Towa Ni Shirubi
Chapter 3: The New kid
Miaka happily walked to school…Like always, Bankotsu was already gone. She wanted to tell him about the dream she had the night before…but she knew it wasn't true…it couldn't be. I mean why would an assassin be in love with a girl like Miaka?? That's what Miaka thought all the way to school.
As Usual the Girls were standing at the gate to school ready to make fun of her. Miaka didn't want this to happen…especially when she was in a good mood; this would surely bring her down.
Surely enough, Rianna and her Group of girls came walking up to her with strange smirks on their faces.
"So Miaka, How are you today?"
"Huh?" Miaka couldn't believe her ears. Did they just ask her how she was today? What's going on?
"You Heard me. How are you today?" Sounding almost annoyed she calmly asked this, but why today…what was she planning in that evil, demented mind of hers. Serenely Miaka responded.
"Uhh…Okay I guess. What's with the nice act? You typically great me with a rude remark or something that would hurt me."
"Ohh, about that…" She looked at the other two while using her eyes to say something to the both of them. "…We just decided we should be nice to you for once…I mean we don't have to be mean all the time…right?"
"I guess but…"
"There is no but about it…we just wanna be nice. Is that bad?"
"No, but…
"Okay then…come on…let's get to class."
"Okay" Quietly the four of them walked. Miaka was still trying to figure out what Rianna was plotting. But no use…she couldn't think of anything.
The four of them split up, Rianna and the others going one way and Miaka going the other. As she walked into class, it was quiet as usual. Miaka just sat down. As she pulled her school supplies out...she realized that Aniu hadn't followed her today. 'How unusual' thought Miaka?
"Class, please put your stuff down for a moment. We have a new student today, her name id Deruku Anjiru. I heard that's Japanese for something…what is it?"
"It's Japanese for "DARK ANGEL"…why?"
"Ohh just wondering…anyways…lets see, uhh…Miaka!"
"Yes Ma'am." Startled that the teacher would call on her she jumped a little.
"Would you like to show Deruku around school today?"
"Sure Ma'am." Miaka was relieved that it wasn't anything bad and her heart started to calm down a bit.
"Okay Deruku…since you will become acquainted with Miaka, Would you like to sit with her?" Deruku Nodded very happily and Miaka thought that if Deruku had a tail it would wag more than Anius' would when she was getting dinner.
The Teacher went on with the lesson… every few seconds Miaka would notice that Deruku would glance over as if she was waiting for something.
The rest of the day was normal…until lunch came around. Rianna walked up to Miaka as strange as usual and Miaka just stood there puzzled.
"Come on I told you we were friends, right?"
"Yah…I know…"
"Well then stop looking at me like that, come let's have lunch."
Lunch was like that all 60 minutes of it.
"Hey Miaka!!!" Deruku ran up to her in her cheerful manner.
"Yah??"
"You're going to P.E. right???"
"How did you know???"
"Huh…eh???" Deruku looked as if she'd been figured out for being a stalker
"Lucky guess??"
"Okay??? Yah why???"
"Walk with me…I have it too."
"Okay"
With Those Words spoken they walked side by side t the locker room.
