"Class we are going to havve a new student today." the teacher announced. "Her name is Himeka Shishio. Come in, Shishio-san."

The girl walked into the room. She has pale white hair in layers that went to her shoulder blades, peircing red eyes and a look on her face that said she didn't really care about school. "Hi. I came here with my...step brother." was all she said.

The teacher said that she was going to sit in the desk near Nana and Sakura. Hinata's old desk. No one knew what happened to her. Some rumors say she was a drug addict and was sent to prison. Others say she caught a secret desease and was sent to a hosptial in America. But the most famous rumor was that her family found her. That rumor exposed that she had runaway from her family and was an abused child, ehich she was.

Himeka went to the desk and sat down and to received a glare from Sakura and a sad, pained look from Nana. Class started but she payed no attrnion to the lesson. She stared at the desk that had, H.H + Y.S., hopefully carved on the desk. She noticed there was three pairs of eyes on her. She looked to the direction of the gazes and saw that Nana, Sakura, and Yurina. Yurina had a supspicious look on her face, Sakura was glaring, and Nana was looking at her like she was trying to figure out a puzzle.

"Shishio-san, the bell rang." a kind voice says to her. Himeka slowly looks over to where she heared the voice and saw Nana smiling at her. "I'm Nana Inoue. This is my best friend, Sakura Mashiro." She pointed to the girl with a blonde pony tail talking and giggling with another group of girls that had pony tails also. Unlike Sakura and the group her black hair was down and cut at an angle.

"Thank you for telling me, Inoue-san. I would love to stay and chat but I must meet with my, er, step brother." She calls over her shoulder as she walks out the door.

"Gen!" she calls when she sees him. He had just punch the shikigami. "I knew there was something wrong with that guy. He seemed too layed back when that girl from class had told him about you."

"I thouht you knew him." he says.

"Knew. Past tense. That was before-"

"Don't. I know you don't like to ralk about it. Let's go, Hime."

"Eh? So that's your new nickname for me? Hime? What happened to Hina?" She asks as they walk away.

"People'd get supsious, you know that."

"Yes. I know but..." she didn't finish. "Never mind. let's hurry and get to class."

"We're late already. Why rush?" he says simply. She shrugs her shouder and walks a step behind him. They turn a corner to find a group of troublesome teenagers.

"Hey little junior higher. Class has started, you have something to do?" the leader asks. his eyes then land on Himeka and his smirk widens. "Or maybe you two just wanna have some fun." Himeka rolled her eyes. Teen boys... she thought. They're minds always go to the wrong places.

"No. We just wanna go through here." he replied with a very light pink on his cheeks.

"well then in that case," he snaps his fingers and two of the guys grap Himeka. "maybe we can have some fun with her. What do ya say, sweetness?"

"Not in a million years. I'd rather kick your butt." she hisses. The guys all laugh at her.

"We know how to break you." A growl is heard from Gen then he attacks them, knowing that nothong else they did would help.

Gen had taken care of the group and turned to look at her. "Go back to class"

"Nope. I was sent here for a reason too." She crosses her arms and stinks her tongue out at him.

He sighs. "You can be so childish. It makes me wonder how you made it this far."

"Because I'm very strong. As strong as you, if not stronger. According to Masa-kun. Now let's go, Gen-chan!" she smiles and runs ahead.

"Hey! I told you not to call me that!" he yells at her and runs after her. She chuckles but stops when she sees a man with a wierd aura.

"Gen..."

"On it." He 'talked' to him and left him on the floor. He looks like a teacher... she thought spacing out. All of the sudden her world changed and she was in a dark space. Two people stood in front of her. A teenaged girl with long black hair and brown eyes and the other was a girl with silver hair, blood thirsty eyes, bat like wings and animal like claws. They alll just stared at each other.

Back in the real world Gen spots her collapse. He puts the teacher down and sighs.

"Better get you to the nurses. What am I going to do with you?" he sighs again and picks her up.
