Hikaru couldn't believe such a beautiful being could exist. Her hair, her eyes, and that body… Hikaru hoped that they might meet again someday.

Of course, Rei was there, at the edge of the forest; waiting for Hikaru just like he promised. "Took you long enough," Rei began, "what was the holdup?"

"Oh, Nothing…" Hikaru said with an awkward smile. "Well whatever that 'nothing' is, I won't go prying for it. Come on; let's get to our first classes." It somewhat saddened Hikaru that he and Rei wouldn't be in the same classes this year. But more importantly, what about Rei? Hikaru was always the social one, and girls seemed to like him a lot too. Rei on the other hand never really liked to be around other people. It was like Hikaru was Rei's only real friend.

"Hey," Hikaru started, "I'll see you at lunch, right?" Rei turned and walked towards Hikaru, placing his hand on his little brother's head and messing up his hair. "Of course, Hikaru." He said with a smile that only Hikaru ever sees. Hikaru smiled back at his big brother with his childish smile. "Cool."

"Now come on, we don't want to be late for our first classes of the year, do we?" Rei told Hikaru. Hikaru sighed and entered the gothic-looking building with his big brother. "I'm supposed to go to classroom 1-2, what about you, Big Brother?"

"1-3, I guess that means we're right next to each other, huh?" Rei responded. Hikaru nodded with a smile. "So, why do you think Father wanted us to come to this school?" Hikaru asked. "Well, he is a supporter of it. Every now and then I would see him writing checks to Yokai Academy, so maybe he just really trusts this school."

Hikaru let out a small laugh. "Big Brother, you're so smart." Rei smiled to his little brother. "Thanks, Hikaru. You're not too dumb yourself." Hikaru wasn't sure whether to take that as a compliment or a mild insult. With Rei, those two things weren't very far apart.

"Well," Rei began, "here's your classroom, Little Brother." Hikaru looked up at the sign above the door. It read "1-2," but it had little demon bats around it. "That's odd." Hikaru thought to himself. "Alright, Hikaru, I'll see you later, okay?"

"Yeah, see you." Hikaru responded. He let out a sigh and opened the door. The classroom was full of students, already in their seats. "I'm not late, am I?" Hikaru asked the teacher. "No, no, you're right on time." The teacher responded with a beautiful smile. "You must be Hikaru, nice to meet you. I'm Ms. Nekonome, and I'll be your homeroom teacher for they rest of the year. Meow!" Hikaru bowed his head in response. "Class, this is Hikaru Takahashi, he's our newest student! Meow!"

"It's nice to meet you all." Hikaru said as he bowed his head to the class. Out of nowhere, the door opened and stepping through it was, of all people, Mizore, the girl Hikaru had met earlier. "Sorry I'm late." She said. Hikaru heart started racing again. God, she was beautiful. "Just take a seat Ms. Shirayuki." Ms. Nekonome said to the bewitching girl.

"Anyways," Ms. Nekonome continued, "Hikaru, why don't you go find a seat? Class is about to start." Hikaru found a seat in the back right next to another pretty girl with light blue hair and a REALLY big chest. Even better, Mizore was just a couple of seats up and to the left of him. This was already an amazing school year for him.

Meanwhile, Rei had found his classroom as well. Stepping in, he saw that his classroom was full as well, all of the students in their seats. "Oh, you must be the new student. Class, this is Rei Takahashi." Most of the students laughed to themselves, sort of. Rei hated his first name being a girl's name. The teacher began, "Rei why don't you find a se…" Rei was already seated in the back corner where the least amount of light was, relatively speaking. This was already a horrible school year. The only way this could get worse was if there was a… "Pop quiz everyone!" the teacher yelled to the class. "Shit," Rei thought to himself, "That's just my luck"

Surprisingly, the quiz was incredibly easy. Rei didn't understand why everyone else was moaning, groaning, and scratching their heads. He handed his paper to the teacher and sat back down. "What the hell is with that guy?" "How can he be done that quickly?" "He must be a genius to be done in 30 seconds." All of these whispers came rushing into Rei's head, and as he looked around, he noticed almost everybody was looking at him. Even the teacher was staring at him in shock.

The teacher stood up and handed Rei's paper back to him, already graded. "110%?" He thought to himself, "How the hell did I get 110%?" It was by the end of the class period that he realized what was going on. When the bells chimed, the last couple of students got finished right on time.

Finally, lunch period; Rei met up with Hikaru in the lunch room. "So, how was your first period, Hikaru?" Hikaru seemed a bit light-headed. "This has been the best… day… ever." Hikaru said with the awkward smile as when he came out of the woods. In Rei's eyes, either Hikaru was crazy, or just that good with life. "Nice to hear, my day has been crap so far."

This snapped Hikaru right out of his hypnotized state. "What's wrong, Brother?" Hikaru asked, concerned. "Well, I got jumped on with a pop quiz today." Hikaru laughed a bit, "My class did, too! I finished just barely on the bell." Hikaru said this with his childish smile and a laugh. Rei sighed to himself, Hikaru's a smart kid, how did it take him so long to finish a quiz as easy as that?
