Chapter 3

Akio wasn't the kind of girl who liked to be in school that much. She'd rather stay home and sleep all day, but that wasn't an option she could take at all. And if she did then her parents would get very angry and do who knows what. Plus if she did try then Ryan would just come upstairs and drag her outside to school anyways. So either way she would always lose and either way was forced to go to school.

The first period bell rang and everyone filled up the classroom with chatter. The teacher was late, as always, and no one really cared. Akio sat at the window farthest away from everyone. Since she had never really spoken to anyone since the "accident" no one spoke to her. That was just how this school was she guessed. And she was too afraid to get close to anyone in case they found out her secret by accident.

A couple minutes later the late bell rang and the teacher came crashing in. And at the same time everyone said, "You're late teach. You're suppose to be the responsible one!"

"I know. I know, but I got caught up in traffic and my baby girl just wouldn't let me leave the house. You know 2 year olds, they never want their parents to go."

"That's a sweet, yet lame excuxse teach." One of the guys said.

"It's a sweet and good excuse. You boys never get anything like that." A girl said. And soon enough an argument broke out between the girls and guys in the class. This was how it always was in Akio's class, but then again this was how it always was in the whole school. She knew this was going to be awhile before the teacher got them all calmed down so she decided to take a short nap.

Once the bell rang for lunch Akio grabbed her bag and left her English class just like everyone else. She walked around the halls for a bit trying to figure where she should eat her lunch today. Should I eat on the roof or in the forest today? She thought to herself as she stood between the stairs that lead to the roof and the door that lead outside towards the forest. No one really went to either during lunch. Everyone either stayed in the class room or ate in the eating areas of the school grounds. Akio just sighed and walked outside towards the forest. No one really went there anyways and she could take her hat off and let her tail sway without anyone barging in.

Akio took out her lunch bag from her school bag and began eating the sandwich that her mother had made her this morning before she left for work. She took a bite out of it then spit it out. "Gross what is this?" She said to herself then lifted the top of her sandwich to see that it had mayo, lettuce, tomato, and peanut butter. "Yuck this is not my sandwich. Whose is it then?" She grabbed the paper bag and saw that Jack's name was written on it. Great so I have Jack's sandwich and he has mine. He probably thinks mine is grosser than his. But I have to say mayo, lettuce, tomato, and peanut butter is much more disgusting than tuna is. She thought as she wrapped up Jack's sandwich again and put it back in her bag. She also untied her tail and took it out from her skirt and let it sway for awhile.

It was a good thing that Akio and Jack had accidentally switched lunches before. She had learned her lesson after a couple of times and learned to bring an extra snack now and again. So she was chewing on a banana when she heard a voice yell, "I got it guys!" Then she heard some rustlings in the bushes.

Akio walked towards the clearing that was in the middle of the forest. She never really knew what was on the other end of the forest, but when she was on the roof of the building she saw another school on the other end. So that's what she guessed was on the other side of the forest, but she didn't know what the name of the school was though.

When she got to the clearing she saw no one there. She looked around and heard some rustling near and saw a girl standing against a tree. The girl had her eyes closed and when she opened them her eyes became wide for some reason. Akio tilted her head in confusion then looked closely at the girl and saw that she had ears on her head. And her own eyes became wide. There was someone just like her.

"Umm… hi… My name is Sayuri Kyou," the girl said, "on the last name first name bases."

"I'm Usaka Akio. And don't worry I'm not going to tell anyone about your ears. I've got a pair as well," she said as she took her hat off to show her black ears. "And this too," her tail swayed from behind her to in front of her.

Akio looked at Kyou she had on a different uniform than her. Akio looked at her confused. "What school do you go to?" She asked as she yawned. "Sorry force of habit."
