I bloody hate school. Far too much writing in a language I am still not good at writing in. Also, paining over my vowels and consonants. Ugh. Well, best get going.

I dump my shoulder bag filled with books, pencils and pens as well as lunch, on the hook. I take of my boots and slip on emerald green silk slippers. I open my bag and take out my pencil case, sketch pad and a few books.

That's the good thing about school. You don't need much.

I walk into my classroom and set my desk up. Once finished, I exit the classroom and walk to the school front entrance to wait for Zero and Ichiru. Eventually they show up, Mr and Mrs Kiryu in tow. I wave excitedly.

'Hey Zero, Ichiru!' I yell. The pair grin and abandon their parents to hug me.

'Suki!' They yell. I begin to run towards them and we all collide. We tumble down in a heap, still hugging one another. It had been the last day of school before the winter holidays had begun when we last saw each other. I close my eyes and enjoy the moment. Suddenly, the moment is shattered when Mr and Mrs. Kiryu laugh. I blush and stand up, untangling myself from the twins. They stand quickly as well.

'Hi Mr. Kiryu. Hi Mrs. Kiryu.' I say quickly.

'Hello, Little Yagari.' Sakai greets. I smile and bow.

'Sakura, how come you didn't train with my boys during the holidays?' Questions Yakama softly. I turn to her.

'I was visiting Kaien Cross and his daughter, Yuuki.' She nods.

'Did you have fun?'

'Yes. Yuuki is nice, and Kaien is fun. A little silly and a fool, but fun.' I answer. She smiles.

'Well, I hope they haven't replaced us.'

'Of course they haven't!' I shout indignantly. The whole family grins.

'Good.'

We chat until the bell goes, signalling that we have two minutes to get to class. I hug the twins' parents and say goodbye, before running off to my classroom.

Ahh, lunch time. The best time of the school day. Food, friends and sunshine. Fantastic in most cases, unless your friends are trying to convince you to skip school an go to the shopping center with your canteen money. Yeah, I'm talking about you Kira. I may have 50 yen, but that doesn't mean I'm going to skip school for shopping!

'Pleeeaaase Sakura.'

'Kira, no.'

'Zero and Ichiru can come.' I turn to look at her, eyes wide with hope.

'Really!? Think they'll come?' I ask.

'Probably.' She shrugs. I frown.

'It will be the first time they have ever skipped out on school.'

'Great!' She says, 'that means we can teach em'.' I sigh and relent. We stand to look for the twins.

XXXXX

'That's a terrible idea, Sakura.' Zero says, staring at me. Y'know, for a ten year old, he has one fierce stare. I wonder how long it took to perfect it?

'C'mon, Z. If you don't come it'll be just me and Kira, and that could be potentially fatal for her.' I plead with him, closing my eyes and opening them again, revealing big green puppy dog eyes. He sighs and closes his eyes before turning to Ichiru.

'Ichiru, you wanna go?' He questions. Ichiru shrugs.

'I guess. Class is being boring and we've never done it before.' Ichiru replies.

'Alright!' I shout, pumping my fist into the air. I quickly grab their hands and become silent as I drag them to a locked gate.

'This is the only entrance and exit from the playground.' Kira announces. I giggle.

'Good thing I can pick locks.' I say. Zero and Ichiru look at me.

'This is the first we've heard of it.' They say in unison. I grin at them and they groan as I yell:

'Twin-y!'

XXXXX

I grin excitedly as we enter a shop. Rows upon rows of different lollies are spread before me. The colourful lollies are accompanied by little pink tags, showing of their cheap prices. Cheap prices + lollies + first day of school canteen money = awesome day! Also, severe punishment, though Toga is pretty used to it by now and probably couldn't be bothered to punish me , yet again, for skipping school on the first day.

A few minutes later, Zero, Ichiru and I (we had ditched Kira a few minutes back) walk out of the shop, with little bags filled with an assortment of lollies. We began to browse other stores, not eating our lollies just yet, before we started heading to the food court. There, we bought ourselves a meal at Freshness Burger. During our meal we talked and laughed. Afterwards, we ate our lollies, before beginning to browse again, eventually running into Kira in a music store. The twins looked at music albums while me and Kira 'Ahh'-ed over an electric guitar.

'Its so beautiful.' I say, running my fingers over a midnight blue model. She nods as she stares at a cherry red one.

'Too bad its out of our price range.' She replies. I frown and turn around, running straight into Toga.

'D-dad.' I say, startled. He glares at me before sighing and pinching the bridge of his nose.

'Snuck out of school on your first day back, again, Sakura?' I make a face.

'Sorry daddy.' I say, pulling out the charms. He looks seriously upset this time.

'Sakura, a lot of vampires have been biting here.' He scolds, his face pleading. My eyes widen in fear and I look over to the window.

'I'm so sorry dad, I never would have done this if I knew.' He nods sadly.

'I know.' He replies, grabbing my hand and pulling me to an open area. Standing there, waiting patiently, is Kaien Cross. My eyes bulge and I must have looked silly as I extended my arms, running towards Kaien's open arms calling his name.

'Suki!' He yells, grinding and picking me up as I crash into his arms. 'How is my knife goddess?' He asks. I giggle.

'As I was a week ago.' I deadpan. He blinks before bursting into tears, crying about how mean I am. I immediately feel guilty and hug him, apologising profusely. He suddenly grins and hugs me tightly. Is he Bi- polar or what? Hearing the commotion, the twins come rushing. The stop immediately when they see Toga.

'Boys. I expect this from Sakura, but I'm disappointed that you came along as well.' The twins lower there heads guiltily.

'Sorry Master.' They say in unison and I just barely held back making a twin-y comment. Instead, Kaien said it.

'They're so cute and twin-y!' He yells, dropping me on my butt. So much for loyalty, Cross. The twins both look up in shock, but Zero doges the hug and darts to help me up. Ichiru was not so lucky. I grin as Ichiru struggles. Eventually Kaien let's go.

'Who are you!?' The twins exclaim. I grin again.

'This is Kaien Cross, the man I spent my holidays with.' I answer. They nod their heads and form an O with their mouths.

'Come on kids. Let's go.'
