Chapter 6: Classes Begin

Everyone sat in the desks of the cram school classroom. While Kid, Maka, Black Star and their respective partners sat near the front. Rebecca just sat the farthest back she could.

Yukio stood up at the front of the room, "Now as all of you have witnessed, we are now housing a 'Wanderer'. Ms. Shinemass here is new to it, and our very own headmaster will be training her to control her powers."

Kamiki Izumo's hand shot up, "What is a Wanderer, Okumura-sensei?"

He looked at me expecting an explanation, I held my hands up in surrender, "I hardly know either. Last thing I remember is being in a bookstore with my friends, the next thing I know I'm falling out of the sky!"

"Wanderers are people that have the ability to travel between worlds. They command a special flame called Oblivion, which it's purpose still remains a mystery to normal people. There are different breeds and levels of Wanderers. Level one is a mind Wanderer, are also known as 'assistants' if they have the wandering ability given to them. The ones that are destined to become Wanderers from birth are known as Originals. Level two, is the normal Wanderer, and the type that Ms. Shinemass is currently."

I whistled, "I don't think I've met any other Wanderer, does that make me an Original?"

Yukio shrugged and closed the book he was apparently reading to us out of. "I have no idea, that is something to ask sir Pheles."

I slumped down in my seat as our first class began.

"Rebeka-san, please tell us what form of plants can cause horrible itching?"

"Uh, poison ivy, poison sumac, and poison oak?" Yukio face palmed.

"Rebeka-san, please recite Psalm 22."

"The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley,I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever."

"Well done, but the assignment was Psalm 22, not 23. I'll give you credit if you can recite Psalm 22 by tomorrow."

Rebecca groaned and her head hit the table.

"Now all you pages need to do is draw a little blood and place it on the circle on the paper." Shura said to Soul, Rebecca, Maka, Kid, Black Star, Tsuabki, Liz and Patty, the Exwires just sat on the side, all held a piece of paper. "Once that is done, say the first words that come to mind."

Rebecca poked her finger with the provided needle and let a drop onto one of the papers, "Hm, Recognize me as your master and serve in my quest." A pop sounded and a white rabbit was on the floor.

Soul and Black Star burst out into laughter, "THAT'S NOT EVEN A DEMON! IT'S A LITTLE BUNNY RABBIT!"

"Like you two could summon anything." Maka scolded as a snake-like demon curled around her hand. It had a pointed tail and triangular head with horns. It opened it's mouth at the two boys and two eyes attached to tentacles and multiple tendrils escaped as it hissed it's displeasure. Rebecca jumped back a bit, scared of the demon despite Maka had control of it.

The rabbit stared at the two boys for a moment as well, then at it's horrified master. It grew larger and darker until it towered over them. It roared and they lost all color before fainting. Yet another pop revealed it's cute furry self again. It looked up to Rebecca and said girl just looked at it.

"Did I do good mistress?"

Rebecca squealed, "Yes! Very good!" she said as she scooped up the demon and held it near her shoulder.

"That's a Caerbannog, they choose a master they feel the need to protect and do such for the rest of their life. They are very useful familiars." Konekomaru said. "They also like biting people who get too close to their master." He pushed up his glasses and smiled, "That's a good sign Rebeka-san!"

I looked and saw that out of the eight of us only me and Maka had summoned a familiar.

"What about Maka's?"

Konekomaru looked at the snake demon, "Raione, known for matching their personality to their master's. From this one I'd say that Maka-chan is easily annoyed yet also very kind."

Maka smiled evilly and pet the demon, "I might have fun with this..."

I smiled softly and pet the bundle of fur.

Since Yukio and Rin were the only other people in the dorms we all fit on one table in the cafeteria. I sat near Rin and Yukio with Maka.

"I hope Blair doesn't mess with my stuff back home." Maka sighed.

"I think she'd be too bored to stay home at all." I said.

"Who's Blair?" Rin asked as he slurped up his noodles.

"A cat that can turn into a human, she's been staying with Maka and Soul for a while. Longer then I have. She even took me to South Park and I met another Wanderer there, those two seemed to get along really well." I took a sip of my fruit milk and stared at it in shock, "That's actually pretty good."

"I wonder what she's doing right now?" Soul said absentmindedly playing with his food.

"REBI-CHAN!" Rebecca turned around to see Kuro leading Blair in her cat form into the cafeteria. Blair screamed and jumped in an attempt to tackle Rebecca but changed into a human midway.

Soul and Black Star had passed out from blood-loss and while the rest of the men (Boys(excluding Yukio)) tried to cover up their own nosebleeds. Blair held Rebecca's head in a headlock of a hug and was crying.

"WHY DID YOU LEAVE WITHOUT SAYING GOODBYE! BLAIR WAS WORRIED!" Rebecca was flailing around, while trying to pry Blair off.

"Blair! I can't breathe!" was the strangled reply.

"Oh sorry." Blair let go and Rebecca fell onto the floor.

"Um, are we interrupting anything?"
