"Risa! Dark didn't steal the goblet!" Riku yelled at her twin sister, "Someone else got there first!"

"How do they know?" Risa asked, determined to prove in someway that Dark could never fail, "What if he just decided to go early?"

Riku sighed in frustration, this was getting nowhere. "Even Hiwatari says that Dark didn't steal the goblet!" "So?"

"Hiwatari is the commander!"

"What if he's just saying that to protect his reputation?"

"What reputation? Dark's managed to escape every time with an artifact and he never denied it before! Why would he deny it now?!"

"Maybe he took one blow to his ego to many!" Risa screamed, desperate to prove that Dark did steal the goblet, although deep down she knew he didn't.

"I can hear you," Satoshi said quietly, with a strong hint of annoyance.

"Sorry Hiwatari," Risa said, slightly embarrassed.

Satoshi simply sighed. he didn't have time for this. He needed to think of someway to figure out who stole the goblet, and just how they got past the heavy security he had setup to catch Dark. Soon he thoughts were interrupted by Takeshi and his infernal megaphone.

"Alright everybody!" Takeshi yelled into the megaphone, catching every ones attention. "Break time is over! Back to rehearsing the biggest scene of the play!"

Satoshi sighed in frustration, yet again. This was going to be hell.

Jing took he sweet time walking down the hall and stopped in front of the door to, what he assumed, was the class the he was supposed to "Attend".

"This the place, Jing?" Kir asked, poking his head out of Jing's bag, giving him something short of a heart attack in the process.

"Kir!" Jing said, slightly annoyed, while grabbing the back of Kir's neck. "I told you to stay at the apartment,"

"But, Jing!" Kir whined, "It's so boring, and there are no girls," He mumbled. "You can't come in,"

"Why?"

"Because, it will look odd if I walk in there with a bird on my shoulder. Let alone a talking one," With that, Jing walked up to an open window and shoved Kir out, closing it before Kir even had a chance to get back in.

Letting out s sigh, Jing walked back to the classroom door and knocked, ignoring Kir's muffled shouts through the window. The door was opened after a few moments by a girl with short reddish hair.

"Hi," She said looking at Jing like he was from a completely different world. Of course he was, but what she doesn't know won't hurt her.

"Hey," Jing said with a slight smile. "Names Jing, The new student," He added seeing the blank look on her face.

"Oh!" She said as a look of realization spread across her face. "Just wait here a sec," With that she disappeared into the class room.

Jing sighed leaning against the wall. After about two seconds he allowed himself to slide to the ground, but the moment he touched the ground a person whom he figured was the teacher walked out, thusly he was forced to stand up again.

"You're the new student?" She asked.

Jing simply nodded, holding in a wisecrack he found wise not to make. After being as to were he was to sit Jing walked into the classroom. No one seemed to notice him, and usually he was just fine with that, but had he known he was about to be scarred as he was. Then he probably would have made himself known on his own. Fore just as he was about to reach his seat, a boy with light blue hair stepped in front of him.

"Why do you always run away form me!" He said rather angrily, at a boy with violently red hair.

Jing's eyes widened as he took a step back. He knew they were working on a play, the teacher told him that much before he entered, but he had not expected that to happen. The blue haired boy had a look an his face that seemed like a mixture of shame and annoyance. (You know that look that screams "BITCH SLAP!"? That's the look.)

"What are you doing? This is supposed to be a love scene, but you two make it look like a fight scene!" A rather obnoxious boy holding a megaphone walked up to them looking aggravated. That's when the boy noticed Jing. "Who are you?"

Jing tried to smile his usual friendly smile, but it came out as more of a cringe. "Don't mind me. I'm just going to go… uh, sit down," With that he walked over to his seat and sat down. Sighing deeply he looked down at the floor and questioned whether or not going to school was a good idea.

"Hey, I'm Riku," Jing looked up to see the girl who opened the door earlier.

"Hey-" but he was cut off by a sudden high pitch and spastic yell.

"Hey! What do you think of Phantom Dark!" A girl with long brown hair had just shoved a picture in his face.

Jing nearly fell over, this was a serious invasion of personal space. "W-who?" Jing managed to choke out grabbing the edge of the deck before he fell out of he seat.

"How can you not know Phantom Dark!" The spas yelled.

In order to protect his ears from the horrible screeching he let go of the desk, and promptly fell to the floor. Riku rolled her eyes, ashamed of her sisters behavior and glad that Jing didn't know they were related yet. She offered a hand to Jing to help him up, and he gladly excepted.

"Sorry about that. Risa's obsessed," Riku said, shooting a nasty look at Risa.

"I can tell…" Jing said, wondering exactly how long he will be forced to put up with this.

"Hey, look at that strange bird," Risa said, looking out the window.

Jing glanced over he shoulder to see none other then Kir, giving him a look that he knew all too well. He shook his head, he was going to have a hard time getting Kir to cooperate later.

"It's just a bird," Riku said, quickly loosing interest but some somewhat relived that something took Risa's mind off Dark, if only for a moment. "Hey Niwa! Come over here!" Riku called out, realizing the rehearsal had ended.

Jing turned his attention away from Kir and saw the red head from before walking towards them. "What is it Miss Harada?"

"This is Jing, he's the knew student,"

"Oh hi! I'm Daisuke Niwa,"

"Jing," He stated sort of dazed as the event from a few minutes ago came back to him.

Daisuke seemed to sense this, because he looked at the floor in shame and said, "Sorry about earlier. We're doing a play and… well…"

"The girls conspired against us, so it's an all male cast," The obnoxious boy from earlier had appeared behind Daisuke.

Jing smiled his usual big friendly smile, even though deep down this boys voice was getting on his nerves.

"Takeshi, this is Jing." Daisuke said, "Jing, this is Takeshi."

Jing just nodded, silently hoping he didn't have to meet anymore people. At the moment the lunch bell rang and Jing sighed in relief, but that moment didn't last long as he remembered the hell he was going to catch from Kir when the day was over. Quickly, Jing grabbed his bag and followed Daisuke and the others down the cafeteria.

(Authors Note: He was horribly late. That's why it's already lunchtime.)
