It was yet another boring useless day at school for Jing. Kir is still mad at him for making him stay outside, in fact Jing is simply amazed that Kir didn't simply fly off like he does every time they have a disagreement. Jing sighed and looked around the room. Same room, same students; his train of thought was interrupted when he saw Takeshi get smacked upside the head by the Harada twins, as they said something about knowing when and when not to use his camera. Same Takeshi. Then saw someone he'd either never seen or never paid attention to before. A rather skinny girl with dirty blonde hair sat at a desk farthest away from everyone else. She was sitting backwards in her chair so she could dangle her legs over the back and rest her back on the desk. Soon Jing also noticed that not only was she listening to headphones but she, like him, was not wearing the school uniform. Instead she wore a black shirt with a graffiti style skull print in white, grey and gold and baggy black pants that had a white stripe down the side and the same graffiti skull on the bottom of the left leg.

As Jing continued to scan the class room he also noticed the Hiwatari boy staring at him. Which, to be honest, kind of freaked him out, and the suspicion he had the Satoshi is gay didn't help at all. He shook it off and decided to look out the window. Guess what he saw… Kir, but this time Kir wasn't giving him the dirty stare he usually got. This time Kir was simply looking at him as if telling him to hurry up. Looks like he's learning to deal with it. Jing thought, just as the Teacher walked in.

"Class" he said trying to get the classes attention. "we have a new student today," Then he looked over at the girl sitting in the back, who took off her headphones and was now looking at the teacher like he was retarded. "Kiretta?"

"What?" She asked, sounding slightly aggravated as she took off her headphones.

"Would you like to come to the front of the class?"

"No"

The teacher sighed, another problem for his class, "Would you stand up?"

"No,"

"Show the class in any way, shape, or form who you are?"

"They see me,"

The teacher sighed yet again. "Would you at least like to share something about yourself?"

"No," After that the teacher gave one final sigh, and gave up. "Okay class, you may talk amongst yourselves while I go make some copies," he said in a way that sounded, to Jing, like he was beginning to regret the line of work he chose.

No sooner had the Teacher left was the poor inexperienced new girl was attacked by Risa.

Just as Kiretta was about to put her headphones on a picture of the "legendary" phantom thief dark was shoved in her face.

"Isn't Mr. Dark just so cool?" Asked an annoyingly high-pitch voice behind the picture.

Kiretta pushed the picture down only to come face to face with a girl just as annoying as her voice. "Okay," Kiretta sighed. "One: Back up. Two: Who are you? And three: No,"

Risa blinked as if trying to understand what was just said to her. When she failed to comply with the first request quickly, Kiretta fixed it for her by grabbing her face and pushing it back.

"Now," She said placing her headphones around her neck and sitting so she could face Risa. "Who are you?"

"How could you not like Phantom Dark?" She said as if someone had just brought her world to a screeching halt.

Kiretta sighed in frustration. This. Is gunna be a long day, she thought. "That, in no way, answers my question,"

"but how ca-"

"First off, he doesn't live up to his name, I mean he sure does get a lot of press coverage for a Phantom thief. Whoever it is that's getting to Dark's target first is more deserving of the title Phantom Thief then Dark. Second. His little "Strategy" is bound to lose affect soon. I mean cutting the power can only work for so long until someone figures him out. And Third. Very few people can pull off purple and yellow skin tight spandex, and he is not one of them," Kiretta said looking rather annoyed.

"But… Phantom Dar-"

"No. This conversation ends…" Kiretta glanced at the door and closed her eyes, holding up her hand, "now," She said and pointed to the door, and as if on cue the Teacher walked in holding a small stack of papers.

Gym time, Today they were outside because the teacher decided that it would be fun to hold races. The class was split into four groups of six and they would race amongst themselves until there was one over all winner from each group.

Half and hour and several sweaty and panting teens later they finally had their four winners. Jing, Daisuke, Satoshi, and Kiretta stood at the dirt trail, that eventually leads from the school the storage shed in the back, which now signified the starting line.

"I'm surprised commander," Jing heard Kiretta say.

Satoshi gave her a side glance, "What do you mean?"

It seemed just like that, a rivalry was sparked. Kiretta shook her head and was about to respond. The teacher cut her off before she could. "On your mark,"

"Try not to break a nail," Satoshi muttered as he braced himself to sprint to the fence the marked the end of the school yard.

"Get set,"

"How 'bout I break you?" Kiretta muttered back.

Jing looked over at the two both looking intense and determined the outshine the other. Daisuke seemed to grow uneasy, sensing the strong waves of tension that seemed to radiate from the two.

"Go!"

Without a seconds hesitation Jing took off and so did Kiretta, leaving the other two behind in the dust, -almost literally-. They both slid to a halt just before hitting the gate.

Of the remaining two Satoshi was the first to reach the finish. Satoshi came to a halt next to Kiretta who was smirking triumphantly at him. When Daisuke reached the fence he promptly collapsed on his hands and knees gasping for air. Kiretta looked down at him. "Asthma?"

He shook his head and looked up at her still breathing hard. "No, your… pretty fast,"

She straitened a bit. A sure sign of an ego boost. "Yup," she said brushing some hair out of her face. For the first time Satoshi, Daisuke, and Jing got a good look at her face, but it was her eyes that caught their attention. The left eye was a deep purple while the right was a bright yellow, almost like a cats eye. "Anyway I'ma head back to the others," she said and turned to leave.

"Wait," Daisuke gasped. "Just let me-" He never got to finish because Kiretta picked him up and slung him over her shoulder.

"Better luck next time, Commander." She said giving Satoshi a slap on the back, with her free hand, hard enough to send his glasses flying off his face before walking off.

"This is going to be an interesting day," Jing said shaking his head.

Satoshi scoffed and picked up his glasses.

"You good now?" Daisuke heard Kiretta ask once he'd stopped panting.

"Uh-huh," He said nodding his head. He felt her shrug and the next thing he knew he was on the ground with Kiretta looking down at him.

"You shouldn't have said anything," She said walking away. "I would have carried you the rest of the way,"

The rest of the day went on like that, Kiretta and Satoshi constantly trying to outshine each other. Every class was a new contest for them. Kiretta had managed to befriend Daisuke, Jing, Takeshi, Masashiro, and Riku while earning the ineffective hatred of Risa by contradicting her every time she said something about Dark. Sadly all Satoshi got was a few bruises. (Poor little blueberry.)

(Author's note: As you have probably noticed. The teacher has no name, and he never will. Because he parents were on crack and decided it would be unique to leave a blank spot on his birth certificate so they could call him what ever the hell they wanted later own. But this ruined the poor boy in school because when ever the teacher did roll call there was a long pause were he was supposed to say "Here" but since no one ever knew he was there he was always marked absent. SO how he went on to be a teacher… The world will never know.)

(Authors note 2!!: Wanna know something sad. I didn't realize that Kiretta's eyes matched dark and Krad until one of my friends finished reading this, paused, looked at me and said "Oh I get it! Like Dark and Krad!" Naturally I became confused so they were like. "Her eyes…" And Me being as smart as I am though for a good second before banging my head on my desk swearing loudly. However I was too lazy to change it… so… yeah.)
