running,kieko was running, she had no idea why but she was scared, she couldn't even look to see if she was being chased, kieko never felt this much terror all at once, in her mind all she could think about was running, she had no idea why, but every bone in her body told her to run,who was she to deny her instincts? suddenly she began to run in slow motion, it felt as if she was running through molasses,she was using all of her might but she was barely moving. "not fair,they'll catch me now "she said,"why did i say that?"she thought to herself "who is "they"?" she wondered,foot steps soon became loud and audible in the distance and were approaching fast they were running,running after her she knew this from the bottom of her heart, a cluster of dark shadows crowded around her, she couldn't move, it was to hard,they were about to reach her when a bright light engulfed the surrounding area,then it faded leaving a male figure in it's place, he was shielding her, giving his body for hers,she tried to reach out to the figure but it was too far away despite it only being inches away...kieko suddenly opened her eyes to a loud beeping alarm clock shoved in her face,behind the alarm clock was of course, zero. he was kneeled in on top of her in an awkward position while she laid down, ran of course was making a huge deal of this yelling and clawing at the intruder, but he didn't even flinch,(do you know that feeling when wake up, and for five seconds you don't know where you are,or what's happening? yeah, kieko is having that right now) zero then calmly said "wake up,the alarm has been going off for like ten minutes". without thinking, kieko lifted her knee up really fast and nailed him right in the crotch, as his body fell limp she pushed him on the. ran was absolutely thrilled and was boasting about kieko taking him down. soon zero regained his strength and stood up,"what the hell was that for!?" he yelled, kieko sat neatly on her bed and glared at zero "you scared me" she said firmly and angrily."yeah but you don't have to be so rude about it!"he yelled. kieko's face showed udder frustration "rude?...RUDE?, do you know what rude is? barging in a girls room while she's sleeping THAT'S RUDE!"kieko then took her pillow and through it as hard as she could(and trust me that's hard)at zero,it hit him square in the face he removed the pillow from his face to reveal that it was all red. Ichi then walked in the room " what's going on?"he asked "Ichi help me!"yelled zero "kieko are you ready?"Ichi asked "ready?" kieko echoed "yeah as of today we're going with you to school" "that's right,zura" "you mean zero didn't tell you?"Ichi asked,"I was about to, but then out of no where she started wailing on me!"zero accused "the blue one is stupid"yelled ran"hey,give me a break!" zero cried "leave them alone zero"Ichi pleaded"fine"said the two ran out of kieko's room and out the front door. kieko could hear the sound of the car starting up.*about 10 minutes later* kieko sat staring down at the world below her,it was amazing,she has never been this high before.(and no she's not"high") the air up here is so clear,she loved it. "wow this is amazing!"she stated "being a sorcerer must be so cool"she said in excitement."well we're still in training"Ichi reminded her "and if everything goes as planned, we'll be pros when the test ends" zero stated "even if you don't pass, you two are the coolest guys i know"kieko added. zero gave an udder look of disgust, "you just don't get it do you? it doesn't matter that i'm a wizard if i don't pass this exam"zero stated "thats not what i'm saying,your not cool because your magical, you guys are great because..." kieko was interrupted by a giant owl that swooped down at them, the owl flew about 30 feet from the car and swerved back around."great it's son and forte"Ichi stated, son waved over to them "good morning everyone!"she shouted then forte in scowled at her"focus son,we need to get the crystal pearl today!" forte then pulled out his flute and started to play. kieko then began to hover above the car. "eek!" she shrieked she was then picked up by the owl and was being carried away,zero then stood up "give her back!" he yelled as he blasted the owl with his destruction magic causing kieko to fall out of the owls grip, son then summoned an air fish to finish her off. the large pink fish zoomed over to kieko and was just about to eat kieko when Ichi used his magic to put her in a charm capsule ,the giant fish then bit into the capsule and used all it's force to try and crush it, but to no avail. the two magics colliding with each other with that much energy was so great they both exploded, with the charm capsule no longer there to keep kieko floating kieko started to fall, zero and Ichi flew after her in the car,ichi then tried to grab her hand but she was just barely too far away, "this is no time for me to zone out" kieko thought to herself she then maneuvered herself around from her facing back towards the ground to her face towards the ground, almost like a sky diver trying to go faster kieko then tucked herself in to a ball and spun rapidly, she then landed ninja way she landed caused all the dust around her to fly up like a smoke screen. but now her hair was a mess, her shoes were scuffed and she had dirt all over her hands. "you got away this time but next time you're ours!" screamed forte. "nice landing" Ichi stated "who taught you how to do that?"zero asked "yumi and mika did" she stated *in the locker room* kieko stood next to her locker waiting for the first bell to ring,"hey kieko" said a voice "KIEKO!" said another "mika? yumi? hi" kieko said to the girls,(mika and yumi ars sisters,twins in fact but don't let that fool you they are polar opposites. mika is the younger twin, she is the more tomboy one,but don't get on her bad side she will murder you in your sleep,she is obsessed with american rock bands like green day,all american rejects,and Lincoln park and she loves to do parkour. yumi is the lolita twin, she loves everything cute and fuzzy,but don't let that cutesy girl attitude fool you she has a wrath as bad as mika). "you hair is a mess,and you're all dirty!"yumi exclaimed "what happened kieko?" asked mika, *one explanation later*. "wow seems like you've had a busy two days"yumi said "when i meet the guys who made you fall i'll kill them!"mika said angrily "but first lets go to the bathroom and get you cleaned up"yumi stated *in class* kieko sat at her desk trying to keep consciousness as her teacher babbled on, maybe she could catch up on some sleep."alright class we have two new students, the first thing we need to do is find find them a desk." the teacher stated. with those words kieko's head popped up, "did they seriously transfer in to her class? how is that even possible?" she thought to herself. "if it's all the same i'd like to take this desk here next to kieko" zero said "and i'd like to take this other desk next to kieko"Ichii said. all of the girl gasped at this "are you friends with them"said a voice "are you guys dating?"asked another "what's going on?"who are these new guys?" kieko was being bombarded with questions."i'll tell you what it is,it's love" the teacher stated the whole class went silent,kieko tried to hold it in but she just couldn't, within second kieko was busting with laughter "the whole class started staring at her, eventually they caught on and started giggling. after class kieko started to walk out of the door when Ichi and zero picked her up by her arms and started to carry her so class."what are you doing?"kieko cried."were taking you to class what does it look like we're doing?"zero answered "put me down!"kieko cried "i'm sorry kieko, but this is the only way we can keep a close eye on you"Ichi said "if the lady asked you to put her down you do the gentlemanly thing and put her down"said a voice from behind them. "andrew?" kieko asked in surprise. behind the two boys was a fairly tall boy, he had light brown hair that was gelled back ,(like david tennant) he was a bit tan with dark freckles, he was holding on to Ichi's shoulder and held it firm,several girls followed andrew, they all had a crush on him, it was not hard to tell."excuse me, we were just taking her to class"Ichi said in a sweet tone"put her down"andrew said firmly. zero glared at him, and andrew glared back at him, the two put her down "were these two causing trouble for you kieko?" andrew asked sweetly."no, there cool, just a bit out of place"kieko replied andrew grinned and tousled her hair a bit "oh, by the way, here's your headphones, and your ipod, i put some american songs on there for you"andrew said as he handed them back to her. "thanks for fixing them"kieko said."we should go before the bell rings"said one of the girls obviously jealous of keiko's attention "us too" said zero bitterly, as they started to walk away Ichi asked "who was that?""that was andrew he's an exchange student,I loaned him my ipod and asked if he could download some music that mika might like, i don't know how to get american songs on there, he also offered to fix my headphones while he was at it"kieko answered "what's up with you?" kieko asked zero "I just don't trust that guy is all" he replied "is this because he embarrassed you in public? that's a bit dramatic to to go out and say you don't like him because of that"kieko teased "hey,shut up!"zero said defensively "what did you think of him Ichi?"she asked "I can't go so far as to say i like him,but we could have met under better circumstances" Ichi said*after science*(the boys FINALLY let her walk) kieko walked over to the steps"hey where are you going? class is the other way"zero said "yeah, i know, but it's he sleeps through class and gives everyone an A as long as we don't tell anyone" kieko said "so?"zero asked bitterly "so i was going to the rest room down stairs"she said "what's wrong with the one up here?"he asked angrily. "the water is warmer down there, but if you have a problem fine, i'll go to the upstairs one"kieko said a bit annoyed "what' up with you?" zero asked oblivious to himself."you need to chill out before you talk to me like that"she replied kieko just put her headphones on and turned up the music as loud as it would go she didn't need to listen to listen to his bad attitude "what was his problem?" she thought to herself. once she was in the restroom she was surrounded by girls,all asking about zero and Ichi,"great" she whispered to herself among the crowd was son and forte, kieko tilted her head slightly "you're a girl?"kieko stated,forte figured it was directed at him "i'm not a girl the only reason i'd wear this is to capture you!"he said. all of the girls were completely shocked."a boy!" they all shrieked then proceeded to case him out of the room forte then ran past zero and ichi, and the girls became extremely overwhelmed by the two boys and crowded around them causing the boys to get scared and run. slowly kieko peeked out of the restroom ,son peered behind her with a group of air fish,"wana play?" she said then the fish snapped at her,kieko started to run she had no idea how to defend herself,so she just had to hold off a little while was making a mad dash through the hallway, she missed the stair that went down,the only place for her to go was up, so she did. she had now made it to the roof,where could she go?she made it to the railing and peered over, suddenly zero jumped in front of her"way to go genius i thought i told you to stay close to us"zero teased"you're the one who left me!"kieko shouted"you're such an idiot"he yelled "don't call me an idiot!" she screamed "watch this, idiot, idiot, idiot!"yelled zero"this isn't a good time to argue, zura"yelled zura "hey everyone check out my new fish i have a whole army of them and they can't wait to sink their teeth in to you!"son said. zero then through a fire ball at them and took out half of them,but almost instantly they reappeared. zero kept fighting them but they kept coming back"screw this!" kieko yelled and she jumped over the railing. she carefully positioned herself so she was now running down the side of the building,kieko saw a big crowed that was down below her, and to avoid hurting anyone, kieko pushed off the wall and did a front flip before landing on her feet and continuing to run."funny"she said to herself, "I could have sworn that was Ichi in the middle of that crowed" she thought. a cloud of dust followed her as she ran,making the crowd of girls behind her complain about getting dust on their air fish emerged at keiko's sides and began to snap at her,kieko ran into the locker room,next to the entrance was mika and yumi,kieko felt a rush of relief as the two spotted her,she ran towards them and immediately the girls' aura became dark and shadowy,kieko then ran behind the girls, they started to beat the crap out of the fish (i swear if you saw this you'd cringe) yumi kneed one of the fish in the face, mika then punched one in the eye, then the two proceeded to beat the fish in a comedic fashion until a little spirit came out of them.(like in most animes) Ichi and zero finally made their way to the three and started to blast away the remaining air fish, Ichi stared at the several passed out fish on the floor,"how did you do that?" Ichi asked concernedly, "if you mess with our kieko you'll find out"mika said as scarily as possible both of the boys had a large bead of sweat roll down their cheek"who are you two?" zero asked "i'm yumi and that's mika"yumi informed"sup?"mika stated "we're kieko's best friends!"yumi yelled, "why did you jump off the building? i had it under control!" zero yelled "all i saw was you getting hurt, i thought that if i got far enough away that she'd leave you alone, and don't complain about me doing something reckless if you're going to worry me"kieko yelled with a slight remained silent, Ichi then looked at kieko "don't worry about us, we can handle ourselves, but you made us worry when you jumped,we thought you got hurt."Ichi explained. kieko blushed and tried to avoid his gaze,"well i'm fine you can stop worrying" she said sounding slightly annoyed. kieko then spotted zero's arm,it was bleeding,but he was trying to hide it, "honestly, if going to try and hide your wounds from me you'll have to do a better job than that, let's go to the nurse"kieko stated zero blushed slightly it was weird having kieko say she was worried,"fine"he said.
