"WAKE UP!" screamed Lith in Ayato's ear.

As Ayato grumbled he punched Lith in the head. "Ow! That hurt, you know!" complained Lith like a little girl.

"Shut up and get ready to go, you idiot." replied Ayato as he got up. Lith turned bright red when she noticed what she was doing. She quickly scrambled out of his room and headed downstairs. She was once again followed by whispers, especially as she was dressed in a school uniform.

Lith burst out of the base and took out her rinkaku, jumping from rooftop to rooftop as she headed towards the school. This unfortunately caused a lot of commotion on the streets bellow as they spotted a ghoul with a mask jumping around the city in the middle of the day.

Lith finally realized the mistake she was making when she began to see blockades around the city. It seemed that people had called the CCG with reports on a ghoul. She nervously glanced at the three doves that seemed to follow her on the streets.

She needed to hide, and fast. She'd have to do something that would surprise them long enough for her to escape, so she came up with a plan. She stopped on top of a small building, waiting for the doves to begin climbing. As one of the dove's eyes came into Lith's vision, she saluted to him and dramatically jumped backwards, off the building.

As Lith gazed at the school, she began seeing, hearing and smelling so many new things. There were so many humans, but she could sometimes smell the odd ghoul here and there. Lith began walking around the entrance of the school and saw an adult.

"Ne, do you know where 8th grade is? This is my first day here, and I'm not sure where to go…" Lith quietly asked as the teacher turned to face her.

"Sorry, I couldn't hear you. Could you repeat that again?" asked the teacher.

"Do you know where 8th grade is?" Lith asked in a slightly louder tone.

"I still can't hear you." said the teacher with a plain expression.

"DO YOU KNOW WHERE 8TH GRADE IS!?" screamed Lith.

"Now, now, young lady, you should know better than to raise your voice in school." replied the teacher. "Since you seem to be new, I'll forgive you. But the next time you'll get detention."

As the teacher explained, Lith began to get more and more nervous. As the bell rang, she headed straight towards the classroom, worried about being late and getting scolded once again on her first day of school. As she walked in, she noticed that the students in her class were already there. As she closed the door, everyone watched her, including the teacher.

Lith quickly began to panic as the teacher walked towards her and lead her to the front of the class. "Everyone, this is Lith. She is a new transfer student who until now was home-schooled. Would you like to introduce yourself?" asked the teacher.

"Um, sure. Hi! My name is Lith, although you probably already know that. Um, thank you for having me here!" squeaked Lith as she quickly bowed down and looked at the teacher with nervous eyes.

"You can have a seat in the back. Choose between either of the two empty seats." stated the teacher.

As Lith quickly stumbled towards her spot, she wondered who was supposed to sit there. Maybe they were absent?

Suddenly, the door slammed open and Ayato walked in, yawning. With slammed her head on the desk which caused everyone, including Ayato, to face her. "This can't be happening." she mumbled as she began to curse at the luck she always had.

"A-anyways class, this is another transfer student, Ayato Kirishima." the teacher said, attempting to get the snickering students to pay attention. "Would you like to introduce yourself to the class?"

"Not really. I'm just hear because I have to, so if you get in my way, you'll be sorry." stated Ayato as he went to sit beside Lith. Lith quickly turned her head away from Ayato, clearly mad at the fact that he was in the same class as her. And that he had decided to sit beside her. Although he didn't really have an option, since all the other seats were taken.

As the class began to start, Ayato fell asleep. No one wanted to wake him up, due to the fact that they were afraid. After all, not only did he talk like he was serious, but he even had the muscles to prove his physical ability.

—

As a loud bell rang through the school, the students of the 8th grade class stormed out.

"Ne, ne, Ayato, wake up!" whispered Lith as she gently shook him. Unknown to her, the students were eagerly watching how the two new students were and how they interacted.

Ayato raised his head, punched her in the face, and went back to sleep. The atmosphere around Lith quickly changed as she turned red (from anger, of course) and clenched her fists.

"WAKE UP, YOU IDIOT!" roared Lith in Ayato's ear. Due to ghouls having exceptional hearing, they were also very sensitive. He jumped back in surprise and fell of his seat.

"Tch. What was that for?" grumbled Ayato as he got up. An infuriated Lith grabbed him by the ear and dragged him towards the cafeteria. As Lith noticed that everyone was watching them, she decided to buy some food and stay away from Ayato. He needed to learn to socialize. And so did she!

As she quietly sat down at an empty table, she was approached by a girl from her class.

"Can I sit here?" she asked as she curiously watched Lith.

"Sure." said Lith while eating her food, completely unaware of the fact that it was bad manners to do so.

"Have you enjoyed the school so far?"

"To be honest, it was hard to concentrate during class due to Ayato's constant drooling." responded Lith, laughing nervously. "But yeah, it looks fun."

—

At the end of the day, it was Ayato that dragged Lith out of the class. "Awe come on! I wanted to talk with some of the students in the class! This isn't fair!" complained Lith.

"Look, we aren't here to make friends. We come here on a mission and we need to find out the abilities of the ghouls that go to this school." whispered Ayato as they passed through the hallway. Students gawked at the odd pair as they made their way down the hall.

"Aren't those the new transfer students?"

"He looks so dreamy~"

"I wish I was being dragged around by him like that."

"I wonder if they're dating."

"She looks adorable!"

Both Ayato and Lith turned red as they heard the whispers going through the hallway. They quickly stormed out.

"Geez, tomorrow, make sure you don't fall asleep in class so I don't have to wake you up." said Lith as they walked towards the Aogiri Tree base.

"It's not your job to wake me up." responded Ayato.

"It's my job to make sure you stay out of trouble." stated Lith.

"Since when?" asked Ayato.

Lith stopped talking as she thought about it. It wasn't really her job, so why was she doing it? She shrugged off the question and continued walking. "Wouldn't it be better to stay at the dorms? It would be easier to hide our identities and if anyone follows us, we won't look suspicious."

"Probably. Although I don't want to be with those humans 24/7."

"I think thats a great idea. I'll meet with your principle to arrange everything." said Eto.

Ayato and Lith jumped. They hadn't noticed Eto approach them. As quickly as she appeared, Eto disappeared.

—

The next day, Lith was approached by several girls in her class during lunch time. They all began to ask questions.

"Are you dating Ayato?"

"Do you like him?"

"Does he have a crush on you?"

"Is Ayato dating anyone?"

"Is Ayato mean?"

"What does he like?"

"How do you know him?"

"Are you related?"

Lith turned redder and redder by every question. "Enough! I want to eat peacefully! Leave me alone!" She left her seat and headed towards the soccer field. Where was Ayato? Hopefully, he wasn't feasting on a student… The thought of it made Lith shudder.

"Watch out!" yelled the boys in the soccer field as the ball headed straight for Lith's face. In an instant, she caught the ball with one hand. She was really pi**ed off. Lith walked towards the field with a scary looking face.

"Who kicked this ball?" she asked with a sudden sweet smile.

"It was me." replied a boy from her class named Jisaki.

"Apologize." mumbled Lith.

"What? Why would I do that? It's your fault for being there in the first place." Jisaki said in a taunting voice.

"Now you're in for it." teased Ayato as he appeared from behind.

Lith walked towards Jisaki and lifted him by the collar (she was surprisingly strong, although that's to be expected, since she's a ghoul after all).

"Never, and I mean NEVER do that again." whispered Lith. She let him go and tossed the ball at him.

As Lith walked away, the students stared in awe at her courage. After all, he was one of the strongest yet meanest students in the school.

—

"Wow, she really showed him!"

"I can't believe she could even lift him! He must weigh a ton, considering his size in comparison to her."

More whispers followed her throughout the day. As she walked by a high school class, she encountered Jisaki once again. This time, she noticed that there was a small elementary girl in a corner, sobbing.

"Like I said, give me your allowance." said Jisaki as his friends began to kick her. Nobody in the hallway attempted to help her, due to the fact that they were either afraid of him, or admired him. Even Ayato stood beside a locker, watching in amusement.

"Did you not learn your lesson last time?" whispered Lith as she approached him. Most of his friends backed away, afraid of what she could possibly be thinking.

Jisaki snickered. "Do you really think you could beat me?"

"Sure, why not?" replied Lith as she faced him. Jisaki attempted to punch Lith when she grabbed him by the arm and flipped him. Everyone gasped as they saw Jisaki stand. It appeared he had hit his face on the floor and had gotten a bloody nose.

Lith took this opportunity to lift the girl to her feet. "Are you alright?" she asked as she tilted her head towards the right.

The little girl burst into tears once again. "Thank you, onee-sama!"

As Lith walked the little girl to her class, she was approached by Ayato. "Seems like you're making quite a lot of friends." he teased.

"Many more than you." replied Lith.
