CHAPTER ONE

Hana was sitting in class with Daichi, Rinka, Chiba and Izumi. The teacher was in the middle of a lesson when the door slamned open. A group of Yankees walked in. A voice from the middle of the group said, "Hi. I'm Nessie."

The teacher said, "You're in the wrong class."

Nessie sighed. "Guys, move so I can see the teacher."

The group parted and in the middle stood a girl. She looked around the room and spotted Hana. "No, I'm in the right class. Uncle Yuki gave me a picture of Adachi Hana and told me to go to her class."

Nessie showed everyone the picture. The teacher asked, "Who are you?"

"My name is Nessie. I just transferred to this school."

The teacher sighed. "What about these guys?"

Nessie stepped out of the circle of guys and turned to them. "Guys, go to your classes and behave. You know what I'll do if I find out you've been bad."

The group answered as one. "Yes, boss."

The guys left. Nessie turned to the rest of the class. "Sorry about them. They want to protect me even though I'm stronger than all of them."

The teacher sighed. Nessie noticed that the only seat available was by Hana and her friends. She walked over to the empty seat and sat down. The teacher resumed the lesson. Nessie just quietly took notes for the rest of the class.

Hana and her friends took notes for the rest of the class, but they also kept an eye on Nessie. They wanted to be ready in case she caused a disturbance. Nessie surprised everyone when she started to answer the teacher's questions. During break time, Nessie stayed at her desk while everyone else got in groups to talk. Hana and her friends got in their group.

Hana asked, "What do you guys think of Nessie?"

Daichi put his arms around Hana. "She actually seems very nice."

Chiba nodded to show he agreed with Daichi. Rinka said, "She's smart."

Izumi looked thoughtful. Daichi asked, "What's up, Izumi?"

Nessie sighed. She could hear them talking because of her demon blood. Suddenly Rinka stood up and pointed at Nessie. "I remember where I know your name from, Nessie. You're also known as Snake Demon, and you're the leader of the Demons."

Nessie looked over at Hana and her friends. "You are correct, Young Leopardess."

Everyone gasped in surprise. Rinka asked, "How do you know my gang name?"

Nessie smirked and turned towards the window. "I know everything about Hurricane Ada and her friends."

Chiba and Rinka gulped. They both liked each other but are too afraid to tell each other. Hana asked, "Why did you transfer schools?"

"My parents died in a car accident two day ago. Uncle Yuki said my gang and I could go here."
