New Beginnings
(POV: Hikari & Akasha)
It all starts on August 25.
Hikari and Akasha were packing all their stuff, getting ready to head off to school. Summer was over and the school year was about to begin. School would start on September 1st.
“I wonder why we have to start leaving today?” asked Akasha.
“Well today (August 25) is the day for electing classes and getting placed in homes,” replied Hikari, who was packing her clothes.
“Right, I forgot, so what time does the seminar start?” asked Akasha, as she packed the last of her clothes.
“Well, I think it starts at 12:00 p.m. or 1:00 p.m., I’ not sure, but right now it’s 8:47 a.m. If we leave by 9:00 a.m., we should get there about 45 minutes early,” said Hikari. They continued packing their stuff, when there was a knock on the door.
“Come in,” answered Hikari, who turned to see who it was. It turned out to be her twin brothers, Kai and Tai, along with Ivan, Akasha’s older brother.
“So are you guys… uh… I mean girls ready to leave,” asked Tai.
“Yeah… I guess that’s everything,” replied Hikari, looking around to see if she was forgetting something. Kai, Tai, and Ivan helped Hikari and Akasha with their luggage. Donovan and Dante, Akasha’s elder brothers, were waiting outside by the cars.
“Finally,” said Dante, Akasha and Hikari just glared at him. They finished packing their entire luggage into the cars. Hikari went inside the house to get Kiya (her pet white tiger) while Akasha brought Kyo and Zal (her pet cat and snake). As well as Kai and Tai who brought Taku and Haku (their pet Eskimo dogs) with them.
‘Good thing pets are allowed in the Academy,’ thought Hikari. Akasha’s luggage was in Hikari’s car because she decided to ride her motorcycle to the Academy.
“Okay… so is everyone ready and packed?” asked Kai. Everyone just nodded and started to leave. Akasha got on her motorcycle, Donovan and Dante were in Donovan’s red Corvette, and Kai, Tai and Ivan got on Kai’s black convertible Mustang. Hikari got on her new black, blue, with silver convertible Viper, that she had made Kai buy her since she ‘needed a fast car to keep up with Akasha’s motorcycle’. They were driving for about 2 hours, when the guys decided to stop and eat.
“Well, we’re hungry so we’re going to stop at that restaurant,” said Kai.
“Well, you guys go ahead, we’re going to keep going, we’re not that hungry,” said Hikari, while Akasha nodded her agreement.
“Okay, then we’ll meet you at the Academy,” said Kai, waving good-bye and headed towards the restaurant.
“Let’s go,” said Akasha heading off, with Hikari right behind her.
“Drive safely,” screamed Donovan after them. Hikari pulled up beside Akasha and asked, “So, should we drive safely or have fun?”
“Well… you know the answer to that,” said Akasha as she pushed on the gas. Hikari took that as a ‘have fun’ answer and stepped on the gas pedal too. Hikari and Akasha were side by side most of the time.
“How much farther is it?” yelled Akasha, after they had been driving for about fifteen minutes.
“I think it’s about 45 for minutes,” Hikari yelled back as they continued their racing. About 5 minutes after Hikari was in the lead, she noticed a stop light that was going at yellow. She decided to stop, Akasha on the other hand, passed her, thinking, ‘Ha… I finally passed her.’ One of the things that Akasha didn't notice, was that another motorcycle, going at the same speed, had decided to pass the red light. Therefore, the two motorcycles intersected and crashed into each other. Hikari noticed that on the other motorcycle, a guy was a driver and had a girl as a passenger. The guy just lifted his motorcycle, stared at it for a moment, told the passenger to get on, and just drove off as if nothing happened. A Hit and Run. Hikari got off her car and went to check on Akasha, who was getting her motorcycle up.
“Hey… are you okay?” asked Hikari, checking if Akasha was severely injured.
“No… of course I’m not okay… that bastard just left like nothing happened… I could have been seriously wounded,” said a pissed off Akasha.
“Well, the point is you’re not physically hurt, and for them, I have no idea who they are, I’ve never seen them before,” said Hikari.
“I don’t care, but if I ever see that bastard again, he’s gonna wish that he had never been born,” said, more like screamed, Akasha.
“Look, just calm down and hurry up… and anyways it was sort of your fault, if you would’ve just stopped like I did nothing would have happened,” said Hikari.
“Shut up… it was more of that bastard’s fault,” screamed Akasha.
“Okay… whatever, I don’t care, just calm down and hurry your ass up because we’re gonna be late, so stop your whining,” said Hikari, walking towards to her car and getting in.
“Uh… whatever,” said an irritated Akasha.
“I don’t think we should race anymore, we don’t want another accident,” suggested Hikari.
“Fine,” said Akasha calming down and stared at her motorcycle, “Ah… man, my bike’s all scratched,” said a mad Akasha.
“Forget about it, we’ll take it to a repair shop later on, now hurry up,” said Hikari as she drove off. Akasha got on her motorcycle and drove off as well.
‘I’m not sure who those people we encountered were, but I have a feeling we’ll meet them again, I sensed some strong powers within them, now all we have to figure out is if they’re allies or enemies,’ thought Hikari. They drove for another 10 minutes before they arrived at the Academy.
“So where do we go now?” asked a now calm Akasha.
“We’re supposed to go to the auditorium to listen to a seminar and get our schedules,” said Hikari, grabbing Kiya from the car.
“You’re bringing her along?” asked Akasha, pointing to Kiya.
“Of course,” said Hikari, “Hey look, here come the guys.” Their brothers walked over to them.
“So how was your trip?” asked Donovan.
Hikari and Akasha looked at each other, thinking, ‘I don’t think we should tell him about the little incident,’
“Um… It was alright, uh… did you guys eat well?” asked Hikari, changing the topic.
“Yes, the good was good,” commented Kai.
“So shall we enter the auditorium?” asked Dante. They all nodded and went inside.
It was finally August 25th, and Haru was excited, while Amaree was dreading the day. It was the day to register for their classes at Dragon Valley Private Academy (DVPA), and they had to be there at 12 o’ clock. The day before, Amaree and Haru had packed and traveled (in their jet) to the general area of DVPA and had stayed at a luxurious hotel and were having their things delivered to them at their new address, when they got it. (Things that were going to be delivered: Clothes, Important belongings, cars, etc.). Dai and Zane chose to stay in another hotel, farther than the one Amaree and Haru were staying in. The only things that Haru and Amaree brought with them were a pair of extra clothes and necessities, money, Kat, Haru’s portable laptop, and Amaree’s motorcycle. Haru had woken up at around 10 o’ clock in the morning and started to wake up a reluctant Amaree from her slumbering.
“Wake the fuck up! THE ROOM IS ON FIRE!!” screamed Haru into Amaree’s ear. Amaree immediately shot out of her bed, grabbing her gun from under her pillow, and pointing it at Haru in the process.
“WHAT! When, How, Why? What the hell are you talking about?” asked a panicked Amaree, looking around the room.
“Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, I’m just kidding! Just wanted you to wake up so we can get ready, it’s getting late, and you still have to pick out a male outfit, and it has to be good, so that you can make a good first impression!” said an overly hyper Haru.
“WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM?! WAKING ME UP LIKE THAT! I could have killed you for doing that, you idiot! Damn it, it’s just ten, that’s early and I already have something picked put! Now do me and yourself a favor, and get out of the freaking room!” screamed Amaree, slumping on the bed.
“Fine, just trying to wake you, jeez, some people would have appreciated this, I’m going to play with Kat for a little while, then I’m going to take a shower and change, now you have to be ready by 11: 30 a.m. so we can leave, the school is about an hour from here, depending on traffic. ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING OT ME?! URGH, WAKE UP!” screamed Haru.
“Do whatever you want, I’ll be ready by that time, don’t worry,” Amaree reassured Haru, waving her away.
After Haru took Kat for a walk around the hotel, specifically the gardens, for around thirty minutes, she headed back to their room to take a shower and start to get ready. When she got to their rooms, Amaree was hogging the bathroom and didn’t come out until 11 o’clock, and of course, Haru was livid. When Amaree finally got out of the bathroom, she was a guy (Martin) and was wearing a simple white T-shirt with saggy black jean pants with a white dragon on the sides of the leg, old-school Vans (black and white) and a black jacket to match the motorbike.
“WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM, I’M GONNA BE LATE, I STILL HAVE TO TAKE A SHOWER, WHAT WERE YOU DOING IN THERE ANYWAYS?!” screamed Haru.
“Hey, I was taking a shower and getting ready, which I may remind you took longer than usual since I needed to look like a male, and it serves you right for not taking it earlier, like when you woke me up... anyways, I‘ll wait for you in the cafeteria, I’m eating breakfast, see you later, and don’t be late,” replied a calm Amaree.
“URGH, damn it, just leave Amaree… argh… Martin, I gotta remember it’s Martin now!” said Haru.
After 30 minutes, and a hurried shower later, Haru emerged from the bathroom she couldn’t decide what she wanted to wear. She had brought her two outfits with her: one that practically said ‘schoolgirl’ and the other saying ‘Rebel’. After a couple minutes of consideration on how she wanted to act in school, she decided with the latter, so 10 minutes later, Haru was wearing a mid-thigh blue jean skirt with black tights and black boots, a black tight shirt with a blue jean jacket on top, sporting a big black and blue dragon on the back. She had let her hair loose, had put some black eyeliner and black lip gloss, and was wearing her regular jewelry: a spiked- choker, -bracelets, lip- and eyebrow- ring, her sapphire dragon earrings, and her black with a silver dragon tongue ring studs. After inspecting herself one last time in front of the mirror, she got her black helmet and small backpack containing her laptop, from her bedside table and made her way to the cafeteria, to look for Amaree… err… Martin. As she walked through the doors of the cafeteria, people stopped what they were doing and just stared at her. She spotted Amaree/Martin, flirting with the waitress and made her way over there.
“What the hell are you doing? Stop flirting if you don’t mean it, you’re gonna break her heart. We’re gonna be late if we don’t go already, let’s go, and what the hell are you looking at?” asked an irritated Haru.
“Uh, I… I mean… I’m just going… to go… over there… no over there, have a nice mor- morning,” stuttered the waiter as she made her way to the other tables.
“What the hell is her problem, sheesh, she sounded like she saw death itself or something, let’s go, SHIT! Let me pick up Kat first though,” said Haru as she made her way outside to the hotel’s garden.
“Jeez, maybe she did see death, or something very, very similar,” muttered Martin, “I’ll meet you at the front, hurry up,” he yelled out after Haru. After Haru found Kat drowsing on one of the benches in the garden, she scooped him up and carried him to the front where Martin was impatiently waiting for them.
“Hurry up, we’re gonna be late, and there’s traffic, sheesh, and you’re the one who woke me up early?! How are you going to take Kat? Are pets even allowed? HURRY UP!” whined an irritated Martin.
“You do know that you sound like an annoying, spoiled, brat-girl, right? Stop your WHINING! Has it ever occurred to you that this is entirely your fault for hogging the bathroom? Besides, we could easily weave through the traffic since we’re going on a motorcycle! And yes we could have pets, and you let ME worry about how we’re taking him, now hurry up, let’s leave,” answered Haru, after she had put on her helmet and got on the motorcycle, holding Kat close to her chest with her left hand while holding on to Martin’s waist with the other. After what seemed like forever for Haru of driving, she started to get bored and started to fidget, in other words, she was annoying the hell out of Martin.
“What the hell, stop moving… thank you… I think that it’s another forty minutes from here, according to this map, (map computer chip that is installed on the motorcycle)… so I’m bored too, let’s talk… So are you nervous?” Martin eventually asked.
“A little bit, you?”
“Nah, it’s just like another mission, you just gotta know how to survive school. There are a lot of people, you know, so you have to be careful, nothing we haven’t done before though, so don’t stress yourself too much about it,”
“Yeah, you’re right, though you’re gonna have to act dumber, that was way to smart for you. I’m supposed to be the smart one.”
“Brat,”
“Hey, I resent that! Why are you going faster? That street light is red,”
“Don’t worry yourself about it, besides, I don’t see any cars, do you?
“YES!! WATCH OUT!!”
“SHIT!”
They were at the intersection, when Haru spotted another motorcycle coming their way. When Martin heard her shout, he saw it and turned to the right (where he was going anyways) causing the two motorcycles to collide and veer off course. After the collision, Martin just got a good hold of his motorcycle, after inspecting it for a moment, told Haru to get on, and continued on his way, without a backward glance.
“WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM?! We have to make sure that she’s okay, at the very least. Jeez, at least she knows how to drive!” screamed Haru.
“That idiot! She scratched my bike, DAMN IT, that asshole, I wish I could find her and kick her ass. Now I have to take it to the shop or something,” stated an annoyed Martin, ignoring what Haru had just said.
“You’re worried about that?! You idiot! You could have hurt poor little Kat. He’s trembling you idiot! Learn how to drive or next time I am!” screeched Haru.
“Don’t worry about it, it’s nothing, we’re probably not even going to see them ever again. It’s not like we can recognize them, I barely saw her, and don’t worry about Kat, he’s strong,”
“I know he’s strong, but he’s on his small form! But, on the other subject, us not looking at her doesn’t mean she didn’t have a good look at us, and they could press charges, since it was your fault,”
“Look, just drop it, we’re here already,”
“For now. Okay! Let’s go inside, we have 15 minutes before the seminar starts and we have to find the auditorium,”
“Yeah, whatever, I just need the address to that damn mansion, I don’t understand why they could not give it to us through the mail instead of making us come all the way here for that,”
“First of all, we also have to pick our classes. Second, I think it has something to do with the people’s power level, they want to feel the persons aura and see which group of people match each other and would work more efficiently as a group. I think that the headmaster, in my interview, said something about the mansions competing against each other in various areas, and they want to get the people with the same level together so that they could work together in the future, oh and the winner in this year long competition gets something, but I forgot what it was. These competitions are cool though, cuz you have to get the most points and you have a lot of chances of getting them, especially in the classes and sports and annual event and many other things, with us two working together, I think we have a pretty good chance at winning. I just hope that our roommates are competitive and smart as well,”
“Yeah, hey how come I didn’t hear about all this? I want to be informed about this too!”
“Oh, look we found the room alright, damn it’s so full, let’s try to find seats, oh and all the information was in the booklet I gave you, but don’t worry, the headmaster is going to go over all the important things from the booklet in the seminar that’s supposed to start right now, so you’ll be informed about all the things… if you listen,”
“Hmm, good, I wonder what these events will be, how the hell are we gonna compete at sports based on the mansions, isn’t it supposed to be mixed with all the other students, and in sports we have to work together,”
“See, that’s the catch, they want you to think that you have to play as an individual in the field, but I think that they judge a person on how well they play the sport and how they play with their teammates. I think in Track, it’s going to be easy, since it’s mostly individual, almost no teamwork involved. Oh, shh, the seminal is about to start.”
Kyoto was in her bedroom, finishing packing all of the things that she would need in the new school, when there was a knock on her door.
“Are you ready to leave, dear?” asked Lily, her mother.
“Yes mom, I just finished packing,” replied Kyoto.
“Okay then, your father is already waiting in the car,” said her mother.
“Okay, then let’s go,” replied Kyoto. With that said, they got out of the house and were carrying her things into the car.
“So are you ready to leave,” asked Tai, Kyoto’s father, when she started going into the car.
“Yes dad, we can leave now,” Kyoto replied. 'I wonder how this Academy is going to be like,' she thought as her father was driving away from her home.
“Were almost there, just about 10 minutes away,” stated Tai, after he had been driving for half an hour. Will I make friends? How will it be? Can they help me? were some of the many questions that were running through her mind. She was getting more nervous as they got closer to the school.
“Well, here we are,” declared Lily, after they had been driving for another 9 minutes. Kyoto nodded and got off the car.
“Well, we’ll be out eating somewhere, call us when the seminar is over so we can pick you up and take you to the place you’ll be living at,” said Lily.
“Uh… Okay. Bye, I’ll see you guys later,” said Kyoto waving to her parents. Her parents waved back and drove off. Kyoto began looking for the auditorium. ‘This school is really big,’ thought Kyoto. About 5 minutes after she found the auditorium. There were many students there. ‘Okay, I just need to calm down, this will be a good experience,’ thought Kyoto entering the auditorium.
It was 11:30 and Sirena was still sleeping in bed. Once her eyes came open, she saw Yaten’s stupid face, smiling at her. Yaten was the servant driver Sirena’s parents had hired to take and pick Sirena up from school.
“Why didn’t you wake me up, you dog!” Sirena screamed.
“You looked so cute snoring in your sleep,” replied Yaten.
“I’m going to be late,” Sirena yelled, as she started to undress in the bathroom. Once she was dressed and ready, she got on the nice new Jaguar that her parents had bought her. Unfortunately, Sirena didn’t know how to drive, so Yaten was hired.
“Hurry up and drive faster,” Sirena yelled. Yaten just smiled and ignored her. Finally, the car stopped in front of the school and Sirena got off.
“Ahh… it’s 11:56... I’m going to be late for the seminar,” Sirena said to herself. She ran inside and took a seat without realizing that she sat down next to a cute guy. She turned all red and stayed quiet as the assembly started.
In the Auditorium
(POV: Hikari & Akasha)
Hikari was sort of paying attention to the seminar, while Akasha was just plain bored, she always got bored with lectures.
“So what time is this thing over?” asked a bored Akasha.
“I think in about 45 minutes,” replied Hikari. The lecture continued for around 25 more minutes before Akasha asked,
“So when do we select our classes?”
“In about 5 minutes,” replied Hikari. Five minutes later, people began moving around.
“What’s all the motion for?” asked Akasha.
“I think we have to get in groups by our ages,” replied Hikari.
“For what?” asked Akasha.
“To select our classes. Look there’s our group, ages 15-19,” replied Hikari, so they started walking towards their group.
“There you two are, where have you been?” asked Kai.
“Well, there’s a big crowd and it was hard to get through,” replied Hikari.
“Well, just get in line, so we can select out classes,” said Kai.
“So how is our schedule going to work out?” asked a curious Hikari.
“Well, you select at least 5 classes or more if you want, but no more than ten. Anyways you go to 7 classes on Monday-Thursday and 3 on Friday, but that’s only if you select 10 classes,” replied Kai.
“Oh… so I can select 10 classes…hmm…oh yea so where are we living?” asked Hikari.
“Well they’re sensing our powers. In order for us to be stronger, we’ll live among others as strong as us,” said Kai.
“Huh?” asked a confused Akasha.
“Well they’re sensing our powers to split us into homes with others as strong as us,” repeated Kai.
“Oh… so after we select our classes they’ll tell us where we’re going to live?” said Hikari.
“Exactly,” replied Kai.
“But, how do you know that we’re gonna be in the same house and not in different ones?” asked Akasha.
“Don’t worry about it,” smirked Dante.
“Well, whatever… How are we selecting our classes?” asked Hikari.
“They’re taking us into this separate room where they have computers for us to select our classes,” replied Kai.
“So we select our classes by computers?” asked Akasha with a raised eyebrow.
“Yeah… the computers are installed with all the choices of classes that we can choose from and it makes it easier,” replied Ivan.
“Well… I guess it’s our turn,” said Tai, walking into the room with everyone else behind him.
“Welcome,” said a man, “I’m Han, one of the advisors of this school,” said Han. Everyone said ‘Hi’. Han told them to walk over to a computer.
“Okay, now that everyone is at a computer, you may begin to select your classes, remember no less than five and no more than 10,” said Han.
“I have a question?” asked Kai
“Yes,” asked Han.
“Will you tell us where we’ll live after this?” asked Kai.
“Yes, I will. But you have to select your classes first,” replied Han.
“Okay,” replied Kai. So everyone began selecting their classes on the computers. Han checked them and approved them, then printed the schedules out for them.
“Well… here are your schedules and welcome to Dragon Valley Private Academy,” said a proud Han.
“Thanks,” everyone replied.
“Okay… I’ve decided where you will be living now,” said Han. Everyone looked at him as he handed everyone two keys.
“This key, the gold one, is for the mansion and the silver key is for you bedrooms in your new home,” said Han.
“How far do we live from here?” asked Dante.
“Well, um… about 10 minutes by car,” replied Han.
“Okay, there are your keys and you’ve got your schedules. I’ll see you all back here on September 1st and be on time. Classes start at 9:00 a.m., you are now dismissed,” said Han. Everyone grabbed their things and headed back towards the auditorium. Hikari, on the other hand, went to get Kiya from the seat she was sleeping on.
“Come on, sleepy head,” Hikari whispered to Kiya. She grabbed Kiya and began walking out of the auditorium.
“Where’d you go?” asked Akasha.
“I went to get Kiya,” replied Hikari.
“So did you two choose the classes you wanted?” asked Kai.
“Yeah… there were so many interesting ones,” replied Hikari.
“Well, how many classes did you select?” Ivan asked Akasha.
“I got nine and a free period, you?” asked Akasha.
“I got 6 and 4 free periods,” replied Ivan.
“I got the same,” replied Kai.
“Me too,” said Tai.
“You, Hikari?” asked Kai.
“Well, I got all ten classes,” replied Hikari. Everyone stared at her.
“Will you be able to handle them?” asked Kai.
“Of course I can, I’ll take 7 classes Monday - Thursday and 3 on Friday,” replied Hikari.
“So, can I see your schedules?” asked Donovan. Everyone began exchanging schedules to see what classes everyone selected.

“So I guess we have our class chosen already,” said Kai.
“Well, shall we head to the place where we’ll be living?” asked Kai. Everyone nodded except Hikari and Akasha.
“Are you two coming?” asked Ivan.
“No,” said Akasha.
“Why?” he asked.
“Well we’re hungry, since we didn’t eat, so we’ll go eat first then we’ll meet you over there,” replied Hikari.
“Um… okay then, I guess we’ll see you two later,” said Kai.
“Okay, I’ll call you when we’re almost there,” said Hikari, and he nodded.
“Okay then, take care and don’t cause trouble,” warned Kai as he got in his car with Ivan and Tai, and Dante and Donovan on theirs.
“We’ll try, bye!” said Hikari, waving bye as they left.
“So, where do you wanna eat?” asked Akasha.
“Hmm…I’m not sure,” said a thoughtful Hikari. Just then, Kiya woke up from her slumber and jumped off Hikari’s embrace and began to run away.
“Kiya!” yelled a startled Hikari.
“Wait Kiya, come back!” she yelled.
“I’m going to go look for her,” Hikari told Akasha.
“Well hurry up, I don’t have all day you know,” replied Akasha.
“Whatever,” said Hikari and began running towards the direction that Kiya ran.
‘How am I going to find her? This school is huge…man…where is she? She’s never run away before,” Hikari thought. She was so lost in her thoughts that she was not looking where she was going, and accidentally bumped into someone. She nearly fell over, but the person that she bumped into, grabbed her just in time.
“Um… sorry,” said an embarrassed Hikari, not looking up.
“It’s alright,” said the guy. Hikari looked up and saw a guy, about two years older than her (18). He had Black hair with green shades, green eyes, and a good looking body. Hikari thought he was kind of hot. Just then, Hikari realized that he was still holding her.
“Hi, I’m Jay, and you are?” Jay asked, smiling at Hikari.
“Um… I’m Hikari, um… I’m sorry for bumping into you,” replied a blushing Hikari. She suddenly realized that she was looking for Kiya.
“Uh… I have to go,” said Hikari, moving away from Jay.
“Okay, then I’ll see you around, Hikari,” he said, walking away.
‘Man he’s so hot, but good thing Kai wasn’t here, he would’ve began questioning him and if Akasha had come, she would have just caused trouble,’ she thought, ’I’ll walk more carefully not.’ She began walking around, searching for Kiya. Five minutes later, an annoying, conceited girl came up to her.
“Hi, I’m Risa,” she said, very hyper. Hikari straight out didn’t like her.
“Uh… hi… I gotta go,” said Hikari walking away.
“Okay… I’ll see you later, bye,” said Risa.
‘God… she’s crazy, I don’t want to see her again,’ thought Hikari, continuing her search for Kiya, ‘hmm… where could she have gone?’ she thought. She didn’t really notice the guys staring at her, and neither the one that decided to go over to her.
“Hey,” the guy said to Hikari, smirking.
“Um… Hi,” said Hikari. The guy was about 18 or 19 years old. He was taller then Hikari, had silver hair with black shades, grey eyes, and was well built. He was hot. Not that Hikari noticed, she was to busy wondering where Kiya could be.
“Um… Excuse me, do you know if there’s a garden around here?” asked Hikari, suddenly remembering that Kiya loved ponds and gardens. If the school had one, then she might be there.
“Yeah, there’s one behind the auditorium,” he replied.
“Um… thanks,” she said, starting to walk in that direction, too bad for her, he pulled her hand.
“Hey wait… we haven’t introduced ourselves, I’m Mike,” he said, smirking again.
“Oh… um… I’m Hikari… uh… look I have to go,” said Hikari.
“Trying to free yourself isn’t gonna work, what’s the hurry,” he asked, not letting go of her hand.
“I have something I need to do,” replied Hikari, trying to free her hand. ‘Man, maybe I shouldn’t have worn a skirt today,’ she thought. She was wearing a black mid-thigh skirt with a black tank-top, and black low-top converse, and had let her hair down. The guy was just staring at her with lust filled eyes.
“Look, seriously, I need to go,” said Hikari, getting annoyed.
“No need to pout, let’s just go out and have some fun,” said Mike. Okay, now Hikari became very irritated.
“Look, I’m not interested, now leave me the hell alone!! Go find someone else,” Hikari yelled and pulled her hand away from Mike and continued her search.
“Whoa… she can really throw a tantrum,” said a guy, coming towards Mike.
“I know, but I still want her, I’ll just have to get to know her better,” said a smirking Mike.
“Whatever dude, but she doesn’t look easy,” said his friend, as they walked away.
‘Man… that guy… he’s such a jerk, I can’t believe what he told me, like I would ever go out with him,’ thought Hikari, ‘Wait, he said that there was a garden behind the auditorium, maybe Kiya’s there. I hope I don’t encounter more people,’ she thought as she began walking in that direction. She walked behind the auditorium and saw a beautiful garden. ‘I guess he wasn’t lying,” she thought. Then something white caught her eye. She began running towards the thing that had caught her eye. She then noticed that another girl around her age that was also going towards the white tigers. Hikari looked down on the ground and saw two white tigers lying down together. She noticed that it was Kiya and a male white tiger.
“Kat,” the girl said, seeming more calm.
“Kiya,” Hikari said. They both looked up. She grabbed Kiya and the girl grabbed Kat. Hikari looked at her, ‘She seems nice, besides her appearance,” she thought.
“Um… Hi, I’m Hikari, Kiya’s owner,” said Hikari.
“I’m Haru, Kat’s owner,” said Haru.
In the auditorium
(POV: Haru & Martin)
The headmaster had been talking for about 45 minutes now, about the aspects of DVPA, the events that were going to occur; like the ‘Welcome to School’ dance, festivals, etc., and about the different classes that you could take. Haru turned around to talk to Martin, only to find him snoozing.
“Hey! Wake up!” whispered Haru, as she poked him on the ribs.
“OW! Damn it! What do you want?” asked an annoyed Martin.
“Nothing really, I was just bored, and have no one else to annoy,” said an innocent faced Haru.
“You do know that the innocent face routine doesn’t work when you’re dressed like that, right?”
“Yeah, I’m just bored and Kat is sleeping. Oh hey, I think we should start moving, everyone else is, I wonder why?” wondered Haru.
“Gee, I don’t know, maybe it has to do with those age banners over there,” Martin drawled sarcastically, pointing at a wall behind Haru.
“Shut up, I wasn’t paying attention,” said an embarrassed Haru, as they made their way to their respective age group banner, which read ‘15-19’. Apparently, they were going into a different room, with computers so that they could pick their classes and their addresses to where they were going to live, in groups of 8. When they got there, they were one of the last ones, so they went to the farthest room with a grumpy advisor named Kitchu.
“So, people, go into this room, get a computer, pick your classes, no less than 5 and no more than 10, press ‘send’, and I’ll give you your schedule and Mansion address and keys,… MOVE IT!” snapped Kitchu.
“Jeez, what’s his problem? Looks like he hasn’t gotten any,” remarked Haru.
“Oh, shut up and pick a computer,… and he’s just the same as you,” said Martin.
“Huh? How?” asked a confused Haru.
“Oh, you know, that you haven’t gotten any,” said Martin.
“WOW! I hardly think that less than a day as ‘haven’t gotten any’,” muttered Haru, because Kitchu was staring at her at the moment. After he hadn’t looked away, Haru winked at him, and he glared at her.
“Wait a minute,” said Martin, as he was processing her comment, “ what do you mean ‘less than a day’? You didn’t do anything or go anywhere yesterday,”
“Yea, that’s what you think. Where do you think I was last night? Running? And even if I hadn’t gotten any, there are plenty of people in this school,” she commented
“You wouldn’t!”
“You keep telling yourself that. So are you finished picking your classes yet?” asked Haru.
“Yeah, Kitchu has it already, now he has to approve it, you?”
“Same here,”
“Okay, here’s your schedule, Mansion address, and your keys. Haru Ohaku and Martin Yui, oh by the way Martin, the headmaster wants to talk to you, he’s waiting in the next room,” said Kitchu.
“Let me see your schedule,” said Haru to Martin, once they were out of the room.
“Here,” said Martin, “I’ll see you outside, I’m gonna see what the headmaster wants.”
“Alright,” said a distracted Haru, as she was trying to compare their schedules with Kat in her arms.

“Um… Hi, my name’s Enriqueta Sablini, Enri for short,” said Enri as she stretched out her hand towards Haru.
“And I care because?” asked a stoic Haru.
“Oh, um… I thought we could be friends or something, you know since you’re a loner and all,” answered Enri, reverting to speaking in a snobbish way.
“Right, well you thought wrong… now go along and play, those guys are waiting for you around the corner, don’t want to disappoint them, now do you?’ asked Haru in a cold voice.
“Well, I’m afraid I already disappointed them, seeing as how I would prefer what’s right in front of me, what do you say?” asked Enri, in what must have been her most seductive voice.
“Well, even though I could go that way,” Haru said, all the while getting closer to Enri. Once she got closed enough, she licked and sucked on her earlobe for a few seconds, then whispered into her ear, “it’s still a not-even-in-your-wildest-dreams, I had a bad experience with a slut like you,” she said, moving away from her.
“Oh… well, I’ll see you around,” said a very disappointed Enri, clearly confused as how Haru’s tongue ring turned her on.
“I don’t think so,” said Haru and walked away, barely noticing that Kat was missing. ‘Damn it! IT was all that sluts fault, why the hell did she have to come on to me, shit… I mean, who would ever go out with someone that dresses like that?… I wonder where he went? Kat never goes off like that, he was probably scared of that Enri slut, can’t blame him though, even I wanted to run away, stupid image that I want to keep… I wonder where he went, hmm… where would if I was a tiger and was traumatized? He he, hmm… I think I saw a garden like 5 minutes ago, maybe he went there,’ thought an irritated Haru.
As she made her way to where she thought the garden was, she got stopped various times. The first time was by another girl, who acted like a straight out snob. She was wearing sky-blue tailored robes.
“What do you think you’re doing, dressed like that? That’s horrible, you should really have some sense of fashion. Take me for example, it’s tailor-made and very expensive,” said the snobby girl.
“Yeah, well I really don’t care, now, why don’t you move your expensive little ass out of my way so I can pass,” hissed Haru.
“Hmm.. Yeah I should, but I think I can help you, I could even save you from those horrible drags that you call clothes. And look at your horrible jewelry, dragons? Seriously, who on tier right minds would wear dragons? It should be hearts of something. Oh, my name’s Tiky Osharion by the way,” said Tiky.
“Well Tiky, I really don’t care what you think of my wardrobe. And if you can’t see the resemblance with me wearing dragons, then you should shut up before something drastic happens, specifically to you, now, I have things to do and I don’t want to waste it with eht likes of you, now scram!” said Haru.
“Who do you think you are, talking to me like that?” screamed Tiky, as she made an ice dagger with her hands and smirked evilly at Haru. Haru just stared at the dagger and snorted.
“WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SNORTING AT?” screamed Tiky.
“You,” said Haru as she blew steam at Tiky’s hand and successfully melting the ice dagger, “are very weak, now if you are done embarrassing yourself, I’m leaving.”
The second time she was stopped, was by yet another girl. She was wearing pink knee-length shorts with a loose white shirt. She seemed alright and very shy, so Haru took that to her advantage.
“What the hell do you want? Do you think I want to be stopped by you? Hurry up! I don’t have all day you know,” glared Haru.
“Oh.. Um.. I was wondering… I mean.. if you knew… um, I mean,” stuttered the girl.
“OUT with it,” snapped an irritated Haru.
“I mean, um… if you knew the Ohaku’s, I mean… um… with the dragons and all,” said the nervous girl.
“Why, aren’t you a smart one? Yes, I know them. Why do you want to know?” smirked Haru.
“EEK! I mean it’s nothing, just, you know, curious,”
“Well, whatever, it that’s all?”
“Yeah, um…my name’s Reina Takamoto,” said Reina.
“I don’t care,” said Haru, as she walked away.
The third time she was stopped was by a guy. He was wearing baggy black pants, a very loose shirt, and was very bald. His name was Jamie Zunna and he was tryingto pick her up with a cheesy line. By now, Haru was very irritated, that she just snapped.
“WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE, DO I LOOK LIKE I WANT TO BE APPROACHED? WHY the hell do you insist of talking to me? Leave me the fuck ALONE!!” Haru screamed, and she finished walking towards the garden. By the time she arrived, she was fuming, and everyone else that wanted to approach her, didn’t, afraid that they were going to get hurt. As soon as she saw the scene in the garden, her anger simply vanished and she was filled with a warm feeling that she would have squealed if there weren’t people around. So she opted to just fast-walk, which was more like a jog, to the two cuddling white tigers, with a smile. As she walked towards them, she saw another girl running frantically towards the tigers as well, from the opposite direction.
“Kat,” Haru called.
“Kiya,” the girl said. Both white tigers looked up. Haru grabbed Kat, while the girl grabbed Kiya.
‘Hmm… I wonder if she’s conceited like the other ones? She better not be, not after I saw Kat and Kiya together. Oh well, one way to find out,’ thought Haru.
“Um… Hi, I’m Hikari, Kiya’s owner,” said Hikari
“I’m Haru, Kat’s owner,” said Haru.
