Liuva Cradled the small puppy in her warm arms. "Aw i wonder who'd ever abandon you?" She sat the puppy down and fixed her bow "I'll see you all when i get home" Liuva skipped happily as she waved goodbye to her secret base filled with small animals. as she walked around to the front of her house she noticed something she'd never noticed before. there was something that looked like a human arm hanging out of a bush. She slowly walked over to it and gasped. birds flew away as she screamed. There happened to be a body inside the bush and it was decaying covered in maggots. She ran so fast all the way to school and hid inside her classroom.

----

Fuji was early to school because he'd had another sleepless night just like always. she sat on top the teachers desk with his knees against his chest. he almost fell off as Liuva came screaming into the classroom and then curled up into the fetal position. Fuji figured he'd better leave her alone and instead walked to the bathroom. he looked in the mirror and began applying make-up underneath his eyes, to cover up his bags from no sleep. when he got do he took a quick pee and returned to the classroom, by now Liuva was sitting in her seat quietly. So Fuji decided to do the same.

When Edek awoke with dreams from the Devil after only an hour of needless sleep he decided he would not be able to act any more human then he was today. Edek spent hours typing a new novel, writing more poetry in his leather bound poetry book, and reading 'Bulfinch'. His sister was sent back to earth as a Succubus after death and she could not resist now the improper ways of her being. All night she devoted her life to getting what she was sent to earth for, stealing men's souls. You see after one has pre-marital sex, you must either repent or go to hell. The Devil has sent her to gather souls for him.
When Edek arrived at school and parked in his given space, he went strait to class making only a short detour to his locker for a calculator. When he entered the classroom and set his things down beside his seat, Edek looked toward Liuva and nodded at Fuji sitting down at a desk. Edek was completely focused on Liuva. Seeing that she was distraught he turned on his heels and strode over to her, kneeling beside the desk and he asked her, "What is wrong, Liuva?" He spoke tenderly and was truly concerned. "What has happened? Are you alright?" Slowly and carefully as if he were picking up a fragile vase that he wished to buy, Edek cradled her head in his hands and looked into her eyes. "My darling?" He prodded sweeping her golden hair behind her ear and out of her face.

Kouichi got up slowly from his bed, making sure to turn off the alarm clock, which had been signaling the time at which he should wake up each morning. He made his bed before walking into his bathroom and looking in his mirror as he brushed his teeth. His reflection stared back at him, bored and straight-faced. He looked a bit pale, but far from as sick as he could be. He splashed a bit of water on his face and got dressed before grabbing a couple of things and heading out his door.

As he walked to school, he made sure to avoid any path that would take him anywhere near a hospital. Memories of such a place were far from welcomed. Instead, he took a longer path, and upon his arrival at the school promptly went to class. However, instead of going in, he leaned against the wall outside the classroom. "I wonder... if she'll be here today..." He mumbled, more to himself than anything. He could hear the sound of voices inside the classroom, but none were the one he was searching for.

Allia woke up slowly but was very quickly shocked wide awake by a sudden blast of pain as her eye lids opened to still dull light of the morning sun. She stumbled off her little window seat in her room and crashed to the floor holding her eye lid closed. Allia quickly reached for her small eye patch and strapped it on sighing. This was actually a very common experience for her, she had fallen asleep late the night before while reading her book on her small seat. Really it was just an over sized alcove for the window that she transformed into a cushioned reading area but it had turned into her usual bed.

Allia walked towards her closet and gathered up her toothbrush and toothpaste before heading towards the bathroom she shared with three other children at the old orphanage. It was mostly her's in the morning though because the orphanage had been forced to take out the mirror in the bathroom after she had broken the last three they put in there. She still had cuts on her hand from when she had actually punched the last one until the mirror lay in pieces and her hands were a bloody wreck.

After a short shower Allia brushed her teeth and combed her hair out before placing it in her standard pony tail and walking downstairs for breakfast. She was one of the last ones down in the room and the other kids had already devoured most of the meal, but Allia managed to grab the last piece of toast and an apple before walking out the door and two school. Her mind was usually pretty silent in the mornings but a small thought about Nowaki drifted into the back of it. He had skipped the last three days of school again and though he was a few grades higher then her, she was good at spotting him.. that and she always had lunch with him. They didn't speak usually and didn't even regard each other sometimes but he was pretty much all she had in this world, as poor of friends they were at times. It would be nice to see him again she thought.

One.

Walking into the main entrance of the school, Nowaki didn't even have to completely look up to find his way to the classroom. People seemed to precariously move aside for him, and in fact, get out of there way to avoid him. Not that it was a bad thing, because it was fantastic, actually. Looking down on all these.. humans, which was really the best way to put it. Humans. It was a word looked down on upon his family. Naturally, he looked down upon them too. Who were they anyway? An eggshell in a world of desperate and grasping hands. That's what they were.

Two.

Then there was that girl. Yes, he called Allia that girl. For reasons no one could possibly comprehend, and would be incoherent if he told anyone why. Which he wouldn't, because thats not what Nowaki Hamata does. Nowaki Hamata was a boy of short things and sour words. He was a permanent boy in a temporary world. Too far out to even come close to reality. Which was, in fact, banging on his locked door with an iron fist. He had the key though, and he wasn't giving it. Over his dead body.

Three.

"Hello Nowaki." The teacher greeted him as he stepped into the classroom.

He looked up, his eyes automatically dancing, "Hi Miss Tenada," He replied back, and smiled his award winning smile.

Aika looked in the mirror at her reflection. She didn’t like herself, was it that face or hers or just her lack of talent. No, it had to be that she was just a demon in human form. She splashed her face with water. She didn’t like the fact that she didn’t age, either. It felt as looking at someone else but it was just her. The girl closed her eyes for a bit, before reopening them. She touched her skin it had a chalky texture. The girl soon exited the bathroom, still staring at herself then her teeth that were just brushed.

She ate some toast, with nothing more. There was no need for her to eat but it would be better to eat and have some food. Though, this was only used to show how human she is. “What’s wrong, Aika,” Mrs. Washio asked to her with concerned eyes. She just shook her head, with a tiny smile. Her smile was not visible. Just, a smile from her heart that humans could never see.

The girl finished her food, bowing down to her mother or to say adopter. “Good morning,” she muttered in a quiet voice under her breath. The girl took her bag, walking to school which wasn’t far. She heard Mrs. Washio yell out from the door with a smile as big as ever, “Have a good school day, Aika!!!” She looked back, waving her pale hand. Aika continued crossing the streets, seeing some cutting school. If she had the guts, she would give a lecture but she was just a stupid girl who was abandoned by her parents who were genius. She would remember the sight of some poor children on the streets of Italy, so thin. People here were lucky to have things they wanted but still they lusted for more.

The girl entered the school building with her two legs. She was now looking to the ground staring at the floor, with ghost eyes. Her eyes showed no feeling, at all. She stopped knowing, that it was her class. Her head rose, with slight movement. She saw a boy, Kouichi from what she heard and guess. The boy was pale but not to pale like some immortals but she knew this boy was human. Aika noticed herself staring at him with her eyes, which contained no feelings. She soon walked in slowly, going to the back seat near the window.

Kouichi couldn't help but stare at the girl, Aika, as she walked by and into the classroom. His heart began to beat wildly and he felt light-headed. He placed a hand on his forehead gently, a nervous look in his eyes. What's wrong with me...? Why does that happen whenever I see her...? He shook his head, trying to clear away his thoughts. Pushing off of the wall, he walked to the nearest bathroom and leaned against the sink. "...Class is going to start soon..." He muttered to himself after a short time, and turned on the sink. He filled his hands with a small amount of water and gently splashed it on his face. The cool sensation was very relaxing, and he felt a lot better now.

After which, he made his way back to class. Upon entering, he immediately walked to his desk and sat down. He could hear some of the students talking with one another, but he tried to block this out, as he sat quietly with his eyes closed in thought.

Allia for a split second could have sworn she saw Nowaki entering the school ahead of her, but being that she had actually been thinking about him and that she had only saw him for a second she shook her head. "Danmit Allia, now you have yourself seeing things"Allia scolded as she walked into the building. Unlike most at the crowded school, Allia seemed to have no trouble getting anywhere in the school, though she hated it. The crowds seem to always part around her, but thats what being quiet and covered in visible scars and an eye patch gets you. No one.

Perhaps that's what drew her to Nowaki, both of them seemed alone, two negatives make a positive she thought as she sat down in her desk. Class was sure to start soon but Allia just put her head down. Her first class of the day was literature, a useless class in which she continued to outsmart the teacher at times. Perhaps that's why Mr. Ashlin didn't like her, she was smarter then him. The bell rang but Allia didn't hear it, she was drifting off to sleep again, they were only talking about some short story she had long since read, nothing important.
