[center][b][color=royalblue][font=Verdana][size=2][i]-[/i]Chishu Hoshi[/size][/font][/color][/b][/center]


[center][font=Verdana][size=2][color=royalblue][i]Chika and Hoshi were both students at Wishing Well High. Hoshi was new to the town, so Chika helped her out whenever she could. They soon became friends, but their friendship quickly became something more...But their love for each other seemed so natural, that they didn't think anyone else would think it wasn't. Chika and Hoshi didn't hide their feelings for each other, until their parents found out. Hoshi's parents were a bit more supportive than Chika's, but both of the girls still got in trouble. After that, they only talked to each other secretly. But one day when they were in the middle of an embrace, Chika's father walked in on them. His hobby was rebuilding swords, and in his rage, he threw one of his swords at his daughter without saying a word. With their last breath, Chika and Hoshi shared a final kiss. Panicking, Chika's father tried to hide all of the evidence of his hasty murder, but he didn't do a very good job of it and was later executed for his crime.[/i][/color][/size][/font][/center]



[font=Verdana][size=2][color=royalblue][i]That was nearly 500 years ago. As small as Japan is, it has taken over the world with its culture. Love still exists now, but it's taken a backseat to things like hover skates, virtual reality, holomovies, and more. By an odd coincidence, on the anniversary of Chika and Hoshi's death, a new game is being released. Its name is Uriana. It's a freeform action VR that's supposed to be the most realistic one ever made. (And by an even stranger coincidence, the headquarters of the creators of this game was built on the land where Chika's and Hoshi's houses once stood.) Its cockpit even takes care of all of the user's physical needs, allowing people to play it for weeks if they wanted to. To celebrate its release, the creators of the game have even set up a special two-part contest. In real life, people have to search for a special video to give them a clue of where to find a certain badge in the game. Whoever finds this special badge and puts it on, will win a character with a level higher than any other player's. (The character that the creators used to test out the game.) But what the company hasn't mentioned, is that the game has been acting a little strange lately. They didn't want to spend the money, time, or trouble to pull the game off the market, so they've just never mentioned it. But why would they kill some of their own employees just to keep a secret? What could they be hiding, and is anyone in danger? Whatever it is, the students of the well known Wishing Well High will soon find out...[/i][/color][/size][/font]

[left][font=Verdana][size=2][color=#4169e1]Hoshi lifted her head from off of her pillow and looked out the window. She wasn't surprised at what she saw. It was raining.[/color][/size][/font][/left]
[left][font=Verdana][size=2][color=#4169e1]"Of course it rains the day Chika isn't going to school." Hoshi mumbled as she got out of bed. She put on her slippers, ate breakfast, and then went back upstairs to shower and get ready for school. Once she got out of the shower, she put her baby panda pajamas, (the ones that looked like a panda costume,) and put them in a laundry basket. She then put on her Wishing Well school uniform, a very plain outfit with an ugly skirt, and grabbed her booksack and umbrella. After saying goodbye to her mom, she walked out the door, opening her umbrella.[/color][/size][/font][/left]

[left][font=Verdana][size=2][color=#4169e1]Since she knew Chika wasn't going to be at school, Hoshi wasn't in her normal playful mood and she avoided all of the rain puddles that she came up to. When she came to the bus stop, she decided to call one of her best friends, Kiri, to kill some time. Hoshi dialed the number, and then hung up when she heard Kiri's familiar ring. She turned around, and saw the wet, but smiling face of her friend.[/color][/size][/font][/left]
[left][color=#4169e1][font=Verdana][size=2][b]"Hi, Kiri. What happened to your umbrella?"[/b] Hoshi asked, raising an eyebrow.[/size][/font][/color][/left]
[left][color=#4169e1][font=Verdana][size=2][b]"I couldn't find it. besides, I love the rain. But, could I share yours for now?"[/b] Kiri asked.[/size][/font][/color][/left]
[left][font=Verdana][size=2][color=#4169e1]Hoshi nodded, and Kiri scooted in close to Hoshi. Then, they both heard the sound of footsteps coming towards them. It was probably another student who was going to wait for the bus as well.[/color][/size][/font][/left]


[left][font=Verdana][size=2][color=#4169e1][b]OOC: Sorry, Rhian. I had to do that. It was just too cute for me to not do it. ^_^ Also, I know i'm starting this off a bit slow, everyone, but that's only because I'm starting this earlier than I planned to, and I won't be back until Monday. Have fun![/b][/color][/size][/font][/left]

[center] [left][size=2][color=DimGray][font=Franklin Gothic Medium]As Tak awoke, his hair a mess, he shuffled over to his bathroom and opened the shower door and turned on the water. As it warmed, he went back to his room and grabbed a CD. As he placed the CD, Breaking Benjamin's [b]We Are Not Alone[/b], in the shower cd player, he just stood there, letting the water fall on top of him. The song "So Cold" was Tak's favorite song, as he felt the song connected to him. [/font][/color][/size][color=DimGray]

[/color] [center][size=2][color=DimGray][font=Franklin Gothic Medium][i]...Show me how it ends...it's alright...Show me how defenseless you really are...

[/i][/font][/color][/size] [left][font=Franklin Gothic Medium][color=DimGray]He began to think back to the time he and Hiroko were together. It was hard to reminice(sp?) about her...she did shatter his heart, after all. He thought of the times they sat under that large oak at the park and stared at the stars, the times they sat up until the sunrise talking to eachother over the phone...

That was Tak's past. Now he lays alone at night. He no longer knows the meaning of feeling of love. Hiroko took that from him, and he hasn't been the same since. But now, his eyes are secretly set on a friend of his, Ryuu. Tak doens't know how to interpret these feelings he had for her...but he decided to keep them to himself.

[FONT=Book Antiqua][SIZE=2][COLOR=SeaGreen]OOC: Bwahaha. My sign up was so sh*t -.-


IC: Kana looked down at the droplets of water hitting the ground around his feet. He was soaked by the rain, but barely noticed. Kana signed as he neared the busstop, where two girls were already waiting for the bus, huddled under an umbrella. Kana stopped walking when he reached them, though he was behind them, further away from the road, where the side walk connected with a yard. Kana looked at one of the girls, with a blank stare. [I]Heh. She's kinda cute...[/I] was the first thing that came into his mind. Hoshi caught eyes with him, but Kana didn't look away right away, as most people do. He looked at her directly for a few seconds then looked down to his feet. Kana knew both the girls were looking at him now and felt uncomfortable. He forgot that it was pouring rain and sat down on the side walk, his legs crossed, and his head down. He pulled his brown, soaked hair straight over his eyes and drained the water from it, then pulled all his hair forwards, then flipped his head back, flipping his hair back as well, and sending water a foot away. "I should have drove to school today....." he murmured to himself, in a deep, strong, yet quiet voice.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[Bullet Theory]

[font=Franklin Gothic Medium]As Tak walked out of his house and toward his car, he saw a few people by the bus stop in the rain. He entered his car and drove to the stop, rolling down the passenger side window.

"You guys need a lift to school?" Tak asked.

The two girls accepted right away and hopped in the back seat, while the other guy simply sat there staring at his feet.

"You okay man?" Tak inquired, but there was still no response. "Alright then." Tak then drove to Wishing Well High. "So, what's your names? I'm Tak."

"Mine's Hoshi" one replied.

"And I'm Kiri." said the other.

"Nice to meet you. So, ya gotta love the rain, don't ya." Tak said sarcastically. "I'll put on the radio." He turned it to a rock station and the three headed to the school.

[FONT=Book Antiqua][SIZE=2][COLOR=SeaGreen]Kana sighed and stood up. He put his hands in his pockets and walked back to his home to grab his ride to school. He opened his garage door and turned the light on. The light was illuminating an old, but well kept Harley Davidson motorcycle. "Heh...still perfect." Kana said to himself, grabbing his helmet off the table on the far side of the garage. A german shepard in the corner of the garage looked up from it's nap when it heard Kana's voice, then put it's head back down when it realized he wasn't there to take it out. Kana smirked at the dog then put his helmet on, and hopped on his bike. He started it up and took off down the road, the garage automatically closing. Kana arived at school less than 30 minutes later, and almost 10 minutes early. He parked his bike and put the helmet underneath it, placing the keys back in his back pocket. Kana shoved his hands in his pockets after grabing his book bag off the back of his bike and walked into the school slowly.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[O-Ushi]

[COLOR=DarkSlateGray][SIZE=1]Rain tapped down gently on the roof of the umbrella like the gentle fingers of a thouand angels. Drops cascaded down the sides of the concave before falling silently to the ground, unnoticed. Patterns unimaginable, plainly beautiful, unseen, gurgle by in the gutter, as water flows past the debris of leaves and dirt, twisting and contorting around the shapes as it merges and blends into itself.

[[B][I]I'm gonna buy this place and burn it down[/I][/B]]

Genosuke lifted his eyes from the gutter, and took another drag on his cigarette. His feet made no sound as he wandered down the wet pavement. A car sped by then - later - a bike, carrying their occupants to the Wishing Well Highschool, Genosuke's destination. He srugged the fake fur lining of his coat further up around his neck, trying to keep warm on this brisk, wet morning.

[[B][I]I'm gonna put it six feet underground[/I][/B]]

[I]Tp. Tp. Tp.[/I]

Footsteps quickly made their way up behind him. He turned around and scannd the figure with soft, grey eyes. A girl, probably around his age (not that it mattered), was quickly making her way to the school, shoulders hunched against the rain. He stopped, and she started to walk past him, as if he wasn't even there. Noone noticed him much anymore. He reached out and gently grabbed her shoulder. She turned with a start,

[I]Don't say anything, don't say anything...[/I] he tinks, simply passing her his umbrella. The rain hit his bare head, cooling hs mind and plastering his hair to his skull. Droplets ran down his face, his eyes downcast.

[[B][I]I'm gonna buy this place and watch it burn[/I][/B]]

Letting go of her shoulder and his umbrella, Genosuke launched himself down the road, pulling the fur lining of his coat right up to protect his face. He spat the cigarette out of the side of his mouth. It fell and landed, unnoticed, on the wet pavement. An inaudible hiss, the dying glow of the embers, all that marks the passing of the flame.

[[B][I]And do all it did to you in return[/I][/B]][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[Ezekiel]

[SIZE=1][B]OOC I am assuming, possibly incorrectly, that the girl was my character since I believe I'm the only one who has green eyes. If not...then...erm...sorry O_o;; PM me and I'll change it.
----[/B]
[COLOR=Green]Imi looked to her hand now clutching to the umbrella handle. She blinked and rubbed some rain from her damp face before calling after the boy. But he was long gone, she sighed and carried on walking to school, not really caring if she was late. As she walked down the pavement leading up to school she heard the rush of tires on the road, she turned just in time to see a modified Ford come speeding through a puddle, splashing it's muddy content onto Imi's already drenched uniform. She screamed and dropped the umbrella, hearing the cackles of whomever was in the car. A hot tear ran down the red heads cheeks but she wiped it off, ignoring the pain in her throat.

After a few more minutes, Imi was in school, her uniform was muddy and she was drenched form head to toe and first lesson hadn't even begun. At least she wasn't the only one who was wet, the thought gave her slight reassurance. That was until the janitor spotted her.

[B]"Oy!! You, dirty!" [/B] the old man hobbled over to her through the crowd of giggling students, his one good eye bulging out and staring at a now frightened Imi.
[B]"You be getting mud all on my clean floors, take off those shoes and come back to clean this later!"[/B] he yelled, causing Imi to step back.

[B]"But...I...it wasn't..."[/B] she pleaded, but to no avail. The janitor bopped her on the head with his broom handle and went off to issue a complaint with her teacher. Imi bit her bottom lip and slipped off her shoes, glancing up into the crown. Then she saw him...Ranma.... and he was laughing. Laughing with the rest of them.[/COLOR]

[B]OOC I feel kinda sorry for her, but hey, story of my life ^^;[/B][/SIZE]

[Talon]

[color=teal][i]Ranma laughed politely at a lame joke one of his so-called "peers" had just told about the soaking wet girl in the hall, and then dismissed himself rather quickly, shaking his head.[/i] "God, why do they laugh at that nasal, unwitty freak's jokes? The things people do for status...I'm quitting this bullshit and hanging out with the goddamned martial arts club. Or maybe make one of my own....for Kiri...."

[i]Ranma strode down the hall, flashing a smile at some faces he recognized. He smiled at a girl he knew was named Hoshi, and another at the sweet, though rather wet, Imi, the subject of the jokes. Ranma ignored the near faint Imi suffered and walked forward, finding his friend Kana, also soaked.[/i] "Ah, hell, man, and you look like itl. Didn't ya drive today?"

"Stuff it, Kurenai."

[i]Ranma chuckled and slapped his wet friend on the back, heading for the janitor's broom closet resolutely. Grabbing a couple of mops and buckets, he headed for the mess, and for Imi.

Imi looked up and gasped, shaking her head slowly as Ranma handed her a mop. She watched as he placed the buckets on the floor and reached into his backpack.[/i]

"Here, let me give you a hand with the cleaning. Here's a towel for you, always carry one on a rainy day in case I get wet." [i]Ranam smiled and handed her the towel, then pointed towards the buckets, mopping the floor skillfully, turning it into a kata.

Nobody wanted to joke anymore. Nobody joked about anybody Ranma took under his wing. Ever.[/i][/color]

[ArunueShekamari]

[COLOR=SeaGreen][SIZE=2][FONT=Book Antiqua]Kana sighed and took off his over coat. Water lined the floor now, fromhis coat and other people as well. He folded the coat up and placed it in his bag. He was acctually pretty dry, except for his hair, which droplets of water still lingered on.
Kana headed for his first class, kicking Ranma in the calf as he passed him. "Ah! Damnitt, stop being so silly and help me clean up a little, will ya?" Ranma asked. Kana stopped for a moment and looked at him, half considering helping, then looked at the girl. Kana grabbed a towel wordlessly and walked over to Imi.
"Ah! no...um.." she started to say in protest to the two men trying to help. "Shut up." Kana said bluntly, grabbing a bit of her hair gently and dabbing it with the towel. Imi looked at him with wide eyes for a moment as he continued to dry her off. Kana grabbed her hand and ran the towel down her arm. "Don't you touch me!" Imi yelled jerking her hand away. Kana looked at her for a moment. Then he looked down at the floor, dropped the towel on the floor beside Ranma's feet and procceded into class.
"Well, atleast we've got one student who's smart enough to not get too soaked," replied the teacher when he walked in the room. Kana didn't reply and took his seat.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

Neko walks quietly down the street her shoulder slumped in the long black trench coat. She watched the ground as she walked the only sound she hears is the sound of the hard soled combat boots on the pavement. She siaghes, her breath fogging infront of her and joggs across the street. Her school looomed infront of her depresingly. She looks up at the second floor* and smiles a bit, "Good day to hole up in the libary." she mutters to her self. Her Foster family's daughter looks at her from the front steps, Neko ignors her and walks quickly to the second floor stoping only to look at the Harely in the parking lot. That's what I need. she thought as she rummaged through her locker. Several people bumped into her and she sttod their frozen. Her thoughts turn back to when she was 11 and she shivers, only her foster parents knew what had happened and she didn't want any one else to know. Pushing the thoughts back into the cornor of her brain she runs to the libary and sits at a table in a corner, spreading her art suplies infront of her she turns the volume up on her portable Cd player. Linkin Park blared in her ears blocking out the world she starts the out line of her mother's portrait. Neko frowns as a shadow falls over the portrait. "You should be in class.' Neko looks up at the teaches and stands, bows and stats to gathers her suplies. "No, leave this here. You can finish it later." Suprised Neko bows again and hurries to her class. Many people are there already so she quietly slips into her seat while the others are busy mocking another student.

* If not multi storied will change

[Talon]

[color=teal][i]Ranma's deep, sexy bass laugh filled the classroom as he picked up his towel and again slapped Kana on the back, Imi completely dry and the mess cleaned. Imi hurriedly bowed and entered class, on time, and squeaked right into her desk, blushing furiously. Ranma again chuckled and sat in his desk, amidst glares and appraising looks.

Ranma exited the lesson tired, bored, and informed of nothing new. He'd known about the new game release and the upcoming contest, and, in fact, had known for a month. It was only a matter of time before he had one more victory to honor his mother's memory with. Ranma clenched his fist and headed for the lunchroom. It was, after all, one of his free periods.

Ranma hated being as old as he was. It seperated him from the rest of his classmates, the majority of possible friends. It was all so damned frustrating. Ranma turned, deciding he wanted a nice kata instead of his usual second breakfast. The heavy rain was lightening into a decent drizzle, and Ranma never could resist the pull of a gentle rain to lighten his spirits. Though on days when his mother's ghost haunted him so freshly, there was no such thing as peace.

Ranma's kata began.[/i][/color]

"Ditching again?" Yuki turned to see one of the Hall Monitors, tapping her foot impatiently with clipboard in hand. "No, actually," Yuki smiled, pulling out a hall pass, "I'm on a trip to the bathroom." "I'll bet that's fake," she insisted. "Why would [i]I[/i] have a fake hall pass? I'd never be caught dead with one. I ditch, and I don't make up excusses."

"Fine. Go on," the hall monitor muttered, storming by. Yuki paused for a moment before continuing on her way.

Returning to her classroom several minutes later, Yuki returned the pass to her teacher and took her seat. "Did you get caught?" a boy behind her whispered. "No." And she handed him a pack of cigarettes she had bought for him from some girls in the bathrooms.

"Thanks," he muttered, shoving them in his pocket. "That stuff's bad for you, you know," Yuki told him. "Like I care," he laughed quietly. "Suit yourself," she muttered, pulling out a book from her bag. She began reading, not paying attention to anything else in the class for almost the entire period.

[ArunueShekamari]

[font=Book Antiqua][size=1][color=seagreen]Kana sat in class after everyone else had left for lunch. "Kana?" the teacher asked, "Is something wrong?" Kana paused for a second then looked at her. "No, ma'am," he said, getting up and walking out of the room. He walked down towrds the library. Kana sighed and leaned in the doorway of the library. "I should have known..." he muttered to himself, seeing the library packed, "Damnitt....." Kana turned around and walked down the hall. "This is shit..." he said, leaning up against the wall and sliding down, sitting with his knees up to his chin. He placed his bag beside him and leaned his forehead up against his knees. "Exuse me?" a girls voice asked. Kana didn't recognize it, so he didn't lift his head. [i]Leave me alone.....[/i] he thought. "Um....excuse me?" she asked again. Kana sighed, picked up his bag, and stood up. He walked away without looking at the girl. "Bitch..." he muttered. Kana felt a hand grab his shoulder and pull him around and he was face to face with Hoshi. "I heard.....that..." she began to yell, but stopped herself when Kana's expression didn't change and he just stared at her, with a blank emotionless expression. "...um..." she said, letting go of him. He continued to stare directlyinto her eyes. Kana could tell it made her uncomfortable. She took a step back. Kana turned around slowly and walked off.

Neko almost breaks down when she sees the libary, "My..my portrait." she says almost a whisper and turns away from the libary. She walks down the hall passing through groups of people ignoring every one. "Bitch.." she hears "I heard..that.." she hears the reply. She ignors them and bumps into Kana, looking up at him her eyes widen and she mumers a silent appology. Her heart races when her looks at her angerly. "Sorry," she says louder and runs off down the hall trying to get away from every one. She stops on the first floor and leans agenst the wall panting. She closes her eyes agenst the overpowering urge to run away again. No, she thinks. Quickly she gose to the lunch room and sits in a cornor, not very many people really ate the cafeteria food so very few people were present. Neko looks around at the people and sighes, she pulls a drawing pad out of her backpack and sketehes one of the cats on the farm. "You are a good drawer." a deep bass says she looks up and smiles weakly.

[Sir Gawain]

Ichiro HATED the rain. It wasn't so much the water as the cold. But then again, rain was never hot. He shook his head.
'I think too much about this crap.' he told himself.
Most kids would be in school by now, and especially him, and he would have. If it hadn't been for the Etsuko Sisters. The little brats had figured out what kind of screwdriver worked on his alarm clock.

Now, here he was, doing his least favorite thing, running through the rain with his dog.
"If I ever get a chance, those two are gonna be dead!" he tells Harley, his little puppy. His parents were big motorcyclists.
Just as he entered Wishing Well's doors, a teacher grabbed him by the neck.
"Well well well," she said, "You're not the first student I've caught today. Let's hear you're story."
Ichiro squinted his eyes and prepared himself to do something he didn't want to.

[ArunueShekamari]

[font=Book Antiqua][size=1][color=seagreen]Kana sighed. Too many people were pissing him off today. He glanced at his watch. Still 45 minutes left of his lunch hour. He headed down for the cafeteria, hoping to find Ranma. Sure enough, there he was, chatting with a girl. "Hey, Kana!" Ranma said, when he noticed him. Kana sat down wordlessly next to Ranma and across from the girl he was talking to. "Who's this?" he asked, in his deep voice, which he didn't use often. Ranma smiled. "I'm not sure, haven't asked her name yet," Ranma said, smiling at the girl now. "Um....Neko," she said. "I'm Ranma," he replied. Kana sneered and layed his head down on the table. His hair was dry by now and he felt much better than having his head wet and heavy. "He's Kana. Don't mind him," Ranma said, "He's a little...eh...." Kana scowled at Ranma. Ranma chuckled lightly. "Yeah, yeah..." he said, turning back to Neko.[/color][/size][/font]

[Talon]

[color=teal][i]Ranma bowed to Neko, smiling broadly, and ruffled her heaid lightly. He turned to Kana, who merely shrugged in the general direction of the food line. Ranma shook his head, indicating that he'd already eaten and was not realy in the mood for much else. Kana shrugged againg and headed for the lines, Ranma bailing out of the lunch room. Much to his surprise, he met Imi on the way out. She looked up and, if Ranma heard right, squeaked.[/i]

"He...hello."

[i]Ranma did a double take. He could FEEL this girl's blush, He smirked and shook his head before cupping her chin, tilitng her eyes upwards to meet his.[/i] "Hey there, Squeaky. I don't believe I got your name earlier. C'mon, I got some extra lunch with me, why don't we go out and have a little chat?"

[i]It was to Imi's credit that she managed not to swoon as Ranma placed a hand on her shoulder, steering her to an empty classroom he was fond of lunching in.[/i][/color]

[Kitty]

[color=blue][size=1]On her way out of the cafeteria, lunch in hand, Yuki noticed a boy being scolded by one of teachers. "Poor guy," she muttered. Then she realized who it was.

"Ichiro.." she muttered fly from her lips. She hadn't wanted to say it, but she couldn't keep it quiet. "What's wrong?" she heard someone ask her. Yuki spun around to see Kimo, the boy she had given cigarrettes to earlier. "W-what?! N-nothing!" she stuttered, running into the girls bathroom.

"What's up with her..?" he muttered, walking back into the cafeteria.

Peeking her head out to check if the coast was clear, Yuki reentered the hallway a few minutes later, after calming herself down. Returning to the cafeteria, Yuki sat back down at her friends' table. "Thought you were going to go eat outside. Said this place was too noisy for you," she heard one girl tease. Kimo looked at her, but didn't say anything. "It [i]is[/i] too noisy in here. But it was... too boring outside. You know, you guys do make the party," she laughed.

The others laughed, too, then resumed eating and talking with eachother. But Yuki and Kimo stayed silent. Yuki picked quietly at her lunch, noticing that some of it must have expired over a month ago. "How do they serve this junk?" she thought aloud. "I know!" she heard Maki squeal. Then the group began discussing cafeteria food.

"Hey, Yuki? Can I talk to you?" he asked, standing up. "Sure," she muttered. The others all let out little "oo's" and "aww's", then started laughing as the two of them entered the hallway.

"Why were you so spooked earlier?" "Um.." She looked away. "Com'mon! Tell me!" "Look, you don't have to worry about me, okay?" "I know.. But I can't help it. Being you're.. you know." "Ex? I'd have thought you'd [i]like[/i] to see me spooked," Yuki chuckled. They were silent.

"Stop worrying, okay?" Yuki insisted, shoving him back into the cafeteria. He smiled, then walked back to the table. Before following, she looked around the hallway. She saw Ichiro still talking to the teacher, then rushed back inside, hoping he didn't see her.

[ArunueShekamari]

[font=Book Antiqua][size=1][color=seagreen][b]Kana sighed and exited the cafiteria. They had no food that wouldn't sent you to the bathroom for atleast a half an hour, and he didn't know why he kept checking. [i]Guess I'm alone today[/i], Kana thought. [i]Ranma's too busy with his bitches. I need to talk to him after school, I'll have to pull him aside as soon as last lesson ends or he'll get too caught up with his women, the little perv. Why do I put up with him? Damnitt, I need a smoke or something. Damnitt Ranma, where the fuck did you go anyway, you little ass? [/i]Kana looked around as he walked down the hall. [i]Damnitt, why are you so hard to find, you sunuvabitch? Just gunna let me wander all hour, huh? Meh. I would tell you to your face if I could find you. Damnit! Mn, I'm frustrating myself. Aw, fuck it, I have no reason to be here. I'll pick up Ranma after school, give him a ride home or something. [/i]Kana pulled his over coat out of his bag and pulled it on. He walked down the hall and out the front door. One of the hall monitors considered stopping him, but then re-considered, not wanting to get in his way.[/b][/color][/size][/font]

[COLOR=Green][SIZE=1]Imi could feel her knees starting to shake but she tried desperately to keep her composure. This was Ranma...the actual Ranma. She couldn't believe what was happening to her, he was touching her.
[I]'No! If you think about that your mind will start to wonder and who knows what will happen?![/I]' Imi's conscience was practically screaming at her. She knew that she had to keep calm and after taking an extremely deep breath, managed to calm her nerves in the slightest. She could hear Ranma's slight chuckle as he reached over her shoulder to open the classroom door. He bowed his head and Imi nodded her thanks, walking into the room quickly and blushing as Ranma shut the door behind him.

[B]"You....you don't have to, you know..." [/B] she stuttered, trailing off at the end of her sentence and slipping into her usual nervous whisper.
"Do what?" the boy shrugged and smiled, [B]"I just want to chat, and besides, Squeaky is hardly a flattering nickname."[/B] he winked and flashed Imi a grin, causing her to sit down rather quickly for fear of passing out.

[B]"M...my name's Imi, Ranma-sama..."[/B] Imi bowed her head and smiled nervously, if not cutely.
Ranma smiled and pulled up a chair, spinning it to sit with his legs open against the back, leaning his arms on the top of the chair.
[B]"Darn, you're adorable."[/B]

Imi, this time, fell off her chair.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[size=1][font=veranda][color=indigo]OOC: So sorry!

IC: Kiri walked through the hallway, from her first class, to the lunch room. She spotted Ranma, and Imi, through a classroom door.

?[b]Hi, Ranma, Imi![/b]? Imi seemed grateful not to be alone with the hunk any more. Ranma seemed slightly surprised, and Kiri could see a blush rising on [I]his[/I] face. ?[b]Mind if I join you for lunch?[/b]?

Ranma forced a smiled, and replied, ?[b]Of course not.[/b]? Kiri sat down next to Imi. She watched as Ranma spread out his food, and then she spread out her own.

?[b]I?ll give you a rice bun for three of your pocky sticks.[/b]?

Ranma agreed, and they traded. He seemed surprised as he bit into the bun. ?[b]This is good. It has a different taste than regular buns.[/b]? Kiri flushed at the praise. ?[b]I made them. I add something to it; but I?m not telling.[/b]? She grinned teasingly.[/size][/font][/color]

[O-Ushi]

[COLOR=DarkSlateGray][SIZE=1]"Carry the two...no, that's not right..." Genosuke whispered, running a hand through his hair and chewing softly on the end of his pencil.

Behind him, a clock gently counted down the minutes.

"I want to take the uncertain number and....yessss.....no. Damn." He flicked the pencil around his thumb, catching it neatly with his index and middle finger, and tapped an irregular beat on the old, wooden table. Everybody else was having lunch. He didn't bother eating in school anymore; he didn't get hungry that quickly, anyway. Trying to solve whatever egnimatic homework he had been assigned took up his lunch times. He briefly wondered what it was like, eating lunch with his friends, talking with each other, laughing at each other's jokes...

Didn't matter, anyway. He wasn't that funny. People wouldn't laugh.

He could hear voices in the next classroom. A girl and a guy. the boy had a deep voice, rich and mellow...he recognised the voice...Ranma something-or-other. One of those incredible popular people that girls swoon over. Genosuke placed the eraser end of the pencil in his mouth and perched the writing implement between his lips. He folded his arms across his chest and scowled gently.

"If x equals 7 when y is geater than 3 and smaller than..."

His grimace sunsided, and fell into his familiar expression; one of tired resignation. He couldn't do this stuff. Hell, he couldn;t do anything, really. He leaned back in his chair and stared at the cieling, trying to discern some sort of epiphany from the time-stained tiles.

"[I]Who's that?[/I]" a voice whispered. Male, female, it didn't matter.

"[I]Gen-something. He's in your brother's year.[/I]"

Genosuke had heard this conversation a thousand times before, from various people in various years. He didn;t bother reacting anymore.

"[I]I've never seen him before.[/I]"

"[I]He's a loner, I think.[/I]"

Of course he was.

Footsteps walked briskly away, unseen. Suprisingly, some other steps made their way towards him. Unsuprisingly, they brushed right past his room and into the room of Ranma something-or-other.

[I]Damn it. maybe something will come to me, later.[/I]

He sighed and spatthe pencil from his mouth. It landed with a gentle tap of his open book. He closed the text book and the exercise book, gathering them up under his arm. He got up and walked out of the classroom, sweeping past the open door of the next room. He chanced a look inside, and saw Ranma something-or-other being fawned over by two girls. One of the girls he had given his umbrella to that very morning. He had plenty more umbrellas.He sighed as he went out of site of the class, shoing his free hand into his pocket.

[[B][I]He's a real nowhere man,
Sitting in his nowehere land,
Making all his nowehere plans
For nobody.[/I][/B]][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=blue]Her lunch partner being gone for the day, Hoshi had decided to sit with Ranma and Kiri. Ranma was one of the most handsome boys in Wishing Well high, but Hoshi didn't really care. After saying hi to everyone, and introducing herself to Imi, Hoshi sat down by Kiri. She was too busy though, watching Ranma and imi talk to notice that Kiri started blushing a little bit.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=blue][b]"So, Ranma. Are you and Imi together?"[/b] Hoshi teased Ranma, and Imi started blushing.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=blue]Before Ranma answered Hoshi's question, the bell rang. It was time for P.E. One of the subjects Hoshi actually looked forward to, depending on what they were playing. Besides, it was better than math.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=blue][/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=blue]In the locker room, as Hoshi was about to change into her gym uniform, she overheard two girls talking about how they saw Chika at school.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=blue][b]"Do you know where she is?"[/b] Hoshi asked, interrupting their conversation.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=blue]One girl shrugged her shoulders but the other said she saw her by the showers in the locker room. Hoshi thanked them and walked away. Normally she stayed away from Chika while they were in the locker room, just so no one would tease them, but this time, she wanted to see her and ask her something. Chika was a little distant lately, and she wanted to know why. Hoshi soon made her way to the showers, where the girls who played the first P.E. were getting ready to go back to class.[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=blue][b]OOC: Alright everyone. Just to let you know, today will be a normal school day, but then we'll get our games when we get out of school. The game is very expensive, so most of us have probably won it in some sort of contest.[/b] [b]I might put up an underground thread, just to let you know what's going on.[/b][/color][/size][/font]

[Revelation]

[size=1][color=#696969][B][I]"How can I tell her how I feel? I'm not even certain of anything anymore."[/B][/I]

With a sigh, Chika hung her head as the water rushed down onto her head. She turned the water off and shook her head slightly. Reaching for a towel, something was handed to her and when Chika looked up it was Hoshi, standing in front of her with a beaming smile. Chika gave her a slight smile before wrapping herself in the towel.

[B]"Chika, I think we need to talk."[/B] Hoshi had a tone of urgency and concern. Something was not right to her and Chika knew what it was. [B]"Chika? Can we talk?"

"Sure, why not? Let me get ready and we'll go talk."[/B]

Nodding, Hoshi sat down on a bench and waited for Chika to get ready, who finished dressing quicker than any other girl that was in the room. She brushed her hair and tied her hair into a hanging ponytail, just like any other day. The two walked out to their usual spot underneath the sakura blossom tree. Hoshi looked into Chika's eyes, but they were even more distant.[/size][/color]

[font=Book Antiqua][size=1][color=seagreen][b]Kana flopped down on his couch. So comfortable. His beautiful companion, Jake, a female german shepard curled up on the couch beside him, Kana was calm and collected. The doorbell rang and Kana almost cursed. He got up and stood beside the door, waiting for whoever was at the door to ring the doorbell again. They didn't. "Probably the mail..." he said to himself. Kana opened the door. Sure enough, it had been the mail. A package was there too. Kana picked up the mail and set it on the counter as he walked back to his couch, but took the package back to his seat. He examened the adress. "Great, mother's spending money on me again," he said, distastefully. There was a note on the bottom, written in permanent marker. [i]"Kana! I bought you a video game! I know you love these kinds of things! Be social! I love you!"[/i] "'I know you love these kinds of things'? Yeah right. Bitch. She's got to realize she's just wasting money, Goddamnit, she's gunna drive her little rich ass poor someday. Buying me all this shit." By now, the pakage was flung onto the recliner. Kana sighed and layed back, looking around the living room. He had tons of luxuries. His parents were rich bastards, and pampered him constantly. He hated it. "Damn bitches," he repeated. Jake jumped on his lap and licked his face. "Mm, you're such a sweety," he said on a different tone and closed his eyes, trying to sleep for the rest of the days with his dog curled up in his lap. "I wish I had a girl that understood me as much as you to, kiddo," he said, rubbing his dogs head.[/b][/color][/size][/font]
