2 Who’s The
New Kid?
Kai and Vick are running through
busy streets.
“Were late again,” Vick yelled,
“Come on Kai, your getting slow!”
“Karampi yami Wanak xaraki!” a
voice yelled in Kai’s head.
“I’m coming,” Kai yelled as he
shook his head.
They reached the high school,
Silver Bay[1]High. The bell just
rang as they entered the premises.
“Miss[2]Flora is going to
kill us,” Vick said as he ran the building.
Kai followed and, without looking,
crashed onto the custodian. Kai got up and helped the custodian
up.
“I am so sorry,” Kai apologized.
“It’s alright,” the custodian said
with a smile.
Kai walked away, but turned around
to the custodian smiling and looking at him with black eyes. Kai turned around
to find Miss Flora staring angrily at him.
“Why are you late…again Kai?!” she
yelled.
“A thousand pardons Miss Flora,”
Kai apologized.
“That’s no excuse,” she yelled
while pulling Kai in, “detention after school!”
Kai ran to his seat, he could hear
Kari giggle. He turned around and stuck out his tongue.
“Since Aku warned us that Vick and
Kai were going to be late,” Miss Flora said with a smile, “We’ll start with our
daily lesson.”
Kai and Vick turned to Aku; Aku
smiled. Kai and Vick just pointed their pointers[3] towards
him.
“We’ll do history first today,”
Miss Flora, continued, “Lets start with writing down the city’s of Spring
Kilter.”
The students all groaned, but took
out there [4]notebook.
“Close your notebook when you’re
done.”
“Karampi yami Wanak xaraki!” the
voice yelled.
Kai shook his head and started all
over again. Just then there was a knock on the door. The door opened and two
students came in.
“Hay Mack,” the majority of the
class yelled.
“Karampi yami Wanak xaraki!” the
voice yelled.
Mack smiled and walked towards
Miss Flora, the girl behind him followed. Mack whispered something to Miss Flora
and turned to the other girl.
“Good luck,” Mack said to the girl
with a smile.
The girl smiled back while Mack
waved to the class.
“That’s enough Mack,” Miss Flora
said as she stood up, “see you fifth period.”
Mack left and Miss Flora walked
towards the girl.
“Class,” Miss Flora said as she
finished talking to the girl, “I’d like you all to meet our new student Ai…she
just moved.”
“Welcome Ai,” the class yelled
together.
“Thank you for your magnificent
welcome,” Ai said with a smile.
“You can sit in any empty seat you
want,” Miss Flora said as she sat down.
Ai looked around and saw an empty
seat in front of Kai. She walked over there and smiled at Kai as she sat
down.
“Karampi yami Wanak xaraki!” the
voice yelled.
“Ai,” Miss Flora said without
looking, “Please take out your notebook and write down all the city’s of Spring
Kilter.”
“But,” Ai said while blushing,
“I’m not acquainted were Spring Kilter is…I just moved to this
realm…”
Aku looked at
her.
“Then write all the city’s of the
state you were last in,” Miss Flora responded.
Ai typed, everyone was done
typing, even Ai. Miss Flora looked up and saw all the notebooks
closed.
“With the names of these city’s,”
Miss Flora said as she stood, “Give me an oral report on the city’s you’ve been
in…if you’ve been in all of them…then you better hurry.”
The class groaned but did what
they were told. Ai looked out the window and watched the black and white birds
frolic in the clear blue sky. Aku looked at Ai and blushed.
“Karampi yami Wanak xaraki!” the voice
yelled.
Ai looked out the window. Aku
looked at Ai.
“Aku,” Miss Flora said loud to get
the class’s attention, “you look like your done…please
report.”
“My story is sad,” Aku tried to
say while trying not to laugh.
“In front of the class now young
man.”
Aku got up to the class. A lot of
the girls started giggling and started winking at Aku. Aku winked and smiled at
the girls, which made the girls giggle more.
“My story,” Aku said teasingly,
“by the beautiful, handsome, talented, physically fit, wonder
boy…”
“Aku!” Miss Flora
yelled.
“Sorry…by Aku…I was once in
Tatsuya…beautiful…very beautiful…the beach was great…the girls were
beautiful…but not as beautiful as the girls in this class room…people thought I
was someone important…they wanted my autograph…I got free food…and were ever I
went…crowds followed…”
“That’s enough Aku,” Miss Flora
interrupted, “Next is…Kai.”
Kai blushed and got to the center
of the class. “I haven’t been anywhere,” Kai started, “ and since I haven’t gone
anywhere…I’d like to talk about my favorite place in the city…Silent Park…it’s
my favorite spot…I like to go to the center of the park…that’s were I saw my
parents last…”
Miss Flora was about to stop Kai,
but Kai put out his hand and continued. “The grass was perfect…not a cloud in
the sky…the air was fresh…the smell of flowers nectar filled the air…I was
playing with Buu…my little brown mutt…my mother took pictures…my father tried to
teach me to play football…he wanted me to actually play with steroid pumped
brutes…no offence to all our football players…I didn’t learn…as usual…we played
until it rained…the weather guy was always wrong…he still is…no offence Karla
but your dad really sucks…I ran under my mothers dress and my father sheltered
my mother and I…somehow we fell and we were soon dancing in the mud…that’s my
favorite spot.”
The class clapped and the girls
awed at the same time.
“I’ll let you go under my dress
anytime,” a girl yelled in the back.
Everyone laughed, even Ai and Kai.
Kai got back to his seat.
Kari put her arms around Kai and
said, “That was beautiful Kai…Will you marry me?”
Kari and Kai
laughed.
“Settle down class,” Miss Flora
yelled, “Kai that was beautiful and smart thinking of telling your favorite
moment if you didn’t go anywhere…next is…Vick.”
Vick looked up and ran towards the
front of the class.
“My favorite place is…GreensBuro…I
love there sweets…I go there every month…I get free sweets…my older brother owns
the store…we can take a field trip there…”
“Is that it,” Miss Flora said
while shaking her head.
“Yep…” Vick said while sitting,
“didn’t have enough preparation time.”
“Fine…next is…Kari…are you
prepared Kari?”
“Yes ma’am,” Kari said while
jumping out of her chair, “I am so ready…are all of you? Prepare for an A plus,
plus, plus, if at all possible.”
“Just get it over with…. I really need a
nap,” a boy in the back yelled.
Everyone but Ai, Kari, and the
Miss Flora laughed.
“My favorite place in Spring
Kilter is Wild Springs…my grandmother lives there…she has the best
smile…”
Suddenly there was a huge
explosion. Everyone looked out the window. The back of the school was gone.
People started crowding around the huge hole.
“What was
that?”
“I heard it was those things we
saw yesterday.”
“I heard the government had a
secret lab under there and it exploded.”
“I heard the janitor got really
mad.”
“Hay everyone Johnny just wet his
pants!”
Kai, Aku, Vick, and Kari looked at
the hole. Ai was the only one inside the building. She was looking out the
window. Kai looked at her from the outside.
“Karampi yami Wanak xaraki!” the
voice yelled.
“Hay Kai,” Vick yelled, “What do
you think it was?”
Kai turned around and looked at the
hole.
“Alright everyone,” the principal
yelled, “everyone back in the building…nothing to see
here…”
Suddenly clouds started forming
above the site. A beam of light shot out and hit the epicenter of the hole.
Everyone turned around. Ai looked out the window. A shadowy figure stood there.
With its yellow eyes it looked at Kari. It smiled and walked towards Kari.
Everyone started screaming and ran. Kari just stood there, she couldn’t move,
everyone around Kari couldn’t move. Kai, Vick, Aku, and the principal were
stuck. Kari started screaming.
“What does that thing want?” the
principal asked.
“Et wanak xaraki,” the yellow-eyed
answered.
Vick looked at Kai and Kai said,
“It wants the kristal guardian.”
The guys put their arms around
Kari and the principal shielded them.
“Get away,” the principal yelled,
“don’t harm my students.”
The yellow-eyed just smiled and
drew his sward. It struck the principal in the abdomen and pushed him aside. Now
the shadowy figure wasn’t in the light and they could finally see what it looked
like. It looked like a human with fangs, a tail, horns, and a torso of goat. Its
eyes were still red and it smelled like it never bathes. It shoved the boys to
the side and looked at Kari.
“Wanak xaraki,” it said, as it
smelled her.
“Stop,” a voice in the back
yelled.
Everyone looked to find another
shadowy figure in a light that didn’t descend from the
cloud.
“Do not harm her,” the figure
yelled.
“Wanak xaraki!?” the monster
asked.
Kai looked at the window, Ai
wasn’t there.
“No,” the figure responded, “Your
worse nightmare.”
The monster turned to Kari then
turned around towards the figure. It smiled and walked towards
it.
“What are you doing here, is it
for the kristal guardian?”
The monster
nodded.
“How many of you are
here?”
The monster raised two fingers.
Suddenly another red-eyed thing was behind the figure. They both walked towards
her. The figure jumped towards the sun. The monsters followed her and were
blinded by the glare of the sun.
“Flames of Annihilation,” the
figure yelled.
Huge fireballs hurled towards the
monsters and were destroyed. They all looked and awed at the triumph. Kari
screamed when she found part of the monsters skin on her
shoulder.
“Karampi yami Wanak xaraki!” the
voice yelled.
Kai grabbed the skin and walked
towards the trash.
“Legs are free,” he said as he
threw the skin away.
They moved their legs and started
dancing in a circle.
“We can move, we can move…” they
chanted.
Kai looked up, the figure
disappeared.
“Hay Kai,” Vick yelled, almost
scaring Kai out of his pants, “Come on…the principal said we get to go
home…everyone.”
“Is he alright?” Kai asked as he
turned around.
“Yah,” Kari said surprised, “the
wound that monster gave him just diapered.”
“What do you guy’s want to do
now,” Aku asked.
“How about going home,” Kai
suggested.
“Excuse me…Kai,” a familiar voice
behind said.
Kai turned around to find Miss
Flora.
“Come on Miss Flora,” Kai pleaded,
“I shouldn’t have detention…why…”
“Don’t worry Kai,” Miss Flora said
while trying not to laugh, “I canceled your detention…I just wanted to know if
you all are alright…you four gave me a scare…”
“Were all right Miss Flora,” Aku
said with a suave smile, “I protected them all.”
Miss Flora just shook her head and
walked away. They gang looked at Aku and started walking
away.
“What?” Aku asked as he ran after
him.
“Your hopeless, Aku,” Kari said as
they walked into the building.
“Always taking credit,” Vick
continued.
They walked into their classroom.
Ai was there packing up her things. The gang walked towards their desk and
started packing up there things. Ai was done packing; she was getting ready to
leave. Aku looked at Ai.
“Hay Ai,” Kai said as he got his
stuff together.
Ai stopped and turned
around.
“Do you mind if I walk with you?”
Kai asked as he walked up towards her.
“That wouldn’t be a predicament,”
Ai answered with a smile.
Kai smiled back and they both
walked out of the classroom. The gang watched them as they
left.
“There’s something about that
girl,” Aku said as he walked towards Kari.
“I think she’s sweet,” Kari said
as she hit Aku with her book bag.
“You probably like her, Aku,” Vick
said teasingly, “I bet you’re jealous of Kai…your not the only one who gets the
girl.”
“What are you talking about?” Aku
asked as he rubbed his nose.
“There’s something about that
girl,” Vick said while mocking Aku.
Aku hit Vick on the head and
walked away.
“Do you guy’s want a ride or not?”
Aku yelled in the hallway.
Kari and Vick ran after
Aku.
