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.
