Chapter Eight
"Sen! Larena and Kohaku are here to take you to school!"
"I'm coming!"
It was Kohaku and Sen's first day of school, and since Sen's elementary school was
right next to Kohaku and Larena's highschool, they figured it would be best if they brought
her there. Sen came bounding down the steps, wearing her school uniform and carrying
her backpack. Her hair had been pulled back into two high ponytails, and she smiled
before hugging Larena and Kohaku in turn.
Larena laughed, hugging the younger girl back before taking her hand and turning. "Bye
Grandma! Bye Grandpa!" Sen called back to her grandparents, the two smiling and waving
until the three were out of sight.
"So, excited to be going to school Sen?" Larena asked, looking down at her. Sen grinned
and nodded quickly, swinging her arms around. She grasped Larena's hand with her right
hand and Kohaku's with her left, causing the two teens to laugh and smile.
They reached the schools in about ten minutes, seeing as it wasn't that long of a walk
from their grandparents house.
Standing in front of her new school, Sen looked eager to go in and meet new people, but
Larena needed to talk to her for a bit first. "Sen, remember. No telling people that your half
spirit or anything about the spirit world, alright?" she asked, the younger girl nodding.
"I won't! See you guys after school!" she giggles, running off onto the play ground.
Larena and Kohaku smiled at each other before walking to their own school, getting Kohaku's
schedule and everything from the front desk. Since it wouldn't really be fair to make the boy
find his way around himself, they gave him the same schedule as Larena. Having done that,
they went to first period, Larena introducing him to her friend Maggie.
"Um..hello." he said, watching in curious confusion as the blond girl started circling around
him, then stood in front of him and nodded before smiling.
"Are you two dating?" she asked casually.
Larena turned red, but Kohaku simply blinked. 'Dating?' he wondered, not being familiar with
the term. "N-no, Maggie, we are not." Larena stuttered, turning even redder when Maggie
shrugged and laughed. The three began joking about random things, Kohaku getting confused
every now and then due to his lack of knowledge of human activities, but he was able to follow
the conversation fairly well. The three were having so much fun that they didn't notice Mina sitting
in a corner of the room, staring at Kohaku lustfully.

At lunch, Larena stopped by the caf doors and hit her head playfully. "Oh shoot, I forgot my purse
in my locker. You head in and find Maggie while I go and get it, alright?" she said, turning to
Kohaku.
"You sure you don't want me to go with you?"
"I'll be fine. Be back in a minute!" she called, running off in the direction of said locker. She made
it to her locker and spun the combo into her locker, swinging the door open. She was stopped
when she sensed someone next to her, and groaned mentally when she saw who it was. Jordon
Shinjitsu was the most popular guy in school. Captain of the football team, blond hair, blue eyes,
nice build, he was every girls dream man. Except for Larena. The problem? He seemed to like her.
"Look, Jordon, I'm in no mood, I have to meet my friend at the caf." she said shortly, digging around
in her locker for her purse before grabbing it and closing the locker.
"Oh come on Larena. You know your the prettiest girl in this school. So why not go out with me?"
he asked, obviously not caring what she wanted.
"Look, Jordon, I have no interest in you what so ever, so please just leave me alone. "Larena said,
attempting to walk past him.
He grabbed her arm and swung her back over, trapping her against her locker. "Oh no you don't.
You will be mine Larena, there's no fighting it." he said, leaning down to kiss her. Larenas throat
closed up, fearing she had lost her first kiss to the jock, her eyes closed in disgust. She blinked
when he was suddenly pulled away from her before his lips had touched her, and grinned seeing
who had done it.
"I owe you Kohaku!" she smiled, hugging him tightly.
He blushed and hugged her back gently, his cheeks tinted pink again. "When it took you awhile
to come back, Maggie and I got worried, so I decided to come looking for you." he explained,
pulling back and taking her hand. Smiling at each other, they walked back to the caf, still
holding hands, ignoring a fuming Jordon who stormed off muttering things about revenge.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"So, how did you like your first day Kohaku?" Larena asked her friend, smiling. They were
walking down the main hallway of the school towards the front, needing to pick up Sen before
heading home.
"It was ok, besides that Mina chick staring at me and that Jordon guy trying to hurt you." he
said quietly, smiling back at her. Larena blinked and blushed a bit, looking away. Both teens
blinked and stopped when they exited the school, seeing a big commotion near the side exit.
Nodding to each other, they ran over and stopped in shock, staring at what was in front of them.
A large, sectioned off area was surrounded by a crowd of people, and they could hear sirens
from police cars, ambulances and fire trucks coming from inside the barrier. Pushing their
way threw the crowd, they made it to the front, and what they saw made Larena stumble
back in shocked horror. Kohaku caught her and looked to where she was staring, his face
mirroring hers.
What had once been a teenage girl now sat in the middle of the area, her body torn and shredded,
blood everywhere. Both teens were thinking similar thoughts, that this wasnt the work of something
human. It was either the work of a magic user, or some form of demon or spirit. Walking away from the
scene, the two were quiet, going to Sen's school to pick her up.
"You..coming for dinner tonight right?" Kohaku asked suddenly.
Larena blinked. She had forgotten that the Ogino's had invited she and Kohaku to dinner with them that
night, what with the sudden murder of the girl from their school.
"Oh...ya..." she murmured quietly. Her mind was whirring with questions, but one stood out from the others.
What the hell was going on??
