• Lunch time.....the one thing thats good about school. In our classroom, or at the cafateria, we would eat boxed lunches, home-made lunches, or vending machine food we would purchase down the street...whatever gets food in you. I sit here in my desk, no food or nothing....just starving my freaking stomach off. Damn....why didn't I eat anything this morning? Maybe because I don't have a freaking job! Oh man...I'm hungry. " Wow....this is something I expect to see from you Rai....starving to death by your own lack of money." This gloomy girl here is Hitomi's best friend, Mika. Most of the time, Mika acts all dipressed and negative towards most of the students, but never to Hitomi...except when nobody is looking. She usually makes fun of me for not having food or just feels like saying something stupid. She was wearing a few accessories on her hand and had earings on both ears. Quite the dresser she was....very wierd. " Pretty sad Rai..." Thats Mika for you, a women of short words. Not now Mika...I'm too hungry. " Thats your problem, not mine." She could really get on your nerves sometimes. Not much of a talker to any other students, only to Hitomi does she talk more. She only gives me a short conversation once in a while. But now that I think about it, Me and Hitomi are the only ones she ever talks to. I stood up and walked over to the door. " Going somewhere?" Just to get some air. At least she shows some signs of being curious to where I go all the time....she probably doesn't care, but whatever. I then walked up to the roof, the only place to clear my thoughts out. *sigh*.....Sometimes I wonder if my life is going to stay like this....boring and nothing exciting. I leaned against the fence and looked up at the sky. I sure miss the old times.....too bad there gone....It would have been real fun too....oh well. Damn my stomach.....stop growling! Where am I suppose to get...OW! Something had hit my forehead. " YO!" I looked up and had seen someone sitting on top of the water system. " If your hungry, eat that..." Eat what? I held what hit me in the head. It was some kind of box. I opened it and...wow.....FOOOOOOD!!!!

    I glared deep within the box, which was filled with delicous looking food. " You gonna stare at the damn thing or eat it?" I looked up and realized who it was. Oh god........why me? " You remember me from class right? I'm Hyoujin! Better recognize!" Hyoujin jumped from the water system and onto the roof, while making a wierd pose when landing. You sure like making wierd introductions don't yea? " Hey don't be hating just because your hungry. Not my fault you didn't eat any breakfast." Damn...why is he right? He then leaned against the fence while I sat down and ate his lunch in a matter of seconds. " Poor cholo....you must have been really starving if you wanted to eat that crap! Haha!" Hyoujin sure had a good sense of humor. *gulp*...Why bring it....*munch*...if your not gonna....*munch*...eat it? I couldn't talk straight with all the food in my mouth. " Not really the type of food I like to eat. I like food with more actual flavor." I finished eating the last bit of food that was left inside the box. *burp*....Thanks for the food. Names Raijuu if you didn't hear. " Raijuu? Wierd name don't think?" To be honest, I kinda agreed with him. Most people just call me Rai, I find that more suitable than Raijuu. " Whatever man...." Hyoujin then pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his back pocket. " Want one?" No thanks. He lit it with a lighter and inhaled a small portion of it. So why you up here anyway? " Getting some air I guess. Not really doing anything. Just.....*inhales and exhauls*.....doing whatever comes to mind." Hyoujin seemed like a mellow kind of person. He had headphones around his neck, so he likes music, big shocker. I could hear some music playing while he smoked. So....what kind you listening to? " Well you know, a bunch of cute girls singing." I probably shouldn't ask. Whats it sound like? But I did. " Listen for yourself." I placed one headphone to the side of my ear and listened to the song. Hyoujin was right.....a bunch of cute japanese girls singing. So...you listen to this kind of stuff? " Hey! Its good music! So......shut up!" He grabbed back the headphones and put them back over his head. Sorry.....freaking touchy. " I heard that!" Now that confused the hell out of me. How is it that Hyoujin can hear me with his damn headphones turned full blast?!!! Hyoujin sure is a strange dude...but I'm no different. I guess hes alright, in a wierd friendly kind of way. Maybe something exciting will finally happen for a change. Man...I sure hope something happens right now, cause I'm getting tired of whatever is poking my back.....wait a minute.....what is poking my back?! I turned around and had seen, behind the fence, sharp teeth that I recognized. Suijin.....what are you doing? As always, you expect Suijin to appear in wierd places....seriously how does he do it?

    Suijin, climb over before someone see's you. " Wow, talk about a fun killer. Thats the problem with you Rai, you don't act out. Are you shy of people looking at you? I sure as hell know I'm not." Suijin jumped over the fence and landed in front of us. Nice jump.....but did you have to do that? " Well...not really, but I looked pretty damn cool doing it!" Yea...good for you. " So what are two doing up here anyway?" Just talking. Suijin looked at Hyoujin. " Not much talking going on right now. What were you talking about before I got here?" Nothing much really, just saying hello and what not. Suijin can be a bit nosey sometimes, especially towards me. Probably because he has nobody else to stick his head into anybody's conversations....oh well. " Oh really? Well you know I can be a bit nosey, but hey, as long as I know what you know, then its alright." Well don't this the wrong way Suijin, but my personal life isn't your business, so stop asking questions already...damn. Hyoujin blew out the last of his cigarette and flicked it away. " Well.....I'm heading back down. I'll see ya later Rai." Don't worry, I'm heading down too. Suijin just stood there silent. I'm not a mean person or anything, but I had to tell him. I mean were buddies and all, but he doesn't have to know all about me. I keep my past to myself.....that is.....whatever past I remember. " Hehehe. Forgive me for snooping then. It's not like you have anything interesting to know about. But hey, don't blame me....blame yourself for not doing anything exciting in your life. It's not my fault you choose to live like this. I guess your just not that important." Now that surprised me. What Suijin just said made alot of sense, but at the same time, kinda got me angry. I wanted to turn around and disagree with him, but I couldn't......Suijin was right....I'm not important. All the more reason not to stick your nose into my business. But don't think were not friends anymore just because of what I said. Were still buddies, but don't snoop around me ok? Gives me the creeps. " Alright then. I'll be sure to remember that." Suijin smiled with his sharp teeth clinged together. Well alright then, I'll see ya later Suijin. I then walked through the doorway of the roof which led to the stairs, but I stopped and turned around. Hey Suijin, you coming? Class is about to start. " Oh I'll be there in a sec. Just go on without me." Um sure, if you say so. I walked down the steps from the roof into the school, while Suijin still remained on the roof. I wonder what hes doing? Probably sulking because of what I said....well....its done now, nothing I can do about it. I hope he doesn't do anything unexpected.

    On the rooftop, Suijin remained silent, all alone....for the time being. " How long are you guys gonna hide?" Seemed like Suijin wasn't talking to anyone, but looking where something isn't appears. " My my, you sure have your work cut out for ya." A strange voice appeared from no where, but then a shadowy figure appeared next to the door of the rooftop entrance. " It seems hes caught on to your so called investigative abilities. Maybe you should dim it down a bit before he becomes suspicious of what your doing." Suijin stood still for a brief moment, but then another voice appeared. " I agree. We don't need anymore screw ups. We already got our hands full with what we got now. Why make it more complicated Suijin?" Another shadow showed itself on another part of the roof, but this shadow looked more bigger than the other shadow. " Don't worry....I have everything under control." The shadow closest to Suijin chuckled. " Hehehe. Do you now? Then tell me this. Has he begun to show any strange signs yet?" Suijin continued standing, looking mindless. " No strange activity what so ever." But then the big shadow hit his fists together and started to talk more out loud. " HEY! Don't forget! Since hes showed up, everything has become more difficult now! We can't have them being friendly to each other. So are you SURE there isn't any show of strange activity?" And like before, Suijin answered. " None at all. They just met today, but its a good chance either one may experience problems sooner or later. We will have to take certain measures to ensure niether one of them remembers." The smaller shadow started to walk around but not show it's appearance. " I've got the perfect solution. But it will require some time to gather the right subjects to test them on." The big shadow questioned the little shadow. " You think that's wise? Were not supposed to kill them, remember?" The smaller shadow chuckled again. " Hehehe. Don't worry.....its nothing more than a simple test. We will see if either one passes, but its likely niether of them will succeed." Suijin also questioned the smaller shadow. " You sure seem confident. Can you be sure they won't complete the test?" The smaller shadow smiled. " Of course....theres no reason to doubt my skills now is there?" Suijin looked back and forth at the two shadows. The large shadow sighed and asked the smaller shadow. " But what if they somehow manage to pass? You realize if your plan fails, then you know what will happen......" The smaller shadow stopped walking. " If that happens.....then I guess....we can always repeat our actions. When they remember.....we strike. Understand?" Suijin answered calmy. " Yes sir." The large shadow jumped from where he was and joined the others. " Remember.....any signs of those two acting wierd, give us a call....we'll be in touch." Then the smaller shadow clapped his hands. " Ok....I'll be ready with the subjects as soon as I can. You got two days.....thats all....hehehehe." Then in a quick flash both of them were gone. Suijin just stood there and looked up at the sky. " Orders are simple....observe and report....but if the situation proves a problem.....take care of it. Sounds simple enough."
