Kitsune

I woke up from my dream soaked in sweat with a dull ache in my heart from the pain of what came next in my dream.The part where I send a signal for help and it never comes the part where I walk home and find my guardian dead.Then I pack up my stuff and leave burying my Guardian in the back yard and I move to California to seek out the other Kitsune. I climb out of bed and go into the bathroom to wash the evidence of sleep from my eyes and I stand there and look at my face in the mirror. I see the face of a girl who looks regular to most but to those who look for it manifest’s a lot of power but has no clue how to use it. A girl who has lost so much that the pain is evident but almost gone. The thing that separates a dream from a nightmare is when you wake from a dream you are at peace and well rested but when you wake from a nightmare you awake to adrenaline coursing through your veins, sweat droplets coating your body and your heart pounding and your mind preparing your body for fight or flight mode. But what separates my dream/nightmare from both is that its my past and another Kitsune's future. Well, shall I say the only other Kitsune's future. There is only me and another. My mission is to hunt for him and his guardian before it is to late before we are both left to defend ourselves against something we don't fully understand nor have the training to fight. I must find him before the fate that was brought upon me reach’s him. But I am not sure he has yet harnessed his powers or even knows what he is yet.So for now I am just a regular 17 year old girl in high school who will be his friend and later we will become fighters and protector's of the human race defending them from the Omi.

Trying hard not to hear, but they talk so loud Their piercing sounds fill my ears, try to fill me with doubt Yet I know that the goal, is to keep me from falling But nothing’s greater, than the rush that comes with your embrace And in this world of loneliness, I see your face Yet everyone around me, thinks that I'm going crazy, maybe, maybe……...

My phone sounds the alarm to my favorite song that will now wake me up for school every morning promptly at five. I walk over and turn it off then begin to get ready for school I’m sort of a nerd and a loner but it doesn’t matter I like to be alone that means that no one gets hurt.After I get out the shower I put on some clothes and go to the kitchen I rented out this flat when I came to California it would have drawn attention for a 17 year old girl to live in a hotel with no guardian and the one rule for all kitsune’s is to never draw attention to one’s self thats when we end up in labs with scientist poking at us and someone very bad using our powers to control the world. I grab a granola bar from the counter and head out the door I walk to the elevator and ride it down to the parking garage I get in my car and navigate my way to University High School. I pull up to a school and instantly know that this is a school of cliques the populars stick with the populars, the geeks with the geeks, the goths with the goths, and the others all divided and well organized.You know your place, and if you get out of line you will be punished by the populars, but thats the thing with me…………. I don’t seem to fit in anywhere.

I get out the car and make my way to the front doors of the building to get to the office but not before I hear a whistle and someone walking up behind me .

“Hey, Babe you must be new” A guy with black hair comes up to me and says

He has on a varsity jacket which let's me know immediately that he is a jock and those are the types I stay away from

“Yeah I’m looking for the office” I say as he checks me out

I shift awkwardly and his eyes come back to my face

“I can help you out, If you want” he starts to walk towards the door I look around and notice people staring. I’m drawing unnecessary attention so to escape the awkward feeling I have I choose to follow him maybe he wasn't the cocky kind maybe he was one of the rare one's those who don't look for sex from every girl they see

"Hey can we stop by my locker first I have something I need to drop off at the office" He says before taking a sharp left not really leaving me room to actually answer so I just followed and didn't say anything.

“I'm Zayn” he says turning and extending a hand to me still walking

‘’Kira’’ I say shaking his hand

He stops at a locker and twirls the lock a few times till it pops open then takes out an envelope then he closes his locker and turns to me

“Shall We” he says

“Sure, I guess” I say

We start walking again and when we get to the office and he holds the door open for me

“Thanks” I mumble and walk in ahead of him I step up to the little old lady at the front desk and clear my throat to grab her attention from the AARP article she’s reading

“Hi I’m Kira I’m transferring from Connecticut” I say and plaster a great big smile on my face I don’t want to be labeled as the rude kid cause those are some of the one’s that draw attention.

“Oh, yes we received your transcript yesterday” She says getting up and walking to a file cabinet off to the left of her desk

“So, Connecticut, My friends say the parties up there are wild “ Zayn says leaning on the desk and eyeing me “And the girls too”

“I wouldn’t know I’m not much of what you call a party girl” I say matter-of-factly watching the secretary struggle to open the file cabinet

“Well thats the great thing about moving to a new school you can start over make a new name for yourself” He says dropping his envelope in a box labeled return and walk’s out the office but not before giving me a wink and pat on the butt

Before I could curse him out in the five languages I knew the secretary came back with a huff and dropped into her seat

“Okay, Kira this is your locker number and combination, your class schedule, and the list of electives we offer here at University High School.”

“Thanks” I say grabbing the papers I look through the list of electives looking for one of interest When I find one my eyes light up.

“I think I already know the elective I would like to take” I say circling it and handing the paper back to her

“Photography, That is a very Interesting choice, there are only two other people in that class so it is a very quiet setting.”

“Perfect” I Said as I grab my bag to get ready to go to homeroom

“Thanks” I say before turning to walk out the office

As soon as I turn though I instantly bump into someone

“I’m so sorry, Love are you ok” A voice says and I look up into the deepest color of green orbs ever imaginable

“Yeah” I mumble picking up the stuff that had fallen around me

I let him help me off the floor but almost Instantly we are face to face and uncomfortably close but then it hits me it was like a spark coursing through my body

“Ummm thanks” I say stepping back a little too quickly and I start to wobble

“Woah steady now, did you go to Seth Morgan’s party last night, you seem a little out of it” he said chuckling

“Ummm, who, no I’m new” I say looking down at my shoes

“Oh, thats cool where from” he says showing a little too much interest for my Kitsune taste

“Connecticut, Ummm I gotta go” I say sidestepping him

“O, ok well I’m sorry again for bumping into you” he calls down the hall to me

But I don’t answer I just keep walking and round a corner

I find myself on the senior Hallway and I start to look for my locker I find it and stuff some things inside before heading off to my first class chemistry

“Hey babe” Zayn calls from the back of the class he is sitting in the middle of a group of girls they all give me the death glare they're probably thinking“ Who is this chick? Is she new? Why in Hell did Zayn call her babe? She isn’t all that pretty anyway.”

I groan and take a seat by the windows

Zayn Comes up and sits beside me

“Hey I was talking to you” He looked pissed

“What the hell do you want” I say annoyed and overly upset about his little “pat” in the office

He grabbed my wrist forcing me to look at him

“I was nice this morning but this is my school and when I say hey you respond back when I say come here you come and when I say jump you say how high”

My skin was boiling he crossed a line if he thought he was going to control me he had another thing coming

A shock coursed through my body and I use a little bit of my energy to project it outwards he must have felt it because he jumped back and let go of my wrist I got up to walk away but he recovered and grabbed me by my waist

“I’m not done talking’ he says, he was drawing a non-needed crowd it was making me nervous I start to wiggle to get free but Zayn pushes himself up against my back and starts to grind I step on his foot and his hold on me loosens to the point that I can get free, and that’s when I meet the High School Slut

Stephanie

“Zayn’s talking to you, Bitch”

I hate being called a Bitch it seems to minimize the one it’s used against and it angers me cause I am NOT a female freaking dog and thats when it happens the windows in the classroom shatter sending glass and the rain and wind spewing into the classroom.

Everyone screams and ducks but not me I’m to scared to move so i just stand there and then after what seems like forever I run out.

This was going to be a ling school Year
