The First Day (8/27/99 - ?/?/??): Unnamed

Contents:  To Be Determined

Pictures coming soon!

1. Yoshi opened the homeroom door with a mixture of
fear and apprehension.  Normally, the first day of
school was slightly traumatic for everyone, but Yoshi
remembered all too well how bad his first day had been
last year.  At least, he admitted, this year nothing
wet or sticky fell on top of him as he entered.  This
year it was only a chalk eraser, leaving a large white
mark on his blue school uniform.

Yoshi took his seat amid a few supressed snickers. 
Mrs. Torukoruko, the teacher for that period, was just
beginning to call roll.  For some reason, Yoshi could
picture her struggling to pronounce her own last name.

"Chi... uh, chi?" The woman stammered.

"Here!" called a girl with flowing purple hair and a
pair of small horns protruding from her forehead. 
Looking her over, Yoshi decided that she was a much
better exchange student than the giant amoeba from
Centauris 9 last year.

"Jahana Masako?" the teacher continued.

A boy dressed in a decadent version of a schoo,
uniform responded in a calm, measured tone.  

"Okay, you're here.  Let's see, who's next..."

Yoshi decided to ignore the teacher and look around
from something of greater interest.  In one corner, a
girl with a school uniform that seemed two sizes to
small was making a point of staring past a
gothic-looking girl with a pair of small black angel
wings protruding from her back, which Yoshi couldn't
immediately tell whether they were real or some sort
of odd accessory.  

Across the way, Yoshi could see a girl with long,
flowing blond hair being noisily asleep at her desk,
clutching something that looked suspiciously like a
beer bottle clutched in one hand under the desk. 
Sitting next to her was a girl wearing a blue bikini
and a pair of fashionable sungalsses, which Yoshi
wondered why she chose to wear indoors.  

In front, there was a typical-looking teenage boy in a
blue plaid shirt doodling something in his notebook. 
Next to him, and almost directly in front of the
teacher's desk, sat a blue-haired girl in a white tank
top.  Yoshi almost thought he saw the slightest wisp
of something behind her, but passed it off as a trick
of the light.

The teacher finished roll call, and Yoshi's name still
hadn't been called.

"Um, excuse me, teacher, but my name wasn't called..."

"Oh, it wasn't?" the teacher said, sounding slightly
frazzled.  "Oh, it must be one of these ones penciled
in at the bottom!  So, you're, uh...  Hugh Jass?"

"N-no, actually, it isn't," Yoshi said amidst peals of
laughter.  "It's Yoshi Takezawa, actually..."

"Oh, here it is!" the teacher said.  "I'm sorry, I
must have skipped over it..."

<Well,> Yoshi thought to himself, <I guess this year
is off to a predictable start.>

2. "Well, this is boringŠ." Jin said to himself quietly, as 
he stopped drawing. He put his hands behind his head 
and leaned back in his chair. "Summer had to go by so 
fastŠ. Guess it was because of all the stuff we had to 
do before we moved hereŠ." He looked over to the 
girl the long purple hair. "ChiChi? I wonder where 
sheıs fromŠ. And what are those things on her head?" 
It was just then he realized that he leaned too far back, 
but it was too late. He lost his balance and fell back 
with a loud thump. His red cap came off on impact. 
"Is the hurting overŠ.?" Most of the students were 
laughing their heads off. "This is not the way I wanted 
to start the first day of schoolŠ." He quickly got up, 
fixed his chair and sat back down. Then he realized 
something was missing. "Hey, whereıs my hat?"

3. Sakeko Inori opened one eye when the teacher had called her name
during roll call.  "Present..." was her mumbled reply.
   Once the teacher turned around, Sakeko quickly finished off her beer
and stuffed it into a paperbag in her bookbag, unnoticed.  She then
yawned and looked around the classroom.  *Why must I go to this boring
torture institute?  Glad it's my last year.* Sakeko thought. 
   "Anyway..." Sakeko mumbled to herself as she brought out her (insert
class subject) book out, a pencil, and a stack of paper (as a pillow). 
She then randomly opened the book and stood it up on her desk.  She
stratched a bit and finally settled herself in for more sleep behind
the
book, while holding her pencil as if she was working.

4. The winged, dark angel of a girl lifted her head off the desktop just 
slightly to cast a look at the young lady in the tight uniform that
watched 
her so intently. "Hrmph..." she muttered, putting her head down again 
sleepily. A few more seconds under the other girl's stare and Torisia
cried 
out frustratedly, turning to glare back at the girl. Her blue eyes
flashed 
with annoyance. "Look here, Celene. I HATE it when people stare! Only 
Masako-chan can stare!" With that, she reached out a leather-gloved
hand and 
pulled the unfortunate boy to her. "Because he has pretty eyes!" She
grinned 
and stuck a pink tongue out at Celene, knowing that the whole Masako
bit 
would annoy her so much more than a glare.

5. "Oh boy, maybe moving here wasnıt the smartest thing for 
us to doŠ." Jin said to himself. He yawned, and laid his 
head down. "Itıs only homeroom, I can to sleep hereŠ." 
He was only asleep for a few minutes when something 
touched his shoulder. Jin shot up. "Who?! What?! Where?! 
When?!" Then he fell back because he shot up too fast. He 
looked around for the person who woke him up, but didnıt 
see anyone. "This is NOT the way I wanted to start the first 
day of schoolŠ." Then his notebook fell off his desk and 
smacked him in the face. "Is the hurting overŠ.?"

6. Mrs. Torukoruko stared at the radical mix of
students in her class in resignation.  At least half
of them were some sort of strange aliens, and the rest
seemed either bored, incompetent, or overly eccentric.
Well, she was a teacher, and she would do her level
best to get through another year without going
clinically insane.  After all, anyone who would want
to work here had to be at least slightly crazy.

Sighing once more for effect, she stood up and began
to address the class with her usual indifference,
talking almost at random while imagining herself on a
deserted tropical isle far from teenagers. 
Unfortunately, she didn't realize that her skirt,
which had taken to the glue that someone had placed on
her chair, failed to rise with her.

7. Taki, as usual, sat in the back, isolated by a
barrier of empty desks.  It was shaping up for another
good year of quiet and isolation in which he could
create his intricate mechanical inventions in
solitude.  At the moment, he had become engrossed in
creating a large, smooth oblong device with several
clear blisters in its sides that glowed with an
unnatural power.  

8. After giving his response to the teacher Masako looked all around
the 
room and glanced at the other students. He knew Torisia and Celene, who
were 
both staying as guests in his home, but the rest were all unfamiliar
faces. 
He took a deep breath and sighed, wishing very much that school was
ending 
rather than just starting. It wasn't because he had trouble with the
work, 
but simply because there were other things he would rather be doing. A 
distant expression fell upon his face as he daydreamed about another
night of 
showing off his good looks and flirting with as many people as
possible, and 
before long meeting the significant other of his dreams. When she
pulled him 
towards herself it felt so real, almost as if it was actually
happening...

Suddenly Masako awakened and found himself being pulled toward Torisia.

Although he was worried that she might try setting him on fire at
first, his 
expression grew more relaxed after hearing the compliment. 

"Of course! And such pretty hair too!" the boy said proudly and half to

himself, tossing back his waist-length wavy blonde hair with one hand
at the 
same time.

With that Masako returned to his seat and turned his attention to Mrs. 
Torukoruko, who had recently started speaking. He giggled quietly as he

noticed that her skirt was nowhere to be seen, and then stood to
address the 
teacher.

"Torukoruko-sensei..." he began in a very quiet and polite but slightly

amused tone. "Is that considered appropriate attire for teachers here
in 
Kuzuru?"

9. The blue-haired girl in the white tank top, sitting next to Jin,
was 
called Ryoko. She had moved from her home village to go to Kuzuru High 
school. She had her eye on Chi-chi and the girl with the black wings.
Ryoko seemed to be whispering to herself; ³Damn it, I canıt tell if
those 
two are demons or aliens, but they seem nice enough.²
Jin was scanning the floor for his hat. Ryoko looked up towards the
ceiling 
and yawned. She was halfway through her yawn when she stopped and
noticed a 
red cap floating in the air.
³How did that get up there?² but then she knew, ³Lucy.²
A wisp appeared next to Ryoko and it formed into a young girl with her
hair 
tied at both sides. Yoshi, who was the only one watching, did a double
take.
³Iım trying to fit in here, itıs my first day.²
³Sorry,² said Lucy, ³but I was bored.² Ryoko gave her a look and the
ghost 
girl disappeared. The cap stopped floating and fell down on top of
Jinıs 
head. Jin yelped and felt what was on top of his head; ³My cap???²
The class all turned their attention to Jin. He turned red with 
embarrassment and repeated what he said earlier to himself; ³This is
not the 
way I wanted to start the first day of school.²
³Well itıs not the weirdest thing Iıve seen,² said Yoshi.

10. Sakeko was soon fast asleep, but laughter in the classroom cause
her last year's English workbook to fall on her head.  Finding herself
in
the dark, she quickly lifted her head.  She thought everyone was
laughing
at her until she saw English teacher Mrs. Torukoruko in what seems to
be
her underwear.
        "Nande?" was all Sakeko could mutter for she thought she had
woken
up in another dimension, being low in her alcohol content.  "Oh, it's
so
sad to be sober!" she cried out in her most distressed and dramatized
voice.  Pseudo tears ran down her face in longing for brandy or scotch
while the people around her (?) laughed at the teacher's missing skirt.

11. Celene, after glaring at Torisia for a while, then getting her annoyed
with 
her, simply laughed and said, "I can stare at you all I want!" Though
after 
that little touching of /her/ Masako, she got angry. She growled and
nearly 
screamed, "You little 14 year old trash! You don't deserve the
beautiful 
Masako!" Celene stomped her feet like a child and whined, then gave up
and 
sat in place. This is totally not fair...I should hurt her..yes! I
should! 
Hmm..Compco! She mumbled to herself, then decided how she would hurt
the rude 
Torisia. She held her right hand out and called out, "Compco! Give me
a--" 
,but as soon as her mechanical device was going to give her a very
nifty 
weapon, the class burst out laughing. She blinked and looked around.
"What? 
What did I do..?" Then she realized the teacher was standing in her 
underwear, then quickly looked away. "How horrifying.. so.. ugly!
Ewwww!!", 
then she began to laugh, what else was there to do? This was funny, and
she 
needed something to lighten her mood.

12. As the secretary rambles on about some monster having wiped out
most of 
the previous junior class at their prom, Micalla sighs mentally and
looks at 
the homeroom number again. "..and that's why there aren't any senior 
homerooms." the elderly lady finishes.  "Are you SURE there aren't
enough 
seniors left to make up one?" Micalla asks insistently. At the solemn
shake 
of the lady's head Micalla sighs in defeat and asks for a late pass to 
homeroom.  After a little searching she finally finds 1-E, braces
herself and 
opens the door.....only to be blasted by the sounds of laughter. 

13. Mika was initially apprehensive as she first
opened the door into Homeroom 1-E.  The homeroom last
year had been cursed by an uneven boy/girl ratio, not
to mention the entire girl's gymnastics team, and the
only person who had asked her on a date was Weird
Glbrht, who looked approximately like a giant
single-celled organism and had a comparable intellect.
 Needless to say, she had spent most of that
year studying and working at the Happy Noodle.

At least this yerar, she consoled herself, looking
around the room, the gymnastics team had been shifted
into a different homeroom.  And despite the occasional
ill references to it by then-upperclassmen ans the
"Homeroom of Failure," it didn't look all that bad. 
Most of the students looked relatively normal, and
those that didn't were usually limited to cosmetic
defects like giant wings.  

Unfortuantely for her, though, all of the seats in the
back row were taken.  In fact, there was only one seat
left: an empty desk in the front row near the teachers
desk, right next to a boy in a red cap. Feeling
embarrassed for walking in so late, she crept up to
the desk silently and sat down, hoping no one had
noticed her.

A few moments later, she noticed the boy looking at
her.  Worrying that something was wrong with her
appearance, she blushed in embarrassment and turned
away.

<I guess I ought to talk to him> she thought.  <But
how am I going to do that?  I'm so nervous I'll
stammer like an idiot!>

After taking a few moments to try and gain some
composure, she turned to him amidst peals of laughter.
 Looking up, she noticed the teacher's predicament,
and watched as recognition sudfdenly clicked on her
face, and she hurriedly sat down, her face turning a
bright read.  As the laughter died down, she turned
back to the boy and managed to whisper "H-h-h-hi.."

14. Finally, the purple-haired girl with the horns had stopped laughing
at
the hilarious gag. with a smile she raised her hand. The teacher,
looking
around the room at all the students, puzzled about the laughter, called
on
the girl. She stammered "Y-yes, ms. Ki.. no..ChiChi, wasn't it?" Then
ChiChi
said "Torukoruko-sensei, beg your pardon, but I don't think pink
polka-dots
are really your thing." Realizing what ChiChi meant, Ms. Torukoruko
quickly
tried to sit down and repair the damage. As Torukoruko fiddled with her
skirt ChiChi again raised her hand and asked to be excused. The
frustrated
teacher said "Oh Go AHEAD!" ChiChi stood up and then escalated herself
about
two feet off the ground and she flew out the door, to everyone's
surprise
and amazement. As she flew around in a circle, to shut the door, she
noticed
everyone was gawking at her, aside from a few people, like the person
slumped over their desk, with a drunken look upon their face. ChiChi
just
smiled and shut the door.

15. Jin looked at the door where Chi-Chi left, and was 
still in amazement. "WhoaŠ. Now I know moving 
here wasnıt the smartest thing to doŠ." Then he 
heard something next to him that made him snap 
out of it. "Huh?" He turned and was face to face with 
the girl that was in the once unoccupied seat. He 
backed off, then turned red slightly. "Oh, h-hi. When 
did you get here? Nevermind, you didnıt really miss 
much anywayŠ." He looked over to the teacher, who 
was busy trying to fix her skirt, then smirked to himself. 
He looked back over to the new girl. "My nameıs Jin 
Tekken. Whatıs yours?"

16. "M-mika," was all that she managed to stammer. 
The boy (Jin, she had to remember his name) continued
to look at her but didn't say anything for a while. 
Just as he seemed about to open his mouth, there was a
large flash from the back of the room.

17. "At last, I have done it!" Taki mttuered to himself,
holding the device that was glowing brighter than
ever.  "This time I have finally harnessed the eternal
soul of Jerry Lewis!  Soon, the entire country of
France will be at its knees!  I will rule supreme!"

Not noticing as the other kids turned to stare at him,
he watched as a wisp of energy floated from the device
and began to form a ghostly face.  It seemed familiar,
but...

"Oh, it's you," he sighed to the soul of Mr. Tezuko,
the new athletics coach.

"Oh, it's you again," the ghostly face moaned.  "I
should have known you'd be playing with that again! 
Now put my soul back before I have the vice-principal
confiscate all of your infernal devices!"

Then, noticing the students staring at it, the face
turned to them.

"O-kay then!  All of you are required to play a sport
next year, so you're all coming down to the gym for
P.E. next period to pick one!  No ifs, ands, or buts
about it!"

As the students stared back at the apparition, it
turned its attention back to Taki.

"All right, now, put my soul back or you're on the
rope-climbing team!"

"Fine, fine.  Do you know where I can find Jerry
Lewis?"

"France.  Where the heck else would he be?  Now put me
back!  I'm in the middle of teaching a class here!"

Taki pressed one of the blisters on the side, and the
face began to fade.  "Oh, no!  They stole my shorts
and are playing badminton with them again!" it managed
to yell before disappearing completely.

Taki looked up and noticed everyone staring at him.

"What the heck was that?" a girl asked.

<Oh, please,> Taki prayed, <make them look somewhere
else...  anywhere but here...>

18. As rapid events flew by, the teacher's skirt, a PE coach's soul getting

stolen, and a ghost appearing and frightening someone she didn't know,
Celene 
sighed and thought, Oh my, what a strange place this is. I hope Masako
is 
alright... She turned and looked at Masako, his beautiful long hair and

feminine features nearly made her drool, but she caught her mouth and
stop 
staring, because he hated that. Celene looked around and saw a glue
flying in 
the air. Then she mumbled, "Very interesting..and bizarre.." ,and
stretched 
elegantly, waiting for homeroom to be dismissed.

19. Micalla was starting to get whiplash. This homeroom is definitely
weird 
she concludes to herself and curses her luck at having ended up in it.
Just 
then she feels her sunglasses start to slip. A flash of blue lights up
the 
back of the person in front of her before she has a chance to fix them.

Wincing at the daylight that just penetrated her eyes Micalla feels the
start 
of a headache and devoutly wishes herself back home. "Stupid parents on
their 
stupid diplomatic mission..." she mutters to herself. The bell rings 
signaling the end of homeroom and Micalla gathers her things and
stands, 
waiting for the others to go out ahead of her so that she can follow
them. 
She figured that they would know where the gym was. 

20. "Finally, I gotta get out of hereŠ." He turned to 
Mika. "Um, I-Iıll meet you at the gym, I gotta get 
there before all the track positions are gone. See ya 
later." He got up and he finally noticed his glue 
bottle floating in the air. "Yipe." He grabbed the 
bottle out of the air before the teacher saw it, and 
stuffed it in his bag again. "I gotta get outta here!" 
He took off and a cloud of smoke was left behind. 
In about 5 minutes, he was on the seventh floor and 
was heading for the gym.  

21. At this time most of the class, including Mika, were either looking
out 
the window or at Taki.
It wasnıt surprising, because she travelled so far yesterday to get to 
Kuzuru, that Ryoko had fallen to sleep at her desk along with most of
the 
rest of the class. With her sleeping, Lucy decided to reappear and
start 
playing tricks again. Being only eight sheıs very playful. Jin, felt
another 
tap on his shoulder, this time he sat still.
Jin gritted his teeth and closed his eyes; ³Not again,² he squeaked
slowly 
turning round. He opened his eyes and looked into the slightly
transparent, 
light blue face of Lucy who was hovering behind him.
³Boo,² said Lucy smiling.
A small noise came from the back of Jinıs throat, he turned white and
froze. 
Then he found his voice; ³Ghost!²
Everyone in the class, including the teacher, turned towards Jin again.
But 
instead of embarrassment he felt victorious inside, the ghost could
take the 
blame for what had gone on earlier. However Lucy had already vanished.
Jinıs 
embarrassment was welcomed back.
³Mr. Tekken do you need to see the nurse?² asked Mrs. Torukoruko.
³MaybeŠ² mumbled Jin. The class got back to what they were doing.
³Somethingıs going on hereŠ² said Jin not noticing that his small glue 
bottle was floating out of his bag and into the air.

22. The bell woke Ryoko up and she slowly stood up as the rest of the
class 
were walking out the door. She picked up her books and her rucksack and

followed the rest of the class out of homeroom into the hall. The cat
bell 
around her neck jingled as she looked for the locker number matching
the key 
she was given.
Ryoko looked at her key and then the locker; ³Locker 13, oh goodie,²
she 
mumbled. She unlocked the locker and to her surprise Elvis Presley
walked 
out and said; ³Thank you very much.²
ŒThe kingı disappears down the hall and Lucy pops up.
Ryoko just blinked a couple of times and dismissed the strange
occurrence.
³Errr Lucy where Iım I supposed to be now, I think I fell to sleep?²
asked 
Ryoko putting her books in the locker.
Lucy didnıt seem to be listening, she was busy concentrating on making
a 
school textbook float out of homeroom.
³Lucy?²
Lucyıs concentration was broken and the book fell out of the air and
onto 
Yoshiıs head.
³Ouch.²
³Damn, I was after Jin with that, after he foiled my glue plan,² sighed

Lucy.
³Stop messing about,² said Ryoko to Lucy. Then she walked to Yoshi;
³Are you 
alright?²
³Yeah, donıt know where this book came from though,² wondered Yoshi.
³Never mindŠ Iım Ryoko Takabe.²
³Hi, Iım Yoshi Takezawa.²
³Nice to meet you, by any chance do you know what class weıre in now?²
³Sure,² said Yoshi, ³we have to go to the gym on the sixth floor.²
Yoshi then looked past Ryoko; ³You do know thereıs a ghost behind you, 
right?²
³Itıs alright, sheıs quite friendly.²
Lucy floated over to him and shook his hand; ³Iım Lucy pleased to meet
ya.²
Yoshi gazed at his hand; ³She can do that?²
³Yep, Lucyıs learned how to touch things, but she has to concentrate,² 
explained Ryoko.
³I see.²
Lucy floated behind Ryoko and whispered something to her.
Ryoko turned a bit red then asked; ³Can you show me where the gym is 
please?²

23. ChiChi came back through the door way to get her books before the
next bell
rang, only to see a book fall on Yoshi's head and a blue transparent
matter
floating around Yoshi and that girl! ChiChi, seeing the look on that
girl's
face, got really jealous. She quickly flew back, got her books and shot
up the
hall way to catch up with Yoshi. "YOSHI!! YOSHI-SAN!!!" she called as
she flew
faster. Yoshi and Ryoko turned around, just in time to see nobody.
Puzzled, they
both turned around to continue on their way to Gym. But Standing right
in front
of them was ChiChi. Surprised they both jumped back a few feet. But
ChiChi just
stood there with a smile, looking at Yoshi. ChiChi, very boldly said,
"Yoshi?
You will show ME where the Gym is, won't you?" She gave him a bigger
smile and a
little giggle.

24. After having witnessed several oddities, such as Taki's device
summoning the 
gym teacher's soul and the drunkard Sakeko seeing a mutated cow, Masako

slumped in his chair and sighed sadly. 

"It's only been my first day and I can already tell this place is going
to be 
the bane of my existence..."

The boy seemed to slump even more after hearing the bell ring, but soon
he 
giggled wickedly and pulled out his compact. After selecting various
items 
from it, including a tube of lipstick labelled "Positively Purple", he
began 
to rapidly apply the makeup and within moments appeared totally 
indistinguishable from a girl, aside from his school uniform.

25. Jin made it to gym and was the first in line for track. 
In fact, he was the first in line for anything. He 
signed up for track. Since the only thing to do that 
period was to sign up for a sport, Jin had nothing 
else to do. He walked over to the gym wall, away 
from all the places to sign up, and just as he leaned 
against the wall, people started coming in. "Thatıs 
one good thing about being fast, you donıt have to wait 
in lines often." He took his portable CD player out 
of his bag, and put in one of his custom CDs, which 
the first song on it was "LipLock" by Lit. After a 
few minutes, the song just got to him and he started 
singing in English with the CD softly. "Š.If I could 
get another chance, Iıd put it in a LipLock bag 
and keep it in pocket, keep it in pocket, keep it in 
my pocketŠ."

26. Awakened a bit more by the melodious school bell signaling the next
class, 
Torisia pulled herself up and out of her seat, casting a glance to the 
giggling Masako as she headed for the door, followed closely by an
equally 
lazy Celene. She yawned, stretching her arms as she walked towards the
gym, 
"accidently" hitting Celene in the process. 

She paused at the gym doors, gnawing on her black-painted lips
thoughtfully. 
She wasn't worried a bit about the class, as long as it involved
anything but 
baseball. Torisia hated baseball with a passion. Anything at all but
that...

Torisia looked at Masako again, arching an eyebrow at his suddenly
feminine 
appearance. He was plotting something, and she leaned against a wall to

watch, forgetting her purpose here for signing up.

27. Mr. Tezuko looked around in satisfaction.  All
around him, the students were happily milling about
signing up for the various sports, and he began to
hope that Kuzuru High might have some winning teames
this year.

He noticed two students hanging back, though; one with
black wings and the other with sunglasses.  They
seemed to be arguing.

"Hey, you two, you're now officially on-" he looked
around to find a table with fewer people in line- "the
baseball team.  I'm sure you'll have a great time."

Mr. Tezuko looked away from the duo, who had turned to
face him with incredulous looks on their faces. 
<problem solved,> he thought, turning back to beam an
exuberant smile at the rest of the student body that
was filing into the gym.

28. After a few minutes, Jin put away his CD player and was about ready to
drift 
off to sleep, until he felt something was missing. His eyes snapped
open. He 
looked up. 

"Aw man, not again! Where is it now?!" He looked around, then saw his
cap 
floating near a group of people. "There it is!" He ran over and made a
dive 
for the cap, but it lifted above him at the last second and he missed.
He 
slid across the floor until he hit the wall 
(-1 bonk), next to Chi-Chi, Yoshi, and Ryoko. He laid on the floor
dazed, 
then looked up to see his cap floating above him. His eyes turned blood
red 
and he growled. "THATıS IT! THAT TEARS IT!" He jumped up and faced his
hat. 
"IıM PISSED NOW!" He then started to run around the hat in circles, and
the 
hat seemed to spin, trying to watch him. Jin kept going faster and
faster 
until he was a red and blue blur. Then he screeched to a stop. As the
hat, or 
rather as the thing that was holding the hat, was dizzy and distracted,
Jin 
pulled out a red yo-yo from his pocket. He shot it at the hat and it
wrapped 
around the hat. Then he pulled it back to him. He unwrapped the string
from 
the hat and put it back on. Jin looked at where the cap was last
floating. 
"IıVE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS! SHOW YOURSELF RIGHT NOW AND TELL ME WHY
YOUıRE 
MAKING MY FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL A LIVING HELL!!!"

29. Micalla followed the last of the students up to the gym and
carefully 
looked over the various sports offered. Shrugging she steps into the
line for 
the swim team. "Im pretty good at that at least." she says to herself.
Once 
she's all set, Micalla goes and sits by the wall where a few of the
students 
are gathering. 

Watching the spectacle that is Jin, she giggles to herself. "Well that
boy 
certainly knows how to run...." she says watching a bit admiringly.

30. Yoshi wasnıt sure if his situation with the two girls was a good
one or 
a bad one. He heard it happened to a kid last year and there was
non-stop 
laser firing over him, which blew up most of the school as well as his
home. 
He was sure ChiChi liked him but wasnıt sure about Ryoko.
Thankfully the journey up the stairs was fine but Ryoko did test the
waters 
with a question to ChiChi; ³Youıre not a demon are you?²
³No I come from the planet Vogo,² she replied.
³Oh good,² was all Ryoko said.
Yoshi finally walked into the gym, both girls at either side of him.
ChiChi grabbed Yoshi and dragged him to one of the sign up desks; ³Come
on 
Yoshi, I want you to help me sign up for this.²
Ryoko stayed near the entrance a bit sad. Lucy phased in.
³So you like him?² she asked.
³I donıt know,² said Ryoko, ³it would be nice to have a boyfriend. The
last 
one, the only one, ended up being an evil wizard out for world
domination.²
³But that ChiChiıs in the way! Letıs get her!² said Lucy excitedly.
³No, we canıt and donıt you mess with her. I want to do it the normal
way.²
³OK,² said Lucy sadly, she liked using her ghost powers.
The gym was starting to fill up so Ryoko decided to sign up for
basketball 
before it was too late.
Meanwhile Lucy saw Jin leaning against a wall singing.
³She told me to leave ChiChi alone, but she didnıt say anything about
Jin,² 
said Lucy giggling to herself as she phased out and disappeared.

31. Jin didnıt really mind that she called herself a demon hunter,
weirder 
things have happened that day. Jinıs smiled faded a bit after a few
moments. 
"Iım really sorry for getting mad at your friend. Please tell her Iım
really 
sorry for yelling at her. I just wanted to have a perfect first day at 
schoolŠ. I should have known that it probably wouldnıt happen. Oh, I
donıt 
really think we met yet. My nameıs Jin Tekken."

"Oh, mine is Ryoko Takebe." Ryoko replied. 

"Thatıs a nice nameŠ. Hmm, whatıs this?" He pointed to something she
was 
wearing. "It kinda looks like a cat bell."

32. Celene muttered as Torisia smacked her and almost hit her back, but she
left 
too quickly. She looked around and saw that the majority of everyone
was 
going into the Gym, so she followed. 

Looking around at all of the differant teams to sign up for, Celene
decided 
she would go on the swim team. For one reason, she looked very, very
nice in 
a bathing suit, and she could swim pretty well. She signed up for it
then saw 
Masako looking for feminine and beautiful. "What's he doing? There's no
one 
to flirt with here..but..hmm.." Celene quietly approached him, but
tried not 
to bother him and waited instead.

33. ³Come on show yourself,² repeated Jin, he noticed a few of the
students 
looking at him, ³please.²
Lucy came into view above Jin. Ryoko just put her hand on her face; ³I
canıt 
take her anywhere.²
Jinıs eyes bugged; ³Whaa? You again?² Now he knew he wasnıt just seeing

things in homeroom.
Lucy floated down to Jin, close up to his face; ³Youıre funny.²
³Youıre a ghost right?²
³Yep, Iım Lucy.²
³Why me, why donıt you pick on someone else?² asked Jin.
³You were the nearest in homeroom. Anyway, Iım not picking on you, Iım
just 
playing,² said the ghost with big eyes almost crying.
Jin suddenly felt bad; ³I canıt yell at her anymore.²
Ryoko took Jin to one side as Lucy disappeared.
³Look, donıt be hard on Lucy. We used to be neighbours in my old
village, 
and even though she was eight, she tried to help me destroy a monster
that 
killed her parents. However it also killed her, but because of her
anger she 
couldnıt rest and came back as a sprit. Since then sheıs decided to
keep me 
company. She didnıt mean to piss you off, she just very playful, and
itıs 
what gets her by.²
Jin just nodded and said; ³I understand.²
A tear appeared in Ryokoıs eye as she remembered the sad day. She
quickly 
turned around so Jin wouldnıt see; ³Anyway, as a demon hunter I need
more 
training. I might sign up for baseball and swimming as well as
basketball.²
Jin just smiled and walked her to other desks.

34. Ryoko tapped the cat bell, that was hanging around her neck on a
bit of 
red and white string, with her index finger and it chimed.
³Well,² answered Ryoko, ³it is a cat bell.²
Ryoko looked saddened then a bit angry; ³I was young then and didnıt
have 
enough experience. I canıt believe I got cursed by thatŠ thatŠ²
Jin didnıt have a clue what she was on about.
³My parents gave it to meŠ²
Jin thought he knew why she was upset; ³Did your parents die like
Lucyıs?²
³No, they still fight the demons back home but itıs much calmer now
ŒThe 
Evil Oneı is gone. Thatıs why I could get some time to come to a
school.²
³Then why are you sad?² asked Jin.
Ryoko decided she could trust Jin and lowered her voice; ³Itıs what the
bell 
stands for. Itıs to remind me to keep on my toes and remember the curse
I 
have. It was originally given to me so my parents could recognise me
from 
other cats.²
³Huh?² said Jin a bit lost, ³did you say cats?²
³ErrrŠ yeah I was cursed by the beast Ryoıneko. This curse turns me
into a 
little blue cat.²
Jin accepted this fine and was more curious; ³When do you change?²
Ryoko sighed; ³I havenıt figured it out yet. Itıs pretty random, I
donıt 
think there is a pattern. Anyway can you try to keep it a secret?²
³Of course,² said Jin.
Ryoko didnıt bother mentioning that the cat bell was the only thing
that 
stayed on after a transformation.

35. "Um, is there anyway you could get Lucy to come back? I would like
to 
apologize to her in person instead." Jin asked.

36. ³Sure, Lucyıs probably floating around here. Lucy normally follows
me 
but goes off when she feels like it. Sheıs just invisible now but she
can 
hear people and do things. Iım sure if you call out her name she will 
appear.²

37. After helping Chi-chi sign up for a sport
(swimming, of course...  He was wondering why all the
girls wanted to try it), he signed up for the baseball
team, which was probably the only sport he was any
good at.  Admittedly, his hitting was average, but he
played a great second base.  

After he had finished, he began to go to his next
class when he was stopped by the girl with the blue
hair.

"Do you know what the next class is?" she asked.

"Yeah, it's Chemistry.  Basically, you get to mix
chemicals together and see what happens.  The teacher
is pretty scatterbrained.

"Great!"  She looked at him with a hint of confusion. 
"Uh, where is it?"  

"Second floor, thrid door on the right after the
stairway."

"DO you mind if I follow you there? she asked.  

"No, I guess you can come along..."  he paused for a
second, remembering what he had seen.  "Is that
translucent blue thing going to follow us too?"

38. ³Thatıs OK,² said Lucy, ³I was just being silly anyway, Iım sorry
too.²
Ryoko went between them to put her hands on both their shoulders, but
her 
hand went straight though Lucy; ³Anyway now thatıs sorted, would you
mind 
helping me and Lucy later with something later next lesson Jin?²
³Sure, what is it?² asked Jin.
³Youıll find out later,² said Ryoko.
³Err, what is next lesson anyway?² asked Lucy.
³Donıt know, letıs ask Yoshi heıll know,² said Ryoko.
Suddenly the three saw something across the hall...

39. The next period bell rang and Celene exited the gym, wondering why the
class 
time was so short for gym and so long for homeroom. She climbed up the
stairs 
and to the floor of the chemistry lab. "Won't this class be
fun..someone'll 
probably screw with something and blow the entire room to pieces.."
Walking 
carefully to the classroom, she heard the teacher complaining about the

students and something about the beginning of the year, either way,
Celene 
knew she didn't like this teacher, and probably won't like /any/ of
them. She 
sighed and entered the classroom, her pose nice and straight, with her 
breasts out, but not so much as she would fall over, just making a good

impression. She smiled to the teacher, "Good morning," and walked to a
desk 
in the back of the room and sat. Celene crossed her long and elegant
legs and 
waited for class to start.

40. Time pasted in the gym and the bell for next lesson had gone. Yoshi
lead 
Ryoko, Jin and Lucy to chemistry class. The teacher was furiously
waiting at 
the door; ³Where the hell have you been, and whereıs the rest?²
The four walked in not answering, the classroom was full of desks with 
assorted items on them. The only other person in the classroom was Taki

sitting right at the back messing with something.
The teacher continued complaining; ³Where are the rest of the class?
They 
should be here, this is not the way to start the year.²
³Most of them are still in the gym or walking here,² said Yoshi.
Ryoko decided to take a seat nearest to the door and Yoshi and Jin
found 
there places. Then a few more students entered.
"About time, now we can start a lesson," said the teacher.

41. Jin took a seat next to Ryoko. He turned to Ryoko. "So, what was
the 
thing you wanted me to help you with?" Ryoko was about to answer when
someone 
sat down next to Jin. 

"Jin?"

Jin turned. "YesŠ.? Oh! Hi Mika! Sorry I didnıt talk to you at gym, but
I 
didnıt see you there. Oh yeahŠ." He turned to Ryoko. " Mika, this is
Ryoko. 
Ryoko, this is Mika."

42. As the teacher continued to bable to the few students sitting in
the
room about the others missing, ChiChi flew in through the window, and
floated for a little bit loking at all of the desks, deciding where to
site. The the teacher piped up "You there...uh...you the flying girl,
ummm where are you supposed to be?" ChiChi just looked at her and said
"Why, right here ma'am. Why, is there a problem?" The teacher kind of
stumbled backwards a little bit as ChiChi flew up to her. She looked at
the teacher and turned around and looked at the desks again.Ahh Hah!
There was a desk right next to Yoshi and just her luck, right near the
window, good to make a quick entrance from Swimming. She took her seat
next to Yoshi, and smiled at him. She said to him "Oh Yoshi! Thank you
so much for helping me sign up for Swimming! I just love it! Will you
come and watch me at some of the meets?"

43. Masako stood and examined himself in the mirror of his compact, making
sure 
that in his haste that he hadn't done a sloppy job. Soon he was
approached by 
a girl, who he recognized as Sakeko the drunkard. Upon hearing her 
complements he tossed his hair back, smiled, and looked slightly
arrogant, 
though he was quite worried that she and Torisia might meet up and have
a 
drinking contest in the family mansion.

"Isn't it the truth?" Masako said while giggling. "Yes, this is
Positively 
Purple, one of my favorite shades. I've signed up for badminton. I do
hope 
they don't regularly play with the gym teacher's..."

The boy was suddenly cut off by the sound of the bell, and the sound of

students leaving the room to go off to chemistry class.

"Chemistry class! Okaa-sama is good at that sort of thing... I might
just be 
able to start my own variety of lipstick if I have half her skill. I'll
see 
you there!" Immediately after saying those words Masako ran off towards
the 
chemestry class room.

44. Before Yoshi could answer the question ChiChi's question, the blob
came
flying towards them. ChiChi jumped up and began to shoot the blob with
her blue
fire balls, as it came closer to her and Yoshi.

45. "Ridiculously rich..." Sakeko mumbled to herself as Masako walked
to
the front of the room, mixing this and that to form a nice lavenderish
colour.  Somehow, the blob had grown into a large size.  Sakeko
wondered
what to do as she watched Masako walk out the door and coming back in,
after a scream is heard outside the door.
     "I wonder if the underground government would like this blob...." 
Taking this chance of confusion, she walked out the door and took out
her
cell-phone.  Sakeko then walked by the window and opened it for a
better
reception as she pressed the 1st speed-dial button and was soon
connected
with the Head of Security.  
     "Hey boss, there's this green blob that this girl made in my chem
class.  Should I capture it for the labs to study?  I believe it can be
a
potential weapon."
     "Hmmm...yes, capture it.  And about this girl that made this
blob...you sure she's not working for some secret organization?"
     "Don't know...she did say her parents are ridiculously rich. 
Maybe
her parents are part of the RRPWWTTOTW."
     "Right...keep and eye on her."
     "Okay, I'll get right to the blob...and keep watch of this
girl...but she is cute.  Anyway, bye." <click>
     Sakeko sneeked back into class, observing the the chaos in the
room,
some girl was firing blue fireballs at it.  Sakeko put on gloves, and
apron, and goggles.  *Always be safe,* Sakeko thought to herself,
grabbing a bunsen burner in her right hand and a large tray with her
left, she procedded to the front of the room, ready for battle.
     "Hey blob...I'm here to tame you.  Get ready to eat fire," Sakeko
said as she attached a rubber tube to the bunsen burner on one end and
the other to the a gas faucet, turned the faucet on, and lighted the
burner.  

Note: RRPWWTTOTW means Ridiculously Rich People Who Want To Take Over The World

46. Arriving at class with her usual lazy tardiness, Torisia just stood at
the 
doorway, her crystal blue eyes falling upon the blob in disgust. "Now 
really," she said to no one in particular, "what kind of way is this to
start 
class?" 

Her eyes lit up at the sight of Sakeko and the bunsen burner, as if
she's 
just spotted the love of her life. "Fire..." she purred, suddenly
wondering 
of the blob was very flammable. Producing a beer bottle and match from
behind 
her back, Torisia took a big gulp of the alcohol, then spit it towards
the 
blob, setting the flying liquid on fire. It was the closest thing to a
flame 
thrower she could get her hands on, since her trusty weapon had been
left at 
home. Oh well, she knew better than to leave her toys at home now.

47. Now with the help of the girl, with the beer (Torisia) and that
drunkard from
before (Sakeko), ChiChi and the other two were able to neutralize the
"Blob" for
the time being. ChiChi sht a few more blue fire balls at it as it
started to back
down and retreat into the vial.

48. "Now thatıs something you donıt see everyday, but then again, Iıve been

seeing things like this every 5 minutes since school startedŠ." Jin
laughed 
to himself. He turned to Mika. "Mika, you know Ryoko. She sits next to
me in 
homeroom." He turned to Ryoko. "And Mika sits on the other side of me.
What a 
coincidence we sit like that here tooŠ." Then it just hit him. Two
girls, who 
were both attractive, were sitting on each side of him in two classes.
He 
wasnıt nervous at first because Mika seemed a little nervous herself
when 
they first met. And he wasnıt nervous when he first met Ryoko because
she 
seemed pretty nice when she didnıt get mad at him for yelling at Lucy
and he 
treated her like a regular friend, but this was a little much for Jin.
He 
turned to Mika nervously. "S-so, what did you sign up for in the gym? 
R-Ryoko, signed up f-forŠ.umŠ.oh yeah, baseball, swimming, and
basketball."

49. Celene flashed Masako and attractive smile and was about to say
something but 
was interrupted by the presence of Sakeko. "Grrr.. why must the girls
always 
talk to him?" She sighed and waited for Masako to pay attention to her
again, 
but then the teacher called him up and he made a big blob form in the 
classroom. When Masako returned to his seat Celene smile at him and
said, 
"Great work, I couldn't have done better myself." She then decided she
would 
give him something, "Comko, purple rose." A beautiful purple rose
appeared in 
her hand, it looked like it was shimmering from the inside and seemed
very 
delicate. She placed the rose in front of him and waited for his
reaction.

50.  Sakeko blinked at the sudden action of the girl that charred the
blob with alcohol and fire. Sakeko blushed in thanks (and equally
shocked
at alcohol being used in the manner).  By the time she turned back, the
girl with blue flames was able to tame the blob back back into the
tube.
     "Great!" Sakeko yelled out, quickly taking a rubber stopper and
sticking into the tube.  She quickly bowed toward the
still-shocked-and-amazed-chem-teacher and asked if she could keep the
specimin for her own private study.  The teacher quickly nodded in a
way
as if she (or he?) had just over-dosed on medicine. 
     "Thanks!"  Sakeko smiled, stuffing the tube into one of her
pockets
in her jacket.  She turned to ChiChi and smiled.  "Cool flames,
girlfriend!  My name is Sakeko Inori.  And love the hair!"  
      Before ChiChi could respond, Sakeko spotted the beer bottle still
in Torisia's hand and seductively whispered, "Mind if you share?"

51. ³I signed up for swimming too,² said Mika.
Mika and Ryoko looked at each other for a while and then at Jin
in-between 
them. They were both kind of shy so they just smiled at each other and
sat 
back. Every so often one of the girls would look across to see what the

other one was doing.
<The only thing that asked me out last year was that gross Weird
Glbrht, but 
not this year, Iım going out with a real man,> thought Mika.
Ryoko just kept looking up at Jin, blushing and then looking back at
her 
desk.

52. Jin pulled his hat down to cover some of his red face. He was in
quite a 
spot. He looked down at his desk, but turned to one side once in a
while to 
see what one of the two girls where doing. Mostly they were doing the
same 
thing as him, and occasionally, when he made eye contact with one of
them, he 
would quickly look back down at his desk and turn even redder. He
leaned back 
in his chair. "This is gettinı me nowhereŠ." Then he felt something on
his 
head. He looked up and saw Lucyıs light blue face staring down at him.
"Ah!" 
He fell back and hit the ground, while Lucy hovered above him.

"Hi Jin!" Lucy said giggling slightly. Jin shook his head and looked up
from 
the floor.

"Oh, hi Lucy. Um, could you not sneak up on me like that anymore?" Jin
asked 
smiling slightly.

53. "Why is your face all red?" asked Lucy innocently.
Jin didn't have an answer for that one and the question made Ryoko and
Mika 
turn red too.
"Err... it's nothing really, it's just hot in here," said Jin
nervously.
Lucy wasn't sure if he was telling the truth because as a ghost she
couldn't 
feel anything. She floated near Ryoko; "Why are you being so quiet, I 
thought you would have jumped up to challenge that blob."
"What blob?" asked Ryoko.
Lucy looked shocked; "What! You mean you didn't notice it?"
"Not really, I was....thinking."
The thing between the two girls and Jin seemed to go over Lucy's head,
being 
only eight, but she knew something strange was going on.

54. "OhŠmanŠ Why me?" Jin quickly got back up and buried his head into
one of 
his notebooks, hiding his extremely red face. He just kept his face in
his 
book, hoping that girl would just get bored and go away. "This is
really 
embarrassingŠ."

55. As ChiChi was about to respond in saying "Oh thank you!" to the
compliment, Sakeko was Chugging down the beer bottle. ChiChi just
blinked her
eyes as if she didn't understand. ChiChi asked Sakeko "What is that?"
Being
new to the planet, ChiChi did not know what alcohol was. Sakeko looked
over
and said "It's Beer." ChiChi looked at the smile on Sakeko's face after
she
took a big long drank. <Hmm this thing called alcohol must taste pretty
good.
I think I will try it...> ChiChi thought to herself. ChiChi then asked
Sakeko
"May I have a sip?" Sakeko handed her the bottle and she took a huge
gulp.
::Hiccup:: ChiChi's face turned from the curious alien to the drunken
girl
with magic powers.  ChiChi started to fly all around yelling
"Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!'
She did Loop-dee-Loops and other flipping type things in the air. She
just
giggled and flew around the class, making quite a spectacle of herself.

56. Yoshi was attempting to work on a small science
project, basically an advanced version of the
elementary-school papier-mache volcano with baking
soda and vinegar; only with this one, Yoshi was trying
to use something closer to real lava.  As the blob
flew past his head, the final vial of chemicals fell
in before he was ready.

57. Mika was sitting in her chair, happy about the
prospects of getting a normal date this year.  With
her only threat turned into a small blue cat, the
possibilities were getting greater every minute... but
she couldn't get up the nerve to talk to him.  

Suddenly, there was a loud popping sound, and a large
droplet of molten rock splashed down inches away from
her.  Shrieking in terror, she tried to dive out of
the way... and fell on top of Jin.

58. Jin once again hit the floor, but this time it wasnıt his fault. He
was a 
bit dazed, but he shook his head and once he got his senses back he
realized 
that he was staring right into Mikaıs face. Then he realized that she
was on 
top of him. His face turned as red as his cap. Mika turned red too,
then 
quickly got off of Jin.

"Iım s-sorryŠ." Mika stammered.

"I-itıs alright, it was an accidentŠ." Jin got up, then went over and
helped 
Mika up, still blushing slightly. After he helped Mika into her seat,
Jin 
went over to Ryoko. He looked over at her, then her clothes. "Hoo boy,
I hope 
you donıt change again until class is over and I can get you to the
bathroom 
to change, or I may die of a nosebleedŠ." He went over and picked up
her 
clothes and put them on her desk. He looked down at Ryoko. "Well, I
donıt 
think I should just leave you down on the floorŠ." He picked her up and
put 
her on his desk. "Lay down low, and the teacher may not notice youŠ."
Jin 
patted her head. "Donıt worry, youıll be alright here. I just wish
there was 
something I could do about thisŠ."

59. As ChiChi flew about the room, the teacher just watched her...and
watched
her...and watched her, as diziness set in. She plunked right down into
her chair
and looked around the class. "You there! Jin isn't it? Will you please
go to the
Teacher's Lounge and get some coffee for our little drunk friend here?"
 Jin
gulped, looked at the low laying kitty and back up at the teacher.
"Uhh....." Jin
stammered. The teacher staired at Jin. "Well are you going to do it or
not, Mr.
Tekken?" Jin looked at the cat again and said "Yes Ma'am." He got up
from his
desk. Th little cat meowed quietly in curiosity. Jin looked back at the
cat and
smiled. ChiChi still flying around, "drunk as a skunk," quietly snuck
up behind
the teacher as she watched Jin walk out the door. Then...Whoosh! Off
the two
went! ChiChi had lifted the teacher up out of her chair and was flying
around the
room laughing and hiccuping. The entire class stopped to watch as
ChiChi took the
teacher from under her arms and flew right out the window with her.
"Bye Now!"
ChiChi said with a smile as she flew right out with the teacher
screaming for
dear-life right below her.

60. After a few minutes, Jin came back with a mug of coffee. He looked
around 
and saw the whole class at the window.

"HmmŠ. Whatıs everyone looking at? And whereıs the teacher and ChiChi?"
He 
put the mug on the teacherıs desk, and was about to go over to the
window and 
he saw a beaker with some red power in it and a bowl with a blue
chemical in 
it. Usually, Jin would just walk away and leave them alone, but since
the 
teacher was gone and everyone else was distracted, he just couldnıt
resist. 
He went over to the chemicals. "HmmŠ. I wonder what would happen if I
mixed 
some red stuff, with some blue stuff?" He took the beaker and poured
the red 
power into the bowl. Suddenly, the bowl started shaking. "Uh-ohŠ." He
quickly 
ducked underneath the desk. Then, purple powder shot out of the bowl
and 
covered everything in the front end of the room. Jin poked his head up
from 
the behind the table. "Hmm, powdered donut. HehŠ." He quickly went back
to 
his desk as if nothing happened. Then he turned slightly to see Ryoko
on his 
desk, staring at him. "What?"

61. ³Get down from there!² yelled the teacher to ChiChi, ³Iım trying to

teach a class.²
ChiChi just kept flying about and laughing.
³Ya canıt hack it like me,² said Sakeko.
Lucy decided the scene was fun and joined in by flying about the
classroom 
with ChiChi.
Ryoko groaned at this, she was supposed to be trying to get an
education. 
(Like thatıs going to happen. Ha ha.)
Jin watched as Ryoko got up too stop Lucy messing about. She took one
step 
then stopped, her eyes widened slightly.
::Ahhchoo!:: Ryoko sneezed and in a puff of white dust she disappeared
and 
was replaced by a small light blue and white cat floating in mid-air.
The 
cat fell on the floor and meowed sadly. She still had her cat bell
around 
her neck but the rest of her clothes had fallen to the floor.
Lucy saw Ryoko in cat form and dived towards her; ³Sheıs so cute.²
³What the?² exclaimed Jin.
³Meow,² said Ryoko.

62. "What do you mean what?" said Lucy, "She can't talk, the only
people who 
understand her are other cats and certain aliens."
"Why she staring at me?" asked Jin.
Lucy explained; "I think it's because you picked her up. You see, even 
though she's a cat now she still has her brain. You know memories, 
intelligence, skill blah blah. She could have made it on the table
herself."
"I see," said Jin.
"Or it was because YOU picked her up," smiled Lucy.
Ryoko meowed happily and Jin smiled. Mika, however, didn't find it cute
or 
funny.
Lucy cast her mind back to when her and Ryoko-chan used to play cards, 
betting with people who thought she was a normal cat.

63. Yoshi looked around the room in confusion.  In
light of the teacher's abscence, the entire class
seemed to be embarking on ridiculous science
experiments, except for Ryoko and Chichi, who were
nowhere to be seen.  There was a blue cat sitting on
Ryoko's desk, maybe a result of one of the
experiments, Yoshi guessed <ooc: he didn't really see
Ryoko's sudden transformation>.  Just when he was
afraid that someone would blow up the sceince lab, yet
again, the bell mercifully rang.  Upon hearing it,
most of the students burst from the classroom, and
Yoshi was swept along with them.  As he made it to the
hallway, a sizeable amount of fire shot from the
doorway, sending with it a few slightly scorched TAs,
who luckily were wearing asbestos lab-coats for just
such a contingency.

"Ah, well, it's finally time for lunch.  Maybe all
this lunacy will take a break now that there aren't
any teachers around..."

Of course, given his history of finding trouble, he
sincerely doubted that this would be the case.

64. Jin gave a sigh of relief. "WhewŠ." He looked at Ryoko. "Okay,
letıs get 
you to the bathroom before you change back." He went over and kneeled
down. 
"Climb on my shoulder." Ryoko-chan hesitated for a moment, then nodded
and 
climbed onto his shoulder. He went over and picked up Ryokoıs clothes.
He 
turned when he walked pass Mika. "MikaŠ. I-Iıll find you at lunch after
I 
help Ryoko. See you then." Then he walked out of the room and Lucy
followed, 
without Jin knowing. 

As Jin walked to the girlıs bathroom, Jin thought to himself. "Man, I
donıt 
know what to doŠ. Iım not absolutely sure, but if both of the girls
like me, 
what am I suppose to do so I wonıt hurt the otherıs feelingsŠ." Jinıs 
thoughts stopped as he reached the girlıs bathroom. "Okay, weıre here."
He 
kneeled down and Ryoko-chan jumped off. "Okay, nowŠ." Suddenly,
Ryoko-chanıs 
eyes widened looking like she was going to sneeze again. "Nonononono!
Not 
yet!" He put his finger under her nose to try and stop her from
sneezing. 
"WhewŠ." He pulled back his finger back and took out Ryokoıs clothes.
"Now 
weŠ." Suddenly, Ryoko-chan sneezed and was surrounded in a puff of
white 
dust. Jin fell back in surprise and dropped his bag and Ryokoıs
clothes. 
"OofŠ." Jin sat up and rubbed his head. "OwŠ." Jinıs eyeıs widened as
he 
looked down and saw a feminine shadow next to him. Instinctively, he
looked 
up to see what it was.

65. Ryoko couldnıt talk and just tried to cover herself as much as she 
could. Jinıs embarrassment kicked in as he saw the naked girl only
wearing a 
cat bell and put his hands over his eyes. Ryoko quickly bent over and 
grabbed her clothes from of the floor and dived into a cubicle closing
the 
door.
Jin, now with a full-on nosebleed, took a little peek from between his 
fingers to see if the coast was clear. What he ended up seeing was
Lucy.
³Agggh! Why do you keep doing that?²
Lucy looked at Jinıs face and a huge smile appeared on hers.
³Your nose is bleeding, youıve been a bad boy havenıt you Jinny,² said
Lucy.
³No, really it was accident, I must have hit the floor,² tried Jin.
³Admit it,² said Lucy.
Jin bowed his head down; ²Sorry for being naughty.²
³There there,² said Lucy patting him on the shoulder.
CreakŠ
The cubicle door opened and out stepped Ryoko fully clothed. There was
a bit 
of silence but then Ryoko spoke; ³Errr thank you for bringing my
clothes, 
and it was a good idea bringing me to the bathroom. I would have died
if 
this happened in the middle of the lunch room.²
³Thatıs OK,² said Jin.
Suddenly the door to the girlıs bathroom swung openŠ

66. Taki, still intent ofn stealing the soul of Jerry
Lewis, wandered the hallway, paying more attention to
the device that where he was going.  Seeing the word
"Bathroom" out of the corner of his eye, he turned and
went in.  Looking around, he saw a boy and a girl
standing between the stalls, looking petrified.

<Well,> Taki thought to himself, <Now they've got
co-ed bathrooms.  I guess it's not that big of a
surprise.>  Nodding to the people, who were still
staring back as if petrified, he went to use one of
the stalls.

67. Yoshi stared back at the cafeteria lady who was
scowling at him.  After a few minutes of staring
angrily at each other, the cafeteria lady finally
broke the stare, turning away and ladling a large
mound of slightly puce glop onto a cracked plastic
tray.

"Here y'go, kid," The lady growled.  "Next!"

Sitting down at a deserted table, he began to pick at
the disgusting glop with a fork, not daring to put any
of it in his mouth.

Suddenly, a window shattered, and the teacher from
last period landed in a huge vat of "Cafeteria Clam
Surprise."  CHichi followed a moment later, looking
much more sober.

Back in line, Masako was arguing with the cafeteria
lady.  "This slop isn't even fit for peasants!" he
yelled.  "I demand something edible!"

Looking abck at his plate, Yoshi decided that the glob
probably wasn't all that edible, after all.  Tossing
it in a nearby trash can, he went over to say hello to
Chichi, who had finally landed and was relatively
steady on her feet.

68. Mika mashed at the puce glob on her plate in
frustration.  Just when she thought he was interested
in her, he had to go off with Ryoko!  <She's even a
cat right now!> Mika thought.  <Why does this always
happen to me?>

After waiting for a few minutes, in which Jin did not
show up, she began to get frustrated.  <Where is he? 
I bet he's doing something with Ryoko as I'm sitting
here!>  Well, if she could play that game...  Mika
began to smile, a plan forming in her mind.


69. As the door flew open to the bathroom, Jin gasped and scrambled to
find a
hiding place.In through the door flew a now green alien with spirally
eyes.
::Hiccup, Hiccup:: It was ChiChi. The happy high given to her from the
alcohol
had soon worn off, and now she was as sick as a dog. She didn't notice
any one
as she just flew in the bathroom and took a seat on the counter top.
"Ohhhhh
myyyyy heaaaaddd" she groaned.  Ryoko walked up to her and asked ChiChi
"Are you
ok?" ChiChi's gaze fell upon the girl with the cat bell. "Nooooooooooo"
she
groaned again. "I'm siiiick" ::Blahhhh::  Lucy flew up and said "Wow!
You look
horrible! I bet it was that beer you drunk, huh?" ChiChi screamed
"Shhhhhhhhh!!!!!  Make the spinning stop!! Uhhhhh" Jin got up while he
could and
scrambled out of the bathroom before anyone else came in. He ran into
the class
room and saw the warm cup of coffee on the teachers desk where he had
left it.
Taking a chance, Jin returned to the bathroom and gave the coffee to
ChiChi. She
took a few sips. Her face brightened up and she completely recovered.
But
something else was wrong as Jin, Ryoko, and Lucy watched ChiChi.  Her
pupils
became smaller and her actions were faster. She began to look around at
a fast
pace and then the moment came...as she looked at Jin she began to
speak...VERY
FAST!
"Oh.HiJin!Thankyouverymuchforthecoffee.Youknow,coffeemakesmehyper.Atleastthat'swhatsomepeoplesay!butIcan'ttell,canyou?Well,we'dbettergetgoingtolunchnow!heheheOksolet'sJET!"

ChiChi then flew off at a very high speed out the door and was gone in
a split
second.

70. Bang bang!
There were lots of screaming and loud noises as a gang of girls burst
though 
into the cafeteria chasing after Taki with heavy books.
"Get away from me you crazy girls!" yelled Taki, "I didn't know, leave
me 
alone or I'll deep freeze all your butts!"
"Hentai!!!"
The chase continued out of sight.
A few seconds later Ryoko and Lucy walked in. Lucy wondered to find Jin
and 
Ryoko went towards the line of students waiting for food.
Ryoko finally got to the front of the line meanwhile Lucy had found Jin

sitting next to Mika.
Lucy sat down opposite Jin leaving the seat next to him for Ryoko.
"Is Ryoko here?" asked Mika with a grin on her face.
"Yeah she just getting food," said Lucy.
"What about you?" asked Jin.
"I don't eat," said Lucy.

71. Jin rubbed the back of his neck. "Oh yeah, I should of realized 
thatŠ.hehŠ." Jinıs expression changed. "Uh, is RyokoŠ.alright nowŠ.I
mean 
aboutŠ.?" Jin looked up at Lucy, worried. He didnıt want anyone to hate
him. 
To him, hate is like rejection, and heıs not very good at being
rejected.

Mika started getting ticked off. "Now even that ghost is getting in the
way, 
just when he was going to start a conversation with me! I bet sheıs
doing 
this on purposeŠ." Mika thought. Then she kept on thinking of her plan

72. Mika glared at Ryoko, fuming with anger.  <I've
got to find a way to get rifd of her so I can talk to
Jin!> she thought.  Unfortunately, her plans wouldn't
work until later.  For the time being, she stared down
at the mess on the cafeteria tray, her cheeks turning
bright red.

73. Taki had quickly shapechanged into a generic trash
can as the angry horde of girls went by.  After they
had dissappeared around a corner, he shifted back. 
Pulling an empty chip container out of his hair, he
failed to notice that the device was beginning to glow
again.  After a few seconds, a man slowly faded into
view.

Taki turned and saw him.  "Yes!  I finally stole the
soul of Jerry Lewis!"

"PRETTY GIRLIES!" the man who looked like Jerry Lewis
yelled.

"Hmm, maybe I didn't get the settings right...  Oh! 
Now why did I have the 'pervert' dip-switch set? 
Well, no harm done... France will still be mine!"

Meanwhile, Jerry Lewis, perverted by the device, ran
madly into the cafeteria.
