Chapter 1: First day

'Tired'

Was the only thing going through Ragna's mind as he woke up to see the light on in his room. As his eyes gradually open he found his sister standing near the light switch. The platinum rubbed his eyes and sat up, groaning with a frog still in his throat, "Saya...why did you have to wake me up like that instead of just waking me up like a normal person?"

"I tried," the young blond sighed. "But you wouldn't get up. I've been trying to get you up for about 15 minutes now." Ragna's eyes began to adjust to the light in the room. With a groggy yawn and long stretch, he looked over at his clock. His eyes shoot open as he gasps at the time.

"Oh SHIT! We're gonna be late if we don't hurry!" he jumps out the bed and runs to the bathroom to brush his teeth.

"Now he notices…" Saya sighed and shook her head. "My brother…"

Ragna hurried to brush his teeth, got his clothes, then bolted downstairs to find Jin just finishing his breakfast.

"Brother, you're finally awake," Jin said as he put his dishes in the sink.

"So you tried to wake me up too?" Ragna asks with a groan, knowing the answer to the question all too well.

"Yes, however…" Jin started.

"Yeah, I know… I couldn't get up." Ragna groaned and walked towards the table with his breakfast already prepared. He plopped himself down and began to gobble down his food. Jin got up from the table and patted to the living room to wait along with Saya. Ragna the click of the door followed by a gasp and peeped his head around the corner to see what was up. He saw Jin and Saya at the door surprised, and with curiosity getting him Ragna got up and headed for the door. "Hey, you guys alright?" To his surprise, he saw a short cat beastkin standing at the door with a long blade on his back. However, it wasn't just any cat. It was none other than his master, Jubei. "Master!? What are you doing here?" Ragna asked as he rushed to greet him, furrowing a brow at the black bag in tow.

"Well, I've come to see you kids. It's been a while since I've seen you all, so I stopped by to say howdy." Jubei says as he takes a long look at each of them.

"Ye, h it's been a couple years since we last saw you. How have you been master Jubei." Saya asked as she shook his paw.

"I've been alright. I see you have grown into quite a beauty, Saya." Jubei says as Saya happily thanks him. "Well I shouldn't keep you, kids, too long or you'll be late, but before you go, I would like to give you and Ragna something," Jubei said as he reached into the black plastic bag.

"A gift? What is it?" Ragna asked, immediately receiving a hard paw to the head. The platinum hissed his teeth and went back to rubbing his pained skull. "The hell was that for master!? That shit hurt like hell…"

"Haven't you ever heard the phrase 'good things come for those who wait' kid? Anyway, here you go Saya." Jubei fished out two short swords and small sheaths to attach to her back.

"These are mine!?"She took them graciously and smiled, "Thanks, Jubei!"

"No problem kid. As for you Ragna, here." Jubei reaches back into the back and pulls out a red jacket and a huge two-handed sword. A better description of it might just be a huge slab of metal, and it had to be the oddest sword Ragna has ever laid eyes on. Ragna takes them and asks in a surprised tone. "Wait are these mine!?"

"Yep, they're yours. Take good care of 'em. They belong to a friend of mine, and I thought I'd give 'em to ya."

"Wait, what about Jin?" Ragna asks.

"The kid already poses a nox nyctores. I think he's good to go." Jubei said.

"Don't worry brother. There isn't anything he could have given me." Jin reassured.

"Alright now get your asses to school." Jubei motioned them to get going as they wave goodbye to him. He leapt off into the other direction and when they were no longer in sight, Jubei stopped and turned in their direction. 'Has it really been 10 years? Hmph. Kids grow up so fast.'

As Ragna, Jin, and Saya finally make it in front of school Ragna said between breaths. "Yes…we…made…it…" As he tried to catch his breath a sharp pain struck his back, hunching him over. He cursed and rubbed his back. "Ok! Who the hell do I have to knock out!?" The platinum turned to see who it was and groaned when he found a brown-haired woman with streaks of white hair coming off the ends of her hair with a shirt with blue sleeves and white in the middle with a short blue skirt smiling.

"Oh… It's just you Makoto…"

"GOOOD MORNING!" Makoto yelled at the top of her lungs.

"Good morning everyone." A girl with beautiful flowing scarlet hair wearing the same thing as the brown-haired beastkin greeted them with a smile.

"Good morning Makoto! Good morning Tsubaki!" Saya greeted them, furrowing a brow at a particular person missing from their entourage. "Hey? Where's Noel? She's always with you guys…?"

"I'm right here!" A voice says as they turn to see a girl with blond hair and green eyes running toward them. "Oh, there she is! Hi Noel!" Saya waves. As Tsubaki and Makoto look back, they think to themselves.

'Oops, we must've run too fast and left her...'

"Hi, Saya!" Noel greeted before turning her attention to the chuckling pair that left her behind. "You guys are mean!" The blond pouted. "How could you just leave me behind like that!?"

"We're sorry." The two said, itching the back of their heads.

"Ok… I forgive you…but…" Noel smiled and jumped into Makoto's tail. "This is what you get for leaving me!"

"What the—Come on Noel!" Makoto groaned.

"Good morning Ragna," Tsubaki said to him as he waves\d his hand in response. She then turned to Jin, her face slightly red as she stuttered, "G-Good morning Jin!"

Jin turned to her and gave her a genuine smile. "Good morning Tsubaki." His gentle tone caused Tsubaki's face to turn redden even further, which Makoto noticed and laughed too.

"Ok so if Tsubaki's here then we made it on time. Thank god." Ragna sighed in relief.

Tsubaki turned to him and said in a disappointed voice, "Actually no. We're about to be 10 minutes late..." Once those words echoed through their heads, their wide and perky smiles of relief turned to looks of horror.

"Oh…shit…" Ragna cursed as they all run into the school building, leaving a massive trail of dust behind them. As they ran, they were hoping, praying really, that their teacher would show mercy, but knowing her, they all highly doubted it.

As they ran the bell rang as Makoto whimpered, "Oh crap the first bell! We're so freaking dead! Our teachers gonna cook us alive."

"Makoto, please don't think like that," Tsubaki said, fear clear in her voice as she knew the consequences of pissing her off. "It's the first day let's just hope she's merciful," Tsubaki gulps. "I hope…"

"Knowing her showing mercy is like instead of grilling us she leaves us half done!" Makoto said as the image was implanted in their minds. With that, they run even faster to their room.

'Let's just hope she's in a good mood.' Jin thinks as they continue running down the hallway. After climbing the stairs and finally reach their class they all crash through the door and start toppling on top of each other. With a groan, they look up to see their teacher staring at them with murderous eyes. Her glare sent chills down their collective spines as Ragna says in a scared voice.

"We're so fucked."

"Your damn right about that one." Their teacher, Konoe aka Nine, said as the entire class looks at them with pity and terror.

"Wait, mother!" A girl with red hair tied in a ponytail sprang up and pleads, "It's the first day; please show mercy to them." The girl's name was Celica, Nines youngest daughter. The heated teachers face soon cooled as she sighed off her anger.

"Alright it's the first day, so I'll let you off with a warning" As she said that, them, including the entire class, sigh in relief.

'Thank god no blood, especially mine, will be spilled today.' Ragna thought to himself as they get up and start to walk to empty seats. They all stop as they feel a murderous aura behind them. They slowly turn their heads to a pissed off Nine as she said an intimidating voice causing the entire class starts to shiver.

"If anyone else is late to this class from this day forward, I will show you what real hell is like! Do I make myself clear!?"

"Y-Yes..." The entire class nodded, terrified to what she would do to them. A myriad of scenario's ran through their minds, concocting an endless array of idea's that would make even the devil shit himself.

As Ragna took his seat to the back next to Kagura, he whispered to him, "You all got really damn lucky you know that."

Ragna turned to him and sighed, "I know. I gotta thank Celica later." He looked towards Celica as she waved and smiled at him, Ragna returning the smile with his own.

"Ok class," Nine started as she wrote her name on the board. "My name is Konoe A. Mercury, but just call me Mrs. Mecury or Nine for short. If any of you call me by my actual name, I'll kill you. Ok?"

"O-Ok…" The whole class answered back.

"I will be your teacher for the semester I hope we all get along and not piss me off ok?" She said in a threatening voice as the entire class nodded their heads. "Now let's get started."
