Theresa locked her door as she stepped out of her dorm room. She yawned, thinking about her sleepless night before. She had stayed up all night to study for a VERY important Science Test and was now exhausted. She walked down the empty hall and down the stairs while struggling with her books and bag. *I can't wait for a nice cup of coffee* She thought to herself.

Summer stepped out into the early morning sun. What a nice day out, she thought with a content sigh. Her stomach grumbled and she laughed. "I guess I'm kind of hungry." She walked towards the school while yawning.

After dressing in his school uniform Aiden stepped out into the hallway and shut his door. He didn't bother locking it. He never did that at home, so why start now. Just then he thought of the money his parents sent him. Ten thousand yen... He then turned back around and locked his door. He saw a flash of green out of the corner of his eye.

After getting down the stairs Theresa opened the front door and stepped out of the quit dorm. She walked to a near by bench and sat her books on the empty chair. She let out a sigh of relief and straitened her skirt. "Why the hell do they make us carry so many damn books" She muttered to herself before picking her books up again.

He looked and saw Theresa walk down the stairs. Too... Tired... To care... he thought. He walked towards the stairs, his feet dragging. It always seemed like he didn't get enough sleep when he did. He walked down the stairs while letting out a jaw cracking yawn. I so wish I could just ditch today... Then again, they don't know that I've arrived. So maybe I can. After thinking a moment he decided against it.
He walked out of the dorm. The grass was wet with dew and he looked forward to being able to sleep through first period.

Summer walked into the large building that was the school. Mmmm... Onigiri... She smiled. She walked off to her left and entered the staircase and went up to the third floor. She entered the cafeteria and sat down.

Annora sat in the helicopter, about to jump out of her seat she was soo excited. She had begged to come to this school since she was ten and now finally she was.
"Hey little girl, Are you excited about the school?" The pilot said like it wasn't obvious. "I've delivered some older students, but you're the first younger kid I've seen." He stopped talking to her when he didn't get any response from the bouncy girl. He landed the large air craft. Then smiled, "Be careful. There are some people you don't want to get involved with."
Annora faced the man. "Like who?"
"Like some juveniles and sluts. People that aren't good for someone like you."
Annora smiled and replied, "You don't have to worry about me."

Theresa walked into the cafeteria and sat her books onto the round table that was nearest to her. She stepped to the counter and grabbed a bowl of cheerios, milk, and a steamy cup of coffee. She set the food down and poured four creams and three sugars into her coffee. She touch a sip and smiled. 'Time to wake up.'

Aiden heard a helicopter land over where he had. He turned and looked and saw a little girl talking to the pilot. She looked so young it was amazing that parents would send her to a boarding school. Poor girl... oh well. He walked into the school, past the tower that stood in his mind.

"Hello Miss Gitou. The usual Onigiri?" asked a man that gave food to students and teachers alike. He smiled politely.
"Yes." He gave her a little bowl of Onigiri that he handed over the counter. "Thank you very much." She walked back to her spot and began eat them. When finished she left the cafeteria and went to the roof, where a large flower garden was. She began to water the summer roses (the yellow ones.)

Annora saw a young man walk past her. She ran to him as the helicopter left the platform. "Excuse me . . . Hey . . . Sir . . . . Will you please stop. . . "

Sakura left the cafeteria after her nice breakfast. She walked up some stairs and opened the door. She smiled as she saw her long time friend, Summer. "Hello."

Summer turned and saw Sakura. "Hello Sakura. How are you doing today? Sleep well I suppose?" She set down her watering can (what are they called again? *sweat drop*).

"Yeah?" asked Aiden as the girl approached him. He stopped and turned to talk to her.

She stopped to catch her breath. "You know . . You're sorta hard of hearing," She smiled. "Do you know where the cafeteria is I'm supposed to meet some lady their." She looked at him and immediately fell in love with him. *He might be a couple years older then me, but boy is he cute.* (She isn't showing him any sign of this)

Sakura sat on the bench that was in the middle of the garden. "Yes, and you? Was your night peaceful?"

Aiden yawned once again. "Sorry about that. Just a little bit tired. I'm heading there now. You can follow me if you like."

Theresa finished her breakfast and stood to stretch. She sighed and looked to see Aiden and a young girl walk into the busy cafeteria. She walked over to say good morning. "Hello, Aiden. New friend?" She smiled at the young girl as she pointed in her direction.

"I guess so. She just came in from the helicopter a few minutes ago. Oh yeah!" Aiden slapped himself mentally. "My name is Aiden," he said to the girl. "You are?"

"Annora, but you can call me Nora." She smiled at the new person and looked at the young man to the side of her. "How did you get that scar?"
Theresa smiled at the girls curiosity and looked to Aiden for his answer. "You know, I never found that out from you. Where did it come from?"

"Oh that. I never really think about anymore." Aiden thought back to the history of that scar. "Well, back in... I think it was in fourth grade I got mugged. I got punch in the face twice and this guy had rings on... Sharp ones. And that's how I got this scar."

Theresa gave a crooked smile, wishing she hadn't asked. "Sorry." She apologized.
She turned to the girl next to him. "Well, Nora you better go meet up with who ever you're supposed to meet up with." She smiled and waved a good-bye to the little girl.
"So what's your first class?"

"Study hall. Thank God... I can get more sleep." He stretched. "I always seem to need more sleep than normal. Oh well..." He looked at her. "How about you?"

"Same as you. You going to get breakfast or just go strait to the class?"

"Breakfast. Miso soup will really hit the spot." He walked over to a counter that he saw kids getting their food at. "Hi. Do you have Miso soup?"
"Of course we do," said the man over the counter.
"Okay then... I'll have miso soup with nori and rice please." The man gave him his soup, seaweed, and rice. "Thank you."
He walked over to the nearest table and begin eating. "This soup is really good." He continued eating his soup, occasionally snacking on some rice and nuri.

Theresa raised an eyebrow. "Wha . . .Wha . . What is that? It looks um . . . Green." She said while pointing at the seaweed that Aiden had on his plate. "I am soo glade I'm not from Japan. You guys eat the strangest things."

"How about you guys? I've seen some of the stuff you eat. All I can say is that it looks like dog crap, not offense. And it just so happens that this green stuff is rather tasty." He chomped defensively on the nori.

Theresa sat herself down next to the hungry teenager. "What's so nasty about American food? And what looks like dog crap?" She smiled teasingly. "I personally like most American food."

"Well, lets see." Aiden finished off his miso soup and nori and began to finish eating his rice. "How about that snail stuff? Nasty....." Aiden shuddered. "American food is just too... Plain. It tastes like there's no spices in it. Anyways... What time does first period start?" he asked as he finished off his rice (fast eater, like me!) and stretched.

"Uh . . .I think it starts in about a half hour, but it shouldn't take that long to get there." She yawned again and gave a half hearted smile. She ran her fingers down her hair and found some knots. "I want to go back to bed."

"Nope, not me. If I get back in bed, I'm not coming out. I'm just gonna sleep through first. I have no homework or junk so I don't have anything to do. So I'm just gonna get an extra period of sleep. What do you wanna do until then?"

"I don't know, but it better be exciting to wake me up." She blew a few hairs out of her eyes repeatedly until they stayed out of her sight. "And there aren't too many things that are exciting in the school. Some guys can't even kiss right."

Aiden coughed uncomfortably then said, "Oh yeah" sarcastically. "Here comes your sister with her friends. Probably to get back at us for a few days ago. She didn't get enough time to complain before we left."

Theresa groaned, "It's too early for her." She set her head in the table as her sister approached.
"Hello Aiden." She smiled sweetly then did a 180 with her attitude and greeted her sister. "I heard some pretty bad rumors about a couple of days ago and was wondering if they were true." She gave another smile after stepping on one of her friend's foot, because of her excessive giggling.

"And you should give a shit why?" he asked with a "friendly" smile. He thought for a moment. Why am I always so rude? He shot a look at her friends that read "Death," and then just smiled.

She ignored his rude remark and smiled. "Well, you see, I am worried about my sister and her poor reputation. I am looking out for her. I need to know so I can fix some things."
Theresa gave a little grunt of laughter and mumbled, "Aint that a bunch of shit?" She smiled to herself with her head still on the table.

Aiden sat down next to Theresa and said, "Well then... If you think you know the truth then come right out and say it." He yawned to show that he was bored with Kelly and he little act. She's probably just jealous...

She rounded the table and sat down. "Well, I heard." She paused and waved her friends away from the table. They pouted and walked slowly off. "I heard. That you two had sex the first day that you got here." She pointed at Aiden with her perfectly manicured nails.

Aiden turned red as he shot a look a Theresa's head. Gods, I pity her. "And might I ask which of your dumbass friends told you this?" he asked after turning his normal color again. "Was it her? Or her? Or maybe her?" he asked as he pointed a the respectable girls.

Theresa perked up after hearing this and moved closer to Aiden. She wrapped her arms around him and smiled a seducing smile. "Who ever told you that was right. . . . Aiden and I have made love every night since he got here. And . . . to tell you the truth. He's pretty good in the sack." She smiled wickedly and raised an eyebrow.

"Damn it Theresa!" he snapped after thinking a moment. "You said you wouldn't tell anyone!" he hissed. He turned his back to the girls as he whispered in her ear. "Don't take this one too far. Just far enough, alright?"

Kelly was surprised at the words that had come out of their mouths. She gritted her teeth together.

Theresa smiled at the look at her sister's face. She moved her lips to his ear and whispered, "Don't worry. Just be prepared." She laid her head on his shoulder and carefully extended her hand to his leg. She didn't want to make him too uncomfortable so she kept her hand away from his *BEEP*. <---censored

*He's so innocent. LOL.*

He slipped his hand behind her back and around her waist. He kissed her gently on the forehead then turned and shot another "friendly" smile at the girls. He smirked as he saw some kid a few tables away staring.

Kelly glared and glanced at where her sister's hands were leading. "This is disgusting! Theresa you are the biggest slut I've ever seen! You sleep around, flirt with every guy, and flaunt your body like a prostitute! No . . .I'm sorry You are a prostitute!" She yelled so that a couple of people around her heard. "Girls let's go!"
Theresa's eyes started to water. She gave a reassuring smile: trying to hide her feelings. *I hate when my sister gets to me like that* (Yes I know she's being out of character.)

"Bitch..." he mumbled under his breath. He looked down at Theresa and say a tear slide down her cheek. Oh damn it! What to do? Comfort or pretend I didn't see it? Comfort or ignore? He decided on just dropping it. "So... Um... Do you think we should go to class now?" he asked as he wondered if her made the right choice.

Theresa looked down to the flour and whipped the tears from her eyes. "I don't want to go to class. I think I'm going to skip." She started playing with her fingers, thinking how stupid she must look she stopped.

"I dunno if I want to skip. I'm looking forward to an extra 60 minutes of sleep. Besides, what's the point of skipping if you don't do anything in the class your going to skip?" Aiden said as she fidgeted briefly.

Theresa looked up at the young man. "I didn't say that you had to skip, I just said that I'm going to." She snapped then started to regret it. She was getting touchy and she knew she had to calm down.

"Are you okay? You sound kind of.... Well, touchy right now. Not yourself. That last remark got to you, didn't it?" he asked. He knew he was playing with fire, even though he had only known her for a few days.

Theresa faced him and smiled. "I'm sorry. I don't want to treat you that way." She whipped some last tears away from her face and stood up. "I just need to cool off."

"Alright. Well... I'm going to go head to class. I guess I'll see you later alright?" asked Aiden as he stood up from the table.

She picked her books and waved a goodbye "See ya later." She smiled and picked her books up. She started for the door and walked out. As she did she saw eyes and knew that Kelly's friends were looking at her. She smiled. "Hi girls." She said sweetly as they giggled and blushed.

"Look at the time!" cried Summer as she looked at a watch she had on her left wrist. It's almost time for first period. Summer had been deep in a  conversation about the school with Sakura. "I must get back to my arena, to prepare. You do realize that they're beginning again, don't you?"

Sakura smiled a kind smile. "Of course. I knew that they would again some day. Some one didn't capture the power of the Great Unknown 50 years ago. So it must start again." She glanced at her watch. "Gods, I'm going to be late for my first class. I'm sorry to have to rush off so quickly, but children await."

"Goodbye Sakura!" said Summer. "Good luck in class." Se turned back and began watering her roses.

Aiden sighed in contentment. He felt so good. He was half asleep, so he couldn't get yelled at and yet he was still getting sleep.
"Isn't that cool?" cried some annoying little sixth grader who kept poking Aiden. He just kept on talking endlessly. "And then I was like 'Who do you think you are?' and he was like 'I am-"
"Be quite..." Aiden mumbled as he turned his head. "Sleep... Sleep..."
"What did you say Mister? Hey, your kinda cute. Do you want to go out with me?" asked the little sixth grader with stars in her eyes.
Aiden opened his eyes, looked at her, then banged his head on the table. "Please, Gods. Here my plea! Let first period end!"

Theresa ran to her first hour class. She was too awake to go back to the dorm and get some sleep so she decided to go to class after all. She skidded as she stopped in front of the door. Smoothing out her skirt and hair; she quietly opened the door and went in. The teacher didn't say anything she just gave Theresa a nice hard glare before pointing to a seat.
Theresa smiled at the long nosed teacher and touched her seat. She saw Aiden and then she saw the sixth graded that was making googoo eyes at him. She gave a spurt of laughter then just kept on watching the scene in front of her.

"Hey! Hey! You're not listening to me!" hissed the little girl as she poked Aiden's head. "That's really rude."
"Please kid... Go poke someone else. I just want to sleep..." He looked at the clock and saw he was only 15 minutes in the period. Once again he banged his head on the table.
"Hey! Doesn't that hurt? Does it? Does it!?"
"Please, kid. Just go bug someone else."

Theresa almost burst out with laughter. *this is soo cute* She thought as the girl kept right on bothering poor Aiden. He probably was hating her by now.

"How can you be tired?" asked the little girl as she poked Aiden's head.
"Okay, you know what?" Aiden looked at her. "If you let me sleep during first period every morning, I'll give you 100 yen a week. Deal?" Aiden's eyes read plainly, "I'm going to freak out if you say no!!!!"
"That's not enough!" cried the little girl.
Aiden sighed with self pity. Patience is a virtue, he thought as the little girl poked him again.

Theresa carefully walked up to Aiden and the little girl. "Hey... um... Honey... I'm seeing a lot of googoo eyes coming at my boyfriend here... and...Uh... Don't get me wrong I think you might be a nice girl and all... If you look at him again that way... heh... I'll rip your head off." She said while smiling sweetly the entire time. *I hate being mean to little kids* she sighed.

"Evil woman!" cried the little girl as she shook her fist.
Aiden looked up to see Theresa smiling. Thank Gods... he thought.
The little girl ran off mumbling obscene words.
"I thought you said you were going to ditch?" he said wearily.

She smiled and shrugged her shoulders. "Got board and couldn't sleep." She looked at Aiden, "Am I really that evil?" She asked not really wanting the answer she moved on to something else.
"Um . . . I just want to clear some stuff up with you. What my sister said. . . It isn't true. I don't sleep around with everyone. I don't try to flirt with every guy it sorta just happens and when you and I play around with these girls mind, it's only fun and games. I don't enjoy feeling guys up."

"I know. Some people just don't understand. They think that because you kiss someone that means your screwing them. But their wrong. We're just messing... Let me reword that, joking around. And some people, are just too dumb and thick headed to know the difference. You know?" Aiden paused to get Theresa's reaction.

Theresa smiled. "Thanks. You're like one of the only guys that hasn't shown any interest in me.... and once in a while that's nice. And I'm sorry about getting you into all those situations. I am guessing you weren't planning on getting frisky with the second girl you meet?" She said teasingly.

"Never know..." Aiden joked. When Theresa shot him a look that said "Excuse me?!" he panicked. "No! I was kidding!" She looked relieved. "Hey, do you want some sake?" he asked as he pulled a little bottle out of his pocket. He took a small sip from it.

"Sure... I'm always up for something that's against the rules." She smiled and took the small bottle and sipped it. She made a strange face after. "That stuff is strong. I don't think I want any more... how can you drink that stuff?"

"What are you talking about?" hissed Aiden after he took another sip. "Sake is the drink of the Gods. Mmmm... I used to have it at my house on New Years all the time. Damn good stuff." He stuck it back in his pocket. "Well, that woke me up." Aiden's forehead had a big red mark where he had banged it multiple times.

Theresa pressed a finger on the red mark. "You have a dot on your head."

"Oh, I'm just gonna take your word for it. Please, don't tell me how big though, let me keep some self pride." He sighed. "I think I'm gonna ditch. I don't want to pretend to be learning today. Maybe I'll stay in and write." Aiden thought for a moment then said, "Yeah... Wait. Do they check the dorms to make sure everyone's gone to class? That happened to a friend of mine."

Summer stepped into the arena, fully robed in her fighting gowns. Memories flooded back to her of her old boyfriend. Tears filled her eyes as she looked at the spot where he had died.

Theresa sighed. "I think they do." She gave a half hearted smile. "Write? What do you Write? You don't seem like the writing type of person."
Theresa totally changed the subject and came up with a good idea. At least that's what she thought. "Hey you want to ditch classes and see what's going outside of these shitty walls. Each side has a different season you want to go?"

"Hell yeah. Do we just leave the room?" he asked as he stared at the sleeping teacher. "I guess it doesn't really matter either way," joked Aiden. "Come on." He pulled her to the doorway and looked in either direction. "What floor are we on again?"

"Ah . . .Second." She looked both ways as he did. "If we get caught. We could get suspended or something."

He looked to the nearest staircase. About 45 feet away. Teacher's voices echoed through the hallways. "Sprint?" he asked.

She looked at Him. "Ready? Let's go." She took his hand and yanked him in the direction of the stairs.

 He shook himself loose of Theresa so he could run faster. Suddenly, the sound of high heels clicking began to echo out of the staircase. "Oh shit.... Um... "Aiden looked frantically. "Bathroom!" he hissed as he threw her into the girls bathroom and followed.
 "Wait here." He put his ear against the door. "The lady is coming closer!" he whispered frantically.

  Theresa listened carefully until she heard a flush of the toilet. I girl with short pink hair stepped out of the stall; heading for the sink. She hadn't noticed them yet, but Theresa knew this was going to be difficult to explain.

   Aiden heard the heels coming even closer. "Theresa!" he whispered, now panicking. "The teacher is coming to the bathroom! Hide me!"
   "What the hell is a guy doing in here?" the girl answered.
   "Don't mention me and I'll do you a favor or some shit!" he said as he threw himself in a stale, locked it and tried to hide. "If she asks Theresa, out of order." Just as he said this the door opened and a teacher rushed in.

    Theresa smiled at the teacher and leaned against the stall door that Aiden was behind. "Sorry ma'am. Um . . .Out of order." The teacher smiled back and used the other one. seconds latter something fell on the floor. Theresa glance under the stall to see if Aiden had been clumsy enough to drop something and found a pink pad. (It is lying right between Aiden's stall and the teachers.)

     Ew... Nasty. There are certain things about teachers that you don't wanna know, thought Aiden as he gagged silently. He avoided being seen as the teacher reached down for the pad.
     The girl with the pink hair just continued washing her hands.
     The flush of the toilet and noises of rustling came from the teachers stall. She came out, washed her hands, and then rushed out of the bathroom as quickly as she entered.

      Theresa let out a sigh of relief. "You can come out now." She backed away from the door to allow him room. So how was your first experience in a girls bathroom?"

"Horrifying. I wanted to think of those teachers as... Just ew..." he said and shuddered. He turned to the girl with pink hair. He bowed slightly and said, "Thank you."
"Yeah... Right. Might I inquire as to why your in here in the first place?" she asked, while drying her hands off.

Theresa smiled and swiped a few hairs from her forehead. "Well.... Um... He and I were...Ah... walking to a class and we turned thinking this was it. We panicked when we heard the teacher and... uh... hid him?" She looked to Aiden for back up. She seemed to say A little help here?

"We're ditching class right now and we don't want to get suspended so when we heard a teacher coming we headed to the closet place. This bathroom. All right?" asked Aiden with a smile.
"Why didn't you just say that?" she asked. "Have fun you two!" she winked and walked out.
"That was easy." Aiden was astound that the girl didn't even care.

She gave a playful 'I hate you' glare and walked out of the girls bathroom. "The stairs are right there. Let's just get out of here." She stepped across the hall and opened the door to the stairs. "Yay."

As the walked down the stairs Aiden smiled. He never would've done this at home because he was so shy with girls. As they reached the bottom of the stairs he looked out quickly. "Looks clear."

"Yep... Ah...do you mind if we stop at my dorm before we go. I need to change. I swear these uniforms are made to strangle us." She hopped down the stairs and out of the building. "My room mate won't be there. She has science right now." 

"Me too. I'm so used to feeling my kendo uniform... Ugh. These clothes just don't feel right." As they walked towards the dorm building he ran out of things to talk about, so he just stayed silent.

After a while of silence they approached their dorms; she opened the door and stepped in. "I have to find something to wear. I think most of my stuff is dirty." She became a little embarrassed. "I was never taught how to do my own laundry. Is that bad?"

"Not really. My dad never even learned how to do his laundry. Trust me, you are perfectly fine." As they walked up the stairs to the second floor they came to Aiden's room.
"Meet you out here when were do changing. Okay?"

Theresa nodded and walked to her room, unlocked it and stepped in. She groaned while looking at the mess. Walking over to her dresser; she yanked on the handle and opened it. She dug into the mess of cloths until she could dig no more. "Nothing" She said to herself. Stomping over to the closet she opened the door and went through the mess of cloths.

Aiden unlocked his room and stepped inside. He went digging through its bags (still unpacked? lazy bum!) until he found a clean kendo uniform. He slipped it on. After putting on his sandal/shoes he stepped outside of the room and waited patiently for Theresa.

Theresa groaned with frustration and through some cloths out of her closet. "I swear I can find all the jeans I want I will not be able to find one clean shirt." She stopped for a minute and thought of Aiden. He's probably standing out there. He's going to get us caught. She opened the door and looked at him. "We are going to get caught if you stay out there, you dork. Get in." She took him by the arm and pulled him into the messy room. "Sorry about the mess. I just got a new room mate and she hasn't got it all together yet."

"It's all right. I've seen and lived in worse," he said. His eyes fell to her hand, which had a rose ring on it. "You've got one too, huh?" he asked as she rummaged.

She noticed what he was talking about and stopped. "Yeah you got one?" Then she quickly walked into the closet. "Sorry this is taking so long. I've found a pair of jeans, but no shirt" After a minute or two of clothing being thrown out of the closet she finally found something. "Thank the gods. I thought I was going to have to go topless. (Remember the door is open :-) She unbuttoned her skirt and slipped into the tight jeans then unhooked her bra. and tied a light blue halter top on. "Ok, I think we can go." 

Aiden turned away as she changed. Why she was done he asked, "So I take it your not the shy type? Not the real modest type? Well anyway. What did you mean by different seasons or whatever? I mean, come on. This school can't be that screwed up.... Can it?"

She looked at Aiden a little strangely. "Back home my guy friend always undress in front of me and I undress in front of them I guess it's a trust thing. I know they would never touch. And I think I sorta forgot that you aren't one of those laid back types."
She checked herself in the mirror and found herself doable. "And the hole season on each side thing. Well, I saw three of them when I came here in the helicopter. So yeah I guess this school is that messed up." 

Sakura got out of her English class and walked to the arena's. Summer is right. The duels are starting and I should start getting ready. She got to her arena and changed into her traditional dueling wear. I hope these duelists are somewhat responsible.

Before they stepped into the hallway he checked to make sure that no one was out there, which no one was. "So what are we going to do, just walk across the grounds to get there or what?" He stepped out of the room.

"Sure . . .I mean we're in our regular cloths now so we can say we're new or something." She lead the way down the stairs and out the building. "Now let's get going."

As they walked across the school grounds Aiden couldn't help but wish he could do this every day, "So. What were they like? The season things you saw I mean and which one are we going to?"

"The Seasons . . . Well, I remember a summer beach, spring valley and a fall forest. I think they were pretty. It seemed like all the world's seasons came from here." She sighed and smelled the fresh air. "The air here is a lot better the LA air." She said without really thinking.

"Really? I can't imagine the air as anything not like this. How could you stand not having fresh air?" asked Aiden. This air was fresher than he was used to, but not much of a difference. As they approached a large door Aiden stared in amazement. "Is this what we were trying to find?" he asked.

Theresa looked up at the East door in awe. "Yeah, I think so. East is supposed to be Spring I think. Well, lets boogie."

Sakura walked into her arena in full dueling attire. She smelled the fresh air and smiled. She hadn't been here for a long time, but being here meant that the Duels were going to start and she hated the duels. She sighed 'Will, I ever be free?' She thought to herself.' She held a long staff in her right hand as she walked along.

Summer shook of the memories and had begun to use her sword again. She practiced her attack and also worked on her skills. She hadn't done this in so long she had to make sure that she didn't let any unworthy past.

After they pulled the door slowly came open. Aiden made sure only to open it enough so that they could get through. He slipped in. "What do you want to do out here?" asked Aiden as he looked at his surroundings.

"I don't know. . . The rules says that it's dangerous. What the hell could be so dangerous." She walked along the trees and flowers that grew along then. "Sure is pretty though. 

"Want to go look around?" he asked. Even without her answer he began to walk forward, away from the school. "I wonder what's out there. Come on!" he yelled.

Theresa followed Aiden as he walked out into the Spring area. 

Sakura peacefully sat on a rock by a small water fall. She thought quietly about the duels that would be coming up, her students and the Arena she need to take care of. Suddenly out of no where she felt a presence. "Someone's in the Arena!" She said a little alarmed. 

Theresa's attention suddenly went to a flock of birds that nervously flew out of a near by tree. Everything became quit and she felt a little disturbed. "Do you feel that?"

Aiden's stomach clenched as he saw this. "Maybe they weren't lying when they said it was dangerous out here. Can't be that bad though, right?" he asked, not expecting any answer. "Do you want to see what's going on up there or just stay down here?"

"Ah..." She paused. "Sure, but you get to go first." She moved behind him and sorta gave him a push. 

Sakura walked out of her clearing and concentrated on getting to were ever the trespassers were. She clenched her staff as she moved calmly and quickly through the trees.

"Women." Aiden snorted as he walked forward, keeping his eyes open for anything out of the ordinary. As they walked further away from the school the more uncomfortable and distressed he began to feel. Aiden wondered if Theresa felt the same thing.

Theresa glared at him. "Hey." Theresa became a little nervous. What is wrong with this place? She asked herself before looking ahead.

Sakura looked throughout the branches and saw a young man and young lady walked cautiously through the valley. She smirked and quietly moved forward. When she thought she was close enough to attack she swiped her staff at the boys feet tripping him then quickly took two fingers to the girls neck; hitting a pressure point knowing her out. She put the staff to the boys throat and demanded answers. "What are you doing here?"

"First, I'd just like to say I regret coming here and I swear by the Gods I worship I will never do it again." Aiden gulped. Falling down had caused his necklace to fall (chain had snapped) to the ground. His rose ring and his dog tags shined in the he sun. "We were just.... Um..."

Sakura's eyes widened at the sight of the ring. "Where did you get that?" She let him up and pointed to Theresa. "Does she have one, too?" 

"Yeah we both have them. I found mine in my dorm room. I don't know where she found hers. Do you mind taking that thing away from my neck?" he asked nervously as he looked at the women.

Sakura smiled and let the staff fall to the ground. "I'm sorry. I didn't know that you had the ring or I wouldn't have attacked you." She looked to Theresa. "Your Girlfriend wake up in a while. You're very lucky that that thing fell off your neck. Or I could have killed you."

"We're not dating!" he snapped as he turned red. "Anyway... What is this place? This school can't be so strange that it just has different seasons everywhere, can it?" he asked after a brief courtesy bow. "I'm Aiden Saber. Pleased to meet you. What's so special about this ring anyway?"

She smiled a kindly. "I am the Goddess Sakura of the Season of Spring." She bowed slightly. "This is an Arena that holds Duels between the special Duelist of the Great Unknown." She pointed to the ring on the ground. "That ring symbolizes you as being a Duelists. It tells all the Guardians of the Seasons to know who you are."

Theresa slowly opened her eyes. She groaned as she tried to pull herself up. "Aiden? Where are we?" Her vision was blurry and she felt really weak.

He reached down and helped her up. "You okay?" he asked. "The is 'the goddess Sakura of the Season of Spring.' " He held his ring up and said, "Can you believe that these saved our lives?" he joked.

Theresa squinted at the ring and gave an 'out of it' smile. "Oh..." She suddenly felt dizzy as she was quickly pulled up from the ground and almost fell over. "My head hurts." She whined as she kept her balance with Aiden's help.
"Sorry, dear," the goddess said while looking into Theresa's eyes. "You might feel like that for a couple of minutes. It's a reaction to your brain getting a little less oxygen then it's used to."

The Summer Goddess ran up from behind them. "Is everything all right Sakura? Who are these people?" she asked as she summoned her sword. "They can't be here!"
"Duelists!" cried Aiden before she could slice and dice him.
She released the sword, which materialized. "Oh. Okay," the Goddess said, dumbfounded.

Theresa screamed as the woman came up to her, asked many questions, took out a sword and pointed it their way. She was too dizzy, too fatigued, and way too confused to care how ditzy she sounded. "That's it! I want to go home," she whined. "Look at me, I'm sounding like my sister."

Both the Summer Goddess and Aiden sweat dropped as Aiden said, "Hey Theresa, lets just do back to the dorm, okay?" Aiden walked up to her and began leading her back to where they came.

"Ok . . ." She said in a childish tone of voice.

Aiden turned and bowed to both Goddesses. "It was nice talking to you, besides the sword and staff thing," he said. He then turned and led Theresa back to the school.

"These duelists are going to be a problem," said Summer as she turned to Sakura."


Sakura turned from the new Duelist to Summer. She nodded, "It's diffidently going to be more interesting then the last time."
