Ace entered the classroom after a long summer of reading and fishing with his father. He sat down, in his normal spot and began to read once more. Suddenly, another boy, one of who he did not know, sat beside him. He did not look over, he was just happy it wasn't a girl like the last years of school. The deshs were in pairs of two, so for once, he didn't have a girl for a partner.

Zeki glanced over at Ace, then dug around in his pack and found a pencil and a piece of paper, then started to draw. He wasn't a great drawer, but it looked good enough, and he started writing a story on the back. Then the teacher came, and he hastily put it away in his bag.

Ace did not put down his book right when the teacher came in, and was the first person to get yelled at.
"Goodmorning class! I am your new.... HEY YOU! WITH THE BOOK! PUT IT DOWN!" He walked over to Ace, and slammed his hand down on the desk, making him jump slightly. "You Ace Alok. Am I right?" "Yes Sir." "Its Mr. Kuton to you." "Yes Sir." "What did I just tell you?" "I don't know Sir."

Zeki looked over with sympathetic eyes at Ace. He'd seen this teacher before, he was tough on students, and he gave out work assignments left and right. He sighed softly. He could tell that this day was not going to go well.

Mr. Kunton smirked. "Are you smart Mr. Alok?" He walked back to the front of the class and wrote on the chalk board: Ace Alok. "I don't classify myself Sir." "Well, lets see what you can do then. Come here." He smirked and watched Ace come up, then handed him chalk. "Draw a circle and color it in heavily." He turned to the class. "Be watching."
Ace finished the circle and turned around.
Mr. Futon smirked, then he got out a small knife and ran it down the chalk board, creating a painful screaching noise, that would hurt only Ace's sensitive ears.
Aces hands went up to his ears and he closed his eyes. "Stop!"

Zeki normally did not mind what happened to people, but this infuriated him, and he rose out of his seat. "Leave him alone!" He snapped at the teacher. Every head in the classroom turned to stare at him. But he was angry, Ace didn't deserve that even if he had been reading. He glared at the teacher, trembling with anger. He came from hot-tempered parents, and it obviously showed. He walked straight up to the man, grabbed his wrist, and threw the knife to the floor.

Mr. Kunton nodded. "Alok, Iahd. Sit down." Ace walked over to his desk and sat, rubbing his ears. The class went on, and into another class and another, then it was lunch and Ace began to walk out of the room when someone grabbed his arm gently. He turned.

Zeki held Ace's arm gently, then let him go. "Don't worry about what he does. He's just a really mean guy. Only...one thing. He has a tendency to try and push people around, so stick up for yourself, and he'll back down." Zeki smiled slightly, then turned, and disappeared into the crowd of people in the hall.

Ace blinked and watched him go. "Uhuh...." He walked the other way and went to his locker, put his text books inside, and closing his locker, then sat down under it and started to read, people walking by him constantly.
Aulii wasn't in the same class as Zeki or Ace, and when she saw Zeki she smiled and ran up to him. "Zeki!" She hadent seen him much that summer, and gave him and big hug. "Whats up?"

Aulii smiled. "Oh. Well, you have anything to do this lunch time? I was going to go back home wanna come?" She smiled at him. They had grown to be great friends, and she no longer cared for Ace so much, she didn't care for anyone, exept maybe Zeki.

"Sure." Zeki grinned, then they set off towards her house together. "Anything interesting happen in your classes today?" He asked, cocking his head at her. His reddish-brown hair flopped over his eyes like always, and he blew it out of his face, smiling.

Aulii shook her head. "NOTHING! HALF THE PEOPLE FEEL ASLEEP!" She laughed and tripped over a rock, falling into Zeki. She always had been clumbsy.
The book was suddenly torn out of Aces hands and he looked up, seeing people his age, from the other class, standing infront of him, they started tearing up the book. "Hey, don't do that!" "Why not? Its not like it has feelings." "That doesn't mean you have to rip it up!" Suddenly he felt a hand go around his neck and pull him up, pushing him against the wall of lockers. "LET GO!"

Zeki laughed, then heard the sound of a fight. He spun around, pulling on Aulii's arm gently, then dashing back inside. "C'mon!" He reached the four teenagers who had attacked Ace for no reason, and it angered him. "Leave him alone. NOW." He was easily angered, and he kicked the one who had Ace pinned hard in the back of the knee, forcing him to the ground, then they all piled on him and he fought back, fire and passion for fighting burning through his blood.

Ace jumped on the guys as well. Tearing them off Zeki, and they all went running. Then he bent down and started trying to put the book back together, but it was no good. He sighed. "Useless." He picked up the torm book, and its other dismantled parts and threw them away then went back to his locker, took out his lunch he had made, and started eating, not looking at the others.
Aulii stood by Zeki. A hand on his shoulder. "What did you do Ace?" "What I do everyday. Read."

Zeki got around more than people knew. "I know those four. They just go around causing trouble and starting fights with people who aren't doing anything offensive. They're just jerks." He shrugged, looking at Ace quietly. He sighed softly. The four boys were just plain troublemakers and bullies.

Ace finished his lunch and stood up. "I know." He turned and walked away. He was always quiet and calm like this, he took after his dad.
Aulii wanted to give Ace a hug, but she shook it out of her head, then turned to Zeki. "You get around, don't you?" She smiled at him.

"Yeah. More than people think." Zeki smiled obscurely. He grinned. "Well...we going to go eat or what?" He didn't care to mention that he had left his food at home, so he couldn't eat anyway.

Aulii laughed then swung her arm around his shoulders and turned him. "Oh yes, I am very much hungry! Lets go!" She started trouncing down the hall and out of the school with Zeki and was soon home. They ate and went back.
Ace sat in class, leaning on the back legs of his chair, his eyes closed, his ears moving at every different sound. Then he heard Zeki outside the room, saying goodbye to Aulii, then come in and sit down. They the heavy footsteps of his teacher, Mr. Kuton, who came in and saw him and started yelling. "MR. ALOK! OUT OF THE ROOM! NOW!" He watched Ace get up and walk out, then followed. "Why do you never listen?! I thought Cats always listened!" "Sorry Sir, thats dogs." "THATS IT!" He smacked Ace hard across the face, and all Ace did was turn his head with the impact, he did not flinch, nothing. His cheek was red, and he walked back into the room and sat down, his cheek red and he turned it away from all ho could see, looking out the window.

Anger filled Zeki for the third time that day, and he wanted to take his sword, and slash the teacher. His eyes burned with hate, and he glared venomously at Mr. Kuton for the rest of the day. Finally, school was out, and he escaped out the door, said goodbye to Aulii, and dashed home.
Kineta was waiting outside in the trees for Ace. She would do this every day, since she had dropped out, but that didn't mean she shouldn't wait for her brother. She emerged, and growled at someone who dared try to touch her ears. This was not going to be easy.

Ace wandered home, his cheek was back to normal, and his ears no longer hurt. He had pages and pages of homework, and would be working all night at it. He walked home, his hands in his pockets and he looked dead ahead. His heads flicked over at some trees, and then he smelled his sister. He continued walking.
Aulii ran hom and dived into her house then landed on her fathers chair. "I'M HOME!!!!" She smiled at her mother when she came out from the hall.
Akili smiled. "Hi Aulii, how was school?" "Good! I saw Zeki today! He came over and ate lunch, hope thats fine." "Sure it is sweetie."

Kineta felt a hand grab her ear, pulling her back. She slowly turned her head, and bared her small fangs. "Let me go NOW." She hissed. The boy did not oblige, and she jerked her head back, painfully making him let go, then flinging herself towards him. Her brother was calm and quiet, but she was a fighter through and through. She sank her teeth into his shoulder, then kicked him hard. By the time the fight was finished, her opponent had several cuts, scratches, and bruises, and she had obtained a black eye, a bruise on her arm, and several minor cuts. She loped home at an easy pace, then stopped short at her tree. She hesitated at going inside, she was sure to get a talking to for coming home with obvious signs of a fight. She took a deep breath, opened the door, and darted into her corner, facing the wall, and stretched out on her side. She could not hide the bruise that dominated most of her upper arm, since her sleeves were short. So instead, she curled up, and hoped Kikoto wouldn't notice that she had started another fight.
Kalor emerged through the door, and grinned at Aulii. "Hey, Aulii. How was your day?"

Ace walked inside and sat at the table, starting his homework. He worked for hours and hours, eating supper, then working longer and longer until he finally fell asleep, his homework still not done.
Kikoto did not notice Kineta fight wounds. She was demon, and healed fast, her bruise was barely visible when she saw her. She layed in her bed, in Seths arms, when she still say the light on in the kitched. Sethy? You asleep?

Nope. Seth murmured, smiling at her. Why? He asked quizzically, cocking his head at her.
Kineta sat in the corner, watching Ace work, then, when he fell asleep, she quietly crept over, and finished it for him, taking another five hours. She had never been good at schoolwork, but she had dropped out, and didn't need to go in the morning. Besides, it wasn't fair if Ace got in trouble for not having his homework done when he had tried so hard to finish. And she was still awake. She crept outside, and climbed her tree, gazing at the full moon.

Seth crept into the kitchen, and found Ace fast asleep on the table. He's asleep here. He reported, then checked Kineta's room. But Kin is gone... A tinge of worry crept into his voice, he didn't think that she would be outside in her tree at this hour.

Kikoto sat up and got out of the bed, then walked into the kitchen. She goes outside to sit in her tree at nights sometimes, she has done it before. She looked over at Ace, then woke him gently. "Ace, honey. You should go to sleep in your bed."
Ace woke and yawned. Then his eyes got big and he remembered he hadent finished his homework. "Huh? No gotta finish...." He yawned. "Mr. Kuton will skin me if I don't." He looked at his sheets, they were done, but most of them were wrong. He started erasing the wrong ones and filling them in right again.

Seth looked over at Kikoto. He said that he wasn't finished...do you think Kin did it? He asked, then looked down at Ace.
Kineta could not see her parents through the window, so she assumed that Ace was still asleep, and so were her parents. She climbed down out of her tree, opened the door quietly, and froze, seeing everyone awake. She shut the door, and stared. Huh...? How'd they get up so fast?

Kikoto nodded. She must have. She looked down at Ace, who had fallen asleep again. Here, help me get him in bed. She pulled the chair Ace was sitting on away from the table so Seth could get him up, then packed his papers and put them in his bag. It just isn't right for a teacher to give a kid THIS much homework on the first day of school!

I know! Seriously, they haven't even been in school for two days and he already gives out homework! Seth picked Ace up, and carried him to his room, then set him gently on his bed and pulled the blankets over him. He walked out, pausing for a moment to watch his son sleep. He hadn't seen Kineta, not yet.
Kineta started trying to sneak past her parents unnoticed. She prowled along on all fours, and ten feet from her door she felt someone catch her ankle. She froze, and slowly turned around. She still had a black eye, or at least traces of one. It was still dark around her eye, and she froze completely.
