In the Still of the Night....

[Rebecca Williams]

12 p.m....When I heard squeaking sounds outside my room. I was so irritated because of the loud sounds that person was making...Then I wnet outside to tell that person to go to sleep. When I went outside my room, I did not see anyone there. But what was strange was that there was still a squeaking sound. I went around to look for the person who was walikng noisily.

When I reached the easternmost conrner. I saw someone or something dressed in white and glowing. I was so scared that i ran to my room and hid under my blanket.

The next morning I went to the dining room and told what had happened last night.

[Hiei]

Hiei sat on the nearby table, drinking a cup of tea, his elbows resting on the table. He wore a black short-sleeved plain shirt and urban military cargo pants. Sporting a black Nike shoes, he sat on the empty bench. No one really wanted to be associated with him. After all, he had been labelled 'Most Dangerous' by the school body. He wore bandages that only covered his wrists. As such, the Dark Dragon mark on his right hand was visible. Not like Hiei cared much anymore. Let them stare, for all he cared. But then, the conversation that was going on behind him interested him. Someone in white and glowing in the middle of the night.

Hiei let out a sigh. Looks like one of the students was playing tricks again. If there was a ghost here, it would likely have been made by one of the students. Hiei had gotten used to hearing the newcomers talk about the supernatural things they saw in the Academy. he couldn't believe how simple-minded they were. This was a school for 'gifted individuals', as labelled by the staff, and 'freaks', as labelled by the rest of the world. Everything was supernatural.

Letting out a deep sigh, he turned to the girl and spoke in his usual monotonous voice. "You've been tricked. There is no ghost. It is but a creation of someone's Alice." Hiei couldn't place any kind of powers that could have linked with the strange sighting, but hell, there wasn't a single type of Alice not being used by any of the students in the Academy.

[Ran Kotobuki]

then ran entered the room and saw lots of student talking about something and saw rebecca..........

ran kept talking to rebecca and noticed someone .......

[Suzune Himagawa]

(OOC: this was during the night...^^)
Almost being able to sleep at night..Suzune suddenly woke up when she heard someone saying something...She went out her room wearing her pajamas. She looked outside the window (outside her room). When she saw a girl dressed in white. She ran outside the dormitory to see that girl. She was not really afraid because she's been alone for a long time(when she was in their old house) and some imaginations about some ghosts being with her. When she she was outside the girl in white was gone...A moment passed then she suddenly remember her mother. The times when she was still a toddler..A lot of flashbacks came to her. Then she fell to the ground...her head and heart aching...then she fell unconscious to the ground...

[Hiei]

New here? Hiei shook his head with a sigh, answering her question, then stood up, leaving the cup at the table for the vendors to go pick it up. Taking his bag and slinging it over his shoulders, he walked out of the dining room, his left hand holding his bag strap and his right in his pocket with the thumb sticking out. He turned to his right once he exited the large crowded room, once more grateful that he was alone. Still, what he had heard the girl say earlier interested him.

Hiei made his way where they had seen the ghost. The moment he turned at the hallway, his eyes opened wide with what he saw. There was a girl lying on the ground. Hiei ran over to her, dropping his bag on the way. He knelt down beside her, then turned her over to see her face. Well, at least she was still alive. He opened her eyes, looking into the blank blue orbs. Still unconcious, though. He surveyed the area, but gritted his teeth when seeing that no one else was around.

Sighing, he picked the girl up gently and placed her arm around his shoulder. It was a long walk to the infirmary, but he didn't have to go the whole way. He'd just have to find someone to help him bring this girl there, then he would return to this area to investigate the sightings. True, it may have only been someone using their Alice, but knocking out one of the students too? Someone was being naughty. And Hiei was going to find out who.

[Rebecca Williams]

I still had the goosebumps from what I saw last night. But I gave thought to what that Hiei guy said...It may be someone just playing a practical joke on me.

When I was walking in the hallway I saw someone holding a girl that was unconscious. I was surprised to see that it was Suzune.

"Hey, what happened here?"I asked the guy who was holding her.

He answered,"Hiei, asked me to bring Suzune to the Infirmary..."

"Hiei...! That guy!!! What has he done to Suzune? Why I oughta...Where did you last see him? I 've got to confront him on what he did to Suzune!!"I said

He told me that Hiei was at the 3rd floor. I went to where the guy told me Hiei was. When I saw him, he was like looking for something. Before I went close to him, I blew up the plant vase that was beside him. When it blew, he had no reaction as if nothing happened. He just looked at me. The blowing up of the vase for me was supposed to tell him I was angry at him for what he did to Suzune but the result was nothing what I expected. He just stood there looking at me and said...

"Buzz off, little girl..."

At first I was surpirsed at what he said because I was expecting he would shout at me or something...But anyway, I confronted him.

"Hey!!!! You!!! How dare you! What did you do to Suzune??? Answer me!!!"I said angrily.

[Hiei]

Turning back to his search, he replied. "I didn't do anything. I simply found her lying unconcious on the ground. I just brought her to a student and told him to bring her to the infirmary. That answered your question, I hope." He didn't even turn to look at the girl. True, had had been surprised at the exploding vase, but Hiei had learned how to hide his emotions. He surveyed the area in front of him once more, trying to find any clues as to who was here, but his efforts were in vain.

"Whoever that ghost was, or its creator and the person who possible knocked the girl out, he sure knows how to hide evidence. The only way we'll be able to find out what happened is by asking her." Hiei turned his head lightly to the right, his crimson-pupilled eyes looking at the girl that stood behind him. Giving the scene one last look, he sighed and turned around, walking towards the direction of the girl.

He walked past her, but stopped as he did. He spoke in his usual voice. Emotionless. "Don't think me wrong, but next time, don't jump into conclusions so easily. I may be 'cold-hearted' as some say, but that doesn't mean I've no heart." He continued his stride, grabbing his bag and slinging it over his shoulder as he walked away, his hands where it had been earlier. The left holding the bag strap and the right in his pocket.

[[OOC: One more thing. Your not allowed to control other people's characters. It's called god-modding. God-modding is BAD. Ok? ^_^]]

[Rebecca Williams]

I was surprised that he really wasn't the one who did that to Suzune. When he passed by me, I felt that he was really hurt by what I said to him.

I looked back at him and said..."I'm...sorry...I'm sorry for jumping into conclusions...I...I just wanted to know who did this to my friend ...that's all...I did not want to hurt your feelings...I'm sorry...By the way...Can I help you in your investigation?"

>>I'm sorry for "controlling" you...hahaha I won't do it again. Promise! hahaha<<<

[Hiei]

Hiei stopped, his head turning slightly to look at the girl once more. After five seconds of silence, of staring, Hiei finally moved, shifting his body so that his right faced the girl. Letting out a soft sigh, he shook his head, then looked at her, speaking once more. "Think nothing of it. I would have done the same...If I had any friends, that is. And if you want to help, feel free to do so. For one, maybe you could ask that friend of yours what happened."

Giving her a nod, the closest to a friendly gesture Hiei ever gives, he started to turn back, but stopped haflway and looked at the girl once more. "Any thing else to say before I go?" He waited there, his crimson eyes looking into the girl's. He pulled at his bag strap, noticing that it was slipping off his shoulders. Either than that, he didn't move at all while waiting for the girl's answer.

[Rebecca Williams]

"ummm....ahhh...Thank...thank you....okay, i'll ask Suzune what really happened to her and I'll tell you at once whatever she says....I'm sorry again..."I said to him...

I was turning red and wwas totally shy and embarrased and ran away while saying,"I'm sorry...I'm really sorry...I have to go...by...bye!"

[Hiei]

Hiei cocked his eyebrows as he watched how the girl reacted to her question, especially at the blush. What the...Well, at least he had one less task to do. Now, to get access into the school student files. He needed to see what powers there were and who were the possible suspects. He had done this many times before, always seeing if anyone would have proven a challenge for his skills and his Alice. None had succeeded, except for Isaac. He sighed. He seriously wished to experience the thrill of battle once more.

As he watched the girl run away blushing, Hiei turned back to his destination. A thought hit him, though. What was the girl's name? And that meant both girls. No, wait. The girl who had been knocked out was Suzune, or that was what the girl called her. Had he shunned himself from the public so much that he lost track of the newcomers? He let out a sigh, then continued walking away, his head hung low once more as he made his way towards the school office.

Still slightly wondering why the girl had blushed, he turned at a corner and stopped in his tracks as he felt an unusual presence around. A very familiar presence. He looked at his right arm, raising it above his face to look at the Dark Dragon tattoo. The eye was glistening once more, as if covered by glitter. In several occasions did this happen, and yet Hiei couldn't understand what it meant. Ignoring it for a moment, he continued on his small journey.

[Rebecca Williams]

I stopped by the corner before going inside the infirmary. I then took time to catch some air to breathe. I then thought about what had happened back there at the dormitory. Why did I blush? Was there any reason to blush? Especially at a person who is very mysterious? Why did i feel the way i felt a while ago? What was in that Hiei guy that made me...blush?

After that, I just focused my attention on Suzune. I went inside the infirmary. I went inside Suzune's room.

[Ran Kotobuki]

hey rebecca i heared what happened to suzune ..... so i came here ......

[Rebecca Williams]

I saw Ran walk towards me. We talked about Suzune.

"Okay, your help would be very grateful for Suzune. I'll just talk to you later. I have to ask Suzune some questions first...Okay? Bye=)" I said.

[Suzune Himagawa]

(OOC:Suzune is inside the infirmary...the topic there is "what happened?")

[Rebecca Williams]

When I went inside, I saw Suzune on the bed. Fortunately she was already awake.

"Suzune, I'm glad you are okay...Is everything all right with you now? What happened back there? Who did this to you? Do you know him or her?"I asked her.

[Suzune Himagawa]

Suzune said to her "huh..? where am I anyway...what am I doing here...What happened to me...?" Then she touched her chest...and said "what did happened to me...?" Suzune suddenly remembered what happened to her....she replied to Rebecca "oh..I'm alright...really.." then Suzune's head was suddenly aching...

[Ran Kotobuki]

ran was walking aroung and saw the guy she saw earlier in black .......

hey that is headed to the school office but why ..........

ran followed the mysterous boy but he spotted her ........

hehe ...... (ohhh man ..... >__<) hey what are you up to you guy in black ........ ran asked ....
ran staired and waited for his answer (ohh man this might ake for ever ) ran thought ......

[Rebecca Williams]

I was glad that Suzune was alright.

"You're in the infirmary. Hiei saw you unconscious in the dorm hallway so he told someone to bring you here. Why did you become unconscious anyway? Who did this to you?"I asked her.

[Hiei]

[[OOC: Ugh...Have you read the rules? No god-modding. Meaning, you can't control other people's characters...>>]]

Hiei stopped when he heard footsteps behind. He slowly turned around and saw that girl from the dining room, the one who thought that he was new here. He sighed, then turned back to his destination. He was about to continue his walk, when the girl asked a question. Flinching, he turned once more and looked at her deep in the eye. Guy...in...Black? Ugh...

"You should know. You were following me, weren't you?" Instead of waiting for her answer, he turned back towards the direction of the office and continued walking. Seriously, the new-comers were getting to his nerves. But hell, he figured that they would. They were, after all, still kids, and they were girls. They tended to be more playful and mischievious. And from the looks of the girl that followed him, she was VERY playful.
