Outsiders

~Ai~

When I woke up Alex was dressed and finishing up his homework. "Sensei was here. You know what that means right?"

I sat up, and rubbed some sleep out of my eye. "Strike two...one more and I'm out." Alex looked over at me. "You seem pretty relaxed." I just shrugged, and went to the bathroom.

Alex knocked at the door. "Ai...are you ok?" Of course he knew I wasn't ok. I looked in the mirror and tried to find my usual scowl. When I walked out of the bathroom I gave him a smirk. "If you keep worrying about me so much you'll get wrinkles. I can't have a wrinkly old man as my partner."

He rolled his eyes. "How do you think I feel about being stuck with a whiny little brat all the time?" I just raised an eyebrow and put my hand on my hip. "Whiny little brat?" Alex laughed. "Wrinkly old man?"

It was time for night class. Yami and Ryuu came in and Yami impaled Sensei's desk with two scythes. Alex chuckled. "Not bad." I looked over at him. "What?" He nodded towards Yami as she placed her trophies in her chest. "She only needed one...but she has two. Her and Ryuu took out 2 Reapers. That is impressive."

I didn't understand, but Alex knows more than I do. If he says it is impressive it must be true. Now I was kinda curious about just how strong Ryuu and Yami were.
