Sao heard the voice and instantly went into defense mode. She stamped out her cigarette, grabbed her bag, and jumped up into the tree branches. Fortunately, the window to the girl's bathroom was only a few feet up.
Sao climbed in, grateful no one else was in there. She poked her head out of the window to see who had ratted on her, and caught a flash of pink. Of course Pink-girl is the one to have seen me. she thought, disgusted.
She pulled out her emergency peanut-butter sandwich, and took several bites of it, making sure the peanut-butter smell completely overwhelmed the smoke on her breath. She then stashed the sandwich back in her lunchbag, and headed off to History, acting like nothing was wrong.

Ichigo picked up her books and said happily,"Oh well.She'll get her just deserves.I know it!" With that, she jumped into the air and punched her fist.Then, a pained look came to her face and she rushed of to class. "Hey Aang!" she smiled, panting as she arrived in her seat."Guess what I saw?" "Is it about that girl you bended?" he asked. PS: No cussing please. Anymore, anyway.

((OOC: Mmkay.))
Sao slid into her seat at the back of the classroom just as the bell rang. So much for skipping class today. she thought grimly. Fortunately it was the last class of the day, and Sao was eager to skulk around the gym and play pranks on the cheerleaders. She propped her elbow under her chin and felt herself grow drowsy as the teacher began talking about the Treaty of Something-or-other, and knew the next hour was going to be painfully slow.

"Yeah, and she-" Ichigo started, but the bell rang.She listened to and copied down notes boredly.When the bell finally rang, she was relieved. She grabbed Aang's hand and pulled him outside. "Let's go get our stuff," she said."Um, wait, where's my locker again?" "We don't have lockers," Aang laughed."This is a boarding school..."

The bell startled Sao of her lethargic state. She grabbed her bag and hurried down to her dorm to dump out her stuff and finish unpacking. She had just arrived this morning and was still anxious as to who her rommate would be.
After about an hour, all of her stuff was unpacked. Her deep red quilt was on one of the beds, and several of her meditation candles were on the bedside table, and her clothes were hung in the closet. Sao collasped on the bed, the strain of the day making her tired.

"Bye Aang! See you later!" Ichigo waved as she looked at her list and headed to her room.She had already picked up the suitcase with her name on it and was climbing stairs, lugging her pack up them.She finally arrived at her room and opened her door.Her mouth dropped.Ms. Rude was sitting on the opposite bed.She leaned on the on the wall outside of the room, her breath ragged. "What am I supposed to do?" she whispered to herself.

"Oh you have got to be kidding me." Sao said when she saw Pink girl was her new roommate. She fell back down onto the bed with a groan. She was having a day of really bad karma.

Ichigo retracted her ears and tail and walked in.The girl was looking at her glumly.Ichigo sat down on the opposite bed, stared at the ground, and said quietly,"Look.I'm sorry that you hate me.And I'm sorry that you have to share a room with me.I really don't think that you'll solve anything by not talking to me.So maybe we could just like each other for now.Maybe things will change.Hm?"

"Look, just leave me and my stuff alone, and we'll be just peachy." Sao said with an obviously forced smile.
With another dirty look, she grabbed her pen and ink set and her sketchbook, and stalked off to go angrily ink blot something.

Ichigo layed down on her bed and sighed. "Well, I tried.She's extremely mean, that girl.She doesn't open up to anyone, doesn't smile, and really makes the worst out of a situation.She'll never have real friends that way, only minions.And they won't even truly like her.They'll just be afraid of her.Either that, or'll they will be really evil and won't understand how she is probabaly, deep down, nice and calm, just affected by something,some emotional blow.It's kinda hard to work with, but if I'm just nice and don't do anything to hurt her,she might just be nice back," she said softly, smiling as she examined one of the drawings the girl had dropped."Plus, I share a hobby with the girl.We both love to draw.I hope that she can see I'm not just pink and perky, and maybe see the real me." Ending with that thought, she got up and took a bath.When she returned, she looked in the bedside mirror.To her suprise (since she had lost her memory), she found that her hair was actually dark brown and that she was wearing pink contacts.She tied it up in a knot on the side of her head,took out her contacts to reveal her blue eyes, and got dressed in a brown and white plaid skirt,brown and white shirt.She tied a ribbon around her neck,put a headband in her hair, and admired herself. "Wow, I look good with my ears retracted,and my pink off," she smiled brightly.Then, she took some water from a cup and, bending it into a ribbon, made it float around the room.Suddenly, the door opened loudly.It was her roomate.

As Sao walked in, the first thing she noticed was pink-girl wasn't as pink as she was before. "What happened to your freaky pink hair?" she asked, not really expecting a response.
She sat on her bed and stowed away her art supplies in a leather bag, and then shoved it under her bed. She lay down on her bed, keeping her head propped up with one arm. "Come to think of it, what happened to the rest of your freaky pink stuff?" she said, her expression almost betraying her real curiosity.

"Well, you wouldn't expect me to have pink hair and eyes etc. ALL the time, would you?" Ichigo smiled happily, crossing her arms."To tell you the truth, even I am suprised at me." She twirled around, admiring her outfit."Technically, I can't be pink-girl in your head anymore.I just have to be Ichigo.Can we be nice to each other now that I'm not as vivid?I actually think that we can be friends."

"Nope, you'll still be pink-girl." Sao said with an almost friendly smile. She rolled over onto her stomach to check her reflection in the small mirror. Satisfied with her disheveled appearance, she sat up and grabbed her bag again. "I've gotta go, I'll see you later."
Sao hurried out of the room and into a secluded spot in the woods. Arriving at a low, flat boulder, she reached into her bag and pulled out three mortuary tablets. Two were new, and held the names of her parents. The other was old and worn, and held the name of her brother. She set them against the edge of the boulder, and withdrew three incense sticks and their holders. Setting one in front of each tablet, she used her Firebending to light each piece of incense. She closed her eyes as the light scent rose into the air, and she began softly saying the prayers for the dead.
When she was finished, she still sat there a while, thinking over her eventful day at school. Pink-girl wanted to be friends it seemed, but Sao didn't think she would ever trust her enough for them to ever be more than roommates. Trust no one, and you won't get hurt. The less people know about you, the greater chance of staying safe. Always remember that, and you will survive. The words of her father echoed in her head, overriding any other instinct. But there was still that little voice This isn't Limao anymore...
Sao stayed there for a few more minutes until she heard the dinner bell. She extinguished the smouldering incense, and left to go to the cafeteria, leaving the tablets behind until she could visit them again.

Ichigo heard the dinner bell and rushed off to dinner. "I don't think that she trusts me," she said sadly to herself as she slid down the stair rails to the dining hall."And I wanted to be friends because she seemed so interesting.It really seemed she could be nice to me.I guess she is being blocked by something." She jumped off the rail and walked down the last few steps, still deep in thought about her roomate.She bumped into some boy walking down the hall. "I'm so sorry," she smiled, still sad a little bit. The boy looked at her wierdly and stuck out his tounge.Seeing his look, she put her face in her hands and said,half-crying," I can't go on like this.No one likes me except Aang, Katara, and Rohaana or whatever her name is, and I feel to separated to even look at them.What's wrong with me?" Then, footsteps aroused her from her thoughts.It was her roomate.

Up ahead Sao saw her new roommate, and purposefully slowed her steps. She didn't really feel like talking right now, as she was still feeling somewhat upset after her previous meditation session.
However, Pink-girl's steps became slower too, and Sao could see she was upset. Before she knew it (maybe it was just her hurt mood she was in) Sao blurted out "What's wrong?"
