Right, this was written when I was bored on holiday and was being harassed; so if it's bad, don't blame me.

I'm trying to keep the POV a secret, though it'll probably be obvious, since it can only be one of three people.

It's also kind of, short, for a one-shot, so maybe I'll try and continue it, assuming I get enough requests to do so.

Anyway, hope you enjoy nonetheless and please remember to review.

~-~

Innocence? Everyone seems to think that I am innocent, but they couldn't be further from the truth. I suppose that it's my own fault, I do pretend to be this way, though they haven't really bothered trying to truly get to know me. They are so very naïve, it really is disgusting. I don't understand how anyone can be so clueless; they don't even seem to understand the spirits within the sennen items, despite having interacted with them so much.

I'm beginning to get annoyed with all the acting I have to do for my 'friends', even if it is to make things easier, it still irritates me greatly. I mean, I know everyone acts to some degree, but having to pretend to be so weak and pathetic is something I truly despise.

Sometimes I think about telling them the truth, showing them my true colours, so to speak. Then they would see that I don't need them, or their pathetic friendship. It's infuriating that they think I would be lost without them, the arrogant fools.

I can't help but smile when I sense my yami behind me; I know he's worried. Even if I'm not the innocent everyone thinks I am, it isn't often that I get angry. Sometimes I wonder how I ever survived without him, because I can't imagine being separated from him now, even if we have had our ups and downs.

Speaking of my yami, he's having some difficulty with the modern world, which isn't really surprising considering how much has changed in the last 3000 years. I do help him as much as I can though, even opening my knowledge and memories to assist in his learning. I suppose that must require a lot of trust on my behalf, but I don't really think of it like that, I just do what I can for him.

My yami isn't the only one I actually get along with though; there is another yami and hikari that we are friends with. They are also misunderstood by the others, and often outcast, mainly because the yami is thought of as psychopathic.

I wonder if I would be labelled something similar if they saw what goes on in my head? I think that would be rather amusing actually, they would probably be terrified if they saw inside my mind. Perhaps I should borrow the Sennen Ankh and see how they react?

Now onto a more important matter, I have to go to school shortly and I believe we have a new student, an old friend of mine no less. Should he talk to the others, it could seriously destroy my little façade. Though saying that, even if he doesn't, he will still expect me to act how he knows me and will probably make a scene if I don't.

I have a difficult choice to make; do I try to keep my façade at the risk of causing problems with my old group, or, do I remove it and deal with my supposed 'friend's' reactions and harassment? Either way I'm going to be annoyed.

Maybe I should get my yami to come to school with me? He could look after me, though the teachers would find it strange if I suddenly had a twin. Again, it could be potentially amusing, though it would also probably cause me even more harassment. Minna would be hell, because they wouldn't shut up, they're so nosey. Though saying that, they'll do that anyway because of the school's new arrival.

I'd better hurry up and make a decision, or I'm going to be late for school, which wouldn't be a good idea. Maybe I should just tell my yami what the situation is and see what he decides? I know he always does what is best for me, so if he thinks I'll need him there, he'll come, no matter what.

He decided to come to school with me, much to my relief. I was slightly worried that he'd laugh at me for being so worried over nothing. Thankfully he thought that it wasn't worth the risk and intends to be very over-protective of me. I really am very thankful that I received my sennen item. It's nice to have someone I can depend on a hundred percent and I know won't ever leave me.

It's cold out today, the autumn wind lifting the leaves from the ground in a barrage of colours. It is clear winter is soon to arrive though, from the biting wind and frost covered ground. It's a pity autumn is leaving so soon, it's my favourite season; all the expression that can be seen in this season makes it especially intriguing. Still, the passing of the seasons has to occur; the cycle is needed for life to continue.

Maybe I think far too much, especially over nothing, I do need to keep myself occupied to keep my mind off how cold I am though, so maybe it isn't such a bad thing? My yami isn't complaining about the cold weather though, which is strange, considering he used to live in a much warmer climate. I wonder if the weather doesn't affect the yamis anymore, since they technically died thousands of years ago? Perhaps I'll ask at some point, when I feel more like talking.

We're almost at school now and my nerves have kicked in, I really want to turn around and head home, I can pretend I caught a really bad cold. Being such a 'sweet and innocent' person, I'm bound to get away with it. Something tells me my yami won't agree however.

Just breath deeply and remain calm, everything will be fine. I really wish I could believe that, unfortunately lying to myself isn't going to work. Pity I can't fool myself into believing my own lies, things would be far simpler then.

I think I'd really like my item to transport me to my yami's time right now. I could learn all about his lifetime and avoid this conflict, whilst also gaining an accurate history lesson, for a change. Not that I'm saying my teachers have no idea what they're talking about, or anything like that. Seems I'm trying to lie to myself again, naughty me.

School is becoming closer and closer, any minute now someone I really don't feel like seeing is going to call me. Then the questions about why my yami is with me will start. Why didn't I just stay home? I would have been so much happier there, even more so considering it was actually warm.

My intention is to quickly and quietly enter the school and head to the Principal's office, to make my yami's day here official. I've already planned a story about him having just come here and us deciding to try a day with him at school with me to see how he copes. Being the 'angel' I am, there shouldn't be any hesitation to allow my request. Perhaps this façade wasn't so bad after all.

So far so good, we're inside the school and have yet to encounter anyone. It's also a lot warmer in here, so I'm no longer freezing, though my yami still doesn't seem to register any temperature changes. I think I'm rather jealous that he doesn't have to freeze, but then, I don't really feel like being stuck in an inanimate object forever, so maybe it isn't so bad after all.

Ah, here is the Principal's office, at last. So, I go in, give an award winning performance and obtain a day pass to lessons for my yami, or for today, my brother. This should actually be some fun; assuming my 'brother' doesn't start laughing anyway. Actually, brother has quite a nice ring to it. Anyway, into the office we go.

Well, that was as easy as I thought it would be. The day pass has been set and the two of us will be kept together at all times, just as we wanted. Now is when things start getting difficult however, as its time to go to class. I'm just pointlessly wishing that the entire group is mysteriously ill and aren't in, though as with trying to lie to myself, I know it isn't the case.

Looking in the room, I can see the teacher introducing someone to the class. Looking more carefully, I can see that it is my old friend, I can also see everyone is in, this isn't a good start. I knock on the door and wait for the teacher to come outside. Quickly explaining the situation and that there is no need for an introduction; we are both ushered inside and quickly sit down.

So far, I've managed to avoid eye contact, though making it seem unintentional. I'm a model student after all, so if I should arrive late, for any reason, I must immediately concentrate on the lesson and not anyone else.

I can practically feel my 'brother' trying not to laugh at the whole situation, which doesn't make it easy for me to concentrate and I find it hard not to laugh myself. Sensing someone looking at me, from a direction the others aren't located, I glance across, realising that it's our new arrival.

He seems somewhat annoyed with me, though I don't know why. Perhaps he thought I was ignoring him? I give him a confused look, only receiving a shrug in response. I'll assume in that case, that my initial guess was correct.

I turn my concentration back to the lesson, mentally asking my yami if I missed anything that sounded important, which earned me an "I don't know, I don't think so". I suppose I shouldn't expect him to know though, this is his first time in school, a modern one anyway.

Class has finally finished and my friend quickly comes over, before I have a chance to rather hastily leave. Talking briefly, I actually realise that I missed having normal people around. Since my current group is far from being normal. Unfortunately, it doesn't take them long to come over and start asking a million questions.

Eventually, my yami and my friend both get annoyed with them and tell them to shut up and back off. I then practically get dragged out of the room, away from the source of my growing headache. I can here muttered complaints, as I get further away, then just as I think I'm safe, I hear someone call my name.

~-~

Well, I finally sat down and finished it. Sorry there haven't been any updates recently, but I don't really feel like writing. No idea why that is though.

Anyway, please review and let me know what you think, including if you would like me to continue and guesses of who you think it is, if you really want to.

Thanks for reading this and I hope you enjoyed it. Ja!
