New Lives

A/N:
Smint45: thanks for the review, and yes, it is in our time as high school students. so yes everyone is at least 16 no older then 18...except for teachers of course! and that was just the prologue!

CHAPTER 1:
Two pairs of moss green eyes glanced up tiredly when a loud bang came along with a growl. “Zalion! Laydin! What the hell is wrong with you? We’re going to be late cause you idiots aren’t up yet!”

An elegant looking man in a well fitting black t-shirt and tight blue jeans stood there, his straight gold hair hang down to brush the tops of his low rise pants. The men the green eyes belonged too just grunted and each rolled over, pulling their blankets back over themselves as they turned to face the walls their beds were against. “Zalion, if you and Laydin don’t get up, I’m going to call in Bathen and Athen to pull you out of those beds.”

Both men instantly sat up and stretched. “Give us ten minutes and we’ll be ready.” One said already working on sliding on a pair of jeans while the other brushed his oddly turquoise colored hair.

The elegant looking man nodded and walked toward the stairs, ignoring their ‘father’ as normal and going to check on the twins to make sure that they too were ready to go, he knew Hith was, after all he had already been up and ready when the blond haired man had gone to wake him.

“So, let me guess, you threatened them with the twins?” Hith drawled lightly from the stairs. His emerald colored eyes sparkled in mirth as his china colored hair stood out against the simple dark blue sweater that sat over a pair of black jeans, encasing his hips and showing the world that yes, he was quite beautiful and no, you couldn’t touch.

“Who threatened who with us?” asked a soft sweet voice as two other males walk out of their bedrooms. One with umber eyes and the other with vermillion they weren’t exactly twins in looks, even though Athens hair was the color of his twin, Bathen’s, eyes. It had been Athen that had asked the question, tilting his head as he swept his hair back as Bathen moved around them.

Both twins wore soft looking pants that smoothed and cupped over their thighs, legs and hips. Bathen wore a battered looking shirt and had an equally battered jacket over one shoulder while Athen wore a soft, cashmere cowl necked sweater, both looking delicious and rather untouchable.

“Of course, what else could I do to get them out of bed? They’re both utterly lazy in the mornings.” The blonde said softly, running a hand through his long hair. He shook his head and reached out to a table next to him in the hallway and grabbed a small black ribbon. He scooped up his hair tying it loosely into a ponytail, he felt and the front and flicked his short bangs to the right so they fell across his face slightly.

A couple moments later Laydin and Zalion came walking out of their room. The turquoise haired one wore a pair of tight black leather pants, a tight black and red shirt that made it look like he’d been sliced up and a long black duster. His naturally olive skin stood out against his two slightly tanned brothers. The other, this one with ash gray hair wore a soft white t-shirt and a pair of regular blue jeans.

“Black, seriously Laydin, we need to go shopping and get ya some more colors.” The blonde chuckled as he reached out to brush a strand of the shoulder length blue hair back.

“Nadon, how about you get something other then form fitting?” the other snapped at him as he brushed past and into the kitchen, almost running right over the twins.

“Grumpy much?” Bathen hissed, his umber eyes glaring before he pouted as Athen smacked his shoulder.

“Gods, you two like to fight. Come on. It’s Hith’s turn to cook, isn’t it?” Athen asked, turning to Hith who nodded with a smile as he move to the rather large kitchen where he pulled off covers over platters of food.

“I made what we had. We’ll have to go shopping today after school. That means that we’ll have to bring the van,” he said, putting out plates with the help of Athen and Bathen. The twins looked at each other before turning to Nadon with twin puppy eyes and pouts.

“Nadon! Drive the van today? You don’t suck at it,” Came twin voices filled with sweetness and light with just a touch of mischief.

The blonde chuckled lightly and nodded to the two looking at him mischievously. “And what are you planning? If you get us kicked out of this school He’s going to have your asses.”

Laydin shrugged past Hith to grab the coffee pot and pour two large cups full of the brown liquid. He handed one to Zalion and they downed the cups in seconds, and the turquoise haired brother refilled them.

After another two cups each, which emptied their coffee pot the two green eyed men sat down at the table to eat. “So, what is all this Hith?” Zalion asked calmly.

“We’re not planning much. Just planning on teasing any idiots that we come across,” Athen said sweetly, coming across as the sweeter of the two. He was much more devious since he was the brains of the twins. Taking his seat, Bathen snickered and shook his head as he watched his twin start a new pot of coffee.

“I made the last of the eggs, sausage, both links and patties, pancakes and waffles and of course, toast and the vegan bacon for those of us who don’t eat meat,” Hith replied, sitting down and picking up the platter piled high with fluffy eggs.

“Did you add cheese to the eggs?” Bathen asked, bringing out a couple of pitchers of juices, one umber eyebrow raised as he put them down in the middle of the table.

Hith nodded with a smirk. “Of course. Just pure milk won’t make them light and fluffy,” he said sweetly, handing the platter off to Athen to take.

Nadon shook his head slowly with a wide smile, “Damn, Hith you do know how bad that sounded right?”

Laydin snorted and looked up at Nadon. “Get your head out of the gutter, that’s disgusting, some of us don’t have as strong a stomach as you.”

The blond laughed again and looked over at the man dressed in mostly black. “My mind’s not in the gutter, it’s in the 27th sub level of the sewer system, one more sublevel down and I’d be popping out in main street Tokyo.” He looked over at Zalion and shrugged when the other playfully narrowed his eyes and lightly shook his head.

“Perverts, the lot of you,” Hith sniffed, looking affronted even though his eyes sparkled as he set some of the bacon onto his plate and handed the rest to Athen who was trying hard not to laugh.

“Are you sure you haven’t hit Harujuku already?” Bathen drawled, spearing a couple of sausage links and a patty before reaching for a rather large waffle and the warm syrup he knew that Hith had gotten up early to make.

“He’s right. Are you sure you’re not amongst all those oddly dressed school girls and boys?” Athen asked sweetly before nibbling on a piece of the bacon, looking entirely to innocent as he coyly toyed with a piece of sausage on his plate.

“Might of…ya never know.” Nadon drawled his tone light and teasing. He was glad he’d tied up his hair when he though about how much stuff he could have ended up with in it had he not. “We’ve got about ten minutes and then we gotta be out that door to make it in time for the first class of the day, and we all have calculus for the first class of the day? We wont be splitting up quite yet?”

Laydin stuffed a sausage link into his mouth and got up to poor himself some more coffee, grabbing Zalion’s cup as well knowing his brother would need another cup so e didn’t attempt to maim or kill anyone their first day.

Zalion had a heaping plate and in less then two minutes he had inhaled all the food on it but a slice of the vegan bacon he’d accidentally grabbed. He drained his coffee cup and stood up, going to retrieve every one’s packs for the school day from the attic.

“No, we have classes together for the first two, then lunch and then the helpless junior over there is taking German 3 while we take French,” Bathen replied, finishing off his food as Athen and Hith followed his example, the three finishing off the coffee and pouring some into Nadon’s cup.

“Money has been placed into backpacks, by the way. Tomorrow, you guys are on your own for remembering,” Hith warned, moving to grab his green shoulder bag, a Greek letter on the front of it as Bathen grabbed his back, a small Ankh hanging from it as Athen grabbed his, a silver owl the sign for Athena, the goddess he was named after, hanging from his zipper.

“I’m ready if you are. Who’s riding in the jeep with me?” Hith asked, grabbing his keys and padding into the garage where four vehicles sat, the rest in a semi shelter off the garage side.

“Yikes, Hith, try to stay out of trouble in your German class, okay?” Nadon asked softly, reaching out and taking his blue bag with a wave charm.

Zalion handed Laydin his red and black back with a skull charm and held onto his own bag, flipping it up on his right shoulder, the bag sky blue. They all went out into the garage, oddly enough Laydin and Zalion were starting to wake up already, and it was before noon. At Hith’s question Laydin and Zalion immediately went to stand next to the jeep, flipping their bags into the back.

Nadon shrugged and walked over to the van. “So, Bathen, Athen you guys wanna ride with me?” he opened the driver side door and smiled broadly at them. “I’ve got my evanescence CD today.”

“Yeah, sure, as long as the teacher isn’t an idiot like last time,” Hith snorted before climbing into his jeep, settling in and looking rather small in the large car. “I hope you realize that you aren’t getting out of helping me shop today. If you do, you’re going to be stuck with toilet duty for a month,” the small male called out, making Bathen and Athen snort and nod.

“Yeah, we’re riding with you, Nadon,” Athen replied, sliding into the vans passenger side door as Bathen got into the back, closing the door with a grunt.

“Which one? ‘Open Door’ or ‘Fallen’?” Bathen asked, putting his bag down at his feet and twitching a bit, his eyes narrowing as he felt something tweak in his head. It wasn’t often, but occasionally his instincts kicked up and told him to prepare for something big.

Laydin chuckled meaning he was fully awake. “Just cause you’re a natural at German and you aren’t supposed to know it yet, is no reason to say the teachers are idiots.”

“Both, how come? The new ones on my I-pod, I can put it on the converter or we can listen to an actual CD.” Nadon replied with a smile as he started the van. “See ya!” he called out the window and waved to Hith before pulling out f the garage and heading to the school. He found to empty spots next to each other and parked, waiting in the vehicle till their siblings got their, besides, tourniquet wasn’t over yet.

“I will bite you,” Hith hissed following after their ‘brothers’, pulling in beside him just as Tourniquet ended. “We all agree to give this place a chance before pouting the father figure into moving us back to New York?” he asked, everyone, getting a nod from Athen and a grunt from Bathen.

“Same goes for you and this vendetta against German teachers,” Bathen said, smirking at the flurry of guttural curses that came from Hith as he hopped down and locked his doors.

“They don’t know any good curses. There fore, they’re useless,” Hith finally said, shoving a piece of hair back and tilting his head to the side. “Think we’ll find some one to finally lay Athen?” he asked sweetly, easily dodging the flying bag that Athen swung at his head. Snickering, he stuck his tongue out at the bright red male.

“Shove a toy up your ass and rotate,” Athen hissed before turning to Laydin. “Laydin, Hith is being mean to me again!”

The olive skinned man reached out and drew Athen to his chest, and cupped his face drawing his hand up so that Athen had to look up at him. “You do know he is right, someone really should lay you though.”

Zalion got out of the jeep laughing. “Great, make us look like we’re an incestuous family.”

Nadon joined in the laughter as he got out of the van. “Come on guys, we gotta get to the first class of the day. So, Calc it is!” he walked towards the building, his long hair swaying as he moved and his elegantly regal attitude made people step out of the family’s way in the hall as they moved through the large school. “Finally, room 207.” Nadon said with a smile, he opened the door and led the other five in.

A woman of about 25-26 looked up as the posse walked into the class room. “Are you looking for something?” she asked in a sweet and motherly alto, her gray blue eyes looking at them questioningly.

“Get your mind out of the gutter,” Athen pouted, hugging Laydin around his waist. “Just because I like to snuggle my brother, who just happens to be the same age as me, doesn’t mean I want to screw him. As for you two, I know I need to get laid. I just…haven’t found that wow factor yet. You guys have, but I know it was boring after a few times.”

Snorting as they followed, the twins and Hith blinked at the teacher before looking at each other and then the teacher again. “Yes, we’re the newest students,” Hith finally said, poking Nadon in the back to get him to talk. He hated talking unless it was with family. Athen looked like he had decided that Laydin’s side was a good place to burrow himself into and Bathen looked decidedly bored as he slipped off his jacket, looking around them.

“Oh, I’m sorry,” the teacher blushed bright red when all the triplets smiled at her warmly. “I didn’t get pictures I was just told to expect you.”

“It’s fine.” Nadon said smoothly, his deep tenor was oddly calming and rather like running water. “Shall we introduce ourselves to the class then or just go sit?”

“Why don’t you each introduce your selves, name, age, year, and something about yourselves?”

The triplets looked at each other and shrugged. Laydin spoke up, his baritone harsh and dry instead of the warm tones he used when talking to his siblings. “Laydin, 18, senior, and I’m those two’s brother.” He gestured at Zalion and Nadon with a flick of his right hand while his left was wrapped securely about Athens’s waist as he half hid against his side.

“Zalion, 18, senior, I’m one of triplets.” He said with a shrug, and his moss colored eyes looked about the room settling on a man with golden eyes and black hair and a flash of recognition ran through his mind but he couldn’t place it.

“Nadon, I’m 18, I’m a senior, and I am very protective of my family.” He smiled warmly at the class, his sandy colored eyes and long hair making almost every girl in the room smile back. He then glanced over at Bathen and nudged him with a shoulder.

“I’m Bathen. I’m 18 and the twin to the one who is using Laydin as a shield and a personal teddy bear,” Bathen said, smacking at his brothers shoulder with a bored look in his eyes, sliding over a couple of people that made him twitch in recognition.

“I’m also four minutes older then you and more liable to bite,” Athen hissed before pouting. “I’m Athen and I’m 18. I’m the older twin but the second youngest brother,” he said, looking up from Laydin’s side and looking over every one before blushing.

“And the shyest,” Hith purred before waving his hand. “I’m Hith and I’m 17, a junior and I’m going to be seeing a lot of seniors in my classes. Ah, the love of advanced learning,” he said, his voice light and teasing, before he squeaked and rubbed his ass from where one of his brothers had pinched.

Laydin chuckled as he watched his brother jump after Zalion had pinched his ass. “So, teach where do we sit?”

The woman seemed dazzled by Nadon’s smile like every other girl in the room making all the new students sigh in annoyance except for Nadon whom hadn’t noticed. “Well, um…Laydin, how about you go sit by Orion.” A male raised his hand, he had teal hair tied in a ponytail that reached his shoulder blades.

The turquoise haired triplet shrugged and walked back towards the man, dragging Athen with him. The teacher opened her mouth like she was about to complain till a teen with spiky blond hair stood up and moved over a seat so that Laydin and Athen could sit together.

“Alright, and um…Zalion I think it was? Why don’t you go sit next to Yinal,” she gestured towards the man that seemed rather familiar with his bright gold eyes and shaggy black hair. He nodded and walked back that way, catching Hith’s eye and glancing that way telling him to get a seat near him. “Um…Bathen? How about you sit next to Izin and Sarah.” She gestured towards a male sitting next to a girl that was chatting his ear off, the girl wore a cheerleader’s uniform and the male sat there with a bored expression. His long chestnut brown hair feel loosely around his shoulders.

Laughing quietly and sitting next to Laydin, Athen smiled brightly at the blond haired teen before shifting to play with a bit of his brother’s hair. They might fight and snip at each other, but they were quite loving, especially since Athen had dreams of darkness and Laydin was the only one he could trust to not have someone in his bed at night.

Bathen moved to sit down next to the now named Izin, his eyes taking in the cheerleader with barely disguised dislike as Hith moved to a free seat that was next to Zalion, crossing his legs and just daring the teacher to make him move. Bathen and Laydin snickered as Orion looked over at them with a shy smile, watching the way they interacted.

It looked as if he would have something to tell Gabriel later that day in German. Crossing his ankles, the teal haired student looked up at their teacher with curious eyes as to what she would do with Hith.

“Hith, maybe you should…um.” The woman in front of the class said sternly as she glanced around the room. “Well I guess that will work.” The teacher said softly with a small smile when she saw Nadon’s small frown at her making his brother change seats.

“Hello.” Laydin said softly to the man he was supposed to sit next to while his right hand reached out to play with Athen’s medium length brunette hair. He watched the teal haired male curiously, as he ran a hand through his brother’s locks softly.

Nadon smiled up at the teacher with a gleam in his eyes that only his family would recognize as mischief. He couldn’t wait to annoy this teacher; it would be so easy to get away with it too.
