Naofumi stroked Rainy's hair gently. "See? You just had to relax." His ears pricked as a white haired kid pulled the chair out opposite them and sat down. He glanced up for a brief second, opening his mouth to speak but Rainy beat him to it. So he just sat and waited for an answer, his tail flicking impatiently.

Tamaki froze. "Crap. They noticed me." He thought. He sighed. "Well, I can't ignore them now." He looked up slowly and took in every detail of the people opposite him. "Um...I'm Tamaki Miyako." He said gently.

Akinori leant back on his chair and flicked his tail. "Should we go and say hi or leave it til lunch?" He asked, playing with one of the spikes in his blonde hair. "Do you play any musical instruments Lacy?" Justin asked.

Rainy's tail flicked violently behind her as she stared at Tamaki with her sharp eyes. She was beginning to get impatient, as he remained quiet. Then at last he spoke. She stood up, and grabbed his chin, forcing him to turn his head everytime she moved her hand. It seemed harsh, but she had to carry out this test, as his personality wasn't up to scratch (In Rainy's standards). She pulled his lower eyelid downwards, observing the whites. Funny, his eye whites seemed normal. More tests. His teeth are excellent, hair is in good condition, scent is strong. Rainy was puzzled. Everything was fine, but the scent was literally, out of this world. She sat back, stunned into silence. Who WAS this guy, and why was he here? The question confused her further, and she flopped onto the desk, exhuasted. "Sorry.....About that.....It's.....part.....of my...manners....." Rainy panted, wiping her brow. A trail of blood ran down her chin from her nose. Another nose bleed. She clutched her nose desperately, blood seeping out from the gaps between her fingers and splashing onto the desk. "I think I need a tissue...."

Lacy looked at Akinori and said "I think we should wait til lunch to introduce ourselves." She then looked at Justin and smiled "Yes, i do. I am a bassist."

Tamaki looked at Rainy, confusion in his turquoise eyes. He turned his head everytime she wanted him to and didn't flinch when she examined his eye whites. His mind was filled with questions like "Why are you doing this?" but his lips stayed silent. He noticed her confused expression as she leant backwards. "It's fine." He said when she apologized. "I'm used to people acting that way around me." Naofumi looked at Rainy and noticed that she was having a nose bleed. "Here you go Rainy." He said, handing her a tissue.

i will post on bloody moon soon =) probably tomorrow

"Yeah, that seems like a logical choice." Akinori nodded, leaning back on his chair and putting his legs on the table. He smiled gently, happy that he had made some good friends. Cloud, Ed, Alec and Vincent looked at the clock. "Lesson's nearly over." Cloud muttered. "Awesome. I play the guitar too." Justin smiled.

ight thats fine Lacy smiled at Justin "Nice!"

Rainy's hand darted out and grabbed the tissue, and she ran out of the room. Blood seeping out from her nose trickled onto the clean floor tiles, staining it an ugly scarlet. She managed to escape into the bathroom, panting and out of breath. Collapsing on the door to the bathroom, she tilts her head backwards slightly, and dabs gingerly at her bloody nose, holding the tissue in place until the bleeding stops. "So....How'd it go?" Rainy jumped, startled. She fiddled with the earpiece that Eric gave her, and slotted it carefully into a delicate fold in her bat ears. She could hear him alot better now; that voice she'd heard was obviously quite muffled because the earpiece was hidden in her bag. She adjusted the volume levels, and listened to what he had to say. "Anything...new?" "Not that I know of... Except for this new student." Rainy heard a shocked gasp from the other end of the line. "Is his name....Tamaki by any chance?" Rainy was confused. Why did Eric know this? HOW did he know this? What confused her further, was what he said next. "Sho knew him." Eric muttered, the sound of paper rustling in the background. ".....Sho...?" "Mesu's brother. Remember? He fixed your bike when you were 7." Rainy giggled at the fond memory. She remembered Sho alright. The rusty goggles sitting on top of his head, the smell of oil and petrol.... His flaming red hair. Her most loved cousin. How could she not remember him? "I've gotta go, somebody is coming. I'll talk to you later." Rainy babbled, and took the earpiece out and slipped it into her bag. How did Sho know this...this...Marauder? Whatever the reason was, she had to simply continue ordinary life. For now.

ooc: Intros :) Name: Sho Ineori Age: 21 Hair: Crimson red, although the brightness of it depends on how long he's been off work. Which is hardly, so his hair is normally rusty red. Eyes: Green Height: 6' 1 Occupation: Mechanic. Works 4 days a week with a very good pay. Clothes: Sleeveless Mesh shirt displaying his abs, long, torn black jeans, and goggles balancing on top of his head. Often wears a pink crayon attached to a string as a necklace. Rainy apparently made it for him. Enjoys wearing chain bracelets, dog tags, and a load of other stuff. Personality: Shy, but gentle, and has a way with kids. Somewhat flirtatious, but has a sunny nature. Smile is his best quality. Extra: He's a real ladies man. He's never had girlfriends to speak of however, as he fears a relationship will interrupt his work time. He loves working overtime, as he frequently does, but unfortunately hardly has any time to see his family.

Ooc: adding someone new X3

Justin nodded before smiling warmly at Lacy. The bell rang and Cloud rose slowly from his seat. "So Lacy... do you want to go with me to the cafeteria or with Vincent, Justin, Akinori, Alec and Ed to our usual space?" He asked, tilting his head to the side. Vincent stood beside him, his arms folded across his chest.

Naofumi watched Rainy dash out of the room, his ears back, worry painted on his face. He got up, walked out of the room and sat on the bench opposite the bathroom, waiting for her to come out. Tamaki walked into the bathroom to wash the smudge of black paint from his face. He also wanted to put some black make-up on his eyes. He looked into the mirror and began to wash his face.

Kei walked casually through the doors, scanning his surrounding environment. "Hmm...not the worst I've seen." He thought. He dashed into the bathroom and picked up two scents. "That scent is all too familiar." He thought. His eyes fell on a white-haired guy. His appearance was angelic and he was facing the mirror applying guy-liner. Kei walked past him and glanced around for a bit before he saw Rainy. He ran over to her. "Hey Kaede!" He yelled, his arms wrapping around her in a warm embrace. "How have you been?" He noticed her bloody nose. "What happend to you?" He asked, wiping a bit of blood from her face. He licked his finger clean before gazing into her eyes, waiting for an answer.

Lasy smiled and said "Don't you guys all go together to lunch?"

"Well, some of us go to get lunch and the others go and get the table to make sure no-one else does." Cloud smiled. Justin stood up and said, "I can take her to the lunch hall. It saves you doing it Cloud." He smiled at Lacy.

Lacy smiled back at Justin and looked at Cloud "Yeah, I'll go with Justin then." She then looked at Justin and held out her hand for him to hold it "Lead the way." she said still smiling. Lacy had always been the flirt at her old school until that one day of the accident.

Rainy blinked, before inhaling heavily. She sighed nostagically, burying her head in his shoulder. She was so used to treating Kei like an older brother, rather than a cousin. "It's been too long Kei..." she whispered, gazing up at him. He hadn't changed a bit since she last saw him. Maybe his shoulders were a tiny bit broader, but that soft face was still the same. "I'm alright, just a bit of a nose bleed..." She paused. "You? You look a bit...Ruffled." Rainy thought for a second. "Where's Sho?"

"What?!" An impatient sigh came from an old guy, sitting at a desk, looking irritated. "You didn't get the job. Live with it." A hand darted out and stole the info paper from the old guys hands. "It looks as if you based me on appearance, rather than abilities." Sho had been sitting at this interview for over 2 hours now, arguing with this guy who seemed to have jumped to conclusions. Sho had come hunting for a decent job whilst here, and was finding it very difficult to get on with this county's residents. The old man sighed thoughtfully. "Well, I COULD offer you a teaching job here," He paused delicately. "4 days a week as a substitute teacher if that's alright with you?" Sho rose out of his seat suddenly and seized the old guys hand, rattling it harshly rather than shaking it. "You won't be dissapointed!" Snatching the form from the desk in front of him, Sho leaps to his feet and strides out, ducking under the door. He shuts it gently behind him and proceeds to the lunch hall/ cafeteria/ canteen/ whatever to enjoy one of lifes greater pleasures: Senseless indulgence.

"Ok. See you guys later." Cloud said, walking outside into the playground. He sat down at their usual bench and sighed. Vincent sat next to him and looked up at the clouds. "I hope it doesn't start to ran." He stated absent-mindedly. Ed, Akinori and Alec sat on the opposite side. Akinori lay his head on the table and closed his eyes.

Justin smiled before putting his hand in Lacy's. He led her into the cafeteria and picked up a tray. "So what do you want for lunch?" He asked, tilting his head to the side.

Lacy smiled back at Justin "Umm, how bout pizza?" she said looking at the food with her heavily eyeliner ed eyes. Her eyeliner bright out her bright blue eyes and they tend to appeal to people. Everyone used to love her eyes back in Transylvania.

Kei nodded his head in agreement. "I've missed you." He helped her up and propped her up against the wall so she didn't fall over. "Sho's applying for a job. I hope he's got it." He sighed deeply. "So who's this guy?" He whispered, pointing to Tamaki. "Oh and I think there's a guy waiting outside for you."

"Yeah, pizza sounds good." Justin said. "They sell the pizza in the boxes like you get when they deliver them to your house." He picked up two boxes of pizza and put them on a tray. "What about drinks?" He asked, looking at Lacy's eyes. "Wow, that's nice eyeliner Lacy." Justin smiled. "It really brings out your eyes."

Lacy giggled and smiled "Thanks, lots of people always tell me I have killer eyes." she said, looking Justin into his eyes. "Umm, I'll just have water, i should be really staying off the caffine...." She said trailing off, lost in his eyes.

"Oh really?" Rainy smiled to herself sunnily, giggling. "I think I might have an idea who that is," She giggled again, and then her smile slipped. "I don't know who THAT guy is....But...."

"Wow.." Sho was gazing in amazement and sudden awe at the lunch hall. The amount of food he saw was probably more than he would ever see in his entire lifetime. This was because he lived life and earned his meals the hard way; hunting. The diet was basic, and the food simple. The only time he had a change in diet was whenever he ventured out to the market to pick up supplies, but would occasionally indulge in some form of sweet food, or little snacks. But overall, he was simply picky with what he ate. "Whaddya' want hun'? Anythin' tickle yer' fancy?" A stocky, short woman asked from behind the counter with raised eyebrows. Sho snapped out of his daydream, looking embarrassed. His hand reached out and took 7 various fruit from the fruit bowl and sat them on his tray before walking towards a table. Casually, he picks up a whole mango and using his dangerously sharp teeth, tears off a huge chunk, teeth slicing through with ease. In less than a minute, he starts on an orange, placing it in the palm of his hand. His long tongue darts out and wraps around the orange, drawing it whole into his mouth. To an ordinary person, this was an astonishing feat, but to a bat it was like any everyday person eating fruit. Despite eating 7 fruit in less than 5 minutes, he still was empty. And the thing he craved most on this particular day; fresh meat.

"You're welcome." Justin smiled. He picked up two bottles of water and some cans of lemonade and put them on the tray. "Don't worry about paying. I've got it covered." He smiled handing the lunch lady a £5 note. He took the change and put it into the pocket on his jeans. Then he took Lacy's hand and led her out of the now-crowded lunch hall.

"Judging by your laughter I'm guessing you have a thing for that guy outside." Kei laughed, elbowing her playfully. He tilted his head to the side. "But what?" He asked. Tamaki turned around suddenly. "Can I help you?" He asked, blinking his penciled eyes a few times as he tried to remember the name of the guy who was sitting next to Rainy.

Lacy smiled and giggled. "Thanks for paying for me."

Justin smiled. "You're welcome. That's what friends are for, right?" He laughed gently as he led her outside to the usual seat. He smiled at the rest of the group before sitting down and putting the tray on the table. He looked towards Lacy and patted the empty space next to him.

Lacy smiled at Justin, blushing a little and sat next to him, looking at the rest of the group she said "Hello." She then looked at Justin adoringly, then looked away and down at the floor. 'Oh my gosh, he's soo cute...' she thought to herself.
