I watched as Skylar stalked off...he was moving at a slow enough pace...I could pursue and easily get the information from him. Sure, he seemed all mysterious and scary on the outside, but he didn't realize the depth of my curiosity, nor the power of my insightfulness and persuasive words. The more this thought rolled around in my mind, the more anxious my body became...I was practically ready to RUN off after him....
And then Shori grabbed me by the hand.
"Mei...do not follow him." He stated forcefully, looking me dead in the eyes.
I was captivated by them...his deep blue eyes...deeper than any ocean could possibly be. Eyes...eyes that had witnessed so much pain, so much grief...and yet...eyes that held such an intense love for me. A devotion...a promise to support and protect...I could not turn away.
"Please Mei, just trust me..."
I smiled and embraced him quickly. Looking up into his eyes, I said, "Sho...you know I trust you...if you don't want me to follow...I shan't. I won't even ask why..."
He returned my smile and seemed to hold on tight...I didn't want the moment to end. But it was unavoidable, as more steps neared our position. I peeked out from the side of Shori to find an angel...except...this angel had a black wing. Tainted perhaps? Intriguing...
He stopped dead in his tracks to stare at us. Slowly I pulled away from Shori to get a look at this new person. I scanned him up and down...my gaze falling into his bright blue eyes. They were nothing special next to Shori's...although...they seemed to have an angelic glimmer.
"A Good Evening to the both of you...I see students have begun to arrive already." He began as he approached. "Quite promptly. Commendable." He commented with a slight pause following. "Ahem, yes...my name is Raphael et Sinclair. I am a teacher here at Hano. Well met."
I raised one of my eyebrows...the way he spoke...so proper...he seemed more like a noble than I did half of the time. Yet, he intrigued me...and if I was ever to find out ANYTHING about that wing of his...I would have to play along. I bowed, somewhat, and greeted him. "Well met, Mister Sinclair. I am Shimei, of the Aoitsuki clan. I look forward to seeing you in class." I smiled....an obviously plastered on grin...but what the heck.
"Yes, Good Evening sir." Shori followed up. "I am Shori Benitsuki. Well Met."
Raphael seemed to smile with a slight sadistic pleasure...at least that's how I saw it. oxo "Very good. Well then, I won't keep you any longer. We all have things to attend to before classes start. It was nice to have seen you both. Do make sure you behave yourselves."
Before we could respond...he was gone. The tone of his voice...as though he thought we WOULDN'T behave. pfft! Whatever...
Grabbing Shori by the hand, I pulled him along in an attempt to continue our investigation of the grounds. And then I saw him...by his scent...he was blatantly human. The way he was gazing from the note in his hand to the building, it was as though he were trying to confirm something. Curious...nyaa....
Usually I really didn't care about ANYONE...but it must've been that full moon...slowly preparing to rise that night. Yes...that must've been it. For the full moon...always seemed to awaken that side of me...
Letting go of Shori's hand, I zeroed in on my new target and began the walk towards him. This human in the courtyard.

Personality: Ocean has a pure heart but it is often stained with his dark heritage, being a kind person at heart Ocean can be cold and bitter when pushed the wrong way. Just like the ocean itself it can change suddenly it might seem calm at first but it can become a furious monster! Ocean is a friendly person to get along with but he spends most of his time with Skylar or watching the clouds pass over the heavenly blue sky losing himself in day-dreams and memories of time passed. Enjoying calm he tries to find places to sit in peace and tranquility. He doesn’t try to make many friends as he likes to keep himself, only consulting Skylar on matters; he tries to forget his past and keep the dark memories back from clouding his mind, rewriting his own memories alongside his beloved Skylar. Ocean has a deep attachment to Skylar, too deep for even god himself to cut through the roots of love. If Skylar was to be taken from Ocean he would be an echo of his former self ....and time would slowly break him piece by piece.

Skylar watched with deep, observant eyes the frustrated young girls’ reaction to his calm nature. He gave a small smile to Shori as he introduced himself, his tanned face seemingly highlighted at the slightest crack of a smile. Sky drew his attention sharply back to Shimei as she blurted out her curiosity, hardly containing herself. The smile fell away from Skys’ face as her voice gained an octave.
Sky closed his eyes for just a moment and the night around him seemed to relax. The tension in the air dissipated and he reopened his deep eyes slowly, the small smile across his lips returning. “Miss Aoitsuki, it is a pleasure to meet you as well.” Skylar turned to Shori and gave a slight bow. Looking up through his dark blue locks he kept eye contact and stated “I am Skylar Dreylah, Shori Benitsuki, and I will see you when school starts.”
Skylar arose with poise and kept that small smile across his lips, leaving the two to wonder about his true nature. He was quite amused at the old yet young girl but left her curiosities unanswered, possibly to be answered another day. Sky was not one to give up information so quickly and because the school uniforms would designate his heritage anyway he left the girl to painfully speculate.
Sky walked away at a slow pace and took in the serenity of the night. He walked slowly enough that if Shimei really wanted to chase after him, which he wondered if she actually would, that she could catch up to him…
I sighed inwards as I read the letter again. Yep this was the place. I looked up through the semi-dusk shadows at the academy. So this was the place I ended up....I laughed a bit but then stifled it. I twisted my fingers through my hair and walked into the Hano School grounds.
I kept my head down for the most part as I walked in.

:P sorry I'm brain dead.
I couldn't believe the nerve of my parents...they had dared to send me abroad. To SCHOOL no less! Saying it was for my best interests. For me to learn the ways of our world...and the ways of other races in the process. Chh...like I even cared. I had all out refused, with absolutely NO intentions of giving in...until they also forced Shori to go. To this..."Hano Academy". A Four Race school with teachers of all species apparently...it's reputation far proceeded it. I suppose there was SOMETHING intriguing about its history...but that didn't mean I wanted to LIVE here! If only they hadn't forced Shori...I would NOT be here.
I couldn't stand to be parted from him. Not for one moment. My other...my Only...my Beloved. He was my one treasure in this life. So, if he would have to endure this hellish place called "school", then I would surely do it with him.
We had just arrived and while we weren't exactly astounded by the architecture(having both come from Rome...we'd seen some pretty magnificent structures), it was a decent place. It would serve it's intended purposes at least. The first stop we'd made was the dorms...
"I don't like the looks of this at all Shori...I'm sure we'll be split up..." I moaned as Shori examined the room.
"You don't have to worry Mei." Shori stated, turning to smile at me. "Rules were made to be broken, were they not? Besides, what those in charge don't KNOW won't hurt them, right?" He was standing by the window and seemed to nod in it's direction.
Catching the hint, I smiled widely. "Yes."
Quickly tiring of the surroundings, and knowing night was fast approaching, we decided to get out. It was sunset, but still...I felt the lust for night to come quicker pulse through my entire being. So caught up in this feeling...I didn't notice anything else around me. I felt my shoulder collide with another person...but as though nothing had happened, I continued on my way.
"You would be wise to apologize for that." A woman's voice seemed to growl from behind me. I stopped in my tracks and slowly turned around. Lifting my eyes to meet hers...I could tell immediately.: A pureblood. That explained the overwhelming arrogance in her tone. She'd probably been raised her whole life to think it was her duty to talk down to others. Not saying a word, I turned back around and started back on my way. I owed Nothing to her. "I said, it would be wise of you to apologize." She stated once more...I didn't pay her any mind, but felt her coming at me. I didn't flinch. And then, she was stopped. By Shori.
"And it would be wise that you don't do that." He spoke smoothly, yet with that forceful tone in his voice. A small smile crossed my lips hearing him speak in such a way, but I quickly withdrew it as I turned to meet the gaze of the Pureblood once more.
She yanked her wrist from him and smiled as she backed off. "My name is Jezabelle, i am a pureblood vampire. We shall meet again i am sure... but don't think i shall be so kind on either one of you. Good night."
As she walked off I couldn't help but Hiss at her. Acting all 'high-and-mighty'. As though she could possibly take on MY Shori...I turned to look up at him fondly. He was....my ONLY treasure...in this world....
"Thank you Shori." I smiled. "Can you believe the arrogance of that pureblood? Having to state she was such...as though we couldn't tell."
"Well, you know how the Purebloods are...they always have to point out just how BETTER they are than you." He smiled back laughing. "It took Clovis forever to get out of that phase too...which reminds me...he should be making his grand entrance anytime now. After all, he's pretty much in the same boat as us."
"Really?! Clovis is coming as well?!" I smiled with realization. "Maybe this place won't be so bad then..."
"Everything ok?" A voice spoke from a nearby doorway. We both turned to meet the gaze of a concerned young man with sparkling indigo eyes. I couldn't tell exactly what race he was just by looking at him. He looked like a simple human...and yet a power seemed to exude from deep within him. Yet still...it was too odd to place. As though it were being suppressed...and that glow in his eyes...I knew he wasn't human...I just knew it!
Before my curiosity could get the best of me, I turned and prepared to walk off without a single word...but I felt Shori's gaze on me. Sighing, I turned back to the mysterious man. "It's nothing to be concerned about...I don't know what you heard but to simplify, it was a Pureblood trying to claim their dominance. That's all."
"Thanks for the concern, but we're capable of taking care of ourselves." Shori smiled kindly. "You must be a student here too. My name is Shori Benitsuki. My companion here is Shimei Aoitsuki...you'll have to forgive her, she's not...very sociable." He seemed to giggle at the end of his comment.
"I don't see the point Shori!' I corrected. "Anyway...just what ARE you? You don't seem so easily read, and it's bugging me." I blurted out without hesitation. My curiosity won...perhaps this came from my love of cats. It would surely kill me one day...
Shimei-
