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-
