Chapter 5 ~|New_Faces|~

Somewhere in a dorm at Nekozawa Academy, a portal opened.

Alfie stepped out of his portal and was hit with an icy blast of cold air. He frowned, that wasn't right. The whole room was frozen solid.

"Welcome back Alfie!" Greeted a voice. A boy with vibrant yellow short hair with streaks of red and orange and equally yellowy-orangey-redy eyes sat on a nearby bed. He was wearing a dark blue body-gripping suit and was wearing soft looking boots, which were laced up at the sides. He jumped of the bed and ran over to hug Alfie. Well, tried to anyway. He took one step on the cold ice, slipped, landing on his butt. Sighing, Alfie placed Renee on his bed and put Derrick down on the floor.

"Hello, Yuki." Replied Alfie. My gay little friend. He thought laughing. "What's with the ice?"

"Osami. Ice spell gone bad. He scampered as soon as he heard the portal coming. Now you gonna help me up or not?" Said Yuki crossly rolling his eyes, as his butt was beginning to freeze to the floor.

"Don't i get a greeting, Yuki?" Derrick indignantly asked, cautiously rising to his feet. The cut on his head had already healed.

"Oh, sorry! Hello Derrick!" Yuki said looking miffed. "Now can you help me up? I'm getting frostbite here!"

"One second." Alfie carefully picked his way over to Yuki.

"You gonna drop the illusion yet, Alfie? Seeing you in those clothes makes me shiver." Questioned Yuki as Alfie tried to ease him of the ice-covered floor. Derrick watched in interest. Having heard Yuki, Alfie stopped pulling him for a few seconds, pulling a stone out of his pocket. Derrick did the same, tossing them on Yuki's bed. As soon as they left his hands, he immediately resumed his normal form.

"W-where am I?"

Stuttered a bleary female voice. Everyone stopped what they were doing, their eyes searching for the source of the voice. Renee was sitting up on the bed and rubbing her eyes. When her eyes had finally swam into focus, the first thing she noticed was Osami's 'in-your-face' hair. Then she saw some familiar faces. Alfie and Derrick. They were exactly as they were before she had fainted, not including their sudden clothes change.

Alfie wore a sleeveless dark blue top, which was open at the front, showing his low hanging round pendant, with his name etched carefully into. On his bottom half, he wore black trousers open at the sides, which were kept together with dark blue straps, to prevent it flapping all over the place. The trousers were kept up with a black belt, an assortment of pouches attached to it, along with his razor sharp sword. His arms were wrapped tight with white satin ribbons, which were part of his light blue and black fingerless gloves. Derrick was bare-chested his firm muscles on show. He wore lose dark blue denim shorts kept up with a lose red belt. Around his neck he wore a loosely wrapped red scarf and a intricately sculpted gold medallion of two dragons locked in an eternal battle. Lastly, he wore a long flowing black jacket

Renee opened her mouth a few times in an attempt to speak. "Good morning," Smiled Yuki, "The name's Yuki Arai. What's yours?"

"Renee Yamashina" Replied Renee evidently regaining her voice. She looked at Yuki, opened her mouth to say something else, but decided not to.

"I guess I’ll go tell the head's Renee's up then. You stay here, Derrick." Said Alfie briskly, dropping Yuki's arms.

"WHAT!!?? YOU CAN'T JUST LEAVE ME STUCK TO THE FLOOR LIKE THIS!" Shouted Yuki, instantly changing from friendly to mad.

"Renee'll sort it out. You can't always rely on me, Yuki."

"Yeah, I'll get Renee started then, should I?" Chipped in Derrick.

"Sure." Alfie turned and left the room.
