Blah [open]

[Taichi]

Arrival...

"I'm here...?" A brown-haired lad wearing a black shirt and cargo pants whispered and followed it with a deep sigh. Expecting that sexy girls would escort him throughout the academy but it turned out that he was hoping for nothing. Disappointment... that was what he felt.

Ichinimyou, Taichi... the so-called "Kissing-monster Prince" was now deserted in front of the Academy's huge gateway with nothing else but his shadow.

With a few more complaints, he finally decided to step unto the academy's ground.

Water...?

Droplets of water started to fall...

"Gawd! What now?!" Taichi said and looked up the dark sky. There were no stars to be found. The moon that was at its full phase was covered by the darkness.

As soon as he felt a cold drop of water on his forehead, he looked forward and sought for shelter. He was shivering in coldness.

Minutes had passed before he could finally get himself to a dry place. He found a little hut to protect him from the racing water droplets.

He was looking down that he didn't noticed something or someone he bumped into. He lost his grip from his luggage and lost his balance that he almost fell.

"What the-?"

[Sabrina]

It was her first day and yet, this place is still unfamiliar to her and she was lost. She didn't even know that droplets of water started to fall down. It was raining, she should have brought an umbrella with her. She was wearing an orange T - shirt with denim jeans and she is also wearing her sneakers and was carrying her own luggage which was color black. She is all soaking wet and she needed to find shelter and it is getting colder after each passing second. She then, wrapped her arms around herself, "Brr, it is getting cold in here.", she muttered in a sing - song tone. There were a lot of large trees in sight.

Shivering, she went towards a tree and for her, she is getting blind, it is just that she bumped someone or something. No, it was a someone and that someone was a boy. In fact, she needs to apologize and her luggage was lying there on the solid ground. "I am terribly sorry. This is all my fault. Let me help you.", she picked up her own luggage and extended her own right hand to the boy. Good, now she is totally soaking wet. 'I just hope that I won't get a cough or a cold after I am being washed by a heavy rain.', she thought.

She remembered something back when she was still a child, she regretted that time since, she had killed her own mother but, she didn't do it on purpose, anyway. In this Academy, she wouldn't do anything that will let her feel sorry afterwards.

[Taichi]

Lucky... Taichi felt good as he found out that the person he bumped into was actually a girl. It wasn't such a bad day after all.

"I am terribly sorry. This is all my fault. Let me help you."

When Taichi was about to grab the girl's hand, he suddenly slipped and pulled the girl close to him only to fall down to the wet ground.

He saw something within the girl's eyes. The wet look on her face made her seemed to be more cute. This affection made his body react. It was a good thing he still had a little control or he might be kicked out of the school on his first day. His lips were just an inch away from hers when he realized what he was doing. He hurriedly stood on his feet and pulled the girl up.

"Sorry about that... Please don't make such impression" He told her with an evil smile. "I can't control my reactions."

He grabbed his luggage and got his jacket. He wrapped it around the girl and guided her to the hut.

"We should rest here to dry ourselves up"

[Sabrina]

She gulped all of a sudden as she felt that the boy was holding her hand. It was her first time to hold a boy's hand and it made her blush like a red tomato. She saw him slipping and he felt that she was being pulled back to the wet ground. She just realized that their lips were only an inch away and it made her force a gulp right at this moment. After a few moments, she felt that she was pulled back up again. 'Sorry about that... Please don't make such impression', she stayed silent for a while and her face finally changed back to its normal color. 'I can't control my reactions.'. Without another word, she just nodded as she bit her lower lip. "No, please don't apologize, it is ok. I know you didn't do that intentionally.", she finally replied to the boy with nervousness in her voice.

As she saw that the boy was wrapping his jacket around her, she felt warm. She just followed the boy all the way to a hut and heard him saying, 'We should rest here to dry ourselves up.', she couldn't help but flash a smile to the boy. "Thank You.", she told him gratefully and finally asked, "May I know your name, Mister?", this is even her first time to ask for a boy's name. Maybe, this boy will be her first friend in the Academy and she was hoping that she will have more friends someday. The black - haired girl was not dry yet and small droplets of water fell from the ends of her hair, she was unfortunate that she didn't bring a towel with her so, she could wipe her hair.

[Taichi]

When Taichi saw the girl's innocent face, nodding, he regretted that he didn't kissed her. He wasn't really contented but he decided not to push girls into that.

'She's so naive... I'll have my chance' He thought to himself with a smile displayed on his face.

"No, please don't apologize, it is ok. I know you didn't do that intentionally."

His smile turned to a smirk upon hearing the girl's statement. It appeared to be a good start at the academy, a lucky day.

"May I know your name, Mister?"

"Taichi... Ichinimyou Taichi... and what shall I call you 'Miss Beautiful?'?" The brown-haired boy said as he bowed down prince-like.

When he was "in the normal world", saying that kind of stuff, most girls blushed with a smile. He wondered if this girl would do the same thing, too. He remained in a bowing position as he waited for the answer.

[Ayako/Hikaru]

OOC: If your wondering, Hikaru (male version of Ayako) IS a girl, but one of her alices allows her to change genders.

A growling voice erupted from the sounds of the rain drops, a raven haired male was rushing to the academy grounds with both of his hands covering his head. In the end however, it was a futile attempt to stop getting wet, and he himself was already quite soaked. Strong legs allowed the boy to sprint across the slick surface of the cement, and was able to take shelter over a small canopy with a bench. Sighing with relief, the boy quickly looked for anyone that was watching him, and deemed it safe to use his alice. Nodding, the crimson eyes closed, and he quickly pressed the palm of his hands together. The white aura surrounded him, and soon covered his whole body until a small flash exploded. His body grew more slender, lips more feminine, and his eye color changed into a baby blue. In his place stood a pink haired girl by the name of Ayako.

Nodding, Ayako chuckled lightly before opening her white umbrella, and trekked through the rain towards the main grounds of the academy. The voice of two people speaking made her creamy colored ears twitch in realization, and a small grin enlightened her facial features. Running to the side of a tree, she watched the duo converse, but noticed how bold the male stranger was to the girl. Giggling very softly, a small hint of very rare mischief hit her mind, and she quickly activated her alice, and thus transformed back into her male form. Smirking, he walked quickly towards the duo, the sound of footsteps apparent by his obviously loud steps.

"...Heh heh, was I interrupting thing?"[/center]

[Sabrina]

'Taichi... Ichinimyou Taichi... and what shall I call you 'Miss Beautiful?'?', her eyes widened in surprise. Only this person in the world had ever called her "Miss Beautiful" and the only person that bowed down to her. "Nice to meet you, my name is Sabrina.", she told the boy as her cheeks were getting hot and red. "Nice name.", she finally admitted as she forced her eyes to look somewhere else. Her face finally returned back to its normal color as she finally heard footsteps nearby.

In an active - mode, she looked around, '...Heh heh, was I interrupting thing?', a male voice came by. She looked around once again to find the owner of the voice but, she could only see rain pouring down from the dark, gray sky. Finally, she found the owner of the male voice and apparently, she couldn't see him clearly yet. It would mean that it is dark or it would mean that she became blind.

"No, you didn't interrupt a thing.", she assured the boy as she was already facing the ground and was already sneezing. "Did I catch a cold?", she wondered and realized that she said it out loud. She then, asked, "Oh, do either of you know which way is the dormitory halls?", this is her first day so, she is completely clueless and gets lost easily in this particular place called Alice Academy. 'Nice name for an Academy.', she thought.

[Taichi]

"Nice to meet you, my name is Sabrina."

Taichi stood straight with a smile to face the girl that was looking away. He wanted to have a 'contact' with her 'inner-self' so he attempted to change the girl's view. When he was about to touch her face to look into her eyes, a voice broke in.

"...Heh heh, was I interrupting thing?"

Ichinimyou searched for the voice's direction only to find a guy walking towards them. He clenched his fist and slowly placed it down. With a deep sigh, he looked away.

'Baka! you made me missed my chance' he thought and almost said it out loud.

"No, you didn't interrupt a thing."

"Yeah, right..." He said softly with a sarcastic tune and smile. After his statement, he heard a sneezing sound. He looked back at Sabrina and asked if she was okay.

"Did I catch a cold?"

"Maybe you should rest." Taichi told her, fixing the jacket and placed his arms over her shoulders to give more warmth. He looked at the new guy and stuck his tongue out.

"Oh, do either of you know which way is the dormitory halls?"

The brown haired guy stopped his childishness and faced the new guy seriously.

"I just arrived... what about you? Do you know the way?"

[Ayako/Hikaru]

A cold stoic smirk was all Hikaru had on the outside. However, he seemed to be in a laughing fit since he had 'ruined' the other boy's chance of getting to the girl. Seeing that his little mission was fulfilled, both of hands withdrew from his pockets and slapped together. "Cancel..". As soon as she said that, the same effect as before manifested, replacing the raven haired boy with a long cherry blossom pink haired girl within a matter of seconds. Sporting her usual clothes, Ayako had literally looked at the duo and gave a serene smile that was completely different from Hikaru's smirk. During the transformation, her eyes were closed, but opened to reveal a set of light baby blue eyes that had replaced crimson ones.

Based on the boy's reactions to Sabrina, Ayako passively accepted that he was a bit mad at her. Of course, she did managed to retain a small giggle that could be heard from her lips. Walking past the two in a slow manner, she stopped half way and turned around to look at both of them. With a motherly nature, Ayako was getting worried that Sabrina would get sick, and she supposed that the male had cared about her health truly. Both of arms reached behind her back, and her hands clasped together gently before a sing-song voice was heard as Ayako spoke.

"Ara ara, are you alright Miss? And... I don't really know the way around the campus, since I've only arrived recently. I can assume that it shouldn't be too tedious."

Her manner of speech was completely different from Hikaru, not a single hint of a sarcastic, nor a rude tone could be inferred when she spoke. Like Sabrina, Ayako was already soaked to the bone, but a high constitution seemed to prevail against any chance of being 'cold'. Reaching into a small bag by her left side, she pulled out a velvet and silky violet shaw with a hood, and wrapped it around her soaked clothes. "Well, with the three of us here, lets go on an adventure"[/center]

[Sabrina]

'Maybe you should rest.', with a nod, she was letting Taichi place his arms over her shoulders, she feels warm. "Thank You.", she said, flashing a warm smile to him. She could see him sticking out his tongue to the other boy and she was already wondering if they knew each other, but she decided not to ask, anyway. 'I just arrived... what about you? Do you know the way?', she just shrugged and didn't bother to look at the other boy's way. Finally, she wanted to look at the other boy now but instead, a pink-haired girl replaced him. Wow, that girl is pretty good in surprising Sabrina. 'Where is the other guy?', she wondered but, didn't even bother to ask that question. She could already feel the girl's arms reached behind her back, and she could feel the girl's hands clasped together.

'Ara ara, are you alright Miss? And... I don't really know the way around the campus, since I've only arrived recently. I can assume that it shouldn't be too tedious.', she just nodded and replied in a gentle tone, "It's ok, I understand." then, she could feel a velvet and silky violet shaw with a hood, was wrapped around her soaked clothes. "No, it is fine, I feel warm already.", she told the girl. 'Well, with the three of us here, lets go on an adventure', Sabrina then, blurted out, "Ok, then.", but, hasn't stood up yet. "You want to explore around here?", she asked and was waiting patiently for the reply.

She wanted to rest so badly but, maybe these people wanted to explore around with her in the Academy or maybe not? She then, flashed a weak smile to the girl. Weak? Could it be that she is beginning to have a fever? It's been a long time since she has a fever. No, it is maybe because of the weather that is letting her feel sick.

[Taichi]

Taichi was looking at the new guy when he heard him clap... Then, poof...! A pink-haired girl appeared in place of the new lad. His mouth hanged-open as the girl passed by them. He kept wondering if he or she really was a girl or not until got distracted by a feminine voice.

'Ara ara, are you alright Miss? And... I don't really know the way around the campus, since I've only arrived recently. I can assume that it shouldn't be too tedious.',

"Aaww... It's okay." Taichi said with a gentle smile curved on his face. Though he was being nice, he never let the thought of her being a gay go. Thus, he was respecting her feminine heart.

'Well, with the three of us here, lets go on an adventure',

"Ok, then."

"Sure! Let's go... but what about the luggage?"

An adventure would be great but Taichi was worried about having nothing to wear but wet clothes. He considered Sabrina, too. Girls can't go lurking around, topless, can they? He then shook off that thought and looked at Sabrina with worried eyes.

He truly was good at acting. Trying his best to get into a girl with no reasons. Making people believe that he was full of love. Well, he once had a lot but things changed. Now, he's living in the world of lies.

"Can you bear with more coldness, Sabrina? I could give more warmth" He whispered to her ears with more care in his voice and a seductive look on his face.
