"Mmmph....."
A stout young man fitted himself through the narrow opening of the entrance. The glass doors were too heavy for the youngster to push open himself at the moment. Mind you, it wasn't that he was feeble. This spry kid was in Tansai after all, and he had the figure to prove it. However, this was one of those days where his luck tended to frown upon him between getting up and the moment he crossed through those doors.
~//~
"Hey, it's Shiki!"
A voice had called out from the trees surrounding the walkway in the park. Shiki froze, his slicked-up spikey hair fluttering slightly in the passing breeze. His book bag was hung over his shoulder, and his sleeves rolled up beneath his elbows. His school shirt was also unbuttoned, with a form-fitting white tank underneath. Indeed, several guys around Shiki's age began to appear from the surrounding foliage. The reed that rested between Shiki's teeth lilted slightly, as if to also leer at them along with the boy's impassive blue eyes.
"Well look who stumbled on the Rawker's territory! You better have at least ten thousand yen, or the only way you're getting out is being carried out!" said the boastful and supposed leader of the group, a sickly looking tall guy with an afro and shades.
"Tch." was the only utterance the young man made in reply. With a light, almost unnoticed shuffling of his feet, his body poised itself for a kick that spanned several different movements, bringing his right heel across the tall afro's right cheek, then following up with his toe across the other side of the thug's face, all in one snapping motion. Shiki may not have paid much attention in his other classes in his last school, but he was at the top of his class in the martial arts club.
~//~
"Jeez, of all the days I chose not to bring any asprine." Shiki muttered as he squeezed through the door, a trickle of blood running out of his ear from the blow he took before running away. "Heh, I guess taking out the leader doesn't have the same affect on the lackies like in the movies." with a wry grin he took comfort in knowing that his school uniforms were mostly black. Yellow wasn't much his color, but Tansai was the only place he could really see himself fitting in. Yeah, as if that would happen.

Kei sighed and sat down on a bench, she was scared.
Her mother was coming, her cousin was angry, and on top of it all, she hadn't told that someone she liked him! She shyly looked at the guy that seemed...the opposite of her.
Kei smiled a little, trying to be friendly.
"...Uh, hello."
She blinked and mentally smacked herself. Why couldn't she be...
Kei shook her head as she remembered what her cousin said, she should never feel unwanted.
((Did you make a profile? I think you need to do that before you post....I think, maybe.))

It was a humid summer morning when a young girl with toffee colored hair and emerald eyes joyfully made her way to her new school for the first time. It wasn't everyday a foreign student was accepted to a prestigous school such as Tama, and Cicada was most excited. She clutched tighter to her messenger bag as she daydreamed about her first moments at Tama. Cicada was big on first impressions and planned on making hers as perfect as possible by rehearsing exactly how she was going to introduce herself to all the new students and teachers. Despite being some what of a lazy person at heart, when it came to school and work, Cicada was quite the perfectionist. She couldn't qwell the need to look, say, and do the best. Almost consumed by her mind's workings, she was suddenly brought to reality when she saw the hunched over figure of a boy limp up the steps that lead to a large door (obviously the school's main entrance) and creep insided. Silently, Cicada follow his lead, and found herself at Tama's entrance. Feeling a little hesitant after seeing such a sight her first moments before begining classes, she wondered if the boy was in need of help.
Forgetting her prior thoughts of proper introductions and attention, Cicada charged into the main foyer, and looked around the vast room for the boy who appeared to be injuried.

Yonutsune was looking for Kei once again, finding the girls' company very pleasing when she saw what looked like..two new students? Her brow furrowed as she contemplated on who she should greet first, the girl or the boy?
She stood, as if mesmerized, most likely making her appear a little dumbfounded until, finally, she made her decision.
Kei seemed to have all ready greeted the boy and Yonutsune could talk to her after the situation was taken care of, so she approached the girl and asked, "Hello, I'm Yonutsune. Are you new?" She held out her hand so the girl could shake as she kept a calm demeanor, as most times.

(Thanks, I kept forgetting to do that.)
A quiet and brief groan escaped escaped his throat as some girl spoke to him. Her hair was a creamy blonde and it was neatly parted to the side. It seemed that she was probably a bit afraid of a guy like him, and he couldn't say he blamed her.
"Yo." he uttered, trying to get his bearings and not collapse on the floor. His adrenaline was just starting to thin out from that morning's episode. There was no way that today was gonna be a good day. Walking past the first girl, Shiki traced his hand up to his chest beneath his other arm.
.....Ouch. Yup, that's definitely a cracked rib.
Wincing only slightly, he was glad that he had moved out of the girl's immediate vision when he checked it. He didn't like involving people with his problems, especially complete strangers. He then whirled smoothly around to face her once more, and tried to force the smallest of smiles upon his face while letting his hand return to his pocket.
"My name's Shiki. Its nice to meet you." Personally, this was not the kind of person Shiki was, to be so formal and polite. But his mom pulled a lot of stops to see that he attended a fine school like this. The very least he could do was try and glue the pieces of this day back together. In the middle of his sentence he caught sight of a couple of other students, but they seemed preoccupied with talking to each other. It was probably just as well, even though there was one particularly cute girl whom somehow seemed lost. Nonetheless, his mother had ribbed him on countless occasions that he shouldn't stare at other people while talking to a girl, so he returned his gaze to the blonde girl before him a moment later.

Suddenly a girl approached her and held out her hand as she offered a kind greeting. Cicada deducted that the young girl was obviously a student of the school, and a most helpful one at that. It was almost as if this miss Yonutsune knew that she was slightly disturbed about something.
"Oh, hello, Miss Yonutsune. It's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Cicada, and yes...I'm quite new. I haven't even begun classes yet."
Cicade blushed, embarassed that she was still unfamilar with the school. Glancing around the room, she suddenly spotted the boy she thought to be the one who seemed to be in a great deal of pain just a few moments ago. It was strange...the boy with spikey brown hair she was observing seemed in no distress at all. He was casually talking to a blonde girl and seemed to be enjoying her company.
Hrmm...too bad. I guess he got away.
Cicade sighed but quickly diverted her attention back to the polite miss Yonutsune.
"Umm...uh, I recently found out that I was placed in the kumi Guriin, but that's the only knowledge I have at the moment."

Kei frowned at the guy, he seemed very...forcing.
It was like he was only trying to pretend to be polite.
And the worst part was, it looked like he was hurt.
"...Shiki? Because you fought with bad gang, you're hurt; aren't you?", She asked softly.
Kei shook her head, "..I'm sorry, but I could take you to the nurse...If you wanted."

Yonutsune mentally slapped herself. No one but her family really knew her first name was 'Yonutsune' and she'd let it slip to Cicada. She shrugged it off, finding it not a big problem. After seeming to go too deeply into her thoughts she said,
"Oh, so you're in Guriin. I could show you the dorms if you want." She offered politely, enjoying Cicada's company. She seemed so nice after all.
Noticing the girl looking towards the beaten up looking boy, she looked at him before facing the girl again. "Do you want to talk to him?"

The look he got from the girl was.....disspiriting, to be light. Shiki's usual charm (or lack there of, I should say) served only to frighten, and in a couple of odd cases, attract, most members of the opposite sex. And to be honest, he didn't think it too odd that she would sense the awkwardness in his words, even though he thought they had come out convincing enough. The words the followed, however, caused him to flinch and step back a bit. His brows furrowed in slight aggrivation, but his frown was moreso formed from confusion. Did that girl see his toussle that morning? Shiki was sure there was no one in the quiet seclusion of the park. Why would there be, it was obvious those thugs would go after anyone who was either stupid or could at least hold his or her own.
"Um....What, makes you say....?" Shiki began as he tried to push the attention away, but a trickle of blood creased down from the top of his bangs, which were starting to glisten in the lights above anyway from his unattended injuries. Apparently there was no point in BS-ing now. What was he to do? Just walk away? He could tell they were drawing attention from other kids. He waited to see what that other girl was going to say or do.

Kei looked at him worriedly, she remembered the fight.
She was just walking, enjoying the park when it looked like a gang was going up against a guy. Then she quickly ran back to the school, just in case they might have spotted her.
"Um, you should go to the nurse..If you want to I mean. But I'm...uhh...", Kei stuttered.
She had run out of reasons he should go to the nurse.
