I walked into homeroom completely stressing over what Rakuto was going to do to me when I got home - and how the hell he keeps getting in my apartment! Rakuto had almost made me late, there was only two minutes till homeroom when I got in! Everyone else was already there, and I couldn't help but stare at my tenshi as I took my seat - I would really have to ask him his name, of course that would require the ability to speak around him. He glanced over as I neared my seat and I averted my eyes sharply towards the fangirl section of the room. You see, our homeroom is divided vertically - girls on one side and boys on the other. Why, you might ask...God only knows, it's like the teacher thinks that if he separates us we won't be interested in each other - of course, I'm not, but other people are.

At break~

                  Okay, now. Now I'm going to do it, I'm going to talk to him...I started walking towards his table...Okay, breathe. It's all going to be okay, you can do this, just go up and- ! I can't do this! I walked right past his table and kept on going, towards the cafeteria.

"Hey! Jin, right?"

" Yeah..." I turned to my left where a tall boy with styled short brown hair stood casually, seeming to asses me.

"I'm Naoki, do you want to sit with us?"

"Us?"

"Yeah, me and my friends...come on, I'll introduce you!" He didn't even wait for me to reply, he just grabbed my hand and started dragging me towards a table - pushy brat.

"Hey, guys, this is the new student, Jin, I said he could come sit with us!" Everyone just looked around like, erm...okay, what do we do now? I, however, purposely kept my eyes from meeting any of theirs, until..."Hey, Jin. I'm Kazuya." I knew I had to look up when he spoke to me because it would be bad if people thought that I was rude. I looked up and had to control my facial expressions carefully. It was my てんし! My beautiful てんし’s name was Kazuya! He did look peaceful - the name suited him, I decided. Yes, definitely, my 和也
　てんし...あ！Crap! I still hadn't said anything, they were all staring at me.

"S'up...?" Kazuya smiled and said, " And this is Umi, Ishi and Yukiko. We have another friend, Jun but he's off today with a stomach bug." They each gave me a small smile as Kazuya pointed towards them and said their name.

"Hajimemae!" They said at slightly different times but mostly together, with a small nod, to be polite.

"Hai, hajimemae. Yoroshiku onegaishimasu!" I spoke formally to them.

"Yoroshiku onegaishimasu!" They said, but this time in unison.

Now that the formalities were over, almost all of the tension quickly dissipated and everyone seemed to relax a little. We sat down at the bench and Kazuya and Yukiko resumed a previous conversation while the rest of us sat in silence - not quite entirely comfortable with each other yet - until, "Itadakimasu!" A very happy Umi cheered and took out his snack. Umi, like most of his features, was small. He had almost-black brown hair that sat on his head with curling flicks in various directions and large, bright green eyes the colour of springtime leaves that made him look adorable.

"Shouldn't you wait till lunch to say that Umi? If you always say it, even if you aren't having a meal, then people will start to get annoyed." Naoki teased, a now pouting, Umi.

"What, like you?! You shouldn't be so mean Naoki-chan." Ishi said with a grin as he waited for Naoki's reaction. He didn't have to wait long.

"Hey!" Naoki exclaimed, frowning, then narrowed his steely grey eyes at Ishi. I couldn't help but smile a little and snigger at that, but Ishi seemed to take it all in his stride and continued jibbing Naoki, while Umi giggled. Ishi was quite a pretty boy. He was only a few inches shorter than Naoki, he his muscles were well hidden but strongly corded, he had long fingers like a pianist and an aristocratic look about his lanky body and face. His blonde hair was mussed and his electric-blue eyes seemed to spark with a mischief that his face would deny.

The bell rang and we all got up to leave, I would have to get a better look at Yukiko at lunch, and, of course, Kazuya- which is one person I definitely won't mind studying, for my mission or...heh, otherwise.

4th period was Russian, which I already knew and I'm willing to bet that is why I'm taking it, so I can focus on other things, in fact that's why all of my classes were picked, so that I could plan my next move, further worm my way into this group or watch over my charge - even to make sure that if Inran suddenly needs me I will be able to leave without it affecting my test score and getting me moved down a class. Ten minutes into the period and the teacher still hadn't shown, also their were no signs that a substitute was coming. Perfect. That gave me some time to get to know Umi and Ishi who were the only group members in my class -the advanced higher class, which could explain why a sub hadn't come, they probably trusted us to get on with pre-set work. But being as it was only my third day here, and I have Russian on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday...I didn't know what we were supposed to be doing and the rest of the class didn't seem to care what we were supposed to be doing, which was fine by me.

"So, Jin-kun, where do you come from?"Umi asked, inclining his head to the left and backwards slightly, giving me an excellent view of his neck. I felt my hunger for human blood surge and had to swallow sharply before speaking, "Umi, you can call me Jin."Umi's face lit up," I'm from Ryuushinki. What about about you two, you don't sound like you're from around here."

"We're not. I'm from Saraanjukuu and Umi's from-"

"Ryuushinki too!" Umi piped up....bugger. For Misuzu's sake, Ryuushinki better be a big place.

"Really, that's great! How come we've never met before?" Haha! This way I can trick him into giving me any information I might need about this stupid place and give me a possible excuse as to why we haven't met thus far.

"Oh, I moved around a lot after my parents died."

"Oh." Umi gave me a small smile and after that Ishi made sure to steer the subject to much cheerier subjects. For the rest of the period we chatted away happily to each other, they seemed to take a liking to me so I was pleased besides, it was nice to be able to actually talk to people again -like a human.

5th period was Home Economics with Kazuya, Umi and Naoki and it passed pretty much uneventfully. Except for Naoki accidently burning Umi's cookies which made Umi tear up, until I gave him mine.

At lunch I was going to eat alone but as I was walking out the door Umi grabbed my arm and started leading me towards a table in the outdoor eating area. He was about a head smaller than me but surprisingly stronger than he looked - despite being the smallest in the group, Umi was actually a bit taller than most humans at this school at 5'6" but compared to my 6'4" he was small though I'm sure that he will grow tall enough in the next few years.

We all sat down, Kazuya opposite me with Yukiko and Naoki next to him, and next to me was Umi and Ishi. Umi plowed straight into a conversation with me as soon as we had sat down, unfortunately it was one of those bothersome ones that requires my unconditional attention. The only time I got to think was in the last five minutes when Umi munched through his lunch in record timing. But by then Kazuya and Yukiko had slopped off somewhere, and Ishi and Naoki were huddled together talking privately and I was too mentally exhausted from Umi to listen into their conversation.

By the end of the day, I had learnt that Umi was very excitable, among other things -but I didn't mind so much because of his cuteness, that, and his happiness was rather infectious. I was mentally drained by the time I got in my car -and I had managed to completely forget about Rakuto. For now.
