The pink hair girl stopped in stared for a brief moment, Aya braced for the worst....

"Haaaaa soo cuuu-" said the pink hair girl, cutting herself off as if she realized her awkward reaction "Aaahhh I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. Please forgive me, please forgive me. It's a habit of mine when I see cute ears like yours. Please don't be mad," Mina said in an embarrassed panic.Before Aya could respond the girl ran off to get the others, as if trying to avoid the awkward confrontation.

"Cu....Cute?" Aya said aloud, standing like a statue, still proccessing what happened. "Cute..... Oh hey wa-! Aaaand she's gone..." mumbled Aya. After a quick glance around she huffed and decided to do a little exploration on her own, hopeful to find someone else to explain what's going on.

The school as a big one, much bigger than the public school Aya had been originally attending in the first place. The multiple floors, separate buildings, different dorms, all began to confuse the poor girl. After a little while of wandering, she finally found the front entrance where normal students were entering. Some starred at her, but she got the vibe that it was because of being a new student as opposed to her... new features. Summoning up the courage, Aya decided to ask one of the arriving students about the place, so with a quick adjustment to her scarf and military uniform, she approached a female student dressed in the school's uniform.

"Excuse me! Hello, I uhh, am an exchange student from... uhh.. Canada, so I'm a bit new to the school, can you help me out?" she asked politely, hoping that this time she wouldn't just get a pet on the... "ears" The new features was definitly a hard thing for Aya to get used too, especially with everything being so loud now.

Kimiko had made it to school, with time to spare, even! Every day was like this. She vowed to get up earlier tomorrow, though she already knew a repeat of this morning was going to happen. Kimiko rushed up to the stairs and took a moment to catch her breath before she entered the building. Maybe she could catch a moment to talk to her senpai before class started.

"Excuse me!" Kimiko spun around towards the blonde haired girl in a uniform she was unfamiliar with. That definitely wasn't the school uniform. Then she saw them.

"Whoa! Your ears! Are they real?" Kimiko couldn't help herself, she just had to touch them. Before she knew it, she was reaching out and petting the girl's head with a huge euphoric smile across her face. She then noticed the white fluff of fur twitching behind. "Oh! And a tail! Do all Canadians look like this?" She wondered allowed before she realized what she was doing and stepped back. "I'm sorry, I'm getting ahead of myself. I'm Kimiko Mori. Welcome to the school! They said there would be some transfer students today... Oh! Do you know what class your in?" she asked excitedly.

sebastian looked up from the paper, this was the school alright. He wasn't sure why the paper said to go here and so he would. Expecting it to also be abandoned he tried to open the door, only to see it as locked and a voice over the monotor.

"Hello?" said the girl over the speaker. She sounded fairly old but sebastian wasn't one to judge, someway or another he was getting.

"hello ma'am may I come in" He said trying his best to sound as innocent as possible, thought he looked like a hoodlum.

"are you here for a child?" she said

"Actually I'm here for a job, I heard you needed a janitor?" he said making a random reason to let him in, it dawned upon him that not only was this extremely sketchy not to mention stupid that he was trying to get into a school for the chance that something might be there, they probably wouldn't let him in. It dawned upon him that he may not have been the only one to accept the calling. To his surprise the speaker lady unlocked the door and told him about an opening as a launch server, which he gratefully accepted and insisted on starting immediately, if he was going to meet anyone who this happened to, they would be eating sooner or later. As sebastian stepped into the cafeteria he was gawked at by the other lunch servers, his strange multi-colored eyes must have been a shocker to them.

The student spun around in response and faced Aya.

"Whoa! Your ears! Are they real?" The student said as she reached toward them. Before Aya could stop her, the girl was already petting her head, sending shivers down Aya's spine. It seemed they they were particularly.... sensitive. She stopped quickly when she noticed Aya's tail as well. "Oh! And a tail! Do all Canadians look like this?" the girl wondered allowed before she realized what she was doing and stepped back. "I'm sorry, I'm getting ahead of myself. I'm Kimiko Mori. Welcome to the school! They said there would be some transfer students today... Oh! Do you know what class your in?" Kimiko asked excitedly.

"Yes they are real and no you may not touch them! They are very sensitive!" Aya said, pausing for moment to sigh. "And no.... I don't think Canadians are all like me... Anyway! Nice to meet you Kmiko, I'm Aya Har-" she stopped herself mid sentence, remembering her new last name. "Aya Levere... sorry just a little nervous, first day and all... Uhhh, yeah, so I'm not sure what class I'm in, do you know where this class is?" Aya asked. She produced her class schedule and pointed at the home room. "Kimiko seems nice.... a bit annoying.... but nice. But transfer students? Maybe there are more students here like me..... hmm..." Aya thought to herself while she waited for a response.

Kito stumbled out of the bathroom, now properly clothed in some long shorts and a light purple T-shirt covered by a blue hoodie and properly prepared for the day. He winced briefly as he pulled on a pair of socks. "Darn it! Stubbing my toe really hurts! I've got to remember to get a good pair of house slippers..." He straightened up and checked himself in the bedroom mirror to make sure he was presentable. "All that aside, these are pretty cool." He turned around, looking over his shoulder in the mirror as he he did so to get a good look at the white tail and ears he now sported along with long-ish (almost shoulder length) pale blonde hair and deep blue eyes. He was a bit taller now, too, and his skin was definitely paler. "Darn. I'm totally going to catch a sunburn later looking like this..." His wonder-filled discovery of his new appearance was cut short by a knock at the door just down a small hallway. He turned toward the sound and walked toward it, opening it to see who could possibly be there.
"Hello?"

Kimiko seemed slightly perplexed as to why Aya would hesitate to say her name. Who forgets their last name? Maybe it was a Canadian thing, like dressing up in ears and a tail. Although they did look and feel rather real.. She brushed it off and took a look at the paper she was presented. Class 3-A... "Hey cool! You're in my class! .. Oh class! We better hurry to home room!"

Kimiko led Aya up the crowded stairs and down a hallway, to a classroom. The other students were still in their small groups, waiting for class to start. "Oh, they haven't started yet.. They must be waiting for the other transfer students to show up." She led Aya towards the back of the room, by the window. Here's my seat, it just so happens that this one beside it is free." she offered.

Aya was lead through the now crowding school to her classroom by Kimiko. The whole way, Aya made sure to remember various landmarks so she can find her way again as they went up stairs and walked through hallways. Soon they reached their classroom.

"Oh, they haven't started yet.. They must be waiting for the other transfer students to show up." Kimiko led Aya towards the back of the room, by the window. Here's my seat, it just so happens that this one beside it is free." she offered. Aya gladly accepted the offer and sat down at the desk next to her. Glancing around the classroom, it was now painfully obvious that she was stuck in some sort of Anime school drama, as all the cliche elements. Girls with ridiculous proportions and hair colors, the overexagerrated expressions and emotions, and the typical set of male characters all confirmed Aya's suspicion. Once again, she got a few stares and whispers, but nobody was sigifigant;y reacting to her, so Aya was a bit relieved by that. She decided to get some more information about the world around her by talking to her new found friend.

"So, what's the teacher like? I haven't heard much about him so I'm a bit in the dark. " Aya asked Kimiko

"Hmm, I guess I will have to do a little exploring..." Akira says, as he left his room and looked down the hallway.

"Oh, the teacher..." Kimiko leaned against her desk and stumbled a bit as it moved backwards on her. Her arms flailed backwards but she caught herself before she fell. "Oops! Uh.. he's awful. He just left the military last year to become a teacher, and he treats us like soldiers. Pay attention in his class. Our other teachers aren't so bad. One doesn't even mind if you doodle while she teaches."

Kimiko herself was surprised that no one seemed to had taken interest in the dog eared Canadian. Perhaps there was already another transfer student who wasn't late? Kimiko couldn't see one in the classroom. "Why did you come to Japan to study?" she asked.

"Oh, the teacher..." Kimiko leaned against her desk and stumbled a bit as it moved backwards on her. Her arms flailed backwards but she caught herself before she fell. "Oops! Uh.. he's awful. He just left the military last year to become a teacher, and he treats us like soldiers. Pay attention in his class. Our other teachers aren't so bad. One doesn't even mind if you doodle while she teaches."

Aya giggled a bit at Kimkio's clumsy antics, but continued to listen. She nodded rested her head in her hand, thinking about how she could get more information as to what as going on. Though Kimiko sprung a question on her Aya hadn't been prepared for.

"Why did you come to Japan to study?" Kimiko asked. Aya's ears perked up as she quickly raced to come up a legitimate answer.

"Ohh uhh.... Hmmm, well I uhh, you see, this thing I do back at home, it uhh, offers this international studies opportunity for those who can meet the requirements and get it. I was lucky enough to be able to get in. I figured that being able to study abroad will really help me in the long run, and hey, can be a fun adventure too!" she said, sounding more confident in her answer by the end of it. It was odd for her, but Aya now finally recognized another feeling in her, something that had been overshadowed by all the confusion and fear. There was a bottom line sense of excitement in her, something she felt like this really was an adventure for her, and then it hit her. "My whole life, it's just been same thing day in and day out.... over and over again.... but this... this is something new, something that while I may not know what it may be, but I feel so much more... alive.... like when I fly in the air... this child like excitement...." This realization of herself suddenly made Aya feel a lot happier, as if she didn't have to put up a facade anymore to blend in. Remembering the situation at hand however, Aya decided to find out more about her new found friend.

"Anyway, so what's this about a strict teacher Kimiko? Is he like, strict but fair, or does go all crazy with being strict and percise?" Aya said with a grin.

Locke sauntered his way through the halls of the school, flipping through the pages of his "file" as he went, it didn't seem to contain anything beyond what he'd read before, and a class schedule...well at least he wouldn't have to worry about making up work with a broken wrist. Sighing a bit as he walked, he thought of how to get home, sure this all seemed kinda colorful and surreal, but that didn't change the fact that he had responsibilities. Tommy wasn't old enough to take care of himself, and both his parents worked, gramps had the antique shop, and he was suppressed to be in a hospital bed with a bum wrist and leg. He eventually found (after much pointless wandering and accidentally walking into the girl's bathroom twice) the first class written on the list; 3-A. Walking in, he took note that he must have been early, or drastically late as everybody was doing their own thing with no authority figure in sight.

"Alright, act natural, you're a half-vampire dude who's stuck in a japanese motion cartoon...HOW THE HELL DO YOU ACT NATURAL LIKE THAT? WHY DOES EVERYBODY HAVE RAINBOW HAIR?" he thought as he hesitantly stepped in, he didn't know where he would sit, so he figured asking would be the best way. He saw in the corner two girls who were chatting about something, they at least seemed a bit more normal than the rest, at first glance. Strolling over to them, he was about to ask them if they knew where he could sit until he noticed the sandy blonde one had...ears. Not just regular ears, but what kinda looked like white animal ears jutting out of her hair. "Maybe that's just how her hair is, I saw a guy with rhino hai-nopenopenopenopenope those are real, those ears. ARE. REAL." Cold sweat mode initiate. "Why the hell is everybody here so weird? Chicks with boobs bigger than their heads, guys with less muscle mass than a twinkie, and now people with animal ears. Then again, I'm a goddamn half vampire...the hell's normal about me?" Finally working up the courage instead of awkwardly standing there staring at the ears, he finally cleared his throat and said: "'Scuze me ladies, but uh, are there any free seats open? First day here." he hadn't noticed until now that his voice was now much more...not exactly feminine, but much less deep compared to his usual voice. Not like it mattered, he just really wanted his octaves back.

Kimiko nodded. "That's a good reason. But flying? You have ears and a tail, do you have wings too that I can't see?" She joked, but then looked out at the window onto the courtyard somewhat wistfully. "Sometimes I want to go on an adventure and get swept away somewhere interesting. Maybe that's why transfer students are so interesting. School is pretty boring." She looked back and smiled, "but life isn't an anime, I guess."

Despite the sad note, she was happy to change the topic back to the homeroom teacher. "Don't even sneeze in his class or you'll regret it! I once yawned and he made me do fifty push-ups! It was awful." She laughed.

"'Scuze me ladies.." Kimiko glanced to the newcomer and grinned. "You must be another transfer student! Yes, there's lots! No one but me really sits here. She pointed towards the seat in front of her, This one is free. My name is Kimiko- oh, and this is Aya, she is Canadian!"

Kito found nobody at the door, but there was a file left at the doorstep. He picked it up and brought it back inside and set it down on a table in the kitchen. He looked around for some food, very happy to find that there actually some here, although he would have to go shopping in the near future. After making some toast and brewing some tea - he was so happy to find that there was a tea kettle and some tea blends in one of the cabinets - he sat down and opened the file. While eating his breakfast, he read over the papers in the file, his eyes widening as he got further into what the documents were holding.

It was information about his identity. There were pictures, legal documents, even a birth certificate. He was apparently a transfer student now enrolled at a local school. School?! He looked over at his phone - which apparently came with him, though completely devoid of any phone numbers or information from his past life besides a couple of his songs - and saw that it was, indeed, a school day. And according to the school information on the papers, he was late. Nearly spitting out his tea, he shot up from the chair, the fur on his tail spiking as he started to freak out. After rushing around to get what he needed from his room, he ran out the door with the toast in his mouth.
First day in a cool anime world and I'm already going to be in trouble! No!

Axle leaves the dorm and passes the school, he then looks up at the school "pfft, fuck that!" He says while he whips off the jacket and the tie rests them on his arm and walks off, looking for a thrift store, his sliver hair swaying on his head, free from the bonds of his previous life, he is happy as a clam.

Kito rushed through the hallway to the office to pick up his schedule. Luckily for him, he was able to get it without much trouble, since the person there just assumed he had gotten lost on the way since he was new to the area. Walking through yet another hallway, he looked at the schedule for his new homeroom.
"Class 3-A? Is that around here?"
As he looked around at the other classrooms, it seemed that he was perhaps in the wrong hallway. He wandered around for a while looking for the room, but eventually just ended up pretty lost.
"Am I even in the right building anymore?"
