VALOR
Despair.

Valor felt nothing but despair as Azure turned him down, again, and the bright smile that he once had slipped right off his face. Hearing the one person he cherished the most decline his offer to spend time together hurt him, but he quickly recovered. There was no use in listening to a band that he didn't even like, right? They could just find some other activity to do together! He was eager to hear whatever Azure had to say next, but Mr.Madore came in and cut them off. " Okay!" He piped up, his smile coming back, " We'll talk after class!" Listening to Azure, Valor went to his seat, which was in the same row as Azure's horizontally, but two desks away, and slammed the two tickets down on the desk of Arik Mizuki, who had the misfortune of being seated between Valor and Azure. " Here, you can have these." Valor said. There was no use for him to have tickets to a band that Azure didn't like. Any band like that was not worth Valor's time, free tickets or not.

Mizuki brightened up and accepted the tickets, " Aw thanks man, my chick loves this band! This'll totally make up for the fight we had this morning!"

"Uh huh," Valor commented, only half listening to his basketball teammate as he went into detail about his fight with his girlfriend, already in his 'Azure-stalking-zone' and was staring at him intently from over Mizuki's shoulder.

RODRIGO
There was a tiny sliver of hope in his heart that it was only these few students that they had encountered that were crazy instead of the entire school, but as they walked into their math class, Rodrigo knew that he had been shooting his hopes too high. The whole classroom was in disarray, people were sitting on desks, singing showtunes, playing musical instruments, there was even a kid full on painting at his desk, easel and all. Rodrigo was violently reminded of the show that was on T.V back home, Jlee or something, where all the students went around singing and expressing themselves through the power of song. He had thought that that stuff only happened in television shows, and yet, here it was. Angel really wasn't lying when he said this place was...different.

" Ethan I want to leave." Rodrigo said, watching the two strange students from before take their seats. Suddenly they didn't seem so strange anymore, in comparison to their other classmates.

An older man approached them, a prettyboy with brown flawless hair, and he greeted them. " Hello! I'm your teacher, Protettore Rousseau! You two are the transfer students, correct? Your files say that you come from far away, you both speak English I hope?" Rodrigo nodded and Protettore clapped his hands, " Great! Ven texted me and said that he gave you guys the tour! This will be your math class, but I guarantee that it won't be like any that you've had before, ahaha. Please take your seats, any seats you want! Class will begin soon, so please get yourselves situated." He left them to return to the front of his class, only to pull out his phone and begin texting someone.

Rodrigo felt really confused. Were all highschools like this? This laid back? He looked back to the class to try to find an empty seat, and the only two available were one by a meek blonde kid with his nose in his notebook, drawing some kind of cartoons -- sudden flashbacks to his anime filled room, Rodrigo shook them off -- and one by the kid from earlier, with the horns. " Wow, we're spoiled for choice...." He said sarcastically.

VALOR
Valor tried not to run to class, having just ran laps in track practice, but he was so excited to get to second period that his feet couldn't help but carry him faster. He had been late to school that morning and had failed to see Azure before school started, so second period would be the first time seeing him that day. He sprinted towards the main building, accidentally pushing past two students. " Sorry!!" He called back, unwilling to stop and apologize properly. Bu het had been so busy apologizing to those two that he didn't see the other pair just infront of them and physically crashed into one of them. " Sorry! Sorry! I didn't see you!" He jumped to his feet, helping the other guy up, who turned out to be Cepheus from the group Glamour. Beside him was Lucifel and Valor felt a cold shiver run down his spine. " Like I said I'm sorry, really sorry! Please don't curse me!" He didn't know if Lucifel participated in dark magic or not, but it honestly wouldn't surprise him if he did. Once making sure Cephues was okay, he apologized again and set off to class, hoping to still have some free time to talk to Azure before Mr.Madore started his lesson.

His class was on the first floor so Valor didn't have to worry about running up stairs to reach his class quickly. He swiftly opened the door to Mr.Madore's class, almost tripping over himself as he ran towards Azure's desk where he was writing in his notebook. What a great student! " Go...Good morning! Azure..." He panted, rubbing his face with his hands to wipe of the sweat. He then reached into his bag and took out the tickets that Emily had given him, showing them to Azure. " Do you wanna go to a concert with me? It's this weekend! I mean, I don't know if you're busy or not, but if you are I can get us some new ones for another day. Maybe for a band you really like???" He asked hopefully.

RODRIGO
Rodrigo spotted the two strange guys infront of them around the same time Ethan did. And yep, yep, those were horns on his head. " I fucking hate this school already." Rodrigo said, looking at the cape. " I really hope not," he answered Ethan, sharing the same fears that they were going to share a class together. Just then, a blonde guy bumped into him, muttering a half assed apology before moving on. " Hey you fucking asshat, learn some fucking manners!" Rodrigo yelled at him, but was ignored when the same rude blonde guy ran into the "Hellhound Cepheus." They started to talk about curses and other shit and Rodrigo felt like turning back and returning to their own Earth. " I swear, everyone here is insane!"

RODRIGO
" Dunno," Rodrigo sighed, looking over his schedule as Ethan rested on his shoulder, " Probably because we don't remember our own highschool experience, so this is his fucked up way for making up for it?" He crumpled up the schedule and stuffed it in his pocket, nudging his shoulder to wake Ethan up, " C'mon, we might as well go back to our dorms and get ready...for class." He felt weird just saying it. He was a 24 year old man stuck in highschool, with nothing but teenagers, and Rodrigo could already tell that this was going to be exhausting.

VALOR
The sun was warm against his back and he could feel the sweat trickle down his face, but Valor continued running his laps, easily passing by a group of attractive girls. Since he had football practice after school, the track coach let him train in the mornings during the girl's track team practice. With such a busy schedule, he had to decide which club to attend on certain days, but ultimately basketball and swimming had most of his attention, since he was the captain of both and would most likely loose his position if he missed too many days. But track was fun too, and he enjoyed running and feeling the wind on his face. Plus, the girls were nice too.

He came to a stop after passing the finish line and jogged over to the water bench for a cold bottle of water. In the distance, he heard the bell ring, signaling the end of first period, and he wondered what his precious Azure was doing right then. Maybe collecting his books to go to the next class? Stopping at the water fountain for a quick drink? If so, Valor hurriedly opened the bottle and gulped it down, excited that he and his beloved where sharing in the same experiences even when they were apart.

" Valor! There you are!" He heard from behind him and he stopped chugging down the water, turning to give a warm smile to the girl, the girl's track team captain, approaching him. " It's good to see you at practice today! You've been missing out on the last few sessions." Her tone was light and friendly, and wasn't judgmental at all.

" Ah, yeah, my first period teacher kept getting mad at me for skipping all the time." He laughed lightly as he grabbed his towel off the bench to wipe off the sweat. " But my grades are back to normal now, so I can afford a few more absences."

" Oh! Well, that's good. I've missed seeing you around here..." Suddenly realizing what she said, her face turned pink, " U-um, not like that! I-I mean we've all missed you, the rest of the team...I mean." She stuttered, Valor's sunny smile not faltering once.

" Well I have to get to class now! Mr. Madore isn't so lenient on absences unfortunately." He started to gather his sports bag off the bench but the Captain stopped him, " Wait! I have something to ask you real quick!"

Valor continued to pack his things, but stayed in place, " What is it?"

" Uh, well, there is this concert happening this weekend, and I know you have a busy schedule and all, but if you have the time...would you like to go?" She produced two tickets and held them out to him. Valor's eyes lit up and he excitedly took them, " Oh wow! These are for me?! Are you sure?"

" Yeah! We can-"

" Oh wow, this is great! I was trying to find a reason to hang out with Azure this weekend, and this is perfect! There is no way he can turn down a free concert!" His cheeks turned pink at the thought of Seiryuu actually enjoying spending time with him. " This is amazing Emily, thank you so much! I owe you BIG time!" He hugged her tightly, but pulled away seconds later, still too excited over the tickets and he carefully tucked them away in his bag. " See you tomorrow! Thanks again!" He waved as he ran off towards the academic building, leaving the track captain stunned in silence, wondering what had just happened.

☆☆ Not This Again

Rodrigo was scared to touch anything on his roommate's side of the room, incase he broke an action figure, but he was curious. After unpacking all of his clothes--which weren't even his favorite outfits thank you very much Seraphim-- he couldn't help but he curious about his new roommate, so he decided to investigate. There were so many figurines that he didn't know where to start, but there was a certain group of characters that caught his attention. " Are those basketball players??" He questioned, observing a figurine of a blue haired boy wearing a jersey. It read "Kukoro no Basuke" and Rodrigo didn't know what that meant in English, but it probably had something to do with basketball. Next to him was a pink haired girl with a super puffy skirt and Rodrigo was reminded of Sailor Foon, one of the only anime shows he watched while growing up. The girl's name was Swagdoka, which was weird, but Rodrigo carried on down the line of figurines. There was one called Ravioli, who was taller than anyone else on the shelf; Tawaki Souh, a blonde haired prettyboy who had an obsession with roses; Haruca who was bundled up in so much clothing that the only piece of skin showing was his face; Inuwasha, who was a half dog/ half human dude and after that Rodrigo gave up, deciding that he no longer cared. The anime world was just too strange for him and he went back to his own side, just in time for there to be a knock at his door.

He expected to Ethan to be at the door but was surprised when there was an older guy there with him. " Who're you?" He questioned, looking over the guy's punk-rock attire and automatically dismissed him for being a teacher.

Not This Again!! {Midorimacchi & Azalea}

KOTETSU SHIRAHANE
36 years old

Kotetsu is a vocal coach for the juniors and the immature ex-husband of Mitsuru Madore. He attended AOA in his youth, where he was apart of the boyband WILDLUCK, and together with his team, they dominated the UwaPri contest all four years in a row. It was also because of WILDLUCK that he met his ex-husband Mitsuru, who was his bandmate. The popularity of WILDLUCK caused his already huge ego to expand and he and Mitsuru ruled AOA like kings. After graduation, he attended college as a music major and became a personal vocal coach to aspirating artists. In the 14 years after graduating college, he has been the personal coach to the famous artists Saylor Twift, Katti Berry, Bruno Mercury, and Trustin Beaver. But he soon grew tired of it and quit doing personal coaching. For a while he became househusband and stayed at home to do chores and clean while Mitsuru was at work. But sure enough, he grew tired of that too and went looking for a job. It was just by chance that he ran into Byakko at the supermarket and was told about the opening at AOA for a vocal coach. Coincidentally Mitsuru was already working at AOA at the time and Kotetsu jumped at the chance to work with his husband.

But as time passed, he came to regret this decision when their marriage came crumbling down a few years later. After a particularly explosive argument, Kotetsu left their home to stay at a friend's house to cool off and refused all contact with Mitsuru. He changed his phone number in the heat of the moment and never told his husband where he was. At first he was only planning to stay there for a week or two, but on top work and personal life, he lost track of time and didn't come home for a month. Not to mention that his ego wouldn't let him make first contact with Mitsuru and basically waited for him to come crawling back, which never happened. When he came back to their home, he found all of Mitsuru's personal items gone and his wedding ring sitting on top of a box. His friends told him that Mitsuru had gone on vacation and had given them his house key and put the home up for sale. Unaffected, Kotetsu took his stuff and bought a mansion with the money he earned from his personal lessons. He dumped all of their stuff in a spare room and bought all new furniture. The divorce papers came in the mail not long after and Kotetsu signed them without putting up a fight.

He continues to live alone in his large home with his dog Daisuke. He treats his dog like he would a child and spends thousands of dollars to care for him, most likely projecting all hurt he felt from the divorce onto his dog as a form of comfort. He still works at AOA which means that he sees Mitsuru on a daily basis, but was too stubborn to quit after the divorce. He is still very bitter from how their separation was handled ((because he did NOTHING wrong, of course)) and makes sure that EVERYONE on campus knows it, even going as far as complaining to his students about it. During the few times that he and his ex are in the same room, a confrontation happens and it's a rite of passage for the students at AOA to be present for atleast one of their fights.

RODRIGO
" I'm sorry that you two won't be getting a room together, but these were the only two rooms available." Byakko said solemnly, taking out his MASTER KEY and opening the door. " Rodrigo, you'll be staying with Bellerophon King. He's a grade lower than you, but he's very nice and respectful! I'm sure that you two will get along great," His words were encouraging, but as the door opened wider, Rodrigo was struck with sudden fear.

Anime.

Anime everywhere.

On the walls. On the desk. In the bookcase.

Everywhere.

My roommate is a weaboo, was the first thought Rodrigo had and he turned to Byakko, hoping that this was just a joke that the headmaster was playing on him, like this was some kind of hazing ritual and after everyone had their laugh, he would be shown to his real room. But Byakko just looked at him expectantly, the same stupid smile on his face, " Aren't you going to settle in? I'll show Ethan to his room, which is just down the hall. Our dorms aren't separated by grade level, so everyone has equal rooming opportunities. I only ask that your light to be turned off at 10pm on weeknights, and atleast 3am on weekends. I also ask that the boys stay out of the girl's dorms, which are in the building next door, unless there is a teacher present. I do not condone male students spending the night in a female's dorm room, and if caught, you will both suffer the consequences; maybe even expulsion. So please, refrain from that. Now, Ethan, please follow me, your room is down the hall."

Rodrigo was still in shock by the time Ethan and Byakko left, his eyes glued on all the anime. There were posters and figurines everywhere, not to mention that the closet was full of clothes, probably costumes from the shows! Slowly, Rodrigo entered and began to unpack, his movement slow and sluggish. He didn't have much experience with...an anime lover, but if they were all like how they were shown on tv, then there was a very high chance that his roommates as an overweight, unhygienic loser who owned body pillows of anime girls in seductive poses.

He couldn't help but wonder if Ethan's roommate was any better.

BYAKKO
" Annnnnd this is your room." He said as he opened lucky door number two, and held it open for Ethan to see. " Your roommate is a freshman named Belzeneff Rose. I must say its a strange coincidence, but we have quite a few students here whose names begin with 'Bel'. It's very strange. Maybe there was a trend going on? Anyway, he too is very nice and I don't think there will be any problems here. Please unpack and I'll send one of the teachers who are off duty right now to show you around. If you or your brother have any problems, my office is in the main building and I'm free any time." He gave a parting smile before closing the door.

To: Vencentio
Subject -> New Students

Our new students have arrived. Please come and show them around.

☆☆ Not This Again

Rodrigo shook his head, feeling the same dizziness that Ethan was, and threw his piece of toast on the ground. All the sparkles had been too much to handle and made his head spin, he didn't even notice that they had changed clothes until Ethan pointed it out. " What the shit, you're right." He inspected the sleeve of his new clothes closely and frowned. He hated the color grey and from the looks of it, these were their new uniforms. " These are probably our uniforms," He repeated outloud and turned to Ethan, just now noticing the change to his features too, " Yeah, you look younger too! Oh man, I bet this is Angel's doing, damn him!" He cursed. He had already been through puberty once, thank you, and it was a blessing that he didn't remember any of it. The last thing he wanted to do was to go through it again!

" This looks like a place where rich kids go," Rodrigo snuffed, suddenly defensive about this whole thing. Their mission was to win the UwaPri contest, and that was what he was going to do. He wasn't here to make friends, he was here to win! (Rodrigo is America's Next Top Model)

He grabbed his suitcase and followed Ethan to the school's doors. Cherry blossoms lined the path from the gates to the front doors, making Rodrigo wonder what season they were currently in if cherry blossoms had bloomed already, but Angel did say this this universe was different from theirs, so for all he knew, cherry blossoms bloomed all year.

As they approached the front doors, a white haired man pushed one open and greeted them with a warm smile. " Hello! You must be our new transfer students! You speak English, yes?" Rodrigo nodded and the stranger held the door for them so that they could walk through with their suitcases. " You're Rodrigo Smith, correct? And this is your brother? Ethan Smith? I'm the school's headmaster, Byakko, and it'll be a pleasure having you here! I'll show you to your dorm rooms and once you settle in, I'll take you to your classes."

SAIYURI SOHMA
24 years old

Saiyuri is the temperamental leader of the Sohma family. While the other members of the zodiac are cursed with animals, Saiyuri is representation of the God which places her in charge of the 13 members. Whatever she says is basically their 'law', but not not everyone follows as they should, which usually leads to punishment. She lives on the family's main estate and hardly ever leaves it's grounds. She was born with a rare skin disease that makes her skin burn whenever the sun touches it. This leaves her to wear long sleeves, dresses, and mittens whenever she has to leave the house, accompanied with a variety of hats. She is also very sickly and frail due to another illness so she always has a doctor on hand in the estate. She only leaves the estate for important matters and just calls the zodiac members to her if she needs to speak with them.


SAIYUKI SOHMA
24 years old

The twin brother of Saiyuri and the second leader of the Sohma family. He only appears during special occasions because he currently lives in England. He moved there during his high school years and after he graduated, he continued to stay there. He is very disinterested in the Zodiac and their problems, but he's much kinder than his twin sister by far. He doesn't share her illnesses and is actually very athletic.

☆☆ Not This Again

The thought of anyone trying to hit on Seraphim, their inexpressive and vacant Seraphim, made Rodrigo laugh harder until there were tears in his eyes and he was banging his fist against the table. Angel paused to clear his throat before continuing, speaking over Rodrigo's dying laughter, " Moving on, the gateway into this parallel universe will be open soon, so get ready to leave." He ushered both boys out of their chairs and herded them over to a white door that Rodrigo swore wasn't there before. There were many doors in Angel's shops that lead to different places, but they only ever opened for Angel himself and if Ethan or Rodrigo tried, they would just end up with a dingy storage closet. There was one particular door in Angel's room that they had specific instructions never to open, under any circumstance, and Rodrigo had always been curious as to where it lead to but never had the chance to find out. This door though, didn't look like anything special. Infact, it looked really beaten down and the wood was chipping off. Angel placed his hand in the center and placed to fingers to his forehead with the other, and began to recite a spell. Meanwhile, Seraphim handed Ethan and Rodrigo their suitcases and gave them a friendly pat on the shoulder, his way of saying goodbye.

Angel completed his spell and the door suddenly sparkled and Rodrigo could faintly hear a catchy tune playing in the background. When Angel opened the door, the other side was completely black but the music got louder. " If you step through here, you'll be teleported to the Academy's doorstep. The headmaster has been alerted of your arrival, so he should be waiting." He gave Ethan and Rodrigo his own parting smile and held the door open for them, " Remember, let me know if you run into trouble and update me daily on your progress. Your goal is to capture the trophy, but don't forget to be yourself and have fun."

Seraphim suddenly appeared again and shoved a piece of toast in each of their mouths, " You should get going, or else you'll be late for your first day of school," He said flatly and shoved them into the darkness. As soon as they were completely on the other side, Angel shut the door and the sparkles abruptly died, leaving the old rotting in it's place. He turned to Seraphim and shook his head, " I hope they succeed..." He trailed off. The fate of his homeworld rested on their shoulders and they had no clue.

~summary~
They are surrounded by S P A R K L E S and glitter and they land infront of the school's gates. Their appearances have changed so they can pass off as high schoolers.
