"For starters," the girl started to say as Damien turned his face towards her and stared directly, focusing his whole attention on the words being said by her. "I followed you to class because I was lost. Secondly, you're the only student I know at all in this entire room. And thirdly, I want to know if you were the one who trapped the girl and what it is you want with the bunny girl."

The statements said by Elizabeth forced the obscure male to smirk to himself. Her curiosity had been successfully excused, yet some of the things she said made him laugh. Anyone would've think Damien was a maniac, for he started to laugh out of nowhere, but soon, he'd reply. Before he spoke, he noticed the girl wasn't done talking; so he just held his comments back and remained quiet. "You might think this, makes you invisible, but all it really does is make people notice you all the more. Keep that in mind next time you go on a mission."

After this, a minute of silence grew among the two; for Damien was waiting for her to say something else. When he was sure she was done with it, he took a deep breath and stared directly at her. "Well, then." He started. "First off; glad I could help you getting here. But, you know me? Hah. Trust me; you don't know me one bit. And no, I was not the one who trapped the girl; she was already frozen when I got there. As for the bunny girl," Damien said as he pushed the picture deeper inside his pocket and then turned at Yuki, "that's a secret. As for this attire, trust me, it's doing its work." There, Damien took another deep breath. By his last statement, he meant that the whole murky look scared people away, forcing them to believe he wasn't a friendly person; and definitely not one to mess with. In any case, it was true. Before he could say anything else, Mr. Kenji walked in. "Alright class, its too fine a day to be inside. Everyone follow me!"

Most of the students stood up and began to follow Kenji, as instructed. The only ones that weren't were a select few that were staring down at a knocked out girl. Some guy bullying another boy with a Natu drew special attention of Damien, but he ignored it never the less. Before standing up, Damien sighed and turned to Elizabeth, scanning his mind for her name.

"Have a nice day, Elizabeth." Damien said as he pulled out a weak, forced smile and then stood up, following Mr. Kenji and walking behind the large group. That had surely been the most amount of words he had directed to someone in the past week.

He didn't look back now, for he was worried when he lost sight of Yuki. He was too focused on himself like to turn to a side to see if had stood up or stayed back. ~Dammit…~ Damien said to himself as he looked over the heads of everyone, his height easily allowing him to. Sadly, though; because of the same fact, he was very easy to pick out of a crowd. Damien tried to step back, but the group behind him continued to push forward. Not wanting to cause ruckus, he just went along with the current, deciding to force a way back once everyone stood still. The group was soon led to one of the buildings on campus, and they were all taken to listen to the explanation on the islands. Once everyone stopped to hear Kenji speak, Damien tried to push his way back, but the teachers inside the place didn't allow him to. They said he had to stay with the group, something that pissed of Damien a lot. Without having anything else to do, Damien just stayed there.

"Right class, For this lesson I decided I'd show you the surrounding islands, so you know more about them when we travel there next week", Kenji announced with a smirk. "The first island will be this one, Inferno Island. This island is reasonably small, because its not really an island. It's a live volcano. The island is a great place to catch fire pokemon. We'll be travelling there next Monday. You will be given poke balls there; however should you want to stock up on some more, there's a little shop next to the cafeteria which sells alot of things useful to trainers. Moving along. This island is known as Silva island. The entire island is covered is covered with a deep jungle. Mythology tells us that there was once a great pokemon deity, sickened by humans mindless squables retreated into the deepest part of the forest, and should one ever find this deity, they would be granted one wish. I wouldn't get you hopes up though; many have tried and come back empty-handed. Grass, Poison and Bug Pokémon live there, but it is not unknown for a few Flying, Normal or even Fighting Pokémon to be there. We travel there next Wednesday. This next island is a sort of mix. It has some woods, a lake in the middle, but is pretty flat. Many different kind of Pokémon live there. We shall be travelling there next Friday. Alright, class, that concludes today's lecture. Let's go downstairs and have some fun".

~About time.~ Damien thought to himself as he and the group left; going downstairs and out of thebuilding again. Mr. Kenji led them to a small dirt clearing next to the building and spoke.
"Everyone, Since we've still got about 1/2 a period left, we'll have a little tournament. I have randomly selected students to battle each other. Our first battle will be: Adam Berillo VS Damien Decay. Once you two are ready, you may begin".

"But Mr. Kenji!" Damien called. "I- I can't I have to go look for–…"
"What, Damien. Scared?"

A familiar voice spoke from the opposite side of the Arena. Damien turned around and noticed that in fact Adam Berillo was the guy he knocked unconscious at the ship on his way here. "You afraid that I'll beat you up, zombie?"

"I thought I was a Vampire." Damien said sarcastically as he stared at Adam, who quickly proceeded to let out a Ralts. "Fine," Damien said as he pulled out Zero's PokeBall and called him out, "let's get done with this." Damien disliked battling, a lot. Not only did he dislike Pokémon fighting each other; but he wasn't good giving orders. Now, he had to give orders to prevent his Pokémon from fainting, and possibly to save himself from a lifetime supply of teases and humiliation. Zero came out of his Pokeball, viciously scowling and growling at the Psychic Pokémon, and then the battle started. "C'mon, Zero; I'm busy. Let's get this done quick."

The Ralts belonging to Adam seemed to be quite peaceful, for it didn't seem to care much about the fight; much to Adam's dislike. Probably that was Ralt's manners; but in any case, Damien enjoyed this. "Ralts," Adam called. "Use double team! Get that stupid dog confused." Ralts didn't say or move anything; it just obeyed. The Ralts copied itself a number times, soon surrounding Zero; who was still waiting for instruction. "Zero," Damien said relaxed, "Just burn all of them until the right one's found."

The Houndour used ember on all of the copies, making all disappear one by one. Results were obviously not coming soon, though; for every time one was destroyed, another one or two appeared. Zero only used ember again and again, hoping to hit the right one for once. The attempts were futile, though; and anyone looking at Damien could be aware this was getting on his nerves. Damien grimaced at Adam, who was smiling; confident about his win. "Okay, Zero; Leer!"

The Houndour stopped spinning immediately after Damien said this; and, standing in a defensive position; let out a bright, sparkling light out of his eyes. The sudden flash stunned the real Ralts, making all of the copies disappear. "Perfect, Zero. Now, while he's startled; ember!" Just before the flame hit, Adam spoke again. "Ralts, Teleport!"

The Ralts obeyed and appeared somewhere else; making the attack miss. "Dammit!" Damien yelled. "Stop moving! C'mon, Zero; calm down. Try to hit him." Zero had grown quite altered already because he couldn't see the Ralts. It was teleporting too much. When he heard Damien, though; he relaxed, focusing on the constantly moving Ralts. Then, he noticed the places he was teleporting to had a pattern; and using his knowledge on the next place, Zero used ember; landing a hit. Ralts was knocked back, but then quickly stood up. "Ralts." Adam said. "Use confusion!"

Ralts put his tiny hands on his head and let out a thick purple wave. This hit Zero directly, but because of the typing, Zero suffered no damage. He wasn't even pushed back or anything. While Ralts stood immobile, Zero launched himself at the Pokémon and let out a Bite attack; landing a supper effective critical hit and making the Ralts faint.

Damien immediately shifted from an anxious mood to his usual gloomy one; calling Zero towards him and bending down to pet him. He could've easily said something to humiliate Adam on his poor knowledge of Pokémon typing; but instead he just pulled the hood of his sweatshirt up again and walked away, the crowd staring at him confused. ~Meh.~ He thought as he walked over to a bench that was under a huge tree. Because of the tree's thickness and dense foliage; there was a large shadow below it. Damien and Zero became almost invisible as they his in the shadows. The male took a deep breath and then stared at the crowd; not caring about the Pokémon battles. He took a deep breath and decided to rest for a while. ~I'll go search for the target later… Man, is this tiring…~
 
Mala sped walked though the hallways of the academy hoping that none of her students would notice her wait arrival. She looked around and knew that she had a class to teach around here somewhere. Mala looked around and then saw the door. She at once opened the door and found a classroom of students in many different types of clothing. Each student was talking loudly until they realized that Mala was there. Mala looked at them and said, "Good morning students. Sorry I am late."

Mala walked coolly to the table in the front and place her book on the table. She then looked at the student in the front row and said, "What class is this?"

The student looked Mala a few times and blinked. He then said, "Umm...Shouldn't you know? This is your class."

Mala blinked a few times and then patted her skirt a few times and said, "I know that." She then looked away and said, "I was just testing you. Pop quiz you see. And well...you fail." Mala then looked at another student in the front row before the other student could respond back. "You, what class is this?"

The student looked a bit nervous and said, "Second period History 101." said the student in fear of failing this 'pop quiz'.

Mala at once nodded and was glad she was able to figure out what class this was. Luckily it was one of her History 101 classes. Mala knew that she taught a few History 101 classes along with a few Practical Art and one or two Contest 101. Mala then pulled out her PDA and hook it up wirelessly to her computer on the front desk.

Mala then walked before the front desk and said, "If you turn on your computers which I am sure you all were able to personalize your profiles in your first period. I have just uploaded the syllabus for this class. Please look over it and make sure you understand it."

Mala then walked over behind her desk and wrote on the whiteboard, "My name is Ms. Mala Advent. For the sake of this class and school activities you can call me Ms. Advent. I have been teaching at Cineris Titan Academy for half a year now and plan to be here for many more too. History is a very important subject and helped formed what we know today including the many legends that you may know. It helps form the reality that we know now and that is formed by the Time and Space Legendary Entities. You will find that a lot of what history there is today is actually have some sort of connection to what legends you may know and that-" Mala then paused as she caught herself going into one of her rants. She then turned around and said, "Any question?"

One student raised their hand and said, "Are you going to read the syllabus?"

Mala sighed. She was hoping they would read it on their own. The first day of class was always easy for her since she didn't have to really teach anything. Just introduce the course and maybe talk about the importance of History which she kind of almost did. Mala sighed and said, "Umm...yeah. I have to." Mala press a few buttons on the table and soon the projector screen was brought down. Soon the image of her History 101 syllabus appeared.

Mala sat on the desk and cross her legs. She then said to begin the explanation of the syllabus, "As you can see here..."
 
Cierra heard the "prediction of death" out loud. Looking over, she saw one of the boys playing with tarot cards. Ah, to have been a fortune teller, Cierra thought, sighing. However, just because one flips over the death card does not mean someone is to die. Surely one should know that if they use tarot cards. Follow the guide... She then opened up her sack and brought out her own guide. It was an I-Ching guidebook. She then brought out three coins. If more are heads, then I draw a straight line. If more are tails, I draw two lines next to each other, equaling the length of the longer line. After flipping the coins six times, Cierra got what seemed to be this:

-- --
-----
-----
-----
-- --
-----

Flipping over her I-Ching book, Cierra flipped through the pages until she found what she was looking for. She then began reading it softly.

"49. Ko - Revolution (Molting)

-- --
----- above Tui The Joyous, Lake
-----
-----
-- -- below Li The Clinging, Flame
-----

The Judgement

Revolution. On your own day
You are believed.
Supreme success,
Furthering through perseverance.
Remorse disappears.

The Image

Fire in the lake: the image of Revolution.
Thus the superior man
Sets the calendar in order
And makes the seasons clear.

The Lines

Nine at the beginning means:
Wrapped in the hide of a yellow cow.

Six in the second place means:
When one's own day comes, one may create revolution.
Starting brings good fortune. No blame.

Nine in the third place means:
Starting brings misfortune.
Perseverance brings danger.
When talk of revolution has gone the rounds three times,
One may commit himself,
And men will believe him.

Nine in the fourth place means:
Remorse disappears. Men believe him.
Changing the form of government brings good fortune.

() Nine in the fifth place means:
The great man changes like a tiger.
Even before he questions the oracle
He is believed.

Six at the top means:
The superior man changes like a panther.
The inferior man molts in the face.
Starting brings misfortune.
To remain persevering brings good fortune." It was an interesting method, one not as well-known as tarot cards. No one seemed to hear her, which was fine for Cierra.

After a bit, Professor Darkrose announced a tournament. Sighing, Cierra watched as the first two people were picked, and waited for it to begin. Nothing else to do, she thought, Might as well call out Fia... When the Misdreavus came out of its Luxury Ball, Cierra began tossing the ball up into the air, catching it each time. She stared blankly into the battlefield as the battle went on. Well, surely all things will come to an end sooner or later, she thought to herself.

(Thanks to an I-Ching site for the I-Ching thing. I actually learned about it during my combinations and permutations block at my old private school (just a couple months ago, actually). My new reason to like math class more than ever.

And I know it was short overall, but I couldn't think of anything else to put...)
 
Trying to do the impossible;Making a friend.

ooc: Sorry I'm so late with a post, I ended up playing Pokemon Ranger 2 all day, which turned out to be addicting to pass up.

Yuki yawned as she watched the clock. School was already to proove to be quite boring especially without no one to talk too, it looked like Yuki would have to talk to someone by herself, which would proove to be a daunting task considering she was part bunny. "Oh well, guess I'll have to make due!" Yuki happily whispered to herself. She examined the room to see if she could find someone to talk too, the one person who she couldn't pass up to talk to was the silhouette of the boy who she had seen early , he was quite intimidating over all tall and seemingly gave a quite scary aurua, but I mean don't judge a book by it's cover..Yeah, Yuki would do that, but as she was about to get up and introduce herself the teacher had came in.

"H… hello everyone,my name is Lola Dao, but please feel free to call me Miss Lola." The teache4r said in a shy manner,a shy demaneor wouldn't seem to be fit for a teacher. Could it be act? Yuki was confused at this school, she knew nothing about anything in this place. Her Buneary looked at her worridly, Yuki seemed to know more about pokemon then anyone else, which made her worry even more that she was a freak. A few minutes later Mr. Kenji walked in, she looked quite happy.

"Alright class, Its too fine a day to be inside. Everyone follow me!" Yuki got up , as the rest of the class did and he led them out them outside, it seemed he wanted to do something because of the fine weather, which made Yuki nervous if it was something about battling, I mean she knew alot about pokemon but battling was out of her league.

"Right class, For this lesson I decided I'd show you the surronding islands, so you know more about them when we travel there next week", Kenji annouced with a smirk. "The first island will be this one, Inferno Island. This island is reasonably small, because its not really an island. Its a live volcano. The island is a great place to catch fire pokemon. We'll be travelling there next Monday. You will be given pokeballs there, however should you want to stock up on some more, theres a little shop next to the cafeteria which sells alot of things useful to trainers. Moving along". He led the class around the top level, so the next island was in view. Yuki sweatdropped a bit.

"A live volcano, oh dear.. What will we do Bunny?" Yuki whispered, for some reason at the word "fire" she had become quite panicy, apparently for some odd reason, she seemed to be afraid of fire. "Hah, I wonder if i get in trouble will a prince coem rescue me? Haha!" Yuki found herself laughing quietly to herself, while Bunny sweatdropped to herself about the fact that Yuki had such a short attention span.

"This island is known as Silva island. The entire island is covered is covered with a deep jungle. Mythology tells us that there was once a great pokemon deity, sickened by humans mindless squables retreated into the deepest part of the forest, and should one ever find this deity, they would be granted one wish. I wouldn't get you hopes up though, many have tried and come back empty-handed. Grass, Poison and Bug pokemon live there, but it is not unknown for a few Flying, Normal or even Fighting pokemon to be there. We travel there next Wednesday."

"Oh wow a great deity! That might be worth some investigating!" Yuki's eyes sparkled with delight at the thought of the word 'deity' she felt happy for some reason at the fact of finding some 'ancient markings' in some mysterious cave.

"This next island", he said as they walked, "Is a sort of mix. It has some woods, a lake in the middle, but is pretty flat. Many different kind of pokemon live there. We shall be travelling there next Friday". He turned around and looked at his class. "Alright, class, that concludes todays lecture. Lets go downstairs and have some fun". The teacher then led the class once again. Yuki began wondering about the various pokemon she could catch, but the one type of pokemon she wanted to catch was ice pokemon. Besides Bunny , her favoring type of pokemon were ice types, she wanted a full army of ice type pokemon.

"Everyone, Since we've still got about 1/2 a period left, we'll have a little tournament. I have randomly selected students to battle each other. Our first battle will be:

Adam Berillo VS Damien Decay.

"Once you two are ready, you may begin".

"EH,EH,EH?!" Yuki yelped in her mind, a battle? she began murmuring various swear word and began to panic. "But, but, I have no idea how to battle.." She looekd at her Buneary who was also nervous.

"Bun.." Bunny murmured sadly.

"Well we'll just have to try our best!" Yuki whispered to Bunny and waited for the battles to start, she looked as the boy dubbed 'Damien walked out amonugst the battle field,he was tall. Just like the silhouette she had seen. More frankly Yuki wanted to be his friend for soem reason , he loooked like he was quite lonely, and she too was lonely, but that couldn't be helped, I mean shehad no past, no family, no anything. she at least wanted a friend to pal around with. As she was pondering these things she felt her head throb. The voice seemed soothing, yet frightening at the same time.

"Ice is your element, don't forget it." The voice told her, Yuki's head began to throb worse and worse as she rubbed it minorly she made her way to the front of the crowd , her bunny earys were down into a submissive state, it was quite obvious she was in pain. It didn't look like anyone cared though, Yuki tried to ignore it and began to watch the oncoming battle. Hpwever as the battle begin to start she felt her head throb even more, it was hard to watch anything so she shut her eyes, and by the time her head was feeling well enough so she could open her eyes the battle was over and the two were walking out of the arena. Shequietly followed him out of the arena, no one would know she was gone so she didn't care. As she looked for him, she finally found him, he actually blended into soem shadows which was quite hard to do considering his size. He looekd to be tired and worn out, Yuki quietly took out an oran berry as a peace offering.

"Um, your Damien right? You look kinda tired you can have an oran berry if you want. Bunny brought it back to me when she was out on the grounds." Yuki smiled at Damien but her heart was beating about 1000 miles an hour, she had no idea how to socialize what so ever.

"Bunneary.." Bunny growled at the thought of giving the oran berry to Damien instead of Yuki eating it.

"Bunny hush it's nice to give people stuff!" The argument had began the two fought over something so random, but then after the short fight she turned her sights back on Damien.

"Well I know your name! My names Yuki, and thats my Buneary Bunny! So so, wanna be friends, i kinda don't have any, no one here seems to like me all that much." Yuki smiled at him and gave him the oran berry, Buneary almsot had steam coming out of her head at this point and ended up kicking Yuki.

"Ouch bunny that hurt, you little brat!" Yuki yeleld at Buneary, and ocne again the two were having quite a humorous pointless argument.

ooc: It was a good post to get Yuki more familiar with Damien even if he is the loner type, and it will make Damiens job easier of finding her. (I also wanted to see how Damien would react x3)

Friendship?

With the hoodie above his head and the soothing warmth of the bench he found himself in; Damien couldn't help but to notice his eyelids were slowly preparing to meet each other to make the male enter the deep meditation trance he called 'sleep'. He would've hit the sack already if it wasn't for the uproar and disturbing yells coming out from the crowd in the fighting arena, which stunned him awake every time he closed his eyes. ~Ugh…~ Damien thought to himself as he rubbed his eyes, tired. Zero was just circling around Damien, happy about his first win in practically his lifetime. After barking quietly for a second, Zero turned back and walked away to a tree, walking behind it so no one could see him and lifted his leg. You guess what happened next.

Damien slightly scratched his head as he looked over for Zero, searching for him. "Hey, Zero!" He called as he stood up. Immediately as he did, though; he looked up and saw something that made him very nervous. Damien was never really nervous or anxious; he was really cool about things, so having this feeling inside of him crept him out. A sweat drop flowed down his back as he saw what was approaching. His weak eyes spotted blue hair, and piercing iced irises met with his own eyes. Pale skin, blue attire; and bunny ears and tail. ~Uh-Oh.~ Damien thought to himself as Yuki began to walk towards him, coming from a short distance. ~Subject spotted. Is she coming over? My, my; what do I do, what do I do. Should I run? No, that'd be too suspicious. Just walk away? Zero could find me later, but what if she's not coming towards me. That'd raise awareness; just as. Okay, okay. Maybe she's just walking through. Yeah; yeah, why'd she approach in any way? I'll just… Turn around, and; walk away discretely, hiding when I get the chance. Yes, yes I'll do that.~

Damien, feeling incredibly edgy and jumpy by now, stood up from the bench, his hoodie falling back and took a step forward. He was stopped when he heard Yuki speak. "Um, your Damien right?"

~Sh*lolwut*…~ Damien thought to himself as his whole body grew tense. He felt a huge load of concrete bricks land right above his head. His breathing quickened in pace at an immeasurable rate, and he could feel his heartbeat in his eyeballs. His muscles contracted and his pupils shrunk. Darn. He had tried to stay inconspicuous all this time; and now not only was he noticed, but he had been directed words from the target. "You look kinda tired you can have an Oran berry if you want. Bunny brought it back to me when she was out on the grounds." Yuki said as she smiled warmly at Damien; stretching out her hand and handing him a blue, round berry.

Damien didn't say anything; he just stretched his hand as well and took the berry from her hands. Damien was so dumbfounded. He couldn't of anything to say or do. If he tried to say something, in any case; he'd probably stutter or only allow weak sounds to come out of his mouth. "Th-Thanks…" Damien said tiredly. The gesture in his face showed a million of emotions all blended together, most of them expressing confusion and panic. A slight hint of happiness and gratitude could be found however. When was the last time anyone had done something good for him? He couldn't remember. While he was fine just being ignored, the fact that someone walked up to him with a gentle expression soothed his desperate should; making him feel nice warmth inside. Drowned in emotion, Damien came back to his senses when Yuki and Bunny the Buneary started an argument over Yuki handing the berry to him.

"Bunny, hush it's nice to give people stuff!" Yuki said as she fought with her Buneary. Such a comedic scene made Damien smile, even laugh quietly at a point. He looked down at the Oran Berry, then back at Yuki. "Well I know your name! My names Yuki, and that's my Buneary Bunny! So so, wanna be friends, I kinda don't have any, no one here seems to like me all that much."

Damien remained quiet again. She seemed to be going through the same stuff as he was; but she had it much worse. She had the traits of a bunny, for crying out loud. That wasn't seen around often; it was only natural it could scare people away. The point was, anyway; she said the bold words. Wanna be friends. That was a pretty straightforward question. Damien shivered at the thought before entering a thoughtful state.

~Wow. I never thought I could make a friend so soon in this school, let alone the subject I was assigned to protect. I mean, I haven't even talked to her, she didn't even know my name. A link of loneliness between us is the only thing we have. Not this shady outfit or a nonchalant attitude kept her away. This is amazing. What should I do, though? Mr. Kenji never specified if I wasn't supposed to tell the target I was a guardian; or if I shouldn't interaction with her. Friendship's a strong word, and even a stronger bond. Can I be able to keep up with that? What I go through being her friend so I can be closer to her? Yeah, that could work. I wouldn't be suspicious if I followed her around. I'm her friend, after all. But… That would be so hypocritical. I'm not that kind of person. I doubt I can deny such an offer, though. I'd be left to look as a total ass. She wouldn't even allow me to talk to her anymore. God, what do I do. This is confusing. Well… I guess. I can be her friend. She seems to need a friend just as much as I do. Being an anthropomorphic gifted one… Makes me sick to imagine all the teasing she can receive in one single day. Ignorant people. It makes me feel bad for her. Should I… Is this also a guardian's job? I don't know… Friendship. Wow. Time'll tell. For now, Damien; behave. You can't afford scaring her away. Be on your best mood.~

As Damien stepped back to the real world, he saw Bunny kicking Yuki's leg. "Ouch bunny that hurt, you little brat!" She yelled angry as another argument between the two bunny-like beings started. ~Behave.~ Damien repeated to himself as he laughed. The funny situation now managed to pull out a laugh out of him. Not an evil smirk or a wicked smile. A true, authentic laughter. Something not seen all that often on the obscure figure. Damien took the Oran berry with his other hand and then, using mainly his strength, split the Oran Berry in almost two equally perfect halves. "Hey, look; no need to argue. See, you can have this part so Bunny isn't angry; and I'll have this one. Thank you very much, I actually think this'll come in handy, I was feeling a bit tired, actually." Damien said as he looked at Yuki with a bright smile. The greetings from Yuki had forced the male to come out of his murky personality and reveal his true self for a while. A very gentle, friendly and kindhearted someone. After giving the slightly larger half to Yuki, Damien stretched his hand in an invitation for a handshake. "Pleased to meet you, Yuki. I'd love to be your friend. In this place of pomposity, ignorance and superficiality, I think you need a friend as much as I do." Damien looked back at his fruity present and back up at Yuki. "And if you haven't made a friend yet, well, it's their loss."

Anyone who would've spoken to Damien before, who weren't many in any case, was sure to not be able to recognize this facet of him. Something as simple as an Oran Berry as gift caused a piece of the solitary shell to break with Yuki. As Damien introduced himself, Zero returned from the tree's shelter and stared at both of the two beings curiously, innocently walking over to Bunny and beginning to sniff her.
 
I'd like to reserve the other wildcard please...
 
((OOC Comments go in the OOC Thread. (: (Including this one... Which should be there... Hmm...)
And, though Eletj hasn't updated the main post, the second
wildcard has already been taken. ))
 
Raffine was quite amazed already by the academy, she found the islands very interesting. She heard the announcment of battle pairings heard and she was quite surprised. "Well I hope I can get a good challenge out of this." She said to herself. She then saw Yuki the bunny girl. "I dont know why Im so curious about her." Said Raffine to herself. "Maybe something is just telling me we're supposed to be friends" She thought to herself. She then approached Yuki and greeted her. "Hello again Ms. Yuki. Are you enjoying the school so far?" She asked politely. "You know you dont seem to be around people a lot I've noticed." If you want we could maybe hang out together at Lunch." She said while thinking "Whats gotten into me?" She then handed Yuki from her handbag a small compact accesory for make up. "Here I think the shades in here would look gorgeous on you." She said. She then looked at Bunny the Buneary. "Hey you, you look like you might want to use some. Would you like my special grooming kit for pokemon?" She asked Bunny. She then noticed she hadnt greeted Damien. "Oh my apologies, Mr. Damien, Salutations to you as well. hmm? You look tired." She stated as she looked back at Yuki.
 
Elizabeth frowned at the scene unfolding before her. The bunny girl had decided to walk over Damien to talk to him. Elizabeth had been about to walk over and congratulate him on his win.

Elizabeth crossed her arms and leaned up against a tree. She didn't know why this bothered her so much. It wasn't like they were even friends. In fact, Elizabeth was pretty sure he wanted to ditch her at all costs. But still...

Another girl decided to join the party. The fashionably-late rich girl apparently decided to make nice with the commoners, bearing gifts of make-up and sunglasses. Elizabeth blew a stray hair away from in front of her face and rolled her eyes. She decided to intervene before this all got too fairy-tail esque.

"Hey Day," Elizabeth walked over and greeted the boy with a grin. "Good job with your win. That guy didn't know what hit him."

She kneeled down and reached out to place her hand on his Houndour's fur, feeling warmth pulse from the skin beneath.

"That's a pretty special Pokemon you got there," she gave the dog Pokemon a pat, suddenly wishing she herself had a fire-type Pokemon.

She turned and looked over the rich girl.

"Be careful there, girly," she laughed. "Your nose is getting a little brown."

Elizabeth winked at the bunny girl and straightened up, looking at the expressions of the students around her.
 
Raffine was shocked to hear such words from Elizabeth. "Excuse me?!" Raffine said as she got red in the face. "How dare you insult me with such unrefined words!" She yelled at her. Rafine quickly looked in her mirror and saw nothing. "Hmph, who does she think she is." She said as she closed her compact. She then turned to Damien. "Yes that was quite the battle, your houndour seems very strong and formidable." She said as she looked at it curiously. She then released Mudkip from its pokeball showing it to Yuki and Damien. "My Mudkip is pretty competitive but dont worry it doesn't bite." She said as the mudkip smiled at the buneary and houndour. the Mudkip was leaning against Yuki and started getting happy. "Hmm? Well well well, it seems Mudkip has taken a liking to you. Just shows how refined of a person you are." Raffine said as she started smiling. But as she noticed it walked over to Damien as well she was in shock. What?! How could it possibly like him, that must mean theres something special about him! But what could it be?! "Well Mr. Damien if Mudkip seems to like you then there must be something special about you. Maybe I underestimated you." She said as she was still in shock.
 
Cierra listened in on the argument. The supposedly rich girl must've been insulted by the other one's remark. She then noticed the girl (Raffine, was it?) call out her Mudkip. Cierra then heard her say something about how it was competitive. Sighing, Cierra quickly whisked out a small energy potion. She had grown quite tired lately, and needed something to boost her energy. As she drank the potion she began to taste its peculiar tastes.

First, a touch of mint. Next, a bit of lemon juice. Back to the mint. Now a mix of the two. Was there some cinnamon added into the taste? With Cierra's potions, even if they had ingredients like thyme, or even rosemary, they always tasted unexpectedly tasty. It was like a small party in your mouth, as Cierra sometimes described it. She also made sure to give her potions to Fia or any injured Pokemon not belonging to someone; she always thought the potions you could buy at marts were too "fake", and although they did the trick, they really did nothing more than spray the Pokemon with chemicals.

There was an article a few years back. Cierra had read it, and it had mentioned how Pokemon - and even some humans - unexpectedly died at early ages, and how the cause was unknown. Cierra looked up details on these people and their Pokemon, and learned of the many potions and revives given to them. Pokemon shouldn't be given such...PROCESSED food! she had angrily thought before (and still did now).

Snapping out of her current thoughts, Cierra began wondering who was up next. I honestly don't know if they already announced it... Maybe they did? As she pondered this matter, she noticed the sun shining towards her. It reminded her of how Fia did not like fighting in the light, but rather in the darkness, when she was at a higher advantage. I should keep this in mind, Cierra thought, staring at her Pokeball blankly.
 
The oddest of friends

Yuki watched as Damien snapped the oran berry in half and gave one half to her. She had heard a small chuckle from him. "Hey, look; no need to argue. See, you can have this part so Bunny isn't angry; and I'll have this one. Thank you very much, I actually think this'll come in handy, I was feeling a bit tired, actually." Damien said as he looked at Yuki with a bright smile.

"Well you looked kinda exhausted..And I was told oran berries are good for energy! They are really tasty too!" Yuki laughed merrily. She then rose her fist in the air and yelled. "Alright I made a friend! And he's really awesome!" She had puffed out her cheeks and triumph and then laughed once more. Her bunny ears twitched merrily, as Bunny laughed merrily. After this little triumphent happy dance, Damien stuck his hand out in a handshake motion.

"Pleased to meet you, Yuki. I'd love to be your friend. In this place of pomposity, ignorance and superficiality, I think you need a friend as much as I do." Damien looked back at his fruity present and back up at Yuki. "And if you haven't made a friend yet, well, it's their loss." This made Yuki grin the biggest of all.

"Please to meet you Damien! And it's there loss if they aren't your friend, your really awesome!" Yuki shook Damiens hand eagerly, she hadn't been this happy well since ever.

She looked over to see his houndour coming over, he was sniffing Yuki and Bunny. Bunny gave a "Bunnery.." Bunny knew of Yuki's strange phobia of fire, Yuki gave a minor sweatdrop.

"Just keep calm he want hurt you..Let alone breathe fire.." Yuki thought to herself, holding back a gasp a fear and putting on a gently smile instead. "Oh this is your houndour, it's cute!" Yuk managed to say despite her nervracking fear of fire pokemon, it was easy to spot that she was trying her best to hold back the fear. As Yuki stood back up from the houndour she noticed Raffine come back, an obvious intention of curiousity in her eyes.

"Hello again Ms. Yuki. Are you enjoying the school so far?" She asked politely. "You know you dont seem to be around people a lot I've noticed." If you want we could maybe hang out together at Lunch." Raffine had said to her, a spark of curiosity still in her eyes.

"Well Damien has to come along too, he can't eat lunch by himself!" Yuki said with a smile on her face, had she just made another friend? It was hard to tell but it could go either way. Raffine then took out a compact case, it was filled with make-up which of course Yuki had never used before, but she took anyway.

"Here I think the shades in here would look gorgeous on you." She said. She then looked at Bunny the Buneary. "Hey you, you look like you might want to use some. Would you like my special grooming kit for pokemon?" She asked Bunny. She then noticed she hadnt greeted Damien. "Oh my apologies, Mr. Damien, Salutations to you as well. hmm? You look tired." She stated as she looked back at Yuki.

"Oh, really? I think bunny would like that..We've never used stuff like this before though..so I really don't know how to use this stuff.." Yuki sweatdropped as she looked at the compact kit. She didn't even know how to open let alone put make-up on. This was the first time she had ever set her eyes on the many different colors of make-up. As she looked at the compact case yet another girlcame over, a obvious look of digust on her face.

"Hey Day," Elizabeth walked over and greeted the boy with a grin. "Good job with your win. That guy didn't know what hit him." Yuki felt the tension in the air which made her back away from the two girls, she felt like a catfight would emerge between the two..Which made Yuki feel a bit nervous.

After a short amount of time, the girl named 'Elizabeth' winked at Yuki, and walked off. "Uhm..Uhm.." Yuki had no words, she had just made a friend and obviously Elizabeth had a problem with her and Damien being friends. "I felt some hostile tension.." Yuki told Damien and sweatdropped ocne again, so did Bunny. However this was not the end of the fight..No it went much farther.

"Excuse me?!" Raffine said as she got red in the face. "How dare you insult me with such unrefined words!" She yelled at her. Rafine quickly looked in her mirror and saw nothing. "Hmph, who does she think she is." She said as she closed her compact. She then turned to Damien. "Yes that was quite the battle, your houndour seems very strong and formidable." She said as she looked at it curiously. She then released Mudkip from its pokeball showing it to Yuki and Damien. "My Mudkip is pretty competitive but dont worry it doesn't bite. Yuki was rather relieved that it didn't escalate into a fight. Then before Yuki knew it the mudkip was nuzzling her legs in a playful way.

"Ah..Your cute!" Yuki smiled and began to pet the mudkip in a happy way.

Hmm? Well well well, it seems Mudkip has taken a liking to you. Just shows how refined of a person you are." Raffine said as she started smiling. But as she noticed it walked over to Damien as well she was in shock.

"R-Refined?" Yuki thought to herself as Bunny sighed annoyed minorly, however Bunny quickly recovered and hopped onto the ground.

Well Mr. Damien if Mudkip seems to like you then there must be something special about you. Maybe I underestimated you." She said as she was still in shock.

"S-special? Oh she must mean my ears and tail, if thats what she means if I'm "special." Yuki thought to herself. Yuki then turned to Damien, she was glad to have made a friend. And if Raffine was acting so nice that must me..Raffine wanted to be her friend too right? All this "friend" stuff confused Yuki. She looked at the two and smiled but then looked at them seriously.

"Hey..uhm..Did you hear.." Yuki froze up at this moment, she didn't want them to think she was crazy of courdse, with her hearing voices of course she would think she wa crazing. "Oh uhm nevermind..It must have been my imagination earlier!" Yuki dropped the subject completely however her mind was still trying to process those words.."Ice is your element.." What could that have meant. "So uh..What class are you most excited about this year? I'm excited about Mythology! I think it would be an awesome subject! I've always liked stuff like that!" Yuki giggled happily at her two friends.
 
Four's a crowd

Damien quickly found himself smiling exultantly as Yuki took his hand and shook it ecstatically. Though he didn't expect otherwise, the fact that she took his hand to complete the amiable greeting took his depressed mood to a jovial one. "Please to meet you Damien! And it's there loss if they aren't your friend, you're really awesome!" Yuki said as she let go of his hand; a cheery gesture blatantly making his way to her face.

Hah, you're really awesome. A friend, a physical present and a compliment in less than 30 minutes? This was Damien's lucky day, for sure. One that for sure he wouldn't forget anytime soon. Wow, friends. Not only had he befriended someone, but it was the target he was assigned to protect. The male was still shocked by this fact, but he snapped back to reality when he heard some sniffing. Damien, still quite pleased because of the fact someone was being nice to him and because he hadn't done anything stupid yet, looked down and noticed Zero was curiously snuffling Bunny and Yuki, trying to be acquainted to them by their scents. As the hound finished taking mental notes on the beings, Yuki; who Damien began to sense a bit nervous and jumpy because of her proximity to the Pokémon, bent down and petted the Pokémon.

"Oh this is your Houndour, it's cute!" The fact that she was shying her fear away was clear, but Damien thought it'd be stupid and pointless to bring that up. He didn't say anything; but instead just smiled. Right then, he saw a girl approaching. In fact, it was the same girl that first flustered his spying plans.

"Hello again Ms. Yuki. Are you enjoying the school so far? You know you don't seem to be around people a lot I've noticed. f you want we could maybe hang out together at Lunch." The girl asked courteously. With this, Damien discretely took his hand to his head and scratched it; wondering why was this girl being so polished with Yuki. In any case, however, Damien minded not; as long as she did not mean any harm towards Yuki, he was just fine.

Yuki's response, however; ignited delightful warmth inside Damien's body. "Well Damien has to come along too, he can't eat lunch by himself!" Ah, interesting; the taboo of sitting in such an important event as lunch was with the ones of low reputation had been dealt with. Unusual for Damien, naturally; and though he didn't say anything, a contented expression appeared on his face; for he was really joyful that someone had actually taken him into consideration.

The girl then offered Yuki and Bunny a couple accessories and make-up; things Damien was completely inexperienced at discussing. He didn't pay much attention to what she said to her, but he did have to talk back when this directed a greeting towards him. "Oh my apologies, Mr. Damien, Salutations to you as well. hmm? You look tired."

"Uh… Yeah, Hi…" Damien said reclusively as he instinctually pulled his hoodie up again. It was unnatural that after feeling so happy, all of a sudden Damien returned to his loner mood. Yet, it happened. What had triggered the event? The sudden arrival of a third party? The fact that his one hadn't brought him a present like Yuki did? Not even he was sure; but after all, the reasons didn't matter; only the consequences. He was about to give a step back in signal of his want of isolation, but then he saw Elizabeth approaching; greeting him even with a nickname like if they had been friends for a long time already. There was a tinge of disgust in her expression, however; and Damien was unsure if this was directed at Yuki, Raffine or even himself.

"Hey Day, good job with your win. That guy didn't know what hit him."

Because of the comment, Damien didn't feel so weird now. Hm, she approached with a compliment now. Damien now felt amazingly curious at Elizabeth. Why was she persistent enough like to continue talking to him even though he had curtailed most of the phrases meant for her? Most would have not even bothered to look at Damien again; yet she even talked back. Interesting, intriguing. Very intriguing. Damien, anyway smiled as he saw how she patted his Pokémon, complimenting him as well.

"Thank you." Damien started, his voice now being in a much more calm tone than the other times he had spoken to Elizabeth, and this was obvious. Though they had only been two words, the positive change on Damien's mood was obvious; now it was only left to wonder if Elizabeth had noticed or not. He didn't find anything else to say, though; so then he remained quiet, flashing a friendly smile at Elizabeth; but still hinting he was comfortable enough being alone. By now, Damien thought to himself that perhaps her thwarting his hideout in the tree wasn't meant to harm him; so taking the time to talk to Elizabeth, who kept on approaching, would be wise.

What she said next, afterwards, impressed Damien. "Be careful there, girly, your nose is getting a little brown." After she said this, she just stood there, waiting for the reaction of someone. Damien was the first to react, and he didn't hide it. He let out a loud laughter that lasted at least 5 seconds; but then he held it back because he knew it'd be disrespectful towards Raffine, who hadn't meant evil intentions. Brown nose; Damien hadn't head that one in a while, and such a simple comment made him chuckle.

After that, Raffine and Yuki started to talk about Pokémon, leading Raffine to eventually release her Mudkip. Damien wasn't paying a lot of attention to the Pokémon, but he was forced to look down on him when this one started to play around his leg, finding a comfortable spot on it. "Well Mr. Damien if Mudkip seems to like you then there must be something special about you. Maybe I underestimated you."

Damien didn't say anything, he just continued to smile blankly; leaving the fact that he didn't have anything to say stated. Peculiar. Damien wasn't very good with any other Pokémon besides Zero; why had this water-type walked over to him? He didn't know, but he didn't care much either. The fact that he had been underestimated, though; didn't surprise him; so the lack of a facial expression change in his face meant no change of emotion.

"So uh..What class are you most excited about this year? I'm excited about Mythology! I think it would be an awesome subject! I've always liked stuff like that!"

Yuki then decided to speak, immediately drawing Damien's attention to her. "Well," he started, making him the first one to respond to the question, "curiously, I'm really excited about Mythology 101 too. I find it really intriguing, and it makes me glad we share at least one class." He said this with a warm smile towards Yuki. It was then when he noticed he was next to 3 girls, all of whom had noticed him already. Yes, it took him all this time to put that together in his mind. After saying that and hearing the girls' responses, he felt pressure on him. They knew he was there, yet no one was paying special attention to him. That was, though; more than enough to make Damien feel nervous. He looked at the three girls one after another and then took a deep breath to himself.


Damien thought it'd be a good idea to leave. He could barely talk to one person in privacy; so he for sure couldn't sustain a conversation with the three females. Edginess and uneasiness surrounded him; and though the thought that this might be a little rude went through his head; he knew he should leave now. He could go talk to Yuki later, and if he didn't gather courage to do so; he could spy on her like the guardian he was.

"Well," Damien started to say as he put his hands in his pockets, his eyes barely visible because of the hoodie, "I think I should be going now. I have some stuff to do." The last statement was an obvious lie, no one had things to do, it had been a free day. What could be so urgent? Pretty much nothing. The way he told it, though; the seriousness in the comment could fool anyone. "I'll see you guys later. Have a nice day; Yuki, Elizabeth, Raffine."

With these words, Damien smiled once again and then turned back, walking away very slowly and having Zero follow him. ~Yes, that worked. Great, Damien; perfect.~ Damien congratulated himself as he continued to walk. As he made his way to the nowhere, Damien walked past a female dressed in a black dress, rubious hair and eyes and a noticeably large bust. Damien made only minimal eye contact; yet, he got a strange feeling as he walked past her. In fact... That strange sensation was familiar. He felt it when he first saw Yuki, Elizabeth and Raffine. It was like some sort of force, a power was emanating from their bodies. So alike, yet each one so different in their own way. Thoughtful, Damien scratched his head and continued to walk.

Soon enough he made it to another bench, one just like the one he was in not too long ago. This one, though; was across the campus, in a slightly solitary area. Damien sat down with Zero next to his legs and pulled his hoodie down, signaling he was calmed and relaxed. "What a day, eh, Zero?" Damien said as he petted the Pokémon. "Became a guardian, a spy and a friend all at once. Incredible." he whispered at his Pokémon as he looked up at the blew sky and just waited for time to pass.
 
Five is a party

Mala was almost done discussing the syllabus when a few of her students were looking out the window. She took a deep sigh and said, "What is it?"

One of the students look at Mala and said, "Umm...nothing Ms. Advent."

Mala looked at the student and said, "If it was nothing then you wouldn't be standing up. Now share to the class."

The student looked at Mala without saying anything and Mala sighed again. She then walked to the window and took a good look outside. It seems like some sort of pokemon battle was happening below with a lot of students gathering around. Mala just waved her hand and said, "Well well. It seems like something is going on there." She looked at her class and said, "I expect you all to look at least one fourth of the first chapter of your book. It should be somewhere. For now you need to study independently in this classroom." She then looked at the students that were gathered around outside and guess she should investigate. "It seems like no teacher is there watching them. I guess I need to take care of this."

The students looked a bit puzzled. Mala walked down the hall towards the main entrance of the academy. Then with a flash of red, a furret appeared at Mala's side. The teacher then looked at it and said, "Furret, we are going to check something out. Keep an eye out ok?"

The furret nodded and place his 'puffy' face which Mala knew meant that was her little furret's serious face.

She knew that if she used the excuse to supervise the students then it wouldn't look too bad. Clearly a large group of students shouldn't be out there right now without teacher supervision. Mala was outside and gathering closer to the large group of students. She took one good look at the group and saw that clearly Pokémon battling was taking place or had but there was a teacher there, Mr. Darkrose.

Mala looked a bit uncertain and guess she had made a mistake since she was not only unable to spot Mr. Darkrose from a distant but now wish he would look more professional. Clearly his outfit was not one of a teacher of any academy. Mala then looked around and spotted a few young ladies with one of them having bunny ears. Mala was puzzled and found it interesting. She decided to coolly walk over to the group of students and said, "Excuse me, mind telling me what is going on here?"

Mala's furret looked upset and serious as it stared down the students.
 
Fight or Flight? Oh please..Flight all the way :D

Yuki's happy expression could melt anyway any tension that had been aroused anywhere. She looked at the two for a response. "Well," he started, making him the first one to respond to the question, "curiously, I'm really excited about Mythology 101 too. I find it really intriguing, and it makes me glad we share at least one class." Damien told her, she could sense that everyone that had crowded around him was giving him quite alot of nervousness. Yuki's bunny ears twitched minorly, sensing that Damien wanted to run off at this very moment. It was understandable I mean..He had be alone all this time, he wouldn't just automatically be able to handle large social group. Yuki merely smiled deciding to to impose on the subject, it wasn't her buisness.

"Well," Damien started to say as he put his hands in his pockets, his eyes barely visible because of the hoodie, "I think I should be going now. I have some stuff to do." Yuki gently smiled at him.

"Kay, I'll see you later? Good luck with the stuff you have to do!" Yuki smiled at him as he dissappeared behind the corner. Yuki knew he was lieing, but he had obviously become nervous with three different girl standing around him. She decided it was best not to follow him and give him some space, her acute senses would predict he would runaway if she followed him anyway.

"So, Raffine..Are you excited to be in this school? I am, personally..Between you and me..This is the first school I've ever been too.." Yuki mumbled to Raffine. Buneary sighed and hopped off her shoulder and went back to exploring the school grounds. With Buneary, and Damien gone it was just Raffine, and the freakishly scary Elizabeth who had some type of issue you with her. Which made Yuki want to run away as well, but at this point she couldn't since a teacher had walked up, a obvious look of digust on her Furrets face.

"Excuse me, mind telling me what is going on here?" The teacher seemed to be curious yet a slight hint of anger in her gaze. Yuki had no words, really she didn't so she just kind of stood there, her heart rate rapidly raising.

"Uhm..Nothing, we were just talking..I was asking them what subjects they are most interested in.." Yuki said, avoiding the obvious holding back of stutters."Is there something wrong with that..? I mean we couldn't possibly talk in that crazy audience..That would be impossible." Yuki said, it wasn't meant to sond sarcastic..but it came out like it was a sarcastic retort. At this point..Yuki's rabit senses had kicked in and she experenced a "fight or flight" response, and of course with the glare of a teacher..She ran off being part bunny she could run rather fast..but even bunnys have their limits, she stopped once she had arrived in the shadows behind the school..Panting she sat on the cool ground and put her head to her knees. "That glare was scary.." Yuki mumbled, she had no idea why, but somehow on her first day of school, she had managed to get a teacher (and her furret) very mad at her..For what reason, Yuki would never know.

ooc: I know the fight or flight response was out there , but It would get boring if Yuki was just nervous, so I made her run away too
 
"Well sure he Damien can come along as well. I think he seems really nice." She said as she winked at Damien. Yuki asked Raffine about which class she was most excited about. "Well if you must know, I'm quite excited for the Battle Training 101 class, I need to shape up my battling skills and I was all inspired thanks to my cousin." She said as she began thinking about him. Damien then got up and said he had to leave. "Well we'll see you later maybe at Lunch." Raffine called out watching him go. Yuki then told Raffine that this was her first school. "Oh is it now? Well I've been to a couple of schools before but they were filled with strange people who would act like sore losers when they were beat. It was no fun there." She told Yuki. "And if you need any help getting around I can help you. I dont know if we have any classes together." She said as a teacher was coming by. "Excuse me, mind telling me whats going on here?" The Teacher asked as she seemed angry like the Furret beside her. After Yuki replied Raffine stepped in as well. "Yeah is there anything wrong with two students talking together and becoming friends? Or are friends prohibited in the school?" Raffine asked. She then saw Yuki run away to Raffine's surprise. "Yuki! Come back!" Raffine called out to her as she ran after her not caring about the teacher anymore. Shr then caught up to her. " Ms. Yuki what got into you all of a suden? But wow you sure do run fast." Raffine said trying to catch her breath.
 
OOC:

Surprise how that was handled. haha

IC:

It seems as if the response from the students weren't so friendly with the bunny girl to start, "Uhm..Nothing, we were just talking..I was asking them what subjects they are most interested in...Is there something wrong with that..? I mean we couldn't possibly talk in that crazy audience. That would be impossible."

Mala took a quick glance at the crowd nearby and guess that in front of that crowd was where the pokemon battling she saw from her room was taking place. Before Mala knew it, the bunny girl was now walking away or what Mala would said, hopping. Still it seems like another student in the group she was talking to was going to say something too.

"Yeah is there anything wrong with two students talking together and becoming friends? Or are friends prohibited in the school?" said the female student. She then became interested in the bunny girl that was called Yuki and ran after her.

Furret began to growl but Mala took a quick look at the brown colored pokemon and said, "Calm down Furret." She then eyed the pair and the other students that were not part of the larger crowd and said, "It seems like most students these days don't respect their teachers. How rude."

Mala then walked a bit closer to the crowd and could hear the interested whispers of the students and walked away. She knew that Darkrose was in this crowd somewhere and Mala couldn't afford to do anything here. Mala's first priority is to gather information and that what she was going to do.

Mala then walked away and could fell Furret running beside her. She then looked around and took a few glances of the students including the one named Yuki and her friend. Furret at once took the moment to climb up Mala to be at her shoulders and Mala said, "Don't worry Furret. I am just going to be a good teacher and just watch since it seems like Darkrose has too many students on his hands right now."
 
The Yin and Yang of Yuki

Yuki panted furiously as she sat on the ground, her lung were on fire, she could breathe because she had ran so fast, surely that teacher couldn't have caught up to her. Being a bunny anthromorph her natural instinct was to flee if any pressure came up, fight or flight..And she really didn't want her fight side to come out..Last time things happened. Yuki couldn't shake that horrible feeling. She stood up once more still panting, checking to see if she had lost the teacher, luckily she had, but someone had followed her behind the school. Raffine had followed her and was more out of breathe then Yuki.

"Ms. Yuki what got into you all of a sudden? But wow you sure do run fast." Raffine said trying to catch her breath. Raffine was breathing faster then Yuki.

"I-I don't handle pressure well..Lets just say that..It's a fight or flight response..And I don't like to fight" Yuki sat down once more and curled up in a ball, the blood curtling sound of blood spattering the walls echoed through Yuki's head, she held her hands to her ears, her ears had went down against her head.

"Please no, I'm sorry I'll do anything!" The voice echoed through her head.

"It's too late for apology, it's time for you to pay!" Another voice echoed, as more blood curtling screams filled her head, and then the sound of more blood.

"I'm sorry Raffine I need to take a walk by myself I don't feel very well.." Yuki then quietly made her way into the forest and sat down..Look at the various things that accompinied it, but soon she was at a cliff..a place where she could calm..And keep the lock strong on her other self. She sat down and looked at the calming waves, they had no effect..And before she knew it..

Snap.

An icy chill filled the air, the ground around her slowly began to freeze, sharp icicles surrounded her. Yuki's icey body sat in the midst, her icey hands took one of the knife-like icicles and snapped it from it's roof and stabbed it into the ground, Yuki looked at the icicle with dead eyes. "Soon.." She muttered the rest over that.. The icey chill continued to fill the air around the cliff, and anyone could see Yuki was back to normal and icey chill dissappeared. Yuki got up and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank Arceus I wasn't around anyone.." Yuki whispered as she left the nearly frozen over cliff, she was walking back to school grounds when she noticed a pecha berry bush. "Oo~ Yum~ Pecha berries!" Yuki giggled, she took her bag and began picking them happily, it was as if those terrible thoughts were gone..Her bunny ears twitched happily as she bit into one of the pink berries.

"What a day, eh, Zero?" Damiens voice echoed which made Yuki's ears twitch. She didn't here the rest of the conversation, but she didn't care.

"Damien?" She questioned to herself and decided to follow the vague conversation, she soon found Damien who was unaware of her presence. Which frankly, was probably a good thing..But, eh what the heck? "Damien!" Yuki yelled as she spurted out of the bush and raising her hands. Zero jumped back in surprise and began growling. Yuki giggled happily. "So this is where you went, I went wandering around, and I guess I accidentally found you. I was actually picking Pecha berries..And.." Yuki's voice trailed off as she caught sight of Zero. A growling, angry fire pokemon was the last thing Yuki wanted to see. "Eek!" She yelped and hid back in the bushes, and spyed out of them waiting for Zero to calm down, obviously her bunny ears stook right out of the bush..So it looked to be a pretty funny sight to behold. "If oyu want me to leave , I should huh..Their probably wondering where i am.." Yuki whispered as she hid in the bush, from the growling houndour.
 
Raffine sighed. "Well ok but watch yourself." She said as she took a walk around the school herself. She then encountered the boys from before. "Well well well. Look who we found Boys." Said the leader. "Oh, Drew." Raffine said as she thought in her head Damn if it isn't Mr. Flirt. She then tried walking away and then the Boys cornered her. "Where do you think you're going pretty girl?" Asked Drew. "Get Lost! Listen you half wit! I'm not in the mood!" She yelled. "Ooooooh you're still denying the fact you love me." Said Drew as he made a big grin. "Don't you know that I hate you?! I rejected you before and I always will!!" She yelled. She then noticed Damien far ahead with Yuki. Ah, its those two, and they're close by. Damn I need to use my powers. Raffine thought as she created large storm clouds above the school. Small sparks were appearing as she got angrier.
 
More than one?

As Damien waited for anything to call his attention, he was forced to think that nothing interesting would happen; and therefore he would have to find a way to entertain himself. For starters, he pulled out the ear buds of his media player and put them on; the chords going beneath his sweatshirt and staying hidden. As loud, hard rock music played, Damien looked up to the sky and entered another one of his thoughtful trances; this time pondering the events of this past couple of minutes. It seemed that none of the girls he had been around not too long ago opted for following; so his goal had been accomplished. Yet, had it been a smart thing to do? Not only did he leave the target by itself again, but he sure went somewhere far away from her. Plus, what had that strange feeling been? The one he sensed after walking past certain female and being around the other 3 girls. Such a strange emanation of energy hadn't ever been felt by the male of obscure appearance, and that new experience resulted incredibly intriguing. Damien scanned his mind carefully, searching for some reference of a book or literary article that described the force. None except–…

Damien lifted his butt from the bench and took his right hand to one of the pockets in his pants. His thick gloves proved to be quite an encumbrance to the hand in search of the pocket; but after a few seconds he managed to pull a very small book out of there. The book had the size and width of a pocket dictionary, but it seemed to be really old. Old in a vintage way; since it was very well taken care of. The outside of the book was made of a hard, cardboard like object and it was wrapped in a red fabric; one that had no design on it other than an ancient painting of Arceus in the front. The book was Damien's guide to the Gifted; since it explained everything related to Arceus anyone has ever known. Several chapters of the book focused on Arceus' reincarnations and such, being it the perfect manual on how to spot one.

Damien stood up for some moments to make sure no one was around, and once he was positive of that; he opened the book on a page that had a folded page used as bookmark and began reading. He had gone through the book too many times like for once human to count, yet every time he read he found out something new. The boy took the book very close to his face and let his eyes scroll side to side, page after page, line after line, after word after word.

He read the book for so long that Zero yawned loudly and became sleepy. Before he fell asleep on the ground, Damien patted the side of his own leg loudly; inviting the canine Pokémon to lie down next to him. Such and action could be really appreciated by Damien; seeing how all of a sudden the once very warm and gentle climate brashly converted to the one of an ice cap. As the Houndour lied down next to Damien, the boy petted his back, enjoying the warmth coming from the Fire-Pokémon. ~Why did this happen?~ Damien asked to himself as he pulled his hoodie back up to protect his ears from the sudden chill. And it hadn't been only cold air. In fact, tinges of ice and snow could be seen on the ground.

Damien was confused, and his instinctive reactions ordered him to investigate; but he didn't want to procrastinate his lecture. Damien continued to read, using Zero as a warmer, and soon he figured out something that called his attention. It was matter of logic; but too shocking to be truth. So he got that strange feeling when he met Yuki; while already knowing she was gifted. Maybe; the others were gifted too?

A long time of consideration deluged Damien's mind; but he was pulled out of his concentration when all of a sudden he heard a familiar voice. "Damien!"

~Yuki.~ Damien thought immediately as his whole body froze. Zero jumped down from his lap and stared at Yuki, surprised. ~Damn.~ Damien thought as he looked down at his book. He didn't want her to see it. Yes, it was too simple to create thoughts about anything; but that Arceus emblem could give hints, and Damien wanted to stay in the shadows regarding the guardian job. He very rapidly stuffed the book in his pocket and then stood up, looking at Yuki; who was seen through some thin bushes. . "Oh, hi there."

"So this is where you went, I went wandering around, and I guess I accidentally found you. I was actually picking Pecha berries..And… Eek!"

Yuki began to talk really calmly, but as soon as Zero's playfulness kicked in and he ran towards her; she jumped back to the bushes and hid. Damien scratched his head thoughtfully, pulling his hood down, as he saw this. It took him some moments to realize the ice-fire relationship. Damien laughed quietly as he saw this, then pulled out Zero's Pokeball. As a guardian; he should get rid of all threats; and apparently even his own Pokémon and friend was one. "C'mon, Zero; come back." Damien said as a red bolt zapped out from the Pokeball and Zero returned. ~Be nice.~ Damien thought to himself with a discrete sigh as he walked over to the bushes and offered his hand to help Yuki get up. "Don't worry." He said with a smile. "He doesn't bite… Hard."

As he helped the girl up, Damien put his hands in his pockets and then looked around. "And yeah... Uh… This is where I had things to do. I'm done with them now, though." Damien said with another quiet laugh as he looked around. "It was nice here for a while… But it turned really cold here all of a sudden; and I –…"



Before Damien finished talking, he noticed that not only had the temperature dropped, but now also clouds of storm were appearing all over the school. Wow. A thunderstorm all of a sudden? The weather was calm just minutes ago. Damien wasn't a big friend of rain; so his immediate reaction was to go run for shelter. "Well, it doesn't matter." Damien ended with a curtailing comment.

Then, Damien's stomach loudly roared. Besides half of an Oran Berry, Damien hadn't eaten anything in the whole day, and his intestines were letting the world know it. Damien, feeling embarrassed at the moment, took his hand to his stomach, and then left. "I think I should go get lunch at the cafeteria. I'm not a big fan of rain, in either case." Damien said as he turned around and gave 3 steps away before noticing what he was about to do. He was going to leave Yuki behind, again. Taking a deep breath, Damien turned around; and with a bright, friendly smile on his face, he asked, "Would you like to come?"

As Yuki accepted his invitation, Damien nodded to himself and then began a stroll to the place where they'd have lunch. The school's large cafeteria wasn't really far from there; yet, Damien run so not even one drop of rain would touch him. He loved water, but not when it poured down from the sky in the form of a storm. Once they were in, Damien grabbed his food and then sat on a slightly isolated table with Yuki. There weren't much persons in the cafeteria; but, Damien felt confident he wouldn't have to interact with anyone but Yuki. At such an important ritual as lunch was; who would like to sit on the same table with the loner, creepy guy and the girl with bunny ears?

"So, Yuki," Damien began as he took a bit of his food, which seemed to be pretty plain sandwich, "what brought you to this school, in first place?"
