[[ i don't know any japanese names, so i made up one for this teacher. >.< ]]
After class was dismissed, Jeschaal waited with dread as the other students filed out, until she was left alone with Mr. Yakisawa.
"So. Ms. Jeschaal. You were late this morning." From where she stood, Jeschaal nodded, not making eye contact with her teacher. "I know you are a good student, and normally I overlook tardies, but today was unexceptional. I am going to-"
Mew
Jeschaal's face turned pale as Smoke spoke from inside her satchel, and poked his little furry head out the top, and the teacher noticed immediately.
"A kitten? Again?" He sighed, and reached into his desk drawer. "I really hate to do this but that is the tenth animal you have brought to class so far this year, and you know they are forbidden at school." "Y-yes, Mr. Yakisawa." Jeschaal was busy with Smoke, trying to push the stubborn kitten back into her back, of which he refused with many more little meows.
"Here, this is your detention slip. You may want to call home and let your parents know you will be remaining at school after class." Her face once again flushed red, the young girl thanked Mr. Yakisawa, took her slip, and left the classroom, scolding herself for bringing Smoke, and sending angry thoughts towards the kid who bumped into her that morning.
She headed to her locker in silence, detention slip crumpled in hand.

((K, I'm going to jump it forward to lunch now. lol))
Noel jumped as the bell rang announcing lunch time. Her classmates all rushed to get to their lockers and grab their lunches, but Noel took her time. All she could think about was making the phone call to her father. She knew exactly how he would calmly reprimand her and tell her to come straight home after the detention. Sometimes she wanted to scream at him because he never showed his true feelings, he never displayed any kind of emotion. He was cold as ice.
She eventually made her way to the office. She asked the secretary if she could borrow the phone and dialed her number. The phone rang three times before it picked up.
"Rigentes." It was her father.
She told him about her detention. He calmly reprimanded her and told her to come home straight after the detention. Although he didn't say it, she knew he was very angry with her. Noel hung up the phone, thanked the secretary, and went to her locker to eat her lunch.
As she unlocked her locker and pulled her lunch bag out, a boy from her class ran around the corner and crashed into into her. Noel fell to the ground and her lunch bag went flying through the air, scattering her food all over the floor.
"I am so sorry!" he exclaimed, getting up. He offered Noel a hand.
"It's fine," Noel replied, ignoring the boy's hand and getting herself up. He gave her a weird look as she started cleaning up the food, "Wasn't hungry anyways."
The boy apologized again, then ran off to join his friends. Noel sighed and dumped the ruined food into a trashcan. Today couldn't get any better.

*ack! must catch up >.<~!*
Lenore's wayward glance had not gone unnoticed. For half the rest of the period, she would feel a stare ever so often down the back of her neck. Mercutio nearly dozed off about halfway through class, but otherwise managed to avoid attention for once. Still, although he wanted to chat it up with the girl in front of him, he refrained; their last few squabbles were still fresh in his mind, and the memories weren't exactly pleasant. But it wasn't like he could just ignore her... Before he knew what was happening, class was out, and it was time for the next one.
Grabbing his book as quickly as he could, it came as a rather abrupt - and unpleasant - surprise when he found himself falling face-first into the floor. A quick set of hands planted themselves on the ground before he broke his nose or something, but a foot pressed into his back. A looming shadow made it's presence known, and before long he felt several other pairs of shoes shoving him into the linoleum, a familiar voice cracking with a sly tone and *Osaka accent "Heya, Darkie, what's happenin'?"
Oh gioia, these morons again. It was no secret that there was a "gang" of students hanging around, occasionally causing trouble but never really hurting anyone - except Mercutio. Maybe it was the fact that he was so different from all the other students, or that the teachers didn't really care what happened to him, but the near-daily taunting sessions had only gotten worse as the year progressed. They made fun of everything - his skin color, his posture, his accent... hell, even his hair, which Nero considered the absolute worst offense - but up until recently he had simply tried to ignore them, and for the most part it worked.
"So what's the freak up to today, huh?" the taunters started, laughing in chorus. Mercutio glanced around as best he could, but really couldn't see anyone around, save for a few students that tried to look as busy as they could while rushing to their next round of classes. Not that he expected anyone to help, but- His train of thought was interrupted when a boot came down on top of his head, keeping him from looking around much more. "What's wrong?" one of the taunters cowled, "Can't find anyone to help poor little Darkie? I don't blame them, with that wild hair! You probably scare all the women away from whatever s**t-town you come from, don'tcha?!"
That was it. That was the breaking point. No one made fun of Mercutio's lady-wooing abilities and got away with it! The laughter continued, and on cue from the "leader", they started kicking the crap out of him... though really, it felt more like pebbles than hard jabs. They were determined to "put him in his place", as the groupies had made clear so many times before; today, they were going to see a very different side of this "gentle giant". He had weathered it all up to this point, but no more. They would remember his name after today, and speak of it only in hushed tones like the frightened children they were - and would be.
Angered - no, enraged in fact - he made only minimal gestures to defend himself, protecting mostly his head as he waited a few moments until one of the arrogant little punks kicked just the right way... and grabbed the foot like a snake striking, twisting it with a flick of the wrist as another hand shot out to grab the other foot. Now, most people might think all Asians are masters of karate or whatever fighting style one associates with them, which is reflected in most any movie that stereotypes them; this could not be further from the truth. They don't all know secret ancient martial arts... nor do they always land on their hands and feet.
No, quite often, when confronted, they'll fall onto their asses, just like everyone else. Like this example, for instance.
The kid went down like a sack of crap, wailing like a little girl as he fell flat, knocked silly when his head hit the pavement. Faster than the others could react to, Mercutio was on his feet, his fists finding the leader's face with precision honed in the back-alleyways of his native Italy. Had none of these kids ever heard of Rocky, the Italian Stallion? Apparently not, because they all looked simply stunned at the fact that *le gasp!!* this strange, dark-skinned kid could fight!
One kid, on a whim and not much intelligence, came up behind Mercuito, screaming as he tried to kick him in the back, only to have his foot caught and his knee jabbed back at his face as he fell. Despite multiple efforts from the other children, the fight was over in two minutes, tops, leaving several on the floor with bloody noses, one child unconscious, and whoever was left that had any sense in them had taken flight as soon as the fight started. Nero stood there, trying to catch his breath, when one of the teachers "just so happened" to pass by.
Needless to say, he was blamed for everything, and found himself in the principal's office for the next few class periods. Even when he was allowed to leave for lunch, it was only under heavy surveillance from various teachers. The only reasons no law enforcement were called in was because no one had actually seen the event actually unfolding, and because the school head didn't want an "incident" to be suspected. Not that Mercutio didn't get stares from the other children, looking like a half-dead mummy from the various bruises and cuts that were patched over, as well as his scraped-raw knuckles, if someone cared to look close enough.
Instead of looking for an occupied table, he set his butt down at an empty one, his sour demeanor not exactly attracting any cute girls to the table today. The only thing that cheered him up was that the students that hadn't run were gone for the day, one of them (the leader) in the hospital from multiple fractures and a head injury (which had been induced when he slammed the kid's forehead into a locker, most likely). Detention was going to be the least of his worries after school today; living mostly on his own anyhow, he didn't have to really call home, but had anyways, merely out of courtesy - and to get the verbal abuse from his legal guardians out of the way.
*yeah... i think that's enough x-x*
<for anyone who doesn't know, an Osaka (Osakean? idk XD) accent in Japan would be relative to a Southern accent in America; ie- it's their "hick town", persey>

(I must say, I am quite impressed with you guys so far.)
Shinnon just let the rest of the day go by in a blur. He slept most of it away and when lunch came round he sat by himself not wanting to deal with anyone else at the moment. Namely because he was watching for anyone with a strange energy about him and boy did he find it.
The "gentle giant" as he was called was sitting alone at his own table completely oblivious to the stares that were being directed his way. Shinnon had heard about the incident no matter how much the teachers tried to cover it up. For crying out loud he had caused one kid at least to go to the hospital.
Now he could see an almost dark presence about him, Shinnon didn't know if he was just naturally gloomy or if he was pissed but there was no reason to be giving an aura off like that unless there was something special going on with you.
He ate quickly and let the rest of the day go by until it was detention time, he was glad to be out of his classes but knew his parents would be pissed at him for coming home late...like they actually ever cared. He didn't even bother telling them about it. He would deal with it when he got home yet as he slid the door open and walked into the classroom he felt that oppressive aura once more and saw the kid sitting there in the room.
"Oh great your here too..." he said without thinking it slipping straight out.
"MR.OKAMI!" came a shrill female voice from behind him as he jumped and turned around. Ms. Suzumiya stood there in her high heeled pumps and chefon blouse, her hands on her hips and her fingers balled tightly resting on her designer skirt.
'This woman cannot afford this stuff on her salary,' he thought as she reprimanded him on his rudeness, though she was completely unaware of what Shinnon had said that for.
He went to Merutio as he thought that was his name and bow,"I am sorry for my rudeness, please forgive me...."
Ms. Suzumiya walked to the head of the classroom not giving it a second thought yet keeping an eye on Mercutio after hearing about the incident from earlier today.
"The others should be here shortyly," she said as she sat down at the desk and pulled out a magazine waiting for everyone. She was a slacker in her own right, but she would make everyone due what they needed when they were all present....

Lenore headed to the detention room after school. She didn't actually have a detention, she was just an aid for that teacher... Ms. Suzumiya grated on her nerves a bit, but she was one of the more diligent teachers there, so they got along pretty well. They weren't best friends or even on a level where they'd call themselves some sort of friends, never would be, but it was a kinda mutual respect.
She headed into the detention room and nodded to Ms. Suzumiya, waiting to see if she'd need anything.

As the day ended, Noel made her way into Ms. Suzumiya's room and quietly scanned the room. She recognized both Mercutio and Shinnon. She didn't really know anything about them but they both intimidated her. Lenore she had seen around school but hadn't ever talked to. She dropped her books on a desk in the front row and quietly took her seat.
Looking around the room again, she noticed the windows were open and immediately felt much colder. Shuddering, she zipped up her coat and slipped on her mittens.

Jeschaal spent the rest of the day in silence, going through her classes without really paying attention. She had called home at lunch, and let her parents know she would be staying after school, but there was no way she was telling them it was for detention. They could fill in the blanks with whatever they thought she would normally do after school.
Once the bell rang for the end of the day, Jeschaal headed to the class designated for her detention with dread; she'd never gotten detention before, and she didn't know who the teacher was. She was also dreading going because detention was where all the trouble-makers went, and she knew quite a few of them around the school.
Although, on another note, she had seen quite a few of them with bloody noses and an ambulance had arrived earlier that day. Maybe they wouldn't be at detention! With a small smile, Jeschaal opened the door, only to see Ms. Suzumiya at the teacher's desk, and saw four other students in the class, alhtough only three appeared to be serving detention.
The one boy she recognized as the one who ran into her earlier that morning, and the other three she'd seen around school, but hardly knew.
Taking a seat near the back, she pulled Smoke, who had been whining more and more towards the end of the day, out of her pack and sat him on her lap, feeding him tidbits she had saved from lunch. Hopefully, he would quiet down after this and just sleep on her lap. She knew how unforgiving Ms. Suzumiya could get.

*sorry for taking a few days kinda lost track of time for a bit... but here's a post : D * Why was he here? Not detention, of course; that part was obvious. In fact, he was lucky to have not gotten immediately expelled for such an act... and sticking out like a sore thumb did not help much at all either. No, the question he preoccupied himself with was why he was in Japan, of all places? A place so bloody xenophobic that the people here didn't even trust others that were from different parts of their own bloody island! What was up with that, anyways?! Back home, no one really gave second looks to strangers, even in school; they were generally viewed as strangers, yes, but never pointed out or exiled by other kids. Granted, some of them might have been turned off a bit to the country when they came in and saw street-walkers doing business out in the open, but that was beside the point. The point was... why was he here, now, serving detention in a JAPANESE school, where his grades were barely passing and his attitude and "look" always under close watch by every single freaking person in the school?!? No one seemed to care that he didn't want to be here as much as the next kid; no, most of them seemed to be focused only upon how much of a- "Oh great, you're here too..."At that moment, had the teacher lady (Mercutio could never get the names straight around here...) not intervened in her shrill, high-pitched voice, Nero would have been shoving his right fist down the little bastage's throat, ripping his heart out, and laying a brick in the hole left over. He thought he'd felt someone's eyes on him during lunch, something he didn't take kindly to. Instead, he cringed at the woman's words, cupping his ears in response to her harpy-like shriek. Ye gods, that woman was loud!! Even if Mercutio couldn't understand the b**** half the time, it didn't take a genius to figure out she was serious about her job - perhaps a bit too serious. Well, whatever... she calmed down after the little s*** "apologized", coming within punching distance. Yet, he refrained, but still said nothing, probably because the first things that would come out would be a string of curse words that would make a sailor blush. And it sounded like there was going to be more of them! Oh the joy! Well, at least it got better from then on out; Ms. Black-hair showed her face, though she seemed to be here for reasons other than detention, since she didn't take a seat immediately, another cutie with red hair, who sat nearby, and a third, who was bundled up like it was the middle of winter... weird. Weirder still, Red-Head pulled out a cat, of all things! Was this girl academically suicidal or something?! Nero wasn't sure, but he was certain that there was a rule against bringing pets to class. Besides, what if the thing needed to use the bathroom, or barfed in her bag or something... Still, it made him uncomfortable, for completely different reasons; the cat... kitten?... was cute, sitting in the lap of a cute girl, who was sitting a mere few seats away from him. Detention be d***ed - he would get a word or two in before she left the grounds, though he made a note to keep his opinionated theory on animal population control under the rug until he knew how serious her obsession was. It'd burned him once already, earlier in the semester, with a completely different chick, and he wasn't going to let it happen again.

Shinnon sat a desk up and over from Mercutio as Ms. Suzumiya cleared her throat standing behind her desk.
"Now I do not know how the other teachers do after school detention, but each of you will learn who the other is in this room and learn something of yourselves," she said looking at each in turn.
Shinnon suddenly got a chill down his spine as he felt the hair on the back of his neck stand on end and he growled out loud. His eyes shimmered for a moment and he could have sworn he saw some sort of shadown behind her, something that was there yet not. He didn't know what to think of it.
"Mr. Okami, would you please introduce yourself," she said smiling at him in a rather uncomfortable manner. Shinnon, didn't like it nor did he like the way that Mercutio was looking at the girl he ran into on the way to school.
He stood and spoke,"My name is Shinnon Okami, heir to the Okami family."
He got out from behind his desk and bowed to everyone,"I am glad to make your acquaintance," he said again before looking back over his shoulder at Ms. Suzumiya.
"Mr.Okami, well done introduction yet aren't you leaving something out?" she asked slightly as she smiled awkwardly at him again like it wasn't something she was used to.
He cocked his head as that same foreboding feeling came over him as it did earlier in that day.
"Heir to the Salamander I believe you forgot to mention," she said as she looked at each in turn spouting off thier guardian creatures one after the other until she got to her assistant smiling awkwardly once again..her eyes looking glassy and almost transparent.....

As Ms. Suzumiya started naming off guardian animals, Lenore visibly stiffened. Her eyes roamed over the other students, then focused on the teacher again.
Lenore was a bit shaken by what was happening, being close to Ms. Suzumiya and being able to see clearly that she wasn't herself.
It was like an automatic transition, from freaked out student to heir and representative of her family. Lenore stood taller and looked more focused as she looked into her teacher's eyes, "who are you?"

Noel tensed as the teacher started naming off the guardian animals. Honestly, she knew nothing about the other families; her father had only just told her that there were other families a few months before. Never in a million years did she imagine coming face to face with all of them at the same time.
As the teacher looked straight at her and rattled off her guardian, she jumped from her seat, startled. Her heart sped up and she she took a few slow steps back. Her head was racing, different thoughts and scenarios running through her head at the speed of light. She took a few deep breaths tried hard to conceal her emotions. Within seconds, her heart slowed down and her face returned to its neutral expression. She was still very frightened though.

Though she tried to ignore it, the young girl couldn't help but feel eyes watching her as she took care of smoke. Glancing up once, she met eyes with the other young man, but looked away quickly. No one had ever really paid her any attention; she was always the animal freak, the nature girl... She didn't know what to make of it, and so continued with Smoke, trying to calm herself.
As the piercing voice of their detention teacher spoke up, Jeschaal stopped fussing with Smoke in time to see the kid who ran into her earlier introduce himself. Shinnon She repeated to herself quietly, taking note. Then it surprised her when Ms. Suzumiya began naming off the guardian animals... And everyone in the room had one!
Jeschaal was very taken aback, and stiffened in her chair, of which, she noticed, all the other students reacted in similar fashions. The black kitten, feeling her distress, meowed loudly, and the young girl tried to shush him. Something seemed off with Ms. Suzumiya. An eerie change had come over the teacher since Jeschaal had set foot in the classroom, and it was not a good change.

*hooray for cussing in other languages =DI*
'Santo cazzo!'
Mercutio didn't usually swear, but this time it seemed appropriate - at least, under his breath. Not that anyone here knew Italian, but hey, why take chances? Things seemed fairly normal for a detention session until the teach in charge started naming off every kid currently in the class, and what their guardian animals were. How the hell did she know about that?!
Not only that, but the lady didn't look right, her eyes all glazed over, as if she were possessed or something. Nero had seen that happen in person before, precisely once; he never wanted anything to do with that stuff again. Not speaking another word for a few moments while the others gave their reactions, he only spoke when he was sure the words were right, an uneasy knot forming in his stomach. If this lady had been "taken over", she likely had no clue what was going on, and hurting a woman was very high up on Nero's list of Things Men Just Don't Do, Period. But every nerve instantly sat on edge; if something was going to happen, it would come quick, and he had to be ready for it... if he could be.
"I second the lady. Just what is this about? How do you know all that?" One arm was reaching inside his backpack, looking for something - anything - he could hold on to that might do damage, such as a solid text book, or the razor from his pencil sharpener (mechanical pencils tended to break on him for some reason). Hell, it would be something, even if it wasn't exactly super-effective.

A deep growl emanated from within Shinnon's throat as he looked over the classroom and back at Ms.Suzumiya. Exorcisms were not his strong suit and quite frankly that type of fire power his father had not taught him yet.
"Yo bird girl, you might want to get away from our esteemed teacher before something unpleasant happens," he said to Lenore. He hadn't meant to sound insulting but he had to figure something out, his powers were out of the question for he would hurt the teacher's body not what was in her.
However, he had a feeling that she wouldn't back away so easily as that shadow he had seen around her suddenly took shape and a clawed hand reached out and grabbed Lenore.
"Physical Manifestation?!" he exclaimed as the shadow's other hand shot out and its fingers shot darts at all the remaining members of the group.....

Lenore called out as the shadow grabbed her. She hit it and struggled, but nothing came of it. She then had no choice but to use her training.
She took just enough time to concentrate and then placed her hand on the shadow, sending electricity through it. Lenore was promptly dropped and she rolled out of the way, a good distance from the shadow.
