Flint sighed "but .... pants .... " he said as he looked to the watch giving up on complaining to his sister. "You know you could just land normally ..." he said bluntly to haru . Flint wasn't easily impressed "despite that it was a nice flip"

"Oh. Well, if you're sure" Ryan replied. Slightly opening the box he was carrying, he took out a fork and took a small piece of the cake for a taste test. The shear volume of chocolate was overloading his taste buds...just as it was meant to. "Mhhmm. Chocolate coma" he moaned to himself. "We still have a little time left before class starts, is there anything you want to do until then?"

Aviva stood leaning against the wall with her arms crossed over her chest, her foot tapping slightly in impatience. Where is he?! She thought to herself crossly with a frown. If he makes me late he is in for it! Just as that thought crossed her mind she saw a very familiar figure leaping across rooftops. She refrained from rolling her eyes. "Show off." She muttered as she pushed off from the wall and made her way through the crowd and over to where her weapon was standing. She nodded at the others as she approached them, keeping eye-contact with her sister minimal as she stood next to her weapon, her arms now hanging by her side. "Took you long enough." She told him bluntly, a small frown still on her face.

(*looks at demon* sooooo....He's 2 inches shorter than her xD xD xD)

Haru sighed at the reactions he received. "I know I know, but I was trying to make it on time and also used getting to school as training." He said chuckling a bit. He then though they might not pick up what he was throwing down so he decided to explain a bit further. "I left my house which is currently about 20 minutes away for a normal person while running with only ten minutes left before I had to be here. Then I used the roofs and any route I could to make sure I got here on time." He laughed and wiped away a bit of sweat. "It all worked out in the end right? What could be more cool than that?" He asked as he finished with a smile and glanced at May, Flint and finally his Meister Aviva. It could have been worse. At least he didn't act like his father who he look a lot like. Regardless his star pupils grazed over his friends and acquaintances hoping the blunt and annoyed attitudes would cease now. Why were they so annoyed so early anyway? The day had pretty much just started hadn't it?

(Yeah but he could probably wipe the floor with her and a lot of other in unarmed combat lol XD His strength and skill make up for bein kinda short lol)

Ron laughed as Haru landed then said "Nice landing though it was a bit unnecessary." He stood up then said "Here have a seat and relax."

Ah yes. Early morning Death City, the time when all the meisters and weapons of the DWMA gathered before school hours to socialize with their friends and partners in arms. Speaking of which, there were two students walking on towards the school. A pink haired weapon with an exasperated looking Japanese meister. The latter power walking as fast as he could away from the former, who was busy seemed to be saying something in the most flat, serious sounding voice musterable.

"...Which is why I think that you secretly have some odd, ambiguous behavioral disorder and are moonlighting as a sociopathic serial killer."
"...What."

Aoi Nakatsukasa, the dark haired Japanese meister in question, had just been on the recieving end of a very awkward - yet at some points disturbingly accurate - psychoanalysis by the pink haired weapon following after him. Naturally, the demure young man was flustered like nobody's business. Unfortunately he was passive than aggressive, which meant that he had to stick with his follower for now. Though a quick view of his nearby surroundings gave him a rather decent idea of how to get pinkie over there off his back...

"You heard me, Mr. Nakatsukasa. Socio. Path."
"Ah, that... doesn't make any sense... At all. ...Don't you have anyone else to talk too..."
"Now that we've got that out of the way, let's move on to a different topic. How about..."

On the other hand, there was Ilya, the pink haired weapon with black blood running through his veins. The young weapon had the biggest smirk on her face after having that little 'chat' with his pal Aoi over there on the way to class. To say that she enjoyed further frustrating the young man, though to say it was for just that reason wouldn't exactly be correct. While she did like the fact that he could unnerve Aoi, what she did was a lot like a... bonding time. A period to get to know friends a bit better. That was it. No matter if his methods were a bit... unusual. Really, it was Aoi's fault for not being used to it. Now if only she could lead Aoi somewhere other than the Academy so he could get some juicy secrets instead of being lobbed in a classroom with her meister, Mr. Flint Evans. The guy wasn't any fun to toy with at all!

'Based on their movements... It looks like Ilya's trying to get me away from the school. Which means I have to take a more roundabout route... Greeeaaat.' Aoi thought dryly, making the necessary adjustments to his plan before putting it into action.
***
"Hey guys! Eh, sorry for the late arrival."
"You...! ...Well played, Nakatsukasa. Well played, indeed." Ilya said, socking Aoi in the arm after having conceded defeat to the other student who was busy smiling wryly to himself over off on the other side of the group. Ilya been led around the side to their little group of friends gathered up at front. She didn't enjoy how she had been led into his so-called trap, but he respected Aoi's particular choice of tactic. Subtle, with no room for a 'counterattack'.

"Mornin'," Ilya greeted in her usual monotone voice.

Flint stood up from the bench and thrust his arm out just missing Ilya's head by a few inches. Flints wrist was now in front of Her face. The watch loosely attached to it as it showed the time "11 minutes late!" Flint remarked angrily "We clearly agreed to meet at fifteen minutes to nine right here at this bench. You agreed to this and I repeated it to you a second time just to make sure and what do you do! " Flint moved his arm back to his side "So what is the reason for being late? It better have been important. How can I trust you as a weapon when you cant even keep simple timing!" Flint sighed looking to the young weapon for an answer as he adjusted his watches strap to tighten it.

Kat looked around and saw all their friends, "come on look it's everyone and may is here for her first day! Hurry Ryan!!!!" She said grabbing his hand and pulling him over to their friends. She let go and waved at everyone. "Hey guyss~Nya!" She said waving at everyone and then hugging all the boys tightly just because it was who she was.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
May smirked once her brother gave up, she had won that round and that was definitely cool. "Oh hey Kat" she said cooly. As she watched Kat hug all the guys/ flirting with them she rolled her eyes, defintely just like her mother.' she thought watching everyone. May then looked at her brothers outburst, "Mayyyyyy Chop!" She said bringing her hand down on his head but her hand happened to be the hilt of her weapon form. "Don't act like that bro, not cool at all.

"Gah!" Ryan was taken by surprise when Kat suddenly dragged him over to the others, almost dropping his precious homemade cake in the processes. He felt a jolt of pain in his heart as he watched his meisters hugging all the other boys, but he bit the metaphorical bullet and hid his pain

They're trying to take her away from us! Kill them, kill them all!!!

What!? No, that's just silly.

Why do they need her hugs!? They all have families of their very own. Kat is all we have! Without her, we'd be all alone again!

Well yeah, but that's like saying a meteor crashing down on Death City would kill everyone; just because it's true, doesn't mean it's going to happen.

Shrugging off that bothersome voice in his head, Ryan shyly waved at the others

Ilya put his hand to her chin in thought following Flint's little scolding session, as if not even taking the time to hide the fact he was thinking of an excuse...

"Did you know over 107 people die per minute? If I was 11 minutes late, that means over 1177 people just died. Huh. It's kinda weird when you think about it."

...or doing mental calculations to figure out how many people died during Ilya's lateness. Though that obviously wasn't what Flint was looking for. Thankfully, the 18-year old meister took a chop to the head. Ilya tilted her head to the side to view the watch properly.

"And I am here 15 minutes before 9:00. Actually, 9:00 doesn't arrive for at least 12 hours, according to your watch."

Head upright, Ilya nodded, as if satisfied with the provided answer despite the illogic behind it. "Are you sure you're reading your watch - HRUUM - correctly? Perhaps you should invest in one of those newfangled digital ones," Ilya continued, unfazed by the mid sentence bear hug provided by Kat.

Ron accepted Kat's hug out of courtesy. He waved hi to Ryan and Ilya. He then grabbed May's shoulder saying "I think you made your point now. So let's stay calm." He didn't want her to get in trouble on her first day.

Flint rubbed his own head sympathetically as he looked to Ilya as he described her reason of lateness. The hug from Kat was received without emotion as Flint slowly seemed to break down. "B....but I specifically said 9AM.,... or did .... wait what if I didn't ! I don't think I did. "He looked to his watch as his whole world began to crash down. "Wait is my watch not correct?! I wound it this morning!" He began tapping it with his finger then slumped to his knees close to sobbing "My life is a lie.." Flint remarked sitting in his own dismay. He took pride in his time keeping after all and it seemed Ilya always seemed to be able to wind him up about it in someway.

"No thanks Ron. A little work out like that isn't enough to warrant a rest." Red Star said chuckling a bit as he did a few stretched. "Besid..." He was interrupted when Kat hugged him. It wasn't like hugging was a problem, but due to the height difference his head always ended up in her chest. And when the hug ended he'd end up either gasping for air or with a face that match the "red" in his title. This time it was the latter. He scoffed. "S-so." He said trying to keep cool despite his red face. "We need to get to class right?"

Tabi grinned when she noticed her partner. "Aoi, what took so long man?! I got great news!" she exclaimed, practically jumping up and down in her excitement. She thought Aoi was pretty cool, especially since his father got on her fathers nerves just as much as she did. "i did a great thing today!"

Sakura followed after Kiel with a giant smile on her face, waving to people she knew as they walked and glaring at people that dared to talk about Kiel in the halls. She rambled on to Kiel about things that happened at her home the night before and how her brothers were. Normal things that she would talk about. Sometimes she did wish that he would speak back, but she knew that he wouldn't and to her it wasn't as big of a deal as it would be to other people..

"I, ah, got sidetracked," Aoi explained to Tabi in the most vague way possible, sheepishly rubbing the back of his head. Didn't want to touch that awkward mess he had to deal with that morning. "So what exactly did you do...?" he asked, supporting the subject change.

---

The young depressed meister's weapon lightly nudged him with a foot a few times. Having decided that Flint was okay enough, Ilya moved her attention elsewhere. Like the blue midget who just got suffocated in Kat's boingy bits.

"Mm? Do we need to go to class at all? Knowledge is important, but I don't think we'd die if we didn't have it," Ilya said bluntly, completely missing the point of Red's casual statement, "and your face. It is red. Very red, actually. I wonder if that's how you got your name... Though, I'd say it's more a scarlet shade instead of a red one." He put her hand to his chin again in thought, "though that does bring up why you call Aoi 'Blue'... Must be a problem in his pant- GWAH!"

Ilya was promptly hit in the head with a thrown rock from somewhere.

Flint quickly stood back up "Who threw that!" He said angrily looking behind Ilya, Flint seemed to have gotten better, suddenly distracted by the rock throwing. "Are you ok Ilya?" He asked sympathetically "I don't want you breaking on me then what would I fight with" He said less sympathetically

As he walked with Sakura, Kiel listened to her stories she had to tell him. That's all he ever did. Listen. He never talked to anyone in return. If you were lucky, you would get either a nod or a shake of the head, indicating yes and no, respectively. In the really rare cases, with those he was "close" to, and to questions that was asking for another kind of answer, he would write it on paper without his expression ever straying from its usual void. It never did, and most likely never will, change. Wherever Sakura chose to sit, he would sit right next to her, without any objections. Though, the same cannot be said for those around him. Some made snide remarks to their friends about Kiel, and some others simply moved.

May rolled her eyes at her brother, "Flint... Not cool one bit. Be calm and learn patience." May said glaring slightly at her brothers, her eyes a bit redder than usual. May shook her head and her eyes were back to normal. 'No I can handle you stupid devil in my head, so just give up.' She thought/ said in her brain to the little devil that happened to be the same one that haunted her father.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kat giggled as she walked back over to Ryan.She silently watched everyone not really knowing what to say. Kat just enjoyed being with friends and she was easily amused by them. Her cat hearing then picked something up behind her
"Look it's the stupid cat girl and the evil idiot witch boy. They are probably going to cause a lot of problems for the school."
"I wish we could just beat them up so they will just leave the school." She heard two boys say.
Kat's red eye twitched. Kat turned around and walked around the circle until she caught sight of the boys(and was hidden from her friends). She then glared straight at the boys. They just smirked and laughed slightly. Kat stomped over to them and grabbed their shirt collars pulling them close to her. "Hey listen here assholes, I don't care if you call me a stupid cat girl but if you call my partner an evil idiot witch boy one more time, I swear that you will never want to show your face around me again." She growled her eyes narrowing .
"Sure but he is one. An evil. Idiot. Witch. Boy. So if you want to fight then let's fight bitch." One of them said. Kat gritted her teeth and raised a hand back as her hand and clothing glowed orange. She was now in her normal witch like attire and her hand continued to glow orange. "Soul Protect. Release." She said a slight blast of wind blasted from her. Kat's anger had taken over. "Pum Pum Pum Pumpkin..." She began.

Quickly grabbing his meister's hand to stop her, Ryan said "don't Kat, he's not worth it. If 'evil idiot witch boy' is the worst thing he can think of to call me, then he's not worth either of our time. Hell, I've heard much better insults coming from Witches half his age. Besides, I think he needs the ego boost. He's trying to be a bully, and people only become bullies to make themselves feel better. Maybe his parents don't love him, maybe his partner is thinking about leaving him for someone else, or maybe he's just feeling confused about something; like his sexuality. So please don't hurt him, he's clearly in enough pain already. He deserves our pity, not our hate" He said "but...it makes me feel happy to see you rush to my defense like that" he blushed

Red Star didn't pay much attention to Ilya. He was used to her. And just about everything else. But then the commotion with Kat and Ryan began. He was quick to react to that.

"Yeah. Don't hurt him Kat." Red Star said having over heard the conversation. "It'll only cause more problems for you two anyway." He added as he placed a hand on Ryan's shoulder. Okay yeah he was shorter than the guy and much shorter than the girl, but he decided it best to be there for the girl. And luckily Ryan must have had the connection to know where she was to stop her. Red Star on the other hand had the same heightened senses his father had due to all the training so he was planning to stop her anyway. Aoi had probably felt the release too and might have come. Who knew? "Still I've gotta disagree with you on one thing Ryan. People don't always treat other's badly for those reasons. Sometimes it's about past experiences. Built in hatred due to their own personal, or maybe even their family or clan's history. It can be brutal." He said calmly before turning his attention to the boys.

He was more serious now. His face was even normal. "Now I suggest you leave. I'm helping him calm his partner down, but I'm starting to have a bit of trouble curbing my own anger for the insults you hurled at my friends." Red Star said his expression having gone from a calm one to a serious glare quickly. He hated when people acted like that. Of course, it didn't mean he wasn't used to it. After all... Even if his father had done some pretty amazing things there was still a great deal of hatred for the Star Clan all over the world. Besides, he was kind of protective. He wouldn't have even given a warning had it been about Aviva. Punches would have been thrown without a second thought.
