[First Day]

[Emiko Mishima]

It was the first day of school at the DWMA. The purple haired female walked up the stairs to the front door of the academy. She took a quick glance around and noticed that she was the only one around. She tilted her head slightly and let out a soft sigh. Was this going to be a slow school year? Was it because she was there...? She brushed a loose strand of hair behind her ear and took a seat on the steps, putting down the bag she carried with a few books and notebooks for her to take notes. She pulled a pair of leather gloves from the side of her belt and slid them onto her hands.
"Seriously...It's the first day of school and I'm the only one here....? I suppose I am a little early but still....And now I'm talking to myself...."

She raised her hand up and pulled the sunglasses down that rested on her head. The sun was shining too brightly for her and she didn't like bright lights much...She pulled her legs in close and hugged her knees close to her. She figured that since it was so early, the doors would be locked...She never tried but she was pretty sure. She closed her eyes as she sit curled up on the steps leading to the main entrance.
"Wonder how long I'll have to sit here..."

Mel sighed as she walked towards the academy. She was the first of her family to recieve schooling like this, and she really hoped that she'd take to it well. As was expected, she was extremely nervous about her first day. How long would it take for her to find a partner? Would she even find someone compatable. She sighed. "I really have to stop worrying about all of this." She thought to herself as she made her way to the front steps. "I'll find a partner here."

There was already one person sitting on the steps, most likely waiting for the doors to be unlocked. This other girl was of course much taller than Mel, but then again, so was everyone. She was already afraid of people making fun of her height like they did back home. Well, if they did, she could easily beat any one of them, most likely. But then again, these were other weapons, and probably much tougher than any of the kids back home.

She sat down near, and a step above, the other girl waiting. "So..." she said, trying to strike up a conversation. "Are you new here too?"

Momiji looked up at the DWMA, and sighed.

"This place is a drag." he said quietly. Momiji hated everything, Mainly because Everything has a bad side to it, and whats the point liking somthing if it turns out to be bad. Momiji stepped up to the door and noticed two girl talking to each other. They seemed nice, but there was probably something bad about them too.

"Hey am I early or what?" He asked bluntly. He honestly didn't care, but he just didn't feel like being left out of a conversation. One of his pet Peves

The doors finally opened and the three walked in. Moments passed and more and more students began to fill the halls, meeting up with old friends and making new ones. The two females, Mel and Emiko raced down the halls with their new auaintence close behind.
After the race, Emiko gave Momiji a lesson on trusting others and the benefits that could come from it. Their talk was cut short when the new teacher, Ms. Quinn entered. The three of them ran off to the class, barely making it in time. After roll was taken, class got quiet for a while. Class ended after Ms. Quinn's final announcement.
Finding a partner within a week.
Before leaving class, Momiji had trusted Emiko a bit more and decided to test if their soul wavelengths were compadible. Turned out they were.
Assignment completed...
But in the mean time, there's a strange looking dog walking around the DWMA and made it's way into the kitchen. No one knows where this animal came from or how it got in but it seemed a little suspicious.

Momiji was atleast happy he had a partner. He decided to go wonder around the school and ditch some boring class about the theory of witches and decided to see if he could sneak a snack from the the kitchen. Emiko didn't seem to notice that he slipped away while everyone was congratulating her on finding her weapon so fast. Momiji hated big crowds and strangers so he quietly slipped away and let Emiko have her time in the spot light. He then noticed a strange dog walking threw the hall ways.

"How the hell did a dog get in here?" he asked himself.

[Momma Shakespeare]

The dog's hearing was of course much better than any human's, and she heard the muttering of the boy that had just walked in. She padded over to the lad, looking up at him with a hopeful look that won over most humans. She wasn't so sure about this one, though. He looked kind of grumpy. Hopefully he didn't mind her following him until she could find someone better.

And hopefully that would be soon. This guy gave off some pretty wierd vibes.

[Emiko Mishima]

Emiko frowned a bit as the students started crowding around her to congratulate her on finding a partner so early. She hated huge crowds as well...Almost as much as witches. She sighs a bit and slowly slips past the crowd. She noticed Momiji left and glanced around to try and find him. She walked out of the class room and walked down the hall to try and find where he went. "Momiji...where did you go....? I don't like huge crowds either and he just left me alone in there..."
Her mind kept wandering back to the dog from earlier. Maybe she was going crazy or maybe it was actually near by? She continued walking, hoping to find at least something to do.

[Momma Shakespeare]

Mel sighed, following along behind Emi. She had nowhere better to go at the moment, so following the only person who had been friendly to her seemed to be the most logical option. She seemed preoccupied with her own thoughts, though, so she decided not to bother her too much. Just following along quietly would do well enough for her. She wasn't even sure where they were going. She just knew that they were looking for Momiji. They'd find him eventually. She knew that.

[buuthepowerfull]

Momiji Starred at the dog for a while, and then shrugged. He never really liked dogs so he didn't really care how it got in here. But it still fallowed him, and now it was getting on his nerves. He hated being fallowed by something he didn't like.

"Alright mut." Momiji growled. "Stop fallowing me right now." he said withe a stern face and wagging his figure at her. "Jeez i wish Emiko was here. at least I can tolerate her fallowing me around.

[Emiko Mishima]

Emi glanced over her shoulder and saw Mel. She smiled and waited for her to catch up to her, walking beside her before walking again. When she spots Momiji and a strange dog, she walks up beside him and places a hand on his shoulder to let him know she's there.
"Hey, Momiji...you left me in there alone you know...To come play with a dog?"
She scratches the back of her head lightly.
"I came after you because I was worried you would get lost or something."
She looks at the dog and tilts her head slightly. Why is there a dog in the academy at all....? She thought to herself.

[Momma Shakespeare]

"Aww... what a cute doggy!" Mel knelt down, and the dog walked toward her slowly. Once the dog was in petting distance, Mel cautiously put a hand on the dog's head, stroking her long brown fur. "You're a sweetheart!" Mel smiled as the dog rolled over and she scratched her belly. "And I was looking for somebody to keep me company. I thought I would have to go it alone for a while."

The dog looked up at the little girl who had taken her so kindly. This was much too perfect. She now had an in to the DWMA, and a free meal if she was lucky enough. She rolled onto her feet, looking at the girl. What a chump. But if she wanted to get along, she would have to play the part of cute little puppy until the time was right. And hopefully nobody would spot her right away.

Quinn sighed. This kid, Momiji, was going to be giving her trouble from the looks of it. She could probably handle the student herself...

Just have to stay on my toes, that's all, she thought, sipping some of her coffee. Although, what about the other one, Mel. As soon as she had assigned the assignment she could feel Mel's soul sadden, maybe even get depressed.

She sighed, her grin appearing again on her face. I'm sure she'll find someone. If not, I'll assign her a partner, she thought. That could prove to be interesting. However, now was not the time to be thinking of that. For now, she had to get ready for another class. She hoped the next class would be more fun.

Looking though her schedule, she saw that it was Meister Studies.

[Emiko Mishima]

She glanced at the dog and let out a soft sigh.
"Hey dog, you're cute and all but I don't think you're allowed here..." She glanced at Mel who was already petting the dog then to Momiji who seemed hostile towards it. She shrugs.
"Honestly, I wouldn't get so attached to a random dog that I don't know. And the fact that this dog is at our school is a little suspicious as well. I think we should at least help it find it's way back outside... Or...I'll ask Miss. Quinn about it?"
She pushed some of her hair behind her ear and over her shoulder. The long hair was starting to get annoying to her but she didn't know what to do with it. But that's not something she should be concerned about right now...

[Momma Shakespeare]

"You're right... dogs aren't supposed to be on the grounds, most likely." She looked down at the dog. "It looks like you're going to need some place to go until we can figure out what exactly we should do with you." She put a hand on her chin, thinking of what to do. Then she snapped. "I'll take her to my place until we get out of school. If we all end up being in the same class again, could you cover me? My place is a little far away from here."

The dog's ears went down. This really put a wrench in her plans. If she was discovered too quickly, she wouldn't be able to get anything done! Well, if the inevitable happened, she would do what she always did- run. Find another way. It wasn't that hard. These DWMA kids were always so slow compared to her. So easy to outrun. All it took were a few leaps and flips to confuse them.

[sydcymbaline]

Quinn was about to walk into her second class for the day when she noticed that three of her students that she had in the class before had been huddled together. There was a weird vibe coming from that area, too.

Placing her belongings in the classroom, she headed over to her students. As she walked over to them, her hands started to shake. What was this unbearable feeling she had. It almost made her sick to her stomach. She bit her lip, trying to get a hold of herself again. Her usual grin plastered over her mouth.

[Emiko Mishima]

Emi smiled and nodded towards Mel. She didn't entirely trust this dog around the DWMA yet and had a weird feeling just being near it. Something she had not felt before. Maybe it was just her nerves from it being the first day of school? Who knows...? "Alright. That will work. Of course I'll cover ya! But careful... I just hope that dog doesn't tear apart your place...That would be bad..."
She glanced over her shoulder slightly and noticed their teacher. She seemed a bit off and the shaking was also something she noticed. She frowned a bit and turned to face her. "Hey, Miss. Quinn, are you alright?"

[sydcymbaline]

Quinn looked from the students to the dog that was sitting before her. It looked like it had been on the streets a while, with its unkempt fur. However, this is where she had been feeling that strangeness, she was sure of it.

"I am fine," she grinned. Something was off, but what. What was different. Was it the dog?

She tried to compose herself by placing her hands in her pockets. It was the closest thing she could do that could stop her hands from shaking. Even though they were still shaking, they were barely noticeable to the people passing by. "That dog... where did you find it?"

[Emiko Mishima]

"Well I noticed the dog outside the doors after we came in. I don't know if anyone else did. Now it ended up inside. Momiji found it first but I don't have any clue how it got inside..." She looked back down at the dog. "I'm getting a weird feeling from this dog, though. I don't get it." She paused. "Maybe it's a witch in disguise with Soul Protect on" She said jokingly, chuckling a bit. She didn't think it was very likely for a witch to come into the academy alone, especially on the first day when every one was vulnerable.
