Episode 1: Day II, The Arrival Post By: Fukumitsu Aritomo It was the second day of school, Aritomo and Junpuu Kaze had hit it off the first day, meeting each other after the introduction ceremony was completed. Ari had come to school early again, hoping to meet up with Junpei and to watch the Kendo club practice again, he was hoping to see Junpei there as well. He had left early like always and stopped to peer inside 24-Nana's before continuing on his way to school, but he didn't have much money left over from his allowance his mother and father sent him each week. Due to the fact that the first day was only a partial day of school, he and Okita had met up later in the and they both went and got something to eat at McDonnies. Aritomo had forgotten all about his interest in the shack he had seen, and the path he saw the other day as well. He had been so excited to learn that Okita was going to this school as well. The two had gone to the same school for a couple of their early years in grade school, and the two became close friends after Okita had stuck up for Aritomo against one of the school bullies. Since then, Okita, or Akito, as Aritomo had called him always stuck his neck out to help Aritomo. It was almost time for classes to start (only about seven minutes to eight o'clock) and Tozaemon hadn't returned. While the rest of the students who were a part of the club from last year stood about, some practiced, but Aritomo jumped down out of the seating and began to wander off to class. He intended on finding Kaze-chan later in the day and asking him if he wanted to explore the school grounds, specifically if he was interested in checking out that shack in the back of the school. Aritomo wasn't worried about himself being late, but he was worried about Okita being that way. Aritomo had a lot of plans for the day, one of which was to start his investigation into the occurences happening in Urawa and to learn more about the Tokyo train accident. While on his way from the Lower Gym, he was lost in thought, and not paying attention to where he was going. He didn't notice as Jun Jones walked into the school just before him, nor did he notices the large groups of people he passed that were still just milling about, waiting for the last few minutes before homeroom to fade away before they went into their classes. As he walked toward his homeroom, Aritomo heard incessant laughter coming down the hall toward him. "Oi... its that wierd teacher? The 'mad scientist' looking one." Aritomo heard a student say as he peeked his head out one of the doors. "Kowai." Another student replied from just inside the door. "Oi! First year!" The first student called to Aritomo, looking confused, Ari pointed at himself. "Good luck! You have to go down that hall way to get to your homeroom right? Hope you're not scared!" Aritomo shook his head and was about to ask something of the student when he was recalled into the room and the door shut. Grabbing his bag and running down the hall, looking for the source of the laughter, he saw a man with wild hair and black pupils wearing a... cape? "Ano..." The laughing kept on, and Aritomo approached tugging on the mans cape. "Ano... why are you laughing so much?" __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

His ecstasy could not be contained. From the bottom of his black heart came the laughter. It swept over him, blinding him to all around. This sensation was the closest thing to happiness that Hades' had ever known. "Ano..." Then a tug on his cape. "Ano... why are you laughing so much?" Hades and his laughter stopped dead in their tracks. Slowly he turned his head to see what he had caught himself on. Behind him, holding onto the tail of his cape, stood some boy. Rage swept over him. Who was this miniature human who dared pull at the cape of the almighty Dr. Hades? His cape! Hades' hand clutched around the top of his metal cane. The urge to bash the young boys' skull in, spill his gray matter on the floor, and then dance on it shouting "My brain is bigger than yours!" flashed into his mind. But it wouldn't be a good idea to slaughter someone (well, a child anyway) on his first day at work. He needed this cover. Too many times had his schemes been thwarted, and most of those by petulant children. He would have to handle this situation carefully. Hades turned to face the boy, yanking his cape out of his hand, and asked him the first thing he could think of that didn't involve questioning the boys' parental lineage. "Tell me child, where is the Y-Kumi homeroom?" __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
