  The characters have entered and taken their seats in class 'Fables, Fairytales and Fantasy 101: Exploring the classics.' It was the beginning of the new school year and the last class of the day. The professor, T. A. Grimm, was a tall middle aged man of inderterminate years. He had bright eyes behind his wire rim glasses as he peered out at this years students. <- - - - - - - - - "Settle down, Class. Welcome. I am certain many of you have heard some of these stories before. In this class we shall analyze them and try to find the messages and wisdoms they are trying to impart to us upon reading them today. Many of you are probably amused that a person with the last name of 'Grimm' is teaching this class. That aside I think we should begin with one of the stories from the collections by the brothers Grimm..."The professors rich and comfortable voice continues across the pleasantly warm classroom in the afternoon creating a relaxing atmosphere... - - - - - - - - - - > Ekichi Finley yawned. “This class is definitely going to be boring,” he muttered. He wanted the class to end quickly so he could go to his club activities. Ekichi was quite the athlete but not a very good student. He had taken this class because it had seemed like it would be easy. “Sitting around and talking about stories that everyone already knows should be an easy grade, but it is going to be hard to pretend to pay attention…”

Kaguya Inoue Kaguya was hearing what the professor said obediently, she always attracted with fairytales, fables, myths and something similar with that ever since she was a toddler. Her father always tell her fairytale when she was going to sleep and even if her father was lost in her 13 birthday, her love for fairytales and myths still in her heart. She always had feelings that the fairytale is the connection between her and her father, and still believe she will meet him again someday, someway. Since the day her father lost, she who didn't like books and always think that books are exist just to make people bored, try to read more books. She also signed to this class not only because she love it, but also because she thought this will make her closer to her father. After heard the professor's story for a while, she suddenly felt really sleepy. She got enought sleep last night so there's no way she feel this kind of sleepy at the very early morning. She blinked several times to fight the sleepiness and tried to pay more attention to the professor. After a while fighting with it, her body go lump and her eyes closed tightly, entering a entirely different world with the world she usually live.

The warm and cozy atosphere in the class room creates a feeling of sleepiness as the professors speaks.
"Our first story is one about two young and lost individuals who must try to make their way home and overcome perils together."
'Once upon a time...'

Something tickled Ekichi nose. He twitched and rubbed at his eyes. It felt cooler and he no longer heard the teacher’s voice. ‘Whoops. I suppose I slept through the class. Brushing at his face as he opened his eyes he finds long white strands of something soft. ‘What is this?’ He blinks his eyes. ‘Is this hair?’ His shoulder feels warm and he sees a young lady leaning against him. He is surprised and about to say something to her but then something surprises him even more into speechlessness. The two of them are sitting under a tree… in the middle of a forest… on a bed of leaves…There is no classroom, no teacher, no other students, desks, furniture, books, blackboard, school, buildings, etc. “Where…are we?” He asks himself in wonder.

Kaguya Inoue Kaguya Kaguya awoke whenshe felt something or someone she leaned of was moving. Seems like I fall asleep before. What's move? Could a chair move?[ She rubbed her eyes, sat down straighly and opened her eyes. What she saw with her eyes make her widened her eyes. "What ............ W-Where are we? Are we in the middle of forest? Is this a new joke or ......?" She was looking around closely then rubbing her eyes, as if after she do it, she would come back to her world, awake in the middle of the class, with his angry professor in front of her. When she opened her eyes, she was looking at a blue haired guy. She remember saw him in the same class with her but didn't really know who is he and never really talk to him. [color"Uhmmm... Do you know what happened with us and where the others are?" She touched his clothes which different with what she wear this morning, frowned. She didn't remember change her clothes nor remember has that kind of clothes.

Ekichi Finley Ekichi looked at the girl. He remembered seeing her around at school but they had spent little time together. She had been a 'good student' while Ekichi, while somewhat popular, had a reputation for being a punk. They hadn't, formally or informally, met before now. Hearing her question he clears his throat before answering. "Sorry, I was going to ask you that question. I thought maybe someone was playing a trick or joke on us while we slept, but..." He spreads his arms out indicating the ancient forest with its huge trees that block out the sky. "...but I know the local area pretty well and there isn't any place like this near the school."He sees her looking at her clothes and thinks, 'That's a pretty dress. She looks cute,' he blushes and shakes his head, ' but I am surprised that she wears something like that to school-' He stops ad looks down at himself and is surprised again! "Hey! Who took my clothes?!" He starts to get irritated but stops as he looks at them. " Wait a moment... These are my clothes!? This leather cloak feels similar to my jacket and this spot here... it's been repaired, just like my jacket got torn in that fight with those punks after the match last week! What is happening?"Realizing they are alone and that they don't even know each other’s names yet he shakes his head. 'What am I supposed to do in a situation like this? She's probably scared and confused. I'm no good at this kind of stuff. Well, we are stuck together now...' He holds one of his hands out to help her up and rubs at the back of his neck below his ponytail with the other hand, embarrassed. "Well we should work together to figure out where we are, who did this to us and how we get back." He gives her a small smile. "By the way the name is, Finley. Finley Ekichi. Don't worry. I'll get us out of here..." he says then mutters darkly "... and when I get my hands on whomever it is that's messing with us...!" He slams his fist against a tree in frustration.

Kaguya Inoue Kaguya was examining her weird clothes, thinking about the seem familiar clothes. It's not the kind of clothes who will be weared by these days's teenageers but she felt like she saw the clothes somewhere. She wear a short dress which the skirt is a bit exceeded her knee, wear a leather soft boots and some parts of her clothes is lacily. After examined her clothes, she then saw a small bag at her left side. She turned her head to the guy when heard his voice. "Eh?!? This is not even a local area? Sorry, I just come to this town last year, I don't know much about the place." She was paying attention again at her bag. She opened it and saw a few things inside. She took the things and found pieces of bread, water, and few things which she confused what is that or for what the things for. She blinked when the guy said something about his clothes and said, "Speaking of the clothes, I also didn't remember change my clothes with this nor remember have this kind of weird clothes." She was looking at him when saw his hand hanging in front of her, know he want to help her standing. "Uhmm... Thank you!" Her cheekc blushed slightly but she reached his hand and stood up. She smiled before say her name cheerfully. "Hello, Finley! I'm Kaguya Inoue. I more like to be called as Kaguya, so please call me that. Nice to meet you!" She flinched and step back a bit when Eikichi slam the tree. "A-Are you okay?" She was looking at him carefully, not sure what should she do. "Uhmm, what should we do now? Should we search a way to back?"

Ekichi Finley He helped her stand with a steady and gentle hand, a soft smile on his face.
“You are welcome. And you can call me Ekichi if you like, Kaguya. I rarely use my surname if I don’t have too.”
Ekichi shrugged. “Well I haven’t lived here long either. But the club and my parents take me to quite a few places… and sometimes I want to get away from everything for a while so… yeah...”He clears hs throat obviously uncomfortable with the subject of conversation..
He watches her check her bag and come up with several items. “Well at least we have some food.” He checks his bag and finds little inside. A small knife and two thin blankets. There are also two candles. He shows the items to Kaguya. “This is all I have in mine.”
Ekichi sighed when he see her flinch. ‘That was a dumb thing for you to do, Ekichi. Now she is even more scared! Keep calm until you get out of here and find the people that did this.’ He smiled grimly at the thought of what he would do to get even with those who had tricked them.
He tried to smile more gently at Kaguya and nodded his head. “Yes, we need to start looking for a way out of this forest. I do not think we want to try to stay the night here. Do you know have any suggestions as to which way we should travel?”

Kaguya Inoue Kaguya was looking at Ekichi when he checked his bagand found knife, blankets and candles. Blankets moreover candles made her think about night and terrified her. "Should we be in here until night or maybe even tomorrow?" She remember always went camping with her family at her birtdaybut never went to camp again after her father lost. Her mother never allow her to camp again moreover her father was lost in a forest at the night the last time they went camp. Even if it already years after, she still feel uncomfortable with forest at the night. Now she was trapped in the middle of unknown forest in weird clothes with someone she just know. She looked around again, searching for something familiar. She sighed when didn't find any and looked at the guy near to her. She stepped back again when she saw a rather malicious smile at his face. She didn't dislike the guy but sometimes he made her uncomfortable. She blinked when he smiled rather genntly to her and nodded. "Uhmm... Well, how about follow that path?" She point her hand at a single path in her left side. "I think it's better than that diverged path?" Then she pointed her hand at a path which ended up become a three smaller path. She ended up her last sentence in half question voice since she was unsure with her choice. "I think it will be more difficult to choose one among three, and maybe we could meet a village since that path are a bit wider than that three paths?"

Ekichi Finley "Well hopefully we shall be out of here before night comes but I don't know."
He put the things he had away and sees the path she pointed out leading away into the woods.
"That sounds like good thinking to me. Well let’s go while we still have daylight."
He starts down the left path with Kaguya. The trees where ancient and huge. Dark and twisted looking things that loomed over them and their branches blocked out much of the sky. The path was hard to follow.
Seeing Kaguya looking nervous he cleared his throat and held out his hand to her to hold if she wanted. He turned his face to try to hide his blush. "We should be careful to not get separated or lost out here."

Kaguya Inoue Kaguya was walking carefully, following Ekichi slightly behind him. She was looking around, hoping to see someone or at least any sign to help them. Every slight voice she can hear would made her turned her head to the source of the voice. But she must eat up her own hope many times when saw it’s just squirrel, a swarm of deer or wind which blew too hard and make a branch fell. The trees also seem unfamiliar and …. old. It seems like the trees already in there before her grandparent’s parents born, maybe even very longer than that? The path also not as easy as she thought it would be. Sometimes she must jump on a big tree which fell across, bend her head to avoid knocking few low thorny branches. When she saw Ekichi held out his hand, she tilted her head in asking manner. “Oh, okay… Lost will be the last thing I hope happen to me.” She reach his hand and held it. After walk for about three or four hours, her walk speed become slower, sometimes she would even stumbled, but she didn’t say anything to Ekichi except sorry.

Ekichi Finley Ekichi feels her trip and stumble. “This is hard for her…” He slows his pace and tries to keep her steady. He walks ahead and tests the ground with his own feet and holds back branches so they do not scratch Kaguya. Still he even has to admit that the going is getting rougher and tougher.
“I can barely make out the path anymore. Perhaps we should stop here for a moment and rest… maybe eat and drink something?”
He walks over to a fallen log and takes off his cloak from his shoulders and spreads it out to make a seat for Kaguya, but he tries not to make a big deal out of it. While she sits and prepares their snack he looks around for a little bit.
“I haven’t seen or heard any creatures except for those big black birds up there. What do you suppose they are?

Kaguya Inoue Kaguya smiled when Ekichi slowed his speed, it helps her a lot. She was looking at him, worried, when he said he can't make out the path. She nodded when he said they should rest or eat. She saw him takes off his cloak and spread it out for her. "You don't have to do that for me. I could sit everywhere as long as it's safe and not wet." She took again his cloak and handed it to the owner. After sat, she opened her bag. She took some pieces of bread and handed it to Ekichi. She was looking around then stared at the things Ekichi pointed. "I saw squirrels before, but yes, I didn't hear or saw anything except that. Uhmmm.... I don't know. I can't see it clearly from here."
After ate and drank, she stood up. She was walking until she couldn't walk anymore due to brushes, attempting to be near to he creature which now flew circularly far on her left side. "I never see that kind of bird before." She gasped when saw the bird had teeth in it's beak. She was staring at the bird and said her thought to Ekichi who's behind her. "It's me who see it wrongly? I think the birds have something like small sharp teeth in their mouth. Should we checked it out?"
