James sighed softly, he'd not meant to sadden her with his tale, but he'd lost himself once again in those painful memories he'd lived. He shook his head and said "It is alright..Thank you, however." softly. He listened to her speak of her fighting skills and examined the mace she pointed out. He nodded slightly, giving the weapon a little bit more staring before turning to her and hearing her question. "Ah...I really only use Fafenir, but I can use my hands and feet if need be." he said, shrugging slightly. Honestly, it looked like his legs might snap off if he hit anything harder then cardboard with them, but who knew.

Ali laughed.
"I can use my feet and hands too. It was the only way I could defend myself from Alex before I made my mace," she said, nodding her head. She sighed, looking around the courtyard.
"So, how long have you been at Ria?" she asked.

"Oh..I'd say about five or six hours. Two of those, however, were spent convincing the people at the gate I was not infact a vampire out to murder the people here. Actually, it was only after a wide variety of spells, crossed and even the suggestion of staking me that I was let through." he said with a soft laugh. Indeed, he did look quite like what one would expect a vampire to look like. He sighed slightly and stretched, pulling Fafenir off the ground as he did. He shook his head afterward, letting his arms dangle at his sides. "So where exactly is this sister of yours?"

She fornwed slightly.
"You know, you being a vampire never crossed my mind," she said. She then frowned more and looked up and down the courtyard.
"I have no idea where she is. She was supposed to meet me at the gates this morning, but I was left there standing for about two hours when I decided to in myself. I should have expected that though," she said, rolling her eyes.

"I get that a lot, normally." he said, chuckling. He listened to her speak of being 'stood up' by her sister, and grinned. "Well, if it helps..Lesse.." he looked thoughtful for a moment, staring up into the sky a bit. "Hmm..Well, the Cafeteria is a place to check..There is some Hotsprings...I've heard of a bar near campus where students go on occassion." he said. For a person who just arrived, he seemed to have adjusted quite well. "Personally, I'd check the Bar. Judging by how she sounds, you're likely to find her there quite drunk." he said, shaking his head. "I could go along, if you like. I'm not a violent man, but I could drag her out by her ear if you'd like." he said with a long chuckle.

Ali thought about it.
"To be honest, I'm not sure if my sister would ever go to a bar. Plus, do you think they would serve alcohol to an underaged student?" she asked, smiling. She sighed.
"I don't think she would be in the cafeteria... Hot Springs well... nah..." she said, shaking her head. Suddenly she then shook her head.
"Well she might actually be at the bar. To pick a fight of course. There's no other reason she would be there,"
She stood, smiling up at him. Man she suddenly felt short at 5'7"... "Sure, you can come along, if you like,"

James chuckled slightly and quickly slid Fafenir into it's correct place on his belt and pulled his cloak over his front, obscuring all but the handle of the blade from veiw. "Certainly. It's over..." he looked for a moment, and blinked "That way." he said suddenly, lifting his hand from his cloak and poiting off to a small gate in the middle of a bunch of trees which led down a path.

Oliver was scared to death, he heard his name being chanted or spelled out, it was almost like he is a heratic and there was people hunting him to be thrown into jail. But this was the opposite and even worse. These crazy fangirls wanted to go to the dance with him! He barely knows them and they creep him out sincerely. He came to a deadlock in the deep courtyard, he leaned his back on a tree and sad his arms spread out like he was being tied onto the tree. His eyes wide in fear as his body shook out of control. How can being asked out to the dance bring such massive riot? He doesn't know but he wished he was with Makie. He wasn't thinking clearly when he left her in the tree, she must be confused and hurt and its all his fault.
"Oliver Oli-Oliver"
"Oli to the ver"
He heard chants simular and like those as they ran through his head, almost giving him a headache or fainting in the middle of this. His black cat hat was trampled back the tree and his laced collared shirt that had some ripped holes from falling halfway down the tree and running through the courtyard just to avoid the fangirls, which he was failing. The fangirls crept closer and closer with there hands straight out like walking zombies, or obsessed monsters. Thats when a flash of lavender came in front of his eyes.
Sister..? he immediatly thought, she looked exactly like Sakura Ai. Long flowing silky lavender hair, lively enchanting lavender eyes, a small yet slender body and the skin fragile. But, Oliver knew it wasn't Sakura Ai. His sister is at the hospital and can't get out until a few days before the Holloween dance. He had a puzzled look on his face as he mentally had a battle wither its his sister or not.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I was being chased by a demon, I didn't mean to cause you any harm."
And then his hand was taken by this mysterious girl, he was being taken away from these rampid fangirls, hoping this will be his last day being chased by them, but he knew it wasn't. Some habbits will never be broken. He could see the courtyard flashing through his eyes, then he closed his ocean-like eyes tightly and opened them again.
Stop!
He let go of his hand from the mysterious girl and stood there. Not knowing to run off again or stick around to see what she was up to. Was she another fangirl just trying to get Oliver all alone with her or was she someone he can trust. Now a days, Oliver tries to stay away from females unless they were his sisters, Makie, or other people he met when he first came here.
He looked at the girl, his body shaking like before, he took a few paces back but then stopped. Standing there still as a twig, his ocean-like eyes open wide as ever. He looked over his shoulder, and a relief sigh escaped his lips. It seems that they lost the riot of Oliver's fangirls, but he wasn't soo calm yet. Who was this girl who looks as if she is a twin of Sakura Ai's? Swiftly he opened his mouth, asking her the exact same question.
"Umm, who are you?" he asked with curiousity and fear. Almost as if he didn't want to know who she is and run off like he did early and left Makie all alone back there. He felt shame and when he meets back up to her, he's going to apologize.

The girl ran and ran as fast as she could, trying to get both her and Oliver away from the fangirls. Her long lavender hair flowed through the wind as she ran. As she was doing this, the girl began to think up of a reason for why she grabbed his hand. Eventually she came up with a huge plot to get Oliver.
Yes, she was a fangirl. Except this girl was smarter and had big plans for Oliver. Inside she was smirking evily as she felt succesful. She no longer heard echoed footsteps and thousands of screaming girls, she was finally alone with her 'target'. Her prey. Soon, she felt Oliver let go of her hands, she wondered why.
As her idol stood infront of her, she put her hands in front of her, calsping them together. Her long midnight skirt flowed with her lavender hair, her soft purple eyes just stared innocently. She was also wearing a long white blouse, with claw marks on the back. Her long skirt was tattered and she had a few cuts on her face. The girl looked like she was definitely chased by a demon.
"I'm Bara Akihana, sir." The girl said politely with a bow. "And whom might you be?" Her voice was almost as innocent and fragile's as Makie's. The only difference was that the brunette's voice was much smaller and had much more sweetness and pureness in it. Bara bowed again, this time in apology.
"I did not mean to take your hand like that. You seemed in peril and I wished to help." She exclaimed letting her small fragile hands fall down to her sides. You might think she belonged to some fancy, rich family because of how she acted. The classic 'I was chased by a demon', a beautiful appearance, perfect posture and all those manners. It must have took Bara a long time to prefect that king of look.
A soft, small genuine smile of apology had just walked onto Bara's face. You could see her perfect white teeth hidden by her small pretty pink lips. The Sakura-look-a-like seemed so perfect in every way, but she had flaws too. Oliver had a lot of sense to say that. It was true, but not a lot of people admit they have flaws. Bara certainly disliked the fact she had flaws, and tries to cover it up. But sometimes, even her flaws can show under a 'perfect' cover.
Nobody is perfect.
A wise quote that her mother once said. Bara hated her mother, and wished she could kill her. But, the Sakura-look-a-like could never bring herself to do it. Why couldn't she do it? It was because Bara's mother was already dead, but her spirit still haunts her. She believes it's haunting her because her hate for her was so strong and her memories of her still intact, that it's keeping her mother here.
"If you wish, I shall take you back."
But when were her words ever true? Bara has told a lie everytime she talked. Her name wasn't Bara Akihana, and she normally didn't look like this. She wasn't chased by a demon and she certainly did not take his hand by an accident. Everything was planned, and planned well.[ Bara means 'Rose' in Japanese. I liked the name and since Sakura is also a name of a flower in Japanese, I felt Bara was good for her look-a-like. ]

"Well... um... I just don't really know you all the well at the moment, and you seem like an intersting person... an' uh.." she paused, fumbling with herself. "And Kurai.. I just don't know what to do about that. I mean... I wouldn't want to get myself into a situation when he's already going with someone..." Keila thought sadly aloud. " I mean, it had been hard enough to ask you, you know?" she blushed a little bit and tried to shake the moment from her thoughts. Original. Yes. Wierd, but original. "And also... I've never been to the ocean!" she lit up from her shy mood and became very happy once more. "I mean, is there one around here?! A trip to the ocean would be equivalent to living in space.. I mean... there's-!!......." once again, she couldn't talk right. But for a different reason. Keila began jumping up and down, her haircut and bow along with it. "YOU MEAN YOU CAN TAKE ME TO THE OCEAN!?"

James slowly entered the courtyard, his regal outfit swirling aroudn him quite nicely. He was carrying his sword upright in his hand, almost like some sort of walking staff. It was sheated, and the wood glinted brightly in the lights. His outfit stopped swirling slowly, as he turned to face the two with him. He chuckled softly, observing the two. They looked almost the same, yet there were almost one hundred percent different. Fire and Ice, Wind and Water. He shook his head and allowed them to walk past him as he turned to the side.

Alexis and Ali had begun arguing halfway to the courtyard.
"So then this is...?"
"Courtyard 3 you idoit! It says so RIGHT THERE!" Alexis shouted, pointing on the map Ali had brought back out. She snatched up the map and ripped it in half.
Ali gasped and narrowed her eyes. "What did you do that for!"
"It wasa useless map! Geesh, you're so stupid!"
"I am not stupid!"
"And ugly too!"
Ali rolled her eyes. "If I'm ugly, then you're ugly too. We're identical, you moron,"
"Nu-uh! Your hair is purple!"
"Well, if it were green, then we would be identical,"
"Life would be so much better that way. Then I could blame everything on you,"
Ali rolled her eyes and walked ahead of her sister.
Alexis stuck her tongue out at her.

James stared on in wonder as the two argued, blinking only once Ali had stepped infront of her sister. He shook his head in amazement and wonder, then shrugged and stepped inbetween Ali and Alexis, trying to stop them from jumping one another. He followed Ali across the courtyard, stopping near a bench. He sighed helplessly, not really knowing what to do with the two.

Ali sat down on a bench and began fiddling with the long chain on her mace. She sighed.
Alexis on the other hand, sat down at the bottom of a tree, not too far off from Ali. She leaned back, her head resting against the bark of the tree, as she looked around the courtyard.

James sighed softly as he stood between the two. He shook his head, ignoring the urge to make them try to talk to one another. He had little buisness being here in the first place, Ali had simply asked for his help in finding her sister, not dragging her from the Dorms or anything else he'd done up to this point. He shrugged slightly, and opted to lean against his sword a bit more.
But he felt the urge to stay, compelled to observe the two a bit more. He felt oddly attached to them, even though he barely knew them more then a few hours. He chuckled softly, and mumbled "Maybe I'm just too clingy.." under his breath, a smirk breaking across his features.
