"Aa kokoro sae itsuwatte ikiruno ka, hito wa sadame ni ayatsuwa a u dake."{1}
"Um… can I sit here?"
"Whatever," she replied without looking up.
She continued to stare out the window, the sunlight reflecting off a ring on her left hand. Since boarding the train an hour ago she'd done nothing but watch the English countryside fly by. She was an odd-looking girl, blue-black hair tied in a tight braid, plastic pants, black tank top, a bondage collar, combat boots and a black trench coat by her side. The strangest part about her was the night black eyes, brightened only by the silver lines down the center.
The boy across from her could have easily been mistaken for an American, had it not been for his accent. Mahogany brown hair reached his nose, setting off mid-night blue eyes. He was wearing a gray school uniform, eyes following the lines shooting across his laptop screen. He groaned as the screen began flickering.
"That won't work for long."
"Huh?" he inquired.
"Electrical appliances don't work near or at the school."
"Nani? K'so!"(2)
"I can keep you connected but you have to come over here or it won't work. I don't bite."
"How can you keep me on-line?"
She sighed and flipped her cd player over before opening the battery pack. The boy's eyes widened to find no batteries despite the fact that he heard the song playing loudly.
"Kakoii…."[3]
"Ne?" [4] She agreed looking up.
"Chibi shounen?"[5]
"Onee-chan…."[6]
"Kami-sama!"
The girl stood up and quickly spanned the small distance between them, throwing her arms around the boy. She was only slightly smaller than him. She withdrew, grinning broadly.
"Aiya! This is great! It's been awhile."
"I thought…"
"A fire? Kill me? C'mon Nags, if I faced a fire I could just put it out. I figured you'd discover the fraud first."
Nagi smiled slightly at the praise, glad to see the girl alive.
"Ano…who else is here?"
"Crawford is an instructor, Farfarello's a student and so's Schuldig…"
"Uncle Schu's a student?"
"Ja. Stupid people won't open a separate class for telepathy or sharp shooting. Schist!" the German ranted as he entered the compartment.
Schuldig wore his usual attire; the customary green jacket and white pants, yellow bandana kept titian hair back, red tinted sunglasses on his head.
"Made a friend liebe?"[7]
"You're prepared not to be nice to me. I'm offended," the girl whined.
Schuldig cracked a single eye open, appearing bored. All at once it occurred to him who he was talking to. The familiarity of the girl before him, earphones around her neck.
"Katzchen [8]…"
"Ja [9]"
"So you did survive that blaze. Figured. Crawford said not to look for you. Visions."
"I can imagine. C'mon, let's go fuck with the gaijin [10]."

"I heard we were getting a bunch of new students, some professors too."
"Really? How many professors can we possibly need? Only Defense against the Dark Arts needs one."
At that moment one of the said new students choose the opportunity to burst into the compartment. The quartet glanced at the panting blond in the doorway. He was dressed in Western style clothes and could have been mistaken for a local if not for his accent.
"Ano…. can I sit in here? The only other empty one has him in it."
"Sure but who're you talkin' about?"
The blond boy barely stepped into the compartment, anxiety on his face when a low call reached their ears. The speaker spoke better English than the blond, with the slight Irish accent.
"Here Weiß kitty, come play Bombay."
The blond cursed quickly, peeking his head out the sliding door. He was able to withdraw his head into the compartment just as a soccer ball whizzed by his head.
"Oi! Gomen!"
"Daijobu [11] Ken-kun!"
"…. The hell?"
~*~

"Where you guys from?"
"Japan."
"Japan?"
"Aa. I'm a bit annoyed that I gotta play a student though. I'm nineteen after all. By the way, I'm Ken," the brunette with the soccer ball told them.
"I'm Omi."
The two Japanese boys watched the quartet with interest. The redhead with the freckles was glaring at the couple across from him. The couple consisted of a blond pale boy and another that had black hair and green eyes. The blond had his arm around the black haired boy's waist. The only girl in the compartment shook her head.
"I apologize for them. I'm Hermione Granger," the girl stated.
"Harry Potter," the black haired boy answered.
"Draco Malfoy," the blond offered.
"Ron Weasley."
"Konnichiwa."
"It is rather odd that you're a student instead of a professor."
"Don't feel bad KenKen. Schu's older than you and he's a student too."
"Huh?"
Ken and Omi turned to face the new comer. Black hair in a tight braid, she sauntered into the room, flaunting the fact that her player still worked and everyone else was without music. She smirked and leaned a hip against the door.
"Schu? Eh? Schuldig? From Schwartz?"
"Schwarz and yes," she corrected.
"What's Schwarz?"
"A…eto…"
"Rival flower shop!"
The British teens shrugged and turned to talk amongst each other. Ken and Omi however went ballistic.
"Schuldig is here?"
"All of Schwarz."
"Schuldig's a student?" Ken asked laughing.
"It's not my fault!"
Schuldig stormed in, Nagi in tow. The German glared viciously, daring one of them to say something. The kinetic was trying to suppress a giggle.
"Keep it up Soccerboy and I'll sic Farf on you."
"Farf?"
"Aa. Farfarello, a demon from Dante's Inferno."
Upon hearing his name the white haired Irishman poked his head in, knife in hand. He grinned.
"Two Weiß kitties…"
"Who are you people?" Ron shouted in annoyance.
"Schuldig."
"Nagi."
"Farfarello."
"Ara. Ne, Nagi, you bring your gun?"
"Yeah."
"Good. Saturday 9:30."
"Ano…"
"You can use my paintballs."
"You're playin paintball with the enemy?!"
"Correct."
"How do you even know them?"
"Right…that's another problem…I'm not supposed to know you guys…great, now I have to explain myself."
'I'm surprised Soccerboy. You didn't even ask why she lied about her identity. Stupid Siberian."
'Stay out of my head!'
"I have a feeling this won't be pretty."

Aya sat in a car in the back of the train, one reserved for teachers. Despite the book in front of him, he couldn't concentrate. He would be teaching Muggle Studies and briefly wondered how the whole mission would play out. His sister was already at the school. It wasn't as if he could leave the country without her.
Yohji sat across from Aya, glaring out the window. They'd gotten next to no information on the mission. Only that some mass disturbance was effecting the universal balance as Rhea had put it. Not that he cared. He hardly even registered the presence beside him. Again Yohji didn't care. All he knew was that for the next year he'd be teaching a bunch of British teenagers, no one over eighteen. No his idea of a good time. That and it seemed he couldn't get away from the damn flowers, he was teaching Herbology. He snorted. Him and plants didn't get along or his name wasn't Yohji Kudo, which it was. In any event he turned to the guy next to hm, hoping to strike a conversation.
"Hi, I'm Yohji…"
"Kudo. I know. For the next year we'll be working together."

*Ok, is it just me or is this totally weird? Brad Crawford is sitting next to me. This is like the only time I've seen the man up close when he's not trying to kill us in some way. He kinda reminds me of Aya, the whole cold untouchable thing goin'. Both of them have this dignified grace, dangerous, like a panther. He's not that bad looking either, not as extreme in his looks as Aya, more refined and delicate. The year looks like it's definitely shaping up. *
