Thank you very much to, soursupergirl for reviewing, and to everyone else who has followed and favorited (is that a word..?) this story! I'm unsure of the direction the story is going, but I do know it will continue for awhile. This chapter brings in Lenalee, I'm debating whether or not to change her personality as well… Hoshino said that Lenalee was originally very fiery and feisty, but spontaneously became nice after her backstory was developed, so maybe this Lenalee should be like that too...? For now she's just shy, but maybe she'll be more opinionated, loud… Like when she was unable to invoke and just punched people *evil grin*. Please share any thoughts, comments concerns, and enjoy! (Also, this universe is still Innocence/ akuma/ 14th/ etc free)

Allen wound up getting lost on his way back to the office, wandering about aimlessly for at least ten minutes. The accidental detour was not a total waste however. He had stumbled across a seemingly unused music room. Not wanting to risk getting caught or lose track of time, he had only stepped in for a minute. So the school does have a piano. After confirming this, he continued his search for the office.

"There you are!" Allen jumped, eyes widening at the sound of the familiar voice.

" ?" The slightly solem therapist wearing glasses stood, smiling and waving wildly. instead of a suit, he now wore a lab coat and and strange hat.

"Have you met him before Komui?" beside him, stood a girl. She was around Allen's age with flowing black hair, made unique by the fact that it somehow had a mossy sheen, pinned in twin tails. Her eyes were a stunning cross between obsidian and violet. She wore a black skirt and white top. The black jacket with red trim had a strange cross near the left shoulder. This school has a uniform?! I thought only private schools did that… How am I going to afford that?

"Yes, when he was applying for the school, like all the other students" he answered, turning to face the girl, smile widening. Apply? Why do I get the sense that this isn't a public school… Wait, but if it is private, why are they understaffed? Private schools are usually really expensive so they can afford tons of stuff. Another thing… He walked over to the pair, who had begun whispering. The girl glanced at him, blushing slightly before turning to mumble something at her brother. Allen stopped. Well that's… Weird. I can't judge though, besides, they're siblings so it was probably something he said. Her legs, hidden by black stockings, shifted about nervously.

"As I told you before, I'm , the principal of this school. Most of the staff and students however just call me Komui" he smiled, but gave Allen a look. He wasn't planning on questioning , not in front of her at least. Allen nodded, unsure of what to do.

"I'm Lenalee Lee" the girl spoke up at least, offering a warm smile and her hand.

"I'm Allen Walker" he hesitated slightly before shaking her hand.

"It's nice to meet you Allen."

"Y-you too."

"A-hem" Komui coughed, and the two awkwardly released each other's hands.

"I've asked Lenalee to show you around the school and explain the rules. There aren't very many, but I do expect you to uphold them." Allen nodded, keeping his head down.

"I'll leave you to it then. And since first block has already started, you probably shouldn't go to class until second block, so as not to disturb your fellow students."

"Alright, see ya Komui" Lenalee waved before walking down the hall, Allen in tow. Komui sighed, pushing his glasses onto the bridge of his nose as he watched the pair retreat.

"I hope this works…"

"Sorry if my brother was weirding you out, he does that sometimes" Lenalee laughed.

"It's fine" Allen said. If anything you're weirding me out… She seems nice, but also nervous. Maybe her brother pressured her into doing this? That would explain a lot.

"So I think one of the rules I'm supposed to point out is that you're not supposed to wear a hat or hoodie or anything…" She said, turning to face him with a small smile.

"Krory said the same thing… But Komui had a hat, so why can't I wear a hood?" he pointed out bluntly. She sighed.

"My brother is… Interesting… He does all kind of weird stuff like that, I don't know why that's a rule, I just… Don't want you to get in trouble on your first day." Lenalee continued walking, her head tilted slightly so her bangs fell into her face, hiding it from view.

"Right… But no one's around right now so… I'll take it off when we get to class."

"It's your choice I guess" she mumbled. Now I feel guilty… Allen then recalled why he wore the hood and the tinge of guilt instantly faded. They walked in silence for a few more minutes before going through a doorway.

"This is-"

"The entrance to the school yes. I figured this would be a good place to start. Those gates remain closed pretty much all the time, they are only open a few hours before and after school for club and faculty members. We have free time after first block and fourth. Lunch is after third block, some students come here then to."

"Komui mentioned blocks as well…"

"'Block, period, class, they all mean the same thing." Lenalee smiled as Allen tried to process all the information she had just thrown at him.

"May I see your schedule?" Allen blinked, before recalling what she meant. He pulled the paper from his pocket and handed it over.

"Hm… Our schedules are pretty similar. Come on, I'll show you around." Lenalee gave him a tour, which was more in depth than he had originally expected. There was the courtyard, then the gym to the right of the entrance. Locker rooms were accessed from the gym, and outside the gym was a trail to the stadium, which was in the woods behind the school. The cafeteria was to the left, and there was outdoor seating along the side of the school. Past that was the lobby, the center of the school. Branching off from their was the office, library and main staircase. All of the math, science and literature classes were downstairs. A corridor lead from them to the lobby. Upstairs were all of the classes considered electives, history, art, language, computers, etc. Lenalee briefly talked about the music room, long abandoned and tucked away in the maze of classes upstairs. People had lost interest, so the music program was cut.

Lenalee proceeded to then walk him through his schedule, showing him the location of all of his class. First was history with Krory, then literature with , biology with , geometry with , PE with , followed by, surprisingly, a combat class also with Link. Lenalee had all of the same classes except for the last one. She had an art course with instead.

"Why is there a combat class?" Allen didn't object, in fact, he was looking forward to it. While he didn't enjoy fighting, he was exceptionally good at it.

"Oh… Well you see…" Lenalee sighed.

"I suppose I better explain some of the rules to you. The first ones are fairly standard, no hats, hoods, masks, in school. Uniforms are strongly preferred but not mandatory. And then there's-" Lenalee was cut off by a bell echoing about the halls. Allen jumped at the sound, then tensed as students and a few teachers flooded into the lobby.

"Come on, I'll take you to meet . She's a bit… Forgetful" Lenalee smiled and led him upstairs.

"What were you saying about the rules?" Allen asked.

"Oh! Let's see… No one is allowed on campus as night, no exceptions. And you need eight electives to graduate, at least three should be combat classes." Allen looked at her quizzically. I've never heard of a school with fighting classes before… What is this place really? As if she could read his thoughts, Lenalee, said solemnly:

"You'll figure it out soon…"
