Chapter 2
The Shinigami Academy was much bigger than Yuki had expected. Her jaw dropped in awe as she walked through the enormous gates. It was a beautiful place, the sakura trees surrounding it were in full bloom. Students darted in and out of doors and across the yard.
She was just about to start making her way toward the main building when she was hit hard from behind. She looked up to see a tall male student walking by,
"Don't just stand there, Chibi-Chan." He taunted.
Yuki wasn't quite sure how to react as she watched him walk away.
"You should really be more assertive." A female voice said from behind her, "Some people here are jerks."
She turned around to see a girl standing there. She was a little over a foot taller than her. She had long dark brown hair pulled up into high pigtails. She had large dark brown eyes. She had a ton of freckles dotting her face. She gave Yuki a friendly smile,
"You must be new?"
"Yeah. I'm Hitsugaya Yuki."
"I'm Oyama Rin, it's nice to meet you."
Yuki smiled, happy to have met someone so friendly so soon,
"We should probably go findo ut where you're staying, that way you can put down all that stuff."
"Oh…Yeah."
Rin turned, "C'mon, this way!"
She began walking and Yuki trotted along after her.
-------
They walked across a large green field, scattered with students eating their lunch and just hanging out. Yuki took a deep breath, taking in the fresh air. She couldn't remember the last time she'd been in such clean air.
Rin led her to some large buildings on the other side of the campus,
"These are the student Dorms. You'll be staying here, like most of the rest of us."
"I see…"
They walked into one of the buildings and up to the front desk, where a lazy looking female student was sitting,
"Hey, Haruko. I found a new student for you!"
Haruko slowly stood up and grabbed a book off of the shelf behind her, the returned to her seat,
"Name…"
Yuki stepped forward, "H-Hitsugaya Yuki…"
The girl looked up, "Hitsugaya you say? Hm…"
She looked back down and flipped through the pages,
"Ah, here we are, room 112. I trust you can get her there Rin?"
"Of course, no problem." She walked over to a nearby staircase, "C'mon Yuki-Chan!"
"Enjoy your stay Yuki-San." Haruko remarked.
Yuki gave her a quick, confused glanced, then ran to catch up with Rin.
-------
They wound up at the end of the hall on the first floor,
"Wooooow, end of the hall, swanky. How'd you get such a good room?"
"I don't know…"
"Well, anyway, I'll let you get to unpacking. My room is just down the hall…and up the stairs…"
"Alright, thanks Rin…Chan…"
"EEEEEEE!" Rin squealed, "You called me Rin-Chan!" She giggled, "Get some rest! I'll see you tomorrow!" She skipped off down the hall, "See ya!"
"Bye."
Yuki entered her room and flipped on the light. The room was huge. A very large bed sat against the wall on one side of the room, covered in a thick black comforter. Her large window had light wooden blinds on them. A small entertainment area was across from the bed. It had a black futon couch with a light wood frame, and a small table with a shoji lamp. A medium sized tv sat on a table across from the couch. A short distance from there was a small kitchenette, fully stocked, and a table set up with a kotatsu. A small closet was set up against the wall next to her bed.
Yuki grinned, "I think this is gonna be a good time after all."
She tossed her bag to the foot of her bed, then ran and jumped on the bed, kicking her shoes off.
