"(I'M LATE!!!)"

I jerked back to the world of the living ignoring the sunlight that was previously streaming inside the room. I scrambled around the room looking for my luggage with my clothes until I realized I slept fully dressed including shoes and belt. Ever slept facedown wearing a belt? It hurts! It digs into your waist and leaves an imprint! I looked at my watch seeing it read 11:23 a.m.. I slept all night and into late morning! And my body was still asking for sleep. I tried to get back on whatever remained of a schedule until I realized a few things:

1. The principal wouldn't make me go to school the day after I arrive into a new country.

2. By Japanese calender it was freakin' Sunday!

After that little scare I sat down on the bed and waited for the adrenaline induced awakening to wear off. After that little episode I was pretty much awake now so I started to unpack my luggage.

Clothes in the dresser...Check.

Toiletries in the bathroom...Check.

Food in the kitchen...

...

"(Shit.)"

Well the food shortage wasn't all bad I suppose. It gave me a reason to go for a walk to find somewhere to eat and seeing as I had my last meal roughly around 16 hours ago on a plane and come on, it was airline food! Who knows what's in that stuff? I sighed as I held my rumbling stomach.

"(Damn I need food!)" I exclaimed causing several people to stare at me.

I just ignored them and kept walking. I kept walking while looking around for a restaurant or something, even a vending machine. Disheartened and hungry I sat down on a bench just to think.

"Hey!"

'Huh?' I blinked looking up.

I looked around before I caught the sight of two guys walking up to me, one was a brunette with a silly look on his face and another was a smaller boy with black hair who looked very calm. The two approached me before standing in front of the bench I was on.

"Yeah?" I questioned with a raised eyebrow. Tensing up in case of a fight. They didn't look like the fighting type but looks can be deceiving.

"Who are you? I've never seen you around here." questioned the brunette.

"I'm James Watson I was transferred here for a student exchange program."I explained.

"Cool where from and which school are you going too?" asked the brunette that I deduced was very excitable.

"Dude, why should I tell you? I don't even know you." I told him. The only reason I gave my name was because it was polite.

"I'm sorry. My name is Asano Keigo. The handsome prince of Karakura High!"he proclaimed striking a pose while a sparkling background appeared behind him.

"I'm Kojima Mizuiro . Nice to meet you."said the so far quiet boy.

"Did you say Karakura High?"

"Yeah. Why?"

"That's the school I'm transferring too."I explained.

"Really? Cool! Where are you from?"

"America."

"Really? Your Japanese is very good."complimented Mizuiro.

"Thanks. I've come to the conclusion that that is the reason they chose me." I informed.

"Really?"

"Yup. Either that or they were sick and tired of me."

"Why?"

"Well..." I began but my stomach beat me to the punch as it let out a loud and viscious rumble. I couldn't do much else but rub the back of my head while giving a sheepish smile while the two looked on with sweatdrops.

"Sorry I havent eaten for almost a day."I explained.

"How come?"

So I explained the plane ride, the meeting with the principal, the jetlag, the adrenaline filled awakening (which the idiots laughed at) and finally my current quest for food.

"Why don't you just go to the corner store?"asked Keigo.

"Huh?"my intelligent inquiry.

"It's right over there."explained Mizuiro while pointing to a small building with a neon sign that was about a block away. It was four blocks away from my apartment!

"(SHIT!)"

It turned out to be a small convenience store with a nice selection of edibles. The manager though came off a bit fruity. It didn't matter cause now I had food! I got back to my apartment building and saw my neighbors light on but I wasn't feeling to sociable at the moment so I didn't bother them. As I went inside I shuffled the bags around and closed the door with my foot. Now I just had to nuke the food and I could have a hot meal.

Wait...

I need...

a microwave...

...

"(SHIT!)"

I'm usung that word a lot today.

Author Notes:

Well that introduces Keigo and Mizuiro. Keigo is one of my favorite secondary characters. He is a great comic relief that always has me laughing. If you've seen the Bount Arc of the anime then you know Keigo is also a good friend from when he told Ichigo to run even when his own soul was almost gone.

I apologize because I don't really know the typical Japanese school week so I'm using a typical American schedule.

I've actually woken up like this and believe me it's better at waking you up than coffee! The belt thing is also true. I came home from a school dance and was so tired I was out when my head hit the pillow. I fell asleep facedown wearing belt, tie, coat, and boots on. Yes I wear polished combat boots with my tux or dress clothes. When I woke up roughly 10 hours later my belt buckle had dug into my waist and when I had pulled it off the blood rushed back into the pressed area and hurt like a bitch!
