Another Drop Of Poison

[Larissa Sedgwick]

The weather was chill and very European. This, of course, was not the only difference between Hogwarts New Zealand and Durmstrang. The school was a different shape, entirely, the walls a different colour, the classes were different, the language was strange, and yet, as Larissa walked in through the corridors, a surprisingly short skirt for the climate, floating about just below her knees, a heavy, baggy jumper, hanging from her body, a pair of black heels on her feet, she had never felt more at home. The students in the entrance hall who had been heading outside, stopped and fell coldly silent. Larissa walked to a comfortable beat, pretending she had not seen the boys gawping, the eyes following her as she had passed. However, she couldn't help the dark smile upon her face, which she could finally let out and show of. And what a powerful smile it was.

Larissa paused for a moment, taking a deep, satisfied breath. She gave her platinum-blonde hair, a quick shake and flick, letting it fall partially on her shoulders. She had only just entered the school, but it was obvious to her how things worked, here. And, if Mark was anything to go by, the boys here were quite easy to deal with, too. Oh, yes, you always got the tough guys, the ones who thought they were better than anyone else, but they could easily be cracked with a little veela charm. It was the silent, studying type who were the most dangerous. Larissa was already setting herself some goals, mentally. Yes, these last couple of years she would be spending at Durmstrang, those would be the greatest of her youth.

---

Larissa stood in the girl's dormitory and thought, instantly, of Hoshi. She sighed as she began to unpack her things onto an empty bed: The rest of the school were down in the hall, having dinner. Larissa had been given some food to take to her room, so that she could be unpacked before the other girls turned up in a noisy horde. If there was one thing that Larissa was really going to miss about Hogwarts, it was Hoshi. Hoshi and Adira. She missed Quidditch, too, and a part of her missed being a prefect. But there were more pros than cons and, as she began to unpack, Larissa made a mental note to write to Hoshi. She was taking a few things out and organizing them. One particular item that Larissa picked up, sent a shudder down her spine. It was a shudder of sadness. This picture was of her, Adira and Hoshi. Should she pack it back away with her other photographs or should she keep it out on display? Larissa found herself almost showing the emotion within. She shoved the photograph back inside her case which she then closed, pushing it underneath the bed. She silenced her feelings and lay across her bed in an awkward fashion, so that she hung off wither side. It was only just dawning on her that she knew no-one here.. Well, she had met a couple of Durmstrangs during the Brightstone weekends, but she doubted that a brief 'hello, do you like Quidditch? And, what's your favourite colour?' really counted as knowing someone.

Larissa released one last sigh, shutting her eyes and holding her hands over her face, she could hear the distant rumblings of students standing up and walking to their dorm rooms. She sat up, quickly grabbing her diary from her bag and feigning writing in it. She braced herself for the incoming girls.

 

[Nobody Marsters]

((Told ya so, Bethy-Boo!))

There was that chill, the air was always filled with it. Though nobody had been in the school for quiet some time, she could never get used to the cool air touching her skin. She missed her warm bed, and her family. She missed her sanity most of all, which seemed to be slipping away every second of the day. Little by little she became jumpier and more likely to scream at the most inappropriate moments. Why hadn't her time off lasted longer? All she wanted was to preform, it was really what she loved. She smiled a bit to herself, as her class was dismissed into the chilly hallways. As normal, Nobody packed her things quietly, and slowly. She hated crowds, she wanted to wait until they passed her so that she could get out without being touched.

Weeks ago she may have set up outside, a place that was her own sanctuary. She would have danced with people, asked them to join in. But, this place. it was different, way different. She didn't even had a bad reputation, and she was still tortured. It was only by one boy though, a boy by the name of Kyouhei. He was evil, she had scars that were hidden very well under her clothing. As the class departed more, she started to leave, looking out the window like she did during most of her classes. This was hell, and she was only waiting for the freeze over. She walked out, and adjusted a bag on her shoulder that carried all of her books. She pressed herself against the cool wall and shot into a horrid day-mare about the way he had pounded her face into the wall. She flinched back, the halls were quiet and she was suddenly scared.

She watched as a few students passed her. They were all heading to the same place. The hall, where they ate. This was the only good time that Nobody got to herself, so instead of going down there, she headed up to the rooms. She hated the crowds there the same as she did in class. A room of her and two other people were about all she could stand. She took her bag and pulled it close, hurrying at a nearly jogging pace through the halls. Her blond hair was back in a barrette that she had gotten from her sister, Solstice, before she left again. It was beautiful really, and so shiny. She made it into the common room, glad that the Durmstrang uniforms were flexible. She only did her stretches and dancing when she was alone. people knew her hear, she'd get made fun of, and she knew it. She Did her ballet steps, and stretches. She went from half to full point, adn then worked with her instrument a bit, still learning chords to 'The Voice'. Her and Solstice did duets to this.

Within only moments, as it seemed, she could hear them. Seh quickly gathered up her school bag, which was now empty, and her other things. She then ran up the stairs into the Dorms. That's when she spotted a girl she didn't really know. She seemed busy, so nobody went over to her bed, which was next to this girl's bed, and pulled a box out from under it. She packed away her things, and the dust made her sneeze. A squeak that she couldn't control. After, she sat on the bed, and kind of looked at the girl. She didn't recognize her.

 

[Larissa Sedgwick]

Larissa looked towards the girl beside her, only her eyes moving. She glanced back at her diary and then to the girl once more. This time, she saw the girl's eyes looking back at her. At first, Larissa found herself feeling a little bit awkward, then, she reverted to her usual behaviour, turning stony-faced. Did this girl speak English? The only other language Larissa knew was German. Perhaps she should try a bit of that? Without any hesitation between words, Larissa began to speak. Alright, the German accent could have been better, but at least she was fluent in the language. "Hi.. I'm Larissa Sedgwick- And you are?" She offered a hand as she spoke, hoping the girl could understand. From what Larissa had heard, people from all over the world came here, just as they did at Hogwarts New Zealand.

She was missing Mark, terribly. It was awful to not see him when she'd just changed schools.. On the up side, she would see him every holiday now, yes, but on the down side, she had to be alone remaining only a short distance from the place she now called home. But she did draw some comfort from the fact that Mark had attended this school in his youth. She tried to imagine a young Mark, a guy her age who walked these corridors, who caused trouble with his friend, Joseph, a man that Larissa had yet to meet. From what she'd heard, it seemed as though Mark's sister enjoyed Joseph's company more that she was willing to admit.

 

[Nobody Marsters]

Nobody's dark orbs shifted uncomfortably from the blond, down to her feet and back. it was obvious now that they knew each other was looking. Nobody looked over at her and smiled slightly, she was a bit too scared to talk. Most people who came to this school wanted to study the dark arts; Nobody was too timid and weak to do those things. She wasn't there for that, and what if this girl was? What if this new girl (or at least a girl that was new to her) was there because that's what she wanted? What if she found Nobody as a good target for practicing on, much like a few other students seemed to do? She now felt her pupils going smaller, she blinked a few times, realizing that the sun had come from behind the clouds, making the room brighter. She heard the words come out, and smiled a bit. She knew German, mostly because she had learned Latin first. It was something the Gypsy's felt was important, since they were a traveling group. "Hi, Larissa!" She said, a bit more confident. "I'm Nobody." she enjoyed speaking in German. She heard it very often at home from some of the other gypsy's

Thinking about what she had learned while traveling with her tribe, only made her more and more sad. She remembered the night before she left, how they had played music in her honor. She was so tired because they all had stayed up late to bless her trip, and Solstice gave her the barrette. She smiled absent mindedly and looked at her feet again, at the small, flat, blue shoes. They matched the rest of her outfit, which was a long cloth skirt, and a belly shirt, typical of the gypsy's. It was one of her favorite outfits. The blue on her skirt, almost reminded her of the strangers eyes, and with that thought, she looked back to the Larissa.

 

[Larissa Sedgwick]

Larissa found herself a little confused by the girl's words; she sounded so confident, yet she said she was nobody. A puzzled line formed between her brows, and Larissa blinked a little. Unless.. Unless her name was Nobody? It was a strange name, but then, Larissa had learnt to just roll with such things. If this wasn't the girl's name then.. Well, Larissa had stopped allowing herself to be embarrassed. She'd wandered off into her thoughts and now that she looked back at the girl, she realized that it was her turn to press on with the conversation.

"You may have realized that I'm new here," she shrugged slightly. "This is a better school than my other one, though. - At least you get to learn the dark arts, here." Larissa laughed, gave a light cough, and fell silent, again. "So.. Do you play Quidditch?" This was a part of Larissa's classic 'filler' conversation. She didn't know this girl well enough to open up to her, and she didn't really dislike her, either. And then, a weird feeling struck Larissa; she was going to miss the Glam Squad. Well, no, not miss them, but she'd miss the battles that the Goth Gang would have with them, even though the last time that had happened, was two years ago.

And then Larissa thought about Robert.

She felt a pang of guilt for kissing him in her fourth year when her and Mark had, supposedly, first become 'something'. But then, Larissa had always had a 'thing' for Robert. It confused her so much. He was a muggle-born, he was self-confident. Larissa had broken up with him twice. They'd always been on and off, but she'd kissed him when he was seeing Rhianne, and he had kissed her back. It had been a truly strange moment. But she loved Mark. She loved him more than she could ever love anybody else, and he'd saved her from the darkness devouring her brain, the great cloud of depression, hugging around her. He was her hero, and he always would be.

 

[Nobody Marsters]

Nobody had studied people for too long. She had been able to read them well enough to know them after a first meeting. Elder Dahlia had said it was her gift. She may not have been born into their ways, but The Elder blessed her as a tribe member and said she was given a gift by the gods. She saw the small line, and it meant confusion. She looked away only for a second. She didn't want to miss anything else that this beautiful, blue-eyed girl would give away with expressions.

She nodded a little bit and smiled. "I noticed, I would have seen you." She said. it was true, it was hard to miss someone who looked like Larissa. She had a good build, and though she looked fragile, she gave off an air of strength. And her skin and hair were nearly flawless, which was a big deal around Durmstrang, at least for Nobody. She had never seen someone quiet so beautiful. She was surprised, this girl like the dark arts, Nobody had only shown an inward interest in the dark arts, since in her village she was not allowed to practice them. "No, Elder Dahlia does not like flying tricks. She'd rather me do something I can make a good career out of." Nobody felt like she could be honest, and she was not as timid as before.

it was like she was out and about again. She saw a few of the girls walk by, ignoring her and Larissa. Many of the girls in her year were very petty and rude. Nobody didn't understand it, she didn't understand them. So she didn't talk to them, in face, this was one of the first interactions that she'd had since she got here.

 

[Larissa Sedgwick]

Flying tricks? Elder Dahlia? Larissa smiled slightly. But, no matter how small her smile ever was, her face still let up when it happened, true and pure. Often, Larissa didn't mind her veela blood, shining on through. Today was one of those days. Another thought struck her and she dived to the trunk under her bed; she took out several sheets of parchment, ink and her quill. And then, something else came to mind.. Where was Ted? They did have an owlery here, she was sure of it, but would they allow ravens to stay in there? She hoped so. Ted meant so much to her, even if he was a pain in the backside at times.

Larissa opened her mouth to say something, thought for a moment, and closed it. She wrote a small note on the parchment and left it on her pillow. She turned back to talk to Nobody. "Sorry," she apologized, "I have a terrible memory when I'm stressed, so I like to note things down, instantly." Only seconds after she'd said it, Larissa blushed. She even looked pretty when she was embarrassed. "So, what are you interested in being when you've finished at Durmstrang?" It was a quick and easy cover for the slip-up she'd made. But then, this girl had seemed.. Different. Perhaps there was potential in her, yet..

 

[Nobody Marsters]

There was silence between the two girls, even though there were people talking loudly, and girls doing hair and nails. Hair and nails.. yuk! She didn't even like doing her hair for performances, wasn't she good enough the way she was? Makeup just made people fake, and she had more appreciation for someone who didn't wear mounds of makeup. Larissa was one of those people, she was a natural beauty, however, there had to be Veela in her blood. She had never seen one, but they were beautiful beyond belief from what Nobody had been told. they had legends about Veela's tempting men and turning them into adulterers. She shuddered and looked away, realizing that Larissa had been distracted by writing something down. Nobody didn't pry.

"I'm sorry to hear. Don't be so stressed, from what I have seen, you seem to have it together well enough to get through it." She said. the blush on her cheeks even looked beautiful, and Nobody sighed, why wasn't she that beautiful. She had to shake the thoughts away, because she was supposed to love herself, not hate the way she looked. "Are you a Veela?" She asked, curiosity flowing into her voice, her eyes like a puppy's eyes, dark and big, wanting more then what they knew. She then nodded. "I am supposed to help with the tribe, I'm just like the mother, really. But, you know I might change my mind." She thanked herself for being a good liar, because she wanted to be a death eater, for so many reasons.

 

[Kyouhei Watanuki]

((Mind if I join?))

The day started with Kyouhei throwing the snow globes to a random students. No, he was actually in the mood but somehow, there was something missing. It had been a while that Kyouhei didn't see his `victims` including Sunako, his own sister. "Clean the mess" He ordered them and went up to his dorm. He hadn't slept since the night before, the corridors was his `territory`, he was always out there especially at night. He was either punching the pillars and destroying them or punching students. That was an awkward hobby of his, if Sunako was there, he was sure that she would love seeing them scream because of Kyouhei. And that was why Kyouhei got along with Sunako even though he was violent toward her.

Kyouhei quickly threw himself to the shower and changed his clothes into his new robes. The weather was perfect, not too warm and not too cold. He glared at Ranmaru's bed, not finding anyone in there. He was probably beneath all those blanket or somewhere around the castle. Kyouhei followed the rest of the students and sat on the corner, and started to eat his breakfast. He could see some of them staring at him in horror or whispering to their friends. A smirk appear on his face as he continue eating. When the bell rung, he took his things, dark art class was next. He loved the class, he was the teacher's pet there after all.

Just as Kyouhei expected, the professor gave him an O for his homework. He tossed the quill to the ground and leave the room. He had heard that Nobody was in Durmstrang. He had seen her before, somewhere in the castle and he remember which room she was in. Kyouhei grabbed a toast for lunch and walk toward the dorm. If he was hungry, he could always force Sunako to make him a bento. Kyouhei walk into the crowds and made his way to the girl's dorm. He notice the number and opened the door finding two girls in it including Nobody. "Get out" He commanded her with his famous monotone.

 

[Larissa Sedgwick]

((Anyone's welcome ))

Larissa gave Nobody a small smile. When asked if she was Veela, however, Larissa's grin appeared, warping her face into that strange, dark one that had destroyed so many relationships. She nodded as she spoke. "Only a quarter," she replied, "but, yes, I am." Larissa had a moment of wondering if Nobody was telling her everything, but she decided not to ask. After all, Larissa kept many secrets of her own. She was just beginning to wonder where to drive the conversation next, when a boy walked in. Larissa had no idea what was going on and she sat there, an eyebrow raised.

Was this boy ordering her out? Was he really ordering out the infamous Larissa Sedgwick? It seemed as though his attentions were mostly focussed on Nobody, but Larissa was having none of it: She stood up, a dark smile on her face, her eyes gleaming. She left her wand in her pocket, not planning on starting a fight on her first day. "You shouldn't be in here," she said, her voice full of strength. She seemed almost protective over Nobody, regardless of the fact that they'd only just met. "This is a room for girls. Although, you probably fight like a right pansy." She smirked, still speaking in German. Larissa was not scared of this boy. After all, she'd charmed Death Eater and evaded capture from the Head Boy. She wasn't going to be taken down by some boy. If she was still in her first year, or second year, even, then she might have been worried. Heck, even her third, but the truth was, Larissa had drawn mental strength from all the deaths in her family, the imprisonment of her step-father. And now, though she did not truly realize it, Larissa's magic was stronger than ever.

 

[Kyouhei Watanuki]

Somehow the girl reminded Kyouhei of the cousin of his, Hoshi. He had never seen her before in Durmstrang, perhaps she transferred from some other school? Kyouhei then overheard that the girl was a quarter veela. Kyouhei had seen veelas and he wasn't attracted to them... at all. It was slightly odd and he didn't know why. If Kyouhei wanted to slam the girl to the wall he could but he decided not to do that. He wasn't going to waste his time with this girl who spoke in German. He didn't understand her at all, he rose his eyebrows and decided to reply her in Japanese. "I'm not planning to stay in this room" He glared at her with his strong left arms holding the door.

Kyouhei then glared at nobody, she was nobody to him. Her name suit her personality, he knew that by attacking her violently would make the girl depressed or got these odd mental problem. He did that once to a second cousin of his but she was alright after Kyouhei's mother stopped him from destroying the girl's mentality. Kyouhei then rose his eyebrow looking at Nobody. "Nobody, out" He said with his famous monotone, it was like ordering a dog for him. Kyouhei didn't know why he was like this, even though he was with Emiko, he still couldn't like or even be friendly to everyone else. He had never lay his hands upon her, he loved her more than anything. Of course Kyouhei still loved Sunako a sister of his but he couldn't stop himself from hitting her. But that was why they got along, it was odd really.

 

[Nobody Marsters]

There was a chill in the air, even though Nobody smiled at Larissa, it was neat knowing a Veela. She could cross it off of her list of things to do before she died. She hadn't had a good day in a while, and life seemed to take a turn for the worst whenever something was happening around her that was go. She turned and looked, the voice familiar. Her puppy dog eyes got wide, and she tensed her body up, moving to Larissa's side. She watched as Larissa stood up, and she spoke in frantic German. "La... Larissa, please, you don't know who this is." Her voice was shaking almost as violently as what her body was. In her mind she could see the images of the first time he had beaten her, she flinched and felt her still bruised cheek. The cover up wearing off on her finger tips.

When Kyouhei's eyes turned on her, she felt her feet tapping the floor in a steady drum roll. She couldn't stop her body from shaking, she hated herself right now. Kyouhei was probably the only thing that she feared at the moment. When he told her to get out, she jumped violently. He was addressing her. She immediately stood, but, stayed behind Larissa. She knew that if she walked by him, he would do something to her. Her knees and arms shook, and her whole body was quivering under his eyes. Her wand was under her bed, in her box. Seh wished that it was in her hands, or that she could use a wandless magic that the old elder's did.

 

[Larissa Sedgwick]

Larissa could tell that Nobody was shaking, behind her. She remained strong, ready for anything. Now, she spoke in English. "Boy," she addressed the boy, not knowing his name, not really caring. Although, she may have cared, if she had known. "If you do not leave this room, within the next.." She paused, momentarily, deciding how long Nobody could cope with this guys presence, before she shook to death. "Thirty seconds, I will make it my personal duty to show you violently, and without mercifulness, to the nearest exit I can find-" Again, Larissa's words broke, as she looked around, deciding on his exit. "Which, may well be, that window."

She folded her arms, waiting for his retort. She was not going to let some boy bully Nobody. If anything, it was her who should have been bullying the girl. Larissa felt that she may have found herself a new enemy, in this boy. Whoever he was, he seemed pretty certain of himself. Larissa just hoped he'd had some practice in fights, so that he'd make a worthy opponent. Besides, she had plenty of back-up, should things go wrong. It did help, rather, knowing the Death Eaters, she did.

 

[Kyouhei Watanuki]

Kyouhei yawned and took his wand "Accio wands" He said taking the girls wand. He was quite impressed that one of the girl wasn't afraid of him, of course she wasn't. She knew nothing about Kyouhei but once he taught her a lesson, he would make sure that she would shiver like Nobody the next time she met him. Kyouhei laughed when the girl threaten him, he wasn't scared at all. Kyouhei would love to take one of Sunako's poison and put it on the girl's food but too bad Sunako wasn't there. Sunako would enjoy the fight, he knew that she would love to fight other people especially using magic. Kyouhei prefer non-magical fight, his strength was unbelievably strong. "I've jumped off the window before and it was higher than this" He said with his famous monotone staring at the wands and put them inside his pocket.

As for Nobody, Kyouhei had no interest in her at the moment but he still wanted to scare her. Kyouhei knew that if he grabbed Nobody, the girl in front of her would have to be beaten up. He didn't feel like beating up other people except Sunako. He didn't know why he was so mad at his own sister and he couldn't understand why he had the heart to beat her. Kyouhei lean on the door, and glared at Nobody for several second, he knew that he was scaring her. "I'm not going to hurt you" He said in his serious tone, he was going to make her clean his room since he hadn't been sleeping in his room for a week and he knew that Ranmaru wont clean the room of his. "Clean my room, that's all I want. I want it to be done by... 10 o clock. If not then... You'll know what happen" He said before stepping away from the room still bringing the girls wand. Usually, Kyouhei would force Sunako to clean his room but he knew that his dear sister was tired or busy and secondly, he was still mad at her for no reason.

 

[Larissa Sedgwick]

((Sorry I took so long replying- I've been kinda busy))

Larissa observed the boy summoning their wands away. Again, she had nothing less than a raised eyebrow, and a faint smile. His boasting brought her lips to a wide smirk. It was obvious what sort of guy he was, and Larissa had dealt with a few others, like this. Still, she could easily beat him in a physical fight, though her preference was verbal. She watched her wand disappearing inside the boy's pocket. If anything, Nobody seemed to be even more scared. If that was at all possible. "Clean your own room, you ignoramus!" She called out, after him.

Larissa was not letting this boy take her wand, and she turned to nobody, attempting a comforting look, but giving more of one pained with disgust. Larissa darted from the room, after Kyouhei. "Oi!" She yelled confidently, her hands on her hips. "You seem to have forgotten to give me back my wand- Unless you truly desire the consequences?" That glint in her eye, showed that she was dead serious. Born under the sign of Leo, her element, fire, Larissa was no stranger to the 'incendio' spell, one which she had always used in her favour.

 

[Nobody Marsters]

Nobody's puppy eyes filled with tears and she nodded. She was never scared of anyhting this bad, but Kyouhei, he was something different. She watched her wand come out of her trunk and before she even noticed Larissa's words, she nodded in agreement to clean his room. She just hoped that this time, there were no dead things in it. Last time, she had found a rat, and that made her sick. Then she had to clean up her own sick, and he never let her live that down. "Larissa!" She exclaimed to the girl, who seemed to be either very brave or very stupid. Maybe it was a little of both.

Nobody didn't want to follow the blond, but she didn't have much of a decision in it. Her legs carried her after the girl and she stood there, still petrified. If it had been anyone else, then Nobody would have snapped back maybe. She kept telling herself that though, it made her feel a bit better. She frowned though, and watched Larissa and Kyouhei. "Larissa, just please." She said, whispering a little bit

 

[Kyouhei Watanuki]

Kyouhei nodded at Nobody, he was pleased that she would want to clean his room. There weren't much things in his room, only that blood was everywhere since there was a fight earlier and Kyouhei couldn't bother cleaning all the blood and messy furniture. "You better start in a minute" He said pointing a wand at the girl throwing the wand at her. Kyouhei liked Nobody a lot even because she always said yes to Kyouhei, she would do whatever Kyouhei said. He was making her his slave. He couldn't force his sister to do whatever he wanted, she was too tough and too brave but he could do it to Nobody. She wont fight back and he loved that kind of attitude.

"You'd better listen to her, or you'll be messing with one of the most dangerous Watanuki" The Japanese boy said to Larissa. Kyouhei could tell that she knew nothing about him since she was acting all `brave`. He then threw the wand at her, he threw it quite hard. If only Sunako was there, she would probably start battling them with magic, but Kyouhei was different, he'd rather attack them physically. He thought it would hurt more than if he cast a spell at them.

 

[Larissa Sedgwick]

Larissa had her wand back. She smiled, looking the boy over, as though nothing had happened. He had probably already heard her name from Nobody's frantic exclamations. Still, Larissa planned to introduce herself. To those she saw that certain spark in, however, she would be the Poison Veela. It may have been a new school, with new potential, but she had every intention of restarting the Goth Gang, but, perhaps, under a new name.

But that surname he spoke.. Larissa's head suddenly filled with the explanation at to why she felt she recognized him; Watanuki was the name Hoshi had adopted. This boy must have been one of the cousins at Durmstrang, she had briefly spoken of. "Watanuki?" She parroted back, her eyes widening. "You're one of her cousins?" Again, Larissa looked gobsmacked. And then, her smile, which had seemingly abandoned her, wandered back. "Well, this does explain a lot." She smirked, her veela charm crashing back like an enormous wave. Her eyes became more blue, more welcoming. Oh, she wasn't opening up to him, no, this was just her veela blood reacting.

Larissa stowed away her wand, offering a delicate-looking hand. "I'm Larissa Sedgwick- the one who evades capture." That was one of the reasons she had been chosen as a prefect, back at Hogwarts- She had got out of trouble, avoided the piercing gaze of Styx, and had always handed her homework in on time. To most, she appeared the model student, but to Hoshi, Adira and anyone who knew her more intimately, Larissa was, near enough, the devil in disguise.

 

[Nobody Marsters]

There was a moment of silence, and a chill wind filled the air. She watched Kyouhei and Larissa looking at each other. And then something very unexpected happened, which caused Nobody's jaw to drop to the floor (so to speak). She heard Larissa's words about five seconds after they had been spoken, everything was really slow moving. Then it hit her, she was trying to shake hands with a man that had been torturing her for years, whose eyes burned into her wherever she went. She stared at Larissa's small, frail looking hand, and then looked up at her in confusion. "Larissa?" this time, saying her name was not in fear or begging, it was in confusion. She didn't understand what was going on.

Nobody let her gears turn in her head, let the thoughts bubble like a potion. She wondered if she really should even be there, and thought about leaving. But, why would she? If Larissa got on his good side, maybe she could too? Then she wouldn't have to be afraid, though she probably still would be. It would take someone like Larissa to be brave. Nobody envied that so much.

 

[Kyouhei Watanuki]

Kyouhei was surprised that the emotion of Larissa changed, he was not interested in her at all. But since he didn't feel like killing anyone or torturing anyone, he decided to calm a little bit. But if the girls made him lose his temper then he would definitely slam them to the wall. If he could torture his sister, he could do worse with other people. "That's what I thought" He spatted and lean to the wall glaring at the girls without a smile. Again, Kyouhei wasn't one of them who could smile at other people except Emiko, she was the only one who stole his heart and who kept it. That fact scared him to death, he wanted to stop loving her but he couldn't, he was too in love with her. "Hoshi chan's friend?" He rose his eyebrow still not introducing himself.

Kyouhei ignored the hand that Larissa offer "I don't shake hands" He said calmly as a smirk appear on his face. Kyouhei wasn't good around girls and he was definitely not good around other people since he didn't have any friends except his family. But his family was enough for him, he was the second oldest in the quintuplets and he had a younger sister. He then glared back at Nobody and rose his eyebrow. "Tic toc, the time is running" He said still folding his arms on his chest.

 

[Larissa Sedgwick]

Larissa simply nodded in reply to the boy's question. She shrugged when he did not take her hand, letting it drop to her side, once more. Larissa wasn't going to bother wasting her own time, pursuing a handshake. After all, it was his loss. She looked back to Nobody, smiling. She responded no more than that, before her blue orbs found their way back to the boy, looking him over. "You order her around like some slave," Larissa started, folding her arms. "But you seem to have missed something, here," a glint in her eye was all it took to prove that she was dead serious, that she was dangerous, that she had better things to do than to murder some boy, though she could probably find time in her busy schedule. "I am here, now, and Nobody is mine." She ground her teeth, slightly, still looking cool and calm, "Understood?" She sneered, a single eyebrow raised.

In part, Larissa was protecting Nobody, but her words were never truer. Of course, Nobody was her own person, but Larissa was still going to keep her.. Like a pet, rather than a slave. She would offer her protection, yet, she would keep her in metaphorical shackles. "Boy," Larissa drawled, tired of the conversation, "go and clean your room- I'm bored of your demands." And, with that, Larissa dragged Nobody back into their dorm room, closing the door behind them. She turned to Nobody, looking stern and as though she was about to punish the girl herself. She reached out a hand and-

Rested it on Nobody's shoulder. It was a dominating, yet, friendly, move. She gave the girl a small, weak smile before walking to her bed and collapsing backwards, onto it. She gave a shallow sigh, tucking her hands behind her head; time had moved on a lot. "I think I'm going to have a little kip." Larissa said, reverting back to German, a language she enjoyed. She shut her eyes, her brain still awake to the goings on. Her ears were listening out.. Just incase that Watanuki boy decided to cause more trouble.

 

[Kyouhei Watanuki]

Kyouhei was annoyed when Larissa tried to act smart, she was new there and he was going to make sure that Ranmaru could have some fun with her, a broken heart was so much worse than a broken arm. "Firstly, she is MY slave, secondly" He moved closer to her as he held her by the hair real tight "Do not talk to me like that" He spatted in anger, he wasn't planning to touch one of them or even both but surprisingly he had to, he lost his temper and arrogant Kyouhei would never apologize after doing that. Who did she think she was? She just knew Nobody, and Kyouhei had known her for quite a while and since then he was planning on making her his slave.

"Confringo" He said clearly pointing his wand at the door after seeing the girls going inside the room. "Out, now! You know what I can do, Nobody. I'm losing my patience now, I was acting nice to you" He said with his famous monotone. The nicest he could go was not to slam other people to the wall. Except if he was talking to Emiko, it seemed that he got a double personality if Emiko was there. He could only talk nicely to her, no one else, not even his sister or his brothers. Perhaps he reflected his father who had been making him to learn all these martial art, he was proud of him and was scared of him.

Kyouhei then rose his eyebrow trying to find out if Nobody would dare to talk back to him or she would just stay there like a little mouse. Kyouhei thought he wasn't scaring her since he didn't touch her at all. He decided that fighting with Larissa for Nobody wont worth that much. He then saw a young girl walking by the stairs, he called her and signaled her to clean his room. The girl nodded and did what he said, with a smirk, Kyouhei turned himself to Larissa and rose his eyebrow. "I'll get whatever I want, including slaveS" emphasizing on the `s` part, meaning that he wanted more than one slave.

 

[Sunako Koshiba]

Sunako came from another girl's dorm. They had pared her with girls that kept to themselves because they thought that Sunako would get along with them better. In turn the girls had gotten a lesson in fear that they would never forget. They kept as far from Sunako as they could because they where afraid of what the girl, well schooled in dark magic, would do to them. She came in because she had heard from a passer by that her brother had been causing things trouble again. It was enough to make Sunako wish she where an only child.

Sunako came in, her head hung to let her stringy black hair drip over her all to pail face. She saw that Kyouhei had his hand in Larissa's blond hair and closed her dark eyes. Sunako took out her wand and flicked it lazily. "Don't touch her brother. She's a friend of Hoshi-sama." She said flicking her wand again to force it behind Kyouhei's back. Sunako, who ever since she was young suffered from a weak body, was not as physically capable as her brother but she was much more skilled with a wand.

Sunako didn't even pay attention to Nobody. She was a shaking piece of nothing that wasn't worth Sunako's time or magic. Much like a lot of the girls in this school. And this school was known for teaching the black arts. That would have made her laugh if her training had not killed all her laughter not too long ago.
