"Alright, class is dismissed. Remember that all retests must be taken before the end of the week or the original grade will become permanant."
Murmurs sounded through the small class as one by one, everyone began to stand and pack their belongings. And as always there was one student that was the first to exit. Toshiya moved out of the classroom with semi-quick steps. He was dressed in the usual attire, jeans and a simple black sleeveless shirt. The casual attire didn't give away any event that would call for him to be in such a hurry. He looked over his shoulder as he rounded the corner to go straight for the exit only to be stopped by an all too familiar face. Mr. Gerstein. Toy sighed and leaned agaisnt the wall trying to keep the disappointment off of his face. "Ah, Mr. Sengoku, so nice to have caught you." The man greeted him with a serpentine grin. Toy didn't bother returning it. Gerstein already knew that the friendly youth didn't like him for obvious reasons. The man knew that Toy wasn't human, a lycan of some kind as far as the teacher knew, and he had been pressuring the teen into giving him a sample. Just something to 'quench his curiosity'.
"Can I help you? I'm sorta in a rush." Toshiya said lightly. As always his voice was soft neither young or old or overly masculine. In fact, if it wasn't for the obvious flat chest, the long braid of hair and slender build would have labeled him as a female. "Have you reconsidered?" Toy's eyes drooped watching the excitement in the man's eyes. The only person he had ever given blood to willingly was Sheridan for his tattoo. He wouldn't be caught dead giving his blood to this man. "No...good night." Toshiya stated slipping pass him. He sensed the man's hand coming up to grab him but only had to look at him once to make him rethink the answer. He didn't need a fully powered werefox pissed off at him.
With that done, Toshiya continued one his way wondering how he was going to spend the rest of his night. He had a few nights to study and only a few assignments to finish. He absently looked over to the stores at his side. His light brown gaze settled on a resturant that wasn't too full considering that it summertime. He slipped in nodding to the waitresses that glanced his way. He found an empty table just beside a dark haired young woman and took his seat though he almost thought twice about it upon seeing her pull ciggerettes. Toy couldn't remember the last time he smoked, which was good. He mentally shrugged and took the seat. His smoking was more stress induced rather than being an addiction. He smiled as one of the waitresses came asking if he wanted anything.
"Ice Tea, please....and maybe a slice of pie." He said. As the woman walked away, he began pulling out one of his books and a pen. Placing them on the table, he started to reach for his paper when he heard his pen roll off of the table to roll across the ground. Looking down, he scanned the floor to find where it had landed.

Akane chuckled at the whimpering pleas from Hikaru as he headed home to torture the weaker spirit. They both knew that Akane couldn't physically hurt him but the dominate personality had become skilled in the fine art of emotional pain where the other was concerned. Akane smiled up at the nearly full moon, it would be a few days yet but he was going to be sure to spend at least part of the night watching the full moon ride in the sky.
He turned his attention back to the street as a group of mostly young men and women came from one of the more conventional buildings adorning the street. A blond man with a skate board caught his eye and he smiled as he watched the man take off alone down the street. He was just about to follow the man and convince him to come home with him when a thin, young man walked out of the door. He smelled... different. Not a vampire but not a human either. Weird. Akanes interest peeked and he started following the boy, forgetting all about the skater making his way father away.
After several blocks the others in the group had drifted away and the boy was making his solitary way down the sidewalk. He want in a small cafe and Akane crossed the street and entered the place in time to hear the strangers soft, young-sounding voice ask for iced tea and a slice of pie. He started rummaging in his bag laying out a book and pen and reaching for something else when his pen made a break for it. Akane stepped forward and picked the errant pen up as the boy started scanning the floor for it.
"You dropped something," Akane spoke from behind the boys shoulder as he held the pen forward by it's tip, offering it to the seated male and stepping forward. "Mind if I have a seat?" Akane felt Hikaru's confusion at his almost-cautious approach. Akane was never this polite, never and Akane's mouth quirked in a slight smile as he felt the first stirrings of worry for him from Hikaru. The situation was vastly ironic, Hikaru worrying for him, who had caused him so much grief.
Akane shrugged in dismissal of Hikaru's concern and waited for the younger mans answer his curiosity running rampant.

Toshiya searched the floor with a slight frown. Why was it that the pens were always the ones that managed to get lost so quickly? It was an answer that he would never learn. He flopped back on his seat with a huff only to have the pen in question offered back to him. He blinked owlishly at the offered writing utensil for a moment before twisting slightly to see who was the one giving it back. He didn't recognize him but he could sense that he was related to Zslasher vaguely. Maybe a great-great grandchilde? "Oh...thank you." He finally spoke realizing that he had been silent for a while. He took the pen gratefully before putting it securely back in place.
"Sure go ahead." He said waving a hand towards the empty seat across from him. Toy had never been an antisocial creature. In fact, he made it somewhat of a pastime to get to know his family members the best he could. He waited for the young man to sit down before he spoke again. "My name is Toshiya Marcellus." He introduced himself with a friendly smile.

Akane nodded slightly at the teens invitation and slid easily into the seat as the other introduced himself. Akane's brow quirked with a slight smile as the other introduced himself. "I'm Akane." He paused slightly his curiosity getting the best of him. "If you don't mind my asking. What are you? You smell funny.
The same waitress that had just left the table came back with a smile and asked if Akane wanted anything. He gave her his best bad boy grin, "You. Out back. After your shift." She blushed a pretty shade of pink and hurried away as Akane chuckled softly returning his attention to Toshiya

Toshiya nodded at the name given. Naturally, he remembered everyone that he had ever met in his life, if not vaguely, since he came to Ravenblack. He kept the friendly smile on his face until Akane asked his question. In his year of being in the city it still posed to be a strange statement that one smelled funny. Instead of checking himself of body odor, Toy cocked his head. Well he knew he had taken a shower earlier so it wasn't that kind of 'funny'. "Werefox." He answered once he got over the strangeness of the question. Just as he did, he turned his gaze to the waitress that came over.
He watched silently as the two spoke before looking back to book to skim over one of the paragraphs. When he heard the woman then walk away, he glanced back up to Akane. "So...you're new to the city?" He asked. The smelled like a relatively new vampire more or less.

As the boy tilted his head Akane realized how his question must have sounded and he ducked his head slightly embarrassed for having been so rude. But Toshiya answered right before the waitress walked up. As she left again Akane bowed his head slightly letting his hair fall in a fringe over his eyes, giving him the illusion of hiding. "I'm sorry, I didn't think how that would sound before I said it. I'm usually not that rude unintentionally. I do hope you'll forgive me." For once Akane was sincere in his apology, he was usually polite when not thinking about being impolite. Then he thought about the males answer. 'A werefox? I didn't think wereanything was real. But then I didn't think vampires were real either.' Akane thought with a wry smile.
"So...you're new to the city?" Toshiya asked and Akane nodded slightly. "Yeah, I guess I've been here about seven or eight months maybe. I'm not sure, but I was only recently sired. There's so much to this city that humans don't have a clue about. There are rumors of course, but none of them compare to the truth." Akane chuckled again thinking of some of the rumors he had heard of an elite form of the Italian mob that ran the city.

Toshiya smiled as Akane tried to apologize for the question. He shook his head remembering the times he had commented on how someone smelled. "Its alright, I don't mind." He turned his gaze to the waitress as she returned with his order. He thanked her and waited for her to leave before commenting on what the vampire said about the city. "Yeah alot of people come not knowing what they're getting into." He stated. He had met a few humans like that.
"Its not that bad here though...well from my experience." Toy shrugged lightly before taking a piece from his slice of pie. It was good. He placed the plate to the side so that he didn't take up more than his side of the table. Closing his book, he moved his glass. "So how are you enjoying yourself in the city so far?" He asked in an attempt to make conversation.

Akane mentally shook his head, this was crazy, he was sitting here trying to make small talk with some kid. Sure the guy smelled funny so what? Tons of people smelled funny in a city. He sighed softly, he would be much more comfortable killing something slowly but his thoughts never turned to luring his companion somewhere dark where no one would hear a scream. 'Hell, even if I did try something like that on him he'd probably run my ass down the street and back just for kicks.' Akane sighed, propping his head in his hand as he surveyed the crowd trying to distract himself.
"Yeah," he answered dully, "It's been quiet interesting so far." The bell rung signaling a large group leaving clearing the place until only ten or twelve people were scattered through the room. Akane suddenly caught a scent he recognized but couldn't place. He turned his head his eyes scanning for the source. "What the hell is it?" He asked himself with confusion, turning back to Toshiya. 'Heck he's a werefox' he said to himself,' Foxes are suppose to have a good nose... right?'
Without thinking further about it he asked softly. "Maybe it's just me but do you smell something weird?" Akane asked warily.

Toshiya continued taking pieces off his pie while taking the occaisional sip of his drink. He wasn't sure what was going on in the other male's mind but could hardly say he was worried. While he was a bit on the submissive side, he was more than capable of taking care of himself now...so sayth his sire. He finished the last piece of pie then pushed the small plate to the side and out of the way. "Ah."
He nodded lightly before looking around the Lounge slowly at the mention of a smell. Frowning he surveyed the room with both his eyes and nose. There was a smell but he didn't know what it could be. Wrinkling his nose, he gave a shrug. "I dunno...." He said matching the soft tone of the vampire. "Guess we should either leave or find out, ne?" He offered. With that, he picked up his book and slipped it back into his bag.

((OOC: Sorry, but it's just becoming to much trouble to write in third person, old habits die hard I guess.))
I wrinkled my nose as the smell continued to tease me and my head tilted to one side as I tried to identify the stupid scent. "Guess we should either leave or find out, ne?" My eyes refocused on my company and I nodded in distraction, "Yea, let's find out what it is." I glanced up at him with a wicked smile hoping for some fun, or trouble, depending on how you looked at it.
I directed my eyes around the room trying to follow where the scent might be coming from with little success.
