First Day For This Varronite(Open)

[koenig]

(It seemed like any normal day today. the sun was shining and everyone seemed to be in a somewhat good mood. Everyone except me of course. I was in a very bad mood at the moment because today was my first day at this new school known as hircine high.

As I walked up the steps I could hear the whispers coming from the people around me. They all seemed to be suspicious of us varron students. That was something that did not brood very well with me due to the fact i was a varronite student. The main reason This made me uneasy was because now I would be a target just because of the school I had come from.

Tying my long red hair up into a ponytail i walked into the school and looked around. I didn't look out of place at least, I was dressed in my casual attire of torn blue jeans, a sleevless blue jean jacket and a black muscle shirt. Popping a toothpick into my mouth i looked down at my class list and locker number.

Walking to my locker I opened it up and threw my binders into it, My first class was P.E. Something I figured I was not in the mood to do today. Walking through the hallways without a care in mind I looked around the school. It was so different from my old school, at varron there would be students fighting around every corner. Yet here everything seemed in order almost.)

"This is going to be a boring school year I bet"

(I said to myself as i continued to walk down the hall. as i continued to walk I was pushed from behind hard. Stumbling forward I turned around with a look of anger in my eyes, only to see a group of three big burly looking fellows probably from the football team. The one who pushed me seemed to have a look of disgust on his face)

jock: "you must be one of those low life varron scum, so let me and my friends formaly welcome you"

(He said with a smile on his face. Shaking my head I turned around)

"not today kid"

(I said as i began to walk away. Suddenly I lurched forward from the punch that hit me in the back of the head. Turning around with a glare I stared at the person who had just hit me)

jock: "don't turn your back on me you piece of shit"

(He said in anger as he cocked his fist to throw another punch. Stepping forward with my left foot I threw a hard right cross that connected with his chin knocking out a couple of teeth and sending him flying backwards to lay on the ground in a heap. As he got up slowly I shook my head)

"why do I have to do this on my first day"

(I said as the second one hit me sqaure in the jaw with an uppercut. Stumbling backwards I brought my hands up and waited for the next assault)

[junpei]

"BRUCE GILLS!"

The voice stopped everyone mid step, except maybe Bruce, but Junpei Lee was sure he would halt as well. The jocks stopped, the crowd of people starting to gather stooped, everyone stared at Junpei Lee. This is not what Junpei wanted, not from anyone who had to do with Varron. He had already seen one fight, helped Hircinians, and even talked with their Captain what he could do to aid his Varronites in the transition. Right now Junpei was stepping up, or at least trying to, above the violence and the hatred.

"What the hell is wrong with you?"

Junpei said as he came forward, no one was moving, the jocks almost looked perplexed by the actions this Varronite was showing. Of course in retrospect anyone would have been dumbfounded by this action, all the Varronites were supposed to be cold, uncaring monsters that naturally attacked anyone just for fun. Now Junpei strode forward, his boots softly clicking on the quiet hallway. He made his way to the downed jock, standing right between the two who were early attempting to knock Bruce down. Junpei checked on the downed man, he'd need some new teeth in the front, Junpei could only sigh and shake his head.

Standing back up he he looked to the two men that were still dumbfounded by Junpei's actions.

"You two know where the nurse's station is right?"

"Yeah..."

One replied almost wearily.

"Good, could you take your friend here there? I'd love to but he's a bit big for me to carry as fast as you two could, tell the nurse he's lost three teeth, I think he may have one in the back of his throat."

No one said anything, but the football players understood life and death over petty hate. They picked up their friend and began to carry him off as Junpei turned to Bruce and the crowd of people just stared.

"What the hell is wrong with you?"

[Kit Clyner/Sky Hirano]

"Geesh. I can't believe I'm lost." A junior walked through the crowd, looking at what appeares to be a map. "How am I supposed to know what floor it's on in this stupid map." He scratched the back of his head and continued going forward. His red headband held his hair off his forehead and the excess flew back.

He looked up and saw two Hircine local students walking past him, looking like they got a good blow. He looked and saw a familiar face. He went over and waved, "Heya Bruce." He lowered his hand as he saw that there might have been something going on before he got here. He just stayed silent and listened to the conversation. He sighed and went over, wondering what had happened.

(Hearing junpe's voice I stopped and watched him. Saying nothing when he asked what was wrong with me I just watched him. The obvious anger still seen in my eyes as I stared at him.

After the two boys had picked up there friend and walked away the crowd still gathered to see what would happen now.)

"What is wrong with me?"

(I said the anger dripping from my voice)

"nothing is wrong with me junpei, I was attacked, I was verbaly berated, I was disrespected. I can go down the list of the shit that happened to me, but since I punch one of them out for hitting me from behind I am now the one who is wrong?"

(I asked him as I continued to chew on the wooden toothpick i had in my mouth. Noticing Kit I said nothing to him since I knew that junpei was obviously upset with me, and at the moment I was upset in general.)

"please inform me junpei, whatever happened to you? you were a man I confided in and trusted, a man who I thought trusted me as well, but now it seems you changed"

(I said as I leaned back on the wall behind me. I noticed the group circling us still hadn't left and at the moment I was ready to go berserk just to get them away from us)

[junpei]

Junpei didn't move, didn't acknowledge Kit Clyner or the rest of the crowd for that matter, they were about to see why Junpei was a Knight, why he was someone above all this petty hate and stupid name calling.

"What happened to me was I got above the hatred and the violence. Believe it or not I RESPECT what these students have done, what their captain has done, and what they have."

Junpei took a step forward, the boots making a loud click, his trench coat swaying slightly with the sudden movement. He stared into Bruce's eyes and Junpei's own shown true worry and fear for what was happening. He wasn't mad at Bruce, he was mad at what Varron had done to the man. Bruce could have been a normal man if he had never been to Varron, could have avoided pain and misery if he was here instead of there, but he hadn't been, and now it was to late.

"I don't care if they started it Bruce, you should be the one to step above it. Just turn the other cheek and walk away. You wanna truly show them what we Varronites are mad of? Show them that we can rise above that kind of action."

Junpei's boots made another click as he turned to face the rest of the crowd, his eyes scanning slowly back and forth, looking for anyone who would agree, no one. They were still living under that veil that all Varronites were blood thirsty and violent, Junpei would prove them wrong one way or another.

Turning to face Bruce again he stepped forward, putting five feet between them, his eyes now ablaze with that fire that he got whenever he demanded attention and the right to speak his mind.

"You think I changed? Yes I changed, I'm finally out of that hell hole. I don't have to watch my back every other second for fear I'm going to be attacked. I don't have to walk down the halls and see every person running scared from a select few fighters. I don't have to watch GOOD people be afraid. At least here some of us can carve out a new and peaceful life Bruce, I would think you'd be one to do the same."

Junpei turned on his heel and walked away, he had gotten his point across, that Bruce was supposed to be above this, to truly rise back up and be a Knight again. Junpei held fast to his peaceful ways, now it was Bruce's turn to find that same path.

(Hearing junpeis words I said nothing, I just continued to watch him. As he made his way up to me I could see in his eyes that he was not angry. Instead he looked almost worried. This unnerved me slightly since I knew junpei was always collected. This was one of the first Times I had ever seen him worried. When he was finished speaking I looked down slightly then looked back up at him)

"you may not walk around looking back for someone to pull a sneak attack on you but I still do. These kids will not accept us as one of there own, they despise us as much as half of the varron students despise each other. There will be no peace in a place like this junpei. All I want at this school is to graduate and get the fuck away from all of this, but first my old friend. I will have to survive yet another school"

(I said as a look of deep sadness passed into my eyes)

"you may respect them, but they fear us, and they hate us already. It's my first day here junpei and already I have been jumped...lets see how long it will take before this school turns into another varron, all because of the "petty hate and violence"

(I said with a tone of sadness in my voice. Sighing I continued to watch junpei before dropping my head with another sigh and looking down at the ground)
