Not even 24 hours within the new place he would soon call home and already going to the local colleges to sign up for classes. He’d known he’d need to take a English class as well, he did not speak it so well at all. He’d known the language but it was the matter of speaking it that he found difficult. The streets seemed to zoom by as the driver was taking him along streets and highways and traffic to finally reach downtown and then towards the educational facilities. The driver didn’t speak much, and even if he did he most likely failed to hear him as he was listening to his IPod. The comfortable sounds of home sprang in his ears. The tune of Gazettes comfortable tones seemed to take the edge of nervous behavior from his form. He’d have one leg parched up into the seat whilst the other was upon the floor board. He took in the city sights as he’d watch the streets end and pulled into a parking lot after reading the name of the institution of learning, his hand slide along the silver handle of the door. The limo hopefully didn’t catch to many eyes and even if it did hopefully a big scene wouldn’t be caused, It wasn’t like he was a movie star or anything just his parents were rather wealthy but no one here would know of that, to these people he was whoever he wanted to show them he was. The driver would step out of the car and then open his door. His right first stepped from the car and touched the black top below him with a low pop of his shoe meeting the ground. His body would follow next as his eyes squinted adjusting to the bright day light traveling now fully out of the car that took him here.
“I will wait here Mr. Yoshida until you get back”
“Sank yhou rarph, I be backu suen[/b]”
His accent sometimes very thick and hard to understand but he was trying to speak in their native tongue as he knew no one here would ever take the time to learn his. He’d sigh as he walked away from the driver who only nodded at him. He’d slowly make his way through the concrete paths up to the building, He’d noticed a few would gather and whisper about him, yet he wasn’t saying anything nor paying any attention assuring himself it was most likely wondering who he was or the sorts. Americans usually so nosey about things new to them or things they were not so familiar with. He’d let his right hand reach forwards on the door and grip the handle as he used the weight and force of his arm to open it. Like at home the familiar smell of school filled his senses causing him to stop in the door way and take in his surrounding yet again.

Bernie sighed as she walked to the schools doors, she hated it and thought she was done with it all but no she to take English. What the heck she spoke it everyday but apparently not good enough for everyone else. She wore a long black doll baby dress only with stripped stalkings and boots to go with it. This week her hair happened to be dark blue at the roots and started to take lighter shades of blue till it was ice blue at the tips.
She saw they were opened by some boy as she rushed passed him. "Sorry I'm Late!" She said as she ran looking for her class "Darn it to hell and back again" She said as she reliazed a little too late she just got herself lost...again. "Well if I miss class today I will be in so much trouble Kisa will be disappointed" Bernie said to herself in that little know it all voice she did from time to time

He’d feel a body pass by him all to quick almost knocking into him, almost waking him from the daze he was in such a familiar strange place. Sighing as he looked down at the transcript and read the paper in his hands as he looked around and seeing his father had already done his classes for the semester at least meant he no longer needed to do the whole signing up or registration he just had to go to class. His eyes fell however upon that of the running girl only to read the room name of his class and then begin to walk aimlessly not so much in a hurry as he wondered where his class was. He’d look at the time, realizing he was going to be late to his class and growled a bit from his lips.
“waru baka anata wa .. ore ni[/b]” (those not Japanese speakers.. wow I am stupid.. going to be late) He’d whisper of course to himself as his hand gripped the yellow bag on his shoulders and then began to run down the hall about as fast as he could, trying to catch the girl maybe she knew where the room would happen to be, she couldn’t have been that far away of course using his more agile and martial arts trained body to weave through the hall a bit faster than well as out of shape human would run, he wasn’t lightning quick except maybe in his reflexes but his running was a humans normal speed maybe a click or two faster just because of his athletic build. He’d kept his running up trying to shout to the lady that seemed to be ahead of him.
“Oi… Oi … need help... finding cass room... I no find[/b]”
His heavy Japanese accent trying to catch the girls attention to see if she had at least a little time to help him as she had to know where to go, she was American and native to the place. This of course is what he thought as was the case, hoping the girl would stop if even for a moment. His running would cause his breathing to pick up quickly even if he breathed correctly it would labor some just from the elevated heart rate.

Bernie turned around and looked at the man running after her she stopped and waited for him. She took a deep breath and saw she was on the wrong hall she turned right instead of left. Hits her forehead realizing what a ditz she was. She straighten her dress and started to tie a bow in her hair to set off the outfit.
She sighed as she wished her would hurry up and get to her. She had to backtrack a bit and head to the right hall. Lifting the bag on her shoulder and letting it settle right on her shoulder as she tapped her foot. 'I am going to be late' She thought 'He needs to hurry the bloody hell up. If I am late again...' Bernies thoughts trailed off as she started to walk towards him at a slow pace.

As she would come to a stop he would have caught up to her easily, the bell had yet to ring yet but in about 5 minutes it would. He’d look at her as he slumped over drew in a breath and then let it slowly so it’d calm his entire person, his heart would slow back down at a gentle rate, his breath would soften and he’d look at the female and then let a smile filter upon his lips
“herro rooking for Engrish 109... somewhere in zis buirding[/b]”
He’d whisper to her letting his finger tips glide over the paper as he stood there and leaned against a wall, only hoping she would know where the class was. His eyes glimmered in hers, a gentle golden hue flashed around the pupils from the high skylights showing off the weird specs in his dark brown color. His hair slide along his gentle face and caressed against his cheeks pinned by the beanie atop his head.
“Oi.. oh.. I sorry … I am Yoshida Kusaji[/b]”
He’d speak to her and hold his hand out to her offering it to her in a chance meeting. His lips stilled unemotionally and studied her but for a second. His shoulder moved causing the strap of his yellow back to ride higher upon his body and stop from sliding off. His body kicked off from his leaning position to a upright position to greet her the way he thought Americans usually greeted each other he tried studying a lot of the American customs and only hoped he was doing justice to their culture.

Bernie took his hand and shook it. " I am Bernice Johnson but you can call me Bernie for short you know." She said as she looked at him. "Hay that is a class I am sitting in to 'learn' something I guess..." SHe said as she shook her head dropping his hand.
"This way Yoshida...Is that your first name?" She said as her nose twitched a bit for a scent she never smelt before. She had a look cross her face one of curiosity as it settled in her eyes. She nodded to him as she moved farther down the hall and went straight as she went down the hall. She then took the second left as she looked behind her watching him, she stopped in front of the door and tapped her foot.

As she took his hand he’d feels a different current path of energy almost a exchanging of chi force between the two touches, his face twisted into a puzzled look almost to figure what indeed caused the shift and exchange of energies, maybe it was just his focus that tied him into the meditated state of noticing every new energy flow around him, as a martial artist its taught to always be conscious of energies it was easier to tell what type of setting one was in
“Bernie… B.. er..nie, a name of poetry[/b]”
His lips formed her name and nodded some getting the sound down at least what he figured was correctly, as soon as she dropped his head he memorized her short edition of her name it seemed almost interesting to form the syllables in his head and shook it free again. Then he watched her step away and began the trek to the classroom. She would quickly realize that he stayed easily by her, or maybe only a half step behind to make sure he didn’t try and get ahead of her and loose her if she ditched down a hall to quick, as she stopped by the door his hand touched the knob and turned it with a flick of his wrist and pull back opening the door for her and let his hand keep the door open.
“No… My name is… Kusaji… or Kusa for short… and radies first[/b]”
She’d still hear his heavy accent as he just now was in America for a little while. He’d let his hand rest on the back of his neck and then let a quick breath; he could feel something different around him almost a feint electrical spark around the presence. He only looked around for it and quickly dismissed It at the same time shaking his head to release the odd feeling. His frame stood waiting for her to enter the class just as the bell would ring. The class seemed to have just now getting into order and shrugged some
“Looks like we made it just in time Bernie[/b]”

Bernie looked at him and wished for the first time in a long time she looked her age not like a 12 year old girl. She wondered what Kisa would think if she asked if she could get breast implants at lest. Maybe at lest let her go to a b-cup. She shook her head slightly as she walked and stopped by him.
" I think we did Kusa" she said as she walked passed him. "And thank you for opening the door for me. that was very Gentlemanly of you." She stated as she walked passed him and headed to the back of the class. That was her favorite spot she can see the board very well but was out of the eyes of anyone else. She sighed as she dropped her bag and pulled out her lap top to take notes.
Her eyes started to close as she realize she should of played sick. She is so tired cause she got so caught up in the book she was reading that she lost track of time. Bernie sighed as she looked around waiting for the class to start she really didnt want to be there.

He’d catch her words and smiled some at her however as he walked in behind her as his eyes looked about the class walking up as well to the back of the class he’d slide the yellow bag out and then looked around, the people seemed to follow him with his eyes. The teacher at the head of the class room only began his opening day speech, welcoming everyone to class and then passed back a syllabus outlining the entire semester of his course. He’d get his copy after sitting and then passed Bernie a copy as well. He’d open his laptop and then turned it on popping out the DVD he had in from his flight putting it away. The liquid like graphics on his laptop seemed to shift into 3D versions; obviously the computer was something unlike most would have seen. His hand slid over the clear keys illuminated in green LCD’s. The silver case painted with a holographic kitsune at various stages of their growth. The mouse pad had a large fox face holographic around it. He’d put his thumb on the print detector and it would activate for him loading up a different type of boot screen opening multiple applications whirred on the screen. He’d smirk looking at the teacher the whole time as he didn’t want this class to be long, so going through the schools grids and power sources seeing most modern day systems was all controlled by computers. The speech was boring and beginning to wear his mind even more, almost to a point of overload, he would sigh some and then all a sudden the fire alarm would go off and next the lights started flickering. The teacher was rather alarmed and then hurried and assigned the first piece of homework which was simple read over a section in the book then do the lesson at the end of the section just then the sprinklers went off causing him to smirk some.
“Class is Dismissed until they can fix this”
He’d get up and put away his laptop and also had it to run this program for 10 minutes, the class room sprinklers weren’t on so no one in the room was wet at all. He’d slide out of his seat and shrugged class was over quickly. Looking over at Bernie, truth told he didn’t mind her 12 year old looks as well it was pretty normal in Japan, the girls always looked younger than they were.
“Seems, free dayku… where good food place at?[/b]”
His brown eyes sparkled down looking upon her as if asking her two questions in one. To ask her if she’d like to accompany him to food and of course to see her tastes in food or something that he would experience as new being raised in Japan, Japanese food was all he knows he wanted something new. He wasn’t a shy male, in fact he was the very opposite quite confident and assured of himself.

Bernie let out a small yelp when the alarm went off. "Not today" She said as she closed her laptop never turning it on as she slipped it and the syllabus in to her bag as she sighed at everything till she her Kusa talk. "Sure there are a few things around here but I dont know what I want. Do you have any idea of what you would like. There is a burger place down the street and they have great milkshakes..." She said in a sing song voice she had from time to time.
Standing up as she started to pull down her skirt, smiling a sly smile as her eye scanned the area around her. She wondered what to do with the day. Maybe should could go scare some people in the park...no it is too bright out there and then animal control would be call and that would be too much. Picking her bag as she looked back at him, her blue eyes seemed to turn to a cobalt blue as she smiled at him.
Her nose twitched again as she sniffed the air, she covered it up with a sneeze. Pulling a handkerchief out of her pocket and placing it to her nose. "I am sorry I think it is the pollen in the air that is getting to me and then the dust in here." She said quickly to cover it up, that scent what the hell was it. Bernie bit her lip as she frowned slightly she would find out if that was the last thing she did.
