New Awakening [Open]

[Ashley]

Ninso had just barely woke up. She was waken by the maid who lived in the mother's house. Ninso's eyes had just opened and all she saw was the sun peeking in through her curtains. The maid called to her. "Ninso. Your clothes are already set out. The house mother wishes you a good day, but she had-" Ninso had interrupted her. "I know..she had another meeting with the council of the city." The maid gave a nod and left the room, shutting the door.

Ninso stared at her school uniform. She got out of bed and decided to get dressed. She put on her uniform and brushed her long black hair. Then she tied her maroon colored bow in her hair. Then she began to head out the door, eating a granola bar on the way out. She knew that this day would be the same as any other day.

She decided to get to school faster than usual. She pushed off the ground and leaped into the air, finishing her bar. Then she landed on the rooftops of the house. She had began to run from rooftop to rooftop, trying to not be seen by anyone. Once she had stopped at the Ashvord Academy, she waited for one of the teachers to enter, before jumping back down infront of the school.

Then she looked around, making sure no others saw her, but she hadn't checked from behind. She shrugged and headed in the school, looking at all the students in the hallway. After awhile of walking in the hallways, she decided to head to her first class. She opened the metal automatic door and then she took her seat. She sat next to two immature boys and one seat behind her was empty. She sighed a bit, wishing it had been filled by someone who was less obnoxious.

It was about five minutes before one of the boys poked her. As she felt, it was to her right. She rolled her eyes before turning to the boy and speaking harshly. "What." The boy spoke back in a more annoying voice. "Calm down. I just wanted to know if you got the exam back yet." Ninso raised an eyebrown and shrugged. "I didn't seem to get one. Why?" The boy giggled a bit. "I wanted to show you my grade and compare it to yours..Hehe. And show you how a real grade looks." The boy held up a packet that had a 28% in red marker on it. Ninso almost made a angry face, but she turned away so the boy couldn't see it.

[Toshiro]

The screaming siren coming out of his alarm clock shocked Toshiro awake, it shocked him so bad he nearly hit the ceiling. "Darn! I'm going to be late!" He made a mad rush to get showered and dressed, wasn't enough time for him to grab something to eat as he darted out of the front door to school. Thankfully he lived close, as a new student it was very unfashionable of him to show up late on the first day. >>Toshiro finally arrived at the correct class room, luckily there was no teacher sitting at the desk, his eyes scanned the class room for an empty seat. Only one he could find was behind a girl who was being pestered by a fellow classmate. It looked like the male classmate was waving some sort of paper, maybe a test in front of her flaunting his good grade. The female student was hiding a clearly upset face from the boy. Toshiro made his way to the open seat quietly sitting down behind the girl. He exhaled loudly, the stressful morning he'd just had was starting to sink in as he relaxed in his seat. "At least I made it on time." He whispered to himself.

[Ashley]

Not long after the boy had put his paper down another male walked in. Ninso's attention was directed towards the male that walked in. She watched, as he sat in the seat behind her. She thought to herself. It's always a new day to meet new people I guess. With that likeable thought, Ninso faced forward, seeing he had sat down behind her and she doubted he wanted her staring at him all class period. She faced the board infront of them. It seemed as if they had five minutes to prepare for class, but Ninso used that time to ignore the two foolish boys beside her.

One tapped her shoulder again. It was the one to her left this time. They spoke a bit loud. "So Ninso, what are you doing to do today? Jump out of a window?" The other boy to her right butted in. "Or maybe jump down a flight of stairs. Haha." The boy to the left just stared at NInso with the most evilest smirk on his face. Ninso shook her head and said nothing. She just thought. Maybe I'll throw you out a window or push YOU down a flight of stairs. Usually her thoughts were her only things she could say aloud.

The boys faced forward, as a female teacher walked in. She spoke firm and demanding. "Alright. Let's begin."

Hours later..

Ninso rose out of her seat, as the old fashioned bell rang. She began to walk, but the two boys that sat next to her ended up walking beside her. She gave a cold glare at them. "What now?" The boy on her right snickered. "You dropped something." Then at that moment, Ninso looked down to her shoes and saw nothing, but the other boy swiped her book down and made it so something was on the ground. Then they walked ahead of her and out of the classroom, laughing.

Ninso spoke to herself. "How funny..real mature." She reached down to grab her book.

[Toshiro]

Toshiro tried hard to pay attention to the lecture, it was hard... His mind was racing, he had some crazy dreams the night before. On top of that the morning didn't go well at all. Besides all of that the girl seated in front of him seemed to have even worse luck. Apparently it was decided she was the one the two moron guys sitting on either side of her were going to be picking on the whole class. >>The class was finally over, Toshiro gathered his materials into his bag and got up only now noticing the two punks knocking one of the girl's books out of her hand. Laughing as they walked away, Toshiro really didn't feel like interacting with anyone today. However as the girl bend over to pick up her book he walked over. "Wow, do those two always treat you like that?" He exclaimed as he grabbed her book, handing it to her.

[Ashley]

Ninso had muttered to herself, as she had bent down to pick up her book, but another hand grabbed for the same book. She hesitated to grab it, as the other hand belonged to the male that sat behind her. She slowly rose up and grabbed her book. Then she nodded a bit, as the male had asked a question. She stayed quiet for a bit, before speaking back. "Sorry if they bothered you too. They are morons, but they have helped me before..." Ninso lied a bit. The two boys only helped her when she first got to this school two years ago. A bigger male tried to hassle her and the two boys ganged up and stopped the bigger boy. I guess they thought it was their responsibility to bully me.

She stopped thinking and looked back up at the male. She decided it would be rude to not introduce herself. "Exscuse me, I never introduced myself. My name is NInso. Are you new here? I never saw you in the previous years here." She spoke in a soothing voice. Then she crossed her arms, as she held the book. Her light brown eyes scanned the room, noticing that the other students were leaving. Then she focused back on the male.

Toshiro rubbed the back of his neck, "NInso.. Its nice to meet you. My name is Toshiro." He paused drawing a blank stare on his face until he realized she had asked him a question. "Yes actually, I'm new I was transferred." Toshiro tried to pull off a warm smile, he could see the girl was uncomfortable. Couldn't blame her, he felt just as awkward and she probably did. Toshiro felt something different in this girl, something.... He couldn't put his finger on it, but he didn't feel as uncomfortable around her as he did with most people. He figured it was a long shot, but he would try something. "Ah, seeing that I'm new here, would you mind showing me around?" He followed the question with another genuine smile.

[Ashley]

Ninso listened as the male spoke once more, this time introducing himself. His name was Toshiro. She just watched him as he spoke of being transferred. She nodded a bit. Then she looked at him, as he tried to smile. It seemed the smile sort of faded. Ninso tilted her head just a bit. Then there was a long pause. Once Toshiro spoke again, Ninso had to smile a bit and she nodded. "Of course I'll show you around. Just follow me." She loosened her grip on her book. Then she used on arm to hold the book and the other to open the door.

Once she had the door opened, she used her hand to hold it open and then she walked into the hallway, that was just half full of highschool students. Ninso looked around and then she spoke. "Well, first, this is the west hallway where all the lockers are. There are more in the east hallway.." She padded passed a few doors and lifted her hand out to them, as if they were nothing. "The doors we are passing now are just classrooms. Nothing too important." She was just about to pass the last door, when she stopped infront of a bigger door. "That is the school council room.."

One tour later.

Ninso stopped at the exit doors and then she looked around. "Well since school is over..I guess the tour is too." She looked at Torisho.

Toshiro shrugged, sure the school was a huge multistory building, yet there really wasn't much to it. He glanced over at his companion "Thats everything huh, well thanks a lot for showing me around." He felt like he should say or doing something because that awkward silence was creeping back. He turned to face Ninso "Do you live near by or?" He knew it was a stupid question, but it was the only thing he could think of saying. I mean small talk is boring, but at least it breaks up the silence.

[Ashley]

Ninso just stood there, as Toshiro spoke. Then she gave a nod with a small 'Mmhm'. She then spoke to him in a more open voice than before. "I mean..You're welcome Toshiro. It was no big deal." There it was again. That long silence. Ninso had hated that part and she had nothing to fill the silence in with. She then perked up a bit, as Toshiro had asked her another question. This one seemed to be a silence breaker. She had to think a bit. Would the mother of the house want me to say where I live? I doubt she would care. We sort of need company there any way. She gave a nod.

"I live just a few buildings from here..almost to the city." She then spoke, hating to hear just silence between them. "You can come if you want, I mean...." Ninso stopped speaking. Dammit. Good move NInso. Just tell him where you live and then invite him over too. This day is not going well.. She just gave a blank expression, awaiting to see what Toshiro would say. Then she sighed a bit and spoke again.

"I mean, you can come see if you want. It is one of the prized mansions of the city." Ninso was a good speaker at times, but infront of this boy, she stuttered and hesitated to speak. At least she knew how to cover her words up later in time.

[Toshiro]

Toshiro was intrigued, he had been getting the feeling that Ninso wasn't completely comfortable being around him. He couldn't help but be a little stunned by her offer. However, he was able to ramble off "Ah, sure... Other than school I don't have much going on. I'll go with you." Following with a another smile. Toshiro was getting a little worried, it was nice having a guide in all. He was new not only to the school, but to the whole area. What bothered him was being alone with a girl, he'd never been good at expressing his feelings. It made it hard for him to interact with women...especially women. "Everything will be fine, your overreacting...Knock it off!" Toshiro thought to himself. Shaking his head as if it would remove all those worrisome thoughts.

[Ashley]

Ninso just smiled a bit when Toshiro said he would go. She kept her feelings to herself, with her being the quiet one in the school, but outside of school she was a really fun person. She got into a position where it looked like she was about to jump, but then she looked at Toshiro and stopped. She then opened the school exit doors and began to walk out. Then she thought to herself. Dammit, I almost forgot. Normal humans don't know about Geass. So I guess we'll just have to walk. She sat up straight and began to walk.

She just stayed quiet the whole walk, trying not to seem annoying. Toshiro wouldn't be the first person to see the mansion, but he would be the first person from school to see it. Ninso just glanced back and kept walking. I wonder how a human would react if they knew I had Geass. It would be rage and war all over again. A glimpse of fire shot through Ninso's mind and she winced a bit. Not only for us Geass users, but the humans too. She frowned a bit and continued to walk.

She pointed up ahead to a large white mansion. "There it is. Not too far from here."

[Toshiro]

Toshiro was dumbfounded. The building was massive, "How many people live in there?" Toshiro exclaimed loudly. He didn't bother to shoot a glance at Ninso, his eyes still focused on the giant building that seemed to grow larger as they approached. "This girl...she must belong to an important family..To live in a place like this!" Toshiro thought to himself. Unbelievable, how poorly his day started it sure seemed like things were turning around. However there was a tickling feeling in the back of Toshiro's head. Something about this girl was a little off, the way she carried herself and how she acted in school. Very uncharacteristic of a girl her age. Toshiro shot a glance at Ninso, "I'm over thinking things again..." he whispered to himself.

[Ashley]

Ninso just looked up at Toshiro, as he asked a question about how many people lived in the mansion. She just stared at the incoming mansion. She then muttered a bit, feeling uneasy about her answer. "Um, three.. including me." It was a bit of luck. Ninso was found by a widow with no children and a motherly maid. She didn't really realize how ridiculous it sounded, that three people lived in the Mansion. She looked back at Toshiro. He seemed so amazed by his facial expressions. She didn't seem so amazed by things that big. She just looked straight, as they made it in the front of the mansion.

She gave a sigh, as she stopped in front of the long, slim black gates. There was a small box with a speaker and a small red button. Ninso felt a bit weird bringing someone else here. She pushed the red button and it beeped a bit. Then a familiar voice of her maid began to speak. "Who is it?" NInso spoke back. "Ninso. I brought a friend." The gates unlocked and opened. Ninso looked at Toshiro and spoke. "This way. Stay close, don't want you lost." She began to walk up the long, brick walk way.

She then climbed up the ten rows of steps, stopping at the door. Then she twisted the gold colored knob. She pushed open the door and it opened to a wide open room with two stair ways. Straight ahead was two openings that led to a whole other part of the mansion.

Out of one of the openings, came the maid. She was dressed in a black and white gown. She looked at Ninso and Toshiro and smiled at them both. Ninso gave a small smile back. "Hello Tsori." The maid gave a small smile and a bow. "Hello miss." She looked at Toshiro. "And hello sir."
