The mess hall was easy to find—by the time he had dropped his things off in his room dinner time had rolled around, and all he’d had to do was follow a scrawny younger student to the main hall. From there he was guided by the dull roar of so many conversations held in an echoing space. He stood in the doorway for almost a full minute, sharp eyes scanning the sea of unfamiliar faces. Every so often he would spot someone who reminded him of someone from back home.
He came fully into the hall and turned to head towards the food queue. A scent caught his attention, then. It was crisp, and it was floral, and Kyo knew exactly to whom it belonged. He found her just a moment after-- she had gotten leaner, and her hair was longer than he remembered, but it was definitely her.
He whistled through his teeth—a short, high-pitched blast of sound to catch her attention—and called for her. “Hey! Baratoge!”

Kazari blinked at the sudden odd noise, and her brow furrowed at hearing her name called. The voice sounded familiar. She turned around, spotted the speaker, and let out a joyous squeal, jumping to her feet and running at the young man. She leapt up and threw her arms around his neck.
“Kyo-kun! Missed you have been by this Kazari!”

Kyo took her momentum and spun her around, hugging her back with an expression that managed to be at once both stoic and pleasant. He chuckled lightly. “Did you, now?” He untwined Kazari’s arms from his neck and held her out at arm’s length, giving her a once over.
“You still have your freckles—that’s good, I missed those.” He looked up, glancing behind his old neighbor. If Kazari was here, then Gussumaru…
Of course, he would not complain if he found that Gussumaru was absent. Maybe he had been enrolled in a different school.

Kazari giggled, a happy blush tingeing her cheeks. She tucked her hair behind her ears and beamed up at the taller boy. “What brings you to Dunehelden, this Kazari wonders.” She tipped her head to one side. Kyosuke didn’t smell of magic, and his body heat voided any possibility of him being a vampire. That left being a Hunter, or a shapeshifter. Kyo didn't have the same wild vibe that Kazari got from her shapeshifting peers. The thought of Kyo being a hunter certainly made the most sense, but...

A snarl ripped through the main hall as a huge wolf burst through the doors. Shreds of a uniform were clinging to its fur and a backpack was beating against its back.
Gussu made a dead run for Kyo, he figured if people didn't get out of the way of a rampaging 300 pound wolf that was just Darwinism doing its thing. He made a horrible mix between a bark and a snarl as he jumped for Kyo.

Kyo's peripheral vision caught Gussu the moment he entered-- the reveal was none too subtle. Very Gussumaru in style. Kyo took a easy step forward and to the side, letting his body weight swing on a point until he stood on Kazari's other side, one arm draped delicately over the girl's shoulders. He tapped his fingertips on her collarbone and smiled at his old childhood companion.
"Hello there, Gussu. Tell me, how was your time here at Dunehelden? I know I enjoyed my entire year back home with Kazari to pal around with."

Gussu fumed for a second growling as he thought. He paced back and forth staring angrily at Kyo across the table. Then it hit him, he'd just hit Kyo.
Gussu backed away from the table slightly and then at a full run slammed into it. He began the change halfway through the throw. Wolf shoulders and head impacting the table became human Gussu grabbing the table in motion and launching it at Kyo and Kazari. "EAT TABLE ICE BOY!!"

Kazari turned to face Gussu just as the table reached her. The tabletop cracked flat against her forehead, snapped in two, and flew behind her in two separate pieces, one of which slammed into Kyo and knocked him to the ground.
Kazari, whose head had snapped back at the impact, raised her head slowly to look at Gussu again. She seemed completely unphased, despite the thin rivulet of blood working its way slowly from her eyebrow tot he bridge of her nose.
"Gussu," her countenance slowly became slightly upset, "WHY would you throw a table at this Kazari?!"

Gussu for once was unphased by Kazari's displeasure. "I didn't throw a table at just you Kazari. I through at at you AND Kyo, it was IMPORTANT I had to prove something and I did."
Gussu crossed his arms focusing on Kyo. "Did you see what happened there snowman? Kazari was beast, and epic and manly and took a table like I'm assuming a small unarmed child could take one of your womanly blows. And you, you fell like so much pathetic fail of human when confronted with just a little bit of cast stone in the face! Kazari doesn't need that! Kazari needs a real man who when they are standing together and are confronted by heavy flying object will still be standing by her when the flying heavy object has done its worst!" He ended with his chest stuck out and his hands on his hips, a triumphant look on his face.

Kazari huffed. She wasn't sure how to respond to that. Gussu was probably insinuating something, but it was then that she noticed Gussu's particular mode of dress.
Meaning: none.
Kazari arched one eyebrow and her hands flew to her face. Not out of shame, but the fact that she had gone her entire child being used to having conveniently-placed obstructions of vision whenever thread-less Gussu was involved, and the absence of that now had her trying to hold back bubbling laughter.

Gussu was confused for a second and then looked down, Oh. He looked up at Kazari again and back down and then up again, wait a second she was laughing! "Hey!" he barked. He punched a passing freshman in the face and swiped their coat as they fell, wrapping it around his waist.
"Hey," He tried again "Kazari! Why are you laughing, what's funny? I don't understand!"

Kazari regained her regular breathing pattern, managing to shake her head and speak. "No. No, this Kazari is not laughing at her Gussu. This Kazari is--kekekeke!-- is laughing at--ow, ow, ow, ow--"
A bit of blood had gotten into her eye and sobered her up pretty quickly. She rubbed at that eye, still fighting back chuckles.
"Ah... you've, ah...." She grinned. "Hi there, Gussu."

Gussu closed the distance between them and smiled shamelessly as he threw his arm around her shoulders. "Hi Kazari" He kicked Kyo away as nonchalantly as he could.
"So you wanna ditch this place and go see a movie? There's this awesome one right now where a bunch of WOMANLY snowmen try to take over the world and there's a flame-thrower involved. I think it's relevant to current events and would be a good... cultural ... experi.. oh fuck it. Come with me?"

Kazari puffed out her cheeks and raised her eyebrows.
"Consent will this Kazari, if the Gussu will be putting on clothing." She bent and helped Kyo to his feet. "Would Kyo be coming?"

"Kyo, hmmm nooo. You see..." As Kyo began to stand again Gussu kicked at piece of debris with his heel into his knees. He smiled as sweetly as he could as Kyo crumbled to the floor again. "Kyo is very dizzy today and needs to go have a lie down."

"Ah, oh....okay." She quirked her mouth to one side. "The Kyo should be taken to the Sick Bay, aye?"

"Owowowowowowowowowow!!" Julien whined with a disgruntled smirk on his lips. This was a great way to start off his first day at school. He tried to pick himself out of the table that he was punched into. (Hint: Julien being the random freshman) God, that hurt!!! He hadn't been expecting that, and he couldn't block and and owwwwww . . . Julien shakily lifted a hand and pointed at Gusu. "ummm, wolf-person, May I have my jacket back. . . please?" Julien smiled brightly at the wolf-being.

"Oh fine, I guess so... um.. JAEBI!! If you take the ice princess over there to the sick bay I promise you that you won't see a plushie for a whole week."
He turned at the sound of the freshman's voice. "Oh! Uh sorry about that.. I don't usually punch people for no reason, promise. It's Kyo, he brings out the worst in me. So really it's his fault, you should tell a teacher that he messed with you, don't worry I'll back you up." He smiled as brightly as he could threw the freshman back his jacket and ripped off Kyo's half-sweater, wrapping it around himself.

Jaebi, who up until this point had had his face buried in his arms to muffle his laughter, pulled himself upright and stood.
"Are you okay," he asked the boy Gussu had injured.
To Kyo, he made a tsking noise as he pulled him to his feet.
"Is this going to be a regular occurrence, Gussu?"

Julien slowly got up and shook his head to clear it. "I think I'm good" he answered Jaebi with a charming smile, "Thank you for asking." Julien put his outrageously large jacket back on in one fluid motion and shuddered. "I still don't like these 'clothes'," he muttered to himself. Julien looked at Gussu and asked, "Wouldn't that be a lie, I thought those were bad. Unless, you are this 'Kyo'?" Julien suddenly realized all the friggin people that were around him. He got a little nervous and his smile weakened a little. "I-I think that meetings are in order." His smile broadened. "I'm Julien, and who are all you people, assuming you are people?"
