Kanashii exited the classroom in time to see the boy with the funny hat hit the floor. His stomach let out a large ear piercing groan for food giving all around a cause for pause, even the bullies. However the attention grabbing was short lived and everyone went back to their own business with minimal snickering in the background. What was it with the food at this place, everything he ate here only kept him satiated for about 45 minutes. After that he was always starving. He would have to run back to his dorm room and grab a piece tack...several pieces of tack before continuing his day. He would be late again.

ic: Lovetta walked into teh cafeteria and watched in horror as demon boys began fighting with the boy that Renu had helped pass by. Wouldn't those demon boys ever leave anyone alone!?!?!??! Enraged she dropped her books and ran over to the demon boys. Standing in front of the strange masked boy like a shield she spoke, "Stop bothering him!!! You guys like Renu right??? Well she hates violence! Especially when someone picks on someone with less power than them!!! So I suggest you back off or I'll kick your dark, dirty, butts!!!" she yelled fiercely.

Her strange yellow eyes began to glow with rage as it began to bubble up inside her. Her eyes must have been teh last touch because after a bit of murmuring teh demon boys finally decided to leave. She smiled confidently then turned to the strange boy and said plainly to his shocked and blood stained face "You're welcome."

Then she called to a healer. "Hey Lena (just a random character for teh moment)! Can you heal this boy??? He needs healing!" Lena quickly ran over and healed the strange boy. then Lovetta turned back to him.

"So... Are you okay??? Feeling better???" She asked amused by his blank, surprised face.

Nana squealed when she saw the young man hit the floor. Then another girl came and healed him...

She walked over to the girl and kneeled down beside the boy. "Is there anything I can do to help?"

"I'm okay now, thanks to you Lovetta." Ulquiorra said as he hugged her, "I owe you one." Ulquiorra said. He turned to see the other girl, "Thank you for your concern, I just need to go get my lunch now, good bye." Ulquiorra said as he left. After he ate his lunch, Ulquiorra went to his last class, art.

Nana hated, she decided, that she hated being the new girl. She skipped lunch and hurried to her next class. She was disgusted that her grandfather had signed her up for art class, she had no art skills at all. Sitting alone at a table in the back of the room, hoping that by some miracle she would blend in and no one would bully her.

Ulquiorra noticed the same girl he saw before at lunch, "Hi my name is Ulquiorra, what is your name?" Ulquiorra asked the new girl next to him.

ic: Lovetta smiled as the strange boy thanked her.

Later
Lovetta walked into art class. She smiled. Finally!!! A class she actaully enjoyed. Art made her feel so, so, so, free!!! She suddenly spotted the boy she had saved during Lunch. She walkd over to hi and held out her hand.

"Hi! I'm Lovetta. Yoiu never did tell me your name." she said softly.

"I'm Ulquiorra, Miss Lovetta. I've known you for about a year now, that includes Miss Renu as well." Ulquiorra bowed when he saw Lovetta. "Thank you again for helping me." Ulquiorra said.

Nana blushed, she had been noticed. "My name is Nana Norcom..." she covered her face and turned away. Why would anyone talk to her?

Ulquiorra looked at Nana, "Nana Norcom, nice name." Ulquiorra said.

"R-really?" she asked, turning to him. "I always thought it sounded strange!"

ic: "Thank you." Lovetta replied blushing. "Can I sit next to you?" she continued. "Do youn like art?" she added.

"It's a nice name." Ulquiorra said to Nana.

"You may sit near me if you like." Ulquiorra said to Lovetta, "I don't know I guess I like art, I just try my best at it."

Nana shook her head. "I hate art, my grandfather placed me in this class. He once told me that parents and grandparents often see their children or grandchildern as images of themselves. They try so hard to raise the child to be what they could not be, so they can die with ease and no regrets. I guess he wants that for me..." Nana trailed off, she had just opened up to two people she barly knew. They must think she was totally dumb now!

"I understand Nana." Ulquiorra said.

She turned and looked at him. "You don't think that's weird?"

"No I do not." Ulquiorra said.

After Kanashii grabbed two pockets full of carru tack, he headed back to the main halls. He saw some of the demon bullies who had beat up the boy with the half helmet go into a math class. He waited for the bell to sound, watching through the window in the door. The demon boys inside had occupied a corner of the classroom, preventing others from sitting near them. The bell rang and he was about to enter but then heard the teacher go into his lecture. It was basic math and Kanashii couldn't stifle his uncharacteristic out burst of laughter. The teacher of the class stopped his lecture and poked his head out the door, "What is so funny that you interrupt my class Kanashii?" he asked.

It was difficult for him to get the words out through his laughter, but he forced them anyway, "Those guys are seniors!"

The teacher rolled his eyes and slammed the door shut. After Kanashii's fit of laughter laughter passed, he decided to find another class to enter.

The teacher responded

ic: “Ohhh…� Lovetta sadly replied when she heard that Ulquiorrio didn’t really enjoy Art. She had really hoped that there would be people in this class that actually enjoyed Art and weren’t here just because all the other classes were full or because of their parents or grandparents. She sighed and then sat down next to Ulquiorro.

Ulquiorra heard Lovetta sigh, "What's wrong?" He asked.

ic: "Nothing." Lovetta replied. "It's just... Nevermind." Lovetta so desperately wanted to tell someone her secret but she knew she had to hide it. It was just so hard. To hear people scoff at her kind. To hear hunting stories. It was just so sickening. Sometimes she wished it wasn't a secret and sometimes she wished the other half of her didn't even exist. She began to melancholily play with a strand of her siny, slithery, beautiful, silvery hair as she sadly cast her sad yellow eyes down.

"I see...if you don't want to tell me, it's okay." Ulquiorra said. "After all, we are all monsters inside and out. I used to be a soul eating monster but I was changed for a better purpose."

ic: Lovetta laughed slightly and 1/4 of a smile appeared on her face. After all, we are all monsters inside and out. continued echoing in her head. how true it was. why! If only he knew! She'd tell him eventually. She'd just have to learn to trust him. Soul eating monster huh?

Ulquiorra looked at her when she laughed. He could tell she was smiling. Ulquiorra zipped up the rest of his coat to cover the big hole near his neck. Ulquiorra made a Hollow's Mask with clay. It looked very scary.

Monsters? Nana heart stopped when she heard this term. She didn't think of herself as a monster, she had hoped this place would protect her from being called that, but why had he said that!? And about himself,too!
