Hybrid on the run

New Student

Wearing a larger uniform, regular school attire Mike walks to Kuoh Academy with a spare (light grey and white) duffel bag he restored from the mine, as he does he sees some familiar faces in 2 girls from the Kendo club (A/N: I forgot their names I know 1 of them is Katase) and Aiko, one big change he notices is a big sign at school gate saying "Kuoh Academy" he looks at it in confusion but is also some how impressed he puts out a pouty lip with eyebrows raised "heh, nice" he mutters, a voice calls out from behind ???: "hey you new here?" He turns around to see his old Rival Saji, Mike: "Uh yeah i just transferred, if it wasn't for this *gestures to the sign* I probably would've gotten lost" Sachi: "well if you're new you'll need to see the student council, lucky for you I'm on my way there" he smiles then extends his right hand "I'm sachi" mike looks at the hand, smiles, looks him in they eyes then shakes his hand "Mike".

Saji takes him to the student council, as they walk through the doors Mike has some warm flashbacks of his time before the incident: how the light of sunset shun soothingly through the windows of the ORC room, how their (fake) smiles made him feel welcome all the while he was wearing a warm smile himself, he is snapped back when Sona clicks her fingers in his face. He apologises telling her was having a flashback she hands him a slip of his schedule, given he and Sachi had arrived early, Tsubaki gives him a tour, During of which they get to talking Tsubaki tells him the place used to be an all girls private school but went public around 2 to 4 years ago feinging ignorance Mike replies with a surprised tone: "Really!? Coulda fooled me, the place is big enough fit a small army 500 to 10 Hundred at least" Tsubaki chuckles "tell me you're kidding" she says, M: "No I'm serious... alright surprised more than anything".

they continue to walk 'n' talk until an all too familiar and unwelcomed voice calls out ???: "Hey Tsubaki I was looking for you" it was Kiba, his very name let alone the sight of him made Issei's blood boil, he clenched his fists but put on a fake smile when Kiba turned his attention to him, Kiba gives him a bright smile and extends his arm "my name's Kiba I'm Tsubaki's Boyfriend" Mike looks at the arm, swallowing his disdain for anyone in the ORC he looks Kiba dead in the eye then shakes his hand not letting his eyes off him, firmly squeezing his hand, kiba tells Mike he's hurting him.

Not noticing until pointed out Mike flat out apologises, Kiba states Mike as a hell of a grip Mike apologises again, almost flattered Kiba laughs it off, noticing mike's bag he asks why the duffel bag defensively Mike shrugs then tells him: it's all I've got" Kiba: "hey no offence (checks the time) alright I gotta go" Tsubakiba share a kiss Kiba to Mike: "see ya later Mike good to meet ya" Mike: "yeah you too" ('*scumbag*')" Mike thinks to himself.

Tsubaki continues the tour, Mike points out "so that was the prince of Kuoh huh?" Tsubaki face palms :"you've heard his nickname?" Mike: "eh kinda, an old friend told me about him." Tsubaki: "what was their name?" Mike: "oh I'm not good with names; Nakahara I think? I'm sorry I've got a choppy memory I really don't remember" they reach his classroom Mike thanks her for the tour then heads in.

Home room teacher being Rossweisse he introduces himself with warm, cold yet calm voice:"My name is Mike Anderson, I come from 'motor city' Detroit in the U.S. (Looks down sighing) Issei Hyodou was my best friend and I'm apeople person" a hand of a pink Haired girl raises: "are anything like Hyodou? I'm not a pervert if that's what you're asking?" The hand of glasses kid 1 of the perverted trio raises: "you'd you get that scar" Rossweisse calls him out on it but Mike dismisses it: "I work a dangerous job. sometimes injuries happen, metal and bladesmithing before anyone asks". Rossweisse tells him his seat his behind Asia and infront of Xenovia and next to Irina, he made sure his presence was non existent, to his knowledge, the 3 weren't in on the ORCs betrayal but he wasn't taking chances, he put his bag under his desk, sat down with a cold bored look. Throughout the entire class he could feel eyes on him but payed no mind.

When class breaks for lunch
All but 2 left, those being Mike and Matsuda, mike leaves but Matsuda follows almost stalking him Mike notices then hides next to corner matsuda passes and Mike comes up from behind putting him in a headlock "you've been stalking me baldy, 1 of 2 things is gonna happen: I keep squeezing and watch pass out or you tell me why the hell I'm being stalked... your choice, which is it?" Matsuda answers: "*hack* I thought you were some kind of crook. The school's been hit bad in the last 10 months" mike: "how?!" Matsuda: "1 of my friends died, I don't know how but he wouldn't drop off the face the Planet." Mike releases him:" well that so hard was it? I keep to myself You've got nothing to worry about from me" Baldy: "you said you were a people person" mike: "I lied, granted if someone wants my help I won't say no but that's beside the point" Baldy: "between us this never happened" mike agrees warning him he's bad with names then gives Buzz cut his nickname "chrome dome" Matsuda: "Chrome dome!?" Mike: "would you prefer 'Dumbass'?" Matsuda: "You son of a-" he winds back for a punch but is cut off ???: "what's going on here?" A voice and face that were as clear as day in mind though it was currently soothing, it could cut just as deep as any torture Issei endured 'Her, of all people it had to be her' Issei/Mike thought, 'the head of the fkn serpent: Rias Grimoire'.

Matsuda got pervy red faced: "oh hey red I was just showing the new kid around"
Rias: "I'm not an idiot I'll show him around, stand down" Mike became so enraged he started scratching his thigh through his pocket until it drew blood, he took a deep breath then smiled, Mike: "I was given a tour when I got here" Rias smiles: "still, I apologise on my Club members behalf " Mike smiles: "No problem" thankfully he gets away from them both, he walks around the school for the rest of break, while doing so he spots Akeno, Asia, Xenovia, Irina and Koneko. He kept to himself until the day ended.

As he walked home he could tell he was being followed, he stopped past his old house a flashback waves past some flashes of the good and THAT NIGHT: Rias "you're a pawn nothing more freed did us a favour" Koneko: "should've let you die from the start". The flashback ends Dromus asks if he's having second thoughts? he shrugs it off saying "not at all" he continues through town to tight alley way shaking off the Tails then heading home.
