ok...Ikimashou!

Reika stepped into the academy corridors with Sakura, her cherrim, on her shoulder. her thoughts whirling around inside her head. as she sat down on a nearby bench, her cherrim was looking around for other pokemon. reika started to play with the grende pin she wore around her neck, thinking of keikoro, who she was expecting a letter from in about a day or two.

Narri was walking about the academy like a normal person so she was easily seen. Seeing the new girl she walked over with Skyrim on her shoulder giving a wave to the girl.

Reika seen her and gave her a small wave

Narri took a look at the girl and decided she might understand japanese a bit better. "Konnichi wa, anata wa eigo wo hanashimasu ka?" she asked which in english is 'Hello, do you speak english'

Reika smiled slightly "uh...yes, but uh... How you say... Not much?" Reika stuttered as she picked sakura. Up

"That's ok, I don't talk much, and if I do I will be sure to speak more japanese with you than english," Narri said.

Reika smiled at her "oh! My name is Reika...what is your name?"

"um..... I'm 16... Does that make a..uh..differ..rence?" She said having slight trouble with the last word

"well... I am originally from Japan... I only came to this place today..." Reika smiled, this girl started to remind her of Midoko, her closest friend who died in the gruesome battle royale 5 months ago.

Reika shook her head

"That's a lie, y'know me!" Narri said with a smile. "Come on I'll introduce you to my group, you'll like my sister, she doesn nothing but talk so you dan't have just nod and smile!" she said begining to walk in but stood in the doorway to the next room.

Reika nervously followed

"Goshinpai naku! Don't worry! Everyone is nice! Just be careful of Band and you'll be fine!" she said as Skyrim jumped onto the other girl's shoulder and gave her a hug.

Reika gave skyrim a kiss on the cheek and put sakura on her other shoulder

They soon came across the group, Kiba was multicoloured and Tala was pulling Band's face so much it looked like it was streaching. "Hey Narri, don't ask...'Rainbows are nice but not at this price'" Nat said waving her wand turning Kiba back to normal. "...this is....a 'normal' day for us...." Narri sighed.

Reika giggled

"Who's your new friend?" Nat asked. "Reika!" Narri said simply then turned to Reika "Tala, Band, Kiba, Nat!" she said pointing to each in turn.

Reika bowed politely as sakura jumped down and did the same.

"No need for the formality! Just a 'hey there' and a hi five will do, we're casual!" Tala said walking over holding her hand up for a hi five.

Reika gave her a small high five as Colin walked in and waved to them

"Hey Colin, meet Reika, she's the new kid, and Narri seems to have taken a shine to her, must be because she's quiet!" Tala called waving him over.

Colin came over and held a hand out to Reika "hey there! How are you?" He gently greeted her. She shook his hand and stopped when she noticed his collar "were you forced into in battle royale to!?!? How did you survive!?" He gave her a confused look "battle...what?" She blushed and covered her mouth as she noticed the difference between colin's collar and the BR collar "oops! I- i apologise! I made a mistake!" colin gently patted her shoulder "hey! Don't sweat it!"
