"Class," the teacher said cheerfully, "we have two new students today."
Kaname looked up toward the two mentioned students and inwardly groaned, recognizing them from earlier in the day.
Standing up front was the creepy goth girl and the military nut from earlier.
"Would you please introduce yourselves, students?" Kagurazaka-sensei suggested strongly to the two new students.
Sousuke nodded crisply as, standing at attention, he introduced himself to the class.
"I'm Sergeant Sagara Sousuke," he declared proudly, and things went down from there.
Kaname groaned as the self-proclaimed sergeant went on a long description of his interest in reading lots and lots of military stuff. She rolled her eyes and shook her head at the performance. There was no way the guy could get any weirder.
Sousuke, meanwhile ended his introduction wondering just how reliable his comrade's advice had been. He stepped back away from the class, clearing the way for the next new student to introduce herself.
Eija smiled brightly as she stepped forward, eyes obscured behind the dark lenses of her sunglasses.
"Excuse me, Satomi-san," Kagurazaka-sensei insisted as the girl started to open her mouth. "Could you first remove your sunglasses?"
"Oh no," Eija said, looking toward the teacher. "I have to wear these during the day. My eyes don't handle daytime very well."
"I see," the teacher said, mentally making a note to check with the nurse on that. "Well, please continue."
Kaname arched an eyebrow as the girl behind the sunglasses, expensive looking things that included sides along the frames that made them almost look like stylish goggles. Except for the black hair, Kaname would have thought the girl was an albino what with all the pale skin and the bad eyes.
Sousuke, meanwhile, was politely filing the information away while observing Chidori's fidgety reactions to the introductions.
"My name is Satomi Eija," the dark-haired girl said politely, bowing cheerfully and smiling brightly.
As she flashed the perfectly white teeth, the audience felt a chill work up their spines that was made worse by the fact that she honestly seemed to be friendly.
"Hello, little miss Dracula," Kaname muttered under her breath.
"I think she's cute," Kyuoko said brightly, apparently the only one that seemed unaffected by the creep factor radiating out of Eija.
"I've also travelled to many places," she said. "I was born in Greece with my brother and sister, but my mother started taking jobs in various places, so we had to travel a lot with her."
"So what hobbies do you have?" one boy asked, with a slightly snide tone of voice. "Drinking blood and turning into bats?"
"Tanaka-san!" Kagurazaka snapped. "Behave yourself."
Eija, however, ignored or failed to notice the commentary and continued on anyway.
"I like herbology and painting, actually," Eija said. "I don't know much about blood rites and it isn't safe to dabble."
The teacher, the students and even Sousuke took a long moment to stare at her nervously.
"Did I say something wrong?" she asked, confused.

Eija may have had a rather interesting introduction, but her siblings weren't far behind the scale.

"I am Satomi Naiki," the green-haired girl said, somewhat rolling her eyes. "I like swimming and rock climbing and heavy metal music. Can I sit down and get on with ignoring you now?"
The other students widened there eyes at this remark and the teacher glared at the young woman.

"I am a very astute student of the human body," Deimosu was saying amiably. "My mother, you see, insists that I always improve upon my already masterful level of such anatomical knowledge so that I can produce the most amazing results from the most subtle of..."
"Excuse me, Satomi-san," the teacher said irritably. "But we need to get on with class."
"Uh, right," Deimosu said as he started to walk to his seat.
Some of the students were imagining that he was on his way to being a doctor, and others were imagining impressive skill in the bedroom.
This was mostly split down gender lines.
Strangely enough, so were the longing gazes and angry glares.
