Ryuuichi Hongo & Kuro | OC

[onebodyonemindonesoul]

Ryuuichi stood in front of the main gate with his arms crossed over his chest, ponytail blowing in the breeze. Kuro stood at his right with his hands in the pockets of his hoodie, tail slowly swishing back and forth in excitement. The two of them looked like they had been walking for a while, with dust on Ryuuichi's sandaled feet and on Kuro's three-toed clawed feet. Large beat-up backpacks on each of their backs gave a hint as to how they had been living before arriving here.

Ryuuichi felt Kuro's excitement through their link and sighed slightly.

"You know what it was like when I was in school."

"This is the States and you have me instead of being alone."

"Doesn't mean it'll be any different."

"Doesn't mean it won't."

Ryuuichi knew what Kuro was going to say next and answered the unasked question before his other half could say anything.

"I wanna see what everyone does when they ain't had time to think'a what ta do."

Kuro couldn't deny that he wasn't curious too, but had to wonder if whoever ran the place might be angry at them for coming in without ringing the doorbell. Then again, if this place was really the sanctuary that they had heard it was, there would probably be tight security, so they might already be on camera. A brief twinge of worry passed through them both at they simultaneously wondered if this place might actually turn out to ensure safety by never letting them leave. Relying on rumors left a lot to be desired.

"If that's what it's like," Ryuuichi began.

"Then we'll fight our way out," Kuro continued.

"An' make sure we get everyone out," Ryuuichi finished.

"Never gonna be in a place like that again," they said in perfect unison.

They held out their hands to each other in perfect synch, clasped them together, and made a short run at the gate. Their feet hit the ground at the same time and they both jumped at exactly the same point, sailing over the gate and gently floating down to the ground on the other side, releasing each other's hands when they landed. Kuro pushed his hood back to fully reveal his dinosaur-like head and looked over at Ryuuichi with a grin full of sharp teeth. Ryuuichi gave a faint smile back as he felt a little bit of hope bubble up inside him to match Kuro's. They both headed towards the school, making quite the pair: a Japanese teenager in baggy leather pants and a humanoid dinosaur in a hoodie.

[Because you're probably wondering, they're two halves of the same person. Think multiple personalities where each personality has a separate body.

Also, sorry for the crappy icons. They're a work in progress. orz]
