When Zack glanced back at Shinu, he was sure that he did not let the headmaster go without shooting a piercing glance his way. Immediately after though, he turned his focus back to Bree, who's simple hand movements on his neck sent all kinds of neural senses that he couldn't control, even if it was his special power. The slow music was perfect, a nice song to do the waltz too. He doubted anyone could possible know that he was part of the ballroom dance club at his old school, but now was his time to shine. It certainly didn't hurt that his dance partner was a beautiful French young lady who surely would appreciate a good dance when it came her way. The best part about dance, was how traditional it was. The man lead, and honored his partner by the look he gave and the way he carried himself, and the female was trusting and honorable as well, perfect for Shinu's personality.
Ms. Bree, I don't know how much longer I'll be able to compose myself so well around you. That red dress is absolutely killing me, flooding my mind with a lot of crazy thoughts. I can only hope my dancing will prove worthy of having such a beautiful partner.
He grabbed her right hand, and held it in his left, standing as tall as he could. He towered in the center of the dance floor and as he stuck his bold chest out and placed his strong right arm under Bree's elbow as she grabbed ahold of his powerful shoulder muscles on his right arm. He smiled as he took the first step forward with his left foot and Bree rightfully stepped back with her right. He knew she knew the dance at that point, and was excited at the prospect of the dance. He continued to perform the basic waltz, turning Bree at his whim as she gracefully followed his every move. He stepped back and arched his arm so she could spin gracefully coming forward under his arm. At that point, Shinu lost his thoughts entirely, not caring about the footsteps that were coming second nature to him at this point. He was just watching the way the lighting flashed hues of pink and red and caught the beauty in Bree's eyes as she looked back in to his. It was quite the moment, and part of Shinu didn't even want the song to end at all.

Cino smiled slightly at Bells before looking around for a second to notice who had already left to the dance floor. Shinu and Bree had already left as were a few others. The dance floor was becoming quite full now that a slower paced song started.
"Umm if you don't mind Bells, could you excuse me for a bit?" Cino politely asked as he eyed Mya who still seemed rather nervous and bored. Originally Cino had planned on asking Bells to dance with him, however Mya just seemed more lonely and looked like she needed a friend. Cino turned towards Mya and smiled a bit at her hoping to cheer her up a bit.
"Hey Mya, I was wondering if you would...like to dance with me?" Cino felt a bit nervous on the inside at first, however soon rid himself of the feeling.

Anemone was a little giddy, inwardly. She had half expected Zack to dance with some of the other girls, the more normal looking ones and she'd be completed over looked, and would have left the dance... well... having not danced at all. So the fact he had asked, and she was now in an embrace dancing with him made her insides squirm mostly happily.
Though Fossu didn't sound too pleased in her head.
"Its a pleasure to meet you too." Anemone replied with a smile, "so... you're the Headmaster?" She tilted her head to oneside. Almost everyone knew that Zack was the name of the Headmaster at Kosaka, and since Anemone hadn't met any one else of that name, she chose to assume this was he. Especially given the glare that Shinu gave him. "You're not going to get keel-halled by the other faculty members for this, are you?" Her question was playful, but she did want to make sure. After all, she didn't want to be responsible for getting the Headmaster bulldozed by more imposing members of staff.
Anemone caught a glance of Bree and Shinu out of the corner of her eye. She liked Bree, from what she knew of her so far. And couldn't quite grasp why she liked Shinu, as she obviously did. Anemone was losing patience with him quickly.
Apparently now, Anemone's feet decided it would be a good time to be ungraceful. Her eyes widened as she caught one on the hem of her dress and toppled a little, grabbing on to Zack's jacket for support. She steadied herself, "whoops. Sorry." She grinned awkwardly, "I'm not used to wearing floor length dresses."

Sort of like Shinu, she was in the Ballroom Club at her old school, but only because her mother had made her. It was endless, the number of things her mom could make her do that she hated. It wasn’t just Ballroom Dance club she had to take, but professional Ballroom Dance Academy. She was enjoying this particular dance, because it with Shinu, but she honestly hated learning it. It was very dreadful.
I guess three years of stupid dance academy paid off..
As a lady should, she let him lead, not missing a beat… Even thought the song was slow enough for a beginner to do it. When were they going to play something youthful and fun? Like punk rock or something? She didn’t really care what they play, as long as it wasn’t rap.. She hated rap. Her thoughts got twisted up in her head as they continued dancing.
----------------------------------------------------------
Bells about died, when Cino walked away. She truly was alone with.. She didn’t even know. So slowly, she walked away, towards a tree. She sat down behind it, and balled up. Luckily there had been a bench there, so her dress didn’t have to get dirty. She wasn’t scared or anything, she just felt like there was no one safe around.

((OOC: For why there is a shuriken, please see the main gates' new thread))
The dance continued, and the song was coming to a near. Shinu and Bree were certainly putting on a show together, she was much better than any partner he had who came to the club just for fun. She was graceful and elegant and his footwork was on point. Who would have thought basketball and ballroom went together so well? As he slowly dipped her at the end of the song, he leaned over to where his face was in an inch of hers, and whispered in her ear.
Look out, an old friend of mine is here, and I have to handle him for a second. You're very beautiful.
He softly kissed her on the forehead and brought her back up. He held her back to a racing oncoming shuriken, but he held her at the proper angle to deflect it without doing her any harm.
Please, don't get scared, just trust me for one minute.
He held her with his left hand, and with his right, he formed his trusted sword Nuraki. Its long blade refused to shine for a moment, but as the shuriken raced towards it, the blade turned a fuming white. Long ago, when Shinu and Oogie met, their weapons' "mina" or soul was connected so that the two could never hurt one another, a true sign of trust. The mina in Nuraki absorbed the shuriken, and attached itself to the X tip of the blade, acting as an extension. Shinu detached the shuriken with the biggest smile ever and placed it in his coat pocket.
Now this Ms. Bree, is a man you need to meet!
He walked her off the dance floor and over to the tree where he just spotted Bells sitting.
Oogie! You get your crazy butt over here! What took you so long?!

"Ive been hiding" Oogie smirked, he had missed his old friend. "So land lubber who is this fine woman you have not yet had the manners to introduce me to?". oogies scarred afce split into a wide grin as he winked at the young lady and then a frown as he began to tease Shinu. "Wow man have you put on weight? The muscles look less *mighty*. And dancing? You going all gay on me in this fine institution?"

Oh my... word. You're going to die soon Oog. You'd better be lucky...
This was something he was worried about. He and Oogie got along so well, but Oogie was a crazy man, so everyone else was in question. Shinu thought best to just let Oogie do what he does, and most people would ultimately like him.
There's nothing soft about dancing, you just only do it when you're drunk, which I'm glad you're not. This pretty young lady is Bree, a special lady Oogie.
Oogie knew that was his way of telling him he could forget about taking her from him if he thought he could get away with it.
And this pretty young lady sitting here on this bench is my very good friend Bells. She's like my little sister, so you had better be looking out for her when necessary. Oh and about my muscles Oogie.
Shinu took a huge leap over the bench and wrapped his arms around Oogie in a forceful bear hug.
I never lost my grip!

"Point taken bear man" Oogie quickly retorted as he was lost in shinus heavily muscled arms. Well actually he said "PNN TKURN BRR MN", or it had appeared so at least. He wriggled until he was free of the mighty hold and then turned to adress the girls. "so lil sis and special ey?" oogie winked at shinu "guess im celibate for now!" Oogie laughed a deep throaty laugh then turned back to Shinu "and as for you i am never drunk except that one time in paris and that terrible month in hell which we swore nebver to discuss again"

As Oogie squirmed free, Shinu cold only laugh at his best friend. The time he spent at Kosaka was great thanks to mostly both Bells and Bree, but this was different. Spending time at a boarding school with Oogie, was unlike any other experience. He really hoped that Bells and Bree would like him, they were important to him, and Oogie was his main man.
He could only wait there nervously, hoping for the best.

Oogie looked at Shinu, these deep eyes were full of thoughts, Oogie wished he knew what was going through his old friends mind, it had been a long time after all.
"so what does a ninja have to do around here to get a snack?"

Shinu laughed and remembered that this dance was quite throwing off his eating pattern.
You're absolutely right!
He knew it was impossible to be right when he just asked a question, but if anyone could, it was Oogie.
I've been starving since I got here.
Come on ladies, let's go have a bite, and maybe a drink or too. Non alcoholic Oogie! And I don't want to hear anything about Paris either. This is not the time.
He hoped he didn't seem too condescending on Oogie. He knew Oog didn't care, but he was really nice to everyone, but this was just his tough love to his best friend. Wow, he never spent so much time being self conscious.
He grabbed Bree's hand and escorted her to the snack table full of elegant finger foods. He hoped that Oogie would take some initiative and escort Bells, but forwardness wasn't an area of concern for Oogie, so no worries there. The table was filled with lavish finger foods with different condiments such as caviar, apple chutney, and everything in between. Shinu grabbed a small china plate as he eyed down his options, letting Bree get her food first.

Oogie looked awkwardly at bells for a moment then smiled "may i...madam?" he reached his hand out toward her his brain ticking over what Shinu would have been thinking *touch her hand, smile nicely, make a good impression, don't break wind*.
He led her after Shinu and tried not to think about how pretty she was, Shinu would bloody kill him. Within moments Oogie was, however away from Bells and wrist deep in food, his wide grin covered in food he turned to shinu and with a full mouth said " you know, I'm going to like this place"

Bree laid back, not concerned when he told her not to worry. There was obviously a new arrival. Her thoughts were confirmed when they stopped their dance, and started walking over to Bells. She seemed emo-ish at the moment, and she guessed she didn't want to be bothered unless it was by Shinu. A man jumped out in front of them, and she had to guess they were friends, do to how Shinu practically ate the poor guy. His name was... Oogie? Odd.. But it wasn't that bad.
Shinu led her to the stand of food, she guessed assuming Oogie was supposed to walk Bells. That was a mistake, she knew how shy Bells was, and a new guy taking her hand. She turned to see the fatal reaction. She stifled a laugh when the poor girls face twisted up. She sighed, leaving Shinu behind, and went to her aid.
“You. Go.” She pushed Oogie up next to Shinu, making him leave the two girls behind. She wrapped her arm up in Bells, and walked slower than the guys. “Eh. I know how horrifying that must have been..” Bree watched as Bells facial expression settled, not looking like a ghost anymore. She still looked shaken, but not terrified.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Bells just about fainted as she watched the kunai fling at Shinu, she didn’t react out of cold hard fear, but settled when she noticed he knew it was coming. She looked around to see who had thrown it, but seen no one. Bree and Shinu walked over, introducing them to some new guy. She turned transparent, still visible in the shimmer of light.
He grabbed her hand, and she instantly went out of sight, she barely knew how to move her legs. But luckily Bree came to save her. The new guy looked like a pirate out of a movie. She didn’t like pirates, they could kill things, and not be merciless. Of course those guys were from the 1600’s and back.. And they did help stop global warming.. So there was one plus side. She had found a graph on the internet a while back, that proved the lack of pirates cause global warming. “Urmm.. Thanks.” Was all she could say.

Oogie chewed a mouthful of food and removed his hat, a large overly pirately number, and mulled over what had happened. That girl had practically died of fright.... maybe he shoudl check on her. He walked over and began to talk "Its Bells right?,,,"

Torva was sat down on the floor, a little out of the way, she was focused down at her arm, the elctronics were all exposed and she tinkers with a small screwdriver at some of the circuit boards, wiping her brow every now and again, stretching her neck. Of course she could have gone anywhere to do this... no, she wanted to be in company of people, even if she remained out of conversations, she still loved to watch them. She felt a shudder of electricity run through her body as she hiccupped due to a short out of one cuircuit. Her arm twitched but she shook her head and let it pass by, resuming her work.
