Breaking away(ppen)

[Kei]

Claus finally found others of his kind. He was so tired of being a slave to the world of men. And specially to the one abusive man he was enslaved to. He meet the others and he was asked to join them. He wasn't sure how he was going to break free from the chains that bound him to the slavers but he was going to do it.

He packed all that he owned which wasn't much and headed off to the school. If he was gonna leave the slaver he had to find another place to live even if he ended up living on the streets before he found a safe haven to stay. He wasn't sure where the others of the gang stayed and hadn't even asked them he was to excited to think of that at the time but he wasn't gonna turn back either. He was going to be free. He shoved the stuff in his locker and headed off to class.

Claus was scared he didn't know if he could pull this off or not but he was gonna try. He hurried to his seat in the classroom and looked around at least today he was in the proper uniform they couldn't tease him today of all days now could they. He pulled his sleeve down further on his arm hiding the fresh bruises hopefully they would be his last. He probably even had a bruise on his cheek he hoped no one asked which door he ran into. He keep his eyes down and didn't look at anyone now as the teacher walked in to start the lessons.

She had been in class early that morning, not wanting any suspicious witnesses to look at her -- with that smoke incident happening yesterday. That was all her accident though, not anyone else's. Once the maestro began to start his lesson, Sinato fixed her gaze on Claus, noticing he had a slight pigment to his cheek. What was it from? She didn't keep much attention on Claus, before she focused on the lesson. It was when Chori stood up and began giving her president speech -- only this one was different. "So you all know about the annual cake bake coming up, right? Well since it's tomorrow, I was thinking we could speed up the process... Sinato-" It was like at that instant, Sinato knew something was up. Why would she be called Sinato instead of Sinny? The look that was exchanged seemed cold. Am I busted? Did she see me go through the window? "Sinato, get up here and tell us your ideas.. and Claus, you as well. I want to know what you two will be doing during the cake bake." That was the day Sinato would carry her plan through and brake into the school's safe. In there was the key to Broadini's underground catacombs. It was planned out, but Claus wasn't apart of it.

There was definitely something wrong with what Chori was doing. Sinato, with in reason, rose out of her chair slowly. Then she began treading towards the front of the room. "Well, as you know .. my mother was recently in the hospital so I won't be able to attend that." It was as if those words triggered something in Chori. She lifted one index finger and began speaking loudly in tone. "Your mother you say? Well Sinato, I happen to get a hold of your birth records .. your real one. My father was so kind to hand them off to me." Sinato's heart raced, as if her thoughts were controlling her. What do I do now? Say I'm adopted? No, she has birth records .. my fake ones, my human rights. I have to play this one out..

Sinato began to clap slowly, then a sorrowful expression took over. Her breath seemed to tighten her chest. "Okay.. You got me. I have no mother -- but I have a nanny. She takes care of me .. in the mansion up the road. The Ushigi Mansion." With that name, gasps were sent flying through the room. Mutters could be heard throughout the room. 'The Ushigi bloodline? It can't be..' 'I thought they died off decades ago.'
