Zelgadis was not happy, at all. Not that this was any change, but the events of the past few hours had given him more to angst about than usual. Nightshift had been dreadful: first he was attacked by a small green man and then covered in leeches, neither of which lead to warm fuzzy feelings

Thoughtful, Heiji pulled out his journal and began to make notes on what he'd discovered so far. He was going to crack this mystery if it killed him.
"Harley~!" His nurse sang, waltzing into his room. He groaned.
"Man, that name is really getting old!"
"You should be proud of your name, Mr. Hartwell," His nurse scolded. She threw a bundle of clothing at him. "Bus number one, on the double!"
Minutes later, 'Harley' sat with his arms crossed and his eyebrows knit on the bus, sulking. Fortunately, he was used to the clothes he was given--loose jeans, a t-shirt, and zip up jacket. If only he could've gotten a hat.

He was wearing a light blue sweatshirt over a slight-too tight blue t-shirt with a dragon on it (to Lee's horror), and faded jeans that were a bit too big. After so long, the only thing that was still the same with Lee was his big bushy eyebrows and large eyes. His hair was no longer in the shiny black bowl-cut and green appeared to be hard to come by. Ah well.
Lee sat down beside Heiji with his small breakfast and blinked.
"Where is it that we are going?"

He resumed his grin, "So what's your name?"

"My name is Rock Lee. It is odd that they allow us to go upon this trip. It must be to somehow lower our guards in order to destroy our hope even more. Ah, but my manners have left me. What is your name?"

"As for why they're taking us to someplace where they can't keep an eye on us... I still haven't figured that out. You'd think that it'd offer us the chance at escape or riot," Heiji shrugged. "Any plans for anything like that?" The teen smirked at Lee.

Lee thought about the rest of what Heiji said. "Hm...it is a possibility, and yet I cannot imagine that they would allow us so easily to escape. There must be more to this. We must be wary of our actions, and yet alert to any openings."

The teen sat back in his seat, suddenly remembering the plans he'd made with Okita. He was so totally screwed... He'd only practiced kendo as a sport--not as a method of actually killing people! Heiji shook off his apprehension.
"So I'm pretty new to this gig--I'm guessing this is the first time they've thrown this little 'field trip' curve at us?"

"That's awesome! Hey, y'ever hear of Hattori Hanzo?" Heiji grinned, obviously unafraid of flaunting his ancestry. "He was my great-great-great... uh, I'm related to him!"
Lee seemed like a nice guy--so Heiji wasn't going to hold back. When did he ever? Besides, this was a field trip! He could work on the Landel's case later. Now it was time to meet people and enjoy his trip! Trips were for enjoying oneself!
