[Haha, okay! I wasn't sure if you meant actually run in, so this mess happened. If you'd prefer for him to actually run into her, though, I'll edit my post. :)]
Shizuo almost missed it, the flash of a face he had known well in the past. For a moment, he wondered if he had just imagined it. Mei had been gone for ages, after all, and he hadn't seen her since she all but disappeared. Nobody really knew what had happened to her, from what he knew. If they did, nobody had told him or spoken about it around him. Regardless, he picked up his pace fairly quickly, ignoring the confused calls of "Shizuo?" from Tom. If he was wrong, if he hadn't imagined that well-known face, then he couldn't just let the chance to find out why she left slip, could he? And, if he was just imagining it, maybe he should see Shinra, have him check him out, make sure he wasn't losing his damn mind because of all the hell that the flea put him through. Once he was close enough, he allowed himself to call out to her. "Mei?"
With mild confusion, Kumiko watched the guy, Masaomi Kida, then glanced to his friend with an expression that basically read Is he always like this? Shaking her head, she realized that she hadn't introduced herself. So, while she retrieved her schedule, she said, "I'm Kumiko Yuki." She glanced down at her schedule again, mostly to see what three blocks he was talking about, but nodded slightly. At least she would be in class with people she'd met. Maybe it wouldn't be so awkward? "Um, thank you," she told him, though Mikado was already leading the way to class. Quickly, she followed. "So, what's this school like? Or Ikebukuro in general?" she asked, glancing to the blonde boy since he seemed more talkative than his dark haired friend.
