Akane Rie

"Some old wounds never truly heal, and bleed again at the slightest word."

a character in “How To Paint A Colorful Sky”, as played by ℰℯℯ℘

Description



Image
“I know exactly how that is. To love somebody who doesn’t deserve it. Because they are all you have. Because any attention is better than no attention. For exactly the same reason, it is sometimes satisfying to cut yourself and bleed. On those gray days where eight in the morning looks no different from noon and nothing has happened and nothing is going to happen and you are washing a glass in the sink and it breaks-accidentally-and punctures your skin. And then there is this shocking red, the brightest thing in the day, so vibrant it buzzes, this blood of yours. That is okay sometimes because at least you know you're alive, even when the numbness makes you feel otherwise.”

HEIGHT
      5'9

WEIGHT
      112 lb

HAIR COLOR
      Chocolate brown

EYE COLOR
      The same color as dried blood

SKIN TONE
      Pale like a porcelain doll

GENERAL APPEARANCE
      Strands of dark chocolate brown color most of Akane's crown. The color itself is a bit odd since it isn't a completely brown shade, instead, having darker strands running through it along with lighter. Some have stated it reminds them of a demon like color, but regardless, the shade is a strange and vibrant hue to be seen. It falls down her back and rests gently a few inches above the small of her back, very nearly to her hips. When the girl was much younger, her hair had been very short, only reaching her shoulders. Her skin tone is a bit peculiar. While retaining the appearance of a pale, ghostly color, there are shades of red and peach in the underlining. This gives her the appearance of having porcelain-like skin tone.

      Her body could be considered one that is decently desired by school girls. While she has no large bust, her hips are full and wide, making her form see lilith. She stands roughly five foot nine, almost six foot and with a weight to keep her body proportioned. Her eyes are a rather peculiar shade of dark red and dark brown that seem to glow in certain lights or at night. They are accented by curved eyebrows that hover with a light arch in the middle.

      Ane always has her two red hair clips in her air and her red scarf on, they were gifts from her parents and brother, and no matter how painful a reminder they are, she can't seem to part with him. Up close her eyes seem empty and hardened. She was once told her looked older than what she was because her eyes looked so worn.



“It's so hard to forget pain, but it's even harder to remember sweetness. We have no scar to show for happiness. We learn so little from peace.”

PERSONALITY
      ✦ Sad ✧ Lonely ✦ Depressed ✧ Kind ✦

      Akane is the kind of girl who shies away from human interaction and would rather go for a walk than be in a room full of people. She doesn't let others push her around though, and is a bit outspoken. While a few years ago she wouldn't have shied away from a crowd, she is now a shut in and seeks the company of art, writings, or animals instead of other human beings. She prefers to be left to herself, only allowing those who have taken the time to get under her skin, to get anywhere near her. She's strong and smart, capable of making decisions and carrying them out precisely, as well as backing up her choices against anyone who would dare to oppose her.

      She can speak to a crowd and captivate everyone's full attention, but she has a little trouble with the one-on-one interaction, through she doesn't like to interact with large crowds, it's not avoidable most time. The dark haired woman likes to seclude herself and doesn't take compliments very well. Should she do something for you, don't thank her. She'll merely say it had to be done and wave it off.

      Despite all this though, Suta is incredibly motherly and caring. She takes care of the people she cares about secretly in a tender manner, loving each one of them as a mother would love her child or as a sister would love another sibling. It's kind of a strange thing, to see her act motherly, expressing her love in small gestures that are often hard to pick up on. When people trust her, she can't think of anything worse than letting them down. She doesn't even fear for her own safety, but that she'll fail in keeping the others safe. Though Suta seems like an impenetrable fortress, underneath all her built-up walls, there's a soft, vulnerable girl. She may not show it, but she grows easily attached to people.

      When her family died, she cut her ties with the world around her with a jagged knife, slicing until nothing remained but mangled ties and bonds. That was the first time she started cutting. It has always helped in some way or form, sometimes she would feel too much, and it would make her go numb, and other times she would feel too little, and it would give her that burst of life she so desperately needed. Someone once asked her how it felt to be so lost in depression. "I answered, it was like drowning in the darkest water you could imagine falling into, having all of those fears and feelings be sucked into your lungs as you desperately try to breath, and up above you, you can see other people walking around, breathing with ease, and looking down at you with such pity it made you want to claw your eyes out."

      Art - She always has loved art, it is a way to express herself, show who she really is without others really knowing thats how messed up she really is.

      Depression - That is a flaw, a horrible horrible flaw.
      Self-Hate - She hates herself for never being able to help her mother, for not being able to stop her brother, for not being able to save her father, for letting herself get bullied, for letting herself fail, for letting herself and her family down. For cutting. For trying to end her life. Her living. She just...hates.
      Regret - How can you not feel regret and live in it when you are all that is left of your family?
      Cutting - She cuts in the morning, in the night, in the middle of the day. She wants to die sometimes.
      Numbness - Whats worse than the cutting? When all you feel is nothing.

BIO
      The noise of the heart monitor beeping was the only sound in the white room, but it seemed to echo restlessly. A small family stood in front of the hospital bed, their hands linked, but as the time passed, they slowly let go of each other. The woman in the bed would not open her eyes again to see them, and they all knew it, their was no point in lying to themselves. The youngest boy in the room looked half dead, his skin ashen and dark bruises were wonder his eyes. His cheeks were hollowed out. The youngest girl in the room looked worn, her face pale and her eyes terribly sad, her lips would tremble so bad at times she had to bite onto them to make it stop, the coppery taste of blood soon filled her mouth, but it was ignored. The father of the family stood solemnly, but he seemed to be the one moving one, the one that would heal from this first. That was not a bad thing.

      All too soon though, the beeping faded, and the woman flat lined. None of them moved, their eyes never leaving the woman's body as she was loaded and taken out of the room. They didn't move until the boy seemed to burst to life and run from the room. The father and girl followed as the boy climbed into his car, and spun into the road. Everything seemed to happen in slow motion, the father and girl stood in the road, in front of the car that was coming right at them. The girl screamed, and the boy behind the wheel sobbed - his foot never once moving towards the brake pedal. The elder shoved the girl away, out of harms way - just in the nick of time, and then-

      "NO!" A ragged breath. "No...we do not speak of this."

The sun blazed against the clear sky. This air was chilly yet relaxing. The weather was trying to maneuver from its long winter slumber. The birds peaceful chirping began to dull down as noon approached Tokyo. The children were just starting to get out of school, and the adults were finishing up papers. The day itself seemed to have been dragging itself on forever, making many impatient for it to end.

While the day entered its new phase something mysterious was about to happen to ten unique children. The Athlete, The Wallflower, The Prep, The Student President, The Rebel, The Tomboy, The Player, The Studious, The Geek, and The Perfect. These ten children known for there outstanding talents have all been invited to a mysterious cafe, Missing Pieces.

Why were they invited? Will they even go? Well, we just have to see. But one thing for sure is that a new story is about to unfold in their messed up lives, something that will cause each of them to face the true tragedy of their lives. This story will be about breaking down the walls each child had built. Making them scream, cry, and fall. And along the way learning that none of them are alone, and that the only way to change is to fight.

“The so-called ‘psychotically depressed’ person who tries to kill herself doesn't do so out of quote ‘hopelessness’ or any abstract conviction that life’s assets and debits do not square. And surely not because death seems suddenly appealing. The person in whom Its invisible agony reaches a certain unendurable level will kill herself the same way a trapped person will eventually jump from the window of a burning high-rise. Make no mistake about people who leap from burning windows. Their terror of falling from a great height is still just as great as it would be for you or me standing speculatively at the same window just checking out the view; i.e. the fear of falling remains a constant. The variable here is the other terror, the fire’s flames: when the flames get close enough, falling to death becomes the slightly less terrible of two terrors. It’s not desiring the fall; it’s terror of the flames. And yet nobody down on the sidewalk, looking up and yelling ‘Don’t!’ and ‘Hang on!’, can understand the jump. Not really. You’d have to have personally been trapped and felt flames to really understand a terror way beyond falling.”

The boy's face was from Akane vilest nightmares. Cavernous mouth, distended chin, bastardized nose. The enormous, bulging eyes glared at her, demanded she see the truth, commanded her to acknowledge her sin, her failure. No matter how many times this scene played out, she was never fast enough, and she would never be fast enough to save that boy. A wail went through the air, followed by a loud snapping noise, and then the males glaring eye's softened and lost any light they had once held. The small dark haired girl moved forward in a blur, a battle cry leaving her lips as she raised the knife she held high, her vision going red. A strange laugh echoed off the walls as the small child stabbed the large man repeatedly, it was a worn out, sinister laugh.

Suddenly, she was no longer in a wooden cabin, instead she was in the dark forest, bloody knives sticking up everywhere, a cold, harsh wind slammed into her chest, she was a child no more, and blood was spraying at her like rain. She needed to wake up, she needed to wake up before it got worse. A pale face shinned in the moonlight, a form moving slowly towards her, the person's neck turn at a strange angle, their mouth hanging open in a silent scream, and then-





Akane jerked awake as a strange noise broke free from her throat, it was something between a cry of agony and a scream for help. Slowly, the sound died down, leaving the dark room in a never ending silence. She stared up at the ceiling for a long moment, the cold sweat that had settled over her skin making her shiver. It was the same every night, nightmare after nightmare, so real, so lucid, and it was horrible. She hated having to relive hell's every day. It was like she would never actually get any sleep, she would just always be stuck there, in the nightmare of her life. Her hand slid under her pillow, grasping the cold steal that gave her goose flesh for a split second. The hard metal slipped across the sheets and played over her thin skin, dancing bloody patterns and spelling hopes of a better life.

The clock flashed in red, reading 11:24 AM until the numbers were seared into her minds eyes. She threw the small object from her hand at the lock, knocking it to the ground with a thud. She was late. No surprises there, never really was. Sometimes she didn't hear the alarm. Not that it really mattered, no one had perfect attendance at the Academy. Rolling out and breaking free of her sheets, she pulled them away from her mattress and balled them up to the middle of her bed before sweeping into the bathroom and washing away the nightmares marks down the drain. After doing so the girl hurried back into her room so she could discard her sheets into the wash.

Finally, she got dressed; long sleeve shirt, jeans, and her red scarf. it never changed, the need to hide the marks and scars. It never would. glancing at the fallen clock, it now flashed 11:57 AM. Would it ever stop flashing? She sighed and grabbed her bag before heading out - she didn't see the small letter that sat on the floor outside her room.

Akane didn't bother locking her dingy apartment, no one would steal stained metal.

The streets were bustling and the sun shinning, any happy person would be out and about, perhaps wearing shorts and a tank and throwing a ball with friends at the park. No, instead she was heading to an Office for people too depressed to enjoy the feel of the sun or the taste of food. Conversations flittered back and forth as she walked, her head bowed, her lips pursed, eyes scanning the crowds, looking for something in other people that she rarely saw in broad day light. No it was more common to see it at night when the shouts and alcohol came out.

She moved at a slow pace, not quite worried about missing her appointment and not quite caring enough to hurry. All too soon, she was there though, outside the small two story building with worn brick walls and fogged windows, she entered casually and went up to the front desk, giving her name, the woman squinted at her before nodding to the door at the far end of the corridor. He was waiting for her.

"I was wondering if you'd show today." The older man sat in a worn leather chair, a clip board in his lap. Ane sat down in the leather couch across from him, her back again't the wall that was painted yellow. They had thought bright colors would help patients, but really it just made her want to claw her eyes out. The man - Doctor Turner - was a truly kind old man, he was understanding and refreshing, and he knew how she worked by now. "Well come on, let's see them." He sighed, pulled his chair closer to where she sat and pulling a small black bag out from under the couch.

"I can do it myself," Akane sighed, but rolled up her sleeves anyway. The doctor tsk'd and started to wrap her wrists in gauze before handing her an extra roll, which she slipped into her bag easily. She would need it later when the gauze became stained with her life's sorrows. "Thank you." She whispered, staring at the yellow that the walls were painted. It was fading and worn, like her mind. Perhaps it was time they repaint it? Black would be much for fitting. The man nodded and scooted back.

"Now, tell me about the nightmares again." He started, and that's how the next two hours went. Akane was alone in the world, the last of her family line. An old family friend pad for her apartment, for her school funding, and for these appointments. That was great and all, but she didn't need any of it, it would be no different if she lived on the streets, as long as she had something sharp in hand she would be okay. As she strode down the streets with hands in her pockets, her mind wandered to what her life would have been like if her mother and father were alive, if her brother was alive. Would she be able to wear shorts?

Silently, the brunette climbed the stairwell to her apartment, and headed towards her room. It was then she noticed the letter.

Dear Reader,

You have been invited to Missing Piece Cafe. Located on 162 Street, a map is posted on the back.XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
We will be awaiting your arrival at 3:30 p.m. Please present the card, at the entrance to be let inside.XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Yours Truly,
XXXXMr. Fujiyama, Owner of PiecesXXXXXXXXXXXXXX


She stared at the letter for a moment, before snorting and striding back into her apartment and dropping it into her trash bin. From there she went about her day as she usually does, first by throwing her bed sheets into the dryer, then by picking up the fallen lock that now read 2:49 PM. After that she threw her valued item back under her pillow and set to work fixing herself something to eat. Akane lived off of ramen and frozen pork, but it didn't matter to her, she didn't taste the food she put in her mouth. She had learned the trick to being able to eat a long time ago, but it didn't seem to make her skin any less pale or her cheeks any less hollow. Missing Piece Cafe...weird name. Ane went on with her day, but the name seemed to stick in her head, like a bad song.

3:25 PM, the clock flashed. She sat on her bare bed, staring at the clock with her worn eyes, playing with the cold steal that was her life line, dangling it between her fingers and relishing in the sharp sting it left in it's wake. Curiosity killed the cat. She was up on her feet before she really understood what she was doing. After wrapping band-aids around her fingers, she grabbed her bag and that strange letter that couldn't possibly have been for her, and headed out of the room she called home.

The streets had yet to lose their bustle, and for once she found herself rushing forward, following the directions on the map diligently, even if her eyes hadn't returned from their death fade, they showed the smallest bit of interest. And it was there and then, that she found herself standing outside of the large building that was the strange cafe. Just as she walked in, a male walked up to a pretty dark haired girl, dropped to one knee, and asked her to marry him. Akane dead panned for a moment and shuffled away from the pair.

Ane surveyed the cafe and the people within it for a moment, before she shuddered and turned back around. "Bad ideas go hand in hand with bad jokes." She mumbled, shuffling towards the door.

────────────────────────────────────
    He watched countless scenes unfold. Countless, unfortunate suicide attempts he could never stop. Countless deaths in general he wasn't even present for... His mind was clouded with guilt. His world was shrouded in the darkness of his broken heart, of a man who'd give everything and anything to save his friends lives... Yet he couldn't even save the one he cared for most in the world. He knew he only had to endure it for a bit longer... Than he'd see her again.

    Than his nightmarish hell would allow him to wake from his painful slumber.

    Within the next minutes, he was standing before her. His best friend, the reason for his constant feel of guilt and regret for everyone... She stood there, and just like before, he began to cry and reach for her, only to watch her grumble into gray dust and ash. She was long since gone, and it didn't seem like he'd ever learn such a painful fact. Eyes snapping open, reality painfully greeted him with the dim sun of the afternoon. He had gone home early from the university, as his professor had more... important matters to deal with at the moment.

    Much more important.

    Now that he was thinking about 'important', wasn't his darling 'mama lion' Sakura starting that group today? Sitting up on the couch, he pushed his hair back with a sigh. He... really didn't want to be alone. Who knows, maybe someone he knew was going to be there besides Sakura... Like... her.

    He knew how much Sango wanted to be alone. To be with her father on another plain, but it was still something he couldn't accept yet. She mattered to much to him, and when at age fourteen she began to change for the worst, he knew hard times were ahead for them. He knew he'd be losing his precious little assistant, and her father would be weeping if she ever joined him.

    Ah, he sounded creepy.

    Sakura, on the other hand, he had known the moment that man came to Fuji University. After all, who wouldn't creep on the new guy? It was too much fun, or at least, it was... But now considering how mean poor mommy was, it was just plain abuse! At least Rin had a thing for the chase... And the abuse. What a masochist.

    Standing up finally, the mad scientist stretched as he grabbed his lab coat, walking straight out the door without checking the time. In fact, he was lucky. If he had checked, he would of noticed it had just hit 2:00 on the dot. Judging from his lax behavior, however, he'd take the full hour and thirty minutes to get there... Maybe even longer.

    Surprisingly, he had a brisk pace though once he hit the vending machine, a Dr. Pepper being firmly grasped as he let out a refreshed sigh, swallowing the soda's contents as he walked, a hand in his pocket.

    It wasn't long before he reached the cafe after that. Exactly on the dot, as well. Slowly, a giant, idiotic grin was spreading ear to ear as he busted inside the cafe loudly, gently putting both his hands on the raven haired female attempting to walk out as he pushed her farther inside. "RaRa, how could you let one of you're kids just walk out like that? Swan is very ashamed, darling..." Rin teased, shooting the smoking insomniac a look with nothing but jokes hidden inside it. "I missed you, baby!" The man within the white lab coat added, running over once he spotted his beautiful redheaded little assistant. "SaSa is here to-" Nearly tackling the female, she was quick to suddenly squirm and scrabble away in panic.

    [color=]"Not you again!"[/color] She hissed, suddenly giving this so called "RaRa" the worst glare possible... Only to watch Rin end up falling onto of him. All that everyone heard was a loud thud echo across the room.*

    Laying flat on the ground Sakura let out a small sigh,"Rin...what are you doing here?" The brown haired man stared at the idiotic man on top of him, who showed the expression of a small child who had just been rejected.

    Rin pouted, hands on either side of Sakura's head. "I just missed you, mama lion." The mad man whined, pulling Sakura's cheek gently. "I had to miss our classes today, after all!"

    Sakura smiled sweetly at the man, "Ah~You know what Rin?"

    "... What?"

    Sakura held the man's face between his hands, moving closer to his face with a wicked smile,"If you don't get off me in the next second. I will make sure you will never be able to walk straight ever again~" Though his mouth was curved into the sweetest smile you ever seen, but his eyes were the picture of death.

    Eyes widened as he stared into the depths of his ultimate demise. Holy Christ, was mommy scary when he wanted to be. Too scary. "W-Wait, RaRa-!" It was just his luck, the bored, ex-assistant of his had glanced over the moment she heard an all too familiar voice, and stumbled back to topple on top of Rin, causing him to do the unthinkable. How could this have happened? His first kiss, gone to bloody waste. Sango wouldn't be getting away with this embarrassment, even if it was a cruel accident, scrambling to get the female off him, and at the same time off of Sakura, Rin's eyes flickered about in worry he'd be losing his ability to stand soon.

    Sakura was frozen, he just shook his head, though a smile was on his face. Of course it was a sign of death for Rin, as he tried to run for his life. Sakura looked up at Sango kindly,"Hey, Sweetie. Can you get off of this idiot for a sec? I don't want you to gt hurt along with him." Waiting for Sango to move, Sakura looked at the frightened scientist,"I would recommend you to clench your teeth Honey~"

    "C-Come on, can't we talk about this, darling?!" Rin panicked, hands suddenly searching for and groping at Sakura's wrist. "N-No need to do anything so rash in front of the kids!" Rin pleaded, on to watch briefly as Sango stood up and laughed as she adjusted her eyes to the scene before her. Glancing down at the males, she smiled briefly.

    Nodding her head, Sango spoke up. "You're not the virgin who just lost his first kiss." Sango teased, smirking at the flustered Rin's face. "Anyway..." With that she was quick to nervously walk over the source of the original voice, leaving Rin to continue fending for himself as he threw himself off the fearsome male.

    Sakura sat up as Rin fell off of him and without another word he hit the male in the head, "You are so lucky your my friend." Leaving the male to rub his head in pain, Sakura stood up and wiped himself off. "Gosh. Know I have to burn these clothes, and clean my face. I also need to call someone to disinfect this whole place, before the stupidity spreads and everyone catches it." One after another Sakura insulted the poor man who seemed to take each hit with a dramatic expression.

    Rin cringed and whined each time an insult was thrown. "Sakura... That's hurtful..." Rin muttered, sitting up as he rubbed his head. "I only do this because I love you, sweetie." Here he goes, trying to play that stupid 'let's confuse everyone' and 'guilt' trick in one. Truly, a terrible combination for the man as he crossed his arms. "I want it back." He quickly demanded, yet quiet enough where none of the young high school students would hear them.

    Sakura shoot him the 'be quiet before I kill you' look, "Why are you here Rin? I thought you had a meeting with some important Professors at the University?" Sakura said this as he walked over to his counter and leaned back on it.

    The man paused, an actual look of remorse on his face briefly as he felt his heart truly ache. "His... wife passed away. He need to go to the hospital." The woman had been depressed for months, and it seemed like even though Rin saw her not even three days ago at the supermarket, she was too far gone. And it was yet another person who was etching their death onto his heart. Maybe he should of said something to her. Say how much more beautiful she looked that day. How he hoped she was taking care of herself. "I'll figure out the project on my own. After all, what scientist would I be if I couldn't?" Rin tried to laugh it off, but it sounded more or less broken rather than a true laugh.

    Sakura let out a sigh, than gave Rin a reassuring smile, "Would you like something to drink? I'll make your favorite?"

    As much as he would of liked it, Rin really just felt down all over again. "No thanks, Sakura-kun... Do you mind if I just... sit here?" It was almost him begging at this point, despite his tone never shifting.

    Sakura patted his head,"Sure, go ahead. I'll talk to the kids, you just rest for a while. I bet you had a rough day today." Sakura walked away from Rin, facing the children.

The ticking of the clock seemed to only add to the silence of the room. Sitting there Sakura examined the young boy in silence. It wasn't even a second later that Hiroaki glanced at Sakura, "Is there something on my face?" Sakura didn't say a word, he just sat there continuing to stare at him. Hiroaki raised a eyebrow, once again, at the strange man.

Taking a moment Sakura finally spoke, "May I ask you a question?" Hiroaki presented a blank expression. "Why did you decide to come?" Hiroaki didn't answer or it was more like, he didn't know how to answer. Looking Sakura in the eyes, Hiroaki showed, for a split second, uncertainty. "I don't know. I guess...I didn't want to go straight home...so I decided to come here instead." With that he resumed reading, and Sakura took the answer and pondered on it.

Hearing the door open Sakura was greeted with his second guest. A girl with long brown hair striding up the counter, she gave an elegant and courteous bow to him, "Excuse me. I received a text message inviting me here. Do you know who might have sent it?" she asked, raising her phone once again by way of explanation. "Also, if it's not too much trouble, could I ask for a menu? I've never been here before, so..." She trailed off into silence, not sure what to make of the situation.

Bending down Sakura handed her a menu, "Here you go. And to answer your first question, I was the one to give you the text. Though I promise you won't be here for too long. Once the rest get here I will say what I need to say and you all may leave." Giving the girl a nod Sakura turned his attention back to the door.

One by one more people entered the cafe, first it was a girl with deep red hair, and another with short brown hair. After them, two more entered, a female with black hair and finally a male with short brown hair. Following behind them was a student that gave Sakura a good laugh. Taking him only a second too glance around the room, and without a second thought he zoomed across the room to the girl with the long brown hair. Sakura watched in amusement. He reminds me of that idiot.

Not even a second later Sakura was welcomed by a small boy with bright orange hair, who looked completely lost and kind of upset. The small boy marched toward Sakura, throwing pieces of paper at him, which scattered on the ground. Sakura waited as the boy was about to speak. Tilting his head he waited for the boy to say something.

"Where am I?!", Sakura broke into a laughing fit and couldn't help but clutch his stomach, hoping to catch his breath. After catching his breath Sakura smiled brightly at him, "You are at Missing Pieces Cafe! It is very nice too meet you. You really have a talent for making people laugh. I think that was the first time someone has ever thrown something at me...scratch that, third."

Sakura bent down, picking up the pieces that fell on the ground, "Don't worry we are waiting for two more people, than I will explain everything." Sakura placed the pieces of paper neatly on the counter. He saw the boy was still staring at him, glancing at his confused face Sakura couldn't help but reach out and ruffle his hair. "You have interesting expressions, just like a little puppy. It is cute."

Sakura stopped ruffling the boy's head and looked at the small girl who appeared to be in grade school, "I too would like to know that.. but more specifically, why am I here?" He hadn't noticed her enter, maybe because she was so quiet. Sakura was about to answer but saw she was out of breath.

Smiling softly he moved over to the fridge and pulled out a large jug of water, "Well, we are awaiting one more person, than I promise to explain this whole mess. But before than here is some water, you must be tired." He handing the girl a cold glass of water. Soon he poured eight more glasses and one by one handed each person a glass.

Hearing the door chime one last time, he saw the last guest arrive. He was about to welcome her, but saw she was exiting. He was about to call out to her, when he came in. The scenes that unfolded in those few short minutes caused Sakura to almost pass out and die from embarrassment and exhaustion.

After everything was cleared up, and everyone was here, Sakura turned to the children. Taking a moment to think things through , he smiled at the kids. "Sorry, about all the confusion. I'm sure everyone here has a bunch of questions, and at this moment just want to leave. But I promise you this will be quick." Pulling out a chair Sakura sat down.

"My name is Sakura Fujiyama, and I am the owner of this cafe..." Sakura paused as if he was stuck. "Oh! I need to see everyone's invitations." Sakura glanced over at Sora giving him a toothy smile, "Even your torn up little pieces of scraps. I'm sorry if the directions were hard to follow. But I'm glad you finally found the place." Walking over to Sora, he picked up the pieces from the counter, examining them. Continuing he went around and checked each invite.

Nodding with a satisfied expression, Sakura went back to sit down. "This is good, I'm glad you all got them!" Leaning back, Sakura's expression became serious, "Now here is what is going on. Long story short, you all have been called here for a special program, called Missing Pieces. Cool huh!" He saw the faces of confusion and he continued to explain the current situation.

"The schools, Yamaguchi Preparatory, Kyuyo Senior High school, and Fuji University have asked me to work with all you as an after school activity. Basically you were all picked to make a special club of sorts to see how different groups of people interact when put together. I will be conducting special events and have various task for you guys. Of course the schools will put how much work you do towards your GPA." Sakura let out a long breath, than picked back up from where he left off, "And for those who do not attend a school, I have talked and have been told that if you participate in this they shall consider enrolling you in their school."

Sakura held up a finger, pointing at the calender, "This program will last for the remainder of the school year. The schools have discussed this with your families and all your other activities, have been notified. So it doesn't infect your schedules, we have came to the decision that we will only meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Of course there will be times we meet extra for special events, but I will inform you ahead of time, so you will not be caught off guard."

Sakura had said a week's worth of words. Feeling the exhaustion kick in, Sakura reached into his pocket and pulled out a cigarette, placing it in his mouth. Of course he didn't light it. He sat back comfortably against his chair, his back was straight and his head was tilted giving the children a sweet smile, "I know this is a lot, and I'm sure none of you expected this. But I promise this is going to be fun, and hey you might learn something new."

Sakura studied the faces of each person carefully and than looked at the time, "Well, that didn't take long. It's 4:00. We could have finished earlier if someone didn't come." Sakura sent a sharp glare at Rin who just smiled sweetly at him. Letting out a sigh, Sakura really wanted to light is cigarette, but he knew it wouldn't be good, so he would just settle for having it in his mouth. "So anyway, you guys have any questions? So we can wrap this up? If you want you guys can introduce yourselves, or you can save it for tomorrow. Whichever you prefer."
