Description

ImageImageImagePresenting Her Imperial Highness,
Image
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

BIRTH
[insert]Fuyuki Hakuryu was born on May 12 at 11:59 PM in the Imperial Household Agency Hospital at Tokyo Imperial Palace. She is the youngest and only daughter of Kyoshiro Hakuryu and Mitsuru Hakuryu. As she hailed from House Hakuryu, a branch family of the Imperial line, she became the first female direct descendant born since her Imperial Aunt, Princess Atsuko, which spanned 3 generations. Due to this special circumstance, she had been conferred with the title of Naishinnō elevating her to Imperial Princess status.

NAME
[insert]As per tradition, being recognized as an Imperial Princess, she was named by the Emperor. Her name was inspired by the Winter Cherry Blossoms which is a favorite of the Emperor. Fuyuki is written with the kanji characters for winter "冬" and princess "姫" which is said to mean, the "long-awaited princess".

FAMILY
[insert]Fuyuki is the youngest scion of Hakuryu. It is a lineage created as the Branch House of the Imperial Family upon granting Prince Hakuryu permission to start his own clan separate from the Crown Prince during the Meiji era. It is currently led by Kyoshiro Hakuryu, her father who served as a trusted confidant of the reigning Emperor who by blood is his cousin. The real strength of the Hakuryu, however, stems from its bountiful connections in various sectors or placing themselves in positions of great influence and authority. Although not granted Royal Titles with her excluded, this became an advantage for their clan. It allowed them to be part of the current government such as Mitsuru Hakuryu, her mother, being the Speaker of the House for the House of Representatives. Eisuke Hakuryu, her first brother, is not only the Heir of the family but serves as Minister of State even groomed to be the next Prime Minister. Then, there is also Setsuna Hakuryu, her second brother. He is a Colonel of the Air Force belonging to Japan's Self Defense Force. Such connections, truly made this clan even more influential than the Imperial House.

ROLE
[insert]As for Fuyuki, she had been granted a Royal Title in preparation for her to succeed her Imperial Aunt as the next Saishu or Supreme Priestess who shall be responsible for watching over the Ise Grand Shrine and all of its religious traditions and artifacts. In a sense, she shall be the guardian of Japan's first and foremost traditional religion, Shinto which connects present Japan to the ancient past.

I don't have much to say there's nothing in this name,Image
ImageNobody pines for the listener a thrill I've failed to deliver
ImageImageImage
APPEARANCE
[insert]Contrary to the namesake of Winter, Fuyuki's beauty is akin to earth's warmth. She inherited her father's brown locks similar to the shade of chocolates that had been the envy of most. The strands are pleasantly smooth and silky to the touch. They also make noise through the small bells constantly attached. It gave her the affectionate moniker of Suzu. At the same time, it seemed to have the remarkable trait to never get tangled especially with its length that reaches the soles of her feet. It said that she had never once cut it permeating a mystery. This earned her the nickname of Rapunzel. Yet, it is a trend not shared by the honey-brown eyes received from her mother. Her doe-like eyes effectively convey the spectrum of her emotions.

[insert]Then following the racial stock of ancestry, Fuyuki was born with a slender build that enhanced an elegant silhouette. From that, it is understandable as to why she does not have large bumpers which boys tend to favor the most. She is not completely flat but she would like those basketball size ones. It is actually one of her complexes and often speaks about it. Another one would be her height of 5'5". It is actually the average height for being an Asian descent and is not considered short. However, she is stunningly short compared to her foreign contemporaries. It makes things hard to reach and she envies taller people who do not need heels or ladders. There is also her milky white complexion which she compares to a ghost. It is unattractive to her and prefers darker ones like choco. That is probably why she has a fascination for foreigners with their racial traits uncommon to her being Japanese.

[insert]Despite the flaws Fuyuki sees, she is considered beautiful by her people and even foreigners. She is told to have the perfect body for her heritage and her features are delicate and refined which reminds one of a lovingly crafted doll, making her the pride of the Imperial Family as their Princess.

PERSONALITY
[insert]Fuyuki admits that she is a whimsical person with an insatiable itch called curiosity. That is why raising her is said to be a hard endeavor. It also does not help that she is doted by her family and even the Emperor. That is why she gets almost scot-free when breaking house rules like escaping her guards or even causing problems due to her tendency to be where the trouble is. Then again, this reckless and brazen behavior must be influenced by her male brothers and male cousins. She is literally the only rose among the thorns which made her tomboyish. But, it is unfitting for the future Supreme Priestess and Imperial Princess to act wildly like a boy. So, she was eventually taken in by her Imperial Aunt Atsuko where strict education was bestowed.

[insert]Like a child, Fuyuki resisted at first but eventually folded. It also became the platform to develop her natural intuition further as she is exposed to certain factors of her role. At the same time, it showcased the charm that attracts people to her. She became a fitting successor and Princess. But, it is wrong to say that she completely changed. She only donned a mask when required but would unabashedly remove it when she likes it. Everyone has a role to play, she does as needed but not as wanted. It is contradictory since she acts in a manner of whatever she likes. But, that is something she is actually stubborn about. It is her pride to do what is need. But, that is why she had mentioned a few times that other people's life is more interesting.

[insert]Due to that, Fuyuki is immensely sociable and even a constant interloper. But, she would not like it any other way.

STRENGTHS
  • Kabuki - Fuyuki had been trained in various traditional arts and this is one of them in which she shone brightly which even led her to debut in theater for a brief period of time.
  • Kagura - The traditional God-Entertainment dance performed by Shrine Maidens. Fuyuki is naturally well-versed in it but people including her Imperial Aunt had stated that her ritual dances are superb and more fantastique than anyone else.
  • Kadō - Flowers fascinated Fuyuki even as child. She even said once that it speaks to her so this everyday lesson became a hobby of hers especially when she is contemplating something quite seriously.
  • Chadō - One of the three traditional refinement arts, Fuyuki naturally studies it. But, it has gone beyond that as she took passion in it more than as a mere student. It is said that if one visits the Hakuryu, it is usually for her tea.
  • Kōdō - In Japan, the way the scents are burned is an art like none other. It started as mundane but Fuyuki eventually got interested when she suffered one sleepless night and the knowledge helped her considerably.
  • Calligraphy - Writing frequently is not something Fuyuki likes but having people interpret the meaning in each of her brushstrokes is interesting to warrant her passion in the art.
  • Koto/Shamisen - Traditional music is also one Fuyuki's forte specifically the strumming of the Koto and the Shamisen. It is often asked of her to play in parties and gatherings especially when hosted by the Imperial Family or Hakuryu.
  • O-mikuji - As the next Supreme Priestess, she is taught fortune-telling and making charms. But, she is rather exceedingly talented that it scares those closest to her. So, it has been restricted for her to use it unless there is a fee.
  • Poker - It is indeed not traditional, but her brothers had taught her that being good in this game will do her well in the future and she had eventually even bested her brothers in the process.
WEAKNESSES
  • Thunder/Lightning - Whenever it lights the sky and echoes through the air, Fuyuki cannot help but fear it. This is a scar that always hurts every time the weather flashes and rumbles.
  • Ghosts - As the next Supreme Priestess, talks about spirits, ghosts, and evil souls should make Fuyuki resistant to its horrors and nature. But, it makes her skin crawl and it will always be something she does not like.
  • Cats - This is a biological condition Fuyuki has no control over. She likes the feline species but their hair does not mesh with her, triggering her allergy. It makes her sneeze consistently unless she distances herself from the source.
  • Chocolate - It is no allergy or trauma. Instead, she is a glutton for the dark brown sweet which makes her rather hard or easy to control depending on the situation.
SECRETS
  • Promised - It is natural that the rich and powerful keep their powers limited around their circle or extend it upwards. So, it is expected that Hakuryu would want to have greater influence, and daughters like her are always perfect for such a union. So, she is engaged to a prominent family heir.
  • Information Broker - Due to Fuyuki's status, lineage,and position, she is in good spot to gather various information. It allows her also to be privy in matters that should not be known. Some of it she shares with her family. Some, she keeps for herself. Some, she sells for a price. But, there is no doubt in anyone's mind that she certainly knows more than meets the eye.

There's method in madness, there's no logic in your sadness,Image
Imageyou don't gain a single thing from misery, take it from me
ImageImageImage
PERSONAL LIFE
[insert]Born to an opportune moment, Fuyuki is granted a privileged life as a Hakuryu and the future Supreme Priestess or Saishu of the Ise Grand Shrine connected to the Divine Goddess Amaterasu. This shrine is entrusted to the Imperial Royal Family and only females born from the Imperial Family Clan can be its Priestess. However, there were no daughters born to the Main Family for 3 generations until her. Even if she belongs to just a branch family of the Imperial Clan, she still holds the Imperial Blood and was considered as the next Supreme Priestess, and eventually, she was conferred with a royal status for good measure.

[insert] As to be expected of the only daughter, Fuyuki has been doted by her family and Imperial relatives. That is why she had grown rather spoiled and not minding the consequences of her actions. She is also heavily influenced by the boys around her and grew up to be quite the tomboy having the penchant for brazen and mischievous deeds. It could be said that her wild antics eventually led to the incident that made her fear the flash of lightning and the roar of thunder ever since. This also prompted the decision for her to be taken in by her Imperial Aunt Atsuko to be properly raised as the next Supreme Priestess and Imperial Princess of her generation.

[insert]Now during Fuyuki's stay with her Imperial Aunt, she still was up to her old antics but not as frequent as before. It was at one of these events that she met Kazuki Miyamoto. Her Imperial Aunt was a client of his mother who came for a personal matter in which he was taken along. Eventually, that one meeting became frequent and they developed a good relationship. This eventually soured when his parents die. His situation worsened and she did not reach out like a good friend should do. She remained distant and slowly became a memory for him and herself.

[insert]Time moves on without waiting. Then, Fuyuki was soon enough paired with the son of a prominent family. They were even arranged to meet but what was to be expected between two children. Yet, it did make an impression on her. That she does look forward to becoming his wife in the future. But of course, this is purely a logical move and none of the romance. To note though, they never met again after that. But, it could be a blessing as she is granted a fateful encounter in the form of a girl with the same age as hers. This also gave her another impression which slowly made the cogs turned.

[insert]Years passed and Fuyuki is now a Senior High School student at a Private All-Girl's School. Then, she was informed that she would be transferred to Airdalen Academy. The reason was never cleared to her or would they give her enough sense to make of the situation why her sudden transfer. Because of the question mark, she decided to complain about it. She actually liked her school and did not want to leave it for no good reason. That is when she was presented by her brothers a piece of information that the prospected husband for her is there. It seems that to ensure that the engagement proceeds smoothly is for them to bond over before the formal announcement.

[insert]Fuyuki was indeed curious about that boy she met once and what he has become. So, she proceeded with the transfer. It was then she also found out about certain individuals that created fissures inside of her. It would appear that the transfer idea was quite a good one. The fascination, the curiosity, and the cogs were now turning at full speed. She cannot help but think that her last days as a High School student has certainly become fun. It seems that High School life is indeed the best of one's youth.

Fuyuki was a little sad when the whistle blew. That usually meant the game had ended. There was no other way for her to interpret it as something else. "Oh well, it was a good run!" She lifted herself with that statement while humming happily which was also her means to hide the electric stabbing pains coming from her twisted right ankle. Her impression left everyone that she was fine, but if one would really take good time to analyze her gait and steps, she was obviously favoring a foot.

As for the one who was injured, she was still happily skipping about, looking for her teammates to report her success in getting three flags, before turning them over and all. Her acacia-hued eyes looked all over the gymnasium and soon found the familiar faces of her teammates, but there were new faces around them. "Heyo!" Whether she was oblivious of what was happening or not, it can't be confirmed as she closed in the group with a bright smile on her face. "I managed to get three flags!" She proudly showed it by raising her hand. She should be since her flags were not taken at all. She did well, so a little pride won't hurt right?

"Hmm?" She blinked her eyes innocently and with a hint of confusion as she saw So-kun being cornered by a new face (Rocco), while her teammate Kitogawa, Shiori and another unfamiliar girl (Yuuki) were somewhat negotiating a peace truce?That's how her mind works at the moment. Well, it wasn't like she was here at the start of this episode, so all she could really do was guess the missing points. "Now, now, I guess the tag rugby had left everyone with such high energy isn't it?" She looked at the four with still a smile on her face. "Shall we have that energy of everyone be directed to something more productive?" She asked in a friendly manner while looking at the new guy (Rocco) then to Sora. She could guess that So-kun's honesty brought him misunderstanding.

"I am Hakuryu, Fuyuki. a member of the Inryoku. I will be serving there during lunch, so please come." She then straightened her posture indicating the air of nobility around her as she perfectly delivered a formal bow as the bells around her hair jingled with her movements. "I will be pleased to serve you and of course, free of charge." She then looked back at So-kun. "So-kun is a straightforward person. So, I would advise to take everything he says as it is. Now, I don't think you could refuse the requests of such beautiful ladies to release, So-kun, right?" She gazed towards Kitogawa and then at the other girl (Yuuki) then had a thoughtful expression as she tapped her lips with a finger. "Let's see... as a bonus, I'll tell you something interesting about Kim-san."

At that point, one who is sharp would know that Fuyuki is not as simple as she perceived to be. She observes around her at a more in-depth method. As for her intentions, they were perfectly concealed. "Of course, whether you accept it or not, or use it or not. I will leave that at your discretion. After all, it's a game just for you." Her smile did not express any sinister or any hidden agenda. It was just bright and friendly. Her eyes also did not help as it only held a mysterious warmth. But her words definitely carried a weight implying she was not as it seems. "Now." She clapped her hands together. "So-kun, you're charming as ever, aren't you?" She added a light giggle at the end of that echoed by the sound of bells.

"Excuse me, I am Kitogawa, Shiori... the female Senior Class Representative.. if you wish to avoid a visit to the principal, I advise you to release my fellow Senior class representative." The school’s authority already hounding his ass was impressive. He expected them to turn a blind eye or take longer to confront him especially hearing the feminine voice all on her lonesome. Her glare was in vain as Rocco kept his focus on Sora to not give the guy the opportunity to escape but the strength in her voice got across crystal clear. “Murray, Rocco, advice not taken and you’re excused.” To show how unshaken he was by the other senior class rep, his hold on Sora became more forceful with his knuckles digging against Sora's throat with enough force to make him cough.

"In Japan, we respect our seniors. It is not a matter of whether they deserve it or not, your seniors do not have to earn your respect. It is simply good form to be a civil human being. You would do well to remember that." Rocco sighed aloud like Shiori was simply a nuisance to him. “So you're telling me this, to be a civil human being we have to accept that anyone older than us is the boss? If life works like that here, respect no matter what.. no wonder we have scum for seniors. You must feel so self-entitled." he spat out the last sentence mostly to Sora. "but then..what if I don’t want to be a civil. human. being.” his face did not show that he was letting up even a little bit. If anything, it grew more intensely threatening.

"Would someone mind telling me what is going on?" Prez.. Rocco was shocked hearing Yuuki approach and being caught in the act of hurting the senior she attended the dance with and went out of her way to protect. He felt a tinge sheepish even but he had already gone too far to quit now. To quit now would make him look bad and he didn't want people to take him for a guy with cheap threats. What am I thinking. Why does it matter if she saw me? This guy is a complete loser. He glared at Sora, avoiding eye contact with the girls trying to stop him. It's better if she and everybody sees how pathetic this guy is. "Are you done, or is this going to become an issue for the school staff to handle?" Rocco chuckled eerily comparable to a madman, obviously not taking Shiori seriously. He wasn't going to be intimidated by anybody especially not a girl.

"We can avoid all that, I'm sure... Right, Murray-san, Harigae-Senpai?" She's full of surprises that one. The situation must have been obvious to Yuuki now that she had a clear view of what Rocco was up to with Sora but yet, she was not lecturing him like the other class rep Shiori which he would have expected most. He closed his eyes and put on a matter-of-fact tone, “Ask him that. He butted in and how pathetic. Really? Starting something he can’t finish.” "Violence is so overrated. Release Harigae-San and apologize, then I can overlook this without involving the teacher or the principal." Rocco finally acknowledged Shiori, glancing her way to see how serious she was. The more he looked at her, the more he couldn't take her seriously and started to snicker with a twisted expression. The senior was smaller than him and slender with a cutesy appeal. No matter how hard she glared and stared him down, he just thought of a barking chihuahua. “You do you. I’ll be done when you come back.” he said sarcastically before returning his full attention to Sora. “So--” Keeping the hand holding Sora up in place, he flexed his opposite hand's fingers ready to carry on with his threats but he had almost forgotten Yuuki.

Her hand grasped his wrist and he was forced to direct his attention to her and her gold hues that persisted with faith that he'd come around to do the right thing. "Let's not ruin the game. Didn't you say this room was supposed to be where games are meant to be played? We shouldn't ruin the fun by fighting." Rocco's eyes couldn't hide their surprise as they widened the more she spoke. She remembered something as silly as that? Yuuki always berated him for teasing or getting close so he never thought she'd take anything he said seriously enough to commit to memory. "If we are to ever be friends, you have to let Harigae-Senpai go. He's one of my friends and a Class Representative, just like Kitogawa-Senpai." Friends? Rocco shook his head, his brown tousled hair falling over his eyes. “You’re making me look bad, Prez.” Rocco tried to say jokingly with a forced smile in a hushed voice that only she could hear but the tone was not nearly cheerful enough to how he normally was. He came to Japan with the mindset he wasn't looking for friends after the ones he had abandoned him. Friends are a temporary high but you-- Rocco glared at Sora some more underneath his fringe. They come running for you and what do you do? You're useless. He clenched his other hand into a fist, kind of jealous because nobody gave a damn when he was in trouble.. when his dad...

Lost in memories, lost in trauma he had missed the next girl to come by's words up until the point she introduced herself to him.
"I am Hakuryu, Fuyuki. a member of the Inryoku. I will be serving there during lunch, so please come." Oh god, why are all the girls calling me out on this? Rocco was growing embarrassed but he didn't let any of that show aside from lowering Sora to his feet because he was growing tired of lifting the guy. Fuyuki was without a doubt upper class, her posture and bow a little too much for the situation but it must have been a habit. Rocco was also confused why she was inviting the aggressor to her club but he would listen first before jumping to conclusions. "I will be pleased to serve you and of course, free of charge.""So-kun is a straightforward person. So, I would advise to take everything he says as it is. Now, I don't think you could refuse the requests of such beautiful ladies to release, So-kun, right?" Rocco's lips twitched into a smirk. All three girls had different ways of trying to get him to stop but Fuyuki was selling it. She didn't stop him with threats of the principal, threats of relationship damage... but a free meal? You've got to be-- He was going to think joking but she cut him off with an unexpected bribe. "Let's see... as a bonus, I'll tell you something interesting about Kim-san." Rocco held his breath.

"Of course, whether you accept it or not, or use it or not. I will leave that at your discretion. After all, it's a game just for you." His smirk widened into a complete and proud one. He didn't know what tipped Fuyuki off that he was interested in any information about Ursula but that would be worth forgetting about Sora. "You drive a hard bargain. Now, you're speaking my language." He clicked his fingers and withdrew his grip on the senior nonchalantly and ungraciously sudden like a child who lost interest in a toy that required Sora to be quick to catch his balance. The situation was diffused, his smirk transitioning into an innocent smile as he brushed back his fringe with his fingers and pocketed his hands. He wouldn't admit it to anybody but he was relieved that Fuyuki provided him with an excuse to stop that kept his pride intact... it was getting too crowded and suffocating in his shoes.

On his way to join Fuyuki for their little deal, he patted Yuuki on the head to show that he had no harsh feelings towards her and leaned down to whisper into the senior class president Shiori's ear. "Looks like you're not the one overlooking this. I am. You would do well to remember that." he moved away and poked his tongue out, trying to see if he could stir a reaction before reaching Fuyuki's side. He wrapped an arm around her shoulder boldly, the same arm he used to hold Sora. “So, let’s talk.” His eyes narrowed but he was all smiles. It was hard to believe he had been aggressive just minutes ago but he was good at switching back and forth. Gradually as they'd walk together, he noticed something was off. He looked down to observe her steps for a few seconds when it clicked. "I'm not the only one who got into a little trouble, huh?" He'd hold her closer so she could lean against him for support until they reached a sitting spot. "I know we just met but mind if I undress you a bit?" he said suggestively, but only talking about removing her shoes and socks to check for the reason she couldn't walk right when they got seated.

“Murray, Rocco, advice not taken and you’re excused.”

Scoffing at his attitude, Shiori did not step away an inch from where she stood. Could there honestly be a more intolerable twit...? Shiori thought as she unflinchingly kept her ground. Her fists clenched when she noticed him becoming more violent, mentally cursing herself for making matters worse. She only had a few options, given he was bigger than her. First, she could fetch the teacher as she threatened to do... Second, she could walk away as he asked, but she was not about to let him intimidate her, so that was off the table. Third, she could actually pick something up and hit him with it... but that would get her in trouble as well... Regardless of her choice, it seemed this was a complex issue that she was not mentally or socially prepared to face. With a sigh, she decided to make a fourth option. She was going to see this through, even if she wasn't sure what to do. She would never learn to handle people if she ran away or threw problems off on others. Besides, if she didn't deal with this head on, it would make her look weak.

"Would someone mind telling me what is going on?"

Although she kept a straight face, Shiori was so happy that Yuuki showed up to help she could have nearly kissed her. Shiori knew she was in over her head, but she wasn't about to show weakness or abandon Sora either, "Yet another case of toxic masculinity." Shiori stated in a collected tone, it was obvious to those who knew about the incident that she was referring to the first guy that was beating on Sora over Yuuki and now Rocco. Yuuki nodded her head, though she was left very confused still. What started it? Why? The expressions on his face, the laugh he made, all of it was starting to creep Yuuki out quite a bit. She didn't understand why he was acting like that. Despite being bullied all throughout her school career, she had never seen someone behave quite like that.

“Ask him that. He butted in and how pathetic. Really? Starting something he can’t finish.”

"Do you honestly think someone like me could, either? How am I any different than Harigae-Senpai in that regard? As a class president it is my responsibility to interfere yet you helped me yesterday." She explained, doing her best to make him see that he was damning Sora for something she often did as well. Taking a deep breath in, despite how nervous he was making her at the moment, Yuuki decided to further her argument by saying something that likely wouldn't be advised by the school staff when diffusing a situation, "If he deserves to be handled this way for speaking out of turn, then by that logic, so do I." [/color] she challenged, hoping it would have more effect than Shiori's argument about violence. It was becoming fairly obvious to Yuuki that Shiori was just as bad with people as she was, if not more. Yuuki could not fault her for that, but she wanted to make things calmer, not ignite the fury further with threats.

“You do you. I’ll be done when you come back.”

"The only bright side to that would be I'd never have to look at you again." Shiori snapped back icily. She was growing impatient. Usually, those who knew her family name listened, but this guy obviously didn't know who she was or how much money she possessed.

“You’re making me look bad, Prez.”

"Then prove me right about you and let him go." She responded in a serious tone, despite the shaking of her fingers. The surprised look on his face baffled her. She didn't understand why he was surprised by her quoting his words. More so, Yuuki was scared of his recent behavior, but her expression did not give it away aside from her eyes. She was doing everything in her power to keep this from being a repeat of the other day. Shiori's eyes were fixated on Rocco and Yuuki as she watched the two interact. She wasn't sure what was being said exactly, but just watching how differently he behaved with Yuuki was very intriguing. She wasn't sure if it was her approach or something else, but Yuuki definitely seemed to reach him in a way that she wasn't able to. Her eyes shifted to Sora, wondering how he felt in all of this. He had been so quiet..

"I am Hakuryu, Fuyuki. a member of the Inryoku. I will be serving there during lunch, so please come. I will be pleased to serve you and of course, free of charge. So-kun is a straightforward person. So, I would advise to take everything he says as it is. Now, I don't think you could refuse the requests of such beautiful ladies to release, So-kun, right?"

A sweat drop fell down Shiori's forehead. You seriously invite a psychopath to Inryoku? Are you crazy? At least it's not my shift today... Shiori thought to herself, obviously not pleased with the offer, but she wasn't going to make it known as to why. The last thing she wanted was for people who annoyed her to find out about the one place she would be forced by duty to tolerate them.

"Let's see... as a bonus, I'll tell you something interesting about Kim-san. Of course, whether you accept it or not, or use it or not. I will leave that at your discretion. After all, it's a game just for you."

Oh? Shiori smirked to herself a bit, closing her eyes at this small detail she managed to overhear. This was interesting. I wonder how she would feel if she knew you were giving away information about her, hm? She thought to herself. Yuuki let go of Rocco, turning her attention to Fuyuki, but also looking to Shiori. Who is Kim-san? Shiori put her finger to her lips, indicating for Yuuki to say nothing. Nodding her head, she silently agreed to wait. She could ask later because if this worked that was all that mattered. She didn't care who made the violence quit, as long as someone got through to Rocco.

"You drive a hard bargain. Now, you're speaking my language."

Upon Rocco's hand touching her head Yuuki tensed a little, brushing his hand away with her own. It wasn't an intentional denial meant to hurt him or make him angry, but she was still upset, in a great deal of shock. He was nowhere near the type of person she had pegged him for and she wasn't sure how she felt about his behavior. She instead moved on to check on Sora, it was a lot easier to handle and he was the one that was being choked, "Are you alright, Harigae-Senpai?" she asked, both of her hands on his upper arms, ready to steady him to the best of her ability if need be.

Upon being approached, Shiori held her breath. It was the only thing that kept her from shoving Rocco away as hard as she could. While being physically close to her friends and family was hard, she absolutely despised being close to those she hated, and she decided that she could not stand Rocco. It appeared he wanted to say something discreetly, and she wanted to hear it. At this point, her blood was boiling, and she knew she did not like this guy at all. Yuuki did not witness this, as she was checking on Sora.

"Looks like you're not the one overlooking this. I am. You would do well to remember that."

Image


"Too bad you don't scare me either. I've been on the business end of people like you before." She stated just as quietly before he moved away. Her fists were clenched so hard that her nails actually broke the skin on the inside of her palms. She wasn't just angry with Rocco, she was angry with herself. She was so small, her words held no weight. She didn't have the relationship with him that Yuuki seemed to, nor did she believe in negotiating with terrorists like Fuyuki had. Once Rocco and Fuyuki left, Shiori returned her gaze to Sora and Yuuki, "Make sure he is alright, Fujioka-san. If need be, escort him to the nurse. I'll take my leave now. It seems I wasn't suited for this anyhow." Shiori sighed, throwing her hair over her shoulder and taking her leave. Shiori gave her belt to Gen so it could be counted, not making eye contact with her and walked out of the gym, slamming the door behind her angrily. She didn't have any tags left anyway, and she didn't manage to snag anyone elses. She kept walking down the hall until she met the doors that led outside and she made her way out. She didn't relax until she took a breath of fresh air, walking over to one of the trees. She stood behind it, doing her best to conceal herself just in case the teacher or Yuuki decided to come after her. Leaning against the trunk she opened her clenched fist, trace amounts of blood around the cuts in her palm that were in the exact shape of the tips of her nails. Why do I bother..? Today has proven I'm not good with people... First Browning-san before gym class... then I failed to helo Harigae-san. Maybe it's better to go back to how things were last year.. Maybe I should give up trying to change? It's too hard... she could feel her eyes beginning to water, her frustration with herself about to make her cry.

In the meantime, Yuuki remained with Sora, looking to him concerned as she waited for him to adjust to everything that just happened. As much as she wanted to stay away from him, it seemed that incidents just kept pulling her back to him. She didn't want to see him hurt. As much as she was trying to avoid it, she had developed a friendship, even if she still refused to admit it, "Gomenasai.." she apologized, knowing full and well she was just as ineffective as Shiori had been. Two times in a row she needed assistance when coming to his aid. Last time it had been Rocco, and this time Fuyuki. It was incredibly frustrating that she couldn't do anything on her own, and despite feeling grateful to Fuyuki, Yuuki couldn't stop herself from despising her. She couldn't condone bribery, especially when it had to deal with information on other people. Yuuki knew she wouldn't appreciate it if someone went around telling other people stuff about her, "Do you want to see the nurse?" She asked, trying to keep him distracted from her, to keep herself from being pulled into another embarrassing hug. There were way too many students around, and she doubted she could handle it a second time. Things were becoming far too complicated.

It was in that moment, that Bishop realized-once again, he was more or less by himself. He silently contemplated the circumstances that had come up to this end result. There was a small frown across his face looking around at everyone else, it was a wall of white noise that he felt alienated to. Kids talking, laughing and maybe something more in a different part of the gymnasium. He couldn't make out too much of the commotion in all honesty as some students had gathered. He sighed and crossed his arms leaning back against the bleachers behind him just waiting..... He didn't know for what though. He was used to it, always the person waiting on something. Whether his turn in a line, a discussion to end, to have himself considered seriously for something or for someone's attention. "You still got one?" A familiar voice snapped Bishop out of the spiral that was beginning to develop in his head, Akira. "Ah, yeah. I managed to hang on to it. What about you?" The junior smiled, happy to have some company to talk to. In the past few days, a lot had happened to him and Akira seemed to be a genuine friend that was there. Not for everything, but was there non-the less. Which reminded him. "Ah, I looked out for Mai as best I could. But near the end, I don't know what happened to her. Do you?" There was a hint of concern to his voice. He knew it was a game and the likelihood of serious injury was small, but Mai always struck him as a frail girl. He was still debating internally with wanting to look out for her, but not coddle the girl. Maybe he was thinking too much, if he was in her (Mai's) position.

As the instructor addressed the class, his eyes lit up as he had forgotten to grab his name for Kris Kringle. "Oh crap! I forgot! Hang on Blake-San." Bishop hopped up and would beeline it towards the container holding names. There were barely any left, so he reached in and grabbed the first paper he could wrap his fingers around and pulled it out. Without looking at it, he made his way back towards Akira finally unfolding it to read the name. "Fuyuki Ha-" He didn't need to the read the name any further. Bishop blushed recognizing his own senior partner Fuyuki! His red cheeks were easy enough to see from mostly any perspective as he read the name over and over and over again trying to fathom what his future was going to hold. This new development was both very convenient and yet extremely difficult knowing exactly who this girl (Fuyuki) was, but nothing about her beyond that she was a girl and she was responsible for him. <I'm supposed to get her something by Monday!?>

Bishop sighed and shoved the paper in his pocket looking up to Akira with a defeated expression. "Let's get out of here. I don't even know, do we have class next or are we done for the day?" With his mind scattered about in seven different place, Bishop was tracking time with difficulty. Walking at whatever pace he (Akira) wanted, the blonde made his way to the locker room to freshen up and change. He was already over this day. "So..... Who's you Kris Kringle? You can tell me right? If it's not me, I guess. Hehehe." Bishop's attempt to brighten his mood always stemmed from brightening someone else's, maybe by doing that he could shake off the funk that's been plaguing him for the past few days.

Kazuki's line of sight was locked on Fuyuki's form as he made his way towards her, but it was eventually blocked by an annoying pain-in-the-butt math teacher who also doubles as his parole officer. "Hey!" He shouted in displeasure of being blocked. He really doesn't have the time to play the argue-run away game with his uncle right now, so he decided to walk passed him. "You're not going anywhere. You're serving in the cafeteria NOW." He would have just ignore those words like air, but his arm was grabbed with a tight grip. "Fuck! Let me go! I have no time for this!" He aggressively pulled his arm away and then looked at the direction where Fuyuki should be, but she wasn't there anymore. "Shit!"

He completely forgotten his uncle and was about to bail by running, but his collar pulled at the exact moment, making him lose balance. This effectively made him sit on the floor unceremoniously. "The hell! Let me go dominator! I'll play with you later!" Hayashi was clearly losing his patience and a vein was popping on his forehead. The other students still present even with gym class already dismissed kept their distance, but was clearly entertained of what they're seeing. "Shut it! You shouldn't have started a street fight!" This certainly took Kazuki's attention as he stopped struggling and looked at his current captor. "What are you saying?"

Hayashi sighed still not letting go of Kazuki's collar. "The school board had agreed to not make this an expulsion." That word really didn't mean anything scary for the Hellion of Airdalen, but he was rather annoyed of the thought of being threatened with it. "Cafeteria duty was the punishment given to you. You will serve there for a week." Kazuki clicked his tongue in anger. "Eh!? Why just me!? I wasn't the one who started the fight to begin with! It's---" He was effectively cut by Hayashi. "Belrose-san would be serving with you." Kazuki had thought knowing that the blonde prick was being punished would make him feel good. Instead, he was not liking it at all. "WHAT!? Why do I need to serve with that Flowerpuff Prince!?"

A good knock on the noggin' was served to Kazuki. "Quiet! You should have thought more carefully of your actions then! Let's go! Those meals can't be served!" At this point, Kazuki was literally being dragged across the floor while he struggled from his uncle's iron-vice grip. "I don't wanna! I've something else far important to do!" But, his complaints had fallen on deaf ears. But, suddenly, Kazuki's fell into silence which made Hayashi worry. When this happens, his nephew was plotting something that spells MAJOR TROUBLE or he had escaped. He looked at Kazuki but, found the guy staring in the distance, probably at something.

What Kazuki saw was Fuyuki being escorted by some guy in an intimate manner. His hands formed into fists. His eyes filled with a sad longing meshed with confusion. Hayashi had never seen his nephew have that complex expression. This was a surprise. "Do you know the new transfer student? Hakuryu, Fuyuki?" Kazuki didn't look away. "Hey... Is it that easy to just abandon someone?" The question was like a curve ball. "Forget it. Let me go. I'll come with you." Normally, Hayashi won't believe Kazuki, but, he can sense that he could this time, so he did. Kazuki stood up and placed his hands inside his pockets. "Let's get out of here." Just like that, Hayashi knew that the new student Hakuryu, Fuyuki was something else.

#, as written by Tinkers


Sora wanted to give a mountain of comebacks but he coughed instead, Rocco restraining his breathing pretty well. The Junior was strong, stronger than he looked and stronger than Sora. He really had no athletic aptitude and he was lifted effortlessly like a lightweight object, his feet dangling in the air. There was no competition to be had, Rocco had the upper hand out of them."You-" Sora began but didn't complete his words, coughing more. A lot of the conversation went over his head but there was hope behind his blue gaze when Shiori and Yuuki arrived.

"Do you honestly think someone like me could, either? How am I any different than Harigae-Senpai in that regard? As a class president it is my responsibility to interfere yet you helped me yesterday."

"helped-" He coughed again, the compromising position really shutting him up. He wanted to ask what this junior helped her with because he had just missed the time Rocco saved Yuuki before. Being strangled was not helpful.

"If we are to ever be friends, you have to let Harigae-Senpai go. He's one of my friends and a Class Representative, just like Kitogawa-Senpai."

Sora's eyes stared steadily at Yuuki when she called him her friend. He was still struggling to breathe that he might just pass out but he couldn't get his eyes off her. He was glad they were friends and to hear it out loud was a wonderful truth to behold. He did not forget Shiori's help but they were class presidents for the senior year together. It was professional over personal and she did not say anything as sweet as that about him. Fuyuki joined but Sora was shut out of everything, desperate to breathe. His hands tried to pry Rocco off at last because he couldn't take it anymore but something must have happened in the discussion because he was dropped. The unexpected turn made Sora stumble and with no strength to stand, he gave up on that.

"Are you alright, Harigae-Senpai?"

Yuuki moved to hold his upper arms but it was no use and he didn't want to cough on her. He shook his head to signal her it was not working out. Sora held onto his throat and fell to his knees eventually on all fours on the gym court, coughing everything out. Rocco's grip was gone but he could still feel those vile fingers crushing him.

"So-kun, you're charming as ever, aren't you?"

In his current state he could not reply before Fuyuki left with Rocco. He did not understand why they were together but he didn't care if it meant Rocco was leaving him alone. He knows he owes Fuyuki for the save too. Something she said made Rocco stop immediately. He didn't understand that Fuyuki might be jabbing him by describing him as charming with the happening of being strangled so his relationship with her remained undamaged.

"Gomenasai..Do you want to see the nurse?"

Shiori must have left when he was not paying attention, his hand removed from his throat when the sickening feeling left him. He fixed himself to sit back against the wall for support. "No. I can breathe again and I don't think CPR would help." Sora didn't know any medical procedures for breathing but CPR and making out with the school nurse was not what he wanted. It would take his breath more than it would give, just like any kiss. "That junior... I don't like him. I've never met anyone so repulsive. The look in his eyes.."
Sora was no alien to bullying. It was common for the school's valedictorians but Rocco was not an ordinary bully. It was like he enjoyed torture and wanted nothing more than to break him. He felt violated. "You should stay away from him Fujioka-san and you should never be friends. He's dangerous." He had heard Yuuki say "If we are to ever be friends.." and did not approve but he could not speak then so he would do it now.

"Our winners for today are tied between Team Blue and Team Violet! Because of that, the ultimate grade winner are the Seniors!"
"Okay! Class Dismissed! Everyone got their Kris Kringle? Don't forget to deliver your gifts on Monday! HO-ho-ho!!"


Mr Kido dismissed the class and somehow his blue team had won. He did not see the rest of his team's performance because he was distracted by the bully Rocco. "We won, wow." he said, before his eyes turned to the corner where he last dropped his kris kringle box. "I have to make sure all the seniors have a Kris Kringle... and get changed..." He thought aloud. Even after the incident, his responsibility as a class president was unwavering. His responsibility owed to Airdalen was something immovable and constant in him, that, and his unfiltered mouth.

Image"Thank you again, Fujioka-san." He leaned forward not giving her a chance to escape, nuzzling nose to nose. Sora was like a happy adorable puppy. He withdrew, a smile and his bangs a little messily falling over an eye. Some classmates nearby had gasped thinking they were going to kiss but no, he was innocent this time in showing his gratitude. "You're always there when I need someone. I don't know why but it makes me happy." he stated like it was fact instead of an honest confession of his feelings.

Like clockwork, information was indeed a power and a dangerous one to have. Yet at the same time, it does provide an avenue of escape, depending on how it is used. She only did so at the desire to smooth things and not have it escalate to a point which all involved did not desire. As for being touched, Fuyuki wasn't sensitive about it. Her limitations in such actions have a rather high tolerance, though, she can't guarantee it to those who are bound to ensure her purity. For now though, this guy should be on the clear, so she didn't say anything about the arm around her shoulder. "Sure!" She replied with her usual cheerful tone. She didn't approach So-kun at this point as she was certain that Kitogawa and that other girl would tend to her blue-haired friend. She is worried, of course, but there were appropriate times for her to do that, not right now though.

She walked to this person's face without easing the pressure on her twisted ankle. Speaking of which, she forgot something important. "Oh! That's right! I think it's not good to discuss business if I don't know your name." She looked at him with those beautiful acacia-hued eyes of hers. It showed her friendly curiosity and nothing else. "I can't call you.. you all the time." She added with a pout. It was then he mentioned about trouble. His play with words and subtlety were interesting. It also made her realize that this guy was indeed sharp. noticing her own form of trouble. "It's probably why I know how to get you out of trouble, don't you think?" She also know how to use words to her playful nature. At that point, she felt being held closer and that brought warmth to her. Then, he followed it up with a series of suggestive words, that she couldn't help but giggle in pure delight.

"I guess I have a gentleman thief as my companion, eh?" She said this in a sincere expression of joy and interest. She leaned onto him. She won't push away help when it's offered. "I don't mind at all. but you're only allowed to steal my gratitude, okay?" There was no bad blood or underhanded intentions radiating from her smiling face. She was genuinely pleased with him as her companion at the moment. Then, they soon reached some vacant seats where she comfortably sat. That was when the teacher announced the winner which included her team and year as well that class is dismissed. "Ohh!!! We won! I guess I'm not a failure of a senior!" She clapped her hands happily at that thought. "Oh, I should ask B-kun and Jay-chan for a reward!"

Her attention then returned to her current companion. "That's right. It's also time for your reward." Her eyes looked at him with cheer and the subtle undertone of warmth. "You are a good boy." Her hand reached out and was placed on top of his head. She then gently patted it. There was also a smile present on her lips, but it wasn't meant to show mercy, empty praise, or conniving lie. It was showing her honest fondness for him which was odd since his impression was not meant to invite positive emotions. "I like it. This secret, I'll keep it." She added happily. "Now, onto business. I would prefer talking this over lunch, but I do have to work at Inryoku. So, we can't talk properly." She then pulled back her hand from his head and clapped it together. "Oh, I didn't forget. Lunch is still free! So, come okay?" This time her hands were now placed on both of his shoulders. She then leaned forward and whispered to his ear. "Kim-san is seeking justice for something she had lost." She then pulled away and smiled that held an unfathomable meaning. "She's my precious friend, so please look after her." Her eyes reflected a subtle meaning as the bells followed her.

Rocco felt it, eyes glaring a hole at his back but he didn't know Kazuki or that it was a guy who had a relationship with the girl in his arms. He had been hanging out with chicks since he enrolled. So, it was bound to rub someone the wrong way and he ignored it. Fuyuki was also more than happy to be by his side, playing along with his flirts and movements like second nature. "Oh! That's right! I think it's not good to discuss business if I don't know your name." His soft brown eyes met hers and the childish pout on her lips. "I can't call you.. you all the time." He sighed, acting like they had a big problem on their hands. “I guess not. What about 'Stud' or 'Sugar?' he smirked, looking back at Fuyuki with no sign of embarrassment. He wasn't scared to hit on pretty girls. “Murray, Rocco.” he eventually gave his name before pulling her closer.

"It's probably why I know how to get you out of trouble, don't you think?" Rocco had nothing to say to that because it was a good one. There was more to Fuyuki than meets the eye now that he gave pause to think it over. Is she like Ursula? She did bribe me. She began to giggle like she was having a ball with him. He didn't think it would be this easy to pick up a girl after being aggressive. "I guess I have a gentleman thief as my companion, eh?" Gentleman thief? He lightly drummed his fingers on her shoulder and waited for her to continue. "I don't mind at all. but you're only allowed to steal my gratitude, okay?" Fuyuki said with a beautiful smile that made it hard to doubt her as anything but innocent. “I don't know about that. Once I get started, I get greedy.”

But innocent girls don't bribe. His thought trail reflected back on Yuuki as a really innocent girl, to the few seconds where she brushed his hand away. Did she hate him now? "Do you honestly think someone like me could, either? How am I any different than Harigae-Senpai in that regard?""If he deserves to be handled this way for speaking out of turn, then by that logic, so do I." You're a girl. he replied in his head. Damn, how do you not realize that?

As Fuyuki sat, he only crouched in front of her to get to work on whatever was up with her leg. He traced a fingertip down from her knee to her foot, finding the problem. When the teacher started talking, he was in the middle of untying her shoelaces. He was too distracted by looking after Fuyuki and his dirty mind to hear what on earth Mr. Kido was saying. He had been an aggressive bully with Sora but he was nothing short of gentle in his treatment of her. He removed her right shoe and sock, caressing her foot in his hands inspecting the damage. A sprain, I think? He wasn't a doctor but he got beat up a lot and a lot of injuries came with that. Experience had taught him something. "Ohh!!! We won! I guess I'm not a failure of a senior!" He returned after snatching bandages from the gym's first aid kit without permission as Fuyuki was cheerfully clapping about her team winning. "Oh, I should ask B-kun and Jay-chan for a reward!" Rocco had no idea who she was making a fuss about as he finished with the elastic compression wrap making sure it wasn't too tight to cause discomfort, to stop the swelling. Hurt ankles a common injury, he didn't ask.

"That's right. It's also time for your reward." He had finished with his work but remained crouching before her when their eyes met. "You are a good boy." she said, patting him on the head with a smile that made him feel small like a child. "I like it. This secret, I'll keep it." Huh? There is no secret. He denied that he was being kind but let her pat him. "Now, onto business. I would prefer talking this over lunch, but I do have to work at Inryoku. So, we can't talk properly." Hearing 'business', Rocco's face changed. He for once looked serious ready to hear what information she was going to give him. His soft eyes became sharpened and his mouth wasn't taking form of a playful smirk. He was ready and hopefully it was going to be good. There was also concern because she said the preference was lunch but she was busy. You're not saying I went through this trouble for nothing, are you? "Oh, I didn't forget. Lunch is still free! So, come okay?"

“Sure.” he replied curtly. There was no hint of playfulness or flirtatiousness in his tone. She moved to hold his shoulders before leaning over him to deliver his payment but even their close proximity didn't startle him. He stayed still, eager to hear it. He could let his mind wander to dirty places any other time. "Kim-san is seeking justice for something she had lost." Rocco took it in, letting the words sink in. He didn't want to forget it even if it was not entirely clear. He didn't even notice she had pulled away until she spoke once more. "She's my precious friend, so please look after her." He looked at Fuyuki's smile, then the bells in her hair that jingled. What is with those bells? Rocco had never seen a girl with hair accessories like that and the sound was hard to shake off. "I'll take care of her as much as I'm taking care of you.” he said, back to smirking as he stood up in front of her. His shadow falling over her form. "A friend of a friend, is a friend of mine. Nice doing business with you.” he concluded, shoving his hands in his pockets. Class was dismissed so he should go to the locker room and change. Fuyuki was not in the sport uniform so they should part ways so she can get on with her club. "Oh but I will show up to lunch. See ya.” he waved, turning for the direction of the men's changing room. He really wanted to see Ursula now about her justice mission but it was just his luck he'd finish and exit in time to see her with another guy (Ryou).

"I'll be waiting then!" Fuyuki waved him goodbye and when he was at a distance, her attention shifted to her now tended ankle. Her eyes held a revelation as if that simple gesture proved a conjecture she had for a long time. But, that would be just for her as she then stretched her arms, just a refresher for her limbs. "Okay, next stop should be Inryoku." She then stood from her seat while testing her injured ankle. It seemed that pain was greatly reduced. "And he is indeed a thief." She noted to herself in a warm tone, before taking her steps to leave the gym. Well, she really didn't need to change clothes anyway.

She was once again in the hallways asking the passing students for direction towards the cafe handled by Inryoku. It was at that hallways, she took noticed of a certain blonde-haired man (Aeon). His visage was like the very image of an angelic prince. "He is beautiful." She said under her breath, a clear admittance, but she didn't approach. She wasn't that dense to interrupt a conversation between him and another girl. She could confirm that it was delicate heart matters from the blush on the girl's cheek. She has manners after all. That's why she continued on her way towards the direction which she was pointed at. There were other times, she was certain of that.

Anyways, she finally arrived at Inryoku. It was really nice and had a good atmosphere going for it. She then introduced herself to the other members present inside. "Konnichiwa. I'm Hakuryu, Fuyuki. The new member of Inryoku. Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu." She then delivered that fluid half-bow which would remind one of those refined Japanese princesses. It happened rather quite fast as she was thanked about coming, like it was a miracle. She then remembered when Gen asked her earlier. Was it possible they lacked manpower at this shift? Well, it wasn't a problem, but soon, she found herself in a maid uniform, though it was a little loose at the chest area. This made her sigh, it was indeed one of her silent frustrations. But, as they say, life must go on.

Like that, she was pushed towards the floor and began her official duties as a hostess of Inryoku-in-waiting. It wasn't hard as the customers easily took to her. She smiled at them and cheerful tended to any of the reasonable requests. It actually came easy to her to entertain as that was usually left to her by her family and especially now that she had been the official successor of her Aunt. It's true that during those kind higher-end parties she wasn't technically in the position of a server. But, there was no denying it to her that this was more enjoyable. This kind of socialization was a whim and an entertainment of pure curiosity. That's why it was absolutely fun. She also get to learn new things.

For example, another customer called her attention. She happily tended to him (Tadashi). "Yes, sir!" She had a kind smile upon her face and her current attire does make her stand out. Most of the customers were ogling at her and there was the sound of bells followed her movements which made her existence a pleasant mystery. "My name is Fuyuki! How may I help you?" Somehow, she had an inkling that if her family, like her brother and her Aunt found out about her chosen club activity which made her a server. They would probably faint, but oh well, whether they find out or not, she would still do it. After all, this was rather fun and perfect for her to learn about people since her life is rather boring.

"My name is Fuyuki! How may I help you?" With a smile matching her own, Tadashi looked at the lovely hostess that had greeted him. He did notice the bells as she walked and moved, accenting every move she made with a light jingle that drew a person's attention. This woman was very lovely, he had to admit as his eyes began to turn more red the longer he gazed at the girl. Although caught up in her beauty, he wasn't one to falter or stumble over his words in the heat of the moment. "Fuyuki, I'm Tadashi Kiomine. But please, call me Kio if you must use my last name- I was wondering if I could place an order for some food?" Thinking about her name now.... It did seem familiar to a degree. Like, he was supposed to know that name. His mind split into two sections once again, simultaneously thinking about two different tasks at the same time. He was pondering what he should eat, remembering that this was a cafe-not the cafeteria as well as trying to recall where he knew that name from. The longer he gazed, she'd see a slight spark of remembrance in his eyes. It would be different than the usual admiration she was akin to seeing. "I was wondering, if you still had some of the lunch pastries available? I'd like something not too sweet, if that's possible." In reality what he would love to have is some yakisoba, but this was not the palce for it. He elected on eating a second lunch on the way home instead.

The entire time he mentally processed two different and opposite things, it would never seem as if he was distant or distracted. She'd receive 100% of his attention during this conversation, as the two would bask in each other's warm company. If she accepted, Tadashi would wait for his order to return having ultimately given her the option to serve him a treat he would desire. Whether it be a cute pastry with a cat face drawn on it, or a humble slice of coffee cake, or even an assortment of small pastries- he would graciously accept the offering bowing ever so slightly in his seat. "Arigato, Fuyuki-San. And, may I ask a question?" He'd pause to see if she did actually have time to humor him, the cafe could get rather busy he was sure. Especially when you were a popular host or hostess working there.

Fuyuki's eyes glittered with interest and that was because of the eyes of the male before her. It was unique just like Gen's and was also captivating because of its eccentricities. She couldn't help, but be jolly in her new discovery. "It is nice to meet you, Kio-san." She cheerfully answered. "Of course! What would you like to have?" She offered him a set of menu that she had been handling to other customers. Afterwards, she couldn't help but say it. "I hope you wouldn't be bothered, but I just must say. You have such pretty eyes." Her words were not clothed in any subtleties. It only delivered her sincere admiration of it. "Are you a foreigner by chance?" Whether, she received an answer, she returned to her hostess position after hearing his request.

"Ah, yes I believe so. I shall make sure to deliver a pastry to your liking. If I may ask, do you have any food allergies?" She had a momentarily pause as she looked at his table as her doe-brown eyes seemed to be filled by a mysterious haze. "Please wait a moment." She bowed her head with that elegance and posture that would imply she was a lady of etiquette but something about her presence seemed to say that there's more about her than just being a rich ojousama like most of the students attending Airdalen. Anyways, she excused herself and went to the kitchen to inform the order while waiting for it to be done, she catered to the others as well. One thing noted across the floor, the clients seemed satisfied and rather enjoying her presence overall.

While attending to others, her eyes do occasionally roam towards the entrance. She was waiting for that gentleman thief (Rocco) of hers whom she had offered lunch to. There was still time, but she was rather curious if something happened whether he confronted Devone or someone else. Either way, it's interesting. Her first day at her new school was certainly fun. Anyways, she won't recant her offer of free lunch whether it was now or later.

She then returned to the kitchen when she was informed that Kio's order was ready. "Excuse me, Kio-san. Here is your order, a Lemon Spongette."
She placed it down along with the cutlery before him with perfect delicacy."And this is complementary of the Inryoku." She placed also before him a plate of freshly cooked yakisoba along with its cutlery of chopsticks and spoon and fork. She then straightened her posture after placing the food on his table with a smile and her eyes looking at him that seemed to know yet and not at the same time. "Please enjoy your meal." She delivered that flawless bow and prepared herself to leave when Kio informed that he has a question for her. That was not bad at all. If one is curious, one should ask. That's how she had been doing things more or less.

"Of course, please feel free to ask me anything." She answered with that grace yet meshed with her cheerful disposition. Now, it wasn't difficult to see why she was able to easily capture anyone's attention. She was like a dream both fragile and radiance with the right amount of mystery. It wasn't also that hard to see that some of the clients were still looking at her way. Some even have their cheeks reddened. It wasn't hard because of her beauty moreover, her current outfit created quite an impression and that mystical sound of bells echoing her every movement. "I will try to answer it to the best of my ability!" She brightly smiled while nodding her head, a gesture of assurance.

"I hope you wouldn't be bothered, but I just must say. You have such pretty eyes." His cheeks would turn a shade redder at the open compliment, he was not very much use to such things. "Well, thank you. I greatly appreciate that. And to answer your question I am in fact not, I was born and raised here as were both of my parents. I was studying abroad last year however. That might explain a few things." With Fuyuki's assumption that he was foreign, it made his begin to wonder what about him seemed foreign. This was a trivial thought however, it just meant that he was unique enough to not appear like a normal Japanese person, to which he was perfectly fine with in all honesty. "Ah, yes I believe so. I shall make sure to deliver a pastry to your liking. If I may ask, do you have any food allergies?" "None that I'm aware of Fuyuki-san." Tadashi would nod graciously as she excused herself to leave and send in his order. He would sip his tea and continue to relax, wondering what Fuyuki had planned for him. His thoughts on the girl were quite endearing, there was something more to her he could tell. An energy, the way she carried herself and how she spoke; it hinted at a very proper upbringing but she had her own thing going along side it. The two diverging sides appeared to have flawlessly turned into one graceful form of a person.

"Excuse me, Kio-san. Here is your order, a Lemon Spongette." His eyes eyes slightly as they marveled at the treat placed before him, but there was also something else she placed down. Yakisoba~!? His jaw dropped as the plate of noodles rested on his table. <Is she (Fuyuki) a mind reader? How could she possibly have known?> Regaining his composure, Tadashi sat up and turned to Fuyuki now beaming towards this lovely girl. "Thank you so very much for the meal Fuyuki-san. This was unexpected, I should take lessons from you on how to be a host. Working with you at Inryoku will be wonderful I'm sure." Tadashi let spill that he was also a club member, sort of being casual with the fact that he was also a club member.

With his sense of wonder momentarily set aside, it appeared that Fuyuki did fortunately have time to talk with him. "Excellent. Forgive me, but you seem familiar.... Have we met before? Might I have your last name? There's just something, but I can't quite place my finger on it." He pondered for a moment, thinking while gauging her reaction at the same time. "My father- Ryokama Kiomine, is the Japanese ambassador to Canada. As well, he's held a few other offices. Maybe we met through those channels? I'm sorry, my father's status and position is hardly important but I'm trying to explore every possibility. Do you have any idea?" If they both thought about it for more than 1 minute, Tadashi would apologize and allow her to leave if she was needed. He didn't want to lovely hostess to keep her other guests waiting, that would make him quite rude. "Thank you again, I'll be seeing you Fuyuki-san." Giving the hostess (Fuyuki) his warmest smile, Tadashi's eyes shifted to an almost all red as he watched her. When she left, Tadashi would look at his yakisoba and eat. <Oh god.... This is so good~> It took all of his will power to not scarf the food down after his performance of manners and decorum, it was s hard though!

Fuyuki couldn't help but giggle at this spectacle in which Tadashi was trying to connect the dots as to why she seemed familiar to him. Her sound of merriment continued a bit as it was accompanied by the bells creating an attractive melody. "I'm sorry, this is just too funny." She covered her mouth and managed to settle herself soon enough. This time she looked at Tadashi with a familiar and knowing look. "I'm a little bit disappointed you didn't recognize me quickly. Punishment time!" She stepped a bit closer to him and then flicked his nose playfully. "Let me introduce myself properly this time, I'm Hakuryu, Fuyuki. I'm happy to see you again, Shi-kun!"

That's her pet name for Tadashi. The memories of being unwittingly dragged into stealing party foods, hiding in the bushes, and running from guards during parties by a younger Fuyuki should probably be flashing in his head about now. As for her, she had a much brighter smile than before. So, it wasn't too much of stretch as to why probably some of the clientele were glaring at him. "How is Ryokama-sama? I hope he's doing fine." She then heard another customer calling for assistance. It seemed that their reunion conversation should wait for a bit. Speaking of which,"Oh, that's right, it seemed we're both members of Inryoku right?"

She remembered him saying earlier. "Then, please take care of me." She followed this with her sophisticated half-bow, that before Tadashi, he has quite the view of her chest valley, since it was quite loose as cloth covering around was hanging. The other guys who noticed that certain wardrobe malfunction tried to change their line of sight to get a peek. Fortunately, she straightened her posture again, so the only one who could have a good view was Tadashi or less. "Let's catch up later okay, Shi-kun?" She winked at him and then attended to the other customers with her energetic gusto. It's a fact that she was just teasing Tadashi from the very beginning. It was by a whim that started because he seemed completely oblivious as to who she was at the beginning. But, she also noticed that spark of familiarity earlier, meaning he was trying to connect the dots inside his head, hence the question. This was exciting.

Speaking of excitement, a customer incredibly driven by lust and also of ignorance grabbed her wrist as she was leaving to attend another customer. The suddenness made her put a bit pressure on her sprained ankle. She flinched a bit, but hid it well still. Her gentleman thief was able to keep the pain at a very ignorable level of pain, so she was able to move across the floor without much care. But, it didn't mean she was already healed. "Hey wait, I want to talk to you a bit."

"Of course, Sir. Is there something else you need?" She faced him and pulled back her wrist from his hold. But, he didn't let go. "Be my girl. You look mighty fine." She still has her polite business smile. "No. Please let me go, sir. I still have other customers to attend to." The guy clicked his tongue in irritation then pulled her towards him as she fell on him as his arms snaked around his wrist. His friends whistled in delight. "Don't play so hard to get. You know you like it. Flashing your chest to that guy earlier." Ah, she almost forgot, about these kind of guys. Now, how should she deal with this without making it a national scene.

"H-Hai. W-Wait... we? Do you mean...? Like a..." Seeing Yuuki flustered, that's when he realized the gravity of what he had said. Well, he wasn't going to take it back and wasn't the kind of guy to get shy over spending time with girls even if it was extra time outside of school. What have I gotten myself into? he asked himself rhetorically finding no use in trying to understand anything. He said he would, so he would. “Like a...?” he acted oblivious just to tease and embarrass her more. "Says the one scrubbing walls..." He smirked at Yuuki's shot at him but accepted it with grace.“Hai, Hai, laugh it up while you can.” He moved back when she pushed his shoulders, watching her out of curiosity when she advanced for the cleaning cabinet. For a moment, he thought she was going to assign him more work. "...Well come on then, let's get this clean! Or do you want to leave that girl waiting...? Isn't that important to you, Murray-san?" She rolled up her sleeves and began scrubbing, Rocco watching her for a few seconds before continuing where he left off with his side of cleaning. He wondered if anybody would believe if they heard, the class president assisting the troublemaker with his punishment and scoring a date... "T-touch my shoulder like that again though... and I'll definitely kill you." He chuckled, scrubbing away at the graffiti in a different stall in the same manner he was earlier before her secret was revealed. “So scary, Prez.” he teased, fully aware she didn't mean it literally. He could still hear her flustered nature delivered in her tone so he was more accepting of anything she would say to him.

Time passed and it looked like he was being let out of the cage early. "...Consider your service done, but try to stop and take a breath and relax next time, okay? I hate missing the chance to eat lunch too." Rocco washed his hands at the sink, the running water cooling them. His hands were rough with minor cuts and scrapes, the solvent sometimes burned into them. “I can try.” he responded, not making any promises. Rocco had a record of getting into trouble even outside of school, so he didn't think it'd be easy to just agree to her terms. "Go find her before she thinks you've stood her up. I'll gather everything up on my own." Rocco dried off his hands and playfully saluted her with a smirk as he saw her starting to put the supplies away.“Roger that, Prez. I think you missed a spot on the cabinet.” He vacated the boys' restroom after leaving Yuuki with those parting words because it was a rule breaker surprise. Rocco had graffitied, 'Thanks Prez' on the front of the cabinet itself when she wasn't looking after finding an abandoned pencil. She had been the one to force cleaning duty on him but he was thankful for her help more than he had been angry.

The Inryoku cafe as a popular hang out place especially for guys like him he found a breeze to locate. It wasn't long until he set foot into the establishment for the first time as a customer. "Oh hello sir! Welcome to Inryoku~ You must be new! I never forget a face!" The hostess dressed as a maid to greet him was fairly attractive but he was pressed for time and starving. “You got it. I'm looking for someone actually... Her name is Hakuryu, Fuyuki. She should be expecting me.” His face looked tired and it wasn't far from the truth. He was tired, mostly hungry but tired too so he cut to the chase of what he was there for even though he'd usually play around. "The new girl? Sure!" the maid guided him to where Fuyuki was but they were both surprised at what they found. "Don't play so hard to get. You know you like it. Flashing your chest to that guy earlier."

Rocco paused in his steps a bit away from the table where Fuyuki was. She was sitting on the lap of the talking customer who had his arms wrapped around her while the guy's friends whistled. Rocco clicked his tongue in annoyance. He should be the one causing trouble not stopping it but there were certain females he was now obliged to protect within a short time frame of meeting them. He resumed his steps drawing near, “Hakuryu-san, there you are.” he greeted, his hands in his pockets as he ignored the men. The maid who had shown him the way must have been under the impresson he was going to play bystander as she stayed back to observe. “Is that free meal still on?” he asked but the guys were starting to get annoyed. "Buzz off. She's ours for today. Go find yourself another hostess." Rocco really wasn't in the mood for this, lowering his head slightly so his eyes were hidden under his bangs. He started to laugh ominously, the kind that sent chills down spines. “You were right. Maybe I am a thief.” he said to her, leaning forward with his hand reaching out to grasp the ones that snaked around her waist. The guy holding her was about to shove Rocco away but a murderous look appeared from under his bangs that took the guy off guard. Seizing the opportunity, he ripped Fuyuki off and brought her against him instead. His own arm held her waist now. “I'm taking her to go.” he smirked, describing her like a takeaway meal but his eyes never left the leader of the group. It was going to be hostile soon.

“Go ahead and get my lunch ready. I'm too starved to care what it is.” he told her, releasing his hold on her with perfect timing as the leader started a brawl in the middle of the cafe. "Why you little bitch." Rocco was smaller than him but he just laughed as the guy got up on the table and tried to jump him and throw punches. The group currently stayed back, cheering their leader on. Rocco kept his hands cockily in his pockets dodging every single one. The guy was strong for an opponent, tossing a table at him even that shattered into pieces but Rocco dodged it as well sliding out of the way. Luckily, it hit a wall where no customers were sitting. Dodging was his specialty, the one talent he could thank his violent, professional boxer dad for. It wasn't his usual style but there were reasons for it. "I just got dealt a punishment so I'd really rather not get another." he said as the guy continued, advancing on him to throw another punch that left a mark on another wall. "Let's talk it out like civilized men." he said, knowing it wouldn't affect anything but no one could say he didn't try. As the guy continued trying to beat him into a pulp, he laughed like he was enjoying the futile attempts. "Or not." At this rate, the cafe wouldn't stand in one piece unless the guy got worn out but he did tell Yuuki he'd try. He'd relax and take that breather she suggested but he'd be forced to get violent if this carried on for too long. It was fun and all but Rocco wanted to eat before lunch was over.

Tadashi was deep in thought trying to think, when eventually Fuyuki's giggling had caught his attention, mkaing him blush slightly. "I'm sorry, this is just too funny. I'm a little bit disappointed you didn't recognize me quickly. Punishment time!" "Ah-" A flick to the nose caused his eyes to shift to a full deep red from the surprise of it all. This was VERY familiar to him now. "Let me introduce myself properly this time, I'm Hakuryu, Fuyuki. I'm happy to see you again, Shi-kun!" The look on Tadashi's face was a priceless cross of complete surprise and embarrassment. Tadashi's eyes were now two completely different colors, with the left purple and right red. His mind reeled back to the sweet girl that he had met when he was younger, talking him into sneaking around, stealing treats and running from guards. His father was initially upset that he was demonstrating such behavior in front of the Imperial family, but her caretakers had notified him that it was most likely she was talking him into doing such things. Fuyuki was one of the few girls that didn't treat him any differently for his appearance, which left fond memories of her. How could he have forgotten?

Tadashi smiled warmly, having stood up out of practiced courteous habit and surprised. "Fuyu-kun! I'm sorry, it's been some time..... I'm surprised that you had recognized me, especially after all this time." It would be easy to see the energy and chemistry between the two, they were old friends that had many good memories between the two. He ignored the ire of onlookers as hey watched the two already friendly students, suddenly have excited emotion for one anther and an apparent history. "My father is well, staying busy. I trust your family is doing well too? Are they still as pushy as ever?" He had recalled from several years ago, that Fuyuki's family, being the Imperial dynasty wanted to preserve their image and every member of the family was expected to play a role, including Fuyu. He nodded when she commented about them both being in Inryoku; "Then, please take care of me." Tadashi could feel the laser beam eyes as well as leery thoughts given her phrasing, typical Fuyuki. You couldn't tell if she was ignorantly innocent, or alarmingly clever with her pseudo-words and actions. His worst fear was that it was both.

"Let's catch up later, okay Shi-kun?""Hai, of course! I want to here all the trouble you've been causing. He smiled after his quick quip and would sit down to enjoy his meal. This however, wouldn't last very long. If not only several bites into his meal, he heard some whistling and saw a male pulling Fuyuki in his lap. In an instant, his eyes shot red as he stood up to intervene. This behavior was unacceptable and he wouldn't allow the 'Imperial Daughter' to be treated in such a way. However, a junior student (Rocco) appeared to intervene before him. His eyes narrowed hearing his (Rocco's) wording regarding Fuyuki in a less than endearing manner, at least in his opinion. What surprised him was how quickly the situation escalated towards violence with the antagonizing boy swinging towards Fuyuki's 'hero' and him (Rocco) dodging every blow so easily. He moved to step forward and found himself hesitating given that a table was flipping, the assault continued but all failed to land a strike.

His eyes narrowed further and Tadashi stepped forward to speak up. His voice would project loudly over the bustle, almost making the students think that their 'beloved' P.E. Teacher Mr. Kito was in the room, but upset. "I THINK YOU'VE DONE ENOUGH HERE." He boomed out looking directly towards the boy who was doing all the fighting. "Tch, who the hell-""You have no right to speak here. I talk and you listen. You are in a school and privately funded cafe of Airdalen Academy, a place where people are supposed to RELAX." Tadashi's eyes were completely red and filled with an authority and conviction that would make a common person question if Tadashi was in fact their rightful superior. "As a member of the Inryoku club myself, I take pride in the work we do here. But people like YOU-" Tadashi aggressively pointed towards the boy who was flipping tables and punching. "People like you], are the type to ruin a good thing for everyone else. Inciting violence over a matter you are completely in the wrong for, both morally and socially." He encroached further but was keenly aware to stay out of arms reach. "You need to leave immediately! As a member of Inryoku, you and ALL of your friends are forever BANNED from this cafe. I will ensure that you are never served here again and that the school faculty is notified, as well as whoever has the misfortune of being your parents." Could Tadashi do this?...... He didn't really know, but it sure as well looked like he could. He was being deadly serious about banning the boy and his friends from here, but his acting skills were going into overdrive to sell this whole thing. He'd have to talk to Gen about placing a 'Do Not Serve' order for the boys.

"But if you insist in making a scene, I've no qualms with this boy here-" He gestured to Rocco with an open hand. "Who appears to have far superior fighting skills compared to you, beat the lesson into you. Then you and your friends will be banned, reprimanded and have the bruises to match. The choice is yours, cretin." His words would rattle like thunder, hit like a bullet and burn like acid. His tone and pacing with the words all lashed out with a deadly conviction and power behind them that wouldn't be denied. The aggressive and different sounding voice coupled with his his vibrantly red eyes, all completed the ensemble. The boy was being attacked on two fronts, violently with words as well as whatever Rocco would have planned next. Tadashi wouldn't dare say it, because the poetry would be in the surprise. But when the boy's family discovered just who exactly their son had harassed, he would pay dearly. If not from his family, than the rest of Airdalen will know just what a disrespectful creep this guy was. He could be ruined if this got out of hand. Tadashi had absolutely zero tolerance regarding harassment of this nature.

It was without question. Fuyuki was really uncomfortable in her current position and being touched by this buffoon. It made her think of cruel things and it's rather ironic since she should be a pure shrine maiden, the word is pure. "It would be wise to release me, sir." Her tone was still polite, her lips providing that cordial smile, but her eyes held a gaze of a sharp blade. "I am after all a dangerous person." As if to put emphasis on that, the bells jingled eerily, the same ones which she had told Jay before as a warning device.

Then as if on cue, her gentleman thief arrived. "Oh, hello there!" She perked up, the sharpness of her eyes reduced into obvious fondness. Some were rather surprised as well, because she seemed to forget instantly her situation. "Of course!" She confirmed that lunch is still free. It was only when the baboon of a man spoke that she recalled her situation. She released a sigh at this. "Just a moment, okay?" She then struggled to break free. "Unhand me, I have work to do now." It was at this point that her attention was taken by Rocco's ominous laughter. She wasn't bothered really and instead, her eyes held that knowing look.

"You were right. Maybe I am a thief."

She smiled softly at that statement. "Then, steal me away." It was then he felt herself being taken away from that uncomfortable place and into another's. This one, though, she has no resistance. She settled comfortably as she was told to prepare his lunch. "As you wish." There was not an ounce of concern on her, either she didn't care for Rocco who helped her or she had complete trust in him. She then calmly walked away towards where the kitchen is to place an order. Others found her demeanor rather odd and surreal. After a while, she exited the kitchens then returned to them. She had heard the wonderful flowing words of Shi-kun. She's a lucky girl to have them her out. So, the least she could do was not to have this escalate and clean up. "Shi-kun." Her voice was so light as she called out and placed a hand on his arm. "It should be fine now. Though, I would leave it to you to handle the consequences of their actions in relations to Inryoku." A gentle smile on her face as she gazed at Shi-kun.

Then, she looked at her gentleman thief. "You worked hard for your meal, didn't you?" Her other hand was placed on his arm. "It's still being prepared but, I assure you it would be worth it!" She cheerfully stated. "For now, here is a reward to you two." She removed her hands on the boys' arms and from her pocket, she procured two pieces of konpeito and then placed a piece on their lips with her candle-like finger. When they ate it, she smiled with a sweetness that the tensed situation was seemingly forgotten, just for a moment though.

The perverted buffoon had his phone ringing. "I believe you should answer that, Matsuda-san." She looked at the boy who looked at her suspiciously, but then answered it and soon grew deathly pale. "You will still answer to our club rules. For now, you and your friends sir, please leave the premises for causing a disturbance." She then held the hands of both boys. "Come now you, two. Lunch is about to end." She returned Shi-kun to his table while leading Rocco to an empty one while the maid that assisted him earlier placed down the meal Fuyuki ordered for him. It consisted of grilled kangaroo with vegetable sides, cheese and bacon rolls, crab sticks, a vanilla slice and then matcha tea. "Enjoy the meal, Rocky-kun!" A nickname just for him. "You as well, Shi-kun!" Followed, by the sound of bells.

"I THINK YOU'VE DONE ENOUGH HERE." Rocco turned around and fixed his posture after dodging another poor attempt of a punch. It didn't even go through his mind that someone might step in. Bystanders were more common. Rocco stood in place just observing, watching as he (Tadashi) tongue-lashed the hell out of the poor loser. "You need to leave immediately! As a member of Inryoku, you and ALL of your friends are forever BANNED from this cafe. I will ensure that you are never served here again and that the school faculty is notified, as well as whoever has the misfortune of being your parents." Rocco didn't know men worked at the cafe too. He had only seen women on his way in. It wasn't a bad idea actually as a means to pass time. Maybe he should think about becoming a host.. Then again, he didn't like cleaning up after others like that. It would just be fun to meet and flirt with girls. He took a good look at the angry guy (Tadashi) whose eyes burned red with a booming voice that demanded undivided attention. Will you look at that? he thought, the dude's (Tadashi) eyes really out of place from the norm.

"But if you insist in making a scene, I've no qualms with this boy here-" Rocco looked at him (Tadashi) further when the gesture was made his way, curious what the guy would say about him during such an outburst. "Who appears to have far superior fighting skills compared to you, beat the lesson into you. Then you and your friends will be banned, reprimanded and have the bruises to match. The choice is yours, cretin." Rocco smirked at the unexpected development. So I'm the backup threat. He didn't mind especially because he got paid a compliment. In a deeper voice he said, "I get permission, huh? Oh goody..." Rocco removed his hands from his pockets at last, flexing the fingers that had gone numb. "If you put it like that, it would be my pleasure to serve you." He swept into a mock bow in the spirit of the location as a host club. The final 'you' talking about the attacker and serve? Well that was up for interpretation. Raising his head, he poked his tongue out teasingly at the guilty party with eyes that encased an unspeakable danger. If he was really given permission, he didn't have to hold back.

"Shi-kun." Fuyuki returned and spoke with the angry guy who went by 'Shi-kun' first. Rocco paid it no mind as he kept his gaze focused on the troublemaker and his friends for any sign that he should do his side of the threat. He wouldn't think twice about fighting now because he had been handed the right after all. "You worked hard for your meal, didn't you?" Fuyuki speaking to him now, he looked back at her but the menacing atmosphere around his form did not waver. He was oozing bad vibes that a few customers avoided his view in fear, shrinking behind furniture and lower in their chairs. It was the opposite of how he is regularly perceived as a cute-faced boy proving just how bad underestimation can be.

The brunette girl held his arm nevertheless. "It's still being prepared but, I assure you it would be worth it!" Rocco nodded his head. "Okay. Thank you." He was an unpredictable beast but in some way kept his manners. "For now, here is a reward to you two." He looked back at the troublesome guys to check that everything was under control but he felt a soft touch against his lips. Unable to resist knowing what was going on, he looked down at Fuyuki as she pressed something resembling candy to him. It was giving him indecent thoughts. Rocco consented, why wouldn't he? He opened his mouth accepting the treat, the taste lost on him because of those thoughts he was having. That would be his little secret because he had landed his arse in trouble too many times in one day already and his exhaustion was making its reappearance.

A phone's ringtone went off and Fuyuki didn't delay in what was to happen next, leading him to believe she had orchestrated it."You will still answer to our club rules. For now, you and your friends sir, please leave the premises for causing a disturbance." Rocco did see the attacker's face drain of all its color but instead of wasting his time staring at that, he looked to Fuyuki wondering what sort of little devil she is behind that dignified innocence. Ursula is her precious friend eh? Rocco was beginning to like Japanese women more and more. They were very interesting.

"Come now you, two. Lunch is about to end." He let the cheerful girl lead very comfortable with any intimate interactions and his hand warm against hers. Lucky last to a table after 'Shi-kun', he admired the food laid before him and shifted gears back to the face of a harmless junior, reassured that everything was fine. "Enjoy the meal, Rocky-kun!" He preferred the nickname 'gentleman thief' but Fuyuki got back to work like there was no altercation and he would leave it alone. He had to settle his starving stomach. Looking over the food, it was more plentiful than he envisioned it would be. She's spoiling me. What really captured his attention was the meat he recognized after taking a bite. Kangaroo huh? Is it the accent that gave me away? He would eat his food peacefully, glancing out the window on random occasions and casually leaning an arm over the empty seat beside him as he pondered this new and busy school life of his.

Tadashi was physically upset, but the internal storm was tempered and being constructively projected on the troublemakers within the cafe. His eyes glanced towards Rocco seeing the falsely appearing innocent junior ready his fists fora fight. He did hear an accent when he (Rocco) spoke. It was different that the usual, not quite British. But he was focusing on the matter at hand. He'd glare lasers of death at all the boys that caused the incident from the beginning. A hand grabbed his attention, he turned to see Fuyuki smiling up at him. Suddenly, he felt subconscious about his upset demeanor having demonstrated in front of her despite it's eloquent message and performance. "Shi-kun. It should be fine now. Though, I would leave it to you to handle the consequences of their actions in relations to Inryoku." He sighed and nodded to Fuyuki, relenting. He wished that the girl (Fuyuki) was more upset, but he wasn't going to be the kind to fight a battle for someone. However he did plan on seeing this through. "Hai, Fuyu-kun."

When Fuyuki lead them away he glared back at the boys still standing there. "For now, here is a reward to you two." "Hm? Ah-" Of all the things he didn't expect, it was for Fuyuki to intimately feed him candy. In his mind, he had several flashbacks of her (Fuyuki) doing this to him when they were kids. It was innocent then, because they were children but now the perception of what she did could be seen as something very different. Tadashi's cheeks were, partially from the sweetness and partially from the intimate display between them three. He ate the candy, hearing a cellphone ring. He relished in the boys' reactions as a phone call seemed to ring, the timing and coincidence was uncanny. He couldn't realistically hope that it was for what the boy had done to Fuyuki. "I believe you should answer that, Matsuda-san. You will still answer to our club rules. For now, you and your friends sir, please leave the premises for causing a disturbance." Matsuda, he would do well to remember that name.

Tadashi went back to sit at his table, seeing his. When he first saw the boy harass Fuyuki, he had lost his appetite but now it surged back and he was even more hungry. Tadashi would slowly begin eating, glaring at this Matsuda character with deep red eyes intimidating him to leave faster. When they eventually left, he looked to Fuyuki who had begun to serve Rocco his rather lavish meal. "Fuyu-kun. I will, but you take care as well. I apologize, for making a scene." He'd bow his head towards his old friend (Fuyuki) and finished his meal. During such, he'd take subtle glances towards Rocco, having heard him referred to as Rocky-kun. Fuyuki was rather fond of giving people nicknames, even if they didn't like it.

He wouldn't speak to Rocco openly during his meal, slowly cooling his temper. His eyes would shift from their blazing red, to an even red/purple settling in the middle much like an equalizer. By the time he had finished his meal, Tadashi was calmed down and back to his regular self. If Rocco spoke to him, he would answer any questions. But his demeanor would be hesitant to completely open himself up, something about this Rocky-kun was unsettling. He had used the compliment of violence earlier as back up to his words, but from the eagerness of him (Rocco) willing to fight and the perceived willingness to be openly intimate with Fuyuki. Tadashi was beginning to get a rough idea, that this Rocky-kun wasn't much better than Matsuda. But he'd wait and see, he'd be watching and listening to Rocco closely while he sat. Their alliance was a matter of convenience, both not wanting to see Fuyuki in a stranger's arms. But the motivation for their actions were yet to be deciphered and compared. And Tadashi wasn't convinced yet.

"Hmm?" Fuyuki tilted her head to the side while blinking those big almond-shaped eyes of hers. She was rather confused as to why Tadashi apologizing. Then, she remembered, manners. "There's nothing to apologize for Shi-kun." She noted as she straightened herself and bowed her head, representing an effortless grace. "It is I who should be apologizing for not handling that properly. Because of my carelessness, I had Shi-kun and Rocky-kun, whom are guests involved in this matter." Her words flowed with a somber yet dignified tone. "Please accept my apology to both of you. Shi-kun. Rocky-kun." It was fortunate that their tables were near each other, so she wouldn't need to speak twice.

Seconds passed to show her sincerity, then she straightened herself up. That elegant and cheerful smile back on her face. "I'll also try to be careful, Shi-kun." She then looked at both boys. "But, I believe I would be fine since you my noble knight are here." Her eyes landing on Tadashi with that familiar warmth sparkling behind her eyes. "Then, there is also my gentleman thief." This time, she looked at Rocco with that fondness. "I had no doubts." She then took a step forward and patted both of them on the head gently. After a while, she pulled away with a warm smile and her eyes held a mysterious familiarity.

"Then, let me excuse myself. I'm still on the shift after all. If you need anything else, please don't hesitate to call for me." Offering another sophisticated bow, this time, her arms that were positioned in front of her were able to prevent a peek-a-boo to her chest valley due to the looseness of her clothes around it. Whether that was intentional or not, there was no gap from her movements. It was a smooth transition as she left to serve the others. It seemed it was a good idea to join this club indeed.

Just like so, she returned to serving. To the eyes of others, the new girl was certainly odd and yet charming. She never once lost her composure throughout the situation. It was safe to say that it was those who came to save her who did in her place. There was not even a sense of fear or trembling on her form. Her eyes were not cloudy and her smile did not have shadows behind it. She was definitely a strong-willed girl, but that also meant she was a person that would be involved in many troubles. Now, they only need to have courage to reach for her. If they indeed want to have someone like her in their lives, but as she would advise them to do it at their own risk. That's because she is dangerous.

Well, there's no denying that lunch was really eventful, isn't it? This was definitely different from her former school where the most exciting thing was the change in faculty adviser. That's why Fuyuki was on cloud 9 really. This was the most fun she had recently, plus she was able to observe a lot of interesting people along with reuniting with old acquaintances. But, it's not done yet. The day has yet to end and this is just midpoint. It seemed that her boredom won't be visiting her anytime soon. It's a good thing she did transfer, speaking of which she should thank her fiancé. If it wasn't for him, she would not have come. And so, that would be on her to-do list later this afternoon.

For now, she continued her serving duties with a bright disposition. A new customer came as she happily greeted, "Irasshaimase!". Followed by her trademarked sound of bells.

"Alright, lets go! Good food is always worth the trip to get it!" Akira laughed, though it was definitely a serious answer. Akira was very easily motivated by food. It just so happened she would have to discuss her food allergy with Gen. Being allergic to chocolate would definitely make it difficult, it always did at her part time job. Being in a cafe setting..it was hard, but not impossible to manage. Her allergy wasn't dangerous to her health as long as Akira avoided actually eating chocolate. As long as she kept it out of her diet, Akira would be alright working there. She found it strange how something she could cook as much as she wanted could so deadly for her to eat... Akira could still remember the first time her mother had given it to her. It tasted amazing, but soon after she was rushed to the ER because she had stopped breathing. It was a lucky break that a person in the store had an EpiPen, otherwise, the situation may have become far more grim.

"Wait, you're in Inryoku? I didn't take you for the type."

Tilting her head as they headed out, Akira couldn't really help thinking back to what Bishop had said before, "Type? I'm not sure if I am or not... I just like it. I work part time in a similar setting...it's no big deal after a while..." Akira responded with a shrug of her shoulders. Talking about her after school work was a little odd, but she didn't mind it. She didn't think Bishop would make fun of her or anything. She reflected on what Bishop had said earlier about the gift, frowning to herself a little. She really wasn't sure what to get if the jackets were commonly handed out. With a sigh, Akira messed her hair up in frustration, "I have no idea. It's hard to pick out gifts this early in the game. We barely know anyone.." Akira sighed. Looking up at the sky as they made it outside, Akira smiled a bit. Blue skies always made her mood a little brighter. Even if there was nothing she could do if the gift she chose wasn't good enough... Akira was going to do her best. That's all she could really do.

Once they were outside the club room, Akira grinned a bit to Bishop and pulled out her wallet, she paid both of their entrance fees, seeing as she invited Bishop in the first place, "The Club President, Fukui-senpai is really nice... She had the club members helped me find my phone. You'd like her." Akira teased Bishop a bit. She wasn't sure if Bishop had met Gen, but she enjoyed picking on him because it was becoming clear that he was one of the guys that were easier to embarrass. Getting a ruse out of someone was always fun. Waiting patiently, Akira saw that the club was pretty lively, "I'm not sure how packed it is... I wonder if we have to wait for a table? Gomen!" Akira apologised, clasping her palms together with a nervous laugh. What she didn't realize is that they had just missed a fight, but peeking inward she began to put the pieces together. From broken things to disorder, it was clear something had occurred before her and Bishop showed up. I wonder what happened...? Today isn't one of my service days though... I hope they have it under control now... Akira thought to herself. It wasn't very long ago that she had been hit in the face defending Sora, and she wasn't itching to get into a fight if she could avoid it. Rubbing the back of her neck, Akira began to regret inviting Bishop to Inryoku that day. What if something happened again? She didn't want him to get the wrong idea about the club. It had not been like that the day before... but it really did only take one bad egg to ruin the fun for everyone... She knew that very well.

"Is there a particular kind of snack, pastry, or cake you like? They have all sorts here." Akira asked, trying to make small talk until they were escorted to a table. Akira smiled to Bishop after sitting down, happy to be so close to getting a snack. She ordered some Mitarashi Dango, deciding to pick on her companion a bit more, "Look at all the girls!" she grinned and nudged Bishop, trying to blend in as well as she could as a boy. Akira certainly wasn't interested in any of them, but it didn't hurt to draw Bishop's attention to them.

Ordering a sweet tea, Akira blinked when she noticed a familiar face, Akira let Bishop order his drink in peace, then very quietly and subtly gestured to a face she could not pin a name to (Fuyuki), "Isn't she the girl who stole your tag earlier? Small world, huh?" Akira whispered to Bishop, slightly leaning over the table so no one would hear what she had said but him. Today was a good time to show up after all. Akira wasn't really sure how Bishop would respond to seeing a familiar face at the club, but Akira was thrilled, especially since it just so happened to be someone who had gotten the best of her friend in the recent game. Snickering a bit, Akira showed Bishop the menu, unsure of what kind of treats he liked, "Call her over~ She might be able to help you pick something out!" Akira teased, having a bit too much fun poking fun at him. Maybe it wasn't the nicest thing to do, but it was making her forget the horrors of facing yet another Christmas without her parents. Jokes and mischief were sort of a coping mechanism Akira utilised, even if she didn't really notice it. She was just doing her best to get past it, even if she could never forget. Not to mention it was reassuring that someone else had a similarly embarrassing situation in the gym. At least I wasn't the only one.
