Although she found it rather strange how suddenly Jayden confessed his attraction for Kasumi. He hadn't seem to pay too terribly much attention to her when she had first come but now he was all over her. And then as if it was a disease that had spread, Guy put his arm around Terra's shoulders and kissed her on the cheek. Terra at first seemed shocked but quickly played along, claiming the reason she'd slapped him was a bug on his face. Elisane tried not to laugh as she thought 'Good grief, Cupid must be working overtime.'
Then, as if to prove her right, Elisane felt Rin scoot closer to her and his hand slid into hers, making her drop her poptart back onto her plate in surprise. "How about Miss Elisane? Would you like to go on a little tour date with me?" He must have even seen the plate she was holding because a moment later he added, "Oh, you can't very well eat those if you're holding hands with me. I could feed them to you, since I have a free hand." Then, as if it had never happened, Rin leaned back again and laughed a little. "I'm kidding of course, unless you really want me to."
Elisane was stunned and flattered (but mostly flatter), only able to say, "Um..." But she had read enough romance novels to know how to react and how not to react. And, though it was little known about her, Eli was in fact a hopeless romantic who over the years had manged to secure on iron grip on her more bothersome emotions. Quickly she cleared her throat and smiled, "Oh, yeah, sure! It could be fun," she said, recovering from her previous shock and managing to keep the stuttering from entering her voice.

Suddenly she was, awkwardly, pulled near Jayden, and was in an embrace. Her eyes widen, and was about to jolt away, but when jayden spoke, she froze. "Listen you, you took my sweets yesterday. You. Owe. Me. If you go along with this for the day then we're more than even understand?" Kasumi began to stare at him, her face seemed emotionless, but her eyes clearly screamed "Are you okay..?".
But knowing what Jayden said was true, she decided to let this slide. "Yeah..." Kasumi added on, her voice hushed, as always, but cute as well. Not sure on what to do, she looked around and noticed the "lovey dovey" feeling around Rin and Terra. She merely blinks and looked up at jayden in confusion. Why was he doing this to himself... She clearly remembered how he treated her yesterday...and now he suddenly is all...- like this! 'So confusing...' She scowled slightly, irritated. Usually Kasumi can read the minds of most guys, sex, money, etc. But Jayden was a closed book.... That didnt please her. At all.
'Why are you doing this...what are you planning...' She asked in a discreet mannor yet her face was all happy-like. She leaned forward, scanning his expression for any hints of clues for his motive. 'I can use this...' She thought naturally. Everything she was dragged into, usually had something she can gain...that's how life was. Or so she believed it was. Men used her for her fathers money... so what about this Jayden..
She was thinking of ways to get rid of Guy after she got her sword. She didn't want to kill him just maybe knock him unconsciousness or something. She was hoping that there would be a vase or a metal pipe where her sword was but she dough ted she would get that lucky. Or maybe she could just run away it's not like he would stop her. He seemed pretty gullible. But all she knew is that she would never have helped a vampire and this Guy is just trying to trick her. And the first vampire she was going to kill was that Jayden.

Considering how close together they were standing, Jayden felt a little uncomfortable, but it allowed them to have their own little conversation behind the scenes, they could do it discretely so as nobody would notice and if someone somehow did notice it would be ruse to mention it, after all from what he knew (which wasn't alot) couples often had private conversations and asking about them was considered a breach in privacy.
"Why are you doing this...what are you planning..." Jayden smiled at Kasumis question through his currently frustrated expression. It wasn't a mocking smile, nor a sadistic one. It was genuine, as if her question actually amused him.
"Lets just say it's all a misunderstanding and I needed to tell a lie to get through it... you were just kind of in the wrong place at the wrong time..." He said in a hushed tone, keeping his voice out of the others ears. The he turned his face to look at her and he felt himself freeze for a minute. Before his expression softened, his brows furrow lightening and almost dissapearing. "But you do this for me and I'll get you something sweet alright?" He spoke once again low enough so only she could hear, his voice was filled with annoyance, however he didn't actally seem all to annoyed. Then, realising his face had softened, he coughed lightly and put on his shy act again. "So... haha, how about we get this tour started eh? After all if we don't go now, we won't have any time before class starts..." He said with false bashfulness.
"So... haha, how about we get this tour started eh? After all if we don't go now, we won't have any time before class starts..."
"Yes we should probably catch up with Terra and her date too. It's nice they give you a lot of time in the morning before class starts though." He said cheerfully, then gently pulled on Elisane's hand and also lead her out of the cafeteria. "You're sure in a bit of a rush, Pinky." He said with a smile, referring to Terra. "Jayden would you lead the way?" He said, then turning to glance over at the other vampire.
She looked back at Jayden then at the ground. "Well maybe I should of thought that threw now I'm all alone." She didn't really care but it seemed like something a normal person would say. "Oh well all I need is myself every one else would just slow me down!" She didn't want to bring down everyone's moods even though she wanted to kill them... (Wow that sounds weird) She just wanted to get this tour over with and get her new weapon. She remembered to txt the slayer and they said that they would deliver it as soon as possible. Thank god for those replacement weapons or Terra could have been in a lot of trouble.
Her cheeks puffed out a bit, and she peered away stubbornly. "Fine..."
Luckily enough for her...she had amazing acting skills, so this should be a pinch. So... haha, how about we get this tour started eh? After all if we don't go now, we won't have any time before class starts..." A soft "smile" sketched over her lips, and she nods slowly. "Mhm..I agree~" She affectionately leaned against Jayden, before backing off to give him some room. But as she did, she walked back cutsy-like, her arms waving around a bit, signalling Jayden, her new "love", to hurry. Though her eyes, which was out of the others view, sent a message. "You-better-keep-your-promise..or-ill-make-this-super-awkward..." Usually Kasumi was never like this, stubborn, hot-headed and threatening, she was usually calm and a gentle girl... But this was the first time, she was being used. by a man. 'I always was the one to use men...' She told herself, but she remembered to remain calm. "Jayden would you lead the way?"
Kasumi looks at the speaker and nods in agreement. "Lead the way Jayden?" She asked in her hushed voice, adding a bit of "love". But as soon as she finished, she heard a set of stomping from the entrance. She turned and noticed Terra, the pink haired girl. "I'm sorry me and Guy just ya know separated hopefully he won't bug me again." Kasumi stared at her, wondering if she should be sympathetic or happy for her. Though she noticed how Terra glanced at Jayden for awhile, before looking away. "....hm..." She hums, suddenly interested. 'Does this girl like Jayden...?' She wonders, again, unsure on how to feel or react.

((God damn! I can't get rid of these short posts!))
"I'm sorry me and Guy just ya know separated hopefully he won't bug me again." Terra said as he rejoined the group. Jayden stared at her like she was a crazy person.
He wouldn't exactly call what they were doing "being together"... and if they were trying to leave the impression that this had been going on for a while Jayden wasn't convinved. Or at least he wouldn't have been... if last night had never happened. *I should have just ignored that whole situation... now look where its gotten me...* He thought. *Honestly I don't have a clue what the hell is going on anymore... I guess I'll just have to do my best to get through this freaking tour...* So he looked around quickly, looking for the nearest place to where they were apart from the cafeteria and dorms... which would have been the gym. He was about to tell the group when he looked around slightly and realised Terra had been staring at him. *Damn keeping this a secret from her is getting really annoying...* He thought before speaking. "Alright then... Terra I'm very sorry for you and Guys falling out, but right now the tour must continue... after all classes will be starting in a little while now....." He said, doing his best to be polite, oh how it repulsed him... Guy showed up once again soon after and mentioned something abou them missing him... Jayden pretended he didn't hear that. "So from here our first stop would be the gym! So lets head there eh? C'mon then." Jayden said. Without thinking he reached for Kasumis hand, hesitated slightly, reasoned that holding hands was a thing couples did, grabbed her gently as to not get ahead of himself and idly pulled her along with him until he was standing outside the gym doors. He turned to the others, who he had assumed had followed him and spoke. "Well this is the gym, I know some of you have been here before, but please, take the time to look around..." Once again he spoke with the upmost respect and dignity, once again he felt like gagging. He stood idly for a good few moments before realising he was still holding Kasumis hand, he blushed slightly and released, before mumbling a short apology. "Eh... sorry about that..." He mumbled slightly, as was mentioned earlier. Jayden had never been good with girls, so even pretending to be Kasumis boyfriend was an awkward and embarassing experience for him.
The book was called "Dragonsong" and was the first in the trilogy called the Harper Halls Series. Menolly is a gifted musician who is punished for using her musical talents after Petiron, the Harper who encouraged her talent, dies. Finding life at the fishing community unbearable because her father forbids her to express her musical talents, she runs away from home and takes refuge from falling Thread in a cave—and discovers hatching fire-lizards. Alone and forced to care for nine baby fire lizards that she Impressed, Menolly quickly learns to be resourceful and independent. Freed from the restrictive role forced upon her by her family, she indulges her passion for music. Menolly is out foraging one day when she is caught in Threadfall. She is rescued by a dragon and his rider who take her to Benden Weyr. There she is discovered by Masterharper Robinton who has been searching frantically for Petiron's mystery apprentice and offers her a place at the Harper Hall as his apprentice.
Another happily ever after in a world that doesn't exist, was Elisane's first thought after finishing a great book like this. It was her greatest desire to be involved in something abnormal, something special, something great... Not that it was going to happen, but it was a nice thought and one she liked to seek out. "Adventure is everywhere" as her kid brother used to put it. This statment was usually followed by an injury placed on either of them but it was all in the name of adventure so it was considered a battle wound which they could gloat about. The more blood the more glory was the standerds and by golly they both lived by 'em. A little smile graced the mouth for the girl with the glasses at the fond memory of these childhood games, however stupid and dangerous they might have been.
"How was your first night in your dorm room?" He asked Elisane, but continued looking forward. "It's pretty great that the principle of this university accepts requests for room decorations." He looked down at Elisane with a cheery smile. "I got goldfish! It was a complete joke when I asked for all that stuff in my room.." He trailed off a moment, looking forward again, "But it's actually pretty cool. This school must have quite a lot of money." He said, then glanced back at her again. "Elisane, you really seem to like reading a lot. Why is that?" He asked curiously with an innocent little smile. He really was a little curious why this girl would indulge herself into something so, well, boring.
Then Rin asked something rather odd and it made Eli chew her lipa little bit in thought. "Elisane, you really seem to like reading a lot. Why is that?" Now of course, Eli knew exactly why she read, but didn't quite know how to phrase it without going into a long speech, which she had a tendency to do. "Well..." she began slowly, making a conscience effort to not become long winded, "I guess it's because... because life is so dreary. Nothing interesting happens, nothing odd occures and it's just so very boring. I can hardly stand it! I crave... adventure and, please don't laugh, but I want my life to be strange! Thrilling and dangerous and exciting and... well, that's not what lfie is."
Elisa sighed and glanced at the cover of her book. "When I read I get to take part in a world that's not dull. Dragons and magic and vampires and flying pigs-" Elisane took a moment to laugh quietly to herself, "I get swept away into an adventure. And until I turn the last page, I don't have to suffer the normalness of reality. I can be a part in something... special." Elisane pause a moment, looking at her feet, then quickly turned her head to Rin. "Don't laugh at me, okay?"

((^^ Kinda Short..))
Now don't be mistaken, Elisane had created her own world before. In fact, she had many. Some were underwater, some were in space, some were in the earth. A couple were in diferent times and more were set in a place she like to refer to as Fantsie, and entirely other planet where it was created entirely out of the dweller's imaginations. She liked to write her own books and tell her own stories (none of which were ever published of course) because an entire different world was so much easier to find and enjoy when it was purely one's imagination. But Rin seemed to mean something entirely different.
He meant that she should search for the uniqueness and adventure in reality, not literature. And maybe Rin had a point. Elisane did have a habit of speanding so much time in a book she began anti-social, like a hermit, hiding away in her room at home instead of going to one of her friend's houses or the pool of on a shopping trip with her Mother. But could one really make Fantsie into reality? Was there really anything special about normality?
Elisa didn't know, but it would be an adventure off the page if she were to find out. And it would begin right here. "Maybe you're right Rin. I guess I should try to see the spirit of adventure in reality. And to do that, I have to look into the simplest things." Elisane said with a determind and curt nod, then suddenly she looked at Rin. "Did I tell you about last night? I had the weirdest kind of dream. Well, actually I don't remember much of it but when I woke up my window was closed. And before you laugh at me, I know I had it open before I went to sleep."
Sounding like a detective, Eli went on quickly. "My door was locked so someone couldn't have come in to my room and close it and the window was too high for someone outside to close it and I would have woken up it it had fallen shut because it would have made a loud banging noise." Elisane laughed a little, taking a breath from her long winded explaination, "Weird huh? And I slept on my neck wrong to, so it's been sore since I woke up." Eli laughed again, already having fun in her search for adventure. "So now I'm looking for a clue to solve my window mystery as well at a better pillow."
Rin listened to Elisane's answer with his little smile, nodding every once in a while to show that he was paying attention, even though he already knew exactly who was the one that shut her window. Her enthusiasm about it kind of amused him a little though. She seemed pretty fixed on figuring it out, though he knew pretty well she never would. What he was trying to focus on was finding a way to keep feeding off of her if she started closing her window from now on. It wouldn't be too hard to pick the lock on her door though, since he'd done it plenty of times in the past.
"So now I'm looking for a clue to solve my window mystery as well at a better pillow."
"Hmm.." He said, pretending to think about it. "Maybe your room is haunted?" He said enthusiastically a he glanced down at her. "I bet the spirit living there didn't like the breeze so it closed the window?" He joked and let out a small laugh. "I'm not much of a detective..but as for your pillow problem, I've got lots of them in my room. You can come by later choose one. Heck you can take two or three if you want! I've got too many to count!"
"I'm not much of a detective... but as for your pillow problem, I've got lots of them in my room. You can come by later choose one. Heck you can take two or three if you want! I've got too many to count!" Rin laughed and Elisa smiled in return. "Yeah, sure, that sounds great! Maybe I can stop by after classes and take one... or two... or five..." Eli laughed at the last part good naturally and added, "Kidding; I'm just kidding." As if struck, Elisane looked at her watch and gasped. "Oh my goodness gracious- classes start in 3 minutes!"
"So from here our first stop would be the gym! So lets head there eh? C'mon then"
Kasumi just let his words run through her mind and out the other ear. She been in this gym many times, make it being being with a boy, or just relaxing in her own time. Though if she knew any better, she probably traveled the whole school already. Or the accessible part of it.
Suddenly, something wrapped around her hand, and started to pull, causing her to yelp at the sudden touch. Her attention snapped downwards, and she stared at his hand which was wrapped around her own... "Eh... sorry about that..." She continued to stare at their hands, ignoring the apology, but without any thought, or control, her own fingers enterwined with his own. She hled onto his hand tightly, like she didnt want to let go...or for him to leave. Her eyes softened and her lips formed a calm line. 'I guess its okay for now...' Besides, she liked the feeling of this warmth, it seemed to not only travel to her hand but to her chest as well. 'Peculiar...' Looking up at Jayden, the corner of her lips turned up into a slightly noticeable smile. A genuine one.
