In no time, they were standing in from of some windows, looking at the cherry blossoms outside. It has been a while since Kyoichi actually stopped to appreciate the things around him. He has always been on the move. Home, school, clubs, home, friend's place and so on. But now, with Rini's hand held in his, he actually wants to moment to last. He wants to slow down and enjoy everything life has to offer him. With Rini, if possible....

He doesn't know why. Nor does he have to...

"Will you hurt me" Rini had asked.

To that, Kyoichi replied "Never..." Without too much thought behind it...

John ran down and just caught up with the medics as he saw Nayu talking to them. She looked unharmed and walked off when he approached. This relieved him slightly that she was ok but that only solved half of the problem, for the medics didn't seem convinced of what she told them. He asked them why they were here and they exchanged the information on why they were here and what Nayu said. He took a peak of Jiro before reassuring that he has epilepsy since he has to be informed about all medical issues the students have.

They took a few test on Jiro just to make sure he didn't have any major injuries before leaving. John left to eat his lunch, caring very little about what happened since they were both mostly ok, while they finished the few test. "Well this year is going to be a interesting one to say the least..." He thought to himself along the way. After finishing his meal he walked back to the classroom and took a seat in his chair. Once again pulling his 3DS out he began playing it ignoring the world as if nothing happened.


Nayu got up very suddenly and shoved a $50 dollar bill in his hand and left the room. He wanted to say he didn't want it since he had plenty more at home but she left before he could. He started to get up when he heard someone rushing down the hall. He looked out of the nurses office to see 2 medics and the teacher talking. "Crap she called 911. I thought she would at least read...Dame it." He began to think to himself but said the last part out loud realizing that his bracelet with all the info on it must of flung off during his seizure.

He spotted it in the hallway and went to retrieve it but was stopped by the medics who insisted on them doing a quick checkup. He eventually, after arguing that he was fine, reluctantly got back on the bed and let them do there thing. He really would of liked to take a nap if he wasn't so hungry. After the check up he collected his wristbands and started to walk down till he saw his reflection on one of the school window's. Although he ignored the school dress code and was wearing red, there was a decent amount of blood all over him which was quite noticeable.

He rushed into the nearest bathroom and pulled of his shirt, scrubbing the blood from his shirt and his face. He was able to get most of it off of his skin but practically none of the blood came out of the shirt and was soaked now. He wasn't going to walk around the school half naked or soaked so he got creative and used the heat dryer, normally used for hands, and got most of the water out making it very wrinkly and moist. Disappointed of the finish product, he reluctantly put it back on and slowly walked back to class pondering whether to skip the rest of the day and go home to make some lunch. As he approached he thought of at least passing by to return the 50 dollars back to Nayu feeling guilty about "accepting it."

He pulled out the money and gripped it tightly preparing to be harshly judged since he probably looked like he just bloodied up a kid. He opened the door somewhat quietly and walked over to Nayu placing the money on her desk and walked off before she could protest. Thankfully most people were to busy talking to notice and only got a few glances. He had decided he was going to skip but only if he could convince someone else to go with him. He decided to asks Simon first since he was the only other person he had talked to today. He walked over once again the girls cleared a path for him this time especially big thanks to his new makeover. "So I was thinking that maybe you and I could skip the rest of the day and go to my house to get to know each other better. I wasn't able to eat my lunch so I could probably cook something up for us. Maybe some grilled cheese with American, Swiss, white cheddar and a few other cheeses, buttered up on both sides. Or maybe so slowly smoked pulled pork cooked over a 48 hour period, with some homemade bbq sauce served with this side of pineapple casserole...." He began to explain to him vividly, hoping to win him over with food. His stomach growled halfway though and he winced at the pain of it.

Nayu:
She sighed, thinking about what she had done. Once she reached the classroom and reached her desk, she put her head down so that no one could see her face. "Well, you lost a friend, good job you fucking screw up." She could hear her own voice in the back of her head, talking to her as if it was another person. She winced and covered her ear with her hands for about 15 seconds. "Well, if you ever feel lonely at least you could always just fuck an older guy, you know, like your old man almost did. Those types like you. Or do you want to take it all out on a guy? Thomas sure was nice before he ended up in a hospital." She could feel tears falling down her face as they dropped onto her lap. She would have cared more about someone noticing but she knew that no one would care either way. "Awww Nayu... I didn't mean to make you cry... You know that don't you?" Even if this voice was in her head, she knew she couldn't stop it. They were her, another side of her, locked inside and trying to break her on the outside. Tears were falling rapidly and her short hair was barely enough to cover her shivers. "Why don't you go ahead and fucking bawl you little bitch, no one would care either way. But you already know that I guess." She put her hand over her mouth and coughed a little bit, looking at her hand which now had blood all over it. Sighing, she wiped the blood off on her skirt as her lip quivers. She put in her earbuds and began to hum a little song that she listened to a lot. "...Shut the fuck up!! SHUT THE FUCK UP!!! LISTEN TO ME YOU BITCH!" She began to scratch her scars that covered her arm, opening up a scar that had finally begun to heal. She pulled her cardigan down at the sight of her bloody arm. "How ugly. Scars like that match someone that looks, thinks, and is a literal piece of shit." These words hit her hard as well but mostly because they were things that had naturally come to her mind and was not something that the voice told her. The tears kept on falling and she was already shaking non-stop when she felt something touch her desk. She looked up and saw Jiro, returning the money, she watched him walk away for a while with a pained expression. "The only thing good about you is your money, without that, you're nothing but he probably doesn't want to use something that was touched by something like...You." The voice in her head sounded disgusted when she said the last work and she flinched at the thought of this and grabbed the 50$. She began to rip it to tiny pieces, leaving trash all over the floor. She abruptly stood up, the chair making a faint screeching noise. She put her head down and quickly walked out of the room and up the stairs, onto the rooftops. She wlked with her head down and went over to the side, slowly sitting down in a corner and exhaling. She recited some of the words that her stepfather used to tell her at night when she was chained up." Somedays you will ask yourself, why am I even alive? I will always tell you this and you need to remember it: There is no reason, you deserve everything that comes your way to punish you for being here." Her tears were falling quickly and there was no stop to them. Her face emotion didn't change. She had a blank face, staring at her arm while she cried, hoping that school would end quickly. The rooftop reminded her of times when she was threatened to jump off the top of her house but always grabbed and pulled back before she could. She would begin to cry and he would whisper in her ear "Shhhhh, sweetie, you know that you can't escape a nightmare without completing it first, right?" She cried harder at the thought of this.

"What a fucking excuse of a human being."

@joeycbee

@Eodwyn Aether "Heck yeah I'm going to join you," she said aloud for Liam to hear as she stomped over to him. Instead of sitting down she stood there, and slammed his paperwork on the table. "You need a tutor, and lucky for you my Peanut-sized brain decided that I'll help you because I can't simply be in a class where an utter dumbass exists." She cleared her throat. "It's bad for my reputation."

After that small speech she had sat down in the seat across from him. "Give me some of your food." Manami then demanded from the boy right in front of her. She rarely ate/took lunch due to the fact that she needed to keep her calorie intake at a low to keep her outer appearance at its best; In case her father gave her an unexpected business meeting which happened more often than usual. Sadly, this guys meal looked to be pretty bad when compared to her diet, but one day of breaking the routine wouldn't hurt.

@l0ck0n

Liam let out a genuine laugh as she said she would teach him. No bloody way this girl is serious, I mean cmon she fucki- Liam thought before he realized she had moved and sat down in front of him, demanding that she have his food.

It was at this stage of this little Fiasco when Liam truly panicked internally. OH SHIT SHE IS SERIOUS!!! What the hell am I going to do What the hell am I going to do What the hell am I going to do?! I admit that I suck eggs at math but to be honest I rather roast in the 7th level of hell than be taught by the person that gives the devil nightmares. He thought as he stared at her calmly. But for some reason, I feel.....happy? why do I feel happy? He mumbled quietly to himself before he remembered she demanded his food. Almost immediately he kicked back into “take no shit” mode.

I am sorry, but unless you ask properly I will not give you a sandwich. Here I will even show you how to do so. So lets say, in a world where the allies lost WWII and the whole world was nuked, I was you He said giving a slight cringe at the thought. Anyways here is how I would ask for a sandwich:

Hi Manami, may I have some of your food please.
Sure Liam go ahead and take some.

And immediately after that we would then hook up and fall in love and get married and have devil children because at some point in time you revealed that you are in fact a citizen of hell disguised as a human and I would totally except that and still love you, but that’s not the point of this. The point of this is to show how a human acts. Now try to repeat what I said okay? He said as if talking to a two year old before laughing. Anyways I doubt that you came up here to teach me…so what was the REAL reason you came to meet yours truly? He said taking another bite of his sandwich and continuing to write in his book.

@WaddleDaisy
"Isn't that better?" He said to Rini when she took her scarf off. Honestly, he had the urge to just kiss her right then and there. But, he did not act upon it as it would be indecent and he does not know how Rini would react, if there would be a reaction at all...

After a moment of silence, Kyoichi picked up Rini's hand again and held it in his hands. He leaned towards her slightly and whispered to her...

"What would you do if I were to kiss you right now? How would you react?"

Jiro was just as surprised as Simon not knowing why she was in such a mood. He thought about going after her. He glanced back at her table and noticed green pieces of paper that he could only assume was the 50 dollars. He genuine felt guilty not going after her but his muscles ached and circles had begun to form under his eyes. He was hunger, tired, filthy and feel wet from the moist shirt.

He stomach growled again as he looked back to Simon to reply. "Listen we both had a rough time back at the nurses office but I have no idea why she ran off like that. She's not physically hurt and I don't see how anything I said would of offended or even hurt her in any way. I think she's fine but if you want to take a slight detour that's fine with me." He said rethinking about not visiting her the more he thought about it. "Was she upset I didn't want or need the money? Ugh women are such a pain."

@WaddleDaisy

Nayu:
Uwaaa what am I even doing? She lifts her head, plasters a smile on her face and begins to laugh a little "Ok, so that is scary". Being sad won't fix anything, she shakes her head quickly. First day of school means that you are supposed to look forward to... fun? Her mind hit reset and she began to think about what she had done. 50$... I wasted 50$ all because of my step-father memories... She wasn't raised a rich brat and knew that money was just about the most important thing in the world and should be taken care of. She decided that when she went back, she would tape it back together and maybe use it as an art piece or use it if possible. She went to the nearest restroom and quickly splashed her face with water. As she wiped her face with her handkerchief, she tried to smile into the mirror brightly. "How disgusting, huh?" She walked out and began to walk back to the class. She then looked out of a tall glass window and saw something beautiful, gardenia flowers.

They were her favorite type of flowers and she quickly went over to view them up close. It had been 5 maybe 8 years since she last saw one of these and she was very happy to have come across them. Her mother used to show them to her whenever she walked to a nearby park. "You are lovely" She whispered aloud by accident and smiled lightly, that was the meaning of the flower. Her mom used to be an innocent and pure woman in her eyes before. The flowers would always remind her of the long white hair her mother had, a snowy day is what it would resemble. She smiled at the flower and put it to her nose and smelled it for a while. The wind blew her short hair away from her face and allowed her to breathe. she noticed the flower planter near the flowers and went to pick it up. She began to water the flowers and remembering her favorite age, 5 years old. The age when you're too clueless to know about the bad things going on around you.

Nayu:
As she was watering the flowers she saw Simon and looked up for a moment as he began to head straight for her. "You came to check on me? I'm sorry and yes I'm fine. Sorry... Just some memories that came back hehe... I am hopeless at times when I remember past events." She smiles at him "Thank you for worrying about me." She held out her hand when he asked her to and wondered about what he was taking out and noticed that it was the ripped up money. Her face turned red, realizing that people had seen what a shameful act she had just done and begins to cover her mouth with her cardigan a little bit. "I-I am so sorry that you had to pick this up for me... I was going to when I got back so this helps. Th-thank you." She smiles at him sweetly. She began to rethink her thoughts of Simon. Thinking of him as a hopeless playboy was wrong of her and she had finally realized that.
She smiled before realizing that Jiro was there. The memories of what had happened began to fill her mind. She frowned and bowed her head a little bit "I'm sorry that I gave you money all of a sudden. I wouldn't have been able to accept it either...It's just...Your food... It was really good, I mean, it was honestly 5-star restaurant good... I think... I don't go out much and I can't cook but I am sure it was... a-and I ended up dropping it because of my own issues...Ma-maybe I could just pay for your food next time you go out to eat?" Wait...That would imply eating together and that would mean that he would have to deal with me. "N-no well I mean I don't mean you have to go with me.. Just send me the bill? Eh, I feel like I'm getting it wrong.. P-present? I'll give you a present? A-ah umm..." She realized that she had begun to ramble and looked down at the floor for a second "I-I am just really sorry about your food... you have amazing cooking skills, extremely different from the food I eat hehe It's mostly just gas station food or just rice." She chuckled a little bit and looked at him again "Sorry." The wind began to blow around them and she glanced at the flowers which blew elegantly as the wind hit them. Forgetting her situation a bit she opened her mouth to speak.
"The flowers are beautiful aren't they?" Her smile at this time was most definitely real.

@WaddleDaisy @joeycbee

Jiro waited on Simon as he picked up the shredded money. He kept smiling at him which he thought was genuinely creepy. If only everyone could be as happy as this guy... He thought to himself going into a train of thought. He looked back up realizing that Simon was now waiting on him and walked over to him at a fast pace. He followed Simon around the school both of them getting looks. Simon seemed a bit served about it but Jiro paid no attention. Simon asked him once again if he though she was alright and replied "As far as I know she is, but I couldn't tell you for sure. If you read ally want to know ask her your self," as He pointed to Nayu by a window.

Jiro walked up behind Simon as he poured the ripped money into Nayu's hand. He commented "You know if you go to the bank, you can get a new $50 if you have %50 or more of the original bill." After she realized he was there she start rambling excuses which he found cute. He caught every word if what she said, thought it was difficult to process what she said, and was about to reply when she commented on the flowers. Of course him being a insensitive guy he said "Yea, pretty flowers." cutting it short and not necessarily sweet.

He smiled and said only half jokingly, "I would love to go out and eat with you...Growl... He was going to continue speaking when a giant growl, with the pain, came out of his stomach. "Speaking of food, me and Simon were skipping the rest of school to go to my house to eat. You can join us if you want."

@sakurasan@WaddleDaisy

@WaddleDaisy

An interesting response. It would seem she is opening up to him, if ever so slightly. At first, she was not very talkative, barely responding at all. Now, her responses are getting more detailed, and faster as well. Kyoichi took that as a small victory in itself. After hearing her response, Kyoichi remained silent, just holding on to Rini's hand and staring at the cherry blossom outside.

The petals were falling, drifting in the wind. As fate would have it, the two of them met from seemingly opposite sides of the spectrum.

Kyoichi, being a little taller than Rini, leaned towards her once again and whispered "Why don't we find out...Just react however your heart tells you..."
At the end of his words, Kyoichi moved to kiss Rini, placing his lips on top of hers, feeling the warmth from Rini.

Nayu:
"Hehe, yea they are." She smiled at him before he responded about the food. "Eh? I could join? I-I would Love that! Thank you." She smiled widely at the thought of this. Maybe she hadn't lost him as a potential friend and maybe she would be able to become Simon's friend too. It was the first time she ever visited anyone's house and she felt nervous as well as it being just like going out to eat! It was at someones house but it was about the same, right? She had forgotten about the taste of his food because of her nervous breakdown and was excited to try it again. Her face brightened and there was a little bit of a skip when she walked. As she left the garden she picked up one flower that was lonely on the ground. "Sh-should we go?" She looked at Simon and Jiro and began to walk to the door and out of the garden with them behind her.
@joeycbee@WaddleDaisy

@WaddleDaisy

During the kiss, Kyoichi felt how warm she was. From al of her reactions up to this point, one would expect her to be a little colder than the regular human. That was not the case. She was, indeed, just like him. Made of flesh and blood, capable of feelings.

There was a slight breeze around them, flowing through her hair gently. During the kiss, his hand had naturally moved to the back of her head, holding her gently. When she pushed away from him, he leaned back as well. For the briefest moment, he could swear that there was a blush on her cheeks.

"So, anything?" He whispered with a small smile on his face. In truth, words have not been created to describe the euphoric feeling he had in his own heart...

Jiro nodded back at Simon and lead the way. So Jiro walked through the halls covered in red, followed by innocent Nayu and Mr. Prince charming, Simon. The looks on people's faces were priceless as they left the building. Just as they walked out the front gates the bell rang signaling the end of lunch. Jiro took no notice of this since it wasn't the first time he's skipped before. He led the group down the sidewalk and across a few streets, passing the grocery store he worked at, and arrived at his house.

The front of his house was overgrown with different variations of grass, leaving only a small brick trail leading to his house visible. It also unlike most didnt have a garage. Other than that it looked like any other two story house on the street.

When you walk in there were brown wood flooring and a small entry way that immediate leads to the family room and a kitchen which were connected together. The family room had a couch against the wall with a lamp next to it in the corner. In front of the couch was a coffee table that was more on the smallish side of medium. As you walk further in you see on the opposite wall is a ridiculously small table holding a 48" Sony LED HDTV screen which had nothing connected to it, not even the cord was plugged in. On the wall facing the kitchen were bookshelf filled to the brim with books. Lastly there were books, lots of books littered everywhere.

On the other side was completely different. The kitchen looked like what you would see in a expensive restaurant, but water down. It had a little island with one of those commercial hibachi stainless steel grills with a rim of marble countertop around it with stools. He had pans and other cooking utensils hanging above it and on the walls. There is also a oven with burners on the top, a dish washer, stainless steel fridge, some expensive and extremely sharp knifes in a easy to access corner, and a sink. This took up more than half of the kitchen but left a good space to cook. There were also cabinets all above the counter and some below it as well (one of them being a liquor cabinet, but don't tell anyone). The main difference between the two is one looked much cleaner.

In between the two rooms was a hallway with three doors and at the end a staircase. Door number one led to his bedroom which was painted red with white cream trimming. It had a king size bed with a single blanket and no pillows. Next to it was his nightstand which had his medication, his clock, a lamp, and a few books, all crammed on top of it. The only other things were his drawers which contained his clothes and on top a small stuffed dog that he had since he was four, a laundy basket, and a mirror, leaving the room quite bare. Behind door number two contained your standard master bathroom. And behind door number three contained boxes of either junk his parents sent him or unpack items. It also had a small path around the boxes to a washer and dryer.

The second floor had the exact same layout but nothing was in the two rooms besides bare beds for guests, but the main floor area practically look like a mini library that didn't have enough shelves to put books on. There were 4 plastic tables in the middle that had tons of books on and all around it. The three bookshelf that were there, which looked drastically different from each other, were crammed to the brim with books. The only other things were more boxes with books and a ladder.


Jiro walked up to the door and unlocked it. He walked inside leaving his shoes on the side of the entrances, and gestured his hands inwards saying, "Welcome to my home, excuse the mess I don't have guest often. Make yourself at home I'll get cooking." After they walked in he went to the kitchen and pulled out various ingredients like spices and a bottle of vodka before turning around and asking them "What would you like to eat?" He had his sleeves rolled up with a black apron and it would be a perfect picture if he had a chef hat on.

I feel like I could have done a better job describing it.

@WaddleDaisy@sakurasan

Nayu:

As they walked out of the building, she heard the sound of a bell and hesitated to go back but decided not to since she only had 1 or 2 pages left of the packet anyways. The faces on the people around her were questioning and she wondered if something was happening with them. They all seemed to be gasping and whispering about things. She smiled at them at turned her head back forward and continued to follow Jiro to his home.
The house was very nice and it had a comfortable feel to it. She saw some boxes behind the door and stared at them with awe. "Are these packages from you parents? Like in the movies? Uwaaa I see these in a lot of movies when people move out! Do they have presents in them?? Wow... I thought that parents only sent those in movies." She never had a package sent to her home from someone close to her and er eyes twinkled as she continued to look around his home, her eyes twinkling. It was like a whole other world with books scattered everywhere and they were a variety of all kinds of stories. The place felt different from her home. The kitchen actually looked used and there was a sign of someone actually living there. Her home contained only a bed, TV, large bookshelf, Desk with a computer, a small kitchen, and a couch. Nothing was ever on the floor and most of the times she spent her nights at random places like cafes where you can sleepover. "Your house is great...and about the food... Anything that is edible and made by you I guess...How about you, Simon?" She asked as her neck was searching everywhere and just absorbing everything. The food choice wasn't something that she was concerned with that much. She was too busy looking around and she didn't know why but she felt kind of... warm in this home.
She realized after a while that it was her first time in a teenage boys room. The only time she saw women inside of guys rooms were in the pornos that her stepfather made and watched. She felt cold for a second but decided to shake it off and forget about it. She felt like she could trust Simon and Jiro. She smiled and sat down on the floor.

(Checking for mistakes)

@joeycbee@WaddleDaisy

@Eodwyn Aether Manami's face went red, but not from embarrassment. In fact, to a normal person one would be embarrassed at the fact that they had been told how to ask for food like a child was to say please and thank you. For her however, she was always around this kind of atmosphere due to the fact that meetings as well as cooperation assignments were quite gruesome if one wasn't ready for it. Right after his speech Manami extended her hand across the table, getting up in the process, and grabbing Liam by the collar of his shirt in an attempt to get him to look up at her. Manami held that position for a few seconds before saying anything to break the silence.

"Someone sure does know how to talk," she said in a low tone, but loud enough for Liam to hear. "I came here to teach you Math, and if you refuse my offer then I'd suggest keeping a low profile so as to not ruin my reputation." Of course some thought that by her reputation she meant school, but it was a social reputation that went beyond school. "As for the food," she looked down at one of his sandwiches then took one with her free hand. "That'll be my payment for today."

She had paused to sit back down in her chair not waiting for a response form Liam. "As well as any other day if you agree for me to tutor you." Manami then bit into the half sandwich as she put on leg on top of the other, and sat back in the chair. Wew, that was a close call. She was about to budge, and spill it all if not for the split-second decision to throw the conversation in another direction. One more second ans she would have been completely honest. What a disappointment. A simple guy swaying my determination. It's almost laughable.
