It was also no secret that whatever had caused said coma had also caused a rather…blunt personality shift within the once shy girl. And of course, it was by far no secret that she and the Red King had a thing going on. Michael blinked as someone bumped into him, eyes taking in the image of Erika’s smiling form. So it was true. She really was back…a certain Green King owed him a bet. And with her reappearance came a new sense of belonging, almost a new aura. He could practically see it in her smile and he had to wonder what happened to the meek girl he knew. Not that he was complaining… [color=ed1c24]“Erika…”[/color] But before he could say anything else, she was already gone, her arm lingering on his. He focused in on that soft sensation, mind reading a number of things. Well then. Perhaps this was for the best. With a growing smile that was hard to read on his face, he turned to give Aaron a knowing glance before carrying on his way.

School had finally let out with the final bell and she was maneuvering through the swarm of students to find her Jukey. Hearing that Yuuno was off to do some Deep Ground work, she waved her off with a thumbs up. [color=6ecff6]“Yeah, do your best Yuunno! I know one day you’ll find a hot guy for you. Or maybe even…some forbidden love? >:3”[/color] she said with a wink before seeming to melt into the sea of students. One had to wonder what was wrong with the Vice President at times… [color=6ecff6]“Oh! And don’t forget to greet the new Avatars in our guild! Bye Uno~!”[/color] [hr] [color=8493ca][center][h3]Yoshino Tsugumi[/h3][/center][/color] [center][img] http://i.imgur.com/hqriltv.png [/img][/center] [quote][color=#8493ca]To[/color]: Retsu Goroshi [color=#8493ca]From[/color]: Yoshino Tsugumi [color=#8493ca]Subject[/color]: Re: Busy later? [color=#8493ca]We can meet up if you want. Maribel is supposed to be taking care of the office today along with other things. Assuming she’s not spending time with her boy toy. I’m heading out of the Academy right now. [/color] [/quote] Yoshino sent this message even as she was moving, eager to have something on her mind other than work. Honestly, with the random commotion that had been happening in the last two days, getting a break was few and far between. She could only hope Bel would keep her word and manage the Student Council duties for the day; even she needed some time to relax. Though it was more due to Retsu’s concern for her health than anything else…and speaking of that, she felt her throat suddenly constrict with the feeling of bile. A familiar but unwanted feeling suddenly overcame Yoshino and she furrowed her eyes behind her glasses at how sudden the sensation had entered her mind. Only one person could make her feel like this and Yoshino saw her walking away off to some random place in the school hallways. Adjusting her glasses, Yoshino knew that wherever [i]she[/i] went, there was bound to be trouble. So she followed, keeping at a distance lest she earn this individual’s wrath. What she saw was a fairly new girl with blonde hair who she recognized as Itsuko Kanzaki along with two others, Cassandra O'Shera and Hibiki Toho. And the one who had stepped in to join the bullies was none other than [url=http://i.imgur.com/2B7SLVt.jpg]Chiyo Kuroke[/url]. The White King and the one who had always tried to make Yoshino’s life a living hell. Chiyo sneered as Hibiki and Cassandra’s attempt to be offensive, merely crossing her arms unimpressed. [color=c4df9b]“And what are you going to do if we don’t feel like moving? Please, tell me each aspect of your pathetic plan so I can laugh at it before kicking it into the dirt. Which will be soon followed with your faces,”[/color] Chiyo said with venom, daring either of the three girls to do something about it. It was a tough situation since everyone knew Chiyo had powerful ties, both in Deep Ground and in reality. So much as laying a finger on her was almost a guarantee to have them shipped out of Purple Crown. Seeing this display, Yoshino silently fumed, more so at Chiyo herself than the actual confrontation.
