[IC] 永花城学園 - Nakkashiro Gakuen/Castle of the Eternal Flowers Academy [Closed]

[Spriggs27]

Through out all of Alice's classes she felt a little stumped at most of the work she was doing, and when ever she would try to stop the teacher would ask if she needed any help, and Alice's response to the laid back woman was always hostile in a way."I'm fine leave me alone." The whole entire day was an entire struggle for Alice to get through the work she was assigned to do along with everyone else, the entire day she felt like snapping, but it was soon over and it was lunch time.

Alice left the class room feeling angry, confused, mentally exhausted, and wanting to beat the crap out someone, when she walked her way to the lunch room she still felt angry and saw Dana with Leagsaidh, she couldn't hear the conversation, but she saw Dana put her lunch bag onto her head to prove something, Alice walked up to them while they were both distracted by their conversation, when they were finished and Dana sat down, Alice walked by and snagged Dana's bag lunch from the top of her head."Thanks for the extra lunch blondie." Alice told her as she sat at an empty table and took out what she had in her pocket earlier.

The thing that was in her pocket was just a small sandwich, but it looked off, the bread that was used in the sandwich looked like a glazed doughnut, in the middle there was ham and a beef patty, bacon, and weirdly some lettuce and onions to draw others away from the sandwich it self. The odd sandwich was wrapped in a small plastic baggy, she set it on the table and began to un-wrap it and when it was free from it's plastic prison, Alice took the onions out of the sandwich and took a bite out of it.

Nakkashiro Touka | 永花城　十花

Once homeroom ended it was time for the morning classes, and once those ended it was it for lunch. All the while Touka couldn't stop thinking about Leaghsaid in a way or another, even when the other girl wasn't close to her, he still couldn't unfocus her mind from her voice, the softness of her fair skin and the smell of her bright red hair.

Touka wasn't sure what was passing trough her head, though. It was inconceivable that
the Irish had flirted with her like that, and even if she did, the fact that Touka became so flustered about that would only mean that her heart isn't ready to deal with love yet. Specially, if said love comes from another girl.

But, maybe, if it was really true? If Lexy really had any feelings for her what would Touka do? If it was really true, maybe it wasn't so bad a thing, right? Maybe if they could talk about it and be sure of each other feelings, Touka might finally find a thing that she looked for during her whole life. Touka smiled at the thought as she made her way to the cafeteria.

Alas, the most beautiful roses are always the ones that have more thorns, just as Touka was about to find out...

When the dark haired girl got closer to the cafeteria, she saw Leaghsaid and smiled shyly to get her attention, but when Touka saw a small blond flirting openly with Lexy, tiptoeing to kiss the Irish girl. Touka felt as if something broke inside of her, something that shouldn't even be there to, begin with, she felt tears welling up and threatening to roll out of her eye.

The next thing that Touka knew was that she was running away from Lexy as fast as she could after shouting a hasty apology, and suddenly she bumped into someone on the corridor, burying her face in a pair of breasts that were quite well known for her. "Onee-chan, Onee-chan!" Touka shouted as she cried on her sister's bosom.

It was Touka's first taste of a medicine bitter than any other else, and as sure as the snow is cold, she wouldn't be forgetting it so soon.

Miyama Kirika | 三山　霧乎

Once the lunch time came, Kirika strolled happily out of her classroom and skipping steps and humming a merry tune, like a gradeschooler on a sugar high, all the way to the cafeteria.

As she passed the people on the corridor, she would casually wave to one or another, but her target was no one other than her newest friend, Shark-chan. When she was about to get there, she was bumped by a beautiful dark haired girl that looked almost like a model. The girl apologized and continued to run away before Kirika could say anything, so the white haired loli simply shrugged and continued on her way to the cafeteria.

When Dana was within her eyesight, Kirika thought of a good idea and decided to creep up behind her silently and cover Dana's eyes in a guess who game, though when Dana shifted around while talking to that unknown redheaded, Kirika lost her aim and her smallish hands ended up on Dana's chest instead of her eyes unintentionally.

Leagsaidh nodded her thanks and took her place next to the shorter girl. From here, she could see just about everyone as they entered or exited the cafeteria. Now all she had to do was keep an eye out.

"My name's Leagsaidh. It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Ferris."

Dana was an odd girl, Leagsaidh quickly discovered. Apparently she could tell she was a First Year not from her face, voice, or relatively undeveloped body when compared to older students, but rather from the way she walked. Then she made strange frantic gestures which might have been an imitation of someone walking, or could be an attempt at black magic. Either way, the message wasn't getting across.

But when Dana put her lunch bag on her head, Leagsaidh couldn't hold back a light chuckle at how surreal this was. This girl was a lunatic!

“See, First Years walk with a certain look in their eye. Kind of like a smoky expression… just like the one you're giving me now,"

Leagsaidh's face quickly rearranged itself into something a little less sultry. Hollow, in the back of her head, alarm bells were going off. This would end badly if she didn't do something about this right now.

“Yeah, you definitely have the look friend. Say, that’s almost the same look you flashed me earlier. You weren't being serious back then, were you~?”

"Ehehehe... sorry, little lady, but I'm not interested." she took a few involuntary steps back, but Dana didn't back off. Her face was contorted by lust and she showed no sign of slowing. She was leaning in...

Desperate to get out of this, Leagsaidh looked around to see if she could make something up to get her out of this scenario. Her eyes rested on Touka - how long had she been standing there? - and she almost whooped with joy. But as she focussed on her, she saw something. An expression. A queer mix of sadness and longing, with a healthy dose of betrayal for good measure. Why did she look like that? What had she seen that was so disturbing? Was it her? She seemed to be looking right at her. Or was it Dana? Did she know something about the little nymph Leagsaidh didn't?

Suddenly, Leagsaidh thought she had it. No wonder Touka looked so embarrassed when she thought Leagsaidh was flirting with her! No wonder she was so flushed and nervous! And no wonder she was sitting on her own! It all made so much sense now.

Touka and Dana must have been a couple. And Touka thought Dana was cheating on her. And if she was going out with the school's resident pervert, the reputation she must have had would have alienated her beyond the point of no return. It never occurred to Leagsaidh how such a pairing would come when Touka was in her year and therefore must have arrived at the same time as her - it just made so much sense!

But before she could yell Eureka, Touka ran off and Dana finally backed down, claiming not to be interested in girls. And when she said that, Leagsaidh felt a slight pang. If Dana wasn't homosexual, what did that mean for her Touka x Dana theory? Did Touka maybe have a crush on Dana and was upset at seeing her getting frisky with another girl? Or maybe they were going out and Dana was just playing her heart like a piano? Too many questions, not enough answers.

"Do me a favour, Miss Dana..." the Redhead said, with surprising coldness "Warn me before you do something like that. You just scared one of the girls I was looking for away."

And then came the second. Honestly, the timing couldn't have been better if scripted. Alice came out of nowhere, swiped the bag from Dana's head and mockingly thanked her for the second lunch. As she walked off, Leagsaidh sighed and shook her head.

"For goodness sake. Wait here, I'll go get it back. I was looking for her anyway." Leagsaidh instructed, before raising an eyebrow and pointing the mysterious pair of hands that now appeared to be growing from Dana's breasts. "And, eh... you might want to deal with that."

------

Leagsaidh approached Alice, not quite sure what to say. She didn't want to appear patronising but at the same time she had to show some kind of support and remorse. But she looked so angry. As much as Leagsaidh wanted to avoid getting molested by Sharkbait, it was infinitely preferable to having seven shades of red beat out of her by an furious Alice. Eventually, she mustered up some courage and went to sit with the Brazilian.

"Rough day?" she asked, smiling sadly."I... I wanted to apologise for earlier. If I had known..."

Dang, why was it so difficult to talk? She wasn't used to this! How did one negotiate and comfort at the same time?

"You're probably really mad at me right now. I just want you to know that... I'd like to make it up to you. You deserve better than what you've got, and I'm going to make sure you get it. I owe you that much, at least."

"You probably want to bash my face into dust right now" Leagsaidh laughed humorlessly and was surprised to find she had tears in her eyes. "If you do, I won't object. And if you want me to leave, I'll just go. But I just want to let you know that I'm here if you need me. Okay?"

[Spriggs27]

In the middle of class time Seika was pretty much take from the class and ambushed by her posse, or better yet known as the student council, they grabbed her and took her to the student council room, as they spoke to her all she could hear were blahs coming from them as they told her of duties and had her do paper work. She quickly blazed through the paper work that she was forced to do, then as she finished the paperwork she heard the bell for lunch time and Seika jumped from her desk in the student council room."[color=slateblue] It's lunch time, there's the bell it never fails it makes me want to wag my tail, right now I just wanna wail, Bellllllllll !" Seika sang as loud as she could before breaking out into the hallway.

Her posse followed after her into the hallway soon catching up to her, as they walked to the lunch room, Seika was soon ambushed by Touka who was crying into one of her posse member's breast, she was bawling into the other girl's chest till Seika pulled her away from the girl and hugged Touka and shushed her little sister." Don't worry about it Touka, what it maybe, I'll do my best to make it better." Seika told her and rubbed her back trying to help make her feel better, then Seika changed to manic suddenly." Are you okay ? Did someone hit you do you have bruises ? did someone do this too you, show me if they bruised you I'll make who ever made you cry feel the pain of a thousand suns and suffer a fate worse than death give me a name and I'll make sure their tomorrow is the worst day of their life." Seika sounded serious and almost scary. @KoL

Alice got halfway through her sandwich when Leagsaidh followed her over from Dana's table, Alice put her feet up on the table and onto the bag lunch Dana had as she came over and leaned back and took a bite out of her sandwich as Leagsaidh asked if she had a rough day." Oh no it was a good day, I made several friends, saw a unicorn, and became one with the force Also I completely forgive you." She didn't say anything and let what she said sink in." No shit Sherlock it was rough damn day, and I'm not forgiving you !" Alice yelled.

Alice listen to Leagsaidh try to explain why she was saying sorry and said that Alice didn't deserve what happened to her, Alice put both her feet back onto the ground and stood up, grabbed Leagsaidh by her shirt and gripped her up off the ground." So what your saying you pity me. Is that it ?!" Alice shook her as she held her off the ground.

Then suddenly Leagsaidh said she probably would want to bash her face in." Yeah I kinda do." she answered quickly, then Leagsaidh said she wouldn't object to getting beat up, Alice though it was weird of her to say." What ? So now you want me to beat the crap out of you ? Your really fucking weird, I know something you can do for me but not right her, probably later when we're alone, but for now take this sandwich with you to go." Alice held Leagsaidh with one hand and cocked back an arm, and punched Leagsaidh in the jaw and knocked her to the ground, Alice turned back to her chair and sat back down and kicked her feet up onto the table and onto the bag lunch. @White Feather

[TheWendil]

Dana shrugged to Leagsaidh's cold tones in response to her practical joke. Honestly, if the Irish girl couldn't take a simple prank from the resident trickster than she wouldn't survive long enough to complain further in Dana's company. With a razor grin, the petite girl was about to explain calmly how Leagsaidh had caused all of this by unintentionally flirting with her earlier in the day when Alice suddenly appeared and snatched away her balanced bag.

"My lunch," Dana said with a hint of concern, frowning as she watched Alice carry it off. "Fuck buddy didn't even ask," the short girl bemoaned miserably before her expression turned to one of curiosity from Leagsaidh's next words. More surprising was her offer to retrieve her lunch back then the small pair of hands slowly feeling her up.

"Oh hey Kirika-chan. Did you want to molest me right now? All you have to do is ask your new best friend Shark-chan, though I gotta warn you, there's a line," Dana said, twisting around to cast a semi-serious look to the younger girl. "Fuck buddy is first cause she always has to be on top. Next is Leek-chan over there with the red hair and...hmm, actually, I might have a whole line to book right now."

The toothy girl put a hand to her chin and gave her best impression of what she thought was a pretty nice and pretty accurate pondering pose. It wasn't as good as her First Year demonstration to Leagsaidh, but she didn't have her lunch to help her with that now did she?

Speaking of which, the contents of said lunch bag would come spilling out as Alice placed her feet over the brown bag unceremoniously. What appeared to be a whole fish, most likely a miniature tuna of some sort, slid out and splatted directly onto the Brazilian girl, juices flowing freely. No utensils or anything else really would be found in Dana's lunch bag so one had to wonder how exactly she was going to go about eating that thing.

She...She wasn't really part shark, right?

[KoL]

Nakkashiro Touka | 永花城　十花

Touka controlled herself a short while after Seika took her away from the breasts of the random girl that she had clang to and hugged her. A few seconds later, when she was able to talk again she said "Can I talk with you for moment, Onee-chan... just the two of us?" If Seika followed her to a place were they could talk alone, Touka would explain the whole ordeal she had been through his morning and ask her sister's opinion on what was happening with her.

After talking to Seika, Touka went back to the cafeteria, feeling much more resolute in her determination to talk with Leagsaidh, but she arrived there just as Alice had finished nailing a punch on the Irish girl's jaw. Touka didn't even stopped to think about what she was doing, her body just moved on its own as she run to Leagsaidh's side and asked "Lexy-chan! Lexy-chan, are you ok?" After checking to see that Leagsaidh had only a very nasty bruise on her face, Touka swallowed hard as she summoned all of her resolve to stand between Alice and Leagsaidh "I don't know what happened here, but I won't let you harm Lexy-chan again." Touka said as she glared at Alice with her remaining eye.

Miyama Kirika | 三山　霧乎

Since Kirika had closed her eyes too after pouncing on Dana, the sensation of not grabbing her eyes made the small girl feel quite weird. She squeezed Dana's breasts a couple times before Dana asked her what she was doing, only then, Kirika opened her eyes and jumped backwards with her cheeks slightly flushed from embarrassment "I'm sorry, Danna-sama. I wanted to cover your eyes, but... but..." Kirika stuttered while she tried to find the words she wanted. However when she saw that Dana didn't had her lunch with her Kirika flashed her a smile and said "Don't you have your lunch with you, Danna-sama? If you want you can have half of mine, as long as you don't care about the main dish being takoyaki, that is?"

Yoshida Mami

Wuxi. The city without tin. Little Shanghai. A declining commercial hub that had gone by many names in its two thousand years of history. Yet also a city of prestige and beauty, of the industry that kept nations afloat even in the toughest of ages. The greatest of China's silk-reeling cities, and home to manufacturing that far outstripped even entire states.

In the pale, unyielding eyes of Yoshida Mami, heir to one of Kyushu's greatest agricultural corporations, however, the city of Wuxi meant something else.

Rice.

The rice market of Jiangsu, the breadbasket that had ensured the power and stability of the ancient imperial dynasties of China. The rice market that despite having become a shadow of what it once was, continued to export its goods across the plains surrounding the mighty Yangtze. Its very name called to the glories of the past, of the powerful agricultural centre that impacted so much in the East Asian lands.

She had visited the city once. She was young. So young, a shy little sprout clinging tightly to her father's trouser leg as she tried to make herself scarce in the meeting that the Yoshida patriarch had been engaged in amongst both the business barons of Shanghai and the farmers of Wuxi. It had been frightening. Utterly so. The foreign smells, the atmosphere of solemnity, the power radiating of the influential men she had been sharing a room with ... Mami stilL shivered remembering that day. But it had also to brought to her something grand, something beautiful, something that few could compare to.

Rice.

Wuxi was famed for its rice. Yet it was not simply its status as the market of Jiangsu that had brought it such acclaim. The rice of Wuxi was divine in nature, and when cooked to perfection seemed to ooze with flavour, the natural oils of its grains seeping out onto the surface to bring about love and adoration in tastebuds. It was no mere rice that could be despoiled by the use of the technological device that was the rice cooker. It was a creation of the heavens, ambrosia in the form of a staple food that had been lovingly crafted by the humble cooks of Little Shanghai.

Since then, she had understood why her father did what he did. She understood why her family sought to bring food to all across the world. She understood why the humble rice grain could be such a beloved part of the diets of so many.

And here, in the cafeteria of Nakkashiro Gakuen, Yoshida Mami once again faced a bowl, simply-adorned, well-crafted, filled with steaming rice, motes of flavour seemingly seeping upon its surface. It was no rice of Wuxi, she could tell from an instant, but this was still rice that had been cooked with love. The very essence of flavour seemed to be captured in its visage. Her hands trembled for the porcelain navy chopsticks that sat patiently next to her bowl.

She yearned to taste it. She yearned for the rice's flavour.

But would the chefs of her school be capable of crafting a reasonable facsimile of the grain of the gods? Could she once again experience that beauty dancing upon her sensitive tastebuds? Mami did not know. She was frightened, her right hand, pale and shaking, reaching for the chopsticks.

She had to try.

So she did.

"I humbly receive," she whispered, thanking the gods for her meal in her native tongue.

Her right hand grasped the chopsticks gently, and with skill and dexterity mastered from imitation of her father and the teachings of her mother, Yoshida Mami lifted one single grain between the two sticks. She blew gently, letting her breath cool the heat of the grain.

Her left hand adjusted the statue of the Gautama Buddha that she had brought along. Its presence would bring her prosperity here in the cafeteria. For the greatest dining experience, she needed its reassuring powers.

The single grain entered her mouth.

It was ...

...

...

Rapturic.

Yoshida Mami dug in.

The shenanigans of Miyama Kirika and the girl's acquaintances nearby meant nothing to the rice heiress as she tidily and rapidly consumed the contents of her bowl.

It was just too good.

[Spriggs27]

As the fish broke free from Dana's bagging and fish juices gotten onto Alice's legs before sliding onto the floor and forming a large puddle of fish juices under it as it laid on the floor, Alice tried to wipe her legs off with a napkin trying to get the fish stench and juices off of her leg, Alice then glared at Dana." The hell is wrong with you ? Going around carrying around a fucking tuna in your bag, you one fishy bitch !" Alice yelled at Dana while another little girl groped her.

Suddenly there was another girl that appeared with some hair covering one of her eyes, Alice didn't know who she was, or see where she even came from, when she stood up for Leagsaidh, and even came to the Irish girl's aid, she then spoke to Alice saying that she wouldn't allow Alice to continue to hurt Leagsaidh, Alice stood up and crossed her arms." Heh I give you credit, most people would wait around till I left before helping their friend out, you got some real courage coming straight at me, so before I break your fucking nose and send you straight to the nurse's office, I'd like to know the name of the bitch I'm beating the shit out of them."

" Eh, I can learn it later after I beat the shit out of you." Alice cocked her arm back and was about to swing on her, but before Alice's fist could touch her face, something or someone stopped her. It was Seika, she stopped Alice's fist and looked over to Touka." Is this the girl that your attracted to Touka ? " Seika asked. Alice tried to pull her fist back yelling." What the-- ?!"

Before she could continue speaking Seika interrupted Alice by delivering a punch to Alice's face." Touka I don't know what kind of people you hang out with, but you should probably make better friends." the Brazilian woman recovered from the punch and went in for a sucker punch on Seika and hit the blue haired girl in the eye and almost made Seika fall onto Touka, but the president caught herself and went in for another attack, Alice did the same. But before either of the two could get into a real fight they both were paralyzed and stopped before they could land a punch on each other, right in between them was the Security chief, she was holding both of the girls by their shoulders and was holding them back.

And before either of the girls could react to her or say anything, several of the women guards entered the lunch room." The Lunchroom is usually your free time away from your classwork and school duties, and it's also my lunch time, but since you both want to cause trouble I will allow the principle take care of you this time." The security chief told the two, the security guards took the girls to the principle's office dragging them out of the lunch room.

[Unfortunately]

In a pretty short time, Byakko got her meal fresh out of the counter. Problem was, this was the same meal over and over again from every other frequent day at the school, and she had to put up with this for one more year. If only they served anything other than katsudon, ramen, chicken roast, burgers, whatever food there was other than typical 'murican and weeaboo meals, if she could cook--

"No."

Byakko can't cook. Well, she can, but she ain't have time for that shit. If her roommate can, good luck to them. Maybe now would be a good time to search for a table. She's already on a chair, obviously, so the best thing to do is to get to a vacant spot, position herself, plop the tray down and eat.

Without the traditional manners of thanking whoever inexistent person she had to thank, so Byakko might get a few suspicious looks from her seatmates.

[@whoever the fuck Byakko is interacting with, on a first come first serve basis from a table]

[White Feather]

As Leagsaidh was knocked flat on her arse, her first thoughts were not 'What did I do?' or 'This really hurts'. Oh no, Leagsaidh's first thoughts were She couldn't have been too angry with me. I still have all my teeth

"That's quite a punch." she said casually, not quite ready to get up "You ever considered boxing?"

But karma played it's hand and as Alice tried to slump back casually, her feet crushed Dana's lunch, sending bits of what looked like raw fish all up her leg. Leagsaidh barely suppressed a giggle as she tried to crawl to her feet.

"Lexy-chan! Lexy-chan, are you ok?"

Touka? Why was she getting involved? Dang it, she was going to hurt herself!

"I'm fine, don't worry..." she tried to reassure her friend, but her words fell on deaf ears as Touka proceeded to give Alice a tongue-lashing. Leagsaidh almost covered her eyes as she heard Alice commend her for her bravery, then threaten to send her to the nurse's office. It was heartwarming, to say the least, that Touka didn't back down. She didn't even flinch. Leagsaidh felt a new respect flourish for this half-blind girl who she had met not a few hours ago squaring up to someone who would surely absolutely destroy her if they did fight.

But before Alice could get a single hit in, a newcomer appeared. She had grabbed Alice's fist mid-flight, looked at Touka and asked Is this the girl that you're attracted to, Touka ?". Leagsaidh looked around but there was no-one she could see that the new girl could be referencing. Did she mean Alice? That's a laugh. Perhaps it was sarcasm, or a subtle way of jabbing fun at her. Oh well, there was a gratuitous fist-fight to watch!

Leagsaidh took the time to get back on her feet and pull Touka out of the danger zone as the trappings of a true brawl grew. But before the duel could get started in earnest, the security woman at the assembly appeared (out of absolutely nowhere, it seemed. What was she, some kind of Kunoichi?) grabbed the two would-be fighters and dragged them out of the lunch hall, much to the Irish girl's relief. She didn't like fights at the best of times, but she couldn't shake the feeling she had caused this one.

Sighing with relief, she turned to Touka and spoke "That was a close one. Are you okay?"

She sat down at the nearest clean table and beckoned Touka to join her. It seemed to be mostly empty, bar a girl at the far end tucking in to some rice with a psuedo-orgasmic look on her face "S-sorry about that. But thanks. It was nice to have someone sticking up for me. she laughed nervously, then got serious "I saw you running away when you saw me and Shark-tooth over there. Is everything alright? Has she done anything to you? She wasn't leaning in for anything... sultry, if that's what you're thinking. She was just messing around.

@Spriggs27@KoL@Crimmy

[TheWendil]

“Dana-sama? What happened to Shark-chan?” Dana questioned with a sly smirk that had maybe just a hint of cool malice to it. It lasted for a few moments before the easy-going grin reappeared and she flashed off her sharpened teeth gleefully. Moving behind Kirika, she began to casually push her over to a table for their lunches.

“Whoah, you’re so nice Kirika-chan! Sure, I’ll take some takoyaki if you don’t mind sharing with me. Oh ho, maybe one day the school will give us real lobster! Ah, but that’s only a fool’s dream for a fool, right Kirika-chan?”

It wasn’t too hard to spot a table and really, Dana just led them to the first one she caught sight of. From the looks of it, it was another First Year Student eating away at some rice. Dana raised an eye at the scene, impressed that the girl seemed to focus solely on her rice as if it was the grandest dish in the cosmos. Sitting down across from Mami, Dana waved in front of the girl several times and even made some funny faces, wondering why she had this glassy expression on her face.

Was the rice really that good? Dana wondered this with a tilt of her head. Before she could really ask the other girl though, the sounds of an outburst leading up to a fight were heard nearby. Turning around in her chair, the short blonde felt the familiar tingling of a coy smirk winding itself on her face.

“Glad you like the lunch Fuck Buddy,” she called out enthusiastically before the fight began. “Oh ho, and standing in the corner with the common sense of a harem anime protagonist…it’s Leek-Chan! And standing in the next corner with about forty, fifty, nay, sixty pounds of Brazilian rage and estrogen, it’s Fuck Buddy! But watch out, she’s got a secret weapon hidden from plain sight!”

Her spectating brought the gazes of most of the lunch eating girls over to her before they noticed the fight taking place. Some of them backed away from the scuffle, knowing how Alice could get while the First Years watched on in amazement.

“Ooh, and here comes a new player! It’s Class President with her bully repellent! With a swing and a jab, she's taking the lead! But, oh no, here comes…it can’t be…it’s Satsuki Kiryuin herself! Everyone, hide your clothes before she calls you pigs!”

At this point, the onlookers simply ignored Dana’s announcing and got back to their lunches, lest the Security Chief lock them up too. Seriously, who the hell was Satsuki Kiryuin? Some of the girls recognized the name from that show about puberty and scissors but didn't comment on it. Well, at least Dana was cute they thought. Even if she was, seemingly, a nerdy otaku. As both Alice and Seika were carried away, Dana waved happily at them both before turning over to Mami and Kirika now.

“Oh ho, that was fun. So, this your first time at the cafeteria?” she asked Mami. “Don’t worry, stuff like that only happens, like, three times a day.”

[Crimmy]

Yoshida Mami

Yoshida Mami, rice heiress and shy girl extraordinaire, simply nodded, picking up a clump of her meal with her porcelain chopsticks before bringing it into her mouth. She chewed quietly. She swallowed. Her chopsticks moved to pick up another clump, and she repeated her actions once more. She chewed. She swallowed. She picked up more rice. She chewed and swallowed. Her eyes seemed unfocused, seemingly looking past Dana towards something further in the distance.

Her bowl was empty. As was demanded by courtesy, it was speckless, with no remaining grains left on the inside of the china. The meal had been completed. To leave any grain was to be wasteful, to dishonour the labours undertaken by those from the lowliest rice farmer to the chefs who had prepared the divine meal. That was the principle of "mottanai", to refrain from engaging in wasteful action. It was not a concept unique to Japan. It was universal, recognising the burdens that the rice had taken upon and thanking those who had bent themselves over to provide her with sustenance. She lightly placed her chopsticks horizontally over the bowl.

Respect for the ancestors. She would not insult them by dropping them into the bowl like one did with incense sticks.

It was at this point that Yoshida Mami realised her current predicament.

There were people around her.

People who were evidently more excitable than her.

People who were attempting to engage in conversation with her.

Yoshida Mami decided that it was a good idea to put her hat back on.

Nakkashiro Touka | 永花城　十花

Touka gritted her teeth when she saw Alice rev her arm back and get ready to punch her, just like she did to Leagsaidh. Despite knowing that she wouldn't probably be taking that hit as well as the Irish girl that laid on the floor right now, Touka didn't back down and just closed her eyes waiting for the dark-skinned girl's fist.

Oddly it never came, and when she looked to see why, Touka saw that Seika had intervened to defend her and asked if Leagsaidh was the girl Touka possible had feelings for, to which she replied with a curt nod. Before anyone could do anything, the security chief came and dragged both Alice and Seika out of the dinning hall. Touka tried to intervene in her sister's favor but it was useless.

Once they were left in the dinning hall, Touka took notice of the commotion around, but still she was even more resolute now that Leagsaidh had thanked her and explained the whole situation with the small blond girl that was sitting besides they. Touka took out her handkerchief and offered it to Leagsaidh, before saying "Lexy-chan, there's something I must talk with you can you come with me after we are done with our lunches, please?" Then, she sat properly at the table and ate her lunch quietly, but occasionally sending glances to the other girls around. "I'm sorry for disturbing your lunch earlier, please forgive me." She thought about apologizing to them, but whenever she tried to Touka couldn't force the words out of her throat, and in the end was unable to do it before she was done with her lunch.

If Leagsaidh followed Touka as she was asked to, she would soon find herself at the back of the auditorium and Touka under the shade of a tree, looking at her intently. "Lexy-chan, I don't know how to say this, but I think there's something you must know. I ran away earlier because I thought that blonde girl was... doing something with you, and when I looked at the blond who hit you, I simply... my body just moved on itself when I thought that you were hurt."

Touka's gaze now rested on her own feet as she talked, since she would be unable to say what she had to if she was looking Leagsaidh in the eyes "Lexy-chan, the thing is... I think... I think that I... love you." Touka knew that it was impossible that her twisted feelings would be reciprocated by the Irish girl, thus tears run free from her eye as she cried "I'm sorry!" and run away towards a small pavilion on a clearing in the woods behind the school and crouched there, hugging her knees and crying her heart out for being so stupid.

As Dana began her commentary of the whole event the Security chief heard the entire thing and gotten annoyed by it, another security guard bigger than Dana came in after the chief ordered her too, and grabbed the small second year under her arm and took her without explaining why she was taking the shark toothed girl away to the office to meet with the principle and the security chief.

When the shark toothed girl was taken to the office, her nose would have been hit with the smell of fresh cut roses, there was a long row of seats next to the window outside to the atrium and just out of reach there was the door to the outside, Dana she was among Seika and Alice, Seika being restrained to a chair in a straightJacket and the latter being only restrained by a set of handcuffs and a security guard that was holding her shoulders as she stood up, the security guard put Dana into one of the chairs in the office.

The security Chief looked at all of the girls she cracked one of her knuckles." First day and already causing problems, I'm surprised by all of you, but also I'm excited, because now I get to punish each and everyone one of you my way." She glared at each and everyone one of them with a sparkle in her eye that would spark intimidation among the three girls." And You blondie." The chief pointed at Dana." Don't think I'm not watching you, I noticed your little grope fest after the opening ceremony, if you keep up your antics I'll see to it that today will be the last day you'll enjoy groping."

Suddenly the principle arrived." Now now, is threatening the students on the first day really the thing to do ? " She asked in a calm tone as she undone the binds on Seika's straight jacket, but didn't free Alice from her cuffs. The security chief was surprised by the principle's actions." Run along Seika, here take a piece of candy." The principle handed Seika a piece of candy then just pushed the blue haired girl out of the office without giving her no punishment.

She then looked at Alice and Dana." Now what did these two do ?" The principle asked, The security Chief crossed her arms and looked at the two sighing." The small one is here for harrasment, the big one is here for assault against another student and harrasment." She explained. The principle put a hand on her chin and wondered wondering what to do." Let'em go." The security chief looked flummoxed." W-what ?!" She managed to get out before the principle took Alice out of her handcuffs and brushed Dana's clothes off." Go ahead you two, it's your first day stay out of trouble." She told the two.

" Sweet I'm out." Alice said before leaving feeling a bit surprised by what happened. The security Chief was still shocked by what happened." Uh what, ma'am you know you just let free two students that should be suspended for their actions, they should be punished for their actions, not giving them a slap on the wrist." The chief said sounding livid. The principle didn't get angry back she kept a lazy smile on her face and asked." Did you eat lunch ?"

The chief looked away from the old lady for a second." No." she answered. The principle took out a candy bar." Here eat a Snickers, your not you when your hungry." The chief reluctantly took the candy bar and took a bite out of it." Better ? " The principle asked. The chief was quiet for a moment and looked away." Shut up." The chief told her before leaving. The principle then looked to Dana." Go have some fun before you get all old and can't have any more." she told Dana giving her a thumbs up.

Well, weren’t things progressing quite smoothly? With no reason whatsoever, Dana found herself being literally plucked away from her seat and hoisted away like a flying magic carpet. She merely blinked, still chewing her lunch in her mouth as she waved a farewell to Kirika. Maybe she was getting punished for her totally awesome commentary of the lunch fight? Nah, that couldn’t be it.

Her theory began to falter though as she was brought into a room that reeked of roses, only to see both Seika and Alice; one restrained in a straight jacket and the other in handcuffs. Her eyes widened in glee and she grinned impishly. This really was a BDSM school! She knew Alice got her spunk somewhere and now it was all coming clear to her! Though she had to wonder why the School President had a straightjacket. Wasn’t that a little bit excessive?

As she was being placed in her chair, Dana couldn’t help but sigh in dejected sadness. Where was her BDSM gear? How come she didn’t get tied up like the other two? So potent was her disappointment that she flat out ignored what the Satsuki rip off was belting out to her, only perking up when the School Principle herself came in, being the sweet old lady that she always was.

In no time, Seika was let free along with both her and Alice. Well, what was the point of all that then? There were no whips or anything! Bouncing out of her chair, she gave the principle two thumbs up before walking out casually and following Alice back to the lunch room.

“See ya Sensei,” she said happily to the principle before eventually reaching the cafeteria once again. No more than five minutes had passed and Dana found her seat back at Kirika and Mami’s table. Sitting down as if nothing had happened, the sharp-toothed girl glanced at her henchmen.

“Hey Tuna-chan? Did I ever tell you that the security here is laughable?”

When Leagsaidh was invited to speak with Touka-chan alone, she was more than happy to accompany her. Maybe she would finally get some answers as to why she was acting weird?

It was nice out here. Quiet, calm, shaded. Exactly the kind of place one would share a secret that they didn't want anyone else to know. Leagsaidh sat under the tree and let Touka speak in her own time.

What if she actually is a lesbian or bisexual? What should I say?

"Lexy-chan, I don't know how to say this, but I think there's something you must know.

Do I ask questions? Hug her and say it's okay?

I ran away earlier because I thought that blonde girl was... doing something with you, and when I looked at the blond who hit you, I simply... my body just moved on itself when I thought that you were hurt."

Wait. What? No, that wasn't right! She could see Touka wasn't looking her in the eyes - the general act of a shy girl telling an embarrassing secret or something more personal to Leagsaidh?

Oh, please Sweet Virgin Mary, don't say what I think you're going to say.

"Lexy-chan, the thing is..."

Oh no.

"I think... I think that I..."

Oh God no.

"...love you."

Drat...

Touka must have thought that Leagsaidh would take it badly and she quickly darted off, tearfully apologising. Not being one to remain starstruck, Leagsaidh ran after her.

"Touka-chan, wait!"

No response. Leagsaidh tailed the distraught girl into the forest out the back of the school, into a clearing with some kind of pavilion on it. Touka sank, cuddling her knees with tears flowing like a waterfall.
A more logical person would have kept their distance. They would have said "She'll talk in her own time" and observed quietly from afar. Leagsaidh O'Donnell was not that kind of person. Instead, she ran on to the pavilion and more or less scooped Touka into her arms for a hug, ignoring the tears that were now soaking through her sun-skirt.

For a few seconds all was quiet. When Touka had calmed down a little bit, Leagsaidh decided to press the most important matter.
"I think we need to talk about this further, Touka-chan. You clearly have a lot of feelings that need to be discussed."

"The first thing I want you to know is - I think you were really brave for telling me. And I'm really flattered that you... erm, feel that way about me. And I don't think less of you for it, either. If anything, I only admire you more."

"But I also want to get the record straight. I... don't know if I like girls yet or not. I mean, I've never really been into guys, but I never really thought I'd end up with a girl either. And believe me, I'm just as scared and as... what's the word? Unsure? As you are. I just want to make sure I get this right."

"So I want you to do me a favour. I want you to really ask yourself 'Do I really , truly love Lexy-Chan?' And if the answer is no, then that's fine. We can put this behind us, or talk about it more or whatever you feel comfortable with. I won't be upset if you want to withdraw that statement. I want you to be as comfortable, and as honest with yourself, as possible"

"But if the answer is yes... Love is a complicated thing. If you mean love as in wanting someone to be happy, safe, comfortable and all round have the best possible life they can have, I guess I love everyone. But if you mean that I feel happy, safe and comfortable because of someone - a feeling of affection, I guess -" Now it was Leagsaidh's turn to blush "Then I guess I love you too, Touka-chan. I can't deny feeling some kind of... attraction to you. So if you really are asking me out, I guess I could... I mean, we could be... You know. The G word."
