senashenta | Buying Some Dust...

*chuckles* Maa ne!^^ Good one! Maaaa...Wasn't expecting a scene today. Thank you!!^^

Hide: ^^;;; Ha...Great...

*giggles* Now you're done for, Hide.^^;;

*shrugs* I started writing another one, too, but I didn't get it finished. ^^; It was a scene that took place assuming that Rai had left back there when Suzuki asked him to... naaa... but it was really depressing, so I didn't finish it up yet... ^^;;;

Nozomi: XD

Nazoko: *BLUSH* N-naaaaa...

Miru: *bows vaguely* Omedetou ne, Hide-sama. ^^

Must be hard to write...^^;; I was also wanting to write that scene where Rai just lies in her room and crying.*sighs* And then there's that Aoi-Rai scene that I mentioned...

Hide: Aa...Arigato.^^;;

Chika: *smirks* Took you two long enough...Happy now?

Hide: Of course...^^

Kin: Na, we told you she'd like it!^^

How are you by the way? Coughing still?

It's very depressing. ;__; But I really want to write it... naa, I guess we'll see. ^^;

Miru: ^^

Nozomi: ^__^ *GLOMPS Hide* Omedetou Hide-niisama!!

Nazoko: N-Nozomi... O_o;;

Yup. Still coughing. *hackhackhack* Not quite as bad as before, though...

What's going to happen in that scene?

Hide: *falls over* A-aa...Arigato ne...Nozomi-chan...^^;;;

Chika: *giggling hysterically* Oh goodie! I get two sisters!^^ This is so much fun...

Kin: *chuckles* ^^

That's good at least ne?^^ The rest is doing you good.

I think it's going to be the scene where M! And F!Suzuki talk... but not really in a dream. ^^;;; It's strange, actually... Suzuki in her room, kind of staring out the window and listening to the clock tick, and M!Suzuki trying to comfort her... almost a ghostly presence in the background. ^^;;; Yeah...

Nozomi: *HUGGLES* >^-^<

Nazoko: ^^;;;

Miru: *giggles* Na, Nozomi... you'll hurt someone some day, you know? ^^;

Rest and lots of medication. *nods*

Aa...What's he saying to her?

Hide: *makes a soft choked/stranggled sound* @_@

Chika: *giggles even more hysterically* >^-^<

Kin: No-Nozomi...Na...^^;;;

^_^ Right!

Just talking to her about various things... telling her that it's okay to love, that it's okay to need someone. *shrugs* Generally being sympathetic and consoling...

Nozomi: ^^ *giggles and lets him go* Gomen!

Nazoko: ^_^;; Ah... daijoubu desu ka, Hide-sa--ah... daijoubu?

Miru: ^^;;

Maaa...It seems sometimes that M!Suzuki has different perspectives on things from F!Suzuki ne?

Hide: I'll be fine...Yeah...*gulping a bit*

Chika: He'll be oka~y!^^

Kin: ^^;;;

Sou ne, though I'm not really sure why. Mm... he's a lot more open with how he feels, a lot more accepting. *shakes her head*

Nazoko: Good, then. ^^;

Nozomi: Kiii~n! *GLOMPS Kin too*

Miru: ^^;;; Nozomi-chan...

Yeah...And I guess it helps that Rai is more responsive to him ne?

Hide: Aa...*slowly getting up from the floor*

Kin: Maa ne...*chuckles, catching her expertly, kissing her gently* Yes Nozomi?^^

Chika: *giggles* They are so adorable.^^ And I'm far too peppy right now, yep...

Exactly... he doesn't have as many reservations as F!Suzuki does. ^^

Nazoko: Naaa... *giggles softly and reaches to help him up* Gomen... Nozomi's... enthusiastic. ^^;;

Nozomi: Nothing! Just happy. ^^ *kisses him back*

It's so cute that Kin just catches her like it's no big deal. >^-^<

Miru: Peppy, Chika-sama? ^^; How come?

Guess F!Rai's good for him.^^

Hide: *takes her hands and pulls himself up* Aa, I saw that. Naaa...Methinks this won't be the last glomp I'll be getting in a while.^^;

Kin: Mm...*chuckles softly, kissing her nose* Aa, Hide-san and Nazoko-san ne?^^

Well he must be used to it ne?^^ *giggles* And it's sweet really...

Chika: Just very happy.^^ About everything.

She is of course. ^_~

Nazoko: Not with you being her "Hide-niisama"... ^^;;;

Nozomi: Sou! >^-^< It makes me so happy!

I suppose he would have to be... or Nozomi would constantly be falling down. ^^;;; *gigglesnort* Sou ne, it's cute. >^-^<

Miru: Aa, sou ne. ^^

Maaa...F!Rai is just so nurturing in her own way I guess...^^

Hide: No, I don't think so.^^; *chuckling softly*

Kin: It makes me happy too.^^ *pulling her closer, giving her a hug*

Very adorable.^_~

Chika: Sou ne...^^ *sighs*

She can be, yes. ^^ She just very... pleasant. Very loving, actually, though neither of them have said it yet. ^^;;

Nazoko: Ah... ^^;;; Exactly...

Nozomi: Naaa... good! ^^ Everyone's happy, then... *huggles* It makes me happy that everyone's happy. >^-^<

Hee. ^^

Miru: ^^

Yeah...^^;; Naaaa...*eyes M!Rai/F!Suzuki forum* He seems to be realizing something...^^

Hide: Maa ne, I don't think it'd be too bad.^^

Kin: *chuckles* Sou ne.^^

Chika: Naaa...*sighs* Guess our work is done, ne?^^

He does, doesn't he? Though he still won't say it, I'm sure... *sighs* It's nice that he's comign around, though...

Nazoko: Of course not... *giggles and kisses his cheek lightly* I'll protect you when Nozomi gets out of hand, ne? ^^

Nozomi: >^-^<

Miru: Pretty much. ^^

Naa! By the way! Did we ever decide of whether Miru and Kouma have kids or not?

It is...*sighs, smiling vaguely* At least it's giving Suzuki hope...

Hide: Awww, you will? *chuckles, taking her into his arms and huggling her* I love you, you know that?^^

Kin: *chuckles, kissing her nose again* ^^

Chika: Maa nee...What to do now hm? *chuckles softly, shaking her head*

Oh no! We haven't!^^;;

Aa... *sighs* Maa ne...

Nazoko: Of course I will! ^^ *giggles and kisses him lightly* I love you, too, Hide. ^^

Nozomi: Maaaa... >^-^<

Miru: You just need someone to bother, I think. ^^;;

I didn't think so... ^^;;;

*patpats* It'll work out.^^

Hide: Love you very, very, very much.^^ *kisses her back lightly*

Kin: *chuckles softly* What hm?^^

Chika: Sou ne!^^ Hm...I wonder who...

So...Any ideas?^^; Oh gods and Aki and Washi too!

^^;;

Nazoko: Naaaaaa... *giggles softly, blushing vaguely* I know, I know...

Nozomi: Nothing. ^^ Just happy.

Miru: Why are you looking at me like that? ^^;;;

Maaaa... I don't know. ^^;;; What do you think?

Hide: Maa ne, why does it sound like you're weary of me already hm? *chuckles softly, poking her gently*

Kin: That's good then...^^

Chika: Hm? *eyebrow quirk* Like what, Miru-chan?

I was thinking a son for Kouma and Miru, really.^^; Just no idea if Washi and Aki would have a kid at all...

Nazoko: Naaa! No poking, ne... *giggles and shakes her head a bit* You think I'm tired of you? Of course not... ^^

Nozomi: Yup. ^^

Miru: Like you'd thinking you should be paying attention to me, now that Hide-sama and Nazoko-chan are engaged, and Kin-sama and Nozomi-chan are happy... ^^;;;

A son would work for Miru and Kouma, I think. ^^ Mm... Aki and Washi...

Hide: *chuckles softly, huggling her closer* Naaaa...Good.^^ I'm happy tht you're not.

Kin: Sou ne.^^ So, what have you been up to lately Nozomi?

Chika: *giggles, winking impishly* Do you want me to pay attention?^^ I have a means of contacting Kouma-sama you know...

Sou ne, for an heir and all that, but he could have brothers and sisters too maybe...^^ Actually, I don't see the both of them getting married too...^^;

Nazoko: *giggles and shakes her head a bit* Na, did you think I was only putting up with you because I wanted a ring? *smiles, poking at his cheek a bit* Of course I'm not. ^^ I don't think I could ever be sick of you.

Nozomi: Nothing, really... ^^ The same old stuff... it's Nazoko who's got the interesting life right now. ^^;

Miru: N-no! I was just... you had that look... ^^;;; *blushes and shakes her head* M-maa ne... ^^;;

I can see Miru with more than one child... she's just the mother-y kind, really. ^^; What do you think about Kouma, though? *shrugs* Naa... Washi And Aki probably don't strike me as all that interested in being marriage... but they're both your characters, so it's up to you. ^^

Hide: Maaaa, but I'm still happy so there.^^ *kissing her on the cheek quickly*

Kin: Aa, apparently.^^ *chuckles* Na, I wonder when they would be ready to marry though...

Chika: *giggles* Don't worry, Miru-chan.^^ I don't matchmake people if they don't want me to, though of course Hide and Kin are very special cases.^^

Maybe along with their son they could have two girls.^^ I think Kouma would like children, yeah. And yeah, Aki and Washi are not the marrying kind at all.^^;; Maaaa neee and I really want Leika to find herself a boyfriend! I just don't know who!

Nazoko: Aa, so am I. ^^ *giggles*

Nozomi: Eventually, Nazoko'll get tired of living with me, and she'll just get married to him so she can move out. >^-^;;

Miru: You sure about that? ^^;;;

Three kids for them, then. ^^ *gigglecough* Well... if you really wanted, you could fling Leika in Ryoka's direction and see what happens... ^^;;;

Ryoka: O_o;;

Kozue: ^^;;; *patpat*

Hide: Then we're good.^^

Kin: *chuckles softly, kissing her gently* Why would anyone get tired of living with you ne?^^

Chika: *looking at her with a smile before giggling* Do you want me to match you up with Kouma-sama, Miru-chan?>^-^<

*SNIGGERS* Oh my God!XD That'd be interesting...*sniggers some more*

Leika: ^_~

Akuma: *sniggers* Oh it's a hell alot interesting, yeah...XD

Nazoko: Of course we are. ^^

Nozomi: Maaaa... *giggles and kisses him back* I think you're the only one who thinks like that, Kin. ^^;;

Miru: N-no... ^^;;;;

*gigglesnort* I thought you'd like that. XD

Ryoka: Do I get a say in this?

Kozue: *sigh* Does anyone around here get a say in what happens to them?

Ryoka: *coughs and shakes his head*

Kozue: Exactly. ^^;;;

Hide: Sou ne.^^

Kin: Is that so? *chuckles softly* Well I think we did say I was strange ne? Like you?^^

Chika: *giggles* You sure?^^

I like!XD Though really...How they'll get together is beyond me...^^;;

Akuma: *SNIGGERS*

Leika: *eyebrow tick* And what are you laughing about, Akuma?

Akuma: Need you ask? It's the funniest thing that's happened here in a long time!XD

Leika: Hmp! *flips her hair over her shoulder, certain...parts bouncing appropriately with the movement*

Leika's pretty well-endowed, yeah...^^;;

Nazoko: *giggles and kisses hom gently* Sou. ^^

Nozomi: Aa! >^-^< Strange is good, Kin! Strange is good!

Miru: A-aa... ^^;;;

I have no idea... ^^;;; I think they'd look good together, though, wouldn't they? ^^;

Ryoka: *eyeing Akuma*

Kozue: Akuma-san... ^^;;;

Ryoka: *clears his throat* It's not that amusing, Akuma...

Hide: Maaaaaa...^^ *huggles, squeezing her a bit* Mmmmmmm!^^

Kin: Sou ne!^^

Chika: *giggles, sighs, smiling still* All right then...^^

Yeah.^^ With Ryoka being as handsome as he is and Leika being her drop-dead-gorgeous self, they'd turn heads wherever they went.^^;

Akuma: *sniggers* You have no idea, Ryoka...

Leika: Will you kindly go away?

Akuma: And why should I when this is all so entertaining? *smirking, a fang peaking out from under his lip*

Leika: *tightens her grip on her fan, holding it as if to point at him* Do you want me to hit you, you uncouth buffoon?

Nazoko: Naa! *giggles, blushing a bit* Never change, ne Hide. ^^

Nozomi: Exactly. >^-^<

Miru: ^^;;;;

I can't think of any way for them to get together, though... unless Akai had something to do with it. ^^;;; He'd probably set them up just because they'd be so pretty together, and 'cause he figured Ryoka needed to lighten up a bit... ^^;

Ryoka: =_=;;

Kozue: Ne Akuma-san... uh... let's go. ^^;; I'll buy you a drink or something...

Ryoka: *eyebrows raise* Kozue, please tell me you're not conspiring with them about this...

Kozue: Ahaha... ^^;;; Of course not...

Good idea.^^; I believe Akai'd do that during one of those times that Leika comes around to visit and since he's such a good friend, he sets them up.^^; I imagine Ryoka would be pissed about that...^^;;;

Akuma: Grand idea, Kozue-chan!^^

Leika: *sighs airily* Oh go, please. Stop corrupting my air. *waves a hand to him dismissively*

Akuma: *SNIGGERS* Get me pictures of his stricken face when you crawl all over him, ne Leika?XD

Leika: *sniffs* Fiend...

Ryoka would not be pleased... at least at first. ^^;;;

Kozue: ^^;; Let's go then.

Ryoka: =_=;; You're going drinking again...

Kozue: Ah... sou. ^^;

Ahahaha...^^;; Well, at least Leika doesn't really act all cheerful and air-head-like when that happens. She'd be a bit upset that Akai had to do something like that since I imagine Akai'd never say anything to either of them.^^;;

Akuma: Let's go!^^

Leika: *looking with concern to Kozue* Na Kozue-san, are you sure you should? I heard you have difficulties with alcohol...*snorts* And with this idiot I can't believe you're still well, really...

Akuma: Butt out, hag.

Leika: *snaps her fan open and fans herself leisurely* I'm sure you wish I would, Akuma...Sadly, I don't go for the arrogant, stupid type...

Akuma: *growls* Why you little--

Blind date, then? That'd annoy Ryoka even more... Kozue'd probably have to convince him to go. ^^;;;

Kozue: Ahaha... ^^;;; I'll be fine, Leiko-san, but thank you for your concern. *waves to Akuma* Come on, Akuma-san...

Ryoka: Please don't get so drunk you pass out... again. =_=;;

Kozue: I won't. ^^;;

Ryoka: *SIGH*

Yeah...^^;; And then to find that it's Leika...^^;;

Leika: *chuckles softly* It's Leika, honey. But whatever...

Akuma: Yeah, yeah...*glaring at Leika still, making to leave with Kozue*

I think Ryoka would make this face =_=;;

Kozue: Ah... gomen Leika-san. ^^;;; But as Ryoka has been known to say, I'm fond of honorifics... *shrugs and waves a bit* Ja ne...

Ryoka: Aa, ja matte ne... *sighs and shakes his head*

I need to take a scrub brush to my brain... ^^;;; I just had a terrible thought... that involved putting F!Kozue... with Akuma. O_o;; What is wrong with me?!

And Leika would just sigh and shake her head, making to down a glass of wine or something...^^;; She knows he isn't that fond of her.

Leika: See you then.^_~ Take care...

Akuma: *follows after Kozue*

Ah...^^;;; Ahahahaha...Oh dear...^^;; That's interesting, but...You know, I thought that before too. Just didn't say anything.^^;;

Well... Leika really isn't his type normally. ^^;;

Ryoka: *clears his throat and crosses his arms a bit* Mm...

Honto? Na, then I don't feel quite so bad... ^^;;; Know what's terrible? That now that I've thought of it, I can't get it out of my head... ^_^;;; Ahaha...

Yeah...^^;; All peppy and bouncy as she is...Na, but does Ryoka have a type really?

Leika: *fanning herself still, glancing at him, sighs* If you want to leave, you're free to do so, Ryoka-san...

Ahahaha...Really?^^; So...What do we do?^_^;

...actually, not really. ^^;;; He's kind of a rounded-off personality himself, so he can generally get along okay with pretty much anyone. ^^;;;

Ryoka: *shrugs, looking over at her* I have nowhere else to be. *eyebrows lift a bit* Unless you want me to go...

I don't know... ^^;;; I'm kind of scared, here... but I mean, that would deal with Kozue and Akuma, and I was pretty much resigned to Akuma always being alone... ^^;;;; Naaaaaa... what do you think?

*shrugs* I guess he could.^^;; Na..He'll get around to liking her...Oh my God, can't believe this is happening...^^;;

Leika: Hm? *looking at him, blinks then shrugs* Anything is fine...If you want to leave, leave...If you want to stay, you can stay. *chuckles softly, sighs, closing her fan before sitting down, crossing her legs* If you can stand my company...

I don't really see Akuma with ANYONE, really.^^;;

Does it freak you out a bit? 'Cause it kind of freaks me out... ^^;;;

Ryoka: *lips quirk* Why wouldn't I be able to stand your company, mm Leika?

*shrugs* Well, it's up to you... ^^;;

Ah...When you get over the weirdness of it...It could work.^^;; They both could be quite sexy together, actually...

Leika: *eyebrow quirk, smiling vaguely, shrugging gracefully* You haven't exactly been my greatest fan, Ryoka-san...

Uh...No? I guess...^^;;

They could. ^^ And I'm sure everyone will be quite amused... >^-^;;

Ryoka: *eyebrows raise, lips quirking vaguely* Nor have you been mine...

Okay. ^^;; ...I'm oddly relieved, here. ^^:;;

They would be yeah...^^ Naa...I can see them becoming Rai/Suzuki Ver. 2 but everyone knows they're together.^^; And no angsting, no definitely not...

Leika: *chuckles softly, slowly opening her fan again* More on the fact that I didn't really believe you would find me bearable, Ryoka-san. I just stayed away because I know you don't like me all too much...

Yeah, me too...^^; And I'm sure Akuma is too...

Very pretty, they would be... but yeah, no angsting, so secrets... no public sex. O_o;; Right?

Ryoka: Ah, you assume much, Leika-san. *chuckles vaguely, shrugging a bit* I'm pretty much neutral when it comes to you... you don't actually bother me all that much--especially when you pick on Akuma...

Akuma would have been like "WTF?!! NO!! >_<;;;"

Ahahahaha...^^;; I don't know...But I'm sure that we're surely not getting as much as Rai/Suzuki do in the sense of Ryoka and Leika, that as much I know.^^;; No one'd ever beat those two...

Leika: Sou ne...*chuckles softly, fanning herself slightly* That seems to be true. And really, Akuma gets on my nerves...

Yeah...^^;; Definitely not...

Aha... ^^;;; Yeah, Rai and Suzuki pretty much have everyone beat with their friskiness in general. ^^;

Ryoka: I think he gets on most people's nerves. *slight eyebrow quirk* Don't know how Kozue can stand him, honestly...

Yeah...^^;; And I'm sure Ryoka and Leika would have the sense not to do that in public or with people around, though sometimes they could be playful and adventurous too...

Leika: *shrugs* He must be special...

*gigglesnort* "Playful and adventurous" is a good way of putting it. ^^;;

Ryoka: Kozue? I'm sure he is... *shrugs a bit* Whatever...

Ahahaha...^^;; Naaaa...This could work, really.

Leika: *eyebrow quirk* Why whatever?

Are you sure, or are you trying to convince yourself of that? ^^;;

Ryoka: Mm? *shrugs* He's my best friend... I know he's special, ne? I guess I just don't think about it very much...

I'm sure...THings have worked out for other people ne?^^ Though that Akuma/Kozue thing was really a big no...Same with the Leika/Kozue...And the Rai/Tokiko...

Leika: *looking at him* Hm...You've been with him so much you hardly notice these things until something calls your attention to it ne?

*coughs* Naaaaa... Rai/Tokiko... ^^;;;;

Ryoka: *smiles vaguely* I guess... *shakes his head* Kozue is very special, I know, but really... when you're with a person as much as I'm with him, you start to forget things about them, strange as it sounds...

Exactly...^^;;;

Leika: *sighs, shrugging* That is true...Not that it makes things better...These people just end up underappreciated...

^^;;; Haaa...

Ryoka: *chuckles, shaking his head* Aa, and Kozue is nothing if not underappreciated... I should know better, really, with him being my best friend...

Leika: *sighs, shaking her head* Maybe you should...He might not be around forever you know...*uncrossing and crossing her legs, showing a bit of leg*

Ryoka: *eyebrows twitch a bit, clearing his throat vaguely* Aa, I know...

Leika: *nods* Good then...*glances at him, quirking an eyebrow* Are you all right, Ryoka-san?

Ryoka: *clears his throat a bit, shaking his head* I'm fine...

Leika: *looking at him still before shrugging leaning back against her chair, one hand falling over one knee absently, her fan hanging from it like a tassle* Very well then...

Ryoka: *swallows a bit, leaning back, glancing away a bit* Mmhm...

Leika: *sighs, looking at him* Ryoka-san, are you sure you're all right?

Ryoka: Mm? *glances back toward her, nodding again* Aa, I'm fine... *glances away again, shrugging a bit* I like your outfit...

Leika: *eyebrow quirk, glancing down at her clothes: pink halter-top and pencil-cut kneelength skirt with the wicked slit running up to mid-thigh, and chuckles softly, looking back at him, sighing, shaking her head* Thank you...A man hasn't really paid attention on my clothes before...

Ryoka: *shrugs* Tondemonai... it looks good on you, that's all... *lips quirk* What do men usually pay attention to, then, mm?

Leika: *sighs tragically* Does "nice rack" answer your question?

Ryoka: *chuckles softly, shaking his head* Maa ne... sometimes I wonder about men in general...

Leika: Bunch of morons they could be most of the time...*sighs, shaking her head* Just show them a bit of skin and they're on you like rabid dogs...Ne, Ryoka-san? *chuckles, smiling at him* Any insight as to why that is?

Ryoka: Hormones. *shrugs* I've been on both sides of the fence, so I kind of understand both... though I'll never be your typical guy...

Leika: *chuckles softly, leaning against her chair again, smiling vaguely* No one would say you were, Ryoka-san...

Ryoka: Mm? *lips quirk, looking over at her again* And why is that, Leika?

Leika: *closing her eyes slightly, shrugging, still smiling vaguely* You know how it's like to be both a man and a woman. That is unique ne? Very untypical...*adjusting the cross of her legs slightly*

Ryoka: Yes, well... *smiles vaguely, shaking his head* Not around Kaita-sei, ne? It's actually rather common around here...

Leika: Na...*chuckles, smiling vaguely* Maybe just around the capital too ne? Unless you have a country that breeds Starlights then...

Ryoka: *chuckles softly, shaking his head* At this rate around here, we might as well call ourselves a breeding program... when Kozue and I left back during Kokoro-hime's reign, it wasn't nearly so crowded around here...

Leika: *chuckles, sighs* It's true...The last time we were here, there was only until Seiya-tachi's kids and with Miru-san and her friends. Now, Hiromi-chan has children as well...*giggles softly*

Ryoka: Time flies, I suppose... *shakes his head* Maa, just that before we left the Palace wasn't a place for children, and now they're crawling everywhere...

Leika: *giggles softly* Kakyuu-hime just loves her Starlights, apparently...As well as their children...

Ryoka: I don't really blame her, I guess... everyone around here are good people... *shrugs* It just seems a little crowded at times...

Leika: *sighs, leaning back even more against her chair, drawing her arms lazily around her waist, fiddling with her fan a bit as she leans her head back against the headrest, closing her eyes* Mm...It's not so bad I suppose...Once you get used to it...

Ryoka: It seems very strange to me, really... *shrugs* But then I've been gone a long time, haven't I...

Leika: I believe you have been...*chuckles softly* I haven't even been born then...

Ryoka: I suppose that's true... *chuckles, shaking his head* Maa ne, now I feel old...

Leika: *chuckles softly, sighs, opening her eyes a fraction* Anything I could do to make you feel young again, Ryoka-san, hm? It was my fault anyway...

Ryoka: *eyebrows quirk* Well... you could stop calling me 'Ryoka-san', for one thing... I much prefer just my name...

Leika: Aa, sou ne...Just 'Ryoka' then...*smiles vaguely* Anything else?

Ryoka: *shrugs vaguely* Not really... unless you had any ideas?

Leika: Hm...*flips her fan open, her eyes on it, shrugging, smiling vaguely* I have no more ideas, but if there are any you come up with just let me know...

Ryoka: *chuckles softly* If I didn't know better, I'd almost think you were propositioning me...

Leika: Propositioning? *eyebrow quirks, looking at him, chuckles softly, smiling amusedly* Propositioning what, hm Ryoka?

Ryoka: *shakes his head, lips quirking a bit* Maa ne... nandemonai...

Leika: *chuckles, eyeing him amusedly before looking away, uncrossing and crossing her legs again* All right then...Since you didn't want to share...

Ryoka: *chuckles softly, glancing off out the window again, shrugging a bit*

Leika: *sighs, shaking her head, flipping her fan open silently, running her fingers absently over the little patterns apparent*

Ryoka: *sighs, shrugging again* Anyway...

Leika: Mm~hm...*smiling slightly, trailing her fingers against her fan*

Who was that Galaxy Angel in red? The blond, well-endowed one? Can't remember...

Ryoka: *glances back toward her* Bored?

I... have no idea what you're talking about. |_|;;

Leika: *looking up at him, shrugging* A bit, yes...

*giggles* Oh, sorry...^^;; Anyway...Ranpha (the galaxy angel in red) is the image of how I think Leika looks like. Maa ne, I'll just post the pictures later...

Ryoka: *shrugs* You can go find something more interesting to do... just because Akuma and Kozue abandoned you here doesn't mean you have to stay, ne?

Okay. ^^;; I've never seen the show you're talking about, I don't think... unless I'm being really, really forgetful. >^-^;;;

Leika: *smiles slightly, shrugging* Well...I don't really know what I could do at the moment so I'll just sit here a bit if you don't mind. Along with the fact that I would try and attempt conversation every now and then...*chuckles softly*

Well, I've posted Ranpha's pics...*shrugs, patpats* Maybe you haven't seen it.^^;;

Ryoka: *smiles vaguely, shrugging again* It's fine with me...

Oooo... pretty. ^^;

Leika: All right...*chuckles softly, takes a deep breath* Soooo...Where exactly have you been Ryoka ne? Before you and Kozue-san came back, where have you gone, if you don't mind me asking?

Ranpha? Oh she is, really.^^ Just a bit vain, but you can see that in how she dresses...^^;;

Ryoka: *looks at her for a moment and then clears his throat vaguely* We were all over the place, actually... we travelled for a long while. *shrugs* We ended up on Earth...

I kind of like her outfit, actually. ^^; Suits her...

Leika: Earth ne? Hm...*smiling vaguely, looking at her fan* We went there when the Elemental Moonstar strayed there and revived Hideto-oujisama...We had to help control it...

Maaa..."Stars Align..." spoiler.^^;;

Yeah, she's got the body for it.^^

Ryoka: Mmhm... *considers, eyebrows lifting a bit* Aa... Kozue and I weren't in Tokyo then, but I remember for a while I could feel other Lights... I'm told a few of the othes were there.

Yaaaay! >^-^

Leika: Aa...Seiya-tachi along with Kira and Aoi. *smiles vaguely* Very strange those times...

Ahahaha...^^;;

Ryoka: *glances out the window absently* Kozue wanted to go and see what was going on... but I wouldn't let him...

*patpat* Write more when you have a chance. ^^ No worries.

Leika: Aa...Hm...*looking down at her fan then, trailing her fingers against it again* So that was what was distracting Yaten then...She said she felt stars...The same, but different...

Maa...I hope I get to continue it really...^^;; Though I really do want to revise the whole thing...

Ryoka: *looks back toward her, eyebrows lifting a bit* Mm... I've heard that Yaten is Empathic... I suppose she would have been able to sense us even more than any of the others...

*shrugs* I wouldn't worry about it too much. ^^ There's not all that much that doesn't work in our new little universe... just say it was before Seiya and Yaten got together, ne?

Leika: Aa. *nods* If they hadn't been busy I'm sure they would have investigated it...*chuckles softly* You could have been found earlier...

That and I really want to put in the people left behind in Kinmoku during that time...Maaaa neeee...

Ryoka: Mm... *frowns a bit, then shakes his head* I'm rather glad we weren't found earlier, actually... and we weren't actually "found" anyway. *lips quirk* Kozue managed to convince me to help Taiga and Hikaru out while we were in Japan... hm. First time I'd used my senshi form in years and years...

Maaa... *patpat*

Leika: *looking at him, smiling vaguely, tilting her head a bit* How did it feel? Using that form again...

Yeah...So, Kozue and Ryoka could still transform?

Ryoka: *chuckles softly, shaking his head, glancing up at her again* Very strange... hadn't been female in all that time, either... but it's surprising, I hadn't forgotten anything...

*shrugs* Their Stars still exist, and they weren't around to be formally retired, so...

Leika: Maa ne...*chuckles softly, smiling still* Why do you think you would ever forget? What does it matter if it was so long...

I guess that is true...*nods*

Ryoka: I don't know... it'd just been a long time. I'd've thought I'd be rusty, but it all came back to me like I'd never stopped. *shrugs a bit* Don't know why I figured that...

Probably after they end up back on Kinmokusei, they'd send their Stars to rest, though. ^^;; They had a good run...

Leika: *smiles vaguely* Taiki once told me that you live by your stars...You are your stars, no matter what form you take in...

Yeah.^^ And they are back so...

Ryoka: Aa... it's true... *smiles faintly, looking out the window and up toward the sky* Even if I'm not a Starlight anymore, I can still feel Archer with me...

Exactly. ^^ But while they were on Earth, they were still technically active Starlights... I actually have a whole storyline partially-worked-out that took place while Hikaru and Taiga were on their honeymoon that dealt with Ryoka and Kozue... ^^;;;

Leika: Aa...*chuckles softly* It's good then ne? You feel protected...I believe it's like our bond with our land...

I know.^^ Whatever happened with that...

Ryoka: *smiles vaguely, looking back toward her* Aa, you're probably right...

Ahahaha... ^^;; The same thing that's happened to a lot of the scenes that I wanted to write, I think...

Leika: *sighs, smiling vaguely* So wherever you go it's as if you haven't really gone far...

Yeah, I guess...^^;

Ryoka: *nods a bit, smiling faintly* Aa... it is like that...

Maybe I can get some writing done over the next week, since I can't go back to work for a few days... ^^;

Leika: Mmhm...Ne, if you don't mind me asking, Ryoka. *looks at him* Did you ever Kinmoku-sei when you were away?

Yaaaaa~y!^^

Ryoka: *smile fades, looking down a bit, considering* I did sometimes... but for the most part I was happy where we were... thinking about home made me remember why I left--and being here now does, too... but I can't run forever, and it's not fair to Kozue to hide for the rest of our lives... *trails off, shaking his head, and sighs a bit* Maa. Told you a bit more than I originally intended, there...

^^;; No promises... I have to get a lot of rest, too. Actually, I should go soon so I can get some sleep... but I'll try. >^-^;;

Leika: *smiles vaguely* Thank you for being open with me though it wasn't intentional, Ryoka...

Okay.^^ Just what you can come up with and get some rest, yes!^^

Ryoka: Mm. *chuckles softly, shaking his head* Not used to actually talking to people, I think...

^^;; Okay...

Leika: Na? *chuckles softly, smiling at him* And you open up to me? I must be special...

Just get better ne?^^

Ryoka: *eyebrows quirk a bit* I guess you could say that...

I'll try. ^^; I hope I do, anyway...

Leika: *chuckles softly, shrugging a bit, leaning back against her chair, lowering her eyelids to look at the fan in her hand again* I wonder why...

YOu will get better.^^

Ryoka: *shrugs, smiling faintly* No one else has really seemed to care since we got back... not about me, anyway... *chuckles softly* Kozue fit right back in as if he never left...

Yare, yare. ^^;

Leika: *smiles, trailing fond fingers against her fan* I suppose he does that have that ability, yes...Though Ryoka, have you tried even talking to anyone?

*patpats* ^^

Ryoka: *smiles wryly, shaking his head a bit* I'm afraid I'm not as welcome here as Kozue is, Leika... *shrugs* And it's not really that anyone is unpleasant toward me, it's just that I'm not particularly comfortable here yet...

Leika: Aa, I suppose it will take time to get used to things here again...You two being gone so long. I believe Kozue-san is just very adaptable...*smiles*

Ryoka: That he is. *smiles vaguely* He's also more lovable, but that's another topic all together...

Leika: *eyebrow quirk, chuckling softly* Lovable ne? And where does that leave you, hm Ryoka? If he's lovable then what are you?

Ryoka: Aggrevating, if you were to take Satsu's oppinion. *shrugs a bit* Other than that, I don't really know...

Leika: *chuckles softly* Naaa...Satsu-san just needs to lighten up a bit, he does. Hm...Don't you have an inkling as to what other people say about you, Ryoka? *looking at him, resting her chin over her palm that's over her leg*

Ryoka: *lifts one eyebrow slightly* What do they say about me, mm? Why don't you enlighten me?

Leika: Hm...*looking off a bit, thinking* Ryoka...Always so distant, apart in a group of people...Always seeming to prefer to be alone...Is he lonely? Does he get lonely...

Ryoka: Ah, is that what people say... *smiles vaguely, shaking his head* At least it's not the squealing and giggling that most of the others seem to get...

Leika: *giggles softly* Ah, I didn't tell you. That was a very edited version.^_~

Ryoka: *lips quirk* Oh, I see... well what would it take for me to hear the unedited version, just out of curiosity?

Leika: *chuckles, shaking her head* Do you really want to hear it? I warn you, it's of the fan-girl type of version...*smiling*

Ryoka: *makes a face* You don't have to actually do impressions, you know, you could just tell me what they say...

Leika: *laughs softly* You don't like your fan girls do you, Ryoka?^_~

Ryoka: *dry look* Not particularly... and who the hell says I have fan girls, anyway? -_-;

Leika: You do!^^ All of you handsome men here at the palace do! *giggling softly* Oh it could get so funny sometimes...

Ryoka: =_=;; Why am I not surprised that you find it funny?

Leika: *giggling still, sighs* Because I'm not the one getting drooled at sighed over?^^

Ryoka: Yuh-huh. *eyes her* Well lucky you, then...

Leika: Maa ne, Ryoka...*chuckles softly* Come now, smile...Your fan girls aren't here are they? Smile...*smiles at him* Please?

Ryoka: *eyes her for another minute and then sighs, shaking his head, smiling vaguely* Yare, yare...

Leika: *chuckles softly, smiling still, leaning back against her chair and uncrossing her legs, having them cross instead on her ankles and tucking them to the side* Arigato...

Ryoka: Mmhm... *sighs softly, chuckling vaguely*

Leika: Fine now? *looking at him, smiling a bit*

Ryoka: *shrugs* Of course... *smiles faintly* Why wouldn't I be, mm?

Leika: *chuckles softly, smiling, lowering her eyelids lazily* Just wanted to ask...

Ryoka: *sighs, leaning back in his chair* Aa, I see...

Leika: *chuckles softly again, shaking her head, sighing* Sou ne...

Ryoka: *glances over at her again, eyebrows raising a bit* Anyway...

Leika: Yes...*sighs, smiling vaguely* Maa ne, this is a bit awkward isn't it?

Ryoka: *sighs and shakes his head vaguely* Aa, a little... I blame Akuma and Kozue for this...

Leika: *giggles softly* Maa...Don't you wonder about those two sometimes? Na, don't freak out. I was just thinking...*giggles again, shaking her head* They're spending so much time together...

Ryoka: I sometimes wonder how two such opposites could end up being friends... *eyebrows raise* Or were you meaning in another way?

Leika: *chuckles softly, sighing, nodding* Aa, I was thinking if they were involved in any special way...Though then again, with Akuma being the relationship-phobic person he is, it's very unlikely...

Ryoka: *chuckles, shaking his head vaguely* Maa ne... I wonder what Kozue would think if I asked him about that...

Leika: Naaa...*giggles* I wager he'd deny anything is going on...It is very unlikely really...

Ryoka: *sighs, chuckling amusedly* Might be worth asking, though, just to see the look on his face...

Leika: *giggling* Maa, I bet it'd be more entertaining to ask Akuma really...

Ryoka: *sniggersnort* That's a good point there...

Leika: *giggles and nods* I am going to ask him!XD And watch him throw a fit...

Ryoka: *chuckles and sighs* Na... Kozue would just turn bright red, probably... Akuma will completely freak out...

Leika: Exactly...*giggles* Freak out and practically go insane with trying to save himself from the embarrassment of being asked about something like that...

Ryoka: *shakes his head, chuckling amusedly* You have a dangerous sense of humor, Leika...

Leika: Hm? *smiling, looking at him, tilting her head a bit* Why do you say so?

Ryoka: Trouble causing. *sighs, shaking his head* There are very few people who would risk getting on Akuma's nerves...

Leika: Ah, that. *chuckles softly, amusedly* Well...THings are pretty monotonous back at Kaita-sei, with Kouma-sama working all the time, Washi being a wet blanket and Amaru-san being all calm and reserved...*shrugs, smiling* Akuma is always very entertaining.^^ Being here in Kinmokusei is always fun.

Ryoka: Aa, sou ne... *chuckles softly* I'd gotten the impression that you liked it here, yes...

Leika: Aa, I like it here very much.^^

If Leika ends up staying in Kinmokusei with Ryoka, there would be need for a new Vassal...^^;;

Ryoka: Aa... *smiles vaguely* It's very nice here... I'd almost forgotten, actually...

I love how we always have excuses to think up new characters. ^^;;;

Leika: Honto? *looking at him, smiling* Well, at least you remember now...

Right, right.^^ Though...No more Starlights for now ne?

Ryoka: Yes, well... *smiles vaguely, shaking his head* It had been a long time... and I do remember now...

I know, I know. ^^;;; You keep having to remind me... ahaha...

Leika: *smiles slightly* How does it feel to be home?

Just making sure.^^;

Ryoka: *closes his eyes, sighing softly* I missed it... it feels good to be home...

^_^;; Ahaha... I know...

Leika: *smiling* I'm happy for you then...

^^;;

Ryoka: Aa... *smiles vaguely, looking up at her again* Arigato...

Leika: Don't mention it...*smiling, giving him a little wink*

Ryoka: *chuckles softly, smiling a bit more* Aa...

Leika: *laughs softly, shaking her head, sing-song* I'm amusing, Ryo~ka...^^

Ryoka: Aa... *chuckles a bit more, sighing* I suppose you are...

Leika: Then I suppose we could do this again sometime? *smiling, laughing a bit still* Me hanging around to entertain you?^^ I rather like it, actually...

Ryoka: *smiles vaguely, eyebrows lifting a bit* I suppose... just hanging around, or did you want to actually do something, mm?

Leika: *laughs softly, winking at him* If you would like to go somewhere with me, you could just say so.^_~ I'd have no complaints.

Heehee, if they go out, bet Kozue'd be bugging Ryoka about it and all the while Ryoka's going to insist it wasn't a date.^^

Ryoka: *slight eyebrow quirk* Well, I suppose if you have no complaints, then I might drag you downtown or something... entertaining as you might be, I still tend to get rather restless just sitting around like this...

*gigglesnort* Yeah, and if Kozue kept bugging him, I'm sure Ryoka would end up asking about Akuma, just to shut him up. ^^;;;;

Leika: Right then. *smiling, shrugging easily, crossing her legs again, skirt once more revealing a bit of leg* Just tell me where and when...

Right, right.XD That'd be a nice scene, I think. Naaaa more scenes! Write yourselves dammit!

Ryoka: Mm. *clears his throat vaguely, shrugging a bit, closing his eyes* Any ideas on that? It doesn't really matter to me...

*gigglesnort* *patpat* I might write that one, too.

Eventually... ^^;;;;

Leika: Well, what kind of places do you prefer? Would you like it to be quite or loud...*trailing off in askance, looking at him curiously*

*sniggers* I'm so amused at Ryoka whenever Leika unconsciously shows some skin...

YEah...^^;;

Ryoka: *shrugs vaguely, opening his eyes a bit* I don't like loud places very much...

*gigglesnort* Naaa... I think he just doesn't want to stare. ^^;;;

Leika: Okay, so maybe we'll just go to one of those quiet cafes or something...*shrugs, smiling*

*sniggers* Leika wouldn't mind...Though of course it's very nice of him not to...

Ryoka: *smiles vaguely again, nodding a bit* Aa, sou... something like that would be fine with me...

*giggles* She's probably used to it. ^^; But I mean, Ryoka's not like that, so...

Leika: Sou ne...*giggling softly* So you can hear me talking nonsense and in turn entertain you.^^

Very much a gentleman, ne?^^

Ryoka: Sounds like a plan... *smiles vaguely, chuckling softly* You're not such bad company, you know...

He is. ^^

Leika: *laughing softly, smiling back* Why thank you.^^ Not many people think the way you do, you know.

*giggles* Leika would appreciate that, of course.^^

Ryoka: Really... *eyebrows quirk vaguely* And why would that be...

*giggles* Naaa... bet she gets her share of jerks, doesn't she? ^^;;

Leika: *smiling, sighing, leaning her head slightly against one curved hand* I usually come across as 'annoying' and 'stupid'...I don't blame them really...Given how enthusiastic I could be about some things...*chuckles softly*

Yeah.^^;; When she isn't on Vassal duty and she's in normal clothes, I'm sure she gets the usual comments "gifted" women get all the time.

Ryoka: Ah, I see... *chuckles softly, shaking his head* People tend to judge prematurely, I find...

Probably. ^^; Bet she does her share of slapping at times, too...

Leika: *sighs, smiling, shrugging* Sou ne...Demo, I don't really mind what they say...Well, so long as they don't comment on my breasts then I suppose I could ignore their comments...*rolling her eyes a bit*

Yeah...^^; So long as she's out of uniform...

Ryoka: Mm... you're far kinder than I am, then... *shakes his head* I have no patience for ignorant people...

*gigglesnort* 'Cause that's all they need is for one of the Vassals to slap people randomly. ^^;;;

Leika: *shrugs* As you said, they're ignorant. What do they know, really?

Right.^^; Besides, people would think twice about hitting on one of the Vassals I'm sure...

Ryoka: *eyebrows quirk a bit* Aa, that's a point... you still have a more pleasant life philosophy than I do, I fear...

That too. ^^;;

Leika: Mm...*sighs, looking* Does living so long like you do do that? Distort how they think of life?

Hahaah....Bet a lot of girls want to hit on Washi though...^^;;

Ryoka: *sighs, shaking his head, voice dropping a bit* Iie, it's not living this long that's made me this way... *trails off vaguely, then shrugs, smiling a bit* I must just be strange, I suppose...

Probably... ^^;; I would! *drools* *_*

Leika: *looking at him for a moment before just smiling again* I guess you're right...

*giggles, patpats* Wouldn't advice it though...^^;;

Ryoka: *smiles faintly, shaking his head* Never claimed to be ordinary...

I know, I know. ^^;;;

Leika: Well you aren't so you can't exactly claim you are.*chuckles softly, smiling at him*

Not that he'd hurt you or anything, but...It's pointless, really.^^; He'd just stare blankly and walk away...

Ryoka: *chuckles, smiling vaguely* You think I'm strange, then?

Yeah, I know. ^^;;

Leika: *laughs softly, shaking her head* Not strange, more like different really...^_~

*patpats* There are other bishounen you could hit on. *nods*

Ryoka: *sighs, smiling still* I think I can handle that, then...

There are. ^^ Lots of them! *gigglesnort*

Leika: Good. So that means that's one less person who thinks I'm an airhead.^^ *laughs softly*

See? You're okay, already.^^ *giggles*

Ryoka: *lips quirk* Maa... you're decievingly carefree, Leika, that's all...

I'm always okay. ^^;; ...okay, most of the time, anyway. ^^;

Leika: *shrugs* Maybe.^^ It's very conveninient sometimes though...You get to see people how people really are, since they act around you as they are and think you don't notice.^_~

Yeah...I know.^^; *patpats*

Ryoka: Aa, I suppose... *chuckles softly* Must be interesting...

^^

Leika: It is.^^ I don't recommend it for everyone though...*giggles softly*

Ryoka: No, I don't suppose someone like me would like it all that much... *shrugs vaguely* People bother me sometimes, I guess...

Leika: Well, they could be bothersome, yes...^^*chuckles softly* But I think you're pretty good at ignoring those you want to.

Ryoka: *chuckles, shaking his head* I ignore a lot of people, actually...

Leika: See? *chuckles again* Then you have no problem at all, most of the time.^^

Ryoka: Aa, sou ne... *sighs, smiling vaguely* Most of the time... sometimes people are too loud to ignore...

Leika: Aha...I know.^^;;

Ryoka: *eyebrows raise a bit* Maa ne... that wasn't a comment on you, Leika...

Leika: I know, I know...*sighs, shaking her head, smiling slightly* Just self-awareness and all that.^^

Ryoka: *chuckles softly, shaking his head* You're not all that loud, you know... I think you just tend to hang around people who are always quiet...

Leika: Well yeah, I guess...*shrugs, looking up at the ceiling in thought* There's Washi...Whom you have to pull teeth to get to speak...

Ryoka: Aa, exactly... *smiles faintly, chuckling softly again* You see?

Leika: Sou ne...*sighs* Maaaaa...*giggles softly* I guess I just like hearing myself when I get noisy.^^

Ryoka: *eyebrows quirk* Now there's an interesting statement...

^^;;; Ryoka, naaa...

Leika: Hm? *looking at him, eyeing him curiously* Why do you think so?

Okay, what's he thinking?^^;;

Ryoka: *clears his throat vaguely, shaking his head* Nevermind... it's not important...

^^;;; Nothing... ahaha... "I just like hearing myself when I get noisy"... *shakes her head*

Leika: *eyebrow quirk, then smiling vaguely, amusedly* Ryoka ne, you sure you don't want to share?

*sniggers, shakes her head* Maa ne, I think Leika's presence is getting to him...XD

Ryoka: Pretty sure... *chuckles vaguely, shaking his head* Don't worry about it.

^_^;;; I think so...

Leika: *shrugs, but smiling slightly still* All right...

*sniggers* Guess Leika's getting through after all...

Ryoka: *shakes his head again, sighing* Maa ne...

Apparently. ^^;;;

Leika: *humming softly, sighing, reaching behind her to have her long hair settle over one shoulder, working her fingers idly over the strands, closing her eyes as she works*

Maaa neee...^^;;

Ryoka: *sighs softly, looking off out the window again*

*patpat* ^^;

Leika: *opening her eyes a bit as she examines her hair, smiling vaguely* All right there, Ryoka?

What's Ryoka thinking right now anyway?

Ryoka: *smiles faintly, still looking out the window* Aa... I'm fine, Leika...

Probably that she's not the kind of girl he usually would take an interest in. ^^;;; Wondering why he doesn't find her annoying...

Leika: *chuckles softly, winding a strand of hair around one finger* Anything interesting to see outside that window?

He's taking an interest on her already?^^ *giggles* Maa, I think I'm far too amused with the two of them...^^;

Ryoka: *shrugs, smiling vaguely* Just the sky... nothing I haven't seen before...

Well... even if he hasn't exactly taken an interest in her, it's hard not to notice her, ne? ^^ She's very pretty, so...

Leika: I see...*chuckling softly, flipping her hair over her shoulder* Sometimes looking at familiar things could be soothing, I suppose...If that is your purpose of doing that...I could only guess as to why..

She is that.^^ And very charming, if she wanted to be...

Ryoka: It's still strange to see Konmoku's sky... *smiles faintly, shaking his head* I'm so used to seeing the sky and knowing it's Earth's...

Yup. ^^ Exactly. ^_~

Leika: *smiles vaguely, watching him* The stars ne? Nothing like those on Earth...

Well...Leika thinks Ryoka's handsome, really...And well enough to get along with....*shrugs*

Ryoka: I missed the stars here... *smiling vaguely still, eyes on the sky* I missed being able to see Archer and Piper when I looked up...

They'll be okay. ^^

Leika: And now you can see them again...*smiling, watching him almost fondly*

Yeah.^^

Ryoka: Aa... *sighs, closing his eyes* I didn't even realize how much I missed it here until I came back...

^^ People will be pretty amused, won't they? ^^;;

Leika: Are you happy that you came back then? *smiling, tilting her head a bit to the side*

I'm sure.^^; No one never saw this coming I bet. I mean, Leika and Ryoka?^^;; Akai's going to be so pleased with himself though...^^; What would Kozue say you think?

Ryoka: *chuckles softly, closing his eyes* I suppose...

Naaaa... I don't know how Kozue's going to react to this, actually. ^^;;;

Leika: That's good then.^^ *smiling* Welcome back home, Ryoka...

Yeah, between being in love with Ryoka and being also his best friend, I'm sure there'd be conflicting thoughts ne?

Ryoka: Aa... *smiles vaguely, looking back toward her* Arigato...

Definitely. ^^; Naa... I sense a lot of angst for Kozue in the future. At least until he finds someone himself, ne? I can see him going out drinking with Akuma even more, just to blur the edges a bit, and everyone would worry...

Leika: *chuckling softly, winking* It's nothing.^_~

Yeah, it'll get to the point where even Akuma is worrying, I'm sure...*sighs, huggles Kozue*

Ryoka: *chuckles, shaking his head vaguely* So cheerful...

Naaa... and then Akuma'll just stop going out drinking with him all together, and that's probably the point when everyone will start really worrying...

Leika: Maa ne, and what's to be sad about anyway ne?^^

I think Akuma would be the one to snap him out of it or just at least drive the point across that he shouldn't wallow, since he'd find out about Kozue's love for Ryoka ne? Na...Then there's always Ayame...

Ryoka: Aa, I suppose. *smiles, chuckling* If only everyone had the same outlook...

Na, probably. ^^;; The whole friendship with Kozue and Akuma kind of baffles me, really... and yeah, Ayame... *sighs* The two of them have similar problems, don't they?

Leika: *smiling* Na, but you choose how you want to see things ne?^^ It really just depends on the person if they want to be happy...Well, at least that's what I believe anyway.

*sniggers* Their friendship seems a bit strange and it can't really be avoided that you ask if there may be something more, for some reason...^^;; Maybe Kozue could just wander into the Healers' Ward one day since he's feeling so out of it and Ayame could check him up...

Ryoka: You're probably right about that, actually... *smiles vaguely* But a lot of people don't see it that way, unfortunately...

Yeah, well... considering that everyone knows Kozue isn't as comfy in his male form, and that Akuma doesn't really hang out with people... ^^;;; Sou ne... that could work. ^^; I'd forgotten that Ayame works up with the Healers...

Leika: *shrugs* That's just how people are, really...Sometimes they forget that everything they do results from a choice.

Na, Akuma hangs out with people...It just doesn't show that much since we hardly have any Knights' scenes.&^^; He's usually with Ren or Akai, sometimes Endo and Kitto or Rui if chance presents itself...*shrugs* Ayame could diagnose that he was depressed and would suddenly just sit down and ask him if he wanted to talk about it.^^;

Ryoka: *shakes his head* Aa... and I'm sad to say that I'm one of them sometimes...

*gigglesnort* Does he? I'd gotten the impression that he was pretty anti-social... ^^;;; Sou ne... I think Ayame would be good for him... na, and definitely Kozue would be good for her. ^^; It just might be hard to get them together like that, given that they're both kind of hurting still...

Leika: *smiling* You don't have to be, but of course that's your choice, as I sort of mentioned.

*gigglesnorts* Well, Akuma could be anti-social sometimes, especially with certain people so...^^;; I think they'd be really good friends first for some time ne? Just talking things out between them and healing along with each other...

Ryoka: Aa, I know, I know... *sighs, shaking his head*

They probably would be good friends for a while... love definitely isn't something that always happens right away. *gigglesnort* Though you wouldn't know it, looking over at Kenta and Tsubame... ^^;;;

Leika: Maa ne...*sighs, shaking her head* This is depressing, Ryoka. Do you want to talk about this some more?

Yeah...^^;; Really weirded out at those two...At least Kozue and Ayame would have some time ne?

Ryoka: *smiles vaguely over to her, shaking his head a bit* We can change the subject, if this is depressing you, Leika...

Ahaha... yeah, well, they're the only ones who've ever done that... ^^;;; And Kozue and Ayame are people who seem like they would need some time, ne?

Leika: *sighs, shaking her head* Gomen...I just find that I can't stand such talk. I don't really like wallowing you see...

Yeah...They're very unique...^^;; Time and good company. And they have that in each other, I believe.^^

Ryoka: *smiles softly* Aa... gomen... *chuckles, sighing* Moving on, then...

Exactly. ^^ And that's what they need, ne? Just someone to talk to, someone who understands...

Leika: Arigato.^^ Naa...Then now what?

Yup.^^ And then the next thing they know they're in love again...With each other.^^ But it'd take some time...

Ryoka: *chuckles softly, chrugging a bit* Well, what do you feel like talking about?

It would definitely take some time... but everything would work out in the end. ^^

Leika: Maaa...I don't know.^^ *giggles softly* Oh, well there's this cosplay event some of the kids and Washi and I are going to go to. Could I expect you to come and just look around for a while with us?^^

Yeah...Though I'm guessing it'd have a bit of angst since I'm sure neither of them would want to jeoperdize their friendship, blablabla...^^';

Ryoka: *eyebrows quirk* A cosplaying event... *dubious look* Well... I don't know... would I have to dress up, or do you want me just to go with you?

Gah. =_=;; Hell, the two of them are just going to be angst, angst and more angst for a while...

Leika: *giggling* Naa...You don't have to dress up though I wouldn't stop you if you wanted.^^ Just come with us ne? Well that is if it's all right...

*patpats* Naaa, you know it's never going to go away.^^;;

Ryoka: So it's up to me, is it... *chuckles softly, shaking his head* I suppose I could...

I know, I know. *sighs*

Leika: Great!^^ It'll be fun! Well, I know you have an aversion to people sometimes, but...Na!^^ *giggles* Okay, I think I got too happy I can't think straight.^^;

Just think that Ryoka's going off to the cosplay even with Leika-tachi now.^^ *giggles*

Ryoka: *shakes his head, chuckling softly* Maa ne... is it really so great to have me along?

I don't think cosplaying is something he ever would have thought about doing before. ^^;;

Leika: I think it is.^^ And it'd help you get to know some of the kids and Sada-kun and Washi a bit more too.^^

Well...He isn't really cosplaying.^^; He's just tagging along...

Ryoka: I suppose... *sighs, smiling vaguely* I don't really know anyone around here anymore, do I?

And how long do you think that'll last, between Leika and Kirei? ^^;;;

Leika: I don't think so.^^ *giggles* So you'll come? You'll really come?

Ahahaha...I can imagine them coercing him into a uniform from Utena too.^^;; Touga's really...

Ryoka: *sighs, chuckling vaguely, and waves one hand a bit* Aa, I will if you really want me to, Leika...

Probably. ^o^ He'd look awesome in Touga's uniform... XD

Leika: I do, I do!^^ *nodding and almost bouncing on her seat*

He would...Maaa...Girls'd drool all over the bishounen in the group I'm sure...^^

Ryoka: Yare, yare... *chuckles softly, amusedly* Alright then...

I bet girls would drool all over Ryoka even if he wasn't in costume. ^^;;;

Leika: *squeals then giggles* I'd glomp you, but I'm way over here so I'd just squeal if you don't mind.^^

Yeah...^^;; Don't need a uniform to make Ryoka look droolable...The same goes for the rest of the guys around here...

Ryoka: *chuckles softly, rolling his eyes a bit* Okay, okay... go ahead, if you want...

*giggles* Yup. Lots of bishounen all over the place. ^^;;

Leika: *SQUEALS* >^-^<

No one's complaining! *giggles* Na, and really, I find it adorable that Ryoka's just letting Leika squeal right now...

Ryoka: *sighs, watching her amusedly* Maa ne...

How come? ^^;;;

Leika: *giggling before sighing and just smiling again* Arigato~~ >^-^<

Why I find it adorable?^^; I don't know...I just do...

Ryoka: *shakes his head, chuckling softly* Tondemonai, I guess...

*giggles* Na, okay. ^^

Leika: I'll go tell Kirei-chan and the others later.^^

^^;;

Ryoka: Sure... *shakes his head* This should be interesting, I think...

My computer is doing something wonky. =_=;;;

Leika: *giggles softly* I think so too.^^ Hope it becomes fun for you too.

What happened?

Ryoka: *chuckles amusedly* Aa... it should be, at least a little bit...

It kept telling me that I didn't have a LAN connection. O_o;; But I was on the Internet when it was telling me that...

Leika: *smiles* I really hope you have fun.^^ It would have been a pointless trip if you didn't.

That is weird...^^;;

Ryoka: *smiles vaguely* I'll try, ne?

*shrugs* I ended up having to reset it to a save point, and now it's all fine. ^^;;;

Leika: Sou.^^ But also, if we get too much for you, you're welcome to leave. It's okay, really.^^;

At least it's all right now.^^

Ryoka: *chuckles, shaking his head* And wander around a cosplay event by myself? No thanks... I'll probably get lost and end up being mobbed and dragged home by a complete stranger...

Yeah. ^^; Kind of makes me wonder, though... I should call and see how much it would cost to just get a system diagnostic run, to see if there's anything wrong with it. ^^;;

Leika: Maaa...^^; That is true. Weirdos wander, no matter how harmless places like that seem to be. *giggles* And it doesn't help that you're a bishounen even without the costume...^^

Do what you deem best.^^

Ryoka: *very slight eyebrow tick* Bishounen... -_-;;

And now my sound system keeps cutting out. *eyes computer warily*

Leika: *giggles* Maa neee....^^ All right, no more saying that word around you then. Is devastatingly handsome all right?^^ *giggles*

Maaa...There really must be something wrong...^^;;

Ryoka: Gods... *SIGHS, eyeing her a bit* I just can't escape it, can I?

I keep half-expecting it to just cough up smoke and shower me with sparks or something. O_o;; I'm definitely going to see about getting it checked out as soon as I can...

Leika: Maa...*giggles, sighing, shaking her head* Maybe it would if you kept a bag over your head or something.^^

Okay...^^;;

Ryoka: *eyebrow tick again* I don't think I like that idea... =_=;

^^;;;

Leika: *SIGHS* Maa ne, does it really bother you that much?

*patpats* ^^;

Ryoka: *sighs and shakes his head* I don't like people ogling me... or drooling, or squealing over me, if you must know. It just gets on my nerves very easily...

I'm fine. ^^ Just kind of worried about my computer... *huggles computer*

Leika: Na...Then maybe you shouldn't have agreed to coming to the cosplay.^^;;

I know.^^

Ryoka: Well... *shrugs vaguely, sighing and smiling faintly* You invited me, ne? And with you so excited about the prospect of my going, how could I say no?

All will be well, I think. ^^;

Leika: Maaa...^^; But really ne Ryoka? If it gets too much, just tell me and I'd escort you home or something.^^;;

It will, it will.^_~ *patpats*

Ryoka: Aa... *chuckles softly* Yare, yare... believe me, if I've had enough, you'll know it...

^^;;

Leika: *giggles softly* I guess...I'll just watch for frequent eyebrow ticking then.^^ Though I suppose you and Washi would have the same tolerance for squealing girls and the like so I'd probably end up taking you both away.

Ryoka: Aa, Washi isn't the kind to deal with that sort of thing either, ne? *lips quirk* You might have your hands full then...

Leika: *shrugs* Na, I'm used to it.^^ I'll be fine.^_~ It almost always gets like that that when I manage to drag him out to go shopping with me back at Kaita-sei so I'm pretty much used to babysitting muttering guys who don't like getting ogled. *chuckles softly*

Maaa...I was looking for more Ranpha pictures and I stumbled on a site with rather revealing pictures...^^;;; And all I was thinking was "God...Ryoka is not going to look at Leika the same ever again if he saw her like that...^^;;;"

Ryoka: Babysitting, huh? *sighs and shakes his head* You might regret inviting me along, Leika, I warn you now...

*SNIGGERCOUGH* Naaaa... trying to curb my morbid curiosity. ^_^;;; Ryoka would freak out, I can imagine...

Leika: *chuckles softly* I'll take my chances, Ryoka.^^

*sniggers* Freak out huh? Like how?XD

Ryoka: *shrugs, chuckling* Aa, so I gathered...

*gigglesnort* Well... he clears his throat and averts his gaze when Leika just shifts around a bit in her chair, so... ^^;;;

Leika: I'll be a-okay.^_~

*sniggers* Bet he'd just blush red in the face and just not look at her at all.^^;; Next time he sees her he'd be blushing again...

Ryoka: I don't doubt that... *smiling vaguely*

*sniggersnort* Oh probably... he'd never be able to look at her again. ^^;;;

Leika: *giggles* Very perceptive you are.^^

Naa...Leika'd make him look at her.^^;;

Ryoka: Oh am I? *chuckles softly* Why do you think that?

And how would she do that? ^^;;;

Leika: *shrugs* I just think you are.^^

Come up to him and grab his chin, if anything else.^^;; Then she'd ask him what was bothering him and why he wouldn't look at her...

Ryoka: *eyebrows quirk slightly* Okay then, whatever you say...

*gigglesnort* Might be interesting just to see him flounder for a good excuse... ^^;;

Leika: *chuckles, sighs* Maa nee...I just say the most random things sometimes.^^;;

It would make for an interesting scene actually.^^;; Wonder what he'd say...

Ryoka: You do... but it's actually quite amusing. *smiling vaguely again*

*sniggers* Because "I accidentally found naked pictures of you on the Internet!" or something similar just doesn't make a good impression. ^^;;; I don't know what he'd say, honestly...

Leika: Amusing huh? *chuckles, shaking her head* If you say so.^^

Oh that wouldn't go too well I think...^^;; Leika'd throw a fit...Maa ne! NOw I really want that scene written! Ryoka seeing an eyeful of Leika and later trying to explain why he can't look at her!

Ryoka: Aa... *sighs, smiling vaguely*

*giggles* It'd be funny... all his calmness would go out the window, and he'd probably just end up fleeing entirely. ^^;;;

Leika: *giggles* Why do you find me amusing hm?^^

I can just imagine.^^;; I guess Ryoka hasn't really been intimate with anyone in a long time has he?

Ryoka: *shrugs, smiling still* I'm not really sure myself, actually...

A very long time. ^^;;; But he has good reason for it... I've finally figured out why he and Kozue left Kinmokusei to begin with! ^_^;;

Leika: *giggles* I guess I'm just amusing. That's it.^_~

Share!!^^

Ryoka: Aa, I suppose that must be it... *chuckles softlym sighing a bit*

Okay! *clears throat* So, way back when Archer and Piper were created, there was originally a third Star as part of their team; Sleeper. The role of Sailor Star Sleeper went to a young woman by the name of Misha Kou; she was very quiet and pleasant and did things in a slow, calm way. She was best friends with Kozue, and Ryoka was in love with her. Then one day, during a youma attack, she was killed, along with a handful of civillians, some of them children. That was the day that Ryoka lost his faith in the Starlights calling; if he could protect innocents, if he couldn't protect children, if he couldn't protect the person he loved, then what was the point? He left Kinmoku and swore he would never go back--Kozue went with him, not because he had lost his own faith, but because Ryoka was his close friend, and he didn't want him to be alone.

...that's the short version. I totally need to write that into an actual fic. ^^;;;

Leika: Sou~ ne.^_~ *giggling, sighs* Naaaaa....

I see...There you go, another star.^^;; Ahahaha...We would be reviving all these stars soon enough once we couldn't help ourselves anymore.^^;; Maaaaa, poor Ryoka. So that was why he's all disillusioned ne? When did Kozue realize that s/he loved Ryoka anyway?

Ryoka: *chuckles softly, smiling* Aa...

But she's not around right now, so it doesn't count! XP lol. Anyway, Ryoka pretty much hasn't been with anyone since then... and Kozue... mm. *shrugs* Kozue would have known she loved Ryoka back then too, ne? Or she wouldn't have chosen her male form...

Naaaaa... Kozue's been hiding that for a long time, hasn't he?

Leika: And once more we stop...^^; Maa ne, I guess we do need that trip downtown. And that cosplay event...

We're they together? *blinks*

It must be painful for Kozue once Leika and Ryoka end up being together. Imagine, Kozue keeping it so long and with being with Ryoka so long and then Leika just comes in, with no effort at all and without even doing much, and he falls for her. *shakes her head* Big ouch...Kozue would probably asking her/himself "What did Leika have that I didn't?"

Ryoka: Aa, we just keep trailing off, don't we? *sighs and shakes his head* Maa ne...

I haven't decided if they were actually together or not. *pondering* Either way, he was in love with her, and she died so it would have hurt... naa, I don't know. ^^;;;

Yeah... mou. ;__; Kozue is going to have a lot of angst in the future. Lots and lots. *sighs* But at the same time, Ryoka sees Kozue as his best friend, and has for centuries... it'd be kind of hard to get past that, wouldn't it?

Leika: We just need to do more things together I guess. To stop them a bit.^^

Whatever happens then.^^

There is that. But still of course, Kozue would still be thinking it. *sighs*

Ryoka: More things together, mm? *smiles vaguely* Sou ne, I suppose you're right...

Unfortunately, yeah... Kozue would still be thinking it. Hence him going out drinking more often, and wandering up to Healers... he is going to make a lot of people worry about him. ;_;

Leika: Well...That is if it's all right with you of course! I mean, you don't have to if you don't want to, Ryoka.^^;;

He will...*sighs*

Maaa...When Ryoka starts to feel for Leika, I'd imagine he'd find it very strange. Leika is so different from the one he loved before...

Ryoka: *smiles vaguely* It's fine with me...

Yeah, Leika and Misha are like... polar opposites. ^^;;; It would be a bit wierd...

Leika: Okay then...*pauses for a bit* You sure?^^; You're just not putting up with me?

Bet MIku and Yuri find it endlessly amusing.^^;

Ryoka: *eyebrows lift slightly* I'm not the kind of person who just puts up with people to humor them...

Probably. ^^;; They'd've known Misha, too, though... na, think they know how Kozue feels about Ryoka?

Leika: *nods slowly* Aa...I guess not...Maaa...Okay then.^^

*shrugs* I don't know. Depends on how much Kozue was showing it at the time or if he gives any indication he did while he was off trying to drown his sorrows...

Ryoka: *chuckles softly, smiling vaguely again*

He probably would... I mean, even before Ryoka and Leika are together, he's confessing to Akuma, ne? So most likely he would mutter about it while he was drinking after that...

Leika: I really am happy we got to talk a bit, Ryoka.^^

I guess...Na, so probably some people would know ne?^^;; Maaaa...Ryoka and Kozue really remind me a bit of how Kira and Aoi were before...

Ryoka: Aa... it was nice. *smiles a bit more*

Probably... na, they do don't they? ^^;; Except they're not going to be together in the end...

Leika: It was ne?^^ *sighs, shaking her head* Never thought it'd happen that I'd get to talk to you like that.

Yeah...I guess it helped that Kira was so overprotective and caring of Aoi, really. If he wasn't, I bet this would have happened too...*sighs* Except that Aoi wouldn't have gone drinking...She would just end up pining for him...

Ryoka: *eyebrows quirk slightly* You were thinking about talking to me like this before?

Ryoka is protective in regards to Kozue, but not so much as Kira was with Aoi... besides which, Ryoka trusts that Kozue can take care of himself. And as for the drinking... I think maybe Akuma could be partially blamed for that. ^^;; He dragged Kozue out once, and it dulled what he was feeling, so then the next time he's hurting, he heads out to dull it all again...

Leika: *shrugs* It's crossed my mind a couple of times. I was curious, I guess.^^ Can't really blame me. I keep on seeing you and you're almost always alone or else seemingly apart from the crowd.

Naaa...Well, Kira was very attached to Aoi and his devotion to her was really something else wasn't it?^^;; And yeah, Akuma...Hahaha...I believe that wasn't his intention though so we couldn't really blame him all that much...^^;; Ryoka'd be really upset once Kozue goes on and starts to drink like that...

Ryoka: Ah, I see... *smiles vaguely* I didn't realize I always seem to be an outsider...

Ryoka would probably snap at Akuma about it, actually... and then Kozue would tell him to back the hell off, and that would pretty much shock everyone. *sighs* This is going to be very hard on both of them...

Leika: Not an outsider. *chuckles softly, smiling* You just...It was like you didn't really want to be there...Or something...^^;

Yeah...Maaa, that'd shock everyone, including Ryoka himself and Akuma too, though he'd have an inkling as to what the hell was going on...And then Kozue'd pass out and he's off to spend the night over at the Healers' I think...Too much alcohol...Far too much alcohol...

Ryoka: Well... I'm not a very social person, I suppose...

Yeah... everyone would just worry about him until Ayame managed to bring him out of it. And he would probably spend all of his time either drinking or holed up in his room...

Leika: Sou ne...I guess that's why I wanted to talk to you. *shrugs, smiling* Just to see if I could...

Maaaa...If he wasn't immortal, I'd think he'd end up killing himself with this depression he's going to put himself through. Bet Ayame just takes it upon herself to just go into his room and probably slap him out of it...

Ryoka: *eyebrows raise* Just because I'm not very social doesn't mean I don't talk to people...

Yeah, well... he'll need the slap anyway. Ayame would have to just smack him out of it, 'cuase I don't really see any other way for him to move on. ^^;;;

Leika: Maaaa! I'll just shut up!^^;; Forget I said anything! Maaa neee...I'm so freaking scatterbrained I surprise myself sometimes...*SIGHS, pouts a bit, looking to the side* Mattaku...

Smack him and yell at him.^^; Go Ayame...It'd be kind of cute and funny...Petite, little Ayame smacking Kozue to next week...

Ryoka: *eyebrows jump* Maa... Leika, ne... I didn't mean to say anything to upset you there...

It would be kind of cute... except Kozue would probably end up crying. ^^;;; And then there would be a long time where Ayame sat with him and he cried a bit, and then they talked about things...

Leika: Maa, I'm not upset, Ryoka. Don't worry about it. *sighs, shaking her head, waving it away* Just my powers of articulation totally escaping me at the moment. It happens and it just irritates me sometimes that's all...

Yeah...She'd probably spend the night, just holding him and making sure he slept.*sighs* But the imagery is really cute in my head, no matter how serious the circumstance.^^;; Ayame is really small, like...she's just around 4'10' or something...^^;;

Ryoka: You sure? *looks at her speculatively* You seemed a bit upset there, really...

It is cute, yes... and Kozue is heavily influenced by Yukito from CCS--he's maybe 5'1' or so, and very delicate looking and feminine. I think the two of them will be very cute together, actually...

Leika: I'm fine, I'm fine.^^ Don't worry. Really.

I think they will be.^^ Bet Akuma makes fun of them both sometimes when they're together.."I could just fit you two into a dollhouse! Go on and play house already!XD"

Ryoka: Alright, alright... *shrugs, smiling vaguely* If you say so...

Probably. ^^;; Sounds like Akuma...

Leika: Maa ne, are you a worrier Ryoka? *chuckles softly, smiling amusedly*

Yeah...And Ayame'd just yell at him to mind his own business...^^;;

Ryoka: *shrugs vaguely* A bit, I guess...

*sniggers* Little Ayame yelling at Akuma... ^^;; And Kozue would just sweatdrop, probably...

Leika: *chuckles softly, amusedly* Arigato ne.^_~

Yeah...^^;; And Akuma'd just laugh and hold her by the head if she tries to get her hands on him...^^;; Little Ayame could be quite violent if you rile her up...Explains her slapping Kozue...

Ryoka: Mmhm. *chuckles a bit, shaking his head* Tongemonai, I suppose...

*gigglesnort* Maaaa... Ayame and Kozue are pretty much opposites, too, aren't they? ^^;;;

Leika: It's something, Ryoka. It's something.^^ *chuckles softly*

They are.^^;; I could just imagine that during those times that Akuma laughs in her face and holds her head like that, he'd be trying to look for a safe hiding place because he knows it's going to be bad...^^;;

Ryoka: *smiles vaguely* Is it really...

*sniggers* Yeah, Kozue's going "take cover!!" and Akuma just chortling away... ^^;;;

Leika: Mmhm.^^ It's very nice of you.

Yeah...^^;; Akuma laughs in the face of danger. Maaa...Yaten's temper on Ayame there.^^;

Ryoka: *shakes his head, chuckling softly, and leans back in his chair* Yare, yare...

Oh yeah... I'd almost forgotten that Ayame is Yaten's grandaughter. ^^;;;

Leika: *chuckling* I must be very effective.^^ I've made you smile so many times today.

She is.^^;; She's also inherited her height...Though I suppose she's smaller...

Ryoka: Aa... *sighs, looking over at her again* Strange, I think... I haven't smiled this much since we got back to Kinmokusei...

*giggles* Maaa... what's Ayame look like, aside from being short?

Leika: *chuckles* Guess you needed something else aside from Kinmokusei. A Kaitaseian flavor maybe...^^

Well...She has long, long black hair that reaches to the small of her back and very vivid, very wide blue eyes.^^ She's petite as i said, almost child-like in stature really, except she's got curves of course.

Ryoka: I suppose... *chuckles softly* Even after being gone for so long, I apparently yearn for something other than my homeland...

Oooh. She sounds pretty. ^^ I don't know why, but I always kind of pictured her with short hair... hm. *shrugs*

Leika: *giggles softly* I suppose you haven't really had Kaitaseian anything have you?^^

She's very pretty, very cute.^^ A complete contrast to her sister Aki, who's tall and athletic, yeah...

Ryoka: *eyebrows quirk, clearing his throat absently* Define "had"...

Yeah, you were saying they didn't get along very well... do Aki and Kei have black hair, too?

Leika: *shrugs* Tasted, smelled, seen, felt, touched? Well okay, so you've seen and heard me but I'm not talking about people.

*SNIGGERS* I guess we can't shake the innuendo now from Ryoka can we?XD Maaaa...

Kei has black hair. Aki is blond and her hair is like Kira's, a combination of curly and wavy.

Ryoka: There are a couple of resteraunts here that serve Kaita-seian food. *shrugs* Other than that, and talking to you, not really... though I hear one of the trainees--Minori, I think?--I hear she's from Kaita as well...

He's doomed too. ^^;;;

Ah. I thought I remembered Aki having blond hair. ^^;

Leika: Aa and it still puzzles us really, how powerful Weaver's star was that it touched on Minori-chan when she was just half-Kinmokuseian...

*sniggers* Bet he'd like the taste of that Kaitaseian he was thinking about initially...XD

She does.^^

Ryoka: But she is part Kinmokuseian... *smiles vaguely* Fate is fate is fate... a universe couldn't sepparate one of Kinmoku's Stars from the person it wants...

*SNIGGERCOUGH* Naaaaaa... I think he would. XD

Leika: *chuckles, looking at him* I guess I can't argue with a star ne?

He would.XD Naaaa...and what's interesting about all this is that Leika doesn't seem to really see what she's doing to him.^^ *giggles* She knows she's affecting him, but she doesn't know it's almost to the point of distraction...

Ryoka: *smiles softly* Aa... I learned that a long time ago...

He really is keeping it together pretty well, though. ^^;; He only slips up every now and then...

Leika: *smiling back at him* You really should smile more often you know, Ryoka? It agrees with you...

He must be starting to get intrigued though. Why is she affecting me like this? What is she doing to me? Why am I just letting her?

Ryoka: *shakes his head vaguely, chuckling softly* I suppose I don't smile very often, do I...

I think he is... but at the same time, he's not sure what he should do about it. ^^;

Leika: From what I've seen, no you don't. *chuckles softly*

Well what could he do really?^^;; He can't just grab Leika and ask her or something ne?

Ryoka: Aa... *shrugs* Guess I just don't feel like I have much to smile about...

Exactly. ^^;;;

Leika: Again, it's your choice, but you don't have to listen to what I say.^^

So he'd just hang out with her for a while...See what else happens...*giggles*

Ryoka: I know... *sighs vaguely* I really should try to smile more... it feels good to smile, actually...

Yup. ^^ He's pretty intrigued I think.

Leika: Aa, it does...*giggling softly*

Well wouldn't you? He's having thoughts he probably hardly ever thought before and it's because of her.^^

Ryoka: *chuckles softly* Aa... it does...

Pretty much. ^^;;

Leika: *giggles* Sou ne.^_~

Yeah.^^; Thoughts of tasting something other than food must not be something Ryoka thought of before.

Ryoka: *sighs, smiling vaguely* Aa...

I told you... it's been a long time... ^^;;;

Leika: *laughs softly* And once more we trail off...^^

Aa...And Leika's very sexy and very pretty, and very charming so he's just doomed really.^^;;

Ryoka: *chuckles softly* That seems to be the case, yes...

Doomed... definitely. ^^;

Leika: Maa neee...But it's so much fun talking to you, really.^^

I'm sure he won't mind after a while...^^;

Ryoka: You really think so, don't you? *shakes his head* Maa ne... and here I thought I was boring...

Of course he won't. ^^;

Leika: Naaa...And why do you think that hm?^^

Yeah.^^;

Ryoka: *shrugs vaguely* I just did...

^^;;

Leika: Hm...Someday I hope you'd give me explanations as to why you think these things of me.^^ *chuckles softly* I'm really curious...

What?^^;

Ryoka: *smiles softly, chuckling* Aa... maybe some day...

Nothing. ^^

Leika: *chuckles softly, smiling at him* Some day...^^ First, I'm taking you with me for a bit of cosplay exposure.^_~

Okay.^^

Ryoka: Aa, I know, I know... *chuckles, shaking his head* Maa ne...

Trying to get through to my doctor... it's like pulling teeth. I've been getting a busy signal for the last hour. *cries*

Leika: You'll have fun! And if you don't, I'll just take you for coffee.^^ Well, I hope you don't mind the goddess Urd going with you for coffee...

Meanwhile, I'm supposed to be studying right now.^^;; Maa...I'll just get off here in a bit and get some sleep. I'll just study tomorrow morning...

Ryoka: *eyebrows raise slightly* Is that who you're going as...

Ahaha... ^^;;; Procrastination via out little forums...

Leika: Yeah.^^ *sighs* Maaa nee...Better bring my fan along. Routine hitting might be in order...

Exactly.^^;;; These forums are bad for my school work...

And Ryoka is going to spend the whole time at the cosplay event trying not to look at Leika below the neck...^^;;

Ryoka: *chuckles softly* I believe you may be right, if you're going as Urd...

Probably. ^^;; And everyone will be like "what's wrong with you, Ryoka?" ^^;

Leika: Sou ka. *giggling softly* Or else I could always use Washi as a shield.^^

Poor Ryoka...^^;; Well...Not really...*sniggers*

Ryoka: *chuckles, shaking his head* Maa ne... I don't think Washi would appreciate that very much...

*gigglesnort* No, not really. ^^;

Leika: Mou...*pouting a bit* Washi doesn't appreciate anything I do...Such a meanie that man...

Maaa...Washi and Leika were supposed to be married really.^^;; Ahahaha...

Ryoka: He's not mean... *sighs, shaking his head* I think he just doesn't appreciate your enthusiasm as much as he could...

Really? ^^;;; Naaaa... that would have been wierd...

Leika: Maybe...*sighs, smiling vaguely* Thank goodness I didn't end up marrying him as I was supposed to do...It wouldn't have worked...

Yeah...^^;; Well they weren't compatible so marriage plans went kaput and they ended up being Vassals instead.

Ryoka: Married? *eyebrows lift* Goodness... that would have been a disaster, I think...

Like an arranged marriage? ^^;;

Leika: I believe so too.^^; *chuckles softly, shaking her head* I could take him as a friend, but as a husband? I think I'd die of frustration...Not just with how he is as a person, but I need to be loved, Ryoka...*chuckles softly, sighing again* It would have been meaningless a union...

Yeah. To unite the lands their families take charge over...

Ryoka: *chuckles softly* Maa ne... at least the two of you can be friends, though...

Ah. Well with them not married, what happened to that union?

Leika: *giggles softly* Sou ne.^^ Though I believe I'm more of a nuisance to him than a friend really. I bug him all the time and he admitted that if he had married me he would have killed himself. Maaa...*chuckles* But he loves me, in his own strange way in the deepest pits of his heart. I just know it.^_~

Guess their families worked something out...Had other people marry, maybe one of their siblings...Not clear on their families yet...

Ryoka: *sniggersnort* Maa... that's terrible, Leika... *shakes his head, chuckling amusedly* But I do believe you're right... of course he loves you, in some way...

Ah. ^^ Okay.

Leika: What's terrible? The fact that he says that he'd kill himself if he married me? Na, maybe....*chuckles softly, smiling* We're just not meant to be, Washi and I. He needs someone who could be able to put up with his attitude or could mellow him down. I don't have that ability. I'd rather rile him up.^^

Interesting though, to think that Leika and Washi were once engaged...^^;;

Ryoka: *chuckles softly, shaking his head* You are indeed terribly, Leika... and I suppose you'll help him find that someone, too, mm?

It is. ^^;;; Kind of scary, actually...

Leika: *giggles* Maybe.^^ If I could ever find her for him, anyway...

Hahahaha...Yeah.^^;; I could just imagine Washi eyebrow twitching more and more violently as he watches Leika walk down the aisle on the day of their marriage or something...

Ryoka: *chuckles softly* You seem to enjoy playing matchmaker...

*SNIGGERS* Maaaaa... that was a very funny mental image. ^^;;;

Leika: Sometimes.^^ It's quite fun.

It is isn't it?XD

Ryoka: *chuckles softly* And why do you find it so much fun?

Very. *gigglesnort* I can picture it soooo well... makes me giggle. XD

Leika: Hm...*thinking then starting to laugh softly* My sadistic sense of humor again. I just want to see him twitch...XD

And I bet if that happened, Leika'd make the most of it and make sure he ends up twitching some more when he sees her...^^;;

Ryoka: *chuckles amusedly, shaking his head and leaning back a bit in his chair* Maa ne...

What do you mean "make the most of it"? Like with how she was dressed or how she was acting or something?

Leika: *giggling* That's my hobby, making Washi twitch.^^ I would have been terrible as his wife...

She'd just act all enthusiastic about the whole thing. She'd make it a nightmare for him, I'm sure.^^;; I don't know why Leika acts like this towards Washi...I guess he must have made quite the bad impression at first...^^;;

Ryoka: Your hobby, is it? *shakes his head, chuckling softly* Maa...

I wonder what he did when they first met, then... ^^;;;

Leika: It's a very fun hobby, but not one I'd recommend to someone else, because I fear Washi might actually do something to them...^^ *giggles*

I wager he just took one look at her then said "I don't want her."

Ryoka: *amused* Well, you see? He must love you a bit if he lets you bother him like that, ne?

*SNIGGERSNORT* Oh goodness. ^^;;;;

Leika: It also happens that I've been doing it for years so I suppose he's used to it.^^

Exactly...*sniggers*

Ryoka: Probably... *chuckles softly* It's nice that the two of you are such good friends...

That's awesome. XD

Leika: Naaa...*sighs, shaking her head, giggling softly* I guess we are. Though it can't really be seen most of the time...^^;

*sniggers* Washi's just very blunt that way. Doesn't care that he'd hurt people most of the time...I love him.XD

Ryoka: I think everyone knows it, even if Washi won't admit it... *smiling faintly*

*gigglesnort* He's quite amusing, yes. ^^

Leika: *giggles* Washi doesn't admit anything, yes...*SIGHS tragically* Maaaaa...Could be frustrating sometimes...

Yeah...Washi doesn't talk much but when he does it's either it's really needed or he just wants to make a blunt observation...^^;

Ryoka: *sighs, shaking his head* You're just expecting a lot from him, I think Leika... Washi seems the kind to show his emotions in his own way, ne?

^^;; I can just picture Leika's face when he said he didn't want her... ^^;;;

Leika: *shrugs* I'm not expecting much, actually Ryoka. *chuckles softly, shaking her head* I guess I do just want to hear him talk more...And beyond his usual derisive comments, but I guess yeah...That is too much. *sighs, glancing down at her feet* Ne Ryoka, would you mind if I put my feet up? Me legs are feeling a bit tired with crossing and uncrossing like this...

She was stricken.^^; I'm sure no one had ever rejected her before.

Ryoka: Ah... *pauses for a moment, then shrugs a bit* Sure, I don't mind...

Ahaha... ^^;;; I can imagine...

Leika: Arigato~ ^^ *sighs as she bends a bit to the side, lifting her leg a bit, fingers busy with the straps* Maaa...Cute shoes but being barefoot could be nice too sometimes...

And from then on she hasn't stopped bothering him.^^;;

Ryoka: *smiles faintly* Aa...

Of course not. ^^;;;

Leika: *slips off one shoe then bends to the other side, doing the same thing, smiling up at him* What are you agreeing to hm?

Yeah, that's just Leika for you.^^;;

Ryoka: *shakes his head vaguely* Nothing... just agreeing...

Exactly. ^^;;;

Leika: All right then...*chuckles softly, sighing as she removes her other shoe, placing them by the side, wiggling her toes a bit before easing her feet up beside her on the wide chair, taking care to smooth her skirt down*

Yeah...^^;;

Ryoka: *smiles faintly, glancing off out the window again*

*shrugs* ^^;

Leika: *looking to him, chuckling softly, shaking her head* I'm decent, Ryoka. You can look now if you wanted...

Ryoka: *looks back toward her, eyebrows quirking* I know you are...

Leika: Maaa neee...*chuckles softly* You just kept on looking away when my skirt plays peekaboo a bit...I guess I just wanted to assure you that you would see nothing now...

Ryoka: *stares for a moment, eyebrow quirking, and then clears his throat vaguely* Well... would you rather I ogled you?

Leika: *chuckles softly, sighing, shaking her head* I thank you for being such a gentleman, Ryoka, really I do, but I do like having the person I'm talking to looking at me. And as I said, I'm decent.

Ryoka: Mm. *sighs, shaking his head* Alright, alright... didn't mean to offend you or anything...

Leika: I'm not offended. *chuckles softly, smiling reassuringly* Why would I be when you were just being polite ne?^^

Ryoka: Aa, I suppose... *smiles vaguely* Just figured you probably get enough of people staring at you...

Leika: It can be tiring, but I don't really care that much anymore...*shrugs* They can stare all they want. So long as no groping is involved...

Ryoka: *chuckles softly* I'll keep that in mind...

Leika: *giggling softly* Aa...^_~ Enjoy the view if you wish, Ryoka...

Ryoka: *shakes his head, closing his eyes a bit* I'm not that kind of person, Leika...

Leika: *giggles softly, nodding* I know.^^

Ryoka: Then you know that I wouldn't stare... *smiles vaguely, looking off out the window again* Not that I want to annoy you by not looking at you while we talk, of course...

Leika: All right then, Ryoka. *smiling vaguely, leaning back against her chair*

Ryoka: *chuckles softly, shaking his head vaguely*

Leika: Na, and what are you chuckling for this time hm? *smiling at him, watching him*

Ryoka: *sighs, turning to look at her again* Nothing really... and everything... just the situation in general...

Leika: *smiling* Amused again then?^^

Ryoka: *lips quirk* Pretty much...

Leika: *giggles* Yaaaaaaaaay...^^

Ryoka: *chuckles softly, amusedly* And you're pleased again...

Leika: That you're amused makes me happy.^^ Especially since I'm around...*giggles softly*

Ryoka: I'd noticed that, yes... *smiling vaguely* Why is that, do you think?

Leika: *shrugs* I don't know.^^ I guess you just really find me very entertaining.

Ryoka: *chuckles softly* I really haven't known many people like you, Leika...

Leika: Na? Like me? *looks at him, tipping her head a bit to look at him curiously* What makes me so different ne?

Ryoka: You're... like Miku, I think... *chuckles softly, smiling a bit* Very cheerful and enthusiastic... outgoing...

Leika: Miku-san has always been cheerful yes.^^ Does she amuse you too?

Ryoka: She does at times, yes. *smiling vaguely* I don't know many people like you and her... it's kind of refreshing, actually...

Leika: Well, I'm sure I speak for both of us that we're happy we amuse you.^^ There are others in the palace...You just need to spend more time among them I guess...*giggles* Keiko-chan and Tokiko-chan and Yuki-chan....Oh and Nozomi-chan too.^^

Ryoka: Yes, I'm told there are others now... *chuckles softly, shaking his head* I just don't know most of them... I get the feeling they find me unapproachable, actually...

Leika: Hm...I guess they do. Maaa...But I'm sure they'd be happy to get to know you.^^

I bet Nozomi-chan and the other enthusiastic ones are very curious of Ryoka aren't they?^^ They just don't know how to approach him.

Ryoka: *smiles, amused* If they're anything like you, I wouldn't doubt it...

Probably... I can see Tokiko and Keiko and Nao ambushing him some time to ask him some questions. ^^;; At this point, Nozomi's married and whatnot, so she might actually be a bit more discrete than that... but she'd probably find an excuse to talk to him, too... and probably Kozue as well. ^^;

Leika: *giggles* Sou ne.^^ They'd want very much to be friends, I believe.

Oh those three would definitely do that won't they?^^;; Maaa...Any idea on what they might want to know?

Ryoka: *chuckles softly* It wouldn't surprise me...

Probably everything. ^^;; Who he is, where he and Kozue have been, why they left, if they could still henshin, if they were still bound to Stars, etc. ^^;;

Leika: Well they do.^^ They just probably don't have any idea on how to approach you.

Na, think Ryoka'd put up with their questions?^^;;

Ryoka: I do seem to have that effect on people, don't I? *sighs and shakes his head* It's not that I mean to... what is it about me that makes people think twice about talking to me, mm?

Probably... he's pretty patient as long as there's little or no squealing involved. ^^;;; And talking about Misha is something he doesn't like to do... kind of a sensative subject, ne? ^^;;

Leika: *chuckles softly* You just don't smile enough, I think.^^ Without it, you look very intimidating, Ryoka.

I believe Nao, Keiko and Tokiko would drop a subject if they know it was sensitive ne?^^

Ryoka: Do I? *shakes his head* Maa ne...

Of course they would. ^^;; They'd stop and stare for a second and then one of them would pipe up with a completely random question/comment and they'd all start chattering again about that instead. ^^

Leika: Maa...*getting up and approaching him, giving him a patpat* It's all right ne?^^

Yeah...^^;; Or they could just ask about Leika.^^ "Maa Ryoka-san, so are you and Leika-san together or something? When she's around you're always together ne?"

Ryoka: *eyebrows quirk* Aa, arigato...

Ryoka would start sputtering. ^^;;; And in the end it would boil down to "I don't know what you're talking about! Leika and I are just friends!" ^^;

Leika: Tondemonai.^^ Maaa now to go back to my chair...*giggles softly*

"Na? Are you sure?" "You're so close Ryoka-san!" "I think you'd be cute together!" *sniggers*

Ryoka: *smiles vaguely up at her* Maa... you didn't have to actually come over here, you know... you looked comfortable where you were...

Exactly... and that would just make him sputter more. *gigglesnort* They'd be like "aw, kawaii desu ne~" and he'd be three shades of red and shaking his head frantically. ^^;;;

Leika: *chuckles softly, shrugging* You looked like you needed it anyway.^^ And it's not too far away...

*giggles* I bet...And then he wouldn't know what to do.^^;; Leika would probably find it amusing though...

Ryoka: I looked like I needed it? *chuckles softly* Aa... well... thank you again...

Ryoka's not used to situations like that. ^^; And I'm sure Leika would be giggling under her breath the whole time...

Leika: No problem.^^ *patpating him again before heading on back to her chair*

She definitely would and she'd probably tease him about it later too.^^; "So I'm your girlfriend ne?"^^

Ryoka: *shakes his head, watching her amusedly*

Of course... ^^;;; Poor Ryoka...

Leika: Mm...*sitting back down, tucking her legs around her* There.^^

Naa...Leika'd kiss him better if he'd let her.XD

Ryoka: *chuckles softly* Mmhm...

I think he would. ^^ He seems to like her already...

Leika: See? It was a trip that didn't really take much of my time.^^

*giggles* Oh really?^^ That'd be cute I think. Naaa...After all this stress I'm going to write a Ryoka/Leika scene. *nods*

Ryoka: *smiles amusedly* Aa, I see that...

*patpat* You'll get your thesis done and do fine. ^^

Leika: Sou ne.^^ You didn't need to feel as if I was doing something so difficult.

THank you.^^ This madness shall be done by tomorrow, I believe. Maaa...And I'm having night classes again I think tomorrow...*SIGHS*

Ryoka: Aa, alright... *smiles softly* I'll keep that in mind...

Maa ne. *patpat* All will be well... when do your night classes run?

Leika: Good.^^ I don't ever want you to worry for me.

Just tomorrow again as far as I know...It's for make-up. My teacher didn't come in Monday for his usual time...

Ryoka: Well... *tips his head a bit, smiling vaguely* I can't promise you never... but I can promise I'll try not to... how's that?

Ah, I see. ^^; Better than losing hours, I guess, though I imagine it's kind of a pain in the butt. ^^;;

Leika: All right. *nods, smiling* I can live with that. And I promise I'll try not to squeal like an idiot around you too much ne?^_~

It is...*SIGHS* And just when I could have spent time for that to tinker more on my paper...Anyway...Na, so I'm off. I'll just comment on Kenta and Tsubame over there and I'm going to finish my thesis related lit. I'll see you when I see you.^^

Ryoka: That's a good idea... *sighs and shakes his head* Squealing really does bother me...

Yare, yare. ^^ Get some work done and come chat again when you have the time. ^_~

Leika: *giggles* I won't do it so much.^^

And done.^^ Just going to add in the reference and going to edit it all tomorrow...Just because.

Ryoka: *chuckles softly* Good, good...

Cool. ^^

Leika: Of course.^^ Wouldn't want to scare you away when I can just behave you and you'd stick around.

It is.^^

Ryoka: Stick around... *smiles vaguely, chuckling aoftly* Aa... I think I might...

Leika: Yaaaaaaaay...^^ As before, I'd glomp you, but you're a bit far.

Ryoka: Mm... *eyebrows quirk* Self restraint, Leika... it's a good thing around me...

Leika: *giggles softly* I think you just need more physical affection, Ryoka.^^

Ryoka: *shakes his head, clearing his throat vaguely* If you say so...

Leika: You need more hugs, definitely.^^ *nods*

*sniggers* I find Ryoka's reactions to Leika far too amusing I think...^^;;;

Ryoka: Ah yes... *shakes his head vaguely* I don't really do hugs, I'm sorry to say...

*gigglesnort* He has interesting ones, doesn't he? ^^;;

Leika: I do.^^ So I'll just hug you when I can. Not in front of everyone though. Ne?

Yeah...^^; He just interprets innocent things she says based on intimacy...

Ryoka: *eyebrows twitch slightly* Ah... okay...

He does seem to. ^^;;; He's not used to dealing with people...

Leika: *looking at him curiously* Are those good eyebrow twitches or bad ones?

I can see that...^^;; And i can bet he just stiffens the first few times Leika hugs him...

Ryoka: *blinks slowly* I don't think they've decided yet...

Probably... ^^;;; Not because he doesn't want her hugging him, but more because he doesn't know what to do...

Leika: Maaaa...*pouting a bit*

Yeah...^^;; Though I suppose he'd learn sometime to at least accept it ne?

Ryoka: *sighs, shaking his head* Maa ne... don't mind me... just not used to people being as friendly as you are, ne? ^^;

Smiley keystrokes! >^-^< Naaa... he will. ^^ He just needs to get used to it.

Leika: You are so getting hugs Ryoka...*nods determinedly,smiling a bit again*

Guess she's really getting to him.^^; He will, given that Leika seems to have vowed that she will hug him a lot.

Ryoka: *sighs, resigned* Yare, yare...

She'll just start glomping him randomly, and everyone else will be like "Uh..." O_o;;

Leika: You'll be okay.^^

*sniggers* I'm sure...And everyone would have their suspicions already...

Ryoka: I will. *smiles vaguely* You're just very... cheerful, as I've said before...

*giggles* Well of course. ^^; There are very few people that Ryoka will let hug him like that...

Leika: That's me.^_~ Always cheerful.

Naaaaaa...When do we sic Leika on Ryoka anyway? A little bit while when Kozue is in his alcohol binge?

Ryoka: Aa... *chuckles softly* So I'd noticed...

Maa ne... I don't know. *shrugs* You think that's a good time?

Leika: *giggles softly, smiling* ^_^ We'll be all right...

Maybe not.^^;; Probably when Kozue is recovering or something...

Ryoka: *chuckles softly* I suppose we will.

Maybe. Ryoka would be very upset about Kozue, so Leika could spend time with him just to make sure he's okay...

Also. If LJ is being a pain for you, too, try replying to comments through your email. Do you have yours set to send comments to your inbox? If you do, then look at the bottom of the comment email and click on the Reply To This Comment link. ^^;; That's what I've been doing, and it seems to work better than LJ itself right now...

Leika: Mmhm.^^ *giggles, sighs, resting back against her chair* Maaa nee...Do you want to get out of here?

Yeah. That'd do the trick don't you think?

Maa...I thought i was the only one with the problem. Thanks...^^;

Ryoka: *eyebrows quirk slightly* I suppose... where would you like to go?

That's probably the best plan... they'd already be friends at that point, and she'd just want to make sure he was okay, ne? Given how concerned he's going to be in regards to Kozue... ^^;

Naaa... LJ's not working for me right now. *shrugs* Whatever. Must be too many people on the server or something...

Leika: *shrugs* I don't really know...Kitchen maybe? I heard Aoi-chan was having cake today.^^ Maybe I can coerce her into giving me a piece. Want to come?

Exactly.^^ I think I'd like to see a scene like that where Leika just checks up on him.

Probably...

Ryoka: Aoi, ne... *tips his head* I've heard she's a good cook...

I might see about writing one, if I can find the time. ^^

Leika: She is.^_^ Actually one of the best around here actually. She can't be the Head Cook at the Palace for nothing ne? And if we're lucky, Kira might be there too.^^ Maaa...I haven't talked to him in a while...

Yay.^^

Ryoka: Aa, yare yare... *chuckles softly, shrugging a bit* I'll go with you if you want, I suppose...

^_~

Leika: Yaaaaaay...^^ I think I'd really enjoy being your friend Ryoka.^^

How are you by the way?

Ryoka: Aa... *smiles vaguely* I think you enjoy being friends with everyone, Leika...

I'm doing okay. I still can't breathe. =_=;; And I have to go back to work tomorrow...

Leika: *giggles* Well there is that...^^

Maa...Are you okay with going to work tomorrow? Can you?

Ryoka: *chuckles softly* Aa, that's what I thought...

I have to. =_=;; My boss called today and basically told me that if I had to take more time off because of having pneumonia, I'll just have to find myself a new job because she'll just fire me.

Leika: Then let's go ne?^^ *getting up and grabbing her shoes*

Maaaa...^^;; Well, I hope you feel better tomorrow then.

Ryoka: Sou ne. *smiles, pushing to his feet, watching her amusedly* Let's go...

I don't figure I'll feel much better... but if I make myself sicker by going back to work, I'll have to go to the hospital, and it's actually illegal for her to fire me for being sick. *shrugs* Whatever. I don't plan on being there much longer anyway. I'm pretty much sick of it...

Oh look. LJ's working better now...

Leika: Okay.^^ *slipping her shoes on* Come on.

Okay...

Really?

Ryoka: *chuckles softly* Aa...

Na, it's not 100%, but it's working okay. ^^;;

Leika: *walks up to him and takes his hand, tugging him off to the door* Let's go.^^ Kitchens and cake here we come!

Okay...^^;; I'm leaving soon anyway...Have school...*sighs tragically*

Ryoka: *smiles vaguely, following along* Aa...

Naaa... *patpat* How long will you be gone? ^^;;

Leika: *giggles softly* Naaa...Cake'd do you good Ryoka.^^ I don't know why but I think it would. *pushes the door open and steps out into the hall, tugging him still behind her*

Ah...I might be around here at around 4 to 5...*shrugs* I'm cutting my first class because I have to haul myself off back to the thesis archives to get some information I missed then I'll be fixing my paper in one of the computer labs...Then I'm off to classes at around 6 again..Maaa...

Ryoka: *eyebrows lift* Mmhm... whatever you say, Leika...

Sounds like fun. ^^; So busy... normally I have stuff to do, too, but since I'm sick I've just been sitting around for like, the last week... =_=;; It's actually getting rather boring...

Leika: *giggles, swinging their hands a bit* Sou~^^

*patpats* Sucks to be sick ne?

Ryoka: *chuckles softly* Aa...

It does. =_=;; Boooooring...

Leika: ^_~

*patpats* I understand how you feel...

Naaa...We need a new topic. Or other people to interact!

Hmm... *pokes through characters* I wonder, I wonder...

*giggles* I think Ayame and Kozue would be nice.^^

Ah, but Kozue is out with Akuma right now, ne? ^^;; Hopefully he's not getting too drunk this time...

*sniggers* I hope not too.^^;;; Maaa...then who?

Hmmmm... *pokes at characters again*

Arika: Stop that.

.... Heh, heh...

Arika: Great. =_=;;

*giggles* All right.^^

Iruma: ...Okay...*looking to Arika, nodding vaguely*

Sayaka: ^_^ Hello.

I just pick on her because she's fun. ^^

Arika: *eyebrow tick*

Yukari: Na... just say hello, Arika. ^^;;;

Arika: *glances over at Iruma and Sayaka* Hm.

Hansa: ...close enough?

Yukari: Ah, sou... ^^;;

Iruma: *nods again* Aa...

Sayaka: Hello everyone!^^ Why are all of you frowning ne??^^ Well of course except Yukari-neechan but she's always smiling.

Iruma: *eyeing her*

Methinks this is going to be fun.^^

Hansa: I'm not frowning.

Arika: *eyes Sayaka silently*

Yukari: Hansa-kun and Arika are... not ha-ha happy people, Saya-chan. ^^;;

*giggles* Probably. >^-^

Sayaka: Maa ne and why not ne?

Iruma: *eyeing her* Because you're here...

Sayaka: *pouting at Iruma* Hidooooooiiiii...

It'll be an interesting conversation at least. Do you think there ever was a time that all of them are actually together like this? Oh! Let's toss in someone else too!

Hiro: Ah...^^;;

Yukari: *shrugs* ^^;;

Arika: *eyebrows ticking slightly*

Hansa: =_=;;

Just chat with everyone from that generation... except maybe for Kenta and Tsubame? ^^;;;

Tetsuya: Hey Hiro...

Yukari: Konnichiwa Hiro-kun, Tetsuya-san. ^^;

Yeah...*coughs* All except for Kenta and Tsubame...^^;;

Sayaka: Niiiiiichaaaa~n! *GLOMPSHUGGLES Tetsuya* >^-^<

Hiro: Hi. *blinks at Sayaka, chuckling softly* Maa ne, she's always energetic isn't she?

Iruma: *looking boredly at everybody*

Maaaaaa... I have so many characters in this generation! ^^;;;

Tetsuya: Ack! *falls over* Sayaka! O_o;;

Yukari: Saya-chan is always... enthusiastic, Hiro-kun. ^^;

Arika: *SNORT*

Yukari: Maa Arika... be nice, ne? ^^;;

Minase: ^^

Sumire: Mi~na~se~kun! *glomps*

Minase: ^^;;

Hansa: Oh look, we're almost all here...

Kirei: So many people... ^^;;;

I know.^^ *giggles* Maybe we'll have Kenta and Tsubame later.^^; It's possible ne? Maa...Na, don't forget Takeru.^^

Sayaka: *giggles* Na! Where've you been niichan ne?^^

Hiro: I guess she is.^^; *looks around* Everyone seems to be here...Well, except for Kenta anyway...Where is he?

Iruma: And Tsubame...

*giggles* Naaa...did we ever decide their ages?-

Naaaa, I knoooow... and Miyako, too. ^^;;; *giggles* Sou ne... Kenta and Tsubame could make an appearance later...

Tetsuya: *sighs and shakes his head* Busy, Saya-chan... just get offa me...

Sumire: *huggles Minase, looking over at Iruma* Na Iruma-san, I don't know where my Neechan is... ^^;

Minase: ^^;; Sumire-chan...

Sumire: *HUGGLES more*

Minase: ^^;;;

Yukari: *giggles softly* Takeru-kun and Miyako-chan are gone, too, but I think Miyako-chan said she had something to do today...

Kirei: *shrugs* She's gone off shopping with Emiko-san. Don't know where Takeru-kun is...

Arika: *yawns vaguely*

Hansa: *bored look*

Hm. Well, Tsubame is just out of highschool, so she's around 17 or 18... Yukari is about the same age, Arika is a year younger than her... so maybe 16... *ponders* Then Sumire is around 15 and Minase is the same age... Tetsuya is probably 17... and I don't know about the others. ^^;;; Ahaha...

*giggles* So many kiddies!^^;; Later...XD

Sayaka: Gomen!^^ *scrambles off* Just very happy to see you.

Hiro: *chuckles* Saya-chan is always happy to see her Niichan ne?

Sayaka: Sou! *huggles Hiro* And you too, Hiro-san!!>^-^<

Hiro: *shakes his head, pats her head* Yare, yare...^^;

Iruma: Hm...*looking around a bit*

Sayaka: Takeru-kun might've gone looking for clothes again!^^ Na, Hiro-san, where's Kenta-san ne?

Hiro: *shrugs* I don't know. I haven't seen him all day.

Maybe Iruma could be 17 too or so...Along with Tetsuya, Hiro, and Kenta. Sayaka would be around 15 too...Hm...And Hansa seems to be the oldest at around 18 or so since Iruma is Kirei's age and you've said that she was a year younger than Hansa ne?

Too many sometimes. ^^;;

Tetsuya: Aa, I know, I know... *stands up, shaking his head, dusting off his clothing* Maa ne...

Yukari: Sou ne Saya-chan, Takeru-kun is probably shopping for clothes, too. ^^;

Sumire: Takeru-san always has such interesting outfits. ^^

Minase: Na... ^^;;; Sumire-chan...

Sumire: E? ^^

Minase: Can't breathe...

Sumire: *blinks* Oh. ^^; Okay. *lets go*

Minase: Arigato. ^^

Ah... I do sort of remember saying that, yeah. ^^ So I guess Miyako and Takeru are the only ones I'm not sure about, then... mm...

They've never been this many ne?^^;;

Sayaka: Takeru does ne, Sumire-chan?^^ He always looks so cool...

Hiro: Na, is Sayaka getting a crush on Takeru-kun? *smiling teasingly*

Sayaka: Maaa nooooo! *wrinkles her nose in disgust* Takeru-kun is like my brother, Hiro-san. Eeeew?!

Hiro: *chuckles* Okay, okay...

Iruma: *looking at the wall*

Hiro: Oi Iruma, alive over there?

Iruma: *turning his head a bit to look at Hiro* Aa...

MMhm...^^ Maaa, thanks for the scene again.^^

Toooo maaaany for me... ^^;;;

Sumire: SOU! >^-^<

Hansa: *snorts softly* Never really got the j-rocker thing...

Kirei: That's 'cause you're boooring, Hansa! XP

Hansa: =_=;; Whatever...

No problemo. ^^

*patpats* ^^

Sayaka: *giggles* Hansa-san has always been kind of a wet blanket, yeah...

Hiro: Maaa...^^; I see a pattern really...

Sayaka: Pattern, Hiro-san? *looking at him curiously*

Hiro: In all generations of Starlight children, the eldest has always been...Far too serious for his own good.^^;; No offense, Hansa-san...

Iruma: *coughsniggers*

Sayaka: And Hiro-san is always polite.^^

I'm okay. ^^

Hansa: *eyebrow tick*

Tetsuya: *chuckles* Maa Hiro... now you've annoyed him. ^^;

Yukari: That's kind of true, though. ^^;;;

Kirei: *SNIGGER*

Hansa: =_=;;

Good.^^

Hiro: Gomen...^^;;

Sayaka: I'll protect you from Hansa-san Hiro-san!!>^-^<

Hiro: Ah...Arigato, Saya-chan.^^;;

Iruma: *sniggering, smiling slightly at Hiro* Good one...

Hiro: Uh...Thank you?^^;;

Hansa: *SIGHS, eyeing Hiro* It's fine...

Yukari: *patpat Hansa*

Hansa: Yare, yare... *shakes his head*

Tetsuya: *chuckles softly* She just offers to protect you because she knows Hansa-san would never actually harm her, despite how he glares sometimes...

Sumire: I think Hansa-san is nice. ^^

Minase: ^^;;;

Kirei: *GIGGLESNORT*

Sumire: What? I do... ^^

Sayaka: ^^ Naaaa...I can take him.

Hiro: Okay...^^; *looks to Sayaka, patting her head* Na, you're going to get into so much trouble...

Sayaka: ^^

Iruma: Nice ne, Sumire? *eyebrow quirking amusedly*

Kenta: Na, but Sumire-chan thinks everyone is nice anyway.^^ Because Sumire-chan is a sweet girl.

Sayaka: *GLOMPSHUGGLES Kenta* Kenta-saaa~an!^^ Where were you ne?

Kenta: Somewhere...^^ *ruffles Sayaka's hair*

Sayaka: Maa! *fwaps him*

Kenta: *chuckles* Konnichiwa~! Na Iruma!^^ You're here! And Hansa-san and Kirei-chan and everybody!^^ What's this? What have I missed?

Hansa: *eyes Sayaka a bit*

Sumire: Sou ne! >^-^<

Minase: ^^;; Sumire-chan...

Yukari: Maa ne Minase... the two of you just come as a set, don't you? ^^

Minase: Ahaha... ^^;;;

Sumire: *HUGGLES Minase again*

Kirei: *giggles vaguely, shrugging a bit* Not doing much, Kenta-san... just kind of standing around and talking. ^^

Tetsuya: *eyeing Kenta vaguely* You look... different or something, Kenta...

Tsubame: ^^;;;

Sumire: Neechan! ^^

Tsubame: Konnichiwa... ^^;

Iruma: *shakes his head as he glances at Sumire and Minase* Far too cute together...

Kenta: Maaa...This' never happened before, Kirei-chan.^^ Cool!

Hiro: *eyebrow quirking* Where've you been Kenta? And yeah...Why is it that you...Uh...Can't place it but...

Kenta: Haaaa? *blinks* Me? Look different? *confused*

Sayaka: *looking at them curiously* What? *before looking to greet Tsubame* Konnichiwa Tsubame-san!^^

Sumire: Arigato Iruma-san! ^^ *huggles more*

Minase: Aha... ^^;;;

Kirei: We don't all get to hang out together very often, do we? ^^ Maaa, but Miyako-chan and Takeru-kun aren't here, so does this even count as us all? ^^;

Tetsuya: *looks over a Hiro* You see it too? Mm... *inspecting Kenta again*

Tsubame: Konnichiwa Saya-chan... ^^;

Sumire: Ne Neechan... daijoubu na? ^^

Tsubame: E? Ah... ^^;; Of course... why wouldn't I be okay?

Sumire: Naaaa... you just look nervous for some reason. ^^; I was just asking.

Tsubame: I'm fine... ^^;;;

Is it okay with Dekiru that Sumire's treating Minase like her own personal living teddybear?^^;

Kenta: It's a majority.^^ Good enough and maaa! Stop looking at me like that! You're freaking me out!

Hiro: Hm...*looking at Kenta still*

Sayaka: What're you all staring at?^^;;;

Iruma: *looking blankly at Kenta too...maybe just for the heck of it^^;;*

Kenta: *shifts away a bit* Mou...Stop it...

*gigglesnort* I don't know... Sumire and Minase have a very similar relationship to what Nozomi and Kin had... very good friends, probably best friends at this point. And Minase's such a sweetheart that there's pretty much nothing for Dekiru to complain about... besides which, he's Kaida and Arashi's son, so even his genes are polite and pleasant. ^^;;;

Tetsuya: *eyeing him*

Tsubame: ^^;;;;

*gigglesnort to Iruma*

Hansa: *shakes his head* A lunatic asylum, this place is...

Sumire: *giggles vaguely* Na, you don't mean that Hansa-san. ^^

Hansa: =_=;; I'm pretty sure I do...

Oh My goodness...But doesn't that make them cousins?? Minase is Arashi's son...Sumire is Dekiru's daughter.^^;; Dekiru and Arashi are brother and sister...

Kenta: Maaaaaa...^^;;;

Hiro: *looking at him, squinting a bit* I really can't put my finger on it...

Iruma: *slowly looks away* He looks a bit tussled...

Kenta: ^^;;;;

Hiro: *blinks* Oh My God...Yeah...

Sayaka: Hansa-san's so negative...*shaking her head*

Aw crap. I'd forgotten about that. =_=;; I can barely keep them straight anymore. So I guess they stay bestest friends... I'll put Sumire with Takeru... that's okay, ne? Uh, Dekiru and Fusae's daughter with Emiko and Kei's son? *ponders intensely*

Tetsuya: *eyebrows jump* And that would be it... jeez Kenta...

Hansa: I am not negative. *eyebrow tick*

Yukari: Yes you are... ^_^;;

Sumire: *giggles* >^-^<

Tsubame: *trying desperately not to draw attention to herself* ^^;;;

*patpats* ^^;; I think they'd be cute.^^ Takeru and Sumire...How is Takeru turning out anyway?

Kenta: ...What?^^;;; What?

Iruma: *coughsniggers*

Hiro: *eyebrow quirk* Okay, who is it?

Kenta: Ah...^^;;

Sayaka: Sou~ ne...*nodding* Hate to break it to you Hansa-san, but you are...

Takeru is turning out quite a bit like his father, which is cool with me. ^^ Generally pleasant and cheerful... but he also tends to brood sometimes if the mood strikes him. ^^;; He inherited Kei's sense of style, too...

Tetsuya: *chuckles amusedly, practically grinning* No really Kenta, you've got to tell us...

Sumire: Neechan... are you sure you're okay? ^^;

Tsubame: I'm... fine... ^^;;; Ahaha...

Hansa: *just eyes Sayaka, eyebrows ticking vaguely*

*coughs* Sayaka's supposed to be with Hansa, ne? ^^;; Not creating a very good impression, here...

They'd go well together i think.^^

Kenta: How 'bout no, Tetsuya? *looking at him, shaking his head*

Hiro: Maaa...*chuckles* What's this? Are you actually shy?

Kenta: I'm not shy. It's just that I don't know if she'd want it out in the open okay...

Iruma: *watching Hansa and Sayaka*

Sayaka: *sighs* Jeez...So sensitive, Hansa-san...*shakes her head* Gomen...

Well, she is supposed to annoy him a bit at first...^^;;

I'm sure they would... aha... but I think Dekiru would definitely have something to say about Sumire being with him. ^^;;;;

Tetsuya: *sighs and shakes his head* Maa ne. Can't argue with that, I guess...

Yukari: Chivalry isn't quite dead yet. ^^

Arika: *snorts softly*

Yukari: Maa, Arika... ^^;;;

Hansa: =_=;; I'm not sensitive... I just get tired of people trying to tell me what I am...

Kirei: Oh please. *rolls her eyes*

Sumire: Maaaaa Neeeeee~chaaaaan... *pouts*

Tsubame: Daijoubu na. ^^;;; No worries, Sumire...

Maaaa...^^;; Probably just about Takeru being a boy in general, nothing beyond that I'm sure.^^;;

Kenta: Good. Now, leave me alone ne? >^-^<

Hiro: Yare, yare...Fine...*sighs*

Kenta: Maaaa! And Arika-chan! Didn't see you there! ^^ *waves*

Sayaka: Maaaa...Don't get upset, Hansa-san...*sighs, shaking her head*

Iruma: *smiling vaguely*

Well... but Takeru's kind of on the fringe, same as Kei, ne? So Dekiru would be even more wary...

Tetsuya: Yeah, okay... *sighs, shaking his head, chuckling softly* Looking so pleased, Kenta...

Arika: Hm. *eyes him* I wasn't trying to be particularly visible, Kenta-kun.

Tetsuya: I told you she doesn't like being called that... ^^;;;

Yukari: *giggles vaguely*

Hansa: I'm not upset. I'm fine. *sighs tiredly* Jeez...

Sumire: Whatcha smilin for Iruma-san? ^^

But Dekiru tolerates Kei...^^;;

Kenta: Well, you know I can't stay serious far too long.^^;; Aha...Weird..

Hiro: Sou ne...But you've always been so...*shrugs*

Kenta: Anyway, Arika-ch--Oh fine, Arika then...*SIGHS* Was just wondering how you were...*shrugs*

Sayaka: *shrugs* Fine.

Iruma: *shrugs* Just felt like it...

It'd be different if his daughters were involved, though, ne? ^^;;;

Tetsuya: That's true... *smiles amusedly* Always very cheerful, you are Kenta...

Arika: *shrugs a bit* I'm fine.

Yukari: How are you, Kenta-kun? ^^

Hansa: Good. *nods vaguely*

Sumire: Sou! >^-^< More people should smile just 'cause they feel like it!

Tsubame: Maa ne Sumire... ^^;;

I guess...^^;; Though maa...Not like they do drugs or anything like that but whatever...^^;; Dekiru is such a stiff!

Kenta: That's good, Arika.^^ Maaa...I'm fine, Yukari-chan. Thanks for asking.^^

Hiro: *chuckles, shaking his head*

Kenta: Maa and what's so funny, Hiro ne? *pokes*

Hiro: *smiling vaguely* Just thinking that "yes, you're very fine Kenta...Very find indeed..."

Kenta: Maaaa...Quit it...*pouting a bit*

Hiro: *chuckles, waving a hand* Yare, yare...

Sayaka: *shrugs, smiling suddenly* ^^

Iruma: *eyebrows quirk* People can't always smile all the time...

*patpat* We knew he was, ne? ^^; That's just Dekiru for you...

Yukari: ^^

Arika: *bored*

Tetsuya: Maa ne Hiro... *chuckles and shakes his head*

More than fine, I think. ^^;;

Tsubame: ^^;;;

Sumire: People should! *giggles, smiling toward Iruma* Smiling is good medicine!

Ahahaahah...^^;;

Kenta: Mou...

Hiro: *chuckling softly*

Sayaka: Ne, ne? What's everyone talking about back here?

Hiro: Oh Kenta's just very fine for some reason, Saya-chan. Nothing to worry about...^^

Sayaka: Ah...Sou ne.^^

Iruma: *shrugs* If you say so...

Kenta: *whining* Stop it...

Tetsuya: Maa ne. *patpat Kenta*

Yukari: I think Hiro-kun is just happy for you, Kenta-kun. ^^;;;

Tetsuya: He likes to stick his nose in other people's business sometimes. ^^;

Sumire: ^_^

Minase: ^^;;

Sumire: Smiling is good for you, I say. ^^

Kenta: Maa...=_=;;; You suck, Hiro...

Hiro: *chuckles* ^^

Sayaka: I think he's just happy he's getting to Kenta-san for once.^^;;

Iruma: *sighs, shaking his head* Sou...As you say, Sumire...

Tsubame has managed to successfully melt into the background, I notice... ^^;

Tetsuya: Come on, Kenta. *pokes* You do it to us all the time...

Sumire: *eyes Iruma, very clearly considering glomping him* HMM...

Yukari: Aha... ^^;; I wouldn't advise that, Sumire-chan...

Minase: Sou... ^^;;;

Well...Kenta did manage to deviate a lot of attention from her so...^^;;

Kenta: Maa ne, doesn't make me like it you know?

Hiro: *snorts* Who said you had to like it? It's just something we do in return. It's only fair.

Kenta: :P Meeeeeh...

Sayaka: *giggles* It really does make me curious though. I wonder who the girl is.^^

Iruma: *eyeing Sumire back, tensing a bit*

*giggles* If Sumire wants to glomp him, she should just do so.^^; Iruma's just going to stand there and bare it anyway...

Yeah, he did. ^^;; You think it was intentional?

Tetsuya: *shrugs* So now you know how we feel when you go it to us...

Tsubame: ^^;;;

Sumire: *giggles... and GLOMPS* >^-^<

Yukari: Oh my... ^^;;

*gigglesnort* She'll glomp on Iruma now, just cause she thinks he should smile and he happy more often. ^^;

I don't think so.^^;; I'm sure Kenta didn't want to get teased either like this even if he wouldn't want any attention drawn to Tsubame.^^;

Kenta: *nods and points a finger in the air* I will get my revenge.

Hiro: *sighs* We know, we know...

Kenta: Good.

Sayaka: Naaaaa...I wanna kno~w!>^-^< *giggles* Who i~s i~t Kenta-sa~~n?

Kenta: Not telling, Saya-chan. :P

Sayaka: *pouts, tugging on his shirt sleeve* Mooooou....:(

Iruma: *sighing resignedly, looking down at Sumire wearily*

Ahahaha...^^;; Don't know if that'd make him smile more though...

Kenta can dish it out, but he can't really take it, can he? ^^;;;

Tetsuya: *rolls his eyes* Yare, yare... *eyes Sayaka a bit* Na Saya-chan, leave him alone already...

Yukari: Daujoubu, Saya-chan... ^^;; You don't have to look so sad, ne?

Sumire: Sou! Smiles for everybody today! *huggles Iruma*

Minase: Maa ne... ^^;;;

I think Sumire and Sayaka would get along well, actually... ^^;

The teasing? Haha, yeah...^^;;

Sayaka: Maaa...Fine.

Kenta: *sighs in relief*

Sayaka: Mou...*pouting a bit still* I just want to know who Kenta-san's girlfriend is, Yukari-san.

Hiro: *chuckles softly* You're doomed, Kenta...Sayaka's going to not stop bugging you about it.

Kenta: Mou...*sighing, shaking his head, rubbing the back of his neck slightly*

Iruma: *sighs* Yare, yare Sumire...

I think they would, yeah.^^;;

I think most people are like that, though. ^^;; It's fun to tease, but not so much fun when people are teasing you, ne?

Tetsuya: *shakes his head*

Yukari: Ah, sou ne... ^^;; Demo, I don't think Kenta-kun is quite ready to share, ne? Leave him be for now. ^^

Sumire: *HUGGLES* >^-^<

Tsubame: *sweatdrop* Na Sumire... you probably shouldn't be doing that...

Sumire: E? *blinks* How come?

Tsubame: Maa ne... ^^;;;

Arika: *looking at Tsubame*

Tsubame: ...what? ^^;;;;

Arika: *eyebrows lift vaguely* Nothing...

They'd probably cause quite a bit of trouble together, though. ^^;;;

Exactly.^^;

Sayaka: 'Kay...*sighs*

Kenta: Naaa...*pats Sayaka on the head* I'll tell you sometime ne? Just not now, Sayaka-chan...Okay?^^; She might not like it if I did...

Hiro: *chuckles softly, amusedly*

Iruma: *suddenly looking at Arika then Tsubame, eyebrow quirking a bit*

I'm sure they will.^^;; do you think Kirei, Tsubame, Sumire and Sayaka all go to the same school?

Tetsuya: *sighs* Maa, don't make promises to her Kenta... she remembers every single one of them. ^^;;

Yukari: That just means you have to keep them, Tetsuya-kun. ^^;;

Tsubame: Aha... ^^;; W-what, Arika?

Arika: *smiles vaguely, almost amusedly, glancing discreetly between her and Kenta* Nandemonai, Tsubame-chan...

Sumire: Naaaaaa~ Iruma-saaaan! *looking up at him curiously* What're you looking at, ne?

Well... I didn't plan on Kirei going to an all-girls school. ^^;; I don't think she'd like that all that much... but I guess they could all go to the same academy, if you wanted. ^^

Kenta: Ah...But I do promise her that.^^; Just not now ne?

Sayaka: *smiling* You do promise, Kenta-san?

Kenta: Na...*smiling back, chuckling softly* Would I lie to you?^^

Sayaka: All right...^^

Hiro: *sighs* I wonder when he would get to tell her though...

Iruma: *eyebrow quirking, smiling vaguely then as well, shaking his head, looking to Sumire, shrugging* Nothing, Sumire...

Well...Maybe they could just have their schools near each other then? If Tsubame doesn't want to. It's fine with me.^^

Tetsuya: Yare, yare... *shakes his head*

Yukari: I think we're all rather curious to know... when you think it's alright to tell us, of course. ^^

Arika: *chuckling softly*

Tsubame: ^^;;; M-maa neeeee...

Sumire: *wrinkles her nose a bit and then huggles him again* Okaaaay~

*shrugs* Maybe they can attend branches of the same school... Tsubame and Sumire can go to the all-girls campus, and Kirei and Sayaka can attend the co-ed one... that way they can have some classes and after-school activites together sometimes. ^^

Sayaka: >^-^< A promise, is a promise, is a promise...

Kenta: Na...*coughs, shaking his head* I'll have to check with her if it's all right...

Hiro: *chuckles softly* Oh this wouldn't take long I wager...

Kenta: *eyeing Hiro a bit*

Iruma: *shaking his head, sighing* Ease a bit ne, Sumire? You're cutting of my circulation a bit...

That could work.^^ Which could explain how Sumire and Tsubame could watch Sayaka's matches easily and maybe Kirei's tournament too ne? I was thinking I'd have them, Sayaka and Kenta when Sada comes to watch Kirei's tournament.^^

Tetsuya: Shouldn't take long? Why do you think that, Hiro?

Tsubame: ^^;;;

Sumire: Maaaaaa neeeeee... *sighs and loosens her grip on him a bit* Better?

That would be cool. ^^ It'd be nice to have a bit of interaction with them... other than the scene I wrote the other day, this generation hasn't gotten much exposure so far. ^^

Hiro: *shrugging* I don't know...I just think so...

Kenta: :P

Sayaka: *giggling* ^^

Iruma: *sighs, nodding* Aa...*cracking one eye open* How long are you planning to do this, Sumire?

Naaa...Not like Dekiru-tachi have a lot either...^^;;

Tetsuya: *shakes his head* Okay, whatever you say... *eyebrow quirks* Real mature there Kenta...

Yukari: What's so funny Saya-chan? ^^;

Sumire: *HUGS* Until you smile for real! >^-^<

I guess that's a good point... ^^;;;

Kenta: Nyaaaaaaaaah! XP

Hiro: *SIGHS and rolls his eyes* Would you like a piece of candy, Kenta-kun?

Sayaka: Nothing, nothing.^^ Na Yukari-san, so how are you nowadays ne?

Iruma: *sighs, shaking his head*

Ahahaah...^^;;

Tetsuya: What girl would want to put up with you anyway? -_-;;

Yukari: I've been alright Saya-chan. ^^ Nothing unusual happening in my life... just the usual stuff.

Na. We decided to put Yukari with Iruma, didn't we?

Sumire: *HUGGLES* ^__^

We have a lot of writing to do yet, I think. ^^;;

Kenta: *chuckles* I'm sure you'd want to know, Tetsuya.^^

Hiro: *rolls his eyes* We're all DYING to know...

Sayaka: Sou ne? You sure?^^ No secret boyfriend or anything? *giggles*

We did.^^

Iruma: *SIGHS* -_-;

We do, we do.^^;;

Tetsuya: *shrugs* I wish her luck...

Yukari: Maaaa... *giggles, shaking her head* Unfortunately no, Saya-chan. ^^

Cool... *ponders* How do you think that'll happen, though? ^^;;;

Sumire: *HUGGLES more* >^-^<

He's gonna have to smile or she won't let go. ^_^;;;

Kenta: Maaa...*pouts* So mean...

Hiro: Well you are a handful, Kenta ne...*shakes his head*

Sayaka: Na, so you want one then?^^ A boyfriend I mean?

I have no idea...^^;;

Iruma: *sighs, shaking his head, looking down at her blearily* You are very determined to get me killed aren't you Sumire?

Ahahaha...^^;; I think he's doing something else to get her to let go though...

Tetsuya: Sad but true...

Yukari: I wouldn't mind having one. ^^ *giggles softly, shaking her head* But I'm not all that worried about it, really...

Ahaha... ^^;;;

Sumire: E? *blinks up at him* What do you mean by that Iruma-san?

Stubborn. *nods*

Kenta: Mou...*pouting*

Hiro: *SIGHS, shaking his head* It really does intrigue me...How you managed to get someone like you did...

Kenta: *rolls his eyes*

Sayaka: Okay then.^^

Maaa...^^;; We'll think of something...

Iruma: *eyeing her blankly* Your father is going to kill me...

Well how scary would it be if Iruma smiled anyway.^^;;;

Tetsuya: Really Hiro... they must find him attractive, given how many girls drool over him at the shop... *shrugs vaguely*

Yukari: If the right one comes along, ne Saya-chan. ^_~

Sou! We will! ^^;; Eventually...

Sumire: Ah... AHAHAHA! *giggles, huggling again, and then lets go* That's a good point, Iruma-san. ^_^;;;

*sniggersnort* Pretty scary, methinks... ^^;;

Hiro: *shakes his head* I don't see why though...Though I believe i should be thankful about that...

Kenta: *sitting down, eyeing everything blearily*

Sayaka: Na? And what is the right one like, ne Yukari-san?^^

Yeah...^^;;;

Iruma: Aa...*looking at her a bit before sighing, rubbing his arms a bit*

Yeah...^^;; And it looks like his plan worked.

Tetsuya: Keeps them away from you and me a bit. ^^;;;

Yukari: I don't know yet, ne? ^^ I haven't quite decided...

^^;;

Sumire: ^_^;;; Ahahaha...

Well... Sumire knows her father. ^^; She doesn't want him to get hurt...

Hiro: *chuckles* Well that is true...

Kenta: *sighing, leaning back against the chair he was sitting on, staring at the ceiling blankly*

Sayaka: Aa, I see...^^

They'll be okay.^^;;

Iruma: *looking at her* Are you okay?

Yeah...^_^; Good... And really, Iruma knew it so...He just reminded her so he could get away.

Tetsuya: Exactly. ^^;

Tsubame: *clears her throat vaguely, looking toward Kenta, sighing a bit* Maa ne... I hope they haven't really upset you or anything...

Sumire: My neechan, always concerned for other people. >^-^<

Tsubame: ^^;;; Sumire...

Yukari: *shrugs* I'm not stressing over it, obviously. ^^

Sumire: Me? ^^;; I'm fine! Just thinking I shouldn't glomp people all the time, or Chichihue will freak out eventually...

Sneaky, Iruma is. ^^;

Hiro: *chuckles, smiling* Na...But you two really are the ones that get the most attention, fortunately for me...

Kenta: *chuckles softly, shaking his head, eyes on the ceiling* Don't worry about it...I'm quite used to it...And Sumire-chan...*smiling vaguely* I think you're right about your neechan...

Sayaka: Sou ne! Why stress over boys? You'd just get yourself into angst, yeah...^^

Iruma: Aa...*nodding, smirking just a teensy bit it's almost unnoticeable*

He can be if he needed to be.^_~

Tetsuya: There is that. *shakes his head* Don't know why they can't just leave us alone...

Tsubame: *sighs, shaking her head vaguely* Well, good then...

Sumire: SOU! ^_^

Yukari: *giggles softly* That's my way of thinking, anyway. ^^

Sumire: Ahaha... ^^;;;;

So I'd noticed. ^^; Manipulative is the word.

Hiro: *chuckles softly* The genes, Tetsuya. Unfortunately you've got the pretty genes as they say....

Kenta: Aa...*smiling vaguely, still staring up at the ceiling, chuckles softly*

Sayaka: Well it's true.^^ So long as they aren't the one you want, why settle for second or third place? And they just cause you grief...Maa...*shakes her head, giggling softly*

Iruma: *sighing, looking away*

Aa...^^;

Tetsuya: The pretty genes..?

Yukari: You got them from both parents, I think, Tetsuya-kun. ^^

Tetsuya: =_=;; Great...

Tsubame: Aa... *smiles faintly herself, glancing away again*

Arika: *chuckling amusedly*

Sumire: Mou... ;__; Iruma-san wouldn't smile for me...

Kenta: Sou ne...*sighs, looking Tetsuya's way, grinning* Tetsuya is a bishounen!^^ Every girl that goes to the shop says so!

Hiro: *sighs tragically* Sou ne...*chuckles softly*

Sayaka: Poor niichan...^^ *giggles*

Iruma: *sighs, shaking his head* Jeez... *pats Sumire on the head*

Tetsuya: Don't call me that, Kenta. =_=;; Seriously...

Yukari: You don't like being called a bishounen? ^^;;;;

Tetsuya: *slight eyebrow tick*

Sumire: >^-^;;;

Sumire is kind of sickeningly cute, isn't she? ^^;

Kenta: *chuckles* It is true though...^^

Hiro: *chuckles harder* ^^

Sayaka: *humming, trying not to giggle* ^^

Iruma: *rolls his eyes a bit*

Yeah...^^;;

Tetsuya: Well so are you, Kenta!

Yukari: ^^;;; Oh my...

Tetsuya: XP

Sumire: ^__^

Told you she's a lot like her mother. ^^;;

Kenta: *shrugs, chuckles* Maybe.^_~

Hiro: *patpats Tetsuya* Maa...Come on, Tetsuya...^^;

Sayaka: Niichan's just very sensitive over the topic.^^;

Iruma: *looking at her wearily*

I can see that...^^;;

Tetsuya: Remind me again why you're one of my best friends? *eyeing Kenta*

Yukari: ...Karma?

Arika: *SPORFLE*

Tetsuya: =_=;;; Thanks very much for the laughter, Arika...

Arika: *sniggering*

Yukari: ^^;;; Gomen...

Sumire: ^^ Na, what Iruma-san?

She seems to like Iruma... bet she hangs off him half the time they're in the same room, just trying to get him to smile. ^^;;;

Kenta: Hm...*thinks about it, looking up at the ceiling again, then shrugs and chuckles* I don't know.^^ Just because...

Hiro: *chuckles, shaking his head* Whatever did you do ne, Tetsuya?

Sayaka: Na, you keep saying that Niichan but I know you love Kenta-san.^^

Kenta: Sou ne!^^ And big yay! Arika's laughing!>^-^<

Iruma: *eyeing her* Nothing...

Probably.^^; And I bet Miki and Fusae finds it endlessly cute.

Tetsuya: No helping, Saya-chan... =_=;;

Yukari: But it's true, ne? ^^

Arika: *gigglesniggersnort*

Tetsuya: Great... *SIGHS*

Sumire: Mouuuuu~ *pokes him a bit* Really, what?

Of course they do... and Dekiru has horrible flashbacks to when he was younger and Fusae was doing the same thing to him. ^^;; Except Sumire and Iruma are second-cousins, and she really just wants him to smile sometimes. ^^;;

Sayaka: *giggles and huggles Tetsuya* Maa nee~...>^-^<

Kenta: *chuckles* ^^

Hiro: Maa...*chuckles*

Iruma: *sighs, shaking his head* Nothing, really...

Ahahaha...I bet he would, except that Fusae was probably worse than Sumire since she wasn't Dekiru's cousin and she didn't have a father who would lock her away in a tower if he saw her glomping all over a boy.^^;; I guess she does...

Tetsuya: Yare, yare... *shakes his head*

Yukari: Arika seems amused, at least. ^^

Arika: *sighs and rolls her eyes*

Sumire: Fine. *pouts*

I think Fusae was probably worse, yes. ^^;;;

Sayaka: Maa niichan, come on! *huggles more* Smi~le!>^-^<

Kenta: *chuckling still* ^^

Hiro: *chuckles softly, smiling vaguely* She does seem to be ne?

Iruma: *looking at her, shaking his head*

I wager.^^;; She'd see him and just hang all over him until he had to shake her off...And what's worse is that everyone thinks it's so cute so they don't stop her or anything.^^;;

Tetsuya: Yeah, okay... *smiles vaguely* Happy now?

Yukari: ^^

Arika: *sighs* Yeah, whatever...

Sumire: Maaaaa... *giggles and hugs him again* ^_^

She is cute, yeah. ^^;; I think that would tick Iruma off even more...

Kenta: *chuckles* Saya-chan is always effective.^^

Sayaka: *smiling* Na, as I said before, it could be wider.^^

Hiro: So it seems...^^

Iruma: *groans softly, shaking his head, muttering* Good grief...

Not that he can really do anything ne?^^;;

Tetsuya: =_=;; Saya, sometimes you ask too much...

Yukari: She just likes to see you smile, ne? ^^

Sumire: >^-^< *huggles*

He's remarkably tolerant of her, actually. ^^;;;

Sayaka: *giggles* Do I? Gome~n...^^

Hiro: I think she also is amused that he's suffering actually...^^;;

Kenta: Ah...She tends to be like that, yeah...^^;;

Iruma: *SIGHS*

Well, he can't exactly hit her or anything ne?^^; And I think he likes her too, to a certain extent...^^;;

Tetsuya: She loves to see my suffer, Hiro. You are so right about that. -_-;

Yukari: ^^;;; I'm sure that's not entirely true...

Arika: Note the "entirely" in that sentence.

Sumire: *giggles* Na, what now Iruma-san? ^^

She's pretty hard not to like, though I can see her getting aggrevating pretty quickly, too... ^^;;

Hiro: Sayaka-chan could be sadistic...^^;; Well, to Tetsuya anyway...

Kenta: Maaa...^^;; Makes me happy I don't have sibblings suddenly...

Sayaka: My niichan is just very amusing that's all.>^-^<

Iruma: *sighs* Could you let me sit down at least if you're going to be glomping onto me?

Sure...^^;; That glomping must be very tiring.

Tetsuya: Sadistic is a good word...

Yukari: ^^;;;

Arika: *sniggering softly*

Sumire: Okay. ^^

I can imagine. ^^;;;

Sayaka: *giggles* Maaa...^^

Hiro: I don't think she can hear us.^^;

Kenta: Sayaka-chan is annoyance taken to another level I think.^^;;;

Hiro: Maaa...She beats you, Kenta.

Kenta: Ah...*shrugs, chuckling weakly* I guess sibblings are far more effective.^^;;

Hiro: *shakes his head*

Iruma: *looks at her* Could you let go a bit?

Yeah...^^;; Maaa...And a lot of my characters have my sadistic sense of humor...

Tetsuya: Sou ne. =_=;; Sayaka is much more annoying than Kenta... and that's saying a lot...

Yukari: Maa ne. ^^;;;

Arika: *SNIGGER*

Sumire: Sou ne. ^^ *lets go, smiling at him* There ya go!

They do seem to, don't they? ^^;;;

Hiro: And she lives with you.^^;;

Kenta: Ahahaha...^^;;;

Sayaka: Na~! *giggles, poking Tetsuya* But you lo~ve me~! You said so~!^^

Iruma: *sighs and sits down, shaking his head*

Uh huh...^^;;

Tetsuya: Exactly. *jumps a bit* Sayaka! =_=;;

Yukari: Saya-chan is so cute. ^^

Tetsuya: If you say so...

Sumire: Sou! *GLOMPS*

They're funny, though! I like them! ^_^

Sayaka: *giggling* >^-^< Thank you, Yukari-san!

Hiro: Tetsuya has so many things to put up with ne?^^;;

Kenta: Aa...^^;; Me, You, Sayaka-chan, the stuff about A--

Hiro: Maa! I don't think he needs to hear anything about her right now ne? He's upset already as it is...^^;;

Iruma: *staring blankly*

Who did Sumire glomp?^^;;

Yukari: Tondemonai. ^^

Tetsuya: Why me? =_=;;;

Arika: *eyeing Kenta suspiciously*

Sumire: >^-^<

Iruma, of course. ^^;; She's being very glomp-y today...

Iruma: *from his seat* Because you're surrounded, Tetsuya...

Kenta: Right, right, Hiro...^^;; Don't know what'd happen if I mentioned her...

Hiro: *nods once* You're sure to be pummled again.

Kenta: Great...^^;;

Sayaka: Yukari-san is so sweet.^^

I see.^^;;

Tetsuya: *rolls his eyes* Thank you for that, Iruma...

Arika: *eyeing Kenta still*

Yukari: ^^;;

Sumire: *humming to herself*

Iruma: *shrugs, looking a bit aways* No problem...

Hiro: *sighs* Yare, yare...

Kenta: *notices Arika eyeing him and gives her a smile and a wave* >^-^<

Sayaka: *giggles* You okay there, Sumire-chan?^^

Tetsuya: =_=;;

Arika: =_=;;

Yukari: Oh look, they match... ^^;;;

Sumire: Sou! ^^ Iruma-san is gonna smile for me, or I'm not leaving him alone!

Kenta: They do, don't they?^^;;

Hiro: *breaks into quiet sniggers* XD

Sayaka: Maaa...Good luck on that, Sumire-chan.^^;; It looks like you're upsetting him even more actually...

Iruma: -_-;

Tetsuya: *stares blankly*

Arika: =_=;;

Yukari: Maa, Arika! *giggles and shakes her head*

Sumire: E? *blinks and looks up at Iruma, then pouts a bit* Mouuuuuuu~ Iruma-saaaaaan~

Hiro: *still sniggering* XD

Kenta: *pokes him* Oi, snap out of it.

Hiro: *sniggers...then stops, clearing his throat*

Kenta: *shaking his head* Weird, Hiro...Very weird...

Iruma: =_=;;;

Sayaka: Maaa...^^;; *patpats Sumire*

Tetsuya: *shakes his head slowly* What have I done to deserve this?

Arika: *frowning*

Yukari: ^^;; Maa ne... *patpat Arika*

Sumire: Mouuu... *pouts, letting him go, crossing her arms* Not even a little smile...

Kenta: *looking to Hiro* Want to answer that one?^^;;

Hiro: Hm...*shrugs* He's just himself...

Sayaka: ^^;;

Iruma: *eyeing her* You can't expect me to smile if you're glomped all over me, Sumire...I'm sorry to say...

Tetsuya: Okay... then what is it about me that screams for being mocked and tormented? =_=;;

Sumire: *sniffs, pouting* Meanie...

Kenta: Hm...*thinking*

Hiro: *eyeing Tetsuya wearily* Just a "Tetsuya essence" I think...*shrugs* I dunno...

Iruma: *eyebrow quirk* Oi...

Sayaka: Maaaa! Sumire-chan...*patpats some more* ^^;;

Tetsuya: Great. *SIGHS* Must be the same thing that makes girls squeal over me...

Sumire: *sighs, pouting still* Mou...

Kenta: *smiles vaguely, chuckling softly* Oh I don't know about that...

Hiro: *eyebrow quirk, smiling vaguely as well* It might be something different from that, Tetsuya...

Iruma: *SIGHS*

Tetsuya: I think I'm just cursed. =_=;;

Sumire: ;__;

Kenta: Maybe.^_~

Hiro: *chuckles amusedly* ^^

Iruma: *eyebrows lift* Oi...Sumire...

Tetsuya: It's not that funny... -_-;

Sumire: What? ;__;

Kenta: No it isn't.^^

Hiro: *shrugs* Yeah, yeah...

Iruma: *sighs, leaning back against his seat, looking at her* Why are you crying?

Tetsuya: *rolls his eyes* You could say it without smiling like that, Kenta...

Sumire: I'm not crying. *pouts some more* Mou...

Kenta: Okay. *sobers up* No it isn't.

Hiro: *LOL* XD

Iruma: *shrugs, looking away* Fine then...

Tetsuya: |_|;; That's kind of scary, did you know that? You looking that serious...

Sumire: XP

Kenta: Uh huh...*looking serious still, nodding*

Hiro: *LOL some more* XD

Iruma: *rolls his eyes* Thought so...

Tetsuya: *eyes him vaguely* Stop that...

Sumire: Thought so what? ^^

Kenta: Why? *looking at him questioningly, eyebrow quirking just a bit*

Hiro: *sniggers and sighs* Maaa...

Iruma: *rolls his eyes and stands up* That I had nothing to worry about...

Tetsuya: It's freaking me out... O_o;

Sumire: You were worried about me? >^-^

Kenta: Okay.>^-^<

Hiro: Thought it was funny.XD

Iruma: *shrugs* A bit, yeah...

Tetsuya: *shakes his head, eyeing him warily* That's better...

Sumire: Honto? *giggles happily* Na, I love you too Iruma-san! >^-^<

Kirei: I think she just hears what she wants to hear...

Yukari: Sou... ^^;;;

Kenta: *chuckles* Maaaa Tet-chan...^^

Hiro: *shakes his head, sighing* Poor Tetsuya...

Iruma: *slight eyebrow tick* Aa...

Sayaka: Guess she does...^^;;

Tetsuya: Maaa what?

Sumire: ^__^

Yukari: She definitely does. ^^;;

Kenta: Nothing.^^ You're just so...You.^^

Hiro: *sniggers* I'm sure that helps his dilemma, Kenta...

Iruma: *stares blankly back at her*

Sayaka: Ahaha...^^;;

Tetsuya: I'm just so "me", huh? Yeaaah...

Sumire: |_|;; What?

Arika: *sniggersnort*

Kirei: Hopeless, I think...

Yukari: Sou... ^^;;;

Kenta: *chortles* >^-^<

Hiro: *sniggers softly* Kenta just loves you, Tetsuya...

Iruma: *eyes her wearily* Nandemonai...

Sayaka: *patpats Sumire* ^^;;

Tetsuya: So it would seem, yes... *sighs and shakes his head, chuckling softly*

Sumire: ^_^;

Yukari: Sumire-chan just loves everybody, I think. ^^;

Sumire: Sou~ ne! >^-^

Kenta: I love you, Tet-cha~n!^^

Hiro: *sniggers* And there you go...

Iruma: *shakes his head and rolls his eyes*

Sayaka: It's not such a bad thing, Yukari-san...^^;

Tetsuya: Yeah, yeah...

Sumire: >^-^<

Yukari: She's a good girl. ^^

Kenta: Mou...*pouts, looks to Hiro* He doesn't believe me, Hiro-kun.

Hiro: *chuckles* I see that, Ken-kun...

Ken: Mou...

Iruma: Mm...*shakes his head again*

Sayaka: ^^

Tetsuya: Who says I don't believe you?

Sumire: ^^

Yukari: Maa ne. ^^

Kenta: So you do?^^

Hiro: *chuckles*

Iruma: *sighs, shaking his head* I'm going ne? *standing*

Sayaka: Maaa Iruma-san, where're you going?

Tetsuya: Yare, yare... I do, I do... *sighs*

Sumire: Sou ne Iruma-san, where're ya going? ^^

Kenta: Yaaaay!^^

Hiro: *chuckles*

Iruma: Somewhere...

Sayaka: Can we come?^^

Tetsuya: *rolls his eyes, chuckling vaguely* You're a menace, did you know that Kenta?

*gigglesnort* Oh my. Poor Iruma...

Sumire: Na, sou ne! I wanna come too, ne Saya-chan? >^-^

Kenta: I know.^^

Hiro: *sighs, smiling vaguely* Yare, yare...

Sou ne...^^;;

Iruma: *stares at them blankly*

Sayaka: Can we, can we? Please?^^

Tetsuya: *chuckles softly* And of course you don't care...

Ahahaha... ^^;;;

Sumire: Naaaaa... Iruma-saaa~n! *bounces slightly* Na, can we please? ^^

Kenta: Hm? Don't care about what?^^ *looking at him curiously*

Hiro: Maaa...

I really have no idea where he's going really...^^;;

Iruma: ...-_-

Sayaka: Ne, ne?>^-^< Could we?

Tetsuya: *shakes his head* That you're a menace...

Ahaha... ^^;;; Well, wherever it is, apparently Sayaka and Sumire want to go with him...

Sumire: Naaaa~ Iruma-saaaaan~ >^-^

Kenta: Oh...*chuckles* Sou ne!!^^

Hiro: *shrugs*

Yeah...^^;; You know? I think Iruma would go and hang out with Takeru too sometimes. I don't know why.^^;; Probably something to do with the J-rock thing. He might have a slight inkling for the fashion too, though of course he wouldn't be as all out.^^

Iruma: I'm going to go look for Takeru...

Sayaka: *squeals* He's out looking for clothes! We so need to go with you, Iruma-san!^^

Tetsuya: Exactly... *shakes his head vaguely* Maa ne...

*gigglesnort* And Sumire is supposed to be with Takeru eventually, so Iruma's completely stuck with her, isn't he? Ahaha! And Saya is with Hansa... *sniggers* Oh. Also. Takeru is around 16 years old, and Miyako is a year younger, so 15. *shrugs* I just decided that randomly... ^^;;;

Sumire: *bounces* Souuuu neeeee!! >^-^< I wanna go see Takeru-san!

Hiro: *chuckles, sighing, eyebrow quirking* Na? And what's got them excited over there?

Kenta: *chuckling* Takeru and his fan girls...^^ Maaa...

*sniggers* So doomed.^^;; Which'd probably have Iruma looking for some quiet company and eventually he'll probably find himself spending time with Yukari, ne?^_~ *giggles* You know what? I could imagine Takeru just going out with Sayaka and Sumire sometimes and he'd dress them.^^

Sayaka: Pleeeeeeeee~ase, Iruma-san? *making puppy dog eyes*

Iruma: *slight eyebrow TICK*

Tetsuya: *rolls his eyes* At least I'm not the only one with that particular problem...

Hey! That works! And now we have a reason for Iruma and Yukari to get together! >^-^< Na... you mean Takeru would like, dress them? As in pick out awesome j-rock outfits for them? I think they'd like that. ^^;

Sumire: Naaaaa, Iruma-san! O~ne~ga~iiiiiii~? >^-^

Kenta: *chuckles, glancing at Tetsuya* I don't think it's hardly a problem for Takeru, Tetsuya...

Hiro: Sou ne. Since he enjoys having them around.^^

That we do!^^ Yay! And yes, Takeru would just pick out clothes for them and stuff...which is probably why they're both begging Iruma right now.^^;;

Iruma: Yare, yare...*nods*

Sayaka: YAY!^^ *GLOMPSHUGGLES Iruma*

Iruma: -_-;;;;

Tetsuya: Yeah, well... I guess he does seem to like them for the most part...

Probably. ^^;; I think Sumire would like going clubbing or whatever with Takeru, actually, once they're together... ^_^;; Though I don't think Dekiru would be entirely thrilled with that idea. ^^;;;

Sumire: WAAAI~ *bounces excitedly* ARIGATOU IRUMA-SAN! >^-^

Kenta: *chuckles and sighs* Guess having them wear clothes of his choice would be interesting.^^

Hiro: Though sometimes his choices could be pretty scandalous at times.^^; Remember that outfit he picked for Sayaka last time? I kept on wondering if what she was wearing was actually a skirt...^^;;

*giggles* Takeru is turning out to be so much fun isn't he?^^ Yeah, though I doubt Dekiru would like that very much...*pokes Dekiru*

Iruma: Yeah, yeah...*SIGHS* Kindly let go...

Sayaka: Mmm!^^ *huggles more before letting go* Thank you!^^

Tetsuya: *shrugs* Saya-chan likes what he picks anyway... *snorts softly* Though I had doubts about that last outfit myself...

He is. ^^ And he's so laid back and generally cheerful that he's probably tons of fun to hang out with too. >^-^;; Ahaha... but yeah, given his taste in clothing, I don't think Dekiru would be thrilled with him picking outfits for his youngest daughter...

Sumire: Heehee! >^-^

Hiro: *shakes his head* I thought it was only me who had misgivings...

Kenta: I'm sure a lot of boys in town didn't though, Hiro.^^;;

He wouldn't be thrilled and he'd always be asking what was the point of what she was wearing and whatnot...*shrugs* "Is this still considered clothing, Sumire-chan?" "Of course, Chichihue!^^ Cute ne?" "=_=;;;"

Iruma: *sighs* Well are we going?

Sayaka: Okay.^^ Na, *looks to Tetsuya* We're going with Iruma-san to look for Takeru-kun, niichan! I'll be back before dinner.^^

Tetsuya: Yes, well... *sniffs vaguely* It was the boys in town that I had a problem with, really...

Tetsuya's a little protective sometimes, I guess. ^^;; Though Sumire's got it worse with Dekiru, obviously. ^_~ And on a completely random note, Sumire's hair is modelled after Sakura from CCS, only a little longer. ^^

Sumire: Sou! Let's go! ^^

Tetsuya: *sighs and waves a hand* I know... don't let him dress you in anything too scandalous, ne Saya-chan...

Kenta: *grinning* Awww, Tetsuya acting all brotherly-like.^^

Hiro: Well he has the right to worry...*shakes his head* She doesn't know it, but Saya-chan is good-looking...

I see.^^ Looks cute. What's her hair and eye colors?

Sayaka: Scandalous on whoose definition, Niichan? ^_~

Iruma: *sighs and shakes his head*

Kenta: Maaa...You'll get into trouble, Sayaka. *chuckling vaguely, shaking his head*

Hiro: Sou...

Tetsuya: Please don't talk about my sister like that, Hiro... -_-;

Her hair is browny-red (more red than brown) but I haven't decided what color her eyes should be. Hmm... what do you think?

Tetsuya: Scandaous by my definition, Sayaka. *eyes her* If I have to beat the boys back with a stick, you're showing too much skin, okay?

Sumire: *gigglesnort* Maaaa... >^-^;;

Hiro: Shutting up about Sayaka as a girl now, yes. *nods*

Kenta: *chuckles* Sou, sou.^^ Sayaka-chan isn't a girl. She's a force of nature.^^

Hm...Jade-green I think? *shrugs* I don't really know...

Sayaka: *giggles softly* All right, all right. No super-short skirts or anything like that, okay. I get it, Niichan.^^

Iruma: *shakes his head again*

Tetsuya: It just freaks me out a bit, Hiro... *shakes his head*

Green would work, I guess. ^^ That's Miku's eye color, isn't it?

Tetsuya: Good. *sighs* Last time was too much for me... and you practically gave Tousan a heart attack when you came home and he saw what you were wearing. =_=;;

Sumire: Let's go, let's go! >^-^

Hiro: I know, I know...

Kenta: Not like he's going to marry Saya-chan now ne?^^

Hiro: *sighs, shaking his head* Stop giving him images, Kenta...

Yep.^^ Hunter green...Maaa...Poor Yasuo.^^;;

Sayaka: I'll be good.^_~

Iruma: Yare, yare...*shakes his head, looking to Tetsuya wearily* I'll keep an eye on her...

Tetsuya: Kenta... =_=;;;

Cool. Green, then. ^^; Naaaa... Yasuo doesn't freak out like Dekiru would, though. ^^;;;

Tetsuya: *eyebrows raise* Good luck on that, Iruma. *chuckles softly* Thanks, though...

Sumire: >^-^

Hiro: *SIGHS* Stop it ne?

Kenta: I think it's kind of funny, but I'll stop I think yeah...^^;

I'm sure.^^;; Yasuo'd probably just stare and make a few comments and shake his head. Dekiru would stare and demand what in the seven hells Sumire was wearing.^^;;

Iruma: Aa...*nods, shakes his head* She's trouble, I know...

Sayaka: Mou. *pouts* I don't need a babysitter...

Tetsuya: Seriously. =_=; This is my sister, Kenta... so yeah, stopping would be good...

Basically... I think Sachi would be the one who had to deal with it, or maybe Tetsuya. Yasuo would be like "uh..." and just completely blank out. ^^;;; *gigglesnort* And Sumire would be going "what am I wearing? Clothing, Chichihue! Na, don't be silly!" >^-^<

Tetsuya: A lot of trouble sometimes... *SIGHS*

Sumire: Come on, come on! Maaaa... *pokes Iruma* Saya-chan and I'll be good, so let's just go! ^^

Kenta: Okay, okay!^^;; Stopping with the images now...

Hiro: *SIGHS again, shaking his head*

Sachi would be scandalized, I think.^^;; She'd just be looking at her shocked and scandalized and asking if she knew that she was wearing practically nothing.^^; *sniggers* I'm sure Dekiru would have a lot to say to Sumire about that...^^;;

Iruma: Aa...

Sayaka: Let's goooooo~! *tugging on Iruma* Takeru-kun's somewhere with cute clothes!^^

Tetsuya: Good. =_=;;

I think Sachi would be okay... she would freak out, but I can see her being scandalized to a certain extent, yeah. ^^;;; Like I said, Yasuo would just stare blankly. I guess Tetsuya's probably the one that would deal with it...

Sumire: Come on, come on! Maaaa~! >^-^

Kenta: ^_^;;

Hiro: *eyeing him warily*

*chuckles* Tetsuya's such a good brother, really.^^

Iruma: Yare, yare...*nods to Tetsuya-tachi and walks off*

Sayaka: *waves at Tetsuya* I'll be good, really.^^ Ja!^_~ Kenta-san, Hiro-san byeeeeeeeeee!!

Kenta: *waving* ^^

Hiro: Be careful ne?

Sayaka: I will.^^

Tetsuya: *sighs and shakes his head*

Na, he is. ^^ He takes care of her when he can. ^_~

Sumire: Na, wait up~! *giggles, skipping after Iruma* Jaaaaa neeee~

I'm sure he can most of the time.^^

Kenta: And there they go. To get outfitted by Takeru...

Hiro: *shakes his head* I do hope Iruma manages to keep his promise...

Most of the time. ^^;;

Tetsuya: *sighs* This could be bad, regardless of Iruma's intentions...

Ah...Yeah..^^;;

Kenta: Well...At least he has good intentions of trying to keep them in line.^^;;

Hiro: I doubt he'd be enough to control them...

Tetsuya: Sometimes Saya-chan is a royal pain in the butt... =_=;;

Kenta: Ah...Sou.^^;;

Hiro: *shakes his head* Good luck to whoever marries her in the future...

*sniggers*

Tetsuya: *sniggersnort* Maa ne Hiro... she's a pain, but she's not that bad...

Poor Hansa... ^^;;;

Hiro: *shrugs* Still saying good luck just in case she is that bad with the one she's married to...

Kenta: *chuckles softly*

He'll be okay.^^;;

Tetsuya: Aa, I guess... *sighs, shaking his head* She just blows with the wind, different with different people...

I know he will... but still. ^^;;;

Kenta: Sou ne.^^ She's not really as annoying as she is with you with anyone else now is she?

Hiro: *chuckles softly, looking to Kenta* Depends on what you find annoying I suppose...

Yeah, still.^^;;

Tetsuya: I guess she's my sister, so she's supposed to annoy me. *shrugs* Whatever... she seems lovable enough to everyone else...

^^;

Kenta: I believe so.^^

Hiro: Of course you do. *snorts softly, chuckling softly* You spoil her, Kenta...

Tetsuya: *eyes Kenta vaguely* You do spoil her, actually...

Kenta: What?

Hiro: *shakes his head* Bad, bad Kenta...

Tetsuya: *frowns vaguely* Do you even realize you do it?

Kenta: *blinks* Uh...No?

Hiro: Well you better. And you got to stop.

Kenta: Maaa...^^;;

Tetsuya: Sayaka's spoiled enough as it is... =_=;;

Hiro: *patpats* Your Tousan can't deny her anything can he?^^;;

Kenta: Sou ne.^^;;

Tetsuya: Tousan dotes on her, yes. *sighs and shakes his head* She's daddy's little girl... which is probably why he was so shocked last week when he saw her in that skirt Takeru picked out for her...

Hiro: *shakes his head* Still thinks she's his little girl ne?

Kenta: Maaa...But it seemed so fast ne? *smiling vaguely, chuckling* It was like...Just yesterday, she was stumbling all over herself and you had to hold her hand so she could walk properly...Now...Well...*chuckles* You can't do that anymore.^^

Tetsuya: Aa... *smiles vaguely, fondly* Maa... well... at least back then she didn't chatter quite so much, ne? *chuckles softly*

Kenta: You taught her how to talk.^^

Hiro: And boy has she learned to talk ne? *shakes his head, chuckling softly*

Tetsuya: Yes, I did... *shakes his head sadly* And it's something I've regretted ever since...

Kenta: *chuckles* You don't mean that.^^

Hiro: I do recall you saying that it was kind of annoying since all she could say back then was "nyiichan" and "dork", aside from the customary "Tousan" and "Kaasan". *sniggers*

Tetsuya: Who taught her to say "dork" anyway? =_=;;

Hiro: I have no idea. *chuckles softly*

Kenta: Maybe she just heard it from somewhere...^^; It was kind of funny ne?

Tetsuya: Funny to everyone else except me. *rolls his eyes* At least she doesn't call me "Tet-chan" like some people I know...

Kenta: *chuckles* Would you rather I called you "nyiichan dork", Tet-chan?^^

Hiro: *sniggers* XD

Tetsuya: I bet it was you who taught her to say "dork". =_=;;

Kenta: Me? Naaa...No.^^ My Mom through Akai-sama taught me to say "dolt" not "dork". Sorry.^^

Hiro: Oh my goodness...*sniggers*

Tetsuya: *chuckles and shakes his head* I can just picture the look on Josei-san's face the first time you said that, too... ^^;;;

Kenta: Much like how Hikaru-san looked at me when I said he was a "bad,bad kid".^^

Hiro: *sniggers* And you seem pretty proud that you caused so much havoc as a child...

Tetsuya: "Havoc" is putting it lightly, I think... *chuckles, shaking his head* Poor Hikaru-san... he really does get picked on, doesn't he?

Hiro: *chuckles softly, nods* He does.

Kenta: I guess he's just fun to pick on.^^;;

Tetsuya: Na, and you don't help Kenta. *chuckles, shaking his head* Maa...

Kenta: Maa, it's not like I bother him anymore you know. *chuckles*

Hiro: It's good you don't.

Tetsuya: Sou ne... Hikaru-san gets picked on enough by your mother, ne Kenta? ^_~

Kenta: Right, right.^^ Tousan and I just leave him alone.

Hiro: *sighs* It's a good thing Hikaru-san is a sport ne? He doesn't let it get to him all too much...

Kenta: Sure...So long as Kira-san doesn't get into the conversation.^^;;

Tetsuya: I actually get the impression that Hikaru-san doesn't really appreciate Kira-san's sense of humor all the time... ^^;;

Hiro: *sniggers* Probably because it's always at his expense that Kira-san laughs...

Kenta: Kira-san could be terrible, yeah...^^;

Tetsuya: *shrugs* But no one likes to be teased, so I don't blame him. ^^ Personally, I like Kira-san...

Kenta: Everyone does.^^ Well...except for Seiya-san...

Hiro: Mm...*chuckles softly* Seiya-san and Kira-san never got along, my Tousan always said so...

Tetsuya: Aa, sou ne... ^^;;; I'd heard that, too... uh, does anyone know why they don't get along, though?

Kenta: Ah...Aoi-san always did say it happened even before training.^^;; They met somewhere as children and just rubbed on each other the wrong way...

Hiro: *sighs* Something about ice cream, I think...

Tetsuya: *shakes his head* Maa ne... sounds like them alright...

Hiro: *nods* Very petty...So them...

Kenta: *chuckles softly* They're like children sometimes.^^

Tetsuya: They are, aren't they? *shakes his head* Jeez...

Hiro: *chuckles* Well...Tousan did say they have always been pains in the butt...

Kenta: Aa...^^;;

And I'm off once more for school...Maaa...:(

Tetsuya: Every generation has a few people who are a pain, I guess. ^^;;

*waves* See ya later. ^^

Hiro: Never can be without those I think. *pokes Kenta* We have one over here...

Kenta: ^^

Back.^^

Tetsuya: Exactly. ^_~ And everyone loves them even if they are a huge pain at times, ne?

Hiro: *chuckles* Yeah...

Kenta: Hee.>^-^

Tetsuya: *sighs, shaking his head* Yeah...

Kenta: So what do we talk about next?^^

Hiro: *chuckles, sighing, flicking his bangs back absently* I don't know...

Tetsuya: *shrugs* Doesn't really matter to me...

Kenta: Hm...

Hiro: *chuckles, sighing*

Tetsuya: *yawns vaguely* Maybe we should just go do something. I'm a little bored, actually...

Kenta: Okay then.^^ Any ideas?

Hiro: *shrugs* I dunno...

Tetsuya: Um... arcade? I don't know...

Kenta: Sounds good.^^ Hey, maybe Nao-tachi would be there. Cool!^^

Hiro: *chuckles* It's funny how we could just address them like that and they don't mind...

Tetsuya: Address them like what? *eyebrows raise*

Kenta: Oh you know?^^ With Nao-san you could just call him "Nao" and he won't really care. Same thing goes for Kyouta-san and Ryuu-san.

Hiro: I guess it just doesn't matter to them. *shrugs*

Tetsuya: Aa, sou ne... *chuckles softly, shugging vaguely* They don't really care... besides which, they aren't actually all that much older than us, so I guess it doesn't matter...

Kenta: They actually are...^^;; It's just hard to remember most of the time. *chuckles*

Hiro: Maa...*shakes his head* What is age around here anyway?

Tetsuya: *shrugs* They're around the same age as Suzuki-tachi, ne? That's not too much older. *shakes his head vaguely* But you're right Hiro, it doesn't matter anyway...

Hiro: Because no one ages...*shakes his head* Maaa, you know sometimes I wonder if people around here, the older ones, if they get sick of living for so long sometimes...

Kenta: *shrugs* Maybe they do...

Tetsuya: Things must get boring after a while, ne? *sighs, shaking his head* Though I guess we'll know for ourselves eventually, won't we? Maa...

Kenta: Aa...*nods, then smiling again* Meanwhile...^^

Hiro: *chuckles, shaking his head* Aa...We were going ne?

Tetsuya: Sou ne. *waves one hand vaguely* Come on, let's go then...

Kenta: *salutes* Aye, aye captain.^^

Hiro: Coming, coming...*following*

Degus? Pet rock?

*gigglesnort* A "degu" is a South African Ground Squirrel. ^^ They're cute... look a lot like our squirrells, but without the poofy tail. ^^ I got Bedrock and Granite a few years ago.

You have ground squirrels named Bedrock and Granite? That's so cute! *looks up Degu* Aww! They look like little fat hamsters! I want one!

*giggles* I love them. ^^ They're affectionate as hell, and love being picked up/played with/cuddled; they've never bitten anyone (and given that they're rodents, that's a big deal); they're diabetic (can's have sugar-y stuff) and when they're happy they kind of chirp like birds. ^^;;;

Back when I got them, they were just coming into the pet stores, but they're pretty common now. ^^ You feed them Chinchilla food and take care of them as if they were hamsters, only apparently you're supposed to give them dust baths every coupld of days. ^^;

I'm gonna have to go look for them. I want one now! I'd never heard of them before.

Hope you feel better soon. Pneumonia=hell.
