Alchemy Lesson [Edward + Minako]

[fullxmetal-deactivated20120420]

Edward couldn’t help but smile. Yeah, it felt nice when people actually took note of his talents. It wasn’t really the easiest thing to do to become a state alchemist at his age. Also, he was happy with the fact that this school taught something about alchemy! Maybe passing this school wouldn’t be so hard. Not that it would be anyway, being that Edward always had his nose in the books.

All the sudden, Edward was pulled out of his reverie as Minako pulled on his arm. Suddenly, he was being dragged throughout the many different hallways of Shibuku Academy. As if Edward wasn’t lost enough, now he was going to have to try and figure his way out of this mess.

While they were running, Edward’s golden gaze caught onto others pointing and whispering. Oh great just what I need, people startin’ rumors. All Edward wanted to do was do his time at this stupid school, then get back to the important matters.

Edward stumbled a bit as Minako stopped them and let go of his arm. Shaking his head, he shoved his hands in his pockets once more. “It’s nothin’. I understand.” His eyes swept over the room they were now in. Ah the library…. He had a feeling no one would come in here. At least no one prone to spreading stupid rumors.

When blonde heard her request he canted his head a bit. There wasn’t any reason why he couldn’t. Plus it gave him a reason to talk about something he loved. Shrugging his shoulders a bit, he smirked. “Sure why not? What do ya need to know?”

[flutterbyfool-blog]

" ah..thanks!". Minako's grin widened, glad that she was able to come across someone like Edward who was so understanding. Even if his lack of height was somewhat hard to ignore for the brunette, who had made friends with boys her age who were always taller than her.

Oh well, she did not really want to point it out at the moment. This will probably come off as rude, and she did not really want to ruin her chances of having someone who could help her out right now.

" Er well....". Minako fumbled for a moment, taking out a notebook from her school bag. As she flipped through the pages, she inwardly thought that it was pretty weird for her academy to suddenly be interested in a magical art such as alchemy; considering that Shibuku was an academy for delinquents. Wouldn't that be a bit unsettling if they were to practice such a dangerous art?

Pulling up a chair near them, she sat, placing her notebook at the wooden table. She motioned for Edward to do the same at the seat in front of her. At this the brunette opening up light conversation once again. 

 " Ok...". Clearing her throat, her crimson eyes pored over the first question laid out before her. " So..alchemy is the ancient meta-physical science / mystical art of manipulating and altering matter by using natural energy...this act is known as transmutation". 

She put up a pencil underneath her chin. " Seems like it has a so called sequence for some reason.....I wanna know what that sequence is".

Having focused all of his concentration on abating the sparks from the firecracker, Suzaku had completely neglected to notice the person hanging by a single hand on a nearby ledge. Fortunately, it hadn’t escaped the attention of the young woman who saw to the matter, fixing his gaze on her while she pulled their fellow student back into the security, for now, of the smoke filled classroom. A small flinch was given at the tone of voice she used to scold the other, a pang of empathy going out to the male who didn’t appear phased by the grueling.He’d opted to stay mute, at least until green orbs met with crimson ones again, with the implicated query, Suzaku quickly packed the now emptied water bottle back into his rucksack springing to his feet a hand extended towards her in greeting. “Suzaku, Suzaku Kururugi!” 

An amiable smile stretched across his countenance in return to the one she had presented to him. “It’s a pleasure to meet you miss errr…” A pause settled while he awaited the female to divulge her own name, if she wanted to. She was obviously somewhat of a peace maker around her, or at least someone who liked to preserve a sense of order, which in a setting like that one was a commendable act. Even if she had initially startled him with her small outburst.

[flutterbyfool-blog]

Minako took his hand into hers, reflecting the smile on his face. " Minako Arisato! But uh, you don't need to call me miss. That sounds a bit too formal for me". Withdrawing her hand away from his, she scratched the edge of her cheek lightly with her index finger. Why is it that all of the transfer students who were guys seem to call her that way?

 " Suzaku-kun.....huh". Minako put up a finger underneath her chin, appearing like someone who was thinking about something very hard- even if the reason for her thinking so seriously like that is merely because of his name.

 If I call him Suzaku-kun.....won't that sound too redundant? Maybe I should make up some kind of nickname for him...something that wont' sound too stupid....something like...like..." Suzakun!". Minako burst out loud, her hands forming into a prayer like position upon the declaration of her new nickname for the brunette in front of her.

 " Suzakun. That's what I'm gonna call you from now on". She smiled innocently, entwining her hands behind her back. She spun around, doing a one hundred eighty to face away from him. " It's cute, and it won't sound too redundant". As if to settle the matter, the brunette took a plastic bag from her backpack, picking up the litters on the ground.

 Opening up conversation again, she turned her head slightly to look back again at Suzaku. " You know....Suzakun doesn't really look like the type of person to be sent here at an academy for delinquents".

 Dropping a wrapper of candy to the plastic bag, the brunette now fully turned back to the other; tilting her head lightly. "......were you....framed or something?".

The girl nodded, smiling that the other seemed to enjoy the present that her brother had given her! Maybe he’d been taking lessons from Kanba, or maybe he was finally realising girls needs? Well at least that was reliving!

“Mhm, sometimes Sho-chan just needs to be pushed in the right direction!” she laughed at that, and waved her hand in front of the other. “I’m sure he’d even say that your present was enough!” Being a Takakura was legitimately suffering, and anything they received as a gift was honestly more than enough; but Himari couldn’t speak for Shoma now so it was probably wrong of her to say something like that.

But for someone who said one of the greatest joys’ was eating dinner with her family, yeah that was something that her big mouth had to mention.

“Christmas was very fun! I spent the day with Kan-chan, and Sho-chan and we unwrapped presents, and sang Christmas songs, and we had such fun! It was one of the most joyful times I’ve ever had!” This year they didn’t have to worry about Himari’s illness which was good for her, and it made her completely forget about it also. “I had no troubles, and I hope you had a good Christmas as well, Minako-chan~? And that you stayed out of trouble too!”

Himari could really talk about Christmas forever so it was better that she stopped herself now before she got so far into the conversation she completely forgot what she was talking about! That happened to her sometimes, and usually she would go on a tangent similar to the one from before.

“Mhm!” Himari respond again, with a fond smile on her lips. “Kan-chan is my brother as well! Kan-chan, and Sho-chan are the best brothers in the whooole world~♥!” Of course she would say that giving the fact they were her only brothers in the world, but now wasn’t time to dwell over that! Some might disagree, but to her Kanba, and Shoma are her world. “Kan-chan really loves stuff cabbages, so I like to make them for him whenever he would like—!”

Seems like he’s a bit popular with the girls, from what I heard.

Oh, so he was back to his old ways? Himari puffed her cheeks out, and waved a finger in front of her own face.

“He’s a bit of a playboy, but I promise Minako-chan that he means well!” Hopefully really Kanba hadn’t done anything to the girl, and never will but it was good to warn somebody; wasn’t it? A bit was an understatement, and Himari was curious to know what flocked all the girls to her redbro, because she did love him with all her heart but there was a dark secret that she was quite unaware of.

Himari rarely got embarrassed but when she did, oh boy did the young girl ever get so flustered! The Takakura rubbed the side of her arm sheepishly, and let out another laugh. “Do you have any siblings, Minako-chan?” her head tilted as a dainty fabric caught her eye, but Himari wasn’t going to rush of now! That would be quite rude.

“Oh, no no!” Aww jeez, maybe she was bad at this making friends thing? “T-that’s my fault, and I feel bad for not remembering you..” Really Himari did! She should’ve been more aware, but she was so so nervous speaking up in front of the class and listening to others she sort of tuned out for a little. It often happened when she was in a crowded place, because her nervousness always got the better of her.

She nodded, smiling again now forgetting about her earlier mishap it seemed to be understandable to the brunette, but Himari still wanted to tell her she didn’t forget on purpose!

“They do, and you shouldn’t be envious!” Now Minako-chan was going to be her nee-chan, everything would be much better! Himari would make sure Minako never felt lonely, and would always try to cheer the brunette up as much as she could. “Now we can be family♥!”

Himari beamed at her nods, and nodded franticly thinking how right she was! Blue was the colour she always wore, well when the girl wasn’t in her school uniform! It was like Minako could read her mind, and know exactly what she wanted. It was such a relief to be shopping with someone who knew what they were talking about!

“Ah, Minako-chan! That sounds perfect!” she let out a little squeal, her eyes darting towards the other. “Red? It’s a beautiful colour, it reminds me of apples and your eyes are pretty!” Such a jumble of words this one was today, but she in return wanted to help Minako find the perfect dress!

[flutterbyfool-blog]

Minako gave a light chuckle at what Himari said about Shoma, somehow feeling like she really did know her brother a lot. That was quite a surprise these days. Even in anime and video games, imouto type charas often come up with lots of excuses not to get too close to their brothers, even if they do think otherwise.

At Himari's next statement, she rubbed the back of her head, heat rising up to her cheeks. " Y-You think so? Well I guess if Himari-chan says so, then I guess it's true". Deep inside though, she still hoped that she would be able to make this up to Shoma somehow....that cookbook she bought (even if it was a bestseller) just can't compare to a homemade gift. Her cookbook did not house any feelings. Just a pricetag.

" I'm glad that you three are so close to each other. It's pretty sad to say, but it's not something you regularly see nowadays". How ironic it was for her, who did not have any siblings; to say something like she knew a lot about it.

She shook her head, turning her attention to what the orange haired girl said next. " Um..yeah! Christmas was pretty fun for me too! My dorm mates and I also did what you guys did at that time...and oh! I think we had a snowball fight too". The brunette hoped that the snowball fight would take the other girl's mind off the 'other trouble' part. Truthfully, she had encountered quite a lot of trouble during the holidays, but she did not really want to confess such an unsightly occurrence to Himari. 

Minako wished actually, that Himari would continue on telling more about her wonderful Christmas experience with her family. Hearing such tales made her even more envious of the orange haired girl yes, but it was nice hearing such happy stories at this time and age. It was like watching a trailer of this awesome movie you've been wanting to watch for weeks. You can't help but crave for more after seeing the sneak-peek.

" Don't worry about it Himari-chan. I'm sure that Kanba-kun means well. Actually...I don't really think he's much of a playboy....I guess it's just because girls flock to him for some reason I don't know". She then shrugged, leaning against a pillar nearby. "...maybe Kanba-kun just didn't know how to shrug them off". She put up a finger underneath her chin. "....Perhaps he's just being a gentleman that way." Wow. For the first time, Minako was being pretty oblivious.

Minako turned away from Himari at her next question, pretending to be extremely interested at a particular dress nearby. " I'm an only child..but um! I do enjoy being one". It was pretty rude of her to turn away from someone she's talking to, but she can't bring herself to lie to Himari's face. She would've said the truth out right- that she wasn't happy being an only child at all; but she really didn't want to dampen the already happy mood with unnecessary angst.

" R-really it's ok Himari-chan! I'm sure you didn't forget me on purpose". Minako waved her hands around, dropping it to her sides and feeling relieved once Himari finally had let go of the issue.

The brunette can't help but imitate Himari's happy expression. One just can't help but be drawn to her...even if she looked pretty frail, she was always so cheerful...what a strong girl she is.

" I'm really happy that Himari-chan thinks so". Minako then held up her pinky finger, a smile gracing her features. " It's a promise then! I'll always be around to protect you....and Himari-chan will be by my side...right?". It really did feel like she had a little sister right now. Not that she's complaining. Having a little sister this cute was sure to make anybody enviable by everybody.

The brunette was glad that the orange-haired girl seemed to like her suggestion, and supported the color of the gown she wanted. Shopping with female friends really was the best! If she was with a male friend of hers, he would've been complaining or wasn't interested...or perhaps he would've suggested something that would show off more skin than needed.

 She pumped a fist into the air, excited about the prospect of hunting down the perfect dress. " Alright! Let's do our best to find the perfect dress for us, Himari-chan!".

I swear I need glasses or braincells or something!

I’m so sorry-again!

 don't worry really~ mun's all cool with it ^^

[dominirovat]

folie a deux ; [open/intro]

Well this definitely wasn’t the escape plan Kida was expecting.

Not that he could complain, because it was a hell of a lot better than whatever else could have happened to him. He knew how tough the city cops were especially when it came to gang-related anything: he could have easily landed in some crap kiddie jail or with a shit ton of community service, but the judge was kind enough to send him to whatever this place was. Rehab school. He heard some officers talk about how the place was gaining in popularity recently? Guess the world was turning into shit even faster nowadays. As much as he wanted both of them nearby, Kida really hoped Anri and Mikado wouldn’t end up here too.

Perhaps he had to thank the fact that he was feeling kind enough to be compliant with the police who picked him up, and hell, maybe whatever he said would help end the shitstorm still (most likely) looming over Ikebukuro. That place really did suck as much as remembered in the begining; Mikado being there didn’t change anything. Maybe it made things worse, having to not only look out for himself but his best friend and suddenly this other person…

With a sigh he pulled the phone out of his coat pocket, giving it a blank stare before shoving back in. No messages, just the face of him and his two closest friends and a clock reading 6:30pm. Maybe he should go uptown and get food, explore the area now that everything was strange to him. Yes, it was the best course of action for now, and with that the blonde trudged out the front door of dorm B and into the chilly winter air.

Who knows, he might even find someone to join him.

[flutterbyfool-blog]

Minako couldn't believe her eyes as her clock presented a horrible revelation right before her very eyes. It was already 6:30 PM...just thirty minutes more until seven.

She gulped to herself, then immediately bounded out of bed; her normally relaxed expression now showing panic and disbelief. How could she sleep for more than three hours during midday? It was practically like an alien mothership had taken the real Minako's soul and had replaced it with a new one. That's just how unexpected this sudden turn of events is. She wasn't really someone who could oversleep like that.

After doing whatever she does before going on a trip, the brunette locked the door behind her; then dropped the key back into her pocket. She hoped that she'll be able to get back home early. Reveru isn't really a place she liked to walk around alone, especially at night. Sure it was still early, but the insanely long line at Millenium Mall's bookstore would probably make sure of the fact that she'll be going home late.

Taking out a crumpled piece of paper from her skirt pocket, she brought it up at eye-level; scrutinizing it's contents. " Um..let's see...things to buy for the new semester....lead erasers , plastic envelopes, HB pencils...and f-".

Due to her head being the clouds yet again, the brunette failed to notice the blonde that was innocently passed by; leading to an unfortunate but inevitable collision.

 Minako backed up a bit from the impact, then instinctively put up a fist to her chest; looking quite embarrassed from bumping into someone accidentally...again. " I'm sorry...I wasn't paying attention to where I was going....".

Oh but wait Minako, where did that little paper of yours go? As if reading her mun's mind, the brunette turned her attention to her hand, that now lay bare. " Wait...my list of...things to buy.....". 

Tsk tsk. How unfortunate.

It made Himari smile so much to hear that Minako knew Shoma! “Secret Santa? I hope Sho-chan got you something nice!” He had no clue with girls did he? So hopefully whatever the girl received was something she could actually use.

She blushed again at Minako’s comment, giggling just the right amount. No one had ever called her cute before, well someone that she had just met moments before but it made her oddly happy, something she couldn’t explain. Himari herself found Shoma to be quite cute, but she could hardly have these weird thoughts.

Her purple hues looked at the ground for just a second as Minako said those dreaded words. It was only something Himari herself had recently found out, and what would people think if they knew none of the siblings were related?

“I-um..” she looked up at the brunette, to rub the back of her neck nonchalantly as to say Himari had some kind of excuse for this. “No! I look much like my mother, but Sho-chan has her pretty eyelashes! And then we have Kan-chan, he’s here too!”

Hopefully that would be a nice enough save, the youngest Takakura mused over just as the brunette hugged her quite tightly and she felt her cheeks flush once more most likely into a deeper shade of red. “Oh—! I don’t really greet people without a honorific..” she let out a strange sort of embarrassed giggle, but Himari still couldn’t stop smiling.

How does one who isn’t so used to having compliments, take them? Himari was feeling a little overwhelmed, but more so happy!

“P-protect?” Himari’s eyes widened, feeling a odd sense of safety from her new “sisters” words! She’d never had someone wanting to protect her that wasn’t Kan-chan, or Sho-chan and Himari hadn’t ever had any sort of sisterly figure while growing up so this was oh so exciting! “That would be nice of you, Minako-chan!”

She was starting to become excited now, as the only other female interaction she ever had was with her best friend Ringo-chan, but this was something more! Maybe this was something Himari had needed for so long, and something that she longed for.

Her eyes were still fixated on the brunette, and she shook her head feeling a little more embarrassed now. She felt silly not remembering Minako-chan from Orihara-sensei’s class.

“I’m sorry!” Himari apologised, bowing her head low out of embarrassment. “That was the first ever class I had ever attended before, and I was nervous so I’m sorry that I didn’t remember you!” How could she forget though? Normally Himari did have a knack to remember one’s face, but she had remembered that class and being as nervous as she was could be quite understandable for her.

She grinned wide though hearing that her new friend was going to attend the ball as well, as Himari wasn’t exactly sure on who would attend now she wasn’t so afraid of whatever would come up, and it was so nice to talk about this with someone so sweet!

“Isn’t it? My brothers don’t understand, but they take me wherever I want to go but I wanted to go shopping alone this time,” Himari gave a firm nod in response, laughing once more. “I’m so glad that you are going as well, Minako-chan! I’ve never been to a dance before, and it sounds so exciting!”

She nodded again, folding her hand into the side of her dress pocket to think about which type of dress she would like to have.

“Oh, well to my knee would be nice and my most favourite colour is blue, but I like white and pink also!” she started to rock backwards and forwards on her heel, turning her head from side to side in motion. “Do you know what type of dress you would like to wear?”

[flutterbyfool-blog]

Minako nodded cheerfully at Himari. " Yup! It's really cute~and since Shoma-kun did his best for my present I have to take extra good care of it". Truth be told, she wasn't expecting her secret santa to go all out on her present, and to take note of her favorite colors too. It was a relief that Minako was able to get Shoma as a partner.

" Though I don't think my present for him was good enough..". She sheepishly scratched the back of her head, somehow feeling that she needed to make it up to Shoma somehow.

Clearing her throat, Minako smiled briefly at Himari. " So um, how was your Christmas, Himari-chan? I hope not trouble came your way....". Because a lot of trouble definitely went mine. She added to herself mentally, remembering the firecracker event and how she almost lost all her money taking a particular foreign student to Reveru. But of course, Himari need not know that.

" Kan-chan...?". The brunette tilted her head for a second, her brows scrunching up on confusion as she tried to remember a 'Kan-chan'. " er..kan-chan....". She closed her eyes for a second, trying to bring back a particular memory of someone named Kan-chan. " ah". Looks like something came to mind. " The guy who said something about stuffed cabbages! And....". She poised finger underneath her chin, smiling lightly. ".....Karaku- er I mean, Takakura Kanba-kun right?". 

Now that they were on the topic, it was quite silly of her to forget. The redhead had left quite an impact on the brunette, which was because of the simple fact that he was sly enough to say something about stuffed cabbages, which no doubt that teacher liked enough to give him a ninety percent. He earned her respect that way.

But there was no way that she was going to admit it to anyone, least of all to the guy's sister. " hm~ yeah I know him. Seems like he's a bit popular with the girls, from what I heard". Not that she was one of them. None of the guys in Shibuku seemed to catch her attention when it came to those kinds of things. But not for long, she hoped. 

Minako could only smile warmly at the orange haired girl upon seeing her get all flustered. It was really endearing to see her that way, and Minako for one wanted to see her that way always. She had grown up all by herself, devoid of the affections of parents and siblings alike; due to being an only child and her parents being stupid workaholics to pay any attention to her, so having a 'little sister figure' was something which she somehow wanted to have. " I'm glad that you think so, Himari-chan". 

SOCIAL LINK ESTABLISHED.

The brunette waved her hands around, feeling a bit sorry that she had teased Himari for not remembering her. " I-it's fine, it' fine- I was only kidding..haha..". She rubbed the back of her head, looking quite sheepish. " It was understandable that you wouldn't remember me , we only had one class together after all". It's not like she was any better,seeing as she also had difficulty remembering that Kanba was also in their class.

 " hmhmhm~ seems like your brothers love you very much, Himari-chan...guess I'm a bit envious". No male had spoiled her that much...ever. Not even her father. Not even God. It was a bit depressing to think about really. In her opinion, Himari is very lucky. 

Minko smiled at Himari's enthusiasm in choosing a dress. It felt really nice to shop together with a fellow girl normally like this...it was like being with Yukari and Fuuka again. " I agree with that. A light color of blue would probably suit you". At this, she started circling around the orange-haired girl like a hawk, scrutinizing her figure. " Something with a balloon like skirt maybe...and a scrunched up top...". 

Her attention was then diverted upon hearing Himari's last question. " My dress huh..? Hmm..something just below the knees too I guess...and probably in shade of red to match my eyes". She would have opted for her gown to be shorter, but rules are rules.

[last-h-blog]

[last-h-blog]

Himari’s face started to grow hot, but she nodded at the other as she repeated the younger girls name. Maybe the brunette had became some kind of victim from Kan-chan, and— No wait this was good! She knew Sho-chan! A grave feeling of relief washed over Himari as she wouldn’t have to explain to the other about Kan-chan’s play-boy ways.

“You know, Sho-chan?” Her purplish eyes started to sparkle at the mere mention of her “brother” and she felt a little happier that he had at least made one friend here! Himari knew of course how difficult it was for Shoma to do that, as the two were quite similar in that sense but the red-head so far had made a few acquaintances at least! “Mhm! Sho-chan’s my brother, and he’s very special to me!”

Very special in fact and unknown to everyone else who thought that the Takakura’s were related, Himari simply wanted to continue going by that faux. She loved her family so much, and they were so beautiful to her.

Her head nodded at the honorific, and she smiled at the other now known as Minako. Himari’s head came back up from the bow, and she cleared her throat. “Minako-chan, uwaah such a pretty name!”

Himari watched the other, while her invisible penguin blinked once at twice at their new friend as she giggled nervously.

“Do you go to the school here? There’s a Yule Ball, and that’s why I’m here looking for a dress! Are you going too, Minako-chan?” So many questions, but hearing that Minako was looking for one— well she didn’t seem so sure, it did make Himari quite happy.

At her question, her head shook side-to-side and Himari pursed her lips together, with a small frown on her lips.

“I haven’t found anything I like, but I have to keep looking!” she giggled in return, turning her head to the side. “I wanted to find the prettiest dress, something that’s flows.. but I haven’t seen anything like that yet..” 

[flutterbyfool-blog]

" Yup!". Minako nodded, a smile on her face. " We just met the other day. I was his secret santa actually". Looks like her theory was correct. There was something quite wrong about this little picture though...." Himari-chan and Shoma-kun both are adorable~ But...". She narrowed her eyes a bit, tilting her head to one side. " You two don't quite look alike". Hmmm..maybe Himari took after her mother and Shoma took after his father...oh well. She then shrugged, deciding to leave it at that.

 Upon hearing Himari say her name, the older girl now squealed for real, hugging the younger orange-haired girl. " waahh~ Himari-chan really is so cute! It's ok, you can call me without an honorific if you want to!~".  Just seeing sweet and innocent Himari smile really was enough to make one's troubles go away. An automatic "healing effect", one might say.

A determined expression graced her features as she smiled down at the girl. " It's decided~! Minako-neechan will protect you from now on!". ((Minako you siscon, first there's your Hitagi oneesama, and now you're gonna make Himari your imouto? Oops. Looks like it's your mun's fault. Again. XD))

Upon withdrawing from hugging the orange haired girl, she tucked a lone strand of hair behind her right ear; nodding at what Himari last said. " Yup. I'm a third year in Shibuku Formal Academy. Boo...you didn't remember me Himari-chan? We're classmates in Orihara-sensei's class". Not that she really blamed the other girl for not remembering her. Minako wasn't really the type to stand out- well in comparison to her other classmates anyway.

The brunette fingered the fabric of an orange silk dress, nodding yet again at Himari's next question. " Yup! It seems like a fun event after all".

She was not at all bothered by the girl's questions. Most of the people she interacted with were either quiet or aloof individuals, so it a nice change of pace.

Placing her hands on her hips, Minako smiled brightly at Himari. "That's the spirit! Dress shopping is a serious matter for us girls after all". She put up a hand to her chin. " Something that flows...huh? How long do you want your gown to be anyway, Himari-chan? Just exactly below the knee or something that goes down to your feet?".

⌈On the First Day...⌋

[silverrival-deactivated20200606]

Rukia kept her eyes on the girl as she explained the situation with the students that appeared at this particular school. “That is rather strange.” She mused, wondering who on earth it could be explained, but then again, she only had one other school to compare it to here in the human world, and that was Karakura High. Not much of a data base for unbiased comparisons. 

A tiny smile pulled on her lips and she shook her head. “No, it sure doesn’t. But I’m guessing not all the students here are as calm and ah, ‘peaceful’. I’m willing to bet there are a more than a few pompous knuckle-heads running around, making a scene somewhere.” It was, unsurprisingly so, easier to speak with the girl once Rukia had dropped the act. Perhaps it made her more boring than the other girls nearby, for example, but it couldn’t really be helped. Rukia just simply wasn’t as carefree as they appeared to be.

With a blink, Rukia’s azure hue’s widened a bit at the slight change in topic. “Hm? Dorm?” Her eyebrows rose an increment. “No, can’t say I do. I was actually on my way to finding them, but it seems that I don’t really know the way from the main school building just yet. Maybe you could show me the way?”

[flutterbyfool-blog]

Minako nodded at the other girl, affirming her response. " yeah...well guess we can't do anything about it at this point. No use thinking about it". Still, now things like that should not be easily put aside. Better note it down for future reference. It might help her in busting out of this academy for the damned.

" haha well your bet is correct. Fights often happen around these parts, and a stupid classmate of mine threw a firecracker in the middle of the room just last week 'cuz he got a bit excited from the news of winter break". How weird it was that she was listing all these occurrences just now. Back when the brunette was still in Gekkoukan High, such events were quite rare. Then again, Gekkoukan is a private school so.....

At any rate, she was glad that Rukia had decided to drop her act. Though the raven haired girl seem to think that it made her boring, Minako found her to be much cooler this way. It also felt like Rukia had somehow at least trusted her to show her who she really is.

SOCIAL LINK ESTABLISHED.

She nodded at Rukia happily. " Sure. Glad to be of service! Don't worry, it's just a few meters away".  And with that, she motioned for the other girl to follow her; going east-bound.

Setsuna mulled over the offer momentarily. A tour? He supposed that could be beneficial to him. If not immediately, then at the very least, it could be beneficial in the long run. Knowing the layout of the facility might be needed in case of certain situations. 

“I suppose that would be alright.” The gundam pilot answered in his usual somewhat slow manner. Setsuna let out a bit of a sigh and slipped his hands into his pockets, nodding along to the girl’s words in agreement.

He started off in the direction of the stairs down from the roof, knowing that she’d follow along anyway. She kinda had to, in order to go along with this ‘tour’ of the school.

Minako followed alongside of him, humming a tune cheerfully with her arms behind her head. The silence might have intimidated others, but for some reason she found it to be the temporary epitome of a peace; sort of like a temporary break from the plethora of (if not exciting) unfortunate events that often happened to her due to a mischievous twist of fate ((oops. It's your mun's fault, Minako-haha)).

 The brunette then swung around, performing a one hundred-eighty degree turn as she faced the male yet again, walking backwards with her arms still behind her head. " Say Setsuna-kun, you're a foreigner right? Is this your first time in Japan?". Wouldn't surprise her anymore if he was one. Seems like a lot of foreigners had transferred to Shibuku lately. Well at least he wasn't blonde. Seems like a lot of foreigners whom she had met lately were all blondes for some reason.

It was at this point that she realized that they had reached the third floor. She spun around again, pointing at a nearby door. " That's the teacher's lounge!~ The staff here are pretty lenient, though they're pretty scary if you get them angry....according to my stupid classmates". She giggled, putting up a hand to her chin. "....I think that little piece of info can be trusted".

Beginning

[tsunstapledere-deactivated20121]

- Her eyes narrowed. Closely..linked? What was she talking about? Slowly turning her head with a somewhat unamused glare she chose to ignore the comment for now. Or maybe forever.  Why was Minako blushing even?  -

“ You know, those pervert delinquents probably think of you in the same way.“

- Hopefully that would put a stop to Minako’s odd blushing behavior.  To the point where she got physically sick would be okay too.  Considering her next statements, about Hitagi tiring herself out, a thought dawned on her, the students at this school, like the other, only knew she had an incurable illness.  Of course it was nothing like they probably thought, but that must have been what Minako meant by tiring herself out.

Part of her had to laugh at that, and the other part was annoyed at the sympathy people seemed to give her when they found out things like this.  Like why she never did any sports or PE.  She didnt want pity though, she wanted people to stay out of her way.  That was that.

Watching Minako interact with the girls, Hitagi would feel disgusted.  She instead looked up at the ceiling when she couldnt watch anymore, waiting for Minako to return, which she did, and with news of where the dorms were.

Upon hearing this Hitagi only nodded with a calm; -

“ I see.“

- Before she turned and headed towards the designated building, no doubt Minako would follow, and Hitagi would let her, letting silence eventually be filled by the cheery girls footsteps and whatever idle chatter she was going to start with. -

[flutterbyfool-blog]

Minako's ponytail jumped from shock, a disgusted expression on her face as she waved her hands around; clearly not at all pleased by the idea that such assholes were thinking the same. If they were at least handsome or didn't had bad breath then perhaps she'll reconsider...but...

" Senjougahara-sama! That's too disgusting..". She whined, trying to keep herself from puking at the very idea. If anything else, the last thing on her mind right now was having the same thoughts as those jerks. In fact, just the thought if it made both her mind and body at unease.

Upon Hitagi's affirmation, Minako followed alongside the girl, letting the silence fill the air for a moment. Tucking a lone strand of brown hair behind her right ear, a smile made it's way into her face as thought of how eventful her first day had been. It started with an accident, climaxed with a fight, and hopefully ended in a kis- er a newfound friendship. At first, she was completely against the idea that she was going to have to get used to life at an academy for delinquents like this one, but her opinion on that was quickly starting to change.

" You know....". Minako suddenly said, yet her tone of voice was soft. " I guess this academy isn't all that bad after all". There was no real reason on why the brunette had said such a thing. She just felt like saying it. That's just how she is.

It was at this point that the brunette realized that their leisurely walk had taken them right in front of the dorms. Without further hesitation, Minako opened the door; taking a peek inside with apprehensive eyes. " Um...hello?".

 No one answered her call. The hallways were completely empty, and the only noise that could be heard was the echo of her voice. " hmm....that's strange".

Cursed Luck

[photobombhero-blog]

Ivan listened as attentively as he could, doing his best to try not to seem disturbed by the idea of a haunted toilet…or one that reeked of blood. It was a strange rumor to pass around…but then again, every school seemed to have a few ‘mysteries’ like that. Truth be told, most of them were just lies to cover up some mischief, as Minako had said. School legends like that were not something Ivan wanted to put any stock in… But you couldn’t say something didn’t exist unless you had tangible proof to say otherwise. Really, it was a devil’s proof; the inability to deny something exists when you haven’t seen it. Although, if you couldn’t see it then it couldn’t exist, right?

‘Ahhh…my head’s starting to hurt…’

Ivan tuned back into the conversation quite suddenly, pulling himself from his thoughts just in time to witness Minako inching ever closer.

“…place for his ‘late night exploits’……”

” If you know what I mean~”

No way. The way she spoke those words made Ivan tense up, a deep flush spreading over his features as he fidgeted awkwardly before her, a little too nervous to lean away. Was she really in here for sexual behavior? He was slowly starting to see it a little more in the way she conducted herself…unless this kind of behavior was normal for girls? Karina never really did anything like this! If one thing was true in this place, it was that Ivan would have to be more cautious in this school of delinquents. So far as he knew, more than half the population here would grow up to be the kind of criminals he arrested for a living. Not…that he did much arresting, actually… But he tried his best!

“A-a good guy…?” Ivan found himself echoing her words, a note of shock in his tone. And, almost instantly after doing so, he felt a little stupid, the heat remaining in his cheeks as he averted his gaze down to the rectangular brick of machinery still settled (quite uselessly) in his lap. “Well…I suppose I’m a ‘delinquent’ just like everyone else though…” He confessed a little awkwardly. Granted, the charges against him were not ones he felt he really deserved…after all, fighting wasn’t the same thing as self-defense…

“O-oh, errr…” Ivan trailed off as he looked over at her, seeing the same redness on his cheeks reflected on her own. Did he say something to make her uncomfortable? Oh- it must have been the staring. Ahhh, he didn’t mean to! Either way…it was impossible to wonder if he would be her next victim when she had so innocent a look about her. “I-it’s nothing… That is, I was actually wondering something…” Perhaps the quickest way to clear things up would be to ask directly?

“S-so if you’re not really much of a delinquent at all, how did you end up in this place?”

[flutterbyfool-blog]

Minako blinked at Ivan as the red on his face intensified, scratching the edge of her cheek lightly. Oblivious to his plight, or the misunderstanding that just occurred because of Kobayakawa's late night exploits, she tilted her head ever so slightly to the right. What was with him? Is he sick or something? She inched closer, pressing her forehead against his. " You don't seem to have a fever or something...do you feel sick? Want me to go with you to the infirmary?". Uhhh..Minako...it's your fault why this is happening actually.

Upon withdrawing her face away from his as he continued to ramble on, movement from the corner of her eyes caught her attention. She immediately directed her eyes at it's direction, only to find nothing noteworthy. She narrowed her eyes for a split-second, before turning back to Ivan.

 " How I.....ended up in this place?". The blush immediately disappeared from her cheeks, and an neutral expression graced her features. Her eyes, now devoid of warmth and innocence looked opaque, lifeless. The smile from before disappearing into thin air. " Why do you want to know?".

And with that she waited for his response, the eerie expression on her face never leaving it's place even for a moment. She did not really want to scare away the poor guy all of a sudden, but it's the only way she could think of in order to put distract him from the prospect of why she was sent to this place. SEES...Minako was a part of it no more, yet it still remains something that cannot be told to mere strangers. If she were to divulge details right now, it would only serve to endanger her allies.

It was at this point that ballpens, rulers and protractors suddenly went flying out of nowhere, clearly targeting the blonde. " tatami shield!". Minako pounded a fist into the ground, effectively making the tatami mat rise up and act as a shield for both of them, the paraphernalia in question sticking right into the middle of the mat. School supplies.. Was it Oneesama? No...these are...!

Minako turned to look as a few thugs moved out of their hiding place, smiling at both of them malevolently. " Oh no....it's them.....Ivan-kun run away!". She then stood up, positioning herself in front of the blonde as the thugs' eerie grins only intensified. There were only about five of them....she'll be able to handle this, no sweat.

☆dress shopping

[last-h-blog]

And Himari started to think why she was here again, as she looked through the rack of dressed pouting at every single one she saw. Maybe this was a bad idea, and the girl was starting to become frustrated. She’d been here only a few minutes but the Takakura was hoping that she would find a dress already! Sho-chan said it was okay to pick out the prettiest dress, but in the end her thoughts went back to what it would cost.

“Nothing very expensive,” Himari muttered, eyeing her penguin off but it wasn’t really something she would usually think of but for this moment she had to keep her family in mind and not to spend this months money in one go. It would be selfish of her to do such a thing, even though her brothers would normally say whatever she wanted she’d get. Himari was spoiled enough just from having two wonderful people in her life.

The purple-eyed girl walked across the floor over to another rack where a crouching brunette caught her eye! She stopped suddenly, tilting her head to the side. What an odd way to shop, she thought as the two met eyes. Himari let out a small giggle, stepping back for a few moments.

“Good afternoon!” Himari replied back quite cheerfully, with a small wave staring back at the other thinking about the weather. “Mhm! It’s a little cold, but it isn’t so bad inside! I’m Takakura Himari by the way, and it’s nice to meet you!” She bowed her head out of politeness, keeping it quite low as her penguin now with a play dress on waddled to Himari’s side. “Are you looking for a dress as well..?”

She laughed at her own question, her eyes looking up at the many racks around the store. It was silly of her to ask something when what else would you do in a store like this? But Himari was always up to converse with people no matter what the conversation would be!

[flutterbyfool-blog]

Ohhh...how cute~ Minako can't help but mentally squeal like a fangirl at the sight of the orange haired girl and her adorable penguin. Why hadn't she seen this girl before? Making friends creating social links with cute girls like her was sure to be something that ought to be a part of her happy, fantastic high school life and t- She was taken out of her reverie as the girl spoke.

" Takakura...Himari?". Minako carefully repeated the girl's name, looking up with a confused expression. Where had she heard that name before? Himari was another thing....but Takakura sure was familiar...oh! Minako pounded a fist into her palm, an imaginary lightbulb lighting up at the top of her head. " Ah...you must be a relative of Shoma-kun!..hehe..Just as I thought!~". Apparently, being adorable must run in the family or something. Ohhhh....to be oblivious to others' plights Minako~

" So um...Himari-chan right? Pleased to meet you! I'm Minako Arisato". Bowing down to others wasn't really something she's used to doing; as the brunette wasn't really one for formalities, but because this girl had done so she returned the bow out of sheer civility. 

Minako blinked at Himari's last question, obliviously scratching the edge of her cheek. A...dress? Tearing her gaze away from Himari, she looked around the shop; only to realize that this is indeed a dress shop. Looks like she was too busy hiding and keeping a look-out for her friends to notice. Oh yeah...there's this yule ball thing that's going to happen in just a few days...guess Himari-chan is here to shop too. Guess it wouldn't hurt to search for one too.

 The brunette immediately stood up, rubbing the back of her head as she giggled awkwardly." Um yeah I guess you could say that". Entwining her hands behind her innocently, she smiled at the younger girl once again. " So! Did you see anything you like Himari-chan?".

Dreaмιng oғ a Knιgнт Cнrιѕтмaѕ

[chevalier-blanc]

How Suzaku had neglected to hear such a ruckus emitting from one of the nearby classrooms was beyond explanation. Then again, he had been know for being slightly air headed at times, and closing himself into his thoughts especially with this new, undesirable situation he’d landed himself in. Not having expected the other person to then grab his shoulder blades and plea for him to aid them escape the parameters.

Oh, maybe this place might be as bad as he thought after all…Noticing that it was a young woman that had temporarily latched onto him, a small hint of a blush speckled across his cheek bones. “Well I—”

“It’s ok, I’m just glad you’re not hu—” Gaze moving from her, and over to the thin line of grey smoke emanating from the doorway of the classroom, his dark brows arched in shock. Smoke? Did that mean there was a fire inside the room? That wasn’t good, people could get hurt! “Hey is everything ok in there?”

Not waiting for a response from the girl, he’d swiftly maneuvered himself over to the clouded area, trying to peek in through the doorway. His arm raised to shield his mouth and nose to prevent the inhalation of the tarnished air, within seconds the young knight had walked into the classroom and located the offending article.

He made quick work of retrieving a bottle of water from his bag and pouring it over the firecracker to prevent any further explosions. Luckily these things were harmless if there were no stray limbs close to them, which judging by the lack of screaming, there had been no casualties. Thankfully.

[flutterbyfool-blog]

Minako backed away a bit at his sudden actions, hesitating for a moment before following suit. Shielding her mouth and nose in the same way the boy from earlier had done, her crimson eyes darted from the firecracker then to the boy who was now pouring water over it. Looks like she could leave this to him now at the moment. 

She walked past him, carefully threading past the debris and the wrappers of candy left behind by her classmates that was scattered all over the floor. " man...what a mess....". She grumbled, still covering her nose and mouth with a handkerchief. Thankfully most of her classmates were able to escape in the same way she did, while others just jumped out of the window in order to escape the small explosion. Heaven knows how they survived with that, but then again it's not like the students here in this academy are ordinary people after all.

After the smoke had cleared up a bit, she directed her crimson orbs at the nearby window, where a highly visible human hand was barely hanging onto. The brunette immediately took his hand into her own, pulling him inside.

The boy she rescued looked up at her with sheepish eyes. Minako immediately squealed out loud, pointing at the boy with an indignant glare. " Kobayakawa! This is your fault huh?!".

Kobayakawa only shrugged, before running away. Minako just sighed, putting up a hand to her forehead. " Oh well, I'll report this to the headmaster later anyways".

 She turned back at the brunette, offering a warm smile. " Good work um, mister...?".

So Much Confusion!! [intro/open]

[heavensheretic]

The delicious taste of pocky still lingered in his mouth, half paying attention to her, he licked his lips and took time to study the empty box he held. Pocky huh, now why had he never had some of this before? He should ask Sanzo to get him some next time!! oh wait.. Sanzo. Right… he wasn’t here. Goku set the empty box down and looked back up at the girl only when he suddenly felt a wet tissue rub against the corners of his mouth. “hm?”

Oh? What was that for? Blinking Goku lifted his hand and rubbed at his mouth, the spot where she wiped. He didn’t know anything about motherly gestures, and Sanzo sure as hell didn’t wipe his mouth for him… so that had been really.. weird. “that should do?” What exactly just happened now? Oh but now he was just getting confused again, blankly staring at her hand. “ehhh? Koba…yakisoba?” A yakisoba frenzy sounded delicious. “We’re getting yakisoba?” One track mind, all the time. With thoughts of tasty fried noodles Goku took her hand and stood up. “Minako! ah My name’s Goku!”

[flutterbyfool-blog]

Minako giggled a bit, finding his innocent reaction to what she had done quite endearing and adorable. Even if he did seems quite....different at first glance, she can't help but feel a sort of motherly instinct to support the boy. She nodded to herself briefly, a determined expression on her face. Yes, that's right...she can't let those idiots lay even one hand on this boy.

SOCIAL LINK ESTABLISHED.

She laughed sheepishly yet again, waving an assuring hand at the boy. " Oh not much, just sorta cleaned you up that's all". Seemed like he was not at all familiar with motherly gestures huh? That made him even more cute! But it was sad all the same. Minako could relate to that. She can't even remember the face of her mother anymore.

She blinked at Goku's last statement, another sweatdrop adorning her face. " Er...yeah whatever. But anyway, let's get out of he-".

" Hey I found him!".

At that point, Kobayakawa and the others appeared behind them, sweating profusely from searching all around the school. An outstretched hand was pointing at Goku, meaning it was Kobayakawa who had made that noise from earlier. "oh god....dash!!". Minako dragged Goku away, taking no notice of the yells behind her.

“Oh, maybe this one can help me find the cafeteria… This academy sure is big. Way more bigger than Latowidge. I’m sure it has a cafeteria somewhere here…” He said to himself as he slowly approached the brunette that’s a few steps away from him. He gently tapped her shoulder to get her attention and smiled in a mellow but friendly greeting.

“Hello!” He said as he greeted the person who was new to him. Formal Academy is full of people who was really new to him and most of all, a haven of cute and beautiful ladies. Younger or older, it didn’t matter to him anymore. This was absolutely fantastic! It’s a rare view to find all younger cute girls of his type and beautiful, elegant ladies that will soon add flavor to his taste in girls.

He cleared his throat as he shook those thoughts from his mind. He chuckled as he ran a hand through his hair and looked at the girl with his emerald orbs. “Excuse me? Can you… Please show me the way to the cafeteria?” He politely asked as he pulled out his little map of the school. “I’m kinda… lost.”

[flutterbyfool-blog]

Minako sighed to herself, twirling a loose strand of hair as she walked by her lonesome along the school corridors. It had been a pretty boring day, especially since Kobayakawa and his crazy pack of friends weren't around to make the day more exciting. Truth be told, their antics often leave her annoyed, yet an empty feeling in her gut was present whenever they weren't around.

She released a sigh, hoping that someone would come along and relieve her of her current state of boredom. It was at this point that someone gently tapped her shoulder. She spun around, and blonde boy with emerald green eyes met her line of sight. " um..hello".

Minako smiled at him pleasantly, listening to his current problem at hand carefully. Ohh..another transfer student...who was a blonde. She scratched the edge of her cheek lightly, her eyes narrowing a bit as they drifted away from the blonde in question. This is the third male,blonde transfer student I met ever since yesterday. Oh well, all of them were cute guys so I'm not complaining. She giggled lightly to herself. Especially this guy here

 " Sure. I'll take you there". The brunette motioned for him to follow her, entwining her hands behind her back. " The name's Minako Arisato. Nice to meet ya!~".

Looks like her savior from boredom had just arrived.

The brains part was debatable — actually he was intelligent, just a bit naive. Clearly. “Miss Arisato? The pleasure’s mine!”

He wasn’t quite sure how to take her comment, hailing from a place where it was just the opposite, of course. Socializing outside the royal circle - he needed some sort of guideline for this. With an unwavering smile, he regarded her cheerful as ever in spite of the inner-confusion. “Aha, you think I’m up to something…?” Hopefully not! The only thing Gino was up to at the moment was tree hunting.

..Oh! Good thing Minato was here to inform him. Otherwise, he may have tainted the Weinberg name even further before the end of the day. But..plastic? Not really a foreign concept, fake trees weren’t unheard of in his mind, and yet…

“I see, so we’re to make the tree ourselves?” He didn’t know the first thing about working with plastics, but the brunette seemed to be on the ball with these things.

“Do you think they would use the tree’s water for drinking? For themselves, I mean…”

[flutterbyfool-blog]

" Minako is fine! Miss Arisato sort of reminds me of a candidate for Miss Universe". It was a bit unnerving to have someone she just met call her without an honorific, but it was quite better to have someone call her with her given name than have someone call her so formally. Not that she had anything against it, it just feels weird t be called in that way.

Minako blinked at him innocently, tilting her head ever so slightly to the right at his response. Up to something? What did he mean? Foreigners sure says weird things sometimes..." Nah, not really. I just think it's weird". A blunt response, devoid of implied messages and was a statement she said out of observation. She wasn't really the type to suspect people- unless they were wiseasses. 

" Besides, I don't think Gino-kun is the type of person to be up to something like tht". She gave him an assuring smile, making it known that she wasn't opening up any kind of hostility whatsoever. Being able to socialize with different kinds of people had somehow given her some kind of instinct about this kinds of things, and thankfully it had always been correct.

 The brunette then shook her head at Gino's next question. " Nope! We buy it ourselves! ". She put up a hand underneath her chin. " Millenium Mall should have a sale on those-". Minako turned back to the blonde, a grin on her face. " Say, wanna come along? For tree shopping I mean".

Seems like Kobayakawa won't be able to buy that tree anyways. " Er..drinking? hahaha yeah let's just leave it at that". She then placed a hand on Gino's shoulder. " You sure a nice guy Gino-kun!". Naive or innocent or dense Gino may be it did not matter- people like him who normally did not think bad of people like that was a dogged nice guy in her book.
