Knight princess

❝With all my heart I long to be an angel.❞ What? Is it time for presentations? I'm sure we can use this time for something more important but I guess I can do this quick but I won't repeat it twice -- Ryuuzaki Umi is my name, quit staring already.

Shiina looks surprised.

“It’s food?”

She’s never seen food like this before.

She opens the red box, and looks at the aluminum bag inside it curiously. Shakes it. Brings it closer to her ear, and shakes it again. Whatever food it is, it must be inside the bag—she thinks as she tears it open.

“Strange,” she comments to no one in particular as she takes one of the brown sticks out of the bag.

They don’t look very filling, either. Shiina looks at the girl claiming that she can’t eat all these alone.

“How does it taste?”

[seadragonsentinel]

Oh, you have to be joking. Was this girl a shut-in woman not capable to know the such an innocent snack ?! Even when it was obvious to figure out what that thing was. Umi was torn between deciding if she should be upset or completely pissed off, considering how this turned out. Perhaps upset. That sounded as a good idea, plus this girl that acted like a caveman.

But she can resist for a bit until she explodes and begins acting out of impulse.

" It tastes ....sweet. " The knight replied attempting to sound kind. Although it was stupid to explain that, another question would follow this and it will be a never-ending story !!

" Oh, come on ! Are you dumb or what !? Here, take it !! " Taking up one of the chocolate sticks from the bag, she decided to shove it down her mouth so the girl could experience the taste of a stupid pocky. At least half of it, she was not trying to choke down the poor girl.

♕ Pairing in Blue; Closed to Umi

Tancho Academy. 

Who thought the Blue King would end up in such a place, even if it was for his own sake, after all.

Leaving Scepter Four in hands of his faithful right arm Seri Awashima, the man had entered in the place to work as a treasurer—or better said, to bring order to the matters that had brought him there. The high school was apparently where the murderer of Tatara Totsuka was currently in, or that was what the received information said. It was his duty to verify that information, and to observe thoroughly the events that would happen all over the place. 

If he had to be honest, his current job in there was not displeasing at all. It was much less trouble than what being the fourth Royal King, the Blue King meant. He was proud of wearing the blue uniform and he exalted into his duties, being always rather dedicated in whatever the cause was, but Reisi had to admit having a more relaxed job for a while pleased him plenty.

His long fingers took another piece of the jigsaw he was about to complete in his office, blue optics attentively looking across his silver glasses, searching tirelessly for the gap where he was supposed to fit it. Reisi Munakata didn’t really need anything else for his free time in the academy—jigsaws and tea would be enough. It may sound lonesome, yet he did not see any problem with that sort of behaviour. It was by far better to be on his own than with people he didn’t know, nor like. A calm atmosphere, peace, silence; the King needed nothing but that to find himself pleased.

Placing the piece on it’s correct position, the corner of the male’s lips formed a satisfied smile as he extended his arm to grab his cup of tea, admiring for some seconds the almost finished brainteaser in which he had spent not only minutes, but hours. Even so, that bliss didn’t last long. As a sip of tea was taken, Reisi rapidly noticed he had terminated his drink, and that unfortunately, he had no more inside his office. It couldn’t be helped, though—he would have some more in the cafeteria.

Standing up and leaving his puzzle unfinished, Reisi walked at a slow pace, his sharp sea colored eyes silently surveying the people he met. Too much people inside Tancho Academy, and nobody interesting to meet in there, nonetheless.

The cafeteria was quite crowded that morning, and the man in blue found it quite bothersome. Serving a green tea for himself, he walked all along the place, looking for a seat. Shouldn’t people be in class now? That was the first thing that crossed his mind, but the huge amount of students and staff members gathered in there told him he was quite wrong. Reisi clicked his tongue in a soft way, as he approached a table where a single young girl was sitting. He would have preferred to be by himself, but since he couldn’t do so, he would have so sit with somebody else.

“May I take a sit, miss?” he asked politely, his lips forming a gentle smile as he tilted his head to look at the unknown girl. He hoped he was not bothering her with his proposition, though.

[seadragonsentinel]

First of all, she was completely alone. 

And that has always been a problem, something she hated with every fiber of her body. Not having anyone around put on her a bad attitude, almost leaning to think negatively at any situation. Wherever she looked at, there was not bright side. And it was only a mere change of airs in sake to put her spirit in a better place than where it has been for a while. How her parents can understand such a thing ? It was not something than can be solved by merely finding someone, it was not lack of love or nothing similar but there was a deep wound that was not easy to heal.

Though, why it should matter now of all moments ?

Usually things should not be as hard, changing from airs and whatnot was a common event in anyone's life but for Ryuuzaki Umi, everything was more exaggerated and somehow, she did not felt very comfortable yet.

A paper cup was placed on the table she was occupying in the cafeteria, for that hour it was rather empty but it did not vanished that annoying sensation of this apparent loneliness that was incapable to leave the magic knight of water. At least she was capable to get a decent breakfast and there was nothing wrong to stay like that. It's not like she was interested in any of these people. Perhaps she was too much for them. Pfft, quite the ego lifter ... 

When she was going to take another sip of the cup, a voice called the blue-haired girl commonly, asking one favour. A brilliant blue gaze met with the one of this man, which she couldn't help but to stare. A simple request and she was the one chosen to answer it. Ah, what she needed -- Oh, that was sarcasm. Why her of all people !?

" Haah? Here ? With me ? "  Umi turned around plenty of times, looking out to see if there was another table but she was the only idiot that had no company in that instant. 

" Ah.... " A sigh followed her words soon, it can't be helped. She can't act like a bad person in this kind of situation when there was no other alternative. Oh, but this man tried to do something funny then she was more than willing to show him with who he was messing with. Not like he looked as someone bad, it was just that Umi was not the most warm person in the world at first instance. " Fine. Go ahead, take it. This chair is all yours. " Patting the sit of chair with one hand to invite him, the girl attempted to smile but it seemed to forced so her mood reversed once again to a serious one. 

Ah, it was better to be direct in these cases !

Standing up herself to approach him and with one finger raised, she cut the distance between them only to give an important warning, acting as if she was lecturing the man.

" But you'll have to tell me your name first, I don't want to share the same space with a stranger !! " Speaking about rude, she was winning in this race to see who can forget their mannerisms so quickly.

First impressions were based on her looks, deep down she was not as sweet as she tried to act when meeting someone. Though, she was rather mean toward guys because it was not the behavior she was used to. Call it a self-defense mode. Though, hopefully she'll receive the answer she wanted. Fate had its own reasons to be but she was too busy putting up walls to notice that right away.

❣ Less love, more sweets ❴Shiina❵

[saishuubosu-blog]

“How shallow-minded,” Shiina mutters her trademark line as she watches the red boxes fall off the girl’s coat.

Why was she standing on the tree right outside the window…

That didn’t matter, as she’s already inside the hallway, and proceeds to pick up one of those red boxes from the floor.

…Pocky.

“I can explain it…”

Shiina faces the blue-haired girl when she started talking. Shiina jabs her arm forward, the red box “Pocky” in her hand.

“What is this?”

[seadragonsentinel]

Staring to the floor, Umi did not bothered to explain nor to say anything while she proceeded the whole event properly. Because, in all honesty, she never found a good reason to tell anyone why she was doing such a thing. Or to get discovered, her plan was too perfect and deemed to succeed.

 " I'm sorry, I was going to -- " 

To eat all these alone.

That showed honesty and every good valor that has been taught to the only daughter of the Ryuuzaki family ...yet, that may show her as a glutton. Which she did not needed to be in the eyes of a stranger. A rare beauty of high class suited the woman better ! Reason why she took one of the boxes from the floor instead, lending it to her, side-glancing at the same time. " Eeh...Do you want one ? I don't believe I can eat these alone. "

[seadragonsentinel]

So you're like a water knight? How does that work?

H-how in the world this ...THING ..WHATEVER THE HELL THIS THING WAS... How can someone figure that out !?  That was not supposed to be again. There was no way in the world someone can know about what she was except for Hikaru since they shared the same experience.

Act cool and calm ! As if this was nothing but a joke and as if she was the victim of an stupid commentary.

" ...What do you want from me ? "

❣ Less love, more sweets ❴Intro || Open❵

This celebration was -- beyond idiotic. More than that, actually. Umi had little motive to be criticizing all of these events. And to think she recently arrived. How a school can support that kind of activities ? Did they lost their morals to go around and acting so freely about such a stupid celebration that seemed more personal than something that should be motivating the students to act shamelessly ?! 

But then, for the blue-haired girl it meant merely free snacks. For someone who viewed this so harsh she was still a naive person who focused on simple matters, and thus it was a great opportunity to get a great variety of pockys. Tons and tons of them. She might bring some for Hikaru too ! I mean, she cannot leave her friend aside. Nothing else, it's not like she planned entirely to devour all these alone. Besides, it was the fault of the school system to let the students to participate freely.

Which she did without hesitation but she was more a solo-player. So, no sharing with strangers.

With arms crossed around her body to cover all the possible hints of her 'crime', holding a good amount of boxes and hiding them properly under the coat so no one would notice it. The next step was more complicated, as in the way she needed to sneak out without being noticed.

But when she decided to hurry her pace onto the way of her dorm, each one of the boxes fell down to the floor. At her eyes this tragedy was passing by in a slow motion,  wondering what went wrong with her plan and in this case her dwell began.

" I can explain it..."

[seadragonsentinel]

" Hah hah ~ " Although she is new and no one else but Hikaru knows Umi, she might as well and snag a lot of pocky boxes just for herself. ♥

[swagkind-blog]

Hikaru was fairly sure that moving away from Tokyo and to Tancho would be the last she got to see of her best friends, assuming they didn’t somehow end up at university or even stranger… Cephiro again.

But here she was. Umi was here, in the flesh, Hikaru couldn’t help but smile. Her grin took up her entire face.

“UMI-CHAAAAAAAN!” the shorter girl cried happily, tossing her arms around the taller girl and hugging her as tightly as she could.

[seadragonsentinel]

" AGH ! " Umi's torso felt as if it was being squished by Hikaru's tight hug, not doubting to show her pained expression because of the strength the other applied on the blue-haired girl. Happy and energetic like usual. She couldn't help but to sigh when used to the hold, a smile blossoming in the corner of her lips, proceeding to laugh softly at the sight of her friend.

This was obviously the Hikaru she cared dearly for. Hey, she was a lucky girl for bumping onto the fire magic knight  !

" Good to see you are with the same energy as ever. "

[seadragonsentinel]

8D

This must be a joke -- a good one, of course.

And to think she thought they would only see each other at the Tokyo Tower -- Umi walked forward to grab Hikaru's hands to pull her closer, in sake of observance and whatnot. Although the serious look in her face, the blue-haired girl was overflowing with emotions inside.

" HIKARU !! "
