[B]OOC That's perfectly fine, it seems it was for the best afterall ^^[/B]

[COLOR=DeepSkyBlue]Imi stared at the boy and then his last few words sank in, after a long pause she went stiff and started choking.
Koji thwapped her on the back which sent her flying into the lockers opposite.
Koji looked startled, "I'm sorry, I don?t know my own strength!" he said sheepishly, smiling and placing a hand on the back of his head. Imi stood up, "That's *cough cough* perfectly fine....*hack cough*" she took a deep breath and stood up straight.
"A gang? No...not yet...but I um..." she looked at the Daito in Koji?s hand and a chill ran down her spine. 'Better not mention that meeting with the Zen' she thought to herself.
"Um...why do you ask?" she loosened her tie and undone the top button.
"Is it me or is it getting hot in here?" she asked as she fanned her face. She realised what a femmy thing that was and stopped, shoving her hands into her pocket. She pulled out the toothpick she had posed with the night before and stuck it in her mouth. It had taken her 2 hours of practice before she had mastered how to speak with it in without spitting it in someone?s face or chocking yourself.

Koji looked at Imi with an amused look on his face, "You're funny kid....I'm surprised you don?t have more friends. You don?t have many friends, do you?"
Imi shook her head, neither her or Isaac had any close friends to speak of, except Rin and Zeos.
"Um....can I ask a question?" Imi finally asked, she sounded quite timid when she spoke.
"Of course you can." the taller boy replied, taking up his Daito and patting it on his palm.
Imi gulped, "How come you asked if I was in a gang?"[/COLOR]

[Lilt]

[font=Century Gothic][size=2][color=magenta][b]OOC: I know that Isaac is a nice guy, Imi. He just wasn't careful in choosing some of his words when she secretly went out with him and then she exaggerated what he had said and held a grudge against him. Just wanted to clear that up. ^_^[/b][/color][/size][/font]
[b][font=Century Gothic][size=2][color=#ff00ff][/color][/size][/font][/b]
[i][font=Century Gothic][size=1][color=#ff00ff]Nami tried not to laugh as Isaac was yelled out of the room. Then she caught herself. What was she doing? Maybe she really had changed like Toshi said she had. After she and Isaac had broken up because of a misunderstanding that they had and because Nami couldn't stand hiding their relationship any longer, she had decided to put on a "tough girl" act. But was it only an act? Nami was starting to have a harding time making friends now. They were either too scared to talk to her, or else they agreed to be friends because they were afraid what she might do if they didn't. As much as she hated all of this, Nami couldn't just drop this whole thing and go back to being her old self - Tosh's "Nami-chan". She was in a gang now, and she wanted to get rid of that stupid nickname that she hated so much. But was it worth being alone to prove a point? Should she try to make up with Isaac and see if they could at least be friends?[/color][/size][/font][/i]

[Guest Shaman-SkyLord]

Muttering to himself underneath his breath "bloody gangs, hate them all, going after her like that, when i get out of this........" Interupted he looked up, "Imi" the teacher cheered. "Why don't you come up and solve this equation for us"
Putting a smile on his face he walked up to the board thinking to himself "i hate maths, i don't know the left side of a hypotenuse from the right" smiling to the teacher he got the piece of chalk. "Normally when no-one puts there hand up, its Imi's job of doing the equation, but today there will be no change, so go ahead Imi".
"Bloody teachers and there jokes, hate them all" Imi thought to herself. X2 x 5(7x + 92) x 27 =

"What the hell !" she shouted," i can't do this !"
An astonished look upon the teachers face told Isaac he just thought aloud, way to much aloud
"OUT..........IMOGEN KAGAMI..............DETENTION !"

Isaac now thinking to himself "Imi's gonna kill me", and with a swift click on his shoes, he walked out the door.

He could hear the teacher shouting at the rest of the pupils to shut up. "I've really done it this time"

[ColourDeaf]

Koji put his hands behind his head and stretched again.

"Well, I'm a good scout of potential, and I've heard good things about you. You've taken a few choice gang members in your time, Isaac, and I believe good work should be rewarded." He looked at Isaac and smiled slightly, "I think you should join the Bad Moons."

He turned around and shoved his Daito into his belt.

"If you're with us, you'll have a bunch more friends, protection for you and protection for your sister. We won't let the family of our members get hurt, after all."

Koji swung his arm in a wide circle, loosening up his arm and stretching it a bit more. He could see Isaac looking a bit flustered at it and put his hands up disarmingly.

"But I can't force you. Take your time and think about it." He walked by him and clapped the shorter boy on the shoulder, smiling at him once again. "I'll be at the Kendo club tonight. Stop by if you want to give me your answer. If not, no big deal." he started to walk off and then stopped.

"Oh, by the way. Maybe you shouldn't talk with that toothpick thing in your mouth, you spit a little bit." he carried on walking, waving slightly to Isaac as he turned the corner.

[I]I wonder if the coffee machine's still stocked...[/I]

[Cyriel]

[COLOR=RoyalBlue]As Koji disappeared from view, the classroom door opened, and Himeko peeked out her head. As soon as she saw 'Isaac,' she smiled, and walked out, shutting the door behind her.

"Hey, are you alright? You look kind of...flustered," she said, looking at him quizzically.

"Huh? Yes, I'm fine. Just...ack, nothing." Isaac breathed out a deep sigh, and then brushed his hair back.

Himeko shrugged, "Well, alright then. But anyway, Mr. Matunu let me out a bit early, since you have to show me around. And I think he forgot that you're still out here in the hall..." Suddenly, the bell rang, and the rush of students filled the corridors.

She tapped Isaac on the shoulder, "I have to get to the gymnasium. What's the quickest way there?"

"Gymnasium? Why the hell are you going there?"

She smiled, but reminded herself not to look too sweet, "I have kendo and archery."[/COLOR]

[Ryoko T.D.C.]

[COLOR=Blue]O.O.C. I'm in summer school when you guys post! No fair!

"Oh my, how I dred school....so many people....and oh so many, boys....," Suzuki blushed madly as she looked around the halls that were filling up with students," if only I could express my feelings toword some of them....like, Isaac, and Koji, and Zeos, and....oh me oh my!"

Suzuki walked through the halls holding her face as she blushed madly, and not watching were she was going, and then again, like fate hated her, she ran into Koji. She was knocked back a little, but didn't fall. She lifted her face from her hands slowly and looked up, and up, and up to his face for she was fairly short. Koji smiled nicely at her for he knew that this Twisted Zen was very shy and scared easily.

"Oh, I'm ever so sorry! Again. I didn't mean to. Really! I don't want to get in a--" She was cut off as he put his hand on her shoulder.

"Fight? Naw, it's a common misake. Just don't do it again." He said then walked off.

Suzuki started to turn a crimson color. Then, out of know where, she burst out yelling.

"Damn! Damn my infernal shyness!" She screamed at the top of her lungs.

Koji just sighed as he heard her, "hhhuuu....damn girl, she's to cute and fragile to be in a gang...." and walked off.

The people around her just stared at her. Suzuki blushed as always and ran off to her math class for some extra credit. As she got there, she saw the twin sister of Isaac. Suzuki had talked to her in the lunch room before, but never became real close friends, but were still nice to each other.

"Hey 'Imogen'. How are you?" Suzuki asked walking beside her and ditcing the class.

"Huh, oh, hey. I'm fine." 'Imogen' replied looking at her.

"I hope you didn't tell your brother what I think of him did you?" she got into a hushed voice, "because when I told you I had a crush on him, you just ran off. I thought you were going to tell him. So, did you?" Suzuki asked 'her'.

"Of course not!" 'She' waving 'her' hand in the girliest maner posible. '[I]Whow, Suzuki has a crush on me!? I never knew. I mean, she blushes at every guy. Hm, I guess ya learn something new every day.[/I] ' he thought to himself.

"Good, I'd hate ta hurt ya!" She said punching 'her' softly.

O.O.C. Sorry if I keep bumping into you ColourDeaf.[/COLOR]

[Onix]

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][SIZE=1]Zeos walked out of class and saw Isaac walking towards the Gym with the new guy.

"Feh, pretty boy," grumled Zeos, completely ignoring the fact that he, himself, could be considered a pretty boy.

As he walked towards his next class, Zeos heard some girls muttering about something.

"Did you hear what happened?"

"What?"

"Black Hidari was talking with Isaac Kagami!"

"Really?"

"Yeah! Probably asking him to join the Bad Moons!"

"But isn't Isaac in the Twisted Zen? He's always hanging out with that dreamy Zeos Uchiyama, and he's a top dog in that gang."

"Yeah, but Black Hidari is way tougher than Zeos Uchiyama. No one ever turns him down."

"Who's tougher than me now?" Zeos said, in a murderous whisper.

The two girls cringed and whirled, eyes wide and fightened.

"Uh...uh...uh..."

"No...no one..."

"Really!"

"Really? And I'm dreamy, now?"

One of the girls fainted, and her friend caught her.

"Hm, easily frightened, is she?" said Zeos, smiling warmly. His gray eyes flashed, and the girl blushed.

The silver-haired teen turned and headed towards the gym.

[I]Hanging out with Hidari, is he? I've got to talk to Isaac now.[/I] [/SIZE] [/COLOR]

[Ryoko T.D.C.]

[COLOR=Blue] "Ohhhh....how I dred next period. My worst class of all. [B][I]P.E.[/I][/B] ," Suzuki shivered at the thought of what they were going to do next, "high jump, no; did that last week. Mile, no; did that Monday. What did the teacher say we were doing again....?"

Suzuki screeched to a halt, "OH NO! WE'ER CLIMBING THE ROPE!!!!" Suzuki fell to the ground crying.

Zeos was just a few yards away and heard Suzuki crying. He knew he had P.E. with her next and he knew she hated it with a passion. He walked over to his crying gang member and friend.

"Hey Suzu-san, what's wrong?" Zeos asked her.

"P...E...ROPE...CLIMBING...!!!!" Suzuki sobbed.

Zeos sighed. She wasn't the climber. At all. He helped her and tried to shut her up. He was able to because Suzuki looked up to him and listened to him. He told her that it'll be fine. So, Suzuki stopped her blubbering and gave him a warm smile. They both headed to P.E. together.

[CENTER]~~P.E.~~[/CENTER]

"I feel sick...." Suzuki whisperd to Zeos.

"Oh can it. It's easy." He replied back.

"Meh, easy for you to say. Your strong...." She said as she drooped her head on his arm.[/COLOR]

[ColourDeaf]

Koji blushed as he turned the corner from Suzuki.

"Damn! Damn my infernal shyness!" he hear her scream

"Hhhuuu....damn girl, she's to cute and fragile to be in a gang...." he sighed, putting his hands behind his head, then he smiles to himself.

[I]But Goddamn she's cute....Maybe I should ask her ou-[/I]

He stopped and sighs, shoving his hands into his pockets.

[I]Himeko...[/I]

He walked slihtly more somberly to Gym, took off his school shirt in the changing room, but keeping the t-shirt he wore underneath it on. He slipped on some sneakers and took off his belt, then walked into the gym. He looked around and saw Suzuki resting her head on Zeos's arm...

[I]Oh well....that's life, I suppose.[/I]

OOC: PErfectly fine for you to keep bumping into me, Ryoko

Zeos seemed to be giving Koji the "Evil eye," so he, of course, smiled sweetly back.

[I]I wonder how tough Unchiyama [/I] really[I] is[/I]...

As Koji started performing some practice manuveurs with his Daito, the teacher blew his whistle and walked upbehind him.

"You! This sin;t Kendo Club! Put that thing awa-" the man trailed off as Koji turned around. "H-Hidari! Sorry! Sorry! Carry on!"

The 6 foot Gym teacher scuttled away like scared cockroach. Koji sighed again and scracthed his head, looking at the floor.

"Man, I really was a ******* to that guy before, wasn't I?" Koji said, slightly guiltily, before carrying on practicing.

[QuinnBW]

OOC: haha.. I think it will be easier to have a timetable arranged some how.at least I will know who where at what time.. *cheers* .. you guys post sssooo fast!

I.C:

Elliot straighten his collar up wards to cover his scar. His index finger touches his long scar across his neck. ? DAMN YOU KOJI! One day I?ll make you pay for what you did to me? Elliot frowned and headed to his next class.

OOC: erm whose class am I in?? Unless, I need to think of some more bumping into ppl incidents or people bumping into me....YO! KOJI! Hope you don?t mind having Elliot?s joining of the gang related to you and of course the scar too? well you made the scar... fine with you?

[QuinnBW]

OOC: so sorry for pulling the first day to the ending of the first day.i thought it would be better if the first day doesn?t drag on.. is it okay with you Imi? I just thought maybe some fights should come along soon? hah. Gomen. Koji! Sorry for making up a meeting for the Bad moons without askng you first.. needed an excuse to continue?

There was a meeting with the Bad moons on the rooftop after school. Regarding a oncoming fight.


Elliot decided to skip his last lesson and head to the rooftop area to catch a breeze. Hopefully this will make him feel better. Just as he opened the door leading to the rooftop, the door smacked back at him, pushing him back a few steps away from the stairs. Just as he caught his balance by pulling the knob of the door, he accidentally also pulled the person out with him ,out came the person falling onto him. Thinking that the person is a girl, he immediately gripped her by the shoulder and waist before falling down the stairs with her on him. His back hits the steps first, ?THUD?.Down a flight of steps, head first they went, Elliot had his chin tucked in against the ?girl? and with his hand covered her head from injuries.

?It?s over...? Elliot and the ?girl? had reached the bottom of the steps. His back hurt badly from the sharp edges of the steps and together with the weight of the ?girl?. Light from the opened door on the top of the steps shone in, revealing to his eyes the actual identity of the ?girl?. ?I?m so sorry!? The girl whimpered. It was not a ?girl? it was Hideo. The new kid. Elliot was confused and shocked from what he had seen. ?But I was sure it was a girl! He even moved and fell like one.? Elliot thought, as he quickly pushed Hideo away from him. ?Twice in one day? Elliot said with a cool tone, trying to hide the embarrassment of ?hugging? a GUY!

Hideo (Elliot doesn?t know his name or background) got up and dust the dirt off himself. He said nothing to Elliot.(Or rather not sure of what to say.)Saying ??I?m so sorry ?? in a wimpy vice just now was a bad mistake. He tried to cover up his embasressment of his girly fall by acting more macho and pretending it didn?t hurt at all. (Duh* Elliot took most of the blow)
--------------------------------------------------
OCC: I'M back to continue just now's post.. forgot to finish it before posting... gomen!

[Ezekiel]

[COLOR=Black][COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]OOC I'm glad to see everyone is taking initiative.....I need someone to help me with the time table.....any volunteers?[/COLOR][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Indigo]Imi walked out of her last lesson of the day, her and Isaac were going to head home get changed back into themselves and then go to meet the Twisted Zen.
Imi didn?t want to come but Isaac had convinced her since Zeos would be there and that way she could get closer to him.

As she walked across the field she looked behind her to see if anyone could see her. No one was in eye shot so she started to take off the boys blazer, tie and blouse.
She had a tight tank top underneath and her chest was starting to hurt from wearing it all day.
"So this is what a corset is like?" she said to herself as she loosened the bindings from under her shirt.
She reached a bench on the outskirts of the park that came close to the school. She threw down her bag and sighed,
"Ten minutes," she thought, "I have ten minutes." she had seen Suzuki and Zeos talking in PE when she was pretending to be Isaac she sniffed and wiped a tear from her eye, "I don't know why I bother....all of this is for nothing, it?s not as if he'd like me anyway...."
She began to sob, just letting the tears fall down her face. 'Why does it have to be this way?' she thought as her crying became louder.
From all the noise she was making she didn?t notice someone coming from the trees behind her.....[/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]OOC: Okay, the person should be one of the boys, they would think the person was a girl at first (obviously) and then realise that it looks like Isaac. So, I'll let whomever posts next to decide where it goes from there but bare in mind that the other characters shouldn't find out the plan yet, I'll post when they do.....[/COLOR]

[Cyriel]

[COLOR=RoyalBlue]"S-s-sorry! I mean, you shouldn't have opened the damn door so fast!" Himeko stammered, blushing a little. Her hands got a little sweaty in nervousment. [I]Ack, god, you idiot, why are you acting so much like a girl??? Knock it off![/I] "Um, I'll let you off easy this time, but you better watch out where you're going!" Before Elliot could say a word, she started running down the steps like a scared rabbit.

"Hey! Wait!" he called behind her.

Turning back quickly, she yelled over her shoulder, "By the way, thanks for breaking my fall!" Then she proceeded to speed up more in her escape. Trying to run after her, Elliot at last couldn't keep up.

He shook his head, swearing to himself, "Damn, that Hideko is one quick little freak."

Himeko, on the other hand, was extrememly relieved when she saw that Elliot was no longer on her tail. Breathing out a sigh of relief, she tried to catch her breath as she started walking across a field. Suddenly, she heard a noise, and instinctively hid behind a tree. Someone was talking to themselves...and crying! Himeko walked out to see who it was, and if she could try to help. She stopped.

[I]Who is that? Poor girl is crying..probably about some stupid crush. Hey...wait a second... Isn't that...Isaac? But - wait - what the heck?[/I][/COLOR]

OOC: Mwa ha ha, hey Imi, not quite the 'boy' you were looking for, eh? ;) Ah, fun stuff. By the way Quinn, nice fall. :smirk:

[Spydaweb782004]

OOC: sry everybody i been away

Z drives up to school fast parking quickly. He gets out of his car and runs to the gym saying"I'm late god damnit". He run into the locker room and gets dressed quickly. He runs out and looks at the rope "oh this is easy".

He started to climb the rope and then lost his grip but he caught it quickly and then rang the bell at the top. He slid down easily and looked at Suzuki and began blushing. He stopped blushing and walked over to her"hi what's up". He then saw Zeos and waved"I hope you ready for tonight cause i am and i have my engine supped up.

[Guest Shaman-SkyLord]

Isaac, well the thoughts running through his mind !!!!!
P.E !!!!!!!!!!
The thought of second period P.E, AMAZED him, he never knew he could get as close as that to all those "cups"
Remebering all the comotion of trying to get his P.E kit on, you had to feel sorry for an adolescent teen stuck inside a girls changing room ! He may have been lucky, but remember the adolescent bit
Thinking back on running in and out of the shower section trying to get changed, without the other girls noticing. He was waiting inside the shower section for ages, waiting for all the girls to get changed.He walked out seeing everything from underwear to bra's !!!!!!
Now running to get home he forgot about all about Zeos race with Z, he ran into his house and into his bedroom. Tired with all the running but still thinking of that "NICE" and one of his best periods of P.E !

[ColourDeaf]

((OOC: Yes, I know I'm controlling Ryoko's character an awful lot in this, but I;m just redoing apost she did (and yes, she asked be to do it)))

Koji strode down the hall, his hands behind his head and his eyes closed. PE was fairly boring, as was maths and whatever other subject he had. He had kind of zoned out a while ago, so it was a bit of a blur. He drew a deep breath and let it out slowly through his nose.

[I]No work tonight...back to the apartment again, I suppose...[/I]

He sighed and shoved his hands in his pocket. As he did he heard the sounds of sounds of footsteps and turned slightly, opening one eye. He saw nothing at eye level but was hit by what felt like a cannonball around his lower back. He swayed but stayed upright, and the "cannonball" fell to the ground with a faint squeak. He looked down and saw Suzuki sprawled on the floor, rubbing her rear. She had her eyes squeezed shut.

"Oww..."

"You alright, Suzuki-kun?" he asked

The girl froze, as if trying to make herself invisible. "Please tell me your not Hidari..."

"Ummm...how about I'm just Koji."

Suzuki opened one eye and blushed, a slight pinkness across the cheeks and her ears. She was [I]so[/I] cute when she blushed.

[I]Is she blushing over me?[/I]

[I]Probably not. She's probably just ared to death you're going to hit her or something.[/I]

[I]...You're probably right.[/I]

[I]I know I'm right[/I]

He bent down and hooked his hands under her arms, lifting her up and placing her down gently. He brushed off her shoulders and smiled, then straightened up.

"There, good as new."

"T-thank you..."

"It's no problem." he eyes grew suddenly harder and he leaned meanacingly towards her "But I did tell you not to do it again before...."

She whimpered ever so slightly, and he straightened up and laughed.

"Uh, sorry...too much?"

She nodded, and he held his hands up apologetically. He turned and started to walk away, when he heard her say something, just another little squeak.

"K-Koji."

He turned his head to look at her through the corner of one eye, raising his eyesbrow slightly.

"I..I know we're in different gangs and everything and we're supposed to hate each oher and stuff but I just wanted to know if...you...wanted to go eat something or...something." she said, looking hard at her shoes.

Koji stood there, stunned.

[I]She wants to go[/I] out [I]with me? What should I do?[/I]

[I]I don't know, I'm as suprised as you are! Well, maybe you should stop talking to yourself and answer her.[/I]

He turned and folded his arms looking down as well and even blushing slightly (of course, less cutely than she was).

"Uh, it's true that we should not be, because we're different gangs and stuff. But..."

[I]Himeko...[/I]

[I]Leave it. She's gone. She probably hated you to begin with. That's why she left without aying anything...[/I]

He coughed and walked over to her, lifting her chin with one finger and smiling as sweetly as he could.

"Sure, how about right now? I know this great little place a little bit from here..."

[Ryoko T.D.C.]

[COLOR=Blue]Suzuki smiled widly and blushed at the same time.

"Re-really! Oh wow!" Suzuki said as she jumped up and gave him a hug around his torso for that's how far she could reach.

Koji blushed a little, not as much as Suzuki, but still had a little crimson in his cheeks as he put his hand on his head. They stode there for a moment and then quickly moved away. Both blushing, Suzuki more than him.

"Sh-shall we go then?" She asked him as she started to walk out the door of the building.

"Sure, since the days over. An, we got a little time to spare." He said walking up to and putting an arm around her waist.

"Oh my....!" She whisperd to herself and looked to the ground.

'[I]Oh wow, my blushing, it's out of controle![/I] '

"Hey stop that, you might bump into someone besides me." He replied to her as he lifted her head again.

She smiled warmly to him and they left for the rest of the day.[/COLOR]

[Cyriel]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=RoyalBlue]Himeko couldn't stand it - she had to figure out who the heck this person was!

She stepped out, raising her voice, "Hey! Who are you?" Her eyes narrowed, she watched as the Isaac look-alike turned.

Imi was absolutely shocked, and quickly tried to think of something, "Um - I - I mean - my name is Imi!"

"Imi, did you say?"

Imi nodded vigorously, praying that Hideko wouldn't recognize her.

Himeko rubbed her head, "..Do you, by any chance, have a brother or something? I mean, you look alot like someone I met at school today..." Suddenly, she realized that the girl still had tears on her cheeks. "Oh, I'm sorry, are you alright? I mean, I didn't mean to intrude or anything..." [I]Crap, am I being too nice again? Wait, no, guys are supposed to be nice to crying girls. Ok, I'm ok.[/I][/COLOR][/SIZE]

[Ezekiel]

[COLOR=DeepSkyBlue]Imi recognised Hideo, I mean obviously, but she didn?t want to give anything away.
"Brother? No.....I haven?t...you must be mistaking me for somebody else." she looked away quickly and tried to rub the gel from her hair. She totally avoided the question of why she was crying.

"Okay, sorry. But like I asked before....why are you crying?" Himeko came and sat next to her. Imi turned away, "It doesn't matter....just a stupid reason anyway."
Himeko thought for a while, 'Try to act like a guy...'
"No reason is stupid if it makes a girl cry." she said as she smiled.
Imi looked up and blushed slightly, "Um...thanks."
Himeko's eyes widened, 'Holy crap! Please don't tell me she thought I was.....flirting?!'

Imi stood up, "Thanks for saying that, I feel a lot better." she bowed her head and smiled, "If you don?t mind, I have somewhere to be." with that she ran across the field over to her house.[/COLOR]

[QuinnBW]

?Man! ? That little kid runs like a deer.? Elliot pants; catching his breath once more with a last deep breath. He bends down to his knees and then flops down flat onto the floor. His face towards the ceiling, he stares at the weird cracked lines on it.

He then looks at his watch, ?It?s about time.? He got up to his feet and turned back and headed to the rooftop once again. As he walked, ?why was that kid so freaked out just now? All I wanted to ask him something. Never mind about that now .I?m bound to catch up with him eventually.?

He finally reached the rooftop and opened the door. A light cool breeze runs through his hair. There was a wonderful feeling about it. He walked to the railings and fence that surrounded about the area. His eyes set onto a distant tranquil green .He let his fingers curled around the wires in front of his face. ?When I fall in love, it will be forever?? Elliot sang out a song he used to hear his dad sing to his mom. It had been a long time since the snow accident which took both his parent?s life. Now an orphan alone in this world life felt meaningless.

Just as he was about the continue singing the second verse, the door slammed open!

OCC: HA! I wonder who it is. If possible... can the next person who is gonna post be the one? ? Oneigai!? This is getting better... right hideo? HAhahaa...

[Cyriel]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=RoyalBlue]OOC: Holy cow, I really am running around like a deer/rabbit. :laugh:

IC:

Watching as Imi ran off to her house, Himeko felt extremely confused. [I]..So..Imi and Isaac aren't related? Ack! I've never seen two people look so alike before, especially when they don't even know each other.[/I] She smacked herself in the head. [I]If I'm not careful, I'm going to become too much of a guy. No pretend-flirting![/I]

Still feeling confused, Himeko started heading back to the school, wondering if she should search out Isaac and ask him if he had a sister, or maybe knew someone that looked alot like his female double. She shook her head, running her hand through her short hair. She stopped, shocked at its unfamiliar length, and then remembered that she had cut it again.

[I]Remember? You're Hideo![/I] It immediately reminded her of the reason she was even disguised as a boy - the kendo and archery teams. [I]Oh damn, I better get some practice in.[/I] But suddenly, music seemed to reach her ears. Someone was singing...

"Who..is that?" she asked under her breath. Following the sound, she found that she was back on the stairwell to the roof, listening silently to the singing. Realizing that it was a private moment, she turned to leave, but her jacket caught on the door handle, twisting the knob, and the wind threw the door open with a loud slam. Elliot turned, surprised, and saw Hideo running his hand through his hair awkwardly.

"Ack! Sorry - sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt! Uh, gotta run!" Himeko stammered out, and then took off again, scampering away. Elliot again pursued, but then stopped, and made his way to the roof again. He watched as the kid ran out of the building, and then crossed the grounds to the gymnasium. "The gym, eh? Caught you this time, kid."

Himeko, meanwhile, ran quickly to the gym, letting out a sigh of relief as she closed the door behind her. But she was alert at that instant - she was not alone. Rubbing her eyes, she made sure she wasn't seeing things. It looked like someone had just stepped out of a midieval story, and was looking at the wooden practice swords.

"Who are you?" she blurted out, before she could stop herself.

Lock turned around, his eyes narrowed as he saw the new student in the gym.

OOC: I believe that there should be two others in the gym at this time too, right? *cough* Imi and Koji *cough*;)[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[Ryoko T.D.C.]

[COLOR=Blue]O.O.C. Koji on date with me. Sorry.

They walked down the street hopping that no one would see them. Luckly, no did.

"Well, we made it this far," Koji told her, " I wonder if we'll make it to the place first before either one of our gangs see us." He laughed at the thought.

"I really hope so....too. I wouldn't want to, fight. I mean, I will if I--" Suzuki started to say but got cut of by Koji.

"We won't see them. An' you won't have to fight. Hopefully that is." He said smiling down at her.

She smiled and blushed back. But, he spoke to soon. Driving down the street was part of the Twisted Zen. Koji heard a squeal from Suzuki. He grabbed her hand pulled her into a near by alley. They hid in the shadows so they wouldn't be seen them. Koji put her against the wall and boxed her in. Suzuki didn't make a sound as she looked under Koji's arm to see her gang members stop and look down their way.

Suzuki grabed on to Koji's shirt.

'[I]Please, don't let them see us, I don't want to fight. Please, go away![/I] ' She thought to herself.

The gang moved on after a few minutes from getting bored. Suzuki and Koji breathed a sigh of relief. She leaned her head on his cest. Koji smiled as he looked down at her.

'[I]Heh....cute....[/I] ' He thought to himself.[/COLOR]

[ColourDeaf]

Koji smiled as he looked down at Suzuki leaning into his chest.

[I]Heh....cute.... [/I] He thought to himself, and placed a hand on her face, gently pulling it up to look at him.

"Don't worry, Suzuki-kun, I won't let you ever have to fight." he winked and smiled even warmer. "You're much too cute to have a black eye or a busted lip." He took her hand and lead her to the edge of the alley. He leaned out and surveyed the scene on the street. Quiet. Empty. Perfect. They walked out quickly, huddling close to each other.

"How far is this place?"

"Not too far. It's great, I know you'll like it."

Suzuki just smiled and clung onto his arm, smiling up at him

[I]Well[/I] he thought, [I]At least she's not blushing as much as she was...[/I]

Thye reached the building without further incident. It was a squat, two floor affair, with a simple front and abrightly painted sign saying "Dew Drop Inn." It was plain, homely and inviting, the sort of place that was always a family business, away from the hustle and bustle of "fast food."

[I]Not...quite what I expected[/I] Suzuki thought incredulously

As they entered the place was empty, a woman of early 40's cleaning the floor and a man of the same age leaning on the counter. The man did not look up from his newspaper as he spoke around his cigarette.

"Sorry, folks. We're not open right now..."

Koji chuckled and said "Not even for your tenant?"

The man looked up and smiled slightly. "Ah, Koji, how's it going, not out with the gang tonight...?" he looked at girl next to him and smiled wisely. "Ah...I see...well! What can I get for you two?"

Koji lead Suzuki to a table in the corner and they sat down. He leaned back in his chair until the back of it touched the wall.

"One usual for me and a House Specal for Suzuki, Pops! Oh, and two cokes!" he shouted back at the man, who stubbed his cigarette and sauntered into the kitchen, the woman in tow.

Suzuki watched them depart and then looked at Koji.

"Pops? Are those your parents?"

koji looked down at the table slightly "Uh...not exactly. I just work here, and they let me stay in the apartment above here." he sighs
"It's great. A night the smell of cooking fills my dreams, and I can hear all the people laughing down here. It makes me feel like I...[I]belong[/I]," he smiles and looks back up at her, "It's kinda hard to explain, you know?"

"What happened to your parents?" Suzuki asked, cocking her head to one side.

A flash of coldness in Koji's eyes "I don't want to talk about it, right now." he stops for a moment, then smiles, and the coldness disappears. He leans forward in his chair, and the front two legs hit the ground wiht a soft *thud.*

"The food will be ready in just a minute. Tell me about yourself." he says, resting his chin on a hand, while his elbow rests on the table.

[COLOR=Blue]Suzuki looked at him for a moment and thought.

"Well, I'm an only child with a mom who cooks all the time, a father who works most of the time. But I am, as you know, quite clumsy," she blushed slightly smiling at him, "I...I'm a afriad of being alone. That's part of why I joined the Twisted Zen...." She paused for a moment.

Koji looked at her she put her head down, but then took her hand and stroked her hair back. Her eyes were closed as she did so, than she slowly opened them while looking at Koji.

"Now, I'm never alone...," She smiled warmly as scooted closer to him.

Just as she was about to scoot even closer, the food came.

"Oh look! The foods here." Koji said reliefed as he grabbed his plate.

"Oh! Yes! I sure am hungry." She said as she gently eat her food.

'[I]She sure eats politly. It's, nice...,[/I] ' Koji thought to himself as looked at her, '[I]But....alone...?[/I] '

[CENTER]~~after dinner~~[/CENTER]

"Oh my! It's quite dark out!" Suzuki said looking out the window.

"Should I walk you home?" Koji asked leaning back in his chair, hands behind his head, toothpick in mouth, looking though one eye at her.

"Hmm....Would you mind if I stayed the night?" She asked him, " I mean, it's to dark out."

Koji looked at her.

"Well, I don't know...," Koji started to say but stopped as e saw her sad face, "fine. Call your parents so they don't worry."

"Thank you!" She said as she went up and hugged him around the neck.

Suzuki ran up to the guy at the desk and asked him where the phone was. He told her it was under the desk top and that she needed to go around. But she told him not to worry. She leaned as far as she could to reach the phone. She got it, but her feet were a foot off the floor and she was still wearing her uniform. Her skirt almost went all the way up as she called her mom. Koji looked at her with one eye open. He smiled as he looked at her.

"Thanks mom. I love you too, bye," Suzuki said as she hung up the phone," I told my mom that I'm staying at Lei's. If I said I was with a boy, she would have killed me."

"Alright. Come on." Koji said as he got up.[/COLOR]

?Caught you this time, kid?? Elliot jogs over to the gym. ?This time I?ll get you for sure.? Elliot approaches the main door to the gym. Then he remembers about the meeting. ?Ah?Hack with it! If they want to find me? they will come for me eventually? He gently pushes the door ajar and peeks into the gym. He could make out who was in there. It was too dim. The lights in the gym had been dimmed. ?where?s that kid?chikuso.? Elliot mutters to himself.

A cold crampy hand cupped onto his shoulder sending a cold shiver down his back. He quickly turn and hit the person?s hand away from him.
