Nichole said"I would but eh. I would just grab a plate and go. Im not really good with fancy stuff. "Shrugging. She said"im gonna do just that." Standing. Kouji turned and blinked."hey elsa. And imuto if you are at least put on something more...um....you know...better." Nichole said"ok do you have something because im leaving emma alone for a bit." Pouting.


Kouji said"indeed I do! Check the library and go behind the desk. I have a dress for ya. And look cute!" Chuckling. He tossed her the keys and nichole sighed going to the library." Fine but I'll get you later for not telling me earlier!"


Kouji said"so what brings you out here elsa? Shouldn't you be at the party maybe?" Leaning on the tree.

​

"Me? At a party? Ha!" Elsa laughed, kneeling down and picking up her scarf. "But no, that party is for the students...besides, I'm afraid I'd be too much of a distraction."


She quickly tied her scarf back around her neck and smiled.


"Thank you for the tart, by the way...I don't eat sweets, but it was very thoughtful of you." she said, flipping her hair over her shoulder. She watched Nichole leave, and then said, "So that is your little sister...hm, I never would have guessed. You two look very different in appearance."


She glanced back at Kouji and crossed her arms, leaning slightly on on leg as she spoke. She took another glance at the sky...more stars were appearing.


"What a beautiful night." she sighed dreamily. "Perfect for taking a long walk, don't you think?"

 

[twilight sparkle]

Kouji nodded and said"yea, our parents never told her. But we had adopted her from an orphanage when she was a baby...her parents abandoned her at their door...." sighing sadly. "Thats why we dont look a like. Sure lets go for a walk." Smiling softly. He stood and said"ready?"


Nichole changed into the dress in the bathroom and blushed some. It was perfect! Nichole put on her heels and did her hair. Then started walking to the gym. Usually she tripped over her own feet. But somehow. On one night, she can walk like a model!


Her dress:

Elsa bit her lip, and then shook he head. She stared at the ground ahead of her as she walked, clearly upset by the words that Kouji had just said.


"That's horrible." she said through clenched teeth. She found herself balling her hands into fists as she continued, "Not that she was adopted...children are adopted everywhere everyday...but the fact that they didn't have the decency to tell her..."


Elsa raised her head slightly, and stopped walking. Why she was so upset by this, she didn't know. She looked at Kouji , not fully facing him. She crossed her arms and looked down again, closing her eyes and shaking her head.


"Heh...maybe they thought that she wouldn't love them as much if she knew they weren't her real parents..."


Elsa didn't know where this was all coming from...she wasn't adopted, so it wasn't like she was speaking from experience. Maybe it was because she felt like it didn't matter whether you were adopted or not, as long as you had parents who cared about you...


That was a luxury Elsa never had.


"It's not my place to say this. I'm sorry." Elsa laughed sheepishly, looking back up. "I just think it was wrong of your parents to hide something like that."

​

 

[twilight sparkle]

"They were going to tell her but their scared...sigh I'll have to tell her then." Kouji said running his hand through his hair. "I know but sigh..." he shook his head grumbling.


Nichole walked into the gym and looked around. She blinked and slowly made her way to the food table . get in get some food and leave. Nichole thought to herself. She grabbed a plate. She smiled looking at the good food.

 

[Queen Rai]

~Nurse Elsa Longstorm~


Elsa immediately shook her head and said, her voice cracking slightly, "No!"


She paused, then cleared her throat.


"No. The least your parents can do is tell her themselves...if you tell her, it might make her feel worse about the whole situation, you know? She might wonder why THEY didn't tell her, and why you had to." Elsa explained. She was a nurse, yes, but she also served as a therapist to the students who had problems they needed to talk about. She knew a lot about the inner workings of the teenage mind...it was quite useful. She had dealt with this sort of situation before, and unfortunately, was responsible for the mental breakdown of a boy whose parents had adopted him. She didn't know that the boy was unaware of this, and casually slipped it into conversation.


That was an awkward conversation with the boy's parents.


"Please, take my word for it." she smiled, tucking a strand of her dark hair behind an ear. "I know a lot about this sort of thing."


Well, of course she did. She learned from the best; Giovia Eriwind. The woman was probably the wisest on campus, even if it didn't seem like it. Elsa was fortunate to have Giovia.


Hell, the school was fortunate to have her. She was a wonderful teacher, an amazing healer, and an incredible friend...Elsa did not look forward to the day the teacher would leave the school.


"Kouji, you will take my advice, yes?" she asked, her Ukrainian accent touching her words slightly as she uttered them. It was strange, as usually she just sounded like your normal American girl. Most people would never suspect her true homeland.




​

 

[twilight sparkle]

Kouji nodded and said"ok Elsa. Thanks." Smiling weakly. He looked up at the moon and smiled."this is beautiful huh?" Kouji sighed softly. "You know Elsa I gave you the tart as a peace offering. Not to flirt. I know I come off as a flirt but really I didn't have a good experience with girls. This one girl sigh I thought she was the one. But really she was only using me to get her ex jealous. And then she dumped me after she got what she wanted. Oh but nicholelett and nikki. They didn't let her get away with it. You should've seen it! Nikki had never used her powers for revenge. But that day she went crazy." Chuckling. "Sigh when nicholelett died we all took it hard. But not as hard as Nichole. We were all super close. The ones she could trust. Nichole barely smiled anymore after that day. She had to force herself to."


Nichole got her plate of food and hummed walking to the door. Her dress swishing behind her. She giggled and thought she was home free. And walked right into the door.

 

[Magikarp]

When Shinji returned the hug Blake felt his heart flutter beneath his chest. Warmth flooded over him, making him give a slight smile. However that was only for a few seconds as Shinji quickly let him go and walked away.


God dammit, I must have made him uncomfortable...wait what the hell did I just do!?


Standing there dazed, Blake shook his head to try and clear it. Though now that he thought about it when Shinji broke out of the hug like that it seemed...forced and after he looked a little stiff. Giving Shinji a thoughtful look Blake than turned around and headed for the shower. Once he entered the bathroom he stripped and hopped in. As the warm water sprayed and cascaded over his body Blake let his thoughts drift. He didn't know how to even react to their little hug fest. Blake was a little scared, worried, and confused. He was scared because some managed to break into his barriers and he only knew him for a day...but it seemed like much longer, worried because he didn't want this to end badly...not like before, and last but not least confused because of Shinji's reaction. At first he looked like he was into the hug but then he sort of just...denied it. Finishing up his shower Blake dried off and redressed. Blake looked in the mirror after he dressed seeing his right eye without it's eye patch...it wasn't even a real eye it was a milky white fake eye with a scar traveling from the bottom and top of it, stopping near the eyebrow. For a few seconds he stared at it until he felt tears prick his good eye. Then he placed the eye patch over it and exited the bathroom.


When he entered the other room he saw Shinji reading a book, however he didn't really look into it.


"Are you coming or are you going to pretend to read that book all day?" Blake asked him.

~Nurse Elsa Longstorm~


Before Elsa was able to ask Kouji why she would need a peace offering, he started to talk about his problems with women.


Well, at least it can't get anymore awkward than this.


Elsa listened, and let him vent. That was her job half of the time, anyway...she did feel bad for him, and said, "Well, women can be cruel...you just have to be very careful--"


Before she could continue, he started on the subject of his sisters, and how one of them has passed away. Elsa swallowed hard, and tugged at the scarf around her neck.


I stand corrected.


Elsa almost wanted to spill the beans on all of the problems she had at home, but she hardly knew this guy...besides, all of that was in the past. It didn't matter what had happened to her all of those years ago...she had moved on from it. There was no need in making others suffer by listening to her whining about something that was already said and done.


"I'm sorry about your sister."


That was all she could think of. What else was she supposed to say? Again, staring at her feet, Elsa once again untied the scarf around her neck (this time, stuffing it into her bag so it wouldn't blow away). She casually pulled out her cell phone and checked it. Nothing. She placed it back in the bag and looked up.


"Nobody ever texts me at this time of night..." she sighed, trying to lighten to mood.

​

 

[twilight sparkle]

Kouji looked at her. " no one texts you at this time? Thats kinda a shock. Nikki texts me nearly everything. I mean I can just say hello and I get back a big paragraph. Its silly. One my birthday she sends these sweet poems and stuff telling me happy birthday. She does that to everyone she meets who's birthday is that day. Its very sweet of her. But she always makes mine and our parents extra special. Nichole's goal is to make everyone smile and make their day. She will literally stop at nothing to brighten your day, even when she doesn't feel up to beat herself. Nichole just has that certain aura around her to cheer others up. Its in her personality. If you're sad she'll find the cutest animal pictures or videos


Or do something super silly. Thats what I love about my little sister. I always love baking sweets or designing clothes with her." Kouji smiled at the memories and took out his cell. "This was the very first dress I made for her." Showing elsa the picture of Nichole when she was little and had cute braids in her hair. She was smiling was wearing a cute white dress with ruffles.

 

[Emperor Shadow IV]

Mirabelle Ami


With a dirty shoeprint on her cheek and a man's face between her legs, a line had to be drawn. Rather than taking the typical approach and pushing him away, Ami smirked. I can have some fun with this.


Ami pulled out her phone and took a picture of John, then slipped her phone away. The click of the camera probably alerted him, as it should - But it wouldn't be any good. "It's interesting to know you're into that sort of thing," Ami joked. She started laughing, then slid backwards, leaving John face-down on the ground. Ami stood up and pulled John to his feet - She toyed with him a bit, now she might as well have a little class. Ami stopped laughing and looked John dead in the eyes. "Hm... What's going on between you and Lyra? Is there anything going on between you and Lyra?" A smirk spread across Ami's face. "Maybe you wouldn't mind me stealing her away from you. Ahahaha! Or maybe I ought to steal you away from her..." Ami grabbed John's wrist and started walking to the Student Party. "Adam and Eve!" Ami shouted, mocking John and laughing.


(Sorry about the short post with Maria. It's just a response and I didn't want to make Maria say too much. Oh, by the way, that feel when spellcheck recommends Hannah as a proper spelling of Ahahaha.)

​

Johnathon heard the 'click' of Ami's camera before feeling her body slip out from under him, landing his nose on the cold tile floor. Did I really deserve this? he thought, sighing in spite of himself. Next thing he knew, Ami was kindly helping him to his feet and showing greater courtesy than he had shown for her. Not that she deserved any of course (from his point of view), for in John's mind she was still nothing but a sexual harasser.


"It's interesting to know you're into that sort of thing."


The words finally registered with John, only adding to his embarrassment factor. Ami got a laugh out of it all, finding the situation apparently fun, but pleasure wasn't tolerated for Johnathon. His cheeks were stained a light red . . . again, and at first his body wobbled a bit. He wiped his lips lightly with the back of his hand before responding, reluctantly, "Thanks." An eye for an eye it seemed. John sighed again.


Ami jabbed at him again, this time about Lyra though. Johnathon met her gaze and replied evenly, and slowly, "Absolutely nothing." But there was still anger in his tone - an annoyance that, even granted sufficient time, would not dissolve easily. Altogether he ignored her comment about 'taking him away'; he couldn't seriously fall for a girl like her - an apparent homosexual. Was it possible he had fallen for Lyra though? Johnathon certainly didn't believe in love at first sight, after all, he barely even knew what love was, so he couldn't now, could he? Despite himself, he couldn't stop thinking about it. Soon Ami was dragging him away, and he offered no protest.


"I really think you just overreacted, but I will give you the benefit of the doubt and say you only did it because you like Lyra.."


Lyra again?! Johnathon's head snapped to attention, frowning directly into the gaze of Geno. "Wha-- huh?" he stuttered, glancing from side to side in search of Ami. She was gone. Perhaps the avenue was clear and safe enough to talk then; besides, Geno so far didn't bother him like most everyone else did. "Fine," John said, shoving both hands into his pockets in irritation. "Yes, I've been thinking of Lyra, but no I have-- God!" Stopping in place from where Geno and he had been walking, Johnathon rolled both his eyes, smothered his face with his hands in defeat. No, that is not what I meant to say! he inwardly cried, sneering down at the polished tile floor.


"Geno, look." Johnathon held up a hand to halt him, and with the other massaged his brow. "I'm not going to stand for sexual harassment in a music room." He emphasized this point strongly, looking Geno dead in the eyes. "In a music room," he repeated. Evidently this was one of John's most important points.


Continuing, he said, "What's more, Lyra is a friend, but not in the way you think. Now, that's that." John quickened his pace, hands back in his pockets, assuming Geno would follow. For now, the topic was closed for any further discussion, and bit by bit, John regained his usual composure. Luckily, walking directly forward, not having to think, helped relieve his mind of stress. Only the party was to worry about now.


@Kriyze


--


Ryuu's shift had ended for the day, or, rather, his day shift had ended. Locking away the typical cleaning supplies and adding an extra shine to his shoes using a mop, Hawthorne's janitor thrust the cleaning closet's keys into his pocket and strode toward the outdoors. Already the sun was low on the horizon, and it cast its dark golden glow across the now shadowed school grounds. This was typically Ryuu's favorite time of the day, simply for the quiet and mesmerizing look of the open sky. Fighting monsters at night wasn't that bad of a job. Of course, this night he was free, it being the first day of school, so the janitor had other plans. He nodded happily as his hand reached into the inside pockets of his coat and retrieved a rose - slightly crumpled and withered, but still in decent shape. "Elsa, I come for thee!" he cried with glee.


Under the night sky, most everyone who passed Ryuu were shadowed and hard to make out, but Elsa had a very distinctive figure. He knew he would find her. Then, sure enough, rounding the side of a building, the janitor beheld a brilliant pair of eyes beneath the shade of a blossoming tree; Elsa's eyes. His mouth opened wide for a greeting, but the man quickly shut it tight upon seeing another boy with the nurse. "The nerve of . . ." He trailed off, gently tucking the rose back inside his coat's breast pocket.


With a sudden burst of speed, Ryuu skidded to a halt beside Kouji, one arm raised to chop his back in half, the other prepared to buffet his stomach. "Explain yourself!" he shouted, oblivious to the phone in Kouji's hand, displaying a picture of his sister. Elsa and Kouji looked anything but suspicious together, but being the school's most flirtatious girl's boyfriend, Ryuu had learned to be extremely cautious.


@Rai\-Chan

 

[twilight sparkle]

Kouji blinked and looked up at the guy. "Where the hell did you even come from? And im just having a walk with elsa." Raising an eyebrow. He sighed and grabbed the guy's wrist. "Watch it. You really dont wanna do that. I will kick your butt since for me this is self defense. Not to mention my sis will also kick your ass." Letting go of his wrist. He rolled his eyes and sighed. "What do you want anyway?"

 

[Emperor Shadow IV]

Ryuu flung Kouji's wrist to the side and stared accusingly at him. "A walk?!" he blurted out in rage, half-tempted to swing the guy's legs out form beneath him. "WATCH IT BOY." Ryuu moved to Elsa's side and threw an arm around her shoulders, protruding the rose from his pocket as well, and handing it to her with grace. "My dear," he said simply, offering a smile, before turning his malice back on Kouji.


If there was one thing he hated above everything else, well, almost, it was when Elsa either voluntarily flirted with another guy, or when a guy so casually and confidently flirted with Elsa. Ryuu couldn't stand for either, and on one occasion, he nearly Jeet Kune Do'd the hell out of a pestering male. If he had, he certainly would have lost his job. This guy though, Kouji, seemed older than the typical students who attended Hawthorne, so for that he assumed the boy was another member of the staff, or possibly a relative visiting first day. He had mentioned a 'sister', after all.

 

[twilight sparkle]

And Nichole picked the right time to walk over. "Hey buddy. No one messes with onnii-chan. " glaring. "Hold my plates." Handing kouji her stack of plates. Kouji blinked then remembered how much she could put away. Nichole looked at ryuu and said"never.do.that. again." Her eyes going different colors. One amber the other green. It may look like nichole of all people couldn't fight in heels but hey if she could dance in heels and march. Then you're screwed over. "Onnii-chan was just having a nice walk and chat with miss elsa. Now please just leave them to it. Ok? Whats your name anyway?" Holding up a ball of water that turned into an ice dagger. " im serious and dont talk to him that way! What gives you the right?! Huh!? Would you like someone to treat you like how you treat them?!"

 

[Queen Rai]

~Nurse Elsa Longstorm~


Elsa squinted her eyes to look at the picture, and smiled. She had to admit, it was quite cute...he obviously had a talent for sewing, and she couldn't help but envy the delicate stitching on the dress. There were many mistakes, yes...but you could tell that he made it with love.


"Very cute...you do have a lovely--"


Elsa was cut off by a familiar voice. She spun around to see Ryuu skidding beside Kouji, and she clapped a hand over her mouth, at first out of shock, but then she was just trying to keep herself from laughing.


"Explain yourself!"


Elsa was about to take Ryuu's hand and explain the situation, but Kouji had grabbed the man's wrist before she could do anything. She gasped at the threat that Kouji uttered, and was ready to spring into action if anything started between the two...but what could she do? It's not like she had any amazing powers...what was she gonna do, sew their mouths shut?


Actually, it wasn't a bad idea...


Breathing a sigh of relief after Kouji released Ryuu's wrist, Elsa was about to say something...


Why didn't she expect Ryuu's reaction to Kouji's words?


He was angry, that was for sure...but she couldn't help but want to laugh at his actions. As he lovingly wrapped his arm around her and offered the rose, she took it gratefully and said, "Thank you, Ryuu."


And then he was back at Kouji's throat.


She shook her head slightly, giving a light laugh. Of course, she didn't actually expect a fight to happen...besides, they were both grown men. Surely they were both smart enough to know that if they were caught fighting it would cost them both of their jobs...right?


Elsa's thoughts were interrupted by a voice...it was also familiar. Turning once again, the nurse almost wasn't surprised to see Nichole storming towards them. She had obviously seen what had happened, and she obviously wasn't happy about it.


This was when Elsa started to worry.


The girl's eye flickered between colors as she yelled at Ryuu, threats flew, but Elsa didn't know if she should step in until Nichole had created a dagger...out of ice?!


The nurse immediately jumped in front of Nichole, her eyes narrowed as she said, "That is quite enough, Miss Kudo. I understand you are trying to defend your brother, but violence is never the answer to answer, no matter how justified it seems. I want you to put that thing down right this minute."


There was something about Elsa's voice that made people want to shut up and to what she told them...almost a motherly sort of quality. She was the type of person who could easily say, "Now, I'm going to count to three. One..."


And someone would take off running to do what she asked.


Elsa stepped forward, slipping her arm around Ryuu's in attempt to comfort him...or just calm him down. She thought it was quite adorable how the man got when she spoke to other guys. Of course, she never really feared him actually doing anything to them, but knowing that he cared enough to step in...it made her heart flutter.


"Ryuu, it's okay. He's just a friend, alright? His name is Kouji, and this is his sister, Nichole." she explained, lacing her the fingers of her free hand through his. She gently rubbed her thumb on his and gave a reassuring smile. Turning back towards Kouji, she said, "Kouji, this is my boyfriend, Ryuu."


She smiled, and surprisingly, her cheeks reddened slightly as she utered the word boyfriend. Thankfully, you couldn't really see her blush since it was dark out. Why was she blushing? She didn't really know. Just being able to call somebody that made her heart skip a beat.

​

 

[Emperor Shadow IV]

Ryuu was very ready to snap at the girl who next approached him. She had said, 'Onnii-chan', so he could only guess she was Kouji's fabled little sister. Perhaps having a Japanese influenced father helped after all, and he chuckled at the thought, however his thoughts were still set on the two people before him.


He was about to retaliate when Elsa stepped in front of him, and with the majestic way she had, tried to calm the situation. It certainly calmed Ryuu, whether it was from what she said or just his own infatuation with her. Regardless, he let his fists soften and drop limp.


But a thought came to him then - a little voice in the back of his head, if you will. He was Elsa's boyfriend. He was supposed to be the standard-bearer of the relationship. He was MAN. Allowing a woman to intervene and put her own self at risk was intolerable; Ryuu thought this was where he was supposed to act. Thinking so, he stepped up to Elsa's side, and lightly tapped his nose at the girl Nichole. "Darling," he said, "listen to Elsa. I don't know who you are, or who this fogey is," he pointed at Kouji while saying this, "but students aren't allowed to use their powers in such fashion. Scurry back to your party."





The rest of what the girl had said flew entirely over his head. A student, demanding his name?! It was intolerable, he thought. He was a staff member though, and certainly, in this situation, it was more proper for the student to act than for him to act against the student. Being a janitor is such a humbling position, he thought, wincing some.


"Ryuu, it's okay."


Ryuu beamed when Elsa spoke his name. Childlike as he often was, hearing her say his name ("And so elegantly too!" as Ryuu would put it), always brought a smile to his face. Certainly, her words brought an even calmer peace to him, and though deep down he hadn't seriously thought Elsa and Kouji were flirting with each other, it was reassuring nonetheless. He squeezed Elsa's hand back.


"Kouji, eh?" he remarked, giving the proper Japanese accent to the Japanese name. Heh. Pops would be proud, he thought. "And sister," he said more flatly, looking again at Nichole. His gaze was uninterested, bored even, as he looked at the girl. She had just threatened him with a knife, so his condescending sort of posture before the girl and her brother was partly excusable. Right now he didn't want to focus much on either of them anyways. Instead he glanced again at Elsa, 'breathing' in her entire, gorgeous, face with his hazel eyes.

 

[twilight sparkle]

Nichole growled and the grass started to freeze again. "I.said.stop. it." Kouji said"ok one. Do not speak to my sister like that. Two im not a fogey. Imuto calm down please?" His hand on her shoulder. Nichole turned to him and he saw her eyes. "Crap. Hey nikki look what onnii-chan got you!" Pulling out a stuffed pikachu. Nichole blinked and shaking her head and calmed down. "Huh? What the?" Looking around. "Pikachu! " hugging the plushie. "Pika pikachu." Nichole said speaking to it. Her eyes were back to hazel and she giggled smiling. Kouji sighed in relief. "Imuto you must get a hold on your emotions. You might not remember what happened earlier today. But you lost control of your powers. If that happens again then..." he stopped and bit his lip. He sighed and said"i want you to promise me. You'll train more with your powers and keep them under control." Nichole said"i-i lost control? B-but I always could control my powers. D-dad had showed me how..." looking down tears brimming her eyes. Kouji hugged her and said"what am I gonna do with you my sweet sister?" Rubbing her back. "Cheer up. You just need to work harder!" " He said and bit his lip. He was going to need to either get her into anger management or get her something that'll calm her down quick. Kouji said" hey wanna see something cool? " looking at his sis. Nichole nodded and he smiled using his wind and blew more cherry blossoms and made them into a star shape. "Pretty!" Nichole said her eyes sparkling.

 

[Queen Rai]

~Nurse Elsa Longstorm~


Elsa sucked in her cheeks as she watched Kouji calm his sister down...Nichole was definitely different, the nurse could tell that much by her violent mood swings. She would have to schedule a meeting with Kouji to find out more, since there was nothing out of the ordinary in her medical files.


Absently resting her head on Ryuu's shoulder, Elsa said, "Nichole, I apologize for anything I might've said to upset you..."


She reached into her bag, once again pulled out the purple scarf that had led her to Kouji in the first place, and held it out to the girl.


"I think purple is your color." she nodded, giving a small smile to the girl. "I want you to have this. I don't really like the way it looks on me, anyway..."


She momentarily stepped away from Ryuu, letting go of his hand, and placed the gift in the girl's hand. She crossed her arms and said, "Be careful with it, though. It tends to blow away whenever the slightest breeze passes through."


She turned to Kouji again, and said, "Thanks for the walk, Kouji...and sorry for Ryuu's behavior. My cell phone number is posted up at the infirmary if you want to talk about..."


Her eyes drifted over to Nichole, and she cleared her throat.


"...certain issues."


She then slipped underneath Ryuu's arm and gave the janitor a quick kiss on the cheek before saying, "Now, Ryuu, you know I adore you and I think you are the cutest guy in the world...but I want you to apologize immediately."


Her eyes glinted slightly (evilly) as she tilted her her.


"Understand?"

​

 

[twilight sparkle]

Nichole nodded and said"ooh its so pretty! " she hugged it close. It was a nice shade of orchid! Her favorite color of purple!"I'll take great care of it!" She gave her award winning smile. Kouji nodded and said"welcome elsa and thanks." Smiling. "Onnii-chan lets eat. Im starving. Plus I got enough for both of us. Buuuttt lets make this a contest. The one who can eat the most wins and the loser has to do any ridiculous thing the winner wants them to do."nichole said smiling.Kouji blinked then grinned." Deal. " they shook on it and sat under the tree. And set the plates down. "One." "Two." "THREE!" The siblings chowed down and ate as much as they could. Nichole was in the lead and drank some of her juice and went back to eating. Kouji wished he didnt agree to this. He ate more and finished first. "Done! Buuuurrrp. Excuse me." He wiped his mouth and smirked. Nichole pouted and finished her last plate." Darn it!" She crossed her arms and gave a bigger pout. "Even though that is the cutest thing in the world. Youre the one who started it. And you're gonna hold up your end of the bargain sis." Kouji said chuckling.

 

[Haruhi Suzumiya]

Maria Scarlette


Maria fell to her knees beside Veronica - Whatever just happened wasn't good. She could hardly follow what happened, there, but she knew it was bad - And Veronica looked hurt now. I can't carry her back to the room - She's bigger than I am. I can't leave her here to get help because what if that guy that was just here came back? Maria glanced nervously over Veronica, checking for any serious injuries - Luckily she couldn't find any. "Veronica, are you all right? Should I take you to see the nurse?" Maria pulled Veronica to her feet (with great difficulty) and held her right arm with both hands to help her balance, assuming she needed help balancing. Maria knew some basic first aid but nothing that would help with whatever just happened.


"Who was that guy? And why did he... He called you 'love'. What was with that? Do you have a horde of rabid exes I don't know about?" Maria laughed at her own joke internally, though the question was half-serious. "And with Force Lightning powers," Maria added. "Weird."

​

 

[Emperor Shadow IV]

Ryuu utterly and completely sighed as Elsa handed the girl Nichole her scarf. There she went again, being overly nice and considerate. He had to admire her though; she was one of the kindest people he had ever met, once you really got to know her that is. By her side Ryuu always felt a surge of happiness.


However, a small pinch of annoyance swelled in Ryuu as Elsa apologized for his supposedly bad behavior. He clenched his jaw and considered tickling the nurse for that, but finding he had overreacted above what was normal, he let it slide and chuckled. He nudged her with his elbow, throwing her a sheepish smile. Though, hearing that Kouji had Elsa's cellular number, a small, but noticeable, frown bent his lower lip. It was to be expected, probably hundreds of guys at the school needed the nurse's number, but Ryuu couldn't still his brief annoyance on the subject. Linking his arm with hers certainly helped derive his thoughts. "You naughty little thing," he whispered into Elsa's ear.


"Now, Ryuu, you know I adore you and I think you are the cutest guy in the world...but I want you to apologize immediately."


Ryuu's jaw dropped in immediate protest, as he scanned Kouji over again with a nasty look. "Elsa, darling," he replied as evenly as possible, turning to her with a mildly hurt look on his face, "I love you more than the world can contain, but I . . . I cannot apologize to a lowly flirt like him!"





Now he had done it. Tightening his grip on Elsa's arm, Ryuu visibly winced. "Sorry," he said, bowing his head. "Erm . . ." His gaze lifted to Kouji again. "My apologies." Though he had initially fought back, his defiance was short lived, and once more Elsa had tamed Hawthorne's janitor. Not only is being a janitor humbling, but a boyfriend too, he mused to himself, chuckling a little.

Kouji said"no harm done. Just dont do it again ok? And im not a lowly flirt." Standing. "Imuto its your curfew." Nichole said"but im not sleepy!" Kouji gave her a look. "Ok if you say so. But you wont get. This!" Pulling out a body pillow that had nichole's favorite anime guy. Dark from D.N. angel. Nichole made a jump for it. "Mine!" Kouji side stepped and chuckled. "You will have it tomorrow. If you go to your dorm and go to bed." He said. "Can I stay up longer? The moon shining on down like this makes the night so romantic." Nichole said sighing dreamily. " no sister of mine is thinking about her first kiss now!" Kouji said being over protective brother. " cant a girl dream?" Nichole said pouting. "Imuto..." kouji said narrowing his eyes. "Onnii-chan...." Nichole said narrowing her eyes as well. "I shall have my first kiss either by sunset or under the moon light under the cherry blossom tree someday!" "Never you will not get a boyfriend! You are to stay innocent and pure." They started to argue then just cracked up. "Ah but seriously onnii-chan it will happen eventually. You never know~" Nichole said as she started to walk to her dorm.

~Nurse Elsa Longstorm~


"You naughty little thing."


Elsa couldn't stop herself from smirking at that as he leaned down and whispered in her ear. She wrapped her arm around his neck as he leaned towards her, and gently kissed the lobe of his ear, gently nipping at it with her teeth. She did this often, and giggled at the results she would get.


She had him. She knew she had him. She straightened up, and chuckled slightly at his protest about apologizing. She already knew that he was going to give in and just apologize. When he did, she grinned and said, "Good boy!"


Elsa stood up on her tiptoes and gave him another kiss, this time her mouth touched near the corner of his mouth. She smiled up at him, and gently rubbed the small kissy mark her lipstick had left on his cheek with her thumb. He was dreadfully cute, so she couldn't help acting the way she did towards him. Of course, she didn't treat the male students at the school much differently, but there was obvious chemistry between Ryuu and Elsa. You could tell how much they liked eachother. Even if Elsa was constantly flirting with other people, she did it halfheartedly. She never really meant what she did or said to them...but with Ryuu? Everything she said, every compliment, every kiss, every gesture...they were all absolutely genuine. She really loved him.


Elsa looked back at Kouji and Nichole, and they seemed to be fine. Elsa smiled, slipped from underneath Ryuu's arm, lacing her fingers through his as she did. Without a single word, she started to walk, pulling him slightly along with her. She cherished every moment she had alone with Ryuu...which was strange, because the time that the couple actually spent together was a lot...it's just this sort of time. The romantic moments that had grown to be so rare...she smiled, and found herself leaning on him once again.

Nichole hummed hugging her pikachu plushie close."so cute! I shall name you jesse!" Nichole said getting a kitty smile. "Purr yay I sound like nepta! Now I must a cave!" Nichole said to herself giggling. She then walked into someone. "Oof! Sorry about that. I was lost in thought." She said blushing embarassed. She straightened her dress and looked up. "You look familiar. Have we met befurr?" Nichole said tilting her head. Her curly hair bounced as she did that and her hazel eyes eyed the teen. 'Maybe I can have someone whos like karkitty! Giggle I need to stop watching homestruck comics. But they are too purrrfect!' Nichole thought giggling. (@Akihito)

Ryuu giggled as Elsa rubbed around the lipstick mark she had left on his cheek. In the fast approaching light of night, his yellowish hazel eyes shed a merry glint in the darkness. He ruffled her hair in a loving way, he knew it could get to her which made him laugh, and plopped a kiss on top of the nurse's head. "What if," he chuckled, the corner of his mouth forming a smirk, "you and I flew to the top of that building," he pointed to a tall building across from where they stood, "beneath the stars, and gazed at the night sky until morning take us?" He was no longer smirking, but full on grinning now, but before he could continue with his dreamy fantasy, Elsa had taken him by the hand. They were off, with Ryuu being dragged along at first like a little puppy.


As they walked, and the darkness drew them closer and closer into its clutches, Ryuu subtly slipped his hand from Elsa's and wrapped his arm around her waist instead. Her head on his shoulder sent a warm and fuzzy feeling up his spine, and caused the butterflies to flutter in his stomach. She had a knack for making him feel like this whenever they cuddled or stayed close together. It had been a while since they first began dating, a long while now, and even though they never got out much to go on actual dates, Ryuu was quite satisfied with the time they were privileged to spend with one another. He soon found himself breathing slowly, and in time with Elsa, as the two figures walked around the dark campus.


Presently, Ryuu stopped them both in their tracks and spun around to face Elsa, gently releasing his arm from around her waist. He was perfectly silent for a moment, gazing into her eyes and allowing her to gaze into his, as they stood but a foot apart from each other. Then, wrapping his arm around her back, Ryuu pulled her in close until their bodies were touching. With his free hand, he tilted her chin, and, with a smile, leaned down to kiss her. He held it for a moment before releasing Elsa's lips. "If there was just one out of the thousands of reasons to be with you, Elsa," he said softly, "that would be it."
