Under the Shadow of The Old Oak Tree (Rp)

Elle hit her forehead "Ohhh!" she smiled and said "good jays work is better than the main one" she said noddig in aproval she lent inti him more as she began to feel tired her arm was still across his stomach and she yawned again slowly falling asleep
 
"I'll take your word on that then..."


he was quiet as she fell asleep on him... a shame he wasn't tried, but he wasn't complaining, he put an arm around her and lay there, letting her sleep next to him
 
* time skip *


Elle groaned as the room filled with light and burried her head in his neck not knowing that it was him and not a pillow she didnt want to move as sh was confortable. it was lateish and the door opened and student poked their head in and giggled
 
Damian had fallen asleep awhile ago, his head was laying back over the top of the chairwith his head rolled back his neck was fully exposed, as the student stuck their head in and giggled, he let out a groan.


his groan was deep and made his throat vibrate like a (censored) he moved his head a bit and he saw the student "ugh... bugger off kid..." he lifted his head up, seeing Elle there


"hey.. come on, wake up..."
 
Elle opened heseyes and sat there like a cute todler rubbing her eyes the kid scrambled of and she blushed a bright red she smiled and loomed at her watch "wow is your neck ok?" she asked him concerned. she got up and tried to pull him up managing just and she groaned "your heavy" she joked
 
Damian actually went up kind of easy, he lifted himself up mostly, his nexk was still up


"yeah just.."


he forced his head back to normal, and audible "crack" could be heard as he rolled his head around, limbering it back up for the day ahead


"yeah a kink in the neck is nothing, dont worry about it"


he looked at the toddler in the doorway


"a student?"
 
Elle smiled and said "well if u r sure . .. . " she giggled and opened her arms for the kid who ran into then she smiled and hugved the little girl. "no a family friends daughter" Elle smiled and lufted her up and said "Hailie this is prince damian im getting married to him." she smiled and hailie looked at him shyly and said "hellow" sh grinned and hid her face in elles hair
 
Damien leaned down, holding a hand out to the little girl


"hello there... its very nice to meet you Hailie" he said smiling in a friendly tone.
 
As planned Cash, Koga, Raph and Tamotsu met in the market. Meeting in public was the only way to make it not look like they were up to something. Tamotsu had a ugly frown scowled acrossed his face, his encounter with his younger brother still burning him to the core. Cash knew that look and knew just how to cheer him up. He walked over to him, smug grin and all, throwing hos arm around his dear friends shoulder and pulled something out of a familuar pink box. "Pocky?". he asked as he offered his friend a favored japanese treat. Tamotsu for a moment looked at the offering then smirked, "Winning me over with deserts and delights again Cash?" His friend laughed throwing his head back, "I knew how to get women to like me by practicing on you Tamo." Tamotsu shot him a nasty glare as Cash walked back over to Koga and Raph, laughing hard, bent over like he had been kicked by a mule. Tamotsu face was blank for a minute retorting, "Ya know....it wasn't that funny." Cash did everything he could not to laugh, snickering as he whipped a tear jerking at his eye, "Yeah maybe not to you!" Tamotsus face grew unamused as the rest of his friend chuckled with Cash while he made a pouting face. Cash and the others stopped and Tamotsu finally smile in Cashes direction saying, "Thanks man...I needed that." The teasing was just a way for Cash to get whatever it was on Tamotsus mind off of it. They knew each other so well they could just tell by one look what to say or do help the other out. Koga shuffled in his pants pocket then and walked over to Tamotsu showing him a few pictures, "Here...you might want to take a good long and hard look at this...ya might see someone we know." Kogas face was calm and even, Tamotsus smile fading. Cash narrowed his eyes in Kogas direction, personally thinking he started their talk a bit too soon. Raph started to speak aloud, his voice always soft and distant, "Do you remember three years ago...when a girl at our school had been burtally beaten in the girls locker room? Do you remember how for awhile it was blamed on a group of girls until one of the guys responcable came forward? Well their leader was successfully captured and went into hiding....in that picture...thats him." Tamotsu face turned harsh, his eyes the only thing moving up to look at Raph, "And? What does this have anything to do with us?" Raphs eyes didn't waver, in face the seemed to become more intense and focused, "His Underlings posed as our own...and attacked Miss Elle in an attempt to frame us...hes starting a Gang War Tamotsu...and we're the targets." Tamotsu stared at the face in that picture, stared at it long and good before returning the photos back to Koga, "Good work. Who gave these to you?" Koga spoke up then answering, "One of our female informents. She was snooping around and happened to get a good look at him, then snapped these pictures. She said she followed them for a bit but after that took off, said she had a feeling they knew she was there." Koga selected the third picture of their enemy and held it up, "As you can see hes looking right at her...smiling for the picture. He wanted us to know Tamo...this wasn't a secret." Tamotsu narrowed his eyes and walked up next to Koga, speaking up so the three would hear him, "As of right now we're going to have check ins and location text messages. No one is allowed to ignore the call. If they do, they will be considered one of the enemies spies. Our memebers know this procedure and they know what we're trying to do. So if there is a spy with them...they'll be delt with. This will get rid of a large amount of them. Then it will be investigating and watching the suspicous ones. After that....we make our move."


Koga smirked, the sound of a War was exciting to him. Fighting was one of his guilty pleasers and he loved nothing more then the feeling of your body sore and aching from a brutal beating you had just given someone. Kogas family was poor like Tamotsus but they were in no way the same. Tamotsus still had family values, very high ones at that. Kogas was far different and was his reason for joining the Gang. His father was an abusive piece of garbage and his mother was always too terrified to say anything. Koga however never learned to keep his mouth shut and he was the main focus for the beatings most of the time. He grown so accutomed to pain that he started to like it. And when he became bigger then his father he beat him within an inch of his life. Koga wanted to finish the job and end it, end his father so him and his mother could finally live in peace. But his mother struck him and he had stumbled back in utter confusion. She said he had become just like him and that she couldn't believe what he had done. This woman, that he always had felt bad for was protecting the trash that inflicted so much pain on her...and was disowning her only child for him. Koga couldn't really get a grasp around that, no in fact he just didn't get it. He remembered how hard he started laughing, the pain, frusteration and confusion mixing into all one twisted emotion. His last words to her were so clear in him mind, even today, "Well I guess theres no point helping others who won't do a damn thing to help themselves. You want to pick him....fine...hes your problem now." The Gang became his new family, they were his family. And if anyone ever threatened them he was at the front lines, ready to fight them until his life had been expended. Tamotsu used to share that same feeling, fighting because it was enjoyable, for the thrill. But now things had changed and he acted more level headed. Somehow it made Koga respect Tamotsu more as a leader and as a friend.


Koga looked at Tamotsu and put his hand on his shoulder, "Look man we'll find these little bastards and then we'll deal with douche bag. I got you're back." Cash added to that note, "We all got your back Tamo. We'll get this guy and when we do we're gonna drop his sorry ass right in front of the King, and let him cook 'em for dinner." Raph smirked saying, "Just think...we could become heros. A Gang thats not bad." Tamotsus eyes became softer with a small smile, "That'd be cool wouldn't it?" But he knew even if they did become better the problems were all still the same. Fights would brake out, Wars would be started and his younger brother would get no where in life. It was a nice suggestion, and if it were possible for it to work in his favor...maybe he'd have some hope. But he knew one day...he'd have to choose. And on that day he'd have to, would he be able to? As the four of them walked down the street together he kept his mouth shut. Honestly he just didn't know. He just didn't have an answer for that question right now. Tamotsu just listened to the voices of his friends, hoping the inevitable wouldn't come.


The light of the sun was coming and the streets had been empty for hours. Tamotsu, Raph, Koga and Cash were all hanging out at the stadium, right next to a no traspassing sign. Cash was slouching in his seat while Raph sat on the top of his seats head rest. Koga was standing, looking out onto the stadium, thinking. Tamotsu was nipping away at a half eaten piece of pocky, Cash ending up forfeiting his box to him. Kogas voice came out rough, braking the calm silence, "Tamo....why don't you play Guitar anymore?" Tamotsu looked up at Koga but his back was turned to him, still blankly staring out. Shrugging he remarked, "Its not like I got any time for it anymore. Besides its a lost cause. Just a dream gone dead. Why you ask?" Kogas monatone drawl came back in, answering him, "Cause, I think you should pick it back up again. You were pretty damn good. I'd like to hear you play that song you used to play again...here at the stadium." Tamotsu and Cash both lunged forward in their seats disbelieving in Kogas words as Raph took enjoyment at laughing at the twos dramatic responce. Tamotsu struggled to find words, "You're kidding right? I haven't played in months! Im probably no good now. And you want me to go up there and throw myself to the wolves?" Koga shrugged and finally turned around, facing Tamotsu, "Sure, run with you're tail between your legs. But I thought, together, as a family we all could play together and show these people we got more to offer then just trouble. You wanted to prove you've changed, to show your little brother theres more to life then just fighting...then show him Tamo. Show him you still got a voice and you're not some chump like he thinks you are." Tamotsu just blankly stared at Koga, his words...were true. He was right, his brother was disappointed in him. Tamotsu had to show him more then just anger and strict rules. His brows farrowed down a bit determined, "You still know how to play the drums right?" Koga smirked smuggly saying, "Like my life depended on it." Cash streched in his chair before standing up yawning, "Well I guess I'll have to get practicing as second lead guitar. Been awhile but I can't say I don't miss it." Raph smile with his eyes closed, "My bass is all waxed and ready to go. So what do you say Tamo-kun...care to take the lead again?" Tamotsu let of laugh leave his breath as he spoke, "Yeah...lets do this." That morning they put a request to enter in the festival under the entertainment section.


As they were about to leave Tamotsu grabbed Cashs shoulder making him turn around. Cash had a face of question and asked, "Whats up Tamo? Need somethin'?" Tamotsu didn't really like asking for favors but just this one time he wanted to prove his worth, "Yeah I kinda do....do you think I could borrow one of your suits for today? I'll give it right back after Im done its just....well Koga doesn't own any suits and Raph is shorter then I am. You're the only one the same hight as me. I'd buy one but -", Cash silenced him with a smirk and spoke, "Do you really have to go on and on about it? Of course you can borrow one of my suits man, I don't care about that crap. You know if you ever need anything from me you got it. Hell I'll even let you keep it. Sound good?" Tamotsu felt a slight bit of shame for asking his friend but it was whipped away by his words, "Thanks Cash, I owe you one." Cash chuckled remarking, "Technically you owe me alot but we'll go with that." His laughs didn't end, Tamotsu face was a priceless sneer. Patting his friend on the shoulder he walked with him heading to the richer devision, "Come on dude, we'll get you all cleaned up alright? Mind if I ask what is this all for?" Tamotsus head dipped a bit and muttered, "I gotta prove to someone that we all aren't as we appear." Cash raised a brow, "Eh? You doing this for some girl?" Taomtus face had a flush of red and he instantly becare defencive, "LIKE HELL IT IS! I got a job interveiw today with her father so I gotta look good to make sure I get the job!" Cash started up his laughing again and replied, "Her father. Wow Bro you couldn't have made it any less convincing then you just did. Ah hahahah man you crack me up! Sure man, I make you look sexy for your date." Tamotsu eyes got sharp, brows downward and his voice loud, "ITS NOT A DATE!" Cash just walked ahead shaking his head, "Hey now you don't gotta convince me. Your secrets safe with me?" He put his finger to his lips and winked, the sun making his eyes visable behind his shades. "SHUT THE HELL UP!!"


The whole way back Cash was shoot comments and remarks to him all that morning, Tamotsu hadn't been that embarressed in a long time. But when 11 O' clock rolled around he was there. Dressed sharp with his orange hair slicked back and his last piece of pocky in his pocket. It was form fitted and a bit tight on him. Even though him and Cash were the same height they were exactly the same size. But thanks to a personal talior they were able to make it work for him. It was a traditional all black jacket and matching pants, with a grey button up shirt. Cuff links kept the sleeve nice and neat. And at the last mintue they had bought him a nice shiney pair of dress shoes to make the whole look comeplete. With the first top few buttons undone on his collared shirt he waited for Isis to come pick him up and take him to her father to meet him. His hand were tucked away in his pockets and he couldn't help but feel slightly nervous and a bit out of his element in that outfit. He just hoped she'd be able to reconize him.
 
Jayson awoke with a frustrated groan, his head aching and a strange tingling sensation in his arm as the circulation rushed through the limb. he glanced around in bleary eyed confusion and cursed. He must have fallen asleep working late last night. He grunted something unintelligable and pushed back from the bench. He saw Elle's sword lying half finished in front of him and cursed again.


'MICHAHAEL! GET ME SOME COFFEE WOULD YOU?!' he called out, rubbing the sleep from his eyes and straightening his shirt slightly. He began to work the fire again, getting it hot enough to finish the sword, yawning. His younger brother came in with the coffee a moment later, just as the fire was roaring to life.


'We've been invited to the wedding today. Do you intend to go?' He asked. Michahael shrugged.


'Might as well. i have nothing better to do. Besides, you can't carry all of those swords by yourself.' He said, trying not to thnk about how he would have to show his face at the palace... in front of the royal family. He bit his lip lightly before sighing and going back upstairs to prepare. Might as well look good right? If he was going to be thrown in prison he at least wanted to look SEMI-decent.


~~


Isis sat on her bed, gazing blankly at the wallpaper as her mother walked in, opening the curtains.'There, let some sunlight in. Brighten this room up.' The woman said with a smile. She looked over at Isis, frowning. 'Isis, love, you've got to stop this. You can't mope over this whole scenario with your bother forever.' She touched her shoulder but was met with silence. She sighed, turning to walk away. 'You used to be such a happy girl.. Isis, what happened?' This caused her to snap.


'What happened?! You want to know WHAT HAPPENED? My brother was EXILED! For a crime he didn't commit! And you guys just swept him under a rug, like he was nothing, not part of our family anymore! You hired all of these servants with terrible pasts, accepting them. But you couldn't accept your OWN SON! Mother, you sicken me. You sicken me to the very core. Just get out of my room. Leave me alone!' She snapped, glaring daggers at the woman. Her mother looked like she was close to tears as she left the room and a brisk walk, hesitating at the door before hastily exiting as her daughter shot her a vicious glare. The girl couldn't believe the indignance of it all. How could they just forget about their eldest child? It made her want to be sick. She glanced at the clock, frowning slightly as she noticed the time. 9:30. And she still had to make sure her dad understood everything. plus she needed to get ready. Slowly she moved to the wardrobe, searching for something suitable. After a moment she settled for an emerald green affair, one that would bring out the green flecks in her eyes as she very well knew. A moment later she was dressed and examining the dress in the mirror. It fit snugly, emphasising her curves and accentuating everything that it was meant to. It wasn'tthat she was trying to impress anyone, it was just that she always tended to focus more on her appearance if she was upset, mostly so they couldn't tell she was distraught. People would come to fear the day that she let her attire slacken, for they would know something was definately wrong.


Running a brush through her hair one last time she left the room, traipsing downstairs and noticing how most of the staff avoided her gaze as she passed them. It was no surprise. They were all very careful about what they said when she was around, particularly since her brother's exile. She walked into her father's study where he stood looking over a few reports. He looked up as she entered, a slightly terse smile on his face which told her that her mother had been speaking to him already.


'Ah, Isis, we need to have a chat.' She raised an eyebrow at him, shaking her head slightly. 'It'll have to wait. I need to talk to you about the job opening we discussed yesterday. I just.. I feel like there are a few things I should tell you...'


With only fifteen minutes till eleven, she was heading out of the house and towards the market district again. Her skirts swished around her ankles as she walked, a satisfying sound to her ears. She was going to be okay. She had to remind herself that everything would be alright. She couldn't help but feel that she ought to bring something to make up for her rudeness the day before. But she had no idea what kind of things he liked. She considered a basket of fruit or somethign but that was too cliche, and far too tacky. She shook her head. No, that would never do. Besides, he wasn't the fruit basket type. She sighed, glancing around for any idea. That was when her gaze fell upon the small oriental shop hidden between a couple of washing lines. She entered the small stall and was slightly surprised by the quaint interior. The small japanese woman hobbled over, smiling at her. 'Can i help you?' She asked in a broken dialect. Isis smiled nervously. 'I..uh.. I was looking for a gift.. for a friend. Only I don't know what he likes.' She bit her lip slightly. The woman smiled cheerfully at her. 'you tell me what he like and I tell you what i know.' She said with a friendly smile. Isis shrugged to herself. It couldn't hurt surely. She described Tamo as best she could, both looks and personality. When she was done the old woman smiled, her eyes closing almost completely as she stood up, patting Isis' hand. 'I know thing you need.' She hobbled over to a small shelf and pulled a small box from the shelf, hobbling back and handing it to her. 'Take this. Tamo is a good friend of ours. He good boy. Loves pocky.' She smiled warmly and Isis returned the smile with her own nervous edge, paying and thanking the old woman before leaving. Now she only had to hope she didn't mess up.


Just as it brushed past eleven, she approached the spot, fidgeting rather nervously when she saw him from a distance. He wore a dark suit which strangely contrasted nicely with his red hair and tall, slightly intimidating appearance. She almost laughed, simply out of shock. She felt bad for her words yesterday and so she hesitated near the centre of the square before steeling her nerves and striding over, fixing her hair and smiling slightly at the others in the area. As she approached him she was even more taken aback. She was almost speechless for a moment. 'Hi.. Sorry i'm a bit late. I had a bit of an... issue this morning before i left the house. And then it occured to me I should give you something to make up for how rudely I treated you yesterday. So i was looking for something to give you and found this little oriental store that I've never even noticed before and the woman said she knew you and suggested this.' She blushed, realising she was rambling slightly as she passed the box to him.


'She said it was Pock.. Pokey.. or something.. I'm sorry, I'm not very with it today..' She bit her lip again, before looking back up at him. You look brilliant, by the way. I shouldn't have expected anything less. i just.. Well there aren't any words to pardon my behaviour.' She said after a moment, lapsing into silence. 'I just want to say, i'm so very sorry for treating you like I did. It was completely unjust of me to do so and I hope you'll accept my apology.' She said, taking a deep breath, smiling nervously. She wasn't sure why she cared so much about him. Why should she give a damn what some commoner thought of her? Why? Because she cared. She wanted acceptance, and that was from everyone, not just her social circles.
 
Tamotsu was looking around, knowing it was past 11 O' clock. He muttered under his breath, "Where the hell is she...better not had been joking about this." He was hoping he wasn't getting stood up. He imagened her laughing to her little social circle, bragging how she tricked some simpleton into thinking he got a job working for her family. How embarressing...to be played like a fool and only be taunted by his own thoughts, not being able to say what he thought to their faces. It was until then he heard her voice, his face a look of slight surprise. In all honesty he wasn't sure she'd show. The look on her face though...threaten to make him flush. Her eyes trailed over him, taking in his whole appearence. She could hardly speak herself, stunned by his apparel, "Hi.. Sorry I'm a bit late. I had a bit of an... issue this morning before I left the house. And then it occured to me I should give you something to make up for how rudely I treated you yesterday. So I was looking for something to give you and found this little oriental store that I've never even noticed before and the woman said she knew you and suggested this." Her small delicate hand held a box of his favorite flavor of Pockey, Strawberry. He was a bit taken back by this, he didn't expect her to apologise let alone come here with a gift for him. "She said it was Pock.. Pokey.. or something.. I'm sorry, I'm not very with it today..You look brilliant, by the way. I shouldn't have expected anything less. I just.. Well there aren't any words to pardon my behaviour. I just want to say, i'm so very sorry for treating you like I did. It was completely unjust of me to do so and I hope you'll accept my apology." She appeared very nervous. Did she really want his approval that badly that it was a dire need? Tamotsu said in a slightly soft tone, "But I had nothing for you to bring..." Her expression seemed to be a bit embarressed, his features much more gentle then he thought. Adding he said, "And you're words were good enough, You didn't have to go out of your way and buy me something. If you mean it...then its good enough for me." He couldn't be angry with her anymore, she went through all the trouble to try and make it up to him. Least he could do was accept her apology and more forward from there. Personally he had hoped things would get patched up, he didn't want any hard feelings while he worked with her father. Then his bowed to her, head down and eyes closed, "Thank you, I accept your apology," his head lifted then as he spoke her name, his expression seirous and respectful, "Isis..." For a moment there he could have swore he saw a flash of red across her face but he thought maybe he was seeing things. Standing up right he thought for a moment and then exclamed, "Ah! Acctually I can give you something...though it isn't much." He pulled out the box Cash gave him and removed his last stick of chocolate pockey, "Here try it. Its pretty good, I've gotten everyone I've had try it hooked on it. Hopefully you'll be able to resist." He smirked then, his more playful nature coming back to life, like he did the night before. Giving it to her he relaxed more, his suit no longer really bothering him. He looked down at his gift and then tucked it away into his pocket. Tamotsu then looked up to be greeted by that same smile she gave him before. It was a simple gesture he had given her but, was she really that moved by him? Does she not have any friends? It seemed like any thread of kindness effected her much more then the average person. He also noticed her need to be accepted. He doubted she wanted that to be obvious but with the way she was acting, it was hard to ignore. Speaking his mind he asked in a cool tone, with his head tipped a bit, "You're....a lonely person...aren't you?" Again he failed to keep his features straight, appearing softer then intended. His eyes met with hers and for that moment, silence hung in the air. "Its alright if you don't want to answer, you don't have to. But...I can't help but notice", his eyes trailed over her face, trying to see weather she'd be insulted or embarressed by his words.
 
She took the pocky hesitantly, biting into it and smiling after a moment, laughing slightly. It was a surprising taste, but she didn't mind it. 'It's not bad.' She said, flashing him her smile again. She was going to say something more when he spoke again. 'You're... a lonely person... aren't you.' The words hit her with some force and she looked up at him with surprise, relaxing again only slightly when he hastily told her she didn't have to answer. She looked to the ground, a hand reaching up to hold on to her necklace nervously. She bit her lip again, a habit she'd developed over time, and slowly began to answer. 'I...I suppose I am. I.. Never really thought about it before.' She sighed, sinking to a sitting position on the ground in front of the crappy little restaurant, burying her face in her hands. She didn't know why she was so stressed lately. Well she did.. but it wasn't like the same issues hadn't been there about a month ago. Maybe it was just taking its toll on her now. She bit her lip again, it having become a habitual thing whenever she was nervous or uncertain. She looked up at Tamotsu and gave a slight laugh, noticing how he towered above her. 'You know, you're the first person that's even taken notice of that fact. Anyone else doesn't look past the surface.' She gestured to her appearance that she had so carefully put together. 'I mean.. I make it that way, so that no one asks questions, but you did anyway. Why is that? Why do you read me so easily? Why did you even bother turning up? I mean, I could have been pulling your leg, I could have been one of those horrible people that get someone's hopes up simply to crush them. I'm not of couirse, but I could have been.' She said, standing up and dusting herself off. Gently she reached out, straightening his collar only slightly. She flashed him a smile as she ran her hands down the front of the suit, flattening the edges so they rested evenly on his chest. Her smile barely faultered as she studied him again.


'You really do look fantastic.' She said before blushing at her own words. 'I mean.. um..' She cast her gaze at the ground again, her cheeks a soft scarlet in colour. After a moment she seemed to regain her composure, glancing back up at him. 'We'd better not keep my father waiting. He's impatient sometimes.' She said eventually, turning to glance at the clock which towered above the market district. 11:15. Time to go. She turned back to Tamotsu, flashing him a slightly nervous smie. 'You ready?'

(I Am Terribly Sorry Everyone TT^TT. I went to my grandparents for the weekend and didnt know they cut the internet til I got there T^T.)


Jonah really didn't have a successful day yesterday as he was out shopping for a few minutes. He Had never really got any sleep as light filtered into his bedroom through the silk curtains. "Damian is really home" was what he kept thinking about especially when he found out though a conversation happening on a street. Jonah normally would have been happy to see him that day but of course have never really heard any news from him directly the entire day. He sighed deciding to finally make the effort to get out the bed and get himself prepped for the day. Many thoughts passed through his head which only got worse over time after hearing the first thing he would accomplish was too get married. "Maybe he only came back to become the first in line again" Jonah thought hoping as hard as he could that he was wrong. After stepping in and out the shower he looked at what his private assistant, Sebastian, left out for him. It was nothing but the normal attire with the sort of royal weddings except of course he was given a white cape that looked as if it was meant to be a robe. He looked at it excessively turning it over in his hands, he knew almost everyone in the family were given a certain trademark of appearance and clothes like these were his. After setting the clothes down and putting on his normal royal robes he sat down in front of the mirror as if on cue Sebastian walked in offering to manage his hair. He had always like to be independent mostly after Damian's Exile, But was convinced by his parents to hold more trust in the service provided by the staff of the palace. After he was done too many thoughts of his brother were running into his head as he stood up quickly finishing the last little of details of his attire before putting on his shoes and socks. He stormed downstairs into the teachers hallway, He knew class was starting soon but he had to either find Damian or his bride as he started knocking and looking into each door.
 
Tamotsu watched her, her nervous reaction making him notice how oblivious she was to her own need. Playing with her necklace, her teeth bit down onto her lower lip before speaking, "I...I suppose I am. I.. Never really thought about it before." She slunk down and crouched in a sitting possition. Her face appeared slightly disappointed, as if her secret was out. It looked like she had slipped away to thoughts she tried burying. Tamotsu stood mere feet from her, looking down at her seemingly much larger looking then before. She had taken notice of this and laughed, but he could tell it was threaded with some symbol of stress, "You know, you're the first person that's even taken notice of that fact. Anyone else doesn't look past the surface. I mean.. I make it that way, so that no one asks questions, but you did anyway. Why is that? Why do you read me so easily? Why did you even bother turning up? I mean, I could have been pulling your leg, I could have been one of those horrible people that get someone's hopes up simply to crush them. I'm not of course, but I could have been." Truth was it had crossed his mind but he figured it better to keep that to himself, he didn't want to making things ackward between them again. She then patted her self down and stood up, advancing towards him. Tamotsu watched her as she adjusted his collar and suit. She seemed to be more fond of him when he dressed this way. He honestly didn't feel right, it was strange to own such nice clothing. Though it was the best suit money could buy. Cashes taste was never cheap but he always had the money to afford it. He was thankful he didn't judge him when he first met Cash, giving him a chance to not be labled with stereotypes. And because he had given her a second chance he was able to see that she too proved the stereotypical terms wrong. She had taken her time fixing his appearence before mutterig aloud, "You really do look fantastic." Her face instantly turned red, Tamotsu slightly smirking, noticing she spoke before thinking. She then fumbled with her words, not really too sure how to recover from that, "I mean.. um.." He simply raised a brow at her while she took a few seconds to regain her composure. Glancing up she changed the subject, no doubt trying to over look her comment, "We'd better not keep my father waiting. He's impatient sometimes." Her form turned from him then as her hips swayed in a very femine motion. Looking back at him she gave a weak smile asking him, "You ready?" He grinned remarking, "I've been ready. Its you who I've been waiting on." His chuckle left his lips, masculine and dark as he strode up next to her. The both of them headed for the high class division and left the slums.


On the way to her home they were quiet, only the sound of their footsteps clicking acrossed the ground was heard. Tamotsu was perfectly fine with heading there in complete silence. But when he happened to glance over he noticed the nervous look on her face. His breath leaving him in a small huff he spoke up, "Hmph....so I guess your Dad isn't just your Dad to you, hes someone you look up to ain't he?" His eyes stayed on her, her smooth feartures turning up to share that gaze with him."What he thinks means alot to you..", he replied as his right hand came up to scratch the lower part of his broad neck. It was easy to see which parent kids favored. Tamotsu loved his father but he leaned more towards his mother, simply cause she was home more the spend time with him during his childhood. It was never anything they'd do intentally, it just happened. With her, he could tell that her fathers opinion ment alot to her. If he didn't approve of him then she'd feel like a fool for suggesting Tamotsu to him. Walking at a even pace he leaned back slightly, slipping his right hand back into his pocket, "Why don't you tell me alittle bit about him so I know what Im getting myself into?" One of his brows arched at her, waiting for her to respond.
 
Hailie looked up from Elle's hair and smiled "I'm Hailie" she grinned and she heard footsteps and clung to Elle tighter "Mummy?" she asked adn elle srugged "I have no idea hails"
 
Jonah quickly burst through the door after knocking and took in the sight with a mix of confusion and a little bit of happiness as he was breathing hard for a few more seconds "I had to come and see Damian and his bride" he declared from the door trying to regain a royal look in front of his big brother.
 
Elle looked at the youungest prince with raised eyebrows and said "I am she." she bowed and flashed a smile at the prince. Haille looked up shyly and said "Thats NOT my mummy" which made elle laugh. "No Hails, your mummy will come soon."
 
Jonah stepped down uneasily not expecting that much of a formal greeting. "Im sorry am I interrupting something" he asked unsurely.
 
Elle giggled slightly at his reaction and shook her head "Nope, I was just shwing your brother the drawings in here . . . . my students drew them." she said gesturing around the room. She put Hailie on the ground and she hid behind Elle's leg, peaking shyly at the two princes. Hailie wasn't really a famly friend Technically they were sisters. After hacing Elle her parents went though a rough patch and her mother slept with another guy,producing a child, hailies 'mum' and then he slept with another lady, recently Hailie was the result of that and the woman didn't want a baby. Delilah, Elles half sister adored hailie and addopted her.
 
"Oh I guess they must like my brother right" he asked a little jealous wishing he had at least a few of the admirers his brother had after a day of coming back. Jonah noticed the little girl and smiled waving.
 
Elle tilted her head and said "Kinda, they are also afraid of him." she saw jealously in his eyes and said "I meann o offence by this, it is an honest opninion, but people would look up to you if you caught their attention, not nessisarily in the same way as he did . . . Like earlier when you got them snacks, they thought you were nice, if you do more like that, they might look up to you more." she said honestly. Hailee smiled and waved, coming out from Elles leg and going to shake his hand.
 
Jonah gladly shook her hand before asking what her name was. To Elle's suggestion he sighed looking at the wall again" I never have time with studies, besides I only got to do that yesterday since I was leaving" he said shrugging. "I guess its up to them if they like me or nor" he finished turning back to the little girl.
 
"Well I'm Jonah" he said smiling back patting her head. "Well can you let me brother know Ill be in my room when he finally wants to talk to me since he's gotten back" he said ignoring him sitting there as he waved bye once more to Haille before leaving the office and quickly back to his room
