The girl, or rather keiko, yawned widely as she watched the flickering pictures on the tv screen. Already, her wound had begun to heal and she was no longer subject to the constant throbbing in her side, rather it was a tingling sensation at present and was more of an irritation than anything. Her mind, also no longer lingered on what had transgressed the previous night and she was now in a state of peace.

The symbol on her back had also faded and no longer did she have that lust for blood...rather, she was more interested in the pile of books that lay on the floor a short distance away from her.

....Didn't she have coursework?

"Oh hell!" She shrieked and dived forward.

Jun'ko didn't quite understand the 'Soi-chan' nickname but didn't altogether mind it.
"Yes Kigen." She said. Suddenly, a thought came to mind. "Kigen?" She started. "Do you need somewhere to stay?"

((O_O I want some... *Drools* ((Oh boy...I'm in trouble now..that can be taken SO differently...)) ))




::He paused mid step...yes...she was "on his side". He turned and spoke to her, all but ignoring Ryu now.::

"As a matter of fact, I do...However...I doubt our companion would approve...and thus he would involve himself more than he seems to want to at this time. Perhaps this evening, If I have not made other arrangements, then we can work something out. In the meantime...the day is dawning..and I have others to find. I have gone a day without sleep before."

Jun'ko began to get excited.
"Oh, but it wouldn't be at my house!" She smiled gleefully at being able to help Kigen. "My mother keeps an apartment, a really nice one nearby, that she used to go to alot when my dad still lived with us. She doesn't go there anymore but we still pay for it. It's really big and nice and I'm sure you would like it!" Jun'ko pressed hopefully.

Hata leaned against the wall of the subway station and sighed. His train was not due for another 5 minutes or so, but he was starting to have second thoughts. Take the train to school, or play hooky? Or maybe he could go to his father's office and find out when the man planned on coming home. Well, he had to ask somebody about his family's financial situation. If his mom could pick herself of the floor, she might be worth talking to, but not likely. When it comes down to it, he rationalized, I guess making sure we don't get evicted is more important than one day of boring school. If I just happen to make a few detours on the way to the office, I'm sure no one will notice... His mind made up, Hata checked his watch. Another 10 minutes for the other train he would need to take. He could wait, he did not really have anything better to do. Thinking twice, he decided there was something he could do. He sneered at a No Smoking sign and headed for the nearest escalator so he could up and out and have himself a smoke.

Ichiro jogged out of the car and into his mansion. He closed the door and locked it, sighing and easing up he walked slowly into a room littered with papers, books and documents. He eased himself into the small leather desk swivel chair and picked up a particularly old document. Ichiro smirked as he began to read it. The document was handwritten in chinese. It was very old and one of a kind. He supposed that he would read this the rest of what was left of the night and sleep during the day as he normally did. Ichiro leaned forward and narrowed his eyes, forcing himself to remember every once of information.

::Kage always took the stairs...he was in shape and never felt himself to be lazy, and in as much as escalators served their purpose, he picked the stirs next to them more often that not. He decended slower than nrmal however, still a biit unsettled in both his mind and body, also he was fiddling with one of his new earings. There he was, suit and tie, backpack slung over one shoulder, playing with an earing decending stairs....It might make for an interesting peice of artwork, though he never was one for self portraits. He could change the person in the suit to fit his needs.::

::He successfully navigated his way down the stairs to their base next to the elevator...with the exception of the last step, and he found himself falling to the ground at the feet of a young man headed for the escalator::

"Ungh..."

Hata jumped back as a blonde landed in front of him. "What the-?" he said in confusion.

Now, Hata had always dreamed of having goregeous blondes fall at his feet, and as your average Japanese kid, his hopes had never been too high. The way it happened was not quite what he had in mind.

"You okay?" he asked, feeling a little uneasy.
