The Emo Boyz are staying at Ria. OMIGAWD.
So because of their obvious higher money budget, they expanded their room, basically to the size so it takes up four total bedrooms, a large bath, kitchen and fairly massive living room. Because of their obvious differences, they all have different things scattered about their dorm, just in case they decide to make a permant stay here in Ria.
Tanko's bedroom - So since generally they don't allow their fans into their house, Tanko doesn't especially make his room look too though or anything. It's the messiest of the four, with video games scattered everywhere, posters of few females up, mostly Tanaka Reina. He has a medium-sized tv and a large bed towards the side of his room, which has plaid and blue sheets, and is never once made up unless some poor soul is told to go and clean the room themselves. How terriable that would be...it's so messy that you can't even fully tell what's clean and what's dirty. But there aren't any bugs or anything of the sort, and he likes to believe it isn't that bad, which it really isn't...it's about as clean as the average guy's room.
Jun-Jun's bedroom - Cuteness is discarded immdately with his platinum black walls...really he seemed to just do that on purpose. But his room is actually fairly clean most of the time, and isn't too cram-packed full of stuff like Tanko's is. His bed is medium sized and even though he won't admit it, is slightly childish considering the fact that it's a bunk bed with blue koi fish sheets. STILL, it is probably the manliest of the rooms, instead of a tv he has nice bamboo carpet on one side of his room, for meditating since their manger recommended it to try and calm out his anger a bit. He is actually is more intellegent than he lets on, including his massive bookshelf off to the side with books many would confuse for dictionaries.
Yano - Images aside, he does seem quite keen on keeping that playboy thing going, especially since he does in fact plan on having girls in his room. His walls are painted deep red, a large bed in the center of the room, looking increadably cushy and seriously inviting. The whole room feels a little soft and ontop of the ceiling it's painted like the night sky. He's got a mini fridge in there in case he spends a couple days in his room, especially after partying since he can get quite into it. Also has a massive stero system in his room, hooked up nicely with some of his favorite bands in it. His closet is packed full of clothing as well.
Ryu - The simplest bedroom and probably the cleanest you've seen in a while, the walls are left fairly bare, and the carpet is white, but somehow it feels more at home than that creepy stotic clean feeling you get from hospitals. His room is closer to something the average teenager would have, with nothing too special in it. He has his bookshelf next to his computer which is usually hooked up and doing research on his band's local standings and getting messgages from their manger. His bed's fairly big and off to the side, next to a large window with the bluest of blue sheets and enough space to seat several people.
The kitchen has a fully-stocked fridge, Jun-Jun labled all his stuff but that doesn't stop Tanko and Yano from eating it anyway. There's hardly any room for anything else in there from power drinks, watermelon slices, left-over pizza to home-made jams back from Ryu's and Jun-Jun's mom. The freezer is filled to the brim with every kind of sweet you'd find, since all four of them have a major sweet tooth. Rest of the kitchen is fairly normal, but also fully stocked seeing as Jun-Jun cooks everything most of the time, being a surprisingly good cook.
The bathroom his a huge tub and a walk-in shower next to it, both of them usually gleaming with their clean look. There's a foggy window off to the side so no one can see in, but you can always enjoy the view outside, and there are tons of hair-products and skin-care things from both Tanko and Yano, and possiably a few from Jun-Jun. Average look to it though right down to the turtle tooth-brush holder with different colored tooth brushes into the side. Can't forget the mouth wash either.
Finally the living room is the largest part of the house, looking to defiently be for entertainment purposes. It starts out right when you leave the living room and you can walk down a step or two into the physical living room itself with the plush carpet and massive rug. The walls are an orange color, there's two big couches, one smaller one for two and a couple chairs along with a rather big and flat tv placed on the wall. There's also the guy's instruments of course, so they can practice at any time they please, including the drumset, few guitars, nice microphone and stand along with a single bass guitar off to the side and a keyboard. With room that's left, and there is still plenty, there's a large table in the middle with pillows for seats when they want to eat some dinner.

The Emo Boyz pretty much weren't sure what to do, they were just exposed quite obviously in front of two females, and so quickly during their stay at Ria. But they seemed to be quiet and take a step back as they let their leader do the talking, even Jun-Jun and Yano looking serious and quiet, faintly sulky. Ryu was staying calm, knowing by this point in his life that freaking out over a situation didn't exactly get you anywhere. They might be able to just tell the girls to keep this a secret between fans and be on their way, but he wasn't so sure if it'd be that simple. He kept his look as gentle as possiable though, not wanting to scar the girls away and tell their secret or get them mad, though then again he generally was nice to women anyway. Jun-Jun was the one with most of the problems, maybe Yano with all those rumors too. The walk to the room was silent except for Tanko's whistling as he hummed one of their songs, his hands behind his head till Yano slapped him upside the head and he resumed quiet once more.
They finally made their way to the boy's dorms and then over to their own door, which was actually securely locked, and made to look like a broom closet, though if anyone paid attention there was still their dorm number on the side as well. Ryu took the key and slid it in, a small slot off to the side and then opened the door, holding out his arm as he ushered the two ladies in first. The other three slid in after them, and shut the door once more, a locking sound definetely heard, but that was automatically done, no one had any thoughts of keeping the girls locked in here. Though...if it came to that...no one would really be that surprised if they made them stay here. They weren't evil...but their manager sure was. He sat down on the couch and smiled a soft and friendly smile to the two girls as the other members sprawled out near them, still a little stiff. "Would either of you like anything?" he asked polietly sure enough Tanko had to say something as he grinned, "I think we'd all benefit from a few drinks~" he said, about to go grab some when Jun-Jun and Yano automatically pushed him back down and turned back to the girls as well. After a moment, Ryu spoke again, not using a fake personality just being careful with his words every now and then. "I wouldn't wish to waste either of you girls time, so I would like to ask you directly if there is a way we can keep this a secret. We don't wish to lie to our fans or anything exactly, or think it's especially great, but fans tend to like it more if we fit a certain...image. We're just looking to please as many people as possiable." he said with one of the most professional reasons he could come up with as he tried to fix the situation as always. "We could give an autograph or something if you could keep this between friends." he finished off.
Rini's heart was reeling, speed up by the intoxicating words that Ryu so smoothly produced. Ryu from Emo Boyz thought that she was cute...ah she could really just die happy now. After all she went through her phase of liking them all, but thinking about the fact that Jun-Jun had just said to her, she was a little confused. It was defiently the same as getting the image of someone you build up a great deal completely shattered. She glanced at him from the corner of her eye and sighed lately, not only that but she had seemed to anger him. Oh...she wished she had the previous image of Jun-Jun back in her mind instead of this mean guy. But then again, Jun-Jun still did look pretty...she went through this series of thoughts over and over again her head while they walked, still clinging to Kira's hand as her blush faded down a bit. So she hadn't really noticed when they entered the boy's dorm section, or think too much about it, but she managed to snap out of it soon enough, her cheeks burning a bit from the stares her and Kira were getting for being here. She knew it was allowed for girls to be vistors in boy dorms and vise-versa, but that didn't make it any less un-nerving. By the time they stopped outside of a door, it finally did click that they were going to go into their room. Her blush increased as she glanced at Kira and tightened her grip faintly, hoping she wasn't the only nervous one here, she hadn't even been in a normal guy's room yet. She took a deep breath before nodding and bowing her head slightly to Ryu...wondering if he was this charming then why he hided it, but walked over, finally settling down on the two-seater couch with Kira. She removed her hand and instead lightly gripped onto the edge of the cushion she was on. She listened to Ryu's words, and immdately wanted to tell him yes, because pleasing Ryu suddenly seemed the most important thing in the world because now she felt a bit like melted butter. However her eyes went over towards Jun-Jun watching him for a minute and feeling her heartbeat stir again. Okay...so even if he might be a jerk, she had to find out for herself...and being with the Emo Boyz...no other girls would get this chance probably. Just letting them go like this seemed like a stupid thing to do, and even though she wasn't that clear on everything or the smartest person ever, she had to believe that they were in a good spot right now. "Let me converse with Kira, please." she said, trying to sound as buisness-like as possiable and stood up, gently leading Kira over towards the farest corner away from the edgy and awaiting group and looking a bit serious as she turned her back, whispering carefully. "You think we should just go ahead and keep this secret? It'd be the nice thing to do probably...but you know...no one else gets this chance. What do you say if we use this as a way to get to get closer to them?" she asked a grin settling on her face.

Kira had grown generally quiet as she followed the group of four, still keeping hold of Rini's hand. She didn't mind holding it at all. It was a sort of distraction, something to focus on so she didn't think too much about the people she was walking with. A few girls were staing, perhaps wondering if they were who they looked, but none approached. Maybe they were simply intimidated. It didn't really help that Kira could very easily pull off an icy death glare, even if she didn't mean to. Sometimes when she focused she'd start glaring, and she was sort of halfway there right now with her attempt at keeping calm. Well, at least her blush was gone. Now she'd just have to work on controlling the dark frown of hers.
Before she knew it, they were in the male's dorm, and her glare only increased as she realized boys were giving her stares as she made her way down the hall. There was no way she'd forgive anyone for getting any ideas about why she was here with four of the hottest guy sever. They were just jealous! Or.. something. Not to mention, she also still had her ears, and she didn't want anyone coming up with any stupid nicknames, like.. sex kitten. That was the worst one ever! She sighed quietly as they arrived at the door, but she gave Ryu a light smile before she headed inside, trying to act calm. She took a seat beside Rini and crossed one leg over the other, leaning casually against the armrest, elbow upon it with her cheek resting on her palm. "No thanks," she murmured in response to the drink offer, glancing towards Tanko as he leapt to the occassion, only to be pulled back down again. Then, her attention shifted to Ryu.
This guy had somewhat earned her respect so far. He was definitely the leader, the one in charge, the smooth talker... She didn't mind him. But, maybe it was another mask he was wearing. Or maybe, he pulled it off so well because he actually was amazing. Well, she supposed it worked for him either way. She easily understood the concept of stage appearances. So now really found herself wanting to learn how they really acted without all the pressure of fans to please. With this in mind, she found herself nodding easily to Rini's suggestion, even if a part of her did feel bad. It was sort of like blackmail, but.. maybe they'd all become friends and the boys wouldn't mind having the two of them around so often. "..let's do it," she agreed, keeping her voice down.

Rini had a feeling that Kira had the same kind of mind-set that she did, a fan was a fan afterall. And besides, even if she did go through all of this and find out that she completely hated Jun-Jun's actual personality...then this would be revenge. Though, a promise was a promise, so it wasn't likely that she would suddenly decide to turn on them and let loose their real personalities onto the media. But...she was the type to exact revenge when a broken heart was on the line. She looked up though when Kira spoke and then she grinned, nodding her head before letting it fade away once more and a serious expression filled with determination back in her eyes. She walked back over with Kira, and sat down, her hands once again gripping lightly onto the hem of her clothing before she gave a slight nod and locked eyes with Ryu, not able to back down now as she swallowed her nerves. "Okay, we'll keep your secret." she said, and Ryu's smile grew and the other three let out of a breath air, but before they could speak again, Rini continued. "But we have a few conditions. We want at least one text-message per day on our cellphones from each of you, and every week both of us get two playdates." she said turning her head slightly to the side as she grinned widely, looking quite content with herself.
Too bad that wasn't the mutual feeling with anyone in the room. Ryu being basically the manager when their real manager wasn't around knew for a fact that this wouldn't end well. The girls seemed nice enough, and he actually didn't mind them too much, not really beleving that they were those rabid types of fans that suddenly just mauled you. Still though, his band was in quite the delima right now, so without further hesistation he nodded his head simply and gave a very faint smile. Tanko was feeling multiple things, he was well aware that their band would be in trouble and all of that, but he never did much care about the welfare of his future. Besides, his head was currently filled with possiabilites of the two new girls, particularly the older one. He didn't have to hide a thing! It had been so long since the last time that he didn't have to be scary around a girl. Yano was uneasy...he still did in fact have a current girlfriend this time around, and he wasn't the type to date secretely. Though he could tell they weren't being forced on an actual date since the younger one didn't say it like that. Still...this could be a problem, then again he was kinda planning on breaking it up with her soon anyway. That girl tended to be the type who liked to make him jealous he thought a frown on his lips as his thoughts wondered off again. Jun-Jun meanwhile was slightly amazed...she had said playdate. Was she just stupid or what?! He had stared openly at this girl, before finally deciding she was quite in fact that much of an idiot, and it wasn't like he'd really agree to do that. Heh, he crossed his arms and looked a little smug, waiting for Ryu to properly decline her request and just pay them off or something. That's what most girls were like, money and fame could always over power love and human feelings. And then he said it. Or rather didn't say it, but he nodded. Tanko threw up a fist in the air, "Yesss~" he said grinning to himself as he went off in his own ideas with amusement parts and photo booths. Yano cringed and then pouted and then finally a sigh and lastly a shrug before standing up and taking out his cellphone and heading off to the side as he dialed up Sachiko's number. Jun-Jun jumped up, looking outraged as usual as he pointed accusingly at Ryu. "What? You can't just agree to that all on your own! Are you crazy or something? We don't even know them!" he continued, before being silenced by the look in Ryu's eyes...dead serious.
Rini grinned, content and happy and off in her own little illusions. She stood up though after Jun-Jun's outburst and just smiled all on her own. "Right, we already told you before, but my name's Rini and her name is Kira. Please take care of us." she said bowing before turning to Ryu as she extended her phone, exchanging numbers.
Jun-Jun, realizing no one was going to let this pass by finally gave up and stretched out on the couch, turning his back to the others as he sulked a bit like a puppy. Tanko grinned as he sat down on the couch, sitting rather on one of the armrests than the couch itself as he handed his own cellphone to Kira as he grinned. "Give me your own number personal." he said before taking hers when she fished it out and filling it with his first in addition to a little ♥, and then the other three numbers, looking as if he had just been given the chance of a lifetime and that no one with a heart could crush away such a smile.
Rini thanked Ryu, her cheeks flushed once more from just the simplest of touch he had given her after exchanging phones. He really was a pro! In addition to that, probably having the phone numbers of one of the most popular bands ever was making her feel a little shy and a little elevated. "Right then, I think we should go for today seeing as he'll just sulk the rest of today anyway." she said glancing over at Jun-Jun with a slight frown before turning to Kira with a soft smile. "Is that alright with you?" she asked, not wanting to leave if Kira wasn't willing yet.

Kira sat back again, one leg crossed over the other like before, as she leaned on the armrest. Again, she placed her cheek in her hand, propping up her head as she watched Rini make their demands, nodding a little every now and then to show she agreed, though she felt a little embarrassed suddenly now that it'd been spoken aloud. She shfited her hand to cover her face a little better, and partially hide the faint blush in her cheeks, as she observed every guy's reaction. Ryu was calm and collected, Yano didn't look too excited, Tanko seemed estatic, and Jun-Jun was just being pissy. Well, at least they were getting to see real people underneath the masks for the public. Knowing them on a more personal level~
She didn't realize she'd begun smiling to herself, until she realized Tanko was talking to her. She jumped slightly, sitting a little straighter, and peered up at him for a second. Then she realized what he wanted and accepted his phone, writing her name and number into it for him, as she passed over her own phone. When she got it back and checked what he'd done, she couldn't help grinning as she saw how he'd entered his name. "Ah, thanks." What a weirdo. He wasn't as all how he portrayed himself.
She glanced up again when Rini spoke to her, and quickly pocketed her phone, pushing herself up to her feet. She looked over the four and lightly bowed her head, smiling again. "Thanks. It's been nice meeting you." Then she nodded to Rini, to show she was in fact ready.

"Oh? Your leaving, we'll then see you guys later I suppose right?" Ryu asked as he looked up and smiled slightly, he looked a little tired, but not completely against the idea at all. Faintly something stirred, and so he was actually quite alright with this, as long as the press never did find out in the end, there was nothing wrong with change. Tanko grinned, waving goodbye from ontop of the couch now as he sat comfortably, and falling back on it once more as he yawned, sitting in a rather odd postion. Yano snapped his phone shut as he sighed lightly, ah well...it would have had to happen sometime. If there wasn't any love in it then there wasn't anything he could do in the end, you just had to move on. Another girl was gone. Without hesitation he walked over to where the two girls were at as he noticed they were leaving, but would have probably known even if it wasn't obvious, he was a bit mysterious like that. "I look forward to our first playdate." he said to them both, bowing with pure grace and looking perfect with flawless movement.
Rini had nodded to Ryu, still a bit cheery over the whole thing, and trying to pretend like the fact that Jun-Jun turned out to be such a...sourpuss didn't bother her. Ah well, in the end, even if she did like his fake personality she supposed she didn't like being ignorant to things like this. When she got back to her dorm room tonight though, she'd have to take down a good bit of her posters and do some reconsidering. Maybe in the end it'd be better to have stayed a distant fan? Ah...she shook her head, opening her eyes when Yano spoke with a faint blush on her cheeks as she nodded her head and steped forward, but her foot slipped slightly. The floorboard seemed to have been broken in that spot considering it then flipped on the side that Kira was standing and while Rini wasn't hurt, she realized that Kira'd fall. "Kira! Watch out!" she said quickly, though her actions weren't quite as quick as Yano's, and she found her self grinning a bit at the scene.
Yano, who was never one to miss a single thing that had to do with women had predicted the movements almost before they happened. That damn floor board really needed to be fixed too, it was like that since yesterday when Jun-Jun and Tanko got too into practice again and were jumping around. So, without slight hesistation he reached forward and grabbed onto Kira, fingers spread out smoothly, one hand gripping onto her waist and the other on the small of her neck, his leg between her own as he held her up without difficultly and his eyes seemed to lower just a bit, the bedroom eyes girls often accused him to having returning. "Are you alright?" he asked calmly, and low almost something like a whisper as he just looked at her, his body holding onto hers and his eyes never leaving her gaze in the slightest. Not that he really wanted too much either. He heard a cough from Ryu probably, and he blinked, snapping out of it as he stood back up straight, and pulled her up as well a bit more, his hands dropping from her, his fingers lightly trailing down her as they went back down to his side. "See you again soon, Kira-chan." he said a smile gracing his lips once more as he stepped back slightly so she could leave.
Rini just smiled, though her own face was holding a deeper blush as she grabbed hold of Kira's hand once more, "Come on, come on~" she cooed lightly, knowing it did take a lot of will power to leave, much less move away from these gorgeously skillful boys. And without much more further wait, she opened the door up and walked out with Kira, closing it behind her. She looked over at her new found friend, and accomplice and laughed slightly, higher than heaven could bring her at this point of her emotions. "Ah! They really are too much, it's going to be hard to keep ourselfs sane isn't it?" she asked sighing a bit as she shook her head and worked her way out of the hallway and soon out of the boy's dorm section. "Say, let's be friends alright?" she said with a small grin as she let go of her hand and wrapped her arm around her back and walked off towards the girl's dorms.
Jun-Jun glanced up, facing the other direction after he heard the door close and sighing lightly as he sat up and thought for a moment. "The annoying one's perkiness kind of reminds me of Kate, along with the older one's cool act. Hey, don't you think, Ryu?" he asked looking up to his brother who looked spaced out slightly and then simply nodded his head a bit and and stood up as he walked over to his room and shut the door behind him. Jun-Jun sighed slightly before turning to the other two who held a sentimental look in thier eyes as well, "Sorry." he replied finally as he laid back down. Yano smiled, "It's alright, old wounds deserve to be dug up again every now and then, right Tanko?" he asked as he looked over at him and Tanko simply grinned and shrugged. "I'm sure I don't know what you mean." Ah, even if everything turned into a disaster when it came down to the end, one thing all of the Emo Boyz knew was that things wouldn't end up being boring with their new company.

Kira was in the mindset to leave, and had therefore been walking simply forward, intent on getting out before she changed her mind and lingered even longer. Plus, she needed to figure out how to get rid of these stupid, embarrassing ears. Though, she was distracted by Rini's sudden shout. "Huh?" She hadn't been at all aware of what was happening, but then suddenly she felt herself falling through the floor. Before she had time to do anything, she felt someone grab hold of her, and she came face to face with Yano. Her eyes went wide, her cheeks flushed to an instant deep crimson, and to make matters worse, her pants shifted downward a little as a tail suddenly appeared behind her, flicking anxiously side to side. After all, her transformations were triggered by stress or anger or embarrassment... She was feeling all but the second at the moment.
She stared at him with a rather blank expression, like her mind had simply shut down from the touch and look she was recieving. And when he decied to pull back, his trailing fingertips made her shiver, and her tail curled around her right leg, spiraling down it. "A-ah... later.." she said dumbly, but just stood there until Rini took her hand and lead her off. Even then, it took a second for her head to turn away. She stared after him over her shoulder, nearly up to the point where the door shut. And when it did, she seemed to slightly return back to normal, like a wall had just seperated their two different worlds and she was able to function again. "My god.." she breathed, rubbing a hand over the back of her neck, where she could still feel his touch lingering. "It will be hard." She breathed out a sigh, blush beginning to fade as she recovered herself, and then she turned and gave the younger girl a smile. "Yeah, we're friends." She gave the boy's door once last look, before she focused her attention upon finding her own.

"Ah! Your way too heavy." Rini said, slightly mumbling to herself as she had finally managed to get Jun-Jun ontop of his bed. Well actually it was the couch, she wasn't entirely positive which room was his, though she probably had enough fan-knowledge to figure it out herself. Still, going into Jun-Jun's room seemed entirely too embarrasing for her to deal with either, she shook her head as she tried to push away her fading blush. She had only managed to get him over here because once she dragged him out of the amusement park she made him lighter and just managed to nudge him towards the right way, but it still required a lot of magic and she was wiped out. Sighing, she looked at him, his body was breathing deeply and he had scorn marks and bruises and cuts all along his arms. Still, even like this he was pretty, but not in the same way he was before...he had a special feeling from him. A look of a hero? Doubtful. She thought as she pouted and stood up, glancing around and heading to the bathroom her face pink as she spotted some boxers hanging over the shower door, she turned around and squeeled slightly. It was embarrasing. Defiently. She finally covered her eyes slightly as her hands worked around the bathroom and she found a washcloth which she quickly got wet and made a grab for the first aid-kit. She wasn't very good at things like this, but she managed alright, she covered all his wounds and put the cloth over his hot forehead and sighed as she rested by the edge of the couch and watched him. Really...there was something weird going on with him to just defend them like that without fighting back, she didn't understand it at all. But then again, she was probably pushing things by just being this close to him, and even if she confessed her love a thosand times to Jun-Jun, he wouldn't take her seriously. She was used to this much by now though, she simply sighed and got better ahold of herself. Not that she had to wait long to be distracted again anyway since the doors opened straight up and in walked the reaming members of the Emo Boyz and a lovely panther girl.
Ryu had walked simply in silence as always the rest of the trip down to the dorm room again, though his look was slightly tinged with a faint smile. He had a bit of fun with Kira today, and though she did remind him a bit of Kate with how her body felt, she was different at the same time which left him feeling a bit confused as always. Still, he left himself in thought as Yano and Tanko played around with Kira the rest of the way as well. Tanko was the first one through the door, followed by Yano who was leading Kira in and Ryu at the very end. "Sister Rini!" Tanko called to Rini as to which she stood up immdately and affectionately called back, "Brother Tanko!" and they both rushed into each other's arms, acting like long-lost siblings. Tanko and Rini seemed content to act like they had always known each other and he twirled her around slightly before pouting as he looked down at Ryu. "He's so stubborn." Tanko said with a sigh as to which Rini nodded, "Not cute at all." she said sticking out her tongue before dropping from Tanko's grasp and stepping away from the couch while Tanko pushed and nudged Jun-Jun's cheek with his finger. Yano grinned slightly, still standing next to Kira while Ryu was once again acting a bit like the leader and father and going through the medicine cabniets. "Seems like you two had fun." he replied as to which Rini just blushed slightly and turned away a bit huffy before blinking and grinning as she looked back at Kira and Yano. "Well did you all have fun then?" she asked as she crossed her arms and eyed Kira's reaction trying to figure out what she missed. "Of course we did, anything with someone like Kira is fun...in more ways than one." Yano said, his voice falling perfectly into a seductive tone as he smirked slightly and looked up at Kira. His fingers reached up and laced into her own on one hand, while his other hand grasped onto her upper torso and he held her to him, falling over her a bit. "Your a messy eater..." he replied, eyes falling to a crumb onto the side of her lips that he reached close for, lips just about brushing onto Kira's before Tanko pushed him off and down. "Oh? You were there. Hur, how silly of me." he said kicking him hard in the side and into the wall before cracking his knuckles slightly and grinning a bit more as he nodded to Rini and turned back to Kira. "Yeah, it really is fun to be normal around someone again. If only Kira thinks the same?" he asked smile growing a bit as he looked straight at Kira till Ryu stepped once back into the room, or rather made his presence known again. It seemed he could do a bit of a dissapearing act where he'd be almost like a ghost at one minute and then the complete attention of the room the next. "I think you should go home now though if that's alright, we need to give Jun-Jun enough rest so that if our manager calls they won't suspect anything." Ryu said polietly as he bowed to the two girls and then turned to Rini with an apologetic smile. "Sorry to make your first day ruined as well by taking care of him." Ryu said, his eyes falling in such a way that caused Rini's cheeks to flare up again, his hair draped over his body so...magically. She knew he must be doing it on purpose...but wow he did it so well! She shook her head, pulling herself from it, "No, i-it wasn't....any trouble." she managed to get out before turning around again and heading towards the door, before she did something foolish like actual faint. "I think we'll be going though, don't forget your daily text-messages!" she said as she scooted towards the door and waited for Kira patiently. "See you again miss Kira, miss Rini." Yano said from the floor as he gave a nod and a smirk, "Yeah, later!" Tanko said, still crushing Yano with his foot as he waved enthusastically and grinned, eyes traveling back to Kira as the grin grew faintly.

Kira had trailed back with the others, once again finding herself stuck between the two quarreling band members. She was trying to learn to deal with it, making herself find it amusing more than anything else. In that light, it was fun to watch the two's antics. As she'd told Ryu, they did sort of fight like siblings. Their attention was momentarily distracted when they entered and everyone got a better look at Jun-Jun. Or rather, she got a better look. The others were seeing for the first time. Her ears drooped lightly against her head as she stared, shuffling her feet a little guiltily. She remembered suddenly that she'd failed to find the guys who'd done it, and was therefore unable to exact the revenge she'd hoped for.
She started to breath out a sigh, but the regret was instantly forgotten as Yano approached her again. She shivered slightly as she felt the touch of his hand, and peered up at him, her cheeks a deep pink again. She had been about to answer Rini's question, but the fact that Yano had taken her hand, was speaking in that voice of his, and was also leaning down towards her face, had her feeling a little overwhelmed again, enough that a black tail joined her ears. But she jolted in surprise as Tanko intervened, torn on if she should be upset or happy he'd interrupted them. Ah, he'd come so close again~ She sighed, giving him a flustered smile. "I had fun.." she agreed, looking down to Yano uncertainly. He didn't seem to be in agony though, so she just stepped back slightly.
Her eyes then shifted to Ryu and she gave another light nod of her head. "Wish him well for me," she said, glancing to Jun-Jun, and then she grinned as she waved back to Yano and Tanko, laughing lightly at their position, the one still pinned to the floor. Then, finally, she turned and exited with Rini, tail flicking lightly behind her.

[posting here. D8<]
Kira continued helping Jun-Jun free the people who were stuck, claws grabbing at chunks of rock and tearing them off of bodies, despite the blood trickling almost invisibly in her fur. If one paid attention, they would see it, like they would see that she was limping on her front right paw and favoring it a little when she helped to dig people out. But in the end, her movements were just as violent as before, and she kept growling without meaning or needing too, only frightening people more. So they had a good reason to be afraid, but deep down, the Kira that was slightly aware of what was happening was offended that they looked so terrified of her, and was glad to hear Jun-Jun tell them off. She stared back at him as he looked her over, also peering at him, leaning forward and licking at his hand with her large tongue, blue eyes almost saddened to see him harmed. She could smell blood of people's injuries, but didn't seem interested in any but his. She didn't know the others, after all. The instincts she was following told her to simple disregard them unless this boy chose to help them. In that case, she'd obey and assist, as she was now. And so she continued, almost mindlessly, ignoring the pain that seared through her head and shoulder. But then her ear twitched, and her head shot upwards towards the rock falling. She crouched, ready to spring, then paused in surprise as a body fell over hers, getting smashed by the chunk of rock. The.. boy? He'd moved in to help her? She blinked her eyes, looking confused, and then reached out and pushed her head into his hand, nuzzling worriedly. She wasn't quite sure what was going on, but she knew that he had just tried to help her.
But then her head turned again, towards a new source of action that caught her attention. Another familiar scent had arrived, and this time she found herself staring up at a girl, snarling quietly, fangs bared. But the girl touched her head, and Kira relaxed slowly, becoming subdued once more, nuzzling back after a pause and then sat down quite calmly. This girl wasn't a threat either. So she kept herself still as she pushed at the boy and scolded him, deciding that they wouldn't truly hurt each other and that it'd be fine. And then, the soothing voice that was keeping her nice and quiet had suddenly ceased. Or at least, it had become covered by another noise. Her head turned, ears perked and eyes widening as she stared up at the stage, towards the woman standing up there with her arms spread, with yet another familiar smelling figure behind her. She took a step towards them, growling again, confusion making her more prone to violence. But then the dust, the glittering substance that she couldn't identify, started to fall over her. She batted at it with her paw, trying to swat it away. But she put weight on her right front leg and crumpled down, it given out beneath her weight. She hit the ground with a thud, growling even still, until her eyes closed and she drifted to sleep.
She wasn't aware of anything else until she came to in a bed, staring around blankly through half opened and blurry eyes. She felt tired, and her head was pounding, feeling like it'd been split open. She started to sit up, only to then realize that putting the slightest bit of pressure on her right arm sent searing pain through her arm. So she slumped back with a groan, falling into the pillows and squeezing her eyes shut as she tried to clear her head. She couldn't really think at all. It was a blur of shapes and images flashing across her mind, some popping in more clearly here and there. She definitely recalled Jun-Jun being nearby, and Rini. Oh god... what if she'd ended up injuring one of them? Her eyes opened wide suddenly and she stared at her hands, both jerking upwards. However, she gasped at the pain that caused and clutched at her right shoulder, whimpering quietly to herself. Ah, it hurt... So she settled back once more, letting her body go limp. She didn't smell any blood, and after taking a more slow look, she didn't see any on her hands either. Oh, but... what clothes were these? Pajamas? How...? "R-Rini...?" she called hopefully, her voice weak.

Loud, people got so loud sometimes, Jun-Jun didn't like it very much as he rarely did like being around people like that for long periods of time. But that wasn't fair really, he did like to be around people a bit like any normal human being would, he just grew tired sometimes as a normal person did as well. And he was aware he had a stubborn personality, but of course there would be no way that he'd ever admit this to Kira. Because Kira was the one sleeping under his bed right now, though she had her own bed too of course since they he owned a bunk-bed. He was just used to have two beds because having one by itself seemed a bit desolte to him and lonely like that. How had things turned out this way though, with a girl sleeping in his room, a girl who wasn't the one he had used to know long, long before and wasn't Kate or anything. The girl that took his heart and stomped it out with fresh heels on her young feet, he sighed pushing away old memories. Things that didn't have to be said and things that weren't important to him, they all seemed to dissapear if he willed it as so, the only problem was that they always returned back to him. Back to what happened though, he had gone back to Rini and Kira's room immdately after getting back, and made sure to lock it behind himself and not let those two pushy Tanko and Yano's inside because he wanted to keep it a secret. Kira must have wanted it to be a secret too since she hadn't said anything about it before, and had kept her mouth numb to such things. She wasn't a scary panther, though he had noticed those who were scared of her, honestly Kira wasn't anything to be scared of because they were friends. It wasn't like he didn't think she wasn't capable of tearing out his own heart physically - rather than literatly - with her claws if she wanted to. Her claws hadn't been out or anything and she had been back to normal, and Rini had managed to get some clothes on Kira before passing out beside her on one of the beds. Sighing, Jun-Jun had tucked the still tipsy Rini into the bed, and had managed to get Kira inside his room with much difficulty. She wasn't heavy at all, but he had trouble keeping those nosey people from seeing a passed out, and wounded Kira in his arms. After getting her into the room, he simply treated her wounds with what he could, put a bandage here and there and putting a heating pad near her in case she felt too cold with his forign to her blankets. He had changed into his own pajamas, which was a simple white shirt with a faded bear on it with the words "Forest Fires aren't cool" plastered on it and a simple pair of black pajama pants, out of the whole group, his pajamas were probably the simplest. Jun-Jun perked up, alert as he thought he heard a sound coming from down there and sure enough, he heard Kira's call a moment later. He gripped onto the edge of his bed, and instead of using the latter he threw his body over the side, still gripping onto the top bar so his shirt lifted up slightly before he let himself drop down with a smallest of taps against the carpeted floor. "She's passed out, somehow I think she got drunk..." he mumbled lightly as he scratced his cheek, defiently wondering grately about that but knowing it'd do best to solve one mystery per night, right? Right. "Are you...feeling better?" he asked, his hesitating voice almost slightly implying that he wasn't fully sure how to deal with keeping her calm or anything, and wondering if he should further ask if she would change back. He looked her over, feeling her temperature for a moment and then turning back to her as she seemed to be doing alright. "You don't have to tell me how you became a panther, but as long as your feeling alright then that's all that matters. I put you in my room since the others would freak out if they knew that you were passed out like that. You know...we all care about you right? Rini too. All of us here, it's not just a simple band-fan sort of thing." he said as he pulled up a chair and eyed her a bit, obviously though, right? Something like this had to be obvious to her otherwise she wouldn't get the fact that well...he had feelings for her too. It didn't help that he had them for two girls, but he'd deal with one thing at at a time as mentioned before. "I know I'm not your first option Kira. But don't rule me out just because I'm a few years younger." he said, voice turning to a tone that wasn't normally there with Jun-Jun as his eyes cast down to hers. Reaching down he took a kiss from her, not a full one because even when Jun-Jun was being serious he was a bit cute, kissing her corner of her mouth, his cheeks faintly pink, as it was clear he wasn't sure yet how to love fully. But he did a good job, exchanging warmth for a moment with her before he pulled away and swiftly turned away, standing up with his back turned to her as to keep his blush well hidden. He tossed the star hairpin over to her as he walked out over towards the exit, "I'll take a couch tonight and keep it. I've got more." he replied before exiting out of the room and sprawling out on the smaller couch before burying himself into it a bit and falling asleep into a restless sort of stage eventually later on.
Yano and Tanko were also passed out. Though it had taken a lot to get there. Both of them demanded to see Kira, in their own ways of speaking, but their actions were faintly similar for just a moment before their personalities took over once more. Tanko had to be dragged and tied down to not go over and find her while Yano had to be told that he wouldn't go on a date with her ever again if he tried to leave. Ryu was the one who had done this, without Jun-Jun or Miranda's knowledge, because he just had this feeling that it'd be best to keep them away for right now so they kept it all quiet. Though he had in fact seen Jun-Jun carrying Kira in.
Yano wasn't happy at all about the situation, he sat down in front of the fire on the rug and stared out into the open flames lightly for a moment. If you asked him about all the relationships and things he had been through then you'd learn that he didn't regret or feel sorry or ashamed for a single one of the many women he loved or dated with or broke up with. All of it, as much things in life just seemed to take it's course and he followed it along as well as he could, watching things progress or renew old feelings that he had with his first love with everyone of them. If you really thought about it, you had to be a bit of a mascoist to be willing to get into a relationship with somebody, because to put yourself out there every single time with someone new, was to be allow the possiably pain along with it. Yano never minded, he was too busy falling in love with one person after the other, he had breaks in between, where relationships seemed sweet and like they would last for a while longer than normal. No one could ever fully get in, no matter how deep they reached in and in the end, he was afraid that might be the actual reason why he went through so many girls. Kira was something new for he hadn't ever not had a girlfriend for more than a day or so, so this waiting period was unstable and he was sure he might relasp soon, but he wouldn't worry about such details. So he listened to Ryu and Miranda for a little while longer and finally shipped off to bed, flicking open the picture of Kira residing on his cellphone as he finally let sleep consume his body, feeling easier to sleep without knowing it because Kira was actually sleeping in the same dorm room. Though she was off in another space completly, it still reached him a bit.
Tanko was mad rather than pouty. He had been denied the right to see Kira, and she was taken off and away from him underneth his eyes. They were defiently hiding something from him, not just his fellow bandmates, but no the whole world! How quickly had Tanko turned to see conspiracies? Probably about two seconds. He always did tend to be fast, unless he was doing things slowly for the sake of others, like the certain female he hadn't been able to see tonight. Mostly he was worried if she was alright or not, because no one seemed to know anything and yet the didn't look like they cared either, he hadn't even seen Rini! What if they had large gaping wounds or something through their heads?! He had in fact had to be strapped down to his bed because he created such a commotion and fuss, though Miranda had been the one to instagate this too. He would have just figured out a way to stand up and pull the weight of the bed through the room, but he didn't want to ask for more wrath from that female either, so he remained seated in bed till he knocked himself out, still frowning in his sleep. Tanko wasn't experienced in love, but he knew how things felt at this point, and how he should treat people, females included in this. He may not be Yano, but he was Tanko. All the more better, correct? Ah, he just wanted some more time with her again, spend it out in the sun, and warm up their dimly lit selfs a bit more. Warm thoughts of doing such entered his mind, though so did as always the kiss that he had yet to recieve and take from Kira, as he seemed to sleep rather than dream. It was clear that Tanko wasn't going to let Kira go very much at all, if ever, however if she just said she didn't want to see him, then he'd cut off every possiably connection the two had so her eyes never had to fall onto him again. But wouldn't that be such a sad way to end things? And besides, for Tanko he believed things were just starting up, no reason at all to rush or push.
Miranda and Ryu had been talking here and there for the time period when they had all gotten home to this late in the night. Currently the female was hanging a bit like an animal with her legs clinging to the bar they rested on while she swung a bit. She was dressed once more in a black long top and a pair of jeans, prefering this look to the sexy one she often wore. She simply wore such a thing because when she was doing buisness she was a face and the Emo Boyz were her voice. When producers tried to go further than that though and actually touch her in addition of saying that they'd get her a job if she just -insert dirty old man statement here- then she snapped their arms right off. Honestly she was crazy, but she had no respect for such people in the world, who asked for favors like that and did things half-heartedly. The thing Miranda craved most in this world was passionate things and passionate people, so that was why she had come here herself rather than send one of her many assitants down to get them. If they had shown such recklace behavior and actually came down here with the two girls and had avoided her then she'd have to see for herself what was going on. There was that airy emotion that Miranda knew but never asked or looked for, being of course love; around the majority of the band members though. Which was bad. To be honest, Love wasn't so great for buisness. At the same time, she said ******** that and thought that it was wonderful and could create and arise the most passionate of things the group had to say with their music. By the end of her mini meditation session and when Ryu had come back up looking sukly at her she popped up off her knees and dropped back down to the floor as she rustled his hair lightly. "Get some sleep sonny." she replied she herself lounging right on over to the big couch and falling asleep the second her head hit the pillow. That's what three days without sleep did to you, though she and her body were used to such things so it wasn't very obvious at all that she had been like that.
Ryu chuckled lightly in spite of all the events that had happened tonight. Things fell apart so quickly, this was something that he knew well. But if the things were taken care of fast enough then they wouldn't leave too deep of a wound. Usually they could heal completely within a few weeks, because that's how lovely human hearts seemed to work out. Yet again, as the male seemed to like, he had taken care of everybody and was probably one the of the last to get to sleep. Though he knew that he wasn't the last as he pulled blankets over the two strown over the couch and then stepped into the kitchen as he filled up a glass with water. He hadn't even had to explain why they had come here, because Miranda was never the type to deal with things that she couldn't do anything about anymore. Ryu did however have to hammer out details about their next tour dates, where they'd preform and how many interviews they'd do, in the end it was a fairly fair trade and he was midly surprised by how lieant she had been this time around. Thoughts aside, he walked into Jun-Jun's room with the water, sitting down promptly in the chair after having set the water down before finally now glancing at Kira. He smiled, "Hello Miss Kira. It seems you have strayed from your bed." he replied smiling lightly as he reached forward and glanced at her arm with a frown, rubbling it delicately for her for a moment. Glancing back to her he sighed, "I don't know what happened with you tonight, but it's not my business. Instead, I just wish you sweet dreams and to wake up in good health." he said, leaning forward as he reached his long figners against her neck, the necklace falling out of his open hand as he tied it and closed the clasp around it, her locket once more with her again. "Get some sleep." he replied as he softly rubbed her hand, kissing it once more before standing it up and stepping out, heading to his own room for some shut-eye. A night was done, full of questions but it was done and he needed some sleep.

Kira's cry was answered rather quickly, and she actually yelped in surprise at the way in which it was. Something had jumped down from above her. She hadn't entirely registered that there had been a bed above her until just now when he'd jumped from it. And as she stared blankly at the boy who was explaining where Rini had gone, she realized that she'd also known he was there the whole time. This whole place smelled like him. She blushed faintly, staring around timidly, and realized that this must be his room. Why she was there, she had no idea, but she guessed it was alright. It was Jun-Jun, after all. She trusted him as much as the rest. And he came up often during her fuzzy memory as a panther, so he obviously knew. She was just glad she didn't see any injuries on him. Or rather, none that appeared to be from claws or teeth. He did look a little roughed up though, with bruises and the sort. She remembered that the building had been collapsing... She nodded her head as he asked her condition, very slowly to avoid growing dizzy, and then froze when he touched her forehead. "I'm fine.." she assured him, sighing softly as he pulled back. She wasn't sick, just physically injured. Her shoulder really hurt the most. She listened to him continue and frowned to herself, looking uneasy. "I-I know.. I'm not sure why I change though. I haven't figured it out yet..." And this was the truth. It was something that'd started when her mother had died, and she had yet to figure out why it happened. She was working on it though... And then her thoughts all ceased, as she looked up at Jun-Jun in surprise, her eyes widening a little at his admittance. And then before she had time to figure out what to say, he'd leaned forward and kissed her. It wasn't like Yano, full and trapping her lips completely. It was smaller. It.. seemed to fit him, almost. She watched as he turned, her cheeks pink as well, eyes a little wide as she stared after him, left hand lifting to catch the clip out of instinct, her eyes peering up at the back of his head. "Th.. thank you..." she said faintly, watching him head away. Then she sighed, sinking back into the sheets and closing her tired eyes.
This was a little too much. Tanko, Yano, and Jun-Jun? She had suspicious about Ryu as well, but he treated everyone kindly, didn't he? And she didn't want to assume that everyone one of them liked her until it was proven. She was the type who assumed people disliked her or were simply joking unless there was no doubt left about the actuality of truthful affection. Like Jun-Jun, for instance. He'd caught her that one time, and held her so closely, and it had surprised her and sparked an idea. But she hadn't let it form. Well, until now, now that he'd said it directly and it was decidedly true. She sighed, keeping her eyes closed as she rested in the bed. She'd been sleeping beneath him, apparently. She could still smell his scent strongly around the room, and she knew it wouldn't go away because this was where he slept. His scent was embedded in everything here. It wasn't bad, just.. a little embarrassing. Sleeping in the room of someone who'd just kissed her and admitted they liked her... It seemed a little crazy to her. So, if she'd... not tried so desperately to distance herself from people at her old school, would she have found someone before now? But, she didn't think they'd handle the truth of her transformations that easily. Jun-Jun had taken it in stride, from what she remembered, as well as Rini. Niether had freaked out on her or acted the slightest bit afraid. She found this to be rather reassuring.
She was trying to settle down and get some sleep, and hope her arm would fix itself by morning, as unlikely as that seemed, but then someone entered, and Ryu's scent washed over her. Her eyes opened and she stared up at him, her cheeks still tingued a gentle pink color. "Y-yeah..." she said almost sheepishly. She had strayed from her bed, it seemed. Or rather, she guessed she'd been stolen. She imagined Yano and Tanko weren't aware of her location, or they'd have stormed in by now to yell at Jun-Jun for taking her. But Ryu always seemed to be aware of everything. He touched her bruised, possibly broken arm, and she winced a little, flattening back into the bed. He was being gentle, and it didn't hurt too badly, but any bit of pressure sent a pain stinging through, and she couldn't help reacting. She hadn't gotten injured in a long time... Did he know what she'd done..? Ah, it sounded like he didn't, for he'd just admitted he didn't know what had happened with her last night. She felt a little guilty, like she should tell, but in the end she kept quiet, partly because he'd just touched her neck so tenderly like that. She felt even more flustered than before, especially because he'd followed it with a kiss to her hand. When he'd released it, she shifted it to her necklace, feeling the heart shaped metal, and her smile softened gently. "Thank you.." she murmured. She wasn't sure what she'd do if this had been lost. In all honestly, she hadn't yet noticed between all that'd happened, but when she did, she would've started panicking. He'd saved her from that. She smiled lightly as she watched him go, nodding her head weakly. "You sleep too," she replied with a hint of firmness, not sure how late it was. Once he'd gone, she stared at the glass of water, and then worked to get her body sitting a little straighter up, her arm cradled uselessly against her stomach as her left hand reached out for the cup, lifting it to her lips as she gulped it down without much hesitation. The empty glass was set back where she'd found it, and she slid back down into the sheets, her fingers closed around the star clip as her eyes shut, and she sighed as she drifted into sleep.

Posted: Fri Sep 26, 2008 1:41 am
Rini had woken up early with an unfamiliar feeling. A hangover. Wasn't she a bit young?! But yes, the feeling was one of the most unpleasent and she wished for it to go away as quick possiable. She had come over to their dorm room after finding no Kira in her room and sulking lightly about it. She didn't even care that Kira was over in an all-male's dorm, she was just sad that Kira wasn't sleeping with her. She knew Kira though and knew that she wouldn't just randomly do something like that, so she came over and Ryu said the best he could do was give her some advil and hope the hangover wore off eventually. So she got a pat on the head and was told to sit down on the couch while he made an arrand, and eventually Jun-Jun had walked out of the shower, dressed and looked right at her and right away, heading straight to the kitchen. That had been an hour ago, as he was making a large breakfast, she hadn't bothered with talking to him because he had guilty eyes, or rather it was written all across his face that he had done something last night. And she didn't wish to find out what it was, instead sitting still, and then that woman came out. The one that she had seen last night for a minute up on stage, which meant she had spent the night here too? The thought did cross her mind that the woman might have indeed slept with one of the band members, but she let it pass, not wishing to think that one of the band members was with her when they all seemed to be in love with Kira. Her head had hurt even worse at that thought, and in the end she walked quickly to Jun-Jun's room, a feeling in her bones that told her that Kira was probably in there. Sure enough...there she was, lying on one of the beds that belonged to Jun-Jun, Rini was a bit disheartened. It was written on her face as she woke up Kira, "Come on, we've got to go meet somebody." she replied, before walking back out with Kira and sitting down on the couch. Currently she next to Kira, the woman sitting across from them, seeming to take up a whole large couch while just residing on one spot. It appeared to be that they were being interviewed, though the woman was completely silent and just staring at the two.
Miranda had indeed got a good amount of sleep for once, good amount to her was of course about three hours of undestirbed sleep before waking up and doing some work. She was obviously a bit of a work-a-holic, but instead it was more like she was just doing her job, because it did require a lot of work to be top manager with a top band. After having woken up, she went for her usual morning meditation as she called it where she really just made a bunch of early morning calls and got more work done before the sun had fully rised in the sky. She had come down a while later and didn't even consider her appearence, which was basically just a large long shirt and a pair of shorts, to anyone else it would look like she had spent the night there. Miranda never had and never would have that relationship with them though, they were like her brothers to her, or possaibly she was the mom. An odd one, but the mother of a bunch of popular boys. It certaintly was a hard job, but it wasn't like she wasn't always prepared or ontop of her game. Like now for instance, she was sitting opposite of the two girls that had caused her favorite little boy band to go ship off and pretend like she hadn't told them they couldn't leave. "So I see you've taken an intrest in the Emo Boyz?" she asked, though the question also sounded a bit like it didn't have to be answered as she glanced between the two of them and curled up a little more, while streatching. "And you've probably been learning a lot about them, a lot of things that they hadn't shared with anyone else? And I bet you know by now that if you share any of this information then I'll track you down and lock you up inside of your houses." she added as she yawned slightly and grinned. "Now, let's get down to the interview, shall we? Tell me your name, age, and why you think I should continue to allow you to stay here and be in their eyesight." she said sniffing the air slightly as she spoke, head turning as she watched Jun-Jun make breakfast and grinned faintly as she saw the apron he wore with that. Turning back to the girls, she sat cross-legged and crossed her arms as well while humming the jepordy theme music.
Jun-Jun was aware that at times he was a little weak. Like when he had come out from his shower earlier that morning and saw Rini looking at him, he felt stabs of guilt from the kiss taken earlier from Kira. Would she hate him if she found out? Did she already know? Maybe he was far too obvious, but he caught the looks she gave him before he turned away and he felt depressed as he sulked into the kitchen and got to work on the large breakfast, as if hoping to be forgiven by making everyone something really good to eat. Maybe no one would fight or say anything unessary if their stomachs were all full up or something. Besides, he always made such breakfasts, but espeically when Miranda came over, because she usally demanded it. She'd just lean against his back and ask him over and over again for some banana-nut pancakes, her favorite and one of his specialities. So he kept working, and usally it kept his mind off things, but that didn't seem to be the case this morning. Rini usually ran over or waved entergetically or tried to get his attention one way or another. Did she really know then that he had done that last night...? Or maybe she had just lost intrest him in as well? He wasn't sure what the correct answer was, but recalling the girl who had broken his heart previously got stuck in his mind again as he seemed to have trouble letting go of the past. Who around here didn't? So he was justifed in his thoughts, the thoughts about all the girls he knew of and ones that he dreamed about and all the while, he cooked a massive breakfast, without burning anything. He had been making breakfasts for himself since he was a kid, so it was a habit to make them by himself and make them well. By the time he had finished and the others started to come back in, he wasn't really sure what he was supposed to say to Rini, he probably shouldn't say anything in a room full of people. He wondered what he should say to Kira too...but she had the other band members after her too. Ah...this morning, wasn't too bright.
Ryu had gotten up early and had fallen asleep the last. It was a wonder if the man ever actually slept, but he always appeared well-rested and hadn't even been seen before yawning or anything. Ryu was just really good at keeping things good and hidden if he willed it to be so, and he often did in fact will such things. So he had gotten up early and changed, pulling on a pair of jeans, and a layer under his sweater before sliding on some shoes and going out after trying to keep Rini alright and intended to go and see if the newspapers had printed anything odd. Like perhaps a building collapsing, and a large sum of people waking up from a nap, saft and unharmed but with rather foggy memories. So he picked up the paper, reading the date first, it was coming closer to when the death date was coming up. The worst day of the entire year. Always without fail. He read the stories in there, and had begun to notice that he wasn't alone at this early morning coffee shop, and every time he peered over the paper it seemed as if more girls had multipled. By the time he had finished the one part he needed to, there was a large circle of them giggling and staring on over at him like he was some pet. Unlike the others, he didn't make a break for it when the girls showed up like that, instead he turned on his charm, working as it tended to do without him really even doing it all that much on purpose. As usual by the time he left, the girls just thought that they had seen a wonderful, new side to Ryu and they'd keep it a secret from the other fan girls who didn't deserve to know. Girls were rather silly creatures sometimes, and they were all different but similar in some ways. Ryu truthfully did want to protect them all. By the time he had gotten back to the dorm, Kira and Rini were being interviwed it seemed by Miranda while Jun-Jun was finishing up breakfast. He frowned, the other two lazy ones were still asleep and they had been the ones so hell-bent on trying to see Kira last night. So he shuffled right into their rooms and within almost seconds it seemed, he came out with a Yano and a Tanko, and settled down on a chair, yawning for a very rare point in his life as he tossed the paper down on the coffee table. "The accident was published, but it was just something that had slipped into their drinks by accident or something. Didn't really make much sence, but no one really knows anything." he said, frowning a bit as he didn't like to lie if he could help it.
Tanko had been having very good dreams actually despite how he had fallen asleep, and Yano slept without dreams, but still usually got rest that way. Both of them had been rudly woken up by Ryu, though it wasn't really rude, it was just a little rushed because otherwise with them, they'd end up sleeping all day and wake up around late afternoon again and only then start to get to work. Because they had been so roughly tugged out of their room and so quickly, they still had their sleepy morning eyes. Yano wore a pair of silk pajamas, though the top was fully unbuttoned, and hanging lazily over him as if frantically clinging in an attempt to stay on, while his matching dark red pants left the majority of his body exposed, but covered up everything he ought to. Tanko was wearing even less because he had passed out last night without recalling there were others in the house, simply wearing a pair of black boxers, both of them looking gorgeous even this early in the morning as they yawned, streatched and rubbed their sleepy eyes awake.
"My dear! Your okay." Tanko said grinning as he walked over rather quickly and sat down next to Kira, latching his arms around her as he hugged her warmly to himself, though he felt eyes tearing a whole inside of him and sure enough he glanced over and saw Miranda there. He let go of his grasp, hands dropping after holding them up in the air a bit defensively as he grinned. "Miranda...what a pleasure to see you this fine-" he started, and was interupted with, "Put on some pants you man whore." and he sulked, standing up and eyeing Kira and then sending a look to Yano that he better not doing anything either as he shuffled back off to his room, hitting his head lightly on the door before he shut it closed.
Yano walked over to the fridge, stealing a piece of bacon smoothly when Jun-Jun wasn't looking and drinking his normal morning drink which was full of caffinee. Yano hated mornings in actuality, though you couldn't tell too much other than the fact that his actions tended to be a little more sluggish and he wasn't fully as smooth as he normal was. The mornings proved that Yano had many faults. And so as he yawned and sat down on the edge of the couch, on the arm stand next to Rini he grinned, smirking faintly as he waved a bit to Kira, glad that she was in fact alive and not dead as some might have persumed. Well...really glad actually. "So what now?" he asked Ryu as he looked over at him, wishing to know what the next step was, but then looked at Miranda, knowing it'd probably be better to ask her.

Kira was grouchy. She hadn't slept well at all, not even a little bit. The night had been spent tossing and turning with her face contorted in pain. Her arm was killing her. She couldn't move it at all without searing pain, so she kept giving up. Her dreams were full of bloody images of herself attacking people. They were always horrifying to her, someone who knew they had in fact happened, and could easily again. She saw herself in darkness first, but she was in her human form. Her hands were dripping red, and then in front of her appeared the body of a man. She'd seen him often, and though she didn't know him, he looked the same in every dream he came to. He was always positioned in the same manner as well. His eyes were wide and staring, his lips parted in a silent scream. He was lying on his back, in a puddle of his own blood, his chest ripped open. And Kira stood there, staring through wide eyes, terrified, trembling, and whimpering as tears poured down her face. Her hands were raised and held away from herself, wishing she could just cut them off. These weren't her hands. Her hands weren't stained red with blood. She wouldn't do that...! But she would, and she had. She'd done it several times, woken covered in blood, and had haunting nightmares for months, even years, every night without fail. She hadn't had one for a while, but the string of clear dreams was broken now with this repeating one, from the very first incident. Her first victim...
She awoke in a cold sweat, yelping out, her body jolting, then flinching back into the bed as she clutched at her arm. She used her left hand to wipe her face, finding she had been crying in her sleep. Her legs were twisted in the sheets, and it took a huge deal of effort to free herself with just one hand, while keeping her body from moving too much. She'd then fallen back, closing her eyes as she swallowed anxiously, holding her bandaged head tightly. It was pounding, and her arm was hurting beyond belief. She couldn't stand it..! But she was. She had to. She couldn't bring herself to call for help. No one knew what had happened, and she didn't want to explain why her face was streaked with tears, or why her body was shaking. And so she'd lay there until morning, silent and unmoving, until Rini came to retrieve her. She had gotten up silently, biting her lip and wincing, stumbling a little, and ended up having to use Rini to help her walk. Then she'd collapsed rather heavily on the couch, and looked up to see a woman there. Kira glared at her without thinking, as something had clicked in her head. She knew her. Or rather, she'd seen her before. But the memory was fuzzy, and not the type of fuzzy that came with passing of time. It was the fuzziness that shrouded the events that took place while she was transformed. And she remembered now even better from seing her face. It was this woman's fault that the building had collapsed. It was her fault that Kira was in so much pain she could hardly function, and now she thought she had the right to start threatening her?! Tch. Kira snorted lightly and turned her head away, aware that she probably seemed rude and could get in trouble, but currently no where close to caring. She was infuriated. They had to earn her permission to see them? And she'd lock them inside.. their houses? How lame! This was rediculous. She was just a power hungry, over controlling band manager. A band manager! She had no write to boss her around! And Kira didn't have the time to listen to this s**t right now.
She had made up her mind to just ignore the woman even more completely by getting up and walking out, when Tanko and Yano suddenly showed themselves. She looked over at them, suddenly appearing nervous, and for good reason. As she'd expected, Tanko had come right over and hugged her up against himself. "I-I'm not..!" she gasped in pain, squeezing her eyes shut as her arm was shifted painfully again. But she couldn't blame him, because she guessed he didn't know. He hadn't seen her last night, and neither had Yano. She was too distracted by the pain to realize at first that Tanko wasn't dressed, but when the woman spoke to him, she stiffened a little more and her cheeks flushed red, and even deeper as she stole another look at Yano. Oh man... He'd waved at her, and he was all exposed too... She sighed, closing her eyes briefly again as she gathered herself, and then she suddenly stood, her expression full of determination mixed with pain and the effort to stand. "W-well, I don't know about y-you all..." she started, voice shaking as she wobbled in place. "But I'm g-going to check out that c-convenient hospital we have so n-nicely placed on campus." And with that, she headed off, stumbling and walking in an accidental zig-zagging pattern to the door, only to end up falling against it when she finally reached it, and rested there for a second before her determined look grew, and she started fussing with the doorhandle weakly with her left hand, keeping her right arm cradled close against her stomach.

Tanko wasn't sure how to love. He did the best he could, and believed that he was doing things correctly and things were going really good sometimes, but without a response from Kira, or one that was constantly being taken away by Yano or others, he really couldn't catch anything that she was feeling. Love was hard for him to understand, but he put fourth a heavy amount of effort and tried his best to constantly stand up straight to it, making sure that he loved as he could only guess how. Even if it wasn't good enough for her, he kept on trying, he probably would keep on trying over and over again, and would just grow with experience. Tanko only wanted her experience though, anothers for his first real love wouldn't seem to do any good at all. And as he picked up a pair of duck pajama bottoms, he shuffled through his thoughts trying to keep himself from getting too downtrotted by the situation, because things weren't always the same with it so he shouldn't treat it like that. There were constant new things arising, for instace, he had a feeling that the entire group had now become attatched to Kira similar, if not exactly like how he was. Now walking out of his bedroom, a bit more properly clothed, as he cast his eyes around the room trying to find her, only to see her struggling near the door. It couldn't have been longer than a few seconds by the time he was by her side once more, kneeling down as he looked her frantically over. "Hey, hey! Come on, don't move around too much, Let me just carry you there alright? I'll be gentle." he replied, his voice sounding normal, but his words were rushed a bit frantic, coated with a heavy dose of worry as tried to keep her from standing him. Silly him, he had been so busy thinking of her, that he hadn't fully regonized her syptoms this morning. Would she forgive him for it, or did she already want to relay on someone else instead? There was very little from keeping Tanko's doubtful thoughts like that out of his mind, but he did try the best he could to at least be assure of himself while he was with her. "Sorry I didn't notice before Kira." he replied, clasping his hands together apologetically as he leaned forward, kissing a small bruise on her neck gently. "It can be fixed right?" he asked, rather close to her without intentally being so, his voice low as he truely wanted nothing more than to help ease her pain away. And he would be very displeased if she had to go to a hospital or had to be taken away from him as well, but he'd swallow his wants for her. In every heartbeat he owned. As for the kiss he had just given her, though it was still not on the lips, he hadn't even thought about it after doing such or while doing it. It just seemed natural, too bad he didn't notice because it just proved that he did know how to love, simple actions like that being the thriving force for how he would act in a romantic relationship. He had dated before, it was trival in comparsion to Kira, and he couldn't recall anything of worth, not to be rude to those girls, but the feelings they arised from him were stopped short when he was with Kira. Tanko wasn't just hot for Kira, he was consumed with her, wanted her, needed her, but again...he wanted to just want him as much as he did. Otherwise, such feelings would remain untouched and eventually turn to dust and slip away from his mind one day. You could see why he always tried his best when it came to such matters then, couldn't you?
Yano understood too much of a situation at times. Especially when he wanted things to be a surprise when it could be that way, but he generally could just have a feeling where things were going without many clues surronding it. A good bit of time, he was aware that he himself had very little of his orginal self inside of him, like he was running on empty and just doing the things he knew how to do flawlessly. Maybe nothing he did had much of any real meaning to it, and they were just pretty sounding words. But it was terriable to think that way, Yano still believed he had a soul, even if it was a troubled thing. And as long as he still had some light around him, then he'd be able to keep going on strong, even if it took time. It helped to wake up every morning though, and know that he was still in love with Kira when he woke up. The emotions hadn't died away so he was able to keep doing things to increase them, and help them along with his heart, in hopes it would be healed one way or another by her. So he watched the situation, his eyes even closed as he could see what was going to happen and could feel what expression and emotions each person had when they spoke. It wasn't a magical ability or anything, he was just aware of things when they passed on by. He opened his eyes though, turning towards the sun as he watched Kira silently and softly. Seeing Tanko run next to her, was nothing new, but occosionally it became a problem, no matter how much the two shared time with Kira she wasn't a doll, despite Yano's wishes. So since she was a person, things wouldn't work out very well forever, someone would get frustrated. He pushed the feelings away though as he bit the last bit off the bacon and licked his lips hungrily, before slipping off the couch and bending down next to Kira's other side as he examined her as well. "Would a kiss make it all better?" he replied smoothly , his hands grasping her right hand softly as he looked at her, a smirk flew back to his lips as he couldn't help but act cheeky and romantic towards her as he tended to do in general towards everyone. Still, he believed it was strong in general for Kira, but he got the feeling she might not very well know the truth. He couldn't say that he loved her very well, it didn't sound right, so he just showed her as much affection as he could. Would she drown in it? Or accept it and return some of her lovely amounts back? Only time would be able to tell what reaction would occur, and Yano would wait paitently. Despite the childish need and overgrowing feelings that sometimes threatened to spoil everything. Because they were there too, hidden in the darkness, but constantly trying to push out and taint his lovely flower, bring her down to the darkness in him as well and not let her go.
Miranda wasn't surprised that Kira had ignored her at all. It was better that way, if she had gotten an answer immdately then she wouldn't have believed it anyway. Still, since she showed her very little respect, she simple sat there, knowing that that despite Kira's words she wasn't getting far with the injuries she had supstained while she drinked some water, refreshing her very dehydrated body after getting a bit drunk before bed last night. Hearing her drop, she also expected that though she winced a bit when it occured, not a robot herself either, just trying to constantly do what was in the best intrest for the Emo Boyz. It wasn't just her job, but her life, and it was alright that Kira didn't understand that yet, she wouldn't resent the girl for that. She looked over though as the boys started to crowd around her once more and Miranda stood up, smoothly and calmly walking over as she gently nudged them both away, "Give her room, you'll just increase her wounds further, in addition to her and my headache." she replied, as she bent down and helped Kira to her feet, lightly leading the girl by touching her back gently towards the balcony and closing the door behind her. "I know you don't wish to be alone with me, but healing is something I'm pratically certifed for." she said as she set Kira down in a chair and pulled up one next to her, sitting the way a guy would, with it turned opposite and her legs sprung out lazily. "Let's start with your physical wounds then." she said as she reached forward and carefully pulled up Kira's sleeves, rolling them up as much as she could and then examing the wound on her right arm. It was her fault it was there, but it was Miranada's fault for a great deal of things, if she apologized for everything, she'd grow old with her words and they'd loose importance. So she reached forward, her hand cold to the touch as she pressed it against Kira's skin, and then suddenly it warmed up like when you stepped into a cold shower and the water suddenly grew warm. No light or anything came from her hand, but the bruise that was there dissapeared, and so did the pain that Kira would have felt. Any other additional discomfort that Kira felt in her body would also be healed as the magic went through the rest of her body. "And now the mental damage, because it feels like somethings on your mind that shouldn't be. Now then, close your eyes for me." she said, and then reached forward, pressing her hand onto Kira's head this time and instead of healing a physical wound she went into Kira's mind. And although she could probably pry around, that was defiently a ruthless thing to do, despite what kind of person you or they might be. So she just latched onto the worry that was there, it wasn't hard to find at all because it was consuming her mind a bit, just as Miranda had thought. She went over the worry, watching it in a mere few seconds and then made it dissapear. She couldn't of course make a memory fully dissapear or anything, but it subsided to the back of her mind, and wouldn't be brought out unless Kira purposly tried to do so. She pulled her hand back and sighed, her energy a bit weaker now, but only by a bit, before she looked back up at Kira. "Despite what you think, I do know what your going through. I've been through the same thing as you, waking up and not knowing what you've done but knowing it surely must have been bad. Or if there's no proof of what was done, then your mind wonders terriably to every bad natured thing you could have done." she replied smiling sadly as she ran a hand through her hair and glanced out towards the sky. "Last night was like that for me too, I hadn't meant to cause harm to anyone, I was actual just going over here to meet you and make sure that you weren't some crazy fan that was trying to kill them while they slept." she said chuckling lightly, though looked a bit more serious as she turned back to Kira and looked her in the eyes. "I don't know if it will ever go away for you, because it certaintly hasn't for me. But all I know for sure is that there are people out there who will accept you time and time again despite the accidents and faults that have happened. So just make sure you don't let go of them and then you can find peace in your own mind." she said, finishing off her words as she stood up a bit and looked back over at her with a slight grin. "I'm glad your not crazy. And I hear that you have pretty cute ears too, eh? I'm gonna go home today. And Kira, make sure that you pick the one you really love, despite how you might hurt the others, because time and people can heal everything. Right?" she asked with a small smile before slipping back into the dorm and gathering up her items.
Ryu was trying to keep the peace in the room, but he was also aware that sometimes it was best to just keep things quiet and try and fix things aftewords. So he simply sat down on the couch and kept his eyes closed, not being rude or mean to his friends but just trying to find his peace of mind rather quickly. It was difficult, but he moved on past things, like all the thoughts that would constantly rush up into your head and try to stick there, all the negative things. They all just tended to increase with age, and he wasn't so good at making sure that they stayed out because he was usually far too busy to making everyone else's lives clean and easy. By the time Kira had fallen he had opened his eyes though, looking towards her though the other two came too quickly once more, and then Miranda, who among other things was a healer, took her out to properly take care of the wounds. They had been treated, but only by the medicine that they had the dorm, and of course that was done by Jun-Jun. So he stood up, turning towards the downtrotted boys as Kira was taken out to be fixed. He was worried, but he was worried everytime over everything, and he still had no idea what had really happened to her last night. And still though, Kira didn't know everything considering them either, so he supposed it was a fair trade. When she wanted to tell him, he'd listen and devote his attention completely to her, though he tended to do that anyway. "Go get dressed in real clothing, and clean your rooms, and hurry up about it, because Jun-Jun was kind enough to make a large breakfast. Some come on you two." he replied with a light smile, once again acting like a father without intending to, or perhaps he was. After all not even Ryu fully understood why he did the things that he happened to do, he just did them as felt natural to him. It wasn't a ploy for him to appeal for everyone, but then again since Kate had left, he wasn't entirely sure if anyone had been able to know him quite the same. It was a shame, but there wasn't anyone to blame on this, he just should try and look harder for things that he wanted himself sometimes. For now, he focused on others once more though as he let his own personal happiness wait another day and helped clean up the room and then talked with Miranda when she entered once more, chatting about the new things that were to be done later on, and also helping her pack up, assuring her that she didn't need to bring her bottel of whisky and whine with her onto the plane and that he'd send her some sake as well in the mail by the time she got back. Ah, what an odd woman to deal with, Kira too on that side though, wasn't fully normal, and yet he liked that. Her uncertainty was admeriable sometimes.
Jun-Jun was just making breakfast. He wasn't thinking anything deep or doing anything excessively meaningful at that current time, and was just trying to focus on keeping things from burning while he buttered the last bit of toast and biscuts and set them on plates. That was a bit of a lie though, he was thinking a bit of what he had done last night, knowing it was sudden. It was sudden to him too though, he wasn't sure why he had kissed Kira, or why he also wanted to kiss Rini, though he knew it wasn't okay to want it the same amount. Or rather, be unsure of which you would rather do more, because when it came down to it, Jun-Jun had no clue which one was making him want them more. And it wasn't like he didn't have trouble with this either, or like either girl certaintly liked him, or that he didn't have competition. Kira was liked by pretty much all of them, and he was pretty sure she simply wrote him off as a kid, even though he was only a few years younger than her. Would she ever see him differently? Rini meanwhile was his age, and sometimes when he looked at her it seemed like she really did like him, and he could be sure of it. Then again, she'd get all flustered when Ryu or one of the others came up to her too as well, so how was he supposed to know what the difference was? Really...Jun-Jun's love life was just being unfair to him lately, as it had tended to be left in that uncertain and untouched state ever since she had left him to deal with his shattered feelings in such a cold manner. Again though, of course Jun-Jun wasn't thinking about these things, or thinking about how they always consumed his mind and thoughts entirely. He was just making bacon. Or so he played it off. Though he glanced as Rini entered the kitchen and grabbed some of the food he made looking at her.
Rini could tell something had happened. She swallowed her fear of this though, and kept on moving on for the sake of those around her, including Kira. It wasn't like Kira had asked them all to fall for her, it was just something that had happened. But she saw it. She had seen it last night and written it off as just a day dream and not a vision. It had occured in her drunken sleep after all so she could surely just pass it off as something that had no meaning to it than a school girl's worries. But she had seen the kiss that Jun-Jun had given Kira and it was enough to make her stomach turn knots as she had now just seemed to be reminded of it. So that was it then? Jun-Jun was gone to her? Rini tried to stay focused though, keep herself from slipping off to a depressed state again as she heard Kira fall and jumped up, though she was already covered by two men and then taken off by the woman. Rini hadn't answered the woman either, she had been wrapped up in her own thoughts, but she imagined she wasn't quite as great of a concern as Kira was. Rini didn't seem to be much of a concern to anybody...actually, though it wasn't there fault, they all certaintly did have important things to worry about. So she stood and trudged over to the kitchen, taking some food and eating it slowly before looking over at Jun-Jun when she could feel his eyes on her. "It's okay. I forgive you, we're not together after all." she said softly, sadly, dully before trudging back out and speaking with Miranda, her voice a bit perked up and forcably done so as she cheered on those around her a bit more. Sure she was messed up, but out of this whole bunch around them, who wasn't right now?
