Re: MEETING keiito 2009-07-29 09:42 pm UTC (link)

"She got lost," was Keiichi's immediate reply to Kou, with a nod. "Welcome, Oubai-san." He turned back to Sonozaki-san, fully intent on walking her back. "Really, it's no trouble at all. I can walk you back to camp. Wouldn't want someone to be alone in the woods." Really, it was also an excuse for him to get away from the group. Right now, he wasn't particularly pleased with most of them, particularly the son-of-a-yakuza who was trying to run this like it was a meeting of the Yamato-gumi. Keiichi clutched the map a bit tighter. Why did they all have to be so...unreasonable? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Re: MEETING some_other_dog 2009-07-29 10:36 pm UTC (link)

Reizo wasn’t sure what had just happened. Misaki had bumbled over in her characteristic annoying, blithe way she had, invited the girl he was quite plainly telling to go away to stay for lunch despite it being a waste of everyone‘s time, and then Kanaye had developed the incredible idea to stomp on his foot. All this happened while the small, bookish girl he’d been intending to scare off developed a backbone and goggled up at him ineffectually. It was like a Chihuahua staring down a mastiff. He hadn’t been stunned in a long while, but there it was. When had he become someone they thought they could openly defy and walk away unscathed? It was true he wasn’t busting as many heads at school as he used to, but there was no need-- people barely looked him in the eye in the halls anymore. He glared at sidelong at Misaki, turned his dirty look back to his tiny senpai as she turned to ask for the map, and finally let go of Shiori. And then powered Kanaye’s face into the trunk of the nearest tree with a satisfied sigh. “Oi, Satou-kun,” he said, grabbing a fistful of the older boy‘s hair and tugging his head back sharply, “It ain’t nice to stomp on people’s feet.” The tree was wide and stout with bark just coarse enough to make it hurt when Kanaye’s face was forcibly ground against it. “I mean, what if somebody went and did that to you and crippled you? Our soccer star unable to play? That’d be terrible.” “Wouldn’t that be terrible?” he asked the group as a whole, looking over his shoulder at them. He frowned at Kanaye and finally let him go as if finally realizing he couldn‘t speak and have his face grated against a tree at the same time, and cocked his head at a pensive angle as he puffed away on his dwindling cigarette. “Any of you got any ideas for our senpai on how he can keep that from happening?” Oh, I think I know," he started, all semblance of humor draining out of his face, "you stupid fuckers learning that I’m not your fucking buddy."

There was no immediately obvious change in her facial expression as she watched Kanaye's face collide with the trunk of the tree, but she somehow appeared disturbed by what she was witnessing nonetheless. She waited a few seconds before she spoke, looking away from Reizo and the scene happening around him. "Let's go back. Meeting cancelled." She spoke stiffly and quietly and moved towards Misaki as she did so, intending to steer her out of the line of fire before she could say anything. She'd caught the look Reizo shot her earlier and she wasn't certain that her friend knew better than to try for a lecture right now. "There's no point like this, we'll do it some other time." She looked around to the rest of the group, waiting for either dispersion or some sort of agreement. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Re: MEETING zealousemperor 2009-07-29 11:39 pm UTC (link)

Kanaye couldn't really think. He was too busy getting ground against a tree by a yakuza member who was previously choking him. Apperantly, it was a scary enough sight so that absolutely no one did anything about it. And THEY wondered why he was annoying to them? Reizo is quite scary, he admits, but still, they could go get some help or something... Flopping on the ground disgracefully he simply glared at Reizo pathetically and walked away, trying to find his dignity. He couldn't of course, but he tried. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Maeko watched as Reizo attacked Kanaye. It was different seeing it from an outside perspective and she felt like she should do something, but if she couldn't do anything about Reizo for the sake of all the people who visited the club to complain about him there wasn't much she was going to do for Kanaye. Served him right for being stupid. Only an idiot would taunt Shirai like that. "Understood." She said, gathering up her things, not able to leave while people were still using her raincoat as a seat. That hadn't gone particularly well. "You okay, senpai?" She asked Kanaye. She didn't sound particularly concerned, it was just to shut her conscience up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Re: MEETING lotus_beyond 2009-07-30 12:15 am UTC (link)

Her reserves of courage apparently exhausted, Renju turned away with a flinch as soon as Reizo grabbed Kanaye's hair, crossing her arms. It was her duty as his upperclassman to stop this--it should be, anyway--but... no, she was still almost shaking from her first ill-advised attempt at confronting him, and this was just driving the message home. It was obvious that whatever was going on here was something she shouldn't have stumbled upon. She debated an apology, decided it would only make matters worse, and instead started walking briskly off in the direction she'd come. The fewer people who noticed her leaving, the better.

Cold. Kouchisei rubbed his arms quickly. Reizo's brutality had left him bone-numb and he could feel his heartbeat. It was displays like this that reminded him why he kept away from people. Home was safe. This place wasn't. He walked over to Kanaye and looked at the injury. He winched. Stepping back, he cusped his chin in his hand. "Someone should take you to Ishino-sensei."

Re: MEETING zealousemperor 2009-07-30 12:24 am UTC (link)

Noticing both Maeko and Kou came over, he tried to smile. Tried, in the fact that his face was still pretty much raw, so instead he visibly flinched. "No, Maechan, I'm not ok. I kind of got beat up by a yakuza heir." he whispered shakily. "But it's not like you care." Ignoring her for the time being, he instead looked to Kou. "Yeah, I probably should. Say that I slipped and fell or something. Knowing her, she'll believe it..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Re: MEETING keiito 2009-07-30 12:34 am UTC (link)

"Let's get him out of here as soon as possible." The expression on Keiichi's face was somewhere between astonished shock and seething, impotent hatred. He couldn't even look at Shirai-san, because the expression on his face would likely be perceived as hostile and Reizo might decide pummeling one guy who's name started with K wasn't enough for one day. Ito-san walked over to the blonde boy. "We need to go. Now." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Re: MEETING giantfruitbyday 2009-07-30 12:42 am UTC (link)

"Well, he certainly didn't beat any manners into you. That's a relief." Maeko said, folding her arms. "You shouldn't have been taunting him like that in the first place, idiot. You know what he's like. Now are you going to get up or do I need to call Banno-sensei so the teachers can come carry you?" She dug around in her bag, producing a clean handkerchief and a bottle of water and holding them out. "You should wash your face if it's cut at all. People'll ask questions if you're too much of a mess." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Re: MEETING zealousemperor 2009-07-30 12:47 am UTC (link)

Kanaye glared at Maeko briefly before accepting what she offered. He dumped the water over his head and washed his face with the handkerchief, wincing at the stinging sensation. Noticing that the cloth was bloodied, he put his hand to his face and, when he took it back, it had blood on it. Dammit! Hope it doesn't scar... he thought before glaring at Maeko. "I'm glad to see you're happy I'm still my old self, Maechan!" he said sarcastically as he smiled bitterly. He nodded to Keiichi and started limping along. He had absolutely nothing wrong with his leg, but he was always one for the dramatic. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Re: MEETING sakurabamasami 2009-07-30 02:55 am UTC (link)

While Masami wasn't really much of an outdoors person, she did find walking through the forest by herself enjoyable. It was... quiet and relaxing. A nice change from the general chaos of the class trip. It also made for a good tea-drinking atmosphere, she decided as she sipped from her travel cup full of green tea that she had made back at camp. I could get used to nature walks like this, she thought, just before she heard voices not too far away. Curious, she decided to check it out, and it wasn't long before she encountered an unlikely trio: her own classmate, Ito Keiichi, along with two senpais, Akuba Maeko and Satou Kanaye. Immediately apparent was that Kanaye was... in less-than-perfect condition, to say the least. "...Satou-senpai? What happened? Are you OK?" Masami asked, her slight pause the only hint to her surprise. Well, maybe I could get used to nature walks, but not ones like this... she thought in the back of her mind.

Re: MEETING ofmanydevices 2009-07-30 04:29 am UTC (link)

Tom waited a minute or so before he slipped out of the woods near Renju. The girl was far too focused on her situation behind her to even begin noticing that someone was nearby. And Tom needed to do something other then stay at the sight. He'd considered several options, including treating Satou's wounds, and dealing with Shirai, but in the end he realized that the girl who had found them was a detail that no one would notice, and Thomas was good at taking care of the details no one notices. So Tom took a breath and prepared himself to to try something he'd never tried before. Tom smiled and called to her. "Oh, Sonozaki-san! wait a moment." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Re: MEETING lotus_beyond 2009-07-30 04:35 am UTC (link)

Renju jerked visibly, the voice behind her bringing her up short. It was only vaguely familiar, not enough so to place it--thank god it's not Shirai flicked through her mind briefly. Suppressing her nerves for just a moment, she turned around, against her better judgment, and almost immediately regretted it. "... Sagaki-senpai." She swallowed. "I apologize for interrupting your meeting." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: MEETING ofmanydevices 2009-07-30 04:45 am UTC (link)
	Tom rolled his shoulders, and tried to look.... friendly. He stepped closer, arms at his side. "It wasn't that bad Sonozaki-san... okay it was that bad, but truly I'm sorry that you had to see that. But you hsould have an explanation. See the truth is that we're one of the schools clubs" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: MEETING lotus_beyond 2009-07-30 04:52 am UTC (link)
	"A 'club'?" Renju frowned sharply and folded her arms over her chest. Her shakiness was starting to wear off a little now that she was away from the scene, but not quite enough to be too confrontational. ... all the same, she kept her distance from him. "It seemed rather secretive for a club." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Re: MEETING ofmanydevices 2009-07-30 05:00 am UTC (link)

Tom scratched the back of his head. "Yeah... it's... it's the Anti-Bullying Clubs new special outreach program. The idea is they find delinquent students, problem kids and such, then try to befriend them, to get them back in line. Sometimes... like in my case they help, and sometimes it can go badly like you saw. On top of that, the Principal asked that we include some students have problems that we hadn't figured on, like Wakanata-san, she has trouble paying attention, and Satou-san with his terrible, terrible learning disability. We're trying to keep membership as secret as possible, you know, so membership doesn't equal a ruined reputation." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Re: MEETING some_other_dog 2009-07-30 03:45 am UTC (link)

Reizo had taken a new seat on the other side of the clearing and was eyeing them all with the lazy contempt characteristic of any top predator. He sat on a newfound log, hunched forward with one elbow resting on a knee and a lit cigarette dangling from the other hand, cherry red tip bright in the shade of the tree he was sitting under. Apparently what he’d done to Kanaye had been effective. Most of them seemed to be milling about with the wind knocked out of their sails, and no one seemed to have the courage to look up and directly at his face any longer. The smile he showed the ground as he looked down to retrieve a new cigarette was sickeningly satisfied. He watched them over the bobbing tip of his cigarette, sunlight dappling across him and wavering when the wind blew and rustled the boughs and leaves, eyes flinty and expression guardedly solemn. His lips were a hard line behind his cigarette, and sheets of smoke rolled out of the corner of his mouth and into the summer eddies. Just another example to strengthen his theory. “A real leader keeps order,” he said to the tall girl standing away from him as he flashed her a toothy grin, “keeps ‘em from getting themselves killed, keeps things diplomatic between the peons and the tyrants.” The grin faded with a sigh and was replaced with a derisive smile, “But you guys ain’t ever gonna have one of those. You won’t make it anywhere in your little game if this keeps up.” (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Re: MEETING apathyisboring 2009-07-30 04:11 am UTC (link)

Kiriko stood with her arms crossed around the centre of the clearing, trying to ignore Reizo's presence and ignoring the uncomfortable feeling blooming inside of her. She wanted to wait and ensure that everyone left without trouble before leaving herself - specifically, she was waiting to ensure that Misaki didn't pick this moment to engage with Reizo. She rubbed one of her arms. She glanced back over her shoulder when Reizo speaked, blinking at him at first. Her expression settled slowly into a grave frown. Her eye dodged his - she'd meant not to look at his face at all, but found it difficult not to look at the mean scar stretching out from the corner of his mouth. She forced her gaze to meet his for a moment, and it didn't linger as she turned her head away, looking back down to the people filing away. "I don't know why you're telling me that."

Walk. Walk. Walk. ....Then more walking. It was truly the most walking Emi had ever done that didn't include shopping in any way. Instead it just had.... dirt, bugs, trees, over grown plants, and annoying people. It was terrible. By the time she finally reached the clearing she felt like her feet were about to fall off and run away from the rest of her body. She knew they were supposed to have a meeting somewhere, but... it looked like it was over. With an expression of disgust and disbelief she just stood there and stared with a can of bug spray still in her hand. "..... I missed the meeting?!" Her cheeks puffed up in anger and she tossed the can to the ground. Who even starts a meeting until everyone gets there?! Jerks! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Re: MEETING pinksunbeam 2009-07-30 04:39 pm UTC (link)

Misaki was twiching, it wasn't so visible, but she was shaken. The fact that Reizo had done such a thing to Satou and Shiori-chan was way too much. She glanced at Kiriko, who clearly didn't want her to confront him, but she couldn't just let this go. Not after...it was just going to far. Just a bit to far and she hated it, hated feeling like this...it wasn't fair and she just...She held it in till everyone had left, saved for her, Emi, Kiriko and Reizo. Misaki didn't care if Emi saw her like this, she didn't go to the same school and besides that Tomako would probably tell her about smaller blow ups that Misaki had when she was at home in her room. Misaki clenched her fists and glared at Reizo as she spoke heatedly, "I hope you're happy Shirai-san. I really hope you're happy with what you just did. How could you...be...such an...ILL TEMPEPERED, SLOVINISH, BABOON FACED, SIMPLETON! Do you know what you just did! Renji-sempai saw that! She saw it and she's probably going to tell the teachers." "I hate this!" she kicked a log near her foot and winced, that probably wasn't the smartest of ideas. "Why would you do something like that to Shiori-chan, huh? Are you that ignorant that you have to make such a move! I thought you were better then that!" Misaki was shaking, physically now trying hard not to cry but to scream, "I don't get this...why did this have to happen to us! Is this some sort of punishment from Buddah or something, because if it is...I want to know what we did to deserve this." She sat down on the log, curling her toes, trying not to let the pain get to her and glared angrily at Reizo. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

“Just the quiet lament of a softhearted man who can’t stand to see his favorite group of people rip apart at the seams?” He offered, face and tone as grave as he could suffer before the proverbially dam broke and a mocking grin split his face in half. He leaned back against the tree conveniently just inches away from his seat and lifted his cigarette back to his lips, taking another long drag off it as he scanned the grounds. Most of the stragglers had left and it looked like Ikeda-bitch’s tenure as watch dog over the savage Shirai Reizo was coming to a close. Or it would have been, if Emi hadn’t come charging into the clearing. He greeted the young girl with amusement in both eye and voice, “Oi, Hayashi-chan. Rude, innit? Someone should really teach them some manners. I always heard rich kids came with ‘em installed, but I guess we got a broken batch.” His expression broke when Misaki started shouting, overreacting, whining. He watched her coolly from across the clearing, one eyebrow cocked. “Lotsa people have seen me hurt people, Rabbit. Goggle girl won’t say anything. None of you will say anything for fear of getting worse if you do.” His voice was calm and casual, businesslike. He was honestly a little baffled at the shock-- did they just conveniently forget who he was? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Misaki, let's go." her tone was firm, but didn't betray the faint annoyance she was feeling towards the girl. It was a bad situation, but she shouldn't be so surprised by it. The way she saw it, Misaki had some fantasy spun in her head about how Reizo would never hurt a fly - probably something to do with her crush on him, and dangerously naive besides. Why couldn't she see that yelling at him over it was pointless at best and dangerous at worst? She waited for Misaki to move, but kept watch on Reizo out of the corner of her eye and was quite prepared to move between them if he got up and went for Misaki, too.

"Fine I'll go...but I'm not helping him..." she said softly and looked at the ground... then up at Reizo. "Not until Shirai san at least appologizes for what he did to Satou-sempai." "What are you going to do the same thing you did to Satou-san? Smash my face into a wall! Rake it across the bark till I'm bloody and bruised? Please...do try!" she got up and muttered in a cool voice that didn't sound like her normal sweet self. "You know what makes me the most sick Shirai-san...the fact that you'd probably be one of the first to beat the hell out of anyone who did the same thing to Satou-san." She looked at Kiriko then at the ground, as if to comply with leaving. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Re: MEETING doitright 2009-07-31 12:55 am UTC (link)

The youngest couldn't get a word in to reply to anyone before being interrupted by a very upset Misaki. Clearly, she had missed more than just the meeting. Emi didn't realize how tense the situation had been until Misaki started yelling. She was actually really surprised about the reaction. She had yet to see the girl be actually angry about something and she didn't think it was possible with a personality like the one Misaki seemed to have. She was a bit confused, trying to figure what happened from what was going back and forth amongst them. Whatever had happened, Reizo apparently did something pretty bad to someone. The someone being Kanaye and perhaps Shiori from what was being said. She hesitated to butt in until it was over. The whole thing was all very day time TV drama, so she didn't really feel awkward standing there until she realized they had just pretty much left her alone with the intimidating teen when they turned to leave. Right after he had apparently done something terrible, too. She took a step forward and opened her mouth to say something, but paused as she didn't want to make it obvious she was actually a little uneasy about it. So, she just watched them make their exit and then she looked back at Reizo in silence for a few seconds. "I didn't think it was even possible to make her mad." She finally commented with her typical frown and a lack of better words. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
