Who: Ayumu and Tom (with a brief appearance of the Jealous Boyfriends)
What: Some boys like to take their jealousy out on the little brother.
When: After school on a Tuesday
Where: Behind the gym. It's always behind the gym.
Why: ~~Every king needs a knight!~~ Every hero needs a sidekick!

Ayumu was sitting on the low wall behind the gym, turning the card over and over again in his hands. How old school. Things like this only happened in manga. Using a card to say "Hey meet you behind the gym because we're gonna kick your ass PUNK". They even used the wrong kanji for a few words! Delinquents. They must be the part of an awesome school experience. And who better to have the complete awesome school experience than himself? He chuckled to himself at the thought. Wait until he told Mihari.

He glanced down at his cell phone, pausing for a moment to check his mail, when he could hear the sound of the group of boys rounding the corner of the gym. "Oooh so they finally did decide to show up! Make this quick--one of my shows is having a special on today and I have to get back in time to watch it." He glanced up with a confident grin and slid the phone back into his bag.

"Don't be so smart, Murata!" one of the guys returned. "You're trying to steal our girlfriends, aren't you?"

"I told you, it's not my fault everyone is obsessed with Hideki-nii. Take your problems up with him." Ayumu made a show of inspecting his nails. "I'm sure he'd be very amused a bunch of middle schoolers want to pick on a grown man because he's popular and they're not."

The guys clustered closer, grumbles proving how not amused they were. "You're the one conveying the gifts and autographs back and forth. So obviously you're the one we have a problem with."

Ayumu rolled his eyes and stood up. He didn't exactly tower over the other boys--at his worst one came up to the tips of his ears--so he had to look up to give the leader a bored look. "Can't you just complain to your girlfriends?"

"Or," one replied, cracking his knuckles, "We can just beat up the messenger and then the others will learn not to deal with you or your brother."

Holding up his hands with a rather uneasy laugh, Ayumu took a step back. "Now now, no need to be so childish..." Right, getting picked on is a part of an 'awesome' high school life. Note the sarcasm, self. /Awesome/.

	Tom looked back at the boy, and quirked a brow. "No thank you." He gave the one kid he actually kicked. A look as he stumbled away. Then turned to the small boy. "They more then deserved a lot more then they got. There's nothing you could possibly have done to warrant a group attacking you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Ayumu shrugged. "Looks like it's cookies for breakfast again," he said as he put them back into his bag. "And naw, I really haven't done anything. There's that saying "don't shoot the messenger", so one of these days I really need to get my brother down here so he can be harassed by his rabid fans and their boyfriends."

With another careless shrug, Ayumu shoved his hands into the pockets of his uniform pants. "Thanks all the same, Senpai."

	Tom likewise pocketed his hands, and looked slightly confused. "They were going to beat you up? Over your brother. Who's your brother and... why does he have fans?" Tom sighed, he was surprised that he could still be bothered by the casual injustice of the world. "You shouldn't be out after school alone you know, there are dangerous people around."

"Ehhh they were probably just bluffing. There's always a few radicals but they never can bring themselves to do something bad when they really don't have it in them. Just intended to scare me a bit." Ayumu looked a little startled when this guy asked him about his brother. He had thought it was common knowledge that he was related to Hideki. "My brother? Murata Hideki? He's the star of that one corny Monday night drama I can never be bothered to remember the name. It's some historical drama thing. I even get teachers asking me to get his autograph for them. Man I thought everyone in the city knew!" He let out a short laugh, running his hand back through his hair.

"Pfft I'm out after school all the time. I mean, the dorm is just right over there." He jabbed his thumb in the direction of the building. "And I got drama club that gets out late sometimes. I'm not always alone, since a lot of the club lives in the dorms also, but from time to time I go off on my own. I just got called out today, s'all. No need to worry so much 'bout me, Senpai. I normally don't get called out so today was a bit of an adventure!"

"Murata huh? Sorry, I've never heard of your brother."

Tom cocked his head to the side. He really... liked this kid, very much in spite of himself. The boy was brave, willing to do things others would call dangerous or stupid because of a commitment to his ideals, and he didn't care what other people thought about him.
Maybe his ideals were... kind of strange, but even still it was the kind of thing Tom had admired about Sonozaki. And again he wondered why he was thinking of her.

He shook his head to clear it. And looked down at the middle schoolar. And that's when it hit him, something was off about this kid, something stood out. He had the potential to be a persona user. Tom let out a breath.

"I'm Sagaki, Thomas. There's a girl at this school named Hayashi. You should talk to her, ask her to take you to see Kiriko Ikeda."

Ayumu waved a hand to dismiss the thought. "Don't worry. Hideki-nii needs one less person in the world to know about him. He's too popular in this town for his own good." He calmly returned the other guy's stare, rather blank-faced and blinking up at him.

It was his turn to tilt his head to the side, purposefully mimicking Sagaki's pose. "Hayashiiiii.... Haaaayaaashiii...." Ayumu ran the name over in his mouth a few times and mulled in thought before shrugging his shoulders and shaking his head slightly. "I don't know who she is, but I guess I'll ask around. Then again, if this Ikeda-san goes to the high school, couldn't I just ask around there? Quite a few of the teachers like me already~"

"If you think you can manage it, then go ahead. She won't be hard to find, she's fairly well known. There's some information you ought to have."

Tom nodded, he was really tempted to simply take the kid, explain Paradise and train him. But the thought was just ridiculous. Tom closed his eyes and sighed at himself, then returned his attention to the boy.

"And I'll start keeping an eye on the middle school, so if anyone gives you any trouble, I'll be around."

He hesitated, staring up at Sagaki for a few seconds in silence with a growing look of confusion. Some information he should have? People normally came right out and told him if there was anything he needed to know. Then again, maybe he wasn't as well-known by the high school department students. And he obviously didn't know this Hayashi girl so she couldn't give him information. Well, there was no reason why she couldn't seek him out herself if this was something he needed to know and obviously more than one person knew about it--....... Okay too much thinking was going into this.

"I don't think the middle school will offer too much of a problem," Ayu said in an off-hand manner. "Stuff like this rarely happens from what I can tell. But by all means--" He swung his arm around to indicate the school grounds with a large grin. "The king always welcomes a willing vassal!" Not that this senpai would understand the position he held on this campus as King.
