[I'm SoRrY] Can't you hear them? [i'M sOrRy] The footsteps?

[Irisu Kyouko]

Kenji was leaning back in his chair, taking a rest after lunch. He turned to Rolo as the boy ran to the door. "I didn't hear anything," he admitted, shrugging. He turned to Selim. "Rika ran off. We don't know where she went or why she left..." He sighed, a sudden wave of worry causing him to lean forward and rest his chin on his upturned palm. ".... Hope she's okay...." he muttered, his voice low.

Mikuru patted Selim's arm. "I think that's enough sugar for now," she said in a rather comforting voice. "And yes, PE is next. I'm sure we can find you a uniform somewhere." She glanced up, hearing the voice faintly. "What was that?" she wondered aloud, her voice racked with slight fear.

[Enoch]

Selim noticed Mikuru looked frightened. "Its okay! We are not alone!" he exclaimed as he hugged the girl. As he continued to hug Mikuru, he turned his head to Kenji.
"Is Rika-san okay? ...What about Rolo-chan?" he pointed to the younger boy who ran over to him tilting his head up high just so he could look at Selim's face.

"Who are you calling 'chan'?!" Rolo yelled at Selim as the boy looked down on him. "I thought you were supposed to call chan to a little boy? Rolo is little... he is only as tall as to be knee..." Selim exclaimed pointing out the obvious.

"And if I remember correctly, Fumika would always call Rolo with a chan when she was alone talking to her imagnary friend about the group."

[Harpy•]

Phyre nodded slightly, understanding the need for secrecy, but still completely baffled. "I hope he can," she muttered, then glanced around. "Should we head back?" she asked, slightly apprehensive, though she had no idea as to why.

[Irisu Kyouko]

".... Not alone...." Mikuru echoed, realizing Selim's bubbly comforts only made her more frightened. She subtly moved closer to Selim, seeming to calm down in his embrace. She looked up at Selim, listening to him as he spoke. She blinked at Selim's final words. ".... Imaginary friend?" she asked quietly

Kenji shrugged. "Who knows is she's safe or not. It was like she was chasing something.... or someone." He scratched the back of his head, then stood up. "C'mon, guys let's get ready for PE. You too, Rolo-chan." Kenji's tone of voice had returned to its usual teasing state, but it seemed he was forcing it.

[Enoch]

Rika nodded. "Yep lets return back now!" and with that Rika ran right back holding Phyre by the hand knowing that they needed to hurry.
It was only a few minutes before the two girls made it back. "Well, lets get ready for PE then, right Phyre?!" she laughed clearly in a cheery mood now that everything has gone by now.

------------

Rika walked into the classroom to see the usual chaos going among her friends...
Among the chaos something was quiet noticable... Selim now had picked up Rolo, exclaiming something that sounded like, "Rolo-chan is so little and I have to help him out! Time to change into our uniforms together! I guess I will help him change!" And so Selim ran by Rika holding the kicking Rolo down as they went to the bathroom together.

Rika sweatdropped as she walked in over to Kenji. "Um, how was your lunch?" she smiled with a blush. "I bet it was fun!"

[Harpy•]

Phyre followed Rika at a slower pace, not wanting to be out of breath before they even started the P.E. class. She sighed when she saw Rika immediately go over to Kenji and brushed a few strands of red hair from her face, standing by the gym door and surveying the class, feeling out of place again.

[Irisu Kyouko]

"Lunch was hell, as usual," Kenji replied, sighing and looking away for a moment. His gaze snapped back to Rika and he grabbed her shoulders. "Where the hell did you go?!" he demanded, coming to realization he was acting all too natural. "Who was it you were chasing after?" His voice was low, but still carried a hint of worry and panic.

Mikuru glanced at Rika as she returned, but turned to Selim as he carried Rolo off. "Selim, wait! I don't think that's very..... appropriate....." She sighed as Selim ran off, then walked off to change her own uniform.

[Enoch]

Rika wagged her finger in Kenji's face. "I'm okay, isn't that whats important! I wasn't chasing after anyone important... I mean... I went home to get something!"
She put on her cheery face hoping to change the subject. Her eyes darted to her half eaten lunch. "Want it Kenji?"

[Irisu Kyouko]

".... Well, fine. If you say so. At least tell us where you're going next time." He smiled weakly, as if relieved. His eyes followed Rika's, and he rolled his shoulders. "What? Are you trying to kill me?" He snickered. "Kidding. I'm fine. Let's get ready for PE." He let go of her shoulders, one hand gently brushing Rika's arm. He turned away, disappearing into the bathroom to change.

[Enoch]

Rika just smiled as she made her way to the bathroom with Mikuru to get changed. She quickly changed as her eyes darted to Mikuru.
"Kenji really likes me doesn't he? He just pulled one of those stupid flirt thing on me like he always does. Think I should 'notice' it? Do you think I should you know.... hook up with him?"

------------------------

In the boys bathroom, a whole other story was happening. Selim was holding Rolo upside down trying to get the pants off while not noticing that the only reason the pants weren't coming off was because Selim's feet were all ready holding it down by the right foot being... you know where!
"Why won't the pants come off?!" he pulled harder and still didn't notice that whenever he pulled harder he would push down harder where his foot was...

When Kenji came in, Rolo looked like he was going to start crying. "Kenji-niisan!!! Selim is trying to 'help' me and when I said no, he started doing this!"
