“I am Takaya Sakaki, leader of Strega…. Hm, you look cute.” Takaya commented.

“U-Uh…thank you…I…I’m Hanako Ikezawa…” she stammered out, taken aback by his forward remark.

Yamaku’s Campus seemed all kinds of different after Hanako had left.  Much to Hisao’s disappointment, he seemed to be one of the few that even noticed she had left at all.  It had angered him, made him restless, antisocial at times.  It shouldn’t have affected him this much, he would think to himself.  It had been so long ago that she left, he hardly remembered why…

Today was just like any other; stagnant, bland, homework-ridden.  Hisao, feeling somewhat claustrophobic, found his focus drastically waning today, and was beyond relieved to hear the final class bell ring across campus.  As opposed to traversing to the Library today he was initially going to just go straight to his room after class but he remembered he had to check a few books back in and ended up heading that way anyhow.

His heart grew heavy as he crossed over the Library’s threshold.  Not too many were aware of this, but since Hanako left, Hisao had gained a strange compulsion.  He would often sneak back to a corner of the library, the corner where a familiar bean bag chair sat, and visit it.  Morbid as it seemed, it was almost like a grave of some kind, Hisao visiting it some days and trying to bring some kind of closure, or some other days rounding the corner hoping she would magically appear there in the chair, face hidden behind a book again.

“Get a grip, Hisao.  Maybe she’s not coming back…”

“Maybe…but I still want to look…”

This day, as he rounded that ever familiar corner, there was no possible way he could be prepared for what he saw.

In the corner, for the first time in months, sat a familiar, meek figure, face hidden by a curtain of purple hair.  Countless possible and rehearsed hellos all jumped together into a wild mush of thoughts and words, tumbling out of his mouth in a choked and amazed…

“Oh, my God!”

Hanako’s head snapped up immediately at the startled exclamation. She recognized that voice and her grip instantly tightened on her book, almost using it as a shield. Sure enough, Hisao Nakai was standing before her, staring at her in amazement and shock. Before, she would have smiled at him and made room for him to sit with her on the beanbag; now, it was all she could do to keep herself from darting out of the room.

“H-Hello…” she greeted him, her voice barely audible. She held her book up higher to hide her face, which was starting to grow pink. She wasn’t what to say next, so she kept quiet and waited for him to say something. Anything, really. She wasn’t sure what she wanted him to say, so she awkwardly waited for him to talk.

Ahhh, that sucks. ;; *hugs tight*

She nodded again and smiled timidly at him. While still feeling a little skittish, she felt more at ease with him than with her other classmates. “Yes…it’s surprising how…how…crowded it g-gets…”

Bakura returned her timid smile with a soft one of his own. He enjoyed talking to her, it was calming. “Which is exactly why I see it better to wait it out.” 

“Y-Yeah,” she agreed softly. “There’s n-no crowd to f-fight…when I’m g-going to th-the library…”

Had she really seemed so disoriented? She didn’t dwell on that, she’d have plenty of time for that later. “I’m H-Hanako…” She blinked in surprise at his question. Fun? She was at a loss. “Um…The library…usually…has good books…” she offered weakly.

“Thanks but i’m more of a music guy, know of any good bands play around here ?

or even better yet dose this place have a music class or club or something ?” 

She bit her lip as she thought over a reply. “Uh…th-there’s…a karaoke b-bar…in th-the city…” Before her leave of absence, she’d frequented the small karaoke club with Lilly and Hisao for special occasions, but beyond that, hadn’t gone out very much.

“Ya i figured as much you look about as lost as i am.”

He said with a small chuckle.

“Any way i’m Ryo, and i was wondering would you happen to know if there’s anything fun to do around here.?
