Kureno saw her relax, and his own muscles responded in kind. His shoulders dropped, his arms lost their tenseness. It probably wasn't the smartest decision, but he was painfully aware of the sunshine that Arisa exuded- so bright and warm it was nearly blinding after such a long absence. It just felt easy to smile at her, to let his head fall a little to the side in a gesture of openness.

"I... would like," he replied, surprising himself just a little. He would- but normally he had much better restraint. Her comment distracted him from trying to decide if this was allowable or idiotic, and he couldn't help but grin a little brighter. "I'm glad to hear that. And- thanks. You're looking well yourself."

He could barely admit to himself how warm and bubbly the sight of her slight flush made her- the open and unreserved happiness he had so little experience with. Seeing her so free with how she displayed her emotions was strange and almost relieving. 

"I've been... good," he said evenly, remembering to keep his tone light. "Busy, and I haven't been out. But I suppose I can't complain. And- yourself? How have you been?"

{魚} So she hadn’t been imagining things and mistaking some random guy for Kureno… When the male stepped closer to her, Uo couldn’t help but relax a bit more, her smile becoming more at ease and casual, slipping a hand into the pocket of her skirt as she turned to face him more.

“Nah, I was just headin’ home, is all. But I can totally wait to do that. We can catch up’r somethin’,” she told the man with a light shake of her head. “I’ve been good. Yer lookin’ good yerself,” the blond added before she knew what she was really saying. Slightly embarrassed, Uo turned her head, a small blush creeping onto her cheeks.

“A-anyway. How’ve you been, Kureno?” the yankee asked, stepping closer to the Sohma slightly. It was hard for her to not stay as close to him as she could; it was as though there were magnets in them and Uo’s just couldn’t help but gravitate toward him. Not that was she complaining, of course.

Kureno winced, but his hand never left its place around Akito's wrist in its firm but gentle hold. It would have been easy to give into panic- indeed, his heart was thrumming painfully in his throat. But that was simply a slip he could not afford, so instead he took in his raging god and the zodiac member he was trying to harm.

"Akito, you need to calm down, this will only result in-" Before he could finish the sentence, he noticed the blood pooling against Akito's skin. Momiji? It took a moment for Kureno to reconcile the fact that the usually chipper rabbit was actively injuring their god; the moment he did, he gently grabbed Momiji's hand with his other and attempted to separate the two. "Momiji, you need to stop this at once."

He hadn't been gone for very long; he'd been out for longer with little incident. But the sounds of conflict were unmistakable from the moment he approached the door to Akito's room. His eyelids flew open, heart jumping into his throat as he realized that something was certainly amiss. 

"Akito-" The name left his lips before he even saw what was wrong, but once he did his worry melted neatly into panic. He stepped forward into the room without thinking and wrapped his hand around the god's wrist. The contact wasn't entirely unnatural, but he was singularly focused on trying to release Akito's grip from Momiji's neck. "What happened? You need to let go."

Akito had never been in such a bad mood as he was in that moment, the anger was almost overwhelming, he trembled breaking tables and anything he could really. Then he heard someone walking down the hall, he swung open the door grabbing them by their throat and pulling them in.

Chapter 123

Kureno mirrored her, standing stock still and taking her in, wide-eyed and lips slightly parted. It was one thing to see her, pain written in her eyes as she called for him on stage- but to see her in person, to remember the way his stomach flipped and his heart beat a little faster was something entirely different. 

And not entirely unwelcome.

The smile that had slipped a little returned, only a little sheepish. "Ah, yeah. It's me." He resisted the urge to rub the back of his neck or otherwise fidget. His arms remained at his sides, posture as relaxed as he could manage it. Any vestige of distance or sadness fled from his expression, and he took a hesitant step forward.

"Yes, I suppose it has been a while. I'm- not keeping you from anything, am?" He wasn't sure what he'd wanted in coming down to see her. Perhaps to give her closure, tell her once and for all to forget about him and look forward to a brighter future.

But as he saw the smile tug at her lips, he knew it was a lost cause.

"I hope you've been well since we last met."

{魚} Two and a half weeks… It felt like longer to the yankee, but that was all that had passed since the performance her class had put on. Thankfully, Tohru and the crazy events of graduation had distracted Uo well enough that what she had said in the play didn’t constantly bombard her. Sometimes she would simply scoff to herself at how dumb she must have sounded, shouting loudly for some guy to see her and how she wanted to see him again. Man, she must have sounded really stupid…

But time had passed and not once had Uo seen Kureno during her shifts at work. Maybe it was for the best, but truth be told, she still really wanted to see him… But she could never find him, so she simply went about her days, going to school and doing her best to not jump out of her seat and race toward the small cafe they had first eaten lunch together.

School let out for the day and Uo let out a heavy exhale. Another day past without seeing Kureno… It sucked, but she was growing used to it, unfortunately. However, the one day she was beginning to stop hoping to see him was of course going to be the day she saw him.

Having said good bye to Tohru and Hana, heading home to deal with her alcoholic of a damn father, Uo stopped in her tracks when she suddenly saw the man she had been dying to see since her school play. Grey-green eyes widened with surprise and the blond opened her mouth to say something- anything- but nothing brilliant came out. Instead, Uo just stood there, looking stunned and her mouth gaping like a fish.

“It’s you…” she finally managed to breath out, her tone both in disbelief and happiness. A small grin tugged at Uo’s lips. “Been a while, huh…?”

Business as Usual | hatorisohmadragon

It was quiet in the Sohma compound, and Kureno appreciated it. Not necessarily the silence but the calm- though he would be hard-pressed to admit that anything was ever amiss here, it was striking difference that the past few days had gone by with no incident and little tension.  The departure from the turmoil of recent months did not go unnoticed, and as he made his way down the hall a distant, removed sort of smile was balanced on Kureno's lips.

He made his way down the short distance that separated his room from Hatori's office, a box of supplies in his hand that he'd agreed to deliver. He kept it as steady as possible, though he suspected that nothing delicate lay inside. Otherwise Hatori would have most likely gone out and picked it up himself.

It occurred to Kureno that he hadn't seen much of the doctor lately. That wasn't unusual in and of itself, but outside of Akito he was, perhaps, the only family member- the only person, really- that Kureno had any sort of contact with on a regular basis. Even if it was only indirectly at best. 

He would have wondered at that, but he realized that even his brief, languid thoughts had been enough to distract him from the fact that he was lingering outside the door of the doctor's office. Kureno huffed a chuckle at his own expense before knocking and opening the door just enough to peek in.

"Ah, Hatori? I have your-" He motioned to the box in his hand.

By Chance | yukiisohma

It wasn't the first time that Kureno had vaguely thought it might do him well to heed the advice of paying attention to his actions, and it most likely wouldn't be the last. Still, it probably would have been best to give a wide berth to the building he'd unwittingly wandered towards during the limited time he had outside. The high school was dangerous ground, after all- since there was a chance he might bump into her. 

That could have been exactly what his subconscious mind desired- in fact probably was. It had been force of habit to lose himself in the glimmer of freedom, allow the stolen moments of contentment to distract him of the very real fact that he wasn't paying an iota of attention to where he was actually going. The sight of the building now, though, made him freeze, and his expression fell in vague self-exasperation.

Of course, he thought, allowing familiar languid numbness drive away the vestiges of annoyance. I should... probably turn around, then. Especially given the fact that students were milling, no doubt finished for the day. Lingering was not really an option.

He paused for a moment, gathering his thoughts, before he turned to walk away. Better- easier- to strive for uneventfulness than anything else. No matter the disappointment that flared and died in his chest.

Then again, uneventfulness wasn't exactly the Sohma way. Kureno still when he realized that he was gaining on a familiar figure- or, at least, familiar enough to warrant him to pause and call out before he realized just what, exactly, he was doing.

"-Yuki?"

Come and see me, damn it! 

Usually, the moments of the day that were not spent doing what need to be done were strictly consumed with matters of the Sohma family, of the Jyuunishi. But in the two and half weeks since New Year's, he was occupied in a completely different fashion, and for the life of him he had no idea what to do. All he understood for certain was he could not get Arisa Uotani out of his mind.

Which was probably a very bad thing, but even now he had the DVD of her school performance hidden among his things. Reminding him that however brief their encounter, it had seemingly affected her just as much as himself. He'd assumed that was impossible- in the true way of people, she'd simply forget and move on to happier things.

But neither of them had. And though he didn't know how or why he had gotten himself there, two and a half weeks later found him standing outside the gates of the high school, telling himself just how selfish and idiotic and dangerous this non-plan was. 

This is ridiculous. It'd be kinder to let her forget. It would be, he was sure of that. The best course of action would simply to be abandon this and go home, leave everything as it should be-

-When Kureno caught sight of a flash of blonde hair and strikingly familiar profile, any thought of running away left him. A brief smile flickered across his lips without his consent, and he let it linger there silently.

[[ Ahaha, I'm actually writing it up now xD I'm finally basically done with real-life work and totally itching to write :3 ]]

//Whooo! Take your time with the starter :) I have the patience of like, ten saints lol (that and I���m being a tool and watching anime all the time lol)

Ooooh, this is gonna be fun! :D

[kureno-sohma]

[[ :'D yay! I can, that's no problem! 

Me too :3 Ahaha nice xD That's where the beauty that is multiple timelines comes in ;D That way the rp-verse is fun and completely stress free~ ]]

//Aww yiss :D Now, the question is… who’ll make the starter? xD

Eeeeee, I’m so excited for this! While you were off doing your own real life thing, me and my friend made this whole thing for Uo and her womanizer muse xD NOW I HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN WHICH GUY SHE SHOULD GET WITH OMFG xD

Naaaah~ Each thread is separate lol So no worries of cheating lol

[kureno-sohma]

[[ I did too until I got to that in my reread xD Yeah, basically! And no worries, we'll totally find a rhythm <3 We will totally get to that point- after a while we can totally play through the end of the manga and beyond, that'd be really awesome! I'd love that. ]]

//Oh gosh, I’d forgotten about the Sorta Cinderella DVD thing! xD Right, right, right… Uo had exclaimed during the play something about seeing the one you love and then shouted that she wanted to see Kureno, right? God, that’ll be embarrassing for Uo to talk about! xD I haven’t read the manga in ages, so forgive me if my Uo is OOC with your Kureno lol But yes! I like that idea! And we can eventually get to the part in the end of the manga where Uo is getting ready to move in with him, right? And by right, I mean, that’s what happens? lol

[kureno-sohma]

[[ That's fine! We can totally build up to post-manga, that could work. I'm actually rereading the manga at the moment so I can try to get as good a grasp as possible on Kureno since I've been gone for so long xD Fluff is good! I can always roll with fluff! 

No worries with that xD I'm wondering if it should be after he gets the DVD? It would give us a little bit of a jumping-off point. ]]

//Gosh, I don’t have anything in specific xD I mean, I DO have an idea, but it’d be set roughly after the manga, and I honestly don’t remember much between Kureno and Uo enough to stay IC for that idea lol But I really wanna do something fluffy, so maybe we can do something based around the time where Kureno and Uo do like each other and stuff?

…Wow, that sounded so fucking vague xD;;

[kureno-sohma]

[[ xD I'm just finishing up the last of this semester's assignments, and I was planning on trying to get to a few starters tonight. I wouldn't mind whipping something up if you had anything specific in mind! ]]
