Kiyoko gave a small wave at Kerr and Anisa. She let on a soft smile and then looked at her feet again.
"What's this I heard about a bully?" her sibling asks.
"I..." Kiyoko didn't look up. "Don't worry about it, An-chan. I can look after myself. I'm not too confident in it, but..."
She glanced up at him.
"Your presence makes it better," she assured. "I'll be fine."
Kiyoko stepped back and held up her key chain, her expression was obvious joy.
"Thank you for the gift, An-chan!"

Though her eyes were glazed over like a person who was in deep thought, she was still able to notice Lane looking back at her and smiling. Why is he...doing that...? I don't understand... Wait... is it because I'm still blushing?!
The girl put her free hand to her face, and sure enough, it felt warm to her palm. Upon realizing this fact, the burning sensation flushed back into her face from embarrassment. Continuing on their way to the café, her feet occasionally tripped over themselves, causing her to slightly stumble.
Once they entered the building, Asuka shuffled behind her escort and slid into the booth. Settling in, she put her elbows on the table, held her hands together, and slammed her face into them. A heavy sigh escaped between her covering as her figure slumped down in exhaustion. When asked what she would like, a whisper said,
"Just a small, hot, sweet tea and a cranberry muffin, if you please."

~School Grounds~
An-chan noticed Kiyoko's nervousness as looked back at his escorts and said, "This is Kerr" gesturing to the butler, "and she is Anisa."
         The two bowed toward Kiyoko as they said, "Kiyo-sama, its a pleasure to meet you."
An-chan then turned back to Kiyoko with a smile as he said, "Don't worry they're nice people. Though Kerr is a bit stoic, and Anisa can be a bit strange at times, but still I know you'll get along with them."
           He then concernly asks, "What's this I heard about a bully?"

"We'll get to be playmates again?" Kiyoko asked softly.
Her older brother gently placed her on the ground once more. She rubbed her wetted eyes with her sleeve.
"How has school been?" he asked. "I've heard from the principal you were placed into the advanced class."
"Advanced?" Kiyoko pondered the word. "Well, they certainly don't act the part. There's a bully and half the class skips and..."
Her eyes drifted to her kin's escorts. She suddenly got shyer, looking at her shoes and tugging her brother's coat.

~Student village~
Lane continued to lead Asuka smiling as he glanced back to see her bright red face. As the two drew closer to the café he thought to himself, 'I really am in love with Asuka after all.'
-
Soon the two reached a quite café hidden within the clutter shops & stands of the student village as the sound of people grew louder & louder in the direction of the main gate. The two quietly entered the mostly empty café as a pretty waitress dressed in a green maid's dress greeted them & quickly lead them into an empty booth in the back. The waitress then asked, "What would you like?"
         Lane answered saying, "A coffee."
The waitress nodded & then turned to Asuka.

~School Grounds~
An-chan held Kiyoko tighter as he attempted to comfort her as he said, "I won't leave you ever again, Kiyo-chan. Your Onii-chan is here to stay & nothing father or any else does will ever get between us again." After a few moments of carrying Kiyoko quietly in his arms he put her down. He then asks, "How has class been? I've heard from he principal you were placed into the advanced class."

Kiyoko loosely wrapped her arms around her older brother. She trembled in his embrace.
"...you left me, An-chan," Kiyoko murmured in response. "You left me to deal with the nightmares on my own..."
She pressed herself closer, gripping the cloth of his suit with small hands.
"I don't want them anymore," cried Kiyoko. "Make them stop...."

"Wha-"
Soon she was being pulled by the boy. The gentle blush then exploded into a blazing red as her mental sense of balance was completely thrown off. Three thoughts were repeated over and over in her head:
He was waiting...for me?!
He's getting a drink with me?!
HE'S HOLDING MY HAND?!
A part of her wanted to object and pull her hand away, and yet another part was fine with just getting dragged around like this. Having her hand held like that was...nostalgic. It brought back warm memories, calming her inner self. This...isn't that bad...
A storm of butterflies rampaged in her stomach all while she walked with Lane. Though it didn't burn like before, her cheeks were still a lively red. She was oblivious to that and the faintest smile that shone on her face. To revel in this happy nostalgia...it can continue for a little while.

~Outside, in front of main dorm~
Lane answers, "Good morning Asuka, lets go get that drink. I've been waiting for you after all." He smirks at her as he walks to Asuka and gently takes her hand. "I know this nice café that shouldn't be too busy yet." he says as begins to lead Asuka toward the student village.

~School grounds~
Suddenly Kiyoko is lifted into the air in warm hug as Kita exclaims, "Imouto-chan!!!" He begins to twirling with join with Kiyoko in his arms after a few spins he stops and says, "I've missed you so much, Imouto." He nestles his the side of his head on hers as he closes his eyes.

His two attendants stare at the two unsure what to do.

---
A certain masked spy watches Kita and Kiyoko hidden inside the tall oak tree with the broken branch. They comment to themselves, "I need to inform Kami-sama."
---

All the while more and more people arrive at the school and slowly make their way inside as the 3SD watch the main gate and quietly patrol the school grounds. But Annette and Seth are nowhere to be seen.

====

Kiyoko wandered aimlessly, alone and cautious. She hadn't a thing to do. She left the dorms and found herself walking around the school without actually going inside the main building. Perhaps she was looking for a familiar face. Perhaps she was avoiding a familiar face. Speaking of familiar faces...
Kiyoko dug through her panda head shaped purse and pulled out her brother's letter to her, in the same condition it was sent. She read over it a few times while rubbing its key chain companion, who was comfortably hanging from the zipper. It was then that she bumped into a taller somebody. Kiyoko jumped three feet back and almost fell to her knees, but instead bent forward bowing.
"I-I'm sorry," she squeaked. "I didn't mean to..."
"...vening, Kita-sama."
Kiyoko's words had begun to trail off when she heard "Kita." She slowly lifted herself to meet the one she had accidentally encountered. The somebody she bumped into had striking red hair and dazzling lavender eyes--very distinct features. He was dressed up all fancy, accompanied by a maid and matching butler on either side. The letter from him to Kiyoko fluttered in the open space between them before resting on the ground.
"An-chan...?" she asked softly, gripping the key chain so hard her knuckles turned white.

Each step heavy, the girl shlumped down the hallway toward the stairs. Her eyelids hung low, and they only kept getting lower. It got to the point where she was walking with closed eyes. She began to lean a forward a bit, causing her to reawake and catch herself before she hit the floor asleep. The fact that she almost fell asleep and fell over was enough to wake her up some more. Looking around to see if anyone saw that embarrassing bit (there wasn't), Asuka continued to walk, this time more alert. Rubbing her face vigorously, she said aloud,
"I really need a drink. A hot one. Like tea. Or hot chocolate. Something. Ugh."
Parading down the stairs, she had made her way to the front doors. She heaved the door open, proceeding to walk outside. When she turned around to watch it close, she was met with a surprise: Lane.
"Um..."
A light blush came over her cheeks as she brushed her unkempt hair into neatness. I probably look like a mess... I wasn't expecting anyone to see me like this... Though she didn't want to admit to herself this, another reason her face was dusted with red was because... Well, Lane looked nice. Holding her hands behind her back and twiddling her thumbs, she spoke softly,
"Uh... Good...morning... I'm, uh... getting...a drink. Would you...?"
Becoming flustered with what she was about to ask,
"No, um, uh- Y-You're probably waiting for someone, so I-.. I'll just...go. So."

~Outside, in front of main dorm~
Lane stands in front of the dorm dressed in a black sleeves rolled up button shirt, and ripped black jeans with a stubbed belt, and grey leather belted shoes. He takes a deep breathe in an attempt to fight off his nerves as he waits for Asuka. He thinks, 'I have to ask her.... its now or never...'

~School grounds~
The tall red hair young man walks with his followed by two attendants a man dressed in a black butler uniform & a women dressed in a color inverse white-black maid uniform. He asks, "Father is coming later in the day correct?" as he looks around for a pint-sized girl with playful black hair.
           The male attendant answers, "Yes."
"She should be arriving between later afternoon or early evening, Kita-sama." finishes the female attendant.

Carmen was asleep, not in her own room though. Unless you count "The bushes outside the student village" her room. After groggily smacking her lips, the musician opened her eyes to see she was in fact lying belly down on top of a bush. The week had been a blur-mostly avoiding teachers, trying to hunt down Kiyoko, and going on 'adventures' with Ezra. It was pretty fun, but she had guilt of never contacting the bunned girl. Speaking of guilt-she never really ever got word from that mana girl either.

"*Yawn* Rushing ahead into things as usual, Carmen. Never enough time to pick up girls." Chuckling at her joke she stretched her arms out. Then she noticed something. There were streamers and decorations everywhere, along with stalls and concession stands everywhere. Oh god. The new leaf festival. sCATTER-

Kiyoko woke up, facing her wall of stuffed toys; a barrier put up to keep the monsters of her nightmares at bay. She waited a long time before rolling over to face the ceiling. She let out a heavy sigh.
"An-chan's visiting today..." she murmured.
She sat up and looked around her room. She fingered the cloth of her blanket, wondering what move to make.
The announcement blared in her room.
It was also the New Leaf Festival.
On that note, her decision was made. Kiyoko tumbled out of bed and tied her hair up into her twin buns. She slipped into a purple dress and clipped her bangs back with a panda hair clip (like Kiyoto's...heh). She looked herself over in a panda shaped mirror--the kind that snapped shut. She slipped it back into her purse and pulled out her older brother's letter to her. They were going to play together again... Opening the door, she looked up at the needle stuck in the ceiling out of habit. She hasn't played with Okamii-nii for a while. She rubbed her eyes, and looked up and down the halls.
Kiyoko set out for her adventure.

Punching bag. Pah. What a joke. Right now, silence was what she wanted, and she would find that in none other than her room. Instead of attempting to shrug him away, the girl just left.
---
Over the course of the week, Asuka kept to herself, but not so much as to arise questioning. She was able to hide this in her partaking of helping that one woman with whatever she asked. Her mouth was sealed tight as she muddled through the days with a dull look on her face. Nights were spent reading her books and taking personal notes, reviewing and fixing any errors. The occasional yawn bubbled out from her chest, but was verily ignored as she continued her late night studies. Soon, the day of the festival came, which seemed to pounce on her like a tiger. Because with the festival came her punishment- Er, date...
---
The voice of a woman's blaring over speakers was not one of the ways she wanted to wake up. Sleep weighted deep in her very core as she went against it in pushing herself up. Throwing off her pajamas, the bedhead donned a new outfit, one suited for any special occasion. Rubbing away the tired from her eyes, Asuka exited her room, wandering to where she could get something to eat. Another yawn escaped her as she rubbed her eyes once more. A good breakfast would wake her up, but where to get it was the question.

((Random Time skip ~Insert montage of charcters~ -> Setsuna & Asuka working on classroom w/Chishio, -> Seth being ordered around by staff & Annette asking him to Festival, -> Lane walking around school occasionally watching Asuka & wondering how to ask her... -> Kiyoko looking at her letter from her brother & counting down the days, -> Carmen & Ezra reminiscing about their adventure))

~Friday, morning, student housing~
The morning began like any other with the female announcer waking up the students and telling them to keep their best behavior, and most importantly to enjoy the New Leaf festival. But suddenly the Principal Veroy's voice came on:
"Greeting Students! Today marks the first day of the New Leaf Festival, not only that it also marks its third centennial ceremony. On such an occasion, it is our custom to allow those not affiliated with the school to attend and those who would normally not be welcomed as well. The reason I say this is you may see some very influential people around the school, some people most of you would not agree with. But as a student I greatly urge you to let bygones be bygones and enjoy the festival. With that said, do try not to get too out of hand and let you have a most enjoyable festival.... I almost forgot to mention, all classes are formally dismissed today and will not resume until Tuesday." the intercom shuts off.

~Main gate~
A large beutiful white limo pulls in front of the school. A chauffeur gets out from the passenger seat and quickly makes his way to the back. He opens it to reveal a tall young man with short red hair and elegantly dressed a white suit. The chauffeur then asks, "Would you me to go with you, young master?" The young man gets out as he politely says, "No, that will not be necessary." He then smiles as he looks at the  school with his large bright lavender eyes, "I wonder if my imouto will recognize me."

~edge of student village~
Seth let out a sigh before quickly catching up to Asuka. Once he near her he said, "Its okay to stop acting tough. I don't know what's upset you, but I here if you want to talk about it." He smiles at Asuka before jokingly saying, "I also make a pretty good punching bag."

She recognized the voice as Seth, which was a bit surprising to say the least. Of the three there, he was the least likely to go after her, but none-the-less, he shouldn't have. Right now wasn't the best time for her, and talking was one of many things on her not-to-do list. Priorities needed to get straightened out, and being pestered by Seth wouldn't help that in the slightest. Asuka continued on, gradually increasing the rate at which she walked as to hopefully get the message across that she wanted to be alone.

~Field~
Seth watched as Asuka ran from them. As he watched he seemed to have an idea of the situation. He got up as he looked and Setsun saying, "I'll go talk to her. Why don't you and Lane become more acquainted." He looks at Lane as says, "Stay here and talk with Setsuna a bit. You two might be seeing each other more often then you think." He then quickly chases after Asuka.
=
He manages to catch up to Asuka as she enters the Student village. Seth calls out to her, "Asuka, wait up!"

==
Lane nods and then looks at Setsuna. For some reason he feels like he's met him before, but he can't remember when. He thinks, 'Why do I have this bad feeling... Something seems off about him... I'll have to watch him closely...' After a few seconds of silence he says, "I think the Cyclops just played us. Well I'll take off first, if he asks say we talked the meadow." He begins to walk off.

Please, I INVENTED beating people to pools of blood. Carmen tuned her ears and listened to what the boy had to say. It was a pretty generous offer for someone who was just threatening her a few seconds prior. "You know I'm not gonna jump back in offense if you say 'skip school', right?" She paced to his side and looked out to the different areas of the school, you could see quite a lot from this vantage point. Man, did the teachers here even *try* to lasso kids into the actual curriculum? Well...it was like the first week of school. Things would probably get a lot more serious after the New Leaf festival.

She closed her eyes and started up her ears again, and scanned the area for any sign of kiyoko.
NO. Must be Asuka. What a little brat.
Hanging out with little boys in spandex I see? What even?
HELLOOOO LADDIEESSS. Would any of you Mademoiselles Care for a little stroll with the one and only Robby~? Yeesh, she felt sorry for whoever that kid was.
Finally her ears picked up some soft sobbing from the dorms, seems like what Kiyoko would sound like if she was crying in her sleep.

Then another ingenious idea came to mind, she could use this chump for her benefit."I'll take you up on you're offer, how about we make a journey to solve 'The Mystery of the Crying Panda'?"

After a moment's time had past, her hand clenched onto a patch of grass in a tight fist. With trembling arms, the girl pushed herself up and off the ground, looking down and hiding her face. Salty tears stained her eyes and cheeks as she tried to hide the fact she had been crying. Why is this happening? she thought to herself, I refuse to let them see me like this!
Quickly, Asuka stood up and ran a short distance before slowing her pace to a walk. Grabbing her sleeve, she wiped her face clean from the tears, biting her lip in the process. Why am I doing this? I'm just like that baby, crying like this. How did I even get to this anyways? How could I have let myself fall so far?
Her body quaked in sad sobs as she went further from the three. Her destination was her room, where she would spend most of the day recovering and working. With her gaze held down, the girl trekked down the paved path, not looking back at the three.

Setsuna finally caught up with Asuka who had just bumped into Seth.
That guy again...... There is definitely something wrong with him.....
He also noticed Lane start approaching.
Another shady figure I don't know much about.....
He stood by Asuka and waited for her to stand up, not wanting to converse with the other two.

~Field~
When the two collided Seth attempted to soften the landing by making the grass grow larger behind him as he waited for Asuka to land him, but to his surprise she took another step landing face first into the only part of the field that hadn't regrown yet... Seth looked toward Asuka as got up. He asked, "Are you okay?"
-
Lane got up and began to walk toward Asuka.

The words echoed in her head.
"I own you."
"I own you."
"I own you."
Every time it did, something more horrible just came to mind. Repressed memories kept coming back, one by one, sending the girl down a dark path. Negative emotions whirled around, overcoming her mentality and sanity. Well, a person kind enough to bring her back to reality was just about to do so.
Unaware of Seth, Asuka kept on striding, walking straight into him. The obstacle brought her back to her senses, but a touch too late. Falling on top of the boy, she tried to make a step that would catch her, but only resulted in her just throwing herself to the ground and not on top of him again. Face smothered into the dirt, she lie there motionless, an attempt at getting up unnoticed.

Setsuna realized the strange ladies power right away and didnt dare question her.
Asuka's lucky to just be let off that easy by this monster....
And when asked if he was going to chase after her he nodded and bowed to her.
This girl just keeps causing more and more problems, and besides I still have to find out what happened....
With that he chased after Asuka.

~Edge of student village~
The boom distorted suddenly turned into an almost light melody as Ezra's personality completely flipped as he let out a sigh as he said, "Thank goodness." He smiled happily at Carmen as he said, "I'm so glad I don't have to reduce you into a puddle of goop, Gita-kun. Now that's out of the way, I'm Ezra Wolff, self-appointed knight of panda-chan." He reaches into his jacket and pulls out one of the self made business cards and hands it to Carmen.

"Now that the formalities are out of the way, would you like to to ditch sch-, erm, I mean go on an adventure with me?" Ezra asks happily, "I'll even pay for everything."
