"Your henchmen, huh? I think I'm past that phase..."

...this kid was no fun to mess with. Seriously, he barely did anything. Though he did look like he actually considered the suggestion, at least for a little bit. That would have been a riot to see. Like seriously, if she had her personal henchman she could use him as a decoy in so many schemes. Of course, she'd make sure to bail him out of trouble later. But no, he just had to be a killjoy again. For the briefest of moments, she missed her old friends. The feeling quickly passed when he handed the notepad back to her and saw what was written on it.

[u]"So, how about this?"[/u]
                                   
[color=8493ca][u][i]"...But lets say you become my [s]henchman[/s] and I'll forgive you!~"[/i][/u][/color]
                        [u][i]Friend[/i][/u]

She was quiet for a moment...before giving him an obviously even more annoyed look, though that was jut because she was momentarily confused. Well...friends? That was...new. She had never really had a guy friend before. She mostly hung out with Kohaku and the other girls in the music club at her old school. She talked with guys, sure, but given her rather openness about her preferences...she never really got to be...friends with any of them. As Kohaku put it, she'd only 'harass' the other girls. Pfft. Like she ever 'harassed' anyone. Nothing wrong with teasing your friends...and that thought just gave her a wonderful idea.

She began scribbling quickly on the notebook, her mischievous grin returning before handing him the note book again.

[color=8493ca][i][u]"Alright. You wanna be friends? Fine then. I'm Keiko Murata. Kei or Keiko will be fine. Don't care about that stupid formality stuff."[/u][/i][/color] It started out innocuous enough. A small introduction giving her name and her rather dislike of being called by her last name. [color=8493ca][i][u]"So...FRIEND,"[/u][/i][/color] the word friend was underlined and written in a few thick, bold letters to emphasize the importance of the word. [color=8493ca][i][u]"Mind doing me a faaaavour?~"[/u][/i][/color]

The way that was written only suggested trouble. The expectant, mischievous grin she was giving him was probably not helping. Friend and henchmen could very well be the same thing at this point.
