She was trying to understand what exactly he was thinking, but Ari couldn't seem to place a thought to it. Pure as white snow, the swordswoman had never experienced or thought of what Daizo was thinking in that devious mind of his. Ari simply shrugged at her fellow classmate, and went along with it. With a glance to the cameras that were scattered throughout the hallway, Ari followed Daizo, perhaps along with Anna, to wherever he was leading them. The two of them had awkwardly become somewhat of friends after the incident, and even if Daizo was leading the girls into a trap, the swordsman knew how to defend herself better than the majority, if not all, of the students in close quarters combat. The pride of being considered the revitalized samurai spirit was valued much by Ari, and she knew better than to be lax on her training. Her face turned to a light blush, like Anna's before, when Daizo had mentioned beautiful girls. She quickly coughed into her hand in an attempt to regain her composure. [color=#FFA500]"Ahem,"[/color] Ari said in the midst of a cough, and she quickly went to adjust her scarf as Ari tried to hide her embarrassment brought on by the compliment. [color=#FFA500]"S-Sorry about that. You know how the cold weather brings sickness. Yes, you can call me by my first name, Koga-kun. Is it alright if I do the same?"[/color] The swordswoman asked. Despite her rich childhood, being polite with commoners wasn't a problem for Ari. She didn't look down on them like her parents did, but Ari had to keep it a secret from them in fear of punishment. As the loud speaker went off signalling Daizo to make his way to the dean's office, Ari turned to Anna. She thought it was weird that all three of them had blonde hair and blue eyes, but the swordswoman decided it was nothing more than a coincidence. [color=#FFA500]"The fountain by the big shady tree?"[/color] Ari pondered as she considered the spot. It was shady, and once the cold weather stopped surely the sun would shine and they would all need to seek shade from the harsh light. Her thoughts quickly faded away when Ari's eyes had noticed a nearby clock striking a few minutes before she had to be in class. [color=#FFA500]"I have to go, but I'll be there, An-chan! Bye, bye!"[/color] Ari replied, sprinting off to her classroom in a rushed hurry. She quickly stopped in her tracks after realizing something, and turned her attention back to Anna and waved at the operative.

She was here early to reserve the spot, and looked around for either Daizo or Anna with her hands in the coat's pockets. Early mornings at the academy were quiet, and her wait was rather uneventful until Daizo had shown himself. [color=#FFA500]"Dai-kun! Over here!"[/color] Ari called out, and waved to him once her eyes spotted Daizo. [hr] [center][@Xikari chan], [@lant green][/center]
