[b]Leiko Hamada: Warakuma Streets- Hamada Residence[/b]

Tanaka gave her a shaky smile as he returned her bags, Leiko's expression flickering into a brief scowl at the dead weight on her arms. Well, at least her house was only around the corner from where she stood. The young man had helped her most of the way, [i]and[/i] surprisingly enough, he held up a decent enough conversation to keep her interested, so overall, the experience hadn't been at all unpleasant.

The senior gave her a sort of mock salute (a silly gesture that made Leiko smirk slightly despite herself), before he left on his way as well. Leiko gave his retreating form a polite wave before turning the opposite direction back to her estate. What she had said regarding her parents wasn't entirely true; Leiko's father was away on business at the moment, and it would be an accomplishment if her mother [i]did[/i] notice anything at all. Still, she didn't trust that housekeeper to spot her with a boy and start making nasty, unnecessary rumours. Leiko had far more important things to do than be scolded over nothing.

Eventually, she reached her doorstep, sliding her key into the lock before stepping inside, allowing her bags to land on the wooden panelling with a soft thud. She stretched her tender arms, recalling what Saya had been nagging her about a few weeks back. [i]Drama isn't enough to keep you fit, Hama-chan! You need to start exercising more or you'll grow up fat and lazy![/i] Saya's words of 'wisdom' echoed in her head, as Leiko rubbed her forehead with a tired sigh. She wasn't at all athletic, but she supposed it wouldn't hurt to get into some kind of workout regime. Eventually.

A clattering noise in the kitchen drew Leiko's attention, her lips thinning instantly as she gathered her bags and made an impressive sprint up the stairs. She did not have the patience, nor the drive to deal with her mother right now. Entering her large bedroom swiftly, and closing the door behind without a moment's haste, Leiko propped her bags in a pile by her wardrobe before sinking down onto her feathery mattress. She was surprisingly tired after doing what could only be classified as a whole lot of nothing. Still...that boy she had just met gave 'tired' a whole new meaning. She wondered briefly why he had such trouble sleeping, but it was neither her business, nor interest to know. As long as he stepped up and started doing something about it, starting with the tea suggestion that Leiko had given him. 

Leiko rolled to her side, allowing her eyes to flicker shut for a moment as her fatigue started taking hold. Well...he certainly needed those tea leaves more than she did right now...

[i]Ring Ring! Ring Ring![/i]

"Hmm?" Leiko sounded groggy as she raised her head back from the pillow eyeing her phone grumpily as she snatched it out of her bag. "Hello? H-Hamada speaking." Her polite words fragmented into a yawn, despite her best efforts. 

"Hama-chan! You finally picked up, geez!" Saya's impatient, annoyed voice echoed from the other end of the line, causing Leiko's eyebrow to raise slightly. "I've been calling for like five minutes! Did shopping really wear you out that much?" There was a tinge of envy in Saya's tone, and just as Leiko was about to make a snappy retort regarding the matter, she was interrupted again. "Anyway, that doesn't matter right now!" Wait, something mattered [i]more[/i] than shopping to Saya? Now Leiko was interested, settling herself into a comfortable sitting position on the bed as she listened with a degree of interest. "You won't believe what happened in Archery Club today!"
