[b]Toma Tanaka - Warakuma Highschool Hallways[/b]

Upon hearing that it was Aiko's younger brother who was missing, Toma's brow furrowed with concern. 

Aiko continued mumbling to himself, falling into his own thoughts. Toma's frown deepened as it seemed that Aiko was more concerned for himself than his brother. The taller boy opened his mouth to say something, but was cut off by Aiko, who appeared to have figured out where his brother might be. The boy took off at a dead sprint, leaving Toma and the girl behind. Toma clicked his tongue as his eyes followed the other boy's receding figure. 

An unfamiliar voice spoke, commenting on Aiko's backwards priorities. Toma turned to face the new boy as he continued, suggesting that there may be more to the disappearance. 

To this, Toma's frown morphed into a scowl. He was confused, and that angered him. Obviously, considering how panicked Aiko seemed, his brother's disappearance wasn't normal -- there was a real chance that something was wrong. That couldn't be dismissed.

Add onto that the fact that Aiko seemed to only want to find his brother so that he himself wouldn't get into trouble. Toma had to make a conscious effort to beat back the flare of anger that cropped up inside him.

It wasn't a certainty -- maybe Aiko had just poorly chosen his words in his panic. Maybe he was just one of those types that didn't like to make his affection for his siblings obvious, more like a tough-love kind of person.

Toma wanted answers. He wanted to understand the situation. And that wouldn't happen if he continued to stand around analyzing the little information he had.

Running a hand through his hair, he softened his expression. He looked from the boy, who had introduced himself as Kami, to the younger girl. 

"I'm Tanaka Toma," he said quickly and with a slight bow. "I'm sorry we had to meet like this, but I promise I'll make it up. To both of you." He finished with a small smile and wave, before turning on his heels and bolting after Aiko. 

It took several seconds and a couple blind turns, but Toma was soon able to spot Aiko for a quick moment. It also helped that most lingering students stared in the boy's direction for a few seconds after he had passed through. He couldn't help but apologize to anyone who seemed to have been disturbed by either him or Aiko as he ran by.
