[b]Akira Kirigakure // Warakuma Shopping Complex[/b] Tuesday, April 14th, 2015 [color=007236][b]"Quite the story teller. Have you ever thought of a career in Hollywood?"[/b][/color] he teased with a smirk as he took another swig of his coke. As Rokoru sat up, he asked if anyone of them were hungry but Akira remained silent, giving him his answer. [color=007236][b]"If he's paying, you should just attack his wallet and spoil yourself. With as much as you complained about him before, it's all fair game, yeah?"[/b][/color] he grinned at Mika before focusing his attention elsewhere. As Rokoru got up and started walking away, he said something to Akira but he choose to ignore him. Rokoru soon stomped off and Akira found himself alone with Mika. Turning towards her, [color=007236][b]"Now then, let's 'correct' a few things."[/b][/color] --- Monday, April 8th, 2013 After School As the group of third years continued their little shame game with Akira, Rokoru was practically ignored. Apparently he wasn't significant enough to be included in the conversation and that didn't sit well with him, the look on his face showed that. To top it off, he was still a little irked at Akira's response from a moment ago. Who does he think he is? Was probably running through his mind, no one would blame if that was true. But whatever was going through Rokoru's mind, he kept silent, for now anyway. Though, one of them managed to slip from his head and out in the open. [color=9e0b0f][b]"He probably got some kind of weird bow that’s making him better." [/b][/color]He said to no one particular. While they ignored him before, both of the Seniors attention were noticing him now. The taller one, Banri, broke out in a grin. [color=f7976a][b]"My thoughts exactly,"[/b][/color] He looked at Rokoru with a grin as Rokoru finally realized he said it out loud. After remaining silent throughout this exchange, Akira finally spoke out. [color=007236][b]"Don't be ridiculous. Anyone with the tiniest bit of [i]skill[/i] will be able to do as much."[/b][/color] He denied bluntly, not intending to sound rude but just admitting what he believed to be the truth. If you worked hard enough at something, anyone would be able to do it. While it was clear he had a real natural talent for Archery, he didn't seem himself as anything special. To Akira, he simply worked harder than the others and his hard worked paid off. Though, he always feels that he could do better. Unintended as it may have been, the seniors were clearly pissed, their pride having been damaged. Just as they were about to resort to getting physical, Rokoru stepped in, also sounding peeved. "If you're so sure of yourself, let's swap bows and see how you do." Handing his bow to Akira. Accepting his challenge, him and Rokoru switched bows. Rokoru took 3 shots, 2 bulls-eyes and one that came close. With that display the seniors diginity was restored and they were back to their cocky selfs, now acting sure that Akira will now fail. Akira pulled the bow back and took aim. What would ensue was 3 perfect bulls-eye, efficient like a machine. Akira then lowered the bow and showed no emotion, not even elation as one would feel upon so a feat. [color=007236][b]"See?"[/b][/color] he said simply as the others stared in disbelief. Before anything was said, the clubs adviser called Akira over to talk to him regarding the club. Putting the bow down, he walked over and began talking to the teacher. When he came back, his bow was slightly damaged and the string was snapped off. The seniors still seemed a bit despirited while Rokoru.....was gone.
