[Center][b]Ayano Wakahisa: [color=a36209]Yoshida Book Cafe'[/color][/b][/center] Ayano was rather surprised at the mild-mannered disposition the so called 'Yakuza' was showing her, whether it was to woo her or just her usual state of being flew over Ayano's head and without hesitation, sat with Jun. For other girls or people in general, sitting with another girl in a place like a cafe' would virtually mean nothing, but for her...It was more than enough to instill feelings of awkwardness inside the girl, she could swear other people were giving them the look or assumed they were dating. Her tense mood did lessen when Jun spoke of free coffee, this was her fourth one this day! Either she's going to be twitchy all day and not be able to sleep tonight, or she's going to be staying in the bathroom for a very long time. Ayano grunted at the fan club Jun mentioned and did not even dare to look at them. The poor attempt at humor...was mediocre at best, warranting a disinterested look on Ayano's face. [b][i][color=007236]"Yes...You better not be getting any ideas."[/color][/i][/b] She groaned, maybe this wasn't the best idea after all? She was starting to regret this little rendezvous with the Yakuza girl, but it would seem that even they don't stoop that low. With a sigh of relief Ayano formed a small smile on her lips, thankful that they haven't kidnapped her, despite the fact that there was no solid evidence supporting it whatsoever. [b][i][color=007236]"Well, I guess that's slightly comforting, at least it narrows down the list of possible suspects..."[/color][/i][/b] Although Ayano didn't want to think of it, one of the possible kidnappers could be some sort of hyper-perverted stalker of Chiaki's...Just imagining what kinds of things he would do to her...It'd would all fit in some sort of terrifying doujin meant for really depraved people. Another possible suspect that came to her mind was the cult...There had been cases of missing persons before Chiaki. There was that Noboru, some Harvester kid, the drama (club) queen Leiko...Could they be behind some sort of mass kidnapping? What for? All of these complex thoughts made Ayano place a palm on her head in defeat. [b][i][color=007236]"It was some time after the whole inn escapade. We were at the mall, some idol group was there and she went to go get us something to eat...She never came back."[/color][/i][/b] As she was re-telling the story to Jun, a somber mood soon took over and made Ayano melancholic just at the thought of it, it was like a ghost haunting her. She stayed there, not saying anything more, a blank look on her face. She only snapped back to reality when Jun gave her...Her phone number? Ayano wasn't sure how to feel after the entire encounter... [Center][b]Ayano Wakahisa: [color=fff200]Warakuma High[/color][/b][/center] Another day goes by with Chiaki's absence and Ayano could swear she was getting worse. There was no updates on whether or not she's still missing or they've finally found her (or her corpse). This state of mind was not the ideal one to have when midterms were coming up, she wasn't exactly confident over the prospect, but she knows she could do above average than most, and if she took the time and effort to actually do research and face a textbook for once...She might actually pass with flying colors, but when your cousin's missing and you're the last person she was seen with, it all adds to the stress of life. As the classes finished, a smell speck at the back of Ayano's mind was calling out to her...Something something club...Clubs? She wasn't in one, was she? There was a long pause as Ayano sat in thought. Then, that smell speck burst into something big. [b][i][color=007236]"Oh my god! I totally forgot!"[/color][/i][/b] without a moment's notice, she ran as fast as she could to the Anime and Manga club room, as fast her legs could carry her anyway. She would occasionally bump into someone or into the usual teacher, at which point she would stop in her tracks in order to greet them or apologize to them. After a few minutes of running around the halls like the Flash, Ayano was panting and almost out of breath from the intensity of it all. But she was there, right at the front door of the club room, she even remembered when that big guy was there, although his name had escaped her...Shrugging the minute detail off, she opened the club room to find a new face...Well, new in terms not having seen them before. She cast a glare to the boy who looked like he was looking to join. [b][i][color=007236]"Umm...Sorry if I haven't been attending recently"[/color][/i][/b] she said to the entire presence of the room, giving a slight bow to them.
