Alexei Dragunov | Tuesday, June 9 - After School

Something was amiss. Alexei couldn't exactly pin it down to anything but somehow he had a weird feeling the whole day. Both the kidnapped had joined back school today and though he had thought of going to visit them, he had thought of attending his MMA club for once. For some strange reason, Sagat didn't seem in the mood today and Inoue had to be somewhere. 

She rarely missed a chance to spar with the burly boys, so wherever she had to be must have been really important. Alexei had decided to take a day off from visiting any other clubs of his interest and decided to go to the Agriculture Club instead. He knew Harvester had convinced the Kotori to be a part of the club and it was a place where he could check on her again. This whole day had been a bit uncomfortable, perhaps it was worry of some kind eating at his psyche. Alexei wasn't sure.

Slowly, he trudged to the Agriculture room. He could make out two distinct female voices and a male boisterous one. Surely, Matt had a few followers. Seeing how he too was a foreigner. His club hadn't seen the kind of attention some others had shown. Alexei knocked lightly on the door to announce his presence.

A message from Elena.

Alexei gave it a glance and slid it back into the pocket. His stomach still rumbling faintly. Something was prying at his nerves. But checking on his benefactor came first.

"How are you, Shirohane-san?"[/b][/color] he asked politely.
