Kaori and Akatsuki should probably have met at least once or twice. Perhaps he eats where she works? Again, they're in the same school and I don't imagine it is a particularly big one so they would likely know one another exists. Or at least their face, but I don't know if there would be any further interaction? :o

That's what I was thinking, actually, that he eats there now and then and knows her that way. Honestly, being of the Arcana that he is, I pictured half his motivation being that he liked to see the girls there in uniform. I've yet to decide on that part, though. ^^;

But yeah, I figured the two of them know each other, at least as acquaintances, if not friends.
