North Gates

*walks around the perimeter of the North wing, stopping and leaning against the gates*
*coughs viciously into a tissue, small drops of blood dripping from mouth*
*wipes it away with back of hand, and wraps arms around stomach*
*closes eyes in frustration*

*walks from the school towards the gates, holding a book in hand*
*smiles and is wearing a sailor uniform with longer hair in twin braids, appearing a year older*
I hope I can find onee-sama and onii-sama soon...
*looks forward and sees Suzumi, running over and opening the gates*

*glares coldly at Shizuka, keeping silent, still gripping stomach*

*freezes slightly, feeling the edge to her stare and trembles once*
*smiles and waves at her with an expressionless face*
It's been a while, Suzumi-senpai...
*watches her clutch her stomach*
Are you... feeling well?

*eyes flicker to a reddish brown, as she approaches*
What do you think, you caged-up pigeon?
*intensity of stare grows, as eyes lose color*

*grips book to side softly and keeps the smile up*
I think... you're not well... but I wanted to make sure, and... not jump to conclusions...
*watches her with teal-colored eyes, a gust of wind passing by and pushing her left twin braid behind her shoulder*

*wears a smile*
Well I'm perfectly fine ^_^
*face twists into a sneer, smile fading*
Is that what you want me to say?
*eyes become dull*

*shakes head slowly, holding a hand out to show no threat*
N-No... you can't say that. Because then you're lying...
*watches Suzumi, lowering hand slowly back to side*

*tilts head giving a light smirk*
And what's so wrong with lying?

There's no point to it. And the... outcomes are never positive.
*stands in the same spot, reluctant to take a step back, trembling very very slightly*

If those are your aspects then...
*stands up, straightening back*
*flinches very slightly from the pain, exhaling*
*walks over to Shizu, coldly staring at her with now red tinted eyes*
Tell me. You are a human, no?

*nods once, regretting the move and words that slipped out*
Yes-... I am a human. Like Sakurai-onee-sama and Kukai-onii-sama.

And, where are Sakurai and Kukai now?
*speaks of their names in disgust*

*watches her face and clenches fingers tightly around book, furrowing eyebrows*
Sakurai-onee-sama said she was going on a two-day mission. And Kukai also went to assist her. Please do not speak their names with such resentment...

*rips the book out of her fingers, skimming through it*
Oh, really? So there's no one to protect their little precious pigeon?
*smiles, revealing fangs*

*mouth opens very slightly in shock and takes the book back, shutting it*
Why would someone have to protect me? And my name is... my name is Shi. Zu. Ka.

Why? I can answer that.
*snickers lightly, snatching at her wrist*
*digs nails into her wrist, forcing her to drop the book, and drawing blood*
*kicks the book into a rain puddle*
Now that the owners have left the caged pigeon unprotected, its possibly for say, a python to come around?
*fangs gleam in the moonlight*

*flinches in pain and gasps softly, pulling wrist away from Suzumi's reach and leaning over to pick up the book*
Suzumi-san-...

*kicks her from behind as she leans over, having her fall in the puddle as well*
*picks up the book*
Now, whats so precious about this book?
*tears the binding with hands*

*clenches fist and lunges up from the water, knee scraped against the concrete*
*reaches out and grabs the book before any permanent damage is done to it*
Please stop! This belongs to a friend of mine!

Like. I. Care.
*snatches at one of her braids, pulling on it enough to cause pain*

*winces and lets out a soft scream, shutting eyes*
Su-zu... mi-san!

See? Just like a pigeon. Helpless with their wings clipped, and struggle.
*pulls out a pair of scissors from pocket with free hand*
*taps the point end against Shizuka's head*
Now now.
*positions the scissors, appearing as though I was going to cut the entire braid off*
How much should I cut off of your braids I wonder.

*hands moves subconsciously and reaches for the scissors, grabbing one of the blades in palm to prevent the braid from being cut*
Stop it! I grew my hair out for nee-sama and nii-sama!

*peeks head up behind suzumi's shoulder*

Suuuuuuuuuuuuzumi!
