Tourney Arc

[Shukuen]

Fuu sat down and read her menu, as Leets just looked around, worried someone might recognize him from the commotion earlier today.

[Bean Bandit]

Miyuki sighed a little as she looked at her menu. She had come this close to running away when Raibou-san had arrived. She still felt horribly...ashamed somehow. The only thing that had stopped her was Olguin's assertion that she was 'Ryoko', her own little sister.

She let out a tiny smile. He always helped her...and looked out for her.

Amidst the getting lost, fighting with her mother, and the loss of her sword, and now this...Olguin was a big bright spot...

Meanwhile...

"DAMNIT!!! I HATE LONDON STREETS!!!"

Oh yeah... he made it out of the hospital after all...

"Tourney's over for the day... can't find Olg-chan... can't rave with a broken arm... and there's no chance in hell I'm going to sit bored in my hotel room..." he muttered as he walked down a street...

This time, he's wearing a black pleather halter, blue jeans, a red headband, and her combat boots... along with a hard red cast for her broken arm...

And, a car splashes water all over him...

"I HATE LONDON STREETS!!!"

[Asrana]

Catherine smiled a bit, her eyes wandering over to the customers she had just left. They were one of the few groups there.

She waited by the window to the kitchen, noone needed anything...she could relax for a moment.

[Shukuen]

Fuu stared at the little boy she had befriended earlier, watching him devour his food with the savagery of a ravenous beast. "You sink his parents never feed him," she muttered, not yet knowing of his story.

"Are you feeling any better Ryoko?" Olguin tentatively asked in Japanese, looking at Miyuki worriedly. He had hoped that her favorite food, hamburgers, would've cheered her up somewhat by now.

Nothing doing, it seemed.

Breathing a sigh of regret, he waited until the boy finally took a pause to breath before continuing in English.

"So, considering my offer? Or are you just trying to eat me out of my paycheck?" He finished with a small smile.

[Bean Bandit]

Miyuki ate slowly, nearly listlessly as she watched what went on. She looked up at Olguin and was touched by the concern she saw there, but couldn't shake off her depression.

As he went back to talking to the others, she sighed and looked up at him.

"Gomen Nasai," she murmured, under her breath.

[Shukuen]

Leets looked up as he finished chugging his drink. Putting down his cup, he considered Olguin for a moment. "I just have one question," Leets finally said, "Can... can you help find my past? That's all I really want right now."

[Anonymous]

"Hmm...I'll tell you something from my own personal experiences...the past tends to have things that can hurt you." Olguin took a sip of his tea.

Putting his own cup down, he continued. "If you're willing to face the possibility of being hurt, I'll offer you as much aid as you need to discover your past."

[Shukuen]

"It can't be any worse than not knowing anything at all," Leets muttered, then nodded in agreement to the conditions.

"Raibou-san, what are you planning to do after the tournament is over?" Olguin idly asked, turning back to small talk now that formal affairs were done with.

[Shukuen]

"Me? Well if ah recall correctly, ah'm a part of this Cor as well," Fuu shrugged, "Some girl named Rei Ayunami hired myself and some ahser people."

[Anonymous]

Well, seems the tournament was a front for hiring better fighters. Albeit they should've gone about it a bit more honestly. Olguin thought, a slight frown on his face.

His expression quickly changed into a friendly smile.

"Well, it's nice to know someone else in that organization. Where are you going to be stationed?" He curiously asked.

[Shukuen]

"There are some problems in China," Fuu said calmly, sipping her tea, "So we're being sent there first."

Outside the sun began to set....
