Kobato sat on the bench near the entrance to the circus, looking up at the tall tents with curious eyes. The contact in her right eye glinted in the sunlight as she shaded her eyes with her hand "Where is that minion of the church, taking my precious time with an-chan! How dare she" she looked at the floor, realising how short her legs are.

"Poopy vampire! Huh? Where's onii-chan?"

"Kekeke, you will never achieve the love of my other half" Kobato stuck her nose up at the little nun girl, a smug smirk across her face "You will eventually bow down to my overwhelming power and do my every command Kekeke"

Maria puffed her cheeks out and started pointing violently at the little Lolita girl "I will never bow down to a stupid head, poopy vampire! And you will never keep onii-chan away from me!" she bellowed.

A small crowd had gathered around the two girls as their argument started getting out of control and the insults became stupider

"Stupid brain!"

"nincompoop!"

"church lover!"

The small crowd reacted to the two young girls in many ways, some thought them to be adorable whilst others had concerns over their attitudes in a public place on a Saturday morning.

"I'm going to go and find Onii-chan and spend today with him!" Maria yelled, squirming through the crowd and trying to free herself of Kobato's tight grip that found its way around the little nun girls wrist at the sound of Kodaka spending time with her.

She used Maria to pull her back and push herself in front "I won't let you be with An-chan! Never, never, never! You have a sister!"

"Eugh?! She's not my sister! She's an old hag!" Maria retaliated, trying to keep up with Kobato as she ran through the crowds of people, knocking some down and disrupting the peace of the circus.


Kodaka stood by the tiger cage on his own, Yukimura had wondered off to find the couple some soda and ice-cream to keep them going before they all met up for lunch later that afternoon
"Huh...Rika?"
He looked through the cage and found the young Rika stood with a guy, watching the tigers as well and smiling, smiling like she was happy. Kodaka smiled, not wanting to interrupt his friend and her happy moment for that day, he couldn't remember the last time he saw her smile like that, especially at someone else.
She started waving at him as their eyes met.
He smiled and waved back politely before she took the arm of the guy and wonder off.

"At least she's okay" he muttered to himself, remembering the whole point of this mission was to find Rika, he knew he wasn't going to tell Yozora, she was so set on this being a club day out, no matter what she said to Sena that morning. "I wonder where Yukimura has disappeared too..."He wondered to himself "And I wonder how the others are getting on"

After another five minutes of watching the tigers he decided he should go and check on Yukimura, she hadn't mentioned wanting to be a 'Real man' all morning and he was starting to get a bit uneasy with how feminine she was actually acting.


Sena sat on a bench by the souvenir shops, her face buried deep in her arms as she sobbed to herself, muttering 'Stupid Yozora' over and over again, her hair damp from the tears and the top of her floral dress was also soggy.
She looked up and wiped her eyes, still a little teary and looking like a lost puppy.

"Sena?"

She looked up to see Yukimura watching her, her face filled with concern "Are you okay?"

Sena nodded "I'm fine"

"Was it Yozora again?"

The pretty, blond buried her face back in her arms as she started crying again

"Do you want to...maybe...come around with me and Kodaka? Until you feel better"

Sena shook her head "I don't want to intrude on you both"

Yukimura smiled a little "A true man would never leave a poor lady crying" she held out her hand "Come on, it'll be fun"
