"Mei-san...?" Shuurei questioned gingerly, speaking to the comatose-like figure of the girl leaning against the polished wall, a dull, faraway look in her sterling eyes. A feeling of guilt rushed through Shuurei, afraid it was because of what she said just seconds ago that was effecting the girl.

"Otou-san is picking Seiran up at 7:00 tonight..."

"Just Mei is fine..." she replied idly. Then with a a stretch of her arms and flexing of slender fingers, she smiled.

"Sorry. Just thinkin'. Tend to get carried away sometimes," Mei said lightly, not noticing the skeptical gaze Ensei was sending her, lined with slight worry.

"Well!" Mei grinned, back to her generally-nice-yet-slightly-devious-self once more. Ensei's look dissolved into a soft smile, then started walking away down the hall, right hand in pocket.

"I really need to get some sleep..." Ensei muttered, yawning openly as he headed towards his room.

At the same time Mei was muttering to Shuurei, "Jet lag... Gotta get some sleep..." Then in several swift steps, Mei had caught up with Ensei. Shuurei could just hear the conversation, blushing slightly.

"Gimme your bed," Mei had said, never faltering in her steps nor singsongy voice.

"You can get the floor," Ensei muttered, looking away, a light blush staining the tips of his ears.

"Now now..." Mei smirked, linking an arm through his, flirtatiously pushing her body against his."You know where Seiran stashes his key... And why else would he let you know if he didn't want you to use it...?"

Ensei's gulp was pretty prominent as his adam's apple bobbed. Then he took off in the opposite direction, face flaming red.

"Gomen Shuurei! I can't stay with you right now! I'll see ya..." she glanced at her watch. "...in 3 hours!" With that she took off, whistling and twirling around a key undoubtedly snagged from Ensei's pocket.

"What was that...?" Shuurei whispered to no one in particular. To her surprise a voice answered from behind her.

"Mei share a room with her sister. So she said she needed somwhere else to sleep, at least until she hacks into the school's computer."

Shuurei spun around, coming face to face with a handsome young man, wearing the Saiunkoku uniform (white). His long lemon chiffon hair was let down and fell behind him in elegant cascades, flax eyes portraying a friendly smile. Shuurei noticed the emblem that was sewn onto the forearm, no doubt the gold-encased symbol of Saiunkoku.

"You must be Shuurei-dono?" the stranger said cheerfully. "I've heard much about you. Please to meet you, I'm Shi Ryuuki."
