"Here you go, Kuu."
"Mroow~"
Alloisia fed Kuu his lunch. Since Hajime was gone, she took it upon herself to feed Kuu the cat. He had taken a liking to her since Hajime had left. She was rather pleased when he stroked against her leg for attention, or laid in her lap while she sat at her desk. No matter what, animals had always had a liking to her compared to humans. It was a mutual feeling she held when growing up, but that was understandable. She was wise about it now and has finally found an ability to respect people now.
Just as she stood up from feeding Kuu, the door to the office swung open by a crying Seitarou. She held her arms out and watched as Seitarou fell into them, clinging to her like a lost child. Honestly, she was used to it at this point.
"Why is everybody so mean to me!?" Sobbed the older man.
"Hey, what's wrong, Seitarou?" She asked calmly.
"I-I went, to go check on Cell 13," sniffed Seitarou through gasps of breaths, "and I-I found Building T-Three's S-S-Supervisor there. A-and, and, AND THEY YELLED AT ME! I only asked if there was a-anything they needed was all…!"
"Again…?" Alloisia sighed and stroked Seitarou's hair, knowing to just let him sob it out. "Just sit down and I'll go talk to them, okay? I have some gum in my pocket. Want some?"
"S-sure… Thank you, A-Alan…" Stuttered Seitarou as she gave him a piece of gum.
"Stay here, okay?" She said kindly before exiting the room.
Once out of there, she marched towards Cell 13 and began rolling her sleeves up. She entered, seeing Kiji arguing with Uno. Just catching a small amount of the argument was enough to set her off. She sharply looked at Rock and Nico, seeing them stiffen under her cold gaze.
"Did you two yell at Seitarou?" She asked as Uno and Kiji didn't even notice her here.
"Nope. It was them." Nico said and ratted out Uno and Kiji.
"We're innocent about it this time, we swear." Rock said, also pointing at Kiji and Uno.
"Thank you." She turned away from the two.
Not even a second later she marched right over to the two. She went ahead and punched each of their heads, causing the two to hit the ground and hold their heads in pain. An irk mark was clear as daylight on her head.
"That's for causing Seitarou to cry, AGAIN!" She said and marched towards the door, stopping and pointing right at them. "And for your information, your talk about being more handsome is pathetic. Please take your heads out of your egotistical asses and bring it to your IQ's. Oh, wait! That's six feet under the ground! Now you have something to cry about, so go sob it to your imaginary girlfriends, because we all know neither of you got any!"
Alloisia, having said what she said, stepped out of the room and slammed the door shut. Clapping her hand together as if to get the dust off of them, she walked right back to the office. Kiji and Uno sulked in the corner, holding the bright red lumps on their heads.
"So brutal…" Uno sobbed softly.
"To think she would hit me too, uhohoho…!" Sobbed Kiji.
"I've never seen Al look so angry…" Rock murmured to Nico. "I've seen him annoyed and all, but this…?"
"Yeah, she's pretty protective of everyone." Nico whispered back to him. "She told me she always beat up her neighborhood bullies who hurt her siblings…"
"Oh, I get it." Rock said. "She imagines us as her siblings. She is really strict, so it wouldn't surprise me if she even disciplined her own siblings…"
Nico nodded his head, agreeing with what Rock said.
But neither Uno or Kiji heard as they were pitying themselves from Alloisia's harshness. To be frank, the two inmates agreed that they both deserved it. Even if Alloisia went a bit too far…
.
"...Then I insulted them."
"Damn, you're as brutal as ever, eehehe!"
Today was now day three of Hajime's suspension. And, to be quite frank, Alloisia was so glad that it was Samon. If it was somebody like Mao Nimajita, the Supervisor of Building 2, she was quite confident that she would kill somebody. Alloisia explained her run in with Kiji yesterday, having to rant to somebody about it, and Samon was snickering along at her tale.
"Anyways, getting back on track." Samon coughed into his hand to wipe the smirk off of his face. "Was there any trouble with the inmates besides that?"
"Nope." Alloisia shook her head. "They've been good… Except for two newbies who began fighting in the cafeteria yesterday, but Shiro took care of it. The cafeteria can always be trusted to him if anything going on."
"I don't doubt it…" Samon said, when in reality he was flat out lying. "...So, how's it like to have your job back, eh?"
"It feels good." Alloisia said, smiling at the ground, not like he could see. "Very good…"
Samon hummed out just as they got to Cell 13. Using her key, Alloisia opened the cell for him. But when he saw how the inmates were inside, he instantly became fuming. If there was one thing Samon hated, it would be lazy inmates.
"GET UP YOU LAZY PUNKS!" He shouted at the three.
"E-easy, Samon!" Alloisia said and began blocking his way so he didn't strangle anybody. "Calm down, man! Kiji went on an angry rant on them yesterday, and it was basically my fault. I had to kick Kiji out of the Cell by one in the morning because he was literally causing them to—"
Alloisia stopped at the sound of loud footsteps. Even Samon stopped as they wondered where it was coming from. As if it was a sudden spell, the three inmates yelped in horror and scrammed out of their beds. Just as the two guards began wondering what was going on, they were suddenly shoved to either side as none other than Yamato busted through the door.
"KNOCK KNOCK, GENTLEMEN!" Greeted the noisy Japanese man. "HOW ARE YOU?! ARE YOU ALL READY FOR SOME MORNING TRAINING?!"
Yamato gazed around the room, find the inmates nowhere to be found. Samon and Alloisia just stared up at Yamato from their spots on the floor.
"Hold on, they aren't home." Yamato's voice dialed down as he turned to leave. "I must be hearing voices, then. I guess i'll go then, until next time!"
"Hey, hey, hey, hey!" Samon shot up and grabbed Yamato's shoulder to stop him. "Wait, wait, wait, wait, Yamato!"
"Inmates…" Samon pulled Nico out from his hiding spot. "Out of their cells?" He opened a closet to reveal Rock.
Holding his infamous staff, Samon exhaled and slammed the end of it against the ground. This caused Uno to fall from his hiding spot, which was the ceiling. Alloisia, back onto her feet, could only gaze at where he had been on the ceiling in confusion.
"You know that's not possible, Yamato." Samon said to the other male. "This is Nanba Prison, after all."
"The hell did he get up there…?" Alloisia wondered to herself in shock.
"Oh! There you are, guys!" Happily exclaimed Yamato as he marched closer to the three. "Let's move onto the training course, shall we?!"
"Don't make us, I'm begging you!" Uno exclaimed desperately. "I get so sore the next day, don't make me do it!"
"Exercising is supposed to be leisurely!" Exclaimed Rock while Nico trembled behind the two under a blanket.
"What type of exercises is Yamato making them do…?" Samon asked.
"Deathly brutal ones…" Alloisia said darkly, paling herself at the thought of exercising.
"If it's coming from you then it must be human torture!" Samon exclaimed, shocked by her claim.
"No, not really." Replied a voice from behind them.
Startled, they both whirled around to see the familiar masked face of Tsukumo, or inmate No.99. Alloisia relaxed at the sight of him while Samon was still stiff as a board.
"WHO THE HELL'RE YOU!?" Samon yelled at him.
"My name is Tsukumo, but my designated number is 99." Said the supposed 'ninja'.
"No.99 loves to exercise, so he's always with me at this time of day." Explained Yamato. "He's very passionate about exercising, it's fantastic!"
"A Japanese man must train constantly!" Said Tsukumo while nodding. "Yamato's exercising routine is perfect for my training!"
"Here they go again, the Japanese freaks…" Muttered Uno.
Samon paled at hearing them say that, astonished they were so serious about it. He looked at Alloisia to see her standing right behind him, clearly not wanting to join their training.
"I like exercising, I really do, but not when it comes to Yamato…" She said softly so only Samon heard. "I like Yamato and all, great guy really, but he terrifies the shit outta me…"
"Oh, come now, Alan! You're wonderful when it comes to training! Nothing can reach your limits!" Complimented Yamato, trying to get her to join.
"Nobody can humanly reach his limits because he doesn't physically give himself any." Samon stated bluntly as she hid behind him. "Nicci will physically train until he literally drops. By then, he has to be taken to the medics for making himself go unconcious. He won't be joining your training."
"THANK YOU!" She exclaimed, still clinging onto Samon.
"Oh, fine! But next time you will be joining us, Alan!" Declared Yamato. "We'll turn up the heat of it just for you to feel the burn of training hard!"
"PLEASE DON'T!" Alloisia and the four inmates yelled in horror.
"Hey, is everything okay in here?" Seitarou popped his head in. "I heard loud yelling, is everybody okay?"
"By the why, do any of you guys heard of how Jyugo's condition is?" Asked Tsukumo.
"I'm afraid we have…" Uno said, speaking in a heavy tone. "I'm afraid he came down with a terrible case of 'idiopathic-raw-oyster-tremer-cell syndrome.'"
"That sounds quite serious." Tsukumo said.
'HE'S BUYING THAT BULLSHIT?!' Alloisia screamed in her head in shock at his idiocy.
"The doctors tried everything they can do but in the end…" Nico trailed off, his voice beginning to shake.
"Don't tell me he…!" Tsukumo's eyes went wide in shock.
"Don't sugar coat it…" Uno whimpered, as if prepared to sob.
"He's dead…" Whispered Rock.
"Such a tragic loss…!" Sniffled Nico.
"Let us spend this day in mourning…" Spoke Uno.
"Jyugo…! No…!" Tsukumo tried not to cry.
"Well, even training can wait for some things…" Yamato said, clasping his hands together in prayer.
"Our condolences…" Seitarou said, doing the same.
"You…" Alloisia fumed and punched Uno, Nico, and Rock in the head. "...JERKS!"
They all cried out and held their heads in pain. Alloisia was utterly fuming at this point. She understands that they want to get out of training, but they could've used a better method! She never likes it when people joke about deaths, especially ones that aren't even true!
"Don't fuckin' make lies like that, you pieces of shit!" She yelled at them, her voice drawing out a strange type of city/italian accent. "There's nothin' I hate more than lies like that, you hear me?!" She then pointed at the others except Samon. "And you three! Don't believe every effin' word that comes outta their mouths, got it? Jyugo's still in a coma recoverin' just fine, okay? He ain't dead."
"Oh, that's relieving." Tsukumo said, now calming down and turning back to normal.
"And you three…!" She turned to them and grabbed them all by the back of their collars, beginning to drag them away. "I ain't done with you yet. Think of this trainin' as punishment for pissin' me off!"
"Let us go! We're sorry, okay?!" Begged Uno as he began to try and struggle against her, now becoming irritated by her. "What the hell's with that accent anyways?! It's like you're entirely a different person!"
"Blame my mutha…" Alloisia muttered, thinking about how her italian mother talks.
"What, this is just how I talk!" She would exclaim every time Alloisia pointed it out. "Everybody in the family talks like this, al'ight. My mutha always talked like this, your aunt always talks like this, y—hey. What'da gigglin' for?... So what if my 'talk' sounds like 'chalk!' *sigh* Child of mine... Just you watch, the olda you get, the more your Italian side will show, capisce?"
"Oh, splendid!" Exclaimed Yamato from behind her, snapping her out of her thoughts. "Good to know we're all joining! Let's start off with the usual push ups, sit ups, then running, huh? Then we can go straight for the balance beams, ah ha ha ha!"
'I can't believe I got myself into this…' Alloisia murmured in her thoughts. 'I am not prepared for "the burn"… My hands have already had enough of that. I'm not joining, but these bastards are…'
