Kiyotaka Ishimaru had not quite known what he was going to do with his four troublemakers. He did know, however, that a simple detention would not do anything, and he had considered the 'lock them in a room until they reconcile' idea, but threw those aside. No, that would do no good. If he were to resort to that… well, Hinata and Oowada really had nothing do with it apart from being there.

So perhaps a few trust-building or teamwork exercises were in order.

They stopped in the gym. Kuwata checked his phone. "Dude, I've got practice in like twenty minutes, so keep it quick-"

"Kuwata-kun, you never go to practice."

Kuwata scowled.

Ishimaru surveyed them. Hinata looked a bit bored and like he was seriously regretting his decision to try and stop the fight. Ishimaru grabbed his sleeve and pulled him over. "Do you have any idea what you're doing?" Hinata asked him. His voice was blunt and a little bit rude, but given that he had tried to stop a fight, Ishimaru thought he couldn't be that bad.

"Not exactly," Ishimaru said. "But I will figure something out. Could you run and find Sayaka Maizono?"

"The idol?"

"Yes," Ishimaru said. He paused. "And perhaps Sonia Nevermind, too. I would usually contact her, but I do not keep my phone on me, as it is against school rules to have them out during class, and it would be unprofessional to pull it out and begin texting at this moment."

"Alright," Hinata said. He slipped out of the gym. Souda frowned. Oowada and Kuwata hadn't stopped scowling.

"Why does he get to leave?" Kuwata asked.

"He is doing a favor for me," Ishimaru said. He crossed his arms and looked over them again. Oowada looked bored and a bit angry. Kuwata looked like he was about to storm out no matter what. Souda looked as though he was possibly about to cry. "I believe that the best way to fix your problem with each other is to get each other to trust one another again."

"Trust him he abandoned me!" Souda snapped. His lower lip wobbled frighteningly.

"But you did trust him at one point?"

Souda muttered something that Ishimaru took as a yes. Ishimaru turned to Kuwata.

"And I am aware of the relationship that you two had, and given his teeth, you must have certainly trusted him."

Kuwata blinked a few times. "I. Uh. Maybe."

"So all you need to do is trust one another again," Ishimaru concluded. Oowada snorted, and Ishimaru was afraid that he would spit on the nice clean gym floor, but he just shook his head.

"So what the hell am I doing here?"

"You were involved," Ishimaru said after a brief pause. "You may help me supervise."

Oowada muttered a little, but he didn't try to leave, which Ishimaru had thought might happen. He just turned to Kuwata and Souda, who were eying each other. Each had a strange look on their face.

"First. The most basic. A trust fall," Ishimaru said. "It is a simple thing. Oowada, come here."

"You want me to catch you?"

"No," Ishimaru said. "I need to keep an eye on them. I cannot have my eyes closed at all. I will catch you."

"What, don't you trust me?"

Ishimaru didn't answer.

Oowada turned, closed his eyes, and fell. Ishimaru caught him, staggered a little at the weight, and tried to nudge him back up. Oowada stopped, and Ishimaru was forced to crouch down and lower him the rest of the way to the ground. Oowada stayed there with his eyes closed, and Ishimaru stared and frowned at him for a good thirty seconds before turning back to the others.

"Kuwata-kun, you fall first," he said after one look at Souda. Kuwata sighed and ran a hand through his hair.

"After this, can I leave?"

"After this, we have many other fun trust-building exercises!"

"How many?"

Ishimaru thought for a bit. "Three. This is number one of three."

"Fine," Kuwata said. He turned his back to Souda, who stood frozen. "You better not drop me."

To Souda's credit, he didn't drop Kuwata. Kuwata was, however, standing far too close to Souda, and Souda was unprepared for the weight, and both of them fell on the ground just as Sayaka Maizono sneaked into the room. She smiled prettily at Ishimaru and stood at the edge of the gym, waiting. Ishimaru decided that he would wait to sneak to her until later, and nudged Oowada with his foot. Oowada finally, grumpily, got up.

"Take Maizono-kun out of here," he said. "I want to wait for the last exercise for her."

"Fine," Oowada said. By the time Souda and Kuwata untangled themselves from each other, both Oowada and Maizono were gone.

"Souda-kun, it is your turn," Ishimaru said. Souda gave Kuwata a nervous look.

"Can I have detention instead?"

"No."

Kuwata stood behind Souda, rolling his eyes and cocking his mouth in a way that spoke of insolence. Ishimaru frowned at him, and Souda stood completely still. Ishimaru could see him try and build himself up to fall backward, but every time it seemed like he was going to do it, he snapped straight back up again. Oowada poked his head in.

"You ready for them yet?"

Ishimaru shook his head and pointed at Souda. Oowada rolled his eyes, strode over to Souda and Kuwata, and shoved Souda into Kuwata's arms. Kuwata caught him under the arms and lifted him back up.

"There. That wasn't too bad, was it?" Oowada asked. He sighed and put a hand on Kuwata's head. It looked companionable, but Kuwata looked a bit afraid, and Ishimaru was slightly unsure what was going on. "Also, we've got another one in there. Kirigiri. She's… I don't really know what she's doing there, but she slipped in right after Mai- the first one, and I haven't been able to get her to leave. So she's here, too."

"Maizono's here?" Kuwata asked. Souda looked as though he was going to throw himself on the floor. "Cool, so, can we just skip the other two, because I wanted to talk to her about another date or something."

"Kuwata-kun, I don't believe right now is the time to plan your dates," Ishimaru said. Kuwata stopped mid-sentence and looked at Souda. Souda was hiding in his beanie. Kuwata made an 'o' with his mouth and nodded.

"Right. Gotcha."

Hinata hurried in then, looking disheveled. "Bad news. Tanaka's hamsters are here. And they're wreaking more havoc than I thought hamsters could. Kirigiri keeps looking at Maizono and Maizono says that she wishes that Kirigiri would just 'talk to her.' Sonia was here, but she's gone. I was distracted by the hamsters. Didn't see her leave. Also, Enoshima's in the hallway, cackling to herself."

"Tanaka's hamsters?" Souda wailed from his beanie. Ishimaru exchanged a look with Oowada and nodded, straightening himself.

"Alright," he said. "I believe this is a crises that calls for a Super High School Hall Monitor."

I'm… not quite sure… how this is going to go, but man. Those hamsters, am I right?
