"Sheena." The somewhat scrawny redhead bowed respectfully to his Head of House, but not before she had registered the surprise on his face.

"Aki stand up." Her voice betrayed no emotion as she regarded the jyuunishi coldly. He obeyed, his dark mahogany eyes studying her calculatingly. They stood in the middle of a busy street, the other citizens not sparing them a glance.

"It's been a while, hasn't it?" She asked, her voice and expression icy. He nodded, eyeing her warily.

He had changed, since she'd seen him last. He'd filled out a bit, so he wasn't as scrawny, and she could tell by his fluid movements that he had kept up his martial arts training with Yuki. All the jyuunishi studied martial arts under Yuki now. Except her. Always the exception.

He had grown too, he now stood a few inches taller than her.

Last time she had seen him they'd been the same height.

He studied her as well.

Noting the changes in her appearance and demeanor.

"Well continue with what you were doing, I have no need of you." Sheena sneered maliciously, a dangerous glint in her eyes.

Aki didn't move, transfixed, studying her closely. She huffed impatiently and brushed by him, knocking his shoulder with hers as she brushed briskly by him.
