Important Matters

Author's Notes: A more serious drabble with a touch of humor in the end. Touches on the unseen side of Kimi Toudou.
Even if Kimi had always carried this air-headed, flamboyant, and flirtatious aura, the Student Council secretary knew very well that not everyone really knew her for who she really is.
At school she was a seductress. She was a student council secretary. She was Pink in Kakeru's Student Defense Corps. She was enemy number one of the Yuki Fan Club. But Kimi was more than that.
Way more than that.
In some way, she wasn't part of the go home club (1) even if that was what everyone thought. It was just because she didn't attend school clubs. Instead she had private lessons for a couple of hobbies others may not have even imagined for Kimi. She actually tried her hand in arts and crafts only to end up working on her own projects every now and then.
Kimi was a pretty decent tennis player when she had the chance to play the game once in a while. She had tried other sports at one time or another, and though she didn't fare as well in sports such as bowling or pool she didn't suck too bad either.
Another thing that Kimi doesn't usually mention to others is her musical ability in the violin and piano. She could play numerous consecutive pieces without breaking a sweat and still have enough energy to be her usual bouncy self.
Just from that you couldn't say that she was simply the type of girl who would spend her time doing nothing but shopping in Harajuku (2) during her free time.
Kimi was simply one of those people who shouldn't be judged just because of their physical appearances. She really wasn't the stereotype everyone expects her to be.
Kimi knew that she had to be a well-rounded person. She also knew that she should keep her options open. And keeping her options open was enough explanation on why she took part in a wide variety of activities. After all, if she were to stick to music wouldn't all those who find music interesting approach her? If she were simply all sporty wouldn't she be asked to be part of their club? If she were simply part of arts and crafts would she still have time for her own projects?
She wanted to remain a mystery. A surprise. She just had to keep her options open so that she could be the girl of every man's dreams. Those were the more important matters to Kimi.
After all, when a man asked her out wouldn't it be better if she were the one molding him to her liking instead of the other way around?
Yeah, that's what Kimi thought so.
I didn't matter what Kimi showed interest in because Kimi would always be Kimi, no matter what.
Author's Note: Just wanted to write this because I found that Kimi was simply a character labeled, and was considered a stereotype. I mean, who's has tried to delve deeper in the enchantress' lifestyle, beneath the all fashion, attitude and the "pink" that surrounded her?

(1) Go home club – "Club" for students who aren't part of school activities.
(2) Harajuku – Shopping district of Japan.
As usual, I'd appreciate it if you reviewed. I'm accepting ideas for Yuki and Machi drabbles! I'm at a loss for ideas for either of them
Up next will be Naohito Sakuragi! Kakeru will be appearing in the next one as well, that's a given.
