Where do I find you…?

The time will come when I find you…
And the time I find you, there will also be a time…
Where I lose you…

Warning: Super out of character Jirou! Be alarmed!!
--
After some time, Jirou soon woke up, first noting that he was still in the clubroom lobby.
Hmm… I must have slept for some time now… he thought to himself with a shrug. He stood up from his sleeping place, then gave a yawn, planning on moving to a more pleasant place, when,
"Ore?" he turned to say, once sighting a female on the BOYS clubroom lobby couch (a/n: -.-).
Jirou walked towards her, wanting to get a closer look.
His eyes widened at the realization of who the woman was. He took a step back, then ran to his bag.
What he took out… was a dagger…
Slowly walking up to the woman, Jirou raised his dagger, prepared with what to do with his plan.
He did not expect their meeting in the human world… He did not expect for their battle to end here… and he did not expect…
Amy suddenly jumped from the couch, grabbing his arm, then running behind him, the hand with the dagger near to his neck.
"I am the leader of the protection force of his Majesty…" she informed. "You think I'll allow the cause of my death be so pathetic…?" she asked, pushing the dagger nearer to Jirou's throat.
Thinking His Majesty would not be happy with her, killing one of his 'thought' teammates; Amy just kept him still, having no plan whatsoever to kill the young warrior.
"What are your obligations here, Lismanian (one from Lisma; see chapter 5)?" Amy asked, gripping on his arm even tighter.
Jirou made no sign of struggle whatsoever… he was patient, unlike those she had fought with several times… making her get the fact that he was only a trainee.
"I…" he started. "I'm supposed to live my life freely here at the moment, till my father decides on my return…" he answered, honestly.
It was a good start, but it didn't explain at all why he tried to attack Amy.
"Who are you to the country of Lisma?" she asked in a fierce tone.
"I don't find it necessary that-."
"Answer…" she cut in, bringing the dagger even closer to his neck.
Intimidated by her actions, Jirou simply sighed, then answered, "I'm the next in crown for my country… My father is King Rupert… King of the land of the rebels…"
It all makes sense now… Amy thought to herself, as she shook her head out of realization.
She took the dagger away from him, then threw him at the couch.
With his fall, Amy suddenly pointed the dagger to him as a sign that she makes no kid when it comes to these matters.
"Then… you must be Akain Jirou, am I correct…?" she asked, circling him.
Jirou nodded. "Aa… but in the human world, I am addressed as Akutagawa Jirou…" he pointed out.
Amy just nodded, and, "Did you think, that trying to kill the lead protection force of Krad, would earn you points from your father, making him finally decide on the decision on whether you will come back or not…?" she asked, glaring slightly at him.
She was still pissed at the fact, that Jirou, a prince and a becoming king, would turn to be so low as to attack someone defenseless… especially when one is asleep!
Jirou just looked away, glaring.
Amy just sighed, and, "You know attacking someone defenseless is pathetic right…?" she asked, kneeling to his level.
She knew at some point, that the boy was somewhat confused with his life… he had yet to understand his world… and his possible future.
"It's pathetic… especially for a becoming king…" he admitted, lowering his head.
Amy gave out an exhausted sigh, then gave him his dagger back.
Jirou gave her a confused look, wondering why in the world she would give him his dagger back.
She noted that there was not even a tiny tint of unfaithfulness in the man, and seeing is that she KNEW that there was NO WAY he could possibly kill her, she turned to the decision on letting him do what he wanted.
"Care to explain?" he asked, holding up the dagger upside down, as to make her see that he had no other plan.
Amy was surely aware of the fact that he was as well defenseless… He had no training, and simply decides on his own.
"I feel that fighting with you is hopeless at the moment, Sir Jirou…" she admitted, with a smile on her face. "You and your people are defenseless on weekdays, and those current times usually result to sleeping or if something interests thee; jumps around and of course…" she paused.
"I am aware of the fact that a TRUE Lismanian always keeps his/her words…" with this, she leaned closer to Jirou. "So if you just promise me that you will lay no hand on the King of Krad and I during our stay here… I will gladly spare your life…"
Jirou felt somewhat confused, but in the end… also somewhat obliged to her… Before he knew it, he suddenly turned to the decision, "Fine…"
Amy just smiled, then slowly pushed his head on the couch. "Sleep… I know you're exhausted…" she smiled, pulling the sheets that were on her a while ago.
She noted the slight blush on Jirou's cheeks, and couldn't help but giggle.
I forgot… Lisman boys are cautious of women, she chuckled, walking to another side of the lobby, as to not have Jirou feel conscious sleeping in the same room as her.
She sat on the chair, then leaned her head on the table, feeling a bit exhausted as well. I guess I'll just wait for His Majesty… He doesn't need to know… suddenly thinking of the king, she realized the fact that Jirou hadn't made a move on him…
It was truly known to all the royalties of their world that Atobe was the new king of Krad… so why didn't he turn to the result of killing him first…?
Seeing is that Jirou was already fast asleep, Amy just shrugged it off at the moment, planning on asking him later on… then drifting off to sleep as well…
--
After another while, Jirou again woke up. He got up from the couch, noting the woman he had met a while ago was sleeping peacefully by the table.
He felt guilty for ruining her sleep… It wasn't him to try to kill her…
Jirou, a while ago, was shocked at the fact that she caught onto him so quickly… she thought that if he had turned to kill a Kradian, not only a Kradian, but a Kradian Official… he would earn points from his father, making him finally decide on whether he stays or doesn't…
He took the blanket she had put on him a while ago, then walked towards her, placing it on her.
"The reason I did not try to kill your king…" he said softly. "Was because I felt obliged to him as well…"
Giving a soft chuckle, Jirou brushed his hand through his hair with a smile. "I guess Krad's power IS to be honored… That's what's special to them," he added, giving Amy one last glance, before exiting the clubroom.
With his leave, Amy nudged a bit, hearing everything he had just said. Maa… he will turn out to be a good King after all… she thought with a smile…
And with that, she went back to her sleep, not aware that a young blue-capped man witnessed the whole scene.
--
Shishido's eyes were wide open, as well as his mouth, practically shocked with what he just saw and heard moments ago…
He was in the clubroom bathroom the whole time, after making his leave from the showers not so long ago… He decided on cutting class and spending his time in the bathroom (seeing is that the lobby was occupied) after telling Ootori to go ahead to class before he turns to get late.
Noting the window from the bathroom, Shishido fixed himself up, then started climbing out of it.
He thought the girl was dangerous, and planned on telling Atobe that the girl was a total maniac! He was panicking throughout his whole 'trying-to-escape' plan, making it a little harder for him to quickly get out.
But after a while, his plan prevailed, but at the time he had his whole body out, 2 large figures stood before him, arms crossed.
"Shishido…" Atobe begun. "What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in class?" he asked, giving him a deathly look.
Feeling relieved at the fact that he was here, Shishido suddenly grabbed Atobe's collar, and yelled, "YOUR GIRLFRIEND'S A MANIAC!" going as planned.
Atobe just raised an eyebrow, nothing changing but the now untidiness of his shirt. "Kabaji…" he simply said, with a sigh.
"Usu," Kabaji answered, grabbing onto Shishido's collar and lifting up from the ground.
Shishido struggled in the air, trying hard to get down. "LET GO!!" he yelled, moving all over the place.
Atobe moved closer to him, and, "Now… tell me exactly… what you mean…"
--
Upon Shishido's LONG explanation, Atobe was much shocked about the story with Jirou… Not once did Amy mention he as the King of the Lisma place, as so he recalls.
He was also shocked at the fact that Amy hadn't awaken through out their time.
They were in the lobby as well, but Shishido, feeling a bit frightened after the whole scene not so long ago, hid behind Kabaji.
"Kabaji," Atobe called.
"Usu?" he answered quickly.
Atobe gave a sigh, and, "Please awaken, Amy…" he said, pressing his eyes out of frustration.
"Usu…" and with that, Kabaji simply walked over to Amy grabbing her by the collar, causing her to choke a bit.
Atobe panicked a little, and, "GENTLY!" he ordered.
Kabaji gave his simple answer, and brought her down.
Amy fixed her collar, then walked over to His Majesty, body straight, eyes focused, smile in place. "Hai, Keigo?" she asked, thinking he wanted her for a reason.
Atobe just gave her an unsatisfying look. "What is Jirou?" he asked, wanting a quick answer.
Realizing His Majesty already had some hints, Amy, "He is the becoming King of Lisma, Keigo…" she started. "He will not lay a hand on you, as he promises…"
"How do you know he's not just saying that to back you away from him?" he asked, feeling annoyed at the fact that he trusts him so easily.
Extending her smile, Amy said, "I just have a feeling…"
Atobe sighed, then nodded. "Fine… I'll trust you… but if any dirty things happen here caused by Jirou… caused AGAIN by Jirou…" he rephrased himself. "I will not stand for it, alright?"
"Hai, Keigo-sama," she smiled, feeling relaxed with Atobe's kindness.
But she recalled a while ago, that she told herself not to feel this way… It will only bring her to exile… it will only being her farther away from His Majesty.
Atobe smirked. "Don't call me Keigo-sama… Keigo is just fine as you started before…" he said, in a demanding way.
Amy gave a chuckle, then turned to Shishido, whom was now hiding behind Atobe. "Saa, could this be the one whom hid in the bathroom all day, listening to Sir Jirou and I's conversation?" she asked, slightly opening her eyes.
Shishido turned away from her, thinking that looking into her eyes would only bring him to his early grave.
Finding his fright amusing, Amy then turned to Kabaji.
She smiled at him, while he gave his simple look, and, "It's nice to see you again, Munehiro-dono," she said, giving a bow.
"Usu…" he answered.
"EH!?!!" Atobe suddenly yelled, standing up from his seat.
Thinking Atobe wasn't really aware of the whole '-dono' thing, Amy, "Keigo, Munehiro-dono and his family have been serving your Kingdom for over how many centuries now," she started. "They were assigned to take care of you and the past King's from your country to take care and serve you till you come to realize you were royalty…" she finished with her usual smile.
Atobe just smirked, and, "But I always KNEW I was royalty… even without my Kingdom…" he arrogantly said, brushing his hand through his hair.
Amy just chuckled, then gave a curt nod. "Aa… As you wish, Keigo," she smiled.
Feeling a sudden drowsiness, Amy lost her balance a bit, holding onto her head.
"Amy! Are you alright!!?!" he asked, holding onto her to give her support.
Amy nodded, still holding onto her head. "Maa… I guess sleepless isn't acceptable in the human world, ne?" she said, with an embarrassed smile.
Atobe just gave her a worried look, then turned to Kabaji. "Kabaji, open my room," he ordered.
"Usu," and with that, Kabaji went to a door, finding the halls. He opened the neatly crested wall, revealing a bedroom (a/n: Can you believe Atobe had the nerve to make bedrooms for the clubroom lobby!?).
Atobe picked Amy up bridal style, then carried her to the room.
"Since when did we have bedrooms in the clubroom?" Shishido asked himself, knowing that Atobe was occupied and Kabaji doesn't say much, and followed them.
When they got to the room, Atobe placed her on the bed, and tucked her in. "I want you to sleep as much as you want, got it? I want you to have a lot of energy when you start school tomorrow…" he said, sitting on the edge of the bed.
Amy just gave a soft blush, then nodded, feeling embarrassed at the fact she was burdening the King.
Atobe smiled, then softly kissed her on the forehead. "We're sleeping here tonight… I don't want your sleep ruined…" he said, standing up, then heading to the door.
"But I-."
"No complaints, Amy," he cut her. He stopped once he reached the door. "I will be back in a short while… Classes are almost finished, so take your time here, and rest… I will lock the door so no one will come in, understand?"
Before he could leave the room, Amy suddenly, "WAIT!" she yelled.
The three boys in the room turned to her, and to their surprise, Amy's palm started to turn green and a great blast was shown and suddenly hit Shishido's head, turning Atobe in a panicked state.
"AMY, WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO!!?!" he yelled, slapping Shishido's face, hoping for his sudden awake.
Amy just smiled, and, "I had his memories erased," she said, looking innocent. "He'll wake up in just about…" with a pause, she continued, "…Now…"
Going along with her counting, Shishido groaned as a sign that he was already awake. "Crap, my head hurts…" he said, as he held onto his head, standing up from the floor. He looked around, noticing Atobe, Kabaji and Amy, and, "Where the hell am I?" he asked, not remembering the whole 'clubroom bedrooms' thing.
"We're in the clubroom bedrooms," Atobe said simply, as if it were no surprise to him.
Shishido raised an eyebrow. "Since when did we have clubroom bedrooms?" he asked, giving a quizzical look.
Putting the thought aside, Shishido just mumbled a 'whatever' then exited the clubroom, heading to class.
The time Shishido exited the room, Atobe gave Amy a look. "DON'T leave this room!" and with that, Atobe tightly shut the door, not forgetting to lock it, earning a giggle from the young woman.
Amy sighed, thinking the King was being too over protective. It should be I who should be the one doing the protecting… not the other way around… she thought, pushing the pillow on her face.

Meanwhile, Atobe and Kabaji,
"Ne… Kabaji…" Atobe called, looking straight as he walked to class, side by side with Kabaji.
"Usu?" Kabaji answered quickly, doing the same.
Atobe hesitated on asking, but, "Is it true… that you and your family have been protecting us before we even turned to find out we were royalty…?"
"Usu…" he simply answered.
Atobe smirked, then brushed his hand through his hair. "I'm not one to say this, but… Arigatou…"
"…" Kabaji waited a while, then, "U-usu…"
