A/N: Had my final farewell thing at school today, it was rather emotional that now I'm sat here in tears writing this. I just can't help it…I really liked school. I'm a loser XD

Chapter 8: A Reunion

The buzz of Kishinuma headquarters was slightly unusual, those who bustled around the complex with their heads down trying to get to their allocated place casually strolled their way about the green fields that the large windows framed from inside.

This made Yoshiki realise that it was the first time in a couple of days that he left the building to go outside, he was in the main hall trying to spot anyone that looked like the group of people Ayumi would talk to him about. That's when he laid his eyes on Seiko next to Naomi whose hand was intertwined with…Mochida? Whoever this was he had large chocolate eyes, brown well brushed hair and a warm welcoming grin. The complete opposite the delinquent, apart from the identical uniform they wore.

"Kishinuma~" The hyper active child waved to the blonde who was watching the 3 make their way to him.

"Hey I don't believe we have met. The name is Satoshi Mochida" The male brunette extended his free arm towards Yoshiki, the blonde was a little hesitant to reply to the gesture but he gave in and firmly shook back whilst introducing himself.

"We haven't, I'm Yoshiki Kishinuma." As the two boys let go of hands Yoshiki noticed a fresh scar across Satoshi's left cheek. "Heh…you got on someone's bad side?"

"Ah…Some jerk attacked me on surprise on. Unfortunately that incident wasn't in my favour." Replied Satoshi.

"Mochida, it could have been far worse which I'm thankful it's not." Naomi muttered to herself to earn a regretful glance from Mochida and his smile saddened a little, she squeezed his hand for reassurance.

"Always suspect the unexpected, I guess." Yoshiki thoughtfully blurted out, as he remembered how he learnt that advice.

"Glad to see you are finally learning something Kishinuma." That voice was all too familiar to the blonde he didn't have to turn around to acknowledge who it was, instead he chuckled from her introduction as the bluenette in bunchies skipped up to the 4 people. "Mochida! It's great to see you're…not completely damaged." Ayumi exclaimed as she punched Satoshi lightly on his shoulder.

"Careful Shinozaki, he'll be far worse if you continue to do that." The blonde's witty comment made the whole group break into a light laughter. Yoshiki couldn't help but feel comfortable around this new group of people, he spent his whole life shutting people out that made the environment he was in foreign although it just felt right, normal even.

"You guys can't be having this much fun without me!" Interrupted a high pitched voice, the blonde couldn't recognize the owner of it so he swirled the balls of his feet to the direction of the source of the sound. It was a brunette girl with shoulder length hair, random strands were snatched together in a pink hair tie. An elongated lab coat draped around her body and peaked out the bottom was the lower half of her legs that were attached to exceptionally short feet. Despite the miniscule size of her feet her height was pretty average, making Ayumi probably the shortest of the group so far by a good few inches. Next to her was a boy with a blue hair, the ends of his hair sat on the silver glasses he had on covering his paler blue eyes. Again he had the black two piece that Yoshiki by now was getting pretty bored of seeing. He was pretty sure he was Sakutaro and the female was Suzu-

"Mayu Suzumoto?!" Squealed the girls and they practically were attacking Mayu in a group hug within seconds, this left Yoshiki and Satoshi watch the reunion. This was probably Yoshiki's best chance to ask the question that was still left on his mind.

"Mochida?" Yoshiki carefully said his name as he thought how he should go about this.

"That's the name" Satoshi's attention was fully in Yoshiki's hands now.

"What is exactly you and Ay-Shinozaki's relationship, I mean since I have to work with her for su-"

"No need to explain. I know what it looks like when a man is pining for a girl's affection." Satoshi practically stole Yoshiki's smirk as he caught the blonde of guard

"Eh? I wasn't making that obvious was I?!" Yoshiki's voice raised a little.

"To her she has no idea, girls are like that, and I just know from personal experience with Naka- Oh hey girls!" Satoshi's voice seemed genuine until he practically screamed the last part.

"I'm not a girl." Sakutaro winced.

"You whine like one though" Smirked the blonde, the comment had mixed reactions all the guys chuckled a little unlike the opposite gender that all glared at Yoshiki for what felt like a hour to the blonde until he felt a direct shot of pain in his foot. "GAH, WHAT TH-"

"Look who is whining now. Huehue~ Kishi." Confidently sung Seiko as her foot pulled away from on top of the blonde's, which made everyone chuckle.

After everyone had a brief reunion with each other and Yoshiki introduced himself to Morishige, the 7 trailed out into the front grounds where they started to squabble to choose the 'perfect spot.' The afternoon was calm yet entertaining for the 7 teenagers. The conversation was always afloat, the food brought by Mayu was cooked exceptionally well by Naomi and Satoshi, Seiko would occasionally grope Naomi and everyone seemed so comfortable around each other and loud. Apart from Ayumi who much alike the blonde kept to themselves when the subject 'family' came up. Their glances met and they both threw a thoughtful smile at another, all this socializing was so new to Yoshiki that he had to depart from the teenagers earlier, he thanked everyone as he strolled away from the group. He spotted a ladder that led to the roof of the building letting curiosity get the better of him the blonde hoisted his body weight up the ladder until he reached the top of the establishment.

The view was breath taking.

Since it was about sunset the sky displayed the best mixture of warm tones: reds, oranges and yellows danced and blended into each other. The material the flat roof was made out of made a clonk sound as the boy strolled his weight to be closer to the view. He propped himself leaning onto the bars that surrounded the roof. He felt something shift in his pocket as he adjusted his body to be supported by the building, rummaging through that pocket revealed a packet of cigarettes. The blonde wasn't a regular smoker, his life and the dynamics caused him a great amount of stress that led him to this purchase, he didn't want to admit it to himself but sometimes he needed their relief. Unfolding the box displayed 5 cigarettes standing up in a line ready to be inhaled by his lungs.

"Here goes nothing." The blonde muttered to himself as he raised the chosen cigarette out of the packet, fiddled with his lighter till he got a spark and combined the two. The cigarette tasted awful, a lot more awful than normal this made the blonde cough a little as he took the demon away from his mouth.

Suddenly he saw a small hand grip around his arm, the small hand forced him to the floor of the roof pulling him back in the process. The hand now had a body and a face connected to it, of course it was no other than Ayumi Shinozaki who towered over the taller male who she pinned to the floor. Her large circular eyes were giving the cigarette a death stare, whilst this word escaped her mouth:

"Rule."

A/N: Oh BOY. I wouldn't want to be Kishi~ right now XD Also listen to Hozier-Arsonist's Lullaby! Its supa good! BYEE
