Sayoko waited a few minutes, making sure she wasn’t going to return, and then headed to the door. She locked it and turned off the lights. Letting only the moon shine through the window. Walking over to the kitchen, she turned a lamp on to search the cupboards, memorizing their contents but only grabbing a single piece of bread. Putting it out again, she strode over to the couch, folded her legs under her, and started chewing on her dinner, head on her free hand as she looked out over the grounds, eyes turning grey….How long would this stop last…. She passed out there for the night.

"After the Facts":It was after classes, after dinner, and after a good long hot bath as Makino sat curled up on the couch reading a book. She was in her night robe just waiting for that first yawn to escape her so she could turn in for the night, wake the next day and hope what happened just hours before was all forgotten. Losing her place on the page for the fourth time she sighed and closed the book around her index finger. Her head falling back to the couch cushion behind her head. She looked up at the ceiling, the stark white paint with the light reflecting off it made it seem as if she was looking into the sun.
“Soji-kun…”
She blinked a few times after whispering his name as she slowly started to close her eyes. Starting as a knock echoed through the room.
“Sojiro?” She replied softly as she placed her book to the table and went to get up. They knocked again. “I am coming. One second.”

The second the door was opened, Ryusuke starred at the robed Makino, a bandage carefully placed across his nose, "H-Hey Makino," He chuckled nervously, "Was just checking up on you."
He ran a hand through is hair and sighed, "I would just like to apologize, may I come in?"

Makino nodded as she stepped aside, opening the door more as she gestured for him to enter. After he was in, she closed the door behind him, stepped around him where he stood and went back to the couch.
"How are you feeling?" She looked over to him a huge shining bruise on his cheek as he nodded slowly then walking with a limp as he moved toward the chair across from her. She could not help but giggle softly. "You need a hot bath to loosen up a little or you're not going to be able to move in the morning."
She reached over her book and picked up the clean teacup next to the teapot. "It's still fresh and a special brew my mother use to make us when we were sore and beaten from battle or training. Would you like some?"

Ryusuke laughed and shook his head. "No thanks, Maki. How are you feeling from today? More like how are you feeling from what I blurted out?" A slight grin was on his face, seeming to not care that he had truly done that.
"I mean. I do care about my friends. Just it had to be said regardless," Ryusuke chuckled and sat forward slightly, "I know it was wrong of me to say it, but I said it anyway."

Makino sighed as she nodded her head slowly placing the cup back to the table and looked to Ryusuke. "I was shocked. Appalled, embarrassed." She paused her hand clenching into a fist as it rested to her lap.
"Angered." She looked up at Ryusuke quickly. "But not really at you. Not even at Sojiro or Ruki."
"No?" Ryusuke.
Her head shook. "No. I was mad at myself."

He tilted his head slightly, "Why are you mad at yourself? Shouldn't you be mad at Riku? It seems more logical that way."
He leaned back again and rubbed his nose slightly, trying to ease the pain, "He was really in the wrong, considering he clings to someone that isn't gay... and is taken."

"Because I knew he was gay, well..." Her head tipped slightly to her left. "A switch hitter. Anyway, I am mad at myself for never stopping it. I mean it was not my place while Soji-kun and I were not together, but once we were, I should have--and I didn't."
A silence filled the room for a few seconds as she looked back to Ryusuke. "I had no clue it went as far as you said though. I guess that explains the way he had been acting for so long when Soji-kun and I got together." She sighed. "Now I guess the ball is in Soji-kun's court. He has to figure out where he wants to be." She fell back to the couch with a soft chuckle as her chest tightened and her eyes started to sting. Quickly she covered her face with her hands to stop the feeling of wanting to cry. She suddenly started to giggle.
"Looks like I am back on the market." Her hands dropped as she narrowed her eyes at Ryusuke. "Don't you dare repeat that around Mitsuo."

A slight frown appeared across his face, "No, you aren't on the market. Ichimaru is NOT stupid. If he values you, he'll do what is right. If he doesn't." He paused and sighed, "Then you know what will happen."
He stood and walked over to Makino, patting her shoulder, "And don't worry, Mitsuo won't hear a word from me. Regardless if he is my friend or not. You're placed higher," He smirked, "You weren't the first person for me to meet, but you're definitely the best of the group."
Ryusuke walked back to his seat and leaned against it, "Regardless of what I say, Makino, it will hurt people. I only say the truth, I apologize if I hurt you back in class. But you know it yourself that it had to be said and that you wanted to say it before. Riku DOES indeed need to back off."

Makino nodded slowly as her head hung. "I don't want to come between Soji-kun and Ruki-kun's friendship. I just want Riku to see that his actions are not acceptable. Even if Soji-kun was single. Those kind of actions are just not--" she sighed heavily then looked up at Ryusuke.
"By the Gods I am starting to sound Nii-sama. Damn my Noble bloodline." She giggled softly.

"Maki, you can't always play nice about things like this," He chuckled slightly, "But as I said. Ichimaru will say something. If he doesn't, then you'll still be safe. You'll get over it eventually."
He sighed at what he said, "And please don't get hostile with what I say. You know it is true." He slid back into his chair and groaned from the pain of the class before.

Makino giggled tossing a small waded napkin at him that she had sitting on the table. "I am use to hearing the blatant truth. Nii-sama is very straight forward. If he ever finds a woman it will be a miracle."
Ryusuke smirked and chuckled, grabbing the napkin just to throw it back at her, "Well I'm glad you won't get mad at me for it. Also glad that you aren't overly pissed at me for saying what I did."
She shrugged, "half the school already knew. The other half like me; just questioned it. Now it is out there. I just hope no really bad rumors come from this. I would really hate to have to kick someones ass over this." She sighed, "I got strange enough looks from being a Noble and being with an Ichimaru." She said Sojiro's name like it was taboo as she wiggled her fingers at Ryusuke.

He chuckled and grinned at Maki, "Ichimaru isn't a bad guy. His father really isn't either. But you know, rumors don't make a person. They are meant to break a person. You're strong, don't let them get to you."
"We are lucky to have the friends we do, because we may be at the front of some rumors or jokes," He paused and smirked, "But at least we are the top percentage and can get through anything."

Makino nodded with a bright smile. "I just hope we all get the divisions we are shooting for. I know its really hard, but that is why we are all working so hard for them." She blew a lock of hair from her face.
"I think I might have the hardest time with the Captain that runs the Fifth division. That hollow side of him makes not only a hot head but very ill-tempered."

Ryusuke tilted his head, "You haven't heard? Captain Hirako is in jail currently," He rubbed the back of his head, "I don't have the details but I know it is true. I have a tendency to listen to things I shouldn't be."
Makino's eyes went wide as she looked to Ryusuke. "You're kidding me!? Oh my! I wonder what happened to land him there?" She started to chuckle. "Maybe I should send him cookies to cheer him up."
He blinked at the cookies comment, "I don't think that'd work but it is definitely worth a try," He then grinned at Makino, "Maybe you should make me some brownies as well."
