Ryusuke lifted his free hand and wiped the blood away, smirking at the site of it on his hand, "What a fire Sayoko! The passion, the anger!" He continued the grasp on her wrist as he looked into her eyes, "Where shall you go? Back to Makino to tell her how much of a freak I am? You two don't get along, and from what I can tell, Makino likes me." The look of victory was certainly in his eyes.
"Now tell me, Sayoko. Am. I. Wrong? Because from what I just experienced... Other than one hell of a hit. I am certainly right!" His voice rang around the courtyard, "Because the fire inside you that just decided to show itself, is just about more fantastic than the way you present yourself in front of others."
He tightened his grip on her wrist to see her anger flare once again, "Show me more, Sayoko. Show me exactly how much you have in you so you can prove my point without you saying a word!" His face showed a perfect grin that dared her to do it again. He didn't loosen on his grip and started to speak again before she could, "Sayoko, you are proving my point and curiosity with every passing minute, every second," He paused as his grin faded, "But you know, behind all this fire and annoyance, there has to be a girl that is nice, someone that doesn't hate everyone entirely, someone that isn't the person that just slapped the fuck out of me."

Blood rushed through Sayoko’s mind as the youth trapped her momentarily in a maze of words, the flashbacks held back far enough only because of the bold, bruising grip on her wrist and the crazy light in his grey eyes. The fact that the challenge hadn’t died down. It grounded her.
As always.
Her eyes still bright with her rage, she smiled as the trap in the last words flared in front of her. “Tanahashi, here’s a fact for you,” she whispered, long eyelashes lowering over her eyes. She moved closer, her lips lifting to his ear, letting her breast brush against his arm. “That kind of talk gets you killed.” She rammed her knee into his stomach!
And then when he faltered she swung him around into a bush.
“No one fights my battles for me, wannabe,” she declared, still half crouched, not caring how much of her shirt was gaping. She stood as he turned and groaned. “And no one will save you but for yourself. Ready for round two, monkey?" A faint smile rose over her lips.

Ryusuke coughed as he rose from the bush, "You hit fucking hard, Sayoko," He then spat into the bush and grabbed his stomach, "Do it again. Unleash your anger, show me what you have got inside that little shell." Ryusuke stood up straight and walked up to Sayoko, looking down at her, "You can beat the shit out of me all you want, I will just get back up and keep asking, keep observing, keep anticipating... Because eventually, you won't have the energy or even the fight to do anything to me."
His grin formed across his face once again, trying to ignore the stinging in his face and the now searing pain in his stomach, "Now for the fact that you tried to sway me using your body, it didn't work, as magnificent as it is," Ryusuke stopped and used one hand to lift her chin, nearly forcing her to make eye contact with him, "Sorry doll," he paused for what felt like minutes, he was waiting for the gravity of the situation to fully sink in before muttering the second part, "Your plan failed."

“Who said I had a plan, monkey?” she snapped. Eye still bright, she ducked and swept his leg out from under him, making him fall and hit the walkway hard. Backflipping, she drew her sheathed zanpakuto and held the bronze tip in front of her. “And what was that about the fact that I will tire of beating you up? That I will lose the fight in me?” Her eyes narrowed. “That couldn’t be farther from the truth.”
She smirked, her limbs humming with energy. “As for my distraction, it was an option. But it was your choice to refuse. Not mine~”
“Now are you going to continue this game? Or give up and crawl back to your lab?"

He realized the air in his lungs wasn't there the second he hit the ground, he struggled for breath as he looked up the sleek blade of Sayoko's zanpakuto. Ryusuke tried to stand before he fell, he then raised to his knees and grabbed her zanpakuto full force, letting it cut into his hand. The blade instantly cut into his hand, he winced and started to speak while he gathered his breath, "This isn't a game anymore, Sayoko. This is my studying of a fellow Soul Reaper."
Ryusuke strengthened his grip on her zanpakuto, letting the blood spill down the tip of the blade and hit the walkway, the almost shocked look on Sayoko's face was every bit that he wanted, "Let this be a lesson to you, I am not seduced, and I don't retreat," The snarl on retreat was harsh and his eyes hardened.
With near lightning fast speed, he thrust his arm forward, cutting his shirt sleeve with her blade, he used the strip of shirt that was cut to wrap around Sayoko's arm where he twisted her around and kicked the inner knee, forcing her to the ground, leaving her zanpakuto wrapped up in her hand at her side. His other hand was on the back of her head, "You're too angry. You should've seen that coming."

“The fight’s not over yet, monkey.” Sayoko growled. She twisted her head out from under his hand, grabbing it with her free hand, and pivoting She hooked her legs on his back and threw herself over. Landing hard on her back. Taking a quick breath, she flung herself up and pulled at the binding on her blade. Her limbs shook. And when Ryusuke turned around, her eyes narrowed, kicking at him. And when he caught the leg and grinned, she cut off another of his retorts by swinging her whole body into another kick with her free leg.
Blood pumping through her mind, colors spinning before, she kept moving. She laughed. Drawn on by the rush ripping through her. The fleeting thrill of this moment.

His eyes widened as her free leg was rocketing towards his head, "DAMMIT," He exclaimed right as he let go of her other leg, moving his arm up just in time to have her shin collide with his arm and a huge chunk of his head. The hit rocked him, he could barely stand as he backed away. His vision was blurry and he could barely tell where she was, "I'm not a Monkey, Doll!"
His temper was slowly getting the best of him, he started to realize the mistakes that he had made from earlier to now. He blinked a few times as Sayoko stood and quickly went for another kick. Ryusuke side stepped the kick and wrapped an arm around the neck and whispered into her ear, "This fire, the way you look, you enjoy fighting don't-" He couldn't finish the sentence because Sayoko lifted her elbow and smashed into his forehead, rocking him once again as he stumbled back.
Ryusuke started to think to himself, "This is a losing fight, I can't keep this up," He stepped back a little further and fell to his knees, sighing at the girl standing over him, "I will never retreat," The adrenaline hit him once again as Ryusuke dove and tackled Sayoko, forcing her to the ground. He pinned her arms and looked down at her as blood dripped from the gash on his forehead from her elbow, "I can't keep this up, Sayoko. Either end this now or I'll be in the infirmary for days because of you."

“You bastard!” Sayoko growled. “Get off-”
Blood dripped onto her forehead and she stiffened as a vision of someone swam before her. A woman dressed in a long white kimono with pale leaves swirling around and long black hair that brushed against her cheeks. Blood slipped down from her smiling visage…
“I angered him… but it will be alright…”
With each word, another splash of crimson liquid fell into her face. And the limbs around her shook more. Wait…. Where was it coming from?
“I’ll just need…. some rest….. after…”
A door banged and she jolted…. Sayoko jumped as the boy’s form slumped on top of her. “I guess you’re done… that’s good…” He closed his eyes. “I should… try new tactics … next time.” Sayoko released a quaking breath and pushed him off her, sliding a hand through a damp patch on her cheek. Eyes slowly fading into glass again, she turned the boy over and unwrapped her shirt. Motions automatic. Scrubbing at the blood on his face. She had torn the cloth into strips and wrapped his hand before someone whispered somewhere behind her. Sayoko stood up quickly. Topless but from her a low camisole that nearly showed a secret just under her breastbone. She kicked at Ryusuke’s side.
And ran.

His eyes opened slowly, it felt like hours since he passed out. There was a searing pain across his entire body. Ryusuke went to sit up, trying to put pressure on his hand, he quickly slumped back to the ground as his hand stung, "What the hell," He looked at his hand, "Fuck this is too tight."
Ryusuke slowly stood and winced at the pain. He raised his hand to his forehead and nearly groaned in pain as he felt the burn of the first aid. He started to think upon what happened to get these injuries, more importantly, the first aid, "Did Sayoko do this? I know we got into a fight... But for her to bandage me? And why did she freeze when I had her pinned... What happened when I blacked out..."
He growled and looked up into the night sky, "Sayoko... All I know is your first name. I'll get to know you. And I'll get my answers," With those words to himself, he slowly started to walk away, hoping no one would notice his multitude of injuries.

" A Girls' Outing": (continued) Turning to her voice Makino saw Allura waking toward her in a dark blue kimono with clusters of blossomed, cherry blossoms and their leaves the colors set in a dark olive, peach, pinks and white, her obi narrow and cream color. Her long red hair was down but pulled back into a loose braid going down her back. Makino had decided to wear a soft green, almost lime colored kimono, faded across the bottom half were pale white bamboo stalk silhouettes that came up from the hem, at an angle, and stopped just below her hip on her right side, the Obi was a reverse of the kimono and her long raven hair was pulled up held with hairpins, from the end of the pins dangled long pale green bamboo leaves.
"Hello," Makino replied with a bright smile a slight touch of irritation in her eyes. "Sleep well?""As well as most nights. You alright? You seem--irritated." Allura asked her as Makino turned back and they continued walking toward the Academy gates.She growled softly adjusting her bag on her shoulder. "Sayoko.""Your room mate right?" Makino nodded not looking her way. "You two really don't get along do you?""That's an understatement." Makino said giggling softly as she looked her way.Well at least she was laughing now. Allura thought to herself. "What happen? If, you don't mind me asking, that is.""She has this bad habit of calling me Princess. It drives me insane." Makino told her.

"Let me guess, she calls you that as a jab at your noble blood?" Allura shook her head not really understanding the point behind that.
"I would suggest to just stop reacting to it at all and maybe even responding to it, but that would probably only make her worse." Which she knew Makino definitely did not need.

Makino's hands clenched at her sides. "I try to ignore it, but that nick name drives me crazy. I was called it as a child by a man that turned against our clan." She looked to Allura. "He almost killed my older brother and father in an ambush he and his sidekicks set up. "I am just glad my father had Hakuryuu and Kouen with them. If they would not have been there they both would have been dead."
She sighed heavily, "I just don't get her. Sayoko that is." Makino added as both girls looked at one another as they walked. "I have tried and tried to be nice to her and all she wants to do his be hateful and snarky with me."

Allura nodded at what Makino was saying and thought, "She's probably been through a lot. But there isnt really much you can do with her from there except just try to deal with it."
She decided a change of topic would be good, "But hey, we can worry about that another time, maybe eventually you two will get along... You wanna go ahead and get going?" Makino nodded, her frustration still obvious there, "Yeah let's go." Allura followed beside her friend as they left the campus.Moved

"Gathering the Fund Facts": It was late afternoon when Makino and Sojiro returned back to the academy. With everything Makino had to do and Sojiro as well, they bid one another farewell for the day and went their separate ways. Promising the other they would see one another before the sunset that evening.
Both retired to the dorm rooms to clean up and change after their walk back from the manor and put away their things. Once Makino had finished she headed off to find Ayako. She hoped she would find her on campus since there was still much to do for the festival and Ayako knew Makino would be returning with the news on if her family would help them out with the festival funds or not. Even if Makino was not able to find her on campus, she was still allowed to go to girls home to talk to her. Facts needed to be known, though to do so, she had promised Byakuya that if she could not find her on campus she would contact him so he could assign her an escort to take her to her home where she stayed when classes were not in session.
It was not the fact of the matter that Byakuya still worried Makino would relapse if those men showed themselves to her. It was the fact that Ayako, even though she acted all high and mighty. She lived in a bad area of the Rukongai and Byakuya did not want Makino out in the alone. There were always better odds for two then one. However, Makino got lucky and spotted Ayako with her friends in the courtyard. As she walked toward them Ayako saw her and stepped away from her friends to greet her.

The two stopped a few feet from one another as they bowed slightly. “Hello Tori, did you get good news from your mother?” Ayako asked her as she stood before her.
“Yes, I did and I need to collect all the paperwork and the Festival’s log book on the funds spent.” Makino informed her.
“I can’t release that to you, you’re not part of the Festival Committee.” Ayako told her with a faint smile painted across her lips.
Makino grinned at her like a mad March Hair. “I am now. Remember the deal we made? ‘If I got the money from my family I was taking over’. Remember?” Makino crossed her arms over her abdomen as she looked at the girl. “Now, since you don’t seem to think I was serious when I said it,” Makino’s arms dropped to her side as she turned away from the girl. “I guess I will leave. With my families money. Good luck to you.” Makino gave a carefree wave over her shoulder as she walked away.
Makino had gotten a few paces away from her before Ayako growled her foot stomping to the ground under her. “Fine!” She growled from between gritted teeth. “I will give you the paperwork and the log book, but I still want to help.”
