She hadn't seen that jackass all day, thank god. She could sue him! Did he know that?..Elaina doubted that he would care at all if she mentioned it. The girl sighed as she walked down the hall, a biology text book and a notepad held to her chest as she weaved through students, or rather got out of their way, as she headed to her next class. Though the idea of skipping the rest of the day sounded so tempting. The thought had arose during the last period, though it had been an ebbing desire since she woke up this morning. She just wasn't feeling it today. The girl adjusted her books and self consciously rubbed her left cheek. The swelling had gone down a lot since the other night, but there was still a bruise. She had to cover it with a bandage just to hide it from her peers. Even though this wasn't the worst of her afflictions, the bandage made her feel more self conscious then the cut on her shoulder, or the other smaller bruises on her side. Those were hidden at least, but everyone could see the freakin band-aids on her face.
Elaina felt like it made her look like either A. A punk asking for trouble, or B. A wimp who'd gotten her ask kicked. Of course the latter was true, but it wasn't like she'd expected any of it! It wasn't like she did anything particularly wrong to deserve it. "Ow, ah sorry." She winced, moving out of the way from a student she didn't know. She shrugged against the pain in her side, pushing it to the back of her mind. Maybe it was a good idea to skip. The instant she looked up it became more then just a want out of simple desire, but fear. Elaina turned around and weaved around people quickly, heading in the opposite direction of where her class was supposed to be. "Excuse me. Sorry, pardon me.." She muttered while ducking through the crowd of students who'd just gotten out of lunch and were blocking up the halls. Elaina hadn't seen the psycho for a few days, but she'd been keeping her eye out since then. Pff, of course she wasn't scared...tch.
Her eyes grew wide as she stumbled forward after making it out of the congested hall. Spotting a janitors closet within a few feet of herself she took it. It was better then interrupting someones class. Once inside she dropped her books to the floor and quickly shut the door behind her. At the moment she didn't care if she got in trouble for being in here, she didn't wanna get herself killed by that crazy kid. She had no idea what his name was but for now she was fine with the name calling. Breathing in, she listened to the voices outside of the door as mild comfort. Breathing out she turned away from the door and stared into the abyss of darkness and realized she'd actually shut herself into a janitors closet. This was what it was coming to now? Hiding. She wasn't even entirely sure it was Hideki who she'd seen and yet she was already so quick to hide. Elaina walked over to the farthest corner of the closet, holding her hands out trying not to bump into things. Curling up in the corner she folded her legs to her chest and stared down at what would have been her knees if she could see.
This was all so pathetic and she knew it. If someone told her in coming to this school she'd be hiding in closets and running from crazy boys trying to kill her she'd think you were on drugs. But it was happening, and she didn't know what to do about it. It didn't take long after thinking about this stuff for Elaina to start crying. It wasn't just that she felt super pathetic for hiding, but she was forcing herself to sit in the dark. She hated the dark, and being in here unable to see a thing scared her even more then whatever was out there. Elaina rested her head on her arms that were folded over her legs, trying not to be too loud but it wasn't like anyone would pay much attention to it. She could hear the hallway dispersing, the bell was probably going to ring soon. There was no way she was going to class after this. |

Losing your memory - - - - * Call all your friends Tell them I'm never coming back. Cause this is the end Pretend that you want it, don't react The damage is done. The police are coming too slow now. I would have died I would have loved you all my life" Takuya felt exhausted, it was almost annoying to him. Perhaps he didn't know exactly where it was going to get him. The boy did have a hard time lately. Mostly thanks to that person. Raimo didn't seem to like him all that much. Not that the wolf got why it wasn't as if he went out of his way to do anything to him. All he did was share a room, oh and save him from drowning. But no one needed to know any of that right? Or at least he thought so. Sighing a bit Takuya walked through the other students. Slipping past them ever so slowly. He didn't need to upset any of them.
Or do anything like that. Biting his lip the boy moved back to avoid being hit. Scents in the air confused him, this was one of those times he hated having a wolf's sense of smell. Not that he would even be able to get away from it. Takuya leaned against the door to the Janitor's closet. He had barely missed the girl who climbed into it. Though there was now a foreign scent it interested him. Opening the door he peeked in, and sniffed around silently. For the most part it was dark.
"Why are you hiding in here~" He had to ask and just smiled a bit, wondering what she was doing. Most people didn't just go hide in this place unless they had a reason. This girl was definitely odd. He slipped closer to her. Reaching out the wolf almost wanted to poke her cheek. But he stopped himself. Why was a girl hiding in here? That was all just so weird to begin with. It still had to be so weird.
Takuya didn't get his reasons for going in here. Usually he might have just ignored it. Yet that didn't matter did it? Things had already been said and done. Why was she sad? Why was she even crying? It had to be so weird of course. He could hear the bell, but he ignored it as well. Focusing on this girl instead. | |

Elaina flinched heavily at the sound of the door moving away from the frame. Her whole body had jerked, her heart dropped terrified that maybe it was him. She'd gasped while lifting her head, preparing herself to grab whatever close by that could be used as a weapon. Her cheeks were wet and smudged with her own tears. You could see the faint shine it left as light from the hallway slipped into the closet, illuminating a column of her face. Some sort of odd emotion entered her soul, a quirky mixture of relief but not quite enough to make her feel comfortable or safe, but at the same time immense confusion. Who was this person and why was he not going away? "Get out!" The girl replied back to him in a quite unnecessary loud tone. Her voice was still riddled with weakness from her crying, making it difficult to sound genuinely threatening, not that she could ever come off that way to begin with.
Elaina expected him to leave after she yelled at him, but instead he just ignored her and walked right in; furthermore, he was smiling. The girl frowned at him, Her hands balled into fists, raising to shield the lower half of her face from him. "Who are you?" She inquired, her soft spoken voice slightly muffled due to her hands hovering over her lips. "What do you want?" She sounded angry, but that wasn't the denominating emotion controlling her behavior. Honesty, even if it wasn't Hideki that had opened the door, she didn't feel willing to trust anyone at the moment. She was still a bit scared and he'd made her jump out of her skin when he came in here.
Elaina heard the bell ring but didn't get up, and was more surprised as the boy didn't either. Her eyes narrowed, zoning in on him, making sure he didn't do anything funny. Sniffling, she just stared at him...or rather glared, though this did nothing to stop her from continuing to cry. She thought 'What the hell' anyway, not like she'd probably ever talk to this kid again. He'd become a distant memory until she forgot what he even looked like. In that case he wouldn't be a memory at all. |

I would have died I would have loved you all my life" The boy blinked and tilted his head wondering what to say. This almost didn't make sense, Takuya didn't get why she had stayed in here. Not like this was one of his choice hiding places either so it was just odd. But the wolf had learned never question just see what can be done to help. It was usually something he lived by as of lately. Specially with Raimo as a roomie. At least she hadn't attacked him, Takuya would hate to have to hurt her.
Not that she was Raimo or someone else he knew. It didn't change that she meant something to him. Even if they just ran into each other. Couldn't blame him for those things really. With a small smile that would never fade he just moved a bit closer. "I'm not going to do anything. You seemed upset." He spoke his purpose, really he had noticed her scent. Then realized she was depressed couldn't blame him for not ignoring that.
He settled down watching her. "It's Takuya. Though what's up hm?" He had to ask, she needed to talk a little bit. If anything for just a little bit. Not that it mattered. Takuya had to deal with Raimo he could deal with other people too. The bell hurt his ears ever so slightly. If only just because of where they were.
"So why are you crying?" He had to ask as he just stayed there waiting for her to speak. It wasn't as if he could push things anyway right. | |

As he scooted closer to her she stopped glaring at him, though it didn't prevent her from feeling uncomfortable. Sniffle. For the most part she was still as stiff as a board, not yet willing to relax while around a stranger, which was what this kid was, and yet he was acting as if he'd met her before. All these questions. Elaina leaned away from him, trying to preserve what little personal space she had in the confined closet. Elaina frowned, her expression obviously confused as his first comment came her way. She seemed upset? Well for god sake she hoped she didn't seem happy, that'd just be pathetic. 'Thanks Mr obvious..' She wanted to say, but couldn't muster up the courage. Hearing that he had no intention of 'doing anything' as he put it, made her feel a little less scared, but she was being a bit stubborn.
"...Elaina." The girl murmured. Maybe it was the vibes emitting from him, or the half smile in his expression - that was nothing like Hideki's by the way - that made her feel less threatened. Still, she couldn't help but think that this situation was odd. He'd just found some girl in a janitors closet, crying. What on earth made him want to stick around this? Her eyes softened as he asked her why she was crying, her face turned a shade of pink in response as well. "I..." What was she going to tell him? That she was scared of some idiot that was YOUNGER then her for god sake. Still...he fought like a freakin gladiator.
Elaina dropped her hands from her face suddenly, after swiping at her cheeks anxiously. She gave him a slight scowl, "I was just trying to avoid the bell." Her arms folded, resting on the tops of her knees as she tried to think of another counter, "I didn't think about how dark it would be in here with the door shut...is all." Her eyes parted from his unable to focus on him while she was bluffing. Still the fear of the dark thing was real but she knew that wasn't the real reason and it made her feel...bad. He wasn't being mean to her, and that was a first. It just made her feel all the more worse. The girl almost blurted out an apology just because of it. |

Losing your memory - - - - * Call all your friends Tell them I'm never coming back. Cause this is the end Pretend that you want it, don't react The damage is done. The police are coming too slow now. I would have died I would have loved you all my life" Perhaps it would have been a smarter idea for the wolf to pull back. Anything other then getting too much closer to the girl. Not that he wanted to upset her, or anyone. Takuya secretly had a habit of beating himself up when that happened. Raimo the hunter he roomed with had already seen that once. It had to do with his status as a stranger to her probably. Not that he complained. The black haired wolf had slowly become used to this. Working through the little things the best he could manage. Anything without stepping into places he shouldn't. Being told he was a bit reckless probably didn't help.
Takuya shook those thoughts away smiling and focusing back on the girl in front of him. What had scared her so much? Or who for that matter. It could have been anything but he wasn't sure exactly. Who could blame the male of course? Not like he knew exactly what to say. If anything would calm her down? It wasn't his place after all. The small wolf would be better off slinking back. And yet of course because of his slight stubborn attitude it didn't happen.
So far it was like she had very little to say. Wanting to keep him in the dark maybe? All for reasons he didn't quite get or wasn't trying to get. That was also another idea. Perhaps things weren't as they appeared. She had to be hiding from someone rather then just hiding cause of the daily school drama. It seemed worse. But not that Takuya knew about any of that stuff he ignored most of it when it happened. "Nice to meet you Elaina." He still smiled as he spoke. This wasn't something most were used to.
They didn't like him constantly smiling. It was annoying in some form, and he could tell that it was. Not that he complained. Let them think what they actually wanted around him. Takuya had his friends, very few but he had them anyway. "Oh avoid the bell? Well there are other ways to do that. Let's make this room a bit lighter huh..." Slipping his hands around on the wall he tried to find some light switch.
Anything to turn the lights on. Or make it lighter. If there wasn't any maybe he could use fire. Though that wasn't a good idea in the school. The wolf wasn't completely a fan of fire either. Not that he remembered much of his past but he knew for a fact he wasn't that open to fire. It scared him more then he might admit. He didn't seem to even think twice or question if she was telling the truth.
It wasn't his place to ask. It had never been. Nothing would make him think differently. Not even if she tried to tell him too. "Well want to get out of here?" It was a thought soon all the students would be in class and they could slip out unnoticed. Or so he hoped. | |

The smile in his expression was like the sun, causing her to narrow her eyes due to its close proximity. He seemed like a nice guy, at least with all the smiling. Though Elaina wondered if he was just wearing a mask to get through the day. He seemed like the popular type, easy to talk to, with lots of friends of course. Maybe he's even on a sports team, or better yet more then one. If he has a girlfriend, which the chances are high considering how pleasant his personality seems, then she's probably really pretty as he is handsome. She's most likely just as popular too. Short and feminine, her personality is probably a bit shy to allow a bit of mystery.
This entire back story was developing in Elaina's mind while she watched the young man, observed his features. It was a bit ridiculous, but she always did this upon meeting someone for the first time; though not nearly in this much detail. It was a bit comical how she could feel herself getting jealous over his girlfriend whom she'd created in her mind, for reasons she wasn't entirely sure of. She just met this guy, and knew nothing about him but a name. Elaina settled on the fact that she wasn't getting much social interaction, as the main reason she was suddenly feeling 'jealous'. It made sense when she thought about it over in her mind.
Her shoulders slowly relaxed as he turned on the lights in the space. Violet hues glancing up at him, her scowl had also faded. It seemed with that action alone she was already feeling much better. Her tears had all but dried up, though a faint trace of redness around her lids and in her cheeks still hinted at her release of emotion. As Takuya asked if she wanted to leave however her heart sank and she mildly panicked at the suggestion. "N-no wait!" She blurted out, her hands holding onto the strap of her bag as if she were about to be mugged. Elaina hoped to stop him before he opened the closet door. She was paranoid, and didn't wanna walk around just in case that guy was out there. Not to mention that if he saw her chances are he'd be skipping class too.
"I-I'd much rather stay in here.." Her tone had lowered to a normal speaking level. "Please don't open the door." Her voice was a near whisper this time, realizing she could have screwed them over if someone had been outside the closet at the moment of her panic. "I'm sorry." She was embarrassed, but more so felt bad because this kid was basically being forced to stay in here with her and who knows if he has claustrophobia or not. He didn't appear to have any anxiety symptoms, but it still made her feel bad that she was basically telling this guy that he couldn't leave without her permission. This day was really not cracking up to what she'd thought it would be. |

Losing your memory - - - - * Call all your friends Tell them I'm never coming back. Cause this is the end Pretend that you want it, don't react The damage is done. The police are coming too slow now. I would have died I would have loved you all my life" Takuya didn't know what to do really. He only showed just how happy he had always been, nothing could change that. Nothing would either. Couldn't make him fake to be something else just so that would make someone happy. It also seemed like it wouldn't please Elaina with how her attitude was. She needed to laugh, if anything would make her laugh. Takuya ran a hand through his black hair thinking of how to make her laugh, or at least cheer up a little bit. He didn't know what had upset her to begin with after all.
As if she would even tell him. Holding back a sigh he just washed her closely. Only hoping she wouldn't run away. Or get angry with him for being too close. Some girls really didn't like that at all. Which shouldn't have surprised him that much either. Takuya didn't know much about girls in general, it was so weird. He hadn't exactly had a girlfriend and not like sharing a room with Raimo would count for anything. He happened to be a male after all.
Social interaction just had that air of difficulty about it. One he wasn't quite sure what to do with, as if he tried. It wouldn't bug him in the long run. Takuya only wished she would cheer up. Anything to prevent her from suddenly being so tense or out of it. Blinking at her response he tilted his head to one side. What did she mean? She really wanted to stay here? What for it was a bit creepy." Okay if you say so. No rush on leaving really." Basically that was how he saw it. Letting his hand fall from the door he picked not to open it.
Let her stay in the dark with him a little longer. It wasn't as if they were going to do much of anything wrong. One might think anyway. She only seemed to whisper to him, instead of speaking as she should. "don't worry about it let's just stay here for a bit." It did seem simple enough. Elaina might not mind him so much if she learned to trust him. Which was something he wanted.
Shaking his head he didn't seem to pay attention to the tone in her voice, or what she was saying. Her apology wasn't needed after all. | |

His reaction to her random request made her feel worse. Mentally the girl pressed her palms to her face, 'Dear god you really screwed up this time.' Elaina watched him feeling terrible. Slowly she unfurled again, her hands releasing the now crinkled strap of her bag and hesitantly resting against her bent legs. She was making a terrible impression. A really horrid, awful impression. Really she wasn't like this all the time, she really wanted to let him know that but wasn't entirely sure what to say with the atmosphere suddenly feeling so awkward to her. She knew he was giving in to her emotions and it completely took her by surprise. No one ever listened to her before. This was new! Elaina cleared her throat trying to relax from her previous fear of that guy being in the hall. She was 'safe' in here, and it wasn't like she was alone.
She didn't flinch this time as he moved around and got comfortable. This was a good sign. "Look I'm not usually like this. I'm not a freak I swear." She said, trying not to sound defensive though it hinted in her tone. Why did she care what he thought of her anyway? It had nothing to do with the fact that he was really handsome of course. NOT AT ALL. "There's just this guy I've been trying to avoid. He's a psycho and I don't trust that he wouldn't skip class too if he just wanted to pick on me." The girl admitted. She realized that she'd basically told him that what she said before about just wanting to miss the bell was partially a lie, but surely he'd understand. The only reason she was explaining now was so he would be able to make sense of her reaction without her seeming like SHE was the crazy one.
"Sorry for dragging you into this." Elaina muttered, knowing that he was probably confused and annoyed with her already. Who wouldn't be? She was a complete mess. At least now she was talking, this was a huge improvement from her shy silence moments before. |

I would have died I would have loved you all my life" Humans were just so strange to the wolf. He had to keep what he was a secret or he'd be curling up next to her. Just resting his head on her lap. Something that a human dog might actually end up doing. Takuya only seemed to be focused on the area around him. Glancing at everything in this small space. Not like there was even enough room for the wolf to stretch out. His form wasn't exactly a small one now was it? Not that Elaina needed to know this.
Right now he could only smile. Try to make her feel comfortable if he could even manage that. The school day would go on without them, and Takuya would just say he was sick or something. Or something had come up. She hadn't been feeling well either so it could work out in his favor for the most part. Raising his head again his eyes focused on her, curiosity obvious in them. Elaina didn't flinch? Was he making progress. One could only hope so. "I know. Don't worry about it though.." So what had done this?
If she wasn't usually this way right. Guys and girls could be so weird, he knew that much. He got weird looks a lot just because of the things Takuya did sometimes. Like sitting in the closet with another girl out of the blue like this. "Who is it? Guys shouldn't pick on anyone...it's. Well I don't need to finish that, but he won't be able to find you." Or at least he hoped so. Right now he would be lying if he said he was sure.
He only shook his head again and leaned back against the wall. Really it didn't matter to him. "It's fine..." No words other then that and he was back to trying to focus again. Anything else would probably just get him into trouble. | |

Was he uncomfortable or was it just her? Elaina watched his expression reading it for any traces of frustration or some other negative emotion, but he just looked...curious. Maybe it was just her then. "Well..I didn't get a name." She replied, sounding a bit disappointed in herself. Elaina knew it wasn't good enough to just point someone off and say it was him, she needed a name but had no way of obtaining it unless she were to ask him herself. No way that was gonna happen, and it wasn't as if she knew if he had any friends. Surely she wouldn't want to mess with whatever sort of company he shared anyway. "He had blonde hair though," she continued, as if to prove that she wasn't just making it up, "and this stupid little crown." Her eyes narrowed thinking about it. The crown wasn't something she'd focused on while he was chasing her, though it wasn't hard to miss even in dim lighting.
Snapping out of her thought, she looked up at Takuya expression softening. "Have you ever seen someone like that before?" She inquired, voice gentle and curious herself. Usually guys knew about other guys, so asking him may yield more results then asking a stranger. Elaina waited for him to respond then, hoping he'd be able to give her some information. Even though she didn't like that crazy guy at all, it would give her a slight advantage if she knew his name. Elaina couldn't agree more with Takuya about bullying. If she could stop him from bullying other people she would. |

I would have died I would have loved you all my life" He wasn't like other people. Barely showing any frustration he might have, Takuya liked to mask it. Smiling at her he could only just wait. See what she was going to do. Not that any of his thoughts were even important at this point. It might only be getting Takuya into a lot of trouble. Making Raimo angry? As if that would ever happen, he had a feeling Raimo still didn't like him. Maybe his overly cheerful attitude had something to do with that. Couldn't be anything else in his mind. Now the boy needed to focus on other matters, whatever might be going through her head.
Even if it wasn't a whole lot that he could understand. He had always been told he was slightly airhead like. Or just didn't worry about things as often as people thought he should. "Oh well no worries then." Takuya wasn't even disappointed. For some it would be easier to work with this way, if she didn't get a name now it was just a matter of distracting her. Keeping her from thinking of that. If he could at all.
Takuya could only tilt his head and wonder why she sounded so disappointed in not knowing. It might not be so bad to not know the guy's name. But if she did, it would be easier to avoid him. Only speaking from past experiences of course. "Blonde hair and a stupid crown? No I have not...or I just don't remember. But it's probably more of the first one." Or at least he thought so.
"I might have run into him before....in a class." It was a thought, they were both probably Supernatural creatures. Sighing lightly he moved against the wall not getting close enough to make her uncomfortable. It probably wouldn't help all that much. Why did she have to worry about what that man would do to her? He was just another stupid but maybe Takuya needed to find this person. | |

"Oh.." She replied, a faint sigh escaping her as she stared down at her knees feeling low with disappointment. She couldn't expect Takuya to know her bully, even if he was the popular type. Though maybe not knowing was a good thing? Despite mulling that thought over in her mind, Elaina couldn't entirely see how it made a difference. If that idiot wanted to pick on her again he'd find her. It wasn't like this school was THAT big, there were only so many places to hide; janitor closets excluded. However, despite this disappointing news, there was one good thing that came out of her anxiety and paranoia this afternoon. She met someone normal.
Elaina glanced over at Takuya shyly as he continued, a faint grin curling the corners of her lips slightly upward. She wasn't sure if he was just saying that last bit for her sake, or if it was genuine, but it made her feel a like he cared which did a lot to her subconscious. "Are you popular around here?" She asked, her question seemingly derailing from the previous subject though she'd been curious the entire time he'd been in the closet with her. "You're just..really nice." An airy laugh escaped the girl, hinting at her melancholy. "You must have a lot of friends." Slowly her smile faded, her hands fussing with the hem of her skirt as she looked away from him.
What it must be like to have friends. Elaina and her family had been moving around so often recently, the last friend she had was years ago; when exactly she couldn't entirely remember. Though she'd always seen other people amongst groups of their friends. Whether it was around school, or in town, she couldn't help but envy someone with others to talk to besides family. She had no one but a brother to confide in, her parents to busy with their own problems. Last time she talked to her sibling they hadn't been on good terms. This forced her to keep everything to herself all the time, and it got really taxing after a while. She may come off as a loner to most, and Elaina really quite preferred to have a couple of close friends, but being completely alone was never something she wanted. Her expression had gone dismal again. She could feel a lump in her throat but didn't do much to hold it back. It was as if she were in the closet all by herself again. She was zoning out. |
