You'll find Fuukoku Hachino-sensei's sign-up on the first post. He is a universal character, so we can all roleplay as him, but I'll inform you if you make him too OOC. ^^;;
Bascially, if you keep him uninterested in everything, you'll keep him in character. xDD

OOC: Ooh, universal character, sounds great. =D
Haruka smiled, “I’m Asazaki Haruka and I play the clarinet. I believe that playing only one instrument will force one to put one’s whole attention on it and master it completely.” She bowed and then looked up, “Of course, I’ve already mastered it.”
Since she already knew ahead of time everyone’s names, when they were introducing each other, she was thinking about the music again. The rhythm and notes were in her mind wishing to push their selves out of her head already.
“Well, since the introductions are done, can we know the theme for the first selection already? I’d like to practice it as soon as possible,” Haruka said. Then she looked at Seiji, “Oh and before I forget, congratulations for getting into the concours.” As she expected, he wasn’t a bad guy so again, in her book, he was okay.
Turning to face the Futari siblings she said, “Since I wasn’t able to hear you guys play before, I never knew your levels. Certainly, this will mean we’re rivals now so I won’t go easy on you two either.”
Smiling, her eyes landed on Ruika, “Prodigy, I hope you haven’t forgotten about our rematch. Well, either way, I’m going to take you down for sure this time.”
Lastly, she said to Alex, who was standing next to Ruika, “I just wish you’ll be able to beat your cousin one day and step out of her shadow. It’s a pity to see you in this state. No matter what others say about your level in the musical world, I just can’t take anything seriously with you acting the way you are acting now.”
Haruka sighed and looked at the clock. They spent a good amount of time introducing themselves, that’s for sure. It would really mess up her schedule for practicing but she was glad she said what she wanted to say to the participants.

Hachino-sensei folded his arm and shrugged, "No." He said in answer to Haruka's question as to if he would tell them the theme. He opened his mouth to say more, but got lazy and decided not to, pulling out a piece of paper, "So we'll be going to the villa next week- so that we can all practice as much as we want without school getting in the way. Come if you want, don't come if you don't want to, I don't really care, but the school wants you to come."
Mizuki blinked and leaned back, "Why can't you tell us the theme?"
Hachino-sensei waved the question away, "I don't feel like it."
Kei twitched visibly, annoyed by Hachino-sensei's lazy attitude, a vein pop emerging big and red on the side of his forehead. Seiji, however, smiled and sweatdropped, disappointed that they wouldn't be hearing the theme of the first concur's.
"If you want to know," Hachino-sensei twirled his pen with his long fingers, "I'll probably tell you at the villa. If you don't come, have fun guessing what the theme is."
<i>'Probably...'</i> Both Kei and Mizuki thought simultaneously as Hachino-sensei began to whistle.
He stopped short and looked around, "You can leave, you know that right?"
Mizuki stood up first dashing out of the room. Seiji gathered his things and stood, "I'm glad I could meet you all!" He smiled and left as well, needing to get home and practice for Sunday's Performance. As for Kei? Well, he sat still just a little longer, staring warily at Haruka who had just claimed him and his sister her rival. What, did she walk around claiming this person and that person was her rival?
Who cared???

Ruika sighed as she waved her hand slightly up and down while she saying, her tone sounded a bit bored, "Yeah, yeah~ I haven't forgotten, Haruka-san." She stopped waving her hand and continued, a more serious tone this time. "What I said last night, when I criticized you, which I know that you didn't believe me, but I still say it's true."
When Haruka turned her attention to Alexei and said, "I just wish you'll be able to beat your cousin one day and step out of her shadow. It's a pity to see you in this state. No matter what others say about your level in the musical world, I just can't take anything seriously with you acting the way you are acting now.", that pissed him off, but somehow kept a calm look on his face. He's heard people tell him that before and he always got so~ pissed off when people told him that. If he showed that he was pissed off, it'd be exactly what she'd want.
Alexei replied in a blunt and serious tone. "Whatever. That may be true, but, you're lacking in the same area as well. I, at least realize it." Though, it's strange that Ruika mentioned before that I sounded so much better on saxophone and can easily express my emotions. I wonder why...
Ruika knew that what Haruka had said did piss Alexei off, but he didn't blow up, like he usually would, and that surprised her. For once, he's not acting childish. Wonder if he's actually beginning to realize what I told him back then..? Well, better late, then never. I really don't think Haruka's gonna even change, so why bother even try... Geez~ these introductions took a lot longer than I thought. What a bore... this part was total deja vu of virtually every competition I've been in.
When Hachino-sensei mentioned that he wasn't going to reveal the theme yet and they weren't gonna find out until the following week, it bother Ruika, but, she had to admit that Hachino-sensei was indeed different from every other music teacher who was in charge of a competition, and that made life more interesting. Alexei didn't really care if he had to wait a week to find out what the theme was, but he could use the extra time to practice his viola, which he hadn't really touched in the last two weeks.

Hearing Alex’s reply, she said simply with a shrug, “Well, since you love giving me advices and warnings so much, I just thought you’d take advices when they’re given to you.” Then she gritted her teeth, “But…wow, that’s some comment you’re throwing back at me. I’m no one’s shadow so I have no idea what you’re talking about. I am independent and strong-willed so we’re very different. Please don’t lump me with you.”
She turned away from him and looked at the teacher just to hear him reply “no” and told them that they were to stay in a villa next week so that they could practice a lot without school interrupting them. That was definitely good news for Haruka. She didn’t have to balance her school work and practice time anymore. The only thing she wasn’t too fond of was the fact that Hachino-sensei was going to tell them the theme then which was bad because she wanted to know ahead of time.
When the music teacher told everyone they could leave already, she watched as Mizuki exited first, followed by Seiji. Ruika and Alex left soon after. Haruka gathered her things and noticed Kei was staring warily at her. She just smiled confidently at him and then walked out.
The first thing she did when she arrived home was run to her room and sit down on her chair. She opened her drawer to take out another box of reeds. Opening the case, she began to put her clarinet together again and start practicing. When she slammed the case shut, she couldn’t help but glance at the photo on her desk top so she picked it up.
A boy with dark purple hair and hazel eyes was seen in the picture with a younger version of Haruka with her arms wrapped around his. The background was of a sunny day out in the park with birds around them. Both of their smiles showed how much fun they had when they photo was taken.
Haruka smiled as memories came racing back to her. Putting the clarinet case down with one hand, she leaned back on her chair and stared at picture. “Hiro…life is so bitter without you but I’ll never forget what you told me before you left me that day…to always have confidence and to never give up no matter how impossible something is to accomplish,” she laughed a bit, “But you also said you’d be back soon…so where are you now? It’s already been six years…”
She bit her lip and forced herself to look away from the photo before tears could pour out. Still…no matter what, I know you’ll come back to me so I’ll wait. When you come back, I’ll show you how much more confident I’ve became. I’ll become victorious, trust me.

When they left the room, Alexei and Ruika barely said anything to each other for the rest of the day and when they both got home, Ruika noticed that the gate was locked.
"Hm? Wierd, thought the gate would be unlocked. Guess Mom and Dad left already."
"Guess so~."
When they got inside their house, they put down their stuff in the living room. Both of them had to practice, even if it was just casual practice as they had to prepare for the concours. Picking up her violin case, Ruika asked, "Mind if I borrow the practice room for a while?"
"No. We DO have more than one in the house." was Alexei's cold reply.
"True, but this one has the grand piano."
She started to walk towards that room when Alexei asked her another question.
"Why is it that you don't play in public anymore? Is it just because of your hand? You play violin just fine even though your right hand was shattered eight years ago."
With her back still facing him, she bit her lip before replying to his question with a bitter tone.
"Idiot. You don't realize that even though I can play violin, I have trouble playing the piano to my full ability as my hand tends to cramp up or I feel pain when I try to play harder pieces. Just looking at a piano gives me bad memories."
"So why touch it still?"
Ruika was sick of Alexei prying questions, so she coldly answered, "I wanna compose something. That's the only reason I touch the damn thing anymore. Okay~?"
As she was walking towards the room, she noticed a photograph on the wall. When she took a closer look, it was a picture of a family -- her family when they were still alive. She and her older brother Yuri, who was two years older, looked like twins as he was a little shorter than the average five year old. Both of them clearly got a majorty of their appearence traits from their mother (black hair, slender frame, most of their basic facial features), but the eyes were clearly their father's, as well as his personality traits. Ruika was always the harsher and hyper one of the two, so Yuri was the more reserved, yet goofy one. She smiled slightly at the picture before walking again.
When she got into the room, closing the door behind her, she placed her violin case next to the piano bench before sitting on the piano bench. She opened the keyboard lid ((A/N: Dunno the exact name since I don't play piano. XP)) and glanced at the keys for a moment. Looking at the keys, it didn't make her remember a sad memory, but rather, reminded her of when her father was teaching her how to play and how she adored his playing. And of when she would play duets (her playing violin and him playing piano or both playing piano) with her older brother.
Dad... it's been so long since I've heard you and Mom play together. I miss those days so~ much. It's been thirteen years since you three died. Life has been so different without you three around. And Yuri... no matter how idiotic you were at times, you always calmed down around the piano, and whenever when we did duets together, no wonder we were called the "Prodigy Duo;" we were both prodigies, but you always said I was the better player as I could learn everything so rapidly, even more so than you, but I wondered a lot after you died if that was true. I wonder.. if you were alive, what would you say to me? Would you be proud? Would you be mad? Or sad with the person I've become? How 'bout you, Mom, Dad? What would you two say...?

OOC: The cover? xDD; I've never been for that lingo either, but I believe it doesn't have much of a name other then 'the cover'. xD It's not the keyboard cover though, because a keyboard refers to the cheap plastic stuff that stands on plastic rods. :x
IC: Kei stood up and suddenly remembered what Mizuki had been nagging him about all day. It was amazing, how people could forget the one thing they heard the most. Hachino-sensei had already gone off to band practice, and Kei was left standing where he was. Kei pushed him his chair and shoved his hands into his pockets, trudging slowly down the empty halls as he stared out the windows at the school bells absentmindedly.
He sighed and removed one of his hands, scratching the back of his head lazily as he muttered to himself, "Oh well." He'd apologize the next time he remembered.
He stopped short and blinked. It was just finally sinking in. Him. Futari Kei. Was participating in the concur's. He slapped his forehead and hissed through grit teeth, "Crap!!"
To be honest, he hadn't touched his b-flat, c, or alto flute in at least two weeks. In fact, he rarely remembered where they were. Maybe in the music room, or the library. Kei sighed and decided he'd better go home and practice. If he was in it, he might as well put some effort in. Effort. How troublesome.
He was silent on the ride home, as always. The chaffuer knew better then to say anything when his young master was staring out the window, instead of at a book or at the seat in front of him. And so the ride passed with only the low hum of the engine passing their ears, and when they arrived home, Mizuki was already in the music room, directing a servant to carefully dust and wash her harp, which hadn't been touched for quite some time either.
Kei pulled out his flute and glanced at his selection of head joints. He had swan neck, but he decided against that. They looked ugly and your posture turned loose. A straight headjoint would be best for the actual concur's, but a vertical neck would be good for practice, since he wouldn't tire as easily. Putting the three pieces together, Kei pressed down thumb, pinky, and two index fingers and blew a clean B-flat concert. The tone was clear and the tuner said it was just a tad sharp. Pulling out the headjoint a millimeter, Kei tried again. Satisfied, he turned off the tuner and left for the library, leaving Mizuki just as she was preparing to play a set of etude's.
He sat down and pulled out his favorite piece- Chimes of Moscow. It was a slow, haunting piece. And he always kept his eyes open while playing it, unlike usual, where he would find his eyes drooping in boredom. The piece was simple, and served as a good warm-up after the chromatic scale, up and down.
"That sounds very nice Kei-kun." Kei stopped playing immediately, lifting his lip away from the flute as he spun around to see exactly what he'd expected. Forest green eyes with jet black hair, tanned skin and a kind, genuine smile.
"Aniki!" Kei stood up immediately, "I wasn't aware that you were visiting us!"
"Visiting?" Haruno laughed, "You make me feel like a stranger!"
"A-Ah, do I?? I'm sorry!" Kei stammered, embarassed that he was dressed so casually in front of his older brother, in whom he had been reared to treat as if an idol, a leader, a god.
"It's alright. You can keep playing, Mizuki kicked me out of the music room." Haruno laughed, sweatdropping. Kei couldn't help but take note that his older brother was wearing a crisp suit, while he... was wearing a lame sleeveless print T-shirt with a pair of slim-fit black jeans.
"O-Oh okay." Kei sat back down, and blew a b-flat again to tune up the flute. He found it extremely difficult to play in front of his older brother, who hadn't ever learned an instrument before. Sure he could play 'mary-had-a-little-lamb' on the black keys of a piano, but that was just about it. Kei pulled out a less slow and daunting piece, as it was well known in the family that Haruno preferred circus like tunes.
And so, Kei resigned himself to playing Proud Spirit, and songs similar, and pausing in between songs to converse with his Aniki, who congratulated him on making the concur's.
And so, Kei resigned himself to secretly sulking his butt off after his Aniki uttered the last sentence before he played Gospel John.
"I'll be sure to attend the concur's- You'll do a great job Kei-kun, I'm sure!"

((Ah, alright. ^^ Well, like I said, I wasn't sure, but anywho~ you get the basic idea, I guess. XP))
Ruika began to play on the piano and before she knew it, she was composing a new piece. She never wrote her pieces down on paper until she was done playing it out on the actual piano first, but that was never a problem, as with her memory, she could just memorized it so she could write it down -- note for note later on. This piece had a bittersweet feeling towards it, reflecting on her life as a whole. Her emotion flowed through the piece as she was composing it in her head as she was playing. Through it all, the piece, though bittersweet, was played very gently and with grace. She played for around seven to eight minutes when she suddenly felt a jolt of pain coming from her right hand, which caused her to stop and flinch from the pain.
"Owww~" Ruika mumbled softly, yet angerly while staring at her right hand.
Damn it... this is why I can't play in public. It doesn't matter if it sounds good; if my hand's like this, there's no way I could play hard pieces. My hand cramps even sooner if I play faster or harder pieces. Stupid hand...
After a few minutes, Ruika decided to play once more; this time playing a piece that she remember her father playing for her and Yuri -- Beethoveen's Midnight Sonata. It was a slow and was mostly a gentle piece, so she didn't have to worry too much about her hand cramping or anything of the sort. She was happy that the walls were soundproof so she could play without anyone seeing or hearing her. When she was done, she decided that she could work on the piece that she was composing earlier at another time, so she wouldn't kill her poor right hand.
She then decided to play her violin for a little bit, playing Vivaldi's Concerto No. 6 in C major, RV 180 "Ll piacere" - Allegro and she was ready to play when she heard someone knocking on the glass. Irritated, she put her violin down in her case and walked to the door. When she got to the door, she saw Takuya smiling and waving at her. She clearly had a frown on her face and ended up sighing. She opened the door and Takuya said with a smile, "Congrats on getting into the concours~! I knew you'd get in, Ruika-chan."
"Thanks." was her calm reply.
He smirked. "Heh, Alex got in too. Bet he's kinda pissed off since I kinda made him sign up."
"Really? Even though you know he hates most classical music and hates competitions like these?"
"Yep," he nodded. "I don't care if he wins, but he really should do something out of his comfort zone every once in a while."
"You realize he WILL get his revenge on you somehow, right?"
"Yeah, and that's where I need your help."
Ruika didn't like where this was going and had a bad feeling about it. "Oh~ no. I don't wanna get involved. This is YOUR problem, not mine. Deal with it yourself and face Alex yourself."
The moment she mentioned Alexei's name, he just appeared right behind Takuya. "Speak of the devil..."
Takuya turned around and faced a serious looking Alexei.
"Um, hey~ Alex! How are ya?" He said nervously.
"How am I doing? Just dandy. Damn it, Kuya. You OWE me big time for this. You KNOW I HATE things like these, and YET, you STILL made me sign up." Alexei wasn't yelling at Takuya per se, but he was definitely pissed off.
"Okay, I'm gonna leave you two alone. I want to practice." Ruika said meekly. And with that, she closed the door. She picked up her violin and began to play Vivaldi's Concerto No. 6 in C major, RV 180 "Ll piacere" - Allegro. Her playing sounded as well as she usually was, but at the same time, she could help but think of her parents and Yuri.

OOC: So does anyone else have anything else to do before the villa?
If so, speak now, or forever hold your peace.

"Ehhh, so, we're all here? Good." Hachino-sensei didn't even bother to take attendence. It was easy to see that we were indeed, all here. 6 heads- everyone was present. But knowing Hachino-sensei, he probably hadn't even taken the time to count heads.
The bus was lined with teal colored seats on the sides, much like the buses that you found at the airport that took you from place to place. While Hachino-sensei sat in the very front reading a book that was seemingly blank on the front and back, Kei sat in the back, reading a book that looked as if it had gone through Mizuki's paint stash and back. And, in fact, it had. Originally, the book had had large bold letters spelled 'COMPELLED', but no longer. It was now covered in bright orange, white, and black paint spatters.
"Affirmative, Captain!" Mizuki talking to the driver, her hand folded against her forehead, acting as a visor, "Villa within radar!"
The driver laughed as the tall bus turned into the cobblestone driveway of a fair-sized villa. On this fine sunny day, Mizuki had donned a navy blue tank top that was long enough to reach just below her rear-end, covered in small paint splatters near the bottom, accompanied by a pair of flared light blue bleached jeans, her usual wrist warmer replaced with another collection of bracelets to even out the group on her other wrist. And, as usual, her older brother was dressed much plainer then her, in a pair of kahki cargo shorts and a white sleeveless shirt, accompanied by a pair of brown flip-flops.
"Yay!" Mizuki was the first to speed off the bus, her black converse skidding along the cobblestone, leaving Kei to grab her checkered backpack, along with his own black one.
"What, am I your slave now?" He muttered to himself sarcastically, his flute tucked safely under his arm.

Alexei and Ruika met up with everyone the day they were all going to the villa so they can practice without having to worry about school work. It seemed like a vacation in a way to both Ruika and Alexei as neither have really been out in the countryside in quite some time. Ruika was wearing a white tank-top under an unbuttoned, short sleeved, blue button-up shirt with a denim mini skirt and black flip flops. She also had on the same dolphin necklace with the tiny diamond for its eye from when she had that music duel against Haruka and also had two plain sliver chain bracelets on her right wrist. Alexei, as usual, was wearing something pretty casual too. His outfit consisted of a black, sleveeless shirt, a pair of brown cutoff shorts, and brown sandals.
On the bus, Ruika sat in one of the seats in the back that was closer to the window. She took out her sketchbook and started to draw something on the paper. It looked like another pic of her and Yuri, but their parents were also in it, unlike the last one. She really didn't know why she kept drawing pictures of her and her family, all of which were pictures from thirteen years back, when they were all still alive... maybe it had something to do with the anniversary of their deaths drawing ever so closer. Besides her violin, a rare one at that, which was a memento from her mother, she had a few pictures, but not too many, sadly enough.
Alexei sat in the back row, a row in front of where Kei was sitting. During the whole trip, Alexei was pretty much listening to music and idly staring out the window. He wondered if this trip was going to be boring in the overall sense. Beside practicing, what else was there to do? He didn't mind practicing, but practicing all the time seemed pointless, not to mention stressing your body out, if you weren't careful.
When they got there, Ruika put her sketchbook into her bag, while Alexei still had his headphones on. They both followed after Mizuki off the bus after getting their belongings. When they got off, Alexei glanced around the area while Ruika took a look at the villa itself.
Reminds me of our old summer house before my parents and Yuri died. It's a bit smaller than ours was, but has the same basic look.

Kei paused before entering, his backpack slung over his shoulder with Mizuki's toted in his hand. For some unexplainable reason, Kei wasn't really looking forward to having as much time to practice as he wanted. Practicing made him think. Sighing and shaking his head, Kei entered the villa, dropping Mizuki's backpack next to the door and grabbing his flute from underneath his arm.
"Hachino-sensei," He called, "Where are our rooms?"
Hachino-sensei was currently pulling out his own belongings, and he shrugged, "I don't know."
"HEY ONII-CHAN!" Kei flinched, "LOOK AT THIS!!"
He sighed, and trudged up the stairs, following the rather loud voice of his younger sister. When he arrived, she looked positively terrified, "Kei-chan, is this... our rooms?!"
Kei peered into the room she was pointing at and deducted why she was freaking out. For one, it was possibly three times smaller then her own room at home, and for two, it had two beds which implied sharing, and for three, the rooms were very very plain.
"Yeah, I'd imagine." Kei sighed.
"We have to share???" Mizuki cried, her face turning blue.
"Yeah, I guess so." Kei opened the door to another room and threw his backpack on the farthest bed, lying his flute case on the dresser before turning around, "There are four rooms though, one of us can have our own room."
"Yep." Hachino-sensei agreed, walking into the fourth room and closing it behind him with the definitive sound of a lock.
"Well. I guess that settles that." Kei sighed.
"B-B-B-But!" Mizuki blubbered, "There are three girls, and three guys- that means there's gonna be one transgendered room!"
Kei raised an eyebrow, "No. Really?" He spat sarcastically, "Listen, I really don't care, so long as you stay far away from my room, I'm all good."
Mizuki stuck out her tongue, "I feel SORRY for the person who's rooming with a disgusting person like YOU."
Kei turned around, "I'll have you know that I am much cleaner in my habits then you. Watch your mouth or Mother'll hear about this."
"Fink." Mizuki hissed before escaping into the room she'd been fretting over, leaving Kei to find a different way to vent his frustration.
Seiji, who had witnessed the whole thing from the hallway, was sweatdropping as he tried to find a solution, "Well, I wouldn't mind rooming with a girl, but if I roomed with Mizuki-san, then Novikov-san and Asazaki-senpai would have to room together."
"No." Kei snapped flatly, "For one, Ruika and Asazaki would not be a pretty combination, for two, I'm not having Mizuki room with a guy. It'll be more dangerous for the guy then Mizuki, but still."
Seiji sweatdropped, "O-Okay, then, how about Asazaki-senpai rooms with Mizuki-san, Novikov-san rooms with Alexei-san, and I room with you?"
Kei narrowed an eye at the chinese boy, who began to freak out.
"O-O-Or we could not!" Seiji stammered quickly.
Kei sighed heavily, "I don't care anymore. As long as I don't get STUCK with Lady Arrogant, Miss PMS, or Queen Drama." He slammed the door behind him.
Seiji blinked, sweatdropping again, "Who're they? Asazaki-senpai, Novikov-san, and Mizuki-san??"
OOC: Lady Arrogant = Haruka
Miss PMS = Mizuki
Queen Drama = Ruika
Kei will be using these terms to refer to everyone when he's in a bad mood, so feel free to make your character offended, or whatever. xD (He's so mean. xD)
I was waiting for Rella to post, but she didn't seem like she'd be posting anytime soon, so yeah. Anyhow, I don't care about rooming, and let's remember there's a couch in the living room if it really comes down to that. < <;;
(It seems like the one who's PMSing is Kei, eh? xDD)

((Yeah, I was too, but ah well. And yeah, he DOES seem like HE's the one PMSing~ XD; Even Alexei hasn't gotten THAT pissed off yet he has a fiery temper. XP))
"Lovely..." mumbled Ruika. "I could really care less who I room with as long as they don't piss me off. I don't have a preference who I'd want to room with, so whoever I end up room up, I suppose it's all alright."
When he heard Kei call her 'Queen Drama', Mizuki 'Miss PMS,' and Haruka 'Lady Arrogant,' Ruika smirked and chuckled a little. She still might not have been fond of Kei, but he was indeed interesting.
Queen Drama huh? That's something new. Not exactly fond of it, but whatever. I'm so used to this stuff that I'm virtually apathetic to it. I probably won't end up room with Kei anyway, but I really don't care in the end. Even if I don't like them, you've got to learn to just suck it up and get through it, Kei. It's only a week, how bad could it be?
"By the way, Seiji, calling me 'Novikov-san' sounds a bit strange, only since I'm not used to it, and I hate formalities in general. Ruika's enough."
Alexei only heard half of what Hachino-sensei was saying as he still had his headphones. Even though he only heard half, he DID hear about the rooming arrangements. Like Ruika, he could care less who he roomed with -- guy or girl, he didn't care. Alexei though wouldn't be uber thrilled if he had to room with Haruka or Ruika though. Out of all of them, he didn't really seem to like Haruka the most. He wasn't really fond of everyone else anyway, though Seiji seemed to be the exception as he didn't know him too well, nor did something to piss him off. Though he and Ruika are cousins, he didn't want to room with her as she has a somewhat odd sleeping habit. It wasn't anything embarrassing or kinky, but still...
"Alex, what do you think about the rooming arrangements?"
"Hm?" was his initial reaction as Ruika was poking his arm, so he took out one of his headphones before replying. "What do I think? As long as I'm not rooming with you, which you already know the reason... remember?"
"Oh yeah..." Ruika said with a slight smile yet was sighing.
"And Haruka. I don't care otherwise. Though I'd rather room with you than her if I HAD to choose between the two of you."
((Don't you guys think we should just be evil and room them with people we KNOW they don't wanna room with? I'll find it definitely funny, indeed. XD And I <3 torturing my charas for the heck of it, what about you guys?))
