[After School]
Hibiki He couldn't see anything in the windows, it had rained all last night, and the fog still hadn't completely faded yet. Of course, the school windows being blue didn't help much.
It was one of the few days of the week he didn't have work or a club meeting, and Makoto already went to the movie theater with her friends, so that ruled out meeting with her.
He looked around a bit, then started pacing back and forth along the hallway. There had to be something to do around here.
If nothing particularly interesting happened soon, he'd just go out for ramen.

*Sips tea from can* "... Cold."Why was she drinking iced tea right at the beginning of winter? It was tasty, that's why. ...Didn't stop her from shivering slightly with each sip though. But meh. She glanced at the label. ' Dokka En' it said, in big black bold letters over the green aluminium can. Huh. Not bad. Still had a tad too much sugar for her taste though. She shrugged her thoughts off when an student came her way and put away the can to face him, pamphlets in hand. "Hi! Can I interest you in some fine japanese cuisine?" She flashed her profissional smile in his direction. "We're about to receive a huge stock of fresh fish, so we are giving a discount to anyone who visits our sushi bar the first week of the coming month!"She flashed him a pamphlet. It was a simple, small white sheet. The propaganda on it had been obviously hand-made and, though it was obvious that it was a copy of the original work, it was neatly done. It showed the drawing of a manekineko, but the animal was holding a fish instead of a golden plate. Like the drawing, the restaurant's name had also seemingly been done with a brush and nankin, the traditional way. It said Hideyoshi's and below that Fine sushi since 1954. At the bottom of the sheet was the restaurant's adress and phone in small letters written in the same way, though much smaller. "Oh, there is a menu on the other side." I quickly added making the student turn it around, revealing said menu decorated with a beautiful photo of the dishes. "Drop by if it interests you, okay? Thank you...!"He left. "Okay, so, how many left now? Twenty something?" The cloudy sky thundered outside "I sure hope I can finish this before it rains..." I frowned, looking outside. Luckly, there was another student nearby. "Hm... Hello!" I walked up to him. I bowed my neck slightly, though it was obvious that he was one year behind me due to the color of his uniform's tie. Well, let's be professional "Say, don't you think that good traditional japanese food is really pricey nowadays? We students barely have any money for that stuff...!" I handed him a pamphlet "Well, worry not! Our sushi bar is giving a huge discount during the first week of the next month! How about giving it a try?" I took the opportunity to give his face a good look... Nope. No idea who he is. New transfer student? How many move here every month? Still, that's a pretty hair. Call me old fashioned, but a classic black japanese hair that is well-cared for is such a rare sight nowadays. My artistic senses gave out a satisfied hum. "Oh, there's a... Yeah, menu." I commented when he turned the pamphlet around. "We've other stuff too if you're not that into fish. It's all very tasty, I swear."
*Thunder outside*
"..." (frozen) (long four seconds after that) "... ...Huh? Oh no...! I dropped them all!"
Stupid head, stupid, stupid...! Oh, I hate when this happens... I hurriedly crouched and started to gather the pamphlets that had fallen on the floor. Please, say that none has dirtied ...

Hibiki just stared as some strange girl pitched a sushi restaurant to him, he wasn't expecting that today, but it was certainly a better surprise than yesterday.
The pamphlet was actually pretty impressive, he could tell more work had been put into it than you'd have expected, the menu selection looked nice, the sale certainly sounded good. This was worth looking into. He hadn't had sushi in a while, and he certainly wouldn't be above some Tekkamaki or Inarizushi.
The girl holding it was certainly interesting, but a little too fast paced for him, maybe she was just in a hurry? She was a year ahead of him, and with hair like that, how had he never noticed her around here? He took a better look at her, she was actually pretty good looki- not going to finish that thought. He smiled a bit anyway.
He started walking off to think things over, and- *Thunder outside* Thunder? Was it going to rain again after last night? *Sigh* this was going to be one of those nights.
He turned back after hearing the girl shouting, trying to gather her spilled pamphlets. He had no idea how he should react, so he just extended his hand and asked her. "Do you need help?"

"Do you need help?" "...Oh? Oh yes, please." she said, still gathering the pamphlets lying around. She took a quick glance on each side of them before adding them to the growing pile in her hands.
"...Thank you." she gave him an akward smile when he handed her those he had picked. She looked outside. Small droplets were now falling on the glass with increasingly frequency. "...Looks bad huh." She said, mostly to herself. Thankfully she always kept an umbrella inside her locker. Always. "Well, excuse me then. I need to distribute those before it starts to pour for real." she walked back to her original position in front of the front door. Her white and blue sweatshirt said 'swimming club' on the back and below it 'captain, Hideyoshi Chouko' "Oh... Nice ring by the way!" she added, before turning her attention to another student who entered the front door. "Hey, Noriyama-kun, promotion week incoming!" she waved him a pamphlet in a taunting motion "Wha- seriously?! Ah, mo... Why you guys always have do that when I'm broke...?!" she gave a distant suffering look "Well it can't be helped then... We even made a special combo with cream cheese fatty tun-" "Oh, damn you. You actually added that to the menu?!" he took the pamphlet from her hands "...Ahá." to what Chou replied by switching to a victorious look. One must always now their clientele~ "..." the student kept walking "See you there then...!" before answering to her cellphone that had been ringing for a while "...Moshi moshi? Aki? Hm. I'm almost done." *silence* "I see. Yeah, okay. I'll be there soon. Bye." *hangs up*
*Thundering again*
"... Hi! Can I interest you in some fine sushi?"
"...Wah! Yakuza?" "Ah, that guy again... I told you about him, remember?" the girl next to her eyed the man far away warily "He always come when it rains." "... He's kinda handsome in a weird way..." "Are you crazy?! Don't even think about it...! He could be a kidnapper!" "Sssh! He's looking this way...!" *fake looking somewhere else*
"..." A mysterious figure wearing a leather coat was leaning on a white van in front of the school. As if that was not strange enough, he had short silvery hair and wore dark glasses of a deep red color. "I'm already here. You done with work?" He looked around with interest. "Yo." he greeted a girl who looked at him sideways, causing her to hide behind her umbrella. "Well, hurry then. It's gettin pitch black near the horizon." He looked back at the school gate, tucking back his phone in the pocket. He clicked his tongue at the rain that was already falling "...Better to get inside the van 'n wait."
