OOC: Hm...open! XD
Walking down the street with a bucket of ice cream in a plastic bag, I brushed back my bangs and sighed. My brother is so...retarded. Who the hell craves for ice cream in the middle of the night? Not to mention, in the middle of winter? Obviously, my brother. Another mental sigh, and I continued on, crossing one of the major roads and heading back to the condominium complex, my footsteps giving the occasional echo when I pass by the alleyways. Mind you, I'm not trying to be quiet. Though, the two people following behind me should know that I can hear theirs fairly well, even with my MP3 player playing in my ears.
..annoyance...
It was quite obvious that they were going to attack, or else they wouldn't have tried so hard to act as if they weren't following me. Already, I could tell they were amateurs in the spying business. Taking a short cut home, I knew that Reita would be waiting for me outside because I was obviously "late", and he wanted his ice cream. More footsteps were heard, and I knew that more of them would show up. It's like in those movies - they were stupid, but not stupid enough to attack me alone. A mental sigh - blank stare from my eyes as I continued to walk towards the complex, where Reita stood, a scowl on his face. When his eyes met mine, for a second, I thought he smiled. I guess he would enjoy this little fight with these guys... Heh..
Tossing him the bucket of ice cream, he caught it with ease and placed it on the ground, and once Reita was by my side, I turned around. Fourteen people, wearing uniformed clothing, all black with one stripe of green going across their chest. All wearing black caps, and all holding baseball bats with their right hand. Hm... Seems like they weren't trying to hide themselves after all. This gang looked tough, but looks could be deceiving, no?
Without another word, I watched as Reita went towards the fourteen men, and slowly, watched him take them down one by one. Shouting could be heard a while off, and it was obvious that it was more than fourteen now. Reita and I were both wearing out masks as usual, making us stand out. Eventually, I had to join in the fight because I knew Reita would kill me afterwords. Eh, it's a twin thing. Kick, dodge, punch, dodge, dodge, dodge... Taking a look around, I knew there were at least twice as many people. And I couldn't help but think what Reita did this time to piss off a gang.

Mmmmmm, it's nice out tonight, eh? I suppose. This is probably the coldest it will get. Unfortunately... I've always wanted to see some snow, but it never comes in this place. Damn SoCal. Eh, things are how they are. The mentally unstable red haired teen thought while walking down another street in another part of town he wasn't familiar with. It was becoming a habit of his, and every time he ended up farther and farther from home. Maybe the extremely long walks would teach him something eventually. Or maybe they wouldn't. It would be pretty hard, as the schizo usually found the same places boring.
What am I looking for? Who knows. The Pillar wondered, squeezing his hands which were covered by his gloves. Rarely did he take them off, and with the weather being like it was, he didn't plan on it. Having only his hands be cold annoyed Levi to no end. What's everyone looking for?
The sad part was even his walks were beginning to bore the Junior. All the suburban houses started blending together in his mind, all the stores downtown seemed the same, every beach spot seemed as crowded and noisy as the last. The only spot he never tried of was the beach down the block from Chi's house. It was usually quiet and secluded. Spending time with her there was one of Aureus' favorite things.
Walking...walking...walking, that's all he did, not even paying much attention to his surroundings. The bottom of his sneakers scraping against the ground, the Pillar ignited his right glove and stared at the flame. "Ahhhhhhh!!!" Levi shouted, frustrated at everything and nothing at the same time. "Hmm? What's going on over there?" He asked the air, looking at what seemed to be a gigantic mob surrounding an apartment building. This late at night? The schizo wondered, taking a few steps closer...

Running toward Reita, we were now the so called center of the little mafia surrounding us. Interesting to say, I was getting bored. This group was almost too organized, using the same combo every four or five hits. Back to back, Reita seemed to tower over me with his height. Now that I mention it, did he grow four-five inches...?
Taking a deep breath, I closed my eyes and replayed mentally of what Reita taught me. The combination moves that the both of us could use - like a tag team battle. Though we never actually tried this on people... As if something rang mentally, I instantly moved to his right, where his hand was already open, and I took it. Hand in hand, the two of us moved near one end, and as hard as he could, he flung me up into the air. I would then land properly on two of the guys shoulder that were side by side together, then pull myself backwards into a handstand, causing the two to hit their heads on the ground. And now...I was in a handstand, waiting...
Reita simply stood there and backed off a bit... Wait...
Oh, you've got to be kidding me.
While the attackers advanced towards me, Reita moved towards his bucket of ice cream where he then pulled out a spoon from his pocket, and took off his mask, and began eating his ice cream o' doom happily.
Meanwhile, I was still in that handstand. This was another one of our twin "games". Reita, being far more advanced in weaponry and hand to hand combat was my so called "teacher", giving me surprise attacks with forks and knives ... or large groups of people. I assumed that this test consisted of me surviving, though, what a lovely brother, neh? When one neared me, I lowered my legs and kicked him in the crotch before resuming my normal position: Standing up. I had no time to count, but likewise, Reita definitely told these people not to go easy on me. How do I know?...
...sibling love. To the point where sometimes, we take risks where the other one dies.
Joy.

Of course, having a sudden craving for food and decidedly working before school starts to get a head-start on his day, Koishi steps out of his apartment or condo or whatever one may assume the place was. It didn't quite matter to him. Taking with him his notebook and a spatula, he lets out a long, luxurious yawn as he takes some steps down to the ground floor.
Walking towards the entrance he enjoys and is comfortable with leaving in, he's suddenly in the middle of a mess of things with a young man munching down some ice cream while a young woman is left alone attacking the many uniformed maniacs. Koishi blinked at this and of course, side-stepped his way through punches, dodging attacks, and of course sometimes letting the way-ward kick land him in the face.
However, his spatula's taken from him and used in the fight, which then he blinks and speaks, "... Can I have my spatula back please?" ... which earns him a bent up spatula as it lands right in front of him after having it earn no effect and no respect. Of course. Now he's mad. 'I just wanted to go for some noodles and do some work in the kitchen, and hey, I don't care that you're mass-swarming this girl and doing a horrible job at it, but you mess with my spatula... '
This leaves him to set aside his notebook in a safer location and then entering the battle, tapping the shoulder on someone trying to get into the action and when they turn around, leaves him with a sucker-punch. "You're in my way..." mutters the young man darkly.

After further scrutiny, Levi found that at the heart of the mob was someone he knew, someone he was supposed to work with, but rarely saw. Mitsuki...the School Captain. She seems to be holding her own pretty well, but it would be rude to leave a lady to face so many thugs. And who's that guy eating the ice cream? And what's with spatula boy? The teen wondered, finding things quite amusing, despite the grave circumstances. His frustration had done a full 360 and had been replaced with, dare I say it, but a small amount of excitedness.
Igniting both of his gloves, the Junior rushed head long into the brawl like a flaming cannon ball; checking, smashing, punching any of the matching colored idiots in his way. They were pretty weak, and the only thing that had going for them was the insane amount of them.
Seeing one of the boys rush him from behind, Levi threw his right leg out to catch his assailant in the stomach. Without missing a beat, the Pillar pivoted twice avoiding one punch, and another kick. Seeing another arm fly in his direction, the redhead grabbed it and swung it's owner over his shoulder and into his comrades. Using the momentum, he allowed himself to bend backwards, narrowly avoiding a high kick to his face. From there he regained his balance, threw his elbow into the sternum of the boy on his right, bent the other way and upper cutted another.
Unfortunately the numbers were still stacked against him and one of the thugs managed to jump onto his back. "Ahhhhh!" Levi bellowed in frustration as he swung the bastard off his back and threw him some random direction. Lowering his body and sweeping in a circular motion, the Pillar went into a half handstand and sent another kick to an attacker's midsection. Swinging to his right, he swept his left leg low across the ground to trip whoever happened to be too close. Panting by this time, the redhead charged and threw out both his flaming hands in a sort of double palm strike. The scent of burning clothes was wafting through the brisk air.
"Christ, how many are there?!" Levi growled, spinning in a circle and leaping into the air. Using a nearby shoulder, he swung himself into more of the color coordinated gang.

...and this went on for quite a while. The girl continued to use offensive moves, taking them down one at a time, taking her time. Though, she hadn't noticed two guys helping her, but Reita did. Standing up, he dusted himself off, already finished with his tub of ice cream, and walked over to the scene, where everyone suddenly stopped fighting and turned and bowed towards Reita. First initial thought from Mitsuki was that he's now some sort of boss from a mafia gang. The mask was back on his face, and anyone would be able to tell that the two were immediate siblings. He was twirling the spoon between his fingers, and walked towards Mitsuki, who stood up straight and slowly caught up with her breath. He stopped in front in front of her, a look of disappointment crossing his face, and she grimaced. She rarely got that look... That meant she did something wrong. Looking around, she saw two others.
...sh-t...[/color]
He tapped her head with the spoon, and sighed.
"You fail."[/color]
"..Nii-sama..."
Mitsuki was now waiting for her punishment. Her eyes staring into his, narrowing slightly, afraid of the outcome. She isn't afraid of death, but she is definitely scared of her brother...
"...go get me another tub of ice cream."
...
[insert anime sweat drop here].
All the guys lined up, and Reita dismissed them. He turned and looked over at the two boys, his pupils narrowing dangerously. His stare was...not very warming. He looked over at Mitsuki before giving a heart warming smile - something completely different than before - and shooed her off. She looked over at the two guys and rubbed the back of her neck. She didn't know either one of them, but one guys eyes seemed definitely...familiar.
"...thanks for...helping..."
Even though it's your help that caused me to fail...[/color]

Levi knew there was something wrong when the fight stopped all of a sudden. All the losers bowed towards the boy eating the ice cream. The Pillar had never seen him before, but already didn't like him. Not that he did anything to really merit the redhead's disdain, but it was there nonetheless. "Pff...this guy's the leader of a group of weaklings..." Levi muttered to himself, a bit embarrassed that he had interrupted in something that obviously wasn't his business.
What else was he supposed to do though?! When a giant mob of people are attacking a single woman, he had to jump in. It was just in his nature. Unfortunately, his nature had caused the School Captain to fail whatever test she had been taking. The punishment wasn't all that bad though...right? She just had to get more ice cream. "You're welcome..." Levi muttered almost incoherently at the girl's pretend thanks.
Looking back to her brother, Levi locked eyes with him, gloves still burning. There was no way he was gonna back down to this guy. "I think you need to find stronger thugs," He said sharply.

Simply watching the event that occured simply right after Koishi sent one of the uniformed students into the ground, Koishi decides against leaving him as such and immediately pulls the young man back to his feet as he goes to retrieve his notebook. Kneeling down, he takes his spatula and stares at it, 'I suppose I'll have to get another one of these... but this was a gift...' runs the thought throughout his mind.
However these thoughts are soon interrupted by the hesitant girl thanking them for it - clearly not too pleased by Koishi's theory. Staring straight at her, he gives a shrug and takes a few steps forward and takes a respectful bow; the thought of not having manners a very strange thing to the young man, offering an apology at that as he slowly rises back to an upright position - "I apologize if I am the reason you failed your assignment. However, they were in the way."
And from that point his eyes cast themselves down. Knowing full well offering to assist the girl with her task would cause her another failure, thusly he decides to simply walk straight past the two, offering the older one a nod and patting the girl on her shoulder in sympathy as he shoves his hands into his pocket, bag containing his schoolwork and notebook computer shouldered and hanging right behind him. 'Perhaps next time...' he says as he looks around warily around the entrance of his condo.
Then, decidedly he tries to figure out which direction he could go with the least amount of distractions, some minor curiosity forcing him to consider what exactly the girl was being tested upon. Giving a sigh, he stretches and yawns, rubbing his head as he then decides to forgo the idea of noodles and sits down nearby the entrance to ponder what to eat considering his spatula had been... well. Disabled. However this leaves him to be forced to eavesdrop on the conversation that appears to go on continuously between the one that had joined the fight and the one that had left the fight.

Her eyes wandered off to the boy who gave that sharp answer to Reita, then wandered off to her brother, who had a cool, collected look on his face. The silver spoon twirling around his fingers, and he chucked it towards him, the spoon a blur as it should land near Levi's feet, missing purposely. His hands slipped into his pockets, his eyes staring at Levi's for a moment, a blank look on his face before it turned into a smile. He shifted his feet a bit, turning to the rest of the guys who still was in that 90 degree bow position. Taking his hand out of his pocket, he rubbed the back of his neck before walking towards them, an apologetic look on his face. Mitsuki sighed - ever since they moved here, it seemed that her brother was a lot more...loose. Did he get a girlfriend or what?
"Ano... Gomenasai. You can all go home now."[/b]
Shifting his feet slightly, he turned the top part of his body towards Mitsuki and the other two boys, his eyes turning towards Mitsuki. They were both wearing their masks, and Mitsuki stared right back at him before turning away and gave a mental sigh. He was waiting for that inevitable question, and she wouldn't give it to him. She would not ask him that question. She would not ask him that question. She would not-
"What flavor ice cream?"
His eyes brightened and he handed her a ten dollar bill. Of course, he only wanted to hear her ask because it meant she gave into him. She rolled her eyes mentally and turned away from him, only to have a fork flying her way from behind. How'd she know? Well, it's a basic routine. Before she buys ice cream, he throws a fork. Depending on how many forks he throws, depends on what time she has to get home by. That is, if you dodge them and don't get hurt. She turned around and dodged the forks one by one. One fork stood for one minute, so she was actually hoping he'd throw a lot more. After ten had been thrown, she stared at him unbelievably.
"Ten minutes...?"
It took bloody ten minutes to get there!
"Your time starts now. If your friends want to help, I suggest they hurry."[/color]
Of course, when he said her time started then, she didn't bother waiting for him to say the rest. She was already up and gone.

Having already started off, an odd sudden desire for ice cream setting him on his path, what with the talk about ice cream and the young man devouring it. Having started off at a good pace, he blinks as he watches the redhead speeding off in the direction of the same store she got the ice cream from. Deciding on following, perhaps for some good ice cream rather than anything else he'd decide on what with the convenience of the nearby stores...
However, Koishi turned this more into a race, but maintained a steady pace so as to follow the girl, watching her curiously as he peered around the area, trying to take in more of the sights - still yet unfamiliar with the city despite living around for a while.
