Yuuji smiled more as Akari smiled back at him. He played with a look of hurt as Akari mocked his earlier statement about the wind leading them wherever it wanted. "Well if I knew then the wind wouldn't be leading us now would it?" Yuuji replies teasingly. He cautiously takes Akari's hand and leads her out into the streets of Kyoto their destination still unknown. Once outside he releases her hand so they could commence jogging.

Relief flooded through Nodoka as she saw her friend alive, and well. "Yue!" Nodoka cried with relief. Although she was safe, and here, where was she before? Had she fallen asleep? Gotten lost? "W-Where were y-you, Yue?" Nodoka asked, with a big smile on her face. "W-We were a-all worried about you..."
Asuna was certainly happy that Yue was okay, but Yue was seen with Konoka last, wasn't she? Perhaps Yue knew something about Konoka's kidnapping. "Yuecchi, you were with Konoka last, right?" Asuna asked, getting straight to the point. "Do you remember anything of last night, after we left the cafeteria?" She added, with hope in her eyes. Hopefully, Yue saw something that could help the investigation towards finding Konoka.

Yue blinked a bit, suprised.
"Eh? S-sorry... I hadn't gotten much rest recently... I fell asleep... I-I'm fine now." Yue smiled to Nodoka, . "I'm sorry I made you all worry..." She bowed in apology, straightened,and then turned to Asuna .
"Ah, sorry Asuna-san, I was actually hoping you knew where she was too..." Then a thought struck Yue.
K-kidnapping? well, I guess It's the only logical solution to that... Konoka isn't one to leave someone behind while they're asleep...
"Hmm... maybe she was taken by someone while I was asleep..." Yue added thinking about the chances of it.

Might as well tell her. "Yuecchi, Konoka didn't return to the room after last night. We talked to brat-sensei, and he said that Konoka was kidnapped." Asuna explained, letting out a sigh. It was okay that Yue didn't know anything about the whereabouts of Konoka, but it was okay. Negi and the others would find her, right? "Did you fall asleep before anything happened to Konoka?"

Yue had guessed correctly.
"Hmm... yes... I fell asleep probably just before she was taken, because I had a dream about that happening... It might've been influenced by hearing what went on..." Yue said plainly, and then sighing. She forgot her juice in the Cafeteria...

She heard what they were saying? Maybe. Still, there was a maybe. "Do you remember what they said? The people who took Konoka? Maybe it would tell us where they went..." Asuna said, hope glimmering in her eyes. Then again, most kidnappers wouldn't say where they were going in a public place, in front of a witness.

[Tatsumi arrives from upstairs, teacher room #3] "No one knows..." Tatsumi's voice could be heard from the stairs as he could be seen walking down them, approaching the small crowd of female students. Regan would be shortly behind him as Tatsumi walked over to them, garbed in his usual apparel and carrying that case of his like he always had. He was very straitfoward in his approach, stopping a few feet from the girls, his eyes quickly meeting with Yue's first. He had ben worried about her for awhile now, even if his blunt expression didn't show it.
With a short sigh, he looked at the other students, Nodoka, Asuna, then Mizuki, taking a moment to adjust his glasses before his hand returned into his coat pocket while he added something else. "We are still doing what we can though." Even then, he was brief, not sure if the students cared for him to stick around and origanally planning to walk on by. Though he would stay for a bit if they wanted him to. Which, with Asuna and Yue, the chances of that were good, but he wouldn't mind. Frankly, he was curious on how they were all holding up, these particular students were important to him...

It was a little creepy to have the intimidating teacher come up to you, and butt into your conversation. Jumping about a foot into the air, Asuna turned around to see who was talking. In his usual garb, he looked like he always did. Dark. But, to Asuna, he looked as fine as he always did. "T-Tatsumi-sensei!" Asuna said, with surprise raising her voice a little higher. "I see...so, no new information about Konoka has been found?" Asuna asked, clearing her throat.

"Ah Tatsumi-sensei." Yue said as he came up to them. She almost laughed out loud when Asuna jumped.
"That's too bad... I was actually just about to recomend coming to see you about it." she sighed. "Is there any way we could help?" by that she meant, 'Can I help? Oh, you three, you also can help if you want to.'

Regan walks down shortly after Tatsumi came down. He was stopping by a group of other students, who had gathered... it sounded as though they were talking about the kidnapping, too. Hm, so they knew, huh? Asuna and... She recognized Nodoka, but she didn't know her name. Must be from when she was still in class 2-A. Yue was a mystery to her, though, looking at her, she was probably just about Negi's size. Heh... cute. She stops next to Tatsumi and stands casually, looking them over. What could she say about it? If she admitted to having chased the kidnapper, she'd be bothered with questions, and she might accidentally spill a secret or two about magic. Simply wouldn't do. So, she remains quiet. "Hey, Asuna-san." She smiles softly, remaining pleasant as she addresses her acquaintance, nodding to the other two. She was never much for last names, really, preferring to address those she had no qualms with by their first name.

[enters from lounge]
Driviline comes slowly walking in and saw a group of students that he actually knew. He walked up to a nearby picture and looked it so it didn't seem like he was there just to listen in on them. The picture he was looking at was a picture of a familly planting seeds in a garden.

"I guess there really isn't anything we can do... Is there?" Mizuki said silently. The good thing was that they had found Yue though. At least she was in no way of harm at the moment, but still... Konoka was nowhere to be found.

There was a brief silence from Tatsumi, and had he been able to give a real smile, he probably would have in amusement from Asuna's reaction. The girl always seemed to be so nervous around him, even blushing some times. If he didn't know any better, he would have thought that she had some childish crush or something. But that was too farfetched, he was about nine, maybe ten years older than she was, so that just wouldn't work.
Taking a moment, he looked at Yue as well, and the other girls may have noticed that out of all of them, she was the one receiving most of his attention, his gaze seeming to drift back to her every now and then. He didn't say anything about it though, and instead went back to the subject at hand, his tone forever blunt, his words still filled with a chilling coldness, but compared to how he spoke with the rest of the students and people, he at least tried to lighten it up just a bit around these four. "Well, I've gathered descriptions of the kidnappers and actually gave a sketch to the police this morning, so chances are that come tomorrow; there will be wanted posters."
Unfortunately though for them, tomorrow would be too late; and Tatsumi was well aware of this after all, that was mostly the point.
"Other then that, it would be a good idea if we try to look and ask around if anyone had seen her, but Kyoto is so massive that I doubt there would be any luck. Honestly...-" Sounding just barely concerned, almost unnoticeable as his blunt tone nearly overpowered his words, he then said something a bit off character for himself. "-I think the best you can do to help is to take care of yourselves. I heard it was a rough night, and there is no sense in stressing yourselves over something you have no control of." Then again, he wasn't the guidance councilor without reason, and even if he was often a cold, heartless person, sometimes his wise and somewhat caring words would make people think otherwise.

Tomorrow? A lot of things could happen in 24 hours. Konoka could be killed, raped, tortured, the possibilities were endless! Was 24 hours short enough? Well, the bright side of this, was they were doing something, and Konoka would be found. Alive, or dead. Giving a wave, and a faint smile to the busty girl, Regan, Asuna turned her attention to Tatsumi. "I guess you're right, Tatsumi-sensei." Of course! Tatsumi was always right, in fact, he was the epitome of good. At least, to Asuna, he was. He was certainly far more useful than the 'brat-sensei'.
