(( Shizuko the romantic. blaugh ))
Don watched as the red juice started to drip down from the side of her mouth. He grabbed his napkin and dapped her lips.
"You shouldn't take such big bites when you're eating strawberries." He said softly. "Or you'll drip juice all over your dress." He continued his heart beating a little faster.
He sat back down, " I don't know....I would consider it both our bad lucks that we ran into each other...and the bad lucks just canceled each other out. Two lefts make a right." He said brightly.

"Have you taken a geometry class? Two lefts make a U-Turn. Three lefts make a right," Etsuko said naively, "Do you like your Strawberry?"
Shizuko's stomach began to growl, she hadn't eaten dinner, she was so busy helping Etsuko with the treats. Even now she couldn't go get food, all the cake trays were downstairs and the moment she would go down there she would have been spotted.

"ah!" Don blinked blankly, he looked down and drew some lines on the table with his finger. "Ah...how do you like that...." He laughed looking up. "I never really pay attention, math class is doesn't catch my interest. But if you say three then that would make sense since both Jon and I were hiding from a rampage of crazy girls!" He said smiling holding up a finger, "Three lefts is one right!". "Yes, thank you I would very much so!" He said cheerfully as he looked down to grab himself a strawberry.

Etsuko sat contently for a little bit, watching Don enjoy his Strawberry, until finally she said, "Aside from the luck and the hair, what do you think the real difference is between Shizuko and myself?"

Again she said something he wasn't prepared for. He continued to hold his strawberry in his mouth, sucking on it- thinking.
Why did he text Etsuko instead of Shizuko? What compelled him to say 'yes' to a meeting alone? One of his thoughts lit up like a neon sign that said, 'Men's wild instinct and natural drive' he had accidentaly picked up a woman's magazine once in at a book store and read about how men had a simple mind process and how they didn't think before they acted. Don felt stupid suddenly, his brow furrowed and turned a red.
"You're more charming...." he said stupidly before he could catch himself.

I was right, he does like her. Oh well.
Shizuko's stomach growled once again.
"Charming?" Etsuko questioned, "No one has called me charming before, I've been called a klutz, a plague, a fool, and a culinary genius, but never charming."

"...!" He turned even redder. His grip on the strawberry had tightened and it cracked most of the thick layer of white chocolate on it and a bit of juice started to ooze out from the cracks. "Ah...ah..." He couldn't think of what to say he swallowed, "Once you look pass all that, you are very charming." He stopped in horror Look pass all that?!?!?!?!?! IDIOT!!!
A waiter stood up and walked over to the couple. "Excuse me, the hour is getting late, would you two like some proper dinner? Sweets are good but not for dinner." He chuckled. He smiled at the young lad and lady, "Oh! Lady Etsuko! Good evening! I didn't realise it was you until now!" The waiter exclaimed in happiness.
Don was sitting erect up in his chair still horrified at what he just said, what kind of idiot would say Look pass all that?!?!

"It doesn't surprise me you didn't recognise me, I'm not with my sister," Etsuko said with a giggle, "This is the first time in thirteen years we've been apart."
Etsuko looked over at Don, he seemed to be in his own world, "Could you get us two orders of the number three dinner item from last weeks menu at my father's Yama-Shogun restaurant?"
"Right away Lady Etsuko," the waiter said rushing off.
Hearing Etsuko order the food only made Shizuko more hungry. Seeing Don in his own world and knowing Etsuko would be too aloof to notice she headed down stairs and slipped out the door to get some food of herself.
"Don, you are a lot kinder than your brother, you two are a good balance," Etsuko said trying to help Don, "I just seem to hold Shizuko back."
A group of girls walked past Don and Etsuko one tripped on the rug and spilled a glass of water on Etsuko, and just kept walking off as if nothing had happened.

Don snapped back, "Oh...you...you really think so?" He asked. When the girl tripped and spilled her water Don jumped right up knowing over his own chain and picked up the glass that had fallened.
"Etsuko! Are you all right? ah...ah... Here..." He said grapping his napkin and holding it onto her dress to soak up the water. "H-hold on! S-stand up that way it won't soak your legs! " He said pulling her up. Afterwards he ran towards some of the waiters in the corner and asked for some towels.

"This sort of thing happens all the time," She said, "I'm used to it by now."
She allowed Don to go about what he was doing.
"I ordered us some dinner, I hope you don't mind."

Don came back with an armful of towels. "No, I don't mind...Here." He said kneeling down and taking the napkin she held and replaced it with a towel.

"I'm sorry about my bad luck," Etsuko apologized, "I hope it isn't contagious"
The dress was as dry as they could get it.

Arin entered the salon, and was instantly amazed at its size and beauty. "This place is even nicer than I thought it'd be..." He said to himself, looking around. He noticed several other students talking, but was too shy to try and introduce himself. I should probably try and find Karu... Didn't he say he'd meet me at the salon?

Keiko walked into the salon, brushing her newly bleached hair with her fingers. Not really paying attention to where she was going she bumped into Arin. "Hey!" She shouted, "Don't just stand around looking like an idiot. If you are going to stay in a room, stay away from the pathways!"

"N-no...I don't think so..." He said quietly as he gathered the wet towels and handed them to a waiter who came by to take them.
"I'm sorry." He apologised. "Weird things always tend to follow me when I'm away from Jon. He calls the Ill Fortune Separation Syndrome. I just call it jealousy as it always involoves girls...." He mumbled.
