Taming Kestrel Chapter 130

- Shirahama beach / 12:00 noon -

To say that Ichika being absent from the gang has been dull and uneventful would be totally untrue.. true there has been a gap left open which everyone has noticed but needless to say everyone has been in excellent condition. Since leaving Ichika to has he requested to 'go to the bathroom'.. the girls of Ichika's 'unwanted' harem have found entertainment with Kestrel and his own female group. The blonde Charlotte being all too happy to hear Kes singing in French in a near perfect manner, for all the youngster has his foreign twang the young ace has a beautiful young voice - and more importantly Kestrel's 'Mon Legionnaire' song ensured Charlotte was in high spirits.

The result was the blonde wanting to sit and spend some time beside Kes, for all Charlotte wants Ichika as her beloved.. the blonde was very friendly and pleasant to the scar faced Kes. Tomoe of course being cheerful enough to accept Charlotte's company given the fact that she knows Charlotte wants Ichika and the scar faced Kestrel isn't interested in Charlotte despite the fact that she is ideal lover material.

Kestrel also got a nice round of applause after he finished speaking, not that it did much for the youngster joy wise.. the infant merely lowered his small head and closed his eyes housing a depressed expression on his face, thankfully Tomoe was at hand to comfort the scar faced ace. Now at last.. Kes is in a casual and neutral state, the young ace merely looking out toward the rolling blue pacific ocean with half open eyes but with a straight expression on the face. Tomoe of course being happy enough to have Kes buried into her side, the female resting the side of her face against the top of young Kestrel's head.

Charlotte occupies the other side of Kestrel, the blonde having linked arms with the youngster.. Tomoe having done the same but except for the fact that Kes and Tomoe are holding hands as the two rest against each other, Tomoe of course having a love stricken yet casual cheerful expression on her face as she basks in the moment of being in contact with the young long black haired Kes.

By now the temperatures are high, the amount of people on the beach have increased greatly, by now there are mass amounts of people taking to the water. Young males and females of various ages from 8 to 18 are swimming, paddling and playing various water games in the salty blue ocean. People have now occupied the beach greatly, by now as far as the eye can see, the beach is virtually packed up with visitors. Amazingly people have a bit of distance from each other, there are now heavy amounts of beach umbrellas on the gold sand beach, amazingly some still lay on the beach on nothing but towels - Those people have good amounts of sun block on them.

As a result of the numbers, Ichika's group have now moved up toward Kestrel to form one large group, the volley net has been taken down and the girls of Ichika's group have now got their respective items set amongst those of Kestrel's group, the females now included their own summer umbrellas amongst the summer towels and other items, these include various summer drinks and sun tan lotions.

In regards to sun block itself the blonde Cecilia now lays on her front following Kaede applying a screen on her back, the blonde having un-done the top half of her blue bikini to allow Kaede to apply the sun block lotion. Amazingly with Kes in the area one would have thought the girls would have been defensive in having a young boy in the vicinity around them but strangely enough, nobody seems to be bothered.

Even so.. the girls still feel a little bit of awkwardness in being around Kes when it comes to having sun block applied on their bodies, but because of what happened back at the bath house, seeing the scars on his arms, some of which can still be seen.. but thankfully only little in number.. and noticing no toe nails and such, the girls aren't in the mood to throw a fit over Kestrel being around them when in a virtual naked state. If anything Kestrel has focused only on the ocean so he's not any danger, regarding frisky matters.

Now at last with the sun block applied to her back, Cecilia purrs in happiness feeling the soothing bliss of being protected from the sun. Even though the gang are beneath umbrellas the gang still apply sun block, Kestrel's need for sun lotion will only be on the arms and around the face today. As Kaede finishes applying the final touches on Cecilia's shoulders, the blonde keeps her eyes closed and smiles in an overjoyed and blissful manner.

"There, all done" - Kaede speaks out in a cheerful and pleasant manner, the black haired woman looking down at Cecilia with a pleasant expression, the black haired woman easing her posture as she reaches for a large clear bottle of water resting on the sand beside Yui. As Kaede reaches down for her water and picks up the bottle the next to speak is Houki who lays down on her back a white fluffy towel covering up the top half of her body, the top half of the bikini laying beside her.

As Houki speaks the female uses a casual everyday tone as she looks up the umbrella that shields her from the sun, the female houses a cheerful small smile on her face as she rolls her eyes to the side to look over toward Rin whom also lays on her front, the female covered up by a large blue fluffy towel, the female's swimsuit no longer on her person but set beside her - "You feeling relaxed?".

"Hell yeah, like I've won millions" - Rin replies in a cheerful and overjoyed manner, the brunette keeping her eyes closed as she enjoys the feeling of pure relaxation. The brunette only moving to get herself more comfortable on the red towel she lays upon.

As Kaede takes down a swig of water from her water bottle, the next to speak is Kazumi whom fans herself with a traditional and colourful looking Japanese fan, the dark blue haired mother of the two beauties Tomoe and Megumi looking over toward Charlotte with a cheerful and friendly expression - "Would you like to have some sun block applied?".

"Well I would but.. I just don't want to let go of Kes here" - Charlotte responds in a cheerful tone of her own, the blonde smiling in a cheerful manner before turning a bit awkward yet amusing at the mention of not wanting to part with Kestrel. The scar faced Kes upon hearing his name remains silent as a grave but merely rolls his eyes to the side in a curious manner, Tomoe doing the same in a comical moment of irony.

Smirking in an amused manner the next to speak is Tsukiyo, the black haired police woman with her thin framed glasses gleaming a little speaks in a bad ass yet cool big sister tone - "Not wanting to release him? I thought you had feelings for Orimura".

Tomoe and Kestrel say nothing as the other females seem to take amusement at what Tsukiyo just said, instead the two youths merely turn their heads in order to look at each other.. as their eyes make contact with each other, the pair seem to gaze into each other's eyes they pay no heed to the sound of Charlotte responding in an defensive yet highly amused manner. Both Kes and Tomoe look each other deeply in the eyes, Tomoe's heart swells and beats rapidly as a love stricken flush of red appears under her eyes, the dark blue haired beauty wants to get a'top of Kes and kiss him deeply in a love stricken manner, the female refrains from doing so as the pair have a lot of company around them.

Instead the pair merely get back to embracing each other in a love struck manner, even though the pair say nothing as they resume their original positions, the two look the happiest couple on the planet, again.. paying no heed to what Charlotte is saying back toward the others.

"Hey, be warned if you want my Kes then you have to get through me first" - Megumi speaks out to Charlotte in a frosty and challenging manner, yet a cocky smile is on her face while the looks on Houki, Rin and Cecilia are ones of amusement, for obvious reasons and everyone knows what they are - regarding Ichika being out of her reach.

Charlotte in a defensive yet challenging manner of her own looks Megumi in the face before turning to look at the smug smiles on the faces of Cecilia, Houki and Rin. The swimsuit dressed blonde motivated in breaking arm lock with Kes, to which Kes merely dismisses as a simple 'I don't get it' look on the face. The roll of the eyes and shrug of the shoulders is proof enough. As Kestrel's arm is released the ace merely acknowledges a deep love filled embrace from Tomoe who pulls Kes as deep as he can go into her side.

As Charlotte crosses her arms, the blonde places a smug expression on her face as she sits up straight, the female making it clear that she's not out of the Ichika heart war yet. The blonde slowly turns her head to look at Cecilia, Rin and Cecilia before looking Megumi in the face and looking the said beauty in the eyes. As Charlotte speaks the blonde uses a very confident tone - "First of all.. I don't want Kes as a lover, I meant I want to spend the day with him, and secondly.. I have an IS at my disposal what have you got I wonder?".

"I'll back her up you know, you hurt the sister of Kestrel's future wife, then I'll step up to defend her" - Houki speaks out, looking Charlotte in the face with a confident and cocky expression of her own, the dark haired female feeling urged to feel a bit of pride and confidence, even though boasting and being full of deciet is not Houki, it doesn't hurt to be playful.

Charlotte replies to Houki right then and there and responds in a very serious and equally confident and challenging manner. The blonde looking Houki in the face and balling a hand into a fist, the blonde then placing the fist into the palm of her left hand, the blonde maintains her smile as she buffs up her knuckles, she keeps her smile on her face as she speaks out the words - "Yeah I'd like to see you match me".

"Alright it's a date with combat then, as soon as Orimura sensei gives us the all clear, It's fists for dinner" - Houki replies with a cocky and amused grin, the female narrowing her eyes to look Charlotte in the face. The blonde Charlotte replies immediately to Houki's words, the blonde resorting to the ultimate ace that anyone can pull out of the card pack and everyone knows what that is. The blonde speaking in a bold and confident manner - "Not if I get Kes here on my side".

"Ah-Ah.. Tomoe's the one calling the shots, you want to pick a fight with Kes you pick a fight with her" - Cecilia comments in a cheerful tone, the blonde raising a hand and wags the index finger in a playful 'no-no' manner.. the blonde herself merely houses a cheerful and bold expression on her face as she speaks her words. Next to speak is non other than the mighty police woman Tsukiyo, the black haired woman rolling her eyes and shaking her head in a slightly annoyed manner.

As the police woman speaks she uses more of an irritated huff of a voice rather than a cold strict one, the mighty police woman in her one piece swimsuit not wasting any time in making her word the say of the moment - "Nobody's going to fight anybody, if you girls have a problem in having Ichika all to yourselves then you can squabble somewhere else, you can't involve a ten year old with PTSD".

The reaction from the other girls is one of shock and bewilderment, just a second ago Tsukiyo was supporting Houki, Rin and Cecilia and now she's panned them like Charlotte, which in a stroke of irony, the blonde feels a bit of amusement toward, but then again.. Charlotte also feels a knife in the back due to Tsukiyo's statement as it also meant Charlotte. Needless to say, it has stopped the girls from being challenging to each other.

One thing is for certain about Tsukiyo Otokawa, the woman does seem to be unpredictable, one minute she supports you in your cause or your goals and then the next she's grabbing you by the ear and she's nipping you in the bud for an un-expected reason. Regardless Tsukiyo is still a person you want round you and that's a definite, even so.. Rin, Houki and Cecilia all turn to look each other in the faces, Charlotte included.. a vast amount of silence befalls the area around the women before anyone speaks again.

When someone does speak it's non other than Rin, the brunette raising an eyebrow and looking Tsukiyo in the face with a serious yet careful look, the brunette effectively speaks for everyone at this point as she speaks out the words - "Who's side are you on these days miss Otokawa?".

The response from Tsukiyo is mere silence but the police woman does shrug off the question by a roll of the eyes, the officer remains silent as she takes a drink from one of the gang's water bottles. Next to speak is Yui, the woman scratching the side of her nose as she begins speaking. As Yui speaks her words the woman reaches for her red bottle of sun block, the woman raising it in a care filled manner as she looks Charlotte in the face, her tone is a perfect match - "Anyway.. going back to the first question, would you like to have some sun block?".

"Well.. sure.. that'll be great" - Charlotte replies in a cheerful and casual manner, the blonde acknowledging the fact that the matter of IS and love matters are now settled. As the blonde Charlotte eases her posture and relaxes herself, the next to speak is Kaede. What Kaede says is un-expected yet full of excitement and joy, the black haired Kaede laying on her back and looking up at Yui with an excited and bashful smile on her face, her tone is a perfect match as she speaks out the words - "But can I go first?".

"Oh?" - Yui exclaims in a confused and worried manner, the black haired Yui looking down at Kaede who lays on her back looking Yui in the face with what looks like a little amorous look on her face. A faint red blush is on Kaede's face as she looks Yui in the eyes, Yui goes a faint flush of red under the eyes as Kaede lays down on her side and shows a bit of a seductive image.

Yui trembles in excitement as she gets a good eye full of Kaede laying down as if just asking for Yui to eat her, it does not help as Kaede looks the black haired Yui in the face and speaks the words - "Go on Yui, do my body for me".

"Okay then, if that's what you want" - Yui responds in an excited and giddy manner, a look of joy and carnal lust is in her eyes as she looks Kaede in the eyes, the black haired woman feels her heart beat so fast it's on the verge of exploding and her body temperature seems to rise to boiling point. As Kaede lays down on her back and prepares herself to recieve Yui and her hands, both women seem to look each other in the eyes with the same emotions as those shared by both Kes and Tomoe.

As the two adult women seem to get lost in each other's eyes as Yui carefully prepares her hands to massage some sun block onto Kaede's body, the next to speak is Kazumi.. while both Yui and Kaede are silent about their attraction and feelings toward each other, it's painfully obvious to how the pair are feeling, but as this is a delicate matter everyone chooses to mind their own business.

Kazumi is next to speak, the woman grabbing a white bottle of sun block and raising it to show, the woman looks Charlotte in the face as she speaks out in a care filled and highly cheerful manner - "I'll do your back for you okay Charlotte?".

Charlotte responds immediately with a cheerful lowering of the head as if to bow in gratitude. The blonde then carefully stands to her feet and carefully takes some steps up toward the dark blue haired Kazumi. As Charlotte stands to her feet the blonde speaks in a very cheerful and pleasant manner - "Of course, Merci".

Almost immediately after Charlotte stands to her feet, Megumi reacts like a shot of lightning.. the female springing to her feet and racing round the backs of the females.. dashing in a near flat out shot toward Tomoe and Kestrel. Within a matter of seconds Megumi arrives beside young Kes and Tomoe, the female forward rolling in a military manner and landing softly on the towel that once occupied Charlotte, everyone seems to be taken by surprise by Megumi's sprint toward her younger sister and Kes, but then again.. everyone knows what Megumi's motivation is all about.

Charlotte freezes in her tracks as Megumi suddenly appears on the towel beside Kestrel, all female eyes sift toward Megumi as the said beauty takes Kestrel's free arm in a link. The blonde Charlotte can only stutter one phrase - "What the..?"

"Sorry, only real ladies like me have the rights" - Megumi speaks out in a cheerful yet bold and cocky manner, as she basks in the feeling of being in contact with young Kes. As soon as Megumi finishes speaking her phrase, the reaction from the other females apart from Tomoe goes along the lines of 'should have expected that'. Tomoe on the other hand responds with a serious and angered glare, the female looking her older sister in the face with a frosty cold expression, just two words come from Tomoe's mouth in an emotional angered yelp - "WHAT'S THAT!?".

Megumi's response to Tomoe's irritated yelp is a mere cackling laugh in amusement, the female lowering her head and closing her eyes laughing as if she's won a full personal triumphant victory. Tomoe's response to this is an animal growl through clenched teeth, her right eye twitching as an anime temper patch on the side of her temple. Kestrel's reaction to Megumi's amusement is a mere blink of the eyes and an invisible anime style question mark appearing above his head.

Tomoe does on the other hand get the next laugh as Kes merely leans against Tomoe's side, the female doing the same back and the pair exchanging moments of joy and happiness. Thus causing Megumi to get a temper patch next, thankfully though Tomoe says and does nothing but merely smiles in a love stricken manner, changing it a little to triumph as she shrugs her shoulders as she looks Megumi in the eyes as if to say 'Ha-Ha Ha-Ha'.

Megumi surprisingly smirks but in a serious challenging manner as if to let her younger sister know that if she wants to continue a fight, she's got a fight.. and that the fight isn't over till she says it is.

"Wow, it's like a soap opera here today" - Rin comments in a cheerful yet highly amused tone, the brunette clearly being grateful she's not involved in anything unpleasant today. Backing Rin up almost immediately after a pause is Houki, the dark haired female trying to be as respectful as she possibly can, despite feeling the same as Rin. The black haired Houki smiles in a nervous yet cheerful manner the said female chooses to simply end the matter right then and there before it escalates, the look on her face is a perfect match to her tone of voice as she speaks out the words - "Hee hee.. yeah, quite.. quite".

- 20 minutes later / the sea front area -

The summer heat continues to get more and more intense, but needless to say the gang still follow their natural instincts, in this case knowing that it's time to get something to eat. For all the summer heat blazes and continues to scorch the living daylights out of everyone on the beach, life continues to go on. Now having worked up a bit of a hungry feeling the gang now make their way toward the sea front shops and restaurants.

Though the gang are minus Kazumi and Kaede, the gang are still in high happy spirits, the adults that lead the youths now are non other than Yui and Tsukiyo, the women in the group getting a lot of goo-goo eyes from some of the single guys on the beach as they make their way toward the shops and restaurants. While Cecilia, Rin and Houki take the lead the females pay no heed to the amount of awe that they attract from the males and females around them.

Megumi for one takes the chance to be insulting via narrowing her eyes, turning her head to face a small band of teenage boys whom are seriously attracted to the gang.. the dark blue slender curved beauty merely turns her head, and proceeds to raise the middle finger of the right hand.. the reaction is one of pure offense via shock and scowling but at least she got the message across that nobody in the gang are in the slightest bit interested in any of the men or boys.

Tsukiyo for one has already warned off nine young boys and three men trying it on with the girls in the gang, though the gang in turn also effectively told the boys that approached them to get lost.. it seems to have had limited effective results. Thankfully with Tsukiyo and Yui at hand the girls have had no need to raise their voices but non the less the irritation is very, very powerful non the less.

The only one that did seem to have some effective results was Kes, the youngster along with some added fire power from Tomoe and Megumi effectively turned back a group of three boys without speaking a single word. The scar faced ace merely opened his mouth as if yawning and flashed his razor bladed fangs, Tomoe smirking and pointing at the canine set in the youngster's mouth and shaking her head as if to say 'don't try it'.

Megumi merely blew the three boys out with a motion of the head as if to say 'get lost.. wankers'. When Megumi did speak the female was very effective in what she said and that was to a young American boy of teenage years, the female speaking in broken English the words 'go eat your mama's shite, you microscopic dicked virgin'. Thankfully nobody except Cecilia understood what Megumi had just said, the blonde trying not to burst out laughing.. where it is Megumi learned that phrase is anyone's guess but at least it did the job in making the offending young boy feel a total defeated loser for the day.

( A.N: The insult was something my neighbour's mother said to a person once when she was in her early 20's, she wanted me to share it with you all - X.D!)

As the gang walked on the look on Megumi's face was one of pure amusement.. the female revealing to Cecilia that she wasn't going to tell where she learned the phrase, but then again this is Megumi after all.. one just never knows.. either way.. nobody has tried it on with the gang since leaving the beach and walking the sea front. The scar faced Kestrel still dressed in his desert military camouflage wear, the scar faced ace's arms occupied by both Tomoe and Megumi, Tomoe of course being happy in contact with Kes at all times while Megumi seems to strut with pride at being arm in arm with the scar faced ace who seems to be in a world of his own with half closed eyes and a neutral straight face.

The other girls continuously look over their shoulders every now and then to check if Kes isn't suffering any mind turns.. for all the day is stunning and beautiful.. the beach.. with tons of people.. is one of the perfect triggers for causing a turn, but so far so good.. all is going well.

Now leaving the beach there's plenty of family groups such as kids, mothers and fathers and a bit of pleasant people around.. no more oglers, though some sad morons continue to eye up both Tomoe and Megumi, not that it would ever get them anywhere.. because obviously one knows that Tomoe wants Kes and ONLY Kes. Megumi wanting Kes.. well.. that's been made all too clear, but either way there's no danger of anyone betraying another, including Ichika's girls. When you include there's a good number of attractive women at the beach today.. the boy's are going to stick to their own respective females.. even if they are unwanted harems.

Still absent from the gang are Kestrel's trio.. Konoe, Yuno and Rie, but then again the N.C.A has just made an appearance and the staff members have come along, meaning that the day's fun for the N.C.A and the staff can get underway, meaning Konoe, Yuno and Rie are about to make an appearance at some point.. but as to when.. nobody knows.

Never the less.. the gang are just happy in being able to get inside a beach front cafe, the intense heat bothering all but young Kestrel but everyone knows why that is. Even so, the gang seem to be more than over joyed to enter a large beach front cafe with freezing cold air conditioning activated. As the gang enter the cafe the first thing that greets everyone is a blast of crisp cold wind from the air conditioning generators, though the heat is still evident in the air.. the cafe is well ventilated and kept cool.

( A.N: Imaginations free readers for this one, this cafe is however you WANT it to be, make yourself become part of the action )

It is a near heavenly feeling for the gang as they enter the cafe, for all Kestrel is a boy of the desert the youngster himself also shows a good amount of relief and comfort by the change in the temperatures - the young scar faced ace merely smiles in a nervous and timid manner and shudders a little but only happiness. Another good thing for the gang as they enter the cafe is the fact that there's very few people indoors which is quite a feet on a day like this.. but then again.. there's a lot of other beach front cafes and places to rest.

The first to speak is non other than Rin whom raises her hands above her head for a moment, the bright cheerful and beaming smile on her face is a perfect match to the tone of her voice as she speaks out in a cheerful manner - "Hell yeah, at last.. nice to get something good today".

"Thought with the number of people around we'd have to line up for hours" - Houki comments in a cheerful tone of her own, the dark haired female not wasting any time and looking to find a place to rest, the female being followed closely by Cecilia and Charlotte while Rin takes the chance to look at the menus set upon signs upon the walls. Next to speak is non other than Yui whom just seems overjoyed in being able to get something to eat today, the female herself paying very careful attention to the nice, pure clean appearance of the tiled floor and clean smooth walls, that make the cafe look all the more blessing today. Yui's vocal tone is a perfect match to her cheerful expression as she speaks out - "Hey you'd be surprised what can happen at times like this".

"Wish the same could be said because of all this damn heat" - Megumi comments in a highly irritated tone, the female raising an arm and hand to wipe away mass beads of sweat from her brow. The female clearly not enjoying the slightest bit of being exposed to the temperatures. As Cecilia and Charlotte take the seats at one of the oval steel tables, the next to speak is Charlotte, the blonde herself wiping some sweat off her brow, her face flushed from the heat. Never the less the blonde still speaks in a pleasant manner - "Well there's always taking a dip in the ocean today"

"Yeah but Kes isn't going in the water is he?" - Megumi speaks out in a flat and slightly worried manner, the dark blue haired beauty looking down at the scar faced as she speaks her words, young Kestrel in turn merely blinking in silence and seeming to be miles away, thankfully there's no sign of a turn taking place. Yui is next to speak, the woman looking at Megumi with a cheerful yet sympathetic face and speaks out the words - "You don't have to refrain from going in the sea because of Kes".

"Yeah but we'd like to do stuff together for today" - Megumi responds, the female looking Yui in the face as she speaks her words, everyone ironically all casting their focus at Kes.. each and every female including Tsukiyo seem to have affectionate smiles on their faces, though in apart from Tsukiyo everyone has a look of pure pity and sadness in their eyes. Even as the scar faced ace yawns in silence, the youngster's fangs standing out for a few seconds.. the all too creepy truth of Kestrel's problems seems to slam down upon everyone's heads and shoulders.

"So.. ahh.. lunch anyone?" - Yui speaks in a pleasant tone after a few seconds of silence befall the gang, the mood thankfully raises to pleasant levels upon hearing Yui's suggestion of getting something to eat. All but Kes smile in excitement as the mood brightens up greatly. Nobody says a word yet but for the moment there's no words available, just for the next few seconds only pleasantry is in the air, the scar faced Kes blinks in silence and not a whisper comes from the young ace as he looks up at the ceiling with a casual and neutral facial expression.. yet again the fascinating feeling the air that asks the eternal question.. what could he be thinking?

- 10 minutes later -

Sitting down in a large group, the gang are now able to enjoy a well earned lunch with each other.. the long black haired Kestrel as always is flanked by Tomoe and Megumi, the two females not in the slightest bit prepared to give Kes over to any other female any time soon. The gang sit at oval tables that can accommodate 4 people each, the fourth person that makes up Kestrel's table is Yui, the woman sitting directly across from Kes while Tomoe takes the left side and Megumi takes the right.

Cecilia, Rin, Charlotte and Houki occupy a table just opposite that of Kestrel's on the left while Tsukiyo.. the mighty police woman sits at a special two person table, the mighty police woman staying close to the gang today. For all there's mass numbers of people at the beach.. plenty of sad pathetic morons in awe at all the girls on the beach, and girls whom seem to be to busy to even notice the heat.. the mood remains very pleasant today.

Now at last, following a careful selection of food pickings.. the gang are now able to get some food inside their stomachs. The dark blue haired Tomoe having gone for some ramen and a selection of tropical fruits today, Megumi having gone for some steak and eggs while Yui has gone for a typical selection of Japanese rices, some eel and some fruits. Kestrel's selection of food today was fish with some, rice and fruits - a typical Japanese selection of a fish lunch.

Cecilia and Charlotte have chosen the same meal for today, the females having chosen the same type of meals one would expect to find in the IS academy, needless to say.. their own typical meals are what one would expect of Japanese tradition, a mix up of rice, egg omelets, tofu and fruits. Houki and R in have chosen the same meal that Kes has chosen from the menu today, the police woman Tsukiyo has chosen the same meal as Megumi minus the eggs, what Tsukiyo has with her steak is some light vegetables. While the kids all drink either tropical fruit drinks or cola the police woman along with Yui drink some spirits - red wine is the adult's selection.

Megumi being in the eighteen year old category jumped at the chance of getting some white wine but it was thanks to Tsukiyo that the said female was prevented from getting booze, thanks to a warning word from Kazumi. Needless to say Megumi was still happy enough in having some cola with Kes and Tomoe, the female merely shrugging her shoulders and smiling instead of making a strong protest, which was a very nice surprise for those around her.

While those around him eat with either chop sticks or knifes and forks the scar faced Kes uses his bare hands, but to say that Kes made a good attempt with utensils today was well noted the scar faced male took his first steps eating with a knife and fork, the chop sticks we're still beyond his efforts.. but.. as always.. it's early days, he'll get there soon enough with a bit more effort. The scar faced male managed to master holding a knife like an adult but the fork was still tricky, after managing to eat some apple, berries and some small tropical fruits with his knife the youngster was allowed to eat with his hands regardless of what others in the cafe thought via watching in silence.

To say that the girls have been too distracted with Kes during their lunch would be untrue.. for all the females including Tsukiyo have been fascinated in seeing if Kes can manage a knife and fork, the young women have been able to enjoy a pleasant meal, while nobody is yet finished.. the mood remains excellent. Now at last the scar faced ace having sampled the fruits with pleasant results, now thinks the time is right to try the fish.. the said fish being a typical Japanese horse mackerel.

While the fish has been stripped and prepared for eating, it is still effectively in one piece. Young Kes with his silver star of David gleaming in the light, his scar blazing pure red picks.. reaches down with a hand and picks the fish up by what's left of the tail. Everyone goes silent, including Cecilia and Charlotte whom watch in anticipation while munching on their respective mouth fulls.

Like a cautious animal.. the scar faced Kes raises the fish toward his face, the infant places his small nose near the fish and carefully sniffs twice as if trying to determine that the food is suitable for eating. After a few blinks of the eyes and moving his face away from the fish, the scar faced ace tilts his head to the left a little and after a moment of pause, the ace lifts the horse mackerel above his head and opens his mouth as if trying to take down a large drink. The females all notice the razor bladed fangs in his mouth as the youngster opens his mouth and places the head of the horse mackerel in his mouth, the scar faced ace then chomps down and tears away the head of the cooked fish.

As the scar faced ace tears away the head the infant lowers his arm in a casual manner as he proceeds to eat the first proportions of the horse mackerel. While nobody says a word, everyone is eager to hear if the infant likes the fish, all looks very well as the youngster has his colour and there's no sign of discomfort or disgust.

As the scar faced ace takes down his first mouth full of the mackerel, the youngster pauses.. looks at the headless cooked fish in his hands, blinks a few times and goes for another bite, all is well.. the youngster likes horse mackerel. As the scar faced ace raises the fish to his mouth and takes a bite out of the body, the next to speak is Tomoe whom looks Yui in the face with a very eager expression, each and every female in the vicinity including Tsukiyo looks at the youngster with anticipation as Tomoe asks one word - "Well?".

Yui acknowledging Tomoe's words looks at the scar faced youngster's face and speaks out a phrase in Hebrew, young Kestrel in turn raises his head to look the woman in the face and is silent as he takes down another mouth full of his mackerel. As soon as the youngster swallows the ace speaks back a phrase of his own, the phrase of course being in Hebrew, the youngster has a straight and neutral expression as he speaks something back to Yui.

Smiling in an overjoyed and cheerful manner, the black haired Yui looks Tomoe in the face as she speaks her reply. The black haired Yui maintains her cheerful and overjoyed expression on her face as she speaks back the words - "He said it's great, likes it".

"Well that's another thing we know he likes" - Tomoe replies in turn with a cheerful and pleasant tone, the female housing a very cheerful and pleasant smile on her face. Hearing these words loud and clear, Houki is next to speak. The dark haired female looking at the long black haired Kes with an overjoyed and cheerful smile as she speaks out the words - "I'll have to put my home economics skills to use".

"I'm just glad Kes likes the fish" - Yui speaks out in a pleasant and relieved tone, the black haired woman just happy in the knowledge that she's found something else that Kes would like for lunch or dinner. Rin is next to speak.. the brunette looking at the scar faced youngster with a cheerful expression before changing to one of awkward pleasantry. The brunette feeling her heart sink and become heavy with sorrow and guilt as she watches the youngster eat with his bare hands. The tone of voice is a perfect match as she speaks the words - "Same here but.. would he like me to help him use some utensils?".

"Hey nobody seems to care anyway" - Megumi speaks out in a flat manner, the female feeling the urge to grab the youngster and hold him as deep as she can into her body. The dark blue haired beauty just happy in seeing Kes eating a pleasant enough meal. Everyone acknowledges Megumi's words with mere smiles and shrugs of the shoulders but the fact is made all too clear that for all it's not everyday one sees a person eating with bare hands.. the youngster seems to be able to get away with it.

"Well what I've ordered is nice but it's not as good as I was hoping for" - Cecilia speaks out in a cheerful tone, the female shrugging her shoulders and maintaining a cheerful smile. The next to speak and back up Cecilia is non other than Charlotte, the blonde speaking in a cheerful and pleasant tone - "Well so long as we've got a good meal I'm not complaining".

The mood is excellent as the gang continue eating, the intense heat of the summer is hardly touching anyone now.. the air conditioned cafe is like being in a soothing heaven while the gang continue to dine. The next one to speak is an un-expected voice but a very familiar and friendly one that everyone seems to have been missing for a while now, the voice belonging to non other than Ichika himself, the black bushy haired male entering the cafe with Laura in tow.

The silver haired Laura looking like the cat that's got the cream for some reason, simply overjoyed and complete and down right full of joy. Ichika on the other hand feeling a bit weak in the legs and aches a little in the back and pelvis having gone for another 'round' with Laura before returning to the gang. The so called wonderful medicine that Laura had drugged Ichika with having worked an intense treat, the pair's second time being a repeat of the first except with more bliss and lasting longer than the first.

Ichika's crotch now soothed and spent for the time being but the male still feels light headed and a bit fuzzy in some areas, regardless the medicine of Laura is NOT in any way finished.. all Ichika has to do is keep his mind together and think out anything exciting and keep his eyes focused on the girl's faces rather than their bodies.. sure.. Ichika if he gets turned on can have some more 'fun' with Laura given the girl's blessing and somewhat demands.

Regardless Ichika is feeling a lot better now, the male not 100% at ease but the male can walk properly now.. though he tripped and fell down a few times on the way toward the cafe the male seems to have regained control of his legs. Just seeing young Kestrel again is enough to fill Ichika with joy and relief, the black haired Ichika in a cheerful tone speaking out the first words that come into his head as he returns to the gang - "Hey everyone, haven't missed anything have we?".

"Ichika?" - Houki speaks out in a pleasant and cheerful manner, all eyes shifting to look at Ichika with faces housing pleasant expressions. The black bushy haired Ichika raising a hand to wave hello to everyone as he returns to the gang, the silver haired Laura still maintaining a cheerful and overjoyed smile on her face as she stands directly beside Ichika with a love stricken expression.

"Orimura Sensei discussed anything interesting with you?" - Charlotte asks in a cheerful and curious manner, the blonde sitting up straight and looking the black haired male in the face. Ichika's response is one of confusion as the male gets an invisible anime style question mark appear above his head. The look on his face is one of equal confusion, his tone of voice is a perfect match as the male exclaims in a confused manner - "Huh?"

"Well you did say that Orimura sensei wanted to speak to you alone in person didn't she?" - Rin speaks out in a flat yet pleasant manner, the brunette reminding Laura of the bold excuse that both she and Ichika spun to the gang before the two.. shall one say.. sealed their vows - in a manner of speaking. Though Ichika used the excuse to go to the bathroom the male in all truth has been way too long to just need the lavatory.

In a case like this Ichika has got to have joined Laura in her discussion or at least.. Ichika's stomach was really upset and he had to take his time, regardless the question aimed at Laura is one that the silver haired female has been expecting, the silver haired female bobbing her head in a single nod and speaking in a cheerful yet bold and flat manner - "Oh Ja, but it's secret matters.. we'd rather nobody asks, Orimura sensei made it clear nobody is to ask questions".

"Fair enough" - Rin responds in a cheerful and flat manner with a shrug of the shoulders, the female oblivious to the truth that Laura and Ichika are guarding from everyone. Ichika feels the hammer smash down upon his head as Cecilia looks Ichika in the face and speaks in a cheerful and pleasant manner - "And are you feeling any better Ichika? You still seem a little flushed".

"Better than I was, Better than I was.. don't know what came over me" - Ichika replies in a slightly awkward manner, the male feeling his stomach rolling and churning in panic as he speaks his words the girls in the group having no idea of how true those words actually are. Only Laura knows what Ichika means by smiling in a highly overjoyed and giddy manner, the female showing her pearly white teeth as she tries not to titter in a girly manner.

Thankfully for Laura nobody.. except for young Kestrel notices Laura's smile, the scar faced ace merely blinking in a silent manner, not a whisper escapes from the ace as he watches Laura's grin with a blank expression. Cecilia speaks again as Ichika speaks out his words, the male is able to lie a bit easier by speaking a hint of truth.. just being thankful that nobody is able to understand the meaning of his words.

"Well so long as your alright that's all that matters" - Cecilia speaks out in a cheerful and pleasant manner, the blonde going back to eating without having a hint of doubt of what Ichika just said. Trying not to collapse with nerves and trying not to remind himself of the heavenly experience of going 'all the way' with Laura, the black bushy haired Ichika quickly chooses to change the subject as quickly as he can.. and with GOOD reason.

"Thanks.. I came back to look for everyone but everyone apart from Shimizuki-san and Yoshimoto sensei was back at the group" - Ichika speaks out in a nervous yet cheerful tone, the male being very careful that he does not give the game away. Ichika's move at changing the subject works a full treat as the gang go along with the change of subject. Kestrel ironically is the only one that seems to notice Laura silently rejoicing at something, the youngster simply rolls his eyes to look at Ichika as he takes another bite out of his fish.. as if working something out.

The youngster then shakes his head silently and rolls his eyes, as if to say 'you need help'.. what ever it is that Kestrel has just found out is anyone's guess.. is it possible that Kes has found out why it is that Laura is so happy? If so.. Ichika can't be in that much trouble.. Kestrel is NOT the person that betrays the person he looks up to as an older brother. Though then again he sings like a bird when Tsukiyo asks him about his past so.. has Kes found out about Laura and Ichika's alone time? Will he speak about it?

The reality is.. no.. not at all.. Kes is a person that respects another's privacy.. the youngster could find a woman teacher and one of her boy students living as a married couple together, raising some children together.. and he wouldn't speak a word about it to anyone else. Needless to say.. Laura can count her blessings that it was Kes that noticed her smile giving the game away, next time if she isn't careful.. she won't be so fortunate.

( A.N: Remember.. Kestrel never betrays those that have been there for him - a real diamond isn't he? )

"Yeah they said they'll watch our spot till we get back" - Megumi speaks out in a flat and casual manner, the dark blue haired beauty not fussed about talking about the adults but needless to say the female still happy enough in having the adults around them, for Megumi it's like going on a happy hour of drinking and gambling with her friends against her mother's wishes.. a typical trouble making hell raiser.. but that's no surprise - again.. this is Megumi after all.

"Sorry about having to change spots, seemed to have had to go along with the flow" - Houki speaks out in a cheerful and pleasant manner, the female feeling a bit awkward in mentioning the fact that the gang had to change spots to join with Kes. Though it's disappointing in not being alone with Ichika today, the girls like being around Kes and Tomoe, it seems the scar faced boy provides everyone with rays of happiness - albeit.. without him knowing.

"Don't worry about it, I actually really like the idea of us being all together" - Ichika speaks out in a pleasant and cheerful tone of his own, the male feeling a great deal of relief washing over him like a vast flood at being informed that the gang now ties in with Kes. At least with Kestrel being in the area Ichika can't be in any danger of the girls shenanigans, or at least.. that's the idea.

Ironically.. Charlotte seems to smile with excitement at the idea herself, the female feeling as though she's already won Ichika with her big sister or motherly instincts at being a gem around the long black haired ace who continues to mind his own business with Tomoe gazing at the said infant with a red flush up her neck and around her eyes. The blonde Charlotte can't help but smile at the sight her vocal tone is a perfect match as she speaks the words - "Yeah.. more the merrier".

"And you seem to be overjoyed Bodewig.. you look like the cat that's got the cream" - Rin speaks out in a flat casual manner, the female noticing that for some strange reason Laura is over the moon with something, the matter in this case is that she's not in the mood to try and find out. Laura responds immediately to Rin's words, the female looking the brunette in the face with a plain yet still very cheerful expression, the tone of voice on Laura's voice is a perfect match to the look on her face as she speaks out her reply back to the brunette - "Ja.. Ja, I am. It's nothing important.. just in a good mood today".

"So I see" - Yui comments in a cheerful manner, the female herself noticing the cheerful and near giddy expression on Laura's face, though like Rin.. Yui chooses not to try finding out the reason why, when it comes to Ichika and his females.. Yui like Kes chooses not to get involved.. it's not any of their business.

Ichika sadly isn't in much of a mood to continue the discussion and again.. he chooses to change the subject, the male beginning to shiver with panic and fret. The black bushy haired Ichika starting to feel the hammer smashing down on his head, dreading the game being given away. For all Laura is overjoyed and pampered with happiness Ichika can't say the same, if anything he feels as if he's just dug his own grave, awaiting the bullet in the back of the head.

"A..Anyway.. it's good to have us all together, it's like being back at the academy" - Ichika speaks out in a nervous manner, the black bushy haired male putting on the most cheerful and pleasant expression he can manage, the male resorting to desperate if kiddy tactics in order to maintain pleasantry. Cecilia is next to speak, the blonde housing a very cheerful and pleasant expression on her face as she looks at young Kestrel, the blonde speaking the words - "Sure is.. hey we found out that Kes likes fish".

"Great to hear it, has he tried the rice and the other stuff you all have?" - Ichika asks in a cheerful tone, male's nerves easing greatly at the mention of young Kestrel's name. The scar faced ace himself now having got to the tail end of the mackerel fish, the infant now able to eat what is left with just one hand now. Tomoe herself continues to eat in a casual and pleasant manner, minding her own business as Houki speaks out in a cheerful manner - "The rice was a success, so where the potatoes, the fruits we're a success but he didn't dare go near the chicken".

"Seems that Chicken is a no-no for Kes" - Charlotte speaks out in a pleasant yet casual manner, the blonde's smile lowering a little bit but the look in her eyes houses worry and pity. Though Ichika does not notice the slightly sad look in her eyes, the next one to speak giving away the game that something complicated is in the way is non other than Houki.

The black haired Houki's smile drops and a worried and sad look appears on her face, the dark haired female lowering her head as she speaks in a solemn tone - "Just placed a fragment in his mouth and he.. well..".

"He didn't have a turn did he?" - Ichika speaks out in a serious yet nervous manner, the black haired Ichika's worries concerning his females going away in one swift stroke and being replaced with the look of panic on his face. Thankfully for Ichika the male has no need to panic and fret as Cecilia is next to speak, the blonde sitting up straight and looking at the long black haired male with a look of pitty. The female speaking out in a solemn manner - "No but it was a close shave".

"Just spat the fragment out a matter of seconds after his eyes went into something like a trance" - Megumi speaks out in a concerned and worried manner, the female reaching out with a hand to rest upon one of Kestrel's hands. Next to speak, backing up her sister is non other than Tomoe.. the dark blue haired beauty reaching out with a hand of her own to hold onto Kestrel's arm, the slender curved beauty herself speaking in a highly concerned and worried tone - "To say it was close is just an understatement".

"It was thanks to Yui that he didn't have a turn, had she not told Kes to spit it out then it would have happened" - Houki speaks out in a serious yet worried tone of her own, the female sitting up straight and looking Yui in the face as she speaks her words, Houki wanting it to be known that Yui's quick thinking prevented anything serious from happening.

A moment of silence and pause appears in the air as the gang all look at Kes with concerned looks, the scar faced ace now placing the tail end of the mackerel in his mouth, the young boy's eyes are half glazed but thankfuly not in a 1,000 yard stare.. but one can easily see that the infant isn't out of the woods just yet, all it takes is one more tiny thing and the youngster gets a turn.

For this reason the gang have chosen to stay where they are for a while until the young ace can get his mind together, to say hearts are in the mouth is just an understatement of how tense everyone is when they monitor young Kes, one must remember that in this case.. a turn WILL come today, but as to when.. nobody knows, regardless the gang have mastered early warning systems via monitoring - so at least the gang are on their toes.

"Wonder what Chicken has to do with his past" - Ichika speaks out in a confused manner, the male shrugging his shoulders and shaking his head as he does so. The black bushy haired Ichika looking down at the scar faced Kes with a concerned expression. Laura herself seems to go silent.. the silver haired female's smile lowering but not going away, a giddy look seems to be slowly changing to alarm, but needless to say Laura's carefree look is a bit.. unexpected at a time like this.. needless to say Laura does at least show consideration which is what matters the most.

Next to speak is non other than Yui, the woman sitting up straight and frowning in a strict and serious manner, the female's tone of voice is serious yet calm as she chooses to end a serious change of subject right then and there - "That's private business for Otokawa's ears only, when he's ready to tell her he will".

As Yui finishes speaking the young scar faced ace finishes the last of his mackerel, the youngster placing the last of his food in his mouth with pure silence. The long black haired ace looking calm and at peace but the look in his eyes say a different story. Tomoe is next to speak, the female sliding herself and her chair over toward Kes to get very close.. as the dark blue haired goddess gets as close as possible to go toward Kes, the female speaks in a solemn and serious manner - "Same here, we ought to not go there".

"Right then.. so.. if everyone is in the same boat.. I'll go get some lunch" - Ichika speaks out, the black bushy haired Ichika seeming to be slow at movement as he turns to walk toward the counter. Laura's smile has now fully dropped, a concerned and slightly sickly look appears on Laura's face as she carefully follows Ichika toward the food counter, the silver haired female speaking out the words - "Ja.. I will also".

As two youths walk away toward the counter, continuously turning to look back at young Kes with serious looks.. another unwelcome pause and silence befalls the gang, even as young Kes begins to lick and suck his fingers clean of any trace of his meal, the gang are uncomfortable with a difficult aura in the air. As the females around Kes turn to look each other in the faces, nobody dares speak a word.

It takes a full three minutes before at last, in a worried and sickly tone, Charlotte breaks the silence. The blonde balling her hands into fists and shaking with nerve, the female losing a bit of colour in her face as she speaks in a solemn manner - "I don't want to know".

"Know what?" - Megumi asks in a flat and serious manner, the dark blue haired female trying not to be rude and blunt with her words but regardless.. as always.. this is Megumi one is talking about. Next to speak is non other than Rin, the brunette looking the blonde in the face and speaking in a blunt and stern manner. The brunette looking Charlotte in the face and speaking out the words - "What you talking about Dunois?".

"What ever the answer is to our Kes'es past, I don't want to know the answers" - Charlotte speaks out, the blonde being fully honest with what she says. The blonde daring to not even want to hear the truth as to why it is that Chicken plays a grim factor in the youngster's past. Everyone seems to share the same feelings that Charlotte feels right now toward the scar faced ace and his past.

Another pause befalls the gang as young Kes finishes up, the youngster drying his hands on his desert camouflage clothing, with a full meal now eaten the gang know that Kes has eaten plenty. Given the fact that Kes only eats small amounts of food, what Kes has eaten will be plenty for quite a while now.. which.. that in itself is very worrying, if Kes continues to eat like a bird then it's a worry that he'll be seriously under weight.

For all Kestrel isn't large and for all the youngster is skinny and has a healthy amount of weight on him, the youngster has difficulty taking down a full meal like the others in the gang. That in itself is curious to think about when one considers though there's no muscles and abs on the youngster.. his strength is abnormal and horrific, out of this world. This amount of facts is made all too clear as Rin looks at the scar faced ace with a seriously worried look on her face as she speaks the words - "I actually want to know".

"I think we agreed we wouldn't go there today" - Yui speaks out in a bold and stern manner, though Yui isn't being strict the female is defensive in this case. No sooner after Yui speaks, the mood changes to submission from the girls in the gang.. the exceptions being Tomoe and Megumi whom haven't gotten involved in probing for answers. Houki is the one that responds to Yui, the female sitting up straight.. looking Yui in the face and lowering her head in a solemn manner.

"Sorry miss Sakurada.. it's.. it's just that.." - Houki speaks out in an emotional mixed manner, the response from Yui is a lighten up look in her eyes, the female just happy in the knowledge that those around Kes are doing this for his benefit. Yui's response to Houki is a straight expression but the tone of voice on Yui goes along the lines of 'thank you' in a pure grateful manner, the woman's words also say this all too well - "Yeah.. it's alright I know".

"Well.. um.. going back to more pleasant matters.. err.. is anyone up for doughnut after lunch?" - Megumi speaks out in a pleasant and cheerful tone, the female shifting herself up close and personal to Kes as she speaks her words. The response from everyone is a mere positive reaction, smiles return to the gang.. including Ichika and Laura whom are in the middle of ordering their lunches.

Only Kes remains silent and un-phased by the words but then again.. PTSD.. Kestrel.. it's just Kes being Kes, nothing to worry about. Next to speak in an cheerful and pleasant manner is non other than Rin, the brunette sitting up straight and raising a hand above her head as she speaks only two words - "You bet".

"Hell yeah" - Houki speaks out in a cheerful and pleasant manner, the female now swallowing her dread with happiness as the mood brightens up around the gang. Next to speak is Cecilia the blonde sitting up straight and in a typical character like manner, the female shifting her focus toward Kes in a full overjoyed manner - "I'm going to eat with Kes here".

"We're in trouble" - Tomoe comments in a cheerful and pleasant tone, the female now having gotten her arm linked with that of Kestrel's. The response to Tomoe's words comes from the dark haired Houki, the said female speaking in a cheerful and overjoyed manner - "Nah.. a doughnut or two won't hurt anyone".

"Yeah well I'm eating with Ichika" - Rin puts in with a cheerful and excited look on her face, from where he is standing Ichika feels a knife drive itself into his back, as if a dark matter of doom and crisis is about to smash him down into the ground. Ichika knows what this means.. doughnuts.. himself.. the girls.. another damn problem to deal with, but at least this time.. Laura isn't going to be fussed.. given she's already had a 'treat' from Ichika this morning already.

"Who said that you could?" - Cecilia asks in a stern and serious tone, the blonde obviously not ashamed in protesting toward Rin's idea of wanting to eat with Ichika, but then again that was to be expected. Rin responds immediately to Cecilia's words, the brunette in turn looks Cecilia in the face and scowls in a serious and angered manner of her own, the said female looking Cecilia in the eyes and speaking back two words in a frosty reply - "I did".

Before anyone else has the chance to speak Rin speaks again, the brunette standing to her feet and focusing her attention solely on Ichika. The female smiles in a very warm and clearly overjoyed manner and with a perfect matching tone on her voice, the female speaks out the words - "Hey Ichika.. you up for doughnuts after lunch?"

"Sure.. so long as we pay together" - Ichika responds in a pleasant yet awkward manner of his own, the male suddenly feeling the urge to run off as fast as his limbs will allow. For some strange reason Ichika's got a foul sense of foreboding in his body. Though Ichika wants to decline the offer.. which he COULD.. the male's mouth speaks before his mind has the chance to think of some form of excuse.

The mighty police woman Tsukiyo says nothing but takes a sip of her wine from the glass, the police woman seeming to like watching the youngsters deal with their respective problems.

Ichika slaps himself in the face in a mental way, the male feeling a mental kick in the testicles as he feels the gazes of all but Kestrel's females burn into his body. The black bushy haired Ichika having learned to shrug off the gazes merely smiles in a nervous manner as he looks back toward Rin with a pleasant yet worried expression. Rin in return seems to narrow her eyes and a carnivorous look appears in her eyes, one that looks like it's ready to eat Ichika at a second's notice.

"Consider it done" - Rin responds in a cheerful and excited manner, the brunette clearly up to something, the female trying not to grin as she speaks her words. Charlotte is next to speak, the blonde crossing her arms and casting over a fierce and aggressive frown over toward Rin, the blonde's tone of voice and choice of words say it all the way the said blonde is feeling right now - "What the hell are you up to Rin?".

"You ain't got no right to eat alone with Ichika" - Houki speaks in a stern and annoyed manner, the female forgetting the fact that she's getting competitive over the black haired Ichika, who in turn.. simply gulps in a highly nervous manner, the male's smile dropping and his nerves running on auto pilot.. again.. at least with Laura he hasn't got any need to fear, for obvious reasons.

From where Kestrel, Tomoe and Megumi are sitting with Yui, the four persons merely all turn to look each other in the faces, nobody says a word at first but merely look at each other and effectively roll their eyes or shrug shoulders in an 'oh boy' moment. The scar faced Kestrel does neither of the two but merely blinks in silence, the look in his almost formed 1,000 yard stare eyes share the same feelings as those of Tomoe, Megumi and Yui.

Tomoe despite being arm in arm with Kes leans back in her chair and with her free hand, face palms herself. The female shakes her head a little before lowering her hand away from her face and in a low huff yet suiting tone speaks out the words - "Here we go again".

"No control" - Megumi puts in with an amused smirk, the dark blue goddess bodied beauty taking amusement at seeing the girls starting to squabble and starting to have words with each other, allowing Ichika to slowly make his way to an isolated table with Laura in tow, the male having ordered a ramen lunch with Laura ordering the same meal that Kes has not long since eaten.

Tsukiyo who continues to remain silent seems to smirk with affectionate amusement at hearing what the youths are saying, the officer seems to find watching Ichika and his girl troubles very interesting.. if anything unpleasant occurs she'll be on hand to stop it.

As Ichika sits at an isolated table, Laura joins him.. the silver haired girl continuously gazing in a love struck manner at the black bushy haired Ichika, Ichika in turn merely smiles in a nervous manner but at least acknowledges Laura with the holding of hands.

As this happens, Yui speaks something in Hebrew to the scar faced Kestrel. The long black haired ace with his silver star of David gleaming in the light takes a casual look at the girls that are in a bit of a verbal confrontation with each other. As the scar faced ace looks back toward Yui the infant remains silent, joining him in his observation is Tomoe and Megumi who seem to find the sight of notable interest.

As soon as Kes takes one final look at Rin, Houki, Charlotte and Cecilia the youngster simply shrugs his shoulders and dismisses any thoughts. As the scar faced ace looks Yui in the face the youngster only has one thing to say, the infant speaking in his usual timid yet girlish tomboy tone something in Hebrew. As soon as Kes finishes speaking his words the ressult from Yui is amusement via a titter and a beaming smile.

Only know does Tomoe notice that there has been a discussion between Yui and Kestrel, though not much of a discussion the dark blue beauty knows that what ever it is.. it has to be nice because of Yui smiling in a pleasant and cheerful manner. Tomoe housing a cheerful and pleasant smile on her face speaks out the words in her usual pleasant characteristic tone - "He said something miss Sakurada?".

"Just telling him about what the commotion is with Ichika" - Yui replies in a cheerful and pleasant tone of her own, the female seeming to take amusement in mentioning the fact that Ichika's in a bit of a predicament at the moment. Tomoe still arm in arm with Kestrel merely maintains her warm and cheerful smile as she looks Yui in the face and speaks back one question - "So what did he have to say back?"

"He said 'there's bound to be a catch'" - Yui replies in a cheerful and pleasant manner, the woman joining Kes in watching the girls all gather round Ichika's table. Ichika now disappearing behind the fronts of Cecilia, Rin, Houki and Charlotte. Tomoe joins suit and before the youngster's know it.. they watch in interest as Ichika finds himself now swamped by his self proclaimed lovers, the only one not causing much trouble of course being Laura.

While nobody says a word the words translated by Yui seem to echo in the brains of Tomoe, Megumi and Yui.. yet again.. for all Kestrel does not speak much, when he does it's right to the point and for some strange reason.. his wise words.. or comical ones at times ALWAYS hit the nail on the head, the words translated by Yui seem to predict an ominous sign of what is GOING to happen in the VERY near future.. 'there's bound to be a catch'.

- 20 minutes later -

( A.N: Don't worry you haven't missed anything with the time skip )

Finally after completing a successful lunch even if it was a bit rough and tense at the end, the gang are now fully fed and ready to take on the day again. The youths now having finished eating and exchanged various pleasantries with each other now prepare to take on the beach again. For all nobody wants to leave the bliss of the fully air conditioned cafe, Megumi was at hand to let everyone know that the nearby beach front arcade is well ventilated with air conditioning.. the said female being useful for once instead of being a pain in the ass hell raiser.

As the youths and the adults leave the cafe and into the intense heat of the summer, the intense heat thankfully is slow in taking hold of the youths and the two adults, needless to say.. the heat is like some foul furnace awaiting everyone.. but thankfully the arcade is only two buildings away and not much of a walk for everyone.

Kestrel as always is arm in arm with two females on either side, Tomoe occupies the left while this time.. a surprise visitor occupies the right, the person being non other than Tsukiyo herself. When asked why the mighty police woman in her one piece swimsuit wanted to be arm in arm with Kes, the woman used the excuse that she wanted to have Kestrel's arm be free of Megumi for a while.

While this came as a bit of a let down and annoyance for Megumi, everyone was curious as to if Tsukiyo's statement is true.. did the woman want to let Kes be free of Megumi or did she want to hold the youngster's arm? If so then it's obviously for the want of feeling the youngster's soft snug feeling, which is addictive for anyone and everyone.

Regardless, for some reason.. Tsukiyo seems to be at peace, as if she's had the most heavenly slumber and she's woke up feeling on top of the world, like a rich woman who's won more millions at the same time. The police woman seems to be at peace when in arm and arm with the scar faced Kes, obviously the gang has found some stress relief for the police woman, not that they would say it of course.

Anyhow.. Kestrel's formation is arm in arm with Tomoe and Tsukiyo, Yui and Megumi occupy the sides of both Tomoe and Tsukiyo, with Megumi occupying Tomoe's flank with the police woman Otokawa occupying Yui's flank.

As for Ichika, the male is absent for the moment.. the black bushy haired male not available at the moment, nor for that matter is Rin. Ichika's reason for being absent from the group was down to wanting to get a drink, while Rin claimed she wanted to use the bathroom. The only ones that are with Kestrel and the group are non other than Houki, Laura, Cecilia and Charlotte. Laura as usual continues to look like the cat that's got the cream, while the other three are simply happy at being in the presence of familiar company.

As Cecilia, Charlotte, Houki and Cecilia lead the way toward the arcade area, doing their best to shrug off the intense sunlight that is slowly heating up their cooled down bodies - the first to speak is Cecilia, the blonde fanning her face with her hand, the female housing a very pleasant and cheerful smile on her face speaks in a perfectly matching tone - "I must say.. I hold our young Kes here in great admiration, must be a blessing to thrive in weather like this".

The next to speak is Charlotte, the blonde placing both hands behind her back and walking in a pleasant and cheerful manner, the blonde also trying to shake off the intense heat that beats down upon the gang. The blonde's smile is well maintained and the tone of voice is a perfect match as the blonde speaks out the words - "This is what I love".

The response from the gang is silence for a few seconds but needless to say there's a good amount of pleasantry in the air, knowing that Charlotte has more to say.. the gang remain silent and keep their smiles as they allow Charlotte to speak again. As the blonde speaks again her cheerful smile and very welcome pleasantry does not drop for a single second- "Eating lunch and spending time with everyone, I mean.. I'd love to just spend time with Ichika but.. I also love spending time with everyone else also".

"It's something to savour" - Yui comments in a cheerful tone of voice, the dark haired woman herself doing her best to shrug off the fierce horrific heat and blazing hot sun beams. Next to speak is Tsukiyo, the police woman maintaining an ace badass appearance and keeping herself as powerful as one can imagine, the black haired police woman with her glasses gleaming in the sun light houses an affectionate smirk on the face as she speaks out in a pleasant manner - "No troubles, no worries and no hardships".

"Speaking of hardships, it looks like Kes'es trio have returned" - Houki comments in a flat yet cheerful manner, the dark haired female briefly pointing with her left hand forward of the walking gang, causing all attention to focus on what is going on in front of the group. Past the many different males and females of nearly all ages, the gang look with interest, not daring to stop for fears of heat suffering.

There.. indeed.. for the gang to behold, the very familiar faces and bodies of Yuno, Rie and Konoe appear at last, the trio having changed into their own respective swimsuits and now able to spend time away from the N.C.A, the group of mothers, fathers and children for the moment being absent from the gang.. but then again.. there are a few noticeable faces making an appearance dressed in a summer time manner so at least the hunch that the trio are free from staff duty has been confirmed.

Despite being a distance away from the gang, the said group can easily make out the swimsuits on the familiar trio. Rie wears a tropical yellow bikini style swimsuit, for all Rie hasn't got the body like Tomoe and Megumi she's still keeping herself healthy. Yuno wears a one piece dark purple swimsuit, the swimsuit having various sets of bright tropical flower patterns on the material, while Konoe wears a bikini style, swimsuit.. except.. for a noticeable feature, the female's swimsuit is half swimsuit and half Hawaiian dress, the top half is normal silver holding a nice little bust while the lower half is silver underwear obscured by long grass typical on Hawaiian dress.

Konoe even has a flower necklace round her neck with a tropical flower set in her hair, the female also having some tropical flowers tied around her bare foot ankles and with a pair around her wrists. Obviously Konoe has some special skills to show off to Kestrel today, so the gang have to prepare themselves for a bit of a fuss today. The scar faced Kestrel's response to the sight is nothing more than a few blinks of the eyes.. no great reaction except for casual acknowledgement.. but then again this is Kes.

"Yeah.. so they have" - Tomoe remarks in a cheerful yet impressed manner, the female feeling an bolt of irritation hammer itself into her heart.. just when she thought the day was going to be difficult with Megumi, she now has to deal with Rie, Konoe and Yuno.. but at least those three are more welcome than Megumi, so at least it's not a total loss.

Megumi is fast to show her disapproval of the moment to the gang by frowning in a stern and irritated manner, the said female shaking her head and trying not to snarl at the moment, her vocal tone is a perfect match as she speaks out the words - "That's all we need".

"You can always go back to mother Megu'" - Tomoe speaks out in a cocky yet amused manner, the female obviously happy at making her older sister feel even worse.. after all it's always Megumi that does it to Tomoe so at least in this case it's a nice bit of personal vengeance. Megumi not surprisingly turns to look Tomoe in the eyes with a stern expression, the said female balling her hands into fists as if ready for a fist fight. Megumi only speaks four words in a serious manner back to her little sister - "Oh no ya don't!".

"And she has the nerve to say we don't have any control" - Houki speaks out in an amused manner, the female trying to fire some personal vengeance back at Megumi. Megumi not responding due to being in contest with Tomoe. Trying not to burst out laughing though she houses an overjoyed and amused grin on her face, Cecilia attempts to make an amused conversation with Ichika, only to find to out that Ichika is absent.. the blonde's innocent mistake in forgetting that fact seems to make her look a bit adorable.

"Ichika did you get.. huh? Ichika?" - Cecilia speaks out in a confused manner, the blonde turning to look around her as she slowly walks forward with the gang. Houki ironically suffering the same bout of forgetfulness suddenly notices that Rin is absent also. The look on Houki's face suddenly changing to confused like that of Cecilia's as the dark haired female speaks out one name - "Rin?".

"Rin said she had to go the ladies didn't she?" - Tsukiyo speaks out in a casual yet pleasant enough manner, the black haired police woman not breaking arm lock with young Kes for a single second. As if on cue, Cecilia's facial expression changes to one of concern as she looks back the way the gang came with a look of concern and illness as if she's just inhaled a rancid foul stench, her vocal tone is a good match as she speaks the words - "Don't tell me she's got a dodgy gut like Ichika".

"Hmm.. hope not, hope there's nothing going around" - Charlotte speaks out in a concerned tone of her own, the blonde now regretting the fact that she left Rin alone back the cafe, Ichika still being absent is a cause for concern also.. but then again.. it can't be anything serious or suspicious. Ichika's excuse in getting a drink could also be coupled with the fact that he is suffering from a bad stomach.. or so he said.

"Probably summer heat effecting everyone" - Yui speaks out in a cheerful manner, the female not in any way panicking or feeling any cause of concern for Ichika, sure.. Yui likes Ichika a lot as she does the rest of the girls around her but her main priority and concern is young Kes. The black haired Yui effectively shrugging off Ichika and Rin being absent in a silent manner.

Next to speak is Tomoe herself, the dark blue haired beauty rolling her eyes and shrugging her shoulders as she mentions Ichika's excuse for being absent, as lame as it seems to be and sounds, nobody pays it much heed. Kestrel seems to already know why Laura was in such a good mood and why Ichika seemed worn out, but since the infant isn't involved the scar faced ace simply minds his own business.

( A.N: Again.. a diamond ain't he readers? )

As Tomoe speaks, the said dark blue haired beauty simply shrugs off any concerns with the overjoyed fact that she is arm in arm with Kes, as if her spot is forever reserved for the said beauty. The tone of voice on Tomoe is a perfect match for the non-concerned state of mind on Tomoe as she speaks the words - "Ichika said he needed to get a drink didn't he?".

"Oh yeah.. damn I hate it when that happens" - Cecilia comments patting her temple as she speaks her words, the blonde shaking her head and rolling her eyes as she speaks her words. Charlotte ironically does not see any coincidence between Ichika and Rin's absence herself but merely shrugs her shoulders and places a brave smile on her face as she speaks out the words - "Well so long as Ichika's alright that's all I'm bothered about".

"Well since Ichika's absent you ladies know what this means don't you?" - Houki asks in a cheerful and pleasant tone, the looks from Cecilia, Charlotte and now Laura change to ones of curiosity, Laura having been too lost in a world of her own only know seems to pay attention to the words being said around her.. but then again.. since Ichika and her exchanged their 'vows' as it where.. the silver haired female has been away with the fairies all day.

A moment of silence befalls the gang as Cecilia, Charlotte and Laura all look at Houki with confused expressions, the cheerful beaming smile on her face makes it clear that what ever it is that Houki has in mind, it has to be something good. As Cecilia and Charlotte turn their heads to look at each other, Houki breaks the silence and freezes in her tracks, a mere few feet away from the entrance of the arcade areas.

On cue the gang stop in their tracks and all attention is directed at Houki, the dark haired Houki places both hands behind her back and lowers her front in a somewhat timid lady like bow as she looks young Kestrel in the eyes. The sound of voice is overjoyed and excited as Houki looks young Kes in the eyes and in a girly and giddy manner speaks out the words - "Kes has got to treat us while Ichika's absent".

The response from the other females in the group is a mix of surprise and bewilderment, though after a few seconds Tomoe shoots over a very strict and annoyed frown over toward Houki, the reaction from Houki is a drop of the smile and a look of 'what.. what did I do?' look on her face. On the other hand, the reactions from Megumi, Laura, Cecilia and Charlotte are girlish joy and excitement, nothing but smiles appear on the girl's faces.

As Houki stands up straight and averts her eyes away from Tomoe's very un-happy glare, the mood among the girls is bright and cheerful, only young Kestrel seems to be as confused as hell while Tsukiyo and Yui look each other in the faces with straight expressions as if at loss for words yet at the same time not all that supportive of the idea.

Tomoe is about to up and speak, the dark blue beauty about to really drive a vast amount of condemning attitude into Houki's neck.. the frown on her face saying it all.. but as the said beauty is about to speak.. Houki can thank her stars that a friendly and familiar voice breaks the silence, the voice belonging to none other than Kazumi. The woman appearing behind the gang from out of nowhere and with a cheerful and very friendly facial expression on her face speaking out the words - "Haven't missed anything have we?".

As the gang all turn to face Kazumi, the black haired Kaede appears herself beside Kazumi.. the two adult women of course receive a very warm and pleasant welcome from the others in the gang.

Tomoe with a surprised yet pleasant look on her face merely speaks out two words, the dark blue haired beauty clearly happy in seeing her beloved mother return to the group and with Kaede also makes the moment a lot more pleasant - "Oh, mother".

"Tomo'.. Megu'" - Kazumi replies in a cheerful and pleasant manner, the woman acknowledging her daughters with a pleasant and cheerful bow and sweet pleasant smile. As soon as Yui notices Kaede, the said woman's heart beats rapidly and swells and dances with utter joy and excitement, the woman's body heats up greatly and a burning sensation erupts from deep within her stomach. With a cheerful and excited smile on her face, a faint red flush under her eyes, the woman merely looks Kaede in the face and speaks out the woman's name - "Kaede".

Kaede with an equally excited and bashful expression on her face seems to become giddy yet in a silent adult manner, the woman places both hands behind her back and the said woman seemingly trying not to skip and dance on the spot merely looks Yui in the face with a love stricken gaze and merely bobs her head in return, the woman says nothing but the grin on her face gives it away that she's overjoyed right now.

- With Ichika -

Having managed to regain full control over his body reactions and now seemingly clear of the effects of Laura's so called medicine treatment, the black bushy haired Ichika now at last has a chance to unwind a bit and get his head together concerning this morning's event with Laura. The black haired Ichika now having bought a bag of doughnuts casually held in one hand.. takes the chance to rest a'top a large balcony overlooking the beach, the ocean and the many numbers of people in full fledged entertainment with each other.

While the top floors of a beach front restaurant would normally be hard to access the male has managed to slip past people and gain access to the roof of the cafe in order to clear his mind of the many masses of thoughts that race and clash against one another in his mind.

As Ichika rests the bag of steaming hot, sugar coated doughnuts a'top of the ledge, the male rests his elbows on the hot stone, the male able to deal with the warm stone heated by the sunlight, the many sounds of festivity and joy echo and ring out in the intense hot summer air. The male lowers his head and closes his eyes for a moment, the male obviously a mass of swarming and swirling thoughts and conflicting emotions.

As Ichika places his face in his hands, the male shakes his head. As Ichika then looks through his parted fingers and toward the blue pacific ocean the male speaks in a solemn and conflicting manner, his tone is a perfect match to the look on his face - "God damn it.. I don't know if I should be happy or moody right now".

As Ichika closes his eyes and burries his face in his hands, the male fails to notice that a certain female.. one with brunette hair is standing a mere few feet behind him, the brunette of course being non other than the familiar Rin, the female looking at the back of Ichika with a fire love struck gaze, the female's eye pupils seem to have turned into love hearts.

Of all the times that Rin has had the chance to make a move against Ichika, the female has gone for now.. the female thankfully oblivious to the fact that Laura has beaten her to spending the most 'intense' of alone times with Ichika today. Sadly for Ichika.. the male hardly knows that if he thinks he's getting away with sleeping around just once today.. he can think again.. for Rin has the same look in her eyes that Laura had this morning, and in a few seconds Ichika will see it again.

As Rin slowly makes her way up toward Ichika, her hands parted and raised like a staggering zombie.. the female houses a very intense blush on her face, the female seems to be hypnotised by the mere sight of Ichika.. even though she's in the right state of mind.. or at least.. sanity wise.. if one wants to call it that.

As Rin walks forward toward Ichika the female overjoyed and love stricken by the mere sight of Ichika the said female speaks out one phrase in a pure love struck and slightly lust filled manner - "Your going to be happy my love".

Ichika's eyes widen in shock and surprise, the male tenses up and freezes in his tracks, the colour seems to leave him right then and there.. the male knows who that voice belongs to, he just can't believe it. As Ichika trembles a little in nervous anticipation the male slowly stands up straight and very slowly turns his head to the right, turning his body as he does so.. the male looks as if he's on the verge of pissing himself as he turns to face the owner of that voice, only one exclamation comes out of the male's voice - "Huh?".

"Ichika.. your going to eat with me alone today" - Rin comments as she straightens her posture, the female opening her arms as if she wants a hug.. walking slowly up toward Ichika with a love struck expression. Ichika seems to loose all feeling in his knees, the male slowly places his back against the stone wall of the balcony and slowly slides down onto his rear. Only the top of the male's head can be seen in a virtual manner behind the balcony wall.. that is.. if anyone is watching, only the bag of doughnuts can be seen clearly on the top of the balcony wall.

Gulping and trembling in a nervous yet highly excited manner, the male housing a shocked expression on his face.. the male looks the love stricken Rin in the face and speaks out in a nervous and careful manner - "What? Rin? Err.. ahh.. Is something wrong?".

In a matter of seconds Rin makes it up toward Ichika, the brunette seems to have an excited sprint in her pace as she gets down on her knees and starts to act like an excited cat having cornered a mouse. As Rin starts to make her love stricken move, the female with half closed love struck eyes.. places an index finger against the black bushy haired Ichika's lips, the female in a manner which holds vast untold amounts of love speaks out the words - "Hush my sweet.. today you let mama Rin look after you".

"Ah.. so I take it you'd like to eat some doughnuts with me?" - Ichika asks in a lame and awkward manner as if trying to delay something, the male has a good idea of what Rin is wanting.. it's the same look he saw in Laura's eyes this morning. For all Ichika isn't about to jump to conclusions he has a good idea of what is about to come next, already.. his member.. his very love tool.. starts to stiffen, his stomach is rolling and churning in excitement.

"They're our treat for later" - Rin replies in a lovey dovey tone, the female straddling Ichika, placing her lower person down upon Ichika's own lower person, the brunette places her arms around Ichika's neck, the female batts her lashes as she gazes into Ichika's eyes. Ichika trembling and trying not to get overly excited himself stutters with nerves, the male speaking out in a nervous manner - "A.. A..After what?".

Rin licks her lips and starts to breathe heavily through her nostrils, the female grinning as soon as she's licked her lips in a slightly exciting manner. Ichika gulps and tenses up and waits for a reply which does come.. but what Rin does next is so fast he hardly has time to react, the female goes straight for Ichika's lips, the female effectively throwing herself at him in a kamikaze manner, the only words that Ichika hears come from Rin's mouth is an overjoyed.. excited and carnivorous - "Come to mama!".

As Rin's lips contact Ichika's the female places her hand at the back of Ichika's head, certainly going all out to smother Ichika in a love struck french kiss that Ichika never could have imagined Rin could perform. As Rin snogs Ichika's face off him, the female places her other hand against Ichika's chest and begins to stroke and caress his chest, Ichika's member suddenly gets a surge of power and goes rock solid.

Rin seems to notice this as she smooches away and hums in delight, the female seems to slowly move her hips backward slowly and then forward as if trying grind on a leg, the female's nose starts to bleed a drop of blood with excitement as she smooches away with steadfast determination.

Ichika in response raises an arm as if on reflex the male accidentally knocking over the bag of doughnuts but thankfully it's just the one that tumbles out of the bag and rolls across the balcony, the male's other hand reaches for the back of Rin's head.. the male seems to loose all sense of rational thought and goes on animal instinct like that of Rin, the male holding Rin in a lover's embrace.

As this happens, the lone doughnut rolls across the balcony, the doughnut then falls onto a black metal pipe and rolls downward toward a shade tarpaulin. As the doughnut lands on the tarpaulin the dessert item gains some speed and rolls down the fabric. Upon reaching the end the doughnut is suddenly propelled through the air after bouncing onto a set of helium filled balloons tied to a selling stall.

As the doughnut bounces off the helium balloons the doughnut then impacts the top of another tarpaulin the doughnut then goes with one final hard bounce and goes flying through the air at great speed, soaring and sailing toward non other than Kestrel's group. By now the gang are in a pleasant discussion with both Kazumi and Kaede.

As the doughnut heads toward Kestrel's group.. nobody notices the said object heading their way, it is not until the last few seconds that young Kes blinks in silence and just happens to look up toward the blue sky, only to notice the ringed doughnut heading his way. The youngster's response is a timid yet surprised widen of the eyes a little.

It is only at the last second does everyone notice the doughnut heading their way, Megumi hardly even has the chance to say 'incoming'.. instead all that comes from the gang is a silent set of surprised faces, it is non other than young Kes who reacts in response to the incoming flying doughnut. The scar faced ace simply reaches out with one of his hands despite being arm in arm with both Tomoe and Tsukiyo.

As the doughnut lands in Kestrel's hand in a perfect saving catch, the reaction from the adults and the young females is one of amazement and surprise. The females all blink in surprise and turn to face each other with the expressions that go along the lines of, 'what the heck just happened?'. While Kestrel on the other hand has a reaction of curious interest.

As Kazumi and Kaede start to look around to see if they can see anyone who has lost a doughnut, the reaction from the other females is one of pure curious and innocent reaction. As Tomoe and Tsukiyo look down among the many people that crowd the street front, the reaction from Kestrel is a very characteristic response.

The scar faced infant places the doughnut up toward his face, the infant then carefully inhales the ringed treat with two timid sniffs like a curious wolf and then.. with a mere shrug of the shoulders matched with a straight expression that goes along the lines of 'what the hell', the infant places the doughnut up toward his mouth, as the youngster opens his mouth.. the razor bladed fangs in his mouth stand out in the sunlight, then.. with a single chomp.. the youngster takes a bite out of the ringed doughnut.

As Kes eats away the top of the doughnut that landed 'strangely' in his hands, the scar faced infant breaks the silence as he eats the treat.. except.. this time.. the youngster speaks in a tongue that so far only Cecilia can speak. It's not his native Hebrew he speaks out, it's the tongue that Cecilia's people and the people of America invented. Funnily enough.. what Kes has to speak makes the moment look very comical and slightly amusing, as if he knew this was about to happen.. the words that young Kestrel speaks is a perfect match to the moment.

"I said there'd be a catch!" - The scar faced Kestrel speaks out in his timid tomboyish voice, the long black haired ace speaking out in a manner as if he's in a world of his own, the youngster has half open.. glazed.. 1,000 yard stare eyes.

Upon hearing young Kestrel speak his words, the reaction from the females in the group is one of intense bewilderment and surprise, nearly all but Tomoe and Cecilia all exclaim in a highly surprised and stunned manner - "Huh!?".

Cecilia seems to push her way past the other females as she takes the chance to get up close and personal to the scar faced Kes who seems to mind his own business, getting ready to take down his first mouth full of the doughnut. Cecilia.. wide eyed with a stunned facial expression can't help but smile in a slightly flattered manner, though this is not the first time everyone has heard the youngster speak in a foreign tongue.. it's still pleasant to hear his small, timid voice.

Tsukiyo with a surprised look on her face, raises an eyebrow and in a curious yet inquisitive manner speaks out one set of words - "Hang on that's.. English".

The reaction from young Kestrel is a curious yet concerned blink of the eyes as he lifts his head to look up at Tsukiyo, the scar faced ace looking as if he's just watched the police woman dribble on her own shoes. The response from the other females is pure silence, it takes a few more seconds for everyone to start looking at each other with smiles and looks of pure impressed attitude.. if that's English.. and not in singing.. then is Kes finally getting to the point where he can speak to everyone?

Right then everyone.. that's it for now.. as always everyone.. NO P.M's, open reviews only if you please and keep em pleasant, but then again as I've always said.. "If you don't like this fic, DON'T read it" simple as that. Right then.. so, it's excellent writing to you all, keeps my mind active and keeps me busy and I know it's making my neighbours, my nephew and nieces happy, and yes.. I am stuck in the predicament of being pressured for continuing the thriller.. so what can I do?

Right then, I'll be back in 1 month or 2 with the next chapter, and that chapter as you now KNOW will have Ichika X Rin. Like I promised.. I am going to involve Harem lemons, and yes I'm thinking of my last request.. one girl finds out and then she joins in and then that leads to Harem.. but like I said, if anyone else wants to see certain build ups then let me know in the open reviews, I'll see what I can do as this is now a TEAM effort.

So.. well, that's it for now.. stay safe due to Covid 19 and if your writing your own fics then may they have ALL the top reviews, favs and follows. So.. until next time, I'll see everyone again soon.

Stay awesome and stay cool everyone
