Open!

Who: Kazuma Ikezawa, Schwartz the cat, anyone who wants to join him!
When: Monday afternoon
Where: A park somewhere in Sector 4
Summary: The weather isn't great, but it's good enough for a little Kenpo practice in the park
Warnings: None right now, will edit if necessary

The rains for the morning had subsided just as the school day ended, leaving the sky cloudy but the air just warm enough to be bearable. Kazuma had been itching to get back in to practicing outside, and with his girlfriend at work for the latter part of the afternoon, he decided this was as good of time as any to run through a few sets in the park near where they lived.

After a quick trip home to change, he headed back with Domon's cat, Schwartz following along either by way of sidewalks or balancing on fences behind him. Where his own cat Kana actually seemed more than content to be inside all the time, Schwartz actually enjoyed being outdoors and was surprisingly dog-like in his ability to follow either of his new owners around and never get too far away. It worked out well, considering how often the darkness could easily take a domestic animal.

Once Kazuma had found a suitable spot to practice, he set his bag down and watched as Schwartz went to find a tree to curl up under. Putting himself in to a stance, the lanky teen stretched for several minutes. After that he started moving expertly through the moves, hands and feet striking out at an invisible opponent, completely focused on his task.

Obviously this would be the best time to bother him, wouldn't it?

'Sup, bro.

It was the cat he noticed first, honestly. He knew that cat -- the one that didn't constantly try to coax affection from him. With this cat around, surely . . . Damn it, this forgetting names thing was really pissing him off. But his friend must be here somewhere, was the point.

Right. There he was. Doing katas, apparently. Hitsugaya knew better than to disturb that. So he waited a few moments, leaning causually against the tree under which the cat lay, just watching the motions. Sure, there were holes in the technique, but overall, it wasn't bad. Hakuda wasn't precisely Hitsugaya's strongest point either.

When there was a pause in the practice, he deigned to speak up. "Hey."

She had arrived home after work to the sight of only one cat in the apartment. Nadeko knew she shouldn't have been worried, but considering the kind of environment they were in, she knew she had every right to be. So, after dropping off her backpack and changing out of work clothes, she went out the door once again to look for her missing boyfriend and cat.

Luckily, she didn't have to go too terribly far. She found the both of them rather quickly ... and then found that she didn't want to interrupt his training. She found a place nearby to watch him with a smile, and ... well. Watched. Like a creeper, obviously.

Training was never something to be interrupted for no good reason; hell knew how annoyed Hitsugaya would have been had someone tried to bother him during a communion with Hyourinmaru. Some things, you just didn't mess with.

Kazuma could have gotten away without using any honourific, really. Not with his given name, but just the plain old surname? He would have been comfortable with that. But he also doesn't see the need to correct this. The next time his name slipped out without an honourific, he just wouldn't say anything about it. That should serve as indication enough.

"Don't think I've ever seen you do that before."
renaicirculation: (and i'd give up forever to touch you.)

Nadeko 'meep'ed sheepishly, clasping her hands together behind her back and smiling at him, eyes peering at her boyfriend from underneath her bangs.

"Was I too loud?" She asked in the usual soft tone, taking a few steps toward him, but not getting too close. She didn't want to get in the way if he was going to continue.

And when he finally met Hinamori, Kazuma will be one of the few people who understood what the dreaded nickname meant and why Hitsugaya hated it so much. Possibly why he stood on formality so much, too.

He just shrugged. "Perhaps. Or maybe I just haven't run into you any of the times that you have."
renaicirculation: (peeeeering around the corner.)

[personal profile] renaicirculation 2012-04-17 07:21 am (UTC)(link)
"Ah ..." Nadeko said, then moved a little closer once she recognized he had finished his form.

"I got a little worried," she admitted. She knew full well Kazuma could take care of himself if he needed to, but that didn't keep her from worrying anyway. He had died once. She didn't want to risk a repeat of that.

"Kana-chan was no help," she pouted. "She was curled up on the bed, purring away as though nothing were different."

Even now, she blushed when he kissed her in any way. She hid her eyes with her bangs again, a smile appearing on her face as he moved to get his towel.

"A-Ah, well ... a-all right, I forgive you."

"I always prefer it outside, myself."

And he didn't personally find the weather that bad. But he might have been a little biased. He liked chill. He liked rain. Just quirks of his, really. Liking things that seemed to make most others feel uncomfortable. It was a fair trade for hating what others celebrated so much. Like summer.

"What style is that?" If they had ever discussed this before, he didn't remember it.
renaicirculation: (meow? no wait.)

[personal profile] renaicirculation 2012-04-17 07:49 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, you tease. She looks up again finally, shifting her weight to one leg and clasping her hands together in back of her again.

"It was all right. I was able to get some of my homework done during the downtime, so there isn't much left to do."

Maybe they could cuddle together or something after that was done.

"How was your day?"
renaicirculation: (and all i can breathe is your life.)

[personal profile] renaicirculation 2012-04-17 07:56 am (UTC)(link)
"Anything in particular you want?"

Nadeko hadn't had any idea on what to do for dinner, actually. She hadn't really had the time to think about it that day. Truth be told, she was a little tired ... she'd gotten used to being a student and an employee, and had found a routine that was good for her, but that didn't stop her from being tired a little more preemptively than she usually would have been.

She wasn't going to complain about that, though. She kind of enjoyed being able to do things for Kazuma and their other roommates.

... Damn. Did he forget that, too? How many things was he going to discover had been erased? What he'd already known was gone was bad enough.

"... Possibly. I've just . . ." His brow furrowed. Just had a memory issue lately? He hated admitting that. Especially outside the privacy of his house, even if it was to a friend. So he'd go with something else. "Just been a bit busy lately, I suppose."

Hell, that sounded contrived even to him. Not that it was a lie, really.
icy_heavens: (Blade)

[personal profile] icy_heavens 2012-04-17 08:05 am (UTC)(link)
Damn it. He didn't want to explain this.

"I know exactly what it is." More or less. He had it pretty much figured, except for a few salient points. More trying to steer things away. "Besides, looking after her tends to require all my focus as it is."
renaicirculation: (i just want you to know who i am.)

[personal profile] renaicirculation 2012-04-17 08:11 am (UTC)(link)
Nadeko thought about it for a moment. Well ...

"Okay," she agreed with a smile. "That sounds great."
icy_heavens: (Shut up and do your work)

[personal profile] icy_heavens 2012-04-17 03:31 pm (UTC)(link)
"Nothing to apologize for."

He wasn't the one who'd messed with his head, after all. He'd like to have a word with whoever it had been, though. Just a word. Really. No violence at all.

"Doesn't mean you have to keep your distance. I know she wouldn't mind meeting you."

Hinamori liked to meet everyone. It was part of what made watching over her such a time-consuming endeavour. At least he already knew that this was a safe person for her to interact with.
icy_heavens: (Default)

Totally okay.

[personal profile] icy_heavens 2012-04-19 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
'Settled' was a relative term, of course. Hinamori had been disoriented for a while, but overall had taken the transition fairly well -- heading out into the city on her own, starting a job, chattering over the network . . .

"I'm sure she'd like that."

Not a word about what he wants himself. It was all about Hinamori. Just like usual.
icy_heavens: (Cool and collected)

Wow, I actually got the notification on time.

[personal profile] icy_heavens 2012-04-19 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
"Unlike you and I, she likes damn near everything."

She was so easy to please, it was almost pitiful at times. Not that he would change that. There was something wrong with the world when Hinamori wasn't happy. It was the natural order of things.

But he did give it a little more thought. "... She likes food gifts. Peaches are her favourite."

If Kazuma knew what Hinamori's given name was, the correlation would either be brilliant or stupidly coincidental.
icy_heavens: (Contemplation)

Hn. He hated to bring up the topic he'd been evading a moment ago, but there was something important he needed to be certain of. Not that he really expected such a thing to come up, but it was better to have all bases covered. Because he was no longer sure just what all he'd forgotten.

"... Did I ever say anything to you that I told you not to mention around her in the event that she showed up?"

The only thing of that nature he remembered saying was how his power had leaked out of him as a child and had been hurting Granny. But how could he be sure right now if he'd ever said more than that? And maybe he'd never said not to bring that one up, either. Damn memory issue.

She moved over to where Schwartz was, lifting him into her arms and petting him to settle him down. Nadeko would put him down if he really wanted to, but she was also perfectly content with carrying a kitty back home.

Nadeko moved back to Kazuma's side, smiling at him while petting Schwartz.

"Which place?"
icy_heavens: (Stargazing)

[personal profile] icy_heavens 2012-04-21 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
Good. He'd doubted he'd said anything, really. Details about Aizen weren't something he got into with a lot of people. But he'd had to be sure.

"She's from over a year earlier than I am. There are certain things she doesn't know yet that she shouldn't hear from anybody but me."

He lowered his eyes for just a few seconds. He still didn't know how he was going to bring that up, or when would be the best time to tell her. No matter how or when he told her, it was going to hurt her. Badly.

Right. Back to talking. "I doubt I've gone into any of it with you. Nevermind."
renaicirculation: (nyeeeeehhhh~)

[personal profile] renaicirculation 2012-05-05 10:48 am (UTC)(link)
"Oooh, I like that place ..." Nadeko said thoughtfully, then smiled down at Schwartz.

"What do you think, Schwartz-kun? Do you want a sandwich?"

Schwartz didn't seem to care either way. His ears twitched, indicating that he'd heard her, but he didn't move otherwise. Nadeko lifted his paw up, waving it a little at Kazuma and giggling as the cat looked up at her curiously.

"I think he's in for sandwiches!"
