"Are you alright?" Sakura asked, leaning closer to the girl, her umbrella held over their heads as she examined the sad face.

Sakura felt pity for the girl, seeing her there alone and hearing her mumble mama and papa made her recall moments of longing for her family to.

Kio had decided to go back by the museum again since it seemed like the only other place that there was any art; at least that he hadn't done. Plus it would be good to get out since it seemed more and more like he never left the apartment. It was a little annoying that the weather had seemed to take a turn for the worse, but Kio wore a poncho to keep dry. Approaching the library he saw two girls at the steps though with her back to him he didn't recognize Sakura, and hadn't met the other. "Hello?"

[tokunaga_tsukai]

Oh crap! Anise did her best to quickly wipe her tears before raising her head to see the other. No way was she going to have someone find her crying like this! When she finally got a better look at her, she recalled who she was and began to make her excuse in a cheery voice.

"Oh you! Yeah! I'm fine! I was just resting my head, that's all~ Boy, it sure gets tiring when you're looking for a way out of here~" She forced a giggle when she heard someone else in the background and lightly grumbled. Maaaaan, right when she wanted to be left alone! Anise tilted her head to the side to see who it was.

[kinomoto_s]

Sakura frowned a little. "R-really?" she asked, she thought she had seen the girl crying, but if she had been wrong maybe the girl really had been sleeping.

She straightened up and turned to see who was coming up to them. "Oh, Kio!" She beamed. "It's nice to see you." She nodded her head instead of fully bowing, the umbrella had to be held steady or else she and Anisa would get wet.

[soubislolipop]

Well whatever it was both of the girls seemed to be fine by the time that he got to them. Smiling at the familiar face Kio nodded too, "Sakura, it's good to see you again. What are the two of you doing sitting outside in the rain?"

Let alone in front of the museum, he hadn't really seen anyone else ever coming this way when he visited. But maybe he had just missed them before, "Is this a friend of yours?"

[tokunaga_tsukai]

Woaw. A pretty boy. He didn't look rich but he was nice to look at so she figured she'd put up the act. Besides, it'd veer him away from asking anything that just went on. Diversion was always the best medicine for situations like this. Colonel would be so proud of her~. Jumping up and clasping her hands together, she leaned in towards the man as she used her sweetest voice.

"Yes, I am~~♥ My name is Anise Tatlin. Fon Master Guardian at your service! But you could call me Anise~♥"

[kinomoto_s]

Sakura watched the sudden change in Anise with a bit of surprise. "E-eto...." she nodded slowly "Yes, Um Anise and I helped get rid of the bugs..."

Her green eyes scanned Anise's face, something was wrong, and the girl was pretending otherwise, which made Sakura feel bad for her. If Anise wanted to pretend Sakura would follow along, even though she did not like this sort of pretending.

Kio laughed as the younger girl seemed to come to life, it was a little strange but Kio didn't think about it much. Instead he smiled back, "I'm Kaido Kio, it's a pleasure to meet you." He had no idea what a fon master guardian was but it sounded a little impressive. Hearing Sakura mention the bugs Kio shivered a little, it had been disgusting when they seemed to be everywhere, "I see. Well it's a good think that's over. But why don't we go in before we're all soaked."

[tokunaga_tsukai]

"Ohh~~ Those bugs were awful~ Anise was soooo scared~" She played the damsel in distress as she wrapped her arms around his. Any boy liked a cute girl and not someone that can beat disgusting bugs into a pulp. They were easy in her opinion... well with the help from her newly made friends but there wasn't anything she couldn't handle. She happily nodded to his suggestion before dragging him along.

"You're right! Let's go inside then~ Come on, you too Sakura."

[kinomoto_s]

"They weren't that scary...mm..." Sakura frowned "A bit scary..." she added as an afterthought as she followed them into the building. "Kio, is this where you have your paintings?" she asked looking up at him.

[soubislolipop]

As Kio was drug in he was still smiling, laughing a little when he heard Sakura's question. "Oh, no most of mine have been hung up at the hotel. They're probably not quite ready to be in a museum."

Reaching into his pocket Kio pulled out three lollipops, keeping one for himself and offering each of the girls one. "So what brought the two of you here?"

[tokunaga_tsukai]

OoOoOo maybe a famous painter!? Ha, he didn't look like it but maybe just maaaaaaaaybe~ Anise grinned widely as she decided to prod further on that subject.

She happily looked up at him when a candy was placed in front of her. No no no! Why did it have to veer that way! She weakly smiled and took the candy as she gave a vague enough answer before sliding in her own. "I was just resting when Sakura came~ That's all! But forget about us~ what about youuu~? Were you a well-known painter in your own world, Mr. Kio~? I'd loooove to hear some stories~<3"

[kinomoto_s]

Sakura frowned, did girls in Anise's world act like this a lot, because it was strange. She stayed quiet as she followed, nodding at Kyo's comment about the location of his paintings.

"People probably see them more there though. A lot of people don't visit the museum, but they live in the hotel." she smiled brightly at him, accepting her lollipop and unrapped it to stick it in her mouth. Anise sure was excitable, she thought as she walked on Kio's other side.

[soubislolipop]

After the other two had taken their lollipops, Kio unwraped his own and stuck it in his mouth as they went it. As he went to pull off the pancho that he had on it caused his shirt to come up a little giving a glimpse of part of the tattoo on his back before he pulled it back down. "That's true, at least when there's a host club event going on."

Hanging it up to dry he smiled back at Anise who seemed extremely interested for some reason. "Umm. . . no not really. I'm an art student in University, but I guess a lot of people know me for it around the school. Well and for my modeling there."

[tokunaga_tsukai]

With a lollipop in her mouth, Anise gave a disgusted look as she looked down at her damp clothes. Well it was definitely her fault for sitting out in the rain but somewhat it felt good to sit out there and a good way to hide herself. The sorrow she was feeling as if it were to all wash away with the downpour.

As she took off the stuffed animal from her back, she noticed the mark on Kio's back and stared at him in wonder. It was a pretty mark but did it mean anything? Maybe a spell of some sort to use magic? She remembered Klarth having markings on his body.

When she heard Host club, the girl gave a questioned look as she tilted her head to the side and subconsciously spoke out loud. "A host club?"

[kinomoto_s]

Sakura thought she saw a tattoo on Kio's back, but considered that it was probably impolite to just ask. She pulled the lollipop out of her mouth because she didn't want it to fall out as she talked. "The host club is a group of boys that throw parties to entertain the people here...right?" she turned to Kio, she wondered if she had all the facts straight.
