Tohshiro paused between mouthfulls, with a wide grin on his face "Do you like it?!"

"yeah, it's good," said Katsuki. "I'm guessing you eat here often."

Toshiro grinned again, "Nah just every day, well everyday Aiko lets me." he smiled mischieviously, "what happened in the meeting?"

"What do you mean?" asked Katsuki. "You were there weren't you?"

Toshiro's smile faltered, "No i skip meetings, Aiko and Michio always fills me in and Michio always makes awesome notes to help me understand."

After about two hours of crying her eyes out on her pillow and listening to the major uproar going on down stairs Sakino slid down the drainpipe with her purse and mobile incase her parents remembered that they had a child. She began to wander the streets up to the point of a little bench hidden beside a bridge, she pulled her legs up to her chest and sat alone with her thoughts which was a dangerous occurance as it drove her to Madness every night.

Michio was taking notes? Katsuki smirked. "Well, Michio's notes might not be much help, but I'm sure Aiko can explain to you what happened."

Toshiro looked up, he laughed, "I know about his notes, they're not exactly presice about the meeting... but its boy talk!" then he got all serious, "I know you're not from here and don't know the people here much, but Aiko doesnt care... we need to help Sakino... her parents well i guess you heard the racket they make... we should go find her and ask if she wants to hang out as friend.. not gaurdian.."

"Sakino?" Sakei said and approached the bench cautiously. "What are you doign out here?" He noticed she was crying, "Wow, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, Blondie! I just got some dirt in my eye." Sakino said and wiped at her eyes to remove the tears. Sakei sighed and sat down beside her much to her discretion. "Hey, you missed one." He gently wiped away one stray tear and smiled at her, "Now, tell me why you're crying."
"None of your business." She said simply.
"Don't play it like that. Was it the three hour arguement...?" He asked. Sakino looked up at him and raised an eyebrow.
"You heard it too? Your house is on the other side of town..."
"Yeah, I heard it." He said and it started to rain. He grinned and had a look that said "IDEA". "Hye, you hungry?"

"Yeah, i get that," said Katsuki. "But I don't think Sakino is the type to accept sympathy from others... but I geuss I can try. I'll be here for a while, after all."

"Blondie, I'm fine. i don't need any sympathy from people who have no idea what they're talking about." Sakino attempted to hiss but didn't have it in her to put acid in her voice. She muttered into her knees, "PLus I'm not hungry."
"Now that is shit." Sakei smiled, "I know that's crap." He sighed, "I saw your mom wig a dish of rice at your dad... So you haven't been fed so allow me." Sakino looked at his face. No smugness, no disgust, no anger. Just genuine sympathy and friendliness. Something I haven't seen in an age... I like this look. She eventually gave up on her bitterness towards him and smiled. He stood up and held out his hand to her, she put out her hand and he latched on pulling her up and began to half-drag her to the Ramen Shack.

Toshiro smiled, "Good. You know, Sakino isnt as bad as she seems. She's just not learned how to accept err... well love as in friendliness and sympathy y-know?" he noticed Sakei and Sakino making their way to the Ramen Shack, Sakino had red eyes... he sighed and ordered two bowls of Ramen for them.

"That's sounds just a bit cheesy, but I get what you mean," said Katsuki, finishing her bowl of ramen.

Toshiro smiled as Sakei and Sakino aproached.

"Hey guys! Oooh, Ramen, STEAL!" Sakei grinned and sat down at on empty stool. Sakino let her hair cover her eyes and nodded quietly in greeting before silently sitting down beside Sakei. Toshiro passed a bowl of Ramen her way and she looked up and gave an attempt at a smile. She picked up a pair of chopsticks and started eating slowly.

"Where are Tai and Sai?" asked Katsuki. She decided to not mention Aiko and Michio, because the chances were that they were together.

"Probably faking they don't like each other on the other side of town." Sakei joked and devoured another bowl of Ramen. Sakino just sat in silence and had another bite of Ramen with difficulty, trying to swallow the ramen and the lump at the back of her throat proved to be hard. She kept finding herself looking up at Sakei. He was the first one to be nice to her in over six years and she'd never been nice to him once.

"So uhm... Sakino... are you alright? i mean you can talk to us if you want..." Toshiro tried to start a conversation with Sakino.

"Um," Sakino choked back a lump in her throat. She looked up at Sakei, he was smiling at her and egging her on to speak. "Grr, you all know why I'm like I am. Everybody does so why ask?" She muttered and carried on eating.

"We know why, he's asking how you're feeling," said Katsuki, having some more rmaen.

"Well, Ms Sand, I haven't had a decent nights sleep in about two years because of the escalation in screaming fits. I get so irritated because I'm so tired. I feel like crap evry time I see everyone else with their parents and atleast one of them is smiling. The last smile my parents had was when I was two, then they stopped, dead. No more smiles." Sakino spluttered.

Toshiro looked at Katsuki and then at Sakei, he had no idea what to say... "Uhm..."

"Yeah, that's why I never talk about it. No one likes to hear the truth." Sakino muttered and pushed her bowl of Ramen away, suddenly losing her appetite when she saw her father walk down the street. He acknowledged her and kind of stopped and stared at her for a few moments, as did Sakino. She barely breathed during the very long sixty seconds. It felt so bad that she felt like that around her parents but, nothing could be done.

"Well is there a aprk or anywhere we can go after the ramen?" asked Katsuki. "It's too nice a day to be inside."

"Well there's the river in the woods. With the huge trees that are fun to climb? Good enough, loads of shade, we kind of need it." Sakei suggested. "How about an ice-cream first though?"
