It feels so freeing to run off with him from someone she disliked as much as her foster father. "I think today, for the first time, I was actually a princess whisked away by a prince." There's an infectious energy to her voice, fingertips intertwining with his own. "I love it!"

"Eh...? Wait but, she has to study-" Proving his foster daughter right, Daisuke was far too meek to chase after them. The guilt didn't help in seeing Kairi so happy after looking miserable since she was in his care.

"At least make sure she's safe!" He calls out, at least happy to see those two crazy kids run off together happy.

" Ain't gotta worry 'bout that - she ain't leavin' my said for a second . "

As if he'd even consider letting Kairi out of his sight now that he'd swept her away. With a quick glance thrown over his shoulder toward her foster father, however, Karasu's expression briefly softened - silently reassuring the older man that he had nothing to worry about, not while he was there.

That's why arms hug him, cuddling against him without a care in the world. To think she would've been shy before, but right now? He made her feel like the only girl in the world. "Doesn't every guy like being called a prince?" She teases, cheek pressed against his chest. "Unless you wanna be the sneaky guy in stories who steals away the girl~" Being able to tease like this was far too fun!

Fuck , she was so damn cute when she lit up like that for him. Kairi really didn't need to ask twice. Hand moved from her shoulder, instead taking hers to give a firm enough tug to urge her to her feet.

" Really ? 'Cause ta me it looks more like she's been itchin' ta get outta here . We planned a date , y'know ? " No sooner had she moved to stand did Karasu bring her closer to his side, already ushering her with him toward the door. While he normally would've been more respectful ... Well, his girlfriend had asked to be taken away!

It was her foster father? Shit, that made it a little more awkward, but he'd never backed down before. Tucking his phone away into the gym bag over his shoulder Karasu made his way inside, a hand soon coming to rest on her shoulder as he leaned over to kiss her cheek.

That's when the burgundy haired man tried to clear his throat. "I'm sorry, Kairi-chan is busy today." Oh it's clear this man's assertiveness was non-existant.

"Karasu!" Oh how her face lights up to see him, mismatched eyes sparkling for the first time in a long while. "I'm not busy at all, actually." Cheeks find themselves still blushing, however, as her head tilts up to look at him.

"Hehe, steal me away~" Leaning in to whisper in his ear, using her hand to hide what she was whispering to the soccer player.

[Text] : I got bad grades on my best, so he's 'trying' to get me to study harder.

[Text] : The guy has the backbone of cotton candy so... 🤭

[Text] : Make him cry? Maybe? 😏

[text] : I am, I'm bored. 😒 I was supposed to study, but screw it.

[text] : Whisk me away then?

"This does not make us equal, I'm assuming?"

"No...I wouldn't be able to recognize you otherwise."

"Would it help if I reintroduced myself? With my own words."

"Bewilder me."

"I am here to be of service."

"I don't care about your glory as I embody our patience."

"Come south, I am waiting."

"I want you to come with me."

"I don't need you to rewrite your story."

"If you are to be hunted by that- beast in your mind, it can't chase the two of us at the same time!"

"As long as we are separate, I'll see you down south."

"I'll be waiting for you...."

"I don't need you to wait."

"If it were to be mine then I'll come down and see for myself what has become of the fount once poisoned."

"I'll be there."

"You are my all."

"I am alive for when you feed."

"You are my truth."

"How deep is the water in this river of ambition?"

"How far would you go just to hear the voice of opposition?"

"Would you come save me?"

"Well, aren't you just perfect for the role."

"Let me guess, you've a dream that's unreasonable."

"But alas, who am I?"

"Take a seat, get a taste of the power."

"Yes! That'll do the trick."

"It doesn't matter if you've got thick skin."

"It'll burn you if you are burning with passion."

"Oh, what are we to do?"

"I can tell that you're hungry!"

"I'll have you know heroes can also get angry."

"I have written you a few lines."

"First of all; I'm not a hero."

"Does virtue come with a punishment?"

"Of course I am hungry!"

"I am not afraid of you."

"We both clearly know what we want."

"And just like that, you write yourself off."

"Tell me, what do you want."

"Do you want me?"

"I want you to get a taste of the power that goes under your skin."

"Feel my tongue on your teeth."

"Let me in, I'll make sure you'll win."

"I don't need to win!"

"Is compassion not a compromise?"

"They will tear you apart!"

"That's a lie."

"You'll leave a stinging in my mouth."

"For what's it's worth we are inseparable."

" Do you really believe the point of any sport is to get injured ? Merde ... " Were all Japanese players like this? At least his sister hadn't somehow ended up believing this over her time playing ... Not that he was likely to do much of anything about it either way.

Whether or not he ruffled feathers with what he said or did, Verso didn't care. He was being realistic - her entire form was off, movements far too easy to track for someone like him. It had to be a joke, didn't it? That his sister played with ones like this ...

"Like hell I'm gonna give up." There's definitely a fire in her mismatched eyes, only making her stubborn enough to try again with the ball. "I've got this, I just gotta keep improving..." It's the one sport she has to let out so much of her inner anger already. Goodness knows Kairi has a lot of it pent up.

That's when she tries to go for an aggressive strike, readying her stance to hopefully block his next move.
