"Are you sure, Fukurou?"

"Yes," he said determinately. "I will think nothing more of what I have been... I shall clear my head and simply enjoy my time with a friend..."

Oki nodded and smiled. "That, and you'll have the added bonus of taking a cabin fit to live in by dark."

Fukurou smiled and gathered the last of the glass from the floor. "I'd rather not stay here," he said with a small smile. "I miss my own home. I mean, I loved coming out here for my classes with Ms. Otomeken... But I have my own home - one without a roof or walls to confine me..."

"Then you'll have to work hard and get through Baoh's lessons so you can get back to it. Think of this... as a mission. You might not mind them so much, but I know I missed having four walls and a ceiling when I was out on them and had to camp out. He's not going to make it easy for you; Baoh's not making life easy for anyone right now, really. But you can get through it."

This caught Fukurou's attention. "Ms. Oki? If Baoh makes life difficult for everyone... What is it about him that is so... Magnetic?" There were multiple questions Fukurou wanted answered, all embedded in that one...

"It all makes sense when her explains it," Oki defended, lamely. "And I don't know how to answer your question, Fukurou. What draws any one person to another? It's part physical attraction, part sex appeal... But there are so many other things that all combine to make him unlike anyone I've ever met before. And he was interested in me from the beginning, me as a person and not just because he thought I looked good. I guess it was flattering. And rewarding, too, to get and keep his attentions..."

"If I might be so bold Ms. Oki, sniffing your undergarments is not being interested in your personality..." Fukurou stopped, instantly feeling he had gone way too far...

Oki's head snapped around and she studied Fukurou for a moment in silence. She'd only ever told Suoh about that, which to her reasoning should have only made three people who knew about how she had actually met Baoh. Surely Baoh hadn't told Fukurou about that?
"At least they were clean," Oki defended. "They'd been hung out to dry like everything else. Do I want to know who told you about that?"

"In all probability, Ms. Oki, you do not. I hope I did not offend you with such a statement."

"Not at all, Fukurou," Oki replied, shaking her head. She'd have to talk to Suoh when she got home...
"It wasn't the greatest first impression, Fukurou, I admit that. The interest came later, on both ends really. At first I was just... curious about him. I agreed to a date if he'd tell me his name. I just... He..." Oki sighed with frustration. "I don't know how to explain it. I wish I did."

"That is one of the most interesting things in life, Ms. Oki. Some items in our lives require no explanation, others do but have none, and still others have explanations so complex that they should not be mentioned out of ettiquette to others envolved. So I will except that someone as intellegent as you has no explanation, if you will except that my ettiqutte demands I remain silent about my earlier anxieties, there are people who would not do well for you to have full knowledge of the situation... Unfortunately..."

That gave Oki some pause, but she slowly nodded. She had already accepted his anxiety as something he couldn't discuss, but it made her uneasy to know that there were "people" who wanted her kept in the dark. It was beginning to feel like a conspiracy!
"I can do that, Fukurou. I don't like it, but I can accept that."

Fukurou nodded and set his hand on her shoulder. "I hope you will know soon. And I hope all of this will be cleared up and resolved. I really thought you had already known but..." He shook his head. It would only end badly if he did try to tell her...

"Oh," Oki said softly. Realization was slow to dawn some times, but it always came. "I see it's Yuki you've been talking to..."
