it was one of those days where saya felt like she could do anything and get away with it. brushing away a loose strand of reddish brown hair away from her pale face, she leaned against a wall, staring at her reflection in a car window. to be honest, she was quite proud of her costume. the brunette was wearing tailored green pinstripe trousers, a long, collared white shirt, a tasteful argyle vest, and a deep blue frock coat over the whole thing.  to finish it off, she had simple brown loafers and a top hat, completing her disguise as the mad hatter. she wanted to join the party in harajuku so much she couldn't possibly wait, but for some reason she was slumped against a wall, smoking a cigarette. how unexciting. maybe it was the absence of her best friend that made her feel this way. ah, well. she'd better immerse herself in the nightlife before anything else vaguely sentimental came to distract her. saya adjusted her hat, dropped the cig and stubbed it out with her foot, and bounced off to join the mish mash of people currently walkingshoving their way down the closed street. it was then that she noticed a club down the street with loud music and blinding strobe lights. the girl navigated her way to approach the entrance, blinking rapidly. the man in the front didn't seem to be checking id, so she slipped past him and into the fray.  some kind of dubstep was pumping out from the speakers, and some guy next to her was trying to light his hair on fire. she yelled for a moment and ran into the middle of the floor and started dancing. after a few moments, it was then that she had realized she was dancing by herself. how awkward. just after she had thought of this, she backed up and bumped into someone. she gasped. "sorry." god. why was she like the awkward giraffe today? this was so unlike her. it was a party. this was like her natural habitat. today was a bit terrible, she decided.

[Hayato Moriyama]

Hayato had never really been one for parties. Of course, when he was younger, he had never really been invited to very many. Well, he had started to be invited to them by his final year of middle school but, by that time, he and his best friend had already gotten into the routine of watching childish cartoons on the tiny TV in his bedroom during the parties that they had never really been invited to. When the invites finally started coming, the two best friends had just decided to stick to tradition rather than try to blend in with the cool crowd when they weren't really even close to being cool. People would be quite surprised if they knew about that particular part of his past, though. After all, who would think that the leader of SUPER✩RANGERS had been a total loser during his early years? Well, maybe his fellow band members wouldn't be too surprised - but the rest of the world would probably be quite shocked. He wouldn't be able to blame them, either. Even he's surprised by the popularity he's received from SUPER✩RANGERS. After being shunned for so many years because of what happened between his parents, gaining so much popularity in so little time was quite shocking for the leader of the new boy band. Of course, being the leader of SUPER✩RANGERS had not been without its downfalls. This was one of them. As leader, it wasn't uncommon for him to have to attend certain events - such as Harajuku's Monster Masquerade. Normally, he wouldn't have a problem with that - and he still doesn't. This is actually one of the few events that he had been looking forward too. What he didn't enjoy was the club that some of the members of the group had goaded him into going to with them. He had never been one for the club scene. He would be okay with it if his group members had stuck around - but they had deserted him almost right after walking in. What made it even worse was the fact that this club wasn't where they were supposed to be. Sure, they were still clearly at a party...it was just the wrong party. It was something that made him a bit angry since his best friend and little sister were probably waiting for him at the party that he was supposed to be attending. On the edge of the dance floor, he had actually been muttering to himself in anger - with his eyes closed - when someone suddenly bumped into him. Whoever it was had, fortunately, been smart enough to apologize. If they hadn't, he might have thrown a tantrum because he was seriously that mad. Judging by the voice, Hayato assumed that the one who bumped into him was a girl. When he opened his eyes, his assumption was subsequently confirmed. In response to the girl's apology, Hayato sighed, "It's fine. You didn't hurt me or anything." Hayato hoped that he didn't seem to angry because he didn't really want to scare the girl away. It wasn't her that he was mad at. It also wasn't like the girl had bumped into him on purpose - even if that had actually happened on a few occasions.

she wrinkled her nose. now that she had a clear view of the guy's face, saya couldn't deny that he looked somewhat familiar...ah, well. "uh. okay~!" the brunette smiled sheepishly. she stuck out a pale hand. "i'm saya. nice to meet you." she yawned, and tapped her fingers against her leg, rather distracted. closing her eyes, she let the beat of the music wash over her. wow. this was some inspiration. maybe she'd make some kind of remix and post it online, instead of some usual cover stuff.   the teenager sighed, and looked up at the tall stranger. "um. this might sound weird, but obviously, this club is going nowhere. i'm ditching, you wanna come with?" she asked, shrugging as she did so. not that her intentions were with ulterior motives, no, but honestly, this party was completely over for her, and she knew absolutely no one else but this blue-haired guy in front of her. though she was seriously doubting her decision of asking him along, because he looked kinda weird earlier, muttering to himself. oh well.  saya peered at the young man in front of her more closely, raising an eyebrow. 'wait a sec...' she smirked and spoke loudly in a teasing tone. "HEY, aren't you that guy from that id-WHOA!" the crazy guy from earlier had successfully lit his hair on fire and ran into her, setting her coat on fire.  saya screamed.  "OH MY GOD WHAT THE HELL I'M ON FIRE SOMEONE," she yelled, totally hyperventilating. she clutched at the stranger she had just talked to. "YOU CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT OR SOMETHING!" she continued, totally blowing the matter out of proportion. people were screaming, the fog was vision-screwing, and the music was so distracting.  and all through this, saya had not realized to just take off her coat. she ran to the bar counter and grabbed a bottle of gin, opening it and readying herself to pour it on herself to put out the fire. of course, it was in this critical moment that she forgot that of course, alcohol would just make the fire greater.  she tipped the bottle.

Hayato knew that the right thing to do would be to introduce himself. The problem with that, though, was the fact that this girl was a total stranger. She seemed nice enough, though. When the girl held out her hand, Hayato reached for it so he could introduce himself. It was the least that he could do, after all. Before he could reply, though, the girl had asked him if he would be willing to ditch the club with her. The logical thing to do would be to say no. Leaving a club with anyone had the potential to start rumors - and the last thing he wanted was for people think that he was with a schoolgirl...at least, he thought she might be a schoolgirl. She didn't look too much older than his surrogate little sister so Hayato doubted that the girl was out of high school. Hayato had opened his mouth to give an affirmative answer when some insane maniac bumped into the girl and set her coat on fire. He had to prevent himself from rolling her eyes at her exaggeration of the situation. He also had to hold himself back from laughing since even his little sister - who can be a crybaby - wouldn't act like this over her coat catching on fire...although, Hayato knew that was because she knew how to put out small fires before they could have the chance to spread. He could always be wrong, though. Hayato sighed and said, "You don't need the fire department!" Apparently, though, the girl hadn't really heard him. Because of that, he didn't see any point in telling her that she could just take off the coat. He had actually considered simply leaving her there...until he saw the girl do something completely idiotic. The girl was actually trying to put the fire out with a bottle of gin. Hayato raised his eyebrows at the sight of it as he walked over. He didn't make any moves to stop her, though, since it looked like she might realize that alcohol wouldn't help at all. However, when the girl actually tipped the bottle - he reached over and ripped it from her hands. Despite not actually knowing the girl, Hayato growled at her, "Are you out of your mind? What kind of idiot tries to put themselves out with alcohol?" He knew that he was being a little harsh but he would blame himself if the girl hurt herself out of her own stupidity and he didn't do anything while being around to stop it. He acted the way he did so he could keep her well-being off of his conscience. Calming himself down, Hayato softly said, "Just take off the coat."

before the drink could stain her clothing, the stranger knocked the bottle out of her hands, and it shattered, leaving tiny green glass shards on the floor. a pool of gin quickly formed around saya's feet, and she stared, blinking slowly.  "i-i..." she stammered, surprised by his loud outburst. "i'm not an idiot!" the brunette exclaimed, flushing a dark pink. the young man lowered his voice, and saya supposed he felt bad. 'well, he should be,' saya thought stubbornly. but then again, he had stopped her from turning a minor thing into something potentially dangerous.   she threw off the coat, and backed away, almost into another person yet again. "sorry," she muttered again. "i should've thought about what could have happened," she added, looking down. her solemn mood didn't last long, and like a spring, saya bounced back to her regular personality.  "let's try this again, shall we?" she announced, letting out a grin. "i'm saya! let's forget about earlier, shall we?" she frowned after looking at her coat, which was still on fire and coughed. "i suppose we should do something about that. i should get some water or find a fire extinguisher or something..." ____ notes: sorrythatit'sshort orz

Hayato gave the younger girl a questioning look before he let out a sigh of frustration. "I guess it couldn't hurt to try again. I'm Hayato." Following along with what the girl had said, he continued speaking in an attempt to make the situation a bit lighter, "Forget about what, exactly?" He pursed his lips as he glanced at the coat that was still burning on the floor and let out a quiet groan before he said, "Just get some water from the bartender...the fire extinguisher is probably at the back of the bar anyway." Hayato looked down at the watch on his wrist. He was supposed to be meeting up with Sayaka - as well as his best friend - soon. Still, he didn't want to risk having the girl in front of him accidentally hurt herself by not thinking things through. As he thought about how to explain his tardiness to Sayaka, a thought suddenly occurred to Hayato. Maybe he could bring the younger girl with him? She could probably be passed off as a friend of Sayaka's. At the very least, he would be able to keep an eye on her and prevent her from injuring herself or others because of some accident. Hayato scratched the back of his head as he voiced his thoughts, "I'm supposed to be heading to the masquerade soon, why don't you come with?"
