" Well." Began Julianna as she looked at his car and then to the bus stop. " I don't have a car, I ride the bus around town or walk." Explained Julianna, laughing softly at his words. She didn't find it important however and brushed it away. " So, It is safe to assume that your car is our mode of transportation and that I will merely direct." Added Julianna as she held her book close with one hand. The other still aimlessly rubbed the sensitive stomach beneath her dress.
" The diner isn't very far, so it won't take long to get there." Julianna began, waiting for the handsome fellow that was now a companion for the day to lead her to his car so as she could get inside. " By the way, I already told you my name. You must've missed it. Julianna Odette." Her laughter was soft as she shook her head a little.

Seiko laughed slightly realizing how stupid he must have sounded to ask for her name again, but merely brushed it off. If only the situation was a better one or at school, he would act professional, but this was the real him, outside the carrer. "Well, Julianna... I'm sorry, I guess I did miss that, but I'm not sure how!" He began to walk to his car and looked behind him seeing if she was following him. How lucky was he right now?
"Well, I guess since I've got the mode, you've got the motive, right?" He said reaching the car and unlocking it followed by the door opening. "After you?" He said, letting his gentleman area of him take part. Respect for a woman is what his mother taught him as well as his father before he pasted away. When she got in the car, he shut the door for her and appeared in the seat next to her and continued to take the car out of the library parking lot. "So, speaking of school, how long have you had the profession? Did you take regular college classes or did you go for your bachelors? Oh, which way do I go?" He added as he looked around seeing no other cars at the moment.

" Take a right here." She pointed to the right and turned to face him. Thinking carefully she tapped her chin. She was a secratary and a homeroom teacher. What kind of skills she needed for that had just been about all the things she could take as classes during collage. " I'm only a homeroom teacher. So I don't teach anything, just take attendence and such. But other than that I will be a secratary in the main office." Julianna said, noding. She faced forward, a hand holding onto the seat belt that crossed her chest.
" I attended collage while I still lived in Japan, and have a masters in English. Other than that I just took the neccisary classes that my collage required. Tokyo University is the one I attended." Explained the woman further, nodding her head as she thought about her degrees and such. She wasn't exactly sure how she had picked up the Homeroom Teacher bit. However, she surely wasn't going to ask any questions and was happy to take it on.

"Alright..." The car turned into the line of car's that started to come and he took the lead. "Tokyo univeristy. Interesting. I was born in Japan. Lived there until I was five, but that was so many years ago!" Making a joke about his age made him grin, but then wonder about how old she was, but refused to ask about it. Wasn't proper. "So, what was it like in Japan? Alot of nice sceneries huh?" He wanted to make any conversation with her he could. "I only see pictures of when my parents were in Japan, but they lived in the lower region of Japan. They wanted to make a better life for me, so they came to the america's. Did me real good though." Seiko looked over at her holding the seatbelt that was across her chest.
"So, just a secretary? I just might have to find a reason to come to you for some supplies once in a while, shouldn't I?" His eye's surveyed the area he was driving and noticed a sign. "Is that the diner?"

" Yup, that's the place!" Julianna nodded and pointed to the building before returning that had back to her stomach to continue it's soft petting. Julianna's eyes fell to the stomach as she spoke on. " Really? Good, At least then I'll be able to have someone to talk to." Smiled the woman as she looked at Seiko with a smile. At the mention of Japan she nodded her head slowly.
" It's a very crowded country when you're in the cities. However there still seems to be some amazing roads and views. It was amazing there. I miss it a little, you know? Especially the style the house were built and such. I'm tempted to add sliding doors to my house just for the fact that it would remind me of home. I lived originally in Kyoto, a city that can be found in the southern regions I'd say." Julianna Explained. She felt that her family history didn't need exposing just yet. They fact she had been at one time a Yakuza 'princess' of sorts wasn't exactly something she felt the need to share.

"Well, that's interesting you know. I would like to visit my birthplace. My mother has tried to keep alot of traditions alive since they left, but after my father died, alot of traditions were no longer needed. So, yeah." He stated as he found aparking spot and parked, unbuckeling and getting out of the car. "This woman is amazing..." He said until he reached her car door, then let the words be drowned out by the wind. His hand reached her car door and opened it as he reached a hand to her. "Lift out?" A smile immediatly reached his lips as he awaited her movements. "So, what do you feel like? I'm sure they have burger's right? If so, that's what I'm getting, but you can order what ever you like... Desserts?" He asked to see if they even had that kind of thing in this town.

" Thank you." Julianna said, taking hold of his hand after unbuckling herself. With a little effort she freed herself of the car and smiled. " You're a great help, you know that? A real gentlemen." The woman said with a firm nod of her head. While he spoke of the food she nodded her head." They have just about everything her. I'm feeling a craving for some Chicken. With maybe a biscuit, and order or mashed potatos and some gravy on that. Oh! And some corn." She smiled and almost began to drool at the thought.
Dessert however was a thought long in the process. Stawberries ontop of a slice of angel cake topped with wipped cream and chocolate drizzled over it all with a side of french vanilla icecream. The idea was almost enough to make her want to skip the main course and get something else. Ah, to be feeding two people in one shot was almost like an olympic event.
" Might I make a suggestion on the desserts they have here? They make amazing brownies and have this Berry Shortcake thing that is simply to die for. It's Strawberries, both black and red raspberries, piled on a slize of fluffy angel cake. Topped with some whip cream with warmed chocolate drizzled over it. All that with a side of French Vanilla Icecream. It's heaven sent, I swear." Sighed Julianna, her stomach giving a low rumble. She laughed softly and rubbed the large lump with both her hands and hushed the rumbling.

Seiko nodded his head slightly letting his native customs show for the first time, and he watched as she stood. Even withchilded, she was a very attractive woman, with the intelligence to add. "Swell. I'm not to big on ice cream, but the berries sound good. Nothing like fruit ontop of sweet bread. but the chocolate could add alittle soemthing special. I was never really allowed the opportunity to have chocolate as a youngster but thanks to that, my taste for it isn't of the addictive kind like most people I hear! Besides, I think I just might stay with a burger and some fries!" She had everything good about her, even a healthy appetite, but that was thanks to the kid.
"Well, if you ever talk to my mother, let her know what you just said, that way she knows i'm still being behaving!" He let half laugh out, as he opened to the door to the Diner and as soon as she had entered infront of him, he followed behind her. "I think that's a good table there... " He said as he walked to the table with the pullout chairs, and he took his seat immediatly after waiting for her to find the table as well. "So, order what you like... Like I said, I owe you after interrupting your reading!" He said watching as the waitress came over to the table. "For me, just a cheeseburger and fries.. and my lovely company...?" He asked watching as the waitress looked to Julianna.

Julianna had settled herself in a chair, taking time to accurately space her stomach from the table. Upon hearing the waitress and his remark about owing her something, Julianna gave the waitress the exact thing she had decided upon outside. It had a few variations however. Instead of corn Julianna asked for steamed spinach with a light dusting of salt and some butter. Though it seemed like a large order for such a small person, if you don't include the belly, it was something she would typically eat and was fine with that.
" If I ever encounter your mother, I'll make sure she knows her son is behaving very well. I'll throw in a few complements and personal thoughts that will make your mother spoil you the next time she sees you." Julianna laugehd softly after her little statement. However, it was true. She would make sure Seiko's mother knew he was very handsome, very polite and well manored. Anything else she threw in would probably be more about his manors, his attitude in general, and somethings about his devotion to his job. Anything to help a fellow teacher out, right? No, not in this case.
Julianna would speak only truths. All she thought of him would be said in a straight forward manor, a manor she probably could muster to take on with him in person. Yes, even someone like Julianna had shy moments. To tell someone flat out that you find them attractive, and simply amazing all around did tend to be an embarassing thing to do. However, she had said everything in a very round about way. She was certain he had gotten the hints and understood her thoughts.
" By the way, you don't have to call me Julianna. It's a little long, so feel free to call me Julia as most everyone tends to." Advised the woman as she sipped on some water the waitress had brought around.

Seiko nodded to her compliments to him and could only keep the grin on his face from getting bigger. Seiko had always thought of himself modist about his actions but for some reason, everything that she just said seemed to have been true and for one thing, he couldn't help deny'ing the truth. "Well, just don't go overboard. Wouldn't want her thinking she had a saint for a son, which I know I'm not!" He added looking around as the water was brought by the waitress. "Thank you!" He voiced in as the waitress quickly left as soon as she appeared. Julie? Why would I want to shorten such a wonderful name? A georgous name that was given to such a wonderful woman? I couldn't do that... nope. I'll keep that name just the way it is... just for the simple fact that I wouldn't want to call her anything other than what she told me the first time.
"Well, Julianna... I don't think I'd be able to call you anything that was shorten from such a sweet name. I wouldn't feel the same if I wasn't able to call you by the first name I knew you as." He said simply. "Well, your order sounded very good. I think if you had ordered first, I just might have ordered the exact same thing... minus the spinach. That I really don't care much for."
His eye's watched her facial expressions in interest, watching as she smiled, and just looked around. He couldn't wait until the school started, just so after this meeting he would be able to have the chance to see her again, to talk or just look at her. "If you don't mind me asking,and I hope I'm not being forward or anything, but... do you know if it's a girl or a boy?"

" Suit yourself." She laughed, concerning what to call her. However, she personally felt a swell of pride wash over her. Hey! He just said her name was sweet, she had to feel some sort of pride or happiness about it. Anyone would. Hell, Even I -her roleplayer- would be happy to hear someone say that! Well, anyways, she just kept her smile on her face as he refered to her unborn child.
" It's going to be a girl. I originally didn't want to know the sex of the child. However, My grandfather and old friends wanted to know whether to buy girl cloths of boys cloths so I had to find out on their behalf. Those fools are liable to all get in a car crash just to see me once she is born." Sighed Julianna. The idea of all her ex-bodygaurds rushing to her side made her want to laugh. Half of them were grandfathers by now and probably balding. He own grandfather was close to being what...80?
Julianna laughed softly at the idea. " I'll be the only woman in the maternity ward with a bunch of old and balding men around me in their best traditional wear talking in hurried japanese while being refered to as Boss." She managed to say while laughing at the idea. It seemed almost comical. There she would be in her bed, holding her new baby girl, surrounded by a bunch of men with not a single woman in sight. There would be old friends reuniting and all of them not using a single word of english. Ah, the idea was such a sweet thought because she knew those fools would actually do that.
" If you plan on visiting while I'm locked up in tha maternity ward, be prepared for thorough questioning from them along with a pat down and I would suggest bringing some misou soup as a peace offering. Otherwise, you'll never make it in. You see, my grandfather was the boss of a Yakuza Clan that dispersed a while ago. He raised me as my parents died when I Was young, so you can imagaine how protective those twits are going to be over Boss Hito's great gandchild and their Ex-Boss Odette." Sighed Julianna, having forgotten that being of a yakuza family was generally not something to gloat about. Hell, she didn't care anymore. The clan was dispersed, done, over with. The members remained, yes, and they still kept in contact. However they didn't do anymore distortion, prostution or anything like that.

Seiko felt himself blush slightly as she mentioned it was goign to be a girl. How sweet He found himself saying in his thoughts as he noticed the waitress gathering their food up on the tray. "Well, I think it's wonderful that you found out if it was going to be a girl or a boy. A girl would be sweet... a cutie I bet if she looks like her mother." He noticed that giving slight compliments were nessisary, cause he felt as if he wanted her to know that he was interested in her, but what he didn't know for sure was that if she was feeling the same for him. Only a few compliments were returned to him, but he didn't know if she was just being nice or not. "WEll, if your the only woman in the maternity ward I'm sure that if I was to be there, it might be easier with those 'older' men. But... yeah!" He chuckled slightly and returned his gaze as the woman brought the food placing it in front of them in the correct order. "Thank you very much, Ma'am!" She nodded and turned on her heel. "Well, this Looks really good.. even if it is just a burger and fries!" He said bringing his hands together and bowed his head slightly before beginning to fix up his plate the way he liked it. "So, about the school... and everything... I'm assuming that a gift is needed to enter this delightful school. Might you have any special abilities?"

" Itadakimasu" She whispered out of habit before she began to prepar her food. She would sprinkle some pepper here and there, a little salt and such. She smiled softly while doing so, happy to hear a compliment. It made her feel warm inside. She looked up at the mention of the school. Ah, yes, she hadn't mentioned her gift yet.
" I do, indeed, have a special ability. From my fingers I can summon barbed wire. I can control it's movements, and length but after 15 or so feet it gets harder to control. I wonder, what do you have?" She asked curiously, mixing everything in her plate into a nice little pile. She smiled and took a bite, chewing with a happy look upon her face.
" I'm sure that any child of yours would instantly become everyone's favorite child. It would be simply gorgeous." A return compliment, as she too was just as interested in him. Her eyes focused on him before she went in for another bite of her food. While she chewed, she would look to him for his answer.

"Well, that is a gift indeed..." He said chewing casually on two fries that he neatly stuffed in his mouth, and swallowed a moment later. She really wouldn't be a good one to anger. Barbed wire... such a dangerous tool, but he too had the power of sharp objects. He took a quick sip of the water and sat up in his chair watching her eat for a moment before speaking again. "Well, I have two gifts.. one is just for fun the other is more like yours. Now, my fun gift is that i'm able to refract the light around my body to become invisible, but my weakness with that is something you'll learn later on." He added as a humorous tone to it. "But my other power is similar to yours... I can transform my arms or legs into sharpened objects. If you think about it.. a sneak attack with added weapons..." He added then heard her other statement. How to answer?
"Well, If I havn't said anything yet... but with me not being with anyone, the chance of a child will be a quite long time away... that is until I meet someone..." He finally admitted it to her that he was single and left the statement open ended, but now the question that hung was, would she wonder why he was still single? School... powers.. the war... It all puts a hold on your life. Life gets in the way sometimes. "I really can't wait till the school opens, I would really like to see some of the powers that the kids have... but I'll just hope we have a school nurse, cause I'm pretty sure that the kids are going to be hurting themselves against each other. I can only hope that the kids will be willing to try...!"

A voice in her mind screamed out in shock when he admitted his singularity. Well, it seems that people in a similiar situation might get attracted to each other more often than opposites. Where she is with child, he wasn't...so perhaps that had a little bit of an effect on things. However, Julianna was clear with herself. He wouldn't get involved with a woman that was pregnent with another man's child, would he? A part, a large part, of Julianna hoped and prayed that he would actually get involved.
" What a shame." Was her reply to his statement of being single. " Well, one day you just might meet someone. All I know is that you'll make her very happy and the envy of the whole town." Julianna continued before eating alittle more and sipping down some more water. She listened to him talk about the children that would be attending school. Thinking back she could have sworn she saw at least 3 kids younger than 13 wandering around with their parents. She was certain they would definately be willing to try.
" I am almost certain that all the students will be willing to learn something. The problem is that they might try to hard and hurt themselves. A definate reason to have a nurse, I'd say. I'm certain the school will make sure they have one before opening entirely. I'm sure many of the kids of this town have extrodinary powers that will make me stare in awe." Julianna said, her words gentle as she spoke. Once more, food was shoveled in a gracefull manor into her mouth. It was where much of her attention was. I'd say it was split 50-50 between her food and Seiko. Well, okay more like 70-30 in Seiko's favor...
