Jessie couldn't help but smile an all to familiar word left the widows lips . It could have easily meant that the girl was feeling better but Jessie was uneasy to assume so much either way the phrase was nice to hear. Jessie watched as a glicing piece of silver was picked up slight annoyance trickled down Jessie spine but she shook it away as she fixed a strand of the wigs bangs, as it had fallen into her line of sight. Jessie watched at Alice sat crossing her legs clearly thinking for a moment Jessie took a moment to lean against the wall crossing her arms . " I am happy I pass as a male in your eyes at least. It is good to hear your rival may have trouble, I would hate to be caught in the first few moments."
She thought for a moment how was she to leave the school ? Ugh she really hopped Alice knew of a way. " If we leave now it would be best after all most are still in clubs till 12 .. Besides it might be best to test this plan out a little see if others are fooled. "
Yes that seemed like a good start to this very odd plan , shed be curious on how this may affect Alice though after all though just a fake one Alice would be going out with a boy, though the busy city..sure enough they'd get attention from someone before the meeting ... Jessie actually had a hint of worry cross her features. " Are you really ready ? "
This was spoken as both in meaning of ready to go but also ready for all that may await. Yet in a way not to be so blunt after all not that Alice was angry at Jessie but Jessie thought best to tread carefully on a web that needed to be fixed a little.

Was she ready? No, not when she thought about it. Alice was still shaken up by everything, not to mention inundated with figurative venom. Like a cask with gunpowder, it wouldn't take much for her temper to ignite once more. Out in public eye, that wouldn't be a very inelegant and unpleasant occurrence. And there was the possibility of accidentally getting someone hurting, too, although probably herself... She tried to shake the worrying thought from her mind.
"Ready." She echoed finally, taking in a breath to calm herself.
It wasn't hard for the widow to sneak Jessie off-campus undetected. It was just like hiding from and avoiding the maids back home, except these ladies were much more strict, older, and not appreciative of games. There were actual consequences involved, too, which made it all the more riskier. But the spider treated the stealth mission like it was an old game of cat and mouse to her.
The city was bustling. It always was regardless of the hour. Although it was a little quieter than most hours, Alice still disliked all the noise and people. She unconsciously began to walk a bit closer to Jessie after a few minutes of absorbing the cluttered environment. They didn't go without some looks - a whistle, even, at some point, but Alice nonchalantly flashed the ring in hand to get end it. She hated the ring and the predicament, but at least the sight of it and Jessie being disguised as she was did manage to ward off any shady characters that would have come up otherwise. There were some random girls from Astrea around as well, one of which the widow recognized as a random girl of prey she had recently shattered, but instead of scurrying away, the girl and her friends just stared at the unexpected pair. How odd.
Although Alice thought she knew where she was going, being in the city made her feel lost in a labyrinth. And the closer she got to the suspected area the less composed and more venomous and slightly anxious she became. She was about to say something to Jessie, but was stopped when a surprise pair of arms suddenly laced around her waist then slipped upwards to cover her eyes, leaving an arched shape as to not risk brushing off the makeup on her white lashes. She would've panicked a little at this, but she knew these hands and this position, so she just stopped walking altogether and let her posture stiffen into a serious mature one. She was in no mood for games.
"If you are wishing to hide yourself better, my dearest Alice, then you do a poor job of it." Mocked a chiding, high pitched voice. It was all supposed to be playful but Alice wasn't having any of it.
"I'm not in the mood, Kutsumari." The widow threatened, trying to keep the poison contained in her voice.
Kutsumari smirked off the threat and instead uncovered the albino aristocrat's eyes. "Oh bother, how cold of you." She swung elegantly around the white widow in a flutter of black lace from her own Victorian-styled dress and took both the gloved hands before the other could protest. The unworn ring was felt instantly, to which the rival widow more or less expected. Wine-colored orbs shifted to the disguised Jessie for a moment and examined her. 'Hmm... The face is familiar, yet I cannot say I recall a name nor have seen this...man before. Though, Alice dearest with a man? Surely this cannot be.'
She greeted Jessie with a charming albeit mischievous smile anyways. "Hello...sir. What business or, shall I say, relation do you have with the Himeno mistress here?"
The ungloved hands swung the tense white-gloved ones of the albino rival playfully like a child as the black widow awaited an answer of authorization. Alice tightened her grip to a painful degree, but Kursumari just once again smirked at her instead of letting go, only offering so much as a brief wince in pain. The rival widows knew the other's tricks, schemes, and tendencies all too well by now to be phased by anything they did each other. If one had to describe them, they could be summed up to the emulation of an old bickering married couple forever locked in a war of a love-hate bittersweetness.

As the walked she could feel as the coolness of the other as she got closer. As they walked Jessie could tell a few people looked at them a couple of men seemed to be focus on Alice more then anyone but Alice soon put out there flame..though the way she choose only made her twig in anger though then a smirk crossed her face they think their married. Noticing where Alices eyes had wondered she saw some students from the school , was Alice nervous about them ? Ah no watching Alice seem to be a tad puzzled ? Jessie looked at the three girls as they just looked at them, noticing one of them fiddle with her skirt and another with slight pink cheeks Jessie summed it up as they were doing the same thing as the guys did to Alice, though to Jessie disguise.
Giving the three girls a slight look as she got closer to Alice making sure they understood she was taken the three girls finally looked away. Jessie was about to take Alices hand though then another body caught Alice into an untangled little hide and seek. Jessie gripped her fist but soon calmed, she needed to keep calm to pull this off.
It was kutsumari ..the rival. As Jessie waited close to the two who talked, argued? Played ? Ah she didn't know what to think of the relationship between them. Yet then Jessie was noticed no analyzed but to no avail so Jessie wasn't recognized good. " Who am I to Himemo-Chan ? I am her boyfriend"
Ah a name what is her name ...jessie thought she would have bit her lip is she could have before speaking again probably adding oil to her inner flame right now . " It is lovely to meet you Ms, my name is Darien Mcknight "
Giving a slight bow to the girl Jessie rose slowly giving a smile yet this smile had a hint of a smirk its self. " I have come to find out about some rather unsettling news I want to both understand and see if we can come to a respectful end . "

Alice twitched slightly at Jessie's introduction while Kutsumari tried to bite down a cackle. This was too unreal! Alice in love with a boy? This had to be a joke! To the rival widow at least, it seemed so. Yet she would offer her respect to the predicament and this rather good-looking man for the sake of the event. "A pleasure to meet you, sir. I had no idea the mistress had a boyfriend. This will surely cause...an unexpected obstacle in today's meeting, master Victoir will not be pleased of this occurrence." She mirrored the given bow with an elegant curtesy. Her curled black pigtails bounced gracefully at the sides of her head. Oh how she loathed speaking of her snowy rival as "the mistress of the Himeno household" instead of casually just Alice or Shigeki, as she often referred to her as. Such was etiquette though.
"How odd, you having a boyfriend, Alice." Kutsumari added quietly, squeezing back much too hard on the rival widow's unfeeling hands. "Although, we both know the only company you desire is that of another woman's." As if to prove her point, the black widow shifted a hand and started to trail two fingers in a teasing manner past the gloved wrist and up the snowy girl's arm. Alice caught the roaming physical taunt in an instant, although instead of pushing the girl roughly away, and risk lashing out again, she pulled her begrudgingly closer for a moment to speak privately. The bell jingled quietly with each movement. Kutsumari took advantage of the moment to teasingly rest her head on the snow queen's narrow shoulder much to Alice's discontent. The ballerina often did this to get the bratty girl to listen in the past, even if she did hate the physical contact and being of such close proximity to her. Kutsumari was warm temperature-wise, but of a different, acidic lukewarm kind.
"You knew about this from the start, didn't you, Kutsu?" Lipstick lips half snarled half whispered into the other's ear.
"Of course." The black widow snickered back. "Who else did you think has been holding on to that ring for you all these years?"
"...You're terrible. I really hate you, my dear."
"Ah, but hate is the purest form of love, dear Alice, is it not?"
Before Alice could push her away in irritation, Kutsumari stepped back and held only the gloved hand that held the ring this time. The snowy spider felt like striking her rival, but something other than the need to maintain etiquette told her not to. Granted, Kutsumari was irritating and mocking her, but something just seemed different. Something in those teasing scarlet eyes. Sympathy perhaps. Maybe even guilt or pity. Whatever it was, Alice couldn't quite tell.
"My sincere apologies sir, and miss Himeno, for acting so unprofessionally. I do believe the location of the meeting wasn't specified, so if you would allow me, shall I escort you both to the proper location? Master Victoir should already be present." Kutsumari offered, bowing in apology.

Jessie stood there wishing she could tear apart the to young woman and hold only Alice close. Though that wouldn't be proper and respectful. Jessie only held from doing her actions more for Alice then anything. As she waited for there little moment to be over she noticed the rivals body change one of respect, shed seen this in the curtsey but it was far more now as she offered to lead them to the meeting spot.
Nodding Jessie took Alice against her handing her arm wrapped neatly around the girls waist. Shed worn boys dance shoes that had a bit of a heal as to make her seem taller, yet nothing notable other then she's slightly taller then the girl more so then usual this actually made them fit together even more so, Jessie found that was a bit odd but yet calming in a way as her hand lightly held Alices side.
Taking a breath to cool the fire with in her as not to burn Alice. Bending down so her lips were close to Alices hear she spoke in a low whisper. " I must admit this hole this is slightly amusing isn't it my little kitten. "
Kissing the others jaw slightly before pulling away to stand straight up. She tried to only think of Alice but that name ..victor ... It kept managing to pop in Jessie wondered what kind of man was he ? Would he understand completely and drop all this nonsense? Sighing to her self Jessie doubted this . She kept half her gaze straight ahead then the other half on Alice she let the arm that was around the smaller girls waist to slide across to the girls hand taking her pointer finger Jessie tapped on the back of the snow spirits hand holding her hand out she looked at her in a way to ask for her to take it if she wished.

The snowy spider let out a pent-up breath and relaxed a little at the familiar warmth of Jessie's touch. Unlike Kutsumari's, it wasn't malicious nor irritating. She couldn't help but produce a single quiet chuckle at her girlfriend's words, although it lacked any humor in tone. "Jeez... I suppose."
Kutsumari watched and snickered, earning a glare from the rival widow. It was quite a surprise to her that the snowy girl actually let someone else touch her. Not that she herself was ever allowed to, but Alice had given up a while ago with her and just let her do as she pleased most of the time regardless. She'd kissed the snow queen before, even, and Alice, her, in return, way in the past, but that was only in moments to shut each other up or get one or the other to stop something out of pure shock of the sudden yet non-romantic action. Kutsumari wondered just how much Alice allowed of her "boyfriend". By the looks of it, quite a lot, yet still the only person the spider of snow would let twirl or disassemble or mess with the braids in her hair was Kutsumari herself. Even if Alice had convinced herself she hated her equally as venomous rival to the brim, there was still a soft spot in her glacier guard that was reserved only for her. And that was the signature braids.
Alice accepted the offer of Jessie's hand and slipped her colder gloved one into the warmer one. Once they were ready to go, Kutsumari twirled on a heel and began to lead the way, chattering to Alice like a child along the way about the state of the Himeno manner. Of the new kittens born to the cats that lived in the stables that the two girls had fought to name when they were younger, and the lonely state of Alice's lily-scented room. Of a goofy stray dog that apparently had wandered into the roses and how Alice's mother and the maids had scurried about all day trying to get the muddy canine to leave. Of the horses and a new bluebird nest in the hedges strangely and the shirking of the duties the snowy widow had put her in charge of as a frequent visitor of the manor. Being near Kutsumari just added to Alice's stress level at the moment as well as thinking about home and her parents whom she felt had betrayed her, but just hearing about the ongoings of the sleepy little things about the Himeno manor calmed her a little.
That momentary calm dissolved once they reached a rather charming courtyard in a mostly empty park. And sitting there in a black lattice chair was a peculiar man. He looked like one of wealth and influence; just as what was expected from one of the aristocratic Kakuya family. An expansive black suit held to his slim figure, adorned by a white ruffle at the collar. His hair was white - a fellow albino, perhaps? - , much like the widow's herself, and when he looked up to gaze at the approaching trio, his thick bangs fell slightly into his pale crimson eyes. One could even go as far as to say he resembled a male version of the Himeno mistress, although, of course, with some characteristic differences. Alice froze, both in walking and in terms of her guard, under that gaze.
"Victoir. Ceci est Alice Chantal Shigeki Himeno." Kutsumari announced in French while correcting one of Alice's neat icicle braids.
Alice wasn't paying attention enough to her to ward her off. She wanted to take a step back as the man rose from his chair and approached cautiously. She couldn't and instead let go of Jessie's hand for a moment to lift the edges of her silken white petticoat in an elegant curtsy.
"Victoir Lumière Ciel Kakuya, j'imagine?" Her voice came out quieter than desired.
The man nodded and offered a gentlemanly bow in return. His scarlet gaze drifted across the three faces and stopped on Jessie for a moment before he decided to finish the brief remainder of the formal introduction. "Puis-je?" He questioned Alice politely. The snowy girl hesitantly offered a gloved hand. Victoir brought it to his lips and lightly lay a formal kiss to the back of it as many men of aristocratic manners often did in the presence of a lady. He paused upon pulling away, noticing that the ring was absent from the ring finger. Odd...
Straightening himself to his full height, he cleared his throat quietly and switched from French to Japanese. "You three may sit if you would like." He offered with a gesture towards the table and chairs. His gaze once more returned curiously to Jessie though while Kutsumari covertly whispered something to the uneasy albino girl. "And who may you be, sir?"

Jessie heart sank, as she watched three people interact and in such a way that was worrying to the natural pink haired girl . She couldn't completely unnoticed the mans charm and how he looked...just as Alice did , he's presence was that of a prince. And here Jessie was hiding as a male school boy... Even if she wasn't hiding she wasn't anything like what Alice was use to ...she was sure of that.
This wasn't to say Jessie was giving up it just made it harder to feel confident. Looking at Alice from the side of her gaze she wondered how she was , she looked a little uneasy and that was more so then from before.
The attention was turned to the tomboy asking who he was ah right he... I am still a male.. In truth this plan was being proven as not the best. It was to late to turn back though. Clearing her throat to make sure her voice was toned correctly she spoke. " My name is Darien Mcknight... And I am Ms Himino' s partner, who loves her very much. "
Bowing to the man infront of her she made sure to gather her thoughts before speaking. " I apologize for my unwelcomed arrival I am sure you did not plan to have so many others join your affairs. "
Standing tall she continued. " and I hope you forgive me in what I am about to say.. I love Alice... And I could not stand by and let her get taken away."

This unexpected other male - Victoir at least had believed her to be male with that disguise...was not just a random figure, but something more it appeared. Alice's partner. A boyfriend... There hadn't been any former news about that. The snow-white male's scarlet eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing that. That would explain why the snowy girl perhaps wasn't wearing the engagement ring. He kept his hardened gaze on Jessie before turning it to his supposed fiancée. "And you, Chantal?"
Bearing a bit of a thick accent that sided as more French rather than Japanese, it was easier from him to use the more French-sounding name out of the spider's full one. Alice stiffened a little as the aristocrat's attention shifted to her. She felt like she couldn't speak for a moment. Taking in quiet breath, she looked at Kutsumari then at Jessie, trying to put her own mind at ease.
"I..." The widow couldn't find her voice for a moment. She bit her own tongue in frustration. The rival black widow offered a brief gesture of a hand, urging her to compose herself and carry on. "...I am inclined to announce that I do love him. Disown me if you wish, but my decision has already been made, granted, without prior knowledge of this arrangement."
"Is that so..." The tone in the man's voice soured a little at the edges. It unsettled Alice but she kept her mature stance and her frosted guard stiff. Victoir started to raise an open palm, but stopped mid-way and curled his fingers, bringing it back down to his side. He couldn't let his sometimes violent temper get the better of him. "Forgive me..." He took a more collected breath. "That is a shame, Chantal. This engagement was...is for a reason, one that both of our households agreed to."
"And that reason I was deprived of being informed about." Alice echoed. She could feel the suppressed venom beginning to trickle back into her voice and blood. She wanted to take Jessie's hand again in hopes that it would help calm herself a little, but that would be improper in front of Victoir, so, instead she took Kutsumari's with a crushing pressure that the rival didn't so much as flinch at. Something metallic felt like it was cutting into her gloved hand. The ring... When had Kutsu taken it? Alice didn't care. She didn't want to hold on to it.
"As I am sure you are aware, Chantal, the households of Himeno and Kakuya have been rivals for generations." Victoir started to explain. "This engagement would be the official peace treaty of the two houses to end the ancient rivalry."
"That is foolish. Unbinding the chains of the household just to bind their children whom have no say upon it's existence..." Alice stopped before her own temper could flare. She looked to Jessie once more. Improper or not, she finally decided to move closer to the disguised girl, letting go of Kutsu's hand and taking Jessie's warmer one with both of her gloved ones. "I cannot carelessly abandon whom I chose, regardless of duty to my family, especially for such selfish intentions. If it is an end of rivalry they wish, they shouldn't stake it on the shoulders of their children. Pay attention to your cousin. We fight and we've harmed each other countless times, but even with this burning rivalry existing, we can stand together as equals at times without tearing each other apart. Neither would I wish her away if given the chance. If our households could take from that... Why couldn't that be enough?"
The spider felt exhausted from speaking as much as she had - especially as truthfully as she had - and it made her unconsciously lean against Jessie slightly. She'd let that all soak in for the moment. Let Victoir and even Kutsumari take from it as they wished.

Stepping forward dust let up in the sudden stop of her foot . She had only stopped her movements once the hand of victors had settled next to his side. Brown wig bangs covered Jessies eyes , for if anyone were to see them they would feel as knives were piercing them. How dare that man even think of laying a hand on Alice. Finger nails dug into the faked school boys hand . Keeping calm was far harder then expected yet a side of fear only caused the girl to tremble lightly, Jessie could only hope if it was noticed it would be thought of as anger.
Slowly though as Alice finally spoke up Jessie calmed though only slightly. Her gripped fists loosed and her shaking stopped . Alice decline to the proposal only helped so much but when the iced hand took Jessie's the tomboy only focused on her. Unconsciously or in fear of what may happen now Jessie took a term hold of Alice gentle but firm with the hand that was taken Jessie laced their arms over Alice's Body, in the appetence almost like a start of a dance. Alices arm was now across her lower chest as Jessies arm lay over the higher point of Alices chest. In this embrace, Jessie felt brave enough to speak setting her loose hand on the fabric of Alices waist so to clutch the fabric rather then the girl . " I do not wish to be a burden for anyone here. Especially you my dear-"
Peering down at Alice , if Alice could read others as well as Jessie thought she could probably see the fire burning in Jessie though that would mean Alice would probably see two other emotions one of slight fear while the other guilt as apology to the physical touch. " But I must say something.... I love this young woman...as I have told you, and I know that family expectations can cause much trouble.. The idea of needing a son to carry on a family or having two children marry to end a rivalry.. I understand how important it is...but do you not wish to find love sir victor ? Truly do you not want to try and find your own romance ? Someone to fight for? I dont know much about your or Alice's life style but if all you want is a way out of family rivalry which comes down to placing some metal on someone's finger you've never even met then I pity your life style. I am sorry. I learned love is far more then that its about trust and emotions and if I thought that a simple request and a ring was what made love then I would probably not be here today. I'd be following my fathers foot steps."
Sighing out all her anger Jessie spoke once more, though this time whispering just to Alice. " Forgive me ...for butting in..but I had to say something...it was that or punch the man. "

The pink haired tomboy was angry. Perhaps a bit scared too. Alice picked up on both those correlating emotions as she closed her eyes for a moment to try and calm herself. She listened quietly to Jessie's words as did the other two, offering a quiet "it's okay," to the apologetic words that were whispered to her. Victoir's facial expression did nothing more then darken slightly. "I have a duty to my family, sir, one that I have followed closely and resolved to complete since I first was given light of this arrangement, regardless of my own freedom's restraint."
There was a soft, suppressed anger in his regal voice. Before Alice could interrupt or him say anything further, Kutsumari suddenly stepped in between him and the couple. Her curled black pigtails swayed elegantly with the quick motion. "While duty is duty, master Victoir, and tradition is tradition, I am afraid this engagement can no longer happen, can you not see? To accept this arrangement would be robbing Alice dearest of actual love and happiness; two things we stuffy aristocrats rarely ever find in life. Even if it was planned from the beginning."
Kutsumari's defending words only angered the albino man more. Even his own cousin had shifted against him. The Himeno and Kakuya's duty. The spark only flared hotter when the black widow's fingers curled to reveal the ring she had taken from the snowy girl. "Please, forget all this, master Victoir."
Without warning, Victoir raised a clenched hand again, but instead, had a different target in mind. The impact of an open palm striking another's face cracked through the tense air. The ring fell to the ground along with a body in a flurry of black lace. Ailce's icy eyes narrowed and she slipped begrudgingly from Jessie's grasp to kneel at her rival's side and take her protectively in her frigid arms. Victoir stared in shock for a moment, just now realizing what he had done. His unruly stupid temper had gotten the better of him.
"F-Forgive me, I-" "Je te deteste!"
The shrill venomous shout rang emptily over his attempt to speak. It had been in French, but just by the venom that was laced within the piercing words, the translation wouldn't be very difficult to guess. Victoir's eyes widened. I hate you had been shouted. Alice's grip tightened to an unintentional painful degree around Kutsumari's thin waist. The sudden unleash of rare emotions was making the widow's mind fester unstably, making the blizzard of her thoughts all melt into one then dissolve into the acid that was rising within her. She could feel herself starting to slip off her web again... "A true nobleman would know when his word is invalid! Your cousin is NOT the target of your foolish anger, neither should she be deserving of it! Someone who would strike out at a lady; let alone one of his own blood... You might have plead for forgiveness, but that is a kindness I cannot spare you, master Victoir!"
Standing up, she pulled Kutsumari back up onto her feet with her. The black widow still held a pale hand to her now red, stinging cheek. A deadly glint had entered the fuming Alice's frosted eyes. Her venomous anger was threatening to drown her, but she couldn't respond in a violent way. That would only make her no better than him. Upon her stoic yet obviously upset features, a rare tear bubbled and glistened down an ivory cheek.
"Chantal..."
"Consider this meeting over." With that, the spider surrendered her rival from her protection and in a snowy blur, departed at a full sprint. It was highly unladylike and unprofessional to run, especially in a dress and in heels, but she couldn't let her anger consume her again that day. Not like it had him at that moment.
"Alice!" Kutsumari bolted off after the snowy widow, giving Victoir a poisonous look of her own and Jessie an apologetic one. Victoir just watched in silence as the whole scene unfolded, feeling incredibly guilty and bad for what he had done.

Everything happened so fast hearing the metal sound of the ring hitting the stone. A ocean of black cloth and lace fluttered in a haze as a young girl hit the ground. Jessie felt as Alice ran to her rivals side. The disguised tomboy was no longer in fear but in true anger. Stepping forward closer to the two girls now sitting on the ground. Before she could get closer to her target, she saw a snowy blur pass her. " Al-ice!!"
She yelled as the shadowed window gave her a look or apology and took after the snowy spirit. Worry split Jessie in half but going over the man that had caused it all she grabbed his caller tight between her fingers. Speaking harshly to the princely character. " You remind me of my father, he was a murderer. Yet he even had love but he killed my mother because of stupid idiotic duties to his own family line. And he loved her, I see In your eyes slightly what I saw in his guilt... Take that and swallow it but you make sure you learn from it and never! Never ever hurt another woman ! "
Letting go of his shirt with a slight push she took off running after the two spirits that had passed by recently. She wasn't part of any sports so as she ran longer she could feel her legs burn but she wasn't about to stop . " Alice !? Where are you ?! "
Her heart tightened as a new fear set in this hole day was mixed up as past emotions... Though it was different it felt so familiar. ' I have to find them , both of them ... I hope their okay. '
Thoughts swirled about Alices rival she wasn't as bad as she thought... Kutsumari did care for Alice.

Victoir kept his dominant expression emotionless, although his pale scarlet eyes still held a look of guilt as well as wisps of the previous moment's anger. He listened to the angered man's words and only let his features melt into a brooding expression once he had been let go of, albeit kind of roughly. Whether it had been from his supposed fiancee or the presence of that young man with her, this had not gone well at all. For anyone, at that matter. He smoothed down his shirt and collar and once again watched another departure, contemplating the consequences that would probably befall both him and the snowy widow at the contents of the rejected engagement.
Alice knew well she would possibly be pursued, but even with that, she let herself keep running. She felt angry, slightly embarrassed, and childish for running off like this. But she couldn't risk the possibility of letting her venomous anger get to her again. Although graceful and delicate, the young Himeno mistress could do much worse to a person than she had done to her room. With running came a handicap to the spider, however, especially at the capacity she was currently pushing herself to. Sometimes those effected with Congenital Analgesia couldn't regulate their body temperatures, which made certain activities not the most ideal. Running was one of them. While others could cool themselves down, the heat-sensitive albino girl could not. Her vision eventually became blurry from exhaustion, and she had to force herself to stumble to a stop. Astrea wasn't too far away. Just a little further... But her body wasn't cooperating with her.
She felt lightheaded now from overheating from the run. Frosted lips gasped for air. That hadn't been a very good idea... She stumbled forward a few more steps, still determined to go on, before swaying precariously and finally collapsing in a snowy flurry of white lace. Kutsumari managed to glimpse the flutter of white out of the corner of her eye and rushed to her fallen rival's side. The snowy girl wasn't hurt at all, she was relieved to discovered; she'd blacked-out from her own heat-sensitivity and exerting herself too much. Although, not being able to cool down, even this incapacitated state wasn't too safe. A concerned frown tugged at the edges of the black widow's lips. Maybe Alice's partner had followed. He must've.
Not wanting to waste any time, Kutsumari slipped an arm under the fallen snow queen's legs and the other across her back. Her legs shook as she struggled to pick her up. The black widow wasn't very strong, but she could hold the light weight of the other, albeit only for a little while. Struggling to hold the white widow, she tried to find the disguised Jessie. "You really don't think things out sometimes when you're angry, do you, dearest Alice?" She murmured wearily to the unconscious Himeno. "Let's hope...we can find your...'boyfriend' soon..."

Feet slowed to a stop all this running wasn't doing any good, shed wear her self out at this rate taking a breath she stood in the middle of the city crowd she noticed it wasn't as crowded as it was earlier, thank goodness. Looking around Jessie whipped sweat from her brow she wasn't far from the sister schools...and she hopped in a way Alice was there safely it was the only place she could think that the girl had headed taking the path to get bAck the school Jessie looked in every nook and cranny looking for any signs for either of the windows.
Biting her lip in worry as she only got closer to the school she wasn't sure what shed do to help the girl once found. Either of them infact. Yet then eyes fell on a girl dressed in black struggling to hold a rather limp looking girl...Alice! Jessie ran up behind the too of them Kutsumari was holding a fainted Alice the tomboy quickly with out a word picked the snowy kitten in her arms bridle style. Her hole body ached in pain from the emotions of today and the running but she didn't let her faze her. She stood holding the usually frosted girl close , her eyes peered over to the other " Thank you... I .. I was wrong about you... Your a good friend to Alice... Now the question ..what we should do right this moment I can't just walk into Astrea..."
This plan was turning into something bothersome rather then helpful. Shed kick her self later for that right now Alice was burning up and Jessie didn't have a real idea of how to help . Looking to the snowy spirits shadow , maybe the other girl knew what to do.
Jessie couldn't help but wait for the others reply though as she did so she noticed the others red cheek, it was a bit swollen. Usually that may not have happened but with the running Kutsumari had done to catch Alice it had quickened the affects of the wound. " Are you okay...Kutsumari.."
Jessie couldn't help but waver in her tone to allow it to come out calmly.

A slight wave of relief washed over the black widow when she saw Jessie approach. When the snowy girl was picked up by the other, she stepped back a little, the curled black pigtails bouncing with a life of their own. She batted one behind a slender shoulder. "We might hate each other with a burning passion, but it's through that playful hate in which we care for each other deeply underneath." With a glance at Alice, she added more softly, "Not all spiders truthfully hate the company of another in their web, after all."
As for what to do, this was a predicament. It was true that this boy couldn't enter Astrea. Although, given the situation, maybe he could... She pondered over it for a moment. Her tight black purse shifted against her side. Oh, wait a moment. Her purse! She flipped open the clipped top and sifted through it hastily, pulling out what she hoped was a bottle of water. Finding that it was, the black haired girl twisted open the top and brought it to the unconscious girl's pale lips. She poured what she could past them, not really looking for her to drink it since she wasn't conscious to do that, but instead letting much of it flow past and down her neck in a thick stream, some of it trickling further and dampening the collar of her dress. "This should help cool her down a little. I don't know if you know too much about her condition, but another effect of it is she cannot regulate her body temperature to cool down naturally like we can , so overheating can be dangerous." ((In other words, people with Congenital Analgesia cannot sweat to cool down like we normally do))
Kutsumari sifted through her purse once more and pulled out a silk handkerchief. She drenched it in the remainder of the water and pressed it to the snowy widow's neck. "Keep this on her, if you please, sir." She capped the now empty water bottle and stored it back in her bag. "Given the circumstances, you might be able to enter Astrea with a brief explanation. But you being a male and I not being a student at Astrea, it might rise suspicion no matter the explanation given..."
The black widow blinked and tilted her head a little when asked if she was alright. Wait a moment, that's right, the slap she'd received. It was stinging a bit more, but she hadn't really noticed it until now. "I'm alright. It hurts a little, but it shouldn't last very long..."
Or at least she hoped. As for the issue with Astrea, maybe there was someplace else around here... Someplace they could all rest and keep Alice safe for the time being. Scarlet orbs scanned the area hopefully. She noticed a peculiar path; one that seemed more like a private one; that stretched on into a road. Where did it lead? Curious, she gestured towards it and looked at the disguised tomboy. "Would you happen to know where this path leads, mister?"

Jessie watched carefully as Kutsumari took care of Alice for a moment... They needed to get to a dorm or something if Alice needed to cool off Jessie knew once way..ice bath..another personal bad idea bit for this predicament it may just work. Though shed ask the shadow window her thoughts first, that was if they found a safe place to be. As she listened to the rivals words Jessie only nodded when it came to the two girls relationship. Though it was good to know.
As far as the other being alright the faked brown haired boy spoke up m " Thats good to hear... I was worried..."
Soon her eyes followed where Kutsumari spoke of that road...where did it lead, ah yes an old mansion donated to the land after many years had gone by it was assumed to be the old etiole Shizuma's at a time. Jessie remembered now of a time when she took photos of it. " It leads up to a well taken care of mansion... Its a part of school history with out being part of the school.. At least I believe. That doesn't matter though lets get up there.. "
Shifting Alice so that the girl stood limply long enough to place her on the tomboys back Jessie made sure she had the girl tightly held in the now piggy back position. Having Alices head rest on her shoulder she began to walk. " Once we reach the old building if you find a way in while I hold Alice that would be helpful. "
The weight though light was beginning to feel heavy and multi tasking may not be the best of ideas. It was getting harder to breath with her chest bound, Jessie couldn't worry about that,her only worry was for Alice and the hope that Kutsumari could find a way into the building.
After walking the long path they came to the large building gray tones covered it with Forrest green lining the edges. White pillars stood in the front leading to the door. Walking to the front door the tomboy adjusted the snowy kitten once more making sure she was up high enough on her back.
