It was a mostly quiet day on campus the air conditioning deciding to work for once on a hot day the students were keeping in their dorms for the most part though a few were in the pools or at the beach.

'Classes Canceled due to Faculty meeting'

Was the sign up on the bulletin board in the common rooms though while this was an interesting side note the thing on a good number of people's lips was a strange girl whom seemed to wander the halls in a maids uniform sweeping mopping & dusting various things. Some stayed away from her fearing it was a monster given how Enthusiastically she was doing the work in a french maid's uniform & kept a distance other's assume a ghost or something of a girl who died given the size of the girl & the haunting melody she sung. But this girl was just Airi Katsuragi, she was a bit obsessed with cleaning when she wasn't in the mood to write or sing songs or sometimes even when she was.

Today she found herself in front of a Peculiar door covered in a quilt. She pondered what to do about this, she'd cleaned every other door quite easily. Finally she decided to pull something from her bag or cleaning implements & change of clothes. A hand held steam cleaner it would clean the door without harming the material or stitching.

down the hall came Emily, hanging her head in shame. She had gone all the way to class just to find out that it had been canceled. It was so embarrassing she could hardly stand it. Her cheeks were no longer red, and she just felt ever so silly.

As she came closer to her room, she noticed something odd. There was a maid with a steam cleaner standing in front of her door. She feared that she had missed a terribly important announcement or something. Hesitantly she walked towards her.

"Umm, hello?"

"ohayou gozai masu!"

She said happily turning off the cleaner with the touch of a button offering Emily a kindly bow forgetting that most of the people in this school spoke english, her default language was Japanese after all.

She couldn't help it.

Emily instinctively hugged the cute little girl. The combination of the Japanese and the outfit made her squeal as her cute-o-meter reached dangerously high levels.

"You're soooo cute!"

"Domo arigato! Sore ha sugoku ii koto yo."

By the girl's response she assumed she understood her though even still she blushed as the girl hugged her; she wasn't used to being hugged by random people unless she was in a convention center... then it was usually someone dressed as her that was hugging her.

After the initial rush of cuteness passed, Emily began to get confused. She pulled away enough to look at the girl quizzically, tilting her head.

"Umm... s-sorry?"

opps, seemed she was wrong; she knew the expression on Emily's face more than well enough to know that she didn't understand a word she was saying.

"Forgive me; I thought you understood japanese fro the way you reacted! I was thanking you for the compliment."

She held her always present smile on her face as she straightened her dress from the hem.

Oh good, she could speak English. That prevented a very uncomfortable situation.

"Oh no, it's just that, well, you were so cute I couldn't resest..." She laughed weakly.

"It is alright though does not happen too often outside of conventions, You are also the first girl to talk to me while I'm cleaning the dorms been doing it for a couple days now. They avoid me like an Oni or something."

she commented with a subtle shrug as she looked at the door.

"Do you know whose room this is? I'd like to compliment them on how nice it is."

"You, you do?"

Emily blushed. She was almost too embarrassed to admit the truth.

"Um, well it's, uh, my door..."

"Ahh well then! Love the door Miss! Will have to ask you to do it to my door... when I decided to look at the door they told me was mine. I've been sleeping in the hall when not cleaning."

She scratched the back of her head nervously her perfect hair a bit roughed up by her touch. having 4' 9" long hair without a split end was amazing as it was.

"Well thank you, and I'd love to make you one! I think I have my patters around here somewhere... I'll use different colors though. I don't wanna get confused and try to get into your room instead of mine!"

She giggled and stuck out her tongue cutely. It seemed that all she was doing lately was making textiles for people. Lucky she enjoyed it so much.

"By the way, I love your hair! I can't believe that someone actually has longer hair than me! What shampoo do you use?"

From her bag she pulled a smaller pouch offering it to Emily.

"the four conditioners in that pouch the vitamin & mineral scrub and pretty much any shampoo... Kind of have to learn how to make them yourself if you really want them to work right; I had mine custom made for my unique hair."

She smiled nodding to herself.

"the blend for my weird natural blueish green hair and brunette are kinda different.

She nodded once more adjusting her apron a little.
"Oh and I am Katsuragi, Airi it's good to meet you."

"I'm Emily Strong, nice to meet you!"

She smiled and hugged the girl. Hugs were always better than handshakes.

"I mixed my shampoo up out of a bunch of over the counter shampoos and conditioners. It's a secret recipe!"

She blushed slightly as she was hugged only them remembering she was supposed to be using an assumed identity, alright so she wasn't that good at hiding her real identity, she may as wall have just told everyone to call her Sairen Sora.

"Ohh, so that's why your hair is that nice! And you have a pretty name Emily!"

She always smiled even if the smiles all portrayed different emotions.
