As soon as the infernal bell had rung, everyone rushed out of the room. Including Riku, Sora and I. Yuna, on the other hand, was pulled back by Brother.

"So," Riku started.

"You have anyone in mind yet?" Sora raised a brow.

"Is it about that note you gave her?"

"Yeah. You remember my trip? Since I'm not going to be home, she's gotta find someplace to stay until I come back." Sora blinked, then frowned.

"And you didn't ask me? I am hurt, Riku. I am wounded, even." He laughed at that, shaking his head.

"Well, I'd rather she picks someone I know pretty well, like you. It's kind of easier that way. Ah, speaking of which." He looked at me.

"You're gonna have to join a club you know." I sighed, nodding.

"I know, that's what I was told when I came here. I'm not sure what to join, though...I figure I can just go ahead and head back to your house." He nodded.

"Yeah....you have some thinking to do anyway. Meanwhile, we've got a club to go to." He said, Sora sighing.

"Another day of Aqua training us until we're ready to fall and die. I swear, she gets some sort of hidden satisfaction with this." Riku sighed.

"Probably..."

"I think she's let being the club's leader go to her head." We turned, seeing Ven, walking up to us.

"You guys ready to be dead within 10 minutes or less?" He asked, Sora laughing.

"As ready as a soon-to-be corpse will be!" He said, Riku rolling his eyes at this, but a small smile was on his face, too. He looked at me.

"By the way, I should probably mention the aspect of clubs to you." He said, as I nodded, waiting. He started to explain.

"Basically, you have to join a club in this school, or you're not allowed to come anymore. Harsh rule, I know, I don't even want to know who came up with the damn idea. But, from what we've been told, they thought this idea up because it gave us a chance to 'break down the popularity hierarchy' and find similar interests with those that we wouldn'y otherwise hangout with. And, sometimes, we end up being able to hold special events in them, too. With permission from the principal of course, so it's kind of a rare thing. Of course, I personally think that the clubs have made the popularity structure stronger. But, I digress. Anyway, despite what you might think, it's actually not limited to one club for one person. You can actually choose 5 clubs for the 5 days you have it. Like Xion. She's in Sword Fighting Club Monday and Thursday, and Flower Arrangement Club on the other three days. So, there's that. Also, when the end of the month is over and done with, you have to choose a club, so make sure to choose wisely. You're not really allowed to switch clubs after you've picked 'em. And, knowing you, you're probably going to be undecisive and choose 5 different clubs, or even remain undecided." He said, as I nodded at the information. It was kind of funny, the way he explained it. I smiled at the thought that it sounded almost like a dating sim game. He raised a brow.

"What?" I raised my hands up.

"Nothing. But, I probably should start thinking. About the club, and the person I'm supposed to be staying with." I admitted, as he sighed.

"Good luck. I'll be at sword fighting club. I have to kick Sora's ass again." Sora glared at him.

"Hey! Check the score, pal!" Riku rolled his eyes.

"It's 27 for me and 3 for you." Sora nodded.

"That's right! And I can still kick your ass!" He said, Riku shaking his head. He then looked at me.
