Hello friend! This is the third part of Anatomy Lesson. If you want to read the last chapter click here! Or if you want to read from the beginning, use this one!

UPDATE 18/12/15 GUYS I'M BACK! Here is the next chapter!

"Noooo, I couldn't have applied to live on Towers, I had to pick freaking Rex," you muttered to yourself as you prepared to begin the long trek back to the hall. Imani had gone to the main library instead. Kuro was staying back for an all nighter. The night air was cool but far from quiet. Somewhere back on the main campus the loud thump of music floated all the way back to where you stood on the hospital compound. Well, I guess I'll see what's going on when I get there. You shouldered your backpack with a grunt and began to move.

"Hold up. I'm here, at like 10 at night, about to walk across the campus by myself. In the dark. With sexual predators and all that ish, in a country I'm not used to. That is a horrible idea; what was I thinking?"

You stopped walking and turned back to face the well-lit haven that was the medical library. Maybe I'll just bug Kuro into walking me over in one of his breaks. You stepped back into the circle of light right by the front and sat on the concrete bench. Your head was buried in your bag as you rummaged for your cell phone. As a result you didn't see a figure arrive and set himself on the other end of the bench.

Zao let the bags he was carrying rest on either side of him as he answered an incoming call.

"Allen? Yeah I got the stuff....no, I'm not gonna say it, even if I was right..." he chuckled at Allen's retort as he hung up. Just as he was about to leave, a groan caught his attention. He looked up to see you glaring at the screen of your phone. Your hair was disheveled, there were dark circles around your eyes and a huge folder and bag were by your feet. Definitely a med student...and definitely a new one.

"Hey, I remember you,"
"Huh? What?"

You looked around to see a vaguely familiar face. The guy smirked at you and sauntered over, much to your distress. "Don't talk to me, don't talk to me. Please don't talk to me. I've been up since 7, and I've been studying all day and I can't be held liable for what comes out of my mouth."

He stared at you in askance before laughing out loud.

"Don't worry, I've dealt with worse." he reassured you as he sat down in front of you. You groaned once again and buried your face in your hands.

"See what I mean? That was supposed to be a though bubble. God, I need to sleep..." you looked up to see the guy watching you with unabashed interest. Your face burned, you weren't used to anyone's attention being that focused on you.

"I swear I'm a nicer person when I get rest," you managed to get out before the yawn you had been fighting to contain.

"Why don't you go home then?" he asked, leaning back against a post.
"I can't, not yet. I'm waiting for my friend to walk me over..." you trailed off, suddenly remembering that this person was still basically a stranger. An attractive one but still...

"Relax, I won't bite," Clearly he had noticed your hesitation. "I'm Zao,"
"..._," you responded.

At that moment, the door of the library swung open and Kuro stepped out, phone in hand.

"_ hurry up, I want to- Zao?"
"Kuro!"
"What?" you muttered somewhat dazed. I'm too tired for this shit...The two ignored you and began their own conversation.

"What are you doing here?"
Zao chin pointed at the bags that had been temporarily forgotten. "We ran outta drinks at Inti, just went to pick up some. _ was just keeping me a bit of company,"

"_ was doing what now?" you interjected. Zao winked at you and continued talking to Kuro, ignoring your spluttering.
"So this was the library you were talking about, I checked the main one first,"
"Too far away, remember I get home through the hospital gate."

"Guys! Can we talk about this another time," you interrupted, rubbing your temples. "I have to drag my butt to class again and I'd kinda want to be conscious for at least half the lectures,"

"I could walk you back to hall," Zao offered offhandedly. "I'm going by that way anyway,"
"Um...thanks for the offer Zao but-"

You struggled to find a way to politely reject the offer. Even if he knew Kuro, Zao was still essentially a stranger to you. Unfortunately, Kuro came up with an answer on his own.

"Good. _, go with Zao, he'll look after you. I'm going back inside."

Without further ado, Kuro left you two alone once more. Zao had taken up his bags and was looking at you expectantly. With a hint of apprehension, you grabbed your own things and began walking, your new acquaintance falling in step with you. The silence between you two was broken by the same music, which gradually grew louder the closer you came to the campus gate.

"Zao," you ventured, growing weary of the constants beat "What's going on over there?"

"Integration," he replied, letting you through the gate first. You quirked an eyebrow.
"You know, the pay party?" he elaborated. Both your eyebrows were raised now. He tried again.
"Every Thursday?"

You didn't answer right away as Zao had picked up the pace and it was getting a bit harder to keep up.

"Would you believe me if I said I've never heard of this?" you puffed. He turned around but continued walking, never tripping up once.

"No way, everyone knows about Integration, even you guys," he responded shortly.
" 'You guys,' who's 'you guys?' "

"You know, med students. Careful, cars"

Two vehicles followed the curve of Ring Road, their light briefly illuminating the way. Then they were gone, and the closest light source was across the road. You both quickly crossed, continuing the conversation on the other side.

"You're telling me to be careful, you're the one who wasn't even looking where he was going, woah!"

He turned around to see you misstep and recover. He snickered, but walked a little slower and closer to you.

"Clumsy little kitten, aren't you?" he observed.
"Um... In my defense, it's dark and I'm tired...and who're you calling kitten," you grumbled, blushing at the nickname.
"As I was saying, everyone knows about Inti, even you med people," He glanced backwards at the looming Medical Faculty behind him. "Stuck in that place all the time....how'd you even live that way?"

"Not all the time, I got to see the sun today," you replied with full seriousness. The look of legitimate concern on his face was too much and you started laughing.

"Relax, I get what you're saying, we are pretty isolated,"

He nodded before giving you a sideways glance. When your eyes met his, your stomach gave a strange, short shudder.

"So what do you do for fun then?"
"Um..." you fixed your bag straps as you responded. "I read....and marathon different series, skype with my friends...YouTube? Fanfiction... doodling sometimes..."
"So you don't go to parties at all?"

You shook your head. "Well, back in high school Imani made me go to this one party but that was about it."

"No drinking games? No clubbing?"
"Nope. Those things aren't really my thing, you know?"

He nodded, looked up thoughtfully, but didn't comment. As you drew closer to your destination you were dismayed to realize that this pay party was at the Student Union. Right next to your hall. The music was deafening at this point and there were students in varying levels of inebriation all around.

"Woah woah, hold up!" you cried indignantly "You mean to tell me this is the bullcrap that's been depriving me of sleep every Thursday night?!"

"Hey, if you can't beat us, join us dollface,"

You turned around to see a figure sitting close by. His dark brown hair had a deep reddish tint. A pair of sunglasses sat atop his head and he was somewhat reclined on the bench, surveying you two from the shadows. A dark brown jacket was beside him on the bench. You could just barely make out the outline of a large number '50' on the back. The guy stepped forward into the light and as he did, you heard Zao laughing beside you. The guy glared at him for few seconds before cracking up as well.

"Zao, you damn stoner, what took yah so long?" the guy asked, talking the bags and handing them to another student.
"I got tied up," Zao replied lazily. "Kuro asked me to take a lost kitten home," You facepalmed at the nickname but didn't comment.
"Really now?" the other guy stepped closer looking you up and down. "Name's Allen,"
"_."

Allen noticed the concern you had on your face as you watched a couple nearly stumble down the stairs.

"Relax, they're good," he said. You smiled slightly, glanced over at Zao and felt your eyes went wide. Another girl was by his side, talking to him and staring up at him through lowered lids. She was small, shorter than him, and definitely smaller than you. For whatever reason you felt a small but somewhat familiar ache in your chest. Well alrighty then.

"Well, it was nice meeting you Allen, but I'm gonna head back on hall. Tell Zao thanks for me okay?"
"Yeah, sure_," he muttered distractedly.

You looked up to see him frowning at the girl. A few moments later, she walked back inside, waving back at Zao as she went through the gate. The Asian in question didn't seem to notice. He and Allen were discussing something in furious whispers. You could make out the words "fucking stupid," and "careful with deals".

"Yeah," you muttered to yourself, turning around and walking away. "I think I'm gonna go home now..."

You had only gone a couple meters before you heard footsteps and an arm around your shoulders.

"Kitten, you weren't gonna leave without saying goodbye were you?" his voice was joking but you thought you could detect a slight note of hurt.

"You and Allen were talking, I didn't really want to interrupt."
"Hey, I said I would take you back to hall. Student Union isn't hall."
"It's close enough," you muttered, allowing him walk with you anyway

The short journey finished in an awkward silence. He stopped outside the security gate and gave you a crooked smile.

"Well _, here we are,”
“Thanks a lot Zao,” you started. He held up his hand to stop you.
“The Emperor doesn’t do things without a price _,” he said, his voice husky, his eyes shadowed by the brim of his hat. You swallowed, your mouth suddenly dry. He looked up and a bright, childish grin stated:

"You owe me a date!"
<(^-^)^ ^(^_~)>
The room was already dark when you walked in. You slowly put your bag down and carefully picked your way across the room, doing your best not to wake your roommate. You nearly reached your bed when the light snapped on. Imani stood in the doorway in a long night gown and her satin sleeping cap. You groaned internally as you saw her glare.

"Check your phone."

The 5 missed calls greeted you as soon as the screen lit up. You looked up sheepishly.
"Oh,"
" 'Oh' she says, do you KNOW how worried I've been! I nearly called campus security. I thought Kuro was coming down with you!?"
"Imani wait, listen-"

She stopped and gave you the Look. The "You better change the phrasing of that or so help me-" look.

"I didn't walk down alone, okay?"
At this she visibly relaxed but still didn't uncross her arms.
"Wid who? I jus' call Kuro, an' 'im still up at di library."
"With Zao,"

The young man was just walking back towards the student union when he heard an almighty yelling from the student residencies. The building he just left turned all its light on, along with a few adjacent ones.

"WHE' DI BUMBUCLAAT?! WHO IS ZAO?!"

"Oops," he muttered to himself, walking away a bit faster.
