It was a very busy day for the Magic Girl Research Society, because today was a collection day. Groups of Aoi's followers, looking more suited for a yakuza movie then members of the MGRS. Pouring everywhere they looked high and low for anyone that might spark Aoi's interest, they plucked up unsuspecting people here and there bringing them back for Aoi's inspection before they were normally tossed out once Aoi rejected them.

One such unsuspecting person was a boy listening to music, which allowed the group of delinquents to swooping on Ren and lift him up as they hauled him back to the MGRS and Aoi. The Magic Girl Research Society like the name suggested meant the interior was awash with figures, manga, wall scrolls, posters, dvd cases and whatever else might be associated with them. There were also costumes, but these were normally meant for Aoi himself.

Still the only thing that really stood out to anyone new to the club would be the members aside from Aoi who were 'thugs' who were part of Aoi's gang and by default club members.

Sitting on a computer chair, Aoi spun around to see who they had brought in, while the momentum kept the club president spinning. A few moments later Aoi finally centered as the chair stopped spinning and looked towards Ren. "Hmm someone new?" Curious now, although the monotone voice Aoi held didn't show it. The president promptly stood up dressed up in one of the many magic girl costumes, skirt, tiara and so on in place and moved to examine the new find.

Ren had been, mostly, by himself listening to one of his favorite tracks of music. Though he'd never let anyone know that he had a guilty pleasure such as listening to Lacus Clyne. He wasn't even paying attention when a group of pompadour haired delinquents snuck up on him as he was spacing out. They grabbed him so fast his ear buds fell out letting the wonderful singing voice of Lacus ring out as he was dragged through the school back to a certain club room.

He was then deposited in a seat where he blinked once, twice, three times. Ren had no clue what was going on but as he looked around the room it slowly dawned on him where he was and who captured him. Instantly he was wincing back, "I'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorry I didn't know my brother would do that to your brother! Please don't hurt me Aoi!" He closed his eyes.

Then felt Aoi poke and inspect him, "Errr..." he turned a few shades of red. "W-what a-are y-you d-d-doing?"

Aoi paused briefly in his inspection to think about what the boy was talking about. Did he know this person? Or for that matter who was his brother? This troublesome thought made Aoi cock his head to the side slightly before leaning against Ren from behind in thought, pressing his developed chest against Ren's neck while Aoi was in rather deep thought.

Realizing the boy had asked a question Aoi looked down at Ren's head before poking at his hair. "Inspection." Aoi replied quickly before crouching down slightly to rest his chin on Ren's right shoulder, while his hands moved to poke at the boy's checks. "Not happy about being picked?"

The last sentence was quick to focus all the other members of the club in the room to focus in on Ren, glaring at him for possibly ruining Aoi's amusement. Or at the very least the work they'd done to haul several people in over the course of the day.

"W-wait so t-this isn't because my brother Alketh was m-molesting Taku?" When the realization it wasn't for that hit him Ren was filled with relief. He didn't want to piss Aoi or his thugs off. Even though now that he wasn't day dreaming he could potentially fend off the whole lot of them he didn't want to waste the energy doing so if a peaceful solution could be reached,

He felt Aoi push his breasts into his neck and Ren paled slightly, "I-inspection for what? I-I don't like where this is going." He paled slightly more as Aoi got closer and more touchy with him.

"Um... I appreciate the attention but you know I l-like girls right?" Ren still didn't have a clue what was going on. Aoi's goons glared at him and it was starting to make Ren irritated. This whole situation did. Pretty soon he'd snap.

Finally one of the goons was mouthing something deragatory behind Aoi's back. Ren got the jist of what he was trying to say and it caused him to finally snapped, "HEY! You can kiss my ass mowhawk head. If you think I'm just another pretty face you've got another thing coming! This "fag" will put you in the hospital!"

Ren sighed heavily. "Why am I really here Aoi? Is there an actual reason or are you just here to feel me up like a piece of meat?"

Soon after the comment from one of the outlying members a magic stick rammed into the boy's face sending him teetering onto the floor. It was very bad to talk like that to new people, not nice at all. Standing back up and setting his arm back to his side, Aoi moved back infront of Ren and sat on the table.

Quickly settling into staring at Ren, while the other members were quite thanks to the knock out blow earlier, Aoi eventually focused on topics brought up before seemingly at random. "I like girls too, I also like kitties, butterflies and tatami mats." Missing Ren's point completely Aoi nodded while the members quickly noted the new info to memory.

Aoi soon shifted to what looked like a more serious thinking as he crossed his arms under his chest, although never breaking his staring from Ren in the process. "Taku was molested though? Pausing again, Aoi cocked his head to the left. "By your brother? Am I supposed to molest you?" Lifting his head back up to stare properly Aoi lifted his right hand to his chin and then shook his head slightly dismissing the thought for now.

Finally getting to the final point Aoi crossed his legs and returned his arm back down with the other so they were crossed once more. "I have brought you here because I am searching for another magic girl, evil must be defeated and there is too much for a lone magic girl to handle." Standing up on the table Aoi stared down at Ren with fire in his eyes, although his expression and tone hadn't changed any. For added emphasis Aoi pointed at Ren's nose. "Thus you have been chosen, you may rejoice."

With the speech over, Aoi's followers were quick to clap, before being silenced by a motion from Aoi letting Ren speak if he wished.

"He was. Taku told me though and I shoved a broom up my stupid brother's ass for it. I hope he craps splinter's for weeks. He shouldn't be messing with my room mate like that" Ren eased back into the chair and stared at Aoi for a good long time as he spoke. He liked girls too, and random other things. Ren also liked cats and tatami mats but that was hardly the issue here.

No, the issue was the other nonsense Aoi was spouting about magical girls and defeating evil. "Are you serious?" There was a pause. Ren's shy facade was all but gone by now.

"You're serious. I'd rather save the rejoicing. I'm a guy. You know this right? I know you are too. We lack the requirements to actually BE magical GIRLS you're aware right?" There was another awkward pause whilst Aoi continued to point at him.

"Why do you want me anyway? What do I have to offer? This seems beyond silly... and... because you're Taku's brother I'm considering it; and that scares me."

Aoi's expression held as the boy was deathly serious, placing his hands on his hips Aoi continued to watch Ren as he spoke, making note of the fact he was Taku's roommate. "Such matters are irrelevant all that is needed is Destiny." Aoi raised his right hand up before gripping it in a fist, before quickly softening it with his next line. "Failing that however there is chance. Not every magic girl was chosen because they wished for it, there was only a need for them and they rose to the call."

Holding his left and right hand out to the side however a trio of manga were placed in his right, while a few doujin were placed in his left. "There are also titles if slim where ones such as yourself are picked to be magic girls." Passing the titles back to the members who had supplied them.

"As for why you were picked, it is obvious my fellow MGRS members followed the advice of our magical mascot character, behold!" The last line carried a bit louder of a tone as things were building up quickly and then Aoi quickly pointed to a large pillow with a name tag attached to it, but the said pillow was empty.

The gang members quickly paled as they saw the pillow lacking their MMC, Aoi sensing something was amiss turned around quickly, which flared his skirt out slightly to see what was wrong. Seeing the issue, Aoi also paled and took a step back on the table. "Evil forces have spirited the beast away, without it we can no longer find the chosen ones."

Pandemonium was quick to break out as members turned on each other for answers, shaking each other and calling each other mean names at any point. It was only silenced when Aoi stamped his foot down on the table, prompting them all to look up at Aoi. "We must locate it promptly! All members are to embark on a search and rescue mission! Prepare the one hundred and eighteenth club wide sortie! We depart immediately!" The others were quick to roar out in approval of the statement and hurried with the preparations some rushing out to inform others or begin the search, while others called others on their cellphones, others still seemed to scurry around the club gathering supplies such as helmets and nets.

Hopping off from the table Aoi turned to face Ren once more. "Come Takuya's Roommate you will assist, be proud this event happening on selection day is rare, it has only happened seventeen times before."

Ren facepalmed.

This wasn't happening.

This couldn't be happening.

He sighed, "Alright. I'll join in on one absolute, unbreakable, unquestionable condition... you don't make me wear a dress." Ren stared at Aoi unflinchingly on this matter. His orange eyes pierced into Aoi's soul in order to drive the point home he wouldn't wear a dress.

"And there are titles where there are guys fighting alongside said magical girls. Don't forget that ether Aoi. Guys who AREN'T wearing dresses."

Apparently Aoi had encountered an issue, something about the mascot that selected candidates for his insane club. Ren facepalmed... again. How could someone have so little sense? Ren was hardly one to talk though since up until now he had been pretending to be shy, well, playing up his shyness at any rate. This situation was making him seem not very shy at all but only because he had been faced with such utter stupidity that he wasn't thinking much about how nervous he currently was.

"I can hardly wait for this to be over and for SENSE to enter your head. If I find this 'mascot' of your's will you agree to not making me wear a dress?" Ren finally asked in exasperation.

Aoi stared blankly back at Ren as he made his demand, ignoring whatever intensity the boy was offering as if it and the demand were unnecessary. Switching gears Aoi focus on the point Ren had made. "While that may be true Takuya's Roommate, they were not magic girls unlike which you have been chosen for."

Tapping his foot in thought, Aoi went over the possible rewards for getting the MMC. "I suppose your first transformation can be put off if we locate the MMC promptly." Aoi nodded before turning around to find something.

With all the chaos going on it was easy to not notice one of the members hurrying over to Ren and deposited a helmet onto the boy's head. "Come on new kid, we gotta hurry up, before the boss gets stuck on something." The boy had a regular head of hair on him and passed a armband with a pin to help hold it in place to whatever was needed.

On the table which Aoi had turned too there were a number of tiaras mostlikely destined for Ren's head since Aoi already had one in place. Other members were affixing their membership armbands to show how 'official' this outing would be
