Even before the incident in the kitchen Kaiyo's day had been full of surprises. In Potions class her partner for the latest assignment-slash-essay ended up blowing the cauldron to smithereens, which landed quite a few of the students present in St. Mungo's. The Professor had been none too pleased, and the Gryffindor hadn't found the detention to be anything near kicks and giggles. Kaiyo herself hadn't been injured much--well, that was a lie. She had multiple cuts on her face that made it look like she had cat whiskers, which she hadn't minded after everything was stitched up and scabbed. Beforehand all she could see was blood everywhere, it was quite the terrible fiasco. She'd enjoy the whiskers until they faded, she supposed. The excitement was what kept her awake, probably, which then lead to her getting the midnight munchies, and that was where the story left off: in the kitchens. Dressed in dark blue, leopard-printed pj bottoms with a long-sleeved shirt and slippers, the Ravenclaw had not-so-stealthily snuck into the kitchens. Every student did so numerous times in their life, so it wasn't a big deal. The house elves barely even noticed anymore, unless something caught fire or exploded, but that was only once, first year, and she wasn't planning on combining a zucchini with the toaster oven ever again.
Hoisting herself up on the counter to reach the cupboards above, Kaiyo reached in for a cookie, suddenly recoiling and staring at the little teeth-marks embedded in her skin. "Nani?" She murmured in Japanese, surprised at the little cat that stared back at her. "How did you get in here?" Scrunching up her mouth a little but sliding back off the counter as the feline hissed at her, she set her sights on the refridgerator instead. Prying the door open and leaning forward to get a better look she was suspicious of the fact that it was completely empty. Suddenly she was sucked inside, the door slamming shut as she twisted and turned, sucking in a breath of cold air and peering around in the dark. "Nani?! Wakarimasen!" She yelled, pounding her fists against the inside of the door. Shinjirarenai.. I can't believe this. Kaiyo thought, and would have been more frustrated had she not realised she was stuck inside a fridge. Laughing suddenly and drawing her wand out the Ravenclaw lit it, staring around at the faded cream walls before watching her breath billow out in great cold clouds of vapor.
Adjusting so she sat cross-legged now Kaiyo thought about blowing the door open but the idea of someone being there on the other side stopped her cold, quite literally. They could get hurt! She'd just have to sit there shivering until someone else got hungry. Tugging her sweater up so it covered her fingers Kaiyo shivered again, hoping to dear god that her eyelids didn't freeze shut. Who had pushed her in? Had she even been pushed? She hadn't fallen, she knew that for sure. "Bad refridgerator." Kaiyo muttered with a small laugh.

Coeus had gotten into his four-poster bed to sleep hours ago. First the room had been too cold and he'd had to go searching through the Ravenclaw cabinets to try and find a blanket; once he found a puffy, silver and blue quilt and got back into bed, every time he moved he got tangled in the quilt and felt like it was trying to strangle him! Once he got the bedding situation under control, he found out there was a lump in his bed that kept digging into his back. He tried pounding the mattress into shape, to no avail. He tried hexing and jinxing and charming the lump away, but nothing worked! Finally he climbed back out of bed, pulled all the sheets off and was attempting to flip the mattress when…
-Thunk- The little silver knight from the Ravenclaw common room chess set rolled off of his bed and fell to the floor at his feet.
"That's cute, y'know?" he asked the tiny warrior. "Hiding in my bed, making me into a modern day Princess and the Pea… you're real cute. Just you wait until the chess tournament next week; we'll see how cute you are after that." The little chessman pulled a face at Coeus, who promptly dropped him into the pocket of his black sweatpants.
Too disgusted at the reason for his lack of sleep, Coeus couldn't make himself climb back into bed again. He was almost too tired to sleep at this point. So, he decided go down to the kitchen and get a snack. He pulled a navy blue robe on over his Heidelberg Harriers shirt, and made his way out of the common room. In his drowsy state it took him a while to walk from Ravenclaw tower, all the way through the castle, down to the dungeons, where he managed to trip down the stairs. The commotion alerted the Slytherin prefect to his presence, and she was soon upon him, threatening to take away house points and give him detention with Madam Hundar. Coeus merely smiled, focused on that distant part of his genealogy, and soon the girl was agreeing that a strapping boy such as himself really did need to keep his strength up, and that 'If you ever want a study partner…'
The Ravenclaw boy rolled his eyes once the prefect had moved on. He tried not to use his mother's gift, especially not for something so frivolous as House Points, but he was tired, and lazy, and did not want to deal with someone that grumpy at this late hour. He tickled the painting of the fruit bowl and entered the kitchen, expecting to ask one of the house elves for a snack… but no one was there! Usually even at this hour there were at least a couple elves around, working the dough for next day's breakfast, but the kitchen was completely empty! Except for that noise… It sounded like… giggling. He walked around the kitchen, pressing his ear to cupboard doors and cabinets, trying to find the source of the sound, and eventually found that the sound became clearest near the refridgerator!
Cautiously, Coeus pulled open the door to see, "Kaiya!" He was shocked to see his fellow housemate stuck in the ice box. "What are you… doing… in there?" he couldn't help but chuckle a little himself at the situation. A Ravenclaw in the fridge? That was definitely a new one.

By the time someone came and opened the door her lips had turned a lovely shade of blue, and she was trying to hold back shivers. He asked what she was doing in there but before that.. "C-C-C-Coeus!" She exclaimed with a relieved exhale of breath. "Y-you h-have n-n-no idea how g-glad I am to s-see you-you.." She stuttered, laughing, grinning at how ridiculous she sounded. Forcing her legs to work as she tried to slide herself out, the Ravenclaw tried her luck at standing but failed, finding that her legs had successfully fallen asleep in there. The cold and the numbness didn't help. Before she landed on her butt Kaiyo was caught by him, and she staggered for a moment, regaining her balance. Scrunched her face up for a second before laughing she leaned down to slap some feeling back in her legs. "Thank you. I do not know how I got in there, I was looking for food and someone may have pushed me in." She answered him finally, appearing thoughtful as who might have done it while shrugging her shoulders and closing the death trap. Stepping away from it to clamber up onto the counter again she twisted back around, crossing her legs. Hearing a tiny scream before she sat down the Ravenclaw lifted up, removing the squished cracker that had somehow managed to crawl underneath her. It was probably Eliot's, he was known to come down and charm the food sometimes. Rolling her eyes with a grin she tossed the crums into the garbage.
"Can't sleep, or are you just hungry?" Kaiyo asked him before stretching up and yawning. As hunger rolled through her belly again and growled at her she slapped her stomach. Shifting so she was half-facing him and half-looking for food again the Ravenclaw reached into the cupboard and tugged out a box of biscuits. Well they worked, at least they weren't dog biscuits or something. Munching on one now she held the box out, raising an eyebrow while offering one to him.

Coeus holds his arms out in protest when Kaiyo tries to move; "No, no, hold on-" In spite of his warning the girl attempts to walk out of the ice box, and almost immediately begins to fall down. Somehow, she lands right in his outstretched arms, "Looks like I'm just saving you right and left this evening aren’t I?" Once she has successfully seated herself on the counter, Coeus sheds his outer robe and wraps it around Kaiyo. "Verdomme," he mutters in Dutch. "How long have you been in there, Satsuda?" he asks as he brushes her hair away from her face. "You're blue from your eyebrows to your chin; I know you've got house pride, but don't you think this is a little extreme?" he chuckles dryly.
Coeus shakes his head and starts moving around the kitchen, "Well, if anyone did push you in, they aren't here now," he says, gesturing widely to the industrial sized, completely vacant kitchen. "But, I am here, and I'm going to make you some hot chocolate to warm up those icy lips of yours," he says, giving Kaiyo the thumbs up.
"Can't sleep, or just hungry?" The question rings mockingly in his ears. "Can't sleep," he admits. "I've recently found out that sharing my bed with a man is a bad idea…" he drifts off, a confused crease wrinkling his forehead, "That didn't sound right. See I couldn't sleep because a man kept poking me in the back… that didn't help… um, he's in my pants now if you'd like to see?" The nervous expression on his friend's face only solidifies what an idiot he just made out of himself. He shakes his head, lifts the silver chessman from his pocket and sets it on the counter. "Yeah… chess piece... I probably should have clarified that..." his face turns red and he scratches the back of his head awkwardly before he finds a change in subject, "Hot chocolate, yeah? I'll get on that."

"Looks like I'm just saving you right and left this evening aren’t I?" At this Kaiyo nodded, laughing and shivering. "L-Looks like." She grinned, eyes flashing gratefully as the robe was wrapped around her. It was around then she thought, how long had she been in there? If she was as blue as he said she was then it must have been a while. "Long for my face to change color?" Scrunching her face up, realising instantly that didn't sound right, Kaiyo repeated it. "Long enough for my face to change color." Satisfied that this version's English wasn't as accented or massacred than the last one, the sixth year's eyes snapped to her hands, checking to see if she had all her fingers and appendages. She was just wiggling each of her toes when something along the lines of hot chocolate was mentioned, and her eyes brightened. "Thank you! I ruve hot chocorate." Frowning, again she tried. Why was this accent coming up now? She hadn't many problems with it before. "I love hot chocolate. Love." She repeated with a satisfied nod; wondering again why she was chopping her sentences up.
I've recently found out that sharing my bed with a man is a bad idea…"
At this Kaiyo's face contorted into that of.. Well, to put it bluntly she looked a little wierded out, nervous as to what he was implying. What was she to tell all his girly admirers? That he was gay? That would certainly disappoint them.. Sure, she was all for love no matter what gender you were but sharing your bed with a man? As he went on, embarrassed, and finally reached his goal of telling her it was actually a chess piece, she visibly relaxed. He wouldn't be able to fit a grown man in his pants anyway, she should have known. "Oh." She laughed, leaning forward and gently scooping up the chessman from the counter. "Are you causing him trouble?" She murmured scoldingly to it, as the little guy nodded gruffly. "Next time don't bother him, okay? He gets enough of that from all his admirers. They hound him and prod him all day, it gets rather tiring. We have pretty long nails." Kaiyo murmured seriously, and after she got a nod she'd put him back down just as gently before stuffing a snicker back down her throat.
