WHO: Inumuta, Gamagori, Sanageyama + OTHER POTENTIAL ROOMMATES??
WHERE: Kill La Kill house
WHEN: Backdated to Tuesday/Wednesdayish.
WHAT: Houka did a bad thing and now he has to say sorry.
WARNINGS: Violence (in the form of someone being beat up, and someone being whipped) SO... yeah.

Houka arrives back at the shared apartment, fully aware of what he must do. Per Gamagori's permission, he intends to apologize for his actions. Mostly to Gamagori and Sanageyama, but really, to anyone who's there to listen. In some way or another, he knows he's said or done something awful to his roommates, and it took that time in solitary confinement to really get that through to him. He had to be better. They deserved better.

Inumuta sends a look to Gamagori when he steps inside, the other nodding at his arrival, knowing full well what he plans to do, and takes a seat on the living room couch. Sanageyama joins him as well, kicking his feet onto the coffee table by said couch. Anyone who happens to be in the apartment at the time is free to sit in, it's not as if Inumuta minds. He is a proud individual, but not so proud that he'd be too embarrassed to apologize to someone who he thought he ought to apologize to.

Once the two are on the couch, Inumuta begins.

"I messed up. That much is obvious. Aside from getting caught, I did this without speaking to either of you. I thought I could handle it. I didn't think this would be a big deal, a simple information gather. It obviously wasn't. I underestimated what I was up against, and I'm lucky that I was let off easily. If this had been a more dangerous situation, things would not be so fortunate, I'm sure." Inumuta pauses, looking over both of their facial expressions, and continues. "I was reckless. I thought of no one but myself, rather than thinking of us as a team. I'm sorry for not telling either of you what I was doing until it was too late, and for failing to get us more information. I resign to whatever punishments the two of you intend for me."

He bows deeply and rigidly.

"Please forgive me, Gamagori and Sanageyama."

~~And that's how you lose with dignity, Sanageyama.~~

He does not sit. He stands. He's been expecting Inumuta's arrival and made sure to be free from work as well as patrol duties in order to be there for it. Everything that happened- it came as a surprise but not so much so.

He knows Inumuta by now. His habits, how he tends to issues, finds out answers. It's good he's so adept at it, they need someone like him, especially here. What isn't like Inumuta is being caught so easily. But this place, these people, they obviously have much more control over them then they realize, though perhaps it is much more apparent now how much. But even being caught is not the reason for his stern expression, despite being a usual for him or not. The reason this apology is necessary is something completely different. Something he is offended by, that Inumuta hadn't even considered until he finally spent that time alone.

It's too late to let it go by now, though the apology deserves his full attention, his silence, and he allows the other man to speak as he stands tall with his hands folded neatly behind his back.

"Inumuta, your apology is heard but I doubt you realize how important this issue is." He closes his eyes, ignoring anyone else around them as he speaks.

"You've done what is expected, looked to find, chased after things you didn't know if you could catch, and for that I thank you. You do not need to apologize for your instincts on that regard. But!" Opens his eyes, brows pinching at the center and furrowed.

"A dog that runs free will not be found if no one sees him run." Moves a hand to that new addition to his belt, a whip looped there neatly. "What would we have done if they'd taken you without our knowledge of how, or why!? Did you really THINK you could do this alone!? Are you still such an independent fool!?" Lips purse, goes quiet after, a moment.

"Turn around."

He was... expecting this. Hoping it wouldn't come to this, but expecting it nonetheless. It's almost touching, to a degree, that the reason Gamagori is so upset with him is because he was afraid of losing Inumuta. Maybe if it didn't also mean impending pain, he'd be a little more emotionally affected. Maybe in the future he'll look on this more fondly.

"My independence isn't what caused this," Inumuta begins, his frown becoming a thin line. "It was pride." He shrugs his jacket off his shoulders, folding it in his arm and placing it on the couch. He does the same for his undershirt, because if there's one thing worse than getting whipped, it's getting fabric caught in the wounds. After both his shirt and jacket are off, Inumuta turns around away from Gamagori. He drops to his knees and sits on his heels, keeping his hands on his knees.

"... I'm ready."

"Pride?" A sneer. Something heavy hits the floor this a thud behind Inumuta as Gamagori nears. He unraveled the whip, let it drop with his hand gripping the hilt tight, watching as Inumuta assumed a more appropriate position.

"Pride is what kept you from keeping us properly informed?" His tone bitter, but he doesn't move again for now, staring down at him, appreciates how quickly and efficiently Inumuta moved after his words without question. Can see the other man means his apology, but simply saying so isn't enough.

"Yes. I thought I could handle things. I thought I was good enough on my own to do it. It was prideful, and wrong." And he hates himself for it. It must be something in his genetics that make him predisposed towards this sort of behavior. It's how his father acts, it's how his mother acts, and he hates them both for this trait. And yet, he still finds himself on the same sort of path as them, falling for the same ways. It's why he should atone for this. Along with making his teammates... his real family, worry about him. He is still getting tripped up on his pride.

"Do you really think your pride is your own? That it still belongs only to you, Inumuta Houka?" His voice stronger, pressing, condemns Inumuta to the small space the other man kneeled to before him.

"Have you learned nothing from your time with us? Under our Lady Satsuki? Or has leaving your post made you forget what role you play, who you are important to you, who you are now a part of!?" Yelling, but not too loud, they are still inside. More of that heavy tone.

"Who are you!? What is your title?! Where is your allegiance?!"

Even though he knows Gamagori- knows things about the other that most don't, and knows sides of him some will never see- this is terrifying. He's never been on this side of a punishment before, always been more of an observer than anything. No wonder some lose their cool and start sweating like pigs.

He knows better than that, though. Fear and crying will get him nowhere.

"My name is Inumuta Houka! My position at Honnouji Academy is the Information and Strategy Committee Chair of the Student Council! My allegiance is to Lady Satsuki, and Lady Satsuki only! I haven't forgotten!!" Even if Gamagori isn't yelling as much as he could be... Inumuta sure is. Like seriously, reaching the upper limits of his vocal cords here.

Inumuta's usually rather good at avoiding getting caught, avoiding ever needing to be punished, keeping his skin nice and clear. He knows what he can do, what's expected of him, so he's for the most part, stayed rather safe from any whip Gamagori might have ready. But maybe it's this place that made him feel a little different- made all of them feel different. A new place can make you feel disconnected from where you came from, what made you who you are. Gamagori accepts that, but that's why Inumuta must be reminded.

He listens, watches, feeling his own heart quicken listening to Inumuta's words and purses his lips. This is- sad, them being here is sad. Being away from their world, their people, friends and family, superiors... Lady Satsuki, his mother. And he'd be a liar to deny thinking of Mankanshoku and her family at times. But perhaps Gamagori having more people to remember and lock onto has made it easier for him to remember what they all are as well, where they all belong. He knows Inumuta has less people to cling to though-

Doesn't that make them all the more important to eachother?

"Remember that! Remember who you are, where you belong! And NEVER forget who stands at your sides, who stands behind you, who guards your front! Know that all we do and all I do is out of love for you!" Crack!!
