A small sigh escaped her lungs.
Aoki sensei was teaching everyone how to do something. Math was it? She wasn't sure.
Her tired, intimidating eyes were wandering outside, past the thin layer of glass on her left.
She was bored, but what was that? Crawling on the ground below her?
She felt her legs straighten, and she knew she was standing for a better view of whatever it was.
A squirrel. How cute. She walked up to the window and pressed her face and fingertips against it.
How she wished she could go outside and chase that squirrel.
"Kokonoe? What are you looking at?" She heard.
She sat back down, sighing, resting her head on her hands.
'Why couldn't he understand that she just wanted to get out of here?'
She didn't look up at Aoki, nor did she acknowledge her friends nudging her when it was time to go home.
She waited for them to leave without her, she just didn't feel like talking. Or smiling, or act happy.
For once she just wanted to go outside, and be free. Be like the little squirrel. Without anyone.
'Kokonoe is acting strange lately, she didn't seem interested in what I was teaching today in class.
She seemed so sad, so quiet. Not like her regular self.'
Aoki wanted to talk to her friends, Kagami and Usa-chan. See what's up.
But Usa is very timid and Kagami is always scary when Kokonoe is like this.
Aoki shook his head at this thought, how could he be scared of a small girl like Kagami?
Then his thoughts turn back to all those times she'd sacked him.
He felt his body shiver, and small pang of pain from his abdomen from remembering such thoughts.
"Ah well." he sighed aloud, tired from today's class. It seemed like the class was louder due to Rin's non-participation.
What a girl she is, then.
He started to head out of the school, when he heard footsteps. Running? Who would be running inside the school? Everyone's home.
He looked toward the noise, and saw shoes evading behind a corner to his right. At the end of the hall.
A spy?
He quickly walked toward the corner, and stopped. He put his back to the wall and peeked around.
Kokonoe!
She held something tenderly in her hands, Aoki couldn't see from here. She was .. dancing with it? No, she was struggling to keep it in her grasp.
He could see the sweat form on her forehead from the effort, and her muscles straining.
His face turned red as he watched. She was beautiful.
He couldn't watch anymore. The thoughts in his head overpowered him. The thing in her hands was squealing now, scared.
I have to stop her before she kills it.
Aoki took a step out from the corner, and felt a slight pressure beneath his sole, and heard a scream.
He glanced down, and saw that he stepped on the squirrels head, and there was blood.
The blood pooled around his shoe, and Aoki couldn't move.
"No! Sensei what have you done?" he heard Kokonoe's voice. But she felt far away.
He couldn't stop looking at the blood, he didn't even hear a skull crack. He slowly took his foot off from the spot, and turned away. Disgusted, he held in puke collecting in his throat and stepped forward slowly.
He sank to the floor and rested his head on the wall in front of him.
As everyone left the classroom, including Kuro and Mimi, she felt relieved. She didn't want to go home yet.
She had to find that squirrel.
She left her bag in the classroom not wanting to run with it while looking for that squirrel.
She quickly went outside to search, careful to place one of her shoes at the base of the front door. It would lock automatically, and she wouldn't be able to get back in to get her things.
She didn't know what she was doing, but she was clicking her tongue, placing bits of crackers left over from her lunch in a trail behind her.
Hopefully this squirrel likes crackers.
From behind her, she could hear the faintest of cracking beneath the sounds of her clicking tongue.
She turned around, and there it was. Nibbling on the first piece of yellow cracker.
She felt a surge of excitement flow through her spine,
Now to chase it..
Rin felt the power come to her small legs, she felt pumped. Her first leap for the squirrel was perfect, it was scared and scuttled quickly away, dropping the bit of cracker. She ran with it, behind it, and in front of it, she just wanted to run.
The squirrel was tired, and Rin was persistent. It ran into the open doorway of the school, and just kept on.
Rin picked up her speed, kicking the dirt and leaving her prints in the sand. She slowed a bit, maybe the squirrel stopped to rest.
She saw the squirrel make a turn at the end of the hall, a right turn. And she knew it would stop to breathe.
She tip-toed towards the corner, and peaked a little, there it was, gasping heavily.
She then felt regret, she was sorry for it. Maybe it was an old squirrel.
She ran up to it and picked it up, it was soft. Furry, even. Kind of cute.
She swayed a bit, coaxing it to calm down. But it just kept on breathing so much. Maybe it was choking?
It was spazzing now, she was holding it so it wouldn't scratch her. She grunted as it's short but sharp claws grazed her wrist. She knew if she just put it down slowly it would run out, so she did.
She watched it race away from her and as it came about to turning left, back to the door to outside, a shoe was on it's head.
It's tail pricked up, and slowly fell to the floor.
She knew it was dead.
She felt panic rise inside her chest and a scream left her throat.
She gazed up at the shoe owner, and it was Aoki.
"No! Sensei what have you done?" she yelled, screamed. At the top of her lungs. She was pissed.
She watched in horror as he took his foot off the poor dead thing, turned around, and walked away toward the wall ahead of him.
Leaving bloody shoe prints behind him.
