Adaption

Take One: Itterasshai ("See You")

It's almost dawn. The first light of the day can be seen in the far east.

Rima closes the doors to the Moon Dormitory quietly behind her. In the silence of the morning, her footsteps echo loudly across the courtyard.

"You're always full of energy."

"Shiki."

His silhouette is barely visible in the darkness but she knows its him.

"Where are you going?" The brunette asks, curious. "Isn't it still night?"

Rima nods, but doesn't elaborate further and Shiki frowns slightly. She wouldn't be leaving the campus at this time, would she?

"Why are you out here?" She asks.

"What am I doing? Making an observation." He says, looking up towards the sky.

"On?"

"The book I borrowed from Ichijou-san wrote about Diamond Dust. After asking Ichijou-san, he said that I might be able to see it today, so I'm waiting."

How annoying. She had planned to buy his birthday present without him noticing. For a minute, Rima wonders if Ichijou purposely set this up. She did ask him, their vice-president, for permission after all. Then again, it was unlike him to sabotage her plans.

"That would be something new."

"You've never seen Diamond Dust before? It certainly is a rare phenomenon."

"It must be so." Rima commented. She didn't think it'd occur, not tonight at least. "It's cold."

"Days where the temperature drops below minus 10 degrees are rare." He looks at her worriedly.

"I should be going."

"Hang on a bit more." Shiki says, slipping the scarf off his neck and handing it to her. "You won't catch a cold, will you?"

"I'll be fine." Rima can't help but smile. "You shouldn't stand out here for too long."

"I know." He yawns in agreement. "However, after seeing you, I feel somewhat relieved."

"Doushite?"

"That you're okay. I'll stop waiting for the Diamond Dust and go to bed. Be careful."

"I'll see you when I get back."

"See you then."

He watches her leave, waiting until she's far ahead enough before following.

He can't just let her go, not alone.

He needs to see where she's going, what she's going to do.

His stride falters-is she meeting someone?
