Just a Hop, Skip, Jump
Chapter Two.
Daniel sauntered over to an obnoxiously clean looking cubical and leaned over the side, knocking the files in his hand lightly against the wall. "Hey," he said, waving the files again in a failed attempt to get her attention, "Kyoko."
Kyoko looked up with a start, having been fairly into her work. (she was nothing if not thorough) She smiled gratefully at Daniel and thanked him for getting her the paperwork so quickly, as she would have soon had to stop without them. Kyoko watched him go and reminded herself that in America it was common call a person by their first name.
She still wasn't used to it. Kyoko wondered if she ever would be.
*In Japan only those who are very close to the person may use their first name. Otherwise, it can be very insulting. Kyoko was also raised in an extremely old fashioned environment (the inn). This would explain why Kyoko was so insistent on Corn addressing her with -chan. Likewise, it also explains why Shou calls her simply by her name. (Sho-chan would have been a fond nickname)
