Heat... That scorching heat it felt familiar somehow, but she knows she's felt it before only a couple times in her life, but she couldn't place where. Wake up... Wake up she heard a male's voice echo in her mind continuously, and she tried blocking it out, but wasn't successful, then was snapped out of her dream, and put back into reality Kemono sat up still tired from being woken up abruptly. "Oh finally you wake up Kemono. Why the hell are you all red?" Reginald asked obviously a bit ornery from trying to wake her up.
"Red?" Just a simple word Kemono said as she looked down at her body to see it bright red as if she's been sitting in front of a fire for a long period of time.
Reginald shook his head, inhaled deeply, and sighed "Anyway you should go take a shower before our classes.".
Kemono agreed with a simple nod. When she stood up she felt a bit weak, but shook it off given she just woke up, and walked over to the bathroom barely able stand nonetheless walk.
Jade saw how Kemono she was walking so he stood up, and walked up to her, reached out, and asked with concerned tone "Hey Kemono you o-" But stopped he's sentence short as soon he made contact with her shoulder, and pulled away.
"You alright Jade?" Reginald asked slightly interested why he pulled away.
"Yeah I'm fine it's just that Kemono's hot for lack of a better word." Jade replied confused.
"Excuse me Jade do you mind repeating what you just said!" Jane yelled furious as she quickly stood up, and gave Jade a angry glare.
"No no no not that kind of hot what I meant is she feels hot almost as if she's on fire." Jade explained quickly.
Kemono just stood there listening to her team's little conversation until she felt to weak to stand, then collapsed to ground almost in rag doll like fashion this caught the attention of her team. Jade, and Reginald lifted her off the ground, and carried her to the closest bed "I... I'm f-fine... trust me." Kemono gasped.
Reginald laughed a bit "You fine you can't even stand, and yet you call yourself 'fine'.".
"Yeah... Th-this is me... better... get... used to it." Kemono joked even though obvious having a little trouble breathing.
"Seriously you're cracking a joke in the state you're in right now." Reginald scolded Kemono with a harsh tone.
Jane looked over at Reginald with a pissed off look, then looked back at Kemono "Well anything we can do before we leave?" Jane asked still a bit worried.
Kemono thought for a moment "Help me... into the... shower please?" Kemono asked as she gave Jane a small smile.
"Uh o-okay, then if that's what you want." Jane agreed as she grabbed Kemono's arm, and pulled her out of bed she was resting in, then carried her to the bathroom no matter how bad it burned, and set her down in shower. Kemono lightly tugged on her underwear signifying that she wanted them off Jane sighed, and took off her underwear, then tossed them in a basket out side the shower "Better now?" Jane asked embarrassed from the current situation she was in.
Kemono replied with nod, and smile, then was greeted with a rush ice cold water as Jane walked out of the bathroom closing the door behind her. Kemono winced in pain, and her breathing become ragged as she listened to the water hiss on her body as it evaporated into steam like holy water on demon, but she just had to sit there, and deal with it until she felt better.
After a few minutes she was able to breathe normally again plus have a enough strength to stand. After a few minutes Kemono stood in the shower with the water running down her back as she took deep breaths to try, and slow her heartbeat which all that seemed to do is make it faster, then she decided to quickly wash up with some of Jane's shampoo, and body wash, then rinsed off, turned off the shower, stepped out, and dried off with a towel she found while looking through some of the cabinets. When Kemono was done she wrapped the towel around her body, and walked out of the bathroom to see her team still there "Why are you guys are still here I thought you would've left for classes already?" Kemono asked confused as she saw Jade, and Reginald look away.
"Kemono classes don't start until 9:00, and right now it's only 7:52." Jane replied with a sigh.
"Oh okay well why didn't you do something?" Kemono suggested as she walked over to her baggage, and took out some underwear, and put it on.
Jade looked over at Kemono "We would if we had something to do we would do that thing, and do you have any shame any at all?".
"Oh I have shame, but I just don't show it 'cause I must become shameless!" Kemono replied proudly while she put on her uniform.
"S-shameless what's that mean?" Jade asked confused.
"It's a reference to something I watched" Kemono answered shrugging off the question "Anyway should we leave like right now or a little later?".
"Wait first of all weren't you deathly sick?" Reginald questioned her as he lightly shook his head.
"Oh that that happens if I don't use my semblance after a long period of time. I hate it, but I also love it." Kemono explained as she created a flame in her hand, then extinguished it.
"That's your semblance I was wondering what it could be." Jane said with slight interest "And actually Jade's semblance is fire".
"Really now? Well anyway let's go wonder a bit, and find our classes in the process." Kemono suggested as she straighten her uniform.
"Are you sure you're going to be okay Kemono?" Jane asked still a tad bit worried for Kemono's health.
Kemono walked over to Jane, and put her hands on her shoulders, and gave a reassuring smile "Trust me Jane I'm fine. It's not like I'm going to die, or anything well not yet anyway".
"Anyway let's go ladies we've spent enough time talking already." Reginald ordered as he, and Jade walked out of their dorm.
"Reginald's right we should go before we some how we end up late." Kemono said as she checked a clock on the wall "Because right now it's 8:06 so come on little Jane." Then walked out of the room.
Jane sighed, then walked out with Kemono.
Kemono had couple classes with Jade, and the others, but the classes she did have with them were pretty boring, and not all that interesting. The only things she really did like was the training so she could hone her skills, but next thing she knew she was eating with her team in the dining hall "Kemono how are you holding up?" Reginald asked while taking bites of his food.
"I told you I'm not gonna drop dead... not yet at least." Kemono replied annoyed.
"Looks like you're getting mad Kemono." Jade snickered.
Kemono looked over at Jade "Yeah I am because you guys keep pestering with that same question over, and over again, and you know it get's really annoying." Kemono barked harshly, then stormed off.
Kemono found herself in the library reading a book she just picked off of one of the many shelves when one of classmates sat across from her with some books, and papers "Hey your name's Velvet right a second year student. I'm not confusing you with anyone else?" Kemono asked.
Velvet agreed with a little shy nod.
"Hey come on you can talk to me it's not like I have a reason to hurt one of my own kind 'cause if I did that would make me no better, then some humans." Kemono reassured.
"Why do you want to talk to me not?" Velvet asked shyly.
"Why? Because I want to talk to somebody who won't drive me mad with the same question consistently" Kemono replied with slight hint of anger.
"Oh I see. Well do you want to ask me anything, or anything specific?" Velvet proposed as she closed a book she had opened.
"Well no I'm not one to spark a conservation people usually do that for me." Kemono replied with a slight sigh.
"Okay, then I guess I'll ask you a question. Do you prefer man, or women?" Velvet questioned her with interest.
"Well that's quite personal, but alright I guess I have to say women." Kemono answered.
"For some reason I thought you'd say that. No offense, or anything." Velvet admitted.
"None taken Velvet, and I just realized I don't think you know my name do you?" Kemono wondered.
"It's Kemono right I think that's what you said." Velvet replied confident.
"Yeah you're right that's my name. I'm glad that you remembered." Kemono said as she got up, and put the book back.
Velvet looked around to see if anyone was around "Hey Kemono could we... you know?" Velvet nervously asked.
"No I don't know, and why is your face all red." Kemono observed.
"W-well I was wonder if you could go out with me?" Velvet blurted as her face turned a deep red.
Kemono looked over at her shocked "M-me why me." Kemono stuttered.
"Well it's because I never had a relationship myself." Velvet admitted in nervous tone.
Kemono took a couple deep breaths, then gave Velvet a smile "Okay I'll go out you. I think it's about time I get into relationship.".
"I didn't think you'd accept it." Velvet said stunned.
"Well you are forgetting that I'm a lesbian as well." Kemono pointed out while she walked next to Velvet, and sat down.
"Oh right I kind of forgot about that." Velvet said quietly.
"Anyway I should go, send me when you want to go on a date." Kemono suggested while she walked away.
A few minutes later she walked into her dorm to her teammates doing what they usual do Jade sharping his sword, Jane reading a book, then Reginald was drumming along to a beat, but stop when he saw her enter the room "Well look who returned from the land of dead." Reginald sarcastically said.
"Very funny Reg, and before you even ask why I left it was because you guys were pissing me off." Kemono explained as she walked over to her bed, and sat down.
Jane put down her book, and looked over at Kemono "Where did you go anyway?" Jane asked.
"I went to library." Kemono answered.
"Wait you read?" Reginald questioned with a shocked tone.
"Yes I read you dick anyway another thing I should mention is I have a girlfriend now." Kemono confused.
"Wait so you read, and you're a lesbian. You're a strange one I'll give you that." Reginald said with a short sigh.
"Thank you I take that as compliment." Kemono smiled "Well anyway I'm taking nap my day has been good, and bad, but mainly good." Kemono sighed, then closed her eyes, and drifted to sleep.
