That night she stayed up late thinking about the conversation she had had with her father and Krad. She sighed and went back to organizing her room and some of her files. Just then she heard a knock on her door, she went over and opened it to see her father standing there with some large box's in his arms.
"Hey dad umm… what's in the box's?" she asked as she took one from him. He smiled and said, "These are all of the records I kept about Dark and what he did, stole, and how he did it. I thought you might want to go over them and compare them to your future ones. Well then good night and try to get some sleep." He said but before he reached the door Rin remembered something, "Oh yeah, dad we've been invited to the Niwa's for dinner tomorrow. I just thought I should tell you."
"I know besides I've been planning it with them for a few months already, and I also know that you invited Krad so don't worry. But I would get a nice outfit together for tomorrow night." He said before walking out of her room.
Why does he do these kind of things? Oh well I guess I should finish that design and get the fabrics ready. She thought as she moved the box's to her file cabinet and looked at a picture she had taken with her family the year her mom had died. Mom I wish you were still here. I really miss you and I know dad sometimes cries himself to sleep so please visit him tonight. And with that last thought she finished her design and put all of the files away before going to bed.
The next day
"Hey there she is!! Rin I actually can't believe that you're the last one here!!" Her cousins yelled together.
"Very funny you two but for your information I'm here on time, you just came early and dragged Krad with you I bet." She said while turning to Krad. "Hey Krad you okay? I'm really sorry that my cousins did that it's just that they have an obsessive habit of wanting to be more punctual than me so they usually go bit far." She exclaimed as they started to walk to school.
"It's okay besides I usually get up fairly early, so no harm done." He said smiling at her as she walked beside him. "Hmm…. I guess so but still. Oh yeah did you think of a design for your outfit?" she asked Krad and Kisa, they both nodded and said that they would show you at school.
A few minutes later you were walking to your classroom when you saw someone walking towards you and your friends. When they got closer you saw that it was Hatori.
"Umm…. H-hi it's nice to meet you. I'm sorry about not introducing myself yesterday but as you know it was a little chaotic. Anyway my name's Hatori Namikawa, what's yours?" he asked holding out his hand. She shook it and said, "Rin Hiwatari and it's nice to meet you to."
"Anyway I had better get going but I guess I'll see you later." He said before turning around and sprinting the other direction. She didn't notice that Krad had been watching her the whole time. When she turned around she saw Krad giving her a warm smile, she returned it and they started walking to their classroom once again.
Once they had their things in the proper places they all sat around Rin and Krad's desks talking about their designs and showing them to the other's. When Rin saw Krad's she looked at it for a few minutes while trying to imagine Krad wearing it. She couldn't so she decided to talk to him about it.
"Hey Krad umm… I don't really know how to say this and I don't mean to sound rude. It's just that the truth is I can't really imagine you wearing this. In truth I could imagine you wearing something like this." She said as she handed him a sketch that she had done last night without really realizing what she had been doing. She handed it to Krad so that he could look at it.
"Wow Rin this is an amazing design and you've already got fabric ideas for it. I guess your right though the design I had wouldn't have been right on me, thanks." He said looking up at her with such warmth in his eyes that she couldn't help herself and she smiled.
"Yeah it's usually always like that though. She has perfect hair, perfect teeth, perfect eyes, it's like everything about her is PERFECT." Her cousins said in unison, Rin looked at them and retaliated, "What jealous? Well I guess it's only natural since your twins."
"HEY!! For your information we've had a lot of people asking us out and it was because they thought that we were perfect. But now people can't stop looking at us and thinking how we're related to you since we look nothing alike. And boys are so jealous of Krad because he hang's out with you. We mean do know how hard that is?" they both shouted before calming down.
"Well I can just imagine but do two feel better now?" she asked looking a them. They looked at each other and realized what she had done. "Yes, but damnit!! Why did you have to use that method?" "Why? Because I wanted to and it's always funny to see your faces, right Krad,?" She asked him as her cousins sat down in some seats in front of them. Krad nodded with an amused look on his face.
"Oh yeah that reminds me, are you ready for tonight you two?" Kisa asked them. They turned around and nodded. Just then the bell rang and the rest of the class filed in to already see the four of them already in their seats.
After the teacher announced that they would still be working on their designs for the day everything went on the way it had the day before. Rin was starting to feel as if she might have found her place after one day. Or so she thought. END CH.10
When the bell rang for lunch everyone began to put their things away and grab their lunches. Rin and her friends headed up to the roof to eat their lunches and talk about the dinner that night.
"Hey Ayame, Kisa how was your birthday the other day? Sorry we couldn't be there we were just arriving." Rin asked as she opened up her lunch and began to eat her favourite salad. At this Krad raised his head and watched the two carefully while listening to Rin.
"Hmm? Oh it was pretty fun and don't worry we forgive you, after all if you hadn't helped us with our homework we probably would have failed. Why do you ask?" Kisa said after she had taken a bite from her sandwich.
"Well last night I was able to find these and since I didn't know where they were I wasn't able to bring them yesterday." Rin replied taking two packages from her bag and handing them to her cousins.
"Wow thank you so much!!" they said together. Rin just smiled and watched them open their presents.
Ayame opened his to see a brand new set of artist's pencils and new notebook. When Kisa open hers she saw a new pair of arrows and a hand glove for archery as well as a coupon for her favourite store that had the newest model of a bow that she had been wanting for awhile.
They both stared up at their cousin before glomping her so hard she was soon having a hard time breathing. At this time Krad interfered and had to pry the twins from their cousin before they crushed her in their double hug.
"Thanks Krad I owe you one." Rin said while trying to get her breath back. Krad looked down at her and gave her a small smile before looking at the twins who were whispering to each other.
"Hey is there anything you want to tell us?" he asked and noticed that Ayame was holding Rin's glasses.
Ayame and Kisa looked at each other before looking at Krad and shaking their heads. Krad just cooked an eyebrow and held out his hand, Ayame and Kisa wondered what he was doing before Ayame realized that he had Rin's glasses in his hands. He handed them to Krad silently and Krad just gave him a small smirk before going back to Rin who was continuing to eat her lunch.
"Hey I believe you dropped these?" Krad asked kneeling down next to her holding her glasses out for her. She looked up and smiled at him, "Thank-you Krad. But you really didn't have to do that for me. But I do appreciate it." She said looking into his eyes and smiling.
Whoa she looks sooo cute right now, it's as if I'm looking at a real angel and I don't mean her alter-ego. He thought before smiling back foolishly with one of his hands behind his head and his eyes closed.
