A/N: This is Hikari-san's point of veiw.
Hier Of The Hikari's P.O.V
You were walking around Azumano, trying to wear of the stress that you'd grown. Your stress hadn't come of you working to hard, but also because of what Kurai said.
"Your eyes..." she met your gaze, "They're so cold..." She had a huge grin on her face,"I've got it! You're my new friend!" She ran back to you from Takeshi, "You're Hiwatari-kun! My new friend!" "Kurai." she told Saehara. "Hiwatari-kun... Why are you so cold? Did something happen in the past?" She walked closer to you and streched out her hand.
While you were absorbed in your thoughts, you had run into someone. "Itai!" they said. You held your hand out for them. They took yout hand and started standing up.
"You should be careful next time." you said letting go of them as soon as they were stable.
"Oro?" they looked you. It was Kurai. "Hiwatari-kun!" she said as she hugged you. You, being uncomfortable of her name, tried to pry her off.
"Nanada, Kurai-san?" you asked.
She finally let go of you. "Nanadamoniyo, Hiwatari-kun!" she said.
"Hn." you said.
Hey eyelids were half closed, "Why are you so cold, Hiwatari-kun? Aren't I your friend?"
You turned around and started walking. You then stopped. "Where is it that you're going?"
"Oro?" you heard behind you.
You turned around and faced her completely, "I said, 'where is it that you're going'."
"Uhh..." she looked up for a while and then put a paper in your hand, "I'm going where this paper is telling me to go!"
You read over the paper and chuckled. "So you've entered Azumano Junior High." you said more than asking.
She tilted her head to a side. and had her mouth ajar. "That's what it's called? I never knew..."
You walked to her and made her put her head proper again, "Then why'd you register?"
She had a smile on her face. "'Cause all my friends go there, like you!"
All her friends?
"Well, your lost aren't you?" you half said, half asked.
She held her head down in shame. You grabbed hold of her wrist and started walking. "Oro?" she looked back up to see that you had made it so she followed. "Where are you taking me, Hiwatari-kun?"
"You have to go get your uniform, right? I'm bringing you there" you walked faster. You looked back to look at her.
She had a huge smile on her face, "Arigato, Hiwatari-kun!"
The two of you had been running around for twenty minutes trying to remember. You two had finally reached the store and it was close to sunset. The two of you were breathing hard. Then you heard laughter behind you. You turned around to see Kurai laughing. "What are you laughing at?" you questioned.
She stopped laughing but a few giggles emitted from her mouth. "I- It's just- It was just so fun!" she started laughing again. "It was like in a game. We were trying to find something and we only had--!" she laughed again, "One clue...!" She stopped laughing but a few giggles left her mouth.
"Come." you said as you turned around.
"Oro?" she asked, with slight confusion in her voice.
"The sun is going to set soon and the store will close." You walked to the store entrance.
"Matte, Hiwatari-kun!" she yelled, running after you.
Once inside, the clerk checked the database to see if Kurai was registered. After acknowledging taht she was, he went to the back of the store. He brought half the girl uniforms and a couple of gym clothes, along wiht a few swimsuits. "Here." he said placing them down in front of us, "Try out these and find the one that fits you. We will bring more of those sizes after you're done." He went back to his chair to drink some coffee.
"Well," you started, "are you going to try them out?"
"Oro?" she asked, and then,"Oh yeah! I'm going to right now!" She grabbed a uniform of everysize and went into the dressing room. About ten minutes later, she returned wearing a uniform had the skirt stop half way down her thigh. The uniform that she had chosen was longer than most. "Hiwatari-kun?" she said, popping up in front of your face,"What do you think of this?" She walked backwards in front of a mirror and turned to you.
"Why are you asking me?" you questioned, raising an eyebrow as well.
She pouted, which you had to admit was cute.
What? I did not think that. She's just a girl. I have-
"Ne! Answer me, Hiwatari-kun!" she was pouting again. "Do I look okay in this?"
You nodded your head in replacement of a yes.
She had a smile on her face and she chose some gym clothes and some wimsuits and went back in. "Kurai-san?" you asked her while she was changing.
"Hai?" she asked in return.
"Don't ask me to say how your clothes look like. Just choose the one you like and leave. I don't even know why I came here." you answered siting down in a chair.
"... Hai..." came the sad answer.
