A shorter chapter, sorry. But then again, all my chapters are kinda short.

A faint sizzling sound hissed in the background, and Kimura could smell Kido cooking breakfast. Getting up, she was still tired. Of course, that was to be expected if you went to sleep past midnight. Realizing that she had no clothes to wear, she was deciding to go shopping for clothes when she saw a set of fresh clothes identical to hers. Apparently, the Dan had bought it for her.

That's nice of them.

Quickly changing, she headed out. Most of the members were already awake, but Momo and Shintaro weren't there.

"Hey Seto, where's Momo and Shintaro?" she asked Seto as he came down. "Momo is Shintaro's younger sister, and they live in their own house with their mom."

So all the other Dan members live here? Don't they have families also?

Sitting down, she waited as the other Dan members gathered around the table. When Kido finished making breakfast, they ate. Kimura still felt awkward about eating with them.

Aren't any of them going to ask about the screaming last night?

None of them acted any different. Kido still had her cool leader demeanor, Kano was laughing and Seto was talking with Marry. Hibiya was glaring at Konoha, as Konoha asked for thirds. None of them mentioned the screaming.

They had to have heard it. It wasn't exactly quiet.

But none of them brought it up. None of them confronted Kido or her.

Maybe they have their own nightmares.

Then she understood. They were all so good at pretending, playacting that everything was fine. They didn't ask each other what was wrong because they wouldn't want someone asking them the same thing.

Why? What is it that they want to hide from their friends?

Kano, with his blonde hair and trademark smile. What was he hiding? Seto, with his kind heart. Why was he so nice? Kido, always so strong. Was she really that type of person inside? Marry, so shy and quiet. Why was she so afraid? Hibiya, grumpy and reserved. What had he seen? Konoha, silent but kind. What was his past?

What am I hiding? Who am I inside?

Yes, who are you really Kimura? Thank you Harukawa Ayame for following and favoriting! Here's a cookie just for you! (::) R&R, and bella ciao!
