Kyoujyu glanced at the library's clock, the large piece resting securely above the front desk, hands slowly ticking away the time. It was getting close to the student's room curfew, meaning it also getting close for the library to close, also.
Slipping the ancient Japan book he had been skimming through back onto the shelf, the small boy picked up the two books from the table he had been occupying, now ready to check the books out and get back to his room. He had a lot of reading material to skim through. Kyoujyu especially liked reading mystery novels and was very happy when his Literature class chose them for class material. The surprise, the suspense, the interesting characters, and a plot that made you really think about certain situations and even the smallest of details. They certainly could be named his favorite of genre. But unfortunately, the latest assignment in his class was not even close to being relative to mystery. They had to read a romance novel, which wasn't quite his forte.
Kyoujyu shook his head. He had only started the novel a few days ago, but already it was wearing thin on him. That's why he had come down to the library to retrieve a few extra books to read while he had to "suffer" through all the mushy things to come.
Moving across the library's carpeted floors, he gently placed his choice books on the counter, the woman at the desk greeted him nicely. Kyoujyu nodded back in acknowledgement towards the woman.
He tapped his fingers on the surface lightly, waiting for his books to be checked and handed to him. Looking outside of the door, Kyoujyu blinked when he saw a person walking by.
Taking a small step towards the door, though still close to the counter, Kyoujyu squinted his eyes and saw that it was Rei.
He wondered faintly why he the other was walking around when it was getting nearing the curfew. Kyoujyu suspected that Rei was probably going to the area where the snack machines were – by the look of the other's direction, it was the most reasonable answer since he knew that Rei wasn't into vandalism or anything like that. Kyoujyu frowned a bit, Rei looked kind of worried or very contemplative in the least.
Wanting to go and say hi to his friend as well as maybe question the look on his friend's face, Kyoujyu took another step away from the counter, but soon halted when a soft voice broke into his thoughts.
"Young man, your books are ready. Please take care, they are due back in two weeks."
Kyoujyu shifted his glance back at the woman, regaining his step before flashing a small smile. "Thank you very much." He tucked the books under his arm before hurriedly going out of the glass doors, hoping to still be able to catch Rei before the curfew struck. He was curious to as what was causing the puzzlement and different array of expressions to arise on Rei's face in the quick moment he saw him walking by.
Kyoujyu brimmed with tiny excitement inwardly. He could make this a case. His first booking and small time mystery of interest – find out what was on Rei's mind.
