Tokyo U. 8:45 am 4th floor west hall
The next day, the halls were busy with students hurrying to their classes. "Um, sir?" a girl with a baby blue shirt on and tight blue jeans tapped Kurama's shoulder. "Nani?" he turned around. "Um.. do you know were the bio lab is?" she asked holding up her schedule. "Yes, follow me. I am on my way there," Kurama said. "Thank you, by the way I am Nori Shiin," she said, smiling. "Shuuichi Minamino" he said. "Nice to meet you," she said, taking quick steps to keep up with him. "You as well." "I just moved to Japan, so I am a little lost and all," she lied. "Where did you move from?" Kurama questioned her.
Her mind raced, quickly trying to think of a country she knew a lot about and one that if it became that bad, she could fake and accent for. She couldn't think of one, something like this never came up before in the job. "What?" she asked, pretending she did not hear him. "Where did you move from?" "Oh... I moved from America," she lied.
Again her life was banked on the lies she made to lure her pray in and kill them like a spider. Tying them up in her web so they are in too deep to get away, then letting them stay there, making futile attempts to free themselves from her destruction. "I have been there, once," Kurama said. "This school is really big," Nori said, trying to pull the topic off of herself. "It is, but you'll get used to it. If you know the right way to go you'll never be late." "Really?" she asked. "Indubitably."
Tokyo U. 2:00 pm 1st floor north hall.
Krow sat in the student lounge reading a book between her classes. She had an hour free so there was no point in walking all the way back to her dorm from the school, so she sat down to read. The lounge was almost silent except for the sink, which continuously dripped. Drip...drip...drip...drip... it repeated its synchronized symphony.
The world was black as ever. Nothing could be seen, but the world could be felt spinning as death came near. The sweet bliss of not feeling any pain. Mari took her last breath as...
Krow slammed her book shut. She was in no mood to read that right now; not with everything that was going on at this time. Too much all at one time, this was never something that she could have planned. The pain of life at the time of her sister's death, the stress between school work and arranging a funeral, it was all too much.
She slid down in the seat and started to cry as she had many times in this week from hell. Krow jump as the door across the room was opened and close with a load click.
She quickly wiped her eyes. Trying to hide the evidence that she had been crying, she hid her nose in the book she had.
"Krow..." a familiar voice said. Kurama sat down next to her, her eyes red from crying. "You know things can only get better from this point on," Kurama told her, his voice smooth, caring, and understanding.
"Shuuichi..." her sobs continued.
"No one's here Krow you can just say Kurama....." she had known his name for some time but never used it in fear that someone may over hear her. "Oh, Kurama, how can this all be? I mean everything that has been happening. There so much! What have I done to have the gods so mad at me?" she started to cry again. "Don't cry..." Kurama said softly. "Things will get better," he hugged her close to him as her stream of tears continued to flow like a river. "Krow, I am going to help you out with some of the arrangements. I can't let you do all of this alone with all that is going on. You have not eaten all day and if I had not brought food, I know you would not have eaten last night."
She looked up at him. "But I could not ask you to do that."
"You didn't. I offered to. When is your last class?"
"4:30 to 5:00"
"Ok, then I will meet you at your dorm at 5:30. We will have dinner then work a little ok?"
"Hai"
