Banter and Secrets
Kuro and Naru were walking outside together "Hey Aein what is next to do on the list?" Kuro asked curiously Naru paused for a moment, "Actually I want you to do something for me," Kuro tilts her head in confusion as he brings out a notebook, He opens the notebook and rips out a page passing it to Kurobara, swiftly Kuro grabs it and groans loudly "let me guess you want me to go get every single thing on this list"
Naru smirks at her "yes, I want you to get these as soon as possible" Kuro expression shifts into an annoyed expression, she was exhausted and a little fed up "What am I? A fucking Lackey seriously…Ugh" Naru just looked at her with a cold frosty expression, Kuro realises a sigh " Fine, I got some things here at home, Toolbox and nails"
Naru rolls his eyes at her "Just do it quickly, you took too long last time" Kuro's forehead grows a vein showing her irritation clear on her face " Well then why don't you do it if I took so long? God, you piss me off sometimes" Naru watches Kuro's face shift quickly in anger, it amused him he thought she looked kinda cute not that he will say it.
"Has your parents never taught you manner's you have such a vulgar mouth" Kuro eye twitches at what Naru just said she was getting really irritated at his blabbering mouth " Shut up Egomaniac Twat" Kuro sighs and takes a breath before realising a sigh, Naru's mouth twitches up for a small moment.
(Timeskip)
Kuro had got everything earlier and had brought it to Naru both Naru and Kuro were standing by each other listening through recordings while they wait for John and Mai to arrive, Naru had a plan though he did not tell Kuro what it was only for her to wait, it annoyed Kuro quite a lot but she had a sneaking suspicion that he does it a lot.
Mai strides in seeing Kuro with headphone on, her eyes shift to the side seeing Naru right by the side of her, she almost squealed as Mai shipped them, she thought they were perfect together and to be honest she wanted Kuro to find someone, Kuro once said that she never had a relationship before which did shock her quite a lot as Kuro was extremely attractive almost a female version of Naru in a way.
Mai walked up to them both "Hey guys" Kuro looked at her for a moment and gave her a smile a proud smile on her face, Mai was curious why she was looking at her like that Kurobara patted Mai's head and softly smiled at her, Naru interrupted both of their moment "Were you the one who set up the mike on the 2nd floor last night?" Mai looked at Naru for a second "Ah, yeah. I actually wanted to set up the video too, but I couldn't figure it out…" She explained nervously.
Kuro sniggers at Mai but smiles straight away "It was a pretty good job, for you." Naru said. "It picked up some fairly interesting sounds." Kuro hugged Mai "My child is growing up" Fake tears come to her eyes causing Mai to sweat drop "Ah, that's right! You know those shoe cubbies, the ones that fell over? They were warm!"
Mai looked at herself in a proud fashion causing Kuro to giggle softly, Mai was indeed cute and Kuro couldn't deny that Kuro was proud of Mai though as she was learning " I am impressed Mai-chan your brain is finally working" Mai glared at Kuro's teasing " Your so mean to me" Kuro snickers " Yes, Yes I am"
Mai gasped suddenly causing Kuro and Naru to look at Mai weirdly " What is it Mai-chan" Mai smiled at her best friend " I just realized I have not congratulated you" Kuro looked at Mai confusedly but then rolls her eyes "Ah about my test scores right, I got the score's I wanted all A*'s" Kuro proudly smiles at herself, Mai was slightly envious of her friends scores but she was amazed at how smart she is, you could consider her a genius Kuro's smile turn into a grinning cat " Without studying"
Mai gasps, eye widens in awe " Ah your so smart Kuro-san" Naru rolled his beautiful eyes at Kuro and Mai's conversation though he was extremely impressed at Kuro's scores, "Oh, Mai-san's here, too." John said as he arrived, surprised to see both girls, Kuro lets a tiny smile lit up her face and begins to stroke Mai's head " Of course she is here"
"All right," Naru said. Everyone was they needed was there. "Shall we get started?"
(Timeskip)
"Hmm…" Mai said thoughtfully, watching as John finished drawing a circle around the chair Naru had placed in the middle of the room with white chalk, Naru looked at Kuro "Kuro set up the infrared camera" Kuro rolled her eyes at his demanding tone and went to the corner of the room, she grabs a tripod and began to set the camera on their.
Right now she was accurately placing the camera in the right angle, Mai was confused extremely confused what are they doing? It seemed like some kind of satanic ritual all they need is a pentagon, Mai loudly voices her confusion " What are you guys doing, I don't understand" Kuro sighs realising a small breath through her mouth.
Naru ignored her making Mai twitch in irritation " Excuse me! I said something you narcissist" Kuro sniggers to herself as Mai was stomping loudly against the floor causing a small disruption through the ground, Mai pauses when she sees something weird "Naru-chan, what's that?" Naru replied quickly "Radar" Mai still looking confused.
"You mean that thing that's on aeroplanes and stuff?" Mai asked. "What are we using it for?" Naru pinches his nose in annoyance "If I told you it wouldn't work" Kuro chortles softly still setting up the camera Mai stomps her foot like a child and responds " Hah how come you tell Kuro-san? That's not fair"
"I'll let you know tomorrow, but you can't ask me until then." He said sternly, Mai looks at Kuro and grins " Kuro-san what's going on?" Kuro shook her head to side to side " Don't even Try Mai-chan… Naru told me to not say anything sorry" Mai pouted at Kuro's words she felt slightly upset, But Kuro patted Mai's head cheering her up a little.
Naru picked up a hammer, causing Mai to flinch slightly, Kuro finishes her job and looks at Naru raising her eyebrow "two of you take that plywood over there, and board up all the windows and doors in this room for me" Kuro sighs to herself before dragging Mai with her as they both started to work.
for the next 30 minutes, Mai, John, and Kurobara worked together to hammer the plywood over all the windows and doors to seal the room shut, inside and out, Mai was still very confused what was happening she asked Kuro many times but her friend didn't give in it seems like Kuro was stubborn on not saying anything.
"All finished…" Mai said, sounding worn out she looked at her hands and notice some roughness to it she sighed she felt really tired she looked to Kuro seeing if she was as tired as she was but she seemed pale looking sickly actually, Mai began to worry before she could say anything to Kuro Naru hastily forces a marker in both Kuro and Mai's face.
"Now I want the three of you to sign all of those boards." He said. Mai and John exchanged a confused glance, Kuro lets a tiny smile slip through her mouth and began to grip the pen that Naru gave to her, more like forced to her but nonetheless she did what she was told for now at least, she was a little fed up as it is.
Kuro was the first one to write, she wrote in her fancy handwriting showing her unique writing style once again, Mai and John did the same, Mai announces this to Naru watching him through their eyes "All right, then sign here too." Naru said as he finished taping a piece of paper over the boards covering the room's doors. "You can go home when you're done."
"what's the meaning of all this?" Mai asked softly in a curious manner, Naru sighs clearly getting annoyed at Mai's constant questions, "You'll find out tomorrow." Naru said to her as he walked away Kuro sighs she was really getting a headache from this "Hold on, Naru!" Mai called after him, furrowing her brow in annoyance.
Kuro rubs her templates on her forehead, Mai's voice really travels causing more of a headache for Kuro, she may need to get some pain relief after today is done she couldn't wait to have a relaxing bath and to go bed, not only that she has to sort college out, she has a idea where she wants to go but she needs to do some proper research.
"I'm sure Shibuya-san has something planned," John said calmly. "Why don't we just wait for tomorrow?" Kurobara looks at Mai and John " Are you two done?" Kuro questions in annoyance she wanted to go home as soon as possible Mai sweat drops at Kuro's face and nodded to her as she watches Kuro's face morph into relief.
"Mai-chan you won't be able to come to my house tonight, I am feeling a little iffy right now, and I need to sort some stuff out so I will be pretty busy, sorry" Mai smile turns into a frown but replies instantly " Okay Kuro-san make sure you get plenty of sleep" Kuro strode out quite fast.
(50 minutes later)
Kuro smiles as she relaxes in the bath " finally some time to myself" Kuro's neck rolled at the end of the tub relaxing fully, her arms slightly floating above the water, the bubbles coat her hiding her most precious parts of her body, not only that it was hiding her flaws in the crevious of her skin that was dug deep into her flawless skin.
"tomorrow morning I need to start finding a college for myself" Kuro said to herself reminding that she had to do some work tomorrow before she helps the gang, tomorrow was her final day with them she guessed, Naru was probably going to end the case tomorrow, she hoped anyways not that she didn't enjoy the experience but she needs to stop putting the applying for colleges.
Her future was riding on this, she really wanted to do astronomy she really loved space planets and what's out there, she wanted to find new worlds and somewhat feel free as she never got to decide her education she was always forced to do something her parents wanted and now that she has that freedom she wanted to use it well.
"I kind of going to miss Naru-chan" Kuro couldn't deny that she was going to miss her banter with the high esteemed guy he was kind of fun to tease and cute too, but she wouldn't know if she would ever see him again maybe but who could say for certain if they will see each other again, Kuro grabbed the shampoo and started to wash her drenched hair.
Kuro tries to stop thinking as her body tenses, she was making herself slightly stressed and anxious honestly who could blame her as she was going to decide what she wants to do for the first time, College was also worrying her mind as well like what is college like are the people nice, she hoped for no bullying she was sick of her fellow students picking on her it did actually hurt after all.
