Touring around & Freaky Eyes?
Kurobara was not happy… not happy at all, she was exhausted having to deal with her sucky nightmares that plague her, and now she has to be apart from her best friend who she loves… in a sisterly way of course. Honestly, she did not have that much energy to deal with her arrogant crush.
Which made her all the more tense, she really wished her heart would stop accelerating when she was by Kazuya, or stop the ache when he isn't with her. Her feelings confused her, was she supposed to be happy about this or bitter? She let out a deep breath that she has been holding onto for a while.
She was feeling anxious for both herself and for her friend, not wanting her best friend to be in any danger. Everyone split up except her, Kazuya, Monk and Mai. Still at base due to her hesitation to leave Mai alone. It wasn't because she did not trust her friend to be alone, but she did not trust whatever was happening in this school.
Kurobara did not want her friend hurt; she would gladly take all the injuries, which showed a lot among the other cases she had participated in. Kazuya indigo blue eyes, her favourite colour, torn into hers. They were cold-looking, he was impatient with her, and she could tell by his mere faint expressions.
"We have no time for this Kuro; you are wasting my time." Kazuya bit into her, his voice and tone were bitter, almost as bitter as her heart. Monk winced at his sharp tone; he must not be in a great mood, especially with what she had said earlier. That being that she was only here for Mai and no one else.
Maybe that was why he was not happy with Kuro, because secretly he wished for her to be here for him as well as Mai? Perhaps that was laughable and selfish of Kazuya, but for some reason, it was there. He would often ignore these… Foreign and alien feelings and thoughts, but they were still there.
Kurobara bit her lip, scraping her fangs on her bottom lip. She growled lightly, squeezing her hands into tight knitted fists. Mai somehow could feel the very tense atmosphere, making her nervous and worried about her friend and their relationship with Naru. She really wanted them to get together. They were practically made for each other.
"Tch" Kuro let out, tired, feeling her heart clench painfully against her many ribs that made her chest. She touched her forehead in annoyance before glancing over to Mai, feeling her tense eyes soften at the sight of her worry. "Are you sure you will be okay here alone, Mai? You know how I am, I really wish" She grumbled "Wish that I could stay here with you but this… arrogant asshole wants me to go along with him." She gritted her teeth before sighing.
Mai let a small chuckle slip, feeling herself warm-up at how much Kuro cared about her wellbeing. People could say that she was overprotective, but in reality, she was just apprehensive. "Kurobara, I'll be fine honestly!" she spoke, showing a toothy grin, hoping to give her worry some comfort.
Kurobara blinked at her for a moment, her once tense body language changed, slacking more into a relaxed position. "Alright, if you say so, idiot." She replied rather bluntly, moving toward her for a moment before softly patting the brunette's hair, ruffling it slightly.
After she moved away from Mai, going to where Kazuya and Monk were, she inhaled a deep sharp breath. Her eyes moved over to her handsome boss, clenching her hand once again, feeling her chest and stomach flutter when seeing him, irritating her all the more then she was.
She was not In love… there was no way, no fucking way she was infatuated with him. They swallowed, trying not to betray her worrisome feelings on her face. She knew how intelligent and how observant he was; she did not want him to know. Not if she can help it.
"Let's get this over with; I am no means comfortable with this… arrangement but there is clearly nothing I could do." She sighed out, huffing lightly as they moved out of base, leaving Mai alone on standby.
Monk felt extremely uncomfortable with the tense atmosphere, switching looks between the two, as they walked with a blank face plastered on each of their faces. He felt honestly like running away from the two of them. It was getting hard to breath.
'So where are we going first on my tour? Narcissist' Kurobara telepathically spoke to Kazuya, continuing to move as though she wasn't talking to him through his mind. His eyes moved over to her form, acknowledging what she had just said. 'We are going back to the desk first; I want you to see if you find any changes or differences from last time. '
'I really doubt it...Ollie-boy.'
His nose and mouth twitched in annoyance at that nickname, finding it rather irritating and childish. He almost scoffed at her, giving them a sharp glare as she sent him a cheeky smirk on the corner of her lips. One thing she loved the most was getting on his nerves. It was entertaining.
'Do not call me that Kuro' He told her rather coldly inside her head, she just smirked, rolling her eyes at his clear annoyance at his nickname, humming a tune as her eyes darted across his handsome face. 'Whatever you say Aein'
(Small Time skip)
"I do not see why I am back here?" Kurobara stated, annoyance lacing her tone. She really was not in the mood for this type of thing, and maybe she should have stayed home today.
Monk shrugged his shoulders "So no changes to the possessed desk?" He asked, looking at her for any information being the only who could even see anything remotely interesting. Kazuya just looked at her, raising her eyebrows as to say have a closer look. Huffing softly, she moved over to the desk.
"Fine~ I'll check, but after this, I am going to get myself some nice tea, and no I am not going to make you some" She almost glared, voice coming out flat. Her heart raced, feeling his eyes on her back.
She stood right in front of the desk, hand pressing against the rugged wooden desk. Her eyes closed softly, feeling that familiar pulling sensation, her eyes snapped open, showing her Iconic neon blue eyes with an orange that reminded her of the sun setting. They glazed over as she took another look at the Aura of the desk.
Her mouth pulled down into a frown, groaning in annoyance seeing the same Aura as last time, no change. It was a waste of time for her. Turning on the balls of her feet, now looking at Monk and Kazuya.
Monk flinches at her intense eyes, though he did find them rather fascinating. They were sure extraordinary, It made him feel like they could see through his soul, through him. It was strange.
"Well?" Kazuya asked, not even flinching at her eyes. His indigo blue eyes peered onto her face, seeing her nose crinkle. Her lips pulled up into a frown, placing her arms in front of her, overlapping into crossed arms. "Nothing remotely different Aein, The same wisps of Blue, Red and Green. Nothing has changed. I told you there was no need to come back here."
He rolled his eyes at her words "Let's go." He walked out, making her eyes twitch in annoyance, following after him as did Monk who noticed her eyes hadn't faded. 'Yes, your majesty' She sarcastically spoke through Naru's head.
"Hey, Kuro…" Monk spoke up, now beside her. Kurobara blinked, side glancing as she let out a small hum showing that she had heard him. "Why do your eyes glow and change colour? It's kind of freaky."
As he said that, her eyes faded back to her standard colour. Her head tilted, moving so she could see his expression more clearly. "Freaky?" her mouth paused, pouting at his words. Monk sniggered at her face before nodding in amusement.
"Why do you chant?"
"Huh?" Monk asked not understanding her.
"Why do you chant? When you are doing your 'Monk duties' "
"It is part of the ritual, to draw power-"
"Exactly. When I am using my Aura, it is drawing power from my body and the things around me, My eyes are needed to be able to sense these things and categorize them to be able to use Aura, so automatically My eyes glow and change colour to a Neon blue, flecked with orange. I can not change it or switch it off. If I am using a spark of my power my eyes change. I guess, in other words, it is like a ritual or a Chant that I have to do."
"Hmmm, I guess I never thought of that," Monk told her, understanding her words straight away.
(Another Time Skip)
The next room they were headed to was the art preparation room. Where a teacher had claimed to them that they had seen a ghost here, as they came into the room, Kazuya ordered her to look around. She rolled her eyes, huffing as they closed their eyes, snapping them open.
She took a closer look around the room, noticing that both Monk and Kazuya were watching her circle around the room. Her head moved, making her long hair sway, eyes now on them both.
Her shoulder shook in amusement when she saw Monk flinch from the look of her eyes. Taking a quick second to wink at them both playfully she continued to investigate. Kazuya coughed softly at her small action.
While taking a couple of minutes looking around, her face twisted into confusion, eyes darting around the whole area with narrowed iris. Their eyebrows moved upwards-arching, having no clue.
"Well?" Kazuya asked, eyes watching her expression intently, judging by her facial expression she was lost and having no clue on what she was supposed to be seeing or lack thereof. She circled the room one last time, almost as though she was pacing like a wild animal.
"This… This does not make any sense" She finally said, eyes lighting up with apparent confusion as she faced them. Looking lost. Monk blinked at her "What doesn't make sense?" He asked, curious if she may have found something. "Did you find anything?"
She shook her head gently "No… nothing… There is nothing here." She paused, eyes looking around, still finding nothing. "No spirits. I do not see any Aura here that is applicable to Spirits or Psychics/Espers."
"The room is completely clean."
Kurobara hand moved over to her chin, thinking about what this could mean. Monk, who was now right next to her, glanced at them. "Do you think the teacher was just seeing things? hallucinations?" He asked, having a lot of faith in her skills.
She shook her head "I don't think so. I don't know what to even think of this" She told him, with honesty. She let out another hum "There is nothing to really say about this room, all I can suggest is that there is nothing abnormal in this particular room. If he is being haunted by some sort of entity it most probably followed him to the hospital. That can happen. "
Monk nodded at that, Kazuya took a final glance at her, opening his mouth "Are you sure you don't see anything" Kuro snapped her head over to him, eyes twitching in annoyance "Yes I am completely sure, Please have some faith in me Aein, I know what I am doing." She stated.
"Right? Let's go" He dictated, moving out of the room with an impassive facial expression. She shook her head at his narcissist behaviour. "I am far too tired for this shit " She loudly stated, while Monk snorted.
"Let's go follow the narcissist twat."
