Kaname woke to the sound of her alarm chirping. She blindly attempted to turn it off and finally got the thing to shut up on the third try. She managed to get more or less into an upright position on the bed. After sitting there half asleep for a while, she managed to stand up. Grumbling, she dragged herself to the bathroom and got in the shower. As the water pounded her sleep away, her mind started to wake up. She mostly thought about Sousuke. He was such an idiot. He never seemed to learn. It was war this, blow up that. Really, the nerve of the guy. Why couldn't he just pretend to be normal?!
By the time she was out of the shower, she was only getting angrier. Her mood didn't improve when she saw blood stains on her panties.
"Great, mother nature just HAD to make my morning worse."
Even though she knew a lot of her irritation with Sousuke was hormonal, it really didn't make any difference. He has lived through worse, he'll be fine. She finished getting dressed and left the bathroom. Usually, the sight of him was calming to her, but today he was drooling on the couch and that just pissed her off even more. I had better leave before I really let him have it.
She stomped out the door and slammed it hard. Fuming all the way to the train, she boarded and sat down. She got to work, sat down and tried focusing on her work. Eventually she was absorbed in the mundane mountain of paperwork that all companies seemed to live on.
Her typing was interrupted by Takani. He walked by and set down a canned coffee on her desk.
"Sorry about yesterday," he said
"You mean when you interrupted my work, like you're doing again?" she spat back.
"Uh, yeah, I guess. Sorry." With a disturbingly charming smile, he went back to whatever he did.
Kaname went back to typing. Lunch time finally arrived, and she took her break and bought something not very good from a vending machine. Eating alone, she started feeling sorry for Sosuke. He was really trying his best. And it's not like she actually wanted him to be normal. If he had been, she would probably be dead.
It's not him, it's me, she admitted quietly to herself.
Break was almost over. Clearing her thoughts, she got back to the task at hand, namely, turning a small, but ever growing pile back into a smaller pile. If she was lucky, she might actually see the bottom of the "in" pile.
The day passed, and it was time to leave. As she headed for the door, a female coworker flagged her down with a giant smile. A group that was going to karaoke was inviting her to come along. Kaname really needed to make some friends at work, so she decided to tag along. At least for a little while. She didn't want Sousuke worrying too much.
