Chapter6; Change

Kyohei woke up to a dark room and an empty bed. He searched the blankets for Sunako but she wasn't there. With that he jumped up of the bed and launched himself at the door. He was still half asleep and found himself walking into many unmoving objects. Finally down the stairs and in the kitchen he found her. Her back was to him as she prepared breakfast for the household. He leaned against the doorway, watching her.The smell of burning butter, salt and coffee. His stomach groaned with hunger. Sunako turned to him, looking over her shoulder.

"You're up early." She noted, getting back to her cooking. He grinned, she spoiled them so much. He grabbed a cup of coffee and went to the living after hollering a "you gonna' watch a movie after?".

" Nope. I don't have time, i have to get ready for school." She simply replied;Kyohei all but spat out his coffee.

"What!" Kyohei sputtered. She sharply turned to him with that familiar determination etched on her face. She studied his face from behind her curtain of hair for only a brief moment then let her attention be taken by the meal.. Kyohei felt that sickness again and swallowed it down.

"You've changed." she commented as though she was simply telling him about the weather.

" How so?" he said calmly enough but his voice still carried a hint of danger or edginess. He looked at her up through his eyelashes. she still had her back turned to him but her saw her froze.

"I don't know..." She whispered.

The others were both shocked and pleased with Sunako's decision to go to school. Takenaga- being most observant- noticed Kyohei's discomfort with her willingness. During the entire walk to school Kyohei was silent, his brow furrowed as he considered what she had said this morning. dissecting every gesture, rise in voice and use of words. How could he possibly have changed. Did she realize that... His eyes shot up to Sunako; her back to him. Her long hair swaying back and forth like a pendulum. Why couldn't she just rest and heal. What if this traumatised her further?

Kyohei considered this an came to the conclusion he would have to keep an eye on her. No one was going to touch her. No one was going to hurt her.

School will go well, no one will notice anything wrong with meshe chanted weakly back to herself. Although she had eaten a very healthy and delicious breakfast, her stomach felt empty. She was nervous- ashamed. would everyone see though her lies? She forced her feet to move towards the school ,though her instincts told her otherwise. Sunako looked around and realised that one of the brilliant creatures were missing. She looked over her shoulder and found him. she slowed her step so that she was now beside him. she didn't look at him but just having him near her made her feel a little braver.

They walked side by side the entire way to school. The other roomates caught sight of this and decided to walk faster to give the two a little more privacy. Though they tried to focus on other things they all carried an air of smugness. Finally... They all thought.

As they got closer to school, Kyohei reluctantly pulled farther away from her.

"Kyohei-Kun! Kyohei!" His fans screamed. He sighed and trudged on. Sunako had already gone into the school building.

The best thing about classes is it's impossible for people to confront you in class. Sunako sat in her desk and tried her hardest to pay attention to the class at hand. But still, her fear held up most of her attention.

Class was very dreary and she found her mind wandering constantly to nothing in particular. She looked to the clock several times before sighing and attempting to pay attention to the lesson at hand. She could feel the eyes of most of the student boring into her, which was quite unusual and annoying.

The beell rang to first break. Sunako sighed and put her head on her desk. She could feel someone approaching her.

"What..." She groaned. whoever it was had seriously bad timing. She looked up and saw four girls from her class. They all seemed nervous about something and didn't hide it well.

" Um...S sunako- Chan - um- are you dating Kyohei-Kun?" The one girl asked then looked down at her shoes. Sunako didn't expect this.

"...eh?"

" Is Kyohei your boyfriend?" the other girl said, slightly embarrassed.

"The only thing that creature likes is food." she muttered quickly. She took on that eerie persona again sending the girls shrieking off out of the class. The other students pretended that nothing was wrong and went back to their other businesses until the teacher asked if anyone wanted to take the attendance to the office. Sunako smoothly got up from her chair and went to the front of the class. The teacher held it out his arm stretched as far as it could go in hopes of not making contact. she snatched it from the damn coward and went for the door.

The office was on the other side of the building. Sunako walked through the straight hall, It was so silent and empty, she didn't need to worry of anyone seeing her. Few student scattered in the hallway but they soon left at the sight of her. She was used to this ,it didn't bother her in the slightest. She looked at them all walked their separate ways and realised that one person didn't leave. this annoyed her. She persisted in walking to the office. She felt an instinctual apprehension but she just chose to ignore it. She walked by the person. Grey eyes followed her. she knew these eyes.

A claw of sorts grabbed her around the waist and pulled her into darkness.
