Amane slowly opened her eyes and looked around. She was at the nurse's office at the DWMA. Placing a hand on her side where she was hurt, she wondered who the one who fixed her was. After thinking for a bit, she decided that she didn't want to know. She looked over at the twins who had fallen asleep on either side of her bed. Their heads were laid down on her bed. Closing her eyes, she listened to their soft breathing. They were definitely asleep. After what happened on that mission, it wasn't much of a surprise that they'd be dead asleep. Opening here eyes again, she saw Maka and the others walked in, their faces brightening up when they saw her awake.
"Good morning." Maka said with a small smile.
"How are you feeling?" Tsubaki asked.
"Fine." Amane replied.
Everyone continued talking to her, filling her in on anything that she missed. Masahiro and Masanori weren't badly injured and they woke up after only an hour, then fell back asleep once they realized their meister wasn't awake yet. Amane didn't miss much in class, but Masanori had taken notes for her anyways. There's probably never been a time when he hadn't taken notes. Amane was only out for a little more than a day, which was good news. The whole time everyone was talking to her, she had been looking around; someone was missing from the group. Liz noticed Amane looking around.
"If you're looking for Kid, he's back at the house. He was getting paranoid about his toilet paper." Liz said.
'Of course.' Amane thought to herself with a sigh.
After a little while longer of talking, they heard something strange. Everyone, except the twins, started to look around, wondering what the noise was. Suddenly, Kid burst into the room and jumped onto Amane's bed. He had his knees on either side of Amane and he picked her up by the collar of her shirt and began to shake her.
"How could you allow yourself to get injured like this? What if it scars? It'll make you so asymmetrical!" Kid shouted as he continued shaking her and going on with his rant.
"Kid, get off of her!" Liz shouted as she and Patty took his arms and dragged him out of the room.
"Well, I think we should go now." Tsubaki said before they all left.
Masanori slowly opened his eyes and lazily reached across the bed and shook his brother's head.
"Hey, man. Wake up." He murmured, his eyes still half closed.
Masahiro grunted and pushed his brother's hand away, "Five more minutes."
Masanori picked up a book near him and threw it at his brother's head. His brother threw the book back at his brother.
"I'm up!" Masahiro shouted.
Amane laughed a bit and the twins glanced at her.
"Oh you're awake!" they said in unison, their expression showing their surprise.
Masahiro got up and walked over to a bag that had Amane's clean clothes in it. He picked it up and tossed it to her. He and his brother turned so that their backs were to her, letting her change.
"Amane, what happened to you out there?" Masanori asked.
"I'm not in the mood to talk about it now." Amane said as she changed into her clothes.
Masahiro and Masanori glanced at each other and looked over at Amane who had just finished getting dressed.
"Now that I think about it…" Masahiro began.
"You're supposed to stay in bed for a few more days." Masanori finished.
"Well I'm not going to." Amane replied, walking over to the door.
"Are you heading home?" the twins asked.
"Maybe later. You guys go on ahead." She said.
The twins looked at each other and shrugged. "Whatever."
The twins left to go home and Amane made her way to the front of the DWMA. Not to her surprise, Kid was sitting on the steps waiting for her. She walked over and sat down next to him. Right when she remembered what had happened earlier, it happened again. Kid had Amane by the collar of her shirt and began shaking her again and yelling something about symmetry.
By the time Kid calmed down, Amane had a small headache and was somewhat dizzy. It had gone on for about 10 minutes. Amane laid down on the steps, which wasn't as uncomfortable as she thought it'd be.
"Hey Kid." Amane said.
"Yes?" Kid asked, glancing over at her.
"You're an idiot." she stated, thinking about all the times he overreacted when it came to symmetry.
Kid felt a bit upset then said, "Well, you're supposed to be resting."
"You should know I wasn't going stay there. It's boring." Amane replied.
Kid laughed a bit.
"How's your toilet paper?" Amane asked, a somewhat amused tone to her voice. This guy isn't even close to normal.
"It's fine, but one of my pictures was tilted a little to the right." Kid answered.
"Well, I'm heading home." Amane said as she stood up.
Amane gave Kid a quick wave before turning to leave. Kid watched her walk away, a strange feeling coming up that he didn't quite understand. He felt as if he should keep her there or go with her. For some reason, he felt that he shouldn't let her leave him. He just sighed and shook it off. There were more important things to worry about. He had to hurry home. Something might be upsetting the symmetry of his house.
Amane sat down on the couch and sighed. Laying down she closed her eyes deep in thought.
'Maybe I should've stayed there and rested. Walking home took most of my energy.' Amane thought to herself with a sigh.
"Welcome home, Amane!" the twins sang.
Amane opened her eyes, to see both of there faces an inch away from hers. Though she was very irritated with this, she didn't feel like wasting her energy on those two. She sighed and sat up. The twins looked at her a bit worried and sat on either side of her. The two put an arm around their meister.
"Is something wrong?" Masanori asked.
"Yeah, you usually punch our faces when we do that." Masahiro added.
"Well I'm tired. And if you knew I'd punch you, then why'd you do it?" Amane questioned.
"Well, that's beside the point." Masahiro retorted.
"What happened to you during that fight?" Masanori asked. "Were you not feeling well?"
"Well my vision was shaky and I had a headache." Amane said.
"Do you think it's the virus, the one that those witches injected in you?" Masahiro asked.
"Yes." Amane replied. "Maybe a few days rest would be good for me."
"I told you not to train to hard the day before the mission." Masanori stated.
"Well that's the past, we can't change it. Did anyone make dinner?" Amane asked.
The twins looked at each other then at Amane. They stood up and ran to their room and locked the door. Amane heard the twins' door slam shut and she laid her head back and closed her eyes, trying to calm herself down.
It's been a few weeks since the incident, Amane and the twins hadn't come across any troubles with their missions since then. Amane had started talking a bit more, mostly with Kid. His OCD was rather entertaining. On occasions she would mention the stripes on his head just to see him freak out. Kid on the other hand didn't enjoy that very much.
Amane and the twins met up with the group as they normally did after school. They talked about the usual, the weather, how boring class was, and things of that nature. Amane was starting to grow rather bored of it, so she skipped over to Kid. She had a certain something she had been waiting to do all day. Kid saw this and grew tense, knowing that she was going to do something evil.
"Kid, guess what." Amane said, a smile spreading across her face and her eyes glistening with excitement.
"What?" he questioned, a bit curious. She was never this excited about something.
Amane leaned forward and whispered in his ear, "I tilted one of the pictures in your house by seven centimeters."
Kid's eyes grew wide and he fell to the ground, tears streaming down his face.
"No! My symmetry, ruined! And why seven! That disgusting number! How could I let this happen?" Kid cried.
Amane nearly fell over laughing and the others sighed.
Amane knelt down beside Kid and patted his back, "I'm just kidding you know."
Kid stood up and dusted himself off. "Of course, I knew that." He said simply.
"Sure you did." Maka said sarcastically.
Amane laughed even harder as Kid began freaking out about whether or not his candles were burned at the same height.
Masahiro and Masanori glanced at Amane, then at each other. The good news was that she was no longer hiding her emotions. The bad news, this might not last long and she'll be back to her apathetic self.
