The Immortal Doctor Reid: You know, now that you mention it... I wonder who will ever call him anything else? xD

kiks493: I am wondering too! I saw the promotional video, and most of the voice actors that were voicing the characters, were what I imagined them to be, except for one. :S The art seems just about identical, so I wonder how they will produce this anime!

Which reminds me! What parts are you looking forward to? Anyone read the latest chapters? :)

~~~ As always, please review!~~~

The shrill sound of the doorbell disrupted the still silence of the Kurusu residence. Well, it was not genuine silence, for Kimihito and Miia were not speaking, only because the latter was transfixed with watching television. Evidently, she had not seen anything of the sort before. They were both dressed and ready to leave, but since, while he was waiting for Miia and was watching the morning news, she had caught sight of it, her interest was piqued.

"I'll go grab the door." Kimihito notified her, to which Miia spared a distracted nod.

Making his way towards the front entrance, he cast a wistful glance at the entryway, a strange sense of foreboding gnawing at him, as he opened the front door. There were construction workers there. Many of them, in fact, and they seemed to be government-hired.

"Hello." came the gruff man's cheery greeting. A clipboard with papers, along with a pen, were thrust towards him. "Ms. Smith's orders. Please sign on the papers, and we'll be starting right away." He explained tersely.

"Right. Thank you." Kimihito grasped the pen, glancing behind them to see the parked van, before discreetly eyeing the men before him. One carried a ladder, one carried a tool box, and various other things were held gingerly among the workers, as well as some that were in the van, emerging with peculiar objects. His brows furrowed in thought. It did not seem like anything drastic superficially, but even so, he was strangely wary. Signing the forms - he reckoned there really was no arguing against Ms. Smith - he handed the clipboard and pen back. "We'll be out of your way shortly, if you can give me a moment." Kimihito ushered them in, and he padded back to Miia, instructing her that they should allow the workers uninterrupted time to complete their work. Though reluctant, she conceded, and upon thanking these men, promising to return soon, the two headed into the city, making their way towards the retail district.

Miia was quite elated to be out and about, and Kimihito could only grin, speaking with her and pointing out whatever came to mind as they walked. He answered her questions at length, the over-brimming curiosity prompting him to tell her all about whatever he knew. Her enthusiasm, bubbly nature and sincere smile were contagious.

As expected, however, they garnered numerous stares, and some passers-by were beginning to photograph them, much to his chagrin. Miia was not some caged animal on display at the zoo! He wanted to shout out in frustration, but instead, pulled her steadily along towards the market with renewed purpose, disappearing inside with her quickly before releasing his grip on her slender wrist. She did not seem aware people watched her with almost scientific curiosity, as of yet. Perhaps ignorance was bliss?

In any case, Kimihito procured the shopping list from his shorts.

"Let's see... First, we should head to the..." but when he turned to his companion, she was nowhere to be found.
