A new Room mate

Kido class turned out to be pretty disastrous. Kaige got beaten, Orochi went haywire and the teacher got fined for blowing up a wall; even though Orochi was the one who did it. What's her problem anyway? Miko sat in her room looking out of the window towards the night sky. All the academy students were now either asleep or thinking about their day. The room Miko was in was built for two people. Two single beds and a couple of drawers and shelves. Luckily, she was the odd one out and was given a double room.

[Miko] "What a week. That Zanpakutou I saw during kendo practice was cool. I wonder when I Might get my own. Oh wait… six years when I graduate. I hope I last even that long"

Miko crawled over her bed and laid down over the duvet. She stared at the ceiling for a few seconds and closed her eyes.

[Miko] "I wonder what was getting Kaige so rattled up. Is it me? Is it Orochi? She was too harsh on him today so I think I might have to go talk to her"

Thoughts of Orochi destroying the wall and the potential murder of Miko after talking to Orochi made her quickly change her mind. Just then, the door banged three times and caused Miko to fall out of bed in fright. She crawled over to the door and latched onto the handle to pull herself up. At the same time, the door opened to reveal a crimson haired girl in pig tails.

[Miko] "Huh? Orochi!"

[Orochi] "…"

A man stood behind Orochi holding onto a small bag. He wore a peculiar helmet that made his face completely indistinguishable. This was recognised as the night warden's outfit so nobody knew who they were. It's strange how the wardens are so secretive. Then, he began to speak.

[Strange Warden] "Miko, this here is your newest room mate. She moved into the academy this morning and this is the only spare room at the moment"

[Miko] "Oh… alright… I suppose"

[Orochi] "…"

[Strange Warden] "Well do get along. I don't want to find a lovely young lady like you two splat against the wall here"

[Orochi] "It won't be me if it was…"

[Miko] "I feel a bit uneasy now"

[Strange Warden] "Do not worry Miss Sayanashi. I'm sure you'll get on well together"

The warden's speech was slightly altered by the helmets structure. But the voice itself was somewhat recognisable. Miko looked at the warden for a few seconds to see if she remembered anything of his looks. Nothing seemed familiar.

[Strange Warden] "I will leave you to it"

The man was quick to leave. He seemed to have broken into a jog a few meters away from the door. Miko and Orochi simply stood there watching each other. Miko was very unsure about how Orochi works. She smashed Kaige earlier in one swift movement and blew up half the practice pitch. She wasn't somebody to take lightly.

[Orochi] "Are you going to stand there and stare… or am I allowed in?"

[Miko] "Wha….whoops…sorry"

Miko quickly stepped to one side and let Orochi walk past her. The room was relatively small but was enough to fit two people. Orochi threw her small bag onto the spare bed and proceeded in taking out all her strange notebooks and placing them in a drawer beside the bed. All this time, Miko watched nervously.

[Orochi] "Am I a ghost at all?"

[Miko] "What?"

[Orochi] "You seem to be staring at me with demonic eyes. Why is that?"

[Miko] "Huh? Demonic? I'm…er…just…"

[Orochi] "I will say this once. DO not… ever touch my Notebooks"

[Miko] "Ok…"

[Orochi] "…"

Orochi looked over at Miko who was still standing against the wall with the door wide open. Orochi sighed and closed the door gently. Miko quickly scurried over to her bed and squeezed herself into the corner like some freaked out gerbil.

[Orochi] "It appears I've given you the wrong impression. I am not what you may think I am. I love Preserving life and gentle creatures. The only reason why I acted the way I did today was the fact that this academy's teachers are lacking in the power to tell us anything"

[Miko] "So…so that's why you blew up half the wall?"

[Orochi] "I didn't plan to do that. I learned Kido years before I joined here and became very good at it. I feel that using magic is a lot better than fighting with swordplay. That's because… I can't…"

[Miko] "Huh?"

Orochi looked down towards the floor. She seemed depressed. Miko had a peak over and noticed that she had lost some motivation

[Miko] "Er…. Something wrong?"

[Orochi] "It's embarrassing to say… I can't use a sword…"

[Miko] "Your kendo skills are poor?"

[Orochi] "…yes"

[Miko] "Don't worry. I never thought I'd even get into the academy. But somehow I pulled it off. I doubt I'll be any good at kendo either so I think we should spar together during and after lessons. Just to get some practice"

[Orochi] "Sparring?"

[Miko] "You don't want to?"

[Orochi] "Er… its not that I don't… want to…. I've just… never been asked to do anything with somebody else before… especially Shinigami trait related stuff"

[Miko] "Hehe… well I'm not like anybody else"

The tension in the air quickly dropped. Orochi was a nicer person than her actions make out to be. Hopefully, these to students will strive for the top. Meanwhile, a certain purple haired boy stood outside their door with an angered mind and a clenched fist. He wiped his hair away from the purple tattoo over his eye and began to walk away.

[???] Dammit… she's friends with her now?"

He slammed the wall with his hand and began to walk off into the woods. A place where students are forbidden to enter. Miko opened the door and leant out to see what was happening, but the boy had disappeared.

[Miko] "Strange… I swear I heard Kaige just then…"
