Makoto starred, utterly speechless at the girl in the front of the classroom. "Please introduce yourself", the teacher said. The girl made zero eye contact with the class, glancing into the distance.
"My name is Kayo Hinazuki...pleased to meet you", her voice was quiet, with a rather nonchalant tone. She ran a hand through her hair, in a similar way Mikasa and Carly did.
Makoto gulped a bit, feeling himself turn deeper shades of pink. "Okay Kayo, you can sit in front of Makoto Jaeger", the teacher gestured.
Kayor nodded quietly. She walked over to her desk, and sat down. She didn't seem to notice Makoto, her eyes seemed to be somewhere else.
"She's a bit strange...", a female student whispered. "Does she have special needs or something?", another whispered.
Kayo didn't even bat an eye at the whispering, getting her textbooks out quietly. Makoto bit his lip. He leaned back in his seat. He realized he was still blushing..he could feel it on his cheeks.
His heart was also still racing...it was obvious he had a crush on her already. He sighed, he could only imagine Alex's teasing if he was here.
Makoto blinked then, as he looked down. He noticed a dark purple mark on Kayo's knee, most of it hidden by her skirt.
Makoto's eyes softened, worried. It...looked like a bruise. But why? The class went slower than usual for Makoto...he wanted to properly talk to Kayo.
Not just because he had a crush on her...but he had his mother's kindness..and wanted to make sure she was all right. Maybe she just fell on her way over...it was winter after all, and the roads were slippery.
When the class ended, Makoto went to the cafeteria to eat lunch since it was too cold outside. He noticed Kayo sitting by herself, eating quietly. Makoto took his chance, and casually went over.
"May I sit here?", he asked. Kayo didn't look up at him. "Doesn't really matter", she answered, again in a quiet voice.
"Thanks! Sorry, all the other tables are full", Makoto sat down, scratching the back of his head. Kayo sipped her water bottle.
"No they're aren't", she commented, without looking up. Makoto blushed, sheepish. It was true many tables were actually empty.
"O-Oh...right..well, I'm sitting here now", Makoto stuttered a bit, as he opened his Japanese bento that Mikasa made for him.
He blinked softly then, noticing Kayo just had a cold sandwich and a bottle of water. "That doesn't look like much...", he commented in a concerned voice.
"My mom works a lot..she doesn't get to cook much", Kayo replied softly, still not looking up. Makoto glanced down at his own lunch. He bit his lip then.
"You can have some of mine if you'd like!", he blurted out then, a bit suddenly. Kayo blinked, and finally she looked at him properly.
She looked surprised, and then frowned. "Bakajanaino?", she asked then, in Japanese. Makoto blinked. "Eh?", he asked, a bit lost.
Kayo blinked. "Aren't you half Japanese?", she asked, looking closer at his eyes. "Oh, well...not quite half, my mom's half Japanese...my older sister Carly, she knows more Japanese than me", admitted Makoto a bit sheepishly.
He really had fallen behind in that subject of class. Kayo looked at him, rather quiet. Makoto felt like she was silently judging him.
"So...um..what did you say?", he asked, embarrassed. "I asked if you were stupid", Kayo answered simply. Makoto gawked at her.
"Uhh...well...I don't think I am..", he was completely taken aback by the question. "Why would you ask that?", he asked.
"You're willing to share your lunch with a complete stranger, after all the hard work your mother went into making it just for you", Kayo replied.
Makoto starred at her, blinking. "Holy cow...you're...you're a strange one, Kayo Hinazuki...you're really mature for your age. Um...don't think of it that way, mom makes me lunch every day, and I think she'd be pretty mad at me if I didn't share with a damsel in distress", Makoto answered, grinning a bit.
Kayo looked down a bit before answering. "If you're sure", she gave in. Makoto smiled then. He sat closer to her, pushing his bento towards her.
"You can pick what you want", he assured her. Kayo took a moment, before picking a few things. "What's your name, anyway?", she asked softly as she took a bite.
"Makoto Jaeger", replied Makoto, he blinked then. Kayo had gone quiet...the look on her face...like she had never eaten anything quite this good.
She placed a hand to her cheek, her eyes wide. "Kayo?", Makoto asked worriedly. Kayo blinked, snapping out of it.
"Sorry...it's just...I never had anything this good before", Kayo admitted, as she continued to eat. Makoto looked at her, his eyes turning worried again.
"You've never had a Japanese bento? But...aren't you from Japan?", he asked. Kayo didn't answer him, as she finished eating.
She finished some of her water, as she got up. "Gochisoosama", she said. It was obvious she wasn't used to not speaking her native language, and still carried a bit of an accent.
She began to walk away, the bell about to ring. "Ah, wait! Kayo! Where...did you get that bruise?", asked Makoto. Kayo stopped for a moment, not turning to look at him.
"I fell on the ice on my way here", she replied simply. "Oh..I see. I'm glad that's all", Makoto smiled. Kayo left then.
Makoto sighed softly. He went to the library on next break, and looked up what "Gochisoosama" meant in English. He flipped through the pages.
"Found it!", he read, and saw it meant "That was delicious" in Japanese. After exiting the library, he glanced down the hall to see Kayo. He was about to wave over, but saw she went into the girls bathroom.
He sighed, just missing her. He headed back to class. Inside the girls bathroom, which was empty, Kayo staggered a bit as she leaned against the sink.
She was clutching her belly, feeling like she may throw up. Like her body...wasn't used to keeping large amounts of food down.
Almost like she barely ever got an actual meal..if ever. She groaned weakly, shutting her eyes tightly trying to fight the severe nausea.
Her belly kept heaving like she was going to vomit, but she kept trying to swallow it back. Makoto..was sweet enough to share his food with her after all.
The nausea only heightened, as she gripped the sink tightly, and hit her stomach, frustrated. "Come on...keep it down, damn it...!", she growled, weakly.
She nearly threw up, but eventually the nausea left, she was able to keep it down. She whimpered, leaning against the wall, her hand on her stomach.
She glanced down and lifted her skirt a bit, seeing the large bruise on her knee.
By the end of the day, Makoto was waiting to meet his sister. He shivered a bit, and used his inhaler. "Sis is late again, big shock", he rolled his eyes, knowing Carly was most likely either goofing off with Emily or making out with Arashi in a broom closet.
As he waited impatiently, he saw Kayo walk passed him. He blinked, seeing her about to go up some stairs.
"Kayo! Are you walking home by yourself?", he asked. Kayo glanced back at him. "I always do", she replied.
"Oh..don't you get lonely?", asked Makoto. "Is this you making small talk?", asked Kayo. Makoto blushed a bit sheepishly.
"I guess so...", he admitted, a bit awkwardly. Kayo looked at him more. She came down the stairs, facing him.
"Makoto...could you do me a favor?", she asked. Makoto blinked, and even looked excited. "Yes? What is it?", he asked eagerly.
The wind blew a bit hard, causing Kayo's hair to flow in the breeze. It looked really pretty, as Makoto blushed.
Kayo had the most nonchalant expression on her face. She took a deep breath.
"Could you...kill my mom?", she suddenly asked. Makoto blinked, his brain actually needed a moment to process what she just asked, due to the casual way she asked it.
Like asking him to get her something from the store. "Uhhh...what...?!", he gawked at her, a horrified look on his face.
Kayo starred at him, studying his reaction. "I was joking", she then said, although she wasn't smiling. Makoto gave a nervous chuckle.
"O-Oh...? You were? You sure know how to keep a straight face...although I don't get the joke...", admitted Makoto, completely disoriented.
Kayo gave a small nod. She then turned about to leave. Makoto snapped out of it. He didn't know where that came from..but...he didn't really care. His heart was still calling out to her.
"Kayo, will you be here tomorrow?", he asked. Kayo glanced behind her. "Baka...I do go to school here now", she replied.
Makoto blushed. "I think she just called me an idiot", he admitted, as she left.
As he stood there, completely smitten, Carly finally came over. "Hey kiddo! Sorry I'm late", she blushed, waving goodbye to Arashi and Emily.
Makoto didn't hear her at first, starring out at the horizon. "Hm? Makoto? Oi! Makoto!", Carly waved her hand in front of his face.
Makoto blinked, snapping out of it. "Oh..sorry sis", he was still quite red. "You're beat red Makoto, do you have a fever?", Carly felt his forehead.
"No, I'm fine! It's nothing..", Makoto started, as he began walking. Carly followed. "Makoto, are your lungs okay?", she fussed, worriedly.
Makoto sighed. "I said I'm fine, sis!", he insisted. Carly frowned. "Hey! I'm your big sister, I know when something's up. And if it's your health, mom and dad need to know", she growled.
"It's not my health, sis...! It's..a girl transferred to my class today...", Makoto finally said. Carly blinked, and she then grinned.
"Ooooohh...a girl? Ohhh I see now! My baby brother has a crush!", Carly teased, as Makoto rolled his eyes, only turning redder.
"Shuddup! It's none of your business", he grumbled. "You're as red as a tomato! Is she cute? What's her name?", Carly asked.
"Kayo Hinazuki...", Makoto answered. "She's Japanese?", asked Carly. Makoto nodded. "She's...adorable", he muttered, hiding his face a little bit.
"She's really pretty, and really shy...", he added, flustered. Carly beamed. "My little brother has a crush! I don't believe it!", she giggled.
The siblings soon arrived home.
"We're home", Carly said, grinning while Makoto remained flushed. "Welcome home...Makoto? You look really red, son", Eren commented as Mikasa looked over.
"Makoto met a giiirl!", Carly blurted out then. Makoto turned even redder. "SIS! What the hell?!", he growled. "That's payback, mister!", Carly said.
"A girl?", Eren blinked, while Mikasa beamed. "Ohhhh my god! Really? Already, Makoto?", she asked excitedly.
"She's a transfer student from Japan...her name is Kayo", Makoto answered, looking down. "That's so cute! What's she like, buddy?", asked Mikasa.
"She's very quiet, and shy...she actually reminds me a bit of you mom, I mean...how you described you were at that age", admitted Makoto.
"Really?", Eren looked a bit concerned then. "Does she have parents?", asked Mikasa. "She mentioned her mom works a lot, but that was all..", Makoto bit his lip.
"I could tell she's out of her element...she kept speaking Japanese at random", he added. Mikasa's eyes softened. "I did that a lot too when I was little, your dad taught me English", Mikasa smiled softly.
"So if you want buddy, you could teach her if she wants", Eren said. Makoto smiled. "I will! Sis..um, can you help me out?", Makoto asked.
"Makoto, I'm busy with Emily and Arashi at high school. I told you to not fall behind in your studies because I wouldn't be able to help you", Carly said.
"But...", Makoto whined. "Don't worry sweetie, I'll help you out a bit. Your sister's too busy with her own studies", Mikasa came over.
"Thanks mom", Makoto looked relieved to hear this.
That night, Eren and Mikasa were cuddled in bed. Makoto was asleep in his own room, Titan sleeping at the bottom of the bed.
Akane was fast asleep in her room, cuddling her teddy bear. Mittens was asleep on the window seat in Carly's bedroom. Carly was the only one in the house awake.
She was on her laptop in bed, on Skype with Arashi. But they were doing a little bit more than talking. Carly was just in her black top, as she slowly unbuttoned it, her webcam on.
Because Eren watched like a hawk, physical sex was a bit impossible until college. So Arashi and Carly took to the internet, and had a lot of late nights on skype.
Arashi was blushing as he watched his girlfriend unbutton her top slowly. "Are you sure everyone's asleep?", he asked softly.
"Yes...positive", Carly answered, revealing her black bra. She blushed a bit more, seeing Arashi's expression.
"You act like you haven't seen this before...", she whispered, blushing. Arashi smiled, looking down for a second.
"It never gets old, sweetie...", he replied simply. Carly bit her lip, blushing more. She ran a hand through her hair, leaning back.
"And...if you were here...if dad didn't use his security system to detect you...what would you do to me?", she asked, in a very suggestive tone.
Arashi blushed. "First I'd kiss you of course, baby...and lay you back on the bed, squeezing your breasts. I'd kiss your neck, moving my hand down between your legs...", Arashi began.
Carly's body tensed, feeling herself already grow wet as she closed her eyes. Her breathing went labored as Arashi continued talking to her like that, as she released small quiet moans, touching herself already.
When her moaning got slightly loud, Arashi felt himself grow hard. "Carla...sweetie, shhhh, we don't want your parents hearing...", he shushed her gently.
Carly whimpered, biting her lip. "It's impossible to stay quiet...with you talking to me like that...fuuck...", she bit her pillow case, muffling a moan, already growing close.
After going like this for a while, her moans got more vocal, as she clutched her bedsheets, her legs stretching a bit.
In Eren and Mikasa's room, Eren was asleep, snoring. Mikasa opened her eyes, hearing her daughter. She sighed softly...she couldn't get mad.
Her and Eren did the same stuff at that age. Plus she knew it was on Skype since she didn't hear Arashi, and knew her daughter wore headphones.
She also highly respected her daughter's privacy. But she knew if Eren heard, there would be hell to pay.
She turned onto her side, grabbing the earplugs. She plugged Eren's ears, and then her own, hoping it didn't wake Makoto or Akane.
Back in Carly's room, she had reached her climax, gasping for air. Arashi was out of breath too. "Did anyone hear...?", he asked breathlessly.
"I don't think so...", replied Carly weakly, blushing.
By the next morning, Carly dropped Makoto off to his school, and walked to her own. "Hey Carly!", Emily waved, standing with Arashi, waiting.
"Hey!", Carly ran over. She and Arashi both blushed, remembering last night. They then kissed deeply. Carly wrapped her arms around Arashi's neck, as he deepened the kiss, stroking her long hair.
Emily starred. "Thank you for last night...", Carly whispered, gazing into his eyes. "Thank YOU", Arashi said, grinning.
Emily's eyes widened. "Ooooh, did you two finally get laid?", she teased. Carly and Arashi both blushed hard.
"No..I mean...does Skype count?", asked Carly, turning redder as the trio began walking to school. Emily giggled.
"Only counts if you had an orgasm", she said. Carly turned even redder, looking away. "Oooh, you go girl!", Emily nudged her friend.
"It's a miracle her parents didn't hear", admitted Arashi, blushing. "Headphones, they're a beautiful invention", Emily stated.
"I think Mom knows, she's too smart. But I also know she respects our privacy. I think she's plugging dad's ears at night", Carly admitted.
Emily sighed. "You got such a cool mom, Carly! Seriously, Mikasa is more like your big sister than your mom! You can talk about such personal things with her, and she even lets you skype sex with your boyfriend! My mom freaks out if I make a mild sex joke", she said.
"Mom's always been very chill...sure she has some rules, and reasonable ones, but...I really am lucky to have her", Carly smiled softly.
Eren and Mikasa's rules for Carly included be home by 9 on week nights, and by 11 on weekends, and only tell them where she'll be, keep her phone with her at all times, and absolutely no sex in the house with Arashi.
Well, Mikasa's rule was no sex in the house, but Eren's rule was no sex at all until college. Mikasa was much more bendable on rules than Eren when it came to certain things.
A part of that was to do with the fact she wanted to be very much like her own late mother. Akane Ackerman was similar, she bended the rules often since she cherished Mikasa so much.
But at the same time she didn't let Mikasa get away with anything bad though. In other words, like her mother, Mikasa wasn't a strict parent. But she still enforced the rules when needed.
Makoto hurried into school with Akane. "Makoto, I really need the TV tonight! It's a Scooby doo movie marathon! Daddy promised to record it for me!", Akane told him.
"Okay, okay! But I get the TV tomorrow night, they're airing Godzilla films", Makoto replied. "You have all the movies on DVD though", Akane stated.
"Four were destroyed during your last temper tantrum, remember?", Makoto frowned. Akane looked embarrassed.
"Ah, the bell's ringing! See you later, big brother!", Akane waved, quickly escaping. Makoto sighed. Of course his parents were going to buy him new copies, but hadn't had a moment too.
He blinked then, seeing Kayo walking down the corridor.
"Kayo!", he waved, but she didn't appear to hear him. Her eyes seemed to be somewhere else. She hadn't even taken her bag off.
Makoto grew even more confused, seeing her enter the room with the Indoor pool.
"Does she was swim class this early?", Makoto wondered. He hadn't heard of any swim classes being this early...especially in the winter.
He put his bag in his locker, and hurried over. He entered the room. "Kayo?", he looked across the large Olympic sized swimming pool.
The water was most likely pretty cold, and the room was completely empty. Except for Kayo, who stood all the way on the other side of the large room.
She was over by the deep end, which went 30 feet deep, with a high diving board. She was starring down at the cold water.
"Kayo...!", Makoto called over to her again, but she ignored him. Makoto blinked, not understanding, when suddenly Kayo's body seemed to go limp.
Like she let it go limp on purpose, and she fell into the deep end. Makoto froze, his eyes widening..and noticed she wasn't coming back up.
"KAYO!", Makoto sprinted across the large room, over to where she fell in. His heart sunk, he could see her body sinking down to the bottom, her eyes closed.
She wasn't even attempting to swim back up. Makoto kicked his shoes off, and dived in after her, water splashing as both children disappeared under the water.
