Sousuke Sagara. His typical self, is up at 5:00 in the morning, typing his daily reports that he must turn into his superiors aboard the Tuatha Dé Danann. Nothing is passing through his head about what bothered him last night. Sousuke's current transfixment is on his laptop screen, which he recently replaced after placing his fist through the previous one after being previously replaced by Wraith. He never took the time to replace it earlier.
Sousuke's report didn't say much. As nothing interesting happened the previous day. He finishes typing and proceeds to grab his books for school. At that, Sousuke calmly walks out of his apartment and towards the stairs. He approaches the first floor and passes through it until he reaches the main entrance to his apartment block. He waits calmly on the sidewalk. He usually meets Kaname here and walks with her to school. Checking his watch, Sousuke determines Kaname will be up shortly. He sits on a nearby bench and waits calmly.

Later...

Kaname opens one eye to sounds of voices in her apartment. She looks up. She could have sworn she heard her name! Glancing around, Kaname finds nobody. The room is completely dark except for a few rays of light behind her curtains. Wait.. Light? What time is it? Oh shit! Kaname slept in! Her alarm clock has been going off for an hour! Kaname lets a squeal escape her lungs and throttles out of her bed towards her dresser. She rips out her school uniform and sets it on her bed. She runs into the bathroom, undressing while she runs inside. Then suddenly, she screams, falling backwards. somebody is in her bathroom!

"...Who-" she stammers, trying to see who it is.

Kaname's eye twitches and she glares at the shocked man in front of her. "SOUSUKE!" She yells out. Promptly scrambling to her feet, covering her half-exposed body. Sousuke looks from the mirror towards her. "Ah. Miss Chido-" Sousuke examines her quickly. "M- MISS CHIDORI! WHY ARE YOU DRESSED LIKE THAT?"

Kaname stops glaring at Sousuke for a moment, wondering if he's serious. Her face changes form anger to confusion. Then her eye twitches again. A grin stretches across her face. "Oh.." She begins, turning around. "No reason. I figured I'd go to school like this!" She shuffles through one of her dresser drawers.

Sousuke steps out of the bathroom, watching her. "Not a good idea." He says promptly. "It is winter, after all. You'd get cold."

"Oh, I know that." Kaname purrs cheerfully. Her eyes shine as her hands latch on what she was looking for. She withdraws it.

Sousuke watches her. "What are you doi-" He stops abruptly, followed by a sharp cry and then he collapses. His body twitching uncontrollably. A probe is attached to his chest from a wire, sending intense electrical shocks through his body. Kaname smiles happily.

"Stupid pervert." She mutters, humming softly as she reloads her taser and sets it on her dresser. She then proceeds to bring her uniform with her in the bathroom. She locks the door and starts the water.

Meanwhile, Sousuke lies on her floor. He is unable to move. "D- Dammit." He mutters. "I- I'll have to report this." Then he blacks out.

Later, still.

Sousuke's eyes open. He is dazed, and attempts to get a grip on his surroundings. He sees Kaname right in front of him, staring at him with a questionable facial expression. Sousuke's first reaction is to flinch and throw his arms in front of him in a shielding motion. Kaname simply lets out a sigh. "What were you thinking?" She inquires simply.

Sousuke watches her, slowly lowering his arms. "Do you wish for me to explain myself?" He asks.
"Yes."
"Alright. Well, I was sitting outside waiting for you to come out from your apartment earlier so we could walk to school. I sat there for roughly an hour. When you never woke up, I assumed the worst and came up stairs to investigate. Your door was fairly simple to pick the lock on..."

"You..Picked the lock on my front door...?"

"Quite easily. It wasn't a problem. However, when I came inside, you were still asleep. Your alarm clock was going crazy! I tried to make it go to sleep, but it kept turning back on. I simply left it alone, thinking it would wake you up eventually. I did not want to wake you. I assumed you had stayed up late. Sleep deprivation is very hazardous. My guess was, school was the least of your concerns at the time." Sousuke continues. "I waited roughly 15 minutes. When you awoke, I was passing time by having a staring contest with myself in the mirror!"

Kaname blinks. "Wait. Lemme get this straight.. You were staring at yourself in my bathroom mirror waiting for me to wake up?"

"Correct. It's a method of entertainment we use in Mithril all the time when we're off duty. You will be surprised how fast time passes."

Kaname lets out a sigh. "I guess I can't be angry at you. You didn't mean any harm."

"Like I said.." Sousuke begins.

"BUT.." Kaname interrupts him. "If you ever pick the lock on my door again.." She shoots Sousuke an evil glare while a mischievous grin passes her.

Sousuke promptly gulps with anticipation of her next phrase. A bead of sweat rolls down his forehead. Kaname glares at him devilishly. then, suddenly, her facial expression turns into one of kindness. "I'll think of some kind of torture for you after the fact." She says, laughing loudly.

Sousuke nods. "Roger. I understand."

Kaname stands up at that moment. "Let's go to school now. It's your fault I'm going to be late."

"What? No it's not. you were an hour late to begin with." Sousuke replies defensively.

"It's not your fault that you know of.." Kaname mumbles inaudibly towards him. The two students leave Kaname's apartment and walk down the street. The current time is 7:24 AM. In reality, These two teenagers do not know what awaits them at the moment.

Later again.

Kaname and Sousuke burst through the classroom door. "Sorry I'm late!" Kaname cries. While Sousuke remains silent. She spoke indirectly for him as well. The class is full of students who watch silently. The teacher behind the desk is not Ms. Kagurazaka, in stead, a tall man with clean combed hair and rounded glasses stands. He shoots a glare towards the interrupting students.

"Well well well. Miss Chidori and Mister Sagara. So glad you could join us." He says to them with a hint of impatience in his voice. "From what I was told, I could expect being late from Sousuke, but you, Kaname? Ms. Kagurazaka's star pupil?"

Kaname promptly bows to him. "My apologies, Sir. I have no excuse for being late."

The substitute teacher points towards the chalkboard. Written on the board is "Mr. Konaharu" He nods at her. "Take your seats you two."

Kaname and Sousuke sit down, and watch the teacher.

"As you may know, My name is Mr. Konaharu. Ms. Kagurazaka is home sick today with a high fever. She could not make it today, so I will be filling in."

Whatever else said was lost to Kaname as she drowns out. She usually pays good attention in class. Today, something else steals her concentration. She turns her head ever so slightly so the outline of Sousuke Sagara enters her peripheral vision. Not so much that he's notice, but so she can be assured that her savior is sitting there.

Kaname smiles slightly, watching the teacher now. Knowing deep down inside that she is safe while that guy behind her sits in this class. Or while he follows her home every day. Or while he stares at himself in her bathroom mirror. She zones back into class and listens intently to Mr. Konaharu.

While Kaname busies herself in class, Sousuke glances around suspiciously. This new teacher could mean serious business. He just brings bad feelings to Sousuke. He scans the class for any signs of a trap. Nothing. That doesn't mean he gives up. Sousuke sifts through every possible scenario and works out a battle plan for each one that didn't involve instant death. Something about this sub didn't seem right. Sousuke is intent on finding out what.
