Chapter 7

Shiro-"Girl"

After the opening ceremony Maki-sempai came over and talked to Shiro. Then she invited him out to get something to eat. Now they are walking to a café that is down the street from the school. Shiro had never really met a girl who was so straightforward. And since when would a sophomore take interest in a freshman. This was interesting and there was something kind of funny about Maki-sempai and Shiro wanted to find out.

"Shiro-kun is something the matter?"

Shiro broke out of his trance and notice Maki-sempai staring up at him.

"No Maki-sempai I'm fine."

"Well you almost walked into a pole."

"I was just thinking about something."

"Were you wondering why I asked you to come here?"

"How did she know?" thought Shiro

"Because if you were wondering I just wanted to talk to you, you seem rather smart." Maki-sempai then started to look at the ground as if in thought, then she looked up and said,

"Well it looks like we're here."

Shiro and Maki-sempai walked into the little café. It was a small quiet place with about seven tables most of them only had to chairs near them. It was a rather quiet and enjoyable place. Shiro still wondered why Maki-sempai asked him to come here with her. Is it true that she only wanted to get to know him or was it something else.

When Shiro and Maki-sempai were seated in a table near the far back of the café Shiro couldn't help but stare at the way Maki-sempai was sitting. It was so odd her knees were huddled near her chin and this made her sit in a sort of squatting position. It was a rather strange sight.

"Maki-sempai if you don't mind me asking why do you sit like that?' asked Shiro

"My reasoning ability decreases when I don't sit like this. Is it a problem?"

"Uh no it's not Maki-sempai."

"You know you shouldn't over use my name, it will eventually get annoying."

"Oh uh sorry."

"Anyway there was something I wanted to talk to you about." Mentioned Maki-sempai

"What is that?"

Maki-sempai looked around then turned to Shiro.

"What do you think about the Kira case?"

Why would she bring up the Kira case? Did Maki-sempai have a connection to the kira case or did she just take interest in it. What was with this girl?
