Of course, you guys are all going like… "zOMG it's the number 59!! That's Gokudera's number!! KYAHHHHH!!!"
Actually, the fangirls, or something like that… Oh well, anyway, it is by coincidence that this scene involves Gokudera. I think scene 18 regards…uhh…mostly Soto. And 27 is more of Hibari… And if there are any more people in KHR with official numbers from one to 58, I'm not sure if it really regards them… Oh well; Enjoy~
Happy Reading, everyone, and please review when you finish~!

"Thanks…" acknowledged Kaia, before she pushed open the door of the hospital and was free once more to do what she liked. Somewhat, that is. She had a ton of homework to get into, and on top of that, she had to make her own food for her meals or go buy food at the shopping district. In her hands she clutched the glass vase of flowers Gokudera had gotten her [that was from everyone, she 'knows'] and the thick stack of make-up work from school. She endeavored to get home first, get everything organized and sorted out, then to grab some food and begin her make-up homework.
She took her time, admiring her surroundings with some interest, eyeing a few light-hearted people she saw about with longing. She walked through the park and around the corner of the shopping district, then came to a complex of apartments. Kaia opened the gate and strolled across the yard, then up the stairs to her floor. It wasn't that long of a climb, however, and Kaia soon arrived at her door. She fumbled around in her jacket pockets, looking for her keys. She took them out with an air of triumphant glory, then gladly stuck the keys in the door's key-hole, and victoriously opened the door.
And then her jaw hit the floor. Not literally just figuratively. If you don't get it, let's just say she was very, very, very surprised.
Her living room was so impossibly clean that even the carpet was shining. Every single surface was shining with polish, and the couch was fluffed up like a dog that took a bath then immediately got hair-dried.
"EHHHH?! What happened?!" Kaia squealed, as she didn't know what was going on, but she liked the fact that it was perfectly clean, aside from the fact that she couldn't find anything at all anymore, since most of her stuff magically disappeared, and what wasn't gone usually would have been found somewhere in a mess, but those things were now found in the drawers, desks, shelves, and such, where the stuff that used to be there used to occupy. She gingerly put the vase of flowers in the living room and dumped the stack of homework on the floor by the table in the living room, before making straight for the kitchen.
"Cake-cake-cake…Cookies-cookies-cookies…Ice-cream-ice-cream-ice-cream…" Kaia crazily grinned, opening cabinets at random to see if the items she was looking for would be hiding somewhere. She frowned. Nothing was there.
"EHHHH?! No food…" pouted Kaia.
Soto isn't here anymore, and Jasmine isn't either. And they've called a baby to baby-sit me. They don't want me, don't they…
Her angry gaze softened. She sighed and decided she'd cheer up if she went back to the shopping district to just get something good to eat – not grocery shopping, just snack shopping. She rapidly made for the door, grabbing her door keys and her bag, which she hoped had some money, and attacked the door. Flinging it open, she nearly ran out the door, but she bumped into and fell over someone.
"AHHH!!"
"Watch where-" began a snarl. Then came a sigh. "Would you just get off of me?!"
"S-S-Sure…" Kaia rolled over and off the person, which she realized was a male, from the voice. She stood up and glanced at the person on the ground. "Ehhh?! What're you doing here, Gokudera-san??" Kaia blinked in curiosity. "It isn't everyday that there would be a guy standing right in front of my door…" she muttered.
"I was just passing by," said Gokudera, turning his head in the direction he was going to go – down. Meanwhile, Kaia just went fumbling in her bag, apparently looking for something.
"What are you doing?" asked the Storm Guardian. Kaia looked up, frozen in shock. Gokudera had said that – actually, everything he said to Kaia so far – didn't have any aggressiveness in it, didn't have any disgust in it, it didn't have anything negative whatsoever in it.
"J-Just looking for my wallet…" Kaia stopped fumbling around with her bag. She held it in her hand at her side now, but her curious gaze continued. After a second, she lowered her gaze back to eye level. "It seems I don't have any more money…" She frowned and sighed, looking to the ground. "I wanted to go get something to eat at the shopping district, but…" Kaia turned around and stepped back past the doorway, back into her apartment. "I don't have any money." She turned around, door knob in hand, and all ready and set to wish him a good rest of the day and slam the door in his face. But she didn't. She was about to, and she nearly did it. But Gokudera saved the chance with one sentence.
"I-I'll pay," he burst. "I'll get you something then." The door was already half-closed when the hand stopped. The door inched open, and Kaia's head stuck out, a small, surprised smile on her face.
"Really…?"
"S-Sure…" muttered Gokudera, looking away. Kaia frowned.
"Why're you always looking somewhere else? Is there like a bird flying around that's bothering you?"
"No it isn't!! Just- come on, why don't you just get something before I change my mind?!" growled Gokudera. He was back to his old self, snarling, impatient, overall not very nice to anyone but Juudaime. Kaia gave him another little smile, and she joined Gokudera outside, locked the door shut, and made for the staircase. The Storm Guardian's heart skipped a beat, and he hastily followed Kaia down the stairs, to the shopping district of Namimori.
He just wished that he wouldn't bump into Juudaime on the way…
