Kamakura stared at the book on the table, fully convinced it was a trap of some sort. There was just no way a book like that would be left out otherwise, not unless it was a real and true accident.

The book in question was a small and dull green one, fastened shut with some string with a pen tucked under the string on one side. The really attention grabbing part was the writing on the small space on the front, which read 'Property of Kimi, No Reading!'.

He gulped and reminded himself it had to be a trap, forcing his hands to stay at his sides even though he could already feel the temptation growing in the back of his mind. Having a younger sister, he knew what a diary looked like and there was little doubt in his mind that that was what the book was.

But why would Jinx leave that out in the open like this? It had to be a trap! A test of some sort, at the least! But a test of what? To see how far he'd go to get information? If he respected her privacy?

Which of course, he knew he had boundaries and that this would be an invasion of her privacy but the temptation was so great...

So caught up was he in that mental dilemma, that he didn't notice Jinx herself as she walked by and smoothly took the book off the table, hiding it in her uniform easily. The faint blush on her face could have been from anything, really.
