kinji approached the figure lying down on the grass. he blinked in silence as he saw ayame sleeping peacefully as if it wasn't cold outside, with only her uniform jacket draped over her legs.

even as kinji knocked on her forehead as if it was a door, she snored in her sleep, no sign of waking up. had it not been for her snoring, one might've thought she's dead. she wasn't, at least not yet.

which made him raise a brow. usually she'd wake up from just the call of her name,yet here she was as dead as a rock. kinji sat down beside her, contemplating how to wake her up.

before he could do anything any further, his eyes caught a pulsing glow.

the flower mark on her forehead.

he took a closer look, and sure enough the mark had a faint glow that followed the rhythm of her breathing. inhale, and it glew, and exhale did it die down. he figured it was just something to do with her technique and didn't bother to continue trying to wake her up.

thankfully it didn't take long though as in the next minute, she jolted awake. ayame sat up on the ground, before her body shrunk from the sudden blood rush. her vision darkened for a moment, and kinji took this chance to speak.

"you sure do sleep like a corpse." ayame whipped her head to her left, and kinji held back a laugh. it didn't take a long time for her shocked face to shift into a face which seemed as if she just caught a pervert in the act of peeping. kinji waved his hand. "i just got here and no, i didn't stare at you in your sleep. you think you're worth all that?"

ah, hakari kinji. always making sure she felt humbled. then again, she was the one who chose to sleep in such an open place. she fought the urge to cackle at his words, and slapped on a poker face.

as ayame shrugged on her uniform jacket, she asked,"you need me for something?"

"yeah." he said. "sora's awake."

-

to say ayame walked to shouko's office in a calm and orderly manner was a blatant lie.

she almost, almost bolted through the hallways like she'd always do when training with yasuhiro, hell she might've even almost naruto ran. but a maiden must still her composure, tranquil as undisturbed water.

...

yeah, as if.

ayame huffed from her sprint as she approached the door. she was about to enter, but a blob of white in the corner of her eye caught her attention.

"mew?"

a pair of red eyes stared up into brown ones, and ayame faltered. at the same time, kinji who was right behind ayame skidded to a stop as he almost collided into her.

"sashimi!" ayame visibly brightened as she brought the snow white cat into her arms. kinji raised a brow and was about to nudge her to go in. upon seeing sashimi though, he silently joined ayame in patting the cat. the two crouched there for a while, giving all of their attention to the cat.

it wasn't until kinji finally snapped out of it that they both entered the room (with him dragging ayame by the elbow). sashimi was set down back onto the ground but it followed the two first years into the room, its white tail swaying gently back and forth.

ayame's eyes landed on another familiar pair, and her breath hitched.

that's -

that's - !
