Love In Borderland Niragi x OC x Chishiya

Namika and Shuntaro

Kagami followed Chishiya at a short distance towards his room. He apparently had a stash of medical gear in there that he wanted to use on her wound. Normally she would have said something, anything to break the silence between them, but her mind was too busy trying to come to terms with the ghost she had seen and what he had said. Her mind was also filled with thoughts and memories of Niragi in his teenage years and how much she wished that she did more for him.

As they entered Chishiya's room, he didn't say a word and instead just gestured for her to sit down on the couch that was still made up as a bed from the night before. Kagami did as she was told and watched as Chishiya opened the doors to the wardrobe and pulled out a first aid kit.

"So, are you going to tell me how you got that cut? I'm assuming Last Boss but I feel like there is more to the story." He mused, placing the kit onto the bed and opening it to pull out some antibiotic cream and a small water proof plaster.

"Nope." Kagami answered, her words coming out in a small, tired tone. Chishiya's eyes lingered on her face for only a moment before he approached her with the tube of antibiotic cream in hand and sat next to her.

"I thought we were supposed to trust each other." Chishiya responded simply and Kagami couldn't help but jump slightly at the cold cream that Chishiya gently rubbed against the cut.

"I said we were friends... I don't recall saying I trust you..." Kagami mumbled her words somewhat a lie. She did trust Chishiya. She was just too stubborn to admit it. "Anyway, you'd think I've lost my mind if I told you what happened. I'm pretty sure Aguni and Niragi think that..." She added, trying her best to ignore Chishiya's eyes on her and focus on looking ahead of her.

"Aright, fine. You don't have to tell me." Chishiya sighed as he pressed the plaster bandage against her neck to cover the small wound. "Make sure you change that everyday and keep it clean. You can come into my room to collect the first aid kit whenever you wish." Chishiya rose to his feet and walked back over to the kit that he placed back into the cupboard. Kagami watched him in silence, her eyes examining every part of him. He was just her friend and that was it. Almost as if he could feel her eyes on him, Chishiya turned his head to look at her, "What's wrong, Kagami?"

"Don't call me that." Kagami whispered back leaning forward to rest her elbows on her knees and rest her hands under her chin. After the meeting, the sound of her family name made her want to throw up. Chishiya watched her quietly for just a moment before he moved towards her.

"What should I call you then?" Chishiya asked. He was standing directly in front of her now, but Kagami kept her eyes locked onto Chishiya's shoes instead. "I have to call you something." Chishiya added, moving onto his knees so that they were face to face. This time, Kagami had no choice but to look at him.

"Call me Namika." She said softly and Chishiya gave her a short nod in response.

"Okay, Namika. Do you want to call me Shuntaro?" He then asked and once again, Kagami couldn't help but avert her gaze. She didn't like being this close to Chishiya. As Kagami found herself staring at nothing, her mind racing, she barely noticed that she had begun to bounce her left leg. It wasn't until Chishiya placed his hand on top of her knee that was pulled herself back into reality. Kagami's eyes shot back onto the blonde and she immediately sat back against the couch as she felt Chishiya's touch.

"Yeah, well, if you're going to call me Namika, it only makes sense for me to call you Shuntaro." She said, running both of her hands through her long, somewhat tangled black hair as she spoke. Saying Chishiya's given name sounded quite strange and she couldn't help but think about how pissed Niragi would be if he heard her say it. Going by given names meant that they were close and for some reason that seemed to add to the growing anxiety that was building within Kagami.
