"ARE YOU SURE CIVILIZATION IS GOING TO WORK? KUGA." KIARA MET MIWAS ANGRY GAZE AGAIN AS SHE BACKED AWAY NEXT TO THE OTHER NEIGHBOR. He must have thought his gaze was going to make her flinch or something but was met with her unamused stare. "I say throw them to the sharks," Crossing her arms. "I'm sure they'd like new friends." She said condescendingly.

"Ishioka, if we do that we'd never know the real deal as to why they're after us." That got a grumble from the girl. "Don't you want to know?" The girl pursed her lips, it was a clear view specifically.

"Because we're Neighbors." She gave the boy an obvious look. "There's no other reason." Yuma pursed his lips before looking back at Miwa who did not falter his harsh gaze. His teeth bared.

"Oh, put them away." Kiara rolled her eyes. "Anyway we should go now, I can't stand the feeble sight in front of me." With that she turned away, and began to jump up the train railing.

When she made it up top she ended up bumping right into a man with combed brown hair and blue eyes. He wore a pair of turquoise tinted goggles that were laying on his hair. What had her conscious was the playful and roguish look he had when they met eyes. Even though he had a casual demeanor, Kiara felt like he was staring deep into her soul, aware. For the first time in a while she felt unnerved.

However, that was thrown out the window when she heard him speak. "Ooh! You are even prettier up close." He gave her a cheeky grin but was met with a bemused look from her instead. He chuckled. "Tough crowd."

Kiara blinked when she saw somebody familiar behind him and that's when her body turned cold. Shit, this is not my day. And he seemed to have realized it as well because he only gave her an unfriendly look in return and then ignored her. Narasaka was always reserved and kind of grumpy but this was a different level of it than before and targeted towards her specifically. She clenched her fist. Jin seemed to have noticed, he had a small smile on his face before clearing the air as a whole.

"So they've really done it this time!" He said with a grin.

That's when Yuma realized and blinked curiously. "Oh! Jin-san!" That had Kiara putting the pieces together.

So this was Jin. The benefactor (?) or the resource for both Yuma and Osamu. From what she heard he seemed to be an in demand topic among Border.

Jin as laidback as ever, asked. "So were you guys careless while fighting them?" He addressed both of them but Kiara didn't respond. She seemed to still be studying him. That caused his mouth to twitch in amusement. She then blinked because it seemed like she was checking him out, which was the opposite of.

Yuma shrugged. "No, it's just they were really hard to deal with." He then looked at Kiara. "Ishioka looked like she was having a blast though." That caused the teenage girl to huff, but she was a little conscious of the stares.

"It was a life or death situation, I wasn't going to take precautions." She defended, which earned her an amused look from both Yuma and Jin. They all heard a groan and saw it was Yoneya who was still on the ground, the effects from her Black Trigger still kicking in.

"I'll say." He croaked, but he chuckled a bit. "Like damn lady, did you play excessive sports in a previous life or something?" He only got a shrug of a response from her.

"At least you took the hit well more than most." Yoneya grinned weakly at that.

"Just barely." Even though he and Miwa got their asses kicked, it was quite amusing getting to fight stronger opponents which he didn't get to everyday. At least opponents from a different world entirely, the Neighbors were beings entirely contrasts to them. Which made this whole situation more exciting to him anyway.
