Everyone was busy with their small groups. The school was large and there was a lot to be found out. Togami was examining the stairs to the highest floor, beginning to climb them, Touko following close behind. They finally reached the top, and it was a rooftop garden. Despite the despair and tension in the air, it was actually very pretty up in the garden. Touko glanced up at Togami, seeing that his face was still flat and slightly frustrated. He began to walk into the garden, looking left and right for signs of anyone. It looked clear, so he stepped in further. Touko was so close behind him, she accidentally stepped on the heel of his shoe. She grabbed both of her long braids and clutched them tightly, her face worried and scared.
"M-My apologies Byakuya-Sama! It won't happen again!" She said, a bead of sweat slipping down her forehead. He sighed and turned around to look her up and down.
"Calm down." He said, pulling his sleeve over his hand and wiping the sweat off her face. She blushed furiously, her entire body shaking.
"I-I-I'm.." She choked over her words and stared up at Togami. He changed his voice to make it a bit more stern.
"Fukawa." He narrowed his eyes, his hand still on her forehead. "Calm down." He removed his hand and turned away, beginning to walk up to some bushes and bundles of flowers. Touko stood there, unable to move or speak. Her cheeks were cherry red and her body was shaking furiously. Togami's touch, his voice, his eyes. It was to much for her to handle. She wanted to go and help him, but she was practically paralyzed. Was this his way of paying her back for touching him in the hallways? He could barely move then. He must have wanted her to feel how he felt at that time. The time she "slapped" him. It had definitely worked. All she could do was stand there and watch him search for secrets and clues. That's clever Togami, very clever.
