Homra's Red Queen (K project)

chapter 4

I do not own K project   

      Mikoto's pov 

    We were now back at the bar. Shizuka was taking a shower, Seri left a while ago telling us to treat her right, Totsuka was "attempting" to make dinner while Izumo watched Tv. 

     "hey, we have school tomorrow, huh." Izumo said. we all stoppped. Even Totsuka who was coming out of the kitchen.

     "You're right. What are we going to do?" he showed a small sad smile. 

     "We could call in sick." Izumo suggested.

      "Won't they get suspicious if all of us called in sick?" Totsuka asked. Izumo sighed,"Well, we can't leave her here. If she's as powerful as that man said, no doubt the strain facilities will come looking for her." 'He's right, they all would.' I thought as I listened to their conversation. 

        "You can leave for school. I don't mind." a quite voice sounded behind me. We jumped at the sound of it and where it was located. Shizuka was standing there with her Pjs and a towel drying her hair. Or, at least she was trying to. 

       "Shizuka, how long have you been there?" Totsuka asked. 

       "Since you said,' you're right'." her voice was monotone and soft, as if she didn't care. Izumo looked at her,'Eh? You sure?" She nodded. 

        "Okay. Anyways, time for dinner. We are eating curry and rice. Want some?" Totsuka laughed. Shizuka nodded again and walked to the bar. We all learned a few things about her today. First thing- she does not eat a lot, second thing- the girl was very quite with little to no emotion. Third thing- she was very childlike in some ways, and fourth thing- she has a mean glare. A poor man learned how hard her glares were when he called her a midget. The dude was practically sweating when she walked away. 

        "Okay, I'll give you a lot since you are underweight." Totsuka breaks my train of thoughts as he hands Shizuka a plate with half of it curry, the other half was rice. At least it was a tint plate, not as big as ours.  

       "Totsuka, I am not sure you can call that a lot." Totsuka smiled at Izumo,"For her it is." He gives her a spoon before sitting next to Izumo. 

       "Itadakimasu." Izumo and Totsuka cheered. Shizuka just put her hands together while I ate. I took a spoonful of curry and stuffed it in my mouth. Shizuka grasped the spoon with rice and curry on it. She placed it in her mouth and started to chew. She stopped for a bit, but continued. 

      'She eats like a child almost.' I thought as i watched her get another spoonful of the food. She held it like an adult, but she approached like a child would. Izumo and  Totsuka were watching her with smiles as they continued to eat. 

    Shizuka's pov 

   When I couldn't eat anymore, I hopped off the stool and ran to the stairs. When I got half way up, I remembered something. Running back down I stopped on the last step and bowed whispering goodnight. They said goodnight back and I ran back up the stairs listening to their conversation. 

   When I was up in my room, I hopped onto my twin sized bed with the oversized blanket underneath me. The bags from Seri's shopping spree were still near the door. I had a mirror in my room with a stand connected to it. It had two drawers on each side and a chair. There was dresser with three drawers and a closet right next to it. Izumo said that the mirror was always there along with the dresser. Lastly, there was a window. The room was average sized, which was okay because i doubt I will grow any taller. What a sad fact that was. 

     "She didn't eat that much." I heard Totsuka's concerned voice. 

     "She only ate half of it." 

     "I still don't want to leave her here alone." I zumo said. 

     "Me neither, but she said it was okay." Totsuka was probably smiling. I grabbed the pillow and hugged it. I didn't want them to leave, but it can't be helped. I felt myself drift to sleep, the last thing i heard was the bell on the front door. 

   Mikoto's pov 

  I was on my way upstairs. Izumo and Totsuka left a couple of minuted ago. I was headed towards Shizuka's room. I opened her door expecting her to be awake, but was greeted by her sleeping form. I walked over to her bed and looked down at her. She looked so fragile. Her legs were curled into her chest while her arms held a pillow. Her black hair was scattered across the bed. Sighing, I grabbed the covers and draped them over her. It looked extremely thick for Shizuka. I watched as she nuzzled closer in the blanket. I felt a smile tug at the corner of lips as I walked out.  

   'Wonder how long she was there? Obviously a long time. The girl didn't even know what the hell pizza was.' I  thought as I looked at the clocl. It read 12:46. We picked her up at 11 o'clock am. 13 hours she had been with us. 'I really don't want to leave her here alone, buit she said it was okay. I could always make her a clansmen, or just protect her myself.' I thought. My eyelids started to grow heavy as sleep started to overwelm me. 'I'll think about it later.' I thought as I put on my Pjs and fell on my bed.
