The house was quiet as Mayu sat on her bed, the odd book in her lap a hand on it stroking the cover as if trying to determine its texture. Mrs Yui had no idea what to say to her, all she could say was it would be best to return it to Seiko. Even so that was a hard decision... After all it could be dangerous.. she hugged it to her chest brows furrowed in worry.
Flopping down Mayu nuzzled her nose into the books cover deep in thought. Suddenly.. the book began to burn throwing Mayu out of though as she tossed the book in fear. It laid, now open on the floor, the pages flipped to a clean one and laid motionless daring Mayu to investigate.
She was.. scared at first.. but eventually she walked over and kneeled down in front of it. Unsure of what to do , she followed her instinct. "Hello..?", the silence hung like a thick blanket as anticipation bathed her.
She stared at the pages waiting in fear and curiosity. She screamed slightly as she felt a hand on her shoulder. Turning around she saw a girl wearing a black dress with short black hair and black eyes. Mayu scrambled back pale pressing her back against the wall.
Her mother burst in looking at Mayu, "Are you alright Mayu? I heard you scream is everything alright?" She asked worried not even seeming to notice the small girl standing in the room. Mayu regained her composure nodding slowly. Her mother reluctantly looked at her child and nodded, "If you say so.." without further word she left Mayu alone with the girl.
Mayu looked up calmly biting her lip. "Who are you..?". The girl looked at her calmly, "Niko Shinozaki.", Mayu looked a bit puzzled before recognizing her friends name, she looked around and picked up the book, "Is this your book..?".
Niko nodded a pained look in her eyes, it is. Mayu nodded sitting down more comfortably , "Do you mind.. if I ask you some questions..?". The girl shook her head calmly. Mayu nodded thinking of what to ask as the girl stared at her watching her every movement.
