"Can I call you Toko-chan?"

"I would prefer if you didn't, but do what suits you."

"Okay, Toko-chan."

Tokoyami rolled his eyes.

The clouds still loomed above them, threatening to pour rain down any second.

They walked together to school. Kitsune put her headphones on and hummed along as she walked, while Tokoyami walked in silence with his hands in his pockets.

"Who's the pretty girl?"

Sero Hanta walked up behind him, grinning his dorky smile as usual. He pointed at Kitsune.

"My new friend I just made this morning. Her name is Kousaki."

"Isn't that the one you had to take home yesterday?"

"Indeed."

Sero put his hands on his hips. "I didn't know you were the friend-making type."

"I'm not. But she's different", Tokoyami said, watching Kitsune.

"Different? What do you mean?"

Tokoyami shook his head, "I can't explain it. But she's just different. She's so... odd."

Sero looked at her. "She looks like a normal cute girl to me."

"Trust me, she is not. There's something off."

The taller boy shrugged. "Whatever you say man. You ready for the rescue training again today? We'll be the victims this time."

Tokoyami looked at Kitsune and her little arms. Could she be able to do it?

Wait.

Why was he so concerned over it??

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Bye, Toko-chan!", Kitsune waved at him as she walked to class. He gave her a small nod.

She pressed her hands against her face.

His request to be her friend threw her off. She honestly thought she annoyed him.

But at least now she can see Dark Shadow more. It was the friendliest demon she's ever met. And she's met a lot.

Kitsune caught sight of her classmate, Tsunotori. The little blond was talking to Monoma.

She fluttered up to her and greeted them.

"Aah, Kousaki", Monoma said.

Kitsune braced herself.

"Are you feeling better?", he asked. Concern showed in his violet eyes. "Everyone was really worried about you yesterday."

"Really?"

Tsunotori nodded. "You passed out on your first day? Why wouldn't we be worried?"

Kitsune was overcome with joy. She was so worried they were going to ridicule her like the kids in America did.

"Awe thanks guys", she said, "You're too sweet. And yeah I'm feeling much better."

Monoma twirled on his heels and led the girls to class.

Tsunotori asked Kitsune why she was later than the day before.

"Oh, I made a friend."

"Really? Who?"

"Tokoyami from class A."

Monoma stopped dead in his tracks and let out a loud "EW."

"What's wrong?", Kitsune asked him.

The blonde boy's face was full of shock and disgust. "He's class A scum,  that's why! Pompous assholes!"

Kendo came up and smacked him on the back of the head.
"She can be friends with people from other classes."

"Yeah, but not class A!"

She smacked him again.
