After a major accident in Paris caused by herself, she's now never allowed to return home and gets sent to Japan instead.
Become a hero and protect her loved one was the only goal. No distractions. Period.
Though, somehow, she very very slowly gain...
Kivi takes her two panthers on their nightly walk and heads to the park where Shinso awaits.
He doesn't look at her as she sits down. Unusual, he would typically glance in her direction.
"Hey, Hitochan." No response. "Jee, no 'hello Kivi' tonight?" Kivi asks, glancing at him but he keeps his head turned. "Wow, who pissed in your cereal this morning?"
"Hey, Kivi," he grunts.
"That's better." Kivi sighs and leans her head on his shoulder. She feels him visibly flinch and immediately sits back up straight. She gives him a harsh glare, grabbing his arm not so gently.
"Ow! Dammit that fucking hurts!" he barks, yanking his arm away from her grasp and turning to her with a glare. His hand runs through his hair, stopping to clutch at the back of his neck for a few seconds before dropping it into his lap. "You happy?"

Kivi's eyes turn dark at seeing the state he's in. "Why the fuck would I be happy? Why did you hide the fact that you're this injured? How long have you been hiding this? Why didn't you get grandma to heal you?"
"Cause I knew you'd fuss over it. It happened after school was out on my way back to meet curfew, so she was likely asleep by then."
"Why are you sitting here instead of cleaning yourself up? ...Who did this to you?"
"It doesn't matter, what happened happened."
"Cut the shit and tell me what happened?!" she shouts.
"Why do you care?!" he shouts back.
She flicks his forehead. "Because I care about you, dumbass. You're one of my friends which means you're mine. I'm not gonna let something that's mine get hurt."
His eyes dart back and forth between her own and sighs. "I was jumped by a gang wanting money on my way back from the city after school today. It's fine. It's not that bad."
"Fine." She angrily grabs the bottom of his shirt and begins to pull upward.
He quickly grabs her wrist to prevent her from doing that. "What the hell are you doing?!"
She uses her other hand and slaps his away, yanking up his shirt to his torso. Her eyes widen at all the bruising and open cuts. "Not that bad?! Are you looking at it?! Hitoshi!"
He swats her hand away and pulls his shirt back down in a huff.
She gently places her hands on his chest moving them all over his torso.
"What are you doing? Stop!"
She glares at him, freezing him from stopping her. "Shut up. I've only done this once before and I need to concentrate." She closes her eyes and runs her hands across his arms, up his neck, and cups his cheeks. From the trees around them, Shinso could visibly see a purple like mist being sucked into Kivi. "This will either work or it won't."
