3rd POV
"Saito!"
The orange haired supervisor called out to the small girl, "Where were you yesterday...I. Inori could've used your help."
"My apologies sir." She said with a deep bow, "My meeting with the Warden took longer than expected."
The monkey stood, without words. There really wasn't anything else to say...unless he wanted to question their meeting. Then again it's not his place to ask about the Warden's private business.
"Well, suppose that is a valid excuse. You still need to train a match with no. 2." Samon seemed torn for a few short lived seconds. "You can do it after breakfast, for now help me escort the inmates to the cafeteria."
"Yes sir!"
Akia Saito POV
I nearly forgot I had to train with number 2.
It could be an issue if I try too hard but I don't need to look like I'm not trying. I can't chicken out... but I don't have any kind of reputation... though this fight could earn me one. But would it be good or bad?
"Hey! Your the one I'm supposed to train with today aren't you? The rookie." A male with a long braid spilt in two stepped in front of me, bringing my mindless walk to a pause.
"Inmate Number two?" I looked at him, eyes open wide due to him coming out of no where.
"Yes-"
"Aren't you supposed to be in you cell?" He stared at me with confusion.
"You unlocked our cell ten minutes ago and told us to follow you. We're heading to the cafeteria now."
"Uh-oh! Ahh, many apologies! My head doesn't seem to be attached to my neck today!"
"Anyway, don't feel obligated to train with me today. I don't want to accidentally hurt you, especially if you aren't well and focused."
What does he think I am, a china doll?
"I appreciate your concern even if it's just due to me being the opposite sex, but I don't need you worrying about it, especially because of my gender. I know I'm not obligated to abide with you and I don't feel that I am either. So, shut up and fall in line!"
All three inmates formed a straight line behind me. Soon enough the hallway was once again left in a blanket like silence, almost sickening. No worse than being vexed by captured criminals. It's only a matter of time. Things will change eventually, better or worse? I don't know. I can only keep up my part in this plan. The only way I can keep my neck, and him.
No. 2 POV
It's ridiculous that we all got scared into a straight line over a big attitude packed in such a small girl. She can't be any larger that a bug. I respect her bravery and strength. I haven't seen any other women here so she must be strong to have made it. Just how did she qualify to get in. Scores must've been pretty outstanding. Even then, expectations were probably lower due to her size and gender.
We were in complete silence until we arrived at the cafeteria. She verbally dismissed us to the line before taking her leave. We all let out a breath we didn't realize we were holding when she turned away.
Words immediately spilled from our mouths about what happened on the way here. Talk about the way her eyes changed their color, how random it was, and how she quickly recovered and continued brainlessly walking the building is in tow.
I didn't expect such an out burst from such a little thing who always seemed to act so innocent and nice. None of us did. I fear that training with her now will increase this attitude and cause her to more head-on. Not to mention a bit awkward.
Akia Saito POV
I couldn't make out most of their incoherent mumbles other than a few mentions of my temper, size, and eye color. I can't allow these slip ups to occur often, it could get me expose me if it happens in front of my supervisors. I'll have to mange, even if it requires contact lenses because I can't keep my temper.
"Excuse me ma'am! You must be the new guard I'm Rokuriki, the guards table is over here, follow me."
Daisen Rokuriki one of three of the Daisen brothers who work in building five. I smile and bow before proceeding to follow him the the far left corner of the large room.
I sat down across from my deputy supervisor, Inori. Aside from him there were the three
brothers and a few unimportant, unnamed guards. Samon was absent from the table, an empty seat left for him incase he decided to show up.
Which he never did...
