And I'm Home

2.

Jesse blinked at what the girl in front of him said, a name that wasn't his. He didn't even know the girl and yet in her eyes it showed loneliness and she was lost.

"My name is Jesse, Jesse Anderson. What's your name?" He asked as Kyoko blinked and shoved her hands into her pockets. "It's Kyoko, Kyoko Sakura." She said as she took out a pocky from the box.

"You're not from around here, are ya?" He asked as he bit into the treat and Kyoko responded with a nod to his question before she told him what happened but left the part out of magical girls and stuff before he thought of an idea, he helped Kyoko get to his room and showed his suitcase, it could be big enough to hide her.

"Or I could just head over to where you guys are going." She suggested before hearing someone come in side and she dove to the side and hid.

Kyoko held her breath and stayed quiet the entire time Jesse was talking to someone as the person left and Kyoko let out the breath she held back as did Jesse who noticed that Kyoko kept on staring out at the window with a saddened look on her face before looking at her holding the same blue ribbon and hair clip like she wasn't gonna let go of it, he thought back to the black ribbon she threw.

It was like she moved on from a horrible past to honor someone, Jesse felt like asking her but he knew that it would make it worse as he took his shirt off which made Kyoko blush at him before turning away.

"Put on a fucking shirt." She retorted which shocked Jesse, he usually get fangirls that claimed to be single and untouched but Kyoko was different from most girls.

Then she grabbed a pillow and leaned against a wall, which left him to sleep on the bed because there was only one in the room and sharing one with a girl seemed like a wrong message for others if they found Kyoko on the boat, the amount of pain he would receive from all.

"You rest up, I'll keep watch." Kyoko said looking at him as he turned over and closed his eyes as Kyoko pulled out her phone, which surprisingly wasn't broken as she turned it on to check what was missing, so many emails of stuff she liked reading and scrolling down to see nothing else as she marked all as read before turning the brightness down and began to read whatever she could read.

A few hours went by and Kyoko began to scroll through her messages and found unread messages from Mami and Homura as she opened the message and found some messages that contained words that were not meant for a child.

"Yikes, geez, what did they do when I was gone?" Kyoko asked herself before plugging her phone into the charger and laid back into the floor when she heard walking and kept herself low as she could as the person left and Kyoko laid back into the pillow and closed her eyes to sleep as best as she could.

She could only sleep for a bit before hearing some scratching and growling at the door which made her freeze up and hid at the side before it stopped and Kyoko didn't get much sleep that night and Jesse let her slept in noticing that she was deep asleep and refused to let go of the pillow as he got up to go to the kitchen and make a mug of coffee  before grabbing his teal rimmed reading glasses.

He gave a yawn before looking back at Kyoko and smiled before walking to the kitchen.

"Still...who is she really?" He asked himself before closing his door and walking away.
