Into the Stars

[Ricia]

Shougen looked at the clock in the room before everyone left, "6:10." He said before finishing climbing up the satires.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kaishiro's eyes widened and he darted as fast as he could out the shop running all the way home without a goodbe to anyone.

 

[Ricia]

"I forgot he had a curfew." Leo said feeling a bit bad.


Taji nodded, "He should be paying attention though.."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Kaishiro has no phone... or watch," Kasu said

 

[Ricia]

"Yeah we should watch for him..." Leo said.


Taji shrugged, he didn't think it was his responsibilities.


The next day of school the teacher came in and clapped his hands, "Alright class! Today we have a new student." Mr. Enrous said out loud.


Leo looked up rather curious. Taji was still staring out the window.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kaishiro was absent from school altogether.


Victoria looked at the teached a bit sleepily.


Kasu pushed up his glasses and watched.

 

[Ricia]

"Mika Adelaide will be joining out class today." Enrous said, sweeping his hands to point to Mika, who walked into the class room dressed in a Gothic style dress and pigtails.


Leo was a bit struck for words and even Taji had looked when he heard 'Mika'.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"What .... an outft..." Victoria said

 

[Ricia]

"It is nice to meet you all. My name is Mika Adelaide." She said with a small curtsy.


She certainly talked better then yesterday.... Taji thought to himself.


Leo was still blinking, though Mika still sounded a bit emotionless.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kasu raised a brow watching her curtsey not something you saw often.

 

[Ricia]

With that, Enrous told her to go sit down. With that she did and looked to the teacher.


"Now class. I will be giving each student a year long project." Enrous said. There was a small uproar in the class but Enrous waved his hand, "each teacher agreed to put a grade for this project in every class. Each student will be paired with another and both students have to work together to complete a project that will take several months to do... it can be like.. planting a flower bed and growing it... or restoration project. You all can figure it out, I am sure." Enrous said... "Now.. here are the groups...." Slowly he read off the name, but eventually he paired Victoria and Mika together, Kasu and Leo and lastly, Taji and Kaishiro.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Since Kaishiro is absent... Taji will have to go tell him," Kasu sai softly yet politely,

 

[Ricia]

Taji stiffened then looked at Kasu to send him a glare.


"Of course, do drop by and see how he is and let him know." Enrous said with a smile, with that normal class time started.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kasu was unphased at the glare he just took out his note book to take notes.

 

[Ricia]

Taji almost pouted before looking back. After school, he proceeded to walk to Kaishiro's house.


Leo on the other hand walked with Mika and everyone else to meet and go over the list.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kaishir's house was nice small but cozy looking the man who answered the door looked professional like a business man "how can I help you"

 

[Ricia]

"Hi... I'm a classmate of Kaishiro. We were assigned on a project together. I am here to tell him that.. since he didn't come to school today. Sir. My name is Taji."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I see, Well Taji Kaishiro was feeling not so well today he is in his room if you wish to talk to him it's the third door down the hall. "

 

[Ricia]

"Uh.. Ok. Thanks.." Taji said. He came in and took his shoes off as well as put his bag down. he walked through the house till he got up the stares to where he said Kaishiro was and knocked on his door.

 

[InsaneTruth]

there was a pathetically soft whimmper from inside the room "Kiashiro is good.... being good,"

 

[Ricia]

"Kaishiro? It's Taji..." He said, "can I come in?" He didn't really think much of it since Kaishiro said all the time he was going to be good.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Taji can come in," Kaishiro said

 

[Ricia]

Taji opened the door and then closed it behind him before turning to look at Kaishiro, "Hey... are you ok?"

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kaishiro's face was tear stained and he was almost hidden under blankets "kaishiro is good.... KAishiro isn't bad," he said almost pathetically. He closed his eyes and covered his hair.

 

[Ricia]

"I.. don't think your bad...." Taji rubbed the back of his head. He didn't know how to handle Kaishiro like Leo seem to do effortlessly. "Should... I come back another time?" He asked.
