After School: New Plans? [Private]

The day had come to an end for the students of Karakura High School, but one still remained in her class, packing up her things. She wasn't one of those people to hurry somewhere, or rush out of school like she didn't want to be there. In fact, she enjoyed school life to a certain extent. It was a lot better than being home alone, and before her parents had died, it was her place of peace and relaxation. Yes, school was a place where Kynria was able to relax. Luckily it was Friday and she didn't have work, so the rest of the day was hers to spend in any way that she wished. Unfortunately, she didn't have any really close friends, so like usual her only plans were to head home, clean, eat dinner, and then sleep only to repeat the process through out the entire weekend, MAYBE adding a book between her little routine. Anyways... once she packed up all of her school things, she picked up her bag, and turned towards the exit, waving to the teacher before she left. Kynria continued her way down the halls, until she finally came to the outside of the school. She stopped in the courtyard and looked up to the sky, just staring for a moment before she realized something and pulled a piece of paper from her pocket.

"Oh yeah..." she thought calmly as she looked at it, "I forgot... There's no food at home. I need to go shopping." Not the funnest of plans, but at least it wasn't her normal Friday routine. Kynria really did need something new in her life. Lately things were changing though. She met a girl named Minami who seemed nice. She also met a class president with a mummified younger brother, and another young man, whose name currently escaped her. She did always seem to have problems with remembering peoples names. The only one she could remember at the moment was Minami. As she walked towards the schools front gate, she tried her best to think of their names, but still they escaped her. "What were their names... I know the girl was a Class President, but... the other two... I can only remember thinking of the tall one as a Mummy being fed by his sister.... Oh no.. I hope I don't run into any of them.. at least not until I can remember there names."

Kynria had been lost in thought, trying desperately to remember the names of the people she had just had lunch with. She knew that if she heard the names a couple more times that she wouldn't have a problem remembering them, but at the moment she just could not. And of course... to her luck, one of the people that she was just trying to remember the name of called out to her. Snapping her out of her trance, she stopped in her tracks, and tensed up. Her eyes went wide and she slowly turned her head towards the person calling her. "Yeah.. It's um..." she thought to herself as the guy ran towards her, "What is his name?!" She still could not remember. He was now running towards her and her mind was completely blank! "Oh god how embarrassing..." she thought. With everything that had just went through her mind, the look on her face did not change. She still looked calm and indifferent. Her golden colored eyes shifted upwards towards the male and a soft smile formed on her face as he came towards her. Obviously she was doing her best to play it off.

"Wait..." she just realized that he had re-introduced himself when he called out her name, "Zero... God I can be so slow! Stupid, stupid, stupid!" She took in a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. She had only embarrassed herself. It's not like anyone else would know, but she still felt rather dumb. "Hello Zero." she said in a soft voice as he stopped a few feet from her. His question struck her as slightly odd. Never before had someone asked her about her plans, at least it hadn't happened any time recently. "Well... Um..." she looked away, a slight redness coming to her cheeks, "Not anything important." Not important? Ha! Yes, because eating for the rest of the month wasn't important. Kynria just lied because she felt like she'd insult him if she said otherwise, and she didn't want that to happen. She slid the piece of paper back into her pocket and stared up at him. She said nothing more, but waited for him to. She didn't know him well, so she felt slightly out of place when talking to someone like him. Being a first year and not a part of really anything like judgement or the school council, she felt sort of.. unimportant next to him.

Kynria blinked a few times at his request, finding his wording only slightly odd, but definitely got what he meant. She thought about it for a minute, glancing off to the side. "I... guess..." Kynria said softly and then nodded happily, officially deciding to go with him, "Sure. I can tag along with you for a while." Well that was completely unexpected. She didn't think that he would actually want her to go along with him on some trip about the town. She figured he'd ask about homework or notes. That seemed to be the only reason a lot of other students began talking to her. She was the quiet girl in class who always did her work, took notes, passed tests, and completed homework. That fact made people look to her when they needed help, or wanted to exploit her hard work and make her do it for them. Of course, she wasn't one to say no, even if she knew she had other things she needed to do. This situation was an obvious example of that.

"Um... If you don't mind..." Kynria got up the courage to pull out the piece of paper again, "While we are out, I am sort of... in desperate need of some groceries for home, otherwise I won't be eating very well... So after we are done with everything you need to do, do you mind.. uh.. I mean if you want... Can you help me get a little shopping done?" That was rare.. very rare. Kynria asking someone for help with something like this. In fact, she was so nervous about asking him something like that, that when she held out the piece of paper, she was trembling a bit. Usually when she asked someone to help her, she wasn't exactly replied to with a nice answer. Of course, it had been a very long time since then, almost two years, if not more. After hearing his answer, she'd put the list away and smile happily, whether his answer was a yes or not. "So... what kind of things are you needing to get done?" she asked him curiously as she turned towards the front gate of the school and began walking towards it, assuming that Zero would follow up behind her.

Kynria was rather happy to hear he was okay with adding some grocery shopping to his list of things to do. She kept a soft smile on her face. It was actually almost non-existent, but it still could be seen. It was slightly odd to know she was going to be hanging around another person for the rest of the day, let alone a guy. As the two of them stepped out of the school's perimeter, she felt something she hadn't felt before. It was a very fast rush of energy shooting outwards towards her in the manner of a small explosion. Although it was pulled back rather quickly, that did not stop someone like Kynria from feeling the effects. Immediately she lost her breath and balance, her knees becoming weak as she walked. She stumbled forward, taking in a short and quick gasp.

As it was pulled back, a few drops of sweat fell from her forehead. She had not been expecting something like that at all. She had walked out of the school grounds next to other people before, but apparently none of them were as powerful as Zero. Now kneeling down, she attempting to catch her breath. She turned her head and looked up to him, blinking a few times in shock. "You know..." she said between breaths, talking rather confidently compared to before, "You could have warned me about that... I'm not exactly Miss Powerful, so that... really... did not help." Each pause was her taking in a new breath. She pushed herself back to her feet and took in one last breath, slowly letting it out as a car pulled up.

Kynria blinked a few times, just assuming that this was what they were going to be riding in. She waited for him to say something, but he didn't, so she just followed his lead and got in on the passenger side of the car. "Um... I usually walk everywhere... It's been a while since I've been inside of a car." Kynria said as she attempted to hint at the fact that she was slightly nervous to be in this vehicle. "Well..." she said with a smile as she looked for some sort of seat belt, "I guess we should get going." Obviously not familiar with cars, she was unable to find it and just casually set her hand down on the seat, practically holding on for dear life.

"Oh, no, no, no, no...." Kynria giggled shyly and waved her hand as if it was no problem, "I remember at lunch you said you were pretty powerful, but I can't say I was expecting that. And either way, it didn't harm me... It only knocked the breath out of me momentarily." Kynria just sat silently in the car. She wasn't exactly sure how this thing was going to work, but once it was started up and began raising, she tensed slightly. She glanced out the window to her side and blinked a few times. They had begun driving over the traffic, literally just passing them by. Then, Kynria turned towards the cars computer when it called out an oncoming car. "Well this is new..." Kynria thought as she turned back towards the window. She stuck her hands up against it like a child at a museum and stared down at the road and the cars they were passing. After a short ride, which actually didn't end up being that bad, Zero noted that they had arrived at their first destination. She watched him get out of the car, wondering if he just wanted her to wait or otherwise.

"I... am going to follow..." she thought, making the decision to just go with him. She opened the car door and stepped outside, brushing the skirt to her school uniform off and glancing around. "So... what exactly is this place...?" she asked him, talking a lot more than she had in a long time. She kept a calm, yet curious look on her face as she stepped over towards Zero's side. "It looks important, am I allowed in there?" She just began following his lead, making sure to stay close to him unless she was told otherwise.
