Shino dragged her feet from the classroom toward the cafeteria doorway. Each step took a good amount of strength from her body. She panted as she inched her way toward the doorway that lead into the cafeteria. She nearly made it to the end of the line when her stomach growled loudly.

“Ugh, I'm so tired... but I can't make it the rest of the way...Mai...”

Mai took the liberty to convince Shino to switch the eye patch. Her body grown too weary to trek the rest of the way to the back of the line. Mai picked out a meal that Shino would eat. They shared the same body, though their spirit force was something that was separate through their bodies. Each had their own reserve, that when combined, would cause too much stress on the body.

Mai placed her fingers on her eye patch to switch back to the exhausted Shino, but she saw Haruka walk toward her and smiled in a sweet demeanor and patted the place next to her.

“Why don't you come sit by me, Haruka-san?”

Haruka stopped in her tracks and blushed. “Er.. okay.” She sat down next to Mai and sighed.

Mai looked into Haruka's eyes intently and smiled. Today was the day she was going to tell Haruka herself that she had feelings for her. Though when Haruka glanced at her, she choked.

“So, how did you like Kidou class? Shino told me it was really hard for her.”


Kuragari continued to eat his meal at a slow pace and take the time to ease his mind of his earlier troubles. He took yet another sip from his tea and let out a sigh. He rubbed the bridge of his nose as the image of that disgusting looking behemoth haunted his mind.

“Where did it come from in the first place?” he thought to himself as he took another helping of his ramen. As time passed by him, he constantly wondered why that beast appeared before him in a dream. What did it all mean? He pondered for clues and wished he had a dream interpretation book right about now. Or perhaps someone could interpret it for him. But he didn't know anyone that could interpret dreams.

He sighed and took a sip of his tea and stared at the ceiling.
