It was a pleasant, lovely afternoon - pleasant enough for Reiko not to be bothered by surprised yelps which had somehow found its way up to the rooftops from where she had came from. For a brief moment, she wondered if Kenny was still amongst the throng of mentally defective students in the hallway, but her mind quickly resumed back to dissecting the book before her. 
 
A rapid few sentences later, she shut the book with an audible clap. 
 
"Boring," Reiko muttered. The writing was abysmal, and she made a mental note never to read from that author again. It was a crime-based plot that gave away one too many glaringly obvious hints to its readers, and even that was an understatement. Or perhaps it was just Reiko being her typical, overly critical self. Books rarely held her attention for more than a few chapters, despite her penchant for reading. More often than not, Reiko found herself reading for the sake of sifting out excellent reads amongst thousands of other dismal ones.
 
Having caught sight of a student whom she failed to identify, along with the Hazekage siblings, it prompted the raise of a brow. It had been a while since Reiko last saw them. A half-smile crept onto her face as she recalled all their extravagant, rebellious antics during a few notable events which their parents had attended and brought them along. Their relationships were grounded on mutual understanding, and a general distaste for heirs of rich families who knew nothing more than to sip tea at prestigious functions, unanimously agreeing with whatever their parents commented on.
 
With a swift toss, Reiko's abandoned book went straight into a trash can. 
 
[i]"Greetings, my lovelies!"[/i] Reiko exclaimed. Her voice had switched gracefully into a smoother, more feminine voice a tad higher than her natural tone, executing an exaggerated but elaborate and graceful curtsy as befitting one of the sophiscated upper class.
 
"Kidding. That was disgusting." Reiko broke into a smirk and resumed her upright, polished posture. "How's your old man?" 
 
Then, the door to the rooftop was cast open, revealing the figure of a dainty, feminine male with golden locks of hair even more lustrous than good ol' Kurogane's. Reiko would remind herself to prod the guy about it later. Meanwhile, she observed the newcomer. From the looks of his crisp uniform with its colours still bright and strong, Reiko inferred that he was a freshman. Usually, uniforms start to turn soft, lumpy and dull the further one progressed through his academic years. Along with his sunny disposition, the newcomer also came with a polite request.

[i]"I'd definitely appreciate the assistance of helping me carry her there. I'd definitely owe you a favor for sure,"[/i] he said.

Reiko blinked twice, instantly evoking a mental image of the route one would have to take to get to the nurse's medical center. She frowned.

"Well," she directed her words to Kurogane. "You could clean up after some year threes on your way there," Reiko said. "Knowing you, that is quite unlikely," she added.
