[quote=YuukiSuzuki] It wasn't that she had gotten used to this rank yet, far from it. But she knew others were not nearly as quickly to adept to new situations as she was, even so. It wasn't a good idea to be worrying about that now. With everything as it is currently, the white haired female doubted it would be long before a full on fight of some kind broke out. Glancing down from her rather lofty perch, Kyoko only spotted non-other than the newly promoted 5th seat of the third, Kazuya. She knew, being the one to go on various missions with him, yes he had great skill with kido. But she did wonder if that was the case, why he wasn't with the fifth? She knew it wasn't right to ask, so she wouldn't. But it would be rude to not even greet the male wouldn't it, even if she was from Rukongai, it didn't mean that the young female lacked manners. Jumping down easily from the roof she looked forward, although not the most overly social person herself. It looked like she would have to learn to be considering her rank, with an inward sigh she moved forward with that thought. "Hey Kazuya-san, what's with the glum look? I thought that someone promoted quite so quickly might look a little happier." Kyoko commented towards him, it wasn't being mean, just merely stating that she might be at least a little concerned. [/quote] As Kazuya walked, his hands in his pockets and his vision set on the ground he heard Kyoko jump down from the roof which made him jump a little then when she spoke to him he froze. his eyes widened a little, he knew he had to turn to her but he wouldn't be able to look at her. So Kazuya turned to Kyoko but he just looked at the ground still as his right hand rose to the back of his neck and rubbed it slightly as he listened to the rest of what she had to say, he knew he had to reply to her and this just made him gulp...he didn't like talking to people, even ones he had known for quite some time now "O-Oh h-hi Kyoko. U-m i-it's nothing just u-umm f-family problems" Kazuya had just lied to the girl which instantly made him feel bad but he couldn't honest about why he felt the way he did...that and his family were dead, at least most of them...the others were missing...if they were even alive. "s-so how umm a-are y-you?" Kazuya still couldn't look up at Kyoko but what he just said about his family clicked and that it may spark a conversation which made him even more nervous and then he asked how she was?...maybe it was just him being polite but still...it was unusual for him
