[color=silver]"Are we any closer yet?"[/color]
[color=pink]"I.....don't think so!"[/color]

The site of action was further then expected. Earlier, Yuu had estimated that the noise would have come from a street away or so. She had grossly miscalculated. The voices kept growing louder and louder, but the path to the scene was not linear. Yuu had to pass through several alleys and streets, following only what happened to be her not-so-keen sense of hearing. As a result, she had found herself lost. Sure, she did know her way around her hometown, but constructing an entire pathway based on the faint sounds that she heard was another matter in its entirety. 

Just then, her cellphone began to ring. She fished it out of her pocket and was presented with the exact coordinates of the last Negari sighting, which happened to be not far away. She didn't make it on time, and the situation had already been taken care of. That would have been more than enough to completely demotivate her.

[color=pink]"That's it! I'm going home."[/color]

She began trudging her way home. She had already deduced the way home from a couple of street signs, for her intelligence was still something not to be messed with. All of a sudden, she spotted someone familiar. This familiar person was a female teenager with long purple hair and a respectable build. When Yuu got a closer view, she spotted the lady's purple eyes.

Who else would it be aside from Katsura Hyoukyo?

Katsura was Yuu's classmate in school. In fact, she was the class representative. She and Yuu would often be in the top ranks of the class. They would overtake each other in ranking frequently, and whenever that happened, they would exchange glares with each other. Yuu would always feel loathed by her. She really had no idea what Katsura's opinion of her was, but, to put things straight, she was [i]scared[/i] of her. She would tremble whenever Katsura got close, and she never failed to greet her respectfully. Katsura would probably see pure respect from her, but she probably wouldn't spot her innate nervousness. Well, she probably could, but Yuu had no idea if she actually did. Anxiously, Yuu approached the lady and began to greet her. After getting in the lady's way and bowing slightly, she spoke:

[color=pink]"Good afternoon, Kat-san. W-where are you going?"[/color]

[i][color=pink]Seriously, what kind of nickname is Kat? I should've went for something more formal![/color][/i]

Unknown to her, Alex had already taken refuge in the plastic bag that held the [i]maki[/i].
