It was still early when Kyoko had woke up; even by her family's standards. Hers was a well off family, but it was so primarily due to her parents constant efforts. As such, she and her brother had been raised being told time and time again to work all, give it your all and to always look and act your best - and that, from their earliest years. Not only did Kyoko made sure to wake up before her parents, but it as expected so. Being up so early had it's advantages, as Kyoko managed to sneak in an hour of studying before leaving for school. 

Kage Private High; not the best - not the worst. She might have been sent to another school, but none existed in the area. It did not matter, as long as you put in the effort. Of course there was the matter of...[i]that [/i]rumor. The ''Death Husband'' or some such. People had been talking about it, and evidences had been found. Police was at the school a few times, Kyoko had seen them...but she did not let any of this distract her from her dilligence towards studying. She had to be 1st of her class - she just had to.

She could feel the pressure building up, and even though she knew there was absolutely no reason to feel this way there was no fighting it. "[b]Say, aren't you..."[/b] 

[b][color=E02255]"Sorry!"[/color][/b] Kyoko let out, half audibly, before leaving, still looking down. 

Later, as she was sitting in the front row of her first class, that incident still weighed on her. Partly because of her failure yet again to communicate with someone, but also because of... that girl, and what happened to her. Surely it was not her fault, though...was it? There was nothing Kyoko could have done to save that girl. It was just out of her control. Yes, that was surely it...

[i]...but why would it not leave her mind?[/i]
