Who: Tom, Misaki, open
What: Investigation on Tom's behalf
Where: Roof top a while after talking to Kouchisei
When: Lunch time
Why: Because Tom's a stalker.

Misaki had wandered up to the top of the school at lunch time rather then deal with anyone. What Kou had said had really bothered her. Was she that bad a person that he outright hated her? She didn't mean to be so forward she was just tying to get to know him better. He seemed like a nice person. She just wished she knew what was wrong with her. More and more she felt lonely, like no one really cared. It had started the day after they had gone to find Kouchisei, and now it was only getting worse. To add to this with the parent teacher meetings coming up soon, she knew her mother and Father would be disappointed in her grades. She'd long ago given up at getting excellent scores and had turned to just trying to get decent ones or good. There was no way of matching her Mother's expetations. She wasn't an A+ student like her sisters or her brother, she didn't specialize in math or science so what was the point in even trying anymore.

Sighing some she sat down with the lunch she had brought for Oubai and closed her eyes imagining someone there. Smiling some she relaxed as she played out a scene with an imaginary friend that was there for her.

"Nazuki-san, aren't you going to eat your food? What? Oh I can't have it...well if you insist, but I don't want to eat too much. I should give this to someone else I think," she said to the fake person there in her mind. "I wonder if he's really upset with me...you don't think so? But he seemed so angry...Well I was just trying to help. What do you mean he was silly to get upset. You're being a flirt now, shush. I'm not that pretty...Do you really think so? Well thank you for saying that...."

So the conversation went on just like this. Misaki sitting there eating talking with thin air.

	"I also thought he was being mean." It's not hard to sneak up on a girl who has her eyes closed, and is talking to herself. So Thomas sitting across from her shouldn't have been very surprising. He looked out past the roof and shrugged. "You can always hope the teacher was mean to him as well." (Reply to this) (Thread)

"Yeeek!" Misaki jumped when he spoke and blushed like mad. "Ah...Ah...I...er...Sagaki-san! I didn't hear you come up here! What...are you done talking to Oubai-sempai?"

She paused and looked down and shook her head, "It's just the way he is. He's a bit restrictive. He likes girls who are very soft and shy. I guess I'm not like that." Misaki paused and shook her head, "No no...I don't want that. He's had enough of people being mean to him."

	He blinked at her description, and the gear sin his mind seemed to be turning. Then he looked back to Misaki with a bit of a smile. "It makes you wonder what his family life is like, right? How long ago did his mother die?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pinksunbeam 2009-07-02 04:25 am UTC (link)
	"I'm not sure, not that long ago I believe," she said simply, "I don't know Oubai-sempai too well, so really I can't comment about his family. What about you? What's your family like?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ofmanydevices 2009-07-02 04:31 am UTC (link)
	He shrugged, and his smile cock-eyed for a second. "Beats me, I have yet to spend enough time with them to know. What about you, what's your family like? What about it brought you to the school?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pinksunbeam 2009-07-02 04:33 am UTC (link)
	"Um, well this is where my whole family has gone to. My Kaasan's very picky about school and she wanted me to follow after my brother and sisters so that's why I'm here." Misaki shrugged and smiled but the smile didn't meet her eyes when she said, "They're nice." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ofmanydevices 2009-07-02 04:46 am UTC (link)
	Thomas leaned back. He eyed her lunch, then his gaze drifted up to Misaki's face. "And what did you want to do with your life?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"What do you mean what did I want to do with my life?" She laughed, "My life's not over yet Sagaki-sempai. I still have time to think about it. I know what I want to do, it's just that I'm probably never going to get the chance to do it. I just...don't want to...wind up as just a simple house wife you know."

Misaki looked down, "It's not a bad thing really I suppose. It's something I would be good at....I guess. And besides, I mean, if it makes people happy, then it should make me happy too right?"

	He nodded, reaching up to run his fingers along his chin. "But you have friends don't you? And to imagine you facing all this craziness, that boy... getting killed... and you still have such a positive attitude. That's amazing Aoi-san." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I...guess, I have girls that are friends with me but..." Misaki paused and sighed. True they were her friends but why? She wasn't sure if they really needed her, maybe they just liked her because she was a good cook. It made her cringe some and she tried to shake it out of her mind, then smiled, "I guess you're right they are my friends."

The mention of Kei made her look out and whistful for a moment, "Sato-sempai was very sweet. He used to let me read his poems some of the time." Blushing she looked at him and then laughed, "I'm not amazing Segaki-sempai. I just don't think to much about the bad things."

	ofmanydevices 2009-07-02 05:54 am UTC (link)
	His eyes went wide and his mouth opened a little. "You were friends with Sato-san? Wow then this must have been... like way worse. I feel bad cause he died and I didn't even know anything about him. What kind of person was he?" He gave her a curious look. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pinksunbeam 2009-07-02 06:02 am UTC (link)
	Misaki nodded slowly and looked at him, "Yes, we were, sort of. I mean he never outright called me that, but he seemed glad when we met. He was really rather shy, not too talktive, liked to listen to the cello, and liked literature." She glanced up at him, "Why are you asking me about that?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

His mouth drooped a bit, and he looked down.

"When someone dies... it matters. Every single one of us is like a small stone dropped in a lake. We send out ripples and echoes that grow bigger and bigger, across the world. Each of us has a chance to shape the future.

If one of us is lost their memory should be honored. I'm afraid I can't honor the memory of someone I know nothing about."

Misaki stared at him a bit before resuming eating saying, "You sound like one of those infomercials about grave yards and funerals. And I'm sorry but I don't know a lot about him. He didn't tell me a lot, I'm sure if you ask other people they can tell you. But you've never met him before."

Raising her eyes, there was a coldness that she rarely showed anyone, "You're playing a game aren't you. You want to know things so you can get someone in trouble."

He met her gaze, but managed to keep his looks soft, mostly. He shook his head at the question.

"I don't indulge in games Aoi-san. That's for children. I do want to know things. I wan to the truth. I need to make sure that no one is going to be hurt because someone else thought everything was fine, and none of us should go looking.

But I understand the consequences of my actions, I know if I'm right, then things are a matter of life and death, and I risk death by doing what I do, but better I then someone unprepared for the situation."

He then looked away, almost ashamed of his own feelings.

"I meant what I said though, about remembering the people who are gone."

"You don't understand do you, I'm not playing either. There are things that you really can't understand right now Sagaki san, it's better to just let them be and let the police do their jobs unless you want to get hurt." She said softly thinking about Toru and wondering if he was okay.

"I know what you mean though, but it's silly to risk your life when you don't know what's going on around you. You can't do that. You'll only wind up hurting other people. Or are you selfish?"

He looked down for a moment.

"I don't care if I get hurt."

He paused for a moment and took a breath, then looked to her.

"And I don't care if other people get hurt along the way. There is too much as risk to worry about hurt feelings or a few bumps and bruises. At least they'll be alive."

He nodded his head almost as if he was agreeing with himself.

"I'm one of the only people in this school capable of handling this. And you think there are things that I don't understand, but you do? Then tell me. Let me judge for myself."

Misaki suddenly got up, "You're wrong! You can't say that. Bumps and bruises go away easily but letting yourself get hurt, letting other people feel hurt then...you're becomeing as bad as the people that you're chasing after."

She glared at him, "Maybe you should try turning the handle on a door the opposite way on a sunny day and then see if you can really handle it. You don't even know what you're getting into."

	"Then I'm just as bad. I told you I accept the consequences of my actions." He took a breath and looked down at the roof under their feet. "You think this is all tied into that rumor?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pinksunbeam 2009-07-03 02:00 am UTC (link)
	"Who's to say I just hear stories," she told him simply. "And if you accept concequences, will you accept the idea of someone dieing if you screw around with this case? Can you really live with that?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ofmanydevices 2009-07-03 02:15 am UTC (link)
	While standing he turned his back to her. "If it's necessary to... sacrifice some people for victory, then yes." He shook his head and turned back to her. "Have you tested the doorknob rumor?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pinksunbeam 2009-07-03 03:36 am UTC (link)
	"That is the worst thing you can ever say Sagaki-san! You shouldn't do that to people. It's...horrible. A person is a person, no matter what." Misaki said and stared at the back of his head. "No," she honestly told him. After all it had been someone else who had in the gym. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

His gaze fell upon her, as if studying her.

"Then it seem you understand me."

He paused and let out a breath. Simple lies were enough to keep the girl at bay. She liked people wanted to be friendly, she would need this to be convinced that he was not worth being around, and would leave him alone. It did make him feel uneasy to say that he was okay with people dying along the way, but she was too innocent, and not truly prepared to deal with someone who was willing to murder teenagers in cold blood.

The story however, seemed odd. Of all the rumors floating around she picked the one about opening a door to another world. It was an oddity, something out of place, and the things out of place usually ended up being clues.

"Perhaps I'll test the rumor then."

Misaki stared at him. Oh she understood alright, that he was a bold faced liar. No one in their right mind would ever say such things with a straight face, thus to Misaki it was a total fabrication to keep things hidden from them. Well that didn't matter, she was going to find Kou and text him as fast as she could. And...if she couldn't find him, she'd text him on his phone and see if this guy had said the same things to him.

It was only when he said he was going to try the rumor out that she reacted with a pale look, "I...I have to go Sagaki san. Excuse me."

This was bad! If he tested it and it worked...then...what if he got hurt. It would be her fault.

"Please don't bother with such silly things. It's just a story you know."

	ofmanydevices 2009-07-03 05:16 am UTC (link)
	He nodded to her as she made to leave. "Go on then." He took several steps, his mind already running on the new evidence Misaki had presented. He paused for a moment. "I'm sure we'll talk later. I'll open my doors normally until then." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pinksunbeam 2009-07-03 05:18 am UTC (link)
	"Why would you...you are odd you know that? And what are you trying to do? You're not telling me the truth! I know you're not." Misaki looked at him. "Just what exactly do you want with us!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ofmanydevices 2009-07-03 05:31 am UTC (link)
	He let out a frustrated side. "I want to know the truth. I want to know what's going on from..." He looked back at her, with a curious eye. "Who's us?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pinksunbeam 2009-07-03 05:39 am UTC (link)
	"Oubai-san and myself. Why did you want to talk to us exactly," she backed away from him some, her hand on the door. "Going on...you sholdn't get involved." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I had questions, you both answered them. That's it. As for my involvement... I'm curious what you think I shouldn't be involved in? You and Oubai aren't up to anything are you? Or this a general stay out of my life? Because if you answer my questions truthfully and quickly, and you're innocent of any wrong doing... that's very easy."

Tom looked at her, his usual cold look firmly in place now.

	Misaki gave him a sour look and pouted, "I think you should learn that there are things that you should leave to the police, Sagaki-san. Why would you care if we were up to anything or not, that's not for you to know anyway. And I have no reason to talk to you about this anymore, so stop bothering Oubai-san!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ofmanydevices 2009-07-03 11:14 pm UTC (link)
	He snorted and crossed his arms. The girl had given him plenty of information, and now he'd riled her up enough to dislike him. Now all that was left was getting rid of her and continuing his investigation. "Fine then. I'll leave you and Oubai alone, and you can stay out of my way. Go on then."

	Misaki glared at him, turned and hurried down the stairs. She had to tell someone about him. This guy wasn't to be trusted. (Reply to this) (Parent)
