Who: Misaki and Kanaye
What: Hide and go seek
Where: School, where else
When: Early afternoon just a while after the announcement
Why: Because Maeko's worried that her little kitty will drown herself in the river.



Breathing wasn't easy at the moment Misaki had discovered, she was trying to kick a lone half deflated soccer ball into the net, hoping, maybe that today was a dream, that this whole thing was some sort of dream that she could wake up from. Maybe if I kick the ball, just once, I'll wake up and Aomori sensei will be here and Sato sensei will be here...and...and all this bad stuff won't be happening.

She brushed the tears from her eyes as she tried over and over. He'd been nice enough to check on her when she had been 'sick', that was Aomori sensei. He cared about such matters, and what had she done, skipped his classes because she didn't want to feel ashamed for not being able to do something as simple as kick a ball! She wanted to throw up. This was supposed to be a happy day...her birthday, the day she turned sixteen! Now all she felt was miserable. A man...no, her sensei, was dead, and all because they couldn't get along. This was there fault. No it was more her fault. Maybe if she had been nicer, or less dependent, Maeko wouldn't be fighting with Satou, and then Keiichi and Shiori wouldn't be having trouble and...

The pink haired girl tried to kick the ball again and again, but the sorry state made it unable to fly, and the muddy ground from early rain had caused the field to be hard to play on. All she manged to do was send the ball a few feet, and make mud fly and spatter with a squicky squelching noise as it hit the ground once more. Her uniform was a mess, as was her face, but Misaki didn't care at the moment. She wondered how the soccer team was going to take it...how the baseball and basketball teams would too. It was...terrible.

Running over to the ball she slipped and landed on her knees in the mud and winced. Picking up the ball she bit her lip and asked it, "Why...Why did this have to happen? Why couldn't we stop it! This wasn't supposed to happen. We're supposed to be good guys, heroes. We're supposed to save people not...not let them die. We...why did we fail? Why give us this when we can't actually do anything with it? Why couldn't we save him..." she looked down at the deflated ball, "Where did we go wrong?"
