Who: Misaki and Masami
What: Checking in on those that were in the boss battle
Where: Masami's dorm room
When: After the battle with Renju's shadow, before any drama
Why: Because Misaki is genuinely worried about the health of the team after all that frozen wasteland.



Misaki made her way from her dorm room carrying a small pot of summer soup with her, being careful not to slosh it around too much, and walked up the stairs to the floor where Masami's room was. She had been worried about the others since the battle, and considering the fact that Masami was looking after Tom, someone had to keep an eye on the older girl. Misaki didn't want her to get sick, and soup, even the summer kind which was not as warm as the winter kind, was always good to get the immune system going.

A soft sort of gingerish flavor wafted from the steam that came out as she held the pot in one hand with a mit, and knocked lightly on the door with the other. She had been thinking of the fight. The way Masami had become during it. It had been frightening, and she wondered if Masami had thought of giving up. Misaki doubted it, but...considering the pain that the group went through, it wouldn't have been that much of a surprise.

"Masami-chan? Are you in there? I hope I'm not bothering you?" Misaki called out against the shut door. "I have some soup if you would like. Are you home? If you're busy I can come back later...Masami-chan?"

It was a few moments before the door cracked opened and Masami peered out. "Aoi-san..." she began before she opened the door fully. "I'm not especially busy right now, but... Umm... why the soup?"

"Well, come in, if you want..."

Misaki smiled at her, "Just wanted to bring you something to help incase the cold got to you too much back there. I've been having chills for the past couple of days now."

Misaki walked in and smiled at Masami, "How are you, and how's Tom-kun? I haven't had a chance to check on him. And I wanted to check up on you too. I hope I'm not being too much of a bother."

"...I'm OK. I have tea, after all, but thanks anyway," Masami replied as she closed the door and moved to sit on the floor next to a small coffee table in the middle of the room, upon which a tea set was placed.

"I haven't been really bothered by Sonozaki-san's... area since we finished it, but..." Masami trailed off.

"Sagaki-senpai was... drained after that fight to say the least. I took him back to his dorm."

Masami shook her head. "It's... no bother. I have a lot to think about though..."

Misaki nodded and set the pot down on the ground, then sat across from Masami."May I have some please?"

"But there are things about it that your thinking about right? I didn't realize that Sonozaki-sempai and I were alike, it was really, different in there," Misaki shivered some

"Did he get some sleep? That cough was really bad. I hope he doesn't get really sick, that might look kind of weird considering the heat," She paused some, "Do you think Sonozaki-sempai got thrown in there? Or...do you think she went in by herself?"

Misaki nodded, "Sempai, can I ask you a dumb question. What was it like fighting that shadow? I mean you all looked like you were going to die and...I was actually scared. I mean normally I'm scared when I go into that place, and I know there's a chance that we might not come out alive. To be honest, I've seen the dead before, but actually seeing someone dieing it...it was really rather disturbing to me."

Masami poured some tea for Misaki and slid the cup to her. "What do you mean it was really different in there?" she asked.

"Sagaki-senpai slept after I took him back to his room. I made sure of that," she began, "As for Sonozaki-san... well, I'm not sure. Her shadow wasn't very clear about much, and it's not something I'd like to believe but... well, it said that in pretty certain terms. I don't really want to believe it but I feel like it's probably the truth. I haven't talked to Sonozaki-san yet about it though..."

"Well... that shadow was..." Masami paused for a long moment, "It was the first time that I really felt like I could really die in there... and..." she trailed off awkwardly.

"I mean, it didn't... There was something darker about her dungeon. I'm not really sure I'm discribing it right, but it felt like the inside of the freezer at my mother's lab where they keep the dead. There was all that religious stuff in there too, and, well...it was really the first time I really felt genuinely scared. In the others I felt threatened, you know. Like with Maeko-chans, but the fact that this one went as far as to throw people in paradise, that she was even capable of doing that. It makes me wonder if a shadow could ultimately kill one of us out here." Misaki looked at the tea before she slowly sipped it. "I don't want to tell Maeko-chan because then she's going to try to keep me locked up again, but I'm starting to think there's a possiblity that the farther we get in, the more dangerous our shadows become because we realize we can turn into that."

She shivered even though there was no air in the room. Looking up at Masami she smiled slightly, "Well it's a good thing that you were there to look after him then. If she did walk in there, then she must have really been hurting after Tom-sempai's dungeon to actually willingly go in there. Do you think she will talk about it?"

Misaki blinked, "You actually felt like that? But I...Kanaye-sempai said that you can come back here if you die, but that doesn't mean that you don't feel it? God...I really really don't want to feel that."

"Well... I'm not Buddhist, and after that, I'm pretty glad I'm not... and, these areas are based on the person, right? I kind of expected Sonozaki-san's area to be darker than Ikeda-san's, or Akuba-san's, or yours. Though it was still darker than even I expected..." Masami said before sipping her tea.

"I was planning to talk to Sonozaki-san about... a few things. I don't know if she'd willingly talk about it though. Still..."

"Well... I mean, I'm pretty confident when it comes to fighting shadows. It's... probably the only thing I can really contribute, so I try to be as good at it as I can. This was the first time, though, that I really felt... well... like we might have been in over our heads, and because of that I..." Again she trailed off. Why did the topic keep coming back to that? She really just wasn't sure what to say.

"It's sort of funny, my family is supposed to be, but honestly I follow more shintoist teachings. My mother has no belief in anything outside of science and my father, well...I'm not really sure I never asked him." Misaki said and sipped slowly, she was getting used to the tea. "Mmm, so why do you think that was? I mean her whole issue with the dead and the river? Also was your family shintoist before, or was it your own choice in the matter?"

"What about? Or am I prying to much there?" Misaki asked genuinely concerned. "I'm kind of worried that being in my dungeon helped her shadow come out faster."

She blinked at Masami and then laughed, "That's not all you're good at. You're really good at getting people to listen Masami-sempai, and people really respect you. You're also level headed at critical times, I really have to say that I envy you because of that. You're also really kind, and compassionate, like with Tom-sempai. Seriously there's more you contribute then just beating up shadows." She took a sip and thought, "I kind of know what you mean, and honestly don't at the same time. Viewing it was scary enough, I mean poor Yoshimi-chan fainted and Keiichi-kun...it was just a real mess. I was...promise not to laugh, but for a while I really thought that you guys were going to die and we wouldn't be able to save Renju-sempai." Misaki looked down. "There was no one to heal your group, and I really really wanted to..."

She blinked some, trying to hold in tears, "I got so mad when Satou-sempai ran off. After he told me he just wanted to protect Maeko-chan. I'm sorry, that just got to me, and Toshi-chan too. They just took off running."

"Well, I don't really know what made Sonozaki-san like that, so I can't really say," Masami said, "As for me, well... my parents are... it's really because I started working as a miko. I guess because of that I kind of ended up actually following Shinto, not just observing the festivals that everyone does..."

"Well... like I said, her shadow just wasn't clear on a lot of things. Also, it's a long shot but maybe she knows something that could help with the case."

"I don't think healing magic would have worked in that case anyhow," Masami said, "and like I said, I also felt a little hopeless about that fight, but... well... umm..."

"It's curious that she would pick such things. It's also a bit creepy in a way. I know the meaning behind the spider Lilies, and a lot of people don't like them." Misaki said softly, "Or at least some people that come in the shop. Why did you start being a Miko? What got your attention about it? I really never thought much about religion and faith, but, I think it might be a good thing to have, you know?"

"Yeah! That would be really good. I'm trying to follow up with Toshimi about the pendent that we got. It just seems really weird that it was only the four of us." Misaki muttered and then nodded, "Can you do me a favor though, when you see Sonozaki-sempai, you probably will before me, can you just ask her why it was that the shadows there seemed really unsettled by my comment about color."

"Hopless? Do you think it was the affects of the shadow or...paradise itself? This...this can't be good if we're seriously starting to feel the affects. I mean what if we wind up starting to actually get more physically connected to that world then this one?" Misaki shuddered.

"I wanted to get a part-time job for some extra spending money and... well, most shrines are pretty quiet except during major shrine-going holidays. I figured it'd be better for me than any other job," Masami explained."

"I'm... not really sure that's a really pressing concern, but if I can, I'll ask her about it..."

"Well, I meant more like... hopeless in the sense that we weren't going to win that battle. It's the first time in Paradise that I haven't been completely sure of victory..."

"So it wasn't a religious choice then? Huh, I never really thought of working at a shrine. Isn't it hard though? Did you have to do a test or anything?" Misaki asked.

Misaki nodded, "Wonder if Keiichi tried to bring her more cookies...Knowing him, he probably did."

"You...you felt it to? I wonder what happens if we can't win? I really don't want to think about it but there is a chance," Misaki said softly.

"It's not that hard most of the time," said Masami, "It gets really hectic during the big festivals though. And... don't you have a job already?"

"Don't worry about what happens if we don't win. I... I'm going to make sure we keep winning. No matter what." The resolve in Masami's tone was clear, but a look at her eyes would show something else. Not resolve, something that felt a little more... sinister, perhaps.

"Well yes, but I'm curious about the whole shrine maiden aspect. My grandmother was one, so for a while I thought of doing it." Misaki explained. "I'm just wondering what it was like."

"Masami-sempai, don't...don't go doing anything that can get yourself hurt please." Misaki noticed this and shivered some. "Really we're a team. We should help one another right? So, so please...don't do something that could get you hurt."

"You shouldn't be worried about me doing something stupid. There are... others in the team who might. Go tell that to them," Masami said, her tone of voice a little harsher than usual.

She stopped and sipped her tea from, and when she spoke again her tone was back to it normal calm. "As for me, I just think I need to start... training again. I did all right against Sonozaki-san's shadow, but..."

Misaki winced, "Sorry, I guess I'm just worried that people's emotions will run high."

"You seemed to get really, angry out there though," Misaki noted quietly. "It...was a bit scary. I really don't know how to discribe it. There was just this energy around you. It wasn't like you looked at the tournament."

"Well you...it was a real change. You seemed to get very upset, like you were one of those characters in a movie that they just loose themself. It was really scary," Misaki said softly and folded her hands looking down at the table they were sitting at. "I don't suppose you know why? You had the same look in your eyes just now when you were talking about winning no matter what."

"I... umm... didn't really realize it," Masami said, then took a long sip of her tea.

"Oh... what are your plans for summer break, Aoi-san? I... might go back to Sendai for a few days, but I'm not really sure yet."

"I can guess why, you seemed so focused," Misaki smiled some. "Not that I blame you. What we were going through was harsh. I think the only time you seemed to get something like that was in Maeko's dungeon when you attacked the butler hands and the rexy."

"Not sure right now. I want to go to a park with Maeko-chan based around Anpan. She really likes that stuff," Misaki smiled cheerfully, "And um...I'm avoiding the trip to the beach this year. I don't think I want to see water for a while. my mother always has us go to the beach, and then freaks us out about whats in the water."

"Oh, that time... I was under the enemy's spell. Nobody ever really told me what happened then..." Masami said as she poured herself more tea from the pot.

"The didn't?" she looked suprised and passed her cup over for a refill. Misaki paused, "you mean you don't remember how...well you got kind of scary back there. I can see why they may not of, but you don't remember anything happening?"

"I really don't remember," Masami said as she refilled Misaki's cup, "It was like... I remember the enemy casting the spell, then the next thing I remember is coming back to my senses. Everything in between is a blur..."

She passed the refilled cup back to Misaki. "What do you mean by scary?"

"What does that mean? You mean you were acting on instict? That's kind of scary Masami-sempai if you can't remember." Misaki said softly sipping her tea after she took it and looked worriedly at Masami. "Do you remember ever getting like that before?

"I mean, well, you were really going at the shadow. Like you didn't care if it lived or died, just as long as you got to hit it and beat it up. It was, it was like watching one of those really scary movies, where the good guy just goes all crazy at a point and doesn't realize that he's becoming a bad guy."

"Well, the others on the kendo team say that I'm at my best when I need to win and it's not looking that good..."

At hearing this Masami went silent, occasionally sipping her tea with her eyes closed.

"I noticed that too, you're really forceful when you're not winning Masami-sempai," Misaki said softly, then smiled, "But that's really a good thing in a way. You're trying to do your best and pull out of a bad situation, which is really what we were in last time."

She paused, "I'm sorry, I said to much there."

"Oh I know you're not. You just seem to get really intense about things and...well I wouldn't want to be on the shadows end when you get that way. I don't know if I would make it out in one peice." Misaki quipped and smiled. "But I know that you'd be someone that I would want fighting with me. Because you don't run away."

"I...I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you masami-sempai," she dsaid softly and quickly tried to swich subjects. "Oh so what are you going to do when you go home? And How did the kimono turn out?"

"I'm not really upset, just... worried," Masami said.

"I'll only be in Sendai for a couple days. I'll probably just meet with my friends from there, and also my grandparents."

"As for the kimono, well, I haven't really had time to try making it. I mean, we got the stuff for it, but then there was Sagaki-senpai's shadow and right after that Sonozaki-san's..."

Misaki nodded slowly, "Then I'm sorry to have worried you. I might be over blowing things to be honest. I tend to do that from time to time. Make a mountain out of a mole hill."

"Will you send us a post card while you're down there and take pictures? I'd like to see what your home town is like." She grinned and nodded, "Well maybe we can work on it together, now that things look to have calmed down some."
