" Arina Shiori. Arina Shiori. Again not in class ? It's been 4 days in a row. Minamino. "

Kurama ; hai.

" Do you know what happened to her ? "

Kurama : no. She didn't tell me.

" Eh ? Aren't you her best friend ?

Kurama : she really didn't tell me anything.

" I see. Her science subjects are great but her other subjects are just average. If this goes on, she might really fail. "

Kurama : hai. I'll go look for her and talk to her about it.

" Alright then. "

It has been already 4 days I've been trying to find her. Maybe she has gone back to spirit realm just to avoid me.

During recess...

" Neh. Minamino "

Kurama : oh. Kamine. What is it ?

Kamine : no... It's just... Arina is my good friend too. I've been trying to contact her as well for these three days. I was worried she didn't come to school yesterday. True, she used to skip attendance, but she always manages to come to class. If not, she would always inform me. She didn't at all for these 4 days. I'm kind of worried.

Kurama : gomen. She didn't tell me anything either. Really.

Kamine ; eh... How about her house ? Do you know where she stays ?

Kurama ; you've never been to her house ?

Kamine : no. She always just came to mine and play. We even had sleepovers.

Kurama : I see.

Kamine sighed " and here I thought maybe you were just keeping it a secret from the sensei. Is she really ok ? I mean, even you the boyfriend doesn't know. "

Kurama : eh ? ^_^""" Boyfriend... Who told you that ?

I don't remember telling anyone that. It was a secret between me and Arina.

Kamine : oh. Come on. You don't need to hide it from me. I saw you two once holding hands going into the theatre.

That was only once... And she caught it ? Scary.

Kurama : ^_^ ha ha ha... are you sure ?

Kamine ; you have red hair and I would never recognise Arina wrongly. She had that weird short stature for a high school girl. I'm sure !!

Kurama ; haha. I see.

Kamine : ooi. Is she really ok ? Minamino.

Kurama : um. Don't worry. I'm sure it's ok. I'm probably the one she's avoiding, that's why she's not turning up for class.

" Eh...? " Kamine seats down " what did you do to make her avoid you ? Arina is a super nice girl. Just kind of weird. What did you do ? Did you cheat on her ?!! Huh ?!! Minamino Shuichi!!! "

Kurama ; no... It's not like that

Kamine: really ?

Kurama: um. She's just angry at me over something.

Kamine : that's all ?

Kurama : um.

Kamine :hmph. I'll believe you for know. If I find out, you're cheating on my arina-chan... I'll kill you !!

Kurama : haha... ^_^"""" hai.
