Day 31: Sun Room (Fourth Shift)

[screwthegods]

Though perhaps not entirely as successful as he wanted it to be, Homura walked away from lunch feeling satisfied with his efforts. Roland and Fai both had shown interest in the goal, and that was enough for the moment. Homura could be patient, had already been for five hundred years, and felt no harm in waiting another five hundred if he had to. He would have his goals realized, no matter what obstacles he faced, be they from the prison or those trapped within.

But now was time for business of a different sort, and the demi-god made his way to the Sun Room, near the common board. He made sure he could be seen from the entrance to the cafeteria, knowing that one stranger and one member of his own group both wanted to meet with him. It worked out well enough, especially given that the stated purpose of the History Club was simple.

Revenge and escape.

For now, Homura had no intention of revealing that it'd grown more complicated than that.

Oh! He just wanted to know more about that creepy guy from last night! She breathed a silent sigh of relief. "Y-yes!" she replied quickly, "that's... that's fine. What is it that you need to know?"

Hitsugaya raised an eyebrow. Kagura was surprisingly nervouse for such a simple discussion...far more nervous than her attitude regarding the assailant when she had posted on the board. "Is everything alright, Sohma-san?" It was possible that her assailant had found her during the day and threatened her into silence. It was also possible that she was worried he might discover something else. There were a lot of possiblities, not all of them pertinent. Still, he filed the thought away in case it became relevant later.

"Ah- I'm fine! I'm sorry!" she apologized, trying to gather her thoughts. "ah... um..." she rubbed at the bandage on her neck, "it was... dark and... and I really didn't see much. But I know they'd have a bite on their hand." She frowned then, recalling the frightening experience.

"If I find him, ooooh, I'll just..." her hands clenched into fists at her sides for a brief moment before she got a hold on her anger, "is... is there anything else you need to know?"

Hitsugaya nodded slightly, making note of the bite mark. "Do you have a general idea of how tall he was compared to you? And as for the bite mark, do you know specifically where the mark was?" It would be a lot more difficult to excuse away the mark if it matched the exact position of the wound.

"Mm..." she looked thoughtful for a moment, distracted from her anger by his questions. "Taller than me. I don't know how much. He was wearing white, I think. Um..."

She held a hand up to demonstrate the next part. "He had his hand over my mouth... right here. So probably... I bit him right on this part," she said, pointing to the knuckle joint of her forefinger. She tilted her head to the side curiously, "does that... help?"

Hitsugaya jotted down a few more notes as she described the situation. "It does. Did he say anything to you? And I assume he ran after you bit his hand?"

"Umm," she mused for a moment, letting her eyes wander the room. Someone was staring at her. It was that princess girl from the other day! But why was she staring? Kagura decided to focus on the conversation at hand for the moment. "N-no, he didn't say anything. And then he ran away, yes."

Hitsugaya pondered her words, then jotted down a few more notes. Nothing terribly useful, but still worth considering. "Thank you. Is there anything else of note you have for me? Any detail, no matter how slight, could assist me in my investigation." He glanced up at her from his notebook as he waited for a response.

"Um..." Kagura said a little nervously. It was hard to concentrate when that other girl kept looking over here, but she tried. "Not... not really. It's kind of a blur. I think that's everything though. I'll... I'll let you know if I can remember anything else."

She hesitated a moment, not wanting to appear rude, "Ah- if... if that's everything, I should probably get... get going. My friend is waiting for me. Good... good luck with it! Let me know if you find out who it was, I'll be really happy to help punish them!" The last was said in an almost eerily cheerful tone.

"Please do," Hitsugaya said, then stood himself. "Also, while I can't give you orders, I'd recommend keeping things quiet until we have more information on the issue. If we bring more attention to our pursuit than is necessary, your assailant will only keep his guard up. If he thinks he was able to get away with it, he'll be more likely to make mistakes."

He nodded ever so slightly to her. "That's fine. Thank you for your time."

Kagura was hesitant to keep quiet at all about the attack, but if it meant catching the bad guy, then she'd do what she was told. She nodded her agreement, giving a brief, informal bow before she excused herself from the conversation.
