Fearless

Chapter 19

A few days had passed since the orphanage mission, and it was officially the last day for the regular academy students, which means Kiara wouldn't have to work on homework for both the Academy and the cram school— which meant she didn't have to do any more Algebra 2 homework.

At the dismissal bell, Kiara couldn't help but grin as she got out of her seat and packed up her books. She felt a hand on her shoulder and looked up, seeing Bon standing next to her.

"Ready to head out?" He asked.

Kiara nodded, "We're seeing Paku off before we meet Teach at the train station, right?" She asked, looking from Bon to Shima and Konekomaru. The group had been notified a the day before about meeting up at the train station for some sort of training exercise before the official start of summer break.

Konekomaru nodded, "We should get out and meet up with the others before it's too late."

"Right."

With that, the four of them walked out of the classroom and through the hallway, Bon and Kiara hanging a bit behind Shima and Konekomaru. The two of them walked close to each other, their hands brushing up against each other a few times until Bon silently grabbed Kiara's hand.

Kiara's cheeks warmed up ever so slightly— it had only been a few days since they became a couple and each time they touched made Kiara's heart jump a little bit. She glanced up at Bon, who still had his usual neutral expression on his face. She held back a laugh as she looked in front of her at the backs of Konekomaru and Shima.

Once they stepped out of the building and moved off to the side to wait for Rin. Kiara and Bon let go of each other's hands— so far nobody has found out about the two of them dating, which kind of surprised Kiara, sure, they were kind of hiding the fact that they were dating, but they weren't being that secretive. She must of overestimated the observation skills of her classmates. After a bit of waiting, Kiara finally spotted Rin walking out of the building.

"Hey! Okumura!" She called out, getting Rin's attention. She watched as he walked down the steps and towards the group, looking around at all the leaving academy students.

"Wow, there are a lot of people leaving." Rin stated. "And a lot of cars, too."

"Well, it is the last day for regular academy students. They're all heading home for the break." Konekomaru said.

"Oh right. You three are from Kyoto, right? Man, that place sounds so cool!"

"What'd you mean, cool? It's just like any other town." Bon responded.

"Well, we don't even know if we get to go home yet." Shima stated.

"All right, I enjoy all this chit chat, but we have a friend to say bye too." Kiara said, gesturing over to where Izumo was talking to Paku.

"If you get the time, you should come home." Paku was saying as the group walked up to the two.

"If I get to, then yeah." Izumo said, her usual snarkyness gone for the moment.

"You're going home for the great, too, huh? Man, it's gonna be lonely here." Shima said.

"See you guys next semester." Paku said with a smile on her face.

"Have a good break." Rin said.

"If you ever get the urge to hear my voice, you can call me. Day or night." Shima said, a goofy grin on his face.

"You're such a moron." Paku laughed.

"Enjoy your summer, Paku. We'll try to make sure Izumo doesn't go on a rampage while your gone." Kiara joked.
