Kurama knew his mother took great pride on his spotless performance as a student and he would never do more than entertain his thoughts of skipping class, but after all the adrenaline and thrill of the recent dangers the Spirit Detective team had faced, peace had a particular, very plain taste. The iron hands of the clock finally signaled the end of the class, and Kurama rose from his desk ready to depart for the day.

He inwardly sighed as he made his way through Meiou's hallways, disappointed that a week had gone by without any requests for action. Kurama was quickly jolted out of his thoughts by the sudden force on his chest and the soft, "Oof", that accompanied it. He looked down to find a dazed looking classmate shaking her head in embarrassment and smiling at him sheepishly. She glanced up at him, and he was unexpectedly met by startling blue eyes.

"Sorry about that," she started. "Looks like I was little too caught up in my book." She held up the offender. The words Feudal Japan and Folklore were emblazoned across the cover, not the most common topic he thought a high schooler would be so absorbed in.

"No problem at all," Kurama replied graciously. "It's nice to see someone satisfying their curiosity in a good book." He noticed as he spoke, the girl had tensed. He was used to the faint blushes and skittish eye contact his female classmates initiated, but this girl had locked her eyes very directly onto his and was searching him intently as if looking for some hidden away answer…

After a moment, she relaxed and a peculiar smile danced over her lips. Ah, looks like she found it.

"Well, I'm sure you of all of people would know a little something about indulging your curiosity," She remarked with a hint of laughter in her words.

Kurama's eyes followed her retreating form and her mysterious comment lingered in his mind. Her choice of words was too intentional, too knowing. Could she..?
