Monday, a few days before the 28th of January
I don’t know why , but today I wanted to go by train and walk to school, after the deal Saturday night with Yami I slept over 30 hours and with Higashi and Asahi guarding me there were no bad dreams...
I was with Rei-chan and we were walking to school from the train station, it was very cold, I hate when it’s cold and plus we were both wearing our uniforms (for me it’s a first...I never wear uniforms). I don’t know how Rei was feeling, but I was freezing...”Damn I hate winter” I said to myself. Although I tried to tell her that I felt walking today, but it didn’t work, we ended up in a lil’ argument that I wasn’t in the mood for.
“I can’t believe you’re walking with me to school, and you’re not in your car.” said Rei
”It’s not that weird.” I said to her
”Maybe it won’t be, if you’ll tell me what made you to do it.”
”I don’t know..I just got a feeling that a walk will be good today...” I just did not want to tell her what really happen...she didn’t need to know
”A feeling? Like feeling hot?” she said, trying to make a joke.
”NOO! ...I said very pissed “What gave you the idea?” “What the hell is with her? I’m not in the mood to joke around” I think she saw me tensed and tried to joke, but it didn’t work, I was too distracted, I was worried...no I was anxious to see what will happen next...
”The train is faster.” she continued the conversation
”Really?” I asked in a sarcastic tone. “Then how about...” I couldn’t finish what I was about to say because of a scream, Rei ran to see who was in danger, a stupid thing to do...allies are very dangerous, I’ve decided to keep my distance.
”Oh my gosh, are you OK?” Rei asked the girl. I seemed it was a girl about Rei’s age and I think she was injured, Rei called me to help her with the girl, then I saw that the girl has a uniform just like mine...how weird.
"She must go to our school, look at the uniform!" Rei said to me...I looked at the girl “You’ve got to be kidding me...I don’t believe a thing” I said to myself, but I smiling sympathetically and said “All right then...I’ll play my part...no problem” "What's your name?" I asked the girl
"K-Kat..." she said while she sniffed.
“Kat?” I asked “Yeah right and my mother’s name is Maria Theresa...and it’s not, what ever..” I said to myself. I played my part well...asked her if she’s from our school, if she was new...and felt bad for her being injured “She didn’t answer my questions...hmmm...if she think she can fool me she better think again, if she was from our school I would have known, because I remember very well people’s faces and her...I never saw her in my life..” But when I was about to ask her some more questions...
"J-ch-chan..?" she said before she fainted.
“Just great, just what we needed...This is not enough, I need to know more about this girl, if I come to think of it I don’t know anything...” I said to myself. While Rei was desperate and didn’t know what to do first, I calmed her down and so I came up with a neat plan too. “Let’s take her to your place...”
“Eeeeee!!?? Why my home?” she asked me surprised. “Let’s take her to the school’s infirmary ..it’s not very far.”
“Today’s Monday remember?” I said "The infirmary is closed remember?" I said to myself...
“Oh, all right...I’ll call a cab” she agreed.
While we were waiting for the cab, Rei put the girl in a sitting position, I was still trying to keep a distance from Kat. When we were in the taxi I think Rei saw something in the way I was looking at the girl, because when we got to her place and Kat woke up, Rei began some sort of interrogation.
At Rei’s place....I was surprised to see that she had a nice house and that she lived alone. While Kat was still not waking up Rei dragged me into the kitchen and she made some tea.
”Don’t worry” she said “Shinigami will watch her.”
“Who?!” I almost dropped my cup...for a moment I thought she was talking about a real Death God, but explained to me that she was talking about her pet... ”Yeah...very normal...OMG she almost had me...my pet she said, like she was talking about a cat or a dog or a stupid normal size bird, but a raven...you got to be nuts...”
When Kat woke up, Rei gave her some tea and began very subtle some sort of interrogation, a lot of trick questions about our school, last week’s weather and a Japanese saying...”Hmm...very interesting, I didn’t know she could do that” I said to myself. Kat kind of screwed up every answer and once again proved to us that she is not who she claims to be...a normal 2nd year student at the Kagura Gakko. I think she was trying to get my attention to talk to her, but I was to aloof...I did not care...
After we sent Kat with the taxi Rei called...I said I was going back home, I lied. Rei went home too.
“Well then..take care!” she said to me
”You too!” I said, after I saw Rei gone I made a call. “Higasi?...Where are you? Come and pick me up, oh and bring Kita too, I have something for him to do. I will be at a coffee house near the school...in 15 minutes? Ok I’ll wait for you there. Ja ne!”
At the “Black Dress” coffee house, I was at a table with Kita and Higashi.
“Today I met a girl, she’s name is Kat and claims to be from my school, but I don’t think so, she’s definitely up to something.”
“And what would that be miss?” asked Kita curious
“I don’t know...that’s for you to find out.”
“Yes miss, finally something thrilling for me to do” he said “I’ll keep an eye on her”
“I want you to find out everything about her, who she really is, from where she is, where she is living right now, what she does and what the hell she wants from me.”
“Yes miss, I understand” Kita said very pleased
“Now, take me to school, ‘cause today I have practice and I don’t wanna miss it.”
“I’ll take you to school” said Higashi, like I was talking to someone else.
At Kagura Gakko I was at the lockers changing my shoes, someone was standing at the door watching me
“You’re late today...” that person said
“Yeah, it’s Monday, I’m bored already...” I replied
“Yo.” The person said while approaching me. I looked at him and smiled
“Hey Shinji”
This is Shinji Tachibane, he is in the 2nd year, in my class and he is the ijime (bully) of the school. I don’t know how I got to be on his good side, but it’s worth it, believe me, you don’t wanna mess with him. He is smart and very talented, he’s a vocalist and plays 3 instruments...he’s kind of an evil genius.
“And you took time to put your uniform, this is a first...” he laughed
“Yeah...I don’t know. It’s my father’s fault, he said something about me being an example to the school students *rolling my eyes* “cause you’re the daughter of the founder” he said, bla bla bla...”
Shinji laughed
“Well he is right...you are the cool girl of the school...what you’re wearing everybody’s wearing” Shinji said
“So skipping again?” I asked him
“The class is boring and while I was watching something more important outside, a spot I think, I saw your car so I came to say Hay” he said
“Wanna play some hockey while the boring class is over?”
“Sure” he answered
“Ok, let me change my shoes again and we’ll go.” I said.
While we were heading towards the hockey field Shinji said
“It’s going to be 26th soon. So I presume you’re not gonna attend school in the next few days...”
“Yup...26th of January...the day of your death, Mello... my Mello, I’ll always blame myself for not stopping you from going to your death...Near, I’ll always hate you and blame you too for sending Mello to his death and for you getting all the credits...” I think Shinji saw me kind of deep into my thoughts, because he said
“Are you all right?”
“Yes” and smiled “Let’s play ball.”

Sorry again for the long post and sorry for still being way behind all the action...I promise my next post will be on the present day. This post should have been, but I had to give my perspective of the meeting with Kat-chan. Thank you very much SecretMusic for involving me into your plans. Hope we do this again soon ^^
Enjoy!
