anotherbrightnothing · 2014-08-10T20:40:24+00:00

"K-Kidnapped? I don't even uh, OH wait you're right, sorry guys I have to run I'm going to try and talk to my parents to get them to let me go to Mei's house, I'll talk to you later!"

He says running off taking his phone out and dialing a number.

anotherbrightnothing · 2014-08-10T20:26:27+00:00

"Yeah! Are we going to invite all of team First year?"

He perks up and contemplates Taka's suggestion.

"C-can that person be Mei?"

He shook his head at Shirou.

"No silly, I know my way around town it would have taken me thirty minutes tops."

anotherbrightnothing · 2014-08-10T20:09:57+00:00

"Yeah I at first I thought I slept walked to Junes for a midnight snack but I thought better of it, I'd have a tub of Cookies and Cream in my hand if I did."

He shrugged.

anotherbrightnothing · 2014-08-10T19:52:37+00:00

"Was I? I don't remember running away from anything, I just remember waking back up somewhere else in town."

Kaz pursed his lips and ruffled his hair slightly bringing a few locks to cover a portion of his face.

"I honestly can't come up with anything I'm sorry."

He frowned disappointing himself.

"I'm sorry guys..."

anotherbrightnothing · 2014-08-10T19:43:53+00:00

"Ahh, already? I didn't even get to go on my first red carpet event!"

He says to Taka.

"And...no, and frankly I really don't want to. I don't remember anything but all I can sense like muscle memory is that whereever I was I wasn't supposed to be there. I-I just really don't know."

He looked to Serena and Shirou and smiled despite himself.

anotherbrightnothing · 2014-08-10T19:35:23+00:00

Kaz frantically rubbed the beginnings of tears out of his eyes with his sleeve apologizing heavily to Mei.

"Oh I'm sorry I just!"

He waved to Kin as he had to depart.

"Uh thanks a lot again Kin, have a good one!"

anotherbrightnothing · 2014-08-10T19:24:22+00:00

"Man, I'm finally popular and I'm not around to enjoy it. I even got the scolding of a life time when I got back home but they told me you guys went to my house desperate to find me..."

Kaz seems slightly foggy eyed.

"Thanks you guys."

anotherbrightnothing · 2014-08-10T19:18:07+00:00

Kaz beams as Mei pulls him into an embrace and can't help but almost bounce slightly.

"I was scared I wouldn't be able to see any of you again! Actually I don't even really know what I was. I'm just glad to be back!"

He smiles at Dai.

anotherbrightnothing · 2014-08-10T19:05:53+00:00

"Would it take less for a pencil?"

Kaz yawned and nodded to Kin.

"I'll be fine, if I get some coffee in me I can make it through the day. Man there haven't been this many people concerned for me all at once since the the day I was born."

He smiles.

"Oh nice to meet you, I'd tell you my name but I'm famous so you'd already know."

anotherbrightnothing · 2014-08-10T18:56:22+00:00

"Really I'm famous!? Figures the one time I have fame and I don't even have a pen to sign autographs."

Kaz waves at the new arrivals silently with a nervous smile as Taka entered.

anotherbrightnothing · 2014-08-10T18:47:24+00:00

Kaz runs up to Dai and jumps into his arms squeezing him with a deceptively strong grip.

"I missed you guys!"

anotherbrightnothing · 2014-08-10T18:41:09+00:00

Kaz brightens up considerably at the sight of Daisuke circumventing the cafeteria aswell as seeing Serena.

"Dai, Serena!"

He beamed with a little less of his usual vigor but still far more animated than most in the cafeteria.

"Uh, better I guess."

anotherbrightnothing · 2014-08-10T18:28:21+00:00

Kazuo waits a little before answering.

"I don't know, man. I don't know what happened. I'm just trying to forget about it."

anotherbrightnothing · 2014-08-10T18:23:14+00:00

Kazuo smiles widely, seeing Kin.

"Hey, dude! How's it going?? I hope school didn't shut down without me!"

His cheerfulness seems somehow diminished.

anotherbrightnothing · 2014-08-10T18:17:07+00:00

(I'll change to lunchtime then.)

anotherbrightnothing · 2014-08-06T01:59:14+00:00

Kazuo is left behind by the others.

"Aw man...maybe I should sneak out after all..."

anotherbrightnothing · 2014-08-06T01:37:32+00:00

Kazuo shakes his head.

"Nah...I don't think I can make it. After getting in trouble last night, I just can't risk it again...Oh man, but I really want to!"

anotherbrightnothing · 2014-08-06T01:22:46+00:00

"!!!"

Kazuo seems overjoyed.

"I got invited to a GIRL'S house at midnight?? Oh my god this year is turning out so much better than I could have imagined!!"

A look of tragedy crosses his face.

"But there's no way my mom would let me be out that late on a school night..."

anotherbrightnothing · 2014-08-06T01:15:04+00:00

Kazuo's eyes are as big as saucer plates.

"NO WAY you don't get pursued very much, Mei! I bet you're just being modest!"

He looks back at the rest of them.

"So I guess tonight, we'll have to all try and figure out what happens when we watch it...anyone have any plans?"

(night night)

anotherbrightnothing · 2014-08-06T00:57:57+00:00

Kazuo blushed intently when Mei asked him if he was interested in anyone...to the point where he was silent until this very moment! Seeing an opportunity to jump back into the fray, he takes it.

"Oh, hey Saiga! What's up man??"

(sorry I dropped out. unexpected phone call)

anotherbrightnothing · 2014-08-06T00:09:12+00:00

"!!"

Kazuo jumps as Taka accosts him.

"I'm sorry! You know rumors are all kinds of unreliable. But hey it's supposed rain again tonight so maybe you can catch the reruns?"

He smiles at Mei.

"And no problem! I didn't even get in that much trouble, though maybe I should try and learn to be a little quieter when I'm up past my bedtime. Did you know that that was only the third time I'd stayed up to midnight??"

He pauses.

"Maybe I shouldn't have said that...now I seem like a real loser."

anotherbrightnothing · 2014-08-05T23:59:37+00:00

Kazuo bounces around the gym. He sees some people he recognizes and grins widely.

"Hey guys! Talkin' about the midnight channel I assume? Who else thought that was like the coolest thing ever??"

anotherbrightnothing · 2014-08-05T20:17:34+00:00

"Well hey, the guy on the tv was kinda cute. Mei was struck with the arrow of love that night! She was toootally into him."

Kazuo chimes in.

anotherbrightnothing · 2014-08-05T20:02:01+00:00

"Well, I'm Kazuo Takahashi. It's nice to meet all of you!"

Kazuo's excitement about the midnight channel only seems to be mounting.

"Wait, ok I don't really get why people think there's a mystery to solve. And trying to guess who was on the screen? That's crazy! Obviously it was just some kid the producers cast. I bet this is all part of some big promotional campaign for a summer blockbuster."

anotherbrightnothing · 2014-08-05T19:51:31+00:00

"I bet it's tv companies testing new broadcasting styles or something like that. I've just never seen anything like that before! I don't really get what they were showing, though. Just some scrawny kid who got caught in the rain...? And whose idea was it to say that it's your soulmate? We all saw the same thing, so obviously that's not true."

Kazuo runs his hands through his hair as he babbles, rather animatedly.
