The door opened. It was the teacher; he didn't say anything other than they can sit on their seats. Kaito put on his cheery poker face, and no one noticed it. It was as that before didn't happen, but Hakuba knew that he was trying to hide it.

Hakuba sat behind him and Kaito before him. The class continued, and the other students sometimes gave a glance and some whispers which were about Kaito. The once who done this had received a warning glare of Hakuba. It made the other stop. Other than a particular girl who still glanced from time to time to Kaito.

The male usually liked the attention, but this time he wasn't feeling comfortable. It made his instinct want to go run out of the room. Worst was when Aoko was glancing at him. It made him tense, but his expression wasn't changing.

"Excuse me, sensei?"

The sensei stopped and looked behind him with a nod.

"Would it be fine to change the seat with Nakamori Aoko, please?"

The teacher caught the tone.

"Of course, I hope it is fine for you, Nakamori-san."

The said person wanted to argue but stopped. She let out a sigh and stood up, taking her stuff and changing the seat with Hakuba.

"Thanks."

Kaito was relaxing now as he saw the smile Hakuba gave him. At least he didn't need to worry about the eyes that were on him. But he felt eyes bore in him, behind his back which made him a bit fidgeting. He knew that Aoko wanting answers. 

"You doing alright?"

The brit whispered, which made him glance for a moment as he let out a sigh. He wasn't feeling that well, but he wasn't wanting to interrupt the class again. He had enough attention alrady to him at the moment. 

"Yeah, I am fine. Don't worry."

Was whispered back. The brit frowns, but not saying anything anymore. He was feeling utterly exhausted and maybe he wasn't that better than he thought he was. An hour later they had their own learn hour. The brit stood up giving him a reassuring smile and walked then to Aoko.

"We need to talk Aoko-san."

The girl stood up glancing one last time at him and then they were out of the room. As soon he was alone, the students were looking at him again. No one dared to walk up to him, that was until Akako walked up to him.

"Wanna go somewhere? I want to talk to you."

He tensed up for a moment and wasn't liking it that much, but knew that she wouldn't let him alone.

"Fine, you choose where to go Akako."

With that, he stood up and felt his hands getting taken. He flinched slightly at the touch, which the female noticed of course. She still didn't let go of his hand and both walked out and somewhere alone. It took them not too long and now that they were alone, she showed the concern for him.

"I know something happened to you. I thought here you could catch your breath a bit."

The hand of Akako left but not without a squeeze. It took a moment for the male to realize what she told him. For once he was glad that the female helped him out. He was still wary of her and her magic. But for once she wasn't trying to do anything, or maybe she would?

"Thanks, but why are you helping me? The last time you tried to use some magic on me. So why?"

His body was back tense and he was not liking being alone with her. Now he wished that he would be with Hakuba. At least he wasn't his annoying self anymore and he hadn't thrown any comments of him being Kid.

"Because you are not yourself right now. You are tense, I am genuinely concerned about you. This isn't like you and Hakuba is weird as well. So what happened? I couldn't look into it, but it is clear that something happened."

The female folded her arms together and not moving an inch away. Her eyes observed him and he felt like want to run away. The pressure was too much right now and he wasn't wanting to tell her. A sigh escaped out he knew that she wouldn't let him go.

"Two days ago in the evening, I got...kidnapped. Hakubastard rescued me."

Now that he thought about it, he hadn't used that nickname anymore. He wasn't wanting to call him like that anymore. 

"That makes sense now. You like him don't you?"

That was making blink a few times, frozen in place not knowing what to say. His cheeks felt like burning and Akako began to smirk and letting out her obnoxious laugh.

"Ohoho seems like I was right. It seems that you two bounded and I guess I have to give up."

That was making him gape like a fi-better not think about finny things and he didn't know what to think of that. Akako wouldn't just give up like that. It felt surreal and he would try to protect the brit from any spell she would try to pull on him. He owned him a lot and he would do anything to protect him from any harm.

"I hope you won't try a spell on him. I warn you."

The female gave him a soft smile, which was different than the smiles she showed in class. It seemed genuine.

"I won't. I know how much impact that kidnapping had on you. When you need me, call me. I will try to help you and Hakuba out."

She gave him a paper with her number. This was making his eyes go wide, but soon he had a small smile on his lips.

"Wow, the red witch wants to help me.~ Thanks, I appreciate the thought, but I don't want to drag you in, nor do I plan on letting Hakuba dragged into it."

The female huffed and smirked now. It was making him have shiver going through him and a bad feeling made it over him.

"Heh, you better watch your back, because you never know what would happen to you. Ohoho~."

With this, she turned around and walked away, but he felt himself relax and the breath, which he held in was now let out. He hadn't realized it that he has done this, maybe she wasn't that bad. At least his opinion on her changed slightly now.
