Nyuu? [Open]

[Xena]

"Oh no!"

I exclaimed suddenly, looking frantic as I scanned the contents of the tote bag I brought containing seven borrowed books from the library. The item was on the counter of the librarian who by this time was giving me puzzled looks. I was always ready to return my books on time, and it doesn't matter how many books you borrow; if you borrow a novel, that's three days, but if you borrow two novels, those are still three days' time. I had chosen seven novels, three thicker than the other four borrowed a day after the previous books were checked out. I had those three books in the tote bag. But where was the last one missing?

I know that I had put it in here! I thought, still in panic. The book was due today, and if I don't return it - let's just say, very unpleasant things will happen. I casted a gaze at the librarian, who was still eyeing me but now tapping her fingers impatiently on the counter. I gulped, gestured to the door and uttered shakily, "Be right back!" Before zooming out of the library, the tote bag in my arms yet the six other books left at the counter. I frantically searched where I could've left the paperback, but it was to my dismay pointless.

I sulked in a corner of the hall near the auditorium, still refusing to give up on the lost book.

"Excuse..."


Misa hesitated to even talked to the worried-looking girl, but she really wanted to help if she have anything useful to do. She lean down to the girl, folding her legs and sitting on it. She bowed her head to have a closer look to the girl, but she hesitated again. She's shy, but since she needs the courage, and she ought to have it that time. She opened her mouth to talk, and suddenly, she have words coming out from her mouth.

"Can I help?"

She asked smiling as usual, a bit tensed but trying to hide for the sake of having a new friend.

A huge sigh could be heard escaping from the silver-haired girl pink lips as she recalled the past events happened in her life. None of it caught as her most precious memories and the year is coming to an end. She wasted too much time and the girl was not happy about it. The only memory she could not have forgotten was the time when Xena was broken-hearted, losing a friend she treasured the most and this is not serve as a special memory but a painful one. For the first time in her life, she saw someone deeply hurt and the worst of all, she could not do anything but watch her grieving about her lost one. Sometime, she wonders if she was a good friend.

The girl was deeply lost in her thoughts and didn’t notice a thick book laying there in front of her. Walking like a blind person, one of her foot caught the object, in result a tripping process occur. How clumsy she can get? Her whole body was on the floor and her lips kept groaning the word ‘hurt’. What the hell just trip her? The statements floated in her mind as her eyes wildly searched for the culprit. Her gaze then caught on an overly large written book, looking at it as if the object can whimper in frighten. Pulling herself together, she stood up with an annoyed expression pasted on her face. She felt stupid for her clumsy actions and accusing a lifeless book.

She dusted her uniform and walks toward the culprit that almost cause her to be injure. With both of her hands, she lifted the book and grasps it to prevent from falling. Did someone lose a book? Her silver eyes scan the whole thing and the Alice Academy logo was clearly shown on it. A book from the library, ei? Well, she was heading to the library in the first place. Why don’t let the book tag along? With those thoughts, she heads to the destination. But on her way there, she saw two girls. One she can identify instantly and the other was not yet registers in her mind. Her long silver hair sways gently as she walked to their area, feeling a bit curious of what was happening. Her fingers grip tightly on the book as she stood in front of them. Letting out a soft tone, she enters the conversation.

“What’s wrong?”

[tsukino]

Phenyl skipped to the Library feeling childish. She thought it might be fun to go there again, but its dangerous for her since the last incident.
She slowly opening the door and peeking in it.

"0-Ha-yo..."

She speak silently and went inside. "Huh?" Something seems to be happening in the front counter. Curiously, she walked to them.

"Hello...what's you're problem???" She asked hiding her hands.

[Xena]

Where could I have put it? I thought, mentally slapping myself for being so careless in losing a borrowed book. I had been in my thoughts so deeply that I did not notice the figure overshadowing me. I had only noticed it when the voice snapped me out of my panicking trance in reviewing my steps the days before. "Excuse..." Excuse what? I thought impatiently, surprsied at how short-tempered I was. Girl. Who would've thought, with a personality like that, I involuntarily heard in my head. I sighed inwardly, disappointed in myself for even thinking such words. Then I cursed in my head, my gaze fixed at the smile of the girl. "Can I help?" The stranger spoke again, and I mumbled incoherently, "Help in what?"

I tried to focus on entertaining the questions of this girl, even while looking for the book. My gaze, which was previously fixed on the girl, began to roam the empty corridors for evidence about the lost book I was looking for. Maybe some geek who carried it to his dorm room by mistake, or a prep who had taken interest in it. Either way, when you overlook the whole situation, it still sounds hard as hell; no way easy. "You know what I need, miss?" I asked Misa, wanting to confirm that she knows what the person she's going to help needs.

You can't exactly waltz up in front of Hiei and offer him assistance, and what he needed was a janitor. But I had just been bored or it was a slip of the tongue, so I answered my own question immediately, "A book. Have you seen one?" But then my gaze was wrenched free from roaming to the eyes of a silver-haired girl. Kisara Mizuhara. “What’s wrong?” she uttered, and I sighed, Everyone's too helpful these days. "I lost a library book," I began, "and I was hoping that--" But I was cut off by another female's voice. "Hello...what's you're problem?" And I somewhat sighed angrily and began again, "I lost a library book, and I was hoping that any of you found it."

Then the book trapped in Kisara's fingers caught my attention. "Kisa-chan," I started, my eyes sparkling with curiousity, not even asking permission to call Kisara Mizuhara with the honorific, "where did you--" Before being suddenly cut off by the feeling of a hand on my back and the voice that accompanied it, "Is there something wrong, Xena?" coming from, as I looked up, Elyon Brown. I sighed again, and uttered simply, "Lost a book. Due today." Then after it, an inaudible murmur, "Everybody's just too helpful these days."

OOC: Phenyl, the setting's at the Auditorium.

[tsukino]

OCC: Sorry! ^_^;;

"Everybody's just too helpful these days."

"Well, I'll help you find it." She said raising her hand. "I'll come back later when I found it." She said before leaving. She talked to something again. Probably they didn't know who is she talking to.

"Help me find it, kay?"

She whispered to something. And went around looking at each spot. She didn't manage to find it since it is so big.
