Gift Of A Samurai

"Meow."

I looked down to Luna, who was sitting at the doorway, her gleaming gold eyes looking up at me while her tail moved lazily from left to right.

My hand was still on the doorknob of the washroom door, while my hair was wet from the long, hot shower I'd taken. The towel on my neck caught the few water droplets that fell from the orange strands.

"Meow?"

I smirked and crouched down to lightly stroke the top of her head, listening to her soft purrs as they drifted through the quiet room.

"Are you keeping us company tonight, Luna?"

"Meow." She moved from my hand to walk around my feet twice, brushing her body along my skin as if she was marking me. She then ran back into the room and onto my bed, where she'd stay curled up on my pillow so I wouldn't be able to take a nap until we were done.

Turning the light in the washroom off, I walked to the bed, noticing Kaito, who was sitting on the floor and using the base of the bed as his back support.

He was scanning the magic textbook in his hands, but he paused and looked up to see me.

"Hey. You took a longer shower tonight." After I settled and stretched out my legs, I answered. "Yeah. I had a lot on my mind. I hadn't realized how long I'd been running the water until the bathroom was full of steam. Didn't want to be a shriveled prune."

"What are you thinking about?" Kaito gave me his full attention.

"A lot of things," I admitted with a shy smile.

"Want to talk about it?" he asked, closing his book and placing it on the bed behind him.

"We're supposed to study."

"We're still ahead in the studying department. One evening focused on letting out our worries and concerns will be far more productive than you realize," he reasoned.

"All right."

Talking about it could help me clear my thoughts and resolve my tiny worries.

Kaito waited patiently as I tried to gather my thoughts. I ended up crossing my legs and relaxing my back against the wall behind me as I began to work through my thoughts out loud.

"At the library, I saw Elijah and his new group of friends," I confessed. "It shouldn't have affected me. At least, in my mind, it shouldn't have. I thought I'd overcome that, but it felt like someone had kicked the wall I'd worked so hard on building and I was left staring at the broken blocks scattered all over the floor beneath me."

I lowered my gaze to my hands, their obvious fidgeting a habit I’d developed sometime last semester.

"When...that group began to call me horrible things, I thought I'd be able to take it. However, it hit me right in the heart to hear Elijah's words. To hear him talk that way about me, and then...to tell them all that I wasn't even good enough to be his first because I was too innocent." I looked back to Kaito, staring at his calm expression as it began to blur with my tears.
