Kaname Chidori, age 16, has been living on her own ever since her father and younger sister moved back to New York sixteen months ago. Part of her figured she'd live alone in her apartment until she got married or something. Never in her wildest dreams did she ever imagine that she'd be forced to live on a military base.
Say goodbye to sleepovers with Kyoko. This whole moving business was something that she didn't even want to begin to explain to her best friend. She didn't bother to even try and explain it to her father. Instead, she just told him that there were problems with packages being stolen at her apartment complex and provided him with a PO Box to send letters to instead.
It was probably better if he and her young sister, Ayame didn't know what was going on, anyway. If they knew she was in sort of danger, they'd only worry. Her dad would probably move back to the US, and moving to this base was bad enough. She was still trying to come to terms with all of this, herself.
Goodbye, perfectly normal high school life.
Kaname shifts the box in her hands. Most of her things she had shipped off; they should already be in her room. But this box is filled with things that are special to her. Old family photographs -- especially ones of her mom. A few photo albums. Her childhood blanket. The Bonta-kun plush toy she's had ever since she was a baby. The box isn't exactly heavy, perse, but it's certainly large and unwieldy. That's part of the reason why she's having such a rough time carrying it.
Still, she's been walking around this base for ten minutes now, and she's still completely lost. And unfortunately for Kaname, her usual shadow, Sousuke Sagara, wasn't around. Thankfully, though, there's a figure up ahead.
"Hey!" Kaname calls out, as she quickens her pace. "Do you know where the dorms are?"

[Ken tries to get Kaname to raise her head a little, leaning slightly as he rests on one knee.]
Sure, doing that right now might be a little dangerous, but once there's either no more reason to hunt you, or no more people who will, then what's stopping you from going back and graduating? Its like... what, two years till you were done?
I bet we can do something in that.

"Yeah, I can still go to high school as long as Sousuke follows me around." No one had taken that away from her -- not yet, anyway.
"But I'm guessing you never attended high school with Sousuke have you?"
Kaname doesn't wait for a response.
"He makes so much trouble for everyone. You know what? When we first met, I was pretty sure he was stalking me. I just got so angry with him following me around all the time like some kind of creeper! But now that I know the truth, I'm not sure what reality I would have preferred more."
The reality of being a girl with special powers under his protection or a girl with an especially abnormal stalker.

[Ken actually... chuckles a little, as he leans back now, holding a hand to his head.]
And that's pretty bad, yeah. I mean, I understand both sides really - back when I was young, I really didn't understand that actually approaching a girl you liked was part of how things worked. Parents weren't the best at... teaching... that sort of thing.
[His jolly expression briefly sours, but he shakes it off.]
I learned better in time though. If someone matters to you, then you talk to them about it. Simple as that.

Wasn't it?
"Besides, I'm not sure Sousuke has any idea what love actually is."
From:
no subject
Though, for what its worth... yeah, he's pretty dense from what I gather.

no subject
And her next question probably doesn't help matters, either.
"Do you know Sousuke really well?"
From:
no subject
I might talk to him at some point though. There's just some questions only he can answer...

Kaname rises to her feet.
"Thanks for your help, though. I know we didn't really get any answers, but at least I have a better idea of where I stand. I really should get unpacked, though."

A game of cards would probably be the most normal thing she could do on this base.
