Parting words? He was so close that last kiss might have helped her deeply... but alas it wasn't to be. A frown over took this girl's face. Who actually expected her to be okay with this parting? Her mind drifted as her eyes opened. Ashikaga Kimiko sat herself up in bed and leaned forward into her hands. She had been so close to what she wanted. She didn't dream that... right? She wouldn't have made up a guy in her head who fit all her necessary criteria? A single tear rolled out of her eyes and she heard a chiming as she moved back? What was that sound? It was... the sound of a jewel hitting the keyboard in her lap. She was once again in her own room and her own body. She was still wearing lingerie but added to her fit was this large red jewel on a golden chain necklace. It was so clear it reflected the color of her eyes perfectly. 'Sou ka... it was real. So I guess that was my actual warning for the game of tag this time?' she thought but... that didn't sit right with her. She threw herself out of bed pushing her keyboard to the side. Her projector was off and so was her set up but none of that mattered now because she needed to think. She stood and walked towards her private bathroom while rubbing away that tear. 'He actually wants to be found right? He actually likes me too?' she questioned. An old insecurity, part of what had fallen away from her in the other world, was rather suddenly back. She knew that he knew who she was, but what if he really didn't like her? Earlier in their adventures she'd been a bit worried and those worries resurfaced immediately. Anxiety plagued this girl as she showered water hitting her body and washing away everything, including the random tears she allowed to fall.
What she couldn't know, was that within this large mansion there were many extra bodies moving around. They were all looking for evidence of her disappearance. She'd come out of her shower wrapped in a towel with newfound purpose. Of course, she'd spent a large amount of time talking herself in and out of finding the lad. And she'd settled based on her own selfish desires. 'He really isn't the type to lead me on like that. I have to trust this... and find him. Ask him directly, and maybe...' she paused that thought. They'd spend far too much time together, she'd grown so attached to him. She really wanted to know him and didn't think it was weird at all. It could be considered like internet dating right? They liked each others personalities so they could like each other in actuality once they got past the awkward stage of it. Once she found him... it would be easy to know or not. Kimiko wasn't shallow, as long as he didn't classify as a fat-ugly bastard she could see herself easily finding the good in whatever form his body had now. As long as he was truly the guy she'd gotten to know and like... everything else would be fine. Aside from that... that final face looked like one she'd seen before... she simply couldn't remember from where. But... they went to the same school so he could have easily just been a face in a crowd. 'Or outside of it... he definitely isn't really a crowds person. Anyways, Akashi said I had everything I needed and I am pretty sure that face at the end was his... so...' as she walked across the room towards her closet her bedroom door opened. She'd already started using processes of elimination to narrow down her search. Assuming it was one of her parents she simply called out, slightly hostile because they were breaking up her concentration. "Oi oi, let me get dressed first. You guys promised to start knocking before you opened my door!"
