Rapid knocking can be heard at the door…really late at night.

“HI IM SO SORRY IM LATE PLEASE DONT BE MAD-” Kanade looked extremely exhausted- her makeup and clothing suggested that she had quite literally ran off set just to get here and the dirt and fresh scratches on her elbows and knees suggested she tripped and fell multiple times on the way.

“I have presents! They weren’t hurt when I fell down thankfully”

From Lana you received a portrait- This portrait in particular was painted to show Shisuta among a vast garden of flowers. The colors are a mixture of bright and happy ones mixed in with a few undertones of dark blue. It’s a habit for Lana- throwing in a signature dash of blue in any painting no matter what the subject was doing.

From Itsuki you received- a bracelet: this bracelet in particular is a floral one- with little Sakura charms and the letter S hanging off of the bracelet

From Kanade you received- a plush ghost! It’s a signature Mr. Spooky doll! This time he’s holding a bouquet of flowers and a small cross hangs off of the bouquet.

You also received- a big hug

“I’m sorry I was late Shisuta-san!” The girl sniffles “I had a bit of a hang up at a rehearsal and…I kinda ran here…I don’t think I’ve slept in almost three days” she admits “Kagome-sensei kept reminding me that it was your birthday cause I brought all of our gifts with me and I was too tired and stubborn to take a break and deliver them earlier”

“Regardless- happy birthday Shisuta-san!”

As the day of Shisuta's birth was almost over, no one expected there to be any more gifts being given to the Catholic nun. Thus, it was no surprise that she turned in after having some tea with Aranai, who was currently awake in the living room, playing on her cell phone with the T.V. She looked as the clock on her phone read 12:01 A.M.

"Better get to bed soon," She thought. "Got a day of classes tomorrow. Bet that'll be fun."

Rolling her eyes, she looked around for the remote, prepared to turn the television off when she heard some rampant knocking at the door.

"What the hell?" Aranai said as she stood up from the couch. "Who the hell is that at f'ing 12 at night?!"

Grabbing her baseball bat from her bookbag that was in a nearby corner, the former Bōsōzoku walked to the door, prepared to beat the crap out of whoever was disturbing her and her surrogate mother's rest. However, to her surprise, it was Kanade, Lana's younger sister from Kyoto.

"Kana?" Aranai asked, looking at her before remembering how late it was. She didn't want to be upset at the kid, but she wasn't going to let her get off scot-free, either. She was about to chastise her until she saw how exhausted she was. Probably on account of all the stuff she was carrying in her arms. Sighing, Aranai let her temper defuse before inviting the girl in.

It was at this time that Shisuta heard the noise and came from the other room, dressed in her sleeping attire.

"Aranai, what is... oh! Kanade-chan?" Shisuta said as she looked at the young girl.

"What are you doing here this late?" Shisuta asked gently, yet somewhat sternly. This was far from the time a young girl should be walking around. Nighttime, unfortunately, was not the safest of times as all forms of evil came out at this time. Listening to the young girl as she came to deliver presents, Shisuta smiled at her. She was a bit startled as she was suddenly hugged, though she quickly smiled at the Kyoto girl.

"Thank you, Kana-chan. That was very nice and sweet of you. Though next time, please try to wait until it's a little brighter outside." Shisuta said as she hugged the girl back. Looking at how dirty and injured she was, she had the young girl take a quick bath to freshen herself up. While she did that, she took a look at the gifts the Starlight Specters had brought her.

Looking at the portrait, Shisuta smiled at it, along with Aranai, who whistled at it.

"Wow, that's a very good resemblance."

"It is, isn't it?" Shisuta said as she smiled at Lana's portrait. The Catholic nun always loved flowers. It's one of the reasons she loved working at the flower shop. There was just something about flowers that made her smile. Placing it down in a corner, she reminded herself that she would hang it up tomorrow.

Looking at Itsuki's gift, which was a bracelet, Shisuta smiled as she slipped it onto her left wrist since her right one already had a wristband. She admired them both. The one on her right was a gift from her... ex. And though she didn't have good memories of him and disliked talking or thinking about him, she still hung onto the bracelet for sentimental reasons.

Looking at Kanade-chan's gift made Shisuta give a small laugh as it was their trademark ghost holding onto a bouquet of flowers.

"Flowers and ghosts..." Aranai said, looking at the plush doll. "What will they think of next?"

"Be nice," Shisuta said, still looking at the plush doll as she contemplated where she was going to put it in the house. She decided to keep it in her room until she decided somewhere else to put it. As she did that, she started making a makeshift bed in the living room for Kanade. She very well couldn't send the young girl back out onto the streets at this time of the night! Tomorrow, she would escort the young girl back to Kyoto. Until then, she could sleep with Aranai in the living room.

"Be nice to her when she comes out," Shisuta said, smiling, making Aranai roll her eyes.

"Why wouldn't I?"

Giggling, the Catholic nun then returned to her room, prepared to retire once more. As she looked at the plush doll that was on her bed, she smiled to herself.

"Today was truly a blessing."

Aranai's Thoughts on Kyoto Division

Lana Alarie

"Lana? Yeah, I know her. I met her a few years back in Kyoto when she was part of the DD. It kinda sucks they broke up, but I understood why. We didn't speak much, but whenever I was in town, we'd go out for drinks. It's funny watching her get drunk, cause she always does some off-the-wall shit! *Laughs out loud*

"Anyway, I hadn't heard from her in a while, but I'm glad she's doing alright."

Itsuki Kamiko

"This guy? Truthfully, he looks like a nerd. A hot nerd, but still a nerd. But from what Lana told me, he's the one who helped her and her sister escape from their mom, so I guess he gets points for that. Plus, it's funny watching him get drunk off his ass. He's an even worse drunk than Lana is, believe it or not!"

Kanade Alarie

"Lana's younger sister, right? Don't really know much about her since I often hung out with her sister. I'll say this about her though: it's hard to believe that she's the same age as me considering how short she is."

Starlight Specters

"The Kyoto Division team seems like an all-right bunch. I'm personally looking forward to facing off against them in the D.R.B., especially Lana."
