Looking down at a small piece of paper in her hand Kira looked at the door she was about to knock on nervously. Her left hand was hidden under a long sleeved coat she had managed to find that was odd for the weather. She was near boiling and her hand was throbbing as she had taken a first aid kit with her left hand but she didn't want anyone to look at her hand.
Looking again at the paper and making sure that she was at the right place, Kira put the small keepsake in one the pockets before using her right hand to knock lightly on the door. Stopping only for a moment to collect herself, Kira breathed in and held her breath for a moment before knocking.

Suoh had been in the process of sitting down on the futon with his guitar and a beer when he heard the knock. His first instinct was to ignore it, but he knew Oki wouldn't be happy with him for it. Not that she was there, and he had no idea when she'd be back; she had threatened him a couple of hours before about behaving himself while she was gone, and he suspected answering her door fell in that category. Damn it.
Setting the instrument aside and placing his beer on the coffee table, Suoh walked over to the door and opened it. He was greeted by an empty hallway and frowned, shifting the stick of his sucker to the other side of his mouth. He then looked down and saw the young girl standing there and one of his eyebrows arched gracefully in a silent question. She was too young to be one of Oki's students.
Kira would see a lithe young man standing in front of her in a pair of blue jeans and a white muscle shirt. His golden blonde hair hung loose, lightly brushing his shoulders, and stray strands fell roguishly into his face and eyes. He seemed almost to slouch while he stood, but his resemblance to Oki was undeniable: he may have been a bit taller, his hair darker, but he had the same cast to his features and the same blue eyes.
"You're not here selling cookies, are you?" he finally asked.

Seeing a man open the door made Kira blush, she had been sure that she read the address right. Fumbling slightly Kira used her right hand to dig into her pocket, pulling out the small piece of paper with the address on it. Looking at it again she looked up and blushed an even darker red at having not answered.
G...Gomen... umm... but is this the right address...?
Deciding that she had probably read the paper wrong she lifted it to the man, finally taking in her appearance. As she did she could have sworn that the man looked like Oki but Oki was a girl... Oki said that she didn't have a Mommy or Dad-Father.... and he's too young anyways... maybe I'm wrong....

Suoh took the piece of paper, at the neatly printed address with Oki's name printed above it. He turned the paper over once, just in case there was something written on the back as well but found it blank.
"You've got the right address, kid, just the wrong day. I take it you're looking for Oki?"

Bitting her bottom lip, Kira nodded her head and paused for a moment before speaking.
Do you know when Oki will be back...?
As she spoke Kira tried her hardest to hold in a whimper, her hand that had been holding the kit was throbbing. Her whole body was tense, and she was boiling in the coat she was wearing. Her only real shot at getting someone to help who wouldn't ask too many questions was with Oki, without her she didn't know what to do or where to go next.

Suoh tilted his head to one side, really taking Kira in. Something wasn't right. If the coat wasn't a dead giveaway, the first aid kit in her hand was.
"No idea. She left a little while ago on a mission. You need help or something?"

Kira had to hold back a cringe at the fact that Oki had to leave for a mission... she could still remember the way the bruise looked on her neck. All of a sudden she felt a wave of worry enfold her, what if Oki got hurt again? She wasn't any help and wouldn't be for a long time if Oki got hurt. Hearing the offer of having someone help her hand though made her ponder.
He doesn't know me... so it shouldn't be a problem... Oki seems to know him... but... what if he asks what I don't want him to know... he's not Oki... so it would be okay, won't it
Hai... onegai, I promise it wont be much... and I wont bother you again...

Suoh nodded and stepped back from the door to allow Kira to enter the kitchen of the tidy apartment. "What's up, kid?"

Hesitating only slightly, Kira walked into the place, she tried to stop herself from looking around too much. Once she was inside she set down the first aid box, gasping lightly at the pain from moving her hand at all. Using her right hand she pulled her coat off, letting it drop off of her left hand. Once the coat was off it was easy to tell why she was wearing it in the first place.
Half of her left arm along with her hand was in a huge bundle of white bandages, obviously sloppily put on. Some of the strips of bandage hung loosely while the rest was too tight and was causing her pain. On the bits of skin that you could see of her hand there was a dark purple tone to her skin, so different then her normal pale complexion. Looking up at the man she had never met before she blushed while speaking.
I tried but I couldn't wrap it with only one hand... it hurts to move it at all.. and I thought that Oki-senpai might wrap it for me...

Suoh frowned, seeing her hand. "Yeah, that's a mess alright," he said, place his hands under Kira's arms and lifting her to sit on a counter so he could see better. "But let's see if we can't make it a bit better."
He began to unwrap Kira's arm and hand, his fingers gently remove the mass of bandage and wrapping it up into a neat ball. Once the hand was exposed, he delicately turned it over in his hand to examine it. "Looks like you took a nasty tumble. You sure you shouldn't have a doctor look at this, make sure it isn't broken?"

Yelping as the man picked her up onto the counter Kira blushed a bit, she wasn't use to anyone but Oki touching her anymore. Bitting her lip she held back the whimpers she wanted to make as the bandage was take off although her hand felt slightly better with it off in some areas. At the mention of seeing a doctor though her eyes went huge with fear, shaking her hand rapidly Kira tried to persuade the man not to take her to one.
No, please... I promise it's not broken... I check and I can still move it if I don't mind the pain... it's not so bad really... just some bruising, nothing more then that... it doesn't need a doctor... I promise it's not broken.. please don't make me see a doctor... please...

"Whoa, calm down kid! I'm not going to take you anywhere you don't want to go. If you say it's fine, it's fine but I do think you should put some ice on it after we get it wrapped properly."
Suoh set to work reapplying the bandage to Kira's hand, wrapping it snugly enough that it should help to restrict movement and help take some of the pressure if she used the hand, but loosely enough that it wouldn't cause any discomfort. His hands were soft and sure as they worked, wrapping from the base of her fingers to just above the wrist and hiding the bruise from view. When he had finished, he tied off the bandage and used his teeth to cut it.
"How's that feel?"

Calming down once the man said that he wouldn't take her to the doctor Kira sat still and kept herself from moving once he started wrapping her hand. Surprised at how gently he was wrapping the hand, Kira smiled slightly. Once he was finished Kira lifted her hand to her face and turned it slightly to see how it was applied, mentally taking notes in her head. Flexing her fingers ever so slightly she winced but it wasn't as bad as it had been.
Smiling up at the man, Kira's eyes shone slightly, happy to have her hand wrapped so that she would be able to do her chores at home. Giving into the impulse Kira lunged slightly forward and hugged the man happily
Thank you!

Oh god it was attacking! When Kira began to lunge forward, Suoh panicked. He thought she was about to fall off the counter, so he moved in to catch her. When she hugged him, he awkwardly hugged her back, patting her lightly on the back. Why did they keep trying to hang off him!
"Hey, uh... No problem, just glad I could, uh... help. So!" he said, fishing around for a topic change. "How do you know my sister?"

Using her good hand to push off of the man, Kira smiled up at him, after all he couldn't be bad if he had fixed her hand so nicely. Tilting her head to the side though she wondered why he thought she knew his sister though. Seeing the resemblance between him and Oki made her curious, she never really mentioned a brother.
Oki-senpai helped me when I needed to be found... I was crying because of Mommy leaving... and Oki-senpai helped me... I think it's because Mommy sent her to me though...
