"I think," Oki said slwoly, "that she probably felt comforted to have you so near. Death isn't something to be afraid of or angry about, imooto-chan, it's another part of life. Our time with the ones we love wouldn't be nearly so precious if it would never end. Maybe your mother knew that when she left you, which would make her sad, she'd be an angel and be able to look after other people, too."

Nodding her head Kira moved her hands to pull lightly at the bottom of her dress that she was wearing.
Oki-senpai... I... I know I shouldn't be... but the thought of leaving... of dying... it scares me...

Oki slid down off the desk so she could kneel in front of Kira, pulling her in close for a hug.
"Ssshhh," she soothed. "You're only you, Kira-chan. You have a very long time to go before the thought of dying should ever occur to you."

Easily accepting the hug, Kira closed her eyes and faught back the tears that wanted to fall. Instead of holding on tightly to Oki she made sure not to hold too tight so that she wouldn`t hurt the older girl, scared she would cause the other pain.
I know it will happen some day... but I don't want to leave, Oki-senpai... who will help Outo-sama... and... I don't want to leave you...

Oki drew back slightly and brushed some of Kira's hair back out of her face. "We'll likely be gone before you, imooto-chan. But you shouldn't worry about us."

Leaning slightly into Oki's hand Kira closed her eyes and sighed deeply, forcing her breath to work with her.
I'm still scared, Oki-senpai... what if... what if Kaa-chan can't wait... and she isn't there when I die?

"Time moves differently for them, imooto-chan. Don't worry, she'll be there."

Nodding her head, Kira decided to trust Oki on the matter, after all so far Oki hadn't lied to her or done anything bad to her. Sighing heavily Kira spoke
Okay, Oki-senpai... just promise that you wont leave me too soon...

"I promise," Oki said solemnly. "I'm not going anywhere for a long time."

Nodding her head, Kira blinked back the tears that had wanted to fall, trying to once again dry her eyes. Her arms still around the older girl, scared to let go while she was feeling vulnerable.
Then I'll try not to be scared of it anymore, Oki-senpai... I'll try to accept it like Kaa-san...

Oki held Kira close, rubbing her back to try and comfort her.
"Kira-chan," Oki said on an impulse, "I want to give you the address of my apartment, in case you ever need anything. I don't care what time of the day or night it is, but if you ever need anything, you go there, alright?"

Moving her head up from to look directly at Oki Kira blinked. Her eyes showed how hopeful she was no matter how cautious. Even when her mother had been alive she hadn't really gone to someone's house before, her mother preferring her to invite her few friends over.
I wouldn't want to bother you, Oki-senpai... but... if you want to... amd you aren't busy... I would like that very much...
Although she knew that unless it was something drastic she wouldn't want to bother Oki it still made her feel a connection that the older girl was willing to offer to have her over some time. Somehow she didn't feel so lonely anymore.

Oki nodded and jotted the address down clearly on a piece of paper, handing it to the girl. "I'm never too busy for you, sweetheart. If you ever need me for anything, and I don't care how small a thing it is, you come and find me. I don't care if you're just lonely or scared, you're always welcome. You can even play with the owls! I'm sure they'd love to meet you."

Nodding her head, Kira took the piece of paper and slipped it into one of the small hidden pockets inside of her dress. Smiling softly even with her face stained with her earlier tears, Kira happy hugged Oki, thankful for the option of having somewhere to go when things got too tough for her.

Oki smiled. You should go wash your face imooto-chan, before the other students get here. I have to go into my office for a litte while, and to meet with some of the other teachers before class starts. Will you be alright on your own? There are some swings outside; you don't have to stay in here."
Oki stood, tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ears. If the girl was still nervous, she'd stay with her. Her work could wait if it had to.
