When she hears her name on the speaker, Kina's face goes completely pale. Slowly, almost automatically, she gets up and walks out the door with the others.
Her face is pale and colorless the entire walk. She doesn't respond to anyone else's words at all.

Thanks to araveugnitsuga for my current Poke-atar.
Ren doesn't look the least bit dismayed by the acts of Reene and her daughter. "I don't mind. She's extremely adorable. Of course she's not as cute as my sister, but then again, no one is." He sighs and shrugs. "Why are you answering my question with questions? Do you have any idea why I might have my hunch?"
Ken notices Kina's complexion paling and gives her a concerned look. "What's wrong? You're starting to look like me.

"Gee Ken, maybe it's because the lot of us got called to the principal's office. And she didn't say "please" with us. Ugh. Should have had Mr. Reiji call in or something..."
A look of inspiration crosses his face as he pulls out his phone and sends a quick text to the cell phone he knows Sadako has. In the text he lets her know that he and his friends are facing some trouble from the principal, and hopes Mr. Reiji could perhaps intervene to at least help lighten the "sentence" a bit.
"I mean, it's not like any of us like the idea of detention or...oh, crap."
He pales a bit himself.
"What if this goes on our permanent records? Like, the ones colleges see?"
Unlike the rest of them, Sora appears unphased by this event. He's pulling out his sketchbook again, popping in his headphones, and settling down to draw.
Back to that sketch of the girl and the boy.
Onii-chan, my hair isn't that long!
That voice was starting to piss him off.

Ken looked to Kaito momentarily. His face was expressionless. "I'm asking because I'm wondering if there is anything else in particular that is making her so uneasy beyond what we already know. I don't think we really have to worry about a single absence we have an explanation for ruining our chances of getting into our future school of choice, especially when we are only in our first month of our first year of senior high school."
"Sorry about this. Look. I think we can keep this from being totally horrible. Um. Maybe you can say you were helping me cope with the sudden danger my parents were in? The principal knows they were attacked once. Me needing moral support from a friend stands to reason. I don't know how far we can stretch it, but if one or two others think they'd get in really deep trouble about this, I think we can swing that. It's true, too. I needed everyone's help yesterday. We all needed each other, I'd say.
But Kina, you don't have to tell us what else is bothering you if you don't want to. Despite the insistence of some of our nosier peers."
Ken once more turned his attention from Kina to Kaito. He continued to maintain a poker face. "All I was trying to do was show my concern for her. She already knows I wouldn't try to pressure her into telling me anything she doesn't feel like sharing with me."
Kina doesn't respond to anyone with words, though she smiles a little when Kaito comforts her.

Kaito gives him such a look.
"You were just doing that when you insisted it was something else, besides worrying about detention or permanent record. Drop it."

Kaito gave a grateful smile to Nakahiro, before going thoughtful.
"Let's see. Izumi and Ren, ideally, won't get punished. You have the note. I can rightfully invoke the involvement of my parents. I mentioned earlier how I could get Kina "off the hook". Um. Like I said, I could maybe invoke one other person with that..."
He shakes his head.
"Ok, in the future, we need a better system for this. That's priority one, in the short-term. Today, though, I dunno. Who else is particularly worried about this being an issue?"
Sora groans. "Could the two of you kindly stop it? I haven't slept in the past 36 hours, and hearing the two of you bicker over nothing is really annoying me. Honestly, some people..."
He stretches, muttering something before saying, "You know Kaito-san there is always the possibility that Lucaster-sensei merely wishes to discuss why so many of us weren't here yesterday. And then we can say 'we were supporting Izumi in her time of need.' And then we'll be off the hook."
He chuckles, blowing at the hair in front of his ruined eye. "Unless someone mentions what we actually did, or spirits or something. After all, Lucaster-sensei has no idea what those are, and now would be neither the time nor place for such an act, considering that we were fighting for our lives instead of being in school. And both of those are against the law for minors."

"I don't see the harm in mentioning I went to see my parents. It is the truth, and it helps, ah, build a better foundation, if you will. Suppose we just play it by ear."
He says nothing one way or another about his arguments with Ken, though he's basically ignoring the jock at this point.
The Doomed
Rex silently listens to the increasing agitation, his back slowly straightening. Finally, he pulls himself to his full hight and, throwing all care for cultural contact sensitivity out the window, firmly moves to grip Ken and Kaito by their shoulders.
"We're all in the same boat here an' bickerin' like friggin' grade schoolers ain't gonna help worth a damn. I'm new to this little group an' don't know who has the hots for who or who's got vendettas, an' right now I don't much care because we've got more on our hands." The hardness in his voice is a far cry from the usual friendliness. "We can have fun with drama all we want once we figure out how we're gonna minimize the damage. Got it?"
Rex steps away and his tone regains some of its usual easygoing nature. "Sorry. I'm kinda on edge right now... you guys all know each other, but I'm pretty much boned. Don't think the principal will buy that I had to comfort a classmate in a school I just got to."
Last Night
"You're right, Norio-san. We just usually think of them more like sports. Uh... are you gonna be helpin' Izumi-san with her sword trainin'? I'm gonna do my best to help her out, but my family really doesn't use close fightin'. Not even my aunt."

Kaito's face drops into a scowl.
"I'm sorry. But you know what, it's been a sucky few days for me, buddy. Not only did both my parents get Hollow-napped yesterday, but our house is still being repaired because the mafia shot it to hell and back. So forgive me if Ken and I still don't get along!"
He threw his hands into the air.
"And I'm sorry you're boned, alright? We didn't make a plan, and so at least some of us are boned. I'm just trying to do what I can, okay?"
'Bad enough I have to deal with Ken's skeezy jock act. I don't need half the group jumping me.'
"Look. Like I said, we play it by ear, and take our licks as they come, alright?"
He's still drawing, mostly ignoring everyone. "I do this all the time, in case you have forgotten Kaito-san. I'll say that I heard about some club or whatever and dragged the rest of you along. It'll work out."
Yatta! Onii-chan's super selfless~
Not now imouto.

Claudia stares at the phone for a moment before picking it up. That... is not a great sign. With trepidation, she flips that phone open.
Spoiler
"...Hello, 01. What do you wish to speak about?"
Spoiler
There is some hesitation before a response is given. Which is rare for 01.
"...You are within close proximity of Project Penumbra Case #1 for much of your daily routine. Such is your duty. Tell me, are you aware of any spiritual activity that the subject has taken part in?"
Last Night

Norio grins. "Oh, yes."
Izumi seems to wilt a little. "I'm doomed."

Ken grabs Rex's hand as it heads towards his shoulder and releases it as soon as he feels it being withdrawn. "I'm sorry, but please don't touch me. You've made your point. I'll be silent. I'm sorry I'm bothering you all."

Reene stands up.
"Does this questioning have anything to do with what happened yesterday? Did your friends outside go out to help you find your sisters?"
Pause.
"Did it involve hollows? Did you fight?"
"Our sisters were abducted by hollows. My friends helped us rescue them. We did fight a bunch. I think we fought five. I really didn't want to be rude to you. I'm sorry I was. I just really wanted to know if you were spiritually aware and I'm very grateful that you told me the truth. I thought when you said you could see them a moment ago you were just annoyed and humouring me. I thank you very much for your honesty." Ren's words sounded quite sincere and he genuinely seemed pretty sorry. To be more specific, he appeared somewhat down and ashamed.

"Amazing. You kids managed to coordinate yourselves to kill a bunch of Hollows, but you can't put your differences aside for something as simple as detention. I am a little disappointed."
Hasunaga walked up to the children as they bickered.
"As a group, you're supposed to stick together. It's great that each of you had your own ideas for how to get yourselves out of this mess, but you're not doing anyone a favor by letting your troubles come between you."
He turned to Sora.
"And playing the martyr doesn't make anyone feel any better, Namikaze-kun. They might be glad they're off the hook at first, but they'll all feel guilty that they left you to hang later. Sometimes selflessness can be a little selfish too."

I met a girl with a really pensive look. I walk up to her, put a fifty cent coin in her hand, "For your thoughts. I know the going rate is supposed to be one, but I figure you play hardball."
She gave it back, "Keep it. Pretty sure a guy with your charm can find a way to have them for free anyway."
