Usually Kido wouldn’t let herself be caught outside in this kind of weather. Then again, she was only out in it at this point due to the fact that she had been out shopping for a couple of things that they needed back home when the rain started– As a matter of fact, she had to cut her trip pretty short, considering how she didn’t plan on getting completely soaked to the point where she would have to change clothes as soon as she arrived back home.
With a couple of bags on the bench next to her, Kido sat at the bus station, her earbuds in. It wasn’t too far of a walk from here to the base– But with the way that the rain was pouring down, she’d rather sit in some sort of shelter until the rain calmed down a bit. She wasn’t in too much of a rush– It wasn’t like she’d picked up anything that needed to be put in the fridge instantly. She’d decided to save that sort of stuff for another day, considering the rain.
So, as she waited for it to stop raining quite as hard, the Commander of the Mekakushi Dan was sitting at the bus stop, listening to music– Her eyes that crimson color that she’d hated so much when she was younger. Now, however? It was useful to have, especially in situations like this. She wasn’t forced into conversations that she didn’t want to have, and she could sit back and relax without having to worry about getting any weird looks– Or, at least, that’s what she’d thought.
It’d been by chance, honestly. She’d taken a moment to glance up from her phone, having just sent a text to one of her siblings to let them know that she’d be home soon; that she was just waiting for the rain to let up a bit before she made the final stretch. As she looked up, out of the corner of her eye, she’d noticed something– Well, someone. A quick glance to her right, she confirmed what she’d seen out of her peripheral vision– A young man, who appeared to be no older than she was, was looking directly at her. Which was… odd. No one should be able to see her when she was using her power. She could still feel the slight heat from her eyes, so she was certain that she hadn’t mistakenly deactivated her power– With that in mind, a small concern came up. How was he able to see her, if she was assuming right?
Though that couldn’t be the case, could it? Even if someone saw her, surely they would have come to sit at the stop, much like she had? Not… stand in the rain, staring as they got soaked. Kido was silent for a few moments, mulling her options over–
Before finally allowing her eyes to fade back to their normal, dark color, allowing herself to be noticed. Frowning just a bit, she met the man’s gaze.
“It’s not polite to stare,” she stated, her voice loud enough to hopefully be heard by the other.
