447 Chapter three, 2018, what happens in Kyoto: 10 (2/2)
That meant part of what had happened. The main part was anything but with photos of Noriko racing the net to whoever was interested in the midget who received Kuri's blessing.
”But something did?”
Hitomi swallowed her discomfort when they left the tunnel and air pressure suddenly changed again. ”Yes, something did. She sat with one of her classmates and I didn't see Urufu anywhere.”
Kyoko nodded. The two classes had gone to extremes, just as hers and Yukio's had, when it came to accommodate a famous couple. Well at least she and Yukio were famous before the trip started. ”I don't think they angered anyone,” Kyoko mused.
Hitomi shook her head. ”Noriko certainly did. A lot of people want their fifteen minutes you know.”
”But that's not it,” Kyoko filled in.
A small portion of nuts and rice crackers travelled from bad to Hitomi's hand and then into her mouth. ”No,” she agreed after she had swallowed. ”Even if it had been an issue you just don't piss off the number one among the second years.”
'Especially not when she's an item with the hero number three.' ”Urufu wouldn't keep his distance,” Kyoko said.
Hitomi guffawed loudly enough for a few faces to turn in their direction. ”He just pretends to be aloof. But for all of Noriko's clinging to him like a stamp he's really the needy one.”
”He is, isn't he?”
The two girls exchanged grins of agreement.
”No, this once Noriko needed some lonesome,” Hitomi said.
Kyoko mulled over the last sentence while the train rushed into yet another tunnel and left it mere seconds later.
”I wonder if it's something bad,” Kyoko said when the windows once again displayed small towns and an occasional glimpse of the sea.
”Can't say. Look, Kyoko, I need to catch up on some sleeping.”
Kyoko had to respect that.
”It's not Vegas, but…” Hitomi's voice started sleepily.

'Vegas?'
”I guess we have to accept that what happens in Kyoto…” Hitomi never finished the sentence, and the two of them spent the rest of the ride to Tokyo in silence.
