With a soft sigh the dark haired girl shifted the legs that had been tucked under her to one side and turned a page in the book she was reading. The buzz of noise from other students around her hardly bothered her anymore. After almost a year she had adapted fairly well.
Miho flipped another page in her book thoughtfully, it was hard to believe that it had been almost a year. Time had passed surprisingly fast. She could still remember the terror of her first day as if it were yesterday though. A slight smile passed over her face as she realized that they never had actually picked a class president, and after all that fuss too. Somehow the teacher had just let it drop. Possibly because he'd been uncomfortable with the tension it was causing. She didn't really know.
She hadn't seen Tarii outside of class or even really spoken to her since that day and she didn't have any plans to change that. The girl had been out to get her, that much she was still sure of. She was also almost positive that her paranoia about Tarii wasn't just because of her dislike of people in general.
With another sigh she brushed the memories from her mind and buried herself back into her book.

Tarii sighed in distress. She was quite unraveled right now, as she forgot her glasses in her last class. Her eyesight wasn't horrible, mind you, but it definitely needed optical assistance. A pack of prescription contact lenses was nesting in her home at the manor and the teacher locked his classroom up for lunch, so she was at a total loss at this point. Most people appeared as blue and yellow blobs, but if close enough she could make out their faces. As for text, well she could barely see it unless it was outstandingly big and bold.
Right now she was stumbling through what she thought to be the garden, and could only hope that someone was caring anything that would help her. She didn't have a watch on her right now so at this point lunch could end next year. It was a good thing she wasn't at all clumsy like Mitsuko, otherwise she would be in an ambulance heading towards the hospital at this point in the hour.
Of course it would have helped if she noticed an old pet peeve of her's, Miho, sitting near the edge of the garden of roses and violets which she encountered Mitsuko at earlier in the year. Of course, she would have remembered the moments if she could even see that it was there. That and she didn't even have much of an idea where she was!

Miho flipped another page in her book, not bothering to glance up at the people around her. One of the violets next to her drooped slightly and brushed her ankle. With annoyed noise she brushed it away as it started to tickle her. With a soft sigh she flipped the last page in her book, read it and flipped the book closed.
Sitting up she reached for her bag to put the book she had been reading away and the fish out a new one. Glancing around absentmindedly she spotted Tarii and blinked slightly. The girl wasn't wearing the glasses that she had taken to wearing during the year and looked rather lost. That was odd, but not odd enough to tempt Miho into approaching the other girl. Tarii found too much delight in tormenting Miho for Miho to give her that much of an opportunity to do it.
Tugging another book out of her bag she grumbled in annoyance as it seemed to be stuck on something. Pulling it out with a hard yank she couldn't help muttering a curse under her breath as her iPod flew out and right into Tarii's path. Sighing again she rose to retrieve it.

Tarii frowned. She was surely caught somewhere in a maze and if she couldn't see how could she possibly get out? If she was late to her class and counted as skipping then not only she could get demoted to Class C or D but she would definitely be scorned at by her father. And Baba finding out would mean even more lashing! Oh this isn't good. I need a sign, any sign. Preferably one that could lead me out of this trap.
The sign came in the form of a small object, landing softly near her. Just because she was semi-blind didn't mean she was deaf. Something had just fallen near her, not too far at all. Tarii turned her head and looked down to see a small electronic device. She quickly snatched it off the ground, bringing it to her eyes for closer inspection, to find it was an iPod. If this fell here though...that means!-
"Whoever it is can you tell me your name?" She asked the air, wondering if someone would answer (that is: the owner of this iPod). "I forgot my glasses in my classroom so I can't see too well. Class is going to begin again soon, and I need to find my way back."

Almost reaching her iPod Miho barely stopped herself from groaning out loud as the other girl picked it up. Great, she really didn't feel like dealing with Tarii right now... not that she ever felt like dealing with her. With an annoyed frown Miho brushed her bangs back out of her eyes and studied the other girl for a moment. For some reason Tarii didn't seem to recognize her.
Glasses? Oh. That explained both why Tarii didn't have her glasses and why she didn't recognize Miho but... "To well? I'm guessing you can't even see me clearly if you have to ask who I am."
Her head tilted to one side and a smirk lingered around her mouth for a moment. It would be so easy to lead the girl somewhere and then rush off to class... Miho sighed softly. She wasn't really that mean though. "I'm in class B with you so I'll take you back when I go. We still have a little while until we have to get back" She pointed to the little digital readout on her iPod that displayed the time. She was going to avoid indentifying herself to Tarii if at all possible, it might keep the other girl from tormenting her on the way back to class.

Tarii pondered at who could own the voice. This person was clearly a girl and was from her class; but she was never good with voices to begin with. She identified better with faces, and what do you know- she's part-blind now! Well she might as well go along with whoever this is; it was better than nothing.
Without even looking at the iPod itself for the time Tarii nodded, still not turning to face whoever was to lead her. "Very well. And just in case- until you lead me directly out of this maze of a garden I'll be holding onto your iPod as collateral." Tarii was never a very liked person. If anything someone would probably want to trick her and that is something she wouldn't have.
An iPod to kids in this school was quite cheap, but that didn't mean they wanted to spend their money on a new one and spend time having to screw around with it until they go it just the way they wanted.
"Oh, and before we go- you might as well tell me your name," Tarii chimed, looking uninterestingly at the iPod, "after all you are in my class. But I'm sure if this is /your/ iPod you must have some record of your name in it."

Collateral huh? Well it definitely seemed as if the other girl hadn't changed at all since the beginning of the year. At least in the sense that she was still extremely suspicious of others and very likely to do things that most people would find annoying. The amusing fact was that Miho didn't particularly care about her iPod. It just had a random jumbling of songs on it that she liked. It wouldn't take her all that much effort to just buy a new iPod and upload her iTunes onto it.
However unlike what she was assuming about Tarii she had changed a bit from the beginning of the year. Although she still didn't trust people by any means she had learned how to deal with them much better, and without acting quite as mean as she had felt she had to at the beginning of the year.
"Allllright then." She shook her head slightly. "Though what on earth would you do with my iPod if I were to run off and leave you here? It's doubtful that you'd like most of what's on it. My tastes in music are... to say the least, quite eclectic."
Great. So much for that idea. "Quite demanding aren't you? First you want me to lead you back to the classroom, then you take my iPod and now you want my name." She'd tell Tarii her name but nothing said she couldn't be sarcastic about it and she would most definitely take her own sweet time about it. "I actually don't think my iPod would. Unless someone other than me entered it. Anyway, we've already met. Tamura Miho."

Miho...
On the list of people she would least want to be stranded on a deserted island with Tamura Miho's name was on it for sure. The two were not very good friends and even somewhat of enemies. Apparently a little joke went too far with Miho and now the other girl hates her for life.
Tarii rolled her eyes. Quite unkind but true. Honestly she had no real clue how an Ipod worked. She knew what they were but then again she never had much taste for music herself. Nature was much more of an appealing sound to her ears. Nevertheless. "I'm sorry for doing this to you, Miho, but you see my eyesight is well...lets just say I can't exactly see whats going on right now. Usually I wouldn't do this, but I fear that if I don't bribe you then you might just leave me here."
"We don't have the best relationship after all," she made a puckered frown and sighed. Honestly she didn't think Miho would leave her but then again anything is possible, right?

Miho lifted a hand to brush a stray hair out of her eyes. It appeared that Tarii had as much of a high opinion of Miho as she had of the other girl. Though it was fairly understandable, with the way she'd been at the start of first year she would have simply left Tarii here to fend for herself.
She chuckled softly. "You seem to have quite the opinion of me." Reaching down for her bag she tucked a couple of things that had fallen out into her bag and shouldering it, rose.
"Back to the classroom, yes? Are you okay just following my shape?" Leading the other girl by the hand just seemed like it would be awkward.
While it was true that she had changed quite a bit over the past year, some of her sarcastic personality still remained and she couldn't help the giggle that escaped. "I doubt that your doing it TO me, losing your glasses seems a rather troublesome way to annoy me." She grinned at the other girl, forgetting she couldn't see it. "There are much easier ways to annoy me."
