[b][u]The Next Day[/u][/b]

The night went by. Taiga had eaten. He wasn't sure exactly when Mahiro had left. Not much of a conversationalist. Not that Lamia was either before she went. He sighed. It was probably because Mahiro didn't really like others. Not guys anyway. But that wasn't the point. Truly it wasn't. He'd been glad when he was alone. He needed time to think. Time to himself, really. He really was upset. Angry, disappointed, frustrated... Weak. Above all else, he felt weak. 

The combination of emotions was why he spent a good deal of the night doing exercises, some secret training. He was exhausted. He'd barely slept. Even when he did he had nightmares. But now he was on his way to school. Dressed, groggy, sleepy, the bandages mostly out of sight. Anything seen could be explained. He sighed. Even with the healing abilities of a devil, it might take a bit to heal up. 

"Hopefully, the day goes by without much of a hitch." He sighed. "I just wanna hurry and get out of school." He mumbled to himself as he made his way to the school and up to his class and then sat down. Soon though his head dropped to his desk.
