Aiko looked over at Kai. Kazuo was already heading into the house behind Mai. Smirking a bit, Aiko replied, "Right you are, Kaiga. I'll be just fine bringing this to my room. Or I at least hope I will. If not... well... whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right? And rice balls sound good. Might need to go out and buy ingredients, though. I don't know what's in the fridge. Perhaps an ostrich, for all I know." With that, she turned and went up into the house. It was no surprise that Kai had offered to carry her bag to her room for her. Once again, he was being Mister Perfect.
The young lady frowned to herself. If she had to pinpoint a reason she wasn't fond of him, that would definitely be it. He was Kai; a talented piano player, fighter, conversationalist, student, etc. Meanwhile... she was just Aiko; a troublemaker and a quitter. Within the zodiac, everybody loved Kai. If they had to hang out with him for a day, they'd be estatic. But if anybody had to hang out with Aiko for a day, they would dread it. They would constantly check on themselves or around themselves to make sure she hasn't set up any sort of prank, despite how much she assured them she wouldn't.
Okay, so there was one time she said she wouldn't prank someone but she did anyway, so their worry was understandable. But whatever. Live and learn, right?
"Aiko, come check this out!"
Kazuo's voice snapped Aiko out of her train and thought and back into reality. Her eyes widened as she realized she had just been mindlessly staring at a wall. "Coming...!" she said, frantically running a hand through her hair and rushing over to the room where Kazuo's voice came from. When she arrived, he was standing in the middle of the empty space. It was a decently sized room with grey walls and plenty of outlets.
Kazuo smiled at her and pointed up at a corner where a spiderweb was in the process of being made. A large brown spider was skillfully weaving an intricate design. It's movements were gracefull and precise. While Kazuo was in awe, Aiko gasped and immediately backed out of the room, standing in the doorway. "Get that thing out of here! You know how I feel about spiders, especially when they're inside my house!" She exclaimed. Aiko wasn't frightened of much, but spiders were definitely somewhere on the list of things she was scared of. Just the way it had so many legs and could sometimes kill small birds (or in some cases, people) freaked her out. She would much rather hold a worm than an arachnid.
"You're such a baby, I thought for sure you were over that fear by now," Kazuo shot back sternly, crossing his arms. Aiko just stuck his tongue out at him, flipped off the spider, then marched off to go find her room.
