PoT: Third Watch: Sunrise

Fic post from my archive.

Sunrise

The new year starts, unsettling Kirihara a bit until he talks with Jackal. Drama, I-3

The second years he could handle; he had earned what he saw in their faces when they called him Kirihara-buchou. Respect or fear or pride, he had earned it. But the glow in the first years' eyes, the awe in their voices when they whispered to each other about him, that made him twitchy.

Sad, I should be commenting on this fic too!

Jackal gets so little attention, it's nice to see him getting development. I like how different he is from the rest of Rikkai in this piece, showing how much of a strength he is to Kirihara, who is learning... well, everything. Kirihara's awesome.
