[I'm retro-actively using this as Nozomi's default appearance. The previous faceclaim is to be ignored and replaced with this]
Nozomi took a quick shower to wash away the sweat and dirt off of her body after the brief excursion with Momotaro. She stood under the shower and closed her eyes, letting the water from the shower-head land upon her face. With a flicker of the lights, the electricity turned off in her apartment, leaving a glowing woman in the shower. She radiated more than enough light to light up the bathroom. A little groan crossed her face while she rinsed the soap from her hair and body, turning the water off. It was easy for her to find her way around the darkened apartment due to being a walking lamp in the darkness. She dried herself off and made her way to the bedroom. She stopped by the full-sized vanity in her room and looked at herself. A glaring light from her body reflected off of the mirror's surface. A look of displeasure crossed her face for a brief moment. She didn't feel human any more. A small price to pay for a second chance at life.
Before getting dressed, she walked over to her night-stand with the electric bill laying out. It said her bill was paid on-time so the fact that the electricity was cut was quite bothersome. She took this time to get dressed and even put on a little bit of make-up. Not too much make-up to be a mask upon her face, but just a little bit to make her presentable. She was a natural beauty, but it didn't mean she couldn't use a little bit of help. Just the same amount she used prior to this engagement. After getting dressed and was ready to go, she equipped her bag-of-holding, her Starbringer Sword, and Spear of Destiny. She walked out of the apartment and went to lock the door to the apartment before seeing a shadow out of the corner of her only remaining 'good eye'. She turned her head to look at the shadow for a moment. A figure at the end of the long hall, a silhouette of someone stood at the top of the stairs leading to this floor.
"We found you, Kanagawa Kozue. You WILL suffer for your wrong-doings. Expect us," said a horrid voice echoing throughout the hall. The sound was more than enough to piece into her skull, causing head-pains forcing her to turn her attention away from the figure. Once the pain subsided, the shadowy figure was no longer there and the lights to the apartment returned. She returned to locking her door with a shaken hand. "They knew my real name. Who the hell was that? Why do they know my real name?" she asked herself. An unfamiliar feeling could be felt. Fear. She hadn't felt this emotion in many, many years. The power of the sun returned these emotions back to her and she didn't like this in the slightest. She tried to lock the door only to drop the keys on the ground.
Kneeling to pick up the keys, she placed a hand upon her forehead. "Who are they and what do they want from me? I've atoned for my sins when I was younger so why are they coming after me?" she asked before grabbing the keys, quickly locking the door and rushed down the hall towards the stairs. At this time, she had her Spear of Destiny equipped, clutching it firmly while she walked through the now-lit hallway. Her neighbors that saw this gave her an awkward look as she quickly descended the stairs and poured out of the apartment building. She felt the sun upon her face which gave her comfort. The sun was mere moments from entering twilight. She was still quite paranoid on whether or not these people were going to come after her while she was treating Momotaro to dinner. No, they wouldn't be stupid enough to strike with a large concentration of shinobi around -- would they? Placing the spear back over her back, she made her way towards the school once more.
This was where she told Momotaro to meet her before leaving to get something to eat. She knew of a good place in the Susukino District. She appeared quite, early which caused her to be alone for a brief moment, causing the paranoia from earlier to swell. She tried her damnedest to keep the feeling of paranoia and encroaching fear under-wraps; to not worry her new student.
