AN: So, an idea came to me suddenly, and I decided to make something out of my idea; it's probably going to be weird but I'll try my best to make it good. I do not own Seikon No Qwaser or any of its characters. (However I might make one or more up).

Chapter 1 Mafuyu's Point Of View

As I walk behind Sasha, letting him lead the way to our next target, I begin to ponder of the things I had remembered before I became infected with the virus. The Pres. had told me that she liked Sasha and that I should leave him to her because she is so much more confident and likes him, a lot.

One thought lead to another.

Fumika likes Sasha a lot too; he may not respond to her but he had sucked her breasts willingly before mine. And Sasha had sucked Miyuri's and Tomo's breasts a few days after telling me he needed me. I had also found out about what he did with the school nurse…

Before I can continue my thoughts of despair, I hear Sasha stop in his tracks. I look up and find him staring at me. I can't help but blush. The way he looks at me…so intensely and I have to admit, he looks attractive in his new battle uniform.

I shake my head to get the thought out. I look up again and find that he's still staring at me. "What is it? Sasha?"

He looks away from me before saying, "Nothing. We'll rest in a cabin a couple miles from here. Let's keep going for now."

I nod my head as he leads the way again. For a second I thought I was speaking my thoughts aloud. I attempt to push the thoughts away but I can't help and remember one of the compliments he had given Tomo. "You're amazing, be proud of yourself."

He had never said those words to me.

"Sasha, are you sure we'll be safe here overnight?"

"Don't you trust me?"

I blush as I quickly explain, "It's not that, I only wondered…"

Sasha stares at me as he whispers, "You know I'll protect you."

Tears sting my eyes as the words process in my mind. Would he really? I mean, so many other girls, much more suited for him out there, and he's here, saying he'll protect me. I clench my teeth and can't help but mutter, "Why?"

I can tell Sasha is surprised by my doubt due to his lack of words and I can't stop myself from continuing, "There's a whole bunch of other girls that like you out there. Much more confident, much more suited. Girls that have received great compliments from you, Sasha! So I can't believe that you're choosing to protect me. I know what happened a few days after you said you needed me. You sucked on Tomo's and Miyuri's breasts! That doesn't seem like you need me!"

He stares at me, eyes wide, and mouth agape. I begin to cry as I run out of the cottage.

Tears stain my face as I eventually collapse against a tree. I don't know how long I've been running but I can't sense Sasha's presence. I continue to weep as I slide against the tree to the ground. That tundra brat has no idea about how insensitive he can be.

Once I stop sobbing, I hear footsteps. Is it Sasha? I stand up, wiping the tears and snot from my face, preparing for battle in case it isn't Sasha. "Who's there?"

"I don't think you'd recognize me even if I told you my name, Mafuyu Oribe," A male voice mocks.

I stay in place, trying to recognize the voice, but I can't. How does he know my name though? "Show yourself!"

I hear a chuckle and become frightened. What does he want? When I jump out from behind the tree, I come face to face with a boy. My age, maybe older than me? Black hair with dark blue eyes. I am awestruck for a moment.

I regain my seriousness when I find that he's not attacking. I relax a bit though and ask, "What do you want? How do you know my name?"

He grunts, "Athos aren't the only ones that teach the Qwaser's to do research."

"You're with the Adepts or Meotors then?!"

"No need to jump to conclusions, Mafuyu. I work alone. Usually, I help Athos though, except right now. I have to go against one of you to get what I want. Or more like, to get who I want."

I look at him suspiciously and wonder what he means. But for some reason, I begin to worry. What does he mean by that? I have to remain calm until I can find a way to go back to Sasha though.

Sasha's Point Of View

I'm such an idiot! Why didn't I go after her sooner? Mafuyu should know that she can't be replaced though. Do I really have to prove it to her?

As that last thought crosses my mind, I think about what she said. I guess I should have been more considerate. After all, if she was as important as I said she was, then I had no reason to drink anyone else's soma unless necessary.

While I stop to try to think of an apology, I notice my ear piece begins to glow. A Qwaser is nearby? Mafuyu!

AN: Here's the first chapter of my new story. I know it's short but I didn't want to put action in the first one and then suddenly cut it off. Please review ^.^
