There's a severe lack of satsunon out there... I haven't written fanfiction in quite a while, and this is my first kill la kill piece, but satsunon needs more love. Hope you enjoy!

The school bell rang its monotonous trill, signaling that recess was over. For a moment, Nonon let go of Satsuki's hand to glance behind her where her teacher stood, waiting for the class to come back inside.

Satsuki noticed the sudden lack of warmth, but it was only for a moment, for Nonon quickly snatched it right back up.

"Hurry, Satsuki-chan!" Nonon said as she ran to the building, dragging a slightly dazed Satsuki behind her.

She wasn't dazed for long. Her eyes followed the pink strands of hair as they guided her back into the classroom. Her fingers were intermingled into her own and the warmth spread through Satsuki's little five year old body. As their feet rushed across the elementary school courtyard, through the demolished sandcastle and the chittering students, a part of her wished that Nonon was telling the truth.

A part of her wanted that hand to hold.

When they got back into the classroom and their lesson of the tedious basics in marketing, economy, and other miscellaneous humdrum that kindergarten for the aristocratic body taught begun, Nonon could hardly pay attention. Her feet swung back and forth underneath her desk, a sign of restlessness. The statistics of company failures depending on the age of their CEO could hardly keep her attention.

Her teacher's voice droned somewhere in the back of her mind, but in the forefront was Satsuki Kiryuin.

Her charisma.

Her stance.

Her mere presence.

Nonon was awestruck.

Satsuki was always her friend, well, more of an acquaintance that wasn't captured by Nonon's charm. Their parents knew each other as business partners and set up tea parties would occur every once in a while where they wouldn't talk to each other, but Nonon would ogle at her abundance of toys that Satsuki never really played with. She'd always had the slightest feeling of jealousy towards the Kiryuin girl.

Satsuki always looked at the world as if she was on a stepping stool that nobody could see the top of. So tremendous was the altitude of the young girl, that other children could only ever watch the very bottom of her immaculate pin straight black hair, billowing with the resolve and power that only Satsuki Kiryuin could have at the age of five.

In that courtyard that day, Nonon felt as if she could see Satsuki's head, no, her mind, where it brimmed with the thoughts and ideas most would not be able to even glimpse at.

She wondered about Satsuki Kiryuin.

She wasn't sure exactly what she was feeling, other than a strong sense of loyalty and a hint of sudden strong resolve, but she knew that now more than ever, Satsuki Kiryuin was her best friend in the entire world, and she was never, ever, ever going to let go of her hand.

"Satsuki?" she chanced a whisper.

Satsuki turned her head towards her pink friend. Her large eyebrows furrowed together in confusion and she held her index finger to her lips, signaling her to shush and pay attention to the lesson.

"Satsuki, come to my house this weekend" Nonon said in a hushed tone that wasn't all that hushed. Nonon, at the age of five, had not yet mastered the art of whispering.

A pair of legs towered over her, casting the menacing shadow of adult authority, and her eyes followed them up to where her teacher's body was attached.

"Miss Jakuzure, I recommend listening in class for once. Your throng of admirers can wait for the break"

Nonon huffed at the teacher, but her mouth otherwise stayed shut.

She kept her head towards the board for the rest of the hour, albeit not actually absorbing the information.

A slip of paper landed near her foot, and she quickly made sure her teacher wasn't looking before picking it up. Quietly, she unfolded the crease and read the note.

It had one word scribbled onto it, but still, Nonon squealed.

"Miss Jakuzure!" the reprimading voice of the teacher once again interrupted Nonon's bubble of a word.

"Sorry, Sensei" she muttered.

She looked at the slip of paper again.

Ok.

-S

So yeah, pretty short for a first chapter, hopefully it'll pick up. Leave a review!
