I'm Here For You

Pairing: Murakumo x Shiki

Genre: Drama

Disclaimer: I do not own Senran Kagura or any of its characters.

Author's Note: (jumps and waves) Hello, everyone! My name is Yuri and this is my first Murakumo x Shiki fanfic! Um…even though I haven't played the games, I still think those two are a good pair. And there just isn't enough Murakumo fanfics, so that made me step in and write a story about her because I like her. So, as you all know, this is an AU…because I didn't play the game. *sigh* A-anyway, this is also based on a manga that I read a while ago called "I Am Here", which I loved~! However, not everything is going to be similar to that manga as I'm making this a full on Yuri and not a Love Triangle, which is super hard to do.

Enjoy~! ;)

"What did you get on your test?"

"I got a perfect score."

"Oh, really? I got one, too!"

"I failed."

The two girls look at the third one and laugh.

"Oh, you! You never study!"

"You really have to get into the habit of it, girl!"

"U-um...girls?" a quiet voice says.

"I know right?" the first girl says. "Last time I got a fail, my parents grounded me for 2 weeks!"

"That's not good!" the second girl comments.

"U-um..."

"Someone's behind you," the third girl points out.

Just then, the three girls jump back in shock.

"WHOA!" the first girl cries. "Since when did you get here!?"

The quiet girl stands there nervously with her book clutched against her chest. "A-a couple minutes ago."

"W-we're sorry!" The other girls run off and turn towards a corner, leaving the quiet girl standing there, stunned.

"That was close!" the first girl says.

"She surprised me, though," the second one says. "Did you know she was here?"

"Beats me," the third girl replies.

"What was her name again?"

"I think it was Mirakuma or something..."

The third girl rubs her chin. "The name really escapes me. It's like she wasn't here in the first place."

"I know, right? It's strange."

As the girls walk away, the quiet girl slumps down in her chair, after hearing that conversation. "It's Murakumo," she mutters as she hangs her head down.

Murakumo is a very quiet and shy girl with long brown hair who ofen ties it in a side pony-tail. She attends Gessen Girl's Academy and as far as making friends go, she's been having no luck at all. Not just in high school, but since elementary as well. No one really pays attention to Murakumo, and always treat her like she's invisible. The only question she always asks herself: "What did I do to deserve this kind of treatment?" Even though it's not their intention not to notice her, it just...happens. Why ignore such a cute girl like her?

She sighs sadly as she gets out her materias. "I guess...I wasn't speaking loud enough," she says quietly.

Murakumo can even remember the time she felt very lonely when she thought she made friends with other girls, but...it turned out it wasn't. She was playing "Hide and Seek" with them and when she picked a hiding place, no one found her. No one even bothered to come look for her. She waited...and waited...and waited until she went home crying. After that terrible experience, she was still determined to make friends, no matter what. However, they turn her down again and again, making the shy girl even more lonely than before. Murakumo even wonders if there's anyone that will actually notice her. Class began with her just taking notes and not being called on by the teacher.

The next bell rings and Murakumo is the last one to walk out in the halls to get to her next class. However, she hears some squeals from the other girls and notices them gathered around for some reason. She looks for an opening to see better and notices a girl with long blonde hair and beautiful red eyes walking by everyone and waves.

"She's so…pretty!" one girl squeals.

"She's beautiful!" another says.

"Not only that, but she's really popular!" a third girl says. "She talks on her phone a lot, but also loves shopping! I want to be her friend!"

"Me too! I want to be her friend as well!"

Murakumo stares at the blonde as a blush appears on her face and clutches her books tighter on her chest. She is beautiful, she thinks to herself. Actually, I've never seen girls that pretty before. Wait a minute. Why is my heart beating so fast!? She looks up to notice the blonde stop and stare at her. None of them move a muscle while the other girls murmur some things to each other. D-did she just…look at me? Murakumo thinks to herself. The blonde's stunned face turns into a beautiful smile as she slowly approaches the shy girl. Murakumo backs away a step as she blushes even harder. Now she's coming towards me! she thinks to herself. What should I do!? What should I say!? Ohhh, what should I do!? However, the blonde girl closes gaps between them with her smile remaining on her face.

"Take care, cutie~" She gives Murakumo a wink and then walks by with her blonde tresses swaying gracefully.

Murakumo gasps as she stands frozen from what she just saw. She puts her hand on her chest to feel her heart beating really fast as she swiftly turns towards the blonde.

Who is she? she thinks to herself. And I could've sworn that she just noticed me! She really noticed me when no one else didn't! I'm so happy! But…why is my heart beating so fast? We only just saw each other right?

Shaking her head, she continues onto her next class.

A/N: Sorry for the short chapter, but I'll make it longer for future chapters. And again, I would've known about Murakumo and the other girls of Gessen if I had played the game, but I want it so badly! Watching it might be okay, but it's better for me to play it for myself.

Feel free to give out any suggestions, questions or concerns and don't forget to review~!
