There was a whisper, a small one, immediately followed by a harsh "SHHH".
Nonon's, Satsuki deduced.
She wanted to laugh. Did they really, truly, believe they could sneak up on her; Satsuki Kiryuin?
She counted the footfalls; one, three, eight. Eight? With eyes still shut a smirk slid across her lips.
Although she was neither surprised nor shocked that four people, one of whom being Nonon Jakuzure, were currently creeping up to her bed at 3am whilst they believed her to be asleep, the question still remained as to why.
That question was quickly answered, however, when an argument broke out between 2 pairs of the eight feet.
"Are you sure, Matoi?" Nonon whispered dryly.
"I told you, I was…"
Painful momentary silence.
A sigh.
"I was cuddling her the other day and I was petting her head and then jokingly pet her eyebrows and i heard purring." Ryuko finished.
"You two had better shut up or she's going to wake up and skin us all alive"
Sanageyama. So that was six of the eight feet identified.
"Although Sanageyama is indeed correct in applying caution in such a situation, I would like to interject that I have made the necessary calculations, and Lady Satsuki should be deep in REM sleep by this point, and far less likely to wake up."
Ahh, so the student council was paying her a visit; how kind of them. The ever-faithful Gamagoori didn't seem to be present however, perhaps more opposed than the others to the thought of watching his Lady while she slept.
"Just shut up and watch, turtle-neck. I'll show you." Ryuko growled as silently as she could.
Satsuki knew they couldn't see her in the dark, and thus allowed herself a Cheshire Cat grin as Ryuko's hand neared the strike zone.
It was mere millimetres from making contact now and Satsuki readied herself as Ryuko's warm fingertip touched a single hair of her left eyebrow.
"RYUKO MATOI!"
She heard Ryuko's yelp, Nonon's squeak and Sanangeyama's quiet swearing.
"A KIRYUIN'S EYEBROWS ARE NOT FOR PETTING! THEY KILL AND CONSUME ANY WHO DARE TOUCH THEM!"
