Summary: If there was anything you had to do, this was it! My one assignment to help my friends! (Inspired by the newest upload of Chapter 124.) No coupling in this one.

T.K.'s Rant: Please enjoy an episode of my craziness: My project for miscellaneous "assignments." I suppose it's my theme for these one shots. Most will be in an Alternative Universe, but I'll say if it is or not.

For Their Sake:
If there was one thing I needed to do, this was it. Even though I wasn't the class representative, even though I didn't have the power to stop my enemies in front of me, even though the odds were fated against me, I had to stand tall.
I had to.
"Yuuichi! You need to get away from here! If you get captured you'll…!"
"Go to the Hana-hime palace! Natsume and Mikan should be there! Yuuichi run!"
"Tell him we saw him!"
The voices of my classmates and my upperclassmen echoed around me. My alice went into overdrive as cat whiskers popped up on my cheeks.
"Yuuichi!" I shouted, lungs burning.
"Get going! You have to get away!" My voice was shaking, I could feel my hands twitching in fear as the elementary school detention men surrounded us.
This was it. We had to get him out. Even if it cost me my own life.
"Now!"
I saw his little form turning and running. I'd hope I'd be able to see him again.
After this whole ordeal was over that is.
I remembered Ruka-kun talking to me before about how Yuuichi might end up like Natsume-kun if he was caught… but that wasn't going to happen.
Not while Sumire Shouda was around.
"Hey! Get that kid!" I heard the men shout and point towards Yuuichi's direction, and I jumped in front and did the best thing I could.
I bit him. Hard.
"Ah!" I heard him cry out, I felt my teeth biting through flesh, and the horrible taste of blood filled my already hyperactive senses.
"Sumire!"
I heard the voice. It either belonged to Koko or Kitsune. Or maybe both. I couldn't tell anymore.
My determination was to getting this guy's attention on me and only me. Yuuichi could get away and we would get caught.
Funny. I got exactly what I wished for.
My eyes were clenched shut, and my body tensed from fright, I continued to hang onto this man's arm as if my own life was on the line.
I could feel hands trying to pry me away; I could hear the shouting from my classmates as they warned me to let go.
I couldn't catch any of it.
The only thing I did catch though was the heavy thud of something metallic against my neck. The creeping darkness seeping into my vision as I almost fell over. The pain numbing as the seconds went by.
"For… their sake… we must… save…" I whimpered out. My alice de-activated and I spiraled in the warmth known as darkness.
