My second shot at Blue Drop. I read a bit of the manga and I kinda get it... I think... but anyways the anime is more appealing to me so here this is. (As usual I don't ever proofread these until after they're posted so grammar and spelling will be updated shortly. So... enjoy!


"Mari, we can't stay here we've got to go." said a voice I couldn't directly recognize. I felt them tugging on my arm. But I couldn't tear my eyes away from that bright light in the sky. I'm certain that's where she went. I'm just as certain she may not come back. But if I wait for her maybe... no that's crazy. A dark haired figure blocked my view of the sky crashing me back down to realty. Smoke and cinders, explosions and chaos was what I was standing in the midst of. There in front of me was Miss Sugawara.

"Mari... there's nothing more we can do for her. We've got to get out of here." she urged as she spun me around and pushed me towards the others who looked just as stuck as I was. "The rest of you, too we've got to get out of here. Can't you see were in danger? Get your heads out of the clouds! Let's move!" she barked as she extended her arms to push Mich and Akane along. The Dorm Chief and Hagino's trio of fans followed after one more glance at the sky that I wish I could have borrowed from them. I held my head down and tightened my eyes shut to hold in the tears.

"Such an idiot... Hagino..." I grumbled through clenched teeth. "What are we supposed to do now?"

"Mari..." I think Michiko said. She placed a hand on my shoulder. I couldn't gather the strength to shake it off even though I really wanted to. We kept going, I'm not sure how far but we got a to small white bus, probably one of the school shuttles for commuter students.

"Everybody get in, quick." Miss Sugawara slid open the back door and we all jumped in as she settled in the drivers seat. Mich sat next to me on the first row of seats Akane and the Dorm Chief sat behind us and Hagino's fan girls behind them. I'm not sure where she got keys from but she started the vehicle and we sped off. "We've got to find a way out of all this."

"This is crazy! Why are aliens attacking us? Aren't these supposed to be Hagino's people?" Akane asked, there was an unfamiliar sound of fear in her voice.

"They're not like her." I said softly.

"Why are they attacking here?" Dorm Chief asked in her usual over dramatic voice.

"I hope Miss Hagino's okay. Even though it seems pretty unlikely. Yeah." said the trio in their respective order.

"Whatever she did up there... it was really brave." Michiko sighed her voice shaking.

"It was really stupid." I growled. "She always takes everything upon herself. Always takes full responsibility for everything. And she never has to. It wasn't brave what she did... it was damn stupid. And now she's dead..."

"Mari!" Mich said with a raised voice.

"Did you not see what she did?" Akane said with the same pitch.

"How could you say that? That's not very nice. And I thought you two were friends." the trio chimed in.

"Leave her alone, girls." Miss Sugawara said. "She's hurt just like the rest of us are. Just give her some time." I stared at the floor, refusing to look at anyone. I didn't wanna see anyone's face. Except for Hagino's so I can beat some damn sense into her. Always trying to be the hero. Who exactly was she trying to save? I could feel my body shaking, ready to let out all the emotion I was holding in. I wasn't ready to cry yet. I can't cry now. I'm too angry. My vision started to blur and I could feel heat coming from my eyes. Hot tears that couldn't be held in any longer fell from my eyes onto my shoes. I tried to cover it up from everyone else. I couldn't cry after all that, but at this point I didn't care. No matter how mad I am at her. I can't stop myself from loving her. Not for a second. I felt my breath starting to choke back in my throat and more tears falling from my eyes until I found myself sobbing uncontrollably on Mich's shoulder.

"Well it seems that the further inland we go the less alien resistance there is." I heard Miss Sugawara say. "At least she kept them back long enough for us to get away," I could feel everyone's eyes rest on me. But I couldn't stop crying long enough to give a reply, even less had a reply to give.

"Well, what will we do about our families?" Mich said, voice still shaking.

"Well, Michiko, as harsh as it sounds we can't worry about them right now." Miss Sugawara said in a pretty cold tone. "All we can do is make sure we all survive long enough to look for them later." That set an overbearing silence throughout the bus. With the exception of my sobs of course. I'm sure everyone could already guess that that was the case already.

"So where are we headed now?" Akane asked, trying to keep a level head for the rest of us.

"Hopefully to an evacuation center, if they aren't blown to bits by now." Sugawara replied. "But you girls try to rest let me worry about the details. I'll let you know when it's time to move." Everyone gave a silent agreement. I felt myself starting to regain control of my crying so I tried to ease my breathing back to a normal level. Yet the pain of the spear through my heart was still there. I decided to take Miss Sugawara's advice and try to let myself rest before we had to take action again. I made myself a bit more comfortable on Mchiko's shoulder. I looked up at her to make sure it was okay. She gave me a small smile, very small, before she rested her head on mine. I could feel slender hands squeeze my shoulder that I'm sure belonged to Akane.

"We're here for you, pipsqueak." she said softly. I heard everyone else behind me confirm their agreement. I closed my eyes as I felt her hand lift from my shoulder and let the bumping and swaying of the bus help guide me to sleep.
