I think that this one could be fun, and if you guys really like it then I'll try to make more. Luckily it isn't my first one so now I kinda know how to write.

How… did I get here? Was the thought of a just awoken Middle Eastern girl in an infirmary. She touched her forehead and felt a bandage wrapped around it. The part that was on the back of her head was damp with blood. She looked around the room without raising her head. She found it extremely difficult to move her left arm that was under the covers but it was across her chest. She knew the feeling. A broken arm all wrapped up.

Her bed had white sheets and there was a curtain pulled around her bed for privacy. Very close to the bed, there was a black haired teenage boy asleep in a chair. He was wearing a white uniform with red trim. That uniform… IS Academy. Then does that mean… The boy stirred, then woke up and looked at her with tired eyes. He opened his mouth and spoke with a gentle voice and smile. "You're awake now. Welcome to the IS Academy."

The Previous Day

Government Facility, Arabia

"You've been chosen as our representative contender. You're still young enough to be in school. So how's your Japanese?" An official was speaking to her. They were in a private room and she was the only one in a chair. He stood over her, as her guardian. He had been, ever since her parents left her when she was just 6 and he took her in. They died during a terrorist attack, caused by a rogue IS pilot.

"It's fine." She bluntly replied. "Don't they speak English there?"

"Just in case you get lost. But I'll escort you there so that shouldn't be a problem. Lilith Arcadia, are you sure you want to go there? Long way from home."

"Yeah, I'm sure."

"Don't forget that we are trusting you with our prototype IS. Its potential is higher than everything else we have here."

She had devoted her life to becoming an IS pilot ever since she got over their deaths. Lilith wasn't in the building when her parents died. An entire mall fell when the attack happened. The medics brought the bodies out and she was asked to identify the ones she knew. Her whole body trembled when she saw their disfigured bodies. Lilith had anxiety and PTSD that could spring up any time.

"You remember your meds?" The father inside of him was showing.

"Yeah, I got them. Don't worry about me."

"Don't forget about the prescription for them. And I can't help worrying about you. You know that."

She stood up from her chair with a smile and hugged him. He wasn't too much taller than her. "I'll be fine. It's just… school far from home."

"I know you'll do great. I'll be there until I'm sure you're safe. You're growing up so fast and all I've really done is just make sure you grow up right." He planted a small kiss on her forehead. "We're taking a plane to the city, then the train to the school. Pack your bags when you get home."

In that day, they took the plane to Japan and a taxi to the city that the IS Academy had a monorail to as its only way to get there. Her guardian let her run around and buy things that she wanted, after all, she wasn't going to see him for a long time. Her wardrobe also needed to be updated since she looked extremely out of place in Japan. She found a medium blue scarf that she liked, bought it and gave the bag to her guardian.

They were walking together in between stores when Lilith spotted two people in particular. They were wearing the IS Academy uniform but one of them was a male. The other was female with two black ponytails. Lilith recognized him as Ichika Orimura, the only male IS pilot but he was walking away with the girl. She didn't know who the girl was but was obviously another student. They rounded the corner just as Lilith decided to call "Hey!".

Lilith left the bags to her father and gave chase to the couple. She waved back at him after running a length and took off again. His hands were full and he couldn't run after her.

When Lilith caught sight of the couple again, they were rounding another corner. She sighed and ran after them again. The next time, they were walking near a stairway. Lilith managed to catch up and called his name. "Ichika Orimura!"

He turned around to see his caller and Lilith misstepped on the edge of the stairs. She reached out with her right arm and grabbed his hand then proceeded to fall down the stairs with him. The first time she hit the stairs, she hit the back of her head. An obvious concussion. The next time, her entire body's weight landed on her left arm, breaking it.

When all movement stopped, Ichika opened his eyes and found himself on top of Lilith and fairly unharmed. The same could not be said about his cushion. Ichika's hand was also on Lilith's breast and his hand sunk into her body as he tried to get up and he heavily blushed. But he quickly dismissed his embarrassment to focus on the situation at hand.

"What happened?! Is she okay?!" The girl called to Ichika.

"She… fell and dragged me with her. She's knocked out. But I think she's fine." Ichika called back. He moved his hand to the back of her head and felt a liquid in his hands. He looked at his hand and it was stained red. Her blood was in his hands. He immediately checked for a heartbeat and luckily found one. "Houki, she's still alive. We need to get her some help. Her arm's also kinda messed up. I think it's broken." The girl, Houki Shinonono, quickly ran down the stairs to meet him.

"Yeah, we definitely need help." She raised Lilith's head to look at the back of it. "That's gross. How did she know who you were?"

"I'm probably a bit famous. Being the first male IS pilot and all."

"Right. Kinda forgot about that. Now we need to figure out who she is. Anything in her pockets?" Houki patted down Lilith's hips for the pockets and found a phone in one of them. It was an older model. She opened up the emergency contacts and the first person on the list was labeled 'Father'. A man was near the top of the stairs that they had come from. Houki tapped the label and put the phone up to her ear. The man above reached into his pocket and put his phone to his ear. Houki hadn't noticed the man yet but heard his voice over the phone. "Lilith? Where are you?"

"Sir, my name is Houki. I have your daughter here and she's kinda injured." Ichika looked around and spotted the man above. He pointed him out to Houki who turned and looked up at him. "If you look down at the bottom of the stairs, that's where we are. Come down here so you can help." The man looked down, saw them, and hung up the phone. He put it in his pocket, grabbed some bags that he put down, and walked down the stairs.

The man sighed as he caught sight of Lilith. "What happened?"

"She fell and accidentally dragged me down with her," Ichika replied. "Is she your daughter?"

"She's my adopted daughter. Arm's broken and probably a concussion." He noted. "I'm a medic for the Arabian government."

"So can you help her?" Houki asked.

"You two are students at IS Academy, right? She was going to transfer there as a representative contender." As he was talking he pulled out a small medical box. He took out a roll of bandages and started wrapping it around her forehead. "It's just easier to get to the Academy and then complete the treatment. Let's do that." The girl's father started working on her arm. He turned toward Ichika. "You fell too, right? Are you hurt?"

"No, not really. I'm fine."

"Should we fly her to the Academy? You have to take a monorail to get there but this'll be much faster." Houki said.

"Yeah. Just make sure not to go too fast and keep her arm secure. I'll be there soon to speak to Miss Orimura."

"My sister?" Ichika asked.

"I just need to tell her about some things regarding Lilith. Let's get going."

Ichika and Houki deployed their IS units and took off with Lilith in Houki's arms. The man headed for the monorail and was able to get on with his government ID.
