Welcome back! After a few reviews, I've finally mustered up the courage to continue this story! It's a new record!
Inner thoughts.
Kamui speech.
Normal dialogue/description.
To SminlingStarcat, you'll get your fluffy sisterly scenes eventually.
To damned wolf warrior, worry not, all will be explained, at some point in time (Which may be never).
To Miwokgirl101, Sorry, I already had that planned out. But thanks for the suggestion. Also, what do you mean by "NB"?

Shadow: Still haven't got the rights to Kill La Kill...
Ryuko: How many time do I have to tell you to get off your ass and go into the business of Assassination?
Shadow:... Never before?
Satsuki: Well, considering your skill set, you'd make a decent assassin, at least able to kill a few highly renowned politicians.
Shadow: Hmmm... Perhaps, but that's for another time, another story. Now ladies, if you would please?
Ryuko: Let us-
Satsuki: Begin the story.
Chapter 2
How do I put this?
"Satsuki Sama! Are you alright?"
Why the hell does my head feel like it's splitting apart..."
Satsuki Kiruyen, or rather, Satsuki Matoi was a dignified woman. Never showing weakness, always prideful, incredibly powerful, beautiful, she was the epitome of a strong woman.
But just this once, in the presence of her oldest friend, she allowed herself to complain.
"Did anyone catch the number of the truck that hit me?..." She groaned, soreness evident in every fiber of her being. She had after all, nearly just died from a Life Fiber orbital strike.
Soroi was in shock. First his young charge had seemingly grown several years older, had cut her hair, and was injured to the point of near death, all after appearing in a flash of bright light in her tower's communications room, while all the others had fallen asleep. She even cracked a joke, and never before had she ever made a joke! He could have sworn that she was sleeping earlier when he went to check up on her! A multitude of thoughts rushed through his head, all of them related as to who this person was.
As the strange woman pushed herself up into a sitting position, Soroi's thoughts ran rampant through his head at seeing the person's face.
Could she have been an imposter? But no, this was undoubtedly Lady Satsuki. No one else could truly pull off the sense of both regality and strength that she alone could emit, even while injured so severely.
Not quite recovering from his shock, but enough to speak, Soroi asked the unthinkable.
"Lady Satsuki? Why are you up?"
Snapping her head up, the enigmatic young woman weakly asked,
"Soroi? Who else made it back?"
Confusion became evident on his face as he attempted to make heads or tails of this information.
Made it back? What does she mean by, "Made it back"?
Unable to comprehend her words, Soroi did the next best thing. He couldn't play along, for she would have seen through him immediately, and so instead opted for the most respectful alternative, telling the truth.
"My apologies Lady Satsuki, but I haven't the faintest clue as to what you talking about. Might I inquire as to who you are talking about?"
Satsuki was silent for a moment, analyzing this new information without all the available brainpower she had at her disposal, and she had a lot of brainpower.
Damn it, that technique seems to have not allowed the others to return... If not even Soroi can remember, I doubt the elite four, or for that matter anyone at the other academies will remember me. Unless Ryuko made it back too... She must have considering the fact that she performed it. Heh, well if she did, she's probably thinking about how this is all a dream, or in denial of her past- wait.
Rewinding her brain's memory banks back to a few seconds ago, she attempted to remember what it was that Soroi had just asked.
"Why are you up?"... Shit.
God fucking shit.
My past self is here.
So is Ryuko's.
Two Satsukis, two Ryukos. Hehehe, I'm not sure the world could survive that many.
"Soroi."
The man who was her butler, yet not her butler, snapped to attention.
"Yes Lady Satsuki?"
"I need you to listen to me very closely. However this may seem strange, bear with me would you?" Satsuki gravely said, apprehension in her voice as to how she would explain all of this.
"Lady Satsuki, in the span of the 18 years of your life has been, I have witnessed the birth of Life Fibers, your mother's insane plots, the sheer madness of this world, and many other such things while at your side. How could I not listen to you?" Soroi firmly spoke, determination present in his voice as he truthfully spoke to his charge, all the while setting tea for her.
Satsuki allowed herself a small smile at the trust that Soroi still had in her. She'd known that Soroi was loyal to her, having grown up together, but regardless, it was comforting to know that no matter how much she changed, he would be there, offering support and tea like always.
Drinking from the cup of tea (She noticed that it was her old cup, and still lovely as always), Satsuki began to delve into the tale that was her life from this time period on.
"It all started with the death of Isshin Matoi..."
To the people of the world, I, no, we will not fail this time. Ryuko, wherever you may be, I pray that you made it back with me. For without you, I would be lost to the abyss, forever doomed to loneliness.
But no matter what, I will change this past. I WILL change our future, for the better.
