At the moment the door of the room slammed, Jean screamed joyfully:

- Come at me, Krista! A wonderful experience is coming!

- Yeah, you're right! - the blonde girl replied. - A wonderful experience! I'm glad that you aren't resisting like my cute girl Erena did... - she sniffed scoffingly.

Cute girl Erena? Wow, so that annoying brat is into crossdressing? Jean laughed, feeling his victory. Such an interesting fact to tell to the others! But looks like soon there will happen some even more exciting thingies...

Krista smiled at him friendly and said:

- I love horses and I love to be loved. Do you love me, Horseface?

Jean got confused a little. He didn't even pay attention that the girl called him a Horseface.

- If I say that I don't love you, will you do nothing to me? - he asked.

Krista shook her head and answered him:

- Nope, I will just make you love me.

Make him love her? Wow, looks like things are gonna get hot! Jean felt embarrased a little. Krista will be his first girl... Whatever!

- Ok, then I don't love you! Oh, cute Krista, come here and make me love you! - Jean screamed joyfully.

After a second they heard Ymir roaring in the corridor:

- Horseface, what have I told you? If you make my girl to do something that she doesn't want...

- Ymir, it's alright! - Krista interrupted the woman.

Silence for a moment. Then the blonde suddendly turned at Jean, still smiling, and said:

- So, the situation is like this: I have to make you love me, right?

Jean hopefully nodded his head, and Krista continued:

- I wonder... how could I make you love me?

Jean was surprised. Just a little.

- You're still thinking? - he asked. - Come here and take away mine masculine virginity, and I'll love you forever.

The good boy Jean had never talked to any girl like this before. No surprise that he blushed and his talk sounded stupid even to himself

. No surprise that Krista laughed. The girl laughed hard and for so long that she fell down on the floor, hardly breathing. Several minutes passed until her laughter finally stopped and Krista finally was able to talk again.

- Well, Horseface, - she said, unbelievingly shaking her head. - I never thought that you could...

- Ok, ok, - Jean interrupted her. - I know I sounded stupid, but... you've already...ummm... slept with Eren... and your Sacred Rule says...

Krista's hand covered his mouth.

- Wait a second, - the blonde said strictly. - What has Eren exactly told you about our Sacred Rule of Morality?

The girl took her hand off Jean's mouth so he could speak. The banded boy explained:

- That annoying brat said that every boy who enters the girl's dorm gets thirty minutes to spend with every girl alone in this room.

- This part is true, - Krista replied. - Has he told you anything more?

- He told me... ummm... - the poor virgin boy Jean blushed again just thinking of saying it out loud. - He told me that during that time they have sex in... various poses... and...

Krista's laughter interrupted him again. Jean anxiously watched her squirming of laughter on the floor. This time, her laugh was even louder and it took even longer for Krista to calm down. Finally, Krista wiped away her laughter tears and snorted:

- Poor, poor Horseface... You've been fooled. The Rule doesn't say anything about having sex. Girls just torture boys during that time, that's all.

Jean was taken aback, but he still tried to save the situation:

- But, Krista, still... You say you want to be loved, right? If you... if you do... do it with me, I swear that I will love you forever!

- No! - Krista snarled out. - I'm a human girl, and I'm not interested in having sex with horses. I may be sick a little... But I'm not THAT sick! Instead of horses, I'd prefer Ymir.

- Then I won't fall for you, - Jean answered angrily. - And, besides, I'm not a horse!

- Yes, you are! - Krista came to the darkest corner of the room. - And you will love me!

- So, you agre...

- Of course no! I have other ways to make a horse to fall for me, - the girl replied.

- What ways?!

Krista didn't reply. She came into the dark corner of the room. The darkness hided her from Jean's eyes. For some time none of them talk a word. But there was no absolute silence. Jean heard some kind of rustling and hissing from the dark corner where the girl had hidden herself. Finally she came back, carrying with herself an armful of dusty straw that mostly contained oats and clovers.

- You keep straw in a corner of a room?! - Jean asked.

- Yup. I love snakes. Snakes love Ymir and live everywhere where she lives. Snakes build their nests in a straw. It's safer to keep snakes in a corner of a room than in Ymir's bed, - Krista explained.

- You are gonna make me into a snake's nest, or what? - Jean frowned.

Krista mockingly shook her pretty head, giggling like a maniac, and answered:

- It's an interesting idea, but I'll save it for later. No. I need straw for making you love me.

- It will help you to take away my masculine virginity? - Jean asked, blushing hopefully.

- Forget your masculine virginity, Horseface!- Krista giggled again. - I know another way to make you fall for me! You see, animals love those, who give them food, don't they? So, my dear horse, if I give you some straw, you'll love me forever...

- I'M NOT A HORSE! I'M HUMAN! HUMANS CAN'T EAT STRAW!

Wow, Jean had never screamed so loudly. Never. He surprised himself.

- Of course, humans can't eat straw, - Krista replied indifferently. - But horses love them.

The girl put the straw on the floor near the Jean. One her hand stroked his hair, then it slipped on his cheek, carressing his face. Her gentle fingers gripped Jean's chin. Suddendly, Krista leaned her face down, pressing her fragnant lips against his.

His first kiss! Yeah! Jean was eager to put all his desire into it. He slowly opened his lips...

This movement was all that Krista was waiting for. He quickly drew back, still holding Jean's chin, while her other hand pushed into his mouth a handful of straw. And more. And more. Jean's mouth was full of dry dusty straw, his cheeks bloated, and suddendly Jean started coughing. Dusty straw filled his lungs.

Krista stared at him for several seconds until she realized that he was choking.

- HELP! JEAN'S DYING! - she screamed with lots of panic in her voice.

Mikasa kicked the door out. Will she be in time to save his life?

- JEAN!

...

Meanwhile, on the training grounds...

All the boys, except Jean and Eren, had already lined up, standing still. Thair anxious gazes followed every step that instructor Shadis took. The man walked slowly, captiously examining every of the trainees.

This time, everyone looked good enough. But there was another problem. There were eight people absent.

- Jean Kirschtein! Eren Jaeger! Mina Karolina! Annie Leonhardt! Krista Lenz! Sasha Braus! Mikasa Ackerman! Ymir Ackerman! Where are they?! - Shadis yelled.

Silence. A terrifying silence, filled with tension. Finally Armin coughed, clearing his throat, and replied:

- Sir, Eren Jaeger is absent because he's ill. As for the others... - Armin's voice faltered.

- If you know something, then say it, Arlert! - the instructor urged him.

Armin hesitated for several seconds until he found a courage to answer:

- Sir, have you ever heard of a strange tradicion of trainee girls which is called the Sacred Rule of Morality? Well, due to this, every boy who enters the girl's dorm...

- You can stop, - Shadis interrupted him. - I know of this rule. It was an old tradicion once I became the soldier... So, Kirschtein entered the prohibited dorm?

- Y-yes, Sir. Shouldn't we help him?

- No. It's his own fault.

Armin noticed that the instructor paled at the moment he mentioned the Sacred Rule of Morality. Could that be... maybe Shadis had also entered the girl's dorm? Maybe he even faced worse things than Eren did? Or, maybe...

Armin whispered to Marco:

- We have to help Jean.

- Definitely. But... how?

...

Jean was saved. Some of the straw had gotten into his lungs, but the incredible heroine Mikasa kept beating his back until he coughed everything out. He would have preferred a mouth-to-mouth way, but when your life is on line, you cannot complain...

At the moment he started breathing normally, the other girls left the room, and he was alone with Krista again. The girl wasn't worried about his life at all. She just kicked him into the chest, murmuring angrily:

- Stupid, annoying, bad horse! You can't swallow even a single piece of straw with choking? So much time wasted! Do you love me now?

- No, I don't, - Jean answered. And regretted it.

The angelic girl's face changed at the moment. Her eyes became furious and cold. No smile. Actually, no real facial expression. The only expression showed in her deadly eyes. They looked... well, like eyes of a snake.

Krista ran into the dark corner and came back, holding three squirming snakes in her hand. Her eyes met Jean's. When he saw her gaze he understood one thing. The gentle and cute Krista was a different person inside. A dangerous person.

- You could kill me, right? - he whispered.

- I need to be loved! - she hissed. - I'd suicide even myself if it would make everyone love me! Such an unimportant person like you... doesn't even matter!

She stood silently, watching at her snakes, and then shook her head.

- No, - Krista said silently. - If I kill you, everyone won't love me. But now I see that you will never love me. I want to revenge you for this. But snakes... I'm already bored of them... But, wait a sec!

Krista jumped and ran to the door, screaming:

- SASHA, LET'S TRADE!

They heard Sasha's answering scream from the other side of the door:

- TRADE? WHAT?

Krista slightly opened the door and said more quietly:

- You've recently cauht a huge crab, right? Is it still alive?

- Yes, I've been saving it for dinner, - Sasha replied. - So what?

- I'll give you three snakes if you give it to me.

- I don't know... - Sasha hesitated. - Crabs are quite rare now, you know...

- And you will have my bread of all the dinner we eat this year.

- YAY!

So the trade was made. Sasha got three fatty snakes, and Krista got a live crab. The crab was twice as big as her head. It had giant claws.

The girl started going into Jean, holding the crab. Her eyes still looked like snake's. She took every step very, very slowly, letting Jean to imagine the horror that was coming for him. He was so scared that he couldn't even talk so everything happened in terrifying silence.

Finally Krista's foots stood near his. The girl kneeld down near the banded boy. Jean closed his eyes. Not because he was afraid of that crab. No. The thing that scared him the most was Krista's eyes.

Still holding the crab with one hand, she raised the other and put it on Jean's face, then whispered:

- Open your eyes.

He didn't obey. Now Krista's voice sounded louder:

- OPEN YOUR EYES!

He opened his eyes and met her gaze. Now the snake in her eyes was gone. The only thing that her eyes were filled with now was sadness.

- You're afraid of me, right? - she whispered.

- Y-yeah, - Jean murmured.

Her both hands dropped down. The crab felt free and rushed away to the dark corner of the room. Krista suddendly slumped down on the floor near Jean and said:

- I just wanted by everyone. How did it come you're afraid of me now? And... you hate me now, right?

Several seconds of silence, then Jean answered:

- No. I'm just pity of you. And... umm... I'm sorry I spouted out that nonsense about taking away my... my masculine virginity.

Isterical laugh came out from bothof them. Krista's hands embraced him. The girl pressed her head to his chest and whispered:

- Well, it' quite fun... I suddendy felt so tired. Could I rest here for a bit?

- As long as I'm banded you can do anything... I have no choice.

Krista giggled. This time, not like a maniac, but just like an ordinary tired girl. Her breath became slower. She fell asleep.

When the door finally opened, all the other girls heard Jean's voice:

- Shhh, don't wake her up!

Ymir tiptoed into the room and lifted Krista on her hands. If a gaze could kill, Jean would've died already. The woman said:

- Don't intrude between my girl and me, Horseface. Your time with me will be a real hell. She turned away and left the room.

- So, who tortures him next? - Sasha asked, munching still half-alive snake. Two other snakes had already been eaten. Eaten alive. Sasha preffered fresh, lively meat.

- Me, - Annie replied. - 153 cm.

So when the door closed, Jean was alone in the room with Annie Leonhardt.

Author's note: Hi everyone! I hope you liked this chapter. Personally, I enjoyed writing this chapter even made me slightly ship Jean X Krista even though YumiKuri is my OTP! :D

Now I need some advices.

First of all, I don't know all the details about the ratings, so... I don't know whether this story is T or M. Until now I thought it was T, but this chapter made me hesitate a little. Should I mark it T or M? If you want to share your opinion about it, please don't hesitate to do it!

Next, I've ran out of ideas a bit. Maybe you know what Annie could do to Jean? If you know please tell me. I'll be grateful for advices and also for reviews. Every review helps me a lot! For example, I was extremely happy when I saw that XxFairytale loverxX, Cyborg, Mtmeye and another person in this world left their reviews! Special thanks to them!

See you the next Sunday!
