Chapter 2: The Reason

"…And that's all that I know." said Asuna, ending the story of everything that she knew about Setsuna.

"So Setsuna-san is basically the denial and serious type?" said Konoka, enjoying the new info on Setsuna.

"Yep, but I think that Kaede-san might have a different opinion since she's Setsuna-san's roommate."

"I'm back." said a voice.

"Hey bozu." Asuna noticed Konoka's questioning look, "You met him earlier, Negi, the short 10 year old teacher. He's also my roommate before you came along."

"Hello Negi-kun." smiled Konoka, seeing Negi walk up to them.

"Hello Konoka-san." Negi looked at Asuna, "Asuna-san, can you go find Sakurazaki-san? I heard that she's seriously injured this time."

"What am I? A messenger?" sighed Asuna, getting ready to leave, "Why didn't you got ask Kaede-san?"

"I couldn't find her. Not even Mana-san or Ku Fei-san." said Negi.

"Guess it can't be helped then. Wanna come Konoka?" said Asuna.

"Sure!" Konoka said happily, going to Asuna's side.

"It'll take awhile, so take your jacket."

Konoka grabbed her jacket and followed Asuna out the door. They walked in silence for a few minutes until Asuna decided to break the ice.

"So Konoka, why did you want to come to this school?"

"Um….it happened 4 months ago…back in Kyoto…it was there that I met Setsuna-san for the first time…." started Konoka.

Asuna's eyes widened as Konoka continued her story, 'Maybe she might know why Setsuna-san changed.'

Four months ago:

It was about 10 at night when Konoka was walking to a small school. Since it was warm that night, she was wearing a light blue summer dress. On they way there, a group of guys followed her. Not knowing that she was being followed, she decided to take a small detour.

"Hey little girl, are you lost?" said one of the guys.

"It's not safe for a girl like you to be alone at this time of night too." added another guy.

"Umm…thanks but no thanks. I know where I'm going." said Konoka, walking away from them but the last guy grabbed her by the wrists.

"We're offering you some help but you don't want it? You're a bad girl!"

"Hey Taro, be nice to her." said the first guy.

"Didn't know that you wanted her too Yoshi. What about you Tact?"

"Of course I do!"

Konoka struggled against Taro's grip and managed to get free. However, Yoshi punched her in the stomach, making her feel weak.

"Now that's a bad girl." smirked Yoshi.

Suddenly, a girl knocked him out cold.

"Who're you?!" demanded Tact.

"No one that you need to know scumbags!" said the girl, dodging Tact's punches.

Silently, Taro pulled out a knife and snuck behind the girl, slashing her right wrist. The girl bit her lip from shouting in pain and kicked Taro's knife away.

"Damn you!" Tact pulled out a gun and shot at the girl.

The girl barely dodged the bullets and grabbed the gun out of his hands, twisting his hands in the process.

"Are you two gonna leave now?" the girl said in a threatening tone, kicking Tact away.

Taro and Tact got scared, picked up Yoshi, and ran away. The girl sighed in relief and knelt down by Konoka.

"Are you ok?"

Konoka barely looked at the girl before fainting.

Morning:

Konoka woke up in a bed at an unfamiliar place.

"You're finally awake?" said the same girl that saved her.

Konoka nodded, "Um…t-thank you for saving me last night."

"Hurry up and go back home." The girl left the building, leaving Konoka alone with breakfast and a newspaper on the table.

Konoka sat down at the table and gasped when she saw the newspaper. Running out the door, she hoped to find the girl, but had no luck.

Sakurazaki Setsuna, cancelled at the last minute due to an injury in an accident. Current detail unknown, but heard that Sakurazaki Setsuna is quitting Kendo for good.

"…And that's what happened…" Konoka sighed sadly, "Because of me she got injured…and had to quit the thing she loved."

"I wouldn't be too sure about that." said Asuna, putting her hand on Konoka's shoulder.

Suddenly, someone fell from the sky and landed in front of them, injured and fallen onto her back.

"Oh My god!"

Me: That's enough for now. Kinda bored and tired right now (damn cousin almost drowned me! ) Oh well, just hoped that you enjoyed this as much as I did (sweat drop) Guess who fell and you get a cookie XD See ya next time.
