Chapter 2: Getting closer pt 1
Morning (03:00):
Kousuke left the dorm and went out for a run.
'Should I go to class today? Nah, that Ayuki would bother me…but how would I watch over them? Guess I'll just watch them from a distance then.' he thought as he ran.
30 minutes later, he stopped and pulled out his sword. He swung it around and after a few easy swings, he tried some harder ones.
"Rai Ryu-o-jin!" he shouted as lighting came out of his sword and shot it at the sky.
Grinning, he thought that he'd practice more until Setsuna came for her morning routine.
"Tenma Kai Ryu-sen!" he shouted and this time, water came out of his sword and was shot into the sky.
"You still like using that move don't you, Nakashima?" said Setsuna, walking over towards him.
"Shut up. Unlike you, the person that thought me this is long dead." said Kousuke, sheathing his sword.
"So are we going to train or not? I only have less than a hour." said Setsuna, pulling out her Yunagi.
"Just don't hold back." Kousuke got into a fighting stance, "Your move."
Setsuna raised her sword and didn't intend to hold back at all, "Raimeiken"
Kousuke smirked as he easily dodged it and appeared behind her, "I said don't hold back!"
Setsuna swung her sword back, but Kousuke disappeared, appeared above her and kicked her from the back causing her to fly through five trees and hit the rocks after them.
"You're lucky I held back a bit." Kousuke walked over to her and offered her his hand.
"When will you ever take me seriously?" asked Setsuna, taking his hand.
"When you're really ready for it." Kousuke jumped into the trees and jumped into the next like a ninja.
'When will that be? You won't even tell me what happened in my past…' thought Setsuna, quickly following him.
By the time they got back to the dorms, it was six in the morning.
"Took you two long enough! Oh and Setsuna, go to Konoe-san's room and here's a map to get there. We'll see you later!" Ayuki grabbed Kousuke's hand and dragged him out of the room.
Setsuna sighed as she went towards Konoka's room, feeling like she has done it before.
'That's weird. This is my first time going there, so why?" she thought, approaching her destination. She knocked on the door and heard some noise in there.
"Yes?" Konoka opened the door and saw Setsuna standing there, "H-Hi S-Sakurazaki-san."
"H-Hello." Setsuna said nervously. She didn't know why, but being near Konoka made her heart pound and vice versa for Konoka.
"Um…W-Would you like some breakfast?" said Konoka.
"Um…Yes. Thank you." Setsuna went into the room and sat on the couch.
"It'll be ready in a few minutes."
"Oh good morning Sakurazaki-san." said Negi.
"Good morning Negi-sensei. What are you doing here?"
"I actually live here." Negi scratched the back of his head and laughed nervously.
"Alone here with Konoe-san?"
"No, Asuna went out for her job. Breakfast is ready." said Konoka, smiling happily as Asuna came into the door.
"You have no idea on how-…uh hi Sakurazaki-san." Asuna said nervously.
"Hi Kagurazaka-san."
"Call me Asuna. My last name is a mouthful."
"Fair enough, then you may call me Setsuna."
Then both Asuna and Setsuna had a distant look and thought at the same time, 'Didn't I say that already?'
"Asuna? Setsuna-san? Are you two ok?" asked Konoka.
"Yes, I'm fine." they both replied at the same time.
"Well let's eat. Konoka-san's food is getting cold."
After eating, they all went to school.
"So Setsuna-san, what school did you some from before here?" asked Asuna.
"I came from the Shinmei-ryu School. Other than that I don't remember too clearly." replied Setsuna, adjusting the weight of her sword on her shoulder.
"Then how did you meet Kamishiro-san and that boy?" said Negi.
"I met Kamishiro-san a few months ago when she 'helped' me from something, same as Nakashima." said Setsuna.
"So you three have been together all this time?"
"Yes."
"Well let's hurry up, cause we're late!" Asuna began to run to school. Konoka had a hard time keeping up since she wasn't wearing her roller skates. Setsuna could've easily caught up to Asuna and beat her, but she didn't feel like it. Instead, she just ran by Konoka's side. Negi would've been at school already with his magic, but he was afraid that Setsuna was going to find out about his secret, so he just did his best to keep up with Asuna.
"Are you two ok?" asked Setsuna, noticing that Konoka was tired, and Negi could still run for a few more minutes.
"J-Just barely...ah!" said Konoka as she tripped.
Before she hit the ground, Setsuna caught her in her arms. Both of them immediately blushed.
"I-I'm sorry." Setsuna was going to put her down, but Konoka held onto her shoulder.
"Please…Just for a little while longer…"
Setsuna's blushed darkened as she ran to catch up to Negi.
"Is Konoka-san alright?" Negi asked worriedly.
"Y-Yes. She just tripped and hurt herself. I'll take her to the infirmary." Setsuna ran a bit faster and went straight to the Nurses Office.
"Hello. Oh is she alright?" said Minamoto Shizuna.
"Uh well…." Setsuna started, not knowing what to say.
"It looks like she fell asleep." noted Shizuna, giggling to herself.
Setsuna looked at Konoka and true to Shizuna's words, she was asleep.
'When did she fall asleep?' thought Setsuna, putting Konoka on the bed.
Konoka grabbed Setsuna's sleeve and snuggled closer to her. Setsuna blushed at this.
"Looks like she doesn't want to leave you." giggled Shizuna, "I'll tell Negi-sensei that you two will be a bit late."
"W-Wait!" said Setsuna, but it was too late, Shizuna already left the room leaving both Setsuna and Konoka alone.
'What will I do know?' thought Setsuna.
With Negi:
"Good morning Negi-sensei!" said the class.
"Good morning everyone!"
Negi opened his role book and noticed that Konoka, Setsuna, Evangeline, Chachamaru, and Ayuki weren't in their seats.
"Has anyone seen Konoka-san, Setsuna-san, Eva-san, Chachamaru-san or Kamishiro-san?"
"Eva-san and Chachamaru-san are on the roof as usual, and for the rest I don't know." said Sasaki Makie.
Just then, Shizuna came in, "Hi Negi-sensei, just here to tell you that Sakurazaki-san and Konoka-san are in the infirmary and will be a bit late."
"Oh, take good care of them."
With Ayuki:
"Now what? First you made Sakurazaki go to that Konoe's room, dragged me off, and casted a sleeping spell on her!" said Kousuke.
"Don't you think that we should tell them now?" said Ayuki.
"Keh. Like I care. Just as long as you know what you're doing and don't involve me in it."
"Kou-kun you meanie!" pouted Ayuki.
'But you gotta admit, she is right. Nah…just bring their memory back slowly.' thought Kousuke, staring into the sky.
"Kousuke are you thinking about them again?" asked Ayuki, worriedly.
"What I think about is none of your business. Go to class." Kousuke disappeared and reappeared on top of the world tree, "After all, they never concerned you."
