Chapter 4: I'll protect you no matter what
School was over for the day and both Konoka and Setsuna were exhausted. Wouldn't you be too if your classmates hounded you thinking that you and your friend were a couple?
"I'm so tired!" said Konoka.
Setsuna took her bag and walked faster.
"Hey! That's my bag!" Konoka chased after her.
Setsuna smirked as she ran towards Konoka's dorm. Few minutes later, they were really exhausted.
"That was mean Secchan!" said Konoka, panting.
"You said that you were tired so I helped you." smirked Setsuna, placing their bags by the bed.
"You could've said so!" pouted Konoka, "And you didn't have to run!"
"I never thought that I would see the lovebirds fighting." said Asuna, walking in.
"We're not fighting." said Konoka, pouting.
"Then why were you two arguing? Only couples argue like that."
"Asuna/Asuna-san!" Both Setsuna and Konoka blushed madly at that.
"I'm telling the truth." smirked Asuna.
"You still said that we were a couple when we're not!"
"Both of you two would fit the part perfectly." said Asuna, trying not to laugh, "Why don't you just admit it already or something?"
"Because we're not a couple!"
Ayuki went out to the forest as soon as school was over, knowing that Kousuke would be somewhere there at that time of the month.
'Kousuke…Where are you?' she though, walking through the thick forest.
The sun was still up, so she still had time to look for him…before he kills anyone within 500 meters within him.
"Ayuki?" said a voice before coughing hoarsely.
"Kousuke?" she said, looking in the direction of the voice.
"Just get away, quickly!" he said, stumbling out of the bushes.
"Kousuke!" Ayuki ran to his side.
"You do know what tonight is right? Get away!" he said, trying to get up but was feeling too weak to.
"Come on Kou-kun. You know that I can't do that." Ayuki started to cry, "Without you, I wouldn't be here now. You have to live until we give all of their memories back and we can go back to the future!"
"You say that like you really want me to go back with you." laughed Kousuke, lying on his back.
"Of course I do baka." Ayuki moved Kousuke's head onto her lap, "You took care of me since my parents disappeared….and we've been together since….There's no way that I would want to leave you like that."
"Fine…here, inject this into me as soon as I change." Kousuke gave her a small syringe with dark red fluid in it.
Ayuki took the syringe and waited.
After the pointless arguing for over an hour, the sun had set and now darkness was starting to come.
"I guess that I'll be going now." said Setsuna, getting up from the couch that she was sitting on.
"Don't go." said Konoka, "At least have dinner with us."
Asuna snickered at that, which received a light blow to the head.
"That hurt!"
"I didn't even hit you that hard."
Suddenly, a beam of light shot into the sky.
'Was that Nakashima?' thought Setsuna, 'There was a lot of demonic energy coming from that so it must be him.'
"What the hell was that?" said Asuna, looking out the window.
"I'll go check it out!" and with that Setsuna ran out of the room and in the direction of the light. What she didn't notice was that Konoka was following right behind her.
Ayuki leaned on the tree in slight fear. Kousuke now was standing on four legs covered in scales and fur, his wings spread wide as if he was going to take flight, and his eyes glowed red and gold. (or just try to think of some way to mix a wolf, a dragon, and a demon together. (sweat drop))
"K-Kou-kun…" Ayuki whispered.
Kousuke just growled in reply, telling her that she's too close to him.
Shaking her head, she remembered the syringe that Kousuke gave her before her went back to his demon form. Slowly walking towards him, she reached out her hand.
Kousuke sniffed her hand and licked it. Smiling at that, she petted his head and made him calm down a little.
Suddenly, Setsuna came out of the bushes causing Kousuke to jump back and growl.
"So he transformed again?" said Setsuna, getting into a defensive position.
"Don't hurt him! He's-" Ayuki looked behind Setsuna and gasped, "K-Konoe-san?!"
Setsuna looked behind her and gasped as well, "K-Konoka-san! W-Why did you follow me?"
"I-I don't know…I-It just seemed like you were going to go somewhere far away and I'll never see you again." she said, scared of the wolf/dragon demon in front of her, "But, what is that?!"
"W-We can explain! Just get away from her now!" said Ayuki, but it was too late. Kousuke charged at Konoka and was about to bite her head off, Setsuna grabbed Konoka just in time but Kousuke slashed Setsuna's arms.
"S-Secchan!"
"I'm fine." Setsuna glared at Kousuke who was circling around them and growling.
Konoka went closer to Setsuna, scared of the demon.
"Kou-kun! Come here!" shouted Ayuki.
Kousuke looked at Ayuki and went towards her like a dog would to it's master.
"Good boy." Ayuki petted his head and Setsuna and Konoka sweat dropped at the sight.
As soon as he was calmed down again, she injected the syringe into him. Slowly, he went back to his human form.
"Took ya long enough." said Kousuke rolling onto his back.
"Thank Setsuna and Konoe-san for that." Ayuki looked at the two girls and smiled, "You think that you can give them back all their memories now?"
"Since it's a full moon and the night's still young, fine." Kousuke did a back flip to get up and walked over towards Setsuna and Konoka. As soon as he got there, he placed his hands on their heads as light glowed from it.
Setsuna and Konoka's eyes were wide-open, tears of joy and sadness flowed through their eyes.
Few minutes later Kousuke went back to Ayuki and laid his head on her lap, "Happy?"
"Vey." Ayuki smile grew when she saw Setsuna embracing Konoka as she cried.
"Better be, I gotta sleep."
"Good night."
After Konoka stopped crying, she looked at Setsuna who was blushing at their closeness.
"W-What is it Ojou-sama?"
"What happened to Kono-chan from before?" said Konoka, laying her head on Setsuna's shoulder.
"K-Kono-chan…I'm sorry…I shouldn't have left you…."
Konoka lifted her head and looked Setsuna straight into her eyes, "Darn right you shouldn't have…." Konoka blushed, "So…do you still mean it?"
Setsuna stared at her, blushing furiously, "I...well…that is to say…"
Konoka giggled, "That's ok…I love you too."
"Um…Kono-chan…let's not tell the others about this…"
"What ever you want Secchan." Konoka leaned in and kissed Setsuna.
"Damn it! We were too late!" said a voice.
"No matter. Memory or no memory, we'll get them!" said another voice.
"But Aniki! That hanyo will ruin out plans!" said the first voice.
"Don't worry. We still have plan B!" said the boss.
"When will we start?"
"Tomorrow. Let them rest tonight, then we strike at dawn."
"Alright!"
