Sorry for the late update in case anyone noticed. I had trouble figuring out how long this fic should be (Which ended up in me writing several different chapters and endings) but nonetheless on with the fic~

Setsuna was just about to finish her shift of work when she felt one of her high level barriers break.

With her eyes widened Setsuna pulled out several enchanted papers and brought forth her mini Setsuna's. Hurriedly she told them "Inform the Headmaster of the current situation. Let him know I plan on taking the intruder down"

Nodding with understanding the mini's left in great haste.

Setsuna sent a wave of her chi out, sort of like sonar in a sense except it only bounces back energy of other magical beings. She was panicked when she felt a powerful dark energy nearing her charges own powerful energy.

Setsuna took off chi running with great speed and cleared what would have been 15 minutes of running in only 3 minutes of chi running. Jumping onto a nearby rooftop, Setsuna stayed hidden as she scoped out the situation.

Looking around for her charge in a big group of people was proving to be difficult. Setsuna looked at her watch and realized why there were so many people around; school started in thirty minutes.

Cursing under her breath, Setsuna realized she would be late for class and would draw unwanted attention.

That was a pretty powerful energy I picked up. The intruder is in the vicinity. If they value their life's they will be wise and not even go near the princess. Setsuna thought as she finally caught sight of her charge, otherwise known as the Princess.

Setsuna's heart started to beat faster as she watched the Princess.

This is the first time I have seen her since the day I left. I heard she went and hired Asuna and Ayaka the next day… I bet she was disgusted and disappointed that she went through all the trouble of picking me to just have me almost kill her. Setsuna clenched her teeth and decided not to think about her charge anymore. Deciding not to think about her charge in anyway other than professional, Setsuna walked closer to the edge of the building.

Seeing her charge socializing and in no danger, Setsuna sent out another-more powerful- chi wave in hopes of tracking it down and getting rid of the possible threat to the princess. Sensing the energy go towards the woods, Setsuna ran towards it unsheathing her sword.

Setsuna chased the source of dark energy throughout the woods, finally cornering it at the end of a cliff. A lady with long black hair cascading down her back, dressed in a black kimono stood cornered by Setsuna

"Who are you? What business do you have near Mahora school grounds? Leave at once!"

"Fufufu~ You wont give me a chance to talk, what is this 20 questions?" the lady sneered edging toward Setsuna

"You will not win. I advise you take your leave if you value your life" Setsuna tightened her grip dropping into her fighting stance

"We will see about that" the lady sneered as she lunged at Setsuna

Bringing her sword up in a quick flick, Setsuna cut the lady in half, as she sheathed her sword Setsuna noticed paper fall on her shoulder. Setsuna had cut a paper doll clone of the lady mistaking it for the real deal.

Cursing under her breath Setsuna tensed for the blow she knew was coming.

One moment Setsuna was bringing her sword up towards her face to block, and the next the lady appeared in her face with her dark glowing hand on Setsuna's chest.

Releasing a powerful ball of energy, the lady shot Setsuna high into the sky.

Damn it I am paralyzed. She must have used a spell on me. My fault, I should have just finished her off to begin with. I still lack in skill it seems. At this rate I will fall right beside the school. I can't believe my first day of school ended up like this. Setsuna thought as she fell in the air nearing the schools pebbled ground, unconsciousness calling her.

Konoka p.o.v

I can't wait until she comes. My heart is beating so fast…I might just hug her right away. I hope she doesn't mind me doing that in public.

I remember when we were kids she used to be bothered by me fawning over her in front of others. She never acted that way again after I got upset.

"Let's not raise any false suspicions Ojosama" she had said prying my hands from around her neck and lifting me off her lap. I had felt my heart stop beating as the meaning to her words had hit me.

"False suspicions"? Didn't she understand my lingering touches and intimate gestures were 100% real? Or did she mean that she doesn't feel the same?

I had confronted her about this with a tear soaked face that night in my room after I worked myself up all day thinking about her words. She had said it was for my sake, saying a petty guard like her could never be an equal to someone as royal and pure as me. She went on to say I shouldn't taint my image by keeping her as company, much less touch her so openly.

What does one do after hearing their first love say they couldn't work out due to a vain thing such as social status?

Well I don't know, but I do know that I chose to clutch Secchan's waist while crying on her shoulder atop my bed.

She spent the whole night soothing me by rubbing my back, or placing a soft kiss on my hair. I tried to explain to her how much she meant to me, how her being my guard should be irrelevant unless talking of how we were destined to be together, but it all ended up coming out a blubbering mess of her name.

"Konochan I'm really sorry I made you sad. Should I leave?" she had said trying to make me feel better by calling me the pet name she gave me years ago.

"No! Please stay with me Secchan" I practically begged as I tightened my embrace on her, trying to let her know that if she did choose to leave I'd be coming with.

The next day after the incident when I woke up in my bed with her snuggling me, I realized in her arms was my favourite place. The question I had after that was… a place with me in her arms, would it be a place she wanted to go?

After that incident, she never asked me to stop glomping her even though it was practically every time I seen her. A few times I thought her face would explode from blushing so hard.

I will definitely get all my questions answered when Secchan arrives. If my plan works, then I get the whole school day to spend with Secchan in her dorm. Konoka thought as she fiddled with a spare key to Setsuna's dorm. She had taken the spare her grandfather kept in his office.

Konoka suddenly heard a commotion and a couple girls scream as she spotted something soaring through the air in her direction. Konokas eyes widened and her breath caught in her throat in what was a combination of a scream and a gasp as she realized just what was flying toward her, or who to be specific; Setsuna

Yeah I totally did rush the fighting scene, but I'm horrid at writing them so really I spared you all.

The other version of this chap was: Setsuna becoming late for class due to the barrier breaking, and coming to class late, she drew everyone's attention (Especially Konoka's). Well… It ended in Konoka glomping her in front of everyone. And blah blah rainbows, happy endings, and sunshine from there on.

But where's the suspense and drama in that right?

Till next time xoxo~
