"Oh! Kaede-san! Are you jogging too?"

"Eh…." Only Shin would run in this downpour. "No no, I just felt like running and I kinda got lost on the way, help me out?"

"Ah, well I'm heading toward Oujou now so you'll know your way from there, right?"

"Oh yeah! Thanks. I'll jog with you! I'll try to catch up so don't wait up for me!" Kaede nodded.

And Kaede jogged beside Shin. At times Shin would get a head of her and she'd have to speed up to stay beside Shin. For some reason, she felt amazing. With the cool rain on her skin it felt so wonderful! Kaede took a deep breath of the cool, damp air. It was so clean…so refreshing; she wasn't at all tired from the running! Kaede closed her eyes as she took it all in and spread out her arms as she continued to run---

"OW!" Kaede felt a sharp pain and then, "Oof! Ahhhhh" Kaede had tripped and was sent flying down the hill beside her. "Uhhhhhhh" Kaede's voice shook as she rolled down the muddy hill and face-landed in a big mud puddle.

"!!!! Kaede-san!" Shin ran down toward her and stared at the lifeless body lying in a giant mud pie. "….Kaede-san?"

"Gaahhh!!" Kaede raised mud covered face as she gasped for air. For a moment she didn't know where she was. Then—"Ah! Shin-kun!" Kaede looked around to see a shocked Shin who had taken a stepped back at the rise of the lifeless body. "Oh man! Kaede took a look at where she had landed. She had a dripping mud pack on her face and her whole front side of the body and covered in my slippery slime. Kaede wiped her face with her arm and tried to stand up, "OW!" Kaede felt a sharp pain at her ankle. "It must have happened right before I rolled down" Kaede thought. Whatever the cause, it hurt.

"Kaede-san!" At the sound of her yelp, Shin approached her muddy body. "Are you hurt?"

"I-I dunno. I think I twisted my right ankle" Kaede leaned on her left foot as she slowly stood up. "Ah there!" Kaede put her right leg down and pain shot up her leg causing her to fall again into the mud puddle. Now she was covered completely, head to toe in mud. "Errgg" Kaede now glowered at the rainy sky as she blinked away the rain that was falling on her eyes. Kaede's view of the cloudy sky was soon covered by Shin's face.

"Kaede-san, let me help you me you" Shin extended his hand to her.

"Ah!" Kaede realized that she had completely humiliated herself and began to blush furiously in embarrassment. Shin didn't know Kaede was a girl! It would look so…gay! "Ah no! Shin-kun! I'm so dirty! I'll get you dirty!"

"It's alright" Shin's long arm remained where it was. Helpless, Kaede grabbed his arm and Shin pulled her up and put her arm around his neck and helped her limp out of the mud hole.

"Thank you, Shin-kun, I'm really sorry about this" Kaede said apologetically as Shin set her down next to a tree.

"It's alright" Shin said as he took off his sweater, "Wipe your face with this while I check your injury"

"Ah, uhm…" Kaede couldn't do anything but accept the sweater. As Kaede wiped her face she looked at the forever calm Shin as he slowly took of her right shoe. Kaede's eyes widened as parts of her sock was soaked in blood. Because the sock was wet, however, the sock came off fairly easily. Kaede had to bite her lower lip to keep herself from saying, "Ow." After some more inspection Shin came to a conclusion.

"You have a slightly deep gash but you won't need stitches. Other than the small cuts and bruises, I think you only have a sprain, but you should check with a professional, just in case"

"Ah…I see…" Kaede stared at her beat up foot. Kaede scrunched her face at the pain and embarrassment she was facing at the moment. "Ah, well thank you, Shin, uhm…" Kaede didn't know what to say at this situation.

"Kaede-san," Shin started as she tied your gash up with your sock, "I'll carry you Deimon and school nurse can take a look at you"

"Waah? No, no, uhm, I can call.." Kaede patted at her football tights. Right. She had left her cell phone in her changing locker! Before Kaede could say any more, Shin handed Kaede her right shoe, slid one arm behind her back, and another slid under knees. As Shin lifted Kaede up, Shin's facial expression changed drastically.

"Kaede-san…are you a girl?"
