Konoka stood outside trying to calm her racing heart at she looked through the growing crowds for a certain Samari girl.

After searching through Setsuna's file in her grandfather's desk, Konoka had been anxious for school to start. She had spent several nights awake thinking of a way to get Setsuna alone with her. Konoka wanted to tell Setsuna many things, most importantly how much she missed her and how much she loved her.

Konoka had planned on confessing her feelings to Setsuna the very day they parted. Konoka used to have nightmares of that night and would wake up sometimes to find she had been silently crying in her sleep.

To this day Konoka still doesn't believe she is capable of forgiving her father for sending Setsuna away. Konoka felt angered that he stole four years of what would have been treasured memories together with her first love.

So Konoka decided that no more time was to be wasted when it came to her Secchan. They will pick up right where they left off.

Konoka turned her head as she heard several girls scream. She spotted a figure falling from the sky towards her. She gasped as she realized the figure wasn't a thing but a who.

The person wasn't even moving. They must be unconscious or dead. I have to help, I trained for this! Konoka thought as she chanted a few healing spells under her breath, walking towards the falling figure as her spells sought out any wounds. With the healing spells out of the way, Konoka had to time her next spell just right in hopes of keeping the falling person alive.

As the figure neared her Konoka got a better view of the person. First she noticed they wore the girls Mahora uniform. Next she noticed she girl had her raven hair tied into a side ponytail. Konoka gasped again as she realized the girl falling to her death was Setsuna.

If I don't time this wind spell right, she…might…no I won't fail! She had better have a good explanation for all of this. Konoka thought as she began chanting the wind spell.

Aiming the spell at a 90° angle, aiming straight at Setsuna's nearing back, Konoka finished the spell just in time.

Setsuna was gently blown upwards for a few seconds as Konoka stepped forward to catch her and quickly slip out of sight into the woods. Konoka then laid her down on the ground, resting Setsuna's head in her lap.

Konoka went to look Setsuna in the eyes after so long of being deprived of their depths but found Setsuna's eyes to be shut. Konoka chanted a spell to let her see any current spells active and found Setsuna had a paralysis spell on her. Konoka noticed the new appearance on her love quickly as she chanted a spell to cure her.

Konoka then waiting in vain for Setsuna's eyes to open. After waiting and savouring the face of her beloved, Konoka went to work checking Setsuna for any clues as to why she would have been flying around in the sky paralyzed.

Konoka felt her face heat up as she seen Setsuna's uniform had been ripped on her stomach. It left a nice view of Setsuna's toned-and yet feminine- abs. Konoka mentally noted how Setsuna's body had matured.

She really has been training hard; she's changed so much but yet stayed the same as well. I remember when Secchan was shorter than me for a brief period during our childhood. Yet now she seems to be a little bit taller than me. I see she also has her hair grown out a little bit more. It is so soft too. I remember her telling me once that she cut it herself with her sword. Ever since then I had made sure to be present when she did it, fearing she would cut herself.

Unsure of what to do, Konoka decided to just take Setsuna back to Setsuna's dorm and let her sleep it off. Konoka cast an invisibility spell to cloak her and Setsuna's appearance as Konoka made their way to the dorms.

Konoka was slightly saddened at the thought of her guard running off on her own and getting into battles, especially so close to the school where thousands of students attend, almost all of them human without any knowledge of magic and all the other forces out there.

When Konoka put Setsuna to bed, Konoka kissed her forehead and laid down beside her, wrapping her arms around the other girls torso so if the other girl should wake in the night, she couldn't go anywhere without the other knowing.

Konoka traced Setsuna's facial features with her fingers using feather light touches. Konoka hesitated near Setsuna's lips before deciding not to touch them at all, lest she lose control and assault her poor unconscious guard. Konoka ran her fingers through Setsuna's hair after she got rid of the annoying hairband keeping the silky smooth locks captive.

Konoka had always loved Setsuna's hair. It could be tied in that ponytail for hours, yet when Konoka would sneak and take the hairband off, Setsuna's hair would fall gracefully down to her shoulders without a trace of a bump.

Konoka realized that Setsuna had indeed gotten better looking. This kind of scared Konoka as she knew Setsuna was beautiful and both boys and girls would find that appealing. Konoka made a mental note to keep an eye on her guard at all times, and decided to also make it clear to other people that Setsuna was taken.

Konoka all caught up in her daydreams about her Secchan, snapped back into the present to find herself snuggled into the crook of Setsuna's neck. Wondering as she leant in-but not caring about how she wormed her way so close to her guards face- Konoka gave her guard a quick goodnight kiss on her jaw, not daring to test her heart anymore today.

For the next few minutes Konoka simply basked in the presence of her guard until her eyes betrayed her yet again by closing against her better wishes.

Konokas last thought was When she wakes up we will definitely have an… interesting reunion


Sorry for the short chapter. I think I'm procrastinating having to decide where this fic should head.

Well… 'till next time~ xoxo
