Chapter 9: The fun day in Setsuna's room

"C-Can I stay with you for tonight?" asked Konoka as she blushed.

"Eh…um…sure…." Setsuna also blushed as she led Konoka back to her room.

On the way back was quiet, until Konoka's hand suddenly held onto Setsuna's.

"K-Konoe…?!" she blushed, unfortunately there wasn't enough light to see it.

"S-Sorry…I just…." Konoka also blushed, then she remembered something, "Nee Setsuna-san, can you stop calling me 'Konoe'? We're friends now right?"

Setsuna blushed darker, she never really like calling anyone by his or her first names.

"Please Setsuna-san?" Konoka gave her a puppy pout.

"Well...uh…K-Konoka….san?" stuttered Setsuna.

Konoka smiled and wrapped her arms around Setsuna's left, "Yep!"

If there was any light, Konoka would be laughing and thinking how cute Setsuna looked at how much she was blushing right now. Few minutes later, they went into Setsuna's room. Looking around, Konoka noticed that Kaede wasn't there.

"Where's Kaede-san?"

"On her weekend training. She does that every weekend." said Setsuna, "You can take my bed."

"Then where will you sleep?"

"On the couch."

"What no!" Konoka looked at the bed, "We could sleep together if we squeeze in a bit."

"W-What?!" Setsuna blushed.

"It's the least that I can do….unless I can sleep on the couch."

"No, you sleep on the bed and I sleep on the couch and that's final and go to sleep." Setsuna sat on the couch, managing to control her blush, and retied the bandana on her right wrist.

"Setsuna-san, why do you have that on your wrist?" said Konoka, knowing why already.

"….It reminds me of how weak I am if I couldn't protect anyone unharmed." said Setsuna.

Konoka suddenly sat on Setsuna's lap, wrapped her arms around Setsuna's neck and cried on her shoulder.

"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!" she cried.

"Eh? K-Konoka-san? W-Why're you s-sorry?" Setsuna blushed again.

"Because of me….you have that scar and you had to quit that tournament at the time!"

Setsuna sighed and rubbed Konoka's back for a minute before she realized, "Wait." Setsuna pulled Konoka back and wiped her tears. "You're that girl I saved?"

"You don't remember? Four months ago you saved me from those guys that tried to rape me or something." said Konoka, "Before I had that chance to thank you, you disappeared. So I came here to find you." Konoka leaned in and gave Setsuna a small shy kiss on the cheek. "So thanks for saving me."

Setsuna blushed and scratched the back of her head sheepishly. "You already thanked me before though….besides, I was gonna cancel the tournament and you made it easier for me to have an excuse." Setsuna put her hands up; expecting Konoka to yell or hit her but Konoka just leaned on Setsuna's shoulder, fast asleep.

'When did she…?! Oh well…goodnight Konoka.' thought Setsuna, giving Konoka a small peck on her forehead before falling asleep herself.


Morning:

Konoka woke up feeling warm. Opening her eyes, she found herself being held protectively by Setsuna, making her blush.

'S-S-Setsuna-san's holding me!' Konoka thought, her face slowly going back to it's normal color. She then noticed that Setsuna was starting to twist and turn in her sleep. 'Must be a nightmare.'

"Mom…no…please!" Setsuna muttered, her grip on Konoka slowly tightening, making Konoka worried.

"Don't leave me alone!" Tears slowly forming from her eyes.

"S-Setsuna-san!" Konoka said in gasps, Setsuna's grip was a bit too tight now.

Doing something that a mother would do (in her P.O.V.); Konoka kissed Setsuna on the forehead and stroked her back. "Shh…it's ok Setsuna-san….I won't leave you." Setsuna calmed down and open her eyes, blushing seeing that Konoka was doing the exact same thing that her mother was doing in her dream.

"K-K-K-K-K-Konoka-san…?!"

Letting go of Setsuna, Konoka smiled seeing that Setsuna was ok and blushing.

"Feeling better Setsuna-san? You were kinda holding onto me a bit to tightly." giggled Konoka.

"E-Eh? Y-Yeah….I-I'm fine." Setsuna blushed 5 times more than she did before.

"You don't look fine." Konoka pressed her forehead against Setsuna's.

"K-K-Konoka-san?!" Setsuna would've fainted by now.

"You're a little warm, but nothing serious." Konoka pulled away and blushed slightly. "Um…T-Thanks for letting me stay with you Secchan."

"S-Secchan?"

"S-Sorry….I won-" Setsuna smiled, "It's fine Kono-chan."

Now it was Konoka's turn to blush. "We should get ready for school."

"School? Today, there's no school….You should go back to your room now…." Setsuna buried her head on Konoka's shoulder, "Unless you want to come with me for today…."

"O-Ok….where are we going?"

"That's a secret." winked Setsuna.
