Konoka squinted her eyes, the rushing wind making it hard to see. Once she heard the news that the last rescue ship was arriving, she bolted from the infirmary and made her way to the landing pad. Konoemon was there receiving the students, making sure they got the medical care they needed. He smiled as Konoka approached, pulling her into a gentle hug.

"Don't worry." He whispered in her ear "They'll be fine."

Looking into his eyes, Konoka could see worry and fear behind his normally optimistic gaze. She grasped his hand tightly for assurance, before running up to the landed vessel, the dying sound of the engine echoing in her ears. She stood a good distance away, careful not to disrupt the rescue efforts of the soldiers. Konoka watched as students began to leave the vessel, the badly injured ones carried out by soldiers. But there was no sign of her guardian, or the loud orange-haired girl that was her partner.

Keen eyes scanned the crowd in front of the ship, finally spotting a shaggy brown mess of hair. "Negi-kun!"

Negi could hear Konoka over the sound of the engine, giving himself a huge shock when Konoka appeared behind him "AHH~ You scared me Konoka-san. What's the matter?"

"Where's Setsuna and Asuna?" Konoka asked

"Ahh. They should be out soon. Asuna-san went to get Setsuna-san from the cabins" Negi smiled widely "Don't worry, they're both fine."

As if on cue, the two girls stepped out of the ship. Asuna was supporting Setsuna, who was leaning heavily on her partner. They both looked beat up and tired, dirt and grime covering them from head to toe. Asuna smiled as she noticed Konoka, slightly nudging Setsuna. The raven swordsman, frowned at the nudge, before Asuna's gaze to her charge. A small smile graced her features as Konoka ran towards them

"Sec-chan!" Konoka barreled into Setsuna, the latter just barely managing to keep standing. Asuna exited the ship, giving the two of them some space.

"Ojou-sama" Setsuna whispered, "Are you alright?"

Pulling away Konoka frowned "I should be the one asking you that!"

Laughing softly, Setsuna replied "I told you that you should never worry about me. Your safety is much more important."

Konoka frowned deeper, feeling a tinge of anger "Mou! Sec-chan! What are you saying! Sec-chan is very important to me! How can I not worry?!"

Setsuna smiled briefly before her legs gave way once more, her entire weight collapsing onto Konoka. Konoka shrieked in surprise, catching Setsuna before she fell.

"Sec-chan?" Konoka asked worriedly, brushing the raven bangs from Setsuna's forehead.

"I'm.. ok.. " Setsuna whispered after a brief silence, regaining her footing. "Could you... help me to my room?"

"Of course" Konoka swiftly put Setsuna's arm over her shoulder and began to walk toward the dorms.

"Let me help!" Asuna walked over

"It's alright." Setsuna replied "You need to get that nasty wound checked out."

Asuna looked down and realized she had a long cut down her thigh, the wound almost hidden by her dark pants, the bloodstain barely visible. She frowned, not registering the pain "I almost forgot about this."

"Don't worry I'm fine." Setsuna reassured her once more, clapping her hand on Asuna's shoulder

Together, Setsuna and Konoka made their way to the dorm. Konoka was almost glad that Asuna had sustained a wound, giving her time to spend alone with Setsuna, even if it was only the short walk to the dorms. Upon entering Setsuna's dorm room, Konoka once again took in the simple state of Setsuna's room. Setting Setsuna on the bed, Konoka rested Yunnagi beside Setsuna's desk, where she first saw it. She shut the door, and sat on Setsuna's left, taking her protector's hand. A soft green glow lit up the room, the cuts and bruises vanishing without a trace.

"There! All better!" Konoka grinned happily

Setsuna was silent, and the atmosphere in the room felt oddly heavy.

"K..Kono-chan..." Setsuna's voice was barely a whisper

"Eh?" Konoka gave a small gasp, praying she didn't hear wrongly "Sec-chan.. Did you just.."

"Kono-chan..." Setsuna whispered once more, louder, inching closer to Konoka

"Is something wrong?..." Konoka asked, not understanding Setsuna' actions.

In a blink of an eye, Setsuna's lips pressed gently onto hers, catching her in a light kiss. Konoka squeaked in surprise, her eyes widening in shock, but soon relaxed into the kiss, her eyes closing. When Setsuna pulled away, Konoka saw the emotion in her eyes, something she had never seen from the usually serious girl. Setsuna caught her into another kiss, this time pushing Konoka back onto the bed. Never breaking the kiss, Setsuna shifted her body over her charge's, using her arms to keep her weight off the delicate mage.

"Kono-chan..." Setsuna nipped at Konoka's bare neck, earning her moans from the young mage

"Sec..Sec-chan..." Konoka breathed out "Wa..Wai - EEK!"

Setsuna's hands had found their way under her shirt, the rough hands gently roaming over her smooth skin, sending small ticklish waves rippling over her nerves. Konoka squirmed at the foreign touch, Setsuna never stopping her unyielding assault on her neck. As they traveled higher, Konoka squirmed even harder.

"Sec-chan.. Stop... Sec-chan.." Konoka tried to push Setsuna's arms away, but shrieked as Setsuna's teeth gently moved across her neck

As if compliant to her charge's wishes, Setsuna's hands withdrew from her body. For a moment, Setsuna stopped, before her hands began to travel lower, her hands tracing down Konoka's thigh and back up again, caressing it. The light feathery touch sending alarm bells ringing in Konoka's mind.

"Sec-chan!" Konoka cried out, knowing what was going to happen "Stop! I..I can't!"

"Don't worry." Setsuna whispered in her ear once more "This won't hurt, I promise, Kono-chan"

Konoka shivered as her eyes met with Setsuna's one once more. Konoka felt as if she was sinking into Setsuna's dark eyes, like a bottomless pit filled with raw emotions. Something in those eyes told Konoka that there was something wrong with Setsuna. It was as if Setsuna was no longer there, no longer the girl she knew. It was scaring her, the way Setsuna looked at her, as though she was only a toy to be used. Konoka knew she had to snap Setsuna out of it before it got any worse.

"Sec-chan. Stop" Konoka said, more firmly this time. "You can't do this."

"You know you want to..." Setsuna nipped her earlobe seductively, her hands never stopping, almost reaching Konoka's lower regions "I want to..."

Konoka slapped Setsuna hard, the loud impact resounding through the empty room. Setsuna slowly turned her face back towards Konoka, her eyes burning. Roughly, she pinned Konoka's hands above her head and gave an inhuman snarl, scaring Konoka even further. Setsuna grabbed the front of Konoka's blouse, her eyes twinkling with raw lust. As if taunting her, Setsuna sunk her teeth into Konoka's neck hard, earning a loud cry from the mage.

"STOP!" Konoka released a strong burst of energy, catching the swordsman off guard.

Setsuna crashed into the ceiling, and stayed stuck to the ceiling for a few seconds. Konoka scrambled out of the way as Setsuna came crashing back down into the bed, the mattress squeaking as Setsuna hit it. Konoka sat on the floor, hands clutched protectively in front of her, shaken by the events. Wide-eyed, Konoka stared as a small groan emitted from the petite body on the bed, surrounded by pieces of the plaster ceiling. Konoka watched as the small form of Setsuna began to move, pushing herself up from the bed.

"O...Ojou-sama?" Setsuna voice penetrated the uncomfortable silence

That was the trigger. Konoka bolted out of the room as fast as she could, never looking back, ignoring Setsuna's voice as she called her, ignoring the crash as Setsuna fell into the floor as she tried to go after her. Locking the door, Konoka took a moment to think. Sliding down the door, Konoka curled up into a ball and started to shake. A few minutes later, someone was banging on her door.

"Ojou-sama? Ojou-sama?" Setsuna's pained voice called out "Are you there?"

"Go away!" Konoka shouted, hands over her eyes "Stay away from me!"

"What happened? Ojou-sama? Did..Did I do something wrong?" Setsuna was clearly panicking outside the door, but Konoka refused to budge.

"Go away! I don't wanna see you anymore! Leave me alone!" Konoka screamed, shutting her eyes tightly "How could you!"

She heard a commotion outside her door, more voices began to appear, but she wasn't paying attention. She vaguely remembered someone calling for her, it sounded like Asuna, but Konoka didn't move. Burying her face into her knees, Konoka sat there quietly, as if the darkness of the room would swallow her and make it all go away.
