R&R longer note at the end
The grey haired girl stood in the hallway watching the black haired girl walk away, she had spoken her mind hoping to penetrate the walls the girl had built around herself she had felt it when they had fought. The walls around this girl were high maybe too high for anyone to climb but she would try, after they had been released from their time in detention she had spoken with instructor Ikaruga getting the approval for the match to take place.
She'd wanted to ask then what the story of this girl was, why she was so obsessed with strength but had decided against it, it wasn't her place to pry she knew one day this girl would open up she just had to be patient, she turned around as she entered the common room. After closing the door, she was met with the eyes of her other team mates all staring at her with the look of concern mirrored over the three she knew this was coming as she sighed sitting down ready to hear everyone's concerns.
"I don't like her" Shiki spoke up first "She's arrogant, unapproachable and highly disrespectful. If she doesn't want to be here, then fine I don't want her here".
"While I agree with Shiki on her attitude problems I feel like this is just an act" Yozakura said as Yumi's eyes travelled to her "I feel she wants to be here but is just too afraid to admit her true feelings for whatever reason".
"I-I feel we should give h-her a chance" Murakumo said as all eyes turned to her she quickly recoiled her nervous nature taking hold once more as she fell silent. Yumi sat silently for a moment considering what her team mates had said, she agreed with each one of their assessments of the situation but she couldn't help the nagging feeling dancing through her mind.
"She's going to leave here tonight" Yumi said as everyone turned to her Shiki smiled at the comment which soon faded as Yumi continued "We're going to follow her I know she is difficult but I can't abandon a member of this team. No matter her flaws she is now one of us, we look out for our own". Yozakura smiled as she nodded, Murakumo nodded agreeing with the leader's choice as all eyes fell onto the blonde girl in front of them, she sighed as she realised she was out numbered nodding along with the other girls.

Yumi sat up in bed that night as she waited the other girl's where in position ready to leave when the signal came, as if on cue Yumi heard the sounds of a window opening slowly she stood up as she looked out of her window hoping her suspicion was wrong. She sighed as she saw the tanned girl's figure darting across the courtyard towards the exit, quickly leaving the room she met up with the others waiting in the common room before nodding as they all proceeded to leave.
After a few moments they had caught up seeing the new member dashing through the streets of town headed to the forest, they kept their distance not wanting the girl to notice them following they watched as she entered the forest Yumi turned to the others as they all nodded rushing off in different directions to avoid being noticed as they entered the forest.
Yumi followed the route she had seen the girl take hoping the others would be safe feeling an uncomfortable feeling in the pit of her stomach she stopped just short of a clearing as she saw dust kick up, she hid behind a tree concealing her presence as best she could as she peered around the trunk of a tree watching the scene in front of her begin to unfold.
"Good to see you again. Homura" she heard a girl's voice say, she tried her best to see who had spoken but to no avail she stayed hidden wondering who this person was and how they knew Homura. Her thoughts turned to her team hoping they were hidden and safe as she continued to watch, she had no idea what was going to happen but she could tell it wouldn't be good.
Little bit of a short chapter, I decided to give some back story to why the girls where waiting up that night and I also wanted to give some context to why Yumi said what she did and of course to hear everyone's opinions for Homura before the later stuff happens
