"May I go to the loo please, miss?" Karin called out with her hand up. Miss Ford shifted her glasses slightly, a bit peeved that silent reading wasn't silent.
"Yes of course, Karin." The teacher turned back to her book. Karin walked to the corridor to get to her destination.
As Kei sat at her seat and listened to her science lecture, she looked out into the corridor. She saw a flash of red pass by the window.
'Kanzuki.'
"Sir, may I go toilet, please?"
Kei watched her prey enter the loo. She counted fifty seconds and then went in. As she expected, Karin was washing her hands with soap brought in from home! That stuck-up bitch!
Karin glanced up at the mirror and noticed Kei.
"Oh, hi Kei!" Karin turned around, smiling.
"Hello Karin." Kei played along, smiling. As Karin turned back to the sink to dry her hands, Kei made her move. Quickly grabbing Karin's neck with her right hand, Kei pushed Karin's head over the sink. She grabbed both of Karin's hands with her left hand, essentially cutting off all movement. This entire manoeuvre took three seconds.
Kei placed her hand on the back of Karin's neck and put a small amount of pressure down. Karin immediately choked because of the obstruction to her airway. Her throat was caught between Kei's hand and the sink. Withdrawing the pressure, Kei moved her mouth close to Karin's ear.
"Now, listen nice and close, and no-one gets hurt. I know what you plan to do with Sakura. You can't stand the fact that she's stronger than you. You're going to manipulate her, weaken her. You will break her heart. Well back off! She's my friend! I'm not giving her to some stuck-up cow that will ruin her life!"
Karin risked a look in the mirror at Kei. Her eyes were wide, her hair frazzled. She really looked crazy.
"If you ever speak to her after today, I will hunt you down. I will kill you. I don't care how many bodyguards you have, I will do it. Trust me." Karin believed her. "You can have today to let her down gently. Any day after today, you say two words to her, communicate in any way, harm her, and you will die. Understand?" Karin remained silent. "UNDERSTAND!" Kei roared, wrenching Karin's arm the wrong way.
"Argh! Yes! I understand!" Karin felt immense pain in her arm. 'It must be sprained.'
"Good." Kei smiled. Letting go of Karin, she walked to the door. Turning back, she left one last remark. "Sakura is my friend, not yours. Mine." Kei left. Karin felt a tear roll down her cheek, forgetting the pain in her arm. Her only thought was: 'What do I tell Sakura?"
