After a full period of math class and fighting practice, Leah went to her dorm room to go and take and nap since all of her classes were done for the evening. She had a katana sword swung over her right shoulder while holding a few tissues over her left eye.
'Maybe I should go to the Nurses office,' Leah thought yawning loudly, "But right now, I just want to go to my dorm and sleep. It's too much of a pain to find the nurses office in this school."
"Why are you saying it like that?" A voice asked from behind making Leah turn around and see Mai, Chie, and Aoi.
"Oh. Hey, guys. What are you doing here?" Leah asked them.
"We were walking back to our dorms and-"
"Whoa! What happened to your eye?" Aoi said interrupting what Mai was saying.
"Oh, this? It's nothing. It's just a scratch, that's all," Leah said as Mai was able to pull the tissues away from the girl's left eye. Revealing a severe looking scar that ran down the dark haired girls eye that made it close from the wound as blood was running down the right tissue of the eye socket of it along with the gash that was open.
"You call something like that a scratch?"
"It's like a battle wound or something like that," Chie said taking a picture of it on he cell phone, "You've been in college for four weeks now, and you're already getting into fights."
"Hey. This wasn't from a fight. Well, not on per-say. To me, it's not though," Leah said feeling Mai and Aoi pulling on her arms, 'Not again.' "Hey. Wait a second."
"We're taking you to the nurses office," Mai said.
"Hey. Don't I get a say in this?" Leah objected.
"Nope. Now, come with us," Aoi said pulling on Leah's right arm towards the nurses office.
'Why me?'
At the nurses office, Youko was examining Leah's eye wound before cleaning it.
"Well, it looks like your eye's gonna be fine in a couple of weeks or so. The sword didn't hit your eye directly, but it's gonna cause you to not see very well through that eye for a while," Youko told Leah finishing up the remaining blood that was left on her wounded eye.
"Thanks, Nurse Youko. But I could've done it myself if Mai, Aoi, and Chie haven't brought me here," Leah said who stood still from Youko cleaning her wound.
"Honestly. You're like Natsuki. Trying to be the lone wolf when you need help on something," Mai said.
"Come to think of it, she kinda does behave like Natsuki does sometimes," Chie said with a hand on her chin after taking a few pictures on her phone.
"Yeah, Chie's right," Aoi said.
"Sh-Shut-up. I can take care of myself," Leah muttered.
"Whatever," Leah tiredly huffed as Youko put tape over the cotton that was over her left eye.
'There. Now, it may be a bit swollen from the cut, but you put ice on it, the swelling should go down," The purple-haired nurse told Leah.
"Okay. Thank you." Leah, Mai, Chie, and Aoi left the office and to the dorms.
"Geez. How are you gonna explain this to everyone tomorrow?" Mai wondered.
Leah shrugged. "I dunno. It's just a stupid wound. It'll go away in a few weeks."
"That's not what they'll think," Chie told Leah.
"Whatever. I just want to go to my dorm and take a nap before something else happens," Leah replied loudly yawning after speaking lightly poking at her left-covered eye, "But it's gonna be pretty weird seeing through only my right eye, though."
At the dorm, Leah was sleeping soundly while listening to Owl City 'Fireflies' and holding her pillow in her sleep as she was suddenly heard someone open the door of the dorm. Making the girl open her eye and seeing a girl who was about a year older than her with dark red hair, and dark green eyes. She wore a skimpy mini skirt with a tang top and clear high-heeled shoes.
To Leah, the red-head looked like a wondering prostitute. However, when her vision cleared up a bit, Leah could see that the red-haired girl was quite pretty in what she wore.
And hot.
Then, she saw the dark eyed girl smile while looking at Leah still holding her pillow like a little child.
"Like what you see?"
"E-Eh?"
"I see you oggling at me." The girl smirked while watching Leah sit up from her bed with drool running down her mouth. Seeing the red-head girl walk up to her and wipe the drool from the right side of the light dark brown skinned girl's mouth with a tissue she had in her purse. "Nice trademark."
"H-Huh?" Leah dully blinked.
"Your eye."
"Oh. Yeah. I kinda got into a fight."
"Hm. I see. And judging how I've never seen you before you must be new to this college."
"Hai. I'm new."
"Then, I'm Nao. Nao Yuuki," The dark red-head named Nao introduced herself.
"I'm Leah. Leah Roberts," Leah told Nao yawning behind it, making Nao lightly laugh at that, "N-Nani? (What?)"
"It's nothing. You remind me of Kuga whenever she's tired like that," Nao giggled who ruffled Leah's dark brown hair.
"Oh, yeah. You're Natsuki's cousin. Four times removed, right?"
"No. Three times removed actually. But good guess, though, Kid."
'Kid?' Leah inwardly repeated, "Anyway, why are you back from the hospital so early? I thought you wouldn't be back here for another month."
"Heh. I'm a fast healer when it comes to gang fights," Nao chuckled who stood up from Leah's bed, "You can explain to me on the details on that eye."
"Uh, yeah. I guess," Leah muttered as Nao began to take off her clothes, "Do the doctors know you're here?"
"Nah. Can't stand to be in the hospital for very long. Too many bad memories," Nao replied as Leah saw a row of stitches going down the red's back and stomach.
"Are those still fresh?"
"What? You mean these?" Nao points at her stitches who was in her bra and underwear. "Yep. About a week old, in fact from an operation I had on my back and stomach."
"An operation? What kind of operation?" Leah wondered as she heard a cell phone go off. Seeing Nao pick up her cell phone and answered it.
"Hello? Yeah. Yeah. I got it. I'll get there when that's my response to him! Whatever." Then Nao paused for a moment before yelling, "Because he left us!" Angrily hanging up her cell. "Damn. Sorry about that, kid. Just some shit I'm trying to work out."
"Oh." Leah nodded in understanding as Nao continued to change into some comforting clothes.
"So, why are you in the place?" Nao asked while looking through her clothes in closet.
"Cloud, Tifa, and Aeris signed me up to this college since I was home-schooled most of my life," Leah explained, "They said that it'll help me talk to other people better and make new friends. And I've met Mai, Natsuki, Mikoto, Chie, Aoi, and the Student Council people a few times."
"Oh, you mean Fujino and them?"
"Yeah. The only thing I don't get is why Mai being so concerned about me when I'm injured, Chie and the cellphone, and Haruka calling Shizuru Bubuzuke?"
"Eh, Mai's always caring about her friend's health just like a mother. I never really understood it that much. As for Chie and her phone, I think you'll find out tomorrow. And for Haruka and Shizuru, I guess Haruka calls Shizuru Bubuzuke is out of jealousy. She thinks Fujino's her rival or something."
"Wow. A lot of things in such a campus," Leah said in amazement seeing Nao walk out the door, "Wait. Where are you going?"
"Into town. Why? You wanna come with, Kid?" Nao smiled as Leah thought about it before Nao saw the other teen girl nod her head. Seeing the girl jump out of bed, Nao waited for Leah to get ready to go out who saw her wearing a light blue hoody with black pants, black shoes, and her katana sword strapped to her back. She also wore a skii hat and goggles over it.
"Okay. I'm ready," Leah said a her and Nao left the Fuka dorms and walked into town.
