I really hate this chapter. It was a struggle to get to the 200 word minimum.
This is based off a Shun/Alice scene in the Japanese version (they edited it out of the English!). It's from Episode 20: "A Little Help From My Friends" - basically, Komba challenges Shun to a brawl, Alice jumps in front of him because she doesn't want him to fight, so Komba pushes her.
I really like the scene, but I still hate this chapter.

Komba pushed her roughly and she fell. She felt herself falling, falling… until a pair of strong arms caught her. They wrapped around her, keeping her safe from danger. She looked up and saw Shun; his eyes, usually warm and golden, now looked icy silver in the moon's glow.
She went to stand up on her own, but he refused to let go of her. Not until he settled things with Komba.
Alice didn't want him to fight, not alone. But now that Komba had tried to hurt her, it seemed to trigger a reaction inside of him. He was usually cool, calm and collected; now he seemed angry, protective even.
He reluctantly let go of her, yet still shielding her body with his own. As she watched him pull on his black gloves, she wanted to run out again. To stop him from fighting. To tell him that it was too dangerous to think that he could take on everything by himself. But maybe this was one battle that he had to fight on his own.
Maybe this would teach him that some things couldn't always be faced alone.
Maybe this would teach him about the danger of forgetting about his friends.
Thanks again for all of your reviews! Keep them coming! :D
I promise the next chapter, E for Everything, will be much better!
