Sempai, My Saviour

Review comments/answers at end of Chapter. Updated the last chapter with minor changes so things flow better.

Update: re-read and caught some more errors for this and last chap.


Last time on Sempai, My Saviour

Keitaro takes his arm that is not trapped under Shinobu and uses his hand to gently lift her face so their eyes met and to softly stroke her cheek with his thumb.

"Shinobu-chan never think of yourself as a bother or a burden. If you ever need help please just ask, if you're sad, lonely, angry, confused please come see me so I can help you."

Shinobu sees the sincerity in his eyes blushes even more and says "Thank you".

Keitaro smiles and tenderly kisses her on the forehead and says "Anything for you my Angel now get some rest OK."

Shinobu snuggles against his chest in order to fell better and she smiles. She might not know what would happen tomorrow, but right now? She was safe.


Chapter 2

The sunlight drifted softly through the slightly open curtains and fell upon a pair of slumbering faces. Keitaro slowly awoke to the rather pleasant feeling of someone asleep in his arms. At first he dismissed it as Su deciding to use him as a security blanket instead of Motoko and so resigned himself to his fate.

'If I'm going to get beaten for sleeping with Su again I might as well get a bit more sleep before all hell breaks loose and I'm punched, kicked and/or slashed for no reason.' He thought with surprising clarity by any ones standards for that time in the morning. 'Wait, if this is Su then why aren't my ribs being crushed?' He pondered as he was slowly waking himself up. He decided to risk seeing who is curled up next to him in his arms and when he saw who it was he immediately started to panic. He didn't even need to see the young girls face to instantly know who owned the blue hair.

'OH MY GOD I'M SLEEPING WITH SHINOBU! How did this happen? The last thing I remember is...oh right she was afraid to sleep by herself.' Sufficiently calmed down enough he looked down at his friend and thought to himself 'Beautiful, I wouldn't mind waking up like this every day.' He suddenly realised what he just thought and blushed. 'Where did that come from? I don't see her like that.' Just then Shinobu woke up and looked at Keitaros smiling face. "Good morning Shinobu-chan did you sleep alright?" he asked her.

She blushed when she realises that she spent the entire night in his arms and said "Yes thank you Sempai, I'm sorry for being such a bother to you." She looked away from him, ashamed that she had inconvenienced him when she feels him pull her closer to him.

"Shinobu-chan I told you last night that you're never a bother to me, remember? And besides I don't mind waking up to see your beautiful face." Both blushed heavily as he said that and Keitaro thought 'What am I doing? Am I flirting with her?' Shaking his head, he told her "We had better get up, the others are going to wonder where you and breakfast are. Do you feel up to doing it or would you like me to do it?"

Thinking for a moment she replied "I think I am."

Smiling at the young woman in his arms, he gave her a quick kiss to the forehead and said "OK, if you give me five minutes to get dressed I'll come down and help you."

Before she could reply, something happened that made both of them freeze and Keitaros blood run cold. The pair looked up in time to see the board that separated his and Naru's room slide away and an upside down head poke through. "Why the hell are you making so much noise this early in the mor-" she trailed off as she noticed that Keitaro is not alone. Not only is he not alone but he also has a girl in his arms. Not only is he not alone and has a girl in his arms, the aforementioned girl just happened to be Shinobu.

Before either of them could do anything Naru took a deep breath and yelled "WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU PERVERT!" She dropped down from her room and drew her arm back. Shinobu is terrified by this sudden attacked; scared witless by the glowing fist travailing very fast towards them, and curled up into a ball to protect herself.

Keitaro is also scared out of his mind but caught Shinobus reaction. He also realised that if Naru was going to hit him with a full powered punch it would likely hit Shinobu as well and while he was miraculously able to survive whatever life at the Hinata threw at him he doubted if the same can be said for Shinobu. Thinking fast he positioned himself on top of the young girl to protect her from Narus wrath.

Naru, with no regard for Shinobu's safety, her mind solely focused on punishing the pervert in front of her, follows through and landed the punch squarely in the centre of his back but unlike any of the times before, Keitaro did not go flying out the window but took the punch as if it was nothing.

Keitaro looked down at the scared young girl beneath trembling in fright. His anger started to rise and he turned to confront the person who did this to his young charge. "Naru what the hell do you think you're doing!? You could have hurt Shinobu-chan with that stunt!" he yelled at her before turning to comfort the young girl.

Naru just stood there confused. This wasn't how things were meant to happen. Keitaro was meant to go flying, she was meant to comfort the poor girl he was trying to molest and he was meant to apologise to her for his perverse behaviour. This was completely wrong and all she could do was stutter an answer "I was... you were... she..."

"Whatever Naru just go." he dismissed her, not even looking up from Shinobu, still trying to calm her down.

"But I was just trying..."She attempted but was cut off.

"I know exactly what you were trying to do, just go". He stated not even looking at her.

Naru was shocked, not only had the fact that she could have severely hurt Shinobu just sunk in, she was just yelled at by Keitaro of all people. No one had ever talked to her this way let alone him!

'What the hell is with this family?! First Haruka-san stops me from dealing with this pervert, when normally she wouldn't even bat an eye and then he yells at me for trying to save Shinobu-chan! What next, some crazy brother-loving adopted sister going to try and evict all of us and turn this place back into an inn?!' Unsure of how to react to this she simply walked out in a daze, totally ignoring her best friend who was awoken by the shouting and was at least hoping for a good show as compensation for being woken from a dirty dream she was having.

She peered in to see what happened and saw Keitaro holding Shinobu. Thinking that this is the perfect opportunity for some teasing she didn't hesitate. "Well Keitaro I never knew you had it in you! And with Shinobu no less! No wonder..." She trailed off as she got a look form Keitaro that implied if she didn't be quiet she will find all her sake poured down the sink and all her rent will be collected by his aunt from now on. It was a very eloquent look. "OK I get the message" She said as she walked back to her room to start the days drinking. With Naru and Kitsune dealt with he turned his attention completely to the girl in his arms. He stroked her back until she calms down.

"There, there Shinobu-chan, don't worry your safe." His words got through to the young girl and she looked up at him.

"S-sempai? W-what happened?"

He sighed "Naru poked her head through the hole and jumped to the wrong conclusion." he informed her sadly.

"Oh, I see. Does she know why I was in here?" She asked worriedly

"No, she left before she asked, but Kitsune saw and she will probably ask us some questions later."

"W-what are we going to tell them? They are going to want to know why I was in here."

"Don't worry Shinobu-chan we'll think of something." In a moment of inspiration he told her "How about we tell them that you had a bad dream and you were too frightened to sleep by yourself. Do you think they will believe that?"

"I don't know." She mumbled.

"Well I suppose it will have to do unless we can think of something better." He smiled reassuringly at her and she gave a small smile back.

"OK, do you still feel up to making breakfast?" He waited for her to nod and said "OK go get dressed and I'll go down and start breakfast". He waited for the girl to close the door before he started to get dressed and head down stairs to wait for Shinobu. She joined him not long after and they worked together to create a big breakfast for the residents of Hinata Sou.


The breakfast table was quiet this morning. Keitaro and Shinobu were quiet in the hope that no one would bring up what had happened this morning. Naru was still trying to process the change that had happened to Keitaro. Motoko rarely talked during meals and today was no different. She made no mention of the incident she heard from the laundry deck. She presumed by the way Naru wasn't glaring at Keitaro that she had given him adequate punishment for whatever perversion he was committing and had no desire hear about what he had done this time. Su... well Su for the most part was Su. She still sucked in all the food that she horded on her plate, paying little attention to what was happening around her pausing only to have a quick sip of her drink. Kitsune was the one Keitaro was most worried about. She had not said a thing since she sat down and had the smile on her face that Keitaro knew and dreaded. What surprised him the most was that she had not said anything about what had happened this morning.

'What's she up to? Normally she would have told Motoko by now and I would be on a free trip to the centre of Tokyo. Hopefully she will just try to black mail me and leave it at that.'

"Well Shinobu-chan once again the meal was delicious, if you girls will excuse me I have some studying to catch up on. If you need me I will be in my room." He smiled at everyone as he gets up to leave. He almost got to the door of the dining area when

"Say, Keitaro why were you and Shinobu hugging in your bed in nothing other than your pyjamas?" Kitsune not so innocently asked.

Keitaro stoped mid-step as the temperature in the room dropped.

"So that's what you were doing this morning you Vile, Perverted Male! I will end your evil ways once and for all! Shinmei-ryu no Jakuzankūsen!" Motoko yelled as she gathered Ki around her sword. In one swift movement she unleashed a powerful attack against him which sent him flying out of the building at high speeds.

"SEMPAI!!" Shinobu yelled as she saw him fly out the building. She rushed to the front door but by the time she gets outside he is but a dot in the distance. "Sempai" she whispered. She started to go after him but when she got to the top step and she stopped. 'I-I can't go by myself. Sempai won't be there to protect me, it will happen again.' She thought to herself. 'I'm sorry Sempai, I'm not strong enough, I'm too scared to leave without you by my side, I'm sorry I can't help you.'

Suddenly she felt a hand on her shoulder. She flinched and looked up to see Motoko looking down at her. "Don't worry Shinobu-chan I will protect you from that pervert!" She told the girl with, in Shinobu's opinion, far too much enthusiasm in her voice.

"But he wasn't doing anything perverted to me. I was..." She suddenly stopped herself before she told them what happened the day before. "I had a bad dream and I asked Sempai if I could sleep with him. He did nothing wrong!"

"Oh" was the only thing she could think of to say to Shinobu's outburst. She suddenly she reflected on what she had done and felt guilty. This being Motoko, of course, the guilt instantly became anger and she directed her anger towards the usual target "Well that fool should know better than to spend the night alone with a young girl. It is not appropriate." She said in an attempt to justify her actions.

They both turned around to see a cackling Kitsune. "Ha ha ha I've never seen you hit that boy so hard before. It will take him ages to get back from where ever it is you sent him. Well, I suppose I'm gonna head out into the hot springs now anyone want to join me?" Everyone agreed that was an excellent idea except Shinobu who stated that she has some school work to finish.

Shinobu ran up to her room and locked her door behind her. She grabed the weird frog stuffed animal that Keitaro had won for her and hugged it to her chest. She alternated between staring off into the distance and looking out her window waiting for her Sempai to get home with tears in her eyes. 'It's my fault. It's always my fault when you get hurt. I'm so sorry Sempai please forgive me.' She stayed like this for twenty minutes thinking the same thought over and over again staring out into space, occasionally glancing out her window to see if he had returned yet, gently rocking backwards and forwards.

-Knock- -Knock-

The sudden noise made the girl scream a little and run to the corner of the room furthest away from the door when a voice called out "Shinobu it's Kaolla, I know you're in there I heard you scream when I knocked, I need to talk to you."


10 minutes earlier in the hot springs

"Naru-sempai? May I ask you something?" Motoko enquired

"Of course Motoko-chan." she replied

"Have you noticed something wrong with Shinobu-chan?"

She thought for a moment and said "Now that you mention it she is acting weird."

"And her last two meals, while still superior to any meal you could find outside Hinata Sou, were not up to her usual standards."

"She's also been acting up around Keitaro." Kitsune put in with a sly grin "And they spent a lot of time together yesterday" her grin widened "And we found them in bed together, you don't think..." She trailed off knowing she didn't have to finish her sentence. There was silence in the Hot Springs for a moment before it the sounds of knuckles cracking and a sword being unsheathed filled the air even though the focus of their attention still hasn't returned. But then a guardian angel saved him without even realising it

"Nah, don't be sillys Fox-Lady, Keitaros likes Shinobus cooking too much too hurt her. Besides she isn't running away from him she's trying to protect him." Su explained as if it were the most obvious thing in the world, which it was if your name wasn't Naru Narusegawa or Motoko Aoyama.

Naru and Motoko relaxed when they saw the logic in what Su said and Kitsune frowned lightly at the young foreigner for ruining her fun.

"I gota go, bananas to eat and inventions to make, seeyas!" Su cheered as she ran off

10 minutes later

The girls decided that they have had enough of the hot springs for now and went their separate ways. Motoko made her way to the kitchen to make herself a cup of tea when she saw her manager walking in the front door. "It's about time you got back Urashima you have been neglecting you duties."

He just stared at her as if she's gone insane. Isn't the reason he hasn't preformed his duties because She blasted him out of the building? "Motoko-chan why did you do attack me this morning." he asked for once wanting an explanation rather than just handing out apologies.

"You know why Urashima, you were taking advantage of Shinobu-chan."

"You didn't even let me explain! She had a bad dream and couldn't sleep by herself, what did you want me to me to do turn her away?"

"That is beside the point, you should know better than to spend the night with an innocent girl. Who knows what you could have done."

He looked at her shocked "Motoko do you really believe that I would, no, that I Could do something like that to Shinobu?"

Completely ignoring the tone of voice she said "I honestly have no idea what a pervert like you is capable of doing."

His eyes widened with hurt and then narrowed in anger "Very well Aoyama-san" he says emphasising the use of her family name as he walks passed her.

Shocked about the use of her last name but more so about the fact that he was walking away from her, she yelled after him. "Urashima! How dare you walk away from me when I'm talking to you!"

He turned around and says with mock cheerfulness "Sorry, but I'm sure you don't want to be associated with a potential rapist like me." Then continued to walk away leaving a speechless Motoko behind. 'I suppose I should check on Shinobu, she seemed pretty upset when I "left". I hope she's not too sad.' He hurries towards Shinobu's room but stopped when he heard raised voices and when he realised that they were coming from Shinobu's room he moved faster. He looked in the open door of her room and saw Su standing in front of Shinobu, the girl sitting on her bed with tears in her eyes.

"Su-chan? Shinobu-chan? What's going on here?"

A few minutes earlier

Kaolla Su wasn't stupid. She was smart. In fact she is very smart. Most people pass her of as an idiot because she always asks if something tastes good. People often forget that Japanese is not her native language and not only is asking if something tastes good a very important question (up there with how to stop global warming and can I eat it?) it is also very funny to see the reactions of her friends.

Friends. Friends was the one thing that takes priority over eating. If there was one thing Kaolla Su knew besides how to make a Tasty Tama soup it is her friends, and since she came back yesterday her best friend had been acting strange.

While she wasn't doing anything openly strange it was the little things that caught her attention. She was spending a lot of time with Keitaro and hardly seems to be separated from him for long. Motoko wasn't the only one who had noticed the drop in quality in the past two meals. She had also seen and heard what had happened last night when Shinobu asked to sleep with Keitaro, while on her way to get a before midnight snack. This by itself was strange seeing as the girl blushed at the thought of being in the same room as the man. However she thought nothing of it at the time. When she said that she was too frightened to sleep by herself it was perfectly reasonable that she would go to Keitaro, after all he was very cuddly and was able to keep away her bad dreams away so why should this be different for the other girls? Besides there was food that needed to be eaten at the time. But now everything pointed to something being very wrong with her friend.

This is what led her to be standing outside of her best friends' room asking to come in

"Shinobu its Kaolla, I know you're in there I heard you scream when I knocked, I need to talk to you." After receiving no answer she tried again. "Please Shinobu it's really important."

"I'm sorry Su but I'm too busy to make you something to eat right now."

Su, slightly hurt that her friend thinks that's the only reason why she wants to talk her best friend is because she is hungry, insists "It's not about that please let me in."

"I'm sorry but I already told you I'm busy."

Su sighed and pulled out a screwdriver from god-knows-where and proceeds to take the door off by the hinges.

"Su! How did you open the door?" Shinobu asks shocked.

"That's not important what is important is what's been going on with you since yesterday."

Shinobu froze when she said that "W-what are you talking about?"

"You know what I'm talking about. You've been acting weird since yesterday. What's going on?"

"Nothing's going on. You're imagining things." She tried to dismiss the subject.

"Shinobu I'm your best friend. I know when something's wrong with you please just tell me!"

"Su-chan? Shinobu-chan? What's going on here?" a voice interjected, making them both look towards the open door to see Keitaro looking at both of them.

"Shinobu has been acting strange since you two came back yesterday and I want to know why."

Keitaro looked from Su to Shinobu and saw the tears of worry in her eyes. Sighing, he said "Su-chan can you give me and Shinobu-chan a minute please"

"But-" She started.

"Please Su-chan just give us a minute."

"...OK" She said reluctantly as she walked out the room, replacing the door as she does.

"OK Shinobu-chan what's going on?"

"Su knows something's going on. I tried to tell her nothing was wrong but she wouldn't listen." She looked down "I'm sorry you got hit again because of me again." She added quietly.

"Shinobu-chan you must never think like that, it wasn't your fault."

"Yes it was. If didn't ask to sleep with you this would never have happened."

"Maybe, but if Naru hadn't jumped to conclusions, Kitsune wouldn't have found out and if it wasn't for Kitsune, Motoko would not have found out. So you see it was just as much their fault if not more so. So don't worry about it."

"OK" She said with a little smile.

"Now what are we going to do about Su?"

"I-I don't know. She knows something is going on but not what. What should we tell her?"

He thought for a moment and said "Shinobu-chan, I think we have to tell her."

"B-but I don't-"

"I know you don't want anyone else to know but will you please hear me out?" He waited for her to nod before continuing."She already knows something's going on and I don't think we will be able to lie to her. Also I'm worried about when you have to go back to school after the holidays. I won't be able to be there for you when you're at school. I will be able to walk you there and back if you want but I won't be able to be in school with you and I would feel better if there's someone to look after you when you're at school." He sighed when the girl said nothing to him "Look Shinobu-chan the decision is yours if you want to tell her or not but just remember that Su-chan is your best friend, she won't think any less of you or love you any less than she does now OK? Whatever you decide I'll still support you."

He gave her time to think about what he has said to her. He was about to ask her if she was alright when she said "I-I think I want her to know."

"OK I will go get her alright?" he smiled at her and walked over to the door.

"Su-chan? You can come in now." he told the girl. Su walked to the middle of the room and waited for an explanation. "Before we can tell you anything you have to promise not to tell anyone OK?" Keitaro told her.

"Of course." She replied

Shinobu took a deep breath and said "Yesterday I was nearly r-raped"

It took a moment to sink in "YOU WERE WH-MMMMMM MM MM" she began to yell before Keitaro, who had anticipated something like this happening, clamped a hand around her mouth.

"Su-chan please you can't yell like that, the other girls will hear!" he begged the girl. When she calmed down he releases her and she rushed over to embrace her friend.

"Oh my god, Shinobu are you OK, please tell me what happened, why didn't you tell me?" Su questioned the girl at a high speed.

Shinobu looked up at her with tears in her eyes and said "Because I didn't want people to know! It's bad enough that Sempai and Haruka-san knows about it!"

"Wait Haruka knows about it!? How come she knows about it before me?"

"Su-chan if you calm down we will tell you. OK?"

For the next five minutes Keitaro told Su how he saved Shinobu from the rapist, how he went to his aunt for help instead of bringing her up here. All the while he is talking to her she never let go of Shinobu. When he finished the story Su thought for a moment then stood up, walked over to Keitaro and gently hugged him, while whispering in his ear "Thank you for protecting Shinobu-chan."

Surprised by the gentle hug instead of the rib cracking one he usually gets, it took him a minute to return the hug. "Any time Su-chan" he whispered back to her. As she left the hug, she returned to her friend to give her a slightly firmer hug to reassure her.

"Please Shinobu don't keep things like this to yourself. You can always tell me anything and I'll always try to help you."

"I know it's just that-"

"I understand, don't worry about it." Su smiled at the girl and hugged her again. Keitaro smiled at the two girls happy that they are still friends. "OK girls I have to get to work fixing the hole I made this morning are you going to be OK?"

Shinobu looked up at him and said "I think so." Su smiled a big toothy grin and nodded her head.

"OK I'll see you two at lunch." he said with a smile before going to repair the hole he and Motoko made.

Lunch time quickly came around and everyone noticed that Shinobu seemed happier than earlier and also the quality food has returned to Shinobu's usual standards.

"Can someone please pass the soy sauce?" Everyone looked at the sauce next to Keitaro but he doesn't respond.

"Hey idiot you gone deaf Motoko asked you to pass the sauce." Growled Naru, who had since gotten over her confusion the same way she usually did i.e. by being angry at Keitaro.

He didn't even look up when he said "I'm sure Aoyama-san wouldn't want anything from me."

Everyone looked a little surprised by the formal address he rarely uses with her. "Err, Kei what do you mean by that?" Kitsune asks him.

"Well seeing as she thinks I'm a potential rapist I don't think she would want my help."

"I did not say that!" she replied angrily, feeling slightly guilty over the exchange that happened earlier, but not entirely sure why.

"As good as." he muttered.

"Stop being overly dramatic you idiot."

"Whatever." he said not wanting to get into an argument. "At least some people don't think I'm a pervert." he said quietly to himself.

However he hadn't said it as quietly as he had hoped, as Naru heard and interpreted it as meaning Shinobu.

"Well if you like Shinobu-chan so much why don't you just go out with her?!"

Angry at being drawn in a fight he yells "Fine I will!"

"WHAT!!" Everyone yelled and including Keitaros mind, having just caught up with what his mouth said.

Realising that he would look like a fool even more so than usual if he backed down he turned to Shinobu and says "Shinobu-chan would you like you to go on a date with me this afternoon?" He asked with a smile.

"R-really?" She asked with her eyes as big as saucers, too shocked by the prospect of going out on a date with her Sempai to blush.

"Of course. Seeing as we have Naru-san's blessing it won't be a problem. So do you want to go?"

"YES!" She said a bit quicker and a bit louder than she wanted.

"OK how about we leave at 3?"

"That's fine."

"OK I'll be in my room if anyone needs me." he smiled at her picks up his plate and leaves.

Everyone was shocked by this turn of events. Well everyone except Su and Shinobu, the former not paying attention as long as there was some food left on her plate and the latter only thinking 'I'm going on a date with Sempai! I'm going on a date with Sempai!'

Once again Kitsune was the first to recover "Well that was unexpected wasn't it?" to which Naru and Motoko could only nod.


The next couple of hours were filled with Naru studying to block out the feelings of jealousy she was having for some reason, Motoko running through her schools Kata's to get rid of the feelings of guilt which were appearing from somewhere, Kitsune drinking in preparation for the show that was going to start at 3 o'clock, however fell into a drink induced nap, Su was chasing around Tama yelling something about making tama soup, while Shinobu rifled through her closet to find something to wear for her first ever date, and Keitaro was just trying to stay out of everyone's way.

3 O'clock came around and with everyone embroiled with their own activities no one was there to see the couple off.

"Sempai, I'm ready." Shinobu said as she descended the stairs and saw Keitaro waiting for her.

"Hey Shinobu-chan, how are..." he trailed off as he stared at the vision of loveliness before him. She wore a pale blue sundress which hugged her small frame, accentuating her slight curves and only a light touch of makeup on her face, complementing her already beautiful features. "Wow." He murmured.

Blushing, Shinobu asked "Is there something wrong Sempai?"

"N-no it's just you look really beautiful." He stuttered.

Shinobu blushed a deeper red at the complement and said bashfully "Thank you Sempai, shall we go?"

"S-sure" he said, still admiring the beauty of the young woman before him. Waking out the front door together and towards the stairs, Shinobu reached the first step but froze, thinking that she wouldn't be safe if she leaves the protection of Hinata Sou and started to have second thoughts about going out on the date.

She was about to move away from the steps when Keitaro took a hold of her hand. Surprised at the intimate contact between her and her crush, she looked up at his smiling face. Keitaro had noticed Shinobu's hesitation and had correctly guessed that she was nervous about leaving the safety of the dorm.

"Don't worry Shinobu-chan. I'm right here; I won't let anything happen to you."

Feeling more confident she griped his hand tightly and moved slightly closer to him and smiled "OK let's go."

With that they both head off for their first date.


Well that's another chapter done. I know there's not much romance yet but I'm trying to build up to it and I should start the romance in the next chapter or the one after. No idea how long this fic will be or when I'll be able to update. I hope you were able to keep up with all the jumping around near the end. Again after a week I will re post this Chapter with improvements, corrections and review comments/answers if there are any or if I post a new chapter before a week I will do it then.

Other things

1) I think I should apologise for the little Kanako cameo. She's one of my two favourite Hinata girls (the over being Shinobu) but I can't think of a way to work her into this fic so I thought I should give her a quick mention, even if it did make me cringe a bit to do it like that.

2) Shinmei-ryu no Jakuzankūsen is "Lesser Air-Cutting Flash" .

3).When Su speaks in the hot springs chances are the spelling mistakes are on purpose.

Reviews:

Midrom - Yeah, that was me being lazy. I think I clicked on to cut instead of copy. I fixed it so I hope it makes sense now.

Starfire99- When I wrote that A/N I wasn't sure if I would continue the story as I wanted to see what the reviews said and if I got any inspiration. As you can see I obviously have had some ideas

Cheshire Cat5- Yeah it was meant to be angel but i have dyslexia so I sometimes mess up the order of the letters. Also I get what you're saying about the swearing but I think Kei was justified in doing so as he was panicking and worried about what happened to Shin. But I probably won't be using F*ck any more at the worst ill probably use 'hell'.

drag0nsclaw - I agree I think the age gap is too big so the ages will be

Kei & kit - 20

Naru - 18

Motoko - 17

Su & shin - 16

Not sure when I'm gonna put it in but I've got an idea about how they're going to confess to each other

Thanks to all of you who reviewed the first chapter and I hope you enjoy this one.
