I wake up in the middle of the night again. Serene's still not back. She hasn't been here yet… Maybe I should check the Training hall. I quickly run to the Training hall to see if she's there. She is! And she's training. I should probably apologize for my outburst earlier. I now notice that she's fighting Reekava, from the looks of it she has the slight advantage but that could easily change especially if see find out a psyops tactic that works. "Serene will win!" Will you go back to being unbiased? I then walk in and try to figure out how to diffuse the situation. "Is this all you got? Your tricks won't work on me bitch you should just go back to tormenting tied up prisoners!" Serene mocks. "Mock me all you want Bitch! No matter what you say I know Ari still loves me!" She says stabbing at the hornet's nest that the subject is. "Coming from someone who only loves part of her I love all of her both Arisana and Arika, and they both love ME!" She says as she pivots around to her back shield bashes her and leave multiple lit firecrackers in her shirt. She quickly gets rid of the firecrackers and shoots multiple paintballs at her. Serene blocks with her shield then throws it at her which hits her in the stomach. As she is recovering Serene dashes up to her and does a three hit combo knocking her down, but as she raising her sword to do the finishing blow her wound opens up and falls to her knees in pain holding her now bleeding stomach. I then run over to Serene and help her up. Reekava helps as well as we get her to the infirmary. "Why are you helping me?" Serene asks Reekava considering they're both competing for my heart. "Do I need a reason to help a fellow knight?" I guess she has a point. After all it's also her fault that Serene's injury was reopened. "...It seems you're not all bad at least you have chivalry, we would probably be friends if weren't both after the same girl." Serene admits. "You don't need to admit anything you're better Serene-Chan!" I ignore Arika and we make it to the infirmary. "Bachmel! We need your help again." We tell her as we carry Serene in and place her on one of the beds. Her bleeding seems pretty serious. Then again her shirt is covered in it so I can't tell. Bachmel quickly rolls over and lifts up her shirt. "Don't worry it's not very serious but I will keep her overnight so she can heal. Don't worry." She says it twice to either worry us even more or reassure us. Bachmel sends us out so she can start fixing her. "No we have to stay with her!" No Arika we can't unless I'm horribly injured which I'm not. "But Serene-Chan needs me..." What she needs is the Doctor's help and space. Both of which we will give her. Once outside the office Reekava decides to finally say something. "Say now that we got a chance what would you say to a walk? After all it's been a long time since we last saw each other." I guess it wouldn't- "Say no, we need to go to sleep so we can get up early tomorrow early to greet Serene-Chan"!" No Arika. I'll do what I want to do. "Sure Reekava we can walk around and talk." She smiles and nods. I guess she likes the idea. "What the hell? I let you use MY body then you do this!" I ignore her as I walk with Reekava. As we walk I can't seem to stop staring at her. She's almost irresistible in the moonlight. "What the hell do you think you're doing!?" I continue to try and ignore her and feel her grab my hand. I don't mind as we continue to walk around just making small talk. Until Reekava mentions something. "Hey Ari?" She says bringing me back to reality. "Hmm? What is it?" I ask wondering what she could be questioning me about. "Do you remember the first time you said you loved me?" Well I sort of remember.

Arisana's POV
I made sure to invite Reekava and a couple of other girls in my class to my room tonight so we could all study and pass the final… Though it seems the only one who showed up is my friend Reekava. I just hope Arika doesn't show up and make a mess of things. She's almost impossible to control. "Say Ari. I can't seem to figure this one out." Hmm? I walk over to Reekava's side of the table. "Oh that? Just carry the seven and that'll work." "Ugh this is boring let's blow somthing up! We can use the explosives Dad keeps hidden away if we head home instead of doing this snore fest!" No I gotta keep myself in control. I sit back down across from Reekava and continue studying… Well I try. I can't seem to stop thinking about her. Like yesterday in class how I wasn't paying attention and had to skip to the reading he was testing me on. "She's nothing special. Definitely not the one I've been waiting for." What on Isora is she talking about? "Say Ari?" What? Does she have another problem? "What is it?" She then closes the textbook and puts it on the table. I guess it's not a problem from the book? "I've been thinking. We've been friends since fifth grade when you transferred here. But I have to ask are we just friends? Or are we something more?" I feel myself start to heat up. "Well that's stupid the one I long for is a majestic knight with hair as blue as the ocean itself and has the scent of fresh roses. You are not HER!" Quit ruining the mood! "I- I don't know if I understand." It's not like I know much about this sort of thing. "Simple she's not our mate so say we're nothing more than friends, done." I'm not taking advice from you. "Well I would like to be more though." I say as I start twirling my hair around my finger. Reekava then turns red. "Well I feel something special with us. So I was hoping you'd say that. I love you Arisana. I love you so much that I never want to be separated from you." I feel my heart skip a beat. I guess this is the part that I get to repeat what she said right? "WHAT NO DON'T DO THAT!" For some reason her voice sounds closer than before... "I-I love you too… Reekava. I don't ever want to leave your side…" I'm finding it hard to catch my breath for some reason. "NO NO NO NOOO! SHE IS NOT THE ONE I LONG FOR! THIS BITCH WILL NEVER BE HER NEVER!". I'm starting to feel my grip on reality fade… Oh no! This means Arika's going to rip everything to shreds!
Arika's POV
I won't let her win! This is MY Body! I quickly pick up the table the Green haired girl is leaning on and throw it at the far wall! "NO ARIKA DON'T HURT HER PLEASE!" I then lift the girl and throw her at another wall this time making her land on her arm. "DON'T HURT REECKAVA PLEASE STOP!" "You aren't the one I've been waiting for. So I'll get rid of you." I say claiming my victory over this girl. "The one you've been waiting for? What are you talking about? More importantly who the hell are you? You clearly aren't Ari." She says rebelliously. She then stands up holding her arm. "Well I guess since I'm going kill you you should know what I call myself. I am Arika. The true owner of this body." I then charge at her but she runs out of the way. "STOP NO MORE PLEASE!" She seems to be trying to think… I then turn to the Mirror which has the sniveling Sana reflected in it. "What do I get if I stop? What are you going to do for me?" I ask Sana in the reflection. "Anything please stop hurting her!" she pleads. "I'll consider it but only on the condition I get to keep this body. Got it?" I say to her. "What you can't do that it's MY body!" I knew she wasn't going to agree to that. "Well then you don't care what happens to her? I guess I can throw her out of your 'll be dead before she hits the ground. After I'm done with her." I once again threaten Sana with the life of her friend. "Wait no please about you get weekends? That way you won't have to deal with school!" she offers. Hmm. Well it would be her freely giving up MY body. School is a pain in the ass anyway. Suddenly I notice someone with a stick. Before I can react I am surrounded by darkness.
Arisana's POV
I wake up back in control. I then notice Reekava lying on the ground in pain! I run to my rooms intercom and press the red button so I can get the nurse here to help her. After a few minutes a Nurse with blue hair finally comes by. She then notices Reekava and runs over to her. She then tells me. "Her arm is broken. Have the hospital get an ambulance here! Now!" I then quickly call Mom's hospital on my cell phone and tell them we need an ambulance. They get to the school in almost 10 minutes and come get her.
Back to the present(Future!)
With what happened and the ensuing fight fresh in my mind I feel a little depressed. "I'm sorry about what happened Reekava." I say feeling super guilty about what happened. I then feel something warm against my lips. Reekava is kissing me? "No stop her! Don't cheat on Serene-Chan!" Shut up for God's sake. I enjoy the kiss for a couple of seconds then we part. "Don't worry about it Ari. I don't blame you at all for what happened. In fact I still love you. Do you feel the same way?" She asks. I start to feel guilty that I can't give her the answer she wants. "Just tell her no Serene-Chan is our mate!" you may not like Reekava. But I do! This is my time to tell her what I want! "Sorry Reekava but I don't know I'm conflicted." I tell her. She smiles. "Then don't worry about it. I'll give you some space and some more time. Take as long as you need to find your answers." With that I suggest we head back to our barracks. She agrees and I manage to have a fairly easy night of sleep.
