Chapter 2

I don't own Hakouki!

The day came to an end quicker than Ren expected. She sighed as she waited for everyone else to exit the room. She had to see Mr. Sanaan at the end of the day she remembered. She didn't want to go because she had Kendo practice but Mr. Sanaan wasn't a man to disobey. He had an easygoing exterior but in the right circumstances he could be like a demon.

Ren reluctantly gathered her things and exited the room making it to blocks of teacher's offices. When she turned the corner she ran smack dab into someone, a whirlwind of papers following her as she fell back hitting her head on the corner of the wall as she went.

The last thing she saw before she her vision went black was dark blue.

-In a hallway in the school-

"Chizuru." Kazama whispered into the girls ear causing her to jump.

"I apologize." She bent down on her knees picking up the books with the label Minori on them. Said girl was standing with her arms crossed over her chest, a scowl on her face.

"Kazama don't talk to that…girl. If you can even call her that." Chizuru looked up at the insult but shook her head and picked up the last book.

A pale hand was offered to her as she made to stand up. Chizuru looked up into red eyes what smiled with a hint of….she couldn't place it.

Minori gasped at the contact and pushed the girl back down on the ground breaking the contact between Kazama and Chizuru but before she could get a word in edgewise someone tall was standing over the small girl helping her up.

Minori backed up at the sight of the man, his purple eyed gaze cut her. Minori backed up and grabbed Kazama's wrist pulling him along behind her. The last thing she caught before turning the corner was the tall stranger offering a hand to Chizuru asking her if she was okay.

A shortie I know!
