[Spineless]

Asuna drifted off into her head, to say she was worried was an understatement. Asuna finished class and went straight to the dorm only to find Naomi there still dressed in her uniform sleeping. She tried to shake her awake, but Naomi was in such a deep sleep she moved like a ragdoll. Even when the night and morning came, Naomi slept through the alarm and the incessant shakes Asuna would give her, so much so, Asuna checked if she had a pulse.

She sighed in relief when she felt the pulsing of Naomi's heart on her wrist.

"Thank God..." Asuna whispered.

And with that done, Asuna left for class.

When she arrived to class she began to wonder what could possibly have Naomi so troubled, and why the Headmaster would want to make her into a prefect? It didn't make any sense to her... Sure, Naomi's top of her class and is attending Cross Academy on a scholarship, but an older student meets the same requirements. Not to mention, that the only people who are prefects are the Headmaster's adoptive children and no one's ever gotten asked to become a prefect before.

Asuna stared at her open notebook as she began to relentlessly tap her pen against it, until her professor spoke up:

"Ms. Asuna, I hope you were paying attention."

Asuna darted her gaze towards the front of the class, blushing madly. She had never not payed attention in class.

"Tell me the name of the Commander who led the attack on Pearl Harbor during World War Two?" His tone was sharp and Asuna never felt so embarrassed in her life.

"I don't know, professor." She said sheepishly.

"You would've if you had been paying attention, It was Isoroku Yamamoto." The professor turned his back to the class and wrote the chalkboard, "He was later shot down while he was on a plane by an American pilot."

Asuna, utterly humilated, forxed herself to get through the day without giving so much thought into Naomi's well-being. Which she failed at, at times during the day. She felt a weight lift off her shoulders when she heard the westminster bell indicating class was over.

Without a second thought, Asuna, headed straight towards the Headmaster's office.

Naomi got answers, maybe I can too.

Once, she was staring infront of his office door, she raised her hand and hesitated.

No, this isn't the time for cold feet.

Knock! Knock!

"Headmaster Cross, can I come in?" She sounded braver than she felt.

"Come in." His voice was cheery.

Asuna stepped in and closed the door behind her, "Headmaster, I'm worried about Naomi."

"Whatever for?" He smiled.

Asuna breathed in, "She's been asleep for all of yesterday and this day."

"I'm sure it's because of her nightly escaped two days ago, she's just getting rest."

Keep pressing.

"Why are you trying to get her to be a prefect, Headmaster?" Asuna inquired, "No one has ever been a prefect besides Zero Kiryu and Yuki Cross."

Cross smile wavered, "She's an excellent student besides her knack for rule breaking."

"There are plenty of other 'excellent' students, who don't have a 'knack for rule breaking'." Asuna stated.

I should not be talking to the Headmaster this way! He's going to expel me for being disrespectful!

Naomi's voice came up frok the back mind, Too late now, stick with your gut.

"I confinded with her something all prefects know." He became serious, "And I'm sorry, but I cannot tell her. I suggest you head to your dorm room and speak of this no further."

Asuna, who lacked the spine Naomi has, did just that. As Asuna walked back to the dorms, the sun was rolling down and the moon was surfacing. Knowing, Naomi was fine and most likely asleep, she took her time walking to the Sun dorms and thought of how cold the Headmaster's eyea became. It was like he waa different person, not the goofy principal the students knew.

Asuna shivered, I should leave this alone. It's none of my business... If Naomi doesn't want to tell me then that's her choice.

She made her into the dark halls, the moon was glowing fully and the sun was no where in sight, and into her dorm room.

"Nao-"

She was gone.

Let it be, it's none of your business.

And it hurt to let go.

a/n: wow, probs the only glimpse you'll see inside of Asuna's mind. i feel bad for her... poor thing.*
