"…"
"…"
"My, it seems like no one's here." A seductive and light voice spoke in the silence found within the small apartment, wooden puppets following her every move while she played around with a set of vials in her hands, each one a different color from the last and each one glowing dangerously as she popped the cork off of one. Within the house itself, these puppets were looking through everything and placing them back with surgical and expert precision, robotic movements nowhere to be found and replaced by a chilling smoothness to its movements unseen in robots.
Static rang out in the quiet room as their communication devices came to life. "No one in the surrounding areas fits the description of our target, Haruka-sama."
Sighing in disappointment, the buxom woman runs a hand through her blonde hair, tied up by a ribbon as she responds. "That's fine, let's go get into position before Homura loses her patience, tell her we couldn't find him."
"Right, then let's go, she should be waiting for us." A blonde with a green princess-like clothes says, hefting her large broadsword that was her height at least, her polite manners a stark contrast to the bloodlust rolling off of her in waves. "I believe it's time we introduce ourselves."
As the two left in a flurry of movement, barely interrupting anything, the apartment was empty.
At around the middle of the day, extremely late to school and the bags under his eyes the same as always, a brunette with blue eyes and a section of his silver hair tied and framing his face, entering the apartment as he stretched. "Damn, those bullets hurt a lot more than before, I must be losing my touch."
Last night's raid took a lot longer than he thought it would, not to mention all the hits he took due to being distracted. It disappointed him a lot more than it was supposed to. He woke up later than usual, though considering the minor insomnia he has, the fact he slept at all is a miracle, but he decided to use the time to check out the forge he found last time, not to mention get the materials needed to forge a sword next time he stopped by.
Though his face quickly scrunched up as he caught the lingering scent of something in his apartment. "Ugh, what is that?" Quickly, he opens the windows, airing out the apartment before releasing a breath of fresh air. "That's good." Turning, he takes the time to run a finger through the dinner table as he hums. "Hmm, a bit of cleaning would be good for this place."
With that, the young man heads out to get some cleaning equipment while leaving his phone off in his room. Multiple calls entering but none being picked up as the girls worry endlessly, with the exception of a white-haired girl, who just doesn't like seeing Hibari so worried.
After he was done cleaning, he had a workshop to get to.
"Wait, wait, wait, are you talking about Caleb?" Ikaruga asks, her head cocked to the side as Homura just smirks.
"Yeah, him, so he really is your shared boyfriend?" She asks with a mocking tone only eliciting minor embarrassment and jealousy from two girls, disgust from another, while the last two are too distracted to really comment.
"He is not." Ikaruga says, chest puffed out as she grasped the handle of her katana, "But he is our friend and we cannot let that slide."
"What did you do to him?" Hibari yelled, glaring at the tan girl who just shrugs at Hibari's glare, resembling a rabbit more than a killer, as she just turned back to the others, to Hibari's outrage.
While the two were having the conversation, Katsuragi subtly grabbed her phone so she can try to call him while Homura continued to talk. "Like I said, all you need to do is give up your Super-Secret Ninja Art Scroll and you can have him back." She starts before tapping the side of her chin, "Or," she starts with a shrug before her expression becomes bloodthirsty, "I can take it by force!"
Katsuragi clicks her tongue, the call didn't connect, so either his phone is off or they destroyed it, but that doesn't change the fact that it doesn't matter. She'll beat the Evil Shinobi and get her friend back, "Fine, if you're itchin' for a fight, I'll-."
"Wait, Katsu-nee," Asuka stopped her, stepping in front of her with a heated glare, "She's mine."
"Huh?" Katsuragi mutters in surprise, noticing how this fight seems to be personal. Despite everything in her saying to act first, she steps back, letting Asuka square up with the tan girl as she unsheathes a sword.
All of them have been taught that Shinobi battles are one-on-one, but Katsuragi is having trouble reigning her own bloodlust as she taps her foot against the floor, fighting with herself as to either break that rule of just stop Asuka from fighting entirely.
"If you really want to fight," an emotionless voice spoke from beside Homura, ambling beside the tan girl with an uncaring attitude, "I'll take you on."
The new girl steps closer, serpentine amber eyes with short green hair, wearing a short and ripped up yellow shirt with black stripes, the snake design hard to see but the snake tattoos on her person clear and obvious. Her jeans also had gashes on them , revealing a recurring theme in her clothes as the gashes revealed pale and healthy skin on her jeans and a lot of breast being revealed from her top, something she would have loved to study with more intensity if the situation was any different.
"Who are you?" Katsuragi asks, walking forward to meet the greenette as the greenette tilts her head.
"Hikage." The girl responds as Katsuragi gets closer.
In a move that Katsuragi almost missed, Hikage unsheathes a knife the edge moving closer to her as she leaps back at the last second, making some distance as she asks her next question. "So, how strong are you?"
"As strong as I have to be." The greenette answers back as Katsuragi raises a brow in confusion.
"Meaning what?" Katsuragi asks, her confusion evident.
"If I'm not strong, I'm not following orders." Hikage elaborates as Katsuragi nods along, realizing that the Evil Shinobis are following orders if the greenette's strength is anything to go off of.
Katsuragi practically shakes in excitement at the opportunity to fight someone as strong as Hikage. Looking back, she sees Ikaruga, Hibari and Yagyu standing back, their hands on their respective weapons, or fists gripped tight in Hibari's case, she says, "Stand back everyone. We'll take care of this."
Ikaruga nods and Yagyu steps back, pulling Hibari along who followed reluctantly as Asuka and Homura began to circle each other and Katsuragi did the same with Hikage.
For the first time, she and Asuka will get their first taste of real combat, despite the worry she's feeling from Caleb's unknown status.
"So, Jugs," Homura starts, using the nickname she used when the two first met, "turns out you're a Shinobi after all."
"Yeah," Asuka starts, relaxing a bit as she continues, "I gotta admit, I didn't expect to meet you like this. Can I ask you something? What do you need the Super Secret Ninja Art Scroll for? To the point of kidnapping a civilian too?"
"You have to ask?" She starts, scoffing as she looked away for a second and muttering under her breath, "The kidnapping wasn't my idea, but it doesn't change the fact that it's all to become the most powerful shinobi, of course."
"The most powerful…?" Asuka mutters under her breath.
"With both school's Scrolls in my hands, I'll be unbeatably strong." Homura says with conviction as she grasps her hands.
Asuka quickly shakes her head, rebuking, "That's ridiculous! You don't need the Scrolls to be strong! You can get there through training!"
"'Strength at all costs.' That's the way of Hebijo." Homura retorted with little care.
"But that goes against the true Path of the Shinobi!" Asuka points out and Homura just releases a breath of amusement.
"If it really bothers you so much, then come here and do something about it!" Homura challenged with a superior tone. "Your 'Path of the Shinobi; is a joke, and I'll prove it to you!"
"My Path is no joke!" Asuka retorts before getting into a fighting stance, "For justice's sake, I will not abide you!"
"Shinobi Tenshin!" The two proclaimed as they were covered by a light for a brief scant seconds before it dissipated, revealing their respective school uniforms as Asuka's blue skirt flapped in the wind while Homura's gray skirt and blazer settled on her shoulders along with the small cape around her shoulders.
As one, the two unsheathed their weapons, Asuka grabbing her dual wakizashi and Homura reaching for her back where six sword rest. Both hands reached up, grabbing the handles of the swords in between the gaps of her fingers as she unsheathed them in one move, as she got into a stance.
A second later, the two clashed, Asuka grunting as she struggled to block all of the sword in each of Homura's hand with her wakizashi. Asuka couldn't help but acknowledge Homura's strength in the back of her mind,
"Oh, you've lasted longer than I thought you would." Homura mutters, outraging Asuka as she gave her a questioning look. "Well, you are the elites after all. It wouldn't be worth much if you couldn't hold your own!"
As the two pushed away, devolving into a series of slashes, with Asuka on the defensive, evading each of Homura's attacks, Katsuragi wasn't having as much luck.
"There!" She yells, lashing out with a leg as she tries to catch Hikage off-guard but the amber-eyed girl just collapses onto her knees mid-charge, sliding on the floor as she slashes at the inside of Katsuragi's leg in a move that would have severed her tendon and left her useless as her Shinobi Transformation instead reflected the damage on her clothes as she flinched before leaping back.
Hikage just waited like a snake waiting for something to get close enough as Katsuragi bounced on the balls of her feet, her greaves clicking with each move as she moved while clicking her tongue. She hasn't been able to get a good hit in at all, what's worse is that the targets aren't too different, arms, legs, head, torso, Hikage aimed for all of them, but it was getting there and stopping there that Katsuragi is having trouble with.
Her movements were unpredictable and the few times Katsuragi has tried to force the girl into one location to pin her down or leave a false opening, she'd turn it into a genuine opening, not to mention how little effect her kicks were making when she actually managed to land a hit. "Aren't you getting tired?" She asks, tilting her head with the same expresionless face that only serves to anger Katsuragi further, the blonde scoffing as she returns to her stance.
"I'm just getting started." She mutters, the greenette blinking.
"Didn't you say tha-." Before she could finish, Katsuragi blitzed forward, wind following her trajectory as she goes for a dive kick, cracking the floor as she follows with a back kick then following with a spinning hook kick before going for a sweep as she places a hand on the floor as she swings with it like a break dancer, trying to catch the greenette off-guard but the only thing that happened was her arm being kicked away mid-movement as she fell in a heap. Hikage leaps to finish it but Katsuragi's eye glints and her grin widens.
"There! Ora!" She yells, releasing both legs into Hikage's stomach, sending her flying into a wall as Katsuragi kicks herself up and cheers. "Alright! That's how it's done!"
A second later, the greenette peels herself off of the wall, reaching a hand to her neck and popping it. "Yeah, that was uncomfortable. A bit weak though, didn't hurt much."
"Huh?"
"Impossible." Ikaruga mutters under her breath while Yagyu just scoffed while Hibari's hand tightened into fists.
"My turn." She says and then she leaned forward, her back leg leaving the floor as she moved, a blur of curves and serpentine movement that had Katsuragi confused as she tried to keep her eye son him but she kept incorrectly guessing the girl's next move.
Before she could move or react, she was forced to block a flurry of slashes appearing on her clothes, the damage she's taking being reflected on the shirt she wears in her Shinobi Transformation. Fighting throught the veritable flurry of attacks, she releases a front kick as it collides but not with her body but with Hikage's arm as Katsuragi uses it to push off and get some space.
"This is bad." Katsuragi mutters despite the howling within her to win.
She glances back, watching as Asuka cut through the tan girl's clothes with ease as she huffs. "What am I doing? I look pathetic."
Asuka leaps back, placing a hand on the floor and harnessing her ki as she falls into the earth once more, hiding from the tan girl's sight as she whirls around waiting.
Finally, behind her, the earth split as Homura grinned. "Here!" She slashed with both hands in an 'x' shape as the dust revealed no one there. "Damn!" She cursed but was too slow.
"Shinobi Arts: Dual Slash!" Asuka called, appearing behind her and cutting through Homura's defenses as the tan girl yelped in pain while Asuka hopped to her feet and crouched, breathing heavily.
Homura has been taking all her hits and has been reciprocating with her own, devastating hits that tended to leave Asuka winded and exhausted. She could evade them, but at the moment, she was too slow to take advantage of the openings showed to her.
Well, she could do something, and she'd probably have to since otherwise, she wouldn't be able to beat her. Shaking her head, Asuka let her ki flow through her, reacting to her feelings of desperation, she let it burst, her clothes flying off her in tatters and leaving her in her red, green and white striped underwear as she entered Frantic Mode.
In a flash, Homura was over her, bearing down on her as she brought down both arms in a slash as Asuka moved better than she could before, ramming th ebase of her hilt into the girl before she could complete the movement as she was interrupted before Asuka leapt forward, slashing in the air as she dashed from side-to side to overwhelm her before kicking Homura into the floor but she simply rolled away, her clothes a mess but still not broken.
She kicked off the air, colliding with Homura is sparks flew off their respective weapons and the two glared at each other fiercely as finally, they pushed off of each other, Homura's swords all bearing down on her as Asuka found herself capable of keeping up and retaliating in between the gaps, dashing in and out of danger and leaving her fate at a coin's toss, as Shinobi are ought to do.
In a dance with their lives on the line, they danced like it was the last day of their lives, doing anything to could to get the upper hand as Asuka kicked Homura away and the tan girl looked…
Bored.
Panting in exhaustion, Asuka mutters under her breath, "Did I win?"
Tilting her head in confusion, Homura asks, "Finished already?"
Gulping, Asuka notes, "No way, I didn't even hurt you?"
"I wanted to see if you were worth a damn. So I purposely let you get a few hits in." Homura reveals, as she rolls a shoulder, her previously tattered clothes returning as she's seen Kiriya do whenever he was holding back. "And it was nothing. Nothing!" She exclaimed before elaborating, "Like a feather on my cheek! You really thought that would hurt?1"
Asuka stepped back in shock, preparing herself to fight again only for Homura to continue, "No worries. I'm just here to say hi today. You might want to get your last rites in before we see each other again though."
"Wait, where's Caleb, what did you do to him?" Asuka demands but by the time she tries to reach Homura, she's already gone. "Damn." As she's about to chase, she hears her upperclassmen call for her.
"Asuka! Wait!" Ikaruga yells as she carries Katsuragi over her shoulder. "Your Shinobi Transformation is-!"
Before she could hear Ikaruga finish, a puff of smoke exploded from her, replacing her Transformation with her normal clothes as the pain and exhaustion hits her all at once and her consciousness left her in record time.
The last thing she saw before she could fall was Yagyu catching her before her body hit the floor, noticing how Hibari isn't there.
It all went dark a second later.
Hibari only one thought coursing through her as she sped through the school, hiding when she saw someone as she tried to remember Caleb's classe, her mind stuck on one detail.
They never managed to find Caleb.
Her mind goes back to the event, Katsuragi's Shinobi Transformation tattered until the only thing left on her was a pair of underwear she had when she was using Frantic Mode.
"Oh him? That was a lie. We don't know where he is." Was all she said before defeating Katsuragi.
She moved quickly trying to find the young man as she dashed through te classes, all of Kiriya's lessons on 'stealth' going out the window in her fear and worry. Once she managed to go through the entire school, she hopped onto the roof of a nearby building before hopping onto another.
She nearly stumbled as a black and cold emotion seems to squeeze her heart, attempting to steal as much energy as it could before leaving her lifeless. It wasn't one she really liked if she was honest, it left her breathless far easier than usual.
Finally, she spotted the apartment, landing on the entrance, she lacked care for the door as she simply rammed her shoulder onto the door, breaking it off its hinges as she stumbled in and fell down on top of it but she quickly looked up, "Caleb-chan! Are you here? Where are you!?"
He has to be here, Hikage said they didn't manage to find him, so clearly, if he isn't at school, he has to be home.
"Wait, what the-," a voice rang out, a very familiar one as Hibari turns, tears appearing at the edge of her eyes as she sees the familiar form of Caleb stop at the entrance. "Hibari? What-!"
Before he could finish, Hibari was already leaping at him, arms extended as he thre up into the air something he had in his hands and let Hibari tackle him as the back of his head hits the steel of the fence of the second floor. "Caleb-chan~! You're okay!" She says, holding him tighter, as if expecting him to disappear as she nuzzles him as he manages to catch the boxes of pizza that would be his dinner, breakfast, and dinner once more with a bit of soot on his face.
"Hey, what happened?" He asked, worried as he set the pizzas aside. "I slept late and woke up late so I decided to see an artisan to see if he can teach me something."
"Idiot!" She yelled to Caleb's surprise, "I was so worried, why didn't you pick up your phone?"
"I turned it off and haven't turned it on since last night." He answers, watching as Hibari's teary eyes glare at him. Finally, she seemed to fall in relief as she hugged him, her breast pushing up against his chest as the warmth in them was obvious even through the layers of clothing in between the soft pillowy chest. He was having a lot of trouble controlling his bodily reactions and Hibari is straddling him. If he lets his body take over for even a second…
"Anyway, what happened?" He asks as he sits up rubbing Hibari's head.
Before she could answer, the sound of wind and a set of feet tap against the floor as the math teacher and Shinobi tutor appears. "It seems we know who attacked you and Asuka last night." The smooth baritone of Kiriya appears beside them, a flicker of something going through his eyes before it disappeared just as quickly. Except for Caleb who noticed.
"What the hell happened while I was away?" He mutters under his breath as he reaches a hand up for Kiriya, who wordlessly helped him up, Hibari's legs hooking behind him as his hand instinctively reach down for her thighs in a very...compromising position that the white-haired hag would kill him for being in. Helplessly, he tries to ignore the feeling of fleshy and warm thigh in his hand and the temptation to go a little higher. He glances at Kiriya, whoalso had a complicated look on his face as he gently leaned closer to Hibari.
"Hibari, you're bothering Caleb, please let go of him." He starts but Hibari shakes her head.
"Don't wanna." She says, tightening her grip on him as Kiriya gives Caleb a hopeless look.
With that, Caleb regretfully looks at his pizza. "Do you think we're going to need more?"
I look over Asuka's body, my hands sticky from the salve Kiriya gave me as I rubbed it over cuts and bruises before bandaging them, tightening them so they wouldn't fall of easily, and preferably, not at all.
Their skin was soft, I couldn't help but note that as I tried to keep my thoughts wholesome from the onset hormones that assaulted my brain. Though the state the girls were in quickly crushed any hormonal thoughts as a twitch from Asuka quickly had him ease up the pressure he's using to apply the salve. Once he's done, he gives her a once-over under the watchful eyes of Hibari, Yagyu, and Ikaruga.
No broken bones, just bruises, minor lacerations and a lot of pain. That Shinobi Transformation is pretty useful but it seems like the cost is a lot more than he thought.
Kiriya was with Katsuragi, giving her the same treatment I am to Asuka but without supervision as he is a teacher and I'm just a friend. All I have to do is apply this salve in obvious spots and Kiriya will finish up with the more...private locations. While I could probably heal her or just nurse her back to health, I was told to simply do what was obvious and to leave the rest to Kiriya.
Sighing, I stand up, walking off to the wooden bucket in the room and washing off the residue salve from my hands, flicking them out to remove the waters before using a hand towel to dry them off.
The room itself had a thick and suffocating aura, after all, Katsuragi, their upperclassman and Asuka lost embarrassingly to a rival group. Everyone was tense and the fact that I arrived without injury only worsened it as all of them seemed relieved. Well, Yagyu was only slightly relieved before it turned into animosity when she saw me carrying Hibari before I placed her down beside her, where she latched onto her, glaring at me all the way.
The pizzas I bought were in the middle, untouched and probably cold from no one grabbing them, which sucked a lot in my case since I bought those with my money, but I could understand why, they're students believing to be the cream of the crop, the Elite of their school, and were promptly beaten with embarrassing ease by a rival school who wasn't even trying that hard if what Kiriya said was right.
I grab a slice, rip one of the packets of parmesan open and sprinkle it onto the pizza.
All that's left is a waiting game no one is particularly thrilled to be a part of. As I bit onto my pizza, I grab Reshar's journal and begin flipping through it for any reference to this 'Super Secret Ninja Art Scroll', even if the name is a bit juvenile. Maybe it'll open up a new path to get the Umbral Awn.
By the time I finish that pizza slice, Kiriya was done with Katsuragi as she looked at me, his expression grateful. "Thanks, Caleb-kun. Your help is greatly appreciated."
"Don't worry, I'm just grateful I skipped school today." I muttered under my breath but Kiriya must have heard me because his eyes narrowed at that. "We'll have to speak about that later."
That's bullshit! I have bags under my eyes and everything!
But before I could voice out my complaints, he was gone and left me there as I sigh.
No one really wanted to talk as they had their own thoughts about this entire situation but all that was left was to deal with it.
An hour later and a pizza devoured later with the help of Hibari, Yagyu, and Ikaruga, a yelp can be heard as a familiar voice yells out, "Ow~!"
"Katsuragi!" Ikaruga yells as she runs towards the entrance, relief clear in her voice along with Hibari and Yagyu who follow after her towards the infirmary.
While I could listen in, the conversation taking place might not be for me, not to mention it would only be a waste of ki at the moment.
"Caleb, please come in." Kiriya requests from the infirmary, confusing me as I stand up, grabbing a pizza box since the two might be hungry as I follow after him.
As I enter the room, a familiar blonde and brunette jump up, "Cale-argh!" They yelled out in practical unison, both of them nearly falling as I reach towards Asuka to help her find her balance and Ikaruga does the same with Katsuragi.
"Hey, you're injured worse than Asuka is, get back in bed." Ikaruga says, leading her to her bed.
"So they were right, you weren't caught." Katsuragi says while I place Asuka back in her cot, her body relaxing in relief similar to Hibari as I ask.
"What the hell happened?" I ask and all of them look at each other.
"They fought a pair of Hebijo students and lost." Kiriya says, catching the attention of the students. Though no one probably noticed, I could see it as his entire bearing seems to have changed seemingly instantly as he was about to say something out of character for himself. "And if it bothers them, I suggest they leave this instant."
The atmosphere changes immediately as everyone turns to him in confusion and I gape.
Well damn, I might actually listen to something worth hearing now.
Hebijo, huh. An 'Evil' Shinobi Academy where the students partake with corrupt politicians and private businesses.
Looking up at the darkening sky, my mind isn't really anywhere but it was wrought with understanding. The smell in the morning was one of the Shinobis for some reason, beside me, Ikaruga was thinking hard and long, being the one who was decided would escort me since I am now a target for Hebijo. After I was told what happened, Kiriya gave the girls of Hanzo Academy a dress-down, practically scolding them and his body language was laced with pain and resolve.
What else can a teacher feel pain for but the death of one of their students?
Regardless, there was a fire lit in all of the girls' eyes, and one of them in particular worried me. While feeling Katsuragi's eyes on me isn't anything strange, usually it was followed by perverse laughter, but this time, there was something else.
Regardless, the short of it is that I know have to have an escort every time I go home and Ikaruga will be the one in charge of that for the next few days, though that also means I have to wait for their training to be over before I leave, which is a bit of a nuisance, if I'm honest.
Ikaruga was deep in thought but she was still paying attention to her surroundings, but I didn't want ot interrupt her, not to menion how we don't even know each other well enough to get in each other's business so I let her do her thing.
"We're here." She notes, my apartment in the second floor now had its door fixed as I turn to give my farewells to Ikaruga but only found her bowing. "I'm sorry you had to be involved like this because of us."
My eyes land on her breast but quickly go up as I answer, "It's fine, really, I traveled the world so getting in a bit of trouble isn't too strange."
"But-." She starts, straightening up and worry lacing her tone but I shake my head.
"It'll be fine, just go and do whatcha need to and I'll do my best to stick around as long as I can." I try and calm her as I step back towards the direction of my apartment. She watches me go but she quickly grabs my attention.
"Also, Katsuragi might be planning something so I'd watch out for that." Ikaruga says as I turn to her in confusion.
"What's she planning?" I ask the air, Ikaruga gone before I can even ask as I sigh. "Shinobis and their disappearing bullshit."
With that, I close the door behind me and prepare myself for another night of lacking sleep.
Katsuragi is in class the next morning, thinking about what Kiriya told her, her mind returning to a single person who wasn't there to hear Kiriya talk about their training.
She needed more, no, she wanted more. Hikage called her weak, and as much of a blow to her pride it was, it was a blow to her very goal, to who she is.
But she doesn't know what class he is in, much less when he has a break, but she also doesn't want to wait for much longer.
As her impatience warred with her politeness, she finally came upon a conclusion.
He'd definitely be happy helping a cute upperclassmen right? So, before the bell could be rung, she left, "Sorry sir, I've gotta go work on a math project." She said, running away to find the single person that made someone like Hibari, who wasn't what could be described as 'Shinobi material' into someone that could hold her own beyond just flailing.
She dashed around the school, looking for her target until she found him. "Found you!" She yelled into the classroom of second years as she found a familiar strand of silver hair.
Like usual, I managed to sleep for very little, only getting the usual varying amount of three to six hours before being forced to wake up and go to school. I managed to evade Kiriya's lecture on attendance yesterday, I just hope I don't have to deal with it today, though something tells me I'll have to deal with an entirely different problem today.
"Found you!" A familiar voice yelled into my classroom as I spotted a familiar blonde walking towards him as she grabbed my hand. "Come with me lover boy~!" She yelled as she pulled me out of class, ignorant or unaware of the malicious stares heading towards me as she pulled me outside.
She pulled me into a clearing as she pinned me against the wall breathing heavily before looking into my eyes.
"Please, train me!" She asked as earnestly as she good with a bowed head.
"Huh?"
I knew today was going to be troublesome.
A/N: So, I'm back, a few things are referred here that aren't in the fanfic but do happen in canon, so they happen here while Caleb wasn't the focus. Regardless, I hope you guys enjoyed and Christmas is coming soon! Maybe there'll be something then, maybe not, for now, I hope you guys enjoy this fanfic of questionable quality. If I missed something or if the characterization is a bit wonky, tell me in the reviews, but I hope you enjoyed regardless.
Until next time, Solar out!
