"We need to keep you safe," Kyouko told him with an apologetic shrug. "What happens if you get hurt in a fight?"
"I've been hurt plenty of times. I'm a martial artist."
"That's true, but..."
"We can't let you get hurt or captured," Rei told him as she walked up to the group.
"What's the big deal, I mean...."
"Without you, we lose the center of our group, and the only way that we have to keep our enemy from imprinting girls when they wake up."
"You mean...."
The shrine priestess smiled wryly. "If we lose you, he can start imprinting all the girls that he wants. To save them from becoming nothing but playthings for him, we have to have someone behind us."
"Which means that you're not going to join the attack forces, understand Master?" Kaname informed him.
"Gotcha, 'xcept...."
"What?"
"I never thought that comin' here'd make me responsible for so much. I mean, I was just looking for some girls from my world. Now, I'm savin' a lot more from a fate worse than... a lot of things."

"What are you doing?" Kaname asked with a frown.
He waved a hand negligently at them. "You guys have got all this stuff under control. I'm gonna see about checkin' this place out."
"But if you try to join the combat teams...."
"Who said anythin' 'bout 'combat'? I'm gonna see what I can find."
"Like?"
"Well, a lot of the girls had ta bring stuff with 'em, even if they didn't mean to. Plus, there are girls who might need checkin' up on. And maybe I can find the girls from my world somewhere 'round here. Heck, if nothin' else, it'll do me good ta get some exercise, and I can see what sorta places that the girls have been taken from."
