Shinobu raised her head from the muck to stare at...
A rather large, imposing figure looming over her.
She moaned in despair, and turned around to lay on my back.
"Oh... You can do whatever you want with me, just please... be gentle!"
"Do whatever I want? Be gentle?" A high and feminine voice asked her.
Shinobu squinted in the afternoon sun. The large and imposing figure, on a second look, seemed to be mostly made of metal. And there's probably only one person she knows of who dresses in such a substance.
"Asuka-chan?"
Mendou's fiancée and one of the children of the filthy rich Mizunokoji family. She knew it because Mendou knew their son, Tobimaro. Poor Asuka. She was raised by her mother in the traditional family manner: isolated from the world, shut in a metaphorical cage, only having women anywhere near her, until she would be married at the age of 16.
That was the traditional way of life for a lady of the Mizunokoji clan. But tradition never really did mean anything to Ataru Moroboshi. His face was the face of the first man that Asuka had ever seen in her life. Naturally, the poor thing's now terrified of every man she meets. The only exceptions are Mendou and her brother Tobimaro.
Poor Asuka. Strange as anybody in Tomobiki, but all the more tragic for it.
Without warning, she found herself gathered in the armoured girl's arms and held against her chest. "Are you alright? It's dangerous to go swimming in the river! Especially with all these men about! So scary!"
Shinobu didn't ask or protest. She just wrapped her arms around the area where Asuka's helmet met her breastplate and hugged her tightly. "Thank you, Asuka-chan." She wasn't sure, but she could just make out the girl's cheeks reddening beneath the slots in her helmet's visor. "Take me to Tomobiki High School, would you?"
"But there might be men there!" Asuka panicked.
"It's alright..." Shinobu said soothingly. "I'll find a spot where there's no men. I promise."
Asuka stood there silent for a while, and then nodded. "I'll take you!" And with that, she bounded off, Shinobu in her arms, towards the high school where everything was going off...
And now...
