~soft yuri warning ahead~
I put on my clothes from yesterday, which are thankfully dry, and tell Rin I'll see him at cram school. I walk back to my dorm, when a familiar shape launches into me. She buries her face into my shoulder, and wraps her arms around my waist, coincidentally hitting both of my injuries. I give out a quick yelp of pain, and she immediately lets go. A look of confusion and worry spreads over her face, "Mar? Are you okay? What happened last night? Why didn't you go back to your dorm? I was so worried! Are you hurt?" I shake my head,
"Don't worry Shura I'm fine. I went over to Rin's last night, and fell asleep on the couch, there's nothing to worry about."  I can tell that she doesn't believe a word of what I just said, but thankfully she decides not to push it. My best, and only answer, is that she knows I'd tell her some time, and can tell I'm  in pain and don't want to talk about it.

~Last warning ~

She walks  me back to my dorm in silence, and sits down on my bed after shutting the door."we're you waiting for me all night?"
"Yeah"
I turn away from her and sit on the bed. Suddenly, she grabs my chin, and turns my head toward her, locking our lips together. I slowly sink into it, and lazily link my arms around her neck, hers clasp around my upper chest, holding me to her like her life depends on it. Her tongue slinks into my mouth intertwining with mine. I feel a moan escape from my throat as she deepens the kiss. We fall backwards onto the bed, Sura on top of me.  Her hand wanders under my shirt, and I realize, my tail is wrapped around my torso. I break the kiss, and her hand stops working its way up.

~Yuri stuff over :c~

She pulls herself up, as I lay there in total shock. She gives me a light kiss on the nose, "I love you Mar." She smiles. I look at her, and I can tell she's telling the truth. She isn't just curious about me anymore, she truly loves me. My face goes scarlet,  and Shura laughs, "If I go too far, don't be afraid to stop me, like you did today. Get ready for cram school, I'll be waiting outside your door."

She slides off the bed, and walks over to the door, but when she puts her hand on the doorknob, I stop her. "Shura wait! I... I love you!" She turns around surprised, and even I'm shocked at my little announcement. She smirks, "I'm glad, I love you too Mar, and don't you forget that."

She steps out, and I hide my face in my hands, 'I can't believe I just said that! I mean, I'm straight right?! Wait there are people who like both right? Maybe I'm bi, because I totally love guys... Maybe. This is so confusing! I'm over thinking this, just because I fell in love with Shura, doesn't mean that I'm necessarily gay... Right? What am I thinking?! Of course it, does girl+love+another girl definitely equals gay, no matter how you look at it. Why did I have to fall in love? It's so confusing...'

I put my hands up to my throbbing head, and rub little circles on my forehead. I strip off my jacket and shirt, and trace my finger over the mostly healed bullet wounds. The pain has mostly stopped by now, and I thank my fast regeneration. I put on new clothes, and step outside.

Shura smiles and grabs my hand, "come on, four eyes will be mad if we don't go now." I nod, and she picks me up bridal style. As I try to protest, she quickly silences me with a small kiss. Knowing it would be of no use to try and escape, I cross my arms grumpily, receiving a small laugh in return.

We finally get to the door leading to my class, so I attempt to jump out of Shura's arms, but she just tightens her grip and smiles. "Shura don't tell me you're planning to-"  but before I can even finish my sentence, she opens the door and struts into class. The class holds different levels of confusion, and I try again to worm my way out of her grip with no luck. She turns toward Yukio, "we're late" she states before standing next to him, her arms showing no signs of letting me go anytime soon. He rolls his eyes at her, and just continues talking. The rest of the class is trying to resist looking at me, so as to not make me anymore uncomfortable then I already am. I lock eyes with Rin, pleading his to help me, but he just shrugs and shakes his head. Who the hell have I fallen for?!

Yukio announces that we will be going on an exorcism this weekend in a rural city, where they've been having some problems. We'll be spending the night in the old woman's home who asked us to come, so we'll need a change of clothes.

Finally, Yukio dismisses us to go off to train, so Rin follows Shura and I down to the training room. She finally sets me down, and gains a more serious face. "Alright, Rin and Mar, grab your wooden weapons, and compete in the cage thing, highest score wins. You will start on easy difficulty." I nod and grab a wooden knife from the rack, while Rin takes a katana.

We stand side by side, and the machine sputters to life "1vs1 beginner mode: begin!"
