October 27th 2017

The sky above was clear and the sun had risen to make the world bright once again, however, there was no shinier light that morning than the one on the red bow girl's eyes.

"You didn't forget anything?", Sayori asked with a smile as both girls closed the door of her house behind them. "Nope, I don't think so... But if I did I can just come back later to get it, right?", Ryona replied smiling back.

"Ehehe right... Then, let's go!", Sayori was about to bounce her way to school but her eyes glanced at the tough girl's hand for a second, making her stop. "I-Is it okay if we hold hands?", Sayori asked blushing lightly and joining the tip of her index fingers.

Ryona didn't say anything, instead she calmly took Sayori's hand and intertwined fingers with her, locking their hands well and smiling at her with a light blush as well. Sayori's eyes sparkled once again, her face got a little pinker and her chest kept ticking non stop.

Ever since last night were her feelings and Ryona's turned to be the same for each other, Sayori thought she was living a very nice dream that unfortunately had to end at some point but later that same night, as both went to sleep and her fears came back to haunt her, Ryona didn't take long to reassure her and show her it was all real.

Waking up to find her still holding her hand and sleeping on her knees resting her head on the edge of her bed like a devoted husband staying by her ill lover's side in a hospital bed all night, was something that helped her start that day with enough motivation to push herself off the bed and go through a new and promising day.

"Also... Is it okay if I hold your hand sometimes at school?", all of this gave Sayori the courage and confidence to speak her desires. Ryona nodded with a smile. "And is it okay if I hug you sometimes... If I kiss you sometimes...", Sayori asked with hopeful blue eyes.

"Anytime you want", Ryona replied with the most honest and loving smile Sayori ever saw. "....Yay! Even if it was hard for her at times, at least at that moment, Sayori's heart jumped with joy and so did her body.

"I can't wait to see Natsuki's face when we tell her we're dating now", Sayori giggled as both started walking. "I'm afraid she could use it against us as payback for taking pictures of her and Yuri...", Ryona replied nervous.

"I don't mind if she does that though! I want pics with you! Ehehe!", Sayori bounced and got closer to her girlfriend, resting her head on her shoulder and clinging to her arm.
Needless to say Ryona was the happiest person in the world that morning.

=====================

"Hmmm we got here a bit early... So this is what happens every morning...", Sayori mumbled as she and her girlfriend discreetly peeked at their classroom were next to their pink friend was also their purple friend, sitting on Sayori's chair, which she had moved closer to the pink girl's chair to wrap her arms around her and rest her head on hers.

"I'm surprised Natsuki's doesn't look bothered... In fact, she looks kinda happy?", Ryona asked as she noticed Natsuki's looking at the side with a deep blush on her face but at the same time, a warm smile on it as well. "Probably because not many people has arrived yet", Sayori replied cleverly.

"What should we do then?", Ryona asked. "I say... We challenge them to a lovey dovey contest!!", Sayori exclaimed in whispers. "A-A wha-!", Ryona tried to ask but Sayori wasted no time, dragging her into the classroom and announcing her arrival with a bang.

"Goooooooood morning lovebirds!", Sayori exclaimed, making the pink and purple girls snap out of their lovey dovey state, both turning red at once as they let go of each other. "Why the hell are you here so early Sayori?! ...huh?", Natsuki asked feisty and embarrassed but she didn't take long to notice Sayori's hand still holding Ryona's.

"Oh, you don't have to stop the love! Keep cuddling because Ry and I are here to challenge you to a lovey dovey contest!", Sayori pointed at them defiant. "What-? Wait, forget that shit. Why are you two holding... Ah! Don't tell me!!", Natsuki was quick to make her own conclusions, standing up from her seat with a big smile that flashed her little fang.

"Yes! Let me introduce her to you again. Ahem! Natsuki, Yuri, my dear literature pals, this is Ryona Aono, my super duper cool girlfriend!", Sayori, still refusing to let go of Ryona's hand, raised her hand like a referee declaring her victorious, smiling big while Ryona now turned into a tomato closed her eyes to avoid the embarrassing little moment somehow.

"About freaking time for fudge sake!!", Natsuki exclaimed, slamming her hands onto the desk to then furiously tug on Yuri's blazer and say, "see?! I told you they'd end together!".

"Hehe... Congratulations, Sayori, Ryona, we're very happy for you", Yuri said with a sweet yet slightly awkward smile as her girlfriend kept furiously tugging on her sleeve. "Why do you guys always say it like that? I thought it'd be more of a surprise hehe...", Sayori replied now a bit embarrassed herself.

"Duh! Because you two have been so painfully obvious about it! Specially you", Natsuki pointed at Ryona who glared at her even redder and frowny. "I-Is that so?", Sayori asked curious.

"Yeah, didn't you ever notice how she looks at you? Like, 90% of the time in class she's stealing glances at you, I even thought she'd fail at least a couple of subjects because of that", Natsuki grinned. Ryona kept getting redder, desperately looking away to hide it.

"Ehehehe! Really?", Sayori replied all smiles as she wrapped her arms around Ryona's arm. "Yeah! I mean you did it yourself too but it was less obvious", Natsuki added, making Sayori blush deeply, begining to sweat.

"A-Anyways! So about that lovey dovey contest! You won't beat us!", Sayori kind of changed the topic before any other embarrassing fact could be spit, jumping on Ryona's arms who now carried her bridal style, wrapping her arms around her neck and nuzzling their faces together.

"Oh-my-gosh!! Is that what I think it is?!", a familiar voice exclaimed, making Ryona turn around. "You can bet your tanned ass it is!", Natsuki grinned.

"Kyaaah! Finally!!", running all the way having no shame as her prominent chest bounced came the blond gyaru, aiming for the new couple. Ryona quickly put Sayori down to brace themselves as Haru immediately wrapped her arms around both and trapped them in a big hug.

"Yahoo! Another ship has reached the shore!", Haru giggled happy as she squeezed both girls. "Okay everyone! Ah! Haru beat me to it!", while that happened, the white ribbon girl appeared at the door, quickly noticing the happy mood and guessing why her blond friend was squeezing the life out of Ryona and Sayori.

Monika didn't waste any more time and ran inside to join the hug as she said, "I'm so happy for you girls!". Natsuki sighed with a smile, looking at her girlfriend who immediately understood and nodded, making the pink girl just say, "ah! Screw it!", to finally join the hug.

Ryona certainly wasn't used to this much love and hugs were something she'd only get from Sayori these days, however she thought this wasn't bad at all, enjoying the warm brought by her friends joy at her expense and most importantly, she was hoping Sayori too could enjoy this.
As many bodies as they were around her, she also managed to get a quick look at the door were a white haired girl was standing. She simply smiled at her and gave her a thumbs up from there, Ryona did the same.

As for the red bow girl, it certainly surprised her to get this reaction to her new relationship with Ryona and she couldn't help but think her friends were genuinely happy for her somehow, which was the most important thing to her and yet her heart also couldn't help but to be a bit selfish, feeling a bit happy herself to see them happy for her.

===================

The day had been enjoyable for a change, Ryona certainly couldn't get to pay attention to her teachers at all as Sayori and her constantly glanced at each other with a smile, Sayori sometimes would do things like making a heart with her hands or just curl her fingers at her, whichever the case, it never failed to squeeze Ryona's weak heart for her.

Eventually, lunch time came and the usual group gathered together, joining their desk to make their large table as usual, only this time, Monika and her loyal student council president came too as Monika wanted to know the details of the day before.

"No, look! We're more lovey dovey!", Sayori exclaimed as she hugged Ryona  and kissed her cheek repeatedly, making the tough girl almost pass out of happiness. "Huh?! Is that a challenge, punk?!", Natsuki replied feisty but unable to contain a smile, while Yuri was wiping some sauce from her cheek with a handkerchief.

"Yuri! Show her!", Natsuki commanded. "E-Eh? Me??", Yuri was excited at first to see what Natsuki would do for her but she was now caught off guard as the pink girl demanded her to do the job.

"No, Santa... Yes, you, you big titty goth dummy!", Natsuki exclaimed impatient. The pink girl hated losing. "O-Okay!", Yuri replied nervous as their other friends were still there but happy nonetheless as she got to enjoy her pink girlfriend to her heart's content.

Yuri closed her eyes a bit to imagine there was nobody but them two around, gently touching her girlfriend's cheek, bringing her closer to her lips, which she softly pressed on the corner of her lips.

"OKAY THAT'S ENOUGH!", Natsuki exclaimed red as blood, quickly putting some distance between them as she couldn't bear so many eyes and smirks on her. Yuri pouted cutely while fidgeting with her hair, wanting to do more now.

"B-But Sayori is still...", Yuri tried to say. "Sayori has no shame!!", Natsuki exclaimed while the red bow girl kept eating Ryona's cheeks with kisses. The tough girl had reached heaven by that point.

"That's actually true", Monika giggled. "Hey!", Sayori exclaimed outraged. "Come on, Sayori, stop dodging the topic and tell us how it went yesterday!", Monika said curious as hell.

"I was gonna tell you, Monika, but saying it in front of almost everyone is a bit... Ehehe...", Sayori blushed and joined the tip of her index fingers. "Come on, it's not like we don't know how much of a simp Ryona can be for ya'", Natsuki added while eating her apple. Ryona again glared at her frowny and blushing.

"Okie dokie then... So after I left yesterday Ry came to my house and reassured me, we talked about... Things and then she... Ehehehe...", Sayori giggled dreamy as she remembered that song. "She what??", Monika asked impatient.

"She kissed you??", Natsuki asked. "She gave you flowers?", Yuri asked. "She pushed you onto the bed and- ouch!", Haru was saying but Monika smacked her head with Yuri's book always near the purple girl somehow.

"It was something so much more awesome! Ry confessed her feelings to me but it wasn't just an average confession I tell you! You see, to do it... And to make me understand... She sang me a song~♥", Sayori almost melted to then wrap her arms around her girlfriend tight while the group gasped in unison. "She really did that?!", Monika stood up from the impression.

"Holy crap, Ryona! You're starting to surpass Monika in terms of simping!", Natsuki exclaimed impressed. "That's something really beautiful", Yuri said happy for them.

"How romantic!", Ryou simply said with a big smile. "Wonderful!", Gensai simply exclaimed and continued devouring his steak.

"Kyaaahaha! That's so sweet and beautiful! I'm hella jelly now but I'm so happy for you as well!", Haru squirmed. Mayu didn't say anything, her mind was now worried on a crucial fact and that was how the hell would she top that when the time came between her and the literature club president.

"And what song did she sing to you??", Monika asked awfully excited. "It's an original song written by her and for me only!", Sayori exclaimed happy.

"Holy crap! She really did that?!", Natsuki asked quite surprised. She didn't expect the song to be originally Ryona's after seeing countless times how difficult it was for her to write poems in the club. "Don't say it like that, love, you make it sound a bit mean...", Yuri commented.

"Right, my bad. Still, it's pretty impressive you wrote a song for Sayori, guess love does make you do wonders sometimes", Natsuki said and took a sip to her juice. "It really does...", Yuri mumbled to herself.

"Now that I remember, that time we went to the karaoke Ry-chan did the best singing by far...", Haru added. "You should sing it som-", Haru tried to say.

"No", Ryona was quick to refuse. "It's for my ears only~", Sayori said melodically as she kept hugging her girlfriend as if she was a big teddy bear.

"So... did you kiss her already, Ryona?", Natsuki asked with a smirk, making the dark blue haired girl almost choke on her sandwich. "She did! It was so-", Ryona quickly put her hand on Sayori's mouth while her face had turned red again.

"And did you have s-", Natsuki, the excited pink girl, was about to ask an even greater question but this time it was Yuri who silenced her, putting a hand on her mouth. "And you say Sayori has no shame", Monika said to the pink girl, denying with her head.

"Because she doesn't!", Natsuki forced Yuri's hand off her mouth and exclaimed feisty. "Then what about you? Did you and Yuri-", Monika smirked big but the pink one wouldn't let her finish.

"B-BY THE WAY, D-DID YOU WATCH THE NEWS YESTERDAY??! They said Unrestrained is gay!", Natsuki the tomato raised her voice, hoping to change the topic. "O-Oh yes! I-I did see that!", Yuri replied just as red, hoping the same.

"Are you for real??", Haru stood up awfully excited, her eyes sparkling and a big smile. "Y-Yeah, well, there's this theory they presented...", Natsuki continued and with that, somehow she managed to dodge the big question, however, that didn't stop both pink and purple girls to question themselves about it, wondering when would they get to that part of their relationship.

Both hoped it could be as soon as possible.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••

"This...", the school cap boy said as he read the message on his phone. "Hey, Goz! Gotta go cut the Saiyan's tail, damn burrito is making its presence felt on my stomach!", He exclaimed and quickly ran out of the dojo, while the big shaved head boy and the others simply laughed.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••

"Really? Here??", the beanie hat girl mumbled surprised but not quiet enough for her girlfriend not to hear. "Everything okay, darling?", Kanae asked taking her free hand since the other held that phone.

"Seems we got a trouble maker in the club, one quite bole if they dared to attack them in their territory. You continue with their training, I'll go check", Jasmine said, looking for her shoes. "No. I'll go this time, let me help at least once", Noroe said pouty but determined as she held Jasmine's hand tight to stop her from leaving.

"But...", Jasmine tried to say. "But nothing! As your club president, I give you the task of take care of their training, I'll go in the meantime", Noroe said serious.

"Okay, be careful", Jasmine sighed with a smile to then caress her girlfriend's cheek with her the back of her fingers. "Shoo! Now get them to work!", Noroe slapped her hand gently to then put on her shoes and head out of their improvised dojo.

"Alrighty guys, now give me 50 sit ups but legs fully extended and touching the tip of your toes everytime", Jasmine commanded and the now 7 members they had immediately obeyed. "...Gen, Kanae is coming in my place, just keep an eye on her please",while her new students got to work, the beanie hat girl had pulled out her phone one more time to make one more call.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

"Mayuuuuu! Thanks for coming to see me again today~", Monika quickly rushed to the door of their clubroom as soon as she spotted that white like snow hair, something she always did everytime it happened. "I didn't come to see you...", Mayu sighed but blushed lightly as she looked away.

"You don't need to play tsundere, Mayo! We all know al- GaH!", Emerson tried to say but a little paper bullet struck her eye. "Y-You okay?!!", Kanefusa asked worried as Emerson's eye fluttered funny again and got a bit red.

"I'll live but I may have to start wearing a patch", Emerson grinned awkwardly. "I'm just here doing my job", Mayu sighed while the other literature club members chuckled at both, Emerson's suffering and Mayu's tsundere side.

However, they soon understood she was telling the truth at least this one time as she headed to the back of the room, noticing now the rolled cardboards she carried under her arm to then unroll one of them and post it on the wall there.

"What's that... OH! OOOOOOOOHHHHHH!! OH! OH! OH! GUYS LOOK!", Sayori bounced so hard everyone thought she'd go through the ceiling soon as the excitement was hard to contain. "What? AH! Is this real?!", Erika asked excited as well as she too got up to get a better look at that black cardboard full of orange and purple.

"Yeah, this year the school festival was a success economically speaking so now we have enough funds to do this", Mayu replied. Soon the rest of the club members gathered around the cardboard, all smiling excited and immediately questioning each other if they'd come.

The answer was practically unanimous as all said yes, now the second and just as crucial question began to resound.

"Hey, Yuri, what costume should we wear??", Natsuki asked quite excited. "W-We??", Yuri asked a bit confused but quickly getting excited.

"Yeah fool! We should do a theme costume for this Halloween party, like magical girls or parfait girls or-", Natsuki began rambling. "You just wanna do cosplay with your girlfriend", Ryuko interrupted her and chuckled.

"That's not-! And you just wanna see Omiko wearing a sexy nurse costume!", Natsuki was quick to fight back but her face had got red enough already. "Stop revealing my kinks!", Ryuko replied without thinking as she was caught off guard.

"Ha!", Natsuki grinned satisfied. "Shut!", Ryuko realized and quickly covered her mouth.

"I-I was thinking of wearing a nurse costume for this p-party...", Omiko mumbled red and looking away. "Eh?", Ryuko froze.

"Well, well, well, you're welcome Ryuko", Natsuki grinned. "I-I thought you'd wear something like a scientist costume haha...", Ryuko said scratching the back of her head.

"I'm a girl you know? I-I'd like to look nice...", Omiko said a bit offended. "Right, right! Sorry!", Ryuko exclaimed nervous.

"Well, the way I see it now, you may finally get out of the bottom zone, Omiko", Natsuki smirked. "E-Eh?! I-I wasn't-", Omiko turned tomato red and began waving her hands in denying motion, quite panicked.

"J-Just don't listen to her hehe... Come on, let's discuss what costumes we could wear", Ryuko covered Omiko's ears and took her away from Natsuki. "Ah! It's been a while since I bothered those two~", Natsuki sighed proud of herself.

"Mm? What's on your mind, babe?", Natsuki asked her girlfriend who had been staring at the cardboard that announced the upcoming Halloween party at their school. "Eh? Ah, it's nothing, love... Just thinking about options for our costumes", Yuri replied.

"I bet you're thinking of those creepy monsters...", Natsuki said unimpressed. "Hehe...", Yuri cutely replied.

"Hah... Come on, let's discuss that somewhere else", Natsuki grabbed Yuri's hand, looking to drag her away from their friends, who while they were busy discussing the same topic with each other, still may overhear her talk about cosplay.

But that didn't get to happen as their lively talk came to an end when a loud bang echoed from behind, making all flinch but immediately turn around to meet her at last.

"Kukuku... How easy it was to scare you... And these are the so called chosen ones?", said a girl who still had her hand on the black board, making it clear who had caused the bang like sound. "Who are you?", Monika asked serious, stepping up first, like a mother protecting her children.

"Do you really want to know? Think twice because you may not like what she has brought to you, punny mortals", the girl giggled deviously as she lifted her face which had been a mystery until then as she had her head low for some reason.

They finally saw her better. Short slightly curly blue hair a bit above her shoulders with a little ponytail popping out on the back, sharp purple eyes covered by a pair of glasses and what stood out more, some kind of face paint under her eyes and on her nose of dots and lines and on top of that, her uniform, while it unmistakably made her part of their school, it was not like any other as her skirt had the hem frayed, her left leg wore black bandages around it and a strange knee pad and the other the normal sock, her blazer was tied around her neck like a cape, she didn't wear the vest, just the shirt and finally, her hands wore a couple of studded gloves.

"What...?", Monika mumbled confused but still on alert. Mayu, Ryona and Natsuki stepped up next to her afterwards, just as serious. "Guys...", Monika said and gulped a bit nervous, yet she didn't back down.

"What should we do, Em?", Kanefusa asked serious and in whispers. "I already texted those dudes but be ready to move just in case", Emerson whispered serious as well.

"Ho? Seems we got the first in line to fall... And pray!", the enigmatic girl of blue hair exclaimed as she pointed at them coolly. "Huh?", one second later, she cocked an eyebrow, confused as one of them who was in the first line of defense had vanished.

"Whe- GAH!!", the blue haired girl began to question herself and reality only to then be used to create another bang as her body hit the blackboard. "We've been having a good time without your shit, so fuck off", said the furious pink haired girl who despite being shorter than her, had her forearm pressed on her collarbone to pin her against the blackboard while the other hand roughly gripped her wrist she had used to point at them.

"Kyah! W-Wa- ! Fufufu... I commend your speed but make no mistake a-about it! She has come to- guh!", the blue haired seemed oddly nervous for a brief moment only to then speak again with that arrogant tone and once again be silenced by force as Natsuki slammed her body against the blackboard again.

"Natsuki, please be careful not to damage the school furniture, let me handle this instead", Mayu now next to them before the blue haired girl could realize, said and grabbed the glasses girl's pinky finger between her index and thumb, twisting it in one quick move to make her drop to her knee as Natsuki let go of her and shook the dust off her sleeve.

"Need some help to scort her to the detention room? I'm familiar with it so I know the way", Ryona now behind the blue haired girl said calmly as she put her hand on the girl's trapezoid muscle and gripped it hard making her grit her teeth with purple eyes full of fear before she could speak.

"W-Wh-", the blue haired girl was about to mumble something, now her head low and her body looking shaky but then, more people arrived to the party. "Osu! We're he- eh?", Gensai, wearing his usual pijama like work out outfit, appeared at the door sliding to put the brakes only to glance at the girl subdued on the teacher's podium.

"Everything okay, Togashi-san?", Kanae asked confused as she appeared behind him, wearing her karate gi as the school cap boy went quiet for a couple of seconds just staring at the enigmatic girl. "Gensai... Kanae...", Monika mumbled still on guard like the rest of the club members.

"Could it really be...??", Gensai mumbled to himself while the girl now quiet just dropped to her other knee with her head still low and even shakier. "Mayu! Ryona! Let go of her!", Gensai entered the room and quickly freed the girl from the White haired and dark blue haired girls grip.

"What's the meaning of this, Gen?", Natsuki asked serious. "That's what I wanna know myself...", Gensai mumbled his reply making Natsuki tilt her head and frown confused.

"Ku...kuku... Ohohoho!", without previous warning, the enigmatic girl raised up again and laughed with arrogance. "Congratulations, writers of destiny! You have proved your worth!", the blue haired girl pointed at them again, her face looking a bit red and still behind Gensai.

"Huh?", was the only thing most people there could reply. "Rejoice as she has acknowledge you at last! Fear not and prepare yourselves for certain victory as she has come to join your ranks and lead you through the ultimate war!", the blue haired girl exclaimed with great passion, covering half of her face with one hand while pointing at the sky with the other.

"The heck is she saying...?", Natsuki asked now a bit weirded out. "Hear her name and fall and pray! Adelheid Heidenreich has arrived!", and at last, the enigmatic girl pronounced her name.

"Adelwhat?", Emerson asked. "Hiddenwhat?", Sayori asked too.

"Adelheid Heidenreich!", the immutable blue haired girl exclaimed again, now extending her arm to the side as if she had shoved someone aside and made a finger gun with the other aiming at the floor.

"Is that... German or something?", Monika asked confused. "Thousands of names have come and gone for her but the last one you just heard was indeed given to her in the land of poets and thinkers!", Adelheid exclaimed with hands on hips quite proud.

"Her? So whose this german girl you keep talking about?", Natsuki asked. Adelheid pointed at herself, proud smile and eyes closed. "Ah... So you're one of those people who talk in third person... Wait a damn second! You don't look German!", Natsuki pointed out cleverly.

"She did say that was one of many she got...", Sayori said with a smile. "Where the hell did you come from?!", Natsuki jumped away as the red bow girl was now next to her.

"Adelheid acknowledges your superior intellect, red bow girl! You must be the one in charge here", Adelheid replied with crossed arms. "Kinda hehe...", Sayori scratched her cheek flattered.

"Strictly speaking, she's the second in command, I'm the one in charge, literature club president, Monika", the brunette finally walked towards her too and smiled the best she could although she still felt awkward. "Very well, it is your task to ensure misery to your enemies as you shall be the one who immortalizes Adelheid Heidenreich in the annuals of literary history!", Adelheid exclaimed.

"Eh...", Monika wasn't sure what to reply. "I think she wants to join your club. We'll be off now haha", Gensai simply said and walked out of the room. Kanae looked around confused only to then made a quick reverence and leave the room as well.

"You're joining the club then...?", Monika asked still unsure. "Fall and pray! Together we shall reduce evil to that!", Adelheid replied posing coolly again.

"O-Over here then...", Monika then walked to the teachers desk and pulled out a form for the blue haired girl to fill. Adelheid did it quite fast, handing it to Monika upside down for her not to read before she could speak again.

"Battlefield is craving her name, Adelheid will be back once three moons have passed, until then... Be well", Adelheid said covering half of her face with one hand, pointing at everyone only to then leave the room walking with grace.

...

"Let's see... Mizuki Akabane, first year... Huh? Didn't she say her name was Adel something?", Monika asked confused while reading the form. "Chuunibyou... The eight grader syndrome it seems...", Mao said, grabbing her chin while thinking.

"Eight grader syndrome...? Whoa... I didn't expect to meet someone like that sometime!", Natsuki said surprised. "Is it really eight grader syndrome though?", Mayu asked.

"She was too weird to be normal and too weak to be an enemy", Natsuki said. "Anyway, we'll find out eventually... Judging by what she said... She'll be back on Monday", Monika smiled awkwardly.

Nobody really knew how to feel about their apparent new clubmate.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Eventually, the final bell rang and the  club prepared to leave another week of literature behind.

As usual, the group walked through the hallways of the school, chatting about the last sensations and this time was no exception.

"So you guys decided what costume you'll wear for the party??", Erika asked excited to see cute girls in all kinds of Halloween costumes, something everyone knew well but just dealt with it at this point. "I'm gonna be a sexy devil!", Haru exclaimed.

"Why I'm not surprised...", Emerson muttered. "I'm probably gonna be Harley Quinn", Mao grinned. "I'm still evaluating my options really haha...", Ryuko said. "Nurse hehe...", Omiko said shy.

"Sexy nurse or bloody nurse like those in silent hill?", Mao asked. "Mmm normal nurse I guess...", Omiko replied with an awkward smile. Ryuko was gripping her fist hard to not surrender to impure thoughts.

"Ry and I are thinking about a theme costume! Maybe Minecraft related or... Superheroes related~", Sayori said excited, then in a more soft voice as she smiled at Ryona, not failing to her promise of getting into her hobbies more, which Ryona loved of course.

"Same, I mean theme costume probably... Yuri wants creepy stuff, I want cool stuff", Natsuki grinned. "I'm thinking about portraying one of my OCs but I don't know which one yet~", Kanefusa said happy. "Good for you, dude~", Emerson replied smiley which got Kanefusa to blush. Haru pouted jealous.

"I'm sure Mayu will dress up as some wrestler... I bet on either Undertaker, Kane or Mankind, but being her it would be a very sexy version hehe...", Monika forgot she was speaking out loud. "Jesus Christ simpika just kiss her already!", Natsuki exclaimed and laughed.

"Ah! I-I was joking hahahahaha... I'll be a fallen angel probably or I don't know hehe...", Monika quickly tried to change the topic but the damage was done and in the case of Mayu, the nervousness had come.

"What about you, Emerson?", Monika asked, trying to deviated the attention from her. "I don't know man... Hermit the frog maybe?", Emerson replied innocent. "That wouldn't make your cuteness justice!", Haru exclaimed upset. "You shush your hormones", Emerson replied unimpressed.

"What about you, Ruri, Ryou?", Erika asked. Ruri almost jumped startled, then she looked around nervous and finally shrugged indicating she didn't know yet apparently. "I don't think I'll come...", Ryou said with an awkward smile.

"Eeeeh? Why not?", Sayori asked sad. "The party is after classes are over... I... I have to work...", Ryou replied.

"You got a part time job?", Monika asked surprised. "Just ask them to let you take the day off! The whole club should be there!", Sayori insisted.

"I-I don't think they'll let me... Specially not that day...", Ryou replied. "Why not??", Sayori said sad.

"R-Ryou works at a candy shop, it's Halloween so they need all the people they can get that day", Yuri finally intervened after seeing her troubled friend. Although it was just a guess, she knew exactly why Ryou wouldn't come "himself".

"Ohhhh, then it's understandable... Don't take it personal Sayori, jobs are like that sometimes...", Monika head patted her friend. "Jobs are mean!", Sayori exclaimed outraged.

Ryou didn't make a sound but his lips moved to tell Yuri "thank you". The purple girl just smiled.

"I don't even need to say it but you'll probably wear some indecent costume too, won't you, Erika?", Natsuki asked. "Correct!", Erika shamelessly replied.

"It seems this will be a Halloween party we'll never forget~", Monika said between excited talks and giggles unaware of how true that statement would soon turn out to be.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hyeh!", the purple girl exclaimed as she hit the wall like man of top hat who didn't move but stopped moving at the same time. "Excellent, you read my attack pattern much faster than I expected, guess that's the advantages of being an avid reader! Wahahaha!", The top hat man laughed with hands on hips.

"T-Thank you, I guess?", Yuri replied with an awkward smile. "Hey, Miss Head, your turn, you defend this time", the hat man shouted to the hooded woman patiently waiting, sitting on the ceramic table of Yuri's garden.

...

"What's with her?", the hat man said scratching his temple. "I-Is something wrong?", Yuri asked concerned. She too noticed the Head unusually distracted, just staring at the grass with an expression impossible to read due to her hidden face.

"I don't know, purple one... Ever since I met her earlier here before you got home she's been like that... I mean she doesn't say much to me either but at least she's always like, focused...", he replied. "M-Maybe she received some bad news?", Yuri asked the first thing that came to mind.

"Top hat, Yuri", the Head spoke. "Yes!", both practically stood at attention, startled by the ever so imposing aura of the hooded woman.

"What do you think about fate?", the Head asked serious, not looking at them yet, her eyes seemed to he fixated on that grass still. "Fate...?", Yuri and the hat man replied looking at each other confused.

"Well... Fate is something as real as the air we breath. For experience, I can tell you fate is not to be underestimated. That force, weather you like it or not will drive together all of those who can change each other's lives in a major way", he said.

"For better or worse, your fate will intertwine with someone else's someday but even if that person changes your life, you'll always have the power to accept or reject that change, embrace your fate or look for a better one, it should be your choice only and yours alone. In the end, we ride on the winds of fate until we find that person we were always meant to be", Yuri spoke with surprising eloquence, making the mysterious woman lift her head and look at her.

At that time, both Yuri and the top hat man saw something neither of them thought they'd ever see, something they thought no one would witness ever and live to tell the tale.

The Head smiled.

"I see... Okay, let's get to work then", it only lasted a second but both would remember that smile for years to come as the Head returned to her serious and focused self, getting up and walking towards Yuri, cracking her neck.

"It seems you hit the nail somehow...", the top hat man said grinning behind his face mask. "Purple one?", he said after hearing no response from Yuri.

The purple girl didn't know why. She didn't understand why but that ephemeral smile warmed her heart for a strange reason.
It was like, she had seen it before not so long ago.

"Again...", the top hat man mumbled to himself, observing both women's behavior as Yuri calmly shook her head and took her stance, ready to continue like nothing happened. The Head did the same.

Ding dong!

"Eh? You expecting someone?", the top hat man asked as the doorbell quickly changed the strange atmosphere that was being created. "I-I don't think so?", Yuri replied just as confused.

"Should I go check?", the hat man asked the Head. "Use that...", the Head sighed. "That...? Oh right! Ahaha...", The hat man then turned around and pulled out his phone to check the cameras installed outside Yuri's house.

"I think you should go open the door, purple girl", the Head man said as he turned around while putting his phone back inside his long coat's inner pockets. The Head just nodded at the still doubtful Yuri. "O-Okay then...", Yuri replied and then rushed back into the house.

"We should leave now, guess you'll stick around to keep an eye", the hat man said while picking up some of the equipment they brought to help Yuri with her training. "No, this time I trust you to do that. I got something to do tonight", and just like that, the Head jumped over the fence and vanished from the scene.

"Well, guess we're making progress on trust", the hat man chuckled and calmly left the garden as well.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Yuri rarely had any visitors. She could count the people coming to knock on her door in the last year with one hand so her options on who was doing it now as she walked there were very limited.

Then, as she peeked through the tiny hole on the door, the purple girl almost jumped away like a startled cat but the noise she made was enough for the person on the other side to notice as she spoke.

"I hear you~", the familiarly feminine voice said and rang the doorbell again. Yuri quickly and panicky looked around for something she didn't even know what it was, then she looked at herself and finally over her shoulder at that glass door thankfully covered by curtains that lead to her garden.

"Okay... You won't open the door, I'll leave then", the girly voice threatened. In the middle of panicking, Yuri didn't notice how long it was taking her to react but for the person on the other side it had been almost five minutes.

"Sorry!", Yuri quickly responded and opened the door at once, finally revealing a girl of white hoodie and red frilly skirt, who carried a her usual pink backpack on her right shoulder. "Sup you~", the pink haired girl said with her cute grin.

"N-N-Natsuki?! W-W-What are you doing here??", Yuri asked full of nervousness. "Yeah, I'm glad to see you too... Geez, great way to welcome your girlfriend...", Natsuki's expression became one of disappointment and sadness she still tried to hide through an awkward smile.

"E-Eh? Ah, no! I'm so sorry, love!", Yuri panicked again and hugged the smaller girl without thinking as if she could leave her at any moment for her dumb behavior. "Okay, okay, I forgive you... You stink a little", Natsuki soon noticed the smell of Yuri's sweat despite the always soft chest that embraced her head.

"Eh? A-Ah... Ahaha...", Yuri then let go of her and stepped backwards suspiciously. "...are you cheating on me right now?", Natsuki asked glaring suspiciously at the taller girl, her heart shaking on the inside too.

"What-? No! I would never!", Yuri exclaimed now scared. "Hmmm sweaty, nervous, messy hair... The only thing that doesn't match is your outfit though, why are you wearing a tracksuit then? Though I like your ponytail", Natsuki asked with crossed arms.

"I-I was... Doing some exercise...", Yuri hesitated a bit but in the end, she didn't lie. "Oh, well, that's surprising...", Natsuki opened her eyes wider but the expression on her face and her body language let Yuri know that had eased her at least a little.

"I would never cheat on you...", Yuri said feeling guilty and of course, fidgeting with her hair. "I know, I know... Guess my mind can play tricks on me too...", Natsuki awkwardly grinned.

Although her whereabouts since then were unknown, Natsuki hadn't forgotten about that black haired girl who after their confrontation, left her with more questions than answers and even to this day, her own girlfriend hadn't shed some light on the mystery of their apparent past relationship.

"I-I'm really happy to see you here though", Yuri said and put on her best smile, doing her best to lighten the mood a little. "Two things then. One, you should greet your girlfriend properly", Natsuki demanded with crossed arms and slightly pouty expression.

"P-Properly...?", Yuri asked confused but as soon as Natsuki's hopeful magenta eyes looked at her for a brief second, noticing immediately the light blush on her cheeks and most importantly, the way she rubbed her lips together, the purple girl knew what she wanted and needed to do.

Yuri then smiled warmly, calmly approaching her girlfriend. She gently grabbed her shoulders, leaned down a bit and met her lips with hers delicately to which Natsuki responded by simply kissing back softly.

"Well, at least your lips aren't sweaty", Natsuki grinned, visibly happier. "Ehehe...", Yuri was glad that was indeed the case.

"Anyways, onto number two. Am I gonna have to stand here all night?", Natsuki asked, crossed arms and tapping the floor with her foot. "A-Ah! No, sorry!", Yuri quickly realized and moved aside.

"Please come in", Yuri said with her best welcoming smile. "About time", Natsuki chuckled and finally got inside the house.

...

"M-Make yourself comfortable, I'll go make some tea...", Yuri said as Natsuki flopped on the large couch, laying on her stomach. "Mmhmm", Natsuki simply replied, glad to finally be able to lay her body down.

Yuri was very careful as she went to kitchen, constantly looking over her shoulder to make sure Natsuki was still laying on the couch, to then let out the most relieved sigh as she peeked through the curtain to see her back garden lonely and quiet, glad both mysterious individuals somehow understood the situation and left to leave her alone with her pink girlfriend.

In no time, Yuri got everything ready to make her famous tea, chosing to leave the water boiling to have some time for her tired looking pink girl who looked like she'd pass out on the couch if she hadn't already.

"You look tired", Yuri giggled as she sat on the couch. Natsuki grunted and crawled her way onto Yuri's lap, resting her head there as if it was the most comfortable pillow in the world. "I'll take that as a yes", Yuri chuckled and began running her hands through Natsuki's pink hair.

Yuri could feel her girlfriend's hair still a  bit wet, guessing correctly she came directly from the gym to her house after taking a shower there. Of course, she opted to not say anything about it and just take this time to give Natsuki this much deserved reward.

"I hadn't forgotten you know?", Natsuki spoke but her eyes were still closed, enjoying the feeling of her girl's fingertips caressing her scalp. "Mm? About what?", Yuri asked curious.

"That date. I told you we would watch the sunrise together sometime and instead of going to my house and having to wake up to freaking early to get here before that, I thought it'd be easier to just stay over the night here and go straight from here", Natsuki explained and with every word spoken, Yuri's heart pounded against her chest.

"Natsuki...", Yuri said with sparkly Violet eyes only to lean down and start tracing kisses along Natsuki's cheek. "Alright, alright, I get it, you're welcome", Natsuki said now feeling a bit ticklish but enjoying her girlfriend's soft lips on her skin nonetheless.

"Why did I ever do to deserve you?", Yuri said nuzzling her cheek against Natsuki's. "Uhhh... Have big boobs?", Natsuki asked and snorted eventually.

"I'm thankful for my chest for a change~", Yuri giggled as she sat up and continued petting her girlfriend. "Dummy", Natsuki rolled to the side, now facing her girl from below with a sweet smile.

It never ceased to amaze the purple girl how cute Natsuki was, in a lot of ways but her face to her was certainly one of the strongest points. Yuri put a hand on Natsuki's cheek who continued to smile, caressing it as she smiled back at her.

She liked to touch her, to feel how beautifully real she was. The feeling of her soft skin on her fingertips was almost addictive but then, as she kept tracing lines and circles on her girlfriend's face, she eventually couldn't help but reach her lips and that's when things began to change a little.

As Yuri put the fingertip of her index finger on Natsuki's lower lip to feel it and remember how sweet it felt everytime it met her own lips, Natsuki surprised her as she kissed it for her.
Yuri blushed unconsciously and even if that was enough to start to arouse her, Natsuki wouldn't stop just yet.

The pink haired girl then opened her mouth a little to be able to put her upper lip over Yuri's finger and with that, she got the tip of her finger into her mouth. Natsuki gently grabbed Yuri's wrist to make sure she didn't try to take it out yet.

Natsuki began rubbing her lips around it while Yuri almost hypnotized watched her do so as their eyes wouldn't stop looking into each other's. Natsuki pulled her girl's finger out of her mouth just to then start using the tip of her tongue to taste Yuri's fingertip like a lollipop, making the taller girl's body go from hot to overheated.

Then, the teapot whistled.

"Seems the water's ready", Natsuki simply said with half a smile, letting go of Yuri's hand and sitting up to allow her to get up. Luckily, Yuri somehow regained her senses as she shook her head which still was fully red and got up to head back to the kitchen.

Natsuki's light blush was still present on her cheeks but as she laid down again, resting her arms and head on the couch's arm to watch her girlfriend go, she couldn't help but let her mind go wild a bit as she looked at her hips and rear, which despite her pants being a bit baggy, they remarked her attributes quite nicely.

"Are we really gonna do it tonight?? Aaaaah! She's so sexy... And she certainly can use her tongue... Ugh... Stupid teapot............... I should take a shower first though... Or we could do it together and- ah, no... She already took one! Ugh... I hope she continues after we drink this tea...", the aroused purple girl thoughts meanwhile were all over the place, simply wishing for more.

Eventually, Yuri calmed down a bit, at least for her face to return to its normal color when she went back to the couch holding two cups of steamy tea. Natsuki welcomed her with a sweet smile, sitting up to make some room for her next to her.

"Let's watch a movie", Natsuki said as she received her cup of tea, blowing a couple of times on it afterwards. "W-What movie would you like to watch?", Yuri asked but the eagerness was eating her from inside.

"I don't know, anything really. Though if you play a horror movie, one not too creepy please", Natsuki said as she wrapped her arms around her girlfriend and got herself comfortable for some cuddling. "I'll see then...", with one arm around her small girlfriend and the other using the remote controller, Yuri started looking for a movie.

Soon, Yuri chose to watch some action movie to stay neutral between her tastes and Natsuki's. With that, they both went comfortably quiet and although Yuri still had hopes for that later, she very much enjoyed cuddling with her girlfriend whatever the time.

But Yuri forgot something crucial and perhaps, she still lacked the experience on the matter to have guessed.
Natsuki was awfully tired.

Almost half an hour into the movie, Yuri felt her girlfriend's arms wrapped around her weakening a little to then start hearing the steady breaths of her and her body resting completely on her own.

"Eeeh... Well... No surprise she's tired...",Yuri thought a bit disappointed but soon recalled what she had witnessed a couple of days ago, understanding why her girlfriend needed a much deserved rest now.

The purple girl looked at the time. It was almost 9 PM. For a Friday, going to bed at that time sounded a bit lame but if Natsuki and her were going to go watch the sunrise somewhere the following day, it then sounded like a good idea as well.

Yuri turned off the TV and carefully put Natsuki down so she could continue sleeping soundly on the couch while she prepared everything.
Cleaning up what she had used to make tea and going upstairs to get her own bed ready for Natsuki to take only took her 5 minutes as much.

Yuri now stood right before her sleeping girlfriend, taking a moment to appreciate the adorable sight with a warm smile.
Despite her body recently being "upgraded" to an extent, Yuri wasn't sure if her strength would be enough to pick up her girlfriend, however neither waking her up nor letting her spend the night on the couch were an option.

Yuri took a deep breath and hoped for the best. She carefully slid her arm under Natsuki's legs and wrapped the other around her upper back and to her pleasant surprise, Natsuki was not as heavy as she'd expect and even more, in her sleep she reacted to this, wrapping her arms around Yuri's neck and relaxing her body, nuzzling against her collarbone a bit.

The purple one squirmed on the inside at how cute Natsuki was but quickly shook her head and carried her bridal style, taking her upstairs to her room were she then carefully put it down on her bed. Natsuki easily let go of Yuri as she felt the softness of the mattress and pillow, giving up to Morpheus completely.

With a quiet but greatly relieved sigh, Yuri sat down next to her and took a little rest herself. "You worked hard, didn't you?", Yuri whispered and smiled as she began caressing her girlfriend's hair again, never tired of the cute sight of a sleepy pink girl.

It was then that Yuri began to feel the effects of fatigue on her body. After all, she'd been training non stop before Natsuki arrived and in words of that top hat man, it was quite the intensive training. Yuri almost dozed off but she shook her head ane stood up.

As much as she wished to go to bed too, she knew she had to solve one little problem, one even Natsuki pointed out and that it made her uncomfortable.
The smell.

Yuri took a shower, still a bit disappointed that things between her and Natsuki didn't get to go further but at the same time, she understood why and just brushed it off, after all, her hard working girlfriend did have reason to be tired and deserved a good rest.

The purple girl had prepared and mentalised herself to go spend the night in her parents room so Natsuki could sleep peacefully on her bed, however, as she came out of the bathroom already wearing her pajamas (a pair of black shorts and a long sleeved old t-shirt), another surprise awaited her.

Her violet eyes then met those magenta sleepy eyes that looked at her from the bed were Natsuki now had sit up with the blanket still over her legs.

"Hey", Natsuki said with a soft voice. Yuri noticed the phone on her hands which she had taken out of her hoodie's pocket for her to sleep comfy. "Hey", Yuri replied with a smile and light blush, now a bit embarrassed to be seen in pajamas.

"I was just... Yaaaaawn... Sorry, I was just setting my alarm... For you know... Tomorrow...", Natsuki said visibly sleepy amidst a great yawn. "Right hehe... W-Well, I'll let you sleep now, wake me up when y-", Yuri began saying as she tried to head out of her room.

"Where the heck do you think you're going?", Natsuki asked frowning cutely, cutting her off. "T-To my parents room like last time?", Yuri replied a bit confused.

Natsuki then moved aside and tapped the empty half of Yuri's bed. "We're girlfriends now... Yaaaawn... Forget that shish and come here...", Natsuki said as her body gave up, letting herself fall on the bed completely again.

Yuri couldn't believe her luck that day but nonetheless, she wouldn't waste this chance thinking too much about it. With a smile she almost ran to her bed and rushed inside the blankets next to Natsuki who was just a second away to pass out.

Yuri was glad to be quick enough to get there before it happened as Natsuki turned to her and wrapped her arms and legs around her, pulling her closer. The purple girl thought her deafening and fast heartbeats would wake her girlfriend up but Natsuki simply kept making herself comfortable with her big purple human body pillow.

"Goodnight...", Natsuki mumbled, nuzzling her face against Yuri's neck, tickling her a bit. "Goodnight, my love", Yuri replied, now the happiest girl in the world as she too wrapped her arms around Natsuki's body, kissing the top of her head goodnight and finally, losing herself in the sweet strawberry smell of her pink hair as she followed her to the land of dreams.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Despite how different and at the same time how normal she looked to her at school, Ryona wasn't one to let her guard down, specially not when it came to her red bow girl.

After all, for a long time Sayori hid her true feelings from everyone there to the point nobody could even think of her going through something like that, not when she was the happiest looking person around.

But Ryona now knew and she wouldn't rest until those rain clouds were too scared to come her dear bubbly girl's way, one way or another, she'd help her clear her sky.

"I've been thinking about it... Steve and Alex are a nice option! Although you may need a beard hehehe", Sayori giggled cutely while showing Ryona pictures of Minecraft cosplays online using her computer. "I don't have a problem with that", Ryona said giggling.

Sayori got a bit impatient and turned around a bit to grab Ryona's arms and wrap them around her neck to then continue her search for the best Minecraft costume ideas. "Then there's the villagers...", Sayori continued rambling but even Ryona sometimes got distracted by her charm, specially now that she had her arms around her again.

Ryona hugged her girlfriend a bit tighter, always careful not to hurt her,  resting her head on Sayori's shoulder. The dark blue haired girl had forgotten how good it felt to hug someone yourself.

"Hehe...", Sayori couldn't help but giggle flattered to then run her fingertips around Ryona's hair and arms, pausing her search to enjoy her girlfriend's affectionate state. "Sayori...", Ryona felt her chest warmer just from saying her name.

"That's me hehehe", Sayori nuzzled her cheek against Ryona's and reached it with a soft kiss.
And then, Sayori's phone mooed.

"Mm? A text from...", Sayori grabbed her phone and checked the notification, immediately recognizing the texting style before even reading the name of the sender. "Ry... Look", Sayori said with a smile as she showed Ryona the text message.

Both then looked at each other with a smile and nodded.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"If I remember correctly... It should be this one...", the hooded woman said to herself as she stood across the street of an old apartment building, similar to the one the pink girl lived in, although the neighborhood was quite worse.

On her way there, she had taken out two delinquents that tried to mess with her and broke the nose of a pickpocketer with a quick back elbow that made him turn his tail and get away full speed while blood drops traced a line behind him.

The Head was amused how bad security was as the security guard himself was sound asleep, easily going in and heading upstairs until she reached the third floor.

But as she turned around into the hallway, the Head immediately stepped back and hid behind the corner as she immediately recognized a familiar figure in the distance.

Calmly walking through the large hallway was a woman of thick muscular legs that her camouflage patterned beige shorts showed well, letting everyone see that number 5 tattooed on one of those thighs, a sleeveless jacket the same pattern and a red tank top under along with some brown tactical boots and that unmistakable red beret on her head.

"Irina...?!", the Head gritted her teeth and as much as she wanted to go and get rid of her at once, she held back to analyze the situation first.
The red beret woman was simply using her lighter to fire her cigarette as she walked. The Head didn't see any traces of blood or other crucial sign of her being there for the wrong reason.

She then was ready to go at her, one slice on her throat was what she was planning to use just like she did to the former 4th star, however, at that moment a sudden sound surprised both.

The sound of glass shattering somewhere near alerted both the Head and the red beret woman, however, the one who practically heard it right next to her was the last one as she was passing right outside apartment 3-F.

The shut door drowned the sound enough for the Head not to hear from where she was at but not enough for the red beret woman not to listen to them.
She then kicked the door open.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••

"How many times do I have to fucking tell you to stop wasting money on this crap?!", a tall man of round belly, wearing a dirty white tank top that showed his slightly hairy and quite sweaty chest, poorly grown beard, shaved head and dilated pupils shouted as he ripped in half a thin book with some unmistakable anime style characters on the cover.

"Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry!", a girl of blue hair and glasses repeated as she curled up on the floor, covering her head with both arms, however that didn't stop the sweaty man as he forced them off the way and got a rough grip on her short wavy hair, picking her up from the floor and launching her onto her slightly empty old bookshelf.

"If it wasn't for your stupid mother providing me with money, I would've kicked you out of my house already...", the sweaty man grunted as he picked his vodka bottle from the desk and drank from it. "I-It's not even your house...", the blue haired girl sobbed on the floor trying to get up.

"Huh?! What was that?!", the sweaty man yelled furious, throwing his bottle against the wall right above the girl's head, shattering it in pieces to then walk over to her and grab her by the hair again with one hand and picking what was left of his shattered vodka bottle with the other.

"You stupid little shit, I'll show you why no one disrespects me!", he shouted on her face, making the girl almost gag from having his spit sprayed on her face and her hot stinky breath going through her nostrils.

"AAAAAAAAAGH!!", the girl screamed as she felt the sharp broken glass on her cheek, digging into her skin and slowly tracing a line along it. "I'll draw the kanji of bitch on you because that's all you are! Hahahah!", the sweaty man laughed while the girl kept screaming as the glass dug into her skin again to trace another line.

The sound of her desperate crying as she went through what it seemed an eternal pain drowned the sound of wood smashing against the wall and the stomping boots that approached louder with every step they took.

"Yeeeeeah! Stay still you stup- GuHAGH!", the sweaty man never finished his masterpiece as a hard and unforgiven boot dug into ribs and pushed him away like he was nothing but a rubber ball, sending him flying onto the nearest wall.

"W-What the- AGH!", he barely got to speak as he tried to get up and understand what had happened only to be met with a fist coming his way full speed that hit his nose. The tall man felt how the bone shattered, almost sure that fist would go through his face until it came out of a hole on the back of his neck.

Luckily or unluckily, the fist retreated only to repeat the process over and over again until he soon passed out from the hard concussions while his face became a bloody and sweaty mess, swollen like it had been stung by a thousand bees.

"Tch", the agressor finally had enough, spitting on the fallen body of the taller man to then turn around to the scared girl on the floor, curled up and crying, covering her head and noticing the blood covering her left cheek dripping.

She then quickly looked for the bathroom and luckily found an old first aid kit, taking it to where the girl was to then get on one knee next to her. Without saying a word, she gently grabbed her arms and removed them from her head to get a better look at the wound. The blue haired girl tried to resist but her strength was no match for her, carefully but forcefully getting them off the way.

The blue haired girl then tried to get a better look at her mysterious savior, but her fallen glasses due to the commotion had her almost blind at the moment, yet she still recognized the color read on what it seemed to be their head.

Then, it all became partially clear as her glasses were put on her by the mysterious person who had noticed them on the floor next to her. The left side saw the world cracked but the right side saw well the blond woman of red beret now looking back at her with a serious expression.

The first thing that came to mind was ask her "who are you" but as she felt the gentle yet burning touch of cotton on her cheek, she hissed in pain but soon stayed still as the red beret woman put a hand on her other cheek to reassure her and keep her from moving too much.

In absolute silence and gritting her teeth to withstand the burning sensation of the alcohol that cleaned her blood, the blue haired girl kept looking at the serious and quiet red beret woman.

Neither of them noticed the hooded figure looking at them from around the corner of the room's door, who thought the following before leaving the scene.
"What the hell is going on...?".

Fates continued to intertwine themselves.
