Aiko let out a breath of air in irritation as she slouched against the wall, sliding until she was in a seated position on the floor with her legs out in front to avoid further embarrassment, the last thing she needed was her fellow students getting a glimpse up her short skirt.


    As Aiko just sat there thinking to herself her train of thought was interrupted by the girl that she met on the Humvee.


    The girl just stood there staring at her Aiko looked like a girl that was homeless, she scoffed once she realized whom it was.


    Rubbing the back of her head, Aiko asked, "Then...why did you come here?"


    The black haired girl flustered at the thought, she clears her throat, "I heard you were looking for that girl, I may know of a way to find her so come with me"


    Aiko was about to blindly follow the girl anywhere before she remembered what happened with those other girls, how do I know that I can trust her, she chastised herself.


    The girl gasped, "I may not be friendly to everyone!..." she turns her head slightly away from Aiko "...that doesn''t mean I''m a sadistic bitch" she said muttering the last part to herself.


    "What was that last part you said?" Aiko asked she got an idea of what this girl said, however, she just wanted concrete evidence of what she actually said.


    The black haired girl stormed off in the distance, "Just hurry up and I don''t have all day to wait for you of all people!" she called out.


    Aiko nervously says, "Um, thank you for doing this".


    Once again the girl flustered, what is with this girl making me feel like this, she thought to herself. "W-Well...don''t expect any more help from me!" she stuttered.


    At first, the girl was hesitant before deciding to do so, "Emike" she muttered quietly.


    Aiko took in a quick breathe of air, she started walking towards the bench where the girl was sat that Emike spoke off, she sat there with her eyes closed as if she were dreaming.


    "Before you ask no..." she bluntly put. Jesus, I didn''t say what it was and she''s already saying no, Aiko thought to herself "...do you know how tough it is just to keep one Coordinator happy, let alone two!"


    "Uh, no I''m not here for that" Aiko hastily replied.


    "Anyway, I''m Hibiki what can I do for you?" she stood up brushing down her short skirt and corset. Aiko never really took in the beauty of this girl before, it seemed almost alien for her to look this beautiful.


    Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more."Well, I''m Aiko ni-" before she could finish Hibiki grabbed her left hand with both of hers squeezing it tightly in her grip, her face looked like she''d found a celebrity.


    Getting back to the subject at hand, "Is Sachika the girl that saved me the other day?" Aiko asked.


    "Why do you ask, you need her for something?" Hibiki asked, her interest was piqued.


    Aiko stands there nervously for a moment, "I just wanted to thank her personally for the other day"


    Hibiki stood there for a moment grinning, "Oh is that all..." Aiko stood there looking at Hibiki perplexed "...forget what I said, the only place I can think of Sachika being at right now is the Tower of Es, she usually goes there to spend a little alone time with herself..." she pauses for a moment pointing at the single huge standing tower not far from the central courtyard, blue energy currents ran up the edges of the old stone meeting at the top forming a light blue hue of an orb "...if she''s not there then I''ll have no idea where she could be"


    Aiko bowed slightly surprising Hibiki, " Thank you for your help, I really appreciate it" she started heading towards the tower before she was stopped by Hibiki calling out her name. "Aiko, be careful when speaking to Sachika..." she rubs the back of her head nervously as she thought for a moment "...she''s not dangerous, but she can be quite sensitive if you say the wrong thing"


    Aiko smiled and bowed once again, "Thank you again, Hibiki-san" she waved before continuing towards the Tower of Es, once again Hibiki was pleasantly surprised by the remark the girl referred her too, she too waved at Aiko as she left.


    She looked out of the small holes in the side walls that were made to let light in, she could see the sun setting in the distance meaning it was almost time for the students return to their dorm blocks for curfew.


    As Aiko ignored that fact, she continued up the stone stairs panting and breathing heavily, next time I have physical education for my class timetable I swear I''ll never slack off, this was one of those moments Aiko wished she put in the extra effect in physical fitness at high school, she made a point in her mind that from here on out she''ll put in one hundred and ten percent into staying fit.


    At the top of the tower, Sachika sat on the edge of the stone railing looking out at the sunset while listening to her music on her headphones.


    Panting slowly at first, she suddenly felt this tingly pleasurable feeling going through her composed fibril letting out a soft moan. It''s reacting to the presence of someone, Sachika wondered whom it could be.


    When she heard the loud thump against the stone floor behind her, she turned around, surprised by who it was. Aiko on her knees was breathing heavily trying to catch her breath after walking the entirety of the Tower of Es.


    Aiko got her breath back to a bearable state, she looked up seeing Sachika seated on the railing, her cleavage exposed as sweat dripped downward.


    Trying to get the image of Sachika''s cleavage out of her mind, Aiko spurted out, "I-I just wanted t-to say thank you for the other day..." still breathing heavily from walking the stairs the rest of what she wanted to say didn''t come out.
