Tenshis saviour (Tenshi and Mihane)

[Deleted]

Tenshi was just trying to have a normal school day but something had gone wrong, while walking to class three girls from her own year surrounded her and began insulting her with different terms like "vampire" due to her photosensitive skin, this tended to happen quite a lot with her so Tenshi just tried to get away from them but today was going to be different, different how you ask? Well just watch and be patient my dear reader. The bullies grabbed Tenshi's parasol and ripped it off her which caused her face and skin to become exposed to the suns harsh rays, within seconds her skin began to turn red as it became sunburnt, Tenshi did try to get her parasol back from the three bullies but all that did was cause her to end up upon the ground.

"Pl-please give me my parasol back!" Tenshi begged as tears of pain starting to form in her eyes, her skin was starting to get burnt and it really did hurt, this was why she never ever went outside without her parasol, it just hurt far too much for that. The bullies just sneered and laughed at her as Tenshi began crying in pain. "Awww, what’s wrong little vampire? Can't handle a little sun you big cry baby?" they taunted and mocked Tenshi as she pulled herself back up to her feet and made another desperate attempt to reclaim her parasol, she could of easily just ran away under some cover from the sun but she needed her parasol, not because of the sun protection it gave but be because it meant a lot to her, not to mention the deadly equipment and other important items it held inside.

Her newest attempt at reclaiming her parasol just ended her back up on the ground having been pushed over yet again, if help didn't come soon then Tenshi would suffer some seriously bad sunburns as well as never getting to see her parasol again, she could not afford for that to happen, it would mean that she would be stuck in her own room until s new parasol and new cream for her burns where sent over which would effectively trap her inside her dorm room.

Meiyuki was out in the gardens that surrounded the Academy. She had staked a small spot that was surrounded by water. Most people found the fountains distracting, but here...she found her center. She slowly closed her eyes after taking a sip of her tea. She concentrated a bit and then lost herself to the flows around her. Her breath came slowly and when it was exhaled...it was frosty and visible. Meiyuki was devout in her belief that remembering your home...gave you strength. And, Hokkaido...was known for it's freezing cold.

Frost began to build in the fountains as she slowly brought forth her element. Of course the sudden shouting ruined her concentration...having not been in her "zone" quite yet. She tried again and again to bring herself to her center...but to no avail. Meiyuki opened her eyes and glared. She stood up from her place and noted the bullying, and was disgusted. She picked up her own parasol that she had staked in the ground and grabbed her sword. It didn't take her a long time to get there, but by then the damage was already being done.

All of a sudden Tenshi would find herself in the shade, a parasol stuck in the ground beside her. If she looked up the slight glare from the edge of the parasol would render it impossible to actually see Meiyuki...but not deafen her. "Finding it funny to pick on someone with a defficiency, do you?" The girls paused noting the presence of the upperclassman. They stepped back a bit when they realized who it was. The Ice Queen had come...and she was not on their side.

"Well? Answer me underclassmen." Her hand was on the hilt of her katana...the deadliness of her blade quite well known to those cared to know about the cold samurai girl.

Tenshi screwed up her eyes closing them; she just wanted this whole miserable affair to be over already! It wasn't fair how she was treated because of her condition and just wished that she could go one day without people making fun of her behind her back or people bullying her like she was being now. Suddenly she found herself in the shade and looked up to see a parasol covering her providing protection from the sun, it may be too late to prevent Tenshi's skin from becoming burned but at least now she would not get worse. She could not see who had decided to step in and protect her but oh boy was Tenshi grateful for the kindness of this stranger, how did she know it was a stranger you ask? Well, one. Tenshi had no friends and secondly who ever had intervened used an unknown voice.

"Hai-haiu... th-thank you...."Tenshi squeaked as she stood up removing the parasol from the ground then got a good look at her protector, sh-she knew who this was! It was the fabled ice queen of the school! Bu-but why was she helping Tenshi?! Tenshi squeaked like a mouse and her legs began shaking out of terror, what if the ice queen was only helping her so she could bully Tenshi by herself? Ekk!!! That was a rather scary prospect from Tenshi's point of view. "Mi-mi-miss ic-ice queen? Co-could you um... ge-get my parasol back? ha-haiu....." If Tenshi had her parasol back then she could use it and its bag of tricks for her to escape, it did hold her gear inside it after all and if she had her gear... then well, let’s say she could easily use her smoke bombs to run back to her dorm room and lock herself away for the rest of the day regardless of the impact it would have upon her lessons.

The bullies took a few steps back but didn't run away, as scary as the "Ice Queen" was known to be they weren't going to run away that easily, oh the stupidity of the young students was very obvious here, they were overconfident and thought that together they could somehow defeat the "Ice Queen" and keep Tenshi's parasol for themselves just so they could torment her further in the future. They were definitely scared of Tenshi's apparent saviour though and with good reason, the katana she wore at her waist was plenty reason to be both cautious and damn right afraid of her.

[Yukihana]

Meiyuki extended her hand. "The parasol, now...if you please. I'd rather not send anymore students out of the academy then I have to. But mark me...I won't hesitate to do so." Her hand didn't waver, nor did her voice or her eyes. Her stance spoke volumes...she wasn't to be trifled with. This wouldn't be even close to the first time that she could end up maiming someone...or the first time she actually did take a limb off. The fact that she was so calm spoke that she HAD actually done such before.

It wasn't that she liked Tenshi or cared, she just hated bullies. Her code left absolutely zero room for such a thing to happen. Her code meant a lot to her, much like the samurai of old. She did not hesitate to unleash her full potential to hold to her ideals. However, that wasn't to say that she didn't feel sorry for Tenshi, just that she had other reasons for standing up to them.

"Give me the parasol...and you can all leave without getting hurt."

The bullies all froze in fear of the Ice Queen, they could either stand their ground and most likely end up like all the other "victims" of the Ice Queen or they could call it quits for today and run along home, they chose to run away in terror leaving behind Tenshi's parasol which was laying on the ground undamaged, outward appearance wise anyway, Tenshi would have to look at it closely when she got back to her dorm room which would be soon as she wasn't going to go to her lessons today, due to her exposure to the sun her skin was burned and she didn't want to go to class looking like a tomato.

"Uh uh umm.. th-thank you mi-miss Ice Queen.....ha-haiu...." Tenshi stuttered out shyly and ran over to reclaim her parasol regardless of any further exposure to the sun she went through in reclaiming it, she NEEDED it back and once she had ran over to where it was laying she quickly picked it up and opened it wide over her head then let out a breath of relief before turning back to face her so called "saviour" if you could call her even that, Tenshi might not of been the most social connected person but she had been forced to visit the nurse quite often as a result of her condition which is how she came to learn about the Ice Queen's victims.

[Yukihana]

Meiyuki pushed her blade fully back into it's saya. She let out a breath and picked up her own parasol and closed it. "Shi Tenshi, 2nd Year. You need to be more careful how you go about the Academy. Your skin condition will lead to much bullying if you do not find a way to stand up for yourself." Meiyuki turned to the girl and offered her hand up, helping the girl to her feet. "Learn to stand on your own two feet, or you will learn that your butt isn't comfortable on the ground." She sighed and helped the girl into the Academy proper.

There it was a short walk towards the Nurse's office. When she gave Meiyuki a questioning look, she waved her hand. "Not to worry...this is not mine. It seems a little someone has gotten to much sun today." The Nurse cocked her eyebrow until she saw Tenshi and opened a cabinet, then motioned for the girl to sit down. Meiyuki was going to make her move to leave when the Nurse stopped her. "Don't be so hasty Miss Mihane. You brought her in. You can escort her back to her room. I think she's seen enough for today."

Meiyuki sighed a bit, her tea was getting cold. And she really hated cold tea...more than whiny babies. She shrugged her shoulders a bit and stood in the doorway, waiting for Tenshi's treatment to be over and they were dismissed.

Tenshi squeaked like a scared mouse as she suddenly found herself being helped into the school and to the nurses office by her saviour, she understood why the Ice Queen had rescued her from the bullies but why did she help her to the nurses office? Tenshi didn't even need to go as she had her own supply of the medical burn treating cream in her dorm room, locked away somewhere safe of course as the cream wasn't exactly cheap to obtain.

"Uh uh umm... ha-haiu... thank you umm... miss Mihane and uh umm.., she saved me from some of the bullies and umm... I'm really grateful to her for it" Tenshi sat down where the nurse indicated and squirmed awkwardly thinking about what Mihane said standing on her own two feet, was Tenshi really that weak? She.... just didn't know and would have to think about it at a later date, perhaps after Mihane had escorted her back to her own dorm room?

And so Tenshi was sitting where the nurse had wanted her to sit still feeling very uncomfortable, fortunately the cream would only need to be applied to her face, lower arms and shoulders and so wouldn't have to do anything more then roll up her sleeves as they were the only areas that got exposed to the sun light for a dangerous amount of time. Tenshi was still thinking about what Mihane had said about standing upon her own two feet, she knew that she was going to think on it back at her dorm room but it was just very puzzling, Tenshi knew that she would most likely never be able to actually stand up for herself, she lacked the confidence and backbone required for that.

[Yukihana]

Meiyuki just stood there and waited as the nurse went about her business. There wasn't much to do so in her boredom she began rubbing the hilt of her sword. She closed her eyes and imagined her tranquil retreat. Imagined a room full of running water, and fountains. Beautiful beyond compare. The more and more she felt it, the more the water in the pools began to freeze. Soon sculptures of natural water were there, frozen in time and in the real sense of the word. It was peace, it was serenity.

It was shattered when the Nurse spoke again. Saying she was all done. She breathed deeply, realizing she had stopped. She then turned to Tenshi, "let's be off then. I do not wish to keep my tea waiting much longer." Meiyuki pushed herself off the wall and turned to leave.

[Deleted]

Tenshi slid off the table that she was sitting on and then pulled down her uniforms sleeve as well as pulling it back over her shoulders as the cream began to soak into her skin, already she could feel the relief from the cream taking effect, she really wished that she didn’t suffer from her skin condition but alas she did and she would never ever be able to go outside normally like normal people where able to but then again this school was not for normal people so there was also some aspect of being different and unique to that yet such uniqueness always carried a price which was a concept she was starting to believe applied to all cases of being unique.

“I am umm.. so-sowwy you had to umm save me and bring me here..….haiu….” she apologised to Meiyuki and then held Meiyuki’s right hand holding up her parasol with her other hand, now that might seem like strange behaviour seeing as how the two of them had just met but Tenshi was a weakling and always would be, she knew that deep down and had accepted that as a fact of life years ago but unlike herself Meiyuki was strong, she could protect herself and Tenshi hence why she was holding her hand, she was hoping that Meiyuki’s reputation as the “Ice Queen” would be enough to keep her safe while they walked back to her dorm room.

“I’m umm.. re-ready.. haiu….” she said softly still feeling a little embarrassed as she awaited Meiyuki to lead the way even though Tenshi would have to provide directions, Meiyuki didn’t exactly know where her dorm room was located after all even though the fact she was in the year two dorm would make at least locating the general location of her room easy enough, not that it mattered though as she could just provide directions simply.

[Yukihana]

Meiyuki blinked at the hand grab and sighed, closing her eyes and counting edges to a snowflake in her mind, to calm herself. She walked through the academy, thankful that everyone was either in their rooms or at the very least...not in the hallways. She moved quickly towards where Tenshi might be rooming. "Are you going to help find your room...or do I have to guess and check?" Her anger was evident in her voice...though it still hadn't cracked fully.

She hated it when her anger rose, or any of her emotions for that case. It felt like a loss of herself, or something. She hated this feeling and hated it when she lost control. She took a deep breath and let it out in a 5 count. It took awhile but she eventually found her control. Tenshi was...annoyance more than anything. Anyone who believed that they were weak and deserved to be bullied for it was not worth her time at all. She just wanted to deposit her in her room and begone.

[Deleted]

Tenshi immediately let go of her hand and just walked ahead of her picking up the pace, she felt that her saviour was annoyed by her, not that she blamed her as Tenshi tended to just cause problem after problem after problem or people. Back to returning to her dorm though she stopped and face Yukihana then spoke in the quite mouse like squeak of a voice “Umm… th-thank you for umm.. helping but I’m going to go by myself from here! Uh umm.. by-bye!” She seemed to be a little bit panicky when she spoke hence why she accidentally raised her voice by a few decimals of sound due to her being kind of worried yet that didn’t matter as they were only about ten feet or so away from Tenshi dorm room at this point of time so Tenshi could easily run to her dorm.

Wasn’t like she was worth Yukihana’s effort in helping, little did Tenshi know that was actually a part of the reason why Yukihana was so annoyed with her and if you’re wondering how she knew that Yukihana was annoyed it was because of the anger management exercises she carried out, Tenshi was a smart girl so it was pretty easy for her to figure out what Yukihana was doing or at least make an educated guess about it and oh, did I mention the angry tone in Yukihana’s voice? No I didn’t but it was still one of the reasons why Tenshi assumed that Yukihana was annoyed with her as Tenshi blamed herself for pretty much everything. So without any further delay she moved away from Yukihana quickly running to the entrance to her block of dorms and then heading right for the staircase.
