Kou rushed through the new orange dorm bungalows, and after asking a few students, found out which one belonged to Etsuko, rushing to get the key in the door, opening it, as Kou looked in, his frantic look dissolved into one of relief. "Etsuko...chan..."  
    Etsuko looked up from her seat, her legs tied together and her hands bound behind her back. "Kou-kun? Oh, thank goodness!" She said in relief. "I just wish you didn't see me like this..."  
    Kou jogged over and bent down, untying Etsuko's hands first. "It's okay, I'm just glad you're okay...they didn't hurt you did they Etsuko-chan?"
    "I don't really remember." Etsuko answered. "After everyone starting yelling about you, I just couldn't take it. Before I could make it here, someone caught me from behind. The last thing I remember is something hard hitting me..."
    "Okay, I'll check the back of your head after I..." Kou gulped. "Untie your legs..." Kou tried to untie Etsuko's legs without looking up her skirt or feeling her legs, his face going red as he eventually managed to untie the knot.
    Kou got up, all flustered. "Phew...okay Etsuko-chan let me look at your hea-"
    Etsuko quickly got up and wrapped her arms around Kou. "No, it's okay...I'm fine. Especially with you here, with me..."  
    Kou blushed. "E-Etsuko-chan what're you...?"
Etsuko moved one hand from around him and place a finger to his lips. "Come on, Kou-kun. Can't I properly thank you for saving me?"
    Kou didn't move his lips, blushing as he felt Etsuko's soft finger touch his lips.
    Etsuko playfully moved her fingers down, from his lips to his chest. "It feels like forever since we've been this close. It really hurt when you went away, you know."
    "Sorry..." Kou stutterd, his blush getting more visible.
    Etsuko moved both her hands to Kou's shoulders, her expression almost that of a cat playing with a mouse. "But you know what they say...far from the eyes, close to the heart. I never stopped thinking about you...so when they started talking all those bad things about you, it probably hurt me more than it hurt you."
    "I-I'm sorry..." Kou repeated, sounding like a broken record.
    "Don't say that..." Etsuko answered, playing Kou around like a puppeteer would tug on the strings of its marionette. "Let's just stay here, together, and forget everything else ever happened..."
    The light in Kou's eyes began to fade. "Wh-what do you mean...I...still have to save...Xia-chan...don't...I...?"
    "Do you? Do you still care about her? Does she even care about you now?" Etsuko continued, her grin now almost predatory.
    "No...she doesn't...does she..." Kou sat down on a nearby chair, Etsuko's arms still wrapped around him. "But...I...I can't stay here...I mean...the darkness and the radiance...need to look out for Tacey...Yu...Seb...Megumi..."
    Etsuko kept her feline grin. "You don't need them, Kou...you just need me."
    The light finally faded from Kou's eyes as a small grin began to grow on his face.  
    "That's gotta be the biggest load of crap I ever heard!" came Yu's voice from just outside.
    "Yeah! Etsuko you just want Kou all to yourself!" Lena's voice followed.
    "This girl is crazy...and advancing on N-Naruki-kun!" Megumi's voice came as-well.
     Etsuko quickly turned to look at them. "What are you-"
    "Y-Yu? L-Lena? Megumi?" Kou asked, rubbing his eyes.
    Yu folded his arms. "Kou left the door wide open. Not surprised if everyone in this dorm heard you."
    Etsuko gave the three of them a menacing glare. "You're not taking him from me, you got that?"
    Lena and Megumi stomped over and both grabbed one of Etsuko's arms. "Yes we are!" They both said in unison before tossing Etsuko onto her bed.
    Yu walked over to Kou. "Okay, enough fooling around. Snap out of it!" He yelled, shaking Kou's shoulder roughly.
    "Y-Yu...what happened?" Kou got up, the light back in his eyes.
    Etsuko tried to get up, only to act like a wounded cub. "Ow...Kou, don't let them hurt me!"
    "Etsuko...chan...why're you...?" Kou asked, seeming very drowsy.
    Yu let out an irritated sigh. "You ain't gonna like this, bro... but I don't think she's in her right mind."
    Megumi looked confused. "So this girl isn't nomrally this crazy and upfront?"
    Yu lifted Kou's arm and put himself under it. "You kidding? Last I remember her, she was a shy as...uh...well, she couldn't even look at him without tripping on her own words!"
    "Oh my goodness, d-did it go out of hand?" Suddenly Kasejima's voice came from the door.
    "What...Kasejima-senpai?" Kou asked, trying to get his arm off Yu. "It's okay...I'm not that tired...thanks..."
    Yu took a quick look at Kasejima, then looked away. "S-sorry. Guess this whole day's just been one mess after another." He said, sounding half-way between worried and apologetic.
    Kasejima walked over and grabbed Yu's hand as if apologising, regret in her eyes. "I'm so sorry...Etsuko wanted me to help her build confidence...so I encouraged her to be a bit mroe upfront with Kou...I never thought it'd go this far...I'm so sorry, Yu-kun, Kou-kun..."
    Yu shook weakly. "You should try apologizing to those two." He suggested, pointing at Lena and Megumi. "Right now, I'll take Kou back to the dorm. We're...expected."
    "Okay...again I'm so sorry, if there's anything I can do, you can find me at around the White Dorm okay?" Kasejima let go of Yu's hands with a smile then walked over to Etsuko before turning to Megumi and Lena. "I'll tell her what she did wrong...and apologise to her...and I'm sorry to you both too." She apologised again, bowing slightly.
    "Just make sure she goes back to the old Etsuko, okay?" Lena asked, seeming to miss the point.
    "...make sure she stays in line." Megumi also seemed to be missing the point.
    "Um...of course..." Kasejima replied, trying to agree with them as a sweatdrop went down her head.
    Yu walked over to Kou. "Let's get moving, boss. Looks like we all need a good shake."
    When everyone had left, Kasejima closed the door and turned to Etsuko who was now sulking in the corner.
    Etsuko folded her arms. "It almost worked..." She said, looking grumpy.
    Kasejima sat opposite Etsuko, giving her a warm smile. "I know dear...that Narukami Yu is very tenacious...but don't worry...my next plan will have both you and Kou-kun together for a long time..."
    Etsuko looked relieved. "Oh, that's great!" She stated, putting her hands together. "What's the plan?"
    Kasejima let out a rather sinister chuckle. "Well...I can keep that Yu busy...and those two girls...well if I can start their little bickering...you and Kou-kun will be left alone for hours and hours..." Kasejima's chuckle turned to a slight cackle.
    Etsuko tilted her head. "But...what about the others? Tacey, and those new boys...and that girl I heard you talk to?"
    Kasejima just placed her head in one hand with a smile. "They may be too busy trying to settle the fire between the red head and Miss China...if not, I have other ways of distracting them." Kasejima took Etsuko's hands like a big sister. "No matter what, Etsuko-chan...I will make sure you and Kou-kun become close."
    Etsuko's dark eyes widened as she smiled. "Promise?"
    Kasejima's warm smile returned. "Promise."
    
Meanwhile, Seb used the speed dial to call his contact after making sure no one was watching. "Let's just hope this works."
    The line picked up on the other end. "Ohhhh! Hey Seb, did you bring Naruki, Kou to our side? I wanna see him for real~!" The girl from earlier asked on the other end.
    "I wish..." Serph commented, sounding defeated. "Couldn't even pull one target right. Look, I need someone to come pick up the Lightray cards. I can't do this..."
    The girl on the other end paused for a moment. "...sure, be at the docks by sunset tomorrow."
    "Right, I'll be there. Oh, and by the way...whatever that Risen Fiend is...I don't think it has anything to do with the Darkness."
    "....yep, we already knew silly!" The girl then cut Seb off.
    Seb let out a heavy sigh, before erasing the number from his cellphone. "Might as well pack my bags, too...doesn't feel like I'll be staying here for much longer."
So, what happened with Etsuko?
