“Hey”
Yossi had went into the room that she shared with Kaoru and saw the younger sitting in one of the sides of the bed, writing frenetically in her computer. Because of that, she didn’t notice Yoshizawa at first and the older had to clear her throat to attract her attention.
“Something interesting?”
Finally, Kaoru raised her eyes from the screen and gave a fast look at Yossi before returning to what she was doing.
“The girls told me a lot of things about this world” she answered without stop writing “You know that the city wasn’t destroyed by a natural disaster?”
“Really? What was then?”
“Bombs”
This time she looked straight at Yossi, who sat at the corner of the bed and waited for a more extended explanation. The younger had really caught her attention.
“It seems that sixteen years ago there was an earthquake…”
“Didn’t you say that it wasn’t a natural disaster?” interrupted Yossi.
“I haven’t finished yet…” answered Kaoru glaring at her.
“Oh… Ok, ok, sorry”
“Well.., as I was saying…” continued the younger “There was an earthquake, not a stronger one but global around the world”
Kaoru turned the screen to show Yossi a 3D map of Earth simulating the moment. The whole planet had shake at unison as a balloon in a kid’s hands.
“Of course, even if it was a small one, the fact that it was worldwide caused millions of deaths. Imagine the chain reaction; a small earthquake in
“The monsters?”
“They say that the beasts appeared right after the earthquake, coming from the core of the planet, and began to hunt.”
“You mean to…”
Kaoru just nodded and suddenly, an image of Miki’s documental with lions passed through Yossi’s mind. She quickly shook her head and return to the conversation.
“So…, the bombs…?”
“Our last chance”
Nakazawa’s voice coming from the opened door surprised both girls.
“…or that’s what the big heads of the country thought…” continued Yuko.
“And the army?
“They fell like lambs under the wolf’s claws one by one. So, they decided to fight the fire with fire”
The girls remained in silence trying to imagine how desperate the situation was to don’t have another chance but destroy your own country to save it and after that, see that it was not use at all. Thousands of people dead to kill just the half of them.
“Anyway, stop talking about sad things” said Nakazawa taking the katana that Yossi had left next to the door and throwing it to her “I wanna see what you’re able to do”

Aya woke up in the same room again for the second time that day. The difference was that nobody else was there. Feeling her leg still a bit weak, she sat up at the corner of the bed and raised a hand to stroke her hair.
Then, spread all over the floor, she saw her clothes.
“You’re gonna pay for that, Fujimoto…”
Matsuura blame herself for being so weak hours ago. How could Miki dared to touch her, to… kiss her… And even worst… How could she let her do? The moment they fell on the bed she should had kicked her ass and ran away to some place where she could hide herself from that… person.
Getting up from the bed, she walked towards the window and looked outside where the sun had begun to disappear. Aya was daring, but not crazy. In the end, Miki had got what she want, to make her stay.
“Damn you…”

“You have to be kidding me…”
“No, I don’t”
“But I don’t even know how to hold this!” complaint Yossi, shaking the sword in the air.
“You’ll do it well” said Yuko tapping her in the shoulder and smiling “Just don’t let her intimidate you”
Nakazawa had taken Yossi to the building’s square, where the rest of the girls waited. The younger didn’t know what was going to happen ‘till she saw the people cheering and screaming the name of her opponent.
Yuko leave the circle and, at the other side, Yossi could see Fujimoto, standing with the
“Ready?”
