Prompt:  Suppose you're a high schooler. You're no fighter though pretty athletic. Now, two of your rowdy classmates, a Jinko and a Hellhound blocks your path, they want your homework to copy theirs and then destroy yours. Your Hinezumi stepsister sees this and comes to protect you, only to be punched in her gut, by the Hellhound. What would you do?



Resopnse:

Letting out a sigh, I pick my step sister up, give the two a cocky grin, and run the other way. They both give chase, trying to catch me, but thanks to my smaller size I slip between two of the school buildings. I go to keep running, before hearing a loud crunching sound.

I turn around and the hellhound has ripped her way through the gap, leaving both buildings with a decent hole in the side, while her friend watches with wide eyes. "You thought that was going to stop me?" The hellhound growls, leaping at me. She suddenly freezes mid-air, the lich magic teacher holding her in place.

"Miss Sulphur, how many times do I have to punish you for damaging school property?" The hellhound was twisting and growling in the air, frustrated at the position.

"I'm sorry for my friend's rash action miss." The jinko bows, looking to me with a pleading eye. The teacher looks between me and the jinko, then nods.

"I will not be punishing you, but Miss Sulphur, you will be coming with me." And with that she left, the hellhound floating behind her. The jinko sighs, then looks at me.

"Thanks for not mentioning about the homework thing." I smile, telling her she owes me for it. She glare's at me for a second, before asking “Just what do I owe you?" With a nonchalant shrug I just tell her to keep her friend from chasing me, and to stop bothering me for homework. I'm not even that good at the class!

We kind of only used the homework as an excuse..." I raise an eyebrow, asking if she's saying what I think she is. She blushes slightly.

Because... yeah... we, uh, we kinda... do." She looks at me again. Sighing again I put my sister down against the building. I look back at the jinko, asking how long that's been the case.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:10.0pt;mso-fareast-font-family:"TimesNewRoman"; mso-bidi-font-family:Helvetica;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU">"Um... only, only the last year or two..." I'm surprised by the answer, and ask if the hellhound share's her feelings. "Why do you think she chases you? She wants to catch you somewhere the teachers can't see." I nod, then get a sly smile, and ask if she'll protect me from her.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:10.0pt;mso-fareast-font-family:"TimesNewRoman"; mso-bidi-font-family:Helvetica;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU">"Who do you think keeps getting you away from the unpopulated areas?" She says with a smile.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:10.0pt;mso-fareast-font-family:"TimesNewRoman"; mso-bidi-font-family:Helvetica;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU">That day after school the two of us are waiting outside the teacher’s office for the hellhound to leave. When she emerges, she spots us instantly, and start's stalking towards us. When I tell her I know about what her and the jinko feel, she freezes in her tracks, eyes darting from the jinko to me.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:10.0pt;mso-fareast-font-family:"TimesNewRoman"; mso-bidi-font-family:Helvetica;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU">"She did, did she?" She mutters, then looks at me. "So, what now? Am I going to have to beat you into submission?" She gets a sadistic smile on her face, cracking her knuckles, before the jinko steps between us.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:10.0pt;mso-fareast-font-family:"TimesNewRoman"; mso-bidi-font-family:Helvetica;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU">"No, you aren't." She states. "We're going to share, like we promised, and you're not touching his sister again." The hellhound cocked her head to the side.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:10.0pt;mso-fareast-font-family:"TimesNewRoman"; mso-bidi-font-family:Helvetica;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU">"Okay then. I didn't mean to hit her so hard, but that little mouse doesn't exactly pull punches either." I make my way home, my new girlfriends on either side of me.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:10.0pt;mso-fareast-font-family:"TimesNewRoman"; mso-bidi-font-family:Helvetica;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU">"Oh, I should mention my next heat is in a few days... You may want to prepare for that." The jinko whispers in my ear. This is going to take some getting used to.
