Shinku: HP: 58/90 SP: 30/30

"Uggh."  Shinku hadn't thought that Saito'd go for a tough hit like that. . . Or that it'd knock as much strength as it did out of her.  "Got me good."  She muttered as she grabbed at her stomach.  The world around her was a daze at that point.

[i]"You okay Shin-Chan?"  A somewhat weak voice called out.  "Looks like it hurts."

"No, I'm fine.  It just looks bad."  Was said from an irritated voice before a small hand touched her arm, "Ouch!"

"See?  I knew it."  

"Fine, it hurts. So what?"

"So what?"  The weaker girl tried pulling up the other, "I just get to take care of you this time!"

Shinku smiled and slightly nodded in agreement standing up practically on her own.  "Alright.  I hope you know what yer' doing, Mayoi."

Mayoi smiled back, "Of course!  We'll even go to the festival later this week!  It'll be fun!"[/i]

"Shinku, you sensed it too, right? Your inner self. Call it forth."  It was the transfer student, Kazuo. Shinku had forgot about him in the madness that had been brewing in the last minute or two. 

"My inner self?"  Shinku questioned as she looked up to see Saito rid of something from his mouth.  Something shadow-like. Not long after she felt a power around her and felt her insides lighten up as Saito donned a mask.  As if the blow she had taken from him earlier had never connected practically.  She put a hand out to Kazuo attempting to push him back slightly and standing up.  "My inner self. . . Huh?"

Off to the side she saw carnage as classmate fought classmate.  There was Ito, Minto and the boy with the difficult to pronounce name.  In her mind she reached deeply to find herself. [i]I am thou and thou art me.[/i]  "I see." Shinku mumbled to herself. [i]"I am Jeanne d'Arc, Swordmaiden of Faith!"[/i]  A blond woman with armor and sword appeared above Shinku as a traditional fox mask materialized on her head.   

"Persona!"  Shinku exclaimed pointing her right hand like a gun and aiming at Gruffydd.  "Be my sword, Jeanne d'Arc!" [i]Zio![/i] (roll 18, 29 damage.)  Jeanna d'Arc raises her sword with Shinku and points at Gruffydd starting a small amount of static and strengthening its power to a small bolt of electricity that zaps the dark-haired foreigner.  "Take a nap, it'll make you less cranky."  At that, she pulled off her mask and let it disappate alongside her persona before turning to her roommate who. . . Well, didn't seem to be in the best of conditions.

Quickly she made her way over to Natsuki and kneeled alongside her.  "You're not going to hit me with a stick again. . . Are you?"
