Not a smile Asuka returned to Tohru, but just a curt nod and on her way she was back to the dorm, wincing a tad from the pain shooting from her back.  She was sure to carry that scar with a grudge once more, but even so, Tohru had suspected possibly this could be an end to the hostilities between the two girls.  Besides, their families may have been embroiled in bloody conflict for years, but nary an ill thought did Tohru have for her.  In fact, she respected Hanazono-san as another fellow student of Claymore and sister of the sword.

[color=6ecff6]"It was nothing really."[/color]  She turned to Rin with a sigh and a wry smile.  [color=6ecff6]"But thanks.  I'm surprised you showed up.  Hmm?"[/color]  Her attention however was caught by another girl in the crowd.  Yes, she was among the cheer and fanfare as the others, but Tohru had never seen her before.  [color=6ecff6]"Ah, konnichiwa."[/color]  She gave a jovial greeting, but the girl turned away, going elsewhere.  [i][color=6ecff6]Eh?  That was odd.[/color][/i]  

[i]"Kyaaaah!!  Tohru-senpai!  You were soooo cool!"[/i]

[i]"I wish I was a strong swordswoman like you, Prince Tohru!"[/i]

[i]"Oooh!  She's even more handsome with her battle scars!!" <333333333333333[/i]

And then here they came, crowding around the two, Rin and Tohru, though a surprise when some of the other girls also cheered for Rin, as they were both victors of their duels today.  [color=6ecff6]"I guess we'll be getting alot of attention from now on, huh Rin-san?"[/color]  Tohru chuckled, her smile ever bright...but...she had hoped this was the only attention they were drawing.

After all.....Kaname and Yuki were still alive, and the Black Knight...would still be searching for her.
