[@Otaku95] [color=ed145b][i]She is just so innocent...[/i][/color] What better word could describe her, her actions, her emotions, just all too endearing to Asuka. She giggled lightly, her sapphire eyes shimmering in the gilded glow of the early sun. [color=ed145b]~"You're such a darling, Ryuko-chan, but yes, I'm perfectly fine my dear. It's quite amusing how entranced you become in your music."~[/color] The song of which she knew, such irony. Was it even possible for any to give sympathy to such a vile, loathsome creature as she? Someone who was born to instill fear into her enemies, to crush and to dominate with her sword clenched in her bloody hand? Was it possible to show compassion for such. Asuka...she didn't believe so. [color=ed145b][i]I can't take it... Ryuko-chan, she's just so beautiful, so adorable, I can't wait to hold her in my arms, but...in my heart...I know... When she discovers the real me, the true Akuma no Hime...I know she will run from me. Ryuko-chan...I don't deserve you.[/i][/color] [@sassy1085] [color=6ecff6]"Eh...?"[/color] She had to tilt her head at the mention of such. Why, in all her duels, never had she heard of such outrageous terms, and dare she say quite humiliating as well. A dumbfounded face she wore for the duration, unable to comprehend such, until she shook herself out of it giving a reply, [color=6ecff6]"Well..umm...that's definitely outlandish, Rin-san, but at least you did the honorable thing and spared her further humiliation. I respect you for that."[/color] She smiled giving Rin a friendly wink. [color=6ecff6]"Still, I find it strange that Yuuko-San would make such bizarre terms, even going so far as to deface herself should she had lost the battle."[/color] Tohru guessed they would never know why. Leaning back in her chair she stifled a yawn and looked around the classroom, suddenly her eyes going wide with the color draining from her face. They were here...in the room....the both of them. [color=6ecff6]"Rin-san...whatever you do, don't look back."[/color] Hoarse was her whisper, her eyes so full of fear. They may not have had their masks or their blades, but still, the two deadly assassins intimidated Tohru...just by their presence alone. She was praying to Amaterasu above they didn't spot her and Rin, when in fact...they did.
