Shakugan no Shana -Fragments of Crimson- [On Hiatus]

Gonna be dropping out of this, sorry.

"...W...waaaahhh..."

Never had Ushio wanted to simply melt away and be forgotten as much as right now. Why did Hiromi have to choose a place where anybody could show up? She nervously checked her surroundings, fearing eavesdroppers. There only seemed to be one person nearby, and wasn't paying them any attention, but it was still way too big an audience for Ushio to handle!

"D-do I really have to...?" Ushio mumbled nervously, face glowing red, "U-um, it's... em-embarrassing, um, ca-can't change now..."

"...I... I was..."

Today was quickly becoming one of Ushio's more embarrassing experiences, the young maid found. Why did Hiromi have to question her so much...? Then again, why couldn't she just answer honestly? It wasn't like changing in the bathroom was all that shameful, right? Probably? Yet it seemed to be an action far beyond Ushio's capabilities. The far easier thing to do was clearly to just move on and forget!

Darting a few paces forward, Ushio slapped on a nervous grin as she faced the drill-haired girl and said, "N-nevermind! We should hu-hurry, the, uh... the food might get cold! Y-yeah, that!"

Isla is so smart, taking her surveillance outside before everyone could fight each other.

Ushio nervously returned the smile Hiromi directed at her, and quickly returned to her usual 'stare at the ground' routine. Now that they were out of the class and away from prying eyes, Ushio's awkwardness didn't feel amplified to ludicrous levels. Now she just needed to get impossibly lucky and suffer no more teasing for the rest of the day.

"Why aren't you in uniform, Ushio-chan?"

Well, that lasted a solid three seconds.

Face exploding with colour once more, Ushio's eyes widened as she raised her head. Her bag containing the uniform hung from her shoulder, and she tried to squeak out an explanation, "I-I-I was tr-trying to ta-take my clothes off b-but then people c-could hear me! S-So I couldn't-"
Ushio clamped a hand over her mouth, heat radiating from the embarrassed maid as she realised what was said. Now would be an amazing time to hide behind Rumbling Earth Maestro, at least that completely mysterious and not-at-all-Ushio-like lady wouldn't dig a deep hole for herself...

Face still burning, Ushio quietly followed her drill-haired friend from the classroom. Her unease slowly abated as they left the prying eyes of the other students behind, but her gaze was still fixed to the floor. She was grateful that Hiromi had removed them from the classroom, but the way they stared didn't sit well with Ushio. Granted, Hiromi's tone could use a bit of work...

"...Eh? Oh, um," Ushio had almost missed the comment, and quickly replied, "th-that sounds good! I'll g-go with that, too."

Ushio's face was becoming very close to inventing new shades of "embarrassed red" at this point. Trying to say 'mistress' was a difficult hurdle, and Hiromi's teasing enquiries were not making it easier. Still fumbling over her words, the bashful could do little more than avert her eyes and try to regain control of her speech. Preferably before too many people took notice of her discomfort.

"No-no-nothing's wrong! I'm pe-perfectly fine!" she finally managed to blurt out, in a shamefully high-pitched squeak. Clamping her lips shut for a moment, she quietly shook her head and continued, "I-I don't need to rest... um, l-let's go now?"
the longer she stayed in one place, the more Ushio felt that the remaining students were looking at her. She didn't want any more embarrassment at the moment.

Ushio, nervously gripping the fabric of her school uniform, kept her eyes cast to the ground as Hiromi spoke. That stare was indeed quite concerning... but quickly proven to be a false alarm for Ushio's nervous disposition. As expected, her friend was not overly bothered by her time-keeping. Allowing herself a small, bashful smile, the pink-haired student quietly apologised once more.

"Y-yes, of course..." Ushio replied, almost whispering to Hiromi's statement. Her cheeks were practically burning, as was always the case when Ushio was referred to as a maid. Obviously, she wasn't ashamed of her position - on the contrary, Ushio was more than grateful! - but given she seemed to be the only maid in the entire school, it made her feel a little awkward sometimes. Still, she wasn't going to quit over that! She needed to be stronger!

Once more gathering a mite of couraqge, Ushio raised her voice slightly and continued, "Shall we go then, m-mis-muh-bluhh..."

Well, her bravery reserves were now thoroughly drained.

Isla did not reply to either query directed towards herself, instead preferring to direct her eyes to the margarita held in her hands. She was a terrible conversationalist, no doubt living up to her name. She stared at the drink until the meeting finally began, and her attention was directed towards the two Flame Haze initiating the meeting... and also the laptop she felt a strong urge to poke at until it did the things laptops did.

Still, she made sure to pay attention to what was said. This was kind of important, after all. And if there was one thing Isla was up for, it was slaying exceedingly dangerous Crimson Denizens. It didn't matter to the relatively-inexperienced Flame Haze just how powerful this Shitiri was, their sheer numbers would ensure victory for the righteous side! And Isla planned on inflicting the killing blow...

As the briefing came to a conclusion, however, a rather worrying event had occurred. Crows and thunder were not a good mix, regardless of your stance on superstition, and the timing was suspect. If this was supposed to be an open challenge, then Shitiri, or whoever sent the stupid bird, would have no right to complain when Isla tore them apart.

Well, it was best to cover all bases, at least. Setting her untouched drink onto the bar, Isla stepped towards the warehouses' exit. A quick survey of the perimeter would certainly set her mind more at ease, for now.

Where was the maid, indeed?

Normally, Ushio was very prompt on arriving after class. After all, she wasn't brave enough to hang around and risk her classmates striking conversation. That would be far too embarrassing and terrifying! However, as Ushio didn't want to constantly flee from her own classmates for little reason beyond 'kyaaaah too awkward', the pink-haired young lady decided to try something shocking and bold! ...Well, for her standards, at least.

Unfortunately, this had left her trapped in the bathroom for a while.

She had wanted to get changed as soon as possible, so changing her clothes in one of the stalls seemed like a quick enough destination to do so. Unfortunately, halfway through putting on the maid uniform she would wear for her friend, other students had entered the bathroom, loudly chatting to each other about trivial things. And simply did not stop.

What little courage Ushio had mustered towards wearing the maid uniform in public quickly eroded as she waited, completely still, for these students to leave. When they finally did, the trembling girl had slowly put her school uniform back on, maid outfit folded and replaced into her bag.

And now, nervously poking her head into the classroom that Hiromi was waiting inside of. There was hardly anyone else around, which was nice, but... she was so late now! The two girls had been around each other long enough that Ushio wasn't expecting to be yelled at, but...

Still trembling, the blushing girl slowly entered the classroom and stepped towards her employer/friend, stopping a few feet away and quietly murmuring her presence.

"S-sorry I'm la-late... um..."

Stating the reason for her tardiness was proving too embarrassing to do, and her explanation died immediately, Ushio watching the bigger girl bashfully.
