Hinoe and Nyanko-sensei stayed silent.

Nyanko-sensei suddenly decided to
turn into his white beast form.
Until Hinoe noticed the girl is waking up.

"Oh, she's waking up."

Her eyes adjusts to the light,
before the eyes fully opened.
As Hinoe noticed,
the girl starts to move.

"Are you okay girl?"

The girl looks at Hinoe,
and she blushes.

"I'm okay.."

She whispered out.

"Well at least Natsume will be relieved."

Her face then changed.

She started to move,
and attempted to seat up.

"I would like to advise you--"

She partically ignore that,
and used her right arm to support her.
When her shoulder shot up pains.

"--to not get up."

She hisses lightly,
as she fell back to the futon.

"Well, I've warned you."

It seems that she's starting to tear up.

"Geez, Madara.
You shouldn't just say something.
You should help her!"

She started to look around,
before trying to sit up again.

"Geez, such a handful brat."

Madara used his head to help
the girl sat up.

"W-Woah-"

She yelped out in surprise.

She then looked around.
She remember the help earlier

and quickly turned backway,

"U-Uh, thank you-!"

She said.

"T-Thank you.."

She stated once again,
as she realised it's the same beast
who saved her.
He replies with grunts,
and shifted his face to the other way.

"Ara ara, are you blushing Madara?"

Hinoe teased.

"Shut it, Hinoe."

Madara grunts.

The girl then giggled.

"I'm back."

The door slides open,
revealing Natsume.

"Welcome back Natsume!
The girl is already conscious."

Natsume seems to be very relieved.

"I'm glad..
Thanks Hinoe, Nyanko-sensei."

He smiled softly.
Revealing how he's really glad.

"I-I'm sorry for making troubles.."

The three of them
seems to be surprised at the sudden apologise.

She look downwards,
then gasped a few times.

Natsume looks at her.

"H-Hey, are you okay?"

Tears forms,
along with the gasps.

"I'm sorry..
I'm sorry..."

She mumble while
drawing her hand closer.
Her hand closes her ear.

"I'm sorry.."

She then curls in and sobbed.

Natsume freezes on spot.
He's unsure of what he should do.

"I-"

Suddenly the window broke,
and a shadow jumps inside.
Right infront of the girl.

"Ssshh... It'll be fine, young master."
