Settings:
⁃ At the entrance to the rooftop, Shin has returned to his normal appearance covered in sweat with a face that showed concern, irritation, and shock all at once.
⁃ Yukihime has fallen to her knees as she realizes the fight that had just occurred.
Dialogue:
Shin: ( Hand on forehead) “ What the hell are you doing here? Ugh, why couldn’t you just leave me alone for today?”
Yukihime: (Still in shock) “ W-what was.. (points towards the outside of the roof) a-and you too. Monsters with horns and claws and scales. What in the..?”
Shin: “Ughhh, forget it. Can you just pretend that you didn’t see anything and go back to the class? (Rubbing his head) God, what a pain in the ass.”
(Shin began to walk away and started to head to class. As he walks past Yukihime, she suddenly come back to her senses and rushes Shin.)
Yukihime: (Grabbing his shoulder) “ Wait wait wait! Are you really expecting me to pretend that I didn’t just see all that craziness just now? Who, no what were they…and what are you?”
Shin: (Deadpan face with his finger in his nose) “I’m a high school student who just likes to cosplay with strangers on the school roof. What else would I be?”
(A vein popped out of Yukihime’s head because of Shin’s response.)
Yukihime: (in her head) “This fucking prick!”
Shin: (sighs) “ Look, it’s best to just forget about it and go back to class, and to be honest it really has nothing to do with you.”
(Shin pushes Yukihime hand off of him and continued to walk to class with his hands in his pockets.)
Yukihime: (In her head) “What’s with him? Well whatever, if he won’t tell me what’s going on then I’ll just find out myself.”
(Shin returned to the classroom first and sit back at his desk.)
Shiro: “ Yo Shin, how are you feeling man? Did they give you anything to help?”
Shin: “Nah, turns out I just needed to take a shit.”
(Both Shiro and Ketsuki chuckled)
Ketsuki: “Gross dude. But I thought that new girl was with you, where did she go?”
Shin: (Annoyed)” Ugh, don’t remind me.”
Ketsuki: “ I really don’t get why you're so bent out of shape. If I were you, I would love the idea of a hottie like her following me around everywhere. (Under his breath) You lucky bastard.”
Shin: “Well if you want, you can have the crazy hottie that’s been following me.”
(Yukihime walked into the classroom. Both Yukihime and Shin looked at each other then turned away.)
(A week has gone by and Yukihime continued to watch Shin from a distance at school to see what she could find out but nothing new has occurred since that incident.)
Yukihime: (In her head) “ Why can’t I find out anything. I even asked his friends and they looked at me like I was crazy (having a flashback of asking them). Other than him being a perv, to everyone else he’s just a regular high schooler.”

(Yukihime looks at the clock to see that school was almost over.)
Yukihime: (In her head) “Another day goes by with no new information. Ughh, fine if I can’t anything else here then I’ll just have to try outside of school.”
(After the school bell rang, Yukihime hurries to leave the school)
Yukihime: (in her head) “I remember him mentioning something about a Granny during the fight on the roof. Maybe she can tell me something about what Shin is and what’s going on.”
(As Yukihime rushes to the school gate, she find Shin standing at the entrance as if he was waiting for something. Yukihime looked confused from seeing him at the entrance.)
Shin: “Took you long enough, did you plan on having me waiting out here forever for you?”
Yukihime: (Confused) “What do you mean? Why would you be waiting for me, did you plan on confessing to me?”
Shin: “ Yeah, no thanks. I tend to avoid the crazies, especially those that stalk me. The Granny told me that you would get so curious to the point that you would start to follow me home. Then when I told her how much of a pain in the ass you are she slugged me and told me to just bring you along.”
Yukihime: “Bring me along? To where?”
Shin: (Annoyed) “You wanted answers right? Then come on, we’re going to my place.”
Yukihime: (Surprised) “O-oh, ok then. (In her head) How did she know that I was gonna follow him? I just made up my mind on doing that.”
(After walking for a while, Shin and Yukihime arrived at Shin’s home. Shin opens the door.)
Shin: “ Hey, I’m home, Maria.”
(The sound of small footsteps started to come from up the stairs. A little girl with reddish-black hair and sliver grey eyes in a bright pink dress appeared.)
Maria: (Jumped on to Shin for a hug) “ Onii-chan!”
(Yukihime caught in a daze as she sees Maria and how adorably doll like she is)
Maria: (realizing Yukihime) “ Oh, I’m sorry for my rudeness. (Does a proper curtsy) My name is Maria, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”
Yukihime: (running to Maria to grab her) “ Oh my God, you are just so adorable-“
(Shin stops Yukihime with a hand to her face before she can grab Maria)
Shin: “ Now Maria, these are the kind of creeps that you have to always avoid ok?”
(Maria nods in agreement with her big brother)
Shin: “Say, Maria, do you know where the Granny is? She’s the one who told me to bring her here, the least she could’ve done was greet us at the door.”
Maria: (points to the backyard door) “I think she’s in the back right now.”
(Shin rubs Maria head saying thanks as they walk to the back door, as Shin opens the door he is met with a flying kick directly to his is face)
Sakura: “Who the hell are you calling a baggy old granny?!”
(Yukihime turns her head to see a beautiful woman with light violet hair with a somewhat exposed kimono with white and purple cherry blossoms patterns. She appeared to be drunk with a long bottle of sake in her hand.)
Shin: (As the smoke cleared, he sits up with a footprint on his face) “No one called you baggy you drunk hag!!”
(As he said that she jumped over to him to stomp in his face more.)
Sakura: (Stomping on Shin) “You call me that again and I’ll beat your face in.”
Shin: (Thinking) “ You can’t say that like your not doing that already.”
(While beating up Shin, she turns to Yukihime.)
Sakura: “Oh, who’s the cutie?”
Shin: “Don’t ask me that like your not the one who told me to bring her. (Getting up and rubbing his face) This is Yukihime, the nosey girl I told you about that won’t leave me alone.”
Yukihime: (Thinking to herself while blushing) “I AM NOT NOSEY!”
Sakura: “Oh yeah, the one who saw your fight because you were being reckless. (She said while punching him in the head again for the issue.) Well then let’s start with introductions. Hey, there my name is Sakura Blank, I’m the guardian of Maria and this little trouble maker. It’s a pleasure to meet you miss Yukihime (opens the door to go inside) let’s continue this convo inside shall we?”
(They all walked inside while Sakura drags in Shin by his collar. Yukihime sits down nervously as Sakura sits on the couch with her legs crossed exposing her thighs from part of her kimono.)
Sakura: “Maria, would you mind getting our guest some tea please?”
Maria: (Raising her hand) “Okay Oba-Chan.”
Sakura: “(gentle smile) Such a sweet girl. Now then Ms. Yukihime, I do want to make sure that I have a clear understanding of what happened so would you mind explaining to me what you saw that day?”
Yukihime: (Extremely nervous and scared of what could happen next) “O-of course ma’am.”
(As Yukihime explains the story, Sakura's face changed from a calm clear demeanor to one covered in sweat. At the end of the story, Shin could feel a demonic aura being pointed in his direction from Sakura’s anger.)
Sakura: (After a deep exhale) “Well, you definitely did see a lot more than I hoped you did. Oh, but please don’t think I blame you at all as that blame belongs to our local idiot. Now I know that you’re curious about what happened and to be honest, I think it’s better to just let you know everything and have you in our little circle than trying to keep a secret that you’ve already seen. Now please do keep in mind that everything that will be said has to remain a secret, meaning not even the closest people to you can ever know of this. Is that understood Yukihime?”
(Yukihime nods her head in agreement. Maria then brought the tea with Sakura picking it up to take a drink.)
Sakura: “Now let’s see, I guess it’s best to start with that. So Yukihime, do you remember those fairytale stories you would hear about fairies, unicorns, and dragons as a bedtime story?”
Yukihime: “Yeah, I’m pretty sure that everyone has when they were younger.”
Sakura:” Beautiful. So yeah…this idiot is a dragon.”
(Yukihime sits there with a blank stare on her face as slowly imagines a big ferocious red fire-breathing dragon.)
Yukihime: (coming back to reality) “EHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!”
