“Kyoko, over
here!”
She stopped dead
in her tracks and looked over her shoulder. That had been Urufu's
voice, but with an edge to it she had never heard before.
“Get four guys
from 9:1 to the back gates! I need their cell phone numbers as well.
Amaya's on her way and Kondo-sensei is already waiting there. I'll
instruct you later.”
Kyoko watched
Urufu's vanishing back and felt the unfamiliar weight of the
communications device he had slapped into her hand. Thinking back she
had heard him sounding something similar to this during their
extended stay at the holiday resort, but only similar. His voice this
time carried a tone of absolute command that had to be obeyed
immediately.
She made her way
back up the stairs and went for Himekaizen's newest addition to its
number of classrooms. If Urufu had such a desperate need of four
students by the back gates he would receive them there.
When the door
slid open she looked inside and recognised a few faces who helped out
with patrolling the school the previous night. While that night made
her all fuzzy and warm inside now wasn't the time to linger on those
memories.
“You, you, you
and you, follow me!”
The good thing
with the students recently transferred from Red Rose was that they
always obeyed without asking. The bad thing, that they obeyed without
asking. It scared her a little.
