Shadow on the tall tree.

"Hey.. Hey what's with that look? My intention is clean." Noah even lift his both hands then suddenly become serious. "Look Kenji I know you're just worried about her. I'm so damn serious when I said I want to marry her. And I'm willing to wait for her until she's in the right age."

Kenji didn't answer. It's been two years when Noah said this to them. Until now he didn't see him make his move to her sister. Did he think his sister will just say yes to him? Did he think that Yui is just like those girls easily swoon by his good looks? But Noah impressed him when all these past two years he had never heard of him dating someone again nor heard about him having a girlfriend.

Kenji just sigh on him. "Fine. Just look after her will you? She's under your supervision anyway. Watch what you called her here. Call her baby girl or little Yui and I'm sure she never talk to you anymore." With that they made their way to the open field.

The first quarter of her freshman went out really smooth. Although sometimes Yui felt someone is watching her all the time. Like now. After a long hours of nonstop drill exercises under the sun. She felt so sticky and her clothes are soaked with her sweat. She and her new friend Jurie decided to use one of the bathrooms to take a quick shower.

Jurie first made her way to the shower while she's still removing her combat boots. She's about to take off her shirt when suddenly the window closed with a bang.

"Is anyone there?!!!" She shout asking.

When no one answered Yui grab her pocket knife and look over the window. She didn't see anyone. Thinking that it might be just the wind she continue removing her clothes and hit the shower.

She's in the middle of cleaning her body when Jurie called her.

"Hey Yui.!!. Need to go back for a bit. I forgot my watch on the drill site. Can you stand alone here?!!"

"Sure!!.. No problem!. I'm almost done anyway!."

"Great!! I'll be back in a minute or two."

Before she can answer she already heard the door closed.

She's done changing into fresh shirt and pants when she heard the commotion outside not too far from where she is. Then suddenly she heard her brother's stern voice. She immediately pack up all her things and made her way outside before her brother caught her. Kenji always told her not to use any public bathrooms just to change or even take a quick bath. But she can't help it. And besides she's not alone. Although Jurie already gone ahead first.

She peek outside first. Great! That's really her brother and he's with her Instructor Han! Good thing they're facing their back on her way. They're like they're interrogating/scalding those three young men whose wearing the same uniform as her. They are extremely wet. She can see from where she is the water running down from them to the ground. She wondered what happened to them.

She tiptoed her way out there. Trying her best to move quietly. But to her dismay her brother sense someone's moving behind his back. Too late to hide when her brother turned around and saw her.

"Cadette Sato?? What are you doing here?!!" Yui felt her heart stop beating. Her brother asked her without any reserve like they really don't know each other.

"I… I.." She stammer. She can't lie to him this time because her hair is still dripping. Proof that she just finished taking a shower.

"I can't hear you!!!" He said with an authority of a real commander.

She stands straight and answer him trying not to choke on her own words because of her nervous. "Sir!! I just finished taking a shower Sir!!" She use to tell him the truth than to lie then face more consequences.

"I can see that!!" He glare on her. "Aren't you aware of the fact that you are using a public bathroom where anyone can get inside anytime? And still use it like you're the only person here. And alone huh. I can see how bold and daring you are Cadette Sato!" Yui can feel her brother is trying to control his anger.

"Permission to speak Sir but I'm not alone Sir!!" Being stubborn she never claimed to be defeated.

"Really? Then where is that someone?"

Yui stunned. She's going to dragged Jurie if she revealed that she's with her. And Jurie is under her brother's supervision.

When Yui didn't answer Kenji already knew she will never reveal that she's with Jurie which he already knew because he saw them always together.

"Run ten laps, fifteen push up and twenty sit ups. That's a punishment!! Any objection?!!"

Yui wants to groaned but she holds herself. "No Sir no!!"

"Good now go!!"

Yui quickly get away from there.

It's almost lunch time and Kenji can't see his sister anywhere. He just saw her with her new friend a while ago and yet now he can't find her.

"it's almost lunch time. Are you going to eat at the canteen or your heading home with Yui for lunch?" Noah approached him. "Speaking of Yui. Where is she?"

"I was about to ask you. You're her Instructor."

"I just saw her a minute ago finishing their task."

Kenji look around again. When he can't still see her, he decided to walk around. Noah quickly follow him. He didn't know if he can call it instinct or what. They're walking around looking for her for almost half an hour now when Kenji's eyes saw something on the tall tree. Under it is one of the public bathroom in that campus but that bathroom has been deserted for he don't know what reason.

Kenji tried to focus his eyes on the shadow hiding on those thick branches and leaves of the three. Something fall down from above that made a sparkling light because of the sun. His eyes follow it as it landed on the group of three students gathering around on the bathroom under the tall tree. The three students froze as that object landed on them. They immediately run away from that place.

He still observing the tree student when he saw them like their having fun looking at something on their phone. Giggle while looking back at the bathroom occasionally then giggle again like they saw their crush or something.

He immediately approached them followed by Noah behind him. This kid are under his class. They are all son of the former military officials. Who get their spot on her class because of their family influences. Looks like they didn't hear them coming as their still busy on their phones.

"Looks like we're having a good time here boys? Care to tell us what happened to the three of you?" He quickly snatched the phone on their hand. "Phones are not allowed during school hours. Who owns this?" He asked sternly.

The three students are still shock on their sudden appearance. They don't know what to say and how to react. Noah took the phone on his hand.

"Let's see what's fun in here." Noah said with a teasing smile on his face. Thinking that maybe this students are just watching some porn or something. But his smile quickly fade away when he saw what they're really looking at. His eyes became sharp and dangerous.
