Second Floor Ambush

*Analise's POV*

The looks he has been giving me since we arrived down here on the second floor have been creeping me out. Luckily, I have my trusted guard and best friend, Shirone Asuga, who was nearby, and I could always rely on her.

{I totally didn't know Asuga meant what it does in Japanese. I was trying to make a name that sounded nice. And then I looked up if it meant anything and to my surprise, it fit perfectly...}

Her family has guarded mine from the shadows for years. Lately, our relations with the Asuga Clan have been a bit strained due to some extenuating circumstances. But right now, I know I can rely on her to save me from these people even if something untoward happens.
