[Tokihaku Yume]

Yume followed her sempai or at this moment, guardian into the woody forest. Her neck was starting to feel numb because she can't seem to get herself to raise her head and look at her kind sempai who 'volunteered' or rather was volunteered to accompany her to pick flowers.

'Pick flowers... I don't really mind picking flowers, but I wonder if sempai has something better to do than be here.' Yume thought to herself as she stepped on another fallen leaf.

Seeing through the curtain of hair she willingly used to cover half her face, she clearly saw every distraction in her path so as not to trip.

[Akiko Eve]

A teacher had asked her to accompany a younger student into the woods. She didn't mind it though. She was far too tired to care what was happening anymore. She just met up with the girl and hardly glanced who she was actually accompanying. Sighing, she just looked around. The woods were dangerous and Mr. Bear could easily pounced on them.

She could hear the soft footsteps behind her and she turned her head to look at the younger student. She should be nicer to them. Eve just closed her eyes and said a silent prayer.

Smiling, she looked at the one behind her.

"Are you alright?" She asked, knowing it was not in her nature to be nice to others. Still..Her meeting with Sayo-chan has showed her how innocent the younger students were. She could be easier on them.

The walked down into the woods, Eve choosing the easier path. "What were the flowers we were asked to get?"

[Tokihaku Yume]

"Are you alright?" Yume's sempai kindly asked.

Yume nodded and murmured a soft 'hai.'

They still haven't started picking on flowers and she actually wondered why she needed a guardian just to get flowers. I mean aside from the fact that she easily got lost, there couldn't be anything dangerous in the forest could there? Or are they keeping any lions here?

Yume mentally shivered at the thought.

"What were the flowers we were asked to get?"

Yume raised her head momentarily forgetting herself. "Huh?"

"A-a... any type of wild flowers. Especially the pretty ones!"

'Wa! And I'm gonna bring home some for my pressed flower collection.' Yume smiled to herself.

[Akiko Eve]

"Huh?"

Eve blinked at her companion's reply.

"A-a... any type of wild flowers. Especially the pretty ones!" The younger girl suddenly added. Eve just smiled and looked forward. They were starting to get into the interior part fo the forest and she asked innocently.

"I didn't catch your name..My names is Everise Akiko..Please be free to call me Eve though."

She looked to her side, hearing a few elaves rustle. "Must be wary..." She thought to herself, her daggers at arm's reach.

[Tokihaku Yume]

(OOC: Gomen ne for taking so long... I got hooked to Black Jack...)

"I didn't catch your name..My names is Everise Akiko..Please be free to call me Eve though."

Yume nodded. "I'm Tokihaku Yume. Please call me Yume."

"Ara! Eve-sempai, look!" Yume excitedly pointed at a bush with orange blossoms. "Do you think Orihimi-sensei would like that?"

The flower had five pointy petals and the pistil was even of a lighter color than the petals.

'It looks so pretty! I hope sensei and sempai would like it' Yume skipped towards the bush and picked a blossom.

"See?" Yume smiled. "Kawai!"

[Akiko Eve]

"I'm Tokihaku Yume. Please call me Yume." Her companion replied in a soft voice. Eve just nodded and turned her head towards the direction they were going. Hopefully, Mr. Bear won't notice they were there at all. She just sighed, her ears perking up at the slightest sound.

"Ara! Eve-sempai, look!" Yume excitedly pointed at a bush with orange blossoms. "Do you think Orihimi-sensei would like that?"

Her gaze softened as she saw what Yume was pointing at. The flowers were beautiful, having a delicate orange color. Yume walked to the bush and took one.

"See?" Yume smiled. "Kawai!"

Eve nodded and placed a finger on her lips. "Sssh..Yume, try to keep quiet while we're here..It's dangerous around this area."

She looked around. "Let's try to find other flowers alright?"

[Tokihaku Yume]

"Sssh..Yume, try to keep quiet while we're here..It's dangerous around this area."

'Dangerous? Maybe, they're really keeping wild lions here... Of course not, this is a school! But still... Maybe, they need it for experiments...'

Yume just nodded and once again started walking. At times though, she sometimes pauses to pick out a flower or two until her arms were full of flowers.

Yume stopped walking as one of the flowers fell from her arm. "Um..."

'What do I do? If I pick it up then all the others will fall. How stupid of me not to bring a basket...'

Yume stared at the fallen flower. "Ano... sempai..."

(OOC: When is Mr. Bear coming in?)

[Akiko Eve]

She noticed Yume pick up a few flowers as they went deeper into the forest. Eve just smiled, picking a few herself and pocketing them in a small bag she had. They didn't want to go losing these now..

"Such innocence..." She thought, watching the other girl. "Don't worry..We will help you all.."

A few minutes passed and Eve turned, hearing Yume speak.

"Um..." The younger girl shyly said.

"Mmm?"

Her arms were full of flowers and a few dropped on the ground.

"Ano... sempai..."

Nodding, she walked towards the girl and bent down to pick the flowers that had fallen. She opened the small bag she brought and smiled.

"Place them here neh?"

A few leaves rustled and Eve eyed her surroundings.

"..Could it be...?"

[Mr. Bear]

It rarely ventured far from its little cottage, and such rare times were once for visiting its creator and leaving flowers on the ill boy's window sill. Such times were gone, though, and the only times it ever left its cottage was to gather wood.

Hefting a few chopped logs over one shoulder and an axe on the other, it halted as the foreign presence neared. Or maybe it wasn't just one.

One, two, who cares? Black, artificial eyes glinted, and then one of the logs went hurling into one of the humans' stomach.

[Tokihaku Yume]

Yume's sempai walked towards her and picked up the falling flowers and those in Yume's arms to put in a bag.

'Ara, I forgot, I have a bag...' Yume reached at her back when she noticed that she left her bag in the dormitory. 'I guess not...'

Yume then took her camera to take a picture of the flowers she was able to gather when suddenly, a few leaves rustled and her sempai was immediately on guard.

'Eh? What's happening?' Yume thought to herself holding her camera just right in front of her.

Then a log came flying right at her stomach breaking her camera into pieces and throwing her against a tree. She should've been able to avoid it if only she wasn't too surprised to see a teady bear walking on its feet.

'A robot?'

Just then, she remembered her broken camera and her eyebrows furrowed.

That! Is my second camera in just a few weeks here in Alice Gakuen. Don't tell me it's broken again!

She glared at the little robot tears starting to form on her face because of her anger.

Around her, the air started moving, at first slowly, then faster by each moment, carrying along with it twigs, fallen leaves, soil and other materials. Wind was madly circling closely around her.

[Akiko Eve]

Yume was thrown at a tree by a log. Eve turned around, preparing to bring out her daggers. This was her only defense at the moment but she knew better than to try and destroy the stuff toy..

No matter how much it wanted to hurt them.

"Tch'd.." She muttered, as she spotted that maniacal bear. She rushed to Yume and checked the younger girl.

"Yume..Are you alright..?"

She noted a broken camera on the floor and looked at the younger student.

"Yume..?"

The air around them was starting to react, growing faster and more violent with each passing second. Soon twigs, leaves and even soil was caught in the current and Eve backed away.

"Yume!!"

This wasn't good. She had to calm the girl fast and get her out of here.

[Tokihaku Yume]

Yume stepped nearer to teddy bear.

"Who does it think is it! It's just a piece of device!"

She was certainly fuming and all thoughts of how Eve-sempai would see her vanished from her mind.

"YOU ARE GOING TO--" she half-shouted to Mr. Bear.

Yume suddenly tripped on a piece of log and fell face forward.

'Pay' was left unsaid. And all that was heard was a loud scream.

"ITAI!!!!!!!!!!" echoed through the whole forest.
