Shirley picks up her black underwear and pulls them up. Stopping the flow of liquid from her opening. If Leon's little brother hadn't just fought some tough battles he would be ready to wage war once more seeing the thin stream of white on her caramel thighs.
Having put the rest of her clothing on now, she happily strides behind Leon as the duo leave the room.
"So where are we going now boss?"
'Am I 'boss' now' dwelling on the question he replies late. "To find some help."
"Very well" hearing his words she faithfully follows him from behind.
As they exit the dorm, Leon notes the rough time. 'It must be early morning' with the sun not yet awake, darkness swallows them. They walk on for some time, as Shirley darts her eyes back and forth, keeping herself aware of any possible attack.
Eventually they reach their destination.
"Go inside and wait, I should be back within half an hour" pointing at the training room in front of them.
Obeying, she quickly brings herself inside.
'Now for the help' Leon sighs deeply, racking his brain for any useful information.
Arriving at the girls dorm, Leon remembers that the second years generally stay on 3rd floor of the building.
Sneaking past the guards he makes it up the staircase.
Walking past the doors a slight amount of the tension releases. 'Good they have names on the doors.'
Continuing down the hall, he stops at the plaque, Elise Serpent was engraved on it.
"Nice, she doesn't share her room" Leon murmurs, raising his hand. With a weak touch, he knocks on the door. Making sure he doesn't alert anyone else.
"Elise, its Leon" he whispers through the door.
"Leon?" inside a sleepy mumble originates from the room.
"Yes, its Leon" he calls back.
Soon a feminine figure opens the door, wearing slightly baggy nightwear.
"Leon what brings you here at this time" she sleepily asks.
"I came to ask, can you please help me with something."
"Alright, I will see if I can. Just let me get dressed."
Closing the door, Leon hears the ruffle of clothing moving around. He stands and waits outside until she is done. Reopening the door, she follows his lead, now dressed in her usual pants and shirt.
As the training hall comes into view, Elise begins to think. 'Was the problem something to do with training. The smell of sweat is quite heavy on him.' With slight confusion on the what the problem could be she enters the building.
"Shirley where are you?" he calls out.
"I'm in here" a voice answers from inside the room.
'Shirley' hearing the name Elise has her mouth twitch instinctively walking in first.
As Leon enters, Elise suddenly shouts.
"Monster."
With only Shirley in the room, Leon quickly replies "no!" somewhat taken back by her designation of the woman. "This is Shirley" he follows up with.
"Giving it a name doesn't change that they're a monster" annoyed figuring out whatever he is about to ask has to do with this woman, she harshly jabs.
"Oh, jealous are you?" not wanting to be the loser of the exchange she speaks up
"What do you mean 'jealous?'" replying back with a shout.
"That your man has been taken"
"What?" her comment lights the fire of rage within Elise.
'Has this bitch been flirting with Leon?' the thought whirs through her.
"He filled me right up" bringing her hands to her womb for affect.
"Oh" at Elise's realisation, Shirley is sent backwards at great speed. The water cannon released by Elise causes Shirley's body to be buried into the wall.
Pulling herself out of the debris, Shirley smiles. 'I feel so powerful, is this what it is like to have a man.' With great strength, she launches herself up. Landing on the roof with her feet, her eyes meet with Elise.
Boom.
At an incredible speed she shuttles towards Elise, bits flying everywhere from the shattered roof.
'Fast' reacting quickly, Elise creates a barrier diverting her path and jumps further out the way.
'I need range her speed greatly outmatches mine' Elise determines.
Not wanting to give her a chance to close the distance, she continuously fires water projectiles.
"You think you can run?" Shirley gloats.
"Stop it you two" Leon is put in a daze, with the suddenness. 'How did this blow up into a fight?'
Elise quickly produces a dome of water.
'The best way to deal with speed is slow them down and predict their path, with this I can do both.'
Shirley seeing the wall of water begins to circle it at a great pace.
'What happens when I strike it?' hitting it with her hands she watches as a thin powerful ray of water strikes the point she hit.
'Ugh, she evaded, I need to be faster. On the next one I will hit her for sure' Elise decides.
Shirley had other plans. Activating her gem, claws grew on her hand. Now even faster, she dashes around the water.
'They're, not there. What is happening?' Elise could help but panic. Her barrier first read one and then a few readings. Now there was hundreds of different locations being attacked this second. Unable to even process the number she became a sitting duck.
"Now" with breathtaking speed, she dashed down from the ceiling.
'I have you now, the pierced barrier slowing down her speed, yet she was already upon Elise.
"No" the split second the barrier was broken Elise only had one option. Using her second gems magic, she vanished instantly.
Appearing at the other end of the hall at the same time, her appearance flushed with worry and fatigue.
Shirley scans the room, finding her. She pounces again.
"Ahh" having to activate her magic again she disappears.
"I need to make a counter attack, gathering up her magic, she vanishes one last time.
'She can teleport?' Shirley having understood her ability after the second time, had thought up her plan.
When she appears again I will move faster than her eyes can handle.
'I must act quickly' having woken from his daze seconds later, he had
seen how serious it had become. Elise had activated her magic and both
were radiating with power. 'I will predict the location and dash there'
with his need, power built in his legs.
With that the next moment Elise appeared, her powerful attack charged, the two were right next to each other. Each ready to deal a final blow.
Leon quickly steps between them grabbing the right hands of both. "Enough!" his voice loud and stern makes them release their magic.
With them eventually settling down Leon asks Shirley to fully explain what has been happening and her current predicament.
Shirley explains the existence of night class, what they were doing and the trouble she was currently in.
"Then Leon, what you're asking is that the Serpent family investigates and" she pauses as she thinks of the right word "protects these 'fellow students'."
"Yes, it that possible?" Leon asks with some worry. He wasn't sure whether her family could do something about the situation.
"I believe so, but" Elise brings her hand to her cheek as she speaks.
"But?"
"This is far more than what I agreed to when I said 'ask for my help any time'" emphasising the difficult task before she continues."Therefore I want something in return."
"Name it" he answers in a serious tone. Leon having already given his word, would do anything to keep it.
"How about you head to my home this weekend?" feeling this was the perfect chance to bring him into her family.
"Sorry, I already agreed to head to a ball" he remorsefully answers.
'Is there another woman trying to sink her teeth into him?' Inside her head she begins to angrily rant. 'I will need to remove this competitor.'
"Then is next weekend alright?" she answers cheerfully, at great disparity to her inner turmoils.
"Yes, that's fine."
"Then we have an agreement."

Sorry about the lateness. There should be a chapter tonight as well. Also, nobody has commented yet. Are you all shy or is nobody reading these?
