"Hey, Akane." Haruhi spoke first. "What were you doing in the infirmary in the first place?"
"Oh, um... I got a piece of glass wedged into my skin." I show the bandages.
"Are you serious?!" Hikaru exclaims.
"We are so sorry! We were acting like idiots..." Haruhi says with guilt.
"No no no! It's fine, really!" I wave my hands, despite the pain. "Kaoru extracted the glass for me. He's treating it again tonight..." I trail off.
"Hm? D'you say something...?" Kaoru yawns and rubs his eyes like a little kid, reminding me of Chirou when he was younger.
"You two are a thing." Tamaki states so simply, you could've knocked me over.
"Eh? Really?" Haruhi says in alarm.
"Oh Haruhi, you're soo behind." Hikaru puts his elbow on Haruhi's shoulder.
"W-what?! Seriously?" Haruhi sighs, but then frowns. "It hasn't been a week since you guys even--"
"Hush Haruhi! It's beautiful! Long story, but beautiful!" Hikaru says in appraise.
"Oh, give me a break." Haruhi shrugs him off, then faces me and Kaoru which we were just sitting there, watching the conversation fly.
"Well, whatever. Congrats you two."
"
Kaoru rubs my uninjured arm, trying to soothe me from the glass extraction a few minutes ago.
"Are you really okay?" He asks softly.
"Yeah, I'm fine." My voice trembles. "Don't worry about it." I look down at the yellow silk of my uniform.
"It's a good thing the uniforms here are long sleeved. I'm sure people wouldn't want to see this." I say, trying to forget those horrible few minutes.
"Yeah..." I feel Kaoru's eyes on me. He grips my arm tighter and I felt a bit of pressure on the bandages I wore. I look up to see Kaoru kissing them.

"Kaoru..." He looks up at me and without a word, pressed his lips against mine into a warm kiss.
When Kaoru pulled away, he laid me down on the infirmary bed, then laid on the other side.
"After school, I'll swing by your place to treat it again. Okay?" He wraps his arms around me. I turn so I face him, lucky that my hurt arm wasn't sandwiched between me and the mattress.
"That's fine." I breathe. And soon, I dozed off in his embrace.

8 81Soul of the Warrior
In a world where Classes, Stats, and Levels are the everyday norm, Reivyn has a secret. He was unusually aware of his surroundings from an incredibly early age, and Skills and Stats were acquired easily. He was just the son of an ordinary village family, and nothing appeared out of the ordinary on the surface. But below the surface, dreams of another life help shape his mentality and growth. Why does he have some remembrance of a past life, and what is his purpose in this new one? "Soul of the Warrior" is what I call a Semi-Isekai LitRPG. I say "semi," because Reivyn's past life is remembered like a dream, and very incomplete. It is still Isekai, though, as he remembers enough that it directly shapes his personality and his sense of self. The System that governs the world of "Soul of the Warrior" is a combination of modified versions from Selkie's "Beneath the Dragoneye Moons" and Kosnik4's "Magic Smithing." I have changed enough of these Systems and combined them in a way that is unique that I'm mostly sure it's fine, but I still have requested permission to use these ideas. They have both graciously granted me permission. Winner of the April Writathon Challenge. Release Schedule is Mon, Wed, Fri on Royal Road.
