Shinku leaned back in her chair and relaxed as the Professor entered the room with Ms. Sasaki.  They were an. . . Interesting duo, to say the least.  They didn't seem like bad people, just a little tired, irritable and, um, hungover.  Then he told the boy next to her, the transfer student, to introduce himself.  "I guess that explains it a bit."  As he introduced himself, Shinku just looked around the room at the other students.  To her surprise, her dormmate was there.  "Oh my, Ito." She whispered to herself.  

As the transfer student seated himself again Shinku nodded his way, "Sucks to transfer on your third year.  Well, last year anyway, so it's almost time for. . . Ugh, exams."  After that she stayed fairly quiet otherwise paying attention to the teachers until they left.

The forest wasn't the best thing in Shinku's book.  It could be sticky and dirty.  There were bugs and ughh. As they reached a hole that the Professor called "Strange Geographical Phenomena," Shinku worried someone might fall down the black hole in the ground.  "Looks dangerous."  Shinku said before turning around and setting what she was carrying down.  Then she heard shuffling of feet behind her. . . The woman, Sasaki, was being grabbed by something that could best be described as coming out of a supernatural story.  "Hey, hey, hey!"  She cried out as she dashed forward to assist.  Of course, even with the help of everyone, they all fell into the hole. . . Into the dark. . .

Then, she woke.  "Ugh, someone get the number of that truck?"  Her head was spinning a bit then she heard the transfer student ask if there were any injuries.  "Just a bit of a spinning head."  That was when she heard one of the foreign boys speak up.  He was right, it was amazing how calm the transfer student was in this situation.  Then in the distance she saw. . . Something.  Something moving out with Ms. Sasaki's body. Hopefully she was just unconcious. 

Then, one of the others had. . . As he put it an "outburst".  It was amazing that he was willing to go after her.  Not that Shinku could leave her to rot out here anyhow.  "Hey, what was your name again? Saito Keiichi?  I'm coming with ya'. As you said, 'It could be dangerous.'"  From her pockets she pulled out some wraps and started, well, wrapping them around her hands as she made her way up to Saito.
