Kaede felt a surge of irritation as she considered her team of White Kampfer. The group of women looked sheepish under her gaze, not wanting to meet her eyes. "Who said you could attack Nao and Shizuku?" she demanded coldly.
Sayaka met her eyes nervously as the sword using woman said, "I'm sorry, mistress. I thought you would approve of our removing them."
"Shizuku is my friend, despite everything that has happened," Kaede said frostily. "I don't want to see her hurt unnecessarily."
"Sorry, mistress," Ryouka said timidly, the other White Kampfer looking deeply embarrassed by the whole situation.
Kaede sighed, wishing she had troops equal to the other Kampfers. Still, you had to make do with what you had. "Don't attack them for a few days," she said, "the school festival is coming up, and we'll all be occupied with that." Wryly she added, "Maybe after a break we'll be able to get at Natsuru easier, too."
"Yes ma'am," Rika Ueda said, the chain sickle user having popped up from nowhere the younger girl's long pink hair making her stand out.
"Ack!" Ryouka yelped in alarm. "Don't DO that!"
"Sorry," Rika shrugged mildly, even as the fourth White Kampfer, Hitomi Minagawa, lounged around in the background.
"All right everyone, settle down," Kaede said. She looked at Hitomi, the unofficial leader of her Kampfers as she ordered, "No more unauthorized attacks, got it?"
Hitomi nodded, the green haired magic user meeting her eyes coolly. "Not even if we can knock off that annoying Akane or Mikoto?" she asked impishly.
"Not even then," Kaede said to her firmly. She smiled as she mused, 'Besides, I have... plans for all the girls, this time.'

"We're doing WHAT?" Nao Yuuki growled as she glared at her classmates.
Several members cringed, but a young woman spoke up. "The cosplay fashion show is held every year," she said, "I thought you knew."
"No, I did NOT know." Nao sighed, having only seen the notice as she was coming into school. "Why the heck am I entered in it?" she demanded.
Another girl offered, "I think the student council makes that decision, choosing from the most popular students..."
"Shizuku," Nao growled, instantly knowing who had entered her. Probably did it just for the amusement value.
"Well, the official notice has the time and place for the meeting and such," the other girl also pointed out reasonably.
"The Student Council offices. Of course," Nao sighed as she crumpled up the notice and stalked off irritably.
"She's so cute when she's angry," the class president sighed once Nao left. She looked at her VP, "Has anyone told her we're doing a maid cafe for the festival?"
"I seem to have forgotten to do that." she said innocently.
The President grinned, "Boy is she gonna be startled."
Unaware of her classmates plotting, Nao headed down the hallway while doing her best to ignore her fans. She was STILL getting love letters stuffed in her locker! Even after being as grouchy as possible to any girls trying to ask her out. You'd think SOMEONE would take the hint.
Nao blinked as she saw a familiar figure waiting out in the hall by the doorway. "You too, Natsuru?" she asked.
Natsuru smiled a bit sheepishly, the busty blue haired girl standing by the door. "Yeah, I did this last year too," she conceded.
Nao smirked as she drawled, "Enjoyed hanging out with the girls in the changing room?"
"Yes," Natsuru started then blushed, "no! I mean..."
Nao snickered as she saw another familiar figure walking up. "You too?" she asked her sister Akane with a wry smile.
"This is just too embarrassing," Akane sighed.
"Think Shizuku set this up?" Natsuru asked the others curiously, then stiffened visibly.
Nao turned to see one of the White Kampfer walking up, the slightly tomboyish one who fired energy bolts. "What are YOU doing here," Nao started then blinked as she added, "What the hell IS your name anyway?"
"Hitomi Minagawa!" she growled. A bit more plaintively she added, "Did no one think to tell you who I was?"
"I forgot," Akane shrugged while Natsuru looked embarrassed.
"Oy," Hitomi growled, shaking her head.
"Don't tell me we're all involved in this fashion show?" Natsuru asked plaintively.
Just then the door to the office opened, revealing a smiling Shizuku. And worryingly, a smiling KAEDE too. "Ah, you're here," Shizuku said breezily, "come in, the others are waiting."
"Others?" Nao asked as they headed in.
The usually empty student council room had several girls, most of whom Nao didn't recognize. Worryingly Mikoto was already there, as were two of the other White Kampfer. The two, it should be noted, who tried to whack her and Shizuku just a few days ago. Sadly with the normal students around there wasn't much they could DO about it.
"Do we HAVE to do this?" Sayaka asked, echoing what Nao was thinking earlier.
Kaede gave her a look that amounted to a non-verbal 'shut up'. "You were all nominated by your classes, and it would be cruel to refuse them," she added mildly.
"Not that you or Shizuku had any influence at all on the decision of who got picked." Nao noted dryly.
Kaede looked at her innocently, "Would we do that?"
ALL the Kampfers rolled their eyes at that. Both Kaede and Shizuku ignored the unspoken commentary while the other kids just looked confused. Shizuku also looked amused as she continued, "We'll be having each of you wear three costumes, a swimsuit, dress and formal wear. They will be fitted by the theatre department, who will also provide the cosplay element."
"Uhm, how extreme will the cosplay get?" Akane had to ask.
"Well, we want to attract kids from other schools to apply here," Kaede shrugged.
"Oh no," Ryouka whimpered softly
Nao was tempted to refuse to join in, but she just knew Shizuku would get her to do it somehow. The woman had a knack for manipulating people.
"Also, I'll be handing out plushies from the popular Entrail Animals collection after the contest," Kaede added with a smile.
Nao blinked as Natsuru, Akane and Shizuku visibly stiffened at THAT. Obviously, it was not a good thing. But why?
"All right everyone, here are the schedules for rehearsals," Shizuku said briskly, "now I think we all need to get back to class."
Before they could leave the green haired White Kampfer strode up. "We're going to have to work together for this," Hitomi said briskly, "no hard feelings?"
"Why you...!" Akane switched to Kampfer mode in a instant, the redhead lunging at her.
"Whoa, slugger!" Nao grabbed her half sister and kept her from doing something rash.
"I wanna cap the bitch," Akane growled, sounding more like Nao than usual.
"Akane, no," Nao said, then had a flash of brilliance, "you cap her, you go to jail and who gets to protect Natsuru?"
Akane relaxed a bit as she grumbled, "Now that's just playing dirty."
"Thanks," Hitomi said to Nao.
"Yeah, yeah," Nao waved that off, "keep your buddies under control and I'll try to keep mine. Fair enough?"
"Got it," Hitomi walked off to rejoin her companions.
They headed out together, knowing that Shizuku would be tied up with all the Student Council work for a bit. "Why did you all react when Kaede said she was going to pass out plushies?" Nao asked.
"That's where the White Kampfers came from," Mikoto told her grimly. "Do you think Kaede has decided it's time to get reinforcements?"
"Oh you have got to be kidding me," Nao groaned. "What, she wants the harem set now? She already has a tomboy, tsundere and moe."
"And the loli with the sickle," Natsuru noted with some amusement.
"Could you please take this seriously?" Akane asked, thankfully no longer in Kampfer mode and no longer swearing up a storm.
"It's laugh or freak out," Natsuru said with a sigh.
"Can we just stop her from handing them out?" Nao asked reasonably. "One of us could either wreck them or hide 'em before she can pass them on."
"Could work," Mikoto admitted. She nodded thoughtfully, "We'll have to see how things go, of course, but I like it."
"Better tell Shizuku too," Akane said, "she looked as surprised as anyone over that announcement."
"Well, I need to get to class," Nao said reluctantly, "if only to find out what other trouble my classmates have gotten me into."
As they watched Nao trot off Mikoto asked the others, "Think she's heard about her class's maid cafe yet?"
"I haven't heard her scream in rage yet, so I'd guess no," Natsuru smiled.
