Side Story: Shiina's Underwear


Shiina Natsumoto was all alone in the wilderness. A lone wolf howled and she padded faster, pulling her kimono tightly around her, shivering in the bone chilling night air. As the young seer crept closer to the gate, the clouds parted to reveal the sparkling silver moon. When lead inside by a cloaked figure, the girl straightened up and looked around at the tall castle of the magic school that towered in front of her. No doubt about it, this was Lyreade.

Shiina Natsumoto was no longer alone. At least not that much. She had a school, classmates, but no true friends. Considering her cool nature, it was no surprise to her that she was sorted into the Dracoslyther house, where the dark wizards and witches sprung from. But she was lonely. No longer could she see the smiling face of her brother, Taki, nor the one of her sister. Well, even if she had stayed it wouldn't have mattered. Her sister was dead. But she did still miss Taki very dearly. Walking through the corridor, she found herself alone, no longer with any family to be with her.

In the Great Hall, things were no different. Shiina sat by herself at the Dracoslyther table, slowly eating, then disappearing away, either to the library or the common room. One day was different. Professor Knapp, the headmistress, stood at the front of the school, looking at all of the students. 'Students of Lyreade,' the professor slowly said. 'Someone found this in the corridor yesterday. Is it anyone's?' Shiina's head snapped up. Professor Knapp was holding a pair of  white underwear, with a cute shojou anime character stitched on the back. Her face turned red and she lunged forward. 'THAT'S MINE!!!!'
