It was so cold in the coffin that it made Ayano's bandaged hands numb from her fingertips to her palm. What made this situation even worse was that she was not wearing her usual black stockings, her slender legs were bare and easily vulnerable to the chilling cold of the coffin.  

It took a Ayano a few moments to accept the unbelievable circumstances bestowed on her. The delinquents must have buried her while she was unconscious. She wondered how long would it be until she ran out of air in this buried prison, and when the hallucinations would kick in.

"Damn it, damn it all!" Ayano hisses through her teeth as she claws at the top of the coffin. There was no way to get out and even if she did, she would mostly likely be covered in six feet of cold, solid dirt. A very gruesome way to go.

Before Ayano could even debate on what to do next, a soft groan was heard to her left. Ayano jumps a bit but immediately acknowledges that she was not alone in this coffin. There to her left was no other than the dark silhouette of the Martial Arts Leader, Budo Masuta who laid beside her with a purple bruise on his forehead. In her panic she did not recognize that Budo was here with her nor did her vision had adjusted to the darkness of their coffin yet. The mind could do such wonders when in complete panic that it could totally throw off a person's most reliable five senses.

"Masuta-kun!" Ayano forces herself to turn to her side so she could face him. With both hands she grabs a hold of his shoulders and shakes him. "Masuta-kun!!" Ayano calls out to him again.

Upon hearing his name called in a very small space, Budo's eyes shot open in surprise.

"Ah, Aya-" Before Budo could finish his sentence his head hits the top of the coffin as he had tried to sit up. Budo fell back into his laying position and stared up at the coffin confused.

"W-What..where...?" Budo was at a loss of words as his hand slowly touches the top of the coffin again trying to decipher what was going on here.

"We've...been buried alive...by the delinquents" Ayano replies as she stares at the shocked expression forming on Budo's face.

"No..No that can't be!" Budo says with chills running down his spine. His widen charcoal eyes danced around the small coffin's interior to see that there were indeed walls surrounding them with little to no room. It was like something from a horror movie.

"Masuta-kun..." Ayano says softly as she could see he was still having a hard time believing this.
She gently brought her hand to the side of his face and turns his head to her.

"Ayano....?" Budo's eyes had stopped scanning the room and looked at her.

"You need to calm down..." Ayano says as her hand slips away from his face. "...Help will come...so don't be scared..." She looked at him with a calm expression on her face and Budo takes a deep breath and tries to relax. Once Ayano noticed this, she gives him a small smile. 

"...Ayano..." Budo gave her a weary smile. Those were suppose to be his lines, but he guessed being buried alive in this situation caught him off guard and who could blame him. He was glad that Ayano was with him, he wouldn't know what to do if he was alone in this dark coffin.

"It would only be a matter of hours before all the air in this coffin is gone.." Ayano says as she stares at the top of the coffin. "With the both of us in it...maybe less."

"...Tch, who knew those delinquents would go far." Budo mutters under his breath as he angrily hits the side of the coffin. "Ow..."

"Don't act rash, we're not fully healed from last night." Ayano says as she stares at her own damaged hands.
