<em>Yes, we've got her!</em>, Kaneda thinks as he begins pulling his fellow student through... Just as quickly it turns to...<em>no! too much force</em>, as Kaito takes her other arm. The two of them go toppling down, Kaito letting go just in time.<br/><br/>It takes a moment for Kaneda to realize that he is lying on his back, with the young woman on top of him...<em>Is that... Nozomi Yoshi!</em>His eyes widen, and his face and arms flush near to the color of the blood covering parts of them. To dumbfounded to speak, he sits, near dazed. Then so suddenly, she embraces him. He can only wrap his arms around her almost awkwardly, and flush even deeper as she whispers her thanks into his ear.<strong>"Um... um... right, your welcome..."</strong>each word half whispered and stumbling over the last.<br/><br/>As soon as she is off of him, Kaneda breaths again, and rushes to aid with the barricade, grabbing anything nearby to help stop the encroaching horde. As more pallets and debris is shifted in front of the entry way, he stops, as though something just hit him... After the briefest pause, he turns bringing his makeshift club to bear.<strong>"Fire escapes!!!</strong>are his only words as he goes leaping across the school roof toward the Western edge, and the top of one of two ladders leading to the roof.
