Yukari faces trouble on the way back.

(chapter originally by Phantom Pen at writing.com)

Carefully, and with more than a little trepidation, Yukari slowly peeked her head into the school hallway, looking around to see if the coast was clear. Thankfully the school was pretty much cleared out by this point of day, as the school clubs had finished their meetings and even most staff would have left for the evening. Glad that she'd at least be free of living that infamous nightmare of being caught naked in school, Yukari carefully crept through the halls to the front of the school. Reaching the shoe lockers, Yukari quickly scanned the immediate outside of the school, happy to find it similarly empty.

Feeling that perhaps her luck might be improving slightly, Yukari threw open the front door of the school and ran like her life depended on it. With one arm held tightly across her breasts and the other reaching down to cover her crotch, Yukari's speed left something to be desired, but it was either that or run with everything on display. Amazingly, things went very well for several blocks. It wasn't until Yukari reached the most integral part of her journey that she ran into trouble.

Since the school was on an island just slightly offshore, the monorail line was a major part of Yukari's commute. In her current state she'd rather walk to the Moonlight Bridge and do her best to creep across quietly, but it would be absolutely packed with cars in rush-hour traffic. Yukari was hoping that she'd be able to sneak onto the monorail and find an empty car, or maybe even find a footpath that had been neglected and forgotten. The problem with either option was that the entire area was packed with people. Between the outlet stores and the movie theater, the station was a buzzing hub of activity, and there was no way in hell Yukari would be able to get to the monorail unseen.

Yukari needed a place to hide. Somewhere she could lay low until the area emptied out and she could progress unseen. The only issue was that potential hiding places were few and far between. There was that alleyway to the more seedy part of the station, and most people kept away from it due to its reputation. But those that didn't avoid it... they were best avoided in the best of circumstances. The other option was a bit risky, but Yukari could try sneaking into the cinema. If she laid low in a theater, the low light might keep her state of undress hidden, and she'd be able to pass time with at least a bit of entertainment. Of course she'd also be surrounded by people, potentially people she knew...

In any case, Yukari had to make a decision. She had to hide, the only real question was: where?
