So as promised, I'm back! Sorry to keep you waiting~
@lezperv - i'll do my best for more atsumina. btw, happy early bday
@yuuyu - idk if i've said this before, but dude you're like smart, or very knowledgeable o.o it's interesting. Most questions, if anyone has, I'll try to answer them in the fic. i'm sorry if i leave any questions you have unanswered, i prefer to keep people guessing. There's going to be so much more now that their powers are found out, haha stay tuned
@gek geki - She does need punishment haha, but how can she if no one knows she did it...
@kazutoryu - I wonder how yuki would even find out
@Justqle - haha, the "she's mine" is really popular, I love it too. Kojiyuu's cute too. And everyone's talking about Mayu's actions, she's pretty devious. Thanks for reading
@kurogumi - as somewhat mentioned above, will anyone even find out first? Then you can talk about punishment
@atsukojiyuu_C - hm, if it's yuko, it'd be obvious to know how she will react, but I wonder if it would be as bad as Mayu's reaction... haha. And about their current dilemma, read to find out x) also, thanks for reading.
@Terragen - haha, I was actually planning to update today you know x)
Douzo!
=======================================================================================================
“EHHH?!?!?!” Uso!
“What is this?!” Yuko demands.
“What’s going to happen??” Atsuko looks around.
“Does Aki-P know of this?” Yui asks, staring at the tv.
Sasshi pulls at her hair. “We’re going to die!”
“Where did all this footage come from?!” Yuki-san says.
“Miichan! You’re so careless!” Yuko yells at her.
“Me?! I didn’t know someone was there! I thought the area was clear!”
“You thought!”
“Maybe it was a birdwatcher. The location we were at was popular for homing several species of uncommon birds.” Haruna comments.
“Someone should have told me before! Wahhhh, everyone’s going to know it was me!”
“Well your face was blurred, so maybe not…” Atsuko tries to calm her.
“That doesn’t make me feel any better!”
“Hey, Takamina, Acchan, I know this isn’t a good time to say, but you both are so cool!” Paruru says, coming up to us. What is she thinking?
“I kind of wish I saw more fighting…” Yui says, nodding.
“Are you all crazy?! That was dangerous!” I scream at them.
“I knew I should have killed them…” Acchan mumbles.
“What?” Did I hear that right?
“N-no, nothing.” She groans. “This is sooo bad.”
“What I’m curious of is, what was happening at the lake…?” Yuki-san says.
Oh yeah. “I’m sure that happened after we left. Sasshi did you do anything??” I turn to her.
“E-eh?? N-no, I was with you guys the entire time. I couldn’t have done that.” She waves her hands in defense.
“How did it happen then?” Yuki-san scratches her head.
Mayu-san hugs Yuki-san from behind, “Who knows.”
Wait a minute. Mayu-san was also at the hotel with us. Maybe…. Nah, can’t be.
“Again, all of you are so careless! This is Miichan’s fault!” Yuko continues pointing fingers. It’s not her fault.
“And Takamina and Acchan’s fault! You can also clearly see Acchan in the video. Takamina was probably tiny, so you can’t notice her. But now the media has a suspect, what if they come here??” Miichan cries. Why does she have to blame us now? It’s not our fault either. This is getting annoying.
Yuki-san puts a stop to it. “Stop blaming people! It’ll get us nowhere! We have to deal with it. If it’s really serious then we’ll know sooner or later. Plus, helloooo? We’re in like, another dimension. And in the sky! It’s impossible to find us here let alone the school. I’m sure if anyone even found this place—which is highly unlikely—then there would be measurements already in place to handle possible situations or threats. We’re perfectly safe here.”
“If you say it like that, you might jinx us.” Mayu-san comments.
“It’s not like they can really do anything anyways. We have powers and abilities that they don’t have. They would be no match for us in a fight.” Mariko-sama states as she reads her magazine, not caring what’s going on, but listening.
“I wouldn’t want to fight though.” Haruna speaks softly.
Mariko-sama looks up from her magazine. “It’s not fighting. It’d be defense.”
“Still…”
Rena-san puts a hand on Haruna’s shoulder to comfort her, then looks at everyone. “Worrying needlessly isn’t going to help anyone. We’ll just have to keep track of the news. Let’s just all get some sleep. We might be busy tomorrow.”
“How can we sleep with all this on our minds?” I ask, starting to feel stressed out.
“You make the best of it.”
~next morning~
“Ahh, I slept like a baby.” Acchan says as we meet in the hallway. She laughs when she sees me.
“You look terrible.”
“Thanks for being honest.” I frown. “How could you even sleep?”
“I didn’t worry about anything.” She shrugs.
“But you were in the footage, how could you not??”
“Hm…” She looks up.
“As long as I have you, it doesn’t matter. It’s not the end of the world. We’re still together.” She smiles at me which brightens my day a bit. I feel a little better now.
I still don’t want anything to happen though.
The intercom comes on. Announcements are made for all students to report to the auditorium. It was about time.
~~~~
“I’m sure I don’t have to explain the current events. I won’t mention any names. I’m sure you know who you are. Unfortunate as it is, I must remind you all that this is not a game. I apologize that it is not all fun and games. Being special is not something to be taken lightly. I will not tell you that with your powers comes great responsibility. It does not. It does however, come with restrictions. And that is your freedom to use them. After you graduate, you can use them however you please as long as you keep in mind that it must never be shown in public. It does not seem like you have listened in your classes. With the situation, it is imperative that we resolve this matter as soon as possible. Fortunately or unfortunately, we have thought of this possibility beforehand as you are all just students.” He walks across the stage.
“Now, I would like you to turn your attention to this large screen. As you can see, this will not just disappear over time. Not unless something is done.” Multiple clips are spread across the large screen sampling us with all the footage of various news not only in Japan, but around the world as foreign countries find out about us. Scientists around the globe are intrigued and excited about this discovery. I’m sure they would love to only experiment with us though, considering that’s all that happens in movies with things like this. Also, some people are disregarding it and think it’s a hoax or some kind of major edited videos.
One footage in particular gains most of our attention as a riot is going on and the people are demanding to arrest the “freaks” and hold them in custody. Police and detectives everywhere are doing everything they can to find out who we are and where we’re located.
“You know I’ve always wanted to be famous, but this was not what I was looking for.” Miichan says.
“But look, now you’re wanted.” Mariko-sama says.
“We’re all wanted!” Miichan snaps.
“It’s not the good kind.” Jurina shakes her head.
“Ahm.” Aki-P coughs.
“All this footage is over the last 12 hours, and it is only the least of our problems.” All the news clips disappear to be replaced by a headliner going live. It appears a conference is currently being held, and world leaders have gathered together. We can’t understand much what they’re saying, but their message is clear.
We listen to the news guy, “This just in, global leaders have just issued threats that if the freaks don’t show themselves, they have agreed to initiate World War S. To make things clear, it is unclear who has powers and who does not, as they look exactly like us. It could be me, it could be you, it could be the person right next to you, and it could even be your dog! Really, they could be anywhere and anyone and you don’t even know it. But! If the world has to go to war with an unknown enemy, it’ll only be our self-destruction.”
“He said it!” Sae screams, standing up.
“Yeah, what are they thinking?” Sayaka agrees.
“World War S. Oh my god, I’m dying.” Yuko laughs in her seat.
“It’s a bluff!” I call.
“No, it’s risk they’re going to take if it’ll get us to come to them.” Mayu-san says.
“Humans.” Mariko-sama rolls her eyes.
“You’re one too you know.” Sayanee raises an eyebrow.
“I know, but it’s so typical. They just don’t know us. They’re afraid of us. Afraid of what they don’t know. They see us as a threat because of the possibility or actuality that we’re in a way, higher than them.” She smirks at that last part.
“If we don’t show ourselves, we’ll be endangering the lives of everyone. No one will be safe, really.” Tomochin says.
Aki-P agrees. “Which is why all students are not allowed to leave the Academy for the time being. Also, your parents and others with abilities are immediately being moved to guarded locations until this all settles.”
“So you’re not going to make us turn ourselves in?” Atsuko asks him.
“Why would he do that?” I round on her. Even if he did, I wouldn’t let them take Atsuko.
“Well if you think about, it’s like, turn us in or a world war? Hm? Which would you pick?” She says.
“Oh I see, but I don’t like either choice. Is there an alternative?”
Aki-P answers. “To answer your question, yes there is. Neither will happen. A plan is already underway to resolve this. You will all probably go through tremendous torture. There isn’t any other way.” We all gulp.
He smiles at our expressions. “I am only kidding. For now, you will have to deal with waiting for the next few days before we start taking action. Until then, you’re all going to have to be patient before I explain everything.”
“W-wait, what? So there’s no ‘tremendous torture’?” Sasshi asks.
“No, unless of course you would like me to incorporate that into the plan?” He asks, rhetorically.
“Eh?”
“Moving on, the reason is also because sometime in the next few days, a new student will be transferring here from abroad. It will take a while because she must get here unnoticed and without any problems. She may be the only one who can fix this crisis.”
We all nod in awe, I can’t believe there’s such a person.
Chatter rises as we all get excited.
“How…?” I say, skeptical.
“Sugoi!” Jurina widens her eyes.
“She must be amazing.” Milky says.
“She must be strong.” Sayanee smiles at the thought.
“I bet she’s beautiful!” Sae bounces excitedly.
“Who is she?” Sayaka asks.
“Oooh, I hope she’s in an Elementalist!” Jurina grins.
Mayu-san scoffs. “Pshh, she’s obviously going to be an Attribute. How can an Elementalist solve this problem?”
“She could surprise us.” Jurina’s eyes sparkle in excitement. I kind of agree with Mayu-san though.
“I can’t wait to meet her!” Yuko calls.
“Yeah! A new friend!” Haruna says.
“I wonder what her powers are?” Sasshi says.
That’s the real question huh?
Aki-P calms everyone down. “Until she arrives, classes are cancelled.”
“Yayyy!” We all scream.
“BUT, you all must still go to school for attendance.”
*noises of people groaning and complaining*
~~~
“This is stupid.” Right now, everyone is just hanging out in the classroom. There’s really no point being here if we’re going to be doing nothing.
“It’s better than being stuck in the dorms.” Miichan says.
“I guess.” Yeah, at least I’m with Atsuko.
“If we had to fight, would you?” She asks Atsuko.
“Well we would have to if we wanted our freedom, right?” She responds.
I don’t say anything as I listen to them. I feel like something’s missing and glance around the room. Oh, Yuko and Haruna are sitting in the back of the classroom together. No wonder. It’s not that noisy for some reason. What are they doing?
Atsuko and I leave Miichan and walk across the room.
“Hey aren’t you worried? How can you be relaxing?” I ask the two.
“Why should we be worried?” Haruna ponders the question.
“I don’t really care about it anymore. If it came down to it, you know we can easily fight back.” Yuko sighs.
“Bombs and guns. Can we beat that?” I say.
She shrugs. “It doesn’t matter. Aki-P said he has a plan, so it’ll be alright.”
“How do you know?”
Haruna comments, “Well I trust Yuko’s judgment so I agree with her.” Yuko nods with a small smile.
Will it really be all right?
“Oh, I went to Yuki’s classroom earlier but she wasn’t there. Where is she?” Atsuko asks.
“She’s with Mayu over at block B. Now excuse me~” Yuko grabs my arm and pulls me away from Atsuko and Haruna. Atsuko watches us confused as Haruna just starts talking to her about trivial things.
“Let me go, what is it?” I demand.
“I have a very important question.” Her expression becomes serious.
I raise an eyebrow. “Ok, shoot.”
She motions me to come closer. Curious, I lean over.
“What would be a good present to get for Haruna for our one week anniversary??”
I stare at her, dumbfounded. She didn’t just ask me that, did she? Really, this is why she’s not worrying about the possibility of war. She’s too busy thinking about this?!
“Seriously??” I say.
She nods, her expression unchanging. I can’t believe this. She must really love her. Isn’t a one week anniversary kind of too much? A month or a year is understandable, but a week? I heave a sigh.
“I doubt she even knows you want to get her something. I bet she’s not even thinking about this anniversary. But knowing her, she would probably love the thought of you thinking that your one week anniversary is important.”
“I see… Say if I were going to get her a gift though… What would she like? I need that question answered.”
“Something simple.”
“You are making this hard for me.”
“It’s not my anniversary.”
“Ok. Fine. Then... one more question. This is very super-duper important.” Her eyes look determined. I roll my eyes. Now what could it be..
“Is this actually serious?”
“Of course, it’s not important to just me, it should also be important to you.” To me? What?
She leans to my ear. “Have you and Acchan kissed yet?”
I blink.
“Eh?!” I smack her head. Why would she ask such a question?? Oh wait, it’s Yuko, of course. But still! Well sure, we might have kissed that one time Atsuko kissed me, but I wouldn’t really say we kissed since I stopped it immediately. Eeeh yabai, she had to ask that now? I don’t want to think about this.
“Judging by the look of your face, I’m assuming you haven’t. Are you serious? Why haven’t you two kissed yet??” She says laughing, surprised. I reach to grab my face, feeling my face heat up. I’m blushing?! Argh! Yuko! Go away! It’s none of your business!
“Oiiiiii. Takamina, answer me~” I glare at her.
I look down away from her as I feel my face getting redder. “It’s not like I don’t want to…” I mumble. She turns her ears to me to hear me. “I do…” I pause, taking a glance at Atsuko across the room. Her smile widens as she laughs with Haruna, her nose crinkling. Her eye catches mine watching her and she waves at me. I give her a weak smile before looking away. I close my eyes as if all my problems will disappear. When I open them, Yuko is waiting expectantly for an explanation. Kamisama, she’s so annoying!
“I… I’m just waiting for the right time.” I’ve never kissed someone. It’s different if I’m the one to initiate it. I don’t know what to do. Honestly, I’m actually not ready.
“Takamina, there is never a right time. It just happens. Don’t wait too long though. You never know what’s going to happen.” She heads back to Atsuko and Haruna, leaving me to think about it.
~~~
For the next couple days, everyone was waiting restlessly for the transfer student. It wasn’t that bad. To pass the time, we just did whatever. I read, drew, hummed some tunes, I hung out with Atsuko a lot too. The other day, I even got her to sing for me. At first she was shy, but she eventually got over it with my encouragement. She was shining while she was singing, and her voice is so pure. She’s like an angel, no, she is one.
We also got permission to sing in the choir room. It’s really amazing in there. There’s a karaoke machine there too, so we ended up singing together. I thought she was a better singer than me, but she always told me otherwise. She said she wasn’t good and still believes it.
“Minami, I’m not a very good singer by myself. But with you, we’re a perfect match.”
“I like singing with you too.”
Yesterday, we went over to the dance clubroom which was in block K. Others students were there and they were just having a free-style session to alleviate their boredom. If there was no classes, everyone just thought that they might as well attend to club activities. Atsuko and I didn’t dance with them though. We both weren’t confident enough to try, though the shinyuu trio kept pestering us to dance with them. It never happened. We just enjoyed watching them practice.
After their practice, we did some training on our powers. I trained longer than Atsuko, who ended up only watching me. She needs to practice, but her stomach kept saying otherwise.
“Are we done yet? I’m hungry~” She groans.
“What do you mean ‘we’? I’m the only one who’s training.”
“But I am training. I’m training my eyes to keep them on you.”
“You know, I should be saying that! You’re not doing anything! Don’t you want to get stronger?”
“I’m okay.”
“You could be better.”
“It’ll take time, let’s go eat!”
“Not until you practice!”
“Mou! No!”
“Atsuko.”
“I’ll just go without you!” She stomps away. I sit on the floor for a break, setting down the weights I was lifting. Not a minute later, she returns pouting.
“I’ll train.” She says frowning.
“Great, then you can start by sparring with me.”
She walks over to me. As I get up, she moves to kick me. Surprised, I shut my eyes. I wasn’t even ready! The thing is, I don’t feel the impact. I open my eyes to see her leg through my chest.
“Ahhhhh!!!” I scream and poke her leg. She giggles. I turn my head around to slightly see her foot through my back. Oh god, why.
Laughing at my shocked expression, she removes her leg out of me. That’s weird isn’t it. I feel my body around to make sure everything’s okay. “Wah, don’t ever do that again.” I breathe out.
“Hm? Do what? This?” She sticks her hand right through mine. They look like they were molded together.
“Stop! This is weird!” I wave around our hands. She let’s go and skips away from me. She turns around and smiles, playfully sticking her tongue out.
“Ah, come back here! We’re supposed to be training!” I run after her.
“No! We’ll eat, then train again. You know, burn off the calories.” She runs away from me.
“Atsuko!” She laughs at me. I’m too slow to catch her. Smiling, I increase the strength in my legs closing our distance. She looks behind and gasps seeing me closer. She smirks and waves a hand. I suddenly crash to the floor flat, unable to move.
“Oi! That’s not fair!”
“You weren’t being fair yourself!”
“Let up!” I call out.
I feel the gravity decrease back to normal so I slowly get up trying to orient myself again. As soon as I stood up, gravity slammed me back onto the ground.
She stands in front of my fallen figure, giving me a teasing smile. “Food, now. Or you can stay there for the rest of the day.”
I try to look up to glare at her. I can hardly move my head, and my strength isn’t helping either, dang it.
Tch. “You win.” I admit defeat.
She releases the pressure off me letting me flip onto my back to actually breathe. I’m so tired. Her face comes into view as I look up at the ceiling. I look into her eyes. “Stop messing with me.”
She giggles. “You’re too cute, how can I not? You still love me.”
“Hai, always.”
~~~
Today, the air is filled with excitement. Everyone gathers again in the auditorium, and that must mean that the transfer student is here. Everyone’s hopes are riding on her, since she may be the only one who can fix everything. They can’t wait to see such an amazing person. And it’s not like she’ll just be helping us, she’ll be saving the entire world from its destruction. She’ll prevent everyone from trying to kill us or their own people. This is a happy day in light of the situation.
I look around the room, noticing the bright and anxious looking smiles of everyone. The mystery will soon be revealed. Our questions will be answered, and the plan will start into motion. Whatever it is, with this new addition we won’t have to worry. We’ll be able to get through this and then next year, we’ll look back at this crisis and laugh, saying it was nothing to begin with. If we can’t handle this, then what would be the point of having these special powers?
The noise dies down as Aki-P steps onto the stage.
“Before we begin this meeting, I would like to announce the arrival of our newest student which I’m sure all of you have been looking forward to meeting. Also, I would like for everyone to give her a warm welcome so she may adjust well here. She has never attended school before so coming here will be new to her. However, she is one of the brightest persons I have ever met. I’m sure you all know of her.” He turns around as we look at each other confused.
“You can introduce yourself now.” He says.
From the side, a familiar girl walks onto the stage. She faces us with a wide smile.
“Konnichiwa, Kawaei Rina desu. Yoroshiku onegaishimasu.”
=========================
