Chapter 4 : Searching for Chrome

Junhao : Heeh. I can see that you're interacting nicely with the Chrome students ne, Kiryuu kun.
Shori : (shocked) Junhao san....?
Junhao : (smile) Ni hao.

JunHao sudden presence shocked Kiryuu Shori and Fukushima Shinichi. Though Hamano Hikari had alredy sensed her from before.

Hikari : Ne ne what do you think if I participate in the acrobatic game. I can use the wind as I wish and noone will notice it.
JunHao : Isnt it better if you join the volleyball game. You can control the ball easily since its light
Both of the girls : Ne~ (giggles)
Shinichi : (disgusted + annoyed)
Shori : I didnt know that a 15 year old girl and a 21 year old adult can have the same level of thinking.
Hikari : Ah! Before you guys go, remember I have something to say.
Shori : We do. So make it snappy.

Hikari : From the incident that Junhao san has worked on till now, it seems like the Chromes definitely need a leader for them to move about easily.
JunHao : Correction. Chromes outside not the ones in school.
Hikari : Well nothing had happened so far so we wouldnt know for sure about the Chromes inside the school.
JunHao : hmm.. youre right. But if its concerning the Chrome I would still doubt them.

Hikari and Junhao continues their discussion.

Shori : Ne!

Both of them looks towards him.

Shori : So what i have in connection with this discussion? If not we're going home.
Hikari : Thats the main thing. You, Kiryuu Shori, youre going to play your part here.
JunHao : Yep. I agree (nods several times)
Shori : ha?
Hikari : Since youre the 1st year executive member of Student Council, plus youre in charge of the Chromes affair. Its easier for u to gain informations on the Chromes. Not only from them, even from the Kaichou himself....

Shori and Shinichi are having their own discussion about their dinner tonight.

Hikari : ah!! Dont ignore me bakatachiiii!!!
Shori : (turns) Im not interested.
Hikari : Demo Kiryuu kun.. we need ur help.
Shori : Why should I? Na, Shin?
JunHao : Listen Kiryuu kun, we the police officers wants to cut down the activities done by the Chromes. Especially the crimes. Most of the crimes are done by the Chromes.
Shori : i have nothing to do with your investigation, Police san. Jaa.

Shori and Shinichi walks away. Junhao and Hikari looks at each other.

AT HOME

When they reached home, they saw that Ken, Shori's little cousin was sleeping on the floor without any blanket.

Shori : Mattaku.. Ken chan.. why are you sleeping here? The floor's cold isnt? (picks Ken up)
Ken : Sho... chan... (half awake) Ive been.. waiting...
Shori : (gives a little peck on his forehead) Shin, Im gonna tuck him to bed.

Shinichi drops his school back and blazer, grabs Shori who still has Ken on his arm and kisses Shori.

Shori : Shin..?
Shinichi : (looks away) Go tuck him to bed first.
W1
IN THE DINING TABLE

Shori : Shin! I know you have something to tell me right? So tell me!!
Shinichi : .......
Shori : Is it about what Hamano said?
Shinichi : I think its time already.
Shori : ... wht do u mean, Shin?
Shinichi : It has been 5 years since then. Dont you think its time already?
Shori : ......

Shori's gaze turns towards the photo that is on the side table of the hall. The picture of Shori's whole family together with Shinichi.

Shinichi : You can hide it from others but you cant hide it from yourself. We can use magic but we're not Chrome users. Why is that?
Shori : Shin... we have discussed this before right?
Shinichi : Shori (grabbed Shori's hand) yesterday, you let out fire right?
Shori : (sweats)
Shinichi : But you controlled it. Isnt that a success?
Shori : You know I dont want this power....
Shinichi : I know. I know you the most. But, until when are you going to be scared? Be scared of your powers, your identity, your existance?
Shori : I dont know.. Shin...
Shinichi : (smile) Im here for you remember. There, try to extinguish the fire.

Shori stood up from his place but Shinichi grabbed his hand.

Shinichi : Using your magic.

Shori gulps. He lifts his hand and move it downwards and the fire extinguishes.

Shinichi : See you did it. A little practice youll be fine.
Shori : But..
Shinichi : (places his finger on his lips) No buts. Ill always be your shadow.

Kiryuu Shori has been living alone since he was 10 years old. His parents didnt pass away nor did they went missing. They went out for a work but didnt come home since then. Shinichi who had known Shori since they were very very young decided to accompany Shori in that gigantic house up till this day.

NEXT DAY

Shori : Hamano!
Hikari : (turn around) Kiryuu kun?
Shori : Ill go out with you. (serious)
Hikari : (turns red)

Everyone around starts whispering.

Hikari : wht.... what the hell r you talking about!! Baka!!
Shori : eh? Tht I accept your conditions?
Hikari : (fully blush) Baka!!! If you dont know how to speak, dont speak (runs)
Shori : ah.... now what..

Shori turns and saw everyone looking at him while whispering to each other. He saw Shinichi, glaring at him.

Shori : ah..... yabai...

AFTER SCHOOL

Shori : (tugs Shinichi's arm) Gomen gomen Shin chan.
Shinichi : (continues to walk)
Shori : (bows) Gomen nasai.
Shinichi : ( stops and looks at Shori whose head is lowered) Shori. Look in front.

Shori lifts up his head and saw the board with HELENCIA PUBLIC LIBRARY written on it.

Shori : Library?
Shinichi : In order to know about something, u shld refer to the textbooks. So to know about Chrome we should search in the library.
Shori : (tears up) Shin chaan.

Shori and Shinichi enters the library. They went from one row to another row searching for any book that has any information about the Chrome and their history. The sky changes its color to orange - red. They had spent 2 hours in the library looking for something that they didnt find.

Shori : Sumimasen, is there any book that has anything about Chrome or its history.
" Sumimasen deshita. Any book that has any information about Chrome has been confisticated from all libraries by the Helencia Government."
Shori : eh? Why?
"Maybe because of problems that may arise. As u see, people uses Chrome users in a bad way. Taking advantage on thm u can say."
Shori : So we wont gt any information about Chrome anywhere?
"Sumi masen (bows) The original copy of books regarding Chrome can only be in the Castle."

OUtSIDE

Shori : (sighed) Guess its not easy to get information on Chrome eh?
Shinichi : (smiles)
Shori : ugh.. whts with tht smile Shin?
Shinichi : In the castle.. she said (little laugh)
Shori :(laughs)

Both of them laughed as if laughter is contagious.

Shori : sou da. Sou da. Its easier than we think actually.
Shinichi : The castle... eh?
Shori : (confident smile)

As they were walking down the road suddenly they heard the screeching sound of the tire of the car plus the car's honking. They caught sight of a girl with a long silk coloured hair by the road trying to cross the busy road. As she place her foot on the road way, a car came rushing. Shori tries his best to grab the girl off the road. Both of them came in cntact with each othrs body warmth.

Shori : Baka!!! Wht do u think ure doing?

Shori looks at the girl who's hair is disheaveled because of that rush. He felt sorry for her and he brushed her hair that covers her face to the side so he can have a better look on her.

Shori : (softly) Daijoubu.. ka?

She looked at Shori. Their eyes connected. Shori quickly turns his gaze away and stands up. He scratched his head and he helped her to gain her balance.

Shori : If.. if you want to cross the road, its better if u use the pedestrian flight over. There its just ahead.
"A.. arigatou gozaimassu.."(heads for the bridge)
Shori : Dou itashi.... mashite....
Shinichi : (looks at the girl)

Suddenly,

Hikari : Kiryuu kun! Fukushima kun!! (came running)
Shori : Hamano san. What r u doing here?
Hikari : Im waiting for my friend.
Shori : Friend?
Hikari : Sou sou. She's gonna be our classmate after the Sports Event.
Shori : why only after?
Hikari : hmm.. the rush of studying. Well see you two tomorrw. Jaa ne.
