Chapter 17

Hikari: eeh?? so thts what happened (excited)
Yuu: sou desu. Thats why im so worried when Kiryuu kun didnt come to school.
Hikari: wait, wait, wait. Hold on. U said u were attacked by Chromes in Helencia Central Town?
Yuu : はい。
Hikari: and they said tht Kiryuu had interfere with their affairs??
Yuu: sou.

Both of them look into each other intensely and suddenly they burst out laughing.

Hikari: that is so not possible.
Yuu: sou ne. Even i thought so.
Hikari: can u imagine that soft and weak Kiryuu Shori fighting at the street.
Yuu: so impossible.
Hikari: he doesnt even want to fight in tournaments, least in fights.
Yuu: yeah.

Both of them continues laughing and suddenly they stopped and look at each other, with sweatdrop.

Yuu: its not that he cant but he doesnt WANT to fight in tournaments...
Hikari: i heard of guys that are very different when they are off school grounds.. like those in manga..
Yuu: mou.. hikari chan, this is not a manga. This is the reality.
Hikari : i know but it can happen.
Yuu : but i still dont think theyre referring to Kiryuu kun. Maybe they made a mistake.
Hikari: isnt that dangerous... u can get hurt..
Yuu: well i did.
Hikari: see? Even Kiryuu was attacked?
Yuu: yeah... i saw one chinese lady treating his wounds though..
Hikari: chinese lady? Ah. Thats JunHao, the police officer. She's in charge of crimes done by Chromes.
Yuu: oh..
Hikari:.. u did say that a guy saved u right??
Yuu: (blushes) yeah..
Hikari: heeh. Why r u blushing?
Yuu: (embarassed) im..im.... im not..
Hikari: yes u are.
Yuu: well i owe him a thanks. But i couldnt recognize his face since his hood was way too down covering his face..
Hikari: do u wanna meet him again? (Soft voice)
Yuu: (excited) can i?
hikari: ahahaha. Seee? U like hiimm.
Yuu:

As they were talking, Shori and Shinichi enters the class. Yuu stood up but Hikari grabbed her wrist.

Hikari: what r u gonna do?
Yuu: im going to tell him what happened.
Hikari: for what?
Yuu: he needs to know. I think he got attacked by the same bunch of people who attacked me. Maybe he can make a police report.
Hikari: i dont think u need to do so.
Yuu: u sure?
hikari: yeah. Dont tell ur brother too.
Yuu: yeah.. i wont.

Hikari and Yuu are sitting two rows behind his seat place. Shori turns and smiles to the two girls who were looking at him.

Hikari :(whispers) something is off, dont u think?
Yuu: (whispers) he does look different.. but what...?

Shori: Koizumi, i have something to ask you later.
Yuu: (reddens) eh?
Hikari: matte matte. If u wanna ask her something, i have to be there too.
Shori: eeh... but it has nothing to do with u.
Hikari: doesnt matter. (hugs Yuu)
Shori: ... aahh..-_-||| ure making it hard for people to confess to her...
Hikari : (stood up) u want to confess to her??

Everyone turn their gaze towards them. Shori's smilling face becomes pale. Yuu's soul has left her body.

Hikari: ........ is what the main actor said to the heroine. Hahahahahahaha. See how jealous he was (laughs)

Everyone continues their own business ignoring them. Shori has an expression that makes him wanna punch Hikari. Yuu buries her embarassed face in both of her palms.

Mikan: Kiryuu kun, here are the printouts that u need to send to Seitou Kaichou.
Shori: oh. Arigatou.

STUDENT COUNCIL ROOM

Ryoki and Kyoya seems to have a serious discussion.

Kyoya: what do u mean?
Ryoki : like i said, the book is not in the library. Ive checked through every shelf.
Kyoya: how is that possible.. the security of ur castle should be perfect.
Ryoki: (sighed) it must be the work of the outsiders.
Kyoya: but u would be able to sense whichever one enter ur castle right?
Ryoki: it must had happened during my absence. Anyway, i need to get the book back.

SOmeone knocks on the door. Shori enters the room.

Shori: ah.. gomen. Im here to hand over there printouts.
Kyoya: oh yeah, arigatou Shori kun (takes the printouts)
Ryoki: (noticed something) Shori kun, what happened to ur neck?

Shori zips up his gakuran quickly.

Shori: ah. Iie. Nandemonai yo. Jaa na.

Shori quickly comes out of the room to avoid excessive questions.

Kyoya: Ryoki, uve scared Shori kun. He has been bandaging his neck for long, you know.
Ryoki: .... when did u noticed it?
Kyoya: since the first day of school. He usually wears his muffler though.
Ryoki:...... (deep thinking)

Shori: (lifts up his collar) no wonder Koizumi and Hamano has been staring at me (sigh)

A soft material was thrown on his face. Shori takes it off his face and it is a muffler. He looks ahead and saw Shinichi.

Shori: Shin! Why didnt u give it to me earlier?
Shinichi : u didnt ask me to.
Shori: (flungs over his muffler over his neck) heh. Is that an excuse?
Shinichi: an excuse for u to start speaking? Yes.
Shori: baka. Thts why u were so silent this morning.
Shinichi: (smiles) ohayou.
Shori: only now (punches gently)

IN CLASS

Someone enters the room and looks around.

"Ano, may we help u? Who are u looking for?"

The question was asked to the one who just enters the classroom, a shy timid girl who wears a green stripe coloured school uniform.

"Um.. ano.. etto.... (looks around) im looking for Koizumi Kyoya's little sister, Koizumi Yuu...."
"Koizumi!! Someone's here for u"

Yuu: eh?
"Ano... etto... ur brother asks me to call u"
Yuu: oniichan ga?? (turns around) chotto ne, Hikari chan.
Hikari: hai, hai. Shall i wait for u?
Yuu : its okay. Im going homr with my brother today. Can u please pack my bag if schools over?
Hikari: (thumbs up) wakatta wakatta, brother complex (winks)
Yuu: im noott!!
Hikari : hehe.

Both the girls left the classroom. Mikan passed by them and enters the classroom.

Hikari: mikan chan mikan chan! Help me with science homework.
Mikan: youre so noisy. Why dont u ask Koizumi?
Hikari: didnt u see her when she went ot of class? Her brother is calling her.
Mikan : hm...
Hikari: here, help me with this one.

Yuu : senpai. Youre from the second year right?
"Eh... ano.. how did u know...??
Yuu: the stripes on ur sleeve. The numbr of stripes shows which year u are, deshou?
"Ah... yeah.... im a second year student lunar student"
Yuu: waah. So what chrome do u have?
"Eh? Why do u ask?
Yuu: gomen nasai, i was just curious. Hehe.

The lunar student chuckles. As they went to the third floor of the Block B building, they stopped in front of a room.

"Youre brother is in this room"
Yuu: hai. Arigatou.

The shy timid lunar student walks away quickly. Without wasting any time, she opens the door and enters.

She saw the silhouette of a person sitting on the desk. But the figure doesnt resemble the shape of a boy. The door behind her closed in a sudden. Yuu was shocked. She tried to open the door but its locked, magically.

"So, ure the little sister of Kiryuu Kyoya."

Speaks the silhouette of the girl as she gets off the table.

Yuu: ano.. and u are?
Kurumi: im Kurumi, a 3rd year senpai.
Yuu : (looks at her without blinking her eyes)
Kurumi: oh! And yeah, im a solar student just like urself, Yuu chan.
Yuu: ano.. ive been told that my brother is here..
Kurumi: ara! Did she give u the wrong message? I am the one who called u here.
Yuu: (steps back) im sorry. I came to see my brother not u senpai..
Kurumi: well dont be like that koneko chan. I had even prepared something for u.

Kurumi snapped her finger and suddenly something ties both Yuu's hand behind her back and both her feet which makes her losses her balance and fell on the ground. She groans in pain. Two girls came and stood by Kurumi's side.

Kurumi: here's ur prey. U can do whatever u want as long as u dont leave permanent marks on her.
Yuu: wait why r u doing this?
Kurumi: as a punishment for ur brother for not taking my advice. I shall do anything to kick the Chrome users out of this school.
Yuu: .... u hated the chromes and yet u use their services to do ur dirty work..
Kurumi: shut up!! Thats the second time that someone had said that to me. Well, nevermind.i shall do anything to get rid of the chromes. But first ill teach ur brother few lessons. (smirks) do it girls.

IN CLASS

Shori : lets go home. Asahina san, ill leave the keys here with u.
Mikan: (nods)
Shori: ure not going home yet, Hamano?
Hikari: nah. Im waiting for Yuu chan. Her bag is still here.
Shori: okay.

Shori and Shinichi walks out of the classrom and they met Koizumi kyoya.

Kyoya: going home now?
Shori: yeah.
Kyoya: kiyotsukete na, shori kun, shinichi kun.

Kyoya slides the door open and found only Mikan and Hikari are inside the classroom.

Kyoya: where is Yuu??
Hikari : ehhh??

Kyoya : ??
Hikari: oh yeah, she went to toilet earlier so im waiting for her. Wait let me go check on her.
Kyoya: okay, tell her ill be waiting by the fountain.
Hikari: hai (waves)

Kyoya walks out of the classroom taking Yuu's bag with him. When he's out of sight, Hikari grabbed Mikan by her shoulder.

Hikari: isnt Yuu chan was called by her brothrr earlier?? Why is he looking for her??
Mikan: maybe she is in the toilet afterall...
Hikari: im worried. Im gonna search for her (turns)
Mikan: wait. Let me come with u.

Mikan releases her Chrome and the ecriture of the layout of the school appears.

Mikan: I can help u.
Hikari: yoshi!

Mikan and Hikari runs out of the classroom.

MEANWHILE

Yuu groans in pain.

"Hey, why dont u fight back, silly girl?"
"That beautiful face or urs, let me make it up. With scars"

Before the girl could slap her, Yuu dodged it.

"Heeh (impressed) U have a good reflex system. But ill make sure u wont be able to dodgr it this time"

She grabbed a scissor and aimed it on Yuu. Yuu closed her eyes, praying for a miracle to happen. And at that same time, strong wind fills the room making the girl to drop down the scissor. In a second, the door was kicked open.

Hikari: so here u are, yuu chan. Have u not meet ur brother yet?
Yuu: hikari chaan!! Mikan chan!
"Tchh! Dont u dare interrupt"
Hikari: oho, but this little princess needs to go home. Dont u know its off school hours"

The girl releases her chrome in an ecriture of scissors and aims it towards Hikari. Hikari releases her wind magic and repels the attack. Mikan noticed an ambish attack.

Mikan: Hikari!! On ur left side!
Hikari: arigatou, mikan chan

Hikari turns 360° and forms a cyclone which repels the ambush attack.

"Keh... what r... u...?"
Hikari : well, lets just say im a gifted girl with magic.

Suddenly Hikari could feel a sudden pain around her upper body. She was tied with thin rope.

"Heh, guess u couldnt sense that was coming"
Hikari : che..

This is disadvantage scene. Hikari being tied up, paralyzing her movements. Mikan is unable to move. Yuu spots a scissor stabbed into the floor. She moves closer to it and cut the rope thats tying her hand with it. When she succeeds, she stood up and brings her hand forward.

Yuu: Dont u dare hurt my friends!

Yuu release ice from beneath her feet and it frozes the entire room. The two girls turn towards Yuu and dashes towards her. Yuu again releases her ice magic and they were both flung backwards, hitting their back against the wall. They groan on pain. Yuu quickly form a knife made of ice and cuts off the thin rope that was tying Hikari. Before the two girl stands up again, Yuu, Hikari and Mikan made their way out of the room, escaping.

**

The three girls were out of breath.

Hikari: wow.. luckily we managed to escape and what the hell was that yuu chan? I didnt know that ure a magic user.
Yuu: so do i.
Hikari: the heck. That was an awesome ice magic.

Hikari stops. Both mikan and her look straight towards Yuu, who's looking at her hands.

Hikari: whhhhaaattt? U mean.. u dont know tht u have magic?
Yuu: this is the first time.. this has never happened to me before.
Mikan: i would like to be happy for u but in this kind of situation u need to go to the doctor.
Hikari: (hugs Yuu) what r u saying, mikan chan? Yuu chan is not sickk.
Mikan: no, i mean.. not the real doctor.. okay wait... im not even sure. Because the magic just now was ot chrome. its just like urs, hikari. Pure element magic. Ive read it somewhere but i dont remember.
Hikari: pure element magic?
Mikan: yeah, theres a history for it which i dont know. But what i know is pure element magic users r not chromes. Chromes r passed down through genes while pure element magic are passes down on who deserves it. Or something like that.
Hikari: i think we need to go ask JunHao san. Im sure she can tell us tit bits abt it.
Yuu: (stares at her hand which still has traces of ice frost)
Hikari: yuu chan, r u gonna tell ur brothr..?
Yuu: ......... i think i have to.. but.. maybe not now..
Hikari: okay... (smacks gently on yuu's cheeks) just act natural. Ur brother is waiting for u by the fountain.
Yuu: hai.. arigatou hikari chan, mikan chan.
