A person is designated by what his actions and beliefs are, there are some that are designated as geniuses who are talented in one or more areas, there are also some who are considered workaholics who strive for success for their lack of talent I am neither. My name is Soren. Just call me Soren everybody else does, I have blonde hair and blue eyes, my mother was an American so I’m half American, half Japanese. I just moved to a new area my folks dropped me off paid my tuition, to a good school and enrolled me at Hanoko high. Most people their first day either try to be left alone or try to prove themselves to others by some extraneous act of bravado and sometimes stupidity. I am a friendly person by nature so my goal first day would be to just gain some friends and stick to a niche. Well I need to run to my first class which happens to be my best subject Algebra. As my hand reaches the inset handle they start to sweat a little, I’m a little nervous meeting new people and the 20 or so students staring at me doesn’t help either. I open the door to see the expected notice of me by everyone in class. The teacher gives me away by saying “ah yes you must be the new student that I heard about please come in.” I move to the center of the room putting my damp palms in the pockets of my school uniform so as to make me look at least somewhat unnerved by being new. The teacher then introduces me “This class is Soren, can you tell us a little about you Soren.” I reply to the class trying to keep cool “well besides my name, there isn’t much to me, I live alone, and my parents take frequent trips due to their business. My dad works in the Software development department of Sony, and my mom is a lawyer and I just moved from Kyoto to here which pretty much sums me up.” My new classmates start whispering to each other all of which are about me. The Teacher quiets the class down and asks me to sit in a seat two rows from the front near the window. As I sit in my seat I notice the eyes of the students still on me till the teacher brings the focus back to him. The class goes smoothly nothing interesting to tell about just the normal class. After the class ends I pack up my stuff and head to break, which has me go to the roof, so I don’t draw attention to myself. I open the roof door and find a corner that overlooks the field where everyone else is gathering. As I’m about to eat my lunch the roof door opens again to reveal four people three guys and one girl, two of the guys and the girl were in my previous class, the last guy seems to be a freshman. One of the guys notices me, a tall guy with brown hair and a cool expression on his face. He tells them something which I couldn’t hear but soon find out. They all move over to me the brown haired kid asks “Hello, you were in my last class, mind if we sit with you.” I reply trying to stay cool “you can if you want” The four people sit down in various spots around me and break out there own lunches. As they do this I try to take notice of the other three people’s features. The girl has a strong face and short hair that looks tomboyish, the other guy that was in my class has surprisingly red hair with a curious yet somber expression on his face. While the freshman has black hair with a face that states he is interested in meeting me and glad to have another upperclassman to add to his group of friends. As I am about to take a bite of my lunch the strong faced tomboy asks “since you were in our class and we find you interesting enough to be looked upon with curiosity by our group why don’t you reintroduce yourself.” I reply “Isn’t it common for the person that is asking for an introduction to introduce themselves first” she grins slyly and says “Well pardon me, my name is Naja Hyuuga your highness.” As she says this she bows with her hand at her waist in a prying manner. The other two roll their eyes while the brown haired one rubs the sides of his nose bridge. I try to get into there familiarity and try to fix the tension with the girl I reply “My name is Soren madam it is my pleasure” I bow in the same manner that the girl did, which gets a chuckle out of the other three and a heh out of the girl. The brown haired one then introduces himself “ My name is Kurono Abuyama, it’s a pleasure to meet you Soren looks like your going to fit right in.” The Black haired freshmen then pipes up “ My name is Yasuke Tetzu good to have you Soren” lastly the somber red head introduces himself “ I’m Neon Yuuhi, nice to meet you.” I reply to them all “nice to meet you all as well.” After the introductions are over Kurono asks the question “So now that we know each other’s names, could you tell us about you?” I reply “what would you like to know?” Kurono thinks about it and says “well first off whats your surname” I respond with “ Nagahara my surname is Nagahara”

Kurono with an interesting look on his face “Soren Nagahara, hmm I think I have heard of a business group called the Nagaharas” feeling an intellectual conscious in Kurono I give him a little info on my family by saying “Yes my grandfather and other relatives are part of that International trade group, my father was the independent person that wanted to go against the grain that’s why we moved from Kyoto so my father can live away from the group.” Yasuke asks with increasing interest “So did you have an arranged marriage beforehand” I am struck back and I give him a quizzical look “uh no, my dad was a rebel before I was born so I doubt that I have a fiancé that I don’t know about” I look over at Kurono to get a reason why Yasuke said that he gives me the answer “He reads a lot of manga, he is right now into Aoi Aou Aoushi” I respond with “ah, never would have guessed” Neon speaks his mind by asking “Do you read manga Soren-san” I respond to his question “ A little but more of a video game fanatic” Naja having not contributed asks blatantly “ Since you don’t have a fiancé waiting for you, do you have a girlfriend?” I respond with a sly smile and say “no I don’t Naja” I put my hand on her shoulder “but I’m sorry your going to have to wait a week before asking me to be your boyfriend, I just met you” Naja gets mad and throws a punch at my shoulder, at the last second I meet her fist with my shoulder then roll it quickly to make it a less powerful glancing blow, it still hurt though she retorts “ jackass” she turns a little red and turns away from me. I rub my shoulder and smile the others try to hold back their laughter except Kurono who looks at me curiously but doesn’t give me an explanation why he was looking at me. The bell rings and I finish off my lunch, putting it away in my backpack. The four head off first while I finish putting away my stuff. I jog back down the stairs and head to my afternoon class English I’m better then most at English considering my mom’s background but it’s still my worst subject. The class goes off without a hitch; I listen to the lecture, take my notes, and get the homework due the next day. I pack up my stuff put it in my backpack and then head toward the door. As I walk down the hall, Kurono, and Neon come trotting down the hall to catch up to me, followed by Naja keeping her distance from me probably still mad at my joke. Kurono hails me “ Hey Soren wait up” The three catch up to me “lets continue the talk from the roof” says Kurono I respond “sure, but this time I would like to ask some questions about you guys.” Kurono replies “ sure, shoot” I first think of what I would like to ask, then decide to ask a simple question “How did you four meet” Kurono answers with “ oh well first off me and Naja are cousins so her parents moved here when I was 5 and we have been in the same school ever since. As for Neon, we met him when he was being picked on by some older kids so me and Naja helped him out and found him being a cool guy to hang around with so he joined our friends. Then Yasuke’s mom is friends with my mom, who asked me to have him join us when we were playing a game and we got to know him, so he has been with us since then.” I give the information some thought and give a nod “ok, then what hobbies do you have.” Kurono explains “well I’m like you I enjoy video games” Neon answers “I’m more into Movies then video games, but I love pie” Soren “ that’s cool, what about you Naja” Naja answers in a huff “my hobbies are none of your business” Kurono answers or her “she’s a mall rat” Naja exclaims “ Kurono!” Kurono replies “what, we are trying to make a friend and your pride is getting in the way, if you don’t want me to say your answers answer him yourself” Naja says sarcastically “fine, what else would you like to know Soren-kun” I roll my eyes and give a chuckle at her attitude and ask “Well now that I know your names and hobbies, what else should I ask” biding my time, just to aggravate Naja a little I ask “ Have you ever been to America” They all shake their heads no. Neon asks “Have you?” I respond “yes I have I visited California last year for my Mom’s family reunion, and then stayed their for a month, then came to Kyoto” Me, Kurono and Neon continue to chat while Naja continues to pout. We meet up with Yasuke at the entrance then head off toward home. We chat then go our separate ways toward home.

My homework last night was pretty easy so I finished it up fast, although finishing so quickly I still stayed up till midnight playing video games. I have no problem staying up late, but I have a wee problem with waking up. You know when you wake up 30 minutes before you need to get up, and when you finally get to sleep and start to have a really great dream and at that time your alarm goes off waking you, ever happen to you happened to me though this particular morning I unfortunatly didn't set my alarm to wake me, I got to sleep for an extra 20 minutes but, waking up with 5 minutes to get to school kind of gets you active lets have a look shall we.
I wake up from a good nap from waking slightly 50 minutes ago, I look over at the clock and see that its 7:55 school starts at 8:00 I rollover to try going back to sleep, then realize finally what time it is. My eyes blast open, I rip the covers away from me, grab my school uniform and start frantically putting things in my backpack. I take out some cold rice, some leftover sushi, and a couple of cold vegetables and stick them in a bento box rather hurriedly, this takes about 2 minutes. I put my backpack on with the bento box in it button my school jacket and open the kitchen window to my three story apartment, I jump out the window catching the light post and twirling around it down one story then spin around and place my feet on the lightpost to face my school and crouch and jump from the light post to a nearby tree, I grab a branch and spin around it crouching in a frog stance, I spin around it once more and launch off it landing on the ground and start running to school. Although I didn't notice it, a dark figure peers around the corner of the apartment not believeing what was just seen. Back to me. I sprint to the school grounds, I see the gate closing, I put on a burst of speed and slide through the gate as it closes behind me. The teacher looks at me awkwardly and says "cutting it close there kid" I smile and pick my self off the ground "sorry sensei my alarm didn't go off." the teacher replies "very well get to class now." I wipe the dust off my clothes and head to my first class. I open the door and see Kurono and Neon, giving them a slight wave and sitting in my seat they both come over to see whats up since I am breathing slightly more then usual. Kurono asks "so alarm not go off" I reply "yeah pretty much had to sprint all the way" Neon asks "is your house close to here" I respond " only about half a mile" Kurono asks suspicously"how long did ago did you leave your house" I lie "about 10 minutes ago" Kurono looks at me with a side glance but accepts the answer. Naja then opens the door looking down trot. Kurono looks over and says "You got caught I'm guessing" Naja answers her cousin "yeah the teach is ruthless." The teacher for World history opens the door behind Naja and says "alright everyone take your seats" Naja, Kurono, and Neon take their seats, Naja sits next to me which must be her seating place though never noticed before. As the teacher starts the class I take out my notebook and start taking notes, I feel a tenseness in my gut, I side glance and notice Naja giving me a suspicous look. I ask quietly"what" Naja replies "nothing" I tell her "I said in a wee..." before I finish the sentence Naja throws a punch at me though I dodge it, the teacher notices and sends us out to the hall with buckets of water to hold two for me and one for her as we silently wait till class is over. I ask her "So why were you staring at me in class" Naja replies " I had my reasons" I ask with a smile "oooh you falling for me already" Naja kicks toward me but I grab her foot by the heel, using my thigh as a balance for the bucket of water, catching her foot and parrying her to the side, she loses her balance and does the splits but still holds the buckets of water with her hand not even spilling a drop. Naja gets up and looks me straight in the eye, I put my leg down and grab the bucket of water that was on it Naja says "alright you want to know why I was staring at you, the reason I was staring at you was...." she stopped in the middle and started acting peculiar, I notice her cheeks were red and was looking past me. I look behind me to see four older guys walking down the hall chatting with eachother all seeming to be skipping class. Naja says with a stutter in her voice "he-he-llo, Yamata-san" The oldest looking one turns when he hears his voice and notices me and Naja holding the buckets the other three also look at me then at Naja. Yamata replies "Hello Naja you seem to be in trouble again what happened this time" Naja stutters with her answer "Me and Soren-san were fighting" I think to myself ~san she's never been that polite~ Yamata turns to me and says "Soren-san I'm guessing" I reply "Yep, would shake your hand but I have them preoccupied" the three in the back give a slight snicker, Yamata says "well nice to meet you Soren, my name is Yamata uchiha, and these are my partners in crime" I notice Yamata has silver hair must have died it, and red eyes. Yamata introduces his posse first giving showing a kid with white hair and black eyes "This is my brother Nero Uchiha" Nero waves a hand toward me and says"hey nice to meet you" Yamata then introduces a kid with black hair who seems familiar "this here is Akane Tetzu" I notice the last name and ask "you wouldn't be related to a Yasuke Tetzu would you" Akane gives a grin and says "yeah he's my little brother, how do you know him" I respond "oh I'm friends with Neon and Kurono" Akane gives a nod knowing who they are and asks "What about Naja there" I side glance at her, she gives me a make a joke and die look so I give a nonchalant answer "Lets just say that me and her have some personality issues between eachother" Akane replies with "ah, heh" Yamata then shows the last one who moves to the front of the group he towers over me and gives a presence that says don't f with this guy he says "Hi, my name is Kinta Inuzuka" I notice his purple eyes first with no pupils that comes off as wierd then notices his fangs when he smiles at me then know why he gives off that presence. I say without any hesitation in my voice "nice to meet you Kinta, Akane, Nero and Yamata, my name is Soren Nagahara" Yamata looks at me shocked but his face then turns to his normal face and asks "Are you related to the same Nagahara's that run the International Trade business Nagahara's" I reply "yeah the one and the same, though my dad is kind of the forgotten son since he rebeled and tryed working for himself" Yamata then says "Ah well Nice to meet you Soren Nagahara I believe we will meet again" I reply "looking forward to it" As they leave and round the corner I give a glance at Naja who was silent the whole time, but has a slight smile and a reddness in her cheeks, I point my thumb to where they left and ask her "So they the school delinquints" She immidiatly loses her smile and glares at me saying "don't roll them in with some two bit thugs they are nice and kind, even though they skip class, most people get along with them fine" I reply "So they are basically delinquints who smile nicely" Naja continues to glare at me but then sighs and looks down at the ground "yeah they are" but turns back to me and says "but don't you insult them or your going to have to deal with me" I give her a kind smile and say "fine, fine I won't say anything bad about *girly voice* yamata-san" Naja blushes but says "you really do like punishment don't you" she raises a fist but I say "sorry, sorry I apoligize" she looks at me with a slightly suprised look and says "good" right then the bell rings for end of classes, the students start pouring out of the classrooms, Kurono and Neon come out I ask "So how was class" Kurono replies "boring as usual you didn't miss much except the notes I'll let you copy mine when schools over" I give him a "thanx" the teacher comes out and gives us a come here sign with his index finger, me and naja give him the buckets and he gives us the don't disturb class speech. Then me and Naja exit the class and see Neon and Kurono waiting for us. Naja says "bye you two got to get to class" Naja looks then at me and sticks her tongue out and squints then races off to her seperate class. Me Kurono and Neon then head to our class Kurono asks me "so what happened while you guys were out there" I reply " I met Yamata and his gang" Kurono gives a "oh, the delinquints, you know my cousin has a crush on Yamata right" I reply with "yeah hard to notice her change in attitude" Kurono gives me a chuckle and says "yeah but they are pretty nice guys being delinquints." I reply "yeah they seem to be, btw whats the story about Yamata and his brother they look nothing alike" Kurono looks from side to side to see if they are listening and says "well actually they aren't blood related they are actually adopted from the same orphanage by the Uchihas, I heard that they were good friends in the orphanage and now they act just like brothers" I acknowledge the info and ask "what are there real Surnames" Kurono replies "well yamata's real last name is Yuoki, and I think Nero's surname is Cafan" I respond with "never heard of those two families" Neon puts in his words of wisdom by saying "I heard from a reliable source that they both are the last of their own family names I think that both there parents were killed" I respond "wow how tragic, well you can tell me the rest later" Kurono gives a "yeah lets get to class." we enter the class room and sit down listening to Japanese Literature.

Have you ever thought to yourself in the middle of a lecture, how many minutes will it take for me to fall asleep, then how many minutes it would take for the teacher to notice and wake you up. I did but didn't go to sleep. Anyway back to the story.
Me, Kurono and Neon are sitting near eachother, and try to stay awake betting who falls asleep first. None of us do but as the bell rings we had wished we had. We pack up our stuff and head out the door. Kurono says to me as we walk down the hall "hey I want you to meet someone he's a good guy and it would do you good to get to know him" I respond "oh, how would it be good for me, is he rich" Kurono replies "no, you'll see" Kurono and Neon lead me down the steps and head toward a building that reads Hanoko High Tae Kwon do Dojo, Kurono opens the door and takes off his shoes, and steps on to the Dojo floor bowing first before entering as does Neon. I copy their actions and bow as well. Kurono and Neon lead me over to the side as a guy that is about the size of Kinta with muscles rippling across his arms, he teaches the class alongside who appears to be the sensei. The class does a simple routine of warming up by doing kicks and punches. The Muscled guy notices Kurono, Neon and me but continues till he feels they are all warmed up. he tells the students "alright people work on your throws don't care which, pair up and take turns" the students move off and do just that, the muscled guy then whispers to his sensei who nods his head. The muscled guy comes over to me, Kurono, and Neon. Kurono says "Soren I'd like you to meet Kai Kobayashi" Kai responds with a open hand offering to shake my hand which I do and say "Hello Kai, my name is Soren Nagahara" Kai replies "nice to meet you Soren what brings you here" I reply "well these two said that you were one person I had to meet" Kai looks at Neon and Kurono with a raise in his eyebrow and says "heh, I'm guessing your the new guy, what would you expect to think why they said something about me" I think a little then reply "probably because they believe that since I'm the new guy I will be picked on and think I need to know someone who knows martial arts to keep from doing so" Neon and Kurono look at eachother with a guilty look. Kai asks "Well what do you say then Soren" I reply "I'd prefer a friend then a bodyguard, I try to keep away from bullying types and am quite good at it." Kai smiles and feels reassured that I'm not there just to ask for the strongest guy on campus's name so I can say that he's my friend so people will leave me alone. Kai says "well thats an answer I like, good to have you Soren" I respond "likewise" Kai looks me over once and I notice a twinkle in his eye he says "would you like to spar Soren" I say with a shock on my face "uh I'd prefer to keep our relationship non-combative since we just met, plus I don't want to be known to have picked a fight with the Tae Kwon do champ and got his ass knocked out" Kai responds " don't worry I will go easy on you" I reply "I don't know any Tae kwon do" Kai says "I insist" I look over at Kurono, and Neon who give me a why not shrug, ~I know this is a bad idea~ I say "fine I'll spar with you, do I have to put on a gi or come as I am." Kai is excited and says "nope just come as you are I'll ask the sensei if its ok" Kai runs over to the sensei and as I saw it asks if he can, I think to myself~ just throw in a couple punches dodge some of my own then get thrown on I disagree that might satisfy his need to kick everybodies ass to make himself feel stronger~ Kai jogs back and says "well he says we can move to the back mat so we can spar" I respond with a "fine" I am lead to the back mat and a crowd forms around the mat I think to myself ~great~

Looking back on this situation I realize that there is no actual way to lose with dignity, and even if you try something or someone screws it up. Back to the fight
I know that this is not going to be one of my most favored moments I know that just by seeing Kai. I step out onto the ring I am given offered a head protector but I wisp the offer away, I want to make this quick as possible then get out of there with a smile. The sensei steps out onto the mat and nods to Kai and me, we bow to each other the sensei shouts the go signal. I think to myself ~well here goes nothing, literally~ Kai charges at me and tries kicking me in the side, I step back and avoid it then try half hazardly punching Kai who blocks it and returns with a jump kick to my face, I dodge by a centimeter but act like I got hit and jump upwards and hit the mat flat on my back, I get up and ready for the next attack but when I look at Kai he is looking at me with a disappointed look on his face. I ask “what” Kai looks at me with a stare and says “are you playing with me?” I return his question with “I told you I don’t want to fight you the only thing you’re looking for is a win correct” Kai replies “I was looking for a good fight, but you are just making me look like a fool” I respond with “ I’m sorry I’m just trying to end this quickly” Kai looks at me with an evil grin and says “well I’m going full force if you don’t take me seriously your going to wind up in the hospital now come” with those words I felt the air pressure become more dense. ~great, now I have to fight him~ Kai rushes at me with an insane amount of speed, I am nearly caught off guard with a flying kick to my face, I duck just in time and turn around as Kai waits to see what I will do. I tell him “fine you want serious, you got serious” I take off my school jacket so as not to get blood on it, taking off my jacket revealed my black undershirt, but it also revealed scars from numerous fights and encounters with hooligans across my arms and some revealed on my back. Kai looks at my arms is shocked for a split second then smiles seeming to have pride in himself for spotting a good fight. The crowd that gathered just stared at my scars, Kurono and Neon also look at the scars; look at each other almost as if asking each other if either of them knew.
I charge with a surprising amount of speed and punches at Kai’s face he too surprised by my increase in speed gets hit and stumbles but regains his self and regains his stance knowing now what type of fighter he faced. I continue to rush and throw a kick at Kai, not surprised by my speed anymore he catches my leg and throws me behind him, though as soon as he let go of my leg I turned in midair and tried axe kicking him, though he dodges grabbing my leg and forcing me toward him and punches my chest I feel a cracking, and a searing pain but just before it goes full force punch I turn deflecting half the power away from my ribs and am dropped to the floor but I land on my feet and try tripping Kai with a scissor kick, he jumps above my foot, me knowing this would happen I hand stand quickly and use my Arms to propel me to kick Kai in the face, he brings his head back to dodge the kick and aim for my side and tries punching my back thankfully I twist my torso in time to have the blow come close but not hit my back, as I move upwards I bend slightly to not put my ribs in any more unnecessary stress, I move above Kai’s head and somersault in midair and try donkey kicking him in the back of the head, though Kai catches both my feet and tries throwing me over his head, I move to his front but holds his neck and use the momentum of Kai’s throw to throw him behind me myself which succeeds but Kai lands on his feet. Me and him then charge at each other I karate chop toward Kai’s jugular vein which would crush it, Kai throws a power punch at my face which would bash my skull and the bits of skull would cut my brain killing me, I stop my attack 1 cm from his neck, and Kai stops his attack 1 cm from my nose. The whole hall falls silent, the only noise is mine and Kai’s breathing, after a couple of seconds Kai smiles, I return the smile and we start to laugh returning our weapons to our sides. Kai still laughing tells me “heh that was a great fight, I knew I saw a fighter’s spirit in you.” I reply with “yeah, you’re a great fighter, been a long time since I had to get serious in my fighting.” Kai rubs his cheek and says “heh, I’m going to look like half a beaver with your punch” as I laugh I clutch my side and say “heh, if I didn’t half dodge your punch I would be breathing through a tube.” Kai laughs slightly and offers his hand which I take and shake while shaking Kai says “come back for a rematch anytime” I laugh slightly and reply “yeah when I want to visit the hospital I will come see you” we laugh release our hands, and bow to each other. I grab my school jacket and head toward the exit, Kurono and Neon still a little shocked at seeing my sudden martial arts skill come and join me while I put on my school jacket tenderly.
As we exit the dojo we bow and put on our shoes then start to head to the school building but I stop and tell the two “hey go on ahead I need to talk with Kai a bit meet me in the nurse’s office.” The two nod to me then head to the school building. I stay there while I see them move out of hearing distance, I close my eyes and say “you can come out Naja” Naja comes out from the corner of the dojo and walks over to me and asks “How long did you know I was watching you” I reply “when I got hit in the chest I glanced at the exit and saw you watching through the crowd heads.” Naja looks unimpressed by this, we start walking toward the nurse’s office I ask Naja when we get halfway to the school building “So what were you going to say to me before Yamata came” Naja takes a quick look at me and replies “I was going to say that the reason I was staring at you when in class was because I saw you jump out your window of your apartment I was wondering how you could be so agile, but now I know.” As me and Naja walk up the steps to the second floor where the school doctor’s office is she looks at me with a curious look so I ask “what” she replies with her own question of “aren’t you injured” I look at her and say “yeah it feels like a couple of cracked ribs, why?” she replies “well for someone who is that injured you don’t seem to give any indication that you are injured.” I look away and smile as we get to the top step, as we move down the hallway I answer her saying “Lets just say that I have had my ribs cracked before and after that experience I know the do’s and don’ts of being injured like this and have learned to cope and deal with it correctly.” Naja thinks over the information and tries to figure out how I broke my ribs first time around.
As she ponders I open the door with slight force I see Kurono and Neon there sitting in chairs, and I see a girl in a nurse’s outfit not much younger then I am. She comes over and greets the both of us by saying “Hello, is there something wrong because the doctor is out at the moment.” I tell her the predicament “ah well I just need to be bandaged around my chest tightly I think you could do that” she looks at me and asks “why whats wrong” Naja intervenes before I can answer saying “He broke three ribs” The girl looks shocked and asks me “How come your walking around then you should be in a wheelchair till you heal!” I look at Naja wondering why she is making my predicament sound so severe, I give her my answer “ Its not really broken ribs they are just cracked” she relaxes a bit and says “well that’s definitely better then being broken but you should be taking it easy” I reply “ heh don’t worry I’ve dealt with things like this before” the nurse then asks my name seeing that she doesn’t recognize me by saying “Can I please ask your name I need it in my report for the doctor” I reply “ since you asked me would you be willing to give me your name first” she looks at me and realizes her untraditional action and says “I’m sorry, my name is Aina Furuhata I’m a nurse in training please allow me to help you” she bows after saying this, I answer her by saying “and my name is Soren Nagahara, I accept your help” I bow slightly she asks me to take off my school jacket and undershirt to wrap the bandages properly, as I take off my school jacket Aina and Naja look at the scars on my arm, Aina seeming to be a little afraid what she might find but nods to continue and I take off my undershirt Aina and Naja stare at the Purple and Black mark where Kai hit me. Aina looks over it having her fingers get close but not touching it, she asks me “were you in a fight when this happened?” I answer “yeah I met with Kai and we sparred, we kind of got serious” Aina immediately asks “Is Kai-san injured as badly as you” I look at her with surprise as to the urgency in her voice and say “No the worst he probably got was a swollen cheek, if that” as she hears the answer she gives a sigh of relief. I remember this display of emotion before and ask “how do you know Kai-kun” Aina looks at me with curiosity brimming with the sudden familiarity in my voice when saying Kai’s name and replies “He used to come in often with injuries and we talked a lot he is a really nice guy so I don’t want to see a friend get hurt” I think to myself ~might be more then friendship that she feels~ while I am thinking this she says “let me get the bandages” she walks to a supply closet and grabs some bandage wrap and is about to start but the door slams open revealing a kid about Aina’s age holding another kid about Aina’s age, the kid being held seems to have water dripping off his hair.
Aina looks over and asks “what happened to him” the guy holding the other said “we were swimming after school and he was drowning can you save him.” Aina looks over at me then back to the wet hair kid and says “Hey Naja can you wrap Soren’s chest while I take care of this” Aina throws the bandage wrap to Naja who catches the bandage wrap, Naja looks at the bandage wrap then looks back at Aina looking surprisingly angry for a split second then started wrapping the bandage around my chest. Aina motions for the kid to put the drowned kid on a cot. Aina puts her head on his chest to hear his heartbeat. I notice a slight redness in his cheeks I smile to myself and shake my head knowing full well what the kid is up to. Aina then cranes his head up to reveal his neck, Aina gets closer about to perform mouth to mouth. Aina pregnant dog slaps the kid, the kid immediately wakes up says “what the hell, why’d you hit me, what if I actually drowned” while this was happening Naja continued to bandage my chest both of us already knowing the actions occurring beforehand. Neon and Kurono though seem to be a little struck with a laugh. Back to Aina who says “ Your in your school uniform did you change your clothes before or after you drowned, plus the fact that your hair is wet but your face and clothes are all dry as a bone.” The fake drowned kid exclaims “Hey I was doing you’re a favor if you saved a drowning kid and reported it you would get rep from the doctor” Aina puts a finger to the middle of her forehead crossing her arms and saying “malpractice is a high offence I would not be able to even touch a stethoscope if I faked a report” I give a slight chuckle and ask “so you going to introduce us or should I just assume that your lovers” Aina and the kid look over at me Aina introduces the kid by saying “ This is my childhood friend Gengetsu Suchiimu, and this is his friend Ysia Haisuga” They both raise their hands slightly when there name is called I say “I’m Soren Nagahara hopefully next time we meet will be under different circumstances.” Naja finishes wrapping my chest I look over it and it looks as if a professional did it. I thank Aina for helping me, and say “see you later and nice to meet you” Aina bows and shows us to the door as she talks to Gengetsu. I walk beside Naja, Kurono and Neon in silence. Kurono breaks the silence by asking “ok, how come you never told us you knew martial arts” I look at Kurono and with a smile say “you never asked” Kurono then asks Neon “did you know” Neon replies “no I found out same as you did” Kurono then looks at Naja, she says “yeah I had a suspicion he did martial arts but I think he is more then just a martial artist.” Kurono looks at Naja asking “you don’t mean…” Naja then finishes his sentence by saying “yes I do” she moves in front of me and asks seriously “Soren, have you undergone the Aug-man project?”

I stopped in my tracks, my eyes widen and I ask her quietly “How do you know of that project?” Naja replies with a sigh of acknowledgement and says “Because Me, my cousin, Neon and I think Yasuke have all gone through said project, now back to my original question have you undergone such a project?” I look over from Naja to Kurono and then to Neon who both nod to my questioning look, I look back at Naja who says “well have you or have you not?” I reply with a sigh and say “yeah, I was forced to go through the project by my parents” Naja looks astonished not knowing that I was forced, I see such a reaction and ask “were you forced?” Naja shakes her head no, I look over at Kurono and Neon who shake their heads as well. Naja asks “I’m sorry I didn’t know, if I may what abilities did they give you?” I answer her “I was given increased agility and metabolism, including a control over the wind, what about you?” Naja answers “I was given increased adrenaline potency and striking ability, plus control over lightning.” Kurono then offers in his input by saying “I have increased reasoning ability and muscle memory, plus control over water.” Neon then follows with his abilities by saying “My project manager gave me increased willpower and endurance for pain, I was given control over earth preferably sand.” After hearing this I ask “what about Yasuke?” Kurono replies “I don’t know about his physical abilities but he has control over fire.” I walk by Naja with my hand on my chin thinking over what I had just heard. Naja looks back at the two of the others and all three trot toward me, Naja asks “Why or how were you forced” I gave her a quick reply by saying “My parents drugged me and the next thing I remember I am hooked up to a machine with a guy in a lab coat scribbling on a clipboard”
I ask with my own question “why what happened with you three” Kurono going first says “well me and Naja volunteered for the proceedings because we were young at the time and thought the project would make us kind of superhero-ish.” I look over at Neon for his input, he gives his description by saying “I also volunteered because I was being picked on, and we don’t know what happened with Yasuke.” I move along the hallway still going through the information I just listened to and wondering whether this school has a connection to the Aug-man project, or it is just a coincidence. Neon asks curiously “Are your parents really, a lawyer and a Software Designer, or was that lie?” I slow down slightly and look at Neon and say “partially, they are dead, they used to be a lawyer and a software designer for the company that created the Aug-man project.” The three stop in their tracks shocked at what they just heard, Neon replies with “I’m sorry I didn’t know.” I give him a reassurance answer by saying “Its fine they weren’t exactly the best parents in the world they mostly were away form home and told me nothing about the work they did, just that they were a lawyer and software designer.” They follow me again as we descend the stairs I slide my hands into my pockets, Kurono asks “Soren, do you regret the procedure?” After some thought to the question I reply “I did while my parents were still alive but now it helps me in situations that I need it.” Kurono then asks “How did your parents die, and who is taking care of you now” without looking at him I reply “they were caught in a traffic collision, and my grandparents are funding my schooling, and I take odd jobs for anything else.” As I touch the bottom step I turn to them and say “I’ll see you later I need to go home and heal for tomorrow” Naja perplexed asks “You mean your going to be fully healed tomorrow?” I smirk and reply “yeah its one benefit from having an increased metabolism” I say my good byes and head home, As I open my apartment door I throw my backpack onto my lounge chair having no homework that day, I take off my school jacket and throw it on my desk chair, I then get on my bed and get into a meditative pose and focus my metabolism to work on my ribs as my metabolism works I slip into a state of dreamless sleep resting my body.
I wake up the next morning full of energy, I feel my chest to see if my ribs are healed and they seem to have healed nicely. I then get up and unwrap the bandages from under my under-armor, I see that even the skin from where Kai punched me has healed and no sign of the fist mark. I take my shower and then quickly get ready for the Saturday school day. As I am in the middle of putting the supplies in my backpack I hear “hey Soren you coming” I quickly stuff everything I need in my backpack and then open the kitchen window and look down to see Kurono, Naja, Neon and Yasuke all looking up at me. I say “be right down” Yasuke looks at the door to my apartment, but I take the window, I run and jump through it spinning in mid-air, using the wind to cushion me, slowing my velocity and letting me touch down on the ground with one foot. Yasuke does a double take not realizing that I was right next to him he exclaims with a start “what, when,… how did you do that” I look at him with a shift in my eyebrow then look at the other three and say “I guess you didn’t tell him” Kurono rubs the back of his head and smiles, Naja uses her finger and scratches her chin with a guilty look on her face, Neon just coughs and tries to avoid my gaze. I then explain to him shortly “I was put in the Aug-Man project, I got increased metabolism and agility, plus control over the wind.” Yasuke then settles down by saying “oh” we then travel toward the school grounds and talk over the things I explained last night. As we enter the school grounds and head up the stairs, I open the door and a blur knocks into me, I get one quick glance at the person who knocked into me, and I see a beautiful girl with dark purple hair, and a rushed expression on her face, she is in such a hurry she doesn’t even notice knocking into me. I look down and notice a notebook on the top step; I bend down and pick it up. I then ask “who was that beautiful girl that just knocked into me?” Kurono has an odd look on his face but says “oh, her I don’t know much about her but…” Naja interrupts by saying “yeah right, you’ve had a crush on her since junior high.” I give Kurono a smirk, then turn back to Naja and ask “again who was she?” Naja puts her hand over Kurono’s face to stop him from talking and she says “Her name is Ilda Kurai, she’s rich, number one student in the school, and the girl that all the guys have a crush on” saying the last bit with a bit of envy in her voice.
I rub my chin pretending it’s a beard, Naja gets a little annoyed and says “don’t tell me your falling for her as well Soren” I look at her slyly, she raises her fist and gives me a cautionary look, I get the message and say “heh don’t worry just wondering how guys can bring up the courage to even ask her out” Naja replies “they usually don’t” Kurono then buts in finally by saying “she’s not only the things that Naja said but what I have heard she has the personality of an angel” We then move to our class, Yasuke goes off to his class and Kurono, Neon, Naja and I head off to our class. The class goes off without a hitch, when the lunch bell rings we exit the class, as I round the corner Ilda nearly runs into me again, she then starts to run past me but I call out to her “Ilda Kurai?” She stops in her tracks and so does every guy in a 10 meter area which all stare at me. Ilda asks as she turns around “um yes” I dig into my backpack and reveal the notebook she dropped and say “I believe you dropped this when you bumped into me on the stairs” offering her the book she looks at it and delicately but quickly takes it out of my hand and says “um thank you very much …. I’m sorry I don’t know who you are” I bow to her and say “My name is Soren Nagahara I moved here about a week ago” Ilda bows to me in response and says “Thank you Soren-san, I appreciate it” she gives me a kind smile and I think to myself ~now I get it~ The sea of crowd parts as a boy that looks like High class person he spots Ilda and says “ah there you are Ilda my dear did you find your notebook” Ilda turns toward the newcomer and says “yes I did Allan-kun” The aura around me becomes tense and a slight bit hostile, I turn and see that Kurono has a look of slight envy about him, Ilda then says “Thanks to Soren-san who found it.” Allan guessing his name he says “Well thank you Soren-san, I appreciate your help, *turning toward Ilda* shall we go my dear” Ilda says “Hai” The two of them head off and the crowd goes about its business.
We start heading toward the roof but before I can ask who Allan-kun is I see a white and Orange rectangular prism shaped rod coming down on my head, I take my right arm and push Naja to the side as I dodge it and smacks on the ground revealing a lanky kid about Allan’s age with dirty blonde hair and a lightly freckled face holding what appears to be a plastic yard stick that looks like something that was stolen from a classroom. He looks up at me with a glare, I have no idea who he is and don’t know why he is glaring. The kid straightens up and says “What you said to Ilda-chan is a lie isn’t it” I look at him oddly hearing a slight British accent, I ask “What do you mean” he then gets close to my face and says “What you said to her saying “I found this while I bumped into you blah blah” but what you really did was take it from her backpack and make an opportunity for you demon.” The kid throws me a similar yard stick and goes for a side slice to my previously injured side, I take the yard stick and block it with the tip of the yard stick, he then brings it back and tries once more for a overhead strike to my head I meet his strike half-way and ask “ I did pick it up on the stairs, why would I try to make an opportunity for whatever you are thinking I just met her, only knew she even existed this morning” The lanky kid gives a questionable look on his face but puts his Yard stick to his side and says “fine, but who are you and we will see if you aren’t a demon” I say to him “I’m Soren Nagahara, the question is who are you and who was that leading Ilda away” the lanky kid gives me a look of suspicion and says “I’m Glade Shishimaru, childhood friend to the alleged princess of Hanoko high, and that heathen is Allan Dazul, the boyfriend of the aforementioned princess.”

I look back at where Ilda was thinking ~hmm, its not really odd for a school to have a European exchange student, but three, hmm somethings going on in my school, though it might be just coincidence.~ Glade gets a little imaptient and raps me on the shoulder with his yard stick. He says "I don't like being ignored" I reply "sorry, about that just thinking on something of my own predictions, so you have been childhood friends with Ilda-san and your jealous of Al-san" Glade looks at me with a slightly angered look and says "I'm not jealous, I just think that their are better people out their for her then Al-san." I back off a little bit not wanting to fight with more people that I don't need to I say "ok, I gotcha, we kind of need to get to our next class so I will probably see you in the halls later." Glade "right, bye" Glade trudges off around a corner most likely to keep an eye on his love interest. Me and the others walk to our second class.
As we walk toward our second class Naja pokes at my thoughts before leaving Glade by asking "So what were you thinking about during your talk with Glade" I look at her at reply with a nonchalant smile "oh nothing, just a feeling I have about the basis of this school" Kurono seeming interested asks "What feeling would that be?" I look at him and say "Its just a feeling really it might be a coincidence but if I find any more proof on my feeling I'll tell you guys" Kurono and Naja still curious but don't push the issue, they and myself get to our second classroom our homeroom at the end of the week.
I, Naja, Kurono, and Neon get seats close to eachother and begin to chat, soon enough our homeroom teacher enters and gives a loud cough to get the classes attention. All four of us look at the teacher and get back into a forward onlooking position. The teacher looks over the entire class then says with a proud voice "We have a new student joining our ranks, he maybe young but he is a genius so don't make him feel bad about choosing this school" The door slides open and in walks a very young looking kid about 12-13 years of age with circle lens glasses on, and brownish grey hair he enters with sory of a proud walk, most likely to give the impression that he is in fact smarter then everyone else. The kid moves to the center of the room with his book bag carried on his left side. The teacher introduces the kid by saying "This is Genkai Aburame, he will be here for the remainder of this school semester and on, tell us a little about yourself Genkai-kun." Genkai survey's the group of students that he will be impressing and says "As you know my name is Genkai Aburame, I live with my parents near the school and I was born in the United Kingdom...."
I was shocked to find out that this kid was another European exchange student. Genkai continues by saying " I consider Math, and Language to be my best subjects and I like solving problems in my spare time" The teacher says "Thank you, Genkai-kun you may be seated wherever you like" Genkai took the very front seat in the middle of the row which happened to be right in front of me. The class doesn't encounter any suprises except for numerous accounts of display from Genkai and his advanced intellect. As the ending school bell sounds the teacher says this "please don't forget to treat Genkai with the utmost kindness, as if he was your own kin, you are dismissed" Me, Naja, Kurono, and Neon get up and head to the hall. Though as soon as we were about to round a corner a voice came from the entrance to our classroom "excuse me you four may I have a word with you." I and the others turn around to find Genkai being the owner of the voice.
I look at the others, Kurono shrugs basically saying nonverbally "why not" Me and the others head back toward where Genkai is Naja asks "What do you want" Genkai thingys his eye at Naja saying " I just wanted to know why you *pointing at me* seemed to become shocked when it was mentioned that I was born in the United Kingdom"
I look over at Kurono and Naja then Neon giving them a look that said "My feeling was right" They get it but don't ask about it holding off till later. I reply "oh nothing really just something beforehand not really involving you really, but may I ask why did you pick this school" Genkai looks at me with a wary look not the trusting type but replies anyway " It wasn't really my idea, I actually have completed high school but my mother wished me to come to this school, saying that this is the best school for you at the moment. So I had to comply with mother's wishes." I then realize that this is not some mere coincidence this was planned, my thoughts confirmed I nearly ask genkai if I can talk to him later but soon as I was about to Ilda comes rounding the corner, then an idea strikes me I call out "Hey Ilda-san" Ilda stops in her tracks and looks over at me and says "oh hello Soren-san how are you?" I reply "I'm good, btw this is Genkai-kun who just transferred to our class" Ilda looks at Genkai and gets an adoring face on well her face.
Genkai looks at Ilda and asks "what" Ilda quickly reaches down picking up Genkai and hugging him tightly saying "ohhhhh he's so cute" Kurono's jaw just drops, Neon has a look of pure shock both not seeing Ilda-chan like this. I have a slightly humourous look on my face trying not to laugh, Naja also seemed to hold her hand over her mouth to try and keep herself from laughing. Genkai seems to blush due to having someone hug him suddenly he says "hey, hey what are you doing" Ilda continues to hug him tightly like a teddy bear, but then realizes that she was embarrassing him and puts him down. Ilda says "I'm sorry about that, I couldn't help myself" Genkai looks at her still blushing says with an embarrased look on his face "well next time warn me, before doing something like that please" Ilda replies "alright *smiling brightly*, I'll try to warn you next time" I then ask Ilda what I wanted to ask her coughing to repress my laughter I say "anyway Ilda-san, I was wondering that since you are on the student council can you do a favor for me?" Ilda remembering the book incident she replies "sure, what can I do for you."
I ask "Well, the school has a report of the people that give donations to this school and such correct?" Ilda says "yes I believe they do" I look over at Neon who looks curious, then Kurono who seems to get where I'm going with this, as does Naja. I then say "can I see it, their is something I want to confirm" Ilda looks curiously and asks "what for?" I reply by saying "oh its just I think my grandfather gave a donation to this school and wondering if he did or not." Ilda seeing no harm in it says "alright, but I won't be able to give you it today, the earliest would be on monday" I nod my head and say "thats fine, I was expecting to wait that long" Ilda then says "alright, is there anything else?" I give a shake of my head saying "no, but thanks for doing this, it means alot" Ilda gives me a smile and says "of course you did give me my book back this morning." I reply "true, well we have to get going, I have to talk to my friends a little before I head home, I'm sure you have stuff to do as well."
Ilda replies "yes I do thank you for reminding me" Ilda then trots to the end of the hall saying "See you monday Soren-san." I reply "you too." Ilda then gives a slight wave to Genkai saying "goodbye, Chibi-kun." as Ilda turns the corner, I try to hold back the laughter but can't help myself. Genkai looks embarrassed with a slight bit of shock saying "Chibi-kun, d**n now that nickname is going to spread." Naja starts laughing, though still being kind and saying "don't worry..haha... I'm sure that she won't go spreading it around" Genkai looks down and says "I guess, well I have to go, my mother doesn't like me staying later then I need to, see you later" Genkai goes to the opposite direction in which Ilda went.
As Genkai turns the corner Neon asks "Why did you need to see the donations report Soren-kun" I reply as I head out of the school grounds saying "Well, don't you find it wierd that their are this many foreign exchange students in this school" Neon replies "not really, it could just be a coincidence" I shake my head and say "Thats what I though previously, but with Genkai coming out of the blue, my thoughts about this school were confirmed" Neon asks "and that is?" I reply "That this school is no ordinary school, its for specific people." Neon continues to question my thoughts by asking "How come you think that, its just an ordinary school?" I look at him with a serious face and ask "Do you know why Genkai was the key factor in my confirmation" Neon says "no I don't" I say putting my hands in my pockets "Genkai saying that he finished highschool means he should be in a college class, so why pick this school? Its not really prestigous, my grandparents only sent me here cause it was affordable and had good reviews, or so I think." Neon goes over the information but still has a couple more questions asking "Then what schools do you expect Genkai to be in, I'm not really familiar with the top-schools." I reply "The schools that I see Genkai in are, Oxford, Standford or Yale. They are really prestigous schools in America and Oxford in Great Britain." Neon then asks "Still why do you need the donations page" I give him the last answer for this day saying "Because, if I am right then their should be some group that has either founded this school, or has given multiple donations to this school, and thats what I will find out on monday." Me, Kurono, Naja, and Neon continue to talk but about other things, we agree to meet up at a local coffee shop and diner midday tommorrow. I seperate at the usual intersection from them, and head off toward home. As I walk up the stairs I see Yamata in front of my door.

I look interested that Yamata is standing outside my door so I say "Hello Yamata", Yamata replies "Hello, Soren." I stare at him for a bit wondering if he is going to make a move or say something, he not doing so I ask "so what brought you here, to my house of all places?" Yamata still staring at me replies "Well, I just wanted to confirm something" I reply with a smile "That I have undergone the Aug-man project same as you?" Yamata thingys his eye, possibly his way of displaying shock, he asks "How did you know I also have undergone the Aug-man project?" I reply " I didn't you just confirmed my thoughts, about our school."
Yamata looks at me rejudging his opinion of me and says "So you know?" I reply "I have about 85% of the whole story, I asked a friend to get the donations page for me to get at least 5% more of the story." Yamata nods, agreeing with my tactics, Yamata then asks "Soren, since you are an Aug can you come with me and my posse to investigate a factory that might be a potential Aug-man base?" I look interested and ask "when are you going to do this?" Yamata replies "Tomorrow night around 10:00p.m. at the old worn down mansion." I remember passing such a building on my way to school a couple of times so I nod that I will come, Yamata bids me farewell, and I enter my apartment throwing my book bag in my desk chair, and plopping down to play Super Smash Bros. Brawl. After a couple of hours of playing I do my homework for next week then head to bed, going to sleep straight away.
Knowledge and Strength, the two fundamental instincts that drive a human to pursue a goal with boundless recklessness and perseverance, What makes man strive to such lengths? To protect their loved ones, to possibly be shown as the greatest to strive to such a dream, or could it possibly be just having such a goal gives a person the energy to persevere? Sunday-
I wake up from my dreams slowly, not needing to set my alarm for school, I look over at it with a yawn, it shows 9:30 a.m. in red letters. I stretch and get out of my bed, I take my shower, putting on a black t-shirt and blue jeans and then eat some Reese's puffs for Breakfast. As I clean up I notice the clock says 10:25. I clean up and relax by watching some T.V. till time comes to go to the diner. I watch a couple of comedy stand ups, and a episode of Scrubs, then look at the clock that shows 11:30 a.m. I collect my stuff for the night I would need, and put it on my lounge chair, I then head to the diner.
When I get to the Diner, I see that my friends aren't their yet looking through a window. I look at my watch and it shows 11:50. I enter the diner, and go up to the waitress at the front desk. She asks "Hello welcome, how many in your party?" I answer her "five but they aren't here at the moment, coming in a couple of minutes though." The waitress nods and says "Well then I'm sorry then your going to have to wait in the waiting area until the rest of your party arrives, sorry about the inconvenience." I say "don't worry about it, I don't mind" I then take a seat on a bench in the waiting area. After a couple of minutes the entrance opens to show Neon, in a black and tan hoody, with some corduroy pants, I motion to him as he sees my hand he comes over and takes a seat, I give him the run down and that we have to wait for the others.
After about a minute or two Kurono comes in wearing a blue button up shirt with collar and black pants, with Naja who is in a black sweater and a purple skirt. I stand up and look at Naja she sees me looking and says "What, is there something wrong?" I chuckle with a smile and say "no, nothings wrong you just look way better in casual clothes" Naja thingys her eye blushing a little but says with an attitude "Oh, then guess I should wear my school uniform for often then" I laugh at her joke, we three sit down next to Neon as we wait for Yasuke. after about 3 minutes yasuke arrives in a orange shirt and blue pants.
I move to the waitress at the front and say "we are all here" The waitress nods counting the number of people then motioning us to follow her. We are seated in a booth, me, Yasuke and Pie on one side and Naja and Kurono on the other. We order some coffee and some lunch. We start chatting with eachother then we heard a deafening scream of joy, we look out the window our booth was was up against and we see a red-haired fresh faced girl that looked not much older then Genkai. She seemed to be looking at Kurono with figuratively hearts in her eyes. Kurono kind of has a sheepish awkward hi on his face, I ask "Uh someone you know Kurono?" Naja chuckles a little bit and says "heh your going to love this Soren" The girl enters the diner with a burst of energy and runs straight toward our booth but slips on some wet spot near our table and careens to the other end slipping and crashing into another person's table.
I just watch and am perplexed to what this newcomer is doing, she stumbles out from under the table and wipes her self off, and rubbing her head, she then slowly gets to Kurono's table, the whole restaurant staring at her. The youthful red-haired girl (thats right I used a lee term what of it) gets to our table and says "hello Kurono-senpai" I look a little humorful looking at Naja who says "yeah you heard right" Kurono has a less sheepish look on his face and says "Hi Tina-san, are you hurt" Tina looks at Kurono with a smile and says "I'm fine, I am a tough cookie as you should know" Tina then looks at me not knowing who I am she says "sorry I'm already going out with Kurono-senpai". I am stunned by how blunt this girl is and I look at Naja with a wtf look, as I look at Naja's face I see her enjoying herself with my reactions chuckling silently.
Kurono assures Tina by saying "Uh, Tina thats Soren my new friend, and I don't think he wants to ask you out." Tina looks over at me and shouts "well why don't you want to go out with me!" I just look on continuing with my wtf look and say "I like girls my own age, plus your going out with Kurono" Tina then backs off and asks Kurono "Can we have a date now, I have wanted one to for so long" Naja gives me a heads up sign and I look at Kurono who gets up puts his hand on Tina's shoulder whom looks like she is going to pass out from Kurono touching her. Kurono then bows his head and puts on a theatrically sad face and says "I'm sorry Tina-chan but I promised my dear cousin that I would accompany her today" Tina blushing Crimson says shakily "o-oh." Kurono continues by moving behind Tina and putting his arm around her placing his foot on the booth bench and says "but fear not fair maiden the time will come for me to accompany you, so for now please be off so as not to disturb the fellow patrons." Kurono clenches his fist and looks up into the sky. (sorry Kurono always wanted you to do this )
Tina looks over at Naja and company, me keeping my face as emotionless as possible trying not to burst out laughing. Tina then says "a-alright Kurono-sen-pai, I'll see you later then" Kurono holds his hand up and gives a theatre type smile and says "farewell till we meet again" Tina looks back a couple of times and moves out of the diner, Naja watches from the window and after a couple of seconds says "and she's gone" Kurono then slumps his shoulders, the entire diner applauding and laughing from Kurono's performance, I then start to burst out laughing. Kurono gives a sheepish grin and waves to the audience then sits down. The diner then goes back to their usual happenings. After I calm down from laughing I ask "Ok, who the hell is Tina" Kurono smiles a little sheepishly and says "well its a long story and the short version is that she was being bullied one day by this guy named Beowulf. I was passing by and just had him leave the girl alone then she kind of got the notion that I'm her eternal protector and believes I'm her boyfriend." I chuckle slightly at it and then we continue our lunch.
After we got out of the diner it was late in the afternoon around 7 o' clock, as we moved around the town Kurono asks "hey want to have a game night at my house, Soren?" I look at him with the most truthful expression I can come up with and say "sorry I have some stuff to do later on so I won't be able to do it." Kurono looks a little down and says "oh, alright well, we will see you tomorrow." I nod to them and say "alright see you then." I then seperate from my friends actually wanting to play video games with them but I had a previous promise with Yamata. I move to my house, get inside and lock the door, I then move to the center of the room and spread my belongings on the floor around me, and get into a meditative state, setting my alarm for 9:38 so not to be late. The house becomes quiet nothing could be heard from outside the house, an alarm beeps signaling 9:38, then it goes silent, after a couple of minutes a window opens, a dark figure dressed in black from head to toe could be seen inside, the figure jumps out closing the window, a ninja is revived, Soren drops to the street and then uses his agility to get onto the rooftops and heads toward the abandoned mansion, with his rendevouz with Yamata and his posse. But what little did Soren know that a familiar face had just seen him leave his home.

I run along the roofs of the houses, moving toward the mansion thanks to my agility I am able to jump from roof to roof without much trouble. Seeing the Old mansion in site I move across the last roof and get into a tree planted infront of the last house across the street from the mansion. I take out my binoculars and look at the mansion through them to see if there is any sign of Yamata or any of his posse. I not seeing any at my view point jump from the tree landing by a brick post that is part of the wall surrounding the mansion. I peer around it and still no sign of activity.
I backflip over the post landing to face the mansion, I then silently walk toward the entrance. I noticing the door ajar open it wide enough for me to slip through. As I enter I smell a distinctive old smell of cobwebs, and dust. I take in my surroundings of the entrance, taking a few steps forward I see a slightly broken staircase leading up to the 2nd story. Although curious I hear the creaking of the door opening and hear multiple sets of footprints thinking its Yamata and its posse I turn around saying "heh looks like I beat you guys hear....." I see Kurono, Naja, Neon, and Yasuke all at the entrance looking a little curious and slightly mad. I am a little taken back by why they are here but Kurono the least mad looking says "Who, exactly did you beat here again?" I look at him not wanting to give away my intentions for coming here I reply "Why did you guys follow me, I would have thought you would have gone home to sleep or still playing video games." Neon gives the response by saying "We did for a little bit, but we got curious what could be so important that you would skip out on video games with us for."
Just then a door is heard behind me opening, as I turn around Yamata and his posse come out. They seeing me with the others come down, Yamata is the first to speak by saying "Well, it seems we have a few extra people than what I expected Soren." I having no excuse except the truth reply "They kind of followed me, will it cause problems for the mission?" Yamata smiling says "Not at all, I was actually thinking something like this may happen, either they following you here or you wanting them to be part of the mission, so their are no problems." I feel a little relieved but still feel the evil glances of the 4 behind me. Naja expectently asks in a rather soft tone of anger says "So, you were going to do some mission on your own without telling us, do we mean that little to you?" I look at her and say "quite the opposite, I didn't want you guys getting hurt cause of me, it has happened before to me in Kyoto and I don't like feeling guilty for hurting my friends."
The four seem to lessen their anger but a little peeved at me not telling them at least. Yamata then breaks the uncomfortable silence saying "Well, now that all the troops have gathered lets go into the main hall and discuss the plans." I look over my shoulder and follow behind Yamata and his posse as they move into through the door they just opened not too long ago. The others follow me, as we enter a dining area with a chandaleir which has cobwebs all around it, and a big dining table in the middle which has multiple chairs, enough to seat every last one of us. As we sit, Yamata at the head, Kinta and Nero at his left and right, then Naja sits down next to Nero, as Akane takes his place next to Kinta. Kurono and Neon then sit down Kurono next to his cousin and Neon Next to Akane. Me sitting last at the other end opposite Yamata.
Yamata starts things off by explaining the mission to the four intruders. Then he goes over the building plans for the infiltration and what needs to be done. After all this he says "Alright, now for this mission we need to split up into teams of two. I think the best teams for the specific jobs are, Nero and Neon take out the Guards in the front and the outposts along the wall we enter into silently. Then Me and Kurono open a hole in the wall so we can get through. Then Soren and Naja take out the systems that connect to the alarm system and the lights, while Kinta, Akane and Yasuke enter after the alarms and lights have been cut and head for our objective. We then follow afterwards.

I look at Naja, she gives me a why him look. I get a feeling that makes me aware that more then anything she wants to team up with her Yamata-sama, but the teams are very logical in my opinion so I don't complain. Though Naja is more abrasive then me saying "Why do I have to team up with Soren, why can't I be teamed up with someone else." Yamata though smiles at her and says "Soren is the best candidate to be your partner, I'm guessing your element is Wind I take it" I being glad that I'm on his side I nod saying "yeah, among other advantages" Yamata smirks and then continues to gather enough info to make a successful operation. After a little bit more planning on his part Yamata gives the ok signal, we get with our partners and head to the Warehouse.
Me and Naja are nearer to the back, I having done a few intrusions back in Kyoto, have an aura of relaxation and Nostalgia recalling my previous expieriences. I take a quick glance at Naja who seems angry that she was put with me. I don't want to tease her but, give her a smile that says everythings going to be fine. She gives me a STFU look, and I just sigh and continue to follow the others.
We near the Warehouse, Yamata signals for Neon and Nero to take out the gaurds. Nero takes out a hunting knife, while Neon moves behind a building to get a closer view to the Guards. Nero dissapears, appearing right behind one of the guards covering the guards mouth with his hand and then slitting his throat. Before the other guard can even turn around Neon rushes behind the other Guard and puts him in a sleeper hold cutting off his air. The guard's eyes become glazed over as carbon dioxide escapes from his failing breath. The guard collapses Neon being a more gentle fighter lays the Guard down on his shoulder. Neon and Nero both take their victims and put them in a nearby crate inside a building. Then Neon uses his Sand ability to have some sand move up the wall to one of the outposts that a guard is using. Neon silently grabs the Guards face with his sand and Knocks him out by hitting the Guards head against one of the Outpost walls. Nero however jumps inside the outpost and shoves his hunting knife straight into the Guards throat covering the Guards mouth with his hand yet again. They both prop their victims in a chair in the outposts.
Yamata then signals for me and Naja to go, Naja looks at me saying "if you try anything I'll deck you" I just smirk and say "Like I would try something like that" Naja looks apprehensive but allows me to pick her up in my arms. I use my Wind Abilities to run up the side of a building and jumping off, strengthening the Air Currents to support mine and Naja's weight, I then use the Air Currents to Glide to the top of the Warehouse. As I get to the Warehouse I reset the current by letting me drop onto the top of the Warehouse, though me carrying a passenger I strengthen the air ontop of the Warehouse to cushion my fall, landing softly ontop of the Warehouse. I set Naja down who immidiatly moves away from me to a power cord. Naja being not very technical just gives the power cable a good zap. The whole Warehouse becomes Dark.
Kurono and Yamata then go Next. Kurono Uses his Water abilities to seep water into the concrete that is used to hold the bricks together, Yamata then busts a whole in the weakened wall, they both move across the field that connects the outerwall to the main entrance. Kinta, Akane and Yasuke then rush through Kinta busts three Guards by cracking their skulls with his Barbell sized fist. Akane and Yasuke each take out one with a throwing Knife. Kinta then bashes open the Main entrance gates with a resounding kick, then he, Akane and Yasuke move inside. Kurono follows after as does Neon and Nero through the Main Entrance. Yamata radios me and Naja on top of the building saying "we're in move to stage 2 of your objective." I talk into the mouth piece of my headset which connects to the walky talky saying "roger, moving on to stage two." Naja looks at the main entrance from the roof ledge saying "so you going to carry me down?" I chuckle a little bit saying "no need, just come over here." Naja reluctantly moves over towards me asking "what are you going to do?" I just motion my hand to the spot where I want her to stand, she does so though a little curious what the hell I'm going to do. I then stand back to back to her. I tell her "We are going to drop down to the top floor, if you get scared I can hold your hand." I knowing what was going to happen next I duck as I see her fist glide across the top of my head. She slightly peeved crosses her arms. I shrug my shoulders standing up. I create two Swords out of Wind, shoving them into the roof a couple inches from my feet. I make each sword circle around me and Naja from opposite directions. when the two swords meet, me and Naja drop down. three Guards armed with Sub-machine guns aim at me and Naja, however me expecting this fires off 6 arrows at the three Guards. 1 arrow each hits the inside barrel of the guns plugging it up the wind resistance on the gun powder when the Guard pulls the trigger sends the bullet out the backside of the guns. The other arrows hit the Guards in the head with a concussive blast of wind knocking them out. Naja looks at me with a slightly impressed look but remembers her earlier anger quickly and says "show off" I not taking her comment into account point to the correct direction where we are supposed to go saying "this way." I move toward said direction, Naja following close behind. As we make our way to the Objective we encounter more Guards, I knock them out with out raising any noise besides the bullets being shot at me.
After a little bit me and Naja get to our objective the control room which is backed by emergency power. I bust open the door knocking out the Guards with a successive punch and kick to each of them. I then spin my body around landing in the Control seat in front of the console. I then radio Yamata saying "We are at the control room" Yamata replies by saying "Wow, you work faster then I thought." I smile and say "Thank you, this isn't my first time" Yamata laughs slightly on the other side and says "I don't doubt it, alright can you find what we are looking for by looking at the monitor?" I look at the monitor flipping on the cameras on switch. I look from monitor screen to monitor screen and find the Objective, looking at the camera location which is posted below the monitor corresponding to it. I brief Yamata saying "It's on the third floor and it looks like its heavily Guarded." Yamata replies "roger"
As I relay info to Yamata, watching on the cameras, the group gets nearer and nearer to the objective seeing Nero, Kinta, Yamata, and Akane killing any guards they cross paths with, while Kurono, Neon, and Yasuke take out the Guards less violently. After a good 20 minutes of doing this, Yamata and his group get to the Door leading to the objective. I watch as Yamata uses a Fireball attacking the Guards sides killing them. Yamata though before going into the room he manipulates the fire onto the Wall and forms a sentence which reads "People who are treated as guinea pigs, no how to bite afterwards" Kinta then busts open the door and then enters, Akane and Nero killing the Guards. Yamata then radios me saying "You guys can come down now the place is empty of Guards." I reply with a "roger" and then head down to where the room is Naja following me.
As we near the Door Kurono, Neon and Yasuke are seen Guarding the door. Kurono looks at me with a slightly odd look on his face saying "Yamata wants to speak with you" As I move into the room Naja tries to follow but Kurono stops her shaking his head. Naja gives him a sour look but understands her cousin, she takes a position next to Kurono. I then head inside the door, I am greeted with a Lab and a dentist chair, as I look around the room I see see through tanks of Liquid ranging in colors from Black, to Orange, to Turqoise, to White. I then look over to where I see Yamata and his posse looking through some files taking an office apart trying to find something. I then move to stand in the doorway. I wait for a little bit until Yamata notices me, he then greets me saying "Good work, glad I asked you to come, lets see what the good doctors of Aug project were injecting into people" Yamata puts his hand on my back and leads me out of the office, I feel the eyes of the other posse members on me feeling their tension.
Yamata then stops in the middle of the room saying "So what do you think" I look at him with a look of anger saying "I hate this place it gives me the same feeling of helplessness when I was forced to undergo the experiment." Yamata still smiling says "Ah I see well, what do you make of these strange liquids." I look at them individually and after a couple of seconds I come to the conclusion "They must be different liquids that coagulates with our body and gives us these abilities" Yamata not suprised by my hypothesis says "You are correct and we are going to take a sample of each one to be analyzed by my special people" I look at Yamata who has an eccentric look on his face, he then snaps his fingers, as Akane brings over a Suitcase that looks rather wide. Yamata sets it on the dentist looking chair and opens it up revealing 8 vials, Yamata then puts his fingers on the sides of the phelt Square which holds the vials in it and lifts it out revealing another set of 8 vials. Yamata places the first phelt square on an operating table and motions for the others in his posse to help him and taking samples of the 16 different liquids.
Once the posse is finishes putting the now filled vials into the suitcase and latching the suitcase closed with all 16 different liquids secures I ask "Are you done with what you came here to do" Yamata grinning from ear to ear says "yes" I rush past yamata and smash the tank containing the Black liquid. Yamata is shocked what I was doing but doesn't stop me. After destroying the Black liquid container I jump from the metal machine its connected two and kick through a container with Dark Purple Liquid, I continue like this for a short while letting my rage for the people that did this to me ebb with the destruction of the lab me not caring about the onlookers that look at my rage. I start to feeling myself lose my restraints of sanity I create even more destruction by using my wind powers by blowing up a container, the glass shards cut my cheeks and arms. Just as soon as I'm about to punch the last container two arms wrap around my Waist I hear a female voice saying "Stop this Soren, its not worth you injuring yourself" I look back as I see Naja my vision seems Sharpened and everything seems red. Naja looks up at my face catching my eyes she moves back quickly shocked at what she sees. I look into the reflective surface of a piece of glass and see my face looking the same but my eyes, my pupils are slits of silver as my Iris's have changed from light Blue to Black. I look at myself shocked at what I look like, I hold my head with my hands feeling a headache break through the surface of my nerves. I see as my eyes change back to their original appearence. I holding my forehead say "what have they done to me."

I am starled awake, I breath for a couple of seconds, look at my hand, then around my vicinity, it seems I'm in my room. I wonder how I got here, then I remember everything from last night, even after what happened after that rage came over me.
~flashback~
"What have they done to me?" I still holding my head with my hands, a hand touches my shoulder, but immidiately I jerk it off and yell "Don't touch me" not caring who it is, I start to get some of my sanity back, standing up with my head down and my hands in my pockets I say "I need to get some rest, if you'll excuse me, I think my services are no longer needed at this time" I then excuse myself from the room not looking at anybody even though I feel the eyes of my comrades and friends shocked at what they had just saw, though for some reason I had a feeling that one of those eyes seemed concerned more then shocked. Though not caring who it is, I leave the room, and before anyone has a chance to do anything about it I bust out the window and run to my house, jumping through the previously opened window of my apartment, falling asleep immidiatly.~
After my memories of last night return, I look at my clock and notice it is an hour and a half till school starts, though prefering to just get their early I take 30 minutes to properly prepare for the school day, the first time I had done so without having to rush. I then take a nice 20 minute jog to school. As I enter the school grounds, not even the gate watcher is there yet. I not actually needing to be in class I start to head up to the roof but before I even get to the first flight of stairs an assassin stops me. Ilda says "oh hello Soren-san, didn't know you would be here this early, I do have the school donation records if you want them now." I put on a fake smile and reply "Thanx Ilda-san, I would like to see them." Ilda opens her bookbag and takes out a folder that has the word Donations printed in bold black English letters. I then flip open the folder and start scrolling down the list of names. Until I get to Auto Utility Garage management and neccessities.
Ilda asks me "Is their something wrong Soren-san" I immidiatly look up and put on my fake smile replying quickly with a "I'm fine, why do you ask" Ilda looks at me in the most peculiar fashion and says "Did something happen that you don't want anybody to know about Soren-san" I am stunned that just by the way I'm acting I give off so much of what I'm feeling then I realize that Ilda just might be an Aug-man as well. I though would rather not want anything to come up about Aug-man or Aug's in any way I just plainly state "I prefer not to talk about it, and yes you are correct" Ilda then says "oh, then I on't pry, did you find what you were looking for?" I give her a nod and hand her back the Donations page. She then says "Well I better put this back where it belongs then, hope you feel better Soren-san" As she leaves up the staircase I wave to her but don't reply after I know she is out of sight I sigh and then head to my classroom not having any other place to go to, I sit down in my seat unfortunatly I'm seated near my friends who I don't want to see today.
I put my head on my desk and wait for class to start. While I rest my head on my desk pretending to sleep I hear the footsteps of multiple students in my class coming in, I raise my head and look out the window trying not to make eye contact, I put my chin on my hand and ignore anything else going on. Then when the teacher arrives I ignore any of my friends looks, and complete the assignments given to me.
After the class is over the lunch bell rings, I take up my lunch and hurry out of the door ignoring my friends who follow me, as I round a corner seeing as I'm ahead of everyone else, I use my Wind powers to jet to the end of the hall and take a right turn escaping from them. Then hiding in an empty classroom, closing the door. I then open the window to the second story classroom and jump to a tree, not being seen by anyone. I get into the foliage of the branches so unless someone is actually looking for me and knows that I am in the tree then I won't be seen. I Eat my lunch in solace.
After I finish my lunch I jump down from the tree, and walk up the stairs toward my classroom. Though I am stopped by Naja who blocks the only staircase up to the classroom. I give a oh nuts look, but quickly hide it and ask "may I pass" Naja crosses her arms in front of her and says "no" I then get a little angry and ask again "Will you let me pass!" She still with the same expression says "no, you keep avoiding us, your friends so I'm punishing you by not letting you pass till you actually tell us whats wrong and actually start trusting us, starting with me." My eye twitches as I get annoyed and say bluntly "My problems are my business, no one else's."
I not even realizing it I am sent through the air and land 10 feet from where I was with a huge pain on my cheek. I then sit up after I land hard and shout "Why the hell you do that!" Naja then gets near me and says in a shallow voice "because your being stupid, just like him, always so stupid and selfish" I not understanding who she's talking about continue to listen on with a perplexed look on my face. She continues with "We are your friends, and as friends we need to tell eachother these things, and open up thats what it means to be true friends now stop getting your ass dirty and stand up" I then acknoledge her by standing up and looking her into her face saying "if you want me to tell how I'm feeling then fine. I have no idea what happened back in the warehouse, not even a theory or hypthesis that could remotely explain what had happened. So right now I'm afraid that this rage will end up hurting people I care about and thats why I'm avoiding you and the others." Naja then looks at into my eyes and gives me the most genuine smile I had ever seen and says "Just because that you are hurting doesn't mean that you have to shoulder it all yourself, let us shoulder some of it as well." I kind of blushing a little because of Naja's face I am somewhat speechless but then say with a stutter "a-alright, I'll try, living on the streets of Kyoto kind of made me a little self-servient" Naja then closes her eyes digging into her pocket and pulling out a bandage patch and puts it on the cheek she decked and then says "their, a little prize for your humility" I then chuckle and say "thanx alot" I smile at her, then we head back up to the classroom, where after class I explain what went on, Kurono and the others forgiving me, and we walk home together, Naja walking at my side and not as far away as possible from me, parting ways at the usual spot till the next day.

Friends, teammates, comrades, Lovers, Siblings, relationships between two or more people, but all having different strengths and different situations abiding to them, some are prerequisite to some, and others just happen out nowhere. Though the meanings and applicable feelings all have two things that they require to have these relationships, Honesty and Trust.
I having gotten a little bit better sleep, I dreamed of what could happen, what would happen, and what might transpire due to my choices,though the one thing I can never seem to figure out or appear in my dreams is the end result.
~Tuesday~
I wake up with a warm feeling in my chest, like a hole has been filled, that I have had since I had moved from Kyoto. I look over at my clock to see 7:20 their being 40 minutes to go till I need to go to school I get out of my bed stretching my arms and legs, I take 10 minutes and heal the Scars that I had kept as momento's of Kyoto, but I felt that they aren't needed and might keep people I want as my friends to be at arm's length instad of being closer. After that I look at my arms which are now smoothly muscled, I smile and take my shower, taking care to wash my hair and armpits with careful detail, so I won't be offensive to anyone near me. I then get dressed for School, after I had done this I pick up my backpack and head down the stairs casually, I look down the road away from my school I see my friends coming up from the opposite way, I look at them smiling waiting for them to catch up to me, they acknowledge me as we head toward the school me on the outside Next to Naja, Yasuke on the other side with Kurono in the middle and Neon next to him and Yasuke.
We get to the School in good time as we walk down the hall Yamata suprisingly alone with his hand in his pockets and his head down knocks into my shoulder and slipping a piece of paper into my pocket, murmuring "sorry" I keep walking as if nothing happened I word with my mouth, "after school" The others don't say anything as we finish our lessons me and the others into an empty Classroom I immidiatly see Yamata and his posse I sit with my friends on one side of the classroom with Yamata's posse on the other side with Yamata at the front with a television on a cart with a couple of video tapes on the side. Yamata looks at Soren the whole time as he sits down farthest away from Yamata. After everybody except Yamata, he then begins.
Yamata begins by saying "Alright now that all of you are here and emotionally normal I would like to show you the information we recovered from our mission and thanks to your efforts we are more knowledgable of our abilities. First off I disagreeociates are still analyzing the vials of ability liquid, they have found out it has to do with DNA enhancers. Secondly I found out something interesting, it seems that the warehouse we attacked is a records warehouse that has videos which I have here about all our videos of our Augmentation, the ones that are for most of us are just normal, we get stuck with a different liquid and we leave, but I found an interesting thing with your video tape, and it has everything to do with how you were injected, lets watch shall we.
Yamata puts in a video tape with a red tape across the front, with the White Kanji for Important, on it. The video starts displaying a lab room with me at age 10 unconcious as two people in lab coats start setting things up, I try controlling my anger but am starting to lose myself, though before I completely start to feel my Sanity ebb, a hand touches my shoulder feeling a warmth to it I suddenly come back to my senses as I look at the owner it appears to be Naja giving me a smile I feel my emotional strength returning just with that smile, I then continue to watch the video. Naja takes her hand off of my shoulder, as I hear a familiar voice I cringe as I here a female voice saying " It seems that everything is ready Sato-kun, we have a couple of minutes before he wakes, lets finish this quickly shall we" A male voice which also makes me feel loathing for the people that are there even more so then he previously realized. The one named Sato says " Well Rina-chan I think we should stave the prelim tests and just inject him with the number 7 serum and we will make the tests on his reactions afterwards. Soren glares at both of the lab coats. Sato as it appears takes out a syringe attaching it to a hose that connects to a container, but because of the black and white of the screen he could not see the color of the serum but notices that the serum container is almost empty. I knowing what happens though still watch as I wake up and yell as Sato sticks me with the Syringe in my right arm, as the Serum contatiner empties but a darker shade seems to be coming through the hose, Sato and Rina seem to not notice as Rina puts a hankerchief up to my nose as my eyes begin to close, which is where my memory stopped, though the tape kept running. Rina then seemed to have taken notice of the serum's shade she tells Sato " uh, Sato-san is the Serum supposed to be that color?" Sato looks at the hose and looks back at me, I suddenly began to struggle in my restraints trying to break the bonds, though I wasn't aware of what happened after I was given the chloroform, my restraints suddenly break apart as the two lab coats run behind a safety chamber, thier images are blurred because of their location but I am clearly seen still. My eyes shoot open and upon closer inspection seemed to not have changed but I seemed to have gained something a little more then just regular ablities from the Serum, I began doing the same thing it seemed that I did in the warehouse I began to break apart different controls, then I seemed to take the syringe out of my arm after the rest of the fluid gets into my arm, is emptied from the container, I then see a container marked Experiment and smash it and begin to drink it, Rina's voice could be heard saying This is unprecedented the test subject is injesting the test serum, if he injests too much he will become unstoppable, he will begin to be able to copy the other Aug-man's abilities. After ingesting a big gulp I seem to be cringing as I look at the camera my eye begin to change from their normal shade to the eyes that I saw in the reflective surface in the warehouse, but that wasn't the last of it, my bodies skin began to become a darker shade and my features seem to become more animalistic, till after a little bit I had ripped off my shirt and stared at the camera as my body turned into a Dark Lion head with Strikingly Bright colored hair that went behind my head the instruments began to spin around in the room as you can hear a deafening roar in the video I jump up the wall and began tearing out some panels, I then see Sato on the video come behind me and zap me with a Taser, I collapse on the ground and my body returns to normal. Sato looks into the camera and says " This is what happens when you don't properly clean out the hose suction gasket, end of subject Augmentation." The video then goes black, I am shocked as I have had my eyes wide open with my face in exasperated shock with me clutching the bar of the desk that I am sitting in that connects the seat to the desk board. Everybody stares at me, and then looks at where I am grasping,as do I and it seems that I was so focused on the video I had accidentely crushed the bar where I had grasped the Bar, I lift my hand from the bar and the desk board crashes to the floor. I sigh and looks at everyone most of the posse look at me with disdain and some with fear, but my friends look at me with pity and worry for me. Yamata then asks "So Soren-san you saw that video and it seems you are a special case, and got injected with a combo Serum, and also an experimental serum that allows you to gain more abilities from other users, but thats not why I called you here, I was wondering if you could recognize the lab techs, called Sato and Rina?" I look at Yamata with half-open eyes and say clearly Those two are dead Yamata raises an eyebrow as I get up and open the door to the classroom, though before I go he asks How are you so sure I say without looking back Because Sato, and Rina were my parents I close the door behind me.

As I close the door behind me I find visions of the video going through my mind's eye as I unconciously turn myself toward the school's roof, as I think to myself ~why did it have to be them, what type of parents would send their own son to be made into a laboratory guinea pig, I understand why they did it themselves so they can control the experiment and make sure I didn't die or become critically handicapped. Though not once not even when I was causing such havoc had I heard them call me by my name or have any love in their voice as their son.....well screw em, I have a new life anyway Naja's going to kick I disagree if I start getting emo again after I think what I'm going to do next I'll put it behind me.~
I open the door to the rooftop and walk slowly to the fence thinking about my objectives I peer at the town noticing the various places in the town I spot the Warehouse seeing that it was especially close to the school then I expected. Right when I figured out that I should continue my schooling as normal and continue improving the relationships I have garnered. I notice a broken chain in the chain link fence a little curious I touch it, I feel a shock as electricity passes through my finger into the metal fence, A crow sitting atop the chain link fence fry's instantly, I take a few seconds then I notice that I caused the crow's demise remembering the vid saying that I could learn new abilities from other Aug-men.
Thinking that Naja has been the one to have the most physical contact with me, and she having lightning as her ability, I have a little smile on my face as I see some soda cans left from someones lunch. Taking them I place them on a highrise on the roof and walk a couple of steps back. Readying myself to unleash what I think is lightning. My mind working like a piece of machinery finely tuned to fighting I figure that emotions might help trigger it, beggining I start passing memories that have made me feel differently though most were useless I found that curiousity was the trigger, the more curious I was the more control I had over the lightning. Starting off I start with some short and sharp curiousity based on finding something out about my enemy I send a small bolt of lightning at the first can it gets knocked off. For the next can I try a long curiousity as if I was working a complex puzzle I didn't understand yet a long stream of lightning passed from my palm to the can though instead of knocking it off it holds it, smiling I move it around the roof like a kite. releasing the electricity the can drops, though I use the same emotion and catch it with the electricity before it hits the ground. placing the can on top of the chain link fence and releasing it though I use some of the electricity to stick it to the fence. Switching to my wind abilities I punch it with a blast of wind, though it does move it moves around the metal pole and hangs on the side of the pole staying there. I laugh at the thought of the possibilities of what I can do with these new abilities. Though I unconciously give myself a rule to ask before taking abilities from now on, so I don't become hated.
I hear after I finish training for 10 minutes the door opening revealing Naja and Kurono stepping onto the now dark rooftop, I look over at them with a bright smile saying "Ah I see you guys finally caught up to me, where are the others at?" Naja and Kurono both look a little annoyed to seem me fine and in high spirits, Naja talks first saying "Ok why in the hell are you so happy?" not really trying to be mean but just concerned that I might have become hysterically mad. Kurono just looks at me in disbelief that I am ok so I answer both Kurono's look and Naja's question by simply stating " I just figured that yeah it sucks that my folks were the ones who made me this way, so I'm not going to care about them anymore and live my life here how I want. Oh and Kurono you shouldn't try to touch me." Kurono asks me "Why not?" my face darkens a little by saying "Cause I might accidentely copy your element onto myself, Like Naja's lightning element is now." Naja looks at me and I nod to her she looks a little confused then realizes how I got her lightning ability, she almost looks regretful then giggles saying "Well since you already have my ability that means that I can still hit you." I smile evily saying "Sadist" Naja retaliates by saying "Pest" Naja gets a little mad and aims to punch me, though I feeling a bit mischievious duck under her punch and kiss her straight on the lips, after doing so Naja is a little shocked as I duck under her arm, I turn my head around and say "just like candy" Then I get decked with a punch by naja that sends me 10 feet into the air landing near the doorway she screaming "BAKA!" she leaves in a incredible rage though through my ebbing conciousness I could see her blush a good bit as well as the anger that was shown on her face. Kurono just looks dumbfounded at my suicidal attack, he walks over to me and stares down with a your an idiot on his face saying "You kind of deserved that" I smile with my nose and mouth bleeding I lift my arm gradually and give him the thumbs up sign saying "Worth it" then I fall unconcious.

Love, most people think that it should happen naturally easily and most importantly feel purely good, well my friends it isn't that easy, people have different values for love, they could mean familial love, physical love, or pure love. All requiring work to manage and develop and can be broken as simply as a misunderstanding or even a feeling of mistrust.
I wake up with a pain in my head feeling that I was hit with a sledgehammer. I still smile a little having kissed Naja though I knew that she would be mad with me I wouldn't regret what I did. I look at my clock and see that it is an hour till I go to school my body still decides to get up, I get dressed and wash myself, though I still have a stupid smile on my face while I do so. After grabbing a piece of egg toast and my lunch I practically skips to school not bothering to wait for my friends who would arrive later that day. Entering the school grounds in good time saying hello to Ilda and everyone who is there early including Glade and Allan who are apart of the class representatives and Student Council. I turn a corner but move back behind the wall I just passed and peer around the corner.
I see Naja and Yamata talking happily with eachother, going back over my mental notes of Naja she should be very shy around Yamata, I think deeply then realize Naja's plan of revenge for kissing her I chuckle silently in my head as I look back around as Naja stops to take a swig with water from a water fountain. I put my head back around then stop my thinking for a split second then smile evily as I touch the wall I curiously think how the water fountain works, a surge of electricity goes along the cable inside the wall and hits the water fountain, as soon as it does the Water fountain blasts a full gallon of water in Naja's face I turn my head around the corner to see my payback plan come to action I have to hold myself back to keep from bursting out laughing, though I realize that I'm in the open I silently open the door nearest me and slip into the empty classroom opening the window he vaults to the roof with his wind abilities and moves back down to his classroom waiting for the classes to start he breaks open his notebook and studies for the test he has today.
After 20 minutes the bell rings as the students start to file in I wave to Kurono and Neon, and smile like I don't know what she is up to at Naja then turns back to his work. She silently tell me "Want me to wipe that smile off your face?" I look at her and say just as silently "you can try" I knowing full well what she has planned I act like I don't know by turning back to face the front but out of the corner of my eye I see her smile evily.
After class, I head to the cafeteria and sit down at an empty table and begins to eat his lunch when Naja and Yamata come in holding hands they fakely suddenly notice me Naja saying "Oh hi Soren-san I didn't see you there, mind if we sit down?" Like an acting professional I lose my smile giving her a little bit of satisfaction, so that I can build up her revenge and give an even better feeling to my reversal but only when the time comes. I say simply "s-sure thing" looking disheaveled on the outside but smiling evily on the inside I begin to eat my lunch, Naja and Yamata what I believe is a bad attempt at being lovey-dovey, though I keep my eyes down to show that I look sad, then I see Ilda wandering around until she gets to our table she asks me "Um, Soren-san have you seen Allan-kun and Glade-kun?" I am about to say know but I see Allan and Glade looking particularly annoyed at eachother's presence I tell her "I think thats them looking for you." I believing that Ilda would leave with them, she waves to Allan and Glade to come over, she asks "Is there room for three more?" I look at her and smile a little honestly enjoying some other company say "Sure is that alright with you Naja-san, Yamata-san?" Naja and Yamata look at each other and nod seeing an unexpected element was not in their plans to torture me.
Glade sat beside me with Allan sitting near Naja and Ilda on the end, they break out their respective lunch boxes, while I continue to eat mine, though the silence is broken as I see Allan, and Ilda stare at my lunch box, not knowing why I ask "What's wrong" Allan speaks up first "Thats a professional looking lunch box your parents must have hired a proffesional cook right?" I shake my head no, Ilda pipes in with "Oh, I know your mother made it." I smile a little and say "no, my mother didn't make it." Allan comments "So then who did?" I lift my chopsticks up in the air and point to myself. Allan looks confused and asks "Why in heaven's name would you make your own lunch box, doesn't that pry into your free time?" I shake my head no and say "There's no one else to make it for me." Ilda asks "Why not?" I am about to tell her that my parents aren't with me anymore but Yamata bursts into the conversation by saying "Because he lives alone, his parents are dead." Ilda covers her mouth, and Allan looks kind of sorry though still maintaining that look of superiority, and Glade lifts his eye not really caring either way, while I look at Yamata with a sad look but inside my mind I was telling him silently ~you'll get yours soon enough not a very nice person.~
Ilda says to me "I'm sorry Soren-san I we didn't know" I smile a little knowing that she couldn't fake sincerity I tell her "Its fine they passed away a long time ago, I'm over it." Just then Kurono Neon, and Yasuke show up waving to me, then seeing Yamata and Naja sitting together, Neon sits on the other side of Glade, while Kurono sits next to me and Yasuke sitting next to him Kurono asking "so whats going on here?" Then he notcies Ilda and gets a little sheepish though continues to talk with everybody. Soon the whole table with the exception of Yamata and Naja are in a happy conversation with eachother. Soon genkai spots us and joining in to sit next to Yamata but before Ilda-chan hugs him and calls him chibi-kun again, which we laugh at. Half way done with the lunch period Kurono was telling Ilda, Genkai, Allan, and I about his life before we met but soon the whole cafeteria hears a terrifying Squeal saying "KURONO-SAMA" as Tina jumps over the table and tackles Kurono nearly losing his lunch in the process he hits the ground hard as Tina hugs his chest with a contented smile on her face, I almost imagine a cat tail and ears on her as she purrs in a sense. I say "What do you know Tina's here."
Tina hearing my voice her ears perks up and glares at me almost touching my face she says "Your the mean cafe man, why you here?" I tell her "I study here" Ilda, and Allan look curiously at Tina, Genkai and Glade look disgusted with her attitude while Yamata looks confused and starting to look annoyed as he says "who are you?" Tina looks at yamata and looks like she is about to run away, though Kurono glancing at Ilda he says "No one, this is Tina-san she is my st..." though he is cut off by Naja who says "Girlfriend." Genkai Glade, Allan, and Yamata look as though they understand something while Kurono gets mad and says "Naja!" Naja smiles evily loving torturing her cousin just like an older sister, Kurono looks at Ilda and says "Th-thats not true." Ilda then looks down, I look more closely and see a tear, I pull back as I see Ilda smiling lifting her head up she wipes the tear from her face and says to Kurono's despair " I'm so glad Kurono-san, you usually look like a lonely person, and was a little worried when I saw you in the hallways you would always act shy and look away, but I'm glad that you found a girlfriend, hope me and Allan can go on a double date with you two."
Kurono looks dumbstruck and looks as though he was about to lose all his spirit. I feeling bad for him I say "Don't fret amigo I'm on your side" as I pat him on the shoulder I feel a shock and cringe as does Kurono a soft glow would appear underneath where my hand is, I jerk it off of his shoulder as soon as I can and look at my hand as the Kanji of Mizu appears on my hand then dissapears. I look a little sheepish as I try slightly by feeling empathy for another and lightly make a stirring motion in my thermos, I see the water move slightly where I motion and sigh a little looking at Kurono who looks at me and shrugs then remembers what had happened and looked as if the emotions were drained out of him, suddenly a strong gust blew the windows shades violently Kurono gets himself back to see the blinds and as soon as that happens they stop shaking.
Me and Kurono look at eachother thinking the same thing ~Kurono just gained my wind ability~ Naja looks a little concerned, but Kurono is the first one to say something quietly to me "So much for your rule" I look down sheepishly and nod my head in agreement. The others look confused and Yamata looks curiously at me being suspicious as always me and Kurono sit down Tina now in between us hugging Kurono. Yamata finally gets so annoyed with the situation he jumps in head first by rising up and saying "May I have you attention you guys?" The whole cafeteria gets quiet as they see Yamata's figure. Yamata continues exageratting what he is going to say by making his voice so everyone can hear saying " Well, just to let everyone know Naja Hyuuga confessed to me this morning, and I accepted we are now Boyfriend and Girlfriend." Gasps and some cheers rang out in the cafeteria I feel a little heart break but then soon realise this is an act of desperation for his and Naja's plan, so I look shocked to hear this but knew that this was coming Naja acts on her partners move a little late but then nods in agreement hugging Yamata, then looking at me which I immidiatly put on a very sad expression, which was about 90% real because I had a bit of doubt that Naja would not make this a for sure thing givin the circumstances.
Kurono looking at his cousin he most likely summises what she is doing by saying "Prove it." Naja and Yamata both look at Kurono with a huh? expression, Kurono repeats himself "Prove that your Boyfriend and Girlfriend." The whole cafeteria look at Kurono then Tina pipes in saying "Kiss." The whole cafeteria then begins to chant "Kiss, Kiss, Kiss" I could have hugged Tina at that moment cause this was the moment of my payback. I waited looking as if I was waiting on the razor's edge of salvation and hell, which 95% was, I waited while they looked at the entire crowd then looked back at eachother and almost subconciously saying what do we do now, then Yamata gets some balls and says " Sure if thats what you all want, I'll signify my relationship with her by taking her first kiss." the crowd was about to cheer but I subconciosly tried to laugh but stopped myself half way and snorted trying to keep my composure. Though it was too late the whole cafeteria was looking at me including Yamata with a confused but believing their plan had succeeded in getting to me, though Naja looked at me with fear knowing what and why I had snorted. Yamata smoothly asks me "Whats wrong Soren-san, is their a problem?" I trying to contain my laughter and utter excitement for mishief I cough a couple of times and tell him rather poorly "You aren't ready to kiss her" Yamata raises an eyebrow asking "Why not she is my girlfriend and I'm her boyfriend what do I need to do more hmmm?" I simply say "You need a face mask" The whole cafeteria except Genkai looks suprised oddly. Then after a second Naja blushes slightly pleading with her eyes not to embarrass and ruin this, Kurono also gets my meaning by looking at her with revenge for the Girlfriend comment.
Yamata asks "Why would I need a face mask to kiss my girlfriend?" I almost was about to explode though I say as calmly as I can "Cause she hits really hard" Yamata looks a little suspicious asks "And how would you know this?" The entire cafeteria is on their very seats except Genkai and Kurono, I open my mouth to say something but Kurono intervenes and says "Soren kissed Naja" The whole cafeteria gasps, I tell Kurono with a rather dissapointed face "Party pooper" The entire cafeteria is on their seats asking whether this is true, Naja blushing with embarrassment and remembering, says "Its a lie, it's a lie, its a lie." The cafeteria looks at me but this time Genkai intervenes by saying "I have proof" Every single last one of the people in the cafeteria look at Genkai, Naja asks "no you don't." Genkai stands up fixing his glasses and begins his monologue.
"I do have proof, but first I'll tell you how I witnessed it, I am a genius and have come here recently and favor some alone time after school so I usually go up to the roof of the school and think about things, though last night I witnessed a rather intriguing spectacle, I saw Soren coming out of the hallway door and walk to the end of the roof very deep in thought, he meditated for a little bit looking as if he had some problems with something or some such, but then he became a happy for some reason and decided to leave though Kurono and Naja came up to the roof seeing Soren I heard them talking, it seemed that Soren was being searched for by these two, after the conversation both Naja and Soren were smiling as if knowing eachother more then anyone else or so it seemed to me. Anyway for some reason Naja tried to punch Soren with a straight but Soren ducked under it and kissed Naja on the lips, then naja hit him really hard. Naja seemed to become extremely embarrased yelling Baka and running into the hallway though Soren was down for the count I could tell he was smiling, Kurono came over to him and said "you kind of deserved that" Soren then put a thumbs up sign and saying worth it. And thats how I witnessed it afterwards Soren fell unconcious and Kurono dragged him to his house or so I believe.
The cafeteria listened intently then turned toward Naja who was blushing crimson, they then looked at me as I was wiping a tear with a hankerchief I said "Such a fond memory, I'm thankful that I could remember it all" I fake blowing my nose, Kurono shakes his head but smiles knowing that Naja kind of had it coming to her. Naja then interjects by saying "yo-you still don't have proof." Though Genkai had already whipped out his phone hitting keys and such till he stopped and said "I caught it on video, just in case." Genkai raised his cell phone straight toward the crowd unpausing it, I see myself talking with Kurono and Naja I smiling at Naja dodging her hit to kiss her and get hit really far and the worth it clip as well. As soon as it ends Genkai closes his phone.
Yamata looks livid at Genkai then looks extremely annoyed at Naja still trying to keep his cool he says "So you did this to get back at Soren how immature can you be, you disgust me I don't want to see you again." Naja looks hurt more then heartbroken, The bell rings at that moment as the cafeteria looks at Naja and me knowing the truth they leave like it was the end of a party. The people that were left are Kurono, Naja, Neon, Me, and yasuke. We all decide to skip the next period and head to the roof, though we are stopped by genkai who has his arms crossed trying to act like a spy he says "I have some words with you guys lets go to the roof to discuss. I look at the others and shrug following Genkai the rest follow as well.
We get to the rooftop as Genkai had put chairs in a corner of the rooftop, we all sit with us along the fence and him closest to the door he says "Alright I believe you owe me an explanation Soren since I kept what you were really doing up here from everyone else can you explain to the class what you were doing." I look at Genkai figuring he already saw so might as well give him the scoop on me as I say " I as you might have guessed have superpowers, and I was practicing using lightning which was an ability I found by accident I had." Naja still being a little silent doesn't say anything but doesn't look suprised, while Kurono nods his head. Genkai then says "Do Naja and Kurono have superpowers too, and if so do Neon and Yasuke also have them." Kurono looks at the others and shrugs nodding. Genkai asks "What superpowers do you have?" Neon goes first saying "I can control Earth" yasuke then says "I'm Fire element" Kurono then does Naja's since she is still too embarrassed to talk "hers is lightning while mine is Water" I add "and wind" Naja looks at me and I nod, as I explain "I think during your little torture session when I tried comforting Kurono when you emotionally destroyed him by touching his shoulder I think I copied Kurono's water element while at the same time I copied my Wind element and gave it to him, I think I'm begginning to understand what I can do, and I'm Wind, Lightning and Water" Genkai takes all the information in then says "well it wasn't very wise to tell me that cause now I can blackmail you." I look at him very kindly and say "you can, or I can zap you with my lightning till you forget, though I just recognized the ability yesterday so it might have you lose a few brain cells"
Genkai looks at me and says "Good point, well since you told me your secret I'll tell you mine, I also have superpowers" Suddenly I felt an aura as hundreds of bugs gathered around Genkai.

I am dumbstruck, not just surprised dumbstruck just when I felt that I had a handle on these powers that my Parents worked on, I get thrown a Change-up. I ask Genkai "Ho-how in the hell can you control bugs?" Genkai looks perplexed saying "I got Augmented just like you did....can't any of you control animals." I shake my head, looking behind me so do the others. Kurono being sensible and cool headed asks "Were you conscious during your augmentation or were you unconscious, and if you were conscious did you see what color serum you received?" Genkai looked a little embarrassed but said "Yes and no, I was conscious but they gave me laughing gas so I couldn't really have sharp vision and couldn't move my head so I don't remember much of the actual procedure, just what the white coats told me they were going to do beforehand."
I sigh looking at Kurono first with a "Group meeting after" then I look at Genkai saying "Well thanks for telling us anyway, now that we know each other’s secrets we are even." Outstretching my hand Genkai shakes it and turns to leave, but before he does he says "Oh and a bit of info that Kinta guy also can control an animal, I don't know what kind but keep an eye out." I nod to him and reply "Thanks for that, and if you get in trouble we will come help you." Genkai turns back around and puts his hand up to acknowledge me closing the door behind him.
I then turn to Kurono who says "alright what’s your idea?" I start to form the sound of speech in my mouth but look at Naja then look at Kurono again, and Neon and Yasuke. I think ~I know I can trust Kurono with this, Neon and Yasuke should be fine keeping a secret but....~ I look back at Naja and say "Are you with us or are you with Yamata" Naja her attitude returning says "I don't have to answer that, I am free to do what I want and I want to be in both groups." I turn toward her walking so I am right up to her I ask "Do you hate me?" Shocked she almost says something but stops herself, after a little thinking she says "I hate your actions, I don't hate you." I take this into consideration turning around I say "Then I can't trust you." Naja shocked by this asks with a little bit of contempt in her voice “Why not, what have I done that would make you not trust me?” I continue to have my back turned, while saying “You are someone that I don’t know what you will do with information I give you; you are unpredictable and therefore untrustworthy.” Naja now a bit angry more then hurt says “Do you think I’m someone who would blackmail you, why would you feel that way huh?” she would try to get in front of me but to no avail as I kept my eyes averted not wanting to look her in the eye I ask “Why in the world did you go to Yamata after what happened yesterday, I have a vague hypothesis but nothing of your personality that I have garnered from you would elicit such a response.” Naja now getting a little embarrassed but still mad says “What did you expect me to do after you….you took something important from me.” I reply plainly “I expected you to be mad that was a given, I even predicted you storming off, but I thought you would go home and think why in the hell I would kiss you, figure out that I was joking and decide to treat me with a nonexistent to you psychology in which I would try to reconcile with you of course, but I was wrong you went to Yamata the one person who knew how to hurt me and is corrupt enough to actually go through with causing me pain.” Naja now pissed would start to yell “DO YOU THINK YOU ARE JUSTIFIED cause you took my-my first kiss and then played it off as a joke that I couldn’t do whatever I wanted huh.” Neon and Yasuke would just stare at the scene though Kurono would try to calm Naja by saying “Cousin you should know Soren better then that do you think he would just do that to piss you off?” Naja still pissed but her voice normal sounding would say “Oh and what could their possibly be that he would kiss me like that.” I was now a little dumbfounded as I turn around and walk toward her with a serious expression on my face I stop about a foot from her and say “Just like Kurono said, I didn’t just do this out of a whim I planned this whole thing out which I stated previously, but since you are an ignoramus I will tell you why I took your first kiss.” I close my eyes and inhale deeply then sighing audibly say “Naja Hyuuga I have been in love with you for quite some time, I am most likely not your knight in shining armor but I will do my best to protect you for as long as I can.” Naja anger gone was taken aback about to utter a word I interrupt saying “You don’t have to say anything I already know your feelings by the actions you took, Kurono, Yasuke, Neon I will contact you soon about my plan.” I look back at Naja saying “I will tell you this; I plan to fully find out about what my parents were trying to create you can try to make up with me in a normal way or you can just go back to Yamata I don’t really care anymore.” I use my Wind ability to create a high amount of wind around me as I’m launched into the air straight to cloud level. I push what just happened in the back of my mind like I always have while I fly toward the library, I get their and immediately head to the computers and begin my research, it is golden week so I have a good amount of time to do nothing but find out the locations of the research facilities. After three days of research I get all the information I get still having not seen sight or sound of my friends and/or Naja. On the fourth and fifth day I make up my plan and on the sixth day I send a letter anonymously to Kurono, Neon, and Yasuke to come to the park the next day around 8:00p.m. The rest of the day I train with water for a bit and continue to advance my lightning skills until it gets late in which I just go to sleep.
The next day I wake up early gather my gear and put it into a backpack, and meditate going over the plan in my mind I wait till 7:30p.m. Eating lunch and dinner so I don’t have to stop while on this infiltration at 7:30 I move to the park where I wait for the others I relax on a bench putting my backpack beside me I pretend to read. Soon I see Kurono, Yasuke, and Neon coming this way through my peripheral vision. I don’t make any visible recognition as Kurono, Yasuke and Neon sit down on the bench behind me which is facing the opposite way. I utter softly to the three I say “Alright I found a main research facility that is very near the Rappongi hotel we will be using that as a safe point if we get into trouble we will head there. Our story will be that we are doing a project on architecture and how skyscrapers are the new way to future booming businesses. We will go from there and sneak into the facility sabotaging their main power generator cables and head to where the experiments are done and see if they have any serum tanks and we ourselves will take samples of each and hack into the main frame of their secret information and try to gain what the discrepancies are between them. After we take the samples we will head back to the hotel to meet up then we will go home if we want at that time we can take some of the serum yourselves to gain more powers.” Kurono, Neon, and Yasuke each take a minute to go over the plan in their heads while I continue to pretend to read a book. Though soon my focus is interrupted as I hear the crunching of leaves from where Kurono entered, I look over toward the noise to see Naja trying to hide behind a tree and looking at her feet where the crunching was.
I sigh asking Kurono quietly “Kurono, did you tell Naja about where we were meeting?” Kurono looked around and said “No why?” I come to a conclusion and say “Well she kind of followed you she’s by that tree to your right.” Kurono looks over and sees her, I call out “You know you can stop hiding Naja we can see you.” Naja tries to hide herself more but soon gives up and comes walking toward us. She says “What a coincidence meeting you here.” All of us look at her with a yeah right expression. Kurono asks first “how did you follow us?” Naja sighs and said “You left the house I followed you though I just got here had to pick up a couple of people.” I immediately lose my patience and stand up throwing my book that I wasn’t reading on the bench, using my Wind ability to create a Khatar out of the wind I then charge past Naja as I see a couple of people come out of the trees I see a long weapon come at me, I immediately cut it in half thinking its Yamata I follow through with trying to punch the attacking figure with the blade though after the assailant’s face is placed into view I stop the blade two inches from his nose. As I see the moon come from behind the clouds I see the faces of three very familiar people, Glade, Allan and Ida appear out from behind the trees, Ida says “Good Evening Soren-san.”
