To LOVE-Ru: Betsu No Kao Chapter 1: Faded From Darkness, Into The Raven
CONTINUE
It was a beautiful morning in the Yuuki household. Flowers glistened with the shine of the rain as the sun shone on them. It had seemed today would be good. In the kitchen, Mikan had prepared breakfast. Celine was the first down, ready to eat
"Is the jam nice, Celine?" Mikan questioned Celine, being replied by her usual mau noise. "Here you go."
Mikan handed Celine a piece of toast with jam on top. Celine was happy, giggling and 'mau'ing at the same time. Eating the piece of toast, she was very impressed as Mikan's cooking. Unfortunately, Mikan had better things to be doing rather than worrying about her cooking. Instead, she was more worried about her older, yet irresponsible brother, Rito.
"Rito! If you don't hurry up, you'll be late for breakfast." Mikan asked Rito from the bottom of the stairs. Meanwhile, in his room, Rito had awoken from his slumber. He opened his eyes and glanced around his room. He swore he felt something touch his abdomens. He looked down to that area, only to be greeted with something that startled him. It was Momo. Unfortunately, she only wore a shirt that barely covered over her shoulders, exposing her body clearly.
"Good morning." Momo softly spoke, smiling and gently chuckling at the end of her sentence. Rito instinctively moved her away, pushing her off him. She sweetly looked back, crossing her legs from behind.
"Momo!? How long have you been in my bed?" Rito asked frantically, worried and terrified at the same time. Unfortunately, things were about to turn worse for his case.
"Oh, you're awake?" Nana asked, opening the door. "Mikan asked to come wake up…"
Nana's train of speech was cut off by the sight in front of her. The indication is some perverted stuff happened and, Nana being herself, decided to take action.
"What are you doing with Momo this morning?!" Nana shouted, pulling at the fat of Rito's face. He instantly tried to move her out of his way.
"She… She came in herself!" Rito responded, barging out of the door and running to the hallway. Nana followed behind him.
"Yeah right! She came in there by herself?" Nana asked, chasing Rito throughout the house. "Come back here, you beast!"
As Rito continued his tiny venture in an attempt to escape Nana, he ran into another predicament where he was confronted with another sexual problem. Coming straight out of the washroom, Lala was bare-skined, revealing all of the private parts not intended to be seen by most.
"Ah, a bath in the morning really helps you." Lala contemplated, recalling the relaxing sensations of washing herself. "Oh, good morning, Rito!"
Rito was stopped in his tracks. His face glimmered with red embarrassment. He was getting ready to explode.
"Lala! How many times do I have to tell you not to walk around the house naked until you'll understand?!" Rito shouted from where he was. Mikan listened as Nana had caught up to Rito, beating him around.
"Good grief…" Mikan spoke, thinking about what happened.
"This is an average day in the life of me, Yuuki Rito. Ever since Princess Lala from Planet Deviluke had shown up, my life has been nothing but trouble. In another twist, ever since her twin sisters Nana and Momo have came, it has just been worse. Studying at Sainan is also a problem as I don't care for academics. All of my friends I've met here and luckily, there will soon be another one."
Walking out from the terminal, Hidé fixed himself. His brown, chocolate hair had been fuzzed around while his blue eyes were bloodshot. He reached for his phone. He was receiving a video call from his family and answered it.
"Ah, would you look at our young boy growing up." Hidé's mom spoke, sounding happy in her voice.
"Mom, are you sure you made arraignments? I don't see anyone looking for me." Hidé glanced around the airport as he said that, sounding nervous.
"Listen, Son. This is the best for you." Hidé's dad replied, sounding semi-serious. "You wanted to learn Japanese, so I've sent you to Sainan High in Japan to help you.
"Yeah but, I don't know where I'll…" Hidé attempted to continue, looking more nervous.
"Good luck, my great son!" Hidé mom interrupted him, waving at the screen.
"Good luck, Big Bro JJ!" Hidé's little sister, Amy, waved from behind the parents.
"No. Wait!" Hidé spoke trying to stop them from turning off the conversation, but to no avail. "Shit. What do I do now?"
Hidé glanced around for a bit, looking for a hint of where he could go. His best guess was to get a coach into the city and look for the high school. On his way walking, he bumped into someone, knocking him back a little bit. He looked up at the woman in front of him. A blond woman with glasses and a teaching attire appeared before him.
"Oh, apologizes miss." Hidé spoke, bowing slightly. "But do you happen to know where I could get something to get to Sainan High?"
"Oh, yes. I do." The woman replied. "In fact, I plan on working there."
"Oh, so best wishes to you if you do, miss." Hidé extended his hand to shake hers. "What's you name? For future reference."
"Tearju Lunatique." Tearju spoke, shaking Hidé's hand. "What about yours?"
"Hidé. Hokori Hidé." Hidé responsed, shaking her hand. "At your service."
Hidé arrived at the school. It had been late in the day so it was a tougher time to get used to classes. He had introduced himself and he was apart of 2-B but it weakened it attention levels. In fact, the school day was soon to reach its end. But Hidé had to deal with some problems. He strolled through the hallways, gazing at posters promoting the school rules and an idol named Run.
"Huh. Perhaps she has strong affiliations here?" Hidé thought, gazing at the poster. He then noticed something at the bottom of the poster. It gave times and the area of which she was performing a concert and it was quite soon. Hidé was quite intrigued as he made music himself. Perhaps he could persuade her into letting him become her producer? Suddenly, he heard a shout. He turned around to see a young boy twirling away as a pink haired girl rushed after him. Similarly, a young blond girl, around Hidé's age, was being tugged at by almost lifeless corpses. Her chest and her underwear was exposed by the tugging. Hidé then had an idea. If this girl was in danger then.
"Operation Return of the Bird will be a go!" Hidé whispered to himself, eagerly giggling as reached in for his bag. He pulled out the black trench coat and mask out of his bag and the blue weapon shifting stick slipped out from his trousers thigh pocket. He was ready. The bird is coming back.
Yami attempted to break out, but to no avail. The almost lifeless Saruyama walked over slowly, looking as if he limped as he walked. She attempted more, but still no avail. Now, she was just bracing for the worse. Just then she looked at a twinkle in the sky that crashed down upon the undead looking beings and knocked them out.
"What?" Yami whispered to herself, looking at the corpses on the ground. She wondered a little bit more before looking behind her to see her savior. It looked like a boy, wearing a large dark trech coat. His face also was covered by a black mask that appeared to have a resemblance to a beak on it. She was confused at this sight to say the least. "Who are you?"
"I am the Black Raven." the boy said, still facing away from Yami. "I am the light and the dark. The good and the evil. I do not care for those I spare but I also do not care for those I kill. Now, Miss Golden Darkness, if I'm correct, who are controlling these people?"
"As expected from people who have betrayed us." A man and woman's voice spoke in unison. " You two pieces of filth do not belong in this galaxy. You have gone against your master's command, and you shall pay."
"Master Nemesis." Yami whispered under her breath. Black Raven was shocked by this, freezing up from the name. He swallowed deeply, feeling a sense of deathly deja vu.
"Correct. I'm flattered you remember me." The voices spoke again. "Unfortunately, your new friend's memories seem to be faded of me."
Yami looked around to see this Black Raven person clutching his mask, groaning loudly. He seemed in pain.
"What business do you have with him?" Yami asked, looking at Black Raven in his agony.
"He will be the potential key to unlocking the power of Darkness if everything I predict is possible. I wish not to stess you further, Golden Darkness. Until we meet again."
As she finished her sentence, half of Black Raven's mask broke off. He gasped for air as it broke off. It had shattered into pieces on the ground.
"Damn it." Black Raven sighed, taking off his mask. "Guess I'll have to order a new one."
"Hey, Hidé!" A voice spoke in the distance. Black Raven turned around, looking at someone from his class. It was Rito. "Thanks for saving Yami!"
"Yuuki Rito. You know of this person?" Yami questioned, standing beside Hidé, waiting for Rito's response.
"Yeah! He's actually new here so I helped him out." Rito explained, walking towards the two of them with his pink haired friend, Momo, at his side.
"Well thanks again for that." Hidé replied, looking at his mask.
"Huh? What's with the get up?" Rito asked, looking at the mask Hidé was holding.
"Oh, nothing important." Hidé replied, storing the mask away in his bag.
"Anyways, I'm grateful for saving Yami. That's really nice of you. Is there anything I could do?" Rito questioned him. Hidé thought about it for a moment. He recollected his thoughts from earlier and remembered something. He asked Rito one question.
"Yeah. You got a place for me to stay for a while?" Hidé asked, tilting his head slightly.
