*Akko**Akko**Akko*
Light beam into my eyes as soon as I open them. In front of the window was a boy, his dark brown hair was wax back. Looking back at me he smiled.
"How long are you planning to sleep?" meeting his green eyes I smiled.
"Who knows," reaching out my hand I turn of the noisy alarm.
"Come on," he said tossing me a black tail suit, white button down shirt and a white tie, he open.
"Geez thanks for just throwing my school uniforms at me," rolling my eyes a little I got out of bed. Laughing a little, my cousin Andrew Hanbridge left the room. Throwing my tank top and boxer into the dirty cloth bin, I walk into the shower room. My hair was brown like andrew's but not as dark. Compare to regular boys it was longer but not that long. Just long enough to tie it into a tiny ponytail. Really tiny, so tiny there was still a large amount of my hair let down. Unlike my cousin, I have red eyes. Resting my hand onto my bear chest, I felt it. It has been here for a very long time and yet, "you can still never get used to it." Taking a quick shower I head back into my room and got changed.
"Come on, are you still not done?" his voice can be heard through the door.
"...Andrew,"
"What?"
"Don't eat my food," he cough a few time. He must choke while he was laughing, "Shot, why you alway eat my food!?" Opening the door I can see a full set of the table out on the hallway.
"It taste amazing," giving me a big bright smile, the annoyance boiled up. This rich boy is a hopeless.
"No, that is why I said I am not going," I let out a low growl.
"Come on," andrew rolls his eyes a little, "it is not like I am saying to make you talk or anything."
"Andrew, let be serious here," I pointed at him with my pen, "Uncle and you are the hanbridge family. I am the kagari family, and you know I am not interested in going to a witch school."
"Yeah right," he push my pen away from him, "last time I check you are a magic freak." putting his hand up a little, he did the sparkling thing.
"I might be interested in magic, you and uncle aren't," his face darken a little, "not like I am blaming you." Everyone has hope for him, so I wouldn't blame him for doing his best to keep up their hope. But I hate how he never thought about his dream, not what other want him to do.
"...I know what you going to say so don't even say it," he is sulking a little.
"Good job, you learn," I flip another page and continued to write down my notes. I can hear him letting out a small sigh.
"Akko, come on. It is not a bad offer for you now is it?" andrew put his hand on top of my paper blocking everything.
"It is bad enough when I have to go with two idiots," Looking back up at him, he gave me the puppy eye, "and if I get to excited over the magic thing, uncle will be super pissed."
"...fine," sinking down into his chair he let out another sigh.
"If you don't want to go then don't go," something poked my face.
"Dad want me to go," with that he drop the pen. This person really is hopeless….well in front of me he is.
"SHE IS A WITCH CATCH HER!?" sharing a look we looked over to the closed library door.
"HEY, LET GO OF ME!" a somewhat girl like voice. Getting out of my chair I head toward the door.
"What is all the noise out here?" andrew open the door with me. A person dressed in our uniform was pin down onto the floor by a blond boy. The son of the chairman was it. Forgot his name already, but I know something, he is a jerk.
"Andrew and atsuko," he smiled at us, "we just caught a witch."
"...If she is a witch wouldn't she get away from you with magic?" the girl, I guess, has pink blond hair. More pink then blond I guess. All the man froze for a moment.
"Well she has a witch wand, plus with the fact she came in here without any permission is already unforgivable." Yep, this person is a jerk.
"Louis," oh, so that is his name, "even if that is true, you shouldn't do this. We are train to be like gentleman, and right now you are doing the polar opposite," andrew was somewhat right.
"Are you siding with a witch andrew?" he narrowed his eyes.
"Not at all, I just thought you might settle this the traditional way," with that louise let go of the girl.
"You are right, let's settle this the traditional way, but!" he pointed to me, "Atsuko is not allowed to help."
"He isn't going to interfere either way," Louise let out a low laugh.
"Well then let's get this started already," everyone nodded their head as they all went their way to have the best view of the battle. Which to me and andrew were the tower right next to bridge that connects the left and right side of the school. There is no bar to support them from falling down, so they got to be extra careful.
"Once the coin fall onto the ground the battle will start," louise pull out a golden coin in front of him. The girl looked at it for only a few minutes then nodded her.
"Let's get this over with already," this girl sure sounds confident. At her words louise throws the coin into the air, me and andrew watched slowly. As soon as the coin got between louise and the girl he strike. To my surprise the girl dodged it, "I thought you said when it hit the ground!"
"There is no need to follow this rule with a witch," avoiding many of louise's attack the girl finally fought back, "hmp, a witch without magic is like an open air!" he push a step forward again. Some of the kids around us let out a few gasp.
"We will see about that!" the girl push back. As soon as their blades parted, the charge forward with her next attack. Her hand on the ground, she did the spin kick. Louise kept on backing up until finally his blade hit stone. Pointing her sword at the boy she smiled, "you lost." This girl is pretty impressive, but her way of looking at people might cause a little problem.
"I guess the battle ends here," andrew walked down to the stone bridge. Louise slump back down onto the ground, "you better go back to your school." Andrew said to the girl. Looking at andrew for a moment, she looked back at me.
"..." she looks somewhat pleased yet displeased. A broom pop out on her hand, wow this is amazing. A light fist his my chest, andrew shook his head. Okay okay I got it, calm down right? Sure sure. Sitting on the broom the girl left the all boys school. Walking over, I reach out a hand.
"What you want?" his eyes narrowed, "here to make fun of me?"
"If this is what you think then I will take this hand back," I stay put for a while. Just when I retreat my hand he reached out for it. Pulling him up I patted him on the back, "nice try, let's hope you win next time."
"..." he didn't say anything as I walk back to andrew.
"Let go eat, I am starving," I rubbed my stomach a little.
"You are just so carefree," I smiled at his word.
"This is me after all," with that as a cue, we both left the standing tower. Walking down the so very long stairs I stretched my body and light hit my back. Andrew only laugh saying I was like an old man, rude.
"Who are you calling old!" I pokked his cheek, he only lightly brush it off. Our small jokes continued as we head back to the library. The same open book, the same moved chair, and the same mess we made on the desk. Okay fine, I made the mess. You can't blame me, I was working okay?
The night breeze feels so amazing. Andrew and Uncle has already left to the witch school. I wonder what is it like? Fun? No it is a witch school so I guess scary. Do they do dark magic or something, awww I wish I could go check it out one day. Andrew did invite me, but going there when I can't enjoy myself is a pain.
"Hmm?" what is this? Small flying square? Sitting up a little, I let it rest on my hand. I shook it a little, poked it, toss it between my hands. Nothing, feeling like a stupid kid I throw the cube into the night sky. In the distance I saw a tiny light, what was that all about? Well not that I care.
"Akko!" jumping a little, andrew calm up onto the roof.
"Dude, would you not scare me like that?" ignoring my question he hold onto both of my arms and start to shake me a little, "S-T-O-P IT!" chopping his head he finally stopped.
"My bad," sitting down next to me.
"So? What caused all this shaking?" scratching his head a little he said in a small voice.
"I don't know," what? "I don't know what dad will say if I told him that I invited a witch to our next party."
"You did what!?" this person got to be crazy, "My dear cousin, you know uncle better than me. If I can tell that he is going to explode from anger then I bet you know that too."
"I know, but…." he went quiet for a moment, "I just thought, I want to know them a little better."
"...Are you sick?" shit, I never would've thought a day like this would happen.
"I am serious akko," he shook my hand off, "Me and Frank just….you know."
"Got possessed?" he roll his eyes again.
"No, just found this curiosity. Dad say magic is a unwanted thing in this world, and I came to believe that too, but I am not so sure of it anymore. Akko, like how you are so interested in magic and everything, I just wonder is it really unwanted."
"First of all, you are human and I am not," he stiffen for a moment, "second, magic is something the witches need. Human, I am not so sure about."
"What about you? You are not a witch or a human, what you think?" This is the first time he is like this. Looking down on my hand I put in some thought.
" It is something that I…" Closing my mouth I reworded what I plan on saying, "To me magic is many things. If you have to ask is it something you need in this world, I will have to say I don't know. But I can tell you that it is some that should be in this world."
"Why is that?" His green eyes was shining a little.
"Because it was the something that has existed within this world longer than anyone, or anything. Something that should be here. I don't think it should be taken away, for any reason." Feeling a little bashful I waved my hand a little, "forget it." But only andrew was already lost in thought. I always call him hopeless, but sometime no in front of everyone else he is an amazing young man. So at time like this I know I can count on him for many things.
"Akko," he seems to finally snap out of his thought, "do you want to meet a witch."
"Already did," I slowly slid down the roof, getting near my room window, "but I guess I don't mind meeting another one."
"Look forward to the party then," a small laugh left my mouth. So he is finally going to decide to make some decision on his own now.
"Kay kay night," I waved my hand.
"One kay is enough, and say okay not kay," ignoring his words, I pop my head into my room. Wow, today was full of shock. A witch showing up in our school, a duel, then andrew's sudden thoughts? Is it going to storm tonight or what? Laughing to myself a little, I guess it is some good change. Laying back down onto my bed I let out a happy sigh. Can't wait till the party I guess.
"...!" The cube, how did it get in here? The black red float around the room as if looking for something. It start spinning in a very fast speed, many of the other cubes just come into the room. How do they do that? My window was not even open. Grabbing a sharp basket hilt swords I pointed at the cube. As soon as it stop spin, a small thing showed itself. Fairy? Goblin? No this is a machine, the machine held out a letter. Pointing the tip of the sword at the machine I said in a cold voice, " I don't care who you are or what you want, leave!" Even at my yelling the machine didn't move. Okay this is creepy and this machine is pissing me off.
"Atsuko-sama?" a maid? Looking back the machine was gone, it has already turn back into many cubes and floated out my window.
"It is nothing," the cube was already nowhere in sight, even so the letter was still left on the floor.
"..."picking up the letter, I open up the envelope. The word idiot was written in big letters. Crumpling the paper I throw it into the trash. I felt stupid for even thinking it is something important. Let's go to bed and pretend nothing happen.
Where am I? The world in front of me was surrounded in blue, calm blue. The sky is more of a dark blue if not black. While the water I was standing on is light blue. Inside the water you can see many tiny stars looking back at you, but there was no reflection of me. A drop of water, then another, on the third drop a girl showed up from the sky. She was riding a broom, her uniform look like ones from Luna Nova, witch school. Her wavy greenish blonde hair with bright yellow highlights looks like they were dancing as she came down to the water. It was a sad thing that I couldn't see her face. Holding a wand she smiled at me. Who is she? With a swing of her wand, my vision became white.
"Wait!" Opening my eyes again I was back in my room. A dream?
