~ Chapter One: The important task ~
Normal P.O.V.
''Oto-sama, what's going on? Why am I here?'' A pretty, fourteen year old girl asked her father.
She had waist-length red hair and big, brown eyes. She wore here small, pink ribbon on top of her head, just like she always did.
''My dearest daughter, Ariane. I have an important message for you.'' The father of the girl, with the name Ariane, replied.
''Nane, Oto-sama?'' The girl asked.
She was in a big, throne room, with her father on the throne. She kneeled in front of him.
''Kimutso Ariane, princess of Daleville, first-class sword mistress and my dearest daughter. I've given you the important task to protect a big group of teenagers.'' He spoke.
''Teenagers?'' Ariane asked surprised.
Her father, King Kimutso Matoku, nodded.
''Yes. my dearest. It's not just an ordinary task.'' He said.
''Why, Oto-sama?'' Ariane asked him.
''They've been threatened with death.'' He explained.
Her eyes widened.
''But why?'' She asked her father.
''In Inazuma Town, the village you will be send to, football is an important thing. The teenagers are from a soccer club called Inazuma Japan. They're in great danger.'' Ariane's father explained.
''And why do I have to protect them, Oto-sama? My brother is way more skilled than I am.'' Ariane said to her father.
Her father suddenly had a sad glare in his eyes.
''Your brother didn't return from his mission. My troops have found him dead in the mountain area in our country. He died during a battle.'' He said with a sad undertone.
Ariane putted her hands in front of her mouth.
''It can't be!'' She shouted. ''Not my dear brother!''
Her father looked pitiful at her.
''I'm sorry, my dear.'' He said.
Ariane felt tears running down her cheeks.
''Who killed him?'' She asked determined.
''Casgar's troops. We suspect that he's also the one who send that threatening letters to the soccer club.'' Ariane's father explained to his daughter.
Ariane gritted her teeth.
''I'll accept this task with full honor and promise that I won't fail.'' She said, while she made a deep bow against her father.
Her father smiled.
''Rise, my dear daughter.'' He said.
Ariane stood up.
''May the odds be with you.'' He said, while he made praying movement.
Ariane closed her eyes, clasped her hands together and said the final words.
''Arigato, dear king.'' She said, while she made another bow.
''Now, go and finish where your brother stopped.'' Ariane's father said.
Ariane nodded.
''I will.'' She said.
She made one, last bow and left the throne room.
''I will take revenge on this. Casgar's troop will regret this murder! I'll get them!'' She growled.
Then, she walked to her room, packed her most important belongings and left the castle.
-Time skip. Monday morning. Raimon Junior High-
''Ohayo, minna!'' Endou said cheerful to his friends, when he entered the school yard.
''Ohayo, Endou-kun!'' Aki replied to him.
Endou joined his friends.
''Minna, anyone some important news?'' He asked curious.
''I heard there's going to be a new girl on this school from today on.'' Haruna said.
''I wonder what she'll look like.'' Fuyuka said.
The boys sighted.
''Maybe she's hot.'' Fudou said grinning.
''Fudou, you big pervert!'' The group shouted.
''Oi, I was just joking!'' He said.
Everybody, except him, sweatdropped.
''Look, I think that's her.'' Kidou said, while he pointed at a girl with long, red hair that entered the school yard.
She looked shy around her, and stroke her new uniform.
''KAWAII!'' All the boys shouted.
All the girls face palmed.
''Oh god, that will be another fight about who will get her.'' Fuyuka sighted.
She glared at her boyfriend, Endou.
''Endou, remember. You already have a girlfriend.'' Fuyuka said with a threatening undertone.
Endou grinned sheepishly.
''Ehehehe… I know, Fuyuka.'' He said.
Fuyuka smiled.
''Good!'' She replied.
Aki glared at her boyfriend, Ichinose.
''And what about you?'' She asked him.
Ichinose laughed a bit uncomfortable.
''I only love you, you know that, right?'' He said quick.
Aki blushed.
''Awwhh… that's so sweet!'' He said.
Haruna sighted.
''Goenji, I don't like it when you stare at other girls! It makes me jealous!'' She said.
Goenji turned around and looked at his girlfriend.
''Gomen, Haruna. I only like you.'' He said.
Haruna blushed and hugged him.
''Yay!'' She said.
The other boys kept glaring. Ariane was looking around very uncomfortable. Why is everybody staring at me? She sighted.
''Ohayo!'' She suddenly heard a voice beside her.
''O-Ohayo.'' She replied shy to the boy, who said it.
She examined the boy. He had half long, red hair and a bit of a pale skin. His teal eyes were staring friendly at her.
''A-Ano, who are you?'' She asked a bit scared.
The boy smiled.
''Don't be afraid. I'm not gonna hurt you.'' He said with a smile.
Ariane relaxed.
''I'm Kiyama Hiroto.'' The boy said.
Ariane smiled at him.
''H-Hi. I'm Kimutso Ariane.'' She said.
She made a small bow towards him. Hiroto smiled.
''Are you new?'' Hiroto asked her.
''H-Hai.'' Ariane replied with a shy blush on her cheeks.
''Where are you from?'' Hiroto asked her.
''Daleville.'' Ariane replied.
''Daleville?'' Hiroto asked full of disbelieve. ''That's on the other side of the country.''
Ariane nodded.
''It was a big step for me.'' She said.
Hiroto smiled.
''Well, if you need a friend. I'm here.'' He said, while he smiled anime-style.
Ariane felt a warm sensation going through her stomach. She liked this guy.
''Geez… Hiroto's timing is perfect. As always.'' Midorikawa said jealous, while he stood with the others.
''Why did he had to be late right on this day?'' Kidou asked pouting.
Kabeyama grinned.
''Well, I think they're cute together.'' He said.
''Shut up, Kabeyama.'' Fudou said.
Kabeyama immediately turned quiet.
''Go-Gomenasai!'' He said stammered.
''Fudou, be nice!'' Haruna shouted.
''Hmpf, I can do what I want.'' He said.
Haruna rolled with her eyes.
''Hey, they're coming towards here!'' Kogure shouted.
Hiroto walked towards the soccer group with Ariane shy behind him.
''Minna, this is the new student of our school: Kimutso Ariane.'' He said.
''O-Ohayo.'' Ariane said shy to the group.
''Ohayo!'' All the boys replied lovely to her.
The girls groaned towards the boys by their stupid action.
''Don't mind the boys, Kimutso-san. They just think you're hot.'' Haruna said grinning.
Ariane turned red.
''Na-Nane yo!'' She shouted, while she looked scared through her eyes.
''Don't worry. We'll protect you.'' Fuyuka said with a smile.
''This is the soccer team of Raimon Junior High: Inazuma Japan.'' Aki introduced them.
''And we are the managers.'' Haruna said proud, while she pointed at herself and her two best friends.
''Nice to meet you all.'' Ariane said, while she made a deep bow.
''Hey, you don't have to be so formal.'' Ichinose said laughing.
''Gomen, gomen. That's just the way I are.'' Ariane said with a shy blush.
''It's okay. Well, let's go to class already.'' Hiroto said.
''H-Hai.'' Ariane said, as she followed him.
''Wow, she sure is already attached to Hiroto.'' Midorikawa said.
''Jealous, Midorikawa?'' Aki asked grinning.
''Na-Nane yo!'' He replied.
Aki started laughing. Meanwhile, Hiroto asked the teacher for permission to who Ariane the school under class. The teacher nodded and smiled.
''All right, let's go!'' Hiroto said to Ariane.
''H-Hai!'' She replied, as she followed him.
Ariane's P.O.V.
I felt really shy when I walked behind Hiroto. I always act shy towards people. Expect for my brother and my father. My brother… I felt tears welling up in my eyes.
''Ano, daijoubu?'' Hiroto asked me.
I nodded and faked a smile.
''Hai, gomenasai. I just… thought about something.'' I said.
''Something unpleasant?'' He asked me.
I nodded.
''You can tell me if you want to.'' Hiroto said with a smile.
I smiled at him.
''Nandemo nai.'' I replied, while I wiped away the tears that escaped my eyes.
Hiroto looked worried at me.
''You're really sure?'' He asked me.
I nodded.
''Hai. Continue the tour, please.'' I said, while I made a small bow.
Hiroto smiled.
''You're so polite.'' He said.
I blushed.
''Well, my father taught me to always be polite to everybody, even if you don't like them.'' I explained.
''So you don't like me?'' Hiroto asked teasingly.
''Go-Gomen! I didn't meant it that way!'' I said, while I bowed.
Hiroto laughed.
''Easy. It was just a joke.'' He said.
I smiled.
''Well, let's continue the tour.'' He said.
He started to walk again, while he told me things about the school. He's sure special.
''Something wrong?'' Hiroto asked me, when I kept staring at him.
''Gomen! That was rude from me.'' I said to him.
He smiled.
''No, it's okay. I like you.'' He said.
''Hontōdesuka?'' I asked him.
He smiled.
''Yeah. And I just met you half an hour ago.'' He said laughing.
I smiled too. Then suddenly, we heard a scream.
''Nane?'' I asked scared.
''It came from our class!'' Hiroto said.
He grabbed my wrist and dragged me back to our class. There, I saw a man, covered in black, with a knife on Haruna's neck.
''Not. One. Move.'' He said to us.
I saw Kidou and Goenji's face turning very pale. Haruna was silent, but tears ran down her cheeks.
''Let her go!'' I shouted.
''And who are you?'' The man asked me.
''None of your business.'' I said, while I took a step forward.
''Stop right there, or this girl will get a nice cut in her neck.'' The man said grinning.
I panicked. What do I have to do? It's my job to protect them.
''What do you want?'' I asked him.
''The entire destruction of Inazuma Japan.'' The main said with an evil smile.
All members of Inazuma Japan looked shocked.
''Do YOU want that, or your boss?'' I asked him grinning.
''You little brat…'' The man mumbled.
He took the knife of Haruna's neck and pushed her on the ground. Haruna quickly crawled away. The man ran towards me, with his knife ready to strike me. I quickly jumped up and made a summersault over him.
''Too slow.'' I said with a smile.
I ran towards my bag and grabbed my sword out of it.
''Oh my gosh, you have a sword in your bag?'' Aki asked shocked.
I smiled at her.
''Gomen for not telling you.'' I said apologizing.
I quickly dodged an attack from the man.
''You'll be dead meat.'' The man shouted.
''Matte!'' I shouted.
The man stopped.
''I have a suggestion. If you'll take me with you, will you leave the other people here alone?'' I asked him.
I lowered my sword. The man looked shocked for a couple of seconds. Then he nodded silently. I let myself got wrapped tight by my wrists and they took my sword.
''Kimutso-san!'' Everybody shouted.
''Don't worry. Daijōbudayo.'' I said to them with a smile.
They all looked very worried. I was getting dragged away. I pretended not to be scared, but from the inside, I was petrified. But I was glad that the other were save now. I was lifted up by the man and he putted a cloth with a narcotic liquid in front of my mouth. I tried not to breath, but I was running out of air. I gasped for air and immediately felt sleepy.
''Sweet dreams.'' The man mumbled.
Then, everything turned black.
