Summary: Nothing yet. But there's a story and definitely Shiznat.
PM me or leave a review if you have some suggestions. I'm open to anything as long as they're connected with magic, unusual creatures, yadda, yadda.
This is my new story. I'm not supposed to post this yet but decided against it. My first story "Your Past, My Present, Our Future" is now known as "Another Chance for Us." I'm currently editing the previous chapters. I'm going to clean them first before I create a new future chapter. Any beta reader out there? I really need some good soul to be my beta coz' I want my stories to be readable as much as possible.
This is a Shiznat story with various minor pairings. You need to vote on my poll for the pairings that you would like to see.
Disclaimer: Too bad Sunrise owns these characters. If only rainee-chan or Ate Han_dj owns them for sure the story will be a lot better.
Thanks very much to Ate Hand_Dj for inspiring me to post this story. Thank you talaga ng marami, ate.
Chapter One
"The Introduction"
Natsuki Kuga's P.O.V.
It was a bright sunny morning; I was sitting here at the top of my favorite tree near the entrance gate of my school, Fuuka Academy of Magic. It's a little bit windy today and it's a good thing I'm wearing my knee length shorts and soccer jacket with the school shirt underneath.
I still don't get this climate thing. Yesterday it was raining hard while the other day it was snowing and today… Man, I can pretty well feel the sun caressing my face yet the wind's blowing my hair so hard. I sighed and blew the hair that was invading my view. Oh well, waiting is good than sitting inside the class while listening to those ridiculous lessons.
I don't know what came over me when I accepted this task. Of all people the headmistress assigned me to wait for this Shizuru girl. What is she, five? Can't she walk to school by herself? And what am I doing here again? This is my first time doing something this stupid. For one, I hate waiting and ushering a new student to school is also not my thing.
So why am I here again? Yeah, I remember. She threatens me to tell my father about my shenanigans. Can you blame me, those idiots who call themselves teachers were messing with the youngsters teaching them with impractical magic?
How can they save themselves in times of danger if all they can do is evade and counter attack? They also need to know how to vanish like a ninja and teleport to safe ground. Stupid fools! Even the youngsters know that as well.
Withdrawing from battle doesn't mean quitting a fight. Only a suicidal person remains in battle knowing he cannot combat anymore. As if a verbal attack can save his life. I know all about defending one's honor by standing proud in battle even with a battered soul. But what can one do when his mana and physical energy is drain? Talk about being practical.
I chuckled to myself knowing I'm the only living soul around here who is thinking like this not so early in the morning. This is what I do when I get bored.
Tick tack, tick tack. I glance at my wrist watch that's located at my right. That's right, I'm left handed. They say that lefty's are more intelligent and practical than the right handed person. Should I believe them? Who cares? I outbreathe another sigh after glancing at my watch.
"Woo. She's fifteen minutes late."
Why am I here again? I question myself the second time. I swear if she's a… Wait, what's that sound? Where is it coming from? I suddenly became alarmed because it was a girl's voice. A high pitched sound would only mean one thing. She has an ear sore sound.
Ouch! I suddenly covered my ears with my hands. I know now for a fact that having a very good hearing also have disadvantages. Whoever is screaming is probably in danger or just giving a dramatic entrance.
"Bloody hell."
Okay, I think I needed to stretch my stiff muscles for I might use them right away. I got up from my sitting position and got down from the tree. I exhaled a large amount of air and began walking towards the gate thinking of the worst that I might see once I set foot outside.
"Tsk, not bad."
There are two guys who are both holding a girl who's an inch taller than me. Both guys are only wearing a white polo shirt with the school's signature pants. The guy who's on the left side of the girl is wearing glasses. Nice shades!
There's also a bulky man on my left who's five feet away and a spike haired guy on my right side who looks stupid. Is that drool I see in the side of his mouth? Yuck! They are wearing the same uniform like my not so biological brothers but they don't look familiar at all. Hmmm… These guys are assaulting a fellow schoolmate and not to mention a girl. Boys these days…
I looked at the girl, she doesn't look frightened at all. Between her and these guys I'll bet my money on her. Her aura is a lot stronger than these guys. Well, I'm not saying that these guys are really that strong. And that leads me to the conclusion... I knew it; she's a newbie who's looking for attention. This is just her first day here, huh.
The bulky man walked towards me. I think he's studying me as well. That's right; use your brain first before your muscles.
I wonder what these guys see in me to scowl like that. I'm just standing here with my hands inside my shorts' pockets. Oh yeah, I also have this fierce look in my face that most of my enemies hate. I shown them a smirk that Nao will be proud of coz' I know that I intimidate them.
One of the guys who are holding the girl suddenly gave me a predatory gleam. I hate his smile. I wonder if he's still going to smile after I gave him the taste of my FK. Not French kiss! I'm planning to give him my special flying kick.
I close my eyes to lengthen my patience; it helps me control my temper. They say my temper is one of my weaknesses. Ah, yes, that helps. Not opening my eyes I had the urge to talk for not doing anything is really boring.
"I'll take it from here."
Five words, I know it's short but I hope they caught my meaning.
I heard the stupid guy from my right move and speak. "What?" What? Are you kidding me? I believe he heard me loud and clear. Temper, temper, don't lose it.
I took out my right hand and sighed for the hundredth time. I think sighing has become my habit today.
"I'll rephrase it. Let. The. Girl. Go." I accentuate the words more clearly. I also hate repeating myself. I told you I have a bad temper.
"Who do you think you are, huh?" Stupid, you don't really know what you're asking for.
Finally I opened my eyes and look straight at the girl's eyes.
"You're Shizuru right?" I saw her nod and a tiny smile graces her face. "Can I call you Shizuru?" Her smile widens for a reason I don't know and I don't care.
"Sure. And I take you're my welcome girl."
Ah what?! Her welcome girl? My right eyes and brows predictably twitch. This is a weird day, a weird task, weird bullies and a weird girl. So what's next? I'm rooting for a weird fight scene.
I sighed out of weirdness and answers. "Whatever." I saw her frown after I said that word."Drop your act Shizuru coz' I'm not buying it." There goes that smile again. Do I look funny today?
The bulky guy steps in front of me and points a finger on my chest. Damn! He caught me off guard. This is what I'm getting for dealing with that weird girl.
"Hey! Don't set us aside. We're still here you know." Who cares?
I massage my temples and start to walk away before saying, "Shizuru, deal with them okay. Be quick or I'll leave you behind." Yeah, be quick coz' I'm hungry, really, really hungry.
The temperature suddenly changes. Hmm, I wonder. I look up at the sky and close my eyes. One. Two.
"Hey welcome girl." That again. Natsuki, remember take a deep breath. I open my eyes and there she is walking beside me.
"Natsuki," I mumbled my name I hope she get what I mean.
"Natsuki?" She doesn't get it. My hopes are in vain.
I chuckled not even answering even though I know it's somehow rude. She's got this questioning stare before opening her mouth to ask. But before she questions me I beat her at that. "What's so funny?"
"What? How, how did you know I was going to ask you that and yeah, what's so funny?"
"You." That's my simple answer. Simple as it is yet I know she doesn't get it.
"Me?" Told yeah.
"Yes, you. You're funny coz' you're very predictable." I gave her the most obvious answer.
"I'm predictable now huh." Yes, absolutely.
We continue on walking till we spotted some of the students who are lurking around. Oh, what time is it? I was about to glance at my watch but then this new girl abruptly stops walking. I look at her and she has this questioning stare again. Her eye brows are meeting in between. What's her problem now? Don't sigh, don't sigh. I give up. I sighed before asking, "What's up?"
"Nothing, it's just. Amm…" She pauses for a while and taps her right index finger above her lip. "You haven't told me your name yet." Oh that.
"Trust me, I told you already." And I'm not one to repeat myself again. It's your loss.
"You have?" Oh, for the love of…
"Do you really give answers with another question?" Say no or else I'll slaughter you. I'll just tell the headmaster that I found you dead in the forest. Gah! This girl is starting to annoy me. You don't want to deal with a hungry and an annoyed Natsuki, I'm telling you.
"No." Good. I sighed once more and feel relieve."It's just that you made me feel nervous." Wow, I feel appreciated.
"Why? I haven't done anything wrong to you, have I?" I asked her with my right brows raise. C'mon, give me your best shot.
"Are you mad?" Do I have a reason to be?
"Don't worry; being mad today is not on my list." Yeah right, but don't push my temper.
"Good. But I bet you're a lot cuter when you're mad." What the hell?! Did she, I can't believe her. Someone, anyone, save me from this girl.
"I think you're just hungry. You're not making any sense at all."
"Okay." At last! A peace - "Where are we going?" - ful. Am I asking too much?
"First stop, the cafeteria. Come along now." Please let me have some peace.
"Is it that far?" Oh boy, she's smiling again. Wait till we teleport.
I stand closely to her and push her body intimately into mine. Don't get me wrong I just want to shut her up and have a nice and quiet lunch. Judging from the students loitering around it's already time for lunch.
She was startled at first but she's also blushing. Kawaii. Wait, did I just think of her as cute? Never mind. I think I'm starving like a bear now to think that she's cute.
I held her back and cradled her head in my shoulder. I almost forget the To Do's of Teleportation. "Close your eyes. Don't open it until I say so." Did she just shiver after I whispered at her ear? Odd.
"Okay, but…" Before she finishes her question I cut her off.
"Just trust me kay? I wouldn't do anything to hurt you." Now, where did that came from? Natsuki, you really need to eat.
I felt her nod at my shoulder. Whew. That's good.
"Just hold on tightly." I felt her arms tighten their hold. No need to choke me.
I close my eyes and began to concentrate on the doors of the cafeteria. That's right; I can already see the vending machine. Note to self: Drink first a can of Orange Juice.
Okay, here we go. I can already hear the clatter of utensils and the occasional murmurs of the students on the background.
I open my eyes and just as I suspected, I haven't lose my touch. There are already students everywhere. I gently push Shizuru off me and said, "You can open your eyes now."
She opens her eyes and swayed a little. I grab her shoulders smoothly and tried to steady her footing. Holy, I almost forget. The Orange Juice!
"Can you stand on your own?" I asked her with concern on my voice. It's partly my fault that she's feeling dizzy. Oh my, me too. I feel a little dizzy as well.
"I think so." She's not taking it lightly. Perhaps this is her first time teleporting.
"Hold still okay?" I place her left hand on the side of the vending machine.
I took some coins inside my pocket and inserted them inside the hole of the machine and press the number 3 button. I took two Orange Juice can and opened one first.
"Here, drink it. Try to drink all of it." I handed her the drink. I know it will make her feel better based from my own experience. After I saw her swallow the contents of the can I opened mine as well and started to drink from my own can. That's nice. After a mouthful of juice I no longer feel dizzy. I wonder how she feels. "Feeling any better?"
"Yeah, thanks." Obviously, coz' she is smiling again."So…"
"So?" I raise my eyebrows at this single question. I don't know what she's thinking now. Well it's not my fault that I can't read minds. That's Alyssa's job not mine.
"Why Orange Juice?" She looks at me daring to answer her question right away but I know she's not yet finish talking."Why not other beverage drinks like coffee, tea or water?" Told yah. Here we go again with the twenty one questions.
"Would you like to teleport again and try to drink those that you just mentioned?" Bull's eye! You can start looking now for another teleporter coz' I'm not going to go through it again thank you very much.
"Touché." She's kind of cute when she's pouting. What the? Bad Natsuki, bad thoughts. "Shall we head in?" She tilts her head pointing at the door to the cafeteria. She only received a nod from me. I'm too hungry to even form a word.
We walked in, silence graces the room once we're in the view and various eyes fell upon us. I'm already used with this kind of attention but I can pretty much see that this new girl is used with this as well. She's still a mystery to me, I have a lot of questions, but first, enough with this internal monologue I only have one purpose at this very minute and that is to eat.
Thanks for reading this story.
