"Papa, Mama, I want to ask you something." Ushio started to talk while eating her dinner.

"What is it, Ushio?" Tomoya asked her only daughter.

"Do you know I will be transferred to another high school in full scholarship in my second year?" She asked her parents shyly.

A Crossover Story of Clannad and Charlotte

How Ushio could be in this mess? She was quiet normal while starting high school in Hikariza High School. But one day in the end of her first year, she knew them all. She could make an instant energy surge to fight back that lasts for 5 minutes. But after that, she must wait for another day to do that again with extreme exhaustion. So, this is what happened.

Ushio walked to her home alone after school. She was doing some paperwork for theater club reports. It was the last week of school so she must finished them all soon. She didn't know that she was followed by unknown man.

"Hey, girl! Where are you going?" He said from behind.

Ushio looked behind and saw a creepy man blocked the way back. Then she saw another two men blocked the way in front. She was trapped. The creepy men walked closer to her so she didn't have anywhere to escape.

"Why do you walk alone, girl? Such a waste for a pretty girl like you." One of the men walked closer to her and touched her face. She flinched.

"Heh… This one is a hard one, huh." He said as the two other men closed any escape door available. She was trapped.

"Well, then walk with me. Heheh…" One man grabbed her wrist forcefully and started to drag her but she just stood there.

Suddenly, she felt a danger within her. Something happened to her. Her eyes turned into a blood red. She could feel every muscle in her body tensed. She felt multiple times more powerful.

"Don't…" she said in a small voice.

"Hee? What do you say? You don't want to go, huh? Then how do you feel about this?" A heavy punch started to fly straight to her.

Everything went slow for Ushio, she saw the punch right away and easily evade them. Her evasive movement made the man punched directly to another man.

"What? Impossible!? She was too fast to see!"

Ushio started to pull her hand and clenched them tightly ready for a powerful punch. She threw a fast and powerful punch to a man's face.

"I SAID DON'T!" She roared.

"Urgh!" He fell unconscious.

The two men left rushed to attack her with knives. She easily evades them and tackled them until they fell and hit their head to the solid concrete ground.

"Uargh…" Now it's Ushio's chance to run.

So, Ushio ran as fast as she could do. She ran so fast that any regular eyes couldn't see her movements. She finally reached her home. It was once her grandfather's house until Tomoya, her father, decided to move in so he could take care of this house for his father. Ushio forcefully opened the door.

"I'm Home!" She entered the house while catching her breaths and wiping her sweats.

"Shio-chan? What happened to you?" Her mother greeted her and came after her. Nagisa saw her now red eyes slowly turned into her normal brownish eyes.

"Mama…" Ushio started to fell unconscious.

Nagisa caught Ushio's body and dragged her slowly to her bed and let her rest. Nagisa checked her body temperature and it was normal. She let a relieved sigh. Ushio just exhausted. Nagisa knew that Ushio is a very active girl since she was little. Ushio even attended two clubs and those are basketball club and newly established theater club.

Nagisa changed Ushio's clothes and briefly examined her uniform. Nagisa felt uncertain. Those eyes turned into a red blood color. She could see a little red stain on her uniform. It's blood. She was very certain of that. But Nagisa knew that today was not Ushio's period day. What happened?

"DING DONG…" The bell rang.

Nagisa quickly got the door and saw one of the neighbors, Okuda Inari.

"Okuda-san, is there something I could help?" Nagisa asked her.

"Okazaki-san? Is Shio-chan okay? I saw her fighting with some men on her way home. She was running so fast that I could not catch up to her." She asked Nagisa.

"Fighting?" Nagisa asked her.

"I think they are three men from the perv gang who has harassed so many teenagers around. The police had arrested them for good now after Ushio made them fell into unconscious. Maybe, the perv wants to harass Ushio before it was happened."

"Ushio is okay. She is now sleeping. Maybe, she's too tired." Nagisa said to her.

"Thank god, now please excuse me, Okazaki-san." Her neighbor walked to her home.

Her concern was true. She knew it. She walked to her daughter's room and entered. She sat on her bed and wait until Ushio woke up.

"Mama…" Ushio opened her eyes and started to talk.

"Shio-chan, what happened to you?" Nagisa asked her.

"Perv gang, three of them. They were trying to lure me to their trap. And it was happening so fast. I didn't know what's happening to me, Mama." She started to open up.

"My mind was blurred. It seemed like rage. But I think it's not, Mama. There's no rage triggered so easily. It was different. What I have in mind only to fight and escape." She continued.

"Mama, I'm scared." Ushio's body started to tremble. "Can I cry?" She asked her.

Nagisa embraced her daughter so she could cry in her mother's arms. This was very scary for her. Nagisa knew it. After a long time, Ushio stopped to cry and slept in her mother's lap.

"Knock… Knock…" A soft knock on Ushio's door.

"Come in…" It was Tomoya.

"What happened to Ushio?" Tomoya asked.

"I don't know, Tomoya-kun. I heard from our neighbor Okuda-san, she was involved in a fight with three men from perv gang. She got home, drenched in sweat and directly fell unconscious." She said.

"Her eyes. They were red as blood before she fell unconscious." She continued.

"There's definitely something happened to her." Tomoya said as he caressed his daughter's hair.

"What should we do, Tomoya-kun?" Nagisa asked him.

"RIIIING… RIIIING…" The phone rang loudly.

"I get that." Tomoya walked to the phone and got it.

"Okazaki here. Is there anything I could help?"

"This is Tomori Nao from Houshinoumi Academy Student Council. Is this Okazaki Ushio's parent or guardian?"

Tomoya did as Tomori said. He will keep this as secret and agreed to transfer Ushio to Houshinoumi Academy for her safety. Houshinoumi Academy is a newly established school in the town near Hikariza. Ushio will live alone but at least safe in a condo near the school. Tomoya asked Nagisa's opinion and Nagisa accepted.

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Okazaki, Let us do the announcement for her. She won't easily agree to transfer. But let us "persuade" her." It was the last sentence Tomori said before she hung up.

"Mama, Papa, I'm going!" Ushio said as she exited the door.

"Okay, be careful, Ushio!" Nagisa and Tomoya said as the same time.

Ushio walked to the school quietly. She remembered everything from yesterday and felt anxious about that. How could she become that strong even she could beat three men from perv gang? Moreover she felt someone following her since she left her home.

"Good morning, Shio-chan!" One of her friend greeted her.

"Good morning!" she replied.

"I heard you were involved with a fight against the perv gang, is that true?"

Ushio cursed the power of small town and gossip. This was bad.

"Hmm… Somehow like that." She replied as ambiguous as she could to avoid the gossip getting worse and worse.

"By the way, gotta go! I got something involved the club I need to finish first before the class started!" Ushio laid and dashed quickly. She knew someone who followed her has becoming so much closer.

Ushio ran until she found herself behind the school. It was perfect so she could face the one followed her unnoticed. She readied herself in fighting stance. Being an active girl, she has taken martial arts class.

"Hey, show yourself! I know you have followed me since this morning!" She shouted.

Suddenly she felt a whoosh of air close to her. She readied herself and kicked everything that was in front of her. It still not down. Suddenly it came to her. She pulled and clenched her hand. The ground where she stood suddenly shattered as like some heavy gravity affected the ground. Her eyes turned into red. She suddenly could see the one who charged at her. She was going to throw a sweet powerful punch to his stomach but stopped as someone hugged her from behind.

"Listen to me! Relax and breath! Hear my heartbeat and calm down!" A voice from someone who hugged her instructed her.

His voice made her flinch. It was calming her. She tried so bad to calm down and relax. She knew the man who hugged her was strong as he could hold her back. She finally calmed herself down and started to fell into unconscious.

"Takajo, please hold her. We took her to the infirmary." A girl said to the man who held Ushio.

"Hah, she almost got me there. Thanks man." Another man said.

"Is she okay? Yusarin worried about her." Another girl said before Ushio completely lose her consciousness.

Ushio started to wake up. She felt so fresh like nothing happened. She knew she was in school's infirmary. She noticed four people standing around the bed she was on. She knew they were not from Hikariza High School as they wear different uniforms.

"What happened? Is "it" happened again? And who are you?" She asked them.

"For starter, that was "Bloodlust". That was your ability and that was actually a sickness. My name is Tomori Nao from Houshinoumi Academy student council and I used to have an ability." A girl with white hair said.

"I am Otosaka Yuu, owner of over thousands of ability but I couldn't take any ability anymore because that will cause a major damage to my brain. By the way, you were almost got me earlier." A one-eyed boy said. Then Ushio knew that boy was the one who charged her.

"Ah, Yusarin!" Ushio said spontaneously.

"Yes, I am Kurobane Yusa! You can call me Yusarin!" Yusa said.

Then Ushio looked into the last person. He was the one who successfully calmed her down with his voice and strong arms. She blushed when she remembered him hugged her.

"Oh, I'm Takajo Jojiro. I'm sorry for holding you like that before." He said to her with the same voice he used while calmed Ushio.

"Ah, it's okay. And thank you for holding me back there. I don't know what will happen if you didn't stop me." Ushio said forming a little smile.

"Probably Otosaka will stay in hospital for months." Takajo said to her while replying her smile.

"On top of that, I will tell and ask you something. As I said earlier, your ability is a sickness that will fade away after you graduated from high school. But since Otosaka here could not take abilities anymore to prevent brain damage, I will ask you to transfer to Houshinoumi Academy on your second year and so on. We need you to stay under our supervision and work for us." Tomori said to her.

"And what's in for me then?" Ushio asked them.

"You will receive a full scholarship and free accommodation. Plus if you work for us, I am sure you will be paid well. Well, you don't want to be a lab rat and suffered, right? Your parents love you so much, right? They have agreed to this for your safety." She said.

Hearing that even her parents agreed, she could not say no to them. Plus they have so much effort to bring her there and almost made Otosaka injured.

"Tsk… You talk like I have so many options. Fine then, I agreed to transfer but in one condition." Ushio said.

"What is it, Okazaki?" Tomori asked her.

"You must ensure my parent's safety. They love this town so I don't want my parents to go with me." Ushio said.

"Yes, we do know. One of the school attendant called us earlier and told us about that." Tomoya said.

"We will start to move your belongings tomorrow. So, don't wake up late, Shio-chan." Her mother gave her a pat on her head.

"I won't, Mama. And don't worry, I promise to be a good girl." Ushio said as she knew she will miss this moment forever after.
