Author's note: VERY IMPORTANT... not really, but still please read it, if you don't you might be confused for most of the story, okay now back to the actual point... sooooo Koku means wind in japanese and I actually have a reason for it, you will see later in the story why. And Koku's roommate is actually Kazuto/Kirito, he was also raised as Koku's brother...
P.S if you love to draw manga or anime please try drawing Koku in any random school uniform and email (my email is DarkeMagyk0322 ) it to me whose ever I think is the best will be the cover for the book :)
Enrollment
Koku POV
As I setted foot inside the classroom I would spend the rest of my school year... I had a feeling... that these years were going to be... special.
Kirito POV
Today I had gotten news that there would be a new transfer student coming to the school and would be sharing the dorm that was always mine and only mine with me. I had kinda expected the student to be more like Klein; dumb. But the student was the opposite, exact opposite. First, it wasn't a he it was a she. Second, she had an IQ of 279. Third, she scored 200% on her entrance exam when it isn't even possible to score that high. Despite knowing so many facts about her, I don't think that I've met her before... until now. I had expected a girl with brown short hair and glasses, but I had never been so wrong about something. As she walked into the classroom, her cherry blossom hair flowing in the wind made it look like cherry blossom petals flowing in the wind on a warm spring day. The streaks of crimson in her hair had made it look like red flames of fire dancing in the air under the full moon in the darkness of the night. But her hair wasn't the thing that captured my attention. It was her delicate eyes that did. Her right eye was the color of beryl blue with the pattern of the surface of the sea. Her left eye was the color of moonlit ice and seemed to glow a bit. The contrast of warm hair and cold eyes was brought together with her nice shape. I caught a glimpse of Klein and he was suffering a massive nose-bleed. But when I looked back at her she looked at me like I was her long-lost brother and when I looked into her eyes it really did feel like I was her long-lost brother.
Koku POV
As I quickly skimmed all the people in the room and saw a boy with with black hair that went just below his ears. His hair was pretty average, but he had eyes of a talented swordsman. Then I immediately knew that he was who he was; Kazuto, my long-lost brother.
"Koku! Koku!" I heard someone shout my name, but their voice had trailed off.
(We are in Koku's dream right now)
"Come on, hurry up! Let's go now!" Kazuto said cheerfully.
"Okay, Okay," I said in a slightly irritated tone "The plants are blocking the path and unlike you I can't control plants or fire!"
After finally giving up on traveling on land I jumped up and thrusted the air below me, resulting me to jump 5 feet into the air. Luckily I managed to maintain balance in the air... kind of. After staying in the air for about 3 seconds I fell down, but managed to regain balance and fly back up before hitting the ground with a loud "THUD".
"Where the heck did you go Koku?! Seriously, you're taking this joke way to far you know!" Kazuto shouted hoping for me to come from where ever I was.
But that just made me giggle and sort of lose my balance. While Kazuto was still shouting for me and hoping for me to actually give in, I carfully took an orb of water out of the lake, made it frigid cold, but still liquid... and when the orb of frigidness was right above Kazuto's head.
"Hey!" I shouted "Up here, Kazuto!"
In hearing my voice call his name, Kazuto looked up and in return for doing what I had asked him to do, a splash of below zero water was his reward. He coughed and sound like he choked so I flew closer to see if he was okay, to my surprise he was. More than okay, in return for the water he took some vines and pulled me by my legs toward him. When his mouth was close enough to my ears he yelled "What was that for!"
Even though he shouted so loudly into my ears he still had a hint of playfulness in his voice, which gave me hope to tease him more. The war of pranks between me and Kazuto lasted for a couple of hours and before we knew it, it was dark, too dark. Suddenly, I heard foot steps. Petrified, I took about half of the stream's water, turned the water into 5 massive ice falcions and lauched them full-speed at the direction the footsteps were coming from. The moment I felt the blades of ice pierce the unknown presence I knew I had done something unforgiveable.
A blood-curdling scream, full of pain and terror hurt my ears. There I saw my foster parents and Kazuto's real ones, pierced through with the blades of ice I built myself. Being Artemis's and Poseidon's only daughter and brought to earth by the moon I had the ability to control air from Artemis to help me when using a bow and arrow and the ability to control water from poseidon and I had 3 wishes from the moon. I could wish for anything except for more wishes. Paniced, I looked up at the moon with faitful eyes and asked for the ability to heal anything and anyone. But by the time the power had sunk into me... they had already died. Kazuto looked up at me like I was a monster, the moon light reflecting on his tears and eyes made me realize how mach he actually hated me.
Knowing that his parents couldn't be revived, he ran away from me, not daring to even take another glimpse at me. Hurt, I stood there looking down at the reflection of myself on the blade of ice. What have I done... I thought to myself Why do I even exsist... since I was born I've caused nothing... but trouble. I had felt a piercing cold tear trinkle down my cheek. But it didn't mind me because I had just remembered that before Kazuto and his family had taken my in, every day was like this. Painful, sad, and full of regret.
"Koku!" I heard someone shout.
Hearing my name, I woke up and jerked up in surprise. Slowly, opening my eyes I saw a white ceiling with sunlight pooring in from a window. Without a doubt I was in the infirmary. When I got up I felt a sharp pain in the back of my head. I had just remembered whta had happened before; while I was skimming everyone across the room I someone who looked shockily like Kazuto. Ignoring the pain, I got up and saw the guy who looked shockily like Kazuto staring at me.
"Hi! My name's Kazuto, what's yours?" the boy said in a welcoming tone.
That's when I realized he really was Kazuto
Kirito POV
As Koku, the new transfer student, twisted and turned in her sleep I knew that something was wrong. So when I gently laid the back of my hand on her forehead to see if she had a cold. The moment my hand touched her forehead I had realized that her skin was piercing cold. Probably more frigid than an ice cube. Pulling my hand quickly back in regret Koku's eyes had slowly opened. Knowing that she had a bad start to the day I kindly introduced myself to her.
"Hi! My name's Kazuto, what's yours?" I said with my sweetest my smile on.
As I was waiting for the answer there was an awkward silence between us. The silence was like a black hole that made me feel the need to cover up right away. When I opened my mouth to close the black hole of silence, no words had come out there was just continuos silence, because when ever I looked into her eyes there was just something about it that made me want to remember, but I just couldn't. It was like running a race, but when you nearly cross the finish line it just keeps on moving away from you, making it impossible to make it. The frustrating made me grit my teeth. Moving along I told Koku,
"Come on, we should get going our physical education is about to start." I said trying to stay calm.
"Okay..." Koku answered kind of dull.
I looked into her eyes to see if she was okay, but when I saw them, they were filled with sorrow and regret. Her eyes looked so sad, it was almost as if she were crying right here and now. In shock I jolted back a little. Without noticing me, Koku walked right past me, but even though she didn't touch me in the slightest bit, it felt as if she had gone right through me. Letting the past be the past I starteed following Koku to the gym. But for some weird reason I felt like Koku and I had met each other in the past.
Koku POV
He really doesn't remember me... I thought to myself Of course he wouldn't remember because I already change too much... As I walked to the gym I saw all the other girls wearing different clothing other than our normal school uniforms.
"Here you'll have to go to the girls' locker room and change into your gym outfit before you go and play basketball with them, okay?" Kazuto said.
So as I slowly pushed the doors to the girls' locker room open I realized that it was empty. Going to the locker with my name on it saw that there was the uniform that the rest of the girls were wearing. So without hesitating I changed into the uniform. Just as I finished changing into the white T-shirt and red shorts, I sensed a presence opening the door to the girs' locker room. I ran toward the door of the room and every step I took I thrusted the air below me making it so I ran a lot faster than the speed of sound. It was a technic that I had taught myself at the age of 4 and at that time I had named it, "Sound Boost". The moment I came to the door I saw a guy with scruffy pink hair held up by a maroon bandana with 2 thin strips of mustard yellow marked on the side of it. I had seen the guy some where, but I just wasn't sure where it was. Then I remembered that he was in my class. He was the boy that sat right next to Kazuto. Not caring about him, I came up to him and said "Excuse me," even though I ha dsaid the two words in a polite tone I still gave a glare that nearly knocked him of his feet.
After passing Klein I made my way to the gym. I took at peek at what they were doing all the people were just getting into groups of 5. As I gradually made my way down the steps 4 girls looked at me.
"Do you want to join our group?" they asked kindly.
I just stared blinking in confusion at them.
"Oh, I guess you don't know us yet since you're new here," the one with tan hair said, "I'm Asuna Yuuki, this is Silica Ayano Keiko," Asuna said pointing to a girl who was a lot shorter, but still had the same hair color as her, "This is Sinon Asada Shino," pointing to a girl with short brown hair and glasses, "And last, but not least this Lisbeth Shinozaki Rika,"
Before I could introduce myself, Shinozaki interrupted me, "Hey! Why did you have to introduce yourself first and me last, huh?!" Shinozaki said slightly pissed.
"What does that have to even do with anything?!" Asuna argued back
"Yeah, that's right, Shinozaki what does this have to do with anything, huh?!" Ayano said, joining Asuna'a side
"You're just joining Asuna's side because she introduced you 2nd, but what I'm trying to say is that we should both team up on Asuna because she introduced herself before both of us!" Shinozaki said trying to get Ayano on her side
"You know what? I think that you're right, let's go team up on Asuna!" Ayano said convinced
"Hey! Now both of you are against me!? Not fair!" Asuna said disapointed
"Hey, come on now guys... Let's try to sort things out..." Asada said softly
Noticing the scene in front of me, I let a little of the laughter I've been trying to keep inside for since the had started arguing. Then, from a little giggle I started laughing a lot.
"Okay," I said, still a little giggly, "I'll join your group,"
Happy that I finally had peope I could call friends I smiled to myself quietly.
Kirito POV
As heard an argument break, I realized that it wasn't big when I saw that the source the voices were coming from Asuna, Ayano, and Shinozaki. They're group always included them and Asada. For some reason my sight was glued on to them and I couldn't looked away and I realized the reason my sight was attracted to them so much because Koku was with them. Noticing that on the first day of school Koku had already gotten friends, I smiled a little. When I noticed Klein infront of me I saw the corner I his lips curve up slightly. When I saw that his attention was glued to the same thing that mine was I could only think that he was feeling hapy for Koku, but when I leaned toward him to get a closer look at his expression I saw that he was smiling, but it wasn't a good one. I was one that evil master minds would get when they thought of an extremly evil idea, but it wasn't just his wicked smile that stunned me, it was the dark aura around him.
Koku POV
As I slowly walked down the couple of stairs the gang of girls were explaining to me how their plan out to lead our group to victory I was only half listening be cause I could feel a negitive aura keeping watch over us. Even though had had the side efect of sensing all presences in the air, I could pin point where this presence was coming from. After spending nearly a minute still trying to pin point the presence I finally gave up and let it slip away.
The whistle blew signaling the game of basketball to start. The game that we were playing was an unique one. There weren't just two teams playing, there were 4. Every team containing 5-7 students. The referee had threw the slightly bumpy, orange ball in the air when it was at its highest point; 10 feet in the air I knew that I could easily get it by jumping up and while mid air, thrust the air below me. It was another technic that I made up when I was tinkering with my power at the age of 4. And at that time I had named it, "Split-second Levitation,". Knowing that this just a friendly game of ball and if I jumped up 5 feet into the air it would seen extremly suspicious. So I waited awhile for the ball to fall down to 8 feet in the air, then I went for the kill.
Using Split-second Levitation and also the air around to ball to thrust it slightly my way. I managed to grab the ball and dribble it into one of the hoops right away.
"Hey," Asuna whispered to me slightly, "You dribbling the ball and then throwing in the hoop wasn't the plan, you know,"
"Sorry," I said in and not-so-sorry smile and tone, "I was having so much fun that I guess I just got carried away,"
"Well, I guess that's fine," Asuna said in a slightly understanding tone "Well just let me know if anything is bothering you, okay?"
The last sentence Asuna told me made me feel a lot better. Knowing that there was someone even the sightest bit concerned about me made me feel happy. After all I haven't felt I had actually had a reason to exsist since... that day... Kazuto... left... me...
Just hearing those words made me seem worthless. Even if I only said it in my mind. It was as if it rung many times like rain falling the sound of every drop splattering onto the solid ground. Snapping out of the ringing, I saw that one of my classmates was looking at me with the eyes fo envy. It was like he was green with envy because of me. Of maybe it was becausong my presence was simply bothering him.
*BEEP*
The buzzer had signaled the victory of my team. Everyone was cheering, smiling, and hugging each other - everyone but me that is. I was too caught up in the moment to do those things. So I went outside to clear the things in my mind. But just as I stepped out of the gym I had felt a presence - a very familiar presence - ignoring it, I continued walking but every step I took, I had heard other footsteps being muffled from the sound of mine. Soon just as I walked past the water fountains I began speed walking to see if the unknown footsteps were going to try to still follow me. Just as I had suspected, the footsteps still followed me, but now the footsteps began to be uneven and had a louder
*thump* *thump* *thump*
But the beating of my heart had muffled the sound a tiny bit, just a tiny bit. When the footsteps came near the fountains, they had stopped. Now you could hear only the faint sound of my beathing and see the small snowflakes start to fall. But a little splitter splatter had broken the silence. Feeling the frigid water splash on my back, my quick reactions had alarmed, but I hadn't made a very wise choice, because I had froze the water the moment it had touched me. Only a drop of water had managed to touch me before it became a piece of abstract ice art.
"Monster..." said a shakey and scared voice.
Looking behind me, to the fountains and there was the owner of the voice. There was Klein, the same guy who was looking at me weirdly at the basketball game.
Kirito POV
"Monster..."
The shakey voice of Klein's had surprised me. In hearing him say such words, I rushed outside to see what was so scary to scare Klein. Came running outside from the gym along with everyone else, I saw Klein and the new transfer student, Koku, there. Was this what made Klein so scared? I had thought Its just an ordinary student. But thats when my eyes had wondered to the slightly shaddered piece of ice in the motion of being splashed as if the ice was still water. But... How...? I thought. Just then, I also caught a glance at Koku herself, there she was head looking down at her feet. Her cherry blossom colored hair with strikes of crimson were blocking her cold eyes. From the direction of the sun coming and the reflective white snow, it had cast a shadow on her, but if you had took a close enough, you could see a horrified look on her face her moist eyes threatening tears to spill. It was like seeing a black hole of sadness and it was sucking me in.
Slowing without even realizing I was getting closer and closer... heartbeat getting faster and faster
thump thump thump
It had went like the rhythm of love song. And before I even realized it, I was there hugging Koku like we were already dating. To my surprise, instead of staying in the position she was, she pushed me away as if I had hurt her before we had met, in another life time... before now...
While wiping away her tears, she pushed me away and gave me a death glare that seemed to go right through me, seeing her eyes, it gave me the signal the back off right away...
[Time Lapse]
Koku POV
*Thump*
It had been a long day and my body was aching all over from the frigid water from earlier. Now I was resting on my new bed with nerf gear I had just finished building just after I plopped down on my bed. Bored, I looked over at the bed next to me that belonged to my roommate. He wasn't here yet because I got to get dimissed out of school early because of the water incident... and here I am depressed and sulking. Then the idea of trying out the new game Sword Art Online had crossed my mind. It was the very first VMMORPG built by Akihiko Kayaba. Even though I hadn't bought the nerf gear I had it because I made it, the nerf gear it opperated perfectly because I had already tested it out right before , but I couldn't test it out completely because I didn't have or insert the game disc in the place for it. Interested, I looked over at the night stand next to mine and surprising I had found the disc for SAO. Stealthily (not really) I took the disc from its case and inserted it into its place. But thinking that the owner of it wouldn't be happy knowing that his precious disc went missing, I took out a sticking note and wrote:
Dear Roommate,
I have borrowed your SAO game disc, please do not get upset over this small matter because of course I will return it after a few test outs. Hope you enjoy the game too. X3
- Your roommate, Koku
Satisfied with the result of my note I took the disc and inserted it into the nerf gear.
And for the first time in many years I let a small smirk slip up in lips as I said
"Link Start"
Author's note: Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did writing it! I am only 11 so dont judge! comments are always welcome soooooooo... yeah...
BYE!
