A/N: So, yeah, this will be the craziest story I've ever written, about Hikaru and Madoka's trip to Europe. I'm planning to write their adventures in every single country of Europe, each country will have a chapter dedicated to it, except those little ones, aka San Marino, Andorra, Vatican, Cyprus and some others.

This time I won't take advice from anyone, I'll write just whatever comes into my mind, just I feel like. That's the fun of writing. Some of you may remember that story, 'She my person'. I'm planning on doing something as crazy as it was 'cause I miss the times when I was writing it.

Okay, pairings are, as always, Kyoya x Hikaru, Gingka x Madoka [ehh, who knows, I may write Tsubasa x Madoka, too... Unknown yet], maybe Kenta x Yu friendship. Possibly some others, in small amounts.

So, yeah... Let's get started.


Chapter 1: Iceland and Insecurity

Hikaru and Madoka were idly walking along the road, the last girl making researches on her tablet, while the other was looking around, analyzing the place. The road was completely immaculate, and some people were cleaning it with washing powder and warm water from geysers, which are very common in Iceland. They wash roads like every day, and cars sporadically pass by without sprinkling everyone with it.

"So, have you found anything?" Hikaru curiously asked her brunette friend, who looked at her slightly apathetically.

"Yeah. We're in Selfoss town," she answered, nodding her head rhythmically, "There are about 60 kilometers from here to Reykjavik. We can get a bus to take us there."

Hikaru nodded slowly, pondering about what Madoka said. "That's good," she replied, "Let's get started then."


The sleepy city of Reykjavik, together with its fairly tall buildings and houses, was beautifully lying before some much taller immaculate mountains surrounded by water, the azure sky carefully overseeing everything; just some sneaky crows and white clouds dared to sporadically disturb the peace.

After arriving to Reykjavik, the two girls began to explore around by feet, their backpacks hanging on their shoulders. The temperature was lower, which is a specific thing for Iceland and for Scandinavia, so the girls adapted and dressed up with trousers and long-sleeved shirts.

Madoka, who was still searching for information on her tablet, told Hikaru, "Did you know that Icelanders don't pay power bills?"

The amethyst-eyed girl raised an eyebrow curiously, "What do you mean? Their electricity comes free?"

Madoka nodded her head, assuring Hikaru that what she was saying was right, "Yep. That's because it helps the economy grow," she explained with that smart girl air of her, "Also, Iceland's population isn't even of a half million, but about 300,000 residents and many of them live in fishing villages."

"Really?" Hikaru asked on a surprised voice as looking around in the city, "But the city looks really modern, you know... It doesn't look like the capital of a country where most of the people are poor, you know..."

The colorful roofs of the houses were just bringing some gaiety in your heart at seeing them. Red, yellow, blue, almost every color.

"Anyway, we should feed ourselves and then go exploring," Hikaru suggested, and Madoka agreed as shutting down her tablet. The blue-haired girl looked around, searching for a place to buy food. And, soon, she found one, really close to them, "Hey, look! There's a cafeteria over there!" she exclaimed, pointing towards a relatively small building painted in yellow.

Both made their way to that place and entered. They let their backpacks somewhere and had some soup at a table.

"After we eat, where are we going?" Hikaru asked while taking a sip of her soup.

"Dunno... Maybe we can visit a museum or something, I guess?" the brunette suggested quietly, "Or, we can go sightseeing..."

"Oh, you must be tourists, right?" someone disturbed the girls' discussion. Both looked up to see that the owner of the voice was a child staring at them with some curious emerald green eyes.

"Um... Yeah... So?" Hikaru skeptically asked while letting her spoon rest on the edge of her white bowl. The boy, who was dressed fairly expensive, smiled cheerfully while raising his hand, saluting bubbly, "Hi. I'm Yu. Yu Tendo. I'm a tourist, too, and I was wondering if you don't want us to visit the surroundings together," he suggested happily, his huge grin occupying at last a quarter of his figure.

"Um... You're a tourist?" the amethyst-eyed female asked perplexedly, at which Yu nodded his head swiftly, giving them another fresh innocent smile. However, Yu's cuteness didn't impress Hikaru, "Um, I don't think we have time to—"

Anyway, she couldn't finish her sentence because of her brunette friend...

"Of course you may come with us to explore the surroundings, Yu!" Madoka answered, ignoring Hikaru's skepticism. Madoka was quite pleased to meet new people, while, Hikaru, on the other hand, wasn't really happy with this. But the point is... How comes that a foreign kid is alone, here, in a country like Iceland – cold, surrounded by icy waters? If he came to ask for help, it means he doesn't have anyone mature with him to guide him, or, at least, that's what Hikaru deduced, perfectly logically. Meanwhile, Madoka continued, "I'm Madoka, and she's Hikaru, my friend! Nice to meet you, Yu!"

Hikaru fought a smile to Yu, analyzing him. He was dressed somehow like a whatsoever rich child, and had orange hair, together with a pale skin and some emerald deep eyes.

"Nice to meet you, too, Madoka, Hippety-Hop!"

"Name's Hikaru," the blue-haired girl corrected coldly, but Yu pretended he didn't hear it. He sat down between the two girls, his smile refusing to disappear. Hikaru continued eating her soup, swallowing all her anger together with the hot liquid. Even so, she continued to supervise the situation from the dark.

"So, Yu, you've come to Iceland on your own?" Madoka by-the-wayed bubbly while eating her soup as well.

"Yeah, actually, I was planning on visiting the entire North Europe this year, so I've decided to start by coming to Iceland. What about you?"

"Oh, us? We're going to see the entire Europe, from North to South," the brunette answered, "By the way, you're alone here? I mean, don't you have your parents, or at least any friends?"

"Nah, I like travelling on my own," Yu said without losing his exuberance, "I live with my dad, and he allows me to do anything I like!"

Madoka seemed surprised and confused at the same time. Yu didn't seem older than 10...

"Um... I think we should visit The National Museum after we finish eating," Madoka changed the topic abruptly, "I heard they have interesting things about Vikings... Do you want soup, Yu?"

The child shook his head, "Nope, I already had lunch," he explained patiently, "I'm just waiting for you two to finish eating."


~At the museum~

"Whoa... Look at this... These things about Iceland are so detailed!" Madoka exclaimed on an astonished voice while reading every small text written next to the figurines, "It is basically Iceland's history over 12 centuries! Did you know that, at the beginning of the 18th century, Iceland had just 50,000 inhabitants?"

"Oh, really?" Hikaru fought to say, "I didn't know."

But Hikaru never really liked museums. They are too cold, too big and too hostile for her. It is always so quiet, and smells weird... Plus, many old people come here... If it wouldn't have been free, she wouldn't have paid those 20 dollars to come here. However, since they are just eighteen, entrance is free.

"Um... There was a gift shop at the ground floor... I'm coming in a moment," she announced quietly, and Madoka didn't even pay attention to her – she was too fascinated by the museum's beauty.

Hikaru made her way through the quiet halls of the museum, wanting to find that gift shop to buy herself a souvenir. After leaving the museum, she wants to go explore the city, maybe have a drink, but, more than this, get to know more about Yu.

However, she felt like someone was stalking her from the moment she left the group. She didn't dare to turn around, so she just took sneaky looks with the corner of her eye, over her shoulder. There was someone behind her, maybe too close by her, but she couldn't see the figure. So she began to walk to the right, to check if that person was going to follow her.

And she was right. That person followed her.

So she began to run through the halls, curious if that person really had a problem with her. She heard steps behind her, other than hers, and someone panting. Both of them were running with the speed of light, in nowhere. Hikaru didn't have a fixed destination, and the chaser was chasing her, so, basically, everything was random. Also, she did her best not to bump into any figurines of the museum.

"Who are you?" she asked viciously, still not looking behind. However, she got no answer. "Damn it! Who are you, I asked!" she repeated loudly, keeping running. She was a good runner, she had to admit. Nevertheless, she got no answer again.

The next moment, she felt a quick pinch running down her neck, but she ignored it because she had another thing to do at that moment. She kept running for minutes, her heart wobbling inside her chest.

That's when she had nowhere to run anymore. The way was over, so she had to stop in a corner of the room.

Surprisingly, when she realized what's going on, she was completely alone. Her vigilant eyes scanned around, but everything she could see were museum stuff. She touched the part of her neck where she felt that slight cut while running. It was a small slice, made with something that wasn't really sharp, however. She felt her neck, and realized that...

...her necklace was gone.

"Damn it!" she ejaculated between her ragged breaths, rubbing that slight cut on her neck.


~Later~

"So..." Hikaru began like nothing happened, walking alongside Madoka and Yu, "How was the visit at the museum?"

"Oh, it was amazing!" Madoka exclaimed, still excited after filling her head with so much knowledge, "I've seen so many things related to Iceland's history! It was really awesome, and Yu liked it, too! Isn't it so, Yu?"

"Yep! It was kinda boring, but they had ice-cream!"

Hikaru just sweat dropped awkwardly, "Whatever. Um, I was wondering, should we see the graveyard of Reykjavik? I heard it has beautiful flowers and the grass is so green..."

"Yeah, Hippety-Hop is right!" Yu agreed immediately, "We can go ghost hunting!"

"Um... I'm not sure..." Madoka tried to change their minds gently. She doesn't really like graveyards since they are so creepy...

"C'mon! I heard it is awesome!" the orange-haired boy insisted with euphoria.

"Uh... Okay, okay, we'll go!"

~At the graveyard~

The Icelandic graveyard gave you a strange feeling, a running chill through your spine. It was so quiet, but didn't seem peaceful. There were old spooky trees everywhere, supervising the graves; the crosses were silent, gloomy, but it felt like they left many things unspoken. It looked like they have lived many things, but never had the chance to tell their stories. Even the grass was whistling in the wind, like wanting, too, to paint its story using the colors of the gentle breeze.

Madoka bought some flowers which she placed on a random grave, and then those three began to look around. "Where are the ghosts?" Yu asked confusedly, exploring around with a faded enthusiasm.

However, Hikaru didn't pay attention to those stupidities. Maybe it was just her imagination, but the air felt heavy. Her eyes scanned around – all she could see were graves, crosses, flowers, and a sneaky white butterfly fluttering its wings with energy.

A second later, her meticulous vision noticed a small glimmer within the shapeless darkness losing itself deep into the trees. She immediately turned around, as she realized that it was like the shine of a metallic material meeting the light of the faint sun.

Hikaru narrowed her eyes viciously, scanning every small portion of the panorama.

"Anything happened, Hikaru?" Madoka asked confusedly at seeing that the violet-eyed girl had stopped walking.

"Uhm, no, nothing. Just my imagination," she lied, snapping herself to reality, then joined Madoka and Yu again.


After visiting the graveyard, those three went to 'The Pearl', or 'Perlan', which is a landmark building of Reykjavik, built in 1988, following Madoka's information. It is some kind of rotating restaurant with good foods, hid under a dome made of glass. It is about 25 meters high – Madoka informed them.

"Look at this!" the brunette exclaimed, showing those two the information she found on her tablet, "They say it has three shops at the fourth floor! And one is for souvenirs! We should go! I wanna buy something for dad!"

And Madoka put her tablet inside her bag and both she and Yu began to run to find the shop.

"Hey, wait for me!" Hikaru exclaimed and began to chase those, trying to catch with their speed.

They bought some fur sweaters for themselves, specific for Iceland since the climate is cold; Madoka took a red one, Hikaru bought herself a blue one while Yu chose a green one.

After that, they went to the viewing platform, which is located at The Pearl, too; they took some panoramic pictures of Reykjavik's divine landscape. And what a beautiful city it was, so sleepy, so calm, so cold...

Hikaru took advantage by the moment to stop thinking about Yu's mystery, or about who had stolen her necklace. After all, Yu is just a kid, right? What can he do to them? And robbers are everywhere, so, yeah, this doesn't really matter. It was just a necklace, nothing too expensive or too precious.

So, she enjoyed the rest of the day, 'cause the girls' plan is precise – they stay just a single day in the places they visit, sleep at night, and next morning leave the city and the respective country.

They browsed through other shops in Reykjavik, but didn't buy too many things since they didn't have much money saved for each country they visit. They have to find small, meaningful things to take from every place they see, not waste money on all they see.

They took pictures with themselves everywhere in Reykjavik, and, for their surprise, the day passed really quickly as they were visiting new places and seeing new people. They didn't even notice it...

At night, they hanged out a little in the city. The sky was cloudy, so the dim moonlight was creating a beautiful image on the sky... There was a silver light with golden edges because the moonlight isn't native from the moon – it comes from the sun, reflects on the surface of the moon then it reaches our eyes, which means that it is originally golden. That light had the texture of the grayish clouds, making it more angelic, but kinda scary.

For their surprise, there were many bars opened in Reykjavik; at every step you took, you could find a new bar with teens and young adults drinking and partying. Late-night restaurants, nightclubs, pubs, all were countless. They never imagined that the calm city they saw in the morning could turn into such a loud and glowing place at night.

They wished to party a little, have a drink and stuff... However, Yu was too young for that, and the girls were truly tired after such a day. They were going to wake up early, to catch the plane to Copenhagen, the next capital they were going to visit.

So, they found a cheap motel to sleep for the night, together with Yu, who, coincidence or not, was going to Denmark, too.

But, once again, Hikaru felt like someone was watching her. As trying to fall asleep, she kept staring into the deep darkness combined with the distant lights coming from the still awake Reykjavik city, like searching for the same glimmer she had seen at the graveyard earlier.


A/N: Oh, yeah! First chappie is done! The next one is Denmark, and they'll visit Copenhagen, its capital. I hope you liked it, really... I don't want to disappoint anyone with this, otherwise, I'll delete it 'cause I don't have time to focus on 2 stories at one time and also to homework and get good grades... So, yeah, I hope it was good.
