Author's notes:… Yup, I know. I know. Suddenly writing another fanfic while I'm still working at other…Sometimes I really hate idea when it came to my head and felt the need to write it down. Once again, I really hate you, idea. The reason I wrote down this fic…well, actually it all started when I read those 07- Ghost fanfic in Japanese. Mainly because they had many, many fic about Teito's being a girl and either paired with Frau or Ayanami. I must admitted they're good and very interesting although most of them are angst, made me wished that all of you can and able to read Japanese and also read them. Gender bender Teito fic are indeed few in Fanfic and since I don't really like yaoi, I guess it will be fine. The one I favorite was 'The Red Thread Which Binds Us' by March Rosenqueen but it seems it's in hiatus state or something like that. I hope the author will continue it in the future. And I hope after I wrote this fic, there will be more of fanfics about Fem! Teito.
So why there's an OC in this fic? The answer is simple…the cause is from one of the Japanese fanfic I've read. It tells about Teito is a girl and originally paired with Frau. But something terrible happened and…she lived under illusion that she was pregnant with Frau's child and lived freely with her Fyulong. In which bad news for us, she's actually kidnapped and held hostage by Barsburg inside the special greenhouse. There're Hyuuga and Konatsu outside the greenhouse, looked at the innocent Teito who was pregnant and what shocked me most…that was when Hyuuga said 'quick, born into this world, Aya-tan's child' at the nearly end of the fanfic. O_OIII
And…it hit me pretty hard. It hit me hard. I was quite shock. I felt that I couldn't let that happened because that was just so…wrong, I guess. I kept thinking, is there nothing can be done with this kind of situation? Moreover, half of Japanese fanfics I've read outside there had kidnapping and somehow, sexual themes whenever there're Fem!Teito and Ayanami inside it. This thing made me think that I must do something about this one. I felt the need for one more character, preferable female, to keep Fem!Teito from any wolves those may come for her and they can comforting each other like sisters. So finally, with foolishly, I added an OC inside. Stupid, I know but I can't resist.
Then why the OC was coming from our world and not from the 07- Ghost itself? Wish I can tell you more, there're more specific reasons for this one but since these are only notes, I had to stop until this part and let you read the fanfic first. If there're good responses and reviews, I will consider continuing this fic. But let's just see it in the future, shall we? At the end of the notes, happy reading, and hope you'll like this fanfic.
Disclaimer: Other than my two OC? Nothing. 07- Ghost belonged to Yuki Amemiya and Yukino Ichihara.
Warning: I warning you… This fic are consist of gender bender, swearings, possibilities of battle violence, possibility of AU, and bad grammars.
Pairings: I'll keep that as a secret at first, okay? (...Actually, I haven't decide it, yet)
Summary: Kirana is a girl who loves cycling and manga. But after an odd occurrence, she's trapped at 07- Ghost universe and she has to help Teito away from Ayanami's grasp with the help from the Seven Ghost. And what's this, Teito's actually a ****...?! How much this can getting worse to her!?

PROLOGUE: TAKDIR YANG TAK DIKETAHUI/: UNKNOWN FATE
It started from your normal Saturday.
It was a lazy yet relaxing afternoon Saturday.
It was a perfect time to spent time together with those we're dear and loved. No one wanted to miss the opportunity. It was not everyday you can have your time with your family after all. Same thing was occurred at one house complex. Everyone's doing their own activities. At the nearby park, children were playing some games such as hide and seek and football, others did play swing. Their parents and caretakers talked at the side of the park, they were gossiping the latest topic about pop artists and many more. An old man that wore only shirt and sarong, sat at the wood chair at the other side park and he was reading a newspaper, sometimes he exhale a smoke form his cigarette. But we're not focusing at them. We're about to focusing at the girl who is cycling in hurry and passed through the park with a big plastic bag in the basket of her bicycle.
Her dark chocolate colored hair was pulled into a loose braid which reached her mid section, her pony played by the wind, and her pale blue eyes kept focused at the road in front of her. She was wearing crème long hooded coat with sleeves below elbow, white polo t-shirt, light brown pants, and sky blue tennis shoes. She had a medium, sky blue backpack on her back. At her neck, dangled a thin necklace made from silver and its pendant was made from transparent light blue crystal and had silver made vines rimmed the upper part of the crystal. Her legs kept pedaled the blue bicycle in fast phase and ran toward one particular grey colored house with two floors. The girl entered the front door and greeted the security officer with friendly and warm manner, in which the security officer returned back with equal friendly.
She quickly steeped from her bicycle and brought it along with her to enter the house and a minute later, she finally arrived at a room. A boy had been in there and waiting for her. The boy was obviously taller than the girl, he had short red flaming hair and tea brown eyes. He wore a white t-shirt with wolf insignia and blue jeans, and currently sat at the chair when the girl opened his room's door. As soon as he saw the girl came, he stood up from his study seat and helped the girl put down the plastic bag.
"Finally you're back!" The red haired boy exclaimed exasperatedly. "What took you so long at the convenient store and why did you buy this much?" The boy continued as he lifted a bag of potato chips and blinked confusedly.
"Various reasons." She replied curtly, putting a few of juice boxes at the front of her. "But mainly there're so many people in there and few of foods you've mentioned had run out so I have to buy others."
"What!? There is no blueberry bread or cheese cake or even apple bread!?" The boy gaped incredulously. "You must be kidding me, Kira!"
"None of them." The girl, now identified as Kira, huffed and shook her head tiredly. Seriously, his obsession toward bread, especially apple bread was a little too much for her.
"Noooo…! This is so sucks, you know I can't spend my day without apple bread!"
"Yes, I know." Kira waved her hand nonchalantly. "So where're Uncle Bob and Auntie Dede'? I don't see them since yesterday."
"They are staying at Grandfather's home in Bandung." Bayu replied. "They're planning to go back tonight though."
"And your sister?"
"Not home yet. She had cheerleader club activity today and will home at least at 6 o'clock."
"So that's why your home is quiet." Kira hummed thoughtfully.
"Yep."
"By the way are we going to watch anime or what?"
"Oh! Right, almost forgot that." The red haired young man snapped from his wailed and snatched few VCD from his bed. "Here! I know it's seemed late but I finally have them and finally we can watch them! They are the twenty episodes of Zetsuen no Tempest, complete episodes of 'K', and the most special from today; first six episodes of 07- Ghost I've been download so far."
Kira blinked at him as if he suddenly growing extra heads.
"…Bayu, you're even gone as far as download them from the internet?"
"Of course! I even know you're like 07- Ghost as much as cycling!" Bayu beamed. Kira sighed at her friend's overflowing enthusiasm.
"Except for few parts, yes, I do like it." Kira marked drily.
Bayu immediately lost his enthusiasm and tilted his head a bit hesitantly. "…You still mad at Asti because the yesterday anime she's showed to you is… 'piiip'?"
What he mean by 'piiip' was any yaoi anime which Asti, another of their friend adored very much. The pony tailed girl was about to watch anime together with Agung, another friend of them, Bayu and Kira at last night. She was the one who brought the anime she had selected earlier from her house. Apparently she took the wrong anime genre with her. Asti also forgotten the brunette was never watch any yaoi anime and therefore, she had no idea that they were going to watch it, not to mention the pony tailed girl didn't go checked the anime at first. That, and since she stored them inside VCD plain with names after she downloaded them from internet, of course she would took the wrong VCD.
Then it happened.
It didn't go well as Kira pretty much traumatized since the yaoi were…quite explicit and Bayu came to the rescue by turn off the television and forbade Asti to ever, ever, bring yaoi anime into his household and he had to say that he also not taken this well. Agung's reaction didn't any better than Kira as he promised himself he would stay away from anything about yaoi, forever.
Kira's mood darkened and she went sulked at the corner. "Please…" She began to sulking as mushrooms started to grow around her. "Please don't remind me, ever again…"
"Okay, I'll not talk anymore. It did also bring me nightmare at last night." Bayu hurriedly waved both of his hands dismissively. Seriously, he didn't want to have such nightmare again in the future, just once is enough.
Kira lost her previous gloomy aura. "What nightmare?"
"You don't want to know." Bayu replied drily. "So, ready to watch them?"
"Yup." Kira sat down at the soft carpet. "We've nothing to do for today, so why not?"
"From where should we start it?"
Kira's mused thoughtfully.
"Just start it from 'K' and then we will watch 07- Ghost later." She finally decided.
"Hey, we have the same thought. I always curious about 'K', they said the story is very awesome and has a twisted plot and cool." Bayu said cheerfully.
"So I heard it too." Kira nodded, smiling because of Bayu's cheerfulness effect. "Let's start it already. Bay, wanna tamarin juice?"
"Sure. What else do you buy?" Bayu sat beside the braided girl, accepted the box juice and stick a straw into it.
"Well, there are banana pocky and…"
Soon, they fell into discussion and watching the episodes of 'K' a while later. Time passed quietly, afternoon changed to evening. Both friends were having their fun together as they ate the foods which Kira had been bought from the convenient store and they laugh whenever the funny scene was played.
Little did they know…
It was the last time for them to having fun as best friends before they will part in the future…
…
…
Soon.
"Gosh," Kira commented frowningly after the last episode of 'K' finished. "That was awesome yet sad at the same time."
"It is." Bayu was agreed with her as he changed the VCD. "I hope they really make the second season for 'K'. I really want to watch Yashiro as thepale blue King again."
"Ah yes, that. The plot is quite surprising me, you know."
"Had to agree with you for that one." Bayu stopped for a moment when he spotted the sky was darkened from his window. "Eh? Since when the sky's getting darker at outside?"
"Must be the rain again." Kira assumed lightly when she looked at the same direction. "I mean we're in the middle of rainy season, it has been rainy a lot since then."
"I hate rains." Bayu grumbled in annoyance. "They do a lots of lightning struck. And Dad's laptop is still at the service because of the lightning from last week."
Kira smiled wryly. "We can't face mother of nature. Guess we have to watch at least one episode before turn off the television."
"Right." Bayu was grinning playfully at her and lifted a VCD. "And at last…07- Ghost anime!"
"Finally." Kira fisted her hand and pumped it to above beamingly. "Let's mosey!"
"Alright, alright." Bayu chuckled amusedly and put the VCD into the device. "Here we go."
The anime started to play and they watched the opening of the 07- Ghost, and the brunette listened with interest. Kira had been fascinated the 07- Ghost manga ever since she read them from the internet. At first Kira loved cycling more than manga but when she introduced to 07- Ghost manga, her opinion changed a bit. She couldn't explain her interest with words but something from the story, perhaps the plot, perhaps the characters, or perhaps how the mangaka draw the characters' emotions perfectly, had hooked her and had made her kept reading the manga. You see, the braided girl knew the manga quite late. So when Kira acknowledged there was an anime adapted from the said manga, she asked Bayu to show them for her.
Her favorite characters were Teito and Mikage. She had a reason for this. Teito, while he's seemed quiet, the boy was actually very kind and care therefore he wouldn't hesitate to help the others. Her younger sister, Niken, was having the same similarity and she thought it was cute. The braided girl liked Mikage because his cheerful and carefree attitude reminded her of her own older brother, Adit, minus his love for porn magazine. Then the opening song was starting. She immediately focused into the song. It was an awesome song and Kira quite like how the instruments were played very well, it made the music seemed majestic and a bit mysterious. Everything was going well and there was nothing strange with the animation...
Until it reached the part where there was supposed to had a person, actually a man, floated with skeleton wings, Kor.
The scene seemed pretty much fascinating.
The Kor, the man's position, the dark hall that became the background with only little light shone. They were making a gothic atmosphere. Since this was an anime, the braided brunette shouldn't be scared…
But what made Kira's breath suddenly hitched was the moment the man lifted his head, very, very slightly movement and cast a glance which the man was throwing toward them.
The glance was cold and emotionless and his eyes had that gleam of red, just like those who had been possessed by Kor. That glance was piercing to the bone and it made the brunette very uncomfortable somehow. Before she could process the oddness, the scene changed and it left Kira with blank face.
...Was the scene supposed to be like that?
"…Hey, Bayu?" Kira called her friend hesitantly. The brown eyed young man glanced at his companion.
"Hm?" Bayu hummed questioningly. He didn't tore his eyes from the screen or notice her uneasiness yet.
"Is this just my imagination or…"
Kira couldn't finish her sentence when a blinding light struck near the room followed by horrible crackle boom.
CTAAAAR!
BLAAAAAAARR!
BOOOOM!
"WAAAKS…!" Kira jumped from where she had sat and stay away from the window. She also grabbed her bag with her as a shield.
"WHAT THE H***―!?" Bayu also jumped. "A lightning…?!"
"The television! Unplug the cable, hurry!" Kira hurriedly told the red haired boy.
"I know, d*mmit!" Bayu run toward the television and he was trying to unplug the cable. His hand got electrocuted in the middle of his attempt and he grunted in pain. "Gah!" Bayu got the cable off and threw it into the floor.
"Are you fine in there…!?" Kira poked her head slightly. She stepped closer to the young man and check his condition.
"Electrocuted but still safe and sound, there's no need to worry." Bayu nursed gently his electrocuted hand. "That was close."
"How's the television? Does it get hit and need to be repair just like your Dad's laptop?" Kira looked in deadpanned at the already turned off television. The screen was dark and now void.
"I don't think so." Bayu shook his head. "But with the storm at outside there, we better left the television off and unplugged...that's if we don't want to get hit by lightning."
Kira ouch-ed. "Is this mean we need to unplug the others as well?"
"No other choice, if we didn't want any of the electronic instruments in this house getting hit as long there's a storm filled with lightning. I don't need more of our electronic tools broken because of the lightning."
Kira was quite disappointed at this situation. "I guess we have to cancel the watching anime for now."
"It's not a bad thing completely. We still can read books and manga, cooking for little sister who will come home soon and…" Suddenly from the corner of his eyes, Bayu caught something at the television's screen. It was a dark shadow like. One second it was at there…
And then it was gone.
Bayu was completely frozen at his place.
And then that odd cold shivers run through his body. His widened, brown colored eyes now completely focused toward the screen. He blinked few times to make sure he wasn't seeing things but he confident that his eyesight still as good as ever. He wasn't a type of person who often saw illusions and did doze off.
And the cold shiver he had a while ago...
He fisted his hand unconsciously. What was that shadow exactly…!? And its shape…
As much as it sounded ridiculous but Bayu could've sworn it shape was just looking like…
"What the…!?" Bayu muttered incredulously.
His voice had got Kira's attention. Baffled, she was patting the young man's shoulder carefully. Bayu turned his head to have a pair of confused pale blue eyes stared at his brown eyes.
Kira narrowed her eyes in slight concern. "What is it?"
"…"
Bayu stayed still. He dared to take a look at the screen. The shadow was no longer in there.
"Bayu?"
"I think I saw something at the screen…" Bayu eyed the screen warily. "But…"
At that moment, Kira finally noticed that his face seemed so pale, her uneasiness grew. "Bayu…? Why you're looking pale? Is something wrong?"
Bayu glanced from the screen toward the brunette behind him. "Please don't be spook, okay?" Bayu told her. "It's sounded ridiculous but… I saw a weird shadow at the screen before it's gone. And the shadow just now…it looks like the image of skeleton with black cloak."
…
…
"Bayu," Kira frowned deeply, she shifted her bag in uncomfortable manner. "Please don't go spooking at me, you know that I don't like horror…"
"I'm swear I just saw something in there."
"You're seeing things." Kira tried to logical. There was no such thing as ghost! Djin or Ifrit or genie, perhaps, but ghost? Hello, they were Muslims, they don't believe at ghosts!
"Kira, you know that I'm believed at what I saw." The short haired young man replied in hard tone.
She narrowed her eyes incredulously. "This is coming from a guy who is become the best cadet for 2 years at school?"
"Kira, I'm serious!" Bayu shouted frustratingly. Why his friend was so stubborn and why she couldn't see that he was serious!?
"As much as I want to believe you, there's no way that what you saw is…"
And that was when Kira saw it.
At the time she looked at behind Bayu, right at the television's direction, the shadow was at there once more. This time the shadow stayed still inside the supposed turned off television. It lowering cloaked head then lifted a bit and Kira could see it was actually a skeleton under. Its cloak was dark purple, almost black color. Above the hood and around the neck bone there was an ornament like fabric adorned the shadow's figure. And the cloaked skeleton had such aura which could make you scared easily and back off from the creature. The void yet piercing eyes were staring right at both of them, like a hunter eyed its prey.
At that very second, Kira forced to accepting the fact that her friend indeed wasn't lying to her. It was because she saw the shadow right now, it stared back at her. Slowly and without making any sound, the skeleton raised one of its skeleton hand and at that moment she realized , she knew from her instinct the skeleton thing was about to do something not good.
And much, much to her horror…
…The cloaked, terrifying skeleton aimed its hand at Bayu.
"…Kira?" Bayu raised an eyebrow when he realized Kira wasn't listening to him anymore.
His concern grew when the girl wasn't responded back. Her pale blue eyes grew large alarmingly.
The fiery haired young man was a bit too late realized that something was very wrong with his friend freaked expression.
"Kira, hey- are you..."
"WATCH OUT…!"
The braided girl pushed the young man at the right time when the skeleton hand shot from inside the screen and instead grabbed Bayu, it grabbed Kira's head. Then within the seconds, the whole situation was getting far worse as a weird yet sickening voice echoed rather loudly through the whole room.
KRRRK…!
"AAAAAAKH―!" Kira shouted painfully as the skeleton hand gripped her head even harder and tighter until it felt like her head was about to exploding.
Ignored the pain that was caused by the skeleton hand's grip, her hands clawed the skeleton arm brutally, punched it with her bag, even she tried to twist the arm so it would break. However much to her devastation, somehow the bones were left not even a scratch at all for they were hard to broken by her. It only served her more panic and fear yet also incredulously. What are these bones made from exactly!? It was as if the bones were made from iron and other sturdy stuffs she couldn't name it! When she struggled to free herself from the demon's deadly grip, she heard Bayu's voice and he seemed very shock and anger.
"KIRA―!" He run to Kira's side and grabbed the skeleton hand away from his friend. "LET GO OF HER, BASTARD…!" Bayu growled angrily.
Kira's eyes widened fearfully at the moment she witnessed her friend's brave yet dangerous stunt. He couldn't go near her boldly like that! What if the cloaked skeleton shot another hand and it also grabbed him!? They would have no chance to get away for sure and she's must warning the red haired young man, now!
"BAYU, NO…! STAY AWAY!" Kira yelled panicky between her struggles. "DON'T COME HERE!"
At the critical time, the arm jerked hard Kira and her feet suddenly lost their balance. Kira was stunned and stop struggled.
That. Was. Very. Bad.
"Uh-oh…"
The next thing she knew, the event was happened so fast.
The brunette got dragged forcefully by the skeleton hand straight the television's screen. The drawn force had knocked off Bayu and threw him into the floor with a loud thud. She approached the screen with incredible speed, and the braided girl finally saw the skeleton' face form close. She would've sworn the skeleton looked like it was laughing and for the first time, she felt very terrified and get away from the shadow.
PRAAAANG!
A second later, the sounds of broken glasses echoed loudly in her ears, followed by sharp and stingy pain at her forehead. She yelled in pain, it was hurt. It was so hurt and burning and painful. The impact made Kira lost her conscious as she got pulled completely by the cloaked skeleton. The last thing she knew was Bayu's terrific voice called for her at afar.
"KIRA...―!"
…
…
And then nothing.
…
…
Hurt.
…
So hurt.
…
She couldn't move her numb body.
She wanted to but she was feeling very weak at the moment…
There was something wet flowing from her forehead. She wondered what it was.
…
Where was she?
She felt the faint warmth of the sunlight and she heard the rustle sound of leaves, blowing by the wind. Judged from the fresh air, it was obvious that she was at the outside and not at Bayu's house anymore.
But where?
If only she had strength to move and open her eyes…
…
"…―!"
…Huh?
"…―!?"
A voice?
"…―alright!?"
It was a boy voice. A young man from the voice's heaviness.
"Miss, are you alright!?"
And it sounded panic and concern and worry. Kira felt her body was being moved and lifted halfway. The guy's shook her body slightly in order to have her response. She opened her eyelids a bit to had a blurry figure was looming at her. She caught the young man's lemon blond hair and amber colored eyes but anything aside were blurry.
"Hey! Hanging there! Are you okay…!?"
"Mikage, I think she's unconscious from the impact she had on her head." Another voice and blurry figure came onto her sight. The second voice was lighter and a bit softer than the first voice. It filled with deep concern. "And it's bleed."
The first voice gasped in horror as if he just realized it.
"We must take her to see the doctor!" The first voice exclaimed.
Her upper body was being moved very carefully by the first figure and now supported by the second figure. Once they were sure that she stayed still, the first figure stood up abruptly.
"I'll go get some help from the doctor! Teito, go carry her to the infirmary and stay with her!"
"I think you should hurry." The second voice and figure reminded him urgently. "Her head's bleeding a lot."
"I will!"
And with that, Kira heard some rapid steps were stepping away from her hear range before they gone completely. A moment later, her ears caught the rustling voice of a fabric. As if to answer her bafflement, the cloth was pressed against the wetness of her head and tied around her head. The hands that tied the cloth was gentle and they tried to not made the brunette's injury hurt further. Felt the press of the cloth on her head and the caresses of the gentle hands, Kira then used left her strength to opening her eyes and blinked few times in order to saw her saver. She was quite frustrated since the blurriness still in her way.
That was when her eyesight became clearer temporary and she finally could see his face entirely and clearly. It was a boy who was looked around her age or even younger than her. Kira admitted he had the most beautiful bright green eyes she ever saw. His brown hair was short and looked soft, he had a slim and fragile feature. Kira frowned at this. Should she do not know better, she would mistake him for a girl, not a boy. The boy was passed easily to become a girl. Cross dress him with a dress and a long wig, and Voila, no one would ever think or expect that he was a guy. Then without warning, those green eyes suddenly looked down at her and meet with herpale blues.
"Don't worry. We will help you, I promise." The green eyed boy was tried his best to soothed the wounded girl. "You're safe with us, you have my words. You'll be fine…"
Kira sighed relievedly at the soothingly statement. Somehow his tone had managed to calm her down. She couldn't fight the fatigue anymore, it started to dominated her once more and she couldn't resist but to go to the slumber. As much as she didn't want to go to the sleep, Kira had to admit that she needed her rest now. Fighting a skeleton thing surely took most of her strength. She sighed in long and suffering manner. Well, at least someone tried to help her and would not harm her. She closed her eyes slowly and giving him a thank you and a weak smile. She was in no condition to smile but hey, the green eyed guy was totally deserved it for saving her life. And she wouldn't mind it. Too bad her conscious failed her.
"Terima kasih…"1.) Kira murmured to the boy before her conscious slipped and she completely fell into the comforting nothingness.
The braided girl missed the frown which was marred across the green eyed cadet's look.
A quarter of hour later…
While the doctor take care of the girl's wound, Teito and Mikage were waiting at the outside. They sat the waiting chairs. During the waiting, Mikage stole a glance once or twice at the infirmary's door when he was bored enough. Teito, on the other hand, was crossed both arms and had a thoughtful yet disturbed expression. They had just finished their exam today. From many cadets who followed the exam, only 19 cadets, included Teito and Mikage, those managed to complete the task. They were at their way back to their dormitory. And they took a different route today through the academy's garden. Just as they in the middle of garden however, when Mikage spotted someone at the bushes at nearby. Of course, being Mikage, the lemon blonde approached the bushes out of curious although the brunet cadet had told him to be careful.
Much to their shock, it was a girl with odd clothes and medium backpack, unconscious with injured forehead. The rest was history. And here they are, waiting for the doctor to come out and giving them news concerned the girl's injury. Teito was disturbed. At the slight glance, the braided girl was seemingly normal but looking at her clothes and her backpack, it was obvious she didn't come from around here. But it wasn't the reason why Teito disturbed just like now. When she woke up briefly even though it was just merely a whisper, she did say a word in which Teito doesn't recognize before went unconscious once more. Teito wondered where the girl came from and what was she doing inside the academy.
"Teito?" The brunet snapped back into reality and faced Mikage who cast him a concerned stare.
"Why you're dozing off like that? Something's wrong…?"
Teito shook once. "No, I'm just thinking."
"Thinking of what?"
"I'm wondering what that girl's doing at this place and what happened to her. I mean, she's had her head bleeding and we found her between the bushes with few scratches and leaves. "
"Ah…" Mikage downed with acknowledgement. "You're not the only one who's wondering. I'm also curious why she's in here and injured."
Teito was taking a brief glance toward the door of infirmary. The short haired brunet kept thinking about the strange braided girl.
"Is she going to be alright?" Teito asked with unusual soft the shorter cadet rarely showed except to Mikage.
Even though Teito doesn't want to admit, the wound at the girl's head had made the brunet cadet worry more or less. The blood was seemingly flow so much like a river. The green eyed cadet had did the best to stop the blood flow however Teito was still had the restless and it hadn't lessened a bit.
Mikage smiled warmly at his friend and patted the green eyed cadet in comforting manner.
"Let's hope that she will." He told the brunet with pure optimism.
Teito smiled ruefully before it was gone as fast as it comes.
"…Mikage?" Teito called his blond friend.
"Hm…?" Mikage tilted his head a bit.
"Do you have any idea what happened to that girl?" Teito's green eyes meet Mikage's amber eyes.
Mikage went frowned. There was a long moment of pause between them.
"I don't know. I hope she's just got into an accident and hurt at the process." He clenched his fist tightly. "Thinking the girl was injured by someone was making me sick."
Teito's head went lowered. "Same with me…"
The sound of the door opened had gained both of their attention. A middle aged man wore white coat of doctor, with medium height and white hair, was coming out before he closed back the door. Both cadets rose from their waiting seats as the doctor approached them, although it was Mikage who did asked the doctor.
"Doctor, how's she? Is her injury going to be fine?" He asked filled with anticipation.
"I must say the wide wound she had at her forehead made her suffered a lot of blood lost." The middle aged man explained loftily.
"However there's nothing to worry, it's not threatened her life. I've closed the wound and bandage her head. It will be healing within one or two weeks at most. It will leave no scar of course excluded the infection but just to make sure, go check at her bandage and change it regularly if it's possible."
Both Mikage and Teito sighed relief. They were very glad that the unknown girl was now alright. Mikage thanked the man with respect and gratitude.
"I see. Thank you very much, we owed you so much." The lemon blonde bowed.
The middle aged man waved his hand dismissively.
"No need to thank you, Young man. It's has become my duty to help people. I suggest you'll have to wait her since she's sleep right now. Once she's wake up, just told me and I'll come for a check."
"Thank you for the advice." Mikage bowed once more.
The man finally let a smile adorned his face and nodded slightly. "Now will you excuse me…"
By the time the man was gone from the sight, Teito and Mikage glanced toward each other and they were letting out a relief sighs and let smiles creped at their lips.
"Thank God, that's good news. She'll be alright. We can visit her once she's up."
"Glad to hear that…" Teito paused thoughtfully. "Mikage? Do you think we should buy her some foods while waiting for her to wake up?"
Mikage lit up at the suggestion. He was wearing that bright smile, too bright even. Teito suddenly had a feeling that the suggestion would make the brunet regret it later.
"Teito, that's a great idea! Maybe she's hungry if she rises later; if she can eat some soup it's even better. We must hurry; the canteen was going to close soon!" He ran and pulled Teito with him stroll the hall. Teito yelped in surprise.
"W-Wait! There's no need to pulling me around. It's still half an hour before the canteen closed, we still have time to get in there, slow down…!"
"Then hurry!" Mikage replied with naughty yet friendly grin at the brunet.
In which Teito was giving him a simple smile as they took off running.
It seems today wasn't an entirely a bad day for Teito…
…
…If only the emerald eyed brunet knew what was going to hit them at the future.
It was all black at first.
Kira confused and did nothing at few moments.
She wondered why it was still dark when she felt she couldn't sleep anymore.
But then she realized that she actually had awoken from her unconscious and not opened her eyes yet. Carefully, she opened her eyelids and found herself staring at the white, sterile tiles. Blinked her pale blue eyes, Kira was trying to sit up from her slumber. She took a chance to take a look around her. Apparently, she was in some kind of white room with alcohol smell and instruments tucked within cupboard you often see at the hospital. The slumber where the braided girl stayed was happened to be a bed with white color and she had same colored blanket tucked at her. Wrinkled her nose at the alcoholic smell dwelling around, Kira rotated her dark brown head slowly. Her eyes were taking every detail within the room. At the middle of her scan, she caught the sign of her long jacket hanged at the wall with her backpack and her shoes below. Kira glad her things were not harmed and relatively fine. She stared at the room once more.
"…This is…an infirmary?" Kira guessed disturbingly. When does she get there at the first hand?
The pale blue eyed girl then remembered the whole fiasco before she smashed through the screen and went blank. Oh right. The shadow of cloaked skeleton like, Kira rolled her eyes resentfully. Then the two boys who found her and trying to help her. Kira trails of thought stopped until here. Speaking about those boys, where were they then? She was just alone in there.
Suddenly, the door at the room's corner opened and startled her. Walked to inside, were two teenagers wore some kind of black army uniform –strangely they looked familiar to her-, white gloves and dark army boots. Kira quickly recognized them as the persons who helped her when she saw the blond hair of the taller teenager boy and that pair of green eyes of the shorter teenager boy. Now that she fully awoke, the brunette could take more details and appearance from them.
The taller boy was having a cross shaped scar at the right cheek, his lemon colored like hair was short and messy yet styled in fashion, tan skin, and amber colored eyes. His face oval shaped and giving him a mature look and yet he had a large smile on his lips –why he does look familiar?-.
The shorter one was just as like she remembered when she still aware and had yet went to slumber. He had bright green, almost emerald colored eyes, short yet seemingly soft brown hair, round face which made the brunet appeared younger than it supposed to be, and lighter tan colored skin. Despise the youthful appearance the brown haired teenager had, the teenager had this quiet expression and perhaps not a talkative person –This one even more familiar to her. Kira began to worry if she suffered some kind of lost memory-. The tall blonde was holding a tray with a bowl and its covers, a faint smell of soup could smell from inside it and Kira had to admit that she was started to feeling hungry at the moment.
"Oh, good! I see you've awake!" The teenager with lemon hair stated cheerfully.
Kira watched them carefully and warily as the teenager made his way to her bed. He set up the tray above the table slowly. The short brunet - well the guy wasn't that short, although he indeed shorter than her by at much 3 cm, however he had a slim body which making him appeared taller- and he rather stayed near his buddy. The brunet was seemingly choose to stand up rather than sat. The blond haired young man kept talking as he sat at the chair beside the bed.
"The doctor's said your injury's not deep and endangered your life, it will heal fine and left no scar. You just have to check and change the bandage regularly." The blonde explained nonchalantly. "By the way, you must be hungry right now. We've brought a soup for you, try it!"
The braided girl was taken a back when the blonde handed her the tray. She accepted it hastily and shifted her position so the tray will not fall from her lap. She opened the covers hesitantly and almost immediately, her nostril caught the delicious smell of fish soup. Now she was really hungry, she only ate those breads and juice at Bayu's home and it wasn't filled her stomach well.
"Uhm…Thank you?" She had no idea what to do except thanked him.
The blonde smiled brightly. "You're welcome! Eat it as much as you want!"
Kira eyed the soup before she took the spoon and shoved the small amounts of the soup into her mouth. It was tasty and warm and she liked it. Her lips curved into a small delightful smile.
"Delicious…" She said before she took a few mouthfuls spoon. The tall blonde brightened while the brunet had his cool façade melted a bit.
"I've thought that you'll like it." The blonde commented.
Kira blinked and took a few spoonfuls soup before put the spoon back. She didn't forget to close the cover back and put it to the table beside the bed. She lifted her dark brown head at the sitting blonde before her.
"I'm sorry for asking this but you're…" Kira began unsurely.
Beats her but she had just noticed how these guys were feeling extremely familiar to her somehow and she believed in her memory that she never meets them before. Although she couldn't help but to thinking if she indeed had memory lost in a way and it worried her more or less…
"Right! We're forgotten to introduce our self, how rude of us." The blond lemon haired young man pointed at himself with his thumb. "My name is Mikage Celestine, this is my best friend, Teito Klein."
In which of Kira went blank and immediately had those many questions marks above her head. Aren't those names were the name of characters from…
'…Are they cosplaying or something?'
Teito only nodded slightly in politeness. "Hello, it's nice to meet you. Is your injury fine?"
Kira put her hand onto her bandage and 'ah'-ed at the process. She almost forgot the injury she had in there, the girl was too preoccupied with all of these odd things.
"I think it is. Are you two the ones who helped me?" Kira confirmed.
"Yes. We found you at the outside of the building. You made us quite scared with those bloods coming from your head injury. You have one big cut at your forehead." The now identified blonde teenager, Mikage explained slowly.
Her face went blank. "Really?"
'Must be the impact that skeleton arm gave when it dragged me through the screen. I must be hit the glasses hard…' Kira thought drily.
Mikage nodded. "Yeah, luckily it's not as deep as we've thought and doctor said it will be healed in one or two weeks at most. And just like I've mentioned before, you have to check your injury and change your bandage regularly."
"I never knew my injury would be that bad." Kira apologized to them with guilty look. "I'm so sorry for troubling both of you."
"It's alright, don't mind it. We're very glad we can help you." Mikage stated cheerfully. "By the way, what's your name?"
"Kirana Kartasasmita." She gave a quick reply.
Mikage raised an eyebrow in questioningly manner. Teito did a blink.
"That's a weird name you have in there." The lemon haired young man exclaimed straightly.
Kira lips turned down and she scoffed offensively. "At least my name is not as weird as Mikage Celestine."
'Besides, no one named their kid as same as fictional character and I doubt cosplayers would use the character's name they cosplaying, except at the stage. Not going to believe that's your true name…' She added more absentmindedly in her mind.
"Hey!" Mikage whined.
"It's not an odd name; rather it's a unique name to me." Teito opinioned as he finally took a sat at another chair beside Mikage, the short haired brunette slightly smiled when Kira had her wide eyes on him. "It's indeed unusual name but at the same time it sounded beautiful and simple. It's suited you well."
"Thank you…" Kira couldn't help but scratched her cheek awkwardly. "You're flattering me, Mr. Klein."
"You're welcome." Teito replied, the small smile stayed still. "And you can just call me Teito, we're at the same age. There's no need to call me Mister."
"…Okay." Kira then remembered that she had a question for them. She turned her head hesitantly at the lemon blonde. "Uhm, Mr. Celestine…"
"Just Mikage is fine! You make me feeling just like an old man, you know." Mikage laughed friendly.
"Uh…okay." Kira sweat dropped. "Mikage, can I ask you something?"
"Sure! Go ahead."
"Where am I actually?" Kira quickly asked.
Mikage blinked few times but he did answer her question and worry. Only, his answer was what she was not going to be expected.
"Right now you're in The First District, you're inside the Barsburg Military Academy."
…
…
…Wait, she was in where?!
"…Excuse me?" Kira asked with strained voice.
This must be a joke, right?
She only did know one Barsburg but that place…
She really hoped the lemon blonde before her just lied to her and make fun of her but no, his expression was on the contrary of she had expected.
Mikage stared at her oddly, wondering why the girl's attitude went rigid. "You're in Barsburg Military Aca…."
"No, I mean, I'm in what country?" Her voice went higher and latched with demanding panic.
"You're in Barsburg Empire." This time it was Teito who gave an answer with frowned look.
Kira became speechless at the answer they were given. At the moment she forgot to take a breath since she too preoccupied with this revelation. Her gear then clicked together in one place and with giant pieces. Why she felt very familiar at both of them although she never meet them before, why the uniform seemed familiar too, why they used the odd names from…
The room suddenly went deadly quiet.
...
...
Both Teito and Mikage noticed the girl's pale blue eyes went widely. They also noticed her face slowly became paler than before and her hands gripped the blanket too tightly and hard. That didn't seem like a good sign for them, if anything it must be a bad sign. Something was wrong with the girl and they had to find out the cause before something unwanted might happen soon. Alarmed and hurriedly, Teito was walking fast to the stunned brunette's side and squeezed her shoulders gently.
"Kira?" Teito eyed the girl with deep concern. "What's wrong, why you're looking so pale?"
Kira didn't answer Teito's question, served only caused more worry and concern for both the academy cadets. A second later, she snapped from her daze and wore a shock expression, if it couldn't be called as devastate. Then, a loud shout was echoed from the infirmary and made both cadets almost jumped at their feet.
"…WHAAAAAAT?!"
This can't be happening, all right?
The brunette only know one place named Barsburg and it's supposed to be a fictional place, heck, it wasn't supposed to be exist at all. It was placed within a manga she'd been read for a while and an anime she was supposed to be in the middle of watching it with Bayu! D*mmit, this wasn't a freakin' fanfiction! And it's supposed to be impossible! But then the two guys before him; Teito and Mikage were actually supposed to be fictional characters and yet here they are, standing and looked at her with those worry looks on their eyes. She even could feel Teito's warm hands stayed at her shoulders and she was staring right into his bright green eyes.
How could she was stuck inside the 07- Ghost's story from all places or even anime and manga…!?
She didn't know why she from all people had been brought here into this place. (Well, perhaps it wasn't her who the skeleton thing after but still…!)
She didn't know how this supposed to be fiction abruptly became a reality and she got strained inside it.
She even didn't know how she will go back to her home!
Kira's mind was totally at chaos but there was one thing she'd make clear.
'Kalau gue bisa nemuin itu makhluk yang ngebawa gue ke sini…'2.) Kira swore mentally.
She was shaken from the hot and bubbling furriness which threatened to explode any given time. It wasn't easy to her to restrain her anger, not when there were witnesses around her.
'Nggak peduli itu Dewa Kematian, sumpah mati, bakal gue bunuh dia…―!'3.)
And the tale was started from here…
…
…
My name is Kirana Kartasasmita.
17 years old, I'm a student at 60 Senior High School.
Nick name is Kira, Kira-Kira, and skinny brat (again, don't ask me how I got these latter two nicknames). Hobbies are cycling and reading manga.
At one Saturday, my smart friend, my classmate, and the boy from the neighborhood, Bayu was showed me an anime called 07- Ghost.
A storm came and struck the television and a freaking skeleton arm was trying to take Bayu.
I pushed him out of the way and I'm got pulled to inside the television instead of him.
And now…
I'm stuck in this supposed to be a manga and anime, yet here I am in this world. Alone, alienated, and without a way to return.
I was saved by the two main characters; Teito and Mikage.
But it was just a beginning from my temporary staying in here; new problems started to arise, a lot of greedy people were starting to had their eyes on me, and a great, deadly danger was lurking from the darkness.
This is only the beginning from my story about me and especially about them…
And I will never forget it, forever…
The next episode…
"You have weird fashion of clothes. Where are you coming from?" Mikage asked straightly.
"…Err…" Kira shifted uneasily under the stare from the doctor, the blonde, and the brunet.
Lied!
"Uh, I'm so sorry…I kind of forgot?" She answered lamely, gave them an innocent yet nervous smile.
…
…
"…Kira," Teito began hesitantly. The cadet's emerald eyes were looking at her disbelievingly.
"Could it be…you're lost your memory?"
Both of them stared widely at each other. None of them was moving from their place.
"…Ah." Teito was frozen like an ice sculpture.
The brunet didn't know what to do except stay still with towel about to wrap the brunet's body. While it was true that Teito had anticipated everything which may reveal the brunet's secret, Teito clearly wasn't anticipated about this situation. The emerald green eyed cadet was about to dry with the towel when she came inside, bringing some bandages –must be from Mikage-, and…
Kira blinked slowly at the brunet before her, almost dropped the bandages she held in her hand. She wanted to make sure she didn't have hallucination. Unfortunately she wasn't having one and very much awake. She had her eyes on the brunet's completely. Truthfully, she was in totally shock. Kira was speechless to say at least. Who couldn't when she had thought that Teito was a boy when in reality, Teito actually was…
"You're a girl…?" Kira looked as if she wants to faint.
She was so screwed.
A pair of hand suddenly pulled Teito away from the opened slightly door back into shadow. Before Teito could ever shout, one hand was clamping over the brunet's mouth while the other at waist very tightly.
"...!?" Teito's emerald eyes widened in panic and began to struggling from the hands clamped over mouth and waist.
"Sst." A feminine voice murmured near Teito's ears when the brunet was about to using offensive Zaiphon. "Be quiet or we'll be discovered."
Recognized the voice, Teito ceased the struggles toward the captor and stayed still, even as the person behind her pulled her further. At the time they at the safe distance, the hands at her mouth and waist were loosening and pulled away. The brown haired cadet was taking a peek at whomever behind her. Imagine Teito's surprise when the brunet founded the braided brunette who she helped together with Mikage, stood warily and with alertness.
"Kira?" Teito whispered incredulously. "What are you doing in here, moreover at this early morning? Aren't you supposed to…?"
Kira inhale carefully and whispered back. "I'm the one who should ask why you're here and eaves dropping them…"
So…first impression, please?
And in case you're curious;
The words in English from Indonesian:
1. Thank you.
2. If I can find that thing which brought me into this place…
3. No matter if it was a Death God, I swear I'm going to kill it…!
