"I don't think we're going to get a pet dog, Seto." My white-haired fiancée says to me. We're standing outside a pet store, just out on the street.

I look at the puppies, then feel my eyes activate. They beg for a new owner.

"Are you sure?" I ask Mary. Her white hair and pink eyes mark her as a medusa, which makes the people around us give us a wide berth.

"Well, you have saved up a lot, and if we got a puppy, then we would have to save up longer to... you know..." Her voice gets all soft and kind. I hold her closer.

"Yeah, maybe another time, right?" We hold hands and walk down the streets, going to the place we both know well.


"Stop! Stop!" My screams echo off into the distance as one of the bullies- the true monsters - holds Tono's head underwater. I scream as another bully holds me by the chest, watching as my friend's body struggles to get free.

"Tch! Hold him still, we can't have him interfering, Shikoku!" The one drowning Tono yells to the one behind me. My outstretched arm is twisted into a painful angle by the third boy-who-could-not-be-a-boy.

"Nope, ya can't do that!" He grins as he snaps my arm back and I scream even louder. This bend of the river is too far away from someone who could help. Not like they'd help anyways. Shikoku gets nervous. I decide that if he wasn't being forced into doing this that he could be a friend.

"Maybe we shouldn't be doing this..." His complaint is drowned out by the first boy-who-could-not-be-a-boy's scream of triumph. He kicks the wet body of Tono as it floats down the stream. It begins to rain.

"Okay, let's get this dog in the water too!" The third one sound enthusiastic to hurt me, and for his sick pleasure he kicks me and take my breath.

"No, no, n-" My cries are drowned out by the invading wave of cold and misery. I can feel my hands go numb as the rest of my body thrashes like a fish above the surface.

"Ah, he's got spirit." The voice is barely heard over the sound of rushing water and the black fuzziness that wasn't there a moment ago.

My lungs feel like they're about to explode, and my unheard screams die along with my consciousness.


"Hey, Mary..." My statement rings out. It's night, and we can just see a bridge. One I know too well. "I want to know something."

"Oh? What is it, Seto-kun?" Her soft voice reassures me a little.

"Well, since we're dating, and this is just for the future, well..." I get a bit flustered as she stares at me expectantly, secretly bringing out those puppy-eyes that everyone but Momo couldn't withstand. "Ehm, does your house have... Internet connection?"

Mary just replies with "What?!" and we end up talking as we arrive at the bridge and the moonlight shines down.


"Now, everyone, be nice to Ayano. She's your new big sister, okay?" The three of us stay silent as Ayaka-chan pats us on the back encouragingly before walking off. Ayano-chan looks puzzlingly at us. Probably because of our eyes. I rub the small bruise that's forming at my cheek.

Later, Kano, Kido and I are sitting around. I walk off and they don't bother coming after me. I cry to myself in some forgotten corner. "I'm a monster, aren't I?"

No one could have heard me unless they walked into the room. Which Ayano-chan did. She walked up to me and crouched down. She's gripping a flyer and shows it to me. It's a picture of a hero in red. "That's not true! Red is the color of a hero!"

Her statement does cheer me up somewhat, and I ask quietly if I could keep the flyer, but like a flash she's run off to go cheer up Kido and Kano. I sit there with the flyer in my hands, thinking about her words.

The next day, she motions for us to pay attention. She wraps a red muffler around her neck. "If you guys want, we'll make our own secret brigade!"

Kano and Kido are surprised, and I stare dumbly at both the poster and Ayano with my jaw hanging open. Well, she got our attention and now we were genuinely interested.

She gave us each a hoodie, mine simply plain white. Then we cheer each other up and play around with fake missions.

At the end of the day, Ayano holds a finger to her lips. "This is a secret, just between us, all right?" We all agree.

And from that day forth, Ayano became my hero.


"Um...hello...?" My quiet voice rings out in the forest. My whole body aches from the dangers (to count more notable ones, bees and pitfall traps) that the forest seemed to have held. Right now, however, I'm standing in front of a worn-down cream-colored house, with a leaf on my head and looking completely lost.

Someone inside is doing something, because I hear a thump inside. I rub the back of my head nervously. "Hello? Hello!"

The voices are there and gone, but I hear her thoughts. "Anyone, please come. I'm so lonely."

The person inside doesn't respond, so I open the door. It's a young girl, as old as I am, with white hair and red eyes, like mine. I stare for a few seconds (a bit rude, but I don't know what else to do,) before she speaks, her hands covering her eyes.

"Even today, I had that dream again, where this world was crumbling apart." She muttered to herself before noticing me. "Ah! Don't look into my eyes, or I'll turn you into sone!"

Something felt familiar, and then a shot of courage jumps through my heart. My eyes, still burning red, look down at her before my whole body goes down, seated right next to her. I push her head up, and she looks at me with tears in her eyes.

Suddenly, I am ripped away into her place. An older version of Kido and Kano and a blond-haired girl are dead in a pile in the corner. The older version of me is telling this girl, Mary, to run. He's getting strangled by a black-haired boy with snakes.

There are two voices that knock on the mental wall I've built to protect myself from the other monstrous thoughts I hear. One says quietly "It's so hard..." while the other squeaks "I'm so scared..."

The courage that prevailed a moment ago returns, stronger than ever.

Then I blink, feeling a sense of cold as my unusual power goes into temporary hibernation. "Hey, it'll be alright!"

She looks at me as I hold both of her hands with both of mine. "But..."

I hug her. We were both alone in this world, and I guess we'd have to stick together. My iPod slips out and I take one earbud and put it in my ear. The other I loop into her ear. We both sit quietly as the music plays. A gentle breeze goes through the open window and silently shuts the door.

Her hair ripples. I sit there watching it, fascinated.

We talk about the outside world, my analogies of being a knight from a fairytale meant to save the princess finding their way into her heart.

Finally, she looks to be on the verge of tears again as I get up to leave. "Please don't go, Seto!"

I laugh. "I'll come back for you, my princess! But, as a token..." I take off my hoodie and wrap her in it, her startled face making me smile. "I promise I'll come back!"


I look deep into her red eyes on the moonlit bridge. We stare like that for a few moments before I lean in close. "Mary..."

She makes a bit of a noise in between a squeak and a "Yes!" and I can't help but laugh.

"And here is the happy ending." I kiss her.

Kano show up from nowhere. "This is going to Ene-chan for sure!"
