Author's Note: Here goes chapter 2. This is more like a filler, since it focuses on Chiffon and Satellizer's friendship. And maybe I'll put some Kazuya's POV in here too. I hope I'll get more reviews

Chapter 2

After Satellizer left, Chiffon lounged herself on the bed, enjoying the relaxation. It was always pleasant to have an amiable chat with the blonde, and she was glad that they had somehow managed to befriend each other. Despite Satella's cold and hostile appearance, Chiffon knew deep down she was a nice and reserved girl, so she set out to make acquaintance. Wherever her warm side hid, it must have been really, really deep down, since Satellizer just kept ignoring her or declining her offers for a long time. But the Council President wasn't the type to easily give up; she finally found her way to the impassive Pandora, but only on a special event.

.

Chiffon pulled her cloak closer around her body, but it couldn't stop her shivering. The temperature seemed to get even lower as she walked inside, and that was saying something, since it must be like -1 degree outside. Then again, she was never used to the cold, and the semi-darkness of isolation didn't help either. But her footsteps never ceased; she kept walking towards until she saw what she came here for.

Every chamber inside this punishment building had a thick, solid metal door, keeping everything, or everyone, out of the normal world. And recently, a particular Pandora student that went by the name of Satellizer had been put in here for physically injured another student, or more accurately, a couple consisting of a high-ranked Second Year and her partner. All that just because they accidently bumped into her in the way, then started to blame each other afterwards; she beat them both up, and now she was suffering for that reckless action.

The naïve Pandora couldn't help but feel sorry for Satellizer; what she had done was indeed unforgivable, but there must be a reason why she always reacted to something so trivial with that much brutality. And Lord knows the ever-restless President would found out about that. Taking a deep breath, Chiffon used her keycard to open the door. (AN: Plot convenience, don't fret about it)

.

Satellizer didn't even bother to look up quickly when she heard the buzzing sound of the opening door; it must be the food delivery, even though it was a little too soon for meals. She wasn't going to get out of this quarantined hell in a couple of days, and there's no hope of being released early either.

"Hello Satellizer-san…" Whoever else was in the room said meekly, as if feared of startling her. Warily raising her sight to look at the newcomer, Satellizer sighed and asked.

"Why are you here, Fairchild-senpai?" She drawled.

"I'm making a visit, Satellizer-san. I can't think that anyone can suffer being alone and idle for that long, so I decided to keep you company for a while…" The girl in question trailed off to sit down, keeping a safe distance from the blonde. "That is, if you don't object."

Some small part in Satellizer urged her to snap irritably and kick the too-caring-for-her-own-good Student Coucil President out, but secretly she agreed with Chiffon. Having never had a friend in the academy, she spent most of her free time in her room, reading books, knitting or just thinking. But, she must admit, what kept her from being driven mad was occasional conversations inside class, or hearted cheers from others when she won a competition. No one can live outside the human world, she concluded. So, to Chiffon's utter joy of accomplishment, she stiffly nodded her approval.

Bouncing slightly on the not-so-fluffy bed, the senior Pandora said.

"Satellizer-san, I am really sorry for you, having to stay here. But…"

The blonde interrupted her quickly. "I'm sorry senpai, but I don't need you to feel pity for me. I violated the rules, so I was to be put here. That's completely reasonable."

Chiffon stared at the other girl wide-eyed. "Is she as selfless as I thought, or am I as shallow as I look?" She thought guiltily, regretting her saying.

"That's not what I mean. What happened was a mistake on both parts. I believe that had they minded their manners instead of quarreling around, you would have forgiven them."

Regaining her composure, she tried another move.

Satellizer huffed lightly. "They touched me. I don't care what they said, no one, absolutely no one can touch me." She looked at Chiffon with fire in her eyes as she said this, making the timid girl cower a little. Then, as if regretting her sudden outburst, Satellizer said nothing more. Heavy silence hung in the room like a ghost.

"Satellizer-san… I know that you don't trust me in the slightest, but… If we can just talk a little bit, I promise I'll try my best to help you out with everything." Chiffon said hesitantly, but the blonde could feel the honest in her words. Maybe, just maybe, she could trust her to talk about… After all, this WAS the longest conversation she'd had with anybody since she arrived here, and Chiffon Fairchild was the only one that had talked to her without hostility, without apprehension... Just two equals, two acquaintances. This realization filled her body with a feeling that was almost foreign to her… Gratitude.

"Thank you, Fairchild-senpai. This means a lot to me." She gave Chiffon a half-smile. The brunette beamed happily.

"So… Can we be friends…?" Chiffon said, extending her hand. Perhaps she was going a little too fast, but without certain grounds of friendship, they could never get to know each other. She must take the chance.

Satellizer looked at the offered hand with apprehension. She knew the senior meant good, and she was to reply with politeness. But the fear of being touched still loomed inside her… But, yet another but, she also knew: Inside her heart, she longed for a friend. So, without hesitation, she reached out and shook Chiffon's hand. The sensation was warm and welcoming; the sensation of friendship. Satellizer suddenly felt like crying.

"I'm glad to be your friend, Fairchild-senpai."

"Please, just call me Chiffon. The pleasure is all mine, Satellizer-san."

.

Kazuya sprawled across the welcoming bed, utterly drained. Granted, he was no weakling, but a full day of nonstop physical and power test had finally taken its toll. He hasn't had anything to fill his stomach for more than 12 hours, but eating was the last thing on his mind right now.

It was only her that occupied his mind for the whole day. The beautiful girl with short brown hair and an ever-present smile.

Kazuya shook his head at this. Granted, she was the first and so far the only student that had talked to him, so she must have, more or less, left quite an impression. So, it should just be normal that he thought of her as "beautiful", right?

But somewhere down the line he knew it was not the case here. Since he first laid eyes on Chiffon, he was hit by a strange feeling of familiarity, as if he'd met her before, but not as obvious as that. It was a little more than a tingling sensation, something that seemed to be triggered from an image of his mind. Then suddenly, he remembered.

The dreams! Of course! It made perfect sense, but at the same time didn't make any sense at all. How could he been having dreams about someone without even glimpsing at that person before? But beyond all rational senses, the constant image stayed on his mind: A petite figure, the brown hair... But for some reason he couldn't recall anything more than that. There was always a moment when he was lost in a sea of constantly changing colors before he woke up, as uneasy as ever. Spending a few minutes trying to figure that out, Kazuya slowly drifted to sleep.

A little short, but it made a good foundation for the following events. Later days! And oh, please write me some feedbacks to tell me what you think
