Chapter 1:
When you put on your Limiter, and don the uniform of the Black Alice, you become nothing but a tool. Friendships are broken, weakened, and thrown away once you step out of the gates of the Academy. Nothing exists but the mission. But Kitsume and Neko were always close friends.
Always.
Panicking she threw off her limiter, and hung it around her neck. She pressed both hands on Kitsune's cut and instantly ice began to climb around her torso, keeping her healed for a short time. Bending down the Cat picked her up and flew through the night, trying to reach the Academy as quickly as possible.
Her knees touched the concrete infront of the iron gates of the Academy. Impatient she held out a hand, and instantly the gate froze under her gaze. Clenching her fist, the ice shattered in a shower of crystal demolishing the gate. She put on her mask and sprinted faster than the eye could see, towards the hospital wing. Blurs of people didn't concern her, her only goal was to preserve the fragile beating of Kitsune's heart.
Shuddering, I took a deep breath. Sharp pain pulled at my side with each labored breath. I glanced down to see my entire torso covered in thick gauze bandages. The red was begining to seep through the cloth, i could feel the wound throbbing, i let out a low hiss, regenerative abilities take so long. I propped myself up on my elbows and noticed a sleeping figure next to my bed.
"Eh. Gumi. Wake up." I called out.
"Mphhh. 5 more minuteeessss!" she moaned from between her criss-crossed arms.
"Gumi, it's snowing outside" I deadpanned.
She shot up, her head looking wildly around. What an Ice-Alice. Her unfocused gaze sharpened as she noticed me getting out of bed.
"Stop right there, Kitsune. You almost killed yourself!" her face was flushed. You could tell she hated acting cold during missions, even though it was required by protocol.
"Quit your whining, Gumi, I'm fine." I pointed to her everlasting ice around my torso, it was closing up the wound quickly.
Wiping off the gauze roughly, I changed into my school uniform as quickly as possible. The collared white linen shirt, over a black blazer embroidered with scarlet, a dark, blood red tie and pleated skirt. I completed the drab emsemble with carmine ear rings used as a Limiter. Dark hair with vermilion streaks tumbled messily in curls around my shoulders, i waved towards Gumi and we walked out of the door.
If you are accepted into the Dangerous Ability Class, you get special privileges, a uniform specifically for you, made you stand out from the regular 1-4 star students. Gumi was attired in the mundane uniform, but with variations of the lightest snow blue, with tints of silver.
We had a new assignment.
"Recruit Raiu and Roka."
