Episode 1: Scattering the pieces…ayumu pov…
" Rutherford-san! Rutherford-san! Now that you're back from your world tour, what do you plan to do?" the voice of a reporter greeted me the instant I turned on the tv. And ice blue eyes stared out of the aforementioned object.
…and, as if on cue, a flash of black threw me down…
"Ayumu-kun!"
"Nee-chan!"
"Waii! Eyes Rutherford has come back Ayumu-kun!" a shrill , but familiar voice followed mine, signaling that Yuizaki tailed me.
The 2 women or girls, I don't know which is appropriate for my sister jumped for joy at the return of their beloved pianist… totally forgetting his background…
…end ayumu pov…
Narumi Ayumu stood up, brushed himself off and headed for the kitchen. An open magazine and 2 big plastic bags filled with food greeted him.
" chazuke… sigh … do we really need this much for chazuke?" the brunette asked.
"Ofcourse! Hiyono-chan is staying for dinner tonight!" Narumi Madoka said.
Ayumu sighed and put on his apron. He started to cook the by now memorized dish, all the while listening to the tv.
'..why has he come back?..'
…2 weeks later…
After classes, Ayumu and Hiyono made their way to Miraiyo Hotel. The hotel Eyes Rutherford was currently staying at.
"..Eyes Rutherford will be spending time once again at Miraiyo Hotel, the hotel he occupied 2 years ago.."
Ayumu looked at the pot on the stove and knitted his eyebrows together. '..the same hotel?..'
" Nee, Narumi-san, shouldn't we have told Madoka-chan we're seeing them?" Hiyono asked, walking after the brunette, who was speed walking.
" Who says we're seeing all of them?" Ayumu said as they walked into the empty elevator. "…just one…"
…Eyes' penthouse…
" Ryoko-chan!"
A silver haired girl squealed as a brunette wlaked in.
" Oi, Rio! Rutherford." She said with a nod to the pianist on his usual black piano. Rio ran and hugged her as another figure entered.
"Yo Rutherford. Yo Rio! Hey, Rio, did you shrink?"
Kousuke Asazuki teased. Eyes stood up and shook hands with the 2. All of them had changed a lot in the past 2 years.
Rio Takeuchi had grown another 11 mm, and her hair reached her knees. "Ryoko-chan, where's my melon?"
…but she still loved melons…
Ryoko Takamachi had let her chestnut brown hair grow longer,and it reached her waist in a trim cut. She still loves sports though… "Kousuke, catch!" she said as she threw the melon to the redhead.
Kousuke Asazuki caught the melon , unaware that it was not his. " Sankyuu!" Not much had changed about the dagger wielding blade child…except for the fact that he wears a variety of shades and glasses now.
" Kousuke-baka , give me back my melon!"
" Rio, you know I don't have your brain!"
"eh? Kousuke-baka, are you alright?"
"well, your melon is technically your brain so-"-tosses melon to Ryoko-" I don't have it."
"Mouuu!"
…outside…lounge-thingy…
" Chotto matte you , Narumi-san!" Hiyono called after the brunette. "Narumi-san , what do you expect to find this time?"
" Shiranai…but I feel something…"
Ayumu said as they entered the elevator that would lead them to the glasslined penthouse.
…ayumu pov…
They suddenly appear out of nowhere…what do they have planned this time? I've only had one contact , and that's with Rio…
A single e-mail…no valid return address…no trace…nothing…
'To: narumi-otouto
the blade children are one Narumi-otouto. Keep believing in your own power.
From: rio'
Maybe I'm a bit too paranoid… maybe there's nothing going on… maybe it's just that nagging feeling I've suppressed these 2 years…Rutherford… what do you intend to- "We're here Narumi-san!"
I snap out of my reverie as Yuizaki dragged me out. Luckily there wasn't any one visible. I slowly reach for the chrome handle and gripped it.
…5 seconds passed…
…10 seconds…
…15 seconds…
" Narumi-san…"
" Wakatteiru…"
I reply letting go. I wont take the chance of destroying the peace… " Ikuzo." I turn around , an odd sense of defeat in my chest and after a few steps, fall face flat on the floor.
…end pov…
" Narumi-san!" Hiyono shouted as Ayumu pried a silver-haired girl off him. "Ayumu-kun! Ayumu-kun!" she chanted.
" T-T-Takeuchi?" the chocolate haired boy stuttered. The once small prodigy had grown a bit… at least from the wait he felt on him before.
" Yo Ayumu!" Another familiar voice greeted him. Ahand helped him up , and he came face to face with the boy who once tried to kill him with a box of killer wasps / bees, Kousuke Asazuki.
"Yo kanojou!" Kousuke waved at Hiyono who glared and said, " It's H-I-Y-O-N-O! mouu…"
"Asazuki, Takamachi." Ayumu said as a brunette with waist long hair came out too, grinning at him. "Ayumu."
…inside…
" Rutherford." " Narumi-otouto."
Hiyono sighed at this cold greeting between the 2.
"Mou! Narumi-san, Eyes-kun, greet each other!" she said.
"Sou-sou!"
"I agree with Hiyono-chan!"
"Ore mou."
Rio, Ryoko and Kousuke said, cornering the 2 pianists.
Ayumu sighed and faced the older, the same time as he did.
"…Eyes…" "…Ayumu…"
It felt a little weird, after all the deadly tests and enigmatic conversations, wherein they used their last names, here they are, saying their first names to each other.
" Yoshi! Nee, Ryoko-chan, how are you and Kousuke-kun?"
Hiyono asked, dragging the 2 girls to the velvet couch. a/n: the penthouse now has 2 velvet couches opposite each other
Eyes walked soundlessly towards the other couch, far from the girls and the other 2 followed suit.
" So… why did you come back?"
…other couch…girl's couch…
" Wha-? Hey, wait a minute, what about you and Ayumu? How's your relationship?" Ryoko countered.
"N-Nani!" Rio and Hiyono exclaimed, the latter blushing timidly. "Narumi-san is just a friend to me…"
"Really?"
"Really!" '…at least I think so…'
"Nee, let's watch tv!" Rio suggested, pullin the girls' hands. They entered the adjacent room, leaving the silence to enter.
…boys' couch…ayumu pov…
"So…why did you come back?"
Idiot! What a stupid question! Of all the things…
"Some days…like this one…" the blue eyed pianist said, surprising me. "What days?" I ask, sitting next to the pianist. "…" was Eyes' short reply.
"Mou! There he goes again! What next? A black cat and some dried sardines?" Kousuke was obviously joking since Eyes did not reply…what kind of logic is that?
"A silent voice called…" Eyes mumbled. "2 years Eyes…I think that's a bit too short…" I trail off, what I meant to say afterwards forgotten…or best not said.
"Have you found Kiyotaka?" Kousuke asked. I shook my head and looked at the red haired… " 21 now Asazuki?"
"Yup…Rutherford's 19, and you?" he asked. "17"
"So…" he said, leering closer, "..what's going on between you and Hiyono-chan?"
"N-n-nani !"
…eyes pov…
Sou…it's too short for us to be here…Narumi-otouto…You've changed, I can tell…Though if you've gotten stronger or weaker only time will tell.
But…I believe you're stronger now…I feel something else is coming…Kanone…
…end povs…
"Narumi-san! Narumi-san!" Hiyono's trembling voice
pierced the silence, along with Rio's shaking "Eyes-kun…Kousuke…"
The trio got up and ran towards the next room. It had a 60 inch plasma tv and a couple of black couches around.
"It's been doing that again and again…" Hiyono said.
The screen showed a shadowy figure, probably male, talking in a hoarse but very audible voice. "What's going on?" Kousuke asked.
"…the time of truth… is coming…"
…madoka's office…
"…for the… Blade Children…find your pieces…"
Narumi Madoka stared in shock at the screen.
"I-Inspector Narumi?"
…somewhere else…
"…from around the world…and be prepared…for the…final judgement…"
A brunette turned off the tv, and walked towards the window.
'…it's time…'
…eyes' penthouse…
Eyes turned off the tv, trying , trying like the others to gain hold of the situation.
"Ayu- I mean, Narumi-otouto, I hate to ask you to leave like this, but we have to talk." He said.
"Wakatta. Ikuzo Yuizaki." Ayumu said, exiting the room.
"… what do we do now?…"
…narumi apartment…
"Ayumu-kun!" Madoka rushed through the door to find her brother-in-law cooking dinner.
"Nee-chan! You're early.." he said.
"…ehrm…I had someone take over my shift…" she said sitting down, her back facing the brunette.
"…I went to Rutherford's place…"
"Sou…"
"…you saw…?"
"…yes, Ayumu-kun…"
Ayumu exited the room, heading for his own.
"I wonder what they'll do this time…"
OWARI-DESU!
