Hello, guys. It's me the newby, TF RyuShin. I'm sorry if I didn't left a single word in the prologue. It's just I'm still not used to in . I'm really sorry. Anyway, thanks for everyone who follows and favs this fic and also for Prototurtle who gave the first review in this fic. Thank you, Prototurtle-san. And be not worry, I'm sure that this fic would be interesting. However, I must say that I would update this fic in more slower pace during my school days. Since, I have a full schedule. So, please be patient, especially in the month of exams. I could update it regularly, because of this is my school holidays. Anyway, I made this fic because of the game characters received little love from the authors. So, those who missed the game characters, you could read this fic as a compensation. I'm still considering whether Mayuri should be put in this fic or not. But for now, please enjoy this chapter. Lastly, I don't own Date A Live, Date A Live is owned by Koushi Tachibana. I only own the OCs in this fic.
Chapter 1: A Fateful Reunion
Shido couldn't eat anymore of his breakfast. He could only stare at the two girls in front of him with comical expression. Even Kotori, Yoshino, Yuzuru, and Natsumi haven't touched their food yet. Well, it was because the two girls were acting strangely since yesterday. Shido tried to talk or even greeted the girls, but it seemed that they weren't fazed by it. Yes, those girls are Kaguya and Tohka. Up until now, they haven't even touched their food! They were staring the space with a slut face while also joining their hands in praying position.
"Shido…." Murmured Tohka
"Shido…." Murmured Kaguya
After Kaguya daydreamt yesterday, Tohka also is daydreaming now. Shido could only shake his head seeing the two's behaviors. Shido wanted to ask them what they are thinking about, but they always says that it was nothing. Even Yuzuru was really annoyed by his sister's unusual behavior.
"Um, Yuzuru…. As far as I remembered, I thought that Kaguya was the only to show that behavior. I didn't think Tohka would follow her too….." whispered Shido to Yuzuru
"Agreement: Yes, Shido. I agree too. Since Kaguya is really close to Tohka, it's possible for her to follow Kaguya's behavior." Replied Yuzuru
Shido then makes a long sigh. He just wished that they would stop this. From Shido's opinions, he deduced that maybe the two were thinking about something lewd. Lewd person usually shows such behavior, so no wonder that the two became like that too. Seems like Tohka and Kaguya are going through puberty. He just hoped that they won't increase their lewd level any further. Or even they could turn back to normal. Shido then tries to greet Tohka.
"Ummm….. Tohka….." said Shido, but the girl didn't reply
"Tohka…." Shido then waved his hand in front of her face
"Tohka….." Shido then touches her shoulder but still no reply
"TOHKA!" shouted Shido, having enough for this. This finally awakens the two girls from their daydreaming.
"Ah, Shido! What happened? Is there something wrong?"
"Ah, nothing. But, please tell me, what were you thinking just now?"
"Eh, eh, eh, it's nothing! Really, it's nothing! Don't worry, Shido." Said Tohka while waving her hands madly with beet red cheeks.
"Haaa…. Okay, I trust you. Anyway, eat your breakfast now before it gets cold." Said Shido before returning to his seat and has his breakfast. Not only daydreaming, but sometimes the two girls are fidgeting whenever they interacted with him! He just hopes that this problem will end soon…..
Meanwhile, in the underground facility that Ratatoskr used as an emergency base, Kotori was walking on the corridor of the facility. The reason for the emergency base was because their Fraxinus, the Ratatoskr's airship was badly damaged by Origami. Because of it, Kotori doesn't know if she should love or hate Origami. She almost killed Kotori and Shido and recently she damaged the Fraxinus. However, her status as a Spirit too, made Kotori sympathized her. Especially, Origami has a tragic past and fate that it needed Shido's intervention to change it. Anyhow, she must visit someone quite important now.
Kotori was accompanied by two people. In her right, there is a tall guy around his 30s. He is wearing a clean white military uniform. He has a long blonde hair and dark brown eyes. He is Kannazuki Kyohei, Ratatoskr's vice-commander. Although his position as a vice-commander, he actually didn't do anything great at all. Particularly, when it came to help Shido in his date with Spirits. He always chooses the most unusual choices. Even, the other crews were much more competent than him. However, in a real battle, he is very reliable. He is an amazing tactician and his skill in handling is really good. Though they lost the fight with DEM last time, he managed to land a surprised blow to them. On Kotori's left, there is a young woman around her mid 20s. She is wearing a dark brown military uniform with a mini teddy bear in her uniform's pocket. However, she has black bags in her blue eyes, making every people will notice that she hasn't taken any sleep yet. Even she has a very untidy grey hair which tied in ponytail. She is Murasame Reine, the analyst in Ratatoskr. Unlike Kannazuki, Reine is much more useful and reliable when it comes to help Shido. Even Kotori herself needs several advices from her, especially in a pinch.
"Say, Kannazuki. How was the re-installation?" asked Kotori while eating her favorite lollipop, Chupa Chups
"The re-installation was really successful, Commander. Even with our limited resources and data from the Fraxinus, we managed to re-install her into this realm." Said the vice-commander proudly
"Good. But, I'm afraid if what we did is right? I mean, we re-installed her in such a difficult time like this. I just hope there won't be any side effects."
"Don't worry, Commander. With the re-installation, I'm really sure that she would be useful to Shin. After all, with she could gather a live information and data. With this, our data lost could be replaced at much faster rate." Said Reine while reading several data in her hands. On side note, she is also constantly calling Shido 'Shin'.
"Hm….. Okay. After all, Shido needs a more reliable friend to ease him up." Said Kotori before walking to a room in the corridor
"Commander, should we accompany you to meet her?" asked Kannazuki
"Nah, it's probably going to make her uncomfortable. So, it would be better if I go inside alone. After all, this is a girl's time, no boys allowed!" said Kotori before crushing her lollipop
"What about me?" asked Reine in low voice
"Ummm….. Reine, you should go back and monitor about Shido and the girls. Also, try to analyze any important data about current cases in Tenguu City. Maybe, we could track a new Spirit. Lastly, please check the reparation of Fraxinus. And Kannazuki….. You should know about your duty, right?"
"Of course, Commander! I won't disappoint you like last time!"
"Um! Now, if you may, I will go inside."
"Yes, Commander!" said Reine and Kannazuki before taking their leaves. After the two were out from the sight, Kotori then opened the door of the room. In the room, Kotori sees a young girl around Shido's age. The girl has a white hair which is as white as snow. She also has blue eyes and a pure innocent face that is even as innocent as little kid. She is wearing a white tank top and a red skirt. It seems that she is preparing to wear a uniform as she is trying to the uniform but she stopped as soon as she saw Kotori.
"Ah, hello, Kotori-chan." Said the girl with a nice tone and voice
"Ah! Long time no see, Maria." Said Kotori to the girl, Maria
"Yes, thank you, Kotori-chan. Because of you, I could finally see the real word. This time for real." Replied Maria. Yes, she is Ars Maria, the artificial Spirit who is doubled as Ratatoskr's AI for the dating simulator. She first appeared when Shido tried the dating simulator which connected him to the consciousness of the AI which Maria. It was done to increase Maria's intelligent in order to create more reasonable options for helping Shido's date. It was all fine until Ars Marina hijacked the Fraxinus. It was very disastrous at that time, but fortunately Shido managed to stop Marina. Though, it cost the lost of both Ars sisters. Thankfully, Marina became good at the end of her life and installed Maria's procedure to Shido's phone, thereby saving her. Now, since Maria was installed back to Fraxinus, they decided to install her back to the real world. Even though Fraxinus was badly damaged, they managed to re-install her back perfectly.
"Well, don't thank me. After all, it is what we should do as friend, right? After all, Shido would be really happy to see you again." Said Kotori before eating another Chupa Chups
"Yes….. I'm really grateful to be able to live and meet Shido again…" said Maria while buttoning her uniform. However, she sheds several tears that lands on her hands. She is even shivering greatly. However, she is crying not because of sadness, but it was because of joy.
"Yes…. I'm really grateful….. I thought that I would only become a program…. I'm really grateful to be able to live as a human… And most importantly, I'm really grateful to be able to see Shido again… Shido, my boyfriend…" said Maria while shedding more tears
"There, there. Don't cry, Shido won't be happy if he sees you in such condition. You need more cheerful. After all, you managed to live again as human, right? That's a plus point to me." Said Kotori while comforting Maria
"Yes, thanks, Kotori-chan…. I'm really looking forward to reunite with Shido. I can't wait to learn love and the world with my boyfriend." Said Maria, while regaining her smile
"Hm. Oh yeah, you should prepare now. If not, you will be late for school." Reminded Kotori about the school
"Ah, yes! I forgot about the school!" said Maria while wearing her school uniform's blazer and grabbing her bag. To be honest, Kotori already set Maria to transfer to Shido's school, the Raizen High School. Although Kotori wanted her to go to school tomorrow, she thought that it would be better for Shido to reunite with Maria as fast as they can. Especially in this such difficult time.
"Bye now, Kotori-chan!" said Maria before exiting the room. Kotori then gives a big sigh. Since Shido taught Maria about love and went lots of date with her, it's no wonder for her to call Shido 'boyfriend'. Though she is a little jealous, she thinks this should cheer Shido up. Especially, handling almost 10 girls isn't easy for a young boy like him.
Meanwhile, in the office of a building, a man in his 30s is reading several reports. The man is wearing a jet black suit and has dark ash blond hair. He also has sharp purple eyes that are even as sharp as knife. The man reads the reports with a small smirk, making it looks like he didn't take it seriously. Suddenly, he heard a knock of the door.
"Come in." said the man with a cold tone. The door soon opened, revealing a young woman. The woman has a long Nordic blonde hair with purple eyes. She is wearing a business suit, just like the man, which covered her pale skin. She is also holding several papers which contained reports, information, and data.
"It's me, Ike." Said the woman
"Yo, Ellen. How is it? Have you got any lead?" said the man while placing the reports to the table. He the slowly approaches the girl. The man gave out a mysterious dark aura that seriously going to scare normal people. However, the woman, Ellen, wasn't fazed by it.
"I'm sorry, Ike. But, I couldn't find anything about the Spirit Devil. I thought we could get more advantage from having a Spirit inversed from the start. However, it seems that she disappears quite often and her activity stopped recently." Reported Ellen
"Oh…. How intriguing. I was hoping to get an easy prey, but it was just a null dream. Well, can't be helped then. Since she didn't appear recently, I guess she was sealed by Takamiya…. Ah, sorry, the boy Itsuka Shido." Said the man while giggling a little. Yes this man is Sir Isacc Ray Pelham Wescott, nicknamed Ike. He is the director of DEM, the organization who supplies technology to combat Spirits. Their technologies is usually given to AST, the organization which tries to kill Spirits to stop Spacequake. However, it doesn't mean that DEM is just a normal company. In fact, this organization has analyzed Spirits and also has strong combatants too. Ellen was one of the prime examples.
"Sorry, Ike… We couldn't track the new Inverse Spirit…." Apologized Ellen
"Nah….. With two Spirits were inverted, it's more than I could hope. At the very least, I'm happy to just hear the news about Inverse Spirits. I'm really wondering who should our next prey." Said Wescott with a deadly tone than is as deadly as poison
"How about Material A? She would be a good test subject."
"Well, we need one more push to inverse her. That's something I have been thinking. Though we could use her powers to search more information, I don't want to disturb the inversion. She might even going to lash out if she sees us. So, I don't think it's a good idea. We should just focus to torture her more."
"Yes, I sent several men to break her mental. I'm a little sympathized to her about getting physical and sexual torture almost everyday. But, if it's Ike's orders, I will follow it no matter what. After all, Material A is going to be inversed sooner or later."
"Yes, I'm really looking forward to it." said Wescott while making an evil smirk
"By the way, Ike, what have you been doing? Are you reading about 'Spirit Brace' candidates?" asked Ellen, changing the topic
"Nah, I was just reading about several complaints from our colleague. Man, they sure didn't learn from their previous fault. Well, don't worry, they are just cats who want to overthrow the lion but the cats are too weak. After we proceed to the next step, I know that they would be silenced by seeing the inversion."
"I understand. But, how about the Spirit Brace? I know that the development is already completed, but we couldn't get a compatible candidate. We already lost so many Wizards because of it. Ike, if you may, I will gladly to test the Spirit Brace." Suggested Ellen
"Well, you don't have to do it. You're the strongest wizard, but forcing you to the next level will only burden you. So, I tried to find a more compatible candidate. But, no worries, I have found the perfect candidate." Said Wescott calmly
"Have you? If yes, I hope that the candidate would be competent enough like me."
"Well, he should be arrived here right now. You should be happy right now, Ellen. You would make a great tag partner with him." Said Wescott while giggling
"Him?"
Before Ellen could ask any further, they soon heard a loud bang from the door. Suddenly, a boy enters the office while cartwheeling. He kept doing the cartwheeling before he noticed a table in front of him. The boy then leaped into the air and did several salto in mid-air before landing perfectly in a sofa. The boy is crouching in the sofa now and because he stopped his over-the-top entrance, Ellen is finally able to see the boy's appearances. The boy's age is around 17-18 years old and he has thick light blue hair along with a matching blue eyes. He is wearing a green T-shirt with the word 'I'm the best' written on it. Lastly, he wears a cyan-colored hoodie jacket which also matched his overall appearances. On the boy hands, there is a box of Pocky.
"Yo, Scotty! I'm here!" said the boy cheerfully to Wescot while eating a stick of Pocky
"Yo…" Before Wescott could reply, Ellen interrupted him first.
"What are you doing!? Where is your manner!? You must have a respect to Ike! Bow now and apologize!" shouted Ellen to the boy. However, the boy was unfazed by it and instead he just looks Ellen for awhile. He then jumps from the sofa.
"That blonde hair….. Don't tell me, you're Ellen-chan!?" asked the boy surprised but also excited. Ellen was really shocked, no one dare to even call his first name nor even adding a suffix to her name. Even Ike and Shido never add a suffix to her name. Because of this, Ellen felt a really big insult coming from the boy's mouth. Before, Ellen could continue, the boy grabs her hands.
"Uooooo, Ellen-chan…. Do you know how long I dream to meet up with you? Man, it's like a dream to team up with the strongest wizard in the world and also in my heart." teased the boy
"Wha, what are you talking about? Have a little manner! I'm not your friend or family! You should bow to me! I'm the superior one here!" said Ellen while releasing the boy's grasp. Ellen felt really insulted right now. No one in her life has ever teased and jested with her. They knew that jesting with the strongest wizard would mean becoming a dinner. But, this boy! He really has a big brave to jest with her! He even sees this as a little game.
"Wo, wo, wo, calm down, Ellen-chan. You know becoming a strongest wizard is never easy. Your skin is so pale, here eat one of my Pocky. Don't be scared if you get a weight, I know you could manipulate your weight using Realizer. So, eat more or you will become a ghost." Said the boy with sarcastic tone
"Have you gone to mad!? I'm the strongest Wizard in the world! I don't need your advice nor your care! I could manage myself! So, just shut up and get out from here before I cut you to pieces!" said Ellen very pissed. She tried to hold her anger since Ike was here. If Ike wasn't here, she would cut the boy's tongue.
"Wow, Ellen-chan what a vocab you have. You maybe cocky, aggressive, clumsy, temperamental, but you know that features makes my heart always goes 'doki doki' whenever I see you." said the boy while holding Ellen's hand and places it in his chest. Having enough and since the boy has touched Ellen's maximum line, Ellen was really pissed to the point that she activates her Territory. However, the boy realized it and soon jumps backwards, avoiding the Territory. Ellen is giving a deep breath, knowing that dealing with this guy is a pain in the ass. She soon realized that her Territory almost touched Wescott merely an inch.
"Ah, sorry, Ike." Apologized Ellen
"Nah, don't worry about."
"But, I just couldn't hold my anger because of that boy's foul mouth. He even called you with no respect! Ike, if you may, I will finish this in a second."
"Don't worry, Ellen. He is our new ally, the user of Spirit Brace, Kobayashi Toru." Said Wescot calmly. Ellen needs several seconds to process the sentence before she realized the meaning of the sentence. She almost shouts in a fit of surprise, but she need to keep her image.
"This, this, this boy…. He is the user of Spirit Brace!? How in the world he could use such a device! It must be a dream."
"This ain't a dream, Ellen-chan. My 'doki doki' heart is the proof of this reality." Said the boy, named Toru while hand-standing
"Ike, this couldn't be real, right!? Please tell me that this is a dream!"
"Nope, this is a reality. He will become your new partner." Said Wescott calmly. Ellen couldn't believe it. A boy who has a foul mouth, hyperactive, and a playboy is her partner!? God must be unfair to pair her with the boy! He even didn't meet a standard to become Ellen's partner nor becoming one of the Adeptus!
"Yep, Ellen-chan. I'm your new partner. Nice to meet you! I'm Kobayashi Toru, but you could call me Toru-kun my cute and lovely Ellen-chan." Said Toru while winking at her
"Hey! Don't call me like that! You were neither at the same level like me! And you even called Ike with no respect!"
"But, you also We…., we… we….. Man, such a hard name….. I mean you call Scotty with Ike, right? That means we are similar. It's like a destiny. Maybe to celebrate it, we could go out for a date." Said Toru, pissing off Ellen even more. Having enough with it, she stormed off from the office, hoping to find a good and fresh air.
"Sorry, Toru-kun. Ellen maybe like that, but she isn't a bad girl." Said Wescott
"Don't worry, Scotty. Seeing her like that even makes my heart goes 'doki doki'. Someday, I will make Ellen-chan falls to me and we are going to make cute children. By the way, want some, Scotty?" Said Toru while offering his Pocky
"No, thanks."
Meanwhile, Ellen is walking in the corridor angrily. She just met a really annoying boy who happens to be her partner. She just couldn't believe such a hyperactive boy managed to beat so many competent and experienced candidates. This is a real nightmare for her. Suddenly, she realized that there will be a practice time between him and the other Wizards. Ellen then makes a smirk. She knows that time would be really perfect to teach the boy a firm lesson to not messing up with the strongest Wizard in the world.
Meanwhile on the Raizen High School, Shido is walking in the corridor with Tohka, Kaguya and Yuzuru. Shido looks more down than this morning, even he gave out a big sigh.
"Worried: Shido, are you alright?" asked Yuzuru in concerned tone
"Don't worry, Yuzuru. I'm alright. I just don't feel good for this day." Yes, after dealing with the daydreaming Kaguya and Tohka, Shido found out that his belongings in his locker were all gone. He tried to search it, but he didn't find it at all. Shido feels really down now and he couldn't be sure if he could survive this day or not.
"Shido…. I'm sorry if I and Kaguya made a trouble to you…." apologized Tohka. She realized that her behavior really annoyed the others. Even normal people would find their behavior is unusual. Heck, they might even think the two girls were a slut crazy.
"Yes, Shido…. I also want to apologize. As a child of hurricane, being distracted by cloudy dream really hit my and Yuzuru's pride. I swear I won't the magic fantasy control me again." Apologized Kaguya too. Since she made Tohka to fantasize lewd things, she felt more responsible than ever.
"Nah, don't worry. The real problem here now is my books were all gone. Ha…. I think the teacher will give a good lectures." Said Shido
"Don't worry, Shido. I'm really sure you will find your belongings." Cheered Tohka
"Haha, thanks Tohka." Said Shido before he entered his class. However, he was shocked and surprised by what he saw in the class. Not only, the girls and every students in his class also was surprised too. In Shido's seat, there is a girl wearing a thick jacket. I mean very, very, very thick jacket. It seems that the girl places so many things inside the jacket that makes the jacket looks very full. The girl has shoulder-length white hair with hairclip on it and deep blue eyes. It seems that she is concentrating as she is very calm even with all the ruckus in the class.
"Master Origami!" said Yuzuru to the girl, taking the girl's attention. She soon turns her head to see Shido and the girls
"Origami, what are you doing?" asked Shido in confusion
"Shido, I was trying to heat your seat, tables and also your belongings in the locker. I was afraid you might catch a cold if your surroundings weren't hot enough." Said Origami calmly
"So, my books were….."
"Yes. And Shido, could please open the jacket, I think there were hot enough." Said Origami in her still calm tone. Shido soon approaches Origami before unzipping the jacket. And now it was revealed that Shido's belongings were all heated by Origami using her body temperature and her thick jacket.
"Shido, here. These are already in good temperature. Now, I will heat you." said Origami boldly while trying to hug Shido. But, the boy soon realized it and stopped her.
"Origami….. I know you really care to me. But, what are you doing isn't good. I almost thought someone stole my books in the locker and you might even be deducted as a bad girl. You need to lower your obsession to me. I mean look your surroundings, they thought you are strange girl. For me, Origami is my cherished girl, but for others maybe not. So, please, don't do any strange behavior. I'm afraid if you become more anti-social then ever." Said Shido while holding Origami's shoulders. As like struck by lightning, Origami's eyes twitch greatly. She then looks everyone around her and also what she had done to Shido's belongings. She then releases Shido's grabs and shivers greatly.
"It, It, Itsuka-kun…. I'm sorry for causing a ruckus to you…." said Origami with more different tone and actually much more cuter and normal tone! Right now, Origami felt really embarrassed and covers her face with her hands and crying very hard.
"Ah, don't cry, Origami…. I'm sorry if my words are too hurtful to you…." comforted Shido
"No…. It's my fault, Itsuka-kun….. It's my fault for letting my 'other me' taking control….." cried Origami while covering her face. Origami was the most recent Spirit that Shido sealed. She also went the inversion, just like Tohka. Well, it's understandable since she accidentally killed her parents in 10 years ago. The despair of killing her own parents pushed her becoming an Inverse Spirit. Fortunately, Kurumi sent Shido (twice) to the past and on the second chance, Shido managed to save Origami's parents by letting himself got shot by Origami's Metatron. Though Origami's parents still died one year after the incident, one year is enough to give more proper lesson for Origami to become a (much) more normal girl. However, this incident left Origami with two different personalities. The obsessive Origami from the past and the bashful current Origami. Sometimes, the obsessive Origami takes control of her body to do such abnormal things that left the current Origami very embarrassed. This day's case is on of the examples. Also, the current Origami still couldn't call Shido with his name and opts to call him 'Itsuka-kun'. However, this makes the current Origami much more cuter (and attractive) to Shido.
"There, there, Origami…." Said Shido while patting Origami's head. He hopes that this would calm Origami.
Meanwhile, Maria is running like hell in the school corridor.
"I'm late, I'm late, I'M LATE!" said Maria while running as fast as she can. The facility is quite far from Raizen High School and she must run like hell to here. And it's 7:50, 10 minutes before the school starts. However, deep in her heart, she couldn't wait to see Shido, Tohka and the others. But, she need to arrive to the class first. Because of focusing on running, Maria didn't notice someone is coming from the stairs and the student was also running. Unfortunately, Maria couldn't stop her running and…..
"Watch out!" shouted Maria
"Waaa!" shouted the student too
They crashed into each other and fell to the ground with a loud thud. Their books were scattered in the floor. And they were rubbing their head.
"Itttaaiii…." Groaned the student
"So, sorry, I was in a hurry, so I couldn't stop running…" said Maria while picking up her books
"Ah, I'm sorry too. I was also in a hurry." Said the student while helping Maria picking her books up. Suddenly, their hands touched each other when they are picking a book. Because of the surprise sensation, the two then lifted their head and saw each other face.
In front of her, Maria sees a boy around her age. The boy has thick blue hair and it's hairstyle, you could just think it likes Kazuraba Kouta's hairstyle, and the boy has a light brown eyes. He is wearing Raizen High School uniform like her and from the first sight, the boy really resembles Shido greatly. Meanwhile, the boy keeps staring Maria's face. The boy was really interested and liked Maria's blue eyes and her innocent face. Seeing her cute face makes the boy's heart goes 'doki doki'.
"Kawai…." Thought the boy while blushing with tomato cheeks
"Ano, I'm sorry." Said Maria, snapping the boy from his thought. The boy soon shook his head to regain his consciousness.
"Ah, don't worry. I was also in a hurry. I was also really late. Oh yeah, here's your book." Said the boy while giving the books to Maria. Their hands were touching again, making the boy's heart goes 'doki doki' again. He doesn't know why but he likes Maria's face and innocent attitude. She sure is a good and kind girl. He felt that he found his destined girl.
"Thanks. Oh, are you a new student?" asked Maria
"Yep, I'm. My name is Kazuraba Yuuto, nice to meet you." said the boy, named Yuuto
"Yes, nice to meet you too, Kazuraba-kun. I'm also a transfer student. My name is Ars Maria." Said Maria while handshaking with Yuuto. Yuuto then looks at his watch at it shows 8:05.
"Ah, damn! We are late! It's already 8:05!" shouted Yuuto
"Really!? Shit, we need to go to our class as fast as we can!" said Maria before running to her class as fast as she can, followed by Yuuto. The two soon then arrived at class 2-4. Mari then slams the door and enters the class. However, she accidentally tripped her own leg and ended up falling.
"Maria-chan!" Yuuto reactively grabs Maria's hand, but it only results the two falls to the floor with a loud thud. Every students and even the homeroom teacher see the two new students. The two was also rubbing their head again.
"Ittaiii…" groaned Yuuto
"Kazuraba-kun, are you transferred into this class too?" asked Maria
"Yes, I'm?" said Yuuto while rubbing his head
"Ano, are you two the new transfer students?" said the homeroom teacher. She has brown hair and eyes and she wears a glasses. The teacher also has a petit figure. This Okamine Tamae, the homeroom teacher of class 2-4.
"Ah, yes we are." Replied Yuuto while trying to stand up. He soon helps Maria to stand up.
"Are you two alright?" asked Tamae worried
"Don't worry, falling like that isn't going to hurt us. Anyway, if you may, can we introduce ourselves?" asked Yuuto, replied with a nod from the teacher
"Okay, everyone. I'm Kazuraba Yuuto, nice too meet you all." Introduced Yuuto
"I'm Ars Maria, nice to meet you." said Maria while bowing. Everyone begins to chat with each other. They were surprised to see another cute girl transferred into their class. After Tohka and Kurumi, now they have a new girl in their class. Along with a handsome boy as a bonus.
"Wow, that girl looks so pure, innocent and cute." Said one student
"Yeah, and she made me think that she is Origami's twin sister." Said another student
However, there was only one student who didn't even talk a single word. He was really shocked to death by seeing Maria. Yes, he is Itsuka Shido.
"Maria…." Said Shido, gaining the girl's attention
"Shido!" said Maria while running to Shido. She soon hugs Shido tightly and it doesn't seem like she wants to release it.
"Shido, I'm back! We are finally able to meet again. I thought I would rust as a mere program, but I'm really grateful to meet you again." Said Maria while shedding tears
"Maria….. Yes, I'm happy to see you again. I thought you will only exist as a program…. But, you're a full-flex human now." Said Shido while rubbing Maria's head. Everyone soon sent a deadly glare to Shido, but they weren't fazed by it. Even Tohka and Origami also a little jealous. But the most grumpy one is Yuuto! When he saw Shido hugs Maria, he becomes a little upset. He even felt his heart was pierced by arrow.
"Maria-chan, who is that guy?" asked Yuuto
"Ah, Kazuraba-kun, this is Shido, my boyfriend." Said Maria with a cheerful smile
'My boyfriend…..' that word echoed in Yuuto's mind. That word really rips his heart into pieces. He thought that Maria was his destined girlfriend, but he was really late. Maria already has a boyfriend. If there was no one here, Yuuto would already have sit in the corner of the room. Thinking the meaning of life. Shido finally got to see the full appearance of the other transfer student. His eyes soon widened and he was shocked to see Yuuto.
"Heeee!? Who are you!? Why your face is similar to me?" said Shido while pointing his finger to Yuuto. Now to think of it, Shido and Yuuto has a similar face. The only thing that differentiate them is their hairstyle and their eyes' contrast.
"Heh!? You too, why Maria-chan's boyfriend also looks like me!? Who are1 you? Are you an impostor?"
"No, no, no, I'm not your copy! Instead, why your face looks similar to me!? Don't tell me you're an evil copy!"
"No way, I'm just a normal student and I'm also a good guy, you know!"
"Then…. You must be… Doppelganger…" said Shido before he lost his consciousness and fell to the ground. It seems that Shido couldn't apprehend the fact that he saw his doppelganger right in front of him!
"Oi, oi, Shido, are you alright?" asked Yuuto while shaking Shido's body
"Shido!" shouted Tohka, Origami and Maria. They rushed to Shido's side and shake his body greatly. However, he didn't even flinch or move.
"Shido, wake up, Shido, Shido!" shouted Tohka while shaking Shido's body
"We need to take Itsuka-kun to the nursery." Suggested Origami
"Um! Kazuraba-kun, can you help us bring Shido to nursery?" asked Maria. Though he didn't like Shido for becoming Shido's girlfriend, he is still worried to Shido's well being as his own copy.
"Yes, let's take Shido to the nursery." Said Yuuto before carrying Shido to the nursery
Meanwhile, on a car, Miku is marveling the present that he will give to Shido. Not only that, she also bought several souvenirs from Osaka. But, for Shido, it's more special. His present is wrapped by blue paper with golden ribbon.
'Darling would love this.' Thought Miku while marveling the beauty of the present that she will give to her boyfriend
"Please, speed up a little." Said Miku to the car's driver (of course, female)
"Yes, ma'am." Said the driver before speeding up the car
Unknown to them, a hooded figure was watching them from a rooftop of a high building.
"Hmph! There she is…. My first target." Said the figure before revealing his dark blue eyes. The figure soon jumped from the building
"Ugh….." groaned Shido while opening his eyes
"Shido!" shouted Yuuto and the girls
"Ugh, how long I was out?" asked Shido while holding his head
"About 4 hours." Said Origami
"Shido, are you alright? I'm afraid if you won't open your eyes again." Said Maria worried
"Me too." Added Tohka
"Yes, I was just shocked to see my doppelganger."
"Hey, Shido, I'm not your copy or doppelganger. Even my surname is different from you!" said Yuuto angrily. Having to see Shido is Maria's boyfriend was already bad, now he was seen as a doppelganger. Man, this is his bad day ever!
"Ah, sorry, Yuuto. I don't mean to. I just shocked, that's all." Said Shido
"Don't worry, I know. I even would go into coma if I really see my real doppelganger." Replied Yuuto
"Yeah, thanks, Yuuto."
"Hey, I should be the one who thanks to you. I don't really want to be stated as a doppelganger for the rest of my school life." Said Yuuto. They soon laugh because of their conversation. Shido then sees his phone in the table. He then checks his phone, there might be several messages sent to him while he was out. And like what he thought, there was a photo sent to him just now. He then checks it and his eyes soon widened after seeing the photo. In the photo there was a girl hanged in an abandoned factory. She has indigo hair which was covered by dust and a little mud. There were so many scars in her face and bloods keep leaking from her scars, eyes and mouth. Her clothes were ripped in most of the parts and she was injured greatly to the point that there were so many fresh bloods in her beautiful skins and her ripped clothes. Even her moon hairclip was cut into half. However, what made Shido shocked to surprise is there is a huge gash of blood in the girl's chest. No matter how badly she looks, Shido was still able to recognize her. Her current condition really struck Shido's chest. Shido really hopes this is just a dream, this can't be real. He just couldn't apprehend the cruel reality. He whispered the poor girl's name.
"Miku…."
Welp, that's all for the first chapter. I'm really sorry if my fic is long, but I just couldn't write 2k-3k+. It just too short for a fic in my opinion. And I'm also sorry if I inserted some descriptions in this chapter. There were so many characters that need to be described, especially my OCs. But, it's for the sake of this fic. Also, I'm really like to put romance in my fic, so no wonder if my fics will be heavily-romance based. Then, how about this chapter? Please R&R. What did happen to Miku and who is this Yuuto guy (*laugh*doppelganger*laugh*)? Be sure to wait for the next chapter. Also, I will tell you several things in my later chapters in this fic. First, our mangaka Spirit, Honjou Nia, is confirmed in this fic, even if she appears two volumes ahead. Second, I'm sorry to Kurumi's fans, but she won't appear in early chapters, but don't worry, she will play a pivotal role, along with Nia. Third, this fic doesn't have any connections to 'Kamen Rider Gaim'. It's just that I love Kamen Rider that maybe I will put several references of it in several chapters. Lastly, is there any way to add new characters in the pairings? Since, I felt the game characters were quite left out and maybe my fic is the first one which focus on game characters. This is also a problem for new characters, like Nia. I hope there are more complete roster of the pairings. But, now, I will give the possible pairings in this fic.
Yuuto K. X Maria A., Nia H., Kaguya Y. and Natsumi
Shido I. X Rinne S., Tohka Y., Kurumi T. and Kotori I.
That's all I could say, well, see you later for more true dragon's roars (read: chapters).
