Secret Heart
Chapter Two
"The Third Variable"
2nd Day of Enrollment
I went to class like normal, there wasn't anything different, well, anything different for this class. Monsters were especially different in comparison to normal classes. I sat down in my seat. I noticed Shainingu-san wasn't around. Wait....why did I care whether she was here or not. Damn, all this crazy stuff is messing with my mind. I shook my head and hit my desk with my head.
" Depressed about something?" Asked a voice.
" One would assume so..." I answered.
" Anything I can help with?" the voice asked again.
" Don't think anyone could help..." I looked up." You!" I yelled in surprise as I fell backwards in my seat.
" Me?" Shainingu-san confusingly asked.
" Ah..damn that hurt...oh sorry I didn't mean to surprise you by falling over....aha..." I responded
(Must act calm, can't let her know I'm troubled over her...)
She giggled. "That's fine. Though are you alright?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. Oh, I haven't introduced myself. I am Hisoka Okunote, pleased to meet you."
"Repetition of yesterday's introduction, I guess thats necessary, I'm Sayoko Shainingu."
"Ah, it would be Shainingu-san, then. Glad to meet you."
".....the same....though please call me Sayoko-chan....." She said looking down.
(Eh? Such informalities...no, must not get caught up with details, shes just a friend.)
" Ok, then; Sayoko-chan." I said smiling
(Must act normal, if thats possible in this school)
She smiled "Yay. Oh, here's your pencil back."
Some of the students looked in disbelief at Sayoko-chan. I disconcerned it.
"Thanks" I said taking the pencil she handed me.
The teacher walked in.
"Alright students, please take your seats."
The rest of the day went by smoothly, until lunch that is. I was walking in the lunch room looking for a solitary seat, when I noticed that Sayoko-chan was sitting by herself. I riskily walked over and asked her
"Sitting by yourself?"
"Yes" she said without even looking up.
"Mind if I sit with you?"
"If you want to." She seemed rather depressed, though she still hadn't looked up.
"Why do you sit by yourself?"
"I see no reason to sit with others."
"Alas you don't care if others sit with you."
"As long as they don't bother me."
"Well I would never have any intention to do that."
She finally looked up. She was a little startled.
"Oh, Okunote-san!"
"Please, call me Hisoka-kun." (Kind of a repeat of earlier...)
"Um..sure...Hisoka-kun."
The rest of lunch went by silently, at least for us. We both seemed to be quite anti-social, so conversations were rare.
After school I walked back to my dorm. On the way I felt a chill...my ninpou-senses...I quickly withdrew a kunai and threw it at the tree that I felt the presence from. I thought I saw a shadow withdraw from the tree's side. I decided that there was nothing there and continued to my room. Though at the tree a different event took place then what I had thought.
Sayoko-chan had been behind the tree, stalking me no less.
From above her a voice, in the tree.
"Your skills are raw, but show promise." said the voice. Sayoko quickly jumped away and turned around.
"Show yourself." said Sayoko, in a defending fighting stance.
"It seems you are a stalker like me, interesting..." said the voice again.
"If I'm so interesting you would do me the honour of showing yourself."
"Behind you."
"Hmm...your quick."
"One of such profession would need to be."
"Of stalking?"
"Precisely. Mizore Shirayuki."
"What?"
"My name..."
"oh, I'm Sayoko Shainingu. So what are you stalking?"
"My love...." She said pointing to a group of people.
"Them?"
"The one in the middle..." It was Tsukune.
"Him?"
"Yes. What about you?"
"I've....no reason...."
"Would it be the same as mine."
"....."
"Your silence is enough of an answer, though I will tell you this. Silence is not enough to win him over. As you will see by what ensues over there." She pointed towards the group that Tsukune was with. The succubus was tightly grasping on to Tsukune's shoulder. " You must act or they will never know your feelings." She continued as she readied her ice claw and ran towards the group.
"What a fun girl."
Back to me. I continued back towards my dorm. When I got back, I took a shower, and just laid on my bed for an hour thinking, 'How the hell am i'm going to do this mission?'
