Owen had just arrived in the library. He was just going to borrow some books and go back. He was still in thoughts about the Kampfers. "I only have one clue, those bracelets" Unless there was a law that you can roll up people sleeves and not to be seen as completely weirdo, i would be at a dead end" Owen desperately needed more.
He took the books that looked like they are for brain surgeons.
Owen knew he had to think more or he would have to end it there.
Those girls looked like 2nd years due to their height and their hair would be easy to spot since most girls he have seen were brown haired or black haired. But the biggest lead would be that orange haired girl.
Owen knew that Matt would have said something about her eventually during their talk in class.
Owen had paid no attention to Matt's rambling so he would have to remember it more closely.
Owen remembered it but he had to think hard. Then it came to him. A film came in his head. A memory of a little earlier this day.
Owen was sitting at his new desk in class 2-4.
He was sitting there in thought until a hand came bursting in on his desk. "Well hello there!" said the guy. Owen looked up to see a black haired guy with his hair that was slicked so long back that he looked like he had cornrows. "So I hear you're from Europe" he said "Yes... i'm from Europe" Owen said " Well, nice to meet you, i'm Matt" he said happily "Mine's Owen"
Matt seemed like a nice guy. He was cheerful, nice and ignorantly happy.
"So you new to town?" Matt said. " Yes I arrived yesterday" " So maybe I could explain the school to you then" Matt said with a smile. "Sure".
"Mind if I tell you about the females of this school?" Matt said
If I had know what he was going to say I would have not said yes.
After that Matt started rambling and rambling about the godly female side and how hellish the boys side is.
He said secret tunnels, meeting goddesses etc etc etc.
Owen face looked like he had just been through the most boring lecture in history. What was minutes felt like months.
Matt's rambling eventually came into the school idols.
He said that there were 2 girls that was unique. Shizuku Sango and Kaede Sakura. Matt's face lighted up as he spoke about them. "The two Idols of Seitetsu academy, they are the beauties of this school filled with lesser beauties. They stand out, is almost impossible to get and are sweet.
The black haired Shizuku Sango and orange haired Kaede Sakura Shizuku or the Prez if you like has the looks and authority. She is more serious than any other girl in this school. Her hair is beautiful like a model and she can always be resourseful.
Her beauty is only matched by the sweet sweet Kaede. Matt's face looked even happier than before. Her personalty is sweeter than sugar and cherries mixed together. She has never had a date before there is even a saying for her. Matt's talking went on until he told me about her looks. How he wonders she looked in revealing outfits.
Matt's face were in a dreaming state. Owen shrugged about what he could be thinking about. Matt came out of that trance he was in and continued to ramble. Thankfully the teacher arrived. Matt went back to his spot and as he did Owen took his hands together praising God.
Owen now had a lead. Kaede Sakura. Owen remembered she was looking for a person named Natsuru at the crossroad. Owen thought that looking for Natsuru didn't matter to this case but she could say more about the kampfers.
Owen heard the bell ring and went back to his classroom. Owen had maybe a possible, now he had to speak to Kaede. Owen knew it would not be easy since she is so popular. Owen decided he had to take a whiteboard up when he came home. As for now he walked to class deciding he would think it out when he came home.
As Owen walked home in the sunset he remembered about how the house looked yesterday.
Owen's face became sour. He had been swindled for a lot of cash. "Grr... I have to find a better home than..." Owen came at a halt. He noticed that the tent was no longer standing in the yard. Owen was surprised to this. Could it have been thieves? Owen was wondering if they had been inside.
But what was there to steal. The house was after all completely wrecked.
Owen went in and was surprised. The living room was renovated to it's finest, the walls were white as a new pillow. There were new furnishing. A white sofa, a glass coffee table and some white chairs centered in the corner near the sofa. Here were windows in the walls letting in shining sunlight. Owen's jaw was wide open and would be like that for a long time. Owen was shocked and happy over this. The bats were gone, there were no webs in the corner and the house looked good.
Owen could only think of the bedroom right there since the entire floor was missing. Owen smiled and ran up the stairs to find the walls new and white as the walls in the living room. But the floor was not made of wood it was only metal plates stacked on each other and screwed together.
Owen felt a little disappointed but he knew it would be impossible to repair the floor in one day.
Owen went out of the room and down into the living room.
He left his bag on the stairs and sat down on the sofa.
Owen put his legs on the glass coffee table and wondered who could have done this. "A benefactor?" He thought. Owen was completely clueless about who would have done this. Owen had even another mystery but he decided to continue on the kampfers.
"Kampfers..." He had only one lead, Kaede Sakura. Did she have any answers or would she leave even more questions. He decided to think of it tomorrow. Owen then looked around and wondered how the house looked like.
"Now that I think about it i haven't really looked around the house" Owen did not look around the house yesterday because the house looked like a rat den. Owen took a look around. He saw a modern kitchen right to the living room. It was futuristic in a way looking white as the other rooms and had black marmor floor. The kitchen equipment was very nice looking and was black.
Owen then went to the stairs and noticed a door on the side. He opened it to be revealing it to be stairs downstairs. Owen had found his cellar.
He wondered if his benefactor had been down here and so he went down.
Owen came down there looking around and it was looking like a cellar you find anywhere. Stone walls all around,small windows up in the wall ,housing supports in the basement and of course spider webs. But one detail catches Owen's attention. A big whiteboard with a note on it. Owen went closer towards it and read the message.
"Hello. You may be wondering who I am or why I am doing this at all. It doesn't matter. What does matter is that mystery you are investigating. I know about the kampfers.I know the answers you are looking for but I will not provide them. This is test I am doing to all of my recruits to see if they are something I will deal with. Solve this Mystery and you are in"
Owen was suprised. Someone other than him knew about kampfers. Owen wondered if that person was trustworthy. He may have repaired the house but his reason did not stand in the note. Owen decided that has to be done later since the benefactor had left not a single clue. He had to solve the mystery of kampfers before that person would reveal themselves.
Owen had a single objective. Talk to Sakura. Owen would have to man up and dare to be set in the spotlight. He would have to prepare for this challenge. Owen looked at one of the cellar windows. It was dark. " I would have to think of this tomorrow He went up the stairs up and up to the little bathroom. He would be ready for this he just had too.
"Sigh". It was noon at Seitetsu and Owen was cleaning the library with a broom. It was a lot of splinters all around the room and some of the shelves was cut into pieces.
You might be wondering how Owen got stuck into this mess. Well to make a long story short one of the library's sections was destroyed. No eyewitnesses saw what happened and rumors started to go around who would have done it.
There was bullets holes nearby but could not be traced to a gun. It was almost like it didn't existed.
like no gun existed at all. And how Owen got into this? He was covering Matt's ass. You see Matt is a part time librarian. Weird considering that he only cares about girls. But he uses it as a cover to be able to get in the female side to get books back and to maybe look at the girls.
The guys at this school would do anything to get into the female side even if it meant doing extra work at school. Owen regretted taking this job on. But he felt like he could not refuse since Matt came crying and begging for Owen to cover for him. Owen was angry. " I swear I will get that no good lazy jackass".
"Right now I could maybe try to figure out that benefactor or even try to find kampfers!" Owen's anger made him hit the broom in the floor.
Owen looked out of the windows the sun was setting and he was soon done for the day. Owen laid his broom into the wall and walked out of the library with many bags. He could only think of Sakura. "Why didn't I take a chance?" Owen had thought about it all day of why he didn't try to talk to her. " I did not have a chance to talk to her private." He knew if someone else knew about kampfers something unwanted will happen. No one else must know about kampfers.
Owen was halfway to the entrance but then he heard a faint sound of two gun shots. Owen quickly turned around. "What was that?" "It came from the female side". He knew it must be kampfers but is the risk to be expelled worth it. Owen then thought of how long he had come. He had no choice but to investigate it. Owen went on to the female side.
Owen was sneaking in the hallways of the female side. The darkness had taken the hallways. He was looking at the hallways. It was more decorated than the male side.
"Looks like Matt wasn't kidding". The hallways were beautiful. The upper half of the wall were white and the lower half was decorated with white and blue squares. It was art.
Owen then shakes his head. "Now is not the time". He went on deeper in the hallways.
Then he heard shots again coming close by. "This is it. Now or never!".
Owen could hear bullets being shot fast, that person was fighting someone.
Owen went closer towards the sound. He could come one step closer to this case or he could meet his end in these hallways. Owen then saw them.
3 girl, 2 of them holding a weapon. One a gun, the other one a set of daggers chained together. He recognized 2 of the girls. The blue haired and redhead. Both was there with another one. Black haired, school uniform and was pretty long. Could it be that it was a 3rd year? Owen knew if he stood in the hallways just watching he would be spotted. He quickly went down crouching. The darkness of the hallways would help but if they came to close he would be seen easily. He needed to sneak inside a classroom, but he had a chance to find out more if he stayed. He had to find out more, he stayed. Owen could see the blades slash against the redhead. Why was she doing this. Was it to buy time?
Owen's face looked puzzled. One of the daggers almost hit the redhead. The attacker looked more skilled, as if she had been training for years. A screaming voice was heard yelling Akane. Owen then saw light in the hallway. It became brighter and brighter and then a giant ball of fire launched at the attacker. This looked like the attacker was done for. To Owen's surprise the attacker cut the fireball into two pieces like it was nothing at all. Owen's face looked horrified. If he stayed he would be in serious danger. Owen noticed a door to his left. "Safety!". He went in quickly but quiet.
"This could be my big chance and I sit in here waiting for this to be over!" Owen was irritated that he was in no position to find any more clues about them but he had seen the new kampfer. It was only from the back but the hair was gracious and long and black. She was a student at our school since she was wearing the school uniform. He could recognize that person in a split second. And so was that name Akane. He could track that person down. But more could be found. Suddenly the sprinklers came on. The water fell down like rain on Owen. His hair went straight down in front of his face. Owen could only see his green hair in the way. His clothes became wet and sticky. Then a shot was heard.
Owen quikly took his hair back and tried to listen closely if they were talking. It was no good they were too far out and he was behind walls. He could not hear anything if they even said something. Owen did not want to take a risk and walk away just yet, he had to wait for them to leave. Through he could not hear words he heard footsteps. First only one and so a pair. "No one is gone huh?". That should be good since the more there are yet easier is to find one. Owen was not sure if they had left so he waited. His clothes was wet and icky to wear, his hair was not in a good state and he could be staring death in the eyes. Yet he waited for an hour. He heard nothing. Owen checked the hallways left and right and then ran for the entrance.
Owen was now sitting in his home at the couch wearing a dark blue jacket and some slack pants. His hair had dried so his hair was slicked high to the right as always. He could not believe how close he could be to discover more but he didn't dare to stand there and watch. Owen was irritated over himself that he could come closer towards one more step towards an identity of a kampfer but he did not dare to stand there and watch. Owen knew that he would be killed and if that happened that means it would have been all for nothing. He didn't like it but the cowards way out was the right way out.
While Owen was trying to calm himself down the doorbell rang. Owen directed his attention to the door It was pretty late so he wondered who would come now. Owen started going towards the door. He was at door and opened it. No one was there. He saw down. "A Package?" Owen picked it up. The package was round and was about 10 centimeters long and wide. He closed the door and looked at the package. "Who could it be from?". The benefactor? or someone else.
Owen looked at the package. No mail address or a word written in front.
Owen shaked the package. There was something inside.
Owen opened the package and dumped it on the floor.
The contents was a black bracelet.
"A...a bracelet!?"
Owen knew perfectly well what that bracelet would do.
Owen was petrified of fear. "Why why here?"
He did not dare touch it or it could maybe end up on his wrist.
Owen was a little panicked of how a bracelet would end up here of all places. But he had to keep his head cool.
Since it was black maybe it was not active. Owen was completely clueless about who could have sent it.
Nothing. "Nothing... absolutely NOTHING"
Owen was tired of thinking and started to act.
He grabbed the bracelet and held it in his hand.
Nothing happened.
He was relieved that the bracelet didn't do something unexpected.
Now what was he going to do with this thing. Hide it? Hiding was the smartest he could do since it would maybe be useful later. But maybe he should remove it. It still was a kampfer bracelet so Owen did not completely trust it, but if someone would pick it if he threw it away a new kampfer could be born. He thought this through. A new kampfer would be troublesome. Owen did not want another so he decided he keep it.
Owen looked out at one of the windows It was looking very dark outside.
He had to be ready for tomorrow maybe he figure out who one of the kampfers are. Owen had to do be ready even if he had to wake up 6 in the morning. He started walking upstairs. He held the bracelet tightly.
He thought that of all that has happened this day.
Owen went on to his bedroom.
He looked at the room. The room was not very big. It was formed as a rectangle. The only things that was in there was his bed, a wardrobe and some shelves over his bed. His bag filled with his clothes laid in front of the bed. Owen changed into his pajamas . It was only some black slacks and a blue t-shirt.
Owen went and laid down on his bed and thought about the day.
The questions was filling his head. Who is the benefactor, why do kampfers exists or who is doing all this?
It was questions that had to be answered in the future.
He held the black bracelet in front of his face. "Why did i get this?".
Those bracelets can be what defines a kampfer. It was only a theory but it was as close Owen could come to find new kampfers. A bracelet says who is and isn't a kampfer.
Questions is the only thing Owen had. Questions with no answers just waiting to be answered. Owen was still thinking.
Owen started to feel sleepy. "Tomorrow"
