Well, here is chapter two. first question. do you guys think Shadow is a bit mary-sue ish? if so tell me cause nothing is worse then that, i hate it when that happens, but she always ends up like that in my opinion. tell me if u think she is and i will change her in later chapters, just gotta let me know. (i'll rewrite the entire thing if necessary...)
btw, Akira ain't mine, she belongs to my friend Melon...yeah... short chapter too, just cause well, didnt really have a choice in this case...and for those of u that are reading it for that purpose, it will be a bit longer then i thought until the Noahs show up...tit should be good though, cause i can write them the best i think...
Shadow quickly changed into her gym uniform, Lenalee doing the same. It was interesting to see the tall Lenalee and the overly short Shadow standing next to each other, there was no competition between the two, Lenalee easily won.
Shadow honed in on Akira, who oddly enough was speaking to the boy, who Shadow thought to be named Allen, not that she was actually coherent in that part of the class. The two girls sat down next to the two, Shadow snickering lightly causing Akira to blush crimson.
"CLASS!" someone barked from not to far away, them closing in. It was a woman, probably in her late 30s. She was rather structured for a female, and the entire class quieted as she neared.
"I'm sure everyone has read the bulletin for today, so shall we begin." She pulled out a clip board, writing a few things down, before throwing it into a nearby tree, paper scattering everywhere.
"2 VOLUNTEERS!" She barked, people cowering as the woman took a step forward. That was all Shadow and Akira were waiting for. The two jumped up, strolling up to the teacher, Shadow doing a quick mock bow before the woman.
The teacher sighed, rubbing her temples.
"Anyone BUT Kimiroo and Kawai?" the teacher groaned out, still feeling the agony from the last time the two, mostly Shadow, had been examples, it was always a bad sign when Shadow did something of her own accord, especially in a large crowd.
Silence flooded the room, it laying a thick blanket across the people, some looking at the other, some trying not to snicker.
"Fine…" she grumbled, stepping back, all fierce demeanor gone in a flash. "Lets start with…….."
With almost to much speed, Shadow tacking Akira, the two rolling around for a moment, Akira kicking the girl off of her. Shadow didn't a quick back handspring, landing with inhuman grace. A round of applause echoed, as the teacher pulled out her radio, obviously already calling the office.
Akira lunged this time, though hers was obviously more planned out, as she went for a few punches, sweeping her leg to knock Shadow down.
Instead of falling, Shadow jumped high, playing leapfrog over Akira's shoulders. Akira spun around on her heal, only to receive a fist to the gut, it knocking the wind out of her momentarily. That was all Shadow needed, as Akira was on the ground in a moment, dodging the girl's tennis shoes.
'Damn! She's not this fast!' Akira growled in her head, noticing the wild grin that had plastered itself on the girl's face.
Akira grabbed Shadow's leg this time, flipping her onto the ground, leaping to her feet. She failed to see Shadow reset this time with a back flip, though she curled her body tight, before kicking Akira in mid air, sending her flying into a nearby oak tree.
Silence.
No one said a word. Akira stood shaken, not sure what to think about what had just happened. She had never seen THAT move before, and Shadow wasn't one for learning.
"First time for everything, eh?" Shadow laughed out, falling back, panting slightly. She had felt fine before, now she was exhausted though.
"Don't make it a habit; I'm supposed to be the one saving you!" Akira joked back, though she was (for once) confused.
They walked back to the new kids, who greeted them with questions on their little battle.
"Hierarchy." Shadow mumbled out, looking at her 2 detention slips, along with her in-school suspension, Akira getting off with only a detention.
The two stared at the girls, mostly at Shadow, who seemed quiet used to the detention slips, though she obviously wasn't happy about it.
Gym ended with little to no other troubles, the now quiet friendly group walking back to the school. Akira watched Allen, her brow furrowing as he stopped suddenly.
"You o……?"
"LENALEE AKUMA!" he yelled all of a sudden, Lenalee reacting with blazing speed.
Students had grouped around them in a circle, though still a decent distance away. At first Shadow and Akira were confused, but the metallic groans that rang out around them soon cleared it. They where in trouble.
Lenalee grabbed onto the two, taking off at a sprint, Shadow having to fight to keep up, being the shortest of the two. One of the monsters blocked their path, Shadow screaming as it opened fire, only to have someone fire on it from elsewhere.
"Keep running until you're out of range!" Lenalee yelled, an odd pair of black and green boots appearing as she yelled "Innocence Activate!"
Shadow hesitated, though Akira grabbed her arm, dragging her along, though the two split up as once again, the monsters opened fire on them.
Shadow POV
I ran as fast as my legs could carry me, cursing the fact I had used up most of my energy in the small sparing match Akira and I had had. My eyes widened, as I realized the ground was coming into view, I putting my hands out instinctively to catch myself. I looked up, staring into blank lifeless eyes above me, its weapons all pointed to me.
'Figures……' I groaned, knowing that I was in deep shit now.
Akira POV
My eyes darted to Shadow's form, it shaking slightly, though she probably didn't realize it. I cursed her being a bit of a klutz, before I quickly turned back running to her.
"Move dammit!" I called, though she stayed frozen. I was surprised the monster hadn't killed her yet, as that would have been the obvious thing to do.
Without realizing it, I reached my hand out, gripping something, I didn't know what, but I did. Trance like, I reached to my back, amazed at what came back, 3 green arrows made of energy.
Remembering my archery classes, I quickly strung them, stopping momentarily to take aim, releasing it.
Normal POV
Shadow stared as the beast exploded, Akira leaping to her side, slightly out of breath. She wasn't quiet sure what happened, but all was explained as she spotted the silver bow in her friend's hands.
It was finely crafted and made of metal, layered slightly, a handle with a beautiful midnight blue cross on it, glowing softly.
Lenalee and Allen walked over to the two, staring at Akira, before they both said "found it" at the same time.
"You need to come with us." Lenalee said, smiling warmly at the girl. Allen did the same, Akira once again blushing though this one was hidden much better than the last.
"EH! What about me!" Shadow whined, crossing her arms unhappily. Her hair blew slightly in the wind, pale skin glinting slightly in the sunlight as it appeared from behind a cloud.
Lenalee and Allen looked at each other for a moment, seeming to speak without words. Shadow uncrossed her arms, looking over to Akira, as if for assistance.
"Don't worry, your coming too….." Akira said, looking to the other two as if to say "make it happen".
They sighed, before nodding, walking back towards the school, the other two following suit. Nothing was heard for once, even Shadow was silent.
