Next Day: Homeroom
I was laying my head on my desk when I felt someone poke me. I lifted my head and looked around. My eyes lit on Kyoko who had an apprehensive look on her face.
"Uh, are you all right Losi?" Kyoko asked.
"Yes, I'm fine. Just a bit tired."
"Why're you tired Losi?" Kaname asked.
"I hacked into Mithril's base last night. I was trying to see who got the mission to guard us."
"Who was it?"
"Sergeant Sosuke Sagara, Sergeant Melissa Moa, and Sergeant Kurz Weber."
"Okay."
"Those three? Why them?"
"What do you mean 'Why them'?"
"It's You-Know-Who and two of my best friends."
"Oh, okay."
"Shh. Class is starting."
The teacher walks into the classroom.
"Students, today we have a new student. Come in!"
Sosuke rambles out the introduction and the teacher then asks.
"Miss Chidori, where are you?" Teacher asks. "Raise your hand please."
"Here ma'am." Kaname says as she raises her hand.
"Mr. Sagara, please sit next to Miss Chidori."
"Yes ma'am. I will." Sosuke says as he walks to the back of the room.
"Nice to meet you Sosuke." Kyoko says cheerfully.
"Nice to meet you, Ma'am." Sosuke says stoically.
I couldn't help it. I started laughing.
"Is something funny Miss?" he asked all serious.
I just started laughing harder. I couldn't stop. It was way too funny.
Once I caught my breath I said. "Please, don't talk that around me. My older brother's exactly like you. He goes commando all the time. I miss him." I said wistfully.
"Exactly how long has it been since you've seen your brother Losi?" Kaname asked me speculatively. "I've never heard you talk about him before."
"Sorry Ame. Not all of my memories with him are happy." I told heard truthfully. "I haven't seen him in about four years or so."
"Oh! I almost forgot! Losi, how would you like to have a sleepover at my place with me and Kyoko?" Kaname asked. "Isn't today your birthday?"
"Oh. I forgot about that. I guess I'll come. I have nothing better to do today." I said with a bored expression. "I'm 16 today. I don't want a cake, but if you want you can get me a gift."
"It's your birthday?" Sosuke asks curiously.
"Yeah. What's it to you?" I ask rudely.
"It's my birthday too." Sosuke asks. "What a coincidence."
"Yeah. A coincidence." Kyoko says. "Losi isn't he your" -mmph- Kaname covered her mouth in the nick of time.
I silently thanked her and said. "Sorry about Kyoko. She's on a sugar high today."
"All right, Ma'am. If you say so." Sosuke said.
My own brother calling me Ma'am. I've gotta be trippin' or something.
I start laughing again. This is the funniest day of my life.
"Are you all right Miss?" Sosuke asks.
"You -giggle- called me -chuckle- Ma'am." I was able to get out before I started laughing harder.
"I see no reason for you to be laughing." Sosuke said seriously. "A terrorist could try and kidnap you."
"Same old Sosuke, always so serious." I sighed. "At least you're still good for a laugh."
"I never got your name. What is it?" He asked.
"You should know Mr. Sergeant Sosuke Sagara." I said cockily.
"You're the one who hacked the system last night." He said exasperatedly. "The only person who ever did that was…"
"Was who Mr. Sagara?" I asked. I already knew the answer.
"Someone who was important to me." He said.
"Like what. A girlfriend or something like that?" I asked.
"My sister." He said sadly.
"You seem to miss her greatly." I said. "Do you want to talk about it?"
"No. That's top-secret information." He said. "I cannot disclose any more."
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to pry." I said sincerely. "I just thought it'd help you."
"It is all right. I am just not ready to talk about it." He said.
"Eh. Today's the day I finally told my best friends a bit my brother, so don't sweat it." I told him nonchalantly. "It'll just take some time to get used to people. Don't worry about it. Just be yourself and you'll be fine. Don't you think so bro?"
"I guess I see what you are talking about."
"The name's Losi. Losi Ameriade." I said as I reached out my hand.
He looked at it kinda weirded out.
"You're supposed to shake it." I said. "I lived in America a few years ago and it's become a habit."
He shook my hand. I then said.
"See you tomorrow. Here's my number if you ever need to talk."
"Thank you Miss Ameriade." He said. "Having someone to talk to may be nice."
"Sheesh, you don't have to talk like a military sergeant around me you know."
"Yes. Ma'am."
"Say hello to Kurz and Lissa for me!" I said as I walked away from school.
"That's weird. I never told her my companions' names." Sosuke says confused.
At Losi Apartment
Ugh! I'm so stupid! I shouldn't have told him that! Now I have to leave school. The doorbell's ringing, I should go get it. I wonder who it is. I won't know unless I check.
I walked over to the door and opened it. Lissa and Kurz were standing outside.
"Hello, who are you?" I asked.
"We're from the police." Lissa said. "We're looking in on a runaway case."
"Why would you come here though?" I asked. "I don't have a clue about a runaway."
"It's a teenager by the name of Losilla Sagara." Kurz says. "Are you sure you don't know anything?"
"Okay, you got me! I'll come quietly." I said jokingly.
"Sheesh Losi! Can't you take a joke?" Lissa asks.
"Nope, you know how I am." I said. "I take everything seriously!"
"What was that?" Kurz asks.
"I guess there's no need to hide it from you guys." I said. "You need to promise me that you won't tell Sagara first."
They looked at each other questionably a moment, then Kurz said.
"We promise." He said potently.
"Okay. You know the runaway you were talking about? That's me." I told them truthfully. "I never did get to say 'Goodbye' in person, so now's as good an opportunity as ever."
"Don't tell us you're leaving again, Losilla." Lissa said. "We've missed you enough in the past 4 years to last a lifetime."
"I'm leaving because he's here." I say as I start to tear up. "I just don't want all the f-ing putdowns in my life again!"
Tears start falling down my face and I quickly try to wipe them away but they keep coming. I've cried enough over the years, I thought I had lost my tears long ago. I feel like I'm falling apart again!
I look at Lissa and Kurz and say.
"I've got a couple extra bedrooms, so you guys can spend the night here if you want." I say as I start to calm down. "I guess I'll see ya'll in tha mornin'. I'm gonna hit tha hay."
"I've got a quick question first." Kurz says curiously.
"All right. Shoot." I commanded.
"Why are you in Japan? I thought you went to America." Kurz asked with puppy-dog eyes.
"You know that doesn't work on me!" I said. I never said where I was going, now did I?"
"She's right you know. It's one of those rare 'don't ask, don't tell' moments." Lissa says straight-forwardly.
"I've got school tomorrow. Good Night!" I said loudly.
When I got to the stairs I turned around and said.
"I'll get ya each a spare key tomorrow after hell is over."
"Gotcha. Night!" Kurz said in a hyper-like voice.
They went into separate bedrooms and I soon heard Kurz snoring. I walked into his room and stuck one of my stuffed animals under
