Partners
"This is Tsubasa Andou. He will be your partner in your first year here in Alice Academy."
The nine-year-old Natsume Hyuuga looked up at the dark-haired man in front of him, glaring at the star tattoo below his left eye. "I don't need a partner," he muttered grimly once they were alone. Without further ado, he turned on his heel to take his leave, unsure why anyone would think that he couldn't manage to survive this school on his own.

He was barely five steps away from the boy called Tsubasa when he felt his entire body go rigid, as if paralyzed by an invisible force. The next thing he realized was the other student walking up to him with a lazy grin.
"Sorry, Natsume," the master of the shadows said, his feet holding the boy's shadow in place, "but we are partners." He pinched the younger man's cheeks, much to the flame caster's chagrin.
"Let's get along well, shall we?"
end.
