Madoka loved everything about her new school, it wasn't a prison like the other one. Here it was different; she had freedom and most importantly, she had her brother back. Yuki and her had most of their classes together, except that when she had mechanics, Her brother had gym.

Right now they were both in the Astronomy class, this was her brother's favorite class and despite that Madoka wasn't a big fan of astronomy; she found it interesting enough to take the class.

"So, this is it"-Yuki said as he sat on his desk

"Yup"-she said as she sat beside him, just barely containing her excitement.

Just as soon as the bell rang, the teacher stepped forward looking at his new student.

"Today we have a new student, Miss Madoka Amano"- he said as almost everyone in the class looked at her-"Welcome Miss Amano, I hope you have a good time in this school, please stand up and present yourself"-

Madoka did as he told, she was a little bit blushed, and looked nervously at her twin. He just gave her a kind smile, almost as if he was telling her that she had nothing to be embarrassed of.

"Um... hi"-she said trying to look confident-"My name is Madoka Amano and... I just move here a few weeks ago"-

"Tell us about yourself"-the teacher said with a nice smile-"Where did you used to live?"-he asked

"I used to live in Kyoto with my father"-she answered awkwardly-"But now I am living here with my grandfather and my twin brother, Yuki"- Madoka said slightly signaling her brother, who was sitting right beside her.

The teacher, and some students, got surprised by that statement.

"Wait, Mr. Mizusawa is your twin brother?"-he asked as both nodded at the same time-"How come you two have different last names?"-

"Well..."- Madoka hesitated and looked at Yuki before answering, he seemed to have a troubled expression as well-"After something bad happened, our family kind of ended up on really bad terms; Yuki stayed with our grandfather, and I ended up living with my dad, and he... he passed away in a car accident last month..."-

The teacher seemed to have a expression full of guilt.

"Well... I am really sorry for your loss"-he said sincerely-"And I really hope for the best, for both of you, you can sit now"-

"Thanks sir"-Madoka said as she sat on her desk, she now seemed a little bit sad.

She could feel the glances, people were looking at her, people were looking at her twin brother. Madoka could not listen to anything of what the teacher was saying, she just stayed there; looking down, breathing heavily, and hands shaking.

Yuki was almost as bad as her, but as soon as he noticed her state, he grabbed her hand and looked at her. Madoka tranquilized and breathed, she was trying to not make a scene, but some students were already looking at them; some seemed concerned, some were creeped out by the twins' actions.

As soon as she calmed down, both were almost like nothing happened, and paid attention to the class. Yuki didn't even needed to pay attention, he knew so much about astronomy that he barely needed to listen to the teacher to know what he was talking about.

After that, Madoka tried to be as normal as possible when the teachers asked her about why she ended up living in Metal City. It was going well so far, it was a little bit hard in her mechanics class because she didn't have Yuki to calm her down if something went wrong.


The rest of the day went as smoothly as possible. Madoka liked her classes, her classmates and teachers were nice, she didn't really had any new friends, she actually didn't talk to anyone if it wasn't to answer a question. It wasn't that bad. Right now she was on her locker, waiting for her brother. They had their last class, History, together.

"Not bad for my first day, I guess"-she mumbled as she put her books inside the locker

Madoka turned around as she felt that her brother was coming, but what she saw almost took her breath away.

"What happened to you?"-asked the girl immediately noticing a nasty bruise under Yuki's eye.

The older twin avoided her glance and covered the bruise with his right hand.

"N-nothing"-he answered nervously-"Just walked into a door"-

"That's bullshit"-

Yuki almost jumped in surprise and looked at her. His sister cursing wasn't the only thing that surprised, He could see fire in her blue eyes, he was honestly scared; Madoka looked like she could kill somebody right here, right now.

Trying to avoid this, he started walking to his class. Yuki didn't looked back, but he could hear Madoka slamming her locker's door and walking, in less than five seconds; she was already beside him.

"Tell me, Who did that to you?"-Madoka asked as she put a hand on Yuki's shoulder

"I already told you I fell"-he answered pretending to be annoyed

"No, you told me that you walked into a door"-Madoka looked even more serious right now-"Now tell me, what was it?"-

"I'm fine, okay?! Just stop it already!"-he yelled, that just made her even more angry

Madoka understood that she was pushing him, so she her tried to calm down.

"Yuki you are worrying me, seriously; Who hit you?"-asked the younger twin with a soft voice

"I told you to drop it, I'm fine"-he insisted as they walked into class

"I won't drop it, Do you want me to just stand there doing nothing while you are being treated like a punch bag?"-she asked as they both sat on their desks-"I don't want my twin brother to get hurt because I didn't do anything to avoid it"-

"I'm twelve minutes older than you, and you know it... look, just let me handle it"-Yuki begged trying to end this subject-"I assure you, it's nothing serious"-

The brunette was going to contradict him, but the class already had begun, and the teacher was calling her to present herself in front of the class.

"We are not done talking about this"-the blue-eyed girl whispered to her brother as she stand up

"You are not, I am"-Yuki whispered back


This was the reason why Yuki considered to not coming back to school ever again. He had almost a month free of torture because of what happened, but now; some guys in the dressing room decided to give him a painful welcome. Yuki could bear it, he could bear it any day, but now; his sister saw the bruise they leave him on his face, he knew his sister could be a little bit over dramatic, but he didn't know that she would be so menacing. The guy could just pray that she won't see all the bruises that he has all over his body, his back, his chest, his tights; even his stomach! God, his sister is surely going to commit murder if she gets to see all those bruises.

When the class ended, Yuki prepared himself mentally. Madoka for sure was going to keep going with the subject, he wasn't going to say anything. No matter what she will do, he won't crack up.

The both of them were walking outside the classroom; Madoka hadn't yet said a word, they kept walking; she was silent. He looked at her, she looked normal. Great, was she giving him the silent treatment?

"So... Grampa won't come back from work until the night, want to get pizza after school?"-Yuki asked trying to smile

"Nah, it's fine; I'll make lunch"-Madoka answered, but she wasn't even looking at him-"You guys shouldn't be eating take outs so often, It's bad for you"-

"Well... thanks"-said the older twin-"I didn't knew you cooked"-

"I had to do it, since... you know, dad wasn't around too much"-answered the blue-eyed girl-"Good thing he never got rid of those old books in the kitchen... so, about what happened..."-

There it is...

"Madoka, I told you that I won't-"

"Let me finish"-interrupted the girl-"I'm sorry if I was pushing you, I didn't mean it. But I can't stand my brother getting hurt because I wasn't able to protect him"-

"I don't need-"

"So, I won't be trying to get any answers out of your throat"-said the brunette with a really serious tone-"But if I see anyone abusing you, I will interfere; I know that you don't want to speak because you don't want any trouble"-

"How do you even-"

"I'm your twin sister, Yuki; that already grants me the ability to know you better than anyone else"-Madoka said looking at him directly in his eyes-"You know... in my other school no one was made of sugar, I wasn't either; I had to deal with bullies too"-

"I didn't knew that"-

"I didn't wanted you to know"-

"So... you are not telling grampa?"- he asked hesitantly

"No, even though I should"-she answered opening the front door for both of them-"Now let's go and do something about your face"-

Yuki didn't even knew if he should feel glad, angry or terrified.


The day went pretty well after that, Madoka used her make up to cover Yuki's bruise. After he noticed her being a little bit apprehensive because of her having to be quiet about his situation, he decided that he should make it up for her somehow.

That night, he decided to make a little trip to the comic book store, and to the bakery. Yuki didn't know too much about comic books, but he knew a little bit of her recent favorites; The Flashpoint Saga, some of the Loki: Agent of Asgard issues, and a big box full of strawberry cupcakes would be a good reward for trying to compensate her (forced) understanding.

"Maybe I can convince her to not interfere with a movie marathon"-the blue-eyed guy thought out loud

"Meow, you aren't nearly as impressive as the other ones..."-

Yuki stopped when he heard that voice, oddly enough; there wasn't anybody on the street. He got a little bit scared and started walking faster.

"Just go home"-he said to himself

Just a few streets more...

"Sweetie, I don't know about you, but I don't like to be ignored"-

Screw it! Just run!

The moment Yuki tried to run, he felt that he was being pulled by the collar of his shirt. He tried to run, but whoever was grabbing him was really strong. He was lucky that he didn't let go of the bag that contained the stuff for his sister.

"P-please, let me go!"-Yuki yelled as he was being crashed into the wall of a dark alley-"I swear I don't have anything!"-

His assaulter was holding him from his tie, and pressing him against the probably dirty wall.

"I don't want anything, I just want to have a word"-

The hell?! It was a girl! The person who was holding him so tight against his will was a girl! He really needed to start doing exercise...

"I... I swear I don't know anything! I mhp!"-he felt a hand directly pressing onto his mouth, obviously telling him to shut

"Darling, the only thing I want to know is if you saw something strange a few days ago"-asked the girl in a surprisingly sweet tone

Yuki then reacted, Was she referring to what happened with the comet? So someone else did saw it! He knew he was right!

The guy slowly opened his eyes and directly looked at the girl, she was... dressed up in a weird suit. It a one piece white suit, she seemed to have a white mask and white ears that went with it, she also had a long white scarf tied on her waist that was floating with the wind. He tried to not look at it, it was kind of hypnotizing.

They both looked directly in each others eyes, hers were a soft tone of green; almost like jade. She also seemed to be interested in that weird tone of electric blue that were his eyes. The girl quietly released the boy's mouth and let him talk.

"I... don't really know what you are talking about"-Yuki lied hesitantly

"Meow! You are a bad liar!"-she laugh-"Let me be more specific, did you saw a weird, shiny object coming from the sky?"-

"I... well, I like astronomy, so I went to check the comet..."-he admitted trying to look as natural as possible-"Ma'am I don't really know where you are going this"-

"Oh! you little charmer!"-she said while giggling-"Did you saw it when it shattered?"-

"I... m-may have"-he answered

"Were you alone?"-she asked

Okay, he didn't know what was happening and sure he was really scared; but he was definitely not going to sell his sister out.

"Y-yes... I sneaked out of my house and went to the beach just to check on the comet"-he tried to sound convincing-"I-is just that I am not allowed to go there and I couldn't resist"-

"Okay, fine"-she said convinced-"You are coming with me, little kitten"-she said releasing his neck, and grabbing him by his waist and arm

"Wait what?!"-he yelped as she just lifted him

Now this stranger was carrying Yuki in bridal style. He was trying to get off, but the boy was either too light or this girl was too strong.

Yuki couldn't, believe it! With one jump, the strange girl just somehow reached the ceiling of the building he was being pressed on.

"Wait until that grumpy dumb cat know that I found one of them!"-the girl yelled happy while the boy he was carrying was dying of terror-"Don't be scared, little pup; You'll be completely fine!"-

"Ma'am! I beg you to please let me go!"-Yuki yelled as she jumped again with him in her arms-"I won't tell anyone what I saw! I swear!"-

"What you saw?"-she asked teasingly

"Yes! Yes! I saw the comet, I saw when it shattered! But I fell unconscious when one of the pieces landed on the beach! I don't know if it still there but-!"

"Oh! you little puppy! Is not there anymore!"-she said while stopping on the roof of another building

"W-what do you mean?.."-he asked

The girl smiled and started to pass her finger on top of his chest.

"What I mean, little puppy"-she said with a smile-"Is that the fragment of star is right here"-said the girl while she laid a finger on Yuki's chest

This whole situation lost all little remaining sense it had.
