I walked over the gang and stood, shrugging. "Ya' know, if you were curious, you could've just asked."

"Really?" Kazu piped.

"Nope. You'll need to jump of the roof before I tell you anything." I said matter-of-factly. When I opened my eyes to a warrior cry, I saw Ikki jumping off the roof. I immediately sweat dropped. "Hint the sarcasm in my voice, boys. I wasn't commanding you to freaking jump off the roof."

I sat down where Ringo and Emily scooted away for me. I thanked them and stared at the team. "So before any other crap happens, I'm Tsukishiro Mikiko. You can call me Miki but I prefer you call me Aoi when I AT."

"I'm Ringo. This is Emily and Yayoi. Then there's the rest of the team-"

"Oh, I know them already. Ikki, Kazu, Onigiri, Buccha and Agito. Kogarasumaru, right?"

Ikki's nose grew. "Ha-ha, so you have heard of ore-sama!"

"I don't care much but my brother does." I shrugged.

Kazu hung his head, above his head hung a cloud of emo-disbelief. A vein appeared on my head. "Oi, bean lamp post!"

He looked up. "What!? Bean lamp post!?"

With my swift wrist movements, I threw a piece of my sushi into his mouth. "Whaddya looking down for!?"

"Wha-?" His words came out muffled before he began choking on the sushi. I scoffed.

"No one should be depressed in the presence of ore-sama!"

Everyone sweat-dropped. She speaks like Ikki…

"… Is it honestly that hard to believe I've gotten that far?"

He swallowed the sushi and nodded. I could've thrown a tantrum but I held it all in.

"You've got questions, don't you?"

He nodded again. "Ask away."

"So... is this really you?" He pointed at the picture on his laptop. It was Aoi, doing a grind on a stair railing.

"Is this," I pulled out my AT hat (A sky-blue beret) pinned full of foreign emblems of teams I can't remember, "Enough proof?"

They stared at the hat in awe like it was some piece of jewelry I stole. Yeah right. "You... got those... from parts wars?" Kazu stuttered.

"Hey, I'm from Midnight Blues. You should know I have these." I shrugged again, stuffing the hat back into my bag.

"But... but... You just started AT-ing for a few months!"

"News flash. I have been AT-ing since age 6. I just moved here from America and started a team."

"...but..."

"Yeah, they didn't really tell you much, did they? Well, you can't expect them to tell you lies, right?"

Ikki opened his mouth to ask another question but was interrupted by a blasting chorus.

We lost sights of things that were clear before

And now we're drowning in a sea of memories

But why? Why do I act like I've never made those--~

"Excuse me for a sec…" I stood up and walked to a farther corner, answering a call.

"Hello, Miki's cell."

"Oh, Mikiko, remember me, dear cousin?"

I froze. "How in bloody fuck did you get my number?" I asked voice dark and venomous.

"I can work magic!"

"Yeah, right. Mmhmm. So what do you want?"

"Fight with them. Fight alongside Kogarasumaru against Behemoth."

"Uh, okay… first off, I just met the team. Two, why the hell should I even listen to you? And third… how do you know I know them? Are you turning from annoying to stalker now?"

"You will compete with them. And I never changed, I never was annoying."

"So… you're saying you've been a stalker all this time?" I peeled the phone away from my ear.

"Hell no!!"

"Yeah, right. Mmhmm."

"Che! Just fight with them, I'll be waiting."

"Oh, come on. 1 year after leaving and I have to face the wrath of that dreaded shit you call perfume!?"

"You'll face my wrath, foolish cousin. And my perfume is state of the art, the best of—

BEEP

I looked at my phone that blacked out. "Suman, I forgot to charge it again." I pocketed the device and looked over my shoulder, at the team I had just met and barely knew.

And then I sighed. Using my special inheritance, I took one last glace before disappearing without a sound. Down the stairs, zooming past every possible matter until I strapped on my ATs at my locker and out of the school.

No one noticed.

No one should; no one would.

It was still in the middle of the day, but something was itching me.

My cousin senses were tingling.

Okay... so this is chapter 4..........
