Just another school day today, the same three people, meeting us at the same place, then going to a classroom where three more familiar faces waited for us. The day passes by with a lecture about whatever it is that we're learning. Same old same old...I guess I could spice up the day a little by telling everyone that Shiroi Akuma the evil middle aged woman is back in town and we're working together. I wonder how everyone would react? How would I go about saying it? ' Oh by the way, you know that one chick dressed in white that terrorized Okinomiya months ago? Well, our friends now. ' Nah, that wont work. Oh well, I'll keep it a secret for now. Hopefully, no one finds out otherwise I'm in for some troblue.
As if on cue, Shiroi slams the door open causeing everyone to focus their attention on her. Naturally, every single person in the room jumps up and runs to the back of the classroom except the teacher, she quickly grabbed her phone and started dialing the police I'm assuming. I could hear kids yelling ' Get her _!' ' I thought _ beat her? ' ' Help! ' ' Why is he just sitting there!? '. Shiroi walks up to my desk with a serious look on her face.
" There's a problem. " As vague as ever,
" Geez, couldn't it wait you freaked everyone out..."
" No, we need to go now! "
" Fine fine. I'm coming." I got up from my desk but before I could take a step a small hand stopped me, I turned to find Rika holding me in place.
" _ what's going on? " she said with a confused expression frozen on her face,
" Oh...uh...well, Shiroi isn't a bad guy anymore she's actually helping gain more power. "
" And she's...trustworthy. "
Shiroi I guess got offened at this, " Dont talk as if I'm not here. Weither or not I should be trusted or not is not important. "
" You cant blame them. I mean, you did hire mercs that were shooting at them months ago. "
" And kidnapping my parents! " Keiichi angerly yelled,
" And killed Yoshimi! You didn't forget about that did you? " Mion was now really angry,
I stayed silented, of course I haven't forgotten. It's that alone is the reason I cant trust Shiroi. She did a lot of horrible things to not only me but to everyone. That day she held the city hostage, a lot of people died that day. Most of the kids in this very room lost their families. Some lost a parent or a sibling, some dont even have a family to go to.
" You cant seriously think she's helping you after everything that happened? "
" But she gave me this thingie that gave me a new power. "
" Even so how do you know, it didn't have a bug or a virus that eats your insides or something? I mean that's what I would've done." Satoko said from behind the crowd,
" Look...everyone, you know me. If for whatever reason she does betray I'll show her what for." I tried resurring my fellow classmates but their silence says that not too sure. But one quiet voice rang out from the group, " I believe in you _... " Hanyuu shyly piped up
" I know you would never do anything to hurt us. You've done nothing but good ever since we found you."
" Thank you Hanyuu. " I gave her a slight smile,
Everyone else however didn't say anything. Some were looking at something unrelated others just stared at Shiroi fearing the worst.
I sighed, " Come on let me see the problem you were talking about. "
Without another word Shiroi and I left the classroom. Even in the hallway I could feel their stares. There was a certain kind of dread filling the air, be it fear or anger. I'm not sure if I explained my partnership with Shiroi that well back there. I'm sure there's a few people that are unsure if they can trust me or not. But who knows, maybe Shiroi will turn out to be a bigger hero than me and people will forget all about this. But first thing is first...gotta check out this ' problem '
Shiroi dragged all the way outside Hinamizawa. We're walking through the forest and someways ahead I could see a road and a white van.
" See it?" She asked,
" That van?" I pointed towards the parked van,
" Yes. "
" What about it?"
" Get a closer look."
I get a little closer to the van but far enough where I can remain undetected. There were guys in gas masks. They also wore a black uniform with body armor, with at least two weapons holstered and greandes strapped to a belt. Some of these guys were pulling some heavy weaponary out of some metal crates. I even got a better look inside the van, there were monitors and people working on them in causal clothes. I went back to Shiroi.
" Who those guys and why are they so well armed? "
" They're from Tokyo. "
" Tokyo? That secret branch in the japanese government?"
" Yes, they're here in Hinamizawa for you."
" They're well armed and all but for a secret branch there's not very many of them. "
" There is actually they have bases set up all around Hinamizawa. "
" Hmm, what's the plan? "
" Just keep a low profile in Hinamizawa do not use your powers for any reason. They have ways to track you. "
" That should be easy enough. I live in Okinomiya and I haven't used my powers at all ever since you left the picture. "
" Another thing... " Shiroi turned her whole body towards me, " In the event Tokyo does hold Hinamizawa hostage do NOT reveal yourself to them. "
" Well...I cant just let them have their way with my people like that. Besides, these guys are wearing body armor which is metal. I can fry all of them in a second if I wanted to. "
" You have no idea who your dealing with here! These people have ways to fight both me and you. They are NOT a petty biker gang! They are an army that specialize in dealing with people like you and me! "
" ...Okay...Okay." I sighed, " I get, do NOT fight any gas masked bastards pointing a gun at anybody. "
For a few minutes there was silence. Shiroi looked over at the Tokyo forces, but they were still setting up base camp from all the they were unloading. After a while Shiroi spoke up again.
" We should go. We dont want to be spotted in a place like this. " Shiroi started walking away,
" Right behind you. " I followed her back towards Hinamizawa,
Things were starting to get eventful here again. With Shiroi training me to become more powerful to stop an impendding disaster and Tokyo here ready to invade Hinamizawa for me acorrding to Shiroi. What else could possibly happen?
