Chapter 6

We had training with the other students. Renji joined in on it too. It was mostly running and the combat course. We were able to use firing weapons for accuracy training. There was also a paintball course.

"Ichi and Renji your on my team. You too Eria." I smiled.

"You need two more players Enro." Levi smiled.

"I guess I could use you Cross." I smiled.

"Who else should we ask?" Ichi looked at me.

"I could ask Kurosaki but I would rather challenge him to a match." I said. I saw Kirito in the distance. "Hey Kirito!" I run up to him.

"Oh hey Z." Kirito smiled.

"Hey do you want to join my paintball team? I need one more player." I asked him.

"Ugh... Sure. I'll join." Kirito smiled.

"Thanks!" I grabbed his hand and took him back to the others.

"Hey Kirito." Ichi smiled.

"Alright let's get suited up." I said.

"Hey Enro!" Ichigo came our way.

"Ya." Ichi, Renji, and I said at the same time.

"I challenge you to a match." Ichigo pointed at Ichi.

"Sure i accept." I said. "First team member to get to the opposite side wins."

"Your on!" Ichigo said and left for his team. We dressed in the paintball gear.

"Here's the plan. We will be out in the front lines. Kirito I want you to sneak yourself around to the other side. Once there fire as many opponents you can and cross their line. You will be our secret weapon okay." I smiled at him.

"Y-ya." Kirito nodded. We got into the arena and loaded our paintball guns.

"Alright guys remember the plan!" I said.

"Yes sir!" They saluted.

"Now let's go kick some Kurosaki butt." We rushed into the field.

"Whoa!" I barely dodge a paint ball. "Come on Kurosaki you gotta do better than that!" I jump out of hiding and fired. I managed to hit someone. I noticed a paintball coming my way.

"Z!" Ichi took the shot.

"Ichi!" I held him in my arms. "You didn't have to do that Ichi." I smiled at him.

"I couldn't let my Z get hit now can I." Ichi smiled.

"Get up you two!" Renji covered us. I helped Ichi up and we hid behind a wall. I noticed Kirito making his way to the back.

"Come on guys!" I jumped over the wall and began firing. I managed to take down two players.

"You're wide open Enro!" Ichigo began firing at me.

"Whoa!" I drop to the floor. My leg began to hurt. He got me.

"Argh!" Ichigo fell. Kirito was behind.

"Good job Kirito!" I cheered. "Go! Cross their line!"

"Ya." Kirito ran to the line. He crossed and we won.

"Alright Kirito!" Levi gave him a high five.

"Good game Enro." Ichigo handed me his hand.

"Thanks." I grabbed it and stood up. "Ow." My leg began to hurt. "Looks like you got my leg Kurosaki."

"Seems like it." Ichigo said. "Nice plan with the kid." He looked at Kirito getting cheers.

"Ya. He's my friend and I will do anything to make sure he's noticed." I smiled.

"I missed judge you Enro." Ichigo said and went to congratulate Kirito. We finished training and went back to our room.

"Come on Z get dressed or we'll be late." Ichi was already finished dressed for dinner.

"Ya." I nodded and got ready as well. We went to the hall and got our food.

"Z! Ichi!" Kirito waved us over to a table.

"Hey Kirito." I smiled and sat beside him.

"Who's that?" Kirito looked at Renji.

"That's our little brother Renji. We are triplets." Ichi smiled and sat across from us.

"Hey." Renji sat next to Ichi.

"That's so cool! I wish I had a sibling." Kirito looked at his tray.

"I'm guessing your an only child." I looked at him.

"Ya. My mom passed away and my father won't remarry." Kirito said.

"Hey Kirito wanna become adopted by us?" I looked at him.

"What do you mean?" Kirito asked.

"He means if you want to become our step brother." Renji answered.

"Ya." I nodded. "Maybe we can arrange it so we can share a room. It gets quite lonely just me and Ichi."

"Z are you sure that's a good thing?" Renji looked at me.

"Ya. I'm positively sure. Wadya say Kirito?" I smiled at him.

"I would really like that!" Kirito smiled.

"It's settled!" Ichi said. "Kirito Akron you are now our brother!"

"Is he going to dye his hair to make it look like yours?" Ichigo sat down beside me.

"Hey don't you have friends you sit with during meals?" I looked at him.

"Come on Enro we are friends now right?" Levi tried to squeeze in between Ichigo and I.

"Butt off Cross!" Ichigo pushes him back.

"Kirito let's move next to Ichi." I whispered to him.

"Ya." He nodded. We get up and sit on the opposite side next to Ichi.

"Just sit down you two." Dekai sat across from us.

"Who said you're going to sit with us!?" Ichigo and Levi looked at Dekai. Dekai gave them an evil look and they both immediately sat down.

"Why are you guys sitting at our table?" I asked them.

"You are my partner." Dekai answered.

"I consider us friends." Levi smiled. Everyone looked at Ichigo.

"I'm going to learn all your moves and beat you." Ichigo said.

"Keeping your enemies close I see." Yukio sat down next to Ichigo and Rin sat down next to Kirito.

"Ah! What are you two doing here?" Ichi looked at them.

"We heard there was another Enro in the academy." Yukio began.

"So we came to see who it was." Rin finished.

"How do you tell each other apart? I'm sure it can be quite confusing." Yukio looked at us.

"It's a triplet thing." We said.

"You three almost have the same voice too." Rin added. "But you can hear the difference."

"You have a sister too, right?" Yukio looked directly at me.

"Yes. Her name is Iris." Renji answered him. Slowly it dawned on me. Yukio had visited our dads estate a few years back and dad actually introduced me and Ichi to him. Does he remember? I began to get an unsettling feeling.

"Z are you alright?" Kirito looked at me.

"Ya. I'm fine thank you." I said and began eating my food. It was quite bitter. For some odd reason I feel like I will be discovered. We finished dinner and Yukio and Rin left.

"Come on Z it's relaxing time. Let's go back to our room." Ichi grabbed my hand.

"Ya." I nodded. "Come on Kirito." I grabbed his hand and we walked to our room. Levi, Dekai, and Ichigo came too.

"Wow! It's huge!" Kirito said as we entered.

"Ya." Ichi said and flopped on the bed.

"All we need now is a tv and some video games." Levi said.

"Ya. Hey Ichi didn't we bring some board games?" I looked at Ichi.

"Oh ya! We did." Ichi went to his pack. "We have monopoly and scrabble."

"Let's play monopoly." Renji said.

"Alright." I said and moved Ichi's bed to the center of the rooms we set up the game and began to play.

"I'll buy boardwalk!" Ichigo said and gave the money to Ichi.

"Awe! Come on Kurosaki." I said. I had already bought Park Place. The alarm for bed time rang.

"I guess we'll call it a night." Levi said.

"We'll finish the game tomorrow." Renji said.

"Ya." I sighed. "Hey Kirito do you want me to walk you back to your room?" I asked him.

"I'll be fine." Kirito smiled.

"Come on. I don't want my brother getting lost." I smiled. "I'll be back Ichi and Renji." I left with Kirito.

"Thank you Z but you didn't have to walk me." Kirito looked away.

"It's alright. I don't mind." I smiled. "Ichi is gonna ask the headmaster to see if you can move to our room." We stopped in front of a door.

"Thank you Z." Kirito bowed.

"Your welcome." I smiled and hugged him. "Good night. We'll see you tomorrow."

"Good night Z!" Kirito smiled and went into his room. I walked back to my room and ran into someone.
