I let out an airy sigh as I exited the room. My head was still spinning for earlier. But I need to get my head in the game. Just like Yuri said, this was going to be the biggest battle we've ever had. If we wanted to win, we'd have to all come together. Another sigh escaped my lips as I leaned against the wall right outside the door, my head falling limply against it.
"This battle," I say softly, closing my eyes, just trying to imagine all the chaos that was about to take place, when I heard a soft voice come from next to me.
"It's gonna be pretty bad, huh?" They asked. I opened my eyes to find innocent green eyes staring back, a mixed expression on his face.
"Oh, Hey Ooyama." I replied, smiling a little at the younger boy. "Yeah, This is going to be our fiercest fight. Even worse than our fights with Ang- I mean Kanade." It had been a little strange getting used to referring to Kanade by her actual name instead of Angel. I mean, it was the first thing he called her and no one else in the Battlefront called her by her name. So it was all very new.
The brown haired boy frowned a bit, "I can tell." He said in a barely audible voice as he looked down at his shoes. He really did seem frightened.
I frowned at him, he seemed so young and inexperienced, it made me want to protect him. But I knew that everyone had to toughen up for this battle. "Listen, Ooyama. We're going to defeat them, okay? We have Yuri as a leader! You really think we'd be able to lose with someone like her?" I ask, trying to brighten up the mood a little.
His green eyes regained that friendly shimmer they usually had. "I know, I know." He began, a grin spreading across his face. "Plus, we also have Shiina on our side! So we'll win for sure!" Ooyama said excitedly, his mood had really perked up from a second ago.
I eyed him, "Shiina, huh?" I asked as my smile grew wider. "Got a little something for the female ninja, huh?" I chuckled softly.
"W-What?! What are you s-saying?! Of course not! W-Why you.." He babbled, his entire face turning a bright red and worry spread throughout his emerald eyes.
"Don't worry," I say, patting him gently on the back. "I won't tell anyone." I put my pointer finger up to my lips, shushing softly.
"W-Whatever!" Ooyama yelled, his blush deepening even more as he ran down the hallway.
"Are you making people cry again, Otonashi?" Hinata asked, smirking as he emerged from the doorway.
"Maybe," I reply, grinning devilishly.
"You know you should-" Before his sentence was completely, a pink blur appeared from nowhere and struck the blue haired male directly in the face.
"You little brat!" He shouted, holding his nose. "You could've killed me! What the hell's wrong with you?" He yelled at the small rocker girl who was smiling evilly.
"Looks like your brain slipped outta your nose again, Upper Class man!" Yui laughed, smirking aggressively as she squatted down next to him.
"That Hurt!" The purple eyed male screamed, shooting up and putting her into a headlock. "I'll show you who's brain is gonna slip outta who's nose." He growled, strangling her.
"Knock it off, Hinata." I breathed, looking down at the two idiots. "Yui, stop struggling."
"B..But he's c..crushing my windpipe." She gasped out, fighting for air.
"That's what you get you baka!" Hinata shouted.
"Time for me to intervene." I sigh, and walk over to them. "Okay, enough is enough." I say, clanking their heads together.
"Ow! Otonashi what was that for?" The other boy asked, rubbing his head.
"O-Ow, Senpai, That hurt." Yui whimpered.
"Be quiet! I'm hurting too!" The bluenette barked.
"Idiots," I breathed, "Come on, Hinata. Let's go." I say, grabbing him by the arm and yanking him up.
"Meanies!" The pinkette whined as we walked away.
"That girl, dude. She's something." Hinata sighed.
-Later-
Hinata and I'd were approaching my dorm room when we noticed that the door was slightly open. Some one had been inside.. or maybe was still inside.
"Otonashi, should we go in?" He asked nervously, eyeing the door suspiciously.
"Y-Yeah! I mean, what if someone broke into my room? What if they stole something?" I replied anxiously, my eyes never leaving the opened door.
Hinata took in a deep breath, "Okay, let's go see." He said quietly, inching towards my dorm.
"Come on, it's not like it's dangerous to go in." I say, not realizing how careless I was being. I walked straight into my room, the darkness engulfing me since the lights were out.
"Otonashi! Where'd you go?!" Hinata cried out in a sudden panic.
"Calm down, would ya? I'm right her-" I was cut off my an arm wrapping around my neck and yanking me from the door way into the pitch black room.
"Oton-" I hear Hinata begin to scream but the door is abruptly slammed shut, locking Hinata out and me in.
