Hibisha: I just took a compability test and guess what?
Burn: You're compatible with a slug?
Hibisha (glaring) : No! Actually, I'm compatible with Genda, Kidou, Dimonio, Atsuya, and Fidio. Plus Kai and Takao from Beyblade. Poor Hiromi. She didn't get either.
Burn (whistling) : So you're a slut?
Hibisha (whacking him on the head) : I said I'm compatible with them...I didn't say I was dating them.
Burn: So who am I compatible with?
Hibisha: Well, I tried your dubbed name and japanese name but the answer was the same whether I used Burn, or Torch or Nagumo...
Burn: And...?
Hibisha (blushing) : It said you were compatible with...
Burn (frowning) : With?
Hibisha (mortified) : Gazelle...
Burn: WHAT!
Hibisha: Its the truth!
Burn: God damn it! Anyways, Hibisha doesn't own Inazuma Eleven. Are you sure Hibisha?
Hibisha (nodding) : Yes! Anyways, Zonex didn't get any...Shirou's compatible with (shudders) Kabeyama!
Burn: Well...at least that's worse than Gazelle. On with the fic. By the way Hibisha...I heard you told a couple of people who Zed is...mind telling me?
Hibisha: Never!
Burn (beating her up) : Wrong answer.
"The Meeting"
Nagumo looked around at all the people who had turned up to try and find Heather. His eyes began to moist over. If only...if only they had been there when...he blinked back the tears. No! this was not the time to dwell upon him. Not the time to dwell upon his lost brother. The past was in the past and he had to let it go no matter how painful it might be. He had chosen to leave. He had chosen to leave them all. He saw Nepper, Clara and Rean in the crowd. He gave them a nod. They gave him a small smile. He could tell they missed him too. Suzuno stepped onto the podium. They were in the feild waiting for him to assign them to their posts. They had decided that they would divide into groups and cover more area that way. Suzuno 's eyes met his briefly. Nagumo faked a grin, trying to hide his distraught emotions from his brother's perceptive eyes but Suzuno didn't bat an eye. He wasn't buying it. He could see right through Nagumo. Apparently it didn't work. Of course it wouldn't work. Suzuno was probably missing him as well. Nagumo clenched his fists. Oh God! this was so like that day.
He saw Madison, Heather's cousin in the crowd. Her eyes were red and puffy as if she had been crying but he eyes had a determination which wasn't usually seen in those eyes of hers. Madison had obviously been struck hard by her cousin's disappearance but she had risen to the challenge admirably when the police had showed up. Nagumo had originally thought that the bouncy air headed red-head didn't have what it took to survive real trauma considering that the spoilt girl had never been exposed to anything worse than a broken nail. Nagumo had thought she would have cracked but the girl was holding up just fine. It was obvious there was noway she was going to give up on her cousin without a fight. Shirou was looking so depressed, Nagumo actually felt sorry for him. Atsuya was trying to soothe a sobbing Elena.
Elena Carter had been another one of the girls whom had been greatly affected by Heather's disappearance. But unlike Madison, the preppy cheerleader had not gotten accustomed to her friend's disappearance. She seemed to have sunk into a hole and would always start crying whenever Heather's name was mentioned. It was the first time Nagumo hadn't seen her annoying smile on her face. Although he would have happily lived with the smile if it meant that his friend hadn't disappeared. He hated the authorities. They were of no use in situations like these... It was all a lie, what the showed on TV.
Nagumo's attention snapped back to the stage where Suzuno now stood, tapping onto the microphone. He watched as his brother took a deep breath and started straight into the matter of his speech. The meeting was being held in the field instead of the because the dorm room had been to small to accommodate the number of people who had decided to show up.
Nagumo felt his anger and sorrow take over him. But there had been no one to help them find him. They had been younger back then and had trusted the police. Now he knew better. If you wanted anything done, you had to do it yourself. Nagumo sucked in a deep breath to calm himself down. He had to have a clear head for the speech. He had been unable to help his old friend but he would make sure that he would do everything in his power to find Heather. He owed it to his lost brother. He couldn't have done anything back then but now he would make sure he gave his utmost to the search.
Suzuno smiled at everyone, his mouth curling at the corners in the familiar Fuusuke-ish way. That dude just couldn't smile normally. Everything he did had to be cold. Smile coldly, laugh coldly and talk coldly.
"I am sure all of you are familiar with most of what I am going to say today. The fact is, a friend of ours' is missing. A person whom we all loved and cared about. That person could be anywhere at this moment shivering, starving or maybe even in the clutches of death. Does that appeal to you? Do you want this to happen to anyone you care about or do you wish to help her? Aid her in her time of need?" Suzuno paused to let the roaring students settle down before he held up a hand to motion that they should fall silent before continuing.
"I see you all agree with me. Therefore I would like all of you to stand up one by one in an orderly manner please and pledge your name. I know it may take some time but trust me, our mission will benefit from it. And before you do so, I would like Nagumo Haruya to come up here. And I also wish some of the back seaters to leave if they have no further business here other than to merely have an excuse to cut classes. Thank you." And with that, the albino walked off the stage and sat down in one of the council chairs. He had been elected leader along with Natsumi, Shirou, Atsuya and hard to believe it Nagumo. The four of them would assign students into four groups and then would take over one each. Then each leader would distribute assignments to after pairing up a team of two people. That was how it was going to go.
Nagumo stood up, the stares of everyone bore holes into his back but he walked to the podium with his back straight and with no anxiety upon his brow. Nagumo had no doubt that making him a captain had not been a good idea. He had almost stepped down when Suzuno had hissed at him that it would take too much time for them to decide on another leader so he had to put a sock in his mouth and accept his duties. And now as he walked up the stage, he was having serious second thoughts.
He stared at the sea of students waiting for him to give as great speech as Suzuno had just given. Little did they know that he, Nagumo Haruya was silent because of shock and not just trying to create drama.
He felt his knees tremble but one glance at his lost brother's face in his memories gave Nagumo a confidence he had not known he possessed when under pressure. He took a deep breath, drawing in comfort from the fact that this girl would not remain unanswered for. She would be found.
"Alright. You all heard what Suzuno said. Blondy is missing and its up to us to find her. The authorities are useless. They can't even tell their own tails from a criminal's. Now lets get to the point. How many of you guys want to help search for her?"
Nagumo was relaxing a little when his stride was broken by a single voice which carried over the crowd's murmurs and whispers. Nagumo squinted at the crowd, trying to see through the mass of bodies blocking the person. He noticed the crowd making way for someone. That someone had long raven black hair falling down to her waist and bright green eyes. Garnet Folly stared at him and repeated her question.
"Why should we care?"
Nagumo stared at her. Why that little... He had always disliked the bitch but now he really detested her. He struggled to keep himself from giving this obnoxious spoilt selfish girl a piece of his mind and instead considered her question. She stared back at him, a sneer spreading across her face.
"So what you're saying is we should work our butts off for some girl we don't care about? And she probably isn't even in any trouble. She probably found her mister right and ran off with him." She continued, tossing her hair back.
Nagumo stared at her incredulously but her words had a ring of truth to them. Garnet, obviously had no intention of stopping there.
"If I remember correctly," she said, "she was the one who had been dissing us all for a long time. She kept her snooty little nose in the air as if we smelt bad...she even quit the Rai Alpha saying we were a bunch of snobs. So why in hell should we help her. And are we really helping her? I mean she must be really happy where she is considering she hasn't returned home yet..." Nagumo blinked. There was truth in her words but...Natsumi took charge at once. She walked up to Garnet and frowned.
"Do you have any evidence to support your accusations?" she asked coolly, "Heather was a born tom-boy, that's why she quit the Alphas...as for being all cold and unfeeling for the past few days, we all know whose fault that is. I remember that it was you that who..." Garnet opened her mouth but then her eyes flashed.
"I was going to tell you guys something but now that I've been told to shut up, I will!" with that she left, smirking as she went. Nagumo stared at her retreating back...he wasn't sure about this. He saw Shirou frown. What exactly did Garnet know.
"She's just trying o make trouble." Suzuno said, reading his thoughts, "Ignore her." Nagumo nodded. But at the same time he couldn't help but feel that Garnet was onto something.
Burn: What is Garnet up to?
Hibisha: Have you forgotten? She saw Heather and He-I meant Zed together...
Burn: You said 'He-"' who is it?
Hibisha; Good grief man! You still haven't figured it out? Anyways, plz review.
Burn (hurt) : Hey I wanted to say that!
Hibisha: Go ahead!
Burn: Plz review! There! That sounded so much better.
