Chapter 51

Everything can change at any moment, suddenly and forever."

- Paul Auster


Rito wakes up the next day. He looks around and doesn't find anyone on his bed, thankfully. He breathes relieved, gets up from his bed and puts his shirt and green uniform pants. He leaves the room, yawns and then he hears a noise coming from Lala room that kind of noise when you're building something. Not wanting to get in trouble, he simply comes descend the stairs and goes to the kitchen where her sister was cooking some rice for them.

"Ohaio, Mikan." Rito said.

"Ohaio Rito;" He said that Mikan finished preparing the rice. "And how is our sick alien?"

"So far nothing special, thankfully." Rito said scratching behind the head relieved.

"Oh but didn't you have so much fun with the Marathon of Magical Kyouko yesterday?" She said smiling. "I saw your enthusiasm as she almost ripped your arm."

"Don't make me remember that." Rito said while feeling a chill down his spine. "I'm still amazed at how we convinced her sleeping in her bed."

"Hihihi this sort of situation only happens to you." She said flicking on his forehead.

Rito smiled to Mikan as she smiled back.

"My sincere apologies for spoiling your moment together, but I think we should eat our breakfast if we don't want to waste our time." Lala said wearing glasses with red outline.

"Oh yes." Mikan said turning quickly to her. "Lala, you'll be very happy that I made a very delicious rice for you."

"Oh you should not!" Lala said smiling at them.

"Oh come on, it is a pleasure." Mikan said cheerful for the comment.

"No, you really should not, I'll eat something else." Lala said adjusting her glasses. "Today is the Deviluke's food, human food is Tuesday."

"But... But couldn't you have told me? I spent half an hour preparing extra food for you." Mikan asked incredulous.

"Oh, I think I could, but I had much more important things to do." Lala said with an air of superiority.

Mikan rolled her eyes seeing that it was gonna be another long day enduring Lala. Rito and Mikan took the food to the table and sat. A few minutes later, Lala appeared with a bowl (there was a black smoke coming out of it) in her hand and she walks to the side of Rito.

"Rito... You're in my spot." Lala said.

"Huh? What do you mean by that?" Rito asked raising an eyebrow. "What difference does it make if you sit somewhere else."

"What is the difference?" She said getting surprise and upset. "This spot is ideally located. In the winter that seat is close enough to the radiator to remain warm and yet not so close as to cause perspiration. In the summer it's directly in the path of a cross breeze created by opening windows there and there. I could say more things but I think you already get it."

"(Sigh)... Okay." Rito said leaving the sit and sitting in another.

They eat while hearing Lala's intelligent comments that nobody was interested like: what is the rice's composition, where did the word Itadakimaso came from and others...

"Okay, I think I'm already going to school." Rito said standing in the middle of the meal.

"But you have not finished your meal." Lala said wondering his behavior. "You always finish your meal."

"Yeah I know ... Somehow something ruined my appetite." Rito said referring to her.

"Oh... Maybe you should check your health; maybe you're sick…" Lala said adjusting the glasses and not understanding his sarcasm.

'Oh please make her stop.' Rito thought.

Rito went to the school by himself, not wanting to spend more time with that intelligent person. He arrives at school, and by the time he had arrived he expected to be much emptier, he also notes that many people were whispering and he looking at him, he does not care since their opinion didn't mattered to him, but he saw a student that it did matter to him.

"Oshizu-chan!" Rito yelled seeing her.

"Ah Y-Yuuki-kun." She said s little surprised. "Good morning! Going to the class?"

"Yeah, care to join me?" Rito asked trying to sound friendly.

She agreed and they went to class.

'Okay... I really didn't expect to this to happen I don't even know what I should talk to her… There's still too much distance between us… But I have to push myself and use this chance to be her friend.' Rito thought with determination.

"Right. I came earlier to help Mikado-sensei and ended up finding him… I'm little bit nervous to talk to him all alone but… I have to use this chance to learn something that can make Yui and him get close to each other.' Oshizu thought.

'I definitely have to make the most of this chance.' They thought the same without realizing that they were both looking serious into the eyes of each other.

Realizing what they did, they both started to blush and looked away.

"Eeh... So Oshizu, how are you adapting to your new life?" He asked still averting the eye contact.

"Ah It's being great, I should have done it long time ago." She said happy. "To be able to interact with people, be able to touches them... Feel the warmth of them..."

"That's great ... And if you need someone to take you to explore the city... Just talk to me." Rito said a little embarrassed he did not want that she thinks that he was asking her out.

"Thank you, but Mikado-sensei and Yui have done it yesterday." And she turned down his proposal but she was happy that he offered.

"Oh..." Rito said seeing that missed a good chance.

"And you, Yuuki-kun, what do you do during the week?" She asked planning to see what would be the best day to set up something between him and Yui.

"Me? Well, I train almost every day and I do not have much free time since I have to help my dad and take care of the plants and Sakura." Rito said remembering his training with Mea.

"Oh..." she said disappointed.

"And... I hear you're living with Dr. Mikado." Rito said scratching behind his head. "How are you feeling about that?"

"I really like living there, I am helping her with her clinic now, I am kind of a nurse there and that's the best part of living there. I can use my power to help patients."

"Wow..." he said.

"What?"

"Nothing. It's... just… I think is very noble of you part, in liking on helping other people." He said scratching behind the ear.

"There's one more thing I'd like to know." Feeling that it was her turn to ask.

"What is it?" Rito asked raising an eyebrow.

"What is the type of woman who attracts you?" She asked with a notepad in her hand.

Rito steps back, caught off guard. He scratches his cheek.

"Well... I do not really have a type that particularly attracts me at first sight, but, of course, that's not the most important thing." Rito said a little embarrassed as he said. "I think a man who is just looking at the outside, is making a big mistake. It's not the outside that matters, but the inside."

"Wow..." She said half embarrassed.

"What?" He asked.

"Nothing I just think it's cool you think that." She said discovering more and more why Yui liked him.

The two started to blush seeing that the other was a better person than they thought. They started a conversation or rather tried, until the beginning of the class but the two were very bad at finding a new subject so in the end they talked too little. Soon after, the class has started but neither Lala nor Run or Ren had appeared. Thinking that something had happened, our main character sent a message by his phone to both of them. A few minutes later, Lala replied that she had more important things to do than waste her time with these easy lessons. Rito rolled his eyes and went back to pay attention in the class and in the window. The rest of the day went quiet without any thing out of the ordinary. At lunch time where Rito was having his lunch with Mea, since Kotegawa had to go to a meeting with the school disciplinary committee. And Oshizu was helping Mikado-sensei. While he was eating, he received a message of Run on the cellphone. She said, she could not go to school today because she was going to attend a meeting with the record company and she would do the impossible to be the best pop star of all. After reading this, Rito was proud of her dedication.

"Hm... Looks like someone got good news." Mea said in a teasing tone. "Which of your lovers sent the message?"

"H-hey I have no lover or anything like that!" Rito said embarrassed.

"If Onii-chan say so. But do not come asking me to stop making fun when you get a girlfriend. It will be hilarious." Mea said laughing.

'I don't think anyone would like to have me as a boyfriend.' Rito thought depressed.


Later in the day, after his boxing training, Rito arrived at his home.

"Tadaima!" Rito shouted after closing the door.

"Ah Rito, I'm glad you arrived. Could you do me a favor?" Mikan screamed from the kitchen. "Lala, left the house a while ago and hasn't returned. Could you look for her?"

"(Sigh)... Do you have any idea where she is?" Rito asked a little worried.

"She said that today was the day of buying Manga, so she probably went to a store to buy some. Maybe she went to buy the Shonen Jump of this week?" Mikan answered.

"... Well this is better than nothing. I'll look in one of the shops nearby and see if I can find her." Rito answered putting his tennis again.

Rito leaves home looking for her. He asks people in the street if they saw her and if someone knows any Manga's store. Time was running out as the sun was setting, for a instance he thought on returning to home and wait for her return, after all sooner or later the shop was going to close but he felt that that was a bit selfish on his part, so kept his search… After a few tries asking to some people, he finally found someone who said he saw someone with pink hair going to Manga-s store. Following the information given by that person, he finds the store and finds Lala talking to someone wearing a black cap who was trying to hide her face.

"Lala" He said relieved after finding her.

"Oh, Rito, why are you here? Can't you see I'm in the middle of something?" Lala said adjusting his glasses and pointing to the next person. "I'm in the middle of a discussion of who would win a battle…"

The cap person hides the face even more, but Rito could see the glasses and some blue strands of her hair.

"Lala, Mikan's worried about you. We have dinner. Let's before she scold us." Rito said scratching behind his head unsure of what to do to convince her.

Fortunately…

"Okay, I guess I have no choice." She said putting the manga that she was arguing about, back to the bookshelf and now looking to cap person. "See you around, I look forward to discussing more next that we meet. It was very pleasurable."

"Yeah thank you too." The person said trying to make a deeper voice, but it clearly failed.

They left and the person wearing the cap was relieved that they have not discovered who she was. Rito did not talk to Lala, he was tired of that after all and Lala did not talk because she did not want. But before they arrived at home, Lala stop by at a Thai restaurant… It was Thai food day for dinner apparently. After dinner everyone went to their respective bedroom, Lala continued with her inventions, Mikan was watching a movie and Rito was taking care of Sakura and hoping that tomorrow Lala behaves better than today.


And finally came the other day, starting with someone opening the curtains of the boy's bedroom ,letting the light into the room. Rito complains quietly and turns to the other side.

"Let's wake up!" Shouted a certain someone. "The youth never waits!"

Rito opens one of his eyes and sees Lala wearing a green jumpsuit, orange striped leg warmers, giving thumbs up, winking, and smiling. Rito blinks a few times... scratches his eyes... and turned to the other side, thinking he was hallucinating.

"Come on! Let's show the world the full power of youth!" She shouted picking Rito from his bed and throwing on the floor.

"Gyaaah" Rito yells surprised by what she did. Somehow he didn't got hurt by that.

"Okay... I'm awake." Rito said. "Looks like it'll be another tough day."

"What's going on? Why are you doing all that fuss?" Mikan said upon entering the room.

"Oh perfect one more student." Lala said smiling to Mikan.

Mikan swallows while Rito facepalmed.

"To start the day, let's start with some exercises. Let's all get stronger and stronger." Lala said doing a pose which was: putting a hand on her hip and the other hand in the air with the index finger and the middle finger making a sign V.

Lala pull the two to her room, where two TREADMILLS were waiting for them.

"TREADMILL?" Rito asked scratching his head.

"It's not just simple treadmill, they are the Gun-Gun-Run-Run-kun. With them we will enhance your potential." She said pointing to the machines. "Only with hard work and passion we can achieve our goals."

The two siblings are forced to climb on the machine and immediately it starts working. But it was slow, maybe that wasn't so bad, maybe they could enjoy. But then Lala picks a remote control and press a button which increases the speed. They started running on the treadmill, but then

"Now let's show what youth is about!" Lala said pressing another button.

From the ceiling, appears a machine gun loading tennis' balls.

"Oh uh." Rito said.

The machine starts firing the balls. Now Rito and Mikan have to dodge while running.

"That's it Hohoho! Keep it up and soon you will all become the spring beasts of youth." Lala said cheerfully.

'Wait a second. Aren't we in the winter?' Mikan wondered.

Lala began to put more speed, more dangerous things as a robot crocodile behind them, electric shock baton falling from the ceiling and other things... until the machine imploded.


"I feel all my body in pain." Rito said walking, head down and arms down to school.

"Cheer up Rito." Lala said giving a good hard slap on his back, luckily it did not break anything from him but he felt a lot of pain and besides the fact that he thought that his eyes were gonna fall. "I know. How about a race to the school?"

"No." And he said too tired to give a better answer.

"Now set, GO!" Lala said running off not even paying attention to what he said.

A little far from there, there was a certain princess with a green hair who was waiting leaned at a wall. The street was desert and she was the only person there.

'Hmph, I do not believe that I believed in my horoscope… It said that good things will happen between you and your loved one. Seriously, I'm planted here in this place since early morning waiting for him...' Run thought.

Then something catches her attention in the corner of her eye, she looks thinking that it was him.

"Rito-san ~ What a surprise to see you here." She said turning to that.

But it was not the person she expected, in fact it was another alien that Run knew well, at high speed.

"I will win! Nothing can stop the power of youth!" Lala shouted as she ran.

She runs over the green princess so hard that sends her flying away. Of course Lala did not realize what she did, she was too focused on something else. However, Run, who had landed in a lake not far away, was furious not only she was wet, but also she would not be able to see Rito. To make things worse she thought that she was so ugly in that state and so wet, that she thought that she would have to go home to redo her makeup and change her clothes. But that was not over, oh no, Run'd try to have her revenge.


Later during a break between a class to another, Aya and Rin had noticed during the class that Saki was sighing all the time, thinking that maybe had decease, Aya and Rin got close to her.

"Saki-sama, Do you need something? Are you feeling okay?" Rin asked to her friend.

"Ahh... Zastin-sama... Why did you have to hit me with an arrow of passion and leave me suffering here." Saki said hallucinating. "What should I do to calm down?"

"S-Saki-sama!?" Aya said not knowing for sure what to do.

Rin then pulls Aya out of class saying they needed to do something. Aya suggested that they should help Saki get together with Zastin. Rin agreed, but how they were going to do that?

Later during lunch.

"Rito~ where are you?" Lala shouted excitedly. "Come on! We need to exercise our bodies! The spring of youth will not last forever!"

Rito was hiding behind of a wall, he knew that anything that she was planning, for sure it was not good. Rito feels something strange, luckily for him, he was training with Mea how to defend against surprise attacks, if it was not, he would have been hit on the head by a bamboo sword.

"Wow Mea this is not the time to..." He said after jumping to the side. He stopped when he saw it was not his false sister, but the two companions of Saki. "You guys? What are you doing?"

"You will come with us whatever you like or not." Aya said.

'That voice?' Rito thought raising an eyebrow.

"Uh... Then I think I'm going with you girls?" He said scratching behind the ear.

They take him to an empty school room to talk, where there was nothing besides desk. Rin closes the door and looks at the boy who crosses his arms without understanding anything.

"A question before we begin, why you tried to knock me out with a bamboo sword?" He asked a bit angry.

"Because we thought you would not come if we asked nicely after what we've done with you." Rin said remembering the accident during the festival. Of course, she did not know, that actually it was Ren who was kidnapped that time. "Yuuki Rito... Let's start by introducing who we are. I am Kujou Rin and that is Aya Fujisaki.

"Okay... How are you?" Rito asked not knowing what to say.

"Well, but, Yuuki Rito, let's get go to business. We have a request for you, you know Zastin-Sama, right?" Rin asked looking seriously at him.

"Huh? Zastin? Yeah, why?" He asked getting even more confused.

"Currently Saki-sama's beloved Zastin-sama. We want you to bring him here and give an opportunity for them to know each other and she will also have the opportunity to reveal how he feels." Rin explained.

'Beloved? I did not even know they knew each other... That again many things have happened since I was away.' Rito thought completely surprised.

"… Your Answer?" Rin asked.

"If that's it, I can call him now. He should arrive before the end of the lunch." Rito said picking up the phone.

"Really?" Aya said happy. Rito could swear he had already heard that voice somewhere else.

Rito calls Zastin, who was in his house at the time.

"Hello... Guardian? No, I'm not doing anything... you need me in the school now? All right. I'm on my way." Zastin said on the phone.

Beep *

"He said he's on his way." Rito reported for them.

"Really? That's great!" Aya said as a smile appeared on Rin's face. "Thank you!"

It was then that Rito discovered. That voice...Yesterday evening... Woman with a hat...

"Wait you!" Rito shouted wide-eyed, pointing to Aya and scaring the two. "Yesterday in the mangabook store-"

Aya realized what he was going to say, begins to blush, in a swift movement, she covers his mouth.

"NO!" She said surprised them all.

Still with her hand on his mouth, she pulls him out of the class quickly.

"... What was that?" Rin asked not understanding anything.

After taking him to the roof, Aya finally takes her hand from his mouth.

"Whew, that was close." She said relieved and looking at him. "I... I think I owe you an explanation."

"You think?" Rito said sarcastically. Yes even he could be sarcastic sometimes.

"Yes it was me last night!" Aya revealed blushing at the same time. "I beg you, please, do not tell Saki-sama and Rin-chan that I like that kind of thing! It is possible that if they know this, they will never want to talk to me again."

"... Can I just ask you something... Why do you two always doing so many things to Tenjouin-Senpai?" He asked. To tell the truth, with the personality that Saki had, he couldn't understand how she had friends.

"The truth is… Rin's family serves for the Tenjouin family for centuries, but yet, Saki-sama never treated her as a bodyguard but actually as a friend. She is a very kind person. When I was younger I used to be bullied by other kids." Aya revealed. "And Saki-Sama was the only one who protected me and soon she became my friend. If it wasn't for her... Maybe I would be all alone today."

'Heh... I never imagined that...' Rito thought. "Tenjouin-Senpai is very that I thought… but still I consider her a bit crazy…"

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone, your secret is safe with me." Rito said.

"Really?" She said relieved. "Thank you. Now if you can excuse me, I'll tell the news to the Saki-sama!~"

Rito seeing that the problem was solved decided to go back to his hide. It didn't take long to Zastin appear at the school gate, scaring the people who were there.

"The Guardian called me, but I do not see him." The captain who was wearing his dragon armor said.

"Saki-sama now is your chance!" Aya shouted to Saki after seeing the swordsman.

"Wait, Aya! I'm still not ready." Saki argued still embarrassed by the situation.

"Nonsense, you can do it you're the queen!" Her best friend said pushing the blonde to the Zastin.

Zastin looks at girls who that appeared in front of him. Aya disappear from there, wishing good luck for her.

"You are..." Zastin said without understanding.

"I am Tenjouin Saki..." she said with difficulty and blushing.

"Can I help you with something?" He asked smiling at her.

"Well ... Actually I... I..." She tried with all her might say what she felt but could not.

"Zastin!?"

They look at where did the sound and see the princess of Deviluke.

"Good that you came. Now come! I need you!" Lala said since she needed a partner to train and since she didn't find Rito.

"Yes, Lala-sama!" He said bowing and going to her.

"But... But..." Saki was trembling while raising her hand as if she was trying to catch him.

"I'm sorry, but my priorities are with Lala-sama. We can talk another day. Bye" Zastin said.

He would regret having come to school, as Lala forced him to give several handstand laps around the school. He ended up completely exhausted and moreover he had work to do for Rito's father after that.

But meanwhile, Saki gritted her teeth furious.

"Why Lala? Why are you always meddling in my life? Why do you keep doing this?"

Aya and Rin went there to console her... But someone, unexpected, went to console her but because she had her own interests.

"Oh I'm sorry for what happened to you, Beautiful Tenjouin-Senpai." Run said calling the attention of the blonde. "But you and I have an enemy in common and now I suggest that we work together so that we can defeat it.

"... And what do you suggest?" Saki said interested.

Run then points to a blonde girl who was eating a Tayaki alone across the courtyard. Saki at first did not understand why. But she understood after she seeing that girl attacking the perverted headmaster who tried to approach her. Saki smiled then, seeing that soon… she would have her revenge.


We jumped our story to the end of class when Lala was leaving and willing to do something physical exercise. Rito stayed in the room to admire the window.

Lala was leaving when Yami appears in front of her. Several students, who were leaving, stopped and started to stare at what was going on.

"Princess, fight me!" Yami ordered.

"Eh?" Lala said caught off guard.

Apparently Yami was hired by the two girls to defeat Lala in front of everyone. Everyone who was nearby got excited after hearing the word 'fight'.

"Oh hohoho." Lala laughed happy. "Finally a rival to fight me, I shall now consider you as my eternal rival. Great, I was really looking for exercise and nothing better than a good fight."

"I ask you not to use any of your inventions." Yami said getting into position. "I want to fight you seriously."

"OK!" Lala said raising a thumbs up, winking and smiling. "But, before that. Peke, battle suit."

"... Are you sure you want to use that again?" Peke said sweat dropping.

"Yes!" She replied smiling.

"... Okay. Transformation!" Peke shouted.

The uniform turns into a green jumpsuit, orange striped leg warmers and a flak jacket.

"Let's not waste time!" Yami said transforming a portion of her hair in a hand and try to punch her .

Lala blocks the punch and decides to return with a punch.

"My turn, dynamic punch!" Lala shouted, throwing the punch.

Yami was surprised, but dodges the punch by launching the body slightly to the left.

"That much power with just her fist..." Yami thought surprise. "It seems like I have no reason to hold back."

Yami smiled. She goes towards Lala turning almost all her hair into fists.

"Let's have a memorable battle. Dynamic Action!" Lala yelled also going towards Yami.

Yami sends a series of punches using her hair as Lala at the same time tries to attack with punches and kicks. Neither could find an opening nor could do some damage. Those who were were impressed by the strength and the speed of the two.

"Th-this has become quite a spectacle..." Saki said impressed and flabbergasted.

"It seems just like something from a battle movie…" Run said equally impressed and with wide eyes. "But it seems we did well to hire her."

Saki agreed. The two were watching the battle with Rin and Aya, who were a little concerned, behind a bush a few meters away.

"That girl... She might be able to make Lala taste the flavor of defeat." Saki commented smiling.

Meanwhile, Rito was looking at the window with his chin supported by the hand and his elbow resting on the desk, he suddenly sees the glass shaking. He raises an eyebrow finding it strange, then, Lala appears in his field of view (remembering, he was on the second floor) shouting something like dynamic flying kick or something. He widens his eyes and sees her going down while she performs the flying kick. He follows the trajectory of her and sees his boxing companion blocking the punch with her hair.

"Oh no! What's going on?" He shouted in panic rising from where he was sitting.

While they were fighting, Yami noticed something. Her movements were more fluid and she was being able to dodge more easily than ever before. She felt faster and her senses were sharper than ever and when she saw Lala's opening, Yami did not think twice and hit her with a right cross with her real hand. Lala is sent away and destroying the wall where she collided.

"It seems that Yami was able to do some damage with that one." Run said.

"Ouch." Lala said leaving the rubble of destruction.

Lala clothing got a few tears here and there and having a bruise where she was hit.

"Are you okay, Peke?" She asked as she clean the dust from her shoulder.

"Yes. I'll fix your clothes quickly." Peke said.

"Great!" Lala goes toward Yami. She stops a few meters away from Yami.

"Impressive, Yami. Your agility and your punches really impressed me." Lala said smiling.

"This... is thanks to Hitoshi-sensei." Yami said smiling.

"Now I'll show one of my secret weapons!" Lala said getting in position when you will start run.

Yami raises an eyebrow. Lala smiles and runs around Yami. The speed was so great that those who were watching the fight could not see the princess. Yami tried to follow, but it was getting difficult, and she could not understand the reason for this.

'What is she doing?' Yami thought.

Lala suddenly disappears from Yami's view, Yami widens her eyes surprise.

"What?" She asked taking a step back.

She then looks down and sees Lala below.

'D-Damn!' Yami thought seeing that she was caught off guard.

Lala launches swift upper kick, sending the target into the air. Lala jumps, following the trajectory of Yami and approaches her and grabs her hair. Lala started spinning while holding Yami until she gets enough speed and throws her toward the ground. The impact of Yami crashing into the ground causes a small earthquake, the school structures starts to shake and some students fall into the ground. The dust rises where Yami fell, preventing the people to know what had happened to her.

"Oh no, did she lose?" Saki asked not worried with the assassin but that Lala had won again.

But when the dust settles, Yami appears standing okay with only some cuts on her clothing.

"Hmph... Impressive." Yami said cleaning the dust on her face.

Wings appear on Yami's back while Lala uses her anti-gravitational system with wings to fly too.

"So let's continue?" Lala asked smiling slightly.

Yami agrees and they continue to fight in the sky. The shock waves caused by the battle begin to destroy parts of the school.

"Lala Yami STOP!" Rito shouted after leaving the building.

But they do not listen and continue to fight. Yami creates a giant hand with her hair which holds Lala and throws her in the building. Lala crashes the wall; destroy it and entering within in a random room. It did not take long for her to return and stand a few meters away from the blonde. Lala returned the attack by releasing a laser from her tail in Yami. Because of the short distance and the surprise attack, Yami failed to divert and was hit. But Yami, despite some minor injuries, wasn't done and went back to the offensive. The attacks begin to become more violent, but no blow can connect. The problem is that the school begins to be destroyed because of the fight. Those who were watching, begins to flee in fear. Lala then goes back a few meters to gain some distance from Yami.

"Prepare to my next special move: Morning Peacock!" Lala screamed.

Lala begins punching the in Yami direction repeatedly. The punches are so fast, they are set ablaze by sheer speed and friction which in turn creates a peacock-like fan of flames all aiming to Yami. But Yami dodges by flying higher… the same couldn't be said about the building. Pieces of the structure start to fall to the ground.

"At this rate, the school will be destroyed." Saki warned.

Yami turn one of her hands in sword, raises the sword above the head and swings down creating a cutting wind pressure. Lala dodges by moving to right, but Yami keep swinging the sword and launching more air blades. Lala is able to escape but the attack cut the school in many parts.

"Stop Golden Darkness! Run shouted fearing the worse.

'Damn... They are too involved in the fight... There's no way on stopping until one of them falls.' Rito thought while thinking it was unsafe to stay there. 'I think the best now is to leave this place."

Rito sees the girls, who by the way were one of the few who were still there, and went there.

"We need to get out of here! It's very dangerous." Rito said worried.

The girls look at him; Saki crosses her arms and turns her face.

"But of course we aren't going anywhere, right, Run?" Saki said with an air of superiority.

But she was surprised to see Run hugging the boy's left arm.

"Oh, Rito-san, my hero! Let's get away from these two barbarians!" Run said like she was victim in that situation.

Rito rolled his eyes as Saki looked at her with contempt and anger for betraying her. The other two girls even tried to convince Saki leave, but failed.

Meanwhile in the fight, Yami tries to punch with her hair, but Lala makes an X with her forearms defending the attack. But Yami was not done, taking advantage that Lala left, below the head, unguarded, the assassin approaches and punches in Lala's stomach, Lala gasp for air for a second. But right after the attack, Lala repaid that by giving a headbutt on Yami's forehead.

Rito pulled Run the by hand, but she ended up falling to the ground.

"Run?" Rito said looking at the floor.

"Rito-san I think I twisted my ankle... I don't think I can run anymore."

Rito sighed and put her in his arms carrying her in bride style. It was clear that, in fact, she did not twist her ankle; actually it was just another plan of hers which worked.

'It seems that my plan worked.' Run thought.

"I'm going to finish this with my next move. So get ready!" Lala shouted getting into position.

"Me too!" Yami said transforming her hair to the final blow.

"That's enough!" Saki yelled in vain. "I-I am cancelling our contract!"

Yami use all her hair and transform into a giant dragon. Lala places a palm facing forward in front of her face with one hand and then taps it with his other hand, formed into a fist, which creates a massive amount of air pressure. Next, Lala forms a unique hand seal resembling a tiger. Next she puts her tail over her hands, launches a laser beam that combined by the air pressure creates a new attack that resembles to a gigantic tiger. The outcome of the meeting of the two forces was as strong bright light which for a second blinds all those who were around him. Furthermore they all are thrown away by the massive explosion including Rito and Run. Everyone that was still in school, were eventually knocked out and the school was totally destroyed. The only people who were still standing were the assassin and the princess.

"Well, I think it was a draw." Lala said seeing that the two were still standing.

"Not bad... It's the first time up until now, you're the first target that has put up quite a fight. It was great, but next I will win." Yami said.

"But of course I will not let this happen. Ho Ho Ho. I'll never let my eternal rival take the lead." Lala said smiling.

"No! no more fights among you!" Rito Shouted that by some miracle was not knocked out by the blast and had Run, knocked out, in his arms... but at least had a smile on her face.

"Rito! Very glad you came! We need to go train. I have to become stronger!" Yami said without even notice that their clothes were destroyed as well.

Rito, if he could, would have slapped his forehead, but was carrying someone unconscious. After that, Peke repaired the clothes of the girls, Lala carried everyone who knocked to the medical clinic of Mikado-sensei she said it would be a good training. Rito and Yami went to the gym after leaving the Run in the clinic as well.

"You caused so much wreck today." Rito said a little angry.

"I know..." Yami said with her monotone voice.

"And because of you we will not have class tomorrow you since you two destroyed the building." He continued. "Many people got hurt because of it. It was very irresponsible of you."

"I'm sorry." She said avoided eye contact.

"And I... I... I'm still surprised you have agreed to do boxing." Rito said scratching his nose and making Yami look at him. "I thought you being an intergalactic assassin would not be interested."

"That's where you're wrong... There's a lot to learn everywhere, whether reading, watching, listening, smelling or feeling. As an Assassin I learned that we should always keep your senses sharp to get the best out of the situation... But..." Yami paused. "This is the first time I use my senses for other things than the art of killing, it's weird, because I lived always using those hands to kill others and now... Even now training boxing, which is a type fighting, I do not feel the same thing I feel something different. But it is a good different."

'... It seems that Yami is learning more and more on how to be a human and relax...' Rito thought watching her. 'I need to keep her that way. I do not want anyone to go to the bottom of the hole... and I hope she never sees the evil that there are in the humans' heart.'

They come to the gym, Yami trains with more intensity than before leaving the sensei even happier and the fact that she seemed to listen his instructions more than before. Rito also trained well, but he wished that his body didn't feel so heavy, maybe was because all the intense things that he went today.

Later after the work out when Rito and Yami were outside the gym.

"Well, it's getting late. I must collect a debt." Yami said. "... I'll see you tomorrow..."

"Yeah... Take care of yourself." Rito said waving.

She disappears, but with a thought that maybe she should have talked about Mea to him. On the other hand, she felt somehow that Mea, even though she was evil, could not do anything bad to him. And unconsciously Yami thought that if she did, Mea would pay for it. Shortly thereafter Yami shakes her head trying to forget that thought.


Because of the destruction yesterday, the school was closed for repairs which meant...

"Surprise training!"

"Gyaaah!" Rito shouted being awaked by the assassin girl who was on top of him. "Mea!?"

"Hai! Let's take the chance that you do not have school to train." She said cheerfully.

"Wait what? How are you in my room?" Rito asked a little lost. Give a discount for him, is not every day that you are surprised by an assassin who is trying to train you.

"I entered through your window!" Mea said innocently.

"... But I locked the window yesterday." He said expecting the worse.

"I know, and so I had to break." She said pointing to the window. "Do not worry. I did a professional job, so I did not have to break the glass."

"Didn't she know about respecting the personal space of the others?..." He thought worried she entered his room without his permission.

"Fine. Give me a few minutes for me to change." Rito said scratching behind the ear.

"Okay Hehehe I don't keep me waiting Onii-chan." Mea said before disappearing. "Or your training will only get worse."

Rito sighed discouraged, he got dressed and went to breakfast. There, he met his sister who had class, but not Lala. Rito and Mikan did not bother to wake her up after all they didn't have school, no problem on not waking... In fact it was even better if she remained sleeping.

"But I'm wondering, why did you wake up so early?" Mikan said before putting some rice in her mouth. "Going somewhere?"

"Surprise training. ..." Rito said not too excited.

Mikan did not get it, but thought it best was. The best not to ask. After breakfast, Rito met Mea in the park. There were many people in that park that day, surprisingly when you think that it was a morning Friday. There were people running, children playing, boys playing soccer, picnickers etc... "

Well, what do we do now?" He asked after stretching a little.

"Oh Onii-Chan, you'll love my super mega traini-"

Booom *

A soccer ball ends up hitting completely in his face, he was paying too much attention to what she was talking about to see the ball. While Rito put a hand on his face where he was hit, the ball landed next to Mea's foot.

"Oh sorry. Can you return the ball, old lady?" One of the boys who was playing with the ball while ago and now came to them to retrieve said.

Now remember kids. That no woman, no matter where is from, they never like to be called old ladies. Some can disguise pretending that they don't matter... And others... not so much.

"Oh you want the ball?" Mea asked catching the ball with one hand. "Then go get it!"

She releases the ball, but before touching the ground, she kicks the ball so hard that ends up sending it to other side... of the city. Everyone was flabbergasted... So remember guys... never call a woman old.

'Mental note, never call Mea as old lady ...' Rito thought a little scared by her reaction.

"Don't you think you went a little overboard?" Rito asked concerned about the boys.

"Maybe. But at least they will not bother our training.~" She said smiling at him. "But it seems that your skills to dodge surprise attacks are not perfect yet. Let's work on that, Shall we?"

She smiled drawing her sword. Rito swallowed fearing what was going to happen.


Shortly after training, Rito was laying down exhausted on the floor.

"I think that's all for today, Oni -chan. Your movements and yours kicks are better... Now at least you're not kicking like a weakling." Mea said being happy with his progress.

"Thanks." Rito said while lying catching his breath.

"Well, my job is done. I think I'll go now." She said half serious.

Rito then sits and looks at her. "Hey Mea... I know that you take your job very seriously, but you don't need to be like that all the time. We are in Japan, why do not you relax a little."

"But..." She said in vain trying to make him stop.

"Isn't there anything you want to try while you are here?" Rito asked.

She put a hand a on her chin and start thinking.

"...Actually I wonder what it was that the boys were playing with the ball.: She said coming to a conclusion.

"You mean soccer?" Rito said raising an eyebrow.

"I've seen before but I still do not understand." She said scratching behind her head.

"I'll explain to you. To play you need a ball and two goals." Rito explained. " We divide people into two teams and each team go to one side of the field. Your goal is to put the ball inside of the adversary's goal and at the same time prevent the other team to make a goal on the goal of your side of the field. Win the game, the team who has more goals."

"... It seems kind of stupid." Mea said thinking coldly. "Why it would be fun to try to put a ball inside of a goal? It seems kind of dumb..."

"But it's fun." Rito said scratching behind his head.

"How can you this be considered fun?" And she said not understanding the fun.

"I'll show you. I saw some other people playing at the entrance." Rito said pointing to one side. "We ask if we can play... And please try not kick the ball to the other side of the world and use the speed of a normal person."

Mea agreed not very lively. There was a group of six teenagers playing making two goals with four stones, Rito asked and they were kind enough to let them to participate. Mea and Rito were on same team.

They started to play; Mea went to a corner and began to watch the game not too keen on running after the ball. Everyone who played had enough skill as a footballer. Even Rito, who although he hadn't played football for a long time, was showing that he had some skill ball. Then, you could say it was good game to see. But Mea hardly went after ball, most of the time she was in a corner without much willingness to participate. That is until she receives the ball when she was on the opponent's penalty arc, Mea was surprised not knowing what to do.

"Go Mea!" Rito shouted enthusiastically. "Kick to the goal."

She then runs a bit and kicks the ball. But the ball was caught by the goalkeeper. Disappointed and frustrated, Mea determination increased. Now she wanted to make a goal and before she noticed she was actively after the ball and helping the team. And even though she did not want to admit she was having fun. At the end of the game, Mea received the ball.

"Go!" Everyone from her team yelled in union.

They were losing and that was chance to tie the game. Mea runs with fast and managed to keep the ball at her feet. When she was face to face with the goalkeeper, she kicks and... miss the goal. Soon after, the game ends and the Rito's team loses. Mea was crestfallen, Rito notices that, comes near her and put a hand on her shoulder trying to console her.

"Are you alright?" Rito asked worried.

"Onii-Chan... I loved this sport!" Mea said excited scaring Rito. "Gee, I never thought it was possible to have this feeling even though you spent most of the time chasing a ball. The vibe of the game, the sweat on his face, the feeling of having a chance to make a goal... I never imagined it, it's amazing! When we will play again?"

Rito was happy that she was excited and had fun. At first he saw that she was not participating much, but after a while she started chasing all the time after the ball. After that they sprawled out in the shade of a tree, exhausted. The breeze felt so good on their sun-soaked bodies. And together they watched fluffy white clouds drift lazily across the clear blue sky. No worries on their thoughts…


Later

Rito came home and found Lala after entering the house.

"Tadaima! Good afternoon Lala. How are you feeling?" He asked. He notices the new hairstyle of Lala. Lala's hair was kept combed neatly to one side.

Seeing the boy, Lala began to blush.

"G-Good afternoon, Yuuki-san. I-I'm fine. And and you?" She asked shyly.

Rito raised an eyebrow. She had never called by his surname. Lala then notice that he had a cut on his knee.

"Yuuki-san, you have a cut on your knee!" Lala said worried.

"Ah." Rito said noting the cut. "I must have done when I was playing football."

Lala runs away and comes back with a Band-Aid.

"We cannot leave this open wound, right?" She said worried.

"Huh... Thanks." Rito said blushing a little and a little surprised.

She looks at the wound without looking at him. That's because she could not stop smiling after hearing he thanked her.

she kneels and lowering her head to treat his court. But there was a reason why lowering her head.

'Oh no what should I do?' Lala thought her face blushing furiously. "I can't not take this smile off my face. Focus Lala! You can't look pathetic in front of him. Think of something sad... Like a dog with three legs or when the boy released the butterfree or when... or the beautiful smile of Rito."

"A-All done." She said getting up.

Rito looked at her and raised an eyebrow.

"Why are you smiling, Lala?" Rito asked worried.

Apparently she was still sleeping, she panicked and started to blush even more. She takes a step back and start sweating.

"Uh... This morning I saw a very funny program." She answered in panic. "It makes me laugh just thinking..."

Rito became even more confused.

'Oh no what do I do? I can't control myself.' She thought in panicky closing her eyes and putting her hands on her face.

'As I thought, she still has some strange personality.' Rito thought sighed.

"I-I-I'm g-going to my r-room, okay?" She asked smiling trying to get out of this embarrassing situation.

"Huh... sure." He answered.

Not one second later she disappeared from there leaving Rito blankly.


During the lunch, it was very strange for him since they were going lunch at home, they had Mikan class, so left bentos prepared for them in the fridge. Rito had lunch with Lala before, she was always very happy during the lunch, always talking about something, never being ashamed to say something, Rito used to be quiet and listening to what she says only talking when she asked something. But this time, it was a queit lunch... very awkward to anyone who has already eaten with her. She stares at Rito from time to time and she quickly turns her face so he would not notice that she was looking at him blushing all the time. To stop that awkward lunch, she decided to start a conversation, but she wasn't sure what to say. For some awkward reason even though she knew him she had difficulty speaking anything to him, thinking that anything she speaks he was gonna hate him. Her imagination had somehow gotten the best of her, playing multiple different scenarios...

" How was your day? " She asked shyly.

He then grabbed Lala by the throat and smashed her into the nearest wall, killing her on contact.


" How was your day?" She asked shyly.

Rito looked at her with hatred and crossed the arms.

"Are you stupid or something?" He answered with a hatred voice. "I hate you for asking something like that!"

He then picked up a sofa and smashed Lala through the wall with said sofa.


"How was your day?" She asked shyly.

Rito looked at her in the eyes and then lasers come out from his eyes, frying her eyes in the process.


Reality

"Ho-Ho-How was your day?" She asked shyly avoiding eye contact and weaving her fingers.

"It was good. Trained played ball with the Mea..." he answered before putting food in your mouth. "I think she is starting to like here."

"Ah... that's good." She said quietly. "A-and w-what are you going to do after lunch?"

Rito stared at Lala for a second, staring her down analytically. He then unsheathed his katana that he had hidden in the leg of his pants and stabbed Lala.


Rito started to laugh that and pointing his finger to her thinking she was so stupid to ask something like that. Not only that but suddenly many unknown people appeared from nowhere and started to laugh and pointing their fingers at her.


He transformed into a black dragon and shot a fire blast at Lala, incinerating the poor girl.

"Also we're not friends anymore." cackled Rito.


Reality

She said quietly. "A-and w-what are you going to do after lunch?"

"I have training later but I think I still have some time to play with Sakura after lunch." Rito answered normally.

After that Lala thought it was the best not ask anything else, who knows maybe she would have to face an apocalypse.


"So what's her personality today?" Kazuhira asked while Rito was punching the sandbag.

"I don't know for sure. But she seemed pretty shy today. It seemed she had difficulty to speak anything." Rito said. "At least nothing bad happened to me."

"Ah! It seems she is like one of those shy girls today... So tell me: Of those different personality she had, which did you like the most?" Kazuhira asked smiling.

"The shy girl. Absolutely." Rito answered without taking a second to think.

Heh... So you like a shy woman?" Asked the blond man smirking.

"That's not the point!" Rito said blushing a little. "It's just... today she is actually behaving more like a normal person, that's all. There is nothing about I like shy girls or not."

"Whatever." Kaz said smiling at him. "I will now help Yami with her hooks. If you need anything let me know."

'... Although... When I left home and she said goodbye with that shy smile... I thought ... It was cute.' He thought while he blushing a little more.


Rito sighed when he got home. It had been a hard day but he was glad that the week was almost over and that Lala would return to normal in a few hours. He enters the house and found Lala and Mikan sitting on the couch.

"Ah! Hello, Rito." Mikan said who was sitting on the couch in the right corner of the couch. "We are going to watch a movie that Lala chose, you want to watch?"

"B-B-but if you don't, we can watch another movie." Lala said all flustered and blushing at the same time.

"Sounds good to me. If you chose it must be something good." And he said, scratching behind his head.

Lala smiled at his answer. They started watching the movie but during, Lala looked discreetly at him to see if he was enjoying. Fortunately for her, he seemed to be enjoying. It was an action film that told the story of a playboy billionaire philanthropist genius who decides to stop selling weapons of mass destruction to become a superhero. But one of the times, when she turned to look at him, her eyes met his. He had turned his face because he had felt that something was wrong and ended up looking around. In panic she started to blush even more.

'What do I do now? Did he discover that I was watching him the whole time?' She thought turning all red face.

'Did she also felt something strange going on?' Rito thought. 'I hope it's nothing bad.'

He returned to watch the movie while she lowered her head. The rest of the movie was fun for those who watched, but not for those who stared at the ground in shame.

"It was a fun movie, didn't you think?" Mikan said after they finished the movie.

"I really liked, especially in that scene with the tank missile." Rito said a bit excited. "And you Lala?"

"Oh... well... I... I..." Lala said not sure what to say since didn't watch the movie. "That scene at the end where the hero lives happily ever after while the man dressed like frog saves the world with his super jump."

Both siblings raised an eyebrow because they had not seen that scene.

"Well... I'll prepare dinner before it gets too late. I will leave you two alone." Mikan said leaving the living room and going into the kitchen.

Lala was dying of shame, she not only did not end up seeing the film but also everyone realized that she had not seen the movie. She was also thinking that the love of her life, was thinking that she was some kind of stalker with some kind of brain decease.

"You know Lala... Compared to other days... I really liked to spend some time with you today... You were fun..." he said looking at her and breaking the train of thought of her. "But... I miss the old happy Lala... I know I am asking too much but I want her back..."

Rito I... do not know exactly what you're talking about because I do not remember the other days... But... Do not worry, Rito. I promise that nothing bad will happen to you. I'll be fine tomorrow." She said confident.

Rito tried to believe her... But a terrible surprise awaited him.

Saturday, Rito wakes up normally. He blinks a few times to understand what day it was. Finally it was the day that it would end. He got out of his bed and went to change his clothes, but in the middle of him putting his pants, a tremor occurs making him fall to the ground.


"Oh what-?" He asked wondering what was happening. "An earthquake? Now?"

He gets up quick, put his pants and leaves the room. After leaving, he finds Mikan in the hall of the second floor.

"Did you feel that?" The brunette asked to her brother.

"Yes." Rito said concerned about the situation. "Quick, we have to get out of here. Let's call Lala and go."

Mikan agreed and the two entered in Lala's room. They came in and were surprised seeing Lala's back. Until there nothing strange, but what was strange was what she was wearing: She was wearing a white armor on her torso, dual golden shoulder guards, a pink jumpsuit under her armor, white gloves and white boats. She turns to them.

"Oh it isn't the beta male and his sister?" Lala said in a mocking tone.

Behind her, there were several robots and it seemed improved versions of those who attacked them in the hot spring.

" Lala... What are these robots?" Rito asked.

"Hmph... These are my servants, they will help me a lot today." Lala said smiling.

"Help with what?" Mikan asked afraid of the answer.

"I'll use to conquer this planet. These robots are superior to any type of weapon that this miserable planet has. Soon it will be part of my empire. Because I'm Lala Satalin Deviluke, princess of all Devilukeans! Hahahaha!" She said with an air of superiority.

"Lala what you are planning to do... It's crazy!" Rito said indignant. "What about all the people who live on this planet? And your friends?"

"Do not worry. I won't hurt my friends." She said leaving them a little relieved. "If you submit to my reign but all those who stay against me, will be exterminated and those who survive will become slaves... Maybe if you behave yourself, I will turn you into my personal slave."

"Okay, we wish you good luck, now, Lala, we better leave you alone!" Mikan said pulling Rito's arm.

"Now hold on a second..." He fought against her trying to stay there.

"Now!" She ordered him.

Mikan pulls him out of the room which, Lala raises an eyebrow thinking that that was suspicious. Rito tries to understand why she did that.

"Now explain to me why you did this? We need to convince her to stop." Rito said not understand.

"No! What you need to do is go to the doctor and get the medicine." Mikan said leaving him calmer.

"...You're right." He said calmer.

"Go… I'll keep an eye on her. I send a message in case something happens." Mikan said confident.

"Are you sure?" He said worried about his sister. "It might get dangerous here."

" Do not worry, I can take care of myself." She said punching on his arm. "Now go!"

He nods and leaves.

Running he managed to arrive on Ryoko Mikado's clinic in 10 minutes.

"Mikado-sensei! Mikado-sensei!" Rito shouted desperate.

She opens the door just wearing the coat and a lingerie.

"Who is the one stopping my sleep of Saturday?" Mikado said after seeing who it was. "What is it? It's still so early."

"Gaaah Sensei you need to stop answering the door like that!" He shouted closing her eyes and blushing at the same time.

"Ah, but aren't you gonna miss seeing my body like this?" Mikado said in a teasing tone.

Rito just got his face more red.

"Sensei! Do not talk that sort of thing!" He said.

'Hihihi ... It is so easy to irritate him.' The alien thought laughing to herself.

"Forget it. We have a much more important situation than that!" He said very serious.

"It has to do with Lala?" Asked Mikado. "If the answer is yes, I'm afraid I'll have to say that the remedy will only arrive in 1 hour."

"One hour!? We don't have all this time!" He said desperately.

"Calm down! Why are you so desperately? It's not the end of world..." She said wondering why such a hurry.

'But it may be.' Rito thought desperate.

They enter the clinic and Rito explains the situation but Mikado did not seem too worried.

"I do not think it is serious." Mikado said. "And even if she conquers the earth I think it wouldn't be so bad."

Rito rolled his eyes not believing what he heard.

"What are you saying, doctor?" He said wanting to put some sense on the doctor. "We have to cure the flu immediately and prevent the destruction of the world!"

"But perhaps if Lala dominate this planet, it would be better administered. After all you humans have not done a good job on taking care of this planet." Mikado-sensei commented. "Looks more like you want to destroy the planet."

"Can we discuss this later? I do not want to see a global war caused by Lala today." Rito said.

"Anyway we have to wait to get the vaccine." She said leaving there and going to the room to change her clothes.


After waiting an hour, which seemed to take forever to pass, they finally delivered the vaccine. However, when Rito was receiving the package outside of the house, he saw smoke coming out with a strange aspect coming out not to far away from there.

'Oh no...' Rito thought

He did not think twice and runs toward the smoke not even saying goodbye to the teacher. Seeing the smoke, Rito got a bad feeling thinking that something bad is going to happen. And for his unhappiness, he was right. Lala marched with several robots next to her. Luckily she had not attacked any humans yet only destroying some trash cans and and abandoned houses. But she was already a block away from where several people lived.

"Lala!" Rito shouted stopping in front of her.

" Oh if it isn't the lower class warrior? I should have known you'd try something to stop me." Lala said crossing his arms.

"Where is the Mikan?" He asked worried.

"I'm here!" Mikan said appearing on the scene and making her brother look at her. " I waz following them. Glad you came."

"Hmph more worms that will try to stop me. Now let's see your power levels." The princess said taking something out of her pocket that looked like a monocle with a green screen. She placed in the left eye and began to read.

"What is that?" Mikan asked raising an eyebrow.

"This is the Scounter-Scounter-number-kun. It gives numbers of someone's power level." Lala explained.

"Now let's start with Rito... 1300 ... Now the girl... 500" Lala said smiling then. "Hahahaha you think you'll beat me with that insignificant power?"

"So let's leave things more interesting."

Then someone appears next to Rito Mikan and carrying a katana.

"Mea-chan!" Rito said happy to see her.

"So what we have here, Onii-chan?" Mea asked who smiled slightly.

"Lala is trying to destroy the world, we need to stop by injecting this vaccine!" Rito said showing three needles.

"So one for each." Mikan said stealing a needle.

"H-hey! You're not going participate!" Rito said angry with what she did.

"No! You can try to make me not participate but I want Lala back as much as you. So do not come to me with this 'I do not want your help.'" Mikan responded just angry as him.

"You can call as many people as you want, you'll never beat my robots and me." Lala said snapping her fingers.

Hundreds of robots appeared in front of her protecting her, Rito then bites his lip.

'Damn if I still had the medallion here.' Rito thought a little worried.

"Onii-chan..." Mea said calling his attention. "I'm gonna open her defenses by destroying the robots, you use this opportunity to take care of her."

Rito understood and prepared himself, little did he know that Mikan also heard and planned something own her own.

Mea starts attacking the robots. The robots were tough but Mea was more. But she felt that if she could use all her powers she could finish faster. Meanwhile robots tried to attack Rito with their drills and laser cannons that were on the right shoulder. Although he was not as fast as Mea and fails to perform the flash-step he was faster than the robots thanks to training of Mea and Kaz.

'Tsk... If I did not have to hide my identity, I would have finished them quickly.' Mea thought. 'I also have to restrain my urge to kill…"

Then 8 robots come together behind her and shoot with their laser cannons. Mea glance what they had planned but it was too late to divert then she prepares for the impact.

BANG!

Dense smoke covers where she was.

"Mea!" Rito shouted concerned about Mea, turning his head where she was.

After dust was settled, Mea appeared with just some scratches and some parts her clothes of torn.

"Oh my here I was thinking that you had stronger lasers." She said mocking robots. "Onii-chan pay attention on your mission I can take care of myself."

Rito nodded and continued.

"Damn. They are only and we are still losing." Lala said gritting her teeth. "It's just like they said: if you want a job well done do it yourself."

"... Lala-sama ..." Peke said calling her attention. "I know I'm a robot that must serve at all costs... But I can't allow it this anymore... You're not the same... I want my master back."

Peke ceases to be the armor of the top and turned into a straitjacket. Peke ties her arms with full strength holding Lala movements. She began to struggle trying to get rid of.

"How dare stand against me?" Lala cursed as she tried to free herself. "I will turn you into ashes when I get my hands on you."

Peke was making a tremendous effort to hold Lala.

"Alright, Peke!" He said seeing what the robot had done.

But with the boy's distraction, one of the robots holds his right arm.

'Damn.' Rito thought as he tried to free his arm.

"How much longer do you think you can keep me like this?" Lala shouted.

"Just enough time to give you the vaccine!" Mikan revealed appearing next Lala.

Seeing that Lala was using all robots to protect her, Mikan walked around the block where was able to approach smoothly. Mikan with the needle in her hand prepared to give the injection...

But...

"Do not think it will be so easy!" Lala shouted angrily giving a good kick at Mikan throwing her away.

Time slow down for Rito as he saw his sister being thrown towards the wall.

"Mikan!" Rito shouted in despair.

All his training and he couldn't do a thing. Mikan hit the neck and back of her head against the wall… Now the wall was painted in red blood. Mea cuts the robot arm which was holding Rito freeing him. Without a second later, they go to Mikan which the intention of saving her. Mikan was unconscious with blood coming out from her head and mouth.

"Onii-chan ... I don't think she is breathing." Mea said concerned.

"Mea... Take Mikan to Mikado-sensei NOW." Rito shouted in order tone never seen before. "I'll take care of Lala."

"But..." Mea said.

"Shut up and go!" He shouted closing his fists trying to contain the rage.

Her eyes widened seeing the anger on his eyes, not wanting to cause more trouble she obeys. Rito clench his hands so hard that started to bleed. His eyes were angry… there was hatred in those eyes... and sadness. The Lala's scouter then started capture an increase in the boy's power level... and was increasing fast.

"Impossible... His power level is skyrocketing 6200... 7000... and is still going up!" Lala said in shock.

Rito fix his eye on Lala.

"It's over 9000!" She said surprise while at the same time picking the scouter with left hand and destroying.

The robots start to attack Rito but he dodges and passes through them all by using properly the flesh-step for the first time. Just seconds after he was just a few meters away from Lala who was still trapped by the robot.

"Now you think you can make a difference? I will squash you like bug that you are just like I did to your sister!"

Lala tries to kick Rito but he dodges and grabs her neck.

"You MONSTER!" Rito yelled angry.

He lifts her by the neck and throws her on the floor. Perhaps the story could get much bloodier or worse if had forgotten that it was Lala. Fortunately he saw it was her but that did not stop him putting the needle on her forehead and inject. Lala loses consciousness after the injection.

Lala was lying on the ground unconscious; the robots that attacked our heroes are on standby waiting for orders. Soon the time then closes and the time it starts to rain... As if someone up there was crying for something he saw. The drops fall gently touching the girl's face. Slowly her eyes open but she blinks a few times trying to process what was going on. She slowly got up and looked at those robots.

"What are these robots?" Lala asked confused.

"You... You created them... Lala-sama." Peke said. "Your temperature has decreased... This means that your flu is gone!"

"Flu?" She said placing a hand on her forehead. "Hm... I remember that I was not feeling well and then… I don't remember anything else... Where is everybody? Where's Rito?"

"... You better go to Mikado-sensei's clinic..." Peke said not fiding the right words to say.

Not liking the tone of his robot companion, Lala ran to the clinic. She didn't bother with the robots that were there, nor that she was getting wet because of the rain, she only wanted to know what was going on. She was having a bad feeling that she couldn't shake it off. Once there, she comes across with the following scene: Ryoko Mikado Head down, she had that look when someone had failed… Mea was lost... not knowing what to do... and then Rito... was on his knee.

"Rito?" Lala said no having any idea of what was happening.

Rito didn't hear, something was going through his head that kept him away from interacting with anyone there.

'There is a scream that can't be silenced. It is rising, growing louder and louder. It is a scream of a child abandoned, suddenly long ago. As the scream echoed then in that alley on that afternoon that changed my life, it echoes now in my mind. Penetrates all the dark places. It slams into the loss. It bounces against regret... and the pain. She is gone... I'm abandoned again. My sister is dead…'


Note: Suddenly like the day turns night, the story has a dark turn of event… How our heroes will deal with that? What's going to happen? From now on?

Please don't hate me for what I just done… It was necessary for what I plan next…


Miknel-san: Yeah… It was a bit difficult to find a good personality to be a one that really shows something very different from the others… So yeah… I was serious… I hope I didn't crossed the line with this chapter.

coolosus1: Wow! Nice! You discovered all of them! Have Cyber cookie… Can you discover the others? The only that I really based on a character was the one from Friday…

CodeDxD: Yeah you're right! I think that all males should be a little a afraid of Yanderes… They are crazy… Hope you don't give up after reading this chapter…

Nintendoes Gamer: Yeah it was literally based on that episode but I put my touch so you don't feel like it's exactly the same… and with a sad touch in the end…


I don't feel I want to talk anymore…

See you next time…
