Symphogear of the Wind

Chapter 2: A New Life

In the last chapter we met our protagonist Kosuki Uneru. And after a meeting with a mysterious Knight who saved him, and gave him a mask that would help him adapt to his new life. What troubles will he face, now that his old world has been turned on it's head?

We are Uneru

Waking up I look around to see that I'm in a classic japanese style building. Obviously built with modern necessities. Sitting up I'm dressed in the same clothes as last night, black T-shirt, blue jeans, and my albeit broken phone. Also a fresh set of new clothes, are set next to me. Getting up and I start to change into them.

?:(walks in) Ah… G-Good-

A girl with blue hair and dark blue eyes walks in. She has a side pony-tail on the left side of her head that is longer than the rest of her hair, which falls to just above her waist and cut straight. She's wearing a long sleeved shirt and a light blue skirt. "M...morning." She stares at me as I'm half naked. Both of our faces turn bright red as I fumble to the ground trying to change. While she quickly runs out of the room and closes the door. "I'm so sorry!" After changing into my new clothes, I open the door, to see where I am. In front of my room is a wide open garden, with a small pond the girl is crouched down next to it. Her hands cover her face. Phoo~ Ok try and make things up. Keep a cool. Keep a cool~

Uenru:(Bows) I-I'm sorry!

Way to go me. She turns around, and she bows as well. "N-No! I'm sorry! I didn't check if you were awake!" The two of us straighten as she points at me. "You were the kid last night." I give a nod as I scratch the back of my head.

Uenru:(sweatdrop) ...Ah! Right I never told you my name. My name is Kosuki Uneru.(bows) Nice to meet you!

Tsubasa:(Bows) Ah! My name is Kazanari Tsubasa. Nice to meet you as well.

We look at each other again, before we both start to chuckle. "We sound so alike." I say, she beams back a wonderful smile. "Well now that the two of you are acquainted I would like you to meet someone." Turning I see Yasuhiro with another man. This man is a tall and muscular man with gold eyes, spiky red hair, and a goatee. He is wearing a red dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up, a pink tie with its end tucked into the left breast pocket of his shirt, light beige slacks and black and blue athletic shoes.

Yatsu: This is my brother, and your now your adopted father Kazanari Genjuro.

Genjuro:(walks up) Nice to meet you…... I'm sorry for your parents death.

Right….I can't run from the fact that they're gone now. I forgot about it….Damn it... Lowering my head I could feel my tears well up. That's when Genjuro gives me a hug, his warmth it...it….it's hard to breath. I can't breath! I start beating on his back as I try gasping for air. "Uncle Genjuro!" "Hmm?"

Uneru:(out of breath) Balghsgs~

Genjuro:(sweatdrop) Ah.

Yatsu:(sighs) You gripped him to tightly.

"Hey Uneru! Wake up!" Ok. Today is gonna be long day...That much is sure. Mom...Dad? Is this for the best?

Location Change Genjuros home

I arrive at my new home. It's like Yatsuhiro's house, but it also looks to be some sort of Dojo? "Here's your new home Uneru. Let me show you around." Walking around, I find that this place is a man's home. "This is your new room. You may do with it as you please." Putting my stuff down I lay in the middle of the room, as I take in everything that's been happening over the past 48 hours. First my old home and family are taken away from me and killed, then I get adopted by a family that's from what I can see, is very rich. I meet there daughter and Yatsuhiro's brother, then I get moved into a new home in which I will be staying in.

Uneru:(Sighs) Why does my parents know such rich people? And why did they never tell me, about it?

After a while of pondering I decided to put it behind me. Sitting up I look over to a guitar that lies up to the wall. "Hmm?" Walking over to it I pick it up and I feel it. "This Guitar…(sees note) Hmm? This is from Uncle." Taking the note off and reading it, it says: Dear Uneru. I'm sorry for the sudden disappearance of our family but the work that your parents did forced us to move out of the country. But we were forced to leave you behind. Don't worry. No matter where we are, we will always be your family.

Uneru:(puts note down) I'm...Here alone. No family left.(starts to cry) Damn it….

"You're not alone." I turn to see Genjuro. "I know I may never be able to replace the part of your mother and father but I won't try to." Clenching the guitar in my arms I fall to my knees as I cry again. I'm so weak to still cry at this….

Time skip: 4 hours We are Observer.

Genjuro sits in the living room looking over some papers. "So is that the kid who was wrapped up in that gangs activity, is now your adopted son?" A man's voice asks as the White Knight walks out of the shadows. "Ah the Fragarach user. Morrigan Isabel." The armor flies into a white portal that appears above the knight revealing a woman with short brown hair, blue eyes, and a red velvet crystal around her neck. She has a flat chest, and she wears, a blue shirt, and long blue jeans.

Genjuro:(chuckles) Yes. But he seems quite attached to that speech you gave him.

Isabel:(sits down) Hey in the two decades I've been using this I've seen many like him. It gives someone like him comfort, from this dark world.(puts hand over mouth) *Cough!* *Cough!*(looks at hand) Well...Shit.

Genjuro:(concerned face) You mustn't use the Fargarch anymore. It will only kill you faster.

Isabel takes off the crystal and puts it on the table. Looking at the red blood on her hand she gives a sigh. "Yeah I know. At the very least I wish to find someone who could take it. I would like to at least train the person." Isabel leans back onto the ground with a sigh. The doors open and Uneru walks in. "Hey Genjuro when's...Oh who's he?" Isabel jolts back up in a seating position and slamming her fist onto the table.

Isabel:(annoyed) I'll have you know I'm a woman.

Uneru:(backs up) I-I…(bows) I'm sorry! You looked so much like a guy I thought you were a guy!

Isabel:(surprised) Gah!...(depressed lines) Right...It was because of my chest? Isn't it?

Uneru gives a little nod as Isabel slumps down more. "Uenru. What was it you were about to ask?" Genjuro asks, "I was going to ask when's Lunch?" Uneru asks, Isabel starts to sit up as well. "Oh? Mind if I join in? Might lift my spirits as well."

We are Uneru

Genjuro begins to laugh. "I see. It is around that time. I shall make lunch then." Isabel's face seems to brighten up. "Your lucky kid, his foods pretty good. Despite it being quite big." ….Big?

Time skip 45 minutes

"Here you are! Dig in!" Genjuro places down two massive plates of food. There's so much food! Can I even eat it all? 'Let this be your salvation!' The words of the White Knight echo through my head...I won't always have the pleasure of good food. I will pull through this and become stronger! I start to dig into the food.

Genjuro:(chuckles) Ha ha ha! I didn't even need to tell you.

Uneru:(looks up) Tell me phwat?(What?)

Isabel:(points to Uneru) Hey. Don't talk with your mouth full.

Genjuro:(cross arms) All a man needs is to eat a lot, sleep, and train.(points to Uneru) And you're training will start tomorrow!

Uneru:(coughs) Wh-wait what?

Oh great….Well I guess it couldn't be worse than yesterday…

The next day

…. "Good Morning Uneru!" The sheets covering me are pulled off of me. I slowly open my eyes and look to see Genjuro in running clothes. I look to the alarm clock next to me. "Wha-It's 5 AM?" Sitting up and rubbing my eyes, clothes are tossed on me. "Exactly. Bright and early! Were going for a run." ….Ok it's worse. Much worse. Changing into running clothes I'm rushed out onto the streets, and I start a run.

Time skip: 2 hours later

Arriving back at home, I fall to my knees gasping for breath. "Gen-Ju-ro...Can...We stop now?" Genjuro pats me on the back. "It's ok now. Were done. For now we are only doing runs." I sigh happily as I set off to the showers.

Time skip: 10 minutes later

Getting out of the shower I start to feel how sore I am. I've never have put my body through so much physical activities before now. I've kinda always been a bit of an quiet guy. Only around my parents do I feel comfortable talking. Altho I've been forced to further my limits, I head back to my room. Seeing the guitar I walk over and grab it. Taking the guitar pin I start to play a little with it. The more I play the more I got into it. Lyrics flow out of me like water down a river.

(Starts playing Fighter form: KANA-BOON) (English Lyrics form Lyrical Nonsense)

Somebody's screams are crumbling away...
Each time you step forward, you can hear sounds of pain.
You've grown so used to hearing the fragments of that wailing voice...
You've known from the start that it was your voice all along.

Your brilliance is fleeting,
Like a flower blooming on the battlefield.
So live beautifully, fair Warrior!

A lonely fighter,
Devoid of love... amidst unending decay...
Even if you can't reach eternity, (Oh woh~ Oh woh) keep on fighting!
Go now! To a world free of grief, sins, and pain...
Even if you can't reach eternity, reach out your hand, Fighter!

I stop, a face looks through the lines of the door…. "T-Tsubasa-san?" I ask as she turns away, the door opens wide as Isabel walks in. "Heh. Guess you had yourself an audience. That was pretty good kid. Ya mind if you sang a little more?" Pausing for a moment I nod and picking up the guitar I start to play again...Perhaps things could change. For the better.
