Author's Notes: I do not own Gatekeepers!
Chapter Two: Deception
"This is too boring to be true…" Ukiya Shun sighed. It was lunchtime and the gang was gathered at the school terrace.
"At least Japan is safe for now," Ikusawa Ruriko said, reassuringly.
"Ahh! I had no idea the third year was going to be this hard." Bancho said.
"Soo….I kinda miss Reiko_san." Fei said, sighing as well.
"Chotto! Matte!" Kaoru said, standing up in front of them. "Just think of school life as our mission now!"
"demo…..I kinda hoped the Invaders were still around," Ukiya said, "and Kageyama was still…" He shook his head.
"Ukiya sempai! Don't act that way!" Kaoru said.
"Kageyama…" Megumi, who has been silent, interjected. "It's so…mortifying."
"Kurogane_san," Ruriko said, "Don't worry about it. It's over and done now."
"Now that the invaders are gone, does that mean our scholarships will be terminated?" Fei said, eyes wide.
"Sona! We saved Japan!" Ukiya replied.
"I looked good on TV" Bancho said.
"I can't believe many people saw us on television!" Ruriko said, putting her hands on her cheeks. "It was so embarrassing!"
Ukiya's eyes narrowed. "You liked being on television, Rurippe. Why don't you admit it?" He cried out as Ruriko punched him across the face.
"Don't call me RURIPPE!!!" Ruriko said, angrily.
"The most important question is, what do we do now?" Kaoru asked.
To this, everyone sighed.

Ruriko removed her shoes as she entered the house. She spied a large bundle of mail in the corner. She took it and scanned the addressed, surprised to find one for her. She picked it up and read it.
'I have something important to tell you. Meet me by the docks. Tonight.
-Itsumo, Itsumademo
Ukiya_kun
Ruriko blushed. She looked at the clock, it was already 5:30. She raced up the stairs to her room, debating in her mind what she would wear.
@--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ruriko looked around the docks, which was almost deserted. She looked at her watch. 6:30. She forgot that Ukiya didn't mention an exact time in his letter. The two seamen left the pier, laughing, leaving Ruriko totally alone in the docks. It was now getting darker and the light from the post lit up and died repeatedly giving an eerie feeling to the place. The waves crashing into the docked boats created a noise that was ominous in Ruriko's ears. She put her arms around herself as a cool breezed passed her.
Suddenly, someone from behind her put his arms around her waist. It took her by surprise at first but then she said, "Ukiya_kun, you're such a jest." She tried to turn around but the person held her tighter, disabling motion. Ruriko's heart started to beat faster.
"Ukiya_kun what are you doing?" She held the hands to take them away from her waist but then she froze. The hands were cold, not like Ukiya's warm hands.
"Who are you?" Ruriko asked.
"Long time no see, Ruriko san."
Ruriko gasped. "Kageyama_kun! You're…."
"Alive?" Kageyama laughed. An evil laugh indeed.
Ruriko's scream pierced the night and was cut short as a black ring enveloped them both, and then they disappeared.

"Is this her?" Izuka looked at the girl who was unconscious before her.
"Isn't it obvious?" Kageyama said. "You two can pass for twins."
Izuka giggled. "I guess so." She lifted Ruriko's head and out her arms around her neck and held her close.
"We are one…." Izuka whispered and both were enveloped in a white light.
Kageyama turned his head away from the blinding light. After a few seconds, he cautiously opened them to find Ruriko looking at her hands.
"Ah…Izuka?" Kageyama asked.
Izuka, now in Ruriko's body said, "I've forgotten how beautiful it is to have a body." She looked at Kageyama. "It was certainly easy for you to find her."
"She was…. an acquaintance." Kageyama answered casually.
"Won't her friends look for her?" Izuka asked.
"Don't worry," Kageyama assured her, smiling. "Leave them to me."
