Author's Notes: Ok, so I got hooked on writing. Sorry? oo;

The Sign

Zero walked along the corridors so early in the morning, making sure that he's the first to attend the practice.

"Ha-ha! I'm sure I'd be the first one to arrive there." Zero evilly laughed as he walked towards the door to the training hall.

The candidate opened the door with a loud "Bwahahaha!" to go with his cheerful aura. He then opened his eyes and to his surprise, everyone was staring at him.

"Candidate 88, three seconds late, huh? That's an improvement. An improvement that still causes deduction for your evaluation." Azuma scolded.

"WHAAA! But my watch says that I'm ten minutes earlier than the assigned time... How come—"

"Better get new batteries for that watch."

Zero slapped his face with his hand "What could be wrong..Whatcouldbewrong?" He took off his watch and observed it carefully.

"Stop wasting time and get to your position." The instructor ordered coldly.

"Yeah yeah."

"4, 3, 2, 1?" Hiead uttered with a playful tone.

"IT'S YOU AGAIN!!!" Zero held Hiead on his colar. Hiead slapped Zero's hand off.

"Calm down, Zero." Clay worriedly whispered as he held Zero down.

"Clay, give him a kiss to calm him down." Hiead walked back to his position.

"Huh? What was that?" Clay raised an eyebrow.

"Shut up or I'll ban you three from training."

"Eh??" Zero pouted then preceded to his original position.

"4...3...2...1..." Hiead continued to tease Zero.

"YOU SHUT UP!!!"

"What was that, 88? Kindly repeat that." Azuma gazed at the candidate with his eyes reflecting so much anger.

"N...Nothing." Zero replied.

"You are not to attend the training for two days."

"B... But..." Zero said in defeat.

"He said 'YOU SHUT UP!' I guess..." Interrupting the conversation, Hiead mocked Zero's statement.

"Both of you are not to attend the training for two days." Azuma pulled the two candidates out.

Zero's POV

"Great. Now what?" I hate it when he causes trouble. That Hiead. Just when I thought that I was beginning to like him, he comes up with a reason for me to hate him.

"Don't worry. I'd be going to bed today. Not in the mood, I believe."

'Not in the mood' Hell, he speaks as if I'd always let him do it to me. "Do what you want just stay away from me."

"Hnn..." He paced away from me and continued to our room.

Roose suddenly approaches me. Gasping for breath, if I may add. "Zero-kun! Matte!"

"What's up, Sawamura? Aren't you supposed to be in the training hall?"

"I was late. I can't find Yamagi anywhere... Have you seen him?"

"Well, yeah. You know him, always in time...unlike me who actually thought that I was early."

"Errr...?"

"I got kicked out of the room for being stupid." I laughed.

Roose scratched his head and shyly said, "I woke up late."

I gave him a pat in the shoulder. "That's just normal! Since we're not allowed to attend then we might as well nourish ourselves with the cafeteria's mouth-watering stuff." Sarcasm ruled over my words. The food in the cafeteria wasn't even fit to be called 'food.' The taste is indescribable. Or should I say that it didn't have taste at all.

"Ok."

With that, Roose and I proceeded to the cafeteria. We walked and passed by a few latecomers. As we did, a crazy question pops out of head. "How do you know when you've found the right person for you?"

"Huh?" Roose blushed.

"Well... You should know. I mean..." I playfully poked his chest.

Roose shyly blinked at me. He was so cute. It was good that he lost some of his fat. "Ya-Ma-Gi!" I teased him around.

"Uh... Well... I... Don't... Well..." Roose was red all over. He stared ahead and stammered timidly.

"Come on."

"I... I don't really know. I just...well... I asked for signs."

"Signs? Like how does that work?" I asked with curiosity. Signs? I wasn't expecting that. What does he mean by 'signs?'

"Uh... Well... I asked for sign... Like... If someone would offer me a candy which is so not possible, then he's the one."

"What? Then Yamagi did... Right?"

"Yeah... I don't know where he got it but... I guess it works. Plus, he's nice and all..." I saw a smile from Roose's lips. He looked cute. I'm not attracted to him or anything. I just envy his youthful nature. Lucky bastard Yamagi.

"Oh... It may be simple but that's destiny, I presume!" I winked.

Roose gazed at me with an inquisitive look on his face, "Why were you asking such things? Are you in doubt or is there somebody... uh well... If you don't mind me asking..."

"Ah well... Yeah..." I giggled.

"Oh..."

"I need to think of a good sign."

"You should think of something that's not really possible. Of course, if this person fulfills the sign then... That person is the one."

"Help me think! Help me think!"

"Uh... I don't know..."

What kind of sign is not possible? Hrm... Hiead does impossible things... What could be more not possible than impossible? ARGHGHH...

...

I stopped to think for a few seconds more...

"AH-HAH! I GOT IT!" I raised my thumb and my teeth sparkles!

"Good for you."

"PornPornPorn! I bet he won't watch such things... Cause he thinks that he's an expert!!!"

Roose almost fainted. He was perfectly red!!! RedRedRed all over. Everyone in the cafeteria turned to look at me.

Ok... So that wasn't really a good thing to shout out. How dumb of me.

I ran off to our room.

I pushed the door open.

"Can you at least keep the door shut? I'm quite busy here." Hiead demanded.

"Uhhh" A loud sound came.

What the hell was that? Moans? Was he raping other candidates besides me?

"Uh... Ohhh!" That sound again...

I kept my mouth shut.

"Ooohhh!!" and again...

By the time that my curiosity began to overcome me, I already stepped forward to see what it was.

"Whaaa?"

"Shh..."

"What's that?!"

"A Video clip from that forbidden data file entitled GOA scandal. Well... I accidentally downloaded it so I might as well watch it. Care to watch it with me?" HHe naughtily said.

WAS THAT... WAS THAT?? Was that actually some sort of porn video clip!!! Oh my!!! The sign. The sign!

I rushed to him and pounced over him.

"Ow." He rubbed his head. "What was that for?"

"Nothing. Let's just watch and learn, shall we?"

Tbc.
