Episode 03: Mannen and Kurono

"But why was he hurt? Wasn't it me who battled?" Kurono asked. "Stupid..." Mannen looked at her with a pale look, "We are your sword and also your shield at the same time." He lost sight, "But you did ok..."

She looked out the window. Her eyes were trembling. She turned and looked at her younger sister, Hikari in bed. "Hikari..." her eyes were narrowed. She the heard chuckles and she turned out the window. She saw her father with another sexy woman outside. She shut the window and walked over to her bed, "Hikari... I'll protect you..." She smiled.

Kurono stood on the school porch with her school bag on her back. She yawned with her mouth wide. "Did anyone told you that it's rude to yawn widely?" She turned and saw serious Mannen. His expression transformed, "Oh no! Because you are the Evil Rono that doesn't listen to advises." He puffed.

She faced him, she was a cm shorter then him, "Oh thank you for reminding. I am very grateful." Their eyes were narrowed. "You're welcome..." He replied back and there was a thunder strike between them. Everyone in the surrounding shared the same sweat drop. Both Kurono and Mannen can't be mixed. They turned with harrumphed and walked in.

Kurono looked out through the window and still thinking about yesterday. What is Pretear? Why a girl like her would was selected? Why are the Leafe Knights the shield and the sword? She has so many questions to ask. She messed up her hair annoyed and slammed the table; "This curiosity is irritating me!"

The teacher on the white board had veins popping out and threw the eraser to her. It hit towards her face and the white dusts were all over her face. She blinked. "Mono Kurono, on the hall!" The teacher pointed. She moved away from her desk, "My pleasure..." She left the classroom and it went dead silent. Mannen hrmed.

She stood outside with two buckets filled with water. She looked through the window and started daydreaming. When all classes were over, everyone passed her and she didn't seem to be aware about it. She blinked when she realized the sun was already orange. She snapped and sighed, "Why am I dozing off today?"

She headed towards the school gate and saw two boys waving at her with an older one standing. "Kuro nee-chan!" They ran towards her, "Let's go home together." She looked at them and then looked at the older one; Mannen, "Were you waiting for me?"

He turned with veins, "Who would?" She started laughing out loud, "I know. No one would wait for me! Never." He snapped, never? She walked away holding hands with Hajime and Shin. He looked at her, "What's that supposed to mean?" He followed from behind.

Hajime and Shin were eating ice cream with Kurono walking on the streets. They were skipping at the same time. Mannen popped from behind, "Why do I have to pay?" They were pushed down. "Because your salary is more higher than mine," She replied innocently, "I have to work for my family."

"Family?" He repeated and his eyebrow shot up, "I didn't know you have a family." He was hit to the wall. Hajime and Shin stared at him, "Sugoi..." They had sweat drops.

She walked away, "Of course I have. I have an adorable young sister and a crazy drunk father." "How about your mother?" Mannen moved away from the wall slowly and she stopped at the end. They looked at her. She had a frustrated look. "She died 10 years ago." Her words were depressing.

"I am so sorry…" Mannen looked down from behind with Shin and Hajime. She then smiled after turning, "It's ok." She looked different. She looked 'happy' and 'sweet'. She opened her eyes and saw them staring at her. Her eyes transformed, "What are you looking at?"

"Oh nothing!" They all started to panik and Mannen looked at her as she talked rebelliously with the boys. He felt a different aura from him. He had a blush when he looked at her smile, a different often smile. She looked shinny even though her name meant black and dark. He looked away and scratched his chin,

Kurono immediately snapped and held onto herself with sweat drops, "W-what is this feeling?" "Kuro onee-chan?" The boys reacted back concerned and she fell to her knees. "It feels…" She pointed and squeezed her eyes, "so Painful!"

"That means," Mannen looked around, "Monster Spider is around!" Shin looked at the trees and nodded, "Um, even the trees aren't happy about it." Kurono's eyes suddenly open wide and looked at Hajime. She saw something but she didn't saw them clearly. "HAJIME!!" She screamed and jumped towards Hajime.

A spider's leg popped out of no where that held on Kurono's waist, made her screamed in pain. "Kurono onee-chan!!" They screamed. She screamed louder when it was sucking her leafe. "Kurono!" Mannen yelled.

"Ha-hajime…" Kurono offered out a hand, "Merge with me please!" He snapped and nodded, "Hai!" He held her hand and a huge light occurred between that hit the spider away. Shin and Mannen changed floating through the air. "Kurono!"

Kurono floated just away from them wearing a blue water sweater kind. She didn't ask nor wondered. She kinda get what she was doing. "Shin, barrier!" Mannen looked at him. He nodded and held up his arms, A barrier field shut them in while Shin and Mannen started to attack it.

Kurono flew around. "Onee-chan, find the core!" Hajime said from inside. "I am trying too," She replied looking around and all of a sudden she was hit away. Hajime screamed. "Hajime, are you all right?" She screamed concerned, "Hajime!" "U-uh… I am okay, onee-chan…" His voice was weak and her eyes trembled. Why is she so useless? Why can't she think?

She screamed blocking her with a water fountain as the spider attacked her. "Sheild?" Mannen pointed, "She can use shield?" She spotted the core and jumped from above, "Waterfall rapids!" A swirl of water headed towards the core and the spider cracked into two.

Kurono opened her eyes and saw Shin and Mannen helping Hajime. "Hajime!" She ran over to him and held on his shoulders, "Are you all right? Are you? Are you hurt?" Hajime smiled and there were blood streaming on his stomach, "I am okay, one-chan." "No you're not!" She screamed and there were tears, somehow, flowing down her cheeks, "You're bleeding!"

She hugged Hajime tight, "I am so sorry… I should have confidence… I won't let you hurt next time… I promise…" "one-echan?" Hajime looked surprised and she was sobbing. Mannen never saw her crying before, she was usually strong, rebellious and evil but now, she was actually has a weak heart that would eventually cry at the end.

Somewhere in the dark, the long curly haired lady looked furious. "There shouldn't be a new Pretear!" She slammed the table and crashed down. "I need… more… leafe…" She groaned and a small core behind her gave colorful power that she seemed to like it. She moaned. "Don't you worry. I will get all the leafe in this world!" A man voice said coming from the core. The one eye blinked.
