Chapter 3: It Happen All Too Fast

Sitting in the room of darkness except a candle light beside her, she sat on her most comfortable red couch. She had pretty blue eyes and light brown hair. Her clothes were very elegant that fit her slim body.

"So…" the lady spoke in a soft voice "no sign of any powers of the goddess?" Her assistants, who were standing a few feet away from her, shook their heads.

"I see… but Tooya's responsible for this cuz he was with Aya longer than my other assistant. Have you protected her well?" The lady stood up and came closer to Tooya.

"Yes… Miss Suzuno…" Tooya answered. The lady smiled.

"Good. I don't want to see something strange happening to her. You must try not to let her be shock, scare, angry and others that are negative. Her powers can show out anytime due to all these effects. Get it?" Lady Suzuno (Miss Suzuno) sat down again. The assistants just nodded obediently.

"I see… and remember your rules. Never fall in love with anybody you're protecting. Cuz if you get caught in love,… your powers will be taken away," Lady Suzuno said in a serious tone. Her assistants nodded again.

"And now is…" Lady Suzuno looked at the grandfather clock "is 5.00 am. It's now time for all of you to sleep. Clear away all evidence so that the goddess won't notice anything from you."

Aya and Tooya were walking back to school under the hot sun. As Aya couldn't stand the heat, she decided to buy an ice cream.

"I'm going to buy an ice-cream. You stay here. Would you like any, Tooya-san?" Aya asked politely. Her hair fluttered with the wind. She looked really pretty.

Tooya shook his head. Aya quickly cross the road. Suddenly, something unexpected happen to her.

As she was in the middle of the road, the walking traffic light turned red. A car was racing towards Aya. The driver didn't see Aya as he was talking on his handphone.

Tooya tried to warn Aya but something stopped him from doing so. As the car came closer, a shadow from above pushed Aya away just a few inches away from the car. The driver was shocked when he saw what happened and stopped with a screech.

The golden brown hair girl was shocked too when a guy suddenly grabbed her. Luckily, her powers weren't out yet. However her visions got blurrer and blurrer due to the sudden shock. She couldn't recognize who the guy was but knew it wasn't Tooya cuz the guy's hair was the same colour as Aya's.

She suddenly felt something strange in her. Like something was changing herself into another person. And then, she fainted. The guy quickly put her at the side of the road and left while Tooya quickly rushed to Aya.

Up on the rooftops, a shadow disappeared swiftly.

Tooya sat beside Aya's hospital bed. He looked at Aya who was sleeping soundly. Then, a man walked in.

"Great job, guy. I wish I had sharp eyes like you," Tooya teased the man. The man smiled back.

"Well, you have sharp hearing so is fair and square for both of us," the guy replied back. Suddenly, Aya stirred.

"Oops… time to leave! I'll leave this pretty goddess to you!" as he disappeared. Tooya was feeling quite sleepy at that time so he thought the goddess would not wake up so fast.

A few minutes later, Aya woke up feeling a little dizzy. She wanted to have a quench of thirst but there was no cup of water on the table. At first, she wanted to wake Tooya up to accompany her to the hospital kitchen (watever is it, but I mean there's water over there). But when she saw the snoring Tooya, she silently left her room.

The corridor was really quite and there wasn't a nurse around. Aya looked at her watch. It was already 10.30 p.m. "So late!" Aya thought to herself. She searched for the hospital kitchen and a few minutes later, she found one.

As she was about to drank a glass of water when something hit her head. The glass dropped and a tinkling sound was heard. A shadow carried Aya away out of the window.

Tooya woke up with a shock when he heard the sound. The first thing he thought was that he hoped that wasn't Aya. But when he saw Aya's empty hospital bed, he quickly rushed to the kitchen.

He saw shattering pieces of glass on the floor and a bracelet. Tooya picked it up and on the bracelet was engraved with the name of Aya Mikage. A few nurses rushed to the kitchen, as they were afraid there was robbery. Tooya pushed away the nurses as he quickly left the hospital. If Lady Suzuno knows about this, he's totally dead (of course, you know what I mean, he's severely punished).

Suddenly, his handphone vibrated in his pocket. Tooya stopped moving and quickly took out the phone. Tooya hoped it won't be Lady Suzuno.

A/N: I'll be updating this story naybe in two or three weeks time! I'm really packed with a lot of work to do! Study, exams, parties, tuitions... you name it! I'm finding my story getting more boring and boring. And when you review, be honest of how my story is!
