Pooch -- So I surprised you with Aion did I? Toldja you guys would never guess what his role is.

MisoGirl -- Your question is answered below.


For the first two weeks the gym teacher had been away sick. The school faculty hadn't been able to find a replacement, so the first gym class was starting today, much to the dismay of all the students. Especially the twins. They hadn't been able to come up with a legitimate excuse to get out of it, which left one question hanging over their heads; how were they supposed to explain the spine-guards going down their backs to the other guys when they had to hit the showers? They didn't have the ability to erase memories and they're telepathy wasn't strong enough for them to use it to keep people from noticing. They had no idea what to do.
"Alright children, do to a resent rise in crime levels you guys are going to learn self defense." The teacher announced.
Sebastian winced.
"So, has anyone here ever had any kind of martial arts training?"
Sebastian and Chrono hesitantly raised their hands. To the twins surprise so did Rosette, Joshua, Shader and Genai. But the six of them were the only ones to do so.
"Okay then, what levels are you guys?" The teacher asked.
Genai was the first to say, then Rosette, then Sebastian and Chrono, then Joshua and, finally, Shader – who turned out to be way past a black belt. Until then no one had known their were levels past that. The teacher had outright called her a liar. Then Shader's master – a well known martial artist – had shown up and confirmed the hyperactive girl's claims and even informed them that she was an assistant instructor at his dojo. The gym teacher wisely made her the assistant teacher for the self defense classes. At the insistence of the martial arts master.
The class went smoothly -- up until it was Chrono's turn to help demonstrate a self defense move. Thankfully though, he restrained himself enough that Tommy – the bully that had been bothering him that first day of school – had walked away with little more then a few bruises.
The teacher had given him a serious reprimand for it, but little more.
"Sorry, Miss Kate." Was all Chrono had said before joining the others in the showers – to find everyone staring at his brother's spine-guard.
He didn't seem to be bothered by it over much. But, then again, unless you were making an uncomplimentary comment about his appearance it took a lot to get under his brother's skin. The others turned to look at Chrono.
"Do you have one too?" Genai asked.
"Uh... Yeah..." The purple haired teen confirmed hesitantly.
"Cool." Genai said with a grin before turning around to go take a shower.
Chrono's eyes went wide. Genai has a spine-guard as well. Smiling, Chrono relaxed and and started undressing.


Every time... He thought sorely.
Every day at lunch time he and his brother lost track of each other.
More like he's deliberately ditching me... I wonder why he would do that though, he never used to...
Something hiked his shirt up in the back.
"Oh my gosh! He really does have a spine-guard! Come check it out!" The girl holding his shirt exclaimed.
A few seconds later and he had a large crowd at his back.
He tensed, a sweat springing out all over his body. Years of fighting simply to live and danger coming from the directions he couldn't see in made him very nervous when surrounded by lots of people. Especially when they were behind him. It was a struggle to keep his breathing even and not have another panic attack like he did on the first day of school.
"Hey, you really do have one!" The busty class rep exclaimed, her voice only a few inches away from his back, making him jump so violently that he almost lost his lunch to the ceiling.
She giggled behind him and pulled his shirt out of the other girl's hand to let it fall down, then shooed the others back to their tables. Hooking her arm through his she said, "C'mon, you can sit with me since your brother seems to have ditched you again to get some alone time with his girlfriend."
Oh, that's what he's been doing!
He felt like an idiot for not realizing what his brother had been up to. He was more then happy to give the two some alone time, so he went with the class rep. It suddenly occurred to him that he didn't even know her name. Which was kind of surprising from his point of view...
"Um... Not to be rude... But I don't know your name..."
"I'm Satella Harvenheit. The class rep." She said in a slight huff, "You should know that!"
"Eh-hehehe. Yeah I know... I just didn't know your name." He said sheepishly.
She blinked at him in surprise, then giggled.
"You're so cute!"
"Eh?"
She giggled again and pulled him over to her table and they sat down.


After her meeting with Duke Zaizen at the Enchantment cafe Helen had gone over her short conversation with the man and one question kept popping up: why would the Pursuers be after a Human? At first she had gone to the Magdalene Order to look for her answer. Which had turned up zilch. So she had turned to... Other... Sources. What she had concluded was that the Pursuers were after her friend by proxy. The ones they really wanted were her sons, it was just convenient to know their mother's name.
But their was something else Helen had found out about her friend, something very important. Something that could turn Pandemonium and Earth upside down. Again. But it could also assert a new balance, a new harmony for Heaven, Pandemonium and Earth. Whether harmful or not to any or all would depend entirely on Ctanna. Helen hoped the harmony she chose would be beneficial to all three.
Helen parked the car and went inside to the smell of one of Chrono's delicious concoctions.
I wonder what he made for dinner this time...
The boy never made exactly the same thing twice. There was always something distinctly different about dinner each time. Which was one of the reasons why they all loved his cooking, even if it had been a little hard to get used to at first.
Unless we're talking about Rosette, in which case, it had taken her all of three bites... I had never seen her inhale her food like that before him – unless it was breakfast.
Rosette was one of those people who has a large appetite in the morning and none in the evening. But Chrono had fixed that problem. Now she can't wait for dinner each night.
And neither can anyone else for that matter.
They all crowded around the table, asking for the bread, margarine, salt, pepper or granulated garlic, each trying to be herd over the other – just like one large family. It had come so easily, so naturally, that no one had yet to even realized it had happened; it was just how life in their house worked.
A/N: Well, that's all I have for now, so please review and tell me what you think!

This chapter is kinda short too isn't it?
