"The reflection of Light & Darkness"

---Chapter III---

The Other Asakura

---------

The first course I have today is Shaman Art. Since I have a lot to catch up, my teacher sent me to personal study time to catch up everything that I have to know.

Studying… All day long? Oh puh-please! There is no way that I am doing that!

---------

From a far distance, I see an old church. It seems to have some smoke. Because I was interested by the smoke, I walk there.

While I enter, I see a boy. He has long silky black hair. His black uniform, encrusted with golden string, had no button attached. He looks very similar with the person I saw yesterday. A little bit too similar, but the impression they give to others are different. Are they related?

I sensed a glow of fire which engulfed his presence. To my surprise, the fire was natural with his figure. He reminded me of someone like a man, whose job was to cremate as many bodies as possible.

He, having noticed my presence, glances at me with his black, yet shining, eyes. He smiles to me. I think that I am blushing… I cannot see my own face, but I definitely feel the warmth coming to my face.

I try to find anything to say, but I am too embarrassed to say something. Luckily, he talks before I have my head explodes.

"What are you doing here?"

"I" What should I say? He is looking directly at me! The angel finally talks to me!

"Angel?"

"Wait. What? Why? How?" What is he talking about?

"Why did you say that I am an angel?"

"When did I…" Can he read my mind that he hears that I say that he is an angel? "Well, actually…"

"Yes?"

"…" Oh my god! His smile! It is so irresistible!

"My smile is irresistible? Then what if I…"

That boy walks closer and closer to me until he is almost away from me.

"Go away from me!" Oh my! He is way too near me!

"Why should I?"

"Because you are a gentleman?" What kind of excuse is this? I am such an idiot!

"Gentleman? Me? you must be mistaken. I have never been one."

"Maybe now is the time that you have to learn to be one?" Ok… Now I sound like his mother.

"Why?"

"I don't know!" It is official! I have gone nuts! "Now, can you please let me go?"

"I don't feel like it."

He lifts his hand and takes off my glasses. He, then, burns my glasses!

"Hey you…" How dare he burns my glasses without my permission!

"I what?"

"My glasses…" I have to order another pair… Not that I really need them…

"You don't even need them."

"Of…Of course I need them…" His smile is so sweet! I can't believe that he is smiling at me!

If he doesn't let go of me, I WILL EXPLODE! Definitely! I try to attack him, but he seems to be able to dodge my attacks so easily. He even thinks that it is amusing to see me struggle for my way out.

Finally, I pretend to cry. He didn't even react to it. Some time later, maybe I am lucky, I actually slap him. Oh god that I regret that! I quickly run away from the church and hope that I will not have to meet with him soon…

On my way out, I think that I hear three girls talking to that boy.

"Hao sama, do you want us to take care of her?" The orange haired girl asks.

"No." The long hair boy answered.

"Then shall we search for her identity?"

"No. She will be willingly to tell me herself."

Hao-sama… Asakura Hao… He is… one of my two fiancées… Then… If he is Hao, then the boy I met yesterday must be Yoh… Oh my… I think that I have just created more troubles for myself.

---------

I eat my lunch quietly in the corner without disturbing anyone. Then, I heard some crashing noises in the cafeteria. There are two boys who seem to be arguing over something. One of them has purple hair and golden eyes. His haircut has a pointy pike. The other one has blue hair. His clothes look like someone from Arctic. Won't he be hot in those clothes in the summer?

"You!" the blue hair boy shouts energetically. "Stop exercising control over the cafeteria again! I am not eating CHINESE FOOD!"

"You have a problem with Chinese food?"

"One time is good, two times are enough, TEN times in a row, that's WAY MORE THAN ENOUGH!"

"Are you trying to say that Chinese food is not good?" The purple haired one's pike started rising.

"YES!"

CLASH, BOOM, any sound you can think off disturb my quiet and peaceful lunch. Gee, does everyone here just know how to fight? I slowly walk away from that room and prepare for my next class: Combat.

---------

The whole classroom is filled with different kind of weapons: spears, swords, axes, and even snowboards! It is somehow…special? The class and the teacher I have seem to be nice, for once. Just as I think that I'll have a more normal class, the two people recently arguing in the cafeteria are in this class.

"Why are YOU doing here?" Both of their voices clash.

"Mr. Tao, Mr. Usui, you are both late. How can I punish you two?"

"Shut up." The Chinese-lover guy, says.

"How dare you say that to me! I am your teacher! Go…Go give me one thousand push-ups!"

"How easy." The pike-haired guy answers arrogantly. "But are you sure that you can punish me?"

The teacher lowers his head and bites his lip. It is weird to see a teacher lowering down his head to a normal student. The other guy, passes by the teacher without saying any words. The teacher seems to be afraid of him too. How is that possible? Are they in the noble families as well? They must not be Light Elne since the only two Light Elne noble families here are Asakura and Loxelanne.

The class, with them here, has everything changed. The winter-clothing guy is sleeping and snoring during class while the Chinese-lover is training with his spear. The teacher , who tries to ignore them as much as possible, continues to explain the basic skill of fighting.

At last it is the practice time. I choose a fan as my best weapon. Yes, a fan! My mother has taught me how to fight with a fan when I was little, and I've taken a liking to it ever since. The fan that I possess is a custom-made by one of the most famous weapon maker in the world. Rumors say that it is a gift of marriage from my father to my mother. The truth? I don't know.

One swing, two swings, and I think that I have the whole class's attention. I guess that they would have never thought that I could actually fight. Somehow, the teacher doesn't seem to be too "thrilled" that I'm talented in fighting. The two disturbers are ignoring the class again, but I could have sworn that they both looked at me. I, for the first time in this school, am proud to be here.

"Miss Loxelanne, you do not show off in class."

"Huh?" What did he just say? Showing off?

"Loxelanne? Isn't that the Light Elne's noble family?" some students whisper.

"Yeah, I heard that she's coming to here. She must be Iron Maiden Jeanne's sister." Another person murmur.

"Silent. There should be no talking in my class. I am the one and only one allowed to talk. Now, miss Loxelanne, let's see, lowering your star level? Oh, you are already in the lowest rank."

"Shut up." A voice coming from the back said. "You are disturbing my sleep."

"Mister Usui, I will not allow rude comments! Both of you, out of the class!"

I then follow the energetic boy out of the class and realized we were followed by another student.

"Mister Tao, I do not remember giving permission for you to leave."

"You want me to refresh your memory?"

"There…There is no need for that. You may go."

---------

When we arrive at the garden, we stand between the school and main gates. At this point, the hot-tempered boy didn't follow us.

"What's your name?" He asks me. "Mine is HoroHoro."

"Yufina, Yufina Loxelanne."

"Weird name."

"Not as much as yours."

We stare at each other and burst in laughs.

"The combat teacher hates strong people. He's afraid that they are stronger than he is."

"That's why he's so mean to me."

"Yeah, all you've to do is to stand up to him."

"What should I do?"

"Easy, you punch him. Stupid Ren and I win against him, so we are free to do whatever we want."

"Why don't you just skip class if you are not even listening to him?"

"I don't want to get scolded. As for Ren, I don't know."

"By your parents?" I ask curiously.

"My little sister Pilika."

"Does she have long blue hair and pink clothes?"

"Yeah, how do you know?"

"She's running toward us."

"AHH!"

HoroHoro tries to run away, but it is already too late; he has been caught.

"Big brother, you've to do to train! Give me 1000 push up as a warm-up!"

Pilika drags her brother away with a net while he's screaming and trying to break out.

I remain at that spot and take out my diary to write the 'adventures' I have had today. Little time after I started, Ren walks into my view. He remains there, and I continue writing.

"Hey, Light Elne. Get out my sight." A boy with an insensitive voice mutters.

"And is Dark Lore your name?" I ask sarcastically. "If not, stop calling me Light Elne. It's Yufina." My tone treats him like a delusional child.

I figure that he's Dark Lore since he seems not to like Light Elne. Now, he is mad, and the pike on his head starts rising.

"I don't get it. Girls should be quiet, sweet, and submissive to men." He frowns disapprovingly.

"You're such an old school." I roll my eyes. "Are you delusional or some thing?"

He's mad, again. However, he's kind of cute when he is. He 'tries' to ignore me and keep his 'cool'.

To break this weird conversation, I ask, "What do the Asakura brothers hate?"

Just for a second, Ren seems to be shocked, and his anger rises again, a kind of anger that has… hatred?

"I need help in getting rid of them." I add.

"…"

"I need to get rid of them because they are my fiancées."

That must have seriously surprised him since his mouth is wide open and his eyes went blank.

"Do you know what they hate? Or their weakness? I really need your help for this. I cannot let other people control my life. I don't want to marry at this age!"

"I am not going to help a Light Elne."

Though he says that, he seems to be 'nicer' in terms of talking than before I said 'not letting other people controlling my life'.

"Why do you hate Light Elne this much? What have they ever done to you?"

"I hate them."

"…" Stubborn-minded! And I was sure that he can become my ally!

"Don't do anything."

"Huh?"

"Wait until it passes."

"But why?"

"They both hate to be controlled. They will not agree to it this easily." Ren finally says.

"Yeah but…"

"It'll be dangerous if you do."

As though as he doesn't want to be seen with me, Ren dashes away when some people are passing by. So all I have to do is to ignore them? I wonder if I can do that. However, why did Ren say that they are dangerous? Yoh is carefree, and Hao is just controlling. Why would they be dangerous?
