AliceKitten: YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSS GUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRLLLLLLLLLL.

Georgia P.O.V

I didn't go back to school that day. I wouldn't have been able to deal with seeing Hikaru again.

Do you guys remember back when the twins fought? Someone said that 'Every time I look in the mirror I see his face'? Well I don't see that. If I see Kaoru, I don't see Hikaru as well, I just see someone who shares similar features but looks completely different. I don't see the monster that is Hikaru, I see Kaoru.

He's not a monster…why are you saying that?

You're kidding me right? Of course he is! He sold my necklace, almost punched me in the face - on more than one occasion, he treats me like a toy! I can't stand it!

Even for you that's harsh…

Oh great, now I'm having an argument with myself. I swear this takes inner conflict to a whole other level. I really need to stop talking to myself.

Yes, you do. But don't be so harsh. He's trying to get it back for you…

Only to fix a frigging problem he started in the first place! I honestly wish I never met him. He's not even his own person! He can't function properly without Kaoru around. It's like he gets poo brain and can't function properly without him.

How stupid is that?

How stupid are you?

Would you shut up!? I mean me! Why do I have two different voices in this bloody head of mine? This is so frigging annoying!

"Could you not shout so loud? I could hear you shouting from down the street!" A slightly tired voice calls from down the stairs.

"What do you mean shouting? I wasn't shouting!" I say in disbelief at the brunette rolls her eyes at me, but with a playful smile as she pulls out her keys to enter her own home.

Right, I forgot to mention that I was sitting outside of Haruhi's apartment, probably looking like a homeless person to her neighbours, just sitting up against her door. Even though I could have easily broken in - well, walked in. Just make a magic key, or I could just teleport myself into her home. BUT! Since I'm such a nice friend, I decided against it. That and people would have probably seen me and called the police.

"How was your day?" She asks causally inviting me in, taking off her shoes and gently placing her bag on the ground.

"Do you really need to ask that? You know how my day went!" I rolled my eyes, collapsing onto the floor in her lounge room.

"Well I'm just glad you didn't blow anything up. Even I could feel your…magic, starting to…I don't know…I could just feel it." She said, turning on the small T.v sitting on the stand, before rummaging under the stand, full of books and what not.

The news came on, and the news reporter was the same as always, "And in other news, our Superhero continues to roam the streets, cleaning up the streets of wrong doers,"

"So that's where you ran off to." she said, barely looking up from her little task.

"But can be sure that she knows what she's doing?" Haruhi and I looks to one another with surprise in our eyes.

"What the hell?" I mutter, sitting up straighter.

"Interviews from witnesses say that she assaulted young school girl, Orian Kaname for an unknown reason."

"That's bull crap! I didn't assault her!" I shout at the T.v, before looking over to Haruhi in shock.

They believed her! They bloody believed her!

"So is this so called hero, actually a hero? The pubic are now having mixed emotions." The news report then cut to interviews with the public, each of them seeming to doubt me being a saviour of this city…a hero.

"This will blow over, don't panic." Haruhi tries to console me, but it isn't helping.

"Haruhi! They hate me!" There was a growing feeling of worry in my stomach, and it keeps rising and rising into my throat. Do they all think I can't protect them? Why? Do they think I'm the villain? I'm not! I really can't be! I'm saving these people! I've save so many! The robberies, the bombs, the kidnappings…I've done so many in such a short time. And they choose to believe this stupid bull crap?

"Hey, calm down," She says coming over to me and placing a hand on my shoulder. "It's going to be alright."

What happens when someone does die? Or I accidentally let them get hurt? What if that happens to Haruhi whilst I'm off fighting somewhere? She doesn't have any self-defence! "Haruhi, I want to teach you self-defence. Like shields and things."

Haruhi P.O.V

I blinked at the sudden change of topic, but give her a nod of my head in agreement. This seems like something is going on in her mind, and I can't access it. My hypothesis is that while she is being over emotional and panicking, her magic is running wild inside of her, acting as a blockade from me entering her mind. So I can't see what she's thinking, or hear should I say.

"Alright, just let me pack something first," I tell her, nodding my head, "I think it would be better if I stayed at your house, plus I want to check for something first."

Georgia seems to understand, and panic in her eyes had dimmed, allowing the return of that playful and powerful look. "Sounds good. I'm gonna wait outside." And with that she just left.

It confused me as to why she would wait outside, but it gives me time to look for that book. I remember seeing that symbol here somewhere, the same of from the book. But the only question is where? It would have been such a long time ago, but that symbol…I recognise it.

It had been gnawing at the back of my mind for the whole day, and Georgia's as well, but I guess her mind is a bit pre-occupied with the recent…incident. But it gives me a bit more time to look for it.

It wasn't tucked away with my other books under my television, which is where I was almost sure it would be. Now, I'm searching the closet in the lounge room. These were more my Dad's things. Some old photos, trophies, books and what not on the bottom few shelves.

On the very bottom shelf was something I hadn't thought about for a long time, something I didn't want to think about.

A small box, a cardboard one, slowly slid across our carpet, dragged by my hand subconsciously. My hands traced over the lid of the box, and I wanted to open it. So I did.

The lid came off so easily, as if its sole purpose was be opened by me. I can barely remember the last time I opened this, I must have been so young. Over time, I just forgot, rather than remembering my mother by these memories, I became her. I lived part of her life, and even others say I look like her too. It make me happy to know that it is possible to be like her.

The first photo to come up, was one of my mother. Some of the colours have faded slightly, but she still kept that joyful look on her face. It brought a smile to my face, that I knew I could be like her.

Behind it, a brighter coloured one was there. It was my mother, dressed in over the top, fancy, colourful costumes, complete with peacock like feathers behind her.

I didn't know she performed like that, maybe that's where her confidence came from. I wish I had that. Even with my…magic…I still find that hard to say. That I have magic, but regardless, I'm still not confident with that.

Looking at Georgia, I've seen her lose control of her magic. And I don't want that, but we still haven't worked out what powers I have. Sure we narrowed it down to three possibilities, but then, none of those three are fire, and that's what goes crazy when Georgia loses her temper. So I should be alright? Right?

"Haruhi? What's taking so-" She cut herself off, eyes scanning the small photo in my hand. "Oh." That's all she could muster out, and it was pretty clear that she didn't know how to act. She made her way over, couching beside me to look closer at the photo, before she smiled, "You look like her." But then she chuckled, "Well, minus the feathers. I honestly could never see you wearing feather. Actually I couldn't imagine you wearing something so…flashy, the same goes for makeup too."

A chuckle escaped my lips, "I honestly doubt it. Unless the hosts make me, like back at the ball."

"Oh that was an interesting night." She smiled, remembering the night.

Curiously, she reached into the box, grabbing the rest of the photos, brown eyes scanning them in awe and delight. "You guys look so happy." I peer at the photo she held, it was one of the whole family. My mum, my dad, and me, with that little toy dog that she gave me which still has the same pink bow tied around his neck. "And you still have that dog. It must be old now."

"Yeah…" I trail off turning my attention back to the box. There was something old, but I remember it. It was an old book, an original manuscript, "It is…"

The paper was old and slightly torn, bound together with staples and thread. There was no cover, just an old piece of paper, tinted brown and creased. Written on black ink, in the centre of the page, the words 'Stories of Stars' in a small font.

"Haruhi?"

I remember this. I read it so long ago, I can barely remember it. Over 10 years that's for sure, back when my…my mum was still alive. Under the title, there was the name of the author underneath it. Koko Tafijokou. But, who is that?

"Haruhi? Are you ok?" Georgia's concerned voice broke through my thoughts.

"Pardon?" I shake myself awake again.

"What happened? You went completely blank for a second!" She told me in all seriousness.

"I think I found it."

She arched an eyebrow at my statement. "Found what?"

"I thought you would have realised. I found what I was looking for." I hand the book to her, and she scans it over, "It's the book! Remember how I said I wanted to check out something this afternoon, well, this was it. That is what I was looking for. That symbol in the front of the book, is what triggered it first, but then, I swear to god that I knew that Authors name from somewhere, and here's where!"

She was in shock, almost appeared frozen if I didn't see her finger flick over the page, revealing a rough sketch of that symbol on the costumes belt, and book. "Haruhi…" She breathed as if she was about to break into tears, but she threw herself at me in a tight embrace. I was taken back, and wrapped my hands around her in comfort, not knowing what to say. "I'm sorry…" She began to sob into my shoulder, "I'm so sorry for everything I've ever done to you, when all you've tried doing is to help me."

I could feel her sobs on my shoulder, and my blazer becoming tear stained. "It's ok. I forgive you." I tell the crying girl, pulling her off me so that I can look into her eyes.

"No, it's not. I thought that you didn't care about me finding this book and getting out of there." She looked down to the ground, "You didn't want to get my hopes up, did you?"

I shook my head, taking her hand in mind, "Just in case I couldn't find it here."

She looked up again, "Thank you. So much."

"No, thank me when you get out of here. Remember, you're going to teach me self-defence."

"Actually, I'm reading the book first, then we're doing self-defence."

Later

Georgia's P.O.V

Guys, I read that book like a speed demon, but it was just stories about past kings and queens, who I'm not sure even existed in the first place! I was getting so pissed off about not understanding it. So she told me to teach her some magic, but it really wasn't helping my temper

"Come on dude! How are you not getting this?" I cry out in frustration, as Haruhi gets hit in the face again with another cushion.

Haruhi picked up the cushion and threw it back to me, preparing herself, "I'm sorry if the laws of magic is something I'm not familiar with." She says in frustration as well.

"Maybe, we need to up the ante." I said with a smirk on my face.

"Oh hell no! Don't you are do it!" Winter shouts from the fence, with a cautious and worried look.

"Georgia, what are you thinking?" Haruhi eyes me suspiciously, raising an eyebrow in question. I smirk, noticing a bucket of water nearby, and I think she got the hint. "Oh no. Please do-"

But it was too late.

I controlled the water, forcing it to rise up, and cover Haruhi completely, even though she tried to protect herself. It didn't work.

"Well, I think we better call it quits, don't you?" I laugh at a dripping wet Haruhi.

"Georgia! This is the second time!" She shouts annoyed walking back to the house with haste.

Ok, maybe that was a bit cruel.

"You don't say?" Her voice enters my head with an annoyed tone to it.

I roll my eyes playfully at her, before snapping my fingers, and I heard her shout in surprise. "Georgia!"

Haruhi P.O.V

Ok, it's good that Georgia is keeping her mind occupied with teaching me magic but still, drenching me in water each time she does? It can get rather annoying.

I felt heat surround me with a mass air blast and I shout out in surprise. "Georgia!" And I'm completely dry. I must admit, having magic is useful. I have been practicing my levitation magic, and I'm sure Georgia will be impressed.

"Sorry Haruhi, I couldn't help it."

I sat down at the table pulling the old book towards me and flipping to that first page with the Crest of Asteria on it. That's what Georgia called it anyway, and she even said if I looked close enough, I could see the pattern in her wings too.

I stayed silent, to ignore her, but to also just scan over the book. There is something in my mind telling me about how this book is special, I just don't know how to look at it.

"You can't work it out either?" She asks me grabbing a glass from the cabinet, and placing it in front of me.

I'm scanning over every little detail on every page, but nothing. I can't imagine how much this is driving Georgia insane.

"I've been over every detail of that book. I even tried using day and night magic on it to reveal any illusions and hidden spells, but nothing. Haruhi, what if I can't work it out? I have less than a week to get back…or in worst case scenario, cut off the connection from this side, to stop him from coming to Earth."

I shake my head at her, "But that'll mean that you leave Asteria to Blayze's wrath. That whole realm could be taken over, you're their only hope."

"But James' is out there, he's fighting back, I know he would." She tried to argue, but I can see that there is doubt in her mind. "You're right." She sighed. "There is so much on my shoulders right now Haruhi. I don't know what 'm doing half the time. How am I meant to beat an entire Fireon army and their deranged leader?"

I turn my gaze away from the book and look to my friend. "Georgia, I know this will be hard. But try to think about it logically. You're a lost Princess of a magical realm, who possesses all of the natural elements, going up against someone who only has one power, and an army. Plus, who knows what kind of help that you'll have when that time comes. You have the power, and you have the motive. I believe in you, and it turns out I believe in magic too. It just took me a long time to admit it."

She blinked at me, and gave me a hopeful smile, "That was so goddamn cheesy." She laughed, but then she smiled again, "But it's just what I needed." She grabbed the book, and opened it to the second page, leaving it on the table, so she could read it.

But, it moved. It changed page. "Um, did you just see that?" I question, looking at it wide eyed, "Please tell me that was you."

"Nope, not me." She puts her hands up in surrender, watching the book cautiously.

Then it did it again. It flicked through a few more pages, before freezing once again. Georgia chuckled, "Oh ok. Winter, this isn't funny." She says looking around the room for the small bird.

Winter flew in from another room, "I don't know what going on, but it ain't me."

It started going crazy, flicking back and forth between the pages, rattling like it was being electrified.

Georgia and I looked to one another with wide eyes and surprise. I really don't know what's going on…

And then it stops. The book closed itself, sitting idly on the table.

I slowly blinked at it, trying to make sure my eyes didn't deceive me. "It stopped." I state, moving to it cautiously, with Georgia mirroring my moves.

"Yeah…" She said trying to take in what just happened, "Winter, any idea's as to what that was?"

The bird shook her head, looking towards us with just much confusion. "Well, at least it's over."

But then, it began to glow dark blue and purple, like lightning around the book. "Not yet!" I shouted stepping back.

"What's going on?" Georgia ask, looking to me with wide eyes. Winter does that same.

"I don't know!" The light from the electricity began to glow brighter, rising up into the air. And in a flash of light, everything dimmed down, leaving a glow floating above the book. "What is that?" I ask Georgia who looks from the book to me.

"Haruhi, what do you see?"

I look at her curiously, "Can't you see it?" I say pointing to the glowing orb in the centre of the room.

"See what?" She can't see it? Why can't she see it? "Haruhi?"

"It's just an orb, sitting above the book." I say not tarring my eyes away from it.

"Haruhi! Don't touch it! Whatever it is!" Georgia shouts at me, reaching out her own hand locking onto my wrist. I slightly snapped out of my thoughts, realising that my right hand had begun to reach out and was only centimetres from the glowing orb.

I froze immediately.

Why would I be touching that? That is one of the most illogical things I could actually do in a situation like that. What happens if it's dangerous? It could have the possibility to kill me on site, and I decided to touch it…well, subconsciously anyway.

Zap…

I clutched my hand close to my chest, hissing from the pain I felt in my fingertips.

"Haruhi!" Georgia was at my side in an instant, " Are you ok?! What happened?!"

I take in a deep breath, trying to numb the pain, but the orb caught my eye again. Rather than it just being a floating ball of light, now it was a bunch or letters, or well, a name. "Koko Tafijokou?"

"You can see her?" Georgia says in awe, but I shake my head.

"No, it's just her name."

The name was just floating there, hovering in mid-air. They all began to shake, then move, all of the just became a jumble of the letters in her name. I narrowed my eyes at it, trying to work out what is happing. What could I do?

Then, the first letter dropped down, sitting in its place. "K." I read out, watching it curiously.

"Um, kay? Haruhi what are you doing?"

"O." The next letter fell.

"O? Haruhi? What's going on?"

"T." I held up my finger, as a silent way to get her to be quiet.

"O."

"K." What is it trying to re-arrange itself as? I really don't understand all this magic.

"O."

There was a pause, but for that time, not once did I break my eye contact with those letters. There were so many things running through my mind, so many things I don't understand around the subject of magic. This being one of them.

"F."

"U." No, it can't be.

"J."

"I." This is a joke.

"O." This can't be real.

"K."

"A."

No, no, no, no, no! Why? Why would it spell out that name? Please tell me this is all a cruel trick.

Georgia's P.O.V

"Haruhi? What's wrong?" Haruhi was just starring at nothing, just at some empty space above the book, but obviously there was something there. Something that only she could see. She didn't answer me, not even a twitch. "You know I can't see what you do. Tell me what you see."

"Kotoko Fujioka."

My eyebrows furrow at her, "Fujioka? That's your family name."

"I know." She looked to me, a lost look in her eyes. "Kotoko was my mother."

Dun dun DUUUUUUNNN! Well guys, let me know what you think, I know this may be a bit of a shock, but it does explain a lot I guess.

Did you see this coming? If not, what was your explanation for Haruhi's powers?

Let me know what your answers are in the comments and I'm so sorry this is late! I love you all!

Until Next Time

Silva Out!
