"We are having pancakes!"-
Shut up.
"I said no! French toast!"-
Shut up.
"But I want to make pancakes! They are the best breakfast!"-
"Yeah! Gingkie's pancakes are the best!"-
Seriously, just shut up!
"I'm sick of your pancakes! I want some French toast!"-
"I'm with Kyoya on this one! French toast are the better than pancakes!"-
Good! Eat your French toasts and shut up!
"Pancakes are better! And these will be extra special because I'm feeling amazing today!"-
"You are always happy! And your pancakes are always garbage!"-
Why can't they just do both, and shut up?
"You take that back!"-
"Make me!"-
This isn't going to end, Is it?
"PANCAKES!"-
"FRENCH TOAST!"-
"Will you shut up?! I'm trying to slee-Ah!"-
And just like that, Yuki's face smacked on the floor. He whimpered against the floor for a few seconds and then got up.
"And I thought Madoka was annoying in the mornings"-said the boy as he used his hand to look for his glasses.
It was true; Yuki's sister could be all cute and all after going down the stairs, but she is a bossy morning demon after waking up. The older twin wasn't sure how his sister does it, she always slept late but settled an alarm for six in the FREAKING am! And if those Disney songs programed in the alarm weren't enough; Madoka would always open the curtains, let the demonic morning sunlight blind his eyes, and yell at him 'Rise and shine, Sleeping Beauty!'. Oh but if he didn't woke up at that moment, she dared to pull his blanket and force him to wake up. Wake up for what? She takes over the bathroom for almost an hour! Why doesn't she just take a shower before going to sleep? Is easier that way, and that is not even the worst part! After Madoka is done dressing and is 'kind enough' to open the bathroom door for him, they have to fight each other for the mirror. Would it kill her to not use make-up for a day?!
... He missed it... Even if it is annoying and he will probably complain about it when he gets back home, Yuki missed to share the mornings with his twin.
But well... No more lipstick on his face as revenge for pushing Madoka and use the mirror...
No more borrowing his sister's socks because he can't find clean ones...
No more constant remainder of how important is for him to do his own laundry...
No more packed lunches with warm and delicious omelets...
And... No more of Grampa's silly notes that he sneaks on their lunchboxes...
"Guess Madoka will have to get the notes all by herself..."-Yuki mumbled as he remembered how since his sister now went to school with him, the notes were cut in half and each half was placed in each twin's lunchbox.
And how they had to join them together in order to see what kind of silly but sweet message Grandpa had for them...
Now, Now; there is no need to be homesick right now, as soon as this is solved it will all go back to normal.
That is if it he is able to solve it.
No, don't start being pessimistic... you are not alone on this, you'll be fine.
Yuki got out of the room and walked to the kitchen, he didn't know where the kitchen was but all that noise of Pancakes vs. French Toast gave him a nice clue. But as soon as he put a foot in there, the others noticed his presence.
"Yuki!"-Gingka, Tithi and King yelled at the same time.
Oh boy.
"You are just in time to prove those poop-heads that pancakes are the superior breakfast!"-yelled the red-haired guy holding a platter of pancakes that seemed to be swimming in syrup.
"Come on Yuki, Solar System warriors stick together!"-yelled King as he gave the boy a plate with two French toast on it.
"Hey, I am a one too!"-yelled Tithi before taking more of his food into his mouth.
"You ate all the berries so I'm not talking to you!"-answered the blue-haired guy
"So kid, Which side are you in?"-asked Kyoya as he was eating a French toast.
Yuki could feel how Kyoya wanted him on his team, so he could prove the superiority of one food over the other.
"Actually... can I just have some coffee?"-
As soon as the brown-haired boy asked, Aguma took the liberty of putting some in a mug for him.
"Thanks"-he said as he sat besides Dynamis.
"Just eat both and don't give any opinions"-said Dynamis as he continued eating-"Trust me, they do this every day"-
"Yesterday it was bacon against sausages"-said Tsubasa
"Bacon won"-commented Aguma
Yuki just giggled after drinking his coffee.
"Eww! How can you drink that?!"-asked Tithi making nauseous faces-"It tastes so yucky and it looks like poison!"-
"Well I don't drink it often, but I feel like I'm gonna need it today"-answered the blue-eyed boy as he started eating-"Mhm...these are good"-
"Don't talk while you are chewing, you uneducated beast"-King laughed-"But thank you, my French toast is the best"-
"No way! My pancakes are better! Isn't that right, Yuki?"-Gingka asked
"Both are good"-
"Not fair! You gave to choose!"-
"Tell him mine are better!"-
"No, mine!"-
"Mine!"-
"Mine!"-
"Mine!"-
"Mine!"-
"Ladies! You are both pretty! So would you please let me eat?!"-
Right after Yuki yelled at them, the whole kitchen was infested by laughter. Even Dynamis and Aguma were almost chocking because of what their teammate said.
Yuki was laughing too.
Maybe is not so bad after all.
Yuki was recommended to wear something fit for a fight; whatever that means. He never worked out on his own, so the only thing he could base on was his gym uniform from school. A t-shirt, a pair of shorts and running shoes should be more than enough. But as he tied his hair, Yuki noticed two things.
One, he accidentally packed one of Madoka's superhero shirts.
And the other thing being, he looked exactly like her...
The boy couldn't believe how he forgot the fact that his mother always used to tie her light brown hair a messy bun.
Maybe... he could take of his glasses and...
No! Why did he even decided to tie it like that?! There was no time for this nonsense.
Yuki untied it and decided that it was better to just tie up his hair in a low ponytail.
"N-no! No! No way! I'm not doing that!"-
The others were not lying when they said that physical training is intense, right know Aguma and Tithi were doing a demonstration, to show Yuki what they know. Or at least they tried because, the only visible thing to admire were to lights that moved to an amazing velocity. A purple light that probably was created by Aguma and the golden light obviously belonged to Tithi.
Yuki was not going to fight like that.
"Don't worry"-said King, who was carrying a sword-"It's actually easier than it looks"-
"I can't do anything close to that! I thought you were going to show me how to use my powers!"-argued the blue-eyed boy.
"You seem to have a better handle of your powers when you find yourself in danger"-said Dynamis-"Look, our powers are tied to our emotions and-"-
"And that's the biggest cliché in the book"-commented Gingka with a little laugh.
"Maybe because it's true"-Dynamis didn't even looked at his friend-"Look Yuki, you not only have a problem when it comes to embracing your powers, but also when it comes to embrace your emotions. You have to stop thinking everything with logic and denial, and start feeling"-
"That's...Uh... I don't"-Yuki wasn't sure of what to say-"I don't think it makes any sense"-
"Of course it does"-Gingka decided to step in-"I mean, look at your shirt"-
"Is no-"-
"Starfire's powers come from her emotions, the more confident and stronger she feels; the more powerful she is"-Gingka interrupted with a big smile-"And look at Beast Boy! Do you think that he tries to ignore the instinct that kicks inside him every time he transforms? And please don't get me started with Raven"-
"Is...i-is not my shirt... it belongs to my sister"-Yuki said nervously
"Oh... well, she has a good taste"-said the red-haired warrior
Then King decided to step in.
"In a more understandable example, Gingka is arguably the strongest here a-"-
"I think its debatable"-interrupted Kyoya
King gave him a look but then sighed.
"Gingka is really strong, and is because he doesn't sit and think what to do next. He doesn't know it either, he feels it"-King said trying to explain something that seemed to be sort of hard to put in words.
"Look, just trust me. I assure you that you'll be fine, and this will help you to use your powers"-Dynamis assured him-"You have it inside you, don't hold back"-
Well it seemed like they were going to persist until he accepted so, let's just get over with it.
"O-okay... So? Who am I going to fight?"-Yuki asked, his fake smile exclaimed fear.
Even if he was pretending to be excited, Dynamis was pleased seeing how he was trying.
"Kyoya please step in"-
Did he just said?...
The chosen guy made a smirk and walked in front of the now scared boy.
"Looks like is just you and me now"-Kyoya said with crossed arms and playful expression.
"Uh...M-mister Dynamis... D-don't you think that I should need to start with someone less... intense?"-asked Yuki getting anxious.
"Why is that? Are you scared of a little wind?"-asked his now opponent.
"I think Kyoya is the best choice for you right now"-Dynamis responded-"Kyoya, remember what we talked about"-
"Don't worry about that. I got this"-the green-haired guy responded, then he turned to the boy in front of him-"You ready?"-
"Um... y-yeah... I think so"-
Yuki still didn't wanted to do this, but if Dynamis thinks is the best solution, then he should give it a try.
"So... How do w-whoa!"-
A sudden current of wind sent him flying to the other side of the training room. Yuki fell on his back and because he was too busy trying to get back on his feet, the boy didn't noticed how close Kyoya was getting to him.
And as for Kyoya, he seemed like he was enjoying how Yuki got hurt.
"Man, I can't believe it was that easy"-
"Wha- Ah! W-wait!"-
Lightening suddenly manifested in front of him, the only option for the boy was to jump and with a little bit of luck, getting as far from Kyoya as possible.
"Come on! You are not even trying!"-
Yuki was growing anxious.
"I-I... I wasn't ready!"-
"Believe me, You will never be!"-Kyoya yelled as he used his hands to produce some icy blizzard.
There was no way Yuki could scape from this attack.
"Concentrate... Just breathe..."-the blue-eyed boy tried to relax-"Do something... anything... You've done it before, Come on, Come on"-
There was no time, the blizzard was going to hit him. Yuki used his arms to cover his face.
Kyoya's attack didn't touched him.
Yuki looked up and saw that in front of him, something was made. It looked like... like a shield.
"I-I did it? I did it!"-he yelled excitedly-"Look! I made a-Ah!"-
It didn't seem to matter to Kyoya, he started to hit Yuki with lighting again.
He didn't wanted to take any chances, so he decided to run away again. This time with a blue shield made of energy in his hand.
"What do I do? What do I... wait, How did he do it?"-
Yuki remembered a superhero movie he saw with Madoka, there was a hero that didn't had any powers... he had a shield...
"Take this!"-
He threw the shield and hoped to at least hit him in the head or something.
It ended up in the ceiling.
"Oh! Come on!"-Yuki yelled with exasperation, he saw that not only his shield missed by far, but it also disappeared.
"Are we even fighting?!"-Kyoya asked with sarcasm while he used more lightning to scare Yuki-"Seems the only thing you are good for is being a target!"-
Stop.
"Do you already know that you are a failure? Is that why you are not trying?!"-
Shut up.
"You are just a joke! None of us have even seen you use your powers! Are you sure you even have powers?!"-
Yes...yes I do.
"Maybe is your stupid sister who was destined to be the next soldier of Mercury!"-
Shut up.
"I bet I could beat the crap out of her too! Bet she is as much of a failure as you!"-
"SHUT UP!"-
Kyoya didn't even noticed when it happened, but he had his wrist tied in a blue whip. And with one pull, it took him to the ground.
Yuki wasn't thinking, he was just... angry. His power made a whip, but not a string like the one he used against Motti in that occasion, this one was more stylized, it was stronger.
"Who is the joke now?!"-Yuki yelled as he move the whip, to make Kyoya smack against a wall.
Didn't seemed to be enough for him.
"What? You want some more?!"-
He released Kyoya and was ready to attack him directly. This hit made him fall on his back.
Yuki thought that would be enough.
But it wasn't.
Kyoya recuperated really fast. One second later, he was back up again.
"What? Did the runt learned a new trick?!"-Kyoya asked with a lot of cynicism.
"I AM a warrior! Just like you and just like the others!"-Yuki was sick and tired of Kyoya's constant insults.
Kyoya's smile grew even wider as he liberated a lot of wind inside the room, It made hard for Yuki to not be blown away.
"You are not like me!"-Kyoya barked-"I earned this power! You?! You only inherited what maybe shouldn't belong to you in the first place!"-
Yuki froze.
"Look at you! Do you even think you are worthy of having it?!"-Kyoya asked, still controlling wind and making it stronger with every growing second-"You can't even protect yourself from some dumb school bullies!"-
"Shut up!"-Yuki threw his whip-"I can fight too!"-
Kyoya grabbed the whip before it hit him, and pulled it so Yuki was the one flying onto him now.
"Then you clearly don't know what fighting is"-he said when he had the boy in front of him.
Then he kicked Yuki on the stomach, sent him flying against the other side of the room again.
When Yuki fell on the floor, he didn't seemed to care about the pain he was feeling. He was concentrated in something else.
There were bits on the floor.
Pink and white.
Yuki had some in his hands, but when he saw a small pink rose in front of him; he quickly grabbed it and started to check it as if it was something he needed to protect.
"Kyoya, I told you to not take it too far"-suddenly Dynamis talked.
"What did you think I was trying to do? Maybe this will make him wake up."-Kyoya responded.
"You don't understand, that was-"-
"Apologize..."-
They all turned to see Yuki, he still sitting on the floor. His hands were on his chest and his face was hidden, he also was surrounded in blue light. It wasn't like Gingka's blue light... this one was darker.
And brighter.
"I said... APOLOGIZE!"-
Before the green-haired guy knew it, his entire body was being crushed, the same blue energy that came out of Yuki was surrounding him. It had a shape and it looked like a hand.
After squishing him even more, Yuki made his opponent stand in front of him.
"Apologize now"-
Kyoya looked at the boy and noticed how angry he looked, it was pure rage what could be read on his face but also there was blue light covering his eyes, it looked like it was falling.
It looked like tears.
"I said apologize! Now!"-
The guy didn't even got the chance to say anything before getting smashed on the floor.
Dynamis was careful at observing the kind of state Yuki was on, he had talked with Kyoya about being cruel to him. Getting him angry so Yuki's instincts would kick in.
Well... he got what he intended.
But Kyoya took it too far.
"What's with you?!"-Kyoya asked as he was trying to get up.
Yuki didn't even moved.
"I don't want to hear anything you have to say!"-the boy responded with rage-"Unless it's sorry"-
Kyoya wasn't sure what to do now. He never saw any of the warriors in this state, What is this anyways?
Maybe he can snap him out of it.
The guy used his right hand to make some lighting, he also made sure that it wasn't enough to kill the boy.
As soon as Yuki saw it coming, he made something with his hand too. It was like a stick, but it had a blade on the top. It was a spear, he took it in both hands and prepared to attack.
They were both ready to collide with each other.
"STOP!"-
Dynamis was suddenly in the middle of the two, grabbing both Kyoya's hand and Yuki's spear. Purple light surrounded Dynamis' hands and it seemed to absorb the lighting and Yuki's energy, turned into his own power and using one of his hands to deviated somewhere else.
The guy with lilac hair quickly released them, Kyoya was holding his hand and Yuki ended on the floor again.
"A-are...Are you alright?"-Dynamis asked both, but he was looking at Yuki rather than Kyoya.
"H-how could you?"-Yuki's voice was breaking.
"What?"-
"I said, How could you?!"-Yuki yelled but he did not moved.
Dynamis said nothing, he just looked at the crying boy with shame.
"Y-you... you knew I wasn't ready and you made me fight with this brute?!"-he asked but it was more a scold rather than a question-"What the hell is wrong with you?! Was this part of your training?! Because is stupid!"-
"Yuki..."-
"My sister trusted me with this bracelet! My mother made this bracelet! This is the only thing I have from her and you thought it was okay to take it away from me?!"-
"It wasn't-"-
"Do you really want to know why I don't like to get in touch with my emotions?! Is because I'm sick of them! I'm sick of crying and I'm sick of remembering that I am the reason why my mother is dead!"-
"Yuki! Stop it!"-Dynamis yelled/begged-"This wasn't my intention! I thought it would be the best way! I just..."-
"Here"-
Kyoya went to Yuki and showed him something in his hand.
It was the bits that belonged on Yuki's bracelet. They were a little bit burned, but they were fine.
"I'm sorry"-Kyoya said as he put them on the boy's hand-"I went too far"-
Yuki didn't responded, he just decided to take them.
"Let's go now"- Kyoya told the other warriors.
They didn't need to be told twice to get out.
It was only Yuki and Dynamis in the training room now.
Which one would be the first one to say something?
