[LOCATION: 7AM - HANA'S APARTMENT]
[HANA'S DREAM]
There was girl about 5 years old, stood beside the bedpost of her father's bed, crying in grief of her father's death, every other person who was there, was somehow related or in the powerful position paying their respects.
Everyone was wearing formal clothing as they stood by former leader of the Kasugari's family.
Hana was about 10 years old that time. She had just returned from 'The Organization' from training, a place her father sent her to as soon as she was able to obtain the power from the White Tiger. As she opened the door of her father's room, she entered walking slowly the nobles greeted her with a nod, acknowledging the next successor.
Hana had than walked behind her little sister, Hikari Kasugari, putting her hand on her right shoulder, slowly patting her shoulder, and calming her sister's sob.
Hana didn't cry nor did she felt angry that her father left, leaving all the responsibilities on her, as she is the current successor of the Kasugari's family, for being at a young age.
Hana's Aunt who was standing on the side with her husband, grieving the death of her brother, in Hana's view it felt fabricated…
As her Aunt stepped out from the side, she turned to everyone.
"As everyone here knows that Hana's is the current successor for the Kasuragi's family. Hana is at the age 10, she does not yet have the experience and knowledge to succeed in this family."
"That is correct but she is the holder of Byakko, the White Tiger, if she does not succeed in Kasuragi-sama's place, who will?" a noble said
Everyone nodded in agreement, than her Aunt who hid her grin behind the handkerchief she was holding, it went unnoticed by everyone except Hana and Hikari, who was standing behind her, beside their dead father's bedpost.
"You have your worries, ladies and gentlemen in well hand, as I Adaline Kasuragi and my husband Leanardo Kasuragi, will take in the place as the current head of the Kasuragi's family until Hana has come to an age where she had gained enough knowledge and experience, than I will step down."
Some agreed in Adaline-sama words, and as some grew worried if Adeline-sama's step in the head of Kasuragi's position.
The Kasuragi's family would be corrupted and she may back down her words after she became the head but with Hana's age, being inexperience they had no choice but to accept Adeline-sama's offer.
Of course Hana didn't like her Aunt's idea, nor did Hikari, but what could she do? Even her mother wouldn't even stand up against her Aunt and take the place of her dead husband.
Hana didn't feel anger towards her mother's weak will, as her sister continued to quietly sob, Hana felt she had to be there for her sister and protect her like she vowed the day of her birth.
But that was soon abolished, soon after 2 months when her Aunt was immediately made the new head of the Kasuragi's head.
Hana knew her Aunt saw her as a threat, that she will one day take back what was hers.
So her Aunt sent her back to 'The Organization' as soon as possible, Hana even opposed, using all her will to prevent her Aunt from sending her back, Hana didn't want to break her promise she made to Hikari but… there was no avail…
Hana didn't have power… She wasn't strong enough… and for the first and last time… she cried for her family…
It was about 7am in the morning when Katja woke up. Katja slowly opened her eyes, she realised that Hana wasn't awake.
Normally by this time, Katja would be by herself in bed when she wakes up and Hana would be awake doing her project.
Katja turned and looked at Hana's sleeping expression. It always grew to Katja's amusement what Hana dreams about.
Especially if Hana dreams about her…
Katja suddenly felt embarrassed think about the possibilities that Hana dreaming about her, she could feel her cheeks becoming hot.
She quickly turned to the opposite direction.
Katja shakes her head, taking that opinion out of her mind. She turned back looking at Hana, then suddenly she caught Hana crying in her sleep.
Without realising what she was doing, Katja caught Hana's tear, wiping away the new-formed ones, she cupped Hana's cheek, and she could feel Hana relaxing in her hand.
Katja never seen Hana cry in her sleep before, whatever she was crying about it must have really hurt her.
Once Hana's tears had stopped, she stroked Hana's cheek, giving her a peak on her forehead before removing her hand.
She left the bedroom walking to the bathroom to change, getting ready for the day.
Later in the day…
When Hana had just woken up her sleep, sitting up, she bent her knees she rubbed her through her hair, when she left her head fall.
"What a crappy dream" Hana mumbled.
She lifted her head, looking at the ceiling, as her head hanged from the back, she turned where Katja would normally be sleeping.
She wasn't there, sitting back up properly again, she glanced at the clock that was on the wall, it was 7:30am, and no wonder Katja wasn't in bed.
Hana overslept by an hour. Hana just casually shrugged and brushed it off. She got off the bed and made the bed again, looking all neat and tidy.
As she walked out of the bedroom, Katja was on the dinning table drinking tea while she was on her laptop typing away.
Hana yawned, as she felt tired from her sleep, as she said "Morning Katja-sama" and lazily moving into the bathroom as she heard a response from Katja.
Hana came back out wearing her senior uniform, walking towards the kitchen.
"Your breakfast is on top of the stove" Hana heard Katja say as she continued typing.
Hana looked at the stove, as her breakfast was covered neatly with a clean wrap.
Hana took the clean wrap off and took her breakfast to the dinning table.
Sitting opposite of Katja, Hana proceed to eat after saying "itadakimasu"
While eating silently, Hana was texting to Miyuri, who text her earlier when she would be free today to hang out some time.
Hana glanced away from her phone, to be honest, Hana didn't even feel like hanging out, she actually felt a bit exhausted and wanted to relax once in a while.
Texting her back that she just want a day off today and offered to meet some other time.
She flipped her phone, placing on the table.
Hana than turned to look at Katja, who was still looking at her laptop, reading documents, continuing her research.
As Katja could feel Hana staring at her, Katja felt annoyed, she didn't like people staring at her when she doing her work, so she said without taking her eyes off the documents
"What."
"Nothing."" Hana said as she grinned.
"Gotchousama." Hana said as she took her plates and walked to the kitchen, she started washing the dishes.
Katja felt annoyed how Hana always leave her hanging.
Katja sigh, as she rubbed the bridge of her nose with her hand.
She saved the documents on her laptop and got up.
Walking to the opposite side of the kitchen bench.
Katja looked over the kitchen bench where Hana was still washing the dishes.
Hana looked up, looking at Katja.
"Something wrong Katja-sama?"
"No, I've been just thinking, you've been so annoying these day, you deserve some punishment" Katja grinned as a light blush started to appear on her cheeks.
Just when Hana was about to respond, Katja's phone rang.
Katja turned, walking back to the dinning table and answering the phone.
Hana shrugged, as she finished washing the dishes, and wiped her hand.
As Hana walked out of the kitchen, next to Katja
Just when Katja finished talking, she hanged up. She turned to Hana.
"Yuri called, he told us to meet up at the church"
"What about the punishment?" Hana said in a slight disappointment
"I guess that would just have to wait" Katja grinned.
Hana let out a sigh, as she mentally cursed Yuri for delaying her quality time with Katja-sama.
"Let's go or we'll be late." Katja ordered.
[LOCATION: 8:30AM – ST. MILHAILOV ACADEMY – CHURCH]
Katja and Hana walked into the church, they could see Yuri with Teresa standing in the front of the Alter, as Sasha and Mafuyu sitting in the front row on the right.
Kataj walked as Hana followed behind, they walked to the front row they sat on the left, across where Sasha and Mafuyu sat.
"Why did call us here today Yuri" Sasha called out without a hesitation.
"Mah Mah, Sasha-kun, no need to be impatient." Yuri said.
He turned to Teresa, as she nodded in response, he turned back to looking at Sasha and Katja, he opened he's eyes and said.
"Today I've called you out because I need you guys to go on a mission for me. This mission isn't anything like the past. The people we are facing are much stronger than the Athos and Adepts in combined."
Sasha turned to look at Yuri with interest, as Katja just gave a response of 'Hmph' as she thought how troublesome.
"I know that, Mafuyu-san and Hana-san are in your final year of school, so you don't have much time, therefore I've granted an extension on your exams, where you will come back to have enough time to study for them and do well in your exam."
Mafuyu and Hana bough sigh in relief, as they didn't have to worry about failing the exam.
"As I continue. Katja I've read the information you've given me. As we research more into it, it is still unclear who we are facing, therefore I've made the decision of sending you guys out to find out who our enemy is but do not confront them no matter what" Yuri said the last part seriously
"If you guys are forcefully been confronted run but do not confront them."
"What! What is the point of running away if we're just going to fight them later" Sasha argued.
"I'll have to agree with Sasha on this, it's easier to kill our enemy as soon as possible." Katja stated.
"That is not the point. With your current skills even with the sixth level, you qwasers are weak to them, your enemies sees you nothing but insects that they can easily crush."
Yuri said seriously, than sighed.
"But anything else, theres is also one more thing." Yuri turned to look at Hana, Hana became confused as, and she was now the centre of the attention.
"W-w-what?" Hana said uncomfortably.
"There was one condition the higher ups made for us to be part of this mission…
Is that Katja, Teresa will be your Maria on this mission."
"What!" Both Katja and Hana called out to Yuri, as they we're both shocked with his decision.
"What is the meaning of this Yuri! Hana is the holder of Magdalen of Thunder, at least she'll be useful during the mission. " Katja called out, as she opposed the idea.
"Even so, the higher ups, does not want Hana to be part of this mission. As they said, they made sure they want you to remember…" Looking at Hana.
"We are spectators, we mustn't interfere with a battle that isn't ours… is what they wanted me to tell you Hana."
Katja looked at Hana with eyes wide with shock, as Hana only clench her teeth and her hand, as she turned away from Katja stare.
As Yuri continued, "But instead, the higher ups wishes you to go along and spectate."
As Katja was about to ask Hana what Yuri meant. Hana stood up, looking at Yuri.
"Spectate? Do they really think Qwasers will be a threat to them?" Hana said curiously.
Katja, Sasha and Mafuyu were definitely confused with what's going on.
"Hana." Yuri said.
What threat and by Qwasers?
As Mafuyu was about to speak, Sasha spoke first. "What does she mean Yuri?" he said seriously.
Yuri sigh, looking back at Hana and said, "It's not Qwaser who they see as a threat…" as he softens his expressions.
Hana nods, as she took a step back, as if she caught herself from falling.
She laughs.
Hana felt something inside of her snap, she couldn't hold in any longer.
Staring angrily at Yuri as she yelled.
"Ha! I get it. They still see me as a threat even after these goddamn 4 years! Instead of following the law made by 'the organization' itself by giving me the proper punishment for the things I've done, but no. They saw us as if we're some kind of rare species, too rare kill… instead they decided to conduct human experiments on us…" Hana glared at him
Yuri turned seriously at Hana. "Hana! Calm down."
Hana was still angry and pissed at the higher ups.
"No! Those were the choices I made! The others should have never suffered! I can't let it go Yuri…"
After a moment of silence, everyone beside Yuri and Hana was shocked what had been said announced.
" You really think I didn't know… that your personal mission was to kill me if I went berserk after those experiments? That's why they temporarily exiled me here. The higher ups don't want to keep something that rampages and can't control itself oh wait it should something they can't control." Hana glared at him.
"Hana, that was the past, that mission no longer exists… You may hate the higher ups what they had done to you and your friends in the past, but you of all people should know at that time it was Odin-sama who was in charge not Rima-sama…" Yuri stated calmly.
Hana looked down as she turned her head away.
Hana knew what he said was true…
Yuri sighed.
"Hana, you misunderstood me… they wanted you be a spectator, not because they saw any of you as a threat, they see the enemy as a threat."
"Than that's even a more reason for me to join the mission!" Hana angrily argued.
"I do not know, the reason why they don't want you to join." Yuri stated.
Hana turned ready to leave.
As she was about to leave, Yuri said to her.
"Along with that the higher ups want you to do this."
"You know I don't take orders from higher ups that work under Odin but Rima-sama herself."
"Don't worry this is by Rima-sama… Odin is corrupted, he had been removed from that position a year ago." Yuri stated
Hana raised one of her eye brow as if this was new news to her.
"Here are all the information you need to know." as he was holding a file.
Hana turned, she grabbed the paper out of his hand, and she quickly flipped through them as she read it.
"Fine. I already memorised the information." Hana said calmly, as she used small electricity, from her hand causing the paper to burn to ash, as she let go of the paper.
"Good. All of you shall leave in a month." Yuri said with a satisfied smile on his face.
Hana only just clench her teeth.
Hana turned leaving, feeling as too many emotion swirling inside of her make her, she started to feel uncomfortable, as if she didn't know which emotion to focus on first.
Hate, Sadness, Sorrow, Regret, etc.
Making her feel as if she felt hard breathe.
Hana walked out of the church as Yuri continued.
"Now that's all sorted, you all may be dismissed"
Mafuyu, Sasha, Teresa and Katja was shocked that Yuri was just going to end this with out any explanation? Like what the hell was going on? What did Hana mean that Yuri's mission was meant to kill her?
"Wait! This isn't sorted at all! What do you mean Teresa is my Maria during the mission and who gives you the right to order my slave!" Katja said angrily.
"Katja these orders are from the higher ups, we can not oppose them no matter how much we hate what we've been told to do." Yuri said calmly.
This irritated Katja.
"Not only that. You need to explain the conversation just now between you and Hana." Sasha said seriously.
"That is our personal business, you all have nothing to do with it, I cannot explain any of it to you until I have been given authority to tell you guys."
Yuri starts to leave with Teresa as they move to the side of the Church exiting.
"Oi! This isn't finished!" Sasha yelled as he stood up from his seat.
The tension was high.
Wanting to loosen up the tension in the room.
"M-maybe they just don't want Hana to get hurt." Mafuyu said uncomfortably. As Sasha nudges her to keep quiet
Katja clench her teeth as she just stood up leaving the church…
Mafuyu scratched the side of her cheek with a sweat-drop
"May be that wasn't a good idea after all… Hee hee hee…"
Sasha just sat in silence.
[LOCATION: 9AM - 2-A CLASSROOM MIDDLE SCHOOL– ST. MILHAILOV ACADEMY]
Katja was sitting in her classroom, looking out the window, she wanted take off what happened in the church today out of her mind.
'What the heck had gone in the church!' as Katja thought irritated.
'Hana mentioned she had human experimentation done to her. Who in the world so cruel would do that? Even I wouldn't be that sadist. But who would've thought she had a bad past just as I did.
That idiot, always acted without care in the world, if she had such a big history why doesn't she ever open up to me… it's not like I'll laugh at her, but than… not like I opened up to her either…
Katja clenched her teeth, as she was still irritated.
'But even if she wasn't human anymore… That still doesn't change the way I view her…' Katja blushed at the thought.
Katja shook her head, these past few Katja had only been able to think of Hana, every time, the more she thought about her, she could feel the 'feeling' inside of her is growing stronger and stronger, day by day.
Stuck in deep thought, Lulu noticed, Katja wasn't her usual self today, she would see random expressions or actions made by Katja, that she would definitely never show the world to.
She didn't know what happened, and she didn't want to upset Katja either, so she decided just to leave Katja alone to herself today, hopefully her mood would be back to normal…
Mean while in 3C classroom of the high school. Mafuyu didn't see Hana in class today, as she sat next to Tomo chatting. She glanced back at the last row in the empty seat next to the window where Hana would usually sit and thought
Hopefully she's okay… After all there wasn't much she could do, though their friendships had gotten a lot better through the past few years, but it was never to the point where Hana would open up to her.
Hana haven't even open up to Miyuri, as if she would open up to her.
She glanced at Sasha, signalling him, about checking up on Hana. He shrugged in response, facing back to the front of the class.
This only pissed Mafuyu as she thought 'That useless Tsundere boy!' She sighed and looked back out the window, as she worried about Hana and Katja.
[LOCATION: 9AM – ROOF – ST. MILHAILOV ACADEMY]
Hana was at the rooftop lying down on the bench looking up at the bright blue sky, she didn't want to attend class today. She wasn't in the mood.
Thinking back about what Yuri said, "We are spectators, we mustn't interfere with a battle that isn't ours…"
"God dammit I know!" Hana yelled, she sat up, facing towards the fence, she could see the horizon of the town and the entrance of their school gates, and with Sakura trees' leaves fall as the wind blew.
She gritted her teeth and mumbled once again "I know…"
After a few hours relaxing on top of the roof…
Hana suddenly started to feel uncomfortable in her chest…
Ba-thump!* Ba-thump!* Ba-thump!*
Hana gripped her chest. What was going on!
She suddenly felt her insides were ripping her! She felt hot, intense pain as if something was trying to get out.
Hana yelled in pain. "Arghh!"
She weakly got off the bench, kneeling on the ground on all fours, as she moved one hand gripping her chest.
Little did she not know, her G-IV tattoo appeared started shining in a bright white colour that was on her left side of her neck.
Her head touching the cold concrete, all she wanted was this pain to stop…
She felt something ripping out from her lower back, "Arrrggghhhh!~~" she cried out.
Drips of blood dropped on to the ground, as it went back inside of her.
Hana collapses onto the concrete, just when she was about to black out, there was someone standing in front of her.
She couldn't make out what the person said and see who the person was as he or she disappeared.
All Hana was able to make out of what he or she said was, "The time will soon come…" before she lost conscious.
Hana's 'G-IV' tattoo mark that was on her left neck, stopped shining, as it faded away, as if it was never there in the first place.
[LOCATION: 3:00PM 2-A CLASSROOM]
Class went by fast, just before Katja said goodbye to Lulu, she decided to ask Lulu.
"Ne, Lulu, would you love someone who wasn't human?"
Lulu who became surprised with Katja's question and excitement, "What's this Katja-chan? C-could it be about Hana-senpai?"
Katja blushed "Just answer the question!"
"Hmm… well if your think from a supernatural perspective I don't think it would matter, as long you love one another, there is no bound that is separating you from each other besides from yourself. " Lulu answered with a smile.
Thinking about Lulu's answer.
"Ha… Than…"she looked to check if someone was listening before asking her question.
"H-how would you show someone you have feelings for if your pride prevents you too… you know…"
"This is about Hana-senpai isn't it!" Lulu happily said.
Cough* "Ahem. Anyways I would try to overcome my pride for someone I love. I mean there's nothing more important than feeling happy if I could be with someone I love." Lulu said she gave Katja a warm smile.
"Right. Well I better go. Bye Lulu"
"Bye Katja-chan."
Katja left the classroom and headed straight towards to Hana's classroom 3-C.
As she was about to enter, Mafuyu had just opened the door with Sasha next to her.
"Katja!"
"What?"
"What are you doing here?"
"To get Hana what else?"
Sasha and Mafuyu both looked at each other than back to Katja.
"Well… She wasn't in class today… So Sasha and I was planning to go and find her."
"She skipped class?"
"You didn't know?" Mafuyu said confused
"How could I know when she walked out of the church before I could stop her." Katja said irritated.
"Calm down Katja, I'm sure we'll be able to find her."
Katja quickly turned around and walked away.
Hopefully to find that idiot pervert of hers, while Sasha and Mafuyu took the turn opposite direction of Katja.
After an hour of looking for her there was still no avail. Sasha and Mafuyu met up with Katja again.
"Did you find her?" Mafuyu asked
"No."
"Maybe she's at home?" Sasha suggested casually.
Katja sigh. "I already tried that, I called the house no one picked up, I even called the security at the apartment they said they haven't seen her enter the apartment either."
After a moment thinking where Hana could be, Katja finally thought of a place only Hana could go with only her powers.
"The roof!" all three of them called out.
They all nodded in determination.
Katja used her Copper doll to carry to the top of the roof, as Sasha carried Mafuyu in a bridal position, making Mafuyu blush, as he jump up to the roof."
Hana was there.
Hana was on the ground, she was unconscious, there was blood around her, and the back of her shirt was ripped as it was covered in blood, but there was no wound.
Everyone was shocked at the scene, as Katja and Sasha was confused why was there blood around Hana but there was no wound.
Mafuyu ran to Hana, brining her head to her lap as she called out to her.
"Hana! Hana! Hana!"
Mafuyu even tried lightly slapping her as she called to her name again, trying to make her conscious.
She even tried slapping a bit harder.
Hana wasn't responding, but at least she was breathing.
Mafuyu felt her forehead, her temperature was high, Mafuyu finally decided.
"We need to take her to the infirmary"
Sasha and Katja both nodded as they took her to the infirmary.
[LOCATION: INFIRMARY – ST. MILHAILOV ACADEMY]
Hana was resting in one of the school beds, still unconscious.
As Katja and Mafuyu were sitting on the empty beds, Sasha who was leaning up against the window, they all waited for the school nurse, Urada Oikawa.
"Oikawa-sensei how's Hana?" Mafuyu said in a worried tone, as the nurse came out of Hana's bed section, she closed the curtain, facing the three of them.
She sighed.
"She's stable for now."
Mafuyu who sighed in relief, Katja and Sasha stared at her seriously.
"From what you had described to me… It seems it happening sooner than I thought…"
"What you mean it's happening sooner than your thought? What happening to Hana!" Katja demanded an answer.
"Nothing. For now I recommend Hana to stay here until she awakens, for now all of you must be tired, you all should return home. I'll drive Hana home when she wakes up."
"What do mean nothing!-"
Katja's protested was cut off as when Sasha held her arm and shook his head.
Sasha and Mafuyu left the infirmary, as Katja was the last one to leave, she took one last look at the closed curtains, where Hana was sleeping and walked out the door, closing the door behind her quietly.
[HANA'S DREAM]
Hana was at the age of 11. It had been a year since Hana's Aunt sent her back.
Hana was wearing a plain black solider uniform. These were normal traditional uniform to all rookie students wore.
"I want to be stronger!" Hana yelled to her senior.
"I'm tired of these weak practices! The only people you put me up against are weak people!" Hana grew angry.
Hana's senior who was training her only shook her head in disappointment.
"Kasuragi-san, training isn't all about becoming stronger, we do not become strong to use it as our vengeance."
"Well maybe it should! I Quit!" Hana yelled. She threw her sword to the ground.
"Oi! Kasuragi!"
Walking off as she heard her senior calling her name and calling her to come back, as well as mutters from the other students.
She felt angry and irritated that their teacher would only teach them all weak moves, always muttering stuff about wisdom, courage and think before you strike, etc.
The only reason she took this class because she used to admire her for being strong and noble. Now, it felt different, she felt it wasn't enough she needed someone stronger…
As Hana was stomping along the hallway, not focusing where she was headed, she bumped into one her seniors.
"Ow! Huh? Zero-senpai! Sorry! I wasn't looking." Hana bowed and looked up at Zero.
Zero was a fearsome and strong person in 'the organization' other people feared her, they would never approach her but not Hana, Hana admired her strength and her power.
Zero wore an elite uniform, Zero had a black captain solider looking suit with a white outline of the uniform, there was white cape on the side covering small parts of her left front shoulder to her back, there was also a chain that connected from where the cape connected, the top left of the shoulder, to the uniform, on the right bottom of her collar bone.
Zero was one of the elite, with her strength, Zero wanted to create a strong system that would vow their loyalty to her and 'the organization' and protect the people they loved, even it meant sacrificed must be made, thus she created the 'G Numbers'.
For now there were only 3 numbers that was establish excluding Zero who was 'G-0'. There was a Tattoo of 'G-0' marked of side of her forehead.
"What wrong Hana? Got scolded by Olly-senpai again?" Zero grinned at her.
Rubbing her hair.
"Gyaaa!~ Stop it Senpai! I'm not a little kid anymore!" Hana pouted.
After moving to a different location, they were sitting on the roof of the clock tower. Sitting on the edge of the bricks, as a shiny gold giant bell was hanging behind them, as the sun glared at the bell.
"Ahahahahahahahaahahaa!" Zero laughed out loudly patting Hana's back.
"I can't believe you did that! Hahahaha! I can totally imagine Olly's expression" Zero wiped her tears from her laughter.
Hana just pouted and felt annoyed how her senpai wasn't taking her seriously.
"But you know Hana… Olly is right, strength isn't just about power… becoming strong also means bringing out what's within you…"
"But that isn't that strength I'm aiming for!"
"Well… maybe you should. Look Hana, as an elite, I certainly have been through what your feeling now. Feeling weak, everyone looking down on you just cause your different than they are… But you know strength also comes from when you meet friends. Why not give Olly's lessons another try? Maybe you will view it differently this time?"
"I don't want to" Hana mumbled.
"I couldn't quiet hear you?" Zero asked Hana to repeat again.
"I said I don't want to!" Hana yelled.
Zero only sighed
"I want you to teach me instead senpai! Your strong, you're an elite! Let me be part of your G Numbers I promise I'll always be loyal to you!"
Zero let out another deep sigh.
"Hana you above all people knows that G Numbers are all hybrids… Are you really willing to give up being human just to become strong?"
"Yes!" Hana said determined.
"Look kid, I like you but maybe you should think this over it? Obviously you're a bit agitated right now. I mean there still a lot of ahead for you in the future?" Zero said trying to change her kyohai's mind.
"No, senpai I've been thinking about it ever since a year ago, when my Aunt took my father's place and feeling weak for the first time. If becoming strong means giving up being human… than so be it!" Hana said out load, full of determination, it moved Zero how determined she was.
Knowing she couldn't change her mind, she sighed.
"Alright, but just so you know, becoming a hybrid, its a lot of pain… There is a possibility you could not survive. Even not being able to control your non-human part…"
Hana gulped and nodded with those determined eyes.
Zero patted Hana's head and looked up at starry sky, thinking how one day, G Numbers could actually become another family to Hana and herself, as she let a small smile cross her face…
[LOCATION: INFIRMARY – ST. MILHAILOV ACADEMY]
Hana slowly open her eyes, as she see's the ceiling of the room, she groans, covered her face with her right palm.
"So~ your finally awake." Oikawa said, who was sitting on a stool next to Hana's bed, she was closed her book she was reading a while ago.
"What am I doing here sensei? I'm sure I was at the roof…"
Suddenly Hana's eyes grew wide she quickly sat up, using her hand clenching her chest, where she felt pain, but she doesn't feel it now.
She quickly turned to the nurse. Before Hana could say anything Oikawa said.
"Katja, Sasha and Mafuyu took you here, as soon as they found you on the roof covered in blood."
"Katja-sama did…" Hana mumbled
"Hana." Oikawa said seriously breaking Hana's thought.
"What happened up there?"
Hana gulped.
She told Oikawa what happened she knew she could partly trust, since Oikawa and Yuri due to their conflicted past, they were the only people in St Milhailov Academy knew about Hana and was sent here as a temporary exiled from 'the organization'.
"I see… Than does that mean it's awakening or are you loosing control?" Oikawa looked into Hana's eyes, she could see fear…
Hana looked away. She clenched her teeth. "I-I d-don't know."
Oikawa sighed. "Than I guess we'll just have to wait an see…"
"You're not going to tell Yuri?" Hana questioned, looking back at her.
"There really isn't a need to tell Yuri. But if something does happen, you don't have to worry, Yuri and I will be able to handle it."
Trusting Oikawa, Hana nodded her head. She got up. Ready to leave.
"Oh one more thing." Okiawa said, as Hana turned facing towards her.
"I wouldn't recommend telling the others for now. Just come up with some random excuse if they ask. Plus I promised them that I would drive you home." Oikawa smiled.
Hana nodded and waited for Oikawa-sensei to finish before they left.
[LOCATION: 10:00 PM – HANA'S APARTMENT]
Hana entered her apartment. It was dark, there were no lights turned on, knowing maybe Katja-sama was asleep.
Hana sighed in relief. Taking off her shoes, she walked down to the hall, to the lounge room, than to the kitchen.
Feeling hungry, she turned the kitchen's light on.
She saw a meal already made in clean wrap.
A smile grew on her face thinking how cute Katja was making dinner for her.
Especially when she was in an apron.
She heated the food and proceeded to eat.
After eating she decided to take a short shower.
She came out wearing her usual PJs a shirt and shorts.
Hana walked into the bedroom, slowly and quietly opening the door, hoping Katja wouldn't wake up.
Katja was there in the bed sleeping soundly, as Hana sighed in relief.
She walked to her side of the bed and slipped in the sheet.
Just as she was about to hug Katja to sleep
"Don't touch me pervert" Katja said a serious voice.
Hana was shocked that Katja was still awake, she was sure Katja was sleeping.
"K-katja-sama?" Hana said nervously…
"You don't deserve to touch me." Did Hana hear her wrong, she felt she heard Katja voiced cracked as she said those words.
Hana pulled Katja's shoulder, making her face her.
"Didn't you hear me? I said don't touch me!"
Hana eyes were wide as she saw, a Katja blue eye was partly red, Katja wouldn't cry for her, would she?
"Kat… Ja-sama…" Hana said. She sat up looking down at Katja.
Katja slowly sat up, facing Hana.
She let her hair fall on top of her body.
Katja was the first one to break the silence.
"I don't know what happened today… S-seeing you… how you reacted to Yuri. I-I don't know what you're thinking anymore…" Katja could feel her words break, as they were full of emotions.
Hana just sat in silence staring at Katja, she didn't know what to feel. Seeing Katja so fragile was definitely her first time.
Katja than continued, "Than when I saw you on the roof top, unconscious, you were covered in blood! What the hell happened Hana! How dare you make your queen worried!" Katja yelled.
Hana wanted calm her Katja-sama, she brought her into a hug, Katja liked it, soothing her back with her right hand. Hana could feel Katja relaxed into her hug.
After a while, Katja broke the hug. Staring into Hana's eyes. God those blue eyes look amazing Hana thought.
When Katja had pulled back and slapped Hana across the face
Katja expression changed, as if she was shooting daggers into her, Hana was shocked at Katja's sudden action.
"W-what was that for?"
"Punishment. For making me worried for a pervert like you." Katja said in a firm voice.
Katja than changed into a relaxing her expression, she went in and kissed where she had slapped Hana.
Now Hana was definitely very confused with Katja's action.
She moved her lips next to Hana's ear as she wrapped her arms around Hana's neck.
"What do you see me as Hana?" Katja said seriously.
"W-what do you mean? As my Queen of course."
"And…?"
"And…" Hana sweat dropped. What did Katja wanted to her say?
"…You are my qwaser and I'm your Maria…?"
"And…?"
"And… I'll always stay loyal to you…?"
Katja sighed. She actually felt a bit disappointed in Hana's choice of words.
Does she really not feel anything for her?
She broke the contact, sitting in front of her staring straight into her eyes.
"Is that all I'm worth to you Hana…?" Katja said in a quiet voice.
"Katja-sama…"
"What I'm saying is! Don't want our relationship to be more than just 'Qwaser and Maria?!" Katja snapped at her, there was a hint of voice hoping Hana will say what she wanted.
Katja couldn't believe how airheaded Hana was.
"…" Hana didn't know what to think or say.
Oh~ what a bliss realizing that Katja-sama was finally returning to her feelings and yet it was Katja hinting her, and wanting Hana to confess to her first.
As she was about to answer, to ask Katja the question what she longed for…
Than suddenly…
Hana remembered what happened in the roof, what Oikawa sensei had said to her in the infirmary "it's either awakening or your loosing control..."
Hana clenched her teeth.
There were two choices.
One to finally become equals with Katja-sama and become her lover that she had always dreamed of…
…But risk of her being killed by loosing control…
Or it was to protect Katja-sama from the distance, even it meant loosing this one and only chance…
Hana would NEVER want to hurt Katja.
Especially by her own hand, she wouldn't know what to do if she did, she could NEVER forgive herself.
There weren't two choices, there was only one. If she really loves Katja-sama… there is only one choice…
She slowly closed her eyes, clenching her eyes shut as if she wished today were all a dream.
Hana places with both of her hand on her shoulder, she could see Katja's light blush on her cheeks.
As Hana mentally said I'm sorry Katja-sama… Opening her eyes again.
She looked into those bright blue eyes and said.
"No I don't... I don't feel anything for you Katja-sama… I'm sorry…" Hana looked away.
Katja was surprised with Hana's response. It wasn't meant to go like this. Katja felt angry, as she stood up on the bed looking down at Hana's helpless form, Hana could feel Katja's stare piercing into her, as she heard Katja-sama yell.
"You're lying! I know you feel something for me!"
"…Just face it Katja-sama. I can't reciprocate your feelings…" looking straight back into her eyes.
Katja just stood there, frozen.
How could Hana do this to her, she just said she would stay loyal…
There was a long silent moment…
" I guess you wouldn't want me in this room with you right now, would you?" Hana said awkwardly.
Hana manage to bring herself up, getting off the bed and closing the door behind.
She collapses, sliding her back onto the cold doorframe, as she let the back of her headrest on the cold doorframe, she could feel the cold, sitting on the floor. She let a tear fall from her eye.
"What have I done…" Hana muttered, as she used her right hand covering her eyes.
Katja was still standing on the bed.
What the hell just happened, this wasn't how Katja planned, she planned that Hana was finally going to confess to her, and later they would have an amazing sex and she would tell Hana that no matter what decision Yuri or the Higher Ups had made, she would always be her one and only Maria and lover.
Katja's plans were all abolished.
Katja even threw her pride away for her.
She felt anger towards Hana's disappointing answer but mostly towards for herself, for falling in love with her Maria.
Pssf! What a joke...
…The joke was certainly on her.
She should have never let herself get close to these feelings.
Sitting back down on the bed.
She covered herself in the sheets and let herself drift to sleep, letting herself cry for Hana one last time.
[LOCATION: UNKNOWN]
Later that night…
Hana left the apartment. Wondering into the streets down to the dark alleyway.
Hana was wearing a black hooded jacket, with dark colour jeans and boots.
As she continued walking down the alley, the only reason she was there was to pick up fights, so she could get off these uneasy feelings inside of her.
To take out the hate she had for herself, for making Katja hurt.
She came across I bunch of old thugs, smoking and laughing at the back of the ally, there was about 3 of them, one of them sitting on top of a green dumpster.
"…And so I told her my jokes, she got so caught up in it, I was even able to get her number."
"Yeah right, your jokes had always been lame, you sure you're not making this up?"
"Want to bet? Tomorrow at the train station, if I can't pick up a girl with my lame jokes, I'll shall shout you both ramen." He smiled.
"You bet! Man I'm looking forward to it." They all laugh.
Hana continued walking towards them.
The three guys stopped laughing, as they heard footsteps coming towards them.
Hana walked till she was visible, they couldn't make out who she was, with the hood covering her face.
"What do you want kid?" one of the guys said seriously.
"Someone to take my anger out on."
"Huh?" they all stood up, the one sitting on the dumpster was now standing one the ground.
One of the guys walked up to Hana grabbing her collar of her jacket.
But little did he know, Hana had shocked him unconscious.
Electricity danced throughout the area.
Bolts of electricity bouncing out of Hana's hair, the other two guys began to fear.
"Come on guys, the fun only… just begun…" Hana grinned.
Okay that is it for Chapter 3. I still feel like I jumped the gun a bit to early…
If wondering here is quick answer to your question.
Is Hana becoming evil?
Not quiet. She only wanted to use them to take out on the anger she had for herself for loosing the opportunity with Katja. Of course that is her own fault but she did it to protect her, sound pretty cliche huh?
Was that electricity from her power of as a Maria of Magdalen of Thunder or was it was it the power from the White Tiger, Byakko?
I never said Hana couldn't use Byakko powers but who knows you just got to wait and see ;) cough* in the next chapter cough*
Did Katja actually have feelings for Hana? And for how long?
Yes, because she had felt towards Hana for a while but because of her pride, she never let it show and if she didn't, she wouldn't have let Hana kiss her like that in Chapter 2 ;).
For how long? i say since probably just before the the war between Qwaser and Adepts ended or even during the war. but she probably didn't realise only until after the war.
I'll write Chapter 4 when I figure something to write.
