Chapter 2: Entangled

We can't change. We can't return. Quietly, quietly, the two of us are entangled Yokan by Dir en Grey

I still remember our first meeting in my head clearly. That time, we knew nothing about each other. I was just a transferred student in his class. We knew nothing… I knew nothing about him, about this school, about this country… I couldn't speak Japanese clearly, which always made my self bullied by all of my classmates. I mean, all of my classmates except him.

He always sat there, busy with books, never really gave attention to the others. When the first time I entered the class, he just took a glance at me, and then back to his book. I wanted to know, who was that boy? Never gave attention to the world… what a weird guy.

And when all of my classmates laughed at the way I spoke, he just ignored them. Busy with his books. I wanted to know, what made him like that? Why he didn't join his friends to laughed at me? I wanted to know.

So then one day I walked toward him and asked him in Chinese: "Ni shi Yagyuu ma?"

He raised his eyebrow and I notice that he didn't understand my question. So I spoke once more with Japanese which my mother always taught me: "Yo-u are— Yagyuu- ri-ght??" It didn't really succeed, I thought he would laugh at like everyone else did, but he didn't. he answered me harshly: "Yes. What do you want?" although he spoke unkindly, I thought that was better than getting laughed at. So then I smiled and clenched his hand tightly, and spoke again . "I- think- yo-u ha-ve kno-w who- I- a-m? I-m Niou Masaharu, ju-st tra-ns-fer-re-d fr-om Beijing. Wo-uld yo-u l-ik-e to be- m-y fried?"

He looked like he didn't understand. Maybe there were mistakes in my sentence?

"Friend, you mean?" he corrected me. So I really did make a mistake.

"Ah, yes, fri-end, not fried. Wo-uld you?" I smiled once more. He sighed. It seem like he force himself, because then, he smiled back and nodded. "Of course. My name is Yagyuu, Yagyuu Hiroshi."

All of our classmates snickered and shouted, like "Woohoo Mr Gentleman!" or something like that. That time, I didn't understand why he was called Mr. Gentleman. But thinking about it now, maybe that was because he helped a poor foreign student in his class? Haa… thinking about old time always make me laugh. What a silly thing. I can't believe my olds self was like that.

Thinking about old things… How is that 'Yagyuu' guy now? Five years… five years we didn't meet each other… I really miss him so much. Is he alive? I hope he is. If not, it would be useless I stay here until now. I'd heard about his parents, but I never heard anything about him. although just a little, there was hope. I believe in that.

"Hoi, Xiao Lang, what are you doing there? Standing on the empty ground like that…" someone called me and woke me up from my thoughts. Yes, Xiao Lang. That was my name right now. No more 'Niou Masaharu'. Niou Masaharu was just my beautiful dream when I was a kid. I'm glad I could be 'Niou Masaharu' even just for three years... ah, maybe less than three years.

"Nope. You know? Three years ago, there was a biiiiiiiig school stand here," I gestured with my hands and made a huge circle, "named Rikkaidai Fuzoku. Its has a very strong, cool tennis club in its middle school." I smiled to the man in front of me. "Ooh, I heard about that. You were there as (1)Bai Long Xian's spy, right? That must be hard for 12 year old boy…"

"What did you say? Although I was called a spy, what I did was just tell the old man about situation here… ah, old times… make us want to cry, right?"

The man laugh. "A Xiao Lang cries? So there must be a storm tomorrow! How could a boy who killed his own father cry?"

I laughed a bitter laugh. That's right. This 'Xiao Lang' was not human anymore. 'Niou Masaharu' was, a human, but he was dying with the ruins of the Rikkaidai Fuzoku building. Dead with the memory of a weird, interesting boy named Yagyuu Hiroshi.

I lit a cigarette, sucked on it for a moment and threw it afar, towards the high sun in the sky.

"So let's go, Xiao Lang, or the captain would be mad at us again. We heard interesting news that NFT would attack us this afternoon. It would be your first mission in this region, right?"

I raised my eyebrow. "NFT? Ah, that Nippon Freedom Troop? Geez, how many times must they attack us? They must know they won't win against us…" I cleaned my ear with my forefinger. Just cleared one naughty troop would be easy. If not, I would not called as 'little wolf from east'(2).

Having checked my gun, I left the empty ground which was known as my old school. (3)Zài Jiàn, Rikkaidai Fuzoku. Clenched my gun, I never looked back again.

To be Continued

(1) Err, Chinese isn't my first language too, so I opened my Mandarin dictionary for it. 'Bai Long Xian' means 'The God of White Dragon'. Please tell me if that was wrong, so I can correct it...

(2) Xiao Lang mean 'little wolf'. Honestly, it was my friend's Chinese name, and somehow it heard kinda cool, so I use it. Sorry, Kira!

(3) Zài Jiàn mean 'good bye' in Chinese.

Yay, This time it was Niou's POV. Yes, maybe this time it looks more resemble Code Geass, which Niou on Suzaku's side and Yagyuu on Lelouch's side (although I think Niou would be a good Zero... XD)

No, there won't a Zero here, or this fic would be more complicate and that make my head hurt. Write this fic like commit suicide for me since English isn't my 1st language and I don't know vocabulary too much... ;;Cries;;

Yup, they would meet at next chapter, so please read it, ok? I wait for your review... I'm a lazy girl and somehow review make me more diligent. Once more, Big thanks for DarkDemonCat-san to the beta. ILU so much!!
