Chapter 2

"hey I'm going to go to the club room do you want to come with me?"

"sure" they trooped they way across the school corridors, Moka grabbing Tsukune by the arm, as guy stare dumbfounded at Tsukune's luck. They entered the newspaper club room there was Gin ready a magazine, which had a picture of a model in a swimsuit looking at him, typical pervert gin. Kurumu was also already there, Waiting for Tsukune. and Yukari shortly arrived. After getting some work done for the club Tsukune noticed something different

"hey, where's Mizore"

"I don't know, see was in lesson..." Moka answered.

"check under the table, she might be there! It wouldn't be the first time!"

"no, nothing"

"that's...strange..."

Kasai strolled along the empty corridor on the top level of the school one should be up here and this was the way he liked it. avoiding contact. He never got on with others. He never wanted to come to school, but a series of unexpected events lead him here. He felt always to blame, even if it wasn't his fault. He kept his head bowed. And out of the way. It was his fault that he couldn't control his power.

Hairs stood up on the back of his neck. He had the usually feeling of being watched. He sensed someone behind him. He didn't like it. he raised his head slightly and spoke to the empty hall way

"who are you?"

no one spoke, silence except the sound of footsteps. Coming from the pillar. Kasai spun around and was a girl, a very pretty girl with purple short hair. Purple striped stockings and miniskirt.

"why are you following me?" he asked without a trace of kindness.

"you interest me" she spoke, tilting her head.

"well, don't. You'll live longer, the last friend I have had severe burns and had to be in hospital for months, I wouldn't want such a fate for a beautiful girl like yourself. excuse me." He said turning his back on her.

"you think... I'm beautiful?" she asked smiling the lolly still in her mouth. He stopped in his tracks and said, not evening looking at her

"sure, but that's why I'm doing it... to protect you. please leave me alone" he said, this time it wasn't stern, but full of emotion. Perhaps Mizore had imagined it but she thought she saw sparks fly from his right hand. Mizore, undeterred by this continued stalking him. Making no effort to hide herself.

"look, I don't want to be friends. I'll only put you in danger" he said as he carried on Mizore ignored his words as she asked

"What's your name?"

"Kasai, but that doesn't matter... I just wan..."

"why don't you come to the newspaper club?" she offered. Yet again Kasai stopped in his tracks.

"why would I do that?"

"because we can be friends..."

"like I said I don't want friends..." he stepped forwards only one step before Mizore called him yet again.

"I know your power; I know why you're scared. We the same"

"where nothing alike!"

"yes, we are and I can explain..."

He shrugged. "can't hurt to hear what you have to say" as he turned around and for the first time Mizore saw him, a kind broken boy who had been through so much who didn't understand the ture meaning of his past or his power.

"come with me" she said calling from the classroom to her left.

It was empty, with a standard backboard and desks. Mizore turned to him and Kasai closed the door behind him.

"we are the same as we get more powerful as our emotions increase" she explained to him.

"huh?"

"unfortunately you get scared and unhappy. For us this causes huge problems. We get out of control... you know the feeling I'm talking about..." she said shyly.

"uh huh" Kasai nodded

"well, you must blame yourself for the outbursts you can't control, I had the same problem..." she took a breath "but I mastered it when I meet my friends, so I know what you feel like. I want to help you... Like a boy once helped me" she said added in an undertone.

Fire had been produced from Kasai's hand, he hadn't noticed. He didn't know how he should feel. Thankful, scared that he might hurt or worse?

"aghhh!" he yelled as he noticed the fire had engulfed his arm he began franticly waving it to try to extinguish the flame but this resulted it in spreading as he panicked. Mizore took out her lolly and blew some cold air on to him.

It hurt, but the fire was out as Kasai calmed down again.

"I'm sorry, but that's why I mustn't befriend anyone..." clutching his now ice cold arm. She tilted her head again

"but, we're friends aren't we?" she asked, with a half cute, half upset tone

"I don't even know you're name!" Kasai protested

"it's Mizore, why don't you come to the club room?"

"like I said, I can't control myself; I don't want anyone to get close to!"

"we're friends now" Mizore said taking a few steps forward. Eye's transfixed on him.

"fine... but... no! ...but" Mizore sent another stream of cold air against his now flesh lit flame.

"follow me" she said as she eyed him carefully. Guess I don't have a choice.
