Psychic Academy: On the Other Side

Based on the popular manga series by Katsu Aki

By Darkensea

Chapter 18:

Xaioto stood on the roof of the school building. The wind encircled him, wrapping him up in a twister of rose petals and a mellow harmony of music. Jynn and Moon sat against the protective barrier. They were both playing a musical duet, a harmony that could only come from two people who knew each other very well. Moon had reverted to using his saxophone, one he kept in his room, so his brother could sense the air movement.

As a result of their fight, they were both put on suspension for a month. They were restricted from leaving campus or going to classes, a punishment which they believed to be pointless. This punishment however gave the two an endless amount of time to get to know each other again, and the brothers had become inseparable. Xaioto and Soni joined them during the breaks in their schedules. So far three weeks of their punishment had passed.

Xaioto found Jynn to really be a nice guy. Every time they were together Jynn took some time out to help Xaioto rebuild his connection to the wind which he had lost. Jynn ability to manipulate and generate wind with his aura allowed him to silently talk to Xaioto by passing messages along the wind. Moon also seemed to be working on a similar connection.

Jykelle had the hardest time adjusting to the new arrangements. She seemed to have a low tolerance for sitting still, and hated to be confined to the school grounds. However she refused to leave Jynn and go elsewhere. She constantly was pacing like a caged animal waiting for release, unless Xaioto lulled her to sleep with his calming mist. Something Jynn constantly thanked him for.

Both Jykelle and Yukeri sat next to their lovers, sleeping on their shoulders, an effect Xaioto had caused to stop them from fighting each other.

Even though the brothers had put their differences aside and became good friends, there was something that their girlfriends didn't like about the other, usually forcing the boys to pull apart their fights. Jynn attributed this to Jykelle's restlessness of being forced to stay on campus.

"Xaio," Jynn said. "Defender activity seemed to have quieted down since we were put on suspension. Why do you think that is?"

"Your fight wasn't exactly a secret. Unlike my dealing with the Defenders in the past, everyone in the school saw your fight. The lesser Defenders are scared. Moon matched your power equally, though they don't know that was only because he spun out." He paused. "Try and put yourself in their shoes. Their leader gets into an epic battle with Xaioto of the mist's best friend, and they destroy a large portion of the school. Xaioto steps in and when the mist clears both of you are unconscious. Now both Moon and you are on suspension which means you have nothing to do but your jobs defending people. Do you think they would try anything to attract Moon or my attention?"

"I see. It's fear."

"You can sense it on the wind. Everyone is afraid of us, students and teachers. If the rumors that you have joined Moon and I have spread already, then no one wants to deal with the three of us."

"Bullying in this school has stopped completely." Jynn stated. "I want to say mission accomplished, but I know it is only temporary."

"Protecting those we care about is never finished." Xaioto cupped his hands together and let the rose petals encircling him collect in his hands. The wind around him quieted down and he sighed heavily.

"Suspension ends in a week and I want to take you, your girlfriend, Moon and Yukeri out."

"That would be nice. I look forward to it."

"You're missing one small problem." Moon cut in. "You don't officially have a girlfriend. You're two-timing Myria and Soni, Remember."

"I'm not two-timing them. Soni is a close friend and Myria is my cousin."

"Bull." Moon replied, "Complete and utter bull. Let's review your record."

"Hey, what the golem did was not under my control."

"I never saw the golem or his actions so I can't factor those in, though Doc said the golem was acting on your consciousness and impulses so everything it did you would do if you had no morals or restraints." Moon paused. "But anyway, for Soni, there was that nice romantic episode on the beach after midterm exams. Which I had to save you for."

"That was only a way of saying thank you for looking after me."

"Only a way of saying thanks? Well I'm glad you didn't thank me for saving you that day. You want to say you have no feeling for her whatsoever?" Xaioto fell silent. Moon continued. "I thought so. Then there is Myria, who you slept with like two months ago. Who you may have forgotten is not really your cousin."

"You slept with Myria?" Jynn asked.

"She jumped into my room and I fell asleep with her next to me, that all that's happened."

"Not to mention all the things you do when I am not around to make a note of." Moon continued.

"Looks like you need to grow a spine and choose one of them." Jynn said. The brothers looked at each other and nodded. "You have a week to make a decision. Take the girl you chose with you on this outing. That is your mission for this week."

Xaioto returned to the dorm feeling tired and exhausted. The brothers had placed a time limit on decisions that shouldn't be made too rashly. Moon and Jynn had gone to the student lounge to play air hockey, leaving him only to make his decision. He switched on Moon's radio, and sat on the edge of his bed.

The truth was he didn't really know how he felt about either girl. He cared for both of them and didn't want to hurt them. Choosing one would definitely hurt the other. That was something he couldn't do.

Something coiled its way around his waist, reawakening him from his thoughts. "What's wrong, you seem down." It was Myria. She had mastered sneaking into his room without attracting dorm management's attention.

"It's been a long day." He said. "I'm just tired."

"It's been hard to hang out with you this semester; our schedules don't match up much."

"I know." He said turning to face her. He gently pulled her into a resting position, and coiled a thin transparent stream of mist around her. "It seems having you sneaking into my room is the only way I get to see you."

Myria yawned. "It seems so." She managed to say softly before she slipped off to sleep. Xaioto watched her sleep peacefully for a while. His power was definitely getting stronger. He put her to sleep in a few seconds and she didn't even notice him using his aura.

He need time to think, and interactions with Myria might skew his decision, she was better off asleep. He pulled the sleeping girl into a light embrace and closed his eyes, reviewing everything that had happened between him and Myria since he first met her. He decided that he really didn't need to make a decision yet, he just needed a date for next week and the girl sleeping in his arms would do fine. He really didn't see her much this semester so, going out with her would be a nice change. He let the fatigue of the day take over him.
