Upon hearing her name, the young girl's grin turned into a frown. She raised her other hand and removed Black Rock Shooter's grip on her clothes, then she twisted and slammed Rock into the tree to her right. The girl gave her a disapproving look as she slumped from the impact.
"You shouldn't call me by that name anymore, Rock," she said nonchalantly while brushing off the dirt from her clothes. "I'm known as Gold Saw now. Or you can just call me Gold though." Gold walked away from the tree she was pushed in earlier and looked at the other girl trying to stand back up. Once upright, Rock stared right back at her.
Suddenly, Rock sprinted from her spot towards Gold, who just moved to the side to dodge it. She expected that though, and Rock turned mid-spring to grab her.
Gold, however, seemed to have expected it and caught her hand like last time. Then she used Rock's momentum to make her open and aimed a kick to her gut.
At the last moment, Rock managed to move her remaining arm to her stomach, lessening the blow. She still got pushed back by it though, and her arm was now in pain. She was trying to think of a battle plan when Gold started charging towards her this time.
Rock tried to move away but Gold still managed to snag her arm, the one that was kicked earlier. The moment she pulled that arm, Rock felt a jolt of pain run through it, distracting her. That moment was enough for the girl to knock Rock off her feet and into the grassy ground.
She tried to rise up, but Gold quickly pinned her down by pushing Rock's head sideways into the ground while putting her weight on Rock's good hand. Rock tried to use her other arm but the pain from moving it nearly made her faint. The girl's bodies weren't as durable as their original ones.
"Would you calm down and listen for a second?"Gold asked as Rock struggled under her grip. "You really need to learn some patience, Rock, instead of attacking people immediately," then sighed when Rock just kept on struggling.
This continued for a couple more minutes before Rock finally decided to stop moving. Gold raised her hand slightly, to test if the girl was listening.
Nope. If Black Rock Shooter was anything, it was being stubborn.
After she felt the decrease in pressure, Rock immediately raised her head and tried biting Gold's hand. Gold managed to move it away on time. Then she made a "tsk tsk" sound before balling her hand into a fist and punched Rock in the forehead.
"Do you think it's alright for that body to take this much abuse?"
"...fine, I will listen," the girl finally conceded. 'Damn it.'
Gold nodded at her words and fully let go of her this time. She stepped away to let Rock fix herself a bit before moving closer. Rock eyed her cautiously, but kept her promise not to hit her. This time at least.
"Hmm. Looks like you've integrated yourself well with your host," Gold exclaimed. "From what I observed, you only came here yesterday, right?"
"...hey wait, how did you know that?" Rock asked.
Sure she was a bit confused yesterday, but she didn't really do anything weird or out of the ordinary. Rock also wasn't able to guess that it was Black Gold Saw or that this girl even had one, and Gold didn't really seem to know it was Rock until after she grabbed her. Then that would mean...
"...you were spying on Mato before I showed up," Rock concluded. "But how were you able to guess that this girl had any connections to our world?"
Expecting a smug expression on her face, Rock was surprised when Gold's face had a sheepish look. And instead of proudly stating whatever reason she had known, Gold actually seemed hesitant! Rock was so stunned that it took her a full minute to recover.
"Ah... I didn't actually know or expected anything..."
"...wait, so you were spying on Mato for no reason at all?"
"Oh no no, it was actually from the girl herself who was doing it before I came along," Gold corrected her.
"...but why are you still doing it then?" Rock asked. "I don't think anyone knows that girl is doing this spying, so you can just do something else."
"Huh? What are you talking about?" Gold looked at her with raised eyebrows. "I don't have control of this girl's interests. If she wants to stalk your host she can choose so."
Now it was Rock's turn to look confused. "Wait a minute... are you saying your host is here and has control?"
"Well not total control of course," Gold shakes her head. "Actually, id say have total control... I just let the girl on the reigns most of the time as its bothersome to pretend," she explained. Then she looked at Rock with a grin creeping up her face. "Are you saying that you cant do that?"
"Eh its not like that..." Rock trailed off as Gold continued smirking at her. That old familiar smirk, infuriating her so much that Rock stepped on Gold's leg. Gold winced but decided not to retaliate. She did drop her smirk though.
"So you cant call on your host, huh. Well, I think I can help you with that but..." she glanced at her back. "...it doesn't look like we have the time for that."
Rock followed her gaze and noticed the students leaving the school. She pulled out her cellphone to check, and sure enough classes were ending. Looks like they were out here for quite some time...
Gold went to one of the bushes and fished out what must be her bag. She pulled out a comb from the front pocket and started combing her hair. "Honestly Rock, you ought to learn to contain yourself more."
"Hey, you were the one who hit me in the end and I didn't," Rock protested.
"Anyway I need to leave now," Gold sighed, ignoring Rock's outburst. "I need to get to some place to prevent this girl from noticing something different."
"Huh, so your host doesn't know about you?"
Gold nodded. "Of course. It would be best if she knew nothing about our world, it would cause problems later you know?"
Rock just nodded back, deciding not to mention allowing Mato into their world and using her body. She'd tell that some other time. Instead, Rock decided to follow suite and fix herself like Gold was doing, smoothing the wrinkles on her clothes, brushing off the dirt and leaves and fixing her hair.
It took them several minutes to finish, mostly due to Rock taking long since her arm was still sprained. Gold offered to help, but as usual Rock stubbornly declined. "We'll met tomorrow night at that hill," she said once Rock was done. "There I'll tell you what I know of and you can tell me of yours." She started walking back but stopped. "Oh you should leave first, I'll leave later once there's less students to see me."
Rock just grunted and started walking, then she remembered something. "Hey, I forgot to ask you something," Rock said. "What your name in this world?"
"Huh, you don't know? Ah never mind," Gold shook her head. "That girl seemed to have forgotten, so its understandable you don't know." Then she started wearing her traditional smirk again. "But it's pretty dull to just say it like this, so why don't we introduce ourselves?"
Rock sighed, but decided to go with it. She turned around to face her with an outstretched hand.
"My name is Kuroi Mato," Rock said in her monotone voice. Doesn't mean she couldn't rain on her parade though.
Gold was not to be deterred though. She changed her smirk into a smile and stepped forward to grasp Rock's hand.
"And my name is Irino Saya," Gold said in a cheerful voice. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Kuroi-san."
well this took quite a long time to write, I was unsure of where to place the girls. I could have had them wander around in the otherworld, but I have some vague plans on that already that wouldnt work quite well if I put them there.
plus also as we saw in the OVA, mato and BRS merged rather than swap places. so its the same thing in here, just the opposite in that BRS is the pilot of mato's body like mato was in hers.
as for the saya, I decided to use her name rather than come up with a different one. plus both of them look the same anyway, lets just imagine that saya in here is not ahead of the others. plus I think it would be weird and unfair for some of the girls to be adult while most are in the same age group, it would also be harder to create an even level with the characters that way.
its also important to note guys, that while the OVA is the setting of the story, it doesnt exclude other characters from appearing here. so il be picking up some more later from the anime as well as wiki(im not associated with the game so I wont use those characters, plus they seem to have a different plot that would conflict with mine).
as always, read and review. help me improve this story.
