Hi there! Thank god I could finally uptade this chapter! Since I was picked to help the big orchestra playing for this Saturday, I'm really tired just for praticing from 7 pm - 9 pm... And it's not plus with the badminton extra that I have in school...

I'm trying my best to keep up with this update, trying t get some inspiration, or maybe I just could asked AkiraSuzumine to help me... *cross fingers*

Shintaro couldn't stop looking at girl who's now walking beside him as the new member of Mekakushi Dan...

She really petite, her height is around his arms and shoulders, lower than Hibiya, but much quiter than everyone in the Mekakushi Dan that crossed out Mary and Seto, or maybe Konoha who didn't talk much...

She makes him remember about Kido when she was young (in the photo frame) but 'Maki's' hair was a bit longer than Kido used to have.

"So, how long you've stay here?"

Maki quiet to be shocked as Shintaro throws that answer to her.

"Eh... About 2 years..." she said tighten her jacket closer. Her eyes were shining, that makes Shintaro already get what she wanted.

"If you want to ask something just go ahead" he said slightly but confident.

"Eh? Really, Shintaro-sama?" cried Maki turning her head to Shintaro.

"Wait?! When the heck you know my name?" shocked Shintaro looking at Maki with her cute small eyes.

"E... I heard Ayano-sama called your name" Maki tilting her head to Shintaro. Ah... yeah, she was hidding in the locker when he came out. "Shintaro-sama..."."Hmm?"

"What's a Heat-Haze?"

Shintaro froze and now most of the people in the street watch him froze in his place. How in the world that 10-year-old girl just asked that question?! And now, how could he answer her question? They're on the way to the Base! Shintaro sighs and turned back to Maki.

"I'll explain that later, first we need to go somewhere" he said walking in front of Maki. "Where?" asked Maki with a small run chasing Shintaro between a bunch of crowds. "You'll see" he said taking his phone from his pocket, 10.30... he was glad that Ene had move to Momo's phone, just in case when she made 'jinx' in her concert. "Shintaro-sama?"."What?" he said.

"Is this place... Heat-Haze... is scary?" asked Maki. "I guess... Why?" he glared at Maki. "I've got this dream, again, and again... I...I...I watched a truck when I looked at it again... the truck explode.." said Maki with shivers in her voice.

Wait... Explode? A truck? Please don't say she just got hit by a truck just the same way as Hibiya does...

Shintaro led her to the crossing place and waited for the lights turn green.

"No, this place won't be like terrifiying, it will be fine" he said as Maki gave him a big smile.

"Really? Sugoii! I can't wait!" she cheered and gave Shintaro a big hug.

Shintaro almost lost his balance as Maki quickly hug him, it felt... warm, just like when... before he changed and acted towards coldness to Momo... it felt... so... Argh! Why would he do that?!

"Okay, that's enough" said Shintaro as Maki release her hug.

The crossing lights turn green...

"Well we should get going now, we won't be late, huh?!" said Shintaro walked to the crossing line.

"Okay"

Even before Maki could touch the crossing line, she turned her head to the left and saw a truck driving in a high speed to Shintaro... The speed was incredibly fast in could just hit him in a few seconds...

"SHINTARO-SAMA!" cried Maki.

Shintaro turned his head to the left as his eyes widen saw that truck heading towards him... Even he's going to ran away, it's too late. Then, it felt as the time slow down...

Maki's eyes quickly flashed in red...

The truck exploded into million pieces, just a few meters in front of Shintaro who already kneeled down and put his hand on his head...

The pieces of the truck flew into different place and got on fire... The crowds at the street quickly scrambled to the place, looking at the pieces of the truck that just got on fire... even the driver wasn't seen anywhere...

Shintaro opens his eyes as he saw the truck was gone and was exploded into million pieces, he turned his head where Maki was standing terrified... 'It...it...it...happen again' she mumbled. Her dream just turned into a reality... Well he doesn't want to spent more time here sitting around and trying to figure what just happen... The sirien of the police cars were there, Shintaro quickly stood up dragging Maki with him, and disappeared around the corner...

Back at the crowds...

In the middle of the crowds, a familiar smirk was looking at the accident... he was there watching the accident from the beginning...

"Wow... Kido would have to know about this..." he giggled and moved out from the crowds

There you have it! Chapter Two! Wow, her nightmare did come true! Maybe you guys can notice the person in the crowds... well then, See U at the next chapter!
