Chapter 2: Discovered
{Hokuto's P.O.V}
Well now; that went swimmingly well. Hokuto found herself struggling not to laugh at the very memory of the phone call. The shock in her grandmother's voice was…well priceless. This was it wasn't it? Even her own blood thought she had been brought back to help Subaru. The question was..could she fix him? Did she have that sort of power? With uncertainty came, inevitably, suspicion, and above all confusion. 'Maybe I should make myself a target of Sakurazukamori?'
"..." Frowning, she shook the irritating thought from her head, that would just put him in more pain. Then again; it may be the only way to get his attention. So; what was the best way to get yourself noticed? Yes; Hokuto Sumeragi was not in the best of moods. She had really messed with destiny when she'd had Seishirou kill her; she was never supposed to die, after all. Still, Hokuto took pride in laughing in the face of so-called 'destiny', she'd choose her own life, thank you very much. So why was she standing in the freezing cold; in the middle of the park? Simple. Someone was supposed to be picking her up. But it had been over two hours. When the hell was the supposed person coming? She sighed and kept walking before a familiar; yet emotionless voice broke her concentration.
"Hokuto?"
{Subaru's P.O.V}
Subaru was not having a good day. Of course, waking up with a migraine was one thing, waking up sensing a familiar presence was another. Disorientation didn't suit him; and bumping into furniture was not something he wanted to be seen doing. After spending and hour in the shower, he dressed and walked back into his bedroom. He reached for the window handle, but paused, staring out at Tokyo, still alive and awake even at such a late hour.
"Ohayou…nee-chan..Seishirou-san." He couldn't remember when he started doing this. It had become a ritual of sorts. And emerald eye followed by a brown eye looked over towards the phone as it rang; quite loudly. Interrupting his thoughts no less.
"What do you want?" he asked uncharacteristically in a venomous; yet cold voice.
"Is that any way to talk to your grandmother child? Pardon my interuption since you've only just woken up, but I need you to pick someone up for me."
Subaru blinked and frowned, "Who exactly; if I may ask is this person. What do they look like and where do I pick them up?"
"To the park where you first met that man. As for who..you'll know when you see them. Goodbye..oh and Subaru. Call me back when you pick them up."
Without another word she hung up.
Subaru twitched and cursed quite colorfully under his breathe and put the phone back on the receiver. It wasn't like he had much of a choice. Putting on a coat he locked his door and off he went. He sighed and looked around the park before freezing in his tracks. There was no way in hell it could be her. But..it looked just like her.
"Hokuto?"
{Hokuto P.O.V}
Hokuto felt her heart rate increase as she headed down the long corridor. It was nice to see Subaru again but; he had changed far from what she expected. He was so cold.
He led her to a meeting room and sat down; he seemed to be putting his thought's together before he finally spoke. She resisted the urge to flinch.
"Okay first off..how the hell are you alive? I saw you die Sumeragi."
Sumeragi? What happened to calling her Hokuto or nee-chan?
"To be honest I have no clue Subaru. One minute I was still..you know and then the next I find myself in a weird place."
"A weird place. That doesn't help much Sumeragi." Subaru replied completely unimpressed by her response.
"Drop the Sumeragi Subaru! I'm Hokuto, your sister!" she snapped back towards him.
Subaru raised an eyebrow at her outburst and smiled and at that Hokuto flinched. His smile resembled Seishirou's. "Of course ," he practically spat. "You also hid the fact you knew he was Sakurazukamori and then went and got yourself killed."
"I-I hid it to protect you. I died protecting you too…I just didn't want to see you hurt." She replied back.
"Yeah well it didn't help now did it?"
Within a second she raised her hand and it sounded like a whip had just been used. Her hand stinged from slapping him as tears fell from her eyes. No words formed so instead; she turned and ran out of the house.
{Author's Note: I feel bad for making Subaru an ass here. But it will all be explained in Chapter 3 I promise!}
