A Certain Crusade

Chapter 2: Start of Something New Part 2

It was afterschool and Rosette and Joshua were called to the teacher's room, for the third time in the last two weeks.

Rosette had cleaning duty today and went to the teacher's room later. When she got there her brother was already being scolded by his teacher, Yomikawa Aiho, a young woman with dark hair and powerful, yet inviting aura. Rosette likes her because of her "take no crap attitude"; it might also be because of her admiration towards women in uniform (but that's a whole other story).

Rosette looked to the other side of the room and saw three of her classmates who were being reprimanded by the very teacher she had to see. She walked towards the group of boys standing in front of the small pink haired woman sitting on an office chair. Her child-like face was in an angry-pout, that made her look even less like the adult she is, or is assumed to be. She had one had on her hip while the other was pointing and moving in the air, gesticulating her point to the boys she was currently berating.

'Ugh, why do I have to in trouble with these idiots,' Rosette thought to herself, referring to the three idiots of her class, Aogami, Tsuchimikado, and Touma. Although this was not the first time this has happened, since it seems she has a habit of getting in trouble, she still didn't like being scolded with them. It's not like she had hated them or anything, no, in fact, she, like the rest of her class, enjoys the rowdy and friendly atmosphere the class. It's just that she can't stand it when one of the idiots, specifically Aogami or Tsuchimikado, says something annoying or perverted, because then she gets the urge to slap someone(which has happened on multiple occasions).

Her teacher, Tsukuyomi Komoe, finally noticed her presence and looked over, "Christopher-san, so glad you here. You need to hear what I have to say too," Komoe-sensei went back to her ranting -err scolding. "Now, the four of you are my most frequent trouble makers and I really need you guys to try to be more attentive in class. When you are late or…," by now Rosette had stopped paying attention to what Komoe-sensei was saying. She looked over to the boy standing next to her, Touma.

Rosette and Joshua had known Touma since elementary school and have gone to the same school as him since then. He has always been a level zero but the both of them had seen his strange ability. He had once helped them using this ability to nullify things and for Rosette and Joshua it was quite a shock. They questioned whether the ability was magic or science because, yes, they knew about the two sides of the coin and their conflicting nature. Never once had they voiced their opinion because they feared that the ability may be something more than magic or science; something the two understand better than anyone.

"Do I have something one my face," asked Touma, making Rosette realize she was staring.

"No, I was just thinking how it is you always end up being scolded by Komoe-sensei?" she says in an attempt to avoid a possibly embarrassing situation.

"But you're being scolded too."

"Well thanks to some idiot I was late this morning," Rosette retorted back.

"How was that my fault?'

"You weren't watching were you were going."

"But you weren't either," Touma was now starting to feel offended.

"Are you trying to say that this morning was my fault," Rosette's voice was slowly getting darker and more terrifying.

"Bad idea Kami-yan, never piss off Rose-chi," was Tsuchimikado's two cent remark to the situation, "You know she's extremely violent, but judging from the lump on your head you must have already experienced that today."

"Stay out of it Tsuchimikado," was Rosette's response as her voice started to rise, "and don't call me 'Rose-chi'." The blonde haired boy does not seem to be phased by Rosette, even though he must remember how many times his trademark sunglasses have been broken by her.

"Shh," Aogami, the boy with strange blue hair and squinty eye, decided to but in and remind the three of them that that they were currently being scolded. They had been whispering until now but their conversation was getting louder, Rosette blaming the other two, and Komoe-sensei was bound to notice, even in the middle of her rant.

"Well she wouldn't be scolding us if you guys didn't sleep in class," Rosette had gone back to a whisper but her voice didn't get any kinder.

"So now you're blaming us," Tsuchimikado joined the banter, "You're the one who was late, Rose-chi." The last comment had made Rosette twitch.

Before Rosette could get back at him Komoe-sensei interrupted, "That's right Rosette-san, each of you are equally guilty of an offense. So I'll ask that you all not argue while I am trying to explain that," seems she noticed their conversation through her rant.

The four of them spent the next hour and a half listening to Komoe-sensei.

A girl with forest eyes and dark hair, which went to the middle of her back, was sitting on a park bench staring, with a bored expression, at a group of children playing. A sudden tune came from her pocket and she pulled out her phone. The message on the screen read,

"To: Saten

From: Mikoto

Subject: Sorry

Something came up and I can't meet you today."

A sigh escaped her lips as she leaned her head back to stare at the sky. 'Seriously, how can they all be busy,' was all Saten could think as she realized she had no one to hang out with.

It was after school and Saten Ruiko had been walking around Academy City, alone. She had been left all to herself since her friends were all "too busy". Uiharu and Shirai-san were on Judgment duty, Erii-chan was visiting Banri-san, and now Mikoto-san was busy doing whatever, probably hunting down some Gekoda Keychain. This left Saten with nothing to do but wander around, which according to Uiharu is a bad thing considering Saten's attraction for trouble.

A sudden tap at Saten's foot alerted her, "Onee-san, could you pass it back," she looked up to the group of children who were waiting to get back their Frisbee.

Breaking out of her contemplation she answered, "Uh, sure," Saten threw the Frisbee back towards the children but like Uiharu said, she had an attraction for trouble, and the Frisbee curved to the side, straight toward a guy on a bike.

'Oh no,' was all she could think before the guy was knocked right off his bike, the bike continuing on until it swerved and fell.

Saten and the group of children ran to the guy, who was now lying sideways on the ground. When they got close to him Saten noticed that his leg had a large cut in it, probably from the bike itself, running up his calf. The guy sat up and clutched his leg to stop the pain.

"I am so sorry! Here let me help you up," Saten was at the guy's side helping him to his feet. He had a pained expression on his face as he was limping, with one arm over Saten's shoulder for support.

Saten was having a growing feeling of guilt growing in the pit of her stomach, "I am so sorry! Do you need something? Water? Bandages? Should I call an ambulance!?" Saten was starting to get hysterical as she looked at the guys bleeding leg.

"I'm fine it's only a scrape," was all he said while trying to calm his facial expression, though it was obvious it hurt. "Could you help me over to that bench," he motioned toward the bench with a shelter.

Saten helped him sit down and the children brought his bike over. "You all can go and play, don't worry about me," was what the guy said to the kids that had been waiting awkwardly while staring at his bleeding leg.

After the kids went back to playing the guy looked towards Saten, "Could you hand me my bag?" he asked her politely and pointed towards the back pack that was hanging on the bike, which Saten just noticed had also fallen with him.

"Here you go. Do you need anything else?" Saten couldn't help but ask since the current situation was her fault.

"No, this is all I need," the guy reassured her as he pulled out, what appeared to be, a first aid kit, "Although, I could use your help with this."

"Sure," was all she could say, being dumb struck by how polite he was being to the person who just knocked him off his bike and got him injured. If it had been her or anyone else they would probably be yelling or complaining.

"Thanks," he smiled up at her, "I'm Saeki Yuu, by the way. You can just call me Yuu. What's your name?"

"It's Saten, Saten Ruiko, and you can call me Saten," Saten finally got a good look at the guy, Yuu, and she noticed his handsome features. He had sandy brown hair, and hazel eyes, and had the calm, mature look to him. He was in high school judging by his uniform.

As Saten was bandaging his leg, the guilt still getting to her, she really wished she could help stop the pain. As she thought this a golden light flowed around her hands. She was shocked but was even more so when she noticed what the light was doing.

"What the..." Yuu had also noticed the light looked shocked, "what is that, your ability?"

"N-no way! I'm a level Zero!" Saten was starting to freak out again. Then just as she started to calm down the light vanished.

"W-what?" were the dual responses to the disappearance of the golden glow.

There was a moment of silence, "Are you sure you're a level zero?" was the question that followed.

"I have always thought I was. But now...," Saten

"Hmm," Saten looked up to see Yuu in deep thought.

"Do you know something? Is this your ability?"

"Impossible," Yuu was broken from his contemplation, "I am also a level Zero and I have no clue what's going on. But something is definitely strange. This doesn't seem like an ability at all."

"What do you mean?" Saten stared up at him confused.

"N-nothing really. Just saying that it's strange that a gold light healed my leg."

"It healed your leg!?" was the shocked shout Saten gave as a she digested what she just heard.

Yuu unwrapped the newly bandaged leg to show Saten. She got a closer at look and, just as he said, underneath the dried blood there was no injury whatsoever, not even a scar remained. Saten's brain just stopped all together. She couldn't understand what was happening at all, first she is ditched by her friends, then she injures some cool guy, and now his injury just up and disappeared.

"..en-san, Saten-san, Saten Ruiko-san!"

"H-huh!" Saten was broken out of her thoughts as she realized she was just spacing out, "Sorry what did you just say?"

"I said, before you had your mental break down," Yuu just smirked at her embarrassed look as he said that, "I have to go," Saten started to feel a little sad at hearing he was leaving. "But here's my number," he handed her a slip of paper.

"W-why?" Saten took the paper looking confused.

"Well I want to understand what just happened to my leg," he said to her matter-of-factly, which Saten was a little disappointed about, "plus you seem interesting." Yuu finished his statement and turned to his bike.

Saten had a small blush on her face as Yuu left, wondering just what he meant by 'interesting'. 'Guess being attracted to trouble has it's perks,' Saten just smiled to herself as she thought this.

She spent the rest of her time wandering around the City thinking about what just occurred. She may have been confused about the gold light but she couldn't have cared less as she looked at the piece of paper that had Yuu's number on it.

What Saten didn't realize was that things were starting to stir up from just that one instance.

Joshua and Rosette were walking home after school after Komoe-sensei's scolding on Rosette, Touma, Tsuchimikado, and Aogami. The four of them left after Komoe-sensei had finished telling them, "to do better because I know you can." Rosette had gone home with Joshua, complaining all the way about the three idiots.

"Seriously Rosette! I can't believe how many times this has happened and you still get mad," was Joshua's remark to her complaining.

"How can I not get mad when those idiots always get me in trouble?" she huffed out.

"Didn't you get in trouble for getting to school late and not paying attention in class? Besides this morning was both yours and Touma's fault and..." this earned Joshua a glare from his sister which almost made him stop his comment but he continued, "and I'm sure you where the one spacing out."

Joshua looked up in thought for a second before asking, "Why were you spacing out the entire day, even this morning?"

This made Rosette stop staring daggers as she was taken aback. "N-no reason, just lack of sleep," she stammered out and look away. After awhile her embarrassed look disappeared as she started to star off into space for what seemed like the millionth time today. She noticed she did it again and tried to go back to looking angry but...

Joshua noticed the reserved look from the corner of his eye and recognized it immediately. His expression had gone from a teasing smirk to a small smile. He stopped right in his tracks.

Rosette stopped to question him, when she looked back she saw him staring directly at the sky with his eyes closed and that small sincere smile on his face.

"Every living thing is connected under this wide sky, so it's always possible to find someone again," Joshua was now looking directly at Rosette, "Right!" he grinned at her.

Rosette just stared at her brother, dumbstruck. She blinked a couple of times before replying with an identical grin, "I have no clue what you're saying, baka!" Rosette was now beaming, "But your right, the sky is wide so there's no time to walk around looking lost."

With new found determination, for who knows what, Rosette walked the rest of the way home with him her head held high.

Somewhere in another country...

"Sister Gertrude, we've detected another awakening," a young girl, in her teens and nun's attire, said to a figure at a desk. The girl seemed to be out of breath and had spoken in urgency.

The person at the desk, Sister Gertrude, just sighed and stood up. The light in the room revealing a young woman with an aged expression as she stared out of the office window into the morning light*. She also had a nun's attire that was slightly different from the girls and she had soft brown hair and dark chestnut eyes.

"Get those two ready to head to the destination," Sister Gertrude said to the girl.

"But Sister, they're still not..."

"Get them ready," Sister Gertrude cut the girl off, "they are the best choices, besides they should be able to handle themselves no matter where they go."

"But Sister, that's the thing, the place the awakening was detected was Academy City," the girl tried to plead with the Sister about changing her decision.

"What! Academy City, are you sure," the girl just nodded, "I see then I will need to discuss with the elders but it does not change my decision. Those two will be the ones to do this mission and that's final."

"Yes, Sister Gertrude," the girl bowed her head and exited the room.

The tired Sister let out another sigh, "Things will be trouble from now on." She looked out the window once again, "I hope those two do their best as members of the Order of Magdalene."

Even though the Sister had trust in the two people she couldn't help but worry for their safety.

Rubypearl31— Chapter 2 done! Now how was that?

Rosette— So she's a...

Touma— A what?

Rubypearl31— Don't say it! It's not time. Stay out of it Touma!

Rosette— Okay, okay. By the way.. WHERE'S CHRONO!

Rubypearl31— I never said he would be in this chapter.

Touma— Who's Chrono?

Rosette— None of your business! *glares at Touma and balls up fist*

Rubypearl31— Now, now no fighting here.

Touma— Isn't that the only thing that happens here.

Rubypearl31— No that's arguing not fighting.

Touma— What's the difference?

Rubypearl31— I'll show you the difference! *tackles Touma*

Rosette—Well thank you for reading. *bows and gets bumped* That's it! *joins the fray*

(Notes):

*The scene was across the world so while it was evening in Japan it was morning in America.

Preview:

"Az, did the Order have any more information on who we're looking for? Like their name or school?," a boy with strikingly red eyes and long purple hair asked the platinum haired girl next to him.

She looked up at him, her rose colored eyes shining clear as day, "No clue, the only information I got was her name."

"Seriously you have to believe me, this golden light just appeared and healed his leg!" Saten told her disbelieving friend. She couldn't blame her for blowing off her story though, Saten couldn't believe it herself. Saten just thought that one of Academy's City's Level Fives would be willing to believe since they are out of the ordinary themselves.
