Author: Plapoop, it's so boring here at our house and I was really hot- tempered today. But now, no. So this is what I've made. Chapter 6. It made me relaxed. *Sigh* Scroll down, scroll up, guys. :D

Latter from the last chapter:

Hitomi was chilling. Haiiro wasn't asleep again and he noticed it. He carefully got the blanket, not to pull Hitomi's arms to wake her up. Instead of using the short blanket that wasn't enough for him, he laid the blanket over Hitomi. Sweet, eh?

Finally they were asleep, Hitomi uttered:

"Thank you, idiot… good night."

Haiiro woke up and smiled. He wanted to reply back, to hug her, but he didn't.

Chapter 6

"Finally!" Hitomi shouted with honor and joy as soon as she was free from the "Haunted Handcuff" she calls. "The handcuff days are over!" She continued, while drawing an x-mark on the calendar date.

She could remember the days that were really good for Minoru. It's like a song "Wherever you will go". Haiiro comes with her wherever she goes like a tail.

-Flashback-

"What's up Hitomi and Haiiro… Hitomi… Haiiro… Why does Haiiro goes with you wherever you'll go?"

Megumi, the tallest girl of all the girls of their class asked confusingly, while looking down at her.

The fierce in her blood was boiling, adrenaline pumping her heart and nerves were almost seen from the skin of her forehead. Ever since Haiiro was transferred in her class, everything went superbly crazy. But well, he did give her adventures and she wasn't bored even though she's always getting mad at him. She already realized that as soon as she had seen him worried at the time when they were locked and when she got a little problem on her feet and legs. Unfortunately, she didn't even get a single conscience for what she did to Haiiro before that. And now, she got karma. She went handcuffed together with the man she's always been annoyed, and getting infuriated with.

"Hi, Megumi." Hitomi answered, looking up to her in reply.

"Today, I'm not fine." She continued.

"Why not, you don't look sick." Megumi rested her chin on her palm.

"I am not sick. Wanna know why? It's because we're closer than ever!" Hitomi pulled their handcuffed hands to show it to her.

"Oh… but why? Did you do some kind of a crime or somethin'?"

"Oh, yes. We fought back the other day and I punched Haiiro. And we we're chasing each other at the stairs for about 1 hour until I got tired. For her, it is a crime!" Hitomi glared at Minoru.

"Whoa. Okay, well see yah… good luck with that." Megumi turned back and half-ran along the sunny hallway.

-End of flashback-

Hitomi's POV:

It can't be avoided; students in the high school are stitching gossips about us. Like:

"They robbed a toy store, together."

I mean, what the hell are they talking about?! Toy store?! What are we supposed to do with those toys? Give it to poor people and children like um, Robin Hood?

"They are together, together."

Okay, so this one's got a little good point *blush* BUT, Hitomi, I mean I am somewhat abnormal and so do Haiiro when it comes to relationships. You know old-fashioned pips?

"They stole a bike and rode in it together."

Stealing a bike. Right. I don't even know how to ride a bike! Haiiro? He doesn't want to go to jail, okay?

"Hah, finally." Haiiro sighed in relief and comfort.

"If you're relieved, I am more relieved." Hitomi said, while stretching her fingers. Close, open. Close, open.

"Aw, I'll miss those times. Can you please fight again? Please?" Minoru pouted and blinked her eyes beautifully.

"How about please kill him? Please?" Hitomi smirked.

"So, I'll take that as a no." Minoru went quiet.

The three continued to walk home and the place they were walking was dim. It wasn't familiar to them now. The mark glowed on Hitomi's skin.

She topped and crumpled the sleeve of her blouse. She took fast breaths and accidentally dropped her bag while stepping backward.

"Are… are you okay Hitomi? Are you having asthma or what...?" Minoru asked her eyes filled with anxiety.

"Yeah, monkey. You okay?" Haiiro asked in agreement with Minoru.

"I-I don't know, I feel someone… he is coming… when the time comes…" Hitomi said with a poker face.

"What? I don't understand you."

"AGH!!! What am I saying?! The!#%&" Hitomi screamed and kneeled on the damp in weakness. A light stroke on their place and 2 women came out from there.

"Who are you two? Pixie or fairies? Tooth fairy?!" Hitomi asked in shock.

"You believe in tooth fairies?" Minoru turned her head to Hitomi.

"Will you please take off that stupid light?!"

"It's not a stupid light." The other woman said a little annoyed.

"It's the portal to the other world you're supposed to live in. We came here to get you and you fellow friends." The woman said who seemed to be calm unlike the other one. She gave a look at Minoru and Haiiro.

"We don't have any bad intentions. We need you Hitomi, don't worry our master will explain everything to you when we get there especially that mark on you wrist that you've been questioning for years."

She continued while lending her hand and showing a necklace with the same mark on her wrist.

"Fine, then. I'll come but tell me, why on earth did you select this place to get us? You can get me at my house, my…hey!" Hitomi said and she found herself and Minoru and Haiiro succumbed in the portal. Then they were gone. After that, the light posts around the corner lit.

Hitomi lose her consciousness and energy after being sucked inside the portal.

She was opening her eyes slowly. She was thinking that maybe the first person I'll see will be Haiiro or Minoru. As soon as she can open it, a face of a fat, white eyed (his eyes were circle and big) and red-haired man was gazing at her. This made Hitomi scream and raise up from her bed.

"Wahh!!! Wah!!!"

"Ahh!" The man also did scream, like a girl.

"Who are you?! Who is this creature?!" Hitomi yelled. She can hear an echo of her voice; it was a beautiful, wonderful and calm place she'd ever seen.

"You're awake, Miss Hitomi. He is Shijo. He is our Guardian here. He is really like that; he keeps on staring at the new humans he'll see at this place." The "calm lady" as she calls said giving her a cup of tea.

"Oh but… can you now explain why are we here? You said you don't have bad intentions but now look, you're giving me a cardiac arrest!" Hitomi exclaimed and once again her voice echoed.

"Our master will explain it to you."

"Wait… where is Minoru and Haiiro-…" she continued.

"Hitomi! Good thing you're awake! Look! I got these delicious udon noodles and rice from this table! I was so hungry that's why I didn't wait for you any longer." Minoru cheerfully said.

"Obviously… you were too hungry…" Hitomi stared at the table with bowls, 10 bowls of empty noodles and rice were stack up.

"Don't look at me… I just ate three… Oh c'mon! It's not bad to eat! Will you please stop the torture look?" Minoru stopped sipping the noodle strands.

"Where is Haiiro?"

"Hmm… I don't know," Minoru said with a grinning smile.

"Well I just woke up and I was alone in a room." She continued but she was absolutely lying.

"Oh… I-I see…" Hitomi's face went to a somber and it was obvious she was anxious.

"I really don't know where he is…" Minoru replied. It seems she has this eviilll plan for the two, again.

"Oh, well okay. Whatever." She replied back and got out from the bed.

"Fairies, let's get back to business. So what's with the getting and your real purpose from our mortal world, I should say?"

"Hitomi-san. Please don't call us fairies, we have names. I am Oda and this is Inaru." Oda said calmly. So she was the calm one and Inaru's the fierce one.

"Ow, okay. Sorry."

"Please come with us. We'll lead you to her room. Also bring Minoru along with you."

"Sugoi! Look at this vase! It's so…" Minoru poked the vase and seemed to be really expensive.

"Stop it, Minoru, please. Haven't you ever seen a vase?"

"Er… no. Kidding! I've seen one of course. What do you think of me a caveman? It's just this one looks really antique and expensive.

"Welcome." A voice of a lady came from the dark.

"I'm Yumi. I was the one who ordered them to get you."

"Er… right."

"My purpose is…you are not a mortal. You are not any kind of a lady in you world. The spirit of everything pertaining to your surroundings is within your body. You have these powers and you are one of the powerful children back in the year you were born here. Everyone here's been waiting for you to arrive again. I know that because I am your mothe-"

Yumi cut her words trying to keep her secret, she was scared for what would possibly happen if she tells the truth; for the 16 years she left Hitomi alone.

"Er… uh, what?" Hitomi glared at her and froze for a second.

"I don't understand… wait!" Hitomi paused for a moment, thinking what she'll say as her reactions in the statements Yumi told her.

"First of all, I grew up in an orphanage until I was 14. How could that possibly happen that I lived here? They said my mother was found dead on an airplane and then I was found by a worker working in an orphanage. So why would I belong to the children you were talking about. Sure do, I know I have these peculiar powers but look, I was born there not here! Get out of my life!" Hitomi angrily yelled at her, stomping her feet at the marble floor.

Yumi was shocked, surprised, in grief, and anxious. How far can Hitomi get enraged if she'll know she's her mother? It will be better if I she'll not know about me. She thought to herself.

"Hi-Hitomi, I… I know you won't believe this at first but you'll understand it sooner. Here. Take a look at this necklace." Yumi gave the necklace with the same emboss of Hitomi's mark on her wrist.

"It's…it's the same… h-how did you get it?" Hitomi asked, realizing she was over bounds.

"I got it from…" Yumi paused thinking of something that may hide the truth about it.

"I got it from my friend who was tasked to do this one by your mother."

"My mother…"

"Yes, she said to me that I must keep it to give it to you when you'll get yourself here." Yumi lied again.

"Back to m purpose, Equinox is chasing after you for the past days, trying to kill you because you are the key to open to door that can penetrate his inhumane powers. You're the only one who can save this world and the…"

"Mortal world?" Hitomi sulked and clenched her fists tight.

"Yes."

"Who is Equinox anyway?"

"Equinox was a former guardian of this place but he became envious because of all the stories he found out about you. He wants to own your abilities."

"What the… I don't want this! All I ever wanted is a normal, peaceful life, with my friends and food!"

"Well, dear. You can't leave and turn your back to us. It's too late. You don't actually belong to the mortal world."

"But…"

"I can protect you."

"How? Oh c'mon, you can't possibly do that."

"By your friends."

"Oh no. Don't you dare touch my friends or else…!" Hitomi cried out loudly as she held Minoru's arms backwards.

"Minoru and Haiiro." Yumi said, looking to the dark pavement .

There Haiiro appeared, wearing an armor.

"Haiiro?!" Hitomi's eyes went big as plates and shouted in relief.

"Haiiro you're alive!" Hitomi ran to him and hugged her like there's no one around.

"This is going to be great… Hehehe." Minoru whispered, and took out her video camera.

"What the heck are you wearing?" Hitomi said, letting go.

"You like it? I've been roaming around a room and I found this one. I tried it on."

"Crap. I thought you were an idiot wearing a foil. Anyway, Yumi. He will be the one to protect me with Minoru???"

"Definitely."

"No way! That idiot?! He can't do anything right! I knew it! You plotted against me while I was asleep!"

"Wha? Hey, stop accusing. I was in the armory room." Haiiro replied, taking off the armor out of his body.

"I'll give you a little prize if you'll do it, Haiiro." Yumi pressed together her lips.

"That'll be…"

"I know he won't take it."

"Cool."

"What?!?" Hitomi released the rolled newspaper out from her sling bag and whacked it in his head.

"Are you out of your mind?!"

Hitomi stiffened her body as soon she was finished talking with Yumi about everything mysterious.

She faced a mirror and mumbled to herself.

"What if I am really from this world…no it can't be."

She was thinking of many things, wondering if they'll still go home, from the beautiful but the worst world when she already knew where she came from.

She laid herself on the big bed and closed her eyes for a minute. She fell asleep and a dream appeared on her head.

"Save us... save us…."

"Hitomi! Hitomi! Wake up!" The male voice was calling her name.

She woke up and lose her mind upon seeing she fell on the floor *thug*. A pair of jade-green eyes was staring at her softly.

"Ouch…" Hitomi felt her forehead was aching.

"Haiiro? What are you doing here?" Her sight was dizzy.

"I came here to call you for dinner. Then I heard you were talking with someone" Haiiro touched her forehead, worrying. He wrapped his handkerchief around it to reduce the bleeding. Hitomi smiled and flushed into a red face.

"You are doing your job right now, aren't you?" Hitomi smirked, looking away from him.

"Hmm, I think so. Let's go." Haiiro lend his hand and help her to stand up.
