Sorry for the wait. Chapter two is finally out.

This is one of my own stories that was originally created by me. Though, I didn't exactly know which genre to but this story as, I had to move some bits here and there to make it alike (well, sort of like) Elfen Lied. Some of the characters are mine, whereas the original creator is Lynn Okamoto. (I'm just the creator of the story.)

Disclaimer: I don't own Elfen Lied. In fact, Lynn Okamoto is the original creator of Elfen Lied. I'm just the creator of this story.

Recap: Chapter 1 (Misery)

Nyu's thoughts became blank in an instant. Nothing came to her mind, except for all the words that certain people had said to her. Nyu sobbed, placing her hands onto her face, and shredding her tears into small pieces of damped ashes. Her heart skipped a beat from every comment that replayed in her head. It stung her heart, breaking her fragile heart into tiny sets of broken glass. The words just kept on playing…

"There's no way I'd come to like a girl with such strange horns."

"Warmth and love. I'm the one who took everything from you..."

Chapter Two
Unexpected

There was a dark figure leaning on the bathroom sink in the School's girl's toilets. She ruffled her slightly wet hair, making her long hair blacker than it was before. The girl started running her slender fingers through her hair, towards her scrambled black ribbon on the left side of her head. She began sighing at her thought.

"Phew… It's still not noticeable."

As she fixed up her big black ribbon on the side of her head, she ran her fingers off her hair, and fixed the ribbon on the opposite side of her hair. She took her ribbon apart, so that the ribbon's slash swayed left to right, when she place near the end of the slash on her lip. The ribbon's slash moved freely on the end, as the tip of her lip held the slash still. Looking at the mirror straight in front of her, the door on the right-hand side of the bathroom swayed open. A girl with light blonde hair, tied up in a ponytail, with two clips attached on the right-side of her forehead, where her bangs were neatly pinned across, had walked in.

"Oh, hey Nyu-chan. I didn't think you'd be in here." The girl said in a shocked tone. She stopped for a moment, as the door slowly made its way to its point. Nyu turned her head towards the person who had just took her first few steps in the girls' toilets. Nyu's eyes grew wide.

"Nami-chan…"Nyu whispered below her breath. Her slash dropped on the ground slowly, like a light feather that had fallen from a bird. A silence filled the atmosphere with awkwardness between them. It was like they were speaking in telepathy in their heads, sending messages to each other.

Nanami Okawa. Known as Nami when it comes to people she knows, or is in close relation to her. She's definitely a female, age 16, with her birthday on April 21st. Nanami Okawa is very talented with sports, and loves to do every sports out there. Although, she is only 15, and loves to do sports, she agrees that she isn't all that good when it comes to knowledge. She has light blonde hair, tied up in a ponytail for sports, and two bobby pins clipped on the right-side of her forehead, where her bangs were neatly pinned. She has clear sky blue eyes, showing calm and relaxing expression upon her face. Nanami is very fit, has issues doing her own understanding of knowledge, or studying, but, however, is friendly, and is a good sportsmanship player. She has won seven competitions for athletics, and is still going in spring.

"Nyu-chan. That's a cute hair accessory on the side of your head. Where'd you get it? Oh, wait! I bet that you got it from that new shop, PetalMix." Nanami Okawa walked towards Nyu, who just froze still, wandering what to say.

"Accessory?" That was the first thing Nyu had replied, questioning whether if she would freak and tell the whole school about this new 'accessory' that Nyu has.

"Yeah. You know? That little horn on that's on the side of your head." Nanami walked closer, then stopped in front of Nyu. Nyu froze again, wandering what to say.

"Horn…" – The word whirled inside her empty thoughts.

Nanami reached her hand out in front of Nyu. Nyu didn't stop her. – She was still wandering whether if Nanami would freak out. Nanami's hand almost touching the right side of her head, getting closer onto the horn sticking out of Nyu's head. Nyu immediately snapped back to reality. She blinked twice, staring lightly towards Nanami's strange actions towards her 'accessory', before interfering her arm near Nanami's hand.

"What're you doing?" Nyu answered, giving a confused look.

"Sorry. It's just that I wanted to touch your little horn on your head. It looks cute." Nanami smiled, dropping her hands behind her, and smiling like she was still young.

"Cute…?" Nyu raised her left eyebrow at her, waiting for an answer.

"Yeah. Where'd you get it? You got it from PetalMix, didn't you? Right? I'm right, aren't I?"

"Uh-huh…?" Nyu answered, giving a 'I-really-don't-get-you' stare.

"Ah, so it isn't. Oh well. I was supposed to do something, but I forgot what it was." Nanami raised her index finger and poked it below her upper lip. She stared above the dull ceilings, covered in white, before picking up Nyu's black ribbon on the tiled clean floor.

"Here." Nanami pulled Nyu's arm out, holding out her hand still. She placed Nyu's slash onto her palm before closing it tight. As she closed it tight, her left hand was below Nyu's hand, and the right hand was on top of her hand, feeling the warmth running through them.

"I guess this belongs to you. I forgot what I was supposed to do, but I guess I'll quickly go to the tennis courts." Nanami sweetly said, giving one of her caring smiles. She turned around, and skipped her way out the bathroom.

"Nami…" Nyu held her position for a moment, clenching tightly onto the ribbon on her palms. She closed her eyes, and smiled before turning herself around, and fixed her hair with a ribbon on. – She was glad that Nanami Okawa didn't touch something that would make her freak out and hate Nyu inside.
