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 2 (Unexpected)

"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.

Chapter Three
Understanding

Nyu walked out from the bathroom when she finished tying her black ribbon on her hair, hiding away her hideous horns sticking out form her head. Getting a weird and awkward feeling roaming under her skin, she felt like a chill of horror tingled up in her spine. She continued to walk around the halls to her destination, ignoring the dreadfulness vibes tingling under her skin, and up her spine. Not knowing what to do, the feelings that she had grew more heavy and close. The closer she walked near her destination, the heavier the feeling she got increased.

"Nyu-chan." A familiar boy's voice entered inside Nyu's head. The vibes she got had lessen its heaviness, and became unimportant to her. A feeling that made her feel uncomfortable and not wanted inside, just before then. Now, standing behind her is someone familiar, and makes her feel like she was finally free from a weird feeling that stalked her like a ghost. That person was like a light to her. – A light that made her feel normal and human inside.

"Eh?" She twisted her head around, facing towards the one and only person that would call her, other than Yuka. – Kohta.

Kohta is one of Nyu's closest friends, other than Yuka. Kohta is also Yuka's cousins, but hasn't seen each other for 8 years. Kohta has short black hair, light black eyes, tanned skin, quite tall and pretty thin from the looks of it. He has a nice and caring personality when it comes to people he knows and cares for. He is also protective to those around him, and is extremely generous. Thus, he is kind, friendly, and respects those around him, he doesn't remember most parts of his memories. He use to live with his father and younger sister, but moved to live with Yuka in a closed-down inn. His father and his younger sister had died from an unknown reason that Kohta, himself, doesn't know. (Due to his memories, Kohta doesn't know most pieces of his memories, especially knowing how his father and his sister had died.)

"Kohta-kun!" Nyu turned her dull eyes into a happy expression. Showing her love in a friendship way, she turned around towards Kohta, who was behind her, and wrapped her arms around his neck. Kohta held his arms wide, and wrapped his arms around Nyu's waist showing his affection in a friendly way. He smiled cheerfully as Nyu squeezed him tightly, and placed her head onto his chest, hearing his heart beats thump each second. Ignoring his blush on his cheeks, he pulled Nyu away from him, and stared straight towards her light silver-grey eyes. As his redness of his blush faded, he opened up his lips, about to say something.

"I can't walk with you today. Sorry, Nyu-chan." Kohta spoke first, in a calm relaxing tone. Nyu's eyes curved into a slight frown, pouting her mouth together.

"Aww… Why, Kohta-kun?" Nyu answered while sticking her mouth out like a fish under water. Her eyes fell into a teary emotion, and positioned her arms on the back, clutching to her slender fingers, as she wondered about Kohta.

"I'm walking with Yuka today, since she has an umbrella today. It's pouring rain outside, and I didn't even bring one with me. Other than that, we do live together, since we are cousins and all. Also, Yuka's taking me to meet up with her parents after school. After all, it has been awhile since I've actually seen them. I'll walk with you tomorrow, if you're not busy?" Kohta explained quite softly. He gave a quick sweat drop on the side of his head, and rubbed the back of his head, as if someone had whacked him on the back of his head in pain.

"Ah, I see. I didn't bring an umbrella with me, either. But I'm sure I can figure something out in the end… hopefully." Nyu softly spoke, turning her head away from Kohta, as she spoke the last word. – "Hopefully…"

"C'mon, cheer up, Nyu-chan. I don't exactly want to go myself. I'd rather walk with you. However, Yuka already made plans to take me with her to meet her parents. Gomen nasai, Nyu-chan." Kohta's tone seemed regretful that he couldn't get to walk with his beloved friend, Nyu. He blushed at the last thought, thinking that it didn't come out of his mouth. The words he said weren't supposed to turn out the way it did. However, the way he said, "I'd rather walk with you" seemed much more sincere towards Nyu. Her emotions changed in an instant, creating an awkward moment for the two of them. Nyu was much shocked with Kohta from the way he said those words in affection, and sincere. A pink-ish red appeared on her pale soft face, blushing like she had done something embarrassing. Her heart started beating quickly, thumping inside her like a drum. Nyu started to panic.

"You don't have to apologize formally. I'm not like my teacher that would make people do that. – No way!" Nyu wavered her hands in front of her, showing a hand signal, saying 'no way'. Her eyes were directly made into a face where a sweat drop would slide off the side of her face. The flush of red faded along with her emotional breakdown issues, drowned all her panic and heartbeat away.

"Ah, it's okay. I know I didn't have to be formal with you, but it's practically the only way to show how sorry I am."

"It's okay. It's not like it can be helped now. Anyway, I have to go, before I'll be scolded by Sawako-sensei." Nyu replied as she ran towards her classroom not far from where she last stood.

"Bye Kohta! See you tomorrow!" Nyu swiftly gestured her hand in the air, calling out with her free hand, and running towards her classroom at the same time.

"See you tomorrow too, Nyu!" Kohta called out to her before he turned around and walked along the hall way, surrounded by a couple of students around him.
