"What. What is he?" Shido exclaimed over the comm.
"To be honest, I don't have a clue. I've never seen or heard about male spirits." Kotori replied.
"Heh, it might be a bit tougher to seal him." She said.
"Seriously? That's not funny." Shido said, he had no clue how he was supposed to seal this spirit.
"Oh? Shido. Strange name." The spirit said to Shido, "Have I heard that somewhere? I swear I have." He muttered. He obviously hadn't realised that Shido had a comm, or he had but ignored it.
"Hey! It's not strange! It's common here!" Shido huffed, this one was certainly had very few manners.
"Strange."
"Common."
"Strange."
"COMMON."
"STRANGE."
"IT'S COMMON!" Shido screamed.
"…. Strange." The spirit replied, he started laughing.
"Why are you laughing?" Shido asked
"It's funny that you're getting so worked up about it!" Shido rolled his eyes but studied the spirit closely. It was boy (although it shouldn't have been possible) and looked about Kotori and Yoshino's age. He had brown, messy hair and bright blue eyes.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" The spirit said. Shido cursed under his breath, the spirit had noticed.
"Shido! Be careful about what you say, his mood meter is dropping and he's starting to get suspicious."
"Well... um… It's just that, you're… um… different."
"Really? How so?" The spirit asked, he cocked his head, curious.
"His mood meter's going up! Keep going."
"Well, you're different because you are the first of your kind we've ever seen."
"Really? What does that me-"He stopped mid-sentence and jumped backwards. A second later an AST energy sword appeared where he was standing a moment ago.

"Damn! The AST finally found him!" Kotori exclaimed, "Get out of there!"
"Right." Shido ran into the safe structure of a building, he peeked out the window so he could see what was going on. Suddenly a girl with white hair appeared. This girl was Tobiichi Origami, a general of the AST. She was also crazy for Shido.
"Umm, who are you?" The spirit asked her, confused. Where had the one called Shido gone? Origami didn't respond but raised her rifle and fired straight at the boy, it seemed the AST didn't care if he was the first male spirit or not. Realising the danger, the boy raised his hand and the bullets pinged off an invisible shield.
"Oh. You want to hurt me? Fine! Try it!" He said and raised his hand to the sky; a huge thunder cloud appeared above him.
"Come forth, Zues Hametsu!" He exclaimed. A huge lightning bolt then came down from the cloud; the light it emitted was so bright that Shido, Origami and the rest of the AST had to close their eyes. When they opened them they saw that the boy now held a katana in a sheath, strange purple runes also floated around his left wrist. The boy calmly attached the sheath to his belt; it hung on his left side.

"A gun? How pitiful, are you too scared to face me in close range combat?" He said to Origami. Her face had a look of rage, one of the other girls started advancing towards the boy but Origami ordered her to stop.
"Origami?" She asked, confused.
"I'll get him." Origami said, "I'll wipe that cool demeanour off his face."
"I can't say I approve but all right." The other girl said shrugging, she backed off. Origami touched down about forty feet from the spirit, threw her rifle on the floor and pulled her energy sword from the ground where it was embedded.
"Do you think he'll be all right?" Shido whispered from inside the building.
"He's a spirit, she's a human. I know who I'm betting on. Don't worry so much." Kotori said from on board the Fraxinus. They were busying monitoring the standoff.
"If it gets too dangerous we'll pull you out." She continued. Shido gulped and continued observing.

"Oh so you do have some courage. Fool." The boy said, all of the bubbly personality stripped away. Replaced with a reassured look and steely edge in his voice. Origami did not reply but charged at him with her sword raised. The boy made no move to get out of the way of her charge.
"Die spirit!" She screamed and raised her sword, intending to bring it down on his head. Just milliseconds before the blade stuck did the boy move. He smiled and sidestepped so quickly it seemed he had vanished and reappeared a few feet away.
"Slow." He jeered. Origami's face filled with rage, her blood filled with hatred for this boy. She altered her course and charged again. And again. And again. Each time the boy vanished and reappeared a few metres away. She was beginning to get frustrated.
"Stop doing that! Stay still so I can kill you!" She screamed. The boy shook his head and pulled his katana from its sheath, it had an elegant blade that glowed faint purple.
"You will not run?" He asked.
"Never. I won't stop until my world is free from you devils!" She answered back.
"I was afraid you'd say that. Prepare to die then!" He said. She answered by raising her sword.
"Try me." She jeered. He got into a one handed stance and charged. He ran so fast that Origami didn't see him raise his katana. She didn't see him approach and she didn't see him slash her energy sword's hilt in two. The blade disappeared and she fell to the ground, defeated. Her squad saw her fall and immediately flew towards the boy with rifles and swords raised. The boy shook his head and raised his left wrist. The runes floating around it starting glowing and he started chanting strange words under his breath. The AST began getting closer, the leaders were only around 20 metres away. The boy finished chanting and screamed some words. There was a bright flash and after it Shido saw that all of the AST squad were unconscious. Shido turned his head and saw that Origami was also unconscious. He was confused, why had this spirit only rendered them unconscious, other rogue spirits would kill without a second thought. He emerged from the building. The boy noticed him.
"Oh. There you are Shido. Do you know who those people are?" He said running towards Shido. It seemed that the bubbly personality was back, although Shido was aware how powerful this carefree boy was in battle. Suddenly the boy pushed Shido to the side, moments later a bullet pinged off the spirits impenetrable force field. Shido turned around and saw that Origami had awoken and held a pistol, she had a fiery look in her eye.
"You just don't know when to give up do you? " The boy said. She answered by raising her pistol and firing a shot at his face. He dodged it; the bullet missed the side of his head by millimetres. Origami's eyes widened with disbelief. Even a normal spirit couldn't dodge a bullet at point blank range. Shido was similarly shocked.

"I was going to let you live, but you've become a thorn. Every thorn is a bother, and every bother must be destroyed." He said, he snatched the pistol out of Origami's hand and pressed it against her head. He was just about to pull the trigger when Shido shouted,
"STOP!" The boy pulled the gun away for a moment.
"Why should I?" The boy snarled. Shido gasped; upon closer observation it seemed that the boy's eyes had changed colour from blue to red.
"What could this mean?" He thought.
"Because killing is wrong, do you want to become a murderer? Do you want to be haunted for the rest of your life? Do you?" Shido said, he couldn't let this new spirit murder Origami.
"I…I…No. I don't want to be a killer." The boy said, he suddenly bent over as if in pain.
"N-no get out of me! You aren't me!" He muttered, suddenly a dark aura enveloped him and hid him from sight. Shido heard cries of pain from inside. After recovering from the shock, Shido shouted and ran towards the darkness trying to get to the boy. He crashed against an invisible wall. The cries of pain increased in volume until they were yells. Suddenly the dark aura disappeared and Shido saw the boy again. He was sprawled on the floor panting. Then Shido saw that another one was pointing his blade at the one on the floor.
"What are you doing? Why is there two of you." Shido asked, the one standing up turned towards him.
"So you're Shido, the one this pathetic excuse just met. I am Hiroto." He said. Shido gasped, he had red eyes like before.
"Just what are you? I've never seen two personalities in one spirit." Shido said. Hiroto slowly clapped.
"Very good. At least you have some sort of brain. I am a mirror copy."
"A mirror copy?" Shido repeated, "What's a mirror copy."
"A mirror copy is a copy of the original body, but with completely the opposite traits. For example he (Hiroto gestured at the boy on the floor) is carefree, I am serious. He is shy, I am not. He is merciful, I am not. He is the light, I am the dark. Now I'm done explaining I'll go ahead with the plan and kill you." Hiroto raised his katana and advanced towards Shido. Before Shido could react Hiroto was directly in front of him and was about to stab him. Shido closed his eyes expecting excruciating pain, but he never felt it. He opened his eyes he saw that the blade was being parried by both Origami and the other Hiroto. This Hiroto had blue eyes.
"Ugh. Why do you bother Hirito?" The attacking Hiroto said.
"Hirito. So that's his name." Shido thought while staring at the Spirit guarding him. Origami and Hirito's combined strength was too much for Hiroto and they gradually pushed him back. Seeing that it would be a difficult fight to win, Hiroto jumped back and said,
"Fine, you win today. But know this. The Master's plan is going perfectly. Soon you all will perish." After saying that he vanished.

Shido sat down exhausted; it had been an eventful hour. Then he saw Origami looking at a holograph screen with a frown on her face.
"What's wrong Origami?" He asked. Origami was caught off guard and stuttered when answering.
"U-um well it's just, that that one (She gestured at Hirito who was snoozing a little way away), is not emitting any spirit waves anymore."
"What?" Shido said, it couldn't have been possible, he hadn't sealed Hirito yet.
"By AST law I'm not allowed to attack him anymore. But I can't help but worry." Shido knew what she was thinking about, he was thinking the same thing. Who exactly was Hirito? Who and what was Hiroto.

And on that cliff-hanger I'm going to end it! Phew, big one this time. Took me all week to plan and write it! I'm on holiday starting from Tuesday so hopefully I can get chapter 3 going soon! Thanks for reading.
In case you didn't know the name of Hirito/Hiroto's angel is Japanese. I think it means Zeus' Bane.
