"Aright the shuttle is here boys let's go!" Aikawa says as Usagi's things are being loaded. Misaki grabs his bag and get into the shuttle behind Usagi.
"Eri sit up front please." Usagi says and she nods and climbs up front and a grinning Usagi pushes a button.
"Just don't make a mess back there." She says as a wall spirals out from the inside of the shuttle and separates the front of the shuttle from the back.
The shuttle slowly begins moving. Misaki looks over to Usagi who has this grin. Shit he was screwed, and now his face began to turn pink. Usagi reaches over and runs his fingers across Misaki's blushing face."
You have no idea how adorable that is." He says causing Misaki to blush more and glance away.
The shuttle suddenly jerks forward and begins going really fast. Even on the inside you can tell just how fast it's going. Usagi pulls Misaki close. The spiral wall opens a little bit and Aikawa looks through the opening.
"I wasn't joking please don't make a mess, we will be going much faster than this to get across the county by the end of the day." She says and the wall spirals shut again.
Misaki hides his face in Usagi's chest as the shuttle continues to go faster and faster. Usagi rubs Misaki's back.
"This is going too fast, they could have made it so that you couldn't feel how fast it's going." Misaki says his voice muffled. Later that evening Misaki is sound asleep snuggled into Usagi as the shuttle slows to a stop. The spiral wall unravels and Aikawa looks at the boys.
"I'm assuming you can carry him." She says quietly and Usagi nods.
"Let's go then, do you remember where your old room is?" She asks and he nods and carries Misaki in that direction.
~The next morning~
Misaki wakes up in a strange room alone. There are no windows and there is just a bed and a dresser. It's a good sized room. Misaki stands up and leaves the room and finds that he is in what looks like a cross between a science center and a wall just outside the bedroom there is a bulletin board with pictures of Usagi on it. Fascinated Misaki steps closer and looks at it. In each picture Usagi is trading in the same place though it's very clear that he has gotten taller in each one. The first picture Usagi is so small and has a baby face, the next picture he is slightly taller and the baby face has changed a bit. Misaki smiles, Usagi was so cute when he was younger.
"Will you quit it already woman I'm tired of your tests." Usagi says annoyed. "You should go bug Misaki with your questions for a while."
Misaki doesn't hear this conversation as he is still looking at it several pictures of Usagi with his height and stuff under each picture.
"Tch fine you can go but you won't see Misaki until tonight." She says and walks out of a room down the hall.
The woman looks surprised to see Misaki looking at the bulletin board."
He was so adorable wasn't he?" She says walking closer and Misaki nods.
"So Misaki would you follow me, I've got some tests I want to put you through and I want to give you a basic checkup and that way you won't have to deal with Usagi today. He's kind of grouchy." She says with a smile and Misaki nods and follows her outside and across a large yard.
Misaki glances back. That was just the living space?! He wonders as they head to a massive dome shaped building. They enter the dome and head down a maze of halls and finally enter a room set up like a café.
"Get something to eat you can't really start the day without eating." She says and sits down. Misaki nods and grabs a blueberry muffin.
"So Misaki, how are you feeling?" She asks her blue eyes sparking. Misaki shrugs.
"I feel ok." He says.
"So I was reading the paper on the board, it said Usagi was absolutely terrified of going to school here, do you know why he was so scared? I mean I know he studied under the elders of Ekurana for 7 years, but that's all he said." Misaki says and Aikawa frowns.
"Yes I know why he was so scared. He made me promise not to put him through any kind of schooling here on earth." She says and gets a distant sad look in her blue eyes.
"When he was three he was handed over to the elders, because of his mother's death everyone despised him even the elders. They made him study constantly and they weren't nice to him. He studied every subject you can think of and more, from the time he was three. He was only to talk when spoken to, if he stepped out of line he was punished. He never said what the punishments were but they scared him. However the elders did good by one thing, they taught him who he never wanted to be like." She says. Misaki frowns.
"He never let on how bad he was treated. When I first met him he was so distant, until the morning he put his fist through the wall." Misaki says and Aikawa's eyes widen.
"What happened to make him punch through the wall?!" She asks remembering the hole in the wall and the several dents surrounding it.
"That morning I heard banging and went to see if he was ok and I found him punching it in his sleep, later that day I had taken him to see the view from up on a cliff. Cause you know it was a beautiful view, anyway the cliff under me broke off and he jumped and got knocked out. He saved me and when I asked why he said he dreamed about it that morning and that if he hadn't jumped I would have died. I think that's why he was punching the wall in his sleep." Misaki says. Aikawa nods.
"That explains it, he's was never allowed to show emotion before he came here, and so when he came here he refused to let it show either. When he came back here about a year ago, he mentioned a cliff but not that he had been knocked out." She says and then stands up.
"Come on let's get you to the testing room." She says her normal smile returning to her face.
so that's chapter 14 complete. Poor Usagi had lived under such mean elders. What did this have to do with his mothers death? Will Usagi revil this as he does know who his mother and father are? Please enjoy your day
