Seeds of Agito

Start rejoicing, readers! Umi Ryuuzaki's back…so expect Class M to be reunited…

But first…Miyuki, from "Miyuki-chan From Wonderland". A few chapters ago she has demonstrated her "Agito" powers, but then another side of hers is going to put you all in suspense…


The next day, Megumi sent text messages to both Class Q and M about Umi recovering from her coma and the two DDS sections were taken by surprise and immediately Kyuu, Ryu and Hikaru went to Tokyo General Hospital to see for themselves and to their surprises, the doctors told them that Umi is now at the private room after being sent to the recovery room and told them to come back for another three days to show them the X-ray results he took, and on the 4th day he showed to them the results which her body, including her spinal column, are fully healed. While Kyuu and Hikaru are "dancing" in relief, the blue-haired Class Q member is mystified at how she recovered all of the sudden and how her spine was repaired when told several weeks ago that it can't be healed and fused back in one piece.

142: Shoji

After another few minutes of discussion, the doctor decided to show the three DDS students Umi's private room and there the four walked along the corridors and upon reaching her room, it is shown that Umi is asleep, on her left side and had a peaceful look on her face and is sleeping soundly, which the Class M leader is glad to see her friend in her usual self and Kyuu had the same reaction while Ryu asked the doctor how her spine and other injuries were healed so quickly.

"Doctor…how did her spine healed? And is there a chance she would walk again?"

"Er…to be honest…that remained to be seen…once she wakes up…then I'll ask her…but about her spine…I don't really know…after we were told of her recovery, we conducted a series of X-ray tests, my colleagues and I were surprised to see the results though we couldn't tell at this point if she can move her legs though she is able to move to her side as you see just now…"

"I see…but the rest of her injuries…"

"All of the fractured bones in her body are fully healed…just like her spine…but I haven't a clue as to how it got healed in one go…"

"Whatever! Umi's okay…and I'm sure she'll walk again in no time!"

"Kyuu! Stop interrupting…!"

"Be a little happy! Umi's awake and moving! That's what's important!"

"Not so loud, Kyuu…!"

"Um…perhaps it'd be in her best interest that we won't entertain visitors for now…apart from her parents…and we are to conduct more tests for Ms. Ryuuzaki…"

"Yes…I understand…"

"Good going, Kyuu…"

"E-he-he-he…oops…"

By then the doctor said that Umi needed to rest and entertaining visitors would not be the best time for now which the three teens accepted and they all left.

"Um…perhaps it'd be in her best interest that we won't entertain visitors for now…apart from her parents…and we are to conduct more tests for Ms. Ryuuzaki…"

"Yes…I understand…"

"Good going, Kyuu…"

"E-he-he-he…oops…"

As the two Class Q members left, Hikaru boarded her Ducati Desmosedici RR and head for Fuu's house as she intended to tell her of the good news. Arriving, the two Class M members talked and there they discusses about what to do once Umi is discharged from the hospital and are thinking of celebrating with Class Q.

"I say we held a party so she'll be refreshed!"

"Sure…but where do we held…"

"At my house! And let's invite Class Q along with Class A! it'll brighten up and raise her spirit!"

"Okay…"

"And after that…let's ask Dan-sensei to assign us a case to solve! Umi needs to spend "quality time" with us after being on a comatose…"

"That sounds good to me…"

After another several minutes of discussion, Hikaru leaves and heads out home so as to prepare for the next few days.

The next day, after attending school, Hikaru was hanging out at her dojo when Masaru came and called his only sister and informs her of a caller which caught her attention and arouses her curiosity upon hearing the caller's name and she dashes out towards the house to reach the telephone.

"Hikaru…a phone call for you…someone named Miyuki…"

"Okay…I'll answer it…"

But her elder brothers, Satoru and Kakeru butted jokes with her and this briefly causes a "war" inside the dojo.

"Satoru…did you hear that? Another girl!"

"That's right, Kakeru…not a single boy called her…AH! Hikaru's a lesbian! She should've been born a boy! Too bad she lacks a "pee-pee"…"

"RRRRAAAAGGGHHH!"

BLAG!

KA-SPLAG!

WHA-KA-PLAG!

Furniture were hurled at the two elder male siblings, and Masaru had to use his status as the "eldest" of the brood and calmed an enraged Hikaru down while berating his two younger brothers, who were bruised and battered, along with several "lumps", and there she calmed down and answered the phone. As she got the phone, the redhead beauty talked with Miyuki, where a serious conversation took place and both agreed to have a discussion held at Miyuki's apartment and agreed to bring the other Akatsuki Ferry survivors with her and there they can talk about the events that took place four years ago when Hikaru was thrown overboard that led to her amnesia and her being stranded at an island during the last four years. After the phone conversation, Hikaru called Ringo and informed her about this and agrees to have Kobato informed as well and sets a meeting on where to meet.

"You want us to meet up at your flat?"

"Yes…if possible…"

"Want me to bring the other survivors along?"

"Yes! That would be a big help!"

"Then meet us this Saturday!"

-x-

By Saturday, Ringo and Kobato arrived at the school gate of DDS just as Hikaru came out after turning in a few documents, and coincidentally, Kazuma and Megumi happened to leave DDS and the five of them agreed to go together and head for Miyuki's apartment, but not before the Class Q beauty decided to break her silence and told them about meeting a stranger who managed to coax her into heading for Umi's ICU at the Tokyo General Hospital and the events that led to Umi's recovery, which surprises them and Kazuma mentally wondered if she too possesses an "Agito" power.

"No way…could she…? Nah…impossible…but then again…never mind…!"

After this, Kazuma invited the three girls to ride inside his limousine while Hikaru boarded her motorcycle as they all cruised towards Miyuki's apartment so that they can meet up with her and get the full scope of what really happened four years ago and why the Lords are attacking the Akatsuki Ferry survivors.

-x-

About 10 minutes later, Kinta paid Kyuu and Ryu a visit at the Renjou house and there the three boys began discussing about Kelberos making his presence at DDS and Umi's surprise recovery when Kyuu gets a text message from Kazuma which upsets him greatly and after reading the text message which says that he is with the four girls right now and are heading for East Tokyo to meet with Miyuki, Kinta and Ryu tries to console him.

"Whoa…looks like Hikaru is making her move to solve the mystery of the Akatsuki Ferry incident…"

"No fair…why didn't they bring me along?"

"So what if they didn't bring you along?"

"I'm an Akatsuki Ferry survivor too… "

"It was of short notice for them…and it's just them girls…"

"But Kazuma's a boy…he gets to hog the pretty girls…"

While Ryu points out that their decision was sudden and that it involved the girls, the Class Q leader rebutted that Kazuma is a boy and gets to "hog the pretty ladies", which the two Class Q members sweat-dropped, seeing the jealousy in Kyuu. Nevertheless they decided to continue their discussion about Pluto. By then, Kinta saw a news article about the commemorating the 50th anniversary of spaceflight, which began with Yuri Gagarin's flight in 1961. Kyuu's mood brightens up since he has interest in astronauts and spaceflight.

"Wow…check it out…it's the 50th anniversary of the first spaceflight of man…"

"Whoa…you're right…I've been very fascinated about going to the moon and outer space…I wanted to see if aliens really existed…imagine…E. T. coming…and what if the Predators come here on Earth? What do you think, Kinta?"

"What are you? Haruhi Suzumiya? She's one oddball high school girls who always believe in aliens and UFO that has yet to be proven that they existed?"

"Well…it did came true…remembered that we watched ALF?"

"That was a US TV show, you moron!"

"Hey, Ryu…you've been from the US…tell us about NASA…"

With Ryu's knowledge of NASA, it was an interesting topic, except that Kyuu doesn't know much about NASA and asked his roommate about it.

"Okay…listen well because this will be a bit long…NASA stands for National Aeronautics and Space Administration and is an executive branch agency of the United States government, responsible for the nation's civilian space program and aeronautics and aerospace research. Since February 2006, NASA's self-described mission statement is to "pioneer the future in space exploration, scientific discovery and aeronautics research." NASA was established by the National Aeronautics and Space Act on July 29, 1958, replacing its predecessor, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA). The agency became operational on October 1, 1958. U.S. space exploration efforts have since been led by NASA, including the Apollo moon-landing missions, theSkylab space station, and later the Space Shuttle. Currently, NASA is supporting the International Space Station and is developing the manned Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle. The agency is also responsible for the Launch Services Program (LSP) which provides oversight of launch operations and countdown management for unmanned NASA launches. NASA science is focused on better understanding Earth through the Earth Observing System, advancing heliophysics through the efforts of the Science Mission Directorate's Heliophysics Research Program, exploring bodies throughout the Solar System with advanced robotic missions such as New Horizons, and researching astrophysics topics, such as the Big Bang, through the Great Observatories and associated programs. NASA shares data with various national and international organizations such as from the Greenhouse Gases Observing Satellite."

The two Class Q members listened on as the blue-haired teen gives out more interesting info about how NASA came to light and how it revolutionizes spaceflight which gives birth to the college courses where a student earns a degree to become an astronaut.

-x-

Somewhere within outer space, a spaceship that resembles the Japanese counterpart of NASA is hovering between Earth and Mars, and inside the ship shows what appeared to be a teenage astronaut who nearly resembles Kyuu, but he is aged 18 and his hairstyle is different, which it is quite curly and points downward towards his forehead, giving him an image of a delinquent, and his name is Gentaro Kyusaragi. It is shown that his ship had just appeared from what appeared to be a dimensional warp hole and is sent here by none other than Yuko Ichihara.

"Okay, lady…I followed your instruction and I'm here at the same Solar System…I had to ditch school because you said I have a mission here…but you promise to provide cover for me…"

"Yes…that is taken cared of…and right now you need to follow another set of instruction…but since I accidentally sent you in outer space…be prepared…you might need to use your gadgets since they can protect you from the effects of the galaxy…if that's how it works…"

"Fine, fine…"

-x-

Back at East Tokyo, Hikaru, Kazuma, Megumi, Ringo, and Kobato have arrived at Miyuki's apartment and after knocking on her door, Miyuki personally greeted them and allowed them inside her home which the five teens entered, and are elated to finally meet her properly and are just moments away from learning about what really happened at the Akatsuki Ferry four years ago.

"Hello, Miyuki…good to see you again…oh, these are my friends from DDS…"

"Hi! Thank you for coming! I remember you…the redhead from four years ago…"

"Eh-he-he-he…"

"And these are Ringo and Robato…they're J-Pop singers and also survivors of the Akatsuki Ferry four years ago…"

"Nice to meet you…"

"Nice to meet you…"

"Yes, yes…please come in and feel at home…"

"And this is my classmate, Kazuma. He's here along for the ride…"

"Hi…"

"Hello…oh, have a seat…I'll get you some snacks and drinks…"

Several minutes later, after serving them teas and snacks, the discussion is about to take place when Megumi asked Miyuki about the stalker who harassed her several days ago, which she is told that he left when she threatened to call the police, and that was the end of the discussion on Naoto Kirihara. Hikaru then asks Miyuki about what happened during the incident four years ago and how and why the Lords came there and started to attack people which, four years later they are killing off the survivors.

"Oh, Miyuki-chan…what happened to the stalker who harassed me…?"
"Taken cared of…"

"Okay…"

"Now then…Miyuki…I need to ask you this…what happened during four years ago during the incident of the Akatsuki Ferry? I was thrown overboard and lost my memories during an attack by those Unknown…"

But before an answer is about to be given, Miyuki asked Hikaru to water the plants outside which she politely agreed, and the host went to the dining room all of the sudden, prompting Kazuma to follow her as he had a feeling that something is not right as she acted out of character and seemingly avoided the subject of answering their queries, but when he got to the dining room he saw her kneeling and convulsing, which causes him to rush to her side.

"Miyuki…what's wrong?"

"Get out of here!"

"What?"

"Go! An Unknown is possessing me! You're all in danger! Take your friends and get away as fast as you can! I can't hold him much longer! Hurry!"

Miyuki tells Kazuma to get Hikaru and the others out of here saying that a Lord is possessing her and that they are in danger of being murdered and this spooked the youngest Class Q member so he ran and head for the others even though he is confused by what he is told, yet he heeded her words and rushes out from the dining room.

After doing so he went back to the living room and there he finds Ringo, Kobato and Megumi chatting together, which they all glanced at Kazuma, becoming worried seeing his bewildered state and asked him if there is something wrong and where Miyuki is, and Kazuma finally told them about what he is told though Ringo dismisses it at first, Megumi started to take him seriously as her Class Q classmate became more frantic.

"Hey, Kazuma…what's wrong?"

"Yeah…you looked like you saw a ghost…"

"It's Miyuki…"

"What about her?"

"She said she's been possessed by an Unknown…"

"Come on…"

"You're making this out…"

"I'M NOT! AND I MEAN IT! WHERE'S HIKARU? WE GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE!"

"Kazuma…calm down…"

"How can I calm down, Megu?"

By then, Ringo and Kobato began to sense a "presence" and gently pushed the two Class Q members back as someone emerged from the dining room, seeing Miyuki walking but her facial expression showed a sinister feature and is eyeing at the four persons in front of her in which she spoke with a different voice which obviously didn't belonged to her.

"YOU…YOU ALL MUST DIE! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO POSSESS THOSE SEEDS…FOR THEY BELONGED TO THE OVERLORD OF DARKNESS…I MUST TAKE THOSE SEEDS BEFORE YOUR POWERS FURTHER AWAKENED AND EVOLVED…FOR THIS MY MASTER ORDERED ME TOO…YOU WILL DIE FOR THE OVERLORD OF DARKNESS…SO MY MASTER WILL RULE THIS WORLD…!"

Everyone stared wide-eyed as they realized that Kazuma is right, that Miyuki is possessed by a Lord and are now in danger of being killed off.

To Be Continued…


While Umi is currently recovering from her injuries, Kazuma and the four girls finally get to meet with Miyuki, only to find out that she is possessed by a Lord and are in danger of getting killed off…unless Agito bursts into the scene and saves the day…

Once more another version of Kyuu shows up…and it's all thanks to Yuko Ichihara…as she brought another in this "world" to help out the present-day Kyuu, though what he can do remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure…he appeared to have a something that involves spaceflight motif and he seemed to come from another alternate reality world that involves aeronautics. More on that scenario, probably I believe, will be shown in the next chapter.
