Chapter 2
By: Larcie
"Seris…"
-No it… it can't be…
Cold sweat flows down to his face as Raven gasped in disbelieve. The moment he saw the beautiful girl he felt a sharp pain thrust inside his chest.
-No she can't be… snap out of it!
Raven vigorously shook his head.
-Right now I need to help her!
Once he returns back to his senses he quickly moves closer to the group but before he could jump in to interfere a huge silhouette flew pass his side.
"What?"
Confused, Raven turns around, it was not an object but instead it was one of the delinquents that instantly crashed hard on the ground.
It happen so fast that everyone was stunned on what just happen.
"YOU BITCH!"
Seeing his friend flew away from the girl's unseen attack, the man charge in stretching his arm trying to grab the young girl to push her down but before he could manage to touch her, a fast high kick had quickly landed on his face making a cracking sound on his jaw.
"Argghh!"
The man screamed from the hit while his body twirled in the midair and crashes down.
"What!?, hey she's just a girl?"
One of them was surprise and at the same time horrified because in an instant two men were already down.
"Excuse me…I really have no time for this…so if you please leave me be"
The young girl said while maintaining her strong will that shown into her deep green eyes.
She was strong and composedly calm.
"You! Don't underestimate us just because you're a girl doesn't mean we're not going to be serious!"
"Right!"
"Haahhh!"
The other three yelled as they surround the girl cornering her like a cage and at the same time they charge in towards the center where the girl was standing
"How troublesome…"
The girl could only sighed, as the three men runs towards her but before they could come closer, the girl kicks off the ground.
"Hiyyahhh!"
While in the midair she moves her delicate body and twisting her body like she was gracefully dancing and in a flash a series of kicks had been unleashed.
Afterward, she landed perfectly at the ground and a few moments the three men collapsed with a thud sound.
"Guess this is over…Yosh! I won te~hehe~"
The girl softly giggled has she acquired victory by herself but while she was in a joyful moment
"This damn bitch…"
The man who was kick earlier stood up and sneaked behind the girl without her notice.
"You're mine now!"
"!"
-Crap I let my guard dawn
The man was already close and it was already too late to counter back but then suddenly a shadow from the side of her sight rashes right in front of her like a shield protecting her from the assault. Then in an instance, the man threw once again to a distance with a strong punch.
"Eh?"
Looking at the his broad back the girl gasped as she was surprise from the young man's strength, she realize he was not one of them as he did saved her.
"Are you alright?"
Raven turns around confirming the young girl safety.
"Y-yes"
The girl mumbled
Odd, her soft cheeks were starting to redden from the moment she saw his face. She fretfully turns around trying to hide her blushful face away from him.
-Wh-what's happening to me?
She was confused from the fast sudden beating of her heart and from the first time, she was scared of the strange unknown feeling she was now experiencing.
Meanwhile Raven kept staring at her narrowing his sharp amber eyes while observing the young girl.
-They really look alike but…this girl sure can fight.
Earlier he meant to rescue her from the start but after he saw the first man to be blown away from a fast kick he was stunned speechless that he could only watch how she single-handedly fought them. He could not help it not to be amazed from her bravery but at the same time Raven clenched his fist, he felt sad while seeing her beautiful face that greatly reminded him of someone.
"Excuse me are you ok?"
The girl sincerely asked, at the moment when she noticed his sad face which she doesn't understand.
"…Yes I am fine I just remembered someone"
"I see Oh! thanks for saving me" The girl smiled
"…"
Raven didn't reply nor looked back at her and soon his face begun to strict showing no emotion or simply hiding it.
"You should not walk around to this alley it's very dangerous to be alone by yourself"
"Sorry…I just needed to visit something"
"Then I'll take my leave"
"Ummm…."
"Hmn?"
"N-nothing thanks again"
"…"
And so Raven left immediately
The girl wanted to know his name but seeing how he troubled he is, she could not asked for it but hopefully they will meet again and when that time comes she will definitely ask him.
Strangely, she was looking forward to it also somehow she felt very familiar about the young man as if she already knows him.
She smiled, as she too soon left the place.
After a few walks she finally reach the place she was looking for. It was under a train railway. As she looks around, she quickly noticed the flowers that were freshly placed on the ground.
"…"
The girl gentle pick the bouquet of daisies up, considering how beautiful it was prepared she knew that the person who left it has a very special connection to this very place. She closed her eyes and held the flower tightly next to her heart as she softly whisper.
"Onee-chan…"
Tears begun to flow down to her lovely cheeks.

Earlier…during Lunch break
"Like I said Eve please join the basketball team as the team manager"
After taking their meal, Aisha clapped both her hands while convincing Eve who was quietly reading her book.
"…No"
"Pretty please~" Aisha pleaded with a puppy eyes gaze.
Eve gently closed her books and placed it onto her lap as she glanced her eyes to the purpled hair girl.
"Why do you need me? You can handle it by yourself"
"You're right cause I'm a genius that even without assistant I can manage everything hahaha…I just wanted you to be our mascot that's all" Aisha proudly declared.
Eve glared at her with a deadpan gaze.
"I refuse"
"Guah…got rejected again,"
Aisha sighed, she knew Eve was stubborn like rock it was actually not the first time but Aisha didn't give up asking her anyway.
"Can you join for the sake of our friendship~"
"…No"
"It will be fun!"
"…No"
"Can you say something other than No?"
"…No mean no"
Defeated, Aisha sulked, she planned to invite Eve to the team once the popular Queen will join, surely more members will come and join them since they lack manpower after the seniors had graduated last year.
"Eve you're so stubborn like Elsword if only I could force you but I can't"
"Hmn?"
"During our middle school I was assign to take care of the basketball team, I invited Elsword at first but he strongly refuses to join then eventually after a few forceful charisma of mine I did manage to change his mind and surprisingly he enjoyed the sport very much thanks to me" She grinned.
"…"
"So why not—"
"…No"
"I'm not even done saying it!" Aisha pouted.
"Aisha you know why I can't…"
"Come on it's not like you're playing no one will find out your secret I guarantee it~" Aisha smiled while clapping her both hands again as she plead.
"No"
Eve eventually got up and was about to leave.
"Eh? Eve are you mad?"
Eve turns back and gentle she shook her head.
"Class…"
"Right almost forgot"
Thus, Aisha too got up and walks beside Eve who patiently waits for her.
"Too bad where not classmates anymore but atleast we can still see each other" Aisha smiled while both girls walked together towards the entrance.
"…"
"By the way how is Elsword since you both ended up together in the same class"
"…"
Eve didn't reply but somehow she felt something weird whenever Aisha was mentioning his name. Since they became friend Aisha was always lively sharing every thoughts inside her mind, she was so honest and a kind friend that Eve quickly became attach to her despite knowing her secret but most of their talk were all about a certain red headed boy name Elsword.
Aisha always complains everything about him being so care-free and lazy during studying, about how hot headed he was whenever he get involved with a fight and especially when he gets so popular from his fangirls. It was all troublesome that almost everyday Aisha will talk about him.
However, even after all the negative things she commented about him, Aisha will sometime talk of him as a good gentle friend and praised him towards his hardwork that Aisha will display a lovely cheerful face.
And because of it Eve begun to have a slight interest on him, during class she started to secretly observed Elsword like his sleeping drooling face and how the teacher wake him up with a thick book.
She learned how very energetic he was that he gets along pretty well with almost everyone in the class. However, the most interesting about him was his warm gentle smile.
Whenever they meet eyes, Elsword will always smiles at her and every morning he always greeted her yet she could not comply back because for the first she was having troubled to, she didn't know why but sometime she felt a slight tingling inside her chest which she didn't understand.
"Well see you later Eve"
Upon arriving, Aisha waved her hands as she returns back to her class leaving Eve in the hallway.
"…"
Eve eventually walks to her class.
As she arrived to her seat, she glanced toward to her side where the red hair boy sat. The seat was still empty and the class was about to start but there were no sign of his presence yet.
Eve looked to the front where a blonde boy was attentively listening to the teacher, she recalled he was one of Elsword closest friend that they usually return together after lunch break but it seems the red boy will not be attending the class.
Actually she didn't care at all, Eve simply gave her attention to the teacher like a normal student would but sometimes she will unintentionally peek to the empty seat next to her. She doesn't understands why but she was feeling uneasy.
"I don't understand…" she softly mumbled
…
…
…
It was after class…
In huge gymnasium were a group of male of student were dribbling and shooting for their practice and some of the group where two boys where conversing each other.
"I still can't believe it how did Aisha became friends with Eve I mean this is the first time I heard of this"
Elsword said while dribbling the ball on his hand as he quickly passed it towards the blonde youth next to him.
"Well it is quite shocking but they look pretty close to each other when I saw them and what's the problem anyway right?"
"It's not like I'm against it is just that how did Eve manage to tame her"
"Eh? What do you mean?"
Curious, Chung stop bouncing the ball as he narrowed his eyes.
"I've known Aisha since grade school and believe me it was hell, she always gets what she wants from me by force."
"Oh come on She's not that bad" Chung wryly smiled while Elsword continues.
"You have no idea how many wrestling stunts I suffered because of her and the last time that I almost lost my life was during my middle school where she tied my feet and hangs me upside down on the rooftop until I finally surrender"
Elsword eventually became gloom, he remembered his painful event but even after all those suffering he experienced during his childhood life Aisha was still an irreplaceable friend.
In the past, Aisha was always there besides him cheering him up, giving encouragement that he was very grateful of her in times of need if only she could reduced her intensive violent hobby towards him.
"…Besides she's so loud and obnoxious and hard to deal with" Elsword continues but deep in his heart he didn't mean it he wasn't very honest to tell his true feelings on how lucky he was to have a reliable friend like her, he was just too shy to admit it.
"Ummm…Elsword you should stop"
Chung on the other was somehow started to feel irritated from all the things Elsword just said.
"Huh? Hey what's got into you?" Elsword asked noticing his friend frustrated look.
Chung pause a moment before answering, frankly he wanted to protest but he didn't want to get angry on such reason.
"Nothing…"
He sighed looking away avoiding Elsword for a while but then.
"!?" Chung gasped.
"What?"
In the midst of there conversation, Elsword notice that Chung was having cold sweat in terror.
"Hey are you ok did you get tired from just dribbling?"
"No-no…It's"
Then suddenly Elsword felt a terrible murderous aura coming from his back that made his hair stands. It was very sharp and threatening but most of all he was very familiar of it to the point he wanted to run away but he couldn't.
"She's…behind me?" Elsword gulped while he too was staring tremble.
Chung didn't say a word but from his look and a nod he was indeed correct.
Elsword slowly creak his neck turning his head like a door and as he did he saw a pretty purpled girl smiling sinisterly.
"Elsword If I recall you owe me something right?" Aisha curve a smile like an angel in disguised.
He owned her from saving him earlier in the incident between his fans.
"Hai…" He mumbled
"Then on your knees…Now" Aisha said with a sharp threatening tone that she clearly emphasize her command.
"Hai!"
…
…
77…
78…
"I see so you guys found out about us"
Aisha said while crossing both her arms and legs as she sat to the most comfortable chair(someone) that is moving up and down.
That someone was none other than the MVP of the basketball team known as Elsword who was now doing push ups while Aisha sat on his back, she was not that heavy due to her petit body but the problem was.
"El your slowing down do you want me to add up another set of a 100 more"
"80-81-82"
Next to them was Chung who could only watch his pitiful friend being punished.
"Y-yeah you didn't mention it to us?" Chung asked.
"Hmn… is not like I'm hiding it or anything I just can't find a good chance to tell you guys…"
Aisha mumble, bluntly speaking she wanted to inform them her friendship with Eve once she decided to join.
"I-is not like we're that close or anything ok…"
She pouted her cheeks, as she was being too shy to admit having a close friend like Eve.
It was because of her attitude, Aisha has few friends to none due to being a strict and scary loud personality, girls in her class were scarily avoiding her but Eve was different she was calm and unafraid of her, actually she was her first girl-friend and she cherish her with care.
As we go back to their conversation. Chung asked another question.
"Right but since when?"
"When?...hmnn..Last year we were in the same class together and I was the Class Rep so the teacher wanted me to look after her since she just transfer to the school for the first time" Aisha explained
"According to Eve since childhood she didn't went to school until last year she's been studying under a private tutor back home."
"Oh…She's rich?"
"Maybe…but that's not the point why did you suddenly got interest on her…do you like her?"
"No! It's not what you think" Chung briskly waved his hands in denial.
"hmn?...Anyway I was planning to invite Eve to be our manager but sh—"
"What!?"
"Kyaa!"
Suddenly Aisha was interrupted as she falls down to the floor.
"Baka! Why did you suddenly stood up!" She growled towards the one responsible Elsword who quickly offered his hand to help Aisha go back to her feet.
"Opss sorry!...anyway what did you say again?"
"About what?"
"About Eve becoming our new manager…I thought you were fine without one"
"Idiot! since we lack members right now I was planning to make her our mascot to lure some members."
"Wait are using her as bait"
"I AM NOT!"
"Ouch!"
Aisha quickly got mad and immediately hit Elsword's head.
"You may think I'm using her but that's not it… since I thought we can't see each other that much, I thought of inviting her so that she won't feel lonely, hehe~ am I nice" Aisha smiled proudly but in truth she was the one who felt much more loneliness after they've been separated to different classes.
"W-well anyway how did it go?" Elsword asked while brushing the pain on his head.
"She refused…honestly she's so stubborn"
"Did you give her the hard way?"
"What hard way?"
"Never mind as long you didn't do it"
"Hmnp! Anyway its for the sake of our friendship and for the team so two birds in one stone that's why I won't give up that easily"
"I see… T-then can I try"
Elsword hesitantly said.
"Try what?"
"To pursued her to join us"
"…"
"…"
"Why?"
Aisha asked, it was because of the sudden remarked.
"Ermm…cause were in the same class, I have more chances to change her mind haha~"
With a wryly smile he said.
"More like an excuse to talk to her"
"Chung shut up!"
Aisha put her hand at her chin and as she give it some thoughts.
"Fine but if you do anything funny to her your dead meat, understand"
Aisha said with a hint of killing intent while cracking her knuckles.
"Hai! No problem"
…

After school…
Eve was picked up by a black mercedes in front of the school right on schedule.
She was now silently looking at the side window of the black car suddenly the driver asked .
"Ojou-sama how is school today"
"…It was nice"
"I see"
"…"
The conversation stop for awhile as the vehicle drove away from the school and not long they were about to reach home.
"Oberon…"
"Yes?"
Eve pause a moment.
"…it's nothing"
The driver took a glanced to the front mirror to see the young lady, even if she had a cold expression. Oberon can tell that something was bothering her that he wanted to know what distress her but he knew she won't tell him what it is.
"Ojou-sama if you want to talk something I am here to listen anytime"
As she heard, Eve shift her gaze towards the mirror which reflect the driver in front. She could not see his face due to his helmet but she could tell how sincere he was.
"Thanks I will consider it"
After a few more minutes of driving, finally they got home.
Eve went inside, it was a mansion but it was not huge like any rich people would have.
As Eve steps closer to the front door it immediately opened upon her arrival.
"Welcome back Ojou-sama"
A maid bowed as she greeted her.
"I'm home…"
The maid gently took her bag.
Then Eve heard a few panting sound that was coming her way.
"Woorff"
"Arrfff"
The panting sound came from two Siberian husky that ran to greet their mistress.
One is more black with a few white fur on his paws and belly the other one was pure white fur.
"Moby…Remy"
Eve bend her knees down to pat their head while the two dogs were delighted, in respond the two dogs wagged their tail.
She was also pleased to see them, they were her trusted companion since she was little that she treated them as part as her family.
"I see you have return"
Eve slightly twitch as she heard the man's voice and shortly she greeted him.
"I am home Addnii-san"
