"Come on Rei! Our first day at Kibou High School! Smile! We're going to make some new friends!" On the street, a bouncing girl clad in a white dress was dragging a boy who didn't seem to care less.
"Friends? Kylie, you know that's not possible." He stated, and felt guilty when kylie's face fell. She understood, of course. They were the ones that didn't exist. It was their fate…their destiny…to wipe off evil, nothing more.
"I have you as a friend. That's enough for me." Rei smiled a bit at her, not wanting to see her crestfallen face. Not many knew Kylie as he did. She has an appearance of a 6 year old, hence it seemed like she had to act as one. But under that childish, bubbly exterior, she is a genius, one that was not to be taken lightly. She had a really terrible past, or so he heard from the other code breakers though it wasn't that detailed. He felt that she was similar to him. Therefore when she suddenly appeared right before the code breakers, he took an attachment to her, thought it wasn't really evident.
"Eh? Thank you!" Kylie was, no doubt, touched by his words. He had no idea how much those words meant to her. It has been a long time since anyone cared for her.
"Come on, we're going to be late now." Rei ruffled her hair and grabbed her hand. When they reached the school, Kanda was waiting for them. She was a teacher in the school but she actually serves as Rei's assistant.
"Kanda- Chan!" Kylie squealed and ran to her, enveloping her into a hug. Kanda smiled lovingly at the girl. The girl always acted as though they were long lost sisters whenever she saw her. She ruffled her hair.
"Master." She bowed to Rei with respect.
"There's no need for that in public, Kanda-sensei." He addressed her. She nodded and asked Kylie, "What's your cover this time round?"
"I'm his sister, Kylie Ogami, and I am a genius who already got two degrees! I'm just here to spend time with my Nii-Chan!" She said with so much enthusiasm and innocence that it seemed as real as it sounds.
"Well, genius, let's get to class, shall we?" Rei asked. They walked down the hallway and stopped in front of Class 1-B.
"Hey everyone! Take your seat!" Kanda smiled as she walked in. Turning back, she motioned the two of them over.
"Here, please come in." She assumed her position as a teacher. Kylie grinned and dragged Rei in, standing in front of the class. Her eyes swept around the class as she found the girl she was looking for. Sakura Sakurakouji. Her violet eyes met hers and the next minute, the book in Sakura's hands dropped. She smiled.
"My name is Ogami Rei. Please take care of me." Rei smiled politely though his eyes were cold.
"My name is Yu-Ogami Kylie! Nice to meet you!" She bowed to the class and then looked up at Rei apologetically. Rei gave her a reassuring look. She sighed. In the midst of watching that girl, she had almost blown their cover.
"The both of them was a month late to come to school due to their father's work in overseas. From today on, they're your new classmates. Do help them if they are in trouble." Kanda smiled.
"Wow! He's a better looking guy than I thought, and his sister, she's angelic! I heard she's a genius and she's only 15 this year! To add to that, they're also the children of a boss of an overseas company. So charming!" Kylie turned her gaze towards the owner of the voice. She sat beside Sakura. Identifying that girl, she narrowed her eyes.
"I've heard that girl is the only one approved of not having to wear a uniform. The school must not have a uniform of her size since she's really short. But damn, she's pretty and rich, who cares?" Rei's eyes narrowed at the boy who dared to make that statement loud enough for everyone to hear. Kylie tugged at his hand, asking him to let it go.
"Very well, please take the seats over there!" Rei nodded and walked down the aisle with Kylie. While passing Sakura, he stooped and picked up the book Sakura had dropped.
"Here, you dropped this." Rei smiled, somewhat forced and the smile didn't reach his eyes, if one was observant enough to notice. Kylie sighed inwardly. Poor Rei, it must be difficult for him to act like a normal teenager. She thought. Sakura blinked as the book appeared in front of her. Then, she stared at Rei, who was still holding the book. The class began to chatter.
"What's wrong with Sakurakouji- San?"
"You know, they are staring at each other…"
"What the hell? That transfer student, does he already has his eyes on Sakurakouji?" Everyone couldn't stop whispering. Kylie's eyes narrowed and she tugged on Rei's hands again. They, or in particular, Rei, was attracting too much attention which couldn't be good, since she hasn't really identify the identity of the girl beside Sakura. She had a feeling that girl was not going to be beneficial to them.
"Nii- Chan." Her angelic voice chimed out, reverberating around the class. In a split second, all whispers ceased as everyone turned to look at her. Rei turned and gave her an appreciating look. He didn't think he could handle so much all by himself.
She's such an angel. It was all they could think.
"My bad, since this is a very important book, I appreciate it." Straight after, Sakura broke the silence and took the book, or rather, snatched it from Rei's hands. She showed the front cover of the book, which was on self-defence, as if it served as a warning to the both of them. Kylie looked amused when she saw that.
"You're welcome." Rei turned and said before leading Kylie to their seats.
"Amazing… those transfer students, they weren't even slightly surprised when they saw the book." Everyone whispered. Kanda clapped and requested for silence.
Soon, the class started, but throughout the lesson, a pair of eyes was trained on the two transfer students. Or maybe, two pairs. It was a start to everything that happened in the future.
I tried my best to make it less confusing, but please always ask if there are some parts which you don't understand. Thanks.
