Amazons Gaiden 1: Kyoya and Asuka

Darkness…

That is all what the boy sees all around before he hears something hissing and growling behind.

He turned around and saw a monster with red eyes trapped inside of a cage.

The boy's eyes widened in fear before the monster screamed at him.

(Reality)

"Aaahhh!" The boy screams as he sits up from his bed and soon begins to pant.

The boy appeared to be seven years old with black hair and blue eyes, and was wearing white sleeping clothes.

This is Yagami Kyoya.

The young Kyoya was sweating lightly as he was panting.

As he comes down he wipes away his sweat with his sleeve and gets out of bed.

After he left his room, Kyoya was seen walking to the kitchen and living room of his house as he was rubbing his eyes.

When he arrived at the said room, he saw a plate of rice balls on the table that was covered by a plastic cover and a note beside it.

Kyoya picks up the note and reads it.

'Dear Kyoya'

'I have some business in the company today, so I won't be home for a while. But don't worry I made sure to leave you some food until I get back.'

Kyoya sadly sighs as this wasn't the first time that his father was busy with his work and research.

He then noticed that there were more words on the note.

'PS, I know this is a little unusual for me to do this, but you're free to go outside and explore the neighborhood until I get back.'

Reading that really surprised Kyoya, because his father usually kept him inside the house even after they moved to different places.

Kyoya made an eager smile as he wasn't going to let this chance pass him by.

Kyoya then begins to eat the rice balls.

After breakfast and changing to a green shirt and brown shorts with white shoes, Kyoya opens the door and walks outside carrying his favorite book under his arm.

The moment he looked at the sky he shielded his eyes from the bright sun. He then took a moment to admire the sun and the blue sky.

Kyoya then closes the door and locks it and he puts the key in his pocket.

Kyoya then walked down the street to explore the neighborhood. He and his father moved here for about a week, but he wasn't allowed outside because his father wouldn't allow it at first so this will be his first time in a while to explore and get familiar with the area he will be staying.

Kyoya soon stopped walking as he spotted a playground, and spotted a big tree with a large shadow beneath it.

Kyoya heads to the tree and sits down to it as he leans his back on it. He then opens his book and begins to read it.

The book was about different metals and materials and how they were used for.

Even though the book was too complicated for a child his age, Kyoya easily understood the book.

Being the son of a scientist, Kyoya was always fascinated by science and technology and would often do his own experiments out of fun and to satisfy his own curiosity.

"Hey what are you doing?" Kyoya was surprised to hear a voice behind him.

Kyoya turned around and saw a girl behind him.

The girl was the same age as him with long ash-blonde hair and had cold blue eyes, she was wearing a pink shirt with a blue skirt and white sneakers.

"Oh...nothing…" Kyoya told her as he closed his book and hid it. "I was just reading my book."

"Hmmm…" The girl hummed before she chuckles. "That's silly. Who reads books outside and on a playground?"

Kyoya's face turns red in embarrassment before he turns away from her. He then saw the girl had brought her face close to his, which surprised him as he leaned back as he wasn't this close to a child his own age before much less a girl as cute as her.

"By the way, what's your name?" She asked, and Kyoya blinked before he answered.

"Yagami. It's Yagami Kyoya."

"Yagami, hmm…" Asuka hummed before she smiled. "It's nice to meet you. I'm Otori Asuka."

"Thank you. It's nice to meet you as well." Kyoya said.

Asuka then sits down beside him.

"So what kind of book are you reading?" She asked.

"Oh it's about metals and materials. Do you want to read it?" Kyoya asked.

"Sure I don't see why not." Asuka nodded.

Kyoya handed his book to her, and Asuka opened the book but flinched when she saw it was filled with complicated words and other things she doesn't understand.

"W-What's this word? Pallady...Palladin…" Asuka mutters.

"It's Palladium." Kyoya told her. "It's the 46 atomic number of the periodic table. The metal they used for the converters for cars, and for jewellery and dental fillings."

"I-I see…" Asuka mutters as she isn't sure what she means.

"But it's this material that fascinates me the most." Kyoya said as he pointed at the said material, and Asuka looked at it.

"Lime?" Asuka reads out loud.

"That's right. You see, lime is a calcium-containing inorganic mineral composed primarily of oxides, and hydroxide, usually calcium oxide and/or calcium hydroxide. And it has many different uses, it's the key element of making cement, concrete, and motor, which they used to build buildings and roads. And only that it can also be used as a soap, and it can be used as saltpeter which is also a key element in making gunpowder." Kyoya said as he went on, and every word he was saying was making Asuka dizzy and confused as her eyes became swirls and smoke was coming out of her ears..

Asuka closes the book which made Kyoya stop as she handed it to him.

"Stop! Stop! You're not making any sense to me." Asuka told him.

"Oh...I'm sorry, I sometimes get like that whenever I explain something about science." Kyoya said in embarrassment.

"It's alright. So you're into science?" Asuka asked, and Kyoya nodded. "Wow, that's amazing. You must be really smart to understand all that."

"Well...I wouldn't say I'm that smart." Kyoya said as he rubs the back of his neck. "But my dad is a scientist himself, so I guess it's only natural."

"I see. But why are you reading that book out here?" Asuka asked.

"It's a little complicated...but due to personal reasons my dad won't let me go out of the house often, and I usually spend most of my time indoors. But today, he said it was okay for me to go out." Kyoya said.

"I see...Hmm…" Asuka hummed before she had an idea before she stood up and moved in front of Kyoya and offered her hand to him. "Hey if you want, I'll show you the right ways of playing outside."

"Really? Are you sure?" Kyoya asked and Asuka nodded. Kyoya thought about it before he accepted her hand. "Alright, I'll take your offer then."

"Okay then," Asuka said as she helped him stand and they began to move. "Let's go have some fun."

First was the slide Asuka was the first one to climb up and slide down on it. After she got off she turned to Kyoya as he was on the top but a little nervous about sliding down.

"Come on, Yagami-kun, it's your turn." Asuka told him.

"But, Otori-san, I'm not sure about this…" Kyoya mutters a little scared and nervous.

"Don't worry, it's going to be fine. Trust me." Asuka assured him, and Kyoya strangely calmed down before he took a deep breath.

"Okay." Kyoya said. "Whoa!"

He then slid down the slide and was a little stunned by the experience as he was frozen in place.

"See it wasn't so scary, was it?" Asuka asked.

"Actually it kind of was…" Kyoya mutters as he places his hand on his chest as he feels his heart racing. "But the experience was still strangely exciting and exhilarating. Do you know any other things that are like this?"

"Hm-Hm." Asuka nodded.

They begin to play on the seesaw, as Asuka and Kyoya go up and down one at a time and Kyoya was thrilled by this as he hadn't gone this high up before.

Then they were now playing red light, green light. Asuka had her face in front of a tree as Kyoya was moving towards her but stops as Asuka turns back to him and soon turns away from and Kyoya moves to her but carefully to make sure he doesn't lose.

After doing a few more games and playing with the playground equipment, Kyoya and Asuka left the playground as they walked on the street together.

"Man I never had so much fun before in my life. Thanks for playing with me, Otori-san." Kyoya told her.

"It was no problem. I'll be happy to play with you again if you feel up for it." Asuka told him.

"Thanks. I'll be sure to let you know." Kyoya said.

"You're welcome. But if you're still up for it, how about one more game?" Asuka asked..

"Well I'm not sure. I should really get back home now." Kyoya said as he rubs the back of his head.

"Then how about a race?" Asuka asked.

"A race?" Kyoya blinks.

"Yeah, between you and me and the finish line is to your house." Asuka explained.

"I'm not sure...I hadn't raced with anyone before." Kyoya told her.

"What's wrong? Afraid that you'll lose to a girl?" Asuka asked, sounding a little confident and Kyoya flinched to hear that before he showed her a serious look on his face.

"Alright then, you're on." Kyoya told her.

"Okay. Then on your mark, get set, and...Go!" Asuka said as she ran ahead.

"Hey, that's cheating!" Kyoya said as he ran behind her.

After running for about 10 minutes, they were close to Kyoya's home. But then Kyoya quickly stops running as he feels an intense pain in his chest.

"No...not now…" Kyoya mutters before he covers his mouth with his hand as he starts to cough.

Asuka then heard Kyoya collapsing and quickly turned around and saw that he was coughing with his hands on his mouth.

"Yagami-kun?! Asuka said in worry as she ran to check on him as she knelt down. "What's wrong?"

Kyoya had managed to stop coughing and to Asuka's shock he was coughing out blood as there was a small amount on his hands and trail was hanging from the edge of his lip.

Kyoya weakly turns at her.

"Otori-san...please help...it hurts so much…" Kyoya said weakly before he started to cough again.

"Oh no...what can I do? What can a magical girl do?" Asuka asked in worry and fear as she wasn't sure on how to help her new friend.

"Kyoya?!" Asuka's eyes widened before she turned and saw an older man running to them.

He was a man in his 30s, he had midnight black hair, and sky blue eyes. He was wearing a white button shirt with black pants and shoes. This is Yagami Keiichiro, Kyoya's father.

Keiichiro knelt down to his son to check on him before he turned to Asuka.

"What happened?" Keiichiro asked.

"I-I'm not sure...We were racing earlier, but then suddenly this happened!" Asuka said in worry.

Keiichiro picks his son up as he carries him in his arms.

"We'll worry about this later. Right now he needs help. Come on." Keiichiro said as he ran to the house and Asuka followed him, and Keiichiro looked down at his son. "Just hang on, son."

Asuka was waiting in the living room of the Yagami house, as she was seated on the couch while hugging on her legs as she was worried about Kyoya.

She then heard someone walking into the room, she turned and saw that it was Keiichiro as he walked to her.

Asuka quickly stands up and faces the father of her new friend.

"Yagami-san, how is he?" Asuka asked in worry.

Keiichiro showed her reassuring smile as he placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Don't worry, he's stable now." Keiichiro told her.

"Thank goodness…" Asuka said in relief before she started to cry and wiped away her tears. "I'm so sorry...I didn't mean for this to happen."

"Hey," Keiichiro said as he patted her on the head. "You have nothing to apologize for. This was on me, I was the one who allowed him to go out while he's still recovering."

"R-Recovering? From what?" Asuka asked as she calmed down a little."

"It's...a long story." Keiichiro said as he rubs the back of his head before he knelt down to Asuka's height as he looked at her. "Also, you said your name is Asuka-chan, right?"

Asuka nodded.

"Well then, I have a favor I like for you to do. Will you be my son's friend?" Keiichiro asked, and Asuka's eyes widened in shock before he rubs the back of his neck. "You see, there's a few reasons why I can't let my son go outside. And it's also the reason why he can't go to school, so I'm afraid he doesn't have any friends his own age."

"Are you sure, you want me to do it?" Asuka asked.

"I do." Keiichiro nodded.

Asuka hummed as she thought about it and soon made her decision as she nodded.

"Alright, I'll do my best then. I promise." Asuka told him.

"Thank you. That really means a lot to me." Keiichiro said in gratitude. "Also if you want, you can go see him."

"Is that okay?" Asuka nodded.

"Yes." Keiichiro nodded. "He's more than well enough to speak with you."

Asuka thought about it before she nodded.

"Alright, I will." Asuka said.

Kyoya was lying on his bed as he was looking at the sky through his window.

He then hears a knock on his door and turns to it.

"Yagami-kun, it's me." Asuka said through the other side of the door, and Kyoya was surprised that she's still here as he sits up. "Can I come in?"

Kyoya thought about it before he gave his answer.

"Yeah, come in." Kyoya told her.

Asuka opens the door as she walks inside his room and then she walks to him.

The both of them were quiet as they were a little nervous and weren't sure on what to say to each other before….

"I'm really sorry!" They both said at the same time. "W-Why are you apologizing?"

They were quiet again before Kyoya answered first.

"Well, the reason I wanted to apologize is because I really made you afraid and worried about me. I should've told you before the reason why I wasn't allowed to go outside is because I'm still recovering from an illness." Kyoya told her.

"No, you have no reason to apologize about that." Asuka said as she waved her hands. "In fact if I knew before I probably shouldn't have made you race with me."

"Then I guess we're both at fault here." Kyoya stated.

"Yeah, I guess we are." Asuka said in agreement before they both started to chuckle. "But anyway, how are you feeling?

"I feel a little better now, thanks to Tou-san. Now I just need some rest and I'll be as good as new." Kyoya told her.

"That's good to hear." Asuka said before she nervously looks down. "Also…"

Kyoya blinks as he notices that she looks a little nervous for some reason.

"I know, what happened will never be undone, but do you still want to be friends with me?" Asuka asked.

Kyoya was a little surprised to hear that before he thought about it and soon nodded.

"Yeah, I would like to be friends with you." Kyoya said and Asuka smiled to hear that.

"Okay, then how about we give a nickname to each other?" Asuka asked.

"A nickname?" Kyoya repeated.

"Yeah, for instance, your name is Kyoya, right?" Asuka asked and Kyoya nodded. "Then I'll call you, Kyo-kun, from now on. If it's alright with you."

Kyoya was a little surprised to hear that, he was never given a nickname like that before he smiled and nodded.

"Alright, that sounds fine with me." Kyoya said.

"Really? I'm glad to hear that. Now it's your turn. What do you want to call me from now on?" Asuka asked.

Kyoya hummed as he thought about it and soon got an idea.

"Asu-chan...how does Asu-chan sound?" Kyoya asked a little nervously as he was a little worried if it sounded a little too childish.

But thankfully, Asuka smiles as she nodded.

"Yeah, that sounds perfect. Thank you, Kyo-kun." Asuka told him.

"You're welcome...Asu-chan…" Kyoya mutters before he starts to chuckle nervously, but was still happy to make a friend today.

Unknown to them is that Keiichiro was watching them as he was hiding behind the wall beside the door, as he smiles as he was glad that Kyoya made a friend today.

"Thank you, Asuka-chan." Keiichiro said as he left as Kyoya and Asuka talked.

Keiichiro then brought out and looked at his phone, he was looking at pictures with Kyoya playing with Asuka.

He had a few surveillance drones watch over him to make sure that nothing happened, and to watch how Kyoya's recovery was progressing and if he showed any signs of change.

Keiichiro sighed in relief before he deleted the pictures and put his phone away.

"I guess I should count myself lucky that he hadn't transformed in front of her, if he had I wasn't on what to do…" Keiichiro muttered before he shook his head and placed a hand on his head. "Come on, Keiichiro, you shouldn't worry about that. You should be glad that Kyoya made a friend, and that girl is perfect to help me watch over him."

Keiichiro then remembers the day his son transformed from his hospital bed, and has to keep his transformed and mutated son in a glass cell as he was hissing and growling at him.

Keiichiro sighs before he heads to his office.

"Maybe doing some research will help put my mind in ease." Keiichiro said as he opens the door and walks inside as he closes it.

There you have it, I hope that you like it. Please review to tell me what you think.
