-Before the Story-

Cold wind blow my cheeks, people passed by, a quite space where good souls rest, a weak rain wetting my eyes as i face the gravestone, today was the death anniversary of my parents, they horribly died infront of me, a fire suddenly broke out in the middle of the night and my parents wake up due to the excessive wall of smoke, they try to rescue some of our household things but failed miserably, though they manage to rescue us, they didnt manage to rescue themselves.

i honestly dont want to remember those, but my sister jamie, treasure them

my name is teds, im 15 years old and currently at 4th grade highschool, im your average guy who like eating, playing and not studying, i usually attend my school with my sister, but my advisor teacher said that its fine if im late. not like im praising myself but i always got goodmarks on exams, though i dont really care about my marks...

my sister Jamie, is my 13 years old little sister who attend the same school as me, she's in 3rd grade highschool and she's kind of cute... though im not saying that to her personally, she's not really good at academics, pretty much average on physical activities, but Godlike on household chores, she done most of them but i also do some... on rare occasions

i finished my prayer and looked at jamie, she's still praying, i wait for her to finish up while fixing the flowers we regurally offer to our parents, the flowers consisist of hyacinth, my mother's favorite, and bellflower, my father's favorite flower.

Jamie finished up her prayer and together, we offer, i mean put the bouquet of flowers infront of our parent's gravestone, did our last prayer and decided to leave, jamie looked back one last time before heading to the gate entrance.

at the gate entranced, waiting there is Hart and Kana

Hart, my classmate as well as my best friend, he's you average good-looking-but-useless guy, though he have the brains, but he certainly dont have the attitude, even so, he's still my best friend and that wont ever change. Kana, is a girl who just joined our circle last year, our parents is still alive on that time, she's pretty, not like i say it to her in person, its just my personal opinion, she's trustworthy and never let you down, though she always poke her nose on someone else's business, maybe too much.

together with kana, hart and jamie, we leave the cemetery and head outside, the weak rain already subside and we're walking on the sidestreet, hart is talking about nonsense and kana and jamie are listening to him, me? i just make a comment passively, hart asked me once, but when he saw my bored face, he shut up and continue with his nonsense, he knows when to bother me or not, thats what i like about him.

in times like this i always wish for time to speed up, and it always does, i have that ability since birth but i really dont abuse it that much since whenever i use it, i end up being hungry, so rather, i dont want to use it now for the sake of hart, he try his best to blow away the tense atmosphere between kana and jamie. somehow, those two never get along for a reason jamie dont want to tell me nor kana, but now they're chatting like sisters... girls.

as we passed the outdoor TV, a newsreporter is talking about the incedent yesterday. consecutive strange killings. in our town, there is always a dead body every two days, the investigation is till not going smooth, not like i care, it became a fad on highschool girls and talking about it everywhere, well, its a good thing since there is something to chat about.

Hart and Kana seperate from us on the intersection since their home is on the left side of town, our's is near our school, which is on the north, then jamie talks to me.


Jamie: "hey brother, what would you want for dinner?"
Me: "as long as its not poisoned, im good"
Jamie: "so? what do you want?"
Me: "hamburger"
Jamie: "its our dinner yesterday"
Me: "burger steak"
Jamie: "its the same"
Me: "spaghetti"
Jamie: "uhm?"
Me: "anything, as long as you make it, then it will be delicious"
Jamie: "anything is a hard choice"
Me: "i know, but im sure you can do it"
Jamie: "geez, you depend on me too much"
Me: "haha, look whose talking"
Jamie: "hehehe"

we laughed like that as we head back to our house, its almost evening, orange tainted the earlier dark sky and the clouds looked like they enjoy flying their freedom. Jamie bring out her door key and put it on the knob, the door make an unlocking sound and jamie opened the door, once again i feel at peace, im anxious whenever im outside.

jamie prepared our dinner, menu is a simple fried rice and fried fish, a simple meal but somehow, it became a ritual for us to eat simple meal together and chat about whatever happened to us, like an unwritten rule.

i took a bath to refresh my mind and head to my room, jamie greets me goodnight and i did the same... tomorrow is monday and the start of new semester, i wish everything will be alright and this peaceful days will last.

[LordNight]

-Monday-

Hello, my name is teds, im 15 years old and currently at 4th grade highschool, im attending it with my little sister, jamie. our parents died last year because our house was burned, now, we are living in our parents old house, why? because its near our school, it save me the time for commuting...

Hart: "ahaha, just take it easy man... you should be thankful that someone is waking you up, making breakfast and cleaning the house, seriously, are you sure she's your sister?"
Me: "eh? of course i am"
Hart: "i envy you dude, anyways... goodmorning xD" *pats me on the back*
me: "sure, goodmorning too, anyways, i want to talk..."
Hart: "hmm? about what?"
me: "about the game i lend you last month"
Hart: "ugh... i remember lise wants to talk... see yah later dude" *runs*

.
hmm... oh? whats with the place... this place sure is creepy. by the way, jamie ends up on this abandoned factory and yes... im following her without knowing where i was until this time -.-

anyways, whats with this town? why have an abandoned factory? seriously... the mayor should demolish this place. enough, where is jamie?
...
..
.
hah, im walking endlessly, where the hell is she? while looking left, right, up and down... i saw five shadows, four are some kind of animal, and the other one is a girl... wait? a girl? i know this girl, i wont mistake that hairtie for someone... ITS JAMIE!! the other four looking animal is devouring a thing... but if you look closely... it resembles a human... ugh, i cant watch anymore. but as i back off, i step on a broken glass, seriously, i dont know if im lucky or what.
gah, my five senses are telling me to run, but man, can you run on a situation like this? YOU CANT EVEN MOVE A MUSCLE! i wish im just dreaming and jamie will wake me up saying "brother, its morning"

Jamie: "Brother"
yes like that, hah, i really love her sweet voice that adds emphasis to the greatness of the sun,

Jamie: "Brother"
her voice sounds like lullaby that makes me go back to sleep

Jamie: *the four looking animals growl* "BROTHER!"
Me: "wa? we? what?"
man, that sure pulls me back to reality

Jamie: "you saw it?"
Me: "no i dont"
oh my dear sister, please dont ask such an obvious question, now im convinced that your an idiot

Jamie: "no, you saw it"
seriously, if you declare it like that, then dont ask on the first place my dear idiotic sister, hah,

Jamie: "you saw it" *started crying*
oh for christ sake, now your crying? im the one whose supposed to cry on this situation idiot.

Jamie: *keeps on crying*
ok, now i know what will i put on my last will... enough with the jokes, i feel kind of bad making her cry like this, though am i really the one who made her cry? doesnt matter

Me: "why?"
Jamie: *pause on crying* "eh?"
Me: "nevermind, i know you have your reason..." *pats jamie on the head* "dont worry, i trust you"
Jamie: *wipes her face* "sure" *nod nod*
Me: "now, we should head back, classes will start soon"
we head back to classroom, the scene wont stop repeating inside my HDD, i mean brain, man, that sure is hardcore, i mean even the MTRCB wont permit it to air on TV. whatever, i will just forget what happen... i hope so...
we spend our day on school like normal students would... and we head back to home, dinner time on our household

Jamie: "brother, can i have a minute"
Me: "of course you cant, my time is precious"
Jamie: ... *puppy eyes*
Me: "ok what it is?"
man, your using that as your strategy? then its working, i just cant resist those eyes... i guess every boy my age is weak against that

Jamie: "about what happen this afternoon"
Me: "jamie listen, i dont want to talk nor remember about what happened earlier"
Jamie: "uhm, i know, but, can you please keep that a secret?"
Me: "why should i?"
Jamie: "uhm..."
Me: "fine, in one condition"
Jamie: "eh? what condition?"
Me: "you will be my slave"
Jamie: "eh!? what!? me? your slave? uhm... what kind of slave brother?"
o0hhh, what a nice question, my dear idiotic sister, there are many types of slaves, and there are also many kinds of them xD
ok going back to the question, hmm, heh, i can make her do whatever i want... like this... or that... *evil laugh* though... sorry to dissapoint my fair readers, im a good boy =)

Me: "you will give me money everytime i ask for it"
Jamie: "uhm... excuse me?"
Me: "even if you dont have one, you must do anything to have one and give them to me... starting tonight"
Jamie: "ugh..."
Me: "by the way, you dont have the right to reject,object,decline or say no"
Jamie: "..."

...
.

Jamie: "fine, i dont have much choice... but, promise that you will keep it a secret"
me: "yep, you have my word, and even if i dont, no one will beleave me"
Jamie: "tee hee, i guess, anyways, thank brother" *hug*
me: "yeah right, now go to sleep"
Jamie: "sure, sweetdreams brother"

NOTHING!!, nyahaha, anyways, like in history, i will just sleep my way out of here, but... i learned my lesson in history class, i will sleep but keep my ears awake... just in case.
...
..
.
i dont know why but suddenly, our PE teacher order us to count 1 and 2, and im number two, man, i hate that number...
ok, our PE teacher said that we will play a game, and here is the rules

1. the class will be divided by two [name will be decided by leader] teams and will decide their leader themselves
2. the leaders will play rock paper scissors to determine whose going offense and whose going defense

1. in offense, the members [also the leader if he/she wants] must do anything to pull the opponent's
leader into thier base
2. in defense, the members must protect thier leader at all cost from the attacking opponent
3. any means is possible, just dont get hurt
4. the winners will be exempted from the upcoming long quiz
5. a fight will be over if

1. in offense, the leader succesfully pulled the leader into their base
2. in defense, the leader succesfully annihilate [bring down] all of opponents members

Me: "whoah, what a tempting prize"
Hart: "heh, it sure is"
Me: "wait, your on this group"
Hart: "yap, also kana"
Me: "whoah, this will be fun... now, who will be the leader?"
Everyone in team 2: *stares at me*
Me: "eh? your kidding right?"
Hart: "dude, just accept your fate"
Me: "heh, but you all will follow my commands, hear that?"
Everyone in team 2: *nod nod*
Me: "heh, this will be interesting"
and the gymnasium suddenly became a battlefield
...
..
.

Private kim: "sir, report sir"
Me: "lets hear it out"
Private kim: "our opponent's leader is commander Lise sir"
Me: "hmm, Lise huh, this will be a tough match, ok, thank you private kim"
Private kim: "sir yes sir"
Sergeant Hart: "so, its Lise, you have to pull yourself together in this war, General Commander Teds"
Me: "no worries Sergeant Hart, we will win this war"
and me and lise play rock paper scissors, i win so we will going offensive
...
..
.

General Kana: "can i have a minute sir?"
Me: "what it is? General kana?"
General Kana: "look at out opponent sir"
Me: "hmm, they're using the boys as their frontline and the girls as rear, whats with that?"
General Kana: "yes, so i suggest that we will also take the boys in the fro-"
Me: "no need General Kana, i have a better idea"
General Kana: "what is it sir?"
Me: "put all the girls in the front line, and make sure they're single, if one is already in a relationship, put them in the rear, the boys will support the girls in the frontline"
General Kana: "but sir, it will be dangerous"
Me: "the battlefield is dangerous itself, General Kana"
General Kana: "but sir"
Sergeant Hart: "give it up general kana, commanders order right"
Me: "ah, also, Sergeant hart, you will take charge of commanding the boys, general Kana will lead the girls, i will take command"
General Kana: "sir yes sir"
Sergeant Hart: "roger"
and now, the war commence and me, teds, will be the commentator as well as the General commander of team two ah, i almost forgot

Me: "WAIT!, before i forgot, let me have my speech"
Everyone in team two: *stops and listen*
Me: "this is it guys, we will going now to the battlefield, and this will be your life and death situation, gentlemen, be sure to go back home alive and marry your girl. (if you have one) ladies, please do your best to support everyone... now i will call this team... TEAM TEDDY BEAR!"
Everyone in team teddy bear: -.-
Me: "whoah, you all guys have the same reaction, cool xD anyways we will win this war... now CHARGE TEAM TEDDY BEAR!!"
Everyone in team teddy bear: "OOOHHHHH!!"
Me: "yes!! do it team teddy bear! destroy all enemies!!!hahahahahahahaha"
Lise: "here they come... all boys, hold them down!"
every boy in lise's team try to buff their defense and raise their range... as if, that wont work on me

Me: "General Kana, order the girls to hug the boys on enemy side"
General Kana: "sir? but that is ridiculous sir"
Me: "this is an order, general kana"
General Kana: "err, ok ladies, hug them... but not too tight"
and they hug [no, thats not a hug... more than its like a touch] and guess what, its effective, their backing out... haha, i know their weakness xD

Lise: "useless bunch of id- whatever, girls do what-"
Me: "too late"
Lise: "mmmppphhhh" translation: "let me go!"
while lise is panicking, i already sneak into their base, and while she's ordering the girls, i already hold her mouth [so that she will shut up, but i guess thats useless] and pull her into our base.

Me: "take that, we win"
Lise: "tsk, whatever, we will definitely win the second round"
Me: "pretty confident eh? lets see what you can do"
round 2 - we're on the defense and them for the offense, heh, lets see if they really win this round, i have a couple of idea's in my internal HDD i mean brain, they cant beat us... fuwahahaha.

Me: "hmm, let see, they will use boys as frontline again, man they never learn, anyways, again, all our girls who are already on a relationship, go to the frontline, girls who are single will support them, guys, prepare some stones and spread them in our base uhm, and general kana and sergeant hart, i have a plan, and i need both of you."
[from this part, lise will be our commentator and focus in their team, also, we will go back 5 minutes early]

Celine: "hey sis, we lose round one, what would we do now?"
Lise: "yeah, but we will win this time, im sure... put the boys as our first wave, the girls as second, though we will not need theme, one wave is enough"
Celine: "you sure look confident"
Lise: "hmph, just look and see"
im pretty confident on this one but one part of my body is telling me not to understamate teds, but, we will win this round, i swear
and round 2 began, our boys rushingly run on the battlefield but stop... what the? what now?

Lise: "wha? why they stop?"
Celine: "look closely, they're hesitating because they dont want their girlfriend to be hurt"
Lise: "tsk, never thought of it, anyways, wave two, attack!"
since our wave 1 fail, i have to use my wave two, and while there is chaos, im sneaking in with celine into team 1's base... just slowly and carefully... and...
[from this part, lise's commentating is over, and i will take the mic =) ]

Lise: "got you"
Me: ...
Lise: "heh, its over,
Me: "i dont think so... lise"
Lise: "eh?"
[lets go back 10 minutes later]

Me: "hmm, let see, they will use boys as frontline again, man they never learn, anyways, again, all our girls who are already on a relationship, go to the frontline, girls who are single will support them, guys, prepare some stones and spread them in our base uhm, and general kana and sergeant hart, i have a plan, and i need both of you."
General Kana: "what it is sir?"
Me: "general kana, let me borrow you uniform, and hart, put on some wax on your hair and copy my hairstyle"
Sergeant Hart: "ah, i get the picture, roger"
General kana: "sir yes sir, excellent plan sir"
Me: "heh, lets see what they can do"
[lets go back to the present]

Sergeant Hart: "i dont think so... lise"
Lise: "eh?"
Me: "looks like our win, lise" *still in girls uniform*
Lise: "what the? why are you wearing that? more importantly, we lose!?"
Me: "yeah, hear it right and clear, you lose"
General Kana: "look around you lise"
and as lise look around, she found that he's team stopped attacking ours

Lise: "what the? someone explain this to me!?"
Sergeant Hart: "let me do the honors, general general commander teds anticipated what your plan and use the girls as our primary tower, and the stones as our secondary"
Lise: "stones?"
Sergeant hart: "yes, stones, we use them so that they will think again if they want to run"
Lise: "hmph, i guess we lose, nice fight teds"
me: "sure, ahaha, now we're exempted, nyahaha"
All member of team teddy bear: "yeah!"
and with that, team teddy bear wins the match and lunch has arrived xD
lunch break, and i purposely forgot my lunch box, why? because there is someone who is willing to give her money to me *evil laugh* so, where is she?

Ren: "hey teds, can i have a minute of you?"
Me: "sure, what it is?"
Ren: "let me go straight to the point... some of our classmates says that they saw your sister walking to the abandoned factory yesterday, where is your sister around lunchtime yesterday?"
uhm, before i forgot, this guy is Ren, he's the president of the school newspaper, and i can personally state... this guy is sharp.

Me: "eh? what do you mean?"
Ren: "an incident happened yesterday, around 12:30 pm inside the abandoned factory, our lunchbreak is 12:00 am to 1:00 pm, and there is some witness that your sister is in the abandoned factory on that time, so? where is your sister around lunchbreak yesterday?"
tsk, he's sharp, i wonder how can i escape, ah! i know.

Me: "i dont know, its not like im with her 24/7"
Ren: "i see, thanks for your time, thats all, sorry for the trouble"
Me: "sure, no problem"
man, that scares the hell out of me... i should do something about that guy sooner or later, anyways, where is jamie? she's not in the cafeteria, i wonder... ah, why am i searching on the cafeteria on the first place? she bring her lunch box with her earlier, whatever, where is her classroom by the way?
...
..
.

Me: "yo sherly, jamie is?"
Sherly: "eh? ah, she just gone somewhere, and she should be back by now, wanna wait?"
Me: "hmm, sure"
...
..
.

Jamie: "eh? brother? whats wrong? why the sudden visit?"
Me: "its not sudden, by the way, im hungry"
Jamie: "uhm?"
Me: "gimme your lunch"
Jamie: "what!? then, how about me?"
Me: "its your problem now my dear sister"
Jamie: "aw" *hands lunchbox to me*
Me: "now, shall we eat together xD"
Sherly: "this guy sucks, jamie, i can share lunch with you"
Jamie: "thanks sherly, your a great friend >.< "
with that, lunch break is over as well as 2nd half of our school schedule, now jamie and i are heading home together, and while walking, i saw a new game release, hahaha, i dont know if im lucky or what

Me: "jamie, wait here"
Jamie: "eh? ah sure"

Me: "heya guys, looks like fun, let me at it too =) "
Guy 1: "hah!? whats your problem man?"
Me: "well, that girl happened to be my sister so, can you guys release her? we're heading home now"
Guy 2: "no can do dude, she's our plaything"
Me: "i see, well, big mistake =)
by the way, you see my dear readers, ever since my childhood, it seems like i have the power to command time, when i want to, time slows itself, making street fights easy for me... yah, and i never lose one, and like the usual, i win, without sweat.

Me: "tsk, a bunch of weaklings, jamie, are you hurt?"
Jamie: "uhm, no im fine, more importantly brother"
Me: "yes? what is it?"
Jamie: "that girl is scary"
Me: "hmm?"
i follow jamie's finger and saw a girl standing at the entrace of alleyway, her hair dance as the wind blows and her skirt flutters, making a nostalgic sound... i know this girl, she's wearing a unique uniform... wait that uniform belongs to saint spring academy, an all-girls school whose students are all d*mn rich, what is she doing in here?
as i confusely ask myself those questions, the mystery girl draw two rapiers... and charge into me, at the same time, i felt a searing pain on my chest...
...
..
.
she stabbed me!? what the f*ck? whats her problem!? d*mn, it hurts! it d*mn hurts! it hurts like hell, gah... oh no this is bad, im losing consciousness, im getting sleepy... ugh... no, i still have to pawn noobs in grenadechase... hart only have me, he will be lonely if im gone... i have to stand up... no i cant... ugh... is... this... the... end?

Me: "whoah!"
i suddenly get up, man im sweating, its hot in here, wait where am i? ah wait, im on my room... wait a sec, time? oh, 12 minutes past 5, its still early, wait a sec, i remember dying... wound... i search my chest and the wound is gone, not even a scar, what the hell is happening?
i slowly got up, and grab something to drink and i saw my sister sleeping on the sofa, hmm, i thought she have her own room here? or im just mistaken, anyways i need to wake her up so that she will sleep on her room.

Me: "Jamie, wake up, dont sleep in here, go to your room" *shakes shakes*
Jamie: "mmmhhhmmm"
Me: "oh comeon dont give me that crap, wake up" *slaps slaps*
Jamie: "mmmhhhmmm" *roll over*
Me: *steps back*

ITS A SEE-THROUGH! for christ sake, and it looks like she's not wearing anything underneath, WHY IS SHE SLEEPING LIKE THIS DEFENSELESS!?, ugh, its not the time for this... whatever, if she wants to sleep in here, i'll leave her alone. ah! i forgot, water water...

Me: "gah!"
Jamie: "gah?"

Jamie: "eh?"
Me: "just kidding, wake up and go to your room also... fix your dress"
Jamie: "thank God your alive, i really did my best on healing you, hehe, ok, i will go back to my room"

Jamie: "eh? ah, goodmorning brother"
Me: "yo, morning, eat now before it gets cold"
Jamie: "ok"
Me: "by the way Jamie"
Jamie: "yes?"
Me: "..."
Jamie: "what is it brother?"
Me: "earlier, you said that you did your best on healing me, what do you mean by that?"
Jamie: ...
Me: "jamie?"
Jamie: "secret"
Me: "whatever, eat your breakfast, we're going to school soon"
Jamie: "OK"
and with that, we spend our usual morning and we usually head out to school, several minutes before first period starts.

Hart: "yo man, whoah, whats with that face, you look like a zombie"
Kana: "what happened? do you feel sick?"
Me: "eh? does my face look that bad?"
wha? whats with my face today? ugh, i didnt look at the mirror. crap this is bad, i need to cover this up, even if i dont know what is happening, i feel like this somewhat connected on what happened early morning.

Me: "well, yes, i dont really fell that good today"
Kana: "really? maybe you should take the day off"
Hart: "yeah man, health is important"
i know that idiot

Me: "dont worry guys, im fine"
Hart: "you sure dude?"
Me: "yes"
Hart: "well, ok, lets leave it like that"
Kana: "uhm, i guess"
Hart: "by the way, you got our homework? i forgot man"
oh sh*t

Kana: "what? again?"
Hart: "well yeah so im asking if... ah! knowing teds, you probably forgot it also, so kana, let me borrow yours"
Kana: "well, sure, but make your own next time"
Hart: "roger!"
and they leave me alone, ah, i dont have our homework, ah well, i dont feel well so might as well skip 1st half, and with that in mind, i go out on the classroom and sneak out of school... i also search for a public toilet and try to look on the mirror...
and yes, they're right, my face looks pale like death... ah well, i guess, since i already died.

Me: "mm... gwaa... wooo?"
i make wierd faces on the mirror

Me: "brains"
i also mimic one of the characters of brains VS zombies, and yes, i look like an idiot here
i stopped the nonsense and gone somehere else... and after much debating (with no one to debate to) i decided to go to the park. as i walking idly i hear a metallic crashing sound... and another... i keep on hearing such sounds and my curiousity picks in...

Me: "who the hell is making it?"
and i angrily head to the source of the sound.
...
..
.
there i saw two girls fighting, one girl is holding two rapiers and the other is holding one sword... wait, the other one is the one who KILLED ME BACK THEN! wait, she's fighting another girl, and it looks like she's in a pinch, might as well help her.
as i approach them, the girl wielding two rapiers kneel down... looks like she lose, and falls head first... looks like she's dead, oh crap this is bad, i have to hurry
...
..
.

girl with a sword: "oh? are you acquainted to her?"
Me: "nope, just a passer by"
girl with a sword: "i see, then step aside, its better if you dont get involve"
Me: "eh? what are you doing?"
girl with a sword: "killing her"
Me: "whoah thats hardcore, now i just cant do nothing while watching someone killing another one, especially if its a girl"
girl with a sword: "hmm?"
Me: "just let me look cool"
girl with a sword: "heh, so... your gonna save her?"
Me: "yes"
girl with a sword: "i see, well, nice to meet you taurus, im pheonix, then lets have some fun, shall we?"
eh? taurus?

Me: "what are you talking about?"
Pheonix: "oh? so you dont know your zodiac spirit? well, thats too bad"
Me: "i certainly dont have any idea what your talking about, but one thing im sure"
Pheonix: "hmm?"
Me: "your the bad guy in here"
Pheonix: "well, i guess, but too bad, im not a guy"
then she suddenly charges into me pulling her sword along and slash... i barely avoided it

Pheonix: "by the way, i know what your ability can do... and that wont work on me"
Me: "what?"
pheonix just running on circles around me...

Me: "tsk, she's fast"
Pheonix: "nope, your just slow"
d*mn, she's not slowing down, wait a sec, she said something to me earlier, she said that my ability wont work on her... what ability is she talking about anyway? wait, now that i notice it... it seems time is not following my command, looks pretty bad, im on a pinch.
as i confusely think of a way to beat this girl, i felt grinding pain on my right shoulder
...
..
.
well, i guess she got me... ah, it hurts... anyways, i dont have time to worry about myself now, im on complete disadvantage here, i have to save the girl with a unique uniform no matter what... but what can i do? ah i know, though there is no other way... I HAVE TO RUN!!
i step back and put the girl with a unique uniform on my back

Pheonix: "what are you doing?"
Me: "trying to be cool"
as i finished putting her on my back... i ran as fast as i can

Pheonix: "what the? you cant escape me" *chase*
Me: "of course i can!"
and i run and she chase us until afternoon, well, too bad for her, im good at physical activities... just not look like it, anyways, i manage to lost her.
i lay her in one of the bench at the park, but seriously, her wounds are d*mn fatal... i should give first aid at least then i will call an ambulance... hmm, nice idea
she have a deep cut between her collar bones... ugh... well, i guess she's wearing a bra, crap, i forgot im on the park, well, whatever, just strip her strip her.
i tear my green hankerchief to make it long and tie it on her wound... at least this would stop the bleeding. she also have a deep wound in her left waist, hmm, i tear half of my tshirt (yes, i wear tshirt underneath my uniform) and tie it on her wound... now complete...
i should call the ambulance.
but while i dial it on my cellular phone, two girls approach me, man they resemble each other, twins maybe?, they also wear the same uniform as this girl... classmates maybe?

Girl1: "you must"
Girl2: "be taurus"
Me: "eh? what are you talking about?"
May: "im May"
Claire: "and im claire"
May and Claire: "nice to meet you taurus"
Me: "uhm, like i said, i dont know what your talking about"
May: "we've been investigating you"
Claire: "for a long time now
May: "anyways, we want to"
Claire: "take back suzi"
Me: "Suzi?"
May: "we can treat her"
Claire: "wounds better"
suzi? must be the name of this wounded girl

May: "by the way, we are accomplices"
Claire: "of suzi so you can trust us"
Me: "ah sure, here, take her"
May: "thank"
Claire: "you"
and two girls leave with suzi... and im left alone.
...
..
.
and while walking out of the park, i felt a grinding pain on my right shoulder... ah, i have i wound in there, ah well, if i go back now on this state it will be a big commotion... might as well cover this...
...
..
.
im gone to the public toilet, and tear a large portion of my tshirt, whew, its small now, ah well, i will throw it after i go home... i tie it on my shoulder and wash my uniform, since the blood stained some part of it... well, that should do it, there is still some red parts but you can hardly notice it...
...
..
.
i head back to the school since lunch time is already over, now its time for second half

Hart: "yo, where were you?"
Me: "just taking a walk"
Hart "whoah dude, thats a long walk, anyways, welcome back"
Me: "heh, sure"
and like always, i spend the entire school day sleeping, then, after school...

Me: "yo jamie, lets go home together xD "
Jamie: "ah sorry, i have something to do, please go on ahead"
Kana: "ah, there he is, heya teds, we're going to the international bookstore to buy a map for history class, wanna tag along?"
Jamie: "you should go with them brother, its rare for you to play with them anyways"
Me: ...
Hart: "yo, hurry"
Me: "ah, sure, count me in!"
Kana: "then come on"
Jamie: "take care brother"
Me: "sure, you too"
and jamie head back to our classroom, as for me, i take a trip with kana and hart, my usual buddies.
...
..
.

Me: "eh?"
i feel like someone is watching me, man im so popular

boy with a toy sword: ...
whoah, that person creeps me out, he's also glaring at me, what did i do?

Hart: "dude, that guy is staring at you"
Kana: "dont state the obvious hart"
Hart: "did you do something again?"
Me: "again? you said it like im doing it everyday"
Hart: "whatever, that guy sure is angry at you"
Me: "just ignore him"
and we ignore the boy with a toy sword

Kana: "by the way teds"
Me: "yes?"
Kana: "where are your things?"
Me: ...
hart: "yeah dude, your carrying nothing except for your uniform"
Me: "oh crap!"
kana: "oh crap?"
me: "i forgot it in our classroom!"
yeah im not lying, i totally forgot about my things since im thinking all day about suzi

hart: "dude, thats beyong idiocy"
me: "yeah i know, so you guys go on ahead, i'll buy it myself later"
hart: "sure dude, take care"
me: "yeah, sorry guys"
man, im an idiot
...
..
.

Me: "somehow i made it back to my school, and yay, its still open, gotta hurry"
but its not easy... the classroom is somewhat color red, and yes, im not kidding, the atmosphere is color red or im just hallucinating, anyways this place is somewhat scary... like i care xD
i somehow made it to the classroom... as i grab the knob, my 5 senses is tingling, i mean is saying that i should run... but i dont want to leave my things here.
...
..
.
after some thought, i decided to turn the knob and enter the abyss...
...
..
.
there i saw a girl, holding a knife, her hands are covered with blood, below her, two animal looking creature and a body of a man.
the girl notice my existence and look back at me... i remember this feeling, yes, the same feeling i felt when i saw my sister at the abandoned factory, and the scene repeated infront of me.
my sister's bloodstained hand try to reach out, but my natural reaction is...
i step back, raise my guard, and wish that time will slow down... and seemed that she's affected, i charge into her, but the two looking animals pinned me on the ground, whoah their claws sure hurts

Jamie: "you saw me again"
Me: "well, yeah, sorry"
Jamie: "i honestly dont want you to see me in this state"
Me: "well, i somehow forgot my things and im here to get them"
Jamie: "ah, im sorry that im restraining you"
yeah you should be

Me: "no... its fine"
Jamie: ...
Me: ...
...
..
.
man, this is iritating

Me: "uhm, jamie, tell this guys to free me, somehow, their claws hurts"
Jamie: "eh? ah sorry"
yay, im free, man it sure hurts, im certain it will leave a wound, i should check it later

Jamie: "brother, do you want to know about my ability?"
Me: "not really, rather, im more afraid to know it than eager"
Jamie: "i see"
Me: "though im sure its something connected in whats going on around us, i know you know it"
Jamie: "well, yes, is there some other people call you taurus?"
Me: "yeah, what about it?"
Jamie: "actually, it was your zodiac spirit, mine is called cassiopeia"
Me: "eh? where did you get that"
Jamie: "a man told me about it"
Me: "when?"
Jamie: "during our school trip last year"
Me: "ah, yeah, you got seperated so i dont know where are you"
Jamie: "yes, brother's ability is something to do with time control right?"
Me: "eh?"
Jamie: "you noticed it earlier, my ability is that i can call demons and make the impossible possible"
Me: "whoah, thats big thing"
Jamie: "well yeah, though there is a condition"
Me: "eh? what condition?"
Jamie: "i must consume a soul every two days"
Me: "what the?"
Jamie: "well yeah, i know its bad... but if i dont, i will lose control"
Me: "whoah dear sister, that wont do, it will be bad if you run berserk in town"
Jamie: "yes, thats why..." *tears flowing*
Me: "ah... i see, well, i guess i cant blame you, me too, somehow when i use my time control whatever, i get hungry"
Jamie: "hehe, yours are funny" *tears flowing*
Me: "heh, i guess so stop crying" *put one hand on jamie's head and pat her*
Jamie: "ehehe, i like it when you do this to me"
Me: "really? you should say so, i will pat your head you whenever you want"
Jamie: "ahahaha, thanks brother"
Me: "ahaha, sure, so let me get my things and go home"
Jamie: "OK"
man, thats a complete shocking confession, i dont know im taurus, my zodiac sign is not even taurus, what the hell, well, when i look at the body, its gone, where did it go?
we manage to go home and eat our dinner...
...
..
.
well, im tired, too much stress, somehow, i feel that tomorrow will be a long day, so i should rest early, but seriously, im confuse about this zodiac spirit thing, i should ask may and claire tommorow... if i happen to meet them... i hope so.
*knock knock*
well, the door is making noise, and i know who it is

Me: "jamie? what? need something?"
Jamie: ...
Me: "jamie?"
Jamie: "uhm, no, i just want to say sweetdreams"
Me: "eh? sure, you too, goodnight"
Jamie: "goodnight too brother"

Special Chapter
"Another Prologue"
-Saturday-

I can hear some birds chirping and vehicles passing, i check the clock, twenty seven minutes past five, it seems i wake up before the alarm. i stand up, fix my bed and head to the bathroom. i wash my face, brush my teeth and fix my hair, daily routine never change...
before i head down, i check on my brother.

Me: *whisper* "excuse me? brother? awake already?"
i slowly open his door and sneak in... and he's sleeping soundly... i guess he stayed late at night yesterday... again.

Me: *whisper* "hello sleepy head"
Teds: "mmhhmm"
Me: *whisper* "hehehe, your cute"
i poke his face and stare at his sleeping face for a while, then i leave his room trying to make no sound. i head to kichen and prepare some breakfast... a quick one would do. our fridge is empty... hmm, ah this monday will be the start of new sem, i guess i overlooked that one and forgot to buy new groceries, ah well, we'll settle on bread and coffee for now, im sure brother wont mind.
i finished the preparations and wait for brother to wake up, i really like this moment of peace. im drinking coffee when brother woke up.

Me: "goodmorning brother"
Teds: "morning, man i had a worst nightmare last night"
Me: "again? brother should we consult a doctor? its going on for months now?"
Teds: "no im fine... more importantly? breakfast?"
Me: "here?"
Teds: "uhm?"
Me: "i forgot to fill our fridge so there's nothing there, sorry"
Teds: *sigh* " cant be helped, thanks for the food"
Brother and i eat our breakfast together, brother is telling me about his dream last night, actually, im not listening, i just like it when he talks to me.
the sweet and sour smell of coffee, the soft taste of bread, and the warm voice of my brother.

"i wish this peaceful days will last"

Teds: "hey, are you listening?"
Me: "eh? ah yes? what it is?"
he caught me staring at him...

Teds: "im asking when your refilling our fridge"
Me: "hmm, when its lunchtime, its still too early"
Teds: "i see, well im done, you wash the dishes"
Me: "eh? how about you?"
Teds: "im playing" *thumbs up*
ah geez, and he said he'll do the dishes yesterday. ah well.
as he told me, i wash the dishes. after i finish i head back to the living room to join my brother.

Me: "ah! your playing grenade chase again!"
Teds: "yes i am"
Me: "at least help me"
Teds: "im helping you by staying out of your way"
Me: "thats not what i mean"
Teds: "so, what it is?"
Me: "uhh... nevermind"
well, it looks like im doing all this by myself. I check out the freezer and look for what is missing and list it down for reference later. then i sit on the sofa watching my brother play.
...
..
.

Teds: "hey jamie, look at this, earial combo grab!"
i dont know you can combo in the air in grenade chase

Teds: "eat this, Super Ultra Wonderful Maximum Eccentric Grande Hyper Wonderful Sweet Time Service Mighty Slash!"
i really like his unique naming sense

Teds: "hahaha, i win again!"
yeah right.

Teds: "heh, no one cant beat me"
even a god can be beaten, as said by the famous straw-hat pirate.
actually, im not really interested in grenade chase itself. i just like to watch my brother play, since when he play, he always make that funny expressions.
i just past the time doing that, actually, i just love staring at his face.
...
..
.
three minutes past twelve, my brother is still playing, i wonder why he can last for almost seven hours sitting doing the same routine everyday. hmm, ok not everyday.

Me: "brother, im going to fill our fridge, you have anything you want my to buy on the way?"
Teds: "eh? wait a sec, leme finish this match"
...
..
.

Teds: "you were saying?"
Me: "i said if you have something you want me to buy on my way to the groceries?"
Teds: "nothing really, but i want fried chicken for dinner"
Me: "hey, its still lunchtime, dont go ahea-"
Teds: "hey its fine, i know you will make a wonderful lunch" *smiles*
Me: ...
Teds: "so?"
Me: "ok, if you say so, then, im leaving now"
Teds: "sure, take care... or do you want me to come along?"
Me: "really? then please-"
Teds: "on second thought i cant, im playing"
Me: ...
Teds: "mm? what it is?"
Me: "nevermind, im leaving"
Teds: "sure, take care... or maybe i should escort you to the intersection"
Me: "really? then please-"
Teds: "on second thought i cant, im playing"
Me: ...
Teds: "mm? what it is?"
Me: "nevermind, im leaving"
Teds: "sure, take care... or not, i remember im buying a new ballpen"
Me: "really? then can you go-"
Teds: "on second thought i cant, im playing"
Me: ...
Teds: "mm? what it is?"
Me: "nevermind, im leaving"
Teds: "sure, take care"
Me: ...
Teds: ...
Me: ...
Teds: ...
Me: ...
Teds: "i thought you were leaving?"
Me: "yes i am"
Teds: ...
Me: ...
Teds: "ugh... why are you still here?"
Me: ...
Teds: "mm?" *tilts head*
Me: "nevermind"
with that, i head outside for good, he really know how to play around... and here i am... what am i expecting anyway? he's that kind of person and yet...

Me: *sigh*
Girl: "they say if you sigh, half of your happiness is going away"
Me: "whoah! ah!... eh?"
geez, that startled me, while waiting for the lights to change, a girl on my side suddenly spoke to me. she's a very small little girl, her height is like on a grade 4 elementary student, her hair is long and its almost touching the ground, and her face is emotionless... like a doll. i tried to start a conversation"

Me: "uhm, hello little girl"
Girl: "im not a little girl"
Me: "eh? ah, i see, well, then, hello... uhm?"
Iris: "Iris"
Me: "ah? iris? what a cute name, im jamie, nice to meet you iris"
Iris: *nod*
her name is cute, and her face is also cute, i think she's a princess? or not, there arent any castles around here. while im thinking about castles, the lights turn green and people i dont know started walking.

Iris: *points*
Me: "eh? your going that way?"
Iris: *nod*
Me: "i see, then im going this way, bye bye" *wave*
Iris: "bye"
she's really pretty, i wonder what school she's attending to. i walk above the stone pavement, and the air feels cool, reminding me that its the middle of spring, faces i dont know passing by, some girls chatting about something, some boys heading towards somewhere. and while walking idly, i saw hart... and kana

Hart: "oh, if it isnt little sister"
Me: "please dont call me little sister"
Hart: "hey comeon, whats wrong with calling you little sister"
Me: "many, ah by the way, let me borrow you for a bit"
Hart: "sure?"
i pull hart away from kana so that she wont hear us and whisper to him

Me: "are you and kana going out?"
Hart: "going out?"
Me: "in a relationship?"
Hart: ...
Me: ...
Hart: "your kidding?"
Me: "no"
Hart: ...
Me: ...
Hart: "EH!? where that came from?"
Me: "late reaction... you see, a boy and a girl, walking together in the shopping district, that was called date"
Hart: "EH!? really? i didnt know that, thank you, i learned an important thing today teacher little sister"
Me: "the little sister is still there"
Hart: "its fine, let it down" *laugh*
Me: "whatever... so, answer me, are you two going out?-"
Hart: "no"
Me: "eh? immediate answer, so, i noticed you two are together lately, also, you're not hanging out with my brother that much this past few days"
Hart: "ah... i see, well, we're planning something for your brother"
Me: "and what was that?"
Hart: "ahaha, you're overprotective as usual, dont worry, we wont harm him, as if we can" *laugh*
Me: "thats not what i mean, what i mean is-"
Hart: "no, we know your weakness, and besides, you will surely tell him if he ask, and we all know that he's curiousty exceeds far more than a human can handle"
Me: "thats kind of harsh"
Hart: "ahaha" *laughs*
Me: "fine i wont ask anymore, you can go back now"
Hart: "sure..."
hart walk back to kana and together, they walk away from me
...

Hart: "ah!, wait a sec kana... hey! little sister!"
hart shouts loud, it irritates me whenever he calls me that, i dont want any trouble so i turn my head to him to hear him out. he runs to me and speak

Hart: "by the way, where's your brother?"
Me: "eh? uhm... he's playing grenade chase... i think?"
Hart: "i see, when you go home, tell him we're going to be late and join him later"
Me: "sure, i'll pass the message"
Hart: "many thanks little sister"
hart run back to kana and together, they fade away from my sight. i head to the small convenience store and buy some meats, veggies and canned... eh? isnt that iris?
a small head is swimming in the sea of people, i think she's in trouble. i try to pull her back from the sea of unknown faces like a lifeguard saving a drowning person.
and after a few pullings, i manage to free her.

Me: "fuwah..."
Iris: ...
Me: "wew, thats dangerious iris, a little girl like you shouldnt-"
Iris: "im not a little girl"
Me: "eh?...ok?... so, what're you doing there?"
Iris: ...
Me: "uhm... you dont have to tell me if you dont want to"
Iris: *grab*
when i try to walk away, iris grab the hem of my skirt, and points at the sea of people.

Iris: "there's a sale on cup noodles"
Me: "eh?"
Iris: ...
Me: "so... you're planning on eating cup noodles today?... just cup noodles?"
Iris: "we dont have money"
Me: "i see... hmm..."
so much for my first impression...

Iris: "yes i know, we're just poor, but i have enough money for five cup noodles"
Me: "i see...hmm, hey, do you mind if you come to my house with me?"
Iris: "eh? no i dont... is it fine?"
Me: "of course, then lets!"
i finished my mission and head back to home with iris, along the way, she seems unsteady... rather, is she nervous? haha, thats cute.
...
..
.
we arrive at destination and i turn the knob... the door is lock? maybe brother head out for a bit, hmm, what a waste that he wont meet iris, ah well, i summoned the key from my pocket and it appear to my hand, i turn the knob and open the door... somehow, the house feel lonely without him, ah well, i invite iris to go inside.

Iris: ...
Me: "uhm... iris?"
Iris: "i shouldnt go here after all" *try to leave*
Me: *grab iris's hand* "eh? whats wrong?"
Iris: ...
Me: "iris?"
Iris: "your house is clean"
Me: "eh?" *looks around* "yes it does?"
Iris: "my feet are dirty, it would just be a bother if i come in"
Me: "eh?"
now that she mentions it, her red dress is covered with stains, her feet is wearing worned out sleepers and its kind of dirty, her hands is clean, but the burn marks is obvious... eh? burn marks?

Me: "uhm... iris?"
Iris: *try to leave*
Me: "AH! wait!" *grab iris's hand* "its fine really, im sure my brother wont mind, and besides, i like cleaning, so please?"
iris stay at her position without moving for a while... then she speak

Iris: "fine"
Me: "then, will you come in?"
Iris: *nod*
we head to the living room, as she said, she's making black trail along her path of walking, ahaha, i guess i wont be busy today.

Me: "ah iris, sit there"
Iris: *nod*
i go to the bathroom and check if there were water, and i trot back to iris.

Me: "hey iris, you can use our bathroom to take a bath"
Iris: "eh? ah no, i dont want to bother you too much"
Me: "no its fine, dont worry about it, be selfish once in a while, come on"
i push iris against her will to our bathroom and pull her inside

Iris: "whoah... i didnt know your were rich"
Me: "ahaha, no we're not" *wry smile*
iris stare at awe on our bathroom, is our bathroom really that awesome?

Me: "anyways, what are you waiting for, you can use the shower if you want"
Iris: "is it really fine?"
Me: "yeah it is, so, give me now your clothes so that i can wash them, i'll give you a spare change later"
Iris: *nod*
iris took off her cloths and enter the bathroom slowly, i closed the door so that she can take a bath in peace, then iris suddenly spoke behind the door

Iris: "its been a while, the last time a take a bath was... i think last week?"
Me: "eh?"
Iris: "yes, in the river near the site"
the site, the place where the great fire had struck, they call it the site in short for "the site of our bad memories". me and my brother were also one of the victims. anyways, what a shock, its been that long!? im surprise she manage to survive without taking a bath... i mean, i cant take that...

Me: "i see, well, enjoy your bath, dont stay too long ok?"
Iris: "OK"
i leave iris alone and wash her clothes, after the washing machine had finished its job, i grab out the cloths and put it on the dryer, while waiting for it, i call sherly, my classmate and also best friend.

Me: "hey sherly, what's your doing?"
Sherly: "eh? hmm, im watching TV, what's up?"
Me: "can you come here? im cooking and i somehow... need your help"
Sherly: "hmm, sure, but why? i thought you want to cook for your brother yourself?"
Me: "well, yes... ah! just comeover"
Sherly: "heh, sure, then im going to jet there!" *line cut off*
well, i guess sherly would take a while before arriving here, i go upstairs and head to my room. opened my cabinet and grab a skirt and tshirt that i think will fit iris, i head down to the bathroom and talk to her.

Me: "iris?"
Iris: "yes?"
Me: "i'l leave it here, OK?"
Iris: "ok"
i carefully drop the pair of dress in front of the bathroom door and head to the dryer, its finished, i hang her clothes under the sun then suddenly, the doorbell rang, must be sherly.
...
..
.
i opened the door and there is a familiar face, energetic smile, and a loud voice waving outside a single person.

Sherly: "GOODMORNING!"
Me: "your aware that its afternoon now?"
Sherly: "actually, not. anyways, whats up?"
Me: "more importantly, what's in the bag?"
Sherly is lifting a bag big enough to fit a couple of chickens

Sherly: "eggs"
a simple answer

Me: ...
Sherly: ...
Me: "uhm... eggs?"
Sherly: "yes eggs"
Me: "why eggs?"
Sherly: "i dont know, i just thought that you need eggs"
Me: "o-okay?... sorry for the trouble"
ignoring the wierdness, i invite sherly inside and we both head towards the kitchen

Me: "uhm... so, what's our menu?"
Sherly: "eh? you didnt give it a thought?"
Me: "actually, not, im kind of busy"
Sherly: "i see, well fret not, consider yourself lucky"
Me: "uhm... why?"
Sherly: "because while walking here, i already think about it"
Me: "i see... so what's our menu"
Sherly: "lets see... fried egg, boiled egg, egg omelet scrambled egg, egg rice and egg salad"
Me: "uhm... sherly? there is something wrong with the menu, and they all have alot in common"
Sherly: "oh really? what it is?"
Me: "well, whatever, lets just finish this quick"
Sherly: "heh, sure, ah by the way"
while i was cracking the eggs brought to you by sherly, she spoke in low tone"

Sherly: "i saw your brother together with kana and hart earlier"
Me: "ah i see..."
Sherly: "so... who's in the bathroom?"
Me: "eh? ah!, its iris, my new fried, she's taking a bath now"
Sherly: "hmm, ok... and another one, what's the meaning of that pattern?"
Sherly points at the trail marks left by iris.

Me: "ah, dont mind that, ill clean that later"
Sherly: "ok, i dont have anything to ask... so lets start!"
Me: "so, we still havent started until now" *wry smile*
sherly and i prepared the egg menu's, halfway complete, iris had finished her bath and walk towards us"

Iris: *grabs my apron* "what're you doing?"
Me: "ah, we're cooking, we're almost finish, you can wait at the table"
Iris: *nod*
Sherly: "eh, she's iris, she's cute, then lets finish this so that we can chat!"
sherly fasten her pace so that she can abuse- i mean talk to iris. i take my time cooking since its not my style.
.....
....
...
..
.

Sherly: "DONE!"
sherly and i brought the egg menus to the table, iris looks in awe by the feast infront of her. after placing all the dishes, we sit down and eat.

Sherly: "heh, hi iris, im sherly, nice to meet you"
Iris: *nod*
Sherly: "ahaha, you're cute, i want to bring you home"
Iris: *shakes head*
Sherly: "ahaha, i know, im just joking"
Me: "anyways, iris, where do you live?"
Iris: "eh?... ahm... below the bridge at the end of downtown"
Me: "eh? you lived there? why?"
Iris: "because the river is near, i can do my laundry and bath easily, and its convinient"
Me: "thats not what i mean, do you have a home"
Iris: "home? we dont have one"
Me: "ah, i see... sorry for asking"
Iris: *shakes head*
Me: ...
Sherly: "wait, you said 'we'? you have someone beside you living there?"
Iris: "yes, i live there with my brother"
Me: "eh, you have a brother, you maybe love him a lot... right?"
Iris: "no"
Me: "eh? why, you're planning on buying five cup noodles right? isnt that for you and your brother?"
Iris: "no, its only for me"
Sherly: "oh, so you dont want to share huh"
Iris: *nod*
Me: "what a shame, our brother must be lonely since you hate him"
Iris: "no... im sure he's happy right now... i hate him"
Sherly: "wow, i can feel pure hatred"
Iris: "brother killed our parents"
Sherly: "wha-?"
Me: "eh-?"
sherly and i both have the same reaction. and then silince invaded the room. iris continue her business of eating.
...
..
.

Iris: "thanks for the food"
before i know it, iris is finish eating her portion and she change into her original dress almost instantly, or i just didnt notice it

Me: "eh? your leaving?"
Iris: *nod*
Me: "i see, sorry about earlier"
Iris: *shakes head* "its fine, can i come over again, some other time?"
Me: "sure, you're always welcome here"
Iris: "i see, then bye" *waves hand*
Sherly: "see yah"
Me: "bye bye"
...
..
.

Sherly: "there she goes"
Me: "hmm, are you also going home?"
Sherly: "ah yes, its getting late, but before that"
Me: "before that?"
Sherly: "lets clean that"
Me: "ah! ahah, your right, then lets"
sherly and i clean the house again, after that, we leave the house, i escort sherly until the intersection, sherly wave goodbye to me as she walk away. then suddenly, i feel a bloodlust creeping inside my body...

Me: "ugh... gaaah... n-no... not again..."
a rotating darkness torture my body as the severe bloodlust creeps inside my head, banging to get outside.
it continue to assault my heart, as if punishing a kid for her bad doings. i stagger on the walls and walk towards the alleyway, i must endure this.
...
..
.
i manage to hide behind the trashbin and curl myself over. holding the endless pain inside, an outsider approach me, not knowing what is really happening.


"no-o... do-nt com-e... an-ny... clo-ser"
i open my mouth but words wont come out.


"p-please... st-ay... a-away"
i plead to the outsider on my mind... but it ignores my wish and walk closer.

Man: "hey, are you OK?"
i turn around my head. suddenly, the door of darkness opened its mouth behind me, severral deformed arms grab the man and pull the outsider into the never ending abyss, the door dont even give the outsider the chance to scream, it pulled him perfectly and steady. then the door close and silence surround the alleyway.


"why? he's just trying to help?"
i ask the darkness inside me


...
no one answer


"its always like this"

...

"then, just answer this question, will you also eat my brother one day?"

"i wont"

"i see."
i stopped asking since i know its meaningless. i stand up and head home.
...
..
.

Teds: "yo jamie- whoa what happen?"
Me: "eh? ah, i trip over while running here, haha, sorry"
my clothes is in the state of mess when i get home, i guess it came from the trashbin

Teds: "wew, wait a sec, why are you running?"
Me: "ah, well you see, its kind of late, and i also have to make dinner"
Teds: "hmm, i see, just be careful next time"
Me: "i will"
Teds: "ah by the way, there's a mountain of egg dishes and there, lets just heat it up"
Me: "ah yes sure"
brother didnt even ask where it came from. we eat together at the living room, my brother said that he goes to aunty lhie, she's been taking care of us ever since the fire broke but, she knows my secret, aunty lhie rarely come here, i dont know why though, she also living near here. brother also said that i took my time so he head outside and meet with hart and kana, they eat at the family restaurant and played grenade chase together... typical normal day for him.
i took a bath and get ready for bed. today, i made a new friend, her name is iris. i wrote that to my diary and kill the light. but before i sleep, i head towards my brother's room and say goodnight to him... sorry, its my habit.
i ley on my bed and surrender to the drowseness. tomorrow, we will visit our parents.
...
..
.
before the dreamworld consume my remaining conciousness, i wish for the darkness inside me that she wont eat my brother someday.

-Thursday-
-Part 1-

somehow when i woke up, its raining, its not that strong but you still need an umbrella, anyways, goodmorning my dear readers, today is thursday and... i feel like today will be a long day.
we eat our breakfast and head outside, or before i forgot, i brought an umbrella for emergency purpose, and as we head outside, a girl is waiting at the door, protected by her purple umbrella, she is leaning at the stone wall. her hair dance as she turn around and notice our arrival, her mallow-like lips smile and her eyes glitter like the morning dew.

Suzi: "goodmorning, taurus and cassiopeia"
its suzi, the girl i saved (supposed to be) yesterday

Me: "yo"
Jamie: "eh? who is she brother?, she knows im cassiopeia?"
Me: "well, its kind of long"
Suzi: "let me taurus"
Me: "ah, sure?"
Suzi: "so, lets chat while walking"
and we leave the house, jamie and me are sharing the same umbrella (not like i forgot mine, its just a bother to take it off)

Suzi: "So, ask me anything cassiopeia! i'l answer it" *smile*
Jamie: "your three size"
Suzi: "eh?" *wry smile*
Jamie: "how did you know about us? and just call me by my name"
Suzi: "im calling you by your name"
Jamie: "call me by my given name"
Suzi: "ahaha, sure"
my sister looks like on the bad mood, i wonder why

Jamie: "so? how did you know about us?"
Suzi: "i've been investigating you two"
what?

Jamie: "eh?" *curious face*
Suzi: "well, since you two are the only untainted spirits, the queen want you two to stay the way you are and not be involve on our war"
Me: "war? what war?"
Suzi: "the king wants to collect all the spirits to create a powerful army and become a immortal dictator, well, the queen doesnt want that so she's against it"
Jamie: "what king? what queen?"
Suzi: "our queen, catherine, is the queen of the zodiac spirits and the king, arthur, is the king of the zodiac spirits, and we are already on war for almost 5 years now"
Me: "so, you were observing us because we're not tainted?"
Suzi: "yes, means the king is still oblivious on the existence of taurus and cassiopeia and still havent got his hands on you two"
Me: "means you want us to keep a low profile?"
Suzi: "well, not really, but i guess its better that way"
Me: "i see, i still have a lot of questions" *scratch head*
Suzi: "you can visit our queen if you want"
Me: "eh? is it fine?"
Suzi: "yes, after all, you save me didnt you?"
Me: "eh?"
Suzi: "may and claire told me about it"
Me: "i see, well, but i didnt do anything"
Suzi: "no, if its not you, im dead now for sure"
Jamie: ...
Me: "ahaha, i see" *wry smile*
Suzi: "thats why i have to return the favor... so when?"
Me: "hmm, after school, meet me at the park"
Jamie: ...
Suzi: "sure"
Me: "ah, thanks for telling us suzi"
Suzi: "its fine, see you later
Me: "and by the way, you can also call me by my given name"
Suzi: "and you should do the same"
Me: "my pleasure suzi"
Suzi: *smiles* "then, see you later teds, bye bye jamie"
i stare at suzi's retreating figure until its gone

Jamie: "lets go brother"
Me: "ah, ok"
we arrive at the campus and we seperated by the 2nd floor stairs, my classroom is on the 3rd floor and jamie is on the 2nd, but, as my classroom is on sight, i felt a strong presense, i follow it and saw a very small little girl, her height is like on a grade 4 elementary student, her hair is long and its almost touching the ground, her angry expression is telling me that she's dissatisfied about something. her right hand move then point at someone... she's pointing at me, her lips move, i cant hear what she's saying because of the distance but somehow im able to read her lip movement.



"...beware...he...is...coming...to...kill...you...a nd...take...your...sister...away..."

then she walk away... what the hell was that for?
i twist the door knob and opened the door, hart and kana greet me

Hart: "yo, your early again"
Me: "well yeah"
Kana: "did you manage to get back your things?"
Me: "ah yes"
Hart: "good, but that really surprise me, you suddenly run off, anyways, look at my map its small but it had all the province on the back, haha, pretty cool"
Me: "oh sh*t, i forgot to buy one" *facepalm*
Hart: "whoah dude, thats fine, you cannot borrow mine"
Me: "in this situation isnt what you supposed to say is 'you can borrow mine' right?"
Hart: "no cant do, this is mine and i really need this"
Kana: "you can borrow mine"
Me: "thanks kana, your a life saver"
Kana: "ahaha" *forced smile*
Hart: "yes, kana is kind, she'll be a great wife someday"
Kana: *glare at hart*
Hart: "ok, i'll shut up
Me: "ahaha, then i better go back to my seat"
Kana: "wait a second teds"
Me: "yes?"
kana leans on my ear and whisper

Kana: "did you know a girl on saint spring academy?"
Me: "yes i do"
eh? she knows suzi?

Kana: "its better if you dont get involve with her, it will just bring you sadness and misery"
Me: "what do you mean?"
Kana: "just remember, i warned you"
Me: "what?"
after that, kana leave the classroom, what the hell is going on?, i go to my seat and prepare my books.
but as i place my books on my desk, something fall, its an envelope, a pink cute envelope with cute decorations, i flip and read the words on the back.



To Teds


that two words strike something on my heart... IS THIS A LOVE LETTER!?
for the 15 years i lived on this world, i never received a love letter, ever in my life, i tried to sniff the envelope and it smell... sweet... hah, i want to read it now, but i have to consider the atmosphere, if i read it now, it will be a big news to all of my fans... not that i have one of course.
no wait, its still early for first period to start, i have some time left, i have to do this, it will be rude to the girl who wrote this if i dont read it... yes, i must read it, its my duty, my mission as a man...
i go outside the classroom, head to the boys toilet, entered the second cubicle, sit on the tub, opened the envelope, took out the letter, unfold the letter, and read it, here's what inside


Goodday sir teds, im always looking at you and i always thought you were cool
but im really sorry for this letter
i know your confuse
but please can you listen to me?
i want to tell you my feelings
please go to the ruined gate after school


well, that ends it... by the way, the ruined gate is a gate several meters before entering the abandoned factory, well, i dont know why that place but oh well, im too happy right now.
...
..
.
im really in a good mood today, oh i saw kana walking toward the classroom, i should say hi to her.

Me: "goodmorning my dear friend Kana"
Kana: "eh? ah, goodmorning too" *enter classroom"
Me: *inhale* *exhale* "the weaher is really great today"
Kana: "what? ah yeah, i think it will rain later" *gone back to seat*
Hart: "yo whats up?"
Me: "ah, goodmorning my dear friend Hart"
Hart: "what? are you gone nuts?"
Me: "no, but please remember my dear friend, after the harsh winter, there will always be a warm spring, so lets move forward and move on to life"
Hart: "hah!? what the hell are you talking about?"
Me: "sad... its too sad my dear friend, you will never understand what love is"
Hart: "love?"
Kana: "uhm, you should take the day off"
Me: "no need, im perfectly healthy, as you can see" *spins around*
Hart: "did he ate a strange mushroom or something?"
Kana: "i have no idea"
Me: "ahahaha!!... ahahaha!!" *spinning around*
Jamie: "brother, someone is... wha? what happened to my brother?"
Kana: "ah jamie, there you are, can you do something about that guy?"
Jamie: "what happen?"
Kana: "dont know, he just suddenly..."
Hart: "he had gone nuts, take him to the hospital"
Me: "oh, there you are my cute lovely sister"
Jamie: "eh? me? cute?"
Me: "yes, your cuteness overpass the boundary of being cute, and your pretty face is so pretty it will embarassed all the stars in the night sky"
Jamie: "did he ate a strange mushroom or something?"
Hart: "thats our line, whats your breakfast this morning?"
Jamie: "uhm, just normal, ah brother, there is someone waiting for you at the gate"
Me: "ah, its hard to be popular"
Jamie: "its suzi"
Me: "she just cant resist me"
Kana: ...
Hart: "yo kana, whats with the face? and who's suzi?"
Jamie: "a friend of him"
Hart: "hmm, i see i see..."
i leave the classroom and headed at the gate, i dont know why suzi came here but my five senses is telling me that it means trouble.
i saw her and wave to her, hmm, she's not smiling, i wonder what's wrong.

Me: "yo, why the sudden visit?"
Suzi: "first, can you please erase that grin on your face"
Me: "why? its cool"
Suzi: "its irritating"
i guess she's suddenly on a bad mood, well, lets get serious

Me: "fine, so... what's up?" *change face*
Suzi: "the queen send me here, someone is going to kill you and take jamie away"
Me: "oh, now that i remember, someone already told me that"
Suzi: "yeah, i heard aries is already in here"
Me: "aries?"
Suzi: "she's not that social, but i can guarantee you that she's strong"
Me: "hmm, i see" *bell rings*
Suzi: "time's up, go now, i'l be waiting here"
Me: "sure, then, see yah later"
Suzi: "wait"
Me: "what?"
Suzi: "take care"
Me: "heh, i wont die that easily"
Suzi: "i hope so"
after that, i head back to the classroom, 1st period already started by the time i arrive, well, there still an issue about the world map, ah well, lets leave it like that and forget about things, or not, i will listen just this once.
...
..
.
school ended fast. and now, its after school...
heh, hehe, hehehehehe
please wait for me, im coming now my sweet princess.
...
..
.
im grinning while walking down the school hallway, hey, i cant helped it, huh? isnt it ren who's waiting at the end of stairs? what he wants? well, i guess its nothing to do with me, just ignore him.

Ren: "wait teds"
Me: "what?"
ah, i guess its something to do with me... what the hell, and im kind of busy now, i face him with an iritated face but ren didnt budge

Ren: "where are you going"
Me: "none of your business"
Ren: "come follow me for a while"
Me: "no"
Ren: "do it"
Me: "why in the world would i follow you?"
Ren: ...
Me: "thats it, im out of here"
but suddenly, i felt a strong presense... whats this? its the same feeling i feel when i saw jamie at the abandoned factory... dont tell me ren also had an spirit? what the!? and its kind of strong... i dont like this feeling.

Ren: "follow me, i just want to talk"
well, i guess a minute is fine, i decided to follow ren.
...
..
.
he leads me at the back of school auditorium, well, this place is perfect for confessions... eh?

Ren: "today, around 8:06 in the morning, you recieved a love letter..."
Me: "wait a min, dont tell me it was you!?"
Ren: "well, i wont deny that im interested in you, but unfortunately, im not"
Me: "phew, that scares me for a sec"
Ren: "back to the question"
Me: "as expected of the president of school newspaper, you never miss a topic, yes i did"
Ren: "i see, turn it down, dont go"
Me: "what!?"
Ren: "its dangerous"
Me: "heh, so you're one of my fans?"
Ren: "do you even have one?"
Me: "you're the first"
Ren: "i'll take that as a no, well, i dont want to resort to violence but you leave me no choice"
then, a girl suddenly appeared at the back of the mango tree... what the!?

Me: "Lise!?"
Lise: ...
Ren: "let me intruduce myself, im Leo, though i dont really tell anyone about my ability, i'll make an exception... my ability is called puppet mastery"
Me: "judging from the name, you can manipulate someone"
Ren: "yes"
well, base on the zodiac horoscope, leo is the king... wait a min

Me: "are you the king?"
Ren: "no"
i see... so his ability is manipulating... i think its perfect for a leo

Me: "so, you're going to fight me using lise?"
Ren: "dont worry, i will only break your leg so that you cant stand up"
Me: "you know, two versus one is kind of unfair"
Ren: "yes i know, but you have someone right?"
Me: "well, i guess"
then, suzi slowly walks on my left side

Suzi: "oh, its leo, long time no see"
Ren: "im just doing my job"
Suzi: "i see"
then lise suddenly attacked, lise swings her leg and performed a roundhouse kick, i manage to block it and its kind of strong, wait, is lise really this strong?
i guess thats the cue, i pull suzi and whispered to her ear

Me: "suzi, let me talk to you"
Suzi: "what?"
Me: "please dont hurt lise"
Suzi: "ok"
then, i raise my guard, i put my two fist at eye level and prepare for combat, lise just stand there but she's ready to attack anytime, ren is at the back watching but she's holding a large stick, suzi draw her two rapiers and did her battle stance, we're now ready for battle.
Lise take the first attack, she charge onto me and jump, her golden hair flails the air as she spins several times then performed a drop kick at me, or it should be... i step back knowing what lise will do, but its too late and i felt a heating pain on my stomach... wait, a straight kick? when did she? never mind, she's d*mn strong, wait, why am i fighting lise on the first place? i thought suzi is...
i take a peek at suzi to know what is going on, suzi is exchanging blows against ren, ren is jumping and swaying her long stick to block suzi's fierce attacks, while suzi is waving her right rapier at ren recklessly, if you observe carefully, she's not using her left rapier, instead, she's writing some unknown circles on the ground while pushing ren, hmm, i wonder what she's planning, but i dont have time to worry about them, i still have to fight lise
i immediatly stop the time around lise, i gather all my strength on my right hand and run onto lise's position, i release the gathered energy but lise cancelled the spell and effectively blocked my attack, lise was thrown away a few meters but she's still standing... is lise really this strong before? i didnt know...
lise didnt give me the chance to think, she jumps and fall infront of me, and release a series of infinite blows, both kicks and punches, i raise my two hands to cover my face, but her blows still hurts... while im recieving a never ending combination of attacks, i heard a scream, i turn to the direction of the scream and found ren on the ground, he was covered in blood, suzi is floating in the air, i turn to the wierd circles and saw small tornados in them, i guess she use it to restrain ren's movement and corner him. then lise lose consciousness and fall to the ground, im free now, but my hands still hurt from the earlier attacks.
then, suzi talks to me, still floating.

Suzi: "i forgot to mention, im cancer, i have the ability to control the wind"
Me: "i didnt asked"
Suzi: "but your face says you want to know"
Me: "whatever"
Suzi: "tee hee"
suzi steps down and walk onto me

Suzi: "you have to go, dont make a girl waiting"
Me: "eh?"
then, i suddenly remember i have something to do

Me: "oh shocks! see yah later suzi" *runs*
Suzi: "sure"
i run as fast as i can, well, that surely is a waste of time, as i run to the ruined gate, i passed by hart and kana, kana waved goodbye to me and hart did the same, i nod to them and head to the ruined gate.
...
..
.
i made it but somehow, my five senses is telling me that this place is dangerous. at the site, there was a boy, holding a toy sword, his eyes show nor darkness nor light, more like its cloudy, his wearing simple tshirt and simple bagged jeans, his toy sword somewhat releasing an aura, he sense my existence and turn towards me, he didnt made any facial expression but i can sense that he waited long enough. behind him, is a girl also holding a sword, wait i know this girl, its PHOENIX!.

Phoenix: "hello taurus, long time no see"
me: "what are you doing here?"
Phoenix: "didnt you received my love letter?"
she didnt answer my question but she answered it with another question.

me: "eh?"
Phoenix: "to put it simply, i called you here"
what the!?

Phoenix: *sigh* "i said not to be involved and yet here you are"
Me: "so... you're the one wrote this letter!?"
Phoenix: "well, yes"
Me: "YOU LOVED ME!?"
Phoenix: "of course not"
gah... straight rejection, and she's the one who send me the letter... irony

Phoenix: "hey, dont be depressed, i really want to tell you my feelings"
Me: "what?"
Phoenix: "here it is, please listen carefully"
Me: ...
Phoenix: "do me a favor... die for me will you?"
Me: "wah?"
Phoenix: "shesh, you know this is really troublesome, the king said not to touch you and just kidnap jamie, but i think we have to go through you first"
Me: "... dont"
Phoenix: "dont?"
Me: "DONT BREAK MY HEART THAT EASILY! NOW IM ANGRY!"
Phoenix: "oh good, then you can entertain this guy for a while"
Me: "who is he?"
Phoenix: "oh, i wont say his name but his spirit is orion"
orion... the hunter on the zodiac list...
...
..
.
what the!? i hope he's not what i thought of.

Phoenix: "oh? what's with the face? dont worry, his power is sealed so he's not that strong compare on the past"
me: "i thought the king order you not to touch me"
Phoenix: "well, yes, thats why i cant lay my dirty hands on you, so i asked this guy to kill you instead, dont worry, the king doesnt want to concern himself against this monster so even if he killed you, there will be no consequence"
Me: "i guess such convenience really exist"
she said the king dont want to concern himself against that monster... is he really that strong?
if he really... im in a complete disadvantage here, i dont want to die yet, but... my external HDD wont listen, i guess im really angry, hmm, how can i defeat this monster... rather, i have to know what is his ability first, then i can construct a strategy.
...
..
.
whatever, thinking is not my style, i just have to leave it to myself... il do something if pinch peeks in...
...
..
.
i raise my two fist on chin level so that i can still see him and made some foot rhythms... orion is still standing there almost lifeless, hmph, i certainly cant read this guy... phoenix is just standing at the rear, seems like she's enjoying watching me... whatever, i should focus my concentration on orion.
i grow tired of observing, i stopped the time and i slowly close the gap between us, but... as i inch closer.. a sharp long shard of light suddenly falls from the sky...

Me: "eh?"
where did it came from? it barely touch my shoes, the spear hit the dirt infront of me... grazing a few of my hairs. but whoah, i wonder who the hell throw this one... i almost die, not because of the light... BECAUSE OF A HEART ATTACK!.
well, jokes aside. i have to maintain my cool, if i dont, i will surely lose. but, i guess this guy is really strong, i can feel a very strong power just by standing infront of him.
but, God didnt give me the time to awe. suddenly, a hail of sharp lights rain above me, it got me by surprise but i snap back to reality and immedietly stopped the time...

Me: "whew, barely made it"
the lights stopped in mid air, a few centimeters away from my head... hmm, if you look closely, those are sword looking lights...
i run away from him to avoid the rain of death and return the time to normal.

Phoenix: "hmm... i see, so that was your ability"
Me: ...
Phoenix: "pretty scary... that's what i want to say, but you cant win just by controling time, you know that right?"
well, actually, i dont. orion is still standing there emotionlessly, phoenix words still lingers in my head... can i really win just by controlling time? well, i dont think so, honestly, how do i end up with this pathetic power, i mean, jamie is even stronger than me... i think... i have to do... wait? is that suzi?
...
..
.
suzi is leaning in the abandoned factory walls, she's observing us? if so then at least help me, im dying here, it seems my two opponent still doesnt notice her.
i stopped worrying about suzi and focus my attention to orion, he's ability is warping sword looking lights and throw them into his target, what a convinient ability, know i know why he's the hunter. i felt danger and jump away from my positions, then three sword of light stabbed the ground i was standing earlier, he dont really give the chance to think do he? i dont have time to think, i have to act fast, but what can i do? i cant get near him, even if i stopped... wait a sec... is stopping time all i can do? i hope this will turn out fine
i raise my two fist in chin level and prepare for impact, my plan is to slow the time around me, if i do that, thier sense of time will be slow and i will be fast in their eyes, then i can catch orion off guard.
...
..
.
no more chats, i run and i wish for time slow down, i run as fast as i can, ramming the air around me.
but, as my distance get closer, a spear pin my clothes to the ground and i fell down due to the sudden stopped by the sudden fall of three sword of light.

Me: "aw, hey that hurts"
Phoenix: *pfft*
Me: "DONT LAUGHT!"
i step back and fix the distance between us, now its back like earlier... nothing change huh, man im pathetic. how can i defeat this guy if my ability wont work on him.
i check on suzi, suzi is playing with a small stone, throwing and catching it again, again, and again... she repeat the routine like she's bored... well, she look like it...
...
..
.
wait a sec... the theory of relativity, if i boost the speed of the stone i threw, wont it damage increase? well, lets try it out.
...
..
.
i pick up a stone

Phoenix: "oh? what's your plan?"
Me: "should i tell you?"
Phoenix: "you dont have to"
Me: ...
i hope this will turn out fine. i grab the stone tightly, stand firm, and throw like a pitcher on final match aiming for the golden award. and before the stone escape my grip, i wish for the stone to speed up, rather i wish for its velocity to increase, by doing that, i can increase its damage using the force of wind.
i launch the stone into the air, the stone make a canon like sound, first, it stopped in midair, then it flew into orion in a speed of light. my hand kind of hurt but i ignore it.
the stone flew straight to orion's face... or it should be, it flew into a different direction, heading straight to suzi, oh no...

Me: "Suzi watch out!"
i scream as hard as i can but it seems suzi didnt hear me.

Me: "STOP!!"
the stone head straight to suzi as if it didnt hear me, as if provoking me, saying im weak, well, i cant deny that.
the stone hit the abandoned factory and make a exploding sound, the said factory collapse like a sandpaper slowly burning away.
