Volume 1, Chapter 3
"Well, Alec. Let's do this properly now." Yuu said, releasing the blade. Alec smiled. "My pleasure." he said snidely. Miyuki worriedly crawled away, holding her bleeding arm. Yuu launched himself at Alec, bringing his gunblade down. Alec parried, stepping back quickly. They were soon fighting diligently, there swords clanging. Yuu stopped himself mid-swing, confusing Alec, then slammed his fist into Alec's jaw. Alec stumbled back, then lunged again. Alec slid his katana down Yuu's gunblade, pinning it down. Then he himself punched Yuu, stepping on the gunblade. Yuu lost balance and fell back, catching himself and flipping back onto his feet. Now he was weaponless. Alec clutched Yuu's gunblade and threw it into the air. Mika sped past, catching it. She was bleeding, but if she could FLY, then she probably wasn't human either. Mika landed by Alec, cornering Yuu. Yuu gritted his teeth, looking at them back and forth. Miyuki looked for an object so she could possibly help. Nothing. Alec jumped at Yuu, and Yuu stepped back. Soon, Yuu was just dodging and Alec swinging his sword wildly. Mika was now joining, smiling. She was behind Yuu, so he had to sidestep and jump away. Both Mika and Alec flew up to Yuu, slicing at the same time in opposite directions. Yuu was sliced badly on both sides. He crashed downwards, hitting the ground mercilessly. Yuu sat up, wincing, his vision blurry. He was still human, and he would die soon if they managed to slice him as badly again. Yuu staggered upwards, seeing a fist fly at him. Alec cuffed Yuu on the nose, sending Yuu flying. He hit the walls of the ruins, and slumped. Still standing, he looked up again, hazily. Mika and Alec plunged their weapons into Yuu's stomach, side by side, smiling crazily. Yuu coughed blood, shocked, his legs losing strength. He hung by the swords, blood dripping from his mouth, sides, and spurting from his stomach. Yuu felt himself losing consciousness, but Mika pressed her hand into his side, making him jolt with the pain. "Stay with us now." Mika hissed, laughing. Miyuki tackled Mika, and the two went down thrashing. Miyuki had found a rock, knocking Mika out. Miyuki stood shakily, wondering what she had just done. Mika slumped against the boulders, and Alec grabbed Miyuki. "Little—" he started, before Miyuki brought her leg up between his legs. Alec fell over, groaning. "Owww. . .I'll kill you— once the pain stops. . ." he snapped, closing his eyes. Miyuki tore the swords from Yuu's stomach, leaning him against her. Her arm throbbed, light-headed from blood loss.
She picked Yuu's gunblade up, then went as fast as she could while Yuu was leaning on her. Miyuki froze when she heard something hollow when she stepped on it. She inspected it, hearing wind come from the darker stones. She tried lifting it with success. "Yuu, we can hide in here," she whispered urgently. He slurred,"Well? Go in." Miyuki shook her head, pulling away. He slunk to his knees, breathing hard. Miyuki looked around, then whispered,"I'll go in if you go in. Hurry, they'll be coming!" Yuu frowned at her, one eye closed. But, he did so, dropping himself in. He landed and staggered, dizzy. "Alright." he called up weakly. Miyuki dropped in and into Yuu's arms. He set her down and looked around. They were in a corridor, a large hallway leading to a spacious, circular room. The room was made of nothing but earth like it was dug out, and had a clear view of the rainy sky. Yuu looked back to see Miyuki standing on rocks, balancing. She pulled the stones back, covering the hole they came in from. "Now let's pray they don't find us." she said, holding her arm. "Come here." Yuu said, sitting down. Miyuki sat in front of him. He took her arm and examined it, then said,"Close your eyes." She did so, confused, holding her breath. There was a prick in her arm, and then pain. She opened her eyes, worried. Yuu was sewing the gash in her arm shut, nimbly. Miyuki felt bile rise to her throat and shut her eyes again. "Alright, done. Don't puke on me." Yuu muttered. "So it wasn't just for clothes, huh?" Miyuki asked, calming herself, looking at her arm. "No." he said. Once more, even on the verge of death, he said nothing else. What a chatterbox, this guy. Yuu closed his eyes, his body relaxing. "Hey, Yuu?" Miyuki asked, about to freak. He wouldn't respond. "YUU!!" she cried. He opened one eye. "What?" he asked irritably. "D-do you need anything?" Miyuki asked, concerned. He thought it over. "Water, I guess." he said, gesturing to the rain. Miyuki nodded and ran to the circular earthen room. "Ah, cup, cup. . .No cups. . .Bottles?" she muttered, looking around. She looked at her hands and then to the sky. She trotted back to Yuu, her hands out. In her cupped hands was water. "No containers." she said to Yuu when he looked at her strangely. He rolled his eyes, then put his mouth to her hands. Miyuki looked at the sky, begging Aru to show up and save the day. Nothing.
Miyuki suppressed laughter, smiling. "What?" Yuu asked, somewhat surprised. "Tickles." she said, looking to her hand. He sighed, holding his stomach. Miyuki poured the rest of the water onto his sides, washing the blood away. Yuu winced, groaning. Miyuki frowned. "What do I do now?" she asked. "Just stay quiet." Yuu said, closing his eyes again. Miyuki bit her lip. If Yuu died, who would help her?! Miyuki started to panic. She got up and stood in the rain, washing the blood from her arm, clothes, and hair. Her hands were shaking, Yuu's blood silently washed away from them. Miyuki felt tears rise. She was scared. What would she do if Yuu died? Who would save her? She wiped the tears away. God, she was pathetic. All she did was cry!! Miyuki put a strong face on, sniffling. Then she shivered, freezing. Hands clutched her shoulders and rubbed them briskly. Miyuki turned to see Yuu frowning at her, blood flowing off of him in an endless stream. "Don't worry about me. You need to rest." Miyuki said. "Shut up." Yuu said, backing up. He sat back down, out of the rain. "Rain. It's wet, it's cold, I don't like it." he muttered. Miyuki sat by him, burying her face in her arms. "I'm scared, Yuu." she whispered. Yuu wiped his mouth, unsure what to say. "Being scared won't help us." he managed. "Shut it." she snapped, smiling. Miyuki looked up, hearing Alec's song. Yuu was dozing. If he fell asleep, he would definitely die. "Uh, Yuu. Wake up." Miyuki hissed, shaking him. He was already drifting off. Miyuki started to sing. Yuu blinked sleepily. "Why are you singing?" he asked. "So you won't hear Alec." Miyuki explained. Yuu said nothing, just stared off. He murmured the rest of the song. Miyuki smiled. "You know the song?" she asked. "It's a famous song, what do you expect?" he responded, tilting his head. "You don't know how to drive, you're antisocial. I just figured. . ." Miyuki trailed off. "Well, we have music in our company, you know." he said. Something dropped from the open ceiling, landing with a thud. "Aru, good to see you." Yuu called. Aru floated over, dirty. "I'm very sorry." she said, bowing. "What ever. Just help us." Yuu said, standing up.
Alec paused, Mika bumping into him. "He's over there," Alec said, turning around. Yuu was walking forward, his gunblade resting on his shoulder. A puddle of blood was already gathering at his feet. "Good to see you've decided to man up a little. I was surprised you'd run." Mika said snidely. "Well, I was with a cute chick, what'd you expect? I got a little weak in the knees." Yuu joked. Mika's face darkened. "Shut up! Stop teasing me! I'm the only girl for you!!" she sobbed, pouting. "Lemme guess: You're only killing me because you love me." Yuu added, smirking. Mika flew over to Yuu and landed in front of him. She hit his chest repeatedly, gently, and cried,"Yes!!" Yuu frowned. "Uhm, really?" he asked reluctantly. "Yes, verily." Mika said, hugging him. Yuu sighed. "Shouldn't have done that." he said. His blade sliced through her stomach, and he tore upwards. He shook her off, and she fell to the ground, moaning in pain. Yuu licked the blade, watching Alec with his red eyes. Alec frowned, then started playing his song again. Yuu blinked, but then Miyuki's voice came towards them. She was singing loudly. Yuu shook his head, awake. Alec gritted his teeth and lunged at Yuu. Aru sped past, knocking Alec's katana away. Too surprised to slow down, Alec fell onto Yuu. Yuu's gunblade thrust through him. Okay, Alec landed on Yuu and his gunblade. "Three of us now. Better retreat." Yuu hissed. Alec coughed blood, then tore himself away from Yuu. "I'll kill you." he snapped, picking Mika up. He shot off into the sky, flying off. "Heh. That was amusing." Yuu said, smirking. Miyuki, who was sprinting to keep up the whole time, ran up to him, panting. "G-good job." she said, breathing hard. Yuu stared at her. "Thanks..." he said after a moment. "Yuu-tono. We must head back now." Aru said, landing by him. "Alright." Yuu agreed, nodding. Aru pressed her forehead to Yuu's, then her body, starting from her feet, disintegrated into small white feathers. Yuu blinked, then picked Miyuki up. "Wha? Where are we going?" Miyuki asked, brushing her hair away from her eyes. Yuu looked down at her. "My company. Sono Gakuen."
"Ryou Yuu." Yuu said about half an hour later into a microphone. They were on a gigantic cliffside. Sono Gakuen looked like a castle, towering high above them. "Ryou-kun? Welcome back!" a voice declared through the microphone. "Open the gates." the voice went on. The gates opened slowly, then screeched with finality to a stop. Yuu gesture for Miyuki to follow, walking up the steps. "Wow. . .What kind of place is Sono Gakuen?" Miyuki wondered aloud. "It sucks." Yuu said bluntly, hands in pockets. "Why do you work here then, genius?" Miyuki asked. ". . .It's not like I had a choice." he said, and offered no further information. Miyuki frowned. "What do you—" she started, before a white blur shot past her. "Eh?" she thought, falling back in surprise. The blur stopped, seeing Miyuki fall. "Ah! Sorry!" the person said, grabbing Miyuki's hand and pulling her upright. "W-whoa. . .ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME, YOU MORON?! DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!" Miyuki snapped, putting her hands on her hips. The person thought. "I know what you AREN'T! You're not NICE." the person snapped back. "WHY YOU--!!" Miyuki started, before Yuu separated them. "Yuki." he said darkly. "Uwaaah~, Yuu-kun! Did you just get back? Me too~!!" Yuki said, hugging Yuu. "Uhm, get off." Yuu said. He pushed the girl down and started up again. "Y-Y-Yuuuuuu, you're so meeeaaannn~!!" Yuki said, hugging herself. "You're gross!!!" Miyuki wailed, hugging Yuu for protection. Yuki smiled, but she was obviously miffed. "Don't touch my Yuu." she said sweetly. "When did I become your property? Mi-yu-ki, get off." he said. "Wha? Say my name normally and I will." Miyuki said, pouting. "No." Yuu said, sighing. "And why not?" Miyuki demanded. "What's for dinner, Yuki?" Yuu asked, avoiding the question. "What's for dinner? Why, ME, of course!" Yuki said, opening her arms. Yuu sighed again. "Someone kill me. . ."
"I'm sorry about earlier. My name is Karuhina Yuki." Yuki said, flashing Miyuki a thumbs up. Miyuki smiled. "Shiina Miyuki." she replied. "Suetsukata?" Yuki said, gaping. "U-uh, yea. . ." Miyuki said, fidgeting. "Oh, so you're here to be killed?" Yuki said, smiling. "H-Hell no!! We found a solution! Don't you dare touch me!" Miyuki shrieked, hiding behind Yuu. "Yup." he said simply. ". . .'Yup' to what?" Yuki and Miyuki asked at the same time. "Nothing. Yuki, hide me." Yuu said. Yuki stood up taller, puffing her flat chest out. Yuu hid behind her. "What's wrong?" Miyuki asked. "Rinna." Yuu said, peeking over Yuki's shoulder. A girl was looking wildly around. "I heard Yuu-kun got back! Where is he?!" she called. "Rinna? What's wrong with her?" Miyuki asked. "She's an obsessive freak." Yuki snapped. "Oh-kay. . ." Miyuki muttered, leaning against a pillar. "Ah, Miyuki, I wouldn't—" Yuu and Yuki started, before the pillar opened and Miyuki fell through. "KYAAAA!!!" she screamed, falling fast. She landed on something squishy, only twisting her ankle. "Ow ow ow. . ." she whined, looking around. "What (squiiish~ ♥) happened?" she thought, then snapped her head around to the origin of the squishing noise. "Under you, my dear. ♥" said a voice. Miyuki looked down to see a man waving at her. She was sitting on his face, but she could see long blond hair braided back. "Ah, I'm so sorry!" Miyuki said, standing up. The man stood up, his red eyes gleaming. "Not at all, my little kitty. I'm afraid I'm the one at fault. You see, I heard Yuu-chan arrived back and brought Suetsukata, and I was eager to meet you." he said, smiling. Miyuki felt her face flush. "Y-Yes, I'm Suetsukata. Nice to meet you." Miyuki said, bowing. "Leo. Just Leo. I know you, Shiina Miyuki." he said. He pronounced her name the way Yuu did— Mickey, 'milky'. Leo smiled and took Miyuki's hand. "It's an honour, Suetsukata." he said, kissing her hand. Miyuki felt her soul fly away. "Miyukiiiii~!!" she heard Yuki call. "Mi-yu-ki!" Yuu called, pronouncing each syllable separately. Miyuki frowned. "Yes, I'm here, but my name, YUU, is MIYUKI!!" she snapped. Leo smiled and vanished into the shadows. "Who were you talking to just now? I heard another voice." Yuki asked, trotting up to Miyuki. "Some dashing man named Leo." Miyuki said, smiling. "Ah, Sono Gakuen's most prized mercenary." Yuki said, hands on hips. "Leo? Ah, he's a weirdo." Yuu said thoughtfully. "He looked awfully familiar. . ." Miyuki said slowly, frowning. "Very familiar. . ."
"Well, Alec. Let's do this properly now." Yuu said, releasing the blade. Alec smiled. "My pleasure." he said snidely. Miyuki worriedly crawled away, holding her bleeding arm. Yuu launched himself at Alec, bringing his gunblade down. Alec parried, stepping back quickly. They were soon fighting diligently, there swords clanging.
