Chapter 7: Chapter 6: Academy Pt. 6

I finally gathered the strength to stand up and walk. I slowly walked toward the gatekeeper. My back was still in pain from when I had been flung into the tree.

"Hey, are you alright?" I asked her as she lie down on her side.

I dropped to my knees to try and help. She turned toward me, now on her back. All I saw were tears falling from her eyes. I shook her once. Twice. Then, she finally regained her train of thought.

"Hey!" I shouted a little.

She turned her head toward me. I could see the look of agony on her face. What had he done to her? I knew where to take her. I hope they'll listen to me at the very least.

[10:27 PM, Dorm A-06]

I knocked on the door, hoping someone would answer. One of them had to be awake.

"Coming!" One of them assured.

Seconds after, the door swung open. Haruka was the one who answered the door. Her expression was expected. She looked concerned out of all things. But she moved aside to let me through. They all were awake. Great.

"Uh, Hyuri why the hell are you carrying a girl on your back?!" Hikari asked me.

"It's a long story. Just get her a blanket, she's freezing."

I set her down on a chair. I sat next to her. Haruka covered her with her blanket. A few seconds passed. She had finally woken up.

"Are you okay now?" I asked her.

She replied with a simple nod. That was a relief.

"Okay, now explain who she is," Hikari told me.

She spoke before I could.

"I am Gatekeeper G-07. I have been trapped in this human realm."

"Look, what she's saying is the truth. Just believe her, okay?

Convincing them to help would be hard.

"What's her name?"

I hesitated for a second. She never really told me her name. Nor did she mention having one. Gabriel only called her "G-07".

I took a deep breath, "Thing is... She doesn't have one."

They glanced at me then at her then back at me. I sighed. I would have to explain everything to them.

After, I explained everything it looked like they began to understand. 

"First, we need to give her a proper name," Hikari proposed. "How about Aiko."

The first part was complete. She had a name now. Aiko. The hard part was soon to come. Having to register her as a student.

"How will she attend-" I got cut off.

"Don't worry Hyuri. We can handle that," Haruka ensured me.

"Okay. I'm gonna head back to my dorm now. I'm getting sleepy. I'll see you guys tomorrow."

They waved "goodbye". As I stepped out of the room.

I stood against the door for a few seconds before heading off to my dorm.

Aiko's POV

The boy who I had met hours prior, Hyuri Katsuyo, had just left to go to sleep. The room I'm in is called a dorm. Haruka, Hikari, and Eve have been helping me understand Earth a little better.

"Well, what do you wanna know more about?" Eve asked me.

"I don't have much in mind. So please tell me about the essentials first," I told them.

March 11th, 2000 [1:29 AM, Dorm A-05]

I walked into Hyuri's dorm silently so no one would hear. I saw him. He was lying down asleep. I climbed to his bed and lay down next to him. I just stared at him. I wondered why there was a yellow line of hair in the front. The rest of his hair was black, but that line was a bright yellow.

"Lightning…," he spoke in his sleep.

Did humans always talk in their sleep? I pressed my palm against his forehead. I wanted to know his story. Even if I did have my divine abilities taken I should be able to find out his background. I put slightly more pressure and closed my eyes.

"What happened, Ryu? Ryu?" he spoke again.

I gasped loudly. Tears began to form in my eyes. Ryu Katsuyo, his older brother. There was another name. It was Sakura. Sakura Katsuyo, his older sister. I hugged him tightly. He needed it. His background was tragic. I was feeling those emotions that humans felt. I was a human now.

Before I knew it all I saw was black.

[5:45 AM]

He had woken up. Hyuri was awake. I felt the blanket leave my body and I saw his face.

"Good morning, Hyuri, '' I told him in a soft voice.

"G-good morning, Aiko" he stuttered. "Why are you in my bed?"

"I came here whenever Hikari and Haruka finished telling me about this place. I just sort of walked in, saw you, and fell asleep by your side," I said.

"Okay. Just don't let the guys see you. They'll be teasing and asking questions for days," he responded.

I nodded my head, which is used sometimes by humans in this context means "Okay" I think.

[7:03 AM, Prof. Tanoji's classroom]

It was time for my first class of the day. Hikari guided me throughout the school. She opened the door for me and we walked inside.

The classroom was big. The desks were ordered in lines from the front to the back. I saw Hyuri, Haruka, and Eve.

"Alright, class we have a new student. Her name is Aiko," the professor introduced me. "Ms. Aiko, there is an open desk in front of Hyuri. Hyuri raise your hand please."

Hyuri lifted his hand. I walked to and sat at the desk in front of him. I could notice some boys staring at me. I didn't like the feeling. I turned around to face Hyuri.

"Hyuri. Why are the boys staring at me? It is very concerning," I whispered.

"They must all think you're attractive or something," was his response. I don't know if that was the case, but I went along with it.

[11:15 AM, Hallway]

My final class had ended. It all went well. I did nothing embarrassing. But that changed once I walked out of class. A boy, walked by me. But before he left he whispered something.

"I'll see you soon, Aiko," he told me in an uncanny tone.

I didn't know what he had meant. Or why he said it the way he did. I walked quickly out the door. He followed me. I changed pace. He did as well. I began running hoping to run into Hyuri or someone.

I saw him up ahead. The boy touched the ends of my hair. I felt that and ran as fast as this human form had let me.

"Wh- Aiko?!" I heard someone say.

Thud!

I crashed into Hyuri. It hurt, but I felt safe. I looked down. I was on top of him. This random reaction occurred. My face began to burn.

"Hyuri. Uhh, what are you doing?" Haruka had said.

He got up quite quickly. What was that reaction? My face had felt warm.

"Aiko ran into me. Pretty hard," he told her.

I remembered the boy. I quickly turned around and scanned the area. Searching for him.

"S-someone was chasing me," I told them still afraid.

I thought Hyuri would say something, but all he said was, "Haruka she's in your hands for the rest of the day. All of a sudden I'm feeling tired." Followed by a yawn.

"Okay! I got it!"

Then, he left. Why did he not say anything about it?

"Tell me more about this. Come on," Haruka told me.

I nodded. We walked off to her dorm. She and her friends would help in some way or another. I knew it.
