Just then Kirito comes in unaware of my findings he begins to speak excitedly.
"So I found a couple of papers in a different language that I have not seen before and I am sure that this may be the clue we were looking for!"
I quickly put my hand over his mouth and he looks at me oddly. I put my finger to my lips saying shh and then proceeded to point to the four objects I had found hidden amongst my room, I remove my hand over his mouth and gently push him towards the door closing it behind us.
"It is not safe to talk here I don't know if there is anymore around here."
Kirito takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly trying to find the right words to speak.
"Ok let's take them to Ms. Natsumi and see what we can do about this, maybe we can find information off of these about where they came from and who put them here in the first place."
I nod in agreement and he sighs.
"It's like one problem after another these days, I wonder if Ms. Natsumi has found anything yet, Let's go and check up on her."
I nod again.
"Ok, I will go get what I have found and be right out."
After locating Ms. Natsumi we enter her office area quietly and she looks up at us from her desk.
"Oh, perfect timing guys look what I found."
we wave our hand's side to side.
"No do not show us yet we are being watched and listened to as we speak."
I lay the four items on the floor facing downward and she walks over to take a look picking up each one and examining it.
(Kazuki pov)
I watch as the image on the screen moves about and see Mr. Lee's partner along with Yuki and Kirito and throw the cup I held onto the floor shattering it to peaces frightening Kana awake who had fallen asleep on the couch.
"What is the matter Kazuki?"
she speaks as she sits up rubbing her eyes and I dart her a furious glare as she takes notice of the screen.
"What the hell do you think is the matter! Your cameras were located with ease, your so pathetic Kana!"
Kana flinches at my tone and puts her hand on my arm.
"Do not worry I can fix this I promise."
I throw her arm off of me and dart her a death glare.
"You have till the end of the month to get what I need or it is you who'll suffer the consequences of our Lord!"
she nods instantly and tears begin to ball up in her eyes.
"Please don't be mad at me I will make it up to you I promise."
she then gets on her knees and begins to unbuckle my belt...
(Yuki's Pov)
After showing Mrs. Natsumi our findings she takes the paper Kirito had found and the cameras turning them off one by one and sticks everything in her safe underneath her desk.
"I'll take a better look at everything a bit later. Tomorrow is the meeting between everyone so do not forget to get to the place 3 hours beforehand alright?"
we nod in agreement and Kirito sighs beside me.
"Mrs. Natsumi I think it's best if we put up some surveillance in our dormitory. I believe someone who has access to our dorm or even one of our classmates might be in on this. We should keep a close eye on everyone and trust no one except for the people who are already by our sides such as the night class president and his vice."
Mrs. Natsumi nods her head.
"I think your right, you guys head back and as of now...Trust No one."
(That evening)
As I towel dry my hair and in deep thought of who could be a culprit and since I do not know anyone I'm at a loss. The only people I have truly associated with were Naiomi and Kirito besides our teacher. I fall back upon my bed trying to relax for the moment pushing the thoughts away till I hear a soft knock on my door.
"Yuki are you awake?"
Kirito speaks lowly from behind the door and I open the door to let him in. His serious and cold expression like no other seemed more colder than usual.
"What's up?"
He walks inside and I close the door and he turns towards me with an odd look on his face.
"Yuki, You need to forfeit the tournament."
The sudden response enraged and upset me and I shake my head.
"What the hell Kirito? Why would you ask me such a thing knowing all the hard work I've put in!"
He takes a step forward and I feel a sense of fear as he inches closer, my back hits the wall and he places a hand on the back of the wall behind me.
"It doesn't matter why, I am your teammate and you should respect my decision, Yuki."
His sudden extreme coldness to me sent a chill through me.
(All this time I had thought he was beginning to warm up to me, that we were becoming close friends. But just now it's like he's a totally different person towards me.)
"Kirito think about what you just said! How can you decide for me?! I am your friend, not your girlfriend or anything of that matter to you, you have no right to make a decision for me on my behalf especially without even consulting me first, we are a team!! If I were to give up now it will also mean that you will not be able to advance either, also this is something I have worked hard for my entire life there is no way I'm going to just give it up!"
He hits the wall behind me and I startle from the sudden rage.
"Are you done ranting yet? Ya, your right. Your not my girlfriend and I cant make you do as I say for the most part just by asking but at the end of the day I thought out of everyone you could see I have a reason behind everything! no matter though because If you do not forfeit then I will myself."
the pain of hearing his hurtful words made tears well up in my eyes. No matter how much I tried to hold it back, I felt the tears drip off my face.
(Why is he so cruel? My heart hearts...He knows how far I've come so why?! and to top it all off why does his words pierce me so deep when he said ya, not my girlfriend...why!)
I clench my shirt where my heart throbbed from the emotional pain of his words and lack of care.
"Yuki?"
he reaches his hand out to my face but I slap it away.
"Don't touch me!"
I try to push him away but he grabs ahold of my wrist and pulls me into his arms placing one arm around my waist and the other hand on top of my head my heartbeat skips.
(Why...Why is he like this!? cold one moment and gentle the next! my heart can't take this...I am so mad at him but why can't I push him away?)
Kirito holds me tighter.
"I know you have been through a lot, I know how hard you have worked for all of this but right now...I can't explain exactly why we need to do this. Just trust me in this Yuki."
(Kirito's thoughts.)
(Because I can't risk losing you too.)
After a few more moments I nod and bury my face in his chest trying to hide my tears and he strokes my hair.
"Are you alright?"
he asks softly and gently and I nod.
"Yes...But you are too cruel Kirito."
He chuckles.
"What makes you say that?"
(I can't understand him and this frustrates me, the feelings he makes me feel are mixed with many emotions that I'm confused about.)
"Yuki?"
he pulls back and I look away feeling my face burning.
(Kirito pov)
I pull away from her and see her blushing face with some tears in her eyes and smirk.
(She's too cute when she's upset.)
I wipe her tears away and she closes her eyes.
(I will protect you even if it means making you hate me in the end.)
(A few moments earlier Kirito pov.)
Upon entering my room I notice a letter on my desk I haven't seen before, I sit down and begin reading it shocked and enraged by its contents.
Dear Kirito,
Upon reading this I'm sure that means you have found out about the cameras and other things. if you do not wish to see Yuki killed then make her quit the tournament and distance yourself from her, do not let her know why either, or else I'll kill her immediately, bring me the 4 scrolls hidden in the chambers below your school the staircase is in your headmaster's office somewhere, it is up to you to locate it and bring me the Fire and Ice scrolls. If this isn't done by midnight next week at the border then be prepared to have your teammate dead in your arms and do not think about involving anyone. I will know every move of yours even upon you reading this very letter.
(Damn it!)
(Back to current reality)
I rub her head and she pushes my hand away.
"Stop messing with my hair!"
I chuckle and she tries to push me away but as I take a step back to catch myself I step on a water bottle and fall pulling her with me.
