Act: 9
Hano stares at her with a calm and gentle smile on his face while Chisaka stares at him with a smug look on her face.
"What is it this time Chisaka? Wait, actually- let me guess it has something to do with Shizu. Right?"
"Hmph, tell me why Shizu isn't here, or did you do something!? Because I know you like putting that noise of yours where it doesn't belong.
*sigh*
Hano closes his eyes and shakes his head in disappointment. Opening his eyes, he adjusts his glasses before speaking once more.
"Always quick to assume that I did something. But you're wrong, I didn't do anything although I do happen to have an idea on why he's absent."
"Stop playing games and just tell me already why he's not here! I have been looking all day and I'm not in the mood for that!"
"Hmm, why should I? It's almost amusing watching you struggle. Plus, what's in it for me, I would like something in return."
Chisaka's eyes dropped, disgusted at what he may be suggesting.
"What the hell do you want from me anyway! I guess I could give you money, or attention making you more popular than you already are? Like what else could I give!"
Hano chuckles before getting closer to her face and gently grabbing her by the chin.
"You. That's what I want. In return, I can give you the information you seek about Shizu. And then I want you to stop being so attached to him. I think that's fair."
She slightly blushes and then knocks his hand off her face.
"Do you think I want you out of all people? I already said I will have Shizu, and you won't have him or me!"
Shaking his hand, a bit he goes up to Chisaka's ear and whispers some words before stepping back and softly smiling. Her eyes widen as she looks at him feeling somewhat lost.
"I'll let you think upon what I said, it's an offer I know you can't refuse."
Two boys turn the left corner of the long hallway, noticing Hano and Chisaka standing in front of each other, closer than normal.
*crash*
'Shit!'
On the far-right side of the hallway, Taku had slipped onto the ground. Trying to hide and eavesdrop on their conversation. He quickly gets up and takes off in the opposite direction.
Hano turns around and looks over at the two boys walking towards them, who happened to be student council members. He calls out for them to get their attention.
"Ren! Kyde! I need you to chase down that boy who just turned around and ran. I need him back at my office right away."
Ren and Kydeo both drop their small chit-chat listening to what Hano said. They dashed past them and turned the same corner chasing after Taku.
*sigh*
"I will have to deal with you later, Chisaka, I don't know how much that boy heard about our conversation, I can't have anyone else snooping around. Come back to me when you decide on what you want."
Turning around Hano enters his office. Walking over to his desk he glances at Aikawa who had set her book down once he entered the room.
"So, what did lady Chisaka need, I heard her causing a scene out there, so it seemed?"
Hano sat down at his desk folding both hands together and leaned forward.
"It doesn't concern you, keep your nose where it belongs. Or so what Chisaka would say."
"As you wish sir."
With a calm expression, she looked away from him, grabbing her book off the table, and continued to read again.
- - - -
"Hey, you! Stop running in the hallways, it's a rule ya know!"
Taku slightly turns his head around to notice that there were two people chasing after him while running.
"You know you're running too! Why don't you stop, and I will too!"
Ren, the one who had been shouting at Taku, stopped in place, agreeing to what he said.
*err*
"Ren! What are you doing! Hurry up, that kid is getting away!"
"Hm?"
"Haha, idiot, you really thought I was going to stop! Cya!"
"Ahh! My bad Kyde, I thought he was going to stop? Not to mention we shouldn't be running anyway aren't we technically breaking rules too!"
*Ugh*
"You dunce we are running because we were given permission by Hano himself! Did you forget we're supposed to catch him and bring him back soon? Who knows what he'll do to us if we fail."
"Ah.. True. I sure don't want to be punished by Hano. It's that I just got caught in the moment of running. It was fun and I didn't think he would fool me."
"Uh. Let's speed this up, charge up your Star energy, we'll catch him this time."
The two boys begin to have a faint flow of energy emitting from their bodies. A red flow swirling around Ren and a Blue flow around Kyde. Both glancing at each other they dash after Taku, moving faster than before.
Taku slows down a little, noticing nobody was around him.
"I think I lost them for no-"
*Thud*
Getting knocked to the ground he looks up and notices a muscular body standing in front of him.
"Hey, watch it. Can't you see I was.. wa-king.. he..re.."
'Daichi! Of course, this day gets worse.'
A big hand reaches out to Taku grabbing him by his arm, lifting him up back on his feet. A deep smug voice comes from Daichi as he looks at Taku somewhat trembling.
"Be more careful."
"U-h.. Yo-ur.. No-t going to beat me up..? heh.."
"No, we're on school grounds and if my Sensei finds out they'll be mad at me if I did so."
'Oh, that's great the school delinquent won't beat me up here! The one day he decides to come to school so I happen to run into him..'
"I think I should get going now, I kind of am in a hurry..."
Daichi glares down at him. While Taku is looking like a lost kid.
'Did I upset him somehow..'
"Why are you in such a rush?"
"Um.. you see I kinda am being chased and I don't want the cliche of them appearing behind me-"
"There he is!"
"..."
'Shit. I spoke too soon.'
All four of them stand and stare wondering what will happen next. Kyde speaks up first in all of the silence.
"So, I see you ran to the school delinquent, hah shouldn't you be causing trouble somewhere else. All we need is that kid, so would you come with us and make this easy."
"Hmm.. let me think about it?"
"I say...?"
"No way I'm out of here!"
Kyde chuckles a bit and activates his star ability before Taku begins to run away.
"Do you think I will let you get away again this time? We can just play the hard way if that's what you want."
"Activate Star ability. World Modification!" "
"Now you can't run!"
A Star symbol appears in front of him as energy spreads out fast covering Ren, Daichi, and Taku. Changing their surroundings from the school hallway into a plain grass field, floating rocks all over the place, and a sun resting within the far distance.
The Star disappears from Kyde right as the world finishes creating. He smirks while looking down on Taku and Daichi.
"Haha. Welcome to my dimension of fun, we challenge you to a duel. Also, don't try to run again, you won't be able to leave, and no one can help you from the outside either."
Kyde summons his Star once more.
"Star ability! Dual Genesis!"
Two black futuristic-style guns appear in his hands.
"Ren, you're next."
"My turnn! Star summon!"
"Red Wyvern!"
A red-bladed scythe with a white base enters Ren's hand. Leaning the scythe on his shoulder he points at Taku.
"Let's see what you've got!"
Taku materializes his wand in his hand and glances at Daichi.
"I'm not sure what you can do but I can take on the guy with the two toy shooters."
"Fine. Make sure you can pull your own weight."
'What a waste of time for me to get dragged into this. Sensei definitely will get upset at me knowing that I'll be late.'
"sure..?"
Both of them turn and look at Ren and Kyde with a scowling look on their faces.
"How dare you look at us with disgust. Ren Take on the kid we were chasing, I will deal with the delinquent."
Kyde facing Taku turns his guns over in Daichi's direction and gets ready to fire while Ren dashes at Taku.
"Not so fast!"
*voowm*
A wall of ice reaches all the way splitting each other off so Taku would face Kyde and Daichi would face Ren.
"My fights with you, not scythe boy."
"Ice Fragment!"
