Under the night sky she sat alone.
She wore a school outfit replacing the blazer with a yellow vest so that all that remained of the school uniform is actually just the white shirt, gray short skirt, black socks and a pair of shoes.
Her eyes enamored by the sky seemed as if they were there since the beginning of creation. Her back somehow seemed to make her evanescent. As she gazed up at the sky her long night colored hair matched with the sky it self.
The still cold soft drink in her hand went ignored until the arrival of someone in all black. she matched what kids hear from their parents is a bad influence.
"Ano Tayousei." The lady stopped at the side of the young girl slightly taller than her.
Her icy eyes turned on the lady. "I thought I told you not to say that name." One could feel the iciness spread to the surroundings anyone who passed by would avert their gaze and keep their head down. It only makes it more effective the one of the girls is wearing all black and piercings.
"Whatever." She replied completely ignoring the icy gaze. Her gentle and excited voice only seemed to melt it. "They have your sister."
Ano looked up at her while pushing her self off the bar she leaned on. She finished the soft drink in her hand.
She didn't need to say more, after knowing her for such a long time she knew Anon wouldn't hesitate when it came to her sister. If there was anything to note it's that the iciness in her expression became colder.
They walked over to the motorcycle and she put on her helmet as Ano hopped on back they rode away disregarding speed limits and others could only do they're best to avoid them. Well needless to say the lady was best when it came to speeding around so of course their reactions were meaningless.
"The sky looks weird huh?" The lady cut the silence but it was returned with only silence.
She went even faster soon they stopped at gates.
They hopped off the bike in the empty school field they saw a gangsters and a few of them stood in front of Ano's sister.
Ano walked forward ignoring the words coming from who seem to be the boss of this group.
"Haha Ano you really thought no one would touch your sister after that last stunt you pulled? Demon of Tokyo? Well I'm here to put an end to that. I'm the demon here!" He held a bat in one hand and pointed. "Come any closer and you'll see whose the demon here."
"Ano.." The lady following Ano could tell things wouldn't end well and could only sigh. She walked with behind Ano intending to help her.
"Stay out of this Alice." Ano warned while moving in towards the gang her entire exterior threatening to kill them.
"Like hell I'm staying out of this. You and your sister both are important to me." Alice smiled while coming beside Ano facing the gang excitedly.
"..." Ano said nothing more getting closer. Some of the gangsters we're already familiar with her name.. 'demon' that was spread in more places than just Tokyo. While she became more famous after the event that involved her sister before she was known as a demon since long ago.
One of the gangsters who was beaten by her before stood amongst them. He trembled no longer able to resist his fear he kowtowed dropping the bat he was holding.
"I apologize! I had nothing to do with them I swear!!"
Ano ignored him.
The others were looking at him with surprise, disgust, anger.
"You-!" The boss glared at him. He turned his head to Ano and pointed his bat in her direction. "Take her down now!" He turned glaring at each of the people near him. Then looking to the three men near Ano's sister he nodded.
They began to move towards her.
Ano wasted no more time walking and ran.
"Haha you didn't think we'd let you waltz in here right!"
"Demon I've been wanting to fight you!"
"You aren't getting past here!"
"You.."
The gangsters said a lot of things as they ran forward to swing their bats.
Ano ignored them however and didn't bother with them. Punching or kicking them before they could really do anything. Alice similarly beat them though not as skilled as Ano.
Just when the three gangsters arrived in front of Ano's sister she already appeared behind them with Alice knocking them out. Ano quickly check her sister, besides being asleep she is just fine.
Still.. she passed her to Alice's open arms as Alice looked up at her knowing what would happen.
"Demon.. you don't have to do anything." The boss was sneaking out while keeping an eye on the situation. He brought those guys because he figured he'd have a chance at winning but they were also chest pieces. Once he saw they were defeated he decided to escape. If he couldn't when in numbers then how would he stand a chance 1 on 1?
Ano speechlessly walked over to him.
"She wasn't touched!"
Ano mercilessly began to trample over everyone in that field. Starting with the boss. Even those in the field who were knocked out she would beat them down even breaking bones when she was done it looked like she tortured them, moans and groans we're heard through out the field or screams.
She coldly turned her gaze to the sky while the sound of Alice sighing entered her ears. She looked to see Alice carrying her sister over and turned to the gate to lead them out.
Upon exiting the gate Alice started for the bike but was stopped by Ano.
"Let's go together." Alice returned Ano's gaze.
Seeming to not know what to say Alice could only say. "I wish you were like that more often." Realizing while in her line of sight Ano's intense gaze decreased significantly.
Ano quietly turned away and lead them to a restaurant. The relaxing atmosphere melted them and Ano's cold, icy exterior which was completely unapproachable steadily became only slightly unapproachable.
They took a seat near the window and Ano and Alice sat together while Alice seated her sister in front of them.
"Yui." Alice called gently stirring the girl in front of them awake.
The girl sleepily woke rubbing her eyes.
They shot open wide seeing her sister and Alice in front of her.
"Alice! Sis!" She became excited looking between both of them. "Why did we come here?"
"We wanted to treat you to celebrate your grades being the best of your class for so long!" Alice's wide smile showing off her wide but thin lips and white teeth.
"It's really just the teacher giving us easy work." Yui smiled, sincerely. Traits of Alice naturally made one smile sincerely. Even Ano who is usually cold melts around Alice.
"You're really smart." Yui smiled gently taking the drink she ordered a while ago from the waitress. She opened it while pointing her gaze toward the sky. "Besides have you seen the sky Yui? I've never seen something like this before."
"Huh?" Yui gazed up at the sky and the stars reflected in them. "Wow!"
"Pretty huh?" Alice gulped down her drink then gazed to Ano who sat quietly looking no where in particular. Her icy eyes, expressionless face, changed although it would take someone like Alice to know that Ano was in a good mood right now. Alice could make out the bit of warmth in her gaze.
Alice's heart ached when she recalled the event that led up to their currently cold Ano.
However she did her best putting it somewhere in a deep abyss in her mind not wanting to think of it.
She already has a cold Ano.
A worried Yui who hides how worried she is for her sister whose so cold.
Why does she need to think of something like that..
She seemed to drink away her thoughts then putting the nearly empty bottle on the table.
As Alice opened her mouth to ask a question a bright light erupted above them and they could see a huge celestial body flying towards them.
Alice looked from Ano to Yui helplessly how to protect them from something that was so close. Feeling a gaze on her she could only get up as Ano slid from the seat beside her and left the restaurant.
"Wait! Where the hell!?- Yui! Come on!" Alice could only adjust and take Yui's hand as they ran out of the door to meet Ano who stood outside. She looked at the celestial body ahead with the same icy look.
"Ano!.." Alice whispered as she grit her teeth. She didn't know what to make of what was happening but the most important person in her life chose to meet the calamity head on. Hundreds of different emotions and thoughts ran through her as she hugged Yui to keep her from running out.
"Sis!" Yui screamed out in tears, her eyes turning red as she cried and tried to run to her sister to embrace her, save her.. die with her. Anything except this distance.
The celestial body could consume the entire restaurant but where Ano stood it seemed thats where it would touch first.
Alice also wanted to go out there but just as she felt Ano was the most important existence to her she also wanted to protect Ano's Sister Yui. She has known Yui for a long time and they've grown close so she felt like the least she could do is try to protect her.
The celestial body seemed to slow down time as it came down to make contact with Ano's head. But just before it did it shined brightly blinding everyone. When the light disappeared everyone opened their eyes in disbelief.
Ano stood unharmed while looking at her self in surprise.
Just as Alice felt relieved Ano turned toward them halfway smiling at Alice.
Yui lost the broke down crying on the spot. Feeling multiple emotions as she cried aloud Alice released her during her own complex emotions.
Relief, sadness, happiness, anger, she felt as if she should have expected this of Ano. She walked over to Ano who was walking to her.
"We should stay here for a while." Ano said suddenly surprising Alice.
"Those things are here to give people power for some reason." Ano said as she stopped in front of Alice.
"What kind of power did it give you?" Alice said effectively removing the sad atmosphere around them. Yui looked up, taking the hand Alice offered her.
Alice led them back into the restaurant and they took their seats waiting to hear what kind of power Ano received.
"Time and space."
Alice looked at her thinking of the power and what it could do.
