The Guardian (Final Version)

2nd chapter: Guardians, spirits and what-more

Mia's PoV

In just a short amount of time many odd things had happened and all because of the boy sitting next to me: Richard, or rather Heart.

I got up still speechless after what had happen but Heart kept on with his calm expression, it was just as if it was normal for him to go around giving electric shocks to girls and then calling them master afterwards, not to mention all that had happened in between.

"Uhm..." I mumbled seeing that if I didn't make the first move and react he would keep staring at me all day; Heart tilted his head to the right at the sound of my voice and looked directly into my eyes leaving me with the feeling he was seeing right through my body and into my soul. "I-I don't understand what's going on." I confessed leaning against the table behind me.

"My name is Heart, Golden Heart though in this world it might be better if you call me Richard." he explained turning his chair around in order to be able to lean on its back.

"This world?" I asked confused. "Every time you open your mouth I get more and more confused; I think my head is going to explode." I didn't know if it was all the confusing information or the lack of food in my stomach but I really was starting to feel dizzy.

"That would be bad. I need you and every part of your body intact." he said with grin.

"Are you a pervert?" I asked leering after his statement.

"No, of course not!" he denied with conviction. "I am serious about needing you intact."

"Why?"

"Because-" Heart was able to say before being interrupted by the school bell. "Oh well, I guess I will have to tell you later."

"Huh? No way. It's not polite to leave in the middle of a discussion." I complained.

"What can I do? These breaks are too short." he said while the teacher entered the classroom. "Let us wait for lunch time. We will have enough time to have a proper talk." he concluded with a smile returning his chair to its original position while I returned to my seat, yet even though I respected his decision and decided to wait for lunch curiosity was eating me inside.

Unexpectedly lunch time arrived quickly; normally when we desperately want the time to pass it always seems to slow down instead but apparently not this time. After the school bell rung Heart followed me to the rooftop of the school building where, much to my surprise, was completely empty, the rooftop had always been a spot many students enjoyed as it was a calm place away from the daily rucks of a school yet luck did seem to be on our side, the lack of people would prove to be extremely useful as it would allow us to have a peaceful talk without interruptions.

I thought Heart would start speaking as soon as possible, however he did the exact same opposite by trying to avoid talking at all cost, like it was something dreadful and just mentioning it would bring the world into chaos.

I was getting a bit impatient and tired of waiting and the lack of food didn't help it either, so without holding it in anymore I spoke.

"We should be talking."

"I know... It is just that, I am just trying to find the best words to say." he explained with a serious expression.

"You don't need that." I affirmed sitting on the floor whilst leaning on the wall. "Just simply speak."

Heart looked at me and for a couple of seconds didn't say anything then he sighed, sat down next to me and started talking.

"I guess you are right." he agreed. "Like I told you before Richard is the name I go by in this world even though my real name is Heart."
