Episode 12: The Lone Snowflake in Spring

After Yukari and Kurumu presented the evidence to the school faculty Rane's name was cleared and Ginei was gonna be in detention for the rest of the year. But he still was head of the school newspaper so without a doubt they still had to deal with the pervert and he wasn't done, he just moved to taking photos rather than stealing. Other than that the next few days had seemed pretty normal by this schools standards. They even put out the next issue of the school paper and Rane and the gang were handing them out to students. Business was going good and a lot of people were taking the papers from everyone, except for Rane. Maybe it was because he wasn't an attractive girl like the others but seeing other girls take papers from them threw that idea into the trash. And more importantly he noticed he was getting more nasty looks than normal.
Rane: Hey Moka.
Moka: Yeah Rane? Wow, have you sold a single paper today?
Rane: Exactly what I wanted to talk to you about. Am I a contagious disease or something?
Moka: I hope not. Maybe the people you've fought spread rumors as some kind of revenge.
Rane: That's actually a pretty good reason.
Kurumu: Who cares if everyone is a little scared? Power by fear is good.
Yukari: I don't fully agree with that but you shouldn't worry Rane.
Rane: Thanks everybody.
Rane was able to smile thanks to everyone's warm comments but then everyone was shivering as if the temperature dropped rapidly for some reason.
Moka: Did the weather say rapid temperature changes?
Kurumu: I don't think so!
Rane: Crap it's freezing.
Yukari: Let's get inside.
They went inside the school closing the door behind them. However, out of curiosity Rane looked out the window to see if there was a reason to the cold. But all he saw was a girl with long purple hair and a loli pop in her mouth. She stared off into the sky for a while before she looked directly at Rane and she smiled. To Rane she just seemed like an ordinary girl so why did it feel like something was off about her? He stayed in that puzzled state of mind for the rest of the day.
The next morning Rane walked to class with Moka as he usually did but he felt like he was being watched by an extra set of eyes. He turned to find that girl from yesterday peaking out from behind a corner. Maybe she was looking for something and it was just a coincidence that they met each other's gaze. That thought calmed Rane down and he continued on his way but the girl never stopped looking as he walked away. As Rane and Moka sat in class the teacher Shizuka came in.
Shizuka: Good morning class. I have an announcement that a new student will be joining our homeroom.
Before she could introduce her the front door to the class opened and thar same burst of cold wind entered making everyone shiver.
Rane: Ok now we know it's not normal.
Moka: Who is making this?
The answer walked into the room shortly and to Rane's suprise it was that same girl with the loli pop in her mouth.
Shizuka: T-this is M-m-mizore.
Mizore stayed silent and bowed to the class and immediately found Rane locking eyes with him again and again she smiled before taking a seat in the back of the class.
Moka: Do you know her?
Rane: Not even a little bit. I've just seen her a few times, never talked to her though.
Moka: Well maybe she's taken a liking to you.
Rane: I'm flattered but I can't feel my toes.
Moka: I have to agree with you there.
It was from that point on that Rane continued to have a feeling of eyes following him wherever he went. Soon Rane couldn't take it and he faced Mizore in the hallway.
Rane: Ok why are you following me?
Mizore stayed silent but then she pulled out a notebook.
Mizore: I'm just a fan, of your writing in the paper that is.
Rane: A fan?
Mizore: Yeah I have all of your articles in this book.
Rane: I've only written a few but I flattered
Mizore handed him the book and Rane opened it looking inside and every article he ever wrote in the newspaper was in that book with a few interesting side notes.
Mizore: You're writing speaks to me. It makes me think we're the same kind of people, loners that no one else understands.
Rane: Well I guess I have been writing from that perspective.
Mizore: Would you like to go out together?
Rane: Um, I guess it wouldn't hurt. I have been stressed lately.
Mizore: I know where we can go.
Mizore grabbed Rane's hand and ran off of school grounds. Meanwhile Moka was going throughout her school day wondering where Rane is. But he didn't show for classes the entire day. It made her worry so she visited his dorm room to find that it was open. This made her suspicious so she entered his room.
Moka: Rane? You weren't in your classes. Are you sick?
There was no response and as Moka searched around the room she found nothing but then she heard the door slam behind her.
Mizore: Entering a man's room when he isn't here, going through his belongings, you're such a pervert.
Moka: What did you do with Rane?
Mizore: Rane is fine, he's happy, and he's having fun but I need to make sure that no one will interfere in that and that other half of yours is a nuisance.
Moka: Why do I have to die cuz of her!
Mizore: Collateral damage.
Moka: How's this for collateral damage!
Moka put her feet on Mizore's stomach and pushed her off sending her into a wall. The crazy thing was that a few pieces of Mizore broke off.
Mizore: Unfortunately for me this is only and ice doll. I don't have the pleasure of killing you myself.
Moka: This can't be happening. RANE HELP!!!
In the meantime Rane was out by a lake with Mizore who was skipping stones in the water.
Mizore: Rane did you see that? It skipped 5 times.
Rane: New record, nice job.
Rane yawned because he was feeling a little exhausted.
Rane: I think it's time we should head back.
Mizore: Do we have to?
Rane: Yeah everyone else is probably worried about where I am.
Mizore: They don't matter.
Rane: Um yeah they sorta do. They're my friends.
Mizore: But yoh don't need them anymore. You have me.
A cold wind started to surround Mizore and it made Rane Nervous.
Rane: Mizore, are you ok?
He took a slight step back but that instantly set Mizore off. She raised her arm toward Rane and his feet were encased in ice.
Mizore: I won't let you leave.
Rane: I see that!
Mizore: Don't worry Rane, it might hurt now but soon it'll be just us forever.
Moka: NO WAY!!!
Moka appeared from the sky being carried by Kurumu.
Mizore: Nuisance!
Mizore's arms changed to claws made of ice and with a quick swipe a barrage of icicles were sent flying towards Moka. Kurumu managed to dodge them but Moka's extra weight made her lose control and sent them both crashing into Rane which freed him from the ice.
Rane: Thank God. How did you guys find me?
Moka: I went to your room to since you missed all your classes but all I found was an ice clone!
Kurumu: I went to your room to drop a special love potion I made.
Moka: Kurumu did I tell you that you look amazing today?
Kurumu: Moka might have accidentally took a small sniff of it. You like girl on girl action Rane?
Rane: Save it for later. I have a camera in my room.
Mizore: Ahem!
Rane: Oh right we got to deal with her first.
Mizore: I'm tired of people constantly interfering
Mizore swiped again sending a few shards directly at Moka but Rane jumped in front of them. Mizore had no desire to harm Rane so she made the shards disappear before they hit him.
Mizore: Why do you protect them? They are only in the way of our love.
Rane: Because they're my friends! I'm gonna protect them!
Mizore: Rane, are you rejecting my feelings?
Rane: I didn't say that.
Her body started to shake and tremble as tears formed in her eyes.
Mizore: RANE!!!
A gust of snow and wind surrounded Mizore but as it cleared she disappeared.
Kurumu: Well at least she's gone.
Rane: No, I sense a great disturbance in the force.
