Not this time

Break out the moving gear!

Sore.... i felt numb and sore, training was harder then it seemed. I was barely able to dodge the weapons that were thrown in the room at me, it would have been harder if Kasai had started the room but he didn't. Ritoru was bruised but he stood where he was, he didn't fall over like i did, He reached his hand out towards me and i grabbed it, he pulled me up off the ground " Are we still training? " Ritoru asked Kasai " No. you both should start moving your stuff into your new apartment, " Kasai replied. I looked at Airi, Kasai and her were the only ones here now the others had left earlier. Ritoru looked at me " Come on, " he said as he walked towards the door, I shook my head " I can't right now, i have to do something first, " I told him " Fine, " Was the only word Ritoru used, i followed him out before turning the opposite way down the hall. i reached the stairs " its been awhile since i last saw my friends, " i thought. i walked through the last hall before entering the Rene Unit, i glanced around. it was crowded, many people were wearing uniforms, as well as carrying books. i walked through the halls of the unit waiting to hear the familiar voice of Hotaru, " I'm amazing! " someone yelled loudly, i knew exactly who it was. I walked faster before seeing Hotaru wearing the uniform, his back was turned. I grabbed Hotaru's shoulder, he jumped a bit before turning around " Akane!? " He said loudly as well as confused " Please be quiet, " I said, Hotaru grinned but he seemed to relax " why are you here? " He asked me " I just wanted to see how my friends were doing. I happened to find you first, " I answered him " Wait a minute, " Hotaru said " what? " I asked " Look at my outfit, " He said excited, i looked at it for a minute " I just got it today, " He said " So you like being a Rene? " I asked " Yeah! its everything i thought it would be and more, " Hotaru said but then he looked at me serious " w-what? " I said, for a hyper guy when Hotaru was serious i couldn't help but be afraid " When we had our last day of school you weren't called up to stage like some of the other students. i was wondering what local job you got. " He said to me, I sighed " I didn't get one, " I replied this made Hotaru gasp " Are you a Homu? " he asked me " I'll like you still if you are! " Hotaru added loudly before i could answer " No.... I'm a Hern actually but be quiet, " I said, Hotaru didn't move but then suddenly grinned and threw his fist in the air " Knew it! " He said before tackling me into a hug " I told you it was possible, " He said " No you said i could be not that it was possible, " I stated " Enough logical. lets tell the others, " Hotaru said before he grabbed my hand and started pushing his way through the halls.

Me and Hotaru finally made it into the Chizu hall, not many people were walking which made it easy to spot Melody " Hey Mellon! " Hotaru yelled his nickname name at her, Melody turned around " Stop calling me Mellon, Hotaru! " She yelled at him before blinking " Wait.... Hotaru? " She asked " Its me and Akane, " Hotaru said as we walked up to her. Melody was wearing the Chizu uniform " Why are you guys here? " Melody asked " we wanted to see you, " Hotaru said, she looked at me " i never saw you enter the Chizu hall earlier and you can only enter the Rene unit by passing through here. How are you here? " She asked " I'm a Hern, " I said quickly this time " really? " Melody asked inserted " Yes, " I said " Then that explains how you saw Hotaru first, " she said like she was just finished a puzzle. Melody always loved puzzles. I nodded " we have to see the others guys! " Hotaru stated to us and now had grabbed Melody's hand and started dragging us again down the halls. We had entered the Sachi Unit and it wasn't long to find where Hana was, " be careful, " someone said as we entered a room which looked like a lab, the people in the room were staring and were picking at gray crystal " Hana, " Hotaru said as he and us behind him walked over to her, she seemed to be playing with wires that were in the crystal " Hana, " Hotaru said again " Wait, " was all she said " But its us, " Hotaru said " I said wait, " Hana said looking at us this time. the crystal seemed to blow up but not really, it was a small explosion but enough to cover her face in soot and smoke " Use a towel and clean yourself, " a person in front said to her " Oops, " Hotaru said with a stupid grin " dang it Hotaru, that's the last time you make me lose my focus, " Hana said " That's what you said last time, " I replied to her as she wiped her face with a towel and we walked out of the room into the empty hallway " I didn't think you guys would be here, if i did i would have chosen a less explosive class to take today, " she said sighing " we are almost all together! " Hotaru said " what is he talking about? " Hana asked, Melody shrugged " he probably wants to go get Ruku too, " I said " Come on! " Hotaru yelled already half way down the hall, we quickly followed after.

We entered into the Yumu Unit which was the last five floors of the building, the doors were closed and the halls were empty except for one person leaning against the wall, it was Ruku " Hi Ruku, " Hotaru said to him as we walked up to him " Hi guys, " was all he said, Ruku didn't talk much " we've decided to go to the moon cafe! " Hotaru said " we never talked about that, " Melody said to him " But it sounds fun, " Hana said I nodded in agreement. The Moon cafe was a popular cafe in Maylin city and there seemed to be new people there ever day " Come on we always went to the cafe together after school, " Hotaru said " But its the middle of the afternoon, " Melody said to him " I have to move my stuff into my new apartment, " I said " Move? " Ruku asked me " Yeah new Herns live in there unit together, " I stated " Wait your a Hern?! " Hana said, Ruku looked at me " Yeah, " was all i could say " Congrats, " Ruku said " That's amazing! you had to be super lucky to get it! " Hana said as she jumped up and down in happiness " That's why we should go to the moon cafe! " Hotaru " I agree, " Hana said, Ruku shrugged but he also agreed " Fine we'll go then we can help you move, " Melody said " You don't have to i don't have much stuff, " I said " Don't worry this isn't the first time we saw your small apartment, " Hotaru said. I sighed but smiled, even if i didn't like getting help all the time i knew my friends still wanted to help. Even when it was the middle of the afternoon.
