Sky & HE★VENS

More Members to Meet

"And finally, these are the rooms that each of us stay in." The brunette said, finishing the tour. "If you want to look at their rooms then ask for their permission. They'll gladly point out everything."

"So... All seven of you have your own rooms?" Hikari asked.

"Yes. At first we were going to be in pairs, but since each person has their own preferance in room decoration and rules, we decided that perhaps this was best." He explained. "Now with that settled, has Kira shown you both your rooms?"

Hikari nodded. "Yeah. He helped us settled in right after we arrived."

"Alright then." Eiichi let out a frown, though he knew Hikari couldn't see it. "Say, Sk- ... Sorano, any chance you..."

Hikari turned her head at him with a confused expression. Eiichi had his smile back and shook his head. "Nevermind." He took her hand in his. "Well then, angel, let's head back and see how Nanami and Kira are doing."

~~~~~

It's 5 in the afternoon, and just like he said, Eiichi left two hours ago for the talkshow. Now, in the lounge room are four boys that Hikari hasn't met before. She felt their presence from even outside the door and decided to knock.

"Excuse me?" She said, letting herself in.

"So this is the manager? She doesn't look like she's up for it." A rough voice asked with a scoff. He sounded like the type to show himself as the grumpy and though kind of person.

"Hey, don't be like that. She might show off more than just her looks." To her, this one sounded like a flirt. In a different way than Ren does. He sounds more confident and open. A go-with-the-flow type.

"Ehhh she's really cute! Not as cute as me, but still cute!" Another voice said. This one sounded like he wasn't any more than 14 years old.

"The stars have led her to us... We should see what she is capable off." And the last one sounded a lot like Cecil. In a more... Shy kind of way.

"Sora!" She heard Nanami called out to her. "You can sit next to me."

Hikari nodded. She followed where her sound came from and sat beside her. "What's going on?"

"Oh, it's nothing. I was just telling them more about you." Nanami replied. "But where were you the whole time? I haven't seen you since Otori-san took you for the tour."

"Oh, right. I was walking around outside." Hikari said, smiling.

Nanami visibly panicked. "O-outside?! Sora, you shouldn't go around by yourself! Especially in a place you've never been to before!"

"Don't worry so much, Haruka." Hikari giggled. "I told you a bunch of times, I trained my senses. I don't have any problems walking around and still looking like I'm a normal person."

"Yes, but it's still dangerous!" Nanami said, still clearly worried.

Hikari sighed and nodded. "Alright, alright. I'll keep it in mind next time."

"That's what you said the last three times..." She heard Nanami mutter.

Hikari then faced to where the boys sat, in which they were just listening to the girls' exchange. Then she stood up and bowed to them. "My name is Sorano Hikari. Nice to meet you." She straighened her back and continued. "So I assume Haruka already told you guys that I'm blind, right? In that case, don't let it bother you. Please treat me as your equal rather than a handicap."

"Hm... I think I'll call you Ka-chan." The one with the flirty voice said.

Hikari nodded with a smile. "Nickname me whatever you like. I don't mind."

"Well then, Ka-chan, I'm Kiryuin Van!" He replied happily. She can almost feel the flow of the wind in his voice.

"...Hyuga Yamato's the name." The one with the gruff voice said. Ah... The brother of Hyuga Ryuya. Though she remember that Nanami told her that that was a sensitive topic to mention here.

"The cosmically cute idol! Mikado Nagi!" The fourteen year old continued. One of the original HEAVENS trio. Along side Eiichi and Kira.

And the shy one finished off. "Amakusa Shion is my name..." Very closed off. But something about it makes him rather captivating.

Hikari nodded with a smile. She was excited to see what's in store for the rest of the week.

~~~~~

After dinner, Van and Nagi sticked close to her for the rest of the night. They were both constantly showing off infront of her, in which she would just laugh or clap depending on what they did. As for Yamato and Shion, they both preferred to keep their distance and she respects that as well.

As of right now, the two boys are escorting Hikari to her room.

"Hikari!" Nagi called out. "What do you want for tomorrow's breakfast?"

Hikari tilted her head. "Why are you asking me? Also, we just finished dinner, you're already thinking about breakfast?"

"Obviously because you're our guest!" Van replied, ignoring her second question. "Ha-chan is too, but you're the new one. So it'll only make sense for you to choose."

"Haruka ever stayed here?" Hikari asked.

"Eh? Are you kidding me?" Nagi replied. "If she did, Van wouldn't let her go back to STARISH's dorm!" Van only laughed.

"Oh yeah. I heard about it from Ren." Hikari said. "You didn't even hold back. You just immediately asked her out, right?"

Van continued to laugh. "Yup! But I was rejected on the spot! Haha!"

Hikari and Nagi both sweatdrop at him. Most people would've been sad, but this one's just...

Hikari chuckled. "Alright, well I know who to go to if I ever fall in love." She then froze. She felt something twist in her chest when she said that.

"Hikari?"

"Ka-chan?"

Her right hand pressed against her chest as she forcibly swallowed. She took deep breaths and slowly looked up at the other two. "It... Hurts..."

"What's wrong, Hikari?" Nagi asked, worry and curiousity blending together.

"I-I just..." She was shaking visibly and Van held her for support. "... Back then... I was with..." Tears came to her eyes when an old memory came. He doesn't remember...

Van and Nagi exchanged glances and then looked back at her. They decided it was best they head back to her room now, so Van lifted her up bridal style and carried her while Nagi ran ahead and opened the door for them. She was set down on her bed and Nagi closed the door behind him.

Hikari did her best to calm down. She wiped her tears and took deep breaths. About ten minutes later, she regained her composure and sighed. "Sorry about that. And thanks you two."

"Heh, well you gave us quite the scare." Van said with a worried chuckle.

"What happened exactly?" Nagi asked.

Hikari shook her head. "I just remembered someone... That's all..."

"You mean you had a boyfriend?! Did he hurt you?!" Nagi said standing up with big eyes.

Van watched her seriously, but instead she let out a smile. "Not exactly..."
