You are the light to the darkness [Rantaro x Kaito]

The mysterious dark mage

No one's P.O.V

It was the following morning proceeding Kaito's encounter with the dark mage. His body ached. Their magic did a real number on him. He was hurt, not just physically but mentally as well as he wasn't able to really fight back with all the much success. His pride had been damaged. Kaito wanted to find the mysterious dark mage again and next time he will bring him down for sure.

On the other hand, the cloaked boy that had fought against Kaito was more intrigued by the light mage than anything. It was if he had been drawn to him, much like how a moth is attacted to a flame. Maybe he would seek out the light mage later, find out more about him. What was the worst that could happen?

One thing was certain though, the lighr mage's and the dark mage's paths were fated to cross again in the near future whether they like it or not.

Kaito's P.O.V

I couldn't tell anyone about what happened in the forest yesterday. I would be laughed at for my weakness for sure.

I let out a sign as I laid my head against my desk.

"Kaito, are you feeling okay?" A whispered question was directed at me.

I shifted my gaze to the one who was sat next to me after I lifted my head from the desk slightly.

"I'm fine, Shuichi. Just a little tired that's all." I faked a yawn.

Shuichi Saihara is my best friend/bro and talented water mage. He also has an uncanny knack for figuring out if there's ever anything wrong with me so it doesn't surprise me that he's asking if I'm okay.

The dark haired water mage furrowed his brow, staring me down like he was analysing me. "You're lying aren't you?"

"W-what? N-no I'm not." I shifted my gaze away from Shuichi.

"Your reaction proves that you were lying." He bluntly pointed out.

"Fine you caught me out. I guess I shouldn't have tried to hide anything from you and your detective instincts." I touched the back of my neck.

"So what are you hiding?"

"Well I-" Just as I was starting to explain myself the teacher shouted to us.

"Kaito-Momota-and-Shuichi-Saihara, stop-talking-in-my-lesson-or-I'll-send-you-both-to-the-principle's-office." The robotic sounding green and white bear warned.

The two of us immediately shut our mouths and sat quietly as the lesson continued.

When the lesson finished I knew that Shiuchi will want the answer to his earlier question. He tapped on my shoulder, gaining my attention. "What was you about to say before our sensei spotted us?"

I glanced around the classroom as other mages-in-training were talking among themselves. "Could we maybe go somewhere more private?"

"Oh sure." Shuichi nodded. I stood up from my seat and we left the classroom then walked out into the courtyard.

We found a spot around the corner of the academy building that was quiet and out-of-the-way. Shuichi turned his attention to me and showed that he was listening.

"Okay erm I'm not sure what I should say." I took a moment to gather up my thoughts. "Look before I say anything I want to know that you won't tell anyone."

"I promise I won't." Shuichi appeared serious about the promise.

"Alright. While I was in the forest yesterday I met with a dark mage."I admitted.
