Time for School

Chapter 2

Italics=thoughts

The room was in shambles. Rubble littered the floor, and everything had a fine layer of dust. Ayato was still unconscious, but Laito had begun to recover, slowly standing up. Yui was still crying, clutching onto me for dear life. I started to pat her head comfortingly. "Are you hungry? I know I am!" I said gleefully. She looked up at me, utterly bewildered. She then suddenly started laughing, and agreed. Using my abilities, I quickly cleared up the place. Yui was still utterly shocked, but shrugged it off. She was so brave... And adorable! I had quickly grown fond of her despite our brief encounter. We both went down the luxurious staircase, and made our way to the kitchen. "Would you like some chocolate cake Yui?" I inquired. She swiftly nodded, joy filling her once petrified yet vacant eyes.

We had then arrived. It was a rather large, modern kitchen. Marble adorned the large expanse of counter tops, and there was a stove with a fridge. Yui sat down at the marble counter island, and awaited eagerly. It did not take me long to find everything, and it did not take me long to to start mixing the chocolate with the rest of the ingredients. "Do you wanna' listen to music, Yui?"

"Yes please" she answered feebly, paranoia etched into her innocent face. "There is no need to worry, Yui. I will protect and look after you. I know that we have only just met, but would you like to be my little sister?"

"Yes" she smiled. I did think that this was probably the first time she had been happy in a rather long while. I was happy to at least make her smile. I approached an old radio on the counter and put on the radio. MC Hammer blared out, the amazing song "Can't touch this!" filled my ears. Yui started to sway to the music, and I started swaying my hips from side to side, singing the lyrics. I could hear Yui giggling as I took a wooden spatula and started using it like a microphone. I leaned down, putting the mix into a cake tin, followed by placing into the oven. I then noticed that Yui had stopped singing. I felt dread creep up my spine. I turned around, and I saw Reiji at the doorway, seemingly unimpressed, with a mocking grin displayed on his face. We all were in an awkward silence. It was the Reiji who broke it. "What on earth are you doing?" he asked. "Having a good time. You should try it sometime" I replied sarcastically. Yui giggled, but stopped as his eyes bore into her. I was surprised that no one even confronted me about the other incident. He continued to stare, and it was starting to grate on my nerves. "Why don't you take a picture, it'll last longer. Oh, do you want some cake?"

"Fine.." he stated, as though it was the most mundane activity. I then took out the cake from the oven, and cut out three slices, placing each on a china plate with flowery patterns. Yui was the first one to take a bite. "Wow! Athena, this is the best cake i've ever had!" she said gleefully. I then had a bite of my own. "I've had better." I stated bluntly. I walked out of the room, unaware that Reiji had tried it and had utter disbelief on his face. I just wanted to go to bed. After all, I started night school the next day. I approached my no longer destroyed bedroom, and snuggled into the covers. It was a mere fifteen minutes later when i heard soft footsteps enter my room. I knew it was Yui, and I knew why she was there. All too well. "You can stay in my room tonight if it makes you feel better." She quietly thanked me, as I moved to the other side of the bed and removed my covers, allowing Yui to come in. I did not take long for either of us to fall asleep.

Reiji's POV

That woman mystified me. Her brown hair flowed graciously above her shoulders, and her ever changing eye colour was both intriguing and enchanting. The cake she made was by far the best I had ever tasted, yet she seemed disappointed with it. She was fascinating, and I could not wait to uncover more about this beauty.

Athena's POV

I had finally awakened when I noticed that everyone in the household was in my room. I really needed to lock that door. "Why is there a cult gathering here? And why wasn't I invited" I smiled, stifling a laugh. It was then I heard Yui yawn, and as soon as she noticed everyone she, no joke, eeped. "It is time for school." Reiji stated. I got up, and approached the new uniform. There was a skirt with a shirt (sounded like the beginning of a really bad rap) as well as a bow for my neck. I quickly thanked Reiji for the uniform. "You're cute" Kanato gleamed. He was the same age as Yui (16) and yet he was carrying a teddy bear, with an eye patch. "Thank you..." I trailed off. "What is Silence of the Lambs?" Subaru questioned. I turned around to face him. I was totally gonna' fangirl!
