You are not the Jet Black Wing

Laughter. That was all the graduate could hear as he walked away from the school. No. He shouldn't be upset. After all, this was the last time that he'd see this place again. He can start a fresh new life, right? It'll be like today had never happened. "Raiden!" There it was again. His dead name being rolled out of someone else's tongue. And that voice. Who could it possibly belong to other than Kaidou Shun. The one that may have quite possibly ruined his life.

Kaidou runs over to his senpai. He's slow. He runs like a girl. And most importantly, he seems to be completely oblivious of how much he had messed up today. Raidou stops in his tracks, waiting for the pipsqueak. Once the white haired male reaches, he plants his hands to his knees and tries to catch his breath, already being exhausted. Sports just wasn't his thing. Yet he has the nerve to call himself the savior of the universe. Perhaps he's a savior in some universe which resided in his mind. Here, he was many things. But surely not a super being. He's just Kaidou Shun. A timid chihuahua that had a hard time making friends and made a good target for trickery for many.

As of now, Raidou kind of wishes he can push Kaidou into a pool of water. After all, he couldn't swim. But no, that would be just too cruel. He tries to contain his emotions. Kaidou then starts to speak as the one and only, Jet Black Wing. "Fufufu, I applaud you for making it this far. We may never see each other again. But always remember that the Dark Reunion will never rest no matter what. So don't let your guard down." He then makes a series of hand signs. "Remember this code. It's our proof of alliance."

"Shut up." Raidou says. "W-what?" Kaidou asks in his timid voice, terrified that his senpai seemed to change. "You heard what I said. I threw that name away ages ago so stop calling me that and start living in the real world! You're not the Jet Black Wing and there is no Dark Reunion." Kaidou gets back into character after he pieces the puzzle together in his mind. "Kukuku... what a twist of fate this is. It would seem like the Dark Reunion has managed to brainwash you. But do not worry, for I, the Jet Black Wing will fix this and give you back what was once stolen."

"If you think everything is real then show me. Show me your power." Raidou says. "You know I can't undo my seal. We have no idea what will happen if comes undone." The Jet Black Wing spoke. Raidou steps closer to him. Kaidou puts his hand forward as if telling him to stop. "Stay back! I don't know what I would do if I lose an ally as worthy as you!" Not listening, his senpai takes a hold of Kaidou's hand and started undoing the bandages. Kaidou shuts his eyes tightly, too scared of what would happen. If Raidou dies, it would be all his fault. He didn't want to see this. At all. But nothing happened.

After that day, nothing was the same. The boy had stopped wearing bandages on his arm and quit being the Jet Black Wing altogether. He was just Kaidou Shun. But at the same time, he wasn't. He always seemed depressed, eyes focused on the ground and whenever Nendou and Aren asked him to hang out, he would decline. This wasn't like Kaidou at all. Kaidou was the type of person that wanted to make friends. But now he willingly put himself in solitude.

Day after day when Saiki entered the classroom, he could hear Kaidou's depressed-filled thoughts. His mother even complained that Kaidou hasn't been paying much attention to his lectures and that his grades were declining in a rapid speed. Kaidou was always one that gave it his all, even when it came to gym, although he's useless at that part in particular. He had wanted to make his mother proud. To live up to her expectations. But if this keeps up, he might be held back in school. Well, at least he'll have Nendou with him unless Nendou by some chance miraculously became smarter. Saiki seriously doubted that can happen.

As much as Saiki appreciated the fact that Kaidou wasn't bothering him anymore, he simply couldn't take the depressing thoughts. That's what he told himself, at least. The tsundere. 'Good grief. I thought Kaidou would recover and perhaps become even better as a person but this needs to end.' Once school had ended, Saiki had crossed his eyes, using clairvoyance to look for this 'Raidou' character Kaidou kept calling him. He read his mind, knowing where he would be later at specific time.

One day at school, Kaidou goes to his locker and receives a letter from Raidou. It was actually Saiki that sent that letter. 'We need to talk. Meet me at this location at this time.' The letter read. 'I wonder what he wants to talk about.' Kaidou thought. Of course, since he was bad with directions, Saiki had used telepathy on Kaidou, sending him the directions. Raidou was currently knocked out since Saiki had chopped the back of his neck with his hand, making sure to control his strength so he doesn't go flying or possibly break a bone or worse.

'I'm going to borrow your body for a bit.' Saiki thought. He made sure his own body was kept hidden before his spirit takes over Raidou's body. 'I have exactly 44 seconds to fix this and return the body before his spirit flies to heaven.' The pink haired esper makes a note in his mind. Kaidou was standing at the meeting point which was inches away and waiting for Raidou. The cool breeze ruffled his hair.

Saiki, now in Raidou's body comes to view. "O-oh, hi Rai- I mean, N-N-N-Nobuaki." Kaidou speaks meekly. He's too afraid to look at him so he looks at the ground instead as if it was the most interesting thing he had ever set eyes on. He was afraid that if he looked up, Raidou would have an angry expression. He was afraid that Raidou would explode on him again.

"You were right. I was brain washed by the Dark Reunion. It was all thanks to you that I'm able to remember who I once was. You are the Jet Black Wing. The thing was, I took away your powers the moment I touched you but I'll give it back now." Raidou approaches Kaidou and started wrapping the bandages around the meek boy's hand. "Remember to never use this or something terrible may happen." There wasn't much time left. He had fixed everything so without waiting for Kaidou's reaction, he had run off to where he had left his own body and gave Raidou his body back.

'I... saved him?' Kaidou thought. 'So it wasn't fake, after all?' There's little sparkles in his eyes as he smiled. Then he scurries away, returning to his old self. Raidou wakes up a few minutes later. 'What was I doing just now? Well, whatever.' He simply shrugs it off and continued his day. Of course, Saiki used telepathy to get Kaidou home safely.  Once he got home, he took his diary that he had previously thrown out, out of the trash can and puts it back under his bed where it rightfully belongs. His mother peeks in through the door and couldn't help but smile that she got her boy back. He was actually studying. The next day... "Can you feel it? The omnious wind is blowing." Kaidou says, actually being the first to start a conversation. Yup, he's back alright.
