Chapter 7: A vigilante on the rise. His name is Aura Knight!
Ohashi school girl's point of view.
Friday, October 7, 20XX
Location: Back streets.
Time: Late night.
I was walking home from my side job at a convenience store by being requested by my manager to work a little extra late. It wasn't a problem for me because my home is close to where I worked. The time was ten o'clock at night as it was a fifteen minute walk from home to work each time. So, I didn't worry much. I was about to go passed an alley, until some men pulled me in!
Thug 1: Hey there little lady.
Thug 2: Where do you think you're going this time of night?
I was frightened, afraid by what's happening.
Female Student: I just want to go home... Please...
The three thugs laugh at my predicament as one of them slaps my on the face hard. The pain stings as it leaves a mark on my cheek. I began to cry feeling afraid that I was in this mess.
Thug 2: So, what should we do about her huh?
Thug 3: Seems to have a job considering some students work late at night. She might have some money on her.
Thug 1: Think bigger you idiots,we could have some "fun" if you know what I mean?
The thugs looked at each other as they each understand what their friend meant by that. I was scared at what was going to happen with me
Female Student: No... stay back... Someone...! Help...!
Thug 1: Ah, shut it. Who's going to help around here?
To answer his question, someone answers him.
???: Guess that would be me then, correct?
A voice was heard as we all looked up and saw a person on the roof top. The voice sounded like a man as his figure being shown in the in front of the moon as what appeared to be a scarf being blown in the wind. He had his arms crossed with a hood up over his head. He could be seen wearing a trench coat.
(Insert Kirihirake! Gracie☆Star here)
Thug 2: What the-? Who the hell are you buster?!
The man up top looks at the thug. He then unfolds his arms and points towards the thugs as if giving a glare down at them.
???: I'm only going to tell you this once... Either beat it, or face what's coming to you. If you don't leave the girl alone right now, you'll regret it.
The thugs look at the male above as they began to laugh at his words.
Thug 3: You? You think you can take the three of us on? You got to come down here in order to do that pal!
???: That... can be arranged.
We all look at the person as they do a slight jump off the roof top. The four of us each had a shocked look seeing that he seems crazy on jumping as he did a flip in the air on the way down. Though to our surprise, he lands in a crouched position and stood right back up like it was nothing to him. The thugs looked at each other as if thinking, "What the hell did we just see?" To be honest, I was thinking the same also.
???: So, am I gonna have to walk over to where you three are? Or are you too chicken to come at me first? Either way, you chose your fate.
Thug 1: Okay, now you've done it!
Thug 1 rushes towards the mysterious person with his hands in his coat pockets as the thug approaches him. The thug pulled back his fist and was about to hit the man, but missed him. The person had stepped to the side and dodged the punch, but the thug kept swinging at the person to get a hit off him. The person kept dodging from hooks, jabs, straight punches and a roundhouse kick.
Thug 1: You going to just run?! Or are you going to fight damn it?!
???: Suit yourself.
Upon ducking a left hook punch from the thug, the person crouched down and then does a back-flip kick to the thug's chin to launch him slightly into the air. The person lands on their feet, while the thug was knocked out from the one hit and lands on their back unconscious. ONE HIT! Just who was this person??
Thug 2: Oh, shit! Okay pal, now you're dead!
The second thug pulls out a knife and charged in towards the person who took out their friend. The same thing was happening before, but just slightly faster as the second thug was swinging a knife. The knife could be heard taking swishes through the air as the thug tried to slash and stab the man that knocked out the thug's friend. Pulling out his hands, the figure had black leather gloves on as he spinned to the right to dodge a stab made toward him. He took the thug's arm as he delivered a punch to the thug's arm. The thug yelled in pain as he dropped the knife on the ground and was holding his arm. The figure then took the thug's arm and threw him over his shoulder and sent the man crashing into a wall, knocking the second thug out.
Thug 3: Uh... Um...
The person then looked at the last remaining thug in question as some (A/c) glowing eyes could be seen from the mysterious person now. The third thug began to walk backwards away from me as the mysterious hero who was taking the thugs on, was slowly walking towards us. Feeling threatened on not wanting to be taken out like his friends, the thug pulled out a gun and aimed it at the person in question. The hero stopped walking as he looked at the gun the thug was holding and sighed.
???: You really don't want to do that dumbass... In that head of yours, it's telling you that you want to shoot me, but your instincts on how this plays out is telling you differently. I will say this: I've got half a mind that wants to beat you up like your friends over there... and the other half agrees with it... It's your choice.
Thug 3: Shut up you piece of shit!!
The thug fires the gun a few times as I scream from the noise being made. I could hear some sounds being made as it sounded like bullets were being deflected. But that couldn't be right... The person didn't have a weapon. When I looked at the mysterious hero again, what I saw next blew my mind. In his hands, looked like two small blades made of what looked like energy in each hand. The person was in a stance as he dashed forward to the thug, who then fired more shots at the person. The person holding the energy blades cut and blocked each shot made towards him and when he approached the thug, he cut the gun's barrel chamber with one swing. The thug looked completely scared at this point as he looked at the person who fought with him and his thug buddies. The mysterious person seemed to be smaller than the thugs in height when compared up close, but height didn't matter as skill was shown in this fight. The thug screamed and turned around only to crash into a pole to knock himself out. The final thug falls backwards on his back and groans in pain while unconscious.
???: That's one way to take care of an idiot...
The mysterious hero looks at me and approaches me. When he gets close enough, I could see the glowing (A/c) eyes the person gave off, but couldn't see his face due to the hood shadowing his face. The scarf he had on was resting on his shoulders and not blowing in the wind like it did before.
Female Student: W-Who are you...?
???: Someone who was passing by. Heard you scream and saw this happening from up there. Could have walked away, but then I would have a guilty conscious about this mess. So, I did what was right and helped you out.
I looked at him in wonder on who he is. How could he be able to do all of this and not get one scratch on him??
???: That looks painful from what that thug did to you... Does it hurt?
I wonder what he meant until I remembered the thug hitting me, when I touched the left side of my cheek the thug hit me on, it stung with pain. Seeing my reaction, the person reached out towards me as I flinched slightly, wondering what he was going to do.
???: I can make the pain go away. That is, if you want me to?
I looked at the person wondering what he meant as I relaxed and let him get closer. I could see some light emanating from his hand as he then placed his hand on my cheek. It hurt slightly at his touch, but in the next few seconds, the pain was gone. I touched my cheek to see if there was pain, but there wasn't!! It was if it didn't happen!
Female Student: H-How did you-?!
???: That's my secret I can't tell... Call the police and have them come pick up the trash. When I start hearing them, that's when I'm leaving... I'll stay until they arrive.
So, I did just that. I called the police and then waited ten minutes for the officers to come. The mysterious hero stayed with me until the police cars could be heard. When that happened, the figure began to walk.
Female Student: Wait!
I rushed up to him and took his wrist as he then looked back towards me.
Female Student: Who are you??
The person looked up to the moon and then back towards me as he told me his name.
???: Call me... Aura Knight.
As the sound of the police vehicles came closer, the now named hero Aura Knight yanks his hand free from my hold as he jumped up to grab hold of the fire escape and then up to the roof tops. His silhouette was seen in front of the moon before he head off to who knows where...
Noire's point of view.
Saturday, October 8, 20XX
Location: Ohashi High, Class 2-C
Time: Lunch.
Lunch time finally came around as the students got up and to do their own things before lunch is over. (Y/n) looked really tired this morning as he had left a note on the table this morning. The note he wrote said "Please help wake me up in the morning if any of you find this note first. I couldn't sleep last night due to being up really late... I had to go somewhere to get some peace and quiet to think without Neptune's yelling while working on my homework. Glad the Principal was able to relinquish my suspension by a day. Can't wait to go back to school with you girls and our friends! - Love (Y/n)." This wasn't (Y/n)'s first time being out late at night though. (Y/n) had been out a few times and let us know if he was going to be late for dinner by calling his mother. He stayed out extra late last night and we all went to bed without him... Kinda made us worried somewhat because of it.
Noire: (Thoughts) What did he do to stay up so late last night??
I could hear (Y/n) yawning as Blanc rubbed his back to help wake him up slightly better with a smile on his face.
(Y/n): Thanks Blanc... That feels nice...
Blanc: You're welcome (Y/n).
Walking over with Neptune, Vert, (F/n) and Emma, we decided to eat in the classroom for once to not head for the roof today. It was currently raining outside and we didn't want to get wet outside.
(Y/n): Damn rain... Always make me tired and loopy hearing the sounds... *yawn*
(F/n): Why don't you get up and get something to drink? Maybe a good walk to the vending machine and back will do you a good solid.
(Y/n): Yeah... Anyone want something while I'm going there? Speak now, or forever hold your peace.
Noire: This isn't a type of wedding you know... You're just going to get a drink...
(Y/n): But you wish it would be. *snickers*
I blush heavily at (Y/n)'s words as I smacked him up over the side of his head. (Y/n) rubbed his head as he gave me that silly look he always had. I could hear Neptune giggling with (F/n) at what was happening as I sighed.
Noire: I-Idiot...! D-Don't go just saying s-stuff like that! Especially near our friends and in public at most...!
(Y/n): That doesn't mean you say no~
(Y/n) said that last word with a playful voice while I gave him a look with my hand raised ready to smack him again. (Y/n) then raised both of his hands to protect himself.
(Y/n): Okay, okay. I'm stopping now, no need to hit the idiot twice.
Noire: Good. I sometimes don't know what to do with you, ya know that?
Blanc: Since when could we?
(F/n): Even me and Emma are still trying to figure him out.
Emma: Uh huh.
(Y/n): Okay! I get it, I'm a silly dummy trying to have fun! Sue me!
Some of us laugh at the funny moment as Neptune walked over to (Y/n) and wrapped her arms around his head and leaned against his body. This gained (Y/n)'s attention as he looked at Neptune.
Neptune: Hey, I got no problem with how (Y/n) acts. If he brings a smile to my face, I'm going to have a Nep-tastic day!
(Y/n): Okay, okay. Calm down now Neptune, I'm going down the hall now. Be right back.
(Y/n) then got freed from Neptune's grip as (Y/n) exited the rows and headed for the door. Some of the students nearby the door gave (Y/n) a weird look until he left the room and went down the hall. To better explain, it still wasn't a good thing for some students. Back on the day when the dodgeball tournament happened, people were somewhat cautious to be around him now. The outburst (Y/n) experienced made him lose any recollection of what happened. Ever since then, they try to keep to themselves and not speak to (Y/n).
(F/n): Even though it's been two weeks since that incident, people won't forget it...
Emma: It's because of Johnathan... He's trying to use what happened to have the other students be against (Y/n) even more now... Usually, people would give a slight wave, but now... It's gotten this bad...
Vert: Poor (Y/n)...
I was feeling the same as them. For (Y/n) to lose trust in more students in the school, I feel bad for (Y/n) because he didn't mean for that to happen. (Y/n) wouldn't just go hitting someone without a good reason and at a better time to vent his frustrations. (Y/n) had acted like Dionix back in Planeptune when we were all being weakened by the Anti-Crystal field. Why would he lose control like that and do that?
Noire: It still worries me somewhat on why (Y/n) went berserk like that... It was a surprise to us that Johnathan did that to Blanc, but...
Blanc: Yeah... Even I'm still trying to figure that out... Something happened to (Y/n) that triggered him to go acting like that. What happened was that he saw my blood I think. Though I don't know why it would trigger him on a large scale to let loose like he did...
Neptune: Yeah... (Y/n) went nuts on the field that day... I wish we could figure out the reason behind that sudden out burst...
(F/n): (Y/n) will tell us in time. It's probably something he's still trying to figure out himself also. Knowing him like I do, he's probably trying to figure that out himself more than anyone. It isn't like him to just beat someone up or even treat someone like that. At most, (Y/n) would say insulting words to get under people's skin, but nothing that would be big and too offensive.
We all sighed at the problem that was happening as we couldn't ascertain a reason for (Y/n) acting like Dionix. Knowing we can't figure it out now, we all decided to change the topic as Vert was first to change it.
Vert: (Y/n)'s been out late recently in the past few days. Last night, he called home telling us that he would be out a bit longer than usual. We tried staying up longer to see if he would come home safely, but Iris made us head to bed due to it being a school night...
(F/n): Really? That's kinda odd of him.
Emma: Yeah... Should we ask him when he gets back?
One of us was about to agree until we began to over hear a conversation by accident as some students were gathered near each other.
Female Student 2: No way! That happened to you?! That doesn't even seem physically possible!
Female Student: Yeah! You wouldn't believe me unless it actually happened to you!
Male Student: So, what happened?
Female Student 1: I was working late last night and I was walking home. Some thugs grabbed me and pulled me into an alley and I didn't even know what to do in that moment... But that's when, "He" came.
The girl had sighed as if being in love with someone.
Female Student 2: He? Who came??
Female Student 1: Aura Knight. Aura Knight was his name.
As we were overhearing the story being told by the student this had piqued our interest to keep listening. Apparently someone had saved this girl last night and saved her from being mugged. But to go by the name of Aura Knight? It was odd.
Vert: Aura Knight??
Neptune: And he showed up just last night to help that student? Weird...
Noire: I thought (Y/n) said that those that uphold the law here, like police men or those with actual training handled stuff like that?
Emma: Yeah, that's correct. Though this is the first time hearing someone else take charge...
(F/n): Spooky if you ask me...
Blanc: Shh, quiet. They're about to keep talking.
We focused our attention back to the group as they continued on with their conversation.
Male Student: Well, don't keep us waiting. What happened next?
Female Student 1: When Aura Knight arrived, he was on top of a building with the moon behind him. The thugs didn't take him seriously, but that changed when he just jumped off the roof and landed on the ground as if it was nothing to him!
CPUs, (F/n) and Emma: Huh?!
Female Student 2: That's insane!
Male Student: Okay, this story is getting good.
As we continued to listen, the student in our class kept talking, explaining the feats this Aura Knight person did. He had knocked one of the thugs just by kicking him in the head, throwing another one into a wall after dodging knife slashes and that wasn't all yet that surprised us yet.
Female Student 1: When he got to the last thug, he tried to bring some sense to that person of what he could do. But the thug wouldn't listen as he pulled a gun out. When he fired at Aura Knight I was really scared of hearing the gun shots. When I looked back to see if Aura Knight was okay, the most incredible thing I saw next happened!! He had deflected the bullets with blades made of energy!! He was so amazing that he charged in and then just cut the gun off to stop it from working again. The thug ran into a pole and knocked himself out without Aura Knight doing a thing to him. Aura Knight then came to check on me and noticed I was hurt.
Female Student 2: You were hurt?? But I don't see any marks or anything on you.
Female Student 1: That's because he healed it up! He touched my cheek that I got hurt on when he did and I felt slight pain from the pressure, but then it was gone! He healed it up like it didn't happen!! After calling the cops like he requested, I asked for his name, he gave what I told you, and went back to the rooftops to who knows where! He was like a real superhero!! Though... I didn't see his face. All I could depict from him that Aura Knight had a hood up, a trench coat, a scarf and glowing (A/c) eyes.
Our group had our jaws wide open with eyes of shock when the student finished her story. We all looked at each other as we began to discuss what we heard.
Noire: Healing abilities...
Neptune: Jumping from rooftops and landing without getting hurt...
Vert: Fast reflexes...
Blanc: And blades made of energy??
(F/n): Are you four thinking what me an Emma are thinking...?
Emma: On three, say who we think it is... One, two, three...
CPUs, (F/n) and Emma: (Y/n)???
It made sense, (Y/n) was able to do all that stuff just like what we heard from what we discussed up to date when we explained to our friends from what happened before coming here. Could that be what (Y/n)'s been doing this whole time being out late at night?? If so, is that the reason why the sudden appearance of this "Aura Knight?" Before I could think any further, (Y/n) had returned and sat next to Blanc again.
(Y/n): So, what did I miss? There was a line at the vending machine, took forever for a student to pick a drink...
Blanc: We were just discussing some stuff to learn more about your world.
(Y/n): Really?
Vert: Yes, each dimension has its own history to tell considering each world is different.
I give the two a look as they each gave me a signal back. Clearly we shouldn't talk about what we heard about while (Y/n) was gone on what we heard.
Noire: Yeah, like, what places are there to explore in your world?
(Y/n): Hmm... Well, there's Paris with the Eiffel Tower, Italy's Leaning Tower of Pisa, and many more with historical land marks. Also-
Seeing that (Y/n) didn't catch on with what we were actually talking about, it was safe to assume we were able to let it slide for now. Though it does keep racking around in our groups head about why (Y/n) was out late and decided to call himself as Aura Knight?? Lunch ended as everyone went back to their seats. Ms. Koigakubo had an announcement to say to the class.
Ms. Koigakubo: Okay class. It's that time of year again for the Autumn festival for the school. What should we try and do for our class to present this year?
Some students weren't enthusiastic to be doing it as none of them raised a hand. No one except (Y/n), as he had an idea formed in his head and a smile on his face.
(Y/n): I say we do a stand up comedy act this year in groups. Let each group act out something funny with their friends and give a show for everyone to see. How about it?
Ms. Koigakubo: All in favor of doing (Y/n)'s idea for group comedy acts?
(F/n): I'm down for it. Knowing (Y/n) when he gets an idea, he goes all out with it.
Emma: I'm kinda curious as well for what he has planned. Count me in on it.
One by one others began to just accept it as well with Neptune, Blanc, Vert and myself in the process. With the majority vote being for (Y/n)'s idea, a comedy act would ensue as each group would come up with an idea for how they perform. Our group was made up with our friends as it was me, Neptune, Blanc, Vert, (Y/n), (F/n) and Emma. Making it a total of seven people in our group. (Y/n) had a skit thought up on what he wanted to use which was called "Last Will and Temperament - By The Frantics". Though, (Y/n) told me not to get Emma's measurements for some reason. Said that he has something else planned for Emma to do doing the show. The date for when we had to perform our act was on October eighteenth, so we had ten days to get what we needed together and ready before then. The day proceeded as normal until school ends for the day with the sound of a ringing bell. During school, the rain had stopped falling when we made our way outside.
(Y/n): See you girls back at home later.
Neptune: Huh?? You're not coming home with us??
(Y/n): Yeah... Sorry... I really need to be somewhere right now... I promise to be home sooner this time tonight girls...
(Y/n) gave an apologetic bow towards us as he then began to walk somewhere else. (F/n) then huddled around us and got everyone close.
(F/n): (Whispers) I say we follow him. See where he's going.
Emma: (Whispers) You mean spy on (Y/n)??
(F/n): (Whispers) Yeah, of course Emma! Plus, with this Aura Knight just showing up just last night and with how (Y/n)'s been acting, doesn't this qualify something is up?!
Our group gave it some thought as we all nodded at the facts at hand.
Noire: (Whispers) It does seem weird of (Y/n) to be going off somewhere right after school... Where could he be going to anyway? The note he left last time did say he needed a quiet place last time...
Blanc: (Whispers) Maybe the library?
Vert: (Whispers) Well, we're not going to figure it out if we keep guessing... If we don't start moving now, (Y/n) is going to get away.
Neptune: (Whispers) Should I get some cardboard boxes for all of us then?
The group except for Neptune: (Whispers) NO!!
Neptune: (Whispers) O-Okay... Calm down...
Neptune's point of view.
Location: Downtown.
Time: After School.
(Y/n): Hmm... What to choose...
Beginning our spying mission, we followed (Y/n) downtown to a fast food joint to see (Y/n) looking at a menu. After deciding what he wants, (Y/n) goes to the cashier to order his food and wait for it to be brought out to him. While he was waiting, we were outside peeking in to keep track of (Y/n).
Neptune: A burger joint huh? Seems like a place for (Y/n) to eat.
(F/n): (Y/n) sometimes comes here when he wants a snack. Nothing unusual about that.
Emma: Though, wouldn't he get hungry sometime soon? Can't be able to do stuff on an empty stomach if that's the case. Everyone needs to eat before doing something.
Noire: Maybe to fill himself up before doing what we heard in class today?
Blanc: Who knows... That's why we're following him to find out.
Vert: Duck out of the way...! He's coming...!
We freak out and duck into some bushes nearby as (Y/n) exits from the fast food joint and continue on his way to somewhere else. We each pop our heads out one by one until (Y/n) is a good distance away from us.
(F/n): Jesus on a bike... that was close...
Emma: Good job keeping a look out Vert...
Vert: Why, thank you Emma.
Noire: Come on, let's keep up to where (Y/n)'s going.
After getting out of the bushes, we follow (Y/n) to a park as he takes a seat down by a bench. He takes out a burger he had bought and happily eats it with joy. While he was eating the burger, we were sitting at a table from a distance to observe (Y/n).
(F/n): The park huh?
Emma: Pretty relaxing place to go to actually.
Vert: It does seem to have that sort of vibe to it.
Neptune: Almost reminds me back at Planeptune. People running around, having picnics, playing games and other stuff.
Blanc: A good place to read a book as well if given the time.
(F/n): This park is also a good place to hang out with some friends sometimes. In fact, (Y/n) and I got to know Emma more in the park after helping her out from almost getting hurt by Johnathan and his crew last year.
Noire: Really?
Emma: Yeah. Would you girls like to know?
Me and the other CPUs nodded our heads as Emma told her story from how she met (Y/n) and (F/n).
Emma's story.
It was a year ago that I started learning at Ohashi High. Being a new student at school, is scary at times when you go somewhere else. Having to move to a new home, a new town and a new place to learn... Makes you feel like you're a total stranger in a place you never been to. Though, (Y/n) and (F/n) welcomed me with open arms I had fun with them as they brought joy by being themselves. But it wasn't fun at times when it involved with Johnathan... He would try and just do whatever he wanted to others and no one would do a thing. When Johnathan and his crew stopped me one day, I wanted to run away, but couldn't because I was surrounded by them... If I didn't comply with what they wanted by giving my money to them, they would hurt me...
Though, it didn't happen as (Y/n) and (F/n) jumped in to get me out of there. (Y/n) had told (F/n) get me away from where they were while (Y/n) stayed behind to keep them there. When it died down, (Y/n) was on the floor in pain and was badly bruised from the encounter. Me and (F/n) helped (Y/n) up and carried him to the nurses office to get some help for (Y/n) to heal some of those wounds.
After leaving school, we stopped at this park and just enjoyed our day together by sharing stories. We watched clouds go by, sat under the shade of a tree, ate some ice cream, and looked up at the night sky when it was dark. Just talking with (Y/n) and (F/n) brought a smile to my face being with them. After that day, I knew I made two great wonderful friends. We hung out together, kept (F/n) from embarrassing himself at times, played games together and many more. With those two being by my side as I was to them, we knew we could overcome anything together as nothing would break us apart.
Neptune's point of view.
Blanc: That's some story Emma.
Emma: Thanks Blanc.
Noire: Guess (Y/n) liked to help people whenever he could or if his friends were in danger.
(F/n): Yeah. There's a code we three we stand by together: "Never alone and never afraid.-"
Emma: "-Never leave a friend's side, no matter what."
Neptune: Now that's a cool phrase to go by.
Vert: Guess we can see why (Y/n) helped us all those times in Gamindustri. Even though (Y/n) was separated from you two, he still lived by the code you three went by.
This sparked some reason to me, Noire and Blanc as (Y/n) had his reasons for helping those close to him.
Noire: From the facility-
Blanc: -to my book release-
Neptune: -and to when coming to help us when we were captured while also having to fight us as well...
(F/n): Yup. All (Y/n) wants to do is help his friends whenever he can. No matter what kind of position he's in, he'll always jump in to protect those close to him. Get a big fat idea in his head, and he'll see through what he comes up with to the end.
We each smile at the memories we made with (Y/n) during our time in Gamindustri. (Y/n) followed the code he and his friends made together, even if in another dimension. While our group was having fun, I had noticed something important that our group wasn't doing at the moment.
Neptune: Um... Who's watching (Y/n)??
We all went wide eyed as we quickly looked back over to where (Y/n) used to be, as he was gone now. Blanc slammed her fists onto the table and had an annoyed look on her face.
Blanc: Augh..! Son of a bitch...!
Noire: And we lost (Y/n), just like that.
(F/n): We have been talking to each other and forgot we were spying on him... Crap...
Vert: Back to the drawing board...
Noire: Yup. I thought we could trail that idiot around, but nope, we lost him that easily. Honestly, I don't know what goes through that head of his sometimes. (Y/n)'s sometimes like, "I'm funny and smart at the same time and I can come up with witty remarks to get out of sticky situations. I can scare a little girl reporter with words alone, because I got it from my mom when growing up."
After Noire did some impressions of (Y/n), we gave some laughs at how she did it. We all then sighed and hunged our heads down as we failed on trying to follow (Y/n) to where he was going or what he was doing. When I look back up, I find (Y/n) rising up behind Noire slowly with a smirk on his face as my eyes go wide in shock seeing this. Noire notices my reaction and has a confused look on her face from how I'm acting.
Noire: Huh? What's wrong Neptune? Why are you looking at me like that?
(Y/n) puts a finger over his mouth to signal me to be quiet as everyone else seems to notice (Y/n)'s presence now, except for Noire. While (Y/n) was behind Noire, he seemed to be getting ready for something. Though... I have a guess what he's going to do...
Noire: What? Is there something on my face? What is it??
Neptune: Uh...
(F/n): Um...
Vert: Well you see...
Emma: There's...
Noire: What is everyone looking at?! Just tell me!!
Blanc: Take one REALLY good guess...
Noire wondered what Blanc meant and then had a look of annoyance as something dawned on her.
Noire: (Y/n)'s standing right behind me... Isn't he...?
As if on cue, (Y/n) quickly puts both hands on Noire's shoulder quickly and makes a loud sound.
(Y/n): YEEEEEAAAAAHHHHH!!!
Noire: EEK! AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
Noire could be be seen as she jumps up high in fright while (Y/n) was laughing hard at what he did. Can't say that I didn't join in on it, because it was hilarious! When Noire finally comes back down, (Y/n) catches her in his arms bridal style. Noire was shivering and had a look of fright on her face while having her arms wrapped around (Y/n)'s neck. When Noire realizes what she is doing, she looks at (Y/n) who has a smirk on his face.
(Y/n): Glad to see you back princess. Feeling safe in my arms from the scare I gave you?
Noire blushes deep shades of red as she hits (Y/n) in the head a few of times while (Y/n) made a sound with each hit.
Noire: Put me down you idiot!! Put me down right now!!
(Y/n): O-Ow! Ow! OW! Okay, okay! Stop hitting me!
(Y/n) quickly puts Noire down on her feet as she brushes her skirt down to tidy herself up. Noire then turns around, slaps (Y/n) in the face as a red mark could be seen and he then falls to the ground from the hit.
(Y/n): OW!! Okay, I get it! I had that coming! You're mad at me! I get the hint!!
Noire: Serves you right for scaring me like that out of nowhere (Y/n)! How did you even get behind us so quick without us even noticing?!
(Y/n): I saw you all sitting here and just talking about something when I thought I separated from you six for the day. I used the moment you all took your eyes off of me, and carefully sneaked behind you. Care to tell me why you all are following me due to Noire's statement? Or does the idiot need to keep wondering why? Oh wait, I know... Should I, make more witty remarks and remind you all why I am my mother's son to begin with!?
We were all quiet as we couldn't come up with a good reasonable explanation to get out of this mess, for we were actually caught spying on (Y/n). (Y/n) pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed at our silence.
(Y/n): Look. I don't know why you all are following me, but I have to get going. See you later everyone. Later loves.
As (Y/n) was saying bye to us again, he each gave peck on mine, Noire's and Blanc's foreheads while we each produced a blush as a reaction. (Y/n) waves at us while walking off and puts his hands in his pockets, making his leave in the process. We sighed in defeat, knowing now we've been caught following (Y/n). For ten minutes we sat in silence, trying to think of what else to do next as I decided to break the silence.
Neptune: It was funny how Noire yelled and flew up so high when (Y/n) scared her.
Noire: Don't make me hit you too Neptune!
Our group laughed just slightly from Noire's reaction, until Emma spoke up next.
Emma: So, what now? We can't continue to follow (Y/n) as he caught onto us...
Vert: That is true... We just wanted to know what he's been doing...
(F/n): Yeah... But knowing (Y/n), he'll try to hide it until he comes clean himself. He always has his reasons and crap... Oh well...
Noire: Well, if we can't continue to spy on (Y/n), what should we do now? We're already out in the city and such.
(F/n) thought for a minute and then snapped his fingers at an idea.
(F/n): I got an idea. How about this one place Emma, (Y/n) and myself go to sometimes?
CPUs: Hmm?
Vert's point of view.
Location: Jonny's
Time: Evening.
We arrive at a local dinner that (F/n) and Emma brought us to. The diner was called Jonny's as it had a pole sign with the name and another sign on the building itself.
Vert: Jonny's?
Emma: Yeah, we come here sometimes with (Y/n).
Blanc: It does seem to attract a good amount of customers.
Noire: Let's head in. We're already here, might as well check it out.
After walking up the steps and into the diner, there were some people here and there that had been seated, deciding what to order or already eating. There were some waiters and waitresses going around the diner at the time. Either taking orders or taking the ordered food to the tables.
Neptune: So, we just have to wait until someone comes to us and finds a good place for us to sit?
(F/n): That's how it works.
Emma: It shouldn't take long. They don't look very busy at the moment, a good business speed at most for this place right now.
???: Sorry for the wait. Welcome to Jonny's, how can I- AHH! Why are you all here?!
https://youtu.be/pMZvI_RzfzM
We all looked at who was addressing us as we then became shocked. Who we encountered, was actually (Y/n) who we've been trying to follow today! (Y/n) looked what appeared to be wearing a vest and pants colored orange, while his button up shirt and shoes were white with his hair combed neatly. (Y/n) had a shocked look on his face from seeing us at this place.
CPUs, (F/n) and Emma: (Y/n)?!?!
Noire: Why are YOU here?!
(Y/n): Well...! You see...!
(F/n): What's with the clothing you're wearing?! You even fixed your hair to look more neat! What is going on here?! I need answers!
Blanc: I'm no Noire... but even I know those colors don't work for you (Y/n)...
Neptune: Hahahahahaha! You look like a clown with that get up lover boy!
(Y/n): Hey! Not cool!
Vert: *snerk* My, my. This sure is a surprise indeed. Hahaha.
Emma: Not what I expected to see today to be honest...
(Y/n) gains a tick mark as his eyebrow twitches from being annoyed by everyone's comments.
(Y/n): Grrrrrrrrrr!! I work here you dummies! I got a damn job!!
We process what was said to us as all our jaw drops while (Y/n) has a flustered expression on his face. When we come to realize and processed what (Y/n) said, we went wide eyed at this and was shocked even more.
CPUs, (F/n) and Emma: WHAAAAAAAAAT?!?!
A little later after (Y/n) sat us down, we ordered something simple such as a drink for (Y/n) to get for our group. It was shocking to see (Y/n) taking a side job at this dinner. (Y/n) had returned to our table with our drinks on a platter he was balancing it on and set it down.
(Y/n): Okay... A coca-cola each for Neptune and (F/n), a milkshake each for Emma and Blanc, a tea for Vert and a lemonade for Noire.
CPUs, (F/n) and Emma: Thank you.
I take a sip of my tea that (Y/n) had brought out as it had tasted good. Some of the others agreed with the drinks they each got as they were pleased with their orders as well. I turned my attention to (Y/n) as I asked him a question.
Vert: So, this was where you were heading to? Because you had applied for a job?
(Y/n): Yeah... Pretty much.
(F/n): Why didn't you tell us man?
(Y/n): I have my reasons why I started working. I don't need to tell you all on what I do.
Noire: Does it have to do with anything recently? Involving with late night work?
Blanc: For example, Mr. Aura Knight?
(Y/n) was quiet for a minute and then sighed at what Blanc said.
(Y/n) So, that's what this is about... The whole follow me around town mess. I get it now. Okay, scooch over, let me sit down.
Neptune moves over to open some space as (Y/n) takes a seat next to her and sighs.
(Y/n): I didn't start working here to do that. I didn't even think about doing that at all. It just happened suddenly.
Vert: Then, what about the girl you saved last night? She was in our class and explained what happened to her with some of her friends.
(Y/n): I was working late as I was tasked with closing up the diner for the night. When I finally got some of the other work done that I was tasked to do, I closed up and headed home. That's when I saw the girl being pulled into the alley by those thugs. I know I couldn't just appear with what I had on, so I had to think of something quick. Going to the nearest clothing store, I bought a trench coat and some gloves. I then proceeded to the rooftops and changed into my combat attire by switching them out with the clothes I previously had on I keep secretly in my bag.
Noire: Why?
(Y/n): If I was seen in my work clothes, someone would know I worked at Jonny's. With the clothes Histoire had upgraded for me back in Hyper dimension, no one knows about them for except us. I donned the hood my clothes had, put the scarf Noire made for me around my neck, equipped a pair of goggles to cover my eyes, and added the trench coat and gloves to the mix. The gloves are meant to not leave finger prints for the police to find. Couldn't take the chance of them accidentally finding them if I touched the enemy with my bare hands. Plus, it pays to be prepared at times.
Emma: And after you saved the girl, she asked for a name and you thought the first thing which was Aura Knight?
(Y/n): Yeah, pretty much correct on that. Just expected to keep going and leave without any names and such. Trust me, I had no intention of doing any of this at all. But when someone is in trouble, you can't just ignore it when you can do something about it. Right?
We all looked at each other and then sighed. In some sense, (Y/n) was right. When knowing you can make a difference for someone's life, you can either act now and help them in their time of need or keep going to let them suffer.
Vert: Well either way, it was a good thing you did to help someone when the police weren't there to help at the time.
(Y/n): Something had to be done, and of course I let the girl call the cops to take those thugs away. If I had used my phone, the police could track it back to me. Don't want weird rumors popping up or people wanting to know that was me. If that girl knew that was me... Heh... you all saw how the students look at me now... Multiply that times ten, and you would feel an outcast at that point. Gives another reason for Johnathan to ruin my life and use it against me here...
There was some truth to what (Y/n) said. With what happened a couple weeks ago, the students haven't left that incident behind them. If they know someone like (Y/n) has powers and what he could do, no one would look at him the same EVER again. The only people he would be able to trust is his friends, those he loves, his family and me who he considers a big sister to him. (Y/n) sighed as he wrung his fingers through his hair and looked at us and brought a smile back to his lips.
(Y/n): I have a different reason for working here, but I don't wish to talk about that right now. My mother and father knew I was working here, but for a good reason. In due time I will explain, and then... It'll be worth the hard work.
(F/n): Worth the hard work for what?
(Y/n): Like I said my compadre, that is for me to know, and for you to never find out until I say so.
Boss: (L/n). Chat with your friends later. Some tables need to be washed.
(Y/n): On it boss! Got to go, see you later tonight if I can girls. Later.
(Y/n) got out of the seating booth and rushed off to continue his job due to his boss calling on him. I smiled and watched (Y/n) get back to work on his job to earn his pay. Though it does make me wonder why (Y/n) is taking a job up, but just leave it at that. A wonder until he tells us himself. No need to delve deeper into something until a reason is found or explained by the person themselves.
(Insert Orange here)
Vert: I think it's best we should get going. Now that we know what happened, our questions have been answered for now. (Y/n)'s busy working and with us here, we'll probably distract him.
Neptune: Huh? What do you mean by that Vert?
Vert: Considering we are (Y/n)'s friends, let alone three of us in the group are his girlfriends, he needs to focus on his job for now. Meaning we should get going soon.
The three knowing who I was talking about, thought about it for a minute and then agreed to it. We all looked to (F/n) as he then wondered why we were staring at him. When he realized why we were staring at him, he had a look of defeat on his face and searched for his wallet.
(F/n): Oh, man... my money...
Emma: It was YOUR idea to bring us here. So, thanks for treating us ladies (F/n).
(F/n): Don't push it Emma.
After getting the bill, (F/n) had paid for it and left a small tip for (Y/n) to collect as we headed to our respective homes for the day. Whatever the reason he's taking a job, must be something worth working hard for on his own accord.
Chapter 7. End.
