The two alight from the car. Nara stood next to her uncle waiting and watching, as he pulled out her luggage from the backseat.

“Alright, argh..”
Placing the luggage onto the ground, Hiro slams the door shut! Immediately, Nara proceeds to collect the luggage from him. With the intention of allowing him preserve energy. He'd done so much already, and she didn't want him to stress any further.

“Oh! you wanna carry it yourself?”

“Yep!”

“Are you sure? This is quite heavy!”

Nara playfully rolled her eyes.

“Yes, it's fine. I can carry it
myself.”

“Okay then. Let's go!” He says, gesturing for Nara to walk on ahead.

With each individual step she took, her breathing became heavier and heavier. Everything seemed aligned. She couldn't lie, something felt a bit...'odd', but, in a good way. The force of the winds suddenly elevate, swaying her back length chestnut brown hair. Like cherry blossom petals. Gliding and dancing on the breeze.

„What was she feeling at the moment?...

..Dread?

or....

EXCITEMENT?„

Either way, it was now. Or never!

The two arrive at the gate. Standing infront of it now, it seemed even more massive.
What was this? a secret detainment FACILITY?

-Yeah right. Anyway...

Upon reaching the gates, the two were welcomed by a very tall, slender, but bulky young man. Brimming with an overly enthusiastic smile.

-If you ask me, I'd say he wasn't to be trusted. But don't take my opinion for it. We can never tell what the author has in mind.

Slipping his hands into his trouser pockets, the man gingerly walked up to them.  Hiro used his middle finger to adjust his spectacles. They do that sometimes, perhaps it was the ones he got. Most times without warning they would lose the grip on his skin and fall. Resting on the bridge of his nose. Ultimately making him look like an overburdened, underpaid, fatigued office clerk. Desperately in need of a vacation.

-Hence the time off I suppose?

“Hi! Mr...L---B!?”
Said Hiro, outwardly reading the only two initials on the man's name tag.

-Wonder what they mean.

*Smirks*...

....I bet it's some really embarrassing name.

Hiro places his hand unto Nara's shoulder. As if displaying a precious trophy. Then attempted to introduce the girl.

“This is my nei...”

“You must be Akimitsu Nara! Come on, we've been expecting you. Here, I'll help you with your luggage”

Says L.B, rudely interrupting Hiro. Yet doing so while displaying quite a bit of charm. He didn't even spare the man before him a glance, but rather, he snobbed him and instead trailed his soul piercing gaze all over Nara. Smiling a bit too much at this point. One would think he'd found some lost treasure of the sorts.

*Irritated*...

....??? R--I--I--G--HT. Okay, so...

Nara stood there completely dumbfounded. Not realizing when she'd nodded in agreement.

-Wow! Hormones, a teenagers worst enemy. Hmm. Anyway...

L.B smiled, reaching for her suitcase. His domineering purple eyes commanded submission from Nara's sheepish gaze. Damn he's Hot! Her heart beat seemed to race at a faster pace, as he drew in closer.

-So...he's basically the wattpad fantasy alpha male, that every one apparently, so very much desires!? Even though they all turn out to be a bunch of jerks with a superiority complex? Hmmm..dully noted.

Attempting to retrieve the luggage, L.B grabbed the helm of her suitcase. Their hands brushed onto each other's slightly. At this point Nara was star struck. The two interlocked gazes, only for a few seconds. Yet, it seemed like an eternity. There they were, speaking a million words through silent discord.

*Gagging*...

....Uh, I think I'm gonna be sick! That was SO-O-O-O-O cringe! Ewww.

Perturbed, Hiro quickly intersected their 'bond gazing'.

-Well thank goodness! Not the author throwing in some cliché 'Girl mets badboy bullcrap!'

He shoves his arm in between the two! Clears his throat, and looks at L.B sternly. “How'bout you show us in 'young man'?”.  Hiro inquires, obviously relaying a warning by the sound of his tone. Just so the guy can keep his lust glistening eyes away from his precious niece. Ofcourse L.B wasn't stupid. Anyone from a mile away would be able to sense that Hiro didn't want him anywhere near Nara. Still, he enjoyed emotionally torturing overly protective men like him.

“They are all so pathetic! Constantly worrying and barding these young women from enjoying and experiencing the beauty and pleasures of life! One, overflowing with the nectar which is 'Desire'.”

He'd tell his friends in the red pill gang.

"Hmph. It's only a matter of time before she succumbs to the reality that is 'human nature'. Often times when these girls are overly protected, they tend to wanna break free! Resulting to the three stages of 'Rebellion'.

'Longing!..

Disregard!..

And...Escape!'

Mmm. I can't wait to see how she turns out."

Finally, L.B withdrew from his intrusive thoughts. Flashing a warm but deceptive smile.
“Ofcourse, let's go!” He says, gesturing for them to follow behind him. “Hold on!...After you Ms Akimitsu”. Pleasantly surprised, Nara obliged, and walked ahead before them, -evidently flustered.

-Tsk, tsk, tsk. Just cause he asked you to walk infront? I'm disappointed in her. Terribly disappointed!

Walking ahead, Nara goes through the gates. Leaving the two behind. Hiro tries to move in from the back to catch up with her, but was hindered by L.B's muscular arm resting ever so grandly on his not so impressive chest pump.

-Damn, now we just body shamming the guy.

Looking down at it in surprise, Hiro asked;

“Is...there a problem?”

“Sorry sir, but I'm afraid only enrolled students are allowed in. It is school policy that any parent and or guardian escorting an "Enrolled" is not authorized to go on beyond this gate! So, with upmost respect. Might I suggest you return home?”

Hiro was shocked! Perplexed even. Never in his many years had he ever! heard anything as absurd as that.

-Trust me, this is my first time too. I call cap.

“NANI?????
[WHAT?????]
(どんな?????)”
He thought aloud. Pushing away L.B's arm. Damn! he really needed to get in shape. Hiro rolled up his sleeves for..whatever reason.

-Lol what are you going to do? Fight him? OMG! I laugh in Japanese.

Perhaps he'd only done that to heighten the tension.

-I mean, I didn't feel any of the sorts but, what do I know?  I'm only the narrator.

Or...maybe he was intimidated. Which ever category his emotions fell under. L.B frankly didn't give a shit.

-I wouldn't either. But yet...

In the midst of Hiro preparing to bombard his already tired ears with his displeased rant. L.B walked away. Locking the gates from the inside. The sound of the loud digital security lock boomed! Signaling that Hiro, was trapped outside. With no means whatsoever of getting in. He didn't even get to say goodbye to Nara. The man stood there, short of words. Which was surprising. Though Hiro was a man, his parents often used to say he and his sister switched roles. The man could chat without breaking a sweat.

-If only he'd use that time to go to the gym.

“Hey you boy! Come back here! You think you're so-o-o cool huh? Well, news flash! you're only 'A guard!' Hmph!” After he was done stomping, yelling his throat out and throwing a tantrum awkwardly. In front of the magnificent metallic gate. Hiro pulled down his sleeves.

"What did I plan on doing anyways?" He thought.

*Face slaps*...

...That's what I was wondering man!

÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷

Immediately afterwards, the sound of screeching tyre's came to a halt. Piqued by curiosity, Hiro turns around to inspect the vehicle which had consequently parked next to his. The mini, charcoal black limo sparkled under the suns rays. It looked bedazzling, every corner, hinge, door, window, and tyre slot.  Shone brightly. As if it'd been washed down in the 'Sea of luxury'. There it was, in all it's glory. Upstaging Hiro's 'Office gesture'.

Suddenly, the car door opened. A chauffeur, uniformed  in a stunning blue fitted blazer, embroidered with an elegant crest, grand v-shaped lapels radiantly laced with gold hems on it's seam line, fresh-edge pressed trousers, a neatly tucked white shirt, toppled with a matching cap-bonet made of the same fabric as the blazer. Alighted the car. Walking professionally to the other side. He opened the door, gently helping someone out. Hiro could see a lady dressed in a beautiful sunflower-yellow wrap dress, place her expensive looking foot out the car slowly. As if preparing to be photographed.

-Mmmm Jimmy choo's!?

After helping her, the two waited for someone else to alight. This time, the first to be seen was a pair of the latest 'air Jordan ones', as it came in graceful contact with the ground. Hiro stood there, frozen. His eyes were fixated on them. "Who are they?" he wondered. Till a firm but gentle feminine voice, sprang towards him. Pulling him away from the entrapment of thought.

“Excuse me sir!”

“Huh?”

He blurted out, -utterly confused. Obviously she couldn't have been talking to him, right?

“Um..I've just brought my son. We came here because he's a...”

Briefly shutting out the woman's voice. Hiro inspected the young man standing next to the elegant looking lady. The boy looked at least sixteen or seventeen. His shiny but scruffy silver hair danced in the direction of the wind. His crimson red eyes looked bewildered as he stared intensely at the massive gate before him. However, the boys butter knife jawline, smooth milky white skin, and alluring mystique wasn't Hiro's concern. It was...his height! He looked at least 5 foot 8! That was basically Three feet TALLER than him! Hiro, looked down in distress.

*Amused*...

...Why wouldn't he? first the guard. Now a supposed student!? Ha! He's so self conscious.

“Excuse me... SIR?! I said... ”

Gradually, it had begun to seep in. That feeling he got whenever he was faced with an opponent obviously better equipped, skilled, talented, and ultimately more important than he could ever dream to be, in every possible way imaginable. Once that feeling had reached its peek. He becomes unable to hide his "inferiority complex". Hiro then proceeds to become more irritable, rude, and undermining. And since that happened to be the case right now...The man just snapped! Then said, rather rudely;

“Look lady! I'm not the guard here, okay? So how'bout you go into yo-your fancy, properly equipped, maintained and EXQUISITE looking limousine and GO intimidate someone ELSE!”

*Stunned*...

...In-intimidate? The fuck are you talking about?  She just needs a bit of assistance you could've just...Ya know what? I'm not even gonna bother.

*Uninterested*...

.... It's obvious the author didn't know what next to write. Perhaps even simple 'dialogue' is hard for them. I'm so sorry guys, I can't believe I hyped you all up for this piece of utter balderdash. Y'all can leave, no need to keep reading.

“Welcome Mrs Yuè!” Chorused L.B from out of the blue. Chills began running down Hiro's spin. L.B had literally started talking from right behind him. “Eek! How'd open the gates without a sound you creep?” Menacingly walking pass Hiro, L.B ignored his presence and proceed to meet with the woman whom he'd addressed as Mrs Yuè.

-Oh! He did? Well, sorry. It definitely wasn't made obvious THE FIRST TIME! Sorry if I seem really stressed today. The author happened to get on my nerves.

“Come on in madam, you and your son can follow me.”

“Naniii both of them get to go in???”  Hiro yelled.

*Happy*...

....Ha! I knew it was cap! Pay up author.

Striking a death glare, L.B's eyes seemed to command Hiro's silence. The poor man shrieked, and was  startled, becoming tongue tied all of the sudden. Was he the only one who could feel it? The wicked degree of cold hatred?

L.B's demeanor..It had, changed. It seemed more..hostile and menacing.

WAIT! his eyes...they were...Scary.

Perhaps it was a side of him L.B kept hidden, and used only when he wanted to intimate someone. But who could he be trying to intimidate? Him?

No. Perhaps...The woman? Or...her son. Or...Maybe, it was just his true self briefly making an appearance. No matter what it was. Hiro was gonna give him a piece of his mind!

-Pfffft..I thought he was intimidated? What the hell's going on?

Flashing another smile, this time more enthusiastic than the last time.

*Confused*....

....The fuck? More enthu--? I thought....You literally just wrote a few words ago that....You know what? whatever let's keep reading.

L.B offered to take the young man's luggage.

“May I?”

“Thank you! Er...Mr L.B. You're too kind”

-Errr.. I'm pretty sure he's just doing his job but...Whatever!

“Hēi xīlā lǐ! qǐng dài shàng xìngyùn de xínglǐ.”
[Hey Hilary! Please bring lucky's luggage.]
(嘿希拉里请带上幸运的行李.)

L.B glanced at the silver haired boy. Taking a brief moment to analyze him.

-Why are they all doing that???

His inner rage, -sizzling.
The boy, feeling hostile eyes peering at him, returned L.B's gaze. Only to retract them immediately. His behavior seemed like that of someone uninterested in whatever was going on around him. He folded his arms as if he'd become cold. Ironic, given the fact that his cotton coat snugged unto him warmly. The fact he ignored him made L.B gnash his teeth in obvious displeasure.

Meanwhile, after finally regaining his will to speak, Hiro asked inquisitively; “Hey! I thought you said only the "Enrolled" were allowed to go in!? Did the rules suddenly change?”

Retrieving the boys luggage L.B gestured both mother and son to walk on ahead.

-How many times has this... Mmm lemme say "scene" occurred in this book!?

Mrs Yuè and her son walked passed the now distraught Hiro. He and the boy briefly made eye contact. "At least he doesn't give off untrustworthy vibes like L.B does" he thought.

The gates open, and once again made the digital lock sound. A seemingly smaller, or pint size version of the gate that looked like a regular door, -opened.

-This reminds me of an Anime.

Hiro watched as the two went in. Meanwhile, L.B had been cussing underneath his breath, murmuring to himself in frustration. “Why the fuck is this so heavy? Arrrgh What the fuck did they put in here?”

-Dude, like how is that any of your beeswax?

“That's only one bag! you haven't even carried the rest. Here, I've brought them out the car for you” Said Hilary, the chauffeur. His voice sounded dangerous, yet comforting in the weirdest way possible.

“What?!”
L.B groaned on seeing two more bags, each looked heavier than the first. Yet Mr Hilary found no problem lifting all of them. He didn't even break a sweat. The man himself didn't look, all that. Heck! he sorta looked like a hobo L.B used to be acquainted with. Hiro on the other hand, was joyfully amused by this. Strutting boldly towards him, Hiro sarcastically asks with a hint of mockery in his tone; “You need a hand?” Yes. Hiro may have been a short, wimpy looking man. Not facially though.

-Hmmmm! Yeah you'd better clarify that.

But he was blessed with an ability that came in handy once in a while. When motivated, He could lift even the most heaviest dumbell. That's why  in school, work and at home he was tagged.

SENOHIKUI
DANSEI
RIFUTĀ!

THE
SHORT
MAN 
LIFTER!

(背の低い男性リフター)

Smiling sadistically Hiro asked again “Ya need any help?” Surprised by the offer, L.B turned to face Hiro in the most 'repulsive' way possible. Bubbled with excitement and relief upon hearing those words. Showcasing a huge puppy dog impression L.B drew in sniffles “YES!!!!...PLEASE!”.

*Laughing*...

....Damn! how shameless! Lol.

Hiro didn't know how to react. For the most part he just stood there. Trying to process what was going on. All of the sudden L.B's demeanor changed again. Was he messing around?

Wiggling his waist and placing his hands on his cheeks like a horny ass mother fucker. L.B asked childishly;

“Pwetty pwetty pweeeeease?!”

“Ewwww why are you moving like THAT? STOP!!!! Okay! Let's get this over with”

-Guess the chauffeur decided not to help.

And so with that. The two worked together and we're able to carry the luggage towards the metallic gate.

“Help me lift it up.”

“Huh? Why?”

“Look over there. There's a conveyor belt meant for heavy artillery such as these. Once we've prop it onto the conveyor. The luggage will automatically be sent through the gate, into the luggage depot were it will be collected.”

Hiro nodded in understanding. Then, proceed to help him.

“K. Now..you ready?”

“Mmm!”

“Alright. One..tWo...thrEE!... Arghh Ah!”

They did it.

Dusting his hands against each other L.B painted on a genuine smile. That's one less problem to deal with.

“Thanks alot man. I didn't think you'd help me”

“Ah, there's no problem.”

Said Hiro, stretching out his body after doing such strenuous labor. Closing his eyes, twisting and bending his waist Hiro remarked; “Ahhhh. Whoo! So...guess I can come in no--w? L?... L.B?”

What was going on?..

Where was he?..

He couldn't have...No!

Turning around as if in distress, Hiro sees the chauffeur. Waiting for his mistress to return. Suddenly, the dreaded sound amped once more.

“Huh...?”

Chuckling, and ravaging his innocent hair like a maniac. Hiro screamed at the top of his lungs. Brutally striking his temples with the end of his palm.

“Baka! BAka! bAKa! BaKA! BAKABAKABAKABKABKABKAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!
[STUPID! STUPID! STUPID! STUPID! STUUUUUPPPPPIIIIIIIIDDDDD!!!!!!!!!]
( バカ!!!!!!!!!!)

L.B YOU SONOFABITCH!!!!!!!”

Hilary couldn't take it. The bubbling brew was about to blow.

"No Hilary! Pull yourself together...you can do-o-o-o it."
He kept telling himself. But, once you've put enough rubber bands on a watermelon. It's eventually gonna BLOW.

And Laugh. He did.

“Hey! What's so funny huh?”

“I-I'm sorry...I ju-I just can't. That was hilarious!”

“Why you???????”

Hiro chased after the chauffeur -attempting murder.

++++++________+++++
_---- THROUGH THE GATES---_
++++++______________+++++

L.B smiled. Feeling cool with himself. Slipping his hands into his trouser pockets again.

-Guess that's his thing.

Some other guards had already picked up the luggage from the depot. Working together, they placed the luggages into a futuristic looking automobile.

'The Super mobile 368'

They were in a school right?  So then, why were they seeing a long road stretching miles to God knows where?

There were two two small security building opposite each direction. One at the right, and the other by the left. Then in the middle which is where they'd been standing. A road. Or..street maybe? Along the rest of the massive land space was nothing but green fields. Where the colossal walls that seemed to be erected by the builders of 'The tower of babel' Stretched, as if it were endless.

“Okay. We've put your luggages into the vehicle. You can get in now.”

“Huh?”

Both the boy and his mother were stunned.

“Where are we going?...I thought.. ”

Opening up the car door as if he were Hilary. L.B then said;

“Well..we're heading to the city!”

“City?”

“Yeah. We are now in Skycross national border. Didn't you know? Skycross isn't just a school. It's a whole Country.”

÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷

Aseop: Well guys. Once again we've reached the end of the chapter. I don't wanna have to tell you what to do. Cause you already know.

So.

What do you think of L.B?..

Oh! And the silver haired boy?

Is there something going on between them ???????

Please lemme know your thoughts. Alright?

Okay I've long over stayed my welcome so... I'm gonna get set for the next chapter. See you when I see you.
