Chapter 2 - Foreign Fire


Some train station
Y/N POV


I lived near a train station maybe like a 5 minute walk or less i dunno. Im used to walking alot to a point where time to get to a place doesn't really matter. Right now im just waiting for a train to arrive which should be arriving right...about...now. i got on the train. I was lucky enough to get a seat on the train thank god because its always crowded at this time and it would really suck to be standing right now


(A/N: japanese rush hour sucks and its a blessing to get a seat during that time. I would know because ive experience rush hour and it sucks especially when youre standing!)


I plopped in both my headphones and started listening to various Drum covers to EDM music. Lately ive been in a drumming mood so ive been covering songs myself on the drumkit i have back at home. I usually play guitar or piano but for some reason the drums have been fun for me so ive been playing for awhile. Then again music in general was something ive always enjoyed listening to and playing and has a been a passion as well as an escape for me. Luckly I had friends back in the order who shared my interest and would teach me a few things on their instruments. Despite all the missions and training Ive done im surprised i found time to learn various instruments.


5 stops later


I got off the train and made my way to school. Along the way i decided to pick up breakfast from a nearby bakery that caught my eye as well as my nose. The aroma emanating from the bakery was a call for me to go and so i went in


I looked around and and saw some girls who had the same color pattern as my uniform along with various breads and pasteries. I took two sausage buns and some cold matcha tea and brought them to the counter. There was girl who had blue eyes brown hair as well as a school uniform with same color scheme as mine working the counter


???: thatll be 350¥


Dayum thats pretty cheap i thought to my self and gave her a 500¥ coin


???: hey...um i noticed the color of your uniform is similar to mine.


Y/N: oh yeah i did too i take it youre a student at hanasakigawa?


???: yeah i am its nice to meet you


Y/N: nice to meet you too welp i should get going and you should too see you later


???: hey wai...


??? PoV


And just like that he left...huh i didnt even get his name... as well as he forgot his recipt and change =-=


Y/N POV


I made it to hanasakigawa with my bag of food i looked around and took in the scenery. The place looked like a really nice school and i was pretty happy to be here...exept i notice one problem...if hanasakigawa is currently a co-ed school...THEN WHY AM I THE ONLY BOY! I thought to myself. As im walking I noticed alot of stares coming from everyone (and when i mean everyone i mean the girls) I then  put in both my earpods in looked down and started walking towards the reception desk expeditiously ignoring and tuning out all the stares and looks. Honestly i was so used to being low profile...and well i Honestly felt uncomfortable and so i kept walking and until i finally reached the reception desk. Took out one bud so that i could hear the person at the desk


???: goodmornin!!! the girl said...with too much enthusiasm. Like damn girl chill its only 7 in the morning. Upon further inspection of the girl she had purple eyes that looked really nice along with cat ears...? What?


Y/N: oh good morning i said as i snapped back to reality. To be honest i was kinda mesmerized by the two little buns on the girls head like goddamn how the hell do you get that every morning i wondered.


???: how can we help you? She said with the same level of energy.


Y/N: umm my name is L/N F/N Im a new student here in hanasakigawa


???: OOH okay! We'll check you in right away ARISAAAAAA!! WE HAVE A NEW CHECK-IN!
She yelled


The girl sitting on the table then looked at the cat haired girl.


Arisa: I KNOW I HEARD YA JEEZ KASUMI IM RIGHT HERE!


Kasumi: sorryyy~~~ she as she rubbed the back of her head giving her a big smile


Yeesh I wonder who pissed in her cerial this morning yeesh but i get you, it should be illegal for someone to be thie energetic in the mornin =-=. Upon further inspection i noticed that someone was hiding under the desk she looks as if shes practicing...but im just gonna pretend that i dont see that.


Arisa: alright youre all good to go assembly will be held in the auditorum so please head there now she said as she finished typing in the computer. Huh it also looks like youre the first and only boy to attend the new hanasakigawa.


Wait...only??? What the hell man. But screw it school is school cant really complain though i will say its a bit embarrassing to know that im the only boy here...


In a way its kinda bad because now ill be sticking out like a sore thumb, I was always used to being in the background where no one would notice it made my life easy knowing i could slip in and out without anyone to bother me in this case i can already tell ill be the talk of the school so there is no hiding


Y/N: thanks for that...ill try not to cause any trouble


Kasumi: bye bye i hope we can be friends she said waving and giving me a big bright smile. Not gonna lie she does have a nice and bright smile. 


Y/N: yeah thanks ill see you around.


I put in both my headphones and began walking towards the assembly hall for my entrance ceremony as im jamming out to some metal music. As im walking im noticing alot of stares coming from the other girls. I put my head down and continued walking the attention from the others had started making me feel uncomfortable but its okay i got music to keep me tuned out from all that.


I slowly started to sink into the music letting my mind drift away until i felt a tap on my
Right shoulder. I turned around to see a girl eith turqoise hair and green eyes. Her arms were crossed and judging by her face she did not look happy for some reason. I took off my earbuds and began to oblige her.


Y/N: umm may i help you? I question her with my head tilted


???: listening to music and walking around with headphones isnt authorized during school hours only at lunch and after school you do know that right?


Bruhhh whaat? School hasnt even started yet bell hasnt even rang and i cant listen to music coming to class?


Y/N: umm sorry but school technically hasnt started yet first bell hasnt even rung. I argued


???: well if you actually read your student hand book you would know that its only authorized during school lunch and after school. Im gonna have to confiscate your phone now.
She then stuck her hand out signalling to give her my phone and head phones


Bruhhh you gotta be kidding that is the dumbest sh*t ive ever heard. Damn you japanese school system but it cant be helped rules are bloody rules after all.


Y/N: *sigh*


I then gave her my phone and headphones. She took them and started walking away but before she did i called out to her.


Y/N: may i ask your name please?


???: its Hikawa... Hikawa Sayo school monitor and vice president of the student council. She said in a serious tone.


Y/N: thank you very much i said as i gave a slight bow.


She nodded her head and began walking away. Huh...sayo hikawa... aight bet I got something for you later today.


Location:
Assembly hall


That whole ordeal with that hikawa girl kinda pissed me off a bit but not enough to were itll ruined my day no dont worry i got plans for her later today.


Not long i saw her again this time shes up on the stage. She began to give a speech to open the ceremony. All she talked about was about the student expectations the does and donts and what not she even referenced the headphones issue this morning whicb put me on tilt for a bit =-= and then introduced the student council president.


A girl with with black hair and and purple eyes stepped up to the pedestal. She looked like she was about to piss herself at any moment...i looked at her closely she looked familiar. I think she was the girl hiding behind the desk... =-=


Student council president: h-hello, im your stu... she said as she began to studder a bit...
Im youre student council president...shirokane rinko that last part was a bit quit but i was able hear her.


She was all red in the face and looked very embarrassed as she attempted to introduce herself. By the looks of it i dont think shes the type to give big speeches in front of people nor like the feeling of attention. I feel so bad...but at the same time i know how it feels to be noticed liked that.


Few minutes later
Location:
Class 2-B


As i entered the classroom i noticed a chart on the board and it looked like a seating chart.


Huh not even the first day of class and theres already a seating chart made nice i thought to myself. My seat looked to be at the foward left corner by the door. I took my seat and reached to my pocket. Oh wait...thats right that girl took my phone *sigh* damn you.


With nothing to do i looked at the seating chart to see the names of the people in my class and who was sitting near me. On the chart it said that a person named ushigome rimi will be sitting on my right and a girl by the name of yamabuki saya will be sitting behind me. I looked to see who else would be In the class, im not surprised if the were all girls considering that most of the kanji sounded
Like it would belong to a girl.


Not long after more and more people came
In the classroom obviously i got alot of stares from the others as well as people talking about .jeez i wish i had my phone right now. I took out one of my text books and started to read it to help help take my mind off the fact im getting unwanted attention. Soon after the seat to my right and behind me began to fill. It looks as if my neighbors came by. I looked to to my right and noticed a small girl with short black hair and red eyes she noticed me looking at her and she gave me a small bow and a smile i did the same except i gave her an awkward smile back enough to make her giggle.


A few minutes later the teacher came in and class has finally begun.


Sensei: good morning class ill be your homeroom teacher. My name is shiori its nice to meet you all She introduced herself


She then  gave us a rundown of the class rules and schedule for this upcoming year as well as expectations set forth unto her class the usual home room teacher stuff she then handed out our scedule sheet and a rubric of things we should have and need.


As i passed the rubric and schedule back to the person behind me i noticed that she was the girl serving me at the bakery she noticed me looking at her and we began to lock eyes for a hot minute, i broke it by suddenly looking forward. Jesus christ that was awkward but she did have really nice eyes.


Shiori: with that being said and done lets begin with an icw breaker starting with that young man over there


I then looked up at her. DAMNIT WHY DID I KNOW THAT THIS WOULD HAPPEN


Shiori: please stand up and introduce yourself young man!


Aw sh*t... i then stood up and looked around all eyes were on me and judging by the looks they were a very eager to know who i am... well here goes nothing


Y/N: uhh...hi everyone my name is L/N F/N i was born here in this town but moved to tsushima for family reasons and lived there for a good minute. Umm...my dad owns a combat systems company but dont worry! he doesnt engineer weapons no! He makes radars and other sensory equipment so no harm to anyone ehheehehe...anyways because of his job we had to move alot after tsushima i styed in kyoto for awhile and then eventually started traveling overseas. My fathers job took me around the world and i ended up learning alot from different cultures and different languages and skills. It was hard to make friends considering i had to move alot but had fun non the less my most recent place i visited as well as came from was Norway but now im back here for good now thay my parents have finally finished their world tour of working. My hobbies is playing music as well as listening to music. I love music alot because it was just fun to listen to. Because of this i ended up taking up alot of instruments some you wouldn't even know like the russian balalaika. Welp thats all for now also sorry in advance if my japanese doesnt sound formal. One of the languages i spoke the most was English and because of that i took my japanese and blended it with my english slang like talk and because of that my japanese sounds more informal and more western so once again forgive me if my japanese doesn't seem that formal and i hope we can get along!


I then ended my long introduction with a bow. There was a long silence...


Everyone:...OOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!


Everyone then began to clap. Oh thank god cuz that silence was so awkward.


To be honest most of if not half that  introduction was a lie. I cant let these people know of my assassin lineage because one i dont think that they should know that and it breaks one of our creeds so to keep from that some of it i had to make up on the spot.


It looked as if i made a positive impression though and they seem to like me.


Few minutes others started giving there intros some also interesting others meh... later class ended and onto the next. School was school and each of our classes just ended up giving more rubrics and expectations so i didnt really learn much until finally lunch came.


As i was about to get up someone tapped me on the shoulder i looked behind me and it was saaya


Y/N: hey whats up?


She then reached into her pocket to and grabbed something out if it and then stuck her fist out to me. I gaver her my hand and she proceeded to drop money onto my hand...


What? I was so confused. I mean im not a bully who goes asking for lunch money...


Saaya: you forgot your change this morning she said


Y/N: OOOOOH aha i was confused like why is this girl giving me money out of nowherw ya know?!


We both then began to laugh at that whole exchange.


???:umm... we look to our right and it was rimi


Rimi: ummm...sorry to interfere but i was wondering, saaya if were still on for lunch she said looking a bit red. I think she mightve been a little embarrassed thinking that she was veing rude to interrupted.


Saaya: yeah we are i didnt forget besides i cant eat all these baked goods myself


Rimi: yaaaay! I want to eat some cornets!


Saaya: dont worry theres plenty to go around speaking of which Y/N!


Y/N: yeah whats up? I responded


Saaya: you said you  just came from Norway and that you didnt have any friends to hang out with right?


Yeesh you make me sound like im some
Kinda loner when you put it like that =-=


Y/N: yeah why whats up? I think i know where this is going


Saaya: i was wondering if you would like to join me and my friends for lunch?


And i was right on the money. As i was about to accept her invite because hey why not its not like i got anything left to lose am i right?  i noticed a tint of turqoise hair running across the doorway reminding me that i got some unfinished buisness with a certain girl...


Y/N: yeah proably, though i got something take care of so it might depending on how long this will take will determine if i can or not


Saaya: ohh... she said in a somwhat dissapointed tone oh lord i better make this quick then... judging by that tone i think she was trying to open up an opertunity to spark a friendship. As much important as it is to get back at that hikawa girl i cant let this opportunity pass by me after all im gonna be here for a long minute so i might as well make some friends.


Y/N: hey where are you guys gonna be at specifically? In the event i do make it ill probably just meet you there i suggested


Saaya: we'll be under the tree thats in the middle of the school it shouldnt be that hard to find


Y/N: aight tok easy ill see you if i finish on time


Saaya: yeah hopefully you do make it!


We said our goodbyes as i made my way out the classroom. I then preceeded to look around to see if i can locate sayo and as luck would have she was there talking to another student. Upon further observation it didnt seem like she had my phone on her and mustve put it somewhere else. She then proceeded to walk away after talking to the student and i started to tail her discreetly and without anyone knowing. 


A few minutes later
She went inside a room and i preceeded to walk by as i walked by the room took a quick glance of who was in the room so far it was just her and the student council presidient, the lay out and potential places it might be at that very second i walked passed i had already processed enough information plan out how im gonna take my phone back.


As an assassin i trained my observation skills to the point i can look at something for only a split second and make plans the next. Its one of the reasons why i was so deadly.


My first plan was to lure them out but how...i then i saw a student with blue hair tied to a side pony tail, she seemed lost...perfect. i then took out a binder from my back pack and made myself look like i had something to do and approached the girl.


Y/N: umm excuse me i called to her


She then turned around around look all nervous


???: umm c-can i help you...? She said with a slight shake in her voice... yeesh man im not that scary


Y/N: umm yeah i need help i told her. She then looked at me more attentively and so i began to explain


Y/N: So the teacher told me to get the student council and tell them to meet them in her office but i had already been givin a task by another teacher to run these files for her to some of the other teachers in senior class do you mind getting the student council for me and send them to the faculty office? I know it sounds like something i could do but these files seem like its gonna take awhile and im trying to get finished early so i can eat


???: sure! She said without any form of hesitation wow that was quick


Y/N: thank you so much


???: it looks like you have a lot on your plate. If i could help out even just a little than its no problem


Y/N: yeahhhh to be honest i dunno why shes making me do this but im not gonna argue. Welp thanks a bunch


We then waved each other off. I then proceeded to make a giant loop across the top deck and hid behind a corner. I peaked out and saw the girl talking to the student council and Both of them proceeded to the room and made their way the other direction yes! My planned work now onto the next phase.


I then entered the the student council office i was walking around looking for my phone i noticed saya and her friends sitting out by the tree i then turned around only to find a hidden office. To the left i saw a cabinet and had a feeling my phone was in there. I opened the top cabinet and to my surprise my phone was there. I then grabbed my phone closed the cabinet  and looked out in the hallway to see if anyone was there. No one was there so casually walked out the office like it was nothing and made no trace what soever


Ha! Serves her right to take my stuff. Now then onto my next event. I then made my way towards the tree where saaya and her friends were at.


A/N
That concludes chapter two honestly one of the longest counting at about 3,700+ words jesus christ but anways i hope you all enjoy this one and hopefully itll keep you entertained for awhile because chapter 3 is being planned out but not drafted and on top of that my work is starting to speed up so who knows when the next chapter might come out. Im pretty happy with this chapter because the last two chapters was mainly introducing the character as well as opening up the world but now in this one we got some of the girls still  introduced yaay anyways theres more to follow so stay tuned in the mean time  imma shut up now and go so see ya
