Paraden High

I'm running through the black forest, attempting to escape from him. I'm not sure how I got here, but it's not a wise move; the dark forest was his domain, and I'm weak, which means I can't even cast a spell or use my abilities. Although I can't lose my faith right now the King will definitely be doing his utmost to reach me.

"Aliah, run! run faster! " then he starts laughing wickedly

"Shut up!!" I exclaimed and covered my ears as I ran, but he unexpectedly jumped in front of me, causing me to to a stop

"Surprise!" he said while grinning at me with his very dark eyes. Once you see him, you can recognize his extremely horrible presence.

"Dakurado," I utter, this isn't the end for me yet

AILEEN POV

I wake up and I was in a forest it looks old and otherworldly. I can hear the sounds of a wolf howling and the trees were dancing through the breeze of the air, wait what am I doing here? I don't even know this place I run through the woods until I see a light from outside and when I get out I was on a bridge and saw many people looking at someone I get closer. It was a man trying to jump on the bridge, but I can't see his face.

"I didn't kill her!!! I love her very much!!!" – that man shout, I don't even know him, but why my heart is aching so much.

"Just come down and let's talk about this"- I can't see who's talking but I can see another man who was holding a gun and for sure he will shoot him. I don't know but suddenly I run to that boy and hug him. After that, I hear a loud bang of a gun.

-bang! bang!-

"Aileen!!!"- that was the last thing I heard and everything went black.

....

"Ahhh!!"- I wake up and try to catch up my breath.

"Are you okay? Did something happen? Talk to me!"- my brother asks worriedly. I almost forgot that he's with me right now. I got shot while we're on a mission so we're here at the hospital.

"Relax. I'm fine bro it's just a bad dream"- I answered to calm him then I smile and reach for a bottle of water. That dream is weird.

"Thinking something, I am just here if you need someone to talk" - Neil said

"Do I have a past accident before other than this?"- well, I just want to know if I forget something.

"None, this is the first"- he answered

"That's good then, anyway let's just go back to sleep"- I am tired and it's still early.

"Yeah, just take some rest, I'll just go for jogging"- he said, I didn't see that he's in his running attire though

"Okay, get me some delicious food when you come back"- then smile at him

"No problem, leave that to me"- he gets his wallet and phone

"Thanks, bro"- then I close my eyes

"Goodnight baby"- he whispered and I hear the door close

-Z z z z z -

(After 1 week)

"Ohaiyo gozaimas bro!!"- I happily greet him since it was a good morning right now. I don't want bad vibes right now. I just got out of the hospital yesterday so I want a fresh start.

"Good morning too baby"- then he sits by my side. He just woke up late right now.

"I need to go now bro I am done eating and I also prepared you a breakfast"- then I got up and get all my bags.

"Thank you, baby!! Have fun at school!"- I hear him shouting before I leave at the house.

Hi, guys before I forgot I am Aileen Shin leader of Ichi we are part of the organization form by Paraden. My parents were both in Paraden that's why I only have my older brother with me here. Back to reality, I'm going straight to Harvard University right now, and it is our first day today so we need to be good at the students. We need to transfer here and I believe this will be the last. When I got there I directly walk through the office where I am going to meet my group, but on my way, I suddenly bump into someone.

"Hey look where you going!" What? He was the one who doesn't look where he was going. Tsk

"You!"- I shouted and look at him, he turns around and looks at me. What the heck he's doing here?

"You should be the one look where you going"- I said, pretending not to know him.

He just looks at me with a little shock in his eyes, but he didn't say anything and suddenly turns away from me. Before he could totally vanish in front of me I reach his arm and pull it so he can face me. I smile at him and hit his stomach with my hand.

"Cazzo! What's that for?!"- I can see a bit of anger in his eyes, but I don't mind it's time for me to do the walk-out-thing, I turn around and walk as fast as I could.

"Caspita!!Che tipa violenta"-(What a violent girl) I didn't hear clearly what he said but I don't really care. I hurry up and enter the office.

When I got there I sit and calm myself. I hate this it's my first day here it should be great and not a disaster, but I miss that face a lot. Aileen Shin stop thinking about him! I close my eyes and try to relax.

...

I heard birds chirping and open my eyes. Why am I in the forest again? This is not happening ugh!!!

"Help! help!"- wait, where is that sound coming from, I try to follow it but all I can see are woods.

"Where are you?!!"- I shouted

"I am here!! Please help me!"- I think it's coming from the dark woods, I run through there.

When I am almost there the sound slowly disappears. I suddenly look at the other side and I saw some shadow and followed it.

"Wait!! Who are you?!!"- I asked, but it runs away like it doesn't hear me.

"You will never find them!!"- a voice suddenly whispered to my ear and keep on laughing evilly.

"Stop!!!"- I shouted and cover my ears, somebody help me, please!! I hear the voice coming closer and closer

"Please Stop!!!"

....

"Wahhh!!"- I suddenly open my eyes and I'm sweating too much.

"Here"- then he gives me bottled water. I look at him, do they finish their mission already?

"Thank you"- I get the water from him.

"Bad dreams?"- I just look at him

"How did you know I was here?"- I just get back into my sense right now.

"By this"- he answered and show me his phone.

Wow, I can't believe this did he put a tracking device in my phone. Tell me that this guy is kidding me because I might punch his pretty face right now!!!

"When did you put that?"- he's so irritating, I know he's my friend but why does he need to do this to me. He was about to answer, but then my team suddenly entered the office and they look very happy.

"Omo!, is that the handsome prince of San?."- say's Bella acting like she was shocked. She's so cute while doing that, especially when she smiles with those pretty blue eyes.

"Cj, welcome back"- Nick said happily. I look at him and just noticed that he change his hair color into cadet blue which suits him by the way.

Okay, there just the one who is happy? Like I don't care, I am mad at him. I just look at them happily greeting each other and it makes me more bored, maybe I need to go on I have a class to attend. I stand up and get my bag, It's too crowded here.

I open the door and was about to leave when he runs to me and hold my hand, so I look at him waiting if he will say something.

"Excuse me"- I said then he let go and smile.

"I just want to talk to you about something, if you don't mind"- I am not in the mood to talk

"I think this is not the right time for that dude"- Nick said, maybe it's about a mission again

"Why?"- he asked like it was really important

"I'll explain it to you later"- Nick answered

"If you don't mind I need to go"- then smile at him and get out. I need to be early, when I get out I look for a spot to take a picture well, I will just send it to my brother. He wants to see my picture on my first day here in school.

(A/N: Hello guys sorry for the wrong grammar or errors I will try my best to avoid those and promise to make it better. Enjoy reading and Get to know more the characters:)

CJ POV

I saw her leaving so I run and hold her hand, she looks at me like she was waiting for me to talk, but I was too amazed by her looks today. She's wearing a white t-shirt top with a yellow pinafore dress which suits her white skin. Her brown eyes are like shining and she looks pretty with that violet ribbon she puts in her crimson curly long hair. Well, she's beautiful like the old times nothing change.

"Excuse me" Oh I forgot, I let go of her hand and smile.

"I just want to talk to you about something, if you don't mind"- it's not that important, but there's something I need to confirm

"I think this is not the right time for that dude"- Nick said, which I don't understand

"Why?"- I asked

"I will explain to you later dude"- Nick answered. Okay, if he says so.

"If you don't mind I need to go"- she smiles and goes out.

"Okay, explain to me now"- I said to Nick

"Well, it's in the new rule that we shouldn't talk about private things here in school"- Nick explained

"The Higher-ups believe that the allies of Dākurōdo are using a human body to disguised, so we need to be extra careful"- JC adds

"That's right, well let's go we need to attend our class first"- Sam said

"Let's go guys"- then Bella suddenly pulled them out outside the room.

How can they just left me here alone, those brats are unbelievable. Suddenly the door open, I saw Cass and Greg came in they were shocked to see me, but I don't mind. I don't need to explain to them why I am here.

"Did you already tell Shujin Aileen about what we found out?"- Greg asked when he locks the door

"Higher-ups set a new rule that we shouldn't talk things like that here in school"- I answered

"That's a better idea, we can just have a meeting later in the hideout"- Cass said

"Where are Fiona and Tim anyway?"- we should meet before going to our class

"Their schedule was early so they need to go"- Cass answered

"I'll better go then, see you around"- I said

"Will I send a message to them Shujin?"- Greg asked

"Do it then"- I answered and left, the 'Ni' is still on a mission but we can discuss it again when they are back.

Chris POV

Many people around here could ruin my day, but why it has to be her. This is not what I'm expecting to happen if we ever meet again. I want us to be on good terms and be friends again. It's been two years since I left and she was angry about it, she doesn't even call me or message me.

"Chris is that you?"- what the heck is he doing here? What I mean is 'San' is still in Japan doing their mission.

"Bro, what are you doing here, I thought you on a mission?"- are they done?

"We came back yesterday since we finish the mission earlier than we thought"- he answered

They have been improving since my cousin is back I was updated even I stayed in Italy, he was still the leader of 'San' even he rest for a year to concentrate on studying 'Jizen mesoddo' which means advanced method so that you can be called as 'Shujin' (Master).

"So are we in the same class?" - I asked, to change the topic.

"I think so"- then he smiles like it's weird for me to see him does that.

"Okay, let's just talk later when we get home"- after saying that to him we both enter the room and I was shocked at who I saw it's her again Aileen Jane.

While CJ is sitting next to her I choose to sit at the back to avoid her. This is better since we had a little bit of misunderstanding this morning. After a few hours of listening it's time to go home, but before that, I need to go to the hideout to report and to meet the member of 'Ichi'. Well some of them are my friend and some of them are new to me.

I get my things and go directly to where I park my car. When I got there I start the engine and drive as fast I can since we are not allowed to just teleport there. After 15 minutes I am standing here again missing this place so much. It was surrounded by trees and flowers, and you can enjoy the cool breeze. This hideout was a very big house, its design was base on a castle-like, but my favorite part is the inside it was a lot nicer than you than the outside. No one will think that this is a hideout.

"Mr. Ahkihiro glads to see you again"- I smiled and hug him. I miss him, he's one of my favorite sensei' (Teacher). He's one of our Trainor together with ma'am Kiara. Sir Cloudeo trains the 'Ni' and sir Neil trains the 'San'.

"Sensei your still handsome like before"- I said, he never ages until now

"And you haven't change for a little bit Mr. Ahkihiro, your still a joker"- I laugh at what he said because he knows me well.

"We better head inside Sensei I think they are waiting."- I said then we both head inside, while still chatting. When we are near to the office I already hear a voice from inside.

"Hello there, I suppose you know him already"- then I showed myself to them. All eyes turn to me and they were very happy. I try my best not to see them at school cause I want to surprise them.

"Chris! long time no see"- Nick said and hug me, he is one of my best friends.

"You're back"- and that is Sam another friend of mine.

"Nice to see you guys, but where are the others?"- they are five people that I am expecting to meet, but only two of them are here.

"Well speaking of"- then she points at my back so I turn around and see two-person entering the office.

"Guys meet Chris, dude meet Bella and JC they are the ones who replace Ashley and you know"- Nick said

I smiled at them and look Sam and Nick again. It is been two years but the memories are still there.

"Hi, nice to meet you bro, JC by the way"- then he shakes my hand.

"Nice to see you in person, I heard a lot about you from our juniors"- this must be Bella. I just smiled at her

"Well thank you, and nice meeting you too"- hopingly we can easily be friends.

"Where is AJ? Why she's not with you"- suddenly Sir Neo asked.

"About that sensei, she said that she will try to catch up"- Sam answered, we dismiss early where did she go? She didn't even change for a bit still the old Aileen.

"Text her to come immediately right now, she can't miss this meeting"- then his face turns serious, that's not a good thing by the way.

"Yes sir"- Sam takes her phone and gets outside to call her, while the rest of us sit down and try to lessen the awkwardness inside the room.

"Hi, guys! What did I miss?"- then she hurriedly sits on the sofa beside Nick not even noticing that I'm here. Will she keep ignoring me like that?

Aileen POV

I am dead right now, why would I forget that we have a meeting. Sensei Neo is going to kill me. My brother didn't even remind me about this!! -Ring...ring..ring..- Ohh that's maybe Sam, I reach for my phone and answer it right away.

"Where are you?"- with a worried voice

"On my way sweet"- I answered

"Hurry up"- then she hung up, how could she hung up when I'm not done talking

I need to get there faster, which will lead me to a violation if someone will catch me over speeding right now but nobody did until I reach the gate of our Hideout. This was a schoolhouse for us and for our juniors they are the ones who choose to stay outside Paraden. I ran as fast as I could then when I am near the office I try to calm myself before entering.

"Hi, guys! What did I miss?"- then I ran to sit beside Nick and smile at Sir Neo.

"You're finally here Ms. Shin"- I don't really like when he was in a serious tone

"I am very sorry Sensei"- I awkwardly smile

"It's okay since you are already here would you mind welcoming a new member"- then he points to him, he stands up and smiles at me. While I was there sitting and comprehending if this is real, is this a kind of a joke he left then now he's coming back.

"This must be a joke?!"- It suddenly comes out in my mouth without even thinking and stand up.

To tell you honestly I was in shock right now seeing this guy again and the worst thing is he is on my team, the team that he left just to relax and find himself. I know that he was so broken when Audrey left him but why do we need to suffer from that. He came back to ruin my first day in school and now he is right in front of me and smiling as nothing happened.

"Hi, nice to see you again"- then he was about to hug me, but I step backward. We look each other and tears suddenly fell in my eyes. I hate him, I really do!
