Chapter Text
The closer you got to PK Academy, the more students you saw. So you decided to start looking for someone who fit the description you were given - a short boy with light blue hair and red eyes and he wears red bandages - he should be pretty easy to find. you thought to yourself.
You arrive at class slumping into a chair located near the back of the room, you sigh in defeat, unable to find the small teen. While you were sitting waiting for class to start, you remembered something your boss had told you "I've heard some rumors that there are some psychics at that school so be cautious" just as the memory crossed your mind you notice that a pink haired boy with weird hair clips flinched.
Ignoring it you looked around your class observing your new classmates as they arrived. A certain blue haired boy came in and immediately caught your attention, he met the description you were given perfectly - although he looked a lot weaker than you thought he would. "That's The Jet-Black Wings?" You watched him as he walked up to the pink haired boy you noticed earlier; they seemed to be friends.
"Hey Saiki" he said to the boy who barely even looked up in response. Poor dude, seems like he just wants to be alone.
You looked away from them, observing the rest of the class.
The next person to catch your attention was a very pretty blue haired girl. As soon as she entered the classroom everyone gathered around her, most likely due to her beauty. "Hello everyone!" you barely managed to hear her say over all the gasping. I hope this isn't a normal occurrence. From what you overheard her name is Teruhashi, you had a feeling you weren't going to like her.
You went back to concentrating on the blue haired boy with bandages, you then begain thinking I wonder if he remembers anything from back then?
I doubt it.
While you were lost in thought you didn't notice the blue haired girl - Teruhashi? Was that her name? - had come up to your desk.
"Hello, you must be the new student!" She said smiling brightly. "I'm Teruhashi Kokomi, nice to meet you!"
"Oh, um... nice to meet you. I'm y/n." You responded with a smile trying to seem like you cared. You then realized the entire class was now looking at you because you were talking to Teruhashi, you didn't quite understand what was so special about her, but she seemed nice. Maybe that's why? You thought even though you know it was probably purely because of her looks.
"Y/n? That's a nice name!" She said with the same smile still plastered on her face. She might have senced that you were a bit uncomfortable with all of the attention you were getting from her because after that she just wished you luck with the new school then went to her seat.
After Teruhashi walked away, the short blue haired teen approached you.
"Hey have you heard of The Dark Reunion?"
Wha- he remembers??!!?
"No I haven't. What's that? Is it from an anime or something?" You responded trying to make your lie convincing, but, a hint of panic could be heard in your voice.
"You haven't heard of The Dark Reunion!?!?" The Jet-black Wings exclaimed, eager to share his knowledge with you.
"No I haven't what is it?"
"Well since you asked. The Dark Reunion is an evil organization that's trying to steal "Black Beat" the power that dwells in my right arm and is sealed there with these bandages, they plan to steal this power and use it to create a new world. But I won't let that happen for I am The Jet-Black Wings!"
You now know for certain that he is the one you're searching for.
"Wow! That sounds really cool!!" You say trying your best to sound surprised. "Could I see it?" You asked hoping to see how well it's sealed.
"No!!" He panics "I-it's too dangerous y-you could get hurt!!"
"Oh... I thought you were cool..." you frown trying to get him to change his mind. It seemed to have worked as you saw his face sadden, he looked as though he was about to cry. "Wh-what I mean is of course you can! You just need to be extremely careful." He says holding back tear. Lame you thought but for some reason you felt kinda bad.
You smile at him softly and reached for his arm. I could probably take the power right now considering how weak he is.
Just then some strange dude who everyone seemed to hate came up to the two of you. "Hey, chibi who's this?" the guy who's face looked like it would be great for effortlessly scaring children asked the blue haired teen.
"Oh Nendo. This is...ummm?" The boy realized he didn't know your name.
"Y/n."
You finished his sentence.
"I was just telling him about The Dark Reunion."
Your conversation was cut short due to class starting and you forgot to ask for his name.
"Y/n!!" The blue haired teen - you found out his name is Kaidou - came over to you with his group of friends. "Do you want to get some ramen with us?"
"Sure!" You answered after coming to the conclusion that becoming closer to him and his friends to earn his trust would be beneficial for your mission.
You make your way to the ramen shop with Kaidou and his friends, Nendou and Saiki.
When you arrive you sit next to Kaidou, across from Saiki with Nendou next to him. Once you all finish ordering your ramen you decide to start a conversation with Kaidou - you still can't believe this pathetic looking kid is the infamous Jet-Black Wings - you start off by asking him basic questions about The Dark Reunion to see just how much he remembers.
"How did you first learn of The Dark Reunion?"
"I actually used to be a member of The Dark Reunion, but then I discovered their evil plans to sort mankind and create a new world so obviously I betrayed them by stealing the stone of ruins needed for their plan."
"Did you get away with it?"
You ask already knowing how the story goes, but it's not everyday that you get to hear about it from The Jet-black Wings himself.
"Well after they discovered that I had stolen it they cornered me forcing me to use the Forbidden Secret Art the Phantom to escape."
You were so focused on his story - even though you've heard it many times before - that you almost hadn't realized when you received your ramen or whenever Nendou made a comment on how delusional Kaidou is.
"The Phantom separates the soul from the body. My soul was shifted into this dimension into the body of the unborn boy Kaidou Shun, the body in which I currently inhabit."
He finishes the story.
"Wow, and they're still after you even now?"
Of course you knew the answer to this as you were sent here for that very reason.
"Yep, but their target isn't me but Black Beat the godlike force within my right arm, but I won't let them get it. I'll protect this world and everyone in it."
He seems so excited to share this information with me, who would be excited about an evil organization coming after you and potentially causing harm to those you care for?
I ask him another question as before I start eating my ramen. "What kind of powers do you have? Could you tell me more about them?"
"Well I obviously have Black Beat which is the source of my powers, I also have Judgment Knights Of Thunder, it summons lightning, attacking my opponent."
As he continues to go on about his powers I feel a pair of eyes on me, I brush it off as his friends thinking your crazy for believing all this.
After we finish our food we go out separate ways and head home.
When you're walking suddenly someone pulls you into a dark alleyway. It was Saiki, and he didn't look too happy.
What does he want? Is he trying to pick a fight with me or something?
He glared at me, maybe he does want to fight. I never thought I'd see him with any other expression than his normal blank one, I almost thought it must be stuck like that.
"Stay away from Kaidou."
What? It's not like he could've figured out what I'm trying to do, right? Maybe he has a crush on him and thinks I'm trying to steal him away? No, that doesn't seem right. Is he just paranoid, thinks I'm faking being nice to bully him? That's probably it, I wouldn't be surprised if that's happened in the past.
"If you don't like me, I can just leave you alone. I see no reason I should leave Kaidou alone though. He should be able to choose who he wants to hang out with, without you dictating his choices."
He appears to want to say more, but doesn't. He seems to be hiding something.
Once again, he speaks up.
"You're part of The Dark Reunion, aren't you?"
Huh? How? Did he actually figure it out or is he delusional and coincidentally assigned that role to me?
I laugh. "Are you delusional? What makes you think I'm part of this imaginary evil organization? I may have gone along with it earlier but that doesn't mean I believe that crap, I was just being nice."
Maybe this is some kind of weird joke? This should be a good reaction to get any possible suspension off of me.
"I didn't believe him, I don't think he fully believes it either. But you are highly suspicious and I'm not going to rule out the possibility, and you kept asking him so many questions. Like you were trying to get information."
This is annoying. "Like I said, I was just being nice and he seemed like he really wanted to talk about it so I was giving him a reason to continue, plus it's kinda cute when he's rambling on about that stuff."
That's not entirely a lie.
"Why are you so sure about it anyway? Are you psychic or something? Did some prophecy inform you of my betrayal?" I make a joke, but it could very well be true, if that turns out to be the case that's some pretty shitty luck.
"Of course not, I'm just your average highschool student."
"So let's say hypothetically I am part of The Dark Reunion...just what do you think you could do about that Mr. Average Highschool Student?" I ask wondering what this weak looking pink guy could possibly do to stop me.
"I'd tell Kaidou."
Oh, I guess he could do that. That would be a slight problem.
"And he'd believe that?" Of course he would, they're friends and he seems stupidly easy to convince.
"He would, I'm his friend and sidekick."
His sidekick?
"Apparently."
Oh, did I say that out loud?
"And what would happen after you tell him?"
"He would defeat you with his super cool powers."
That might be a problem. Even in his weakened state, we're not sure how much of his power he's regained, and since he remembers it might be more than we had first anticipated.
"He'd probably just think you didn't like me, what proof do you have?"
"For someone who's talking hypothetically you're getting really defensive."
Fuck.
"Umm I guess I got a little too into it. Could you let me go home now? It's getting pretty late, it doesn't seem like I'm going to convince you I'm not suspicious, and my parents will start to worry soon."
He walks away.
Okay. I'll figure out how to deal with him later.
For now, let's find the house I'm staying in. I pull out my phone and start the navigation.
