A/N : Well, actually... I think you all will be surprised after you know her past and think that this is a different story. But, yeah, I'll tell you one hint first, do you remember what I said in introduction like this, 'She wears school uniform with shorts, not skirt, and wears a cape with hood (like Yona always wears) to cover her full body because she thinks her clothes and hair are strange.' Well, figure it out yourselves, I'm going to tell you her past anyway. I hope it's not too boring (I just want to explain about her past this chapter). But, you can skip this if you don't want to know about her past.
Chapter 7 - A Mysterious Person, Her Big Secret and Past Revealed (part 2)
-Flashback-
~Very long time ago~
"Mizu-chan, how about your score?"
"Huh?"
Mizu turned to look at her two best friends, Rei and Yuka, who were also her neighbors.
"Ah, I get perfect score again," Mizu answered while smiling gently a bit.
"Uwaah! You are really smart! With your scores, you will manage to get into that school!", Yuka exclaimed happily.
Rei nodded his head. "Yeah, unfortunately, Yuka can't go into that school with her bad scores." Hearing that, an arrow seemed like pierced into Yuka's heart.
Yuka slammed her hands onto the desk, shouting with anger, "What?! Your scores are normal too!"
"At least my scores are higher than yours," he said with teasing tone.
As they began fighting, Mizu just stared at them. Her smile was plastered on her face, while hoping she would always together with them.
"Hey, Mizu. We're in different class."
After Mizu looked up at the board to see her class, she looked at Rei who was standing next to her.
"Right. Yuka go to other school so I just have one friend in this school."
Rei gave her a smile, then he started to walk. "It's fine. You should find new friends as well. Let's go to our class together."
She followed him from behind while replying, "But, our class are different." Hearing that, he just said, 'Ah I forgot' while laughing.
They walked together to each of their classes. While they were walking, Mizu heard the girls whisper, "Who is that guy?" "He is handsome." "What class is he in?"
'... Rei is popular? He is just like a normal guy for me though... Being a high school student feels different, huh?', Mizu thought.
"Hey, what are you thinking?", Rei suddenly asked, making Mizu snap out of her reverie.
"Ah, no-" Hearing that question, Mizu quickly looked up to see his face, but she stopped her words immediately as she realized his face was so close to hers.
Her face started burning while she was just staring at his face deeply.
'I think my face become red now... What's with this feeling?', she thought to herself.
As time passed by, they were still good friends and both of them were having new friends as well. Mizu didn't mind though, instead she felt that her life become better.
Until... that day came.
Rei has had a fanclub that filled with a lot of girls. One day, the leader of that fanclub, Mei, decided to do something to Mizu.
"Do you have free time? We want to ask you something."
Mei and some of her followers glared at Mizu while standing in front of her desk. Mizu was staring at them back, having a bad feeling. But, she wasn't giving them her smile and decided to ignore them.
"W-What?! Why are you ignoring us?! How dare you!", Mei shouted angrily.
"..." Mizu still didn't say anything.
"D-Do you know who I am?!", she continued again.
Hearing that, Mizu finally responded to her words, however she just giggled.
"So, what? I'm not scared," she replied coldly.
Mei clenched her teeth hearing her answer. She was very angry since that was the first time someone said something like that to her. She then turned around, walking away from her while gritting her teeth.
"Mei-san?"
"Mei-san, are you okay?"
"She isn't nice at all! We can't let her to be close with Rei-kun!"
Her followers grumbled as they still followed her from behind. While stomping her feets, Mei just walked through the hallway in anger.
"Tch! Even though I haven't told her about Rei-kun, she has made me upset!", Mei exclaimed. She then grinned, as she got a new idea. "Hey, I've got an idea."
"What is that?", one of her followers asked.
Mei then replied her again with a devilish smirk.
"We are going to give her some good gifts tomorrow."
"Good morning, Rei."
"Morning, Mizu."
After greeting to each other, they walked as usual to each of their classes. Mizu entered the classroom when someone intentionally bumped into her. Mizu fell because of that.
"Aw, I didn't see you~ Sorry~", said the girl, then she entered the classroom.
Mizu stood up again in confusion, then she opened the door. But, when she opened the door, somehow the class went silent. As if a question mark appeared on her head, she tilted her head and went to her own desk. She then was shocked seeing her desk was filled with full of bad words.
'What...is this?'
*splash*
At the time she saw her desk, a girl -who was one of Mei's followers- flushed water on her body, making her uniform wet.
"Ah, you were stink so I thought you need some water. Well, it's just like your name, 'Mizu'," the girl said casually.
After that, all of Rei's fans in her class laughed at her while the other students were pitying her but they didn't do anything at all to help her.
Mizu didn't reply anything and just began sitting on her desk, ignoring them all.
Perhaps because she was still ignoring her, Mei became angrier. Because of that, the next days, she kept bullying her without being noticed by Rei.
"Mizu! Welcome home," her mother exclaimed as she ran up to her.
"... Yes," Mizu replied almost inaudible.
Mizu then took off her shoes and immediately went upstairs toward her room.
Mizu's mother just stared at her, but she was actually really worried about her since her face looked really pale recently.
In her bedroom, Mizu threw her schoolbag onto her bed, then she clenched her fist.
"... They won't stop. I thought they will stop if I just ignore them. But, if I fight them... I will be expelled from school. I even forgot that she is the principal's daughter. I'm really an idiot..."
'Even though I have done my best to go to this school... Mom and Dad will be sad too.'
After thinking that, she just let it go and tried to live it.
Yuka was waiting for her friends in front of the school gate after school. She then saw Rei walking toward the gate, so she smiled and quickly waved her hand so that Rei would notice her.
"Yuka? What are you doing here?", Rei asked, widened his eyes a bit.
Yuka smiled. "Hehe, just waiting for you and Mizu-chan. Where is she?", she asked as she looked around Rei.
Rei sweatdropped. "She is not with me as you can see."
Hearing that, Yuka replied with a smirk. "Hee~ Even though you like Mizu? Why do you leave her~?"
"S-Shut up! I don't leave her!", Rei looked away from her with a red face.
After teasing him, Yuka remembered something and suddenly became serious, making Rei confused.
Yuka looked at the school building while starting to ask Rei, "... Mizu looks pale recently... Do you know what happen to her?"
Rei shook his head. "I don't know... I'm in different class. When I asked her, she didn't say anything though."
They trailed off, thinking about Mizu in their own mind, until they heard a girl's voice near them.
"That girl pissed me off."
Perhaps Rei and Yuka were interested in what she just said, so they silently listened to her.
"We have been bullying her and she still doesn't give up about Rei?", the other girl who was with her replied.
"What do you mean?"
The girl jolted up after hearing a familiar voice. She then turned around slowly, just to find Rei standing there with scary face.
"You have to explain about that."
After that day, it was one day before Mizu's birthday. She thought it was strange when Mei and her followers didn't bully her again, although it seemed they still glared at her angrily every time they passed each other. She was glad they didn't bully her again though.
However, even though that day was one day before her birthday, her two best friends were nowhere to be found. Her parents had not come back from overseas as well. She was lonely in her room, just with herself.
"... Where are they? I'm so lonely right now...", whispered Mizu to herself while hugging her favourite doll.
"Have they arrived yet?"
A handsome black-haired guy asked to the side-ponytail girl. The guy was known as Rei, and the girl was Yuka, Mizu's best friends.
Yuka looked at her cellphone, looking at the time. "I think they should have arrived. Where are they?"
Rei carried her luggage and gave it to the attendant.
"Mizu's parents invited us to prepare for her birthday tomorrow. But... I can't believe they will give us tickets to go to Singapore with them. They will celebrate her birthday in Singapore just because she has cousins who live there. They are really unusual. Well, it's a holiday, going abroad with free ticket is not bad either," Yuka commented. (A/N : I don't live there. It's just a country that pops in my head)
Rei giggled, as he had given their luggage to the attendant. "Haha, unlike Mizu, right?"
Yuka laughed as well and agreed to him.
"Yuka-chaan~! Rei-kunn~!"
They heard a familliar voice from their behind, then they turned around.
It turned out it was Mizu's mother's voice.
She ran towards them excitedly and hugged them tightly.
"Long time no see~~", she said with very happy voice.
"Um- I can't breath-", Rei tried hard to ask her to let him go, but it seemed like she didn't hear him. While Yuka was already fainted because of her tight hug.
"Release them. It seems they can't breath."
Mizu's father walked towards them while giving them his usual kind and innocent smile. After that, Mizu's mother released them as Yuka and Rei tried to catch their breath. Then, they began chatting with each other.
With very cheerful and weird mother, plus innocent and kind father, Mizu's mother always gave weird ideas while the father just agreed to her because he was just 'too kind' to try to stop people.
A few hours later, they heard the announcement for boarding.
"Ah, it's time," Rei said after listening to the announcement.
"Right," Yuka replied.
They entered the plane and sat on their seats.
They talked about the birthday plan. Mizu's mother said that they had prepared a ticket for her to Singapore on her desk for tomorrow and celebrate her birthday there. Since she had cousins in Singapore as well. They deliberately set out earlier than her. Don't get too confused. Mizu was definitely Japanese.
However, an accident happened.
When the plane had already flown for around 20 minutes, the notice was heard and said that the plane would fell at any time. The passengers were panicked, as well as Mizu's parents, Yuka, and Rei. A few minutes later, the plane shook violently and fell, crashing somewhere.
And then, the news about that plane... spreaded in social media.
Mizu was watching the TV, hearing about the recently news about the plane to Singapore falling that had not been found. Mizu then turned off the TV, and went to her room.
Sitting on her bed, she suddenly looked at a paper on her desk. Why didn't she realize it earlier?
Mizu took up the paper and began to read it.
"I, Yuka, and your parents are going to Singapore with the plane XXXX. We have prepared you a ticket too (look at the back of the paper). Don't be late. We and your cousins have a surprise for you.
- by : Rei"
'Plane XXXX?'
Mizu asked to herself in her mind. It seemed like she had just heard about the news about a plane to Singapore falling. If she remembered again... It was plane XXXX.
"... What?"
Mizu's face became really pale. Her sweats ran down her spine. She then ran out from her room quickly and turned on the TV. The news about the plane was almost in most of the channels. So, she immediately knew the details about it.
"It's a lie... right?", she mumbled to herself.
Her tears started to appear and ran down her cheeks. Her sweats suddenly felt really cold. She was just standing there while looking down at the floor.
After standing there just like about 10 minutes in depression, she wiped her tears and changed her clothes to go outside. She ran outside quickly. Her destination was the airport.
She must know the fact. She was just hoping they all were saved.
She prayed and prayed, hoping to God.
She kept running until she was in the middle of the street to cross the road, but all of sudden, a big truck came in high speed towards Mizu.
Mizu realized the truck come closer. She widened her eyes, her mouth gaped.
At that time, she could feel her head was really in pain, she couldn't move her body, feeling like blood had come out from her body.
She heard vague screaming around her. And then, she couldn't keep opening her eyes, so she began to shut them...
'Where am I...? Am I dead?'
Mizu asked to herself as she just could see darkness around her. She was hit by a truck, of course she was dead.
At least, that's what she thought, until she heard an unfamiliar voice in her mind.
"Miss. Miss, are you alright?", called the voice.
'... Who is that? I never know that voice...'
He called her once again. Somehow, her eyes started to open while he was calling her repeatedly. When she had fully conscious, she saw a yellow-haired boy (is his hair blond or not? The colour of his hair isn't really that blond) smiling and sitting beside her.
His first words were like this.
"You're finally awake, Miss! Why were you fainted?"
At first, Mizu didn't say anything to him, still confused about why was she in that place and why did the boy wear strange clothes.
Without caring about what he said, Mizu began to ask, "Where am I...?"
The boy tilted his head in confusion, but he still answered her with a smile, "You are in Kouka, Miss."
"... Kouka? I've never heard that." Saying that, she began sitting up and dusted off her shorts.
"You've never heard of it? Then, you may come from a very far country. Zeno see, your clothes are strange."
'... Your clothes are far more bizarre than mine.'
"Do you know Japan? That's where I live... I don't know why I'm here though." I decided to ask.
Zeno shook his head, replying, "No. Zeno thinks Zeno's never heard that."
"... Ooh...", She simply answered.
'-Wait a minute.'
Mizu put her pointer finger under her chin, thinking, 'It's strange. I was almost hit by a truck and suddenly I woke up in unfamiliar place. Yeah, it is certainly strange... And the reason for the accident was...'
'My precious family and friends died.'
Her face became pale again after remembering that. The boy noticed that, so he pat her back and whispered, "It's fine. Don't remember something you don't want to remember."
As if miracle happened, she calmed down hearing that. The boy then asked her to stay there and walked away to tell his friends about Mizu that was already awoke.
After that, she met King Hiryuu and the other dragon warriors. They had become her new friends, so she joined them together. She had realized she might be in another world or perhaps she was a time traveller. No one knew about that, because she hid the secret from everyone.
She then decided to try a new life since she couldn't find a way to go back. It might be her destiny that she ended up in that kind of place.
But, what if...
It's not like that?
A/N : I think I have to fix the side story in chapter 2 a bit, yeah, I change Zeno's position with the dragon warriors here (I mean, Zeno is with Mizu, while the dragon warriors are with King Hiryuu in this chapter).
And then, please enjoy this side story of the girl's hatred from previous chapter to Mizu!
The girl's POV
That girl... I really hate her.
She has taken someone I love from me.
Because of her, the one I love hates me.
I really, really, really HATE her.
Even though I still let her close to him, I decide to think about another plan to get rid of her.
Well, this is still nothing.
.
I've thought something like that until I heard the news about the plane. There were no survivors in the accident. And, I heard he was one of the passengers.
I was really in panic, so I searched information about the accident and him.
When I found out that he planned to go to Singapore to celebrate her birthday, I became really angry.
I was very sad and angry, almost couldn't think of anything at all. My tears came out and I just covered my face with both of my hands.
I was so stressed that I could only think to blame one person I hate most...
Mizu.
Next time I see her, I will kill her.
Definitely.
Because I love him so much.
A/N : Err, yeah. She is that kind of girl... Yandere. Sorry I update this so late, too busy with school. At least this chapter is very long.
