Sorry for the delay, I was having a rough time with college and personals things happen to me. I got a job so that took a lot of my time. Sorry for everything people, I will try to update with more regularity.

Sixth card: Day at school (Part 2)

"WE'RE INSIDE AN ANOMALY" Noah screamed terrified, his scream took her by surprise. The other night he looked so focus and confident about fighting, now he was screaming like she did back then. "RUN!"

"WUUAAAHHH!" He grabbed by her hand and start running away. "W-What's happening?!"

"I told you! We're inside anomaly!"

"I know but why?!"

"I don't know but now is not the ti-"

"GOOOOOOO….."

Once again they heard that horrific groan, it probably belonged to the anomaly. She pray that it wasn't close, the big ass spider was more than enough. "What do we do?"

"Run and hide, then we think how to deal with this." Noah's forehead was sweaty and not for running, if he was already this nervous then they were in serious problem. "You know this school better than me, where can we hide without getting notice?"

"The storehouse at the running track, is big and has spots that we can't use as an emergency exit." Noah nodded. "We should be careful, that thing could see us."

"Yes…wait, where's the kaledoiscope?"

"I don't know, when I turn around Ruby wasn't there."

"Oh dieu…" His eyes wined like two big plates, both hands grabbing his hair. "Ohdieuohdieuohdieu." Noah sounded hysteric almost having a heart attack. "fuck….FUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCKKKKK!" Once again he screamed, the boy punched the wall and surprisingly left a hole in it.

"C-Calm down! What's wrong?!"

"What's wrong?! We're trapped in an anomaly without our weapons! How can we defeat the anomaly if we don't have weapons?!

"You can't beat it?!"

"Not alone! And weaponless!"

"GGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" The groan sounded angrier and closer to them.

"Is—is it close?"

"Most likely, we need to move. NOW." But to where? They didn't know where the monster was, so if they tried to run they could go unintentionally towards it. "We don't have time to plan!"

"Let's go!" For his surprise it was Illya who took the initiative. "We're going downstairs, is the longest part of the school and the one with more exists."

"Are you sure?"

"Do you have a better plan?!"

"…let's go." They both ran towards the stairs, heading to the first floor. "The groans should tell us how close we are from it."

But then what? Ruby wasn't here, so Illyasviel was totally incapable of fighting it. He could use a spell or two but without his rapier he was in the same spot. They merely managed to kill the last one with their equipment.

Maybe if they use the school environment at their disposal they could have a chance to defeat it. Exploding the gas? Drowning the floor and electrocute it? Or fire up the entire building?

But first they needed to know what they were against without that thing notices them…

"Illyasviel, where can we hide without getting notice?"

"In the maintainer locker, Tatsuko uses it to hide from Taiga when she breaks something."

"Does it work?"

"The first three times…"

"Okay, is better than nothing."

Already downstairs, the boy follow the lead of the girl and find the locker. "Hold on." Noah stopped and stare at the wall-

*POW*

He punched a hole in the wall, making an echo at the hall. "W-Why did you that?"

"Proving a theory-"

"GOOOOOOOOO!"

The monster screamed, it was getting close to them. His theory was right, the monster guide itself by sound. It groaned when they yell at each other, so making a strong noise will guide it to them.

"Hide."

They went inside the locker, the place was tiny and they realize the moment they were crushing each other.

"Noah-kun, you're-"

"Hush."

The sound of footstep echoed through the hall, the anomaly was getting close to them. That thing was moaning and whispering stuff that they couldn't understand. Illyasviel got a flashback of the big spider because of the sudden rotten odor. This one in particular smelled like wasted food and like someone didn't flush the toilet for days.

She couldn't tell which one was the worst: the spider or this thing?

"Goooo…"

"Is here…"

"Shhh"

They look outside with the hinges, the anomaly didn't possess a beast-like form like the previous ones.

How much they would have love that it has that kind of form. Because today anomaly had a form that it will hunt them forever….

It was a girl's body of their age. She was wearing the same uniform as Illya but that was the only human qualities she has because the anomaly looked like it has come from a Ring movie. Her hair was long and black but completely soaked in dirt and water. Her skin was pale and peels off. Her clothes were turned apart and stained in brown…

"ah-" She let out a tiny weep, almost a silent one.

But to loud for the girl to hear.

*Crack*

The ghost girl neck make an entire 180 swoop towards their direction. Illyasviel covered her mouth by instinct. "goo-GOOO" It wasn't a moaning, she was choking with something. She walked towards the locker, staggering clumsy. They were looking at her face, that somehow was more haunting that her body.

Her eyes were shut black, so she was completely guiding herself with her earing. Lips were inflamed and her mouth….they could see a black matter coming out of it constantly. Never stopping coming out from her mouth

Illya was shaking in fear, tears were coming out of her eyes. She was trying her best to not make a sound but she was completely terrified. She wanted to run away and go home.

But then someone grabbed her hand. Her eyes turned to the boy at her side, he was staring at her right to the eyes. He didn't say anything but she feel how his hand was shaking too. They keep quiet and praying to not be find out by her.

The anomaly stared at the door for a while until it decided that it was enough and walk away. Both kids keep their mouth shut until they don't longer hear the monster footstep in the hall.

Noah slowly opened the door, being careful it wasn't a trap. "She is gone…" His classmate didn't say anything, she came out of the locker silently.

"W-Why did…why did the anomaly look like that? I thought they are look like monsters."

"Anomalies don't have a definitive form. They can be like animals, like the ones we fought. Or have…THAT kind of form. Or don't have a form at all."

"Are you sure that is an anomaly? She looks more like a ghost…"

"She is an anomaly. Trust me."

"Then what should we do?"

"….if this school have running gas or water, we could set up a trap for it. That thing doesn't see but follows sound. So if we managed to use her weakness at our advantage we could take it out."

"Isn't that a little excessive? We'll being destroying the school."

"As a matter of fact, no. This anomaly is outside the realm we usually live on, so any damage we do in this world will not-"

*Slam*

The classroom doors behind his back suddenly opened, inside of the rooms transparent humanoids forms walked into the hallway. They weren't large, as the anomaly they resemble children from their school.

Actually, they resemble children for their school too much.

"Isn't that Mimi?" Illyasviel managed to recognize the figure of her friend. "Also Suzuka, Tatsuko and Nanaki. Why are they….?"

Even so she could see them, they ignore them. Also, they couldn't hear anything that they were talking about. "Noah-kun, what's going on?"

Before he could answer something, all the students gather towards the wall he recently punched.

"T-They can see it. How?"

"We are trapped in another realm but this realm affects the other one…" Noah said to himself, completely shocked of their discover.

"Hold on, if they can see what we do then…your plan…"

"No…." His eyes wined in realization. "…the contrary, this is good."

When the bell ring, everyone ran away from the classroom. Today's lesson looked troublesome for them. Or maybe they wanted to talk with Noah Haranka and Illyasviel von Einsbern. She didn't understand why he punch her so violently, neither she truly care about their relationship. It wasn't her business.

"Hey look at this! There's a hole on the wall!" A classmate yelled. There was in fact a hole on the wall outside her classroom. It wasn't big and looked very recently.

"Yeah, why?!"

"I didn't hear anything, you?"

"At all."

"Okay, split students." Fujimura-sensei came out of the classroom. "What the…" She was surprised and confused at her students. "Class, don't stand here. I'm going to call the janitor and I don't want to see anyone here when I come back."

It was rare. She didn't expect something like this today.

But like that fight, it wasn't of her concern.

Miyu Edelfelt walked away from the scene. She didn't want to talk or interact with no one. They weren't part of her concerns. Although, she wonder why she didn't see those two when she went out.

She took her launches at the rooftop, so that no one could bother her. Her first day at school was full of those nuisances, specially that hair bun hyperactive girl that didn't stop talking at her. That was the only time that she almost felt the necessity of hurting someone.

The girl reached her destination. She sit down on the fence and opened her lunch box. It wasn't nothing special, just rice and tea.

"MIYUUUUUUU-SAAAAAAANNNNN!" Kaleid Ruby fly towards her while crying. "I FIND YOUUUUU!"

"W-What?"

"I can't find Illya-san! She disappeared!"

"Calm down, sister." Kaleid Sapphire came out of her hat. "Explain the situation to us."

"Okay. We were standing at the hallway, both Illya-san and Noah were argue about their fight and training. It got pretty heated between them and I tried to stop them but fail…and then they…disappeared."

"What you mean?"

"They were there and then they weren't! Gone! Nada! I can't feel Illya-san or find a track her! There's no track of those two!"

Miyu was genially intrigued by her problem. People disappearing were a thing to be concern but two people disappearing in thin air was truly odd and concerning. What happen to those two?

"Sapphire, there's another magus in this school besides Noah and me?"

"Lluvia-sama made an investigation of this school before enlist you, Miyu-sama. They aren't magus child besides you and Noah-sama."

"What was it then?"

"An anomaly?"

"That's impossible, we should have detect it way before-"

*CRACK*

Suddenly the floor broke. "What?" A line was forming on the floor. "Sapphire?!" Miyu was scared of what's going on.

"Miyu-sama, look!" Sapphire pointed the crack that it was forming a word:

Noah

"Noah?" She looked at the words with atonement. "Noah…is here?" But how? She couldn't see no one around here, was he invisible? "Where are you?" The girl asked scared, not knowing what's going on. "Noah?"

*Crack*

The floor was staring to crack once again. Did he hear her? Was he here?

Illya

Ilya? Was Illyasviel with him? Or it was Illyasviel from the beginning?

"Now is "Illya", what does this mean, sister?"

"Hold it….I think I got it!" Ruby said in realization, she fire to the ground and made two holes. "All right, let's try this!"

Noah-kun. Illya-san. If you're able to read this then crack the left hole which means yes.

Ruby used her power to make an air message, what did she realized?

*Bang*

One of the holes she made suddenly grow bigger…. "Good! Okay, let's try this!"

The hole at the left means "no", the right one is "yes"

Do you understand?

*YES*

I am talking with Noah and Illya?

*YES*

Can any of you hear us?

*NO*

Can you see us?

*YES*

There's an anomaly with you two?

*YES*

They freeze for a moment, trying to compose themselves after know that. These two were in more danger than they thought. The red mystic code was worried, how didn't she detect the anomaly before? IT was at the school, a place that she went that last days! Not even the boy told her about this and probably didn't know either.

Noah was professional, formal and strict. There's no way that he didn't check out the school for anomalies, so…how did this happen?

No, it was not the time to asking questions. They needed to act.

There's something we can do to help you?

*Yes*

To say that Suzuka was into boys, was an oversimplification. She was into was boys into boys, people call those type of girls "Fujoshis". And she was proud of it. Sure, that didn't gave her many friends and Harada never stops harassing her for her tastes but she didn't care.

It was her life and her tastes, everyone else could mind their own business. She never tried to get close to boys, every boy in her class was boring or stupid or Harada. But she was getting intrigued by the new transfer student.

Noah was…odd. At first he looked like your typical shota boy that could melt all girls until she had that conversation with him the other day. He looked more normal that she thought, not that charming and adorable little boy that he appears to be. Looks can be deceiving, they said.

And that phrase was further justified when he punch Illya on her face. It wasn't an accident, he totally went with the intention of hitting her. Why? She didn't do anything to him.

Speaking of her, something was wrong with her. She was upset by something for sure, enough to scream and hit (by accident) Noah. This was the first time that Illya was sent to detention.

Taiga scolded them both and they are standing outside the hall holding buckets full of waters.

Okay, they didn't do that in this school but she could dream, right?

*Riiiinggg!*

The break bell sounded, she almost got deaf by the enthusiastic scream of Tatsuko. Everyone run away from the classroom like it was on fire, did they hate math that much?

"Hey, look at this!" A boy screamed outside the classroom. "There's a whole in the wall!"

'A whole in the wall'? That was something to see…

"He is right? When this happen?!"

"I didn't heard nothing, you?"

"At all."

"Okay, split students." Fujimura-sensei came out of the classroom. "What the…" She was surprised and confused at her students. "Class, don't stand here. I'm going to call the janitor and I don't want to see anyone here when I come back."

The teacher walked towards the stairs, who make that whole? There's no way that they couldn't hear when it was make, no one was outside except….

"Where are Illya-chan and Haranka-kun?" Mimi asked a very good question. She expected them to be outside with two buckets of water but they weren't here.

"Maybe they are at the principal's office, remember when Tatsuko broke that window last year?"

"I didn't break it! I fall into it!"

"Because you were running through the halls like a madman."

"But you say that I couldn't run 100 meters in 30 seconds!"

"In the track field! Not in the school hall!"

"Even so, that Illya gets into detention and Haranka-kun…."

"Yeah, what was that?!"

"I don't know girls, but that wasn't normal."

"We see walk with him before, was he like this with you?"

"Well…he was different. At school he looked very dashing and nice, but when I told to him he sound tired and uninterested."

"Did something happen to him?"

"He says that he lives alone because of a family problem."

"Really?! What thing?!"

"Don't know, he didn't want to talk about it."

"My little brother has a boy in his class that his parents are divorcing." Mimi commented with a sad tone. "He said that he become very rude and snap very easily."

"Then Haranka's parents are getting divorce?"

"Maybe, maybe it something else. Whatever the reason is, is not excuse to punch Illya." He might be passing trough a bad moment but that didn't excuse to punch a girl that violently. "Although, Illya did hit him first."

"C'mon that was an accident, Noah in the other hand punch her on purpose."

"I'm not trying to excuse him but something happen to Illya as well. She was upset by something."

"Yeah, she got a fight with her bro!"

"Tatsuko, do you honestly believe that?"

"Of course! Why would Illya lie about that?"

"I know Illya's brother, he is a pretty nice guy and Illya really loves him. It's really weird that they got into a fight."

"Perhaps he got a girlfriend and she is jealous because he cheated on her!"

"That would be more unlikely, that guy has the vibes of generic harem protagonist. A girl could be but naked and with a sign saying "make me a baby" and he will still don't get a clue."

"Y-You shouldn't put it in that way, Suzuka-chan…"

"My point is: something happen to Illya that really upset her. Enough that he reacted badly and hit Haranka-kun."

"But what? I can't think of anything that could upset her so much…"

Indeed, what happen? Maybe her fight wasn't with her brother rather her parents, no, her parents were oversea and they merely appear in her house. Although she had those two nannies living there, she argue with them?

Even if the she was telling the true, what she fight about? Now Tatsuko conclusion sounded a little more cohesive but logics tell her the opposite.

"Damn it, this is heavy." They were elementary students, they shouldn't be discussing about stuff like this. Yes, Illya was her friend and she deeply care about her wellbeing but this feel a little uncomfortable.

Even if she didn't like it, she needed to do it. She would do the same for her.

*RRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!*

The bell sounded very loudly but that couldn't be. They have at least half an hour and it merely happen like…what, ten minutes?

"No way! Recess is over?!" Tatsuko was almost crying, totally believing that.

"That's not the recess's bell, is-"

"FIRE!" A student screamed in panic, in a blink the other students started to panic and scream of fear.

"No way! There's a fire!"

"That's not something to be glad about, Tatsuko!"

"There's really a fire?!"

"I don't know, maybe, maybe is Harada touching the fire alarm as a joke again."

But it wasn't him this time, when a Teacher rushed to the halls and the other teachers were evacuating their classrooms she knew that it was serious.

"Okay, class, calm down." Taiga came back to her classroom and surprisingly sounded very mature. "We practice this before, follow my lead and don't break the line."

"Sensei, what about Illya and Haranka-kun?"

"They are at the principal office, probably even with him at the time. Don't worry they are fine, so let's be calm and go outside, okay?" Taiga's smile calm them down a lot, well, she was supposed to be a teacher after all.

She only hope that if this was a real fire, those two would be fine.

"Are you sure this is going to work?"

"Do you have a better plan?"

She wanted to say something to him but she couldn't find the words. He asked Miyu to start up a fire and then ring the fire alarm so that no one was inside when they fight the anomaly. It was good, she didn't want anyone to get hurt by that thing. Even so…

"I don't like it, at all."

"If you have an idea, I'm open to hear it."

"What about not use me as bait?!"

"Don't. Scream. Or you want us to get us kill?"

"It sounds like you want me to get ME kill."

"Nonsense, if you die then I will have to find a way to kill the anomaly by my own. And let's not talk the horrible mess that is to play out a fake death/disappearance."

"You think that far?"

"Forget it. Illyasviel, the plan depends that the anomaly bites the bait."

"ME."

"Illyasviel, I'm having a horrible day the last thing I need is your constant complainings." Her left eye was twitching in anger. "Wait, actually, complain. Complain about everything, the louder the better."

"I really want to punch you, right now…"

"You don't know how to do it."

Seriously? Seriously?! He was mocking it for that right now?! If they weren't in a death situation she will punch him!

"Listen, if the plans works like I planned we will be back without notice it."

"What happen if I die?!"

"That's why I'm here, so go and catch that anomaly." Noah pushed her to the hall, when she turned her head back he was no longer there to be see.

The albino girl was terrified, words didn't come out of her mouth. She was alone and defend lees, inside the same building with a horrible monsters. A second ago she was angry and now she is almost pissing herself.

Illya walked slowly, she saw the transparent bodies of children and teachers coming out of the classrooms. Miyu did her part of the plan, when Noah punched the wall and break it they realize that this place can affect the other world. So if they not careful other students could get hurt.

This was the only part that she agree with Noah.

But she couldn't accept to be the bait! He was a boy! He was the magus! He should fight the monster not her! If he didn't behave like a jerk! He beat to tears and expect her to be grateful! What kind of person thinks like that?! And what he wanted from her?! She was here by pure coincidence!

Why she accept in the first place?

"Gooooooouuuuu…"

Illya froze where she was, that monster reappeared alongside her horrid smell. Now that it was in front of her, she looked more scarier.

Her legs were shaking in fear, was she crying? Yes, she was crying of fear. The fight with that fire spider looks like a dream compared with this thing. She didn't like horror movies but she knew how "the ring" monster looked like, just like the one before her.

What was the plan? What he was going to do? That thing was about to kill her!

"GGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!"

The anomaly started to scream like she was dying. Tentacles emerged from her back, making her look like a lovecraft monster. Her eyes were stared to tear heavily, she was froze of fear. She couldn't scream, not matter how much she wanted it. She just stood there like a statue.

"I don't want to die." She though while the monster was about to strike her. But then she saw him, coming at full speed behind the anomaly. His right hand was glowing with electricity.

"Ashura!" A lightning strike the monster with full strength, the attack pushed the girl away. But before she could hit the floor someone cathching.

"Aahhh!" She finally started screaming, having a delayed reaction towards the anomaly. "Nooooo!"

"Illyasviel, calm down!"

"Let me!"

"Illyasviel, it's me!" The blonde boy grabbed her face with both hands and forced her to see his eyes. "It's me, Noah. Please calm down." She stopped rubbling around and look him at the eyes.

"N-Noah-kun..?"

"Yes, now-"

"YOU JERK!" Illyasviel slapped him, the boy was surprised that the girl suddenly hit him. "That thing almost kill me! What were you thinking?!"

"I need a distraction so I could sneak and attack her for behind. The Ashura is one of my strongest attacks but is too direct and attack an anomaly upfront is suicidal."

"What if I die?!"

"You didn't so be grateful."

"Yeah, thank you for using me as bait for killing a monster." She didn't try to hide her sarcasm away but she didn't care. The girl saw the damage that his attack made…."When did I get here?!" Without release, she was far away from when she stood before the attack. How far was she launch?!

Maybe she should be thankful, if he didn't catch her she could have get very hurt. Now looking at the hall, it was pretty destroy. The ceiling, floor and walls were blow up by the attack.

"How strong he is?!" "Hold on if you could do this then why don't do this for the beginning?"

"I told you, a direct attack is suicidal. Besides I needed some time to cast the attack." Noah answered. "Now if you can…" Noah stop talking and he stare at his surroundings.

"Did something happen?" She was take away as well, she looked around and she couldn't see nothing different….she couldn't see nothing different! Which means…!

"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

That thing screamed and it sounded angry. "Merde!" Noah cursed in french. "Stand up we need to-!"

*Crush*

Illyasviels's pale face was tainted by blood, a tentacle pierced the boy chest in a blink of an eye. His white shirt was becoming red pretty quickly. "Buahh!" He spitted great amounts of blood out of his mouth.

"Gouaahh!" The anomaly emerged from the rumbles, it look like she took a great deal of damage from his attack but it wasn't enough.

"Aaahhh!" The boy grabbed the tentacle piercing his chest. "Putain de polpe!" His face was full of pain and anger, just by looking at his eyes she could tell that he wanted to rip that anomaly into pieces. It didn't help that another one crush his shoulder. "AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!"

"NOAH!" Illy screamed while seeing how the anomaly pulling him towards it. "NOOO!" Her screams echoed through the hall. The anomaly was creating black and dirty water from her body.

The blonde kid tried to break free but the pain and the strength of the anomaly was too much for him. The monster was looking at him or at least it looks like it was looking at him, it was impossible to known because of her lack of eyes.

Noah tried to say something but he couldn't end it, the blood in his mouth didn't allow him to speak properly.

Illya on the other hand, couldn't say and do anything. She was petrified by fear, she has never seen so much blood in her life not even in horror movies. As a matter of fact, those movies looks like kids movies compared to this scene. A warm liquid was leaking between her legs, probably she already wet herself.

"What do I do?" She didn't have Ruby and she didn't have a weapon to help him. "What do I do?!" He was going to die and she will do nothing! "WHAT DO I DO?!"

Noah was looking at the anomaly, he couldn't cast nothing because of the blood inside his mouth. How can he be this stupid?! This was stupid from the very beginning! If he could take the anomaly that easily he wouldn't have make this useless plan!

Dammit! Those damn tentacles were too painful for him! And the smell didn't help either! If he could only strike her with one of his attacks!

"AAAAAAhhhhh!"

*Crash!*

"Guah?"

The anomaly head was hit by a pebble, the one who throw it was no other than Illya. She didn't look well at all, her eyes were red for crying, her uniform was tainted by his blood and dust. She was terrified, she could merely stand and look at the monster. Rather than a heroic act, she look completely patethic.

But that was enough for him.

"STELLLA!" A lightning bolt came out of his fingers, making full constact with the anomaly. The beast was thow out of the building, allow him to escape her embrace.

"NOAH-KUN!" Illya managed to catch him. "Ohgodohgodohgodohgodohgod"

"I-"

"Don't talk!" Her tears didn't stop falling but still she decided to give him her shoulder. "We should hide before that thing find us!" Noah didn't respond but she doubted that he wanted to say something against with.

He merely fight and he was already out, they shouldn't have to fight it from the beginning. There was no way to kill that thing without Ruby and his sword, so the only thing that they could do was to run away from it and hide.

"Please don't die. Please don't die. Please don't die. Please don't die." The blood of his wounds was spreading on her clothes, it feel sticky and heavy. She wanted to throw up but she resist the urge.

She could hear a sound outside the school, the monster was angry and wanted to kill them. They needed to hide somewhere. She remembered what they did when it appeared the first time, both children enter one of the empty classrooms. The magic girl tried her best to not make any sound while hiding under the desk.

"What are you-?"

"Sshhh!"

"GGGGGGGGGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The anomaly screamed, the girl froze where she was. She tried to not to scream, not to cry, not to breathe, not to move, not do anything.

"Please go." They couldn't see what happen outside,they were doing their best to hide their bodies under the desk. "Don't come. Don't come. Don't come." She could smell that hing from hear, she felt the vomit about to coming out of her mouth. Vomiting will tell their position, so the girl didn't have other choice but to swallow it. It was horrible, the taste was dry and disgusting. A single tear fell down from her eye as an reaction.

"Guoooh…ha!" The monster was angry and frustrated, thankfully the monster didn't come inside and decided to go away probably thinking that they were somewhere else.

The smell was starting to fade away, when it was completely gone the girl finally decided to throw up.

"Illyasviel, are you alright?"

"No…" The girl clean her lips and look surprised at the wounded boy. "Noah-kun! You're hurt!"

"Don't worry I'm alright now."

"No, you got stab by that…what?" What was before her was something outstanding, a second ago the boy had two holes in his body that could easily kill anyone but now those wounds were gone. "H-How-?" Before she could say something Noah covered her mouth, he looked on edge like someone discovered something bad.

"Don't say anything." He was tired, while his wounds were gone he was still exhausted from the pain. "If you dare to say this to anyone, even to that stick…I…I will kill you."

*Slap!*

Having enough of him, the girl slapped him in the face. "Tu!"

*Slap!"

And again.

*Slap!*

And again

*Slap!*

And ag-

"ARRÊTEZ!" The boy screamed something in his native tongue, but looking at his face and the context it probably yelled her to stop.

While she was still crying, she didn't hide her anger from him and he could easily tell. "What you're going to do, Haranka?" This was the first time she called him by his last name, showing the lack of trust towards the boy. "Are you going to hit me just like you did this morning or that punch that you give to me in front of everyone? O-Or you finally going to kill me? Because is either that thing or you, so I don't have many options."

"Listen-"

"NO! You listen to me! I'm tired of this! I don't want to fight giants spiders or the ring girl! I don't want to die!...I help you, I save you life from that thing even when I was wetting myself! I HELP YOU!"

"YOU THINK I WANT ANY OF THIS?!" The boy screamed. "Sure, Illyasviel, I fucking wanted to travel alone to a foreign country to fight this things! I wanted to be pair with two spoiled girls who couldn't keep their stupid prides on check! And I surely wanted to be with an useless girl and fight against an anomaly armless!"

"How is that my fault?! Huh?! Thinks didn't go how you wanted so what?! You think that you're the only one that has problems?!"

"I'm pretty sure that having a 4 or getting scolded by your teaching is the same that fighting monsters that could end up the population of the city."

"God, you're...you're such an stupid arrogant….b-bitch!"

"And you're an useless baby that should still use diapers." Illya got completely frustrated by his comment.

"Oh yeah, sure, try not to be scare by a girl with no eyes and tentacles coming out form her body."

"I wasn't scare at all."

"….then why your hand is shaking?"

The boy wined his eyes and look to his left hand, it was clearly shaking. He wasn't different from any other boy, hiding his fears with ange-

*Crack*

Noah crushed his hand to the point that he completely broke. "Now is not."

"You…you are out of your mind…" Illyasviel said with a complete lack of emotion. "What's wrong with you?"

"What's wrong with me? What's wrong? I tell you what's wrong, my partner is a coward that can't fight or deal with pressure."

"Then what you want from me?"

"I want you to distract that thing so I can kill her."

"Are..are you insane?! That thing will kill us both!"

"No if we do this like I plan."

"Oh….OH! That's great! Sure, last time worked so well!"

"I was take out of guard, it won't happen again."

"Haranka, I watch to many shows to know that isn't truth." Noah didn't reply to that. "Okay, listen, we can fight that thing at least not now. We need to run and find Miyu."

"No! We need to defeat it! Now!"

"Why?!"

"Because is-"

"Not that! Why we needed to fight this anomaly? No one can see her, neither can't talk or interact with others so what gives?! Maybe those magus girls or Miyu can help us to exist this place. But we can fight this thing or we are going to get kill."

"Speak for yourself, I have to kill this thing."

"Why? Why you have to?"

"Because I have to."

"But why?"

"I HAVE TO DO IT!" He exploded but with waterly eyes. "I have to do it. I must do it."

"B-But why you…?"

"…I don't have to explain myself, so you either help or-"

"Or what? Y-you're going to kill me?"

"Don't push me, Illyasviel." The boy got closer to her and trying to look menacing.

"Do it." She was scared but at the same time she was dead serious. "Is either you or that thing so…do it."

Noah stared at her with wide open eyes, he was completely livid. Illyaviel completely regret her decision when he pinned her down and his fist was starting to sparkle. She should be crying or screaming, at least trying to escape but she was calm and still. She looked at his eyes with no emotion, like accepting her fate.

Noah was erratic, hysteric, she never see someone like this except in movies. He couldn't see his face but only his eyes, they were lost.

"Your hand is shaking…" It was the only thing she could say.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Noah let her go and fell to the ground. "AAAAAHHHH!" He constantly hit the floor, breaking it apart and hurting himself. "MERDE! MERDE! MERDE! MERDE! MERDE!" He was breaking apart, Illyasviel was lost of words. "Ah!" He hit his forehead against the floor. "AH! AH! AH! AH! AH! AH! AH! AH! AH! AH! AH! AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Her fear coming back to her as well her tears, this scene was hurting her even if he was Noah.

"Why?! Why can't do a single thing well?! Why I mess up?! I train! I worked hard! Why?! WHYYYYY?!" He breakdown, he was at his limit and he breakdown. "ha…haa…hhaa…" He was crying and so she.

Illya went to him, he looked like hell. His hair was messy and his face covered in blood. But his eyes, his eyes were dead. He looked exhausted.

"Noah-kun?"

"… do it…."

"W-What?"

"Go find Edelfelt, tell her to go with her sister they will help you…" His tone was completely down and empty, he didn't yell or sounded angry.

"But…and you?"

"I will deal with the anomaly, you go away and run. You right, you will die if you fight that thing."

"But you will die if you go alone."

"Better me than you, besides, you see it. I can heal myself."

"No, no, no I will not let you go."

"Go away, Illyasviel."

"No, I won't let you die!"

"Please, Illyasviel!" Noah begged her, catching her off guard. "Please…let me do…something right for once…" Noah was about to cry again but he was holding his tears back. "Please."

*Slap!"

Illyasviel slapped him one more time, the boy didn't say anything but Illyasviel was shaking and crying wihtou control. "You're…you are…the worst!"

"Ill-"

"SHUT UP! Shut up, just shut up, you big idiot! H-How can you say all those things?! How can you throw away your life like this?"

"Didn't you hate me?"

"I hate you! I hate like more than I hate anyone else but that doesn't mean I want you to die!" The girl was crying angrily. "I don't-I don't want you to go and die for whatever stupid reason you have! I won't let you do it!" Illya pointed her finger. "We're going to find Miyu and get out of here, and we get out you're going to apologize for all the things you did to me today, allright?"

"Y-Yes."

"Good, now lets-"

"GGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The anomaly screamed, meaning that she find them.

"Watch out!" Noah pulled her down, merely dodging the rampaging tentacle that destroyed the entire classroom. The kids looked at the tentacle and grimaced.

"What about running now?"

"A splendid idea." Noah grabbed Illysviel. "Are you scared of heights?"

"Yes."

"Then forgive me for doing this."

"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaa?!" In a flash of light they rushed towards the window, Noah used his body to crash the window. They were on the second floor, so the fall could be fatal. "Kyaaah!"

"Calm down, we're down."

"Eh?" They were already outside the building without a scratch.

"Are you hurt?"

"N-No"

"GOOAAAAH!"

"God, that thing doesn't give up!"

"Indeed." Before they could say something else, the transparent figures of multiple teachers appears at their sides. They see that the entire school was outside, following the fire protocol like they should. "They are too many."

"Yes…Noah-kun, blow up something."

"what?"

"Blow up something, anything, we need to take this people out of here before they get hurt."

"I-I understand, but Illyasviel, I can make this attacks forever. I have a limit for how much I can shot in a day."

"How many more can you do?"

"Three more Ashura…I think. But if I use the three or two more, I won't have enough to even use my flash speed."

"Goooooo….." They heard the anomaly coming close to here, without wasting anytime, Noah casted one of his Ashura. He blow up the wall before him, it worked because everyone started to run away from there.

"That's settle it but we still have this problem."

"That-That thing will follow us?"

"Most likely, we can run if you want but I'm warn you that I don't have energy left." His face was telling her the same, the boy was at his limit.

Could they make to Miyu before that thing catches them? Noah could merely use another lighting bolt at it, and the first attempt didn't….

"He uses electricity." Thunder were that, right? Electricity. "Noah-Kun, I think that your original plan can actually work…"

"What you mean?"

"Can you…shot another thunder?"

"Not as strong as before but I can, what you want to do?"

"Have you ever see what happen when you throw a toaster into a pool?" Noah stared at her with confusion but he immediately understand what she mean. "We have a pool for P.E, if we throw it inside it and you lunch your attack."

"It could work….but how we throw it?"

"I will make her go there?"

"Are you sure?"

"No…no really, but we kinda out of options…."

"Be…be careful, please…"

"I will."

Noah leave him alone and starting to run. It was at this moment that she was grateful for being the best at the running track, otherwise she wouldn't be able to fo this. This was stupid and reckless but…damn it.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" She screamed as loud as she could, maybe all those screams that couldn't get out now were breaking free.

The poolside wasn't far away, she see the fence and commence to climb it. She was losing air for all the running and screaming, but somehow she managed to do it. Now inside the poolside she started to do it again.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Her throat hurts, she was running out of air. "AAAAAAHHHHH!" Now she was losing volume and force from before. "C'mon…haa…haa…aaaaaaaahh!...ah-COME HERE!"

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The monster came out running from inside the building, destroying everything at its path. Tentacles were already coming out of the body, ready to kill her.

Illyasviel was looking at that monster coming at her, she was scared and tired. She could merely care about moving.

But all those things fade away when she saw the boy rushing towards the monster.

"MOVE!" Noah tackled the anomaly and Illya reacted at time to dodge it.

"GGGGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The monster was thrown into the pool, it was struggling to get out of there.

"Do it!"

"Ashura!"

*Kaboom*

"AAAAAAAHHHh/KYYYYYYAAAAHHH!" They both screamed at the same time when his attack throw them out of the poolside.

"KUUUUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The anomaly screamed of pain, the water was conducting all the electricity towards her body. That same boy was sparkling with electricity, like a electronic devise having a overdrive and exploding.

The screams of agony echoed everywhere, but the two children were the only one who heard it. All the pool was boiling in great heat, the monster was being roasted alive like an animal.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The lightings were coming out of the pool, Noah shielded the girl with his body even though none of the lightings hit them. But the windows inside the school were boasting and the walls cracking.

Finally, the anomaly stopped screaming and started to melt. And in a blink of an eye, the sky and everything was returning back to normal

The children were hysteric, the firefighters, ambulances and even the police was here. Whatever the anomaly was, it was powerful. It was a miracle that no one got hurt or kill by it. The teachers were trying to calm the students, waiting the parents to come here and pick them up.

The police was doing their best to hold the terrified crowd of civilians and reporters from coming forward.

Fujiwura-sensei was screaming at the firefighters that two of her students were missing, it was quite disturbing seeing her this afraid and hysteric. But she was right, those two were still missing or rather trapped inside an anomaly.

Ever since she pulled the fire alarm, they hadn't contact her anymore. Did they kill the anomaly or they were killed? Should she sneak out and try to go inside that place? If any of those two died it could affect negatively her life…

"WE HAVE TWO! OPEN THE AMBULANCE!" A firefighters came as fast as a man could go, holding two children in their arms.

"ILLYA!" One of her friends screamed in horror, she didn't know her name but she looked that she was witnessing a nightmare.

"What happen to them?" Their teacher asked in tears.

"They were under a broken ceiling, don't worry we're going to take care of them."

"The beds are ready!"

"Good, let's go!" The two children were put inside the ambulance and take away. Everyone was screaming, Illyasviel group of friends were crying their eyes out while the reporters were taking pictures like it was some great news.

She, for the other hand, couldn't care less. It wasn't her problem.
