Shadow's Light

Returning 'Home'

"Chiyoko! Let me remind you that our group isn't just for being attackers." the familiar voice of the girl rang. "Lets not forget we're all rounders." she started and closed her eyes.

I stared in astonishment as Chiyoko started dodging the rabbit while making a shield. Meanwhile, 'Hat-chan' looked like she was trying to harness her energy to make a major asteroid storm.

It all happened so fast, it happened in a second I bet. All at once the huge amount of trion launched itself aiming directly to the rabbit. The shield Chiyoko made resisted for a little bit, but it wasn't enough. At the same time Chiyoko set the final strike, wrapping her ribbons around the rabbit, she transformed the ribbons into long blades wrapped around. In one swift movement she cut the rabbit with the strong blades at full force. It looked like a tie, it seemed that they both defeated it at the same time.

"Chiyokooo, why did you go easy on me!" the midnight hair girl announced, unaffected by the amount of trion she wasted.

"Well, you had to release some trion, so why not have some with it." Chiyoko shrugged turning off her trigger.

My friends and I stood amazed at the girls in from of us, they where so strong, and yet they talked like it was nothing. I want to be strong, I want to be able to go on away missions. I want to see my brother.

Chiyoko's normal body was wearing the exact same clothing, only she had a black headband with a bow on top. The headband brought back the long side bangs from her much longer light brown and dyed blue ends that moved with the wind.

"Chiyoko! Hatsu!" a high voice yelled, a figure in the distance came closer. "Sumiye and I have come to collect you so we can finally get food!"

The high voice came from a girl with long straight dark brown hair while wearing a black and white striped shirt with a thin blue jean jacket. The girl had a fun smile on her face, her hair rucked behind her ear revealing chained side earrings.

"Ahh! That girl has spikes coming out of her ears!" Yuma-kun noticed pointing at the spiked headphones.

The girl turned around to face us and smiled, "Oh hi there! Don't worry its just my headphones make it look like spikes are coming out, don't worry I'm not injured or anything." she said in a perky tone. "See not harmful at all!" she took out the headphones and placed them on a long chain around her neck.

"Honoka, its your turn to deal with Hatsu." a cool voice announced from a red headed girl with black fingerless gloves.

"Aww I hate it when its my turn." she pouted taking a long silver blade from Sumiye.

"Heh its not a walk in the park for me either! Just do it already, I'm already in trion mode." Hatsu braced herself as she spread her body apart.

Honoka gave a nod, and in a few quick movements. Hatsu's body was ripped to pieces by the blade. Her arms and legs separated, and worst of all. The head of the girl was sliced off, rolling away in the distance. Trion was everywhere, I stared in shock. Trembling in fear, why would anyone do this to a teammate? I clenched my fists, Konami-senpai ready to attack the barbaric girl.

A bright blinding light shone, the pieces of the broken girl in front of me recollected, forming like nothing happened. Hatsu jumped up looking like she can run miles."Thanks Honoka, trion overload is a pain!" she complained in her normal body, once again wearing the same clothes.

Sumiye glanced at our group, not surprised by our shock. She leaned over to her friends and whispered something to the group, making them all tense. They slowly all lifted their heads and looked at us, flashing us a forced smile.

Hatsu walked to us transfixed by our group. Her friends watching her closely, Chiyoko was filming her with a camera that came from Sumiye's backpack. "After all these years..."she started staring, her green eyes boring into another, "I get to see you again. I get to see my little brother!" she rushed to the shocked black haired boy trapping him in a hug.

"O-oh. I-I missed you Hatsu." my leader announced as Tamakoma gaped at him.

"I missed you Osamu, after everything I got half of my goal. Only 3 1/2 more team goals to complete." she whispered buried into the crook of my captain's neck.

Tamakoma all stared in shock at the girl, she was so strong. She was powerful. She was Osamu's older sister. "Hatsu, you're 19 now aren't you?" Osamu asked while still hugging his sister.

"Yes, so I expect 3 years worth of birthday presents." she pulled away smirking.

"Wha-" Osamu panicked, "Then you owe me 3 years worth of birthday presents!" he commented on a conflicted Hatsu.

"Although I hate to interrupt this touching family bonding moment. We should go eat lunch before you have to carry an unconscious Chiyoko! Also, Sumiye says Border agents are about to come, and although I do like being praised for my wonderful building skills. I do not feel like being imprisoned and interrogated for how I made advanced triggers" Chiyoko called putting her camera away in a backpack.

"Yo-you created those triggers?" Jin-san asked at the girl curiously.

"Nooo, we took them from Border." she replied sarcasm dripping from her mouth, "Of course I made it! Like any of Border can make these amazing triggers! I still have to give them an upgrade still..." she trailed peering at her trigger.

We all turned stiff, how could a team this powerful not be tracked by Border? Where they Neighbors besides apparently Hatsu?

"Well lets go!" Sumiye called walking into town, "Tamakoma if you want some answers, I suggest you start walking. We're going to the safest lunch place in town." Sumiye called turning her head.

"Wheres that?" I asked in a small voice, clutching the hem of my shirt.

"Why, it wouldn't be a surprise then wouldn't it." Honoka winked at us.

Everyone looked shocked, even Jin-san who should've seen this coming with his side effect. These girls where strange, one moment they where trion-thirsty monsters, then they where typical nice girls. 'I wonder if maybe they can help me improve. That way I can go on the away teams and see my brother. That way I can have a moment just like Hatsu.' I jogged to the 4 girls ahead, ready to learn about a new adventure.
