3rd Persons POV
"Akako?!"
"Are you okay?"
"Akako, is it true?"
Akako walks out of the shed, and sees many people crowded around the door. The blonde stands there, her eyes looking distant as though she's lost in thought.
'Luna... what kind of person is she..?'
"Is what Luna and those two boys said true?" Jinno asks as Hotaru walks up to Akako, her eyes wide and showing slight signs of worrying; totally contrasting her emotionless and dull expression. Suddenly Akako is shocked by the teacher's Lightening Alice, "Do I look transparent to you?!" He growls. Akako shrieks from the sudden shock, bringing her out of her thoughts. She looks over at Jinno in fear and grabs onto Mikan, "I was listening! Promise!" She shouts, scared of the teacher.
"I heard that this disturbance was caused by you and Sakura Mikan. We already know that this was done by the magnetic Alice, but these two boys said that they were encouraged by you two." Jinno says, holding the two boys from earlier by the collars. Akako steals a glance at her older sister who is standing next to Hotaru, but looks at Jinno once more as he continues to speak. "I have been told that you're not very fond of the new student. They also told us that while the disturbance was happening, you took the new student into the equipment area to bully her. That's what the student has said." Jinno says.
The girl goes still, her eyes widening as she looks over at Luna. The girl turns away and acts as though she has no idea. Mikan is already freaking out, claiming that she had nothing to do with any of this, and neither did Akako. The blonde's eyes travel to Hotaru as she speaks, "Akako, just tell everyone what happened inside of the storage room." The ravenette encourages the girl, knowing that she would tell the truth. Hotaru would easily be able to detect if the girl was lying, knowing all of her tale tell signs.
"Everyone knows that you did nothing in the equipment room." Mikan tries to calm her sister down, noticing how her eyes are darting every which way. Mikan walks towards Akako, gently grabbing her shoulders. Fear is coursing through Akako's body as she recalls the words that Luna said to her.
'I want~ you and your sister to be silent. And don't talk too much. Because I am a very kind person, remember these two things. I wonder how well you can protect you and those around you.'
Mikan looks at Hotaru in worry, noticing how quiet her sister is being. "Akako-chan?" Mikan tries to meet her sister's eyes, but the girl keeps looking at the floor. "What is it, Akako?" Her blue eyes travel towards all of the kids that are injured, scrapes and bruises covering them. A flame of anger forming in her chest, as her hands heat up.
Akako's heart breaks at the sight of others injured, all because of Luna's actions. Everyone stares at her, confused at her silence, but their eyes widen at Jinno's words, "Let Sakura Akako and Sakura Mikan go with the Fuukitai. They will decide what punishment is worthy of their actions."
Suddenly, Fuukitai come towards the twins and grab them each by their wrist. Akako's eyes widen at the sight of Mikan in their captivity, "No!" She shouts, causing everyone to look at her. Her desperate and pleading gaze meets Jinno's, taking him by surprise, "Those boys lied!" She shouts, making Luna tense. "You all must have heard wrong. Maybe they only said one Sakura, not both." Akako says, making Luna's eyes narrow at her.
Jinno takes a moment to analyze the situation, "Release Sakura Mikan." He says, nodding towards the Fuukidai that had a grip on the older sister. They release her, before going towards Akako who bows her head. She keeps quiet.
She's led away by the guards while many of her classmates protest, "Jinno! She didn't even confess to the crime! And we haven't heard her explanation." Misaki-Sensei shouts at the strict teacher who has turned away. "Her silence is answer enough. If she doesn't answer, doesn't that say that she's guilty of all crime?" Jinno says before walking away.
The Fuukitai roughly pull Akako away from the scene, making Mikan shout for her sister, "Akako-chan!" She frowns at the situation.
'Why isn't Akako denying those accusations? Surely they're not true! Akako would never do anything like that...' Mikan stares after her twin. She lowers her gaze towards the ground, making her decision before running in the direction that Akako was taken.
"M-Mikan-chan!" Sumire shouts in surprise when Mikan sprints away. Hotaru turns her head, already knowing that she should go as well and begins to run with Mikan. The two boys look at each other before they take off into a jog as well.
"Hotaru-san!"
"Look! Natsume-kun and Ruka-kun are going as well!"
"Where are you all going?!"
Sakura Mikan
Hyuuga Natsume
Nogi Ruka
Imai Hotaru
Akako is pulled down the hall, practically being dragged by the Fuukitai who has longer strides than her. Suddenly, a voice speaks out from behind her. "Sorry for disturbing." She turns around to see another member of the Fuukitai, "Yes, what is it?" The Fuukitai that's holding onto her turns, his voice hard like stone and throaty.
"There's been a disturbance in your work. The main student board is looking for you." The new Fuukitai speaks, his voice silvery as though he can charm anyone.
"Just me?" The guard asks, making sure that he is surely needed, Once it's confirmed he nods. "Just take this child over there. That is all. Thank you for helping me out." Akako is handed over towards the messenger as the other fuukidai leaves.
Akako keeps her head lowered as she begins walking with the new guard, 'I wonder where they're taking me. All of the things that are going to start happening, I don't know it I'll be able to protect everyone. The fact that Luna is targeting everyone that is dear to Mikan-nee and I... that's a lot of people.'
"Didn't Sakurano-San say that you and your sister musn't get caught by the Fuukitai?" At the words spoken from above her, Akako's eyes snap upwards and towards the Fuukitai that's smiling down at her.
Akako freezes when the male takes off his mask, her whole body going white as she stares at him in confusion. "Eh? What's with that odd face?" The Fuukitai asks, when he sees Akako's freaked out face.
"W-Who are you?" She stares at his face, making him laugh. "That's right. You probably don't recognize me because you've never actually seen me use my Alice before." He laughs. He brings his hands up to cover his face as it begins to morph and change. The sight nearly has Akako screeching in confusion and fear.
When he takes his hands away, Akako smiles in relief at the familiar face. "Senpai!" Akako exclaims, sighing at the sight of the representative of the physical abilities class.

Tsubasa's eyes look towards the side when he sees a lot of movement in his peripheral vision. He's stunned at the sight of four kids dashing around the corner. "Hey, those kids..." Tsubasa looks at them in confusion before calling out, "Hey! Long time no see. Mikan-chan, Imai-san; Ruka-kun and Natsume-kun as well! Where are you all in a hurry to?"
All of the kids stop running, and look towards the older male in surprise as they pant from running. "Ah! Tsubasa-Senpai!" Mikan exclaims while the others call him their own names. "Ah, Kage." Ruka says, "Bage." Hotaru acknowledges the male, "Mage." Tsubasa sweat drops at the names that they all called him.
"Umm... when did it start that I had to be called names that ended in '-ge'?" He sighs, before listening to the children explain the situation to him. "Eh? Why would Akako-chan be taken by the Fuukitai?" He frowns, "But why are you guys running? Ah, you must be running after th- hey!" He shouts when the kids start to run once again. He glares at them as they run away from him, "Since you're chasing after them, surely you have a plan, right?!" Tsubasa shouts at them, "If you simply run after them, you'll be mistaken as her accomplices! You'll then be taken in by the Fuukitai."
They all stop running, making Tsubasa facepalm. "Plan.. Do we have one?" Ruka looks towards Natsume with a blank face, but Natsume shrugs with a deadpan face and turns towards Mikan and Hotaru, "What about you?"
Mikan stands there, face blank as she realizes her mistake. Hotaru, on the other hand, merely glances at everyone else. "I just decided to run a marathon and was using Mikan as guide. These two unknowingly followed. I figured that no one would get in my way if Mikan used her ugly face to scare them off."
Tsubasa and the two boys stand there in shock while Mikan latches herself onto Tsubasa while bawling about how mean Hotaru was.

"The Somatic type representative?!!!?" Akako shouts as the male smiles at her, he raises a finger to cover his lips, "Lower you voice a bit." He instructs.
The girl stares at him in shock, "Why???" She tries thinking of what reasons the new Student Council president had cor saving her. "The details of how this happened musn't be known at all. I only came to rescue you per instruction from a certain person." Goshima says.
"A certain person?" Akako stares at him in question, trying to figure out who would have the power to ask this of the Senpai. Hijiri chuckles at the sight of the gears in Akako's head turning as she tries to figure out who sent him, "It wasn't Sakurano." He says, surprising the girl.
Goshima stares at the girl with a smile, because despite her soft and clueless attitude and appearance, she was a smart girl. She calculated almost everything and when she didn't, she just did what she felt was right. He slightly admired the girl, it was rare to meet someone like her and her friends.
"Just remember that the details about how this happened must not be known at all. Nevertheless, inside this academy, there is someone who secretly protects and worries for you and your sister." The older boy smiles. "Both Sakurano and I are good people. It's solely because of that certain person that we move towards a common goal. Because of an incident, Sakurano-San is no longer the same as before. Currently, his body cannot move freely at all. This is the reason I was the one who came to rescue you today." Hijiri informs her.
Akako's eyes widen as she processes his words, 'There's someone in the school... who's watching over Nee-chan and me?'
"In any case, you must return first to your class without needing a punishment. And then, I must think of a way to handle everything else."Goshima says while reaching towards his face once more. He pulls his hair while moving his hands around, and when his hands are away his face his completely different. "I must inform Saskurano-Senpai of this outcome.
Akako stares at him in shock as he begins to walk away, "Keep a close watch on the Fuukitai. And don't let you or your sister get caught by them anymore."
Elsewhere, someone has entered the HSP's office and bows towards him, "Principal. Goshima has successfully reported that he has safely rescued Sakura Akako."

"Hotaru..." Ruka mumbles as he and Hotaru crouch in the bushes, Mikan no longer with them. She had sulked away after the words that Hotaru had said about her. "What?" Hotaru answers, slightly irritated that Ruka was speaking when they were supposed to be quiet.
"We shouldn't be doing this. We look like we're spying on them.." Ruka sighs.
Hotaru ignores Ruka's words as she remembers what happened moments ago. When Tsubasa had told them that they should go to the classroom and that everything would be fine, Natsume stayed behind. Hotaru didn't let Natsume's odd behavior go unnoticed. So while Mikan was walking away, tears still running down her face, Hotaru pulled Ruka into the bushes to spy on Tsubasa and Natsume.
Ruka and Hotaru sit quietly in the bushes as Natsume begins to speak, "The matter of you being transferred to the dangerous abilities class... They still don't know about it." Ruka and Hotaru stop breathing as they stare in disbelief.
"Forget about it... because of all of the stuff going on with the new transfer student, they... they're preoccupied at that situation." Tsubasa says. "Akako is never around when I go to that class, so she won't know. And I've already talked to the special students, we've agreed on the story. Although I've been transferred to the DA class, I'll still seem like a part of the SA class outwardly." Tsubasa tells Natsume. "If Mikan finds out about this, she will surely feel that our separation was her fault. And Akako. If she hears about me being in there, even if I'm older than her, she will do her best to get me out and protect me. That little brat." Tsubasa sighs at the thought of the twins. The both of them were such a handful. "From what you've heard there, this matter about Mikan and Akako... don't just obey them blindly." The older boy orders the younger one. "Besides, nowadays, It is said that some missions we are doing are known by her. We really haven't caught sight of that person." Tsubasa says as he stares at the ground.
Natsume keeps his eyes on his Senpai, "The enemy group of yours, haven't been caught?" Natsume questions.
"Azumi Yuka."
"The information circulating this time is till false. From what's know after that incident, contrary to what we've been hoping for, no matter what happens that person always escapes out grasps." Tsubasa says.
"That person is the twins mother." Hotaru and Ruka stare at the two from the bushes, their eyes wide as they try to comprehend the words that are being spoken. "This said, the reason for her coming to the academy is obvious. If word about Akako's capture quickly gets out..."
'..Mikan and Akako's.. mother...' Hotaru stares at the leaves blankly as she thinks about this. 'The stealing Alice...' Hotaru begins to put the pieces together, 'How can that person be their mother? She still hasn't been caught...How can she have the face to see them?'
At this moment, life is beginning to shift. Fate is pulling their threads every which way and intertwining their lives with something bigger than them. Each of these kids... Evil will come towards them, and they must try to outrun it. If they're caught in it, they'll have to fight till the end.
But on thing is for sure.
"Mikan-nee!" Akako smiles as she runs, jumping into her sister's arms.
These two girls would never be separated.
For their love and connection was stronger than the toughest metal on earth.
