Normal P.O.V
While in homeroom, Ikki, Ringo and Akito were all reunited with their old friends from eastside junior high. Many of Ikki's friends were surprised to see Akito back in school were even more surprised to find out what happened between now and then.
"Wait, so you and that other guy broke up?" asked Kazu.
"Yeah we did." Said akito.
"But what happened?" questioned Yayoi. "You guys seemed so good together."
Akito thought about how to put that past in the cleanest terms possible.
"Umm…what should I say? I don't want them to worry too much about me. They are my friends and all but I don't want to be babied. Well, we had some differences that couldn't be worked out so… it had to end, you know?"
"I guess," replied Yayoi.
"Now, now there's no need to play twenty questions with the guy! Let's all just give him a break now, okay?" Ikki interrupted. Then he pulled Akito's desk closer to his until the desks got stuck together. And after that their new teacher came through the door. This teacher was about five feet and six inches tall, was bald and had big coke bottle glasses and was wearing a huge bowtie and what appeared to be the same uniform as the rest of the students. He looked exactly like something out of one of the "revenge of the nerds" movies. He then stood in front of the black board to greet the class.
"Good morning every-AAHH Thud." Just before he could finish his sentence he went down for the count on his first day of the job. Most everyone in the room laughed at the geeky-looking teacher, who quickly rose from his fall. When he stood up he picked up an eraser. He noticed that the eraser was carefully and precisely placed by the desk. That is when he began to question the student's about this cliché but well organized prank.
"Alright, who put this eraser here?" he asked. For a minute, no one said anything, and then finally one kid stood up and started chuckling.
"Guilty as charged." He said laughing the entire time. The teacher didn't say anything at first, but when the entire class joined in laughing at what that crazy kid did, he began to take some action.
"Young man I want you to stay here after class." He said.
"AWW, MAN!" he shouted. Then he plopped down on his chair. The class progressed with the teacher giving a long and boring speech on what high school and its challenges and what scores to get on the tests. When the lecture was finished, the bell for first period rang and they were off to see their new teachers, potential friends or enemies and live the high school experience they all dreamt about for so long.
As the day went further along, the guys and girls explored their teachers and their new student body. High school was unlike anything they ever imagined, the teachers were stricter, the students were more mature and of course there would be more people who knew about the phenomenon of Air Treks. The first four periods although seemed fairly predictable, were not. Then lunchtime finally came and the gang was starving. Unlike eastside middle school where there was little division between cliques, high school was a completely different story. There were dozens and dozens of cliques; there were even cliques within cliques. There were the cool freshmen and the nerdy freshmen, there were band geeks and cool bands, there were girls who ate everything and girls who didn't eat at all; there were Goths, and there were Emo's , there were bullies and burnouts, then were the underdogs, the couples and even a Gay/Lesbian section of the cafeteria. The entire school was almost like a mini global village and the people in it had to choose their slots. Where one would sit would determine their fate.
As for Ikki and the gang, they all sat together since they did not know anyone in the school other than each other. There was a lot that needed to be discussed about what happened since the last time they saw Akito.
"Something tells me you guys aren't telling the whole story." Said onigiri.
"How did you and that creepy guy break up?"
"Do you guys have to keep interrogating him? God you can be so insensitive!" interrupted Ikki. He was getting really frustrated with everyone questioning his lover about last year; especially after all of the suffering that he and Akito went through there was no need for them to know right? There was no harm in keeping it a secret right? But someone had to know; someone who Ikki could trust with any secret. So with no real thought processed, he pulls his best friend Kazu to the side to tell him everything that went on.
All the while, the blond is in complete shock with what he just heard from his friend. He had a feeling there was something off about Akito's ex but didn't think it was that serious.
"Wow, I had no Idea he was that much of a jerk, and to poor akito. Man I feel bad for him, you think he's gonna be Okay?" Kazu asked.
"I think so," said Ikki. "I really don't want him to go back to cutting himself."
Kazu understood why the crow would tell only him about the situation but found it odd that he wouldn't let Akito speak for himself. This was a completely different side of Ikki that he wasn't used to yet. Sure it was the same friend he knew and loved in some ways but somehow ikki was different. I guess having Akito back in his life gave him a new outlook. The jet thought. But why not let him talk to me himself.
Then the two friends headed back to their table only to see that the friendly shark was gone.
"Where's Akito?" asked Kazu.
"He said he was going to the bathroom." Buccha answered.
Meanwhile in the bathroom, Akito was well, doing his business when thoughts of his other half entered his mind.
Flashback
"Agito…how long will you will you stay with me?" akito asked.
"As long as you're alive, I'll be here."
End flashback.
That's what you said to me then. The shark thought. And yet you're not here now. He flushed left the urinal and went to wash his hands, still thinking of Agito. Agito…if only there were some way I could know where you are; I wish that I could find you somehow.
Just then he heard someone walking through, he looked around and so no one there. Then
The footsteps got louder and someone was getting closer; this began to scare the friendly shark and he ran out the bathroom only to bump into Kazu.
"Akito, what happened?" the blond asked.
"Oh… uhh… I thought I heard someone coming, I guess it was just you, sorry." He answered. Then he went back to the lunchroom, still frightened and wondering about his other half. Kazu began to get puzzled. I wonder what's going on. He thought.
SOMEWHERE UNKNOWN
Somewhere above the clouds yet not so far from the earth's atmosphere, a plane existed between the boarders of earth and space. This plane was the home for many lost spirits and caught in-between that plane was an unconscious figure as the planes widened they revealed the figure as a young man who looked exactly like Agito, no that was Agito. He had been trapped between these boarders for the past six months with no way out. The only question was how did he get there?
