"No one." Hikaru blurted it out without thinking. It was true; the Student Council President had no idea how true. "N-No one, Mori-sama, please... This is just a misunderstanding. You're just stressed out about how your suspension affected your authority. Why don't you just sit down with me and we'll talk?" She put her hand on his arm, trying to sit him at the desk.

Then her phone began to ring. Hikaru froze. She didn't answer it.

Takuya looked at her, the sudden look or horror on her face. He clenched the little panda so hard he could feel it crack. His eyes darted to the phone, then to her face. The two were in agreement.

"Answer it, Hikaru." He smiled, but it did nothing to hide his anger. "Go ahead, I'll wait."

Her hand was shaking when it retrieved her mobile from her bookbag. The little panda swung back and forth, its big-eyed smile painfully out of place with the situation. She felt like answering the phone was similar to an execution.

"M-Moshimoshi..."

It was Kurado. He greeted her gruffly and was about to ask how she was when--

"No, Mom, I'm okay. Yeah, I know. Thanks for worrying about me. I've got to go, okay? Bye."

She closed the phone and smiled in what she hoped was confidence. "Just my mom."

Takuya and his companion narrowed their eyes. She muttered behind him, garbling out nonsense and discontent. That was not Seiya's mother. He held out his empty hand, "Let me see."

When she hesitated he snatched the phone from her and flipped it open. "You're mother, hmn!?" Takuya wheeled around and hurled the poor little panada at the wall. He shattered. "So then! Is this him! Shall I call him now and ask him just what you two have been doing for the past few days!?"

He felt his anger growing. Indeed it had been a man that had been distracting Seiya. They very last thing he wanted for her. How dare she put another man before him. How dare she ignore him, for some up start. And that name! he certainly go to this school. It may as well have been Yamada she had been sneaking around with.

"Sneaking off of campus! Ditching class! Neglecting your duties! And for some- some fool! Some worthless man, Seiya! Are you truly no better than those idiot girls! The rest of these fools in this school! Huh!? Are you really as sad as all that to throw away your status to gallivant about with some man!" The more he yelled, the louder he got. The louder he got, the louder she shrieked. The louder she shrieked, the more the noise filled the room.

It got to the point where all Takuya could hear was the deafening sound of a scream. If filled his ears, if made his hands shake. Rage was pouring over him. He swung his hand, and though he did not connect with the desk or its contents, little pandas went flying. She extended his reach knocking over and garbing all sort of things. He tossed the phone at the bed and grabbed Seiya's shoulders. "I thought better of you! And you're no better than the rest of these- flashy tramps and whores that drape the school halls and my grandfather's parties! So who is he! What does he have for you, hmn!?"

He shook her, the other's clawed and clammy hands held on, "What did he offer you? Money!? Love!? Its all lies! Are you so stupid! Are you so careless!! Tell the the truth! Tell me GOD DAMNIT!!"

Hikaru cried out; her hands clamped down over her ears. She could hear the shrieking, and her cell phone bust against the wall. She heard the sound of anything fragile in her room being destroyed by the magnitude of his rage. She couldn't bring herself to resist when he grabbed her, she just kept her arms up defensively and tried her damnedest not to cry.

"Mori-sama! T-Takuya, STOP IT!"

And then something shattered, and Styx was free; damp, clawed hands grabbed her where Mori's had been, they pulled at her clothes and her hair and she screamed because she'd never seen something look that fierce and hateful. Hikaru called Menaka's name and there was a flash and the force of something Great, and then Styx and Mori were thrown back and she herself was on the floor, in the corner, gasping for breath,

Oh no.

Even after the flash,the screaming continued. Weaker from Styx, but greater from Takuya. His hands. Their hands! He looked at his hands.

"It burns!" His fingers twitched. His whole body trembled actually. What had happened to them. What had she done! His mind was reeling. He tried to stand, but found his body resisted. Whatever had hit him, had hurt. And It did not agree with Styx at all. He heard her holler one last time before retreating as she usually did in Seiya's presence. And this was why...she could hurt them.

She could hurt him. Badly. He looked over at her and chuckled.

"The-the truth...the truth...burns...my body...Styx..." He toppled over unable to get back up. "Styx, Seiya, You can see her." He closed his eyes.

Oh NO.

"Mori-sama!" Hikaru practically crawled across the floor to him. It was okay. Menaka could heal him, and then he'd be fine. That was all he needed, right? "Oh my God, are you okay?!"

He chuckled and turned to her, "Yours...burns mine..." He couldn't stop laughing, even though it hurt. "That's why...she hates you..." He shook his head and opened his eyes again.

"For days...I have been, following her. This...constant pull. She wails, and attacks me, and follows me...all this time. You've had one..." He closed his eyes again. "I'm tired. I can't feel her now."

Menaka cast her spell on him--she hoped it wouldn't hurt him further.

"Okay. Um. All right." Hikaru had no idea what to do. He wasn't supposed to awaken--not yet, not like this. She helped him up onto her bed and kneeled down beside him, "Do you... need anything? Mori-sama?" Her hand squeezed his.

Takuya took a few deep breaths. He felt...better. Someone how, Seiya had made him feel better. It must be what her...hmn, "What is it? What is it called?" He looked at her. There was a little bit of puzzlement in his eyes. He had never not known something before. True, there were penalty of things the was not an expert in, but to not know anything at all. Even what to call this whole experience was new.

It was like being a child, inquisitive and new to the world. He had no word for it, no concept, no reference point! It irked him...but Seiya, seemed to know. After all she just healed him with it. She knew what ti was, and she knew about Styx this whole time, and this had to be the source of her odd behavior. "I feel better...still tired. But I have to know, what is this? What are they, called?"

She frowned, wishing this not to be a repeat of Kojiro's group. "Didn't... it tell you? When you summoned it?"

"She is Styx. And she is me. ... ...But that doesn't explain this situation," he looked at her. "It does not explain how she broke off from me. Or the dreams. Or the pull." He closes his eyes again for a moment.

"She wants me to go somewhere...downward," he let out a sigh. "There is no such reference point in my head for this occurrence. But you just used yours, you know how to work it. Hikaru, this is what you have been up to, yes?"

She nodded solemnly. Hikaru didn't have to worry about lying to him anymore--at least not about this.

"L-Listen, about that pull... It doesn't lead anywhere. It's practically a dead end, just a dead end that goes on forever. It's dangerous."

He shook his head, "Even if it is a dead end, I have to go...the longer I don't the more she torments me. Surely yours had done the same?" He sat up slowly, "You remember my hand that day? It happens, every morning. She pours out into my room...and now that she is free I understand. If I ignore this pull she will kill me. I cannot ignore myself."

He watched the features of Seiya's face fret over his words. He wanted to go right now, but was tired. And knew nothing. he was not so careless as to rush into something so unfamiliar.

"I am sorry," He put his hand over her hand. He needed her to tell him more, he needed her trust back. "Your room, your things. We destroyed them. I will replace them...this weekend. I will take you out, you can explain further." He nodded to himself. He could wait that long, and it would allow him time to think and get to know Styx. "How is that?"

"...Really?" Hikaru's features flooded with relief. She squeezed his hand all the tighter and nodded. "I promise, I'll explain everything then!"

Well... Maybe not everything.

But enough.

Kumiko looks over her's, "Can something so simple looking really help us control anything?" from the outside looking it, it seemed doubtful. Even though she questioned it, she was sure that it would help. She went back to the mentality of 'the smaller it is, the more important' as far as gadgets went.

Takuya nodded to her. He watched her face relax and knew it had worked. "I think I will head back to my room now." He stood up, his body still ached a little, and he had the urge to sleep. How bothersome.

"I will get you a new phone as well." He said looking at the broken one on the floor. "That I can at least have to you by tomorrow. I will have it delivered by one of Grandfather's workers." He turned to her and took her hand and gave her fingers a kiss. "Who knew jealousy could turning to something so complicated?"

He smirked at her and left before she could react to his last comment. As soon as he was out the door he felt Styx breath a sigh of relief, followed by an utterance of contempt. No she did not like Hikaru at all, and she didn't trust her. Well, they were one in the same. So he supposed those were his feelings as well. But as long as he kept her close, he knew he would get what he needed.

Hikaru blushed furiously when he left, holding her hand as though some sort of gift had been bestowed upon it. She collapsed heavily into her bed and wondered what on earth she was going to do now...

Eber returned to his room as well. Last night had been vicious.

After he followed Kojiro out and they were a ways from the room...

"Seiya is a part of that organization. How can we trust her if we all agree this...entity she's working for is shady at best!"

He blurted it out as though no time had passed between his response and Yamada's statement of confidence in Seiya. He kept tossing the 'AMP' into the air as he walked.

"I don't trust him either. Yamada, I mean. The more we find out the more confusing things get, but he's still eating up every word Seiya feeds him. Kumiko and Eber aren't much better either..."

He shook his head, swung his hand around to catch the AMP mid-toss, and stared at the device for a moment, stopping in his tracks.

"And then there's this little thing. For all we know it'll turn our heads into fried eggs..."
