Alone and Lonesome ー Part 2

The cold breeze was blowing smoothly across the forest, as the birds chirped, the weather was hot. The strong rays of sun spread across the dark forest making it more lively and eye-catching.

"The Jian is also known as the bird that shares wings",

A bird came and sat on a tree branch, looking around.

"The book I read about it a long time ago....", The bird than flew away. A boy was laying on the green grass, his blue hairs were scattered on the ground and his eyes were closed.

"said it can't even fly unless a male and female support each other", he completed.

A butterfly flew from above his face, as he slowly opened his eyes.

"They're pitiful creatures",

As his eyes completely opened, he rose from the ground and looked at the sky, which was covered, closed, sealed by a strong unbreakable, glass, in a diamond shape in a circle. The boy than took out a controller from his pocket and looked at the orange screen as he pressed a button.

"Until it finds a partner, it must hide among tree leaves, wait with bated breath."

He than looked at the message from Code 015 saying,' The briefing's over. Contact me. We need to talk'

"And dream of the day it can take flight into the skies above."

The boy looked sad as he narrowed his eyes a little at the little screen in front of him, and the message he saw. He than lookded up as he felt something. And after it he climbed up a hill, to the end-wall of the sealing of the plantation. There was blood.

He went and touched the glass dyed with blood before rubbing his fingers together.

"It's blood", he muttered under his breath. And the next moment he looked at his left side and saw a bird laying on the ground. She was shuddering and wincing in pain, blood all over her body and on the grass.

He stepped towards the bird and tried to hold it but the bird flew away with her false wings.

"H-Hey..

The bird was not able to fly properly and yet she tried to fly as she fell and than flew again, as if scared the human would harm her.

"If so, where does a bird that ends up never flying go?", He asked himself as he stared at the hopelessly desperate bird but then suddenly there was a light, the place was covered by a huge shadow. And an orange light reflected from the tip of the plane and the boy looked up surprised, covering his eyes with his hand, due to the light.

Suddenly, spotting someone from above looking back at him, his hand slid down again to fall to his side.

"I know the answer to that all too well", He thought.

His eyes went too far just at the window of the plane, and the girl's eyes fell on him as she stared at him and her hat fell down due to the fast blow of wind, making her hair sway gently with the rhythm of the wind all over and around her beautiful face, showing her red horns.

"The answer is....

"Oh, Found one", She thought.

----------

The place inside the plantation was huge and beautiful.

"Partner Killer?"

"Apparently, the girl has horns and fangs."

The children raised in the plantation, were injected with yellow blood cell's to make them parasites to pilot large mecha's against the Kalaxours known as 'FRANXXs'.

The girl was moving her foot on the floor drawing several shapes.

"And any parasite that rides with her will have his blood sucked", a girl told.

"And die after the third time, without fail", The boy said as he swung his leg on the floor and his arm on the sofa's backrest.

"Yikes. I don't wanna ride with her", The boy added.

Like all the plantations, Cerasus was divided into two sections: the top of the plantation consists of the bygone environment, the parasites resided in and below it was the luxurious city, the adults lived in. The exterior of the plantation consisted of a variety of defensive weapons and it was capable of itself for relocation.

Everything within the facility for the parasites was arranged to assist with their numbers so that they could maintain their connections. The rooma and everything else was arranged in order and with structure.

"Surely that's just a rumor", one girl clad in her uniform with red hair tied in two high pony tails above her ears, said. She's known as Miku.

"It's true!", The previous boy, Zorome concluded.

"Someone actually overheard security talking about it", He added. Another girl sitting opposite to him with purple hair with two locks surrounding her face, wearing glasses and reading a book. She looked in another direction towards another girl.

They all were wearing the same uniform. She was using her controller and typing some thing not paying attention to any of their talk and her other hand rested inside her pocket. Her hair were a color of blue, short above her neck and on one side she wore a white pin pinning her locks. She had a razor-cut.

"Ichigo", Some one from behind called her and she looked back.

"Did you get a hold of Hiro?", He asked as he came forward. He was wearing the same uniform as the others. He was also wearing glasses and his hair were yellow.

The girl closed her tab and put it back in her pocket and replied with her her low and soft voice," Nope. Not a trace", she said.

"Hey... Zorome looked back at the both and continued," So, is he gonna stay here after all?", He asked the two and everyone else also paid attention to the topic.

"But he didn't attend today's briefing", He said as he looked up the ceiling.

"Maybe that means he's gonna turn down the chance?", Another boy, called Futoshi, sitting besides Zorome said as he looked at the bun in his hand. He was a fatty.

"Hiro's going to leave? That's so sad", Another girl, with grey long curly hair, with a blue band on her head, said as she clasped her both hands together having a sad expression.

The children lived in Mistilteinn, Also known as the 'birdcage'. The rooms were separated for girls and boys. A living room, one meeting room, and dining room. The garden was also huge.

"But if he doesn't, where would that leave Naomi? She got caught up in his mess", Ikuno said as she kept reading her book.

Hiro and Naomi were both partners, Both were parasite candidates. but during the Mock battle, they lost and had only the option to leave, Now they both were to leave. Hiro was told that he was special among them and was known as the Prodigy.

"I say Hiro's showing real integrity", The boy who was standing besides the Floor-to-ceiling window said. He was having brown hair which were styled upward as he moved away from it and walked past the sofa where others were sitting and moved his hand a little upward. It was a round sofa.

"It must be hard for him to face us after what happened, too", He said. He disliked Hiro for some reason, no one knew.

"Spare a thought for how he feels", He said and waved his arm in the air in front of him in a circle.

"God, How forced", Miku said as her head hung low the next moment.

Goro looked at Ichigo who was silently listening to their conversation, leaning on the wall and asked," Are you okay with this, Ichigo?".

That Idiot!", She said as she lowered her head.
