Hunters

„W-what do you mean by that?"

The little girl grabbed Shoutas jacket, looking like she had just seen a ghost.

„...Please..."

She tried to say something to him, so Shouta lowered his head to hear better.

„...Help...me..."

With these words, she went unconscious.

„Hey, what happened? Is she okay?"

„I don't think so mum."

Shoutas mother looked even more worried than before.

„We've got to take her to the hospital then!"

„No!"

„W-what?"

Shouta picked the girl up and stood up.

„I'm going to take care of that, but I can't explain this to you yet! Just trust me!"

His mother still looked worried, but gave up after thinking a few moments.

„Ok, but promise me that you will be okay!"

„I will."

Shouta began to run while carrying the little girl. After struggling a bit, he managed to get his phone out.

„Yuma? We've got to meet! Everyone! Now!"

.....

At the school ambulance:

After a few minutes, Shouta arrived at his school and headed straight to the ambulance.

„I'm here!"

Everyone of his classmates was already there and waiting for him.

„At last! Why are we here? And who's that?"

Shouta laid the girl on one of the beds before taking a seat.

„I met her by accident. She was completely scared and disturbed."

„Maybe she lost her parents somewhere?"

„That's what I thought too but..."

He looked at the still unconscious child.

„....she made clear that her parents might not while on this world anymore."

The whole mood in the ambulance room changed. Yumas face went extremely serious, Yusei jumped off his chair, Aimi looked on the floor and Sota nearly fell off his chair.

„W-what do you want to say?"

„I don't know, but what I know is that we need information from her. But she won't wake up."

„I could help if I can."

The unknown voice behind of them made everybody activate their stands.

„W-wait, I am not your enemy!"

Sota realized first from where the voice came. He turned at a special bed to see his theory being true.

„So you're finally awake, idiot!"

His opponent from earlier that day stood up his bed and walked towards the six of them.

„My name is Yuki Ayato. And I want to help you."

After recovering from the shock, Yusei came nearer to the boy named Yuki.

„Why would we want to trust you? I mean, it's not like you nearly killed half of the students earlier today!"

Yuki looked at the floor, a remorseful expression on his face.

„I never wanted to do that."

„He says the truth!"

Yusei turned at his classmate.

„From where do you want to know that, Sota?"

„I know it."

„Pff!"

Yusei was definitely not amused about the situation, but he stepped aside letting out a sight.

„Don't let me regret this!"

Yuki was now free to do what he wanted to do, so he headed towards the aquarium.

„I had a lot of time to think about what happened today and I could find out a few things. My so called Stand has the name «Strong and Weak» and his ability is to take power from any living creature and to give this power to any other living creature."

He activated his stand and let him take the power of the fish, which could be seen as green energy flowing out of them and towards Yukis Stand.

„Wow! Such a useful Stand!"

Yuki looked very pleased as he was able to help the ones who stopped his rampage through the school.

„I hope so."

He went to the little girl, still laying on the bed unconscious.

„Power Transfer!"

The green energy of the fish went out of the Stand into the girl. She was visibly getting more comfortable.

„She'll wake up any minute."

Yuki was finished and made his way towards Sota.

„I'm sorry for causing so much trouble! I didn't want that!"

„I know that."

„I don't know if you heard what I said after you'd beaten me, but I'll say it again. Thank you for stopping me!"

„Guys, I think we've got to do the thanks later. There's someone more interesting entering the stage here."

The little girl opened her eyes to see into the faces of 6 unknown people.

„Where...am I?"

„You are at the school ambulance. You're safe here, we just want some answers from you. Do you think you can do that?"

The girls facial expression changed from confused to somehow angry.

„Of course I can! Just because I'm a girl, I'm not completely dumb!"

With these words, she got the six teenagers even more confused than before.

„That's of course not what I meant. I was just worried because of your age."

„My a...? Oh no!"

She stood up and before anyone could react, she was standing in front of the mirror.

„I forgot about that! Sorry, but I wished that all of that was just a dream!"

„W-what do you mean? Who are you?"

The girl seemed to think about her answer before she decided to say the truth.

„My name is Asuka Katana and I'm 16 years old."

.....

At the police station of Nisshoku:

„Y-you want to tell me that this woman all of the sudden aged over 40 years?"

„They overdid the test several times, so a confusion is impossible. But except for this, we've got absolutely nothing. No open bills, no bigger enemies, no criminal records....! Damm, this woman had what some of us might call a perfect life!"

„But no one ages so much out of nothing!"

„Yes, there are two things that make me suspicious."

Rampo Kawasaki hold up two fingers.

„First of all the fact that there are absolutely no fingerprints in the whole house. Neither from Hina Katana, nor her daughter or any other person. And second...."

„.....Her daughter, am I right?"

„You are. Asuka Katana is still missing! It's like she'd never been here!"

The police commissioner stood up of his chair.

„You know what that means, Kanabe!"

His partner knew very well what it meant when his partner called him by his last name.

„I do."

He grabbed his jacket and left the police station together with Rampo Kawasaki.

„Let's go, Makoto. We're going on a hunt!"

.....

At the school ambulance:

„You know what you're saying, don't you?"

To Asukas surprise, all of them stayed calm.

„I know that it's hard to believe what I say, but I'm 16 years old and the daughter of a woman who died today."

„Why would we not believe you? Your way of talking isn't normal for a 10 years old girl."

„How did this happen? Can you remember that?"

Asuka focused and fought about what happened when she came home.

„I was coming from school and saw a man going into our house. He was tall and had short black hair. When I went into the house I saw...I saw...my mother aging in an unbelievable way. While the seconds passed, she aged years over years. Then he recognized me. He told me not to be afraid of him, before letting my mother go. She was dead."

The girl was shaking in fear while thinking about the scenario.

„After that, he grabbed my head and I could feel my body getting smaller. When I was at the size I am now, I was finally able to move and bit his hand so that he'd let me go. I ran out of the house and just ran and ran before I was too weak. That was when I met the boy you call Shouta."

For a few seconds, no one was able to say something. Finally, Shouta began to speak.

„Damm, You're lucky you have met me. A normal person would never believe your story."

„You're right, but what she told us are important informations. Obviously, there is another Stand-User in town and this time, he's doing bad things out of his own will."

„Stand? Is this that this ghost thing he used?"

Everyone turned at her.

„And another one! God, today really is our lucky day!"

„This isn't normal! Three new Stand-Users in our first year and at the first day of the second year, there are five new ones and one of them is a killer!"

„You're right, that has to mean something!"

„Guys, can you please be more sensitive? This girl just lost her mother!"

Embarrassed silence filled the room, but Asuka broke it very quickly.

„It's okay. I don't understand much of the things you're talking about, but you guys are good people and you have that Stand thing too. But the man who killed my mom wasn't a good person. The only thing I want right now is to find that bastard!"

Class 2B stood up.

„We know that guys appearance and his ability. He won't be able to hide from us for too long. Remember, you've got six Stand-User behind you!"

The girl smiled.

„Thank you."

„Class 2B..."

The class representative smirked.

„We're going on a hunt!"
