The Second Hand of Time

Light and Death
"What was that? That light?" said Kouhei as he attempted to get up, his pants and shirt were riddled with dirt. He looked up to a public clock to see that it was 6:35 a.m. as he yawned. He was out all night from what he could recall. He remembered being attacked by an unusual beast, and a mysterious light that shone infront of him. That was it. He tried to recall whatever else he could but failed to. Annoyed with his lack of memory, he staggered his sleepy body home.

"Is that him?" said a voice from afar. "Suzaku? It couldn't be... Could it?" said another voice. Both were female, about 5'6 each. Both were wearing black robes, and carried sheathed swords on their waist. And suddenly, just as they appeared, they were gone, instantly.

Half way through town, Kouhei has remember that today was Monday and since it was 6:40 by now, school was to start in an hour. He rushed home almost blindly as he crashed into a girl on his way. Both fell down. "Oh, I'm so sorry! I was in a rush." Kouhei replied as he tried to help the girl up. The girl was about 5'4, and seemed to be around Kouhei's age. "Ah... oh, hello Rikka!" he replied to the blushing girl as he helped her up. She was named Rikka Kurokarei, a student at Karakura High and one of Kouhei's few friends. "Oh, um, hello Kouhei." replied Rikka getting to her feet. "Um, clas is starting soon. You should... be... ah... getting ready." she said in her usual soft voice. She awkwardly smiled and started to walk towards her house, "Kouhei! Go get ready, ok?" she called out as he ran home. Kouhei smiled but always questioned why she acted so nervious around Kouhei all the time. He shrugged it off and started to sprint for home.
