Chapter 2: A new girl in school
After getting back to safety, Joey and Dennis reached the school gates. A lot of students quickly approached Joey since the destruction and murder of Joey's house and family had reached the media in all sorts of ways. Joey and Dennis decided to not tell anyone about what happened earlier.
"Okay people.. I'll be right back I got to go to the teachers' lounge". Joey said. The students allowed him through as he made his way over to the teacher's lounge. The door was open so Joey stepped inside, knocking on the door to make sure teachers would see him
"Uhm... excuse me.." He walked in with the blue envelope. Several teachers stood up, knowing what happened because the saw the news too.
"As you might have seen on the news.. well you know what happened. But that is not the reason why I came here" He showed the envelope to the teachers and waited for one of them to hopefully say something more about it. finally he got the envelope back.
"We're sorry Joey, these symbols are also to us a true mystery, but you should hang on to it for sure" One of the teachers said. Joey thanked the teachers and walked back to his classroom. As he walked back in the class, he saw in the front of the class a girl standing. He had never seen her before, was she new here?
"Ah Joey, nice of you to join us, this is Nagisa, she is new in our class, she'll be sitting next to you from now on" the Teacher said. Nagisa was pretty he thought, she had long brown hair which fell to her shoulder and her body looked pretty good. She was wearing some jeans and a thin blue sweater with a pink schoolbag filled with books. Also.. a Blue Letter was pointing out of her bag!
"Nice to meet you Joey, I'm Nagisa, I saw what happened on the news yesterday night... But this morning a man came up to me asking if I could give you this.." She handed Joey a Blue Letter similar to his. He opened it but it were again, symbols he could not read. Although these were slightly different. Who could have sent these letters to him? And even more important, why did they send these letters to him?
"Who gave you this Nagisa? How did he look?" Joey asked hasty.
"Well.. he had a long white robe on with a hood. So I can't describe him" she said.
"damn it" Joey groaned and Nagisa looked a bit sad
"I'm sorry Joey" she looked down and was shaking a bit.
"It's okay Nagisa, it isn't your fault". A big smile appeared on her face and they both sat down at their desks to follow the lessons. When school ended Joey, Nagisa and Dennis all walked to Dennis' house.
"So Joey tell me.. have you figured something out about those letters yet?" Dennis asked.
"Well.. not really.. only.. that if I get one it always happens when people try to kill me". They were all silent for the rest of the way to Dennis' house. Luckily nothing happened to the way home. As they entered the living room of Dennis they saw a man in white robed trying to put something on the table.
"Joey that's him! that's the guy who gave me that letter!" Nagisa yelled. The strange robed man looked at them and suddenly a great white flash appeared and the man was gone.
"What in the world was that?!" Joey said. The three looked around and then found another Blue Letter on the table.
"look..another one.." Joey said. He picked up the letter and opened it. He started reading. But as he was busy reading it seemed like the symbols were changing a bit.
"What's happening?!" he said as he he looked around and then he saw a little light on a stone from the ring of Nagisa. "Nagisa, give me your hand!" Joey said hasty as he grabbed her hand. She blushes a little. The closer Nagisa's hand came to the letter the more the symbols were turning to normal English words. Joey started reading all of the letters, by using Nagisa's hand for some reason.
"Okay... First letter guys..." Joey said.
"Joey, you are in great danger! I know this is late to give you and you may not be able to read this now but you should stay out of trouble, I can't say more now. Signed, a Friend."
"Strange.." Dennis said.
"Read the other two too!" Nagisa said. Joey started reading the second one.
" This letter will be given to you by a young girl, she is a essential link to your life, protect her! Use her to decipher the symbols on the new letter that you might receive in the near future. Signed: a Friend."
"Use me? But why me?" Nagisa asked.
"I don't know but listen to the third letter" Joey said.
"I trust you have read the other letters by now, we can safely exchange letters for a short while before they strike again. You will go through a lot in the future, you and Nagisa are very important you should immediately come to..."
"Hey! don't stop now! We were getting to the good part" Dennis said. "that's the problem Dennis. He stopped writing here.. I believe he was still writing it before we came in.." Joey said. All of them fell quiet for a little while.
"Well you'll get another letter soon don't you think? I mean, he needs to finish his letter!" they all brightened up as she said that.
"You're right Nagisa, your brilliant. He'll come back for sure to deliver a new letter to us." Joey said. Dennis looked a bit disappointed.
"Well the letter only mentions you two.. there isn't anything about me in those letters, I believe this is up to you guys" He said with a sigh.
"He's right Joey, I think you should stay with me before someone hurts Dennis or his family" Nagisa said.
"That's what I mean Joey, I'd go through fire for you, but this is getting extremely dangerous and I don't want to endanger my family too" Dennis said.
"It's okay Dennis, I hope I can handle this before more things get out of hand too quick.. I should leave right now.. is that okay with you Nagisa?" he asked her.
"As long as you don't do anything to m while I'm sleeping its fine" she said jokingly and they both let for Nagisa's house.
The same evening they are both at the dining table in Nagisa's house, her parents were really nice to him. He and Nagisa had agreed to not tell anyone about the letter or the robed man. The night came quickly and because Nagisa house didn't have a spare room Joey could stay in Nagisa's room together with her.
"If you don't mind, I sleep in my underwear but don't keep staring okay?" Nagisa asked with a pouting look. They both laughed and talked for a few hours before finally having a nice sleep in a few days.
The nect morning was a peacefull morning. The sun shone through the curtains as Joey woke up. He let out a yawn as he sat up whilst rubbing his eyes. He looked over to the bed where Nagisa should be laying. He blinked as he didn't find her there.
"She must be up already..." He said to himself before standing up. He made his way over to the bathroom. He opened the unlocked door, seeing steam come out of the room. His eyes widened as he looked inside to see Nagisa in the bathroom, being completely naked, drying herself. Joey blushed majorly and quickly slams the door shut.
"For the love of God don't you people lock the doors if you take a shower?!" Joey yelled as he turned his back to the door.
"I hope you took a good look cause you wont see it again in a million years!" she yelled back. Joey quickly hurried down with a dark red face, Nagisa soon followed with an equal color on her head. The two of them found Nagisa's parent already at breakfast.
"Even assassins take the weekend of it seems" Joey said jokingly. But only Nagisa showed a little smile and her parents left the table.
