She's That Knight Known As Zero

After a long while just as the down pour stopped, Eureka finally calmed down. And this is the first thing she said after calming down.

"Why would you be apologizing?" Feena replied.

"That"s right, we are friends after all," Karen said while smiling warmly at her.

"We should really go and change clothes, you got wet waiting for me as well," Eureka instead reply.

The others could only sigh internally. She really haven"t said that they are her friends.

"Eureka," Azusa couldn"t help but call out.

Eureka faced her.

"Why do you consider yourself unworthy of having friends?"

Feena and Karen told her that Eureka just didn"t want attachments, but to her what she can see is that Eureka herself didn"t want to acknowledge that people wants to be her friend. That she deserve to have friends. There are times where she"d show her concern and all but just a few moments later she"d suddenly get detached once again.

Eureka didn"t reply for a long while she just turned her back on them, "We need to get change, I had you standing in the rain for a long while, I don"t want to be held responsible if you get sick."

"That"s the problem with you!" Karen realizing Azusa"s intention couldn"t help but call out.

"We show you our concern cause we are truly worried about you, but you kept pus.h.i.+ng us away. Why?!?"

"Cause I don"t need it, I don"t need any of your concerns," Eureka replied without emotion.

"Didn"t we have that talk just last night? We thought at least even just for a bit you have accepted us already."

"Those casual talks are nothing but past times, if you want more than that then I will have to apologize for being unable to give it. And I do apologize as well that you had to witness such scene awhile ago. If there"s nothing else, and you still have no plans of changing then I shall go first and change."

They watched her retreating back, the girls then looked at Raven.

"I won"t take any sides, you three have your point but she has too. All of us have our own point of view on everything, that is something you can"t change easily," Raven replied looking at them.

All they could do is to quietly accept his point, no matter how unwilling they are. There"s nothing they could do.

"Try to let her be alone for now, she needs to settle what is it that"s bothering her."

He was looking at the ground as he said this, before telling everyone to go and get change already as well.

"*sigh* What?" Eureka asked behind her.

"You want to be detached but I"m just wondering, why did you do what you did awhile ago?" Mamoru asked, he followed her as Raven speaks with the other three.

"I was losing control, what I needed awhile ago was something to calm me down. Feeling a calm heart beat helped me out a lot, that"s why I was apologizing as well, for inconveniencing him."

"It already came from you, you didn"t want any attachments but in the end you still needed it."

"Isn"t that the reason why I didn"t completely locked myself away from the people. Isn"t that why I am here answering to your questions?"

"I won"t take more of your time, you should rest," Mamoru could only reply and return to where the others were.

she thought as she too went on her way.

"How is it?" Akihiro asked. After watching Eureka and the others, both he and Yukimura went and waited for Kaoru in the great hall.

"I don"t know what to believe any longer, what to do, I am completely at a loss," Kaoru replied as he stare at the parchment on his table.

"Then why don"t you just believe what that girl had been doing? If you can"t believe the information that"s been given to you, then believe her actions. Help her, help the kingdom, please help me protect everything," Akihiro said looking straight in his eyes.

"Am I still worthy? Of that duty?" Kaoru asked looking back at him.

"If you start now then you can repay everything you"ve done," Akihiro placed his hand in Kaoru"s shoulder.

"I am going to detain you in your room in this castle for the next months, you are not allowed to leave the castle," Akihiro then said.

"I understand, but how about that girl?" Kaoru asked, being detained in his old room was already too light, being detained for months doesn"t matter to him but he couldn"t help but think about Eureka.

"That girl will be fine, You know you don"t need to worry about her."

"I see, then is it alright for me to return to that room now? My mind"s still in chaos right now."

"Go on, rest well."

After Kaoru left.

"This was solved too easily, wasn"t it?" Yukimura then asked.

"It"s because everything he did was not yet that grave, no one died because of him. The only damage was that time Azusa and Eureka were kidnapped. If ever they were in grave danger after what had happened, then I would have no other choice but to execute him."

"Everything"s so chaotic, it feels like the time we have now doesn"t have any peace."

"There"s no real peace, is what she said. She came from a destroyed future. She knows the pain of war. I wonder if that"s the reason why she had been doing her very best to save this one"s future."

"Have you noticed?" Yukimura suddenly asked.

"What?"

"Almost everyday our topic had been her, it"s like in just one snap she took a whole part of everyone"s life."

"Maybe because she shows us true love?"

"True love?"

"True love for her people and for her home."

"Someone who was considered an outsider actually showed more love to this place more than us who had lived here our entire life."

"Anyway, going to Arctic kingdom, I"m planning on bringing you, Raven, Eureka and Azusa," Akihiro diverted their conversation.

"Azusa?" Yukimura couldn"t help but to wonder, why would they be bringing Azusa.

"We have no idea on how many more spies are in here. Leaving her here is more dangerous than bringing her with us."

"I understand, we shall do that then."

*****

Days pa.s.sed, the knights had been showing signs of improvement. The training this time helped them a lot. At the same time, the other six have stopped approaching Eureka.

"Did you guys have a fight?" Yukimura, noticing this, asked Raven during one of their breakfast.

"Who?"

"Eureka, did the whole lot of you had a fight with her/"

"Why would you be asking that?"

"We"ve noticed how you guys didn"t approach each other for the past days after what had happened in the lake."

"Oh, you"re suddenly curious about our relations.h.i.+p with her, that"s new. You were so against it in the past."

"This brat, I"m just wondering."

"I just told them to let her breath. It seems that after this so called war have started, she"s been more at edge. It might just worsen their relations.h.i.+p, whatever they have now, if they kept pestering her."

"But she seemed different as well," Yukimuira commented remembering Eureka"s look during the training.

"Why is that?"

"It feels like she reverted back to when she just arrived here. Completely emotionless, like a walking robot."

Raven fell into deep thought.

*****

"What did you say?" Akihiro asked on one of his visit to Kaoru.

"That girl came here not long after I was detaiined and asked me to seal something for her, I was baffled at first and just conjured a spell of sealing when she suddenly placed it in her chest. That"s when I realized that what she"s trying to seal is actually her emotions. But me realizing it was already too late," Yukimura lamented remembering the night she came.

"So you"re saying the her right now have no emotions?"

"Yes."

"Just what is that girl doing right now?" Akihiro couldn"t help but be confused. She started showing signs of accepting the people in this era, but then suddenly, selfishly, decided to get her emotions sealed.

" I shall go for now," Akihiro turned and left immediately.

Everyone was shocked seeing the king walking around the training grounds looking for someone.

"Your Highness, what brought you here?" Kunihiko asked, the general of squad 10.

"Is the knight Eureka here?"

"Your highness, I must apologize but you have promoted her to squad 7," Kunihiko replied respectfully.

"Where is squad 7?"

"They are currently the ones inside the forest, your highness."

"How long will they be there?"

"In 3 more days your highness."

"Get Takako to tell Eureka to see me once they arrive."

"Yes your highness," Kunihiko replied respectfully and could only watch the king"s retreating back with confusion.
