Chapter Text
In the streets of a city…
“Hana, Hayate is awake and she is thrashing in her car seat.” A guy stated as he pulled into a parking lot. “Could you please see what it is?”
“Sure Sora.” Hana replied as she exited the car and got into the backseat. “Hayate, calm down… well she is calmer now. I’ll sit back here till we get home.”
“That’ll work.” Sora replied as he waited for Hana to buckle up.
After a few moments on the road…
“Sora Watch Out!” Hana shouted as the car took a massive hit in the front passenger side and spun in a one-eighty and was slammed again in the driver’s side.
A few moments later…
“Both of the passengers in the backseat are fine.” A paramedic stated as he talked to a police officer. “It is a miracle that they didn’t get injured.”
“Not as much as you might think.” The officer quietly stated as he waved the medic away. “Now, Ms. Yagami, why were you in the backseat?”
“My daughter was being fussy on our way home and I moved to the back after my husband parked.” Hana replied as she rocked the young girl in her arms. “Will I need to be taken to the hospital?”
“Only if you think the Paramedic didn’t catch anything. Not the first time a child’s accidental magic protected them from an auto accident.” The officer stated getting Hana to laugh.
“So Hayate is magical, I thought as much.” Hana stated with a smile.
“I thought your family name was familiar.” The officer stated as Hana’s smile fell. “Shame that the people that hit you ran off… but their cars are totaled.”
“Stupid street racers.” Hana muttered as she stood up and walked over to what is left of the car. “Good it survived.”
“Going to call someone?” The officer asked. “Still I’m baffled how you don’t make noise.”
“My sister and it’s a family trait.” Hana replied as she pushed some buttons on a block like object. “Yuuko, can you come and pick me and Hayate up?” Hana asked and then gave the street address. “You don’t mind if we stay the night. Sora isn’t coming, as we were involved in a car accident. No, I’m fine as is Hayate.”
At the Yagami apartment…
“Thanks, I’ll sleep on the couch. You can put Hayate with Hikari.” Hana stated as she sighed then looked at the floor. “Hayate might have saved my life.”
“What do you mean?” Yuuko asked as she walked into the room.
“I was in the front with Sora, the passenger side was the first to get hit.” Hana replied.
“Oh… and neither of you got hurt?” Yuuko asked.
“Magic… don’t look at me like that. Our Belkan linage ability still lingers, I saw the barrier she created though it wasn’t large enough to cover the front of the car it protected the two of us.” Hana stated.
“It isn’t like I don’t believe you. But Hayate never showed any signs of magic before… Hikari shows signs of it more than Taichi has.” Yuuko stated with a sigh. “But we can’t call it Belkan magic remember.”
“I know… Even though our ancestors called it that, now a days it is just as good as the rest.” Hana muttered as she sighed. “Though that one branch that is studied weirds me out.”
“Which one?” Yuuko asked as she never heard her sister say that.
“The hunters, those that are sent after pact breakers.” Hana stated as she looked out the window. “They are just creepy.”
“They are not creepy, they just get some odd skills.” Yuuko retorted.
“Says the one that befriended a few.” Hana countered.
“You would know if you made a friend out of one.” Yuuko replied as they both started to laugh.
In the morning, a boy’s voice rang out. “Mom! Hikari turned into two people!”
