===Part 13===
 
"-!"
 
At that moment, Haruka Nanase was aware she could not escape death.
 
She closed her eyes before the oncoming attack would hit her.
 
She felt a burning sensation rather than a cold one all over her body simultaneously.
 
Exposed to Kyouya's ice magic her body must of sensed the pain from the ultra-low temperature as a burning sensation. Confronted with the fear of certain death, and the severe pain that will accompany it, her body reflexively stiffened. But -- she didn't feel any other pain after that.
 
Instead she couldn't catch her breath.
 
"!!!!"
 
The pain was different from what she had imagined. She struggle momentarily, widely moving her hands around.
 
-- A hand forcefully grabbed her.
 
Then it wrapped around her her waist, and powerfully pulled her close.
 
"Huh......?"
 
Haruka was perplexed, and instinctively opened her eyes.
 
A familiar face appeared before her eyes.
 
"OUSAWA...... AKATSUKI......?"
 
This person shouldn't be here, Haruka couldn't help but shout out his name.
 
"Its all right, vice-president."
 
Akatsuki told her.
 
After hearing Akatsuki's voice, and feeling the warmth of his embrace Haruka was sure of one thing.
 
That it was definitely not a dream.
 
But...... what on earth was going on? Haruka then suddenly noticed where Akatsuki and herself were. Akatsuki had his arm around her waist, while in his birthday suit.
 
However, the improper one was Haruka. The reason was simple, they were immersed in hot water and she was familiar with the location.
 
She was in the Ouswa home's bathroom.
 
Akatsuki appeared naked in front of eyes, Haruka screamed and desperately tried to escape.
 
Everything happened too fast.
 
"......"

Haruka's brain could not keep up, she stood there and repeatably blinked. She completely had no idea how to react.
 
-- Up till now, she was in JPN Babel's student council room meeting face to face with Kyouya. Why am I in the Ouswa bathroom, no where near were I was?
 
Then......
 
"You're shaking... ... What happened?"
 
The moment she heard Akatsuki's question.
 
"-!"
 
Haruka gasped.
 
She remembered her best friends -- Ryohei and Minami were dead.
 
And Kyouya's ice-cold eyes.
 
Also how Miu was laying unconscious, and that she was almost killed.
 
"...... Me and...... we......"
 
"Despair" that word echoed in Haruka's mind.
 
No more words could come out her mouth.
 
Extreme fear froze her mind and body, chilling her to the bone.
 
Even though she was in the bathtub filled with hot water, the trembling of the whole body wouldn't stop.
 
However......
 
 
 
"-- Haruka."
 
 
 
The shout was like a bolt of lightning shot into her ear, while his two hands gripped her shoulders. Akatsuki forcibly pulled back her consciousness.
 
"You don't have be scared anymore. I'm right here, there's nothing to be afraid of anymore."
 
"Ah......"
 
Those words permeated Haruka's heart. The icy tension gradually began to melt away.
 
Her body slowly regained its warmth.
 
"Good...... that's it."
 
Akatsuki gave her a gentle smile.
 
Seeing his smile, Haruka's intuition told her -–
 
It was Akatsuki who saved her at that critical moment.
 
...... But, how?
 
Before her brain found the answer, Haruka's heart told her; however she never could of expected him to save her, there must of been some way. Haruka started to look at it retro respectively.
 
Reflecting on how Akatsuki devised a method to help her from a remote place.
 
The results......
 
"Oh --"
 
Nanase Haruka finally remembered.
 
In the world of Alayzard, that she went too along with the Akatsuki and the others.
 
Miu and Listy became hostages, and the method by which Akatsuki saved them. They said was,
 
"Transfer...... seal."
