Surprised to see a sort of blur speeding beside him towards his opponent, Zeph was forced to stabilize back his stance in order not to get his feet off-balance by the confusing rush. He shook his head slightly, then faces the front, when suddenly, a sharp...unknown...thing...shut down his mind, his control of his body...and that fighting-will spark in his eyes.
Zeph fell backwards, almost in slow motion, as the last vision he's able to see is the dark sky and one last theory for the night on what the hell just happened. 'Reinhardt, you damn fathead, this is CHEATING!' BAM!!! The dirt puddle splashed as Zeph fell on the ground, immobilized and lay there, his red eyes still opened, though empty. ...He never did know Anthony is able to possess this type of mind-assault...and now he's been hit. Sharply.
Upon seeing his brother fell, Hikaru's eyes widened to the fullest extent, never could belief what he's witnessing. Zephel-nii-san never falls...right in the middle of a battle especially...and in the range of a woman nearby too! All these conditions didn't fit the bill at all for his brother to just pass out like that...even WHEN he's in the brink of unconsciousness out of a tiresome day...
The light-child stared still with his eyes wide, thoroughly shocked about the motionless figure laid there is his brother. He let go of his chin as he slowly let go of the wall he's leaning on, and approached Zeph, each of his step is heavy and dragged. 'Nii....san...??'
His knees smacked on the dirt as he blinked incredulously at the silver-haired young man in front of him. Slowly, little Hikaru hovered his hands above Zeph, his palms glowing much more brighter than what his own body is emitting, trying to identify the source of his brother's sudden fall. The result he attained...is when his hands stopped right on top of Zeph's forehead..
Hikaru's shocked expression died down as his palms stopped glowing, as he carefully closes his brother's eyelids and stood up. Half of his face was darkened as the glow of his light lessens more and more. Slowly, the redhead then reached for the goggles around his neck, removed it, and strap it around his face, with the strap under his chin to hold his jaw.
Right after that, a large beam of bright light emitted around him, stronger and brighter from the last, though not to the extent of blinding some pairs of eyes. Hikaru then raised up his head, his kind red eyes actually glaring towards his brother's former target before he fell, his eyes sharply set to Anthony, silently clenching his small fists.
Hikaru's kind and compassionate in general. He didn't mind if somebody messes him around, or laughing at him on his weaknesses. But when somebody assaulted his brother like that...right in front of his eyes... That person HAVE to PAY. And for once...Hikaru actually seems dangerous, harnessing the full-use of his inherited red-eyes to make one heck of a death glare...

Anthony just simply chuckled his way through all the chaotic events, happily. Sadistically. ...Creepily. The spectacled man simple avoided Kida's strong strike by slanting his body to the side a bit, still chuckling, having a clear reading of her mind on where she's supposed to strike next and what the woman's busy plotting in her beautiful little mind. This is addictive... He love gobstoppers.
He laughed some more again as he sent a small amount of brain-waves to his favorite victim and temporarily disrupts Zephel's senses and consciousness, thus is the whole reason why the snob suddenly collapsed oh-so-dramatically like that. "Ah-hahahahah~! This is such a fun night~"
Charming...and sadistic. That fits him so well tonight. Maneuvering his way around Kida, the teacher then took hold of her attacking pose by grabbing her punching arm, twisted her around almost in a dance-like trance and took a hold of her hips in a tango-ish way, slanting his body towards her as he holds her behind her waist, balancing Kida and himself as he gracefully kissed her yet again...
Until he could feel a sudden unexpected blazing aura that almost blinded his mind-reading waves he sent all around the place to read more quickly. Anthony then pulls himself back, spinning Kida near where Zephel just fell and hops backwards slightly. Slight surprise evolved inside Anthony's mind as he blinked at this redheaded child...and how different he seems now.

Damnit...damnit...damnit....DAMNIT IT ALL TO FUCKING HELL!!! How was he doing this?! Reinhardt kept moving just out of reach, barely being missed by her fists and feet. Kida snarled and kept attacking. But when she moved to the right, even slightly, he was already to the left. Twisting, turning, so damn close! It was like he could read her mind.
But telepathy is communication!!!! She knew that for a fact. And telekinesis meant he could move things with his mind. However, if he was so powerful in those two ways, strong enough to be an instructor, what stopped him from just reading her mind? Kida didn't like messing with the stuff, she doubted she had any sort of mental barrier formed to prevent him from hearing what she was thinking. And that just pissed her off even more. Maybe smacking his head against the pavement would fix it. For a moment Kida thought she had imagined just the sound that would make, before she realized Zeph had finally passed out. My luck is horrible tonight! "Son of a bitch!!!"
Kida aimed for his jaw again, throwing her body weight into it, to break it in two. But he moved just as before, slightly out of the way, then he grabbed her arm and Kida was spun. She felt his hands on her hips seconds before his lips were on hers again. Something short circuited in Kida's mind and she saw red. Before she could react, again, she was spinning and landed on her ass next to Zephel's body.
Grinding her teeth, Kida shoved herself back up to her feet and screamed. Adrenaline pumping through her system, mixed with her rage was the perfect catalyst for her power. What she really wanted was to break Reinhardt's face in, but if she couldn't she would torture him for a few minutes with water. His mind reading didn't do him any good if she only thought one thing to get the water in the ally trembling and readying itself to bend to her will. You are mine.
Whether the thought was in reference to the water, or Reinhardt, could be argued. For the moment Kida stood next to Hikaru, trying not to squint at his glow. If the kid has something up his sleeve, she'd give him the chance to use it. Watching something happen to Reinhardt and then beating the crap out of a punching bag to get rid of her own tension sounded like a decent idea to her. So she kept her eyes focused on the events, observing and ready, while she mentally cradled the liquid in her mind.

Hikaru kept on glaring at this man, as though he didn't even notice Kida's existence beside him. The child's glare then suddenly lessens to his usual innocent stare...now realizing that he just lost his control over his own body...by anger. With that fact now obvious to him, the child sighed, wondering if it's worth it beating this man to a pulp just to satisfy his vengeance...
The corner of his eyes caught Kida beside him, standing ready and ever-so-pissed, glaring daggers to that weird man. 'Nii-san said I have a gift in controlling bursting emotions...like anger... But..." He looks back at Anthony, then to his brother lying motionless there, then to Kida. His wide red eyes blinking innocently at the situation he's in. With a sigh, thinking of only how ridiculous it is to be in such an atmosphere. His light aura emitting around him lessens to that normal faint glow he initially emit, now signalling he's back to his calm state. Having full control over himself now, Hikaru shifts his eyes to the teacher's straight at his spectacles.
With his eyes glowing, the redhead sends a quick shaft of light through Anthony's spectacles, blinding him temporarily, though his attack doesn't even seem like an attack at all...it looks a lot like a normal glaring contest. Hikaru's eyes returns back to its red-colored state as he spins his whole body to Kida, adorably smiling up at her before motioning his hand towards Anthony, as if wanting Kida to do what she wants with him.[/color]

Anthony tried his best to hold his head back. Never did he realized there exists A LIMIT in his telepathy...and this one innocent child he never took notice of, is the source of it. His brain started to work overtime... His telepathy is special when combined with his telekinesis, making him able to READ others' thoughts...but he never took account on how DID he able to do that...until NOW.
Maybe his mind-reading ability emit these sort of waves when he's attempting it...and so far, it hasn't been disturbed by anything...until this redheaded child came. Anthony holds the side of his head with his hand, backing away unsteadily while trying to balance himself. Somehow...this child is able to disturb those waves...maybe it's his light, or his aura...the teacher can't guess what. But...it totally counters Anthony's waves and sent it back to the teacher's head, that he's certain. Because it feels like his head just got smacked by the same thing he just did to Zeph...
'Ahh...the bitterness of my own medicine...'
Just as he's stabilizing himself to face his beloved gobstopper and strawberry shortcake... "AGHH!!!" Anthony slapped his palms right on his face, then quickly pulls off his spectacles and throws it off somewhere, his other hand busy covering his eyes. His spine slightly hits the dead-end wall behind him, then the teacher leans on it, moaning and catching his breath at the sudden unexpected attack.
Releasing his face, the man then tries to open his eyes. His eyelids are open alright...but he can't see anything. "Good job, shortcake.. Now I can't see my gobstopper, AND I have a migraine." He stated with a sigh, his arms started to raise up in the air, trying to feel his way to wherever he can before another expected attack befalls onto him.

Blinking with mild shock, Kida watched at the light Hikaru emitted seemed to drive Reinhardt back and into pain. It was like watched a child's nightmare be beaten back by dawn or something. But whatever it was that Hikaru was doing exactly, she liked it.
And when the kid let off and smiled at her so innocently Kida couldn't help the big grin that broke out across her face. Careful to be gentle, she patted his head. "Thanks" Hikaru could make a truly fearsome opponent one day. "Don't mind if I do."
She stepped toward Reinhardt, her hand raised palms up and called the puddle-water to her. Her anger was still palpable enough to control it firmly. Apparently their was just a bit of good luck in this off kilter night. Of course, that's when Reinhardt said he couldn't see her...but his eyes were open. Damn, Hikaru had blinded the jerk. Yeah, Hikaru! came a cheer from the back of her mind.
But Kida sighed. Even though she surmised this gave her the opportunity to kick his ass physically, she didn't know if she could bring herself to beat the crap out of a blinded man. Damn it all. Stupid sense of morality... But she did owe him at least compensation for those two stupid kisses. A slap for each sounded good to her. Not willing to look a gift horse in the mouth, Kida manipulated the water, rather than her own hand.
Even though it was liquid, if a person struck it (or it them in this case) it would hurt. So with a wave of her hand Kida had the water slap Reinhardt with force across each of his cheeks. "There. We're even, you ass." Kida harrumphed and released the water to fall on the ground.
She sighed, and looked at Zephel, then back at Hikaru. "It looks like you and I are back to square one....only in a lot more pain."

Hikaru just kept on smiling as he watched Kida rushed towards the teacher, but he turned away a second after that, not wanting to see what exactly is she going to do to him. Though, the slight rumble of the puddle water around him peaked his curiosity. That made him turned 180 degrees back, and although the goggle strap is still under his chin, Hikaru can't help himself but to gape with his eyes extremely wide.
'Kida-san can control water?!!' He watched in awe as Kida manipulated the water, gracefully...strongly. It almost looks like she was dancing with the liquid floating and assaulting in her power. 'That...is SO wickedly COOL!!' His mouth is still slightly gaping when Kida turned her attention towards him, stating that they're back to square one.
Hikaru blinked at her, turned to his brother, then turns back to Kida with a smile, shaking his head as a no. The redhead then walked to his brother, stands beside the silver-haired, and unexpectedly KICKED him at the side of his chest...
"Oopff..." Zeph was woken up with a start, automatically pressing the side of his chest...then, like always, surged with anger...which unknown to him(though Hikari had figured it out) fueled up his energy. "What THE HELL was THAT FOR?!!" Zeph thundered, seeing the first person in his view being his brother, and assumed him being the suspect of his pain.
Staggering up while still clutching his body, the silver-haired had his eyes fixed to the redhead, mentally threatening the poor boy. It took him a while to calm his mind back, before muttering a flat, "What happened?" and scanned his surrounding.

"ACK!!!" Generally, he holds an interest in body-slapping...but getting slapped all of a sudden, at his back of all places, while he's currently unable to SEE, surprises him. Greatly. To the point of yelping... This isn't a normal smack with a hand, he knows it.
Though, being temporarily blind like this plus that water attack, Anthony immediately fell off-balance on all fours, before blindly massaging his rear. That won't be good to sit on for the next 6 hours... So he just stayed like that, afraid if he accidentally
"G-gobstopper...!" The teacher cried, his eyes now squinted close and his hair kind of covered most of his face now. There was a pause from him, before the man finally said, "...Never mind...... ...Let me just crawl out of here in vain and pity..." With that said, Anthony literally crawled slowly, feeling his way with his hands as he tries to make his way out of the alleyway...
"Hahahah~ If I have any dignity, this would be embarrassing." He chuckled, after all that humiliation. ...Happily, even.

Kida sweat dropped. How could Zephel possibly be functioning still?! It defied logic somehow. "We kicked some ass, that's what happened." she said, fists sitting on her hips. "Don't fall over." Kida added and steadied him a little.
She glanced back over at Reinhardt, who was crawling out of the alley. Kida would have offered him some assistance if she wasn't sure he would cop a feel while she did so. And apparently he needed to get some dignity. Was he born without it or did he loose it? Waving that thought away, and Reinhardt too, she looked back at Hikaru and Zephel. "Shall we? At this rate we'll get home at sun rise and have to ditch our classes."
Kida would have to even if they didn't get home at that time. Her head was still killing her, but now she had knots forming in her neck and shoulders, a side effect of her ability. Usually it manifested as a headache, but since her head hurt already it was just spreading downward. Yay. "We need to get your jaw looked at too, Hikaru."

Zeph was stunned silent at the answer...for a quite a while actually. It almost seems like he fainted...while standing. "Come again?" He finally snapped out of his trance, now with his eyes widen at the fullest extent his tired sockets could bare. The silver-haired then slowly turns to Hikaru, then back to Kida, half-surprised...half extremely exhausted.
He holds his head with a hand as he tries his best to look around the area, and sure enough, there's no Anthony in sight. Though, he has to make a second scan to make sure. "Okay...this is a miracle. Good. Great... One less bad luck out of our way... ...Where's the dorm area?" He asks right away, in hope Hikaru's unusual streak of bad luck won't got rubbed to both him and Kida. Dragging his feet to the wall, Zeph immediately leaned on it, now half considering to sleep right on the spot...
Normally, Hikaru would've cringed at his brother's wrath after he purposedly KICKED the slver-haired like that...but with Kida near, he's almost certain that Zeph wouldn't harm him. And his prediction is right.
Sighing in relief, Hikaru then looked up at the sky, in cue of Kida's sun rise statement. 'Has it really have been all night?' His jaw pained him a generous amount of jolt when he raised his chin up, so the redhead quickly settled his head down carefully, still with his goggles strapped around his head.
Seeing his brother, Hikaru heave out a slight sigh of sympathy...for Zephel had to bear this type of troubles almost every day since Hikaru entered his life. Then, the child walked towards his brother, pulled the older one's right arm around his shoulders, looked at Kida in the eyes to signal her to follow...then, like a tiny warrior just having finished one long and tiresome battle, lead his weared-out brother slowly out of the alley...just as the sun's early radiance is beginning to light up the dark clouds..

She blinked and watched Zephel surrender to his exhaustion for the third or fourth time that night. What they really needed was a hospital, because Kida was sure that wasn't healthy at all. Catching up to Hikaru Kida took Zephel's other arm, hanging at his side and wrapped it around her own shoulders. In order to help Hikaru this way, she sort of had to bend down as she walked. Sending the red-headed boy a smirk Kida walked with him.
Thankfully the rest of the way to the dorms was really uneventful. To be honest they deserved it after what they had been through that night. Her prayers had been answered as they entered the downstairs lobby of the boys dorms. "Now to the elevator and to your room." Kida glanced at Hikaru.
"What floor are you guys on, anyway? And your room?" She paused in front of the elevator, straining and reaching for the up button. Then Kida took the small opportunity to stretch what she could of her back before hooking Zeph's arm over her shoulder again. At the beginning of the night she had owed Zeph half her luck, now she thought (gladly) she'd been able to pay him back. Though leaving him in such a state seemed a little cruel. Especially when his sweet little brother had a broken jaw-- which was partially her fault.
"Hey Hikaru, when we get up to your dorm, uh.... well I would say something like 'I want to take a look at your jaw' but I honestly know zip about medicine..."

The second Hikaru and Kida had lead Zeph into the entrance of the lobby in the boys dormitories, the redhead can't help but to heave out a loud and long sigh of relief. He almost can't believe their trip after the encounter with Anthony is without anything blowing up. The feel of relief is clearly visible on his face without any words said.
Hikaru took his time adjusting his brother's arm across his shoulder while Kida pushed the up button of the escalator. He can't help to beam a guilty smile(which is always accompanied with a sweatdrop) when Kida mentioned about his jaw again. The redhead shook his head sideways, to tell her not to worry about it. He's been caught in a more painful event before compared to a broken jaw...like what he brother said.
He found it difficult to show her what he wants to say though, so Hikaru relies on his facial expression. 'Please PLEASE stop worrying about me, Kida-san...' He looked up at her, hoping she could see what he's trying to tell.

Blinking as she looked into his big, round eyes, she felt the weirdest urge to....cry? Laugh? It was a feeling that reminded her what it was like to be a child, and then an adolesent. Though the visual message was pretty vague, she got the gist of what he was trying to say. Kida shook her head as the elevator doors opened and she shifted Zeph a little. "Sorry, Kid....Sometimes being a real bleeding heart can kick me in the ass." she chuckled. "I'm gonna at least make sure no jerks mug you in the building." Boys would be boys.
As she turned to move into the elevator, Kida contemplated what she would actually be able to do. Her non-existent healing skills were accompanied by a poor knowledge of cooking, a knack for being tidy, but not shine-with-sparkles-clean and a superior opinion on matching colors and outfits. None of those were about to help these brothers. Just dump them in their dorm and go to bed! said a voice in her head.
Her more selfish part was trying to get the better of her generosity. And she could feel it winning with a good sense of reason. Kida had been about to press a button to take them up when she realized he hadn't told her what floor. "Oh, uh...guess you should do that." With a small wince she shifted Zephel again so she was mostly supporting him, allowing Hikaru to move away can press the elevator's button.

Hikaru inwardly grunted at himself. If he was strong enough to protect his brother in the first place, all of this would never happen... And if he could be strong NOW, Kida wouldn't have to worry about helping him carry his brother up to his room..or even worry about him. Honestly, this annoys the child...and saddens him.
When the elevator doors opened, Hikaru postpone his thoughts for a while. Moving into the elevator with Kida, they both carried Zeph inside and waited for the door to close. He saw Kida wanting to press one of the buttons, paused, and steps back to support the silver-haired more, allowing Hikaru freedom to push the 2 button there.
He never told Kida Zeph and him are living in separate dorm rooms. Mostly because Hikaru's existence only further stresses the older one, plus being bothers, bickering is a normal nature for them. It's only until Hikaru had reached the age of 16 that Zeph kicks him out, stating the redhead to be old enough to take care of himself. And they live on different floors too. But Hikaru's fine with his brother's decision, as long as Zeph gets a time for himself to feel peace. Plus, he has Roy as a roommate.
Retreating back to swing his brother's free arm over his shoulders, Hikaru pulled some of the weight into himself to burden. He glanced at Kida as he did, now wondering if Zeph has any painkillers in his room.

Second floor, huh? That wouldn't take long. But as the elevator creaked and slowly started to ascend Kida took the moment, fleeting though it might be, to just close her eyes. She knew better than to lean back or relax her muscles too much. They were still supporting Zeph after all. Rolling her neck she gave a long sigh. Maybe Das--excuse her Danny--would have some left over dinner for her. Hopefully something that wasn't completely green and leafy. Weird vegetarian roomie... If not, she would have to attempt some cooking.
A ding startled her into opening her eyes and Kida watched the doors open to the second floor. As carefully as they had gotten Zephel into the small box of an elevator they got him out and into the hall. It was quiet, being so late at night, but every now and then she could here a faint creak or shuffle of someone moving in their dorm.
"Which way?" Kida asked, shifting her shoulder under Zeph a little bit. Of course she knew Hikaru couldn't tell her verbally, but that didn't matter. If he could blind a madman he would be able to tell her without words. Kida smirked. She'd always wondered what it was like to have a younger sibling (this had been prior to ever meeting Ann Marie) and she had always pictured a cute little boy or girl that relied on her. But Hikaru seemed like a kid you could rely on. It was sort of nice, seeing someone that age that could be so responsible.
Still Kida felt that he shouldn't have to be the strong one. Glancing at Zephel, Kida wondered about him too. She could only wonder what had happened to them that they would have to adjust in such a way. And for the first time Kida felt guilty to have had a normal, happy life thus far.
