"You're gonna love Seiyo Academy, Alistair," Kazuko said as she stepped onto a low wall and began to walk along it, her hands behind her back.

Alistair merely shrugged his shoulders and shifted his bag over his shoulder. The path they were taking was one Alistair was not quite fond of. It was the path he had run along when trying to escape the men that had tried to capture him nearly six months before. He had thought he would die that day, but fate brought Kazuko to his rescue, for which Alistair was grateful for, yet still concerned that the past 6 months were the calm before the storm.

He looked at the red-head and asked, "Why are you walking with me and not Sam and Mana?"

Kazuko giggled. "Does there have to be a reason?" She looked up into the sky. "Is it so strange for two friends to walk to school together?"

Alistair's face went red for a moment, but wiped it away and looked down, mentally kicking himself. Stupid. Stupid. STUPID. All of a sudden, he sensed a strange presence. He halted and tried to further inspect the aura.

Kazuko noticed her friend had stopped and halted as well to look at him. "What's up?"

Alistair didn't answer, for he was trying to focus on the aura. It's outer shell seems weak, but it's inner layer and heart are quite strong, he thought to himself. What could it possibly be? His thoughts were interrupted when the sound of trash cans being knocked over was heard further down the path. He opened his eyes he had not noticed he closed just in time to see a medium-sized dog stumble around the corner.

"Oh my GOD!" Kazuko screamed.

The dog appeared to be a sort of Husky, though it only seemed that it was not completely grown, indicating that it was perhaps still a puppy. Bits and pieces of its white fur were missing and where fur remained were bleeding scars. It's torn ear dripped with crimson blood. It looked at Alistair with pleading eyes.

"Please… Help me."

Alistair's heart skipped a beat when he heard the voice. Utter shock filled his eyes as he slowly realized who the voice belonged to. Cautiously, he slowly set his bag down and crept closer to the dog, holding out his hand.

"Be careful, Alistair," Kazuko said in a scared voice.

The brunette simply nodded his head in acknowledgment as he cautiously dug into his jacket pocket and pulled out a clear plastic bag with a half-eaten turkey sandwich inside. He pulled out the sandwich and held it out for the dog. "Milo, come here boy," he said in a hushed voice.

The dog's ears perked up and he slowly walked up to Alistair. He sniffed the sandwich, then took the edge and began to eat.

Alistair smiled and softly petted the top of the dog's head. "You've grown, boy. I hardly recognized ya."

The dog finished its meal, then looked at Alistair and placed its paws on his chest, licking the boy's face and its tail wagging. "It's really you, Michael! I looked everywhere for you!" The dog replied telepathically.

"Alistair… did that dog just talk!?" Kazuko said in a frightened voice.

Said boy pushed the dog called Milo off and turned to look at Kazuko. There was a nervous look on her face and she was taking a few steps back. Alistair got to his feet and held out his hands to try and stop her.

"It's alright, Kazuko. Milo here is just like me; We escaped from America together with the FBI."

Kazuko halted. Fear was still visible in her eyes, but she was slowly beginning to calm down. "You mean… he has powers like you?"

Alistair nodded. "He helped me get away from the men that were after me six months ago."

Kazuko was hesitant, but eventually slowly began to walk towards the two. Milo remained perfectly still, not wanting to frighten the girl any more than she already was. When she was standing in front of them, Kazuko reluctantly reached out a hand and placed it on top of Milo's head.

Milo's tail began to wag in pleasure at the attention as Kazuko became more confident and began to run her hand down his neck and pet him. I like her, Michael. She has a kind spirit, Milo silently said to Alistair.

The brunette smiled. Yeah, so do I.
Finally managed to finish this. Had to revise a lot after the re-release of The Past~ Alistair's Story

Yes, after several months apart, Alistair and Milo have been reunited at last. I love a happy reunion^^
