The new staff looks so epic

“I am glad. I tend to not put things in my hair so I was unsure of how it would appear.”

It might’ve been weird but with such long hair, it was hard to resist the opportunity, “Cute! Your hair is amazing, and the ribbon does fit you well!”

“I’m fine, I’m fine! It would take a lot to hurt ol’ me, trust me.”

“That’s a relief! Sorry for the disturbance though.”

Bending he took a quick drink of water, his throat parched from practice and the opening ceremonies. Plus, cheering his team on was quite tiring. He turned to see the girl there, and smiled, surreptitiously wiping away excess water. “Once again, thank you very much….?” His voice trailed off as he didn’t know who she was. “I’m Kawakami Norifumi, 2nd year at Seidou High School.”

She knew he must be a player but wondered what school was her from? Blinking in surprise, the emerald eyed smiled again, “Ah, nice meeting you Norifumi-san, I’m Kinomoto Sakura, 2nd Grade in Tomoeda Junior High.” she introduced, along with a small bow as a greeting. "So are you going to play in the competition?"

“My my, I thought you’d have forgotten me by now child. I must admit it’s a pleasant surprise to be wrong.” His words were soft and accompanied by a chuckle.

“Sorry for not coming back earlier, there’s been a lot of homework lately.” And by that she meant the worst torture of all, math. “How have you been?”

         Oh, no, she was actually fighting back! Una quickly ducked and began to gather snow toward her chest. If they were going to battle, she had preparations to make. “Ice fortress, assemble!” It wasn’t more than a small mound, but she was a small girl. She could fit behind it. Probably. Hopefully.

“Yeeees!” Sakura exclaimed with joy before she hurried to build her own fortress. If this was going to be done, they might as well get serious. The young girl hurried to make some snowballs as soon as she finished her defense, it was all or nothing. “Are you ready Una-san?”

Hades smile remained the same as he looked towards the sky. “There he is now… You might actually see him. That cloud there, that looks like a man. That is Zeus.” True to his word there was a large man shaped cloud that was passing by but it was moving quite fast and would be gone within minutes.

Following his signals, the young girl looked up at the sky, curious and finding it a bit hard to focus until she finally saw it, the man-like cloud. In awe, the young girl smiled at such realisation, “Amazing...But still that’s unfair!” she snapped while staring back at his brother, “There should be at least one time where you could see each other. I can’t even think how awful it must have been for you two...” the little one stopped herself to take some of her breath back.
