"You want to take me out?" I put my hands in my pockets, now unable to look at Akane directly.
"Um, yeah. Just the two of us. You know, just because..." I trail off.
"I've known you for like, not even three days."
She had a point. She transferred here on Tuesday, Wednesday was when we "went to the beach", and today was Thursday.
"Well, that gives me more reason to take you out. So I can get to know you better."
"How do I know I can trust you?"
"... Um, I don't know."
"Can I trust your brother with childcare?"
"Maybe, I think yeah."
"If I can trust your brother to take care of my brother while we're out, then we can call it even."
"Oh, then I'll ask him."
"
"Hikaru?" I pop my head into the conversation he was having with a few girls.
"I got to ask you something."
"You don't have to. I'm already yours." The girls squealed in the background as Hikaru cupped my cheeks.
Really, Hikaru? You do this now?
"Well, uh... um..." Geez, how do I respond? Hikaru must've sensed my discomfort, so he waved the girls off.
"Sorry ladies, we need some private time." The girls nodded and dashed off.
"So what is it little bro?"
"I'm not that little..." I mumble. "Anyway, are you busy on Friday?"
"No, why?"
"I was planning to take Akane out for a few hours and she'll go if you watch her little brother." When I said "take Akane out", Hikaru started grinning like an idiot.
"What?"
"My little bro is finally growing up..."
"I'm only a few minutes younger!" I complain. Hikaru laughs,

"Look, of course I'll look after... what's her brother's name?"
"Yoichirou."
"Yeah, him."
"Will you?"
"Yes. I'm serious. You can learn something on your date."
"'Date'?"
"Well, you like her don't you?" I let out an exasperated huff,
"Isn't it freaking obvious?"
Silence.
"Are you saying I'm 'inexperienced'?" I say quietly.
"Well, yeah. Look, you always put others first. That's how you are with everyone. That's also why you distanced yourself from Haruhi."
"You noticed?"
"Yeah. You did that for me didn't you? And now that you have Akane, you can finally experience what 'in-love' feels like." I was silent. I guess I really did put others first now that I think about it. Hikaru puts a hand on my shoulder.
"I know you, Kaoru. Sometimes you wonder what will happen when I take the next step. Well, I think your answer is Akane."
"You think?"
"No, I know. There's something special about her... I don't know, but I can see you with her. You should try to make a move on her if you can."
"I met her not even three days ago." I bring up Akane's earlier point.
"So build something during your time with her. Your a good person, Kaoru, and I'm not just saying that because I'm your brother." He pats my back,
"You're on your own, brother. And knowing you, that shouldn't be a problem."
"
"Well, he agreed to look after him for the time we're out." I tell Akane when I gathered my guts to approach her again.
"Cool, cool." she says. "Where do you plan on taking me?"
"Oh, a few places. Eat somewhere, watch a movie--"
"A date."
"What? No not a--"

"Sure sounds like one."
"... Okay, yeah. It's a date. We can put it that way..." I mumble the last part incoherently. Akane snickers,
"I don't mind really, it's not like I get out much anyway."
"Really? How come?"
"Oh, just... meh, I don't have much motivation I guess." She seemed uncertain at that.
"Well, I should make sure you have fun then."
"Don't over do it."
"I won't. So should I pick you up from your place?"
"Uh, no. We can just walk over if your house isn't far."
"It's about two minutes from school,"
"That shouldn't be a problem. Let me get an address." I rattle off my address and me and Hikaru's phone number to her.
"Thanks."
"No problem, is tomorrow, Friday, at five pm fine?"
"Yep, it's a date."

The White Rabbit: Book 2
In the Urillian Empire, the Empress Xandra rules three-quarters of the planet Xren from her home in the capital of the Earth Continent. Both the fire and water peoples have fallen under her might after a series of wars stretching back three centuries. Earth elves, under Xandra's rule, have spread throughout the planet and established colonies, and are, by all accounts, enjoying what seems to be a prosperous and happy existence. But not everyone in Uril is happy. The holy books speak of elves as the Chosen People of Thesis, tasked with guiding and protecting the lower races. For some people, this scripture has been interpreted to designate their life as one on the lowest rungs of society. Humans have been reduced to a slave class, and serve their elven masters under Xandra's rule, kept at bay by the constant fear of the dreaded Emerald Knight, and their own perceived weakness. Humans do not lead long lives, nor do they possess the wisdom, power, or magical acumen of their elven masters. But there is hope. A group of people have banded together to fight against Xandra, her Knight, and her empire. They call themselves the "Knights of Order" united under the principle idea that Xandra's reign has brought chaos unto Xren, and they wish to restore order. These Knights are led by a man named Xaxac Brigaddon, spoken of as a legend. They say that when the moons are full, some humans transform into powerful beasts. They say that Xaxac is the most powerful warrior on Xren, that in his youth he was enslaved and forced to fight other humans to the death in a bloodsport called "cage fighting", that he could not be touched and held the world championship title for three years running until he faked his own death and escaped his master to join the resistance. They say that he has friends in high places- noblemen, pirates, and the devil himself. They say that if you can find him, he can ferry you to freedom in places where the Earth Elves fear to tread. They say that he is immune to magical attack, and his eyes shine like the silver moon. They say that he is descended from Quizlivian Brigaddon, one of the humans who helped the demon Magnus escape a god. They say that if you want to walk the Path of Order, you should follow the White Rabbit.Come and watch the transformation from human boy to Knight of Order: The life and times of Xaxac OfAgalon OfLangil Brigaddon. Content Warning: This work is based on the real experiences of human trafficing survivors. Xaxac's origins are based on true events, and they are presented realisitcally; this includes but is not limited to: isolation, gaslighting, emotional and sexual abuse, and grooming tactics. This work is meant to hold a mirror up to society; it is based on the real of experiences of people who have experienced slavery and/or abuse. It is an adult work and probably should not be read by anyone under the age of 18. If you are a survivor of human trafficing and/or abuse, your feedback is welcome, but please do not read this if you think it may trigger your trauma. I did not write this with the intention of harming anyone, but rather to provide accurate representation for a group that does not normally get it in the hopes of changing the zeitgeist. I would like to see a world where more people understand what these experiences are like, so that real survivors do not have to deal with microagressions from an ignorant public. Reader discretion is advised. This book does not display these elements as heavily as book 1.
