"Subaru-kun," Hoshi called flatly.

"Hm?" he hummed, slowly turning around to face the girl calling him.

Hoshi waited until he fully faced her and snapped a quick photo of him before he could blink or register what was going on.

"I was wondering... You don't seem too close with your sister... Why is that?" the girl asked, snapping her transer closed.

Subaru batted his brown eyes and then rubbed his face exhaustively.

"Sister?" You mean Suyuri?" he asked, still not taking in the fact that she was indeed his twin sister.

"Errr... Yes.." she replied, sweat dropping. "I'm pretty sure I only know one of your siblings, if you had more than one..."

The boy just shrugged and leaned his head onto her table in a way that showed he lost some sleep just last night. Not really too surprising in Hoshi's opinion since he's nearly like that every day.

"Not close, huh? Hmmm, I don't believe her to be my twin sibling since I never even knew about her or knew if I had a sibling. I guess that's why," the boy replied just as flat.

"Oh, well, sorry I asked," the girl immediately said, thinking it was kind of a sensitive topic for the boy.

"No, no! Not at all, don't worry!" he said.

With a quick nod of her head, Hoshi opened her transer again and began looking at the pictures she took recently, comparing them side by side and studying every detail on each individual. From the face shape to the eye shape. From the eye shape to the hair color. From the hair color to the hair style. Technically, to put it short, everything. The girl lowered her eye lids a little, which managed to catch the boy in front of her's attention.

"Is something the matter?" Subaru asked curiously, pushing himself up right. "Are you not feeling well?"

Pink lashes flickered as the girl blinked her ocean blue eyes a few times, her eyes fluttering until it was opened wide again.

"Huh? Oh yeah, I'm alright. Sorry, just dozing of again."

"Doze?" Subaru repeated. "Again? You've never actually dozed off before, I don't think..."

And with that, the boy, sat up completely and leaned forward to touch the girl's forehead before touching his own. The girl immediately closed her transer and waited for him to pull away or at least say something.

"Hmmm, your temperature seems fairly normal... Did you lose sleep last night?" he finally asked.

"I could ask you the same thing," Hoshi chuckled lightly. "Yes, I did lose some sleep. You should also worry about yourself first before worrying about others."

The boy just replied with a guilty sounding laugh, rubbing the nape of his neck to match his tone. Hoshi sat still, but was flashing a calm and relaxed smile to her friend before opening her transer again to continue with the comparison.

"Say, Subaru-kun?" Hoshi called again, her eyes never leaving the screen of her device.

"Yes?"

The girl began to rethink about whether to ask or not, but decided to go and roll with the question. Her first and only thought so that he didn't get suspicious of her was to stay calm and play dumb.

"I wonder who Megaman really is..." she began, thinking small. "I'm pretty sure he can't suddenly appear out of nowhere into our world..."

That struck a string in the boy's chest, the thread being connected to his thoughts, bones, muscles, all that good stuff that made up a human's body and emotions.

"W-what makes you say that?" he asked, trying hard to contain his stutter.

Hoshi looked up from her transer innocently and shrugged.

"Well, he just appeared out of nowhere one day... And then this world suddenly began to have more people that resembled him fighting that guy..." she said, thinking of Cygnus Wing and Taurus Fire to be exact.

"T-that's true... Good q-question..." he said, sounding a little nervous. "Look at the time! I guess I got to go get my sister and go home!"

"But you never actually wait for her...?" Hoshi pointed out.

"Oh really? Well I guess it's never too late to change that habit of mine, haha!"

Subaru stood from his seat and grabbed his supplies before walking off and waving.

"Well, I'll be, uh, seeing you around!" the boy said, charging out of the classroom.

'Smooth...' Omega-Xis muttered from his operator's transer.

'Just be quiet...' Subaru grumbled back. 'It'd be bad if someone found out now.'

'Well, that was certainly... different...' Hoshi told herself.

Vulpecula just didn't seemed to answer or make a witty comment this time around, making her partner just as curious as she was with Subaru AND his twin sister's case. The girl just sighed and decided to head back home herself, keeping her questions unasked until she made it back home safely.

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

"He was hesitant," Hoshi finally said after laying on her bed in silence for nearly an hour and a half.

"Who was hesitant?" Vulpecula asked, appearing out of the contraption. "Your boyfr-"

"Subaru-kun isn't my boyfriend, Vul. That joke is getting old..." she said, cutting her wizard off.

Vulpecula just shrugged and fix her position in the air, crossing her front paws on top of one another and leveling the rest of her lower body with her upper body. She suddenly twitched her ears, making a trail of orange waves that seemed to dissolve into thin air.

"Subaru-kun stuttered and looked for an excuse to leave the class earlier than usual today," the girl said, connecting her transer onto her computer she rarely used near her bed. "And they look exactly the same. Not a single hint of difference at all, excluding their outfits..."

"They?" Vul asked again.

"Dear lord... Vulpecula, I meant Hoshikawa Subaru-kun and Megaman. Don't you think they look the same?" Hoshi asked, pointing at the screen with her thumb.

She then transferred and set Suyuri and Queen Magical's pictures underneath their twins' photos. Both twin humans and twin EM beings were identical to each other a hundred percent and what more could she say? They were both twins in both forms coincidentally. That only raised her suspicions more between the four.

"Hm, I guess your right," the fox said casually.

Hoshi took off the blue contraption on her arm and set it down next to her pillow so that she could still see it even if her view was now sideways from it. She then looked up at her wizard who was busy staring at the pictures aimlessly as if in deep thought.

"Thinking of something?" Hoshi asked as she rose a brow.

"Huh? Oh, no, not at all. Just looking at the resemblances," the alien said, shaking her mind off.

Silence passed by once again, but was cut short this time. Really short.

"... You're hiding something."

Vulpecula blinked her slender neon green eyes and looked away before replying.

"I certainly am not and I have no reason to hide things from anyone."

"I won't take that answer to heart," Hoshi said with a frown.

'She's more perceptive than I thought she'd be...' Vul thought with vigilance.

The orange fox alien waited until Hoshi was finally asleep and decided to head out to look for Subaru, wanting to check out if he had any second thoughts or was just as suspicious about Hoshi as she was with him. Vul traveled around on the wave road from area to area, looking for the specific boy or even at least sense Omega-Xis' waves near her which had a pretty low possibility. Surely enough, she found the boy being chased by... a police car...?

'What the hell is going on..?' Vulpecula asked herself, keeping her distance though she made sure she didn't lose the two.

The boy seemed to have managed to escape the cop for a short amount of time, but then stumbled across another problem near a museum. A virus human was destroying the museum; yes, the entire building, and reducing it to rubble. The police car stopped in front of Subaru at the scene and Detective Goyoda stepped out of the vehicle only to lock up the boy and chase after the virus merged human.

'What an idiot..' the alien commented. 'He's just going to get himself hurt.'

Vul then decided that it was a better idea to stay away from the entire scene and rested at the empty wave road, watching everyone scream and run while Goyoda wrestled with the unknown person, getting himself thrown around. A familiar group of students came out of the breaking down building and approached the car themselves, suddenly unlocking the car door to free Subaru. The boy ran off and quickly wave changed before the man who threw him into the car was sliced into two by the virus, blocking the virus' blade from going any further. Subaru, transformed Megaman, leapt away from the two, driving the enemy's attention to himself before he summoned his sword battle card. The virus was easily defeated by Megaman, quickly disappearing and sending the human used as a vessel back to the human world just as fast as the problem ending.

'Why can't Hoshi be more active like Subaru..?' the alien complained, as she watched him retreat back to the car.

The vessel was finally awake, but still groggy and confused as he was being arrested. Detective Goyoda approached his vehicle by himself and unlocked the back door to allow Subaru out of the car. After the men left, the alien approached Subaru and hovered above his head, noticing that he couldn't see her without his visualizer like Hoshi could.

'Hey, kid,' she whispered.

Subaru's attention perked at the voice, causing him to look around for the source her voice.

"Vul?" he asked, putting on the visualizer and looking around again.

"I can't believe you got caught by that crazy police guy," Vul taunted a little. "Looks like someone was onto your case."

Subaru sighed and furrowed his brow a little.

"Two people to be exact. I feel like I'm going to be caught soon and I mean very soon," the boy told the alien.

Vulpecula hummed a bit and then nodded, being careful not to reveal anything about her relationship with Hoshi.

"You better be careful then. If you don't want anyone to find out, you need to do a better job," Vul told the boy. "I've been watching and I can see how flawed your cover is. Of course someone would find out about your true identity."

'I hate to admit it, but Foxy here is right,' Omega-Xis said from in the boy's transer, appearing next to Vulpecula. "We've been running head into the trouble instead of blending in."

'Vul!' Vulpecula heard someone call.

It was a good thing the other two wasn't able to catch the voice from a good distant. Hoshi turned the corner and spotted Vul and Omega-Xis next to each other and then there was Subaru with his visualizer on looking at the aliens calmly. The boy turned to look at who it was coming and stared at Hoshi, glancing at the aliens quickly and then back at the girls.

"Hi, Subaru-kun. What are you doing here?" the girl greeted casually, trying to ignore the aliens.

"Just... taking a walk! I was heading home just now. How about you?" Subaru responded, sweating a little.

Hoshi smiled and brushed back her hair to see a little clearer.

"Me? I was strolling around for some fresh air as well," the girl lied. "Since it's beginning to grow dark, I should head back as well."

Subaru eyed the aliens again carefully and slowly nodded to Hoshi, telling her he heard her loud and clear.

"How about come visit my place? It's actually pretty close, so you can rest there for a bit, that's if you are comfortable with the idea of course," he suddenly offered.

'Please tell me he isn't actually testing me and my compatibility with Vul..' the girl thought, her smile beginning to grow heavy and tiring. "S-sure, I don't mind. Thank you."

The two began to walk off with each other, but little did they know, someone completely unknown to them was watching from above.

'Interesting... I wonder...' he said, his voice sounding a little low and hushed.
