Writer's Note:
This story came to my head after watching the anime series it was before I knew that Ryuu met Finn but I still want to write this story. I hope you like this. I would love to get a few reviews! Please!
The Forgotten Girl
Chapter 1: How I met her
It was a normal day at Hakusenkan; everyone would greet us happily and insanely start babbling about how popular we were. I wonder how they would treat us if we were normal students I thought as I led Megumi and Jun away from the crowd of people. He then noticed that some of the people that normally greeted them weren't present actually the crowd seemed smaller than I thought it was before.
I turned my head looking around at the beautiful school grounds on the green grass but something seemed to catch my eye. There was a huge crowd surrounding someone in front of a tree and I could see people whispering from the back of the crowd. What is going on? I thought straining my eyes to see who they were surrounding, and that was when I first lay eyes on her.
When I first looked at her I thought it was a buy because of the dark black hooded sweater she was wearing and the large hood covering most of her face up to her mouth but then he noticed her red school uniform skirt that she was wearing that any other normal student would. Her mouth seemed to be in a straight line not showing any sort of emotion.
He started walking off towards the huge crowd to hear what was going on curiosity coming over him. Megumi wrote on her new sketchpad Yahiro gave her and held it up, "What's wrong Ryuu?" Jun then said, "Yeah, is something going on over there?" as the two younger teens followed Ryuu to the crowd.
The two of them stood a little farther away behind Ryuu when he heard what was going on, a student with dark black hair and brown eyes with a smirk on his face was in front of the girl as everyone else surrounded the two of them. The boy replied, "I heard from the people at your other school said you were a complete loser and you had like, only two friends? Wow, what a failure," in a rude tone of voice as if he were disgusted to just be standing next to her.
"Your totally right Jake, I mean look at what she's wearing just cause you have a hood over your head doesn't make you cool. I bet you can't even afford an actual jacket" a random girl in the crowd said meanly while smiling. "Is your face so ugly you can't even show it to anyone? Your such a loser, I can't believe your actually allowed to this school no wonder you have no friends," the boy stated as if he were the king of the world. Ryuu hated the way he was treating this girl he despised these types of people, as he clenched his fists with anger.
Megumi and Jun glanced at one another worriedly wondering what Ryuu was about to do hoping that he wouldn't do something he would regret and Takishima wasn't even here yet to stop him. "You guys shouldn't be treating her like that," Ryuu said seriously stepping into the center of the crowd pushing people out of his way stepping in between the boy and the girl.
"Oh! Ryuu I had no idea you arrived already," the boy said stepping back and so did everyone else that was standing there to watch what was going on. They all remembered what he did to that guy that messed with the S.A once they knew to not get in his way or get on his bad side. "Especially a new student", Ryuu continued smirking at the boy's reaction, "You should all be going to class." The students started to walk off whispering to themselves leaving only Ryuu and the girl standing near the tree and Jun and Megumi a few meters away from them.
"Isn't this the part where you say 'thank you'" I replied turning to look at the girl who stood there in front of me, she then looked away from me her unseen eyes darting to the ground and back up at me. "I didn't need your help but thanks anyways," she said in a way that she didn't really mean it or that she didn't like relying on others. I smiled looking down at the girl that was pretty tall but not as tall as me, "You looked like you were in trouble to me. But your welcome, my name's Ryuu."
The girl then stopped looking at the ground she then said fiercely, "hey I don't remember screaming for help or crying or anything so don't say I was in trouble," as she crossed her arms grudgingly. I never met a girl that didn't fall for me so easily and didn't start gushing out how handsome I looked, she actually looked mad. "A simple thank you would have been nice. But if you want me to say it so badly…you weren't in trouble I just felt like helping out cause I pitied you. Now are you happy I told you the truth?" I said smirking at this girl's anger as she uncrossed her arms and flailed her arms everywhere.
"What? You did not just say you pitied me!" she yelled pointing her finger at my face stepping towards me angrily. I backed up a little and replied, "Okay, I didn't mean it that way just relax! There's no need to over react" I said and she relaxed putting her arms down grabbing her schoolbag from the grassy ground. She crossed her arms while still holding it and mumbled, "I'm not overreacting."
"So I didn't catch your name before you started yelling at me crazily" I replied while I picked up my bag from the ground that I dropped when I backed up from her. "There is no need for you to know my name," she said and smiled slightly looking like she wanted to laugh at my remark. "Well, I guess I'll see you later" I said looking at her hooded face. "I doubt it, but okay," she said smiling a bit before we both parted ways heading in the opposite directions.
When I reached Megumi and Jun they seemed quieter then they usually were and I asked, "What is it?" and they both stammered Jun saying nothing and Megumi writing nothing as well, I shrugged not bothering to figure out what was going on in their little minds. All of us made our way to the giant greenhouse beside the huge school a little place in heaven that we call our own is what I always thought it was.
For some reason I didn't feel myself when I walked into the room where everyone was sitting and drinking Akira's tea, I couldn't stop thinking of her. I scowled to my self when I was sitting down trying to get her out of my head all she really did was fight with me right? When a sloth landed onto my shoulder I didn't even react or pay any attention to it, I just continued to stare into the distance not even bothering to listen to Kei and Hikari's next challenge they were talking about.
Megumi and Jun noticed this instantly that this time it wasn't a animal stealing their Ryuu's attention but an actual girl but they didn't feel jealous they felt worried he didn't really think twice about girls, I repeat he never thinks twice about girls. That was the complete truth there was never any exceptions, except for the one they were getting right now and she didn't even treat him that nicely. "Ryuu, what did you talk about with the girl you saved this morning when we were walking to the greenhouse?" Jun asked curiously and startled me from my thoughts.
Everyone else suddenly seemed to look surprised and I was given a lot of curious stares as I took a nervous shaky sip of my tea using the sparkling silverware Akira always seemed to take so good care of. "Well...um...nothing really I guess she just got angry at me for helping her out but she ended up saying thanks in the end," I replied trying to make it seem pretty unimportant and boring. The whole group still looked surprised maybe because normally I wouldn't even bother to say what happened because I normally would care less about girls.
They all knew that Jun or Megumi wouldn't bring something up that wasn't important they always notice the little important things going on and I'm sure they won't give up until they figure out every little detail. So that was probably why they all seemed so interested and absorbed into this conversation. "What did she look like?" Akira asked curiously probably imagining how beautiful this girl was for me to actually pay attention to her. Megumi suddenly started to write furiously before I can answer plainly as if I didn't care. We all read what her sign wrote and I sighed in defeat after reading it, "She looked really mysterious with a dark hood over her head, but Ryuu still walked right in to defend her. The only thing you can stare at are her lips which I'm sure were pretty, am I right, Ryuu?"
I looked away from everyone's stares they would probably burn right through me if I looked straight at them so I ended up saying, "Uh, I don't think that's really important. I'm going, my class is going to start soon anyways" as I got up trying to not look at Megumi and Jun's pained faces while I left the huge greenhouse. I wish I didn't do that but I'm sure Megumi and Jun can talk about this to the others. I just don't feel like sitting there and watchingI thought to myself as I opened the door to exit the huge greenhouse not daring to look back before I left.
Back where the rest of his best friends were Megumi and Jun had worried frowns on their faces, watching him leave disappearing through the bright green trees, in the jungle like greenhouse. The sloth on his shoulder had already left as well going back to the trees very sad that his owner hadn't paid any attention to him. Megumi then wrote on her sketch pad "I'm worried..." and Jun said, "He hasn't been acting himself lately" as they looked pleading at their best friends who were just as worried as they were. "Don't worry I'm sure he will go back to normal after a while these things just happen once in a while" Kei replied trying to stay positive, looking at the others for help.
They all nodded agreeing to what he said as the two young teens faces looked down at their laps sadly like children missing their parents. "Tell us what happened" Tadashi said with food in his mouth receiving an elbow from Akira who scolded him for talking with food in his mouth. The twins looked at one another and nodded taking a deep breath before retelling the whole story of what happened that morning, as the others listened to it interested as hell thinking of how this girl looked like and why she had changed the way he acted so fast that he didn't seem like himself anymore.
"This may be more complicated than I thought it would" Kei said after the twins finished their story with worried looks on both of their faces and the others were thinking the same thing as Kei...
Writer's Note:
Okay I think this chapter will be good for now, I was actually going to make this longer but I decided against it. I really want to get at least one review for me to continue this. Because I really want to know if I should put the next chapter in the new girl's point of view or should I just do the story completely in Ryuu's point of view? I really need to know this stuff, so please review! I need to know if this is a good idea or not! Till next time...shadowgirlxion..
