Okay, this is my first oc story, here it goes...
The Stranger
You are later...and before...and by yourself...because in a battle of life and death...
...friendship is forever forgotten...
I tightened the ribbon in my hair and watched as my classmates fought to the death. They were best friend's. Now they had to kill eachother. I watched as one of them pulled out a knife and ran toward's the other. I hated it... He drove the knife into his bestfriend without hesitation. I hated this place... His friend looked into his eye's with a look of pain and betrayal, before collapsing to the ground in a pool of his own blood. There was a long silence and the Headmaster clapped, a grim smile on his face. "You are dismissed," The Headmaster muttered at the boy. The boy looked at his lifeless friend, tear's in his eye's. I curled my finger's in my uniform skirt. The bloody knife slipped from the boy's hand, hitting the ground loudly. Th Headmaster got up without a word as the boy began fell to his knee's and screamed. "You are all dismissed," The headmaster announced leaving the room. I blinked back tear's and slowly got up. My classmates ran to the door, as I stood there staring at the screaming boy
"Your're...soo weak...," I told him in a hoarse voice before walking out of the room. I slammed the door behind me and leaned against it, listening to his scream's of regret. Regret... I broke into a run, clutching my chest. People stared as I ran off. I kicked the door's of the empty second year class open and stared, my breath's quick. Hisao looked up and met my eye's with his crystal blue one's. We shared a silence and he opened his arm's to me. I curled my hand's into fist's, my face twisting in pain and I ran into his arm's. He stroked my hair and held me to his chest. "...he killed him...," I whispered unbelivably. I pushed away from Hisao and kicked a desk. Hisao ran a hand through his white blonde hair, sighing. "Megumi...you know this happen's...," Hisao told me quietly. "What if we were assigned together, Hisao?" I whispered. Hisao gave me an angered look,"Don't even say that! That's never going to happen!" I shot him a glare,"It happened to that boy, Hisao! I watched him kill his best friend!" I hissed.
Hisao walked over to me and stood over me menacingly. "I promised your father I would protect you, so don't worry about it," He mumbled. I stared up at him thoughtfuly. "What?" He asked, stuffing a chocolate pocky in his mouth. "...nothing...," I muttered watching as he ate his pocky. He had killed someone. He didn't like talking about it. Noone did. He couldn't be a second year unless he had killed the person he was assigned to. Just like I would have to do. I thought of Hisao, killing someone...taking someone's life... I didn't want to think about it.
I walked down the quiet, empty street looking around eerily. I had the strange feeling I was being followed. I glanced behind me, only my steady breath's and footstep's audible. The sky darkened, cold air cutting at my face, making me blush crimson. I wrapped my arm's around myself, cursing the fact I didn't wear a jacket. I closed my eye's and placed my earphone's in my ear's, blasting an American rock song. Suddenly, I was being grabbed. My eye's snapped open, as I was being slammed against a building wall. "What's a little girl like you doing out here all alone?" The man who held me asked, his breath reaking of alchohol. He looked around eighteen or twenty, with dark gray eye's. Little girl? That bastard! I reached for the knife in my skirt, but he grabbed my wrist. "It's allright princess..your staying with me...," He slurred. I hated it when people called me princess.
"Let me go!" I yelled, kicking at his abdomen. He brought his lip's to my neck and my fist connected with his jaw, making him let me go. He touched his bleeding jaw, and cursed. I began to walk away when he grabbed my wrist. "I said , Let Me Go!" I yelled, kicking at him. He laughed as I struggled. "Let her go!" A voice yelled. I sighed in relief, Hisao. When I turned, it wasn't Hisao's blue eye's that I met. It was a pair of golden-green, catlike eye's. "Now, you should let that little girl go, It isn't right, she's way too young for you," He stated flashing a mischeivous grin. The man smirked,"Go away kid, I found her first!" The golden-eyed boy raised his brow's,"Fine, let her go, or I'll make you let her go," He growled. The man pushed me to the ground and put the knife to my face. "Touch me, and I cut," he hissed.
Gold eye's resisted and ran toward's the man with his fist in the air. I watched as the man cut the boy on the cheek. The boy blinked and touched his bleeding cheek. The man stood over him with the knife and my thought's went back to what happened today... I stood up and reached in the back of my uniform and pulled out a thick wooden stick. I placed it in front of me and slammed it against the man's head. He trembled and fell to the ground. I hated this... The golden eyed boy stared at me, his face unreadible. I dropped the bloodied stick and it clattered to the ground. I looked at the man, he wasn't dead...but I could've killed him. "...are you alright?" The boy asked quietly. I didn't answer him.
"My name is Kaoru...," He said standing up gingerly. I looked at him in pain. Kaoru... I backed away from him, I wouldn't remember... "Are you okay?" He asked again. No. He would never know what I felt...I would never be okay... Kaoru...That name... He walked toward's me and reached for my hand. I pulled away sharply. "Go away...," I whispered hoarsely. Kaoru...Kaoru...Kaoru... My hand's trembled and I put them to my face. "...please...go!" I demanded. "...no, I can't leave you here...," Kaoru said softly. He could never help me... I turned away and began walking down the pavement. "Wait!" Kaoru yelled. Something made me stop... "Can you tell me your name?" He yelled out, his cheek still bleeding. I twisted my shirt in my hand's and choked out,"Megumi Kaneko..."
I wanted to tell him...to save me...but he was like the rest of them...weak. "...It was nice meeting you...Megumi...," Kaoru whispered loud enough for me to hear. My breath caught and I stood there motionless. Maybe it was because, he was diffrent...he wasn't caught up in a world like mine... A world of pain and death. Because he treated me kindly...And he was a complete stranger... "Idiot," I mumbled and ran off without another word, tear's spilling over my eye's.
Because I would never see this stranger again.
Kaoru's pov: I stared after the girl. There was something in her eye's... I touched my bloody cheek, dark, crimson blood on my fingertip's. I stuffed my hand's in my pocket's and walked in the opposite direction. Megumi Kaneko. I would find this girl...
even if it was the last thing I did.
okay, if your confused Megumi and Hisao are in a school were they must kill the person they sre assigned to or die each year. Only the strongest survive. Hisao is a second year and Megumi is a first year. kinda like the Hunger games but not really.
