Genres: Angst/Horro/Friendship/(Romance)

Hi guys. I know I shouldn't be going for more stories, but this one was in my mind for a long time and I really needed to post it. The idea is based on some quotes I have read and also some stories and animes I wached.

So here is it. Hope you'll like it and please let me know if I should continue.

Besides sentences which are underlined are quotes on which the story is based on. (Well most of them and some of my onw creativeness^^)

Do you believe in rumors told by others long time ago?

Do you believe in something superhuman mentioned in those rumors?

Do you believe in horror movies said to be based on reality?

Do you believe in destiny being decided from the moment you were born?

The little blue head didn't, he read many stories and theories, but all of them were only fictional, so why would he believe in rumors about something superhuman? Why would he believe in something like destiny? After all he was just a normal human, with normal thoughts, these things don't exist. He thought.

Once upon a time there was a little boy playing day after day.

Until night in a forest far by side.

Being happy and sly.

One day there was fire everywhere

But still he wasn't afraid nor did he cry

Not even when blood was every here and there

He only kept saying

'The best thing about the worst time in your life….'

"Shiota Nagisa"

"Here" the small boy rose his hand and gave his teacher assurance of his presence. It was first period. Math. He didn't like it that much, since the topic was too complicated for him to understand. Trying to follow his teacher as he wrote down notes on the blackboard unfortunately he couldn't follow.

That's how he is. Shiota Nagisa fifteen years old, student. Not very good in school. His marks were going down by time and he didn't think of a great future with those. With his long blue hair, often pulled together into two pigtails, he looked like a girl. Unfortunately he had quite feminine body contours to exaggerate that thought.

So he often ended up being bullied because of it, after all the disappointment of him not being a girl. (The boys in his class were surprisingly nice at first, that Nagisa thought it was too good to be true. Well then he saw their true faces)

Well he did hate his long hair after all, he wanted to cut it so badly. If it was short no one would mistake him as a girl. Not that much though. But his family matters where a huge hindrance. His mother to be exact. She always wanted to have a daughter, but unfortunately got a son.

Even though he was a boy she did raise him up like a girl. Or wanted to. When his parents were still together they argued a lot over that fact. Things got worse after their divorce, Nagisa stayed alone with his mother.

Ever since then he was forced to live the way she wants him to. Not to object. Always obey to her. Always being a good girl. So he never knew how to object anyone else. Saying no was too hard for him. And he was far too nervous around people, especially when he was mistaken as a girl. It was something he hated, but there wasn't anything he could do.

Ignoring others insulting him or obey them when they wanted something was good enough to keep him out of trouble. That's how the weak are supposed to be, right?

After all even his teacher disliked him, because of his bad marks. Every student with bad marks was treated badly by the others, who better than them.

Only the worst things happen to me in my life after all.

Break time.

Nagisa sighed in relief when the bell rang signaling for break. Lunch time to be exact. He went out to the playground and sat by a big tree, which was his favorite one and took out his lunch box. His lunch: Sushi.

Around him were students eagerly talking about sports, gossips and all the usual stuff. He didn't like to talk with others at all, or rather others didn't really hang around him. He couldn't blame anyone. He was strange, he even admitted it himself. He was a rather silent and shy student, often too nervous to speak to anyone, but he never actually mentioned why he was like this, what family situation he had. He didn't want anyone take pity on him and hang out. He never expected anyone to understand him though. So he just accepted their distance.

Due to that he was almost invincible. It happened a lot of times, that when he came to others and touched them with one finger to get their attention (hoping to get in a conversation) they freaked out immediately. Telling him that he scared them and they had the feeling of a snake being around them.

Which led them to the decision to stay more distant to him. Unfortunately there were also students who thought to mess around with the shy and weak young boy. He couldn't do anything after all, because he indeed was very weak, even weaker than most of the girls in his class or maybe all of them.

While eating his sushi, his favorite meal besides, he overheard a conversation of at least ten students.

"Have you heard the news", one of them asked.

"You remember the last teacher of us right? Takaoka-Sensei disappeared weeks ago. He's been found dead man!"

Shock came to the students around and so to Nagisa.

He could remember that the last PE lesson with Takaoka was three weeks ago, after that he was confirmed to be missing and everyone should keep eyes around. No way is he dead!

"Really?" asked one of the girls in disbelieve.

"How could someone kill such a great man? He was so nice."

"No idea, I heard he was found in the forest."

"Wait do you mean in that forest?"

True that, Takaoka could sometimes be strict and all, but he was indeed a nice person. He even gave sweets and other gifts to students and wanted always their best, always smiling at his students. He wasn't like other teachers to look down on them, not even the worst students in school. Even to Nagisa he was nice and the blue head did like his PE teacher a lot.

In the forest, repeated Nagisa in his mind. There was a forest near their school, but as far as he knew it was forbidden to enter that place.

In past weeks some other people disappeared from there too. Some of them were also confirmed to be dead. Since than the police said that there is most probably a mass murderer running around and tracks his victims over to the forest to kill them. In most brutal ways.

Sometimes people even reported to have heard painful screams from the 'forbidden' forest during night while they were passing by. All of these were rumors which sounded more like some kind of horror story. And still it was enough to scare them all. Especially since the victims were either directly from their school or in some way related to it.

Ever since that no one ran around after sunset policemen warned to go out in the dark and to be outside alone. It went so far, that they even told everyone not to be alone outside during daytime.

Just hearing that story Nagisa felt fear rise inside of him. Sure he wasn't actually someone to believe in rumors, but these ones were different than usual ones he heard. The victims did disappear and they were found dead, these are things that really did happen, so there was indeed some sort of killer running around. To top all these fact, Nagisa himself even knew some of them, after all one victim was his teacher.

And who wouldn't be scared to hear that a murderer was wandering around near you? He could even be watching them during day time and wait for the perfect opportunity to strike. Or worse: It could be one from the school. All these thought made him suspect nearly everyone around him. No one could be trusted, and so all the students started to act suspicious towards each other.

Even among friends. There was no trust at all. Everyone was just pretending to be alright, to be friends. Yet there were no real friends around. When Nagisa realized this fact, he wasn't that depressed of being ignored, it's better to be ignored than to be distrusted by someone you thought was your friend.

…..true colors of every one.

After lunch he went back to his classroom being ready for English lessons, which he actually liked. English was his favorite lesson, even though he wasn't the best in it, he was better than in other subjects. Subjects like science. The one worst of his, he would never get better in science and would always hate it.

The day went by, rather fast. Late in the evening the class was dismissed. Teachers as well as students rushed home as fast as possible. The sun would be setting soon and they needed to get home, before night falls. And so did Nagisa.

Meeting a mass murderer was the last thing he wanted to do. Reminding these words in his mind he quickly packed all of his books in his bag and left the school building. He was scared after all. Who wouldn't be?

There was only one problem. The gate. The gate was blocked. Terasaka and his friends were there, waiting for someone. And he knew who they were waiting for. Him. Just ignore them, Nagisa thought, if I hurry I can get past.

Sad fact, one of the bigger boys grabbed his shoulder to hold him in place. Another sad fact, Nagisa was in no way strong enough to free himself so there his plan of getting home failed. Great. Nagisa your luck is unbelievable. "Do you want something?" asked the blue head. He looked down on the ground to avoid any eye contact.

"You know Nagisa", spoke up Terasaka, "I am sure you have heard about that murderer wandering around, haven't ya'?" Nagisa nodded. Nervousness increasing inside of him. What do they want?

"You see, since no one saw him we don't believe in that", he smiled dangerously. Nagisa had an idea, but he really hoped to be wrong on that one. "Why don't you join us? Let's go to the forbidden forest."

He knew it. He so knew it. No way, why me? "Why do you want me to come along?" It's called forbidden forest for a reason! He wanted to say, but decided not to. Terasaka wrapped an arm around the shorter boy's shoulders. "Come on, it's much more fun. Let's go!"

And Nagisa had never felt so much fear and anger before. Terasaka was strong and bullied people many times, but he was never someone with something called brain. His marks spoke it all, they were even worse than Nagisa's.

Therefor it wasn't surprising that he wanted to mess around and show how great he is. He was stupid enough to ignore warnings that may save his life and always showed off how brave he was. All of that led him to be easy to trick and make do things for others, without him even realizing it.

Nagisa was pretty sure of the fact that Terasaka made some stupid 'truth or dare game' and now wants to prove how brave he is. But he didn't ask about it. He just wanted to leave.

Just like Nagisa, Terasaka didn't believe in rumors, especially when there were no eye witnesses, but other than the blue head, he ignored the police reports and reports of ear witnesses.

He did not believe in that story after all, so Terasaka must be thinking that this dare was an easy to go. Nagisa was one of his favorite victims besides, so he must be wanting to mess around with him too, must want to have something to laugh at.

No. He only wanted to make fun of Nagisa. He knew that the blue head was scared and wanted to rub salt into it.

And so they dragged the poor little boy along.

Soon Nagisa will find out was, that every bad thing that happens may contain a good life lesson. You just have to see it.
