AU - High School, and all the angsty drama that comes with it. .'
I will try to make every chapter a new month of school, which means some chapters will be longer than other, especially as the year goes on. Some months make be broken into parts because of their length, so just watch the titles/parts. This takes place their Jr. Year of school. If all goes well I might make a Sr. Year one as well, but let me finish this one first!
*There will be no "man loving" between these two. Just winks, possible quick kisses and hand holding, like they normally do. I may make some innuendos at that but nothing else, and that will be most Yomi saying it.
I do NOT own Nightmare or their: family, friends or pets, The GazettE, Penicillin,Sid, Steins;Gate, Namkeo Mushroom Garden, Final Fantasy X-2, Call of Duty, Any Kempo dojo.
This is merly a work of fiction and may be based of of real people and events. If you dont like Gay relationships then please dont read! And Flaming me will not get it removed or changed. Flames will not be accepted.
~September: First Month of School~
Ni~ya shifted uncomfortably in front of the classroom, he hated being the 'new' kid in school. "Class this is Yuji Baba, he transferred from Natori High. Please treat him well." The female teacher told the class. Ni~ya could feel the heat rise to his face. As she told him where to sit he noticed that a rather strange looking boy sat next to his seat.
As Ni~ya took his seat he heard the strange boy whisper to him, 'Hi Yuji. I'm Ikari Mitsuo. You can just call me Hitsugi like everyone else." Ni~ya looked at him, a mouth full of piercings, one threw his bridge of his nose and one above the right eye, startling his eyebrow. His hair was black and red, twinged with a bit of pink. "Ok, Hitsugi. You can call me Ni~ya."
"This your first time in a big school? I hear Natori is pretty small. I had a friend that moved out there a few years back." Ni~ya was amazed at how much this kid talked. "Well I used to go to grade school here then my dad got a job offer in Natori. We just moved back a week ago." "Oh, what does your dad do for his job?" Ni~ya shook his head, "He's a head sensei at the Dojo here and in Natori. He teaches shorinji kempo."
Hitsugi smiled, "So you can kick some ass right?" Ni~ya shook his head, "It's not really about ass-kicking. More like mediation threw stances. Anyways, shouldn't we be paying attention?" Hitsugi nodded, displeased with Ni~ya's brush off. Sighing Ni~ya knew that this was going to be a long school year.
"Hey Ni~ya! Wanna join me for lunch?" Hitsugi called, rushing down the hallway. Ni~ya stood there, his bag in hand, unsure if he even wanted too. "I guess so." Hitsugi pulled him down the hall, "Hurry Yomi might have eaten all my food." "Yomi?' Ni~ya asked, confused. "Oh Yeah, you'll meet him soon enough, come on!" He said rushing past a group of girls.
"What took you so long?" Yomi asked playing with his food. He was shorter then Ni~ya by a head. His blonde hair was offset by the dark clothes he wore under his uniform. His ears had dangling piercings and he wore a large ring on his pinky. "Who's that?" Yomi said pointing to Ni~ya. "Oh, this is Ni~ya, he's new here."
"Ni~ya, what the hell kind of name is that? Was your mother drunk when she named you?" "What? You know I shouldn't have joined you two. You don't even know me and you're already harassing me." Ni~ya said, his hands balling into fists. "Yomi, apologize." A rather tall guy walked up, a cigarette dangled from his mouth and he held a bottle of Coke. He had two nose piercings and labret, one above his left eye and his left ear was filled with metal. His long dark brown hair was pulled back from the center of his forehead, the sides hanging down on the sides of his face. Ni~ya wondered if this was ok with the staff.
"What, he has a funny ass name." Yomi said looking up at the rather tall man. Narrowing his eyes Yomi looked to Ni~ya, "Sorry." Ni~ya let his fists fall apart, "By the way my name is Yuji, Ni~ya's a nickname." "Jun Chiba. Well know that's out of the way. Let's EAT!" he said digging into the plate full of food in front of him. The lager man looked at him, "Satoru Kano or RUKA." He put it simply, taking his seat next to Yomi. Hitsugi ushered Ni~ya to take a seat, telling him everything was cool now.
"Hey, we need partners in gym class. You any good at sports?" Hitsugi asked walking next to Ni~ya, he was now attached to him since he found out he and Ni~ya had almost every class together. "Well for the most part yeah." Hitsugi beamed, "Sweet, you're my partner. Aki the lazy ass made me drop a grade letter." Ni~ya just walked on, not really knowing what to say.
"So Ni~ya, what do you do for fun?" Hitsugi asked bouncing the basketball. "Well mainly just listening to music. I really like the band Motely Crew, and there's Guns 'n Roses and Iron Maiden as well." "Oh, never heard of them. I like Foo Fighters. Ever heard of them?" Ni~ya shook his head no and made a grab for the ball. It was easy for him, since he had been on the basketball team for three years now. He wondered if he should try out for it this year.
Shooting the ball Hitsugi watched in awe as the ball made in perfectly into the hoop. "Damn." He said. "Yeah well I also like basketball. Your team any good?" Hitsugi shrugged his shoulders, "Not sure, I never got into that stuff." Ni~ya nodded and went and grabbed the ball, throwing it at the shorter man. Barely catching it Hitsugi threw it at the hoop, missing it entirely. "Well if you want a better grade I guess I can teach you how to shoot a hoop." Ni~ya said with a bit of a chuckle.
School seemed fine once Ni~ya got used to his new group of 'friends'. Hitsugi he found liked animals a great deal and played guitar in his spare time. Yomi had an extensive collection of porn and hentai, which Ni~ya found he liked to laugh at. Ruka had been mostly silent since he first met him, the only things that Ni~ya really knew about him is that he loved Coke, had all the newest electronics and loved Steins;Gate, the anime. To him, they were all freaks, attached to him, another freak.
No other student bothered to say hi or even talk to him, making him feel like he had only these three to lean on. But that feeling changed when he found out how close he had gotten with them. Just in a few weeks had had hung out with them every day after school, hitting arcades and even a concert. High school in Sendai wasn't a bad place, till he seen it's true colors.
"Hey fag. Where's your books?" A large, rather over weight student asked a lithe, wisp of a boy. He looked at the books in his arms as if he was answering the question. With a quick, fluid motion, the larger guy smacked the books from his thin arms, sending then crashing to the floor. Ni~ya watched in horror as other students kicked the books up and down the halls.
The little male student stood there, tears welling in his eyes, body shaking. Ni~ya slowly walked over, trying not to startle the poor guy. "hey… you ok?" he asked. The smaller figure looked at him, glasses on his face, shaggy brown hair hiding his eyes. "yeah… just gotta get my books. No problem here." He said, trying to sound confident. "I'll help you. I'll get this side of the hall you can get the other." Ni~ya said head toward the closest book.
Collecting his fair share of books he headed back to the other student. "Here, this is all I could find. By the way I'm Ni~ya." The smaller figure looked up at him, "Funny name." Ni~ya rubbed his nose, "It'sa nickname. Yuji's my real name." Smiling the figure answered back, "Takahiro, you can call me Sakito though." Nodding as he handed him his books. "I think I have a few classes with you." Sakito nodded, "Most of them we share. Though you are always with Mitsuo-san."
"Hey, if you want you can hang with us. We are pretty cool, I don't think they'd mind another tag along." Sakito lowered his head, "No it's ok. I'd just rather sit alone. I work better that way." "Oh, well the offer still stands." Sakito nodded and left Ni~ya standing there in the hall, alone. Walking to his locker he decided to ask Hitsugi what he knew about Takahiro.
"Oh, Takahiro Sakaguchi-san? He's pretty smart. Only Ruka can meet his test scores. He's pretty much a loner. Though he gets bullied a lot. I kninda feel sorry for him. I think I tried to get him to hang out with me one time but he blew me off." Ni~ya watched as Yomi tried to snipe Ruka but to no avail. "So how do you think we can get him to hang out with us?"
"I don't want him hanging out with us. If the bullies found out then they'll be after us and I really don't want to beat some ass that early in the day." Yomi piped in. Ruka hit one button on his paddle and Yomi's character died. Crying out in disbelief Yomi threw his paddle. "Just talk to him some more. He'll open up." Ruka added, collecting the discarded paddle and handing it to Ni~ya. "Well that sounds like a good idea." Hitsugi spoke.
"No, only one person, too many and you'll scare him.
Ruka said pulling another cigarette from its pack. "Well Ni~ya started this mess, he should be the one to talk to him." Yomi said curling up on Ruka's lap. Ni~ya eyed the two, he wondered what their relationship was. "Yeah, he talked to you the most so far." Hitsugi added, sounding a little upset. "So I guess I'll start on Monday" Ni~ya said trying to hide from the stone cold killer that was Ruka.
Ni~ya scanned the gym for Sakito, Hitsugi and Aki at his side. "Do you really think a game of basketball is really gonna get him to be friends with you?" Aki asked. "Shut up Aki, no one asked you. Plus shouldn't you be getting us some people to play with anyways?" Hitsugi boldly said. Grunting Aki left their side.
"Hey, there he is. I'll head over, save the court k?" Ni~ya said leaving Hitsugi's side. "Hey Sakito, Hitsugi, Aki and I were gonna play some basketball. You wanna join?" Sakito fiddled with his shirt, "uh sure. I guess so. I'm not really good at basketball though." Ni~ya smiled, "Don't worry, I'll be your team mate then." Sakito nodded and followed Ni~ya to the court.
Aki walked back over, "No one else wanted to play with us so I guess it's two on two then." Ni~ya nodded, "Well I got Sakito, so you two check first." He said grabbing the ball off the floor. Sakito stood awkwardly next to Ni~ya unsure what to do. "If you get the ball, either shoot it or pass to me." Ni~ya whispered. Nodding Sakito looked a bit more confident in himself.
Passing the ball back to Aki, Ni~ya slid forward, trying to catch Aki off balance. Quickly passing the ball to Hitsugi, this gave Aki more room as Ni~ya ducked off after the ball. Sakito rushed forward to hopefully grab the ball from Hitsugi but slid into Ni~ya, causing the two to fall. "Sorry!" Piped Sakito, brushing his knees. "You ok?" Ni~ya asked getting to his feet, sticking his hand out for Sakito to take. 'Yeah." Sakito said being pulled to his feet.
"So the little queer found him some freaks to play with. How sweet." "Shut up Matsuide." Aki said. "Shut up bitch. Oahw look, Metal Mouth and the New Kid defending the little fagot." Ni~ya slide in front of Sakito, "Back off." Ni~ya growled, "What you gonna do freak?" Clenching his jaw Ni~ya slid forward, an open palm connecting with Matsuide's sternum.
Taking a few steps back and clenching his chest, Matsuide's friends swarmed Ni~ya surrounding him. A punch was thrown but Ni~ya dodged it, trusting his palm at the attacker. A whistle was blown somewhere and the swarm backed off, taking their wounded with them. The Gym teacher walked over and grabbed Ni~ya by the shirt, 'What was that Baba-san?"
"They came over and started talking shit. I thought they were going to jump us. So I defended." The teacher looked at the group of kids, then back at Ni~ya, "Get dressed and head to the principal's office." Letting Ni~ya go he shot glances at Hitsugi, Aki and Sakito, before heading to the other group of kids. Ni~ya shot a small smile at his friends, "I'll be fine, though Matsuide might not be."
"Baba-san, how dare you attack a student on the school's ground? That is against the rules as well as disrespect to your peers. Have you anything to say?" The rather grumpy principal asked. Ni~ya shifted in his chair, "I felt threatened by them and their actions. I thought that I and the others were in harm's way. I did what I thought was necessary. If you had heard what they called their fellow classmates and read their body langue, you would have acted the same."
Matsuide grunted next to Ni~ya, but it earned him a dirty look from the Principal. "Feeling threatened and 'reading' body langue may fly in Natori, but son this is Sendai, not some backwater high school." Matsuide stifled his laugh, only to shut up as a rather buff man walked in. "Odadate-sama, I'm Yuji's father." Ni~ya's body froze at the sound of his father's voice. Time seemed to slow, as he watched in horror his father take a seat next to him.
"Ah, Baba-sama. Nice to see you get here on such short notice. As you can see we are discussing the matter of your son's reaction to some unkind words." Ni~ya glanced at his father who was looking at Matsuide, "I think my son's action was justified. Looking at this student I can see the malicious intent he has to harm other students, with words and action." The Principal sat there with a look of disbelief.
"Baba-sama, please." The Principal said, "Takeshi please." Baba-sama butted in, "Takeshi-sama, you can't tell me that you think this student would harm others just by looking at him." Takeshi shifted, "look at his face, his mouth is in a scowl. He leans forward, aggressively. His legs are far apart, as if he is uncomfortable. He's on the attack right now, even though he is silent." Eyeing Matsuide, the Principal nodded, "Humm you do seem right. Yuji will only get a week of after school detentions, cleaning up his classrooms alone. Matsuide, you are to be suspended within the next twenty-four hours. You cannot be on school grounds for two weeks."
Ni~ya sighed softly, happy he only got detentions. But then he realized what his father was planning. He knew how his father worked; he'd get him out of the mess only to ream his "rebellious, shitty" son. Ni~ya was not perfect in his father's eyes. His eldest brother Hideaki was the shining star of the family. He could do no wrong, even if the police caught him red-handed.
Ni~ya never had the best relationship with his father, he was closer to his mother anyways. Maemi had a way with her second son, knowing her oldest was the scum bag of the two sons. Though she loved Yuji dearly, those feelings were hidden when Takeshi came home. So the only one in his family that really gave a true damn about him was his little sister Chiyo. Though she was still in eighth grade, she understood where he came from and always gave an ear to him to talk to.
"What you did at school was not tolerable Yuji! You could have been kicked out of school and then where would you go?" Takeshi said rather menacing to his son. Ni~ya never looked at his father as he took his seat on the couch. "Where YUJI, WHERE?" "I wouldn't be able to go anywhere father." Snorting Takeshi paced, "And using Shorinji Kempo on those boys. I did not teach you that for fighting! I taught you that for discipline! You are worthless!"
Ni~ya kept his head low, he could hear his mother in the kitchen, prepping dinner. Chiyo had just come home, her feet stepping lightly on the hard wood floors, trying not to get caught. "YOU BOY ARE GROUNDED!" Ni~ya sank lower in his seat. His father walked off, mumbling about how Ni~ya had been a mistake. Taking a deep breath, Ni~ya sulked off to his room, the phone ringing as he did.
"I'm sorry but Yuji has been grounded, I'm afraid he can't leave." Maemi said to the caller. It had either been Hitsugi or Yomi calling but Ni~ya didn't care, his life was over now. Entering his room he kicked at the pile of clothes that had grown in the past few days. Sulking on his bed he looked out his window and decided if he wanted to anger his father even more by not eating dinner. Knowing eating and not eating were bad ideas either way. "It's gonna be a long grounding period…" Ni~ya whispered to himself as he began to clean his room.
