Please read and remember to review!
Chapter 1
World's crashing down so why am I not dead?
She opened the main gate of her house and walked over to the front door. Lifting her right hand she knocked thrice before her mother's voice replied back "wait up I'm coming".
"Where's dad?" asked Miyu Kouzuki.
"Afternoon shift" sighing in an exhausting manner her mother going back to her daily routine of house cleaning. Miyu walked off to her room throwing her school bag on the table and fell onto her bed staring up at the ceiling. She knew what that sigh meant and she was already starting to dread the evening. Her father was usually a very nice and humble person when he was sober but he had has a tendency to turn very nasty when he was drunk. She didn't know what to expect when he'll be home which gave her a queasy feeling. She hurled herself off her bed and went to shower and change out of her school clothes.
"So dad's not home yet" asked Ruu her five years younger brother. She shook her head in no and went back to her book; she was reading the final instalment of harry potter series for probably the zillionth time. Done with the school homework she had nothing else to do and was getting bored when her phone buzzed.
'Can you come to my house like right now' read the text from her best friend Akira. Thinking hard for a moment what might happen if she was gone for long and her father got home meanwhile completely plastered, there'll be questions about what was she doing out so late in night, what was so important that couldn't wait for morning…she decided it was better to stay at home and avoid any unnecessary questions from her drunk father. Also she didn't want to be the reason for any further arguments between her parents which were nearly always a certainty whenever he came home drunk. 'Can't… sorry. See you at school tomorrow' she replied and went back to her book.
She woke up in the middle of the night and looked over to where her brother slept. He was sleeping peacefully all thanks to his habit of using ear plugs at night. She got up and sat with her back leaning on the wall and her right hand resting on the windowsill with her head resting in the palm of her hand staring up at the night sky full of stars and a bright almost full moon .
"I keep telling you not to drink so much. It's not good for health. Besides we don't even have enough money…we barely meet our needs. You know how it's like during the last week of every month. We've two kids to take care of then there's their education expenses, if we are not careful now then we'll be in trouble later" her mother sounded hysterical.
She'll probably start crying within a minute thought Miyu.
"Are you suggesting that I am not capable of looking after my kids? Do you mean that I am negligent about their needs? I know what I'm doing alright. Don't talk when you know nothing about things okay. I keep telling you that you should stop worrying about not having enough money. I have told you so many times before that we have enough to educate our children and live our lives comfortably" shouted her father. Her mother snorted.
Miyu agreed with her father about the fact that they did manage every month and shortage of money was rare. She sighed as her parents continued to have their regular argument and she knew she wouldn't be able to go back to sleep now. She looked over to her alarm clock. It was almost 2:00 in the morning and she was as awake as an owl. Angry tears filled her eyes and she brushed them off dismissing the thoughts that were meaner than usual.
I wish they would stop arguing just for a day.
I wish they never talked again at least then we will enjoy some silence in our lives.
I wish they would just get a divorce because what's the point in being in an unhappy marriage where her father didn't respect her mother and her mom was too stupid or naïve to walk out on them.
I wish they would go away so that I can have just one day of complete peace.
She sighed again and went back to lying staring up at the sky watching the stars. Somehow those twinkling lights lulled her back into a fitful sleep where she dreamed about chasing her parents through a forest shouting something. Then she transformed into a queen and ordered her parent to lead separate lives. Her alarm went off at 4:00 AM and her eyes flew open. She looked outside the window. The sky was just less dark than it had been when she had woken up to her parents having a shouting match in the dead of the night. She went off to the kitchen and started preparing for breakfast knowing very well that her parents won't talk for at least two days and their tempers will expend on their innocent children. Once they went on to ignore each other for a whole week. As she prepared for the breakfast she realised that she had only one lunch to prepare for as her brother who was still in elementary school had his day off and her father always ate at his office cafeteria. She went off to shower and get ready for school.
When she walked into the dining room as expected her brother was still sleeping and her parents were ignoring each other like usual. The environment at the table was thicker than ice and she found it really hard to eat anything as she tried feebly to eat just for the sake of doing something.
"Dad, I didn't prepare your lunch, I thought you'll be eating at your office"
"It's alright, I don't have any work today and besides it's not your job to cook meals" her father looked up from his morning paper long enough to give her mother a scathing look.
"Mum I've taken care of the laundry, just switch the machine off in time"
Her mother nodded in her direction and looked at her father with so much anger that she could visualise the vibes. As her mother opened her mouth to retort something happened to Miyu that had never happened before.
Anger welled inside her abruptly and she stood up with such force that her chair fell off and her parents looked up at her in surprise.
"I WISH YOU GUYS WOULD JUST STOP DOING THIS EVERY MORNING. WHY CAN'T YOU STOP ARGUING JUST FOR A SECOND? WHY DO YOU HAVE TO ALWAYS MAKE SNIDE REMARKS ABOUT EACH OTHER? WHY DID YOU EVEN MARRY? WHY CAN'T YOU STOP JUST FOR A SECOND? DO YOU KNOW HOW IT FEELS LIKE TO WATCH YOU GUYS FIGHT LIKE THIS EVERYDAY? I WISH YOU WOULD GET A DIVORCE. I WISH I WAS NEVER BORN"
Complete silence followed her outburst and she tried to push back the angry tears that were threatening to fall down her face. She pushed her untouched food aside and picked her school bag. Her parents were still recuperating from her sudden outburst when she looked at them through angry tears "I hate you, I really hate you guys" and stifling a moan she marched out of the house banging the door shut in her wake.
She walked so fast that she was almost running as she made her way to her favourite place, a small clearing in the middle of the woods near her school. She walked over to the lonely stone which was big enough for her to sit on. She threw her school bag aside and looked over the lonely small lake. Lonely and ignored just like her it had a melancholic beauty to it which tore at her heart. As she sat there watching the green grass and the water reflecting the clear blue sky overhead somehow she found her heart grow lighter. She sat there watching the birds swim for ages and when she felt like it stood up to wash her face. When she turned around she thought she noticed something or someone at the far end concealed among the trees and shrubs. Thinking about wild animals she increased her pace and walked over to her school. Despite of sitting at the lake for what seemed like hours she was in time for school and walked over to her seat at the back in the corner near the window. Akira turned around to wave at her. She vaguely noticed her home room teacher walk in and take attendance as usual. She was staring at her scrapbook and the words she had written the day before
'Am I invisible? Why does nobody notice me?
I put on a smile just to fit in but it hurts to fake everything
I wish I could find you, I wish you would see
That I'm dying inside waiting for you to come and change how I feel'
"So class, today we have a new student, let us all welcome him" Ms. Mizuno said and the whole class erupted into some frenzy as somebody walked into the room while Miyu was still trying to look around her mind searching for the right set of words to write down next when from far away she heard her name and whole class went silent. She looked up to see that everyone was staring at her as a very tall guy walked over to her and sat down in the empty seat next to her. She looked around to find herself face to face with a boy who was probably the most gorgeous looking guy she had ever seen but he also had some sort of dark aura to him. His clothes were all crumpled and the edge of his shirt was poking out of his pants and he had pierced his ears. He was wearing black coloured round earrings, bracelets and a locket around his neck. She also saw some tattoos peeking out from beneath his vest as he turned around to face her.
Well that is some strange expression she thought as he gave her an extremely calculated, cold look. He looked at her desk and then again at her face as if searching for something. Satisfied with whatever he saw there he turned back to look at their teacher who gave him an encouraging smile and went about with the lesson.
Miyu frowned at him and went back to thinking about more lines to write down. Nobody said a word for the whole lesson and when the bell rang everybody got busy preparing for the next class when she heard a low sexy growl coming from her new neighbour. She looked around to see that he was sleeping actually sleeping and that almost made her smile. The door opened and their next teacher walked into the class as she poked him in the arm as a warning. He merely turned his head to face other way and went back to sleeping again.
On your head be it then she thought and took out her maths textbook.
"Good morning class now we covered the relationship between radian and degree yesterday now today let us start trigonometric functions. Now who can tell me the relation between sine of theta and cosine of theta?
No one, okay well I was told that there's a new student in the class let's see…" and he looked around to search for the unfamiliar face among the swarm of familiar ones while everyone else turned their heads in unison. Soon enough their teacher found him and realised just like the rest of the class that the new boy was peacefully asleep with his arms covering most of his face. Feeling insulted their teacher cleared his throat so loudly that most of the students jumped in their seats.
"Mr. Saionji, this is highly disrespectful beha…." when he noticed that the boy didn't even stir, he raised his voice slightly.
"Mr. Kanata Saionji"
Miyu poked him again in the arm and this time Kanata did raise his head to find everyone staring at him like if he was some interesting specimen kept in displat at some museum and probably wondering about his audacity to fall asleep on his very first day.
"What" he asked in an irritated voice. Miyu jerked her head in the teachers' direction and he looked around to see that the slightly bald and slightly round and a stout figure was glaring at him from behind his glasses.
"I must assume that you know everything about trigonometry going by your behaviour" said the teacher clearly in a humiliating tone. He was perhaps under impression like the rest of the class that this new boy was a delinquent who wouldn't ever bother opening his textbook.
"Sir…" Kanata tried to sound innocent but Miyu could easily detect the underlying sarcasm and looked over to him wondering what he was going to do now.
"Well you see I asked a question and I was wondering if you could kindly bestow upon us all your knowledge of trigonometry and give the relation between sine of theta and cosine of theta" he appeared to be extremely pleased for something as insignificant as asking a question.
Kanata stared at him for a whole minute as if contemplating weather to walk out of class or to say whatever that was on his mind. Perhaps he had decided to follow the latter option because he took a deep breath and opened his mouth.
"The sum of the square of sine theta and square of cosine theta is one. Also both have range and domain from minus of one to plus of one. Sine theta is an odd function whereas cosine theta is an even function. I could go on and on but I think I have already answered your question…sir"
One whole minute of stunned silence followed in which few looked scared but most of the class seemed to be relishing the moment. Finally here was someone who didn't take crap from teachers somebody with enough guts to stand up for themselves. Miyu could tell that he was going to be hugely popular judging from the revering looks from guys and flirting eyelashes from girls, she heaved a huge sigh and turned back to her own book and thought so many empty seats and this rebel had to come and sit next to her.
Bell rang and the teacher stomped out of class giving them way too many questions for homework than it was necessary. Now everybody had to pay for his cheek she thought.
"I want you to show me around" it sounded like an order. She turned to find him staring at her with such intensity as if she had been the one trying to humiliate him. She frowned and looked away from him.
"I said I want you to show me around"
"I don't take orders from strangers" she replied without raising her head. She was peering over her scrap book when it closed and she was staring at an immensely angry face.
"Give it back" she said extending her hand.
"I want you to show me around school didn't you hear me" he said rising up to his full height. Everyone else looked around to find the source of commotion.
"Go ask the class president and give that here" she rose to her feet too glaring at him.
"You are class president are you not?"
"Yes for girls, are you a girl?"
"Your homeroom teacher asked you to show me around"
"OUR homeroom teacher and GIVE THAT HERE" she practically shouted and tried to pry her book from his fingers. But he simply raised his hand up beyond her reach.
"Show me around NOW and I'll give it back"
"NO" and she climbed on her chair to reach for her book. He took a step back just in time but sadly she slipped off her chair and fell face first onto the floor. She stood up and glared at him with such intense hatred that it was a miracle he didn't burn down to ashes that very moment instead he simply shrugged his shoulders turning around and walked out of class with her scrapbook still clutched in his right hand.
She cursed and shouted abuse to his retreating back. After several minutes of trying to calm down as she was suddenly overcome with an urge to kill she followed him out when she was sure that her anger had staved off a little. She found him standing with his back leaning on the wall hands and legs crossed as if he was anywhere but in a school. Glaring again she took off and he followed. "Staff room…Sports room...labs…library…medical room…auditorium...music room…store room…cafeteria…and that is the playground" she felt like she was reading items off a grocery list.
They were on the terrace looking down to the courts. She turned around to face him and extended her hand for her scrapbook again. He walked over and handed it back quietly. She turned around and left without a word or a backward glance straight back to her class still raging inside.
"You're back so soon. I thought you would take your time to extend it for as long as it was possible with a gorgeous eye candy like that I would have done anything to show him around you know" exclaimed her pathetically over romantic best friend Akira. Miyu glared at her in anger.
"You know what actually he isn't that good looking now I think of it. Definitely a jerk from the way he forced you. He's really ugly" she said with such earnest conviction that made Miyu almost smile and she went back to her seat. To her relief Kanata didn't turn again for the rest of the day which suited her best. It was time to go home and she was packing her bag while checking that all the seats were in order when the door opened and the world's biggest jerk entered the room.
"Miyu how are you?"
"I'm fine, what do you need Tora?"
"Now don't sound so cold aren't you glad to see me?"
"I've already told you before I'm not interested why can't you leave me alone?" she was pissed and just wanted to go home
"Now listen here Miyu I like you and that is solely why I tolerate your behaviour let me assure you that I know of ways to get what I want alright" he threatened her. She looked a bit scared. After all he was an extremely rich guy and not to forget an excellent martial arts champion whereas she didn't even know the basics of self defence. She looked around at the closed gate which suddenly burst open and in came the last person she had expected. Kanata walked in with his hands in his pockets looking like he was strolling in a garden and walked over to them. He quietly picked his bag and walked back. Not wanting to be left alone with Tora Toudou she opened her mouth to say something anything.
"Don't you want to go home prez or are you planning to spend rest of the night cleaning this room?" he looked over his shoulder and Miyu quickly followed him out without stopping to look at either of them who unbeknown to her were having some sort of staring match.
God what a day she thought as she increased her pace in order to get to her house not knowing that she was walking towards the worst experience of her life.
Upcoming next:
When she walked into her house she immediately knew that something was amiss because the room looked like it had been searched with next to no attempt of subtlety. Everything was in chaos the table upturned, sofa stabbed with cruelty and clothes lying on the floor. She called for her mother and when there was no answering call cold fear gripped at her heart. She looked around once more realising she didn't have enough courage to walk further in so she walked out of the house instead and called the police immediately.
