The affable breeze blew gently while the fallen leaves danced gracefully with the rhythm of the wind. Butterflies went from flower to flower, helping the picturesque plants reach the perfection of beauty. The heat was bearable and gentle to the few who had the unfortunate task of walking. Strangers enjoyed the placid solitude as their only company. A faint smile could be seen from the faces of each walking by but, then again, it is not my business to regard these people. I am but a mere writer expressing my own thoughts and views.
The youth of today are headstrong, stubborn, and quite nosy. They are impulsive, innocent and inconsiderate. Maybe because of what their elders, or worse, what the world has taught them. I am no exception to these characteristics, please rest assured. I merely speak of what I have observed so far in dealing with different kinds of people.
A young man not older than maybe fifteen or sixteen, walked down the streets with an air of complacent audacity. He brushed back the dark wild spiky bush atop his head. He stuffed his hands in his pocket and walked on carelessly. Another person behind him followed, he was shorter than the spike-haired boy. One thing out of place with this other boy is that he has an eye-patch covering his right eye. He smiled at the taller boy with an indescribable glee at the same time sadness playing in his visible eye.
"Ikki-kun, are you sure it's all right to leave Ringo behind?" The smaller boy asked latching himself on the arm of the spike-haired boy. The other didn't answer, his eyes concentrated on the cracked pavement beneath his feet. The eye-patched lad cocked his head to the side curiously and looked at his comrade confused.
He wondered quietly what caused the silent reverie of his companion. His brows connected while his lower lip pouted. He opened his mouth for questioning but was quickly stopped. The spike-haired boy doubled over and clutched his stomach, his hair covering his face.
"Ikki-kun!! Are you okay?" The boy asked hurrying to Ikki's side. Unexpectedly a low grumble escaped the tall boy's stomach.
"I'm hungry!!" Ikki suddenly exclaimed regaining his composure. He shouted a few incoherent curses and stomped his feet on the ground heavily--whining like a child. "Damn that Rika for not letting me eat!"
The smaller boy blinked in amazement then switched his eye-patch to the left.
"You damn crow!" The smaller boy suddenly exploded. He punched Ikki on the head creating a small yet visible bump.
"Ouch! What the hell did you do that for?!" Ikki yelled at the eye-patched boy.
"For being stupid you f----- crow!" He cursed.
"Wait, what happened to Akito?" Ikki changed the subject. This seemed to calm the irate boy.
"I told him to let me out." He answered nonchalantly and then crossed his arms.
"Geez Agito, cut him a bit of slack." Ikki said after a few intervals of staring out into space.
"Shut it." Agito snarled and walked ahead. Ikki sighed heavily then stood up. He brushed of the dirt from his pants and hurried towards Agito.
"Hey, hey, you're a in a much lighter mood than usual." Ikki's sarcastic grin came into view, to the dismay of Agito.
"I told you to shut up."
"Aww, come on Sharky. Lighten up!"
"If you want to annoy somebody try that girl." Agito pointed to a random person not knowing if the person he pointed too was really a female. Ikki though, quickly looked at the direction, a goofy smile appearing on his face.
"You're pointing to an old man." Ikki said disappointedly afterwards, his face turning pale with disgust. His fantasy quickly shattered to tiny pieces.
"The hell do I care? Just bug somebody else!" Agito shouted. He quickened his pace trying to rid of the annoying 'crow'. The growl in his throat never left. His eye focused only on the road he walked on.
Upon reaching the school grounds, Agito slowed his walk seeming that the 'stupid crow' (as he called Ikki) was off of his back. He ignored the calls of the girls and only regarded three men who greeted him (though with an annoyed expression). The one leading the three wore a hat atop his head while the other two were very plump and 'healthy' (to put it lightly). The first boy grinned at the smaller and waved at him.
"Hey Agito, you're a bit early today. Where's Ikki?" He asked Agito while searching for any sign of the 'stupid one'.
"F--- off." was his irritated answer.
"Well you're much more annoyed than usual." The second man pointed.
"Buchaa's right, did Ikki piss you off again?" The boy with the hat asked not much worried. Agito didn't bother to reply. He brushed off the three men and moved towards the building, his mien unreadable.
"What's with him?" The shorter and perverted looking boy asked his two friends. Both of them shrugged and shook their heads.

The noon sky gave a benignant atmosphere to the whole school. Students chatted and laughed with each other, telling silly and nonsensical jokes. A few gales would erupt now and then but would eventually die down. A whisper or two could be heard, as what is natural to teenagers.
Agito laid on the roof asleep. His left hand acted as a pillow while the other was placed lazily on his stomach. He half opened his eye, first seeing the white, puffy clouds floating above him. He stretched his arms and yawned, to completely wake his muscles, then switched the eye-patch to his right eye.
"Agito-kun, are you all right?" His sweeter voice asked.
'I'm just fine Akito' Was Agito's gruff answer.
Akito nodded his head, afraid to pry any longer seeming that Agito had already been petulant in almost everything and everyone. The sweet lad smiled at the clouds and hopped off their resting place. He descended the steep stairs of the roof and went to the busy classrooms of the school.
Akito walked through the hallways with his usual happy smile. He searched classroom by classroom on where Ikki could be. A few unknown schoolmates of his, mostly female, greeted him while he was on his search. He smiled back politely, not wanting to impose anything on them and then moved on.
He was deep in thought and didn't notice another person deep in thought as he is, heading his way. They both collided with each other falling on their behind and each groaning from the impact they have received.
"Ouch..." Akito muttered while rubbing his back, then felt a damp feeling on his shirt. He quickly stood up upon seeing a cup of spilled coffee staining his clothing.
"Ah! I-I-I'm so sorry!" The culprit said with a shaky voice.
Akito looked up to see a girl worriedly biting her lower lip and fretting over the mess that she had made. He was taken aback when the girl took out a white handkerchief and started wiping his uniform on a fruitless labor that it would turn dry and clean.
"You don't have to do that." Akito hurriedly said, waving his hands. The girl looked up at him and bowed her head worriedly.
'Wait? She looked up?' Akito thought surprised. In the course of his stay in this school almost all of the girls towered over him, it was his first time to see someone that was actually smaller than him in his own age group—or at least he think she's in his age group. He observed the height of the girl once more. Yes, he was definitely taller than her. Quite unusual.
"I'm really sorry about this." She said in a hushed voice. She didn't dare look up, too embarrassed by her own carelessness.
"It's okay, don't worry about it." Akito said with a cheerful smile. It wasn't enough to lighten the girl's mood, though.
"I'm very sorry." She apologized again.
"I told you it's all right, besides I have a change of clothes." Akito sighed, a bit irritated from her endless apology. She brightened a little but then her face dropped again.
"I'm sorry, really. I can wash your clothes for you. That stain won't come off easily." She said looking up again towards him. Akito blinked, uncertain of what to say. He took a step backwards from the determined look of the girl.
"E-eh? You don't have to do that!" Akito exclaimed stuttering. He tried to think of an excuse but none would save him. He was too flustered to think with this girl looking at him hopefully.
"Please!" The girl pleaded taking a step forward.
They stood for a few more moments, Akito looking confused and distraught and the girl determined and apologetic. The cheerful boy sighed defeated. He quietly nodded his head in agreement to the girl's wishes. She instantaneously smiled at him then bowed her head for another 'sorry'.
"Akito?" The said person turned around to see his sought out person.
"Ikki-kun!" Akito exclaimed and instantaneously hugged the boy's arm but quickly stopped when he remembered the stain on his uniform.
"What the hell happened to you?" Ikki asked a brow raised, examining the wet shirt.
"Ikki-kun, do you have a change of clothes?" Akito asked cutely but Ikki's attention wasn't on him anymore but to the girl that he had bumped into.
"Ah, you're a cute girl!" Ikki exclaimed, making the girl blush. She hid her face from the perverted leader of Kogarasumaru but he, on the other hand, kept on persisting to see her face. He stooped down and raised her long skirt. She quickly retreated from the perverted action and blushed a shade darker.
"Ikki-kun..." Akito sweat-dropped.
"You're uniform's too big for you!" Ikki's perverted comments reached everyone's ears earning him an audience. A shake of disapproval and disgust was an action seen from a few people while some laughed.
Akito blinked again, he didn't notice before. Her uniform was too big for her. 'I wonder why she wears clothes like that.'
Fortunately for the girl, the boy with the cap arrived to stop the crow's charade. He shouted at the spike-haired boy then hit him hard on the head. A few cursing and cussing came next with a bit of punching and shouting.
"What the hell was that for Kazu?!" Ikki shouted rubbing the same spot Agito punched earlier.
"The girl's blushing like mad you idiot!" He pointed to the embarrassed girl. She bowed her head lower avoiding the two men's gaze. Kazu looked at her in the corner of his eye before punching Ikki's head again. He dragged the spike-haired boy off the opposite direction, holding him by the collar.
Akito approached the girl and took her hand. She looked up at the naive boy curiously, her face still red.
"You were going to wash my clothes right?" He said skipping while the hold on the girl still firm. She followed the boy without any protests. She stumbled a few times because of the unnecessary skidding and hopping.

"I'm very sorry for the trouble." The girl bowed again, the stained clothes folded neatly in her arms. The eye-patched boy smiled warily at her and waved his hands in-front of his face. He sighed when she didn't even bother look at him.
She looked up at Akito then smiled, "I'll give it back to you tomorrow. I promise." She bowed then quickly left.
Akito scratched the back of his head and stared at the path the girl took. He looked out of the window and saw the sky turn gray. "It looks like its going to rain, Agito-kun."
'Whatever.' Was the morose reply of the Fang King. Akito only sighed again. He was doing that a lot today, wasn't he? He chuckled at the last thought. How silly can he be? Akito smiled brightly.
'That was a very strange girl, huh?' Akito said making idle conversation to his alter ego.
'Annoying is the right word.' Agito replied roughly. Akito could only smile nervously, he didn't want to call the girl names, besides, she was going to wash his clothes.
'Why'd you agree to let the clutz wash our uniform?' Agito asked emphasizing the word 'our'.
'To tell the truth, I really don't know.' Was Akito's mental reply. The Fang king snorted but didn't utter another reply.

The next day, Akito woke up to the translucent rays of the morning sun. He stretched his arms and rubbed the sleep off his eye. He slugged off his futon dragging his feet towards the dining room. No one was around. He trudged on to the living room, empty again.
Akito was fully awake now. Usually around this time someone would be up and about. He glanced at the clock. His mouth formed a silent 'Oh'.
"It's still early." He whispered to himself. But usually the sun would be a lot less bright. He shrugged off the thought and walked back towards his room.
An idea formed in his head. Since he was awake there's no point in going back to bed now, is there?
He carefully crept inside Ikki's room and searched for the spike-haired boy. Akito found him lying peacefully in his own futon snoring a bit audibly. He silently laid himself beside the sleeping crow. Akito feigned sleep knowing Ikki will wake in...
'5...4...3...2...1…'
Ikki's scream filled the whole house waking all of the sleeping inhabitants. His breath became ragged while his face pale and thin.
"What the hell are you doing in my bed!" Ikki shouted jumping off to a distance from the eye-patched lad. Akito rubbed his eye, faking to have just woken up.
"Ikki-kun, you're too loud." He answered hiding the mischievous smile from the Sky king. He cuddled in Ikki's bed irking the crow to another extent.
"Get out of there you!" Ikki pulled Akito off of his bed and glared menacingly at the smaller boy. The mischievous boy grinned then quickly stood up and ran out of the room, laughing childishly at the taller boy's reaction.
"Damn you!" Ikki's voice reached the happy culprit's ears.
