Chapter 1: Shots Fired

He couldn't stand it anymore. Day after day, morning and night, again and again. No matter how much he would tell that insufferable girl to leave him alone, she just wouldn't understand. Ironic considering she should be well versed in the meaning of various words. He would essentially tell her to die, say that she was worthless and an overall nuisance to the world. Yet she just wouldn't go the hell away. No matter what came flying out his mouth, no matter how hostile and ruthless it sounded, only everyone else but her would understand what he was saying. The other students who would over hear his frustrations towards that annoying wench could only sigh as they saw the girl not understand that the thing of her obsession absolutely hated her whole entire existence. That he would love to have her damned for all eternity.

So Togami came up with a plan to rid the infuriating bitch once and for all from his shadow. She would relish in his insults, surely getting off on it in some twisted manner he didn't want to understand. So if his words did nothing for the imbecile, then he needed to strike her somewhere else. If her brain was so warped to not understand that he wished the most painful death upon her, then threatening to steal everything away from her would be the next best course of action. If he threatened to take away everything that gave her wretched life meaning, then maybe she would finally learn that he didn't want to be anywhere near her. That he wanted her to be gone from his life because all she did was annoy him with her grand stupidity.

As such, the young heir came up with the brilliant plan to destroy her career. As he walked quickly to his classroom that early late autumn morning, he was planning out her demise. His footsteps were echoing in the large hallway as his mind raced with his strategy. He had never been the friendly type since he was always placing himself higher on the pedestal than anyone else. Considering all the things he did to get his title, he would say with pride he deserved it more than anyone else in the whole school. Yet he had never met anyone nearly as infuriating as that retched thing that became fixated on him for who knows why. Not once in his life had he meet someone he despised as much as her. He would much rather be stranded on an island with everyone else in his class than that thing that he couldn't get off of his heel.

At least some of the people in the class were tolerable. Sure some were more annoying than others, but it didn't mean all of them would be useless. Her though, he would much rather kill her in an extremely violent manner and become friends with a damn volleyball. Granted, he had no reason to be friends with a lifeless being nor kill a person because she aggravated him so much. Even so he would rather go insane with loneliness than be stuck with her as his only companion. Besides, she would be totally useless in a survival situation. Outside of being bait, he would have absolutely no use for her.

How Naegi could stomach to talk with her was beyond him. He understood that boy was kind to a fault, but even the kindness of people shouldn't be forced to deal with it. It is expected that generous people will be taken advantage of, but being around that girl was too cruel for any decent person. The brunette was one of the few people he could put up with, but when he saw him chatting with the maddening stalker he wanted to smack the boy back to his senses. To take him to the best psychiatrist that money could buy to see just what was wrong with him to want to be friends with such an exasperating person. At times it was nice for him to distract the certain, but he still just couldn't comprehend why any normal functioning human would want her around. How could he have a conversation with someone who had an obsession with a person she doesn't know? What else could she possibly talk about considering all he ever saw her doing was following him around? Books and writing perhaps, but he couldn't see her talking about anything else.

As he approached his class he saw the damnable thing entering the room slowly, her head lowered like some quivering animal afraid of being attacked by a wolf. She would always get there early just so she could stare at him with disturbingly lustful eyes as twisted fantasies swirled around her mind. His desire to be there promptly on time would be the cause for his head to receive many unwanted stares. It made reading anything feel immensely uncomfortable, and no matter how much he would tell her off, she just couldn't comprehend its meaning. How anyone could be so stupid yet so well versed in writing was beyond him.

After walking up to the door, he pushed up his glasses and with his usual pride swirling around his stomach, he slide it open. He was determined to do anything to get her away from him, and he would be damned if this doesn't work. As if on cue the monstrosity who was sitting in the middle of the third row turned her head over with a twisted delight. God did he hate her smile, everything about it just remained him how screwed up poor people could end up being if no one gave them the proper medical treatment.

He would normally eye daggers at her and insult her with whatever came to him at that moment and walk to his seat in the front of the classroom. After such words, he would pull out a book and wait for Naegi to do him a favor and distract the beast from staring at him the whole time. At least he didn't have to sit next to her. Instead, he walked straight up to the damn thing who looked like some deranged preteen at a concert who got up and close to her favorite pop idol. Dear lord was that just pathetic. Seeing someone his age acting like a crazed fan was just disturbing. How could someone so close to adulthood become an obsessive fan girl?

"B-Byakuya-sama! Wh-wh-what do you n-n-need from me?!" she stuttered with delight as her eyes perked up as if she was just handed a billion yen. The thing was playing with her greasy braids while looking at him with a deranged smile that he hated immensely. Not only was she annoying and lacked common sense, she didn't understand what personal hygiene meant.

"Listen good you foolish girl," he started off, his voice stern and eyes frozen with hate, "Time and time again I tell you to go far away. To leave me alone forever. To go stalk someone else who may enjoy it. To stop breathing and die a pathetic death befitting scum such as yourself."

As expected, she didn't seemed fazed by his words. She just looked happy at his insults, as if his words was what she associated with affection. That it meant he gave a shit about her existence, "Yet not once have you listened to me. I've tried being civil. I've tried being cruel. No matter what I do, you just don't understand what I mean. You don't even listen to Naegi, the only person who puts up with your absurdity, to just stay with him and leave me alone for the rest of our years here. As such, I've decided to give you once last chance."

"Wh-what do you mean B- Byakuya-sama?" she asked, obviously confused by what he was saying. Her eyes were shaking from the uncertainty in her future stalking and obsessing practices. No that he was surprised, she never seemed to be able to understand anything he would say. Everything he said was clear and easy to comprehend, yet she somehow just never understood it. Even Owada could grasp his complaints he directed at the girl, and he is an utter idiot when it came to doing anything school realted.

"Simply put, I will absolutely destroy your career if this keeps up," and there was the first time he saw a normal reaction from the insufferable thing. Her face lost its color slightly, her still shaking eyes widening in surprise. Now she didn't expect this sort of declaration, and he couldn't help but enjoy the dread building up in her body. It was nice to have some revenge.

"I will make sure that no publisher will ever release any of your books. No matter how good it may be, no matter how much money it could make, it will not see a life on any bookshelves. And mark my words, if they even try to publish it, my family will go after them. As you should understand, the Togami family has some form of control in almost everything that goes on in this country. We could easily destroy a whole entire company from the inside and transform it into something we would prefer. We could also threaten any company that may take actions we don't approve of, or we could even bribe them. So for someone such as myself, it would be no trouble at all to ruin everything single thing you have worked for."

There was complete silence after that. She didn't speak a single word in protest. All she could do was stare at him, her whole body shaking as she allowed those words to sink into her skin and flow into her blood. Despite her idiocy, the girl knew what his words truly meant. Perhaps she had deluded herself into thinking that his words of insult where words of kindness because of some sort of issue in her psyche? Whatever the cause, it was of no concern to him. He had no reason to care about her problems when she was a problem in his life. He said what he needed, and if it works, then all will be good.

While he continued to look down at the girl, his eyes didn't lighten up and the words continued to flow like an icy breeze, "So these are your options. You can continue to harass me, and then me and my family will go straight up to your editor, publisher, and anyone else involved with your writing. We'll make it extremely clear to them that if they continue to work with you, my family will do whatever it can do screw them over. If it means having them lose sponsors, having writers move to a different publisher, you name it, the Togami family can do it. Perhaps we'll even give them a generous donation to convince them they have no use for you and whatever nonsense you decide to spew out on paper. Then if you try to go anywhere else, my family will do the same thing, risen and repeat."

She yet again said nothing. She just stared at him, the shock evident on her face. It was as if she had no idea how to respond to such a threat. That she couldn't decide what was more important at that moment, her obsession or her career. Not that it mattered to him really, because in the end he'll either be rid of the nuisance or he'll destroy everything she had worked for. He'll either be free of her, or she could follow him around as he relished in her vocation crumbling all thanks to his family's ties.

"I see you are unable to respond," he continued with a victory smirk, "Then I hope you understand the situation. Truly, you can only blame yourself for this. If you used that brain from the start and understood that I wanted you gone, you wouldn't be in this situation. I guess some people are just far too foolish to understand their own language when they are blinded by delusions."

With those final words, he turned his back towards the girl and walked back to his seat. When he sat down he couldn't help but smile widely. He had finally put that retched girl in her place. What another wonderful thing about being a Togami, he could threaten people to do as he pleased with a simple threat. His family had ties with almost everything in Japan, so they could easily get an audience with the head of a company and make them crumble under his family's power. It could take months, or just days depending on who they were dealing with. A publishing company couldn't be too much trouble to deal with. Why he didn't think of this plan in the first place is beyond him. He could have been done with her months ago if he put more thought into it. Alas, at least he can be given his much needed rest away from that thing. He couldn't remember the last time he could constantly walk around and not end up with someone following him around like some stray puppy.

"There are many things wrong with that girl, but even someone like her can't be foolish enough to toss away everything she has worked for. No one in their right mind would allow themselves to destroy their future over a person they don't even know. This should be enough to keep her away from me," he thought with a sense of glory. Soon enough he would have some much needed peace. Without much of a care about the person behind him, he pulled a book out of his desk and starting to read. It was truly wonderful to be able to read and not feel someone staring at you.


As the students started to pull into the room, the volume just continued to grow. Their footsteps echoing off the flooring and slamming against the walls. Their carefree voices pirouetting off of each other, and meshing together like a colleague of a typical school life. The very things that went on every day at the academy. All the while the wind blew against the windows, shaking them lightly as the trees swayed and brown leaves danced.

Yet the noise in Fukawa's mind was louder then all of that combined. Everything they were saying and doing was drowned out by her mind. The words Togami left her with were buzzing all around her like gigantic insects. No matter how hard she tried to focus on something else, anything else, she couldn't stop hearing it. She just heard it repeat, again and again. That he would destroy the only thing she put her soul into. She couldn't stop seeing the characters for destroy. They were flashing inside of her mind, covered in a red shade. They were so intense she could have sworn they were trying to give her a seizure. That couldn't kill her, right?

She was blind and deaf to the world around her. She was caught up in an illusion engulfing her body and mind all the while destroying her. All she could see were those damn characters dyed a crimson red. She couldn't tell she was shaking in her seat, nor how her eyes where widen with fright. All she could see was the blackened world collapsing onto her and destroying the only thing that had ever gave her worth. The only thing that allowed her to believe that her life was worth something. The only thing that kept her from truly delving into the madness that was twirling inside her own mind.

It was there, amongst people who had no idea of her problems, that the loose folds of her mind started to unravel. It was there were Fukawa couldn't stop thinking that she'll be destroyed by those foreboding words. That if she couldn't write nor be allowed to follow the one person who treated her like the shit she is, what was the point of her existence?


So that's that. This is the shortest chapter for a story I've written in a long time. No guarantee it'll stay like that since I tend to get wordy with events and descriptions. I hope I wrote Togami alright. I don't like him as it is, but I didn't want to make him seem villainously mean or randomly kind for no reason. Oh how I have trouble with the usually jerkish characters. Any who, I hope you enjoyed the first chapter. Of course please review so you can tell me what you thought of it!
