Hikaru's POV
It was dark, but I could hear the crackling of several students. All of a sudden, the lights flashed on, blinding me. Blinking my eyes a few times to clear them of the spots in my vision, I look around and see three boys, laughing at my humiliation. I tried desperately to get up, but I couldn't. I had hurt my foot from when I was slammed into the lockers. Trying once more, I fell flat on face, pain shooting up from my injured leg. Malicious laughter rang through the empty basement. One of the boys, Minoru, decided to take this moment to kick me square in my ribs, causing a jolt of pain to burst in my chest. Gasping, I tried to block the hits but only managed to direct the damage to my arms. Soon, the other two decided to join in the game of "Torturing Hikaru."
"So, fag, did you have a good weekend? I'm sure you made good money going around and sucking people's cocks." He smirked maliciously.
"I did nothing of the sort. Although I'm sure you'd know. I saw you over at the Red Light District, dancing for commoners." I knew it wasn't the best thing to say at the moment, but the reaction I got was well worth what was to come. Minoru turned bright red, proving that my statement was in fact, correct. The other two cronies laughed at the other and sneered in disgust before turning and leaving the room, leaving me with the devil. Sighing to myself, I mentally prepared myself for what was to come.
"You!" He glared at me. "How dare you humiliate me like that?" Grabbing me by the hair, he rammed my head into the ground. I felt a trickle of blood run down my forehead and drip onto the floor. He grabbed my leg and flung me to the wall. Deciding he had caused enough damage, he left, locking me into the room alone. Thankfully, I still had my phone. Dialing the only contact in my phone that wasn't family, I put the phone to my ear.
"Hello?" I heard an eerie voice call after three rings.
"H-hey. Nekozawa, can you do me a f-favor?" My voice quivered.
"Anything." He dropped his creepy tone.
"Can you come get me from the basement, it's locked."
"Of course." He quickly hung up and not even five minutes later, a click resounded through the room and a hooded head and a cat puppet poked their heads through. Making haste, he supported me back to the Black Magic's club room. He set me on a stool and I let my eyes adjust to the dark. He grabbed a first aid and cleaned my wounds before gently wrapping them.
"Minoru again?" He asks softly. I just nodded. I wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone. I felt an arm snake around me.
"I just wish Kaoru was here!" I cried into his shirt as he held me. We were alone at the moment so he wasn't wearing his hood and wig.
"I know, I know. It will get better, trust me." He soothed. I knew I was supposed to keep my hopes up high, but I feel like everything is slipping by me. I knew deep down that I would never be able to have my brother as my one and only and the light in my eyes was slowly dimming. My sense of self was slipping and sometimes I just lie in my bed, thinking of all the different ways I could die and everyone who wouldn't give a shit. No one would even bother to come to my funeral, if they even had one.
"Come one, let's get you covered up. I really wish you would go to the nurse and get proper care but I understand why you won't" I didn't want my brother and family to be burdened with my problems, so I try to deal with it myself as much as I can. Neko applied the cover-up for me and sighed.
"Why don't we go to first period? There's still five minutes left until the bell, we can just take the time to relax." He put on his hood and wig, and we left, sticking to the shadows. When we reached English, we took the seats in the furthest back corner by the window.
The bell rang and everyone took their seats. A few minutes into class, a bang was heard outside our door and the door flew wide open. In came k\Kaoru and his friend Tamaki laughing.
"Boys, I do hope you know you're late?" The teacher scolded the two for a good few minutes before sending them to their seats. By this time, I was completely distracted. My thought were racing and throughout the whole class I was staring at my brother and thinking about how he was going to be the end of me. Literally.
