The Part of me That Isn't Human is About to go Wild

Chapter 2: Provoke

Minato stared at the fan on the ceiling. It spun around and around. His arms felt heavy as he sat on the couch in the lounge of the dormitory that he lived in. That all his teammates lived in. There was a discussion taking place between Mitsuru and Akihiko the two oldest members of the group. Mitsuru had inform them that the hospital that the Kirijo group owned would be able to fabricate a story explaining their fallen teammates demise. But Minato wasn't really paying attention to the conversation. He was staring at the fan as it circled over and over again creating a cool breeze in the room. It was also helping to dry the blood on his clothing. The blood that came from Yukari's body. He had carried her all the way back to the dorm and now his muscles were paying for it.

"Arisato-kun." He heard Mitsuru call and he waited for a few seconds finally looking away from the fan toward Mitsuru. It was apparent that it wasn't the first time that she called his name.

"Are you alright? You're not injure right?" She asked with concern both in her tone of voice and the expression she had on her elegant face.

"Nothing too serious." Minato answered focusing back on the fan. He didn't want to see the sad looks on his comrades faces.

"If you're not injury you need to go with Aegis to take care of your blood stain clothing. We can't leave any evidence here." Mitsuru explained and after a few seconds Minato nodded his head in understanding.

"We should probably clean the couch too." Fuuka said softly as Minato slowly stood to his feet.

"I will make the call to my group while I do that I want Yamagishi and Iori to take care of the cleaning. Aegis will take care of Arisato." Mitsuru explained and Minato looked at Aegis who stared back at him with a gentle smile on her face.

They walked to the boys restroom. Minato flipped on the light switch as the two of them walked into the restroom. He started to walk past the mirrors, but he froze as he stared at himself. His white dress shirt was stained red. His hands were stained red. He felt both sadness and disgust at the same time. He looked away from the mirror finally unable to take it anymore.

"Please undress and hand me your ruin clothing. I will dispose of them while you take a shower and clean yourself. I will return with a clean set of your clothing." Aegis explained her robotic voice the only sound in the restroom. Minato sighed and started to take off his dress coat.

"I am sorry, Minato-kun." Aegis said softly as Minato took off his tie.

"If only I was stronger. I could have prevented Yukari's death." Aegis explained sadness in her robotic voice. Minato chose not to respond as he couldn't really find the words to comfort his android friend. This wasn't the first time they lost a teammate. Instead he stood their silently unbuttoning his dress shirt.

"I noticed." Aegis said softly as Minato threw his dress shirt on the floor.

"That Yukari was very much in love with you." Aegis said and Minato let out a sigh as he took off his undershirt.

"And I believe that is why she gave her life to protect you." Aegis continued as Minato kicked off his shoes.

"And I also know that you loved her too." Aegis said and Minato let out another sigh as he looked at the mirror to see the confused expression on her face.

"But I don't understand, Minato." Aegis said her tone of voice growing desperate.

"Why does it hurt more to see the agony on your face compared to thought of Yukari's death?" Aegis asked and Minato looked away from the mirror struggling to keep his composure.

"How should I know, Aegis?" Minato responded after a few moments of silence.

"I don't know. This night just can' be real." Minato said shaking his head.

"I feel like I will just open up my eyes and I'll be in my bed and this nightmare will be over." Minato said desperation in his voice.

"But it won't. Because Yukari is dead." Minato said desperately trying to hold back the tears that wanted to flow out.

"And you know I really don't give a fuck about your attempt at understanding human emotion right now, because Yukari is dead and that is all I can think about right now." Minato explained and he heard Aegis shift uncomfortably behind him.

"I am sorry." Aegis said and Minato flinched knowing that he was in the wrong.

"I still need your pants." Aegis said after a few moments of silence.

"Yukari, will you please just listen to me?" Minato begged though her door.

"Let me explain what really happen." Minato said as he knocked on her door again. Yukari slowly opened the door. She had her hands on her hips. There was an angry expression on her face, but Minato could see the sadness in her eyes.

"But you did kiss her, Minato." Yukari said as a matter of fact.

"But it wasn't by choice." Minato said and Yukari shook her head no.

"It was too long. I could tell you enjoyed it." Yukari said tears filling up her eyes.

"It's just a misunderstanding, Yukari!" Minato said and Yukari shook her head no.

"I thought she was just a friend, Minato." Yukari said wiping her eyes.

"She is!" Minato shouted desperate. Yukari shook her head no again and pulled out her phone. She pushed a few buttons before she show the picture to Minato. It was him and their Senpai embracing in a kiss. Minato was stunned to see that.

"So not just yesterday, but also today." Yukari said and a look of shame crossed Minato's face.

"You know I really did trust you. I had so much trust in you, but look what you did!" Yukari shouted as she pointed to the picture again.

"I'm so in love with you, but it wasn't enough, was it?" Yukari asked crying and Minato couldn't find the right words to say to her.

"You broke my heart. Crushed it into a thousand little pieces." Yukari said collapsing to her knees covering her face with her hands as she cried.

"I'm sorry." Minato said as he bent to try and comfort her.

"Get away from me!" Yukari shouted and Minato surprised fell on his back side. Yukari turned away from crawling into her room she closed the door shut.

The alarm ringed on his nightstand. A loud ringing sound rang in his room. Minato turned in his bed and shut it off. He didn't get a wink of sleep and it was time for him to get up and get ready to go to school. But Minato pondered for a moment what was really the point of going to school. But he remember he had to put up an act because the rest of the world wouldn't know about Yukari's death until later today. Minato reached over to his alarm clock and hit it off. He slowly pulled on his cover and sat up in his bed. He looked at the clock it was a little past seven. He let out a yawn and stood up. He walked over to his sink and turned on the faucet to began washing his face and brushing his teeth.

Ten minutes later he was cleaned and dressed for school. He started to pack his school bag when he noticed that he had a new message on his phone. He smiled and picked up his phone believing it was Yukari's normal text message asking if he was ready to head to school or not. But Minato frowned. Yukari was dead. She would never text him again. He let out sigh and flipped open his phone to check the text. His eyes went wide as it was from his Senpai asking what he had for breakfast. His hand started to shake as he clenched his phone in rage. It was all her fault. It was all her fault that he hurt Yukari so bad. It was her fault that he would never get Yukari to forgive him. His breathing grew erratic as he stared at his Senpai's text message. He wanted to hurt her. He wanted to make her suffer. But those thoughts vanished as soon as he heard a knock on his door.

"May I come in?" Aegis asked through the door and Minato moved to opened the door.

"Thank you." Aegis said as Minato opened the door and she walked in. Minato always found it odd that their school uniform made Aegis look just like a normal human being.

"I wanted to apologize for last night. It was rather insensitive and selfish of me to ask you that question." Aegis apologize looking down and Minato smiled a bit.

"It's okay, I should apologize too. I was uncaring when a friend needed me." Minato apologized

"Are you ready to go to school?" Aegis asked and Minato nodded his head slowly.

"As ready as I'll ever be." Minato said with a uneasy chuckle.

Minato took a deep breath and winced in pain. Mr. Edogawa frowned behind his glasses as he stared at the young man. Touching Minato's right ribs making the young man flinched in pain. Mr. Edogawa let out a sigh as he turned back to his desk and started to fill out some paper work on his desk.

"I don't know how Arisato-kun, but it looks like you broken at least one of your ribs." Mr. Edogawa said as he pushed up his glasses.

"Though I suggest that you go and see an actual doctor and get it checked out." He said as he watched the young man sit on the bed with a stoic look on his face.

"But I have to ask. Where did you get this injury?" Mr. Edogawa asked and Minato slowly blinked his eyes.

"Marital Arts practice." Minato said and Mr. Edogawa looked at him puzzled.

"Really? Even though you just transferred to this school last month?" He asked the teacher in him sense something more, but he just couldn't tell exactly what.

"Yes, I take it very seriously." Minato answered as he slowly brushed his hair out of the way of his eyes with his right hand.

"I see." Mr Edogawa said as he examined Arisato file. "I see that you have P.E. next period so why don't you stay here?" Mr. Edogawa said as he begun packing up his stuff.

"The leader of the Health committee should be here soon, but for me I have to cover for a professor that sadly had a family emergency so I'll have to cover her class for next period." Mr. Edogawa said as he left the room in a haste.

Minato Arisato sighed and ran a hand through his tired face looking down at the floor. What he told Mr. Edogawa was a lie. Actually he took a serious hit from a shadow the night before. But as the leader of the group he felt that he couldn't show weakness in front of the rest of the group who depended on his leadership to get them through the toughest battles.

"Oh hello there." A soft female voice said and Minato slowly lifted up his head.

A young women stood in the doorway. She had shoulder length brunette hair that was curly at end of her hair strands. She was about average height and average weight. She was wearing the Gekkoukan female winter uniform and it seemed to be a little big for her. She had somewhat fair skin that was a bit pale. He could feel the stare of her gray eyes as she stood in the doorway her school bag in her right hand and a melon soda in her left hand. Minato bit his lower lips he knew a lot of people attending this school, but he never saw this girl in his life before. Not like she was much to look at with that large mole under her right eye.

"Are you feeling okay?" She asked as she moved to set her stuff on Mr. Edogawa's desk.

"Yeah I'm fine, just hurt myself practicing my Martial arts." Minato answered and the girl smiled as she took a seat at the desk.

"Mr. Edogawa already took care of me. But I guess your the leader of the health committee that he talked about." Minato said and she nodded her head yes.

"I'm Saori Hasegawa of class 3A. It's a pleasure to meet you." She introduced herself with a small smile.

"I'm Minato Arisato of Class 2F. The pleasure's mine." Minato said smiling at her.

The rest of the period was silent as Minato watched Saori silently read a book as she occasionally sipped a bit of her Melon soda. For no apparent reason Minato found himself wanting to know more of this strange unknown girl. The bell rang and Minato said goodbye as he left the room. He wasn't sure, but he thought he heard a quiet good day from her.
