ME: HEY EVERYONE! I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO SAY AND I'LL SAY IT AT THE BOTTOM!

JIN: WAIT! I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY!

ME: YOUR OPINION DOESN'T MATTER HERE, JIN!


CHAPTER 4: A NEW BOND

JIN'S POV

Hi! The name's Honda Jin. I live a normal life with my obaa-chan, imouto and aniki. My okaa-chan is in Shikoku while my otou-san is in America to support us here in Kanto. Basically, I don't have anything to tell you guys because I merely lived a normal life in Edo, Japan. I had a childhood there and why I had this attitude of being a joker, to make my friends laugh. I am highly dependent and not that independent in many things because of my clumsy attitude. Also I smoke cigarette, I tried to avoid in the past but it became a habit now. Anyways when I was at the age of 13, we moved to Chozukabe City to start my high school in Chozu High. When I first enrolled in Chozu High, I was really quiet at first but when people got to know, I will begin to show my true attitude. A jester. Yes. Anyways, in my first year life here in Chozu, I met a girl named Mayumi. At first, I thought she was kind of innocent and kind at first because of her stature. When I met her and began to become close with her, I saw her attitude as a tomboyish attitude yet retains a girlish attitude sometimes. She became my best friend and kind of my partner in crime. Hehe.

When I became a third year, Mayumi and I were separated because of different classes. Though, it was because of that I met him. Fuma Akira. At first we didn't get along because of his attitude but as time passes we became best friends too and it turns out Mayumi knows him as well. Since then, Akira and I have hanging out as best friends along with some people we befriended at that time. After third year, we became seniors and found out that we were in one classroom. Making us all happy and excited. My first day as seniors in Chozu High was just like any other day here.

When I arrived in my classroom, I saw Akira and Mayumi already left a seat between them making me grin. I sat between them and we chatted about what happened to our summers. We then noticed a new face that we haven't seen in our school. He had jet black hair and had dark eyes, he sat down and saw him pull out a drawing pad. "Hey he's a new face right?" I asked the both of them.

"Yeah, I think so." Mayumi said.

"He is, I haven't seen a guy like him ever in Chozu High." Akira said, while we were scanning the black haired guy. We then saw that he was approached by a short girl with purple hair and glasses.

"Hey, Akira you know that girl?" Mayumi and I turned to Akira.

"Why do you always consult me when you are questioning about a girl?" Mayumi and I looked at him with deadpan eyes.

"Really?" Mayumi asked. "You want us to remind you why?" Really Akira? You already courted so many girls here in Chozu High! If not here, then the outside world too! Akira merely turned his face from us and made an 'hmph' noise. We looked at Akira for a moment, still with our deadpan faces.

"Her name is Takeda Aki and no, I have never courted her." Akira answered, while he's head is still facing the other way. We stared at him for a few seconds and Mayumi and I quickly went back to chatting amongst ourselves.

After our chat, I brought out my earphones and listened to some music. After some waiting, the teacher never came. Mayumi and I literally were happy that at the first day was a free day for us. We really didn't did that much because there wasn't anything to do interesting. The three of us just chatted until the day ends. At the end of classes, the three of us gone home with some friends of ours from 1st, 2nd, and 3rd year classes before. Before I went home, I smoked one stick and went straight. All of my classmates know that I smoke but I don't want to show it to the others because they might report me to the school. The teacher never appeared for the whole week! Is this luck?! For the whole week, the three of us had non-stopped vacation in school. The three of us would go to class at 9:00 just in case the teacher comes but when he/she still doesn't come before 9:30, we go out and go to the ground floor until lunch break. The days went smooth and when we feel like it, we would sneak home early. Anyways it really felt like heaven for me for the whole week but I would always notice that new guy draw and apparently got new friends. It was a girl and a large guy. I asked Akira about who they were, though, he didn't knew the large guy, he knew the girl's name was; Oda Misui. Well, atleast that guy, who was lonely at first, has some friends to accompany him. Though, his drawings, I really want to see. Oh, Mayumi also introduced us to another guy named, Hattori Daishi. The weird thing about that guy, was that he wears a white coat with no design. Anyways, at third year, Mayumi befriended Daishi and kept her company while I wasn't with her. In my impression, Daishi is kind of a cool guy, he knows how to let a conversation roll and everything.

Though, he frequently insults me and Akira about our appearances, but that's what makes him interesting to hang out with. Even though we would talk, he would still refuse to hang out with us, someone even Mayumi, who got curious. Daishi merely responds. "Just wait." He would constantly answer that to us whenever we ask him to hang out with us. Ok, maybe being a cool guy, is making me lose that first impression on him. Still, what made me curious, is that the Daishi, Mayumi was describing, wasn't fully that Daishi that we met.


OUTSIDE SCHOOL GROUNDS, MONDAY

The final bell has rung and students are now allowed to go home. When we were about to come home, Mayumi yelled. "DAISHI!" Me and Akira turned around to see a guy carrying a coat in his back. Mayumi quickly dashed towards Daishi, and the two of us followed behind.

"Mayumi, how you doing?" Daishi, whose name was said by Mayumi, said with a smile. In my first glance towards him was that, he looked like a gangster carrying a white cloak like that. His hair even says about his appearance, though has a cool vibe. I'm still troubling to see him as a gangster but some has said that 'Don't judge a book by its cover.'

Mayumi grinned. "I'm fine, how about you? I haven't seen ya' all summer long." My best friend asked.

Daishi nodded, while keeping his smile. "I'm fine." Daishi then noticed us from behind. "Who's this pansy, and this dope?" My other eye twitched and I just heard Mayumi crack in laughter, holding her stomach. I looked at Akira, and saw that he was trying to stop his evil smirk from showing. THIS GUY IS GOING DOWN! The two of us turned to him when he chuckled. "Just kidding, nice to meet you two." He then raised his fist towards us and made a smile. "The name's Hattori Daishi. Yours?"

Me and Akira let his insult go, for now, and fist bumped with him. "Honda Jin." I introduced myself and he responded with a nod.

Akira, then fist bumped with him too. "Fuma Akira."

"Well, now that you three have met each other, what's your room Daishi?" Mayumi, who has finished laughing her heart out, asked with her hands on her hips.

"Room no. 77" That shocked all three of us.

"Room no. 77? That's our room!" Mayumi said. Daishi, though, responded with a chuckle.

"That makes us classmates then. Sorry, I cut classes today." Cutting classes? Wait, he didn't actually cut classes because the teacher never appeared, lucky him.

"Daishi, I thought you weren't gonna go back to 'that' attitude!" Mayumi exclaimed and made me curious. What 'that' attitude is Mayumi talking about?

Daishi merely rubbed the back of his head and made a nervous laugh. "Sorry but I had something to do for a while. But I do know that the teacher wasn't present this day." He explained.

Mayumi stared at Daishi for a while, but she sighed right after. "You're hopeless in some cases." Mayumi said and Daishi merely responded with a chuckle. "Anyways, you wanna walk together with us?" She offered. I wouldn't mind walking with this guy, after all, Mayumi has spoken highly of him sometimes and would like to befriend him.

"Nah! Thanks for the offer though, but I have something to do." Daishi said and walked in front of us. He looked behind us and smiled. "Maybe next time, Mayumi." Daishi walked off and leaving us.

The wind blew and made it silent. Mayumi was looking at the walking Daishi, with a raised eyebrow. "What is wrong with him?" Mayumi said. I clearly see that something was wrong with that guy. I mean, Mayumi said that Daishi will not decline any offer from a close friend. Except for an offer to go out, if he doesn't have money or energy to go out, based on Mayumi's stories though.

"Mayumi?" Akira snapped Mayumi's attention, and looked at him. "Something wrong?" Mayumi didn't answer for a good few seconds, then shook her head and began to walk. "It's nothing, let's go home already." Mayumi said while looking down on the ground, obviously thinking about that Daishi guy. Me and Akira looked at each, as we follow Mayumi from behind.


BACK TO THE PRESENT

After that one week, our teacher finally appears, named; Hojo Shiki. He introduced us a new classmate of ours. Her name was; Otani Yuki and in my expression for her, seems she's a happy-go-lucky girl, like Mayumi here, though not that tomboyish. Our teacher said we can address him at any way but put a '–sensei' on it. So I can call him 'Dandelion-sensei' or 'Douchebag-sensei' or something? I almost said that out loud, and made Mayumi and Akira snicker to my joke, almost getting caught by Douchebag-sensei. Heh. Anyways I chose to call him, Shiki-sensei, and not Douchebag-sensei. No way in hell I'm calling that buff lion-looking man that, he'll skin me alive or worst! After that, he asked a question that was really nerve breaking in every way. 'Which would you rather choose, your life or your friendship?' That was the question, Shiki-sensei, asked us. I mean seriously, he will fail all of us if we don't answer his questions?! What is this madness?!

After the room panicked, that gangster looking guy, Soma, answered first but got the answer wrong. I then answered the answer but still got it wrong! Even Mayumi and Akira got surprised at what Shiki-sensei said. Some started to panic at what's happening, you give a two choice question, yet those two choice are still wrong?! Now my first expression to him is now, A SADIST! That's right! A SADIST! Good thing that guy, Naosashi, answered the answer and got it right. Apparently, he said about the word, 'rather', can make you pick a third choice or something. I wasn't really a fan of understanding questions that has tricks on it. Even after the question was answered, he still says it's not complete. WHAT THE HELL IS IT WITH THIS GUY?! Mayumi, Akira and I are already troubling here but, in another way of luck, someone answers. It was Daishi, who answered, saving our lives. Shiki-sensei asked more questions until it turned into a speech.

A speech about going beyond our limits, the meaning of the school's creed and using a new creed. I really can't say anything about this teacher. First, he seems acts like a sadist and then inspire us to go beyond our limits. I'm really confused in his character, is he a sadist or an inspirer. Not minding those, I think he just made my day, and even Mayumi's and Akira's as well. Although being that kind of person, he's really living up to his name to being a sadist. I MEAN REALLY!? HE EXTENDED 30 MINUTES OF THE FINAL PERIOD! When the three of us even went down, there were like ¼ students left in school and our class, only our class, is complete in being dismissed. A tic mark appeared at the side of my head while I walked. I gritted my teeth in anger at that freakin' sadist! "Dismissing us 30 minutes late?!"

Mayumi sighed. "Guess that 1 week of extra vacation is being paid back."

Akira nodded. "Let's just hope that he'll only last this, extra 30 minutes thing, for merely a week." My red haired companion said, which both I and Mayumi agreed to.


OUTSIDE THE SCHOOL'S VICINITY

After we got into our usual route towards our homes, I bought a cigarette in a nearby store. I light it up and proceeded to smoke. I walked out of the store and looked at Mayumi and Akira, waiting for me to buy my cigarette. They noticed me, and we continued to the route where the three of us will part ways. That route isn't filled with so many people and with us going home late, there won't be anyone there. "I swear Jin, one day, smoking will be the death of you." Akira pointed out.

I breathed the smoke out and looked at him. "I really can't stop it. It became a habit for me makes me addicted to it." I explained to Akira, even though I've told him this before. I really can't get smoking out of my system, it really helps me when I have problems.

"It's better than smoking sticks, than smoking weeds. I swear, I'm gonna kill you if you do that Jin." Akira chuckled, at what Mayumi said.

I breathed out smoke once more and looked at Mayumi. "That is the only thing I will not do. Cigarette is more than enough." I said with a grin. No way in hell I'm gonna taste the devil's grass. Tobacco is more than enough than doing drugs. Mayumi was about to say something, but we heard a voice at one of the alleyways. We quickly dashed towards that alleyway and took a peak.

The three of us were shock when we saw, Daishi. "Dai-"

I quickly covered Mayumi's mouth, making her look at me. "Ssshhhh...We need to be hidden." I said to Mayumi, who nodded. We began to eavesdrop on them. Apparently, Daishi was cornered in a dead end, by the four gangsters in the classroom. Daishi clearly stood defiant, standing in a straight posture while those guys have their hands in their pockets. 'Those guys...' I thought and narrowed my eyes to get a better look.

"I told you, I already did that!" Daishi said, making the three of us curious. Did that? What did he did?

"Hattori, you can't fool us! You deliberately let that old woman go!" That short guy, what was his name? Egi? Yeah, Egi!

"What are you talking about? Didn't you saw what I did to that old lady?!" We couldn't see Daishi's expression but I could feel the tint of anger in it, and what is he talking about 'that old lady'? Mayumi, though was looking nervous. Probably scared of what Daishi did and was making her worry.

"Don't lie to us Hattori! You know that you need to do the initiation to become a member right?!" The mohawks guy said. I really don't remember his name, I only remember Soma's and Egi's.

"I did, did it! I killed that old lady, you even saw the blood leaking off, remember?! You even saw the body, lying dead on the ground." That made us shock and almost made Mayumi squeal. Luckily, Akira reacted and quickly shut her mouth. I sighed in relief, but made me think at what we just heard. Daishi killed someone? Even worst, an old lady?! Is this really the Daishi, Mayumi said to us.

"Yeah, that is a proof for him to be innocent." The medium one said but was smacked in the head by the mohawks guy.

"Think clearly will you! He definitely did so something to fool us!" The mohawks guys said, while the guy he smacked was rubbing the area that was hit.

"What trick? What would I even do? Show me the evidence that I did a trick!" Daishi said to them. I was having a bad feeling about this. Is Daishi innocent, or did he really did it? I really can't tell by the way he's acting, and if he was watched at the scene, how would he pull off a trick? Mayumi did said about Daishi being a smart-ass and can pull off tricks to deceive people. I groaned in my mind, as I was getting confused at what's happening.

"You better confess or..." Egi's words were interrupted.

"...Or what? You'll kill me? You just can't accept someone like me in your group can't you? Guess I'm too smart for you all." Daishi said, with a smug smirk in his face. The three were about to charge and beat up Daishi, but Soma quickly intervened.

"Stop." At Soma's voice, the three looked towards their kind of 'leader'. Soma walked towards Daishi, slowly. When he was close up front of Daishi, he stopped. "We'll set you up a new initiation, Hattori." We couldn't see Soma's face because his back was facing towards us. "This time, we'll make sure, that we'll get to see up front. No tricks, no deceit and no fooling us. Understood, Hattori?" In Soma's tone, we heard that he had an acid tone in it. Daishi never replied and merely nodded. Soma then began to walk off and his three members followed him, even Daishi did as well. We moved to a hidden spot, to avoid being caught. When we have concealed ourselves, we heard Soma talk once more. "Remember why you're doing this, Hattori. You don't want your precious nee-chan to get touched."

The three of us were surprised and heard that Daishi never talked back. When they have left, me and Akira left the hiding spot, and the both of us sighed in relief, that we weren't caught. "You heard that, right?" I asked Akira, and he nodded as an answer.

"Yeah, we have to report this to the school!" Akira said to me and I agreed in that. We looked at Mayumi. "You in Mayumi?" Akira asked and we just saw Mayumi, staring at the ground, her bangs covering her eyes.

"Mayumi?" I was worried for her, she's my best friend, and I was just torn up in seeing her like this.

"Don't!" The two of us were shocked at her decision. "Mayumi, we just heard about an initiation that can affect someone's life! If we report this, they can capture Soma's gang and finally have a proof to imprison him! I know Daishi is your bestfriend Mayumi, but you just heard what he said, he killed someone! He killed an old lady!" Akira trying to convince Mayumi.

"Daishi..." The two of us listened to her, and I saw her clenching her fist. "Didn't you hear what they said?! They're doubting Daishi! It means he's innocent! Daishi would never kill anyone!" Mayumi exclaimed to us. She is right, they were doubting Daishi's murder but we they're dumb asses though. They then started to argue.

"Mayumi, you just heard what Daishi said! He said he killed that old lady! He sounded even prideful about it!" Akira countered back and made Mayumi clench her teeth. "Admit it Mayumi, Daishi is a murderer and he wants to be a part of that gang!"

"Didn't you hear what Soma said? He said that they'll hurt Daishi's nee-chan if he doesn't do the initiation! I know Daishi more than anyone of you two! You'll never understand him!" Mayumi countered to Akira and made him clench his teeth as well. "I'll ask Daishi if he's innocent or not!" Mayumi was about to walk out but Akira quickly grabbed her hand. I was surprised at what's happening before me.

Akira, clenched his teeth. "Mayumi, will you think for a second will you?! What if you were wrong and Daishi has changed! What if he does something to you?! Stop letting your heart decide for something Mayumi!" Akira exclaimed, gripping her hand tightly.

"Akira!" I said but, he was deaf by rage.

"Because he's one of my best friend too! And I know for sure that Daishi hasn't changed! He was threatened!" Mayumi, who didn't felt any pain from the grip, countered.

Akira, who clearly is getting pissed, then turned his head towards me. "Jin, help me out here! We should report Daishi, right?!"

"Jin, Daishi is innocent! You know me right?! I believe in Daishi to be innocent! Believe me!" Mayumi said and held her hand out to me.

I couldn't choose between my two friends. I mean my conscious is telling me to side with Akira, because I don't know Daishi's personality at all. 'What if he's changed and decided to do it? What if he did wanted to join that gang? But….' I looked at Mayumi, her eyes were surely believing Daishi to be innocent. This is Mayumi after all, my best friend, I can trust her. If she knows Daishi is innocent, why not? But, what if we were wrong? 'What if we get hurt? My whole family will get worried!' I shut my eyes and clenched my teeth. The two were still bickering and I couldn't think clearly. There was only one way out of this! I quickly dashed away from them, when I was a mile away from them, I heard them say my name but I couldn't turn around. I quickly took the route to my home and ran as fast as I can. I couldn't handle the pressure. My two best friends, arguing and trying to prove their point. I can't help myself but run away. Just like how I run away from my problems. I use cigarette to run away from my problems. I use it to forget about them. This troublesome life! I stopped from running and I panted, heavily. I looked back and clenched my teeth right after. 'Akira. Mayumi.' I clenched my fist and began to walk normally once more. I bowed my head, looking at the ground and thought about what happened earlier. I don't know who to side with. They're both right in their claims and both might be wrong if we do their ways. We don't know if Daishi is innocent or has changed. I looked up and saw the store I usually pass by to buy some cigarettes. I walked towards the entrance and it opened automatically, I proceeded to go in.


IN THE STORE

I went inside the store and looked at the people inside, to see that there were about 5 people or so. I went to the counter and bought cigarettes. "You again kid?" The cashier asked me. I nodded and he sighed, and laid down a box of cigarettes. I laid down 400 yen from my wallet, and he took it. "Enjoy" I nodded and took the box. When I was about to pull oone out of the box, a figure went in the store. I looked at to see his/her face but to encounter him. Li Naosashi. My eyes widened in shock to see him and he was staring at me. 'Shit!' I was about to say something, about the cigarette box I have. For anyone to enter this store, it has to be him!

"Honda Jin right?" Naosashi asked. I really wanted to just run away from him, because I know he's not easy to fool after all. I knew this was my end, I nodded. I was expecting like 'I'm gonna report you!' or 'Kneel before me and beg or I'll blackmail you!' but nothing came. I was surprised to see him smiling. "Don't worry, I won't say anything that you smoke to Hojo-sensei." That made my mouth drop to the ground in disbelief. "What's wrong?" He asked me and I quickly shook my head.

"I-I was expecting you to be a strict kind of genius or something." I said and he just burst out chuckling.

After chuckling, he quickly smiled again. "Don't worry, I don't have anything against you or something." Naosashi said to me. I smiled and scratched the back of my head.

"Geez, thanks! I thought my life was over when you saw me." I said, while the scratching the back of my head.

He grinned. "Don't worry, just don't oppose me." He said with a devilish grin that made me scared. I gulped but I soon heard him crack in chuckle. "Just kidding." He proceeded to laugh and I sighed in relief.

My heart felt like it was about to jump because of his face and threat but it was just a troll. Good thing it was just a troll. A though then passed in my head and looked at him. "What are you doing here, Naosashi?" I asked him, who has just stopped laughing.

Naosashi inhaled air in his lungs and exhaled it out. "My house is right about the corner. This is where I usually hang out sometimes." He said to me. Naosashi then looked outside to see the rain getting heavier. "Oh, looks like the rain is getting stronger." I nodded in agreement.

'How am I gonna get home now? Plus I can't smoke inside this place.' I sighed in disappointment in this day. First, my two best friends fight, then the rain prevents me to go home and smoke to forget my problem. Great.

"You can stay in house and you can smoke there." Naosashi said and I was surprised at his offer. First, he isn't gonna report me, now he offers me to smoke in his own home.

"Do you mean it? Or are you just planning to blackmail me?" I asked, with my eyebrows raised in suspicion, and he just responded with a smile.

"Don't worry, I won't blackmail you. I'm not that kind of person." He sadi with a pleasant tone in it, though he could be lying. Though, it could be real. He would invite me, a complete stranger. "I have food there too, if you want." Ok that sold me quickly!

I quickly laid my arm in his shoulder. "IKUZE, MY NEW BEST FRIEND!" I pointed my finger to the exit and he responded with a laugh.

"Call me Nao."


INSIDE NAOSASHI'S HOME

After we ran so fast, we were only lightly soaked in the rain. When I saw his home, it was very small and seemed for 1 people only. It turns out, he was all by himself in this house. Wow, total freedom he has, yet I'm a slave to my obaa-chan. I was kinda jealous towards him, for a young age, he's already has a house for himself. I was curious towards his parent but when I was about to ask, he told me to not question about his parents nor family. I respected his privacy and merely nodded to it. We sat in the wide couch he has and opened the tv. He then let out two packs of chips and one bottle of soda from his fridge. I was kind of shy at first but he said 'don't mind it'. I was even shy to light smoke inside his house, but it was fine for him too. Am I in heaven?! THAT'S IT, NAO'S MY NEW BEST FRIEND! As I hanged out in his home, I asked him about his drawing and I was able to see his drawings. I have to admit, his drawings are very good. He said that it was his pure imagination and that even made me more impressed! I told him the part of my life and told him about Mayumi and Akira. It was 4:55 then and he asked me if I should go home now. I said that I was fine to go home late. I just finished telling about a funny story in my life and we both were laughing. At that time, I have had my sixth stick.

After laughing, Nao spoke. "Jin…" My attention was caught and I looked to him. "Is Mayumi and Akira, that special to you?" His question made me remember them. I was kind of worried towards them, it rained so heavy. I know Akira's home is still far away from the other route, while Mayumi still needs to ride in a bus, in a waited shed. "Looks like they are." My thoughts were snapped when Nao spoke once more.

"It's true, I am worry about them. It's just….something happened." I looked away from Nao and looked at the floor, below.

"About, Hattori Daishi, right?" That made me surprised and look at him. I was about to say something but once again, he beat me to it. "I was passing by that route that you guys take. I heard that you guys were arguing about Daishi. You ran as fast as you can when I was a mile away. I chased right behind you and you didn't even noticed." He said to me and it was true. I didn't even noticed him following me because I was confused. I looked at the ground again and thought about them. Mayumi and Akira. "What happened?"

In 20 minutes, I talked about what we heard from those 4 gangsters and Nao listened. I told him all about it, how I got confused, how Akira wanted to report Daishi while Mayumi wanted to protect him. I sighed after telling him all about it and he nodded. "What will you choose, if you were in this kind of situation, Nao?" I asked my new best friend.

Nao looked at me, then at the tv. "In my opinion, I would choos Akira's side. Though, I would choos Mayumi's as well." My eyebrow raised at his answer but he continued. "You would never know what would happen. Because you lack what they have, Akira's sense of justice and Mayumi's knowledge about Daishi. To me, you seem to only really care about your friends, family and would have no care to the world, right?" He asked me with a grin in his face.

I chuckled lightly and nodded in agreement. "True, I'm not really interested in the world. In politics only and history." I said to Nao. "So, what should I choose?" I asked him.

"To wait and let time pass. Time will tell you to see, who is wrong and who is right, then choose to side with. But who knows? You might find them both wrong, right?"

After our conversation, the rain finally stopped and I was free to go home. It was now 5:30 then and Nao was about to go inside but I said something. "Thanks Nao. For helping me in that problem of mine. It was very nice to share it with someone." I said to him and he just smiled.

"Don't mention it, you come close to me anytime at school. I'll introduce you to Misui and Kyoushiro." Nao said to me and I nodded. I then lifted my fist in front of him. He connected his fist to mine, and soon disconnected it. "See ya, Jin."

"See ya tomorrow, Nao." I turned around and began to walk home. I have to admit, Nao was pretty kind and wise, to give me those words. I haven't met anyone like him that would kindly let anyone in his house. Though, I think he let me in there just to ask me about what he saw earlier. Well either way, I'm glad to meet him. Looks like I found a new one to call a friend.
