Chapter Four: The Past

"Ai-kun… about last night," Haruka said, standing up straight I front of Ai who had a remote expression plastered on his face. His eyes as if they were never blinking, his pale complexion only made things worse. A robot, that's how you'll describe him. Those emotionless blue eyes, monotone expression and that very straight form of standing are completely robotic things for everyone.

"Are you okay now?" she continued her statement with a question, her eyes asking him with worry and disturbance. She looked up at him and slightly tilted her head, her angelic face absolutely clear and visible, reflecting on his cold eyes. He just stared at her for a couple of seconds before turning around and walking away. For some reason, Ai developed a pink tinge in the face from embarrassment or shame. Basically speaking, he was blushing. The teal haired boy clenched his hand on his chest.

THUMP.

"W-What is this?" he asked himself, clenching his school uniform near his chest. He breathed loudly trying to calm his fast racing heart. His temperature on his cheeks rose and he somehow felt… restless. Never once in his life has he ever experienced this before. He thought that he was dehydrated, the rising of the temperature and the fast beating of the heart are one of the disease's symptoms after all. He continued his inhalation routine in the process of trying to calm his heart but no, it was no use.

THUMP.

It only got worse.

THUMP.

"Ai-kun, are you alright?" the girl with short pinkish-hair asked, overwrought and nervous for the boy. He was sweating a lot and looked paler than usual in her sight. Her anxiousness and uneasiness only rose when he pushed her away.

"Go away!" the teal-haired teen shouted, his voice rising for the first time. Haruka's eyes widened at the sudden thunder she received from Ai, stumbling a couple of steps from him, she couldn't help herself but worry more. Drops of sweat streamed down his face, his hand clenching his chest and his face was red, of course Haruka couldn't help but panic. He looked like he was in pain, very deep pain. Was it because of his depression?

"A-Ai-kun," she tried to approach him for the second time, still, she received the same reaction from him, a shout and a shove.

THUMP.

"I said go away!" Ai's voice bolted with sudden anger and rage obviously visible in his voice. This time, the girl couldn't help herself but flinch due to being alarmed and intimidated.

"But Ai-kun you're—" she tried to reason but it was no use.

THUMP. THUMP.

"Haruka!" he shouted her name for the first time. It was enough answer for her, enough answer to know that he was in deep war with his inner self. His heart beat got even faster the moment he shouted her name. Every skin contact he made with her fueled something inside of him. Every time he tried to say something, he found himself staring at her worried face. Ai forcefully closed his eyes and covered his ears because just by looking and listening to her voice, the number of his heart beats increased.

THUMP. THUMP.

"If you don't go away this very moment I'll…"

THUMP. THUMP.

"I'll…"

THUMP. THUMP. THUMP.

"Just fall in love with you even more!" he shouted then immediately blacked out. All he could see was the night sky covered with stars, he floated in the middle of the ocean and ever so suddenly he saw an angel, an angel who caressed his face with her soft hands and slowly helped him rise from the water. Her pure white wide angel wings waved creating gushes of air, glitter and fragments of light going along with the wind. Her chest glowed with light, a silhouette of a crown seen in sight. Ai's orbs widen in realization.

"A-Ai-kun!" a girl with long pinkish-red hair shouted as she ran with all of her might towards the boy who crossed the road. He curiously looked back finding the source of the voice not failing to notice the traffic light that didn't fail to glow red along with the shouts of other people that walked on the street. Although vehicles were not yet allowed to pass, a car came dashing unto Ai who only stared at it, his eyes widening in shock at the sudden occurrence.

About to be run over by the car, a girl dashed unto his position pushing him hard to the side. A loud crashing sound, screams and cries were heard along with Ai who sat on the road his eyes and mouth widening from shock. In front of him was a pool of blood along with a familiar figure lying dead on the ground.

"Haruka…" he loudly whispered, tossing unto the infirmary's bed. The girl who was sleeping as she tightly held his hand woke up in disturbance. She glanced at the sleeping man and tightened her grip on his hand. Worry and concern is obviously visible on her face. Her usual smile replaced by a panicked frown.

"I-I'm right here Ai-kun," Haruka said, looking at Ai who seemed to be in deep pain. His eyes slowly opened upon hearing her voice. Her vision was blurry at first but then immediately cleared when he saw her face. Her expression was different than what she normally wears. The happy-go-lucky usual Haruka was replaced by her worried panicky side.

"H-Haruka?" Ai asked, his eyes widening at his sight. He had remembered and everything was now clear to him. Her mission, her identity, why he felt such feelings, it was all because of… her. His pupils shivered in shock as his mind repeated the same event over and over again. Blood. Death. Her. On the ground. Ai shook in fear for the first time ever in his life.

"I-I'm sorry… but I have to… about earlier… what you said," Haruka announced holding Ai's hand really tight, tears flowing down her face. The boy clenched his hand unto a first, his eyes slightly tearing up and his eyebrows knitted. She was going to reject him… again.

"I'm really sorry Ai-kun, I already have…Ranmaru-kun," a girl said bowing really low in front of Ai who silently clenched his hand, gritting his teeth. She and Ranmaru's family were close and extremely wealthy. Since the two of them are also childhood friends, they decided to… two words, arranged marriage.

"Haruka, please…" Ai whispered silently, closing the gap between them, making their foreheads touch with each other.

About to ask something, Haruka only heard the door opening, revealing three familiar figures to Ai. The two students inside the room turned to see who it was, their hands separating from each other's. "Mikaze! Class has already ended and we have to go beat the crap out of…" Kurosaki Ranmaru's voice died out of him when he saw the girl sitting next to Ai. Even Camus and Reiji had their eyes widened in shock, cold sweat due to nervousness tickled down their faces.

"Haruka?" Ranmaru asked. The girl just looked hesitantly to the side, biting her lips as she twitched.

This was making her mission harder.
