Chapter 4

Hitomi woke up normally at her room, not in the mood and not minding everything around her. She started walking after sliding the door of her house and stepped out. Usually, she walks to Kunitachi train station and rides the train for 10 minutes to Kunitachi High School. After walking out of the train, Hitomi yawned and stretched her arms.

"Hah…" her mouth opened. While she skids the street, she felt something strange, like someone was following her. The footsteps were being heard by her. It's like her ear hear thousand miles like an elephant. She stopped walking and looked back.

"No one's there… that's not good,"

Hitomi felt the cold sweat on her nape and she rubbed her arms.

"Hello? Is anyone there? Come out now or else! Do you want something from me?!" Hitomi said, pissed off. She started to feel cold. She walked slowly and then ran because she thinks that maybe the person following her may not notice that she's not there anymore. She has just saw the street dim, narrow and quiet. Even when a pin drops it can be heard.

She ran as fast as she could and suddenly she bumped on this quiet-looking guy almost her age.

"Gommena…" Hitomi cut off her words when the raven-haired guy's eyes turned red with glaring gestures. This made her jump and shiver, and then her mark glowed. The man disappeared quietly like a wind.

She ran again and for the second time, she got into a crowd luckily. She found herself walking in the pedestrian line; as she looks back trying to search if this guy is still there. She sighed deeply in relief. Kanazawa started to skid the place normally like nothing happened at all; but the nervous feeling and expression of her face was still there. Her abdomen was full of butterflies. Hitomi was thinking of many things about the guy who had seemed to follow her.

"Why is he following me? No, maybe he just mistakenly recognized me as a relative or a friend… but why did he glare at me? Is he giving me a sign of a death threat? No. No. He's not here anymore. No problem. Nothing's going to happen now. Okay. Chill, Hitomi. Chill."

Then suddenly, someone tapped her back.

"WAH!!!" Hitomi screamed her arms stroke a funny pose and hair stood up.

"Minoru?!? Hell, you scared me!" Hitomi exclaimed, hand on her left chest, feeling the pumping of blood by her heart. Minoru laughed; as she was trying to prank her friend.

"Yup! I knew you were going to be scared! You were looking serious and really fretting while walking down here. That's why I planned to surprise you." Minoru giggled.

"But why were you looking serious back then? Nothing's wrong here anyway." She continued.

"For you, maybe. But someone was following a while ago. I felt scared you know and now this, you nearly gave a heart attack!" Hitomi replied, looking around.

"Well… don't feel worried about that. We're near to the school now and I'm here, hello!" Minoru tried to cool off Hitomi. Hitomi, in return, made Minoru jump and to be shocked.

"Wah!"

"Hehehe. You're scared also, aren't you? Let's go." Hitomi laughed and proceed to the school's gate.

On the other side of the world…

"I know you now; we'll meet soon… very, very soon." The guy who followed Hitomi back then uttered with a peevish smile.

"Have you seen her?" A man with a black cat named Lucifer asked.

"Yes, master. I did." The guy who followed Hitomi replied as he bowed in front of him.

"Good job, Kurai. Good job." The man pulled the samurai from the case and his eyes were filled with dark plans.

-Noon-

"Grr… I hate carrying these papers!" Hitomi complained.

"Hitomi!" Haiiro shouted in the hallway.

Hitomi jumped and the papers she was carrying flew over the air.

She started to get angry, really angry and red-faced.

"WHAT?!?" Hitomi shouted back.

"Hitomi! I need your help. I accidentally locked our classmates inside the chemistry lab!" Haiiro said, panting.

"That's all?! T-that's all?! What do you think of me? A superhuman that can destroy the door? A soldier who can detonate the door with a bomb or the janitor who holds the key?!" Hitomi folded the sleeves of her uniform, crunching her fists.

"Um, no." Haiiro said nervous and stepping back.

"Well then, why did you ask me for help, you idiot?! Go to the janitor!!! Or to the priiinncipalll!!!" Hitomi gave him a punch on the face and it hit hardly his nose. His nose bleed severely, that he needs to go to the clinic.

Later…

"Are you okay now, Mr. Katsuoba?" The nurse; Ms. Aiano Hiroshima asked while wrapping the band around Haiiro's forehead because besides his nose, his forehead hit the wall.

There are too many punches on his face.

"Obviously not, she got pissed off. Itai!" The annoyed voice came out from his mouth.

"I'm sorry, wait. I'll just get an ice pack at the storage room. I'll be right back."

Haiiro was whistling as he takes a tour around the clinic. Suddenly…

"Care for a handkerchief?" Hitomi offered, concerned.

"Eh? Let me have that." Haiiro got it, frowning.

"Oh, c'mon! Don't be sadistic, okay? It was your fault. I was really pissed off when you only asked for help because of that. And didn't you see it? I am carrying papers."

"Well, you shouldn't have punched me. I don't know anyone to ask for help, it just came out from my mind that you should be the one to help me."

"Okay, okay. Fine. I'm sorry." Hitomi said. Then, she burst into laugh teasing Haiiro:

"Haiiro the red nose reindeer! Hahaha!"
