Vi-sion Me-mory; Chapter 4: Blood High!

"There done" Vi-sion said closing the book; he stretched his arms up as rose from the couch in the study room of the vast library.

"I wonder what Serge-kun is doing?" he thought with a smile on his face. Taking the book under his arm he left from the building, as he walked into down the cobbled walkways of the school, the sky was beginning to turn to dusk.

"Hey new kid!" a voice called, a very familiar and annoying voice, "Oh no…" he said sighed with frustration before turning his head and unfortunately the last person he wanted to see came walking down the path, one hand in his pocket as he waived toward Vi-sion with a cocky grin on his face.

"Oh it's you again…" Vi-sion said half heartedly as the other stood in front of him, "Hey where you headed new kid?" he said as Vi-sion cocked an eyebrow, "First of all stop calling me new kid, it's Vi-sion" he corrected the other.

"And if you must know I'm going to my room" he dead paned as the male still held his grin further annoying the blue haired boy.

"So I was thinking, me, you, the night sky; perfect time for a walk huh?" he said as Vi-sion just looked at him with a blank look.

"I don't think so" he said and prepared to turn away when suddenly he felt a hand on his shoulder, "Come on I don't bite" he said and Vi-sion gave him a hard look, "Okay how about just a walk, no more no less" he said as Vi-sion looked at him before rolling his eyes.

"Fine a walk, but nothing else. Try to touch me and I'll break your fingers off and feed them to you" he threatened and the upperclassman smiled and nodded nervousness present on his face.

"Oh by the way you can call me Bastion" he gave a grin

Soon the two began their walk which had ended up taking them into the forest and they were now walking a few ways away from the school and an eerie suspicion was beginning to fill Vi-sion.

He stopped as the upperclassman stopped and looked back, "This has been a lovely night walk, I'm going back to school, so see ya" he said and turned around to leave, but suddenly stopped and back up as another upperclassman came walking from behind the tree's a malicious grin on his face, two more students with the same wicked smile came walking from the forest and surrounded him.

"What this?" he said as the upperclassman behind him gave a sinister chuckle, his black eyes staring at Vi-sion like a predator ready to pounce on its prey.

"This pretty boy, will be your final day at Laconblade" he chuckled along with his simple minded cohorts as they zero in on the boy who stood eyes looking back and forth as the inched closer and closer.

"So that's how it's gonna be" he stretched his muscles before giving a uninterested yawn, "So if you want it…come get it" his eyes became sharp as one of the boys launched at him throwing a punch as the hit made contact the others smirked. But something was off, with a gasp the larger boy fell to his knees, clutching his stomach in pain. Me-mory stood there his knee still leveled from the impact to the other, the three stood there as the leader commanded the others to get Vi-sion and the two upperclassman ran toward him. Dodging the first punch he grabbed his arm swinging his body upwards he falcon kicked the second boy knocking him back onto the ground. The other boy grasped before a swift kick made contact with his face, but he still stood, the blow knocking off his glasses. As he tried to recoil, he was met with another kick to the face followed by a swift by effective blow to the stomach. The boy on the ground wiped the saliva and blood from his mouth and began charging at Me-mory. Ducking the others punch hit his comrade in the face sending him falling back unconscious.

As he caught his mistake he looked down just in time to receive a strike to the throat, again on the ground he clutched his throat in pain, hacking and coughing from the attack. Looking up through pained eyes, he saw Mem-ory standing over him, a smile across his face as he looked down to the hacking male.

"Sorry" he smiled before delivering a kick to the side of his head sending him falling to the ground with a thud.

Now it was just him and the leader who stood there, his eyes wide with disbelief and fear, as he looked at the three males, his friends withering on the ground in pain.

"Okay shall we finish a special moment" Vi-sion cooed as the other boy stood there cringing as Vi-sion smiled as he walked closer to the other. It was like a pattern, he took a step forward, and the other took a step forward. It continued like that until his back made contact with a tree, seeing an opportunity and with a flick of his wrist the upperclassman found him-self pinned to a tree by two sharp knives.

"Now then" he came to stand in front of the other, "Tell me Bastion, why I shouldn't gut you like a trout and leave your bodies out here to rot" he smiled innocently as the boy face held fear and terror.

"Well" he growled as the male in question began to shiver, "Listen this is just a huge misunderstanding" he said and Vi-sion gave a 'pfft', before bringing out another dagger, the silver metal gleaming under the light of the moon.

"Now that's not very good reason" he twiddled the edge of the blade against the tip of his finger, "But then tell me what a good reason is to gang up on someone" he said still toying with the tip, "Now then how do you want to do this, I can kill you quickly" he got up close to the others face, his eyes locked with wide brown eyes.

"Or I could gut you slowly and use your blood and guts to bath in and bath, your choice" he held an innocent smile further scaring the male who had a horrified look on his face.

"Listen! I was set up, Gilbert, yeah he put me up to this" a mention of the golden haired boys name made Vi-sion's blood run cold, the smile falling from his face only to be replace by a sour frown.

"Really now" he pressed as the male nodded quickly, "Yeah it was him, he promised me something special i-if me and friends roughed you up a bit. I swear it was all him, please I don't wanna die" he whined rather pathetically only to scream as the blade that was once in the others hand was brought down with enough force to bury itself right next to his head.

"That little bitch" he growled a firm grip on the buried blade, "When I get my hands on him I going to…" he halted his words as a though came to mind, the male began to cringe as a snicker spilled from the boys lips and as he turned back toward him the male cringed in horror as a dark aura poured the other, a twisted gleam in the others eye.

"Hehe" he said and a scream echoed through the forest as a flock of birds scattered from the trees.

Back at school Serge was walking down one of the hallways when his eyes caught something outside in the corner of his eye. Stopping to take a closer look his eyes widened as he recognized a familiar head of blue.

"Oh my god!" he yelled dropping the books he had forgotten, quickly running down the staircase and almost falling out the door. He ran towards the side of his school and gasped as he spotted a familiar head of blue on the ground.

"Vi-sion!" he said running to the boys side, he was a complete mess. His hair was covered with dirt and foliage, his clothes looked torn like he had been through a struggle, "What happened?" he asked as Vi-sion sniffled before looking up at Serge with tears in his eyes, "Oh Serge-kun!" he clung he Serge who looked down at the other, "What happened to you?"

"I-I was just taking a walk around the campus when I was grabbed and forced into the forest" he cried as Serge eyes widened, "I tried to get away but…but there were so many of them. They held me down and tried to get my clothes off…I-I…it was so horrible!" he cried as Serge held him.

"Did they hurt you? Did they…" he couldn't find the words to say, but the other seemed to pick it up and shook his head slowly, "I don't want to talk about it, I-I I just want to go to my room. Can you please help me there?" he asked rather meekly as Serge didn't hesitate to nod, "Yes of course!" he helped the boy off the ground, he wasn't that heavy which allowed him to carry him bridle style.

"Hold on tight to me" Serge said as Vi-sion nodded wrapping his arms around the others neck, once he was sure the other was secured, Serge carried the boy back into the school. Ignoring a few looks he was getting he had managed to get the boy back to his room. He carefully placed the boy on the bed, "I'm going to go get the dorm advisor will you be okay until I get back?" he asked as Vi-sion nodded slowly, "Okay I'll be right back he said leaving the boy alone in the room.

Making sure he was alone he slowly sat up on the bed, a smile forming on his face as he clapped his hands for a job well down, "Well that went well I should get an Oscar" he chimed as he congratulated himself. The door suddenly opened revealing Serge who was followed in by two other boys,

"Serge-kun?" he said with a low voice as Serge came to his side, "Yes it's me Vi-sion, I brought my friend to help with your injuries" Serge said letting the older boy through, "Hi there I'm Karl Meiser, I'm the dormitory dean of Hall B" he introduced himself, "Okay I'm going to give you a small examination just tell me where it hurts" he said as Vi-sion nodded.

Slowly Karl began feeling around the boy's body noting the cuts and scrapes on the others body, "Hm…"

"What's wrong?"

"Well he's got some bruises and cuts on his skin, plus his ankles look pretty swollen. What happened to him?" he said looking at Serge

"He got grabbed and attacked, a group of males held him down!" Serge said as the two boys gasped, "Did they do anything else to him?"

"No he managed to get away"

"I see that would explain the bruising. We should clean up the cuts and put some ice on his ankle" he said as the others nodded, "I'll go down to the kitchen and get some ice" Karl said as he went out of the room, "I'll go get something to clean the cuts, Serge please stay with him" he said as the boy nodded.

"Thank you" Vi-sion smiled as Serge nodded, "Don't worry everything will be okay" he assured him. Once the cuts were cleaned and bandaged up, the two older boys left, Serge had stayed behind to look after Vi-sion in case he needed anything.

"Serge-kun you don't have to stay with me" Vi-sion said as Serge shook his head, "I want too, your hurt and you need someone to help you until you're ankle heals up" he said as the other boy smiled.

"But, don't you have to return to your own room?" he inquired as Serge just smiled, "its fine, my room is usually quite, Gilbert tends to leave and return on a whim" he sighed as Vi-sion rolled his eyes.

"Anyway, I've decided to stay with you tonight" he said and if it weren't for his current situation Vi-sion would be doing cart wheels up and down the school. "I don't want to burden you, plus my room only has one bed" he said as Serge frowned at the situation, "But…if I'm not overstepping my boundaries as a friend, we could share my bed" he offered as Serge gave a thoughtful look before nodding, "Alright I'll share a bed with you" he said standing up carefully not to adjutate the others leg.

"I just need to go grab some things from my room and I'll be right back"

Serge had just opened the door to his room and was met with the most particular of sights, "Gilbert, you're here?" he said rather disbelievingly as he saw the golden haired boy sitting on his bed. The boy remained silent only giving the other a condescending look, with a sigh he entered the room and straight to his dresser. He grabbed a night shirt and a change of clothes, green eyes watched the boy in curiosity.

"What are you doing?"

"Huh? Oh well I'm going to be spending a few nights at a student's room" he said as Gilbert raised an eye, "Oh really, you know spending the night has two meanings"

"It's not like that!" he blushed at the others accusations, "Vi-sion was hurt tonight and he needs someone with him until he gets better" he said and suddenly Gilberts eyes widened and his blood went cold at the mention of the others name. What was worse is that Serge was about to play servant to that little weasel.

"Will you be fine for a couple of days without me?" Serge said opening the door, "I'm not a child I don't need a babysitter" he said rather coldly as Serge sighed, "Just please behave yourself for a few days" Gilbert just pouted and turned his head to the side like a child having a tantrum. Serge just sighed and with that he closed the door leaving the bitter blond alone.

It was a couple of days and Vi-sion was recovering very well, Serge had been pretty much Vi-sion's personal 'maid', he brought him homework, food, and kept him company and up to date with school work. Right now the brown haired male was bringing said blue haired boy some tea, as he walked to the dorm room he noticed a familiar head of gold standing right outside the door.

"Gilbert?" the blond boy turned to face Serge, "What are doing in this part of dorms?"

"Don't look so surprised, I was just walking around" he said rather rudely, "Well anyway I have to get this tea to Vi-sion" he said moving passed the blond to open the door, Gilbert leered behind him. Green eyes peeked inside to see Serge handing the little fink in question and growled as he looked at how the other was playing with what was his.

"Oh Gilbert you came to visit me, I'm touch" he smiled as Gilbert remained even faced, "Gilbert don't be so rude" Serge said as Gilbert rolled his eyes before walking into the room. It was decorated rather nicely, though a bit to frilly for his tastes. As he looked around his eyes fell on a bird cage that sat near the window. Curiously he went over and looked inside, on the little swing was a sleeping little golden bird.

"I see you meet Oliver" Vision said as Gilbert continued to look at the tiny little thing, "I've been meaning to ask you what kind of bird is he?" Serge inquired

"He's an American Goldfinch" he said as he smiled warmly at the small bird as it bathed in the rays of the warm sun. "I remember when I first got him, I hatched him out from an egg I found when I visited England" he said with a nostalgic look on his face.

"So why name him Oliver?" Gilbert said as he touched the cage bars, "Hmm, it's sad really, I named him Oliver…after a boy I meet when I was in England" he said as a somber look came over his eyes. "What happened to him?" Serge asked. Vi-sion's eyes seem to drift off somewhere else.

"Did he….?"

"Huh? Oh no! He lives with my family" he said noting the others sad disposition. "I'm sorry it's just you looked so sad!"

"Sorry about that I tend to drift off when thinking of Oliver" he laughed nervously as the other gave a sigh before giving a soft smile.

"I still don't see what so special about some tiny bird" Gilbert said and Serge looked at him, "Gilbert!"

"It's okay, Oliver is special because he has the most beautiful voice"

"The boy?"

"No the bird" he said, "Here bring Oliver over and I'll show you!" he said not liking the disbelieving looks from the two boys. Gilbert humored him and brought the bird cage over handing him over to the blue haired bird.

A long time ago, in a tragedy

If there ever comes a day when I go away

In a forest deep, you will sink like a stone

From that moment on, you'll go alone

Feeling a warm temperature in the hands we hold now

If ever comes a day when they gently unfold

A dry bell will sound echoing on its own

From that moment on, you'll go alone…

A Vi-sion began singing the soft tone; the bird opened his eyes, ruffling its golden feathers it looked around curiously before falling on Vi-sion. Hearing the melody the bird began twitting along. Serge listened in awe as the birds harmonious tweeting and Vi-sion's beautiful singing were just…angelic. The melody the bird made reminded him of a choir.

For we are two are of a kind; when we walk, we are one

The sound of lies being told disappears like the sun

And now we both bow our heads; there is just a shadow

Did you know that I'm also going alone?

In a forest deep, I seek and I knew

I'm a charred and dirty forsaken fruit

And that is the end, there's nothing more to seek

From this moment on, you'll go alone…

As the song finished and Vi-sion sang the final not the bird seem to follow every note he hit and followed vocalizing their melodies together.

"That was beautiful" Serge said wiping a tear from his eye, Gilbert just folded his arms and looked off to the side a small tear on the side of his eyes.

"Thank you" he smiled before looking down at the canary, "And thank you Oliver you sang beautifully" he congratulated the small bird that peeped and chirped happily.

"He's so cute~" Serge said as Gilbert rolled his eyes, "Well you two can play with a silly bird all you want I'm leaving" Gilbert said as the two looked at him, "Gilbert why must you be so rude?"

"Hmph, oh please you're buying his little innocent act, well I'm not" he leered over at the other, "Gilbert, stop trying to look for the worst in people" he said at the blond who just scoffed.

"Gilbert you need to try and be friends with Vi-sion" he tried to convince the stubborn blond who held his stance, "Well will you at least watch him until I go get some more medicine?" he watched as the blond just shrugged.

"I'll take that as I yes, please try and behave yourself", Serge said going to the door, "And no fighting while I'm gone" he said and left the two alone. But as soon as the door closed the atmosphere in the room seem to drop as Gilbert shot the boy on the bed a dark look.

"Such a cold look Gilbert, why so serious?" he cocked his head as a giggle escaped his lips. Gilbert just looked coldly at him, "Oh before I forget, I ran into a friend of yours a couple of days ago" he said looking at the blond, "Now what was his name…" he snapped his finger, "Oh yes I believe it was Bastion" he said and something seem to click in the boys eyes.

"Here's a tip, next time you hire someone to do your dirty work…make sure that person doesn't have the spin of a two year old girl" he said as Gilbert just gave his indifferent look.

"I don't know what you're talking about"

"You're a terrible liar" he said with a yawn, "I really hate you, you know" Gilbert smiled

"The feelings mutual" he smiled back

Vi-sion finally returned to his regular classes, he was happy to be out of his room and no longer confined to his bed; though he would miss Serge waiting on him hand and foot. Right now he was walking down the halls headed toward his biology class, he had been forced to wear the school uniform; though he did make some alterations, he giggled. He was about to turn the corner when the sound of voices made him stop.

"What do you want Lilith?" he recognized the voice of the pain in his side, Gilbert, peeking down the corner and true to his hearing he spotted Gilbert speaking to a group of other students; most noticeably the one in front. If this wasn't an all boys school he would have sworn that was a girl, God he made Gilbert look straight; this coming from him.

With a scoff he decided he would ignore whatever Gilbert was doing, he really didn't care. Vi-sion turned the corner and began walking down the hall and was about past the group when one of dogs of the girly boy blocked his path.

"Excuse you, your blocking my path" he said as a chuckled filled his ear, "So you're the new student huh?"

"What's it to you" Vi-sion bite at the other, "Oh puppies got a bite, you really should learn some manners" he smiled

"And you need to learn not to look like a female hooker" he smiled as the smile dropped from the others face.

"Hey watch your mouth you little punk!" one of the dogs barked as Vi-sion rolled his eyes, "Down puppy before I neuter you"

"What did you say!"

"Does everyone in this school have a hearing problem?" he groaned before looking back at…whatever his name was he really didn't care.

"So what are you friends with Gilbert now?" he smirked as Vi-sion rolled his eyes

"Hell no I can't stand him, but I won't have someone ganging on others. It's pathetic"

"You know you're really starting to annoy me" his eyes narrowed at the other

"Really? Because you've annoyed me since you've opened that mouth of your and assaulted my ears with your voice" he said and other looked practically red with anger and embarrassment.

"If this is done I'm going to class, so tell your puppy dogs to get out of my way" it sounded like a command, no it was a demand and he made sure the other knew. Lilith just stood there glaring daggers at the other, when suddenly a smile fell on his face.

Vi-sion raised an eyebrow when suddenly he felt the others seem to come closer, surrounding him.

"O brother" he ran his hands through light blue hair, "Let's see six of you and one little old me" he looked back at Lilith, "I like those odds" he smiled

"Tough guy huh! Let's see if you're so tough when we mess up that pretty face of…." In what seemed like a flash the boy who was in the others face was sent flying backwards and landed on the ground with the thud. The others gasped in shock, Lilith looked up from the boy's body up to the others whose leg was still in mid air from the kick. The others stood there in complete silence,

"What the hell just happened!?" one of the boys gasped, with a quick look to the side he saw one of the boys reaching into his pocket and pulling out a knife.

A smile came on Vi-sion's face at the sight of the metallic weapon, spinning on his heel he did a quick turn his foot colliding the boy behind him, connecting directly with his sides sending him falling to his knees in pain. The others tried to grab him at once but like a sneaky cat he managed to slip pass him using the boy's back as lift he cart wheeled to the other side of the group. He turned to the side flipping his hair with a smirk.

"Oh come on that all you got" he teased, "Here I'll make it easy, see no hands" he placed his hands behind his backs. The other boys growled as the other teased them, the one with the knife lunged at him. Dodging left and right the boy couldn't place a hit on the other, "Too slow" he smiled now on the side he kicked the knife out of the others hand sending flying into the air, with around house kick he sent the boy landing on his back. And with a final turn he caught the knife mid tip as it came spinning down.

"So who's next" he said with a seductive tone as the boys looked at him with terrified looks on their faces.

"This guy is crazy!" one of the boys said as Vi-sion just chuckled at the statement, "Come on boys you wanted me as your dance partner, but you refuse to finish the final set. I'm so upset now…you've turned me on but refuse to satisfy me" he tsked at the others.

"He's out of his mind"

"You have no idea…hehe" he smiled
