Since when did I become some gossip-killing prophet? Well at least some people don't cower in fear when they see me.

Masahiro walked down to his locker to get his lunch. He was in an unusual good mood today and he did not know why. Maybe it was because he met a girl like Yami, or maybe it was because of that girl Eriko. Whatever the reason he just felt good today.

"The weather's nice, maybe I should go eat lunch on the roof today. I do not want to be stuck in the café its stuffy and I always get into fights there. Ill just avoid all that today" said Masahiro to himself as he whistled a tune. As he walked down the hallway students snickered and jeered at him.

"Why are you so happy Masa-kun? I mean I don't think that id be that happy if I was the most hated person in the school," said a boy who was leaning against the locker that was next to his. Masahiro looked at the kid and smirked at him and walked away from the kid.

"So im the most hated person in the school…who cares. I do not need them to feel accepted." Thought Masahiro As he walked up the staircase that was connected to the roof. The nice breeze blew against his face.

He felt at peace when he was on the roof. He sat there and started to munch on a sandwich he had brought at a mini-mart not too far from the school. Just then, the door opened and a girl walked out to meet Masahiro- it was Eriko.

"I knew that id find you up here Masa-kun!" said Eriko who clapped Masahiro's Shoulder. Masahiro looked at her and smiled.

"Why if it isn't the Hyper-active girl who wants me to join her group of gossip-killing super hero's" said Masahiro laughing to himself. Eriko pouted at Masahiro's statement.

"Hey, that was mean Masa-kun! Im not Hyper Active, im just really energetic" Eriko stuck her tongue at Masahiro in a childish way. Masahiro continued to munch on his sandwich.

"So Mikan, what are you doing up here. What made you want to find some one like me?" Asked Masahiro as he finished eating his sandwich, Eriko started to open a candy bar.

"Well I didn't want to sit in a café with a bunch of popular kids… they only talk about things that don't really matter. So I decided to find you because you're not like those kids," Said Eriko as she munched on her candy bar. Masahiro's relaxed gaze suddenly became serious.

"How the hell do you know what Im like, we met only a few hours ago. This by the way would not have happened if I didn't have to drop of an assignment to that teacher," Said Masahiro as he turned away from her. Eriko stood up and walked over to the edge of the roof and looked out at the city.

"So this was a chance meeting eh; it was kind of like fate in a way wasn't it?" said Eriko calmly as she looked over the edge.

"Feh, it was just a lucky coincidence, you were getting made fun of and I decided to put a stop to it" Masahiro leaned against the wall and lit a cigarette

"Fate had nothing to do with it," said Masahiro who took a long drag on the cigarette, he puffed the smoke into the air. Eriko turned around to face him. She was laughing.

"Oy whats so funny, why are you laughing like that" said Masahiro who took another Drag on the cigarette he puffed more smoke. Eriko walked up to him, she was still laughing.

"Things like this always happen in the manga's I read. There is always that one lonely character who thinks that the world is out to get him. There are always people that sit on the sidelines who wait to reach out to that one lonely person…" She paused for a bit and smiled at Masahiro.

"And Pull him out of the hell that he experienced" Masahiro Looked at her, she was right he knew that she was right. It was all true; Masahiro took drag on the cigarette.

"You know, hyper active girls like you are always the most annoying type of girl there is," said Masahiro who smiled at her; she pouted again at what Masahiro had said.

"Hey Masa-kun your so mean! I told you im just energetic, and by the way PUT OUT THAT DAMN CIGARETTE! I hate the smell of cigarette smoke," said Eriko who tried to take the Cigarette out of Masahiro's mouth. Masahiro dodged her advance and started running away.

"Your going to have to catch me first Mikan" said Masahiro who dodged all of Eriko's attempts to take his Cigarette.

"Hey Get Back here Damn it! You can't run forever Masahiro Maikeru!" said Eriko as the bell that signaled the end of lunch rang.

"Well I had better get going to class, the teacher would kill me if I was late" said Eriko who was breathing heavy

"What are you going to do Masa-kun?" asked Eriko as she got her things together and made her way to the door.

"Well im going to stay up here and nap for a bit" said Masahiro Eriko walked up to him and hit him over the head.

"Wrong answer, you're going to class! Come on now Masahiro we cant be late, you know how sensei gets" Eriko took the cigarette out of Masahiro's mouth and pulled him by the ear.

"Hey you can't drag me to Class, I don't want to go! You cannot make me go! This is so uncool!" said Masahiro as he was dragged back inside by Eriko

"How will you survive in life, if you don't have an education; you'll just be a bum off of the streets" said Eriko as they walked into the Classroom. The other students started to whistle and hoot when they saw that Masahiro had been forced to go to class by a girl.

"What you couldn't beat up nerdy little Eriko, your so weak!" said a bunch of the guy's Masahiro shot them a dirty look and they all became silent. The teacher came in and started her lecture. Masahiro sat in the back of the class looking out the window; he was happy that he made a friend like Eriko.

Maybe now life wont be so hard, now that the light is starting to melt the darkness
