Summer vacation was quickly approaching, and the school was planning a trip for the students. There was a summer house at a beach a few hours away from the city, and it would be the destination of the trip. As much fun as it sounded, everyone still had to wait a few weeks before the official announcement. After all, school was still taking place.

"Are you okay Caesar?" Ichihime blinked at her boyfriend who was walking sluggishly.

"Don't mind him Ichihime. He really hates the heat so it's nothing to worry about." Brutus chuckled.

"It's not funny Brutus!" The white-haired teen whined in exhaustion.

"Do you need water Caesar?" His girlfriend held onto his arm adorably.

"It's okay. I have some right here." The teen yawned slightly.

"Did he not get enough sleep?"

"That's how much the heat affects him. He just wants to go back to sleep when it's really hot out."

"Hey Brutus! Don't tell her that!" Caesar blushed slightly.

"Aww why not Caesar? Then I could tell her about that time you got all the sugar from the pantry and poured it on the floor saying you were going to make snowmen."

"I was 5 years old what do you expect?!" He blushed again.

"Kawaii! That happened?!" Ichihime giggled.

"Oh yes it did! His father told me all about it recently. He even took pictures of Caesar doing so."

"Brutus!" Caesar turned red.

The girl kept giggling. "That's so adorable!"

"So how have things been going between the both of you?" The green-haired teen's face got serious.

"Do you mean.."

"Aphrodite?"

"Mm." Brutus nodded.

"I haven't heard from her in a while..I'm starting to think she's up to something." The blue-eyed teen folded his arms.

"We should be careful for now." The girl hugged onto Caesar's arm more.

"Especially after school, you guys. That's when she can do something at any given moment."

"You're right Brutus. We'll hurry back home."

"A-ano let's go to class for now." The couple walked ahead.

"I can't help but feel like something is going to happen either way.." Caesar's best friend was worried.

After School

Caesar was taking his stuff out from the locker room as usual.

"I need to hurry..I have a bad feeling about this.."

"It's been a while hasn't it.."

The white-haired teen stopped what he was doing and looked towards the doorway.

"You..."

"Surprised to see me here kid? Looks like you got taller."

"Enough of that... Claudius...why are you here?!"

"Why?" The older teen smirked, "I wanted to have more fun." The boy grabbed Caesar and threw him against the locker.

Caesar gasped trying to catch his breath. "Look I don't want to fight you! I've been over that fight!"

"Have you really? You lost and it was an embarrassment. The whole school saw you lose." Claudius laughed.

"It's not always about winning or losing..."

"How disgusting...your words make me want to puke. What's happened to you?"

Caesar smirked lightly, "There's someone I want to protect and keep safe. I won't lose to you.."

"Then try me! Let us finish what we started!" The male threw a punch and Caesar stopped it with his hand. "How did you.."

"I told you there's someone I want to protect!" He managed to knee Claudius hard, in the gut.

The other male gasped in pain and held his stomach. "Damn you..."

The white-haired teen kicked the other teen to the ground and placed his foot on his chest.

"Isn't this what you wanted?" Caesar looked down on him, "For this battle to have an outcome? An outcome where I win." His small smirk grew into a slightly cynical laugh.

"You're crazy!" Claudius managed to get him off.

"Maybe I am." They kept fighting.

Meanwhile

"Caesar...where are you?" Ichihime was waiting in the Choir club room. Her face growing with worry as the time passed. She suddenly felt the door open. "Caes- Aphrodite-san.."

"Hello Ichihime." The taller girl walked over to her.

"W-what do you want?" The younger girl was afraid but she knew she couldn't waver now.

"It's a shame that Caesar isn't here to defend you now isn't it?" Aphrodite took out the knife from her pocket, discreetly.

The girl noticed, "Why should I need to defend myself?"

"You never know when something might happen. Let's say for example.. An assault." The girl took the knife out.

Ichihime quickly kicked the knife out of her hand.

"How did you-!" The blonde was in shock.

"If you think I can't defend myself then you're wrong." The pink-haired girl knew karate. Her brother took her to practice it but, he told her to use it only when there was real trouble.

"You bitch...I will get him back no matter what!" She picked up the knife again.

"Stay away from Caesar!" The two fought.

Back to the other fight

Caesar was panting against the wall.

"Had enough?" The older teen cracked his knuckles. "I thought you would pack more of a punch now that you're older..but it feels like you've gotten weaker." He made Caesar turn around and he pushed him against the wall roughly.

The younger teen gasped and panted against the locker. "Stop it...just give it up...I don't want to fight anymore."

"Who said anything about fighting now?" Caesar heard the other male unzip something.

"Wait..what are you.." Caesar's eyes widened in horror.

Aphrodite and Ichihime

"After seeing those moves I expected more from you." The girl had tied Ichihime up to a chair.

"I don't want to resort to violence. I only want to defend myself with that." The pink-haired girl gasped as Aphrodite used the knife to open her shirt slightly.

"I don't understand why he loves someone much more smaller than me. Mine are better."

"Bigger doesn't mean anything! In fact it's not your physical appearance. Your actions just make you ugly!"

"You little bitch! Why can't you just disappear." She opened her shirt more ripping her bra with it.

"Mm.." Ichihime looked down but she tried to stay strong, for her boyfriend.

"You're still worried where he's at huh..well I'll tell you a hint. His dignity might have been broken."

"What do you.."

Aphrodite started laughing, "As much as I didn't want that for him...it was the only way to keep him away from you while I killed you."

"K-kill me?..." Ichihime's amber eyes widened in disbelief.

"Soon he will be all mine." She laughed more.

"Caesar.." The younger girl looked down with her eyes watering slightly. "Please be okay.." She thought to herself, "I'm scared.."

Back to Caesar

Caesar's face was in a shadow as he rested against the lockers, panting.

"Aww did I hurt you? I'm sorry. I didn't expect that at all. Maybe I went too rough." Claudius smirked.

The white-haired teen sat there silently, ignoring the other male's words.

"I thought you were the type to talk for hours until the other person got annoyed.. I'll make you talk then." He smirked as he walked close to Caesar.

"Don't touch me..."

"Oh? So you finally decided to speak." He grabbed the teen's face.

Caesar grabbed him and flipped him over, making him land on his back roughly.

"Oww..what the hell?!"

"You really are disgusting. The two of you are perfect for each other." His blue-eyes were glowing a lighter color as dusk was setting in. "Doing whatever you must to get the job done. Even crossing that line you shouldn't be crossing. Surprised you aren't the least bit disgusted for doing that to the guy you hate the most. Maybe you would like that to happen to you wouldn't you?!"

"Has this kid gone insane?!" Claudius thought to himself and shook slightly.

"Are you scared now?" He smirked and took out the same silver plated knife as before.

"N-no please don't!"

"Why shouldn't I? You shamed me right now. There must be something I should do as revenge." Caesar laughed in a sinister tone.

"S-stop it!"

"Why are you cowering in fear now? You weren't afraid when you raped me." Caesar smirked.

"She ordered me to!"

"Oh?"

"I didn't want to do it!"

"Bullshit." Caesar kicked his face roughly.

"Oww!" The teen tried to cover his bleeding nose.

Caesar ran the knife through his hand earning a slight scream. "I endured the pain so why shouldn't you? Don't be a weakling."

"You're insane!"

"You must be blind as a bat then." The white-haired teen looked down at him, his lone eye filled with rage.

Claudius tried backing away, and Caesar stepped on his hand roughly.

He screamed out.

"Now you're running? You didn't let me go when I pleaded you to."

"Stop please!"

"Tell me where Aphrodite is..and maybe I will let you live." He put the knife to his throat.

"Okay okay! She went after the girl..she wants to kill her! Just please let me go!"

Caesar's eyes grew wide in horror. "Kill her?!"

"That's what she told me! I had to or she..."

"She would what?"

"Bail out on me.."

"She bails out when she's done with you..if you go back now she will surely do just that."

"Why..you were just.."

"Get out of here before I change my mind..I could kill you if I wanted."

"R-right!" The taller male left running.

"Ichihime..I'm coming to save you!" Caesar ran down the hall to get to the music room.

Meanwhile

The pink-haired girl was panting and her shirt was completely torn open.

"Caesar will hate you if you do this!" She cried out.

"You don't know anything! You took him away from me! I'll have him back!" She pointed the knife at Ichihime once again.

The girl shut her eyes in fear and accepted her fate. She heard a stabbing sound but, no pain anywhere. She opened her eyes again to see a figure standing in front of her.

Aphrodite's eyes widened and she looked at where her knife had stabbed. "W-why?..."

"Leave her..out of this..." Caesar's back was bleeding where she had stabbed, his arms were embracing Ichihime.

"Caesar!" Ichihime held her boyfriend as he fell in her arms.

"Why did you get in my way?!" Aphrodite pouted in anger.

"Because...I love Ichihime!" He turned back around slowly, "that means me and you..it's over! There's nothing between us anymore! Go home! Go do something with your life! I'm tired of you ruining mine! You're no longer the Aphrodite I used to love! You're a lunatic and that's all you'll ever be!"

The blonde girl looked at him in disbelief, her eyes widening in terror. She let go of the knife and tears formed in her eyes.

"Has it really...gone that far?..."

"Have you only just realized that?! You went too far the moment you cheated on me!"

"After all I've done?!" The girl cried out, "You're just going to give up?!"

"I don't want to be with you anymore...I'll seem like a psycho..I don't want that..I've only hurt everyone around me because of you.."

"I see...you're right..it would be better if I just disappeared!" She pulled the knife out of Caesar's back.

His eye widened and he groaned in pain.

"Caesar!" Ichihime watched as he fell in her lap. "Why did you pull it out?!"

"I'm..sorry!" The blonde ran out of the room.

The pink-haired girl looked down at her boyfriend who passed out from the loss of blood. "Please be okay..."

Poor Caesar.. All his dark actions are the result of all Aphrodite did to him..it's taken a toll on him.
