Tell me!
There's nothing to tell!
Bullshit!
Stop
NEVER!
The school day was over and Minato was approached by his friend Chihiro of the Justice arcana.
"M-Makoto-san..." She stutters. While Minato never quite understood, he knew that Chihiro suffered from Androphobia (fear of men) and he was the only guy she ever talked to "D-do you... Um..."
"Do I want to hang out with you?" Minato asked not wanting to make it too hard for the poor girl. Chihiro nodded "Okay, how about the cafe? That's where I normally go after school." Chihiro nodded again.
At the cafe
Time flew quickly as the two sat down and sipped their drinks. Minato wasn't one for starting conversation and Chihiro was still a little nervous around him. Actually, when Minato looked closely, she looked like she was catching something.
"...Is it just me or is the air conditioning here too strong?" Chihiro asked
"What do you mean Fushimi-san?" Minato asked with concern
"I feel a little light-headed..." Chihiro explained "I haven't been feeling well lately... I couldn't even finish my lunch today." Minato looked closer and saw that Chihiro actually looked a little pale.
"I think you may have caught a cold, Fushimi-san."
"I think you're right." Chihiro looks slightly ashamed "I'm sorry, Makoto-san, but can we go to the drug store?"
"No problem." Minato answered.
Luckily for those two, the drug store and cafe were both in Paulownia Mall and was just a few steps away. The two stopped by the fountain as Chihiro spoke up "I'll go get some medicine. I'll be right back." She said before she went inside
Hmm, she's stuttering less now. I wonder if she stutters at school because she's at school rather then the fact I'm a guy. In that case then I may actually be helping her with her phobia, that's good. Minato thought to himself
Minato waited for a few minutes by himself until he say Chihiro leave the store and started running to him until she's cut off by some male creep.
"What's your hurry, girlie?" The creep asked "Going to your boyfriend's?" Who the fuck are you?
"Wh-what do you want?" A scared and nervous Chihiro asked
"You just came out of the drug store, right?" The creep asked "What did ya buy? Hm? Hmm?!" He's very close to being hurt. Do it! Piss off. You said it yourself, you WANT to hurt him. After all, isn't she your friend?
"L-Leave me alone!" Chihiro screamed, the terror she felt was obvious "Go away!" She sent a desperate look at Minato.
Make him pay... Shut the fuck up! Minato yelled internally. Despite his own internal conflict he stood close to Chihiro standing threateningly while giving his signature glare "Leave her alone." he said while digging his nails into his left arm to keep himself under control.
"W-who are you? I-I was just... Making sure she was okay.." The creep obviously lied
"Go" Minato commanded
"R-right away." The creep said before hastily walking away. Minato could hear Thanatos growl in his mind but he ignored it. What he didn't ignore was that he could feel a hot liquid on his left arm now. Merde, I cut myself. Minato thoughtas he covered his wound with his sleeve.
"I-I'm glad" Chihiro says still a little shaken up and panting a bit "I thought you were going to hit him, Makoto-san." Well... I was pretty close.
"Relax, Fushimi-san." Minato said
"I-I wouldn't want you to... to fight because of me... But just now, you were..." Chihiro didn't seem to know how to finish
"Yeah, Minako likes to say I'm a knight in shining armor." Minato chuckled
"Y-you helped me, Makoto-san..." Chihiro didn't hide her gratitude "And I'm not scared anymore... b-but..."
"Still nervous?" Minato asked "You're just feeling a little of the aftermath of what happened, it'll go away."
"T-thank you for saving me." Chihiro thanked which made Minato slightly embarrassed
"D-don't thank me. I mean, what kind of person would I be if I didn't help?" Minato asked avoiding eye contact "Y-you should go home, you're still sick remember?"
"O-oh yes!" Chihiro must've forgotten because of what happened "E-excuse me, Makoto-san." Chihiro hastily left, most likely wanting to go to a place she'd deem safe as quickly as possible after what just happened.
Minato looked at his arm "Damn, must've been trying my hardest to keep myself under control." Minato began to walk home I should probably clean it as soon as I get to the dorm.
Minato continued his walk home until he reached an alley.
"L-Let me go!" Minato heard a female voice Again? What am I? A magnet for this bullshit?
"Now, now, I can't just leave a lady like you alone in a place like this can I?" said a male voice Dammit, I gotta do something Minato thought as he walked towards the voices.
Minato saw a girl who was wearing the Gekko school uniform and a man who Minato didn't recognize. The girl tried to run but the man grabbed her arm and pinned her to the wall "Hey, there's no need to run." The man said
"Let her go." Minato commanded. Both looked at him, the girl with desperation and the man with anger
"Beat it!" The man ordered with spite
"If you're referring to yourself as 'it', I'm more then happy to comply." Minato said with a smirk
The man grunted and drew a gun "I said beat it!" He he he... Ha ha ha... HA HA HA HA!
Minato begins to walk towards the man "I'll do it!" The man warned Remind him of his place.
Minato was close enough that he grabbed the barrel of the gun and put it against his head "A little tip : When you pull a gun on someone..." Minato took his other hand and forced the man to pulled the trigger. Rather than A bang, all that could be heard was a clicking sound. "... Make sure it's loaded."
The man pulled back as soon as Minato let go of the gun "Y-you're fucking crazy!" The man yelled
Minato chuckled and looked towards the girl "I know you. You're Minako's friend. Saori, right?" The girl nodded "You may wanna leave, it's about to get ugly." Ha ha ha ha, yes!
"T-Thank you!" Saori thanked before she dashed away.
Minato looked back at the man. "Ready to have some fun?" Ha ha ha ha! Yes! At last! Before the man could answer Minato rushed to him and punched him in the gut hard enough that he fell to his knees
"What's wrong? Can't take a punch?" Minato chuckled before grabbing the man by his hair and looking at his face "Wait, you're the man I met earlier. Small world huh?"
"C-come on! L-let me go!" The man begged
"Not yet." Minato said as he threw the man face first to the nearest wall. "We're going to have some fun first."
The man sent a fist Minato's way which Minato easily caught and began to slowly twist his arm "That all you got?" Minato asked as he put his other hand into his pocket and pulled out his knife. Upon seeing this the man attempted to kill Minato with a pistol whip which Minato dodged and stabbed the man's forearm with his knife which forced him to drop it.
As soon as the gun hit the floor Minato kicked it away and pulled his knife out of the man's arm. "Sorry, no toys." Minato said as he put his knife back in his pocket. The man tried to punch Minato again but Minato simply side-stepped to the left before charging and grabbing the man by the throat and forcing him on the ground.
"Holy shit, I've fought children tougher than this." Minato insulted before repeatedly hitting the man's face over and over until it was black and blue Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Finish it! Finish? Minato stopped and contemplated just what those words meant. You WANT to, Arisato! No... It... It isn't right. He is nothing but the scum polluting mankind. Him and his ilk should be removed from this world.
Minato stands over the beaten man. He was still awake and now literally crying in pain. I-I won't. Do it! No! Do it! No! DO IT! GET OUT OF MY HEAD!
Minato slaps the man to get his attention "I don't EVER want to see you again, understood?" The man whimpered but nodded
"If you even think about going to the authorities, remember that I have a witness to you pulling a gun on me." Minato said before walking away. I... I was about to... I almost... What's happening to me?
Damn... That uh... Didn't see that coming.
Death still has a hold over Minato. Before he was able to resist because Minato himself didn't want to fight but in this instance Minato did want to hurt the man but Death made him do... THAT.
Beating a grown man black and blue to the point of tears.
That takes effort. However Death itself mixed with someone as capable but mentally compromised as Minato doesn't exactly end well.
Another question, how'd he know the gun wasn't loaded?
He didn't. I don't remember Minato ever caring if he lived or died, the only reason he's still alive is because he had his friends literally begging him to live.
