HighSchool Of The Dead
Path Of Carnage
Chapter 3: Confessing
Once the music had stopped Miyonji looked to the ground as the crowd cheered loud. "As always, he delivered." Hisashi said. Rei nodded "Yeah he did, but that was different from what he usually does. Miyonji's not being himself." She stated.
"I think we all knew that, even I knew that and I just got here," Alanze said.
"Alright Miyonji! That's what I'm talking about!" Morita yelled. Imamura smirked and closed his eyes "For a second there, I thought he was going to bail on us." He replied.
Once they left the gym the announcer came back on. "Well that was an outstanding performance if I do say so myself, but there can only be four winners today, and I have the results right here. These are coming straight from the man himself… Jerry if you would be so kind." The announcer said.
Jerry nodded and walked up to the middle of the Gym and smiled "I have decided on the four teams and they go as followed first is Team Hart, the jokes were amazing." Jerry Said. "I'm Sick James Trick!" The boy called out.
"Next up is Team Breakers, I had an amazing time watching you all dance" He called out as a team of dancers held their hands up as the crowd cheered.
"Now the third team, even though there was songs being used as disses and dedications, I actually don't mind a good musical battle so you guys got my attention with that I'm choosing Team New age." Tsunoda and Miku high fived each other as the other team members cheered.
"And last but not least, this choice was my greatest choice of all. I enjoyed the passion this team put in and I could feel the emotion coming from the singer, Team Black Rose is in as well." He announced which made the whole gym cheer. Morita and Imamura jumped in excitement as Miyonji smiled at them and then looked to the ground.
He glanced at Saya who was looking dead at him and slowly brought his head back down. As the people continued to cheer Kyoko Hayashi, a teacher in the school walked into the gym and headed straight for Miyonji. "Mr Sueenji I need to speak to you." She said.
Miyonji looked at her and sighed knowing what she wanted to talk about. He followed her out of the Gym and Morita and Imamura watched as he left. Saya and the others had noticed this as well and looked at each other wondering what it could be about. They walked over as everyone began to pile out of the gym, meeting up with Morita and Imamura to wait for Miyonji.
Miyonji and Kyoko had reached her classroom and walked inside. She sat down behind her desk and looked at him "Grab a chair and sit at my desk Miyonji." She said. Miyonji did what he was told and grabbed a chair. Once he was sitting down she sighed and looked at him "I'm pretty sure you know why I called you here Miyonji." She said.
Miyonji leaned back in his chair and looked at her "I have an idea." He responded. Kyoko fixed her glasses and looked at him "Then you know that your grades are slipping and that's not good you're a second year in this school and you need to get your grades up if you ever want to graduate." She scolded.
Miyonji didn't say a word he just let her talk and listened to what she had to say."Miyonji, you know I'm good friends with your mother, she tells me everything so I know a lot about you. I even know about-"
Miyonji face cut her off when he showed her a bit of anger. "Miyonji… don't let it mess up your future. I know it must be bothering you but you can't let it bring you down. I'm looking to see better grades from you okay?" She asked.
Miyonji slowly nodded and then stood up "Remember what I said Miyonji… Don't let it get you down." She said. Miyonji didn't answer; instead he just walked out of the door and left her classroom. Kyoko sat back in her chair and looked to the ceiling "Maybe you're right Hinata, maybe she is the only one that can bring his old self back." She said to herself.
Miyonji walked to his locker and grabbed his bag. Once he did that he headed out the doors and left the school. He walked down the street and turned the corner. It was a silent walk for Miyonji, there was no one to talk too. He would usually walk with Takashi, Morita and Imamaura but today he didn't feel like it.
Ten minutes had passed and Miyonji was still walking home. He walked by a Car shop that had a lot of beautiful cars. He closed his eyes and remembered something his brother had said to him.
'When you get a car I want to ride with you big brother.' Is all that went through his mind. Miyonji shook his head and walked inside the building. When he got inside he saw a man sitting at a desk with a smile on his face "Well hello there. How may I help you good sir?"
Miyonji walked over to the desk and smiled "I'm looking for your best car. I'm not really worried about the price." Miyonji said. The man raised an eyebrow and looked at Miyonji closely "Not worried about the price huh? Well then let's take a look shall we?" He asked as he stood up.
Miyonji followed him inside a garage where people were able to see inside and Window shop. He brought Miyonji to a silver round topped 2011 Bentley, the car had automated windows with a v6 engine. The entirior was smooth real leather with a chrome finish and brand new tires on the car. Miyonji looked at the car, the price on it was $50,000 but it didn't seem to faze him.
"This is your best car?" Miyonji asked curiously. The man scratched his head nervously "I mean this is my stores best for right now, and you did say you didn't mind about the price."
"Don't you have anything better, like a customized one?" Miyonji asked. The man looked at Miyonji and put his hand on his head and chuckled "Let me guess, this is your first time inside a car shop?" He asked. Miyonji nodded which made the man chuckle again.
"Well you won't find anything like that in a car shop." He stated. Miyonji was about to walk away until the man spoke up. "But… I do have a customized Benz that that I'm selling at my place. I can show you a picture of it. It's truly beautiful I just imported it last week." He said.
"Now that sounds like a car I'm looking for." Miyonji stated as the man pulled out his phone. Once he did that he clicked on pictures and showed Miyonji the car. It was a silver Mercedes Benz with a downward curved nose, suicide doors and silver rimmed tread red with clear tires. the interior was true leather and the steering wheel was sterling silver. The bottom of the car had a low light sky blue.
"It's a beauty right? Don't worry about the hood, it converts the hood from the back of the car.
Miyonji's eyes went wide when he saw the look of the car "How much do you want for this?" Miyonji asked.
The man smiled at Miyonji "The price is high I'm looking for $600,000 but I'm pretty sure you wouldn't-"
"I'll take it." Miynoji replied which made the man's eyes go wide. "You did just hear the price I said right?" He asked
"Yes and I said I'll take it." Miyonji repeated.
Later that day, Miyonji arrived home and noticed that his parents were standing outside talking. He pulled up in the Garage which made them wonder who it was that was driving the car and why they just pulled inside their gates and into the garage.
When Miyonji stepped out of the car, his mother gasped "Miyonji!" She said in shock. "Yeah?" he asked as if nothing was going on. "Son, where did you get the car?" Kento asked. Miyonji smiled I bought it from the dealer at the car shop near Onbetsu bridge." He responded. His mother inspected the car looking inside "Is this car legit?" His father asked.
Miyonji nodded "Yeah, the dealer allowed me to do a background check on the car; there was no way I was going to spend $600,000 on a car that is stolen." Miyonji replied.
His mother's eyes went wide "What?! But how did you get all that-"
"Dad's been giving me $2000 allowance every month right? Well for five years now I've been saving all of it even my birthday money and Christmas money." Miyonji said. Kento and Hinata looked at each other and then hugged their son "We're so proud of you! You made an adult decision and saved your money, and now you were able to buy a car on your own." Hinata said.
"Did you get it registered and insured son?" His father asked. Miyonji nodded and showed them his paper work and his license plate. The plate read 'Yuka' in the middle which made his parents look at Miyonji. "You're a good brother Miyonji." Hinata said. Miyonji nodded and was preparing to walk inside the house.
"Miyonji wait a minute."
Miyonji heard his mom and turned to look at her. "I got a call from Kyoko, she said your grades are dropping, and I'm not too happy about that." She said.
Miyonji didn't say a word he did the same thing he did to Kyoko and just listened. "Miyonji, school is very important, no matter what you're going through right now, graduating should always be your number one priority." His father added.
Hinata nodded at Kento's words "Miyonji, letting the past get to you is starting to ruin your-"
"It doesn't matter anymore. So just stop bringing it up." Miyonji said in a cold tone. This shocked both his parents when they heard his voice.
"M-Miyonji!" Hinata exclaimed in shock. 'I knew it wasn't my imagination, he's changing, and not for the better.' Kento thought to himself.
Miyonji gave them a serious look as he looked at them "I'm dropping out of school and-"
Before Miyonji could finish his sentence, he was slapped across the face by his mother who had a disappointed look on her face.
"Don't you dare sit here and throw away all the success you've made. You grew into a fine young man, don't you dare tell me that you're going to throw it all away. I will not allow it, do you hear me young man." His mother scolded.
Miyonji's eyes said it all when he looked at her. It was a cold stare, a look you give to someone when you're fed up with life.
Miyonji didn't say a word instead he walked inside the house and into his room locking it behind him. He was pushing away anyone at this point and didn't know why. Was he bitter about the past or was it something else that was bothering him.
The next day Miyonji had appeared at school, despite what he said to his mother. When he arrived at school everyone was crowding round his car.
"MIYONJI!"
Miyonji was soon grabbed by Imamura and Morita who had Takashi behind them. "Where in the world did you get a car like this and how did you get it? It looks like the fucking Bat Mobile!" Morita exclaimed.
"I bought it." He replied. Morita eyes went wide before looking back at the car "It must be amazing being rich." He said.
Miyonji shook his head "It's not the fact that I'm rich that got me this car. I saved my money for five years." He replied.
"To think that five years would get you this." Takashi said as he checked out the car. "Guys you can check out my car, we have to get to class soon. Miyonji said. Takashi and the others nodded and walked inside with him.
On the second floor, Saya, Rei, Alanze and Shiko were looking out the window, observing the car. "It looks amazing. God I love sexy cars!" Alanze squealed. Shiko nodded "It is something; I can't believe he had that type of money for a car like that." Shiko said.
"Miyonji gets $2000 a month from his parents so it's not impossible." Saya stated.
"Are you going to try and get him back, now that he has a car?"
Saya and the others turned around to see Miku standing behind them. Saya smirked and crossed her arms "No slut, I'm not you, I don't date guys just because they have material things." She said.
"You say that now, but I know you're lying Takagi… just know this, he's single and free. That means you have no say if I go after him" Miku said.
"I don't care if you do or don't, but I do know he wouldn't give you the time of day. Sueenji doesn't go for sluts, plain and simple." Saya said.
Miku growled at her and clenched her fist "You better watch your mouth."
"No you better watch yours bitch." Alanze chimed in, sticking up for her best friend. Rei took a step forward as well, ready to back up Saya if need be.
"Whatever..." Miku mumbled as she walked away. The three girls watched as she left and then looked at each other for a moment and then began laughing.
Later that day sixth period had come around and Miyonji and Takashi had met up at their usual spot, the outside staircase that led to the second floor. "I swear the stress is getting to me day by day." Takashi said.
Miyonji leaned on the rail next to him and nodded "I know exactly what you mean I've been stressed out too." Miyonji replied.
"I can tell, especially with that song you did yesterday. It basically told us all that you just hate your life right now." Takashi said.
It went quiet for a second and nobody said a word, they just looked to the sky trying to clear their minds.
"So what do you want to tell me?" Takashi asked. Miyonji's eyes widened as he looked over to Takashi who was smirking.
"I'm not dumb, I know when there's something on your mind so what's up?" Takashi asked.
Miyonji stayed silent for a moment and then sighed. How was he going to be able to tell Takashi the news? It wasn't going to be easy he could feel it. "Takashi…"
Takashi didn't say a word, he wanted to hear what Miyonji had to say so he stayed quiet. Miyonji took a deep breath and then looked at him "I'm dropping out." He said.
Takashi's face slowly turned from calm to shocked, was he for real? Takashi was lost for words, what could he say to that? Was there anything he could say?
"Why would you do that?" He asked.
Miyonji looked up to the sky and sighed "You know why." He responded. Takashi shook his head "Miyonji don't let it-"
"I can't do it anymore!" Miyonji yelled. Takashi's eyes went wide when he heard Miyonji raise his voice.
"I'm stressed I can't deal with this anymore. I tried to tell myself over and over again, it'll be alright, I'll be able to move on and things will be normal. But I can't go back to being normal anymore; everything in my life is fucked up. I've lost two people I cared about the most and I can't ever get them back. Do you know how that feels?" He asked as he looked at Takashi with a pained look on his face.
Takashi couldn't say anything, he knew Miyonji had to be going through a lot. He couldn't say yes, even though he lost Rei, but it was his fault she left and he couldn't compare his pain to Miyonji's
Miyonji shook his head and started to walk away "I gotta go." He said as he walked down a few steps. "Miyonji, don't make a decision you might regret!" Takashi yelled out. Miyonji continued to walk away "See you around…" was the last thing he said before he was out of sight.
Takashi couldn't believe it; Miyonji really just walked out and wasn't looking back. He had to do something but what could he do? Takashi gritted his teeth and ran up the stairs and inside the school.
Takashi ran down the halls looking for a certain classroom. He had a serious expression on his face as he made his way towards the room he was looking for. Thoughts were going through his mind and he began to worry. Was this going to be the last time he and Miyonji would ever see each other? Something had to be done; this couldn't be held off any longer.
He quickly opened the classroom door which made everyone in the classroom look at him. The teacher was sitting at his desk talking to Kyoko. They turned their attention to him and did not look to happy.
"Komuro, if you're going to skip my class then can you try not to come and disturb it?" The teacher asked.
"He shouldn't be skipping it anyway! Komuro if this continues, then I'm going to have no choice but to take action. You were on the right track when you first started coming here. But I don't know what changed over the year." Kyoko said.
Takashi ignored them both as he had his eyes stuck on to one person… Saya Takagi. Saya looked at him and raised an eyebrow, wondering what the stare was all about. Takashi walked over to her and stood in front of her.
"Go get him."
Saya was taken aback by this statement; she looked into his eyes and said nothing.
"I said go get him!" He yelled
"Komuro!" Kyoko exclaimed. But she was stopped by Saya who glared at him. "Who are you to order me around? I'm not Miyamoto, you're not going to raise your voice at me and think I'm going to do as you say." Saya scowled.
Rei looked down at the ground and Shiko and Alanze noticed this. "Takashi, what do you mean by go get him? Did something happen to Miyonji?" Alanze asked. Kyoko and the teacher were shocked by this, it was as if they weren't even there. They could have intervened by now but the conversation seemed like it was leading to something.
"He's leaving." He said, not even turning to look at her. "Leaving? What do you mean leaving? Komuro?" Kyoko asked.
"I mean he's leaving this school. What else could it mean? He's dropping out of school." He replied.
"But how do you know this? You can't assume something like that, unless you have proof. " Rei said. Takashi looked at her "I was just with him. He told me he's dropping out and he would see me around. He left school grounds, he isn't here anymore." Takashi stated.
"Why didn't you stop him?!" Alanze exclaimed in anger as she stood up. Takashi turned to look at her "What the hell do you think I've been doing for the past 15 minutes. He brought it up and I tried to convince him not to do it."
"So you came to me thinking I was going to give a damn?"
Takashi's face slowly turned back to face Saya's. Without warning Takashi grabbed her collar and lifted her out of her chair. "How dare you sit here and say that you don't care!" He exclaimed.
"Komuro!" Kyoko exclaimed. Takashi ignored her, his eyes and attention was only on Saya. "Why should I? He left me and never looked back. Why should I give a damn about someone like that?" She asked. Takashi sighed and looked to the ground.
"Takagi, he didn't leave you to hurt you. When he left, his intentions were good." He explained. Saya looked to the side and gritted her teeth. Why was he going this far? What could she do to stop him?
"Saya he's telling the truth."
Saya turned to see Alanze looking down at the ground. She had a hurt expression on her face along with Shiko and Rei. Saya looked at the two of them for a moment before finally catching on to what was going on. "So you all knew..." She said.
"Saya-" Alanze started.
"You all knew!" She yelled. This outburst cut deep into Alanze ,Rei and Shiko's hearts. They were feeling like they betrayed her, even though it wasn't there intentions they still felt guilty.
"Takagi don't be so hard on them." He said. This earned him a glare from her, the anger she was feeling was more than furious. "You knew as well Komuro! You're just as much of jerk as 'he' is!" She exclaimed.
"We didn't tell you because Miyonji told us not too!" He yelled. Saya looked at him with a shocked expression. "He didn't want us to tell you for reasons I can't say, but I will say this, he left you for a good reason. He's regretting it now, but hurting you was not his intention. Go and talk to him if you want to find out the reason." He explained and put her down.
Saya looked to the side and for the first time had a saddened expression her face. This was starting to get to her, could she actually go through with what Takashi was suggesting? How could she face Miyonji after what happened between them?
He put a hand on her shoulder and looked into her eyes "Saya… If you don't want to live in regret of not knowing. If you don't want him to leave and never come back, then now is the time to stop him." Takashi stated.
Kyoko looked at the both of them and sighed "I don't know what's going on here, but it sounds like one of my best students is planning to leave my school for good and I can't have that. Komuro are you sure that sending Takagi after Sueenji will bring him back?" She asked.
Takashi finally looked at Kyoko and nodded "Once she finds out what happened a year ago, I'm sure she'll be able to work things out with him and get him to stay in this school." He replied.
Kyoko sighed and then looked at Saya who was looking down at the ground "Takagi." She called out. Saya looked over at her awaiting her next response. "It's the last class of the day and you're already marked in as present. If you're really up to it, then I'll let you go, so you can figure things out with Sueenji but only this once. Starting tomorrow I don't want this being brought back up and disrupting classes." She stated.
Saya turned around which caught Takashi's attention. He gritted his teeth and narrowed his eyes at her "Takagi are you-"
"I'm going to get the idiot so shut up!" She exclaimed. She picked up her bag and began to walk out of class, which left some students a little upset, seeing as they wanted to leave as well. As she stood in the doorway she kept her eyes forward "What you just told me better be the truth Komuro." She stated before closing the door.
Takashi sighed and then put his hands in his pockets and was about to walk out the room until Kyoko stepped in front of him. "Seeing as you're here Komuro, you can finish the last class of the day. You'll also be staying for detention as well." She said with a smile.
"Wait what?!" He asked in a tone of disbelief. Shiko laughed "Don't worry Takashi, even if you have detention, you still did a good thing in the end." She replied. Takashi sighed and nodded "Yeah I guess so, they just better not come back until everything is fixed." He said. Alanze looked at Rei, "Even the heros get punished." She smirked folding her arms and Rei looked down a bit.
Saya began running down the halls and down a few stairs before heading out the door. She then stopped in her tracks once she made her way down the street. "Where do I even begin looking?" She asked herself. She thought to herself for a moment and then got an idea.
She reached into her bag and pulled out her pink cellphone and dialed a few numbers. She heard the phone beginning to ring and a waited for someone to answer.
"Hello?"
"Mrs. Sueenji, it's me Saya." Saya said.
Hinata eyes went wide for a second, shocked to hear Saya's voice. "Saya, it's good to hear from you. It's been awhile." She said in a cheerful voice.
"It's nice to hear from you as well Hinata. But I have a question to ask, is it true that Miyonji is trying to drop out of school?" She asked.
Hinata sighed and nodded as she sat in the break room of her job, "Yeah he came to me about it. We got into an argument because of it. I told him that I wasn't going to allow him to make a decision he might regret." She stated.
Saya looked to the ground and showed a sad expression on her face "That idiot. Why is he going this far? He left just now, and I'm looking for him. Why is he being an idiot, I just can't understand him anymore. He's not the same guy I once knew." She looked to the side with a disappointed look on her face.
"Saya… Listen, something terrible happened to Miyonji a year ago. When he left you, he wasn't himself. To be honest he hasn't smiled since that day. He told me, his father, his friends and even your parents not to tell you what happened. But I think it's time you find out about it. I would tell you myself, but I think it's better for him to tell you." Hinata said.
"Do you know where he is?" Saya asked.
Hinata smiled and sighed "Come on Saya, where does Miyonji always go when he has things on his mind?" she asked.
Saya didn't even need to think very hard as one place popped into her head. It was so obvious, why didn't she think of it before?
"I'll call you back once I talk to him. I don't know what's going to happen but if everyone is really wanting me to talk to him then I'll do it. Besides I've been seeing a lot of change in him and I want to know what it's about, I want to know why he left and why he decided to throw everything away." Saya explained.
Hinata nodded "I hope you can get through to him, I've told him countless times to tell you the truth but he insisted on leaving you in the dark. Well I have to get back to work, good luck Saya and call me anytime you need me." Hinata said.
Saya nodded "I will Hinata, thank you, bye." She replied. She hung up her phone and sighed before nodding and heading down the street.
Fifteen minutes later Miyonji sat on a swing in a park near his home. He was staring at the ground as if he had something on his mind. He wasn't talking nor was he moving. He was troubled by everything that has happened so far. He felt like he brought this upon himself, he felt like it was his fault this all happened. "What the hell should I do?" He said to himself knowing that anyone would hear him seeing as he was the only one in the park.
"You should stop being an idiot!"
Or maybe he wasn't the only one there. He knew that voice all too well, but he was confused on why he was hearing the voice. Without even turning to look he said "I'm not being an idiot Saya, I'm just clearing my head."
Saya stood there with an annoyed look on her face "Clearing your head is one thing, running away is another. You're a real idiot for thinking that running away was going to solve anything." She lectured. Saya was really digging into him and he could see it.
"Running away?" he asked.
"Don't play stupid with me Sueenji, I know that you're planning on dropping out. Even when you know Hinata isn't having it, you're planning to drop out anyway, like an idiot would." She explained.
Miyonji heard what she said and sighed as he stood up. "I'm going." He said. As he began to walk away she gritted her teeth. "So you're going to walk away from me again and not tell me anything?" she asked.
Miyonji stopped and looked back at her, his eyes were empty. It was as if he was stripped of his happiness. You could see the pain on his face; his heart was getting colder and colder. He turned around and was about to walk away when he felt a tug at his sleeve.
"You're not walking away from me Miyonji, I want to know what's been making you act this way, I want to know why you left me that day." She demanded.
"So now we're using my first name? Listen Saya, don't worry about it. This has nothing-"
Miyonji was cut off by the sound of a hand hitting his face. Saya smacked him as hard as she could, the impact made Miyonji grit his teeth a bit in pain. The two stayed silent for a moment, not saying a word. He looked at her and saw a tear roll down her cheek. He knew this was his fault and he didn't want it to come to this.
Miyonji sighed and turned around "If you really want to know then follow me." He said.
She looked at him and shook her head "Why do we need to leave? Why can't you just tell me right here?" She asked. Miyonji turned his head towards her "Because, it's better for you to see then hear." He replied. Saya looked at him once more and then nodded before following him to his car.
Once they got inside the car, Miyonji started it up and headed down the road. The drive was silent, no one said anything or better yet, they didn't know what to say. Saya looked out the window watching the trees and buildings pass by. Miyonji could see her reflection in the mirror and noticed that she still looked sad. He then looked away, focusing on the driving.
Once the car stopped near a sidewalk, Miyonji got out of the car along with Saya. She waited to see where he was going and noticed that he was walking inside of a cemetery. This shocked her, why did he need to bring her here? Saya slowly followed him inside the cemetery.
"Miyonji, why are we here?" She asked. Miyonji didn't say anything he just continued to walk which worried Saya. Drops of water started to fall from the sky, hitting them on the head. "It's raining." She said to herself.
She noticed all the graves on the ground; it's been a long time since she's been in a graveyard. Last time she was just a child the last time she was in a graveyard when one of her relatives had passed away.
Miyonji had finally stopped walking and looked at the ground. The rain started to pour, soaking them both which didn't please Saya at all.
Sound of thunder started to form and with one clap, it made Saya's body shiver and tremble. "Miyonji, the weather isn't getting any better. Tell me why we're here already." She demanded.
Miyonji didn't say a word still, this time he just walked onto the grass and walked pass a few graves. Saya did not move a muscle she watched as he finally stopped and kneeled down in front of a grave and put his hand on it. "I'm such an idiot, this is my fault." He said to himself.
Saya heard his words and knew that this must be what he brought her here to see. She slowly walked over to him and the grave as the thunder continued to clap.
Once she finally made it to him her eyes went wide and her breathing started to get heavy. She was lost for words at the name she just saw. She had to be dreaming, there's no way she was reading it right. But regardless how much she wanted it to change, the name remained the same on the grave… Yuka Sueenji.
Tears started to roll down her eyes as now everything was making perfect sense. She looked down at Miyonji and saw something she only saw once in her life… tears on his face.
Miyonji was crying; he leaned his head against the grave as he was now down on both his knees "What kind of brother am I? I couldn't even save the one brother I had. You died because I wasn't there!" He exclaimed.
Saya heard his words and knew that Miyonji was hurt, this was different from the other time when he cried, this was nothing but pain and sorrow. Tears continued to come down her eyes no matter how hard she tried to fight them back "M-Miyonji how did this happen?" She asked in a worried tone.
"Last year, my brother was gunned down by a man who wanted vengeance on our fathers. I don't know all of the details but I know that it had something to do with jealousy and being upset that he couldn't get with our mothers. A man named Reyori who went to high school with our parents' way back." He explained.
(Flash Back)
Miyonji began walking down the street heading to his house. When he got to his house he seen Takashi and Shiko standing there. "Hey guys, what are you doing here?" he asked. No one said a word, Shiko had a sad expression on her face while Takashi looked angry. "Um guys, why isn't anyone saying anything? Shiko what's wrong? Why do you look so sad?" he asked but he still got no reply.
This was starting to scare him "Okay guys what's going on? You guys are acting like someone died or something?" he said. Takashi then looked up while tears were coming down Shikos face, "We have to go to the hospital...It's your brother...He was shot." Takashi said. Miyonji's world froze he couldn't believe what he had just heard. Without even thinking he sprinted to the hospital along with Shiko and Takashi who were right behind him. He had never ran so fast in his life his heart was beating a mile a second he couldn't hear anything his eyes were beginning to blur from tears threatening to escape.
Once he got there he was put into the waiting room with his mother and father. "Miyonji!" they both said in unison as they saw him. Hinata ran up to her son and hugged him tightly she knew exactly what he was going through. Emotions were running high inside of Miyonji after learning what happened to his little brother. "How the hell did this happen? Who did this?" he asked in complete rage. His father looked to the ground he knew exactly who did it, "It was...Reyori." Kento answered. Miyonji then let go of his mother and looked at his father. "You know this person?!" he asked, Kento nodded his head.
The doctor then came into the room, everyone looked at him awaiting to hear what he had to say. "How is he doctor? Is my baby boy going to be alright?" Hinata asked. The doctor closed his eyes "He was shot in the chest and the bullet hit his heart... I'm sorry, we've tried everything we could."
The words echoed in Miyonji's ears as he fell to his knees. His heart ached, every fiber in his body began to shake in anger and in pain. His eyes clouded with tears, as his head hung low. A tear or two dropped to his lap his breathing slowed. The world went dark his mother's' sobs echoed in his ears, breaking him. He couldn't believe that his little brother was dead, he clenched his teeth as the doctor looked down and walked out of the room. He stood slowly his eyes wide with shock as he looked over to his mother crying and grabbing on to his father, he could also hear Shiko crying as world was spinning, and suddenly pain turned into anger burning like a fire in his chest.
"What was the cause of all this? What made him do such a thing?" Miyonji asked with anger in his voice.
Kento looked down at the ground "He really hated me back in the day for dating Hinata and Yuirko. He challenged us to a fight... of course we won and he swore on his revenge but that was when we were back in high school. So many years ago... I know he lived around here and I heard he had a wife and kid but …" he paused and then continued.
"The teacher showed me a picture of the person on her phone that she was able to take when the person tried to run off. It was him but what I want to know is why? Why did it have to come to this!? Why kill someone's child!?" he asked begging for answers as he squeezed his wife.
Miyonji shook in anger fists clenched knuckles turning white. "So a love sick maniac killed my brother, over jealousy?!" he said. Kento nodded his head, Miyonji whipped around having his back face his parents "Where does he live?" Miyonji asked in a serious tone. Hinata stopped crying she knew exactly what Miyonji was about to do.
"Miyonji you can't, I won't allow…" she said but he cut her off "Where does he live!?" he yelled, causing people to start staring. Kento looked at his son "He lives across the street from Shiko, but I doubt he's there. He's got to be somewhere hiding...but son going after him is not going to make things better. Revenge is NEVER the answer." Kento stated. Miyonji then walked towards the door getting ready to leave "If he's not there then I'll kill his child! That should be payback enough... an eye for an eye...a loss for a loss" Miyonji said in a dark tone.
Takashi then grabbed Miyonji's shoulder "Miyonji listen to yourself man, do you hear what you're saying? You're really going to kill an innocent child that has nothing to do with this? If you do that then you'll be just like him! A sick sadistic criminal, is that what you want?" Takashi asked.
Miyonji turned to look at him and gritted his teeth "What else am I suppose to do? I'm not letting him off easy by having him just go to jail, he has to die, and if he doesn't then someone close to him is taking his place!" Miyonji said. Just as he made his comment, a police officer nearby came towards him "That would be a bad idea kid, killing anyone is a serious crime that could get you life behind bars no matter if it's revenge. The best thing to do is to leave this to the authorities." he said.
This caused Miyonji's body to shake which was noticed by everyone. Moyonji started to breathe heavy and with all his might he punched the wall near him in anger. He then started to cry and break down falling to his knees again. Takashi hugged his friend keeping him tight in his arms, trying to comfort him as much as he can letting Miyonji cry as long as he needed to.
(End Of Flash Back)
"He was going to kill you and I next. I broke up with you because I know that when I'm with you, I tend to drop my guard. I didn't want you to be killed. So I left so I could get to him, but of course me killing him would have gotten me arrested, and in the end that would have tarnished your name. But as fate would have it, he turned himself in, which means all the things I did to get him, were for nothing." He added.
Saya listened to every word he said, not trying to interrupt him at all. "What kind of brother am I? I wasn't there when Yuka needed me the most! I wasn't there for him; I wasn't there for him at all!" Miyonji started to have a mental breakdown in front of her.
Miyonji punched the ground as the rain poured on him "It's my fault he's dead and it's my fault I ended up this wa-"
"Miyonji!" Saya exclaimed as she ran over to him and grabbed his shoulder trying to calm him down but he continued to break down and punch the ground. She could see his hands starting to turn red from punching the ground so hard. "Miyonji stop!" She demanded. She held onto him tightly, hoping her touch alone would calm him down.
Tears continued to come down his cheek but he held still, "Miyonji, no matter what, I'm sure Yuka knows that it wasn't your fault. He wouldn't want you to beat yourself up like this." She explained, trying to keep herself calm as well. Tears ran down her face, but she knew that one of them needed to be calm.
Feeling her touch was soothing, he was still hurting inside. Saya held him tight trying to comfort her as much as possible. She felt horrible, realizing that she was treating him like the enemy when he was trying to protect her. His body stopped shaking and she put her head against his as the rain continued to soak them head to toe.
Miyonji finally got himself to calm down a little. He slowly began to stand up and Saya noticed this, "Where are you going?" She asked with a sniffle. "We've said all we've needed to say right? I've told you everything that needed to be told. I'm going…" He said.
"No! Don't go!" She exclaimed. She grabbed his arm and held on tight which made him turn to look at her. He noticed the tears coming down her beautiful eyes. He was trapped; there was no escape from this. "I'm sorry, for everything I said. I don't want you to leave, Miyonji please don't leave me again!" She cried out. Her eyes continued to drop tears down her cheeks.
"Saya…" Is all he could say as he gently grabbed her cheeks and pulled her face closer to his. He pressed his lips onto hers and shared a long overdue kiss with her. Her eyes went with wide for a second from the shock, he was kissing her. He was really kissing her! This was something she had been missing for twelve months. The two of them slowly fell to their knees as they continued to kiss.
She could feel the warmth from his lips, it was pure bliss. It was like her body was melting and she couldn't move at all. Once they broke apart they laid their foreheads on one another. "Miyonji…" She called out. "Hm?" He asked. "I-I don't want to be alone tonight, can I stay with you?" She asked.
Miyonji's eyes went wide for a second before a tear came down his eye and his body started to shake a little. "Saya." Is all he could say as he wrapped his arms around her and hugged her tight. "Sure. Anything for you." He responded as the two sat in the rain holding each other not wanting to let go ever again.
