Soulist

Kouji returned to school the next day, which was Friday. He was looking foward to the weekend, where he could stay in his room and no one would bother him. No fat guys or overly hyper brunettes. Just him.

As he got off the bus, someone ran into him with a soft grunt. Kouji turned around and saw the brunette. Kouji leered at him. The boy quickly gathered his own books and stood up and said to Kouji, "Hey Buuuuuddy! Why weren't you at school yesterday? Oh, and by the way, I'm Takuya Kanbara!"

Takuya offered his hand for Kouji to shake. Kouji glared at it and walked away. Takuya caught up with him and said, "Wanna meet me and my friends at the diner down the street after school?"

Kouji ignored Takuya's offer until he gripped his arm, making him stop.

"Minamoto, I'm being serious. Something big is going to happen, and we need your help. Meet us after school at that diner. I expect you there," Takuya released his grip on Kouji's arm, and walked away. Kouji was stunned at the boy's sternness. He didn't ask him to meet him, he COMMANDED him. Kouji actually was a little curious about what Takuya had to say. It wouldn't inconvience him, so he decided to go.

Kouji arrived at the diner 10 minutes before Takuya did. He waited outside and was about to leave until the hyper one called his name and introduced him to his friends.

Junpei was the fat guy who had talked to Kouji in their art class. He was a grade older than them. There was also Kouichi, and a smaller boy named Tomoki about 10 years old.

Junpei looked at Kouji suspiciously, "I don't trust him, are you sure he's the one?"

Kouichi smiled, "Of course. Don't you two agree?"

"Yah!" Tomoki cheered.

Takuya grinned, "I can tell. He's the one."

Kouji shifted his position nervously. "Erm . . ."

Kouichi's expression softened. "I think we're scaring him . . ."

Takuya clapped his hands together and said, "Aaaaaahahahaha! We should tell you what's going on, shouldn't we?"

"That WOULD be helpful," Kouji said coldly.

"But we can't," Kouichi said softly.

"Then why did you drag me out here in the first place?!" Kouji started to walk away, but Junpei stopped him.

Kouichi then held out his hand expectantly. When Kouji looked at him, confused, Kouichi smiled and said, "My flute."

Kouji's eyes widened with realization, and he said, "It's not with me."

Kouichi let his hand drop. "Go get it, I really need that flute."

Kouji saw an opportunity. "Why do you need it so badly?"

Takuya instantly saw what Kouji was trying to do, and said, "Look, we don't have time for this. Just go get the flute!"

Kouji turned to face Takuya, "Why Kanbara? What's so special about that flute?"

Takuya cringed in defeat and looked at Tomoki, then Junpei, then Kouichi. He then sighed and closed his eyes. He opened them a few minutes later and said to Kouji, "Get the flute, bring it here, and I'll tell you what's going on."

Kouji grinned with victory. He walked toward his home without looking back. Takuya glared at Kouji's back. The raven-haired boy was starting to really get onto his nerves. He turned to Kouichi. "Follow him."
