Chapter 2:
Later that morning, Kyou and Akina walked to school, hand in hand.
Kyou looked at Akina and sighed. She was staring off into the sky, obviously daydreaming.
*I wish he remembered that far back.*
~~Flashback~~
Akina was five, and it was her first day of school. She skipped along the path swinging her bright pink lunchbox, without a care in the world.
Suddenly, a boy stepped out in front of her. "Hey kid." "Don't come near me! Wh-what are you d-d-doing?" "Ya see, around here, us third graders are in charge, get it? So, what's in the lunch box?"
"Um, um, just my snack, I have s-some candy." Akina stuttered.
"WHAT! Hey guys, did ya hear that?" The boy motioned to a two other boys who came over looking just as fierce. Akina began to shiver. The first boy continued, "This girl says she doesn't have no money. Ha! You know what we do to kids without money."
The other two boys nodded and grinned evilly. Akina took a step backwards, her face filled with fear as the boys punched their hands. Without another thought, she turned and began running. The boys easily caught up with her, and the last thing she saw before her fragile body crashed to the ground was a concerned looking boy, running towards them.
That boy later told her what happened.
Once the third graders knocked her to the ground, the first boy threw his fist right into her mouth. The other two buckled over with laughter at the site of blood trickling from her tiny mouth. The second one stepped forward, and elbowed her in the eye, leaving it swelling. Water trickled out of her now blackened eye. The third one smirked, and lifted his foot. As he began to lower his foot onto her ribcage, something hit him with extreme force, and he was thrown backwards. His shirt ripped on the pavement.
All laughter stopped immediately after that. The young boy's eyes burned red as he charged at the three of them.
The last thing they saw was the red-eyed boy with extended claws lunging at their faces, and the last thing they heard was the other boys screaming in agony, before it all went black.
The boy with the red eyes stood and looked at his work: Three third graders lying in a pool of their own blood. They were still breathing; Kyou always left his victims alive.
~~End of Flashback~~
Kyou shook Akina out of her flashback, "Hey, are you ok?"
Akina blushed realizing that she had zoned out again. She turned to Kyou and kissed him lightly on the cheek. They had reached the school, and she had different classes than him.
They briefly smiled at each other, and then turned their separate ways. A moment later the bell rang symbolizing the start of school.
"Shit!" Akina heard Kyou shout as the both began running to their classes.
