RELATION & DESTRUCTION
CHAPTER III: BY BLOOD OR NAME - FAMILY
BY: AMI-CHAN & AMIE-CHAN
----------------------------------
"Really, Yum-chan. I've missed you."
Yumi and Risa walked through the full halls of the school arm in arm. Students walked in and out of their homeroom classes to talk to their other companions.
Yumi nodded and looked back to schedule with confusion.
"Oh, don't worry. You can walk with Riku and me. We have the same classes. Of course, except math." Risa and Yumi shivered. They both despised the horrendous school subject that was known as mathematics.
Yumi tilted her head, her ponytail following. "Riku? Where is she?"
"Hm? Riku....about that," Risa giggled, "She has a boyfriend. Niwa-kun. Niwa Daisuke to be more into detail."
"Ni-wa.....?"
Risa nodded, "He's in our class too. Riku is walking with Niwa-kun as we speak. Seems I'll never be able to "win" against her," Risa had muttered the last part to herself, "Anyway, this i-"
"RISA!"
"Ritsuko-chan!" Risa shrieked.
"Gomen, Risa-chan! But, I just had to tell you. Dark-san sent out a notice today. TODAY!" Ritsuko sighed dreamily into her seat.
"Dark?" Yumi curiously asked. Curiosity had been claiming her all morning.
Risa unlinked her arm from Yumi and proudly announced, "Dark-san. The legendary phantom thief!"
"Again, Risa?" Riku walked in the classroom with Daisuke walking behind her, "Really, you-" Her grip on her beige bag loosened.
"Y-Y...Yu..." Riku stuttered, her russet-red eyes stared in dismay.
Yumi waved her hand at Riku. "Ohayou, Riku-chan."
"You. You. YOU GREW OUT YOUR HAIR!"
"Nani? That's all? Ataku, Riku. I was expecting more of, "YUM-CHAN!!"," Yumi lowered her bottom lip, making a frown.
"Gomen!" Riku hopped over her bag to hug Yumi. Yumi welcomed her second hug of the morning.
'Yawn. Daisuke?' Dark stretched in the black abyss of Daisuke's mind.
'Dark? You're awake.' Daisuke responded.
'That I am, Daisuke.' Another yawn came from the mouth of Dark.
'You slept in. What happened?'
'Eh? Mmm....' Dark grinned. 'Ah, Daisuke. I dreamt well, is all.'
Daisuke twitched, partially knowing what Dark had meant. Moreover, if there was more to it - he wouldn't want to know the details.
Dark chuckled at his host's purity and innocence. 'Ah. The dream was nothing more than a date with a beautiful woman. But....an odd hair-color she had, sea-green. Hated to end it soon. An interesting and good dream than normally.'
'Do you usually not? I mean dream well.'
Dark's smirk disappeared and became silent.
'Go-Gomen, Dark..' Daisuke quickly apologized for his behavior.
'Iie.. I'll say this. I dread dreams. Dreams show me my memories. And let me tell you.....they are memories that I regret.'
"Ni-wa-kun! Niwa-kun! Snap out of it!" Risa's voice brought Daisuke back to reality.
"Na-nani?" Daisuke rubbed his eyes and blinked them. Yumi was standing in front of him, styling a happy smile.
"Finally, Niwa-kun," Riku pointed to Yumi, "Niwa-kun. Hayashi Yumi. She's been our friend since we've been born.
Risa finished the introduction, "She left the district for a while and now she's back!"
Daisuke nodded, "Ohayou, Hayashi-san."
"Niwa Daisuke, ne?" Yumi looked at him.
"H-Hai..." Daisuke responded, nervous with the heavy look Yumi gave him.
Yumi let her lips give a small smile, "Ohayou."
Riku realized something, "Wait. How'd you know his name?"
Yumi turned around and pondered for a moment. Her memory was terrible. "Ah! Risa-chan told me. Boyfriend, ne?"
Riku and Daisuke reddened.
Daisuke wanted to hide and heard Dark laugh. 'Amusing. She's considerably cute.'
'Oh dear kami. Please. Please... don't hit on Riku-san's friend.'
Dark beamed. 'Oh, why not Daisuke? She's cute. She's a female. My idealistic girl.'
'Anyone who's appealing and is a girl is your idealistic girl.' Daisuke glared.
'Exactly.'
--------------------------------------------
Naru closed her eyes and began to shut the door. However, the man was fast and held the door firmly open.
"How rude, Naru. Love, what's wrong?" He put his hand on her shoulder and rubbed them. "Tense?"
Naru jerked away and threw the trash bag at him. He lost his balance for a moment but he regained control of his feet. He placed the trash-bag down on the ground and brushed away little pieces of lettuce off his jet-black jacket.
She glared at him, "Charles-san. I suggest you leave, before I'm forced to call the police."
"Ah, but if I say I'm your hu-"
"You aren't. Now leave." She firmly stood her ground.
Charles pretended to look hurt, "Can't I see my Yum-chan?"
"No. She's at school. Leave."
"School, then? Does she have her bentou? Ah, that's a boxed lunch in Japanese Culture, correct? If she doesn't, I can-"
Naru walked to the phone, resting her hand on it.
"Charles-san. I now understand you've become rather stupid in the brain. But, I would expect you to know at least what the word 'leave' means. Shall I define it for you?"
"You always were stubborn. But that's my reason why I love you."
Naru laughed and narrowed her eyes, turning it into a more hateful glare. "'I love you' is 8 letters long, then again, so is bullshit."
Charles shook his head and sighed. He brushed his dark brown hair back with his hand.
"I'll be back. I hope this turns as romantic as I see it." Charles produced a rose from his jacket and gently placed it down on the nearby white couch. He bowed and left.
"Not the least bit romantic." Naru lifted her hand from the phone and walked to the door.
She kicked the door closed, making it slam loudly. "Bastard."
------------------------------------
"Please take your seats, everyone."
The students of the classroom scattered away from their friends and promptly placed their butts on their seats.
"As you all have probably noticed, there is a new student attending this school." The teacher looked to Yumi who was glancing outside the window thoughtfully. She cleared her throat for Yumi's attention.
Looking away from the window, Yumi noticed the whole class was looking at her. "Ah...Gomen," Yumi quickly got up and introduced herself, "Hayashi Yumi." She then lowered herself back to her chair.
"Arigatou, Yumi-chan." The teacher turned to the board and picked up a white chalk. In cursive, she wrote the words "Family Tree". She turned to the class and introduced the beginnings of their project.
"For Biology Class, I'd like everyone to do a certain project for me," She walked a few inches away from the board, " In this project, you will have to make your own family tree of...well..your family. You'll have time to do in it class, but like always...I expect you all to work at home as well. This will be worth 200 points, which will be half of your very grade. I'd like it if you colored it nicely and printed each name clearly. Include yourself as well. Any questions?"
No hands rose to inquire the project.
------------------------------
"Lunchtime!!" Takeshi grinned and rummaged through his desk. He ran to the window and sat on Yumi's seat and looked down. He revealed his camera from his huge hands and a dozen of flashes came from the camera. "That's right....pose...uh huh....."
"Takeshi? What the hell are you doing?" Daisuke watched as his friend maneuvered the camera in all sort of odd ways.
Takeshi turned around, still with the idiotic grin. "You know that girl that's with the Harada Twins?"
Daisuke blinked, "Hayashi-san?"
"Yeah, yeah...anyway. She's kawaii, ne? Ne?!?!" Takeshi turned back to the window and continued to take pictures.
Daisuke slightly twitched and rolled his eyes and went back to his home-made bentou.
-------------------------
Riku looked up the third floor of the school, observantly.
Yumi blinked, "Riku-chan? What's wrong?"
Riku dropped her head and looked back to her empty bentou. "I feel like someone's watching us. I don't know."
Risa giggled, "Riku, you worry way too much. It's not like someone's stalking us and is going to ki-"
Risa's eyes widened and quickly clanged to Yumi's arm.
Yumi turned her head to Risa, "Nani?"
"Yo-you..you don't think there's someone that's going to kidnap us?"
Yumi and Riku sweat dropped.
Riku took the role of comforting Risa, "Risa-chan, no one is going to kidnap us. Okay?"
Risa whimpered and slowly released the grasp she had on Yumi's arm.
The bush nearby them rustled and crunched. Risa whimpered once again and grabbed Yumi's arm.
"I-tai..." Yumi mumbled in pain.
Suddenly, a strange white puff attacked Risa.
Risa screamed in horror and ran away, throwing her bentou all over the cemented ground. "WHYYY, MEEE?!?!?!"
"Risa!" Riku yelled after her. She sighed and placed her bentou on the side of the bench. She got up to run after her terrified sister, but was stopped by a small purr.
"Yuki-chan! Bad, koneko!"
"Yuki?" Riku looked down to see Yumi stroking the fleece of a white furred kitty.
"Gomen, Riku-chan. Oh, look at you Yuki," Yumi sighed heavily, "Mama will be so mad with you. You're all dirty!"
Yumi opened her bag and slipped Yuki in it. "You stay there."
She stood up, "I'm so sorry, Riku."
Riku gently nibbled on her lip, "It's alright....thing is...Risa gets scared really easily....and....."
"She needs her lovely onee-chan, Riku-chan...ne? I'll help you. This is my fault."
"Arigatou. But you know....that is the most athletic I have ever seen of her."
-------------------------
Risa breathed heavily as she continued to run farther and farther from that certain bench. In fact, she was going so far, she was at the fourth floor.
Her sense of balance and movement of her feet had weakened at each floor she ran through.
She searched for a random room to rest in for a while. She was in desperate need for rest.
'Mou...why do I have to be so paranoid...?' She asked herself.
Her limp hand clasped around a cold doorknob. She turned it slowly and used her last ounce of strength to push the heavy door open.
Then, she heard her name called out by a vague, yet familar voice.
"...Harada?" Satoshi called her name in a questioning tone for the third time.
"Hi...wa...tari..-k...u..." Risa completely blacked out.
