Opposites Attract
Chapter 2: Just Another Day
By: Mystery Case
::Sakura:: (means POV)
I hate myself. Why was I born..? If I wasn't born then my parents wouldn't have died, Touya wouldn't still be in a coma, and my grandmother wouldn't feel so lonely. I visit onii-chan in the hospital when I'm not visiting my grandmother, but that's not enough…. It probably will never be enough.
Whenever I vist onii-chan my heart hurts so much, like it was being squeezed, I fear it's going to explode. That feeling might go away if I cry….
I've seen people feel so refreshed afterwards, but I don't deserve that. I don't deserve anything. Some people think I'm planning my suicide, but I'm not because, all the horrible things that happened to me is…what I deserve, it is my punishment.
Flashback: Mom and Dad's Funeral
I remember there were many people. It was like the whole city was at my parent's funeral. Everyone wore black, except my grandmother, she was wearing a weird colorful dress, there were so many colors that I couldn't name.
I wondered why, it's my parent's funeral… is she happy that my parents were killed? I got angry with my grandmother then later, at myself at the thought. I told myself that my grandmother wouldn't be happy because her eyes were full of tears.
The most I remember about the funeral was the many hateful words that the other adults were saying about me. They probably scared me for life, but then again they were true.
"Oh my, their daughter was the cause of their deaths? How horrible."
"She had a DRUG ADDICT for a boyfriend?! Tsk tsk, she must be very troublesome."
"They probably regret having her."
"WHAT?! She was helping the boy buy drugs!? What a TERRIBLE daughter…"
"Holy shit, if I had a daughter like that I would have tossed her out of the house!"
There were more, but I didn't pay attention because my grandmother grabbed my hand and yelled, "You low-lives! Talking about their daughter like she's dirt! Why are you here anyway?! Waiting to see if you got something from them?! LEAVE!"
Then she took me to the nearest washroom to clean up all my tears. "There there, don't listen to those bastards… sorry for swearing dear. You're a good child and your parents loved you lots and lots!" She smiled at me with her gentle warm smile.
My curiosity got the better of me and my mouth started moving on it's own. "Grandma, why are you wearing such a colorful dress..? Aren't you sad that mom and dad died..?"
She stared at me for a while, then hugged me. "Sakura-chan, you do know that sadness doesn't have a color right? Whatever you feel, is what you feel. If you feel sad you don't have to wear black. If your wearing something bright it doesn't change how you feel. Just because someone says something doesn't mean it's right. I have my own way of expressing my sadness, and that's through tears."
I didn't quite understand what she said then, but I felt satisfied of the answer.
Flashback EndHalf a year later my grandmother fell ill. 'Another person that's close to me is going to die… I shouldn't go close to anyone anymore, they're probably going to die if I do.' This is what I thought, and this is what I'm always going to believe.

"RING RING RING, WAKE UP NOW!" It actually said, 'ring ring ring' stupid alarm has it's own damned personality… "SHUT THE FUCK UP! I am sooo de-activating you!" Suddenly I felt something cold and wet from my pajama's to my face.
The shit alarm 'clock' did it again… "STOP POURING THIS FREEZING COLD WATER ON ME! God, how cold IS the water you pour on me!?" The monotone voice answered with, what sounded like, a bit of attitude, "one degrees Celsius, zero degrees Celsius is freezing point."
That was the last straw, I reached into my left side and felt around. "Found it." I took out a medium sized gun, my favorite gun ITY41. It's the most expensive hunk of metal out there. I aimed it at a circular clock above me. "DIE."
A hand grabbed my arm. I looked to the side and saw the family butler beside me with another one of his worried expressions. "Kinomoto-sama… you aren't allowed to use any kind of weaponry in the house.
I sighed once again, "yes.. just get that clock another personality chip please." The butler nodded, then stopped and turned around, "you better get ready quickly for school." I nodded with exhaustion.
Today we got our tests back in English and Japanese class, got 93 out of 100 on the English, and 97 out of 100 on the Japanese. Got ranked 2nd, I usually am in 1st place though, well it didn't matter as long as I'm in the top five I won't trouble my grandmother and I'll be able to get into the top university. I took the tests and put them in my binder.
"Hi, I heard you were the new transfer student. I'm the class representative and the grade ten president. Welcome to our school, I'm sorry I couldn't be here on Friday."
He didn't sound as enthusiastic as all the other people around him. He sounded like it was some kind of choir to be the representative, and to be speaking with me was a waste of his precious time.
"Thanks, but you don't have to talk to me or show me around whatever if you don't want to." He stared at me. Probably expected me to screech in excitement or something. "Oh… sorry, just that I'm a bit tired today." I sighed, which I have been doing a lot lately.
"Thanks for the excuse, you don't have to tell me why you aren't as hyped up as your usual self or whatever, cuz I DON'T CARE." Then I stood up since the bell was going to ring in about 5 seconds and started walking to the door. At the corner of my eye I saw him shrug and went back to his desk to pack up his stuff.
I yawned with all me might and stretched my arms as I walked the path that took me back to my house. I decided to take a little walk, I was feeling like a lazy bum just sitting in the limo watching the world go by. While I was stretching I saw the class rep. walking up behind me reading a book.
I couldn't read the book's title because it was in Chinese. My grandma said that I should start learning either mandarin or Cantonese, I didn't want to but I said I'd think about it. Maybe I should, it would prove very helpful.
He looked up at me, "yo….. where you going?" I made a face saying 'none of your business.' He didn't get it. "Walking home, what else?" One of his eyebrows made an arch, "and where might I ask is that? There aren't any houses for miles.." Again I sighed, is this guy that stupid, "it's not that far, about six hours by walk, for me it's three hours. If I run it'll take me two hours."
He just kept walking emotionless, "you don't have to lie you know. Where are you really going." Geez, what is up with this guy!? "Are you fucked up, I said I was going home meaning I'm going home! Are you that dumb or something!? God, why the hell are there so many morons in this world!? Does ANYONE have ANY common sense!? And why are you asking so many damn questions? Are you some kind of under cover cop paid big money to get info on me or something!?"
He looks a bit pissed, good maybe he'll leave me alone now. . . . . -fifteen minutes later- "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? Are you following me?!" He looked up again from his book, seems pretty long, "oh… your still walking in my direction? Hm… interesting."
Ok, now this is getting even more suspicious, he's taken every turn I made, every time I stop at a shop or restroom, I find him outside doing something like he was stalling. I took out my gun as fast as he could blink, or maybe faster then turned and aimed.
"What the fuck do you want? I'm not as stupid as you. If you don't want your head blown of that nice slim neck of yours quit following me!" He was taken aback. "Hey, you don't have to use your gun, I was just curious to where you were going." I eyed him, it doesn't look like he has any kind of weapon on him, but you can never be sure.
"Take off your clothes." His eyes were wide, "what….?" Idiot. "I SAID TAKE OFF YOUR CLOTHES! I'm checking if you have any weapon on you." "Eh… weapon..? What are you talking about, no one uses weapons in this place. Actually you're the only one I've seen."
"Don't wanna take off your clothes, then go to another route! There isn't even any buildings here, why are you walking in this direction!?" He looked at me for a few seconds, then got embarrassed. "Because… you look like someone, and I was wondering if you have a picture of yourself when you were about 11?"
Holy shit… I have never had one of these…. These STALKERS! I run for it, it's the only way. I don't want to kill the guy… "EH!? WAIT!" He starts running after me, Oh My God…. This guy is so persistent. "I don't even know who you are! I'm not the person you're looking for! So go away!" I see a nearby river, I jump into it and start swimming with all my ability. I look back to see if he's still there, he is but he doesn't jump in. He has a disappointed face.
I sigh in relief, oh shit… now I'm going to have to take a very very thorough bath, who the hell knows what's in these waters. I hope I don't get sick.
