Chapter 2: Memory Less
It was just another day for Ritsuka. Wake up, eat breakfast, and walk to school. He did it every day alone. He had few friends but trustworthy ones at that. He's been living alone in his blank apartment ever since his brother Semei died and Soubi left. Soubi was all that was left dear to the boy after his brother's death. But all of Soubi seemed like a distant memory to the boy. After Soubi's big disappearance Ritsuka seemed dead in a way but he kept it hidden from everyone. Everyone the boy loved would disappear in a way, whether it was death or they just disappeared without a trace.
"Four years have passed and you still haven't returned, you said you would always be there when I wanted you to. What a liar." I muttered under his breath while trotting to school, trying to forget him. "Ritsuka-kun!" yelled a high, squeaky voice from far away. Before I knew it I was attacked by his dark pink haired friend Yuiko. "Hey there, Yuiko." I said trying to act surprised. "Umm…Yuiko…you do know that you are kind of on top of me and I can't stand up right?" I continued. "Gomen ne (1), Ritsuka-kun." she said while blushing realizing that I could not move because she fell on top of me.
I have known Yuiko for six years now. We met in sixth grade when I moved in to this town. She along with Yayoi soon became close friends of mines but I always kept some kind of secret from them. They were there during some parts of my life I just wanted to forget like when my mom committed suicide just because I was not the Ritsuka she knew. But they were also missing when people important to me left much like Soubi and Semei. Even though I knew them for so long it was still as if I didn't know them just like they don't know me. They never knew about Soubi neither the fact that I lost my ears a long time ago while they still have theirs. Let's just face it the Ritsuka they know is fake. Just like what my mom always told me after Semei's death. They tried to make me happy but they could never see past my mask unlike Soubi. Kuso! I have to stop thinking about him. He left me and never returned, HE lied to me countless of times and I still think about him. No matter how bad I try to forget him, I just can't stop loving him, hoping he will someday return but I know he won't. I ALMOST forgot him once but I have a collage of pictures we took on my wall and countless more pictures in photo albums. Four years of waiting for him were wasted so easily. Sigh.
We soon arrived at school and at the gate we found Yayoi waiting for us. "Hey Yayoi what's up?" said Ritsuka and Yuiko in a unison. "Nothing much. By the way, have you heard we will have a new language arts teacher for the rest of the year?" replied Yayoi. "Do you know who our new language arts teacher will be?" asked Yuiko in a confused state with all the new information. "No clue who it will be I do know it's a guy though." replied Yayoi.
We were outside the gate when the bell rang. "Trying to skip school aren't you three? Shame on you three. I hope you get caught for it,"(2)saida man rathersternly. He looked like he wasin his early twentiesand a cigarette in his mouth. He was pale with blond hair tied back into a ponytail and grey eyes (3) covered by glasses. Soon after he said that he left.
It was him. Soubi. After four years he came back. Why was he acting so weird? Could he have forgotten us? If he did, could we really be forgotten so quickly? Is he the same Soubi I knew? All of these thoughts and more were rushing through my head. I wasn't paying attention until I heard Yuiko and Yayoi's voices right after out encounter.
"Who was that man" Yuiko was the first one to ask. (4)
"I don't know." replied Yayoi.
"Ritsuka? Do you know who that guy is" asked Yuiko while snapping her fingers.
"No, not really." I replied trying to hide my sadness behind a mask.
Of course I knew who that guy was. He was my fighter unit given to me because of Semei's death. But no, Soubi is not an item; he is a human being…who just so happens to be able to send spells. I spent two whole years with him. I had never been happier in my life than in his warm embrace. Through all the good and bad times, Soubi was there to help me. In time I had grown feelings for him, feelings I never felt before. I loved him. But he left me four years ago after a fight withSOULLESS(5) and never came back. But I kept everything to myself.
We soon arrived at homeroom super late. We are so screwed. We arrived to an angry teacher who kept saying that she should have marked us absent because we were late but the bell rang a minute after we entered the class. I picked up my books and waited for Yuiko and Yayoi to pick up their things to leave.
"Wow, homeroom went by so quickly." said Yayoi while trying to balance all of his and Yuiko's books. "I know by the way what class do we have first?" I asked. Yuiko quickly replied in a confused tone "I think I have math first." "So I guess I will have language arts first?" I asked guessing. "And I have art first!" exclaimed Yayoi. So with that we went to our own classes.
End of Chapter 2

Footnotes
(2) Soubi does not remember anything from four years ago.
(3) What color are his eyes anyways?
(4) Like it was stated in the passage earlier, Ritsuka never told anyone about Soubi so neither Yuiko and Yayoi know who the man is.
(5) I made it up xP
Remember Rewiew it's only a few minutes of your life to make a girl happy.
