What was that?" Minato asked himself. "I killed him in my dream. How the hell did that blood appear in real life?"
"Minnie-kun!" Hamuko sang and Minato cringed.
He quickly turned around with a glare "Stop calling me that dammit." Minato spat.
"Aw come on! That name is cute." Hamuko pouted as the teens walked towards the school. Ever since Minato returned to Iwatodai, he only walked to school with Hamuko. He openly told Yukari to get lost from his sight once she asked him.
"Good morning." Mitsuru's elegant voice reached the teens as they stopped and she stepped out from a limo. Hamuko saluted her senpai while Minato ignored her.
"Good morning Arisato and Marie." Mitsuru greeted gracefully.
"Morning senpai!" Hamuko smiled brightly.
"Yeah." Minato gave a mere nod in response.
"I trust that you two have joined a club?" Mitsuru asked.
Hamuko nodded. "Yep! Tennis club."
Mitsuru smiled "Excellent. What about you Arisato?"
"I haven't." Minato replied dully.
"Why not?" Mitsuru asked.
"I just don't want to." Minato answered back in a second. Mitsuru crossed her arms "That is foolishness! You must join a club."
Minato shot her a glare. "You're starting to annoy me." He said with an emotionless voice. Hamuko started to panic, since she could sense Minato's anger growing.
"Hmph. Don't you understand? Extra-curricular activities are a must for anyone. Especially since you also explore Tartarus. I want you to join a club today." Minato shook his head and grabbed his bag.
"Piss off." He snarled.
With that comment, he walked off leaving both of the girls behind. Mitsuru's eyes twitched a tad bit as she massaged her temples. "Arisato is very difficult to work with." She sighed.
"Don't worry senpai. I'll get him to join a club." Hamuko assured her.
"Well good luck." Mitsuru sighed and walked ahead.
"If only you guys could know why he is like that." Hamuko looked at the ground. "I owe him for saving me. If he didn't shove me out of the way I would have ended up just like him."
Hamuko cringed. "He took that all upon himself."
"But who was the one that sealed Death? Why was something like that roaming the streets?" Hamuko asked herself. What the fuck is Death exactly? With that final thought, she started walking towards the school.
"I wish I could free him." Hamuko flinched as Minato was yelling at a girl who most likely was trying to flirt with him.
"Bitch." Minato spat and walked ahead, leaving the girl crying. Hamuko sighed. Despite what Minato did, she just couldn't bring herself to hate him.
"Guess its guilt." Hamuko chuckled and walked into class. Minato laid his head down as usual and then began to sleep in class. As usual she began petting him until Minato told her to stop.
"Why the hell do I feel happy when she does that?" Minato asked himself.
"Really?" Hamuko grinned, making Minato flush from embarrassment. "You like it when I pet you?" She asked.
Minato stammered, "Of course not! I was talking about something else." He looked away.
"Okay." Hamuko shrugged, "Alright I won't pet you again." She said and Minato felt desperate. He couldn't hide the fact that he liked that.
"I-I do like it…..a little." Minato mumbled as he blushed.
Hamuko grinned sweetly at Minato "Aw you're blushing again." She giggled "I shall continue petting you then." She began petting him and Minato sighed, he turned around and began to sleep, maybe because he slept a lot less last night or it was Hamuko's touch making me calm, he slept fairly quickly.
"Cute!" Hamuko smiled as Minato began sleeping. She could definitely hear a bunch of girls squealing how cute Minato looked.
"O-M-G he looks so cute." A girl squealed pointing at Minato.
"You're right." Her friend nodded, fawning over Minato. A vein popped up on Hamuko's forehead "Are they trying to hit on my sleeping Minato-kun?" She asked herself, as she clenched her teeth in rage.
"Yo!" Hamuko shouted, grabbing their attention. "He's sleeping! Get lost! You'll wake him up." She yelled and glared at the two girls who immediately stopped. Hamuko was popular in school so the girls quietly backed away.
Hamuko panted. "That sure took out a lot." She was glad the classroom was empty since it was lunch break.
"Thanks." Minato muttered. "They annoy the hell out of me." Hamuko grinned, her anger vanishing at Minato's words.
"No problem Minnie-kun." She got a groan in response causing her to giggle.
"Club!" Hamuko reminded herself of the promise with Mitsuru.
No teacher dared woke up Minato, so he slept the entire day until…
"MINATO-KUN!" Hamuko shouted and Minato bolted up straight
"Come forth Orpheus!" Minato shouted, holding an invisible evoker to his head. He was panting hard and his hair was in a mess.
There was complete silence for a few seconds until Hamuko gave a giggle which turned into a fit of giggles and then hysterical laughter.
"Oh man!" Hamuko laughed her behind off. "Damn I need a second to brea—" She couldn't hold it and dropped her head on Minato's desk. "Hahahahaha!" She smashed her fist on the desk multiple times.
Minato crossed his arms if this was anyone else, he would have for sure killed him or her on the spot but he couldn't be angry by the fact Hamuko was happy.
"Hmph." Minato looked away with a small smile while Hamuko dropped to the floor.
"Orpheus." She exclaimed before laughing hysterically again. She smacked Minato on the back multiple times. "Man Minato-kun I nearly died. You looked really cute."
Minato gave a 'hmph' in response. "My hair is a mess right now…"
Hamuko stopped laughing but still had a smile on her face. "Here, I'll help you." Minato was confused what she meant until Hamuko stood up and glided her hand towards Minato hair and began brushing them across his face.
Minato blushed profusely as Hamuko grabbed a hold of his face and then pushed his bangs to the side.
"Damn his hair is so silky…" Hamuko grew jealous a bit inside.
Minato kept blushing but didn't stop her from fixing his hair.
"Um…Hamuko?" Minato asked softly.
"Yes Minato-kun?" Hamuko asked, nearly done with his hair.
Minato gulped "Uh, I was wondering… Why do we both have Orpheus as our starting persona?" Hamuko stopped fixing his hair and smiled shyly. She bent down to his face level, the smile still on her face.
Minato blushed since Hamuko's smile was creeping him out a bit; not to mention she was really close to him.
"Well…" Hamuko rested her finger on Minato's chest. "We might just be destined to be lovers!" Hamuko giggled slightly at her own words. Minato blushed like no tomorrow, and that was only intensified by Hamuko's gentle smile. She trailed her finger towards his chest and up his throat and tapped his chin with her finger, lifting his face up.
"What do you think?" Hamuko asked gently, making Minato's mind go haywire.
"So?" Hamuko asked again levelling his face towards her own. Minato gulped, he wanted to answer her but the words got lost in his mouth.
"I…um…eh." Minato muttered gibberish while Hamuko laughed inside.
"HEY!" Minato turned his head towards the voice. It was Yukari Takeba who was staring at the two with disbelief and a little bit of envy.
"What are you doing?" Yukari nearly shouted as Hamuko's finger was still on Minato's chin.
Hamuko blushed and pulled away. Minato for once silently thanked Yukari for breaking the awkward moment although he would never admit it.
"O-Oh nothing." Hamuko stammered.
Yukari raised a brow but shrugged "If you say so."
Hamuko raised an eyebrow this time. She was sure that Yukari would tease her about it but why did she let it go so quickly?
Yukari said nothing and simply sat on her seat. Hamuko was surprised and a bit She made a mental note to ask her about it later and sat next to Minato who was still red from that earlier question. he classes passed quickly and before everyone knew it, it was the end of school. Hamuko immediately stood next to Minato's desk and poked him awake. Minato groaned as he saw Hamuko standing there.
"The hell do y—um… what do you want?" Minato quickly changed his tone as he completely registered that the person was Hamuko.
"Club!" Hamuko cheered.
Minato shook his head. "No, just no."
Hamuko fumed. "Why you…! You're coming with me."
Minato waved her off and turned his head until Hamuko grabbed him by his ear. "Oh no you're coming with me."
"OW!" Minato winced as Hamuko dragged him from class with everyone looking at him.
"Damn that woman." Minato cursed, he wanted to break from her grip and maybe insult her but like always his hate just died down when he realized that the person was Hamuko.
"Damn it." Minato muttered as Hamuko kicked the door open to the swim team.
"Hey Yuko!" She called out to a tanned girl. "Sign up Minato Arisato for the swim team." She pointed at Minato who was behind her, feebly trying to make Hamuko let go off him.
"Sure Hamuko-san." Yuko said barely holding her laughter in at the scene.
…..
"Aww man! Cheer up." Hamuko urged Minato who sulked behind her. "You should be happy that you joined a club!"
Minato shook his head "Yeah right those crazy fangirls will grow in number."
"Don't worry I won't let them touch you." Hamuko said with determination and Minato chuckled.
"Uh… about what you meant that we might be lovers… You were joking right?" Minato asked. This had been bugging him for the entire day.
Hamuko giggled. "Ah, love is strange! Who knows I might fall for you?" She winked but Minato didn't return it. A feeling of unimaginable sadness crept inside Minato who at that time forgot all about the anger and hate. His heart took a sudden twist as his vision began to feel blurry.
"That's…" Minato spoke but suddenly took off in a run surprising Hamuko.
"Minato?" She asked worriedly.
Minato kept running and running and stopped at the back of the Port Island. He rested his back against a wall. His eyes were beginning to feel a little wet. "Why am I feeling like this?" He asked himself.
"Is that the final truth? No matter what I won't have her?" Minato choked out. His soul was writhing from the emotional pain. "I can't have her? No matter what?" He asked himself. He wanted to cry, and this truth was shaking him apart.
Eventually he shook his head and slid down. "No I don't care." He told himself, digging out his knife from his pocket. "Besides she would be better off without me..." He threw the knife away and walked out of the alley.
