CHAPTER 7 by Chuuya

I walked outside the Suribachi City. Actually I had grown tired of my friends lately. They relied on me too much. It was not like I hate it, but I needed an air. Ugh, the world sucks. I'm so tired.

.

"Hey Chuuya!" Shirase called me, "Dammit!"

"What happened?" I asked.

"Our friends got captured by the Mafia!"

"WHAT?!" I raged in anger, "How could?!"

"The… Mafia just took them," he said. I sighed in frustration as I hear that.

"You're just going to sit while our friends getting caught?!"

"Then what should I do?!"

"Go there! Save them! Help them!"

"We can't just barge in into enemy's territory! We need a plan,"

"Plan? No one could win against you,"

.

I sighed again. This world sucks. I didn't want to be used like this.

I went to the nearest game center and played some fight games there. It felt like a short time but it was already 2 hours passed since got in here. I had to go home before it got dark. I checked my money and saw there wasn't much left. It was time to go home. I would just cook some instant noodles or something at home.

I walked towards the door and a girl passed me by. I could smell rose scent from her. I looked back and saw her curly hair fell softly down to her back. She walked gracefully towards the chair and sat there. She sat and looked gone with her thoughts.

Well, fuck time.

I sat to the nearest fight game and took a better sight at her. Damn, she was the literal meaning of perfection. Her hazel eyes could sink anyone. Her hair was really shiny and looked smooth. Her lips sticked in a thin line in natural red. She sat really gracefully and her bag was sitting on her lap. Her uniform showed a prestigious high school in the area. Oh, she's older than me. I actually didn't care about age gap but she was really on the different universe from me.

She seemed lost in her thought for a while. I wondered what kind of things a girl like her is thinking about. Was it about unicorn and such? Was it about what would I do with my money next? Probably something like that, wasn't it? A person like her tended to think about such a thing.

I sighed. I looked like a stalker now. I went towards the exit sluggishly. I still wanted to see the girl but I could get arrested for stalking.

"Akane! I don't expect you to be here!" a boy stood in front of her and called her name. She even had a beautiful name.

"I don't remember allowing you to call me by my name," she sighed at them and tried to leave. I came close enough to hear their every word. Dammit, I really became a stalker.

"No, you're not going anywhere," the boys stopped her and pulled her outside. Oh damn, the girl was in trouble. I went outside and wondered where they'd gone. Then I heard voices from a small alley near beside the game center. I heard their conversation.

"What do you want?" she asked.

"Come on! Be my girlfriend! I made a bet with my friends that if I couldn't get you as my girlfriend I have to pay him ten thousand yen!" the boy cried. Disgusting. I meant, as a man, I knew people couldn't leave such a girl alone, but I wouldn't do such a coward thing.

"Yeah, of course. Since you're actually not a rich boy you couldn't pay him," she scoffed.

"Damn you girl!" He forced his hand on her arms and pulled her closer to him. I controlled my hands to not actually go there and punch them. I would be in trouble if I punched rich young boys.

"If you don't want to go out with me, who knows what I would do to you," he smirked. My control of my hand went loose. Okay, feet, don't go there. Don't ruin your life.

"You! Why would you wear that expressionless face?!"

The other two boys held her on her arms and the boy started to remove her coat. The left leg had loosened its control.

"This is what would happen if you ignore me!" he smirked. Okay, the right leg had loosened its control too. But before I could go there, the girl kicked the boy in his private area. I touched mine in reflect and took a note to my head to not mess with a girl.

"OH SHIT!" he screamed in pain. She tried to run but the boys grabbed her arms and the boy who shouted at her pulled her to the ground and slapped her hardly.

"YOU BITCH!" he yelled.

That's it. Fuck my life. Goodbye my peaceful life, I'm going to hell now.

I used my ability and pushed them to the wall until it cracks. I stood in front of her so she didn't see the violent scene that happened in front of her.

"What is this?" I growled and glared at them.

"Um…" I heard she called me out. I could see her cheeks redden and her knees were bleeding. I should had gone earlier.

"Are you okay?" I asked her.

"Uh, I suppose?" she looked lost. I offered my hand and she took my hand to stand up. I could feel sparks on my hand where she touched it. I helped her to stand and I turned to the other guys.

"Seriously? Ganging up a girl? Be a man, dude!" I growled again, "Oh, I forgot, you're not even a man. I bet yours down there even not real,"

The guys were talking over themselves for a while and I had hoped they don't decide to attack me. I didn't want to kill bugs like them. It seemed they realize who am I then they ran away.

"Are you really okay?" I asked her again. She still looked so lost. I moved my hand to touch her redden cheek but I was discouraged. I couldn't touch her like that. No, I was not allowed.

"Yes, I'm okay. Thank you," she smiled. God, her smile is not for this world. I blushed at the sight of her smile and smiled awkwardly.

"What's your name?" she asked. I was surprised at her question. I raised my brows in confusion. I thought a girl like her wouldn't want to know someone as dirty as me.

"Ah! It don't mean anything! I just want to know my saver's name!" she flustered in panic. I chuckled. She's cute.

"It's Chuuya," I said. But realized that it seemed too straight forward, I corrected it, "Chuuya Nakahara,"

She lightened up at my name and took my hand happily. She knew me?

"Thank you for saving me, Nakahara-san!" she giggled at my name. I looked at her eyes and she looked at me back in confusion.

"Nakahara-san? Is there something wrong?" she asked.

"Nope," I replied. I really should avoid her. My heart couldn't handle it. "You should go from here. It's not safe to be here,"

She looked down for a while like a little puppy.

"I understand. Thank you, Nakahara-san," she bowed politely and went ahead of me. I sighed. If I should build a grave I would make it like this:

RIP

Here lies Chuuya Nakahara's First Love.

Damn it. I hoped I could see her again. If I didn't see it wrong, her uniform belonged to the school near here. I should check that school out.

It was raining. Lucky me I brought an umbrella. I went to the convenience store and bought some instant ramens for this week's stocks. I couldn't really cook and I didn't have much time. I was strolling around the convenience store to make sure I had nothing left to buy when I noticed someone was taking a shelter from the rain though the rain did seem to wet them all over. I paid the groceries and get out seeing who it was. They were just a kid. If it was just a kid, I should help them; maybe I could recruit them to the Sheep. I walked towards them and it was actually a she. She squatted down and hugged herself tight to keep herself warm. She felt my presence and looked up.

"Oh, hi, Nakahara-san. We meet again, aren't we?" the brunette said, smiling.

"Why are you here?" I asked, "I told you to go home,"

"I… don't feel like going home," she replied and looked down. I moved my umbrella over her.

"You should go home," I said, "It's not safe here,"

"It's not safe in my house either," she scoffed then I could hear stomach's growls. It was not mine so it was probably hers. Her face reddened and turned away from me.

"Let's pretend that you didn't hear it, okay?" she giggled embarrassedly. I sighed. I couldn't let a hungry girl alone in the middle of the rain, could I? I offered her my hand.

"Follow me," I said, "You need to eat something,"

"My mother said I shouldn't go with a stranger,"

"We're not strangers, we're friends," I said and grinned, "from now on,"

She laughed heartily as she stood up and looked at me.

"Let me introduce myself," she said, "My name is Akane. It's nice to meet you,"

Was this what people called destiny?
