April 10th
Evening
The cold shower runs as I think about the day I just had. I am going to transfer to Shujin Academy since my brother is going to try and get a job here, but it will take some time. I hope he gets the job. He needs something to help after his breakup and loss of research. Maybe he needs counseling. I give a soft smile as I finish up my shower. "Hey Ishi, I'm home." I hear my brother as I start to dry off and reply "I'm in shower!"
A few minutes later
I come out wearing a simple shirt and sweatpants as I see my brother Takuto on the sofa looking at his notes of the cognitive world he talk a lot about. I can follow it, but it gets confusing after a while. Still I should admire his dedication to it. My mind blanks for a minute but Takuto notices and says "Hey Ishi. How was your day?"
I snap out of my blank mind and say "it was okay just getting the apartment nice, so I don't need to do it tomorrow. So how was studying in the library of this cognitive world you talk about in your sleep." Taku laughs as he scratches the back of his neck and says "I don't talk about it in my sleep. Do i?" This brings a smile to my face as he tells me of his meeting, he will have with Shujin in a few days and that we will be having sushi tomorrow to. Yes, I love sushi with fatty tuna. Still we watched the news about another mental shutdown.
I wonder. As I think more about the mental shutdowns my head starts to hurt as a flash of glass shattering comes to me. I shake my head and say "I'm going to bed Taku. Goodnight." I hear him reply a night as I head to the restroom. I splash some water on myself and look at my reflection. For a second, I see a blue fiery outline of some creature behind me. Then it's gone. Odd but may need some rest.
April 11th
Early Morning
When I got up Takuto was already out going to the library. So, I got my uniform and got ready to take the train to Shujin Academy. So, with my odd pants and black blazer I head to school. As I get in the packed train, I remember I was going to the student council room to ask for the presidents help since I'm in her class. Well I look at my phone and see a text from Takuto.
Takuto: Hey I'm going to get the Shushi by the time you get home. Any preference?
Ishiku: The good ones Takuto.
Takuto: yeah, I know a stupid question. Well have a good first day at school Ishi.
Morning
A smirk appears on my face as I hear the operator announce I am at my destination. As I go out, I hear the noise of rain and take out my umbrella in my bag. Thank god Takuto bought this. I may have been soaking if he didn't. Well time to get to school. As I walk, I notice an odd student with blond hair talking to some plain looking guy. Odd but just need to get to school. When I get there, I see the white building great me. Well first day at school. Before I take my first step inside, I get shoved aside as this very tall guy almost pushed me to the ground. He turns around and gives me a smile as he says "I'm sorry I didn't see you there. Well I need to get going have a good day student."
A voice in my head says when I saw him was that he is scum. Odd that this came back. I always had this odd ability to tell about people's true colors from looking at them. Maybe bro has it and it helps him with his counseling. Still I should stay away from him.
I head to the student council room after asking a fellow student and I start to hear rumors about a transfer student that is to be this violent criminal. Someone must have been really creative about his so called 'crimes'. If half were true than this guy is to be the next Hannibal. Still I'm glade they said second year and not third or I may faint. I reach the room and knock as I hear a soft come in.
I open the door and was greeted with a beautiful girl that has short brown hair and red eyes. Holy crap she is cute. I shake that thought out of my head and ask "are you Niijima-san? The principle told me I was to meet her here." The red eye girl nods and says "Yes. You must be Ishiku Kishi." I nod with a smile as Nijima says as she bows "My name is Makoto Nijima the council president. I hope we get along well." I bow and say "same. I hope I don't take too much of your time."
After the introduction between us Nijima told me how to get around and showed me to our classroom. The teacher introduces me, and my bad luck showed its ugly head as I triped trying to get to my new desk. How come me and bro both have this problem. After that the day went by and I heard now more rumors about this student.
Lunchtime
When the bell for lunch happened, I stayed at my desk so I can read a book about this great thief my brother bought me for my birthday a few days ago. As I read, I heard this new transfer student came to school just now. Odd but I should focus on my studies. As the bell signal to come back to class I but my book away.
After school
As the bell rings I start to pack up but Nijima walks up to me to ask, "Was your first day good Kishi-san?" I nod and say "It was good. Nothing to amazing but all went fine. Thank you again for helping me out Nijima-san." Nijima smiles and says "I'm happy to help. If you need any help just ask for it. Well I should be going. Have a good day Kishi-san." She walks away as I wave. She is nice. Well tomorrow I should try and look at the clubs.
As I was thinking a sudden wave of sadness reaches me for no good reason. This has been happing for a good while. I go to the restroom to splash some water in my face to get myself back to normal but a small voice in the back of my head says 'how long will you let evil deeds happen around you? You know scum when you see it but do nothing to act. Just how long do I need to wait.' I shake my head and head home to get some good sushi. I didn't know that I should have listen to that voice and I maybe could have helped stop a terrible person, but I just went with the flow like always.
Well I hope you all like this Chapter. Next time Ishiku well meet the trickster, the pirate, and the femme fatale. Well if any you have thought, or ideas just leave it in the comments.
