Chapter #6- The Fight

The next day, instead of spending the day hiding and skipping meals I decided to go to town. When I let the chairman know he told me I had to take someone with me just in case. I couldn't ask Zero after what happened yesterday, I couldn't stop the butterflies that fluttered in my stomach whenever i thought of it, I don't know how I could ever face him. So instead I asked one of the girls who had stayed behind at the academy over Christmas break. Hime was in my class and we were good friends. When I told her I was going to town she jumped at the opportunity to come with me. We called a taxi to take us to town since it was too cold to walk and started towards the shops as soon as we arrived. We took our sweet time shopping. We ate lunch and had my favorite parfait.

"So, why didn t you ask Zero to come with you?"

I cough slightly to clear my throat. I knew I would croak if I answered without a thought.

"He was busy," I say, blushing slightly as I remembered the events of yesterday night. She gives me a puzzled look.

"That's strange I would have thought he would atleast give up some time to hang out with his girlfriend."

I choke as the icecream goes down the wrong pipe in my surprise. I cough and try to compose myself.

"He"-cough- "isn t my boyfriend"-cough.

Hime rolls her eyes but doesn't comment. I stare at her, narrowing my eyes slightly.

"Hime, I m serious. Zero would never look at me like that."

She shrugs her shoulders again. "Not from what I've seen."

I wanted to know what she knew, I wanted to know so bad, but I ignore it. We do some more shopping and before we know it, it's twilight. We decide to have dinner then go home. The sky seemed to get darker as we walked through town. As we reach the restaurant a group of loud guys come towards us but we don't pay much attention to them. There were other people on the street so they couldn't do anything.

"Hey Yuki." I stop walking and turn to the familiar voice that had called my name. Agari came towards me from the group of rowdy boys.

"Agari?" I asked, confused. "What are you doing here?"

He shrugs his shoulder. "Just meeting up with some friends." I nod. I didn't want to stay here and talk to him. Seeing him again I realized why I had been running away from him in the first place. It was because he alluded such a strange atmosphere, not a good one, not even a mysterious one. Just a bad one. I took a step back.

"Well we should be going now. Its almost nightfall."

"Why don t you come with us?" asks Agari and the other boys let out cat calls and whistles. I blush at their immature behaviour and shake my head to Agari. He had a smirk on his face.

"No thanks, we should really get going." I turn and pull Hime's hand as we walk away.

"You won't get another chance like this again Yuki." I ignore him as I walk, anger starting to build inside me. Who did he think he was? I hardly knew him and he was acting like such a familiar with me. "I guess you would prefer a bloodsucker."

I stop walking, shocked at what he had just said. Anger bubbled inside me and I had to literallly bite my tongue to stop myself from saying anything. Hime turns to me, her eyebrows knotted, confused. I couldn't let her hear him. I start to walk again, my feet like lead.

"Or maybe a certain half-breed who follows you around like a love-sick puppy." I freeze. "With his tail between his legs."

I don't hear his friends laughing at the back even though they probably have no idea what he's talking about, I don't hear Hime calling my name and I pull my hand away as she grabs mine. I stride towards Agari. He doesn't have time to open his mouth before I swing my fist back and punch him straight in the face. But that wasn't enough, there was too much adrenaline and anger mixing inside me now, enough to suffocate me. Blood was pumping to my head and that's all I heard, my hands twitched at the after effects of the punch. As he lays on the ground, blood dripping from his nose, I jump on him and deliver every blow I can. At some point the pushes me down and lands a few punches on my face but I roll from under him and start to attack him all over again. I didn't feel any pain at the punches or kicks delivered to me. My mind was focused on hitting him. Just landing punch after punch. Reason and logic was lost to me as I kept going, not evem catching my breath. Suddenly, I was pulled away. I resist as the blood keeps rushing but as I see I'm not being let go of, I try and calm my nerves. Someone had caught Agari too. It's a police officer, I don't have to look back to see a man in a similar uniform holding me. My breathing is laboured and I feel the trickle of blood down my chin and the side of my face.

"What's going on here?" My eyes are directed at Agari in a monstrous glare. How dare he say that? And about Zero of all people. Zero. I was just not going to take that. Not from anyone, not ever. He pointed a hand at me.

"She friggin crazy, she just jumped on me and started beating me up."

The guy behind me nudged me, "Is that true miss?"

My eyes don t leave Agari s. I can't speak, the hate hasn't faded and I want to disfigure his face. I have never felt so angry in my life, my hands are shaking but I don't know what to do about it.

"That's not true officer," I hear a Hime's timid voice say from behind me, "we were minding our own business and they provoked us. Ask anyone."

I hadn't realized a crowd had gathered and I saw some of them start to nod and one of them say, "It s true officer."

"Well, we're gonna have to take you both in for the night until someone posts your bail."

I feel my wrists lock together painfully in the handcuffs. The same with Agari and I smirk as a small cry of pain leaves his mouth as he's pulled along with the police officer to the station. I start to walk along as well before I remember Hime.

"Hime, don t worry about me. Go home."
