chapter 2: don't take what is not yours
In the morning, four blocks away from the university in a apartment building, 20 year old Takuya Kanbara was sleeping in his bed, it was a small apartment that just cover the basic necessities, kitchen, a bathroom, a small living room but with a 42ยดยด plasma TV and a room with a king size bed, some drawers, a desk with a laptop and a slide door that leads to the a small balcony, yup the TV is a basic necessity these days.
Exactly at 7 am the radio clock next to Takuya's bed turn on playing death metal music, for much people that will surely freak them out but to Takuya it was like birds singing, he wait until the song end to turn it off, he get up and look around and take a note next to the radio clock and read it:
Good morning Taki,
i need to go earlier to the university
you know, student council stuff and all that
see you later in class
love Zoe.
Takuya smile making his way to the bathroom to take a bath, he open the hot water and get undressed, enters the bath, began to clean himself remembering how much time has passed since Zoe Orimoto moved to his apartment. "in a week it's gonna be a year" he thought.
He finished his cleaning get dressed, take a bowl with cereal and milk for break fast and turn on the TV and watch the news as he eat, nothing that he cares about, celebrities, politicians, but a new caught his attention, it was a multiple homicide, "..in small hours of the morning five corpses completely dismembered where found in the Goody Meadows neighborhood most commonly know as Bloody Meadows due to the high crime rate, the bodies where found together in a happy face shape, the bodies where identified as a gang of assailants and a student of Eliot Maximo University, Jenifer Rothchild, who apparently was a drug dealer and..." the TV announcer continued meanwhile Takuya finished his breakfast "they deserved it" he thought, he clean his bowl, grab his backpack, get out of the apartment, lock the door and walk to the University.
Takuya was studying criminology, he also teach self-defense in the University's gym to the girls and some Nerds, being a Karate Black Belt the student council asked to do it and he gladly accepted because 30% of the University fees will be deducted from hes usual payment. Takuya was thinking in the news of that day, the bloody meadows not where more far than a mile of the University and began to worry about Zoe and those early meetings with the student council, he look at his watch that shows the 7:40 am, he was standing in the front gate, sunlight was barely visible that was the thing that worry Takuya.
Zoe usually have those meetings at 6 am which means she go to the University more earlier and there was still dark in the streets, of course he taught her self-defense in the gym like everybody else and some private lessons in the apartment but that doesn't mean she is out of any danger, but at least the university was a few blocks away from the apartment that give him a little relief, by now he was siting on his chair in the classroom there was about fifth teen minutes before the class starts.
Zoe had finished the meeting and went to the class room, she was studying laws, so Takuya has some classes with her, she enter the class room and Takuya was sitting there staring to nothing, she sat next to him, he didn't notice her until she kiss him in the right cheek, surprised he turn to her and kissed her this time in her lips, moments later they were interrupted by Kouji and Kouichi who entered the class room panting.
"what's the rush guys? There still left ten minutes to the class to start" Takuya said lifting a eyebrow
"we*pant*did you*pant*" Kouichi can't finish what he comes to say but Kouji relax a bit and take a deep breath
"did you saw the news today? About the multiple homicide" Kouji said recovering his breath
"yeah, why?" Takuya replied
"wait Taki what homicide?" Zoe ask turning her face to Takuya
"well it was on bloody meadows maybe a simple gang war or something, the curious thing was that the bodies were dismembered and with them make a happy face on the street, estrange sense of humor" Takuya explained to Zoe
"oh that's gross and sick, how many people where?" Zoe ask again
"there where five bodies, four gangs and a young girl...what was her name?" Kouji said
"Jenifer, Jenifer Rothchild I think"
"WHAT!? That girl was murdered? What was she doing there in the first place?" Zoe exalted
"who knows the police says that she was a drug dealer or something, maybe the fight was started by her
and they don't want to pay her, the police don't find any clues yet" Kouichi said
the four friends remain silent for a moment until Takuya broke the silence
"so Zoe, what the student council discuss this time that they meet so early" Takuya ask
"the meeting was to discuss the recent reduction of founds to all extracurricular classes and that the Gym needs urgently a extreme makeover, Amy said she saw the Director using the founds for his own but since we don't have solid evidence we can't do nothing" Zoe said
"corrupt son of a bitch" Takuya said angry
"sshhh maybe the walls have ears my friend" Kouji said
"pfff, as I care, I never liked that man he doesn't seems to care what happen here, if you ask me what to do, ill tell you to kill him and replace him with someone more responsible" Takuya said
the classes begin, all day was a total boredom at the end of the classes Takuya went to the gym to begin his self-defense class, Zoe and Kouichi were there too along with another 2 dozens of girls, Zoe was there because she don't like Takuya be there alone with all those girls and Kouichi, well he need to learn it cause much people bullying him and because Takuya forced him to do so. The class begin at 5 pm and ends at 8 pm, at the seven Takuya decides to take a rest.
"All right let's take 10 minutes to rest I gonna get some food from the cafeteria ill be right back" Takuya said while he walk to the exit
moments later at the Director's office, the Director Callahan was smoking a cigar, reading some magazines of very expensive things that doesn't seems to be very useful to a school, the office was dark except for the desk lamplight, behind his ear a high-pitched voice spoke
"still don't know in what to spend the money of thy others?"
the Director Callahan froze, the door was locked and he hear a voice in his back.
