Did he want us dead? What if he couldn't resist the blood? Had Alice seen that he wouldn't? Was that why he was here? Thoughts flooded my head.
The first battle, Onigiri was up. He won, but just barely. That surprised me cause he was up against a boy. Kazu won easily, shocking his opponent with his speed. "As expected of the Flame King," I said when he came back. He gave me and Emily a high five. Unexpectedly, Buccha lost. I didn't know how but he did.
I was up next. I walked to the middle of the gym, standing five feet away from Mike.
"Just forfeit," he said. "I don't want to hurt you." His eyes were pleading.
"You think you can hurt me?" I asked. "I got to A class in two months, a silly little D class doesn't have anything on me," I told him. He sighed. The battle had already started. He came at me, throwing a half hearted punch. I dodged and grabbed his wrist. I griped hard making him gasp in pain. "Don't think of me as Nami," I told him. "Just fight," I released him and he started attacking again. It was almost too easy to dodge.
When I found an opening, I kicked him in the stomach. I thought that that was enough to end him but he got back up. Was he really just D class, or were there no more teams he could fight against in the area?
He came at me again with a kick. His AT managed to cut my cheek. It was just a light scratch, but there was blood. I wiped off the blood with my thumb and started running. My speed was close to Kazu's. Mike could barely keep up with my attacks. But he did. He gained a bit of damage though. My blood lust wouldn't be satisfied by just this. I needed someone who could fight!
"Nami," Ikki called. "Stop messing around and finish this," he ordered. I did as told, sending a blow to the back of his neck.
"He'll wake up in a few hours," I told his teammates when he fell. We had won. There wasn't any reason for the last match.
"Why did you stop her, it was getting interesting!" Onigiri asked Ikki.
"She would have killed him. He was taking too much damage. You don't know how to limit your power as well cause you haven't been fighting," he said as I walked over.
"Has something to do with it I guess. I'm going to get something to drink," I said. A few called out after me telling me what they wanted. I skated slowly to the cafeteria. I put my money in one of the machines that lined the wall. I choose my drink and as it fell down some one spoke.
"Wasn't expecting to see you here," It was Emmet. He was on the far side of the room. He has only whispered but I turned my head out of reflex. "So you could hear me," he said grinning.
"Yeah, I was a tuner for about six years so my hearing is above average when I focus." I told him. He crossed the room not bothering about his speed. When I wasn't shocked he spoke again.
"You already knew what we were didn't you?" he asked still grinning.
"Yes, the Volturi knows that I'm still human as well. Aro gave me special permission to stay that way as well," I told him. He laughed.
"Why didn't you tell Edward this?" he asked.
"I never got the chance, Cyan dragged me out of the hospital and he wasn't talking to me afterwards," I stopped, thinking about Edward's sour mood. "How much is his curiosity driving him insane?" I asked. Emmet laughed again.
"We've never seen him like this, Alice saw something already, she saw her and you being friends, that's why Jasper didn't kill you- oops, didn't mean to scare you he doesn't have anything against you but-"
"I know, Rosalie doesn't like me either,"
"How did you know that?" He asked confused.
"She hisses under her breath when I look towards your lunch table."
"She just doesn't want to move," he said.
"I'm not going to tell anyone, I'm great at keeping secrets," I told him. "And can you tell Edward that I know what my blood does to him," this really surprised Emmet.
"You know?" he asked appalled.
"The second I saw how he reacted to me. Tell him that I don't really care if he kills me, not that he can, or maybe it's that he won't." I started wondering aloud.
"He won't kill you on purpose unless he slips up," Emmet told me. It was my turn to be surprised.
"What's one little life to him?" I asked.
"You're more informed on vampire nature that I gave you credit for."
"I know how Aro thinks, he also told me of Carlisle, is that why he won't kill me?"
"Do you want him to kill you?" Emmet asked.
"It doesn't really matter to me, it's not like he will even if he does slip up." My phone vibrated. It was Kazu. He was asking where I was. I hurried to get all the drinks.
"What do you mean by that, and why were you with the Volturi?" Emmet asked.
"Secret," I said. "But I would really like it if Edward stopped ignoring me, I'd be nice to have someone to talk to," I said. My phone vibrated again. "Sorry but they've been known to tear places down to find me," I told him and then rushed out of the cafeteria.
We had a lot of area now, and February passed quietly. I was sad that they had to leave but they were disrupting my life here. Jessica hated it when Emily talked to me in Japanese and Mike hated any one who called me Sweetness. I figured he was very happy they had finally left. Personally, I was sick of the way every girl was staring at Ikki and Kazu. Emily hardly ever strayed from his side in the halls.
"Do you mind if I ask Mike to the spring dance?" Jessica asked out of nowhere in Trig. She was referring to a girls' choice dance in two weeks.
"Go ahead, you two make a good match," I said filled with enthusiasm.
"Really? You weren't going to ask him?" she asked making sure her target was hers alone.
"Nope, he's all yours. Have fun okay?"
"You're not going to ask anyone?" she said appalled.
"I have something to do that weekend." I told her.
"Okay but tell me if you change your mind and need help finding a date," she said. Now that she was sure I wasn't going after Mike, she could sound sincere.
The next day Jessica didn't speak to me. I guessed Mike had turned her down.
"So," he said leaning on the biology table like always. "Jessica asked me to the spring dance," he said.
"That's great! You two make a really good couple!" I said like I had with Jessica. I would do everything in my power to push those two together so they would leave me the hell alone! Mike was looking down, his face red. I knew what was coming.
"I told her I would think about it," he mumbled.
"Why would you do that?" I asked a bit relieved he didn't give her a straight out no. That would be harder to piece back together.
"I was wondering if you might ask me," He admitted still looking down.
"I'm not going to the dance," I told him.
"Why not?" He demanded.
"It's complicated." I said. I didn't want to get into the whole mourning for Agito although it's been half a year.
"Is it because of Agito?" He demanded. I saw Edward move a fraction my way.
"How do you know about him?" I demanded, my temper rising. How dare he even say his name! Agito was the Fang King, not some arrogant little boy!
Mr. Banner chose that moment to start class. Mike went to his seat. I heard him tare a piece of paper out of his note book and start to scratch his pencil over the sheet quickly. When Mr. Banner had his back turned, He balled up the paper and tossed it as me. I caught it with out looking back. No one bothered to turn their heads at this small interaction.
I looked you up online. It said that you were the Fang King's tuner, and his girlfriend. I saw some of his battles. He completely destroys his opponents! He was possessive towards you wasn't he? I could only imagine how he treated you. Is he still controlling you while you're here? Did he threaten to kill you? Did you leave to escape him? Tell me, I can help.
Who the fuck did he think he was? I saw Edward leaning over to read what Mike had wrote. I managed to keep my temper down throughout class, I don't know how but I did. I would have to skip gym to keep from killing Mike. I would have to avoid him for a very long time. How dare he insult my Agito like that! It hurt even more that Agito wasn't here to beat the shit out of him for saying something like that.
"Nami," I herd. Was he really speaking to me? I looked at Edward. He was looking at me. "I'm sorry I know I'm being rude but this really is the best way," he said. Why couldn't he have said this earlier? When I wasn't in the mood to kill some one at the slightest bit of annoyance?
"What do you mean?" I asked unable to contain the anger still flowing through me. I knew what he meant. It was better for him to stay way form me so he wouldn't kill me.
"It would be better if we weren't friends," he clarified. Had Emmet told him anything? I guess not. I guess he wanted to see how things would turn out. "Trust me," he left then.
I did my best to avoid Mike, he took it the wrong way and thought I was upset. I went straight to the nurse's office. I told her that I could feel a migraine coming on, just a small one though.
Of course I was lying to get out of gym, but my anger was strong enough to make me look like I was in pain. In away I was in pain. All the emotions that flooded through me because of a simple misunderstanding hurt me so much. That misunderstanding would never be cleared up because, unless you saw Agito with me, smiling, kissing me suddenly when a boy got to close, and caring for me, watching me bake. You couldn't see that he loved me.
Agito did tear apart his opponents, but that was his personality. He was a sadist, but not when it came to me. I was completely different from all his other relationships. He was possessive, over protective, territorial, moody, impatient, and very powerful. Any one would misunderstand that. Possessive because he would die without me, over protective because he couldn't stand to see me in pain, territorial because he couldn't have me falling for someone else, moody cause he didn't do anything but bear his fangs and was incapable of almost anything else, impatient because he couldn't wait to see me, powerful because he had to protect me. He never restricted me though; I could do anything I wanted. He would let me fight with him, event against him. They couldn't see how he would touch me gently as if I was glass. They couldn't see how he would comment my skirt was too short, or button my shit to the top button with out his hands touching my skin. They couldn't see how I smiled with him or how relaxed I was. They couldn't see how he always kept his arms in the exact middle of my waist when he had his arms around me, and how careful he was about keeping them there. They conldn't see cause he was gone.
They didn't know my Agito, all they saw was the Fang King of the Bloody Road and a sweet little girl being controlled by fear. I rode the Bloody Road as well; maybe I needed to tell them that again.
The nurse told me when school was over. My temper hadn't subsided still but I told her I would be fine.
"I have my cell, I'll call some one if they start again. I'll pull over at the slightest sign of another headache," I promised. She didn't look very convinced but she let me go any way.
