Chapter 5 – Izuya's Unforgettable Past

"Alright." i started as everyone stood near me on the rooftop. It was lunch break, and everyone reminded me that i had to tell them about my past.

"It all started when i was at the age of 5. My mother died, and we went to her funeral. That is when i saw her and she had made me feel better. She became my only friend, until i meet Moka. However, since she didn't tell me what happened to her, i was just with Yana. No one wanted to be my friend because they felt something different about me but Yana did not care about that. She was truly my best friend."

"What? If she was truly your best friend then what happened?" Kurumu asked as she had both hands out towards me. I looked at her with narrowed eyes.

"I am getting to that so will you let me continue." i stated calmly. She sweat dropped and i continued.

"Well, after a while, i figured it was time for her to know my secret. So i took her to the park. I told her that I had a secret she needed to know, and she was not very scared about it. I figured she would not care, because i mean she was my best friend. She was very eager to know what it was. So i changed into my yokai form." i paused and everyone looked at me.

"How'd she react?" Moka asked hesitantly.

"Not so well." i stated as i rolled my eyes and turned my head to the side. "She...I figured it would not turn out so badly, so.. i showed her what i could do. The next thing i knew, she screamed. I looked at her and she had a… terrifying look. She asked me what i was, but i was too shocked to answer her back because of the look on her face. I...slowly grabbed her shoulders but she smacked them away, which caused me to be even more shocked. Then she started yelling 'monster' at me and all i could do was looked down in shame and hold my hand. The hand she smacked me with."

"Thats terrible." Moka stated looking at me with sadness. I looked at her with a fake smile with shaking my head.

"Oh, I am not down yet." i stated. "Many people started crowding around us because of her yelling and they all got scared of me. Apparently someone had called the police or something and they took me in. I changed back to my form and changed to my Yokai, because they were testing me."

"Testing?" Tsukune asked confused. I nodded my head and looked to the side.

"They were trying to see what caused this yokai form and stuff like that." I explained. "Anyways, Yana lied to them, and told them that i hurt her. So they took me as a threat to their race, and sentenced me to death." I looked down in sadness.

"Are you serious?" Yukari yelled angrily. I nodded my head and the wind blew from behind me.

"They placed me on a cross, since they called me the devil or demon, they thought that it would hurt me or weaken me. So they burned the cross. I was on flames so i changed into my form. It still hurt, but i was still able to survive the heat. After awhile, people were cheering on my death, but i was not really dead. I just pretended to have died. Everyone left and they just left me there. So i opened my eyes and i saw my father standing before me. He smiled at how i was and released me and i cried home." I looked up at them and Kurumu stared at me with narrowed eyes.

"I can't believe they did that to you. How can you say that so calmly?" Kurumu shouted. That ticked me off how she assumed things.

"I may be saying it calmly, but it really hurts me inside! Do you know how much it hurts to have your friend, your best friend, to be scared of you, and lie!" i shouted with anger. "Do you know how much pain i had to go through!" Everyone just looked at me so I looked down calming down a bit. "Thats why i cannot trust humans anymore. I cannot even enter the human world, or they will find out that im still alive. I cannot even let one human know that im still alive, or that i am a monster."

"Izuya wait!" i heard Tsukune say, but i ignored him and walked around the woods. I finally came to a clearing with a small pond in the middle. I bent down to it, and saw Yana's reflection. I made on angry look and splashed it away. I fell on the floor, and started crying, as i remembered one last tragic memory.

Flashback

"Izuya?" My father asked as he entered my room. He walked up to me and brushed my hair with his hand. I was crying because of what had happened. "Its been 2 months since that happened. Your already 15, you don't need to be crying over this."

"B-but, she lied to me. She caused everything that had happened to me." i cried yelling. Father just stared down at me with a straight face. "No.. It was my fault that i told her about my secret."

"Theres something important i need to tell you." he informed completely ignoring what I just stated. I went along and wiped a tear and sat up. "Yesterday, Yana, was walking to school, and well.."

"Yeah?" i asked eager to know what happened. He sighed and closed his eyes.

"A car was speeding, and when she crossed the street..." he faded off. I knew what happened, but i didn't want to hear it. "Izuya, Yana's dead." My eyes widen. I couldn't believe that she lied and caused all my pain, but i couldn't believe that she died too. I couldn't do anything, but cry. My father just held me close to him as i cried on his suit.

"From now on, starting on your second year in high school, you'll be attending Yokai Academy." he informed. I moved away from him and looked at him wide eyed.

"What!" i yelled not believing what he told me. He looked at me. "I do not want to go to a monster school, they might hate me too! I would rather just stay home, all day!"

"No they wo-"

"No, i don't want to go. Leave me alone!" i yelled, as i pushed my father off my bed, and threw my pillow at him. Once he left, i cried myself to sleep.

Flashback over

"Yana, you idiot." i whispered as i continued to cry. "I did not even get to say good bye." i said as i slowly leaned against a tree and continued to cry.
