"Why you little brat-" I was about to throw whoever it was to the side, then I froze. At first, I hadn't actually taken the time to actually look at the kid, then I realized, this fight would be no walk in the park, for the kid who wants to pick a fight with me was no more than Rin Okumura, himself. Rin raised his hand balled it into a fist, and punched me clear across the face, then grabbed me by my neck and held me up.
"What did you call me, demon girl?" Okumura smirked, and he pushed me farther into the locker. I clinged to his hands and struggled, gasping for air, I pushed my knees up, and kicked him off of me, as he dragged me down with him, he groaned in pain, and let go of me, I tried to get up, I fell back down and coughed up blood, only to get back up.
Those around us started to chant, "Fight, fight, fight, fight!" I knew better than to fight with someone as strong as Okumura, but as I got up I turned away from him, and the crowd of people. I let loose of chuckle gave a sinister smile, and spat out, "Hah! You shouldn't talk, you're a far worse demon than I am! You're the son of Satan, Okumura-kun." My tongue rolled over his name, and I let out a small pur. Then, I walked away, more like a half run, to be honest. No use in getting a detention for fighting with Okumura, and staying in the cursed school any longer than what I have to each day.. I was rather surprised that he didn't come chasing after me, but I didn't hesitate to get out of the school. Rin Okumura was trouble, bigger trouble than what I was.
"-Hey, wait up! Izhumaki-san!" That voice… It was too familiar, I stopped and turned around at the doors of the school, to see Kiyotaka Ishimaru right behind me, carrying a big back of books, probably his homework. When he finally reached me I gave him a welcoming hug and flashed him a smile, but he didn't return the hug, or the smile, but I just shrugged it off, thinking maybe Ishimaru just had a long day and didn't want to move too much. So then pushed out the doors, walking outside.. Ishimaru and I both lived in the same apartment, so we knew each other rather well. To be honest, he was my only friend, if he even considered me one, he was the only person who would go around me, who wasn't afraid of me. Ishimaru looked happy, but as we were walking, something seemed… Off, Ishimaru had this aura like he was angry, or frustrated, I could just... Sense it.
"I-Ishimaru-kun-" I hesitated to ask him what was wrong, afraid that he'd take his anger out on me, Ishimaru was one for speaking his mind, and sometimes he gets emotionally frustrated and breaks down right there, normally he'd start to cry, and I really didn't feel like sticking around to support him, either, but I reluctantly asked him what the matter was, anyways.
"Ishimaru-kun, you seem angry, what's wrong?" Ishimaru gave me that… Stare, like I did something wrong. "You. You're 'The matter,' Izhumaki." Ishimaru's thick eyebrows furrowed together, and he gave me a huge frown, and just, stared, directly at me. I tensed up, I knew what happen when you got in trouble with Ishimaru, he ignored you for up to months at a time, until he felt like you deserve to be his friend again. I really didn't want that, I mean, he's my only friend, even if he doesn't consider me as one.
"W-what did I-" I began, but I was cut off, "You and Run Okumura got into a fight directly after the last bell! Then you hugged me at the doors of the school!" His voice was firm, and even though he didn't throw a punch or anything at me, I flinched at the words he said. "I-..." I really didn't know what to say, but then again, I really didn't have to talk, Ishimaru would do all of the talking, I knew he would.
"For one, Violence is not and never will be tolerated on school property! And second of all, rules regarding PDA are still in effect as long as you're in the school, even after the last bell! Also, I was told that you were dozing off in Math class, today, that's intolerable in class, and it annoys the teachers!" We reached the doors to the apartments, but we both stopped, and I put a hand on the doors. My head fell down and I felt like slumping over my desk like I did in class today, but I didn't. Instead we shared an awkward moment of silence, when I finally said something to Ishimaru.
"I'm sorry… I-If I'm not p-perfect, like you… Kiyotaka… B-but, I didn't fight Okumura-kun, and I just haven't felt good at all today… And friends hug friends, but wait, you probably don't even consider me a friend… L-let alone an acquaintance…" I was on the verge of tears, I knew getting yelled at by Ishimaru was bad, but I didn't know it was that bad. Ishimaru stood with his mouth agape, his eyebrows wide, but before he had time to say anything, I pushed through the doors and ran to my apartment room. "H-hey!" Ishimaru yelled, holding his hand out, his eyes were wide, and his eyebrows were still raised, as he yelled my name again, but I ignored him, as I ran into my room and slammed the door closed thinking, he probably just wanted to say, "No running in the halls, Izhumaki-kun!" I giggled at that, but shortly after my eyes were overflown by tears, and I slid down the front door, put my knees up, and hid my face in them with my arms crossed over my knees.
