Chapter Too

POV: Misaki Yatagarasu

I was sitting in my last, and least-favorite time of the day- Math. A lot of times, people would only hate the class because of the teacher, but this wasn't the case for me. I hated math- both the teacher and the subject. I seriously don't get the point of math, or any other subject for that matter, I mean, this is why people invented calculators.

Usually, I would sit in my seat, staring out the window and daydream, and today was no exception. I found my mind drifting off to the conversation I had yesterday with "Saruhiko". 'I wonder where he's from' I found myself thinking, 'Then again, it wasn't as if it mattered; he was probably attending school somewhere far away. He might even be going to some elite school considering how stuck up he sounds.'

Soon enough, the bell rang and I was finally freed from the Hell-zone called "school". When I exited the classroom, I couldn't get the thought of the Tetris kid out of my head. 'I wonder what's his real name...? How old is he?' Even as I met up with my friends at the school gate, I still couldn't get my mind off of him.

My thoughts were interrupted when one of my best friends, Izumo Kusanagi, ruffled my hair and smiled.

"What's wrong? Something on your mind?", he questioned. Being the flirt that he is, he gasped and said dramatically, "Is it a girl?! Are you having love problems?! How can I be of any help? Does this person have a lover?! Oh my goodne-". I cut him off my covering his mouth with my hand.

"No!" I said, already agitated at his assumption. I sighed, and continued. "It's nothing, really. I was just talking to this guy last night, and I was just wondering what he looks like and where he's from...", I said, my voice trailing off as my mind drifted off again.

They all smiled at me understandingly, knowing we all have days when our minds are drifting off into space. Izumo patted my head again and smiled, saying, "Whatever you say, Misaki. But remember, if you ever need any advice in the love department, I'm always willing to lend a few tips~". Everyone burst out laughing when I playfully punched him in the shoulder.

Everybody was laughing as we left school campus, led by Mikoto as usual. We went to hang out at the bar that Kusanagi had inherited from his grandfather. Since he was too young to manage it himself, Izumi planned to use it as a little clubhouse until he could turn it into an actual bar and start to accept customers.

After a few hours of throwing darts at the dartboard and riding our skate boards outside, we parted ways and headed home. On the way, I started to get hungry and stopped by a 24/7 convenience store. As I browsed the shelves, something caught my eye. Well, more like someone. A blue-haired boy, a little bit taller than me who was wearing the same uniform that I was, was standing only a few yards away from me- the one I saw at lunch. The student chose a few snacks and a to-go sushi box. After a few minutes of looking over everything, he still seemed like he hadn't noticed me. The other male bought the food and left.

For some strange reason, I felt the urge to follow him, so I ran out the door without buying anything. It was like my body had its own mind, and that I didn't have any control of it. Before I knew it, my hand had grabbed his shoulder, and he turned around. Somehow, I instantly regained the ability to control myself. I withdrew my hand as quickly as I could as he gave me a slightly annoyed, questioning look.

"S-Sorry…." I blushed and turned away. And then, my stomach just had to remind of my hunger in this place, time, and situation. 'Why does this have to happen to me now of all times!?" I thought.I could already tell that my face and ears were a deep shade of red, and tried to hide my face by turning away.

"A-Anyway…. Sorry about that…." I had just taken a few steps forward when he said something.

"Che…. Here. Take it." When I turned to face him, I saw that he was holding out his plastic bag, which looked like it contained something in a plastic container. I reluctantly took it and looked inside.

"You can have it. I don't really eat sushi anyway…" I was grateful, because it's not everyday you meet someone who will just give you their food when you're hungry, right? Or maybe that was just plain suspicious….

"Um…. Thanks, really, but I can't accept it…." I started.

The unknown peer just sighed and said "Just take it… It's not like I need it anyway….. I just bought it just in case I got hungry sometime…." He turned around and waved me off as he walked away into the night with his hands in his pockets.

Just realizing I had no idea who he was, I yelled out "Wait! What's your name?!"

He turned around and smirked. "It's Saruhiko. Saruhiko Fushimi." With that, he disappeared into the dark streets.

I got some of the information about the characters from Wikipedia, so it might not seem familiar if you only watched the anime. And I'm sorry, because in this chapter, Misaki is extremely OOC. He'll get more "Misaki-ish" later on in the story, because they're in high school right now, so I thought he would have a some-what different kind of personality before he met Fushimi.
