"Ritsuka! Breakfast! I made your favorite!"
Ritsuka was awoken in the early morning from yet another oddly disturbing dream by the familiar voice of his mother calling up to him. He sat up groggily in his bed and wiped the sleep from his eyes, completely ignoring what the woman downstairs had said. She had been getting worse and worse every day and Ritsuka tried his best to avoid her whenever possible, especially when she cooked for him knowing all too well that is was most likely a trap. He slowly made his way out of bed and quickly picked out his normal blue jeans and a blue sweat shirt to wear to school before packing all of his books and supplies into his bag. He then took a deep breath and headed down the stairs and did his best to make a bee line for the front door.
"Ritsuka! Don't you want any breakfast?" Ritsuka winced slightly when he was seen by his mother and stopped only long enough to answer her.
"No thanks mom, I'm not hungry."
Ritsuka then made a dash out the door before the woman even had a chance to reply or get upset and throw something at him as she usually did. Sure enough however, as soon as the door closed behind him Ritsuka could hear a loud crash come from inside and felt like he dodged a bullet this time. With that small relief, he began his walk to school feeling like today might actually be a good day especially since he wouldn't be going to school with any new cuts or bruises. As he walked however, Ritsuka couldn't help but to become lost in his thoughts about his life. He had found himself in this situation several times a day now, ever since the first night that he began having some very odd dreams. The dreams started almost two months ago and his life was getting more and more frustrating ever since. His mother had never been as volatile as she had been lately and it was taking less and less to set her off. His thoughts then drifted towards his school life which frustrated him even more. The only good thing about going to school lately was being able to get out of the house but even his friends had begun to get him agitated. Yuiko had been more annoying than usual and was constantly asking about either his bruises or Soubi; Ritsuka did still enjoy seeing the girl however, he just wished that she could be at least slightly more normal and talk just a little less. Yayoi on the other hand, was starting to get more defensive of the pink haired girl and was starting to actually be mean to Ritsuka, which only pissed him off; it wasn't his fault that Yuiko didn't like him and that she followed Ritsuka around everywhere. Even Soubi had become a source of stress these days but not for the same reasons that everyone else had been bothering him. Soubi had actually been the only thing able to put a smile on Ritsuka's face for months now. The problem was that for the past few months, Ritsuka hadn't been able to be his usual self around the tall blonde. Every time he saw Soubi, he went red in the face and his stomach began to flutter and he found it harder and harder just to carry on normal conversation. Ritsuka was scared to death of the idea of being in love with blonde and was now spending massive amounts of mental energy trying to convince himself that he absolutely was not in love with Soubi.
After a relatively short and now depressing walk, Ritsuka arrived at the school gates. He was very early as he usually was these days and proceeded through the courtyard and through the front doors. Ritsuka had grown to actually really like being in the school building so early before most of the students arrived; it was peaceful and quiet, which had become a rarity for the small boy. He leisurely made his way up the small flight of stairs and to his normal classroom that was still empty with the exception of his over emotional cat eared teacher who looked up from the papers on her desk as soon as he walked through the door.
"Good morning Ritsuka-kun." She greeted him with the same warm smile that she did every day.
"Good morning Sensei." Ritsuka replied in a cool tone as he made his way to his seat and sat his bag down on the floor next to him.
"How are you doing this morning Ritsuka-kun? You look well." Ritsuka looked up from his bag at the woman with a blank expression.
"I'm fine."
"Ok…"
The woman let out a small sigh before returning to her papers, not wanting to upset the already uneven tempered boy. Ritsuka then reached into his bag and pulled out a small sketchbook and began doodling aimlessly in an attempt to keep his mind off his problems for as long as possible. His peace and quiet didn't last long however and it was only a few minutes before the classroom door swung open and he was pulled from his drawing by a familiar voice.
"Good morning Ritsuka-kun!" Ritsuka let out a small frustrated sigh as the taller pink haired girl ran over to his desk and promptly sat down next to him; he really didn't feel ready to deal with her energy just yet.
"Hey."
"Are you ok Ritsuka-kun? Is something bothering you? You seem upset." Ritsuka could already feel his frustration growing in the form on a bubbling feeling in the pit of his stomach but he did his best to take a few deep breathes to calm himself.
"I'm fine Yuiko; I just didn't sleep very well so I'm tired." This caused the girl a great deal of discontent and she immediately lowered her ears and gained a fierce frown.
"Ok Ritsuka-kun…I can leave you alone…if you want." Ritsuka hated hearing the sadness in her voice but he couldn't deny that he did in fact really just wanted to be left alone today.
"Just give me a bit ok?"
"Ok…."
The girl then turned around in her seat to be facing the front of the room and began reading a book while Ritsuka resumed his sketching feeling slightly relieved that Yuiko hadn't made a fuss over him today. He continued to doodle for a few minutes and was beginning to feel a little more relaxed until the door opened once again and he was disturbed once more, this time by a very unwanted face.
"Yuiko-kun! I've been looking for you; you said you would wait for me in the courtyard."
"Oh! I'm sorry Yayoi-kun…I forgot." The long haired boy gave an angry scoff at this response before walking over to be in front of the two desks that Yuiko and Ritsuka were occupying.
"Forgot? He sure does make you forget a lot." Ritsuka then shot the boy a glare, feeling angered by the tone in his voice when referring to him, before trying to just ignore him by returning to his drawing.
"I'm sorry Yayoi-kun…I promise I won't forget anymore." Yayoi seemed to completely ignore the girl's apology and instead stepped forward slightly and placed his hands firmly on the top of Ritsuka's desk before addressing him in a nasty tone.
"What is your problem anyway Aoyagi?" Ritsuka then gently laid his pencil down onto the desk and looked up at the boy in front of him.
"What do you mean?"
"Yuiko comes to see you every morning and is always with you and all you do is ignore her or demean her." This caused Ritsuka's stomach to churn once again in anger; he might not have exactly liked the way the girl followed him around but she was still his closest friend and he never treated her badly. Despite his anger, Ritsuka once again did his best to suppress his feelings in an attempt to avoid a confrontation and just get on with his day.
"Shouldn't you be getting to class Yayoi?" The boy gave a small growl at this before storming out of the room without another word. Once he was gone, Ritsuka let out a small sigh of relief and closed his sketchbook before replacing it in his bag.
"I'm sorry about him Ritsuka-kun….I don't know why he is like that."
"It's ok." Ritsuka and Yuiko both then pulled out their textbooks as the rest of their class began quickly filing in the room as the bell was ringing to signal the start of class.
Ritsuka felt a little better after class had begun, knowing that this was one of the rare times of the day that he wouldn't be bothered and had something to focus on. The first half of the school day went by quickly and it seemed like no time at all before it was lunch time and Ritsuka was none too pleased about it. Ritsuka had really come to loathe lunch time; it was always just an excuse for the other children to poke fun at Yuiko for something or made snide comments about him behind his back. Unfortunately today was no different and it wasn't long at all before the pink haired girl was in tears as the other girls tormented her.
"Yuiko, why do you always sit with him?"
"B-because Ritsuka-kun is my friend…"
"Well we are your friends too ya know! You always just follow him round like a lost puppy and he is a freak anyway."
"N-no…Ritsuka-kun is-" Her words were cut off by an icy toned voice from Ritsuka.
"It's ok Yuiko, they can say what they want and if you want to go sit with them then go." Yuiko then wiped the few tears from her eyes before replying.
"I want to sit with Ritsuka-kun." The band of girls gave angry scoffs at this.
"Fine, whatever!" They then finally left the two alone and they finished their lunches in a somewhat uncomfortable silence as Ritsuka did his best not to focus of the bubbling in his gut.
After lunch Ritsuka was happy to return to the lesson of the day and was more than ready for the day to just be over. He sat quietly in his desk and listened to Shinonome Sensei intently for the rest of the day until the last bell rang to send the students home for the day. Ritsuka let out a long relieved sigh as he gathered his things while all the other students did the same before gathering together in their usual groups and began talking and laughing together. The day had already left Ritsuka emotionaly drained and he was hoping for a quick exit from the school and was actually hoping to go and visit Soubi. His hopes were quickly dashed however as Yayoi burst into the room and made his way quickly to be by Yuiko's side.
"Would you like to walk home with me today Yuiko-kun?" The pink haired girl gave a small blush at this and stammered through her thoughts for an answer.
"Um…I think I want to walk with Ritsuka-kun today."
"What?! Why?! He didn't even ask you to walk with him!" Ritsuka then shot the boy another angry glare from his place in his seat before cutting in before Yuiko could answer.
"I have no problem walking her home."
"Well what if I want her to walk with me?!" The students then began to slowly gather around all the commotion that Yayoi was causing but Ritsuka ignored them completely.
"Well it's her choice Yayoi-kun." Yuiko then began crying once again, feeling overwhelmed with the situation; she just wished that the two boys could get along.
"I-I want Ritsuka-kun to walk me home…." A few of the students that had gathered around then began to chime in on the situation much to Ritsuka's distain.
"Yuiko why do you like him so much?"
"Yeah! He is a freak!"
"He really is weird Yuiko, just walk home with Yayoi."
With each outburst Ritsuka became more and more angry and the feeling in his gut was quickly becoming overpowering. He was giving it all his effort to just grit his teeth and bear all the comments and was just about to walk out of the room, before one last comment came flying from the crowd.
"It's probably best if you stay away from him Yuiko, you might end up like his brother." As soon as those words hit Ritsuka's ears, his vision went blood red and he felt something snap inside him. He then suddenly gave a few twitches of his ears and his eyes twitched once before he shot up from his desk, slamming his hands down hard on his desk.
"That's enough!"
The boy yelled as loud as he could and it was enough to catch the attention of the woman at the front of the room and make all the students fall silent. He then began to scan the room with fiery eyes until they fell on the pink haired girl next to him.
"You! You need to stand up for yourself for once! If you want to do something then just do it!" The girl was in complete shock at the way her friend was speaking to her and was slightly scared by the look in his eyes.
"B-but-"
"But nothing! That's another thing; you asked too many damn questions all the time. Some things are just none of your business!" This brought large tears to her eyes.
"Ritsuka…"
"Don't call me that!" They boy then shifted his gaze to the wide eyed boy just in front of him. "And you! You are just an arrogant ass! You can't force some to like you and if they don't then you need to just leave it alone!"
"H-how dare you!"
"How dare I?! You are the one that won't just let it go! Instead you go around trying to force yourself on her when she clearly doesn't like you." This was enough to leave Yayoi speechless and Ritsuka then shifted his gaze to the gaggle of students gathered all around him. "But you are all the worst! You all just go around thinking you can do and say whatever the hell you want! You only pick on others because you hate yourselves! You are all the most pathetic kinds of people." One of the girls was brave enough to spit a comment out at this.
"Looks like Aoyagi has finally lost it." This was definitely the wrong thing to say and in one swift movement Ritsuka had the girl's shirt collar gripped tightly in his hands and had her face pulled only inches from his.
"What did you just say? I don't think I heard you." Ritsuka's voice was absolutely terrifying and the girl was now shaking in his hands.
"I-I…didn't s-say anything."
"That's what I thought."
"Ritsuka-kun! Let her go! And watch your language! This is a classroom." The teacher's shaky voice pierced through Ritsuka's ears and caused him to shot her a nasty glare as he released the scared girl from his grasp.
"I said don't call me that! And I'll say whatever the hell I damn well please!"
"Not in my classroom you won't!"
"And what are you going to do? Cry me to death? You have no backbone; you let your students walk all over you and they don't even respect you and you don't respect yourself enough to command their respect! But what else can you expect from someone your age that still has their ears." Shinonome was trying her best to fight back her tears, knowing far too well how right the boy was.
"Ritsuka that is enough! You can't talk to me or your classmates that way. You a-" Her words were cut off by the young boy whose face was now bright red in anger.
"For the last time, I am not Ritsuka! That damn brat is the reason I'm here in the first place! He can't even stand up for himself! And somebody needed to put all of you in your place!"
"Ritsuka what on earth are you talking about?!" Shinonome sensei was now completely distraught and everyone watched on as the boy gave her a very sinister smirk with an equally sinister glare.
"My name is Riku….and I am all of you peoples worst nightmare."
