Chapter.. 3 (Miyamura's Past)

  Next day at school

“Hey, Hori what happened? You look down!”

“No.. I just. Hey Yu-chan Are you going to Karaoke tonight!?”

“YOU COMING!” The girl shouted in surprise

“Yeah, I wanna give it try & have some fun in a while”

After school, At Karaoke. Hori leaned at Yuki

“Hey Yuki, you said we’re going to Karaoke but why these boys are here?”

  Kazama & other 2 Boys were there with the 2 girls. All of them having fun singing loudly.

Yuki laughed “The more the merrier”

Kazama leant to Hori “Hori-san, you Okay!

You’ve been quite down since you came”

“I’m!!”

“Did you talk to Miyamura!?”

Hori stood up & left the room, Kazama followed her.

 Outta the room Kazama grabbed her hand “don’t go, He is not worthy of you?”

“Why do you care?”

“Cuz I like You, Hori-san”

“Why...!”

“Cuz, I always watch you. Your silky blond hair, you caring character, your kind voice, your smile__”

“Stop, that’s not me. You don’t know the true me” the girl looked down in despair

“So show me”

“I only need Miyamura to see me” Hori shouted in pain

Kazama let go of her hand & said “He rejected you, right?”

“No, He.. didn’t answer”

“I think He is distancing himself from you__” (Ring Ring)  Hori picked up her phone ignoring Kazama

“Sota is that you? What are you doing on Miyamura’s phone?”

“Onii-san picked me up, when you didn’t come”

“Ah, I totally forgot. Where are you now?”

“I’m at the Karaoke”

“What!!” The little boy came out of the 

  Next room to see his sister’s back in front of him he called “Onee-chan”

“What brought you here, Sota?” Hori asked running to him

“Onii-san came to our home & found me there but Onii-san’s girlfriend brought us all here”

“Huh!!” Hori with Kazama opened the door to see a girl clenching to Miyamura

“Hori-san !!!” Miyamura gasped

“Miyamura!!”

A short black haired girl with miniskirt wearing deep red rouge and long eyelashes �"dolling herself so much- sat and put her leg over the other saying coldly

“Who is She...?”

 Miyamura tried to reach Hori but she flew out In shock. The black haired sexy girl grabbed his hand But Miyamura said “Sorry, Yoshioka” and let go of her running after Hori

 Outta the Karaoke “Hori-san, please wait” He reached her to explain

The Girl turned to him agitated “Miyamura!! Ah.. Sorry about me being a bother.. & thanks for bringing Sota” She said while barely holding her tears Avoiding eye meeting. Miyamura held her strongly “Don’t go,  I have to tell you__”  Hori let go of him “Sorry, Miyamura. But Stay Here.. Away from me for a while” He couldn’t follow her, just stood under the black sky drenched with guilt...

 3 drunken dudes pushed the boy to the wall of the karaoke in the middle of the street “Hey you, you pumped into me 2 secs. Ago. you should apologize” one of the drunk dudes ordered picking up on him while the other grabbed his shirt

Miyamura looked down and took the first punch right in the face he didn’t fall

“Hey you b*****d. Have no manners!” The other hit his stomach.. People began gathering, Hori, Kazama came. Hori shouted “enough, someone help him” Kazama called “hey you, stop that”

 One of the guys shouted

“My name is Koji, You better know it from now on” (Bang) He Punched Miyamura’s face hard which made him fall. Miyamura’s mouth began bleeding. They were about to leave but Miyamura stood up laughing sadly �"as a mocking- “Hehh, Is that all you got?”

“You b*****d”

Kazama said “Miyamura, you fool what he is doing provoking them like that?"

  A Strong voice from behind < “He just wants to feel”

Hori & Kazama turned to see the red head Toru standing watching the absurd scene

Kazama gasped “You..?”

Hori asked “What do you mean?”

“He wants to feel like a human being, do you know the simplest feeling a human body can feel?”

Hori glimpsed the beaten up Miyamura’s eyes. They were completely dead.. He was so giving up, doesn’t want to fight back or do anything else. She turned quickly to Toru with wide-eyes realizing the answer

Toru sighted “Yes my dear, it’s pain”

 -Bang- everyone gasped when they broke some glass-bottle over the boy’s head. Hori put her trembled hand on her mouth in shock, can’t continue to watch.

Toru walked in slowly “That’s enough”

Koji < “And who the heck are you?”  One of the men tried to lay his hand on Toru but Toru in one quick move held the boy’s neck and raised his whole body in the air, slamming it on the floor. Koji rushed in just to receive a direct punch to the face knocked most of his teeth the other man tried to escape but Toru called smirking

“Stop, who is gonna clean the trash?”

The man returned carrying his dudes and went running away

  Hori went running to help Miyamura

Toru called “he just fainted, Can I leave him to you, Dear?”

Kazama and others took the boy while Hori went after Toru “Thanks,...”

“I’m Toru... Miyamura’s older brother”

“Aniki!” =(Big brother)

“Take care of him”

“Wait a min.”  She ran after him

“Can you please tell me?”

“About?”

 “Everything, anything. I just recognized, I don’t know anything about him? I want to know” the girl looked down continuing “Miyamura...-san is always nice to me. He helps me a lot but he has that sad look up on his face all the time even when he smile he pushes himself to fake his laugh” Hori still talking while Toru is getting surprised When She said “He cried heavily yesterday”

“He did!!”

“Yeah, what happened to his mother? Can you tell me?”

Toru smiled “I think you'll know soon”

 

  Miyamura opened his eyes muttering adjusting his eyes to the light sensing a familiar feeling “Huh, Where I am?”

“You woke up? Thanks god”

“Hori-san, what are you doing here?”

“Huh! That’s my house”

“Ah, sorry. I’ll leave now”  she grabbed him lightly treating his wounds & whispered quietly “I am sorry, Miyamura” looked down

She sighed “Sota & Mom went to my grandma’s. You can stay here”

She stood up going to the kitchen but stopped when she heard Miyamura screaming quietly in pain “Why.... Why are you always like that? Why do you help me? Why you..? Ever since I began coming here I always want to see more of you. I want to know all of you. I am always happy being with you.. But I can’t.. I can’t let you...

Sorry Hori-san, I won’t be coming more” 

He left leaving Hori frozen by his words, couldn’t run after him.

  Miyamura kept walking till he stopped at the same grass hill by the river saying “If I told her about what happened would she still accept me. Am I not allowed to be happy? Arrgghhh” And while he was screaming He sensed hands rounding him gently he turned “Hori-sa..!!  Yoshioka?”

“Hori!! Might she be the one at the Karaoke? Ah yeah It was pleasing sight to see her running to your side after getting your a*s beaten. Pathetic b*****d”

“What do you want from me?” Miyamura asked looking away

The girl heeled up and kissed him forcefully he pushed her back disgusted “What the..!”

“That’s right, you are not allowed to be happy, Miyamura the murderer, No... BYAKKO the murderer”

 Miyamura felt Goosebumps over his whole body; He crossed his arms trembling in fear & with scared eyes fell on his knees staring at the ground

 Yoshioka kept calling “you b*****d, you left me alone in despair, Ran out after your mother’s death. You are nothing, you have no one by your side & you’ll always be like this”

“No.. I.. we are new”

“You really think so. It’s just a matter of time till they know the One called Byakko & No one will want you”

“What should I do?”

“Come Miyamura, Come I’ll help you. I will always be here to comfort you” 

  Miyamura reached his hand to go with her but the girl fell down when She saw Toru helping him up smiling “Here we go, Lets go home Miyamura”

Yoshioka was about to call him “Miyamura__” But she stopped when She received Toru’s Gaze of threat. She thought [That Mad dog. Soon, I’ll get rid of both of you]

“Now whom should I call” She brought up Miyamura’s phone from her pocket searching for Hori’s Name then pressed Call
