I got up, stretching my aching body from another night of this bed and looked in the mirror. I was speechless by my messy white hair. Later, I went into the bathroom, took a shower and brushed my teeth.

Dressing up in the white shirt, a red tartan tie, a black blazer and a pair of black trousers, I rushed downstairs and saw the maids preparing for breakfast. My father was sitting down at the dining room table with coffee in his hand. Apparently, he was reading a newspaper.

[Mornin'! Ryuga!]

[*yawn* Good morning…]

Both of my brothers noticed me and waved. In response to them, I waved them back.

I sat down amid the sound of the clock ticking on the wall.

What time was now?

I glanced on it.

-7.01-

I had about an hour and a half until my class start. In reality, it took around 15 minutes to arrive at my school. The chef had finished cooking our breakfast and the maids were busy preparing it on our plates and once it has done, of course, we ate it.

A few minutes later~

I wasn't late. I had arrived five minutes earlier before the class start. I wiped my forehead and headed in. I could feel their intense gaze on me…until a certain playboy in red hair arrived magnificently at school while holding a crimson rose in his hand.

[Hello ma ladies~ Everyone's favorite, Akashi Onimaru has arrived!]

[Yes! Akashi-sama!!!]

He gracefully presented the rose to one of the girls and the target who received it swooned in the sea of happiness, probably forever unable to extricate herself from it while the others looked at her with jealousy, envy and probably...hatred?

Good job Akashi! Just don't come here!

I ignored the commotion and went to meet Haru at my locker only to see him sitting on the ground, leaning on wall boringly while waiting for me.

[Finally, you arrived! How long do you think I wait here?]

Haru cried in his usually high-pitched tone.

[Who knows…20 minutes?]

I uninterestingly said while opened my locker and picked up my notebook for next class.

[Agh! Why do you always know that?!]

H almost went raged.

[It was written all over your face.]

I rolled my eyes. I have long discovered that every time he asked for notes, he will appear in the promised place exactly twenty minutes before the class start. Why did he keep asking me the same question again and again?

I could hardly comprehend of what exactly come into his mind every time he asked.

One hand inside my blazer's pocket and another one holding a few pieces of papers, I walked along with him in the long corridor to our class.

[I need to go to teacher's office to send my work to that zom-Mr.Peterson]

I gave a sidelong glanced and told him.

[You almost call him a zombie, aren't you?]

[If he heard that…]

Haru's mouth noticeably twitched in pain grimace.

[We're in this together. You won't leave me, right? After all, I've been helping you with notes all the time.]

I put my arm around his neck and said, grinning darkly.

Sweat trickled down his face. He averted his eyes from my threatening eyes. Haru couldn't help but started imagining me holding a knife while talking the same thing, at the same time evilly grinning like a mad man.

I left him who stopped at our class's entrance, raising my hand and waved him without looking back.

Haru sighed in relief.

I kept on walking until I arrived at the office.

*Slides*

I stepped in, frowning after looking at this place which mostly empty of other people. I could see one woman busily checking through her pile of files from inside a file holder.

[*yawn* S'cuse me…]

I lazily said. Being startled, she turned to the source of the voice and couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise.

[You are…Ryuga Mikado?]

A lady in blue turned around and saw me. She asked me kindly and I nodded to answer her.

[Yes, is there anything I can help you?]

She added.

[Mr. Peterson. Do you know where he is?]

I coolly answered.

[Hmm? Ah…He has a meeting with the rest of other teachers. You might need to wait for him.]

I frowned, not expecting the news.

[Oh…Can I enter his office?]

I suddenly asked, slightly scrunching my face.

[Sure…Just go that way]

She gently nodded and pointed out Mr.Peterson's office.

Once I have done, I slightly bowed towards her for her kindness.

Without any word, I back to my class, bringing all my stuff inside my bag. The class was empty devoid of any presence. I knew that they were in the science laboratory.

Dropping the bag in the back seat, I sank down into my chair for a while before continue going to the lab.

[Sigh…Biology.]

Have you ever wonder what inside a dragon would look like? Could you name the cells inside it the same way as other creatures in this world were named? Did the processes, for example, where did it originally come from also resemble the life forms inside this world? I have so many questions and I have been having that thought ever since I learned biology. It didn't have any different much with a lizard…probably.

I slowly sighed.

*****

The loud bell rung which shows that classes for today have come to end. All of the classes eagerly ran out with exception of me.

Reaching out his hand, Haru pulled me up with an incredible effort. Tatsuya had texted me that he was on the school's park. We met with Tatsuya who was looking quite miserable with tears pouring down his cheeks in the school's park.

[What's wrong with you? Already lost all of your self-esteem?]

Haru asked Tatsuya, slightly expanded his eyes.

[…]

A vein popped on Tatsuya's forehead.

[I felt you have some sort of pain.]

Another vein popped.

[Maybe you lost someone?]

Tatsuya's face became completely dark.

[Should I buy you a gift?]

Tatsuya clenched his fist.

[Maybe it will make you better…]

Tatsuya suddenly stood and encircled his arm around Haru's neck. He felt rage tearing his lungs, plucking at his nerve until he wanted to strangle Haru's neck.

[AGH!!!]

Such a beautiful scene…

Now, where is my phone again? I couldn't help but inserted my right hand into my trousers pocket and swiftly took the phone out. I turned it on. After scrolling, I clicked on the camera's application and raised my phone to take the beautiful scene which pretty much could enter history known as .

Although…

Won't he be killed that way?

[…]

[AGH!!! IT HURTS YOU GODDAMN KUROTATSU!!!]

*****

Meanwhile~

After giving a flying kiss and saying goodbye to his , Akashi took his time to meet his friends at the park. He went to a cafeteria and bought a few cups of drink for them.

Soon, Akashi walked through a huge area that contained many trees, plant, and statues which stretching to the area behind the school building as well as filled with a field with lush green grass that has been mowed obviously quite recently.

[Yo~ Did you miss me?]

He greeted his friends, dramatically raised his black sunglasses to on top of his head and gave a finger gun under his chin. Tatsuya already stopped and Haru was rubbing his painful neck as well as his aching body.

[Nope]

[Not really.]

[…]

[Ouch! My kokoro…]

Akashi could hear his heart breaking after hearing that. He touched his c.h.e.s.t in a dramatic manner.

I had ignored his entire existence like he was never there. Right now, I stared down at fluffy ball who is rubbing against me. I could feel a light breeze grazed my face as the sun hidden behind the cloud on top of my head. I was standing near the bushes, slowly squatted down and hugged my knees.

I would guess he weighed more than sixteen pounds. He had long whiskers, a black coat and a broad nose, like a muzzle of a lynx. When I scratched his old scarred ears and stroked his back, he would swish his front paw from side to side, bent at the wrist flexing the claws on the ground. He would rumble in his deep throaty purr and push the back of his neck against my hand.

[Purrr-Meow…Meow!]

T-Too cute!

He nimbly hopped on, wanting to land on my t.h.i.g.h. I was startled and stumbled with my b.u.t.t crashed against the ground. I caught it and grabbed his wrist with a smile plastered on my face behind my mask.

[Hmm? I guess I should give you name huh?]

With my half-closed eyes, I pondered. I suddenly looked pitifully at his scared ears and I tilted my head to the side. A sudden inspiration hit me.

[Alright, I just call you 'Scar' then.]

I stood up, hugging it in my arms. I walked and glanced at the red hair youth who was busily having a conversation with Tatsuya and Haru with a paper cup of drink in each of their hand.

[Neko Ryuu! There's only ice coffee left]

[Tch…Why are you even exist Akage?]

[The earth needs~ me so that I could spread my love to everyone around me.]

[…]

Vanity. This is no doubt vanity, isn't it?
