✴ Mitsuru is crying over his book, clenching his fists and leaning himself on the window sill. Until, the door creeks open, Mitsuru became alerted form the sound and shouted," Mahiru!" But to his surprise..it was his mother. She limps her way towards him, holding an alcohol bottle in her hand. "Close...The curtain..." Mitsuru did exactly as instructed without saying another word. "Now tell me...where is your dumbass sister? ..." She swings the glass bottle in the air, while Mitsuru is drowning in tears and filled with fright. He whimpers,"I....I-I don't know..." Without flinching, she smashes the bottle in his head. The glass bottle shattered into pieces, Mitsuru fell, unconscious. However, his mother grabbed him by his old, tattered shirt and screamed at him.
"DON'T YOU DARE, EVER REPLY TO ME LIKE THAT!!! I'm your f*cking mother! I f*cking gave birth to you!!" She looks down and pants, that's when she noticed that there were so much blood flowing from Mitsuru's head. Due to this, his mother screams...It was loud and clear, that it shock Mitsuru to wake up. "You know what...I wish I never gave birth to you!!... " Mitsuru heard it all, despite the blood and glass scattered around him, he smiled and said,
"I'm sorry. ..mother...I got your clothes all dirty...They're covered in blood... " He looked innocently into his mother's ravaged eyes. "Mitsuru!...NO!!" Mahiru arrived just in time, she runs quickly toward him in terror.
"Stay away from him! You BITCH!!" She screams as she pushes her mother to ground. Mahiru, then turns to Mitsuru, she wipes his tears and told him gently.
"It's ok,Mitsuru. ..I'm here..."
"I missed you Mahiru. ..I missed you so much..."
"I'm so sorry, Mitsuru. .." She leaned her face against his. "It's ok!" Mahiru quickly looked up at him in shock.
"It was for you...I'll do anything for you...I'll even die for you...!" Mahiru's face was filled with horror...She turned around, wacthing her mother pant on the floor, until she suddenly began screaming. "AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!....I'LL F*CKING KILL YOU!!" She jumps up and punches Mahiru right in the face, where she fell backwards. The mother then threw another punch at her, then another and another.
"What a useless bitch!! DIE!! DIE!!" Mahiru started screaming while her mother was screaming out curse words at her. The fusion of the two took a huge impact on Mitsuru. He held his ears, but that wasn't enough to block out the terror. While witnessing all of this, his eyes were full rage and anxiety, yet he didn't know what to do.
His mother began lifted Mahiru up by grabbing hold of her hair and slamming her on the floor. Beating her up cruelly. Suddenly-"STOP!!!!!" The mother stopped immediately while looking at Mitsuru in complete rage. But the little 7 year old stood up in front of her, full with courage and bravery, with his face covered in blood, slowly dripping down his face.
"What the hell do you think you are?!" She stands up and moves closer to him,she releases her clenched fist to relax it a little bit, then she forms a stronger clenched fist.
"NO! !DON'T! DON'T DO ANYTHING TO MITSURU! !!PLEASE!! TAKE IT OUT ON ME! !" Mahiru cries out, but she was ignored by her and Mitsuru looked more frightened than before...he did say that he would die for her...then maybe...This is it...
"You little rat! I'll end you! Right her and NOW!!" She threw a powerful punch....but Mitsuru didn't fall...Mahiru did.. She stood infront of him to protect him. "You damn bitch!" She kicked her down and looks at her like the job's done. She then leaves. After the door closes, Mitsuru fell on the ground crying over her...Mahiru was also in tears..."Mahiru! why?! Why did you do that?!" She looked at him as her
eyes were flooded with tears and smiled. "You're too young to risk your life for me...But I'll happily do it. ..Because I've lived alot more years of abuse than you...I'm used to it."✴
🔴I'm sorry, Mahiru...You had to suffer, all because of me! I want to get out of your life now! I need to give YOU a better LIFE! But...I don't know how?.. 🔴

I'm waiting outside by the gates because I received a notification that two students haven't arrived yet,after leaving school for the day. They've already sent the students messages to tell them to come back as soon as possible. However, because these two students are MY students, I have to stay outside and wait for them to come back so that I can deal with them! Damn it! Why are they taking so long?!
"Oh! So you finally decided to show up!" I'm pissed off right now! It's freaking 10 o'clock at night! What the hell have these two been doing?!
"Sorry. .We got caught in a fight..."
"Don't lie to me!" I wasn't completely confinced. "But it's the truth..!"Mitsuru continued pleading this little tale.
"Well, you wouldn't have been caught if you just came to school on time!" I opened the gate for them. But Sayuri seemed quiet, and ashamed. I now realise what kind of fight it was...
"ID pass." I opened my hand out while he was trying to get past me.
These students need their schools ID pass whenever they leave or enter the school. Mitsuru hands his to me...
"Mitsuru....Fukuyama..." I looked at his card in confusion. I sensed something wasn't right about this name.
"Yeah..."
"Your last name is...Fukuyama..." Where have I heard this name before?
"That's rude!..You've been calling me by my first name all this time?.." I recognise this name...it sounds so familiar... Do I know someone else with this name?...
"Hey! Can I have my card back? " I was alerted by his voice, when I realised I've been distracted over this name. I calmly returned it back to him as he yawned and walked away. As I was inspecting Sayuri ' s ID, I remembered something I had to remind him. "That's right! I expect you to be in class tomorrow morning!" He waved behind his back, as he brushed it off. He better be there or else! I turned around, and returned Sayuri her card. However she silently accepted it, and swiftly shift passed me. As I look at her leaving, I had sense of worry and concern for her so I asked; "Sayuri!" She looked back at me with her blank eyes, I can feel there's something wrong.
"Is something wrong?" I seeked for answers as I asked her. "Are you hurt anywhere?.." She looked at me, silently. However she quickly replyed, "No...I'm fine. " And turned away. Even though, I was very concerned, the name 'Fukuyama ' crossed my mind and an image of young highschool girl with long shiny hair pops up. Her name was... "Mahiru Fukuyama..." Isn't she Mitsuru's older sister?
26/4/2017
"Let me warn you..." Mitsuru growls as he is sitting on his desk, his arms crossed and his brows furrowed. "I'm in a VERY pissed off mood today...!"
"Yeah..I can tell" He looks very menacing. Here I am, alone with Mitsuru in a classroom, he's sitting right infront of me so that I can teach him everything that he doesn't know! Yes...This is me wasting my Sunday. .
"Alright! What's 5×7?! " I don't expect him to know the answer, but because he didn't get it last time, I'll have to start from scratch!
"35...! Am I done?.." I froze.... "What?!" I yelled in surprise, as I pounced on his desk ahead. "What?..I got it right. " I shook myself, to return to my sane self. "What?.. You didn't know that yesterday...Do you know your timetables.?"
"They were the first things I had to learn..I'm not stupid, I know all of these stuff.." I was hoping that he really IS stupid but I'm glad that I don't have to waste my time and energy on him.
"Right! Let's start off with this equation" I began writing on the chalk board, a fairly easy equation. I turn around and he looks so freakin clueless! Has he never seen a question like this before?! I let out a long sigh,as I am prepared to take on this terrible journey...
About half an hour later, Mitsuru slams his notebook on my desk, claiming he's done every question I gave him. I skim through his answers and surprisingly he's got all of them right!...Except one...
"Good work. Except you got this wrong. " He looks over in confusion. "This one right here, the answer is a negative. " He looks clueless, this guy really doesn't know anything. I sigh as I say, "Fine..I guess i have to teach you integers. .. "
This is really bad..What did he learn in high school? He's going to be 18 and if he doesn't pass his finals, he won't be able to graduate from this school...I really need to help him focus on his studies, from which I have observed, he can do well, the problem is he doesn't want to...If he understands something properly then I know he can study well..He seems to be good at that but let's see in his other studies...
"Which highschool did you go to?" Mitsuru stopped writing. It took some time for him to answer but I'm not convinced that he even went to school.
"I don't remember. ." He finally said, looking up. "Don't lie to me. " I narrowed my eyes at him and he froze.
"I know you haven't been to school at all...tell me..Why? " There must have been a reason but all he did was look down.
"Did you go to middle school?.."
"I..I did" He said quietly. "Your lying." I felt a soft sting from my hand, I realised that I smacked my hand right on my desk that made him startle. I close my eyes and back on my reclining chair. My arms fold, as a sigh escapes my lips, I didn't want to pressure him that it may lead him to stop learning but I was full of curiosity to know; why he didn't go to school?
"Be honest..." There was complete silence. I didn't want to mention this, but I'm left with no choice.
"...If your sister was able to go school,..then why couldn't you? "
🔴MITSURU FUKUYAMA 🔴
What?! How...how does he know?! She..he..knows about Mahiru! However, the question remains...how MUCH does he know?..."I..." He kept urging me to answer correctly without staining it with white lies.
"How the hell do you know?...-" "About Mahiru? " He interrupted as if he knew all of my secrets through her. " We knew each other from high school..Answer my question" he leaned his head forward as if interegating me.
"I..was home schooled..We didn't have enough money..." I finally confessed.
"Did Mahiru teach you?.." I nodded, I didn't have the courage to face him, I kept my head down low until I felt someone patting my head . It's him...but why? I don't need his sympathy.
"It's ok..Don't worry....carry on with your work" He returned back to his desk as I continued my work. But can I trust him with the information that he knows about me? ..
An hour or so went by, and my hand is killing me! The amount of writing I did, ached my hand to stop processing. I stretch my arms out, moaning at the same time. "I'm done!"
"No you're not. " How dare he say that so bluntly? I'm exhausted! It felt like I've been doing this for hours!
"Take out your English book. " I looked at him as if he has lost his mind! "You're falling behind, Mitsuru. You need to catch up on every subject... " His face looked stern and his tone of voice was serious.
"You are way too strict.."
"Oh..that brings back memories.." Mr Shintaru looks up, as he's daydreaming about the past. "Back then, i used to be the most strictest teacher in the whole school...After the principal of course.." I looked at him in confusion.
"The principal is strict?" I asked looking for a reasonable answer.
"Of course he is! Trust me, you don't want to mess with him.."
"By the way, Shintaru Sensei..." he looked back at me with a retarded face. "What?.."
"Well, it's just that you've never called me that before...No one does...Except the girls..." There was a moment of silence..."Let's agree that I'll (you'll ) never call you (me) that again!" We both said at the same time. It was a very embarrassing situation. Now where was I? ..
"Right! ..As I was saying. .You won't tell anyone about my older sister, will you?.." I had to be sure because if anyone finds out her name they'll know about what happened 10 years ago...
"I won't. .but why?.." I glared at him silently. "I don't want anyone to know..."
"That's fine by me..I don't want anyone to know either.." He said as he shrugged his shoulders.
"Why?"
"Because..they'll find out what happened to her...when she was 15" It was as I have feared..he knows about that! I quickly got up from my seat! I was shocked, I NEVER wanted anyone to find out!
"Don't worry...I've already been through the rumours and gossip...I'll make sure it won't happen again,I promise.." It was like we were settling a truce, for my secret to not get exposed. I accepted his trust with a nod.
"If you're tired, then you can go get something to eat...calm yourself down. " I take his advice and leave.
**TOSHIRO SHINTARU **
It's been 20 minutes and he still hasn't come back yet! Just What is he doing?..Iafve been sitting here, planing of what to teach him next. I sigh..Then it hear a knock on the door..I suspect that it's not Mitsuru, he's never so polite to do something like that.
"Come in" It was Miss Hinami, who arrived at the door, the English teacher. Out of all of us, she's the youngest and prettiest of them all. Her body is fragile and slender, her jet black, long hair was the most attractive to any guy. But her eyes were soft.
"Sorry to intrude." Her voice was gentle and calm.
"It's alright, come on in."
"Mr Shintaru senpai..What are you doing here?.." She says as she looks out for anyone in the classroom, expecting that I'm in here teaching an empty class.
"I told you not told call me that..." My face turned red as I looked at her in embarrassment. "Oh, yes! Sorry!" She really seems to me like a cluts, she seems out of it.
"I was just teaching a troubled student..." She looked at me relieved,"Wow! I thought that you were teaching a dead classroom!-Though, I'm not saying that your class is dead!- " Figured...
"Why are you here?" I interrupted her mumbling.
"Oh! Mr Sawashiro told me to call you to his office!" I looked astound, what does he want now? Me a trend the principal haven't got along ever since that tragedy... Most of the time, I feel very tensed when I see him.
In that moment, Mitsuru arrived. "Who's this, teach? Your girlfriend?" He smirked, as Hinami's face faded to a bright pink color. "N-No!" She blushed.
"Shut up! Sit down! I'll be back!. ..Hinami do you mind if you could just teach him for a bit?"
"Of course! Shintaru senpai! " I sigh as I left the classroom.
"But what do I teach him?..."
I knocked gently, on the door, before coming in, I had permission to enter and bowed in respect at the head master. "Oh, Toshiro! How are you?" He speaks in a very loud, friendly manner. Mr Sawashiro, the principal of this school, is an old middle aged man in his late forties. His style of clothing is very professional, his silver grey hair is always slicked back and he's wearing his black suit.
"I'm fine...what did you call me for?" For me and him, there is no 'hello','how are you?' I like to get straight to the point with him. "How rude..Arn't you going ask me how I'm doing?.. " I looked at him blankly, I don't have time for your stupid games. "Sorry, sir. But I am busy."
"That's what I want to know....What are you doing on a Sunday?" He asks as he looks out of the huge window. Praising the view.
"To be frank, I was teaching a student."
"And who is this student?.." He's very curious of what I'm doing these days, but I answer since I don't have much of a choice.
"Oh! Him!...You don't need to worry too much about him!"
"But sir! He's falling behind, and it's my job toto make sure he doesn't fail!..You told me that yourself." I spoke in a highly serious voice, I don't like holding back, especially from him.
"....You've changed....Toshiro..." His voice was gentle but his eyes were blank.
"What?" What does he mean? I'm just following protocol. What does he mean by..'change'?
"This isn't like you...You don't care about your students...You just teach! That's why you're here! Just for the money!...Isn't that right?" His lips split into a sinister smirk. I felt so mad, that I could just explode right here!
I know! What kind of person I was before,but that's because of..."It's thanks to me! RIGHT?! " My face was in utter shock. He looked at me with his dangerous, peering eyes, almost so, that he could see right through me! He walked closer towards me.
"Oh...that's not right..Judging by your face...it was because of Yuki...Isn't that right?!" He was standing near my ear, I didn't even notice. I froze within the silence.
"Please!...Don't ever say that name again!" I yelled out in a tone of anger, however I was pleading for him to stop the nightmares! "I'm sorry..I'm know it was hard on you...BUT NOW LOOK!" He opened his arms infront of me, looking so excited. What's so funny?.. "You've become a better version of yourself!...You care more of your students than before..Now don't leave Mitsuru waiting for so long..!"
"Yes, sir.." I turn around, heading for the door..I looked over my shoulder...I wanted to ask him something about, Mitsuru. ..
"What is it, Toshiro?" He asked as if he knew what was lingering in my mind. "Well, I was wondering...Do you know who administrated Mitsuru to the school?.." Mr Sawashiro looked at me, stern. Then placed his gaze downward, thinking of what to say...Then he lifted his head up and replied with that creepy smirk on his face. "His father did" He looked at me in such confidence. Something doesn't feel right about his answer....
"What's wrong, Toshiro?..." He sensed it. I hesitated to speak.
"Did you detect something in what I said.?" It felt like he knows what I'm thinking..."N-No sir...I have to go now..."
He looked so accurate and his eyes were so firce within his deep anger.
