- «THE PLACE IS BURNING EVERYONE OUT NOOOW!!!!», someone was shouting in the corridor. At first I didn't understand what he was saying but when I saw Akira-san taking his jacket and coming to me.
- «Get up !! There is a fire ! What do you want to die here ?!» , didn't even had time to grab my pants, I was in underwear right now but Akira-san just seize my arm and I could just run behind him.
- «A fire ?» , I asked.
- «Yes ! A fire, a student left his lighter close to the curtain of his room.» , You mean he left it on purpose, everyone here is crazy enough to do it.
There was no sunrise that day...The flames and smoke covered the blue sky and we waited outside watching the school burning.
- «It burn, finally !» , I said out loud.
- «You the crazy one...You really think that ? Murata-sama is dead !» , Mita-san ran to me, grabbing my neck wanting to strangle me.
- «Mita ! Please calm down, now !» , I was gasping for air when the director grabbed Mita-san's arms, «Don't you think there was enough corpse today ?»
Nothing was right...The day four was it ? No...Five ? I don't remember how much time passed since Ito-san's death or Kosugi-san'death...Now...Dad, save me. I saw nothing, just darkness everywhere...
- «Ryu...My poor baby, did you fell ?» , my mother steps...I can hear them I remember them. She was walking with grace...I still can feel her hands on my head, still feel the warm of her smile.
- «I am alright mom.» , I used to be kind and respectful to her, why did I changed...?
- «Ryu-san !!» , There was some white in my eyes, it was a light...The sunlight ?
- «Wh...Where am I ?» , I asked with a weak voice.
- «You feel good ?» , next to me, there was Akira...
- «I don't know, I feel a little numb and my head hurt.» , I said.
Akira-san smiled, he felt relieved I think
- «You are alive, thanks the gods.» , he sighed.
Before I could answer, we heard a conversation behind us, it was Mita-san's voice talking to someone.
- ��He is still alive !» , said Mita.
- «Forgive me Mita-sama ! Don't hurt me !» , the poor guy fell on his knees.
- «I gave you a chance to end him, but you failed. What a loser.» , she looked at us and realised we heard everything, but all she did was smiling at me, «I'm glad you are alive, Kono-san...But be carefull, maybe next time you won't be that lucky.»
She was threatening me...something not that kind was in her eyes, she wanted me dead and now I needed to watch my back.
Akira-san took care of me for the next hours, he then gave the task to someone else, he said he trusted her and that I didn't needed to feel fear toward her.
What a cute girl, she seated and watched me with those cutie smile you want to protect.
- «Hi...» , she was a little shy.
- «Hi.» , I replied to her, she blushed quickly, «Did I say something wrong ?»
- «No ! Sorry...You are Kono Ryu,right ? Everyone know you in here, you are the one who killed Ito and tried to do the same with Murata...But fate was faster or maybe karma.» , I listened to her and said nothing. She was no more a shy girl, her expression was cold, «Thank you, Kono-san, you gave us more strength to fight them all.».
- «Do you know something about the fire ?» , I asked.
She leaned to my ear and said «I'm the one who started it...I am the karma Kono-san.» her smile appeared again on her face.
She then said she'll protect me 'cause I gave her a reason to live. Now whe was ready to fight and survive, and I was deeply touched by her words.
Everytime she smiled I felt something in my heart...It was not fear like with Mita-san, no it was better than that...I remember this feeling, I used to feel it around my mother, the feeling that someone loves you very much.
Her name was Ayana, I never knew her last name...I regret to never asked for it.
- «I know I killed a lot of student with my fire, but Murata is dead now...I just wanted him and his follower to die !» , she said to me.
- «I wanted him dead too, I won't blame you Ayana-chan.» , first time I called a girl «chan».
She blushed : «Let's get out of here alive, Kono-kun.»
A smile on my face...Couldn't help...She was too cute for me.
- «Yes...We will get out alive, it's a promise.» , I said.
I had Akira-san and Ayana-chan to protect now, and I will protect them ! With my life !
- «How cute..» , Mita-san came to us, «It remind me of Murata-sama and me.»
- «So-» , I wanted to say something but Ayana-chan stopped me.
- «You are not welcome here Mita-san.» , Ayana glared at her.
- «He is still part of my group, if I want him back you have nothing to say Ayana.» , said Mita-san.
- «Too bad for you, he joined my group. Stealing a member of another group is against the rule...No ?» , replied Ayana.
- «It won't end here...I'll come back for both of you, just wait.» , Mita-san's smile let place to a smirk.
I'll be waiting...Mita-san and I'll kill you if you touch one air of her head ! Don't even dare to hurt Ayana.
