Two years before.
"Hey, Sakura, I heard that you have a boyfriend. How did that happen? You getting a boyfriend is a miracle."
"Oh no. Even you heard about it. You are the last person from whom I want this to be revealed. Now I am going to be teased by you forever."
"Come on. Aren't we best friends. Hey, Hey, what's his name? "
"Harako, I was hanging out with him from past a year and he confessed to me a few days before."
"I didn't ask you that."
"But you will ask me anyway so I answered it soon."
"You are right about that.hehe"
One day I asked her to take me to him so that I can see how he looked like. He was handsome and was calm all the time. And day after day, we met each other and I started to hangout with them. I would feel the guilt of interrupting them but Harako and Sakura always pulled me with them. After few days, I started to avoid them so that I don't become a hindrance between their love. They called me, but all I said was I need to help my mom. But after few days Harako came to me and asked me the reason why I wasn't hanging out with them. I said him everything and he left but I felt a little uneasy this time when I was speaking with him.
Next day he came to me and held my shoulder.
"Aren't you a pretty catch?. I would like to do some rare experiments. Don't worry about friendship afterall she is a piece of crap compared to you. I would break up with her if you wish for it."
I felt a little uneasy and then I knew he had some bad intention, so I ran away from him. But he caught upto me and pushed me onto the ground. I started to scream for help but then he showed me picture of Sakura.
"It was all an act afterall, Hayaka. Why don't you help me out? Didn't I say I can leave Sakura just for you. Come sleep with me for a night. "
I slapped him and he showed me the photo again and was about to click the upload button. So,
His intentions were clear from the words but I was unable to utter a word. He asked me to co-operate with him. All I thought that time was to save my friend and at the same time help myself but was scared. I started to resist and was successfully able to throw the mobile away and tried to put him away from the phone and started to scream continuously but he started to use force and punched me many times and when it started to pain I started to give up. The truth was that no one came to help after so many screams I gave out for help.I knew what would happen if I don't do anything but closed my eyes anyways and left everything in the hands of fate.
Now
Crying-"I was so scared and I was unable to do anything I was trying to sacrifice myself for my friend but---"
Happy tears in her eyes-"But you know what? It did not work out well. Not for me but for him. It was then I found out Shouga. When I opened my eyes I saw Shouga. Shouga was holding a iron bar and hitting him as hard as he can but he was aware of himself and hit only non-vital areas like hands and legs. He even smashed Harako's smartphone. I am glad I was able to meet Shouga that time. He saved my life. But next day, Shouga was given suspension from school for fighting and my Sakura broke friendship with me. I asked her for what and she answeres it in front of everyone that I tried to take Harako from her by doing dirty things. I told her what happened but she didn't believe me. I knew it was Harako who said this to her. The next day it was a big news for everyone and I was shunned by everyone. It continued. After a week, Shouga came back. Sakura dipped in toilet and he made me drink chalk water also. But when a boy started to talk to me in a wierd way, Shouga came to help me. But I scolded him saying that you will get suspended or expelled from school if you get into fights anymore. But what he said made me happy.
"I would gladly accept that expulsion."
Everyday they bullied me, bullied me, bullied me. But Shouga always protects me which made me come to school just for me to meet him.
But one day, some boys came to me and made me drink a juice. I had to do a program that day but, I vomitted during the program due to the juice. Shouga knowing this started a fight with those boys and got to know that it was arranged by Harako. Shouga's face was pissed and Harako showed himself. Shouga fought with him but the faculty member came and caught Shouga. As a result, Shouga had to write a apology letter to Harako but he just scolded him in the apology letter and got expelled out of the school. But before leaving the school he said to Sakura to break up with him but she teased him and made him a comedy piece in front of everyone and everyone started to laugh at him. He was really angry and had his look set on not helping them anymore. Even I swore not to help them anymore. I was really pissed by their words. But then I never saw Shouga again. I have heard that he stopped studying but his Uncle made him graduate and join a college. So even I studied hard so that I will be eligible to gat into any college. And I even got good marks and searched for you in every college but never found you and I just happened to join the college you belonged to.
Crying happily-"But I don't fear that past anymore afterall that was the reason I was able to meet Shouga."
Her shivering and the fear in her face were gone away long back.
"So, you were able to overcome your past."
"Yup, and it's all thanks to Shouga. The word of not fearing anything and do as you wish is what defines you, Shouga. If you weren't there for me, I would have been departed from this world long back."
"Now that's good. But what about you Shouga will you overcome your past? "
"I am already out of my past."
"Oh really. Then do you remember the name I was about to say before - Harumi Hirato"
Surprised-"Harumi Hirato.....my big sis...how do you know her? "
"Angrily-"Were you involved in that matter tooo."
"No.no. just recollect what happened and you will understand who you really are and what you were in your past"
"My past...???? "
"Yeah. So here is my question, tell me your past with Harumi Hirato, Shouga."
Shouga's eyes are red and the was filled with rage. Hayaka who was not able to read aura could feel the murderous intent Shouga was emitting.
Reading the aura and reacting to it(scared)--"What's going on Shouga? Why does it feel like you are about to kill some.....one???? "
