A dark past to a bright future

Chapter 27

Souji: So the Sakura family has no records of their past generations because they want to be secretive.

Souji's dad: That's right. So far the only Sakura member who has a record is Iris.

Souji: Then let's take her under our protection since there are gangs who will go after any Sakura members who are in or out of the gang.

Souji's dad: I can make it possible. I'll tell them you and Ruby will mainly be with her and my team will be watching you from our base.

Souji: Also can you buy that room that's near my and Ruby's room?

Souji's dad: Sure thing.

(in Iris's mind past dark area)

Iris's dad (holding money): Thank you so much for your help. I'll put good use to this. (while walking away) Who's ready to drink?

Iris's mum (while people cheer in the background): Stop giving him money that you earn. You know he'll just waste it on drinks with his members.

Iris: But it stops him from asking you for your money. I'm trying to make things easy for you.

Iris's mum (touches Iris's head): That's sweet of you but leave him to me.

(night passage way street)

Man one (standing in front of Iris): Look it's the daughter of the Blood Blossom gang leader.

Iris (leaning on the wall): I don't even know you.

Man two: Let's pick on her to show her father who's actually (unleash a punch) the boss of this town.

Iris (after her punch hits that man in the face first): I don't know what your problem is but I'm not in any gang. (pupils sharp) However, if you want a fight. Bring it on.

(present college nurses office inside curtain)

Iris (in her mind having her eyes normal after opening them while in bed): That memory happened at the beginning of high school.

Ruby (surprised after opening the curtain while holding a water bottle): How are you feeling?

Iris (after sitting up): I feel normal. (look at Ruby) What happened?

Ruby (pass the water bottle): After the boss fights you did in class you suddenly pass out.

Iris (taking the water bottle after remembering): That's right.

Ruby (touches Iris's forehead): Your fever is almost completely gone.

Iris: I recover fast while I'm asleep when I'm ill.

Souji (far away): Ruby I'm back.

Ruby (before walking away): I'll let you two chat alone.

(outside curtain)

Souji (walking towards Ruby when she left the curtain): Sorry for taking forever. My dad called.

Ruby (Souji stops near her): Iris just woke up and her fever is almost gone. Sadly I have to leave but I'll catch up with you two later.

Souji: I'll text you.

Ruby (while leaving): Thank you.

(inside curtain)

Souji (after entering): You look way much better than before. You finally have some colour on your skin.

Iris: Sorry about today.

Souji: You did scare me but do you remember what you said?

Iris: I do but did anyone else hear me?

Souji (sitting next to Iris after putting their things down): Luckily they didn't.

Iris: Souji. Is it possible to sell my mum's house and put my dad in jail?

Souji: My father began making plans to find a way to capture him. However are you sure you want to sell your mum's house?

Iris: I am.

Souji: Is it okay to text my father right now?

Iris: Go ahead. (in her mind while Souji started texting on his phone) You'll have nowhere to live now. You thought you would be the next owner but mum put in under my name.

Souji (after turning his phone off): Done.

Iris: Thank you.

Souji (after standing): Let's get you home. It's getting late.

Iris (while getting out of bed after noticing): The sun is about to set already?

Souji: You were asleep for a while. Also, our teacher knew we were using our alt account.

Iris (surprise while putting her coat on): No way. Since when?

Souji (picking up his sword bag): Ever since you move to this college.

Iris (pull her hair out of her coat): That means...

Souji (interrupting): That's right. Ever since the beginning of college, he knew about me not using my main. I wanted to punch him after he called me by my account name.

Iris (putting her gloves on): Isn't that pointless?

Souji: Well that wasn't the real reason. I wanted to punch the teacher because he made one of his friends test our skills on our alt to see if we'd act like our main.

Iris (drops her left glove being surprise): Are you serious?
