Cherry Blossom Abyss

Chapter Thirteen

"you ready for your tutor session?"

I don't look behind me,staring at my knees.

"Yeah," I reply.

"I'm failing a few classes...." I mumble.

Why did I have to take tutor lessons??

"I see." Replies the voice.

I furrow my brows. That voice sounded familiar...

I look back to see ittoki getting his textbooks out of his bag.

"I-ittoki??"

He blinks.

"How do you know my name?"

I avoid eye contact.

"Um,you're popular. Everyone knows..." I say,hiding my shaky voice.

What if he finds out I'm Atlas???

His eyes narrow at me,studying.

"Hey,do I know you from somewhere?" He asks.

I shake my head,a little too quickly.

His eyes widen.

In an instant his books drop and he swings a kick at me.

I jump back, surprised.

His eyes were full of hatred.

"I know you. You're from the charisma family! That stupid pure clan."

I blink.

"You mean my dad? He's the one who's immoral though. I heard he was evil-"

He shakes his head, interrupting me.

"I don't give two shits about your dad. Your mother killed my mom."

I stare at him for a long time.

"I think you got the wrong person. My mom was pure. Not immoral."

He scoffs.

"You're Vivian charisma. I don't have the wrong person. Your dad wasn't evil,your mom was."

I was so confused. I take a breath,taking all this information in.

"I'm sorry.....what?" I ask.

He grits his teeth.

"Your dad was best friends with my dad. I don't know why but your mother killed mine. Maybe she's not the good person you think she is."

I look down.

What?? My mom....no there's no way.

I clench my fists,anger surging through me.

"You're wrong. My mother was a good woman."

Wind begins to pick up around us and he chuckles a humorless laugh.

"Then why did she kill my mother???"

"I'll tell you why...." A familiar voice calls out,as a thick fog surrounds me.

I can't see a single thing,not even ittoki.

My mom appears in front of me.

My anger fades immediately.

"...mom?"

She looks at me with sad eyes.

I furrow my brows in confusion. Why did she look guilty?

".....is it...true?" I rasp.

She closed her eyes,nodding softly.

My voice breaks and I felt uneasy. I feel my stomach turn,like it was twisting in a knot.

"Why...aren't you pure?"

She sighs.

"I....was jealous. I loved ittokis dad. And your dad found out. It's why he left us. He's not dead,vi. I told you he was dead because I was ashamed. I didn't want you talking about him. I...was so broken,Vivian. And full of envy for ittokis mom..."

She looks me in my eyes.

"So I killed her."

My eyes widen.

She looks down.

"I...ruined a family."

I look down at my feet.

"....go..."I say softly.

She looks away.

"Vivian,you don't understand what jealousy can do to someone-"

"GO." I snap,through gritted teeth.

She sighs, disappearing. The fog following after her.

Ittoki was blinking,confused.

I look up at him.

"My mom was in love with your dad. That's why she killed your mom."

His eyes widen.

He looks down.

Then snarls and lunges at me.

My eyes widen and I turn away,jumping back.

He was quick.

He swings but I duck,sweeping under his feet but he easily hops over it.

I quickly jump up and he swings with a right hook.

An opening.

I deflect his punch with my hand and give a high kick to his face.

It connects and he stumbles backwards,eyes wide.

I look at him confused.

He feels his cheek,staring at me in awe.

"What?" I ask.

"I....felt pain." He mumbles.

I furrow my brows. The fuck was he going on about??

"Yeah?? And?"

He shakes his head violently.

"No,you don't understand, I never feel pain! I don't feel anything!"

He paces,frantic.

"I'm sorry,huh?"

"Why do you think I'm at the top of the martial arts class?? I don't feel pain!"

He looks down at his feet.

"I wonder..." He starts.

He looks up at me and I bring my arms up,ready to defend.

He grabs them,yanking them down and bringing his hand up to my breast and squeezing.

My eyes widen. "What the fuck are you--"

He yanks away before I can finish my sentence and he swings at the fence,hard.

"Fuck! I feel horniness with you! What the fuck??"

"You....felt turned on?"

He glares at me.

"My dick got hard. What do you think?"

I furrow my brows.

"You've never been turned on before?"

He sighs.

"Yes and no. My dicks been hard before,but a female has never been the cause of it. I can feel pleasure,but not the desire to fuck usually."

I tilt my head at him.

"So what are you saying?"

He rolls his eyes at me.

"It made me want to fuck you. Something that's never happened."

"Oh..." I awkwardly scratch the back of my head as he goes to pick up his books.

"Look I don't understand why you're different,but stay the hell away from me. Find another tutor."

He walks off and I sigh.

I check the time. My job at the sauna started in an hour.

Well...at least he didn't find out I was Atlas.

That's a plus,I guess.
