Recap

 I hesitated to tell him. As I was about to say...

Akaza's POV

I was thankfully saved by my brother coming into my room to tell Kokushibo that his mom was here to pick him up.

Kokushibo got up and left my room, walking out after him. I waved the two siblings goodbye, and they soon left. Hakuji asked if I wanted to go to school tomorrow. I said yes. He looked skeptical about the idea of me going to school, but he seemingly agreed. I retired for the night after talking with my brother, Hakuji.

The Next Morning

Narrator's POV

After Akaza wakes up for a new school day in pain, of course being the stubborn person he is refuses to tell his brother. They do their usual routine. Akaza was at his locker until someone shoved him headfirst into the locker. Akaza looked to see who it was. It turned out to be one of the popular kids and this one was specifically named Muzan. He was known to be a pain in the ass by everyone.

Akaza's POV

Keeping my cool, I turned to face Muzan and asked Muzan what he wanted. Muzan stated that he was enraged about me beating up one of his goons, I suppose. I wasn't paying attention to his little rant. I assumed he noticed this and was more furious than ever. He proceeded, trying to land another blow on me until Kokushibio grasped his arm. I took this as an opportunity for me to leave and bolted to my class, not wanting to be late.

I made it to class on time. My buddy Rengoku asked if I was ok. I answered him yes I was, but I asked him why he was concerned. He told me Shinobu informed him of what happened yesterday. I realized he was just concerned and wanted to check in on me. Rengoku seemed to stick with me the whole day. He did not leave my side until I made it into class. It's a good thing we shared most of our classes, except for a lunch period. He was as you could say my guard for the rest of the week. As the week went on. I realized I have Kokushibo in some of my classes.

I hadn't noticed this before because he was just another classmate I didn't know at the time. He was as well quiet and conserved, so I never really approached him. He also appeared to give off a glimpse of anger toward anyone who got near him. Now, back to the present. The exception to this was me. I went up to him a few times before class started this week. He seemed to not mind it but enjoyed my company even with Rengoku hovering over my shoulder all of that week.

 Rengoku was always close due to him being concerned about me and the thought of possibly Muzan's goons coming after me while I was still injured. You could say, he was like my father for the entire week the way he was guarding me. Of course, even going into the next week, he is still very protective of me. I wondered how Kokushibo feels about this...
