"Yasashii, we're getting a divorce."
That's how it started. I already knew all along that something like this was going to happen. Everyday, my parents would argue over the most pointless things, and I couldn't do anything about it. I could only mind my own business and hope that it would all be over soon, but no matter how hard I hoped for it, I knew that it just wasn't going to happen. Since I was young, I'd learned to keep my mouth shut, stay out of the way, and disguise my feelings as to not be anymore of a burden to them.

When my father decided to move out to the city with me, I looked back at my mother. Her expression was lonely, yet she looked relieved. I didn't know what to say, the only thing that came to my mind was, "You've endured long enough. See you later, mom."

I turned to leave the countryside with my father and we headed to the popular city of Tokyo. After a few days, we settled down, and things finally seemed calm once again. However, one day, my father suddenly told me, "Please leave. You're a burden."

I was completely and utterly stunned, but I obediently left the house and enrolled into a prestigious private school known as Uchiorabu Gakuen. Later, I learned that my father was having an affair and was now engaged to another woman, which was the reason I was kicked out.

----------

I'm currently staying in the dorms of Uchiorabu. It's surprisingly pleasant here, and all of the senpai take care of me. Today, I'm finally starting classes as a first year transfer student.

As I walk around the excessively large campus, I realize that I'm the only one out here. Did classes start already? Or am I lost? I start to panic, but the faint sound of steady breathing reaches my ears. I turn around and notice someone resting under the shade of a tree on the lawn. Cautiously, I walk over to the sleeping figure, and crouch down next to him. Should I wake him and ask for directions or would that be rude?

I close my eyes and sigh, slowly getting up to walk away, but something suddenly tugs on my wrist, causing me to lose my balance and fall hard on the ground.

"Ow ow ow..." I say, and turn around to see the guy looking at me, half asleep. His large hand is holding my wrist down, preventing me from escaping. This would probably be a good chance to ask for directions though.

"Um... Sorry to wake you, but do you know-" I was suddenly cut off by a pair of forceful lips smashing against mine. I widen my eyes, shocked, and try to pull away, but the other man is so much stronger than me. Instead, he pulls me closer into a tight embrace and deepens the kiss. His rough tongue slips in and begins to explore the inside of my mouth. It travels along the sides of my mouth and entwines with my tongue.

"Ngh....mnn..." I moan in ecstasy. Why does this feel so good? I can't get enough. I want him to devour me completely. In the heat, I notice his long eyelashes surrounding his icy blue eyes and his strong build. He has black hair and two piercings in his right ear. Finally, he pulls away and smirks, stroking my thin, light brown hair with the back of his hand. My face is completely flushed and saliva is dripping out from my mouth. He licks it off my face and licks his lips, making me blush an even deeper red.

I look down at the grass and suddenly snap back to reality. Oh, no..I'm going to be late for class on my first day here! I grab my bag and stand up, not daring to look at his face. Turning to walk away, he asks me in a seductive voice, "What's your name, kid?"

"....Aikawa. Aikawa...Yasashii," I say, still not making eye contact with him. "Sorry, but I have to go. I'm going to be late for class."

"Okay, Yasashii, I'll see you later then."

I nod and walk away, still blushing hard. What WAS that? It's the first time I've ever kissed anyone, but it felt really good. I should've asked his name too. This school's so big I doubt I'll ever see him again.

After about 20 minutes of walking around and thinking, I finally make it to the classroom. I slide open the door, and everyone turns to stare at me. Their expressions seem frightened and everyone is silent. Is there something wrong with me? Then, I feel an enormous shadow looming over me and turn to see the person from earlier standing right behind me, and my eyes widen.

"So we meet again, Yasashii," he says, the corners of his mouth curling up into an evil grin. His piercing gaze sends shivers down my spine, and I feel my knees go weak. Now that he's standing, I realize how much of a height difference we have. My heart begins thumping uncontrollably and I blush all the way up to my ears.

"Aww.. You're blushing. How cute," he whispers into my ear. "It makes me want to devour you right here and now."

I close my eyes and bite my lower lip, bending my head down. What am I doing? I can't get all excited now. There are people watching, but more than that, those people are going to be my classmates for the rest of the year. I can't make a bad first impression. I take a deep breath and face the class.

"Hello. I'm Aikawa Yasashii. I just transferred into this school from the countryside. Nice to meet you," I say and bow as a sign of respect. The class just stares back, stunned, and I walk into the room, unsure of what to do. Somebody on the other side of the classroom waves me over.

"Aikawa-kun! Over here!" I walk over, glad that there's at least one welcoming person here.

"Hi! I'm Fukuyo Hajime! You can call me Hajime. Can I call you Yasashii?" He asks enthusiastically. He has long, blonde hair that's tied up halfway and a handsome face.

"Sure!" I say. "Please take care of-" before I could finish my sentence, the guy I came in with slams his hand on the desk in between us and leans in to Hajime's ear.

"Listen up, ne. If you even think of touching this kid...." the black haired male slams his fist into the desk, creating a large dent and causing the desk to cave in. "...THAT'S what's going to happen to you." I see Hajime's face go pale.

"H-Hajime? Are you alright? Uh... do you need to go to the bathroom or something?" I ask, anxious. I wonder what that guy said to make Hajime react like this.

"Ugh.... I'm..fine. Thanks a lot though, Yasashii," he covers his mouth and stomach as if he were about to throw up.

"Um...I think I should probably take you to the infirmary. Just hold on, okay?" I say, concerned. I take his arm and haul him to the infirmary.

A few minutes later, he wakes up and groans. He puts the back of his hand to his forehead and covers his eyes.

"I guess I should've listened to them, huh?" he mumbles to himself.

"Listened to who?" I ask.

"Huh?! What? You're here, Yasashii? You should've said something earlier!"

"Sorry. Anyway, what were you talking to yourself about?"

"Oh. Well... It's kind of hard to explain. Do you remember the guy you came to class with?"

"Of course I do! He was the one who scared the wits out of you just a moment ago," I said. "What about him?"

"You see, most of the kids in our class went to the same middle school as him. His name is Koigataki Mamoru. I heard rumors from them that he'll never attend classes unless he's found his "target". Once he sets his focus on that person, he's scary as heck. He won't let that person go no matter what. If you even try to interact with that person, you're done for. And, as unfortunate as it is, I think that his new "target this year is you. That's why I wanted to try talking with you and seeing if the rumors were really true or not," Hajime explained. "It seems it was quite effective."

"I see. So that's why everyone in class seemed so afraid and distant from me," I say, biting my lip. "Then, how can I make him change?"

Hajime shakes his head from side to side looking defeated. "I'm not sure. You may need to ask his past classmates. However, there is a chance that none of them are going to interact with you at all."

I sigh. This is certainly going to be a long year.
