One time, my friend who studies over at Kokuyo high invited me to go over their school for a tour; while we were walking, a guy walking in the corridors has caught my attention. I studied his mystifying looking face and his strangely attractive heterochromatic eyes that suddenly seem that I was hypnotized by him. And in that moment, I suddenly fell in love with him the first sight. I asked my friend “Hey, who’s the guy?” I pointed to him walking in the corridor. “Huh? Him? Oh, that’s Mukuro Rokudo. Well, never mind him…”
“Huh? Why? Is the guy really that unapproachable?”
“Yep, especially whenever his two men are around. They really make us shiver with their creepiness. They just simply give me the hives...”
And so from hearing my friend’s statement about him, I suddenly felt my admiration for him draining out. But then again, why should I give up just yet? I still have to see it for myself whether if the rumors about Mukuro are true.
When my tour around Kokuyo was over, I left for home on my own because my friend can’t come with me on the way home together since there was an urgent matter she had to attend to.
As I was walking home back to Namimori, I was suddenly blocked out by some freak weirdo guys from another school. A gangster group, no doubt they are just by looking at their rowdy, tough-looking faces. And judging from the nasty and creepy, perverted look on their faces I could already tell that they also wanted something from me. I smell trouble brewing... and things are getting ugly.
I froze in where I stand. I attempted to neither run nor shout for help but I didn’t because of a warning to do something much more badly than what they are supposed to do with me. And slowly, the group of nasty looking men started closing in on me. I glanced to the left, to the right and at the front and the back to see if there’s someone approaching to help me, but there was no one in sight. I lost all my hopes and I just shut my eyes tight and I prayed that someone, anyone around would be able to help me in time.
“Ku fu fu fu…”
I heard a laugh. One by one, I could tell that the thugs are being taken care of as I can hear moans and groans coming from them. Defeated, they retreated and disappeared. I wonder who saved me.
“You can open your eyes now.” A smooth voice spoke.
As I opened my eyes, it was Mukuro Rokudo of Kokuyo who was in front of me. I can’t believe it, he’s the one who saved me! Lucky, I thought.
“Th-thanks for saving me Mukuro-san…” I stuttered while saying my thanks.
“Ku fu fu fu… no need to. Those thugs are common around here so it’s not advisable for a lady like you to stay around here for too long. You better get a move on. They might come back.”
“I see. Thanks for the advice. Well then, I shall get going.”
That night when I got home, I kept thinking about that event I wasn’t able to go to sleep. I pictured his cool and calm face staring straight into me that makes me feel so bubbly. I kept screaming at the thought of that that I have woken up my mom and she went to my room and told me to get some sleep already.
In the morning of the following week, we were supposed to carry our painting materials to school for art class. And later on class, our teacher told us to do today a painting of something that inspires me to be more motivated in life. This is it! The timing couldn’t ever be so perfect; it’s a very reasonable excuse for me to go to Kokuyo see my crush (Mukuro) again.
I phoned my friend and I asked if I could go over there to do my painting because it’s the place I’ve chosen to do my work. But she said no because they could never get such a permission themselves for students from other schools to do such work as that unless if it’s something more of a collaboration. I sighed. I guess there’s no getting through to him. And then I got an idea. I asked her to meet me outside their school right now.
