Danger

CHAPTER 1 – Danger .

    The morning breeze blew against his face . It’s about 7 in the morning . He stepped out of the car and turned to his driver .

    “Don’t fetch me after this . Today , tomorrow or any days that will come .” he told his driver .

    “But even if you say so , young master . Your father asked us to –“ his driver started to protest but he held up his hand , signalling his driver to shut up .

    “This is my freedom . I want to at least have a freedom . And that freedom can only be accomplished when I’m in school .” he said . His driver nodded then he walked into the school . Just by walking , he drew quite a lot of attention . Everyone looked at him . He ignored it and went straight to his class .

    He was the first to arrive . Quietly , he made his way to his seat and facing the window , he played shougi by himself . Then someone entered the classroom . Just by hearing the faint footsteps , he knew who it was .

    Midorima Shintarou . A green-haired guy who depends his luck on his horoscope ranking and lucky items . Today , his lucky item is a 500ml water bottle . Sometimes , he did wonder why those lucky items are weird but he just keep it to himself . An expert three-pointer shooter in the school basketball team .

    Akashi Seijuurou . A red-haired guy with different eye colour . His right eye is red in colour while his left eye is yellow/golden in colour . Captain in the school basketball team .

    “Akashi . Kamiya Sensei wanted to meet you in his office .” Midorima spoke .

    Akashi nodded then walked out of the classroom . As the teacher’s room is on the opposite block , Akashi took a shortcut , behind the school building . It was empty , quiet and abandoned . However , he doesn’t feel scared or creepy or anything of that sort at all .

    Suddenly , two black figures appeared out of the blue (well , to be exact , from the bushes) . Akashi looked calm .

    One is thin and one is quite big and taller than the thin one . “Be prepared young boy .” the big one said and attacked Akashi first . Quite automatically , Akashi dodged the attack , rolled forward and kicked the thinner one on his stomach . The thin one staggered backwards while the big one tried to stab Akashi with a short knife called tanto , from behind .

    Seeing every movement , Akashi ducked down his head and punched his face . His punch was so strong that the big one lost his grip on the knife and the knife slashed at Akashi’s cheek lightly . Not so deep , its just like the knife’s passing by . He winced and grabbed the knife , turned around then stabbed the thinner’s leg with it . The thin one cried in pain as Akashi left them .
