[EDITING] The Legend of Class-3 (An "Another" fanfic)

Behind the Madness

I looked at her, startled. Never had I ever been so anxious to know anything. I genuinely cared about her. I wanted to help her. I was...I was in love with her. It is indeed an interesting feeling, yet a horrifying one. Rin noticed my anxiety, which was radiating from my eyes, or so she says. Once again, my eyes met hers and I softly asked her what I can do. She got up from the couch and stretched, then told me her story.

    "All of my family was murdered in Yomiyama. I watched them bleed to death. A strange man broke into our house and threatened my parents.  My parents told me to hide, so I did. While I was in hiding, I was forced to watch them get torn to shreds while I had to stay silent. After their murder, my friends took me out of town to keep me safe from whatever malicious figures lurked nearby. I was only seven at the time, and you could imagine how much that frightened me. I saw them take their last breath while their eyes slowly became dull. My parents and older brother were dead," Rin said.

    I tried to focus as the sorrowful words she spoke flooded into my mind. Slowly, every now and then, I felt a tear slowly glide down my face. Nothing could keep my tears from rolling down my cheeks. Unsure of how to respond, I sat there quietly, without murmuring a word.

    In a brief summary, Rin continued to speak with words that did nothing more than bear the horrid countenance of death and destruction. I do not wish to repeat the words she uttered, but I shall give you a similar comparison. Rin came back to Yomiyama to investigate what she could about her past, her family's killer, and herself.

    As she finished speaking, I looked into her beautiful eyes. Almost as if my body moved on its own, I suddenly hugged her. She looked quite startled, as if she hadn't been able to feel emotions for the longest time. I was like her many years ago, and even sometimes now. My emotions were buried so deep it was almost as if I couldn't even feel them anymore. What I saw before my eyes was someone who's been keeping her feelings in too long, much longer than she realizes. I slowly let go of her and smiled, my eyes still slightly watery from my tears. Between the girl who's determined eyes stare intently into mine and the calamity that corrupts the class, my sanity slowly dwindles by a thread.

    Without even thinking, I got so lost in the moment that I kissed her...only her cheek though. Her face became bright red and she looked just a bit mad, at least to me anyway. She grabbed my shirt, right below my collar with one of the firmest grips I've ever felt. It startled me at first but then I gave her a slight smirk, gazing down at her. I place my hands on her shoulders and bend down to reach her eye level.

         "What can I do to help?" I ask quietly.

    "For starters, you can get off of me," she said sternly, slightly blushing.

    I realized what I was doing and just done. I quickly, and awkwardly, stepped away from her then apologized for my actions. Rin gave a smile of forgiveness and I stood there, completely feeling like I had found something that was seemingly lost forever. I had found my feelings, my emotions, and my sanity. I had found the love of my life.
