Akuma Yuki: Book 1

[Ch9] To ask,To know,To tell

(Unedited)

I was walking towards the dorm..I held onto Ruka's scarf as I inhaled his scent..the scarf was still warm and it made me feel relieved...

I made it to the hall and somehow passed by Natsume's room which was slightly opened.I peeked and saw Natsume being carried by someone..someone familiar..

A flash of that scene where I saw someone odd came into my mind and my eyes widen.He...no she..wait..he? Let's go with he,he placed Natsume on his bed and then left,I slowly opened it and entered the room

I went to look at Natsume who was covered in bruises and cuts..I sighed and searched his room for a first aid kit but when I reached the drawers I saw a flipped picture frame,I took a peek and saw a pictureof a boy and a girl..almost look a like...

For sure this is his sister..I took the picture from it's frame and turned the picture over..there were writtings,a very good one too..

May 12 ****
Hyūga Natsume
And Hyūga Aoi (Yuki)

Its my birthday today everything turned out the way it has been..we are happy and I get to see my big brother..

-Aoi

So he really does have a sister..I placed the picture back to it's proper place and continued to search for the first aid kit..

As soon as I found it I cleaned the wounds and wrapped the bandage.I placed ointments here and there and tried to use my healing alice on him..and it worked!

His bruises were gone.I fixed his sleeping position and pulled the blanket towards his chest,I grabbed a bowl with hot water and dipped my unused handkerchief before wringging it

I then placed it on his forhead hoping that would help on regaining his proper body temperature.I stayed for a while and changed the hot water,I didn't realized that it was already 3:57 am I then remembered that due to the need to be finished preparations all classes were canceled so it was fine to stay up

After placing the handkerchief on his forhead I begun the check if his temperature is back..and it was,I sighed and layed my head on the side of the bed..feeling my eyes closing I drifted into a dreamless sleep..

--------

Next morning...I mean afternoon I was already on the bed..and I couldn't find Natsume..he must be outside with the others..

I stood up and arranged everything and went to my room to take a bath and change my clothes..

But before really going out I grabbed the scarf,folded it and put it in a paper bag

-------

As I step out into the open a small breaze past by making me shiver..It was really really really cold..

"Yuki!!!!!" Mikan jumped at me making me fall into the cold hard icy ground.I shiver even more.. "Yuki!! You didn't come for breakfast again!"

"I..overslept?"

"Sigh Yuki,you need to eat!! Come on you're late! we're going to the central park and buy stuff hurry!" She bagun running fast and she hold on to me who was shivering from the cold breaze

The bus was like a normal one,I sat beside Mikan near the window and do what any passenger would do...sleep while your head is banging the window like crazy...I'm sorry window,it's not you it's me..

I woke up seeing that I'm outside and that we were having an...unexpected picnic?

"Ah,Yuki you're awake.Natsume carried you here since we didn't want to disturb you" Inchou said and I didn't know that Natsume has a heart of gold..

"What are we doing?"

"We are eating howalon,a sweet cotton candy-like candy,you should try some.Here" he smiled and placed one near my mouth I hesitately opened my mouth but then gave up telling Inchou to just put it in my mouth (to those not so innocent people out there I'm just here to tell you that you're not alone,this also came out akwardly dirty 😏😅)

If you don't want to torture yourselves you can skip this part
In a split second I thought I saw heaven..as I chew the candy and as it disolve in my mouth I begun hallucinating about unicorns and my favorite manga/anime characters.there's that one character where he was an alien teacher to a bunch of lower class assassins the ending made me cry but my past days is more unbearable..then there's that demon butler and his master,then that red headed guy and that blue haired trap from that alien teacher anime,then that blue haired basketball player,then those guys that were named after countries from the axis and allies,then there's the white haired trio one from that feudal era,one from that abnormal hotel with mismatched eye color,and that fox spirit who guards a shrine...BUT AFTER READING THE FIRST VOLUME RUMORS SPREAD THAT HE'S GOING TO GET MARRIED AT THE END OF THE MANGA!!!! It's making me upset!!!! But luckily there's that one character who relieve my great stress..that guy from that swimming club who always flips his hair so awsomely...

Then I was back to reality...I looked down at the blanket that we sat on and said to myself that I'm never going near another howalon ever again...my only left dreams now are wrecked,I now have no purpose....

-------------

After that horrible incident,we went on to buy stuff and somehow saw Natsume with that kid who can control spirits...I think...Natsume was looking at a display of a women's boutique..I looked at him and thought...

"Mikan..I think I know what I want to buy..." She smiled at me and said that she and the others will wait until I got back..

When they were out of sight I begun sneekily entering the boutique.I was now infront of the door when it surprisingly opened to see Ruka,he was nervous.

"Yuki..! What are you doing here? I didn't know you like this kind of things" He was softly shuttering

"I could say and ask the samething myself..." I tried to raise a brow but it kinda felt like I'm greeting a surprised camel

"Ah well..I'm just here...to..uh..just..I mean just...fetching these..things for...a friend! Yeah a friend.."

"And who is this friend?" I asked not really curious

"M..m..Mik..an?..yes Mikan! She asked me to get this while we wait for you" seems believable..fr a normal person but I'm abnormal so it's kinda the opposite "so yeah I better hurry and go.." And in a flash he was gone..I proceed to my plan and bought the jewellery...oh I forgot to give back his scarf..

-----------

It was still cold outside and it was irritating..my body was numb and I feel hot and freezing cold at the same time..this isn't good..I feel like fainting but I stood my ground.I walk towards where the bus was parked and entered it..

My footsteps were wobbly and my vision was blurry,my breathing was heavy and I feel light headed...I could hear Mikan's loud voice but the ringing in my head was louder..

"Yuki,are you alright?" Are the only words I could makeout..and I have to tell the one lie everybody uses..

I want someone to care.I want someone to ask.I want someone to know.I am stronger than anyone but that's only a secret..I want someone to ask if I'm okay...but it's not like I'm going to tell the truth anyway...

"I'm fine,don't worry.."
