A.N. I'll be using Japanese Honorifics for this and the fallowing chapters to come since this story takes place in Japan for the most part. If you don't see a character using them then It's either that person is being rude, has a friendly or intimate relationship with the other character, they're not Japanese or they aren't in Japan anymore. You'll be able to tell depending on the context.

Here is a list of the honorifics I'll be using.

San - Mr. Miss Ms. Mrs.

Sama - highest form of respect. Use when speaking to those of a higher rank.

Kun - used generally for boys younger than you or those you are friendly with. Also used by seniors addressing juniors.

Chan - used generally for girls or someone you found cute or someone you have a very close relationship to. Also used for babies and children.

Tan - cuter than chan. Basically baby talk.

Bo - cute just like chan but only for boys.

Senpai - senior. Literally or someone you look up to.

Sensei - used to address authority figure like teachers. Also used for someone who has a certain level of mastery in art form. E.g. martial arts.

Dono - master or lord. In-between sama and san.

Third Person P.O.V.

Kai walks down a lonely road. Forest trees on either side. Not knowing for how long or even where he was. He was heading somewhere before he came to his senses. "Ahgg...wha-what's going on? Where am I? Ahh...m-my head hurts and so does my fists-huh?" His fists and his clothes were covered in blood. Blood that wasn't his own. Even his glasses were cracked.

It all came back to him. The bullies picking on him, his friends coming to his rescue, only to be injured. In that moment he lost himself. Despair, fear, hate, rage and suffering that he's been harboring all the years of his life came bursting forth. The feeling of something breaking free from within him, as if the darkness that has always been there was liberated. Telling him to FIGHT.

The screaming after he punched his main adversary, pleads for mercy he ignored as he hurt everyone. The teacher's face that broke a desk it half, the boys he punched in their faces and broke their arms. And the girls... "Oh my God hurrrggggg!" His stomach muscles contract. A detestable flavor rushed past his tongue. He hurled. Gagging repeatedly. "What have I done? Why did I hurt them so badly? They were just average girls." Kai cried as he continues to remember how easily their bodies broke. Twisted and crushed limbs, brutal punches, tearing into flesh as he sank his claws into their skin. Throughout the whole ordeal he didn't feel any of what he felt now.

To be precise, he didn't feel anything but disdain towards them at the time. In his eyes they might as well have been roaches that needed to be squashed. "What have I become?" He remembered the pair of black metallic gloves that had somehow manifested themselves and how powerful they made him feel. Clenched his fist, he continued walking. His body exhausted. Aching all over. He had no choice but to continue forward.

Eventually he arrived at the harbor. This is where I was headed. The streets weren't crowded like they usually are because it's early in the afternoon. Thus, allowing him to go around unnoticed. He walked into an empty diner. The bell rings as he entered alerting the waitress who was watching TV while wiping the counters.

"Good day la. How my I help you-oh my God la!" She drops a plate. "Young man you're covered in blood la. What happened la?" She came closer. Stops and stares at him. "Wait...that red hair and eyes la. You're not a Yamaguchi are you la?"

The TV switches to the news. "We interrupt your regularly schedule programs to bring you breaking news." Says a woman newscaster. "There was an incident only moments ago at Okinawa High School where a classroom full of students was attacked by an unknown assailant. Luckily no one was killed but all the victims are in critical condition. The authorities are asking anyone with information regarding the attacker to come forward." Both him and the waitress looked at the TV then back at each other. She puts the pieces together. Hesitantly stepping back. "Just in, the police are searching for a person of interest. A classmate of the students that were attacked and is now missing, may have key information in finding the perpetrator. Authorities are seeking the whereabouts of Kai Yamaguchi -oh sh*t! A Yamaguchi is involved?!" Both are stunned by what came out of the newscaster's mouth. "Ehhhm. If you have seen or heard from young Yamaguchi-sama please contact the police at 6944-4-SNITCH." There's clank noise, shuffling and screaming in the background. A hand gives her a piece of paper. She gulped. "And if you value your life and the life of those around you call 69-LOAN-SHARK to get in contact with the Yamaguchi Clan and save yourself. We return you back to your regularly scheduled programming."
