Blooming in the snow

Chapter Two

He looked over at me and I tightened my hoodie, turning back into the school. I swiftly found myself in a vacant storage room and sighed. I pulled out my phone, texting my parents to let them know I might stay a while longer. I didn't want to go out there and cause a scene. As I was typing I heard the door behind me close. I whipped around to see who was there, but no one was. I tried to open the door, but it seemed to be locked from the outside.

In a panic, I began banging on the door, aggressively trying to turn the knob. I started yelling, Doubting that anyone could hear me through the door, but still trying.

"Help! Please! Someone open the door!" My eyes began to water, but then I heard confused muffled sounds from the other side of the door. They heard me! I was saved. I stood back as the door was kicked a few times before falling to the ground. But, to my dread, the three boys from before were standing at the door.

"Yo..."The red-haired said before laughing again. "HE EVEN CRIES LIKE A GIRL! AHAHA!" He held his stomach and the black-haired guy from before rolled his eyes, laughing a bit. I Wiped my eyes and looked down, Embarrassed.

"That's because she is a girl" The white-haired guy suddenly said. His voice was deep and cold. I looked up at him at a loss for words. Shock filled my face as the red-haired guy laughed even more. "A GIRL," He said. "YEAH RIGHT AHAHA"

"N-No I'm not! That's a l-lie!" I scrambled to find the right words. He crossed his arms and began walking closer to me.

"Oh? A Lie you say?" I gulped and walked backward until I was up against the wall. He put his hands on both sides of my head, trapping me between him and the wall. He leaned closer, less than an inch away from my face. He looked me dead in the eyes, his expression cold and sadistic.

"There were rumors that an Omega made it into the school on a scholarship, but everyone said the Omega was female..." His eyes dangerously flicked to my neck. I felt my cheeks heat up. Then, he slowly slid my hood off.

"You look like a female omega..." I gulped, glad I had taken my suppressants for the day.

"You smell like a female omega..." He sniffed my neck seductively before using his teeth to pull off my scarf. 

I flinched as he licked my bare neck."You taste like a female omega..."He said. I defensively brought my hands to my collar as the scarf came off, revealing my chest and Collar. The redhead peeked over and raised his eyebrows.

"Damn..." He said. "I mean, I had my suspicions, but if I had known you were hiding those under your scarf, I maybe would have done something to you earlier...Lesson learned." His black-haired friend scoffed but as their eyes landed on my collar, I bolted for the door, slipping out of the whitehaired guy's pin. I ran and grabbed my skateboard, so close to the gate, so close to home. But as I jumped on it to ride away, a pair of strong hands grabbed my waist and pulled me off, leaving my skateboard to roll away.

"No!" I shouted I tried to squirm out of their grasp. "Let me go!" Suddenly, I was pulled into a dark alley. The redhead Pinned me up against the wall, covering my mouth.

"Shut up!" He said as I tried yelling through his hands. I glared at him, feeling exposed. I calmed down after a bit, tired of pointlessly yelling and squirming. He let out a sigh of relief and stood back, taking a good look at my body, his eyes stopping at my chest area.

"Going commando are we?" He grinned seductively. I crossed my arms over my chest, scared of what would happen next. I was found out, that meant I had to leave, but I couldn't leave my parents or force them to move again. My eyes began to water. To my surprise, he lifted his hands in the air.

"Don't worry kid, your secret is safe with us... I know you must have a good reason for dressing as you do." I looked up at him in shock. I thought they were going to expose me to the school, leaving me out for the wolves to feast on. I shook my head in confusion.

"W-What? Y-You'd keep my secret? Why?" I said. He grinned and placed his hand against the wall near my head.

"Well my dear, the less that knows about you, the more I have you to myself" He licked his lips and I felt my cheeks turn red. He bit his lip, but then backed off, leaning on the other wall.

"Akari Tokoyami." He said, holding out his hand. I hesitated. "Don't worry puppy, I ain't gonna hurt you." After a pause, I gently took his hand. "Kuro..." I said "Kuro Kannanobi"

He grinned as I shook his hand. ''Now" He said. "Let me introduce you to your new group of friends." I stammered as he escorted me out of the alleyway, my guard still up.

"Friends?" I said. "After what you all tried to pull? After all of that harassment? How do you expect-" He stopped me, pinning me against the wall again.

He whispered so close to my ear, that I could feel his breath on my neck."Don't forget who saved you during your little storage incident... you owe us your life for that..."

 I said nothing, knowing perfectly well that he was right. We walked to the front gate. Akari's friends were standing there. The one with white hair had my skateboard in his hands.

 
"This," Akari said, pointing to the white-haired man. "Is Izishiko Nomura. He can be a little mean at times, but he's a good guy." I nodded silently.

 The man with black hair held his hand out to me. "I'm Darou Sakanaro." I shook his hand, nodding again. Izishiko glanced at me from his side.

"We know you can talk... If you want this back," He waved my Skateboard in the air. "It's common courtesy to introduce yourself" He gave me a cold stare. I hesitantly dipped my head.

The words sped out of my mouth faster than expected"It's a pleasure to meet you all... My name is K-Kuro Kannanobi. Sorry for causing so much trouble but I think I should head home now" I began pacing away, but then a hand seized my wrist. I turned around to see Izishiko holding onto my wrist tightly, glaring coldly at me. My eyes widened in fear, but to my surprise, he pulled my hoodie over my head, putting my scarf back on.

"So Clumsy..." He shoved my skateboard into my hands and scoffed, walking away. I watched him as he walked away, stunned by what he did.

"T-Thank you Izishuko!" I said, quickly bowing. He stooped. I hopped on my skateboard and smoothly but swiftly rode up the hill, heading home.

***

When she called his name, Izishiko felt a chill of pleasure run down his spine, causing him to stop. Something about her made him lose his mind. He felt like he had to protect her, like a part of him left along with her. He didn't know if it was instinct or not, but he wanted that girl... He Needed her.

Akari felt the same way. Something about her pulled him in. Her smile sent tingles to his chest, making it tighten. The way she reacted to everything, it made him want to see more of her reactions...more of her. She pulled at the strings of his heart, and he wanted to keep her safe, right next to him.

Darou was confused. To him, she seemed so exposed, so vulnerable. She was like a forbidden fruit. So sweet, so nursing, so... tempting. He wanted her to be all his. He didn't know what it was but her personality, her brain, and her body all were perfect. He hated the thought of her now being his, and his alone...
