Chapter 2 – SuspicionAfter my little encounter with the phantom, I entered the mansion called home and was greeted once again by the family butler and maids. Greeting them back, I walked straight to my sister’s room; though once I did entered her room, it seemed to be a bit different comparatively to the last time I went in not really long ago. The only thing that didn’t seem different was the sight of my sister; staring intently at her computer screen, which I was also welcome with, as her fingers typed furiously on her keyboard. Her desk was filled with books, from big to small, and papers scattered all over it. I then took notice of the wall right next to her desk covered with papers taped to it; showing printed pictures and writings.
“Oh. You’re back.” She said; taking notice of my presence in her room. “Shouldn’t you be in bed? It’s already past midnight.” She playfully asked; spinning her chair towards me as she stretched her arms.
“Right back at’cha.” I replied; rolling my eyes at her. She should also be sleeping at this hour; examining her room, I could tell she was working whatever she was doing from this morning until now. I should probably be the one saying that to her. Walking towards her, I stared at her wall masked with a bunch of papers as I said, in a somewhat scolding matter; pointing my thumb at her wall. “I was only out for about half an hour or so, and all of a sudden, your room is a complete mess. You did all this while I was gone?”
She shook her head left and right as she opened her mouth to answer and explain. “Nah. I did these in the library; I was just arranging the stuff I found in order while you were gone.” I bet you she skipped school to do all this research. Not like the college care or anything.
Staring back at the wall, I went to it and leaned forward; taking a closer look at the writings and at the printed paintings and pictures; they were all just about Dark Kai.
“Are these just all about Kai-san?” I asked her the most obvious question; of course, they were all about him. However, just staring at her half covered wall and her desk filled with opened books and papers made me think otherwise a little. How could all of these information were just about Dark Kai? There were at least dozens even hundreds of different information on her wall. Literally!
“Well, these are all I found so far; there are much more I haven’t found yet.” She answered with a hand behind her head; staring at her desk while laughing sheepishly and added, “I’m just doing a background check.”
There are more?! Just what the hell is this guy? Since everybody knew little or not at all of whom he was, I thought they would have little information of him. I was pretty sure all these info were just events of every thievery and what kind of artifacts he stole back in those days until present days.
“Though, I did discover something interesting about the legendary phantom thief.” She announced as she looked at me; smiling widely.
Curious, I stood quietly on my spot, silently urging her to continue and explain every detail she had discovered; wanting to know more about the mysterious blond boy. Standing up from her rolling chair, she walked towards me with a book in her hand; flipping it to a certain page and gave it to me, only to find a picture of a painting, from what I can see was a body with black wings and the figure’s face purposely blurred. Was this unknown being supposed to be Kai-san?
“Did you know Dark Kai’s very first appearance was in the early years of the 15th century?” She asked; her arms crossed over her chest.
“How do you know that and how can you be so sure?” My head turning to face her, I asked as she grinned while pointing at the corner of the page and told me, “Check the date of the painting.”
Looking closely at the printed artwork in the book, there was a date of when the painting was made cited at the bottom right corner of the page; I read the small writing out loud and my eyes were like saucers as I spun towards my sister, who had a grin on her lips only to grow wider when our eyes made contact.
“This painting was called the Dark Angel where the artist himself has actually seen a young man with black angel wings in a distance, which we can all assume was Dark Kai; this piece of art was the very first painting about his discovery of the phantom thief. Back then, paintings took months even years to complete; which meant that earlier than that said year on that painting was the phantom thief’s very, very first appearance.” She explained concluded; adding, “But, that’s not all; what I’m about to tell you is much more shocking than this one.” She went to her desk; rummaging through the mess and upon finding what she was searching for, she passed me a full page photo of the blond thief, “As you already know, this is a clear picture of Dark Kai from last night's robbery, which is the current phantom thief.” I nodded; urging her to continue further in her explanation as she gave me another photo of the same mysterious blond boy, taken in a full body portrait into the night sky and the face was still clear to see, but the quality was a tad different than the other one.
“Why are you giving me two different pictures of Kai?” I pointed out confusingly; looking at my sister straight into her eyes.
“That’s the thing.” She pointed at the photo I’m holding in my left hand and obviously stated, “This is the current Dark Kai…” She then pointed at my right hand and finally indicated, “…and this is Dark Kai; two decades ago.”
“What!” I exclaimed; knowing very well my eyes looked like an owl’s.
“And that’s not all; I kinda made a photocopy of a picture in one of grandpa’s old case files without dad’s permission, and…” She showed me another photo; it was in black and white and a bit blurry, but there was no mistake, it was another Kai. “This is Dark Kai before the last one.” She added pointing the picture in my right hand.
Now, I was completely and utterly speechless. Looking at the pictures again and again and again; all three Dark Kai in the photos were definitely and exactly identical to one another. Just what did it mean? Were all three Dark Kai the same person or were they duplicates?
“The phantom thief could be either immortal or the current Kai-san could be one of the original Dark Kai’s descendants; but, I highly doubt on the first since it’s very impossible and the latter is a very small chance of being true.” She said as she sat back down on her chair again; looking up at me. “Despite the thought of the latter was most unlikely; however, every time I stare at those pictures, they reminded me of someone; someone I met, but I just couldn’t put my finger on it, so I asked a good friend of mine to make a facial scan for me and four came very positive.”
“Four out of millions of people in this country? How would you know where they are?” I questioned as I approached her; standing right in front of her while giving back the pictures.
“I already know who it is; which was really surprising since I’ve just met that person today and three out of the four are actually related. Fortunately, one was too old to be the current Dark Kai and two are currently overseas which leaves us one person left who is still currently living in the city.” She took out one last photo in her bag and slapped it on her desk. Staring at the picture, I was stunned once again; but that’s…
“Takahashi Minami.”
---
That couldn’t be. Sure, I did suspected her since the night before; but, it didn’t made sense at all. She’s a girl after all. However, saying that made me think otherwise after what Yuko-nee told me.
“Who knows, she could disguise herself as a boy to take the phantom thief, Dark Kai’s place during the night.”Heaving a deep sigh, I spun my body in my bed; facing the windows as I looked at the curtains where the moonlight could be seen through it. My eyes drew towards the entrance of my balcony as a flashback of how I first saw Kai in person appeared before my eyes. Thinking about it too much made me tired as I unconsciously fell asleep.
*~*~*~*~*~*
I was now in my classroom, sitting at my desk as I lay my head in my crossed arms on my desk; trying to get a little more sleep before class would start. Maybe it was a terrible idea to stay up really late and chat with my sister for overly an hour about her research and discovery about the young blond man, rather than taking my full beauty sleep and rest my body. I had at least five hours or less of sleep which wasn’t enough, especially for me; at the moment, I was clearly exhausted and a bit cranky. While sleeping uncomfortably on my desk, I heard footsteps behind me; walking towards me.
“Are you okay Acchan? You seem more tired than yesterday.” I heard Tomochin asking; worry evident in her voice.
“Yeah, did something happen?” Miichan added; taking a seat at Takamina-san’s desk, facing me.
“Well, I was just chatting with Yuko-nee and lost track of time and ended up sleeping quite late.” I answered; looking up from my crossed arms.
After that little chat with my friends, I resumed sleeping; make that, trying to resume sleeping as Tomochin and Miichan talked to each other near my desk; leaving me be. Seconds later, I heard the door of the classroom slid open and for some reason, my head shot up to look at its direction like it wanted me to look over the door and there, passing by that door was Takamina-san appearing in class as she approached her desk; formally greeting us.
Shaking my sleep and exhaustion away, I looked at her curiously. Honestly, I think she couldn’t be the phantom thief; she just couldn’t. Kai-san and Takamina-san are two different people; I couldn’t imagine Takamina-san to act like Kai-san at all.
“What the…!” Takamina-san suddenly said; staring inside her bag as if she saw the most scariest thing in her life.
“What’s the matter Minami?” Tomochin asked as she approached the small girl who quickly closed her bag and holding it protectively in her arms; taking a step back, cautiously.
“Oh. It’s nothing.” She nervously laughed which looked really suspicious.
“You must love your bag so much to be holding it like that.” I commented; standing up from my seat and taking a few steps closer to her as well as she fidgeted on her spot; grinning sheepishly
“Oh this? I-it’s nothing, really.”
Suddenly, without even thinking, I grabbed a hold of her arm; surprising her as I dragged her out of the class, earning a couple of curious glances from the other students as I walked down the hallway while holding Takamina-san’s arm.
“Eh? A-Atsuko-san?” I heard her calling my name confusingly and asked, “Where are you taking me?”
“I just need to make sure of something.”
Arriving at the girl’s restroom, we entered in a cubicle as I slightly pushed her to the wall; shocking her from my sudden action. I quickly locked the door and spun towards her; leaning over to stare at her closely, our faces a few inches apart. Truthfully, I could thoroughly see the resemblance of Kai-san’s face in Takamina-san’s; the only difference was their hair colour and the colour of their eyes. Despite the resemblance, they were also somehow very different at the same time; the feel of their personality were very off.
Looking deeply into the girl’s dark brown eyes, they definitely have a different feel to Kai-san’s sharp blue ones; hers looked very innocent and childish while Dark Kai’s looked so mysterious and mature, their auras were opposite to the other. My eyes soon glanced down to land on her lips and all of a sudden, after staring for a few seconds, I had a quick flashback of my first kiss with the young blond boy as I remembered the feel of his soft lips on mine; a sudden heat went rushing to my head and I squeaked at the memory making Takamina-san flinched slightly.
“Atsuko-san, are you alright? You’re all red. Are you coming down with a fever?” She asked worriedly, her head slightly tilted to the side looking all cute; like a cute little boy asking if his friend’s was hurt.
Internally shaking the images off my head , I averted my gaze away from the girl’s worried one and quickly unlocked the cubicle and walked out without answering her question and without looking back while ignoring her calls.
---
Class started after that somewhat embarrassing scene in front of Takamina-san, and during class, I was more concentrated to the girl seated in front of me, who kept staring at her bag strangely, than the lecture the teacher was teaching. Somehow, every five to ten seconds, she kept glancing at her bag which seemed to be really weird and very suspicious.
Two whole class periods has been like that; me intently staring at Takamina-san’s back as she glanced worriedly at her bag every now and then.
The bell rang; signalling the end of class and the beginning of lunch and as usual, Tomochin and Miichan grabbed a chair nearby and sat by my desk as they opened their lunchboxes and began eating the goods in it. We talked about numerous things until I saw Takamina-san shyly heading towards our way with her bag in hand. Weird much.
“Um…Tomochin, do you have a bit of money for me; so I can buy lunch in the cafeteria?” Takamina-san asked shyly; facing my best friend on my right.
“Why? Doesn’t you’re mom always prepare you lunch or did you forget to bring it? That’s unlikely of you, you know.” Tomochin asked as she went through her bag; handing her ex-girlfriend a thousand yen bill.
“Thanks; I’ll pay you back tomorrow. Yes, my mom still prepares me lunch and no, I didn’t forget it.” She replied; thanking Tomochin for the small amount of cash and added while presenting her bag in front of us; heaving a depressing sigh, “She ate my lunch.”
“Your bag ate your lunch?” My brows creased to a frown at her odd excuse.
“No.” She answered me as she opened her bag and something came out of it; a small furry head peaked out of bag and cutely meowed. “Nyaachan did; she probably snuck into my bag while I was eating breakfast this morning and ate my katsudon during our classes.”
Tomochin squealed as quietly as possible as she discreetly took the kitten in her arms and the kitty happily purred in my best friend’s embrace. Takamina-san politely asked the three of us to watch over the cute little kitty as she went down the cafeteria to buy her lunch. When she came back, she came back with a couple of wrapped breads and a small carton of milk in her arms; she gave the rest of the change back to Tomochin as she took her chair and turned it around to face me. Takamina-san began eating her food as her little kitty noticed its master with more food in hand and jumped off of Tomochin’s arms to join the shorter girl; positioning itself on her lap as her little paws and head rested on my desk, eyeing at Takamina-san’s lunch.
“Damn you little glutton.” Takamina-san playfully growled under her breath as she ripped a piece of her bread and fed it to her cat that ate the piece very happily.
“You know, the last time I saw Nyaachan, she still has the same size as now. Doesn’t she grow?” Tomochin asked; resuming eating her lunch as Takamina-san nodded while drinking her carton of milk.
“Was that the reason why you’ve been staring at your bag every damn time in class?” I questioned which caused her to widen her eyes.
“H-how did you know?” She asked; stuttering and stunned.
“You’re sitting in front of me; of course I would notice that.” I simply answered. It was sort of obvious with the way she kept staring at her bag anxiously every damn time.
"It was that obvious huh. I was just afraid that Nyaachan might jump out of my bag and would just cause trouble for me and it would be hard to explain the teacher why I had my pet in my bag." Takamina-san glanced at the small cat; smiling affectionately at it.
After half an hour, lunch ended and a new period of class started.
---
When class finally ended for the day, it was mine and Takamina-san’s turn to clean the classroom; she was sweeping the floor as I cleaned the blackboard and wrote afterwards the necessary things for next class while the little kitty was lying comfortably on Takamina-san’s desk; sleeping soundly.
“Your cat is very cute Takamina-san.” Awkwardly opening a conversation with the other girl, I turned to her; watching her picking up the dirt on the floor with the dustpan and threw it in the trashcan.
“There is no need for formalities; we’re classmates aren’t we? Takamina or Minami is fine.” She said; smiling and answered, "She is, isn't she?" I nodded in response.
“Then, you can also call me Atsuko or Acchan.” I told her as she nodded happily. “Um…Takamina, is it true that you use to go out with Tomochin since the end of middle school till freshmen year of high school?” I asked curiously. I know the question was kind of stupid especially when I already knew the answer; I just wanted to make sure for that fact.
“Tomochin told you guys, didn’t she?” I nodded at her question as she placed the broom and the dustpan away in the storage closet; turning to face me. “To answer your question, yes we did; but that’s long history now. We’re just friends; nothing more, nothing less.”
Nodding at her answer, I soon changed the topic after a few seconds of silence.
“Say, do you know the legendary phantom thief; Dark Kai?” Asking her curiously, I examined every movement and every reaction she made; so far, not a single reaction or any weird movement appeared when I asked a simple question.
“Not really; all I know was what the people talked about in media.” She answered easily without any suspicion.
“If you were him, hypothetically, why would he steal famous artworks?” I asked; wanting to know that if she really was the phantom thief, why she would steal pieces of art. Was it to just take part of her collection or sell it somewhere at a huge price.
“Hmm…That’s a tough question; honestly, I have no clue why he would do that but I’m pretty sure he has his reasons to.”
*~*~*~*~*~*
My sister came to pick me up instead of my driver after my cleaning duties; she told me we would stop by the library just to return the books she borrowed the day before. When we arrived at the library, she asked for my help to carry the books and when I saw the pile in her trunk, I swore I felt a sweat drop dripping on my temple; they were at least many dozens of books in the trunk of her car.
After at least forty-five minutes of carrying books back and forth to the library, my sister and I went at a café nearby; treating me to tasty sweets for helping. Can’t let those treats go to waste. And how can I say no and resist them especially when I’m not the one paying for them.
“So…” I suddenly heard my sister said as I looked up from my piece of cake. “…did you check upon Takahashi?” She asked.
“I did investigate a little; but I seriously think you’ve got the wrong person.” I answered; drinking my cup of tea to clear my throat.
“What makes you say that?” She frowned as she leaned forward; urging me to continue further into details.
“They have different personalities and the vibe of their auras is completely unlike to one another like they’re two different people; maybe their resemblance was just a coincidence.” I finished my cake as the waitress took our empty plates and cups; placing the bill on the table.
“You sound like you’ve already met the phantom thief.” She commented; paying for our food and left the café; slowly heading towards her parked car.
“What are you talking about? Obviously, I never met the guy; I just assumed it was by looking at his eyes in the picture you showed me last night.” I lied; reasoning.
“Plus, how can it be a coincidence? Three people of the same family have the same face of the legendary phantom thief; the current one could be Takahashi Minami; the last Dark Kai could be a man that could possibly by her father, and the Dark Kai before the last one could be the older man which could also possibly be her grandfather.” She reasoned which still made me doubt that Takamina was the mysterious thief. The way she talked about the phantom thief in our conversation during our cleaning duties, was most definitely not a lie.
Stopping by my sister’s car, she was about to fish out her keys and unlock the door, when suddenly, something or someone trapped us in a very tight hold as they covered our noses and mouths with a handkerchief. I struggled under the tight grip but, I smelled something funny on the thin clothe and then all of a sudden, everything turned very dark and went blank.
*~*~*~*~*~*
On the cold tiled floor, my eyes slowly opened and blinked; adjusting to the darkness. Sitting up, my head felt quite heavy as I realized my hands and feet were tied up by a thick rope; I looked around, trying to find my sister. I sighed in relief when I saw she was just lying on the floor also tied up by her hands and feet, still unconscious.
Examining my surroundings, we were inside a large empty room; the floor was dirty and the walls were painted with numerous of graffiti. We were probably in a warehouse or in an abandon building. Hearing grunts by my side, I dragged myself; approaching my sister as she also woke up. Groaning slightly in pain, my sister slowly sat up as I helped her up.
“What happen?” She grunted as she looked around. “And where are we?”
“I don’t know.” I replied as I stuck myself to her, afraid.
Suddenly, sounds of footsteps were heard; step by step, approaching at our direction. The door opened and four men appeared with a smirk on each of their faces. I went behind my sister like she told me to; starting to feel more afraid than when I woke up a few minutes ago. What do you want from us; why did they kidnap us?
Two men came at my direction while the two other men went to my sister's; separating us as they untied the rope from our feet, pulling us up to stand and went out of the room. Walking down the stairs, I found another man standing there alone seeming to be expecting and waiting for us. The man was probably the boss and I feared of what would happen to me and my sister.
“Well, well; looks like you girls are finally awake.” The man said; turning to us as an evil grin was plastered on his face.
“What do you want?” My sister growled; trying to push away the men holding her as the mastermind of our kidnapping laughed.
“Ooh, feisty; I like that. Don’t have to be hasty; we just want to play…” He walked up to my sister; cupping her chin in his hand. “…with your bodies.” My sister tried to remove his grip on her chin but the man had a tight grip on it as he ordered his followers, “Boys, you can take the tall one; I’ll take care of this one.”
The man took hold of my sister’s body as the two men who were holding my sister walked up to me; joining their two other friends as they harshly pushed me to a dirty mattress.
“Don’t you dare touch her; ‘cause I swear to God, I will fucking kill you!” My sister exclaimed; struggling under the man grip, seeing the four men hovering above me as they ripped my uniform open and touched my body in inappropriate places which made me cry and squirm, trying to get away from their filthy hands.
Two men were touching my breast; kissing my neck as the two others were licking my legs, hands going up my skirt, groping on my thighs. I cried louder; tears falling from my eyes, trickling down my cheeks as I tried as best as I could to fight them off and move away from these perverted men. However, with my hands and legs tied up tightly, there was no chance I could escape from them; there was nothing I could do.
“Oh. Don’t be like that; I promised she would feel good and enjoy the pleasure afterwards, just watch and enjoy the show.” I heard the boss laughing maniacally as I suddenly heard a light thud and someone running towards my way; seeing my sister pushing the men away from me.
“Why you little bitch!” One of the men yelled as one of them held her from behind while the other took out a knife and stabbed the side of my sister’s stomach.
“YUKO-NEE!!!” I screamed; witnessing my sister being stabbed before my eyes as I immediately went to her side, pushing the men away from her while putting pressure on her wound, trying to stop the bleeding but it didn’t seem to be stopping any time soon which caused me to panic.
The boss punched the man who stabbed my sister and yelled at him while kicking him continuously until the man stopped moving. “Now how am I supposed to have my fun with an injured girl?!”
The leader of the group walked angrily towards our way as he separated me from my sister which made me scream for her. The boss looked at me mischievously and began to undo my undergarments; I struggled under his hold, making it hard for him to remove them as the last three men joined him to help.
“I’ll just have my fun with you instead.”
“
DON’T TOUCH HER!!!” My sister screamed from the top of her lungs.
Suddenly, the men including the leader were pushed away from me; opening my eyes, I looked at my surroundings and saw the men were a couple feet away as they struggled to stand up. Looking up, I found the phantom thief standing behind me seeming very angry. He removed his jacket and placed it over my shoulders as he also removed the rope from my wrist. When seeing the red rings around my wrist, I began to rubbed them; massaging the slight pain away.
“Who are you?!” The leader asked angrily; earning nothing but silence as an answer, he growled as her commanded his last three men, “What are you guys doing? Attack him!”
Kai-san told me to stay put as all three men grabbed metal bars and pipes from the floor and begun to charge at the blond boy. The boy dodged every attack the men swung with their weapons as one of them attacked from the side and Kai-san caught the pipes in his hand without any effort as he elbowed the man on his chest and twisted his body; delivering a kick on the head, making the man fall and fainted from the hit. The two left charged at the same time as the boy ran to them; jumping into the air and kicked both their heads, falling down with a loud thud. They groaned in pain as Kai-san punched their faces hard making them unconscious.
The boss laughed and clapped his hands in amusement as he commented, “You brought my men down so easily without sweating a single drop of sweat; I’m very impress.”
Kai-san just stood silent which angered the man even more.
“I’m complimenting you and you just…” And just like the speed of light, the man was already down with Kai-san’s hand on the man’s face like he just pushed the man’s head; hitting it on the hard cement.
“I do not talk to the likes of you.” I heard the blond boy said; averting his eyes away to find mine as he walked up to my sister; removing the rope from her wrist as he held her in his arms.
Remembering my sister’s injuries, I quickly ran toward them as I watched worriedly at my sister gritting her teeth in pain. Noticing Kai-san was leaning towards her face, I stopped him and exclaimed; trying to take my sister away from his hold as I cried, fearing for her life.
“What do you think you’re doing?!”
“Don’t worry; I’m just going to heal her. Trust me okay?” He said sincerely; his eyes staring into my mine, trying to sooth them.
Stopping my attempts to take my sister from the blond boy’s arms, I nodded my head in response; knowing that I could trust him completely. With that, the boy came face to face with my sister again; watching him leaning down. My eyes were like saucers as I watched Kai-san pressed his lips upon my sister. A really bright light appeared on my sister’s still bleeding wound; the light slowly getting smaller and smaller until it disappeared.
I let out a sigh of relief as my sister’s eyes opened, though she flinched when she came face to face with the phantom thief and a blush appeared on her face; she moved away from Kai-san’s embrace as it was his turn to wince in pain, holding the side of his stomach. It was then we realized he was beginning to bleed.
“You’re bleeding! Did you get stabbed by one of those guys too?!” I asked worriedly; going by his side.
“No; I transferred your sister’s wound to my body which was how she was healed in the first place.” He said as he tore a part of his shirt and tying it around the newly made wound on his side. “Come on; I’ll take you girls home.”
“You sure haven’t change at all.” Suddenly, a voice was heard from above as we all looked up at a large window and a figure was seen who seemed to be a bit familiar. “Why don’t you just finish them off?”
“You! You planned this didn’t you?!” Kai-san replied angrily; his eyes wide in shocked as the unknown person chuckled at his accusation. I assume this unknown person and Kai-san know each other.
“Now why would I do that?” The figure said as they giggled which seemed to piss the blond boy more. “We’ll meet again, Dark Kai.”
The mysterious figure fell from the window; surprising me, but suddenly, we saw something flying and disappeared. Was that another angel look-alike like Kai?
Kai-san calmed himself down as he told us to follow him outside. Outside, a black panther cub with big angel wings seemed to be waiting for us; Kai-san gently grabbed a hold of our waist as he commanded us to hold on tight while the little panther disappeared into the air and landed on the boy’s back, sinking in and became his black wings.
The blond boy flew off into the already dark sky with us in his arms; my sister kept staring at him in amazement. Arriving at home, Dark Kai landed smoothly on the ground and gently set us down.
“Thanks for saving our lives; we will be in your debt.” Yuko-nee thanked the blond boy as he shook his head; replying, “No need to repay me.”
All of a sudden, we all heard an angry voice behind us as we turned towards the source of the angry voice and found my father; shooting daggers, obviously at the blond boy beside me and my sister.
“What are you doing here Kai? And why are you with my daughters?!” He growled protectively; grabbing both my arm and my sister’s, bringing us behind him.
“Dad it’s not like that!” My sister and I stepped up removing our father’s grip on our arms as our father spoke back, “I’m talking to him not you!”
“I just save their lives from being raped by kidnappers.” Kai suddenly said; shocking my father as he stared at us and noticed my ripped uniform while I covered myself with Kai-san’s jacket. That got him speechless. “Instead of focusing on just capturing me, why don’t you do your job as the protector of this city? If it weren’t for me, who knows what would happen to both of your daughters.”
The phantom thief quickly flew away after saying that to my father.
*~*~*~*~*~*
Another day at school, and I was tired again as I chatted with my two best friends. Thank God I had an extra set of my uniform and I was very thankful I was still alive today. Last night’s experience was very frightening and terrifying; obviously, I don’t want anything like that would happen to me again.
My sister was also alright as she left home early; going to her car were she left it by the café.
Hearing the door slid open, I saw Takamina entering the classroom; looking very tired as well. All of a sudden, like yesterday, I grabbed her arm and dragged her to the girl’s restroom as my two best friends called for me. Locking the cubicle, I stared at Takamina who got really nervous and confuse; unlike yesterday, I slightly lifted her shirt to see if she had the wound Dark Kai had last night, however, there was no injury on her stomach, not even a single scar.
“Acchan, what are you doing?” She asked; removing my hold on her shirt as she brought her shirt back down.
“It’s nothing.” I replied; internally sighing in relief and walked away.
