Kamiyama Takes.h.i.+ looks at his school thoughtfully before he turns away . Last night, his elder brother didn"t come home . At the morning, he saw his grandmother being about something . Later, he found out that his half-sister is in the hospital and his elder brother is with her .
He is going to visit his half-sister .
"Takes.h.i.+, where are we going?" Miyamoto Haru stops his friend when he sees him going in the opposite direction . He points in the direction of his school . "School is that way . "
"Skipping," Takes.h.i.+ replies quietly . His grandmother won"t be happy if she finds out that . He will skip school today to visit his sister . "I will see you tomorrow . Bye . "
"Wait!" Haru follows him anyway . His voice is not low . "Takes.h.i.+, are you taking the dark road of life now? You never skip school . "
Other students stare and start whispering . Takes.h.i.+ feels like he has a headache . For the first time, he wants to skip school for honourable reasons . His annoying friend isn"t making it easy .
"Who is taking the dark road?" Kinos.h.i.+ta Iori appears right in front of them like a ghost and glares at them . "Tell me, Haru, who is taking the dark road?"
Takes.h.i.+ sighs . Why is this girl nosy in everyone"s matter? No, why can"t she leave him alone? He flicks her forehead and tells her, "Stay out of it . "
"Takes.h.i.+, it"s you . " Iori scowls at him . "A few days ago, you beat up your cla.s.smates . Then, you made a girl cry . Now, you are taking the dark road . "
"Iori, he is just skipping school today . Don"t take my words seriously," Haru tells her awkwardly . Most of the students are gone now .
"Skipping school?" Iori yells loudly . "Takes.h.i.+, you can"t skip the cla.s.ses . "

Takes.h.i.+ scowls at her . "If you don"t want to be late, then go to school . You can tell the teacher . "
Takes.h.i.+ ignores her and walks straight by . Haru steals a glance at Iori and follows Takes.h.i.+ . Iori clenches her fists and decides to follow Takes.h.i.+ too . She knows that he is having a hard time since his parents died . She can"t let him take the wrong path of life . She will stop him .
"Why are you following me?" Takes.h.i.+ suddenly stops and glares at Iori and Haru . "I don"t remember asking you two to come with me . "
"We are childhood friends . " Haru slaps his own chest and looks at him with sad eyes . "We will live together, skip together, and die together . "
"I am not sure about dying," Iori mumbles and shrugs her shoulders . "I don"t feel like going to school today . "
Takes.h.i.+ stares at them coldly . "If you want to come, then don"t say unnecessary words . "
"Takes.h.i.+, where are we going?" Haru asks with worries . He has never skipped school before . What if they are caught? His mother will beat him to death .
Takes.h.i.+ ignores his question . The trio gets into the cab . n.o.body speaks a word until they reach the hospital . Takes.h.i.+ is thinking about his sister . His sister asked whether he is being bullied at school . She seemed concerned while trying to look aloof . Though he is not being bullied, he is still upset . He doesn"t know how to accept that his mother was that kind of person . He thought that his mother was loving and good . Now, he wonders why did his mother never tried to contact his sister .

"Are we done?" I look at the Kamiyama b.a.s.t.a.r.d with exhaustion . From blood tests to MRI, what did he not leave out? I am sure that I have been tested for all diseases that are there . That doctor is doing it all too happy to make a big bill .

"No, we are waiting for your test results . "
"I am not paying for any of this . "
"I am not asking you to . " He clicks his tongue . "I want to know everything about you . "
I grimace at him . "You want to know everything to use it against me or protect yourself if things go wrong?"
"Both . " He stretches his long legs . He hasn"t left since he brought me here . His hand is bandaged too . I know that I am the one who is at fault . But, this guy is too stubborn for his own good . He doesn"t need to go this far .
"I don"t have any disease . It was just food poisoning . "
He looks at me with a dull expression . "You threw up blood . "
"I coughed too hard . It has happened before . It"s nothing serious . " I look away, feeling uneasy .
He looks angrier . I don"t know what I have done to irritate this p.r.i.c.kly creature . I have told him the truth . "You coughed so hard that you threw up . You don"t think that it"s serious?"
"I have received a checkup before . " This is getting annoying . Why I am explaining it to him?
"Throwing up blood is a serious matter . You might have a contagious disease . " He glares at me . "If you suddenly die while you are in the care of the Kamiyama family, it will be a disaster . "

This b.a.s.t.a.r.d! I want to smack his face .
"You are afraid whether you are contaminated or not . " I smile at him . "I hope that you do . I hope that you get tuberculosis . "
"If I am contaminated, then I will kill you . " He leans back in his chair and closes his eyes . He seems tired .
"I will kill you first . "
"n.o.body needs to kill anyone . " The doctor makes an appearance . "You don"t have any contaminating disease . "
I glance at Kamiyama . I told you, right?
"Your lungs airway was slightly irritated because you coughed too hard . It"s strange that you would cough that way while throwing up . " He flicks through the papers . "Do you have an allergy to a certain food?"
I let out a deep breath . "I am allergic to whatever he forces me to eat . "
"Don"t be mad at him, Miss . " The doctor smiles mildly . "Mr Kamiyama didn"t leave your side since he brought you here . "
"He is afraid that he will get contaminated . "

"Takes.h.i.+, why are we here?" Iori asks him, but he ignores her . She is annoyed by his att.i.tude . Are his words made of gold? Hmph!
"Did something happen to your brother or grandmother?" Haru asks with concern .
"It"s my sister . " Takes.h.i.+ barely whispers, but Iori hears him anyway .
"Your sister . . . the one from the news?" She asks loudly . Takes.h.i.+ doesn"t answer her . They arrive in front of the patient"s room . The door opens suddenly . A man in a white coat comes out . On his cheek, there is a bright red handprint .
"Is my sister here?" He asks the doctor who looks like his soul is on the verge of flying away . The doctor puts his hand on Takes.h.i.+"s shoulder . "I don"t have any energy left . They are scary . My ears are numb . I am taking leave . I need therapy . I am done with this . I am never getting married . "
The poor doctor walks away with slump shoulders . Iori and Haru gulp after hearing the doctor"s words . Is Takes.h.i.+"s sister that scary? They have seen the video of her . They are too scared to go inside .
Takes.h.i.+ shakes his head and smiles . His personality completely changes in an instant . He pushes open the door and witnesses the baffling scene .
His sister is sitting on the bed, cross-legged . She has grabbed his brother"s head and she is trying to push him away with full strength . His brother, who is sitting on a chair, has also grabbed her head and trying to push her away from him . Their jaws are clenched and there is a blood-thirsty look in their eyes . Just what is going on here?
"Is that Takes.h.i.+"s elder brother?" Iori"s eyes almost fall out of the sockets when she sees her crush like that . Takes.h.i.+"s brother has always been handsome, sophisticated, aloof, cold, and . . . did she mention handsome? She has liked him for a long time . But, this is the first time when she is seeing him like this .
"They are head-b.u.t.ting?" Haru asks in a daze . "Takes.h.i.+, your sister is pretty . "
Takes.h.i.+ is ashamed for the first time in his life . He clears his throat to attract their attention, but they are so into it that they don"t notice at all . He claps his hand loudly . No attention . Finally, he walks to his brother side and yells, "Sister, how are you feeling now? Dealing with my thick-headed brother must have drained your energy . "
