The next morning..."Groannn..." groaned Karma. The sunlight was seeping through the curtains. It was a school day.
"d.a.m.n it, my head hurts." complained Karma. He got up and went to his closet. There were clothes scattered on the floor. Karma picked a random shirt and pants and put them on. He went and got ready for the day. After eating some bread, he grabbed his backpack and went out the door.
He arrived at a deli to buy lunch, since he couldn"t cook. He picked out a regular bento with rice and meat.
"That will be 1000 yen" said the cashier. Karma paid the price and walked out. The sun was glaring. Karma walked onto the path that leads to Shounen High. There were a lot of students talking and laughing.
Karma, who didn"t want to be seen as a loner, quickly went to cla.s.s. He thought he was safe but just his luck, a rumor was spreading about him.
"Hey, did you hear about the 10 beat up gang members?" one girl said. "Appearently one kid did it and made them partially paralyzed."
"He didn"t have to go that far." said a boy. "He"s like a murderer. Scary..."
Gossips didn"t really bother Karma, but this one made him furious.
*It wasn"t my fault! It was the demon inside of me!*
Karma didn"t make a scene and made his way towards cla.s.s 2-E. He sat down at his desk and looked out the window. The birds were soaring through the sky.
"How I wish I can fly away from all this s.h.i.t..." muttered Karma to himself.
The bell rang. It was time for homeroom. The students settled into their seats and the teacher, Ms. Kiyotara, walked into the cla.s.sroom.
"Good morning everyone. I"ll like to announce that we have a new transfer student joining us." Ms. Kiyotara. "Come in."
A sliver-haired girl walked into the cla.s.sroom. She wore sliver earrings and carried a pretty fashionable bag. She was quite beautiful too. She walked to the board and wrote her name: Kamayama Shirohana. She put the chalk down and walked forward.
"h.e.l.lo, everyone! My name is Shirohana. Kamayama Shirohana. Hope we all get along!" Shirohana exclaimed happily.
The cla.s.s burst with excitement. Shirohana"s beauty awed all of the student. Her name, which means "white flower", fit her quite well.
At lunch, everyone gathered around Shirohana.
"Where did you come from?" said one guy
"How do you keep your hair so smooth?" said one girl.
*Of course she"s going to get popular...*
Karma wasn"t interested in the new girl. He took his bento and walked out the room to the rooftop. The breeze was cool up here. From the edge, you can see all of Tren City.
Karma sat down on the ground and opened his bento. Karma quietly ate his lunch, gazing at the sky. The birds were flying above, as if mocking him for being confined by his murderous nature.
The bell soon rang and Karma returned to cla.s.s. By the end of the day, everyone was talking about the new girl in 2-E.
Karma quickly walked out of school. He wanted to just go home and sleep. He didn"t want what occurred yesterday to happen again. As he was walking, he saw a group of men. They were surrounding the new girl.
"Hey girl. Wanna hang?" said one dude.
"Let"s grab something to eat. I"ll treat you." said another dude.
"Please go away." Shirohana said. "I have no intention of going with you."
"Don"t be so cold." One guy replied, as he went and touched Shirohana.
"Don"t touch me!" Shirohana shouted, as slapped the guy.
"You b.i.t.c.h..!" said the guy being slapped. He punched Shirohana in the gut. Shirohana screamed in pain. The guys then continued to harm her.
"Weak britches like you should not act so tough!" said the guy who punched her.
At that moment, those words triggered the darkest part of Karma. His face turned into a evil smile. All he cared about now was to take on those guys proclaimed their strength.
"Hehe....hahaha." Karma laughed."This will be fun."
Karma went up to one guy and touched his shoulder.
"Wh" the guy began to say, but Karma punched him in the face. The guy fell and blacked out.
"You b.a.s.t.a.r.d!" said another guy. The guy tried to punch Karma but Karma was too fast. Karma dodges and punch the guy in his jugular. The guy screamed in pain.
"Hahaha! Suffer! Scream!" Karma laughed." Your pain is like music to my ears."
Karma continued to beat the c.r.a.p out the guys. Shirohana laid there, horrified at the scene in front of her.
It wasn"t a fight. It was a one sided ma.s.sacre. Since the adrenaline was still strong, he continued to beat them even though they were in no condition to fight.
Karma stood in the middle of the bodies, laughing. When Karma calmed down, he looked with horror at his surroundings.
*No....No! Why can"t I control this? Why am I like this?*
Karma sat near a wall and cried. He was frustrated and scared of his psychotic side.
Shirohana, who was afraid, looked with worry. The boy who was a demon a second ago was now just a regular guy.
*He"s scary... but he saved me...*
The sounds of the night echoes through the city.
