8 A surprise

Masaru walked in the direction of his house as he passed through one of the alleys where he always passes, some boys came out, who began to surround him, he felt that something bad was going to happen because of how the boys appeared.

_What do you want- Masaru said annoyed, wanting them to leave to continue on their way

_he will be the first to fall- all the boys who had him surrounded attacked Masaru who immediately just defended himself

Each blow that was thrown at him was dodged or blocked by Masaru, one of those who were just hoping that there was an opportunity to attack while Masaru continued to block most of the blows, some without success, being concentrated enough that he did not realize that one of They approached him giving him a big blow to the stomach, taking out the air and making him fall to his knees, he could only see one person approaching before Masaru was knocked unconscious by the blow that two boys gave him, they carried Masaru to take him away without anyone noticing .

The next morning all the students entered the school, among them were yutaka and masahiro who were waiting for their other classmates as couples to enter the school

_good morning- said shou arriving with kazuya and isamu the two boys just returned the greeting

The others began to arrive with the waste of time, they waited for Masaru who did not arrive and it was time to go in, they waited for him a while more, at the end of time they could no longer wait for him since the bell had rung for the students to enter their classrooms began to walk towards the classroom.

_why not open arrived Masaru

_Maybe he returned to his old habit- commented Masahiro they were already near the classroom

_I do not think because if he returned to that we would have noticed- yutaka said he stopped for a moment he began to remember how his friend acted any indication that could help them

_I thought he had left early, why didn't I see him when he came- said Masahiro because when he got home to change and go for the useful items that they had during the day, he hadn't seen him, the others just paid attention to what his friend said.

Their partners did not know what they were talking about, the elders were going to ask them, when they entered the room they decided to ask at the break, everyone went to their respective places to start the class.

Elsewhere

A boy was waking up when he was fully awake he realized that he was tied up and gagged to a chair he inspected the room a bit all the lights were off except the one above him his attention went to the door opening and entering a person who I couldn't recognize it from the dark

_It's good that you woke up masaru- approaching the boy and taking the mordasa away

_where I am and who are you- the boy approached seeing who it was- what are you planning Kenzo

Kenzo got closer to masaru when he had him he looked at him with distaste he wanted to free himself to hit him until he got tired the door opened again two other boys entered the room kenzo separated from masaru

_What I want is to invite you to the fight that will be held, of course I already sent the invitations to your friends if they win they will get your freedom- I say it with a big smile that Masaru wanted to erase it with blows- do not let those who were Kenzo came out of the room at the door

At school

The departure time had arrived, the boys went to their lockers to collect their things, when Yutaka arrived, Masahiro and Isamu saw a letter in their lockers, they took it and began to read it

I invite you to the fight that will take place today behind the school. We wait for you at 9:00 pm.

att. Kenzo

Postscript: you must participate to be able to return your dear friend masaru

When the boys finished reading the note they were surprised by what it said, they already knew why their friend had not come to school, the bad thing is that they would have to participate in a fight to save their friend and they had no other option, Put their promise aside and accept that their partners will hate them to rescue Masaru from Kenzo and whoever was behind him.

_What's wrong with you guys- they left their thoughts when they heard that they spoke to them

_We don't have to go- said yutaka, his friends agreed with what I said

_We forgot we have to do something- the boys quickly grabbed their things and left leaving their partners in the lockers

_what will happen to them- the others denied

_I don't know but look, they threw this paper- mentioned Yutaka who made him read what he said, everyone was surprised by what the paper had written

_they know what we have to do- the boys attended

_I do not want to return to how we were in the past- everyone looked sadly at Kazuya

_We have no choice- said Shou- we have to save Masaru- who looked sad and decided to rescue his partner from the people who had him

_ see you before nine o'clock at the school entrance- kiyashi mentioned to his classmates who attended

As they all agreed, they gathered their things and left to prepare everything to present themselves to the event, at night all the guests to the event were present, only the group of yutaka was missing, who arrived at the time stated in the note.

_How good they are- with great joy on their faces

_we were not going to leave a friend with you- the others attended

_good as we are all going to start- he turned to start walking followed by yutaka and his friends towards the place where the event would take place but they stopped when they heard a voice

_We are missing for the event- the four people came out of the shadows when they saw them, everyone present was surprised.
