Chapter VII
"Okay class, that would be all for today and see you tomorrow. You may now go."
The teacher dismiss and leave the room with his things.
Keiji hurriedly pack his things and he was about to leave but got stop by Kiara grabbing the back of his collar.
"Where do you think you are going, hmm, dear brother?"
Kiara ask, emphasizing the dear brother with a menacing voice.
"I-I-I'm g-g-g-going to the c-club f-first!"
Keiji respond.
"Really?"
Kiara smile.
"Y-Yeah, that's r-right. S-So c-could you, u-um, let m-me go?"
Keiji turn around to smile at Kiara, but his smile disappeared when he saw her holding a pitiful rabbit that's sobbing quietly.
"H-Hey, K-Kiara! N-No matter how m-much you a-a-a-are angry, y-you can't treat-
"I don't care."
Kiara cut Keiji off before grabbing his ear and drag him to their club together with Aoi who's being hold by Kiara on the wrist tightly.
"Please help me…"
Aoi and Keiji sob as she and they got drag to Art Club while the students that they pass by could only watch them getting drag.
"Ah, they're at it again."
"I feel sorry for Akishira-san and Keiji-san."
"That's why you never should mess with Kiara, or else you're a dead-meat."
"They're fun to watch, but I hope that none of them is going to get hurt badly."
The students laugh among themselves.
Nite only watch their classmates laughing at the scene that just happened earlier.
'They're energetic as usual.'
He thought before grabbing his bag and also left the room.
As he head to the door, he could notice some eyes on him and could heard whispers from the students.
"What club do you think he will join?"
"Will he be even able to join a club?"
"Ha! As if someone's going to accept him!"
He ignore the whispers and left the room.
'I don't give a shit about your side comments. Instead of wasting your energy at talking shit about someone, why don't you just use it to do something good? So that you it wouldn't be a waste.'
Nite sigh before fishing out his phone from his pocket and after some few taps, he hold it by his ear, still walking.
He stop when he's on an empty hallway and when he heard someone speak from the other line.
"You finally pick it up."
Nite utter, annoyance is visible on his voice and a feminine voice was heard from the other line.
"Yeah, I've been calling you since last night and I sent countless mails, yet you never replied to any one of them. And you just pick up now."
He complained as he run his fingers on his black locks.
"As if that would happen. I just want to ask about mother's condition."
He stated before resume walking again.
"I see, that's good then. Keep taking care of her."
He said and move his phone away from his ear, but halted for a moment before bringing it up to his ear and speak.
"Tell my mother that not to worry about my solitary anymore."
Nite said as a small smile made its way into his lips and a dramatic gasp was heard from the other line causing him to roll his eyes.
"Not like that, idiot. Friends, I'm talking about friends."
He respond, annoyed.
"Yeah, that's right. Shut it, you're annoying."
A loud laugh was heard from the other side of the line and Nite felt more annoyed.
"I'll ending the call now, bye. Take care of mother."
Nite uttered before ending the call and stuff his phone inside his pocket.
'What an annoying sister… Making fuss just because I told her that I'm going to have friends, such an annoying big sister.'
He heave out a heavy sigh and resume walking, but just after a couple of steps, he halted when some students stop in front of him.
"Yo, if it's not Nuwamari, the loner of Inuzaki Academy."
One of them pointed out and the rest of them laugh.
They laugh at him while he only look at them with a blank expression. After a couple of minutes, they stop laughing and scoff at him.
"I'll leave you alone since I'm currently in a good mood."
He said, looking down on him since he's quite taller than Nite before bumping his shoulder with his followed by the rest.
Nite didn't said anything and look at their disappearing form. He didn't utter a word and face blank, but his eyes swarming with rage and hatred in them before resume his walking.
'Wait for your time, scumbags.'
++++++++++
"Excuse me."
Nite announce as his slide the door of the Art Club open.
He blink his eyes a couple of times at the sight before him. Keiji kneeling down on a handful of seeds and Aoi sitting seiza style, the two of them sobbing a little.
"What's happening?"
Nite ask and Keiji and Aoi look up at Nite with teary eyes.
"Ah, don't worry about them, they're just being punished a little."
Nite turn to his side and saw Kiara taking out some things from the shelves.
"Ah, don't take it out, don't touch it!"
Aoi cry but immediately shut her mouth when Kiara glare at her and whimpers escapes from her lips.
'I feel sorry for the two, especially the male Izunari… I wonder what they did for making them suffer a punishment like that.'
"So, Nuwamari."
Nite tore his eyes away from the two and turn to face Kiara who has closed the shelves as she finish taking out some things.
"Are you here about the club or something else?"
Kiara ask as she open the cookie jar and pour all of its chocolate cookies on a container causing more whimpers to leave Aoi's lips and sobs more.
"Yeah, I'm submitting my application form."
Nite ask, sweatingdrop at how Aoi tries to bite her lower lips to stop herself from crying.
"Okay then, give it to me."
Nite take out a piece of paper from his bag and hand it to Kiara who just finished stuffing the things that she remove from the shelves into a big duffle bag.
Kiara take it from his grasp and went to take a stamp from a shelf and stamp it before signing it.
"Welcome to the Art Club, rather, the Hell Club."
