Chapter 44: D E E D S

"Callie obliged and put her phone down standing up. They would go onto the dance floor and start dancing in the crowd like everyone else." Nakamura continued. Callie would be covering her face from the embarrassment. "Viktor would then tell Callie he has something to show her… Viktor then took her into the kitchen and Callie would ask him what he wanted to show her. When suddenly… Viktor would kiss Callie by surprise…" Yuki would be in shock. Yuki would clench his fist. "It was my day too… And my girlfriend decided to make out with some rich prince from the 12th district…" Yuki said. Yuki would walk over to Callie. "I wonder what else he did to you Callie…" Yuki said with his eyes covered by his bangs with shadows. Yuki would roll up his sleeve taking off a bracelet with his and Callie's initials on it and drop it in Callie's palm. "What else did he do to you, Callie!? What!? Did he-" Yuki said before Nakamura would interrupt him.

"Yuki! That's enough… You've broken each other's hearts enough…" Nakamura said. Yuki would exhale. "You can help if you want… I'm not forcing you… I doubt you still want to after what just happened." Yuki said. Callie would clench her fist. "You've never been much of a fighter anyway's Callie…" Yuki said. Callie would stand up looking down so nobody could see her face. "Go back to your new boyfriend Callie… You'll be safer there anyways…" Yuki said. Callie would look up in shock with tears falling down her cheeks. "G-Goodbye, Yuki…" Callie said. It would be silent as she walked through the portal with her soldiers. The portal would close behind them. Yuki would sit down on a tree stump. Nakamura and Kaki would sit down next to him. Yuki would look at the tattoo on the back of his hand under his thumb on his right hand. A black dagger would form in his left hand. He would cut the tattoo with an 'X' shaped cut. Yuki would put the knife handle in his mouth and grab a bottle of cream and a roll of bandages from a pouch on the back of his pants.

"Who gave you that? That medicine is not from here…" Nakamura asked. Yuki would put some cream on the wound and then cover his hand with bandages. He would grab the knife from his mouth. "A friend gave it to me before he left…" Yuki said. Nakamura would smile. "I'm headed to sleep, Wake me up when Charlie and Akuga have finished." Yuki said. Nakamura would nod. Yuki would sit down behind a tree. He would put his right hand on his stomach and close his eyes. He would open his eyes in his old bedroom at his moms house. "Yuki! Get up, your first day of highschool is today!" Reo shouted from down stairs. Yuki would sit up confused. "Didn't I just go to sleep behind a tree?" Yuki said. He would look around the bedroom. "First day of highschool? I'm 19 years old arent I?" Yuki continued. He would walk over to his closet and open it. "Uh why are there so many suits…" Yuki thought. Reo would then open the door. "Yuki! Get your suit on and get going! Your father is waiting for you downstairs…" Reo said. Yuki would nod.

Yuki would put a black suit on and walk out of his room into the hallway. Yuki would walk into the restroom and look at the mirror. Yuki would be 15 years old. "What the hell? Why am I 15 again?" Yuki asked. Yuki would pat his hair down making it lay down. He would brush his teeth. He would look down at the sink. "Skin care?? Exfoliator??" Yuki thought. He would grab it and open the bottle. A few minutes later Yuki would walk out of the room. "Yuki!" Yelled a familiar voice. Yuki would look around confused. "Yuki!!" Nakamura yelled. Yuki would open his eyes sitting under the tree. "Why'd you wake me?" Yuki asked. Nakamura would look at Yuki confused. "It's the next day Yuki…" Nakamura said. Yuki would look at Nakamura confused aswell. "But I was only asleep for 10 minutes…" Yuki said. Nakamura would chuckle. "You were asleep for 15 hours dork…" Nakamura said. She would smile and stand up. "Come on, Akuga and Charlie have finished. Yuki nodded and got up. Yuki would stretch. "Alright, lets get ready…"
