Girls are weird creatures(Open)

[Shuya Katsumoto]

“Don’t…”

Shuya’s eyes were cold as he simply cut off Kayoko before she could even start speaking. The two of them had been quietly walking through the crowded halls of Hircine High after Kayoko had started about Shuya’s involvements with Loire’s goal. Shuya had mostly ignored her and when she had tried to start discussing it again, he had made a quick ending to it. Kayoko kept up with Shuya’s fast pace but her eyes showed stubbornness, she wasn’t going to give up so easy. Though she kept her tongue Shuya could feel her eyes pierce through his head, reading his mind. She had always known trying to talk sense into his head was useless, but still she never have up.

Suddenly, Kayoko grabbed Shuya with a force Shuya had never expected from her and he was soon turned towards her, his eyes meeting hers as they faced one another.

”Alright, this is bullshit Katsumoto! When are you going to stop this foolishness of yours and take a moment to think this through carefully!” Kayoko’s voice wasn’t loud but every word was emphasized strongly and Shuya knew he couldn’t walk away from it any longer but still, he didn’t feel this was the place to discuss this.

“Since when do you call me by my last name? And still, Kayoko, not here, not now… You know I’ve made up my mind…”

Shuya wanted to turn around again but Kayoko hadn’t let go yet. Of course, he could always push and drag her all the way through the hall, but in all honesty, Kayoko was one of the few people who could actually stop Shuya and question him without having to worry about any hostility… well, hostile deeds, not words…

”Then why can’t you let me any closer? Why do you want to keep me out of this, Shuya? Can it be that you truly care about someone for once?” Her eyes weren’t as stubborn as before, they had now turned calm and questioning, though Shuya could sense a small tad of pleading in them too. Shuya however slowly rose his eyebrow before calmly responding to her.

“Perhaps… but that doesn’t change a goddamn thing… I tell you now, Kayoko… don’t get yourself too involved with this… with me… It can only bring you harm and I cannot protect you…”

”Yes you can!” The roaming noise coming from the other students seemed to slowly fade out as Kayoko had suddenly started shouting at Shuya. Shuya himself was also confused by the sudden outburst of Kayoko. What was she on about?

“Kayoko…”

”No! Enough! Are you simply pretending to be blind or do you truly not see!? I cannot protect you, but I don’t want to lose you either! I don’t want you to get hurt Shuya! Shuya… I love you goddamnit!”

Shuya’s eyes still showed slight confusion but he quickly recovered as his blank stare reappeared on his face again. His voice now stern, his words spoken slowly.

“Kayoko… Love someone else…”

Small tears started to drip down Kayoko’s cheeks and eventually fall down onto the floor. Her hand seemed to drop away from Shuya’s arm for an eternity, but she suddenly snapped out of it and screamed at Shuya once more before she ran away, as far away from Shuya as she could:

”You truly still are a senseless bastard! And here I thought you actually changed!”

Shuya’s eyes followed her run out the hallway but he didn’t make any motion of following her. He knew he had hurt her, but it was the only way he could protect her… if he could protect her at all that is. She still didn’t understand… he couldn’t back out now… Turning towards the direction he had been walking in, he now continued his walk. Most students were staring at him but the silence didn’t last for long. Shuya clenched his fists as people started to mumble again, but some eyes were still staring at him.

“What the fuck are you looking at!” he screamed at a fellow senior who was openly staring at him, not trying to hide it or anything. The guy however hadn’t expected Shuya’s sudden burst of anger and stumbled back against the lockers. Shuya’s eyes turned away from him again as he continued his walk.

‘Bunch of losers…’

[Kit Lee]

OOC: Should this not work out in response to your post and you want me to modify it, PM me and I will modify or delete if you want.

Kit was preparing to head to the cafeteria when he saw a scene in the hallways. It appeared that the girl wanted to persuade the boy to let her be closer to him, while the boy was seemingly cold to her, telling her to love someone else. That statement shot through her emotions, shredding them up, and disposed of them in a wastebin of apathy as the girl ran off while the boy just stood there, watching her go. However, once she was out of sight, the boy showed his feelings as he shouted "What the fuck are you looking at!" to another student who was staring at him.

Kit decided to talk to the boy, though he may be in a state of rage and decide to throw a punch at him, but he felt the boy should not make such a mistake. "Hey, Shuya," Kit said, addressing the boy as the girl had addressed him. "I think you making a mistake."

Kit had many regrets in his life. He regretted starting trouble back when he was young, he regretted punching a rival crew member so hard that he had to be hospitalized for a month due to bone fractures, and he also regretted eating the three day old sandwich last night, as it caused him to stay up all night on the toilet. However, girl problems were one of his greatest regrets. It wasn't like Kit was a pimp and had gone through many girlfriends but rather the exact opposite. Kit had dated once, and once was enough to give him the experience many got after going through several relationships. His relationship had lasted several years and only ended with Kit's stupidity.

Should Shuya not stand around and listen, Kit would follow him while speaking his mind. Should Shyua assault Kit, he would still say it while being attacked. He would say: "My name Kit, not want start trouble, not want fight. Just want give you advice. Don't let her go. Once she gone, may never return. You say you want protect her but how you do that if you not with her? You trust someone else care for her instead of yourself? You say if you let her close, you bring her harm. You think she won't get harm if she with someone else? What if she start love someone much more dangerous? Uh sorry, I know not my business, is your own private issue, but think about it." Kit would say, while the students in the hall started crowding around, as if they had nothing more interesting in their life than the current scene that seemingly appears to be pulled from the script of a badly written drama. Some students would smirk and laugh at Kit's broken english but Kit would pay them no attention, as he didn't want the boy making a mistake he may really regret.

[Shuya Katsumoto]

Shuya continued his pace until he was suddenly addressed by his first name. There were only a select few who knew they were respected enough by Shuya to actually call him by his first name. Shuya looked at who spoke to him but noticed it was some stranger who probably caught his name when Kayoko had addressed him. Pissed off by the single fact, Shuya wanted to slam his fist into the face of the stranger, but luckily he was calm enough to keep his wits about. Instead, he turned his back on the stranger and continued to walk away. However, it seemed the student was like a bee, following Shuya as if Shuya’s ass was covered in honey.

"My name Kit, not want start trouble, not want fight. Just want give you advice. Don't let her go.”

‘Enough…’

Shuya suddenly turned around and slammed his fist towards the face of the youngster behind him, however he stopped it right before it would struck the face of the student. The student didn’t move, though he did fell silent. Shuya’s aggressive tone once more filled the room as he now sneered at the student in front of him.

“First of all, little cat, the name is Katsumoto, you’d do well to remember! Second of all, why the hell do you think I would require the advice of someone like you? Hell I don’t even know who the fuck you are! So why don’t you go and do what’s best for you, avoid me?”

Shuya turned around again and continued to walk away again. If the student followed him and tried to give him any more advice on the matter, Shuya would cut him short within a second, perhaps even hit him this time. However, if the student had anything else on his mind to say or do, Shuya would at least hear him out while he walked away. Perhaps he would say nothing, perhaps he would respond, whatever the case, he didn’t require any lecturing from a 17 or 18 year old kid who apparently hadn’t learned anything about this school yet. Talking to strangers was a bad thing to do in the first place, lecturing people who had in fact chosen their words with great care was simply suicide. If Shuya hadn’t understood the system better then this ‘Kit’ guy, he would’ve probably assaulted him. However, for now, it was best not to get any more attention from anyone… especially not from pillars.

Kit stopped talking as Shuya threw a fist towards his face. Expecting such a strong response from the boy as he did not seem to have much compassion for the girl that told him that she loved him in public, Kit did not bother to move or dodge it as it would result to further pursuit should Shuya want to vent out his anger on him. However, Kit was surprised that Shuya did not carry out his attack. As expected, why would a stranger listen to his advice? Not to mention, it was apparently a bad idea to call Shuya by his first name.

"Sorry, Katsumoto." Kit would remember his name. "I no mean any disrespect. But just because you not know who I am, does not invalidate my words. You do not know the authors of books, yet their words may be valid. Friends are only strangers in beginning. If want to hear me out, meet after school at courtyard. If want to give me beating somewhere outside school so no trouble, that fine as well." Kit said as Shuya continued his walk away. Kit judged that Shuya would most probably not want to listen to his words, but he just hoped the idea would get to his mind. Some influence works better than no influence. At any rate, Kit knew the toll his words would have upon the mass population of the school. Most probably violence. But at most, they could only damage Kit physically. None had the power to get him emotionally. And it appeared that this boy was destroyed on the inside. Why should I be helping him, Kit had thought before he had approached Shuya. He had wished someone helped him back then, that was why. And suffering verbal lashes and physical pain would only be a temporary moment, a fleeting pain, whereas Shuya would have a scar forever, should he make the wrong decision.

This school was filled with those with troubles. Kit was not one to help everyone in need, but he would not stand down should something occur before his eyes as his conscience would bite at him and rip him apart.

[Shuya Katsumoto]

“Boy” Shuya responded, as the younger student apologized to Shuya and yet tried to go on with making his point, “It’s not hard for me to tell you are new to this school, am I wrong? First of all, you may think you are correct, but the most important lesson in speech is that you never forget that whatever you tell others, also goes for yourself. For one, you don’t know shit about who I am or why I act the way I do… don’t take me for a fool… As for your little comment about strangers becoming friends, I don’t need friends. All I need is strangers, got that?”

Shuya had no interest in hearing this student out at all. He had simply calmed down and given Kit a more decent answer, simply because the kid was obviously new to this school. However, if Kit would decide to push this matter even further, Shuya would no longer remain calm. If the boy would decide to follow him and question him about other stuff, so be it… But Shuya had no time to be lectured by a person who didn’t even know the facts of this school…

OOC: Short, late, I know. Sorry about that…

[Kit Lee]

OOC: It's alright, I'm not sure if theres much of a direction this thread can go towards though

Shuya seemed to be getting aggravated at Kit. Though Kit had the best intentions, Shuya seemed unwilling to pay even a shred of consideration into his words. Kit was not going to nag Shuya anymore, as he knew he already did more than enough to satisfy what his conscience said he should be doing. Not to mention, why should Kit put any more effort into this boy who thought being new in the school had anything to do with what he said, who added more ice to the wall between them? Kit decided he would let Shuya be. Perhaps they would meet some other time, when Shuya would not be so cold. This was not likely though from the reaction Shuya had given him. However, Kit believed Shuya was still wrong in his concepts of rejecting strangers. Good advice did not have to be given by one who was knowledgable of the person who was receiving the advice. Concepts and ideas remain the same. Kit would not continue his argument though. With that, he stood in the hallway, watching Shuya take some steps in what Kit saw as the wrong path.
