School Days

By: Takerus Lost Angel

 

Hikari took a deep breath. This was it; her entire teaching career lay on the line. She held in her hands the final results of the exams that were only taken a week before. She fingered the brown envelope in her hand. She was excited and nervous at the same time; she had a feeling that something bad was going to happen. She just hoped that the results were not that.

 

The conversation she had with Akiyuki the day before came flooding into her head.

 

“Akiyuki may I speak with you after class today?” Hikari questioned after the student returned from lunch.

 

The boy looked at the teacher skeptically for a moment. “Before anyone says anything, let me just say I didn't do it!”

 

The young teacher chuckled. “You are not in trouble.”

 

She managed to hold him down long enough to discover why he constantly ended up in fights. It turned out that the boys; he and Meitetsu fought with at the dance (Tabito and Daiki); had been giving him trouble long before that event. Apparently Akiyuki's brother Miho got into a fight over something, he was not even sure of. He said that for no apparent reason Tabito and Daaiki began attacking him. When he asked his brother what happened for them to act this way, he told him to buzz off.

 

Hikari was jostled out of her thoughts when the door slid open and her students walked towards their desks. She smiled brightly at them; this was going to be one of her last days with the kids. They would be off to high school and she would have a new class eventually.

 

“Good morning Takashi-sensei!” Tsukimi chirped as she skipped into the room.

 

“Good morning Tsukimi.” She said simply.

 

“So, Takashi do you have the results?” Meitetsu questioned while taking a seat on his desk.

 

Hikari eyed him threateningly. “Your chair is behind your desk.” He smiled sheepishly and sat down slowly. “Before I give out your results I wanted to take a moment to talk to you guys.” She stood from behind her desk and walked towards the small desks. “If there was every an award for the most strong-headed, loud-mouthed, trouble making class, you would win.”

 

“Ah Takashi, stop with the flattery, you're embarrassing me.” Fukashi shot dryly.

 

She rolled her eyes. “Not only were you all of those, but you were all extremely intelligent, warm-hearted, and sincere. I am extremely proud of how all of you changed and strengthened as a whole.” She sniffed tears threatening to fall. “I am going to miss all of you.” The young teacher began to blubber. “I know that all of you are going to amount to such wonderful things, do not let people tell you that you cannot, because I know you can.” The teacher broke down into full tears.

 

Asuna rose from her chair and rubbed her teacher's shoulders gingerly. “Shhh, it's ok. We'll come and visit you.” Hikari sniffed.

 

“Come on, this is a happy time! You finally get rid of us.” Reiji joked; this only caused the teacher to cry more.

 

“Takashi, stops your blubbering, and tells us our results!” Akiyuki barked, breaking the disgruntled teacher out of her slump.

 

She sniffed, while shooting daggers at the teen. “Thanks for ruining a heart aching farewell.” She sarcastically replied. He returned a devilish smile. The teacher picked up the brown envelope and opened it. Inside were ten small envelopes, each with a students name on it. She started pulling the envelopes out and handing them to the students.

 

The door slammed open interrupting the long awaited process. Hikari spoke harshly. “Obviously no one has taught you any manners. You are supposed to knock before barging into someone's classroom.” She turned her attention towards the door.

 

Standing in the doorway was Tabito glaring at her. “You are Tabito, right?” The teen continued staring at the teacher. Hikari's stomach plummeted. She knew something was wrong. She approached the student. “Can I help you with anything?” She continued to advance on the teen.

 

“DON'T COME ANY CLOSER!” He screamed. The teen was shaking uncontrollably.

 

“Are you okay? Do you need help?” The teacher questioned, earning confused stares from her students.

 

The teen's hand rose slowly, he held a gun in his hand and pointed it at Hikari. She froze in her spot. She was scared not only for herself, but for the rest of her class. She took a deep breathe. The room around her was a blur, she was not sure if it was the tears threatening to fall or from shock. “Give me the gun.” She coaxed, afraid of what might happen.

 

“Shut-up!” He screeched. “I've had it with you interfering.”

 

She gulped, her throat tightened. She was not sure if she was going to be able find her voice. “I am sure we can talk this through.” She squeaked, feeling the tension rise in the class.

 

“NO!” He screamed. “Since you've come you've interfered.” He pointed the gun towards the brown spiky hair boy, while addressing the teacher. “You've continually gotten in the way of me finishing his wishes.”

 

Hikari whimpered. “Who's wishes?”

 

The boy moved the gun and repositioned it so it pointed at her. He shook the gun angrily at Hikari. “My brothers, you idiot!”

 

Hikari shook her head confusedly. “I…I…what?” She blurted out, losing the ability to formulate a sentence.

 

“That asshole!” He pointed the weapon towards Akiyuki. “His stupid ass brother and my brother were friends. His messed up brother decided to pick a fight with my brother. The two of them threw punches and kicks. He beat my brother to a bloody pulp.”

 

Hikari looked towards Akiyuki; who looked at the other teen stupidly. “What the hell are you talking about?”

 

“My brother said that he wished that your family went through the same pain that he went through.”

 

Hikari slowly approached the teen. “I am pretty sure your brother did not mean the things he did.” She was not sure where her courage came from, but she knew she had to do anything she could to stop what potentially could occur.

 

The boy whipped around and faced the approaching teacher. “STOP!” Hikari froze on the spot, not realizing the commotion that was occurring at the back of the classroom.

 

Akiyuki quietly stood from his seat; and advanced towards the front. Meitetsu grabbed his friend's shirt in protest. “What the hell are you thinking?” He whispered.

 

Akiyuki pushed him off and continued to move forward. “Hey stupid! Back off!” He yelled, causing Tabito to jump back.

 

Tabito shot him a dirty look. “Stay where you are or she gets it!” He pointed the gun at Hikari threateningly.

 

“You don't want her, your problem is with me!” He retaliated, continuing to move forward.

 

“Akiyuki!” Hikari hissed. “Stay where you are!”

 

Akiyuki shook his head and grinned. “I'm not afraid. He doesn't have the balls to shoot.”

 

The opposing teen narrowed his eyes in anger. He straightened his arm, his finger clamped down on the trigger. A loud popping noise echoed through the classroom. Hikari froze in shock as something whizzed past her ear; shattering the window in the process. She collapsed to the floor grasping her chest as she inhaled sharply. Her whole life flashed before her eyes.

 

Akiyuki snickered. “You missed.” Hikari glared at the teen angrily.

 

“That was a warning shot.” Tabito snarled.

 

“Whatever…” Akiyuki shrugged as he advanced on Tabito.

 

“You don't care if she dies?” He asked cockily as he pointed the gun at the teacher again.

 

“Why would I care? It's not like it would hurt my family in anyway.” Akiyuki pointed out flatly.

 

Tabito smirked all knowingly. “That is true.” He rearranged the gun and pointed it at Akiyuki. He bit his lip and closed his eyes. “Say bye bye.”

 

Hikari screamed in panic. “Noooooo!” Once again a loud popping noise echoed through the class. Hikari looked towards Akiyuki, he smiled at her before crumpling to the ground into crimson blood.

 

Hikari rushed towards the small boy and grasped his shoulders gently. Akiyuki's lips trembled as he inhaled deeply, gasping for air. Hikari began to cry. “Don't worry Takashi, I'm not scared.” He coughed sickly. “Tell my mom I love her and tell her not to cry.” He gasped for air. “ And one more thing, thank-you. Thank-you for everything.” He coughed again, his eyes closed in the process.

 

“Akiyuki…” The teacher whispered, shaking him gently. “Akiyuki!” She screamed, burying her head in his hair.

 

Meitetsu leapt from his chair. “What the hell did you do?”

 

Tabito looked like he was going to be sick. “I…I…didn't mean too. I only wanted for him to feel pain.” He said shakily, his face paling. He dropped the gun he was holding and collapsed to the ground. He buried his head in his hands and wept.

 

The class stood in shock; some were crying, some were shaking, some yelled in frustration. It was not fair. It just was not fair.

 

Author's Notes: So there you have it, not the greatest piece of work if I say so myself. It was actually a very challenging chapter to write! In all the years of writing and in all of my stories I've written there is only one other story that I have written when something devastating like this has happened. So is he alive, or is he dead? Only the next chapter will tell! Until next time, keep writing!
