CHAPTER 9: The Wind of the Storm
Ohno just smiled as Sho finally recognized him. “I’ve heard that you beat up those thugs from Eita High,” he said. He laughed as he applauded. “I knew you could do it.” He covered his forehead in disappointment. “Can’t believe I missed the fun. I’m so envious of you!”
“Why are you doing this, Ohno-san?” he asked. “I did not want to fight.”
“But if you did not fight, you’ll be the one who’ll get killed by those students,” the president said as though it was the simplest fact in the world. “It’s just… our instinct, you know,” he said as he motioned his wheelchair to go nearer Sho. He looked at Sho’s sympathetic face as he did so. “Hey, don’t look at me like that! I can perfectly stand!” He tried to get up. “The nurse just told me to…” he fell back because his knees could not carry him. “Dammit!”
“Ohno-san…”
“By the way, I want to congratulate you for beating my kings. Kaze and I chose them… the best among the rest…” He looked at the ceiling. “Kaze was the one who took on Aiba-chan. Crazy fight. The guy came back, bloody as Aiba followed him like a new cat. I recruited Jun from his special hideout in Shibuya. He’s so full of himself but I like that fierceness. Toma is such a kind person though his speed is really amazing so I had to beat him to make him join us. I did not waste time; he’s also loyal as well. And Pi is really special. We had to rescue him from the syndicate who used his powers. I know that in his normal state, he wouldn’t be able to fight like us. But his other side was really dangerous. Kaze knows about that. I know about that. Sorry,” he apologized, referring to the nightmarish fight he had with the second king. “I also think it was unfair to use past nightmares to fight.”
Ohno snorted. “But Kaze… Don’t underestimate him.” He laughed, trying to hide his tears as he remembered their fights together. “Ah! I miss fighting alongside him. He’s very strong, seriously strong.”
Sho could see, through the small lights coming from the room, that Ohno’s eyes were watery. He was surprised when the leader got up from the wheelchair and slowly walked towards him, using the walls for support. “Ne, Sakurai. You’re next opponent would be Kaze.”
“I don’t want to fight anyone! Not Kaze-san!” he said. “I wanted to change. I don’t want to fight anymore. I lost my sister due to fighting! I can’t…” He was stopped when Ohno punched him on the face. The action made the smaller man lose his balance and fall on the ground.
As Sho helped him up, he said, “Do you think you’re the only one who lost something? That’s so selfish.” He broke off and looked at the window. “When he was a high school student, a yakuza gang took his sister away, attempting to sell her off to some black market. You do know the story, right?” he asked. “He was able to beat up everyone and defeat them until he reached the room where their leader was and with her sister.
“Kaze fought against this leader courageously, even though he was older, stronger, and more powerful. This jerk was being unfair as they promised to have a fist fight, and this asshole took out his katana in attempts to defeat him. However, his sister took the attack, killing her instantly.” Sho was surprised with what he had learned. “The rumors said he was able to save her and the gang leader paid him a handsome amount,” Ohno shook his head. “That’s not entirely true. His sister dead, he went berserk and took the sword, ready to kill him. They fought with each other using real swords! Very amazing.
“In the end, the old guy lost, almost losing his arm in the process. He paid Kaze to shut up about the loss of the gang against a middle high school student. That’s what happened.”
Ohno turned again to Sho, putting both hands on his shoulders. “Don’t hesitate, Sakurai. Using your past to not fight, that’s cowardice.”
“But I’m trying to move forward now.”
“But the only way forward is Kaze,” Ohno said with a soft smile. “He would be really in front of you, no matter what detours you would take. Going to Yano High with that strength, eventually, that means you would really face him. And now’s the time.”
“Ohno-san,” Sho started. He was hesitating.
“Sakurai, do you think that after your sister you won’t have something to protect anymore? Think!” He patted his shoulders again. “Kaze will wait for you two days from now,” he said. He tried to walk back to his wheelchair but pain suddenly went to his body, making him clutch his chest. He tried to act normal but he fell on the floor, his face contorted.
“Ohno-san!” Sho called out. He went out of the area to look for a nurse to assist him.
When Ohno woke up, it was already light outside. “Leader,” Nino called out. He was beside him the whole evening, not sleeping. The dark bags were obvious under his eyes.
“Where am I?” he asked. Nino held his hand. “What are you doing there, Kaze?”
“I thought I’m going to lose you,” he said. Ohno did not know that he knew about his condition already.
The leader’s face softened because of the concern his second-in-command was showing. But he had to pull his hand away. “It’s not that I’m going to die, anyway,” he said with a big grin on his face. He tried to sit up but he was too weak to do that.
“Don’t force yourself!” Nino scolded.
“Fine,” Ohno replied with a pout.
Nino did not go to school that day. He just spent it with Ohno, accompanying him, pushing his wheelchair for him, and eating meals with him. “You have more responsibilities in school,” Ohno kept on reminding him.
“You’ve been thinking too much of Yano High,” the vice president said. “You’re already here in the hospital yet you still think of the school.”
“Of course, idiot, I’m the president!” he said, laughing. They were both watching the sunset through the blinds. “Nino…”
Nino was surprised that the leader referred him using his given name. He just stared at the silhouette of his back. “What did you call me?”
Ohno turned around. “Nino. When was the last time someone called you by that nickname?”
“I…”
The president smiled again. “Hey, don’t hesitate! Have I not removed hesitation to you when you fight?” He faced the window again. “Sunsets… I’ve always watched them with you up there, at the top of Yano High. That felt so good. Nino, do you know what the most important thing is for me?”
“Yano High,” he replied sadly.
“It’s even deeper than that,” he replied. “I wouldn’t love Yano High itself. There is something… something more important that motivated me to protect Yano High.”
“Ohno-san…” Nino said, as though it was the first word he had spoken after a long sleep. “I would like to stand beside you until graduation… no… until the end…” he said further.
“Then crush Sakurai,” Ohno replied, changing into his fierce composure. “Don’t make things more difficult for me.”
“Hai,” the vice president said before turning around and leaving the room.
“That is you, Nino. I wanted to protect you,” he whispered as his comrade closed the door.

“Ninomiya!” a short blond haired man called him as he was praying in front of the temple at the hill. He turned around. A man wearing his school jacketon top of his shoulders not bothering to wear his sleeves, wearing a hoop earring on the left ear, and with chains hanging on the right side of his pants was in front of him. But he was wearing the school badge so he’s definitely from Yano High.
“Who are you, and what do you need?” he asked. He took his bag and started to walk away.
The man just sat under the tree. “I’m Ohno Satoshi.”
“You’re the cocky young guy who beat up those students from Eita, right?” Nino asked. “And you also overthrew the recent leading fight club.”
Ohno nodded. “I’m bored. Let’s fight.”
“I do not fight,” Nino said as he walked ahead.
“Ninomiya, don’t you hesitate!” Ohno shouted behind him. “You have the strength, why don’t you fight?”
Nino stopped. “Why? Why do I fight?” He faced the other man. “I don’t know anymore, Ohno. I don’t have a reason. I already ruined myself through fighting.”
“I’ll knock some sense to you,” Ohno said as he ran towards Nino, giving him an attack.
The fight ended when Ohno was able to sit on top of Nino and give him several punches. The younger man gave a good fight. It really seemed the fighting was his instinct. The victor stood up and held out his hand. “Kaze…”
“Eh…?” Nino managed to say even though he was exhausted.
“That will be your new name. The new you,” he added. “Come fight with me. We’ll get to the top of Yano High. We will protect that same thing we both cherish in our hearts,” he smiled as Nino, now called Kaze, reached out his hand to him.
Nino stood in front of a temple on a hill, facing the cliff and getting a view of the city. He closed his eyes and touched the kanji symbol that was pinned on his school jacket. “I’m getting bored now.” He pocketed his game and smiled. “I hope you won’t disappoint me, Sakurai.”
***
A day before the fight, Sho wondered if he was really meant to fight Nino. He did not want to go up to the stairs. But Ohno was right, he has the instinct. He had no choice but to fight because of that strength of his. He tried to sleep that night but he was unable to.
The next morning, he walked slowly, like a death march. He made his way to the second floor stairs. As he passed the corridors, the other students peered curiously. They were interested with the outcome of the fight so they all went to the school even though it was the last day before the graduation.
Maru was waiting for him. “Aniki…” he said. Sho just nodded at him. His underling followed him.
“Sakurai! We’ll go with you,” Kame said. The whole gang was beside him, blocking the corridor. Sho gave a very small smile that signaled that they could. They walked silently as they passed the other classrooms.
They passed the principal’s office and Kitagawa was watching intently. “Saa, I wonder what the result is,” he said as he closed his door slowly.
Tegoshi and Masuda were leaning on some lockers. As Sho passed them, they also followed. As they were about to turn to the second floor stairs, they saw Jin leaning on the wall. He threw his fedora away and smirked before following. Led by Sho, they all went up the first flight. As they were in the second floor already, the others were blocked by some juniors.
“Only Sakurai could pass by this point,” one of them said. Sho did not look back as he continued walking up. The others just watched, hoping that their thoughts of a good result could reach the transferee.
The four kings were leaning against the walls near the door of the club room. Toma and Pi just looked at him. Jun showed bitterness on his face and Aiba smiled at him nicely as he laughed hoarsely. Sho entered the open door of the Arashi club. The blinds were open. There was a makeshift chandelier in the middle of the room, a cozy couch at the right side, a shelf with a stereo on top on the left side. At the center was a couch covered in golden cloth. The name “Reserved for Ohno Satoshi” was written on a paper on the chair. On its right side was a smaller wooden chair that was upholstered in silver. But his opponent was not there. He was standing behind the golden throne, looking at the window.
“I see that you’re here,” he said, not looking. “With you around me, the view from the top of Yano High is not clear. How annoying.” He closed the blinds, revealing the school logo as the design and making the room a bit dark. He turned around. “Over here,” Nino said as he opened a hidden door just behind the vice president’s seat. Sho followed.
They entered a semi-lit room. It was clean, and he assumed sacred. At the far end of the room was a school flag. The fighting ground was circular and it contained a large kanji of Arashi.
“I see we haven’t introduced each other properly,” Nino said as he removed his white jacket and his favorite toy console and placed it on top of the table in front of the school flag. The jacket was plain but when he removed it, the design was actually embroidered on the back of his school jacket. It was the club logo surrounded by a dragon. He faced his opponent. “I am Ninomiya Kazunari, the vice president of Arashi.”
Sho just looked at him seriously. They both stepped in the ring. “Iku ze!” Nino shouted as they both ran to each other. Sho gave the first attack, trying to punch him but Nino just smirked as he stopped the strong punch with his bare hand. He then used his knee to give repeated blows to the challenger’s stomach. As Sho doubled over, Nino raised his leg and slammed it down on his opponent, causing Sho to fall heavily on the floor.
Nino wiped the sweat off his brow and smiled. “Get up, Sakurai!” he shouted. “Is the reason why you fight that shallow?”
***
Ohno watched the sunset nervously. His eyes were focused, his hands were balled to fists. “I know you could do it. Protect Yano High,” he said. As the moon went up, he tried to stand up but he suddenly felt pain on his head. He groaned. “Please, please not now…” he cried in his head before his body gave in. he collapsed on the floor, the gang symbol shining against the moonlight outside.
