Silence pulsated throughout the Sakurai home. Shige's parents were away on a trip, and his sister Yui was at her girlfriend's house (Shige's description for Hikaru). Most days like this, Shige would have filled the house with his friends: drinking, smoking, and injecting drugs into their veins. On the days Shige wasn't out breaching the streets for ( Read more... )

The bell signifying the beginning of class had just begun to go off as Shige walked onto school property. He had taken a detour to work, scoping out the area he often visited ever since Rei had been attacked only a few days before.

During practice, Shige received a text message, which he checked, turning away from ( Read more... )

Feel free to comment about the ( Read more... )

It was after school and all Saturday school activities had ended a short time ago. Shige was still in his school uniform, his jacket undone, unfearing the wind the afternoon had to offer. He didn't have a club to attend on Saturday. Today he had left the school late because he had hung around archery practice a bit, bothering Yui. Now he was ( Read more... )

Tiny pieces of debris bounced past Shige preceding a large crash as a couple of boxes had tumbled over. "Enough already. You dipshits ain't getting anywhere, but beating the shit outta each other," Shige snarled looking up at the two boys that had been fighting seconds earlier ( Read more... )
