Chapter 3:
KAZE
That was the first time I saw Aiba in his full glory. He was laughing maniacally as the group of students were lying on the ground. Some of them were unconscious but some of them were writhing in pain. He picked one up by the hair, holding him with his bloody fist, and forcefully pushing his head down so that it would hit the cemented road.
It was dark but I immediately recognized some of those boys. They were from my junior high school. “What…” I breathed out.
Aiba grabbed the baseball bat from one of the yankees and continued hitting them. It was actually too much for me. You don’t hit guys who are already on the ground. But I was watching this man, the same man who gave me the pinwheel and the burger, the same man who always gave me that innocent smile, beating them mercilessly that they could be as good as dead.
I won’t let him descend to be a murderer.
“STOP THAT!” I shouted. It seemed uncool for me but worry was etched on my face. Worry not for the other yankees on the ground but for Aiba. The cray man dropped the bat and looked at me, his head tilted to one side as if he did not know why I called him off. He looked at me, a smile on his lips. That smile made me freeze. It would be impossible for me to run from a fight but here I was, my right foot all ready to step backward once he would go towards me.
“Ne, Kaze-san, are you mad?” he asked me. That simple question that sounded innocent some days ago now seemed to be like a threat.
“Aiba-san…”
“I thought we’re friends. I thought you’re going to call me ‘Aiba-chan’…” He sounded hurt but his face was still that killer mask. True enough, he started walking towards me.
“Aiba-chan…” I breathed out. “What are you doing?” I didn’t know what I even wanted to know in this question.
“They said they wanted to play with me,” he said like a kid who was trying to explain himself. “I think I won this game…”
“But why…?” I asked him. “You don’t have a reason for fighting?” That was Leader’s number one rule in Arashi: fighting should have a reason.
He pouted his lips and made a sound as if he was thinking. He looked up. “Ah!” he said. “I have…” he started. He then laughed once again. I really hated that laugh. It’s a laugh that you would only probably hear inside a mental hospital. “I forgot! I forgot!”
“Aiba-chan…”
“Ne, Kaze-san, play with me,” he said. Aiba started to walk forward. This time, I could not even walk away. “Play with me now. I’m bored with these bullies...”
At that moment, I wanted Leader to actually be with me. I didn’t know if I could beat Aiba. Leader was another monster but this Aiba was different. If I don’t win this fight, I might even die. Furthermore, I don’t know what Aiba was actually capable of. What if he does something unimaginable with Leader?
I sighed and looked at the ground. “Fine. I’ll play with you.” I removed the white jacket I was wearing, revealing the embroidered kanji of my fight club. I dropped my DS on the jacket and rotated my head as warm up. I was trying to act cool but inside, I was really scared.
“If Kaze-san wins, Aiba-chan will stop, okay?” he said. “Pinky swear.” He held out his pinky. I did not respond to him.
I held out my finger and gestured him to come forward. The last thing I saw was his sweet smile before he came charging towards me.
He held me tight in his arms and pushed me towards the wall. Aiba then started to use the wall as his weapon, hitting any visible parts of my body to the hard surface. In retaliation, I used my knee to hit him in the abdomen. He staggered to the side but he looked at me with that crazy smile and ran towards me again.
I noticed that he did not even have a distinct fighting style. Just hit and hit. He did not even try to defend himself; he just let himself fall on the ground, stand up, smile, and attack once again. It was actually exhausting for me to fight someone who did not really have something new hidden in their mind. I would hit him successfully, but like a daruma, he would stand up and smile again.
In a way, I thought Aiba-chan was stupid.
“You’re a devil, Kaze-san!” he said with a laugh before he tried to kick me. Hell, he was fast! I thought I was able to dodge that kick but it was able to reach my head, knocking me down.
“Ah, it’s done?” he said in confusion as he looked at me, on all fours, on the cold, hard ground. “I thought we can play longer, Kaze-san.”
“Damn…” I muttered. I would never accept defeat. If the other kings knew that I was beaten by this guy, I would be humiliated. And Leader… Leader placed a lot of faith in me. I could never lose. I coughed and saw blood on the cement.
“Kaze~san?” I heard his voice. It sounded like a kid who wanted to play but was not allowed to do so.
“Pull yourself together, Ninomiya Kazunari,” I told myself through gritted teeth. I mustered all my strength and stood up, facing Aiba, who started to clap happily at my revival.
“Let’s play again, Kaze-san!” he said brightly. His face turned dark. “This time, take it seriously!”
It was my turn to smirk. I let Aiba run towards him to attack but I used my speed to get out of the way and gave him a downwards kick to send him to the ground. I then gave another kick before he could get up, sending him towards the wall.
I watched him silently, watched his heavy breathing as he just sat there. Normally, I would smirk and say something towards my opponent but Aiba just made me feel a little upset that I had to hurt him like that. Even though he could actually kill me.
“Not… yet… done…” he said, standing up. I approached him. I wanted to tell him that it’s over and he lost. I watched him crawl up, using my leg as his support.
It was really unexpected. He bit my leg, making me kick him again as if I was attacked by ants. It was a moment of disorientation so he was able to push me down, straddling me and punching me afterwards.
“Kaze-san… so cute…” he giggled as he leaned closer to my face. Then a packed punch came to my cheek. I used my arms to block his attacks. I finally succeeded on standing up and I made sure that he would not be able to stand up again by giving him a spinning axe kick that sent him to the ground.
He was motionless for some time. I watched him attentively while I tried to catch my breath. I was on alert as I watched him sit. He looked at me with his chocolate brown eyes that seemed to glow nicely. It was a weird positive feeling, even though his face was stained with dried blood from the opponents and from me.
“Kaze-san… sugoii!” he said, clapping his hands while laughing. “Amazing… amazing!” He then stood up and tried to walk. However, he was probably that hurt that his legs gave up. I immediately caught him.
“Let me help you,” I said kindly, a voice only reserved for Leader before. I helped him sit on the bench. “Aiba-chan?”
“Kaze-san, you beat me in my game. I am so happy…” he said weakly in between his laughs. “Aiba-chan promises to be with you always!”
“What?”
Before I could even stop it, I found Aiba’s lips on mine. It was a simple peck on the lips but it was enough to stop me from thinking about anything. If Leader finds out about this, I would definitely be humiliated by his teasing looks!
“Ne, Kaze-san, that is my promise to you. Aiba-chan will be with you FOREVER!” he said happily.
At first, I was dumbfounded. This was not I was expecting. But then, I regained composure and remembered the real purpose why I had to fight him. “So… you will join Arashi?”
“I will go through any storm or tsunami or earthquake! Just for Kaze-san!” he said.
“Stupid. Arashi is the name of the fight club,” I just said, hitting my new comrade playfully. Aiba giggled once again. It was as if the demon he fought earlier disappeared in a flash.
Like I said, he was worse than Toma’s mood swings. I wonder why.
