Back Home

... So now it's time to go back home.

I am jogging back home, I can't get lazy and walk normally, because they might have avoided the police officer and are still on my trail. Visiting the police station might have added a few meters to the distance to my home, but I will reach soon.

I can't pretend what just happened like it never happened. If those guys are persistent, then maybe they will have a go again at me. Those other guys who saved me this time may not be available the next time I meet them. From now on, I should avoid being alone on the streets and try to stay with other people or friends. But sadly none of my friends stay near my home, except for Yui.

"Yui... Yui..." I mumbled and am wondering if I could even have a peaceful conversation with her. She changed a lot since middle school. Maybe it's because of her social or peer influence that made her like how she is now.

"Ahh... Dammit" My brain hurts. Is it because of what all have happened today. It started so good with Rin, I hoped it even ended like that, but no, something or the other had to come out of its way to make my day troublesome.

At last, I made it back to my home from its rear. I took a little peek from the walls to check whether they were waiting for me at the gate, but it was empty so I went inside through the gate.

It is partially dark outside. I can detect a pleasant smell from our kitchen. Onee-Chan is cooking something delicious. Looking at the worn out polythene bag I realized that I have only one Ice cream left and the packet of Kit-kat.

[If Onee-Chan notices this worn out polythene bag and my clothes she will surely realize that I ran into a trouble. Better not make her worried.]

So I dusted my clothes a bit, threw away the polybag and held the insides with my hands before ringing the bell.

~~DING DONG~~ The bell went.

*CLick*

"There you are, Touya-Kun" The door opened after a few seconds. "Welcome to our home" Akari Onee-Chan greeted me with a vibrant smile and an intriguing display of her pink apron which she wore over her night pajamas (pyjamas).

I entered inside, locked back the door. She is still standing there and looking at me. She didn't notice nothing until now. If she isn't able to notice anything wrong about me in a glance, that means I successfully managed it. As I removed my shoes, she went back towards the kitchen.

"Touya-Kun did anything happen with you today?"

"No, nothing new happened today" I readily answered back to her. Did she finally notice something?

"Touya-Kun, were u really at your friends house until now?"

Oh no! here it comes. She is suspicious. "Yes Onee-chan I was with him and then I went to play Soccer with him. So maybe I am a bit dusty." I managed not to make an eye contact with her while I said this, It hard for me to make a steady eye contact when telling a lie, so its best to not make an eye contact at all to avoid suspicions.

[This is the best excuse I am able to come up. It can explain the answer for both the questions, why I am late and why I am a bit worn out.]

"Hmm... I see" She enter inside the kitchen. "Hurry up and take a bath, the food is ready."

[Yes... It looks like I made it successfully.]

I entered inside the bathroom and removed my clothes. I inspected my T-shirt. There is a faint mark of blood on it on the shoulder and also on pant. So I threw them in the washing machine and I entered the bathtub.

"~~aaah!, feels so good" My muscles got sore after running that much.

*clank*

What?

Wait! There is someone peeping on me from outside the small window.
