Bright Future

The woman grabbed onto Nishika and hugged her tightly.

"Is that Nishika's mother?" Satou questioned as he watched the woman squeeze the life out of Nishika.

"I think she's trying to kill her" Satou pointed out.

"Mom!!, let her go you're going kill her" Shiro ran over to her and tried to loosen her grip, she started to swing Nishika left and right.

"He..lp," Nishika asked desperately, gasping for air.

"My baby came home!!!" the woman cried out.

The mood in the room changed after hearing her cry out. Nishika gently put her hand on her mother's head.

"Huh" 

"Mo…m, I'm s…orry … I was gone so long… and I made you worried" still gasping for air Nishika apologized trying to reassure her.

"My baby came home!!" She continued to swing her despise her attempt of reassuring her.

One Month Later 

 Satou, Izumo, and Nishika looked down the long bricked path covered with humongous trees. 

"You sure this is the place Satou??" Izumo asked condescendingly 

"I'm sure" Satou replied

"Well let's get going," Nishika said.

They became the walk as Satou and Nishika had suitcases and bags on their back while Izumo did not.

"I now realised, why do you two have suitcases and stuff?"

Satou and Nishika slowly turn their head to Izumo confused, Izumo stared back awkwardly.

"Izumo… so amm" Nishika stared in disbelief 

"Izumo please tell me you sent your clothes in advance because I .." Satou took a deep breath before he put his hand on Izumo's shoulder and stared him deep into his eyes.

"Izumo" 

"Yeah?"

"Where are your clothes?"

"Huh, what are you talking about?, I'm wearing clothes" Izumo looked down and pulled on his shirt and pants. He then looked up cluelessly at Satou and Nishika while they stared at him with absolute disappointment.

"What?," Izumo asked cluelessly 

"Izumo… you know we are enrolled at a dorm school now, which means we are living at the school and we need what to wear?"

"When the hell did we…, we enrolled at a huh, wait start over" Izumo couldn't wrap his head around it, but Satou stared at him waiting for him to answer his question.

"We need clothes…why didn't you tell me all of this before we -" 

"I told you every single morning when you … woke ..up" Satou realized his mistake as he tried to make Izumo remember 

"You told him when he woke up, why would you do that? He doesn't understand his left from right when he wakes up" Nishika scolded him, he sighed and continued walking down the path.

"Wait, my clothes, you still didn't explain what's going on Satou!?!" Izumo was confused and shouted out for his brother.

"You know the sad thing is that the apartment is getting demolished today" Nishika patted his back and walked off leaving him there in confusion.

—------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Woah" 

They were memorized, they stood by the huge white school gate and looked at the entrance of the school.

"It's huge," Nishika said

"Hey, hurry up"

"Huh, who's that?" Satou questioned, the boy stood in the doorway to the entrance waving his hand at them but the entrance and the school gate were so far apart he looked like a dot to Satou, Izumo, and Nishika.

"Wait, is that Nishika's brother?" Izumo stood on top of the security guard's post trying to see who the person was at the entrance.

"You idiot, get down from there!!" Satou tried desperately to pull him off the post but Izumo didn't budge a muscle, Nishika just shook her head.

—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Izumo stood directly in front of Shiro while he tried to intimidate him by staring him down but Shiro's eyes were dead when he stared back into Izumo's eyes.

"You piss me off" Izumo scowled at him defiantly. Satou quickly defused the situation by karate chopping Izumo on his head.

"Calm down," he said, he gently pulled him back from Shiro.

"I heard your mom was there that day too, if I was still up I would've punched her in her face too for being such a bad mother for just forgetting her daughter" Izumo threatened.

Shiro and Nishika's faces showed absolute concern and slight fear.

"The truth is Izumo, she would wipe you off the face of the earth before you can take your next breath before you could close your eyes before your heart could take its next pump of blood. This is more than a warning, don't ever threaten my mother she wouldn't take you seriously but if she does you wouldn't have the chance to apologize" Shiro warned him with all seriousness.

"What you think you're little threat can scare me I would kill both of you" Izumo shouted, Satou held onto his shirt while Izumo tried to get at Shiro looking like Satou trying to control his violent, out-of-control dog.

"I'm sorry about that Shiro" Satou apologized 

"No problem" Shiro quickly accepted his apology

"Well, should we get going" Nishika hurried inside all excited, she looked around the vast building, looking up at the ceiling to see the beautiful painted art, she was completely memorized.

"That's so beautiful!!!" She jumped around all excited by the sight of the ceiling art.

"Good afternoon" 

"Huh?!"Satou, Izumo, and Nishika were startled

The woman stood behind the wooden desk that faced the entrance with a door behind her.

"Was she always there?" Nishika questioned herself. Izumo turned and walked back through the entrance then turned around to see if he was mistaken. He walked through the door to see everyone and the woman still behind the desk.

"You weren't always there, you appeared just a second ago didn't you?" Izumo said confidently as he walked back in.

"As you can see this auditorium has no seats and leveled floor so you can't be mistaken, you were just unaware of my presence, which makes you unfit for this school in my opinion" she insulted them for their bad awareness with a slight degrading expression on her face.

"Hm?"

Satou walked up to her desk without taking his eyes off of her, he put his hand on the desk and pushed on it gently.

"Why is the desk shaky?" He asked

"It's an old desk" she replied instantly.

He put his foot on the bottom corner of the desk and she took a step back. He pushed his foot down and the desk flipped and switched back to the floor like a revolving door.

"Well done " She congratulated him but she didn't show any further emotion than the uninterested and bland expression on her face she almost seemed emotionless.

"You see Miss. Misery I got some good guys with me" Shiro gloated.

"Urghhh, your voice irritates me" Shiro made her almost emotionless face turn to absolute disgust just from hearing his voice. She turned her attention over to Nishika as she looked at her with a keen eye.

"Shiro, is that Nishika Hoshiga?" She asked as her interest peaked.

"Amm, yes I am" Nishika replied.

"Hm, well let's get going" She turned around to the door behind her and she put her hand on the handle.

"Miss. Misery" the boy stood in the doorway of the entrance and his overwhelming aura made Satou and Nishika freeze up.

"What the hell is this aura it ain't negative but I feel like I'm in danger" Satou's thoughts went crazy as the aura was so strong he wasn't able to turn around he just stood there sweating.

"Is that… Jizu no way that's him just no way" Nishika tried to turn her head to see who it was but couldn't

"Hm?"

Izumo stood in front of him staring him down the same way he stared down Shiro. The boy looked up at him even though his eyes were closed.

"His eyes… that scar on his eyes is he blind?" Satou finally built up the courage to look at him.

"Yeah, he is" Shiro replied, he yawned and walked by the desk as he propped up on the desk he looked up at the woman

"He's an aggressive one so this is only going to go one way"

"I'm usually a fight now and ask questions later but I just have to ask what shit are you trying?" Izumo said aggressively.

"Excuse me?" he replied

"Wrong answer" Izumo raised his arm and swung at him,

"Told you," Shiro said

The boy effortlessly dodged and maneuvered his way back outside but Izumo was relentless, he continued his assault with punches and kicks.

"I'm surprised not gonna lie, I was here thinking he would be wild and just throw some wild attacks at Jizu but he looks like a mixed martial artist. Roundhouse kicks, some nice jabs, uppercuts, side kicks he looks like the real deal" Shiro was amazed by Izumo's fighting techniques, however Jizu was dodging each one of his attacks effortlessly.

"Shiro is he really blind?, he dodges Izumo with ease but I'm more concerned about that overwhelming aura he has," Satou asked

"All I can say is that he's blind, but his aura just shows how strong he is," Shiro said but he turned to Satou with a grim look on his face.

"Don't and I'm serious when I say this don't flash your aura around trying to look like a big shot you would get put down like a dog. In Jizu's defense he trying to suppress it right now that's just it seeping out of him" Shiro warned.

"He's trying to suppress … it, what kinda monster is he" Satou questioned, he watched his brother try to land a hit on him but Jizu just kept dodging and evading. 

"Huh?"

Izumo grabbed onto Jizu's wrist and pulled him down so Jizu's face could meet his knee.

Jizu maneuvered quickly, he took a quick step back tugging Izumo front while he loosen Izumo's grip. 

"Shit!" Izumo thought as Jizu suddenly grab onto his wrist and copied the move, he was about to. Jizu's knee hit Izumo directly in the face as the blood gash out of his nose he tried to catch his balance. He was in a slight daze but he caught back his balance and focus.

"Where did he go?!" Izumo asked while he looked around for him.

"He's behind you!!" Satou shouted

"Huh?"Izumo turned around but it was too late. Jizu sweep-kicked him making him fall to the ground. Jizu's leg was raised over his head ready to deliver a ground-scattering hammer kick. Izumo quickly returns to his sense and jumped out of the way, Jizu's kick scattered the ground and created a dust cloud.

Izumo stood outside the dust cloud with his guard up waiting for Jizu to appear anywhere. The dust started to get into Izumo's eyes he blinked and rub his eyes quickly trying to get out the dust before Jizu's next attack. 

"Huh?!" Suddenly Izumo was behind Jizu slowly turned his head to him and smiled. Jizu judo slammed him into the ground with no effort at all.

"?!" Jizu was startled

"Hane Goshi, not a bad judo choice" Izumo smiled.

"He should be coughing up blood or unconscious he's a tough one," Jizu thought to himself 

Izumo grabbed onto Jizu's shirt and pull him down while Izumo spun his body around on his back to generate a powerful heel kick to Jizu's face. 

"So Satou how come you're not stopping him," Shiro asked

"Cause I want to fight him too," Satou said eagerly 

"Hm, I would never know why people are so eager to fight" Shiro muttered, Miss. Misery heard him, she glared at him.

"You're a monster and you know it, I'm sorry for the people you want dead like mother like son they say but is Nishika a monster like they are?"

Jizu slapped Izumo's wrist with his knuckles weakening his grip, Jizu leaned out of range of Izumo's kick. Jizu took a few steps and stood up straight as if the fight was over.

 "Huh, you think I'm finished, you think this fight is over, this fight is far from over" Izumo tried to get back on his feet but he stumbled, he looked down at his feet to see a small cut on his achilles tendon. He then tried to get up again, he put his hands on the ground to help himself get up but he fell flat on the ground.

"What just happened?"Satou questioned, Izumo looked at the place Jizu slapped to see it was swell, Jizu walked up to him and rubbed his head.

"That's enough now," He said, he walked away leaving him laying on the ground.

Satou walked over to Izumo still laying on the ground.

"Satou, people like him are the reason why I still want to get stronger. One day I'm going beat his ass with my eyes closed thats not a threat it's a promise you hear me!!!," Izumo shouted eagerly so Jizu could hear him.

"Iz...Izumo, why was I worried, why did i think Izumo would just give up" Satou put his hand out to help Izumo up which he accepted.

"Satou, he cut me with something, he has no weapon on him, I assume it's his innate art or something" Izumo analyzed his techniques, his own mistakes and his strength.

"That's just like Izumo not letting his defeat weigh down his mind he going to learn from the fight and improve himself for the next fight," Satou smiled, Izumo got up and simply shook his feet and arm. Jizu looked back to see Izumo was back on his feet and was walking perfectly fine.

"Hmm, this one is truly a tough one" He was amazed, he then took hand sanitizer out of his pocket, put some on his hand, and rubbed it in.

"Germphobia" Shiro mocked him for his fear of germs.

"Leave me alone Shiro" Jizu jokingly pushed off his mockery as he laughed.

"If he's just a regular student Izumo, we got a lot of work to do if we want to find him"

"And I'm excited"

They both smiled as they saw their chance to fight strong opponents, opportunities to get improve themselves. They saw a bright future.
