Yuri POV

 I woke up with severe headache. Perhaps I cut myself too much yesterday night. The cuts are still visible, I carefully count it, 30 cuts. I haven't cut so much in one day. Scabs keep forming on the cuts but I just scratched it off. 

I swiftly changed into school wear. The thought of Natsuki makes me blush.

"What is this feeling..." I mumbled to myself

It's.... weird. 

I ate a panadol and left my house, ready. 

I got my book that I bought few days ago, and read it while I walked to school.

"Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

    I saw an annoying girl running towards me in the distance, waving her arms in the air, oblivious to any attention which is drawn into her.

"Oh hi Sayori." I bluntly said. Still focusing on the book.

"You know that I like Monika right?!" She whispered quietly. 

"Yeah." I answered, putting away my book. Aware of what she might say next.

"Well I confessed to her and she is my girlfriend now!" She said enthusiastically.

"Well good for you~" I gave her a small smile and continued walking, my mind full of a pink haired girl. 

       We walked to school in silence, theres a big crowd in front of the school. And someone is in the middle of the crowd.  It's Monika. Monika walked towards us and held Sayori's hand. 

"Lets go honey~" She said, giving me a glare, she is probably jealous of me going to school with Sayori. I gave an awkward smile and walked to my classroom.

       As usual, the petite little girl still sat at the last row, resting her head and hands on the table. I slowly walked towards her after putting my bag on my desk.

    "Good morning Natsuki~" I forced up my nerves and said, my whole body shaking of the tension. I'd never know what she might do when she is pissed. 

   To my surprise she didn't do anything hostile, she just raised her head up, fuzzily shook it a few times and talks."Yeah?" 

 I looked at her messy hair and two small pigtails, her sleepy face and untidy uniform. How cute.

"EH?! What did you just say?! I-I'm not cute!" She said in fluster. Her eyes filled with anger, ready to kill me any second.

"Oh-I'm super sorry! Did I just said it out loud?" I asked in concern.

"Yes and I insist you not to call me cute!" She pouted.

"Hmmm, the possibility is low" I said quietly hoping she wouldn't hear.

   "What did you say? Possibility is low?!死ぬ!" She then charged towards me with her fist ready to hit me. I simply put my hand on her head and held it, she is too short and her arms aren't long enough to hit me.

   I stood there holding her head while she is trying to hit me with her neko punch.

 The bell rang in a few minutes and we sat back on our seats, the homeroom period is boring, I never listen to what Mr. Taka says, he is probably speaking nonsense or useless things which wouldn't help my academics nor my job. I feel a aura of death behind me, I turned around seeing Natsuki staring at me as she would kill me anytime soon. 

     As the anxiety of myself starts to build up, I insisted to go to the restroom which the teacher agreed.

    A few scars appeared on my forearm.

  Going back seeing that there isn't any familiar faces in my classroom, I looked at the clock, its 2 minutes after the first lesson started. I rushed into the classroom and got my bag also apologizes about causing trouble in their lesson, I then ran to my locker and got the books I needed for my Japanese lesson.

  Aura of death.

 I felt something, an uneasy feeling, feels like somebody is staring in my soul.

    My body became tense, automatically went into defensive mode, ready to take on any enemy which shows up. I feel my breath became slow and heavy while my eyes into shades of purple.

    Closing the locker door seeing the pink girl, but she shocked me and I gave her a punch with full force on her face.

   "Natsuki?!" I screamed as she fainted.

 Natsuki POV

"Natsuki?!" The last sound I heard before fading into never ending darkness.

    I jolted awake, seeing myself in a unfamiliar place, I'm still wearing my school uniform.

    I sat up, feeling warmth from my left hand, turning my head seeing Yuri sat next to me. I blushed as I looked into her deep purple eyes. She looked at me shock, "You haven't died! Thank god!"

"Die?"I asked in confusion. Then I felt the pain from my cheeks. Thinking of what happened, I felt surprise, I never thought Yuri could be that strong... "Were You trying to kill me?" I glared at her, and her head lowers apologetically."I-I mean I was s-scared and so, it was natural instinct....And you seemed like y-you are gonna kill me..." She spoke softly.

Kill her? What for? Oh yeah she called me cute....

  "Quit kidding! I might hate people calling me cute, but I wouldn't kill people as it is illegal, you wouldn't tell me that you'd kill people like that serial killer out there right?" I said, trying to cheer her up.

"Y-Yes, w-who would kill others?T-thats m-mean..." She says awkwardly as her gaze looking away from mine.

"Well anyways are you fine?I-I mean I know I just landed a fist on you but do you need to go to hospital or something?"She said, changing the topic.

"I'm fine,"I sighed,"But can you stay here until I became better?"I asked, hoping she'd stay.

"Well sure!"She gave a sweet smile. WAIT DID I SAY SWEET?

I then stayed there until lunch with Yuri, as I left the medical room, I saw Sayori running towards me and hugged me.

"I'm so worried of you! I thought you've got snapped out of school or something because of the fighting!"

"F-fighting?"Yuri asked hesitantly, but her eyes are too calm for someone who just knows that their friend is involved in fighting. 

"E-EH?! Sayori?!" I glared at Sayori while she is still oblivious to what situation she brought me in.

"O-oh! Nothing!" She finally knows something to say. Her face replaced by an awkward smile.

     Yeah, she sure is a happy-go-lucky klutz, but she is a cute cinnamon bun and I know that I should protect her.

    I then noticed that Yuri started observing me, which makes me feel uncomfortable actually.

"Yuri?" I asked, she shook her head real quick and had realization of what just happened.

"Uuuuuu....I'm sorry....I was spacing out..."She said,"A-ah yes! Let's go and e-eat lunch, shall we?"

"Sure!" Sayori beamed. Walking to the canteen with us.

"... And thats how we became girlfriends!"

"Oh okay!I see why you two are being so deredere (A/N: It meant lovey-dovey in Japanese too) then."I commented after Sayori's long speech.

"What are you guys talking about?" Monika walked towards us while asking.

"Moni!"Sayori flees and hugged Monika, Monika froze for a second but decided to hug back. A satisfied smile appeared on her face.

"You can join the athletic team if you'd normally run that fast" I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah, That's a funny joke."  Monika looked at me hostile.

"Woah!I know you gays are in a relationship and I ship you both, whats with that face, Monika?" I spoke up loud but am in a panic right now.

Her hostile attitude broke in a second, back to the Monika I knew "Oh! I see! I'm sorry for being so hostile~"

 Thats the last time I saw Yuri before Papa comes home.

  The days without her is boring, I just followed my daily routine and go fighting in parks at the evening.I still go to club but we rarely communicated as Sayori and Monika were being lovey-dovey all the time.
