A Turn of Events

Chapter 4: A Turn of Events

The gloomy, cold days still continued and to be honest, it was getting on Touka's nerves. In the complete silence of her classroom, the sounds of the clock ticking away and tapping of pencils or fingers on the desk were making it worse. She didn't know why, but she felt like she has to get out of here, as if she would suffocate if she didn't. She wondered if Ayato finally decided to show up for his classes. What if he was causing trouble again?

The sound of closing books, snapped her out of her frantic thoughts. She didn't pay much attention to the teacher's final words as she quickly gathered her stuff and left the classroom.

She felt the stares of her classmates and mumbled like: Be careful, if you make her angry she'll beat you up like the senior from class 2.

Even in the human world the siblings were labelled as troublemakers, in Touka's case a lot milder than she actually showed, but still her stare would send most students shivering. Though, she did had some lash out years ago with some delinquent students, she had been quiet those couple of years and the seniors, they were taking about, ran away like a deer trying to escape his predator. They all talk big first, but when it comes to it, they all cringe away.

The female ghoul left the school building, deciding to stop by the middle school her brother was submitted to. She didn't have to search at all, because the boy was outside behind the school, again, his foot pressed on the head of some guy. Two other guys were lying almost unconscious on the ground. "So, what was it what you were planning to do, you shit?" The blue-haired boy sneered sadistically.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I won't try anything anymore! I promise!"

Ayato scoffed. "Why should I believe you? Besides, you've pissed me off to no end, so prepare the consequences!"

"What are you doing?" Touka demanded.

The boy looked up at his elder sibling. "I was just teaching him a lesson."

"Leave him, he's not worth your time."

The younger ghoul looked at the human who was shivering in fear and sighed. His sister had a point, humans weren't worth it, no matter how much he wanted to break the weakling's spinal column, he was too weak and frail for it to give any piece of enjoyment. He put his foot back on the ground and leaned in. "Try that again and I will kill you." He hissed dangerously.

The teen nodded silently and quickly limbed away, trying to drag his comrades with him.

"So, are you going to explain that or what?" Touka asked, as she crossed her arms and raised her eyebrow in expectancy, after the group of human had left their sight and Ayato's turned his attention towards his sister.

Ayato placed his hands in his pockets. "They're dirt from some street gang and tried to intimidate me because I beat up their underlings the other day. Those idiots thought they were stronger than me." He smirked. "How stupid."

Touka pulled the boy by his scarf. "Idiot, what if someone saw you?! I'm not in the mood to hide from another dove."

"Speaking of doves, it's become a lot more quieter since that trash got killed."

"Don't relax, you know that the dead of one will lure more here."

"Don't you think they would have done it already, but I hardly see a briefcase."

"Let's just hope it will stay that way. Now come on, it's cold and I want to go home!"

"Sure," the boy replied. "So, did you get scolded by the old man?"

"No, why?"

"Last time we killed someone we had to listen to his nonsense for hours."

"Well, it wasn't me who killed him, remember.
