Small CAT (english version!)

Chapter 1 - "Where is it?"

"I wonder if he's okay?" Nirei asked. It had been a while since Sakura went to the bathroom and hadn't come back, which left the yellow-haired boy worried. "I'm sure Sakura is just taking a bit longer, Nirei-kun :)" Suo said. "Let's wait a few more minutes and if he doesn't come back, we'll go check on him." Suo suggested to calm the other vice-captain down. "Okay!" Nirei said, less worried.

Ten minutes passed. Ten looong minutes and Sakura still hadn't come back. "I don't care anymore, I'm going to look for Sakura-san!" Nirei said loudly. "Okay, okay, let's go quickly then."

They arrived at the bathroom and didn't hear anything. "Sakura-san?" Nirei asked. The two older boys heard a small, high-pitched sob. Suo opened a stall and was perplexed. Next to the toilet, a small child was curled up, covering his face with his legs while one arm supported his head and the other pulled his hair on the white side. "Sakura-kun?" Suo asked with a voice as soft as the wind.

*How did I end up here?* The little one trembled at the sound of someone opening the door but relaxed a bit, still trembling more when a gentle voice called out "Sakura-kun?". The small one looked up and saw an elegant young man standing in front of him. Only one eye was visible, but it had a dazzling color, crimson red that was very gentle. His earrings caught Sakura's attention. *I want to touch* Haru thought, but was too scared.

Don't touch me!!!

HE STOLE ME!!!

He'll curse you

You shouldn't have been born.

You're definitely defective, you'll impregnate if I touch.

Definitely you cheated, so you're gonna get a lower grade.

Look at that hair and those eyes...

Disgusting

Suo didn't know what to do when mini Haruka started trembling and curling up even more next to the toilet in a tiny space. "We're not going to hurt you." Suo whispered, crouching down and extending his hand a bit away from mini Haruka for him to make his decision. He didn't want to scare the little one in front of him anymore.

*Where are the punches? Kicks? Anything like that?* Sakura didn't know, but after a long time, he moved a bit from his position. Suo was glad for the small change, but continued without moving an inch.

After some more time, Sakura finally, put his hand on Suo's. They stayed like that for a bit until Sakura decided to move closer to Suo. Seeing the boy approach, Suo quickly - and gently - brought him out of the stall.

Meanwhile, Nirei was creating multiple possibilities. 'You know what? We're in a DELINQUENT SCHOOL, what's normal in our life?' he thought.

"So, Sakura-san.." Suo began, and Sakura immediately tensed up again and lifted his head to look at the person he was leaning on. "Don't worry! I just wanted to explain what's going on, basically you're in the future, we're your friends and, for some reason, you shrunk. Pretty much everyone who talks to you are good people. Do you want to stay here or go home?"

Haruka didn't know where 'home' was and didn't want to walk around much. But there was a problem...

He can't talk.

You see, there was an "accident" with his uncle that made him unable to speak properly.

With the loudest voice he could manage, he responded: "H-here.." it hurts. It hurts so much, but he had to communicate somehow.

Even though his voice was barely a whisper, the boys seemed to understand.

...

'Wait, boyS?' yes, our little Sakura hadn't noticed the presence of a second boy in the room.

"Ah! I'm Nirei! By the way, we're your vices in the future, and you're the captain!" said the yellow-haired boy.

*He seems excited..?* the little one thought. Yes, Nirei was very extroverted, but he tried his best to hide his desire to play with mini Haruka.

"Well, let's go to the room! The others must be worried, right?" Suo said finally.

"That's a good idea! Let's go!" Nirei agreed.

*It can't be that bad, right?*
