Ōkami's POV
The days continued on like that. Everyone was really ignoring me. Only glares and whispers appeared as I walked past them. People did not talk to me, unless they really had to. I got quieter and quieter during lessons, that even Sensei(teacher) noticed something. Why? Because he called me up.
The bell had just rang, signalling lunch time. "Ok bye class. See you all later. Ōkami, come over and help me with the books." I trudged slowly out of my seat towards the teacher's table to carry the stack of books. Then I followed behind him, out the door. As we walked, he started questioning me. "Ōkami is everything going alright? Suddenly you seem to have lost your cheerfulness, you look so glum and dull everyday." I shook my head trying to avoid his questions by ignoring him. Allowing my fringe which had been growing to cover my eyes. Avoiding eye contact and keeping quiet was what usually put people off, but he still persisted. After placing the books into the storeroom, I walked straight towards the door. But sensei(teacher) was faster. He had locked the door, disallowing me to pass.
His face looked more stern now though with gentleness of concern. "I ask you once more Ōkami. Is everything alright?" I guess there was no escaping such a troublesome teacher. I let out an exasperated sigh, maybe telling him part of my troubles would help. "Well sensei as you know, the school's sweet princess, Akazuki is well, in a coma. Being her desk mate I was close to her, and lessons are saddening without her by my side to laugh at my jokes or help me with my studies. It is quite lonely and I hope she wakes soon, for the better of herself and us all." I lifted my head as I finished my "speech", looking at sensei.
He looked sympathetic, a feeling I hated most. Helping one just out of pity and not of true intentions is not actually caring. Sensei got closer and and pat me on the back. "Well there is nothing we can do, we all just have to hope for the best. I too quite miss the presence of such a beautiful girl in my class." As he said those words, his gaze met mine. In his eyes were a lewd passion, something a teacher should not have for a student.
"You bastard!" I pushed him against the wall, pulling his collar up. Staring ferociously at him in the eye, baring my fangs which had protruded slightly. I could feel the turmoil and hate burning in my chest, my blood pressure getting faster. Sensei glared back at me in the eye, a smirk adorned his face. "Two years boy, and I can snatch her away easily." He easily took my grip away, strolling past me. I could feel a strange aura around him, it was slightly magical.
Transformation magic!
He was not human either. Before walking out, he turned once more smirking back at me. "She'll like me better for sure. As the lion is the king of the jungle, and a king always gets what a king wants..." and off he went. Leaving me all agitated.
I walked out and decided to get some food for lunch before heading back to class. The cafeteria was crowded and even though everyone avoided me on normal basis. Everyone still squeezed against each other to try get the bread. Phew, I was lucky. I managed to get a yakisoba bread before everything ran out. I strolled back to class as I ate my bread heartily. Its savoury taste taking my anger away, though I was still annoyed. What a pervert sensei is to be preying on the pure sweet Akazuki! I continued walking and I reached my class soon enough. In Akazuki's seat, Karasuno was waiting for me as he fiddled with my stationary.
As I got into my seat I started complaining to him. "Our sensei is a pervert, he is hitting on Akazuki! Did you know..." I continued babbling about what had just happened to Karasuno. He kept nodding, acknowledging what I said. Speaking at appropriate times. He really was a great friend to listen to all the crap I had to give. Though, all the things I told him were only superficial problems. I did not want to trouble him so much again like the other time. So I kept the bigger issues to myself. Lunch was over very soon, and he had to go back to class.
The moment Karasuno left, I let out a huge heave. My face, from the previous and expressive one. To one which was emotionless. Though I still felt very dejected and depressed about the situation, I felt a bit better. Maybe letting your problems run out of your mouth was not so bad. I lay my head down on the table, waiting for that pervert to come teach us...
Lessons were over quick, because I slept through most of them. The day was boring without Akazuki. I missed her so much. My heart throbbed at the thought of her name, wanting to go and see her but no I could not. It would not be of any good to her. I would just be harming her more. As it was not good for us, more black butterflies would fly and fill out sky. No, we cannot have that happen. A future without her, was the solution. It made my heart ache knowing that I could no longer touch her, laugh with her, learn more things about her. However, it was the best for her. From when she awakes from her sleep till we die, I shall stare at her from afar...
As I walked out of class down the corridor, I could feel a presence following me. I could not quite identify what it was though, could be another adorable stray dog for all I knew. I walked towards the side of the school where it was slightly more secluded as there was a shortcut down the road to the forest.
Third person's POV
"Piak!" Palm against fist, a loud impact was heard. Ōkami turned to look at his attacker. It was some random guy from second year. Throwing his fist down, the unknown attacker spat out. "You took away everyone's princess!" His saliva and spittle flew everywhere, some landing on Ōkami's face. That triggered him. Fangs descending, he swung a fist towards the second year's face. It hit him square in the jaw, a small cut appearing some blood coming out. "You bas-" Before the senior had a chance to finish his sentence, Ōkami served him a roundhouse kick. That sent him throttling to the ground. His face, straight into the dirt.(He may have eaten some too, who knows) He grunted in pain, laying there for a while as Ōkami walked to his side. The anger in him had built up a lot, his heart racing. The immense feelings had made his ears and tail appear, making it obvious that he was a half breed. He stepped on the second year's back with a hard impact, though it did not break his back. "Don't mess with me. If you think losing a pretty girl was hard. Think about loosing your mate." Ōkami growled in a low tone his voice intimidating. He then stalked off in anger, leaving the senior scared shitless.
Meanwhile...
Karasuno's POV
I had ran to Ōkami's class in hopes of catching him before I left. Alas as I had guessed he disappeared already as my teacher had let us off late that day. However he may still be in the school compound! I knew that he would most likely take the side school route to the forest. So I ran as fast as I could all the way there. However as I got closer I could heard a loud collision. Between two hands. Not the clapping kind, a collision of aggressiveness. At this point I was already close enough to be able to smell Ōkami's scent, however it was mixed with someone else's. That meant there was another person.
Peeking over the corner, I went to check out what was going on. Unsurprisingly it was Ōkami, and some second year senior. Surprisingly the senior looked... angry? Then he shouted something about taking away everyone's princess. Oh no...it was another thing related to Akazuki. She was literally known throughout the whole school as its princess. This was bad. Everyone thought that loosing her was bad, they all assume it was Ōkami's fault that she was in a coma. As they all think that he had rejected her and she had tried to commit suicide. So they all blamed him for her current state. When really it was a pure accident.
I continued watching the fight, Ōkami easily beat the senior. Though his ears and tail had appeared. Left lying in the dirt, the senior was murmuring something to himself. I could not really hear what he was saying as I did not have hearing as sharp as Ōkami's. However Ōkami probably did not hear anything either as by the looks on his face, he simply could not be bothered by anything. His eyes were filled with so much anger and hate as he walked down the path which lead to the forest.
Thinking about it a bit, I do not think I should try to catch up with him. As, an angry wolf was something that one should never mess with.
(Time skip, Karasuno is home now)
Dropping my bag and falling into bed, many things kept going through my mind. My best friend he was so muddled and messed within his brain. When he told me his problems, acting all cheerful. I cannot help but see that it really is not him. His eyes were so empty like a void. He is just like a shell, now that he has lost Akazuki. His mate...so this is what happens. It makes the other half all empty and unknowing to what they should do. Just drifting around in life. I hope that never happens to me, and I hope he gets better.
Oof I can't seem to get past the 2000 mark recently, only like 1500+. I hope it's because this arc is ending soon. Ah well either way, I hope you've enjoyed the chapter!!
