Something is weird about this note. The problem was I didn’t really know the motive of the person who sent me this note and what was more disturbing was the fact that I couldn’t even pinpoint who it would be. With my heightened senses, I would have been quick enough to notice that but I couldn’t do it at all.
"Looks like I just need to wait," I muttered to myself and then my peripheral was completely covered by white and my eyes got two hands covering them. Feeling the coldness in my eyes I smiled and decided to play along a little.
"Guess who it is~," the person who had the hands on my eyes said in a playful voice.
"I don’t know honestly. Hmmm, let me think. Haruka? No, maybe Sakura. No, Sakura won’t be bold enough to do something about that. Sorry about that Sakura but that is the truth and we all know it," I said and the hands on my eyes start to press it. "Aah, I know. Hatsumi!"
I said and turned around seeing an enraged and sulking look on Ai’s face. I laughed amused and held her hands before she could retract them away from me.
"Well, no, it is my adorable girlfriend, Tsubaki Ai," I said with a gentle smile on my face making her face turn red and I pulled her closer to me. "So, did the class take this long that you miss me already?"
"Mmmh…I’m someone who will miss you even after a few seconds," Ai said with a pout on her face and I chuckled. I could no longer feel angry gazes on me since the boys in the class have just given up on trying to get me to break up with Ai so they could have a chance so that was one thing that was off my back. It was really annoying honestly having to say the same thing again and again to every single boy in the class and it felt like it was just not my class but even other classes. Every boy who thought they could have easily gotten Ai to date them was in it.
"Anyways, we have something to do during lunch period," I said to her in a somewhat serious voice and instantly picked up on it and nod her head. She walked back to her seat and looked back at me one last time. We nodded together in agreement and patiently waited for the lunch period to happen.
After some classes, the time had come.
It was the lunch period and also our time to be on the move.
I got off my seat with my lunch box because even though it would be something super important. Eating food is also really important and something we should be doing on a daily basis with no excuses. Eat your meals people.
Ai also stood up from her seat and started following me. All eyes in the class followed us by the time we left the room and as soon as we got out. All eyes were on us now. This was something had gotten used to now knowing full well it was all because of Ai and not me. All the attention I had gotten mainly rooted to the information of me being Ai’s boyfriend if not for that, I would have glided through these corridors without anyone noticing it.
"Where are we going Kazu-kun?" Ai said walking next to me now.
"To the rooftop. I got a message from someone that we have to meet them there," I said walking a bit quicker. "Let’s just try to reach there before the person who sent the message. If they did have some malicious intent, they might have just set up a trap for us and I am not really in the mood to deal with that today. The day had been pretty peaceful lately and I need it after the chaos that was yesterday."
"You have a point, I’ll quickly go and sense around the area for any traps or anyone being at the rooftop," Ai said and I nodded. She started running down the corridor and I got to my pocket going for the keychain. It was something that I should always have on me in case of emergency and that was also something that looked pretty cool on me.
I got closer to the stairs leading to the rooftop and stopped seeing Ai’s shadow falling on the wall just still. Not moving. Knowing it wasn’t something that was going to be any good. I decided to go up slowly and draw out my katana since it felt like something that I should be doing. Not because it looked cool this time but because it was needed.
"What is it, Ai?" I asked her and she already had her fangs and nails drawn out. "A trap?"
"No, just a person. A boy who is a year younger than us and a cat," Ai told me and I looked at her confused. Okay, seriously what on earth is going on? "Are you sure that’s what you are sensing?"
"Yes, I am sure. It is what I am sensing," she said and I gripped the handle of the katana and dew it out of the scabbard.
"Time to move in," I said and she nodded. I slowly opened the door of the rooftop and right before we stood exactly what Ai told me.
A boy and a cat.
That’s all.
This has to be some serious joke. Is it another one of the boys who think they can make me break up with Ai? Now instead of handsome and athletic ones, even the pretty and cute ones want to try.
Honestly, he was a cute and pretty-looking guy with white hair and light blue eyes. The cat on his shoulder was white in color with the same eyes which almost made me believe that the cat was the feline form of the boy.

"Were you the one who called us here?" I got straight to the point sheathing my sword. I wasn’t really worried about him saying anything about the weapon because I was going to have Ai remove his memory of all this but before that, we had to make sure what his intention was.
"Yes, I was," he said with a soft face and looked at us. Those light blue eyes as if throwing bubbles of cuteness at us. I swear I have never seen a guy this cute in my entire life. "No need to sheath your weapon Shi- Kazuki-senpai."
"Senpai? Are you a first year I believe then?" I asked and he nod his head. "So, what did you call us here for?"
"Now that I was finally back to school after this long. I wanted to test you," he said and looked at Ai. "You both actually."
"Hmm? Test what?" I asked and a little smile formed on his face.
BOOM
Before I could know it, I got hit by a hard punch straight in my jaw rattling my brain and making it bounce around in the cerebrospinal fluid. I was sent flying right into the barricading that was made to prevent kids from accidentally tripping off the rooftop and falling down on my side. Since my brain was still dazed, everything around us got slower and my senses got knocked out of my body for a second. I have never been punched this hard in my entire life.
I looked up and saw the guy throwing punches and kicks at Ai and she was trying to dodge every single one of his blows. I had no idea who this kid was and what he wanted but he had his intention clear. He wanted to fight us for some reason I wasn’t sure of just yet.
I got up on my feet with the help of the scabbard but the boy appeared right before me aiming a kick at my scabbard letting me fall off balance and another kick was delivered at my chest throwing me at the other side of the rooftop. This honestly knocked some sense back in my body and I quickly reacted to the punch aimed right at my temple and rolled out of the place seeing the floor having a crater where we made contact.
I got up quickly and readied my weapon but instead of waiting for him, I decided to charge him myself. I held the blade and scabbard in my usual stance but got low and focused on him and with one strong kick to the ground, I moved right at him. Within less than some milliseconds, I was face to face with the guy and as soon as the scabbard was about to make contact with his neck, he bent down quickly dodging it much to my surprise, and sent me flying up in the air with an uppercut aimed at my jaw.
I fell back on the ground yet again getting honestly bored of being beaten up again and again by the guy. I looked to my side seeing Ai on the ground…motion…less…
He didn’t just dare do that.
How dare he.
How dare he.
How fucking dare he.
"You’ll pay," I said in an angry low voice.
"No Kazuki-senpai. Do not let your anger take over," I heard a voice whispering right in my ear and I moved my eyeballs to the side seeing the guy already standing there. "If you don’t control your anger. You will make rash decisions and this will also lead to your demise. I would advise you to not do it if you are going to fight against five or six-hundred-year-old nobles. That will lead to your death."
"Who are you?" I asked the boy calmly.
"I’m your junior senpai. My name is Ichikawa Kota. Nice to meet you."
BAM
THUD
What on earth is this person?
