Running Without Thinking

I made it to the first floor and headed to the dorms. I was about to walk into my room when felt someone grab me by the collar of my shirt.

"Where do you think you are going, John?", I immediately recognize that voice as Taka's.

"What could you possibly want now, Taka? Was I running in the halls again? Or maybe my tie is a little crooked so I'm out of dress code?", I growl at him.

"Well, your school uniform is a bit of a mess, but that's not the problem. Did you forget that you belong in detention right now?!", Taka yells.

"W-Wait, you were serious about that detention?!", I ask with a shocked expression.

"Correction, I was serious about both detentions. Or did you forget the second detention you received for being late to class?", Taka smirks.

I am going to kill you. I am totally going to **** you right here and now. I don't even care about the consequences.

"Now come along or do you want to receive a third detention?", Taka asks as he starts marching away.

Oh you can go fuck yourself!

I shove my hands in my pockets and follow Taka while cursing him underneath my breath. He leads me to a classroom on the first floor of the school.

"Here we are! This classroom is used fir detention everyday after school", Taka explains, "I suspect you will become familiar with this room in due time".

Now you sound like Kyoko.

We enter the room and I see that there are three other students in there. One I recognize immediately is Mondo Owada. I'm sure a guy like him probably manged to piss off Taka with easy. But, I'm not familiar with the other two. The first is a short boy with blonde hair and a baby face. The other is a girl with glasses, intense red eyes and silver hair that's in two braids. But the most interesting thing about her is the item on her back. It looks like some kind of bag.

Taka looks at the girl with a confused expression on his face, "Um, Peko, you were not given a detention. What are you doing here?"

The boy sitting next to Peko sighs, "That's what I was trying to tell her! But she wouldn't listen"

"I can not leave the side of my young master. I must be here to protect him when necessary", Peko explains with a stern look on her face.

Taka and I both give Peko's "young master" a confused and concerned look.

"I-Its not like that! Stop looking at me like I'm a fucking monster, you bastards!", the boy growls.

"Anyway, go ahead and take a seat John. The teacher will arrive here shortly", Taka says as he picks up and clipboard.

I get a quick look at the clipboard and see it's a list of all the people that should be in detention. Seems a few people are missing.

"Fuyuhiko, where is your little sister? She is supposed to be here today", Taka asks the boy next to Peko.

"How the hell would I know? That brat isn't my problem!", Fuyuhiko yells.

Taka shakes his head, "She'll get another detention if she ditches today. Hey, Mondo and John, do either of know where Junko Enoshima and Mukuro Ikusaba are?"

"Sorry, but I have no clue where either of those crazy chicks are. I'm trying my hardest to avoid them", Mondo explains.

"I haven't seen them since this morning", I shrug as I take a seat next to Mondo.

Taka frowns, "Then it looks like I have to track those three down. Please remain seated until the teacher arrives. You will be permitted to leave in one hour", he says before he places the clipboard on the desk and leaves.

I should still have time to clean up my room for Sayaka, once this whole thing ends. Might as well try to enjoy myself.

"Hey John, now that Taka's gone, how about we sneak out of here?", Mondo asks with a smirk on his face.

"I don't know. When the teacher arrives they're gonna know we're missing", I explain.

Mondo stands up and walks to the desk, "The teachers they send to watch the students in detention never actually know who's gonna be here till they look at the clipboard. So, if the clipboard just happens to disappear, the we have no problem", Mondo says as he takes the piece of paper from the clipboard and stuffs it in his pocket.

"But, what about when Taka comes back with the other students? Won't he notice we're missing?", I ask.

"I wouldn't count on that guy coming back anytime soon. There's no way in hell he's gonna be able to find Natsumi", Fuyuhiko laughs, "Even if he does, that girl will definitely put up a fight"

"Come on, stop being such a pussy! Let's go!", Mondo yells.

"Okay, fine!", I stand up and walk towards the door.

"Hey Fuyuhiko, are you and your girl coming or what?", Mondo asks.

"We'll stay, would be a bit too suspicious if everyone left", Fuyuhiko says.

"Suit yourself, let's go John", Mondo says as we leave the room.

"Hey Mondo, who the heck was that guy anyway?", I ask as we walk through the halls.

"You really don't know? Ever heard of the Kuzuryu clan?", Mondo asks.

"Well of course I have! Wait, don't tell me.....that guy is apart of the Kuzuryu?!?!" I ask with a stunned expression.

"He's the heir to the whole fucking clan. He's Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu the Ultimate Yakuza", Mondo laughs.

That shorty is the heir to the Kuzuryu clan? The biggest crime organization in all of Japan! I know who to not piss off!

"Mondo! John! What are two doing?!", we hear an angry Taka yell from down the hall.

"Shit! Run for it John!", Mondo yells as he starts running.

We both begin running up the steps to the second floor with Taka right behind us. He starts yelling something about no running in halls. We make it to the third floor and the fourth floor but Taka is still following us. Before we reach the fifth floor steps, I dart into a classroom.

Taka continues to chase after Mondo and heads up to the fifth floor.

Sorry Mondo, but I'm sick and tired of dealing with Kiyotaka.

I chuckle and walk out of the classroom with a large smile on my face. But, I hear the sound of arguing. Reminds me of when I caught Kyoko arguing with her dad. But it's coming from a different room this time.

Is everything okay? I should probably find out where the arguing is coming from.

I walk around the floor and find that the arguing is coming from the music room. I peer inside from the window and see two girls arguing. One girl has long blonde hair while the other has long green hair. The green haired one is holding some object and walking up to the blonde girl. The blonde seems to be panicking.

Wait....is that some kind of weapon! Shit there's no way.....is she about to attack that girl! W-What do I do?! By the time I find a teacher, it will be too late! I can't just stand here! Damn it!

I shove the door open and run into the room as the green haired girl raises her weapon.

Damn it, I can't be too late!

Without even thinking I run infront of the blonde girl and use my arms to shield both her and myself from the weapon.

The green haired girl slams the weapon, which seems to be some kind of bag with a heavy object in it, into my arms, sending great pain through out my whole body.

I yell out in pain before I look at the blonde girl, "H-Hurry up and get the hell out of here!".

The girl hesitates before running at full speed out the room.

The green haired girl looks at me with both a shocked and horrified look on her face.

"What are you doing?! You're ruining everything!", she yells, "She got away because of you!"

"W-Why would you do something like that?", I groan.

I've lost all the feeling in both my arms. I look at them to see they are bleeding badly. I've never been able to handle blood, especially not my own. I feel a cold shiver make its way through my body before I fall to the ground, ****.
