「新しい人・隠れた過去」
「A new person, A hidden past」

❆❆❆❆❆

Have you ever wonder how some people just suddenly appear in your life and be kind to you? Wondering what do they think about us when we first met each other. It's not like we have the ability to read people's mind. We all wonder what people think of us. First impression. You ever wonder what's your friend's first impression towards you. They won't tell unless you ask them by yourself.

But some of first impression may hurt and some first impression can make yourself happy.

A new person come to your life without your expectations. A new kind of friendship will born. Is this a good sign? A new hope? Faith? Or trust that will end with betrayal?

"So-Soraru-san..."

The raven hair blinks as he sees the two. Amatsuki immediately stand up by himself and walk towards the two.

"Sakatan, Mafu-kun, let's go."

The two share look before they nod, knowing if they stays there longer, something worst will happen if their certain friend isn't with them. Especially if everyone start to look at them by in disgust.

"Wait!"

The three of them stop and look at the raven hair. Soraru rub his neck, "Thanks for earlier, Mafu-kun." The albino's eyes widen. Sakata raise his eyebrow and Amatsuki look at Mafu. The albino immediately grab Amatsuki and Sakata by their wrist and run away. Soraru's thank towards the albino not just surprised the three, everyone who's there are also shock that the raven hair thanked the albino.

"What the heck is happening?"

"I don't know. But that newbie just thanked him."

"Those monsters don't deserve someone as handsome as that guy, thank them."

"Didn't you see how one of them make him fell?"

"Not to mention, that garbage boy make him carry those heavy plastic bags. Poor him."

"Should we teach them a lesson?"

"Yeah."

"But what if he found out?"

"Heh, Urata isn't going to stick with them for the whole time."

"But... He's in the boxing club."

"Who cares. Boxing or not, I'll teach them a lesson. Come on guys. Let's find those monsters."

Three of the male students walk away trying to find the three. Soraru stare at them with disbelieve face. They never did anything wrong towards him. Why...

"What's going on here?!"

As someone shout, everyone immediately walk away from there leaving the raven hair stand there. A brunette with bright emerald eyes glare at each students who walk pass him. Scoffing, he make his way towards Soraru.

"You must be new here." Soraru turn to the shorter male. "The name's Urata. Mind telling me what the hell happened?"

"The three are in danger..."

"The three... What?!"

"They're in danger! We need to find them quick!"

Urata grit his teeth, "I swear I'm going to kill them for real if they hurt them again." He mumbled before start to run off with Soraru. Urata silently hope that they managed to find Amatsuki, Mafumafu and Sakata in time before they do.

••••

"Mafudon...."

"He ask me for help... I didn't expect him to thank me...."

The three hid inside an empty classroom. Mafu buried his face to his knees as Sakata and Amatsuki sit beside him. Mafumafu isn't mute. The albino's voice is sounded like a girl. He stop talking in public after he got bullied cause of it. He only talk when he's with his close friends and family.

"I never thought that he's being kind to us..."

"He said he's new here."

"Oh..." Amatsuki smile weakly, "That's why he help us... Because he doesn't know us..."

"But, can't we... He seems nice..." Sakata look down as he remembered the time Soraru told him about how worst Sakata's classmates is and how he willingly help Sakata with the trash. "I... I want to trust his words... Those words..."

"Sakatan..."

"I want to trust those kind words... But I'm afraid he will betray us or worst... I..."

"Same here, Sakata.... But... Can we even trust him? What if he's like the others? What if he will..."

"Um... Ama-chan, Sakatan... How did you two met him?" With a slow and soft voice, the albino ask the two. The brunette and redhead shared looks.

"He... Save me from falling off the stairs and.... He help me carrying the plastic bags... I tried to stop him but he insisted on helping me... He even said that my classmates are the worst..." Sakata pull his knees to his chest. "And he..." Tint of pink dust appear on Sakata's cheeks as he remember what the raven hair told him when he tell Soraru his name.

"I bumped into him... And then he helped me picked up the papers. I had asked him why.. and his answers is... Un... Believable..." Amatsuki stare to at his feet, "He... Told me that he noticed everyone in town... Is avoiding and ignoring us... He even said that, people shouldn't hate us just because of our eyes... Half of me telling that we should trust him. But half of me don't want to... It's like..."

"He suddenly come to our life and try his best to help us." The two sadly look at the albino. "I don't know if we can trust him or not... We all know to trust people isn't that easy. It take times but it doesn't mean we can fully trust them."

"Every trust we give... Only will end up with betrayal." Sakata laugh dryly.

"Fate really do hate us huh..." Amatsuki smile weakly, "Making us feels like a living dolls..."

Then the classroom's door slammed open. The three jumped and their eyes widen in fear.

"Found you~"

••••

Urata and Soraru run around the school to search for the three red-eye boys. Urata swear under his breath for multiple of times while Soraru keep on praying that they will find the three boys.

"Damn where are they."

"We should split up right now."

"Why I haven't thought about that earlier... Then you go that way and I go try to search for them at the next block."

"Okay."

The two parted ways and begin their search. Soraru frown. He didn't really finish round the school so it may be hard for him. But if it's for the three boys he just met, he will do his best to find them.

An uncertain feelings bloomed inside Soraru. He never felt this way before. He had this sudden urge to protect the three from any kind of danger in this world. He want to make the three happy. He want to see them smile. Soraru won't forgive himself if something happens to them and he will hurt the one who hurt the three.

After few minutes of running around the school, Soraru sigh in disappointment. "Where are they..." An uneasy feeling is now bloomed inside him. The urge to protect them getting stronger by the minute. Soraru give up on running and he started to walk around. He took a deep breath and look around if he can spot the three.

Before he knew, a scream can be heard. Soraru immediately turn to the source as another scream was heard before it went silent. The raven hair's heart skip beat. A sweat slip from his forehead before he immediately rush towards the room. A cried can be heard too. Two familiar voice are begging for someone to stop before someone or two people shut their mouth.

Feeling rage inside of him, Soraru kick the door open. His eyes widen as he sees what happened. Two of them are holding Amatsuki and Sakata in their hands while covering their mouth as the other one is choking Mafumafu. He can see tears streaming down the two's eyes as they see the albino is struggling to breath.

Soraru's face darken before he punch him on the face. The raven hair's action make everyone froze in shock. The albino cough violently as he hold his own neck. The two who hold Amatsuki and Sakata push them away and went to their friend's side.

"Mafudon..." Sakata weakly crawl towards the albino, "Are... Are you okay?" Mafu nod as a response. Sakata pull the poor albino to his chest, hug him slightly.

"The hell was that you newbie?!"

"You're choking him. Like hell I'm going to let you kill Mafu-kun. He had done nothing to you."

He scoffed, "You know nothing about them. Why would you side with him-"

"YOU!!!" A familiar voice shout, making the three bullies to flinch. A very angry and pissed Urata enter the classroom. His face darken more as he noticed the three boys are crying. He sent them a glare and grab one of them by the collar.

"Didn't I already told you to not lay a hand on them? Or you do want me to kill you? I'm gladly to do so if you want to die sooner."

The deathly glare from Urata make the male gulp in fear. No one. Definitely no one want to mess up with Urata. He's the scariest person in their school. Only with a single glare from him, it's enough to make the bullies stop bullying the trio.

"N-No..."

"Then... Don't ever get near these three again or I'll hunt you down. Do you copy me?" The male nod, "Good. Now get lost."

The three scrambled away from them. Urata scoffed before he went to the boys side. His face immediately soften and clearly filled with concerned.

"Are you three okay?"

"Yeah... Soraru-san saved us..."

"You know him, Sakata?"

The redhead shook his head, "I just met him this morning. He saved me from falling off the stairs-"

"WHO PUSHED YOU?!"

"U-Uwah!! Ura-san, please calm down!!"

"Like hell I'm going to calm down! Last time they pushed you and you almost broke your leg, Sakata!!"

Soraru stare at Urata. His eyes widen slightly as the short male gritted his teeth. Sakata look down and bit his lip. Urata took a deep breath and look at the other two.

"Did the others try to hurt you too?" They both shook their head and Urata sigh in relief. "Thank God..."

"Are you going to report this to the teachers?"

Urata look at the raven hair before scoffed, "All the teachers are damn useless. They won't do anything even if I report." Urata help the albino to stand up, "People in our town are all shit. They never give a damn care." Urata narrowed his eyes.

"Why..."

"Our eyes..." The two look at Amatsuki. The red-eye brunette sigh sadly, "The town hate us because of our eyes..."

"And......"

"No. Don't even start it. For how many times, it's not your fault."

"But..."

"No buts, Amatsuki, Sakata." The two look at the floor before Urata look at the albino, "Same goes to you, Mafumafu. It's non of your fault."

Soraru look at them. He wonder what they're talking about but he decided not to ask since Urata told the three, what happened in the past isn't their fault.

••••

"I can't believe this...."

"Yes."

"You going to leave us just because you give him a birth?!"

"Yes."

"What's wrong with you?! This is your son, our son!"

"He's... He's not my son..."

"Why..."

"I can't stand this pressure again... Just let me go..."

"I'm not letting you go... I will never."

A small redhead is peeking from the door. His huge bright red eyes look innocently at his parents. Since the two busy arguing back and forth, they failed to notice the small boy is there. Listen to their argument. But being a four years old, the redhead just listen to them without understand their argument. He frown a but as he sees his mother yelled at his father, crying.

"Sakata?" The small boy look up to see an older redhead call for him. "What are you doing here?"

"Mommy.... Cwy.... Why?"

The older redhead bit his lip before carefully take the small boy away from their arguing parents. Sighing at the small boy's innocent, he pick up Sakata and walk away.

"Mommy isn't crying, she's just... Maybe to tired from work."

"Onii-chan, why's... Mommy... Keep on saying Sakata's name... And... Saying... She hate Sakata? What hate mean? Is 'Hate' is someone's name?"

The older is shock to hear the sudden question from the small redhead. His bangs covered his eyes and he hug his little brother. He hug the smaller boy tighter.

"Onii-chan?"

Sakata tilted his head innocently as his big and wide red eyes stare at him. The older redhead stare at him sadly before he felt his eyes start to watered and tears fell from his eyes.

"Onii-chan? Why... You cwy? No sad. Sakata is hewe."

Chuckle sadly and he wipe his tears with his other hand. He make his way towards his own room and sit on the bed with Sakata in his lap. He took a small puppy doll and give it to the smaller redhead.

"Here. This is for you."

"Puppy!"

"Yes. His name is..." He paused before smile, "SakataKen." The smaller boy smile widely and begin to play with the stuffed animal.

"Kenchan. Can Sakata call him Kenchan?"

"Of course you can." He ruffled Sakata's hair. He chuckle as his little brother look happy as he play with the stuffed toy. But he then frown as he remembers Sakata's question. He put Sakata aside before he lay down and stare at the ceiling.

He... Will understand with his and our family's problem soon... He's still a kid... If only there's someone kind enough to accept Sakata... Please just please...

••••

"This is all your fault!!"

"My fault?! I'm not the one who give birth!!"

"But it's still yours!! If only you didn't insult them for having a son with red eyes! Now we have one because of you!!"

"Don't give your blame card to me! Keep it to yourself and it's also your fault for giving him a birth!!"

"I never expected we will have our son with those red eyes!!"

A small albino is hugging his knees as he heard his parents argue again. He tried his best to cover his ears to not listen to their arguments. Though he's just four years old, he somehow can guess that his parents are fighting because of him. Then the small albino notice his older brother signaling the albino to go to him.

The albino quickly stand up and run towards his brother, hug him and buried his face to the older chest.

"Nii-chan, I'm scawed..."

"There's nothing to be afraid of Mafu. As long as I'm here, no one will hurt my little brother."

"But, mom and dad... Fighting again... I'm scawed... Dad say he hate me..."

"Mafu, I'm sure dad's hate means he love you."

"But how can you be so suwe?"

"I know because, sometimes, if we hate someone, soon we will start to love them. Hate can turn into love. Notice how 'Hate' also had 'Love' in it?" Mafumafu look at his brother, clearly didn't understand a thing. The older one chuckle.

"You want me to explain for you?" The smaller boy nod, "Okay, so since your brother is such an intelligent and smart person, I'm going to explain to you what I mean by 'Hate' have 'Love' in it." He took a book from his desk and grab a pen. "We're going to spell 'Hate' using alphabet, so it will be k, i, r, a and i. So 'Hate'. Mafu, to spell 'Love', it's easy."

"Love?"

"Yes. Do you notice after this letter..." He point at the letter r, "..had a and i? So 'Love', right?" He grin as the albino look at the two letters that he just circled with sparkle eyes.

"You're right, nii-chan!! 'Hate' do have 'Love' in it!! You're amazing!!"

"Yup, I'm pretty smart you know." He laugh and ruffled his little brother's hair. The small boy just stare at the words. At least this will help Mafumafu forget about the argument earlier, right? He sigh and rub his face.

Why is this happening to Mafu... Why not me?

••••

"Are you sure you're going to take him with you?"

"Yes, because he's the only I have in my family. Red eyes or not, Amatsuki-kun is still my nephew."

"You are surely weird."

"Well, he doesn't have any place to stay after you know what happened that night."

"Oh..."

"He must be traumatized with it, since they're all murdered in front of him and he is just a four years old boy."

"I wish you luck. If you want help, just contacted me, okay?"

"Thank you. I hope there's more kind people like you exist, rather than others hate this innocent boy."

"The boy had done nothing. He deserves some love. Well, I gotta go, my son is waiting for me at home. I hope he will be friend with Amatsuki-kun."

"I'm sure he will. Goodbye then, have a safe trip."

A small brunette, who sits on the sofa, slowly look up as he noticed an older female walk towards him. She bent down to the smaller boy's height and smile softly at him.

"Amatsuki-kun... Are you okay staying with me?"

He nod, "I'm okay... But..."

"But?"

"Why did he kill them? Why did he kill my family?"

She froze. The smaller boy's bright red eyes look at her sadly. Her eyes watered and she hugs the poor boy.

"But... It's... Fine wight?"

"Fine?"

"Mommy... Daddy... Evewyone... will wive happily without me..."

"No Amatsuki.... Why do you think of that...?"

Her eyes watered as Amatsuki bit his lips, "They... Fighting again.... Befowe..." The boy start to sob. Pulling him to a hug, the older one kiss Amatsuki's forehead and sing a soft lullaby to him. The small brunette buried his face to her chest and continue to sob.

This boy... Shouldn't have to bare this pain... Why can't let him live like others?

••••

"AMATSUKI!!! MAFUMAFU!! SAKATA!!! LOOK OUT!!!"

••••

Urata gasped and he immediately sit up. Sweat are dropping from his forehead. He blink before he sigh. He glance at the clock showing that he still have three hours before the rest of his family to wake up. His eyes slowly move towards a certain picture.

"Years already passed..... Why now..... Why?"

••••

No words... But to be honest, the time when I wrote Sakata's past I listened to his cover. And in that lyrics, he had said "Don't leave me alone" damn I was crying that time-

Also, I made Urata is in boxing club cause it's a reference from his video. The one he talk with his older brother. He said that Urata once a member of a boxing club when our precious leader is still in highschool.

Well, I hope you guys enjoy this~

And I'm not very sorry for bullying the Precious Trio QwQ
