Yumoto stood from his chair and ran to the boy. "You!"

The Student Council smiled as they watched the duo and Akoya watched as the blonde boy's hand went up...and smacked Araki across the face!

"How dare you leave me, Keishi Araki!" Yumoto hissed and froze as he realized what he had done, "Oh-oh my goodness! I...I apologize!"

Araki laughed, "Still the same from when the last time I left for a long period of time."

Yumoto scoffed, "Took you long enough! First, this...thing grabs me and then suddenly I get told I'm royalty!"

Araki sighed, "Yumoto..."

"Oh, don't Yumoto me." Yumoto giggled, "You're so funny."

Araki groaned, "Yumoto...you have to be careful."

Yumoto looked at Kinshiro, "What does he mean?! I thought that clan thingy was gone!"


"No..." Kinshiro stood, "This clan is deadly."

"How?!"

"How?" Kinshiro groaned, "They want you dead. How isn't that deadly?"

"Oh, it is deadly then!" Yumoto giggled and Kinshiro groaned, "Keishi-san, may I please talk with you somewhere else? It is over private matters."

Araki nodded and Yumoto stood, "Well, I'm going to go outside, I'm bored staying cooped up in here all day, president."

"Fine, if you need anything, do not hesitate to find us."

Yumoto nodded and watched as the duo left and the boy went out to the courtyard.

He sighed as he stood under a tree, he looked up at the sky and whispered, "I hate when they breathe down my neck!"

The boy frowned as he heard people walking past him. He shook his head as he swore he heard someone mutter his name.

He decided to walk away from that, he just wanted to be alone in his thoughts, school was over anyway, so what would a little walk do?

----
"Do you see the target?"

"Yes, and what perfect luck, he's alone."

"The heir won't stand a chance, we'll make sure of it. I mean there are five of us, one for each limb to hold down and one to do the blow! It'll be super easy."

"Perfect! Now...uhhh, how will we lure him over?"

"Easy, one of us will stop him and pretend to ask for directions."

"Okay, then you do it."

"Oh fine!"

The five of them walked forward and pushed the one clan member out.

----

Yumoto sighed as he walked, he didn't know where he was walking to, he just wanted to be out.

He cried out as someone rammed into him and he fell onto the ground, "Hey!" He cried and the person who bumped him frowned, "Oh, I'm terribly sorry!"

Yumoto looked up at the man, he had dark blue hair and held his hand out. The boy took it and was helped up.

Yumoto sighed softly to himself, "Thank you."

"No, I apologize." The man spoke, "For I was the one who hit you."

"No, I should have been watching as well." Yumoto replied and bowed slightly to the man, "I really need to be going now, but thank you again for helping me up."

The man smirked as Yumoto walked away and he snapped his fingers.

Yumoto gasped as four sets of hands grabbed him and he cried out as he was forced onto the ground. "Let go of me!" He screamed, and one looked at another, "Shut him up!"

Yumoto began to thrash about and the man that bumped into him, shoved a towel into his mouth. "Hold him still. For the sake of our clan, you must die, heir."

Yumoto's eyes widened and he tried to free himself as the man pulled out a sickle.

"Such a fitting death for you."

Yumoto screamed into the towel in his mouth and the men holding him down, pushed him onto his stomach.

"You were so stupid to go alone, heir." The man smirked, "Our leaders will be oh-so very pleased with us killing you."

Yumoto looked up at the man in horror as he held the sickle skyward. "Long live the heir!" He laughed and swung it down. Yumoto screamed and closed his eyes as he did.

He gasped as he heard the screeching of two blades hitting one another and heard one clatter to the ground.

"So, you think you're so tough until a man brings out his sword!" a voice barked and Yumoto gasped as he saw Araki standing there.

"Tungsten!" He cried out as he was finally able to pull the towel out of his mouth.

Tungsten growled as he slashed at the clan members and they screamed as they were struck down.

The final clan member growled as Tungsten pointed the blade at him, "You were the one who wanted to kill him...so I'll keep you alive." Tungsten hissed, "Go tell your leaders that I'm here and will never let you touch the heir."

"Fine, Tungsten...there are many of us. We will never stop!"

Tungsten growled, "Leave before I change my mind!"

Yumoto gasped as he disappeared and Tungsten grabbed his hand, "Scarlet..." He gasped out and hugged the boy quickly, "You mustn't run off again."

"A-Araki-kun..." Yumoto whimpered and clung to Tungsten's uniform. "I just...I want to be free!"

He looked up, "When I close my eyes, I feel like I go away to where I used to be at! I can't stand being without...without my guardians!"

He burst into sobs, "I-I want Cerulean! I want Epinard to tell me everything is alright and he'd hold me and tell me that Papa was wrong to send me away and that he'd always love me!"

"Yumoto..." Tungsten whispered, "You...you must know they will awaken."

"I want them now!" Yumoto cried, "I want Vesta and Sulfur! I want them to scold me for my grades being so bad!"

"Yumoto!"

"NO! I want Cerulean and Epinard! I want my friends!"

Tungsten groaned, "Yumo-chan!"

"No!" Yumoto hissed and pushed him away, "I can't do this!"

"Yes, you can!"

"NO!" Yumoto yelled, "I'm not going with you, I'm going home!"

Tungsten groaned, "Please, let me walk you!"

"Why!?" Yumoto cried, "You and the Student Council have caused enough for me!"

"You were happy to see me!"

"Yes! I was, but now..." Yumoto looked away, "Now I'm not so sure..."

Tungsten sighed, "I...I apologize."

Yumoto looked down, "I'm sorry. I-I must go."

The boy tore from Tungsten and the silver haired boy groaned as a lavender cat appeared on shoulder, "Oh, Ara-chan..." he whimpered, "The heir is so hardheaded."

"Hiro-san..." Tungsten muttered, and the kitty rubbed his face into his. "Don't worry, he's just upset."

"I know..."

"Oh wow! Yufuin-senpai got the highest score again!"

"How cool!"

"All he ever does is sleep, how does he do it?!"

Yufuin En sighed as he heard the students, he was so used to this now. He looked at Atsushi, who was busy reading. The boy shrugged and decided to go nap again in the club room.
