Chapter 8: Sensation

*At home*

"I finally get to sleep in my own home, it is a bit lonely though." Haruki closes his eyes to sleep.

Haruki has his own home where he lives alone. But he sleeps at Hiroshi's home when he feels lonely.

*After hours of sleep*

*Yawn* "I think I slept way too much for my own good. I should call Hiroshi to make sure he's alive!"

*Ring ring* Hiroshi answers with a raspy voice, "Hello~?"

Haruki laughs, "HAHA, Helloooo~ how did you sleep?"

"I slept fine, how did you sleep?" Hiroshi scoffs half awake.

Haruki gets out of bed to get ready for school, "Well I slept good, but we need to get ready for school. That was the main reason of me calling you."

"HOLY F***! YOU SHOULD'VE WOKE ME UP EARLIER!" Hiroshi yells jumping out of bed.

"See you in a bit!" Haruki laughs hard while he finishes getting ready.

*Ends call*

"Okay now I need to go to my first class." Haruki starts walking out the door after brushing his teeth.

*At the front of the school*

"Hey Hiroshi it's been so long!" Haruki smiles wide with excitement.

"Yea yea. I'm upset because I didn't get enough sleep. Let's just go to class." Hiroshi starts walking slowly.

As Hiroshi and Haruki are walking to class they pass a lot of people. But a certain girl caught Haruki's eye as he saw her before he passed. 'Have I seen her before?' Haruki thinks lightly. 'Ah it's fine.'

Hiroshi looks at Haruki and starts laughing, "Hey if it wasn't me looking at you I would've thought you'd seen a ghost or something. BAHA!"

The girl looks at Haruki as they walk by, she starts to feel her skin crawl and her hairs on her neck stand. The chills going through her body as he walks by. Yet he's smiling and being happy.

'The aura of a true monster.' She thinks to herself. She feels the darkness that he hides so well. But a single glance at him makes her feel scared.

She looks down, 'he's scary.' She says to herself again.

She then glances at his one more time and sees a monster. A yokai in true form, Haruki's true form. The aura around him suffocating the air. Her lungs feel clenched as she tries to swallow.

She then closes her eyes for a split second then sees Haruki smiling again. 'That man, he looks scary but for some reason… I feel like I want to protect him from himself.'

She then walks to class after he's out of sight. She sees him in the same class..

"Hello everyone, my name is Rei. Please treat me well." Rei speaks softly but loud enough for everyone to hear.

A new student in the class.
