Nioh Masaharu-My hero

/Nioh/
I was walking down the corridors normally like I always did. Then, I bumped into somebody.

“Ow… Can you watch where you are going?” I asked as I was rubbing my head.

“I’m so sorry…” It was a girl and she stood and ran away.

“Hey, wait! What’s your name!?” I called but she was gone.

I did not even know how she looked like. I shrugged and walked to my classroom. I was settling down in my seat and I noticed that a new student was coming in. It was a girl. She gave the teacher a slip of paper and the teacher nodded.

“Alright, students, this is Ai Amaya. Please take care of her as she will be joining our class.”

The girl lifted up her head and she looked beautiful. She had long hair of black with auburn highlights and a pair of navy blue eyes. She bowed and said nothing. She was having a faint tint on her face. She looked cute that way. There was an empty seat beside me and Amaya was walking to me.

She sat beside me and looked down on the table. She took out her books and got ready for lessons. During the whole time, I caught myself staring at her.

“Nioh… Nioh!” I snapped out of my daydreaming and I saw an angry face of my teacher.

“Oh boy…” I muttered.

“Stand outside of the classroom now!” He yelled and pointed to the door.

I muttered something bad under my breath and walked out of the classroom I stood outside and thinking about Amaya. I knew that I have only met her. It must be my mind playing tricks on me. I leaned against the wall with my hands on my pockets. I stared up to the ceiling.

After a few hours, the lessons were over and everybody came out of the classroom. I went back in and I saw Amaya was still sitting over there. I packed up my things and she stood up. She passed me a piece of paper and I was surprised at her actions.

I took the paper and it was all the homework that needed to be done. She looked down on the floor with her hands holding together.

“I’m sorry…” She bowed and left for lunch.

“Hey wait, Amaya-chan!” I called but she was already gone.

Damned it! Why must she walk away whenever I called for her? I hoped to find her later. I walked to the canteen and ate my lunch. Then, I saw she was eating her lunch all alone. She was a quiet girl and I walked to her. I sat beside her and she looked at me with impassive face but with a tint of sadness.

/Amaya/
My classmate, Nioh, sat beside me. I wondered what he wanted. I looked down and he started to eat beside me. I looked at him confusedly and he smiled. I felt a bit weird in my heart like having butterflies in my stomach. I continued to eat and Nioh kept moving towards me.

I looked down and he lifted my head up. I stared into his green orbs and I was blushing. I pushed his hand away slowly. I stood and walked away from him. I was afraid of boys as I was almost taken by them. I was too afraid to talk to anyone. I changed to this school just to escape from them.

I went back to the classroom and sat there. I lay my head on the table and have my eyes closed half way. I was trying not to doze off.

/Nioh/
Amaya just left. What was wrong with me? Why did I bother her anyway? Then, I saw my friend, Yagyuu, walking to me.

“Hey Yagyuu.” I greeted.

“Hello and where have you been?” He asked.

“Nowhere. I’m here all along.”

“Good, and did you know there was a new student came here?”

“Yeah, I do. It was a girl.”

“I see. Well, I have to go.” He said and left.

“Weird gentleman.” I muttered.

I walked back to my classroom and found Amaya was lying on the table. I did not want to bother her now. I sat in my seat and she was sleeping. She looked adorable this way. Then, the teacher came in. I shook Amaya up and she woke up. She nodded to motion me thank you. I smiled and she looked at the table blushing.

After a few hours, the school was over and Amaya was packing up. She walked out of the classroom and just nice that I did not have any tennis practice. I followed Amaya.

/Amaya/
I was walking back home and I felt suddenly, I was grabbed from behind and dragged into the alley way. I was trying to scream. My bag was dropped on the floor and the kidnapper still dragging me to somewhere. I was keep trying to scream.

/Nioh/
I was following Amaya and she was gone. I looked around and she did disappear. I saw a bag was on the ground and I picked it up. I opened up and it was Amaya’s bag. I kept running and found a shoe was on the ground. It must be Amaya. She had been kidnapped. Then, I saw a man dragging somebody and I saw it was Amaya.

“Amaya!” I yelled.

The man looked to me and he took out a knife from his pocket. I dodged it as he charged to me and quickly carried Amaya away from this place. She was crying.

“Amaya, don’t worry. I’ll get you away from that kind of guy.” I said and kept running.

I kept running to my house and placed Amaya down on the couch. I was panting so hard. Amaya was looking down and looking sorry as well. I sat beside her and she looked away.

“You shouldn’t have saved me…” She started.

/Amaya/
“You shouldn’t have saved me…” I started.

“Why are you so quiet?” He asked.

“Huh?”

“You don’t talk in the school. Are you avoiding someone?”

“Yes, many of them.”

“Who?”

“Boys. I was transferred to the school because I almost lose my body…” I held myself tightly.

“I’m sorry… I didn’t mean to…”

“It’s ok…” I hid my eyes behind my fringes.

Then, Nioh embraced me tightly. I did not know how to trust him. I was struggling inside. I did not how it feels when liking somebody. Nioh released me but I was still in his arms. I blushed and he chuckled.

“Do you know how it feels when you like somebody?” He asked.

“No…” I shook my head.

“Like this.” He held my hand and brought it to his heart.

His heart was thumping very quickly and he held my hand to his cheek. He was very red and hot. He embraced one more time and I was lying on his chest. I snuggled into his chest and it felt warm. He lifted my chin and kissed me in the lips. I was surprised but I relaxed and kissed him back.

It was passionate and gentle. Both of us parted our lips and gazed into each other’s eyes.

“Amaya, I know it’s a little early, but will you be my girlfriend?” He asked.

“Nioh…” I trailed off as he placed a finger on my lips.

“Not Nioh anymore. It’s Masaharu.” He smiled.

“Okay, I will, Masaharu.” I embraced him, “My hero…”
