Death Sword Scroll (May get Mature)

"They don't let you follow your dreams" she answered. Soon a bell rang just when she was about to throw the ball. "Well, I guess it's time to go back to class. What to play again tomorrow?" She asked with a smile.

Misaki nodded and smiled at her before he left for class. Now school did not seem so bad anymore. Misaki was the first to be inside the classroom, eager to finish this day so he could maybe see Muki when they all left.

About an hour later the final bell rang and all the kids were let out of the classroom. Muki sat outside of the school as she was told to wait there until her parents picked her up. She did this every day so she got to see everyone run off and play games in the streets while she had to sit there waiting.

Misaki left the classroom looking for Shiro who had promised to pick him up. However, the elder was nowhere to be seen so Misaki decided to wait at the gates. On his way he noticed Muki and ran over to her, grinning. "Hey", he said, smiling at her. "Are you waiting for someone?", he asked, sitting down next to her.

“Yes” she said looking down. “My parents make me wait here until they come to get me. Are you waiting for someone?” She looked at Misaki when saying the last sentence.

Misaki nodded. "My brother promised to pick me up", he said proudly.
"Where do you live? Is it nice there?", Misaki asked, letting his legs swing.

"Over there." She said smiling, pointing at a house at the end of the block. It was a nice looking house, painted, a nice looking lawn, and two stories.

Misaki raised his eyebrows. "It's so close... why don't you just walk there?", he asked, frowning. "It's not like someone's gonna steal you on your way there", he added and laughed.

She laughed too. "I know but my parents..." she soon stoped laughing as she looked at a man standing in front of them. "I got to go" she said. She got up from where she was sitting in walked over to the man. She looked back at Misaki and did a little wave good-bye as she walked behind the man.

Misaki kept looking at Muki while she was leaving. When she was out of sight, Misaki kept waiting for Shiro - who did not come. Did he forget what he had promised? Maybe he did not find the school? Misaki hoped nothing had happened and waited for a long time. He did not remember the way home and became nervous when he noticed time pass by.

Tsukiakara opened the door to the apartment. He couldn’t see Shiro or Misaki. Maybe they were still at the school. So he decided to check the school.

When Tsukiakara finally came to the school Misaki was crying, Shiro had never forgotten him before. He ran towards the other boy, hiding his face in his shirt. "He promised", Misaki sobbed, holding on to Tsukiakara. All those mean people and now this. The whole day was a mess.

Hmm this was odd. What kept Shrio? Did he abandoned Misaki with no note or good-bye? Or did something happened to him? There was no point in searching for him, Tsukiakara didn’t even know where to begin looking. “It’s ok Misaki” he tried to reassure the boy. The important thing now was to take care of Misaki and hope that Shiro was all right. “Let’s go home” he said to Misaki.

Misaki wiped his face and walked home with Tsukiakara. If Shiro was not here he definitely had a good reason for it. "Don't you know where he is?", the boy asked.

Tsukiakara shook his head no. "How was you day at school?" He said tring to change the subject.

"I hate school", Misaki sulked. "Everyone's mean and they say I live with rats. I only like this girl, Muki, but her parents are weird. I don't want to go back", Misaki said and shook his head.

“Maybe, I can fix that.” Tsukiakara said. “Here come with me” He said. He took a left, not heading to the apartment.

"How?", Misaki asked, not sure whether he would like the change.

They arrived in front of a bath house. “Well, we could start by getting you a bath. Maybe the kids won’t make fun of you as much.”

Misaki was nervous, he had never been to a bathhouse - and he was not able to swim.
"Are you going to come with me?", he asked, holding on to Tsukiakara's hand.

“Sure” Tsukiakara said. He was actually looking forward to a nice soak in a hot tube. He had spent the day on an exhausting D-Ranked mission walking some upper crust’s dog all around town.

Misaki nodded, he looked stern as though this was going to be a very dangerous, difficult mission he was looking forward to and not a relaxing bath. Taking a deep breath he entered the building, still holding Tsukiakara's hand. "Where do we have to go?", he whispered.

“Just follow me” He said. They went inside and he paid the money to the man behind the des. They were soon brought to a private hot tube. Tsukiakara took off his shirt but left his pants on and stepped into the warm water.

Misaki did just what Tsukiakara did and followed him, undressing only his upper body as the elder did but hesitated to step inside. "Is it very deep?", he asked, worried.

"Not really." Tsukiakara siad as he sat down.
