Pain.

Keitaro, first person. This was inspired by a dream I had one day in class. Keitaro has had enough.

------------------------

It seems as though today, was going to be an ordinary day, I was on my way to Naru's room with Mutsumi, and get our little study groud, or "The three fighting Ronins" as Mutsumi liked to call us. As I opened the door, there was Naru, the woman I had admired for so long, she was there, all wrapped up in her books, studieng like there was no tommorow. "You two are late, what took you guys so long huh?" She asked us while we took our places, and materials out. "I just got a little carried away while I was chatting with Mutsumi. Its all my fault, sorry." "Figures Keitaro, I didn't meanto blame Mutsumi, just you, I knew that you'd be the one who held her up you idiot." Her reply was as hurtfull as all of her insults in the past. I just sighed and got started. A few hours passed, and we all were, a bit tired from all the studying, especially Mutsumi who had already fallen asleep on the kotatsu. I figured I shoud let her sleep since she was the one who worked the hardest out of us. I turned back to the problem I was stuck on. It was challenging, but never the less, I tried the problem, it took me three or four tries but I got it. The next problem was even harder than before. I tried countless times, using different methods, but time and time again I still couldn't get the problem right. My only option was to ask for help. "Uhh. Naru, can you help me with this problem, please? I've tried it more than I could count already, yet I still couldn't get the answer." She gave no reply at all."Umm... Naru? Can you help me?" Still no answer. As they said third times the charm. "Naru.. Naru can you please help me?" I was hoping for an answer this time but still, nothing came from her mouth but a grunt. "Naru can you- "Do it yourself! You can't expect me to answer every hard question that comes your way! Your pathetic Keitaro! You could never finish the entry exam, unless I was next to you, and held your hand through the whole thing! You are the most incompitent, idiot I have ever seen!" Usually, I wouldn't mind a comment like that, normaly, but this wasn't the first time someone has done that to me, even before I came here.

Flash back - third person-

Keitaro had come home with his report card, he thought his parents wouldn't have minded if he hd one bad grade. He felt very proud of himself. He went to show his parents.The look on their faces were far from proud."Keitaro we expected more from you! I thought that you would do better!" said his mom "I'll do better next time!" "Keitaro, this is the last time your going to get this okay? If you don't we're going to give you to the monks! They could dicipline you into a better kid! Keitaro you useless idiot, you are a burden to this family!" His Father was drunk and blinded with rage. Keitaro ran to his room, locked the door and sat in the corner of his room. The words of his father kept repeating themselves in his head.

End of flashback.

Those words she said, normally it was nothing, but today, something in me snapped. I quickly gathered up my things and my books. I headed for the door and caught Kitsune by the door as I oppened it. "Uh Keitaro its time to eat now. He he." "I'm not hungry, please tell Shinobu thanks for making dinner but I don't really feel like eating tonight." I tried to reply to herwith aslittle anger in my voice, but when Naru said those things to me, I suddenly remembered all the things they have all done to me. I kept it in for two years, but now it seems as thoughI want to let it all out. I held myself back as much as I can. I made my way to my room and shut the door.

Kitchen

"Um Kitsune, where is Sempai?" "He said he wasn't hungry and went to his room, he and Naru had another fight, well it was mostly Naru shouting at him." Motoko came in and overheard what Kitsune said. "That weak foolis just having another dramatic day. He's just an idiot, don't mind him, besides he probably did something to make him deserve that." "Thats just the thing Motoko, all Keitaro did was ask Naru to help him with a problem." Shinobu set the table and called Su, and Sarah to come down

With Keitaro

I started to pack my things into my suitcase, all my things, I striped my room until it was nothing but dust and the furniture. I took myphoto clubbook and left it on the table. I put my hat and my rain coat since it was raining outside. I had given my umbrella to Naru the last time it rained so I had no other alternative but a hat. I took my suit case and came down into the living room. As I came dow I hard Narus voice behind me. "So thats it? You were going to leave with out telling us? Its not like I mind, you've done this loads of times, go ahead and run away, we all know that your coming ba- "Shut up already Naru! I've had enough of your crap! Every single frickin day I try to help you and everyone else, I bust my ass every single minute I'm in this hell hole! I try time and time again to be nice, holding everything, all of my angerback! And you people luanch me into the air like I'm some kind of toy! Its beyond me how I'm still alive!Screw you! Forget everything we've been through! I'm leaving!" I let my anger get the better of me but I couldn't stop, I had to let my anger out some time, I can't keep it bottled up forever. Just then Motoko and and the others came in. Naru fell to her knees. "Keitaro you jerk!" She spat at me. She ran towards me and threw a punch, I simply moved to the side and dodged her punch. "Keitaro you Bastard! I will never let you do that to Naru! I'll kill you!" Motoko rushed at me with her sword. "You want to kill me? Fine!" I ran towards her and spread my arms out. As she came closer she stoped and backed away. "I can't take living here anymore, all of you abused me here, physicaly and mentaly! The only person who actually cared about me was Shinobu! I'm leaving!" I turned and and picked up my suit case. "How about our promise to each other!" I turned my head and saw Naru on her knees crying. "Naru... Its not worth going through this anymore." With that I left and headed for the train station.
