Irunara Chapter: 4
PG-13. There is a reason its pg-13. So if you are homophobic or emophobic, DO NOT READ THIS CHAPTER. Thank you! :D.
I looked at my arm and back at my friends. I fidgeted in my seat a bit and I drew in a deep breath. "Okay." I told them, "Well...its...kinda hard to say..." Luke leaned in close to my face and touched it lightly.
"Are you wearing cover-up?" he asked as he wiped away some of it revealing a bruise. Raiden pushed him away roughly with his cast arm and sat facing away from them. Luke turned Raiden towards him and looked at him directly in the eyes, "What happened to you Raiden?"
Raiden began to cry a bit, but quickly wiped it off, "A-Alex...you know my s-step-father?" Alex nodded slowly and then his eyes widened.
"Raiden! Don't tell me that your father did this to you!" Alex said worriedly. Raiden looked at him and nodded sadly. Luke looked at Raiden and said to him, "So...your arm was broken...because of him?" Raiden looked sadly at Luke.
"Yes! He did! And now I think that I'm so useless! What's the point of my life if no one likes me?" Raiden cried. He sat facing away from them on the leather blue bus seat.
"Stop talking about yourself that way!" Alex shouted at Raiden.
"But it's true." Luke said solemnly, "What's the point of life if no one likes you?" Raiden's eyes became larger as he listened to what he said.
"But..." Luke looked at Raiden and pulled him close to him in a light kiss. Alex just watched with his eyes wide as he saw something he would never have seen in his entire life but now. Raiden's eyes were wide as he looked at Luke and pulled away quickly as the bus pulled into the schoolyard. Raiden's eyes quickly flickered to see if anyone had seen, no one did thankfully. His expression became furious and sad as he looked at Luke, "I'm not going to be a damn faggot like my step-father told me I was!" He shouted. Raiden grabbed his backpack and dashed out of the bus into school.
Luke and Alex remained in the bus and Alex looked at Luke disgusted, "What the HELL were you thinking???" Luke wiped his mouth and said, "I didn't tell you yet, huh?"
"Tell me what? That you were gay?" Alex questioned.
"No...my Iruna... " Luke muttered. He stood up and grabbed his back pack before Alex and helped him stand up, "It's the ability to control people's emotions through a kiss...and, later on, his emotions would change to something different. I was hoping something happier. I couldn't choose what emotion because he broke away too soon. So his emotions and hormones are unpredictable right now..."
Alex stood up and shook his head, "We have to find Raiden before it is too late and he does something he'd regret." They both pushed through to rush of kids trying to get into their school and stopped before the divide, where it divided the different schools that the Class One Irunara(Also known as Highers), Two (Lowers) , and Human kids (Also known as Humans) went to.
"Hey-" Alex asked suddenly, "What class Irunara are you?"
Luke was looking through the crowd rushing into the Class One Irunara building. Its high building towering over them. His glance quickly returned to Alex and replied, "I'm a higher. I'll try to find Raiden, at lunch we'll keep an eye on him, got it?"
Alexander nodded and waved, "K' , see you later man." Luke waved back as he looked back towards the school. He dashed in and went to try to find Raiden before it was too late and he did something...'bad.' He frantically looked back and forth across the halls looking for his friend. Luke glanced nervously at his watch and saw that there was only 15 minutes before class.
"Crap...maybe Raiden already went to class...I hope."

Raiden was moving slowly in the hallways that were busy silently and quickly. His head was spinning and his heart was pounding like crazy. He ran into the bathroom and slammed open the wood door. It was a co-ed bathroom separated by a wall that covered the terminals. It was just as humid as always with water on the floor from the sinks. The tiles on the floor were cobblestone and the walls were a dull pale gray. Windows were open slightly, not helping the humidity factor of the room. No one was in the bathroom, but Raiden ran into one of the stalls, not bothering to lock the door. He put down the seat and sat down with his legs pulled up to his chest. He placed his cast on top of his knees and his other arm on top. His body began to quiver and as he cried be hiccuped a bit. Different thoughts were rushing though his head.
'Why? Does he love me? Is that why he did that? No, he hates me and I hate my family and Luke and Alex because they're all so evil! But...what if people actually care about me? NO! IM USELESS! Why can't I just disappear?!' he thought as he lifted his arms and held his shaking head. Tears were still running down his face as he cried. Heat began to rise towards his face as the humidity seemed to increase in the room. He wiped his face and looked at his wrists. His backpack was right by him and he looked at it. It slowly trembled towards it off the seat to grab it and open it. He pulled out his pencil pouch and took out a pair of scissors. They were old but we incredibly sharp.
'No...I can't do this!' he thought as he lowered it towards his wrist. 'Would anyone...even care if I did?' Slowly he began to do a cut on his wrist. He cringed a bit and looked at the blood slowly pooling on his arm. He did another cut slowly with his cast arm and stopped as he heard the door open.
"Raiden!" the voice called. Raiden's eyes widened and he held his breath, hoping they wouldn't enter his stall. He looked down at the floor and saw his backpack. "Shoot." He thought, "He's going to see my backpack!"
The feet traveled slowly until they came to a stop in front of his stall.
"Raiden?" he said. Raiden wiped the blood off the scissors and shoved it in the pocket of his jacket. The door slowly opened and Raiden saw Luke staring sadly at Raiden with his mouth agape slightly. He looked at him and pulled his arm to stand him up and cringed back when he felt something sticky. Blood was covering his hand. "Raiden...what are you doing to yourself?" Raiden covered his arm ashamed and looked away from Luke. Luke pulled Raiden out of the stall and towards a sink where he washed the blood off his cuts and sighed.
"You can't hurt yourself...it can be harmful and ruin yourself for the rest of your life." He frowned sadly as he washed the cut more. He then reached into his pocket and pulled out an old book cover and tore it into one long strip. He placed a small amount of toilet paper on the wound and wrapped the book cover around Raiden's wrist and tied it tightly in a makeshift bandage.
"I'm so sorry I...kissed you earlier. It's my Irunara, I can control people's emotions through a kiss. I was trying to make your emotions become happy instead of depressed... But if someone were to break away too soon they'd go mad and their emotions would run wild...so all this-" he held up Raiden's arm that was bandaged, "Is all my fault. But..."
"But?" Raiden questioned impatiently.
"The only way for me to fix your emotions is to kiss you again." Luke said embarrassed. He looked at Raiden and he frowned a bit, "It's the ONLY way it'll-" He stopped to take in a swift bit of air as a result from all the crying, "the only way it'll be fixed?"
"Yeah...so do you want me to fix it?" he questioned. Raiden looked down for a bit before looking back up at Luke and nodded. Luke leaned in and kissed Raiden lightly again and Raiden's eyes fluttered shut. He felt his emotions begin to swirl; happiness, sadness, anger, and love . Suddenly everything became neutral and everything inside him returned to normal, but a bit happier. Even after Raiden was better, Luke wouldn't stop. He kept kissing Raiden softly and Raiden didn't protest, it was his Iruna, and he didn't want to mess up his emotions again. Suddenly, the bell rang and it made Luke jump and break away from Raiden, "Sorry!" he said. Raiden's face was red as he and Luke heard a noise. The door to the bathroom was slowly settling back into place.
Raiden rushed past Luke to get his backpack. As he picked it up he looked at Luke who was simply waiting for him by the door as if nothing had happened. He ran past him and into the hallway where he grabbed his books from the locker by the bathroom. He shoved his backpack into the locker and turned around. His eyes expected to see nothing, but he caught sight of long, curly, orange hair and tight fists clutched in anger entering a classroom near-bye.
"Are you wearing cover-up?" he asked as he wiped away some of it revealing a bruise. Raiden pushed him away roughly with his cast arm and sat facing away from them. Luke turned Raiden towards him and looked at him directly in the eyes, "What happened to you Raiden?"
