Manjiro Sano {Maiki} ⁰⁰⁶

In a quiet corner of the school, near the exit door, where not much anyone passes by.

The girl was walking shyly, clutching her books, when she was startled by a hand resting against the wall beside her, blocking her way. She slowly raised her head, her eyes meeting his... the eyes of Mikey, the mysterious young man whom no one dared approach.

Mikey spoke in a low voice as he moved closer, until his voice became almost a whisper: "Why do you run away from me all the time? Am I that scary?"

The girl became flustered, lowered her gaze to the ground, and muttered: "I'm not afraid... I just... I don't know how to deal with you."

Mikey smiled, a rare, gentle smile no one had ever seen before, then he gently lifted her hand and said: "Then come, let me teach you."

Her heart pounded faster, and her face flushed redder than she could bear. She turned to try and escape, but he grabbed the collar of her school uniform and said: "There's no point in running away... This time, it's my turn to be the one on the hunt."
