More Than Two (PitchBlack Series)

1. Japanese

Kalalabas ko lang ng school ay dumiretyo muna ako sa isang convenient store. I'm planning to buy some sweet candy seens I'm very sweet. When I saw a familiar back of a student.

She's trying to reach something but she couldn't get it. Humalukipkip ako sa likuran niya at pinagmasdan muna siyang nahihirapan sa pagkuha ng napkin sa pinakataas ng shelved. Hindi naman siya gaanong kapandak. In fact, she has a good height.

Nang tumigil siya sa pag-abot ay tumabi na ako sa kaniya bago pa siya umalis. Kinuha ko ang isang rolyo ng tissue mula sa pinakataas na lagayan at iniabot sa kaniya.

I furrowed when she didn't get it, so I put it on her basket. Andito nanaman ang kahindikhindik niyang titig na wala namang epekto sa akin.

"Another annoying coincidence." she murmured.

"Stop being so standoffish with me. Since we sit next to each other, let's get along. What's your name?"

Tinitigan niya lang ako at hindi sumagot.

"It's not big deal to tell me, right?"

"In that case, It won't matter if I didn't tell you."

"Not knowing the name of the person seated next to me is a little embarrassing, right?"

She stares at me with her disdainful looked. Para bang lampas pa sa mga mata ko ang gusto niyang makita, o malaman.

But after a minute or two...

"I'm Minatozaki, Reinella."

My mouth literally form a letter "O" without showing expression.

"You're..."

She swallowed hard and bit her lip. I think it's something she doesn't want to circulate.

But, how come a royal blood from Japan is here?

"So your mixed ancestry-?"

"I'm a full-blooded Japanese."

My eyes narrowed at her. "Ahh..."

That defines her perfect jawline, double eyelids, fair skin, and long, flowing hair. Though it's easy to find those features in other nationalities specially in asian people, it still has form of something, that makes it different.

"Then, is it okay to call you, Reinella, instead of Minatozaki?"

"It won't hurt, since we're in the Philippines. But if ever...we met in our country, you're not allowed to called me. Literally not."

"Dahil bawal?"

"Dahil ayaw kong makita ka ulit."

I almost burst in laughed on what she said. I rolled my tounge inside my mouth and just smiled. Amuse at what she stated.

In the next morning...

Maaga akong nakarating sa school. Everyone's eyes on me as I walked in front of them. Specially, lady's...

Girls have lot of acceptable reasons or explanations why they like the boy they liked. And there's no need to question it, or to discredit it. My prey don't need to worry about contemplating there feelings, or forcing their vehemence. Because I can provide them the man of their dream, in a way they preferred, beyond doubt.

I smirked.

"Hey! Ryuizawa!"

I stop on my ground as I heard a familiar voice behind. Nilingon ko iyon at nakita ang pamilyar na mukha.

"Ryuizawa! Hayyy!" Humahangos siya habang hawak ang tuhod at nakayuko sa harap ko.

Is this the right time to start a game?
