Hatred

Author: Lariat


It was all because of that day, that incident, that I came to hate him forever. His very existence is like an eyesore to me. I hate how his face is so indifferent to everybody. He has no empathy, no sympathy, for others, anyone at all! I hate him!

"Come on, now," the white-haired boy sighed, "you can't keep on trying to kill him. He's a part of the team and we need him. (I'm just kinda glad you try to kill him off missions...)"

"You're just saying that 'cause you're his friend."

"What!? I'm your friend too! Ugh, just, look, can't you just get along for once? The both of you?"

"...Fine. I'll get along. Hey Ryuu. Come 'ere. Let me give you a love tap."

"Uh... no, thanks..."

"'Love tap'? Is that some commoner's way of saying 'friendly fire'? A step up from it?"

"No, it's not like that... sort of."

I honestly can't see why everybody like him so much. He should be hated, not loved!

"Stop doing that!"

"It's just tough love. What's wrong with that? So let me give you a love tap. Or two. Or twenty."

"Well, he says it's love. I don't think there's a problem here. I assume it's like that 'brawling it out, guys amongst guys' kind of thing that I heard about from Shion. Go ahead, Ryuu."

"I'm gonna back off. And besides, what he's going to do to me isn't what you just described."

I don't know why they always take his side.

"I don't see why you hate him so much, Nobu. Ryuu's a nice person."

"Nice person!?"

Am I the only one in his right mind these days!?

"Buta is probably still mad about that. Honestly, you should be over it by now. It was such a long time ago..."

"Stop calling me that! And it isn't something that could be forgotten so easily!"

"Why? Did something happen between the two of you?"

"It was just a prank. It's nothing important..."

They could never understand, would they? They would never understand that because of that day, that incident, that I've hated him ever since.

"It is important. Very important."
