Oymyakon 1997, the town Ivan was born in, a scrawny Russian child with a pale chalky complexion, with bright blue eyes, only weighing in at 5.5 lbs. He was a fairly normal child as he started life, his parents took care of him, and he was a tad malnourished here and there but the food wasn't that easy to come across whenever your parents struggled with money. They both have decent jobs so it didn't make sense the money struggle was so real, but his Father was an alcoholic, and most money he got his hands on he was buying booze for himself, fast forward a few it's now 2003, Ivan was now 7 he had just started school, His life was seeming pretty normal as he usually just went to school and came back home, he would do his homework then go outside and play with the kids in his neighborhood, yet the peace of that didn't stay, on one fateful day Ivan came home and his dad was home and not at work, usually whenever Ivan saw his dad back from work is because, he had gotten fired from yet another job, whenever that happens Ivan just goes to his room and lets it pass as his father would usually drink it away, so that's what Ivan did he walked upstairs to his room closed his door and began on his work. Ivan continued on his work before the worst could happen, His mother had gotten home, his mom finding her drunken husband stumbling around she began to speak, “So you got fired again?” she said in Russian, her tone as in a disappointed sigh, As Erik looked at her with his drunken eyes he scoffed before saying, “So what if I did?” in Russian, with the tone of a pouty child. As Vera just stared at him she let out a sigh before she walked by him and went to her room, she was in there for a while, but then she finally came out with a packed bag, she then spoke, “I’m taking Ivan and leaving. This is the 5th job in the last month you had gotten fired from, we can’t live whenever our income is being greatly impacted just so you. . .” She paused as she thought to herself before her voice raising with anger, “Can feed your addiction!” in Russian, Erik stared at her before she began to walk past him to go get Ivan from his room, she was walking up the stairs as Erik then went to the kitchen, he had grabbed a knife from the drawer, as he shuffled his way to the stairs tears began to fall from his eyes, yet his drunken rage was driving him to walk up the stairs, one step a time he walked to her as she had just knocked on Ivan’s door, the man made it to the hall he walked up behind the female as he gripped the handle of the knife he reared his right arm lifting it above his head before placing his other hand on it, He then yelled out, “IF YOU WONT STAY HERE I'LL MAKE YOU STAY FOREVER!” He said in Russian with a anguished tone he then slammed the knife downwards, as Ivan heard the commotion he opened the door walking out he saw his mother on the ground . . . motionless, his eyes widening as they moved upwards seeing the male standing above her holding a kitchen knife, covered in the evidence of his crime, the male looked at Ivan his eyes tear filled, yet his face showed rage, the look filling Ivan’s mind as he felt the fear of the reality, His father dropped the knife as he ran downstairs, Ivan dashed out of the house, as Ivan was running he heard a gunshot the sound originating from the house, he didn’t turn back though he kept running until he had reached the local police station. The police took Ivan in where he was sent to a foster home, He stayed in the foster home which was later moved to a small town in Karakura, Japan where Ivan stays in a small apartment with his foster family until he was adopted by a woman that goes by the name, Zoya Askook Lebedev, Ivan would later be known as Ivan Syvin Lebedev, a 17-year-old starting 11th grade, in his second year of high school. He had spent 6 years in Russia before he began learning Japanese. The lengthy process was taxing, this foreign language was what he called, “The death of him.” Yet it took 3 years of lengthy learning, he had gotten himself to a point where he could say he KNEW the language. That didn’t stand for his reading though, he was still learning how to read and write Japanese. Ivan lives in an apartment with his adoptive mother Zoya, and her son Yuchiro, Yuchiro is one year older than Ivan at age 18, and Zoya is a single mother who had adopted them both Zoya being age 37.
August first, Apartment block H room number 217, Ivan slowly blinked open his eyes as the annoying, “BEEP!” as his alarm clock attacked his sweet state of unconsciousness. He would look at the alarm clock that so angrily attacked his slumber looking at the big red numbers that read out, “5:00,” He would slowly lift his body upwards placing his hands behind himself as he pushed upwards lifting his body to a sitting position. He would then stretch his right arm above his head and his left to the bed as he stretched them apart from each other he let out a tired groan, followed by a yawn. He opened his mouth lifting his hand to his mouth he would breathe into his hand followed by a sniff, as he lowered his hand he would move his legs to the left side of the bed looking around at the room before him which consisted of another bed with plenty of sports equipment and decorations next to it, and big letters above the bed saying, “YUCHIRO.”The room was pretty spacious and had plenty of pictures with Ivan and Zoya, and a few extra photos including Yuchiro. Ivan would stand as he shuffled to the bathroom, with a tired expression he looked into the mirror showing his messed up hair he then reached down to the sink next to it would be a toothbrush and toothpaste, he then opened the cap of the toothpaste setting both the bottle and the cap on the counter, he would next take his toothbrush as he turned on the faucet letting the water dampen the bristles, he left the water on as he pulled the toothbrush away taking his already opened toothpaste gently he squeezed the tube as he hovered it over the toothbrush letting the green colored spearmint flavored goop make its way onto the toothbrush in a small circle, he would then lift the toothbrush to his mouth as he would begin to brush his teeth, as he brushed he kept his brushing in a circular motion. As he brushed a smell started to fill his nose, it smelled almost like- BACON! He would then begin to brush faster with his newfound motive, finishing quite fast he dashed down the stairs jumping over the last three steps, Then he saw Zoya standing there with a plate of Bacon and eggs, one of his favorite American meals. He would give a tired smile before saying, “Good Morning!” but before she could respond to his greeting, Yuchiro flew through the door, as the door slammed against the wall with a “WHAM!” Zoya gave him a glare as she began to fuss, “What happened to open a door like a normal person? Do that again and you will be beaten, son, this is a warning.” Ivan held his laughter as he watched Yuchiro scramble to close the door gently. Yuchiro then looked at Zoya before saying shyly, “Sorry . . . Mom.” At this point, Ivan couldn’t contain his abounding laughter. He burst out laughing and he then acted like he was wiping a tear from his eye before saying, “Oh this is priceless!” Yuchiro frowned at Ivan’s remark as they both stared at each other, one glaring and the other laughing hysterically. Zoya then turned around and said, “Alright alright, settle down boys and take a seat, breakfast is finished.” Ivan jumped into his chair with excitement. His mouth had been watering since the first smell of the savory food. As they both took a seat Yuchiro slammed his fist into Ivan’s right shoulder, Ivan reacted with a small chuckle as he began to hold his shoulder. Yuchiro stared at Ivan for a second before saying, “So you finally woke up, huh sleeping beauty?” he continued to tease Ivan, “I mean you might want to go back to sleep, I don't think your beauty sleep is paying off!” Ivan just proceeded to ignore the male’s attempt of angering him. Zoya walked back from the cooling stove, as she set down the well-cooked food, Ivan instantly reacted by grabbing a fork and a knife, and he quickly began to enjoy his breakfast. Yuchiro, not that big of a fan of eggs and bacon, just pulled out his phone and checked the time, He then let out a quick, “OH SHIT!” As Ivan turned to him, his mouth full of food letting out a muffled, “Whhuss teh matfer?” (Ivan’s attempt of saying, “What’s the matter?”)
Yuchiro then said, quite panicked, “WE ARE GONNA BE LATE, IT’S ALREADY 6:40!” Ivan then abandoned the well-made meal as he rushed to get his bag, he grabbed it rushing back downstairs before giving a big hug to Zoya, and a quick, “Bye mom!” before rushing out the door with Yuchiro, They both grabbed their bikes as they peddled as fast as they could down the street, They proceeded through the Japanese shopping district, where their apartment was located, reaching a street separating all the shops and apartment buildings, as they took a right they continued on their way as they would pass an abundance of houses and a small bowling alley that doubled as an ice cream shop, at the end of that road they took a left, now it was a straight shot as they kept pedaling as fast as they could, their legs aching and the overall urge to quit began to rise as they slowed down, though a quick thought of what Zoya would do if they were late again dulled out their laziness, through what seemed like hours of pedaling they made it to the school, exhausted and sweating. The school they stopped at would be a giant fenced-in school, with a nice campus and a big stone wall full of rules. The stone wall read simple rules which any school would have to follow, yet one stood out, the rule read, “No students allowed in the South Wing Bathroom.” Ivan never really questioned it, mostly because he couldn’t read it, yet it did weird Yuchiro out.
As Ivan entered the school he walked up to the old spiral bike rack he knew so well, always having a green bike with a slightly dented handle, and his brother’s. Ivan walked to the bike rack he took his seemingly new bike took out a chain he would walk the bike into one of the vacant spirals as he then took the chain putting it through his bike’s body, and around the spiral, he then took out a small lock locking it to the chain ensuring nobody could steal his bike. He then did his usual, walking to the pool as he would take a seat on the empty bleachers, that only get used if a swim competition was going on. As he sat down he took out a notepad and a pencil and he then looked up, at all the people the school brought, with all their wild haircuts and some being colored, all the features and character traits that each person brought, as Ivan scanned the crowd he would pick out a singular person who stood out to him, the person he picked today was a petite girl, who looked like she knew her way around, she stood at 4,11 and had this bright red hair that went down to her waist in crimson tangles, He examined her for a bit as he then began to draw, his pencil gliding across the paper as he took that plane piece of paper and turned it into a person, He would finish as he looked down at the photo and back up, he smiled realizing he didn’t mess up his artwork, he then would sign the page with his name, tearing the page from the notebook he hopped down from the bleachers walking to the woman he handed it to her with a smile as he said, “I drew you! I hope you like it!” She took it as she looked at the page, her face giving a pure look of amazement! She just kept the stair as Ivan then said, “Enjoy!” he began to walk away, and the female stood there for a second before saying quite loudly to get his attention, “WAIT!” he turned around as he looked at her walking back to her awaiting reasoning of the stop, she then would say, “Thank you, this is absolutely amazing, but why just give it away? Didn’t you spend a lot of time in making this? I feel bad for you to spend that time and then just give it away.” Ivan gave a chuckle as he looked down at her, he then spoke, “I made this because I wanted to, not because I wanted to keep it, plus if I were to draw this and keep it wouldn’t that be kinda creepy because it’s of a random person? Plus I can always draw another, the drawing can leave, but my ability to draw isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.” She thought about what he said as she stood there she looked down at the paper and then back up at him before speaking, “I guess you’re right. . . Also, this is like really good where did you learn to do this?” he then replied, “Lots and lots of practice, I'm glad you appreciate it!’ She nodded before saying, “Who wouldn’t?!” he would then smile at her response before saying, “You’d be surprised miss” she then facepalmed before saying, “Where are my manners? I’m Yuki Takahara.” Ivan then smiled at Yuki before saying, “Well I’m Ivan nice to meet you Yuki.” her eyes widened at his response she stared at him a bit, “What? Did I say something?” She opened her mouth, then stopped as she thought about her words she then spoke, “Well usually nobody calls me by my first name except close friends and family . . .” Ivan followed with a quick apology, “OH CRAP! I'm so very sorry, I’m not used to all this, Please forgive me!” She shook her head saying, “No no it’s fine, You can just call me Yuki if you want I won’t mind.” He then looked at her as he said, “You sure?” which she followed with a quick, “Mhm!” He then smiled and said, “Alrighty then! May I ask where you are from Yuki?” She nodded as she responded, “I'm from this very town! Karakura, Japan, Is my home, what about you Ivan?” Ivan gave a thought to the idea as he remembered his time in Russia, spending time with his foster family, then the thought of his parents struck him, his eyes widened as he then blinked, and he would respond saying, “Oh, Just a small town in Russia.” Hearing those words made Yuki beam with excitement as she asked a million questions in a span of a few seconds, the questions conforming to such as, “What was it like in Russia? Was it cold? Did you ever swim? How much snow did you get a year? Is it true that all Russians drink vodka? How did you get to Japan? Why did you come to Japan?” Ivan just stood and stared at her, thinking about the unholy amount of words he had just heard, he just thought to himself about how to answer that kaboodle of words, He would open his mouth to speak as he put up his right hand and holding his pointer finger to the sky before closing his hand to a fist bending his pointer finger and placing it to his chin signifying his intense thought. He would then begin to speak, “I don’t want to speak about how Russia was, Yes it was cold, Yes I did swim, I don’t really remember, but it was a lot, No, Not all Russians drink vodka that’s a nasty stereotype, through boat, and planes, because my family moved here.” He then took a breath after answering all the questions, “Are you happy?” He asked. Her face lit up with a big smile as she said, “That’s so cool! I have one last question, do you speak Russian?” he would chuckle as he then said, “I don’t know, do I?” in Russian. She would just stare in amazement at the male, Ivan would then say, “Well I best be on my way, sorry to take up your time, Bye Yuki.” She would nod before saying, “It’s fine, But I won’t make you stay. I do wish to ask for your number though!” Ivan would be surprised, a girl had never asked him for his number before, His brain scrambled as he then would say, “Oh! Ok Ok Uhh My number is . . .” The male pulled out his black flip phone that he had placed a skull sticker on, as he flipped it open he would click the rectangular-shaped, yet rounded off button closest to the screen as he clicked it made a small, “click” on every press, He would then look down at the number he had just pulled up before speaking, “030. . .” He paused as he looked at her scramble to pull out her phone and put in his contact, He wasn’t quite surprised whenever she pulled out a pink flip phone covered in little fake jewels, it dazzled in the sun with all of it’s fake eye-catching accessories, she would flip it open as he saw her quickly type in the numbers before looking up at him awaiting the next set of numbers, Ivan understood her signal as he continued, “446 . . . 9163.” He would look at her as she finished it up, she would then quickly type out a quick message to the number she had just added to her list of contacts, as Ivan felt the phone in his hand vibrate he would look at the newest text, he hit a little green button the right of the keypad that brought him to his newest message as he read it over, the text would read, “This is Yuki!” He smiled at the text as he quickly began to save the number as “YUKI” In his contacts, he then tapped away responding to her message, “And this is Ivan! I don’t think we have met :P” He joked as she looked up at him with a small giggle, She would then wave without another word she began to walk away, Ivan would be like any man after getting a girl's number, just being stunned with a dopey looking smile, He was attempting to comprehend what happened but his train of thought was so kindly interrupted by Yuchiro as he walked up slamming his hand onto Ivan’s shoulder with a big, “WHAP!” As soon as Yuchiro’s hand made contact with Ivan’s shoulder he would grip onto Ivan tightly before speaking, “Sooooo, Who’s the girly?” Ivan looked at him as he responded, “Her name is Yuki, She gave me her number, and asked like a billion questions.” Yuchiro’s smile went to a smirk as he began to tease, “So what you are saying is that my little brother is in,” He paused as he made an obnoxious voice just to annoy Ivan, “Loooooveeeee!” Ivan then frowned as he pushed Yuchiro a bit saying, “Shut up man, It’s not like that and you know it!” Yuchiro followed his response with a laugh as he responded, “OH SO MY SUSPICIONS ARE TRUE!” Ivan would just stare at the laughing male with a frown before saying, “Yuu is your only job to annoy me?” (Yuu being the nickname in which he calls Yuchiro) Yuu quickly responded with a breath relieving his laughter before saying, “I’m your brother it’s what I do!” Ivan was about to say something back before they were interrupted by a bell, As Ivan had completely forgotten that he was in school he began to panic, grabbing his items and putting them into the school bag that he always had with him even out of school, Before waving to Yuu as he began to start a mad dash towards the back end of the school to get to Art class.
As Ivan continued his running through the school he passed the receptionist's desk as the receptionist wasn’t there Ivan was satisfied, he didn’t want yet another lecture on how he can’t run through the school, he continued his running to the middle of the school which would have a giant oak tree in the middle, followed by multiple chatty students and benches, to the right you see a nice fountain and a little bit ahead of the fountain the outdoor lunch area could be seen yet Ivan had no time to conversate, His Art class was three flights of stairs up and it's all the way on the other side of the school, He had been late every time to that class, but this time he was determined to make it on time so he took a turn through the left wing of the school, he knew he wasn’t supposed to be going there but he was short on time and made a quick decision, as he took the turn into the left wing he would see that it hadn’t been kept up well, almost no body went over there even the custodians. He slowed down as he looked around, the lights flickering from not being changed in so long, and the floor was covered in paper and items, as he continued on he saw it, The left-wing bathroom, He was gonna just walk past, yet he saw light coming from the cracked door followed by voices and the smell of cigarette smoke. Ivan stared at the door as he began to consider opening it. He wanted to make it to class, but he was so curious as to who was in there. He stared at the door as he proceeded forward towards it, He would place a hand on the handle as he slowly opened it looking inside. As he opened the door he would see three teenagers wearing these weird jackets with symbols he had never seen before, each one holding a lit cigarette, he continued to watch as they were talking about something, words he couldn’t make out were being said and he didn’t want to proceed forward because he didn’t want to get into trouble, right before he went to back away he felt an intense pain in the back of his head, as his vision started to be shrouded his legs grew weak before Ivan knew it he was knocked out cold! Ivan later began to wake from his unconsciousness, as he blinked his eyes awake he felt this horrible aching pain in the back of his head, his head pounding with a headache, he attempted to lift his hand to his head but he couldn’t he began to panic as he looked down, He was tied to a chair! As he started to struggle to get out of his binds he looked around the room was completely dark the only thing that had light was a small circle around the chair, as he looked around the room he saw a person, shrouded by the darkness, Ivan’s gaze locked on the male as Ivan out of a mixture of fear and pain cried out, “WHERE AM I?!” The person from the darkness didn’t say a word as Ivan kept his eyes fixed on them, The room went quiet as Ivan kept struggling in the chair, He began to grow tired after ten minutes of pointless struggling, As Ivan slowed his struggling the person in the darkness broke the silence with, “Now that you are done, we can have a chat” the voice being of a male, Ivan took a breath as he tried to calm his nerves, as Ivan then responded, “A chat? Ok, why don’t you tell me. . .” Ivan began to yell out of frustration, “WHERE THE HELL I AM?” The male gave a sigh as he then spoke, “You don’t need to know that information, Yet there is information that I do need to hear, What did you hear whenever you were spying on my colleagues in the bathroom?” Ivan scoffed at the male’s question as he then spoke, “Why should I tell you?” The male gave a chuckle as he walked forward into the light, Letting Ivan get a look at the male who stood before him, The male wearing a ballistic face mask that concealed his identity, the male also would be wearing what looked like a black suit, as Ivan’s gaze shifted down the male Ivan would see what the male had in his hands, The male would be holding a katana with his gloved hands, moving a cloth up and down the blade of the katana. At the sight of the katana Ivan’s eyes widened and his heart pounded so hard that Ivan thought the mystery man could hear it. Ivan began to sweat profusely as he began to breathe heavily, He knew that he could die here!
As the male approached Ivan, katana in hand, he would lift the katana placing the blade to Ivan’s throat, The sharpness made a small puncture where the blade met the skin, the male then spoke, “There is your reason for telling me, Now I will ask you again, What. Did. You. Hear.” Ivan’s heart pounded as the male moved the katana backward a tad so Ivan could speak, Ivan quickly started to speak, “Please don’t hurt me, man, I don’t know what they said I swear, Please believe me, I didn’t even know what was happening, Please!” He pleaded, The male then lowered the katana as he then began to speak, “Hmmm,” He spoke, placing a finger to his mask to reference thinking, before lowering his hand he started again, “So you know nothing right?” Ivan responded without hesitation, “YES I KNOW NOTHING MAN,” The mysterious man then nodded before saying, “Well then, my mistake for thinking you did! But we do have a new problem, I mistakenly showed you that I had a weapon and if I let you go you would run straight to the police, so I would say that's a big problem!” Ivan gulped as he began to blubber, holding back tears, “Please, I swear I won’t tell a soul I swear I promise, I promise!” As the mysterious male chuckled under the mask he would begin to walk behind the chair as Ivan gulped loudly the male behind him lifted the katana slicing off the bindings on Ivan’s hands, Ivan sighed with relief at this action the male sheathed the katana on the sheath placed on the right of his hip. The male would grab Ivan’s arm as Ivan tried to pull away, the mystery man pulled out a pocket knife flicked it open and he placed it on Ivan’s wrist, He began to write into it, As Ivan yelled, in pain after each letter was formed, unable to escape, the male finally finished his monstrous act as he said, “See you at the lighthouse tomorrow night at exactly 8:30 P.M. If you don’t show I’ll find you.” Ivan would then see the male snap as a person approached him from behind, the person from behind would slam a bat into the back of Ivan’s head knocking the male out instantly, with a horrible sound of, “CAWACK!” Darkness slowly began to close in on Ivan as his vision went blurry he was out yet again. The male would wake, a pounding headache yelled violently for him to go back to unconsciousness, as he would sit up he placed his hand behind him, and slid onto the smooth pavement, he looked around to see where he was which turned out to be right behind the school! He lifted one hand to his head while simultaneously pushing his other hand downwards to lift himself to a standing position, He groaned as he tried to remember what had happened to him! He realized his arm didn’t feel normal as he rolled up his sleeve he would find a bandage wrapped around his wrist, Ivan’s heart pumped faster as he started to undo the bandage only to find carved into his wrist, a message reading, “Kamaitachi” his shock would quickly be disturbed by a ringing of his phone that he would panic to reach for, as he looked at his phone it showed that he would have fifteen separate calls! All from one contact that read, “MOM” He continued to hit the green button to answer the incoming call as he said, “Hello?” he waited a second before hearing all hell break loose over the phone as Zoya yelled into the phone, “WHERE ARE YOU? GET HOME NOW!” Ivan scrambled as he began to run back to the apartment, eventually, he had made it. He snuck in through the door trying to avoid Zoya hearing him enter, yet she was standing there in the hall with crossed arms with an angry, yet worried look on her face. She stared at Ivan seeing the bruises and the newly wrapped bandage on his arm, the worry was overwhelming as she removed self-restraint she rushed to him with questions such as, “Where did you go? Why didn’t you come back? Are you hurt? Are you ok? Who did this to you?” Ivan then thought to himself before saying, “No one . . . I’m fine mom I swear, I just fell off my bike and hit my head on the concrete, I then stopped by the school nurse to get myself fixed up, My bike got messed up during the fall so I had to walk and my phone had died, so I went to the Volleyball teams house to go use Yuu’s charger, That’s it.” Ivan was pretty proud of the story he made up and thought he had done pretty good, yet Zoya’s face said otherwise as she then began to speak, “Really? Well that’s strange, the school called and said you NEVER showed up, So try another one.” She glared at Ivan as Ivan gave an awkward smile, he began to sweat as he said, “Fine, I skipped school and went to a friend's house for a party.” She still looked disappointed as she countered that lie with yet another hard truth, “You don’t smell like alcohol, and I know you would skip any party to go to that damn art class, If you don’t want to tell me what happened it’s fine, but kiss your phone goodbye for at LEAST a week, Kapeesh?” Ivan’s mouth opened as he closed it with a frown, in an upset voice he would then hand over his phone with a frown, “Kapeesh.” Zoya then looked at the male before her as she looked him up and down, “Go get yourself a shower and then it’s off to bed, Don’t you DARE touch your computer.” she squinted her eyes at Ivan as he nodded, “Fine fine I won't touch my computer, What do you take me for, a disobedient child?” he said sarcastically, yet Zoya didn’t think twice before saying, “After what happened today I am leaning towards setting you out as a disobedient child.” Ivan felt quite offended, yet he did have it coming as he nodded he walked up the stairs and into the bathroom, he prepared himself for a shower, as he looked down at his arm at the bandages on his wrist he slowly unravel it, the wound would no longer be bleeding yet it looked quite gnarly! He then would go and take his shower. As he walked into the room Yuu looked at him with a strange look, as Ivan was hiding the carving behind his back, Yuu was suspicious and so he was about to find out what Ivan was hiding. Yuu approached Ivan as he then went for a hug (This was fairly normal, Yuu is usually a bubbly, huggy person and such) as Yuu hugged the male yuu reached and grabbed Ivan’s hidden arm overpowering the male to pull it to him to see what he was hiding, As he gazed upon the forbidden message left in his arm his jaw dropped, “W-what the hell happened to you?” Yuu’s voice shook with terror, as he spoke those words, Ivan quickly hid his wrist before saying, “Yuu remember that time you had gotten yourself drunk and I babysat you so mom would never find out?” He nodded before Ivan continued, “You said you 'Owed me one' make that up right now by not telling ANYONE about this, especially mom, Can I trust you?” He looked like he was thinking about it before the male gave a stern look followed by a nod as Ivan smiled a tad mouthing the words, “Thank you.” to the male, Ivan would then walk over to Yuu’s computer as he sat down he began to type in the password (The password being, “Yuchiro is dah beast”) As soon as the computer opened Ivan went straight to the internet browser as he typed in the words, “KAMAITACHI” As soon as he hit enter, A website was the first recommended, as he clicked on it, it showed a picture of a Shi****mi. He stared down the fowl photo as he turned to the information page, a long list of words appeared on the screen as he copied and pasted all of those words into google translate, translating the language to one he could read, as he looked at the newly translated words he began to read, “Kamaitachi, a gang in which the members make this corrupt city something of worth, changing each person by doing what the police are too scared to do, the police are weak, they don’t understand how to fully stop the murderers of this town, they don’t give the people an incentive, but we do. We aren’t afraid to do what’s necessary, Kill. The cops only care about money, any criminal can get out of jail as long as the cops get paid enough. The cops have no idea how to run this city, but we do. If you have “THE MARK'' then you have been chosen for a greater cause! You know where to go.” The article ended leaving Ivan stunned, so many thoughts rushed through his head, he couldn’t wrap his head around the idea of gangs and why was he the one to end up with a mark? Ivan closed Yuu’s computer as he walked to his bed laying down, he thought to himself only to be interrupted by Zoya busting through Ivan’s door with a smile, “IVAN!” She yelled with excitement, Ivan absoloutly spooked, he sat up hiding his carving under the blanket as he looked at Zoya saying, “Yes mom?” She then showed Ivan the text she found on Ivan’s phone, “YOU GOT A GIRLS NUMBER TODAY?” Ivan’s kinda looked down as he bit his lip in embarrassment he knew it was only a bit of time before she found out, He sighed before speaking, “Yes mom, I did. Now why are you going through my phone?” She then spoke, “I wasn’t but your phone buzzed and I was curious to see who was texting you and, It Was A Girl, SO I may or may not have read the text and just LOOK!” She held the phone in Ivan’s face so he could read the text, The text reading, “Hey you are pretty cool, I was wondering if you wanted to go hang out at the bowling alley tomorrow, text me when you can :P” Zoya gave a smile as she said, “You get your phone back! It’s kind of embarrassing to tell your “Date” that you got your phone taken.” Ivan looked at Zoya as he said, “She’s not my date!” He frowned at the female standing before him, Zoya just giggled before saying, “Alright alright, Now don’t leave her on read, go ahead and text her back.” Zoya gave a small wave before walking out the room, closing the door. Ivan just looked at the text as excitement flooded his body, he then quickly messaged back, “What time?” He stared at the text he had just sent impatiently, he then saw a notification that showed she was typing before reading out the message sent to him, “Hmmm, What about 3:00 P.M. Does that sound good?” Ivan smiled as he messaged her back, “That sounds great! I can’t wait :D '' Ivan closed his phone as he layed back on his bed, his joy only to be ruined by Yuu’s teasing, “So I was right! You are in loooove, How adorable! My Little brother is such a ladies man.” Ivan just wanted to die as he turned away from yuu closing his eyes trying to avoid this conversation through unconsciousness. The next morning he woke up. He knew today was the day! He came downstairs sliding down the handrail on the stairs, with a loud, “THUMP!” He hit the floor only to see Zoya in the kitchen. She smiled as she began her teasing, “Someone’s happy this morning, Is it because you got a date today?” A smirk formed on her face, Ivan just sighed before fussing at her, “She isn’t my DATE, Mom she is just a friend.” She then gave a giggle as she turned towards the stove, she was doing something, yet whatever it was wasn’t in sight, She then spoke, “Sureeee she isn’t, My apologies mister grumpy, She is just your friend. . .” She then mumbled, “who has the hots for youuu.” Ivan just huffed, walking past her he said with an upset tone, “Yeah Yeah, REAL mature mom.” He kept walking as he walked out of the kitchen through the hall, he then took a left as he entered the living room, where he found Yuu sitting on the couch watching a professional volleyball game on their tv.

Ivan’s beginning
Oymyakon 1997, the town Ivan was born in, a scrawny Russian child with a pale chalky complexion, with bright blue eyes, only weighing in at 5.5 lbs. He was a fairly normal child as he started life, his parents took care of him, and he was a tad malnourished here and there but the food wasn't that easy to come across whenever your parents struggled with money. They both have decent jobs so it didn't make sense the money struggle was so real, but his Father was an alcoholic, and most money he got his hands on he was buying booze for himself, fast forward a few it's now 2003, Ivan was now 7 he had just started school, His life was seeming pretty normal as he usually just went to school and came back home, he would do his homework then go outside and play with the kids in his neighborhood, yet the peace of that didn't stay, on one fateful day Ivan came home and his dad was home and not at work, usually whenever Ivan saw his dad back from work is because, he had gotten fired from yet another job, whenever that happens Ivan just goes to his room and lets it pass as his father would usually drink it away, so that's what Ivan did he walked upstairs to his room closed his door and began on his work. Ivan continued on his work before the worst could happen, His mother had gotten home, his mom finding her drunken husband stumbling around she began to speak, “So you got fired again?” she said in Russian, her tone as in a disappointed sigh, As Erik looked at her with his drunken eyes he scoffed before saying, “So what if I did?” in Russian, with the tone of a pouty child. As Vera just stared at him she let out a sigh before she walked by him and went to her room, she was in there for a while, but then she finally came out with a packed bag, she then spoke, “I’m taking Ivan and leaving. This is the 5th job in the last month you had gotten fired from, we can’t live whenever our income is being greatly impacted just so you. . .” She paused as she thought to herself before her voice raising with anger, “Can feed your addiction!” in Russian, Erik stared at her before she began to walk past him to go get Ivan from his room, she was walking up the stairs as Erik then went to the kitchen, he had grabbed a knife from the drawer, as he shuffled his way to the stairs tears began to fall from his eyes, yet his drunken rage was driving him to walk up the stairs, one step a time he walked to her as she had just knocked on Ivan’s door, the man made it to the hall he walked up behind the female as he gripped the handle of the knife he reared his right arm lifting it above his head before placing his other hand on it, He then yelled out, “IF YOU WONT STAY HERE I'LL MAKE YOU STAY FOREVER!” He said in Russian with a anguished tone he then slammed the knife downwards, as Ivan heard the commotion he opened the door walking out he saw his mother on the ground . . . motionless, his eyes widening as they moved upwards seeing the male standing above her holding a kitchen knife, covered in the evidence of his crime, the male looked at Ivan his eyes tear filled, yet his face showed rage, the look filling Ivan’s mind as he felt the fear of the reality, His father dropped the knife as he ran downstairs, Ivan dashed out of the house, as Ivan was running he heard a gunshot the sound originating from the house, he didn’t turn back though he kept running until he had reached the local police station. The police took Ivan in where he was sent to a foster home, He stayed in the foster home which was later moved to a small town in Karakura, Japan where Ivan stays in a small apartment with his foster family until he was adopted by a woman that goes by the name, Zoya Askook Lebedev, Ivan would later be known as Ivan Syvin Lebedev, a 17-year-old starting 11th grade, in his second year of high school. He had spent 6 years in Russia before he began learning Japanese. The lengthy process was taxing, this foreign language was what he called, “The death of him.” Yet it took 3 years of lengthy learning, he had gotten himself to a point where he could say he KNEW the language. That didn’t stand for his reading though, he was still learning how to read and write Japanese. Ivan lives in an apartment with his adoptive mother Zoya, and her son Yuchiro, Yuchiro is one year older than Ivan at age 18, and Zoya is a single mother who had adopted them both Zoya being age 37.Ivan’s beginning
Chapter 1: “The beginning”
August first, Apartment block H room number 217, Ivan slowly blinked open his eyes as the annoying, “BEEP!” as his alarm clock attacked his sweet state of unconsciousness. He would look at the alarm clock that so angrily attacked his slumber looking at the big red numbers that read out, “5:00,” He would slowly lift his body upwards placing his hands behind himself as he pushed upwards lifting his body to a sitting position. He would then stretch his right arm above his head and his left to the bed as he stretched them apart from each other he let out a tired groan, followed by a yawn. He opened his mouth lifting his hand to his mouth he would breathe into his hand followed by a sniff, as he lowered his hand he would move his legs to the left side of the bed looking around at the room before him which consisted of another bed with plenty of sports equipment and decorations next to it, and big letters above the bed saying, “YUCHIRO.”The room was pretty spacious and had plenty of pictures with Ivan and Zoya, and a few extra photos including Yuchiro. Ivan would stand as he shuffled to the bathroom, with a tired expression he looked into the mirror showing his messed up hair he then reached down to the sink next to it would be a toothbrush and toothpaste, he then opened the cap of the toothpaste setting both the bottle and the cap on the counter, he would next take his toothbrush as he turned on the faucet letting the water dampen the bristles, he left the water on as he pulled the toothbrush away taking his already opened toothpaste gently he squeezed the tube as he hovered it over the toothbrush letting the green colored spearmint flavored goop make its way onto the toothbrush in a small circle, he would then lift the toothbrush to his mouth as he would begin to brush his teeth, as he brushed he kept his brushing in a circular motion. As he brushed a smell started to fill his nose, it smelled almost like- BACON! He would then begin to brush faster with his newfound motive, finishing quite fast he dashed down the stairs jumping over the last three steps, Then he saw Zoya standing there with a plate of Bacon and eggs, one of his favorite American meals. He would give a tired smile before saying, “Good Morning!” but before she could respond to his greeting, Yuchiro flew through the door, as the door slammed against the wall with a “WHAM!” Zoya gave him a glare as she began to fuss, “What happened to open a door like a normal person? Do that again and you will be beaten, son, this is a warning.” Ivan held his laughter as he watched Yuchiro scramble to close the door gently. Yuchiro then looked at Zoya before saying shyly, “Sorry . . . Mom.” At this point, Ivan couldn’t contain his abounding laughter. He burst out laughing and he then acted like he was wiping a tear from his eye before saying, “Oh this is priceless!” Yuchiro frowned at Ivan’s remark as they both stared at each other, one glaring and the other laughing hysterically. Zoya then turned around and said, “Alright alright, settle down boys and take a seat, breakfast is finished.” Ivan jumped into his chair with excitement. His mouth had been watering since the first smell of the savory food. As they both took a seat Yuchiro slammed his fist into Ivan’s right shoulder, Ivan reacted with a small chuckle as he began to hold his shoulder. Yuchiro stared at Ivan for a second before saying, “So you finally woke up, huh sleeping beauty?” he continued to tease Ivan, “I mean you might want to go back to sleep, I don't think your beauty sleep is paying off!” Ivan just proceeded to ignore the male’s attempt of angering him. Zoya walked back from the cooling stove, as she set down the well-cooked food, Ivan instantly reacted by grabbing a fork and a knife, and he quickly began to enjoy his breakfast. Yuchiro, not that big of a fan of eggs and bacon, just pulled out his phone and checked the time, He then let out a quick, “OH SHIT!” As Ivan turned to him, his mouth full of food letting out a muffled, “Whhuss teh matfer?” (Ivan’s attempt of saying, “What’s the matter?”)Chapter 1: “The beginning”
Yuchiro then said, quite panicked, “WE ARE GONNA BE LATE, IT’S ALREADY 6:40!” Ivan then abandoned the well-made meal as he rushed to get his bag, he grabbed it rushing back downstairs before giving a big hug to Zoya, and a quick, “Bye mom!” before rushing out the door with Yuchiro, They both grabbed their bikes as they peddled as fast as they could down the street, They proceeded through the Japanese shopping district, where their apartment was located, reaching a street separating all the shops and apartment buildings, as they took a right they continued on their way as they would pass an abundance of houses and a small bowling alley that doubled as an ice cream shop, at the end of that road they took a left, now it was a straight shot as they kept pedaling as fast as they could, their legs aching and the overall urge to quit began to rise as they slowed down, though a quick thought of what Zoya would do if they were late again dulled out their laziness, through what seemed like hours of pedaling they made it to the school, exhausted and sweating. The school they stopped at would be a giant fenced-in school, with a nice campus and a big stone wall full of rules. The stone wall read simple rules which any school would have to follow, yet one stood out, the rule read, “No students allowed in the South Wing Bathroom.” Ivan never really questioned it, mostly because he couldn’t read it, yet it did weird Yuchiro out.
Chapter Two: “A New Friend!”
As Ivan entered the school he walked up to the old spiral bike rack he knew so well, always having a green bike with a slightly dented handle, and his brother’s. Ivan walked to the bike rack he took his seemingly new bike took out a chain he would walk the bike into one of the vacant spirals as he then took the chain putting it through his bike’s body, and around the spiral, he then took out a small lock locking it to the chain ensuring nobody could steal his bike. He then did his usual, walking to the pool as he would take a seat on the empty bleachers, that only get used if a swim competition was going on. As he sat down he took out a notepad and a pencil and he then looked up, at all the people the school brought, with all their wild haircuts and some being colored, all the features and character traits that each person brought, as Ivan scanned the crowd he would pick out a singular person who stood out to him, the person he picked today was a petite girl, who looked like she knew her way around, she stood at 4,11 and had this bright red hair that went down to her waist in crimson tangles, He examined her for a bit as he then began to draw, his pencil gliding across the paper as he took that plane piece of paper and turned it into a person, He would finish as he looked down at the photo and back up, he smiled realizing he didn’t mess up his artwork, he then would sign the page with his name, tearing the page from the notebook he hopped down from the bleachers walking to the woman he handed it to her with a smile as he said, “I drew you! I hope you like it!” She took it as she looked at the page, her face giving a pure look of amazement! She just kept the stair as Ivan then said, “Enjoy!” he began to walk away, and the female stood there for a second before saying quite loudly to get his attention, “WAIT!” he turned around as he looked at her walking back to her awaiting reasoning of the stop, she then would say, “Thank you, this is absolutely amazing, but why just give it away? Didn’t you spend a lot of time in making this? I feel bad for you to spend that time and then just give it away.” Ivan gave a chuckle as he looked down at her, he then spoke, “I made this because I wanted to, not because I wanted to keep it, plus if I were to draw this and keep it wouldn’t that be kinda creepy because it’s of a random person? Plus I can always draw another, the drawing can leave, but my ability to draw isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.” She thought about what he said as she stood there she looked down at the paper and then back up at him before speaking, “I guess you’re right. . . Also, this is like really good where did you learn to do this?” he then replied, “Lots and lots of practice, I'm glad you appreciate it!’ She nodded before saying, “Who wouldn’t?!” he would then smile at her response before saying, “You’d be surprised miss” she then facepalmed before saying, “Where are my manners? I’m Yuki Takahara.” Ivan then smiled at Yuki before saying, “Well I’m Ivan nice to meet you Yuki.” her eyes widened at his response she stared at him a bit, “What? Did I say something?” She opened her mouth, then stopped as she thought about her words she then spoke, “Well usually nobody calls me by my first name except close friends and family . . .” Ivan followed with a quick apology, “OH CRAP! I'm so very sorry, I’m not used to all this, Please forgive me!” She shook her head saying, “No no it’s fine, You can just call me Yuki if you want I won’t mind.” He then looked at her as he said, “You sure?” which she followed with a quick, “Mhm!” He then smiled and said, “Alrighty then! May I ask where you are from Yuki?” She nodded as she responded, “I'm from this very town! Karakura, Japan, Is my home, what about you Ivan?” Ivan gave a thought to the idea as he remembered his time in Russia, spending time with his foster family, then the thought of his parents struck him, his eyes widened as he then blinked, and he would respond saying, “Oh, Just a small town in Russia.” Hearing those words made Yuki beam with excitement as she asked a million questions in a span of a few seconds, the questions conforming to such as, “What was it like in Russia? Was it cold? Did you ever swim? How much snow did you get a year? Is it true that all Russians drink vodka? How did you get to Japan? Why did you come to Japan?” Ivan just stood and stared at her, thinking about the unholy amount of words he had just heard, he just thought to himself about how to answer that kaboodle of words, He would open his mouth to speak as he put up his right hand and holding his pointer finger to the sky before closing his hand to a fist bending his pointer finger and placing it to his chin signifying his intense thought. He would then begin to speak, “I don’t want to speak about how Russia was, Yes it was cold, Yes I did swim, I don’t really remember, but it was a lot, No, Not all Russians drink vodka that’s a nasty stereotype, through boat, and planes, because my family moved here.” He then took a breath after answering all the questions, “Are you happy?” He asked. Her face lit up with a big smile as she said, “That’s so cool! I have one last question, do you speak Russian?” he would chuckle as he then said, “I don’t know, do I?” in Russian. She would just stare in amazement at the male, Ivan would then say, “Well I best be on my way, sorry to take up your time, Bye Yuki.” She would nod before saying, “It’s fine, But I won’t make you stay. I do wish to ask for your number though!” Ivan would be surprised, a girl had never asked him for his number before, His brain scrambled as he then would say, “Oh! Ok Ok Uhh My number is . . .” The male pulled out his black flip phone that he had placed a skull sticker on, as he flipped it open he would click the rectangular-shaped, yet rounded off button closest to the screen as he clicked it made a small, “click” on every press, He would then look down at the number he had just pulled up before speaking, “030. . .” He paused as he looked at her scramble to pull out her phone and put in his contact, He wasn’t quite surprised whenever she pulled out a pink flip phone covered in little fake jewels, it dazzled in the sun with all of it’s fake eye-catching accessories, she would flip it open as he saw her quickly type in the numbers before looking up at him awaiting the next set of numbers, Ivan understood her signal as he continued, “446 . . . 9163.” He would look at her as she finished it up, she would then quickly type out a quick message to the number she had just added to her list of contacts, as Ivan felt the phone in his hand vibrate he would look at the newest text, he hit a little green button the right of the keypad that brought him to his newest message as he read it over, the text would read, “This is Yuki!” He smiled at the text as he quickly began to save the number as “YUKI” In his contacts, he then tapped away responding to her message, “And this is Ivan! I don’t think we have met :P” He joked as she looked up at him with a small giggle, She would then wave without another word she began to walk away, Ivan would be like any man after getting a girl's number, just being stunned with a dopey looking smile, He was attempting to comprehend what happened but his train of thought was so kindly interrupted by Yuchiro as he walked up slamming his hand onto Ivan’s shoulder with a big, “WHAP!” As soon as Yuchiro’s hand made contact with Ivan’s shoulder he would grip onto Ivan tightly before speaking, “Sooooo, Who’s the girly?” Ivan looked at him as he responded, “Her name is Yuki, She gave me her number, and asked like a billion questions.” Yuchiro’s smile went to a smirk as he began to tease, “So what you are saying is that my little brother is in,” He paused as he made an obnoxious voice just to annoy Ivan, “Loooooveeeee!” Ivan then frowned as he pushed Yuchiro a bit saying, “Shut up man, It’s not like that and you know it!” Yuchiro followed his response with a laugh as he responded, “OH SO MY SUSPICIONS ARE TRUE!” Ivan would just stare at the laughing male with a frown before saying, “Yuu is your only job to annoy me?” (Yuu being the nickname in which he calls Yuchiro) Yuu quickly responded with a breath relieving his laughter before saying, “I’m your brother it’s what I do!” Ivan was about to say something back before they were interrupted by a bell, As Ivan had completely forgotten that he was in school he began to panic, grabbing his items and putting them into the school bag that he always had with him even out of school, Before waving to Yuu as he began to start a mad dash towards the back end of the school to get to Art class.Chapter Two: “A New Friend!”
Chapter Three: “The man in the darkness”
As Ivan continued his running through the school he passed the receptionist's desk as the receptionist wasn’t there Ivan was satisfied, he didn’t want yet another lecture on how he can’t run through the school, he continued his running to the middle of the school which would have a giant oak tree in the middle, followed by multiple chatty students and benches, to the right you see a nice fountain and a little bit ahead of the fountain the outdoor lunch area could be seen yet Ivan had no time to conversate, His Art class was three flights of stairs up and it's all the way on the other side of the school, He had been late every time to that class, but this time he was determined to make it on time so he took a turn through the left wing of the school, he knew he wasn’t supposed to be going there but he was short on time and made a quick decision, as he took the turn into the left wing he would see that it hadn’t been kept up well, almost no body went over there even the custodians. He slowed down as he looked around, the lights flickering from not being changed in so long, and the floor was covered in paper and items, as he continued on he saw it, The left-wing bathroom, He was gonna just walk past, yet he saw light coming from the cracked door followed by voices and the smell of cigarette smoke. Ivan stared at the door as he began to consider opening it. He wanted to make it to class, but he was so curious as to who was in there. He stared at the door as he proceeded forward towards it, He would place a hand on the handle as he slowly opened it looking inside. As he opened the door he would see three teenagers wearing these weird jackets with symbols he had never seen before, each one holding a lit cigarette, he continued to watch as they were talking about something, words he couldn’t make out were being said and he didn’t want to proceed forward because he didn’t want to get into trouble, right before he went to back away he felt an intense pain in the back of his head, as his vision started to be shrouded his legs grew weak before Ivan knew it he was knocked out cold! Ivan later began to wake from his unconsciousness, as he blinked his eyes awake he felt this horrible aching pain in the back of his head, his head pounding with a headache, he attempted to lift his hand to his head but he couldn’t he began to panic as he looked down, He was tied to a chair! As he started to struggle to get out of his binds he looked around the room was completely dark the only thing that had light was a small circle around the chair, as he looked around the room he saw a person, shrouded by the darkness, Ivan’s gaze locked on the male as Ivan out of a mixture of fear and pain cried out, “WHERE AM I?!” The person from the darkness didn’t say a word as Ivan kept his eyes fixed on them, The room went quiet as Ivan kept struggling in the chair, He began to grow tired after ten minutes of pointless struggling, As Ivan slowed his struggling the person in the darkness broke the silence with, “Now that you are done, we can have a chat” the voice being of a male, Ivan took a breath as he tried to calm his nerves, as Ivan then responded, “A chat? Ok, why don’t you tell me. . .” Ivan began to yell out of frustration, “WHERE THE HELL I AM?” The male gave a sigh as he then spoke, “You don’t need to know that information, Yet there is information that I do need to hear, What did you hear whenever you were spying on my colleagues in the bathroom?” Ivan scoffed at the male’s question as he then spoke, “Why should I tell you?” The male gave a chuckle as he walked forward into the light, Letting Ivan get a look at the male who stood before him, The male wearing a ballistic face mask that concealed his identity, the male also would be wearing what looked like a black suit, as Ivan’s gaze shifted down the male Ivan would see what the male had in his hands, The male would be holding a katana with his gloved hands, moving a cloth up and down the blade of the katana. At the sight of the katana Ivan’s eyes widened and his heart pounded so hard that Ivan thought the mystery man could hear it. Ivan began to sweat profusely as he began to breathe heavily, He knew that he could die here!Chapter Three: “The man in the darkness”
Chapter four: “Negotiation”
As the male approached Ivan, katana in hand, he would lift the katana placing the blade to Ivan’s throat, The sharpness made a small puncture where the blade met the skin, the male then spoke, “There is your reason for telling me, Now I will ask you again, What. Did. You. Hear.” Ivan’s heart pounded as the male moved the katana backward a tad so Ivan could speak, Ivan quickly started to speak, “Please don’t hurt me, man, I don’t know what they said I swear, Please believe me, I didn’t even know what was happening, Please!” He pleaded, The male then lowered the katana as he then began to speak, “Hmmm,” He spoke, placing a finger to his mask to reference thinking, before lowering his hand he started again, “So you know nothing right?” Ivan responded without hesitation, “YES I KNOW NOTHING MAN,” The mysterious man then nodded before saying, “Well then, my mistake for thinking you did! But we do have a new problem, I mistakenly showed you that I had a weapon and if I let you go you would run straight to the police, so I would say that's a big problem!” Ivan gulped as he began to blubber, holding back tears, “Please, I swear I won’t tell a soul I swear I promise, I promise!” As the mysterious male chuckled under the mask he would begin to walk behind the chair as Ivan gulped loudly the male behind him lifted the katana slicing off the bindings on Ivan’s hands, Ivan sighed with relief at this action the male sheathed the katana on the sheath placed on the right of his hip. The male would grab Ivan’s arm as Ivan tried to pull away, the mystery man pulled out a pocket knife flicked it open and he placed it on Ivan’s wrist, He began to write into it, As Ivan yelled, in pain after each letter was formed, unable to escape, the male finally finished his monstrous act as he said, “See you at the lighthouse tomorrow night at exactly 8:30 P.M. If you don’t show I’ll find you.” Ivan would then see the male snap as a person approached him from behind, the person from behind would slam a bat into the back of Ivan’s head knocking the male out instantly, with a horrible sound of, “CAWACK!” Darkness slowly began to close in on Ivan as his vision went blurry he was out yet again. The male would wake, a pounding headache yelled violently for him to go back to unconsciousness, as he would sit up he placed his hand behind him, and slid onto the smooth pavement, he looked around to see where he was which turned out to be right behind the school! He lifted one hand to his head while simultaneously pushing his other hand downwards to lift himself to a standing position, He groaned as he tried to remember what had happened to him! He realized his arm didn’t feel normal as he rolled up his sleeve he would find a bandage wrapped around his wrist, Ivan’s heart pumped faster as he started to undo the bandage only to find carved into his wrist, a message reading, “Kamaitachi” his shock would quickly be disturbed by a ringing of his phone that he would panic to reach for, as he looked at his phone it showed that he would have fifteen separate calls! All from one contact that read, “MOM” He continued to hit the green button to answer the incoming call as he said, “Hello?” he waited a second before hearing all hell break loose over the phone as Zoya yelled into the phone, “WHERE ARE YOU? GET HOME NOW!” Ivan scrambled as he began to run back to the apartment, eventually, he had made it. He snuck in through the door trying to avoid Zoya hearing him enter, yet she was standing there in the hall with crossed arms with an angry, yet worried look on her face. She stared at Ivan seeing the bruises and the newly wrapped bandage on his arm, the worry was overwhelming as she removed self-restraint she rushed to him with questions such as, “Where did you go? Why didn’t you come back? Are you hurt? Are you ok? Who did this to you?” Ivan then thought to himself before saying, “No one . . . I’m fine mom I swear, I just fell off my bike and hit my head on the concrete, I then stopped by the school nurse to get myself fixed up, My bike got messed up during the fall so I had to walk and my phone had died, so I went to the Volleyball teams house to go use Yuu’s charger, That’s it.” Ivan was pretty proud of the story he made up and thought he had done pretty good, yet Zoya’s face said otherwise as she then began to speak, “Really? Well that’s strange, the school called and said you NEVER showed up, So try another one.” She glared at Ivan as Ivan gave an awkward smile, he began to sweat as he said, “Fine, I skipped school and went to a friend's house for a party.” She still looked disappointed as she countered that lie with yet another hard truth, “You don’t smell like alcohol, and I know you would skip any party to go to that damn art class, If you don’t want to tell me what happened it’s fine, but kiss your phone goodbye for at LEAST a week, Kapeesh?” Ivan’s mouth opened as he closed it with a frown, in an upset voice he would then hand over his phone with a frown, “Kapeesh.” Zoya then looked at the male before her as she looked him up and down, “Go get yourself a shower and then it’s off to bed, Don’t you DARE touch your computer.” she squinted her eyes at Ivan as he nodded, “Fine fine I won't touch my computer, What do you take me for, a disobedient child?” he said sarcastically, yet Zoya didn’t think twice before saying, “After what happened today I am leaning towards setting you out as a disobedient child.” Ivan felt quite offended, yet he did have it coming as he nodded he walked up the stairs and into the bathroom, he prepared himself for a shower, as he looked down at his arm at the bandages on his wrist he slowly unravel it, the wound would no longer be bleeding yet it looked quite gnarly! He then would go and take his shower. As he walked into the room Yuu looked at him with a strange look, as Ivan was hiding the carving behind his back, Yuu was suspicious and so he was about to find out what Ivan was hiding. Yuu approached Ivan as he then went for a hug (This was fairly normal, Yuu is usually a bubbly, huggy person and such) as Yuu hugged the male yuu reached and grabbed Ivan’s hidden arm overpowering the male to pull it to him to see what he was hiding, As he gazed upon the forbidden message left in his arm his jaw dropped, “W-what the hell happened to you?” Yuu’s voice shook with terror, as he spoke those words, Ivan quickly hid his wrist before saying, “Yuu remember that time you had gotten yourself drunk and I babysat you so mom would never find out?” He nodded before Ivan continued, “You said you 'Owed me one' make that up right now by not telling ANYONE about this, especially mom, Can I trust you?” He looked like he was thinking about it before the male gave a stern look followed by a nod as Ivan smiled a tad mouthing the words, “Thank you.” to the male, Ivan would then walk over to Yuu’s computer as he sat down he began to type in the password (The password being, “Yuchiro is dah beast”) As soon as the computer opened Ivan went straight to the internet browser as he typed in the words, “KAMAITACHI” As soon as he hit enter, A website was the first recommended, as he clicked on it, it showed a picture of a Shi****mi. He stared down the fowl photo as he turned to the information page, a long list of words appeared on the screen as he copied and pasted all of those words into google translate, translating the language to one he could read, as he looked at the newly translated words he began to read, “Kamaitachi, a gang in which the members make this corrupt city something of worth, changing each person by doing what the police are too scared to do, the police are weak, they don’t understand how to fully stop the murderers of this town, they don’t give the people an incentive, but we do. We aren’t afraid to do what’s necessary, Kill. The cops only care about money, any criminal can get out of jail as long as the cops get paid enough. The cops have no idea how to run this city, but we do. If you have “THE MARK'' then you have been chosen for a greater cause! You know where to go.” The article ended leaving Ivan stunned, so many thoughts rushed through his head, he couldn’t wrap his head around the idea of gangs and why was he the one to end up with a mark? Ivan closed Yuu’s computer as he walked to his bed laying down, he thought to himself only to be interrupted by Zoya busting through Ivan’s door with a smile, “IVAN!” She yelled with excitement, Ivan absoloutly spooked, he sat up hiding his carving under the blanket as he looked at Zoya saying, “Yes mom?” She then showed Ivan the text she found on Ivan’s phone, “YOU GOT A GIRLS NUMBER TODAY?” Ivan’s kinda looked down as he bit his lip in embarrassment he knew it was only a bit of time before she found out, He sighed before speaking, “Yes mom, I did. Now why are you going through my phone?” She then spoke, “I wasn’t but your phone buzzed and I was curious to see who was texting you and, It Was A Girl, SO I may or may not have read the text and just LOOK!” She held the phone in Ivan’s face so he could read the text, The text reading, “Hey you are pretty cool, I was wondering if you wanted to go hang out at the bowling alley tomorrow, text me when you can :P” Zoya gave a smile as she said, “You get your phone back! It’s kind of embarrassing to tell your “Date” that you got your phone taken.” Ivan looked at Zoya as he said, “She’s not my date!” He frowned at the female standing before him, Zoya just giggled before saying, “Alright alright, Now don’t leave her on read, go ahead and text her back.” Zoya gave a small wave before walking out the room, closing the door. Ivan just looked at the text as excitement flooded his body, he then quickly messaged back, “What time?” He stared at the text he had just sent impatiently, he then saw a notification that showed she was typing before reading out the message sent to him, “Hmmm, What about 3:00 P.M. Does that sound good?” Ivan smiled as he messaged her back, “That sounds great! I can’t wait :D '' Ivan closed his phone as he layed back on his bed, his joy only to be ruined by Yuu’s teasing, “So I was right! You are in loooove, How adorable! My Little brother is such a ladies man.” Ivan just wanted to die as he turned away from yuu closing his eyes trying to avoid this conversation through unconsciousness. The next morning he woke up. He knew today was the day! He came downstairs sliding down the handrail on the stairs, with a loud, “THUMP!” He hit the floor only to see Zoya in the kitchen. She smiled as she began her teasing, “Someone’s happy this morning, Is it because you got a date today?” A smirk formed on her face, Ivan just sighed before fussing at her, “She isn’t my DATE, Mom she is just a friend.” She then gave a giggle as she turned towards the stove, she was doing something, yet whatever it was wasn’t in sight, She then spoke, “Sureeee she isn’t, My apologies mister grumpy, She is just your friend. . .” She then mumbled, “who has the hots for youuu.” Ivan just huffed, walking past her he said with an upset tone, “Yeah Yeah, REAL mature mom.” He kept walking as he walked out of the kitchen through the hall, he then took a left as he entered the living room, where he found Yuu sitting on the couch watching a professional volleyball game on their tv.Chapter four: “Negotiation”
Chapter five: “Blessed rain before the drought”
Chapter five: “Blessed rain before the drought”
Ivan stared at Yuu, He then spoke, “Come on man, Don’t you watch stuff at the volleyball house?” Yuu then spoke, “But I would much rather watch this show, in the comfort of my own home!” Ivan blinked, His face just the definition of annoyed, He knew that Yuu stayed at the volleyball house more than his own home, And when Ivan confronted Yuu about spending so much time there he always said, “It’s basically my home.” Ivan just sighed knowing that he won’t be watching Tv today, he just walked away in hopes of finding some other non boring activity, during Ivan’s hunt he got a brilliant idea! He would go to the Plaza, A place where he goes to meet new people and cure his boredom. He grabbed his coat as he said quite loudly so everyone in the apartment could hear him, “Hey, I'm headed out, see you later.” The male opened the door and walked out. He continued walking down the long hall of apartments, every few feet a door being placed with a number plastered onto the top of the door. He made it down the hallway as he went to the elevator as he pressed the button at the very bottom. The button used to have a one on it, but it was clicked so often it had been worn off. He made it to the bottom as he dashed out, he passed up the bowling alley, as he continued down his usual path to get to school, once he got to a little family owned store, he took a right onto the crosswalk, stopping before he went across to make sure he saw no cars. Once he saw the coast was clear he continued across the walk before going down the sidewalk entering a place loaded with people, the plaza had a bunch of little gardens around a big flower garden surrounded by railings. There were two parks on each side of the plaza encased by square topiary. The wall of bush had an opening in the middle lined with red beams creating a great doorway that looked well kept and clean. Ivan waltzed his way through the plaza stopping at a bench, he then placed himself on said bench as he kept an eye on the happenings of the town’s people. Ivan loved watching everyone at the plaza, all the different people, all the things happening around him, so much to watch, so much to draw. Ivan began to pull out his notepad as he began to picture how to draw such an extravagant scene, he pulled out his sketching pencil and began to sketch, his hand gliding across the page as he looked diligently at his work, he made frequent glances upward to make sure he is capturing what he is seeing in his artwork, he would eventually finish his art as he then looked around for a random person to give it to. Ivan never really kept his work, he always just handed it off, it’s just his thing. He spotted a tall man who looked much older than Ivan, he approached with caution, the man did look pretty spooky in Ivan’s eyes, he then tapped the male’s shoulder and said, “I drew this, I hope you enjoy it, sir.” The male snatched up the paper as he looked it over, a smile grew on his face before saying in a husky voice, “This is great! If only you would’ve done one of me in my uniform!” Ivan’s smile turned to confusion as he replied in a questioning tone, “Uniform?” The male then replied with, “Yes, uniform, I’m a member of the Karakura Police Department, as most know as KPD.” Ivan nodded as a way of showing he understood now, he thought of a response before remembering the horrible thing that happened the night before, his mind flooded as a voice from within told him to tell the officer what had happened. Ivan opened his mouth to speak before he heard the katana wielding man’s voice in his head, “. . . I’ll find you.” Just then Ivan’s throat went dry as he just waved and backed away, he quickly gathered his stuff and dashed away into one of the parks, the one he dashed into had a bridge going over a small koi pond, the male went onto the bridge and collapsed thinking about that dreaded experience that happened the night before, his brain flooding with everything he experienced. A nausea flooded his body keeping him from seeing straight, he felt fear and pain that kept him from moving. Ivan layed there taking deep breaths trying to calm himself down. Suddenly, he heard a voice call to him, “. . . Ivan . . . Ivan . . . Ivan . . . IVAN!” He snapped to look up, there he saw Zoya, a worried look on her face she was sitting next to him on the bridge as she looked at him, she began to speak, her voice sounded quivery, “What happened? Why are you on the ground? Why weren’t you responding to me?” Ivan took a deep breath as he attempted a lie to escape the situation, “I fainted, sorry I worried you mom.” She then pulled him to a hug before saying, “You better be sorry for worrying me! I thought you were dying or something.” She sighed as she pulled away from the hug, She stood holding out a hand for him to grab onto to stand up, Ivan shook his head no to her hand as he pushed himself to his feet wobbling a little as he got up, he just looked at Zoya as she kept her worried look, the male spoke to comfort her, “All you do is worry don’t you? I’m fine I promise mom, now if you excuse me, I have a date to get ready for.” Her face lit up with a big grin hearing him say the word “date” she had pretty much forgotten about what happened. The feeling of nausea rushed to Ivan’s head as he stood, but he kept himself standing with an almost smile, he couldn’t worry Zoya anymore; she didn't deserve such worry in her life. Ivan began to walk off, his path set straight for home he kept a steady pace. He had left the plaza continuing steadily across the pavement, his steps a little wobbly from his recent dizzy spell. Ivan walked past the family store, his mind raced as he thought about all that had happened, he started to breath heavily, yet he knew he had to stop or he would faint again, he inhaled sharply as he exhaled slowly he changed the subject of his thoughts to those of better origin, he began to think about what to wear, he fell into intense thought about something so simple, he had stopped paying attention to wear he was walking and before he could do anything he ran into a light post, he had fallen dead onto his back, groaning and rolling in pain. He had sat up looking around to make sure no one had witnessed the happenings, as he looked around he spotted a dark figure in an alleyway looking straight at him, upon noticing them he quickly looked away, his heart began to race hoping the person hadn’t seen him talking to the police officer, he began to sweat breathing heavily, he had pushed himself onto his feet with his arms as he began to continue on. His legs felt weak from the amount of stress he felt, yet he pushed on and continued his forward march. As he walked he felt chills running down his neck, not from knowledge that he is being followed, but from the idea that the person got the wrong idea from his talking to that police officer. He neared the elevator as he walked in and pressed the floor 3 button, he took a deep breath when the elevator door closed, the knowledge he was out of sight brought him peace, he walked down the hall to the apartment he knew so well, he pulled out a small brass key as he slid it into the lock turning it, he had done it so many time before it’s muscle memory now. Once he walked in he locked the door, and completely relaxed. Finally, he felt safe! All was good for him as he walked up the stairs, and into his room getting ready, he took a hoodie as he sniffed it quite well just to make sure it was usable, he continued getting ready settling on a pair of black jeans with a red hoodie that said, “Charging . . .'' with a battery on it. Ivan stood proud in the mirror smiling in admiration at his choice, the feeling of accomplishment flooded his body, yet another strong feeling started turning that accomplishment to worry, was it the last experience he had? No! Ivan was completely terrified of this date he was about to go on! He grabbed his key as he checked the time, he realized he would be late if he didn’t get a move on, so he slid his wallet and phone into his pocket as he dashed out the door to the bowling alley!
