LOVE OR DEAD
CHAPTER I: MEETING HIM

The sound of the waves hitting the rock, the cold wind caressing my long hair. I sat on the rocks on the rock and stared at the sea in the darkness of the night. The cold nights in Hokkaido are full of silence and stars strewn across the sky.

Megumi let out a long sigh while hugging both her legs beside me.

“Chiyo, it's so cold tonight. Let's go home, your mother must be looking for her mu” whining.

“Megumi.. a little more, let me see the beautiful star that illuminates the sea tonight. The final exam of the semester has ended, which is a relief. I want to hit all my fatigue here” sahutku still staring at the pounding waves.

“Although we're going up to class XII but I'm still not relieved, my grades continue to deteriorate. Especially in class XII I have to fix all the values of – nilaiku”.

“Learn even better, take private lessons to increase your grades. Keep the spirit, there is nothing impossible” I also gave him the spirit and embrace it with a smile.

At 21:00 felt Shiretoko beach began to deserted, we walked running towards the direction of the exit of the beach. Arrived – arrived Megumi accidentally hit a bunch of boys – boys dressed all in black.

“Hey where are your eyes?!” ask a man – long-haired men brown to shoulder who was pigtailed.

“I'm sorry, I was too excited to not look in front of” Megumi replied rather scared.

“Wah, my eyes were hit by pieces of beach sand nih gegara hit by this boy” sahut men – men paraded pufferfish with a stocky body.

“My friend has apologized, please do not extend” I said while embracing Megumi.

“Nak once apologized, you guys have to kneel first. Maybe we will forgive” add men – long-browed men with taper chin, his face is sickening.

I also put my body, I stand one step ahead of Megumi while staring intently at the – taper man.

“Do not delay when talking, we are in good faith. If you guys try to disturb us, I'll yell” threatened me.

The pufferfish came forward to face me with his hands on his waist and he said “We are afraid, who is wrong here. Beautiful girl, you should have done it. Don't make us angry”.

Megumi quivered, held my right hand and said softly “Have followed their will, instead of us being – as they are. We are not their opponents, no matter how strong you are they are 7 people”.

“Retreat, telephon Hiroshi now. I'll face them” whispered me.

Slowly Megumi backed away and started to move away.

“Where are the kids, run away yah?” ask a male – brunettes.

“Wah – wah, you are left behind. Ready to receive punishment from us alone?” ask a male – taper leafy male.

“I'm here just want to say an apology, and our business is done” I replied firmly.

The pufferfish laughs “HA.. HA... HA..it is not that easy”. He who is in front of me then holds my left shoulder with his right hand.

Unable to stand their time-consuming drama, I instantly squeezed his right hand that was on my shoulder with both hands and twisted his hand. Until his body leaned down and I kicked him with my right leg. The pufferfish fell in the sand, while his friend – friends began to advance.

“Hei pretty girl, it seems you are good at fighting too. Do not blame us if your body is destroyed because we” a man – men with the highest body that had begun to speak quietly.

“Fight me if I can” I said smile while ready – ready to escape from them.

I also ran as hard as I could and was chased by a bunch of badung children. At least my legs are trained every day running after the bus to school. The cold night wind hit me who kept running in pursuit – chase. Megumi must have been in a safe place and waited for Hiroshi. I'm the only one who has to find a hiding place.

“Hey don't run, we'll get you and finish you!” shouted the pointy chin who kept running after me with his friend – friends. Wait why there are 6 people where 1 person, there is 1 person who does not come after me. At least the pufferfish was out of breath and gave up, yupss.

The breath was no longer able to keep running, I found a box on the edge of a shop and began to hide behind the box. Looks like they are still running – run in front of the store, I set my breath so as not to be caught. After I made sure it was safe, I walked in the opposite direction.

“You...”kataku, instantly he grabbed my coarsely decomposed hair. His right hand that grabbed my hair like the wind, his hand movements were extremely fast.

“Aaaa....sick, please....!!!” I shouted while looking for help. But no one passed, the night was true – true silence far from the reach of people. Even the shop at the end of the street was invisible to the eye.

He is the – paleest-faced man by smoking a cigarette that stands at the back and disappears from the horde earlier, when his – friends chase me.

He kicked me in the stomach, stepped on my hand holding a cell phone. Then took my phone and threw it in the middle of the road. He was no match for me, his movements were extremely fast and his flat face was extremely unpredictable.

Damn there's no CCTV along this road, even if I die nobody will know.

I who was still slumped on the pavement while moaning in pain holding my stepped hand could only hold back the anger and stare at it sharply. He crouched down next to me, pulled out a match and lit a cigarette. As soon as he was relaxed he looked at me while smoking a cigarette, throwing his cigarette smoke into my face.

On the other side, Hiroshi's voice called me on the phone.

“Chiyo... where are you, answer me. please answer me” the voice then die.

“Your name is Chiyo?” ask her with a flat face.

I just kept quiet and kept staring at him.

His athletic body seemed to be very well trained, his pale white skin was full of muscles. He who was wearing a hoodie and a black hat as well as black trousers, was extremely frightening.

“So can shout, now pura – pura mute. Do I have to tear your mouth?” so flat the intonation of his voice but the more heard the more frightening.

“What do you want?” many of me tried to calm down and did not want to be intimidated by his terrible aura.

“I like your eyes right – really beautiful, your gaze is very bold. No one dares to look at me like that, should I pry both of your eyeballs to remember – memories?” he said then smile at me.

A cold smile that I can never forget…

Arrived – arrived there was a ringtone of the phone ringing, and it was his phone that was in his pocket.

“Hei Asahi, what's up?” he asked while holding his phone and taped it to his left ear.

I don't know what the answer was from the phone, then he stood up and left me.

I was saved because of that phone call, God helped me. Thank goodness I didn't die silly because of that vampire. I call him a vampire because of his pale white skin and his flat eyes.

Hiroshi and Megumi found me, and I was rushed to the hospital because my right hand finger was broken by the goddamn vampire.

Next day...

Sunlight came in through the hospital window, I found my father sitting across my bed with a calm face and my hands resting on his chest.

“Good morning dad” said with a smile while sitting in bed.

“Hmmm... Who are you fighting with?” ask Dad without saying anything.

“Owh... I don't know just the street kids who are not clear” replied me with a cry.

“Your hands must be casted for 1 month to recover, during that time I will not allow you to go out without family members” Dad also gave a sentence of confinement at home because he was worried. I could see his face full of worry.
