NAKU JOSEI'S
THE HIDDEN HATRED

"Damachi-san!" yuki from a distance.

"Don't! Stay there!" Nori-san warned Yuki and Jack not to come closer, but Naku Josei, who had already noticed the arrival of the two of them, charged straight at them.

Jack pulled Yuki's hand and pushed her to the side. Jack receives an attack from Naku Josei, and throws him into a tree trunk.

"Jack!" yuki Shouts.

"Damn!" Nori-san was about to get out of the circle, but Tomo-san held her hand.

Pouring the book in his hand, Tomo-san said, "Take this book, and go to a shady place. If it gets wet, you'll have trouble reading it."

"But- "

"Listen to me!" sela Tomo-san's. "You have to do it right now, or it'll all be for nothing!"

"But what about you?" ask Nori-san.

"Why are you worried about me? it's all my fault! So ... go! Go!" tomo-san snapped while pushing her.

On the other hand, Yuki ran towards Jack to make him stand up. For the second time the demon again attacked the two of them, but this time the attack was thwarted by Nori-san who quickly threw the last salt he had from behind.

Nori-san ran towards the two of them and directly pulled Yuki's hand. "Quick! we gotta get out of here!"

The three of them returned to the mud pit, then jumped down and ran into the cave.

"Hey, turn on your cell phone flashlight!" nori-san.

"What about Tomo-san?" ask Yuki.

"There's nothing we can do under these circumstances but run. I have obtained the book, which is why we should lure the demon to a slightly large place" Nori-san explained.

The three of them continued to run inside the darkness of the cave passage to return towards Raion temple. At the same time, Tomo-san, who looks like she is dying, rests on a tree with blood that does not stop flowing out of her stomach.

He knew that he was going to die, because his bleeding was so severe it was impossible for him to stop.

His head felt dizzy and his vision began to blur; a weakened heartbeat; breathless breathing; he began to hallucinate and remember all of his past.

Flashback ...

June, 1989. Raion Temple.

"Hoe, Tomo-kun," a man approached. "Look .. there's a new student. She's a girl" he said, setting his sights on one of the beautiful girls who was walking with Kotaro sensei in the temple corridor.

"Who is that ?" inner Tomo-san.

"Alright children, now gathered in front of the temple courtyard" a monk said.

The disciples walked towards the temple grounds and made a line.

That afternoon, Kotaro sensei announces about the summer vacation that has finally arrived. It made the disciples happy and cheered happily.

"Oh yeah, before we start this afternoon's lesson, I'll introduce your new friends to this academy" Kotaro sensei called the girl whom Tomo-san saw just a moment ago.

The girl looks neat, polite, and smiley. From his appearance alone had made the disciples who lined up to be stunned.

"wooaah .. beautiful," murmured some of the students who were marching.

The girl walked forward up the stairs, then began to introduce herself.

"Watashinonamaewa Noridesu. hajimemashite,"

(My name is Nori, nice to meet you guys) he said with his head down.

"My name is Jintan! Greetings, yes ..," exclaimed a fat student there who was then timped by several other students who also introduced their names to him.

The day passed, and the day changed. Nori-san, who was a new student there, began to adapt and get used to the other students. Not only were his friends amazed by him. The teachers were amazed to see the intelligence and intelligence that he had. It seemed to have fascinated Tomo-san every time she saw Nori-san.

"It looks like Nori-chan will be your rival, huh ... Tomo-kun," said one of his friends; insinuating, because Tomo-san was the smartest student back then with the highest marks in the academy.

"It seems like I'm starting to like it" Tomo-san muttered inwardly.

Her feelings began to flow when the academy did camping activities on Mount Tomioka. That night, they sat next to each other. While drinking warm tea, they talked to each other; exchanged stories and told their ideals.

Tomo-san's heart becomes even more unnerved as Nori-san's sweet smile makes her heart beat so fast.

"I have to be honest with him. I'll say it," inner Tomo-san.

A few days after that night, Tomo-san said to her friends that she would express her feelings to Nori-san. All his friends looked shocked, but also supported him.

They also prepared the right time and place.

Until that day comes for Tomo-san to express her feelings. Khisima, one of his friends gave a bunch of flowers to give to Nori-san.

"Here, he will definitely like this flower" said khisima while thrusting the flower.

Finally, that afternoon, at 2:00 PM. Tomo-san takes Nori-san to a garden behind the temple. There, he began to express all his feelings.

Tomo-san thrusts a flower at him. "I-I .. like you, Nori-chan!" revealed.

There was no answer from Nori-san other than just a laugh coming out of her mouth.

"Why are you laughing? I mean it, you know!" emphatically.

"Eeeeto .. how, yes. Honestly, I'm not interested in romance, or rather not interested, especially at this young age" Nori-san stepped back. "And you too, Tomo-kun. Aren't you going to be a monk? A monk can't date, you know!" abugn.

"But ...,"

"Here you go, I don't have time for this kind of thing. We're not friends, are we?" Nori-san started walking. "Oh yeah, one more." he turned the body. "I'm very allergic to flowers" he said, who then walked away from Tomo-san.

It made Tomo-san pause for a moment, until her friends who were peeking from a distance approached her and patted her on the shoulder.

"There are still many girls sweeter than him, Tomo-kun," said Jintan.

But, all the persuasions from his friends were not comforting at all for Tomo-san. He began to look upset and threw the flower in his hand, then stomped on it until it was destroyed.

"Hoe ... What are you doing? Tomo-kun!" khisima held his hand.

Tomo-san let go of the solemn hand; ignored all the words of her friends, and ran away.

From that day on, Tomo-san secretly starts to hate Nori-san. That feeling of love had turned into deep hatred.

His hatred for Nori-san grew even more so when Nori-san started to take over her position as the highest ranked disciple.

All attention began to go to Nori-san who was already the smartest student in the academy at that time, especially when she got the award from the government for her achievements.

It makes Tomo-san jealous and spiteful of the girl he once admired. He continues to live his life with hate in his heart, and the hatred continues to this day.

JREEESSSSCZ ... GLUDIK!

The rain fell more and more, and Tomo-san lay dying with blood still flowing violently from her stomach.

"It's raining, I really hate it. No, Nori-chan ... Even today, you still make my heart flutter. If only you felt what I felt all along. Nori-chan ...," inner Tomo-san.

"My time has come, huh? Finally ...," Tomo-san started to close both her eyes.

"Goodbye ... Nori-chan."
