Thread: The Religious and the Delinquent (Ryax + RV)

Sora felt that she had helped him just about enough now, cleaning him a bit more then she needed too and that he could tolerate for now. He moved his hands softly, almost swatting and pushing her arms away but he didn't want to hurt her. That's enough.., he said with a low, firm and retracted tone. Sora listened patiently to her words, and slowly, very slowly but surely realizing and letting the fact that he was actually not alone for this project to sink into his mind. He still didn't want anyone else to work wish as he could fend for his own just perfectly weather it came down to a fight or to studies. Sora sighed a bit again as he said a bit softly, Look.. You seem like a genuinely good person. I don't want to drag you down along with me. So I might as well comply with what you ask of me, doing us both a favor so that we can get this mess over with and you can get away from me as soon as possible... He looked at her, clearly frowning at her words as she asked him if he had anything that he wanted to do the project about. His eyes averting and looking away for a second then returning themselves to looking into hers, Uh.. No, I don't., he said lightly. His lie was as clear as day to himself, shown in his eyes and his movements at that point, but he hoped that it wasn't as easy for her to see it. What Sora really wanted to study about, was archery. He was in fact a really great archer, even inheriting a very old, ancient and powerful war bow by his parents that had disappeared a couple of years back when things had begun to take a left turn in his life. But no one knew that he had any other side to him then just being a delinquent, let alone his many other secrets that not many others knew about either. I think it would be best if you chose something that you'd want us to do., he continued firmly, although quickly adding and spouting out a couple of ridiculous themes, But make it something fun and exciting, will ya? I don't want to have to spend months on an entire project on how crickets mate, how a bumblebee can actually fly, or how certain gases erode the ozone layers in the atmosphere... Although he is a great archer, he didn't want anyone to know anything about him, other then that they should get rid and be rid of him from their lives. The days before high school, he was actually a prominent scholar. He was talented in most things, chemistry, physics, astrology, biology, math, and much more so, in archery. During his years he had found a great friend in a girl of a class above him. It was a little bit taboo, but he found himself liking her more and more as the years went by. They had become great friends, bordering into something else, or so he thought. One day, he had approached her, mustering up his courage to tell her how he really felt. He got up to her, telling her how he felt, but all she did was to start laughing wildly and saying bad things about and to him as both of their friends had gathered and started to laugh as well. He had ran away from the scene, from the laughter, crying hard as his heart had thoroughly been crushed to dust. The next day she had left the school, she had moved far across Japan away from him, seemingly to get away from him and his ridiculous stupidity. She had been his world, his love. Shortly after, his parents had died in a plane accident. Everything he had held dear had been effectively erased, and all his relatives were either missing or dead. From that point on, his heart had built a solid diamond wall around it to keep anything from happening. His studies had dropped, he stopped caring for what people thought about him and he started getting into difficult fights. The next more difficult then the last. Eventually he had been labeled a simple delinquent, his bright past had been effectively erased and forgotten and everything had been shut away as to not break him again. He didn't think about his situation anymore, but rather just let himself in on it and embraced it. This is how he lived his life now, not really caring about others, not caring about his studies and certainly not following most of the rules, at least not when other's were around. However he still had his former self safely tucked away inside of him, everything he read he planted in his memories, quickly growing smarter each day, he was still a very prominent archer as he practiced in secret every day as well. He wouldn't let himself fall back to who he was before, it was too painful to even graze those memories and emotions as of now.
