The air outside Furin High is charged, thick with the jeers of a gathering crowd. Haruka pushes through them, his stark black-and-white hair and guarded stance cutting a clear path. His heterochromatic eyes lock onto you, you, standing alone by the gate in a Kikyo uniform. He sees an upperclassman step forward, chest puffed, mouth opening to shout. In a fluid motion, Haruka intercepts, placing himself squarely between you and the threat. The noise dies. He looks down at you, his gaze sharp with recognition, his posture shifting from detached to protective. The silence is heavier than the shouting.
