Re:DUX Side Story E - Bokura no Regatta---
"Yui-nee!"
Yui looked back and saw her younger sister, Yamamoto Sayaka to pounce on her, which she complied to with a hug.
"So, how was school?" Yui smiled as she fixed Sayanee's messy locks. "Anything good happened?"
"Nothing, really." Sayanee flaunted a toothy smile and said,"Thanks for fetching me always afterschool, Yui-nee."
Yui smiled and patted Sayanee's head lightly,"You're welcome."
"So, Yui-nee, how is highschool?" Sayanee suddenly asked, catching Yui off-guard. "H-Huh, well it's fun. People do say that Highschool is one of the best and most carefree stages of life, after all."
"Sounds like fun."
"Sure it does." Yui faked a smile as she opened the iron gate in front of her.
-
"So, have you adjusted to your new school yet?" Yamada Nana, Sayanee's mother asked her daughter who seems to be quietly making her assignment.
"Not really." Sayaka replied. "I miss Maachun and the others."
Nana looked at the girl sadly who continued to write something on her notebook. She couldn't place the blame on anyone except for her and her husband, or rather her previous husband. Due to their divorce, not only did Sayaka witness her parents' love for each other diminish as every day pass by at such a young age, but they also had to move away from their mansion in Sakae to their villa in Namba. Sayaka had to leave her childhood friends whom she treasures up until now, who had a lot of trouble getting along with the troublesome girl before. Sayaka had that attitude of pushing people away, probably because of the reason that she didn't want them to get hurt or offended, but in reality she really wanted to be friends with everyone.
"Sayaka..." Her mother looked at her with a sad smile on her face,"You've got to at least try and make new friends..."
Sayaka shook her head in disagreement,"Nah... I'm okay."
"Well, have you ever talked to anyone in the class?"
"Well..." Sayaka paused, removing her grip from her pen,"There was there girl who kept on pestering me. I guess that she wants to be friends with me or something."
"Really?" Nana held her daughter's hand in excitement,"What's her name?"
"I think her name was Watanabe Miyuki."
-
The next day, when she also refused to ride the car, with the reason of the school is just a few steps ahead anyway. Her mother had no choice to comply and Yui, being the responsible older sister that she was had to send her to school.
"Have fun!" Nana waved at the two sisters. "Sayanee, try to get along with Miyuki!"
Sayaka sighed as she continued to walk away, and she ended up dragging Yui with her.
"What's wrong, Sayaka?" Yui asked. "Who's Miyuki?"
"My annoying seatmate." Sayaka huffed.
"Did you get into a fight with her?"
Sayaka shifted her eyes away from Yui and said,"We didn't. I've always refused talking with her. She's way too noisy for me."
"Is that so?" Yui said. "Can you point at her later?"
"No," Sayaka sighed. "I'm sure that you'd get to know her sooner or later anyway."
Yui pondered on Sayaka's last words as they enter the main building,"What does she mean by I'd get to know her sooner or later anyway?"
-
"Sayaka!" As usual, the classroom was empty except for a girl, wearing glasses and the Namba Middle School uniform formally and had a happy and sweet aura went near Sayaka, who ignored her and laid her bag on the desk.
"Who's she?" Miyuki asked, not knowing who Yui was.
"Ah, my name's Yui. I'm Sayaka's older sister. Nice to meet you." Yui smiled to the girl who was a bit shorter than she was.
"Ah, my name's Watanabe Miyuki." The girl grabbed Yui's hand, and nearly making Sayaka swat her hand in annoyance. "Nice to meet you."
Yui could just conform an awkward smile as she felt the girl's warm hand, and waited for the girl to let go. When the girl let go of her hand, she squeaked as the girl slightly grasped her hand tighter before letting go, easily making her feel flustered.
"Are you okay Yui-nee?" Sayaka asked, concern obvious in her tone. "Hey, Watanabe!"
Yui held Sayaka back and said,"I-I'm okay, I was just surprised, nothing major..."
Miyuki's face looked glum afterwards, which made Yui feel a tinge of guilt slowly creeping into her being and out of instinct she patted Miyuki's head lightly much to the two girls' surprise.
"It's okay." Yui smiled.
To Yui's surprise, Miyuki hugged her waist and started wailing but she didn't push her away and instead hugged her back.
'Why is she crying...?' Sayaka thought as she finally felt her heart melt at the scene. Miyuki looked so fragile; she was so vulnerable that her heart couldn't take it and she gently rubbed the girl's back, slightly hoping it could somewhat soothe the girl.
"I-It's okay." Sayaka blurted out, stuttering of nervousness. She never had to calm anyone except for Jo, who was a crybaby to begin with. "M-Miyuki."
Miyuki's ears perked up as soon as she heard her first name being spoken, while Sayaka was surprised that she said the girl's name out of a whim. She just wanted to calm the girl down, because maybe Yui's waist was starting to hurt or something.
"Sayaka... do you hate me?" Miyuki looked at Sayaka, with tears still evident in her eyes that fogged up her glasses. "Please... don't hate me..."
"No. Of course not." Sayaka finally smiled at Miyuki, a scene that Miyuki never saw ever since the girl transferred schools.
Sayaka felt something press against her as she found Milky wrapping her arms against her neck, and like what her sister did, she didn't push her away. She laid her chin on the girl's neck and rubbed the girl's back.
"okuba kamishimenagarahohoemu hi..." To Yui and Miyuki's surprise Sayaka sang as she rubbed Miyuki's back. Sayaka rarely sung for anyone, for she hated it. She only sung for her mother and father's anniversary, and hated singing after their divorce. "...Idatte aru sasonna tsurai tokikoko ni kitetachiagaru renshuu dachotto yudan suru tonamida ga koboreru karaonaka no kono atarichikara iretehana no ue jin to shite momakenai yo..."
After singing, she pulled away and looked at Miyuki who was finally smiling.
"Thanks for letting me hear your beautiful voice." The girl gave a toothy smile.
Sayaka grabbed Miyuki's glasses and rubbed their lenses on her cardigan. "Here. Don't cry again. I'll be always near you, you can tell me anything like you always do."
"Were you listening?" Miyuki gladly took her glasses and put them on.
"I was."
Of course Sayaka remembers.
Because Sayaka was unsociable because of a rather large number reasons and number one was that she was dangerous, but when Sayaka told Miyuki that, she giggled. Miyuki didn't care and instead continued to talk about how lonely she was and how she was bullied and isolated and the fact that she had no one to talk to except for Sayaka. And now Sayaka felt guilty that she was the only one who Miyuki trusted and she continued to push her away, even though her heart had irregular beat patterns whenever the girl was near her.
"Sorry." Sayaka apologized.
"It's okay." Miyuki smiled.
"From now on, I'm gonna be your friend. I'll always be with you no matter what happens, and I swear to protect you at all costs."
-
Since that day on, Sayaka was always with Miyuki, talking and having fun. So much that their classmates thought that they were a couple. Miyuki's haters were afraid of Sayaka, since there were rumors of her punching a bunch of guys out cold when they tried to molest Miyuki. So therefore, there was at least a bit of peace.
"What do you want to eat today?" Sayaka asked.
"Yakisoba-pan or melon-pan." Miyuki smiled as Sayaka ran to the canteen lady, pushing guys out of her way. Her strength was something alright, as she suceeded in cutting in the line for the ever so rare yakisoba-pan. She was able to get the last two, and so she happily skipped away with it.
"Woah, Sayaka that's awesome!" Miyuki grinned and held the bread in her right hand and grasped Sayaka's hand with her left. "Let's go."
"Where are we going?" Sayaka asked.
"The rooftop, of course." Miyuki smiled as she continued to walk ahead of Sayaka.
-
"What's going to happen after we graduate?" Sayaka asked while still chewing bread. "Sorry for a random question."
"Well, I'll be staying in here since this is my grandfather's school anyway." Miyuki said with a wry smile on her face. "Up until university, and who knows if I'll spend my time for the rest of my life in this institution."
"That's boring." Sayaka said.
"I know." Miyuki replied with a dry laugh. "It's my fate."
"To be as boring as your grandfather is? Oh please. Of that happens consider our friendship over."
"Hey!" Miyuki said as she pushed the girl forward, causing Sayaka to topple over while grabbing onto Miyuki's necktie.
There was a loud sound followed by silence as the two girls found something pressing against each others' lips.
"Mmph?" Sayanee stared at the girl who was none other than Miyuki.
However, just as fast as the kiss happened, it was as fast that Miyuki pulled away with an apology.
"I-I'm sorry!" Miyuki spoke at the top of her voice, but Sayaka just sat up, blushing. "Are you okay, Sayaka?"
"I'm fine." Sayaka stood up as she fixed her skirt's wrinkles and tried to stop blushing, but the thought of Miyuki's lips touhing hers made her blush go in a deeper hue. A strawberry taste lingered in Sayaka's lips, it probably was Miyuki's chapstick. The thought of how it tastes made her knees weak and something made her chest warm. But she shook off the thought; she couldn't fall in love with a friend... much more with her bestfriend!
She hoped that her heart would just keep quiet, but even her head hurts for some reason. She hoped that this was just infatuation.
'Well it could never be love anyway.' Sayaka whispered to herself.
"Well isn't it my turn to ask a random question next?" Miyuki smiled.
"What's it?"
"What are those gloves for?" Miyuki asked.
"To restrain my power." Sayaka replied. "I have an expulsive wolf demon residing in my body. Like the rest of my clan."
"Like Naruto?"
"Who?!" Sayaka growled. "Don't compare me to a weakling who couldn't control a mere demon. More than that, you believe me?!"
"Of course, you see I sense a something in your gloves." Miyuki smiled. "Black and red auras. Dangerous."
Sayaka started sniffing the girl,"Y-You're that descendant of that great priestress..."
"Watanabe Maaya." Miyuki smiled. "Yeah... but my family weren't aware. Maaya-sama chooses a descendant every 50 years in our family without anyone knowing. So everyone except from me have some sort of other power."
Sayaka face-palmed,"I've never noticed..."
-
Sayaka and Miyuki eventually had to graduate from middle school and go to highschool. They both chose Namba Jyogakuin and were admitted into the Star Section without any difficulty. In the new school, they were able to make new friends and make the bullies scurry away with Sayaka's scary presence (That girls find cool for some reason.) And the two were even able to join the Dance club and be chosen as representatives of the club.
With all these new things happening, it made Sayaka more possessive of Miyuki. She wanted her for herself and it's consuming her self-control.
"Yui-nee." Sayaka said as she knocked on her bedroom door.
"Sayaka? Come in, the door's open."
Sayaka turned the knob and the door made a creaking sound as she opened it. There was a girl she never saw before but that was probably because she never meddled with her sister's personal life. The girl and her sister was probably studying for something since exams were coming up actually.
"Um, hello." The girl unemotionally waved. "Yui, is she your younger sister?"
"Ah, yes." Yui said,
"Nice to meet you, my name's Yamamoto Sayaka." Sayaka bowed lightly.
"Nice to meet you too, my name's Paru."
"So, what's up, Sayaka? What can we help you with?" Yui asked.
Sayaka sat down and said,"Can I ask you something Yui-nee?"
"Oh, what's this about? School?"
"T-That's not it."
"Miyuki?" Hearing the name, Sayaka gulped and stayed silent.
Yui figured out that she was right by the way the girl reacted and smiled.
"Watanabe Miyuki?" Paru asked.
"Um, yes." Sayaka nodded. Miyuki was popular after all, since she was chosen as a candidate for the president position in the student council.
"Ah, she's my cousin." Paru said.
Sayaka blushed, she can't just tell Paru's cousin that she likes her.
"Your name was always mentioned to me since we transferred here." Paru said. "She seems to like you very much."
"L-Like? What?"
"She likes you. Not as a friend, I guess something more than that." Paru said bluntly. "She has this diary... full of moments between you two.'
"Woah." Yui commented. "Well? Do you like her, Sayaka?"
"I-I was actually planning on asking you for advice on confessing..." Sayaka blushed.
Yui laughed. "You don't really need to do anything. Ask her casually like you always do. I'm sure that she'll tell you what she feels too."
"But what if she rejects me? What about her friendship?" Sayaka asked.
"She won't." Paru said. "I'm giving you my utmost guarantee that she won't."
Sayaka felt a sense of relief as soon as she heard what Paru said.
-
The next day, Sayaka had to prepare a bouquet of flowers, chocolates, and a guitar in the dance club's practice room that she borrowed for a day. Being the leader, the members complied with the practice being cancelled and wished her luck.
When she felt the doorknob being opened, it brought her up to her feet. At the door there stood Miyuki, the girl she had yearned for so long.
She immediately hid the chocolates and the bouquet behind her back.
"What's up, Sayanee?" Miyuki asked, a tinge of blush evident on her fair face.
"Sorry for bothering you at a time like this." Sayaka blushed as she spoke. "But I have to tell you something."
"W-What?"
"Please l-listen to my song." Sayaka said as she sat down at her chair and Miyuki sat on the one across it.
The playing was soft, it was probably a love song. Miyuki found herself happy by listening to the music's lyrics as Sayaka sung it perfectly. As the song was about to end, Sayaka stopped and said,"I like you Miyuki! Please go out with me!"
Miyuki's eyes widened at the sudden confession. It was not as what she expected at all, since Sayaka always sung for her since that day when she found herself crying.
She couldn't believe that the person that she liked felt the same way as she did and due to impulse she stood up to hug her.
"I like you too, Sayaka."
-
"That was unexpectedly cheesy of Yamamoto Sayaka, though." Miyuki laughed.
"Hey." Sayaka said. "Anyways, here, have the flowers and the chocolates."
Miyuki stared at the bouquet and said,"How am I supposed to take this home?"
"What do you mean?"
"Once my grandfather and my mother sees this, I'm dead meat." Miyuki explained.
"Then throw is away, you have my permission."
"No way." Miyuki pouted.
"Then what?" Sayaka sighed. "Well anyways, I still have to introduce you to my mom."
"What?!" Miyuki squeaked. "This is way too sudden! What of your mother gets angry because I'm not someone from your clan?!"
"Don't get so worked up. My mom's nice, she won't do that."
Miyuki grabbed Sayaka's hand and said,"Well what are we waiting for? Let's go!"
-
That day, Sayaka had their family driver drive them home.
The butlers, the maids, and even Sayaka's mother greeted the guest with much anticipation.
"Mom, she's Watanabe Miyuki. She's my girlfriend." Sayaka said as she put her arm around Miyuki.
"Well, this calls for a celebration right?" Nana happily replied.
"You did it Sayaka." Yui patted her sister's back.
-
"So, did did you tell your mom that you're staying over?" Sayaka asked. "She can stay over, right mom?"
"Of course, sweetie." Nana raised a thumbs up sign and laughed.
"Well I already did call her but her line was busy." Miyuki replied. "So I asked the head butler to tell my mom and my grandfather."
"Don't be sad." Sayaka said as she huddled with Miyuki closer.
"Come on, since dinner's finished, I challenge you two on a battle-to-the-deafh!" Nana said as she rose from her seat and ran to the living room.
"Let's go you two slowpokes!" Yui yelled.
Miyuki nodded as they both rose up from their seats as they ran.
-
"You..." Nana huffed. "You're good."
Miyuki flashed a peace sign at the old woman who was struggling with her breathing. She was unbeatable at Dance Central, and that was probably because she played that game alone for god knows how long.
"I demand a remaaaatch!" Nana yelled.
"How about you let Sayaka play?" Yui stood up and asked her panting mother. "You're getting really pitiful to look at, mom."
"Are you implying that I'm old?!"
"Of... Of course not mom." Yui faked a smile as she sat back down.
"Well, I gotta pass the table to Sayaka alright. " Nana said as she high-fived her daughter. "Don't let me down now."
"I'll try, mom."
"Where's the table?" Miyuki laughed all by herself as Sayaka tried to laugh with her due to pity from her joke.
-
"Who chose this song?" Sayaka asked. "This is way too lewd for old women and a bunch of teenagers."
"Whatever just go and dance, you're losing you know!" Nana yelled.
"This is way too erotic." Sayaka growled as she looked over Miyuki, who was smoothly dancing to the beat. 'Damn.' she thought to herself.
"Stop looking at Miyuki you perverted daughter, look at the screen! You're losing you know!" Nana yelled.
"Winning doesn't mean anything anyway." Sayaka said. "We're playing this to have fun."
"Yes, and that's what losers say cause they're losers for their entire life!" Nana yelled.
"And looking at me dancing like this is fun?" Miyuki teased as she got nearer to Sayaka and the game literally paused because she was out of position.
"Stop them, mom!" Yui yelled.
"HEY, FINISH THE GAME ALREADY!" Nana shouted as Miyuki continued to laugh and Sayaka continued to blush from what she just saw.
-
Years passed, and after Miyuki and Sayaka graduated from the university and were professionals, the world started to be consumed by the superhumans.
Though the two previously denied wanting to be superhumans because of the reason that they were supernaturals in the first place, a certain girl made sure that they would become superhumans.
She devised a plan to make the two plus Yui and Paru to become the 4 Great Generals with Sayaka as the Main General Commander.
To do so, she had to entrap all of their precious ones, and she succeeded in doing so, but the girls swore revenge to the girl who caused them misery and made them do brutal things that they never wanted.
However one day they had enough, so Sayaka chose to surrender to Kumi, hoping that they would be able to save their dear ones.
"I surrender." Sayaka said, suprising everyone who was there: Yui, Paru, Miyuki, Kumi, Yuria and Jurina.
"What?" Jurina yelled. "I don't believe you!"
"Execute me if you want." Sayaka said, lowering her katana to the ground. "Just leave Miyuki and the others alone; and take our precious ones with you."
Kumi smiled before saying,"Why would we even execute you? We need your help."
"And your dear ones are already at the ship." Yuria sighed. "They're doing WAY too well if you ask me." she said as she turned on the teleportation line to Sayaka's mother.
"SAYAKAAAA!" Nana yelled. "We're free!"
"Mom." Yui smiled as she lowered her fists down.
"Well isn't this one good ending?" Jurina laughed.
"Not really..." Miyuki declared. "The new 4 generals were already sent to the past. As for our leaders' whereabouts, we have no idea where her new lair could be."
"We'll have to make plans already." Kumi gritted her teeth. "We're gonna have to send someone to the past."
"We'll help." Sayaka and Yui said in unison. "We're the strategists after all."
-
Sayaka and Yui came to a conclusion that they chose to send Yuria to the past.
"Why?" Kumi asked. "Why not me?"
"We're definitely not choosing you." Sayaka growled. "We need you here with us. You're the only one who knows how to operate the machine."
"And I'll be okay. You know what I'm capable of." Yuria agreed.
"And we can just send in reinforcements after Yuria goes into the past successfully." Sayaka declared. "We still can't go, as there the other 4 Great Generals are still in here. But the fake 4 Generals are in the past."
"So they used them as decoys, huh." Kanon said.
"They're definitely not strong, thought they're a bit stronger than the normal troops." Sayaka said.
"If a sudden change in plans occur, we'll be sure to inform you by going to the past." Yui added.
"When will I be leaving?" Yuria asked.
"Whenever you please this week." Sayaka smiled. "All that we could wish you is good luck."
-
A few months has passed by since Yuria left without a word, except a letter to the others and Yui, Paru, Sayaka and Miyuki had almost defeated the 4 Great Generals until they knew that they were decoys too.
"WHAT?" Sayaka yelled.
"There's a lot of goddarn decoys. The heck..." Yui snared.
"Too bad, since the leader also went with them to the past." Nishino spoke as her hair was being pulled by Miyuki.
"Damn." Miyuki said as she threw the girl aside. "We've got to go back to the past!"
"But what about the remaining one? I heard she's the strongest." Paru informed the others.
"I know." Sayaka growled. "Miyuki and I would take care of them. Go to the past first."
Yui and Paru agreed and immediately went to the past just in time to save the others.
-
After a day or two, they've defeated the head of the 4 Great Generals, who was apparently, Kojimako. She was the hardest to beat, and it took longer than it should've but they've done all they could. And with that, Sayaka and Miyuki went to the past as well.
Their journey continues on.
