Title: The Game of Life [Chapter 13 -PARTS-] D - Minami, Yuki
Post by: AshuraX on June 13, 2013, 09:48:22 PM
Yo, the name's Ashura and I'm here to test my limits.
Basically my kami-oshi is STILL Acchan so my fics will most definitely involve her~
And I'll refrain myself from posting too much AtsuYuu fics >w>

Anywho, here goes nothing

=====================================================================

[Prologue]

   Once upon a time, in a distant future where robots, squirrels, cats, dogs and gorillas live in harmony, there is a school. A school built for troublesome students all around Japan. This school, as stated above, has many different... qualities. And the students live in peace and harmony. Where nothing could ever be wrong. A school of perfection. Wanna know the name? Well, read.

Girl A :"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU JUST DO, PUNK?!"
Girl B :"HUH?! YOU SHOULD WATCH WHERE YOU PUT YOUR ROTTEN MOUTH!"
Girl A :"SAY THAT AGAIN, BASTARD AND I'LL @(@#& YOUR %(@@&# IN A %(@#&!"

   Well, at least the students are merry...

Squirrel-like girl :"Yay~ Argue more~!" A random bystander appears
Girl A :"WHAT DO YOU WANT, P-"
Girl B :"Y- Yuko-san!"
Yuko(?) :"Eh? What?"
Girl B :"T- Thanks for your hard work today!" she bows deeply
Yuko :"Hm? Yeah, I guess. Though I basically did nothing but beat some yakuza." she says as she remembered the expression of the yakuza when she bent their pistols... Which one? Saa...
Girl A :"Huh?! So YOU'RE the head of this joint, huh?!"
Yuko :"Not really." she denies it immediately
Girl A :"Keh. Since she was all being polite and stuff to you, then you must have a high rank here. Then imma gonna take yah down!"

   Girl A grabbed an steel pipe out of nowhere and tried to hit Yuko on the head

Girl A :"HAH! How'd ya like d-"
Unknown girl :"Hey hey, who said you could hit Yuko-san like that so easily?" Another unknown girl appeared
Girl A :"What the-" before she could finish the unknown girl has already punched Girl A in the skull making her lose consciousness.

Yuko :"Oh, what were you doing here, Sayaka?" she asked the unknown girl
Sayaka(?) :"I told you not to cause too much trouble inside our school!" she hits Yuko lightly
Yuko :"Ouch, that hurts, you gorilla!" she rubs her own head to make the pain go away
Sayaka :"Who are you calling a gorilla, you beaver?!"
Yuko :"I'm more of a squirrel! If I knew you were going to hit me, then I'd rather get hit by that steel pipe. Less pain"

Midget :"Hey, Yuko. Acchan's calling us." yet another nuis- I mean, unknown girl
Yuko :"Oh, Bakamina. Huh? Acchan's back from her trip?"
Sayaka :"Oi oi, you're calling the one who ruled over hell with such a cute nickname?"
Bakamina(?) :"Who cares about that! And who's Bakamina?! My name's TAKAhashi MINAmi, or Takamina!"
Yuko :"Yeah, yeah, Takamina, Bakamina, Paper. Who cares what you are"
MINAmi :"I DO!"
Yuko :"Will you marr- Bah, too late."
Sayaka :"You should stop getting so easily teased, Takamina. Or else you'll grow shorter."
Minami :"At least I'm not a giant gorilla"
Sayaka :"Say that again, punk." she glares at Bakamina

Yuko :"OKAY! Enough of that! Acchan needs us!" she flees towards the direction where 'Acchan' would be
Sayaka :"Stop running off on your own!" she follows after Yuko, then Bakamina as well

================================================================

   They were running towards the library, the place where the school's top would gather. The most terrifying room which nobody would DARE to enter. They say that if you enter once, you'll never come back alive.

Yuko :"I'm here, my love!"
Yuko's lover(?) :"Huh?"
Yuko :"Acchan~!!!" she hugs her lover
Minami :"Wait, she's not your lover!"
Yuko :"She is! Right, Acchan~?"
Acchan :"No, I don't date people shorter than me."

   Hearing that, Minami and Yuko were heartbroken.

Minami :"WAAA!!! Acchan's cruel!!!"
Yuko :"Heh. I don't care bout Acchan, I have NyanNyan"
Sayaka :"You should stop pouting if that's true"
Yuko :"Shut up, space ape!"
Sayaka :"When did my rank got an upgrade?"

========================================================================

   A total of 9 people were gathered in the library. These 9 people are the school's most powerful vanguard and conquered the area in less then a period.

Atsuko :"To start it off, I'll do a roll call"
Sayaka :"We already know each other so there's no n-"
Atsuko :"We'll start from the lowest rank. Watanabe Mayu."
Sayaka :"So you ignored me..."
Twin-tailed angel :"Watanabe Mayu, AKA Mayuyu here! Though it really hurts when you call me the lowest rank, senpai..."

Atsuko :"Next, Kashiwagi Yuki."
Girl with an aura of darkness :"Yukirin here~!"
... So much for the darkness.

Atsuko :"Kojima Haruna."
Cat-like person :*spacing out*
Atsuko :"..." she writes 'Kojima Haruna or my friends call me NyanNyan here, yoroshiku~' on the cat-like person's face and she still hadn't realized it

Atsuko :"Next is..."
Minami :"Wait, she's gonna cry when she realizes it, you know..."
Atsuko :"Takahashi Minami."
Minami :"So you're ignoring me as well... Here!"
Atsuko :"..."
Minami :"W- What?"
Atsuko :"Hm? Is Takahashi absent?"
Minami :"No no no, I'm clearly right here in front of you!"
Atsuko :"Oh, sorry. Forgot you were so short. Did you get shorter?"
Minami :"... Acchan's such a sadist..." she pouts
Atsuko :"Next is..."

Atsuko :"Miyazawa Sae."
Energetic girl :"...Here..."
Yuki :"Eh? What happened with her?
Sayaka :"A foreigner asked her directions."
Everyone :"Ahhhh..."

Atsuko :"Akigori."
Sayaka :"Hey! I told you to not call me by that nickname!"
Yuki :"We know, Akigori."
Yuko :"No need to get so flustered over a name, Akigori"
Everyone else :"Akigori"
Sayaka :"Err... Fine!" she sits and pouts.

Atsuko :"Shinoda Mariko."
Big-sis type girl :"Hey, you should call your senpai with a -san"
Mayu :"Blame yourself for repeating the year AGAIN, Mariko."
Mariko(?) :"You wanna start here?" she glares at the cyborg girl

Atsuko :"Oshima Yuko."
Yuki :"She just ignored the two..."
Yuko :"Here."

Atsuko :"Maeda Atsuko."
... Silence.
Atsuko :"She's absent again, huh... She never comes to school." the girl, Maeda Atsuko, sighed.
Everyone wanted to do a tsukkomi but refrained themselves.

Atsuko :"So far only Mayuyu answered the roll call normally"
Yuko :"Eh? What about me?"
Atsuko :"Now onto the topic of today."
Yuko :"You sure LOVE ignoring people, huh?"

Atsuko :"The topic is, the yakuza wants to hire two snipers to take out the president."
Mayu :"None of us are good enough at sniping."
Yuko :"Sounds like an easy job."
Minami :"You don't even know how to shoot a water gun."
Yuko :"And I'm proud of it."
Yuki :"I'm surprised nobody even cares about the president..."
Mariko :"Well, he's not Japanese. Even I would beat him up."
Sayaka :"True."
Sae and Haruna :"..."

And then Haruna woke up from delusion land.

============================================================

   Outside of school, two students are standing and looking at the school's plate.

Younger girl :"So this is our new school, huh, Rena?"
Rena(?) :"AKB Gakuen... This is gonna be so fun, Jurina~" She hugs the younger girl, Jurina.
Jurina :"Yup!"

   As the two entered the school, the girl, Maeda Atsuko, looked at them through the window of the library while trying to calm Haruna down.

Ah... Yankee story again... and Atsuko were the head...

The low-high rank: Mayu, Yuki, Haruna, Minami, Sae, Sayaka, Mariko, Yuko and Atsuko...

Yeah... Atsuko really liked to ignore people... she only care to put her words out...

Ah.. WMatsui were joining AKB Gakuen

Eh.. they were hired to kill the president... What school was this...?

Yankee or Assasins school?

About pairings, I hope it's Atsumina, WMatsui, Mayuki, WTower and MariMii...

But if WMatsui were siblings and if it's going to be AtsuYuu... Then TakaHaru, MaJuri, YukRen, WTower and MariMii...

Can't wait to see what's going to happen next

Thank you for the interesting prologue

Atsuko :"Maeda Atsuko."
... Silence.
Atsuko :"She's absent again, huh... She never comes to school." the girl, Maeda Atsuko, sighed.
Everyone wanted to do a tsukkomi but refrained themselves.

Thanks for the comments (and likes)~

WotaOtaku~, I don't know bout that but let's see what happens~ XD

cisda83, it's a yankee school but their influence over the area and the under world is massive. And no, I'm not going to use AtsuYuu in this fic since I'm restraining myself but I'm still going to make some AtsuYuu moments~ MUAHAHAHA!!!

kenjoy12, i know, right~ She's such a sadist, even in real life =w=.

bunnyrabbit, whoa. No YukoRena... O.O But yeah I'm thinking of making unusual pairings.

blackwhite, sadly, there shall not be any AtsuMina QwQ probably some AtsuMina moments here and there but Acchan's partner is already decided.

   And thanks all for the love~ Not in that way XD

Chapter 1
=======

   A wonderful Sunday morning in class 1-A, the class which gathers the smartest girls, ranging from age 12 - 37.

Fat girl :"HUH?! I'M NOT GOING TO LICK YOUR SHOE, YOU PIG!"
Other fat girl :"WHO ARE YOU CALLING A PIG, YOU ELEPHANT!"
Fat girl :"YOU'RE THE FATTEST IN THIS ENTIRE SCHOOL!"
Skinny girl :"LOOK IN THE DAMN MIRROR!" another girl joins in and throws a punch at the girl
Fat girl :"WHAT THE HELL YOU DAMN BI-"

   Anyways, they're such proper ladies.
   The teacher comes in but that changed nothing. Behind him are two girls, wearing the school's uniform.

Teacher :"Please, quiet, class."
*ignored*
Teacher :"*sighs* Today, we have two new transfer students joining our class."
Buck-toothed girl :"WHO THE HELL WOULD TRANSFER SCHOOLS IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER?!"
Mustached girl :"It's Fall, you idiot!"
Teacher :"Anyways, you two, please come in." the teacher signals the two who are standing outside to come in and introduce themselves

Rena :"My name's Matsui Rena, pleased to make your acquaintance."
Jurina :"The name's Matsui Jurina. I'll kill anyone that gets close to Rena-chan."
Rena :"J- Jurina!"
Masked girl :"HUH?! WADDYA MEAN BY DAT?! YA WANNA DIE SO BADLY?!"
The whole class started making a fuss and getting ready to beat the two new transfers.
Jurina :"Hey, teacher."
Teacher :"W- What?"
Jurina :"I think today's lesson is Physical Education. If not, then I'll just teach them the real P.E. With my fist."
Rena :"So we need to tame this whole class? *sigh* I at least wanted to make some friends in class"
Jurina :"You already have me" she gave a reassuring smile at Rena and watched her blush

x======x

   The hallway is one of the most quietest place during lesson hours... is what most schools are like. But in this school, the students are ALWAYS lively...

Drill-hair girl :"Hey, where the hell is my underling?!"
Brawny girl :"MY MUSCLES ARE SCREAMING!!!!!!"
Girl with broom :"Oi, what did you just look at me? YA WANNA GO AT IT?!"
Girl with bucket :"Ya wanna taste my bucket wrath?! COME AT ME!"

   that is, unless...

Everyone :"!"

   All of the girls in the hallway became quiet and made way because they heard a creaking door. They knew that in this school, they purposely never broke doors or damage them, because they wanted a warning.
   7 girls came out of the library, one by one.

Minami :"Oh, they're so quiet."
Mayu :"Blame Mariko for scaring them during the start of the year"
Mariko :"It's their fault for being too noisy."
Yuki :"You shouldn't get mad over something so trivial..."
Sae :"Finally! That meeting took hours!"
Sayaka :"And you were spaced out during all of it."
Haruna :"Yeah, you shouldn't space out, Sae-chan"
The other 6 :"YOU'RE ONE TO TALK!"

   The girls in the hallway greeted them and bowed their heads as if they're from a yakuza clan. One of the girls abruptly asked Takahashi Minami, since she was the one that is most easy to talk to.

Girl :"Thanks for your hard work, senpai."
Sae :"Oh~ Such a good girl~" she pats her head
Minami :"Oi, she was talking to me..."
Girl :"Senpais, umm, where's Oshima-senpai and Maeda-senpai?"
Sayaka :"They're discussing about something."
Minami :"As I said, she was talking to ME!"
Girl :"I see... I've never met Maeda-senpai before... I've never even seen her fight but she became the strongest Ace in this school, being stronger than all of you senpais... Does she even ex-"
Sae kicked the locker so hard that all of the contents, from magazines to dolls bursts out from it.

Sae :"One more word about Atsuko and you're dead meat." she glares at the what seems to be a first year. ALL of the second and third years never dared question of the Ace's existence.
Minami :"You seem to be a first year... Listen, we may have given you the freedom to do whatever the hell you want in this school but if you crossed the line, you're gonna face not only Sae but all 9 of us, including Maeda Atsuko herself, got it?" the girl nods in fear with tears in her eyes
Mariko :"If you get it, leave. IMMEDIATELY!" as she shouted, the girl ran for her life

x======x

Yuko :"Hm? Was that Mari-chan?"
Atsuko :"Probably. Seems some first year asked if I exist or not."
Yuko :"Whoa, what kind of hearing do you have?!"
Atsuko :"No, I was hearing it from a speaker I secretly put on Takamina."
Yuko :"... You said you don't date people who are shorter than you..."
Atsuko :"I don't. I'm just abusing Takamina."
Yuko :"Between all of us, you're the weirdest..."
Atsuko :"I must know what my teammates are doing. Here, I have one stuck on you as well." she points at Yuko's breast
Yuko :"WHEN DID YOU PUT IT THERE?!" she says as she stripped and searched for anything suspicious
Atsuko :"Oh yeah, I forgot to put it..." she placed a tiny chip with a speaker on Yuko's breast, making it look and feel like she's groping her
Yuko :"Yaan~ Acchan's such a pervert~"

   The two were actually talking about the connections with the mafia and the requests and problems within their territory before they heard Shinoda Mariko shouted

Atsuko :"I'm going to go out for a bit, need anything?"
Yuko :"Cola. Wait, Let me go with you~"
Atsuko :"No... clean this room up... It's all because of your NyanNyan's tantrum... And put some clothes on" she looked back and forth between the messy library with tables and chairs all scattered and the naked Yuko
Yuko :"No, it was clearly your fault that you drew on her face like that..."
Atsuko :"I'm counting on you." she left through the window
Yuko :"WAA! Acchan's a sadist! Slave driver! Rapist!"

x======x

   The girl, Maeda Atsuko, walked towards the vending machine which was located outside a first year classroom and saw two girls walking closely with each other. One of them has a princess-like aura and was eating melon bread and the other looks like a cute puppy following the melon bread-eating girl like a faithful puppy. Atsuko thought that the two looked so cute and since she has never saw their faces before, knew that they're new transfer students. They passed each other and Atsuko's eyes met with both of them. She was squealing inside by how cute the two are. After they passed each other, She then saw that a classroom had a broken window and a fat girl fainted outside. It was weird since that classroom didn't have a broken window before. Seeing girls get beat up is a daily occurrence in AKB Gakuen and frankly, she didn't care about the girl. She looked through the window (or what was left of it) and just smirked...

   The classroom was left in ruins. The teacher was cowering, covering his head in fear. The students are all scattered on the floor, some fainted, some badly wounded, some were trying to get up but couldn't. She saw the the tables and chairs were scattered from more than one direction so she indicated that it was done by more than one person. She then looked at the blackboard and her deduction was spot on. Her grin grew wider. The cause of this was nowhere to be found. Maeda Atsuko laughed out loud and just continue to the vending machine. She bought a cola and orange juice.

   "I've got to hand it to the ones who caused that mess..." she says remembering the writing on the blackboard, 'THE TOP IS OURS!!!'
"...One of them had TERRIBLE handwriting." she opened her can of orange juice and drank it.

[To be continued...]

=========================================================================

Wew. Managed it somehow.
I love how Yuko reacts to Acchan's joke~ And how cute Jurina is~ My mind is imagining puppy-like Jurina clinging to Rena and trying to kiss her~
What do you guys think~? XD

Ah.. so It's not going to be AtsuYuu... What's the pairing going to be...? Can't wait to find out

Jurina already picked a fight in her first day of school.

Ah... Minami was the friendliest... but still scary...

But Mariko was the scariest...

Eh... Atsuko put a hearing device on Minami and Yuko...

Why did no one know Atsuko's face... even discussing whether she existed or not?

Ah.. Atsuko liked both Jurina and Rena's cuteness...

Well the one with the bad handwriting was Jurina right?!

What Jurina and Rena going to do to become the top?

Would they challenged the known fighters starting from Mayu then to the next... until they reach Atsuko?

Can't wait to see what's going on next

Thank you for the update

Thanks again for the comments and likes~
Though I also wanted reader's suggestions or something to make it more interesting, if you know what I mean =w=

Shinoki, I'm using this style because it's easier and seems much more cleaner/neater compared to a straight novel style. Plus ya can't get rid of habits... Should I try it??? And yeah, Takamina WILL fight for it.

kenjoy12, expect a war!!!! but I don't think Acchan knew that it's actually WMatsui though. And yeah, S Acchan is SUPERB

cisda83, most of what you're asking will be revealed in this chap. The pairing? Still didn't decide >w>... And as for the one who wrote on the blackboard, I'll leave it to everyone's imaginations~ OwO/

=======
Chapter 2
=======

   It's after classes and everyone has left school except a few individuals. Some of them are in the library taking care of work. The girl who was known as the Ace is looking out of the window.

Mariko :"Hey... What the hell are we doing..." she drops her piece of paper
Sae :"We're folding cranes?" she says as she has finished folding another one and grabs another piece of paper
Yuki :"Mariko has a point..."
Minami :"Why ARE we folding paper cranes in the first place?" she looks at Maeda Atsuko
Sayaka :"Well, it's Atsuko's orders... Hey, she's spacing out again." she says, pointing at Kojima Haruna
Mayu :"I got it." she hits Kojima Haruna with a paper fan she found lying around somewhere
Haruna :"Ouch! That hurts, Mayuyu..." she covers her head, soothing the pain
Yuko :"YES! I've finally finished 1!!!!" she raises the wrinkled and torn paper crane
Everyone else :"... (What a sad girl...)"

   Atsuko, realizing something, searched all over the library, making the others curious because she really hates books even though she looks like the type who always read in their past times.

Minami :"Acchan? What's wrong?" she looks worriedly at her weird best friend
Atsuko :"Did anyone see the student transfer report that was lying around here because I threw it away thinking that it doesn't have anything to do with me?" she asks the girls
Minami :"Oi oi... Sasshi worked hard to gather the info, you know..."
Mariko :"Who cares. It's Sasshi."
Yuki :"Why did you need that, Maeda-senpai?" she asks her senior
Atsuko :"I need to know which class the students were transferred to."
Mayu :"It's class 1-A, senpai." she says, recalling what she read from behind her senior's shoulders
Atsuko :"What are their names?"
Mayu :"They're-" before she could finish, the door was kicked open.

   Two figures were seen, both of them are the ones Maeda Atsuko has seen before

Atsuko :"Oh, you two are the cute girls I passed by this morning"
Rena :"C- Cute?!" she fainted
Jurina :"Don't fall for her, Rena!!!" she shakes the other girl, trying to get her back to her senses
Jurina :"YOU SEDUCTIVE DEMON!"
Atsuko :"Eh?" she looks confused

   The other girls (except one) were looking at the two intruders with anger. Rena came back to her senses and looked at her seniors' direction.

Mariko :"What did you come here for?" she asks the two intruders
Yuki :"Forget that. They need to pay for the door."
Sae :"With their bodies."
Haruna :"Is it just me or does that sounds kinda perverted?"
Sayaka :"Not only that..."
Minami :"They insulted Acchan..."
Mayu :"That was a compliment, actually."

   The younger of the duo stepped forward and looked at the seniors

Jurina :"WHICH ONE OF YOU HERE IS MAEKAWA NATSUKO?!" she shouted confidently
Everyone else :"Who?" Rena asked as well
Atsuko :"My name is Maekawa Natsuko."
Her teammates :"WHEN?!"
Jurina :"I see... so you're the school's top, huh..."
Natsuko :"Some people even called me Natsuko the Unko (Poop)"
Minami :"No, your name's Maeda Atsuko! And that's clearly an insult!"
Jurina :"Natsuko, Batsuko, same things."
Atsuko :"She's right." she says to Takahashi Minami while pointing at the junior.
The girl could only sigh in defeat

Jurina :"I challenge you, Natsuko! To a duel! For the top!"
Atsuko :"Okay."
Everyone was shocked
Mariko :"Oi oi! How can you accept so easily?!"
Sae :"At least tell her to beat the others first!"
Mayu :"Senpai! If you just accept like that, then people will think we're REALLY weak."
Minami :"And you! Transfer students! You should at least challenge us, Atsuko's unders, first!"
Haruna :"And use the door! Not kick it!"
Sayaka :"You're still on that?" everyone protested...

   The two transfer students looked at each other

Rena :"Told you so."
Jurina :"But that would take too long!" she pouted
Atsuko :"Then let's do this." everyone kept quiet to listen to her words

Atsuko :"Any one of you two will fight Mayuyu, who is the junior that I like the most. If you win, as revenge, I will fight you. Both of you." she added
Both :"Okay!"
Mayu :"EH?! Why me?!"
Everyone else :"Ganbaro~"

   Matsui Jurina was chosen to fight her. The two stood, taking a battle stance at the center of the library, facing each other. The first one to attack was Jurina. She tried to punch Watanabe Mayu in her face but she nearly dodged it and countered by striking palm at Jurina's stomach. However...

Jurina :"Was that all, midget?"
Mayu :"?!"

   Mayu instinctively backed away from the younger girl but to her surprise, the girl grabbed her arm and pulled her. Jurina then punched the girl right on the her right skull. Mayu, with her instincts to the max, managed to lean towards towards the left, minimizing the damage but still was thrown away by the impact. She was bleeding.

Atsuko :"That's enough." the girl said, looking down.

   Hearing that, Jurina stopped her pursuit for Mayu and looked at the Ace. Rena, who was watching the fight stood beside Jurina.

Atsuko :"Come at me..." she says, still not moving
The two girls looked at each other, confused
Atsuko :"Now." she says in a tone that made not only the two new transfer students, but her own teammates including Mayu, shiver to their bones.

   Not wanting to know what she's planning, the two ran towards Maeda Atsuko's direction and each tried to punch her. But...

Both :"!" they were suddenly thrown away and their heads were pinned to the ground by the silent Maeda Atsuko

   Both of them were struggling trying to get up but it was useless. They didn't move an inch no matter how hard they try. The two looked into Maeda Atsuko's and saw the eyes of a predator. The blood-shot eyes of the lion king protecting his clan. The two transfer students were scared, they have seen a lot of scary things in their lives but none of them can be compared to the fear of looking into the girl's eyes right now.

   Watanabe Mayu, who was lying on the ground tried to stood up. Akimoto Sayaka and Kashiwagi Yuki helped her back on her toes.

Mayu :"S- Senpai, I'm fine! There's no need to worry!" the girl says with a wry smile.

   Maeda Atsuko looked at Mayu with the same eyes and seeing this, Mayu shivered and felt fear as seeing her the devil king himself right in front of her. She gulped and continued

Mayu :"R- Really! T- This amount of blood w- wouldn't h- hurt at all~!" She jumped around awkwardly trying to prove it with an awkward smile

   Maeda Atsuko releases the two and slowly approached Watanabe Mayu and hugged her.

Mayu :"S- Senpai?!" she blushed madly
Atsuko :"I'm sorry..." she was crying a little

   Even though Maeda Atsuko was known as the strongest LIVING THING in the area, she is actually someone who cared very deeply for her comrades. Before she entered the school, she was soulless, beating people half to death and even caused some of them to remain traumatized to this day. After she met the people she really cared for, she changed for the better. She's calmer, merrier, happier and nicer.

   Atsuko parted from the hug, wiped her tears and looked at the two speechless transfer students.

Atsuko :"Haha, sorry about that." she laughed it off "I was the one who proposed it but I grew scared... I was scared if you would hurt everyone... My instincts kicked in and that just sort of happened" She gave a wry smile and continued
Atsuko :"Say, what's your name?"
The two, who was still in fear, forced their voices to come out
Jurina :"M- Matsui... Jurina..."
Rena :"M- Matsui... Rena..."
Atsuko :"Haa~ Are you two related?!" she asked, shocked
Both :"N- No..."

   Atsuko realized the awkward atmosphere and hugged the two,
"I'm sorry" is what she said but what can be heard by the two Matsuis, are the whispers of the devil...

...

Yuko :"FINALLY THE SECOND CRANE IS FINISHED!!!"

   Everyone looked at Yuko weirdly. Atsuko broke away from the hug

Yuko :"Eh? Why the stare? And oh! Are those new students?!" she came towards them and looked at them curiously.
Yuko :"THEY'RE CUTE!!!!" she instantly hugged the two

   Everyone couldn't hold it in anymore and laughed.

Yuko :"Eh?! Why's everyone laughing?!" the tiny squirrel was lost
Mariko :"You.. Really.." she laughed again
Minami :"HAHA! There goes the awkwardness!"
Sae :"BWAHA! My stomach's hurting!!"
Sayaka :"Can't.. hold.. laughter.." she also bursts out laughing
Haruna :"Y- Yuu-chan's such an idiot.." she says with tears in her eyes from laughing too much
Yuki :"S- She's more stupider than Haruna!"
Mayu :"Sorry... That was too damn funny.."
Yuko :"EH?! WHAT'S SO FUNNY?!" she looks around and nobody even cared to answer her

Atsuko :"Hehe, that was a good laugh." she turns towards the two again and gave them her angelic smile which made them blush
"Welcome... to AKB Gakuen!"

As usual, thanks for the thanks and comments~ And of course your reactions for it~

kenjoy12, well I hope it will... And don't think WMatsui would just give up on the top just like that =w=

cisda83, of course. Acchan can be hella scary sometimes OwO

Shinoki, my guess is that they've heard of it from someone they beat up and Jurina mistakes the name since she was in a hurry. Rena remembered it though XD

bunny_rabbit, muahaha! It SHALL be unique!

   I've decided on the first official pair, it's gonna be MariMii. Why? Cause I can't seem to separate them O.O''
   If anyone has suggestions or have a good pairing in mind, (so far it's YukoRena, YukiRena and AtsuMina, but I'll probably only go with YukoRena, though. It interests me for some reason... Though their pairing chapters is still far away... Oh, and also SaayaYuu >w>) please tell me your suggestions, opinions, expectations and so on, since, as you may know, I'm a beginner. Opinions from the readers might change this for the better.

   This chapter will focus on the interactions of WMatsui desire, Acchan's presence as well as her and Mariko-sama's life. This may contain some heavy drama scenes or something, so it'll be a letdown for people who hates reading XD
   Anywho, next chapter STARTO da~!

======
Chapter 3
======

   It was Sathday morning, the day after Maeda Atsuko's rage. Two figures can be seen on AKB Gakuen's courtyard. One of them, eating a melon bread and the other one only sitting there, looking down. The one eating the melon bread asked the sitting girl.

??? :"Jurina, what's wrong?"
Jurina :"Nothing, Rena..."
She knew that when her best friend says that nothing is wrong, that means something is bothering her. She remembered what happened last night
Rena :"Is this about Maeda-senpai?" she asked.
Jurina shivered at the mention of the girl's name. It sent shivers down her spine and made her feel depressed

Rena :"Do you still think it's possible to take the top?" she asked another question, seeing that the younger girl was scared.
Jurina :"It's not impossible..." she says looking confident
Rena :"I think both of us would have no problem dealing with each of the Kami8, but..."
Jurina :"I know." She interrupted the older girl and explains "Maeda-senpai is too strong..."
Hearing this, Rena smirked.
Kami8 is the title given to Maeda Atsuko's 8 teammates. Maeda is known as the Ace and the Kami8 are the ones who took charge in dealing with certain jobs that she couldn't handle.
Rena :"She DOES have a weakness though."
Jurina :"Weakness?" she was curious as to what the older girl said.
Rena :"Let's put that aside for now. The only thing you're lacking right now is motivation, Jurina-chan." She continued to nom on her bread

Jurina :"There's no way I'm giving up here... We already promised her, right" she looks at Rena with a nostalgic look
Rena :"Good of you for not forgetting."
Jurina :"YOSH!" she stood up and looked pumped her fist in the air "LET'S BEAT UP MAEDA-SENPAI!"
??? :"Ohhh~ So you two want to beat Acchan that much, huh~?" before they realized it, someone was sitting next to where Jurina sat earlier. She was looking at them with a sadistic grin
Both :"M- Mariko-sama?!" the two backed away from her but alas, it was futile.

======

   Takahashi Minami was walking through the hallway, patrolling and checking for anything out of the ordinary. She saw a girl dragging two other girls away. It was Shinoda Mariko dragging Matsui Jurina and Matsui Rena to the library. She decided to just ignore it and pray that Mariko wouldn't do anything... weird. She continued patrolling and a wild cat and squirrel appeared! The squirrel was chasing the cat with a drool on her face. The cat was seriously running for her life, seeing as the squirrel is far stronger than her so running is the only option.

   The cat looked at Minami and asked for help. She hid her body, which is clearly bigger than the midget's, behind Minami. The squirrel stopped her pursuit and glared at the midget. She was used to her glares so it doesn't scare her one bit. Just then the savior arrived. It was a gorilla and an energetic dog. Even though the squirrel is far stronger than the two, she could never escape them for some reason. It was as if the two are her guardians. The gorilla scolded the squirrel to not scare the cat too much and restrain her perverted desires. Yet, the squirrel pouted and looked away. This made the gorilla angry but the dog calmed her down, seeing as the squirrel didn't do anything to the cat, yet. The midget decided to calm everyone down, so she told the gorilla, cat and dog to bring the squirrel to their nest. They agreed and dragged the squirrel along while she was throwing a tantrum.

======

   In the library, Maeda Atsuko was discussing with Watanabe Mayu and Kashiwagi Yuki about the information they have gathered.

Atsuko :"Sorry for asking you to this while you're still recovering, Mayuyu." she patted the girl on her head, trying her best to make it heal faster. In reaction, the girl blushed and looked down
Mayu :"I- I don't mind at all, senpai..."
Yuki :"Senpai, I think you should stop that." Atsuko realized that the tone in her voice and her black aura means she was jealous of her for being to close with Mayu.
Atsuko :"Haha, sorry I was patting your lover on the head without permission~" she smirked at the two
Yuki :"W= What are you talking about, senpai?!" she protested, with her face all red.
Mayu :"Senpai, we're not a couple. Yet." she looked at Yuki seductively
Yuki :"Eh?! What do you mean, 'yet'?!" she pointed out, her face being as red as a tomato
Atsuko :"Good luck, Mayuyu!" she gave Mayu a thumbs up as Mayu gave her one as well
Yuki :"M- Mou... You two are teasing me too much" she pouted
Atsuko :"That's because Yukirin's cute~ Right, Mayuyu~?" she cuddled with Yuki and looked at Mayu who clung to her as well
Mayu :"Yup~ That's why I love Mama~"
Yuki :"Y- you two~" she gave up and hugged the two as well
??? :"Err, sorry for barging in?"

   They looked at the direction of the voice and saw Mariko, Jurina and Rena walking through the doorway (since the door broked down due to Jurina's kick the day before).

Atsuko :"Mari-chan? And welcome, you two." she welcomed the two Matsuis.
Rena :"S- Sorry for intruding"
Jurina :"Senpai, what are you doing...?" she says pointing out that her senior was clinging to her junior in an affectionate way
Mariko :"It seems we're disturbing them. Carry on." She says, teasing them
Atsuko :"Roger." she hugged Yuki tighter and rubbed her face in the younger girl's breast
Yuki :"S- Senpai?!" she was shocked by her senior's sudden action
Mayu :"Ah, senpai, not fair~" she pouted, wanting to plant her face in Yuki's breast as well
Atsuko :"Make way for your elders~"
Mariko :"Okay, I think you should stop now or these two would get the wrong idea" she says, pointing out at the two Matsuis' direction.
Atsuko :"Hai hai," she parted from Yuki and sat on the chair by her most favorite window. That chair was known as the Ace's chair, seeing as that chair was never sat by anyone in the 6 years the school was established except Maeda herself.

Atsuko :"So what's wrong?" she asked Mariko, currently in her business mode
Mariko :"Just wanted you to know that the kids wanted to take you down"
Matsuis :"Urg..."
Atsuko :"Hohoh~ Tell me more~" She snapped out of her business mode and entered her S mode
Mariko :"They were talking about something and Jurina here shouted 'Let's beat up Maeda!' or something" she says, while patting Jurina's head.
Atsuko :"Pffttt, that was lame" she only smirked
Rena :"W- We'll beat you someday!" she looks at the Ace with determination
Jurina :"No! I'll beat you even if I have to do it myself!" The younger girl glared at the Ace
Hearing this, Atsuko's grin grew wilder and hugged the two out of nowhere
Atsuko :"Aww~ You two are so cute~ Instead of beating me up, why don't we get to know each other more and more~?"
Yuko :"With your bodies?!"

   Oshima Yuko, Takahashi Minami, Akimoto Sayaka, Miyazawa Sae and Kojima Haruna entered the library. Yuko was the first one to enter. She was actually dragged by Sayaka before but when she realizes that the two cute transfer students are in there, she broke free and ran towards the library, hearing what Atsuko said while she was hugging the two. Thus chaos came and starts the teasing of Atsuko and Yuko. Sayaka kept Yuko under control and Minami kept Atsuko under control. Sae, being the flirt she is, started to get to know the two better while Mayu and Yuki went lovey dovey with each other. Haruna wanted to tease the transfer students as well but ends up being teased by Yuko instead. Mariko went to her seat, which is one of the closest to Atsuko's, and started typing on her phone. Even though the two Matsuis didn't want to admit it, but they feel like they're really at home there. They felt really comfortable with all their seniors by their side, joking around with each other. At first they thought the top 9 of the school was really scary and adult-like, but seeing them like that puts a smile on their faces.

   Atsuko signalled everyone to take a seat because she is going to start the discussion again. The two transfers were about to leave but was stopped by the Ace

Atsuko :"Hm? Where are you two going?" she asked the two as if the question was obvious
Jurina :"Er.. Outside? You're all going to start a meeting, right?" she states the obvious
Atsuko :"Don't mind it. You two are strong enough to beat Mayuyu so take a seat."
The two were surprised but decided to take a seat anyway

   Everyone was seated at the long table. Atsuko was at the end of the table, her back facing her favorite window. From Atsuko's left side, seated was Mariko, Yuko, Sayaka, Yuki, and Jurina. From her right side was Minami, Haruna, Sae, Mayu and Rena. Jurina suddenly raised her hand.

Atsuko :"What is it, Jurina?" she has already entered her business mode
Jurina :"Err, senpai. I've been wondering but why did nobody in the school, except us, have never seen you?" she asks the question that was still lingering in her mind
Rena :"Oh, I was wondering about that as well, senpai."
Atsuko :"Oh, that." she pondered. "To tell the truth, in this school, the name Maeda Atsuko doesn't exist."
Both :"EH?!"
Jurina :"Then you really ARE Maedawa Katsuko?!"
Kami8 :(Who the...)

Atsuko :"I think you're trying to say Maekawa Natsuko and no, I'm Maeda Atsuko, of course."
Rena :"T- Then???"
Atsuko :"I deleted the school's data about me. I'm basically still in this school, yet I didn't go by the name Maeda Atsuko"
Jurina :"Ehhhhh??" she seems lost
Atsuko :"Well, let's just say that I've never given my name to anyone in school, except for you guys."
Rena :"Then what is your name when others see you?"
Atsuko :"I don't give them any name."
Jurina :"Then?"
Atsuko :"They beat me up."
Both :"EH?!"

Minami :"Don't get her wrong. She let the others beat her up."
Rena :"Then why didn't senpai fight back?"
Atsuko :"If I fought back, they would realize that I'm a little stronger than them and rumors would start circulating about how I'm the one on the top. At first nobody knew who the top was, but because of a CERTAIN SOMEBODY, they realized that the Ace's name is Maeda Atsuko." she says, glaring at Sae, who in response, looked away.
Jurina :"But, why would you hide yourself?" she asked with curiosity
Atsuko :"I don't want people from my past to know my real name." She says with a nostalgic tone

   Everyone kept quiet, as if to let the Ace indulge in nostalgia. Mariko broke the silence and showed Atsuko the display on her phone. It was a picture of two girls eating ice cream together. Atsuko smirked as she saw the picture and what was written below it. "Hey, old hag! It's been a while~ I'm with Tomochin right now! She says she missed Acchan~ How are you two doing these days? I hope you're not causing trouble AGAIN..."

Atsuko :"Mii-chan and Tomochin? That's rare~"
Mariko :"Tell me about it."

   Most of the girls in the library wore a smile on their faces, seeing Atsuko smile so naturally. But what was shocking to them, and the transfer students, was the smile on Mariko's face. It wasn't her usual sadistic smile, it was a genuine smile. She looks really beautiful when she smiled like that. She looked at the display of her phone, still giggling. Atsuko, realizing that, turned and looked outside the window at the scenery. Even though the school is a mess, the scenery outside is really peaceful. Atsuko felt a hand, carressing her head, making sure not to damage her hair.

Mariko :"They'll be fine." she carasses Atsuko more gently
Atsuko :"Umu..."

Jurina was whispering to Yuki, who was watching Atsuko and Mariko with a smile
Jurina :"Yuki, who are they talking about?"
Yuki :"Hey, I'm older than you, show some respect." she sighed but explains it to her anyway "Minegishi Minami, known as Mii-chan and Itano Tomomi, known as Tomochin, are childhood friends of Mariko. Maeda-senpai met them while she still couldn't control herself. It was Tomochin that befriended her and changed her little by little. An accident occured, in which the yakuza came and tortured Atsuko's best friends which almost made Tomochin and Mii-chan lose their lives. Mariko went berserk and beat 4 of them half to death. Atsuko, who finally made a new friend couldn't take it and reverted back to her old self, killing everyone of the clan in sight. She was supposed to be taken to juvenile prison but the government was too scared of her and then decided to put the two in this school."

   Jurina listened to the story and understood

Jurina :"Does... Does Mariko-sama blame Maeda-senpai for what happened?"
Yuki :"Who knows... But looking at those two," she looked at Atsuko and Mariko laughing as they talked about the old times
Jurina :"I see..." she smirked as she saw the two.
Jurina :"Does everyone in here have a reason why they were put in the school?" she asked her senior again
Yuki looked at the younger girl with a motherly smile, but that smile indicates that she shouldn't ask anymore. Jurina bit her lip and kept quiet.

   Everyone heard of their conversation but kept quiet, since Atsuko doesn't mind it. Rena thought to herself 'I wonder what happened when Maeda-senpai and Mariko-sama met the others?', she thought she could ask Mayu but refrained herself since it is not her place to ask and also because Mayu was crying.

[To be continued]

Man, that took longer than expected...
Ah well, that's all for this chapter and eh? Why's my angel cryin?! OAO
Don't cry, Mayuyu! Or else I'll cry as well QAQ

And please suggest and comment your opinions~ I'm looking forward to it >w<

Argh, was so tired last night that I forgot to update this fic...

Elo, yup I will, since I've already decided on it.

kenjoy12, Tomochin and Mii-chan will appear in this chapter! (probably) and yeah Acchan's a closet pervert but since she hangs out with Yuko a lot, she became more open to it XD

cisda83, whoa, too many questions. No, MaYuki won't be a pair... Though they really do love each other~

And of course thanks for the comments, positive feedback and likes~

This chap will most likely focus on MariMii and TomoAcchan~ I think... That's what I'm thinking right now but for some reason I feel like introducing the antagonist of this story... Ah well, let's just see how it goes~

Now go go go~

[Chapter 4]
=======

FLASHBACK : 3 years ago

"COME, MAEDA!!!"
I urged the bored girl to make her move. She didn't falter at all and just looks at me in disgust. That made me really mad inside. I took the initiative and ran towards her with amazing speed and punched her, but she avoided it and counter-attacked me with a roundhouse kick. I managed to block it by grabbing her shin. While she was surprised by my quick actions, I punched her straight in the face. It took a direct hit, of course.
"Hah, so much for the untouchable queen!" I provoked her more, while she was still in a daze.

   The girl touched her cheeks, that was bleeding from my powerful punch, and smirked. This time, I was the one in shock. Before I could make my next move, she was already right in front of me. She grabbed my head and slammed it to the wall. She seemed to have held back since I didn't feel much pain. She then punched me in the stomach and kicked me in the back, causing me to fall to the ground. She looked down at me with an emotionless face.

"Tell me, why did you want to fight me?" She asked, still looking emotionless. I answered her with a pissed off tone "Huh? Isn't that obvious? It's because I want to beat you!" She was looking at me, this time, looking a little surprised. "Why do you want to beat me?" "Because you're at the top right now. If I beat you, then I'll become one of the most well-known yankee in the neighborhood!" I looked at her with confidence. She could only sigh. "Must be nice to be thinking like that so easily."

   As she was walking away, two figures came inside the abandoned building. "What happened, Mari-chan?!" One of them helped me to stand up, ignoring Maeda. "Ah, shut up, Mii-chan. Why is she even here, Tomomi?!" I glared at the other girl that came in, Itano Tomomi. "Don't blame me, she wanted to see her precious Mariko." She shrugs as she says that. I could feel myself blushing, but continued to glare at Tomomi. I got up, with the help of Mii-chan and looked at the figure of Maeda Atsuko, walking away.

   "Hey! Our fight isn't finished!" I shouted at her back, but she didn't turn around and continues to disappear from our sight

   "Whoa, what's wrong with her?" Mii-chan looks at the direction Maeda went and pouted. I could only give a wry smile and looked at Tomomi, who is looking troubled. "What's wrong, Tomomi?" I asked her.

   "That girl... She looks lonely..."


End of flashback

======

   Maeda Atsuko and Shinoda Mariko are waiting for their friends in the abandoned building which the two met for the first time and dueled each other.

Mariko :"They seem to be taking their sweet time."
Atsuko :"Don't get so mad, or are you possibly worried that Mii-chan's having 'fun' with Tomochin~?" She teased the older girl
Mariko :"Of course not. There's no way that would happen." She looks around worriedly.
Atsuko :"Right~ Oh, there they are." Atsuko pointed in the direction of the building's entrance, which 2 figures can be seen there

Tomomi :"Ah, sorry, you two. The hospital wouldn't let us go."
Atsuko :"Tomochin~" She hugs the girl tightly, seeing as she missed her so much
Tomomi :"Acchan~ Did you behave like a good girl while I was in the hospital?" she looks at the younger girl, who is only a week younger than her, with a smile
Atsuko :"Yup!" She says, burying her face in the older girl's chest

Mariko :"Hey, you two could be lovey dovey some other time. And what do you mean the hospital wouldn't let you go? I thought they already gave you permission."
Mii-chan :"Mii-chan and getting permission doesn't go well together." She says, sticking her chest out with pride
Mariko :"You two should take care of yourselves more..." She says, sighing at the two's misconduct
Mii-chan :"Says the sadist."
Tomomi :"Says the one who fights the most."
Atsuko :"Says the girl who had to repeat a year."
Mariko :"Okay, shut up." She says looking away, as if pouting

======

FLASHBACK : Two weeks after their first contact

"M- Monster..." The man fell to the ground.
As usual, I was beating up the people who challenged me, thinking they could beat me, since I'm a girl.
I sighed and headed over to the riverside to wash their blood off of me. I could feel somebody approaching me. I usually don't let suspicious people get near me but I decided to just let it go since I didn't feel anything dangerous from her. I was near the riverbed, washing the blood of as the girl sat next to me and peeked at my face
"Hey, could you tell me your name?" she looked straight into my eyes, curious.

   I decided to just ignore her and continue. She kept pestering me over and over. I remembered her. More like I remembered her petite mouth. She was one of the girls that was with the taller girl who challenged me earlier. I think her name was Tomoki?

   "Hey, my name's Itano Tomomi. Now can you tell me what's yours?"

   'Ah, it was Tomomi.' I thought to myself and continued to act as if I was ignoring her. She pouted. She dipped her hands with the river's water "Ei!" and put her hands on my cheeks. I looked at her angrily. She just laughed, too much, covering her head playfully, waiting for me to hit her like a child. I decided to just walk away.

   As I did so, she followed me. 'What the hell is this girl planning?' I thought to myself and looked at the girl as if I'm looking at a new form of species. The girl just kept on following me, without a care in the world. She talked to me about fashion, food and even the town we are in even though I didn't say anything before or during her talk. She just kept on talking about whatever she has in mind. I even entered the forest but she STILL followed me and kept on talking.

   That is until I reached my home. "This is my home, so can you leave?" She looked at me in surprise. I can't blame her. My home is actually an old cave in the forest. She opened her mouth and asked me. "So this is your home?" I didn't answer but she realized that I was serious. She then took my hand and suddenly asked me. "Hey, wanna stay at my place today~?" she says, with the most sincere face I've ever seen. I couldn't even answer her and she dragged me off. "Let's go~" She was brimming with energy. Seeing this, I decided to just let her do what she wants. "I'm Atsuko... Maeda Atsuko". I finally said it.

   "Atsuko, was it? Ermm... Then I'll call you Acchan~!"
That was how I made my first friend


End of flashback

======

Mii-chan :"So, how was your school?"

   The four friends are in a restaurant. Whenever they hung out together, they would always go to that specific restaurant and talked about various things. Atsuko ordered a glass of ice tea as the other three ordered parfaits. Tomomi fed Atsuko her own parfait. At first Atsuko protested and doesn't want to be spoiled too much, but as time passes, she was taken down by Tomomi's pleading eyes and cute pout. While those two are busy with each other, Mii-chan asked that question to the oldest girl of the group.

Mariko :"Hmm... Lively, I guess?" She gave her a simple answer
Mii-chan :"Did you two cause any trouble?" She looked at her with a doubtful gaze
Mariko :"If you mean Acchan, of course she did. You can't find an Acchan without troubles." she chuckled a bit
Mii-chan :"You sound like there's something interesting happening lately."
Mariko :"Well, kinda." She remembered the two new transfer students
Mii-chan :"So, did Acchan manage to get some friends?"
Mariko :"Of course. She even found some comrades and of course some kouhai that she likes." she was talking about the Kami8 and the two Matsuis
Mii-chan :"I see... That's good, then." She lets out a relieved sigh
Mariko :"You're always worrying about Acchan..." She muttered a bit
Mii-chan :"Huh? What was it?" She didn't hear Mariko clearly
Mariko :"Nothing."

======

   When they finished their parfaits, they ordered a sundae. Mariko and Tomomi couldn't eat anymore, but they ordered some anyways. Atsuko didn't order it since she has no money, but Tomomi treated her and ordered for her.

Tomomi :"Ah, remembered the first time I introduced everyone to you, Acchan?"
Atsuko :"Hm? You mean when I went to your home the first day we met?"
Mii-chan :"Haha! I remembered that! This old hag was all angry and jealous since it took 4 years for her to actually get invited to Tomomi's!" she pointed at Mariko
Mariko :"That was before I realized of her circumstances. That time, I was angry since Tomomi became friends with someone as crazy as Atsuko without even consulting me first" She remembered the fight between her and Atsuko
Mii-chan :"Proves that she is WAY stronger than you. Even in Tomomi's heart~"

Tomomi :"Ah, it took weeks for Acchan to finally open up to me, though. Even though she accepted to live with me"
Mariko :"Took her 3 months to open up to us." Mii-chan nodded at her statement
Atsuko :"Well you know how I was back then. I can't really open up to people just like that."
Tomomi :"But you made up a nickname for me though. That made me really happy and embarrassed at the same time."
Atsuko :"I just felt like Tomochin's cuter than Tomochan. So yeah"
Mii-chan :"Wasn't it because of her chin?"
Atsuko :"Heh." She only smirked

The sundae they were waiting for finally arrived.

Mariko :"Wow, you two are really similar..." She looked at Atsuko and Mii-chan, eating their sundae.
Atsuko :"Hm? Waddya mean?" She swallowed and looked at Mariko, confused
Tomomi :"Mari-chan's right. You two can eat way too much. I'm worried what would happen invited you two to the free buffet I went to." she remembered all the food that was served
Mariko :"Ah, that. I was invited, though."
Tomomi :"Because you can control what you eat, unlike those two."
Mariko :"They sulked for the whole week. Mii-chan didn't talk to me at all and avoided me."
Tomomi :"It was the same with Atsuko. She didn't hug me at all and stayed a couple of meters away from me."
Atsuko :"It was Tomochin's fault for not inviting me but invited Mari-chan instead."
Mii-chan :"How could that old hag get all the food yet we could only drool at what you two told us"
Atsuko :"Right?"
Mii-chan :"Right"
Tomomi :"Okay, okay. I'll invite you two whenever I get some opportunities in the future." She patted Atsuko's head
Atsuko :"Yay~ That's why I love Tomochin~" she hugs the older girl
Mii-chan :"Hooray for food!"
Mariko :"Show some self-restraint, will you..."

======

Atsuko :"Hey, can you two go out the day after tomorrow?" she asks the two hospitalized individuals
Mii-chan :"We can try"
Tomomi :"Why do you ask?"
Atsuko :"How about you two come and visit our school?"

Muahahaha! I finally have time today~ Now to let my imaginations run wild~~

Elo, Did I hear AtsuYuu? OwO ATSUYUU IT IS, THEN!!!!!! is what I'd like to say but sadly Acchan's partner will probably be what people least expected! Though I really want the AtsuYuu QAQ

kenjoy12, the pairings, huh... As of right now, I already decided on 3 pairings. Hope that they'll pair up soon~

As usual, thanks for everything~ And don't worry, THERE SHALL BE ATSUYUU!!!
BWAHAHAHA! Ah, I just love my OTP.
Though I'm dying to see more of TomoAcchan...
New fic?
Nah, I can't even juggle 2.
Maybe once I'm done with this one...
Which is still a LONG way to go...
Maybe I should put this on hiatus?
Ah well, now to the new chapter~!!!
GO GO GO!!!

=======
[Chapter 5]
=======

   A beautiful angel is walking back and forth in the library, making an impatient face. Everyone is present except Shinoda Mariko. Takahashi Minami, who couldn't stand watching her anymore, voiced out.

Minami :"Hey, Acchan... Is something troubling you." She asks a question which has an absolutely obvious answer. Everyone else felt relieved because somebody actually asked the question that was on their minds.
Atsuko :"Hm? Not really."
Remaining Kami8 :(Liar)
Mayu :"Err, senpai... I think you should be honest."
Yuko :"Yup! We're brothers in arms, aren't we~?"
Yuki :"Brothers? I knew it."
Haruna :"Yup, that explains Yuko's pervercy."
Sayaka :"Now there's only two more whose gender is still unknown." Everyone looked at Miyazawa Sae and Takahashi Minami.

   The two with unknown genders looked at each other, confused. Before they realized what Sayaka meant, Yuki changed the topic.

Yuki :"Where's Mariko?"
Haruna :"Ahh, now that you mention it, Jurina-chan and Rena-chan aren't here as well."
Atsuko :"Mari-chan's handling a mission that I gave her."
Sae :"What about the two Matsuis?"
Yuko :"Probably making out with each other~"
Minami :"M- Making out?!"
Mayu :"Who knows. They probably even crossed the sibling line!"
Yuko :"Sou da! Sou da!"
Sae :"Incest, huh... Sweet~"
Sayaka :"In case you guys forgot, those two aren't related."
Everyone's jaw dropped at Sayaka's statement.

Atsuko :"...Seriously?"
Sayaka :"Yeah... Wait, she already told you after they fought you. Don't tell me you already forgot, Acchan."
Atsuko :"I always forget things that doesn't concern me."
Sayaka :"Don't just go and forget your kouhais!"

   Atsuko finally settled down and read a book. To be exact, it was a manga. The title is "Love love maid imouto osananajimi trap cyborg!" and she seems to be enjoying it. The others looked at her weirdly.

Jurina :"Hey, sorry we're late."
Rena :"What she said."

   Two figures barged in the library. It was the two Matsuis.

Yuko :"Oh, came back from your love making?" she teased the two kouhais.
Rena :"W- We're not like that!"
Jurina :"Eh?! Rena-chan?! I thought we were!"
Rena :"When did you get that sort of idea?!"
Jurina :"Maeda-senpai! Rena lied to me!!" she tattled to the Ace.
Atsuko :"Un." She just nods, not taking her eyes off her manga

Haruna :"Ne, Rena-chan~ Why are you so cute~" she says as she hugs the poor girl
Rena :"K- Kojiharu-san?! What are you doing all of a sudden?!"
Yuko :"No!!! Now NyanNyan has forsaken meh!!!" She wailed and hugged Atsuko from behind.
Minami :"Y- Yuko! What are you doing to Acchan! Get off!" She tries to separate the two
Yuko :"NEVA!!! I won't ever let go of my precious Acchan!!!"
Mayu :"Unfair! Maeda-senpai is mine!!" She clings to Atsuko as well. The said girl didn't even care and continued to read her manga

Sae :"Rena-chan~ You're just tooooo cute~" She also clings to Rena
Rena :"Not you too, Sae?!"
Yuki :"Huh? Why do you only call Sae by her first name? I can understand calling only Maeda-senpai with the -senpai honorific but what's going on with you and Sae?" She glares at Rena
Rena :"N- Nothing! I just felt like calling her by her first name!"
Sae :"Yuki, are you jealous~?"
Yuki :"O- of course not, idiot!"
Jurina :"Waaa! Rena-chan's getting too famous!" she clings to Atsuko tighter
Jurina :"At least I still have Maeda-senpai~"
Yuko :"Shoo! Go to your Rena!"
They hissed at each other, still clinging to Maeda Atsuko.

Everyone was doing their business when Atsuko suddenly looked up.

Atsuko :"Oh yeah, Tomochin and Mii-chan are coming here later." She then looked down and continues reading her manga.

Thus,

Minami :"Wait wait wait! WHAT?!"
Sayaka :"Don't just blurt out something so important just like that!"
Mayu :"At least tell us earlier, senpai!"
Atsuko :"Hm? I told you already. Mari-chan's escorting them here right now." She didn't look up, reading her manga like it meant the world
Sae :"No no no. You only said Mariko was given a mission. You didn't tell us what the mission is!"
Yuki :"Forget that! We need to clean the room!"
Atsuko :"Huh? Why? It's not like they'd care."
Haruna :"Acchan! WE care!"
Yuko :"She's right! The Ace's friends are coming to her school to meet us!"
Jurina :"Oh! Now I get it! I'll bring the hammer!"
Rena :"Wait, Jurina-chan! We don't need a hammer!"

   They were busy trying to clean the library but alas, nothing was decided and it became even messier. Then,

Mariko :"What the hell are you guys even doing?"

   Shinoda Mariko entered the library and saw Jurina trying to sweep the floor with a hammer. At her entrance, two other figures entered as well. One with a face of a Gachapin and the other with long brown hair and the distinguished petite mouth. Atsuko looked up and ran towards her.

Atsuko :"Tomochin~" She clings to her as the girl with long brown hair, Itano Tomomi.
Tomomi :"Ah, Acchan~" She pats the younger girl's head as if she was her pet.

   The others were speechless. They've never seen Atsuko so close with someone. She only clings to others and showed her cute side to tease them. But the side she was showing now, is way different. It was more warm and soothing. It was like a child and her mother. Mariko noticed everyone's confused looks so she decided to speak up and introduced one another.

Yuko :"Ah, so you two are the rumored 'Tomochin' and 'Mii-chan'~" she looked at the two from head to toe. Realizing this, Atsuko, stood between Yuko and Tomomi, shielding her best friend from the perverted squirrel.
Atsuko :"If you ever try anything on her, you're dead." Her eyes are dead serious
Yuko :"R- Roger..." She was scared and jealous at the same time

Tomomi :"So these are Acchan and Mari-chan's friends~?" She looked up at all of them but stopped as she sighted Matsui Jurina
Jurina :"Huh? What's wrong?" She looked at the girl who eyed her weirdly
Tomomi :"You're the girl that caused trouble for Acchan, right?"

   Everyone was stunned. The girl knew who Jurina was at first glance.

Jurina :"Y- Yeah... How did you know?"
Tomomi :"Acchan always text me about her adventures in the school."
Atsuko :"Calling it an 'adventure' is kind of exaggerating..."
Tomomi :"But your adventures are fun to read~"
Atsuko :"But still..."
Tomomi :"Hmm... I'm a little jealous though..."
Atsuko :"Eh? Why so?"
Tomomi :"Because Acchan's living her life seriously~" She hugged the younger girl in front of everyone
Atsuko :"U- Un.." She just gave her a wry smile

   They questioned how close those two are but realized it... She was the one who saved Maeda Atsuko... Calling them just with close friends is too low of a praise and calling them lovers would be too much of an insult.  They realized the bond between the two couldn't be trampled with. There's no room for them to enter at all. Mariko clapped her hands and all attention went to her.

Mariko :"You two can be lovey dovey later. Don't forget that everyone's watching." She gave both Atsuko and Tomomi a worried look
Tomomi :"Ah, sorry. We just haven't seen each other for so long."
Mii-chan :"We all saw each other yesterday, you know."
Atsuko :"*GASP* Mii-chan spoke!"
Mii-chan :"Of course I can!"
Yuko :"Ah, I thought you couldn't speak." She joined in, seeing the opportunity
Mayu :"Yup, since you weren't talking at all since you came here."
Mii-chan :"I can! Look! AKJSNDAJWDOWQN!"
Yuki :"You just made no sense."

   The atmosphere changed for the better but everybody realized it... More like Mayu, Minami, Yuko and Jurina did. They realized that if they want to be with Atsuko, they're going to have to do better.

[To be continued]

EVERYTHING STARTS IN THE NEXT CHAPTER!

Whose feelings shall be accepted by Atsuko?! Will it be Tomochin, as everyone suspected?! Or will it be Takamina, who is the closest to Atsuko within the school?! Or will the others somehow make Atsuko look at them?! Let's start The Game of Life!

no-chan, No (LoL), It won't end with AtsuYuu. More like AtsuYuu won't happen, unless push comes to shove (ex, for some unknown reason I feel that the AtsuYuu power in this fic is EPIC) and about AtsuMina, dunno yet. At first I found Acchan's pairing but then something happened and now it's all in her hands

ShipEveryone, saa. Let's see how it goes. I'm not going with majority, since most of people here would go for AtsuMina as Acchan's pairing.

kenjoy, I think this is turning into an Acchan and Rena harem XD and yeah, the story still has a long way to go. Since I didn't even introduce the antagonist yet. The one who will take over the school.

   Now let's just see what's going to happen to the relationship between the Ace, Kami8, and WMatsui.

=======
[Chapter 6]
=======

"YOU'RE GONNA PAY FOR THIS, BRAT!!!"

   In the alleyway somewhere. a man with a scar on his face ran away from a girl. The girl just looked at the man's retreating figure, not chasing him nor feeling regret. She sits on the pavement, wondering what she will do from now on. At that time, another girl with not-so long hair came after seeing the other girl finally satisfied. "Hey, watchar think'n? I know yer sick a wait'n, but ja need to trust dem more" the girl talked to the other girl, who was sitting, staring at the sky. "Piss off. Your dialect's annoying." She then looked at the older girl, knowing that she wouldn't go away. "Sorry fur be'n born there", she gave a wry smile as she replied to the younger girl's threat.

   The younger girl then took out something from her pocket. "Hey, watcha 'ave there?" the curious older girl asked the younger one. The young girl just smirked and lit her cigarette. Realizing this, the older girl took the cigarette away from her. "What the hell are you doing...?" the younger girl glared at the older one, but she wasn't affected. Instead, she went to a convenient 'dumpster' around them and disposed of it. "Ya need ta chill... I toldja ta stop with the smoking already. Even if ya danger yar health, it won't make time go fastah." The younger girl could only sigh at the older girl's meddling and walked to the building that was behind her.

   As she opened the door, she asked the older one "Hey... when will I fight her...?" the older girl looked down. "Doncha worry~ Da game has already started. They say dat ja two are REALLY alike. There's no tell'n what'll 'appen." as she reassured the younger girl, she added depressing opinion of her own "... Though I doubt dat experience would be a major advantage" she then went inside the building. She passed the younger girl who was holding the door. The younger one smirked at her statement "Then this would be fun" and walked inside the building, leaving the blood stained walls and bodies, half-beaten to death, behind.

======
IN A SCHOOL, ON THE OTHER SIDE OF TOWN

"Jurina!!!!" a voice echoed all around the school, making almost all of the students and teachers inside the school, shiver out of fear.

   The owner of the voice ran through the hallway, splitting any obstacles in front of her, students, teachers and even lockers, like Moses splitting the red sea. She ran fast shouting the girl's name, searching every nook and cranny for her, at last, she found her. In the most obvious place.

"YOU!" the girl looked at the younger girl as if eyeing her prey

   "O- Ou! Mariko-sama? What are you doing here?" she asks the older girl, acting surprised

   The older girl gritted her teeth, getting more pissed off. "THIS IS THE DAMN LIBRARY! OF COURSE I'D BE HERE!"

   Jurina, who was hugging the Ace, Atsuko, finally stepped back and hid behind a bookcase.

   "Ju-Ri-Na. Do you know why I'm angry...?" She looked at the figure behind the bookcase, which could clearly be seen without much effort. Jurina pondered for a bit and finally answered, more like questioned "Err... because I took a bite of your cake...?". She peeked at Mariko by the side of the bookcase, using her ultimate technique, the technique which she had learned from the Ace herself. She used,

   The puppy dog eyes!

   Though Mariko wasn't affected at all.

   Realizing this, Jurina clicked her tongue and glared back at the older girl.

   "I'm not Acchan. I don't care if you took a bite of my cake. What I'm REALLY mad about is THIS!" she then took out her phone. The display on her phone shows two people. One with a face of a Gachapin and the other is Jurina. Jurina was kissing the other girl on the cheeks.

   "Ahh, that... Sorry. I should've done it on the lips~!" she sticks her tongue out and winks at the older girl, showing a cute apologetic expression.

======

   "Hey, what's-" Takahashi Minami greeted the others as she entered the library but stopped once she saw Jurina, who was wearing a maid outfit. She saw the others are already there, looking at Jurina as if charmed. "... Mind telling me what happened?" The short girl asked, the others just shook their heads, and pointed at the one besides Jurina. Minami looked at the direction and saw Mariko, who was holding the chains to Jurina's collar. Jurina trying to hold her tears in. Minami knew what happened so she sat on her seat. Jurina had switched seats with Yuko, who was willing to give her seat away for now, seeing as Mariko forced Yuko to do it...

======

Atsuko :"Hm? Jurina, nice outfit." she complimented her outfit as she finally finished her book and realized what happened. Jurina blushed as she was holding in her tears.
Yuko :"Totally. Look, even Rena's-" she wanted to tease the girl but stopped once she looked at her drooling while looking at Jurina.
Atsuko :"Let's stop the incest moments for now"
Sayaka :"No no, they're not related..."
Haruna :"LIES! Everything that comes out of Sayaka-chan's mouth are lies!"
Sae :"True that."

Atsuko :"Okay," she clapped her hands to stop the discussion about incest and Sayaka's lies.
Everyone looked at Atsuko, who was sighing, trying to get on to the topic.
Atsuko :"Let me get to the point,"
They gulped at Atsuko being serious, which rarely happened.

Atsuko :"... Takamina is a girl!"
Everyone was shocked, more than ever, as if the world has gone mad, as if the God himself made a miscalculation in his creation. The library was full of shock and gasps.
Minami :"Wait, wait, wait! It's obvious that I'm a girl! What are you trying to say, Acchan?! And why the hell are all of you so shocked?!" she pointed the others who were in shock. Some even fainted. Which is Yuko playing around.

Mayu :"... To think... Takamina-san was actually a girl..." she says, as if her soul was gone from the shock
Yuki :"Hang in there, Mayuyu... I'm sure there's a logical explanation for this." she pats the girl's back and glared at Minami
Minami :"Why are you glaring at me?! Did you think I was a guy?! I'm wearing a skirt! You see?! SKIRT!"
Sae :"I thought it was one of those Scottish things"
Mariko :"I thought it was a guy crossdressing"
Minami :"No, no, no! My student ID even says FEMALE!" she showed her student ID which Atsuko took and threw it by the window.
Minami :"..."
Atsuko :*smile*

======

Atsuko :"Jokes aside of Takamina's real gender,"
Minami :"I ALREADY TOLD YOU I'M A GIRL!!!"
Atsuko :"Takamina."
Minami :"What?!" she says, pouting and looking away from Atsuko.
Atsuko :"Look at me..."
Minami :"Hmph! You're just going to tease me again!"
Atsuko :"Please, there's something I needed to tell you..." hearing this made Minami blush to her ears.

   "Please, Minami..." Atsuko pleaded to the girl with a sweet voice. Minami, who was as red as a tomato, finally looked at Atsuko's direction and gulped. She looked into Atsuko's eyes. She couldn't handle it. It was as if her entire soul was being absorbed by the girl's beautiful eyes. She was breathless.

   "Minami...", the girl's heart jumped, beating faster and faster. It was so loud that Haruna could hear it, or so the girl thought. Yuko, Jurina and Mayu were ready to jump out and ruin the moment any time. Once Atsuko even says what they think she will say, the three will find some way to disturb them, even if it means flipping the table.

   "I...", the tension was killing them. 'Why does this seem so long...' is what Yuko, Jurina, Mayu and Minami thought. Minami readied her heart and finally,

   "I found the whereabouts of your sister."

======

   The room was silent. What they thought was going to happen didn't happen but what did happen was something far more shocking. Minami's eyes were wide open in shock. As if driven mad for the knowledge, she pinned Atsuko to the wall, next to the Ace's favorite window. "WHERE IS SHE?!" Her eyes were burning in thirst of the information. Yuko and Mariko almost punched Minami but was stopped by the others. They were angry of what Minami was doing to Atsuko. Atsuko could only look at Minami with her usual smile. As she saw this, her eyes grew weary and she lets go of the Ace.

   "You've grown as well..." she lets out her angelic smile, looking at the short girl. Minami blushed and replied "Hey, it's all thanks to everyone..." the two chuckled a bit and finally sat down their seats. The others also smiled as they looked at them and sat at their seats.

   Rena and Jurina were lost as to what happened but as they saw the others' smile, they couldn't help but smile as well. Rena asked Yuki, who was the nicest of the members "Hey, Yukirin-san. What happened?". Yuki looked at her kouhai half-angry. "Hey, I told you all to call your senpai with a honorific!" yet she sighed and still told her kouhai of what she learned. Before she could tell her, she looked at Minami's direction. Their eyes met and Minami nodded. Yuki looked back at Rena and told them with a voice loud enough so that Jurina could hear as well.

======

   When Atsuko and Minami met, Atsuko didn't feel anything. Because they were yankees, they talked with their fists. As expected, Atsuko won every fight. Minami was really cheerful so she always laugh at the end of the fights, even though she lost. By the fights they've always been having, the two grew closer and closer. At that time, they didn't meet the others yet. Atsuko knew about Mariko but the two never met up after the incident with their best friends. One day, after a fight, Minami suddenly asked Atsuko if she could stay at her place. Atsuko was borrowing Tomomi's place since Tomomi forced her. She reluctantly accepted because she felt a little lonely.

   The two told each other everything. It seems that Minami has a little sister she was really proud of. She was smart, kind and cute. She was bragging about all sorts of things about her sister. What she didn't like is that she was taller than her. Atsuko listened to her with a smile. She knew that Minami was very close to her sister. The two talked about a lot of things. At that time, Atsuko opened up a bit to Minami and Minami opened up a lot to Atsuko and they began being closer than they thought. Minami also started to hang out a lot more with Atsuko and sometimes even not going home for the night.

   One day, while Minami was going home from school, she was stopped by a few well-built men. She knew that she wasn't strong enough to take them all, but at that time, Atsuko came. She didn't need any help signals or anything. Before the men started advancing towards Minami, Atsuko had already stood in front of her. She finished the men in only a few seconds, with light injuries on her elbow from accidentally hitting one of them too hard. As Minami thanked Atsuko, who was smiling back at her with her usual angelic smile, she saw a figure by the gate.

   Minami knew who the figure belonged to and chased her. Atsuko did the same even though she didn't know what was going on. The two arrived at a park and surprisingly, there was a helicopter there, with a small girl riding onto the rope from the heli. Minami realized that it was her sister. For some reason, she knew that her sister isn't going to be back. She yelled and shouted for her to stop, but alas, her sister didn't. She only waved goodbye. After that, Minami never saw her sister anymore...


   "So basically, to sum it up, kashing, kapoww, teehee, ka-smack, dash, woosh, smooch."

   Yuki ends her story with the summary.

======

Minami :"Wait, wait! What's with the smooch at the end?!"
Yuko :"Takamina..." she glares at the shortest girl in the group
Minami :"No! We didn't do anything that has any smooching in it!"
Jurina :"I'm starting to doubt her..."
Rena :"Forget that. How do you even know so much Yukirin-san?"
Yuki :"YUKI-SAN! And I know it since Maeda-senpai told me in the past."
Minami :"Why did you tell her before I could?!" she glared at Atsuko
Atsuko :"I don't know. Blame the alcohol."
Sae :"Hey, how old are you guys, anyway?"
Mariko :"Don't ask."

Rena :"Huh? What was your sister's name, Takamina-san?"
Minami :"Ono Erena."
Matsuis :"Eh...?"
Sae :"So you two aren't blood-related? I only knew that her name was Erena so I thought it was Takahashi Erena."
Minami :"No, we aren't. It's kinda complicated..."

Atsuko :"There was one thing that intrigues me, though."
Rena :"Huh?"
Atsuko :"Remembered that on the helicopter, there was another person besides your sister?" she looks at Minami
Minami :"Don't know, I didn't see anything besides Erepyon and the helicopter at that time."
Mayu :"Erepyon? Seriously?"

Atsuko :"There was another girl... Her aura is kinda familiar..." she says, pondering of how to explain further
Yuko :"How so? Do you know her?"
Atsuko :"No, I've never seen her before that but she kinda feels like the same as me?"
Mariko :"Do you mean that she's as strong as you?"
Atsuko :"I don't think so, but... I don't know..."
Everyone pondered as to why the Ace was so attached to the person. It could be a sign that the Ace is facing danger.

Minami :"Ah, back on topic, where is Erena?"
Atsuko :"At school."
Minami :"Eh?! Which school?!"
Atsuko :"The same school as where Jurina-chan and Rena-chan transferred from."
Everyone looked at the two kouhais. The two were being awkward...

Jurina :"Actually, we knew Erena before."
Minami :"THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?!" she snapped at her kouhais
Atsuko :"Takamina, the two didn't know about it before." she says, trying to calm down her friend
Minami :"Ah... Sorry..."

Rena :"Erena was actually a close friend of ours. she helped us with a lot of things at our old school, and-"
Minami :"Is she safe?! Does she have a place to live?! Does she miss her teddy bear?!"
Sayaka :"Easy there, Takamina."
Haruna :"Well, she really does love her sister a lot."
Mayu :"I know how that feels..."

Rena :"Don't worry, Takamina-san, she's very lively and there's no problem with her." she gives her an assuring smile
Minami sighed and leaned on her chair.
Minami :"Thank god... She's safe..." she hides her face with her hand as tears started to roll from her cheeks. Atsuko patted her head and hugged her.
Sayaka :"What IS the name of the school, anyway?"

Jurina :"... Mirai Gakuen."
Atsuko :"Yeah. Jurina, Rena. There's something I need you two to tell me."

   The two knew what her senior was going to ask. They could only look down, trying to not look at her in the eyes. They thought to themselves 'The secret is out...'

Atsuko :"Would you be able to fight your old school?"
Matsuis :"Eh?"
Yuko :"What do you mean, Acchan?"
Atsuko :"They declared war against us."
Minami :"You don't mean..."
Atsuko :"Yeah, it was Erena who sent it."
Minami :"..."

Sae :"Why all of the sudden?"
Atsuko :"I don't know, probably because they're afraid of us being at the top for too long."
Sayaka :"Sounds like it."

======

Atsuko :"Before we discuss about the war any further, I want you guys to clean up the street for a while."
Yuki :"Eh? What now?"
Mayu :"Thugs, they've increased in our territory."
Haruna :"Eh? Didn't we take care of them about two weeks ago?"
Minami :"I see... So that means..."
Atsuko :"Pretty much. Someone's doing it on purpose."

Atsuko :"I want you guys to clean the streets up, make sure that you don't involve the bystanders too much, if you think that you can't do it, go with a partner. Jurina and Rena will be a pair, since I don't know about their capabilities yet. Mayuyu, stay with me. I'd like to discuss about what you know."
Mayu :"Roger, senpai."

Mariko :"I thought that we could use a little warm-up before the war."
Minami :"But still, judging from Acchan's tone of worry, I'd say this could take a few days."
Sae :"Argh, I really don't like to beat people up much... I'm staying with Saaya~"
Sayaka :"It'd be better if you protected Yuki though."
Yuki :"I'm fine. I'll stick with Mariko."
Yuko :"Eh?! Why not me?!"
Haruna :"You're going with me..." she looks down, blushing a bit. Yuko could only laugh.

Atsuko :"Jurina, Rena." her voice sounds serious
Matsuis :"... Hai?"
Atsuko :"I'm counting on you two..."

   After a few seconds of silence, the two looked at each other and spoke to their senior
"Leave it to us!"

[To be continued]

   So here's a challenge. Name the antagonist of this fic and name ONE pairing. The first one to get the antagonist right, I'll make the paring they chose come true. In this fic or some other fic/OS.

UNTIL NEXT TIME!

kenjoy, well, I was thinking of how to show that someone has a weird dialect so sorry if that confused ya ^^''. *sigh* I hope I'll be on par with the other writers here soon~ I meant how they explain unexplainable things~ And man, you have too much facewall XD

   Hm? Nobody recognized the antagonist? I mean, there's a lot of hints in the previous chapter already XD
Oh well, maybe I'm not good at this >w>

   Now new chapter. This chapter will focus more on someone's past and the pairings as they prepare for the war.

GOGOGOGO!

=======
[Chapter 7]
=======

   Four girls are discussing about something in the library. There aren't any issues they needed to cover but there is something missing which they needed to do. It wasn't the war that was going to happen any minute now, it wasn't the ranking and condition of their territory. It was something far more important.

Jurina :"So anybody up for the game?" the youngest spoke, asking the older girls about what they had just discussed.
Mayu :"You know that it's risky. There's no way any one of us could survive after that." the second youngest sighed in defeat.
Minami :"I vote for Yuko to do it. She's the one that's best for the job." she pointed at the oldest of the four
Yuko :"Hell no. Besides, Takamina, you're more suited for things like this." she glared at the one closest to her age, Minami.

   They looked at each other, planning of what's to come. They had already agreed to call it a truce but two incidents have endangered the truce and they had no choice but to take action. They need to dispose of the two nuisance.

   At that moment, the door was opened. The one who entered was the Ace. She was looking at the four who were sitting obediently at the table. They changed their seating, getting closer to the edge, as they knew that the others aren't coming to the library today. Atsuko leisurely made her way to her seat and opened up the topic for the day.

Atsuko :"The others are currently cleaning the streets of the thugs. And what are you three doing here?" she glared at the Jurina, Yuko and Minami. She only told Mayu to stay by her side since she knew that Mayu isn't up for something too difficult.

Jurina :"Rena can take care of herself. Besides, she's with Kojima-san. Plus, you did give her some advice before she left" the girl spoke confidently, believing in her best friend's strength to realize Atsuko's advice.

   Jurina is the one with the most energy. There are still things with her that are shrouded with mystery, since she just transferred but what is known is that her most powerful attribute is her energy. She and Rena both make an amazing duo that could be on par with Takahashi Minami, according to Mayu's analysis. There are still some distrust between her and Atsuko's best friend, Itano Tomomi but Atsuko trusts her completely, just like how she did with Minami and Yuko.

Minami :"Relax, Acchan. Even if Sae's not fighting, Mariko-sama can make up for it. Her alone would be enough to wipe out half of them in three days." she says, remembering how she never saw Sae eager to fight unless forced to and Mariko's strength which surprised even Atsuko.

   Minami is probably the one who Atsuko trusts the most. She was the first friend she made in the school and also the one who pushed Atsuko forward the most. Atsuko is the one who befriended and gathered everyone in the Kami8, and Minami is the one who maintained the status quo and took care of everyone's problems so that they can do their hardest for Atsuko. Besides Atsuko, Minami is the one who everyone depends on, not because of her outer strengths, but because of her past experience and friendliness.

Yuko :"You know that they can finish it in just a couple of days. There's no need for me to meddle in." she says coolly, not taking her eyes of the Ace.

   Yuko is the strongest member in the Kami8. While she was wandering around the school doing nothing but fighting, she found Atsuko. At that time, she was bored. Bored of her own strength. She was too strong. No one could beat her before that. Once she had lost to Atsuko, she has seen a new light. A rival she needed to defeat. Atsuko had to use all her strength to defeat Yuko. As the result, Atsuko only sustained minor injuries whilst Yuko almost lost consciousness. After that, she became closer to Atsuko as a rival and of course grows feelings for her. Yuko could be called Atsuko's mental support. Atsuko never depended on Minami unless it's for her friends but when it comes to personal reasons, she always depended on Yuko. Yuko also did the same with her. The two are close rivals, yet also has a bond which couldn't be described by simple words.

Mayu :"For now, Rena is with Kojiharu, Yukirin is with Mariko and Sae is with Sayaka." she fiddled with her phone, telling her seniors about the information she gathered.

   Mayu is the brains of the group. She knows exactly what is going on inside and outside their territory from her connections. She also advices her seniors sometimes if needed. Even though she's the weakest, she's also the most useful, according to Atsuko. It is also known that Atsuko likes to pamper her a lot, which made Yuki feel agitated. This also made Minami and Yuko jealous a lot but they can't do anything about it, since Atsuko herself probably likes her the most not as the feelings that they have for Atsuko. It is only Atsuko's way of showing love towards her kouhai. She's clueless about it and asked Tomomi for advice.

   Atsuko could only sigh and look outside. She remembered something and faced Minami.
   
Atsuko :"Takamina." she is in her business mode.
Minami :"Yeah?" she tilted her head to the side, making Atsuko scream out 'CUTE~~" in her heart
Atsuko :"Tell the others that we will wait two weeks before attacking." she mentions about the war
Yuko :"Why the long wait? We can probably wipe out the thugs the area in about another three days."
Mayu :"I agree with Oshiriko-chan on this, 'strike while the iron's hot', as they say." she added. Mayu refers to Yuko as Oshiriko because of their similar likes and taste. Yuko refers to Mayu as Shiriri.
Jurina :"It would be better than waiting for the swallow to strike." she adds another saying
Minami :"If the swallow strikes, we can kill two birds with one stone!" she says confidently.
Atsuko :"You're using it wrong." she sighed at Bakamina's failure.

Atsuko :"The reason we're waiting is because of Rena's information. She said that their leader is not the one who will initiate the attack first because of the one second in command. According to Rena, the second in command is usually the wary type who will wait for us to strike. They've never striked first yet. With that lack of info, we'll defend the area. Because of Mari-chan's influence and warning, the students here already knows of the war and will fight as well, probably to find out what I looked like." she ended her explanation there, as to not let anyone pry any further.
Minami :"I see..." she pondered for a while
Mayu :"I know what you're thinking but things don't usually go the way someone plans, senpai."
Atsuko :"I know, but I'm betting on that chance."

   At that moment, Atsuko's cellphone rang. Someone called her. She answered the phone but couldn't hear the voice clearly so she puts it on loud speaker.
   
??? :"Atsuko? You there?" the voice from the tiny yet advanced technology known as the cellphone spoke.
Atsuko :"Ah. Sae? It's rare for you to call me." she laughs a bit.
Sae :"I know. I just need your permission on something."
Atsuko :"For what?"
Sae :"I want to beat up one of the Mirai Gakuen students."

   Atsuko was speechless. Because of two reasons. One reason is the chance her plan would backfire. If she initiated an attack on one of the students now, that would raise their enemies' morale a lot. With only that, the whole plan she thougt up would be ruined. But there is also another shock to her. It's because Sae wants to fight. Not because she was forced by her, but because SHE HERSELF wanted to. Thus, asking for her permission. Atsuko thought of the reason but didn't pry. She knew for whatever she is fighting, there is a good reason.

Atsuko :"Permission granted."
Sae :"Yosh."
Atsuko didn't hear any relieved sigh or laughed, just a simple reply from her, 'Yosh.'
Atsuko :"Wait, Sae." she says to stop the other girl from hanging up.
Atsuko :"Do your best."
Sae :"Heh. I will!"
Atsuko finally heard her smirk at the end of the line and hung up.

   Everyone heard their conversation. Minami was still shocked, Yuko was speechless, Mayu was trying to find out what's going on and Jurina was... doing nothing, lost. She decided to ask Yuki aboout it later. She knew that her senpai would definitely answer her, being the tsun she is.

======

POV : Miyazawa Sae

   I heard her hung up the call. I then closed my phone and put it in the pocket of my uniform. Right now there aren't any time left, so I dashed at my destination.

   It was the town's central park. Usually, it would be filled with couples walking around hugging and flirting but right now, there aren't any at all. As if the place was deserted. This is to be expected since it's the power of the school for rich kids. I just knew that it was yesterday, thanks to Mayuyu's useless information.

   I searched for her figure and also for any clues that she left behind. Then I saw a banana. "WHY THE HELL IS THERE A BANANA HERE?!" I shouted, confused. I wasn't searching for Saaya-chan. But then I realized, that she probably figured out the location and so I called her. Besides the beeping from the phone, I also heard a ringtone from the distance. It was Michael Jackson's 'Beat it', Saaya-chan's ringtone. I didn't question as to why that girl has Saaya-chan's phone. I decided to ask her later.

   I then ran towards the source of the sound, still calling her. After a few meters, I saw two figures. One was lying down on the ground. It was her.
   
   "Rena!" I shouted her name. I looked at her closely and realized that she's still breathing. She was probably tired. I glared at the other figure, the one who dragged her into this mess.

   "Sashi..." It was one of our friend and someone we trusted a lot. She was wearing a Mirai Gakuen uniform. At first I was shocked, but then I was disgusted. "Transferring to another doesn't mean you can do this to your friend... Even if it IS war..." I still glared at her. She only laughs slightly.

   "Whoa, Miyazawa-san. Take it easy~ You don't need to be so angry about it. Besides, she betrayed our leader." she sat down and pinched Rena's cheeks.
   
   "DON'T TOUCH HER!" I snapped, not able to hide my feelings any longer. She looked at me, acting surprised.
   
   This wasn't the first time that I snapped. The first time that I snapped was when I saw Saaya-chan got beat up by Atsuko. But, this is on a whole new level.

   I dashed forward, decreasing our distance, and jumped to hit her. She of course dodged it nicely. I got down and kicked her leg, hoping she would fall down but all she had to do was jump, and she did. She avoided my kick as well. She took the initiative, being in the air and does a drop kick. I managed to block it but she changed her position in the air and kicked my sides. I dropped and was kneeling in front of her.

   "Miyazawa-san, you've grown weaker." that was her comment on my seriousness.
   
   She was ready to kick me in the head. I knew that I'm not able to dodge this, so I tried to block it but-
   
   "URG!" she was the one kneeling in pain.
   
   I didn't know how to process what had happened. Then I finally realized there was a figure behind her.
   
   It was Rena! But... something was off.
   
   "HAHAHA! Nee, ya mad?" she looked at Sashihara Rino with an intimidating smile. She was scary. It's as if she's finally lost her mind.
   
   Sasshi managed to get up and hit Rena so fast that she couldn't react. But...
   
   "HAHAHA! You're mad~!" she didn't falter at all. As if all her pain receptors aren't working properly. She punched Sasshi again with a punch so hard that she flipped in the air. It reminded me of Saaya-chan's punch.

   Sasshi was out for the count. She probably lost consciousness. Even if she is agile, she's really actually weak when she's attacked. Rena looked at me and also grinned. "Nee, are YOU mad~?" I could only look back at her in fear and disbelief. She's totally lost it.

   She was about to hit me as well but then her cellphone rang. She came back to her senses and looked at me apologetically. She picked up her phone. It was Jurina calling her on the usual basis. The smile she wore when she spoke to Jurina on the phone wasn't like what I saw before. It was a genuine smile. And she's also blushing... Damn you Jurina...

   I got up with the help of Rena who finished her call and both of us headed back to school.
   
   Deep down in my heart, I was actually thankful for Jurina...

POV : Miyazawa Sae END   
======

   "I wonder what happened to Sae..." Minami broke the silence that was left because of Sae's phone call. Atsuko ignored her and took out her manga to read it. The others were pouting because Atsuko ignored them and think that the manga is more important than them. Yuko thought of an idea and hugged Atsuko from behind.

Yuko :"Nee, Acchan~ What do you want to do when you grow up?" she asked the girl with a random question she conjured.
Atsuko :"Live with Tomochin." she didn't take her eyes off her manga and unconsciously answered the question truthfully.
The others were jealous of Tomomi...
Minami :"Then what do you want to be when you grow up?" she also asked her
Atsuko :"Tomochin's bestest friend in the world." she answered instantly
Jurina :"If there's a job in the world you could choose, which would it be?!" she asked, confident that her question is fool-proof
Atsuko :"Tomochin's maid." she answered instantly yet again.
Everyone sighed at her answers.
Mayu :"Then, who do you like the most in this world, though the answer is obvious..." she looked down, depressed. The others as well.

   Atsuko looked at one of them and blushed a bit. As she was about to open her mouth to answer, the door opened.
   
   It was Rena and Sae. Rena was supporting Sae, helping her to walk. The two of them were bleeding, but still has their usual smile.
   
   "Yo, we're back, Atsuko..." Sae grinned at the Ace.

   The ace smiled from the bottom of her heart, knowing that the two did their best
   
   "Welcome back."

kenjoy, nah, it's okay~ She'll eventually show herself one day~

Hmm... I'm thinking that this chapter is supposed to be the antagonist's/villain's/enemy's strike, but for some reason, my choco parfait speaks of something else!

Onto le chap!

=======
[Chapter 8]
=======

   "And that's the gist of it..."

   Miyazawa Sae explains to everyone of what happened with her and one of their ally, Sashihara Rino. Some were taken aback and some just nodded, knowing that this will happen sooner or later. They've known Rino in all these years but they have never gotten any closer than acquaintances. She is the one Atsuko appointed as her close aids. She and another person. After Atsuko became friends with Takamina and Erena ran away from home, Atsuko befriended two other girls.

Sae :"I was really surprised, though. Who knew Rena-chan was that strong..."
Jurina :"Ah, it was Maeda-senpai's advice, right?" she smiled at the other Matsui
Rena :"Un, it was thanks to Maeda-senpai's advice."

======
The day of the news.

   "Leave it to us!" they assured their senior who depended on them. Atsuko smirked and pats both of their heads. First it was Jurina. "Jurina-chan, always look forward." she advised her kouhai. Jurina was surprised. She then pats Rena's head. "Rena-chan, you don't need to put on a facade." Rena was baffled. She had never shown her senior the real side of her yet she had already figured it out. "I don't want you two to get hurt." She hugs the two and after a few seconds, lets go. "Go, the others might need you two." The two looked at each other, still surprised, but then smirked at the end. "Roger!"

======

Rena :"Yukirin-san-senpai, who's this Sasshi person?" she asks the girl that was sitting next to Jurina, instead of the person sitting next to her to change the subject
Yuki :"-san or -senpai? Make up your mind!" she showed a dissatisfied look.
Mayu :"Forget that. Why are you asking Mama when I'm the one sitting next to you?" She also had a dissatisfied look
Jurina :"Mayuyu's jealous~" she teased the older girl.
Mayu glared at the younger girl to make her shut up but she just glared back at starts the glare war.

Mariko :"Forget that, Mayu."
Minami :"These two needs to know about us, you know."
Mayu :"I know... But..."
Yuko :"No buts." Her words froze the other members, as they knew that Yuko is getting pissed for some reason. Yuko looked at Atsuko who is STILL reading manga.
Kami8 :"..."

Atsuko :"Hm? Oh, sorry about that." Atsuko stood up to put the book away but Yuko snatched it from her and puts it inside her clothes.
Yuko :"No more reading books for now."
Atsuko :"WHY?!"
Sayaka :"You seriously need to pay attention to your surroundings, Acchan..." she looked at Atsuko with pity.
Yuki :"And also to others' feelings"
Everyone nodded in agreement while Atsuko is still lost about what's going on.

Atsuko :"Well, what were we talking about?"
Yuki :"Rena-chan asked me about Sasshi."
Haruna :"Yukirin should tell her about it~" she says lazily.
Sae :"She needs permission from Acchan, since Acchan is the first one who met her."
Atsuko :"I think I'll tell you about this, Rena."

Minami :"It's rare for you to offer yourself to explain, Acchan." She was shocked and happy for her friend at the same time
Atsuko :"There's something I need to tell you guys about. When I met Sasshi, there was another person that I've met."
Yuki :"Eh? I've never heard about this before."
Mariko :"Me neither. Care to explain, Acchan?" The one who knew Atsuko the longest asked her out of curiosity.
Atsuko :"Well, let's start from the beginning... During my second year."

======
2nd year

   A girl is walking around school. Her surroundings are full of yankees beating each other up and playing around. She walks through the hallway, looking afraid. The yankees noticed her and went closer to her.

======

   "You know you don't have to do this, right?" A midget told the girl, who was bleeding from getting beat up. The girl only smiled wryly at her and wipes the blood off her face. They were in the park after that. The midget sighs then took a handkerchief and helps her wipe the blood of her face. The girl smiled happily at her friend's kindness. "Arigatou, Takamina." "It's what friends are for, Acchan." The two already started calling each other by their nicknames as a symbol of their close bond.

   The midget, Takahashi Minami opened up another topic. "Hey, what happened with that strong girl we met?" she recalled the small girl, who was slightly taller than her. "Hm? Don't know. But she was really strong... Even though I don't know her name." Atsuko pondered on her name. "Her name's Oshima Yuko... You should at least remember strong peoples' names" she sighed at her friend's carefree attitude. Atsuko actually remembered her name, more like she can never forget it. The only girl she ever met which she needed to use every ounce of her strength to beat her. "Oshima Yuko, huh..." she washed her face using the water from a sink nearby the park.

   Minami needed to help her mother with the chores around the house so she decided to go home first. Atsuko nodded and Minami left. "Oh, a high school student!" a girl ran towards Atsuko and pointed at her. "Hm? What is it?" She asked the long haired girl. "OH! IT SPOKE! YUI-CHAN! IT SPOKE!" she beckoned the girl that was sitting next to her. "'Course she can speak, Aho!" The girl called Yui-chan took a fan out of her pocket and hits the other girl. "Auu.... Why did Yui-chan hit me?" she covers her head, soothing the pain and looks at the girl, surprised.

   Atsuko who was silent bursts out laughing all of a sudden. The other two looked at her weirdly. "Ahaha! Me and Tomochin always does this all the time~" she blurted out which made the two even more clueless. "You two are middle schoolers?" She asked the two. They both nodded their heads. "Oh! My name's Sashihara Rino! Nice to meet you obaa-san! (old lady)" the girl introduced herself to Atsuko. "Hey, does she LOOK dat old to ya?!" the other girl hits Sashi's head. "Da name's Yokoyama Yui, by da way." she smiled at the older girl. Atsuko also smiled back. "... Maeda Atsuko." Atsuko introduced herself as well, knowing that the two won't cause to much trouble even if they knew her.

   After fooling around for half an hour which most of it involves Yui hitting Rino on the head, they said goodbye to each other after exchanging contact info. Atsuko was forced by Tomomi to get a cellphone. She actually didn't want to but as per usual, she could never win against her. When Atsuko arrived at Tomomi's apartment, she saw a figure which she had just seen. It was Yui. She was waiting for the owner of the room. She was shocked to see Atsuko that occupied the room.

   "Etto, where's Tomomi?" Yui asked the older girl. "Tomochin's in the hospital. Didn't you know?" Yui was at first shocked but then realized it. "Ah, I forgot." she made an apologetic face to the older girl which made her smile. Yui is actually Tomomi's childhood friend. Yui is from Kyoto. When Tomomi was 12, she came to Kyoto to live with her aunt for 2 years and she met Yui whose mother is a good friend of her aunt.

   "Ah, so you two go way back~" Atsuko says drinking tea with her while listening to her story. She invited Yui in since she didn't want her to catch a cold. Yui told her how she became to know Tomomi and came to the town to meet her again. "You're such a good girl~" she puts down the tea and hugs the girl who was actually one year younger than her. Atsuko is 17 years old at that time. She is in the second year of high school. "Yui, you're also in high school?" she asked her once she realizes that they're a year apart. "Na, I don't go ta school." She gave the older girl a wry smile. Atsuko didn't pry further as to respect Tomomi's childhood friend.

   "Was Sasshi also from Kyoto?" Atsuko asked Yui thinking about the other girl she met earlier today. "Sasshi? Ah, ja mean Rino? Yeah, she moved to Kyoto two years ago aftah Tomomi left. She followed meh here. And I came here just this morning." she laughed a bit. "Oh, will you stay here for a while?" Atsuko asked the younger girl. "Yup, I'll be here for a while so I'm think'n of go'n to school."

======

   "So reading really does give you knowledge." she blurted out when she was reading the newspaper. She was reading an article about a young serial killer was loose. She didn't actually feel anything though. Yui has already left to visit the hospital. It's okay since her and Tomomi are basically family, that's what she said. "But boring things are boring." she drops the newspaper and went to the kitchen.

   "Yo, Acchan" before she noticed it, a tall woman hugged her from behind. "Mari-chan~" she falls from behind and rolls on the floor along with Mariko. The two were being very friendly to each other despite the way they met. During their first year, a few days after Erena's disappearance, Mariko came to live with Atsuko to take care of her. Atsuko of course didn't want it but once Mariko said it was Tomomi's idea, she couldn't talk back.

   "Oh, you're practicing how to cook again?" Mariko asked the younger girl who was trying to chop some vegetables. "Yup, I'm going to surprise Tomochin when she comes home!" she holds the knife triumphantly. "Oi oi! Be careful with the knife!" Mariko warned her worriedly. In response, Atsuko smirked and swings the knife randomly "Heh. I'm a blade master." she copied a samurai pose she saw in a movie. "No, you're really going to hurt yourself if you keep doing that..."

   "This is the process which will make me into a superhuman." Atsuko nodded to herself. "You already ARE a superhuman, Acchan..."

======

   Mariko left to take care of some business even though it was already night time. Atsuko didn't pry because she really trusts her. She was washing the vegetables when she heard some footsteps from behind. She guessed that it was Mariko so she readied the knife and smirked. When the distance is close enough, she took the knife and turned around.

   Who she saw wasn't Mariko. Atsuko was shocked. It was a girl, with long hair and scary eyes, looking straight at her. Atsuko felt anger from her so she stepped back, hiding back the knife. She actually recognized the girl, so she puts the knife on the table and tackled her, restraining her of her strength. "Yui, what's wrong?" she asks the girl, trying to calm her down.

   Yui pushed her away and punched her off of herself. Atsuko didn't move, moreover, she took the hit. "You..." Yui spoke to the older girl, still angry and even crying.

   "YOU KILLED TOMOMI!"

   That was the second time Atsuko learned of fear.

Ashura - I can't wait to witness the revelations.. :fap

Nice one Yuko! I guess everyone just agree how Acchan being so dense when it comes her surroundings and feelings of others.. I second the motion! :nervous

So, one of the antagonist was Yui?  I was thinking it was Paruru :oops: so if Yui is the enemy then what happened before was one of the reasons why someone wants to defeat Acchan lately?

Naruhodo ne, Acchan, Yuihan and Sasshi were met way back.. And Yui's childhood friend with Tomochin..

WTH just happened? Why Yuihan went berserk?

Ooohh! Can't wait to see what will happen next..

kenjoy, ding ding ding ding

mitsuhara, whoa, thanks~ hope ya'll continue with my selfishness...

   I don't have anything to say, except the antagonist will appear!

   Though I still wanted to show more of Yuihan and Acchan's past >.>

   Now onto the chap!

=======
[Chapter 9]
=======

   Everyone listened to Atsuko's story. Atsuko stopped her story at the most important part.

Mayu :"What happened after that?"
Minami :"Clearly Tomochin is alive and well."
Mariko :"I've never heard of rumors that she died. Besides, if there was some, I would've heard it and told you long ago."
Atsuko :"I don't know."
Sayaka :"What do you mean?"
Atsuko :"After she pushed me and said what she wanted, she went out and I've never seen her since."

Sae :"Tried calling her?"
Haruna :"Ah, Acchan has her number, right?"
Atsuko :"Tried, the number's not available."
Yuki :"So she cut off her track"

Jurina :"Why didn't you ask the Sasshi person?"
Atsuko :"She just shuts up and not tell me anything."
Minami :"Sasshi shutting up? Seriously?"

Rena :"Then this Yui person..."
Atsuko :"Yeah, that's one of the reasons why I accepted this war."
Sae :"You knew Yui was there?"
Atsuko :"No, I've heard it from Mayuyu. The second in command of that school is a second year with weird dialect."

Jurina :"Ah, Yuihan!"
Mayu :"What the?"
Rena :"Jurina's right. The school's second in command is someone that goes by the name Yuihan. I don't know if they're the same people though."
Atsuko :"Then it's confirmed."
Sayaka :"What is?"
Atsuko :"I was the one that gave that nickname to her."

Minami :"You just LOVE giving weird nicknames for people."
Atsuko :"I call it talent."
Sae :"Like calling Sayaka Akigori."
Sayaka :"Actually that was Yuko's nickname. Acchan called me Saaya."
Mayu :"What's with that cute unfitting nickname?"
Sayaka :"Sorry for not being cute." she sulks a bit and looks at Yuko

Sayaka :"Yuko? Why the silence?" she asked her worriedly.
Yuko :"... Nothing..."
Mariko :"Yuko, if you have something to say, say it." she glares at the squirrel-like girl who is down in the dumps
Yuko :"..." she looks at Atsuko's direction
Atsuko :"What is it?" she blinks, confused.
Yuko :"Acchan, I need to know the answer to our last question."

Atsuko :"Hm? What happened to Yuihan? I don't know as well." she shakes her head, not knowing the answer
Yuko :"Not that..."
Minami :"I think I know what she's getting at."
Mayu :"Same."
Sae :"Whoa whoa, what's with the heavy atmosphere?"

   Yuko looked at Atsuko straight in the eyes, while the girl is still confused. Minami and Jurina also looked at Atsuko, waiting for something to happen. Mayu on the hand, is leaning on her seat with arms crossed.

Yuko :"Acchan, I need you to tell me. Who do you love the most?"

   Atsuko was surprised by Yuko's sudden question. The iothers except Minami, Jurina and Mayuyu were also speechless. Silence was filled for a while until Atsuko opened her mouth.

Atsuko :"Why are you asking that now...?"

   She glared back at Yuko, hoping that it would make her back out but Yuko is already used to the girl's glare because of her playing around with a certain midget.

Yuko :"At first I thought it was Takamina, who has always been with you in this school through thick and thin, and then I met Tomochin and of course I knew you and her had a special relationship. I also thought that it was the girl you had your eye on in Takamina's story. Now, there's this Yui person. I want you to tell me exactly. Who do you love the most?" her eyes didn't falter. She looked at the angel with the stare of a bahemoth.

   Atsuko didn't know what to say. The Kami8 kept silent after Yuko's question to make Atsuko answer and to respect it. Yuko, Minami, Mayu and Jurina are shivering, waiting for her answer.

   Atsuko closed her eyes and thought to herself. Her eyes fell on one of them. With the last of resolve, her eyes changed. It wasn't the color, texture shape or anything physical. It just seemed as if her eyes became more clear, more deadly and more confident. Yuko realized this change and was silent. Mariko who was watching the change spoke up.

"Well then, Maeda Atsuko, what is your answer?"

======
In another school

   "Sorry about that..." A girl apologized towards the girl in the center of the room.

   "I see... I won't question as to why you did that, but don't you think it's a little too early, Sasshi?" A girl with long hair asked the one apologizing to the one in the center.
 
   "No, Milky. It's not too early. At least that's what I think..." The one called Sasshi lifted her head from bowing.

   "Acchan's prob'ly think'n of a strat'rgy. If we strike now, it shoulda be an advantage." the girl who is sitting drinking juice in the corner spoke up.

   "I agree with Yuihan there." the girl with short hair spoke as she pointed at the girl in the corner. "I've never met her but I've heard she's actually pretty smart (<false info) so rather than doing what we usually do, we should go on offense."

   "Seriously, Sayanee? No one wants your opinion!" Milky pointed at the short-haired girl.

   "HUH?! I'm just giving an honest opinion!" Sayanee glares at Milky as Milky hides behind Sasshi.

   "Okay, okay. Enough already." the girl in the center finally spoke, making the others halt their actions. She then continued "I don't mind Sasshi going first there but what I'm mad about is why did you have to choose Rena?" she glared at Sasshi.

   "Sorry... I was actually thinking she was the weakest, at least weaker than Sae... But who knew she was that scary..." Sasshi looked down as she remembered what happened

   "You don't know her... At first I thought she was weak as well, but then I realized she had a hidden potential. I didn't know what it is... But... Acchan really managed to release Rena's true potential..." The girl in the center smirked and then lets out a huge laugh

   "This is amusing!!" She laughs out loud and goes out of the room, her laugh can be heard all around the school

   "Paruru..." the girl with strange dialect looked at her friend leaving... to meet HER.

[To be continued]

Title: The Game of Life [Chapter 10]
Post by: AshuraX on August 23, 2013, 12:43:48 PM
kenjoy, I just love cliffhangers~ XD They make me feel alive~ LoL

   It's been a LONG time!!! I don't think anyone's reading this but I finally got the idea!!! But it's gone by the time I touched the keyboard *facepalm* Anywho, let's see how much I've improved~

[Chapter 10]

   Maeda calmed herself down as to not blurt out anything unneeded. She knew herself that she always says things that would surprise others but now, she doesn't want anything else to go wrong. Things had already escalated wrongly ever since the others met Itano and they've been misunderstanding their relationship. Maeda owes Itano her life but that doesn't mean she's in love with her, though if Itano wants Maeda to be with her forever, she will follow her order. That's how much she trusts her. She thought of something and looked at Oshima again. Her eyes weren't joking. She was dead serious. As if a predator glaring at her pray. Maeda decided. She will play that card. The card she doesn't want to use on any one of her friends. The card in which Itano taught her. The card... of deceit.

Atsuko :"Uuuu...." Tears started to form on her eyes as her lips formed a pout.
Yuko :"Eh???" the bewildered girl looked at her teammates and found that the others were surprised as well.

   Seeing this scene form in front of her, Shinoda smirked and decided to help her best friend and supposed little sister.

Mariko :"Aww, Yuko made her cry." she blamed and teased the squirrel girl.
Yuko :"Eh?! I- I just wanted her to answer a simple question!"
Yuki :"You're the worst, Yuko..."
Sae :"You made the strongest girl in this school cry..."
Yuko :"I- I didn't mean to make her cry!" she defended herself from everyone's stares.
Haruna :"Yuu-chan..."
Yuko :"I- It really wasn't my intention, NyanNyan!"
Haruna :"You're the worst."
Yuko :"Urg!" thus, as if an arrow has been stabbed right in her chest, she fell.

   Shinoda calmed Maeda down and the others dragged Yuko out for some punishment. All that's left in the room are Maeda, Shinoda and Watanabe. Maeda finally finished her fake crying and continued to read her manga. Seeing this, Watanabe snapped.

Mayu :"Did you really just did that to avoid the question?!" she slammed her palms on the desk. It hurt but she didn't mind the pain. She was too focused on the senior in front of her.
Atsuko :"Then you want me to answer truthfully and hurt the others?" she says in a stern voice, not taking her eyes off of the manga.
Mayu :"Y- You realized...?"
Atsuko :"How could I not? Four of you were clinging to me like your life depended on it. I'm not as stupid as you think."
Mayu :"..."

   Silence fell. Watanabe was shocked by Maeda's statement. She knew just how much of an airhead Maeda was, but it was all a facade. Just how much did Maeda tell her lies? She didn't want to know...

Mayu :"Fine then..."

   Watanabe got up from her seat and left the library, not forgetting to glare at her senior one last time.

Mariko :"You deserved that, you know." she glared at Maeda as well after Watanabe left.
Atsuko :"I know..."

   Maeda knew just how much she might hurt everyone but it wasn't her intention to make every one of them fall in love with her. It wasn't her fault. Yet, she feels somewhat guilty for it. She didn't know how she might face Watanabe the day after.

Mariko :"Takamina, Yuko, Mayu and Jurina. How are you going to face each of them? I know you don't see Tomomi that way. And I know she doesn't see you that way either."
Atsuko :"How can I? It's better if I just shut up. You know better than anyone just what happens if I open this mouth of mine."
Mariko :"You should answer their feelings even if it hurts them."
Atsuko :"They're my friends... how could I ever-" as Maeda argued, Shinoda slammed the table and interrupted
Mariko :"THAT'S LIFE! Things doesn't go as you want is this game of life! You should just face it headstrong! Don't look back! Focus on what you want!"

   Seeing Shinoda so serious caused Maeda to be silent. She knew her too much to just laugh it off now. She also knew what she should do... She knew it from the start. From the incident which stole her heart... Yes, that incident.

======
[FLASHBACK: 2 weeks after Yui's incident]

   A lone girl stood in the middle of the abandoned building. Bodies were left on the ground. Some were writhing in pain, some fainted and some were dead. The girl sighed at her own mess and looked at the display on her phone.

From : Takamina
Subject : Hey

Where are you?! I'm at your apartment right now! Wait, it's your friend's, right? Anywho, come on! Don't make me waiting for too long! You're the one that wanted to watch that horror movie together, Acchan... It's not like I'm afraid to watch it alone or anything... Just... Argh! Just be quick, will you?!


   She chuckled a bit as she imagined of how her friend must be agitated as she isn't there. She knows just how hot-headed her friend is. She might even be screaming about, waiting impatiently in front of her friend's apartment. She closed her eyes, to savor the peace, only to be dragged down to reality as the smell of blood passed her nose. Maeda decided to go back before Takahashi explodes in anger.

"So this is the Untouchable Queen, huh." a voice came from behind her as she tried to leave.

   She looked behind to see a young girl. Her figure looked like a doll. She was really beautiful, cute even. Maeda couldn't take my eyes off her. It was as if she was in a trance. The hair of the girl was divided into two pigtails, twintails, which made her even cuter than she already is. Her skin looked soft, her face was small, her lips formed a smile, and her eyes was captivating. The pure aura from the girl resonated in the entire building.

   She wanted to touch her. She wanted to hug her tightly. It was as if she wanted to make the girl hers. Something inside her burned more than ever. Like a volcano erupting inside her heart. Maeda gulped and went back to reality.

"What do you want?" Maeda asked in a tone which made the girl shiver inside. However, in the outside, she was calm.
"Is it so wrong for me to want to see the town's most rumored yankee in action?" she asked with as she tilted her head to the side and smiled.

   Her action made Maeda blush slightly. She didn't know what the feeling inside her was. It was an unknown feeling to her. It brings her joy. She usually finds joy in eating food with Itano but this time, just by looking at the girl's actions, she didn't know what to do. She wanted to embrace her tightly, even if her skin looked as fragile as a work of a glass sculpture. The foreign feeling... what was it?

   'Isn't that love...?' 'NO!' 'Admit it.' 'I know not of such a thing!' 'You know it.' 'I'm a yankee!' 'You are a girl.'
   Inner conflicts were built up inside her mind, searching for the answers. She didn't know the conclusion of it, but something tells her that she doesn't need to.

   Without a second thought, she glared fiercely at the girl. When the girl took a step back from her, she pounced on her and they both fell down. Sitting on top of her, she puts her hands on the girl's chin, feeling her beautiful face.

"Stop with the facade already. It's pissing me off." she said clearly to the girl.

   After a few seconds, the girl chuckled.

"I was found out." The girl looked at a spot, the door of the entrance. "You can come in, Yukirin."

   At her word, a raven-haired girl with a slight dark aura came in.

"My name's Watanabe Mayu and the girl over there is Kashiwagi Yuki, We were just here by coincidence, sorry." the doll-like girl gave a wry smile as she introduced herself and the raven-haired girl.

   Maeda pondered for a bit if she should introduce herself or not. After a few moments, she reluctantly opened her mouth.

"Maeda Atsuko..."

   Watanabe smiled as Maeda got up from her, realizing that she doesn't want to fight them.

"Maeda-senpai, is it?"


[END OF FLASHBACK]
======

   Shinoda looked at Maeda who is now drifting in nostalgia. The girl was looking outside of the window as per usual, but her eyes seemed like she was remembering an incident and judging by her flushed cheeks, it isn't a mystery anymore.

   Maeda snapped back to reality by the clap from Shinoda and then she slumped back into depression. Maeda knew it. She didn't have the courage to take the step. She didn't dare to hurt her friends. Some called her a monster, a devil, even the shinigami (death god/Grim Reaper) but in reality this girl is actually weak. She's weak with things that involves her friends. When she first heard that Itano and Minegishi, her closest friends were kidnapped by the yakuza, she at first didn't know what to do. She was in dilemma. She couldn't do anything. She didn't move, talk, think, NOTHING. When Shinoda saw the sorry state she was in, she lost it and punched the girl right in the face. The first punch she has ever received.

"ARE YOU JUST GOING TO SIT AROUND DOING NOTHING WHILE YOUR FRIENDS ARE IN DANGER?! I DON'T GIVE A BLOODY HELL EVEN IF YOU'RE MY ENEMY, BUT OUR FRIENDS NEED US! SO MOVE YOUR DAMN LEGS ALREADY!"

   She still remembered the words that came from Shinoda. With that, she punched the older girl back and smirked. After that, happened a legendary incident in the town. 'The Massacre of the Swallow's nest'.

Mariko :"Don't worry, Acchan." she pats the girl on the shoulder. "Whatever happens, Tomomi, Mii-chan and I will always be with you." she assured the girl.

   Maeda finally came to a decision. The decision which could change her whole life.

Atsuko :"After the war..." she gulped and readied her heart for this decision. "After the war... I'll settle everything..."

   Shinoda sighed and hits the girl lightly on the head.

Atsuko :"W- What was THAT for?!" she soothed her head while faked crying.
Mariko :"That's not what I want to hear, Acchan."
Atsuko :"Then?"
Mariko :"..."
Atsuko :"..."

   The silence was killing Maeda. She's not comfortable under pressure. So, she finally gave in.

Atsuko :"I know..." she heaved a sigh and looked at Mariko straight in the eyes "After the war, I'll confess everything to them"

   Hearing this, Shinoda finally smiled. She was proud of the girl's mental growth. She has grown up from a lone wolf to a normal girl who could make a big decision in life. It was all thanks to Itano which made her grow into such a fascinating woman. If it wasn't for her, who knows just how many more people will Maeda kill. And of course, even if she doesn't want to admit it, it was all thanks to Maeda's meddling which she could finally find a more meaningful event in life. That is, the Kami8, and... that certain Gachapin.

Atsuko :"Mari-chan..."

   Shinoda looked at the girl who called her. She was fidgeting while averting her eyes. Her index fingers are tapping each other, her mouth was mumbling something that couldn't be heard, her cheeks were flushed red to her ears, and her eyes were wandering from the girl's side to her friend.

   She knows. This could only mean one thing.

Mariko :"Man, you're such a big baby."

   Shinoda hugged the girl tight. Resting the girl's face on her chest. Maeda was surprised for a bit, but then closed her eyes to enjoy the warmth of the older girl. The sound of Shinoda's heartbeat calmed her down entirely. Reassuring her that the presence known as 'Shinoda Mariko' is always by her side through thick and thin. She couldn't deny it. At first, she hated Shinoda. Always stuck up, not true to her feelings, feeling jealous over Minegishi but still denies it, she was a person not fit to be Itano's friend. She only played along with her just like how she did with Takahashi before. But after the incident when Itano and Minegishi were kidnapped, she finally realized. She realized even when she fights, when she disappears, when she lost everything, the one who picked her up will always be Shinoda. With a smile on her face, she will always be by her side.

   Shinoda also knew it from the start. And like Maeda with her, she also hated Maeda. Running off alone and coming back to Itano's house, bruised. She thought Itano would be pissed or even hit her. But that wasn't the case. She scolded her. Not like a boss with it's employee, but like a mother scolding her child. You could feel the warmth of their relationship even without knowing them. Even so, Shinoda despised Maeda, but she trusts Itano. For whatever reason, Itano always makes the right choice. Her words to Shinoda after she while she was taken to the hospital was "Take care of Acchan...". Maeda Atsuko is the life of Itano Tomomi. After spending a lot of quality time together, she finally realized how wrong she was about Maeda. The girl was like a newly-born chick. Fascinated by anything and almost everything. From the time she was a large screen LCD TV, to the time she discovered the existence of the thing known as a 'Sundae'. You couldn't help but like the girl. And by time, they finally opened up to one another and their existence was finally one. The older sister and the younger one. They were family.

Atsuko :"Thanks... onee-chan..."

   It wasn't embarrassing when Maeda called Shinoda 'Onee-chan'. And instead Shinoda couldn't help but really think it. She loves the girl like she was her own sister. She finally knew why Itano was so attached to her. She just can't help but spoil the girl. When Maeda is filled with emotions, she would always called Shinoda 'onee-chan' out of instinct and Itano 'Mama'. It's like she was raised. The three years they've been together felt like her whole life. She felt like they've been together since birth.

======

Atsuko :"How are the others?" she asked the girl who looked at her phone after separating from the hug.
Mariko :"Seems like Yuko calmed down."
Atsuko :"Good."
Mariko :"But..." her tone sounded off. She was worried.
Atsuko :"What's wrong."
Mariko :"Mayu..." she thought of what to say next. She looked at Atsuko and the looked on her face was nostalgic. That curious look. The look which stole the heart of four fallen warriors.

"She...
disappeared."

======
[Shopping district]

Minami :"Any luck?!" the small girl asked one of her schoolmates.
Girl :"W- We can't find her, Ma'am..."
Minami :"THEN SEARCH MORE!"
Girls :"H- HAI!"

   The girls left to search for one of their higher-ups.

Minami :"Damn it all!" she cursed whatever is happening and punched the wall.

   The girl's phone rang and the display changed into a group chat.

Yuko :"Any luck on any of your sides?!" the voice came from the phone.

   Minami continued her running and searching while she talked to the phone.

Minami :"None here."
Sayaka :"Negative."
Sae :"You don't even need to ask. If we found anything, we'll tell you straight away."
Haruna :"That's right, Yuu-chan so calm down."
Yuko :"I KNOW!"
Minami :"Easy there, will you?! You're gonna hurt NyanNyan's feelings!"
Yuko :"HUH?! Why the fuck do I have to listen to any of your lectures?!"
Minami :"I'm your comrade so shut up and just search!"
Yuko :"ARE YOU-"
Sayaka :"Okay! Both of you shut up. Fighting won't make anything change for the better. Acchan might even get mad, you know. Haruna, Yuko didn't mean anything so don't mind her."
Haruna :"I know..."
Yuko :"Yeah... Sorry, NyanNyan..."

Minami :"How's the infiltration with Jurina and Rena going?"
Sae :"Seems like they're already in Mirai Gakuen and is searching for them there."
Yuko :"And Yuki? Where's Yukirin?"
Sayaka :"I don't know. She was the one who told us that Mayu's missing but we lost contact with her."
Haruna :"She must be desperately searching for her by now..."

   They all knew just how much Kashiwagi loves Watanabe. She was her only friend when they were children. They only have each other. Kashiwagi protected Watanabe from all harms. She wasn't as strong as the other girls in the Kami8, but she's stronger than most of the men her age. She would always come to the rescue when Watanabe needed it and she would always find her. But now, she felt something was wrong.

Minami :"All of you continue searching. Ask any pedestrians you can find and search every nook and cranny. If you come across any of the AKB Gakuen's students, ask them to search with you. And if you see Yuki, calm her down. She might tell you she's okay but I doubt that. At least tell her to answer her calls. Use force if necessary."
Others :"ROGER!"

======
[The library]

Mariko :"I know that you want to search as well, but you have to stay here, Acchan."
Atsuko :"... I get it. I'll focus on the war, then."
Mariko :"Good."
Atsuko :"If Yuki is searching for her as well, then they'll find her." she assured herself and sat back on her seat, looking at the documents in her hands.

"We'll strike in two days." Maeda decided and placed the documents on the desk. "The sooner, the better. It'd be great if we found Mayuyu by that time, but even if we didn't, we'll have to. It's going to be hectic, but we'll have to try. I will fight as well. I don't think we'll stand a chance if I just sit around waiting."

======
[The next day, Library]

   The girls entered the room. Some with fear and some with bags under their eyes.

Atsuko :"How was it...?"
Minami :"Negative... We tried every single place we could think of but there wasn't any luck."
Atsuko :"I see..."
Minami :"We even asked the other students to help but-" with a slam on the desk, she was interrupted.
Atsuko :"YOU WHAT?!"

   It was the thing Atsuko didn't want the most. Direct contact from the Kami8 and asking them to search for one of the top's members since they are missing is something she really didn't need.
1. It would decrease the morale of the students and thus making them unable to fight to the fullest in the upcoming war.
2. A rebellion might be called to take the missing spot of the Kami8
   And last but not least...
3. Rumors will spread.

Girl :"T- This is bad!" a girl came inside the library. Akimoto was about to scold her but was stopped by Maeda's glare.
Girl :"M- Mirai Gakuen students are infiltrating our school!"

"Things don't usually go the way someone plans, senpai"

Title: The Game of Life [Chapter 11]
Post by: AshuraX on August 30, 2013, 07:36:38 PM
olive, surprise surprise~ XD Yes, WAR!!! Atsuko will fall!!! Probably.

cisda, surprised, ey~~ And Mirai Gakuen's top is Shimazaki Haruka, as stated in the chapter where I introduced the school's members.

kenjoy, LoL. 'MY Mayu' XD. Ya surprised~? Totally random pairing~ Don't worry, she's alright~ I wrote some other fanfics and an OS, but I don't know if it's good or not. Check it out. And I'll try to finish this once and for all!!! Coz I can't stand thinking of evil Ponkotsu being pushed aside...

   Why did I choose Mayuyu as Atsuko's pairing? Because, think about it. Atsuko has a 'thing' for Mayuyu but what was it? She's always with Mayuyu. Even going as far as to hang out with her even more than with Minami. And that's her partner. So when I think about it, Mayuyu's younger, so I'm guessing Atsuko's 'I don't date shorter people' policy would probably be nullified. So, Atsuko x Mayuyu~ I'm sorry YUKO!!!! QAQ (Used to pushing Takamina aside and I don't regret handing Jurina over to Rena)

   Now onto the chapter... Sorry I messed up the chapter number last time...

[Chapter 11]

"Anyone objecting?" Maeda asked the others after she explained what they will do.

   Everyone kept quiet and kept their head down. Shinoda was looking at her friend, worried. Maeda herself already knew...

Minami :"Acchan, I don't mind the plan, but..."
Sae :"Takamina has a point there..."

   They looked at each other and reassured themselves that it wasn't just their imagination.

Mariko :"Acchan."
Atsuko :"What is it...?" she glared at the taller girl, not wanting her to say anything more.

   She herself already knew that fact.

Mariko :"You'll stay here." she says the one thing everyone wanted.
Atsuko :"WHY?!" she snapped, grabbing onto the older girl's collar. "ARE YOU INSANE?! YOU WANT ME TO STAY QUIET WHILE THE SCHOOL'S UNDER ATTACK?!

   Maeda glared at Shinoda in a way that reminded her of the time she first realized of her monstrous strength. Shinoda wasn't affected by it even a bit. Her mind was made clear. She knows that the girl is trying to hold it in, but...

Mariko :"You're unstable right now, Acchan. I don't want you to start killing mercilessly again."

   True enough, Maeda was acting anxious. Her hands were shivering, her legs were almost giving out and her eyes were wavering. Everyone knew. Something was wrong with her. Yes, she was worried. She was worried sick for the one she cares for. She was worried of what happened to Watanabe Mayu. Is she in danger? Was she kidnapped? She was scared of these questions. These sort of questions were what lead to Maeda's massacre two years prior. These feelings led to her state of denial in front of Shinoda, and surely it will cause her to get hurt at the present.

'Promise me... Don't kill anymore...'

   She remembered what her savior said to her when she found out about her condition. Itano wasn't actually the type that would allow her to just kill while she was aware of it. Maeda always abided her orders and has never broken her promise ever since she heard this order right after she gathered the Kami8,

   If Maeda was dispatched in this war, it could lead into either two of these endings, one is that Maeda going clinically insane and start to break her promise, killing anyone in sight, ally or non-ally. The other one being Maeda getting mentally weak, not giving her the mind to fight, causing her to get hurt, or even killed if some people found out about Maeda's existence.

Atsuko :"... But I can't just do nothing..." she looked down, her hands losing the grip on Shinoda's collar.
Mariko :"I know..." she pats the girl's head, calming the girl down.

   Takahashi saw the state she was in and finally took the lead.

Minami :"Okay, listen up."

   Everyone's eyes were on her, looking at the one that was leading even Maeda and the one they trust.

Minami :"We'll go with Acchan's plan. Sae, Yukirin, Sayaka. You three will be guarding the first floor. I will stay with Acchan in the library in the third floor in case anyone gets in. Mariko and Haru-nyan will control the second floor. Yuko will focus on the third floor. The first floor is the most dangerous so watch your backs. Sae and Sayaka will mentally support Yukirin."

Minami :"Yukirin."
Yuki :"Hai."
Minami :"Things will get messy but I hope you'll put your mind to it. Don't worry, we'll find Mayuyu once we settle the things here."
Yuki :"Hai..."

Minami :"Sae."
Sae :"Here."
Minami :"With Jurina, Rena and Mayuyu gone, you'll have to do better than ever. Your mental support, Sayaka is with you. I'm sure you guys will do fine."
Sae :"Heh. Leave it to me."

Minami :"Sayaka."
Sayaka :"Present."
Minami :"You'll have to watch over these two. I trust you in this."
Sayaka :"Roger."

Minami :"Dispatched."
Sayaka, Yuki, Sae :"Hai!"

   The three left the library and headed to the first floor.

Minami :"Mariko."
Mariko :"Yeah."
Minami :"With Acchan like this, you'll have to beat up every of Mirai's students in sight."
Mariko :"You don't even have to ask."

Minami :"Haru-nyan."
Haruna :"... Yeah."
Minami :"... Don't get hurt..."
Yuko :"... Why do I feel challenged for some reason...?" she pondered.

   As the squirrel pondered, the two left to the second floor. Takahashi finally looked at Oshima and found her pondering on something. She decided to just leave it be.

Minami :"Yuko."
Yuko :"Ah. Yeah."
Minami :"Do what you do best."
Yuko :"You mean seducing?"
Minami :"HELL NO!" she hits the squirrel on the head.
Yuko :"Ouch! That hurt, Bakamina!" she rubs her head while glaring at the girl a few centimeters shorter than her.
Minami :"Get serious about this, will you...?" she rubs her temples, getting tired of the squirrel's carefree attitude.
Yuko :"I'll try..." she then left to the door.

   Oshima took one last look at Maeda who is sitting on the chair with her head down. The squirrel had doubts about it. She had a bad feeling. As if that might be the last time she saw the Ace. She shook her head and finally opened the door.

"I'll see you later, Acchan..."

======
[Sayaka's POV]

"JUST GET OUT OF HERE!" I shouted as I punched another girl in the stomach. She fell down, crunched up as she held her stomach.

"Sayaka, watch out!" as I looked behind me, a girl was trying to hit me with a metal pipe.

   Just before the pipe made contact with my head, I managed to tilt my head to the side, avoiding it and as I did that, another girl kicks the girl right her behind.

"Thanks for the back-up, Sae!" I said as I took position, standing back-to-back with her.

"You really need to pay attention to your surroundings... like... my feelings..." She said and mumbled the last part in a way I couldn't hear.

"Huh? What?" I asked as I kicked a Mirai student in the noggin. She won't die just because of that, though.

"NOTHING!" she shouted as if pissed and went away to help with another area.

   I looked at Sae's back again and burned it in my mind.

"HORA!" An unknown girl managed to punch me in the face. Luckily, my reaction was quick enough. I tilted my head in the opposite direction, minimizing the damage.

   I looked at the girl, shocked as I saw someone as strong as me that's not from the Kami8. What makes her different from the rest is probably that her badge is silver. I wonder what her name is.

"Sayaka! I'm going ahead!" Another girl told her as she went upstairs.

"Sayaka?" I asked, curious.

"Yeah. The name's Yamamoto Sayaka. You must be one of the so-called 'Kami8' of this school, huh..." she says smiling as she looked down on me.

I grinned and answered "Nice guess. The name's Akimoto Sayaka." I stood up and stretched.

She doesn't mind it and stretched as well. In the corner of my eyes, I could see Sae trying to fight with another girl. Wait, that's Sasshi.

"So Sasshi defected to your school, huh..." I said and looked back at the girl, Yamamoto.

"Well, she's a little too fond of one of our students." she giggled as she took a stance.

"She defected just for that? I gotta hand it to her." I grinned and also took my stance. "She's a little too carefree, isn't she?"

======
[Yukirin's POV]

I took down another girl and went to the other. They just keep on coming. Some of my school's students were doing quite well, thanks to all the fighting they did with each other. But I don't think I can hold out for too long.

"HAAAA!!" a Mirai student came flying at me and I casually avoided it. It wasn't too dangerous, thanks to Maeda-senpai's constant attacks on my... ahh...

"Just stay down." I said as I hit the girl at the left side of her stomach, making her tumble backwards.

I looked at the front and saw a Mirai student rushing at me. She has a silver badge, unlike most of the other Mirai students.

Before she could land her punch on me, I hit the girl's punch by slapping the left side of the girl's fist with the back of my hand, changing her course.

She was surprised by what I did but before she could react, I hit the girl on her back with my elbow, causing her to fall down. She looked at me surprised but as I looked back at her, she grinned. Before I could jump back, she kicked me at the side and got up.

I glared at the girl as I got up and rubbed my side. She only smirked and took her stance.

"You look strong. Name yourself!" she says as she looked at me.

"Huh? You should state your own name before asking others'." I took my own stance as well.

"Ah, forgot... Watanabe Miyuki." she says playfully, introducing herself.

"Huh?! Do you have any relation to Watanabe Mayu?!" I asked, losing my form.

"???" she looked lost.

"Ah, sorry..." I apologized.

Dammit. I really don't want to be reminded of Mayuyu right now... This is bad, I'm starting to lose myself...

Before I could take my stance again, I see the girl right in front of me.

"Don't take your eyes off your enemy~"

======
[Shinoda Mariko's POV]

"Nyaro!" I looked at Nyaro who fell to the ground.

I quickly went up to her and checked to see if she's going to be okay.

"Sorry, Mari-chan..." she apologized as she felt into unconsciousness.

I looked at the cause of her defeat. A Mirai Gakuen student who has a silver badge. If what Mayuyu said was true, then it means that she's one of the school's top.

"What did you just do?!" I lost in anger and the girl smirked.

"Chill. Something like dat won't kill 'er." she says in a weird dialect. If I'm not wrong, I'm guessing she's from Kyoto.

I got up and ran towards the girl. She stepped to the side, which was surprising, and before I could think, she pounced and tries to hit me in mid-air. I managed to block it with my left palm. She changed her course and using my palm as a lever, she pulled it and kicked my sides. I blocked it with my right palm.

She smirked and jumped back as I released her.

"Yer strong... Da name's Yokoyama Yui. Wat's yers?" she asked and it clicked.

"Huh? Were you called 'Yuihan'?"I asked her and she nodded even though she was surprised.

"Oh? How didja know?" she was curious and asked me.

"What's your connection with Tomomi?" I asked back.

She smirked as she heard my question.

"So ya heard from Acchan, ey..."

"You'd better explain yourself. I want you to tell me what the hell did you mean when you said that Acchan killed Tomomi."

Her look changed to a rather dark expression. It was something I rarely saw. She glared at me, making the inside of my skin crawl. The glare was frightening. The glare which even Acchan was surprised to see. That glare. It made me took a step back by instinct.

"Tomomi changed because of her..." she looked down this time and explained. "She was usually always clinging to me but now... she talks about her too much... It wasn't the Tomomi I know!" she glared at me.

"... But that's not her fau-" before I could finish, she interrupted and shouted at me "YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING!"

She continued "You don't know anything... I..." she looked down and I could see tears falling down her face.

I took a few steps forward to calm the girl down and before I could reach her, SHE REACHED ME.

"I WANT MY TOMOMI BACK!!!"

======
[General POV]

   Takahashi Minami paced in the room. Going back and forth from the same spot to the other. Maeda looked at her but didn't even feel like cracking a joke. She continues to look down as the situation outside was folding and she didn't know what's actually happening.

"Don't worry... I'm sure they're safe..." Takahashi assured the girl but hearing this from her when she was like that doesn't really put Maeda at ease.

"I sure hope so..." Maeda says but just as she was about to stand up and hug Takahashi to reassure her, she felt an ominous feeling. She looked at the door, making Takahashi feel curious.

"What's wrong?" she asked the Ace who didn't answer but kept looking at the door as her sweat was running down her entire face. She was too scared. No, a better way to describe it is that she's feeling insecure, not because of her crush missing, but it was something more terrifying.

Just as she thought that, the door was opened. It wasn't like the time with the two Matsuis who are currently missing in action, probably still in Mirai Gakuen, The door opened gracefully and entered was a girl, wearing a Mirai Gakuen uniform.

"Sorry for intruding..." the girl politely enters.

"Huh?! What are you doing here?! Where's Yuko?!" Takahashi looked at the girl confused.

"State your name." Maeda wasn't really too fond of details. She just wanted to get it over with. Besides, the feeling gripping her chest doesn't really want to know what actually happened to her best friend.

"Shimazaki Haruka. I'm the top of Mirai Gakuen. Nice to meet you." she bowed to the two in the room.

"I see... My name is Maeda Atsuko, the top of AKB Gakuen. That there is Takahashi Minami. I'm sorry, but could you please leave? I'm not in the mood right now." she slumped back on her seat.

"Oh? Sorry but... I don't think you have a choice." she threw a body in the room.

Maeda's eyes shot open as she saw the girl on the ground. Her face was red due to being beat up, bruises were found all over her body and blood was slowly dripping out of her mouth. She was badly injured, as to say. Maeda quickly got up and checked the girl.

"YUKO!" she lifted the girl in her arms and Oshima slowly opens her eyes, forcing herself in her state.

"Acchan...?" she looked at the figure in front of her but she couldn't see very well. She smiled like usual in her beaten up state and opened her mouth again. "I'm... sorry..."

Maeda heard a loud thud behind her and as she looked back, she saw someone she wanted to see the least that moment. Two, in fact.

"Yo... Maeda-senpai..." it was none other than Jurina. At her feet was Takahashi who fainted. On her left was Rena who was holding a baseball bat.

"Jurina! Rena! What the hell did you do?!" she shouted at the two, still surprised by what she just saw.

"Sorry, but we planned this from the start, senpai." it was Rena who answered with Jurina looking down, feeling apologetic.

Suddenly, Maeda felt a pressure, bloodthirst, which she never felt in a while. It was the aura which she remembered dearly. It was coming from none other than Shimazaki Haruka.

"You..." Maeda looked at her as if she felt something nostalgic. She was reminded of when she saw Ono leaving on the helicopter. The aura she felt was coming from her. She finally remembered. "You're... strong..." she knew even before she could fight her. Her aura gives it away.

"I know." Shimazaki joked and in an instant, she was in front of Maeda. She couldn't keep up much but... "Hey, easy there, will you?" she blocked Shimazaki's fist and joked ask the other girl continued her assault. Shimazaki continued attacking her with a grin on her face, finally founding the fun and joy. Maeda of course blocked, dodged and parried each attack.

Once Shimazaki backed up and increased the distance between them. Maeda relaxed and grin. It was a long time since she felt the joy in fighting.

"Really... strong." this time, it was Maeda's attack phase. But, something turned all her attention and mind off. She looked at the figure that has entered the room, flashing her happy smile.

"Mayuyu?" she looked at the girl who smiled in return. "Tadaima." she said and made Maeda smile as well.

'Welcome back' was what she wanted to say but...

She felt a sharp object pierced into her abdomen. She still smiled, though. Not wanting the girl to feel worried, welcoming the girl in any way possible. The girl still smiled even looking at her senior's dire situation.

"I'm sorry, senpai." was what Watanabe could finally say.

Maeda thus fell. Right next to her rival and best friend.

======

"That was sort of unneeded, Mayu." Shimazaki voiced out.

"You know yourself that if it continued, you will lose." Watanabe answered and looked at the girl.

"I wouldn't care... Losing is only a step forward to winning." Shimazaki grinned and looked at Maeda.

"Shouldn't we... send her to the hospital or something?" Jurina asked.

"Why care? You should only look at me, Jurina." Rena smiled at Jurina in a way which scared the girl more than Maeda's glare.

"Yo, so did you win?" four individuals entered and looked at the scene. "Okay, that's an unneeded question." Miyuki smirked as she saw what happened.

"Can't believe THAT Assan lost..." Sashihara looked at her former senpai who is bleeding on the ground.

"Finally." she looked at Maeda in a way which made Shimazaki curious, but she didn't pry. She knew of the depth of the girl's revenge.

"So what about the other girls?" Shimazaki asked and they looked at each other.

"They... escaped." they answered.

"Escaped?" she asked, not believing that the Kami8 would be stupid enough to escape in a school war.

   Shimazaki finally figured it all out, but before she could take action, the other girl already made her move.

"DUCK!" Jurina shouted which made the others do that instinctively. But...

'look forward.'

   Jurina stormed out of the room, carrying Oshima and Maeda in each arm. The others were too late to react.

"CHASE HER!" Yokoyama shouted as they all chased her down. But alas, she was too fast. She was out of sight before they even started their chase.

"So this is the extent of your love for me, huh, Jurina..." Rena grinned as tears fell down her cheeks. "I'm... mad..."

======

"I'm sorry..." Jurina apologized as they hid in the cave which became Maeda's former home.

"It's okay. It was a good thing that Acchan came up with a backup plan, then." Takahashi, who managed to escape with the help of Akimoto who waited for her to jump from the window.

"How are you doing, Acchan?" Shinoda asked and Maeda smirked.

"I'm okay, but... Yuko?" she looked at Oshima who was breathless.

"You're the one we have to be worried about, idiot. You were stabbed." Oshima joked.

"Like something like that could kill Atsuko." Miyazawa smirked as well.

"Yeah, she's already a superhuman." Akimoto joked as well.

"Not to mention... Wait, did Yuu-chan just call Acchan an idiot?" Kojima glared at Oshima followed by the others.

"Hey, I don't mean anything offensive. Just saying." Oshima laughed and the others did as well.

   Their laughs could be heard in the cave as the cold night finally caught up to them. They have been randomly going around for hours, trying to shake off any pursuers. At first they each hid in a random place which nobody goes to and when evening came, they all went towards the cave, as Maeda ordered.

"Is it really true...?" Kashiwagi asked the Ace as she was still in a state of denial. Maeda only smiled wryly, answering her question.

   But then, Maeda stood up, looking at the others. She put her hand on her chest, reassuring herself for her next step. The step which she couldn't take. Shinoda realized just what she wanted to say but as she was going to stop the girl, who wanted to say it at the wrong time, Maeda looked at Shinoda with a warm smile, meaning that she knows and will still do it. Shinoda, seeing this, smirked and relaxed herself, knowing that Maeda will eventually say it and this could very well be the time.

"Yuko, Takamina, Jurina. I have something to say to the three of you." Maeda looked at the three and they stood up, forming a line in front of her. Yuko on her left, Jurina on her right and Takahashi in the middle.

"I..." her vision became blurry. It wasn't really anything wrong, but she was too scared. Fear took in, and mobilized the girl. She was unsure of the future but, she looked at the three again. The face of her rival and best friend, the face of her closest friend and partner, and the face of her cute junior. For this, the fear subdued. "I'm in love with Mayuyu."

She said it calmly, but surprising the others. Their eyes shot open as they looked at the Ace. Jurina and Takahashi's heart was broken into itsy bitsy peaces. Takahashi was about to cry, But...

"So?" the one on her left asked. Oshima was calm.

"It's just a guess that you guys liked me." Maeda made a shy grin, looking at the girls.

"Yeah, I love you. And I still do." Oshima smiled as well, surprising Maeda.

"But I..." she wasn't able to finish her sentence, because she felt a pair of lips take hers. Her eyes shot open as as she realized what had happened. She pushed her lightly.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING, YUKO?!" Maeda covered her lips, afraid and confused of what the squirrel just did.

"Who knows." Oshima grinned as she stepped outside. "You might be in love with Mayuyu, but that doesn't mean I'm considerate enough to just let you go just like that." she looked back at Maeda with a look which surprised the girl and even herself. "Because I'm selfish, Acchan."

As they look at the retreating figure of Oshima, Maeda felt another pair of lips took hers, this time, it was Jurina.

"I don't know what I'm doing and frankly, I don't care. I'm with Yuko on this. I mean, I even had to betray Rena for this. I won't be satisfied unless I have Maeda-senpai all to myself. So I'll make Maeda-senpai fall for me instead." she says confidently and hugged her. Maeda was lost as to what just happened. "I'm going to chase Yuko for now~" she playfully went outside.

Takahashi also went up to her but she didn't even try to kiss her. "I'm not as inconsiderate as the others, but you're probably in the wrong here, Acchan. You actually made all three of us fall for you." she looked at the helpless Maeda who was pondering on what Oshima meant. "You need to face the consequences, you know." Takahashi chuckled as she helped Maeda to get up. "Thanks, Mina-" before Maeda could finish her thanks, Takahashi finally kissed her on the lips, this time, it wasn't the playful kiss they usually did. After they parted with the blank Maeda still unsure of what had actually happened again, Takahashi spoke up "This is my reservation for what's to come, Acchan."

======

After Takahashi left, Maeda lost the strength on her knees again. Shinoda stood in front of her and smiled evilly.

"What? You're going to kiss me as well?" Maeda asked but didn't look up.

"Asked the girl that's blushing furiously." Shinoda teased.

"Shut up." Maeda covered her face, with her legs as she hugged them.

"Can't believe Acchan was so popular..." Kojima was lost as well.

"Wait, you just realized that?!" Akimoto was surprised for a different reason. Oh, Kojima, Kojima...

"You okay, Yuki?" Miyazawa asked the girl next to her who was looking mad.

"Of course not. Maeda-senpai, what did you mean you love Mayuyu?!" Kashiwagi was furious, even jealous perhaps.

"This is gonna need some time for me to explain... NyanNyan, stop glaring at me." Maeda sighed.

======

   Near a lake, a lone Oshima sits and watched the scenery.

"Hey, Yuko. Feeling any better?" Suddenly, Jurina came up from behind and asked the girl.

"... You know I'm not..." Oshima's voice was faint.

"Urk..." a sobbing Takahashi also came up and sat next to Oshima.

"Look at the two who was so proud and mighty in front of Maeda-senpai just a few seconds ago." Jurina sighed while talking to particularly no one. "I wonder what we should do from now on..."

"Well, I'm gonna make advances on Acchan like there's no tomorrow." Oshima answered.

"Wait, you were really going to do it?!" Takahashi was surprised as she stopped crying.

"Of course. She already knows about my feelings so there's no use hiding it anymore. I'm going to do things to Acchan which would make you guys nosebleed just by imagining it..." Oshima says confidently.

"Wait, you already ARE nosebleeding." Jurina pointed out.

"Oh yea, sorry about that. Wait, you guys are, as well!" she looked and found out that the other two was also bleeding.

"Haha. So let's make a new promise." Takahashi stated.

"Hm? What kinda promise?" Jurina asked.

"No matter what happens, we'll never hand Acchan over to Mayuyu." Takahashi smiled.

"Huh? But that would change once any of us three and that girl will be the target next." Oshima pointed out.

"Then..." Takahashi pondered for a bit.

"We'll keep disturbing Acchan until she allows a harem!" Oshima suggested.

"What's with that...?" Takahashi was dumbfounded.

"Who cares~ Sounds fun~ I'm in!" Jurina agreed.

"Woot! Jurina's in~ Wetblanket Bakamina, your answer~?" Oshima asked.

"Yeah, your answer~" Jurina also asked.

Takahashi sighed as she saw the two's behavior. She already knew the answer long ago though.
She faked pondered and finally said it.
"Promise."

And that was the promise of the three in the shine of the moonlight.

[To be continued]

That... was... tiring...

How the hell did that fit into just one chapter?!

Trust me, it won't actually turn into a harem. It's just some fun I'm having XD

   Mayuyu... Why... I'm kinda regretting I did that to Acchan... These hands... are stained... CURSE MYSELF!!! *gets PWN'd by Zeus*

[Chapter 12]

   Oshima started to climb on top of the Ace as she looked at the sleeping beauty in an affectionate way. Her fingers ran along the girl's silky shoulder-length hair. Oshima's breathing became a tad more complex as she eyed the girl while drooling in a perverted way, with her face all red on imagining what type of play she would do to the younger girl.

"I love you, Acchan..."

   Oshima confessed as she came closer to steal the girl's lips yet again,

"Let's stay as friends."

   Oshima was stopped by the palm of the younger girl once she woke up and finding a squirrel-like molester on top of her.

   Maeda quickly got up and pushed the older girl to the side. She made her way to her other friends as she rejected the older girl, leaving her in a state of perverse on the sheet she once laid on. Maeda realized the eyes of all the others were already on them.

"Good morning, thanks for your hard work." Shinoda joked as she hid the digital camera she had.
"Acchan just rejected her flat-out. Poor Yuko." Miyazawa also pitied the squirrel-girl who was smelling the sheet Maeda slept in. "Or not." she continued to eat her breakfast, cooked fish.

"You guys realized what just happened and continued to eat? You could at least help me by hitting Yuko in the head, you know." Maeda sighed at her friend's carefree attitude.
"And what's the fun in that?" Akimoto commented and made the others laugh.

   Maeda sat with the others and ate her breakfast.

   It has been a week since they came to the cave. Maeda declared that they should wait before attacking the others. They didn't know what the Ace is planning but they have complete trust in her, thus they agreed and continued their everyday lives in the cave and the forest.

"Oh yeah, have anyone seen Takamina and Jurina?" Kojima asked, which the others shook their heads.

   In the cave are Maeda, Miyazawa, Akimoto, Shinoda, Kojima, Kashiwagi and Oshima. Jurina and Takahashi was nowhere to be seen.

"This sounds bad..." Shinoda got up which was a signal to the others that something isn't right.

   As they all got up and went towards the entrance, they could hear the scream of a girl. Two of them, to be exact. The voice they recognized a lot.

"Takamina-san!" Kashiwagi quickly dashed towards the direction the scream came from, as she heard two voices, Takahashi and Jurina.

======

   As they got into a clearing in the forest, they saw two girls and standing in front of them, was a giant black bear. They were quickly taken aback as the bear let out a frightening roar. The bear was around 200 centimeters in length.

"G- Guys!" Takahashi was hiding behind a rock with Jurina as they spotted their friends in a situation they just escaped from.

   The bear looked at the humans in front of it and stopped once it's sight reached Maeda. Maeda smirked as she saw the bear's curious glare.

"Hoo~" Maeda walked towards the bear slowly, careful not to startle it.

   The others looked at the Ace in amazement for her bravery and probably even stupidity. Maeda grinned evilly as she hopped on top of the bear, startling it as she grabbed it's fur. The bear didn't know what to do so it got on all fours and ran towards another direction, trying to shake off the human on top of her.

"Acchan!!" they all followed the bear but lost sight of them.

======

   The group searched for the Ace everywhere and finally came to another clearing, the lake. They spotted Maeda but what was surprising was that the bear was lying beat up and defeated as the victor sat on top of it while fooling around with it. Maeda saw her friends and gave them the foolish smile she always had.

   The others were looking at her, jaw dropped, as they realized what was going on.

"A- Acchan beat it?" Kojima asked, as her mouth was trying to form an awkward smile.
"L- Looks like it..." Miyazawa was also baffled as to what she just saw.
"And she isn't even hurt that much..." Takahashi commented as she saw Maeda with only a few scars on her arm.

   To their surprise, the bear woke up from slumber and got up, making the girl tumble backwards and onto the ground. Maeda rubbed her head that hit the ground, softly.

"Ouch! That hurts!" Maeda made an obvious comment as she looked at the bear standing in front of her as mighty as it gets.

   Maeda smirked as she saw the bear still alive and well. The bear raised it's paws which made the others quickly dashed towards her.

'We won't make it!'  they thought to themselves as they desperately made their way towards the Ace in danger.

"Kuma~" Maeda cutely opened her arms and she was hugged by the bear in a tight hug, which surprisingly doesn't make the girl hurt at all.

   The others stopped their tracks and looked at the two hugging in an affectionate and playful way.

"I missed you too, Kuma~" Maeda rolled around with the bear and the bear appeared to be smiling in a way.

"Eh??!!" finally, they lost it.

[Shimazaki Haruka's POV]

"It's been a week already..." I said, dissatisfied with how the search was going.

   A week has passed since the fight with AKB Gakuen and their top's disappearance, but we couldn't find them anywhere we searched. Their school students didn't know either. It seemed like they didn't know what Maeda Atsuko, their top looks like. I didn't know if I could believe them but if that really was the case, then I've got to hand it to her. She's one hell of a mastermind. The first one to ever escape from any of Mayu's traps.

"Paruru..." the one that stood next to me spoke worriedly as she looked at me.

   I looked at Yui who has been with me ever since I found her.

======
[FLASHBACK]

"Get away from meh..." the girl glared at me in the rain as she laid her back on the wall.

   I looked at her with sympathy. Her clothes were torn and her eyes were red, probably from crying. She looked like she was older than me. I sat down with her as we covered ourselves under the umbrella. She looked surprised by my actions so I smiled at her, reassuring her that I mean no harm.

"Why...?" she asked, as raindrops started to fall from her hair, or was it her tears? I don't know. It was hard to tell...
"Don't know. Instincts, maybe..." I answered and gave her a wry smile as I myself, don't know what I'm doing.

   She looked down again with her cheeks turned red. Did she have a fever?

"You okay?" I asked her, worried, as I checked her temperature with my palm, placing it on her forehead.
She was taken aback by my action as she flinched. "I- I'm fine!" she slapped my hand away as she covered her face while hugging her legs.

   I was kinda worried but there's no way you wouldn't get suspicious is some stranger suddenly came to you and offered you her umbrella, so I decided to shrug it off and sat there with her for a while.

"You sound weird. You're not from here, are you?" I asked her as I remembered that her dialect was a bit different.
"Y- Yeah. I'm from Kyoto." she answered, still not looking at me in the eyes.
"Kyoto? What are you doing here?" I asked her back but didn't get an answer.

   She kept silent after I asked her. The silence wasn't comfortable at all. I thought I probably have stepped on a landmine or something, or that question was a little too personal. So, I apologized.

"S- Sorry..." I apologized to her as I made a wry smile. She shook her head as she still didn't look at me back. "My name's Shimazaki Haruka. What about you?" I introduced myself.

After a few seconds of silence, I thought of giving up but then she answered. "Yokoyama... Yui..."

"Yokoyama?" I asked her with her last name.

She shook her head and tried to explain. "Y- You can call me Yui..." she lifted her head up and finally look at me in the eyes, with her cheeks redder than before.

I gave her a warm smile as I called out her name. "Sure, Yui." which she flinched and quickly went back to covering her face with her legs. Gah, that didn't work at all. "So do you have a place to stay?" I asked her in which she shook her head. She's kinda cute... I decided as I patted her head. "Want to stay with me?"

[END OF FLASHBACK]
======

"I'm fine." I patted her head as I smiled at her warmly. She blushed yet again as she looked down.
"H- Hai..." she answered, with a blushed face which made her look cute~

"The happy couple happily making out like that in front of their friends over there, you done yet?" I heard the sound of Saya-nee teasing us as Miyuki was making 'woot woot' sounds, joining in the tease. Sasshi was trying her best not to laugh as Mayu and Rena looked at us weirdly, giving us the glare.

"W- We're not like that!" Yui blushed madly then took out a paper fan and hit Saya-nee right in the head, though she dodged it.
"Haha~ TsunTsun Yuihan is SO cute~" Saya-nee teased as she ran away outside with Miyuki, dragging her with her. Yui also followed to 'punish' them.

   Now all the ones left in the room are me, Mayu, Sasshi and Rena.

"So any luck on Assan?" Sasshi asked me about AKB Gakuen's top, Maeda Atsuko.
"No luck. Can't find her anywhere." I answered as I got up.
"So she's nowhere to be found, huh..." Mayu looked down, worriedly.

"Mayuyu, you've been acting awfully worried for the enemy, don't you think?" Rena asked, doubting the shorter girl.

Mayu glared at her "You have no right to say that to me. Whoever I like, it's the same with you." she criticized Rena about her love towards a certain person who shares the same last name as her.

Rena smirked and answered back "I guess you're right about that..."

   Sasshi clapped her hands and gathered our attention towards her.

"Okay okay, you two can be lovey-dovey some other time." Sasshi said and received the glares of both Mayu and Rena. I chuckled a bit at her joke. Sasshi can be funny when she needs to. "Right now, all we need to focus on is to grab Assan's attention to launch her counter-attack."

   Sasshi made a point there but I just smirked and sat back on the seat.

"Sasshi, I agree with you, but I think we only have to wait. If Maeda is really like me, she might have certain problems going around her. She might be trying to solve that problem right now. When she's finished, I'm sure she'll come for the attack." I commented and grinned evilly, thinking of the fun I might be having once Maeda makes her move.

"Heh." Sasshi smirked as well. "I guess you're right."

   Mayu and Rena also smiled as they were more close to Maeda. I'm pretty sure they can't wait either.

"But..." Rena opened her mouth. "I wonder what Maeda-senpai is thinking..."

   Even though Rena has cut all ties with Maeda, she and even Mayu still calls Maeda with the '-senpai' honorific. It just shows how much she still respect her. I don't think it's a bad thing. What they think of Maeda isn't any of my business. I'm starting to get curious of how Maeda got their respects.

"Who knows..." I answered and looked out of the window. "Maybe she's having a hard time between a rock and a hard place"

[End of Shimazaki Haruka's POV]
======

"Hahahahaha~" Maeda rolled around, still, hugging the bear as the others sat down, bored of being ignored by the Ace.

"Ehem ehem!" Takahashi faked coughed and got the attention of Maeda.

   Maeda finally realized that the others were still with her and stood with the bear, making it stood up also.

"This is Kuma~ He's like a father to me~" She introduced them to the bear and the bear looked at them.

"H- Hello Kuma..." Kojima greeted the bear....

"Wait, what do you mean it's like a father to you?" Jurina asked Maeda, surprised.

"Ah, that..." Maeda explained. "I was actually an orphan and was left here in the forest. Kuma and Tora raised me since I was a kid. Tora passed away when I was 13, though... He taught me to hunt and live, while Kuma protected me against everything around me."

"Wait..." Takahashi halted Maeda's story. "Was 'Tora' a taiga?" she asked.

"Huh? Yeah, Tora's a tiger." Maeda answered.

"Oooh!" Oshima raised her hand. "Did you go around naked while you were a child?!"

Everyone facepalmed.

"Errr... No... I was wearing the clothes I stole from other people. Wait, I'm not as stupid when I'm a kid. I'm not some jungle girl, you know." Maeda defended, though the other girls doubted it.

   The bored Kuma climbed up and leaned itself onto Meada's back, though the girl didn't feel anything from the almost 200 kilo bear.

"... Maeda-senpai, don't you feel kinda heavy?" Kashiwagi asked the question most of them wanted to ask.

"Hm? No? Why?" Maeda and Kuma were both clueless as to why Kashiwagi would ask that. Yes, Kuma knows human language thanks to all the years it's been spending with Maeda.

"No reason..."

======

   After separating from Kuma and Maeda crying, wanting to hug the bear more, and the others dragging her away, they finally came back to the cave, and it was already around 4 p.m.

"Wait a sec," Jurina halted her movements as they were going to wash their clothes in a nearby river, near a lake and the others trying to fit themselves in Maeda's clothes. "Do you know how to make a baby?" Jurina asked Maeda.

Maeda's face quickly became red as she hits the younger girl in the noggin. "Of course I know!"

"But didn't senpai say that you've been with the animals since childhood?" Jurina asked again to confirm.

"Yeah, why?" Maeda answered, still not catching on.

"Then where did you learn that...?" Jurina finally asked and the others realized the meaning.

"Oh, that... Tomo taught me."

======

"So... why the hell are you three clinging to me... And Minami, get off." Maeda voiced out her dissatisfaction to the three girls.

   Oshima was clinging on Maeda's left while Jurina was clinging on Maeda's right. Takahashi was clinging on top of the girl. They rarely does that but thanks to Maeda's spur of the moment honesty, saying Itano taught her... improper... things, they felt a surge of jealousy which led to them being overly too clingy towards their crush.

"Who cares~ It's cold~" Oshima fake shivered and clung to the girl tighter.
"Yup~ Maeda-senpai's warm~" Jurina agreed and also tightened her hug.
"Acchan... Chest... Warm..." Takahashi, whose face is in between the girl's... watermelons... was in heaven. Though she was struck back to reality by the smacks of all three of them.

   Maeda wasn't uncomfortable of the situation since she knew that the three were clinging to her far more than usual. She knew of their feelings but she doesn't know what to do with them. She still didn't give up on Watanabe, but she also doesn't want to hurt the three of them.

"We'll strike tomorrow. Make sure you all get enough sleep." Maeda decided and told not only the three, but also the others, all of them, who were listening in and Shinoda who was taking pictures.

"Roger!"
======
[Watanabe Mayu's POV]

   I looked at the foolish fights the yakuza was having with each other, shooting at absolutely nothing as they mocked each other and insults were thrown. The yakuza and yankees weren't much different than each other. They get into stupid fights, they hurt each other, they beat people up... And... They protect.

   The fight they were having couldn't even be compared to the beautiful movements I saw when I first met Maeda-senpai. She was moving gracefully, without even putting her mind into it. She was really beautiful. I was awestruck when I saw her. I couldn't even move back then. It became worse when I saw her full-strength fight with Yuko. She was really full of vigor, while still immovable from her spot.

   When you compare the Maeda-senpai and these useless yakuza, it's like night and day. But there's one thing that they have that senpai doesn't...

   A loss...

   Maeda-senpai has never lost in any fight. She was the strongest. Even though Yuko was her rival, Yuko's strength couldn't even be compared to senpai's. Senpai needs someone to show her defeat. Someone to show her the true light within the darkness. Someone, or some people.

   That's how I met Paruru. Her aura was similar to that of senpai's. That's when I thought... I could use her...

'I'm sure you're planning something, but if I can get to fight someone as strong as me, then I don't mind it one bit'

   She already found out the moment I made my move. Paruru may look airheaded like NyanNyan, but she's like Maeda-senpai. She's very perceptive of her surroundings, though she doesn't show it.

   That's why I'm... teaming up... with Paruru and Mirai Gakuen. So I could help Maeda-senpai find that 'light'. A rival. To show her she's not alone in this world... And to show her just how much the others want her to find that rival as well.

   I even had to stab her in the stomach. I didn't worry, though. Because I know of senpai's strength. I believed that something as simple as that won't kill her. Thankfully, my guess was right. If senpai was in critical condition, Yuko and Jurina would've stormed into Mirai Gakuen by now. Even Takamina would lose her mind and start to kill.

   I feel really sorry, but I don't have a choice. To defeat her, I have to play dirty.

"Hey, Nezumi. The gang's all up for it. We'll follow you to the depths of hell." A woman came to me and told me the preparations are done.

   She's with the yakuza I saw just now. It seems they made a truce. So that means everything's going according to plan.

"Yankees and the Yakuza... Ganging up to defeat one girl... Pitiful, I'd say." I commented and walked away. "Though...

If that's how I'm gonna make senpai happy...

So be it."

[To be continued]

   Kinda expected, huh? Well, cliche storyline's cliche XD I don't wanna make Mayu into a bad girl... But I hope Acchan would set Mayuyu's mind back to her usual self. I miss cutesy Mayuyu Q.Q

kenjoy, chill~ I was just jokin~ XD Yeah, she should've chosen another route but she chose this route because she wants to see Atsuko's full vigorous fight. She wants to see Atsuko giving her 100%.

   I was gonna be like, BAM! BOOM and KABOOOOOOSH!!! but sadly, this isn't a superpower fic~ How about I make Acchan OP and have powers like Momoyo of MajiKoi??? Okay, that's just stupid... SO~ Let's just see what the remaining Kami8 would do.

[This chapter has multiple parts, and will contain the real pairings in which each character would be in. Be warned that this chapter might make my ship sink to the bottom of the sea due to the cannonballs every other ship is going to shoot. Proceed only if unusual pairings are okay for your heart.]

[Chapter 13] A

   Each member of Mirai Gakuen's top are gathered inside the small room which was left by AKB Gakuen's top. The library was in deserted state which could only be explained by the top's neglect of the empty room. The table was all gone and the bookshelf was destroyed. All that was left was one chair. A certain chair in which brings shivers to them. The school's Ace looked at the chair, sweating, as she felt that the chair itself stood on it's own. As if the chair was fighting, letting out an aura of magnificence as they all looked at it. The school's Ace, Shimazaki Haruka, gulped and went forward, getting closer to the chair with each step, but as she got closer, she felt herself getting pushed down by an unknown pressure. She tried to withstand it but the pressure was too heavy for her alone. She looked at the chair again as she was petrified by just the presence of the chair.

"What is this... pressure...?" she asked herself.

   The others only looked at both the chair and the Ace in amazement. That is until a certain figure entered. The girl looked at the state Shimazaki was in and went forward. She then patted her shoulder as she shook her head, telling her to not do anything foolish. Shimazaki nodded reluctantly as she retreated back to her fellow friends, still sweating heavily.

"You okay...?" Shimazaki's closest aide, Yokoyama Yui asked as she looked at her friend in awe, amazed by the bravery she showed.

   Shimazaki let out a silent nod then she opened the door. Everyone else left as she told them to, but as Shimazaki looked behind once, she saw a chair, but when she looked back yet another time, she saw an image that couldn't be laughed off as a mere illusion. A girl stood on the chair and watched the scenery outside. An image of brilliance. The beauty itself could be mistaken for a painting of some sort, but that wasn't the case. The girl looked at her through her black shoulder-length hair and smirked.

   Shimazaki was paralyzed. She looked at the bloodthirsty eyes of the girl. The girl's eyes weren't physically scary, but just the look in the eyes could turn the whole room temperature at it's peak. The room became hotter, Shimazaki couldn't breathe, air barely escaping her lungs as she struggled to even stand. Her eyes were watery as her very heartbeat getting faster, beating in a way that could be described as the galloping of a horse. She wanted to vomit there and then, but she couldn't those eyes won't let her.

"Paruru?" she heard a voice and fingers touched her hair, bringing her back to reality, which was looking at an empty chair in a desolated room.

   She looked back to see Yokoyama looking at her worriedly due to her not coming with them. Shimazaki hugged the older girl in fear as she let out unknowing tears, afraid of what she just saw. Her breathing became ragged and her whole weight dropped on the poor girl. Yokoyama, surprised to see her friend in such a way, fell down with her. They dropped to the ground, Shimazaki on top of her, crying her eyes out for no apparent reason to her. Yokoyama reluctantly patted her head and soothed her, giving her the warmth that she needed. Even though she didn't know what happened, but just seeing the sad state her friend was in, she couldn't help but be worried of it. And she couldn't neglect her in any way possible.

"We were supposed to go to clean up this school, but why the hell are you two hugging each other so affectionately for?" a girl voiced out, seeing the creepy scene of the Ace crying and hugging her best friend.

"I- It's not like that, Saya-nee!" Yokoyama half-shouted as her face became bright red.

"Yeah, right, whatever." Milky rolled her eyes as she nudged Yamamoto to look at the defeated Sashihara that was holing up in the corner.

"What's wrong with her?" The younger Watanabe asked as she looked at Sashihara in pity.

"Well, she came when Paruru was rubbing her face in Yui's breasts." Rena answered.

"Seriously?" Mayu facepalmed and dragged the pitiful girl away who was mumbling 'Yui' in each breath.

======

   Shimazaki sighed as she slumped back to her seat. They were in AKB Gakuen's gymnasium. They couldn't use the library for unknown reasons so they decided that the gym was big enough to fit everyone. She looked at the people around her. Some were big muscular men, some were thin with tuxedos, and some were wearing coats. There were also a few Mirai Gakuen students who survived the war but not many. The AKB Gakuen students already gave in and were sent to the hospital by Shimazaki's hands. She took a breath and glared at the men.

   The pressure inside the whole gymnasium was getting heavier and the room temperature was slightly getting higher. Some were sweating and others were shaking out of fear as they looked at the girl's eyes.

"For what reason are you all here?" she asked them, slightly threatening then they all took at least one step back.

"W- We were called here by Nezumi!" a girl said and the others nodded, more like they were forced to.

'Nezumi...?' Shimazaki thought and looked at Mayu, who was only yawned as she looked at the scene in front of her. When Mayu realized the stare of Shimazaki, she quickly smiled in a way which made the girl sigh.

"And for what purpose was that for...?" Shimazaki looked at Mayu again and asked.

Mayu smirked and walked towards the Ace. She showed a deceiving smile as she walked closer, each step causing the slightly younger girl to doubt her assumed ally's trust. She stopped as she was only one step away from the Ace and finally answered, not letting the smile go "For the fight against Maeda."

Shimazaki could've sworn that Mayu was going to add another sentence in the end, and that the girl was forcing herself to call her most respected senior with only her last name, but she shoved it off as a facade. "She's still not found and you're gathering them here just for backup?"

After a few seconds of silence after the younger one's forced question, Mayu backed away but answered nonetheless. "We need all we have to face the Untouchable Queen. And..." she stopped and looked behind, smirking at the younger girl "Her attack... is today."

   Just when Shimazaki's eyes shot open as she tries to come up with a strategy and escape routes to get away from the older girl, some Mirai Gakuen student came in. She heard the bad news and quickly stormed out. What was once there, a few hundred yankees and a couple of yakuza families were now lying on the cold ground, and some struggling in pain.

"Haruka, was it?" a lone girl stood there as she looked at Shimazaki in a way which reminded her of only a few hours ago. Shimazaki was petrified yet again by the gaze of the girl. But...

She smiled. For what reason did she smile? Was it because of a new respect she has for the older girl? Was it because she has found someone worthy of fighting her? Was it because of any of these reasons? Nobody knows... But nevertheless, Shimazaki smiled.

"Atsuko..." she knew she was being impolite, but for some reason, she used her first name. Maeda smiled in response.

"I'll be going ahead." another girl came from behind Maeda and Maeda nodded, telling her to do as she please. The girl smirked and ran to the inside of the school.

Shimazaki didn't mind. No, she didn't even care. The person in front of her meant more than anything. The person who caused her into a state of fear, depression, madness and insecurity. The girl, Maeda Atsuko took the first step.

Post by: AshuraX on September 13, 2013, 05:40:13 PM
[Part B has a different timeline, and happened before the others. Be advised that The two Aces aren't the real pairings]

[Chapter 13] B

   A few figures looked at the scene in front of them. A few hundred full-grown men were busy fighting with each other, and making noises that nobody would dare to listen to. The Ace sighed at the foolish scene and the others laughed a bit, thinking of how the men were more childish than even them.

"Acchan, are you sure we're supposed to go through every one of these 'grown-ups'?" Takahashi asked the Ace who only nodded, making the others sigh.
"Man, that's such a pain. Can't we just fly over?!" Miyazawa asked the impossible.
"If you can fly." Akimoto huffed.
"Acchan can fly, though." Oshima joined.
"No, she can't!" Kojima hits the older girl's head.
"Who knows. Acchan's superhuman, you know." Shinoda added.
"Fly, Maeda-senpai!" Kashiwagi nudged the Ace, who smiled wryly.
"You know that it's impossible even for me..." The Ace chuckled and looked at Jurina who came running from the horde of hungry men. "Status?" The Ace asked.
"They're here for the fight with Maeda Atsuko." Jurina reported.

   They all slumped back and thought of any other ways to get through. The men were watching them, waiting every second. They didn't dare make a move because they knew the terror of Maeda Atsuko. And because there were the whole Kami8, (they thought Jurina was one) it petrified them more. Maeda looked at her friends once she thought of a plan.

"The route." she stated the plan.
"Ah! You mean the route of the forest you usually take to go to the library?!" Takahashi caught on.
"So we'll use that route to get past them!" Oshima also got it.
"But then they'll follow us. Not to mention it's easy for them to intercept." Akimoto stated. She doesn't only has brawn but also brains.
"Ah, Sayaka's right..." Miyazawa slumped back.
"So one of us have to take care of the place here while Maeda-senpai and the others use the route." Kashiwagi said the solution.
"But who???" Clueless Kojima was clueless.
Maeda sighed.

"All of you will go use the route." Maeda stated, not allowing any of them to interrupt. "Yuki knows the route well since she uses it too, so she'll lead all of you there."

"No, thanks, Acchan. Leaving you here alone with these... buffoons? I don't think so." Takahashi disagreed.
"There's no other way, Takamina. I don't want any of you to get hurt and even possibly hospitalized." Maeda kept on standing on her high horse.
"And you think you won't?!" Takahashi lost it.
"Yup~" There it was. The goofy smile she always had. The smile they loved. The smile which was with them ever since the Kami8's birth. The smile which introduces a light in the darkness.

"But you were supposed to be the one to find Mayuyu..." Takahashi felt dejected for some reason.
"Yes... But that's why I want you all to find her for me. Bring her to me."
"You can do it yourself, can't you?!"
"Takamina..." Maeda still smiled as she patted the girl's head. "I trust you more than anyone. I want to find her as quick as possible. That's why I'm asking all of you for help. Without you guys, I'm nothing..."

"But..." Takahashi was about to talk back, that was until Shinoda placed a hand on her shoulder then shaking her head.
"You know more than us of how stubborn Acchan can be." she advices the girl.
"Once she sets her mind on it, she'll do it." Miyazawa sighed but then smiled.
"But..." Kojima also smiled.
"That stubbornness has never failed us once." A smile a appeared on everyone's lips as Kashiwagi continued.

   Takahashi had no choice but to step down and let the Ace do what she wants. The stubborn and childish side of Maeda Atsuko was her sole weakness. That and the Ace's body.

"We'll be going ahead. Don't die on me." Takahashi said as she and the others ran away towards the secret path.

   Maeda looked at the retreating backs of each of her members. Oshima stopped for a while to look back and see Maeda one last time. Maeda smiled at her and nudged her to continue. The shorter girl sighed and continued her retreat.

"Now..." Maeda took a deep breath and looked at the men, all ready for war. "Shall we dance?"

======

   One by one, each one of them were beaten by the crazily insane movements of the Untouchable Queen. At first they were owning because they have guns, but that was until Maeda finished off a Yakuza underling and acquired her own. Like dominos, they fell and was beaten single-handedly. After a few minutes and almost half of the men defeated, Maeda was finally showing signs of fatigue. It was almost impossible for her to just go on and fight hundreds of Yakuza on her own without killing them. She knows that the most. She couldn't kill, because that was the promise she had with Itano Tomomi. She will not kill. As she slammed one man's head onto one of his own kind, she remembered of what happened with the last Massacre she had at a Yakuza's hideout.

   She was afraid... Afraid of what might happen if any of them was hurt like Itano and Minegishi. She didn't want any of them to become like her close friends. Maeda knows it best. She'll even sacrifice herself. She also knew that Takahashi will eventually bring Watanabe down the right track. That was the real reason she wanted to be left alone. She wants to fight to the fullest against the hundred men around her.

   A body was then flown right next to her. She was shocked that a man was knocked back so far but it wasn't her that caused it. She looked at the one who made the man like that. A smile escaped her lips.

"Yo." the girl smiled as she greeted Maeda.
"Yuko..." she doesn't need any explanation.

   Why was she there? Why didn't she go with Minami? She didn't need to ask any of these questions. She knew the reason. She knew it more than anyone. She knew Oshima for so long. She was her rival and best friend. The one she would willingly lend her back to.

"Stand by me." she ordered the shorter girl, as if used to it. She knew the girl was chuckling behind her from the movements she did as the two stood back-to-back.
"By your will."

======
[Takahashi Minami's POV]

   I sighed as I looked at the sad state the library was in. It was empty. All that's left were broken pieces of wood. And also... The chair... The chair in which Atsuko always stood in. The chair of the Ace. Who knew that it was the only thing still standing. We were surprised and happy at the same time. The chair's just as strong as it's owner.

"You did great..." for some reason, Yuki walked towards the chair and patted the seat. It didn't look weird at all. We knew of the fight the Chair must have went through.

"Okay, here's the plan." I gathered everyone. "Sayaka's with Harunyan, Sae's with Jurina, Mariko-sama's with Yuko, and Yukirin's with me." I said, but was stopped by Harunyan.

"Yuu-chan's not here, though." she said.

   I looked around and just like she said, no squirrel around. "WHAT THE HELL?!" I shouted, not caring if anybody heard us. I mean, seriously! What the hell is that squirrel doing at a time like this?!

"Seems like she went to Acchan's aide." Sae says.

"Ah..." I literally took back what I said before. IF Yuko's with Acchan, then I don't need to be so worried anymore. "Then-"

"I'll be going solo, thank you very much." Mariko-sama lifted her hand as she yawned.

"Eh? Are you sure?" I asked, and she smiled warmly.

"Don't worry. I'm going to be fine." she says but then her smile... "Coz I can't wait to pay back that little Kyoto girl for what she did to Nyaro~" ... became sadistic...

"I- I see..." I smiled wryly, feeling for the poor girl Mariko-sama was going to torture... "Then... each of us will search every nook and corner for her. Split up and defeat any enemy you see. Don't dilly dally much, since Acchan's going to be finished with her fight in just a couple of minutes. You have that many time limit to take care of every obstacle in this building, understood?!"

"ROGER!"

"Then, DISMISSED!"

[Chapter 13] C
Miyazawa Sae's POV

"Jurina, right!" I warned her and she immediately blocked the fist that was coming from her right then she kicked the sides of the girl.

   There were about 7 girls around us. Some were holding bats and some were just trying to punch us. We managed to dodge every single strike that came to us and then finally, all of the girls around us were beaten and laid on the ground. I sighed and patted Jurina's head for her hard work, since that was what Atsuko would usually do.

"You okay, there?" I asked and she returned me with a wide smile.
"Heh. This is nothing~" she said calmly and stuck out her chest with pride.

   I chuckled at the adorable scene Jurina just did and looked at the ends of the hallway to see nobody. We were in the first floor which was supposed to be the busiest floor in the school. It's probably because we managed to beat every single one of their underlings the last time we were here. I opened up a locker, my locker, and took out a smoke grenade as Jurina looked at me in surprise.

"Whoa! Cool! Where'd you get it?!' Jurina obviously had this sparkle in her eyes as she looked at the grenade. I then put the grenade in my pocket
"Ah, Atsuko gave this to me as a souvenir from her trip in some yakuza's hideout." I said and then closed my locker.
"No fair! I want one too!" she swung her arms around, throwing a tantrum.
"Ask Atsuko, not me." I said plainly and then something caught my mind.

   There was the ominous aura from somewhere and as I looked outside, I saw that all of the yakuza and yankees were beaten up. And standing on top of their pile of fainted bodies was Atsuko and Yuko behind. Yuko then left, leaving Atsuko to look at someone. I can't make out who the person was, but for some reason I think that her aura was the same as Atsuko...

"This is going to turn ugly." Jurina said as we looked at the situation.
"Huh? What do you mean?" I asked, confused by Jurina's comment.
"Paruru's not as strong as Maeda-senpai but she has something that Maeda-senpai doesn't." she said.
"And that is?"
"The will to not lose."
"Huh?" I was still confused and Jurina sighed.
"Imagine Yuko's spirit and fighting power and Rena's insanity." she said and I flinched as I thought of the two combinations. "And Paruru's stronger than that."

   I gritted my teeth. I never knew that Mirai's Ace could be that strong. Not to mention Atsuko had never tasted defeat before, so she obviously doesn't know of how to avoid it. If this 'Paruru' person's strength is like Yuko, then it's obvious that she could be on par with Atsuko and if she's as insane as Rena, then it doesn't matter how many times Atsuko hits her. She would get back up and return it tenfold.

"I thought I heard my name here."

   Sweat dropped down my back as the sudden voice was heard behind me. I knew the voice too well to just think of it as just somebody roaming around. I quickly ducked and rolled sideways, realizing that the ominous aura coming from the girl was directed straight at me. The window I was looking through broke as I dodged and Jurina managed to escape as well.

"Rena!" I shouted her name as I looked at the lone figure in front of me.

   The girl wasn't looking at me. She was looking at another person. She was looking at the one who shared the same name as hers. She looked at the one she trusted the most.

"Jurina..." she said, looking dissatisfied.

   I could see that Jurina was scared for her life, probably even planning her escape route inside her head. I don't know why but I couldn't move at all. I just looked at the two's exchange.

"Come here, Jurina..." she said, gesturing Jurina to come over to her.
"..." Jurina was gritting her teeth, glaring at Rena in a way which caused her to laugh "... I won't, Rena."

   The air suddenly turned heavy for some reason. I couldn't breathe at all. The sudden pressure around Rena was heavy. I looked at her back. Her back seemed so lonely, so sad, so... frightened.

"So be it." was her response.

======
General POV

   In an instant, Miyazawa had leaped forward to Rena and tried to punch her using the pressure of her jump to double the damage, but Rena managed to avoid it by simply shifting her movements backwards and took some steps behind her. Miyazawa missed and attempted to use her hind legs and swung it at Rena's direction, but the girl blocked it with her palm and pulled Miyazawa's leg. After that, without the older girl managing to react, Rena had used the momentum from her pull to strike Miyazawa straight at her stomach, using her elbow. Miyazawa coughed and was struggling on the ground, clutching her stomach.

"Sae!" Jurina shouted and went forward to face her enemy with the same last name.

   Rena glared at the younger girl and Jurina flinched but went forward nonetheless. Jurina slid down and tackled Rena's leg. Surprised, Rena fell to the floor, using her hand as support and kicked Jurina in the shoulder. Jurina took in the pain but with Rena on the floor lying on her front, she went on top of the older girl and grabbed the girl's hand, forcing it behind the girl's back as she also used her free hand to lock Rena's head in a headlock. She also used her leg to bind the older girl's leg so that she couldn't move her leg nor kick with it.

   In that situation, Rena writhed in pain and searched for an escape. Using her free hand that wasn't bind, she grabbed Miyazawa's leg and hauled the surprised girl to her back, causing Jurina to let go of her lock and save Miyazawa from further pain. Rena escaped and distanced herself from the two.

"You're still sane, Rena?" Miyazawa asked, smiling even though she was badly beaten, as she leaned on the support of Jurina.
"Probably." Rena answered, not smiling but just glaring still at Jurina.
"I see...' Miyazawa's smile faded and she got up. "Jurina..." she called to the younger girl. "Go to Atsuko's aide." Miyazawa ordered.
"WHAT?!" Jurina was shocked. Even Rena was.

   One reason was because Miyazawa is a lot more weaker than Rena was and the other being Atsuko can handle everything herself. Why would Miyzawa go so far as to let Jurina go and face Rena by herself? Jurina couldn't find the answer to that question and she didn't dare to try and find out.

"No! You know yourself that you alone can't beat Rena!" Jurina shouted, trying to change her upperclassman's mind.
"Please, Jurina."

   One word from Miyazawa was what it took for Jurina's resolve to completely crumble into absolute nothingness. It wasn't actually what Miyazawa had said, much to how she said it. The way she said it. For some reason, Jurina found that Miyazawa's voice was more stern than usual, her back gave in an aura which could be described as a soldier going to war. Miyazawa was prepared for the consequences.

   Jurina gritted her teeth, still wasn't satisfied, but she took Maeda into a more higher priority. She took a deep breath and then turned around from the two.

"Roger..." she said and then ran away.

   Jurina retreated, running to help the one she loves the most with her mind set that Miyazawa knows what she was doing.

   Once the figure of Jurina could not be seen anymore by Rena, she opened her mouth.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" she asked, almost as if ordering the answer out of the one who tried to save her a few days prior. Miyazawa sighed but didn't took her fighting stance. She only looked straight into Rena's eyes, which caused the girl to feel sick to her bones.

"Probably something stupid that could literally get me killed by Sayaka." Miyazawa answered smiling as she took a few steps closer to Rena, shortening their distance.

   Realizing this, Rena's eyes shot open and she took the first move to dash forward and hit Miyazawa right in the stomach which was still hurting. The pain was evident in Miyazawa's face but she endured it and grabbed Rena's hand, which was on her stomach, and pulled her to herself, squeezing the girl from behind her.

"What are you-" before Rena could mock the girl once more, she felt a soft sensation on her lips and her eyes opened wide.

   Miyazawa had kissed the girl right in the lips. Miyazawa's soft and wet lips was pressing on her own in a peck. Her mind went blank from the unknown sensation of being kissed by the older girl. She didn't fight back nor did she make any move. In a few seconds, she closed her eyes to enjoy the sensation Miyazawa had given her until they separated.

   It took a few more seconds after their lip's separation for Rena to finally figure out what just happened as she looked at Miyazawa whose cheeks were bright red from the embarrassment prior.

"W- Why did you just kiss me?!" Rena stuttered, covering her lips with her hands as she too, was red to her ears.

   Miyazawa scratched the back of her neck as she was feeling very awkward as to what she just did. She took in a deep breath and looked at Rena straight in the eyes. She then grabbed the girl's hand intertwining their hands together. Rena was shocked at first but then when she looked at Miyazawa who was serious, she couldn't fight back, only to follow in what Miyazawa was going to do.

"You can cry all you want, Rena."

   Out of all the perverted things Rena thought of, she didn't think that Miyazawa was going to hug her, which she did. Miyazawa embraced her in a tight hug as the older girl patted the younger's head, comforting her. Rena realized that she was crying. For what reason was she crying? She had already known. Not just her, Miyazawa had also realized it from watching Rena's exchange with Jurina. Rena was crying for her lost love.

"... Sorry..." was all she could say. Rena cried in the older girl's arms, finally letting out her real feelings to the one that had already chosen her destiny.

"I'll be here for you..." Miyazawa reassured, as she stroked the girl's silky black hair.

"... Always?" Rena asked, unsure. She didn't want to be left alone ever again. She was already fed up with the emotions and pain inside her chest that moment when she saw the back of the running Jurina. She wanted to make sure of it. She wanted the older girl to be by her side.

"Always. My 'seriousness' is for your sake." Miyazawa smiled and looked at Rena straight in her eyes.

"Haha, you're mad, you know that?" Rena showed a goofy smile as she thanked Miyazawa from the bottom of her heart.

[Chapter 13] D
Takahashi Minami's POV

"HORYA!!!!" I kicked the girl in front of me and grabbed the girl on my left.

   I then pulled her towards me and kicked her in the stomach. The girl writhes in pain and I kicked her in the sides, making her fall down. I looked at the status of my partner and she was doing fairly fine. The 3 girls surrounding her couldn't even get close, due to the aura that she had released. When they were busy, I took the chance and ran towards one of the yankee's back and kicked her legs. When she was about to fall down, I grabbed her shoulder and tossed her to another girl, making them both fall and fainted. Which leaves only one girl left. We both grinned and the girl flinched, thus ran away from us, for she was too scared of what could come. I laughed at the sight with my partner.

"Man, that was easy, huh, Yuki?" I asked her and she chuckled.
"Yup, Takamina-san. Seems like we've cleared the area for now and there's probably no way that girl would come back here again." she said and smirked.
"True that." I agreed and we both took the 'lifeless'(?) bodies and hauled them over to a nearby classroom.

   I dusted off my hands and clothes from the fight since we were moving around too much. I fixed my clothes, same with Yuki and we sat on the teacher's desk, since we've already cleared the area. The only thing we needed to do was to wait for Atsuko's arrival.

"Hey, Takamina-san." Yuki asked me as we sat next to each other.
"What is it~?" I smiled and looked at her, causing her to blush a bit.
"Urm, Takamina-san, you're too close." she averted her eyes and I blushed as well.
"Haha, sorry. My bad~" I distanced myself from her and smiled wryly.

   Then suddenly came the awkward moment for us. It took us a few minutes to get over this awkwardness but just as I was opening my mouth to break the silence, someone else broke it.

"Your nose hair is showing!"

   Yuki and I were taken aback by the voice that said that. We looked around to see nobody, so it's probably from the outside.

"What the hell was that?" I asked, still dumbfounded.
"Don't know. But it sounds like... Sayaka?" she said.
"Yeah. Sounds like her but..." I stopped as I thought about it.
"Yeah... Sayaka's usually too level-headed to be saying that." Yuki smiled wryly.

   Just thinking about it, Sayaka's cool and always think before she says anything, but seriously? Nose hair? Why the hell would she shout that in the middle of nowhere making everyone hear? That's kinda too much for her.

"Could it be Haru-Nyan?" I asked again.
"Ah. Haruna seems too airheaded to notice these things so it's probable." Yuki shared her thoughts.
"But was it necessary for Sayaka to shout that out loud???" I asked again.
"That, I don't know. But Sayaka's kinda funny so she thinks about the most random things." Yuki chuckled.

   Seeing Yuki chuckle so sweetly and innocently, I couldn't help but smile. The awkward moment was gone thanks to Sayaka. I thanked her in my heart for creating this comfortable atmosphere, even though she shouted nose hair. Poor anyone who's near her. I then looked at the window to see the scenery that was a bit too discomforting.

"Seems like Atsuko did her part already." I said as I looked at the fainted bodies lying around outside on the ground.
"Seems so." Yuki said, and followed by a chuckle.
"I hope she's fine..." I said unconsciously and smiled a bit.

   For some reason, Yuki's laugh stopped and then came a discomforting silence. I gulped and looked behind me to see Yuki was looking downwards and I couldn't see her well. Sadness was what I thought when I saw her. He long black silky raven hair covering her eyes and I couldn't see it well, but it's sad. My hand moved instinctively forward to touch the younger girl's face.

"T- Takamina-san!" Yuki's voice was louder than usual and I flinched from that, retracting my hand back to it's former position, by my side, out of reflex.
"Y- Yeah?!" I asked, my face becoming hot because of the embarrassment, thinking about why I almost did that.

   She didn't lift her head, only looking down to the floor.

"D- Do you still like Maeda-senpai?" she asked the question.

   My eyes shot open as I heard the question from her. I still like Atsuko, but why would she ask that? It's obvious what my answer was going to be.

"Of course I-" "Be honest, senpai!"

   As I was about to answer, she interrupted me and finally lifted her head. She glared at me straight in the eyes. Her eyes were bloodshot. She wanted the answer out of me even if it was obvious. Her face was closer than usual and my heart skipped a beat. Like a galloping horse, my heart raced in it's track, it was so loud that I think that even Yuki could hear it's sound. I gulped, my cheeks burning red and I averted my eyes, for her eyes, her big black orbs, tried to suck my entire soul into it.

"W- What are you even t- alking about, Yuki?" my voice was clearly cracking up, and I managed to stutter a bit.

   She bit her lips, eyes still gazing into my soul even though I've averted my gaze from hers. She took a breather to get ready and leaned closer to me. She then opened her mouth.

"T- Takamina-san, I-" before Yuki could finish her sentence, I saw someone near the door and I quickly put my hand on her mouth, covering it and pushed her to the wall slowly, eyes glaring at the door.

"Who's there?!" I shouted, then commanded them to come inside.

   The figure entered, and I saw a girl.

"My name's Watanabe Miyuki. I see you two made use of the room to be lovey-dovey with each other." the girl says as she entered.
"W- We are not being lovey-dovey!" I protested, but was acting otherwise.

   Then I looked at Yuki who was red to her ears, eyes opened wide and still my hand was on her mouth. I quickly retracted and fell head first down to the floor.

"Ouch!" I grunted and cupped my head with my hands due to the dull pain.
"Whoa, that's gotta hurt a lot." Watanabe snickered.
"Y- You okay, Takamina-san?" Yuki asked worriedly.
"Kinda..." I commented and got up.

   I then looked at Watanabe and just when I was about to dash forward, Yuki got in the way and stopped me.

"Takamina-san, let me fight." Yuki told me.
"Huh? You said that you couldn't beat her last time." I said, worried that she might get hurt.
"It's okay... I have confidence this time." Yuki declared.

   Watanabe smirked and watched us. I looked at her and then at Yuki. After a few seconds of thinking, I then sighed, telling her to do what she wants. Yuki smiled and thanked me.

"Yankees these days." I joked and sat back on the teacher's desk as Yuki got down to the floor.

   Watanabe was already on guard and eyed Yuki as Yuki took her stance. When Yuki was just about to move forward, Watanabe also dashed to Yuki, making Yuki flinch and dodge it, rather than continue her planned assault. Yuki then kicked Watanabe's legs but Watanabe didn't flinch. Watanbe did a headstand as she fell and kicked Yuki on her legs using the moment. Yuki fell back and covered the bruise that she had gotten.

"Yuki..." I gritted my teeth and clenched my fist, holding myself back from helping her.

   It continued on and on, and from my analysis, the two aren't that much far apart in sklls, but what made it different was that Watanabe was slightly faster than Yuki, using her height as an advantage to kick Yuki in the legs. Always the same spot. Making Yuki feel so hurt that the pain was evident on her face.

   My eyes were turning bloodshot as I looked at the cruel way Watanabe was treating her opponent and just when I was about to lose it and dash forward to help Yuki,

"Takamina-san!" Yuki shouted, not facing me and both me and Watanabe halted our actions.

   Yuki was breathing heavily, probably exhausted, since it's been a few minutes into the fight and her legs looked red in pain and covered with bruises. I listened intently for the next words from Yuki. She took a few more deep breathes and,

"I LOVE YOU!"

   My heart skipped a thousand beats when I listened to her confession and I blushed bright red. My eyes shot open as I looked at the back of the girl in front of me. She was taller than me but she looked so small, so alone. I could see that her ears were turning red. Biting my lips, I calmed down and

"But I love Atsuko, Yuki." I calmly said, but my voice stated otherwise. My voice was horse. Insecurity crept in at the most unneeded moment.
"I don't care!" she shouted, which made both Watanabe who was listening and me flinched. "If I win this match, I want you to go on a date with me! Just the two of us!" she shouted again, demanding.
"But I-" I was about to decline but Yuki didn't stop.
"Then i want you to take me out for dinner! I want you to hold my hands as we walk through the shopping district" her voice was sounding more quieter "And I want to make you dinner. And you'll say that it tastes delicious, giving me a pat in the head for my hard work" from this point, I could see that she was scared but nonetheless continued "then finally, after all my good work, I want you to kiss me. A peck on the lips will do. Just... I want you to love me as well."

   Watanabe was shocked but then looked at me as well. She had a warm smile as she watched us and I also couldn't help but smile as well. Her confession was shocking, but for some reason, I feel happy.

"Then win." I commanded, smiling like a fool to the person in front of me. "And I'll do as you wish."

   Yuki's back seemed more confident as I said that and I knew that she was smiling as well.

"Just so you know, I'm not really much of fan in romance so don't expect me to lose willingly." Watanabe smirked and took her stance yet again.
"I know. Let's fight fair and square." Yuki said, smiling.
"Your move." Watanabe said and Yuki ran towards her.

======
General POV

   Kashiwagi ran to Milky and just a few centimeters apart from her, Yuki punched the girl lightly, earning a confused stare of one Takahashi Minami.

"Argh! I'm hurt! The irony!!!" Milky said, almost fake as she fell down to the floor, dramatically with a few coughs and mumbles.
"EH?!" The confused Takahashi could only question herself of what had happened.
"I have won!" Kashiwagi pumped her fist to the air and laughed maniacally.
"*Dead*" Milky faked her death and then laid on the floor.

   Kashiwagi then skipped happily to the dumbfounded Takahashi. But then she realized it and she quickly faked hurt and clutched her knees as if in pain.

"Argh, I have won, but I'm still hurt, Takamina-san." Kashiwagi lied down on Takahashi's lap who was already sitting down on the floor.
"Eh?! Liar! It was obvious that you two set this up!" Takahashi shouted almost cutely as the younger girl snuggled on her lap.

======
[A few weeks prior on Mirai's attack]

"Wait, wait! Let's make a deal!" Milky pleaded before the older girl could make her finishing blow.
"Hm? And what of it?" Kashiwagi asked, interested all of a sudden, still not lowering her fist.
"I'll do anything you want if you spare me for now!" Milky negotiated.
"..." Kashiwagi thought for a second and then a face popped up in her mind, the face of her true crush. Not Watanabe Mayu who she took care of and thinks of her as her own daughter, and obviously not Miyazawa Sae who she had loved to play along with. She thought of a certain 148(.5) centimeter girl who she always adored, other than her respected senior, Maeda Atsuko. "I need you to do this..."


[End of Flashback]
======

"Hehe~ Date with Takamina-san~" Kashiwagi singsonged as she snuggled up to her senior more, pushing most of her weight to the older girl as she hugged the girl playfully.
"Urg..." Takahashi couldn't resist to pat the girl and scratched her scalp as one would do so to a pet cat and Kashiwagi meowed in response. "You're evil, you know that?"
"I get that a lot." Kashiwagi snorted and chuckled.

"Man, lovebirds these days." came the tease from Milky who was watching the two in excitement for she actually loves lovey dover romance things.

"You're incorrigible..." Takahashi commented "But..." she then gulped, mustering up her courage "I love you as well, Yuki." she placed a light kiss on the girl's lips.

   Blushing bright red this time around, Kashiwagi covered her blushed cheeks and reminded herself that this was only the beginning. Takahashi was also red and then as she looked at Kashiwagi, she chuckled, finding the girl the cutest. She thought that Yuki looked a lot like Atsuko and acted a lot like the Ace, but she shook it off from her head.

'Moving on, huh...' she thought as she placed another kiss on the girl.

   The number of seconds added together that the two kissed in that minute? 30.

[To be continued]

Author rant: Man, these two are so easy to ship~ And LoL poor Milky for having to see those two making out with each other. :lol:
