Chapter 23-2
When we came back to our room, they all, beside Maeda, has already singing along with some loud happy song and some food has already served on the table. And when we came inside with a serious look on our face, Black immediately turned the voice off. Yuko-san sat on one of the chair across from Maeda, Sado-san dropped her body gracefully on the chair beside Yuko-san and we, her Shitennou automatically stood near her, circling her. But because the room wasn’t as big as Rappapa`s room, actually all of us were stood near to each other, but one could clearly see the dividing line there.
Tomo moved to sit on the couch near me, and she tugged my hand. She gave me a half-questioning-half-worried look when I looked at her. I just pointed at Yuko-san as my answer. The room was on a complete silence for a while, which was strange, considering where we were. And after a while, Yuko-san said.
“A Police Officer came to meet the Headmaster earlier. And she called me, Maeda and Sado to meet the police as well, that’s why we’re late. And that police, Captain Takahashi, told us that one of Majijo`s student was found dead from overdose near the riverbank yesterday.” She paused for a while, letting her words sinks inside our mind. Several gasps and ‘what?!’ could be heard. I stared at her in shock. ‘Overdose? I could be too, if it’s not because of Yuko-san.’
“Who is it?” Youran asked her.
“I don’t know if you know her… but… she’s a junior, her name is….” Yuko-san said.
“Erena.” Maeda said with more distress look on her face. “Minami’s imouto.”
“Right.” Yuko-san said. “Captain Takahashi said that Erena’s parent reported that their daughter had been missing for a few weeks. And her death probably caused from overdose of drugs, from her condition Captain Takahashi suspected that she was kidnapped and used as a guinea pig by some drug dealer. And some Yakuza might be involved in it.” She looked straight at me when she said the Yakuza part. If my mind felt like overused during my prep-school, it was nothing like now.
“She said it was a new type of drug... I forgot the name… It’s starting to come out about more than two years ago. It was so strong that even after second time using it, the users were already addicted. And the effect was also as strong. You still can function like you usually are, but your mind is in heaven. Like nothing could go wrong. You’ll get stronger and you won’t feel any pain. But when you’re not using it, it would feel like there’s fire in your vein, like being skinned alive and your head would feel like it will explode.”
“Wait…” I cut her. “That description was just like…” I stopped in mid-sentence, remembering that there’re others around us. ‘that drug was just like the one I had before…’
Yuko-san looked at me for a while with an unreadable expression on her face. From the corner of my eyes, I saw Tomo frowned and I felt the hold on my hand tighten a bit.
“By some unwise decision made by someone, I had some of the drug with similar effect like the one Captain Takahashi said had killed Erena.” Like before a series of gasps interrupted her, but my “what?!” must have been the loudest. She huffed in irritancies and said, “no more interruption until I finished.” She glared at us and when our silence greets her, she begun talking again. “Especially from that certain unwise, stupid, reckless someone that bought the drugs in the first place.” She quickly added after she saw me opened my mouth, made the rest of her Rappapa smirked towards me discreetly, while the other looked at her questioningly.
“Alright… so, we decided that this Captain can be trusted, and after we discussed it, I decided to give the drug to Captain Takahashi. And I told her about the similarities. She said she’ll take it to the lab to check whether if it was from the same roots or not.” She then looked at us seriously.
“But we don’t know anything about this Captain…” Black said.
“I know…. But I have a hunch that she can be trusted.” Yuko-san said. “And beside, she is shorter than me.” She grinned, made a series of face-palmed greeted her. ‘Seriously? Of all reason to trust someone, she trusted that police because she was shorter than her?’
“if Erena was truly killed by those jerks, I will kill them all and make them regret from being born.” Maeda hissed slowly with a dark aura surrounding her. I don’t know who this Erena is, but it seemed like she was related to Maeda somehow.
“Don’t act rashly.” Yuko-san said with a straight face. “Things has gone far from just a yankee`s school fights. Police and the Yakuza are involved in this matter. If, IF, you see something strange or unusual, inform each other and me. Don’t act on your own. The police are currently watching all the highest gang on every school. They think the drug dealer might be related to one of the gang, not just Yakuza.” She combed her hair with one hand. “I don’t want any of you get involved in this mess without we know exactly where we stand. Understand?” She looked at us one by one as we gave our answer. “Good. I want you all to remember, even though we’re yankee, when we have a police record, our life are pretty much over, as Captain Takahashi would’ve said.” She added bitterly.
“Yuko-san…” I said slowly, “this Captain…”, unsure of what to say, but I truly think we can trust someone that easy, especially a police.
“The Headmaster said she was an ex Majijo too. The last Sachou of Rappapa before me.” Yuko-san said, knowing what’s on my mind.
“She was?” Torigoya asked with eyes wide open.
“She graduated about six years ago.” Sado-san said. “And after that no one could maintain Rappapa`s legacy, and it’s started to fall to the dust.”
“And we managed to bring it to life once again. Ah, well, let’s get back to Karaoke.” Yuko-san clasped her hand and smirked. “Now, give me the mike,” she grabbed the mike Shaku gave her and set the song in the karaoke machine. When the song`s title ‘Melodies’ was displayed on the screen, she grabbed Torigoya`s hand and handed one of the mike to her, and together they sang their usual song.
I dropped my body to sit on the arm-rest of the couch which Tomo was seated. It seemed like meeting’s over for now and back to our usual karaoke session which we dubbed as our secret training to made it sound cooler. We can’t just talk to the others to meet up for karaoke in front of other people, right? It will shatter our bad and tough girl image, so we dubbed it as ‘secret training’. Well, according to Yuko-san, it is a secret training. It trains us to bond with each other. Which was, well… true… but, should we really doing this now? I glanced at Yuko-san who's trying to skin-shipped Torigoya while they sang.
My mind was racing with thoughts, about what Yuko-san had said, about my past, and ultimately how and when should I drop the bomb of my past experience to my girlfriend. ‘Yuko-san’s right, she deserves to know. It’ll be better if I’m the one who told her rather than she heard it from others. And she already knows about my past addiction, but… what if…’ I could feel the frown in my face getting deeper with each second passed, cannot and unwilling to getting loose and having fun like the others.
Then I felt the air moved, I glanced at the cause, Tomo had stood up from the chair and she pulled my hand, pulled me to follow her and walked out of the room with her. This was the second time tonight for me to being dragged out of the room, though she was gentler than Yuko-san, and strangely enough, I was being pushed to the same rest room. And just like Sado-san before her, she checked all the cubicles and locked the rest room door.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Inside the Karaoke Room, Yuko`s POV
I glanced at Shibuya, she was getting gloomier with each second passed. ‘Sigh… Perhaps it would be better if I dropped the bomb after karaoke, so that we all can enjoy our time together and having fun. But I've dropped the bomb already. Hmmm… what should I do to make her mood better? Seriously why I don’t have a ‘normal’ friend?! Sado… well, is sado, Torigoya is an airhead even though I love her so much, Black is too silent, Geki is a little insane, and Shibuya… too moody and hot-blooded.’ I sighed silently again and I looked at Shibuya`s direction. ‘Hm? It’s seemed like I’m not the only one who’s notice that there are something wrong with her. Sado and the other Queens have been stealing glances at her every now and then, it seems that Rappapa’s bond is still strong even after graduation.’ I slowly smiled at that. And I noticed that her girlfriend has been watching her for a while now. Then, with a sigh, she stood up and pulled Shibuya to walk out of the room with her, our eyes following them.
I shared a looked with Sado and nodded to her. ‘Ah, well, she was being taken care of. I don’t have to be too worried anymore.’ And the other has come back doing what they had been doing earlier. I felt Nyan-Nyan shifted in her seat beside me, and whispered in my ear.
“She’s the one, right? Shibuya`s lover?” I nodded as a response. “What’s happened Yuu-chan? Why did you say to Shibuya earlier that you can’t tell us?”
“It’s more like I can’t tell them,” I pointed at the current Rappapa with my chin, “Shibuya will kill me if I do.” Then I smiled at her. “I’ll tell you latter. I hope the others are not too tired for another meeting.”
“Perhaps Black can’t come though. It’s late, her son needs her.”
“Yeah, I know. Just the five of us then, plus Ookabuki.” She raised her eyebrow questioningly, so I added, “she deserves to know, this is involved with Shibuya. I guess it’ll be better if we have her help to look after Shibuya. She can do it better than us.”
“I see.”
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*At the same time, Rest Room, Shibuya`s POV.
She walked closer to me after she locked the door and she put her hand on my face, caressing me. “What’s wrong?” she asked softly to me, her eyes full of concern and… love. I gulped and closed my eyes, desperately trying to keep my insecurities and fear at bay. ‘Will she still looks at me like that after I tell her? With eyes full of love?’ I felt my forehead being kissed softly and I heard her asking me again. ‘Should I tell her? This soon? Hhh… Yuko-san was right… what did she see in me anyway? I have a messed up past, even for a yankee. And if that Ryuji really involved in this… I’ll only give her more troubles. I don’t want her to get hurt. Should I end it? Should I end us?’ A searing pain spread all over my chest at the thought of being away from her, of not seeing her again. ‘No… I need her too much, I love her too much. It’ll kill me if I end it.’
“The drugs that Yuko-san kept… it was yours, right?” she asked after a few minutes of silence. I just nodded. She linked her hand on the back of my neck and moved closer to me. Our forehead met with a soft ‘thunk’. “What happened when Yuko-san dragged you out?”
I let out my breath which I had been holding shakily. “Nothing… just the usual.”
“Don’t lie to me.” She narrowed her eyes at me.
I smiled at her. Feisty. But, I like that side of her. “You’ve already known about me, addicted to drugs before, right?” She nodded at my question. “What you didn’t know is how and why I got addicted.” She frowned worriedly at me.
“Is this related to what Yuko-san had just said earlier?”
“I don’t know… We still have to wait for this Captain Taka-something to tell us.” I sighed in exasperation. “And there’s also that damn guy!!” I gritted my teeth in irritancies.
“Who?”
‘Damn… my mouth slipped.’ I moved away from her. Unsure. Afraid. I gulped slowly, and said, “the one who introduced me to drugs….” I could hear her sharp intake of breath. ‘Should I continue it?’ I gulped again. “And… he is also… um..., I … I… I dated him… for a few weeks.”
“Wh… what?!” she ghastly asked.
“Ju-just a few weeks… days actually.” I immediately added nervously. “After that Yuko-san knew about me… and…”
“ARE YOU CRAZY?! HOW COULD YOU DATED A DRUG JUNKIE?!”
I flinched automatically at her shout. My mind desperately trying to find reasons for my action before. “I… I need to vent.” I blurted out. If she was angry before, right now she was on the verge of explosion. ‘Shit… I said the wrong thing.’
“By dating a junkie?” she hissed angrily and narrowing her eyes at me, “don’t tell me you trade your body for drugs…”
“NO!... I mean, of course not… I’m not that desperate. What I mean by vent is… I used drugs to vent. And my action and thought were affected by it, and… I ended up… dating him.”I said the last words in distaste. I took her hand and pulled it to my face. I kissed her palm and her wrist, right on where her veins are located, and cradled her hand in front of my heart. “You’re the only one that I want, that I need… It has been like that ever since we’re a child. And still do now.” I felt my face was getting hotter when I said that. I still couldn’t bring myself to say ‘I love you’ to her, so it was the closest words to love-confession that I could muster, for now. I was even rendered speechless when she said that three words. I know she was disappointed at me because I couldn’t bring myself to say it back.
*Flashback.
We’re kissing softly after our rounds and rounds of love-making, with her laying on top of me. After a while she pulled back to breathe and smiled slightly to me. She looked tired, her hair was slightly in disarray, and yet she was glowing. At least in my eyes, she was. “You’re beautiful.” I said breathlessly, without thinking. My eyes widen when I realize what I had just said, and I turned my head to the side, too embarrassed to look at her. Still uncomfortable, not used to share my feeling out, well, beside my anger, of course. Even after these past few months that we started talking again, and then dating, I rarely said something like that. If it about showing affection with action, I’ve got no problem with it, now. Well, we don’t need to hide anymore, right? It was easy for me, especially when we’re alone. But to say it with words was an entirely different matter.
She giggled softly and pecked my cheek. “You are too.” I shifted my eyes to look at her again. She has this small smile; happiness radiating from her, and her eyes, the looks in her eyes was so deep, seeing, searching, looking deep inside my soul, drowned me in, captivated me. I was unable to look away and for a few seconds, we were just stay there in silence, relishing each other’s company with only the sound of our breathing and the hushed sounds of the beating of our heart as the only sound surround us. She bit her lower lip, and moved closer to me, until her face was just an inch away from mine. Due to our close, very close, proximity, I could feel her heart beats faster and faster.
“… I love you…” she whispered softly.
My eyes widen in astonishment. I know that she do, well, at least, she must’ve have like me, and I know that she cares. But, heard that three words from her was… heavenly. I was elated. I tried to bring myself to reply, to tell her that I do feel the same. But, it seemed like I took too long, because she lowered her gaze and moved from on top of me, to lay on the bed beside me. I was still rendered speechless. And after a few minutes she sighed and said “good night,” and turned to lay on her side with her back faced me.
*End of flashback.
Her expression slowly became softer after I said that, but before I was about to release a deep breath out of relieve, she frowned and glaring at me. “Have you done ‘it’ with him?” I could literally saw and felt her dark aura getting darker and bigger with each second passed. ‘Damn… I’m doomed.’ I nodded slowly.
“I lost to a FUC*ING JUNKIE!?” She pulled her hand away from my grip and walked to the lean on the sink, her eyes giving me death glare all the time. “I know you’ve done it before, but, with someone like… like… like that?! If it was with other person, ‘decent’ person, I can be okay with it. What were you thinking?! Or did you even think!?”
‘So, she’s not okay with it. Sigh… I knew it will turn out to be like this if she know.’ I lowered my eyes to the floor. “I’m sorry.” ‘No one would still wanna be with me after knowing my past. Well, aside from Dance.’ I turned to headed to the door. “I just…better go…”
“Wait.” She pulled me and kissed me forcefully, aggressively. “I don’t like it, yes, but that doesn’t mean that I hate you.” She whispered to me afterwards. “I hate your stupid action. Not you. And I hate him for being your first AND introduced you to drugs.” She slowly put her arms around me and pulled me for a hug. “I’ve told you last night that I love you, remember? Nothing can change that.”
“I’m sorry.” I dropped my head on her shoulder and pulled her closer. “It was a big mistake.”
“What made you need to vent anyway? How bad your problem was, that fighting wasn’t enough?”
For a few seconds, silence greeted her. I was arranging the words in my head. I won’t just blurt out a mess-up words that could make her angry at me again. Lucky for me she was kept her silence, waiting for my answer. I sighed and tried to explain to her. “At the second semester when I was in first grade, my mother met this… guy… and well, he’s my step-father now. But, I don’t like him. He’s bossy and always ordered me around, and always comparing me to his daughter, bad-mouthing Majijo and yankee`s codes... And… you know I don’t like being ordered around….” I said with a pleading look towards her. She was just smiled and patted my head.
“And so… we’re always fighting. Even though I was always tried my best to not just knocked him out. Because, well, my mom loves him, and she’s the only family I had. So… I tried to relent, because I didn’t know, didn’t sure who’s side will my mom choose when she has to make the decision.” My voice faltered a bit at the end, my throat clogged. “Ah, well, we all know now who she chooses.” I added bitterly.
“She chose him? Over her own daughter?” She asked in disbelief.
“Rather than chose him, I would say they’ve kicked me out.” I said while smiling sarcastically. “At one time the fight got so bad, that I just snapped and knocked him out. With only one blow. The next day she was just given me the keys of my apartment and told me to pack and move out because she was tired from all the fights.” I moved away from her hug and turned to leaned on the sink and casted my eyes to the high-window. “Said that I am a disgrace, that she didn’t want to have a yankee as a daughter.” Slowly I felt my vision getting blurrier with tears, tears that I desperately trying to hide. I don’t want her to see it. I don’t want to look weak in front of her.
“After a few months she was trying to come into my life again. Feeling guilty, I guess. You already know about it. The occasional visits, phone calls, dinners… But it was too late… The damage had been done. A fifteen years old kid has to live on her own… And not to mention that this fifteen years old was a ‘rich-brat’ as Sado-san would’ve said,” I said sarcastically and I took a deep breath, trying my darnest to not cry. “And she had a quite amount of money to spend from both of her rich-successful-career minded-parents who’s both decided to leave her alone. And not to mention that she was also lost, sad, mad, angry, and… well, I don’t have to explain anymore. You can guess what happened after that.” I sniffed and rubbed my eyes roughly to wipe the tears away, uncaring for the fact that it’ll smear my eyeliner and mascara.
“Don’t.” She held my hand that was rubbed my eyes before, stopping me before I rub my eyes again. “You already looked like a panda.” She smiled teasingly.
“Shut up.” I said with a huff at her. And then she hugged me and mumbled a “sorry”, and helped me fixed it. Thank God I always bring my small make-up kit in my pocket. After my make-up was fixed, I sighed and continued my story. “Anyway… do I have to tell you how I got to know him?”
“Just give me the brief summary. I don’t need the detail.” She moved back a bit to narrowing her eyes at me. “Or else I will hunt him down.”
I smirked at that. Oh, I would love to see her knocked that guy down. “Er… I met him at a bar in Dogen-zaka. He said his name’s Ryuji. He noticed that I was stressed-out and persuaded me to try the ‘vitamin’ that he had to clear my head.”
“Wait.” She cut me. “Weren’t you’re only fifteen at that time?”
“Yep.” She stared at me in disbelieve, made me sighed in response. “Told you I’ve a quite amount of money.”
“You bribed the bouncer.... and you know that the ‘vitamin’ thing was a trap and yet you still taken it.” She asked me. Well, rather than question it was more like a statement, but I still nodded to answer her. “Your past was… really messed up.” She shook her head in exasperation. “Why didn’t you just come straight to me when you’d just got back to Tokyo anyway? You know where I live. Then all of that wouldn’t have happened.”
I dropped my head on her shoulder and mumbled, “Yeah… I’ve been wondering about that too.” I nuzzled her neck and sighed, “If we were like we are now, at least if we were friend back then, I know I would go straight to you when I’ve problems.”
She patted my back comfortingly. “Well even though we want to, we can’t change what’s happened…” And then her holds on me strengthen. “But I swear to God, if you ever do that again, I will skin you alive and throw your body to the sea to feed the sharks.”
Despite the death-threats she was given me, I still found myself smiling at her. I rub my finger to the angry scowl on her face. “Well, you love me too much to actually kill me…,” I saw her opened her mouth to retort back so I quickly added, “and beside you have to wait for your turn.”
“What do you mean?” the angry scowl now being replace by a, in my opinion, very cute asking pout.
“Yuko-san has said it first… rather than seeing me killing myself slowly, she prefers to kill me with her own hands.” I smiled softly, lost in my memories. “After she noticed that I was different than usual, she followed me around. And when she know what I had become, she was forcefully moving out to my apartment for a few weeks and forced me to rehab, Oshima Yuko`s style.” I shivered at the memories of what Yuko-san had done to me. “God, it was like hell.” She didn’t say a word, waiting in silence for me to continue, with her eyes staring straight to mine. “It only takes her a week to know something was wrong. But, she was too late, I was already addicted and… one day I found myself in… his… bed…” I said in distaste. I saw her stiffened at the mention of bed, and the angry scowl came back in her face. But, now, it was also companied with pain and hurt. I pulled her close and whispered “sorry” in her ear.
She shook her head and smiled sadly, “no, it’s okay; you were not yourself back then. And besides, I didn’t even know that you’re back in Tokyo. We’re not even friend at that time.”
“Still, I’m sorry.” I sighed and continued with my story. Now that I know that she’ll still around after she knew, I wasn’t afraid anymore to open the cage of my past. “After she knew, she confronted me about it. And the next thing I know, a few days later, I’d got the whole Rappapa in front of my door, with Yuko-san, who brought a large duffel bag with her. And hell was started.” I chuckled a little. We’re not close to one another at that time, we weren’t even friend. The only thing that connects us was only Yuko-san. And yet, they took their turn to watch over me with Yuko-san, to make sure that I would get better. “And after I got rid of my addiction, one of them would still tag along with me to made sure that I won’t get back to drugs. And…” My voice dies out. I was wondering, should I tell her ‘that’?
“Emm… do you know Higa Gakuen?” I asked her.
“The co-ed school that was used to have the strongest yankee gang in this area?”
“Yeah… that one…” I said slowly, uncertain. “You know what destroyed their strongest gang?”
“Rappapa was the one that defeated them, right? That’s one of the reasons why I enrolled to Maji- Wait… Is that related to…”
“Ryuji was a senior in Higa at that time.” I cut her. “After I was getting better, which was taken a few weeks for me to recover, Yuko-san forced me to spill out what’s happening. So, I told her what I’ve told you. But, much shorter. And after she knew about that guy… Well, she was livid. And then, one day I met him with his gang on the road after school. At that time, Rappapa wasn’t as famous as it was now. Only Majijo’s students and Yabakune knew us. So, he confront me and… being a jerk that he is.” I growled in anger when I said it. “Unlucky for them, Yuko-san was with me at that time, along with Torigoya. So…”
“Ah…” She said as understanding dawn on her. “So that’s what led to Rappapa`s raid to Higa gang`s base camp. I’ve heard of Rappapa`s victory, but the reason for the fight was unknown.”
“Actually, the leader was mad that his underling got beaten by us. So he sent us a challenge letter. And then we complied with it and attacked them. It was an easy fight actually. They just win in number but they’re weak, and…” I stopped in mid-sentence when a thought came inside my mind. ‘Wait a minute… during the raid… The documents that we found… the drugs… Yuko-san….’
“Tomo? What’s wrong?” I heard her called me and I looked the worried face in front of me.
“We better get back.” I said while walking to the door. “I just remembered something.”
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was rushing over to the room with her following behind me. Everyone stared at me when I opened the door. And I immediately walked to Yuko-san who’s smirked at me.
“Ah… finished with the making-out session?”
I fight back the urge to growl in irritancies, and instead I said. “Remember the raid to Higa`s base?”
Yuko-san smirk instantly fall from her face. I could hear some gasp and saw the frown in Sado-san’s face and she immediately took the remote from Shaku’s hand to mute the volume. “What’s with it?” Yuko-san asked me.
“I was just telling her about it-“ I pointed at Tomo with my hand. And Shaku’s cry of protest cut me out.
“What?! Not fair. How come Ookabuki gets to know about the Grand Victory of Rappapa?! What about us!?” She stomped on the ground. “I want to know what happened too.”
“Spoiled-brat, shut up. This is not the time.” Sado-san said with an even tone to her, and then she looked at me, “Shibuya, continue.”
I rolled my eyes in exasperation. “I remembered when we attacked them, didn’t we took some of the documents and their ‘stuff’ for ‘precaution’?”
“Yeah… but, I already gave the ‘stuff’ along with the other ‘stuff’ you had to-“ Yuko-san paused for a while. “You think it was related to this?”
“I think we better check the documents up.” Sado-san said. “We never read any of it for all these years.”
“What are you talking about?” Youran asked. Kokabuki and Shaku also sporting similar confusion looks in their face. Surprisingly, or perhaps it’s not, Torigoya also at lost.
“Yeah, I don’t know too.” She said with an asking pout. A sigh from me, Sado-san and Geki answered her.
Black asked her “You don’t remember?”
Torigoya frowned in confusion and she seemed to be in a deep thought and then she whispered something to Yuko-san. And when Yuko-san nodded, she begun to smiled and chirped happily. “Aaah….so it was about that. Alright… continue.”
“Wait… what about us?” Kokabuki said. “We’re Rappapa too.” And she turned to her Aneki. “Aneki?”
Tomo shook her head. “Sorry, it’s not my story to tell. I can’t tell you this time.”
“I’ll tell you later, though I have to filter it or Shibuya over here will go berserk.” Yuko-san said with an evil smirk to me. And I rolled my eyes at her.
“Better than not knowing anything, I guess.” Youran said and then she turned to looked at Maeda who’s still sitting in the corner, staring into empty space with a frown etched in her face. “Atsuko? What do you think?”
“Sometimes not knowing is better. All I want to know for now is who’s responsible for Erena’s death.” She said with an aura as black as Black.
“I see.” Yuko-san muttered, and she went all serious again. “I actually want to ask you guys for another meeting in Shibuya`s place-“
“Why in mine?” I asked, confused.
“Because what I want to say is about what I said to you earlier.” She narrowed her eyes at me.
“Oh… about that.”
“Yep, about that…” Yuko-san said. “And aside from that, there’s also this heavenly fridge of yours that full with drinks and ice creams.” She said while smiling happily. “And… you still got some whiskey, right?”
“Sorry. She poured it all out on the sink when she found it.” I said while pointing at Tomo who’s putting on an innocent expression.
“What?!” Yuko-san said with a heart-broken expression.
“Thank, God… She was hard to handle when she was drunk.” Torigoya said.
“Attacking you, you mean?” Sado-san quickly added to Torigoya who was getting red from embarrassment.
“Arghh… the whiskey…” Yuko-san was staring on the ground in sadness for a while, and then she sighed. “Fine, no whiskey then. But anyway, I guess it’ll be better if we see the damn documents first.” She combed her hair with her hand. “I don’t want to make a wrong decision. Go to our clubroom tomorrow. We’ll figure things out.”
“Sure.”
“Okay.”
“But I’ve a date tomorrow!”
We all turned our head to look at Youran who’s fidgeting nervously under the ex-Queens plus Sado-san`s gaze.
“Do you want me to add pit bulls and German shepherds to your training? Or perhaps Siberian huskies?” Black asked calmly. Youran’s eyes widen in fear and she shook her head vigorously. “Cancel your date.” Black said.
“Hhh… fine.” Youran said in defeat.
“Good.” Yuko-san said. She glanced at the TV screen and smiled. “We still have about thirty minutes. Shibuya, Sado, Geki… wanna sing the usual?” I sighed and nodded, ‘like we have other choice.’ Geki was already searching for the song.
“And by the way, Nyan-Nyan, I sing it because I like the song, so don’t misunderstand it, okay…” She said to Torigoya who’s smiled and said, “I know. You all have sung it several times.”
I sighed again and looked at Tomo, “same here.” She was just looking at me questioningly. And then the sound of electric guitars can be heard. The four of us grabbed the mike, and started to sing at the same time.
“I hate you, Baby! Don’t make me love!”
I slumped at the single couch after we finished singing. The lack of sleep has finally hit me. Torigoya and Black were singing some song that I’ve never heard. My eyes was about to close when the soft music reached my ears followed by slow rhythm of the drums and bass. But what made me instantly opened my eyes and gaped was the soft voice that sang the song.
“Aa anata no koto wo tada mitsumeru dake de. Aa kokoro ga mitasarete yasashii kimochi ni naru yo.” I immediately looked, no, gaped at her with mouth and eyes opened wide. She was looking at me too when she was singing the song with Kokabuki. She was… smoking HOT, and her expression… ‘Oh, God… I want to just drag her to my apartment. NOW!!’
Unbeknown to me, Yuko-san was already by my side, and she was whispered to me, “close your mouth, you’re drooling.” I instantly closed my mouth and bring my hand to my chin, which was…dry. She trolled me. Damn. I glanced at Yuko-san who’s laughing her heart out after her successful prank on me, and went back to watched my smoking hot, extremely sexy girlfriend singing the most seductive song I’ve ever heard with her tantalizing voice. I knew my eyes was watching her with full of lust, and I don’t care anymore. They all have known about us anyway.
“I think I know why she was able to tame you…” Sado-san who was sitting by my side said, and then she gasped, “Shibuya! Your nose is bleeding.”
“Huh?” I said dumbly, my eyes still locked on Tomo, and I rubbed my nose. And I realized I was pranked again. Dammit! “… Hey! You two, stop that!” I said to the two trolls who were laughing happily, and I mumbled to myself “Geez… why can I enjoy the show in peace?”
“What’s that, Shibuya?” Yuko-san asked me with a mischievous glint in her eyes.
‘Dammit, she heard that.’ “Nothing.” I immediately said with a straight face.
“You wanna enjoy the show in peace? Okay then….” Yuko-san smirked at me.
‘Oh, God, no way…’ I watched with dread as she was looking at Tomo who was standing across the room and was giving the mike to Black after the song finished. ‘I’m doomed…’
“Hey, Ookabuki!” Yuko-san shouted, made everyone looking at her. “Why don’t you give Shibuya over here a private lap-dance?” Yuko-san said while smirking evilly. My face was getting hot from embarrassment.
“WHAT!?” Tomo shouted back with a red-face.
“Yeah… she said she want to enjoy the show in peace.” Sado-san added. “Perhaps you could give her a strip dance as well.”
“Oh-ho… that, my friend, might be too hard for Shibuya to handle.” Yuko-san said. “She might faint from ‘overheat’. Know what I mean?” Yuko-san wiggled her eyebrows suggestively at Sado-san.
“Nah, I think it’ll lead to a long night for both of them.” Sado-san retorted. “A very LONG night.”
I and Tomo were rendered speechless by their teasing, which was worse than usual. Geki, Torigoya and Black was smirking, known full well that I had become the victim of Yuko-san and Sado-san`s teasing session again. While the others Rappapa was smiling awkwardly, unused with the sexual jokes, especially Kokabuki, because one of the victims was her Aneki. She was chanting, “I don’t hear that… I don’t wanna know anything about their ‘private’ life... Dear God, please stop them.” Hearing that, Yuko-san and Sado-san stopped their merciless prank on me and laughed. I could only smile awkwardly at Tomo, whose face was still slightly red.

*In the front of train station near Majijo.
“Bye, every one.” Youran said, and she walked out to the left of the station with Shaku, and Ookabuki. Maeda went down in the other station before here.
“So, I’ll take my leave as well.” Sado-san said. “By-“
“Ookabuki, your house is in the same direction as ours, right? Hurry.” Shaku said from her place about ten meters away from us. Cut Sado-san sentences and made her narrowing her eyes in irritancies at Shaku.
“No, I err…” Tomo said, and then she paused. I know she was trying to find the better words besides ‘I’m staying over at Shibuya’s place’ which was definitely would earn another round of teasing.
“Oh-ho… staying over aren’t you?” Yuko-san said while smirking to us. “Don’t overdo it, okay. We have another meeting tomorrow.”
“Eh!? They’re already ‘that’ close?” Youran asked Kokabuki who’s sighed and dragged Youran and Shaku to walk faster and left us without saying another word.
Then Torigoya pulled Yuko-san to walk with her to the right side of the station. “Let’s go, Yuu-chan. I’m tired. You’ve tease Shibuya enough for today.”
“Torigoya, you staying over in Yuko-san`s today?” Geki asked.
“Yeah.” Yuko-san answered. “Skin-ship… Skin-ship…”
“What?! How could you still tease me about it when you also have Torigoya staying over in your place tonight?” I asked in exasperation. “In front of our kohai?! Do you want to destroy my name?”
“Because riling you up is fun.” Yuko-san said, “You should’ve seen your face.” She smirked and then she started walking with Torigoya.
I growled in irritancies and Sado-san also took her leave because she was also heading to the same direction with Yuko-san and Torigoya. Left us with Geki and Black.
“So, Geki staying over with you again, Black?” I asked her when we walked down the road.
“Hm~.” Geki answered instead. “I was thinking maybe it will be better if I move in. Orphanage sucks.”
“You can move in anytime.” Black said.
“I didn't know the two of you are that close.” Tomo said.
“Wha-what? We-we’re friends, ri-right, Geki?” Black retorted. “We’re not like you and Shibuya.”
Strange, this is the first time I saw Black stuttered like that. Perhaps Yuko-san was right. There is something between them. My lips slowly turned into a smirk.
“Suuureee…” I said. “Well, see you tomorrow then.” I said to Black and Geki when we reach the crossroad and had to part. And after we walked for a few meters, Tomo held my hand and leaned her body towards me.
“Our Sachou is crazy.” She said with a small smile.
Despite her smile, I still found myself flinched. “Sorry about that. You’re got your share of teasing because of me.”
“No, it’s okay. I was just surprised and… embarrassed…” She said. “By the way, was what Sado-san has said true? Or was it just her way to tease you?” I only kept on walking with her without saying another words. “I noticed the way you stared at me when I sang was a little… dangerous… But… do you really said that?”
“Said what?” I asked innocently even though I know full well what she meant.
She narrowed her eyes at me. “Don’t play dumb with me.”
“I errr… only said about ‘enjoy the show’, the rest was… them…”
“Oh… really? ‘Enjoy the show’, hm?” she said with a sultry voice that made my blood boiled. She stopped me in my track and stood in front of me. She ran her finger from my cheekbone to my jaw, and caressed my jaw line. “If you behave, perhaps I’ll think about it.”
The warmth emulating from her body, her scent, and the feel of her finger caressing my jaw line was… too much for my senses. I gulped and tried to ignore the warmth that has started to spread in my lower belly. I tried to remembering myself that we WERE in the middle of the road.
She leaned closer to me and whispered in my ear, “but only if you behave.”
‘Shit!’ I couldn’t take it anymore. I looked around us. ‘We’re here… okay, only a few meters left.’ And then I started dragged her to my apartment. Her soft giggled could be heard from behind me.
“They’re right… It’s very easy to rile you up.” She said in between giggled, while we’re in the elevator.
“Shut up.” I growled. And then, the elevator opened in my floor. I dragged her again to my apartment. I opened the door in lighting speed. And I pushed her against the door and kissed her. The door slammed close because of the collision with our body. Surprisingly, she was more aggressive today, not that I’m complaining but… it was strange. She was never this… demanding.
Before I knew it I was already at the bed with her on top of me. Naked. She pulled back a bit to breathe. And then she smirked sexily. Odd. It was like she was possessed by a horny demon. Her eyes were gleaming dangerously.
“I’m gonna show you why you’re mine. Why you never ever need to even look at other.” She whispered to me.
Well, there’s no need for that, really. But, who am I to refuse, right? I just better enjoy it. Who knows when she’ll be like this again. I just hope we wouldn’t oversleep, or else we’ll be facing Yuko-san`s wrath or endless teasing. I don’t know which is worse… Sigh….
