RYUGA : Tell me, the person in the rumor before, was it your sister?

* Ayumi just nodded. *

RYUGA : Aiko, do you know anything about that senpai before?

* Looking at other places while giving an answer that doesn't even help Ryuga. *

AIKO : Don't ask me.

* Ryuga push Aiko towards the door and ask her again*

RYUGA : Are you gonna tell me or not?

AIKO : *blushed and felt annoyed* Okay, okay I'll tell you. *push him back a little.*

AYUMI : Wait Tachibana….

AIKO : Shut up, I'm annoyed by you already, don't make me turn this festival into a bloody festival by starting with you.

* The glare Aiko's giving is more terrifying than what Moriganna have did to her just now. But, somehow the vibe Aiko's giving wasn't that dark, but it's warm and full of justice instead.*

AIKO : Okay first, her name is Moriganna Falorra. She's an eurasian, her father is French and her mother is Japanese. She's also quite delinquent student. I don't know how many times she changed schools before because of her cases, but somehow she managed to stay at this school since her second year. And for some reason, she only listen to what our president told her to do. Most of the times she follows the school's rule. It just sometimes she messed up and got into troubles, like this girl's sister's case.

RYUGA : What actually happened to your sister?

AIKO : Her sister was actually that queen's class monitor and her quite close friend in class. From what I've heard, her sister always tried to get into her things when she make a fuss. But there's this one time, her sister tried too hard and slapped that queen for once. Maybe the queen got annoyed and finished her that day.

AYUMI : No, that's not it. That Moriganna is just a crazy person. The fact is that whenever my sister try to get into that girl's problem, she will always get hurt. But, the last time that she's gravely injured is because someone accused my sister that she is the person who released an inappropriate video of Moriganna senpai.

RYUGA : Then that queen was supposed to be kicked out from the school for what she did. How is she still in our school?

AYUMI : No, the video is fake. But the original clip of the video was found in my sister's laptop. Without doing a proper investigation, Moriganna vent it all out on my sister the day after the video was released and that causes her unconscious until now. * She feels like she's gonna cry anytime soon.*

RYUGA : Where did they found it?

AYUMI : At her club's desk in the Photography's club.

RYUGA : There's nothing we can do about your sister. This happened long ago. If this happened recently, we probably can still find the culprit.

AYUMI : It's okay, my sister has already get her name cleared. The cctv caught the person who did it and that person was beaten so badly by Moriganna senpai until all her legs and hands are crippled. But still, why is it has to be my sister. She didn't do anything wrong. I only want her to apologize to my family and my sister for making her like that.

RYUGA : You should tell her that.

AYUMI : But I'm weak, afraid to stand up for my sister. I'm ashamed of myself. *can't hold her tear, she cried without letting any sound comes out*

AIKO : I can't stand people like you the most, you did realize yourself as a weakling yet you didn't ask for help.

AYUMI : *look straight to Aiko's eye and wipe away her tears*. I know it's not my place to ask help from both of you. But you guys are different, you guys are strong. Please help me talk to her, I just want her to apologize. *stand up and bow to them*

* Aiko's personality is changing at this moment. She start to see Ayumi as a classmate again.*

AIKO : That's easy, but she isn't the type to listen to what others say except for that president.

RYUGA : Yeah, I noticed that too. She only take orders from that suspicious president.

AIKO : Also that president is the one we should be wary of the most. That little cockroach you slammed on the floor is nothing but an insect. However, that president is on another level. I've met him a few times already during the school's meeting. You may not believe me, but there is not a single teacher who says no to him whenever he makes a decision.

*Aiko remember that there's actually a teacher who got into an argument with the president before but she was silenced by the president for his intelligence.*

RYUGA : No, I believe what you said. After seeing the president himself, I can definitely feel that he's not a regular student. More like a _________ just like uncle.

AYUMI : *shocked * I didn't hear it wrong right?

AIKO : I thought the same. And who cares about what you just heard?

AYUMI : But, but Ryuga, how can someone as dangerous as him is still a student?

RYUGA : That's what I'm trying to figure out as well.

* Ring!!! Ring!!!… Ayumi's phone is ringing*

AYUMI : Hello?

YUKIE : Where did you go? It has been 3 hours since you go out. Come back to the class, we're almost done here. Let's take another picture. Also, can you go pick Tachibana at her club? Ryuga is probably over there too. Bring them here.

AYUMI : But you already take so much picture today, Yukie.

YUKIE : I know but, after checking all of them, there's no Tachibana and Ryuga in here. Go go bring them here.

AYUMI : sure, if I can find them.

*Yukie hang up her phone.*

RYUGA : I heard that. Come on Aiko. *take Aiko's hand*

* Ayumi watch them walking away*

~ I also need to go, and just tell Yukie I didn't see them anywhere. After all the troubles I've caused them today, this is at least what I can do. ~

* Aiko stop and look back at Ayumi*

AIKO : Why are you still standing there? Come on, I need to hurry and go back to my club.

*Hearing what Aiko said make Ayumi happy. She runs to them and walk with them to the class together.*

-when it gets dark at the school-

AN : where's everyone? Don't we still have the last event left?

SHOYO : Well everyone left early because they said they have something to do.

KEN : That's not important, but why is there no girl at all that stay here with us? Huhuhu..

SHOYO : What're you talking about? Akira is still here with us. *point Akira sitting beside him*

AKIRA : Yo.

KEN : Go away flatboard.

*Akira give Ken an elbow to his fat stomach*

KEN : Aww, aww. That's hurt flatboard.

AKIRA : With that much fat? No way you can feel anything.

KEN : So cruel *sob, sob*

AN : Why are you with us Akira, we're all boys.

SHOYO : What's wrong with that. Gender doesn't matter. Right, Akira?

AKIRA : Yup. *drink the milk that's left from the event.*

*Ken and An have a same thought. ~she look just like a boy with a cute face~. Then both of them saw a beauty coming towards them.*

…....… : Did you wait long, Shoyo?

SHOYO : Ouh, Nee-san. Do you wanna go home already?

SAYYA : Yeah. There's nothing left I can do.

KEN : Shoyo, is this your sister?

SHOYO : Yeah.

KEN : Hello Miss, my name is Hotaro Ken the same class as Shoyo. I'm quite a fan of you. Please sit here, would you like to drink with us?

SAYYA : Ouh nice to meet you. How about you cute guy, what's your name?

AKIRA : My name is Akira and I'm not a guy.

*Sayya look at her chest, and apologised*

SAYYA : Ouh I'm sorry beautiful.

AN : My name is Kawajiri An. I'm also the same class as Shoyo.

SAYYA : Ouh my, sorry I didn't see you there.

AN : he..he…. it's okay *looking at his friends laughing in burst and all he can do is glare at them.*

SHOYO : Here sis, take this juice.

SAYYA : Thank you. Ouh, how's your class doing?

AN : Very gooddddd. Our class may win the whole school with the highest point this year.

SAYYA : Really? Much better than class S2-A? I heard their play was so good. What is your class doing?

AKIRA : A cafe.

SAYYA : Cafe? Ouh..ouhh that's amazing. ~how can a cafe beat Yui Sama's class, it's impossible. They must be just boasting about their class~

SHOYO : I can't wait to go to school next week. With that much tokens we received from visitors, we are definitely gonna win this without a doubt.

SAYYA : How much visitors you got today?

KEN : About 68 visitors like that. Ouh maybe if we include Suzuha and that funny guy that came to just look around. There were 70 visitors.

AN : Which guy?

AKIRA : Probably the one that was wearing a military outfit. A cosplayer I think.

AN : Ouh that guy. At first, he said he was just looking for a certain person right? At the end he drank a cup of green tea with 9 cubes of sugar.

KEN : That's why I said he's funny. It's the first time for me to see someone who can drink that sweet.

* All of them chuckle except for Sayya*

~ For a second I thought they will say 200 visitors like that. Now I'm sure they are all just boasting around, and what the heck is the guy that they are talking about, just hearing them talk, I will label that guy as a weirdo instead of funny~

SAYYA : Shoyo, let's get back. I'm too tired today.

SHOYO : Sure, well then guys. It looks like we're going to part ways here. See you guys this Monday.

*Akira, Ken and An just stay to continue their little party with other students from different classes. Class 2-C was only left with 3 people that night*

-at Sunday morning-

AIKO : Ryu. * Sitting on the sofa while reading a novel.*

RYUGA : What? *playing games on Nintendo Switch while laying on Aiko's lap.*

AIKO : Wanna go shopping today? *flip to the next page*

RYUGA : What do you want to buy? Groceries? We still have a lot of it in the kitchen.

AIKO : I wanna buy some snacks.

RYUGA : Just go buy them at the convenient store downstairs then.

AIKO : But, I want to go sightseeing at mall too.

RYUGA : What's there to see? It's too tiring. You better start studying. We have midterm exam in the next 3 weeks, right?

AIKO : Come on, Ryu. *close her book and facing down to look at Ryuga's face.*

RYUGA : *look at Aiko's sweet face* Nope, I don't want to go.

*press some buttons of Ryuga's game controller.*

AIKO : Come on. Come on.. *like a baby*

*Ryuga is getting annoyed by her and get her back by tickling her all over the places*

AIKO : Stop, stop, stop.. hahahah, Ryu, please stop.

*Aiko can't fight back and have to bear all of that tickles Ryuga gave her*

RYUGA : How's that? Still wanna disturb me?

AIKO : wuahaahaha, no no no, please stop Ryu. Ah ahahaha.. I'm begging you. *Tears starting to come out of her eyes*

RYUGA : Good.. I dare you to do like that again.

*The neighbours that live next to Ryuga's apartment heard their voice*

THE UNCLE : This couple is really loud eh, even it's still early in the morning.

THE AUNT : My, my.. those lovely kids. I remember that we are like that too when we are young right, dear?

THE UNCLE : Such a sweet memory of being young.

AIKO : Come on Ryuga, just accompany me for once please, this time only.

RYUGA : Fine, fine, fine.. Go prepare.. Also if you're late I won't go out today.

AIKO : Yes, Sir!!!!

*Aiko stand up and give Ryuga a salute then run out of his house to go back to her own apartment.*

~This girl's personality is so twisted. Though all of them are not fake, but I still wonder how's her emotions work~

* Changing his clothes, a big scar is on his back, another one is down on his left abs, and another scar is on his left shoulder, look a bit muscular and fit in any clothes that he wear.*

RYUGA : Let's go Aiko.

*On the other hand, Aiko is wearing a black jogger pants, with a white Tshirt. And a small cute backpack, and wear a hat.*

AIKO : Wait, wait *look at mirror and put on a soft colour lipstick.*

RYUGA : You're so late idiot.

AIKO : Late!!??, it has been only 15 minutes and you call it late. I don't even wash my hair this time. Good thing that I already took a bath this early morning and you're still going to complaint?

RYUGA : If you keep blabbering like that, I will go back inside and play my games. *insert the key room*

AIKO : Fine, let's go. * she pull Ryuga's hand*

- At mall-

AIKO : Uwaaaaaahhhhhh. This is my 6th times going out to mall with you. Gonna keep this in my notes.

RYUGA : Why do you even want to record such a useless thing like that. That's an embarrassing thing to do at your age.

AIKO : What's the problem? It's not like we always go out before.

RYUGA : Don't we always go out together when we were kids?

AIKO : Ouh, of course. But that doesn't count.

RYUGA : You're weird.*look at some cute hoodies* Aiko, come here, look at this.

AIKO : What? *looking at some cute animal hoodies*

RYUGA : Here try this one.

AIKO : Panda? Uwarghhh, this low life animal that do nothing but eat and sleep all the time.

RYUGA : They're cute you know. You will look very good in this. Come Aiko try this one.

AIKO : No way, just looking at this panda make me wanna slaughter it. But still, I admit that he's cute.

RYUGA : Right? Then try this one.

AIKO : No thanks. *Looking at something amazing* Wait for me here.

*Try to see himself with the panda hoodie infront of the mirror if it will look good on him.*

RYUGA : Sure.

AIKO : Tadaaaa!! How do I look? * Wearing a neon gaming like hoodie with a dragon pattern on the back*

* Ryuga who likes game so much can't say anything other than showing a woww look on his eyes*

RYUGA : Man, that's so dope. We should buy this one together. *put the panda hoodie back*

*They did many posses like a boss in front of the big mirror. They even take pictures of each other and themselves together.*

…....… : Emm, sir, miss. Are you going to buy that. If not, I suggest you, don't touch it.

AIKO AND RYUGA : Of course we do. Why do you even bother asking? Do you think we can't buy these? *serious face and threatened the staff*

~My god, these customers look like gangsters or something like that, please save me, they're too scary~

…....… : No no no, sir, miss. I just wanna tell you. Who knows if you didn't see that sign over there. *pointing towards the sign*.. "LIMITED EDITION COUPLE'S HOODIE, KINDLY ASK DO NOT TRY IT IF YOU WON'T BUY IT TQ"

* Aiko and Ryuga hadn't seen that sign before, and they are shocked by the price tag. They start to whisper at each other*

AIKO : You'll buy them, right?

RYUGA : I don't have that much money with me right now.

AIKO : What about the black card uncle gave us? My card is with you too, right?

RYUGA : I already posted them back to uncle yesterday.

AIKO : My gosh then now what?

RYUGA : Just return them and let's apologise.

AIKO : No way, this is mine. Nyenyenyenye.

RYUGA : You recklessly took it without reading the sign. And you can't even pay for it but you call it yours. Also what is nyenyenyenye?

…....… : Sir?

AIKO : Wait woman. Let me make a call first. *take her phone out and dial a number*

UNCLE TOUGA : Yes, beautiful? What's with the sudden call?

AIKO : Emm sorry for disturbing you uncle. But I have a little problem here. Ryuga have sent you the card yesterday, right?

UNCLE TOUGA : Yeah, I've been wanting to give it back to you as fast as possible. That damn brat didn't know how to accept someone's gift. Not only that, he took your card too? How dare him.

AIKO : Calm down uncle. You don't have to give us that card back. However, there's something I accidentally pick without looking at the price tag and need to pay for it right away. We can't return it even if we want to.

UNCLE : Say no more. Check your phone, I'll transfer you a bit for now.

AIKO : Thank you uncle. You must be busy right now. I'll hang up and call you again okay.

UNCLE TOUGA : Nah, I'm just watching football right now. Take care, honey, also tell that brat to pick up my call.

AIKO : Don't worry about that. Once again thank you uncle. Bye.

UNCLE TOUGA : Bye bye.. * put the phone down*. *changing his tone* Let's continue with the meeting.

…... : Cheh, the GREAT boss is too soft with kids. *talking to his own self*

*Pang, a bullet hit the glass in front of that guy. A guy with snake scale tattoos on both his arms fire his gun.*

UNCLE TOUGA : Too soft huh? Wanna try me bastard?

…....… : I'm sorry boss. My mouth just talk by itself. *insanely terrified*

UNCLE TOUGA : I see, you don't want that mouth of yours anymore huh.. *he look at the guy beside him* Go, you know what to do.

* The tattoo guy nodded and take the broken glass on the table and stuck it into that guy's mouth. He passed out and the blood splatter out of his mouth. Some of the people in the meeting room looks like as if they already got used to all of this but some of them are shocked by what just happened.*

UNCLE TOUGA : So, can we continue this?

EVERYONE IN MEETING ROOM :Yes sir.

-After paying for the clothes at the counter-

…..... : Thank you. Please come back again next time.

AIKO & RYUGA : Hahah sure. ~we won't~

AIKO : Hahahaha, that's so fun.

RYUGA : We almost embarrassed ourself back there.

AIKO : Thank goodness our uncle is a rich guy. Any money problems can solve just like that.

RYUGA : Life as a rich person is not fun at all. It's never enough.

AIKO : That's what you thought, but I want to be just like uncle in the future.

RYUGA : God nooo…He's only kind to us because we're his family members. If we're not, you won't be able to stand up like right now anymore after calling him when he's working.

AIKO : What I meant is, I wanna be rich just like him, I won't do what he's doing.

RYUGA : Hey are you still gonna walk around?

AIKO : I don't think so, after what just happened back there.

RYUGA : Thought so. Then come with me, let's go to watch some movies and then hit the arcade later.

AIKO : Now I'm fire up. Let's goooooooo.

RYUGA : calmm down..hahahaha

AIKO : Haahahaha.

*Both of them laugh out loud*

~She's weird, adorable, beautiful, annoying as hell…. and also terrifying in some ways. What kind of parents she had before. Aunt, Uncle, no matter where you guys are right now, I hope that both of you are safe and sound. Rest assured, your daughter live a healthy life right now, and will always be like this in the future, I'll make sure that happens since we're going to stick together for god knows how long it will be.~
