Chapter 3: Interrogation? Nah

A/N: 1572 words, enjoy :)

Stepping off the bus alongside the other passengers, we are quickly escorted by the Authorities in the nearby tent.

One by one the passengers gave their name and their testimony of the consequent events that have transpired inside the bus, most if not all passengers looked at my direction pointing and explaining the events.

Some looked at me for permission while the others immediately answered the questions to immediately be freed and go to their loved ones, and home, as although quick the events still made it quite traumatic to some earning sympathy from the officers after listening to them.

On Kushida-san side, the hostage girl, the brown-haired student that almost tried to stab the hostage taker with his pen, a well-build young man with shoulder-length blonde hair is alongside those that are being questioned by the officers they especially looked at my direction as they explain the traumatic, and the subsequent events.

'Oh, that's the student that Kushida-san tried to plead for a seat for the old woman earlier, quite a haughty one, yet he looked meek when the robbery happened.' Looking at the guy, donning a similar student uniform so that makes us 5 of the same student of the same Academy in the bus robbery incident.

'I hope we won't get punished for arriving late on our first day at the school later.' Thinking so I could not help but worry as I am the quite punctual type.

Remembering that the school that I'll be attending is among the top of the most sought-after academy that have 100% acceptance rate for every career after graduation, and that they have higher members of the society at their disposal I thought to myself,

'They should soon have the information about the incident, right? Let's see if the hype about the school is correct, and not just a propaganda made by their higher ups to get more donations from the influential families.'

With a glint of my sapphire eyes, I ponder if I'll have to change their board of director and its members.

After hearing the testimonies of all the passengers, and victims of the robbery, most of the officers looked at my direction, some with awe, incredulousness, and praise in their eyes, as hearing the feat of a student subduing a group of armed adult men without having any casualties, while also saving a hostage girl are astonishing feats.

Coming in front of me a Police Captain with a rough face and, disapproving gaze said, "I am Police Captain Bashira Boton, state your name, affiliations and give me a summary of the incident."

Looking at me contemptuously, he demanded for me to give him the concise events that have transpired.

Raising an eyebrow at his attitude towards me, I started with introducing myself,

"My name is Yuuki Aki-" 

But before I could finish talking, the Police Captains radio buzzed, and someone spoke and before the captain reprimand the officer on the line, he shakily explained,

"P-Police Captain, i-it's him, the one we've just been informed earlier at Headquarters!"

"T-The Yuuki Family Heir!" Startled by the revelation, the captain voiced his thoughts in a high pitch voice causing the surrounding people to look at our direction.

"W-What? The Heir of the Yuuki Family is here? The rumored prodigy who innovates the use of Hydrogen powered Electricity without the use of coal or chemicals that can harm the environment. The Prince of Innovations and the beloved grandson of the 5-star General, Sir. Yuuki Daimatso?"

Looking at my direction, since I am the only one in front of the Police Captain, they surmise that it really is me.

Proving their conjecture to be correct, the Police Captain saluted me, and apologized at his earlier conduct.

"I apologize for my earlier actions, please be rest assured as I'll personally handle these scums who dared to even touch you Sir." He then promised with an ingratiating smile, with cold sweat trailing down his forehead fearing that I would report him to the higher ups.

Smiling gently, but inside cursing at how now everyone is looking at my direction with swooning and awe-filled gazes because of the loud-mouth Captain, I decided to ignore him.

Panic now etched on the captain's face as the prospect of getting at least yelled by the higher ups is looking more likely with the young man not abating his unease and ignoring his presence.

Leaving the camp of the now adoring gazes of the Authorities and the nervous mess of a Captain, I approached the students at the Sakura Tokyo Nurturing School.

"H-Hey, Y-Yuuki Aki." Looking at Kushida-san I hear her calling out to me with an awkward tone of voice.

Understanding the situation, I wryly smiled and responded to her,

"You can call me Aki just fine."

With a bit of nervousness in her voice she argued,

"B-But you're HIM! I recognized you at first glance but only now did I ascertain that you're indeed the Yuuki Ak of the Yuuki family. I first saw you from the television but back then you're wearing glasses, and a scientist robe."

Adding more with excitement in her voice she said,

"You're also the one who invented the Gel Face Mask! Oh, the rejuvenating feeling it gives when applied. You don't know how much you change the life of every woman in this world. I can count more of your achievements but those alone makes your stature big in the society!"

Scratching my cheek I said,

"Please don't tell anyone in the school about those, I want to experience being someone off the radar for once haha."

Punctuating my reason I continued with a gentle smile,

"Besides I'm already your friend right Kushida-san? Or are alluding that it's only me that felt that we're friends?" The ended with a dejected face.

Panicked Kushida-san immediately replied, 

"N-No w-were friends! Yes, I am your friend!" She hurriedly said with a shout as fearing I would be sad.

With a victory smile inside, I replied with a mischievous smile,

"Then continue on calling me Aki from now on."

With a look that she's been hoodwinked she puffed her cheeks and poutingly said,

"Mou~ Aki-kun, teasing a girl to your game without asking is bad manners you know that?"

Being forced to watch the flirting, the 2 remaining students, the girl, and the brow-haired boy's face looked like they are being fed cat food.

Speaking up the blonde one said,

"Hah! I'm finally meeting someone of high class pedigree as me! My name is Rokuske Koenji! Pleasure being of your acquaintance, I would also like, if possible, to be your friend." Brushing his hair he said haughtily, but considerably less when talking with others.

"Likewise." I perfunctorily nodded to him and replied.

The braided hair girl, placing one of her hands on her breast then introduced herself, 

"My name is Horikita Suzune, now knowing your identity I finally understand your confidence, and subsequent actions against the robbers earlier." Saying so with understanding, and admiration on her tone.

"As you've already heard, and know, my name is Yuuki Aki, but it would be better if you disassociate me with the so called 'Prince of Innovation' inside the school." I asked and gently smiled at her direction.

Looking at the earlier level-headed brown-hair student the 4 of us looked at his direction waiting for his introduction, as he's the only one who hasn't.

With a face that looked of resignation he finally introduced himself,

"The names Ayanakoji Kiyotaka." He said blandly and shortly then stared at me for a moment then closed his eyes muttering in a low voice, "Is he also from that place?"

Now finished with introductions I finally broached the subject on why I approached them in the first place. 

"Do you guys have a lift? If not, I would like to invite you guys as we're all going in the same destination." I asked them as earlier when we stepped off the bus, I called for my chauffer.

'I really wanted to not draw attention to me, but now that the cat's out of the bag I really don't have any reason not to call for my ride.' Thinking so I shook my head and smiled wryly.

Shortly just after my invitation a limousine parked in front of us 5 and someone with a chauffer uniform came out of the driver's seat and said in a respectful manner,

"Sir Aki, please enter, the mistress also called to drop you off to the academy." Saying so he bowed and looked at me and the group of students behind me.

Sporting another wry smile, I turned around and invited them once again,

"Come, we're already late."

Looking behind me the only one looking surprised is Kushida-san, while the other 3 just have a look that they already expected that I would have a chauffeur at my disposal.

Entering first I took a comfortable seat, soon the too entered followed by the chauffer closing the car door.

Next to me Kushida-san took the seat on my right while on her side sat Horikita-san, the two guys then took the seat on the other side.

Closing my eyes feeling weary I decided to take another quick nap as the events made me a bit sleepy.

Feeling worn-out especially now that 4 of my schoolmates already know my identity and I haven't even stepped foot at the Academy, I sleepily thought, 'Finally a break.'
