The Big Fight

I looked out the window during class and began to space out. The days felt a bit different, dreading even. It was cloudy outside and was going to rain. Honestly I hate the rain because I never know what to do during rainy days. I looked towards the board again then decided to stop procrastinating and jot down some notes. As I wrote the doors opened and Tsubami entered the room then looked at me. Mr. Hoshida stopped teaching and looked at Tsubami. Tsubami walked to my desk and placed her hand on my desk then looked at me. I looked at her directly into her eyes then she grabbed my tie.

"Come with me, I wish to talk to you in private." Tsubami let go of my tie then looked back at Otsuki and smirked then walked off.

"Bastard...you're in the way..." Otsuki growled under her breath.

I grabbed my bag and notebook then followed Tsubami out the class. Otsuki took her phone out and her eyes shined pink then she noticed there were too many witnesses so she put her phone away and acted natural. I looked at Tsubami and something in me told me I knew who she was. Looking at her uniform I could tell she was the Student Council President. I held my head and closed my eyes. We entered the office and she let me sit down on the couch. She closed the door and locked it then exhaled.

"There's a reason I called you in here today." Tsubami walked towards the other couch and sat down then crossed her legs.

"Did I do something wrong?" I asked.

"Not at all. I wanted to tell you welcome to the school personally." Tsubami smiled.

"That's all? You dragged me from class to say that?" I crossed my arms.

"No I'm kidding. Take a good look at my face. Do you know who I am?" Tsubami looked at me.

I looked at her and part of me felt like I did, but it was a struggle to even remember. She stood up and walked towards me and sat next to me then leaned forward. I looked at her.

"Now that I'm closer, maybe you can get a clearer picture." Tsubami said softly.

I couldn't speak as I was just drawn into her icey blue eyes. She wrapped her pinky around mine then closed her eyes. I began blushing as I felt our lips about to touch.

"Tsu-" I started then the door was kicked open and there stood Otsuki.

Tsubami opened her eyes and looked back then smirked. She stood up then Otsuki glared at her. Tsubami crossed her arms as she walked towards Otsuki.

"You are not permitted to enter without permission, let alone kick down my fucking door...bitch." Tsubami said.

"Oh? That's how we're gonna act huh? Alright, you know where to meet me. I'll kick your ass into oblivion and make you wish you were never alive." Otsuki said and walked away.

Tsubami closed her door and walked back to me and sat down then closed her eyes and sighed. I looked at her then rose an eyebrow.

"Sorry about that. She's become more...problematic recently. She really wants to control everything and everyone. She's become dangerous...I suggest you to watch her closely. She's taken a special liking to you." Tsubami said. "You are free to go."

I stood up and got my stuff and left the room and touched my lips then blushed. Tsubami also touched her lips and smiled. She blushed slightly. She stood up and closed her door and sat at her desk then closed her eyes while she placed her feet on top of the desk.

At the cafeteria, I sat with Aisha, Emma, and Rebecca. I kept touching my lips and closed my eyes. I remembered Tsubami off that small interaction.

"Hey tomato face. Why are you blushing?" Emma flicked her bottle cap at me and it hit my forehead.

"What the- Ouch! The hell?" I looked at Emma.

"Did something happen between you and Tsubami?" Rebecca asked.

"Well no. It's just she's insanely beautiful." I told them. I was not gonna bring up the fact Tsubami and I nearly kissed.

"Oh yeah, she really is. I remember my first time meeting her. Her beauty left me speechless." Aisha smiled. "So what did you talk about in her office?"

"Well it was pretty weird. She asked me do I know who she is. She's the Student Council President is she not?" I looked at them.

"That is pretty strange." Rebecca nodded.

"Hmm..." Emma thought.

"Hey! Is Motosaki in here?!" A student asked.

"I'm here." I raised my hand then the student ran to me and grabbed my arm.

"We need you, President Tsubami and Otsuki are about to fight and they are talking about you!" The student said.

I looked confused but stood up and followed the student. The others followed as well. We went into the dojo and saw Otsuki and Tsubami standing there.

"You always stand in my way and take everything that belongs to me! He is mine! Mine alone! Not yours!" Otsuki yelled.

"Sorry to break it to you cousin, but that's not how the world works. Sure you have all you need to make him yours, but sadly it will not work while I'm around. I am in an irritable mood so that's why I agreed to take down another delinquent. Didn't imagine it would be you." Tsubami said and struck the blade of the wooden sword on the ground. "Now enough talking. If you want to fight, let our actions talk for itself!"

Tsubami ran to Otsuki and bellowed and swung her sword and clashed with Otsuki. They two girls clashed blades and were evenly matched.

"How do you live with yourself knowing you're just a bitch like my fucking parents?!" Otsuki yelled and swung her wooden sword and Tsubami parried the attack.

"You are merely...reflecting!" Tsubami knocked the sword out of her hand then kicked her away. "If anyone here is a bitch, it is you! All you do is cry, bitch, and moan until you get what you want! This time it is not happening!"

Otsuki yelled and hit Tsubami with an uppercut on her chin. Tsubami stumbled back then grabbed Otsuki's arm and bellowed as she flipped her over her shoulder, slamming her on her back. Otsuki groaned and coughed, arching her back.

'What the hell is happening? From what I remember..Otsuki and Tsubami were close. They are family why are they fighting?!' I thought to myself and watched. I couldn't bring myself to move. I looked around and everyone else was also too afraid to move.

"Think Otsuki! Why do you think your parents left you?! It was your own doing! I had nothing to do with your parents!" Tsubami yelled.

"Shut up!" Otsuki punched Tsubami's cheek and ran to her then punched her cheek again and Tsubami fell to the ground. Otsuki got on top of Tsubami. "You're just a fucking worthless slut who always takes everything from me! You're not better than me! You're not prettier than me! You don't deserve him! You're a bitch and I hate everything about you! I want you out of my life completely!"

Otsuki yelled and was about to punch her face then I ran towards Otsuki grabbed her, pulling her off Tsubami. Tsubami got up to walk over to Otsuki then students grabbed Tsubami.

"Let me go!" Tsubami yelled.

"Why are they fighting?" Aisha looked afraid.

"I don't even know what's going on.." Rebecca said.

"Worthless! Useless! Asshole! Everything about you is pathetic! You aren't happy with yourself so you take it out on me!" Otsuki yelled.

"Flip it the other way around, bitch! I'm happy with myself and I will forever be twice the woman your worthless ass will ever be! In fact pack you fucking shit and get the fuck out of my house! I don't want scum like you in it! You delusional, psychopathic trifling hoe!" Tsubami yelled.

"That's enough!" I yelled.

The entire dojo went silent. Otsuki grit her teeth and glared at Tsubami. Tsubami panted and glared at Otsuki. I looked at them.

"Why are you two fighting..? You are family dammit! You still have each other and you need to protect each other! That's what family does! Family doesn't try to kill each other! What's wrong with you two?!" I yelled.

"You don't understand a thing, senpai. I get it, you are seeing us not fake our emotions for the first time. But let me tell you...Tsubami is the root of it all..the evil seed that cursed my life." Otsuki said and balled her fist.

"Do not listen to her lies, Motosaki. She caused all this upon herself! I had nothing to do with her downfall as a normal human being! If I wanted her to suffer, I would have made her life a living hell when I had the chance! I didn't though...I loved Otsuki, she was the only family I had left other than my sister who is overseas. I took care of this ungrateful bastard! Gave a home to the parasite! You don't understand...when you aren't around she's a fucking...nightmare." Tsubami said. "Why do you think...I always kept you around..? Remember Motosaki. Remember everything please, it's for your safety as well..!"

I was hit with multiple flashbacks and remembered all the times me and Tsubami were always in the office with Otsuki. Is it true I was the piece keeping them from doing this? All I remember were the events up until the point of meeting Naomi. I can't remember anything beyond that point.

"It's useless." Otsuki smirked at Tsubami. "Even if he does remember, what good will that do for you? Nothing! You'll never outsmart me."

"What are they talking about? Have Motosaki and Tsubami met before?" Aisha asked.

"I read something like this in a book called Erase. The main character lost his memories of the past and it wasn't like the past you're thinking of...it's like...a past life. He could remember things up to a certain point. Something happened in the past that made reality reset. Based on this book and what they are talking about." Rebecca said.

"That seems like a stretch...but it would explain why Tsubami is so close to Motosaki in the first place." Aisha nodded.

"I remember Tsubami keeping me in her office all the time when you were around Otsuki...I don't know if her reason is correct..but I just know she was keeping me around a lot.." I said.

'Dammit...he remembered?! How did he gain those memories..?' Otsuki thought. 'That's fine...I will just merely control him like everyone else now that I know he's not completely immune to my abilities.'

"Motosaki...Aftee school. Do not leave this building. Stay in my office." Tsubami said.

Mr. Hoshida pushed up his glasses and walked off. He closed his eyes and exhaled.

"Motosaki...Im afraid I can not help you right now. Just don't make any risky moves..." Mr. Hoshida said.

"I'll stay...but what about Aisha, Rebecca, and Emma?" I looked at them. "Will they be safe?"

"They will." Otsuki said. "No harm will be brought upon them."

"Alright..." I nodded and let Otsuki go.

The students let go of Tsubami and Otsuki walked off. I watched Otsuki and walked towards Tsubami. I wiped the blood from her lip and sighed. She touched my cheek and gave me a reassuring smile. I looked at her then saw her pass out on me due to exhaustion. I picked her up bridal style and carried her to her office. The others moved out the way so I could walk by.

"Now do you believe me..? It's all too coincidental." Rebecca said.

"But if that's true...what will happen next..?" Aisha asked.

Emma looked at them and Rebecca grew quiet then closed her eyes and held her arm.

"One of us...will die." Rebecca said.

The three grew silent. They looked at each other and grew afraid. They didn't know when or how they would die, Rebecca just knew one of them would perish and the events of reality resetting would just happen over again.

I walked in the Student Council Office and closed the door then laid Tsubami on the couch. I looked at her then smiled. I was going to walk off, but she held my hand then I looked at her again. I closed my eyes and sat on the floor in front of the couch. I looked at the ceiling then closed my eyes, still holding Tsubami's hand.

Otsuki was at Tsubami's home packing her clothes up and coughed a bit then her phone buzzed. She took her phone out and a message appeared.

Unknown Number: Are you just gonna accept defeat and let her take what's yours?

"No I'm not, but I need time to plan. I can't rush into anything. Now senpai remembers things...I have to be careful plus I still have detectives searching for me." Otsuki sighed.

Unknown Number: Start off simple...force Motosaki to love you if that's what you truly desire. He isn't immune, at the same time he can't be 100% affected by it. Choose carefully what you do.

"I know. You don't need to remind me."

Otsuki put her phone away then continued to pack her clothes. "I know what to do and I will succeed.."
