'Click'
A Gakuen Alice one-shot
Disclaimer- we do not own Gakuen Alice, Higuchi Tachibana let us borrow them!
"Click," Ruka saw a flash of white light that momentarily blinded him, but he didn't need to see to know who it was.
Hotaru. Grrrr!
She had caught him, yet again!
He felt the colour rise in his face.
"A perfect shot! This is definitely going to sell!" he heard Hotaru comment dryly.
That was enough to make Ruka stagger to his feet and lunge at her.
"Give me that damned camera! Now!" he yelled, losing his temper.
"Give this up? This phenomenal invention? The key to your mortification and blackmail? No way!" was the aggravating reply.
The wide grin on her face infuriated Ruka. He went and charged at her, with his fists curled into tight balls.
Unfortunately for him, Hotaru was hovering on her latest invention.
With the flick of a lever, she zoomed off, Ruka frantically waving his arms in the air trying to get a hold of her.
"I'm gonna get you back for this!" he threatened
It was midnight. Ruka searched through his things until he found what he was looking for.
Aha, there it was. The old, rotting banana he had somehow failed to eat.
He sniggered anticipatingly as a plan gradually took form in his head.
It was going to be tricky, but right now he would do almost anything for revenge.
Taking a knife and the rotting banana in his hands, he carefully cut a few slits in the mouldy fruit, gasping as the acrid stench of decomposing banana reached his nostrils.
Now that was the easy, but smelly part done.
It was payback time.
Creeping as silently as possible across the corridors, he tiptoed into the girls' dormitories, an evil smirk etched into his face.
His luck had seemed to be with him so far as he had seen no sight of a sensei or the robot caretaker, (Another one of Hotaru' s inventions!)
What he was about to do next required a lot of luck.
He took a deep breath and slowly rounded on Hotaru's door and turned the knob.
Stepping in, he wrinkled his nose in disgust.
Hotaru's room was a complete replica of her lab!
Why didn't she have any frills or lace or anything that Ruka liked?
Where were the colourful stuffed animals that any usual girl would have adorning their room?
It was completely spotless, grey and filled with half-finished contraptions. He picked his way through the bits of metal lying around and approached Hotaru's bed.
Her sleeping face looked so innocent and calm. No one would have guessed that a devil lay within, Ruka thought.
Wait; was that her camera lying next to her pillows?
Grinning mischievously, he picked it up. It might be useful.
Stealthily lifting up a part of the quilt that covered her, he slid the banana in between the sheets.
He sneaked back out of the room and waited for the explosion, Hotaru's camera ready in his grasp.
Hotaru gave a muffled grunt. She was dreaming of a piece of metal zooming towards her, ready for her to use.
With a contented sigh, she rolled over.
Squelch.
"What was that?" she wondered. Her eyes flickered open, her side feeling curiously sticky and wet.
She wriggled slightly in an attempt to make herself comfortable, but only resulting in worsening the feeling.
Glancing down at her side, she let out a shriek.
Suddenly she saw a flash of bright white light.
"Click!" went the camera.
