Ryuuko x Inumuta

MORE ABOUT YOU

Houka Inumuta always tried to solve the enigma that was Ryuuko Matoi. He had gathered countless amounts of data and even forfeited his battle with her just to save all of that. Yet, she still continues to surprise him. He wanted to figure her out like a Rubiks Cube. He wanted to solve her, carefully and swiftly.

"Ryuuko-chan!" His sharp ears picked up the now familiar sound of Mako's sharp clicking of shoes. He turned his head to the direction of the sound and saw Ryuuko spinning Mako and standing her up promptly like it was no big deal.

He continued to look on, seeing Ryuuko give Mako another lecture about not doing that to her anymore and Mako simply looking at her with this big smile on her face, seeming not to care at all. It was Routine One which was an ordinary day for them.

Routine One would start with the sermons, and then a walk towards their homeroom and then a few moments later the bell would ring. Every so often, a Two-Star student would challenge her, and they would lose, eventually. He knew all that with a quick type on his computer. Inumuta suddenly felt a slight breath on his shoulder.

"Ne-ne, it looks like Mr. Doggie is keeping a rather close eye on someone, ey?" Nonon said, smirking at him. He looked calmly at her.

"I was simply hoping for more data about Matoi. She seems more interesting these days after she managed to beat you, Jakuzure." He stated, coolly and composedly. Nonon rolled her eyes with her smirk growing even wider.

"Bite me. The next time you say that I'll-"

"You'll change the lens of my glasses into non-prescription ones. Yes, I know." He said, straightening his glasses. Her eyes twitched, irritated.

"What is it with you lately? You're starting to notice the transfer student a bit more." Nonon smirked as she said this. She raised her eyebrows. "Mr. Doggie, do you like the transfer student?"

"No. I am not interested in this thing you call love, nor am I interested in any of the snake's unintellectual comments. There is no space on my computer for such barbaric data." He said, giving her a poker-face. Her face scrunched up.

"I just don't get what is all the hype about this Ryuuko. She's just a transfer student." She said, huffing. Inumuta looked up to see Ryuuko and Mako walking towards their next homeroom class. She caught sight of him and gave him her signature devilish smirk. He let out a small huff of breath. He closed his laptop, looked calmly at Nonon and gave her a small smile.

"Matoi isn't just a transfer student." He said. He stood up and calmly walked towards his scheduled class, leaving a questioning Nonon behind.


"Ryuuko-chan! Look! Mom packed us her special croquettes today!" Mako said, grinning widely at Ryuuko. She poked Ryuuko and began jumping up and down. Ryuuko smiled at her best friend.

"Great! Your mom's croquettes are the best!" She said, taking a bite of out of the mystery croquettes that Sukuyo always prepared for the two of them. Gazing at one in mid-air, she was about to take a bite when-

NOM!

A surprised expression formed on her face, seeing the Elite Four's Houka Inumuta munching thoughtfully on the croquettes which, just a few moments ago, were on her chopsticks. Inumuta's mouth turned into a small line-somewhere between a smirk and a grimace.

"Wh-what are you doing here?" Ryuuko said, immediately gripping on her glove. She felt Senketsu nudge just a bit. Mako's eyes grew wide.

"Commoner's food? It tastes peculiar and yet, satisfying at the same time, Matoi and Makanshoku." Inumuta said with a tight line plastered behind the thick cloth that covered his mouth.

"Eh? Inu-kun is here?" Mako said, chewing on her food, wide-eyed. Inumuta gave a slight sigh and pushed up his glasses. He walked over to them, and sat beside Ryuuko, pulling out his laptop.

"Inumuta, I swear if you-" Ryuuko started. He gave her a cold stare, and his uniform opened up to let him speak.

"Calm down Matoi. I just wanted to talk." He said, typing quickly on his laptop. Her face scrunched up and she dropped the topic, munching furiously on her croquettes.

"Eh? Inu-kun wants to talk to Ryuuko-chan?" Mako nudged Ryuuko playfully. "I'll be leaving you two alone then! I got to handle some business Ryuuko –chan!"

"Huh? Mako, w-" In a blink of an eye, Mako was gone. Ryuuko felt Inumuta laughing ever so slightly behind the thick cloth of his uniform. She turned to look at him, quite irritated.

"What is it that you want?" She said, a tight line plastered on her face. Inumuta looked at her, calm and cool as always.

"You should know that I want nothing more in this world but data. Though this data, concerns a homo sapien who name is Matoi Ryuuko." He said, typing away once more on his laptop. Ryuuko sighed.

"What kind of data could you possibly want? Hell, the moment I stepped into this school, you've been collecting data enough to program five computers if it were to run on data." She said, sighing. He was quite amused at this, quietly typing that sentence into his data about Ryuuko. She took a glance at his laptop, seeing an entire file created just for her. She rolled her eyes.

"The data that I want?" He gave a small chuckle. He leaned closer to Ryuuko until his face was inches from hers. Her face grew a shade of red. She clutched her Scissor Blade tightly. "The data that I want is far from my clutches, Matoi. Only you can help me get this little piece of data."

He was starting to get dangerously close to Ryuuko's face. In fact close enough that Ryuuko could clearly see his green eyes from behind the glasses. She couldn't stand it anymore. She aimed the Scissor Blade at Inumuta with her eyes narrowing. He sighed.

"Stop the talking, Inumuta. What data do you want? Take it and go away." Ryuuko said, scowling at him. He let out an amused huff. He opened his laptop again, and started typing. Ryuuko was silent, waiting for his answer.

A few moments later, the bell rang. He shut his laptop without a word. He looked at Ryuuko, and gave her an intimidating smirk.

"Matoi Ryuuko, I want you to spend the day with me." He said, calmly.

"Wh-what?" She said, her eyes growing wide. The Scissor Blade tumbled on the floor at her shock. This only seemed to amuse Inumuta a bit more.

"You heard me, Matoi. I want to find out just what you do outside these school grounds. I want to find out how you train, who you spend your time with, where you go home. I want to know everything." He said, and with that he walked away, leaving a speechless and dazed Ryuuko behind him.
