Authors note: This is purely made out of boredom, with no real drive for writing it. But I do it anyway!
Bully is an old-ish ps2 game you don't need to play to read this story, but you can google stuff if you want a better picture on what's going on. BTW, this takes place in the early 90s (or 80s) . If you don't like it, I don't mind, because this story was fun as hell to write. Okay, I'm done taking about sh** you probably don't care about.

Some mistakes ahead. The first 4 chapters (Technically, just chapter 1 and 2 because I part things in half a lot) were kinda jotted down. I'll fix em' later.
Chapter Uno
Welcome to Tenchi Academy-Have fun, idiot-
It was Monday, 7:00 AM at Tenchi's all girl boarding school. And an unknown vehicle pulled up to the locked entrance of the school gates. Hayate Kurogane was dropped of at the front of the school. She was let in by a prefect, after getting the you better not cause trouble speech. In which she tried her best not to pass out on the side walk during.
The Tenchi All girls boarding school consisted of a large eye-catching campus with a large main building in the center of everything. When you walk in, you're surrounded by an expensive stone floor and what resembled a labyrinth of turns, but it felt almost impossible to get lost in this school.
Yawning loudly, Hayate looked at a small yellow notepad that had directions to her dorm. She took the right as directed and without looking, bumbed into a taller girl, dropping the notepad on the ground.
"Huh?" The short girl looked up and faced the smirk of a taller girl.
"What do you mean, 'huh'?" She retorted rudely and pushed her a few feet back. "You are a new kid. And we give new kids a Tenchi welcoming." But she looked anything but welcoming.
Hayate stumbled back from the push and regained her posture, "What? As in a cake?" She asked dumbly. making it even more obvious that the only harassment she's ever endeared was from her sister. Or her mother.
The girl clenched her fists and smiled, "Ahem...Cake? You mean pound cake." She joked and cracked her knuckles. "Yeah, I just made an obscure reference to cake and beating you up. At the same time, short stack."
Hayate looked around and saw another crowd of four girls wearing white polos with the tenchi logo slowly gather around her and they also didn't look very welcoming. "I think I get it."
"Hope you do-" The girl threw a sudden punch, which Hayate dodged, making her fall forward with the intense swing.
"Ouch!" She snarled and stood up off of her knees and abruptly turned around. "Let's kick her ass!" She demanded. Her posse started closing in on Hayate, then a prefect ran in between them with her hands out.
"What did you say?!" The woman demanded.
The group bolted at the sound of the school authority figure. Once they were out of sight, the authority figure turned to Hayate. "Where's your uniform young lady!? Go change immediantly!"
Hayate nodded obediently and ran into the dorm. Once inside, she stood at the doorway and looked for her notepad in her sweater pockets and came to a realization, "Oh wait. I dropped it."
She looked around and followed her gut memory... And entered the first room she saw right upon taking a few steps into the building.
The pink haired girl walked into the dorm room. Upon entering, she saw a girl with caramel bangs and small brown ponytail, wearing a white polo shirt and red gym shorts hanging upside down from the top bunk with her arms crossed.
"Sup roommate." She said as grabbed the bar on the bunk and got down. "Name's Momoka Kibi. Hayate Kurogane, right?" She asked, though didn't wait for an answer, "I'm your roommate."
The girl felt proud of herself upon hearing her name and felt like her luck was turning. "Nice to meet you." Hayate piped.
"Yeah, yeah." Her newfound roommate began to leave the room. "Follow me. Principle told me I have to show ya 'round." Momoka said with some enthusiasm. Not a lot, but just enough so she she didn't sound bored, which she didn't want the shorter girl assuming.
"O-oh! Right. I'm completely lost, since I came like a month late and all." Hayate muttered. She sounded like she hated this school already, and she honestly did. What's not to hate by now?
"Wait!" Her roommate halted. "You need your uniform on." Momoka remembered and stopped Hayate from leaving. "It's in that wardrobe." She pointed at a brown wardrobe to the left wall of the room.
"To narnia~"
Momoka chuckled. "Hehe, you're a little weirdo, y'know that."
They had made their way to the main building. It was a two story, locker filled, school building with all kinds of students. Some looked harmless. Others looked mildly intimidating.
"Welcome to our craphole. Let's walk." said Momoka as she walked to a wide area filled with blue lockers. "Don't really know whatta show ya." She scratched the back of her neck in embarrassment. Unsatisfied with the amount of 'showing' she supplied towards her roommate.
Hayate was clad in khaki shorts and a white dress shirt with a blue vest. The blue vest sported the tenchi logo on the top right.
The two roommates walked through the hallways with an awkward silence.
"I like your accent...?" Hayate complinted. Unsure on how to start a conversation as they walked.
"Thanks, I'm from the Bronx." Momoka proudly pointed out with a thumb to her chest. "It's my homeland... That I don't ever want to go back to. But still great."
"No kidding." Hayate nodded.
Hayate looked around and when her eyes darted to the right, she saw a commotion going on far into the hallway.
Momoka also saw what had caused the ruckus and backed into a locker. She signalled for Hayate to run into a trash can next to the locker by pointing at it. Which she did, before she herself went into the luckily unlocked locker. "I know, it's gross, but just do it." She commanded when Hayate looked hesitant."
Not questioning if it was nesscisary, Hayate hesitated, but dove in headfirst anyway. "What's going on?" She whispered loudly from the trash can once she finished rustling her way onto her crouching feet over the trash.
"That right there, is Ayana Mudou. She has the whole school against her right now. See what I mean?" Momoka explained with her voice leaving an echoed muffle from being in the locker. "Those girls are greasers. Kids who live in the 50s."
Before Hayate could comment anything, Momoka continued.
"They aren't time travellers." The roommate assured in annoyance as she looked forward and back at the fight about to go down.
A girl with long dark hair, glasses, a blue school hoodie and uniform khaki pants was about to fight with three girls in leather jackets.
One on the girls laughed leaned foreword, inches away from the seemingly taller student. "Mudou Ayana, long time since I wanted the school to know I kicked your ass." She taunted.
"Yeah, with the help of two friends. You are pathetic." Ayana sneered as she pushed her back. "How about this; I let you scum take a free swing at me. I won't fight back. I might knock you around, but I won't punch or kick any of you." Ayana said with a gleam in her glasses.
"Ya'just dug your own grave bozo!" One of the greasers yelled as she threw a punch aimed at Ayana's face.
Ayana dodged the punch. She lazily jumped, moved and blocked any attack thrown at her. One of the girls, who was obviously exausted, jumped up and put her fists above her head in an attempt to slam her.
Though the targeted girl moved out of the way. She purposely stood in front of the boiler room with the door slightly open. Resulting in the girl crashing into the room and was heard falling down some stairs. Ayana closed the door behind her.
Another girl reached for her glasses. Ayana grabbed her hand and twisted it out of the way.
The glasses girl grabbed the hem of pants, hip to hip, picked her up, and rammed her, butt first into a trash can.
The last girl trembled in place. Ayana walked behind her and head locked her with one arm. She spit in her other hand and rubbed it into the resisting girls face before letting her go and watching her run away.
"Bullying the bully..." Mused Hayate, who's forehead, pink hair and ahoge popped out of the trashcan. Surprisingly going unnoticed. "Awesome."
Ayana smiled to herself and made her way to wherever she was going.
"Wow. That last one was gross." Momoka said with a snicker as she got out of the locker. "She is strong, rumors are actually true for once."
"Moka, why were they after her?" Hayate asked with a surprisingly interested face as she tried to get out of the trash bin with her hands on the edges.
"She has the whole school turned against her for stuff she did. Some students think kickin'er ass will bring them glory or somethin'. I don't keep up. But enough about that, let's go over here!" Momoka stated as she grabbed Hayate by the shoulders and pulled her out of the bin.
They moved around more and saw the girl Hayate encountered earlier.
"See, that's the ass from earlier." Momoka whispered as she bent her knees down to Hayate's level and covered her mouth with her left.
"How to you know about that?"
"Long story. But let's break into her locker."
Hayate watched as she left her locker and walked in another direction, then her attention went back to her locker. "How? I can't even open mine."
"Just rndomly turn the lock to the right slowly. You will hear a small click, then you repeat by turning to the left and back right." Momoka explained.
"Uhh..."
"Just try it." She insisted.
'Try it, she says.' Hayate walked up to blue locker and slowly began turning the dial on the lock in random directions. In a matter of seconds, she opened the locker and pulled out a blue cap with the Tenchi logo and closed it.
Momoka gaped at her, "How'tha hell? On your first try? You're a genius..." She thought about that statement for a second, "Maybe not..
A prefect (authority figure; compare to judges in HXB) ran up and grabbed Momoka's arm roughly. "I saw that you troublemakers!" She yelled. One hand clung to Momoka's arm and the other pointed at Hayate menacingly.
"Kurogane, hide!" Momoka yelled and struggled to be let go of.
Hayate nodded and ran off. She jumped into a trash can again and waited. "Oh gosh, oh gosh..." She repeated in fear and bit her nails.
After a minute, she heard Momoka knock on the side with her foot. 'How did she escape...?' Hayate pondered. 'She probably pled the 5th.'
Momoka grabbed her shoulders and pulled her out again. "Last part of the tour, the caff!"
The two made a trip into the cafeteria and stopped at the entrance. Momoka immediantly began pointing at scrawny looking girls in green school vests sitting on a table playing chess.
"Nerds. They have the library turf and are my clique's enemy besides the jocks. They're split into branches; the main branch are the sneaky bastards with harmless exteriors. The side branch are just regulars classified as nerds for small interests or being a prodigy on a subject."
"I see."
Momoka pointed at girls standing leisurely in blue vests socializing. "Preps. They're just bitchy rich kids."
"Are all like that?" Hayate asked and looked at the group.
"No, not an upperclassman, Maki, was it? Yeah." She pointed at girls dressed similar to herself standing and leaning by a wall. "I'm in that clique. They're the bullies. They don't have much attention a this school, and are all bite, no bark."
"Isnt it the other way around."
"No."
"Oh." Hayate looked back at the girls. She mostly stared at their uniforms then looked at Momoka's. "Wait, you're with the girl who's locker I stole from?"
"We're not friends. But she's in my clique," Momoka corrected and pointed at girls in leather jackets and had hands full of grease, mostly from coming fresh out of shop class. "Greasers, Mudou's old clique. They look tough, but are just weak girls that I sorta find cool. They are obsessed with bikes and cars...So they hang by the autoshop." She put a hand to her chin. "Hmm, like Fonzie wannabe's."
"That explains the grease." Hayate mumbled nasally as she pinched the bridge of her nose.
"See them," She pointed a girls in football jackets and uniforms who sat on a table, two were arm wrestling. "Avoid them at all costs. They're jocks, they rule this school, literally. Our principle is also the football coach and only lets sophomores who are tough into the team."
"They would be the hardest to overthrow." Hayate reckoned.
"Yeah they would." Momoka said dully. Unmotivated to react at the suspicious starement. A ringing was heard. "Well that's the bell. I don't have any classes right now, but you better hurry." Momoka waved at Hayate as she ran off.
"Thank you for this informational tour." Hayate thanked as she ran, sounding more like an idiot than she did thankful. But all in all, she would be in a good mood for the rest of the day from this.
After class, 10:00 PM.
Hayate walked out of the main building. Only to be met by the headmaster, Amachi Hitsugi, who stared off at the sky. "Hello, young one." She greeted without looking at her. "You're the new student I was informed would attend regularly starting today." The woman sounded very wise with her voice. It was serious, yet somehow... Laid back. 'No way.' Hayate slapped her forehead and the thought off.
"Uhh, hello and correct M'am." The short girl responded nervously. Honestly, the principle is kinda intimidating. Hayate stared at her face and pondered something, 'She looks like a high schooler. Why is she the principle?'
Principle Amachi interupted her thoughts. "Fine day out, isn't it?" She asked in admiration for the conditions of the day. Which consisted of a blue sky that you couldn't help but feel good around.
"Yeah." Hayate replied in astonishment for the the principle. Sounding almost breathless.
"Now, if you don't mind, I'm gonna go be bored in my office." Hitsugi with a yawn as she made her way into the building.
Hayate stared at where she once was standing and snapped her mind awake. "What just happened?" She asked herself.
"Hey, I know you stole from my locker." said the bully from earlier. She appeared once again, but this time wielding a wooden slingshot.
"Oh ho! I thought you wouldn't notice." Hayate grinned and joked as she reached into her back pocket and slipped the hat onto her head. But causing her hair to cover her eyes, which she quickly brushed away with her hands.
The girl had aimed the slingshot down at Hayate, "Ha. Ha. Funny. This is what we do to new kid thieves around here." She pulled it all the way and caught Hayate in the chest with a small rock.
"Ouch! That hurt!" Hayate clutched her chest. The girl began running rather quickly. She frowned in anger, "Not this time you don't!" Hayate began running after her. She jumped over rails of the side of the school porch and bolted.
After she lost sight of her, she heard a student yell, "New kid, she went that way!" And pointed to the shop class area.
Hayate thanked her in a rush and began running into the autoshop alley. After pushing past a group of greasers. She saw her closing a garage door from the other side of an open garage building.
Hayate ran into the building and slid under before she closed it and stood up. She looked around and saw all kinds of junk you find in a junkyard.
With all exits blocked, the slingshot girl stood on top of a pile of junk with the weapon in hand. The other girls had begun attacking Hayate as she shot the weapon. Leaving her in a rut.
"How would you like to be handicapped!?" One of the girls on the ground taunted.
"It would suck!" Hayate turned and jumped backwards. "Woah!" A baseball bat flew across her line of sight. She wiped sweat off her brow as she kicked upwards, knocked it out of her hands, caught it, fumbled with it and quickly swung it back. (Nice sequence, eh?) Catching her in the side and successfully leaving her to groan on the floor.
The other, and now more angry looking girl charged at her. "You ain't gonna get away with that!"
She rammed the shorter girl onto the floor, but Hayate slipped out of her grasp before any punches took place and rolled out of the hold. She stood up and took the lid from two trash cans and ran up to her as she stood up and used them like cymbals on her head. A crash sound emited, knocking her out.
Right when she dropped the trash lids, a rock from the slingshot hit her on the neck. "Forget about me, dillweed!?"
Hayate took the pain from any other rock as she got an idea. "I just made fire crackers in chemistry! I can use those." She beamed to herself. She pulled out a self light fire cracker and struck it on her thumbnail. Hayate looked at spark that slowly ran down the string and right before it detonated, she threw it at the girl.
POP!
"Wooooah!" The small explosion had caused her to knock down the pile of junk and lie on the floor and on her stomach. "I'll get you for this..." She groaned while sprawling on the tar floor.
Hayate reached down and picked up the slingshot that landed a foot away from her hand. "I'll take that. Thank you very much~" she sang. The short girl left the alley and found herself in the parking lot, still studying the wooden weapon. She bumped into a taller figure in a blue school jacket. Dang it, not again." She looked up and met the face of Ayana Mudou. The girl she saw earlier.
"What do you mean 'not again'? I just wanted to say 'that you did back there was cool'. I guess you earned that slingshot." The dark haired girl said casually.
Hayate stopped walking away. She turned around, "Miss Tough lady, will you help me take the throne of all groups here?" She asked as if it was completely normal.
Ayana's eyes widened for a few seconds after she took her words in, "W-what?" She studdered and regained her calm demeanour, "I mean, no. I've tried it before. Now everybody hates me and I'm on the verge of expulsion."
"But this will be different. I promise!" Hayate pleaded as she fell down onto her knees and grabbed her legs.
Ayana kicked her off. "Sorry kid. Won't work." She began to walk away. After a few steps she stopped. "Or maybe you can prove yourself. Here's what I want you to do..." She continued with a smirk and turned around.
The pink haired girl on the floor looked up and smiled.
Well this is escalating quickly.
Tenchi Academy Dorm, 2:14 PM.
Momoka tiredly stood next to an energetic Hayate in the dorm's hallway. They stared at the fire alarm, before Momoka gave the shorter girl a fire extinguisher she had been holding under her arm.
"You sure you wanna do this?" Momoka asked warningly.
Hayate had the most confident smile on her face as she held the fire extinguisher and pulled the pen. "Never been more sure about anything in my entire life. Well except for this one time whe-"
"I'll take that as a yes," Momoka pulled the fire alarm and ran into their dorm, that happened to be right next to it."Break a leg, or...don't." She cheered on uneasily before closing the door.
"Who set that alarm off?" Voices were heard complaining.
The alarm had sounded by then and students of many cliques had began tiredly began making their way outside. Before any reached the door Hayate unloaded the fire extinguisher.
Every student in the hall was covered in white dust. She had blasted about twenty before it ran out of stuff.
"Who did that?" A student yelled. The girls coughed and sputtered as Hayate grabbed marbles from her pocket and threw them around. She jumped into a trash can as students began slipping and falling. "Which little prankster is doing this!" Many demanded. Hayate was giggling the whole time.
When she was convinced the coast was clear, Hayate popped out of the trash can and ran to her dorm. She began banging on the door as Momoka opened it and closed it behind her.
Ayana had asked Hayate to single handedly (besides Momoka pulling the FA for her) pull the fire alarm at 2:00 AM, so not all, but quite a few would run out and she would prank them with a fire extinguisher and marbles.
And so the little idiot did as such.
The next day, Ayana sat with her roommate, Jun, in the cafeteria, with the latter being the one eating lunch. After a while, Hayate walked in and sat down with them.
Ayana's roommate had put her hand out in front of her. "Name's Jun Kuga. So you're the little OP that pranked a quarter of the dorm. Me and Ayana had seen. Literally, we were watching the whole time from the couch across from the door in the living room. Hahaha, awesome!" She said with a laugh. Deciding not to neglect her food, Jun grabbed her milk and began drinking it normally.
"Hehe, yeah." Hayate agreed in embarrassment to the praise. "I'm awesome."
Ayana Mudou had smiled approvingly at her. "You actually did it, I'm impressed. Maybe we can take over this school."
Jun spluttered the milk she was drinking. "What!?"
After a while of explaining...
"I see, so you guys are just gonna kiss up or piss off a faction. Then beat up their leader somehow." Jun concluded and sat with her chin on her hand and elbow on the table. "Why exactly?"
"I dont really know anymore. But we're starting with the bullies. Since this idiotic kid apparently has them pissed off already. She fought off a small part of the group, and pranked the rest." Ayana informed as she pointed at Hayate with her thumb.
Hayate did in fact have the faction on her tail. Every time one saw her they attacked. Her best option was to stick by Momoka or Ayana. They apeared more intimidating than a short girl with pink hair who is presumed idiot to many already on her first week. Though Momoka hasn't been seen in a while since Hayate's last stunt. And when she is, she doesn't want to destroy the short girl. Maybe the Bronx born was more laid back than she thought for not attacking her in the first place.
"When do you think we can take the leader?" Ayana asked Hayate. Who was spaced off at the moment and didn't answer.
Ayana closed her eyes, obviously annoyed by this, she reached across the table and grabbed the base of Hayate's ahoge and banged her head against the table. Hayate's head flew back up. "Ouch!" She yelped and rubbed her forehead.
"I thought you were dying or something. I asked when do you think we can take the leader?" Ayana restated with a bit of annoyance at the girl's short attention span.
Hayate went back to normal at the question. "When I find out who it is." She affirmed and slammed her fist on the table where her head once was,
With her forehead turning red.
The glasses girl chuckled. "Pfft, easy it's-" Ayana couldn't finish as Jun's hand was slapped over her mouth. Ayana looked over at Jun and saw her mouth the words: 'When the time comes.'
She didn't understand, but nodded anyway. She knew the Kuga was smarter than she came across. But still, she slapped the Kuga across the face so she could get her hand off.
I hate it when I read back on this and I find a mistake. Then I'm like: "Aw sh**! This is embarrassing."
Suzuki Sonoe and Aida aren't in this story, huh? Meh, who cares. Ayana kicked her ass three times. Yes, three times. Volume 15 baby! Why should she do it again?
I'm totally kidding, I just forgot.
