This is Saiki and Lotus
Hello, my name is Lotus Yamaguchi just a high school freshman. I've got long beautiful peach pink hair that reaches my lower back, soft porcelain skin, and a smile that can light up the darkest room. Well, at least that's what my sister says anyway. To me whenever I look in the mirror I just see your average girl. Although the one feature that I really like about myself is my eyes. They're pink, a different shade of pink than my hair more magenta like. I'd like to think this is my feature that really catches people attention but unfortunately no.
I'm 5'3" with a slim yet muscular build, pretty average for a girl my age who workouts but there are two things on my body that aren't average for someone my age and size. If you haven't guessed it already I'm talking about my chest. Once I hit puberty it's like mother nature shoved two volleyballs under my chest. I've reached a size E cup. To some girls, they see my dilemma as a blessing but it's really a curse.
Guys and men no matter the age perv on you no matter where you go. At school, on the train, at the store, I once even caught a guy rooting around in my sister's vegetable garden. Now I often hear things like 'Oh Lotus you must feel so blessed! So many guys wanna ask you out. You're so lucky.' WRONG! I do get asked out a lot but 98% of the guys are just pervy creeps after one thing. And it's not just men I have to deal with it's the girls too. It's hard to keep female friends when most of them throw jealous glares at you just for having a bigger chest. It doesn't help that I'm really into things guys like such as sports and manga. Other girls think I'm trying to steal all the guys for myself. Dating isn't even really on my mind, sure it'd be nice to meet a guy I really connect with but all I wanna do is just wanna play baseball and read the new issue of Manga.
Then there's the back pain. Just trying to sit up straight so I don't have a hunch in my back is a pain. For a girl such as myself who likes sports, it's hard finding a sports bra with any kind of support. Do you know how hard it is to find a supportive sports bra in my size, and even when I do they're so expensive!
I'm sorry I'm rambling, aren't I? About a problem that really doesn't have anything to do with the storyline.
Let me start over. My name is Lotus Yamaguchi. Your average high school freshman who just moved to a new city with her older sister and her sister's new fiance. This story is about how my average life became not so average.
Heart Pounding First Day
Lotus stepped out of her house her school bag slung over her shoulder.
"Okay, Lotus let's make this a good first day."
With the small pep talk, Lotus made her way to school, she only turned a corner before she ran into an obstacle.
"Ooof!"
Lotus landed on her rear end her bag falling off her shoulder.
"What did I hit?"
"Hey sorry bout that." A deep gruff voice said
"Oh, I ran into a person." Lotus looked up to apologize to the person, "GAH! Whats with that scary face!"
Before her was a tall man? He had a, dare she say it, butt-shaped chin, a scar over his eye, and a strange haircut.
The boy let out a laugh rubbing the back of his head. "Sorry for running into to you. I was looking for my buddy and didn't see you." He held out Lotus's bag. "Here's your bag."
Lotus let out a sigh of relief. "Oh, so he only looks scary."
Lotus stood up dusting her skirt off. "I'm sorry too. Thank you for getting my bag."
"Haha, no problem! Hey, that's my school uniform! I've never seen you before."
"Oh, I'm new!" Lotus gave a bow, "I'm Lotus."
"Nice to meetcha I'm Nendo!"
"Well, it was nice meeting-!"
"You should come walk with me and my best buddy to school!" Nendo said
"N-No that's fine-!"
Lotus was cut off when Nendo put his arm around her shoulder guiding her away.
"Let's go!"
"This is not how I foresaw my first day."
Nendo never did find his so-called 'best buddy', so he and Lotus made their way to school on their own.
Lotus let out a sigh as she found a seat in her new classroom.
"Nendo's nice but so loud. He's someone you have to take breaks from often."
"Hey, new buddy!"
"GAAAH!"
Lotus gave an internal shriek when Nendo's face appeared mere inches from hers.
"What the?! How did he just appear like that!? Doesn't he know his face is scary he can't just pop up like that without warning!"
"Haha looks like my new buddy is in class with me. This is great!" Nendo said
"Greeeeat."
"Haha, I can't wait for you to meet…."
Lotus just allowed Nendo to talk on nodding every once and awhile. "There's no point in stopping him. Guys like that don't stop talking even if you tape their mouths shut." Lotus's attention drifted around the room studying the students around her. "I wonder if everyone is as strange as Nendo? Nah this guy is in a league of his own."
"Hey, Kaido come meet my new friend!"
"Kaido?"
Nendo pulled up a white-haired boy. As soon as his eye met Lotus's he started freaking out shouting and pointing at Lotus.
"There's no way this girl is your friend!" Kaido yelled
"Of course she is," Nendo replied with a goofy smile.
"No way! I can't believe it! She's way too cute!" Kaido yelled
"Uhm thanks?" Lotus said
"Such a backhanded compliment, I kinda feel bad for Nendo."
"Look at her sex appeal! It's through the roof! There's no way a girl like that can be befriended by you!" Kaido shouted
"...Eh? Did he just say sex appeal? I'm gonna end this before he starts talking about something more embarrassing."
"I'm Lotus. Nice to meet you." Lotus greeted interrupting Kaido.
Kaido straightened up his cheeks going a little pink as he got a serious look on his face. "Let me introduce myself." Kaido held up his right arm. "I am the great defender Kaido!"
"Wait….is he serious?"
"Also known as The Jet Black Wings!" Kaido exclaimed
"He seriously can't be serious?"
"I fight to protect the world from the mysterious organization known as Dark Reunion. Who are trying to use my power to take over the world!" Kaido explained
"Oh my god he's seriously serious about this."
"Pink?"
Lotus heard a male's voice veering her attention away from Kaido's. She looked over at the classroom doors to see a pink haired boy wearing antenna-like hair clips.
"Pink hair!" Lotus thought
Now the pink hair wasn't what actually surprised Lotus, well it was but probably not for the reason you're thinking. With all the weird hair colors that Lotus saw she had never seen anyone else with pink hair like hers. Well, this boys hair wasn't the exact same shade of pink as hers. His hair was darker, actually it was the same color as her eyes, but still pink nonetheless. As strange as it might sound she always wanted to be friends with someone who had the same hair color as her.
"He must have been the one who said pink. He's probably never seen someone else with pink hair either."
"Buddy!"
Nendo appeared before the boy blocking Lotus's view of the pink haired boy.
"Oh look Nendo found a new victim."
"Great and my morning was so peaceful."
Lotus heard the boy and by the sound of it, he sounded annoyed by Nendo's sheer presence.
"Come and meet my new buddy!" Nendo forced the pink boy over to Lotus's desk. "Lotus this my best buddy in the world Saiki! Saiki this is the new girl and my new buddy Lotus."
To Lotus, it looked like Saiki could care less.
"I would like to make friends and I've always wanted to make a friend who shared the same hair color as me so this is my chance."
Lotus stood up from her desk and gave Saiki a bow. "Nice to meet you, Saiki. I'm Lotus. I hope we can become good friends."
"Yeah not gonna happen."
"Eh!?"
"Being friends with a cute girl like her would draw too much attention."
"EEEH?! H-How the heck is he talking without moving his mouth!?"
Lotus was trying to keep a straight face but she was freaking out on the inside. She could hear Saiki but his mouth wasn't moving.
"I can't wait for my buds to become buds. After school, we can all get ramen." Nendo said
"Why do you always have to drag me into everything you do?"
"And Nendo doesn't even notice!"
Lotus tried her best to pay attention in class but it was hard. All she could do was keep thinking about Saiki talking without moving his mouth.
Lotus kept staring at Saiki and that didn't go unnoticed by the pink haired boy.
"Why does she keep staring at me?"
"GAAH! There it goes again! What's happening?! Am I going insane!? Is this like a party trick?! Is Saiki some kind of expert ventriloquist!? Wait no that's just a dumb thought. Am I like reading his mind or something?! Am I psychic?! No that's not possible?!"
This went on for the rest of the class period.
Break time.
Students were chatting and talking, most students anyway. Lotus was still trying to process Saiki.
"I'm getting so worked up over this. I think my head's gonna explode. I know! After school, I'll just directly ask Saiki himself. It's not the usual route I'd go but this isn't an unusual case."
With that plan set in mind, Lotus calmed down just a bit just in time to hear her classmates talking about a deadly snake escaping from the local zoo.
"Did you hear a deadly snake escaped from the zoo." A boy spoke up.
"There's a poisonous snake on the loose?" A girl asked a tad worried.
"Oh greeeeat. Just what I needed to hear. Well, at least snakes aren't too bad. Typically if you leave them alone they'll leave you alone. But still who would want to risk getting bitten by a poisonous reptile."
"Are you boys sure it escaped?" A serious voice said
"Oh no…"
Kaido walked up, "An animal attack is just the kind of plan they'd come up with."
"Please stop talking while you still can."
"Fear not for I the Jet Black Wings can never be fooled by their deception. Someone must have set that snake free on purpose." Kaido said
"If you stop talking now you can still save some face."
Another classmate stood up looking at Kaido. "Wait you know the guy who did this Kaido!?"
"Some wannabe supervillain called the Jet Black Wing?" Another boy said
"Just walk away Kaido."
"No, I'm the Jet Black Wings, the hero. The villains are a secret organization called Dark Reunion. Releasing the snake is the first step in their evil plot to enslave mankind." Kaido said
"Dark Reunion?...Who?...Never heard of them." All the students sounded walking away from Kaido.
Everyone was quickly done with Kaido's story but he was not giving up that easy. He slid up behind Saiki.
"Once again the fate of the world has fallen into our superpower laps ey Saiki," Kaido said
"Wait superpower?!"
"Oh boy. He doesn't realize I actually do have superpowers."
"Wait what?!"
Lotus heard Saiki loud and clear even if no one else did.
"Does he really have powers?! Is that why I can hear his thoughts. Even if he did have powers me being able to hear his thoughts doesn't make any sense!"
"I don't like this one bit. The snake which I have named Murder-Dragoram-Snake is likely no ordinary snake." Kaido said
"That's quite the dramatic name."
"Couldn't agree more."
"It's also likely Dark Reunion genetically engineered Murder-Dragoram-Snake to specifically kill people," Kaido said
"He's fond of saying likely."
"That he is…..great now I'm having an inner conversation sparked by Saiki's thoughts."
"Were running out of time here Saiki. The world is counting on us to stop that snake-!"
"Hey, good news they caught the snake!" A boy said entering the classroom.
"Oh, that's relief where'd they find it?" A girl asked
"In front of the school. It was kind of lying on the ground half dead." He explained
Lotus could really see the shock on Kaido's face.
"Okay, why was it half dead?" Someone asked
"Some first graders had been whipping it around." The guy said
"That's one weak ass murder snake." Another guy spoke.
"Sounds like we beat Dark Reunion this time." A guy mocked
"Be careful what you say they're an all-powerful society." A girl chuckled
"Who knows what they'll do to you when they enslave mankind." A boy joked
"HAHAHAHAHAH!" Most of the students broke out into laughter.
Lotus could see Kaido's shoulders shaking as his classmates mocked him. To others, it might look like he was angry but….
"Hehe go ahead and laugh." Kaido headed for the doors. "This is the calm before the storm." Kaido's serious tone turned into whimpering, "Dark Reunion is coming. I-I tried to warn you all I swear."
"He's going to the bathroom to cry."
Lotus's mouth hung open. "N-No way! Saiki and I had the same exact thought. What the heck is going on."
Before Lotus could freakout completely something hit her, not physically but mentally. Like a warning sign had gone off in her head.
"I've never felt this feeling before."
That's when Lotus saw Saiki abruptly stand up and walk out of the room right after Kaido.
"I better go with him."
"What the? I've only known the guy for a few hours and even I know he's not the comforting other people type."
"I can't believe he thinks he's a superhero. It's like he's in elementary school." A boy said
"Man these guys are harsh."
"One time he said there was a monster in his arm." The boy who was making fun of Kaido grabbed his arm. "You guys it's starting to take over my whole body. Watch out." As he mocked Kaido his arm sleeve started to wiggle around.
"There's something in there!" A girl cried
"Huh?" The boy shook his sleeve and out fell-
"A Snake!"
"Ahhhhh!"
"It's blocking the door!"
Everyone had crawled onto their desk screaming and freaking out causing panic to ensue. Lotus just pulled her legs up and sat crisscross in her chair.
"I guess that's karma for picking on Kaido. But how did that guy not know there was a snake in his jacket?"
"I saw that snake coming."
"Great. Saiki's out of the room and yet I can still hear him, even over the loud cries of my classmates."
"I could help them, but then I'd be outing myself. So I'll just stay here until things calm down. Speaking of calming down Kaido should stay in here for a while too."
Lotus could easily imagine the crying Kaido hunched over in a bathroom stall sobbing into his hands.
"Did anyone see where it went!?"
"Somebody run out and get a teacher!"
"And risk being bitten! No way!"
"Don't they know the more they freak out the more agitated it's gonna get and the more likely it's gonna bite someone." Lotus looked at the snake and saw it hiss. "Well….it's really pissed now."
"What a bunch of dorks."
Everyone looked over to see Nendo leaning back in his chair.
"When did you get in here!?"
"Are your guy's balls still attached." Nendo joked
"Worry about yours!" A guy yelled
"Mine feel weird," Nendo said
"Well, obviously they do!"
Lotus deadpanned not sure if she was actually seeing what she was seeing. The snake had latched itself onto Nendo's crotch.
"The snakes on your crotch!" A guy squeaked out.
3...2...1
Nendo passed out standing up.
"Nendo!"
Everyone in the class freaked out more as Nendo fell back face blue drool pouring out his mouth.
"Snakes have strong jaws but I don't think it's strong enough to bite through pants."
"It didn't bite through the fabric."
"Well, Saiki confirmed it."
The snake let go of Nendo and slithered its way towards the students.
"It's coming towards us!"
The students continued to scream as the reptile moved forward.
"Ah!, now it's going after the cute new busty girl!" A boy yelled pointing over at Lotus.
"Did he really have to describe me that way."
Lotus looked down to see the snake was indeed heading her way.
"Better get on my desk. Maybe I can find a ruler or book to smack it with, too bad I left my baseball bat at home."
"Fear not fair maiden!"
"Oh, no…."
Kaido stood up getting in front of Lotus's desk putting himself between her and the snake.
"Kaido! What are you doing?!"
"All right Murder-Dragoram-Snake!"
"He's seriously sticking with that name."
"It's time you face me!" Kaido got into a martial arts stance, "The Jet Black Wings!"
"That's a real pose!"
"Let's get out of here while we still can!"
"Fake superhero vs. real snake!"
"This is getting out of hand."
"Kaido may look confident but he has no clue what he's doing."
The snake hissed and lunged heading right for Kaido. He kept a brave face on as the snake headed for his face.
"Alright snake take this! Judgment Light On!"
"Sorry, Kaido but I'll be taking care of this."
Lighting struck the snake frying it to a crisp. Everyone in the class was stunned for a second before they started to cheer for Kaido, well everyone minus the passed out Nendo and the wide-eyed Lotus.
"W-Was that lighting? Did Saiki seriously do that?" Lotus looked at the stunned Kaido. "And here I was starting to think Kaido was just a childish idiot but he's actually a brave guy."
"I was wrong."
An overconfident Kaido smirked at the teacher.
"I don't care for this new attitude of yours Kaido," Sensei said
"You better watch what you say Sensei. It's not a pleasant thing to be blasted by the Judgement Lights." Kaido said with a confident smirk.
"Alright go to the principal's office!"
"He's gotten even more immature. I take back everything I said."
"Me too Saiki, me too."
After classes ended Saiki made his way to his shoe locker.
"The sooner I switch out my shoes the sooner I can get home."
As Saiki slipped on his street shoes a hand gripped his shoulder. "Saiki there's something really urgent that I need talk to you about."
"Can't I just go home."
"Come with me right now!" Lotus did not give Saiki any chance and grabbed the boy's arm dragging him behind the school.
Lotus could hear Saiki let out a sigh in his mind. "I could just teleport away but then that'll just look suspicious. Guess I have to hear what she has to say."
Lotus dragged Saiki to a secluded area behind the school making sure no one was around.
"Saiki, there's something important I have to tell you." Lotus got a serious look on her face. "I know you're psychic."
". . . .What….did she just say?"
