Chapter 1: Watashitachi no Reason|Our Reason

She sat on the bench with a can of root beer and a couple of ecchi mangas on her hands. It was still early in the afternoon, classes were still ongoing yet her she was, enjoying such leisure time with an emotionless face. It was her daily routine alongside with her friends to go to the most secluded arcade center in Uminari City, the Riot Force 6. But it seems luck was not on her side today because the fact that her friends were currently on the Principal's Office for some lecturing leave her with no choice but to spend time at the courtyard while waiting for them. This is the daily life of Fate Testarossa Harlaown, your not-so-typical straight A Student with the nick of skipping classes.

"Damn those three... how dare they make me wait…" the Blondie murmured with her eyes still attached on a certain page of the manga she was reading. The things she hated the most (next to Hayate's whining) was waiting for things even if it was inevitable and obviously, making her wait.

"Oi Testarossa!" Yagami Signum exclaimed with her ever cool demeanor

"Fate-senpai!" their underclassman, Teana Lanster, called her name to catch attention

"Fate-chan sorry to keep you waiting~" a girl using a strong Kansai accent, that goes by the name Yagami Hayate, waved her hand with a huge grin on her face

"You three owe me some cream soda for making me wait. Seriously, what the hell is up with that 'Double Yagami, Lanster, please go to the Principal's office' thingy?" the Blondie rolled her eyes in annoyance by the recent affair her that friends engaged with.

"Those intimidating looks Principal Harlaown had when she's serious is really scary and… intimidating"

"Signum-senpai, you repeated the 'intimidating' the second time. Though I must agree, being a Junior High School student is really tough sometimes"

"Your Stepdad is really scary sometimes, Fate-chan…" for some reasons, Fate cringed the moment she heard Hayate's remarks. Ever since her mother married her long-time friend Lindy Harlaown, Fate all of a sudden got hostile towards the poor woman that showed good intentions towards her. Every given day, Lindy would do something for both Fate and her older twin, Alicia, with pure intentions on mind. While Alicia and Lindy became close overnight, the same thing didn't happened to Fate and instead, she built a wall a surrounding herself that not even a wrecking ball can wreck.

"Master Hayate…"

"Senpai!"

"Ehh?"

"Enough talk, Vice must be waiting for us." Without further ado, Fate went to the groups secret passage towards the parking late where another friend of theirs is waiting. Exploring the passage even more, they eventually headed towards the parking lot in no time. A man on his 20's was leaning on a 4-seater black BMW Sports Car, which they considered as their getaway vehicle.

"Yo Vice-senpai!"

"Sorry we took so long"

"Yeah hehehe sorry Vice-kun~"

"Not at all" Vice then turned off the car alarm and opened the car door for the three ladies. When all of them had entered the car, Vice retracted the car roof turned on the radio for some jam along their way. It was a common occurrence that Vice would deliberately choose a Hip Hop song from them to jam on, excluding Fate who loves to stare at the scenery along the way.

"So, where should we head to? Straight to the hideout or pass the Number's lair?" Vice asked with a serious face

"It would be dangerous if we pass them considering on what happened recently to Shamal and Shario. Though I want revenge to them for hurting the one that I love, sadly I'm not ready to face them as I might kill them." Signum curled her fist and fumed with anger the moment she remembered the face Shamal had when she was hurt.

"We talk at the base, for now step on it Vice" Hayate commanded

The atmosphere between them was rather heavy when they left the campus. No one even dared to talk at that moment even when their supposed music jam was on. Until a certain song reached Hayate's ears…

She moves her body like a cyclone

And she makes me wanna do it all night long

Going hard when they turn the spotlights on

Because she moves her body like a cyclone

Just like a cyclone

"Fudge… Why must this song play…?" Fate face palmed herself

"Who cares? This is my jam!" With a loud voice, Hayate started to sing with all her might, not even care the stares of the people who heard her in the streets.

She moves her body like a cyclone

And she makes me wanna do it all night long

Going hard when they turn the spotlights on

Because she moves her body like a cyclone

A mighty cyclone

"Let her be for now Testarossa. That song reminds her of her unrequited love for a certain person…"

"You mean Rein-senpai right?"

"I though Leader was over the girl?"

"You're actually wrong Vice. I heard from Signum that Hayate would say her name while she is asleep."

"I see…"

"And I think Master Hayate formed it just because of Rein"

Shawty got looks and shawty got class

Shawty got hips and shawty got ass

When she hit the stage she drop it down low like

"That part of the song… is she supposed to be reminded by Rein-senpai too?"

"Master Hayate is a closeted pervert."

"The nerve of it…"

After that not so pleasant jam Hayate had, they arrived at Riot Force 6 game arcade, the main base and hideout for the members of the "Jäger" Gang. A gang that Hayate formed as a junior high school freshman, out of boredom and with no purpose at all. Up until recently, all the gang members did was brawl with other gangs for the sake of infiltrating their bases or taking moneys just to buy things that they wanted recently. But with a newbie gang called "Numbers" showed up, their reputation in being the most badass gang decreased, as if they were dethroned. On top of it, the Numbers started attacking their members randomly that prompted the "Lead Hunters" to make a move and skip classes even more.

"Now that we reached the base, I think it's about time we discuss on what we'll we do next. As you all know, I created and formed the gang "Jäger" out of boredom, with no purpose at all. I tried to recruit members by using boards and other means through internet with the codename "Swift". Though our gang is only on its 1st year, we successfully became the most badass gang because of the brawls we had, until the Numbers showed up. Now tell me your ideas on what is the main purpose of Numbers." Hayate explained their whole situation

"Revenge might be a good reason for them. Maybe the Numbers were formed by the fallen members of the gangs we had a brawl through the times, formed for the sake of getting their sweet revenge" Teana suggested

"I heard their leader is currently attending the Uminari All-Girls School." Vice mentioned

"If that is the case, then maybe we should transfer there for the sake of spying on who might be the boss of gang. Though for others it might be a shallow reason to transfer but, once you entered the world called Gang brawling, you will never be satisfied until you see enough blood" Fate exclaimed with a cold and serious face that was rare for them to see.

"A childhood friend of mine is currently going to the said school so I have a reason I can give to my parents for transferring"

"Teana is all good. What about you Fate-chan?"

"I can manage to give a good reason for transferring as long as Alicia wouldn't get in my way…"

"Want me to handle her Testarossa?"

"No, don't. Although my sister is bitchy, I don't want to involve her with our gang ways. Up until now, our gang's existence was never revealed to the police because we didn't involve the innocent. But that might change once we did, not to mention when we get that bitch involved."

"I was able to hack Gil-ojiisan's database of the notorious gang so I guess we did manage to escape the police for now…"

"So I think it's settled about our transferring plans?" Teana asked

"I just remembered that I have a friend in that school. She's the school nurse there and might help us track down students with a low profile. I think that I also need to upgrade those devices y'all had since she mentioned to me once that the Local Area Network in that school was rather "security filled" that she described"

"Yosh. Vice will manage to pull some strings for us so I guess all we have to do is ready our transfer credentials and we're good to go."

"Welcome to the world of gangs"
