Best Friends Forever?

Chapter 2: Student Council

"That was a pretty bold speech coming from Kurokami-san, neh?" said the petite girl as she gorged herself with what looked like a large ham. "She must be good at talking to large groups of people."

Although it wasn't very clear over the chewing and munching of the savoury meat somehow Zenkichi understood her. Maybe it was because their deep spiritual connection or one of Shiranui's abnormalities but one thing was for sure as those two were the best of friends.

"Ha, that's impossible. She doesn't talk to groups of people; she talking above them like some sorta god." Zenkichi explained nodding deservedly.

"Well, whatever she did, it definitely had to work to get a whopping 98% of the votes." Shiranui smirked at the finished ham and reached into her bottomless bag of lunches to fill her bottomless appetite. "Even I voted for the little monster princess, ya know."

Zenkichi gaped at the thought. The two have been known to despise each other's very existence but to actually persuade "The No No sense Shiranui" was no easy feat.

As the BFFs continued their conversation, they began to walk to the door when he struck a pose facing his little companion and declared, "This time it'll be different! I'm not going to submit to that monster of a woman anymore!" Unfortunately for Zenkichi, little did he know that fate had some different plans for him.

"Ohoh, You shouldn't really stop it with our rebellious outbursts, Zenkichi-kun~." Medaka chimed as she stood in the same pose when the slide door opened.

A sweat drop appeared on everyone's head as Medaka Kurokami, the newly elected president, swiftly knocked their classmate, Zenkichi Hitoyoshi, of his feet, dragging him out of the classroom and into the halls.

"Save me, Shiranui-channn!" plead Zenkichi as he struggled to free himself of his childhood friend's grasp. Soon giving in after realizing it was pointless with Medaka's super strength.

"Gomen Zenkichi, you're on your own for this one." Shiranui replied smiling, while sitting on the pile of empty fried chicken buckets and chicken bones.

"NNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!..." he screamed in agony until his cries become inaudible to even Shiranui with the rustling of her classmates.

The class took little time to register what they had just seen and then returned to their regular lives. After all, it was pretty much overshadowed by Medaka's goddess-like beauty that even she envied at times. As Shiranui continued to stare at door, eyes glued to it, as if expecting Zenkichi to return from the evil woman's clutches unscathed. At that point, a teen had walked up behind her and was supposedly staring down at her which wasn't that hard since she was basically 4 feet tall. With his messy, brown hair cascading over his closed eyelids and glasses which made no sense to her as there was no point in wearing them if his eyes weren't open he seemed quite normal if you asked her.

"Oy Shiranui-san, what exactly is the relationship between the student council president and Hitoyoshi-kun?" the tall teen questioned curiously as he loomed over Shiranui, hiding her under his large shadow.

"Kukukuku, getting interested in those two, huh Hyuga-kun?" She chuckled softly, "Well let's just say they've had some history with each other." Her eyes darkening to a violet whirl of disgust and hatred; her toothy grin sharpening into disarray of daggers left the teen dumbstruck. She regretting the words leaving her mouth; she regretted losing to that woman but most of all abandoning Zenkichi. She began to chuckle louder mimicking a deranged, psycho killer watching their victim's broken and defiled carcass. A tear soon followed, flowing down to the bottom of her chin but thankfully everyone was too distracted by her sudden change to notice.

The student named Hyuga hesitated for a bit, paralyzed by Shiranui's transformation. He had heard rumours that she was crazy, a loon, "The Devil incarnated" but didn't think she was to this extent. Sensing the tremendous pressure, Class 1 coward in fear of this "new" Shiranui, some even fainting and going into shock as a response to her true nature.

Realizing she was acting out of character, Shiranui's insane persona immediate reverted back to her once cheerful self, giving the class a cute "hehe~" before starting to eat one of the many boxes of donuts she held stacked in her hand.

"…Scary ... How does Zenkichi stay best friends with her after seeing…that..?!" the entire class thought to themselves before they slowly returned to their previous conversations, avoiding any contact with Shiranui, that Medaka and Zenkichi skit interupted, the man they all found new respect in.

-000-

"Open the door!" demanded Zenkichi as he attempted to open the locked doors of the student council office. "I won't help you, Student Council President!"

"Now, Now Zenkichi, there are no need for formalities. Just call me like you always do." Medaka insisted annoyed by Zenkichi, "We've been childhood friends for some time."

Zenkichi sighed, "Yeah…for 13 long years…"

For the past 13 years that he's known Medaka, he's never gotten tired of her. Even when she rushed ahead leaving poor him behind, he's always managed to get back up and tailing behind her using nothing but his determination and hard work. Zenkichi had lots fond and…not so fond memories with Medaka Kurokami ever since they met at that hospital daycare.

"What's wrong Zenkichi? Do want to take a bath together?" Medaka asked as she leaned close to his face to see his expression.

"W-what are you t-talking about?! Of course I don't want t-to!" Zenkichi yelled uncomfortably, feeling his face burn bright red from her suggestion. "W-we haven't taken one since the 6th grade!"

"Exactly the reason why we should again." Medaka nodded assertively as her ahoge formed a little heart above her head. "Now Zenkichi, give me your clothes."

Embarrassed by the thought, Zenkichi smacked Medaka from the back of her head, "B-baka! What did you really bring me here for?!"

After confirming what he just said, Medaka gave a small nod and looked him in the eyes.

"Zenkichi Hitoyoshi. Join the student council with me." She said, pointing here closed fan at him. Medaka-chan felt complete confidence when she asked him this as she knew that Zenkichi couldn't say no to her and her intuition was right.

"Fine. Hand me one of those armbands." Zenkichi agreed, reaching out his hand, "I'm only doing this because you'll never stop asking me until I say yes, alright."

With that, Zenkichi earned a hug from the President and had joined the Student Council.

"Zenkichi!" Medaka moaned as she hugged him so. "Arigato. ~"

"S-stop it…" Zenkichi exclaimed as he shoved his childhood friend away to hide the blush, clear across his face.

"I'm one step closer." Medaka thought to herself as she hid her true intentions under her glowing smile. "With this, Zen-chan will finally be mine."

But little did she know, Medaka was going to get some tiny competition.
