Caren-san and I stood in front of my clubroom.
I really wanted to run away but to my dismay I couldn't, because she had those pictures which she would definitely use against me, if I didn't carry out her wish. I sighed heavily, giving up any prospect of running away from this situation and prepared myself to face whatever might happen to me later on.
Behind that angelic smile of hers, I could see her grinning and laughing like a maniac, waiting for her victim to fall in her trap. She looked at me and said:
"Hikigaya-kun, what are you waiting for? Open the door. Let's head inside your club. I want to meet your clubmates!" She said to me gleefully.
How can she smile like that! Her smile is so cute but her intentions are far from angelic. She's going to enjoy whatever happens to me once she has spread chaos among the girls! I laughed awkwardly and asked nervously:
"Caren-san, please have mercy on me. I already accepted your request, right?"
She put her fingers on her lips and thought for a while. Then she said to me:
"Hikigaya-kun, I'll show you some mercy. I promise, I'll not let them kill you, okay?" She said while giving me a thumbs up.
Nice; I won't get killed. Yet. I hope I don't die. But I might be put through a world of pain.
I sighed and looked at this rather mischievous nurse, standing right beside me. I nodded to her but before I could open the door to the clubroom, she whispered in my ears:
"If anything bad happens, I'll take responsibility and clear it up. I'll even let you have your favorite drink every day. Just come by the infirmary to get it from me, okay Hikigaya-kun?"
I looked at her and slightly chuckled before nodding in understanding. At least she will defend me. If all hell breaks loose. And I will get my Maxx Coffee for free everyday!
I took a deep breath and took a step forward after slowly opening the door. Caren-san was leaning on my shoulder and holding onto my arm. After seeing us like this, all the talking stopped. The chattering and the noise vanished. It was so silent that you could even hear the faint sound of the wind blowing by the window. The silence was deafening and made me shiver. I walked to my seat while bringing along this new face in our club.
Yukinoshita, Yuigahama, Isshiki and Haruno, had all their eyes on me. It was like they were frozen in time. They were staring at me and Caren-san…Really guys? Is it really that hard to believe that a beautiful girl is with me?
I went and got a chair for Caren-san to sit and I placed it near my chair. But this impish nurse had other plans. I saw the glint of mischief in her eyes. I never expected what she would do. When I sat down on my chair, she simply looked at me. For a minute it looked like she was about to seat beside me, but no! She sat on my lap and put her arms around my neck!
I looked at my clubmates with fear. I could see the look of shock on their faces. If looks could kill, then the looks these four girls were giving would have surely killed anyone, in the receiving end.
Yukinoshita was glaring at me…No! She was glaring at Caren-san for some unknown reason, like she did something unforgiveable. Her glare was ice cold.
Yuigahama looked at her with lifeless eyes.
Isshiki was trembling. The mug she was holding was about to break.
And Haruno-san was emitting a dangerous aura around her.
After seeing the four of them like that, I feared what they would do to me, if this naughty nurse, sitting on my lap, did something crazy!
After a few minutes of dreadful silence, I decided to introduce the new face to our club. Meanwhile, the nurse sitting on my lap was enjoying the chaos that she spread. I slight coughed to get everyone's attention on me:
"Everyone, this is Caren-san, our school nurse. Caren-san, these are my clubmates. Yukinoshita and Yuigahama"
Caren-san smirked at them and then she did something that I never expected!
"Hello there Yukino-san and Yuigahama-san; my name is Caren Hortensia. You can call me Caren by the way. I have heard so much about this club from Hachi"
Then she turned to me and slowly licked my right cheek seductively. And she followed it up with:
"Mou Hachi, why is your cheek so dirty? I cleaned you earlier when we had lunch together, right? Here let me clean it for you again" As she licked me again, her tongue almost touched my lips! That sent my Hikigaya senses into red alert!
What she did was beyond embarrassing and I bet my face was as red as a tomato by now. My head was spinning from what she did. I was irritated from what she did. My eyebrows went up my hairline. I tried to move my face away from her.
Woman what did you do?! You just licked me and your tongue almost touched my lips! Also why did you do that in front of these girls! And when did I give you permission to call me Hachi? The hell woman! Don't give me nicknames now! You'll just cause more misunderstandings! You may get out of here alive but it's a different story for me; so, stop it already!
I looked at Caren-san but she just chuckled at me. I was going to say something to her but she just pointed at the girls and that caught my attention instead.
I looked at my stunned club mates for a second and realized that Yukinoshita was now glaring at her even more while Yuigahama was now gritting her teeth at her.
Meanwhile, I calmed myself down from what this nurse did to me earlier. I looked at her with a slight glare. I wanted to show her that I was annoyed from what she did but she only responded with her signature smirk. Her playful eyes twinkled with delight. This had to stop!
"Cut it out Caren-san! Why did you lick my cheek? There was nothing there. And before I forget there are some people who I almost forgot to mention."
I opened my hand and introduced the other two in the room.
"This is Yukinoshita Haruno. She is a sister of my club mate and also an alumni of Sobu High. Lastly, this is Isshiki. She is the student council president."
After introducing them, Caren-san got off me and introduced herself.
"Hey there Haruno-san and Isshiki-chan. Nice to meet you too"
I had thought that she was finished with spreading chaos but no! She had one last card up her sleeve. She kissed my cheek and then nibbled on my ears! This sent my danger senses into full drive! I was trembling in my seat. This nurse had made a really bold and daring move, right in front of the girls. I was again turned into a blushing mess because of what this bothersome nurse just did.
I wanted to push her back immediately after what she did. But if I do that, she would get annoyed at me and show everyone those embarrassing pictures of mine, which she still has on her phone! That would cause my reputation to surely drop to the lowest possible level! After giving into her teasing ways, O slightly pushed her away to stop her from teasing me anymore.
Get a grip on yourself, Hachiman! You have already endured her teasing earlier, so you have to make it stop right now! Or else there will be no future for you!
I took a deep, calming breath and opened my eyes.
The first thing I saw was a slightly pouting nurse, sitting right beside me but then, it quickly turned into her, trying to hold her laughter. She was enjoying all the damage she had done and she was really delighted to see the girls like that for some reason.
I turned away from Caren-san and instead tried to take a look at both Isshiki and Haruno. From the look on their faces it was clear that I wasn't going to leave here alive.
Isshiki's arms were trembling as she had already broken the teacup that she was holding. Haruno was laughing menacingly while giving a death glare to Caren-san. The atmosphere in the room was very intense yet there was only one person who was chilling there, just enjoying the show, from the chaos she had created.
Caren-san looked like she was on vacation, enjoying the view and relaxing. She couldn't care less about the death glares that she was receiving right now. She had a very creepy smile on her face and she whispered to me while admiring her dirty work:
"This is so wonderful Hikigaya-kun! Jealousy, anger and the misfortune of others is so sweet!" She said while licking her lips in satisfaction.
She turned to me and her face showed the clear signs that she was in euphoria. I shivered at what I had seen. She really had turned the atmosphere inside the clubroom rather malicious. She also showed me her sadistic side too. I prayed in my mind that this situation doesn't get any worse that it already is.
Isshiki was the one to break the silence. She spoke while still trembling and stuttering. It looked like she was really angry:
"S-s-senpai, I think I need y-you to do some stuff f-for the student council."
I immediately stood up. In fact I was glad to be able to get out of this danger zone. But then Caren-san cupped my cheeks and pulled my face onto her moderately sized bust while she said:
"Hachi, don't over exert yourself. I still need you to do some work later tonight with me. By the way you won't be getting any sleep later." She winked at me before gently kissing my forehead.
I was stunned yet again by this evil nurse. I nervously asked:
"Caren-san, you'll protect me later if anything goes bad, right?"
She nodded to my plea and answered with:
"Of course Hachi! I'll protect you later. In fact, I'll give you some protection right now for you to use later, okay?" She winked at me and held out her hand. She grinned and gave me something.
I got the tiny box from her and opened it in the room. That was my biggest mistake. As I took out the contents, I finally realized what it was…it was a box of condoms.
I looked at this nurse beside me. If she wasn't a girl, I would have shouted in a really loud, angry voice by now. But I kept my cool. Seriously, this nurse had so many tricks up her sleeve. But my mood quickly changed from pissed off to scared for my life, in an instant, when I realized that that girls had already seen the item in my hand.
My heart was really pounding and it seemed the temperature inside the room had dropped by several degrees. I was sweating from the glare, these four girls were giving. I thought I was in the clear but after what this nurse just did, she had officially motivated these girls to come after my blood. The murderous aura enveloped the whole room. I quickly stood up and decided to head to the student council room. I really wanted to know what Isshiki wanted me to do.
/
After carrying loads of boxes, back and forth from the student council room to the storage room, I was beyond exhausted. My back was hurting a little bit more from all the work I had done. My temper was nearing its limit. As the day was about to end, I started recalling all the bad things that happened earlier. 'What a way to end my day!' I thought sarcastically.
After all that work, I was now on my way back to the club room. But before that I stopped by the vending machine and got my favorite drink- Maxx Coffee. Unfortunately, it was all out. I was annoyed at not getting my Maxx Coffee. But I disregarded it and decided to head back to my clubroom.
I did get to have Maxx Coffee earlier, thanks to Caren-san. So it wasn't a big deal. But as soon as I neared my clubroom, I quickly remembered the atmosphere from earlier. Was Caren-san okay in there with those vicious girls around her?
I was nervous. I didn't want to open the door to see what had happened after I had left. All I know is that there could have been a blood bath here earlier, courtesy of the new face I had just introduced to them. However, I quickly hardened my resolve and opened the door.
Upon opening the door, I was shocked to see what was in front of me. It was so weird. I stood there for half a minute before moving. Girls are really mysterious and unpredictable creatures aren't they?
I couldn't believe that the girls were interacting the way they were with Caren-san. They were laughing and chatting like normal and there was no bad vibe or murderous aura to be felt in the room. Earlier, they were ready to tear off the limbs of this naughty nurse! However, I was relieved and a little bit confused about whatever goes on inside a girl's mind.
I gave out a big sigh of relief, went to my seat and sat down. Yukinoshita poured me a cup of tea and I observed carefully whatever that was happening around here. They were talking to each other, getting to know one other and they seemed to enjoy each other's company. I looked at Caren-san, who was talking to Isshiki and Yuigahama about some health related topics, while Haruno and Yukinoshita were bantering about something.
After Caren-san finished talking to Yuigahama and Isshiki, she returned to my side of the table. She sat down and drank some of Yukinoshita's tea, after which I asked:
"Caren-san, what magic did you do? I thought when I left you here, that you would be attacked by my club mates and these two…Can you please explain to me what you did and what happened here, while I was gone?"
She looked at me and answered:
"Well, after you left me here, they still looked at me like I did something, they didn't like. So, I explained why I did those things on you. After explaining my side of the story, they all sighed in relief and then they reintroduced themselves to me. And then, before I knew it, we were all in good terms. They said, I was very welcome to come to the club again. Also, before I forget, Hikigaya-kun, you didn't tell me earlier that all the girls you knew were all so cute!"
I tilted my head and after I drank from my cup, I answered her in an annoyed tone:
"Sorry about that Caren-san but I don't think they are as cute as my little sister."
I noticed that the girls looked at me with a questioning gaze but I continued on with my explanation. I looked over to Yukinoshita and said:
"Yukino is pretty but once she opens her mouth, she can cause long term emotional and psychological trauma, simply from whatever she says."
I shifted my sight onto Isshiki and continued:
"This one is a sly, troublesome kohai who always orders me around whenever she can."
I switched to the bubbly, air head in the room:
"Yuigahama is well…Yuigahama…"
Yuigahama looked at me while pouting and said:
"Hikki, what do you mean Yuigahama is Yuigahama! You meanie!"
I ignored her and continued on with my explanation to Caren-san. Then I looked at Yukinoshita Haruno. I was about to say something about her but she kept staring at me with this creepy smile, which actually made me flinch. So, I nervously said:
"She… is… pretty…"
As I finished my ramblings, I saw Caren-san trying to hold her laughter by holding on to her stomach. She pointed at the other girls and I saw them looking at me. They were not pleased with me, with what I said. Not at all!
Yukinoshita was the first to answer:
"Hikigaya-kun, why did you call me by my first name?"
She should know, why I said that right? Doesn't she realize that her elder sister is here?
"I used your first name because of this 'Yukinoshita-san'" I called out.
As I expected, Haruno looked at me. I pointed this out to Yukino and said:
"See what happens when I use your family name when the two of you are in a room?"
After that the younger Yukinoshita said:
"Okay. Thank you for that Hikigaya-kun. I think now it's our turn to describe you as we see."
"Senpai is a creep. He looks like a creep, talks like a creep and walks like one too. When he isn't in school, he is just a couch potato. When I ask him to do my chores at the student council, he always complains."
I was slightly annoyed at what this kohai of mine just said. The hell woman! You said it yourself; they're 'your chores'! Why do I need to do those for you? My eyebrows twitched in annoyance.
Now it was Yuigahama's turn.
"Hikki is always looking my way in class. It gives me the creeps! When he isn't listening, he always falls asleep. That's why he is always yelled at by Hiratsuka-sensei. Also, he always uses hard to pronounce words when we talk." She said while pouting.
I would have liked to answer that but suddenly this nurse beside me began to chuckle and said:
"Yuigahama-san, how do you know that Hikigaya-kun is looking at you? Does that mean you are also looking at him?" She finished it off with a devilish smirk.
Yuigahama turned a bit red and stuttered while trying to explain but she failed miserably. Ultimately she looked down and became quiet.
Then it was Yukino's turn to talk. She looked at me and said:
"Hikigaya-kun is an anti-social child with a very twisted view of this world. He and I wouldn't have even met and I wish that had actually happened but unfortunately Hiratsuka-sensei made him attend this club to fix his rotten personality. After spending all this time in this club, it still didn't help him to be any less rotten. I can simply say he cannot be fixed."
I was really pissed off by now. I held my anger but my fists trembled when I asked Yukinoshita a question.
"So, Yukinoshita-san, are you saying that it would have been better if none of you here met me?"
She smirked at me and answered:
"Why yes, Hikigaya-kun. It would have been way better that way. If that would have been the case then all the bad things that happened because of you could have been avoided."
"Yes. If senpai weren't here then I would have already gotten together with Hayama-senpai and Yui-senpai wouldn't have had a fight with Yumiko-senpai."
Then Haruno finished everything off and said:
"Wow, Hikigaya-kun! Are these girls your 'Genuine-thing'?" They see you more as a bad omen then as person, if you ask me. I pity you, Hikigaya-kun. Are these the people you treasure?"
Wow blame everything on me now, is that it? So, they all remembered all the bad things that happened and they didn't even try to remember a single good deed that I had done for them?!
I was furious; I wanted to scream at them but I held it in and answered back:
"So, you just looked at me as someone who can be bossed around? Someone who is the source of all the bad things that had happened? You don't even look at me as a person! You just see me as an unfixable problem!" After saying that, I slammed my hands on the table and gave them a fierce look.
They were all speechless. I was not behaving as I usually did. I had enough of all the bad things that had happened today. Now I had to make a choice for myself:
"I quit this club. From now on, I won't talk to the four of you. I won't even bother you anymore. I had enough of this… I thought of all you people as my 'Genuine-thing'…but I was wrong. You guys were the closest to me. I thought I can call you my friends. But no! You don't even see me as a person. So, I don't want to be near you anymore. No more!"
Isshiki, Yuigahama and Yukinoshita called out to me but I ignored them. I ran out of the clubroom and even out of the school, as fast as my legs could carry me. After running for a few minutes, I finally stopped. I was very tired.
I scanned my immediate surroundings and discovered myself in a playground, a few blocks away from Sobu High. I sat down on one of the swings to stop myself from screaming, from all the emotions that I was feeling right now.
But then I heard a familiar voice calling my name. I looked for the source but I couldn't see from where I was sitting. The voice grew louder as the person looking for me came closer to my location. After a moment, I saw someone chasing after me. She was all out of breath but she still came and stood in front of me. She looked very worried and then she sat down with me on the swings.
It was Caren-san. She had chased me all the way round here. She looked very tired but I had to ask:
"Caren-san, why did you come after me? Are you just going to tease me because of what all the girls said?"
She looked at me and after getting back her breath, she answered:
"Hikigaya-kun, I'm not going to do that. I was looking for you because I was worried about you, because of all the bad things they said" She got a handkerchief from her bag and used it to clean my face.
I just looked at her. What was this sly nurse up to now? I was going to push her away but when I looked at her eyes, I saw that she was genuinely worried about me. Despite all her earlier teasing, she looked at me as a person.
She stood up and came in front of me. Then she did something which I didn't expect.
She hugged me.
It felt very warm and comforting. But my emotions were still a mess. She patted my head and said:
"It's okay Hikigaya-kun. I'm here. I won't leave you alone. I'll be your friend. Please calm down and relax. You can trust me, Hikigaya-kun."
I felt her feelings when she said those words to me. She really meant every word that she said while she gently hugged me. I couldn't hold myself back any longer. I let it all out and cried. She took care of me by gently soothing my broken self. After I had cried my heart out to her, she cupped my face and raised it to her eye level before asking:
"Are you feeling better, Hikigaya-kun?"
I nodded and said:
"I'm feeling better now. Thank you for that Caren-san. Did you really mean what you said earlier? All that stuff about being my friend?"
She sat down beside me again and looked at me while she said:
"I meant every word I said, Hikigaya-kun. You do trust me, right?"
To be honest, I wanted to tell her that I didn't trust her but after seeing her do all that stuff for me; I wanted to give her a chance. She does tease me but she looks at me as a person, as a friend and more importantly she accepts me for who I am. I took a deep breath and looked at this new found friend of mind and said:
"I trust you Caren-san. By the way, thank you for what you did just now"
It was my turn to return the trust she showed me. I hugged her gently and gave her a warm pleasant smile.
She looked at me and then turned her head away. After a moment she faced me again. Her cheeks were a shade of pink and she answered me while pouting:
"No fair Hikigaya-kun. I'm the one who is good at teasing here. Not you."
I looked at her before letting her go. Then I laughed out loud. I haven't laughed this hard in a while. It felt so good! Before I knew it, she joined me in laughing. We shared a moment of laughter in this playground.
This nurse was really good at teasing others but she didn't like getting teased herself. Who would have thought?
It's like someone bad at being bad.
After sometime we settled down. It was turning really dark and I suggested that we head home for now. I walked her to her apartment. Upon arriving there after an hour of walking from the playground, she looked at me and said:
"See you on Monday, Hikigaya-kun"
I nodded to her but before she could head inside, I answered:
"See you Caren-san. Please stop with the teasing, okay?"
I smiled at her and she answered back
"Nope. Hehehe. I like teasing you, Hikigaya-kun" She winked at me and went inside.
As expected I walked home alone.
AN
Thank you for all the follows and favs!
Sorry for not updating it sooner my net provider was having problems for 5 days and I was busy with work, ps4 and some little bit of dota2. I will be updating this every 2 or 3 weeks depending on how busy I get.
By the way have any of you noticed the cover image I changed it from Haruno to Carens picture if any of you want to see her in a nurse attire then just look at the cover image.
Again thank you to thatguywhowrote and Betrayed Dreams for beta reading and giving me some ideas here.
I haven't yet decided on who 8mans love interest here but I am choosing between three ladies so you will know who they are soon.
Before I forget I may need some beta readers 2 people to be exact, I really need some help in writing (detailing and giving ideas) so if anyone wants to help me just pm me.
(The reason I need 2 other people to help me is if thatguywhowrote and Betrayed Dream are busy with their stories I will not bother them so they can focus on their own stories)
And to the one who says Caren is a copy of Haruno she was shown in a game(Fate/Hollow Ataraxia)in 2005 while Haruno and Oregairu the LN was published in 2011 so she came first you got that? If you want to see her in action go search the One day! by Ronpaia/Fue or watch carnival phantasm.
If you want to know how she really is read the paragraphs below its directly from the type moon wikia and it describes her personality:
As a priestess, Caren Hortensia exhibits an outwardly accepting personality, but she is not entirely angelic. Her current position simply suits her physiological characteristics. Outside of fulfilling her job, she will readily provoke acquaintances and display outright sadism to those close to her.
It can be said that her life's purpose is to help others at any cost, and she carries that out to the point of inflicting self-harm and deferring any blame to the demonic influence driving her attackers. She will frequently apologize to God, for both her own faults and those who slight her.
Because of this twisted personality, even her two servants are wary of her, both maintaining great distance at all times even without the threat of Command Spells. For going against her would mean having their power turned against them without a second thought for their mutually assured destruction.
While she is described as "the mouthpiece for Kotomine's personality" due to her callous wit, she still inherits significant feminine charm from her mother, making her a largely affable person despite the wealth of acerbic remarks issuing from her lips.
Obviously in this story she is really mischievous and I will develop more of her and Hachiman when the story progresses.
And to those who read the AN you are the best lol! XD
See you on the next chapter!
