Chapter 2: Chaos

Nokoru was face-faulted to his own desk that morning. Enough headache for one day. Now he had to face another challenge in his life – meeting his 'newly lover's' parent – possible mother-in-law to be in the future. Nokoru felt he missed his villa in Hawaii at this moment. Actually it was so easy for him to pick up his cell phone, dialed his private jet's pilot to get ready for him and take him away as far as he wanted. But it was impossible. He couldn't runaway now, could he? If he did, Suoh would not forgive him ever. Not that he didn't love Suoh the way Suoh loved him, but it just…. It just happened too fast. There were a lot of things before he could take that kind of commitment. Not to mention, he needed to inform his own family about his relationship. Nokoru had goose bumps having to imagine what his parents and siblings would say about this. They would tease him for sure. He really wished he could bang his head hard enough to clear his thought now.

BRAKKKKK!

The door was opened harshly and shocked the blonde as he jumped out of his seat that very moment. It was Akira who hurriedly charged in as if there was an emergency situation happened.

'KAICHOU!' He rushed towards Nokoru's desk and slammed it.

'Wh-What happened, Akira?' Nokoru was alert.

'I know it!' Akira shouted. Panting.

'What?' Nokoru was more than surprised. 'How…. How can you?' Nokoru disbelieved that the news could travel that fast, the news he and Suoh had involved in a love relationship. Had Suoh told him about it? But it was impossible. Suoh himself told him not to tell anyone yet about this new relationship.

'Impossible!' Nokoru added. 'I told Suoh not to-'

'See…. I know it! Yesterday you went to see HIM and told HIM EVERYTHING! YOU TOLD HIM I'M NIJIMENSOU, RIGHT?'

WHATTTTTT?

Nokoru gasped. Had he had not enough trouble? Nokoru felt his head aching more.

'Kaichou…. It's true, isn't it? You told him who I am, right?' The black-haired began to sob and kneel down in front of the desk.

'Nooo…. Akira… I didn't … What makes you think I told Suoh who you are?'

'I met him just now. But he looked at me weirdly, as if I did something wrong. I never feel that way. I was so scared. He followed me, but I managed to escape from him. You got to help me, Kaichou. I don't want him to get mad at me.' He sobbed louder.

'Akira…..' Nokoru quickly approached the poor man and kneel down to the same level as his. 'I don't think he's mad at you. I didn't…'

Just when Nokoru was about to explain, another break at the boardrooms startled him. But this time, it was louder, perhaps the loudest crash he'd ever heard during his time working in this High School Council. Akira was the one who was in shock more compared to his Kaichou. To his greatest fear, the Duklyon team, in their blue and red armor, were there complete with their weapons aimed at him.

'FREEZE!' Shouted them in unison loud voice.

Akira was stunned, never before he lost the ability to escape. But, his common sense was back in time. Without wasting any second, he ran to the treasurer's desk, and grabbed his papers. In an invisible speed, he threw them at the two, trying to block their sight, while he tried to escape from the room. His action was almost succeeded, but the Goddess of Fortune was not on his side, well… at least not at this moment. Just by the time he reached the boardroom's main door, a single trap gun shot him a wide net, trapping his body inside, just like a fit get caught in a net. It was a young woman in shocking pink suit who managed to catch the great thief of all time unpredictably.

'I know I can't rely on you two! See…. Without me, you almost let him escape! You useless men! You never changed!' The woman shouted at the two.

'Eri-san! Do you really think he can escape from us?' Said the guardian in blue armor.

'But admit it, Takepon, she's a super duper powerful.' The red armor guard replied him.

'Kaichou…. Help….' Akira weakly pleaded Nokoru, hoping him could rescue him in time.

Still feeling shock, Nokoru was motionless. When he realized that his best friend was just caught by his own bodyguards, Nokoru ran towards Akira and tried to detach the net from his poor friend. However, the woman named Eri immediately stopped him from doing so.

'What are you doing? He'll escape if you open the net!' The woman grabbed his arm to stop him.

'But he is my friend! What are you doing? Why are you taking him?' Nokoru questioned her.

'We got proof that he is the famous Nijimensou. His height and voice recording was a match. We've been suspicious all this time, until recently we manage to spy on his action. He was investigating the Clamp museum art secretly by the time the museum was closed. We got the surveillance camera record it.' Explain the blue armored man.

Nokoru really wanted to say that even though they got the proof, they didn't have to catch him, because he didn't order them. HE – the CAPTAIN of Dukylon – had never given an order to catch Nijimensou.

'By the way,' the woman continued. 'We know!'

WHATTTTT? /How do they know I am their CAPTAIN?/

Nokoru never wanted Takeshi, Eri and Kentarou to know his real identity. He enjoyed his secret identity as the Captain. But if he had to, he would do anything to rescue his best friend.

'If you KNOW, then you should OBEY me! Let HIM GO!' Nokoru began to raise his voice.

'No, we can't! And why should we obey you?' To Nokoru's surprise, the red armored man refused to follow his command. 'Why should we obey you?'

'But you know that-'

'Of course we know you are the High School Council Kaichou, but that doesn't mean you can tell us what we do.'

Eh?

'We know this boy here,' he pointed at Akira in the net, 'is your Treasurer staff, right? But that doesn't mean he could escape from the law. He is a thief, he had to take the punishment. We'll take him the authority and let them decide the punishment.'

/So they still don't know I'm their Captain./

Nokoru was in doubt whether he had to expose his real identity now. But he had to. He would do anything to get Akira out, before the authority got him.

'Wait… I…..' Nokoru paused. 'I ask you to release him, because I'm your….'

Before he could even finish his sentence, a girl appeared in sudden and cried out.

'Noooooo!' Utako screamed in distressed. 'What happened? Akira-san!' She too tried to untie the net to get Akira out, but Eri was in time to stop her.

'Why do you arrest him? What does he do wrong?'

'He's Nijimensou! Of course, we have to arrest him.' Eri explained.

'Whaat? Nokoru-sama…..' Utako ran towards the confused Kaichou. 'Please help him! Please ask them to let him go….. Please I beg you!' Utako started to cry in tears.

'I…. I'm trying, but…..'

Utako cut his words. 'Oh, noo….. are you behind this, Nokoru-sama?'

Eh? Nokoru widened his eyes in shock. 'Wh-what do you mean?'

'Is this because I told that I fell in love with you once, that's why you expose Akira-san's true identity to the Duklyon so they can arrest him?'

WHATTTT?

'Utako-san, I know his-'

'See! You're the only one who know his real identity besides me, so if ever the Duklyon knows it too, that means you're the one who tell the secret. I know it! I'd never told anyone about who Akira for real is'

Nokoru felt his brain start to ache more and more.

'Ohkawa Kaichou, I know who Akira is, but I-'

Just then, Suoh came in. He too was shocked to see the messy situation there in the boardroom.

'Kaichou? Ohkawa Kaichou? What happened?' He was more than shocked to see Akira in the net helplessly. 'Ijyuin? What are you doing there? Kaichou? Is this some kind of a joke?'

Nokoru was about to explain, when Utako cried louder.

'Takamura-senpai, it's all my fault. I confessed my love long time ago to Imonoyama Kaichou, and he reported Akira-san to the Duklyon.'

'He's the Nijimensou.' Eri felt she had to update the blue-haired man who just walked in the scene.

'What? Ijyuin? Are you the famous thief?'

Akira sobbed and answered him, 'I am, senpai, but I thought you knew it. I told Kaichou about it already, so he must have told you…..'

'No, he….' Suoh looked at Nokoru. 'Is that true, Nokoru?'

Again, Nokoru opened his mouth to explain, but Suoh asked him the second question. 'And is it true you were in some kind of romance with Ohkawa Kaichou?' There was a jealously in his voice tone.

Nokoru really wanted to faint at that very second.

DUARRR!

Everyone – except for Nokoru, he was too stunned to react – covered their ears in surprise. Eri shot out her gun to the empty air.

'Alright, enough of this all. Takepon, Kenpi, or whatever your name is, take this villain back to our base.' Eri ordered the two men to move.

'Yes, ma'am!' Both of them answered in unison.

'Kaichouuu….. help meee…' Akira cried just like a fish struggling to live in the net.

Nokoru really wanted to grab him, but he was paralyzed. He could do nothing to stop the Dukylon from taking his best friend away.

Utako followed them in tears, but before she left, she told Nokoru, 'Nokoru-sama, how could you? How could you do this to us?'

Soon, they disappeared as the door was closed loudly, leaving Nokoru and Suoh in the room.

Silence fell between them. Apparently, both of them were still shocked to see what just happened – especially for Nokoru.

'Suoh, I really don't….'

'Don't what, Nokoru?' Suoh replied coldly.

Nokoru was surprised to see Suoh's reaction. What happened?

'Do you really want me to believe that you don't know all of this?' Suoh glared at him.

WHATTT?

'What do you mean?'

'Look, Nokoru…. How long are you going to keep a secret from me? You know that Akira is the famous Nijimensou, yet you didn't tell me. Ohkawa Kaichou was in love with you, yet you failed to tell me too. I don't know when to trust you that you're not keeping anything from me.'

'Suoh, trust me, I don't-

'I don't even know whether you're serious or not to have a relationship with me.'

And without having to wait for Nokoru's answer, Suoh turned around, opened the door and slammed the door just right in front of the overly frustrated Nokoru.

If he didn't manage to sit back on his chair that time, he would have lost his consciousness in the middle of the empty room. He really didn't know what he had to do now….

Really didn't know…..
