Sophia simply left without saying a single word, leaving him alone with her mess of papers on the floor. She wanted to punch him, no, she wanted to kill him. How dare he touch her like that, or even place his lips onto hers. The only thing that's stopping her was Kyoya. She knew he wouldn't approve of it.

Magoroku was stuck cleaning her mess. As he swiftly picks up all the papers one by one while making sure he didn't get any papercuts since he wasn't wearing his white gloves today. Once he was done he place all of them down on the desk in front of him in a neat pile. By the time he was done it was already past his dinner. He didn't get any of his student council work done because of her.

Why did she have to do that to him?

Why did he have to be so clumsy today to the point he kissed her accidentally?

He still felt the feeling of her foreign lips on his own. He still barely believe he kissed her and that he was that close to her. He was lucky that Sophia didn't kill him for doing that. He only had his boots to blame for that. If only his father didn't get them made so big. At least some of his peers like them, giving him compliments and such.

He places his hand over his stomach as it growls, begging for food. He sighs and gets up, as he was making his way towards the door. He walks home until he was at the big Shido's mansion. His father has yet to be seem he was a busy man after all.

He enters the large kitchen in search for food. He found some sushi and ate silently.


Sophia stood in her usual spot in Kyoya's office. While giving her report as always. She told him everything but the pointless kiss her and Shido had. Master didn't need to know that… right? At least she thought he didn't need to know. It doesn't play any part in their mission.

"Are you doing okay, Sophia?" The white-haired male asked in concern, "You're not acting like yourself today. Did something happen that you're not telling me?"

Sophia bit the inside of her lip lightly, "I'm okay, Master. Nothing happen. Thank you for the concern," she bow down slightly before straightening herself back up again.

Was she really okay? She honestly didn't know what to make of it right now. Even she was quite surprised when Shido kissed her, accidental or not, she didn't even want to kiss him in the first. Not only that this will most likely cause a weird tension between them but also will most likely fold their mission in the process. Which she simply did not want that to happen. She could always erase his memory.

Erase… that's was she'll do.


Magoroku enters the student council room, closing the door behind him. Sophia was already inside, standing in the her stop arms in front of her as hands were on top of one another.

Magoroku gaze towards her, "Sophia," he paused, not being sure if this was a good idea or not as the girl's eyes wander towards his giving him her attention. "We need to talk," he uttered.

"Talk about what?" She asked, harshly.

"Well, it's about the kiss… I'm sorry I didn't mean to do that, it's just that these boots-"

Sophia expression turn grimace, as a shadow cast under her eyes. Magoroku flinch and cringe while he watches as the female gave such a malice expression, one that he never seen before. It was worrying him, greatly. "About that," She walks up to and places one of her hands, taking out her dark core, "I need to erase your memory of that ever happening."

Magoroku's eyes widened in horror as he backs away from her. 'She could erase memories!?' What the hell is wrong with her! Maybe she was lying? No, he highly doubt she was.

"What!? Why are you going to erase my memories!?" Magoroku stumbles back.

"Because you're going to get side tracked and forget about the mission."

Magoroku backs up until he felt the door hit his back, "What, no!? That is not going to affect our mission at all!" he yelled. Sophia went just a little bit closer, lifting her dark core up…

Magoroku closed his eyes tightly but he didn't feel anything so he opened his eyes, "Sophia?" He questioned in concern.

The room becomes dark as they felt a chilling air past by, "Sophia," a deep, raspy voice called her name. Sophia stops what she was doing and quickly turns around to face the noise calling her name. She was completely stunned, "Azi Dahaka? What are doing here?" She asked in a worrying tone, a tone in which Magoroku wasn't even familiar with and frankly, if a girl like her is worry than he should be too.

Magoroku tilts his head off the side to get a better view of what she was staring at. An entity, a buddy monster, maybe? It was black with 3 floating dragon heads and has the creepiest glowing red eyes Magoroku had ever seen.

Magoroku sighs in relief, secretly thanking that monster for saving him without knowing. He wasn't expected him to show up.

"I came here to inform you that Master, wants you all to find at least one fighter worthy of the dark core by the end of the ABC cup. Did you decide on any fighters yet?"

Sohpia narrowed her eyes and gave Shido a cold glare, "no, because of Shido. Why did Master partner me with him?" She raised her voice harshly and detested him. Magoroku tries giving her the same cold glare back but she ends up punching him.

Magoroku flinches in pain and gave a look of horror. As he cowardly steps as far away from her as he can. He only known her for a few days and not once did she ever do that. She just attack him! He knew she was rude, but not abusive.

She steps away from him and places her dark core deck case back inside of her dark blue jacket.

Why was she blaming him for this?

He only kiss her accidentally. Why was she even acting like it was a big deal, it was only just a kiss. It's not like they had a makeout session or actually did it.

"No, Master Kyoya thinks you two are a make the perfect team for this mission," the dark monster explained.

Sophia groans lightly, "Perfect team? How do we make a perfect team?" she asked. He just had a feeling that she wouldn't go against master wishes no matter how much she hated them, right?

"You'll see in due time."

Sophia glare at Shido one more time before giving him a cold shoulder yet again.

"Um, who are you?" Magoroku asked nervously ignoring Sophia new found hatred for him that he never knew about.

"My name is Azi Dahaka! I'm a powerful monster that resides in Darkness Dragon World, I am also Kyoya's buddy," the monster explains, "Now, fine buddyfigthers at once."

Magoroku glups and nods, "y-yes," he mumbled as the monster disappears. The room wasn't so dark and cool anymore. However the weird tension in the room didn't leave.

Sophia stares at the spot that the buddy monster was just located at not that long ago. He turns towards her, giving a worried and concerned look, "Sophia?" He uttered quietly.

She didn't bother to face him, "What?" She asked, coldly. He swore he could hear actually venom in her voice.

"I'm going to enter the ABC cup anyways."

"I don't care, Shido."

"Is something bothering you?"

"That's none of your business, leave me alone."

Magoroku sighs, she was in a mood today. It probably would be best to leave her alone, "Very well then, if that what you wish but, I'd like to discuss the ABC cup later with you."

Sophia quietly nods and walks out of the room. while making Shido flinch as she close the blue sliding down harshly to the point Shido she was going to break it off.


He couldn't believe it... he didn't want to believe it he lost the ABC cup and place so low. It was these cards, his so called buddy. They won't even his real buddies in the first place. He was angry, filled with frustration.

The girl only watches while sitting on the couch. She told him to relax but it didn't exactly work so she didn't bother saying anything else to him.

Until he was lifted a fort up, ready to tear his cards up. "Shido," she said sternly, as she quickly took out her buddy glowing yellow rare card. Her eyes narrow vertically similar to a serpentine form. As she activates her Disaster Force using it to stop shido from destroying his buddies cards.

A yelp of pain escaped his delicate lips, just begging Sophia to stop using her Disaster Force.

She deactivated her Disaster Force, letting his wrist go as he rubs it still in pain. She grabbed her suitcase as she got up, turning away from Shido, "you and your buddy are connected in both and soul," she simply uttered as she made her way over to the door.

Magoroku glance up at her to find her back was against him going to the door with a grey suitcase in hand. He asked where she was going to only hear her say she was leaving Aido. He felt his heart drop. Her leaving him here…? He didn't want her to leave he wanted her to stay.

He relies on her to much. Before she slid the door open she told him that he was clumsy, an unaffected student council presidents and even saying that master said this was a role he was meant to play.

As she opened to the door He yelled for her to wait and reach out his hand, and start to chase after her only to fall... thanks to his big black boots. He watches her leave, closing the door behind her.


Magoroku sat alone in the student council's room going through the papers in front of him. Until he heard the door open, Magoroku blinks. No one should be here at this time of day and Sophia left Aido not long ago, much to his disarray, to play out the next phase of their plan.

He lifted his gazed up off from his work to find a girl he wasn't expected to see at all. Magoroku watches her curiously, "You should really knock before you enter, you know."

She closes the door behind her, "That's not important," she said monotonly, as she walks up to him in front of his desk.

"Do you want to come back to Aido? Awe, Did you miss me?" He asked as he places his pen down on the table in front of him.

"No," she said sternly.

Magoroku blinks, "Then what do you want?"

"Master Kyoya, requested that you come with me."

Magoroku was stunned to the least. His eyes dilate, "ah, well…"he didn't want to go. He had already made up his mind. He already knows his feelings for her, he hated her. Well, ever since she insulted him twice and left him alone. And let's not forget about that kiss they share. "... you see," he let his eyes wander around the room looking for some reasonable excuse. They ended up rested on his student council work in front of his him on his desk. He should really be doing that work instead of making small talk with the white-haired girl, "I don't want to come with you," he said honestly giving up on finding an excuse entirely.

Sophia parted her lips to speak, "But ma-"

Magoroku quickly interrupts her, "No," Sophia shuts her mouth as Shido continues, "I'm currently busy. I don't have the time for this."

Sophia nods and remains silent. Magoroku swore he saw a flash of sadness within her big light blue eyes.

Magoroku gaze back down at his work and lifts his hand, he swiftly gestures towards the door, "you know where the door is."

She nods and turns to leave. Magoroku gaze up watching her leave yet again. But this time he was going to follow her.

He got up out of his chair quickly and quietly. He opens to the door. She stops unexpectedly as ends up dumping into her. He quickly stumbles back as Sophia turns around glaring at him.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm busy and you're in my way."

"You were just following me."

Magoroku bit the inside of his lip, "you must be mistaken I wa-"

"Do you want to come with me or not, Shido?"

Magoroku parted his lips to speak, "I can't…" he mumbled. She closed her eyes and turns away. Magoroku eyes widened, "wait!" He yelled as he grabs her shoulder, stopping her. She turns slightly to face him, giving a look of annoyance, "what? You already said you're answer. I don't waste m-"

"I just want to know something, that's all."

Sophia reminds silent as her expression softened.

Magoroku took this time to ask her and taking off his hand from her shoulder, "Are you working for any other student council presidents?"

Sophia smirks maicly, "maybe."

Magoroku narrow his eyes, "Come on, Sophia! I'm being serious here," he whined. His voice laden with slight jealousy.

"are you jealous, Shido?" Sophia leaned in slightly towards Shido. She lowers her voice into almost a whisper as she continues to speak, "Or maybe you don't like the thought of me being the vice president of another student council or even working for another president. since you're greedy."

Her whispering tone sends shivers down his shine causing him to slightly shudder and almost break down breakdown. Magoroku felt heat rushing through his cheeks by the sound of her voice and her closeness.

He did his best to recover fast and pouts, "me jealous? Never," closing his eyes and folding his hands across his chest. He tilted his head to the side as he continues, "I would I be jealous of anyone else?"

"You sounded like you were."

"Well, I'm not," Magoroku turns around, "I need to get back to work, the paperwork can't do themselves you know."


Magoroku walks through the halls of the Aido's fight stage looking for the door where team purgatory, nervously. He wants to see and talk to Sophia again. The last time he talked with her was when she came into his office a few weeks back. He finally found a door he was looking for. He knocks on it repeatedly while hoping it was the correct one.

He heard the door clicked open as he watches slides open revealing female white hair and bright blue eyes, wearing a disaster uniform on that was similar to his many ways. Her blue eyes stared at the one who dares knock on her team's door warily but reminds silent.

Magoroku smiles brightly towards her as he greets her kindy, "hello, Sophia!"

Sophia didn't want to see the one she knew to well. Sophia fiercely tries closing the door on him but in a panic Magoroku ends up aggressively taking the door with his grip and pulling it open fully again much to Sophia's distaste.

Magoroku wasn't going to have any of her hostility today.

Sohpia finally spook breaking the silence between the teens, "What do you want, Shido?"

"I want to congratulate you on going to the final round in the Gean Cup."

Sophia didn't grip on the door as harshly as did before she brought her hand down, "you want to congratulate me?"

Magoroku nods,"yes. Did anyone ever congratulate on winning anything before?"

Sophia shook her head, no.

"Good. I'd like to be the first. I saw your performance and fights... you're very competent. Honestly, I really didn't think you were such skilled and talented a fighter. I'm quite impressed. "

Sophia was stunned. This can't be Shido… he was egotistical. He puts himself before others. He was acting way out of his character. "That doesn't sound like you at all," she commented.

Magoroku blinks in shock, "what? Can't I give you compliments?"

Sophia shook her head no yet again.

Magoroku lower his eyes and whimpers, "At least deserve a thank you."

"You're not getting one."

"Please," he begged.

"No."

Magoroku sighs, "fine, be like that. I should get going. Good luck," he turns and starts walking away.

A female voice calls his name, "Shido."

Magoroku stop in his tracks, "hm?" He pursed his lips and turns to face Sophia.

She gave a small smirk that wasn't easy to see, "You also did very well in the cup."

Magoroku blinks as he felt a burning sensation within his cheeks.

Sophia gave him a compliment!? Sophia, the cold-hearted girl who did nothing but hurt him in the past was being nice to him!? This wasn't like her at all.

He felt tears forming in his eyes, "You really mean it, Sophia?" He asked.

Sophia close her eyes and nods.
