"What's that?" The soft noise of footsteps running up stairs was heard by Atsushi, causing him to turn toward the door. "We should go."
"They won't be able to identify us by our faces or voices. They're disguised." Kinshiro quietly explained as he too turned towards the door. It suddenly burst open, revealing none other than Battle Lover Scarlet.
"What's with those weird uniforms? Are you the bad guys?" A scrambled voice spoke. Although the Earth Conquest Club couldn't see, the blond's eyes widened. "Atsushi…? What are you doing here? What's with those uniforms?" Atsushi's face twisted into an expression of shock and horror before he suddenly charged at Battle Lover Scarlet. He raised his arm and within moments his fist connected with Scarlet's face. He fell to the floor, leaving the panting Atsushi standing over him.
"How the hell can he see my face?! Damnit!"
"Atsushi, hey!" Scarlet's words infuriated Atushi, causing him to send a swift kick to the face. The blond laid there, having been knocked unconscious.
"Atsushi, calm down." Kinshiro placed a hand on his shoulder, speaking calmly. "We need to find a way to give you an alibi."
"Yumoto, there's no way that Atsushi would beat you up." A tired En yawned, the owner looking up at Yumoto from his seat.
"I swear it was him! He was the only one without a blurred face, and he had red eyes, and he beat me up!" The young boy yelled, obviously stressed.
"That doesn't seem like something Atsushi would do. Even if he's stressed by our finals, he wouldn't do that." Zaou spoke, putting his phone down.
"I'm sure it was him!"
"Why don't we go look for him, then?" Io asked, closing his laptop.
"Fine…" Yumoto pouted, then walked out of the room.
"Here's the documents to replace the destroyed one, Kinugawa." Akoya said with a smile, handing a stack of papers and a pen to Atsushi.
"Thank you." Atsushi walked out and turned down the hall that led to the Earth Defense Club's room. The moment he was about to step in, something collided with him, sending papers.
"Ah! Not again!" He yelled, looking at what just ran into him. "You okay, Yumoto? Hey, what happened to your face?"
"You beat me up, remember?!" Yumoto screamed, drawing the rest of the club out.
"What on earth are you talking about…?"
"Just a little a while ago!" Yumoto stood up and pointed at Atsushi. "Wait, weren't your eyes red earlier…?"
"Yumoto, I have no idea what you're talking about." Atsushi feigned innocence, picking up the last of the papers that had fallen. His eyes had turned from their previous crimson back to his normal brown as he transformed back to his normal form. "Are you sure you weren't dreaming? You do fall asleep in class a lot."
"Then where were you when we were fighting the nail polish monster earlier?" The blond dramatically pointed at Atsushi, a scowl on his face. Atsushi picked a few filled out forms off the piled, holding them up.
"I was working on these with the student council. Remember how the pages flew out the window? These are replacements, and they offered to help me." A pink fuzzy object finally skittered out of the room, looking at the arguing students.
"I've never heard of a battle lover turning against and becoming an enemy. I don't think it's possi—whoa!" The creature was cut off as Yumoto picked him up.
"Does that mean it was a doppelgänger, Wombat?"
"It's possible that he's a monster made to create confic—" Wombat was once again cut off as Yumoto squeezed him.
"Cuddling you always makes me feel better, Wombat!" Yumoto smiled, hugging the pink alien close to his chest.
"Can we please focus on this paperwork? I'd like to stop in at the bathhouse before it gets dark, and we don't have much time…" Atsushi sheepishly said, walking into the club room.
"That went faster than expected." Zaou sighed, slowly sinking into the bathwater.
"But the student council was already gone by the time we went to turn it in…"
"We can turn it in tomorrow. For now, we should all relax. Finals are finally over, and we all deserve a bit of peace." Io murmured.
"Hey, Atushi?" Zaou asked, narrowing his eyes.
"Yeah?" Atsushi responded, turned to look at the pink haired male.
"Where's your bracelet?"
Another chapter, whoo! I'm extremely lazy and slowly becoming more and more busy. Lil Atsushit is in trouble now, isn't he? Ohoho… Truth be told, I don't know what's happening next either. Anyway, thanks for reading, and please review!
