Budo sneered as he watched Masakado in the shadows. Masakado was actually in one of Budo's classes. Budo just never noticed him until now. He watched and followed the cook around for almost three days, and aside from the man's insane ego and small size there was nothing Budo could use against him. He's been using all of his free time to follow Masakado. For a moment he thought about what Info-chan had suggested, could he really kill somebody and frame Masakado for the murder?
Still haven't made up your mind on what to do? For a price of four panty-shots I have some interesting information about Masakado that might be able to help you. Info-chan texted him as he got ready to go into the martial arts room for the morning.
Oh? He couldn't help but text back to her hoping to be sly. Of course, she was too smart for him.
Get me those panty-shots, and I'll get you the information. She texted him. Budo gave another sigh before texting Sho explaining that he'll be a little late. Being quick, and rather stealthily, he took pictures of Yui, Kokona, Mai, and Mei's panties. Standing up with less shame than before, he happily sent the pictures to info-chan and was ready to be on his way to the martial art club room. He was already running too late for his liking. Putting his phone in his pocket, he'll read Info-chan's text after his morning activities. Hurrying back to the Martial arts club. Budo rushed into the club quickly. Changing out of his uniform and into his martial arts uniform. He stood in his normal spot and watched his disciples. Yelling out some inspiriting quotes to them as they sparred with one another. "If at first, you don't succeed, try harder!" He yelled out as he went to the club room. He didn't really have much longer after that as it was time for everyone to get ready for class.
Changing out of his uniform and into his school uniform, Budo grabbed his phone and looked at Info-chan's text message.
Thank you for your services. Masakado's best friend is Inkyu Basu. Inkyu Basu has a crush on Masakado you could try and get those two together before next Friday.
Budo read the text message a couple of times. Playing matchmaker just to keep his love away from another guy? It honestly sounded a little fun. Did he have the time for it is another question...
"Budo-senpai? You're blocking the doorway." Sho spoke to him softly. Realizing that he was indeed standing in the doorway Budo gave a quick apology to them and shuffled out. Getting to his classroom he took his seat and looked around for a few seconds before looking back at his phone.
Is that all? He sent the text to Info-chan. He didn't have to wait long for a text back from her.
I've given you two options on how to get rid of him, I suggest you think wisely about what you want to do.
"Please put your phone away," The teacher told him firmly as she stood at the chalkboard.
"Sorry, Sensei," Budo quickly apologized as he put his phone into his pocket. Before long the rest of the students came rushing in just before the bell rang singling the start of class. Budo was ashamed to admit that he didn't pay attention during the lesson. He was too busy looking out the window figuring out his game plan. To frame Masakado or to give him someone else to lust after... Both are very tempting in all honesty. He thought to himself before quickly snapping back to reality. He felt his eyes go wide in sudden horror. Did he really just think that killing somebody was tempting? No, he was losing it. He has until next Friday.
Seeing how today was Friday that pretty much gave him five and a half days to hook up Inkyu Basu and Masakado. It'll be a challenge that's for sure. a big challenge.
Challenge accepted. He thought with a smirk playing on his lips as he looked out the window.
Budo looked over at Inkyu Basu. The young girl was talking to her sister, Sakyu Basu, on the roof of the school. He pretended to just sit on the bench and look at the sky like he was daydreaming as he listened in to the two girls chatting their lunch away.
"I can't believe Masakado!" Inkyu Basu hissed as he ran her fingers through her long pink hair. "Always going on about Ayano! She's not even that pretty!"
Budo had to keep himself from snarling out loud. How dare she talk that way about his Ayano!
"Calm down, Inkyu, I'm sure Masakado will come to his senses before too long," Sakyu told her softly.
"I know he will! Or I'll get Ayano out of the way myself!"
Budo had to stop his fists from clenching in rage as he stood up from the bench. Looking over at Inkyu Basu he listened in Budo frowned, he needed to get close to Inkyu in order for him to matchmake her with Masakado. The lunch bell rang signaling the end of lunch. Inkyu and Sakyu turned and walked away from rooftop. Budo watched as the two sisters left and he crossed his arms he gave his foot a good tap before nodding an idea slowly forming in his head. "Okay… I can do this…" he then grew a smirk on his lips. He knew exactly what he needed to do, however, it was going to start on Monday morning. He needed all the time he could get so he could focus all his energy on this task ahead of him.
"You can't teach us next week?" Mina asked in a rather hurt tone.
"You really can't?" Sho questioned next as he crossed his arms in a bitter fashion. He had a frown on his lips as he looked at Budo questioningly. Budo had met up with his two oldest disciples after class.
"No, I'm sorry I've been falling behind in my classes. Sensei threatened to disband the club if my grades don't improve. I need to spend the rest of this week to study. I'm sorry, but I know you two are the best-" Budo paused to touch both of their shoulders. "-I'm trusting my club to you two during this next week."
Mina and Sho both looked at each other before nodding at Budo. "Alright then… We'll do everything we can to keep the club up and running while you're gone!" Show proudly spoke as he smiled proudly at Budo.
"I know you two will. You're both the best," Budo gave them both a pat on the shoulder before walking forward. "Don't worry, it'll just be for a week. It'll fly by before you know it!" He smiled at them happily before turning around. Once his back was turned to his friends his smile faded and turned into a sickly smirk. He had one whole week to get Inkyu and Makasado together and nothing was going to stop him now. Nothing.
Budo practically had hearts in his eyes Monday morning as he followed Ayano. She was dirty, it seemed that she had crashed her bike once again and landed in the mud. His little angel; even when dirty she was beautiful. Budo kept his distance when he saw her turn into the showers. He knew he shouldn't waste too much time on this but he needed a peek, just one. Being quiet he looked inside the changing room. He saw a bit of pale skin and shamefully backed away. Shutting his eyes for a moment, his heart beating rapidly, and his palms shaking Budo turned and looked once again. Ayano was gone. She must have made her way to the bathtub. Budo knew he shouldn't have done this, but he opened her locker and peeked inside. He felt his face flush as he reached into the locker and grabbed a pair of pink polka dotted panties. Budo was going to treasure these. Forever. Keeping the panties hidden on his person he ran out of the locker room before he got caught by his beloved.
Going to his locker inside the school. He silently shoved the panties into his locker. Making sure nobody saw him, he shut his locker.
"I can't believe this!" He heard Ayano scream to Kokona as the two walked passed him. "I know I put them in my locker… god, this is so embarrassing…" Ayano's face turned a shade of pink.
"I can't believe some creeper stole your panties!…" Kokona exclaimed loudly. Ayano nudged Kokona bitterly in the ribs. Budo wanted nothing more than to listen in on the two, but he had business to do and very little time for errors.
He saw Inkyu going up towards the roof with her sister being quick; Budo tapped Inkyu's shoulder.
"Excuse me, Inkyu?"
Inkyu turned and looked at him a little shocked.
"Budo-Senpai? Is there something you need?" She asked him. Budo watched as her sister just kept on walking. Swallowing a lump he gave Inkyu a smile.
"Well… a little birdy told me that you have a crush on Makasado. Is that true?" Budo asked her as innocently as he could muster. He then gave her a smile to try and seem as innocent as possible.
Inkyu's eyes went as wide as possible as she looked at Budo. "I… okay! Yes! I have a crush on Makasado… but he doesn't know! I'm invisible to him!" Inkyu frowned deeply as she looked down sadly. "I've been his friend since grade school, and… He still chooses someone else over me." She sighed.
"Oh, you poor thing…what if I said you could get that relationship with Makasado that you deserve?" Budo asked her softly.
"Why would you help me?" Inkyu asked him skeptical by his interest in her life.
"Look… I just want to help…" He quickly lied to her. " I hear you wanting him, and I just want to help you."
Inkyu looked at him clearly sizing him up and trying to see if he meant well. Finally, after a few minutes, she seemed to relax.
"You'll help me? For real?"
"Yes, Don't worry, I'll see what will change Makasado's mind," Budo told her gently before turning around and walking away from her. "I'll see you at lunch." With a smirk on his face, Budo walked down the stairs. He needed to get on Makasado's good side and he knew just how to do that. Jogging down the stairs, Budo turned being careful so he's not being caught by his disciples, he quickly turned into the cooking club where Masakado was. The boy was making some sort of sauce in a pan on the stove. He was sprinkling all sorts of ingredients in the pan from garlic to salt.
"Excuse me, are you Makasado-" Before Budo could finish his sentence, Makasado put a spoon into Budo's mouth.
"Taste that for me," Makasado demanded as he went back to stirring the sauce with a different spoon. Budo was honestly surprised on how good the sauce truly tasted.
"That's… really good," Budo admitted.
"Of course it is! I made it," Makasado proudly announced as he added some more seasoning to the sauce mix.
"Yeah… hey so… I was wondering if you needed any help?" Budo asked him. Makasado looked at Budo with narrowed eyes. He was shorter than Budo by a good foot and only went up to Budo's chest, his green hair rather wild looking as he narrowed his eyes at Budo.
"Why would you help me?" He challenged Budo as he crossed his arms. It took Budo all of his strength not to punch the little twirp then and there. Still he gave Makasado a fake smile before making up a pretty convincing lie.
"I just seem like you need something," Budo told him in a proud voice.
"Hm…" Makasado backed down as he went back to his sauce stirring it at a fast rate. "I hate to admit this, but I lost one of my ingredients that would make this sauce absolutely perfect!... it's for a teacher and I need this sauce to be of its highest quality!"
Bribing teachers with food? Or just being a kiss-ass? Either way, it's not high enough to get him expelled, plus I don't have much proof on that… Budo thought for a few seconds before looking back at Makasado. "What ingredient?" he asked with a shrug.
"Ginger. I've been asking the leader of the gardening club to lend me some of her fresh ginger, but she refuses! I just need a small bit of ginger! If you could get me that: I would be in your debt for sure," Makasado spoke to Budo softly. Budo gave him a nod.
"Club leaders have to stick together! I'll see what I can do," With that Budo quickly turned. Looking at the clock on the wall he saw that it was seven-thirty. He had thirty minutes to get the gardening club leader to change her mind about the fresh ginger. Shouldn't be too hard.
"I told Makasado, and I'm telling you. No. I can't just 'spare' my ginger, It's too early for it to be picked." She told Budo simply as she walked by a row of her plants.
"Isn't there some-"
"No. I'm sorry," She told Budo before finally walking away. Budo let out a bitter sigh. Maybe Info-chan could help him. Taking out his phone he started to text her.
Don't suppose you've got ginger on you? He sent the text. He didn't have to wait long for a response back.
No, but for a fee of five panty shots, I can get you a pack of cigarettes.
How can cigarettes help me?
I thought it was obvious. She's a smoker.
I'll get you those panty shots.
Budo no longer felt dirty taking panty shots for Info-chan he was quick and efficient with his shots and made sure he wasn't caught. After sending the shots to Info-chan he received his box of cigarettes and made his way back to the garden club leader.
"A little birdy told me you might be interested in these?" He told her as he flashed the box to her. He watched as the leader's eyes went wide.
"Sh! Are you trying to get me in trouble?" She demanded loudly to Budo. Grabbing his hand she lead him behind the shed. "Alright, you caught me. So I have a guilty pleasure, we all do." Budo only smirked widely at her.
"You give me that ginger, I'll give you these cigarettes and we can both be on our way. How about that?" He asked her as he wiggled the box in front of her face. The leader seemed to hesitate for a moment before letting out a loud sigh.
"Fine. Take the ginger, but you better not tell anybody about this!" She scolded before snatching the box from his hand.
"No problem. Thanks."
After collecting his ginger, Budo made his way back to the cooking club.
"Ginger. As promised," He told Makasado. Makasado almost couldn't believe it. He was grateful as Budo watched him cut bits of ginger up and put it in the saucepan.
"Thanks, I owe you one. Whatever you need, I'll help," He told Budo with a bow of the head. Budo watched as he put the sauce on top of some steaks and wrapped them up in clear wrap. "My sensei will love this."
The bell overhead rang loudly, telling Budo it was time for class. So he couldn't pester Makasado any longer. Still, he knew just what he needed to do come lunch time.
