Chapter 4: The Predator and Rumors
"Master! Would you like a report on the rumored couple?" Asked a tall man wearing a suit with short black hair, the typical Japanese man. He was holding a briefcase in his left hand.
His master let loose a small chuckle. "Why yes, Takashi, I would love to see it. Or would you like to read to me instead?" His voice was low and intimidating. It gave you the idea that if you were to disobey him, your head would be ripped off in a second. Yet even with his powerful voice, he could have a sweet smile and soft and kind voice. But the second, was just a mask.
"Hino Kahoko and Tsukimori Len were sighted kissing on the shoreline. Afterwards, Hino was holding on to something, which made Tsukimori interested, and asked her about it. I was not able to hear the conversation, but Hino looked as if she were about to cry. And then brought Tsukimori into a tight embrace. They just stayed like that for over ten minutes not saying anything. So I left. That is all, master." He bowed to his master in respect.
"…" His master put in a thinking pose. "Rise your head, Takashi." Takashi did as his master asked him to do. "Call my driver, I must get home soon before grandmother finds that I have been out of the house for a long period of time."
"Yes, master." He bowed one more time before he took his leave.
"These two are so troublesome…" He mumbled to himself before he grabbed his coat and stepped into his shoes. Today will be a long day of planning. I want it to be simple, yet hurtful… Hmm…
As the master walked out of the apartment, he saw his partner walk his way. "Hello, Master 2." He couldn't help himself but laugh at his partner's nickname.
"Tsk. Just because you started this doesn't mean you are just master while I am 'Master 2'. I don't find it fair, Yunoki-sama."
"Poor little Master 2. He doesn't like his name. But he can't leave. Because if he were to, he just might have to pay the consequences." A devilish smile cursed Azuma's lips. "So, when shall we put this plan to action?"
"I think we shall give her a warning first. If she does not comply, we give her a second warning and small punishment. Which we know will probably happen since she is such a stubborn child. And if she does not comply still, we shall give her a large punishment for disobeying our orders. And if and when that time comes, she will be spending some 'quality' time with us."
"He he he. Not a bad idea. On their next date we will give her a warning. Maybe earlier if possible. Takashi!"
Azuma's servant came running after hearing his master's command. "Yes master?"
"I want you to keep me posted on the new couple. Once you figure out their next date, inform me right away. And you will not come back without the answers. Got it?"
Takashi nodded his head slightly. "Yes, Master."
*Monday, at school. Kahoko's classroom.*
"Kahoko! Over here!" Nao called from her seat as she saw Kahoko come through the classroom door.
"Oi! Hi Nao, Mio! I'm not late am I?" Kahoko replied as she entered the classroom.
"Nope, you're actually five minutes early! Good job!" Mio gave her two thumbs up.
As Kahoko sat down in her seat, she remembered something. "Oh yeah! Hey guys I have something to tell you. But you cannot scream or repeat what I'm about say, okay?"
Her two friends gave her questioning looks. "Is everything okay Kahoko…?" Nao was the one who decided to break the silence.
"Better than okay." Kahoko had a huge grin plastered on her face. Mio and Nao's eyes widened at her answer and reaction.
"You didn't lose your virginity…. Did you?" Mio whispered to Kahoko.
"What the hell are you thinking! No I did not lose my virginity! You pervert!" Kahoko hissed back blushing eight shades of red.
"Then what did happen?" Nao was curious to Kahoko's cheery mood.
Kahoko looked at her surroundings making sure no one was looking their way. Once the coast was clear, Kahoko leaned towards her two best friends and whispered her 'little' secret. As Mio and Nao listened to their new found information their eyes widened. Kahoko leaned back to her original position to look at her friends' reactions. She started to laugh but was cut off my Mio and Nao.
"YOU'RE GOING OUT WITH TSUKIMORI LEN!" The two screamed in unison. But earned a hard hit on their heads from Kahoko.
"Shut up you two! You're going to cause a commotion!" But to her dismay, her whole class was surrounding her with questions about her new boyfriend.
"When did you two start going out?"
"So the 'Violin Romance' is true then."
"Have you two kissed?"
And so many more. But the bell rung and the students rushed to their seats as their teacher came into the classroom. Saved by the bell I guess; and the teacher. Kahoko wrote down notes for the teacher's assignment. But her mind seemed to be elsewhere. I wonder how fast the new fact will be spread… Ugh. She sighed and looked out the window.
*After Classes*
Tsuchiura Ryo(?) was walking down the hallway since all classes were over. He was heading to the practice rooms, but heard some people talking about Kahoko. As he came closer to the murmuring, he heard gasps. This caught his attention even more.
"Is she really? No way! Not Hino-san!" That was it, he walked over to the girls.
"What about Kahoko?" He glared at the girls as he stood there waiting for his answer.
"Oh! Tsuchiura-kun!" One of the girls replied to the tall, muscular student. "You haven't heard about Kahoko?" He shook his head. "Rumor has it that Hino-san and Tsukimori-sama are now dating! Word got out this morning!"
His eyes widened at what the girl said. "Is this rumor true?" She shrugged in response. "…" He stood there, thinking and staring at the girl who started to become uncomfortable with his continuing stare. "Thank you." And he walked away, looking for Kahoko to see if his want-to-be-love is actually going out with Prince Ice-Cube.
As he got closer to the practice rooms he ran into Kazuki. "Ah, sorry Hihara-senpai." He looked at his older friend. "Oi, have you heard the rumor about Kahoko?"
"Actually I was about to ask the same thing. So I take it you have?" He nodded in response.
"Want to see if the rumor is true?"
"Sure. Let's ask them. I'm sure it is just a misunderstanding." I hope so at least.
*Practice Room Hallway*
"Well, I don't think it should be that hard to find. There's not too many rooms in this hallway. They are probably in their usual music room. Right Tsuchiura-kun?"
"Yeah, I guess." Tsuchiura shrugged at his senpai. As the two looked through the room windows, they did not see them. They came to the last room. "You ready, Hihara-senpai?"
Kazuki gulped and slightly nodded his head. And what he saw, was not what not what he wanted to see…
TO BE CONTINUED
Ha ha ha! Left it at a cliff hanger! [And for the perverts out there, NO they were NOT having you-know-what in the music room. And I'm sorry for those of you who like Yunoki Azuma. I like him to, he just seemed to make a good character for this part. And his partner in crime is (will be) a complete shocker. I don't even know how I got the idea, I just did! ^_^
And I'm SO~~~~~~~ sorry for the really late update! Like I said in the reviews: I had my laptop taken away from me, I was camping for a week, then I had to stay at a friend's house for another week while my parents out of town without my laptop, and THEN I started having internet connection problems! STUPID COMCAST! Well, I'll try to make the next update come soon! PROMISE! And I'll try to make a longer chapter this time!
Thank you for all your reviews and reading my story!
