Kaoru's pov
Momoko, Miyako and I were walking to school the next day. The girls were telling me about their encounters with the boys yesterday at the mall.
"What about you Kaoru-chan, did you meet up with Butch last night?" Miyako asked me.
"Yeah. He told me that they were warning us and they only told us so we wouldn't get in the king's way." I replied. I didn't want to lie to them so I left out the nicknames and the chasing and all of that stuff.
"Do you girls think we should believe them?" Momoko asked us. "I mean they seemed pretty serious."
We all nodded and I said, "I think we should. I mean Butch was actually talking to me in a serious tone. He never speaks in a serious tone. Miyako you said that Boomer seemed scary, Boomer is never scary. Boomer always talks to you in a nice way. Even when fighting you, Boomer is nice to you. Momoko you said Brick used an honorific. We all know Brick hates honorifics. They have to be telling the truth."
The girls agreed with me and we all said we will be careful from now on. When we walked in to school we went to our homeroom. We realized that when we got there Brick and Boomer seemed a little tensed and Butch seemed a little mad. (A/N the boys have all of the same classes with the girls.) We were going to our seats but for some reason I walked over to Butch.
"What's wrong Butch?" I asked. My friends seemed shocked that I asked and his brothers seemed… scared. They even went over to the girls and pulled them away from me and Butch.
"What do you mean by that?" Butch growled. He hit the table with a lot of force. Luckily it was only the six of us in the room right now. I flinched a little, surprised at his response.
"I-I meant…well you just seem so mad… I just was wondering what's wrong." I replied back. I was actually afraid of him right now. It seems like he can break me in half with a single touch.
Butch visibly calmed down from hearing how frightened I was. He took a deep breath and raised his hand. I was still afraid so I flinched again thinking he was going to hurt me.
He sighed and gently put his hand and on my face. He caressed it and said, "I'm sorry Kaoru. I didn't mean to scare you. I was just angry at something that happened earlier this morning. I shouldn't have snapped on you."
I loosened up a bit not realizing how tensed I was. I saw Miyako let go of Boomer since she was wrapped all up on him from being scared and I saw Momoko let go of Brick's hand since she squeezed the life out of it from being scared.
"I think your friends are scared too. Would you mind telling them sorry for me?" He said. I just nodded and walked over to my friends. I whispered what he said and they nodded too. We walked over to our sets and waited for the class to come in.
Butch's brothers reluctantly went over to him and he told them something. I never knew how scary Butch could be. The class finally came in and sat down. Today was an all homeroom day so we didn't have regular classes. My friends and I stayed close to each other.
Time skip afterschool
After lunch my friends and I finally returned to our normal selves. I was the first one to because I saw how bad Butch felt for scaring me so badly and also I told myself I am not a girly girl. I will not run away in fear all day. My friends then saw how I was able to go back to normal so they felt safer.
I had to go to my locker so I ran and told my friends I'll meet up with them soon. I was about to run back to them but I heard Brick and Boomer talking. I stopped to listen.
"You know he wants to talk to us right?" Boomer said.
"I know. He probably wants to talk about today." Brick replied.
"You think he's mad at us?" Boomer asked.
"I hope he's not. The King's anger is not something we want to see. If he is mad at us, there is nobody to calm him down. We would have to face his wrath alone." Brick gulped after saying that.
"Well we might as well get it over with. Off to the king." Boomer said.
They are going to see this legendary king. If I follow them all of my question could be answered. If I get caught, this king will kill me. It's a risk I must take. I send Momoko and Miyako a message saying I have to do something very important and I'll talk to them later. They replied ok and I turned off my phone. I started to follow the boys.
They didn't realize that I was following them which is good for me. I was wondering where was Butch but then I remembered that he left before his brothers because he was in such a bad mood.
I followed them to some dark and scary place. Well it's too late to turn back now. I followed them into the place and in to what look like a throne room. I hid behind a pillar and listened.
I saw the boys bow but that's it. I didn't look up to see the king. I was afraid that he would see me.
"You wanted to see us my king." Brick said.
"Yes. Now you two must think I am mad at you." I heard him say. Where do I know that voice from?
"Why do you say that my king?" Boomer asked.
"Because you two only refer to me as "my king" when I am angry." He said. The voice sounds so familiar. It sounds so serious and dangerous but familiar. Where do I know this voice from? It's on the tip of my tongue.
"Well you were so angry this morning my king…" Brick started
"We just wanted to be careful." Boomer finished.
Wait a minute, this morning. Only one person I know of that was mad this morning. I started to connect the pieces. Brick and Boomer were scared this morning. His voice sounds so familiar. Butch is not here. They only call him my king when he is angry. All of that points to one thing…
Butch IS the KING!
