Ch 4: I hate No-Late Day
I found myself on the battlefield where Ryuko and Satsuki fought. Ryuko was getting beaten by Satsuki as I was in shock. "Ryuko!" I said as someone stopped me from going to Ryuko. I look behind and saw Tsugumi. She was about to say something then I heard,"We're late!"
I woke up as I saw Mako getting dress, echoing 'we're late'. I look where Ryuko was sleeping but she's already awake. I sigh. It's just a dream...
I stood up and put on my Onketsudo. I smooth it as I look at Ryuko. Maybe Tsugumi is right...but what if? I realize about something and yelled,"HOLY SHIT! IT'S NO-LATE DAY!" I ate breakfast fast as I got drag by Mako.
"You two are fine in your PJs, just move!" Mako said "Oi! I'm not even in my pj!" I said as I was glaring at her.
Ryuko stopped and look at her uniform and asked,"Are you okay, Senketsu?" "'Senketsu'? What's that? You gave your uniform a name? Boy, you must be lonely to do that!" Mako said as I yelled,"Oi! Are we gonna go or not!?" "Right!" She said as we all ran out.
"Wait!" Ryuko said,being drag by Mako as she said,"All the more reason to go to school! There's lots of friends there!" "There's noting but enemies, and you know it!" Ryuko said as I look at her and said,"I totally agreed with that." But then we jump into a crowded of student.
"What's with this mass migration?" Ryuko asked. "There is a day when all of Honnouji Academy's No-Stars put their entire youth on the line when they go to school. That day has dawned! Today is that day! This is No-Late Day!" Mako answer "And I completely hate it." I added, looking at the crowded of students.
We heard some noises as we look up. "I can see that you are confused, Ryuko Matoi!" Gamagoori said. "You're that Elite Four jerk-" Ryuko said as I look at her and said,"Oi! You do-" "Disciplinary Committee Chair and of Honnouji Academy's Elite Four! Ira Gamagoori! Allow me to explain! No-Late Day is a school event that comes once a semester, in which the Disciplinary Committee springs surprises on slacker No-Star students to whip them into shape!" And he explain the whole No-Late Day and how it's work.
He start to notices Ryuko being in her pj as he was saying that it was an insult to the academy and Sasuki as Mako start to talk about her in the pj. He allows it as he press the red button. The whole city has turn into a obstacle, but dangerous way.
"And there's only 3 hours to go until our first class, Ryuko!" Mako said. "The people at this school sure love to hear themselves talk. All right, fine. You're on. I'm gonna bust through every last one of the traps you bozos made!" Ryuko said, pointing the Scissor Blade at Gamagoori. "As you wish! Students, commence commute! Forward, march!" Gamagoori said as the obstacle start...or something. "Mako, Kaito, don't get separated!" "'Kay!" Mako said as I look at Ryuko and said,"Yeah..." I said.
Seriously...I'm feeling like I'm not myself anymore...do I seriously have feelings for her?
But then the stairs turn flat as everyone slide down. I was holding onto one of Mako's leg as I said,"Thank god I didn't get distraction by my question." But me and Mako were thrown to the check point. Mako landed on the check point as I landed on the ground. "God damn! It's hurt!" I said. We notice Gamagoori.
"Congratulations on passing the first checkpoint! I neglected to mention that use of the No-Star commuter cable cars is prohibited! Obey the rules and stick to the prescribed route! And now, gentleman, until we meet again at school!" "There's 999 of these to go! That's more than usual!" "Oh come on! 999!" I complain. "He's screwing with us. Come on, Mako, Kaito!" Ryuko said as someone bump into her.
"Ow, that hurts so much!" The girl said as she fell to the ground.
"You're our classmate, Maiko Ogure!" Mako said as I look at her and about to ask her but then Ryuko asked,"Are you okay? Your arm is hurt!" "Oi! I was about to ask her the thing!" I said. "Why, it's Mankanshoku! And you're Matoi, the transfer student! And Yumiko! Yes,I hurt my arm in that trap just now. But I'll live! I can't give up over something like this!" Maiko said. "Hey, don't overdo it!" Ryuko said as I have a annoy face.
Please don't call me by my last name...I don't like it...
"Hey, Ryuko, Kaito. Since Maiko is hurt, let's take her with us to school!" Mako said. "No! I can't let you! I'd only slow you down!" Maiko said as me and Ryuko look at her. "Oh, okay. We'll go on ahead, then. Don't push yourself too hard, okay?" Ryuko said "Oi! Just please call me Kaito. I hate it when people call me Yumiko." I said.
It's sounded like a girl's name...
"The pain! Hang in there, Maiko! If anyone can make it on her own, it's you!" "Ryuko! Kaito!" Mako said. "For crying out loud...Putting on a brave act, eh? Hold on tight. We'll go to school together." Ryuko said "Thank you, Matoi!" Maiko said. "Don't sweat it. I don't hate girls who push themselves to be strong. But I hate boys who are too much of an ass!" As Ryuko was glaring at me. "Oi! Not all the time!" I said, glaring at her back.
"Ryuko, Kaito, look at that!" Mako said as she was pointing at something. "Isn't that the 2nd checkpoint up ahead? How the heck do you get up there?!" I look up to see as it was only a loop as I saw some of the students falling.
What the...how are we suppose to do that?
-Later-
"I can't hold on anymore..." Maiko said, holding onto Ryuko. "Maiko! Are you okay?!" Ryuko asked as I was going to ask Ryuko then Maiko was sliding off from Ryuko as she held onto Ryuko's pants. It shows her panties as I blush and look away.
"Are you okay, Kaito?" Mako asked as I look at Mako and answer,"Yeah, but that idiot over-there has to slide off and put down her pants."
-Later-
We were dodging the logs,then walking though the planks but then Maiko stopped as me and Mako bump into her and the plank broke. Ryuko caught Mako and Maiko and jump onto each skull as I follow her. Then came along the the big ball rolling down as we ran off then I start to notices that were on top of it and about to tell Ryuko but then it blew up and we flew.
We were walking as Mako notices on the cheese and went to the trap. Ryuko save her but got pie on her face as I start to laugh. "That looks really tasty, Ryuko!" Mako said as I laugh even harder.
We were jumping onto each pillar as Maiko almost fell but then Ryuko fell. "Oi! Ryuko!" I said as I jump into the water to save her from the alligators.
-Time Skip-
"My arm!" Maiko said as Ryuko was helding out her hand to her "Are you okay?!" Ryuko asked as she was going to reach her, Maiko grab her pant again and pull it down halfway.
I look away, blushing again but this time, my nose starts to bleed as Mako notices me and said,"Ryuko! Kaito is actually nose bleeding! Kaito! Are you okay?!" "Yeah...because of that dumb girl over-there!" I answer,glaring at Maiko.
-Time Skip-
"What's time is it?" Ryuko asked. "8AM. Meaning that there are 30 minutes left. This might be difficult. " Maiko answer as I look at the building.
"No! No! If we don't do something, I won't be able to go to school anymore!" Mako commented. Me and Ryuko notices the group of students having a little class. "Hey, Maiko, what's that?" Ryuko asked. "Pseudo-homeroom. Student who have given up on making to school on time, unable to face the reality that they will be kicked out of both school and their homes tomorrow, take attendances with dead, vacant eyes." Maiko answer as I stare at the small class of it.
Man...lucky I'm not like part of that.
Then I heard,"Hey, a school bus is coming!" I look as there were bomb exploded but cause no damage on the bus. Tch...One-Star bus.
"It's passing the checkpoint! No way, they have it so easy! I wanna ride that! I wanna ride , I wanna ride! Mako said as I look at her but then back looking at the school bus.
Maiko fell in front of the bus as the One-Star was yelling at her then Ryuko hit him. We all got on as we beat every single of One Stars out of the bus. We were on the bus as I asked,"Oi,who knows how to-" But then the bus starts to move. Then suddenly, there were bullets hitting us as the bus was getting damage. "What the hell!?" I yelled.
-Later-
We were getting attacks as I saw Mako going up. "Oi! Mako!" I said as I look up. There were so many attacks as we notices the rocket coming. I saw Mako coming down,shooting inside as I said,"Oi! Mako! What the hell are you doing!?" Then the bus roof came off. I start to freak out as Mako said,"Gosh, the view's so much clearer now!" "Are you crazy?! We're gonna die if we get shot!" I said as I look up. "Just a little further, and we're in the Two-Star district!" Then we saw RPG from both side as I scream...but in high pitch.
But then we were able to go faster as the bus flew. We made to school as Ryuko said,"Wake up,everybody! We did it, you guys! We made it! It's the school!" "If we can reach our classroom in 15 minutes,we'll be on time!" Maiko said as Ryuko said,"Awesome, that's a piece of cake!" "Piece of cake!" Mako said "Oh! Kaito! You sound like a girl when you scream! That's so awesome!" "S-shut it!" I said, blushing.
Man...why I sound like a freaking girl?
"We couldn't have done it without you, Maiko! I'm seeing you in a whole new light!" Ryuko said as Maiko look at her and said,"Nonsense, you did all the hard work. Still, I'm happy you think so!" "Yay, we're all friends!" Mako said as I notices something wary about Maiko then I start to realized something.
Maybe I shouldn't trust her in the first place.
Mako look at me and asked,"Kaito, why are you over there? Come join us!" "Hell no!" I said as Ryuko was about to say something to me but then Guts came with Senketsu. "Look, Ryuko! Guts has brought you your uniform! Hey, Guts!" Mako said as I was glaring at Maiko. "Oi! Ryuko! I wou-" I said but then I got interuped as Maiko said,"Oh, the pain!" As she fell and pull down Ryuko's pant.
Then someone kick Guts as he flew off. I glare at Maiko and said,"I knew it..." "You let your guard down, Ryuko...No, Ryuko Matoi, I should say. I've been waiting for this moment for ages!" Maiko said. "Shit, I shouldn't have trust you in the first place." I said.
"This injured No-Star classmate was but a fake identity! My true identity...is Maiko Ogure, Disciplinary Committee Head of Trap Development!" Maiko said "Trap development,huh?" Ryuko said "That's right! A shadowy figure who remains undercover among the common students, spying on their behavior and developing traps! That is what the Head of Trap Development does! But I had grown sick and tired of that life. I had a flash of inspiration when I overheard your conversation with Gamagoori over the surveillance cameras. I would steal the Kamui, a Goku Uniform which held within it the power to go toe-to-toe with Lady Sasuki. using this uniform, I could be a Two-Star- No, be one of Elites- No, steal the throne from Lady Sasuki herself! Yes! I'll become empress of Honnouji Academy and indulge in every luxury the academy has to offer! I can hardly wait!" Maiko explain.
"Oh! That's remind me!" She pull out a paper and threw it at me but I caught it. I look at the paper as I open it and saw what it said. "Oi! Who is this from?!" I asked "Lady Satsuki so-called guard named Tsugumi Hayashi. She told me to give it to you if I see you. But I'm glad she didn't suspect anything!" I glare at her as I look at the note.
"Maiko, it sounds like you had everyone fooled." Ryuko said as Mako, then, start to explain to Maiko to give Ryuko's uniform back.
She put on the Kamui as she start to transform. She went to try it out was she went to Mako first but then Ryuko came as I was about to do that but then Maiko stop. I saw that her body didn't move so I stop going to Ryuko.
Ryuko punch Maiko as she took off the Kamui from her. I saw the blood coming out from the Kamui. Ryuko was talking to her Kamui as I smile a little. I realize something as I look at my outfit... I was wearing mine this whole time.
God damn it! I shouldn't have known that I was wearing this! I thought I was wearing my No-Star outfit but yet it was this! Maybe if I would've found out earlier...it'll be just so faster to go through...
But then I heard,"Look, Ryuko and Kaito! There's only five minutes to go until the first period bell rings! We have to hurry!" As we ran to the school but then...it wasn't the school...it's fake!
We were riding down all the way to the beginning as Maiko was explaining about that trap as she jump off and had the parashoot open. We landed into the sea as Mako notices the station where One-Stars goes.
We got on as we were going straight to the academy. "Oi! You'll think we'll go on time?!" I asked "Yeah,yeah!" Ryuko answer as I look at Mako getting all excited to be on.
-Later-
It was in 30 second as Ryuko cut off the rope and we were set flying from being close to the station to our classroom. The teacher saw us taking our seat as he asked,"Ryuko Matoi?" She sigh and said,"President." While raising her hand as I groan and place my head on the desk.
"Kaito Yumiko?" He said as I raise my hand and said,"Here..." And drop them down. But I look at the note again as it said: Meet me at the ally right, at midnight.
-Time Skip-
I went to the ally and saw Tsugumi. I asked,"Oi! Tsugumi! What do you want?" She look at me and said,"I could sense that you're in love with her." "And what if I'm not?" I asked "Your not! Your seriously in love with her but you tend not to show it!" She said as I made a 'tch' sound. "Wait...you're jealous,aren't you?" I asked. I notices Tsugumi got mad and said,"Didn't I tell you! I told you I've fallen for someone for real and need advice from you!" But then I realize something...
Wait...she could be right...I am!
I look down and said,"Sorry...maybe you're right...I am in love with Ryuko...is that I haven't found it out." "Sensei...I completely hated her!" She said as I asked,"And why?" "Because she was rude to Lady Sasuki! And the only two I honor the most is you and Lady Satsuki!" I look down and said,"Whatever...but...I truly want to know more about Ryuko more...and she's very special to me...and her fighting skill got me interest." "Sensei...I guess our talk is over...bye." As she left. I look at her walking away as I went to Mako's home.
I guess she is right...I am falling for her...I guess...I should get along with her more...
Thank god... I'm sorry that near the end is like dramatic but eh, Kaito is thinking about getting along with Ryuko...or not but sorry about some scene being skipped because, yeah, I'm too lazy.
