Singing! The Story Chapter 3
"Come on, I'll try to make sure that you don't get hurt this time, but you can tell Ms. Yamanaka if something happens. She doesn't really like Rit-chan." Mio tried to give her a reassuring nod, but Yui could tell she was shaken. The brunette decided to try to lift the mood with a giggle, which was responded to immediately with a puzzled expression by Mio. "The younger girls are always like this." Yui quickly explained. Mio froze before she could make a response. "What is it- OH!" Yui realized what had happened.
"Hi." The girl said. "Hiya, Rit-chan!" Yui responded to Ritsu. Instead of making her happy, she scored herself a cold glare. "How many times do I have to tell you, don't call me Rit-chan!" She yelled. "Well, you used to always let m-." Yui was cut off once again.
"Keyword: USED. Now to the point, why are you with little Mio here?" Mio gained confidence. "Hey, I never gave you permission to call me by my first name!" She said annoyed. "That makes two of us, then." Ritsu replied. "Now, Yui? I'm still waiting." Yui stepped forwards as she answered the question. "She's my friend, got a problem with that?" Word choice was crucial, which is something Yui had yet to master. "I'm your friend too, right? Don't you always pursue that fact to everyone?" Mio was surprised at this girl's vocabulary, but then again, she HAD been accepted into this school. "Well, is it such a crime to spend my time with someone else?! I do it with Mugi-chan and Azu-nyan, and you couldn't care less!" Yui was losing her calm and became overcome with fierce determination. The action was used against her, though, as Ritsu smirked like she always did when she angered someone. "Well this girl is... unique." If she was going for a threat, her chances had just been blown. At least, that's what they thought.
"Azusa!" Ritsu called the short girl over. Azusa's appearance seemed innocent enough, but there was something hidden behind her brownish red eyes. "Hold her down, and please, disregard Yui." She said to Azusa while pointing to Mio. The petite girl pushed Yui to the side easily, then grabbed Mio's hands and held them firmly behind the young girl's back, as if she were arresting her. "Here we go!" Ritsu said, walking forwards. Mio shut her eyes and turned her head to the right. Yui tried desperately to get Azusa to let go.
Suddenly, a voice shouted out.
"Stop it this instant!" Everyone froze. Yui, Mio, Ritsu, and Azusa turned immediately. "Ms. Yamanaka!" Yui said in relief. Sawako Yamanaka stepped forwards and looked down at the four. "What in the world is going on?" Mio won this time as she spoke first the fastest. "Tainaka-sempai and, um... who are you?" Mio asked, pointing to the twin-tailed girl. "A-Azusa Nakano, grade 7." Azusa replied. "Okay, Tainaka-sempai and Nakano-sempai were trying to attack me! While actually it was more Nakano-sempai holding me down and Tainaka-sempai about to attack, but..." Mio began to murmur but thankfully had gotten all the important stuff out. Sawako took over from there. "Okay, Nakano-san, this is your second warning for helping Ritsu. One more time and I'm telling the principal. As for you..." The teacher completely directed her attention to the light brunette. "Detention. And if it happens again, it'll be all recesses for that day." "Yes, Ms. Yamanaka." Ritsu agreed.
Mio looked at the girl, completely puzzled how she didn't even try to fight a little about it. Ritsu was completely pale and her eyes were full of fear. Wait, there's no way... Mio thought to herself. Once the teacher left, Ritsu herself turned around and began to walk away. "Um, Ritsu-sempai?" Azusa stuttered at the strange behavior. "Come on, let's not mess with them now." Ritsu said back, then began talking to the two. "I'll let you off the hook today. And, I guess first recess tomorrow. And you can spend those recesses with her, Yui, I guess." That sounded completely out of character for Ritsu, to all three of them. Azusa quickly trotted off to join her.
"And that's Azu-nyan for you." Yui sadly said. What a strange nickname. "Oh! And that was our teacher. See, she doesn't really like Rit-chan." The bell blared and ended the two's conversation. They exchanged goodbyes and headed towards their class' line up. As Mio rushed to her line, her observation kept circling her head. Yui, you missed one fact! Ritsu is scared of Ms. Yamanaka!
RITSU is SCARED of MS. YAMANAKA!
A/N: So here's chapter 3. If you're wondering what Ritsu was about to when Azusa was holding Mio down, I've got no idea. And the next chapter may be delayed by a day because I have to translate some stuff. Thank you for the 110 views! Please continue to support this story by favoriting and reviewing.
