Yuki hit the tennis ball against the wall with a 'pok!'
Hm, so people are trying to unmask me.
'pok!'
Class 2-A's, Hoshikawa Nobara, is very talented in art. Ayakashi Ayumi, star of the track team, both avid fans of the tennis team, they probably think I'm too close to the team.
'pok!'
I need to get closer to them… Hm, I could join the art club. I'm somewhat decent at art
'pok!'
But I have tennis practice… Oh well, Art club it is!
Yuki grabbed the ball from midair. She felt it spin in her hand before coming to a stop.
"Hn, but there are ranking matches coming up," Yuki murmured.
"Nani? Cho-chan, did you say something?" Oishi asked, concernedly.
"No, I'm fine," Yuki said, before jogging back to the locker rooms.
"Oi! There's still… five minutes left," Oishi said quietly.
Tezuka watched her go, unsurprised. She always leaves early.
Yuki changed quickly and ran up to the art room. She peeked in through the door. Nobara was in there, painting something. Yuki observed the painting. It was a sunset, with scarlets and oranges streaked across the sky, the clouds casting purple shadows on the shadowy mountains. Yuki smirked and pulled out her phone. She sent a text to Tezuka, Oi, Mitsu-nii, I need to stay a little extra after school, so walk home by yourself.
Tezuka replied, Ok.
Yuki sat a little ways down the hallway and watched Nobara leave the art room. Yuki slipped in and observed the painting up close. She noticed tiny details, like Nobara's kanji written in the wisps of the clouds. Or down near the grassy meadow, there were flowers that alternated in a violet-white pattern. She smirked again and pulled out a blank canvas.
A few hours later, Yuki wiped her forehead, leaving a streak of purple on her brow. Yuki left the room quietly, and started to walk back home.
In the middle of the room sat Nobara's picture, repainted with a big black butterfly stamped on the surface.
xXx
The next day, Yuki went up to the art room as soon as tennis practice finished. She waited silently, watching from the shadows. Yuki watched Nobara and Ayumi walk into the art room, and waited.
Yuki finally smirked with satisfaction and walked down to Class 1-A, she had heard Nobara's scream, and that was enough.
Hmph, now's there's the other one I have to worry about.
xXx
Nobara's scream ran through the hallways of Seigaku. Ayumi stared, horrified at the sight of Nobara's portrait, and the Black Butterfly's repainted version right next to it. Ayumi inspected it closer, every detail was exact.
"Nobara," Ayumi said suddenly.
Nobara looked up from her sniffling, "What?"
"Who are we messing with?"
xXx
Yuki stared at the track team's practice. She had skipped out on practice when she asked Tezuka if she could work on speed drills in the field. Yuki eyed the water bottles on the bench. She picked out Ayumi's water bottle and noted its position.
Yuki slipped through the gate as the track team moved further down. She opened Ayumi's water bottle and poured out all the water. She pulled a corked beaker out of her bag, full of Inui's Golden Deluxe Remix and poured it into Ayumi's water bottle. She ran to the water fountains and taped up a picture of a black butterfly right above it.
Yuki slipped back into the outer field. She started doing cartwheels, aerials, tucks, handsprings and anything else acrobatic she could think of. Yuki launched herself into the air did a toe touch, and flipped around while still in the split position. She landed perfectly.
"Ne, it worked out," Yuki said, smiling.
She heard gagging from the inner field. Yuki turned around to see Ayumi racing to the water fountains. She peeked around the corner to see Ayumi going pale once seeing the butterfly sign.
Yuki walked calmly back to the tennis courts.
"Step One, Complete," Yuki said, smirking.
xXx
It's not over yet! ^.^
