A/N: Well, for this chapter (and the following of course), Devlin Dracul gave me a hint which was very interesting. Thanks to him I don't have to create some annoying OC's...saves me some time and effort. In this chapter Furuichi hears about his new allies, and has to find a way to convince them to follow him. Nuff said.
And as always: enjoy!
Yawning Furuichi stood up. He decided to go to school today, most likely due to the fact what his parents would say if he didn't. At least he would look after Akihisa. He hoped that Akihisa had some good candidates, and he also hoped that Akihisa had gained credibility. This wouldn't only provide him with some money, Furuichi could also spread false information much easier.
"I have to remind myself of censorship...I don't want Akihisa to say to much...", he said to himself as he brushed his teeth. He dressed and packed his bag; well, he put his lunch into his bag. He never experienced any kind of teachings at Ishiyama, so he did not have to take books or anything else with him.
"I'm going to school!", he shouted, hearing Honoka wishing him a good day.
He had been walking a mere five minutes, when he met Akira. 'Ugh, not her again.', he thought, but smiled nevertheless. "Good morning, Akira! Do you live around here or do you wait for me here everyday?", he smirked. "I live here. What else did you think? No offense intended." "Nah, I'm used to it. Say, Akira, could you do me a favor?" "Depends." "If you go check out the Red Tails today, could you please tell Chiaki that I want to meet up with Kunieda and the others? Chiaki is the one with the cape. Black hair, shy.", Furuichi said. "Well, I did not want to go there, but I can tell them, if you want me to.", she lied. "What do you mean by 'Meet Kunieda'?" "Just reviving old times. I'll talk to Kunieda anyway, but I just want the Red Tails to know, just in case." Furuichi laughed sheepishly, putting on the mask of a creep.
"Akira, how do you like Ishiyama?" Furuichi tried to keep the conversation going, wanting to get some more information out of her. "I don't know...I mean, I've been here for two days. It seems to be...exciting?" Both laughed. "Well, if you think that is exciting, what kind of school have you been to prior?" "The middle school in the neighborhood. Nothing special, no thugs or anything." "Aha.", said Furuichi, telling himself to ask someone about that.
They had arrived. "I have to go now, see you later!", he said, pretending to go up to the third floor. He knelt down at the stairs and saw how Akira went up to the second floor. 'She'll be telling it Chiaki right now. Perfect.', Furuichi thought.
"Good morning!" Akira walked into the Red Tails' classroom. "Any interesting news, Aki-chan?", asked Chiaki. "I think he fell for the trap. Man, he really is a creep. He asked me to tell you something, if I would see you by some miracle. Heck, he even told me how you look." "And what does he want us to know?", asked Yuka. "He said he wanted to meet Kunieda and the others." Silence.
"W-wait, why are you all so shocked?!", asked another new member. "This is a private matter. Excuse us." Chiaki and Yuka left the classroom and headed for the roof.
As soon as they had arrived, they looked at each other, slightly shocked. "What do you think he wants? Confess to her?", said Yuka. "No, he said 'and the others'." "But, Chiaki, does he mean the old Red Tails crew or the Ishiyama gang?" "How should I know? We have to talk to him. Yuka, do you still have his number?" "Yeah." She took out her phone and dialed Furuichis number.
A few minutes earlier...
Furuichi went to visit Akihisa. Or at least he had thought so. He just arrived at the staircase, as some thugs approached him. "Heard you took out some freshmen." "Yeah. So what?", asked Furuichi bored. "Guess what, asshole. Don't pretend to be the big boss just because you beat them up. You don't stand a chance against us, little prick." "Shut your fucking mouth and fuck off.", said Furuichi, ready to summon a demon.
"That's it, motherfucker!" The delinquent took out a switchblade and lunged at Furuichi. Furuichi immediately summoned Agiel, dodged the attack and grabbed the thugs wrist. He held it firmly, then twisted it and broke it. The delinquent dropped the knife, but Furuichi caught it. Letting Agiel gain more control, he surrounded the blade with demonic energy.
"Agiel?", he muttered to himself, speaking with her. "Yeah, Furuichi?" "Do you think the next move should be named after you or can I name my own technique?" Looking at Furuichi, Agiel sighed. "Furuichi, name it how you want. Apparently you're still a child." "Men don't grow up, they grow older.", smirked Furuichi. Then he held up the switchblade. "100 Demons..." He moved his arm a bit, "Dark Slash!" In a blink of an eye he stood behind the other thugs.
"Well, Agiel, that worked quite good. Thank you." "Not everyone can use my powers that good, Furuichi. And name your moves all the way you want, you invented them." Thus said, the delinquents fell to the grounds, cuts all over their bodies. "Yeah, you're right. If it had been your attack, they'd be dead now." He threw the knife away and descended to the first floor.
"Ah, I want to know what this is all about!", said Akira bored. "Don't you think that something mysterious is going on?", she asked. "Well, Furuichi and the inner core of the Red Tails fought together sometimes, so they know each other. They may be even closer than you think. But I really don't know, Aoi-san didn't tell us much back then.", a senior Red Tail member said.
"Back then?", asked Akira confused. "Yeah, back then. We had some really big fights, one was with the Akumano High. Don't know what happened exactly, we just came here overnight and fought the whole night."
"Well, I guess I'll go ask Furuichi myself.", said Akira and stood up. "Hey! Where do you think you're going?!" "On the third floor of course.", answered Akira. "You can't go alone! It's too dangerous! We'll come with you."
Together they went to the third floor, but what they saw shocked them beyond belief: four delinquents with cuts all over their bodies lied in puddles of their own blood. "Fuck! Ambulance! Call an ambulance!", shouted someone. "Who did this to you?", asked Akira. One thug looked up and mumbled in pain: "The...the General."
Furuichi met Akihisa. "What's up. Did anyone buy some information from you?" "Yeah, I made quite a lot of money.", said Akihisa happy. "By the way, here's your share so far." He gave Furuichi 4000 Yen. "Nice. Listen, Akihisa, I don't have to tell you that you can't tell everyone anything, right? Whenever I say a topic is taboo, you lie, and you tell the lie I made up for you." "Yes, I already thought so.", sighed Akihisa. "But no problem, Furuichi. Only because of you I don't get fucked up; I mean, I even get some profits, so I'll do whatever you say." "Good boy. Now, did you find someone?" "Well...kinda. Look at this." Akihisa handed him a sheet of paper.
"So, these are the strong people, but I guess they're not strong enough. But I found an interesting group.", said Akihisa. "A group? I'd prefer individuals." "But, Furuichi, the group is just a name for a bunch of strong individuals. Some of them even have subordinates.", insisted Akihisa. "Okay, Akihisa. And how exactly are they named?" "Six Omens of slaughter."
Silence followed, only to be interrupted by Furuichis ringing phone. "Yuka? I'm on the first floor, last classroom. Yeah, come over. I'll stay here." He ended the call.
"I think you don't know that, but the Omens and I share a little, slightly unfortunate incident in the past. By the way, Akihisa, there are just four of them here right now, right?" "You knew?", asked Akihisa surprised. "Yeah, Takamiya and Fuji went with Oga on a trip. Don't tell it, though." "If you say so. Anyway, Furuichi, the Omens may be strong, but aren't you stronger?" After a short time of thinking Furuichi smiled. "Yes. Yes, I am. I will take care of them."
Chiaki and Yuka were on their way to Furuichi, when Yukas phone rang. "Yes? Aki-chan? What happened? Never. No, I don't believe you. Send me a photo. I'll call you back."
"What was that all about?", asked Chiaki. "Well, Aki-chan said they went to the third floor for some business, and they found some mutilated delinquents. She said the creep did it." "Furuichi? Never." "I said it, too. She sent me a picture, look.", said Yuka and showed Chiaki the photo. "I've seen worse, but that's still fucked up. I'll talk to him about it.", said Chiaki angry.
They walked down the hallway and saw Furuichi in a classroom. Now he had to explain a few things...
