Mamori's POV
Chapter 7... Realizations & Discoveries
"I can't believe it," I started, anxiety, fear, and motherly instincts all apparent on my face. "Sena- he's become..."
"What happened to Sena?" Wakana-chan asked, curious as to why I am acting the way I am.
"He's... he's become... s-se-sel-" I was cut-off by a familiar cry.
"Hiii!" I could hear Sena sprinting errands for his bullies again.
"I wish they would stop." I thought, frowning.
"Anezaki-chan~ what's wrong with Sena?" Wakana-chan leaned in and waved a hand in my face to get my attention.
"Ah, right, sorry. Uhm, well, I believe that..." I looked off. "Sena is... has become... self-conscious."
"What?" Wakana-chan asked, more confused than shocked or surprised. "Aren't most people our age?"
"Sena didn't used to be self-conscious! Not too much, at least. He just doesn't have any confidence." I twiddled my thumbs nervously.
"So, what does this mean?"
"It means Sena has been affected by something that did that... right?"
Wakana-chan gasped.
"Oh my God! What happened to Sena?" she started freaking out, just like I was mentally a minute ago- and kinda still am.
What happened last night that made him so self-conscious? He is blushing constantly, and he is a little bit sensitive, now, too. What are the possibilities available?
"Anezaki-chan~! We gotta go interrogate Sena! We gotta beat the truth outta him! Now!" Wakana-chan tugged at my arm, trying to pull me off to go "beat the truth" out of Sena.
"Wa-wait! What if I'm wrong?" I asked.
"We'll figure that out when we ask, now won't we?" she continued.
Sighing nervously, I followed along.
Finding Sena would be impossible during lunch- since that's when he gets pushed around the most. In fact, we didn't find him. So, I left a note in his shoe locker, telling him to wait after school for me- Wakana-chan would wait at the gate after she got out of school.
After school, we were looking for where Sena may be waiting for us. Walking quietly around the school's perimeter, we heard voices as we approached the area behind the gym.
"Hey, fucking angel," we heard a dark, serpent-like voice speak. "Why are you still at this fucking learning castle? Are you trying to keep me waiting?"
"N-no-o. I- Mamori-neechan asked me to stay after. She needs to talk to me about something." I heard Sena's voice whimper beneath the dark one.
"Oh? So you really are trying to keep me waiting." the voice continued.
I made a hand signal to Wakana-chan to look around the edge of the building that was between us and Sena and that other guy with him.
Poking our heads around the wall, we saw a tall, blond, and scary-looking demon pinning Sena to the wall, hovering over him intimidating.
"Sena!" I cried out to him inwardly.
"I-I'll be right home, so let me just go and talk to them, p-pl-ple-ease." Sena tried to assert himself, a deep blush covering his cheeks.
"Hmph." the demon pouted. "Are you trying to be the banana to my donut, Sena-darling?"
Sena's face turned maroon.
"N-n-n-n-n-no, no, nope, not at all- I was j-just- ah," Sena's stuttering was worse than usual.
"What has this demon done to Sena?" I cried in my thoughts, wishing it had been a bully rather than a demon hovering over Sena.
"Kekeke." the demon chuckled, placing his hand on Sena's head. "Be quiet for a second, 'kay~ ?"
I don't know exactly what happened right after he had said that, I just know their faces got really close! Gah! Sena~!
"Hurry home, fucking angel." the demon said, pulling back from Sena.
"I will, Hiruma." Sena sighed, slightly dazed.
"Kekeke. I'll be waiting." And the demon Hiruma disappeared.
A long pause of silence engulfed us all. Sena started moving to leave the area, so Wakana-chan and I bolted to the front gates to wait for him. Well, we can't stay in the school to talk about this- we have to go to elsewhere now.
"Mamori-neechan!" we heard Sena call to me once he caught up to us, quickly greeting Wakana-chan. "What did you you want to talk about?"
Wakana-chan and I exchanged looks. Then we nodded in union.
"Sena, we need to go over your house today." we demanded.
Sena's face was surprised. Then it turned into one of fright- the kind that guys with rooms filled with dirty magazines get when a girl wants to go over.
"Y-y-y-y-y-you- you can't!" Sena bursted.
"Why?" we asked.
"My parents aren't home yet- they might get angry if I have two girls over!"
"But they know her! What's the big deal? Let's go!" Wakana-chan hustled, taking Sena's left arm and dragging him in a general direction.
"Yes!" I agreed, taking Sena's other arm and leading them both to Sena's house.
The entire trip there, Sena was busy trying to get us to go somewhere else- anywhere but his house!
:
CHAPTER 7! yeah... I realized how short the chapter 6 was; less than 300 words. I hadn't realized. Also, I really don't know what I'm gonna do with this story. I have a goal to meet. But then... I don't know. Well, let's hope it all works out! Comments are welcomed~! And to those who don't know- like I didn't- Wakana-chan is the manager for the Ojou White Knights in the manga!
