Aoi's Love Challenges
Chapter 7: Operation: Confession Part III
"Where did Aoi-neesan run off to?" Nene wondered as she and Chiaki looked all over the school and couldn't find her. 'Damn...just what is going on with her today?' Chiaki then tapped Nene on her shoulder. The red haired woman turned around. "What is it, Chiaki?"
"Rooftop." She said pointing up with her finger. "We haven't checked there."
"That's right! Nice job Chiaki!" Chiaki nodded at the praise she received. The two of them ran toward the stair case leading to the rooftop.
Furuichi who was looking for Oga spotted the two girls running toward him. "Ah! Do you two know where Oga is?" He asked.
"Out of a way pervert!" Nene yelled as the two passed by him.
'P-Pervert...' Furuichi gasped in shock. "Hey, it wasn't what it looked like!" He yelled, running after them.
When the three began climbing the steps, a sense of worry enveloped them. When they reached the top step and entered the rooftop. Their eyes widened at the two figures who stood face to face with each other. They didn't know what was going on, but the atmosphere around them could be felt all the way where the three of them stood. 'W-What's going on?" Nene asked.
"Looks like you just arrived in time for the main event." The three turned their heads toward the voice. Himekawa didn't make eye contact with them, preferring to keep his eyes on the two who were about to clash.
"Himekawa! What's going on!" Furuichi asked.
"I guess you can call it...a lover's quarrel." He smirked.
"You! What did you do!" Nene snarled feeling like punching Himekawa into the next galaxy.
"I told you before...I have nothing to do with this. When I came up here, Kunieda initiated this fight by cutting the kid's milk bottle." Himekawa half lied. Nene gritted her teeth in anger and turned back around to Aoi.
"Oga..." Aoi muttered, keeping her glare at him. Oga smirked back as he placed Baby Beel on the floor behind him.
"Oooh..." Baby Beel responded, looking up at him. Oga turned around to face Aoi again.
"Let's go!" He told her lifting his arm up and motioning her with his hand to make the first move.
Aoi didn't want to fight him. She really didn't, but she had too. She had no choice. She had to fight him so Himekawa wouldn't release those pics to everyone. The embarrassment she would feel if they saw those photos would be unbearable. Not only that, but what would Oga think. She doesn't want him to hate her. That was the last thing she wanted.
She closed her eyes and let out a deep breath. She took her stance. She placed her wooden sword behind her back. 'I'm sorry...Oga!' Taking a deep breath, she swung her sword. "Shingetsu Style: Ichishiki Hagan Kiku Ichimonji!" (First Ceremony Wave Rock Chrysanthemum Straight Line)
Oga's eyes widened at how fast she swung her sword. He remembered the first time they fought and she was fast, but she was way faster now. Oga barely evaded the attack as the front of his shirt was cut in half horizontally. 'That was close...'
However, Aoi wasn't finished. There was too much at stake to do so. She continued her attack by swinging her sword from a down right position upward. Oga was surprised by this, but he was still able to evade, by bending backwards. Aoi tched in annoyance that both her attacks were dodged by him. She didn't continue, but she didn't lower her guard. She glared at him as he tried to regain his composure.
"That was close..." Oga told her. "But you did get better!" Oga smirked.
Aoi blushed at his compliment. "D-Don't try to flatter me..." Aoi responded.
"Huh? I wasn't though..." He replied tilting his head.
'Yes, you did...' Furuichi sweat dropped.
Aoi stayed calm. She couldn't give him the chance to strike back, knowing full well he could end this fight with one punch. She had to stay on the offensive. She charged at him. She swung her her sword repeatedly, hoping to cut him at least once. She was managing to hold herself back so she wouldn't hurt him badly. She still relied on her plan to tire him out. It was the perfect plan. Himekawa never mentioned what she should do as long as he gets the final blow.
Oga noticed something strange. The last time he faced Aoi, there was some force behind it. But now, it was almost like she was fighting him with no intent to hurt him. Her swings were wide compared to the first time and gotten much slower after the first two attacks. It could have been that he was much stronger than her, but how would that explain her first two attacks. He was confused.
Oga eventually felt his back touch against the gate after dodging all her attacks and Aoi took her chance. "Shingetsu Style: Nishiki Hyakka Midare Zakura!" (Second Ceremony 100 Flower Storming Sakura) Oga's eyes widened as she initiated her attack. Oga knew he couldn't dodge it, so he did the only one thing he could think of. Watching the sword carefully, he waited for it to come toward him. Aoi's eyes widened. Nene, Chiaki, Furuichi and Himekawa's eyes widened. Baby Beel looked on with awe. Oga caught her sword with his bare hands. "Y-Y-Your kidding me..."
Oga was just as surprised as they were. However, his surprise soon turned to excitement. "I actually did it! Talk about luck!"
'You mean that was all luck!' Furuichi and the others sweat dropped.
Aoi couldn't believe it. He was way too strong for her. There was no way she could beat him. It was just too impossible. She fell to her knees. Oga and the others were shocked. She let go of her sword and Oga did the same after wards, dropping it to the floor. Oga didn't know why she just suddenly fell to her knees and let go of her sword. He was confused. "Oi...are you okay?" He asked nervously.
"I'm a baka..." She muttered.
"Huh?" Oga asked tilting his head.
"All of this is my fault...I...I shouldn't have..." She started to shake. Something was wrong. Even an idiot like him could tell that, but he didn't know what it was. Did he do something? "I just can't do this...your way too strong for me...I didn't know what I was thinking..." Aoi continued.
"I'm disappointed in you, Kunieda." Aoi's eyes widened at the sound of Himekawa's voice as he walked toward them.
"H-Himekawa..." She said with anger and fear.
"I didn't think that you would give up so easily. I mean sure it was a shock that he was able to grab your sword, but..." Nene and Chiaki gritted their teeth in anger at the way he was talking.
"You bastard!" They yelled at him. They started to run toward Aoi to protect her, but they were called off.
"Don't come!" Aoi shouted.
"Aoi-neesan..." They were shocked at her calling them off.
"Oh...that was a wise move by you...Kunieda...after all you don't want them to see these now would you..." He said taking out the photo strip from his pocket. Aoi's eyes widened in horror. Oga looked curious at what Himekawa was doing, even though he didn't know why he was here in the first place. Aoi began to panic. She couldn't let Oga see this. She had to do something. She suddenly felt her sword near her fingertips and when she saw the photo strip come out from his pocket, she grabbed the sword and swung. She was successful in cutting the photo strip into pieces.
Himekawa and the others were shocked by her action. Aoi suddenly felt a large weight get removed off her shoulders. She was free. She was finally free. "I-I'm free..."
"You...how dare you you destroy the evi-is what you probably want me to say..." Himekawa yelled before smirking sinisterly at Aoi.
"W-What?" Aoi asked confused.
"I'm not as dumb as some of these idiots, you know." Himekawa told her. "My father is the owner of a huge company and I learned everything from him. No matter what you have, you should always have back ups in case something happens. Which is why I uploaded those photos you destroyed onto my computer back at home and sent them to my phone. All I have to do is press the button and they would be sent to everyone." Aoi couldn't believe what she was hearing. This man...this man was trying to ruin everything she worked hard for. She didn't know what to do. Was there no way out of this? She felt her chest tighten. She couldn't take it anymore.
"F-Fine..." Aoi responded. "Do whatever you want! I don't care anymore!" She got up and ran off. Oga's eyes widened when his eyes spotted something on her face as she turned her head. He didn't know what it was exactly, but he suddenly felt angry.
"Aoi-neesan!" Nene shouted as she passed her and Chiaki. They immediately ran after her. Furuichi looked puzzled.
'W-What's going on?' Himekawa sighed.
"Hmph, looks like my plan backfired, but oh well. It just means that I have to deal with you by myself." Himekawa smirked, turning his head toward Oga. However, there was something off. The atmosphere around him became heavy. He looked at Oga and his eyes widened in complete horror. If he didn't know that the thing he was facing was Oga, he would think he was staring straight into the eyes of the devil.
Oga glared at him with so much intensity that he made his face turned into a demonic being. His eyes glowed deep blood red and the aura around him was anything but pleasant. Oga was beyond pissed if you could get that far. Himekawa suddenly felt like his entire life was flashing before his eyes. The next thing he knew, Oga punched him so strong in the face that his glasses broke in half and he swore he heard some cracking noise as he was sent flying into the air. Furuichi saw this and was horrified at how badly Oga punched Himekawa.
Baby Beel on the other hand was amazed at what Oga was able to do. He wasn't sure what was going on, but since he was a baby his attention was immediately changed into whatever was interesting. "Dahboo!" He cheered, waving his arms up and down.
Oga let out a sigh. He didn't know why exactly he got mad at Himekawa, but for some strange reason he had the urge to mercilessly punch the hell out of that four eyed wearing wealthy idiot. He looked down and noticed the item that Aoi cut into pieces and bent down. "Hm?" He tilted his head tot he side and picked up two pieces. "This is..."
"Oga! What was all this about?" Furuichi ran up to him and asked.
Oga picked up the remaining pieces and placed them in his pocket. He then walked over to Baby Beel and picked him up, placing him on his back. He then turned to Furuichi. "Don't know..." He responded putting his hands in his pocket. He then walked toward the stairs quietly. Furuichi only stared at him in silence.
"Geez, what is happening to this world..." Ittousai Kunieda grumbled looking at the day's newspaper. "Honestly...why would adults let children watch these shows? I mean how can something like 'Dead and Bloody' be educational!" Kouta cooed, looking at his grandfather in awe as he continued to rant. The door to their dojo opened, causing the two to look in that direction. They were shocked to see Aoi run inside and head straight to her room. "Huh?" Ittousai questioned standing up and ran after her. When he reached the door, Nene and Chiaki appeared, getting caught by surprise by Aoi's grandfather.
"Ah! We're sorry for intruding!" They both lowered their heads in respect before running toward the same direction Aoi went.
"Oi! What's going on! Why aren't you three in school!" Ittousai yelled, following them, Kouta in his arms.
"Aoi-neesan!" Nene called out in front of Aoi's door. "Please open the door!" She pleaded.
"No! Leave me alone!" Aoi shouted back from the other side of the door.
"Aoi-neesan..." Nene frowned.
"What's wrong?" Ittousai asked the two girls.
"Ah! We're sorry for barging in like this, Ojii-san!" Nene apologized again. "Things happened and Aoi-neesan won't come out." He raised an eyebrow at this. Normally Aoi would never shut her friends out like this. She wouldn't tell them to leave unless it was a really important issue, but the question was, what was it?"
"Aoi! Open the door!" Aoi's grandfather yelled.
"No!" She responded.
"This girl..." Ittousai sighed. The chimes outside the dojo suddenly rang, signaling that someone was outside the dojo. Ittousai sighed again before turning around. "It seems we have a guest...makes sure you two talk some sense into her." He asked Nene and Chiaki and both nodded. With Kouta in his arms, he walked over to the entrance of his dojo and opened the door. "Welco-you...?" Ittousai was surprised.
"Oi, old man...is Kunieda here...?"
To Be Continued...
Author Notes: I thought it would be a perfect way to end this chapter. I hope you guys like the fight scene. I did have trouble writing it because too be frank, I never seen Oga fight a girl and hit her. So, I didn't know if he would actually punch her or not...but why would he want to punch Aoi, it doesn't make sense! Anyway, I noticed some of you had some questions and I would like to answer them:
1. Yes, I agree that Himekawa is an ally, however despite that he still wants to be the strongest in all of Ishiyama so that was the motive. Also, he is probably the only guy who would try something like despite Miwa, but I'm not putting him/her in the story because I just don't like him/her.
2. The time line of this story is fictional. By that I mean it's past the pillar squad scenario so it's kind of like a future scenario. I hope that makes sense.
Now then, hope you like this chapter and thank you so much for all your reviews! They make me happy, they truly do. So, until next time! Any last words Baby Beel!
Dah! (Milk!)
