Okay, I got a pair of reviews and this is enough for me to bring in the next chapter, which will take a different turn after a few chapters of Tsumugi tutoring Satoshi at his house, and this time the two "lead stars" will get in to a situation, and in this chapter a villain will be introduced here, who will get to act as Satoshi's "foil" in the upcoming chapters.

Here's is chapter 9...


Monday...

At the Tainaka house, Satoshi showed to his family the results of the abuse he got from Tsumugi's uncle, and while the Tainaka parents are ready to press charges, Ristu persuaded them to wait until she gets word from Tsumugi about the circumstance and to see if Tsumugi's uncle is willing to apologize for his actions, which Mr. Tainaka sees this as useless seeing how his son was treated and wished to speak to Tsumugi about this since she was the one who brought Satoshi to her home.

"I say we go to the police station and file charges!"

"I agree! Satoshi...you're a man...you need to stand up to this kind of adversity!"

"..."

"Mom, dad...we should wait..."

"Why?"

"We need to get Mugi's side first before we do anything..."

"Fine...but I rather that I speak with her first..."

"Okay..."

After that, Ristu went to school and several minutes later, she arrived at the club room of the Light Music Club where Yui, Mio and Azusa are there with Tsumugi in the center, and Ristu is surprised to see the visible swelling on her cheek and there Tsumugi told the others what happened, and Ritsu suggested that Tsumugi tell her parents about what happened, which the others agreed to the suggestion but were told that the Kotobuki parents are currently at Finland and won't be home for about three days.

"Eh? You're parents are at Finland?"

"Yes, Ri-chan...and it'll be for another three days before they come back..."

"Then it's best that you should try and contact them, Mugi..."

"Mio-chan's right! That uncle of yours has to pay!"

"I agree with Yui-senpai!"

"By the way, Mugi...my dad wants to talk with you..."

"Is it about Satoshi-kun?"

"Well...yeah..."

"I'm sorry...my uncle is really at fault here...and what's worst...he's in charge of our house until my parents get back..."

"..."

Ritsu gritted her teeth when told of this and seeing that Tsumugi's uncle "taking command" of the Kotobuki house in a rather dictatorship-like attitude, she has no recourse but to tell her dad of what happened, but then she told Tsumugi that Mr. Tainaka wanted to speak to her thus, Tsumugi agreed and they all attend classes later, while ignoring the shocked reactions of their classmates who noticed the girl's swelled cheek which Yui and Ristu tried to cover it up so as not to make a gossip over this.

Later, after classes, The Light Music Club members went to the Tainaka house where they waited for an hour for the patriarch to arrive, and while waiting, Tsumugi went to Satoshi's room and spoke to him in a private manner which she apologized for what happened the other day, in which the younger boy was silent yet he did not hold any grudge towards her and understood her after learning of what happened to her and suggested that she tell her parents of what happened, but is told of her parents being oversea for the next two days.

"Your parents are at overseas?"

"Yes...until they get back...my uncle is in charge of the house..."

"That's a lax of a judgement your dad made...it should be you and not your uncle..."

"I know..."

"You can't just do as he says...look what he did to you..."

"I'm sorry, Satoshi-kun..."

"I-it's okay..."

"I'm really sorry..."

Tsumugi then hugged Satoshi while telling him she was sorry for what her uncle did to him, and though still a bit traumatized by that incident, the younger boy slowly hugged her in return, which slowly, and unconsciously opened his heart and he is slowly starting to get close to her and though he is unaware of that feeling at first, he felt at ease when near her, and Tsumugi herself is also unaware of the fact that she is slowly seeing him more than just an acquaintance.

Their "moment" was interrupted when Ritsu cam and is a bit surprised to see the two hugging each other though she assumed that Tsumugi is comforting Satoshi and there she told her classmate that Mr. Tainaka is here and that he wanted to talk to her, and Tsumugi nodded and followed Ritsu downstairs.

Minutes later, Tsumugi and Mr. Tainaka had a talk and he learned of what happened to her and advised that she file charges against her uncle, whose name she had finally disclosed - Geretsu, and Tsumugi replied that she will tell her parents about what happened and assured to him that Satoshi will get "justice" for the way Geretsu treated the younger Tainaka sibling, which is enough for Mr. Tainaka to feel at ease, and he told Tsumugi that his house is open and he will help her if she needed to.

By then Tsumugi decided that she has to go home as it was getting late, but Mr. Tainaka offered to let her stay for the night as he anticipated that her uncle might be there and treat her badly, though she assured to him that she will stand up to him if the need arises, and she bowed before leaving, which Satoshi decided to escort her to the nearest bus stop as courtesy and his way of thanking her for her help, which she accepted and the two teens left the house while Ritsu smiled while at the same time starting to suspect something from her younger brother.

At the streets, a few blocks away from the Tainaka house, Satoshi and Tsumugi were walking towards the bus stop and the two talked about where and what they would do from this point on knowing that Geretsu would meddle in their tutoring, though Tsumugi is optimistic that she will get through the "crisis" and thanked him for cheering her up and for escorting her to the nearest bus stop, which made Satoshi blush in shyness, which she giggled at him, seeing him as cute and adorable.

"Thanks for escorting me...even though you didn't have to..."

"It's okay...I can't leave you alone at this time of the night..."

"I appreciate it..."

"..."

"When the crisis is over...you can visit me anytime..."

"Eh...? Is it okay?"

"Yes..."

"..."

As they are now at the bus stop, they stood there waiting for the bus to arrive and they chatted to pass up the time, until a limousine arrive, and there Tsumugi recognized as the family driver, who glanced at her but in a sympathetic way, and another passenger emerged, and it was her uncle, Geretsu, and he was glancing menacingly at the two and he forcefully grabbed Tsumugi by her arm while slapping Satoshi aside, causing the boy to fall on the pavement and another verbal outburst between the uncle and niece.

"I THOUGHT I ALREADY MAKE THINGS CLEAR...YOU GO STRAIGHT HOME AFTER SCHOOL!"

"I'M OLD ENOUGH NOT TO HAVE CURFEW RULES! AND I JUST VISITED MY CLASSMATE!"

"SHUT UP, YOU BRAT! YOUR FATHER LEFT ME IN CHARGE...SO YOU STICK TO MY RULES! AND YOU BRAT! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT COURTING MY NIECE! YOU ARE NOT FIT TO BE..."

"LEAVE SATOSHI-KUN ALONE! MY CLASSMATE ONLY WANTED ME TO TUTOR HIM!"

"YOU WILL NOT SEE THAT BRAT AGAIN!"

"UNCLE!"

"IF YOU DON'T DO AS I SAY, I WILL TELL YOUR PARENTS TO SEND YOU OVERSEAS TO TEACH YOU A LESSON! YOU WANT THAT?! DO YOU WANT TO BE ALONE WITH NO FRIENDS?!"

"..."

Geretsu showed no empathy for Tsumugi and he told her that as his "second parent" she will do as he says and reminded her that her parents left him in charge and told her that once he tells them of her behavior they will send her overseas to "teach her how to behave", which Tsumugi is unwilling to let that happen and she reluctantly did as she is told and boarded the limousine, while Geretsu grabbed Satoshi by his collar and told him never go near Tsumugi again, which he states that he has no right going near her because he is a "lowly commoner" which Satoshi rebutted by saying they are just friends and sees nothing wrong with that, but Geretsu punched the boy on his stomach, causing him to crouch then punched him on his nose, breaking it and caused a massive nosebleed before leaving him, and upon seeing this Tsumugi tries to rush to his side yet she was met with a harsh slap and was ordered to stay in the car and told the driver to drive the car back to the Kotobuki manor, much to the driver's reluctance seeing Geretsu's arrogance and cruelty.

Several minutes later, Ritsu, Mio, Yui and Azusa arrived after noticing that Satoshi hasn't answered his cellphone and there they saw him sprawled on the ground with a pair of pedestrians attempting to perform first aid and told the girls that they found him unconscious, and as Yui and Azusa wondered what happened, Ritsu and Mio can guess who could be behind this and tells the Yui and Azusa to call an ambulance and then asks the pedestrians what really happened.

"We don't know..."

"We were passing by, and saw this boy on the ground..."

"That's all we can tell..."

"No idea who did this to him..."

"If only there are CCTV cameras installed..."

"I already called for an ambulance..."

"Thanks..."

"Here comes the ambulance...!"

By then an ambulance arrived and assists in getting Satoshi onboard with Ritsu coming along while Mio, Yui and Azusa heading back to the Tainaka house to tell the Tainaka parents about what happened to Satoshi, fearing the worst as Mr. Tainaka will no doubt go after Geretsu for what he did to Satoshi, having the gall to harm a junior high boy for trying to protect Tsumugi.

-x-

At the Kotobuki Manor, Tsumugi entered the house and uses her cellphone to contact her parents who are at Finland and intended to tell them of what her uncle just did, bit to her dismay there was no answer, but then the telephone rang and the family butler answered it, and there Tsumugi listens as the caller is a representative from the Finnish police and there he told the butler and Tsumugi that a car crash happened at a bridge in Helsinki and that both Mr. and Mrs. Kotobuki were believed to have been swept away by strong and police are currently searching their bodies, though not directly implying that they may be dead.

"Hello...Kotobuki residence..."

"Hello...I'm from the Helsinki police..."

"...yes...what...?"

"...we found their IDs, but we couldn't find their bodies...may have been swept away by strong currents..."

"...please...tell us the circumstances..."

"...flat tire...we don't know if it bursts by itself or..."

"Saito! Asks them if they found my parents...!"

"Calm down, Lady Mugi..."

By then, Geretsu grabbed the phone and talked to the caller, and after a few minutes of talking, he puts down the phone that told everyone in the manor that until Mr. and Mrs. Kotobuki are found alive, he will be in charge of the manor as he told everyone that this was his and Mr. Kotobuki's agreement, and tells Tsumugi that she will have no choice but to obey the "house rules" that he will now impose, much to Tsumugi's anger.

To Be Continued…


Hope you liked this new chapter, and this time the story comes underway after several chapters of "educational tutoring", which the two lead stars are slowly getting to know each other well, and just as Satoshi is having a moment with Tsumugi, he gets beaten up again by Tsumugi's uncle, who is now identified as Geretsu, which is derived from the word "geretsuna", meaning "vile"...

Tsumugi and Satoshi are facing more woes as Mr. and Mrs. Kotobuki went missing and presumed dead and Geretsu is now taking over the mansion and instills a strict curfew for Tsumugi…and this would shift the tide on the villain's favor…
