CHAPTER TEN: THE ANTAGONISTS
Hotaru was already done with the paper works and there she is doing nothing waiting for the hour to pass.
But suddenly Sumire stood up, everyone looked at her.
"She is coming. They are coming." she said. Most of them don't know what she is talking about but Hotaru and Mikan knows.
"Mikan lock the front doors." she commanded, Mikan did what she was told to do and Sumire was about to lock the back doors too but was stopped by Hotaru.
"Are you sure, you highness?" she asked, Hotaru nodded
Just then after a minute or two somebody is whacking the front door, Hotaru was standing still in front of the back door raising a brow. And then a voice said, "Try the back door." a voice that Hotaru was so familiar with. Just then the back door opened and revealed a strawberry blonde girl with icy blue eyes, wearing a three-fourth sleeve belted lace dress and blue flats. Behind her is a girl with black hair and green eyes, wearing a plaid-print flocked mesh overlay dress and gray flats.
The strawberry blonde girl looked at the boys in Hotaru's class and smiled at them seductively but trying to catch a certain crimson eyed boy's attention but the said boy was staring at a brunette, namely Mikan. But the strawberry blonde girl approached Hotaru and gave her slight kiss on her left cheek.
"How are you, my dear cousin?" she said while twirling her hair
"What do you want Luna?" she asked in her usual monotone voice.
"Oh, you know, just visiting you." Luna said in her oh-so-sugary voice
"Don't give me that. And let me guess, you enrolled here with Wakako, right?" Hotaru said bluntly
"Why is there something wrong with that?" Luna asked
"There is nothing wrong with that, it is YOU who is the problem." Hotaru snapped
"And what was that supposed to mean?" Luna asked totally forgetting that people are watching them.
"Don't play dumb and most especially don't act innocent. You know and I know that the both of you are here for boys." Hotaru said trying to pull Luna's trigger.
"What do you mean?" Luna asked again.
"As I said earlier, don't play dumb. But if you want a summary of what I said, then here it is. For short both of you are sluts." she said with, surprisingly, a hint of tone in her voice.
"Say that again." Luna said threateningly
"You. Are. Sluts." Hotaru repeated slowly, emphasizing the 's' word.
With that Luna charged towards Hotaru. And with a blink of an eye, there they are on the floor, with Luna on top of Hotaru. Then Luna slapped Hotaru's porcelain face and said,
"That for being related to you." she slapped her again, "That for calling me a slut." ooh and guess what? Another slap, "And that, because I want to do that to you from the very start."
And as usual Hotaru got fed up and with another blink of an eye, Hotaru was now on top of Luna. And the next thing surprised Luna.
Hotaru slapped Luna's precious face. "That for slapping me." she said in a venomous tone, then she slapped her again, "That for sitting on top of me."
But just as Hotaru is going to slap Luna again, Luna shrieked
"Wakako!" she shrieked.
Hotaru brought out a golden dagger from her vest's pocket and and threw it towards Wakako, which caught the sleeve of her dress and the result: Wakako was pinned on the wall.
"Wakako!" Luna shrieked again
Hotaru brought out another dagger but that one has precious gemstones. It has a long chain, so it can be used as a necklace. She removed the cap of the dagger so it revealed the sharp blade.
"One move Usami or your throat gets it." Hotaru threatened
Wakako gulped. Hotaru dropped the dagger and held Luna's right wrist with her left hand and punched the floor beside Luna. Luna closed her eyes because she thought Hotaru was going to punch her face.
Luna's eyes opened and pushed Hotaru. (So Hotaru is now sitting on the floor.) She ran towards Wakako and pulled her. The result: Wakako's sleeve was ripped! And they were just about to go out when Hotaru called her name.
"Luna!" Luna and Wakako turned to look at her.
"You can get the blonde but leave the raven." she said while pointing at Ruka. "The raven is already taken." she added and Luna's eyes widened in shock, then she stomped her feet and walked out with Wakako trailing behind her.
Sumire and Mikan helped her stand up, she grabbed the dagger on the floor and wore it around her neck, then she removed the other dagger on the wall . Everyone was shocked about how strong she is. She walked her way to Natsume and whispered,
"I know you like Mikan. And if you were wondering, I have my ways, Hyuuga."
Sumire is aiding Hotaru's hand while Mikan was holding an ice pack to Hotaru's swollen cheek.
"I didn't know that you can do that, Hotaru." Mikan said a bit worried
"Let the predator attack its prey, but let the prey think of a way to get back." Hotaru replied
Sumire noticed Hotaru's left hand is closed, "What are you holding your highness?" she asked, Hotaru opened her hand and in it was a glowing Alice Stone.
"How did-" she was cut off by Hotaru
"Remember the Alice Stone that this idiot gave me?" she asked while pointing at Mikan. Sumire nodded.
"I used it." she said bluntly
"Ne, Hotaru you used my Alice Stone?!" Mikan exclaimed.
"If you didn't hear I'll repeat, yes, yes I did." Hotaru replied
What they don't know is that their classmates were eavesdropping in their conversation.
