Here's the promised chapter of Battle of the Fathers in Tsubasa Ando's POV.

Enjoy!


Tsubasa

The truth is, Tsubasa Ando doesn't like Mr. Bear at all.

Now, before you go calling him a traitor to his best friend, let me point something out to you-Bear has never been a friend to him at all.

Sure, he might serve him at times, and even play cuddly bear (whatever that is). But he only does that because of the one person they both respect the most:

Kaname Sono.

Their best friend. Their master. Their-well, you get the idea.

If it weren't for Kaname, Bear wouldn't tolerate Tsubasa at all and, in fact, would knock him into next week.

If it weren't for Kaname, Tsubasa wouldn't have tolerated Bear at all. In fact, he'd…um…well, he'd do something to Bear that he doesn't really know himself.

To be honest, Bear's never hurt him before. Well, except for that one time when Tsubasa tried to separate Bear from Mikan (a long story).

Boy, can he still feel the phantom pain in his gut!

But as a best friend and master, Kaname has a lot of influence over the two.

So when Bear walks in and gives Tsubasa a rude awakening (through a punch to his solar plexus, mind you), you can imagine just how angry Tsubasa was.

-THWACK!-

Granted, he was doubled over in pain, but he was still very angry. (This wasn't the first time it happened; lately, Bear had been acting up more than usual after Kaname got hospitalized again. He'd been taking out his frustration on Tsubasa-but, for some reason, not on Mikan, his usual, favorite punching bag in the world.)

"Bear! What do you think you're doing? Don't think I won't tell Kaname about this!"

Bear punched him again. -THWACK!-

"Ow! Alright, I won't tell! Geez, what is it you even want from me?"

Bear simply held out a note. A note in very familiar handwriting.

Tsubasa took the note and scanned it. While his brain absorbed the words on the innocent piece of paper, his face began steadily losing color until he was very close to becoming snow white. (The color, not the princess.)

Who was the letter from? Why, a certain Hotaru Imai, of course. Now, Tsubasa was a grown man capable of taking care of himself. He had the awesome ability to capture people with his shadows. He could fight on par with Akira Tonouchi. He even had a girlfriend. (What he found this bit of information crucial was unknown to mankind in general.)

But even he wasn't stupid enough to ignore a direct order from the infamous Hotaru-sama. (I mean, thinking about his last blackmail prank still gave him the shivers to this day-probably because it was only last month's.)

So when he read Hotaru Imai-sama's note given to him by the weird walking, anthropomorphic, mute, punching yet strangely cute bear standing in front of him, Tsubasa knew he had no choice but to obey. After all, Hotaru-sama never made threats. Especially the one she wrote at the end of the note in a post-script:

P.S.: Hage-kun, if you do not obey my orders, I will sell all your photos of being kissed by high schoolers back when you were in kindergarten to your little girlfriend. And I will tell your best friend of all the times your secretly bullied Bear when he got too out of control. Don't think I won't do both. I have proof.

Hotaru Imai.

No, she didn't make threats.

She made promises.


It's April, it's rainy, it's cold.

I'm catching a cold. Will that affect my sleep schedule again? Seeing as I'm about to fall asleep while writing this...probably.

Oh, well. Until next time, folks! Up next will be Rei Serio AKA Persona's POV. Please look forward to it!

P.S: Don't forget to review!
