~$~Friendship Day special~$~
Shizuma's P.O.V:
After waking up, I checked my phone. The date said that it was friendship day. I wondered why I didn't hear anything from my friends since last night. After all, they were supposed to be the happiest since I won. I anyway got up to get ready for school. Now, I was in a pretty good mood, thanks to Laito's blood last night. I also realized that I was beginning to change. By change I meant was that...I finally was analyzing how it felt to be a vampire. Akatsuki and Socrates were right [1]. I couldn't deny my vampire-self no matter what. In fact, now, I began to consider it as a blessing...at least in this town, at Ryotei Academy.
After getting into my uniform, I was tying my hair. Then there was a knock on the door. I didn't need to ask who it was.
"Shizuma-chan...I'm coming in."
"Just the person I needed to see..." I smiled at Yui.
"You wanted to see me?"
"Yes, I did." I went closer to her, "Because...I'm thirsty."
"Ehh?" She was startled at first, but then, "Uh...okay." She rolled her sleeve to expose her wrist.
"Hey, I was kidding." I said, "And just because I said I was thirsty, why you've to do that?"
"Because...you didn't take my blood this whole week. So..."
"But others did suck you, didn't they? So, when one or two vampires drink from you, then you should avoid the others as much as possible."
"I know, but I was worried for you."
I raised my brow. "Komori...you're too naive. Just because I think and act like human, doesn't change the fact that I'm a vampire. No matter how nice I'm with you, I won't stop sucking your blood. So, you should watch out for yourself. Unless..." I whispered in her ear, "After getting bitten too much, you finally started to like pain..."
"Ehh?! Uh...to say such a thing...!" Yui was a blushing mess now. "Well...I already said to you. When the others get thirsty, they always come to me. You didn't, so I was worried if you're doing okay or not."
I was amazed now. This girl is really something. Also another realization came into me. Maybe it wasn't her blood only, which the vampires cared for. Maybe, this human was way too kind and compassionate towards them...which those vampires lacked in their lives (according to what I heard from Yui). Even though they always behaved like shit to her, yet I couldn't deny that they were overprotective to her.
"Well, it's not like I didn't drink any..." I was about to say, before I shut myself. Nope, I couldn't tell her yet that she wasn't my only prey...at least not right now. "We-well, I meant, sometimes other drinks do the job of blood for me. After all, I'm a different kind of vampire than them."
"I know you're different than them. You're more like a human."
"It's because...I've some humanly genes in me..." I finally decided that I could trust Yui. After all, it was needless to say that she cared for me, despite of me being jerk with her sometimes...just like those leeches. So, I guess I owed her.
"Okay, there's a reason I wanted to see you. Now you close your eyes for a while."
Yui nervously closed her eyes as per I instructed. I could tell she was still thinking that I'd bite her. But instead, she got her left hand held by me.
"Now open your eyes."
I saw that blondie's pink eyes opened wide when she found a pink flowery designed bracelet on her wrist. "Wha-what's this?!"
"Whoa...have you never seen a bracelet, Gofer?"
"Yes, I know what's it. It's very beautiful. Thank you very much!" Finally she smiled, "I also should give something in return."
"Hey it's okay." I also smiled, "You don't need to return something for present."
"Is that so...?" Suddenly Yui looked unmindful, "Kou-kun said that this world is of give-and-take. He once presented me a bunch of roses, then..." She stopped. I didn't need her to tell further to know what might've happened after that.
"And in exchange, he sucked your blood, right?" I narrowed my eyes. "As expected from the worst asshole of the Mukamis."
"Yes, but I don't blame him for that..." The girl looked down, "You know, the Mukamis have worse pasts than the Sakamakis. They're from-..."
"Orphanage, right?" I finished for her, "Look, Gofer...I can only say that the bracelet I gave you because it's friendship day today. And if you want to return a gift badly, then I could have something."
"What do you want?" She asked curiously.
"Friendship..." I extended my hand towards her, "I never saw any human with this level patience to handle ten annoying creatures from different race. You earned my respect, Komori. That's why, I want you now as a friend, just like those three. It's true that you're the source of my drink, but that doesn't mean that we can't be friends. Rather than treating you as a prey, now I'd like to think that a friend is doing a favor to me. So, can you think me as a friend, Komori?"
Yui said nothing, neither she took my hand. I felt dejected to think if I scared her or made her even more doubtful. So, I started to take back my hand, but then it was grabbed. Next thing I knew, small arms wrapped around my waist, and soft light blonde curls on my chest. Then I felt my chest damp, I grabbed the face to see tearful pink eyes.
"Shizuma-chan..." The girl finally talked, while sobbing, "You don't know how much you made me happy today. Before coming here, I had a few friends but the true form of friendship I saw from four of you. After the wolf attack, when you and Haruna-chan became friends, [2] since then I always felt ashamed to think that, as a human I couldn't make any friend here that you did as a vampire. I know, it's my own fault that-..."
"You've no fault here." I cut her off, while wiping her tears by my thumb, "In fact I got things to learn from you. Maybe you could see the good in those guys where I couldn't. So I think, as a vampire, I too can trust you, just like they do."
"I'm very glad that you came here, Shizuma-chan. Ever since you joined here, I've been feeling like a normal person at the school." Yui smiled, "Also, Sakamaki mansion was always too quiet because only except Ayato-kun, those brothers mostly used to pass their times in loneliness. But after you came, it feels much refreshing now. It's because you've livened up this mansion."
I giggled, "Didn't I tell that I came here to end the boredom?" [3] Right then, I sensed the presence of a vampire outside of my room.
"But you know what, Gofer?" I sneered loudly, making the vampire hear me, "None of these vampires has any common sense. They don't know that guys shouldn't eavesdrop at girls gossips."
There was no response. But the presence was still there. I stormed and opened the door, but didn't find anyone at first. Then I turned to see a uniformed blonde haired vampire, sitting on the floor right beside my door.
"Eh, Shu-san?" Yui was startled to see him there, "Why's he sleeping here now?"
"Heh...do you really think he's sleeping?" I smirked, before towering over the slumbering blonde. I slowly moved my face to his ears, and then,
"AAAAAAAA!" I screamed loudly, which got that sleepyhead jolted. The half-lidded blue eyes lazily glared me,
"What was that for?"
"This was for eavesdropping girls, stupid potato-sack." Then delicious scents of foods entered my nostrils, "Mmmm...my stomach is growling... Come on Gofer, breakfast is calling us." With that, I ran to the dinning room.
General P.O.V:
After the silver-haired beauty left for breakfast, the blonde human was following her. But then the blonde vampire spoke up,
"So...you two are friends now." Which made Yui stop.
"Uh...yes. It's friendship day today and Shizuma-chan gave me this nice friendship bracelet. You see, I never could make any friend here, so I'm very happy to be her friend."
"In that case, never leave her side. Or else...you might lose her."
Like I lost Edgar...
"Shu...-san..." Yui could see the hidden emotion in the ocean blue eyes which were staring blankly at the wall in front. She understood what Shu meant since she got to know about him and Edgar, or rather Yuma. Because, few months ago Yuma confronted Shu on this in front of her, saying that Shu seemed familiar to him...but in the end, the lost friendship was never been resurrected.
"Umm...Shu-san, I'm sorry to remind you something bad." Finally the girl managed to say, "But...I think, you still can make friends, like Shizuma-chan. You see, neither of you are bad persons, you just need to see the good sides of each other. Then you two can be friends too."
Shu's ears and heart twitched at Yui's words, yet he calmly said, "People who become friends with me, only get hurt. So, there's no need for me to be her friend." With that, he got up and walked out from there, making the human dumbfounded for a while,
Shu-san doesn't want to be friend with Shizuma-chan because he's afraid that something might happen like before. Does he...care about her?
Shizuma's P.O.V:
Even though I was going for breakfast, I could hear what those two blondies were talking about. It seemed that the eldest leech had some bad issues about friendship. So, I stopped walking and waited a while for Yui to come. I grabbed her when she showed up,
"Kya! Shizuma-chan...you're still here?!"
"Yeah...that sweet talk of yours caught my ears. So, what was all that about?"
"The thing is that..." Yui then told something which I actually was not ready to hear. The Tower of Mukami seemed to be an old friend of the eldest Sakamaki, and was gone in a fire accident in their childhood. And now, Yuma doesn't remember anything. But what made my eyes widen, was that, in their last encounter, Shu claimed himself to be the one to set the fire in Yuma's village. That's why they're no more friends now.
"But I still don't believe Shu-san could do such a thing...as far as I know him." Yui commented.
"Well, even though I don't know that loafer much, yet from my observation, it's hard to believe that he'd do that."
We, anyway, reached the dining room for breakfast. Shu ate nothing but an apple. He seemed unmindful when he was eating. I poked Yui with elbow,
"Seriously...he's still being such a sulk?"
"Actually, everytime Shu-san eats apple, he always seems to be on some thoughts." She whispered back.
"Eh? Does apple increase his thinking ability or something?"
"Oi, you two..." We were startled by an unlikely loud voice of that blonde lazyass. "Stop staring and talking about me. It's annoying."
"It's highly inappropriate to talk here."
I glared at the foureyes, "Wow Fusspot Glasses, now even talking is inappropriate. Then being mute is okay with you?"
"I meant talking unnecessarily at the dinning table is inappropriate. You two are talking more than eating."
"Well, we can talk as much as we want, because we're friends." I retorted.
"Heh, Melon and Pancake are friends..." The royal idiot snickered, "What an odd combination." Which made Yui frown at him.
"Yeah right." I snorted, "Odd like a skinny basketball player who calls himself Yours Truly!"
As expected, the red bull stood up from his chair before storming to me. "How dare you say that?! Do you've any idea of Yours Truly's muscular body?!"
"Is that what you call a muscular body?" I mockingly pointed his bare chest through his unbuttoned shirt. Despite of anger, I saw Ayato's cheeks getting red.
"Hey, Ayato-kun," Laito spoke up, "Our closet pervert Tough-chan actually wants something else...if you know what I meant." He winked.
"Now I get it," Ayato smirked, "You're telling this to see my muscles properly, right? Well then, Yours Truly will grant your lewd wish, Melon." With that, he started to take off his blazer. I covered my eyes with my hands, "Hey Foureyes, is exhibitionism at dinning table counted appropriate?"
"Ayato!" The discipliner scolded him, "Go back to your seat!"
The redhead groaned, "Fine...but tell her not to defy the no. 1 basketball player of the school!"
"How about I change the number for you?" I reluctantly said while drinking juice.
He punched on the table beside my plate, "Are you gonna challenge Yours Truly, Melon?!"
I stood up in rage and faced Ayato closer, narrowing my golden eyes at his emerald ones, "What if I'm..."
"Enough!" Reiji again yelled, "I'm ordering both of you to sit down and finish your breakfast at once! Or, you two won't get dinner if we're late for school now!"
At school:
Everyone was celebrating friendship day. "Looks like, classes will be off for today too. Let's hang out together, Gofer."
"Hmm...I'd love to. But where're Haruna-chan and others?" Yui asked curiously. "Did you hear anything from them?"
"That's the odd thing. Let's go to my class to find them."
While walking to my class, we spotted the two-faced idol with his fangirls. The pillar was also with them, he was eating an apple. For an apple, it was much bigger than regular.
"Whoa...where did he get that giant apple?"
"Yuma-kun grew it himself." Yui replied, "He's very skilled in farming. He owns a very big garden of fruits and vegetables in their mansion."
"Hmm...I must agree with you about his skills. As that apple is big as its owner." I murmured before something triggered in my mind. As per Yui said, Shu always got thoughtful...while eating apple. Does this apple have something to do in their ex friendship?
"Thank you, girls, for all the chocolates." I could tell the blonde Mukami was sneering loudly to get our attention.
"Kou-kun and Yuma-kun got a lot of chocolates." Yui said.
"M neko-chan looks like she wants some." Kou grinned as us. "In that case, we can be kind enough to give some."
"But not to that gluttonous!" Yuma snorted...obviously at me, "Or, we'll have nothing for us...again."[4]
"You see Gofer," I shot back, "To some people, every day is valentine's day. Next, we'll see chocolates giving on independence day."
Kou didn't hesitate to reply, "We know it's friendship day. And both neko-chans seem jealous that we got lots of chocolates and they didn't get any."
"Yes, you got lots of chocolates but didn't get any friendship bracelet on friendship day," I grabbed and held Yui's left hand in front of them, "Like she did. So, today she's ahead of you two."
Now the two vamps and their fangirls got shocking annoyed looks on their faces, but before they could say anything, I dragged Yui with me, and sneered for last time to make them hear, "Oh...I forgot, you chocolate heroes got only fangirls, not friends."
After we went far away from those Mukamis, Yui said, "You didn't need to say that, Shizuma-chan. The vampires don't get along with humans to avoid attacking them."
"I ain't telling them to get along, I'm telling them to behave themselves, Komori!" I snapped irritably, "If they don't have guts to expose their race, then they got no right to brag about their belongings. Specially they better not piss off either of us, who know about their true identities."
Yui suddenly went silent for a while, before spitting out, "Come to think about...none of the Sakamakis or Mukamis actually ever acted this hyper before...not even with me." Then she directly looked up to me, "Until...you joined here, Shizuma-chan."
"Eh?"
"I mean, yes, they were popular from the beginning. Yet, they never behaved openly mean like this at school. I noticed changes in their attitude after all of that happened with you."
"I'm not surprised to hear that. They're always surrounded by fangirls." I said judging all the incidents, "Well, for your case, you're a human who's always kind to them. So they didn't need to bother you other than for your blood. As for me, I'm a vampire and never gave shits to them so they couldn't turn me into their hokey-pokey fangirl. It's obvious that they got itches on their ego."
"You got a point there..." She replied, "But yet, I don't think that's the only reason."
"Whatever, the reason is...those leeches won't stop until they kick my ass." I said annoyedly, "Already saw that from the music contest..."
"Shizuma-chan...I know, the primary suspects for signing up your name into the contest are the Sakamakis and the Mukamis." Yui looked down, "But...can we pause blaming them till we get any proof?"
"Well, no point to search for proofs for that anymore." I replied, "I already proved myself by winning. Anyways, let's not talk about that. We need to find Minamoto and others."
We reached in front of our classroom, but it was dark inside. I wondered why. Then we both entered slowly. But right then, the room was enlightened. Then we heard a small balloon blasting noise and then found glitters falling on us.
"Congratulations, Tsubaki!"
The chorus was the first thing we heard. Then finally I found my three regular companions in front of all my classmates. Haruna hugged me instantly.
"Guys...what's going on?" I managed to ask.
"Yesterday you went away so we couldn't congratulate you for winning the music contest." Haruna happily answered. "Then I remembered that the next day was friendship day. So, I asked them all to make a surprise for you." With that, she tied a friendship bracelet on my wrist. It was turquoise colored just like her eyes.
"That makes sense why I didn't hear anything from you later..." I smiled. "Thank you all for this. I'm very happy to have you as my friends and classmates."
"Happy friendship day, Tsubaki." Momoka also embraced me before putting a red bracelet on my wrist.
Then Xen came and presented a blue friendship bracelet. He seemed hesitated to hug me. Then I pulled him in a hug. "Happy friendship day, buddy."
Then my other classmates came to me. "Umm...Tsubaki, sorry we were being mean to you."
"We admired those guys too much to acknowledge any other talented people. But now we're glad that you did it and made our class proud."
"It was very brave of you when those wolves attacked in the school."
"You're always nice and helpful to us. So, we want to be your friends too."
"It's alright, everyone." I said gratefully, "I'm glad to know that you guys don't dislike me anymore. And of course, I'll be all of your friend. You can ask me anytime for any help."
After that, I found both of my wrists covered with colorful friendship bracelets. I also gifted my three friends the bracelets which I bought for them.
After they all got separated to their own business, there were me, Yui and my three close friends. We started to walk through the hallway. There I found students from other classes crowding around me. Among them, the girls apologized for mistreating me, and the guys mostly admired me for demolishing the Sakamaki & Mukami reign at the school. Along with that, my both arms entirely got decorated with friendship bracelets so I had to roll my sleeves. I also earned chocolates from some guys who expressed their liking on me. I didn't mind anything because it's expected when the spotlight shifts.
"Umm...hello..." Now a voice got my attention, who I didn't expect.
"Oh hi, Ellipsis-talker."
"Hello Azusa-kun." Yui greeted him.
"Shizuma...can we...talk?"
"Sure." I said, "But wait, I'm not in mood for that, you know."
"No...I want to...talk about...something else. I need...some privacy."
I shrugged but wondered what the Mukami was up to. We went another hallway where no one was.
"So, what's it?"
"I wanted to...give you...this." Azusa had something in his fist. "Can you...bring up...your hand?"
I extended my hand to take that whatever he wanted to give. But what he did, widened my eyes. A very pretty shiny grey colored friendship band decorated with colorful stones, I found on my wrist in the middle of other bracelets. It was clearly the nicest of all the bracelets I got.
"Happy...friendship...day, Shizuma."
"So pretty...thank you!" I couldn't help but admired at the unexpected symbol of friendship. "Where did you find it?"
"I...made it...myself."
I looked up to the vampire...was he serious?
"I...just wish, all the vampires were like you..." I stated honestly.
"I'm glad...that you...liked it." Azusa smiled. "Well then...see you." With that, he turned to leave. And that time, my mind raised a question to remember something.
Why does he adore me? Just because he likes to get bitten by me? Or, could it be...
"Azusa Mukami..." I called to stop him, then I took a breath before asking, "Did we ever meet each other before this school?"
He turned to me and looked in my eyes, "What do...you think...about that, Shizuma?"
I stared him and tried to match him with the basil haired kid from my memory [5]. But before that,
"Azusa, are ya here?" I heard Yuma's voice. "What're ya-..." He showed up and stopped to see us together.
"Oi Azusa, what're ya doing with that Gluttony?!"
"Hey giraffe, easy okay?" I narrowed my eyes, "He did no sin by talking to me. By the way, didn't the chocolate heroes get any friendship bands?" I snorted, showing off my hands.
"Shud-dup!" Yuma growled, "Let's go, Azusa!" Both of them teleported away. Then suddenly, I felt bad. I mean, I had no problems to be friends with humans. But these vampires did have. Some of Yui's words crossed in my mind.
...Only except Ayato-kun, those brothers mostly used to pass their times in loneliness...
...The vampires don't get along with humans to avoid attacking them...
I don't know how, I felt a sudden urge in me to do something about...two certain vampires. I checked that we had enough time to end the class time. I went back to my friends and Yui, before asking something.
"Does anybody know Tower of Mukami's number? And Komori, can you give me the address of Mukami Mansion?"
An hour later: (General P.O.V)
Shu went to the music room to sleep peacefully. But before he sat down, he noticed something. There was a basket on the piano with full of big red apples. On the basket, there was a note attached, "For Neet."
While Yuma was walking with Kou and Azusa, suddenly his phone vibrated. He took out his phone and saw a message.
Yuma Mukami, you're an excellent gardener. That's why I couldn't help but took those big round juicy apples from your garden, hope they'll make a good money. Thanks sweetheart! :*
The brunette's eyes widened to read the message. He quickly called a number. When the receiver picked the call,
"Ruki! Where the hell are ya?!"
"What's with that voice, Yuma?"
"My apples from my garden...gone! I got a text saying that they had been stolen!"
"Why do you've to be such aggressive just from a message? Calm down. I'm going to your garden to check."
Yuma started to stroll angrily. Kou asked what was going on so the tall vampire showed the message to him. After a while, Yuma's phone rang up.
"Yes Ruki, is that true or just a prank?"
"Ehm...Yuma, sorry. I was inside the mansion so didn't sense any presence outside. It doesn't seem to be a prank. As I see, the apple tree of yours is totally empty."
"WHAT?!"
"But here's a note I found. It said to check at the school's music room-..."
Yuma cut the phone off instantly and rushed to the music room. Only to find the eldest Sakamaki eating an apple from an apple basket. From the size and type of those apples, the tallest Mukami easily identified them to be his own.
"How dare ya steal my apples, ya fucking Neet?!" The brunette instantly grabbed the blonde by collar.
Shu stared him for a while, then said, "Didn't you just send me this?" He pointed the note attached to the basket, which made the brown eyes widened,
"How did this happen? Why the fuck I'd give my apples to ya?!"
"Well," The blonde directly looked at him, "When we first met, you offered me an apple...do you remember that?"
Shizuma's P.O.V:
Five of us were having some snacks at the cafeteria. We were eating without any disturbance. But I noticed Yui being unmindful,
"What's it, Gofer? Did any chips get stuck in your throat?"
"It's just...I'm worried if it's okay what you did."
"Don't worry. They'll be fine." I said with a mouthful of foods, "Besides, it'll be on me if something happens, since I did that all."
"By the way, Tsubaki," Momoka asked, "Why so sudden did you get interested in patching those two up?"
"No particular reason..." I said thoughtfully, "I don't know, I just felt like to do that. But it might be because of friendship day. As Komori said, they were friends once. So, it shouldn't hurt to watch if two old friends get reunited."
Now the four of them gave me warm smiles, "You're officially our soulmate, Ponytail!" Haruna happily said.
"Likewise." I smiled back before a tension came into me, what if Yuma hit Shu. I said to my friends, "You guys, excuse us for a while. Komori, let's go and check on those two."
Me and Yui ran to the music room. When the blondie was about to enter, I pulled her.
"They'll smell us from the doorway. So, we'll peek through the window." We went to the window and saw the both vampires sitting on the floor.
"Shizuma-chan, they're talking in low voice...I can't hear anything."
"But I can. I'll tell you later that they're talking about."
First thing I heard was,
"I remember now...some of our memories together." Yuma said, "We were bosom friends. So, it really doesn't make any sense if ya're the one who set the fire."
"That doesn't matter anymore...whatever happened it was all because of me." I heard Shu reply.
"That means ya're taking someone else's blame, ain't ya?!"
Shu replied nothing. I was appalled, that loafer...had a hidden side which cannot be referred as a blood-sucking beast. Yuma went silent too, before Shu finally saying,
"I'm sorry for everything...Edgar."
Edgar...why does that sound familiar to me?
"Geez, stop calling me by that name. It's Yuma now!" The Tower scratched his head, "And well, I can't yet promise to be besties like before...but I'm convinced that ya're not that bad guy, Neet. So, if ya think ya ever need something I could do, ya can count on me."
"That's good enough for me." Shu smiled finally, and that smile was nothing like the ones I saw till now. It seemed genuine, and looked like a heavy stone got off from his chest. "So, can I've those apples now?"
"Heh do ya even need to ask that, Neet?" Yuma laughed before throwing an apple to him.
Me and Yui smiled at each other and started to walk back. "So Gofer, do you still need to hear what they talked about?"
"I don't think it matters anymore now. I'm happy that everything got alright between Shu-san and Yuma-kun. But what surprised me most is that..." She looked at me, "...you're the one who took the attempt and effort to settle it between them, Shizuma-chan."
"Well, I surprised myself too. Maybe I want these vampires to learn something."
"Does that mean you don't hate them anymore?" Yui asked curiously.
"I'm not sure about that yet, Komori." I said truthfully. "But I can tell that I'm beginning to understand them."
General P.O.V:
Ever since Yuma rushed away, his two brothers were searching for him. They reached the music room.
"Look...it's Yuma... there." Azusa saw his brunette brother coming out.
"Oh when did ya two come?" Yuma also noticed his brothers.
"Just now. By the way, what were you doing in the music room? Wasn't Shu-kun supposed to be there?" The Mukami blonde raised an eyebrow, since he knew his tall brother's particular fieriness towards the Sakamaki blonde.
"Yeah...ya know, I had some past issues with him. It's now solved. He's a good guy, I can trust him."
"So...are you...friends now?" Azusa asked.
"Yeah...kinda." Yuma smiled. "But one thing I don't get yet, who was the one who stole my apples to drop them here?"
"Huh?"
"I ran then because Ruki found a note on my apple tree, saying that those apples were kept in the music room. And when I found them, there was another note saying 'For Neet'."
"That means someone who knows about you and Shu-kun, wanted you to get along with each other." Kou said thoughtfully,
Suddenly Yuma's eyes widened to remember something. "Last time I charged that Neet, Sow was there! She knows our address!"
"But there's no way...Yui-san could do that... At least...not this fast. Also, she doesn't...have phone." Azusa snapped. "Besides...if she did that,...she would've done it...long ago."
Kou went speechless for a while, before commanding, "Yuma-kun, show me that text again."
Yuma did as he was told. Kou noted the sender number in his own phone. Then the three brothers followed Yui's smell and reached the cafeteria. When they were about to enter, Kou stopped the other two.
"Don't make any noise. I'll call this number from my phone now."
Kou dialed the number, within seconds the three Mukamis heard a ringtone, from the cafeteria. Then finally they went freeze, when a certain silver-haired girl took out her phone...which was ringing.
"S neko-chan...!" The blonde gasped.
"As I thought...only Shizuma could do...something like that..." Azusa smiled to realize that all, "Perhaps...Yui-san told her...about Shu-san and Yuma."
"But...why'd she do something like that?!" Kou murmured, "After all of this..."
"Maybe she's...entirely not like...that we know."
Yuma was too shocked to say anything. He just looked down, his fangs were gritted and fists were clenched in anger and frustration.
No matter how much I want to hate that Glutton...she always does something that pushes me to think of her even more! Why're ya like this, Shizuma?!
Hope you liked reading it. Let me know your thoughts through the reviews. The idea of Shu and Yuma's previous confrontation issues came from Shu's MB route. Only the apple stealing idea is of my own.
