Chapter 34: Yumiko Miura Arc: Incident I
Hachiman Hikigaya shouldn't have come with her but he had been worried because he had listened to a number of crazy conversation which involved women doing a number of stupid things when they are left heartbroken by blonde douche bags.
Now he found himself in the last place he wanted to be.
"How may I help you?" Miyuki Shirogane said.
"I will tell you exactly how, Mr. President!" Miura glowered.
Hachiman Hikigaya wondered whether Yumiko Miura had a vendetta now. He didn't know about women, but he could speak from his personal experience that after a nasty break up, sometimes you develop a strong dislike for members of the opposite sex. After Orimoto told him about how she felt and they decided to call it quits and go their separate ways, Hachiman had spent the next couple of weeks staying the hell away from women.
But maybe that was because of his loner instincts. He liked to be alone to heal himself. Perhaps it worked differently for someone like Miura. He would have thought she would have spent her time with her friends, Yuigahama, Ebina or maybe even her roommates, getting in touch with her feminine side as they say in the internet, but she didn't seem to be that sort of woman.
Yumiko Miura liked to take the bull by the horns and take it for a spin. And by taking it for a spin, he meant, grabbing it by the tail, spinning it around in the air with super human strength and letting it fly off the handle at blinding speed and land somewhere in the distant, hurt, crippled and scared for life.
"I heard you rejected my friends, Ai Hayasaka." Yumiko Miura slammed both her hands on the table. "I'm here to kick your ass."
Hachiman Hikigaya was surprised, Miyuki Shirogane was confused and Kaguya Shinomiya was alarmed. Meanwhile Chika Fujiwara and Yu Ishigami felt like some interesting developments had taken place in the Associate Student Body without them knowing. The two of them felt betrayed.
"Eh, you rejected, Hayasaka-san, why?" Chika Fujiwara asked.
"I don't know." Yu Ishigami said, thoughtfully. "She seems like a person with multiple personality disorder. Sometimes, I see her with a bunch of women acting like a total gyaru. At other times, I see her with Shinomiya-san…"
Like most times, Yu Ishigami felt a murderous aura and killing intent dripping from a particular direction. Kaguya Shinomiya dropped four sugar cubes into a cup of freshly brewed tea and started stirring the cup. There was a smile on her face and she was the picture of feminine charm and noble elegance. Ishigami wilted in her presence, but it was her thinly veiled words which made his blood grow cold. "Please continue, Ishigami-kun. I am interested in what you have to say about me."
Speak another word and I will gouge out your eyeballs with this teaspoon, this is what she meant and Yu Ishigami heard her perfectly.
Without the least bit of shame and fueled by the innate need of self preservation, Yu Ishigami lied. He lied through his teeth. He lied like he was disputing the claims of his bastard children who came back to lay claim at all his fortune and riches after finding out he had become impotent. "Did I say Hayasaka-san has mental problems?"
Kaguya Shinomiya smiled. "You did."
"What I meant by that is she has a great personality. I mean, she is a multifaceted individual. Lots of faces-"
"But isn't that the definition of having a multiple personality disorder?" Hachiman Hikigaya asked. He had been quiet for the most part because he didn't want to step on any landmines. But in the face of Yu Ishigami he felt some kind of confidence.
"Are you a psychology major?" Ishigami snapped.
"That's a subject, not a person." Hachiman countered.
"Boys." Kaguya Shinomiya trilled. Then specifically, "Hikigaya-kun, would you like a cup of tea? It's Darjeeling. It has a heavenly smell. I'm sure you will enjoy it."
Hachiman Hikigaya had a flash back of his accident. Kaguya Shinomiya was a powerful woman. Sure, she wasn't involved with the mafia or underworld, but the way she said such things like 'heavenly smell' and 'enjoy it', he got the distinct feeling that she was involved in some kinky stuff.
Rich people and their vices, he would never understand them.
"No thank you, Shinomiya-san." He felt like lowering his head and bowing. Was this what it felt like to be in the presence of nobility. Wait a minute, was it polite or rude to refuse her offer.
"I see." Kaguya Shinomiya poured a cup for herself. "More for me, I guess."
Definitely rude, he thought. Wonderful, just wonderful. The highlight of his day was storming into the offices of the associate student body and confronting the president, Miyuki Shirogane with Yumiko Miura and then pissing off Kaguya Shinomiya, the vice president, personally.
Miyuki Shirogane, bless his soul, tried to make things easy for him. "Shinomiya, don't scare, Hikigaya-kun."
"You know me?" Hachiman asked. He didn't know he was famous around campus. No, it had to be the other way around. He must be infamous, someone with a bit of notoriety, a bad man, a total scum, whose name is cursed out when someone is at their lowest.
"I know of you." Miyuki Shirogane said. He crossed his arms and tried to look past the imposing figure of Yumiko Miura, whom he had been trying to placate for the past couple of minutes without any conceivable success. Perhaps he was seeking his help. Thus, the change of tone. "Shizuka Hiratsuka-sensei, the guidance counselor is of the opinion that you should be made the Resident Assistant of our campus."
Hachiman Hikigaya detected what Miyuki Shirogane left unsaid. He had no doubt in his mind that the president had run a background search on him, and if he hadn't then Kaguya Shinomiya was entrusted with that responsibility. After all, he had learned more or less the same thing from Ai Hayasaka, the personal valet of Kaguya Shinomiya herself.
Everyone who knew him would know that he didn't want the job. Unfortunately for him, very few people knew the real him. Yumiko Miura was not one of them.
"How dare you!" However it was even more unfortunate that Yumiko Miura knew how to read the room and like Hachiman Hikigaya, she too understood what was left unsaid. "First you reject Ai, and now you are planning on rejecting Hikio as the RA!" Her emerald eyes blazed with righteous fury. "How dare you, you asshole!"
Hachiman Hikigaya couldn't do anything but watch in horror as Yumiko Miura punched Miyuki Shirogane in the gut. He stood there, affixed, unmoving, not even daring to breathe as the blonde haired president doubled over in pain and fell onto the once proud desk separating the elite from the commoners.
Unbeknownst to them, Kaguya Shinomiya had expected the worst and she had taken suitable measures. When everyone was focused on the ensuing chaos, she had sent a text message and within second she had gotten a response.
Of course it wasn't fast enough.
But still,
Ai Hayasaka was coming.
