Part Two

With all the members in attendance in the Student Council Room including a female Moral Prefect named Oboro—who was really a man Tanukichi discovered, yet dressed and acted like a woman; she stood next to Anna, the Council President—the meeting was called to order. They sat at the council room table.

The Prefect was assigned to Anna by her mother to enforce Anna'a will when it came to the health and morality of the school. However, if Anna told Oboro to look the other way during Anna's sexual deviant expressions towards Tanukichi or Anna's inability to prevent herself from dumping her "love nectar" all over Tanukichi, Oboro did so. Oboro was the complete opposite of a true prefect should act.

Anna's innocent nature had first brought Tanukichi to Tokioka Academy, so he could learn from her. Tanukichi said he wanted to separate himself from his father's actions of ero-terrorism. But thanks to Kajou, she made him realize he was only fooling himself—after she kidnapped him and brought out a form of "Stockholm Syndrome"—hiding his true nature when it came the dynamic of dirty joke warfare and expressionism. He wasn't completely turned and his conflict of right and wrong often tugged at his morals.

Tanukichi respected Anna for her self-discipline and morality until the point she tried to make him her toy. And on more than one occasion (the bathhouse being one of them), Anna had. While, he admired Anna expressing herself, she did so with an unnatural way with an unwavering torrent of a tsunami.

"I'm glad we can all be here today," Anna began, sitting at the head of the table; Kajou's, the Council's VP, sat next to her. "I know we all have busy schedules with mid-term exams in full swing, but I wanted you here to meet our newest council member I just approved. He feels the same way I do and will enforce the moral code of the school to its highest standing."

Yeah, right, Tanukichi thought. You, yourself, are a sexual predator…

Anna continued. "In fact, he asked if he could be a member of the council, and knowing his family background of good moral up-standing people, I didn't have the heart to refuse. Besides, I think he'll infuse some fresh blood into the council, apart from Mr. Okuma, of course, who has been a fantastic addition to our now proud foursome. But like all good council's, an odd member is best two break a tie if we are in dispute about an issue when it comes to school programs."

Kajou winked at Tanukichi, obviously indicating something sexual.

"I'm pleased to have him on board, he's a new transfer student whose just come to our school with the highest of accreditations and morality standing. He's waiting outside in the hallway. I asked him to meet us here. You can come in now."

Oh no! Please don't let it be him? Tanukichi pleaded, dreading the thought.

The door to the Student Council Room opened and Tanukichi's eyes widened with shock and disbelief. It was who he feared, the new guy who had been ogling him from the very start of his tenure.

Riley Tasei walked through the door, put up a hand, and smiled a pretty-boy grin, and said, "Hello everyone. What a pleasure it is to meet you all. My name is Riley Tasei and I'm happy to be accepted, on probation of course, to the student council." Taller than Tanukichi, he was thinner, and had wild dark hair with long bangs. He also had movie-star looks.

Tanukichi then caught a wink from Riley. At one point when Riley had found himself alone with Tanukichi, he wasn't shy about what he wanted to do to him, but used innuendo so the PM's wouldn't pick up his true meaning. And he used a lot of references to bananas and donuts.

Basically, Riley wanted to rape him—like Anna did and repeatedly attempted.

"You can sit across from Mr. Okuma, Mr. Tasei," Anna said, gesturing to the chair. Anna then explained to the council about Riley's family heritage and that his parents were members of the high echelon within the moral authorities. And his father was one of the newest developers of the "Shock Collar" that was coming out next year.

Basically it was a collar that not only recorded naughty language and morality ambiguity, but it also shocked the person remotely as punishment. It was a method to not only inflict punishment upon the violator, but the deliverance of the shock also determined whether or not the authorities needed to get involved or that a single shock would be suited for the purpose to alter the person's behaviour. Similar to stopping a dog from urinating on the carpet, eventually the person will think about their words, even their own natural belabour. SOX was dead set against it and had voiced their opinion openly.

Anna looked around at the council members. "We have a good number of members now. And with Mr. Tasei with us, we're sure to have some good debates on the up-keeping of morality at the school. Everyone knows Mr. Okuma's background, but he's very sincere in not following in his father's cause."

Riley put up a hand. "Forgive me, but I don't know Mr. Okuma's father's background. If I may request a brief summary?" The respect was almost made in a sarcastic tone.

Tanukichi sighed, he hoped it wouldn't come to this. Not only was Riley pursuing him at school, much like Anna, but now he wanted to know his family background, too? Next, he'll want to know where he lives. Tanukichi quickly put up a hand, and then spoke, "I rather not discuss it in chambers," he said adamantly. "It's not the kind of subject to be spoken about openly, if you get my understanding?" And he indicated the PM around his neck.

"I agree," Anna said. "So, let us move on to other business."

Riley gave him a crooked smirk, as if to say, "Nice deflection."

But Riley seemingly wasn't done. While Anna spoke, something touched and rubbed against Tanukichi crotch from underneath the council table. It was Riley's foot. And he jumped to his feet.

"Is there anything wrong, Mr. Okuma?" Anna asked.

"Um, no…everything's fine," he said, his voice a little squeaky. Riley smiled at him.

"Then if you don't wish to add anything, please take a seat," Anna insisted.

When the meeting was over, Anna approached Tanukichi as he was gathering his book bag with Riley at her side. Tanukichi was tense whenever Riley was around, but he had to keep his nervousness under wraps with Anna. It was just too complicated to explain why.

"Mr. Okuma, I would like you to show Mr. Tasei around campus," she said with a smile. "I think it would be a goodwill gesture if a current member aid a new student with this. We wouldn't want Mr. Tasei to get lost and miss a meeting, would we? Call it a personal favour request from me."

Her words sounded more like an order than a request.

Tanukichi sighed mentally. Of course she'd pick me and I bet Riley had something about it.

But then he relented. If he refused, he'd have to explain why, and Anna wouldn't believe his excuse anyway, seeing Riley came from a very good moral family and that Tanukichi Okuma was the son of an ero-terrorist.

"Okay," he said, albeit reluctantly.

Riley put his arm around Tanukichi's shoulders as if they were now good buddies. "Don't worry, Mr. Okuma, Ms. Nishikinomiya—"

"Call me Anna, or Miss President, Mr. Tasei," she expressed. Riley looked confused. "While we do stand on ceremony, and I call Mr. Okuma by his surname due to my position in being President of the Student Council, calling him anything else wouldn't seem appropriate, in my opinion—it just suits him better—you may call him by his first name: Tanukichi, if you wish? If that's okay, Mr. Okuma?"

Tanukichi sighed. "That's fine," he said.

"Mr. Okuma will show you everything you wish to see, even places not normally travelled. Hidden places that are best to explore, where sometimes a person just wants to be alone and reflect."

Riley's brow rose. "Interesting," he said. "I enjoy a little exploration. It gets me excited."

Tanukichi gave a little eye roll. "Yeah, sure…But some areas are off limits," he said straightly.

Riley winked at him and then licked his lips. To Anna, he must have been to moist his lips due to dryness, but Tanukichi knew otherwise. He was trying to be seductive and provocative.

Tanukichi knew what Riley meant where he "enjoyed a little exploration" and it wasn't parts of the school he wasn't taking about. Riley had once pitched his butt to Tanukichi when no one was looking. Riley acted like a perfect gentleman in mixed company—and the girls adored him—but when alone, it was like he had a duel personality much like Anna. He would whisper things into Tanukichi's ear that the PM couldn't pick up: vulgar, nasty, and lewd things. And he had a weird obsession with cucumbers and carrots.

"Mr. Okuma—I mean Tanukichi—and I are going to get on swell," Riley smiled, "like two bread sticks in a pack."

"I'm so happy to hear that," Anna's said, smiling, seemingly oblivious to Riley's true intentions.

The school grounds were near empty. Tanukichi didn't want to be here, but he would do his due diligence and bite the bullet and escort Riley around the school. He just hoped Riley didn't try anything.

For the first ten minutes, Riley admired the school grounds, and Tanukichi breathed a sigh of relief. It looked like Riley wasn't going to try anything and just take in the sights. They walked around the main facilities, and health care centre, the gymnasium, the track and field, and eventually ended up next to the school tool shed where maintenance stored their stuff. That was when it happened and out of sight from everything. Riley pinned Tanukichi against the wall of the tool shed.

With both hands on either side of Tanukichi's head, Riley smirked: "Tanukichi, the first time I laid eyes on you, when you greeted me at my limo when I first arrived, you were like an angel from the heavens greeting me at the ivory gates. You are so easy on the eyes and make my heart go aflutter. I just want to eat you up. If you get my drift?" He smiled a tooth grin.

"I just happen to be in the area," Tanukichi replied. "Don't make it out anything other than what it was. I was interested in who owned the limo. In retrospect, I wish I had just walked away. I told you before, I'm not interested. But I won't say anything to anyone. Let's just let it be and go our separate ways."

Riley leaned in and kissed Tanukichi on the lips and Riley's tongue entered his mouth. Tanukichi pushed him away and wiped his mouth. "Stop that! Do you want to get arrested? People can see you!"

Riley looked around, but there was no one in sight and nothing but forest surrounding the grounds. "I see no prying eyes, my sweet Tanukichi," he said lushly, and turned back. "Oh, come on, don't play hard to get." He cupped Tanukichi's chin with a forefinger and thumb. "I'm telling you straight off, you're cute, and I know we can be very close acquaintances under the right circumstances."

"Not that close," Tanukichi said, and pushed Riley away. "Out of curtesy for your name and family, and for Anna, I won't report this. But this is a warning. So, don't engaging in any more of this behaviour anymore or I will inform the Prefect, that woman who stood by Anna in the Student Council Room."

Riley laughed. "My father will just cover it up again." HIs eyes seemed to glitter. "I can make things very hard for you…at this school. My father is hoping to use this school as a beta site for his new 'Shock Collar'. If successful, these new revolutionary collars will prevent any and all licentious behaviour. Everything will be monitored, except those deemed highly morally exempt." He smirked. "And if you're a good boy, I can make it so you won't be a beta tester. Of course, I'm not getting one because I don't need one." He laughed short. "These new collars will inhabit abusive verbal language and action as well. It will make things a lot easier for MAC-MCs, the Moral Authority Control and Monitoring Centres."

Basically it's a strict control mechanism and all freedom would be eliminated, Tanukichi concluded. SOX would be finished. It would no longer be down to just simple morality that will be observed, but Japan would be under a strict totalitarian regime, and that would be even worse than the current situation.

"We're not animals, we deserve our freedoms," Tanukichi countered.

"Oh, I agree," Riley said, "but that privilege will be reserved for people like my father those that can afford it. As for the general masses, you'll out of luck I'm afraid. But I can swing things to make an exception for you if you'd like." Riley reached down and cupped Tanukichi below, squeezing as if judging size. Tanukichi gasped and then sneered. "Very supple," Riley smiled, "but only by tasting fruit can you truly learn its flavour. Fruit isn't for everyone. Some nectar is too sour or sweet for them."

Tanukichi chose his words carefully, knowing the PM's were listening. "The price is too high," he said, and shoved Riley back. "And I never cared for fruit."

"So, you're a vegetable kind of guy. I love cucumbers. I could eat them all day!"

All of sudden, Riley's face became dark and sinister. He reached into his pocket and brought out what looked like a miniature taser. He depressed the trigger and electricity travelled between the nodes. He grabbed Tanukichi by the tie and rolled it up and around his hand. He brought the taser up to Tanukichi's face, exhibiting the shock value. "I always carry one of these for protection and it has come in handy sometimes. Have you ever felt at the sting of a taser, Tanukichi?"

Tanukichi didn't want to say so, but he had—when SOX fought Ichinose Takuma, the leader of 'Gathered Fabric'. Ichinose had a taser attached to his privates and he used it as a weapon quite masterfully. When Tanukichi got too close to him, Ichinose used it on him tasing him between the butt cheeks. It was not a pleasant experience and it stung for hours afterward.

"Be careful, Tanukichi. Being the son of a wealthy philanthropist has huge advantages and I always get what I want. What I want is staring me in the face right now. You will give me what I want or I'll take it out on your friends and say you came onto me. Your father is well known, so it wouldn't be difficult for the lie to spread. You'll be thrown in jail and by the time you get out, you'll be an old man."

Tanukichi clenched his jaw. "I haven't done anything to you to warrant blackmail!"

"Oh, there's always a reason," Riley said, "and since this doesn't concern lewdness of any kind, the PM's aren't recording our little conversion."

Suddenly, Riley gave Tanukichi a taste of the taser to his stomach. He cried out and folded over, collapsing to one knee.

"The Moral Authorities are mildly aware of my activities," Riley said. "But they don't do anything because of my father. They turn a blind eye. I admire a certain group that will remind nameless because if I say it the PM's will record it. They fight oppression and believe people should be able to express themselves with freedom and forethought."

But you take it to a whole difficult level, Tanukichi thought. He grunted from the pain.

Riley grabbed Tanukichi's chin and tilted his head up, Tanukichi looked him straight in the eyes. "I'm of the understanding that you know certain people I may be interested in speaking with, friends, or be it just passing acquaintances. But tell them to meet me at the mansion on the hill, that's where I live. I wish to discuss certain things with them."

"I, ah, I wouldn't know how to get a hold of them," Tanukichi lied, about SOX. "They don't advertise."

Riley smiled. "Be persuasive," he said strictly. "I wish to greet them and on my home turf. Let's say, tomorrow night, after dark. If they don't show, then your days as a free man are over, Tanukichi Okuma."

Riley tasered him again with more force this time. Tanukichi's eyes rolled into the back of his head and the last thing he saw was that of Riley before he collapsed into complete unconsciousness.
