Eventually, she finally arrived to Shiage's hut, also known as the Infinity Acceptance Center. Mikoto stared at a silly-looking dummy that swayed in the breeze in front of Shiage's hut. It was supposed to look like a girl. Mikoto thought it looked annoying. The dummy held several signs that read 'Be Happy, Smile, and Welcome Angry girls!'. The more Mikoto looked at it, the angrier she got. She tried to calm herself down, and walked straight to the hut by not looking at the dummy. She really wanted to beat that dummy, but she doesn't want to cause more accidents.
She entered the hut, and it was filled with posters and statues of smiling girls, hugging girls, and… "I don't want to see that one." She said with a disgust when she spotted the third statue. Then, she spotted a framed picture of a white hen receiving a certificate, which read 'Free-Rage Chicken'
"You have got to be kidding me." Mikoto said when she read the certificate.
"Oh, hi!" A female voice was heard behind her.
"Aaahhhh!" Mikoto was startled, like she jumped in fear as she turned and stood beak-to-beak with Shiage, who continued talking.
"Hello, you must be the new girl! Welcome! I'm Shiage Hamazura, and I'm going to help you control your anger."
"Hello. I-I'd love to stay, but I'm going to—" Mikoto tried to excuse herself, but Shiage dragged her all the way to her classroom, where other girls, Kuroko Shirai, Ruiko Saten, and Kazari, are waiting.
"Hey guys," Shiage greeted her friends/students, and introduced to their new companion, "I'd like you to meet—"
"Hey, Mikoto, my girl!" Ruiko interrupted and greeted.
"Hi, Ruiko, my man!" Mikoto greeted him with a sly look, and hugged him. "You didn't tell me you're here!"
"Wait, you guys know each other?" Shiage asked, giving a confusing look.
"Oh sure!" Ruiko said, "We're cousins!"
"Can you see the resemblance?" Mikoto asked as she and Ruiko stood straight to let Shiage observe them.
Shiage looked at them closely to see if there's any proof that they are cousins. Only similar to them was their head feathers. "Well, your head feathers are the same."
"Exactly!" Mikoto exclaimed. "I never thought I could spend a lot of time with my dearest cousin."
"Okay, everyone!" Shiage interrupted, "Since Mikoto's here, she's not the only one who is new here. There's gonna be another one coming, although he should be here 2 minutes ago."
"Ooh, I like new friends!" Mikoto squealed happily, "I hope this new girl doesn't make fun of me, and I hope we all gonna be best of friends. Now who has sunflowers seeds? I'm hungry."
"You and me both, cous." Ruiko whispered.
Then Shiage heard a grunting sound, coming from her door, "Oh, that must be him."
When the four girls are now alone, Mikoto looked to her right, and saw Kuroko Shirai. "Hi, I'm Mikoto Misaka, but just call me, Mikoto." She extended her wing to Kuroko.
"Hi. I never had a girl buddy before, but you're my first one, especially who was somebody's cousin. By the way, my name is Kuroko. I like you already." The hyper yeallow girl said with speed talk.
"Wow, you talk fast." Mikoto redled. "Pretty impressive."
Just then, Shiage returned with Kazari beside her, and said to the other girls, "Hey, guys, I'm back! Say hello to Kazari Uiharu, everyone. "
"Hi Kazari!" Said Ruiko with a big smile.
Mikoto stretched her arm in the air, and waved 'hi' to Kazari.
"Hello, girls I won't get to know well." Said Kazari.
Kuroko began waving frantically at him. "Hey, apparently somebody didn't get the memo that we like to start on time. Because you're about 2 minutes late, don't let it happen again. Hi, my name is Kuroko. I'm sorry we got off on the wrong foot. I like you a lot. I can tell."
"Okay." Shiage redled, then turned to Kazari. "Now, Kazari. Would you like to share your story with us?"
"No, not really." He replied.
"Well, the court mentioned something about a rage episode at a child's birthday party." Shiage said.
"How long is this class anyway?" He asked.
"As long as you make it." Shiage said
"Really? Oh, okay." Kazari started a speech of greetings to his new friends, "Uh, lady and gentlemen, very nice to see you." Kuroko, Ruiko, and Mikoto smiled at this speech. "And uh, almost meet you. Probably the nicest part of it is not getting to meet you." He continued as the same three girls turned their smiles to frowns. "You know, in some weird away. Alright. So, I'm gonna go ahead and... scoot on back out, past those creepy statues and..." Kazari tried to escape, but Shiage made him sit on a cushion. "Sure. No, I can... take a seat."
Shiage placed herself in the middle of the room, where the other girls sit on their cushions in a circled. "So, in another sense, you are here until I notify the court that your anger issues have been resolved." When she saw Kazari's face fall, she turned to Kuroko. "Kuroko! Share your story with Kazari."
Kuroko sat up straight and pointed to his chest. "Me? I'm the last guy that should be here. Simple speeding ticket. Judge tells me I was going too fast. So I say, 'Your Honor. To be honest. I was' You caught me. I'm not angry. I'm honest. So, shouldn't I be in an honesty management class? 'Cause we got to manage my honesty."
Shiage looked at Kuroko and shook her head as she took Kuroko's folder, "My one problem, that's a different story than you told last time."
"Uh-uh..." Kuroko smiled sheepishly as he remembered when he got speeding ticket from the police officer when he ran so fast, messing the his office, stealing his wallet, and dropping ice cream on him. "Okay. Maybe, it wasn't ice cream."
"Alright, Kuroko. Thanks, we got it." She said as she introduced everyone to another girl. A very, very, very large girl with dark-Kazari feathers, "This is Kazari."
Kazari just growled at Kazari and Mikoto in response to being introduced, and Kazari said, "More like Ter-rifying!
"You and me both think of that, man." Mikoto said as she was also frightened,
"No. It says here in the little filey…" As Shiage looked through Kazari's folder, her eyes widened, and looked at Kazari, who was smiling when he remembered the accident back then, then she shut the folder quickly, "Kazari uh, seems to have an… incident." Then, turned to Ruiko. "Now, Ruiko's started with us 2 weeks ago. Tell us your story, Ruiko."
"Okay. Well, sometimes when I get upset, I... have been known to... blow up."
"So, like uh. Like what? Like you get mad, you mean." Kazari asked.
"Well. No." replied Ruiko. "I literally blow up, okay. I explode like a Ruiko. Hence the name." He remembered the day he exploded when his friends made a surprise party for him.
Kuroko jumped up and down, shouting "Do it!"
"No can do." Said Ruiko. "I just went boom-boom before class."
"Hey, look. I don't want to be here and all, but this can maybe make it a little more interesting to me." Kazari sat up straight. "So. Please, explode."
"You can't do it, can you?" Kuroko crossed his arms, and glared at Ruiko
"Yes, I can. But, I'm having back issues today, so... I'm gonna have to take a rain check."
"Oh... Do it!"
"This is not the time or place, little amigo."
"These guys are all nuts, huh, big man?" Kazari said to Kazari as the big girl growled at him and Mikoto seemed to be frightened of him too, and she hid behind Kazari.
"You know, I can blow up if you want." Mikoto said. "I'm Ruiko's cousin. We have the same head feather."
"Oh no need, girl." Kazari waved, "I'm fine with it, but what's up with you? Why you're here?
"I'm not actually blown up like my cousin." She explained. "I… accidentally pushed some girl in the line in Early girl's worm shop."
Kazari was surprised of Mikoto's explanation. "Whoa, you did it? That's how those girls I saw were lying on the ground. I thought they were just resting. Actually it was really funny."
"Really? But I did something bad."
"Yeah, I know. But, for me, I shoved a cake on a girl's face!"
Mikoto found Kazari's story funny. "Ha! It is really funny!" She extended her wing to Kazari. "I'm Agatha, by the way, Mr. Kazari."
Kazari shook hands with her. "It's just Kazari, Agatha."
"It's Mikoto now." She never thought that Kazari was so cute, despite of his thick eyebrows.
Even Kazari never thought Mikoto would be so pretty, even though she was a simple girl with over-grown feathers
A few minutes later, Shiage was leading the girls through a series of yoga poses. "Managing our anger through movement. The first pose is the dancer pose."
When Shiage do the pose, Kazari did exactly what she did. "Great form, Kazari."
Kuroko was doing different poses "Eagle. Parrot. Peacock? Warrior. Mountain. Tree. Rabbit. Fish. Locust. King pigeon. And of course, downward duck."
Kazari was about to make a remark to Kuroko when he noticed Ruiko shaking even more. Kazari began to get very worried. "Excuse me, boring heavy lady. Looks like the exploding guy's gonna puke."
"And have you done this before?" Shiage helped Kazari doing the dancer pose.
"Uh, yes, I have. But, usually not for free." replied Kazari .
Mikoto was also struggling doing the post, which she hated it. "Ugh, I hate doing this! I also hate exercising."
"You and me both." Kazari smirked at her.
Shiage walked over to Ruiko and noticed that his eyes were beginning to tear and that he was having trouble keeping still. "And how are we doing over here, Ruiko?"
"Doing wonderful." Ruiko gasped. "Stretching out the core."
"Just remember to breathe," said Shiage. "Up to your feathers, and from your talons."
Suddenly, Ruiko's eyes widened, and Shiage and Mikoto realized what was about to happen next.
"Take cover!" Mikoto announced as she pushed herself, Kazari, and Kuroko on the floor to protect themselves from what was about to happened.
Then, suddenly, BOOM! Ruiko exploded inside the hut that the walls were charKazari and black.
"Nice." Shouted Kuroko.
Kazari, Kuroko, Ruiko, and Mikoto walked back to girl village after leaving Shiage's hut.
Ruiko was still smoking a little from his explosion. "I don't know what happened. I was doing the poses. I was feeling all zen. Shiage was digging it! Then I lost my grip on it. I let it slipped and it just squeaked out."
After listening to her cousin's explanation, Mikoto apologized to Kazari, "Kazari, I'm sorry I pushed you on the floor. I hope you're not mad at me."
"No, no, no. It was nothing." Said Kazari. "Thanks for covering for me, anyway."
Mikoto blushed a little.
"Hey. So, where are we going?" Kuroko asked.
"I'm sorry. We?" Kazari asked in return, looking uncomfortable.
"Yes, 'we'. There's a new happiness exhibit at the Museum of Happiness that I'm dying to see." The yellow girl shouted excitingly.
"Uh, you know what? I... I mean I got a... I got a thing."
"A thing?" gasped Kuroko. "Like a disease? Is it girl flu? Chicken pox? Cardinal sin?"
"No, by 'thing' I mean like... desire not to hang out, with you."
"Oh." Said Kuroko. He was very disappointed and a little hurt, but he pretended not to be. "Oh, yeah. Well, may... you know. Maybe for the best, you know. Because... I got something too. How did I forget? Even if you'd say yes, I probably couldn't have gone."
Even Mikoto was very disappointed that her new friend, who was cute to her, can't hang out with her, and a little hurt, but, unlike Kuroko, she was also busy for real. "Oh well, it doesn't matter. I was also busy. I already skipped breakfast, and I'm hungry!"
Ruiko felt bad for Kuroko and Mikoto, and joined in as well. "I'm busy too, I have a... Business offer... deal that is..."
"No, Ruiko. You're not good at this, buddy." Kazari interrupted. "It's-It's charming up to a point and now it's just sad."
"It's a guy I know." The black girl continued pretending as Kazari, Kuroko, and Mikoto thought he was not good in lying. "And he's opening up a brand… new… luxury… class reunion."
"Okay," said Kazari. "Good." With that, he turned and left Kuroko, Ruiko, and Mikoto standing in the middle of the street.
"Looks like it's just us." Said Ruiko. "Want to go get a bite?"
"Oh, but what about your class reunion, where everybody brings a business offer." Kuroko reminded.
"Oh. No, no, no. Kuroko, I was lying." He confessed. I'm sorry if I've fooled you." Then, he turned to his cousin. "Hey, cous, how about you? Wanna come?"
"Um, cous, I wasn't pretending." Mikoto explained. "I really need to go home. I have some work to do."
"Really? Alright, I'll see you tomorrow." Ruiko waved at his cousin as Mikoto left Kuroko and Ruiko to hang out to themselves.
When Mikoto almost got home, she saw Kazari walked to his home on the beach, outside the village.
"What?" thought Mikoto. "Kazari lived outside the village too? Wow, poor Kazari. He may have anger issues, and wants to be alone too, like me. Well, not that kind of distance away from the village or near the shore, like my house. Oh well." She entered the house, took out her keytar from her music room, and sat on the couch while playing a song.
