Seventeenth returning Jump Girl for Month of Pink; Homura Momiji from Dr. Stone.

-:-

The pink-haired gymnast glared at her mortal enemy, the gorilla girl bimbo, who glared right back.

"I don't know what you're planning, but you won't win," hissed out Homura, wanting to rip this bitch's hair.

Instead of responding, the blonde turned to the leader of the Kingdom of Science.

"Why is she out of her cell, Senku? What could we possibly need her for?!" demanded Kohaku, as she pointed at the girl currently tied to a chair.

"Do you have to be so loud?" replied the scientist with a sigh, making Kohaku's eye twitch. He then looked at Homura. "We want you to join the Kingdom of Science."

Ah, so Hyouga was right. Senku needed their strength now that Tsukasa was gone.

"Where's Hyouga?" she asked. If she was going to plan an escape, she needed to know where her master was.

She didn't like the grin that was forming on Senku's face. "We moved him to a new location where you won't find him."

Her eyes widened in fear. "Wh-What?! Why?!"

"Did you really think we'd let you two plan together to take us down like you tried with Tsukasa?"

"H-How did you find out about that?" she questioned, tensing up.

"You just told us," replied Senku with that damn grin back on his face.

Whatever tension Homura was feeling left her as she stared at the man before her with a blank look. Did she really just fall for one of the oldest tricks in the book?! Hyouga was going to be furious with her when he finds out!

"I'm going to murder you and that gorilla girl bimbo of yours," Homura hissed out, giving them the fiercest glare she could.

"Not before I murder you first, you cow!" shouted Kohaku as she tried to lunge at the girl for the "gorilla girl" crack.

Homura could only watch smugly as Senku barely restrained Kohaku.

"Would you knock it off, you lioness," said Senku, earning a growl from Kohaku.

Letting out a laugh, Homura continued to taunt them. "I don't know why you think I'll just join your little kingdom. Sooner or later I'll escape and I will find Hyouga, after which we will tear your kingdom down."

Instead of the worried or scared looks she was expecting, she was met with a smug smirk from Senku. She narrowed her eyes on him as he walked over to a nearby box and opened it. When he took out the object inside, her eyes widened upon seeing the one thing she loved as much as her master.

Cotton candy.

"I know how much you obsess over this stuff," stated Senku, holding the sugary treat just close enough to Homura so she could smell it. "The only way you can have it is by joining the Kingdom of Science."

She gulped in nervousness, her mouth watering slightly from the smell of cotton candy. No! She couldn't betray Hyouga over sugar!

That was when Kohaku placed a pail of water onto the table and much to Homura's horror, Senku dipped the cotton candy into it.

"What are you doing?!" she demanded with a screech.

"Until you agree to join us, we'll dissolve all the cotton candy we have right in front of you," answered Senku, picking up another stick of cotton candy before dipping that one as well. "And since we're the only ones who know how to make it, you'll never have it again unless you join us."

It took only five seconds for Homura to break.

"Alright! Alright! I'll join! I'll do whatever you want, Senku-sama! Just don't destroy the candy!"

As Senku untied their newest ally and handed her the cotton candy, Kohaku could only watch with a blank look.

"I can't believe that actually work," said the blonde as she watched Homura gorge herself.

"Women tend to have a sweet tooth as their biggest weakness," explained Senku. "Of course you'd know that if you didn't act like a lioness all the time."

This only earned him a tongue lashing, but it fell on deaf ears as Senku was being Senku and Homura was too focused on her treat to care.
