The next day at Anger Management Class, Shiage had every girl read a poem they had written about their feelings .
Ruiko started reading his poem.
If my name were Bobby,
would you ask about my hobbies.
Or if my name were Judas,
would you ask me what my mood is?
I laugh, I cry, I love, I hate.
I do so much more than detonate.
Think of it
"That was beautiful." Shiage commented. "You're gonna make me cry."
"Yeah, that was some real clever symbolism." Mikoto deadpanned.
"Yeah, cous. Good job." Kazari punched Ruiko on his shoulder. "You could be a good poet sooner."
"Ah! Mikoto," Shiage called. "Why don't we hear you poem?"
"I don't have a poem." Mikoto replied
"Why not?" she asked.
"Because I didn't write one." He answered.
"And, is there a reason?"
"Well. You know, I was gonna do it, but then I thought about it. and I realized, 'Oh, this is a huge waste of my time.' So I didn't do it."
Shiage growled, and was about to attack Mikoto, but she calmed herself down. "Deep breath. Deep breath. Deep breath!" she took a deep breath, and exhaled. "And we're back in the now." Then, she turned to Kuroko, "Kuroko! You had your hand up the whole time."
Kuroko ran out, and came back with a thing under a white cover, "My poem is about a hate crime." He pulled the cover, and revealed the dummy that had smashed yesterday.
"How did it...?" Shiage gasped
Mikoto looked at it, and figured out that the dummy belongs to Kuroko, "Uh oh."
"Oh no." Ruiko said in horror.
While everyone looked in terror, Kazari secretly smiled, and exclaimed silently, "Yes." Then, she thought over, "Wait, I didn't beat that. Who did it?"
"A lot of sickos out there." Mikoto said, knowing he could be in trouble, "A lot of sickos."
Then, Kuroko started reciting his poem.
What? Oh, what did I make you of?
I made you out of love.
But, wait. Too late.
Now I see your fate.
Some very troubled somebody destroyed you out of hate.
What could have made him so despise
your happy smile, your laughing eyes.
Your soul was pure.
Your heart was true.
And someone hated that
But, who?
Kuroko took out the Mikoto feather, and glared at Mikoto. Mikoto knew he was in trouble as everyone glared at him, except Kazari, who snickered secretly, thinking it was very funny. He nervously cleared his throat and silently blamed Index.
Index punched Mikoto hardly, and he hit against the wall. "Yeah, I deserve that." He said.
"Billy has passed to a high plane of existence?" Shiage cried. "Everyone join wings. Let us all say our goodbyes."
"Yeah. Let me get in here, I got to say goodbye..." Mikoto tried to join in, but the other girls did not let him join in. "Okay. Okay. You know, I'll just mourn from back here, that's fine."
"Come on, cous. Join us." Ruiko called to Kazari,
"No thanks." Kazari said. "You guys just do it."
Mikoto wondered why Kazari doesn't want to join in as Kuroko, Shiage, Index, and Ruiko continued to mourn.
"You know, if there is one thing Billy always hated was goodbyes."
"Hey. What's going on there?" Ruiko interrupted as he noticed a commotion going on outside Shiage's hut. girls were running past toward the beach. "Hey. Where's everybody going?"
"Hurry, something's coming!" Komoe shouted.
"Last one to the beach is a rotten egg!" shouted Kuroko as he took off at super-fast speed.
"Let's go!" chimed in Ruiko, and the group left Shiage's hut.
When Kazari tried to catch up with the other girls and her cousin, she accidentally tripped on a small rock, and stumbled down. No one helped her since all of the girls rushed to the beach.
Luckily, Mikoto was still there, and helped Kazari to get up, "Are you okay?" he asked.
"I'm fine. Thanks." She replied as Mikoto brushed the dirt out of Kazari's feathers.
"Come on. I'll join you." Mikoto said as he and Kazari rushed together to the beach.
When they all made it to the beach, the girls saw a ship coming. Just then, it hit a rock and changed course. It began picking up speed. Mikoto realized that the ship was heading directly toward his house.
"My house! My house!" Mikoto ran towards , but it was too late. The ship reached shore and stopped just as it touched Mikoto's house. Mikoto breathed a sigh of relief. But then, a large anchor, that was a large stone, dropped from the ship and crashed right through his roof. It smashed through the walls and floors with a loud crash. Mikoto was in shock. "What the? That house took me 5 years to build."
"Wow. It's such a shame when you create something and someone just destroys it." Kuroko said sarcastically.
Kazari rubbed Mikoto's back to calm him down, "Don't worry about it. I spent 10 years for my house to grow taller from the ground." When she said that, Mikoto looked at her with a confusing looks. "Honestly, I slept on the sand for ten years."
"Ladies and gentlemen." A voice from the ship was heard as the girls stared at the huge door on the side of the ship opened, and a motorized gangplank was lowered. "We have a very special guest for you. He's a green marine sailing machine. And he's king, to let you know, he's not mean. Put your wings together for… Leonard!"
Leonard appeared at the top and looked over the crowd, "Thank you very much. Please hold you applause. Greetings from my world, the world of the pigs."
"What's a pig?" Kuroko whispered to Mikoto and Kazari.
"I am a pig!" Leonard said as he made his way down the gangplank. Or rather, tried to make his way down. As he got halfway, the motor stopped and became stuck. "Unbelievable." He said, and looked at the other pig, who fiddled with the remote control. The gangplank jerked and began moving him backward to the top of the ramp.
"Wrong way!" Leonard shouted. "We practiced this a hundred times." He grabbed the remote out of the other's pig's hooves. He fiddled with a few controls and then smiled at the girls. "We're gonna come in again." Whit a shudder, the gangplank moved forward smoothly, and he descended toward the beach. "My name is Leonard, but my friends call me Kurokoles. We mean no harm. We saw your island across the sea and we thought, 'I wonder what they're up to?'"
"But, there's no other place besides here." Komoe said.
"Yes, there is." Leonard explained. And we are from there. We call it, Piggy Island. P-I-GG-Y Island."
"Who else is out there?" Motoharu asked
"My first officer, Ross and I have sailed everywhere. One brave soul against the sea, and Ross." Leonard continued.
"Ah, excuse me." Said Mikoto angrily. "Have you come to smash all of our houses or just mine?"
"Mikoto, please, don't say it." Kazari whispered as she tried to pull him back. "They will hate you more."
"Ho ho. Somebody want a gift basket." Leonard just smiled. "Please. Please. Don't be afraid. My partner and I request the honor of your friendship." Then, he turned to Ross. "Ross, show them how'd we do it."
Ross made his way among the girls. He gave each girl a tight hug and called them 'friend.'When he got to Index, he realized that maybe a hug wasn't the best way to meet this new pal
Judge Teitoku Kakine stepped forward and addressed both Leonard and the girls. "Welcome to Academy City! Welcome to our new friends, the Cars."
"And a hoof to a wing." Said Leonard as he shook the judge's wing.
The other girls clapped and cheered at the historic moment. Mikoto and Kazari did not join in. As they watched the girls welcome Leonard and Ross, they could not help but feel that something was off with the possessed cars as Auto-B-Good style.
