Exams finished!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had a nice score in algebra and thankfully, even chemistry.

Anyway, algebra is the least of my problems. My problem is chem.! Our teacher's a terror!

So here I am again. I am still alive.

I do not own anything in this fic except for Touya, Ken and the rest. And also the plot, so do not sue me.

And if I type here 'School' it means 'College' or 'University'

~~~{~@ Chapter 11: Gore @~}~~~

As Miaka and Sei walked towards their homerooms, people began to whisper as they passed...

"Look! Isn't that Tsukushi-san?" says one

Duh! It IS him," says another

"Isn't that that new girl from Tokyo?" said another one, "how come she's with Tsukushi-sama?"

"What's her name again?"

"Akaseikun or something"

"Akaseikun? Isn't that guy unmarried?"

"I don't know. I didn't even knew that name till now"

On and on the buzzes went. But fortunately, Miaka didn't hear a thing. She was too busy laughing and talking at the same time with Sei to realize that the whole campus was talking about her.

* * * Meanwhile at Odou's homeroom * * *

Odou was making his homework (he sort of reminds me of me) when one of his classmates tapped him.

"I didn't know Akaseikun-san was your brother's girlfriend, Tsukushi," said the guy.

"What? Miaka-san is not my brother's girlfriend, Ryuiichi" said Odou innocently, "what gave you that idea?"

"That's what I heard." said Ryuiichi, sitting down beside Odou, at Miaka's seat, "I heard they came here together, hand-in-hand and flirting (gossips) with each other. I thought she was your girlfriend,"

Odou flushed furiously and defended himself, "She's not my girlfriend! We're just close friends!!"

"Well whatever," said Ryuiichi, "I suggest you try to keep the rumors down. I even heard that you and Sei-sempai was fighting over her"

* * * At Sei's homeroom * * *

"Bye-bye! Sei-sempai, I'll see ya later!" came Miaka waving cheerfully. She ran out of sight.

"Bye." replied Sei waving at the girl.

Ryu saw all of this. He was just talking to his mates from soccer. He excused himself from his mates and went to Sei.

"I smell something fishy," he said, from behind Sei, grinning widely, "Now tell me all about it."

"What?" went Sei, a bit surprised.

"I called you last night, Sei. Your brother said that you were at a certain girl's house, and from the sound of it, your bro seems to be offended by it." said Ryu grinning more widely, "so what did you do?"

"N-nothing," came Sei nervously trying to wave those dirty thoughts from his best friend, "I just had a sleepover!"

"At a girl's house?" said Ryu, not caring if the whole class were listening, " Sei, this is unlike you!" he (Ryu) went to face the class, and screamed on top of his voice, "SEI MADE OUT WITH SOMEONE YESTERDAY!!!!!!!!! AT THE GIRL'S OWN HOUSE!!!!!!!"

Sei felt his jaw drop. All the guys from his class were cheering, going all berserk. Thank heavens the women aren't here yet he thought or else they might kill Miaka!!

The men all went to Sei asking what happened and "what was the girl's score?" and what were her name and such.

Of course Sei tried to stop them from asking, but found that it wasn't controllable. Instead he mouthed to Ryu "what kind of best friend are you?"

* * * * *

The rumors have spread all over the campus, since Sei is of course one of the most popular men in school. It even reached the faculty! And since Sei was with Miaka during the morning, they all pointed to her.

Perhaps there was only one person who hasn't heard of this yet — Miaka. After all, how could she? All the girls were cold towards her (and she didn't made friends with them since she was too bashful), and all the guys of her class were afraid that Sei might get jealous, if they even dared to talk to her, and make their lives miserable.

Odou was angry with his brother. He believed the rumor. Who wouldn't?

But amidst the rumors, Miaka was thinking of something, or someone else....

* * * Meanwhile, at the Tsukushi Sei Unofficial Fan Club * * *

The president was called Member T0001 or just T0001 (read as Ti triple 0 one) sometimes, with the honorific (Is it called that?) -sama. And two girls were reporting to her.

"So the rumor is true" she said. her voice was soft, almost a whisper. If you look at her, you wouldn't know that underneath that I'm-an-innocent-simple-shy-girl-so-you-can't-suspect-me look is a war-freak girl. "We must do something to eliminate this girl!"

* * * * *

Who is he? Miaka kept thinking to herself. Who is that man?

Miaka had the dream once again. This time, the dream was longer.

Miaka was running up the hill towards the man in the oak tree on top of the hill. once again, the sun was setting, and she couldn't see the man's face. The wind blew furiously, showing that the man had long hair. the man was wearing a cape of red velvet. Miaka assumed that this man was her 'prince' and he would lead her out of her misery. The prince handed to her a ring, a simple gold ring, no fancy stones, but it had some writings or drawings, Miaka can't tell which since the sun's rays were blazing. Miaka held out her hand to receive the ring and —

"Miaka! are you alright?" came Odou's voice. Odou and Miaka had decided that they should drop the honorifics. They decided that they should really be best friends from there on.

"huh?" Miaka snapped out from her day dream, blushing. She didn't know why she was blushing.

"Miaka are you alright? are you sick?" said Odou, checking Miaka for her temperature.

"I'm alright, Odou-chan! Don't worry about me." said Miaka.

"Okay, c'mon then! We might get late for our fitness class!" said Odou.

"Okay. I'll just get something from my locker, alright?"

"Wait, I'll go with you!"

The two walked towards Miaka's shoe locker.

"I keep my notes in my locker sometimes," said Miaka matter-of-factly

"Why there?" wondered Odou.

"Well, nobody opens it." said Miaka shrugging her shoulders.

Miaka opened her locker and found a slip. "Akaseikun-san, beware of the TSUFC!" she read out loud, "'TSUFC'? what's that?" she asked Odou.

"I'm not sure. I think the FC stands for 'Fan Club'" said Odou.

"What would I do to offend a fan club?"

"I don't know. Just ignore it. Besides, if someone tries to bully you, they'll have to pass through me first."

"that's so sweet!" said Miaka grinning.

* * * meanwhile * * *

"WHAT DID YOU DO?!?!" came T0001, as she bangs a girl with pink hair and glasses. She wasn't very fat, and neither was she skinny.

"I only did what is best!" she replied, sounding defensively, "I didn't join this club to hurt someone! we're not a violent frat!"

"T1874! I hereby exclude you from our club! be gone or feel our wrath!" ordered T0001

"Fine!" said the girl, throwing her wristband. the wristband was like an identity to the club and removing it would mean that you are nameless, "I don't need to be called by some fancy code! I don't even like Sei-sempai looks! I only joined this club since can hold a sword!"

She ran away, crying. It was true that she didn't join the club to worship Sei. She wanted to join since she admired the man for his skills in the sword. And she was the type who liked swords. But, being in that club was what made her go to her classes. Her parents are very strict and the teachers always treated her as if she didn't exist. She was alone when she first came, until she went to the club. And now...

The girl sat at the stairs and tried to wipe the tears in her eyes.

* * * * *

Miaka and Odou heard a soft sobbing sound. They went towards the sound and found the girl from earlier.

Miaka reached to her pocket and held out her handkerchief to the girl, "please, don't cry," she said softly to the girl.

The girl looked up to see Odou and Miaka, smiling comfortingly at her. She took Miaka's hanky and wiped her tears.

"Hello, I'm Yu— Akaseikun Miaka," said Miaka holding out her hand to the girl.

"I'm— I'm Tetsu Hitomi (Once again, sorry for the lame name) " she said, "I know who you two are, Akaseikun-san and Tsukushi-san."

"How did you know our name?" asked Odou.

"We're from the same class!" she said smiling gently.

"Really?!" came Miaka, "I didn't knew you were at our class!"

"Well, I know that. Most people doesn't even know I exist" she said trying to hide the sorrow from the two.

Miaka see through her, though. She has learned the sound of a hurt person, trying to conceal his/her feelings.

"If you want, Hitomi-san, we could eat together! You, Odou-chan, and me and maybe Sei-sempai and his friends and oh! There's always room for more!" said Miaka, being sensitive enough as not to show her pity and the fact from Odou.

Hitomi smiled, "I love to! I don't have someone to eat with anyway! thank you, Akaseikun-san, Tsukushi-san!"

"You can call me Odou!" said the boy

"And just call me Miaka!" said Miaka smiling.

* * * * *

"Alright, guys! Member T1874 has left the club and she has joined the enemy! We must eliminate her as well!" came T0001 to her minions.

The other members cheered.

* * * * *

The plan was set. The TSUFC has decided that thee time is right to eliminate their pests. But the problem was when and where...

* * * At lunch * * *

"Hitomi-san, Odou-chan, I'll just go to the girl's room, 'kay?" said Miaka.

"Wait Miaka-san," said Hitomi, "I'm coming with you! Odou-kun, would you like to come to?"

"Are you insane? If I go with you two, the other girls will beat me until I'm dead," Odou pointed out.

The two laughed and waved at Odou.

No matter what, thought Hitomi as they walked to the corridor, I must protect Miaka-san! (She can pass as Miaka's seishi!)

"Miaka-san, tell me, " came Hitomi shyly, "is it really true — that Tsukushi-sempai and you were going out?"

"Sei-sempai?" asked Miaka, "no, we just met two days ago. We're just friends. . ." And more than friends before, she thought, he was my lover. . .

"What?" went Hitomi, "How come everyone says that you two already made out?!"

"What?!?!" came Miaka blushing so hard, "Where did you get that?"

"Well, I just heard that.. they say he had a sleepover in your house..."

"That's true. . . but that doesn't mean that he and I made out! He was only there since there was a flood and my Otousan insisted and his dad and Otousan were very good friends! we didn't made out!"

"Really?" came Hitomi, so the girls received a wrong information!

The two walked further. when they opened the door, a bucket of pig's blood (ala Carry) poured down on the two, as well as the bucket (it fell on Miaka's head). Hitomi only got a few specks. Miaka got most of the blood. She was dripping with pig's blood. Her hair, blouse, skirt and socks were covered with blood.

From the stalls came T0001 along with ten of her minions! (Dun dun du-u-u-u-un!!!)

"Kisama!!!! (supposedly I'm going to call her the 'bitch' term for but I forgot that word. sorry) " came T0001, pointing at Miaka, "How dare you make out with Tsukushi-sama! You might not even be the real daughter of the Akaseikun company! "

"SOU YO!! SOU YO!!" came the other ten members.

"Shiirohana-san (T0001's real name) !" came Hitomi, "stop it! We got the wrong information! She didn't made out with Tsukushi-sempai"

"Hitomi-san, I thought I was jumping to conclusions, but I see that it is really true that you've joined the enemy! GET THEM!!!!!" ordered T0001.

The ten girls came closer to Miaka and Hitomi. Luckily, Hitomi came up with an idea

"Miaka-san, stay behind me!" said Hitomi, making a pose. She whispered something to Miaka.

"RUN!!!!" Hitomi ordered. The two ran towards their homeroom, Hitomi, leading the way and dragging Miaka. The TSUFC were following close behind.

Soon enough, the duo reached their homeroom doors. They hurried inside and locked the doors. Their other classmates looked at the bloody Miaka and the panting Hitomi.

"What happened to you Akaseikun-san?" asked one of their classmates.

"Some lunatics poured blood over her," said Hitomi, for Miaka.

Hitomi took off her glasses and wiped them. when she looked up to everyone, she heard most of the men of the class gasp.

"Tetsu-kun, I didn't knew you were pretty!" came a dazed male voice, "so what're you doing tomorrow night?"

Hitomi just sweatdropped as most of her male classmates began to buzz over her as if he was the latest model of Play Station.

Miaka went back to her seat. I have to endure the humiliation for another two hours! she thought, this isn't my day. . .

"Miaka-chan, are you alright?" asked Odou, placing his jacket over his friend.

"I'm fine," said Miaka, trying not to cry, "Just cold."

Hitomi sat beside Miaka's table and said, "Miaka-san, I'm sorry. . ."

"For what?" asked Miaka, "Thanks for saving me. . ."

"That's what friends are for. Just call me Hitomi. None of these formality, alright?"

"Okay," said Miaka, with a quivering voice, "Call me Miaka"

* * * meanwhile, at Sei's homeroom* * *

"What?" came Sei to Paul, "Who told you that?"

"Everyone," said Paul to Sei, "so, is it really true? you and Miaka-chan are now — "

"Don't be stupid. She's still a kid. If I were to really make out with someone, I prefer her to have experience." said Sei. Poor, Miaka-chan! She must be now very sad. I just hope she won't hate me.

* * * * *

Unknown to Sei, Miaka wasn't sad at all. She was having a bad day, sure, but it's not from the gossip. well partially not. She was having a bad day from Sei's fan club.

The bell rung exactly as schedule. The professor left, and the students began to buzz out to the hall. Some of them, several males, went to ask Hitomi out. Of course, seeing that her friend was in danger, she trampled on her growing popularity and turned the men down.

"Miaka-chan, let's go home." said Hitomi to her friend, "If you go home alone, you might be attacked."

"Yes, Let's go Miaka." said Odou, "And don't worry about the blood, I brought my coat! I'm sure, it'll cover you."

Miaka wasn't able to contain herself. Hitomi and Odou was giving help, but this caused her to pity herself. Just like that time... she thought, Next thing I know, one of them would die because of me!

Miaka's shoulder began to quiver. She sniffled and finally let out a sob.

Odou hugged his friend and cooed to her, "Miaka, please don't cry. You know that I'm here for you! And Hitomi is here for you too!"

Miaka hugged Odou back, If Chiriko grew to be as old as you... I'm sure... I'm sure he'll say the same thing to me...

"Thank you, Odou-chan," she whispered, "Thank you, very much!" She let go of Odou and said, "You two, let's go have fun!"

Odou and Hitomi looked at each other, "But don't you want to change first?" said Hitomi

"I have some money. I can buy some skirt and shirt!" said Miaka.

The three went out. There, at the hall, was Sei, leaning at the wall with his arms folded.

"Miaka-chan," said Sei, "I'm — WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU??"

"Your fans poured blood on her!" said Odou coldly.

Sei shed off his coat and placed it on Miaka's shoulder.

"Thank you, sempai." said Miaka, "would you like to go with us?"

"Where are you going, " asked Sei, kindly to Miaka, "Don't you want to go home?"

"Nah, my Otousan might go berserk."

"Alright, I'll go with the you"
