Chapter Two: Sparks of Anger
Suzuno couldn't tell her friends about her break up with Tatara because she feared that they would blame themselves.
---Monday---
Suzuno and Tatara didn't seat together during homeroom and chemisty class. During break time, Suzuno went to the school's back gate and cried. It was the only place that the student hardly ever visit. She didn't know she was followed by Takiko, Miaka and Yui.
"I'll talk to her." Takiko said as she left Miaka and Yui hiding behind the corner.
"Suzuno…" Takiko called.
"Takiko!" Suzuno exclaimed.
"If something is bothering you, why don't you tell us?" Takiko asked.
"I couldn't!" Suzuno cried.
Back with Miaka and Yui, Rimudo suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
"Rimudo!" Yui exclaimed.
"Shhh." Rimudo said.
"Takiko, I broke up with Tatara…We had a huge fight. When I told him about Tamahome and Miaka…he began arguing about Yui turning Suboshi down on his birthday…!" Suzuno cried.
"Oh my…" Takiko exclaimed.
"I don't want Miaka and Yui to blame themselves for the break up…" Suzuno said.
Upon hearing this Rimudo quickly went to find Tatara. Tatara was with Tamahome and Suboshi, trying to chill out – they're all in a bad mood.
"Tatara, I saw Suzuno by the back gate, crying." Rimudo said.
"Oh yeah…let her cry as much as she wants" Tatara said.
"Did you break up with her?" Tamahome asked.
"Yeah, it doesn't matter. Let's not bother to talk about nonsense stuff." Tatara said, trying to show that he doesn't care.
"You know anything about Suzuno is not nonsense to you." Tamahome said.
"She's no longer my girlfriend so I don't care about her anymore." Tatara said, trying to close the matter.
"Did you break up because of me?" Suboshi asked.
"Enough of Suzuno." Tatara said.
"Tatara, was it because of me!" Suboshi asked demandingly.
"You want to know? Partly yeah…but she mostly complained about Miaka getting hurt." Tatara said.
"Go back to her, Tatara. Tell her I won't hurt Miaka's feelings anymore." Tamahome said.
During Calculus class, the teacher said that the class must split into two groups: girls versus boys. Tatara noticed that Suzuno's eyes were all red from crying. Both groups were determined to win. There was an atmosphere of hatred between Tatara and Suzuno. Being the class' top students, Suzuno and Tatara were chosen to represent their group. Yui, seeing Suzuno's determination, decided to help her. Nakago, not wanting to compete with his girlfriend, did not help his group at all. With Yui's help, Suzuno was able to finish the math sheets before Tatara did.
"Girls are done, they win." The teacher announced.
"Yay!" Takiko said as she and Miaka hugged each other in joy.
During lunch time, Tamahome searched for Miaka and found her by the lockers alone. Out of curiosity, Rimudo, Tatara and Suboshi followed him from a distance.
"Miaka." Tamahome called, cornering Miaka between him and the lockers.
"Tamahome!" Miaka exclaimed in fright.
"Go out with me, Miaka, and tell Suzuno to go back to Tatara." Tamahome said, trying his best to sound as sweet has possible.
"No, Miaka. He'll just hurt your feelings and besides I am not going back to Tatara." Suzuno said firmly as she, Takiko and Yui approached them.
"Keh, have it your way. I was doing this for you and Tatara anyway." Tamahome said as he left.
After lunch they headed for their next class: physical education. Since Tatara and Suzuno were lovers, they took the same classes. Suzuno's friends wanted to stick with her and so did Tatara's friends.
"We're going to have a competition with the boys' best whip fighter today. Gambatte, Yui." The teacher said as she handed Yui a whip.
"Hai." Yui said.
There was no doubt that Suboshi was the boys' best whip fighter. His skills at using whips are legendary. One of the reasons why he was attracted to Yui was because she was also skilled at whips and was almost a match for him. So the match began with Yui and Suboshi trying to attack each other with their whips. Of course they were both wearing protection to avoid getting injured. More than a couple of times had their whips twisted together and got tangled. Suboshi started moving faster…too fast for Yui to catch up. It was then when Suboshi saw the chance. His whip coiled itself around Yui's body causing her to fall over. And so the boys won. Nakago came and helpedYui up then he hugged her tightly as though trying to say, "It's okay.". This sight really pissed Suboshi.
"I'm sorry…" Yui apologized to her friends.
"Yui, you did your best. Don't apologize to us!" Miaka said.
Later in the evening, Takiko went to Suzuno's house to check on her. Suzuno assured her that she is okay and there is no need to worry. After talking to Suzuno, Takiko decided to go back home. She was deep in thoughts that she didn't notice a car rushing towards her. It was the car's beeping that called her attention…but it was already too late. Suddenly she felt someone grabbed her by the waist, out of the car's way.
"What were you doing!" someone asked.
Looking at her life saver, she recognized him: Rimudo.
"Gomen nasai…" Takiko stammered.
"What are you doing out here this late at night!" Rimudo asked.
"I was on my way home from Suzuno's house."
"Go home quickly then. It's dangerous to be out late at night."
"Arigatou…" Takiko said as she stood up.
"We're still mad at your group." Rimudo said as Takiko left.
The next day, they had a naginata and martial arts competition. Takiko and Miaka were both getting ready for the match. So the naginata match began with Takiko as the girls' representative and Rimudo as the boys'. The sounds of Rimudo and Takiko's naginata collision were like a rhythm. Hit, dodge, hit, dodge, hit, block, hit, block… Rimudo once tried to attack Takiko. She was able to dodge and Rimudo's naginata landed on her clothing instead, riping a part of it. The next attack was made by Takiko and this time she succeeded hitting Rimudo's naginata hard enough to cause it to fly out of Rimudo's grip. The girls won the naginata match.
"Kyah! Takiko!" Yui cheered.
"Okay, next is martial arts!" the teachers announced.
"Gambatte, Miaka." Takiko said.
"Get them, Tamahome." Suboshi said.
Tamahome and Miaka got ready and took their positions. Punch, dodge, kick, block, punch, block, kick, dodge… Miaka saw her chance and punched Tamahome and at the same time Tamahome kicked her ankle lightly to make her lose her balance. Miaka did lose her balance and fell on her back. After the teacher declared that the boys won, Tamahome helped Miaka up and went back to his friends.
"Nice, Tamahome." Tatara said.
"Aa, thanks." Tamahome said.
After school their principal came to their classroom.
"Student Council elections will be coming. Those who are interested to run for president, vice-president, secretary or treasurer, please see me after school tomorrow." The principal said.
"You are now dismissed." The teacher said.
As the students started packing up, Takiko, Suzuno, Miaka and Yui gathered together.
"Are you guys interested to join the student council?" Suzuno asked.
"Of course, we're not afraid of them." Yui said firmly.
"Let's talk about this later then. Whose house? Keisuke's friends are coming to our house today so…" Miaka asked.
"Let's go to my house then." Takiko said.
So they headed for Takiko's house while Tatara and his friends stayed at school. Upon hearing that Yui and her friends are running the Student Council, Suboshi and his friends also decided to run for the Student Council.
"Okaeri nasai, Lady Takiko." A servant greeted as he opened the gate for them.
They all sat on the sofas and began to chat.
"I saw Rimudo lastnight." Takiko said.
"You did? You never told us you were going out!" Suzuno exclaimed.
"No, no, no! We aren't going out. I was on my way home from your house last night when a car came rushing towards me. Well…he saved me." Takiko said.
"Aww." Miaka said.
"Miaka, it's not 'aww'! You know what he said when I left? He said, 'We're still mad at your group.'" Takiko said.
"Keh, we know that." Yui said.
"Well anyway, we better decide who will be who for the student council." Miaka said.
"Who will be our candidate for president?" Yui asked
"Takiko, I suggest." Suzuno said.
"Eh!" Takiko exclaimed.
"Yeah, that's a great a idea. Takiko, please." Miaka pleaded.
"Eh? O…Okay…" Takiko said.
"Vice-president." Yui said.
"Why don't you go, Miaka?" Suzuno asked.
"Okay…" Miaka replied.
"For secretary, why don't you go, Suzuno?" Yui asked.
"What about you?" Suzuno asked.
"I'll be the treasurer." Yui said.
"Okay, that's cool." Takiko said.
The next day after school, all eight of them went to attend the Student Council candidacy meeting. Rimudo and Takiko were both running for president. Tatara and Miaka were running for vice-president. Tamahome and Suzuno were running for secretary while Suboshi and Yui were running for treasurer.
"Suzuno, do you mind if we change positions? Like you run for vice-president and I'll run for secretary. So I can compete with Tamahome." Miaka said.
"I love your idea, Miaka." Suzuno said.
And so Suzuno and Miaka switched position.
"You have to appeal to the students. That will be tomorrow." The principal said.
