A/N: Well, 205 done. 206 and 207 coming soon of course! but yes I am always looking to improve on my writing as I continue to write TBTR in the coming future, let me know if you prefer this new style with the new change in scene changes?

Also, IF you wouldn't mind once you have finished the chapter, leave a review?

It lets me know what you like about the chapters and if I am improving in the chapters as I increase word count and start ramping up to the future of this story, I've got tons of idea's for this story alone, meaning some will not make it, the perfect way to counter that is a concept fanfic that I am thinking heavily of doing, this could be a fanfic booklet showing YOU guys what kind of Idea's I have in chapter formats.

I assume 206 and 207 (maybe 208 and 209 will be next as well.) will be available directly after this chapter. reason being I want YOU the reader to be able to read multiple chapters and feel like there is progress in them.

Anyways, enjoy this chapter, 208 here I come I suppose? well off to writing.


With Ichika and the girls

Location: Onboard a plane to Osaka

"Is he going to be alright? we shouldn't have just kidnapped him out of his room like that..."

A familiar girl spoke out as her voice lingered with worry as she sat on a private jet alongside her friends and one sleepy Ichika who rested in one of the planes chairs to the side of them. A familiar brown haired woman spoke out amongst the others as she made her concern voiced as she talked to her close friends.

Houki crossed her legs and picked up the cup of tea next to her before taking a sip of it and allowing the cup to rest on her thighs, Lingyin Huang whom sat opposite Houki, watched Ichika who was in one of the small rooms ahead of them, as they were boarded inside of a plane. Seeing her child friend be at ease in his sleep for once, both Houki and Rin could not help but wear smiles on their faces.

Rin used the palm of her left hand to hold her head up as she sat next to the planes windows, ignoring whatever the first childhood friend of Ichika's said, Houki couldn't help but let out a sigh as she knew she wasn't going to get an answer from the Chinese girl who sat opposite her.

'She's totally in her own world once more, typical Rin, ignoring everyone else unless it has something to do with Ichika or her breasts.'

Houki giggled to herself slightly as old memories of Rin consistently complaining about others having bigger breasts than her, floated into Houki's mind, it made the Shinonono amused as she had unintentionally caught the attention of Rin who stared at her with confusion.

Rin raised her eyebrows at Houki Shinonono who was giggling out loud for no apparent reason, Rin wondered whether or not Houki had spotted something wrong with her appearance, Rin couldn't help but be paranoid as she checked herself just in case.

"Hey! What are you even laughing at? you are literally laughing at nothing unless I have something on me!" Rin stared at her friend across from her with a face full of confusion as she waited patiently for an answer from the Shinonono.

Houki stopped giggling to herself after a few moments as she allowed herself to regain her composure, a few seconds later, Houki's usual cold expression came to as Rin let out a sigh of relief as she had realized she got the normal Houki back.

"It's nothing at all... I just remembered a few thing's that's all, anyway when do you think Ichika will wake up? it's certainly been some time since we brought him onto this plane in all..." Houki let out a cough before pulling the cup to her lips and allowing herself to taste the warm liquid as it entered her lips, Rin thought for a few moments before answering.

"Not yet, there would be no point yet, we haven't even arrived there yet so let's try to keep him asleep, for now anyway, honestly depends on how much he has slept before we brought him onto here." Rin placed her hand on her chin as she tried to cast her mind back to the day before until she remembered Ichika mentioning he was going back to his room.

"Hmmm, He need's his sleep, his training alongside him staying up that other night, seem to take a toll yesterday..."

Houki had heard about the events that occurred the other night from Ichika briefly as he brought it up in a meeting which discussed their 'trip' that they were currently heading towards, speaking of the trip they were told they were heading on, Chifuyu had informed them after Ichika had left early, that they were leaving much earlier than they and Ichika were led to believe.

Hence the reason why they were currently on board of a plane that headed towards Osaka, a large port city that almost seemed to come to life at night, Houki Shinonono could recall one or two times when she had been there, although she was much younger at the time.

"Agreed, from the few words about his own independent training, he seems to be pushing himself to the limit, we both can agree that we do not want that from Ichika of all people." Rin crossed her legs and turned her attention back towards the rising sun on the outside of the plane, Houki turned to look outside the plane briefly and also spotted that it was quickly approaching daytime.

"Oh, by the way, I wanted to ask once more as you completely ignored me last time, is this really the right choice? I mean bringing him on a trip that he's unaware that is taking place much earlier than he predicted?" Houki asked with an wry smile on her face, the childhood friend of Ichika couldn't help but worry about the repercussions of their actions, Rin waved it off and giggled slightly.

"I wouldn't worry about it, have you forgot the countless times we have dragged Ichika into situations like these? not just us but others of course as well, Ichika will probably be accepting of it as he's that type of guy." Rin crossed her arms and let out a sigh, a part of her wanted to take a nap before they landed, however she knew she wouldn't be able to fall back asleep if she tried.

"It's not something to be proud of you know, I wonder how he puts up with us sometimes. I guess we will never know truly, even if he tries to tell us how he does." Houki looked over to her side and stared at the sleeping Ichika for a few moments, Houki resisted the urge to sit next to Ichika and comfort the sleeping childhood friend of hers.

Rin narrowed her eyes at the older girl before looking out of the window, seeing the sun rising, Rin wondered about how close they were to landing. Without wanting to go deeper in her thoughts, Houki turned back to Rin before she realized that the smaller girl was not paying the least bit attention to her. Although unbeknownst to the first childhood friend of Ichika's, the Chinese girl was indeed paying attention, her mind was somewhere else entirely.

"This is Ichika we are talking about here, he puts up with more than just us two, heck! have you seen the numerous amounts of ladies with different types of personalities that are queuing to even get a chance to talk to him?"

"Yes, but I mean us, his friends, Charlotte, and the others also included, it amazes me that he doesn't get tired of us sometimes..."

"Probably because of his 'big boob' fetish he's got going."

"HAAH!?"

"...What?"

"You seriously still have not gotten over your big boobs problem haven't you?"

"Oh! so your trying to downplay yours's and the other's big breasts to rub it in my face, are you!?"

"That's not what I was saying! stop assuming such trivial things!"

Houki and Rin continued to clash as they stared at each other with annoyed expressions on their faces, Rin gritted her teeth as she assumed Houki was trying to use her breasts to get an advantage over her, Rin being the competitive spirit she was, the Chinese girl refused to let Houki 'win'.

The sound of very obvious footsteps could be heard from behind, Houki peered over her shoulders for a few moments and spotted a familiar face walking back into the main part of the plane, to her surprise, it was none other than an first year student, Aila Argyros.

Her blue hair stuck out for the Shinonono, Aila also wore a casual attire as the bags under her eyes told both Rin and Houki that Aila was tired, her expression on the other hand was as cold as ever, it had become something that both of her senpai's had gotten used to over time.

Any annoyed emotions the two ladies were feeling was quickly replaced by curiosity as they gestured for their kouhai to take a seat next to them, the atmosphere between the three girls was awkward for a few seconds as none of them, dared to break the sound of silence.

"So,I never got to ask you and the other ladies earlier, how you even brought Ichika in without waking him up? if I remember correctly, didn't he mention once that he was a light sleeper?" Rin placed her hand on her chin as she thought back to a previous conversation that she had with the man she cared for. Houki giggled wryly as she tried to figure out a way to explain it in the best detail.

"I'm not too sure if this truly explains it but, I got one of the others to bring him here, I didn't want to wake him up last night, so I used other means necessary to bring him here." Houki uncrossed her legs as the two girls stared at each other, waiting for the other to respond, it was practically a stale mate. Rin let out a sigh as she knew she shouldn't have been surprised.

" Don't tell me you took him and the mattress he was sleeping on and brought it on here?" a part of Rin, wanted to laugh at what she was told but refrained as she knew she would wake the sleeping Ichika next to them. Houki nodded in response before putting the teacup to her lips and taking another sip.

"I did indeed, whilst you were still asleep, me, Madoka, Sakura, Laura, Aila, Shinobu, brought him here and put him on the bed there, shortly after getting rid of the mattress that was in here before hand of course." Thinking about the situation Houki got herself into beforehand, made her want to giggle slightly.

"How? The fact that you girls did that, I'm honestly lost for words, didn't you get tired?" Rin's expression quickly turned from neutral to a shocked expression as she imagined her friends to get tired halfway through their 'mission'. Houki used her free hand to wipe the liquid left on her upper lip before her eyes met with Rin's own.

"Not really, remember that these days we are much stronger than any ordinary IS users or soldiers, Rin."

Houki giggled at her friend's expression, seeing her like that left a small smile on Houki's face as it reminded her that Rin wasn't always the hyper girl, she always knew her to be. In fact, it made Houki think about what Rin was like when they first met. At that time, they were much weaker back then, but now? Houki believed she and the others would be able to wipe the floor with their past selves with no sweat.

"I know that, seems like load of effort to go through when you can easily wake up Ichika and get him to board this plane the normal way." Rin rolled her eyes as she imagined the girls whom she shared a plane with, struggling to carry Ichika who was lay on a mattress above them.

"Yeah, very good point but with the IS it was not a big problem."

Aila who remained silent as she listened to the two ladies talk, continued to listen to her friends with her attention being captured by the scenario from earlier on, her mind remembered how difficult it was to bring the only male IS user onto a plane, the fact they somehow managed to figure a way onto the plane without waking him up, was enough to make her feel anything but neutral, when thinking about it.

"I thought you and the others would be finishing up that meeting with the teachers? I didn't expect you to be out so early if I'm honest." Rin continued to watch the younger girl as she stared into thin air, opposite the Chinese girl, Aila's eyes briefly met Rin's own as she nodded briefly before brushing a few strands of hair out of her face.

"Indeed."

"Right,well I assume Miss Orimura wanted to end the meeting much earlier, seems much like her, well I guess all we need to worry about is what is in-front of us." Rin continued onto a different topic, which was about the meeting they had yesterday, Houki nodded in response and crossed her arms.

"Indeed."

"Is 'Indeed' all you have in your vocabulary?"

"No."

"Say something else when you communicate."

"I said use other words to communicate with me when you talk."

"I know."

"Why did you say 'what'? If that's the case?"

"Because you seemed annoyed."

"I'm not."

Houki rolled her eyebrows as she listened to Rin and Aila's conversation out of boredom, their back and forward exchanges between each other made Houki wonder why they couldn't get along. Although thinking about it, Houki already knew the two girls were vastly different from each other. In the end, Houki knew that the thought of the two getting along was a dumb thing to consider.

The Shinonono could only hope after all.

'Honestly, listening to them go back and forward becomes annoying after the first few exchanges. Rin needs to tame her fierce attitude and Aila... is Aila.'

"Right, anyway, I assume the others are finishing up? oh and If I remember correctly, the ones that aren't here will be joining us shortly, am I correct?" Houki placed her index finger on her chin as she thought, both Aila and Rin nodded as they confirmed it to Houki.

"Correct, miss Orimura mentioned briefly that she would send the other girls over to Osaka whenever they have been prepared, although I am not too sure why we have been forced to head to Tachibana clan so suddenly. I heard it was something to do with being a representation of the IS."

Houki thought as she said what her theories were, although they were briefed on what they were walking into, the detail wasn't entirely sorted out just yet, but Houki knew all would come clear of course. it was only a matter of time.

"I see, you are not wrong of course, miss Orimura always has been the type of teacher that gives us information we need, not the information we want." Rin summed up Chifuyu Orimura's way of giving info to her students, Aila and Houki could not help but agree more.

"How was Sakura? is she still on call with her mother? if so, she's sure has been on there for a while. I wonder what she even has got to say to her mother..." Houki tried to keep the conversation between her and the other two girls alive, Rin picked up on this and nodded to Aila as a way of getting an answer from the girl who knows more than her and Houki.

"She was fine, just discussing something about a bit of drama happening in her family."

"Oh? do you know more about this 'drama'? maybe we could use it to tease Sakura depending on what type of drama it is." Rin smirked slightly as she was prepared to get information that she could use to rub salt in the wounds, as they say.

"It is not that type of drama, I do not remember exactly, something about a spy."

"That sucks, I was really hoping for some dirt on Sakura, oh well." Rin complained slightly before her eyes met with Houki's own as she took a light sip of her tea.

"That's what you get when you try to find leverage over someone constantly."

"Oh hush."

The Chinese girl rolled her eyes and turned her head so she could look out of the window once more, Houki giggled as she could see the annoyed state of her friend, Aila on the other hand looked completely unamused.


With Sakuya Tachibana

Location: In the Tachibana's headquarters.

Moments after speaking with her daughter, Sakuya sat still and quiet in one of her many luxurious rooms that she owned, reason being because her daughter was now going to be in the area, although she knew she shouldn't be surprised or upset about it, Sakuya had spent the last few days dealing with problems within her clan, the last thing she wanted was her daughter visiting and unintentionally getting in the way, she knew full well her daughter would never try to get in her way with dealing with the countless problems that the clan had.

In fact, Sakuya didn't mind her daughter visiting, however after their talk over screen, she knew that her daughter wasn't in the neighborhood to visit their clan, it was to do with an IS event that was occurring, the matriarch of the Tachibana clan figured that her daughter would be attending the gathering as a representative of both the heir of the Tachibana clan and a representative of the fabled IS of course.

Her relationship with her daughters were complicated yet simple, complicated meaning that the mother of her children, loved and cared for her children to the best of her ability, simple meaning that Sakuya picked up on how different her relationship with her children were, especially from other mothers and their children, the love between the mother and her children, never truly burned bright.

Whether it be because of her and her daughter's decisions.

Her daughter's decisions to become a IS pilot had left many members of the Tachibana clan, feeling betrayed and eventually, the girl with pink hair whose personality burned brightly within the Tachibana clan, was eventually disowned by many members of the Tachibana clan. Sakuya, her mother at the time, did feel betrayed alongside many members of her clan.

However now? after keeping tabs on her wayward daughter, she realized that the IS academy had unlocked who her daughter truly was.

A part of Sakuya Tachibana looked at her daughter in envy as she watched her daughter become significantly stronger as she found someone she truly cared for and loved. The man that Sakuya figured that her daughter loved was none other than Ichika Orimura himself.

The heir of the Orimura clan, Ichika Orimura, reminded her of the man she once loved more than anything, Izanagi Orimura, the childish sheepish boy she once knew as a child, was seemingly dead for many years, however that changed not so long ago, seeing the man she loved so much walk the earth once more, the love that seemingly disappeared from her heart all those years ago, came back quickly.

"This is getting me nowhere..."

Sakuya considered Izanagi Orimura to be what she would call a 'catalyst', a man that hid his intensively powerful aura behind his smile, a man that could pull all of the strings behind the scenes, the only man that could steal the hearts of many other ladies and his wives would be okay with it. Although she remembered Izanagi for his handsomeness, the kindhearted spirit that everyone adored so much and the countless memories he created with her, was something she looked back on, with a warm smile plastered across her face.

The first time Sakuya Tachibana saw Ichika Orimura, she saw the many qualities that Izanagi Orimura had, in his son.

"Are you alright miss?"

Sakuya Tachibana looked up from what she was doing and noticed one of her many servants asking her a question, with a worried tone lacing in her voice, that at the least she could still pick up on. Sakuya made direct eye contact for a few moments before nodding.

"I am alright, finishing this final piece of paper work for those idiots outside of our clan that are requesting our help..."

"I understand, Mrs. Tachibana, sorry for intruding into your work time."

"It's fine, I was in a daze anyway, I needed to be broke out of my thoughts otherwise I would not be doing this work right now..." Sakuya tapped her ballpoint black pen on the desk as she tried to think what she was going to write next onto the letter.

"I understand miss Tachibana, if you need our help with anything, please request us immediately as you usually do, after all we are here to tend to your needs and the other's too." The servant of the Tachibana clan bowed as she showed her respect towards the matriarch of the Tachibana clan, Sakuya eyed the letter in-front of her which asked for her clan's services.

"I may need you to get my other daughter, Sayuri soon as I need to discuss a few things with my daughter, before I call it a night." the sick matriarch notified her servants of her request beforehand, the several attendants that stood by the door, all bowed at once as they understood their master's request.

"Understood miss Tachibana, just let me know when you want me to go collect your daughter." One of the servants responded to the matriarch before resuming her stance as she stood quietly near the door, Sakuya nodded in response before her mind began running into other thoughts other than her work.

Continuously tapping her pen on the desk, Sakuya felt the strange desire to open the drawer at her desk where she kept a few private items that she liked to look through, these said 'items' were precious old photos of the likes of her friends when they were still younger, a small smile appeared on her face as she let the pen go and reached for the handle with her right hand and pulled the drawer out slightly.

Looking to her right, Sakuya moved her hand into drawer and picked up the silver envelope which held the precious photo's she had gotten all those years ago, there was one specific photo she wanted to look at and it included a group photo with her friends and someone who she also cared about, Izanagi Orimura.

Placing the envelope on the desk and closing the drawer, the sick matriarch opened the envelope and pulled out the various different pictures that lay inside it, somewhere more recent than others and the photo's at the bottom of the small pile were some of the oldest ones she owned.

'It's been a long time since I got to look at some of these, it almost feels like a lifetime ago since these happened.'

Sakuya almost wanted to let out a chuckle as she almost felt the feeling to look onto the past, her eyes watched as she tried to find the right photo she was looking for, she knew for sure that the photo she was looking for was at the bottom. Although Sakuya skipped various different photo's which showed the evolution of her own clan and several photos of herself when she was younger

placing any photo's that she deemed to be useless down on the desk, the sick matriarch began to notice that she was coming towards the last few photo's as she could spot a glimpse of the one photo she had been looking for.

That photo? well was a picture of herself, Lee Jin, Tsukiko, Oyuki Ayaka and Izanagi.

The former heir now patriarch Izanagi Orimura, looked to be about thirteen years old as the war diva's at the time were able to over tower him in size, however, Izanagi Orimura had his hands wrapped around Lee Jin's and Tsukiko's waists in the photo as Sakuya, Oyuki and Ayaka stood at the sides with small smiles on their faces.

Even till this day, Sakuya could see the overflowing power that resonated in the young teenager in the photo, heck Sakuya noticed that the photo did pretty well to cover most of it, however the older woman could see the vibrant life that oozed out of Izanagi Orimura in the picture.

A small smile appeared on her face as she remembered the last time she saw Izanagi, which was during his son's battle with his sister's, although Sakuya and the others believed he had been dead for quite some time, when she was able to lay eyes on the patriarch, he still oozed with life as usual.

No one can ever change or takeaway how much Sakuya loved the patriarch of the Orimura clan.

Not even the man who she married could even hold a candle to what her love for Izanagi Orimura was to her, for her and the other war diva's, Izanagi Orimura was something else entirely.

"I need to speak to mother immediately."

Sakuya averted her eyes from the picture she held in her hands and towards the doorway where she heard her wayward daughter, the sick matriarch knew her daughter Sayuri Tachibana, was coming to talk to her, Sakuya let out a sigh as she heard her daughters ever growing rudeness towards her servants once more.

*BAAAAAM!*

The door closing loudly behind her, the daughter of the matriarch made direct contact with her mother.

"Mother! I request your assistance."

A pink haired girl that largely resembled Sakura Tachibana but with shorter hair and a cold expression plastered across her face, the girl at hand resembled Sakura because it was her sister, Sayuri Tachibana, the little sister to Sakura. On the side of Sayuri Tachibana was one of her many well created swords that she had holstered as she walked closer and closer towards her mother's desk.

Sakuya wondered about the myriad of things her daughter wanted this time?

Sakuya could only wonder for now after all, she placed the picture in her hand flipped over so her daughter would not see what she was looking at, Sakuya's expression changed quickly as her daughter's presences forced her to be more serious than usual.

"Sayuri? we can discuss what you need me for right now."

Sakuya gestured for her daughter to come closer towards her lavish desk, as the sick matriarch prepared her daughter to inform her of anything occurring within her clan. The matriarch once again pushed any remising feelings to the side for once.

"Mother, urgent news. Some of the members of our clan are in uproar due to a rumour going around that we are going to be attacked very soon!" Sayuri's landed on her mother as she smiled vividly, gripping the handle of her wheelchair the daughter of the matriarch waited on her mother to almost issue a reason to protect her clan at all costs.

"Calm down, this is most likely the cause of someone within our clan trying to cause us problems, so we look bad." Sakuya stopped her daughter from continuing what she was going to say and placed her hand on her chin as she thought.

"But Mother! This is most likely the cas-"

"I will handle this at once, do we know who started this ridiculous rumor? if there was any chance of us being attacked, I would know about it by now." Sakuya stood up and walked around her desk as she prepared herself to deal with the situation at hand.

"No, All we know so far is that several members of our clan are deeply disturbed and worried because of this."

"I see, well Sayuri follow me, I will call a meeting at once to settle this ridiculous rumor, servants, be on standby as I may have to call for your aid." Sakuya rubbed her tired eyes before she prepared herself physically and mentally to deal with this new situation.

The servants nodded and bowed at once before pushing the door in-front of the matriarch and her daughter, wide open and as the two walked out of the matriarch's own private office room. The night continued as the clan known as Tachibana were currently in uproar due to someone causing commotion.

Sakuya, the matriarch, could only wonder how she could deal with this.


With Charlotte's group

Location: Onboard a plane to France

Unlike Ichika Orimura and the other ladies that were on their way towards Osaka, Charlotte, Tatenashi, Kanzashi, Cecilia, Marika and Emelia were on their way to Charlotte's home country, that country was none other than France of course. Currently, Charlotte, Tatenashi and Cecilia were all seated in comfy seats on board of the plane. The three ladies had small smiles on their faces as they relaxed with a few cups of coffee next to their sides, the other three ladies were at the opposite end of their private in another room, that was due to the three younger ladies having to stay back for a meeting which Maya Yamada had requested the ladies to partake in.

The three ladies wore casual attires during the plane ride as they knew they were going to land soon, which made the idea of wearing there IS uniforms redundant. The reason why they were going to France in the first place was due to a very important event coming up, although the atmosphere between all of the girls was silence as they secretly wished for Ichika and the others to join them, but they understood why they couldn't.

That 'said' IS event was coming up in the next few days, meaning that Charlotte and the others had a few days before they had to represent for the IS academy. Charlotte thought about visiting her father and her family, the last time she had seen her family was when she was with Ichika, her family at the time had taken a liking to the man she loved, they knew that Charlotte was in love with the only IS male student.

'Why does there have to be two events happening, for all I know Ichika is having fun with the other girls, that pervert.'

Charlotte let out a loud sigh before she reached out in-front of her and grabbed her steaming cup of coffee, Tatenashi and Cecilia picked up on Charlotte's sigh and stared at the French girl as they wondered what she was thinking, Cecilia had no idea where as Tatenashi could tell after a few moments as she caught the 'glimpse' in Charlotte's eyes.

"I see your thinking about a certain someone, could that be Ichika-kun perhaps?"

"Yes and no, I hope the other girls don't use this 'separation' as an opportunity to get closer to him."

"I never thought of that, can we turn around this plane and rescue Ichika-san?"

"Unfortunately, we cannot, we were told by miss Orimura and miss Yamada that we had to split up and attend these separate IS events, I never thought that me and Ichika would be on separate teams though."The expression on Charlotte's face told Cecilia and Tatenashi that the blonde haired girl was not too happy about being put into separate groups, Tatenashi on the other hand did not mind.

"I don't see why you guys are complaining too much, maybe all of this time away from Ichika-kun can be of use to you as you can get your thoughts straight before we return back to the academy after all this blows over." Tatenashi crossed her legs as she smirked slightly, she was trying to get the other two girls to look on the brighter side after all.

"Wow Tatenashi-san, you really like to be optimistic about this situation, don't you?" Cecilia's mouth opened as she was slightly shocked by Tatenashi Sarashiki's words, after a few moments, the British woman quickly closed her mouth and shook her head.

"I'm taking it like a free holiday, you wouldn't believe the amount of work I have had to do in these last few weeks, even thinking about it is tiring and what I said doesn't even begin to cover the work I've done..." After a few moments of denying an incoming yawn, Tatenashi's mouth opened wide as she let out a tiring yawn.

"I see your tired Tatenashi, say how much sleep did you even get last night? I assume not much due to that work you were talking about." Charlotte giggled awkwardly as she felt the contagious yawn that Tatenashi let out moments ago, affect the herself.

"Yes, you are right, I had a few papers to prepare before I left for this adventure we are on, hopefully when we land, we do not have to deal with anything unnecessary as I just want to relax right now. If something gets in my way, well I will not be happy." Tatenashi sounded unlike herself, although Charlotte and Cecilia jotted it down to be the blue haired girl's tiredness.

Heck the French girl and the British girl could see the bags under her eyes, that in itself told the two teenagers that Tatenashi wasn't to be messed with today, the aura that grew around her didn't help but make both Charlotte and Cecilia feel slightly nervous.

"Well it should be good timing to take a nap sooner Tatenashi-san as it's still becoming morning, perhaps rest your tired body until we wake you up in the meantime?" Cecilia smiled wryly as she gestured for the older out of the three to rest rather than stay up and grow even more tired. Charlotte leaned on the handle of her seat and nodded as she agreed with Cecilia.

"You two really want me to rest up and get out of this bad mood I am in, eh? well I cannot blame you as I particularly do not like being like this myself. It's rather annoying to feel drained." Tatenashi laughed it off as she stared outside into the sky which began to show the sun rising.

Tatenashi sat next to the planes window which showed the outside, whilst Charlotte sat opposite her and could see the outside properly also, Cecilia on the other hand, sat on Tatenashi's side and was the furthest one from the window. The three had been on the private plane for what felt like years now, although it had been a few hours since they had boarded.

Some of the lights within the plane was switched off due to the three ladies not being used to the lights being on near them, it was only a few hours ago when they slept during their flights, however Tatenashi remained awake during that period and was feeling the effects of staying awake past her usual time.

"We just know how you feel Tatenashi, Ichika always told me when we were roommates that I should get plenty of sleep so I can function the best, before that I used to sleep a lot less... you will be amazed to notice the difference between a well-rested version of yourself is from the version that is lacking sleep."

"Good point, Ichika-kun had always been the one to look after himself to the best of his ability whether it was something as simple as sleep, although as of late, that has been long gone out of the window with Ichika-kun, I noticed he looks fatigued sometimes..."

"Ichika has been more tired? Oh yeah, I have to agree with you on that, probably because he's a much hard worker now that he forgets to rest?" Charlotte shrugged her shoulders as she asked the other two ladies. Cecilia thought about it whilst Tatenashi already had a response to Charlotte's comment.

"No, I believe there's something more to this of course, I can tell when Ichika-kun's physically exhausted but since we all returned to the academy. It's a different type of exhausted, maybe one of us girls jumped on his bones or something?"

Tatenashi let out a giggle as she said that, the blue haired girl didn't mean what she said but it certainly got a reaction out of Charlotte and Cecilia, the two ladies went completely red as they didn't want to believe such things, unbeknownst to Charlotte and Tatenashi, Cecilia had already 'jumped on his bones' a while ago and couldn't help but be red for different reasons ago.

"Oh yeah, Houki said had s-s-sex with Ichika as well, maybe that's why Tatenashi…" the aura surrounding Charlotte turned Yandere like as she stared outside the window with an empty gaze. A question mark appeared above Tatenashi's head as her mind began to remember what Charlotte was talking about.

"Eh?"

"Remember when Houki-san admitted it to us? that is what Charlotte-san is talking about here..." Cecilia's face was a cherry red colour as the British girl looked uncomfortable about the things she was talking about.

"I thought she was joking about that! I was only playing into it to go along with the joke..." Tatenashi wanted to face palm, she couldn't believe she missed the obvious answer that was in-front of her for so long.

"No, they did it..."

"I wonder what it was like. I'm sure it was intense between the two, after all they are childhood friends after all."

Charlotte and Cecilia could not help but be surprised to notice the tone of voice that Tatenashi spoke out in, it was like the blue haired girl wasn't annoyed at all at her findings, it was something that Charlotte found to be really hard to not be annoyed at, especially considering the French girl loved Ichika so much.

Cecilia on the other hand, bit her lip as she refrained from talking about her and Ichika's own experiences that they went through.

"You're a weird one, how can you not feel slightly disappointed by Ichika's first time being taken by Houki?" Charlotte stared at Tatenashi with a confused expression plastered across her face, Cecilia nodded and cross her legs as she began to become eager to find out.

"Well let's not beat around the bush here ladies, I'm sure we have all imagined our first times with Ichika haven't we?"

"Y-yes?"

"W-we H-have Tatenashi-san."

The faces that Charlotte and Cecilia Alcott made was enough to Tell Tatenashi that they had thought about it more than she was originally led to believe, it made the blue haired girl smile sultry as she imagined what they could have thought about.

"I see now, by the looks of it, you two have done more than just imagine it, I'm sure you two in reality are more perverted than Ichika with your lewd thoughts." Tatenashi grinned like a Cheshire cat as she realised that she had them right where she wanted them.

"T-Tatenashi-san!?"

"I-I-I do not believe t-that's appropriate!"

"Oh please, I'm sure Ichika-kun's lewd thoughts are much worse. I imagine he has imagined that he takes all of us at once." Tatenashi's mind couldn't help wondering into such lewd thoughts as she gave Charlotte and Cecilia an idea of what she meant.

'Surely Ichika wouldn't think about such lewd thoughts! right! right?'

Charlotte couldn't help but question herself in her own mind as she so desperately wanted to grab Ichika Orimura by the collar and find out what thoughts he has about her and the other girls. Her mind on the other hand, thought about the different lewd thoughts that Ichika could possibly think about.

Surprisingly out of the three, Cecilia Alcott stayed quiet as she also imagined it.

Charlotte clutched the hems of her skirt as she tried to avoid the ever growing temptation to imagine what it would look like if Ichika took them all at once, it wasn't something Charlotte was against but the young French maiden did not want to have such thoughts going through her head.

For once, Charlotte put herself in the perverted mind of Ichika Orimura.

"AHMMMM!"

The feeling of Ichika Orimura groping the soft flesh, otherwise known as Charlotte Dunois's ass as he frenched kissed another girl that she all but too familiar with, Charlotte enjoyed the feeling of Ichika's hands slowly moving around her body as he caressed her with all the care in the world, although It didn't stop Charlotte from biting her lip as she wanted to feel loved more by Ichika. On the other hand, the young man used his left hand to keep himself up right whilst he dealt with the busty bomb shells, otherwise known as Charlotte Dunois, Iris Calling and Maya Yamada.

The green haired woman, known to most as Maya Yamada, pushed her own lips against Ichika Orimura's own as she want their kisses to go deeper and deeper as Ichika used his free hand to explore the beautiful body of Charlotte Dunois, before long, Ichika removed himself from the steamy wet kisses of Maya Yamada before moving to focus on a certain blonde girl who straddled the Orimura on the bed.

Placing his own lips onto Charlotte's, he enjoyed himself as he explored every corner of her mouth, their tongues battling for dominance as they continuously sucked the life out of each other, after a few moments of neglecting the other ladies, Ichika pushed himself back so he could have his back towards the wall, so he can free his left hand and 'take care of the others'.

"Ichika..."

"Orimura-kun..."

"Ichika..."

"Ichika..."

Each of the ladies retrospectively crawled up to him as he had moved from his original position, their eyes showed nothing but love in their eyes as they almost begged Ichika to be dominated, the young lad smirked as he leaned into kiss none other than one of his teachers, Iris calling, her muffled moans was like music to Ichika Orimura's ears as he could tell that the teacher began to enjoy their making out, thoroughly.

Ichika's right hand reached out to grab the magnificent chest of Maya Yamada as she climbed on top of him, the cheeks on her face was red as Ichika fondled her breasts like it was his lifeline, the green haired teacher found it hard to stop her moans coming as she began to feel pleasure that she didn't know about before this 'encounter'.

The green haired teacher couldn't help but grind against her own students throbbing member as she felt it underneath her.

"hmmmm!"

Drool began to fall out of Iris's mouth as she allowed Ichika's tongue in her mouth properly, allowing him full access to her mouth and body, her purple lingerie, the only thing stopping the horny teenager from taking all of the ladies that presented their selves.

Charlotte wore light red lingerie that held her breasts back from Ichika's view, his hands slithered up her back as she continued to kiss the Orimura's neck, with one hand, Ichika unclipped the hook of her bra which held the breasts back from Ichika's vision. After a few moments of struggling and attempting to take the difficult bra off, the red bra began to slip off until Ichika could grab her soft mounds in the palm of his hand.

Breaking their make out session off, Ichika used his free right hand to grab Maya Yamada by the throat before he slammed his lips onto Maya instead of Iris, however, Iris Calling wore a jealous look as she realised she was being left out.

"HMMMMMMMMM!"

"Ah! hmmm.."

"Hmph!"

Ichika's wet and warm tongue explored in the inside of Maya's mouth as she sank her nails into the young man's back. Although Iris was left out, Ichika's right hand soon began to wander down the forbidden territory that lingered below Iris's waist, her cheeks red and her eyes showing nothing but love in them, the teacher bit down on her lip as she felt Ichika's hands slip under her panties and as he stroked her soaking wet pussy.

Her muffled moans told Ichika she was clearly enjoying the 'rough treatment' he gave Maya, Ichika spotted the French girl's expression out of the corner of her eye, Charlotte looked unsatisfied as Ichika continued to fondle the soft mounds that Charlotte had going for her, Ichika's hand let go and draped all the way down her stomach before his hands wandered down to her nether regions.

"Ahhhhmmmmm!"

"Charlotte?"

Charlotte bit her lip as she felt Ichika's fingers stab inside of her, although pure ecstasy reigned over her after a few moments of adjusting to Ichika's being in her. Eyes watering, Charlotte stuck out her tongue in response, drool threatening to fall, Charlotte couldn't help but want more as they continued to go deeper into their primal desires.

"Charlotte!"

"Eh?!"

"Finally! you have been zoned out for a few minutes now! Jeez, you pervert, and you still call Ichika-kun the perverted one? you should really look in the mirror you know." Tatenashi let out a sigh as she teased her friend for having perverted thoughts, what the blue haired girl didn't know was that Charlotte had been daydreaming about it.

'OH MY GOD! Am I really the perverted one!? I cannot believe I had such perverted fantasies...'

Charlotte blushed heavily as she clutched the hems of her skirt once more, refusing to make eye contact with Cecilia Alcott and Tatenashi Sarashiki, the French maiden did not want to push their discussion any further to do with their fantasies. Charlotte worried for her mind to wonder to lewder places than the one she had previously explored a few moments ago.

"L-l-let's not t-t-talk about it any l-longer!"

Charlotte continued to stare down at the ground as she wanted to hide the blush she wore because of her dirty thoughts, Tatenashi grinned like a Cheshire cat as she picked up on the embarrassment lingering in her voice. Cecilia Alcott on the other hand, listened keenly as she imagined her own perverted fantasies that had recently become true.

Charlotte could only pray for her perverted mind to be cleansed and for the plane to land already.

After all, their time together, was far from over...


With Ichika Orimura and the girls

Location: Onboard a plane to Osaka

Twenty minutes away from Osaka

Tiredness...

Tiredness was pretty much the only thing Ichika Orimura could feel as he slept peacefully on his childhood friends' shoulder, his body ached for rest the previous day, his eyes had carried bags which was noticeable to the girls he had grown so close to. because of this, the girls had grown wary of his sleeping schedule, however what they did not know was that it was only for that day, which was yesterday. The teenager rested on the shoulder of Houki Shinonono as he used her as a pillow of some sort. Houki did not seem to mind, the girl looked as if she had welcomed it by now.

Houki had her left arm wrapped around Ichika as she held his waist as she held him gently, the peaceful on expression on his face was something Houki found really hard to look away from, her eyes every now and then would land onto her childhood friend as he rested in her arms.

Thinking about it previously had made the Shinonono gush, but now? having the man she loved so much in her arms? made it all the better.

It left a consistent smile on her face that was unable to go away, no matter how much she had wanted it to, just in case the other ladies were to wake up and see her being so close to the only male student. Although, truth be told, Houki didn't care too much what the other's thought if they woke up and saw the two of them like this, the girl was simply happy to be of use for Ichika.

Houki knew how much of a hard worker Ichika was, so when yesterday she picked up on the man she cared for so dearly, struggling from a lack of sleep, she naturally grew more concerned as the day grew, she was just happy that Ichika was able to rest before they had to attend the event, which was only a few days away from them.

A gentle yet warm smile plastered across her face, Houki tilted her head until her own head rested on Ichika's as the two used each other for comfort, the other girls on board of the private plane had long been asleep since Houki had moved seats.

"Oh Ichika, what would you do without me and the others..."

"Hmmm..."

"Hold on a minute... Ichika are you awake?"

"…Barely."

Houki's expression quickly changed as she became surprised to hear Ichika respond back to her, it was surprising to her because she hadn't noticed her friend wake up before she spoke the words that came to her mind.

"You know, you can fall back asleep, I think we still have another thirty minutes or so until we arrive at Osaka."

"Hmmm, maybe, so we are on our way to Osaka? That's odd, I don't remember getting on board of this... plane?"

"That's because me and the other's brought you here while you were resting, you were too deep in your sleep, so I think the other's found other means to bring you in here."

"Hmm, I see, it appears that we have a busy few day ahead of us..." Ichika Orimura's eyes opened slightly as he took in the surroundings of everything around him.

"Indeed Ichika, although are you sure you will be fine? I cannot help but worry about you, you know." Houki's voice was laced with concern as she gently stroked the masculine back of Ichika as he continued to feel the throes of waking up.

"I will be fine Houki, that I can promise you, besides I have you and the other's, right?" Ichika replied hoarsely as he got used to be awake once more, although he hadn't been awake for that long, Ichika found himself feeling much better than yesterday.

"Of course, you do Ichika, I'm sure the others will tell you the same." Houki moved her head to a position where she could plant a small kiss on Ichika's forehead, the boy seemed to thoroughly enjoy the company of Houki Shinonono as he began to be himself once more.

"I'm glad to hear it, what time is it? I hit bed pretty early yesterday, so I assume it's early in the morning?" Ichika made a guess on what time it would be, Houki nodded in response as she made a warm smile to her childhood friend.

"Correct, it's only seven in the morning currently, the others are taking a nap as we get closer to Osaka, just in case you are wondering..." Houki explained before turning her head to check up on the other girls, Ichika lifted his own head up from Houki's shoulder and also noticed the several girls asleep.

"I see, well we have a few things to deal with ahead of us, so I cannot blame the other's for resting beforehand." Ichika chuckled as he sat up straight and let out a tired yawn, his eyes watering from the yawn a few moments later.

Houki continued to watch Ichika with a smile on her face as she realized she got to see a side of Ichika that was mostly unknown to most people. Ichika on the other hand began to feel stiff as his body hadn't truly adjusted to being awake, quite yet. Ichika felt his body clearly showing the results of putting strain on it by moving so suddenly, his limbs working with him slowly, as he got used to being awake.

"I agree, although I had to move from my seat over there, due to being clung to whilst trying to sleep..."

"So, you thought to move next to me? where I slept on your shoulder instead?" Ichika Orimura wore an amused expression as he stared into the eyes of Houki, the brown haired girl blushed lightly before her hands started fidgeting slightly.

"Yes, but it's so much different with you..."

"I know, I was only teasing you Houki, try not to think too much into what I say unless it's something serious." Ichika made an amused smile before his hand wandered to the top of her head as he gave her a gentle head pat.

"So, you two are flirting once more huh? I cannot accept this again."

"Eh!?"

"Huh?!"

Ichika heard the voice of Lingyin Huang, his second childhood friend and someone who he cared for deeply, call out to him, her voice unlike her usual tone, instead it was replaced with an empty tone and hollow eyes as she stared at Ichika specifically with yandere like eyes. Houki's eyes widened as she also turned to Rin who stared at them with their head tilted as her eyes told Houki that she was not happy with the closeness between the two.

After a few moments of being surprised, Ichika let out a sigh as it became obvious why the Chinese girl was giving them such a look, it made Ichika want to give her a hug and show his appreciation for her, he noticed during the meeting how each girl looked at him, it made him happy to think about it when looking back on it retrospectively.

"Where's my knife? I need to teach you a lesson, Ichika..."

"Relax Rin, I would have said something similar to you if you were sitting next to me!" Ichika tried come up with any reasons to calm Rin down as she continued to stare at him with lifeless eyes.

"Oh? so know you are saying you would say the same thing if I was in her place? My oh my Ichika, it's almost like you are asking for a death wish."

"Your misunderstanding, I meant I would say something similar because I care about you, not because I see you and Houki being the same, you two have your own perks about you so you do not have to worry about that..." Ichika sat up and averted eye contact as the two ladies took a few moments to realise what Ichika was saying.

"W-W-What a-are you saying?! A-are you trying to smooth talk y-your way out of this!?"

"Rin quiet down! you don't want to wake the other's up, after all they are still resting before we arrive at Osaka..." Houki hushed the Chinese girl as she reminded her of their sleeping friends next to them, those said ladies were resting due to the free time they have.

Unlike Houki, and the newly awoken Rin and Ichika, Sakura Tachibana, Aila Argyros, Madoka Orimura and Laura Bodewig, remained unconscious as the three quietened the atmosphere for the rest to continue to sleep. A small smile appeared on Ichika's face as he chuckled to himself, avoiding eye contact with the other two, a small appreciation for the girls around him, nestled in his heart.

Houki and Rin picked up on Ichika's weird actions as they began to stare at him with a puzzled expression.

"Right, I am sorry. I forgot that they were sleeping..." Rin turned towards the window as she felt bad for her overreaction, Ichika felt slightly relieved to know that Rin was able to recognise that she was wrong.

"I wouldn't worry about it, luckily we got away without waking them up before we arrived."

Ichika chuckled wryly as Houki Shinonono crossed her arms under her breasts, making her cleavage looking more perky than usual.

"I wouldn't worry about them waking up, they are heavy sleepers so we will have to shake them to wake them up." Houki let out a sigh and used her left hand to wipe the stress out of her face, not wanting to deal with Rin's shenanigans, the brown haired girl felt thankful for her attitude calming down.

[Ladies and Gentlemen, please fasten your seatbelts as we prepare to land on the runway, in Osaka in the next ten minutes, I repeat, please fasten your seatbelts as we prepare to land on the runway.]

Houki's, Rin's and Ichika's attention were distracted by the voice speaking over in the speakers behind them in the ceiling of the plane, after a few moments of listening in and acknowledging that they were soon going to land in the infamous city of Osaka, Ichika's eyes landed on his two childhood friends as they also did the same to him.

Their glances at each other told him that they the same idea.

The two ladies wore a smirk as they eyed their other friends with a grin threatening to break on their face, rather than a smirk which they wore currently. Ichika shook his head as he watched the two ladies stand up and walk over to the other ladies.

Thus, beginning their reign of terror.
