Chapter 7, Riding motorcycles in the hallways is forbidden!. Child caring demands both parents. Fenrir is a cool operation name.

Maki Harukawa was for a lack of a term. Blunt. She disliked children. But children seemed to love her. She wasn't afraid of telling children she didn't like them. But the children seemed to ignore her or don't put value in her words. Children simply loved her.

She couldn't understand why. She didn't have a face that kids would find adorable or trusty. She was serious. And she was okay with that.

Children were weird to her.

So while she grew up in an orphanage taking care of children, she found out a solace in the internet through an app in her cellphone that allowed her to chat with people. She really erased the majority of them. There was one person alone who she couldn't do but keep in her contacts, and that was the only reason she never erased the app.

MH: Children are weird. I don't really like them.
!"#$%&: Well, they are children. Why did you choose to care for them?
MH: Who said I chose? I just ended up caring for them as we all are in the same orphanage.
!"#$%&: Well… they say children see the best in ourselves. If children just come to you, surely they see you are much better than you believe,
MH: What do you know? You don't care for sixteen children.
!"#$%&: Maybe not. But if those sixteen children love you is because they see something you are not seeing. I believe you are better than you believe yourself to be.

She actually expected him to stop talking with her. She could be negative and serious. Way too serious. Yet she never stopped messaging her…

Moreover, she knew he was meant to be hers.

What other reason could there be for someone like him to exist? Only the children loved her. No one else seemed to see what the children could see, and she believed she would end up alone. Taking care of children alone, without any real partner she could spend her life with.

She may not look like it. But she was a big romantic in her heart. She could love deeply and it seemed the children knew how deep her love really was, that's why they didn't fear her even when she never smiled when next to them. Children really could see things no one else could.

Yet. Someone who had never seen her had been able to see something only children's saw.

How deep her love was, and how much love she had inside of her. However, her serious expression made her look intimidating. Moreover, she also had red eyes that looked eerie in the eyes of adults and people her own age. Many orphans were adopted in her care. Nevertheless, she never got to be adopted.

At nights when no one was seeing her, she would cry until she fell asleep. However, he had always been there…

MH: Today someone got adopted.
!"#$%&: I am sorry about that…
MH: Why? Is not like is bad they go to a family.
!"#$%&: You will be alone though…
MH: Who says I am lonely? I am better without that child.
!"#$%&: Is okay to be sad you know? You don't need to tell me you aren't sad. I promise I will not tell anyone else.
MH: …Do you though? How can I trust you?
!"#$%&: I can tell you when I am feeling sad too.
MH: Do you feel sad right now?
!"#$%&: I…I don't feel sad when I am chatting with my friends. When I see a message arriving it makes me smile.
MH: Even if they are mine? I tend to tell you depressive or negative stuff.
!"#$%&: Doesn't mean it makes me less happy. Just knowing from you makes me happy.
MH: I am sad Kohaku is gone.
!"#$%&: I know… What did you think of him?
MH: He laughed funnily. And he would trip with his laces, so I had to tie his shoes for him. He would thank me and get running. Then his laces would get undone. It was never ending really… but he never stopped running off.
!"#$%&: Sounds like you actually had fun tying his shoes.
MH: Of course not. It was a problem… he didn't know how to tie his shoelaces… but it was my problem…
!"#$%&: You know. If you were to cry, I wouldn't know it. But I believe is okay to cry. Especially when you feel sad.

And she did just that. Cry and keep chatting with him about how she felt, and the memories she had of the children who were adopted. And even though she was crying at the fact she wasn't adopted and that she was getting to be alone. She was happy knowing someone understood her.

Therefore, she promised something to herself.

Even though her expression was serious all the time. She would smile for him.
Even though she might not be as pretty as other girls might, she would love him with all her heart.
And no matter what, she would be sure to always stay by his side faithfully showing how deep her love could run.

She decided to follow the advice of her friend to enter school. That way she would make friends, and surely she wouldn't feel so alone. So when someone anonymously told her who the username of !"#$%& belonged to she just needed to find him. She went to the roof to put her thoughts in order. She couldn't believe her luck.

But she also couldn't believe how adorable he looked. Makoto Naegi was cute. There was no other way to put it. When she saw him in the roof being hugged by Miu Iruma though, she knew she wanted to keep him away of her. Even more when she said they would marry. Makoto Naegi belonged to her. They were best friends! They could take care of children together in a huge house spending their time in a happily married life.

Now if only she knew how to find him again.

She was walking through the hallways of the school when she heard the reverberation of a motorcycle running.

"Riding in motorcycles in hallways is forbidden Mondo!"

She knew that voice. It was the kid who declared himself the student council to enforce rules. She just laughed it off. Not that anyone would listen to him. In a school full of people with so many odd talents you couldn't hope to keep things normal.

"Aaaaaaaah!"

That scream. She had heard that voice not too long ago… Makoto Naegi!

She looked at the direction of the scream and indeed she saw Naegi and another boy in a motorcycle accelerating off in the hallway.

"Owada! Stop right now!"

The motorcycle went into a full stop. Makoto flew off from it as he wasn't holding Owada tightly. She ran forward hoping to catch Naegi. But her view was obscured by a maid who was standing in front of her.

Maki went a step back to take into account the appearance of the maid. She was pretty, and she had something prettier in her chest. Makoto Naegi who she had caught in the air.

"Master, I believe I told you not to ride with Mondo." She smiled as she looked at the flushed face of Naegi.

Maki couldn't avoid thinking she wanted to be the one holding Naegi and see his embarrassed face so close to hers.

"I am sorry Tojo…and you don't need to call me master." Said maid sighed before hugging Naegi tighter.

"We are friends, don't friend call each other by their first name Makoto?" The maid was smiling inside. She was using the same logic of Naegi to be closer to him.

The result was a red-faced Makoto Naegi trying to answer. Maki approached them with a soft-sounding cough. Making both of them look at her.

"Excuse me. Kirumi Tojo right? The ultimate maid?" Said girl nodded at her name and title.

"The headmaster told me he needed to speak with you privately. Something about moving your quarters?" Kirumi Tojo face beamed in happiness as she clapped her hands.

"The principal is seeing the light! He must have approved my solicitude to let me move with Makoto!" The mentioned one let out an undignified "what?!" of confusion as the girl hugged him and left promising to come back fast.

There was a part of the talent of Maki Harukawa people didn't understand. She was good with children yes. But she also was an expert in making people go away. One needed to be able to make children do something else. And what she had essentially done was make her leave Makoto Naegi alone in her excitement. The same way children dropped their toys when hearing there were cookies in the kitchen.

She took his hand without missing a beat and took to run somewhere else.

"Ah, where are we going." Naegi felt his face getting red at the contact with the soft hand of the girl whose name he didn't know. He remembered her from the scene of the roof not too long ago. That had been before the robots dropped him with Mondo and the boys, and Mondo offered to give him a ride to solidify their friendship.

Naegi took into the appearance of the girl. Red eyes, long brown hair in pigtails and her bangs covered her eyebrows as her hair that wasn't in the pigtails framed her face. The girl face looked serious. Yet Naegi could feel warmness from her.

"Don't worry Makoto." She spoke those words so simply, yet Naegi felt that to hear those words meant much more than he could begin to understand.

A couple of things were happening as the ultimate lucky student and the ultimate child caregiver moved away. Mondo was being scolded by Ishiyama and Kirumi Tojo was in disbelief when she found out that the headmaster had not read her solicitude to move with Makoto Naegi.

She had been fooled!

Maki Harukawa had taken Naegi to a far corner of the library. The library had many spaces full of darkness and not fit for reading, but they were perfect to just relax and drop in a beanbag. She had just let herself fall in one next to Naegi who imitated her when she finally let go of his hand.

In the dark space with little light, Maki Harukawa looked more threatening than ever with her red eyes and serious expression focused on Makoto Naegi.

Threatening for anyone who didn't see her feelings.

Naegi just let himself enjoy the peace and quiet of the library. After all that had happened today, he could use the silent time. Naegi looked at the girl and spoke.

"I am Makoto Naegi." He spoke with a smile. The girl in front of him nodded.

"Maki Harukawa. We met at the roof." She looked at him with the same expression. While some may feel threatened by the girl serious look Naegi actually felt at ease. Call him crazy, but he could feel the girl was nervous too.

And she really was. Maki was looking at Naegi with a mix of uneasiness at not knowing what to do. So she decided to just do what she promised herself and approached Naegi, bringing her beanbag close to him.

She just dropped there and went to take Naegi hand. Just that. Silent and just holding his hand.

Naegi was during all this process a flushed face as his face was closer to the color of the sakura petals with the pink of his cheeks at his embarrassment. He wanted to get his hand free, but at the same time, something inside of him told him that if he were to take his hand away of hers, he would be breaking something irreplaceable. Even if he wasn't sure of what it was.

Maki simply smiled inside. While her face may show seriousness and her eyes may not stop looking at Naegi, she was really more focused on the fact of holding his hand. Seeing as he didn't reject her holding his hand she went to the next step of her plan.

Naegi face became cherry red at the fact he felt the thumb of the soft hand of Maki rubbing small circles in his hand. He couldn't speak as he was embarrassed at what could be deemed as a personal type of contact.

Meanwhile, Maki Harukawa was in bliss. She wasn't that good with expressing herself. But she could show how much Naegi meant to her through small acts like the one she was doing. She approached more closely to Naegi.

As Maki got to the point where she invaded Naegi beanbag, he was already too flushed in his face. So when Maki released his hand he felt relief. But the relief only lasted for a second as Maki closed her arms around Naegi.

"Call me Maki." She spoke softly. And while to some, it may sound like a demand, Naegi was sure the girl was trembling in nerves just as much as him.

"O-okay…Har…Maki." When he finished saying her name she hugged him tightly. Naegi could hear a small hiccup of the girl as she tightened the hug.

"You weren't lying….I don't feel alone. Now that you are here. It doesn't matters if the others get adopted. I will never be alone..." Those words got to Naegi immediately. He had said those words to someone in a message long ago. Someone who lived in an orphanage and took care of the children… someone who said had eyes that made her seem threatening, and that had trouble to smile.

Naegi slowly made some distance between him and Maki. Making sure it was slow so she didn't believe he was pushing her away because he was uncomfortable. He looked at the red eyes of the girl and smiled.

"It's you isn't? The caretaker of the orphanage." As he finished speaking those words the girl nodded. Her face never looking less serious. Which only made Naegi smile as red as he was in his face at their close contact. She let out a small smile. So small it could have been deemed imperceptible.

"Is nice to finally see you Makoto." She spoke with the same seriousness. But Naegi could feel how happy she was.

"How do you know it was me Haru…" He saw the face of Maki and understood. "Maki. How did you know it was me?" She smiled bringing out a piece of paper. It read a simple message.

!"#$%& Identity is Makoto Naegi, Ultimate Lucky student. If you got a chatting app with that contact then you know who to look for.

Naegi eyes were open in surprise at the note. Someone knew who he was. And was going around telling others who he was? Why? Is not like everyone in the school knew him.

As he saw the note he heard coughing. It caught both Naegi and Maki attention.

When they looked at the direction the cough came from they were met with the face of Fukawa and Kirumi who were looking at them with their arms crossed.

"Master. I believe we spoke that having mistresses was not allowed until you have your first wife…. Which is me." Kirumi Tojo spoke with seriousness, her eye focusing especially on the girl holding the hand of Naegi.

Fukawa simply looked at Naegi with a frown. But it didn't last long until her fake anger melted showing the usual shy girl.

"N-Naegi… i-is so good to s-see you here…" She smiled at him and Naegi smiled back. Not noticing the pair of scissors Fukawa was holding in her left hand that she was tightly holding with her right.

"Come on Fukawa! Let me get rid of both of them! You know you want the cutie!"
"No! I don't want Naegi to see you…"
"He already has thought."
"That's not the point!"

Fukawa had been so in her thoughts she didn't notice when Naegi approached her. He waved at her.

"Fukawa?" Hearing his voice she reacted blinking before letting a surprised yelp.

"Yes?" She spoke as best as she could making sure her nerves didn't show.

"Want to come with us?" They were going to get out of the library and Naegi thought Fukawa wouldn't like to be alone. The ultimate writer looked at Naegi with a soft smile in her face as she denied.

"N-no… but thank you… I want to read for a w-while… but if you want to see me… just come here." Her soft smile and her tone had the desired effect in Naegi whose face got red, much to the dislike of Maki and Kirumi.

As the group went out Maki held one arm of Naegi while Kirumi did the other.

"Harukawa… why do you stay so close to master?" Maki shrugged as she spoke bluntly.

"The task of caring for children is easier to do with both parents present. So why should I stay away from Makoto when he is going to help me care for our children?"

Silence reigned in the hall. Makoto Naegi fainted at the blunt girl words.

Kirumi Tojo avoided Naegi of falling to the floor and just looked at Maki Harukawa with calculative eyes.

"Another rival?" Maki looked at her with all her seriousness.

"Rival would mean we are in the same league. I believe I am much better to be with Makoto." Needless to say, Kirumi was taking to quickly find how much of a threat Maki Harukawa could be. Neither took notice of the fast girl who threw a smoke grenade. The smoke avoiding them from seeing the athletic girl with dark hair who was smiling as she was carrying a boy who had fainted in her arms.

The girl ran as she raised a hand to her ear.

"Fenrir reporting. Secured Lucky boy. I repeat Fashionista, lucky boy secured." She spoke and got an answer back from the small device in her ear.

"Good Fenrir! Proceed as planned! Keep Lucky boy with you until the 2000 hours, then we can proceed with operation Bed of Roses!" She sighed hearing the name of the operation.

"Junko is this really necessary?" She asked as she looked at Naegi sleeping face as she ran with him.

"You insisted we needed code names Mukuro." Mukuro sighed.

"I did. But we could use something more normal, as Alpha and Beta maybe." The girl on the other side laughed.

"Where is the fun in that? We are the best duo! The Fenrir and the Fashionista! With your skills and my analytical prowess we got nothing to worry and…." Mukuro sighed.

"Let me guess. Communications got hacked?" She heard a sigh.

"Fujisaki is much better than people give him credit." Both sisters sighed.

"How much was compromised?" She heard Junko sighing.

"Fujisaki wants in at the operation Bed of Roses." Mukuro sighed.

"Can we call it for what it is instead of that?!" She was tired of that operation name.

"Party pooper. We will call it a sleepover geez…"

Mukuro smiled.

"Thank you." She heard Junko giggling.

"Just keep him safe. I doubt the maid will stop looking for him. You need to find a place you can hide without the worry of someone finding you." Mukuro nodded while thinking. What place could be so obvious to hide Kirumi Tojo wouldn't think of looking for her….

When Mukuro saw the door of the teacher's lounge she smiled. Not only would she be able to put Naegi in a couch to rest. She would also be in a place Kirumi Tojo wouldn't think they would hide. Why hide in a room with professors?

As she entered and placed Naegi in the empty couch of the teacher's lounge, a big office full of chairs, a sofa and a screen and refreshments she sighed in relief. That was until she heard a soft cough behind her.

"Excuse me? Why is that boy sleep on the couch?" Mukuro looked behind her and saw a woman she had met the day she arrived in the school.

Wearing a white blouse under a blue suit with pants of the same color was Chisa Yukizome. Her long and bright colored hair held in a big ponytail giving her a young and adorable look.

"Mukuro? Why is that boy sleeping?" She gulped. She really loved this teacher. So she decided to be honest.

"This is the boy I told you about..." Immediately Chisa face brightened up. She had to share with her friend!

You won't believe it! Remember I told you yesterday how my student was infatuated with a student? Guess what? She found him! Oh, I must celebrate this!

Chisa Yukizome had a friend whom she shared selfies with all the time. she never once asked him for a photograph. She just shared hers because she wasn't afraid of whoever may be on the other side of the screen. Mostly cause judging by his reactions to all her pictures he was an innocent guy.

As she pressed send, she never once imagined how much things would go in a spiral of feelings as she heard the vibrations of a cellphone coming from the sleeping boy. Mukuro didn't give it much attention as she went to get cookies from the refreshment table in the room.

Chisa approached the boy and send a second message from her phone saying.

"Peek a boo."

When she heard the similar sound she apologized to the boy as she let one of her hands poke in his pocket removing a phone. When opened the phone showed her messages.

Chisa Yukizome could only say one word resuming how she felt that the guy she fantasized about starting a family with was a student who looked so cute sleeping in the couch.

"Ah, crap." Chisa covered her mouth remembering Mukuro was close and didn't want the girl to hear her cursing.

What kind of teacher would she be if she cursed in front of her students?

A small voice in her head said:
"The sort that has a crush on her student."

"Ah, crap!" This time she was sure Mukuro heard her as she heard the sound of water splashing from a cup of paper falling to the floor.
