A/N: Hello beautiful readers! Thank you for the new follows and favorites 3

Alright we are finally starting the long awaited Ryuunosuke Date Arc! It's multi chapter as it's kind of a big one so it'll be a gradual build.

Important: There will be another author note at the end of the chapter regarding the plot/ships of this story so please read it:) Okay enjoy Angry Rio, Embaressed Mizuki, and Flustered Ryuu-chan~

(Edit: Guys... I messed up Ryuunosuke's name. Mizuki was supposed to be calling him by his family name this whole time (Chiba), so I changed it. Please ignore the ones I missed and know I did not mean for her to call him so familiarly yet.)


Chapter 11

Mizuki POV

Mizuki could feel her classmates' eyes on her after Karasuma left. It hadn't been her intention to do something so bold, but she was in a bad mood and couldn't particularly care at this point. Sighing, she laid her head in her arms and let her gaze fall on the clouds outside the window.

At least I can try to protect them. Mizuki thought, images of her siblings flashing in her mind. Plus it'll give me more time to analyze the knives and bb bullets themselves.

She had been staying after school every few days in order to attempt to find out what substance made them effective against their octopus teacher. So far, she had gotten nowhere. Now she could spend her free time at home studying them.

"Hmmm," a hum broke her train of thought, "that was unexpected…"

And here's the reason for my bad mood. Mizuki thought sourly.

Grumpily looking up, she saw a certain blue-grey haired boy standing by her desk. With his typical hairstyle covering his eyes, Mizuki tried unsuccessfully to decipher what he was thinking.

"Is there something you needed, Chiba-san?"

"Nope, just curious."

Mizuki waited for him to clarify. Instead all she got was an uncomfortable silence. I can't believe I have to spend all afternoon with this guy. She thought with a mental facepalm. This is what I get for being nice one time!

Inwardly, she knew she would probably still help him out, but if she did get a do-over, she definitely would not offer compensation for her classmates' behavior with a favor.

"Well, I'm sure you can find someone else to satiate your curiosity." Mizuki said with an emotionless tone and a wave of her hand to shoo him away from disturbing her peace. She was not about to give in and ask what he was curious about.

Chiba-san gave a small shrug and turned to head back to his seat. She watched his back as he headed to his seat behind Okajima-san, trying to resist the urge to find out what he wanted.

"Wait."

He stopped.

She waited for him to come back to her seat so she could ask him without everyone around them listening in. Most of the students towards the front of the room were lost in their own conversations ranging from new ways to kill Korosensei to what their plans were for the day; however, Hara-san, Sugaya-san, Fuwa-san, and Okuda-san were all close enough to hear what they were saying (technically Sugino-san could hear too, but he was too depressed after his failed attempt to kill Korosensei this morning.)

Unfortunately, Chiba-san made no signs of moving closer to her, opting to simply turn around to face her. She could see the hint of a teasing smile on his face. Knowing she could either ask him out loud or go up to him and drag him to her seat, she decided to go with the less embarrassing option. After all, she didn't know her other classmates well enough to feel comfortable letting them listen in to her conversations as they were already few and far between.

She stood up and marched towards him. Grabbing his wrist, she reveled in his slightly surprised expression before dragging him back to her seat in the very back and asking with a hint of annoyance, "What were you curious about?"

"Why did you argue with Karasuma-san earlier?"

She could hear genuine curiosity in his voice. Honestly, she herself was a bit surprised at her boldness, but when it came to protecting her loved ones she would do anything. "I made my reasons clear. Korosensei threatened our loved ones. We need a way to protect them."

"It's like you said though: if we can't even hit him in the classroom, what difference will it make if we can bring the weapons home with us?"

"True, but unlike the government, Korosensei won't hurt us."

Chiba-san seemed to contemplate that. Then in a quieter voice he asked, "So you'd use yourself as a human shield?"

"Hmmm," she hummed in affirmation. "Perceptive. Thought Class E wasn't supposed to be smart."

She saw him tense a little at that, so she quickly clarified, "Kidding. I was kidding. I'm one of you guys now remember?"

At this he gave her a small smile. Maybe this afternoon won't be so terrible.

Time Skip (After Korosensei came back from the baseball game)

Mizuki was walking back from the bathroom when she heard muffled yells. She glanced around looking for the source of the sound and saw Korosensei outside on the grassy hill outside the building with something wriggling amongst him many tentacles. She squinted only to realize that it was Sugino Tomohito in his arms.

Her shock was quickly broken when she heard the classroom door slide open and Shiota-san stepped out. He didn't even see her before dashing out of the building to go help Sugino-san. Shrugging her shoulders, Mizuki headed back into the classroom where the other students were working on the assignment Korosensei had given them before he pulled Sugino outside to talk with him.

Honestly, she wasn't worried. After his little display yesterday, she was 100% sure that for whatever reason, Korosensei would absolutely not hurt them. Sitting back down in her seat, she twirled her pencil in her hand as she read through the questions, not giving a second thought to the incident happening outside.

Time skip (After school)

Mizuki briefly considered making a run for it in order to ditch him. Though she had been feeling slightly better about their plans for after school since their conversation during lunch, Mizuki had been getting more and more nervous as the lessons wore on.

It wasn't so much that she was against Chiba-san's company (which honestly shocked her when she realized it) but rather the fact that she hasn't hung out or had friends since… Traitor. Really, he had been her only true friend. Or so she thought.

As the bell rang, she gathered her stuff and stood up to approach Chiba-san, but was interrupted by a tall blonde girl standing in her way.

"Alright, Hiyashi, you got some explaining to do and you are not getting away from me this time." Nakamura-san declared, arms folded across her chest. Her blue eyes were set with determination for answers to her questions.

Mizuki waved for Chiba to go on ahead while he stared at them with his head tilted slightly to the side as if to ask What's going on?

"And why do I need to explain anything to you?"

"You know damn well why." Nakamura-san's eyes narrowed in annoyance. Silently reminding Mizuki of how she bailed her out the other day. "Now tell me why you pretended to be mute."

Hmmm… run or come up with some wayward answer? Both will probably only make her angrier so I guess running it is. Mizuki thought sarcastically.

Mind made up, she gave Nakamura-san a small smirk and said, "Yeah, I'll need a rain check on those answers I never promised you."

With that, Mizuki high-tailed it out of the classroom. Once she was out of the building, she saw Chiba just starting down the mountain at a leisurely pace. Knowing the blond would be on their tail any minute, she grabbed his hand and pulled him along.

"Wha-?! Ahhhhh!"

Mizuki snickered a little to herself, enjoying getting a reaction out of the normally calm boy. The two of them reached the bottom of the mountain in no time, but she knew they couldn't keep up the pace, so she veered to the right and dragged the boy behind her into the foliage. Wanting to ensure their safety from the raging blond girl, Mizuki led him deeper into the forest until they could just barely see the path down the hill.

Mizuki's breathing was slightly heavier than normal, but it was nothing compared to Chiba's heavy panting. His hands were on his knees as he tried to catch his breath. His bangs were plastered to his sweaty forehead, yet somehow his eyes were still covered. (No, she was not annoyed by that).

Looking up, he exclaimed, "What was that?"

Afraid their spot would be given away, she automatically threw her hand over his mouth. Unbeknownst to her, her actions caused them to become uncomfortably close and now Chiba's face was red for a whole other reason.

Mizuki kept her eyes trained on the path waiting to see the blond girl go by. Sure enough, a few minutes later, she saw Nakamura-san flying by the gate to the main campus. Mizuki waited a few more moments before letting go of Chiba's mouth and stepping back.

"Okay, we're good." She said before looking down at her companion who had yet to say another word. She leaned down in concern when she saw his face was bright red.

"Um, are you okay Chiba-san? Your face is still really red."

"N-no." he stuttered before clearing his throat. In a much calmer voice, he said, "I'm fine. Just not used to running that fast I guess."

"Oh, yeah," Mizuki suddenly felt shy, twirling one side of her bangs with her finger, "I forget that most people don't run that fast."

"It's fine. Though, I have to ask, why are we hiding from Nakamura-san?"

"Well long story short she wants answers I don't want to give. You're the lesser of two evils here; be flattered."

Chiba sweat dropped slightly, "Okay."

Deciding it was safe, she started leading him out of the forest and back onto the path. Feeling bad for making him run down the whole mountain, she started making light conversation with him.

Ryuunosuke POV

"So, why'd you want this as your favor?"

Ryuunosuke paused, surprised she was instigating conversation with him, before he responded, "Well, it was the only way I could think of to get you to make friends."

"What makes you think I need friends?"

"Why wouldn't you?"

"You don't seem to have friends."

Ryuunosuke subtly flinched at that. She wasn't wrong. He really didn't have any friends in Class E or anywhere else. He was actually pretty shy which made it hard for him to connect with others. The only exception to this rule was her. He didn't know if it was because she helped him that time or if it was just the way she acted so tough and standoffish even though he knew she was secretly kind and playful, but she just made him want to reach out to her.

"Well, I guess it was the only way I could make a friend, then." He responded, not realizing how lame he sounded until the words left his mouth. "Wait, no- I mean-"

"Pfffft." As he fumbled over his words he saw her cover her mouth as her laughter threatened to escape.

"That's not what I meant to say." He tried again with a slight whine to his voice.

"It's fine." She consoled him, brown eyes bright with mirth. He was taken aback slightly at how pretty she looked with so much joy showing on her face. Guess I'm just used to seeing her with a wall in front of her emotions.

"I think I get what you mean." She said it so softly he almost didn't hear. He could see on her face, which was still unguarded, as she recalled something in her past. Obviously, it wasn't a pleasant memory as her expression slowly soured and her eyes closed off again.

Wanting to change the topic, he softly bumped his shoulder against hers to get her attention and asked, "So what are you siblings like?"

Her whole body lit up at the mention of her siblings, her steps got a little faster in her excitement, and her eyes regained the joyful sparkle from earlier. She opened her mouth to start ranting about how cute they were when they heard a voice behind them.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't the Fallen Angel of Class A."

Ryuunosuke stopped walking when he saw her freeze in place, her whole body tensed and looking ready to bolt. Curious to see who could cause such a reaction from the normally calm girl, Ryuunosuke turned around and came face to face with the most powerful boy in school: Asano Gakushu.

"It's been a while, Mizuki-chan."

Chapter 11 End


A/N: Here's the deal my little chili babies, this fanfiction is going to mainly be about ships (so there will be a lot of potentials for our little OC). The reason is I honestly am pretty happy with the plot of the manga and don't want to change it too much. That being said, I probably will end up changing a bit as the story progresses. Scenes will be altered or added. I don't have all the scenes planned right now, so if anyone has any creative fillers or funny scenes they would like to see (I would prefer if it included Mizuki but if not I can still work with that) I will try to add it. Basically you guys can send mini crack prompts and I'll try to write it for you as filler chapters later in the fic.

Now on the issue of who Mizuki ends up with... that's up to you! I am going to start a poll with the current guys as options and you all can vote either by review or PMing me who you want her to end up with. You are free to add another character as part of the poll but for now, I'm going to stick to the guys who have appeared so far. Warning: Nagisa is almost definitely not going to be end ship unless he gets heavy support from you guys. Also, if there aren't enough votes or there isn't a majority, I will choose the end ship with my beta.

This poll will be open from now until the middle/last parts of the story (which is still a long ways away don't worry), but I wanted to start it now because I realize that I don't have a ton of readers (again thank you to those sticking around. You guys are the best!)

Alright here's the poll:

Chiba Ryuunosuke

Asano Gakushuu

Shiota Nagisa

Akabane Karma
