Chapter 3

Hayami taps her pencil against her lips thinking 'What could Chiba want? He had that smirk again… I wonder if it has to do with why he's been so weird? Maybe it has to do with whatever Okajima was trying to ask… Or Chiba's bloodlust maybe? Why has he been so weird…'

Okano taps Hayami's Head with her pen "Ha-ya-mi~ Pay attention to me. Korosensei's giving us some study time. Can you help me study current events?"

Hayami nods glancing at Chiba after sensing his bloodlust spike again.

Chiba turns away from her and grabs Okajima before he can talk to her.

Hayami looks back at Okano "Yeah… what do you want to start with?"

Chiba glances at her before turning to Okajima and Itona.

Okajima crosses his arms looking at his no eyed friend "Okay Chiba. What's your deal."

Chiba looks at his paper "Don't know what you're talking about."

Itona "Chiba. Which angle is better for the bot?"

Chiba looks at his blueprints examining them. Okajima looks over to Hayami.

"Well I don't think I can ask her today… Maybe tomorrow I'll have a chance…"

Chiba points to one of the blueprints and kicks Okajima's seat "This one has better aim."

Okajima nearly falls to the floor "Chiba!!!!"

That caught the attention of a few classmates.

Chiba blinks confused "What…? Do you not understand that formula or??"

Okajima sink's back into his chair "Forget it. I'll never understand you Chiba Ryūnosuke…"

Chiba sweat drops "Ahha? Full name? What I do?"

Okajima slightly glares at him "The question should be what you didn't do."

Chiba studies the blueprint "I have no idea what you're talking about."

Itona clears his throat "So this one is better for aim. I think this one is better with design overall."

Okajima just huff and points at one of the designs "Maybe so, but this one has a farther range."

Itona nods "True, Chiba do you think you and Sugaya can collaborate on whole new design combining all these factors."

Chiba shrugs "Maybe, I'm not sure how his free time works but I can ask before school lets out."

Itona nods again "Okay, I'll be asking Yoshida for material input."

Itona walks over to Yoshida leaving Okajima and Chiba by themselves. Chiba's face immediately switches to a scowl.

Okajima puts his hands up "Okay I can feel you glaring at me Chiba."

Chiba "Wow that's so surprising. Considering you seemed so convinced I don't even have eyes."

Okajima lowers his hand and rest his chin in them pouting "Only reason I can tell you have eyes is your glare. Okay stop glaring like that! I'm not your target?"

Chiba "Yes you are. If you don't stay away from Hayami that is."

Okajima looks confused "What why? Dude c'mon! That's a little extreme isn't it?"

Chiba crosses his arms keeping his scowl and glare on Okajima "You're not making a move on my Hayami. That's just? No. That's so weird? You? With Hayami?"

Okajima didn't hear the possessive tone hidden in Chiba's voice "What's so weird? She's cute, smart, and a tsundere! Not to mention she's got b-"

Chiba has his finger on Okajima's forehead "Don't. Even. Finish. That."

Okajima freezes. It feels like a gun. He gulps looking at Chiba's hand "Okay. Okay. Not sure why you're so ticked off but okay. Is it that time of the month or?"

Chiba frowns at the joke "I will literally stab you. Right here. Right now."

Okajima sweats knowing full well Chiba is holding his knife in his other hand "Okay. Moody Chiba is scary Chiba. But can you honestly give me one just one? Valid reason why I shouldn't ask out Hayami?"

Chiba "Because I said no."

Okajima shakes his head "Not valid enough."

Chiba's scowl fades to confusion as he lowers his hand to his lip thinking and looks at Hayami who's still talking to Okano not paying attention to them.

Okajima smirks teasingly "What you got a crush on her too or something?"

Chiba blushes deeply "That- That's not it!!"

Okajima crosses his arm "Well then?"

Chiba "Well then… um- well- Hayami's already rejected you remember. Twice. Once as first years and again as second. She's not interested."

Okajima "First off. She wasn't then but she might now! Second. How do you know that!!!!!"

Kataoka from the front of the class "Okajima-kun please quiet down!!!"

He sinks "Sorry Kataoka-San!"

Chiba shrugs "Hayami told me awhile back when we were talking about how we ended up in the E-class. She said something about how she's had in class all three years and that you've tried hitting on her in all three. So save yourself some time and just don't ask her out?"

Okajima thinks it over "Yeah no? I'm still asking her out. If I can't today I will tomorrow for sure! But I'm trying for today! The day isn't over!"

Chiba clenches his fist "I'm not letting you near her."

Okajima smirks standing up

Chiba watches him carefully "Okajima think about what you're doing."

He smirks over his shoulder then looks at the person in front of him "Hey? Got a sec?"

The artist looks up from his sketch "Hm? What is it Okajima?"

Okajima "Chiba has a question." He leans closer to him "Keep him distracted for me."

Sugaya nods going over to Chiba "What's up Chiba?"

Chiba keeps his eyes on Okajima luckily no one can tell "Think you can help me redesign Itona's newest bot? We want to combine these two to get better aim and range."

Sugaya looks at the designs "Yeah that's cool. When do you want to work on it?" He looks up and sees Chiba's gone "Eh?"

Itona points outside "He said he'll be back in a sec. Something about needing to kill Okajima before he does anything to 'his Hayami' or something. I wasn't paying much attention."

Sugaya "Oh shit!! Okajima's dead!! Wait 'his Hayami'?"

Itona shrugs "Chiba's words not mine. He called Hayami his. Are they dating?"

Sugaya shakes his head "Not yet. Okajima's trying to ask out Hayami actually."

Itona nods "I know. Chiba's been strangely possessive lately."

Hayami comes back inside insanely confused going to Itona.

Itona "Hayami?"

She rubs her arm nervously "Itona do you know why Chiba's being so…"

Itona "Weird?"

She nods looking at him and Sugaya "And either of you know why Okajima has been weird too?"

Sugaya "Okajima's always weird."

Hayami nods "True… But why Chiba? It's unlike him to openly show emotion… He said it has to do with his little brother but this's different…?"

Itona shrugs "He didn't even give us any sort of explanation."

Sugaya "Honestly I was planning on giving him space… I've never seen him show more emotion than a smirk or scowl and even that's rare. This? Not gonna lie. More terrifying than Takaoka. At least we knew he wanted to kill us. It's a lot more terrifying when you can't see the eyes…"

Hayami laughs lightly which catches the two boys off guard "Chiba isn't that scary? He won't hurt anyone other than his target ya know?"

Sugaya and Itona look at each other then shrug turning to the girl

Itona "That's just it. What happens whenever he finds his target?"

Hayami "Whenever we're doing paintball and he locks on his target then game over?"

Sugaya sighs "Well… Okajima's dead."

Hayami tilts her head "Why would Chiba make Okajima his target? That's also unlike him?"

Itona smirks examining the blueprints "We don't know for sure but…"

Sugaya winks "Our guess is Okajima's going after something important to Chiba~?"

Itona shrugs "But who knows. Chiba's been weird all day. I wish he'd chill for 5 minutes so he can help me with this bot…"

Hayami shrugs "If you don't mind I can help but don't get the wrong idea."

Itona nods "At this point you are my only option although you do scare me."

Hayami keeps a straight face "Trust me the feeling is mutual."

Sugaya now knowing this fact decides to stay for awhile since they mutually scare each other.

Sugaya clears his throat and points at the blueprint "Uh well Hayami me and Chiba were combining these two designs to create an overall better design for Itona's bot."

Hayami looks over the blueprint with concentration on her face "I say you should make the barrel a little shorter so the bullet can move faster and at a greater distance."

Itona nods taking notes on what the female sniper is saying "Anything else~?"

Hayami puts on a poker face "Well if you make the barrel too short its a slight chance it will miss its target. Then again that could also depend on the shooter."

Sugaya just looks confused and decides to walk away. He figured they will come to him after re-adjustments has been made and all flaws have been pointed out.

Hayami then thought of something else "You also might want to add a micro camera in with a mini scope to make the aim more accurate since the shooter is a robot."

Itona shifts uncomfortably and nervously while writing the notes down before asking a question.

Itona "How is the camera beneficial?"

Hayami rubs her arm nervously while biting her lip "Well I thought you might want to see exactly where you are aiming from the bots point of view."

Itona shifts once again "Oh...uhh...yeah. Good idea."

Chiba had just walked in the classroom to see both Hayami and Itona talking nervously to each other. 'Why would they be nervous around each other? Why are they talking to each other?'

Karma looked up from his phone when he felt Chiba's bloodlust spike once again. He hurriedly text the person he was texting before giving his new play toys all of his attention without said people knowing.

Chiba goes over to them "Hey?"

Hayami looks over at him "Chiba? There you are. Where'd you go?"

Chiba shrugs "Had to take care of something."

Itona makes a mental note to see if Okajima is dead. Hayami simply nods accepting his answer.

Chiba "So what're you two talking about?"

Itona "That bot. Okajima left to talk to Hayami, you got all moody and left after him for some reason, Sugaya's good at designing but if I don't know what I need I can't ask for his help, Yoshida said he can help with actually building but until then he's useless. Hayami is second best shooter in the class and offered to help."

Hayami "Don't take it the wrong way. I just want to kill Korosensei."

Chiba nods looking at Itona's notes for it "Hm? I didn't think about barrel length. Good thinking Hayami."

She blushes softly "Thanks…"

Chiba blushes "I- don't take it the wrong way…"

Itona smirks "Tsunderes."

Chiba "I'm not a tsundere. Hayami is though."

Hayami "Wha- I am not."

He smirks teasingly "Oh really know? What's your code name again? Tsundere Sniper?"

Hayami teases him back "Okay Dating Sim Emo Character?"

Chiba shrugs "Fair point Hayami."

Itona sighs "Is anyone else here good with bots? These two won't stop flirting."

Both snipers blush "It's not like that!!!"

Itona shrugs as the bell rings.

Everyone starts to leave.

Chiba smirks once they're in the hall "You're not backing out of that bet are you?"

Hayami crosses her arms "Spit it out Chiba. How evil can you be?"

Okajima swings the door open as the two are alone in the hall "Hayami!!"

She turns and Chiba's bloodlust spikes.

Hayami "Okajima? What? You've been following me all day."

Okajima looks at her blushing "I- I um- well I was just-"

Chiba draws a line across his neck and Okajima gulps.

Okajima sighs "I'll just tell you tomorrow. Itona's waiting."

He leaves cursing to himself.

Chiba sighs leveling out his bloodlust.

Hayami looks at him "Okay Chiba. Why has your bloodlust been so out of control today? Seriously is everything okay?"

He blushes nervously "Everything's fine! Just some stuff Tadashi said this morning's been bugging me all day. Ah ha I told you? He's really annoying."

She sighs knowing he's lying and she's not getting the real answer anytime soon "If you say so. So the bet? How evil are you gonna be this time?"

Chiba smirks "Who knows."

She crosses her arms looking up at him "So you gonna tell me yet? I'm curious?How evil can you be?"

Chiba smirks "Extremely."

She raises an eyebrow "Doubt it?"

Chiba laughs slightly "I want you to sing a so called 'emo' song to one of the big five."

Hayami falters a bit not believing Chiba chose that for his end of the bet.

He noticed her change "Evil enough for you?"

Hayami folds her arms once again "Did Karma put you up to this? I kind of heard you two talking in class about it."

Chiba shakes his head "No, I just think it'll be funny."

Hayami sighs "Okay, what song? And which of the big five?"

Chiba thinks for a little while which makes Hayami nervous.

Hayami 'He knows a lot of really emo songs… this isn't going to end well…'

Chiba smirks looking at her slightly excited "How about Art Is The Weapon by My Chemical Romance?"

Hayami sweat drops "Uh I don't know that song and I don't listen to the same music as you."

Chiba shrugs "I know. And for as for the member of the big five? The one who 'has a way with words'? The poet guy? Sakakibara Ren was it?"

Hayami sighs "Fine. At least you're not completely heartless?"

Chiba smirks "I could say Asano~?"

Hayami holds her hands up "Sakakibara Ren it is!"

Meanwhile Rio and Karma are being their usual stalkerish selves and following Hayami and Chiba.

Rio has a confused face "My Chemical Romance? Who's that?"

Karma just shrugs and pulls out his phone "Hey Ritsu, can you pull up the lyrics to Art is the Weapon by My Chemical Romance?"

Ritsu do a little salute "Will do Karma-kun."

Karma and Rio read the lyrics off the screen

Rio "……I forgot how emo Chiba is."

Karma sweat drops "He is the resident emo… Hayami is on the move lets go."

Hayami see's Sakakibara waiting for his mom or dad and sighs looking at Chiba

"You're evil."

Chiba smirks giving her a nudge "Have fun~"

She sighs again and walks over to him.

Ren looks at her "Oh my aren't you beauty."

Hayami rolls her eyes and starts singing "All the way in battery city The little children Raised their open filthy palms Like tiny daggers up to heaven"

Ren looks bewildered at her "What are doing? Stop. That's a horrible song! A lovely lady like you shouldn't be singing that!"

Karma records and taps Rio's arm "Oi! Look!"

Rio fishes get phone recording it "This will be great blackmail!"

Hayami continues singing "And the Ritalin rats Ask angels made from neon And fucking garbage scream out "What'll save us?""

Ren looks around in confusion.

Chiba bites his lip holding his phone recording 'Holy shit Hayami has a nice voice… How does she know the lyrics? I didn't show her the song? Does she actually listen to MCR?!"

Hayami is on the last part and continues singing "And the sky opened up Everybody wants to change the world But no one Wants to die Wanna try? No! I'll be your detonator!"

Ren claps "Marvelous voice? But a beautiful young lady like you shouldn't sing such songs?" He smiles sweetly "I'm honored by your attempts to woo me but alas! We are from different worlds! If it weren't for your poor academics… Still! Even with such poor grades! A lovely girl like you must have better music taste!"

Chiba's bloodlust spikes with each compliment he gives her. Hayami keeps a straight face trying not to blush knowing Chiba recorded.

Hayami rolls her eyes "Just keep that between us. Bye."

Ren nods raising his eyebrow watching her leave the school.

"Strange… even for the End Class…" 'I guess Asano isn't the only one that loses bets…'

Around the corner

Hayami leans against the wall attempting to not blush.

Chiba leans beside her smirking at his phone "Didn't expect you to get so into it?"

Hayami looks away "I knew you'd call me a coward if I didn't."

Chiba nods "Switch rolls? You'd the same."

She smiles softly "That's true. But! You're still evil!!!"

He shrugs "Possibly. But don't worry. Sakakibara actually respects the girls in class. You got 13th overall is the school. He respects you enough to not tell anyone since you asked."

Hayami scoffs "Maybe! But seriously Chiba. You have 3 seconds to delete that and pretend that didn't happen!"

He laughs holding his phone above his head "Not gonna happen Hayami!"

From a bush nearby the class devils are a new level of confused.

Karma "His bloodlust?"

Rio nods "Weird…"
