Chapter 11
Karma smirks "Well you hated that a lot less than I expected?"
All three remain silent.
Hayami takes her seat refusing to look at Chiba. Sugaya was able to hold eye contact for a moment until Chiba covers his mouth turning completely red.
Chiba "Wh-what-"
Sugaya decides to tease him and kiss his cheek before going to his seat silently.
Chiba puts his head down trying to ignore his classmates shocked gazes.
Korosensei's about to say something but Karma stops him
Karma "Not. A. Word… Yet…"
Maehara nods "Just teach while his bloodlust is low."
Korosensei nods starting class but keeping an eye on all three
Chiba 'What the hell… why did they both kiss me… and… why didn't I push either away…'
Hayami 'Stupid Karma and his stupid plots. I know I'll never live that down. It's not like I wanted to kiss Chiba… it was the only way to make him forget his bloodlust… he didn't have to grab my waist…'
Sugaya glances at his friend then immediately at his drawing 'I know he loves Hayami but… I do wish I could do that on different, less deadly circumstances… Stop thinking about Chiba like this! That was just to calm his bloodlust. He's in love with Hayami…'
The school day eventually comes to an end and Chiba hasn't picked up his head. Neither Hayami nor Sugaya say a word.
Hayami immediately leaves after the bell.
Sugaya waits until the classroom is empty then taps Chiba "Um? Are you okay?"
Chiba lifts his head "Today has been an emotional wreck… I just wanna go home… Alone…"
Sugaya nods patting his shoulder "Okay. Don't overthink it."
Chiba sighs "I know. It was just so I don't kill anyone… Didn't mean anything."
Sugaya glances at him before leaving 'He likes Hayami… Hayami likes him… Don't get their way Sosuke…'
He sighs then looks up at the tree seeing his death "Hayami?"
Hayami stays in the tree "Sugaya… Why did Karma say us both?"
Sugaya shrugs continuing to walk "Probably because you're in love with him and Chiba won't kill me. Or just for fanservice. It's Karma afterall?"
Hayami looks to the side "It was just so Chiba would forget his bloodlust. I'm still pissed at him."
Sugaya still doesn't stop "That doesn't change the fact you're both in love with each other."
Hayami shoots past him making him stop "I'm not in love with that. Chiba's… more for you…"
Sugaya laughs slightly "That's a lie. See ya around Hayami." 'I wish you were right…'
Skip to Chiba getting home.
Tsukki "Ah? Ry how was school?"
Chiba shrugs going up to his room "Mm…"
Rukia sighs hearing his door shut "Don't worry about it dad… I'll take care of that in a bit."
Tsukki shakes his head "No. I'm the father. I need to be there for him more."
Rukia sighs knowing it's a bad idea.
Tsukki knocks on Chiba's door and comes inside.
Chiba's changed out of his uniform "I'm busy."
Tsukki comes in and blocks the door "Ry what's wrong…"
Chiba clicks his tongue "Nothings wrong father. Leave me alone."
Tsukki crosses his arms "If nothing was wrong, you wouldn't have completely ignored Rukia."
Chiba feels his bloodlust becoming unstable "I'm fine."
Tsukki goes beside him "Ry don't push me away again."
Chiba scoffs "Like you're one to talk… why are you even here still… shouldn't you be who knows where and forgetting about us."
Tsukki looks at him sadly "Ry...it's not like that...it's just business travel...I would never forget you all"
Chiba looks at him before rolling his eyes "Bull, only reason Tadashi and Senna haven't forgotten about you was because me and Nee-san tell them stories and show them pictures of you. While I bet you don't even know Sen's birthday"
Tsukki "I know all of your birthdays Ry… I'm sorry I'm not around much. It's just… work gets in the way a lot and-"
Chiba cuts him off "You've been saying that since I was born. Don't act like you make an effort to come. The only reason you're here now is because the deal closed and Mom forced you to come back. Yeah. I know. No. I didn't tell the others."
Tsukki grabs his arms "Ryūnosuke! You of all people shouldn't talk. You ended up in the E class and gave no explanation."
Chiba smirks "Wow you know what class I'm in! How surprising! Let me guess? Do you know because you pay attention, remembered when you forced my classmates to come, or, the most realistic, Nee-San told you enough about me to for you to hold a conversation?"
Tsukki's grip tightens but Chiba doesn't flinch
Tsukki "Ry. I try my best to keep in touch. Haruka usually keeps me updated on you guys."
Chiba "Try you're best to keep in touch huh… ha… haha!" He starts laughing and pushes him away stepping back "Last time you called any of us before this was when the moon exploded! Actually scratch that? Nee-san called you while I called mom and Tadashi comforted Sen!"
Tsukki sighs "I don't know why you're being so dramatic right now. Did something happen at school?"
Chiba crosses his arms "Look. If you're gonna try to be a decent father try with one of the others. Nee-san and I are used to you're disappearing shit. Tadashi only really remembers two things about you. Your eyes, because of mine, and you leaving Sen with us and disappearing again. Sen? She tried drawing a family portrait of all of us. She came over to me and asked what you look like. Do you have any idea how much it hurts? Of course you don't! You don't care!"
Tsukki "Ry I care. I do my best to come around just like you do your best to keep the others happy. Yes it's true. I don't know very much about you or your siblings. I wish I did though…"
Chiba laughs "Sure."
Tsukki reaches for him "Talk to me… What's wrong Ry."
Chiba sits at his desk "Nothings wrong. Just go away."
Tsukki sighs before turning around and walking away. As he was walking out Rukia was walking in
Tsukki puts a hand on Rukia "Ruki you shouldn't bother…"
Rukia looks at him "I know my brother best."
Tsukki nods sadly leaving the two siblings
Rukia sighs looking at her brother "Ryuu… I know you're still upset with dad. I am too but… he was trying."
Chiba softens a little "I know. It's just… it's been a really weird day okay… I'm emotionally and mentally drained and don't have enough patience to deal with dad. Besides…"
Rukia leans on his desk beside him "I know…"
Chiba looks at her "Exactly. We know more than Tadashi and Sen. Half the stories we tell them aren't true. Or they're twisted to make it seem like he cares. I just…" He sighs looking back at his textbook and homework "It's too late for him to try to be a father for me… it hurts… we both know he's gonna leave again."
Rukia nods "Right… Tadashi doesn't remember much since dad left when he was 4… you were 6 and I was 8… Sen never really had dad around. But…" she smiles turning him to face her "You and I remember. And we've always had each other. No matter what happened we were together."
Chiba's bloodlust fades "Right… no matter how many times he'd leave I had you. When I didn't know what to say to Tadashi or Sen… you'd help me… you… you were always there…"
Rukia looks into his hidden eyes "So let me be here now. What happened at school? Don't try to lie. You wouldn't have snapped like that if something didn't happen…"
Chiba blushes softly "I… guess I did overreact…"
Rukia laughs light and ruffles his hair "Oh no you said what we were both thinking."
Chiba's lips twitch into a smile letting himself be at ease more "You know when I'm agitated I don't have much impulse control."
She nods "Yeah. So what got you so agitated Ryuu? Talk to me."
He hesitates for a moment then smiles "I'm just a bit lost with the work. Help me out?" 'Nee-san's good at leveling my bloodlust…'
Rukia smiles slightly "Sure… what parts don't you get?" 'He's hiding something… but… he's not pushing me away. He's asking me to stay in his own way…'
Chiba sighs "It's history...I don't get any of it"
Rukia sits on his bed "Well what are you guys working on?"
Chiba just stares at his papers "The world wars"
Rukia laughed "That was hard for me too...Hand me the paper"
Chiba hands her the paper quietly
Rukia "Doesn't Hayami usually help you with this?"
He flinches with a noticeable blush "Avoiding her…"
She nods studying the paper "So that's why you're agitated? Alright. I won't ask. You clearly don't want to talk about it. What year did the first world start and why?"
Chiba thinks "Britain was being extra?"
Rukia laughs "Technically not completely wrong. What year?"
He bites his lip "Around 100 years ago?"
She shrugs "Okay it's a start… It started July 28, 1914. So over 100 years ago."
Chiba tilts his head back "Why are we even learning about this? Shouldn't we be focusing on now?"
Rukia shrugs "Not sure...what were the causes of World War 1?"
Chiba "Countries being extra, stubborn, and assholes"
Rukia laughs "Basically but it's because of nationalism, militarism, and alliances"
Chiba "Oh…so the smart words of what I just said"
Rukia "No, do you know the definitions of those words or how they were a cause?"
Chiba looks away "No. Wait, I know what alliance mean."
Rukia nods "Alright get out a pen and some paper."
He tilts his head "What is this? 1914? Why can't I just type it?"
Rukia's vein pops "Because you use paper at school. Just do it."
He groans getting them out writing the definitions.
Rukia reads it to herself "…Ryuu… nationalism isn't countries being extra and you're not allowed to use swear words for school stuff."
He smirks "It's accurate though."
She hits him with the paper "No!"
He pouts "Nationalism is extremely pride in country to the point you follow blindly even if it's wrong. Militarism is with the military and expanding it. Alliances are working with others and not killing them. Enemy of my enemy is my friend…"
She looks at him for a minute studying him "You have the answers on your bangs don't you."
"No but they're written on the back of that paper."
Rukia looks at it then hits him again while he laughs
Rukia "Ryuu that's cheating!"
Chiba "Nee-San! You never said it had to be a blank paper!"
Rukia growls "You're an ass."
He nods "Thanks. I get it from you."
She shakes her head looks at him 'At least he's not as tense. But what happened with Hayami…' "Anyway? The history."
Skip to after finishing that page
Rukia "Geez… why are they moving you guys so fast…"
Chiba shrugs "We're the End Class. We have a lot to catch up on?" 'A class is a bastard and we need to work extra…'
Rukia looks in front of her "How's it been… the e class…"
Chiba nods "It's fine Nee-san. My teachers are great but I just can't focus lately… especially not today."
"Hayami?"
He sighs with a light blush "Nee-san… What is this feeling and how do I get rid of it…"
"Wanna talk about it now? Dad stopped eavesdropping and Tadashi's talking to his 'friend'?"
Chiba gulps "Kinda… But you can't scream…"
"Oh no… what happened…"
Chiba bites his lip and tells her about the thing with Okajima
Rukia pats his head soothing him "Ryuu… you don't need to be jealous… It's clear that Hayami like you not Okajima-kun."
He has his head down hiding his embarrassment "I'm not jealous… I just… Hayami's to good for him. And besides… Hayami doesn't even like me… Not that I like her or-"
"Ryuu it's me. I know you. You're in love with her and you know it."
Chiba groans sinking into his desk "Make it stop…"
Rukia looks at the roof swinging her feet still sitting on his desk "If you wanna get rid of your crush on Hayami just go out with that tall boy? Sugaya I think? He seems pretty into you. Man if only he was older!"
Chiba looks at her "Sugaya's my bro. We love each other but not like that. Also ew. You're not allowed to go after my friends."
She raises an eyebrow "No shit I can't? That's weird on so many levels. He's a kid."
Chiba shakes his head and goes to his bed collapsing "Nee-san… what should I do… Can't I just… die? Like is that an option?"
"Uh no… C'mon! I know you're still hiding something!"
Chiba goes red remembering earlier when his bloodlust was wild "There's nothing… g'night…"
Rukia pouts "Liar… Ryuuuuuuuuuuu!!! Tell onee-chan what happened!!"
Chiba rolls over "Okay first off? I haven't called you 'onee-chan' since I was younger than Sen."
She hops his desk going his end and poking him "Still… you were so cute back then… bright eyed and open."
He turns to the wall "Oh shut up. I was a kid."
Rukia keeps poking him "Yeah now you're an emo yandere…"
"I'm not a yandere or emo. And stop poking me."
She continues "Not until you tell me what really happened. I know how you are when you want someone to talk to."
He growls annoyed and blurts out "She kissed me."
Rukia smiled and urged him to tell more.
Chiba hid his face so she wouldn't see his blush "Both Hayami and Sugaya kissed me twice."
Rukia smiled again and squealed "How did this happen?"
Chiba "Sugaya kissed me the other day when he and the rest technically kidnapped me."
Rukia leaned forward "Did you enjoy it?"
Chiba blushed "No...well….maybe...just a little"
Rukia sighed in satisfaction "Aww so cute tell me more"
Chiba hid his face in embarrassment "Well...Hayami kissed me twice today. The 2nd time she kissed is also the 2nd time Sugaya kissed me"
Rukia sat up "Wait if both Hayami and Sugaya kissed you at the same time. Where did Sugaya kiss you?"
Chiba pulled down the collar of his shirt showing her his neck.
Rukia gasped before looking at his neck "Omg! He did that?! Its not just one passion mark but three of them?! I can't believe it was on your neck!"
Chiba slightly pushed her off before fixing his collar.
She then held her arms out "I see this as an absolute win."
Chiba sighed before going to his bed and laying down "It's not"
Rukia "How so?"
Chiba "Both times they kissed me they were just trying to get us out of a fucked up situation"
Rukia "Okay but they had to at least thinking about kissing you before actually doing it. If they didn't like you they wouldn't even have tried to kiss you like they did"
Chiba "If they didn't then things would've gotten worse for everyone…"
Rukia crosses her arms "How so? What was actually going on when Sugaya and the guys kidnapped you?"
Chiba covers himself with his blanket "Well… do you remember that girl I told you about last year… Kanada?"
Rukia nods "That creepy girl that stalked you?"
Chiba nods "She asked me out when I was with the guys… when were out she started dissing the e class and I was about to snap… Sugaya knows that if I snap it's going to hell… so his plan to stop me was to shut me down…"
"By… kissing you?"
He sinks in his blanket "That was kinda the reason for why Sugaya and Hayami both did… and why I need to hide me neck and collarbone…"
Rukia pulls his blanket struggling "Ryuu stop hiding!"
"Never!"
Rukia sighs "How are you so strong?!"
Chiba smirks feeling her let go "From carry the weight of my sins and this family."
Rukia starts ticking him "Stop avoiding the topic!"
Chiba starts laughing kicking the blanket and trying to kick her "Nee- Nee-san! St- stop! I-"
"You gonna really tell me what else happened and stop hiding!"
Chiba catches his breath face stuff flushed "I hate you…"
Rukia pulls him up "Yeah but you love Hayami and Sugaya. So why did Hayami kiss you the first time?"
Chiba bites his lip "Nakamura and our classmates locked me and Hayami in a room alone… the only way we'd be able to get out was……"
Rukia squeals "Really!! So Sugaya kissed you to calm you down, Hayami kissed you to get out of being trapped with you, and both at them?"
Chiba "…to stop a murder……"
Rukia pulls his shirt "It wouldn't be that passionate if they didn't like you though."
Chiba blushes "That's- Sugaya's really aggressive-"
"Okay so Sugaya left marks on your neck and collar, how did Hayami kiss you that time?"
Chiba tugs his bangs "T-tongue…"
Rukia squeals "Really?! And?!"
Chiba sinks "And Karma said that was enough stopping us… I… haven't been actually able to look at Sugaya or Hayami since…"
Rukia pushes his bangs back "Ryuu… how did you actually feel when they did…?"
He averts his gaze and mumbles "I guess I… kinda sorta… liked it…"
She lights up "I knew it!"
He shifts uncomfortable "Can you let go of my bangs… I don't like feeling this… exposed…"
Rukia smiles softly "No… Ryuu… if you want things to be good again with Sugaya and Hayami… you need to let yourself be vulnerable and let them see you're emotions. You need to understand them too… Ryuu I'm serious. If either of them did that in a more casual situation… what would you do…"
He's silent not wanting to think about it.
Rukia smirks pinning her brother's bangs back "Well?"
His eyes dart around the room as he turns red "Well I um- I'd- Goodnight."
She laughs "We sure we're related?"
Chiba laughs nervously "Dunno? I mean we don't really look alike aside from dark hair?"
"Yeah that's the only thing us four have in common."
He smiles a little "And none of us are good at romance stuff…"
Rukia "Excuse you? You and Tadashi suck at romance stuff. Senna's still a kid and doesn't really get that stuff yet. I'm an expert!"
Chiba pouts "Hey… I'm not that bad… I'm just… confused… I like Hayami… Sugaya just likes teasing me…"
Rukia sighs "Well they both like you. Why not go after both? It'd be a power OT3!"
Chiba groans "You're the worst."
Rukia looks at him "Ryuu you don't have any other options. Only me, Sugaya, Hayami, or one of our wonderful parents."
Chiba sends daggers "You're not seriously implying I ask dad about this, right?"
She picks up the small picture frame he had face down on his desk and looks at it "Ryuu… I know why me and you don't trust him to stay. But… I do want Senna and Tadashi to think we get along with him. Who knows? Maybe he changed…"
Chiba scoffs "Yeah sure."
Rukia looks at him "Why don't you think he changed?"
Chiba looks away "He almost missed Senna birthday that time remember. The only reason he came was because I hacked into the system and changed dates."
Rukia sighs and sit next to him "I kind of figured as much. Ryuu I understand where you are coming from. I understand that you don't trust our father and how much you love Sen. Enough with all this sappy shit, I think it's time you should know about Senna."
Chiba sits up abruptly "What about Senna?"
Rukia stands up "I think she should be the one to tell you. I will go get her."
Rukia walks out then a few minutes later comes back in with Senna who jumps towards Chiba.
Rukia "Now Senna tell Ryuu what you told me yesterday"
Senna looks at Chiba with a smile "Ryuu-nii! Guess what?"
Chiba smiled back "What?"
Senna smile's widen "I have a boyfriend and his name is Kazou"
He falters "You have a what now…"
Senna looks slightly confused "A boyfriend!"
He gets protective "What no. No no no no no. No boys are allowed anywhere near either of you."
Rukia "Ryuu… Ryuu you do know I'm dating Katsuki right?"
Chiba "Yes and I'm not happy about it. I've already come to an agreement with him though. Sen-chan you said Kazou-kun right?"
She nods "Yup! I love him!"
Chiba forces a smile that Rukia recognizes "Sen-chan… I don't think it's a good idea for you to start dating… you're only 7? Love is painful."
Senna smirks "Just cause you can't get a boyfriend doesn't mean I can't."
Rukia coughs covering her laugh.
Chiba "Hey! I can get a boyfriend if I wanted too!"
Rukia smirks leaning on his desk "Yeah Ryuu? Once you start dating Sugaya all of us will have boyfriends~"
Senna "Eh? Tadashi-nii has one too?"
Rukia shrugs "Wouldn't be surprised. Have you seen his room? Or him with Hitoko?"
Chiba thinks back to their conversation after his classmates intruded his house "Either way! Sen, I love you and want the best for you. Which is exactly why I think it's a bad idea for you to have a boyfriend…"
Senna pouts "Why not? You let Rukia-nee and Tadashi-nii have boyfriends! Plus you have a boyfriend and a girlfriend!"
Chiba flinches "What?! I don't have either! And I don't approve of them dating! None of you are allowed to date unless I approve of them or die."
Senna pouts again "How about all of us bring our boyfriends and girlfriend over for dinner tomorrow before Tou-san and Kaa-san leaves?"
Rukia thinks for a minute "That's actually not a bad idea."
Chiba "That's actually a very bad idea"
Rukia smirks "You didn't deny having a boyfriend and a girlfriend either"
Chiba tries to hide his blush in embarrassment finally realizing his mistake.
Senna gets off Chiba yawning grabbing Rukia's hand "Come read me a bedtime story Rukia-nee and goodnight Ryuu-nii"
Chiba "Hey we aren't done talking!! Nee-san at least close the door if you're gonna run out!!!"
He hears the two girls giggle as they run into Senna's room.
Tadashi passes his door holding a basket "Ryuu-nii do you know if the wash- Er? You good?"
Chiba groans throwing himself back "The washers open. My clothes are in the dryer. Can you close my door?"
Tadashi smirks "Thanks and sure."
He leaves and shuts the door leaving it cracked open.
Chiba growls "This house is a nightmare…"
He shoots part of the door to shut then at his light switch to turn off the light
Chiba sighs throwing his blanket over him 'What the hell are the girls thinking… Mom and Dad don't know Nee-san's dating, Tadashi's in the closet, Senna's way to young to date, and it's not like that with Hayami OR Sugaya… It's like I'm against dating either… I like Hayami and Sugaya's actually kinda cute and- WHAT AM I THINKING?!?!?! They're my best friends!!!!'
He sits up and hugs his knees "This's gonna end terribly for so many reasons…"
Next day
Chiba was completely silent and unable to look at Hayami or Sugaya.
Mimura "I get Sugaya, Okajima Chiba, Nakamura Hayami?"
Nakamura "I don't think having Okajima talk to Chiba is a good idea? Chiba's 100% ready to kill him."
Okajima nods "I'll talk to Sugaya. He's the only that won't kill me. Mimura you talk to Chiba. You have the best chance of surviving."
Mimura shivers "Alright… I guess… Nakamura handle Hayami?"
Skip to Rio and Hayami
Hayami storming away "Go away. I don't want to talk about it."
Rio following close "C'mon! You kissed Chiba. We have to talk about it."
Hayami comes to a complete stop turning to her. Her face slightly flushed "Rio. The kiss meant absolutely nothing. It was just to keep him from killing everyone. Now. Bring it up again. And it's the last thing you'll do."
Rio shivers 'I hope the boys are having better luck…'
Okajima and Sugaya
Okajima "Okay. You kissed Chibe yesterday and he hasn't spoken sense."
Sugaya scratches his cheek "It was purely platonic on my part. I didn't wanna hide a body."
"But you still like him don't you."
Sugaya smiles and looks at the sky "Chiba's my best friend. I just want him to be happy. He'll be happiest with Hayami once he accepts his feelings."
Okajima sighs "But what about you?"
Sugaya shrugs "As long as he's happy I'm okay…"
Chiba and Mimura
Mimura climbs up the tree "Chiba I get that you're yandere but you don't have to kill everyone."
Chiba's sitting at the very top with his gun "I won't kill everyone. Just the ones that deserve it."
Mimura sighs sitting on a branch close to Chiba "And who deserves it?"
He doesn't hesitate in his answer "Karma, Nakamura, Okajima, Nee-san, father, Kazou, Sugaya, and Hayami. Oh and Korosensei but I need different bullets."
Mimura jolts "Wait what bullets do you have?!"
Chiba looks confused "Just paintball for now?"
Mimura sighs "Okay… wait for now? And who the hell is Kazou?"
Chiba growls "My baby sisters boyfriend. She's way too young for dating! I'm gonna kill that bastard as soon as I find out who that brat is!"
Mimura sweats "Ah ha? And when would that be…?"
Chiba stabs his knife into the tree alarming Mimura when it goes through
Chiba "Tonight. My siblings decided to their boyfriends over for dinner. I get to kill at least three people~"
Mimura scared "CHIBA THATS A RUBBER KNIFE WHAT THE FUCK?!?!"
He smirks "It's happening."
Mimura sighs "Well frame the deaths in Okajima deal?"
"Deal!"
Mimura "So you bringing Hayami or Sugaya?"
Chiba sends a death glare. His bangs moved just enough for Mimura to see only bloodlust.
Mimura clings to a branch shaking "Eek! Control your bloodlust you Damn Yandere!!"
Chiba blushes "I'm not a yandere!"
"Yes you are!! Now put down the gun and talk to me! I needs know what's going on with you!"
Chiba drops his weapons letting the fall slightly down "………"
Sorry for the delay on this chapter. It's because of me. These past few weeks for me have been a living hell. I have 2 funerals to go to and one of them was the only person in my family who cared about me. My family really just surpassed the toxic limit. This guy I was dating used me just so I can take his virginity. I had to have recently fight my step dad so he wouldn't rape me. My friend got exposed and a family member of hers died all in the same day. Then 2 of my other friends are going through the same exact thing but it's like gender swap. I should be good by next month though. I'll try working on the chapters as much as I can.
Anyways I think this just might be our longest chapter yet. I hoped you all enjoyed it as much as me and Ship-the-ships-I-ship but mostly Ship-the-ships-I-ship did writing it.
