Chapter 10

Shun's POV

"I need that threat letter Alice got. You have it, right?"

'Why is he asking me that suddenly…?' I thought. And it actually surprised me that Keith-senpai suddenly got here and asking me directly about the note. He looks kind of serious though.

I raised an eyebrow at him. "Why?" I asked, monotonously. I'm not in the mood to talk to anyone. He looks like he is thinking something what to answer. It's not his style. Now, I'm suspicious… Something is up. And I'm sure that he is not going to tell me anything. I frowned.

"Nothing… just investigation…" said Keith-senpai and sighed. Now, that makes me sure that something is really up. I raised an eyebrow at him. "Investigation…? Why so sudden?" I asked.

"Well, that's the only evidence to reach the culprit" stated Keith-senpai and shrugged. I had to roll my eyes at that. 'Isn't he stating the obvious?'… "ofcourse"

"What I mean is… why is it suddenly necessary to investigate? I'll come to the point. What's the matter, Keith-senpai?" I asked, intrigued. I have an inkling that something is going on. He gave me a plain look.

"That, I'll tell you later. Can't you trust you senior, Shun? Just give me the letter" said Keith-senpai and smirked. I sighed. He was just interacting with Alice a few minutes ago. Wait… she gave him the letter. Then… why is he here…? This is strange.

"Fine. On one condition though… you have to return it today before going home…" I said and smirked. I know he's up to something. I saw him glare at me when I smirked. Then he sighed.

"Alright" he stated. I pulled out the letter from the drawer and handed it to him. He went towards the door and said, "Aren't you angry with me…?". I raised an eyebrow at him. "Why would I be…?".

He smirked, "Well, Alice gave a letter to me and not you… And-…"

"Leave" I stated plainly. He left laughing. I sighed. 'That Keith!'

No one's POV

Keith frowned as he read the letter. 'Alice dear, The first one was just a fake threat but know your limits. Crossing your limits may cause your friends to harm. Here's the advice, stay away from student council'… He sweatdropped. 'What a stupid note… Seems like an amateur' he thought as he went towards his class.

"Here's the first note you wanted. And why are you here? It's your lecture time, I think…?" asked Keith handing Alice the first letter. He has come to their club room as he had no lecture at the moment, to find Alice already there. Alice shrugged and smiled. Keith sighed.

Skipping classes was not new for Service club. It was already the last lecture of school hour. He pulled out the second letter and handed it to her. "I read both. And I came to a conclusion that it's written by the same person" he added.

Alice nodded, "I see…". She opened both the letters and looked closely. Keith raised an eyebrow at her. "It seems you already know who the culprit is" stated Keith as Alice kept inspecting the letter. She didn't answer. Instead, she sighed.

"No. Just an assumption…" she said and proceeded to open her bag while Keith watched her. Alice pulled out a thin book which had a designed cover. She brought the book closer to her face as she did with letters, inspecting it. Keith raised an eyebrow at her.

"Look at this, Senpai!" Alice exclaimed and showed him the open book. Keith saw that the ink in the letters and book match each other. He instantly took it to see the name but find none and the first few pages were torn. He frowned.

"Alice, whose book is this?" Keith asked. Alice looked at him. "I don't know…" she said. She sighed and continued, "I think we should stop investigating it, Senpai…". Keith's frown deepened.

"It said that I should stay away from student council. As long as I do that, my friends are safe…" she stated. Keith sighed. He knows that once she made a decision, she follows it. Keith took the letters and the book. He didn't ask any questions further.

"If you say so… And I'm not that dimwitted you know. I know you have a reason that's why you're not telling me. But once it gets extreme, don't expect me to back down" stated Keith, looking into her eyes, conveying that he is serious. He shook his head and proceeded towards the door.

Alice's eyes widened as she heard him. 'He knows! He knows that I have figured out the culprit! But he doesn't know who it is…yet'. She sighed. 'Well, I just have to follow the note, that's all… if that's what they want…'

Shun strolled through the hallway for two reasons… one for patrolling and two for searching Keith. 'Where's that guy?!' he thought as he walked towards the stairs leading to third floor. The floor was totally empty when he heard some whispers coming through the hall, as he had good hearing ability. He was going to call, when he heard the word 'letter'. He stiffened. He made his way towards the corner, without making noise and hid in the shadows. That's 'Ninja descendent' for you…

There were two people arguing, shun noted. What irked him was the word 'letter'. He knew that he should not be eavesdropping but hey! They were also violating the rules, ne…?

"Why don't you stop it? It will do no good!" said a male voice. Shun instantly noticed, who it was. Still, he stayed put.

"I'm saying it again! Mind you own business!" exclaimed a female voice. Shun's eyebrows furrowed. 'What are they talking about?' he thought.

"You're being selfish! She hasn't done anything bad to anyone! You did it again, don't you? Why are you doing it? Just for-.." he was cut off.

"She was getting what I want! I had no other way!"

"If someone gets hurt because of you, can you live with it?!"

"I… I… Just stay away from my business!" said the girl and left. Shun frowned. He sure has heard that voice. His eyes widened. 'Wait…! That voice! …Fabia Sheen?! So, she's the one who is behind all this…' he thought. To say that he was angry was an understatement. Before he could confront her, someone called him.

"I know you're here President…" said the person, smirking. "I heard it, Ren" said Shun, harshly before Ren could say anything. Ren sighed.

"I know that…" he said. "And I know she's wrong even though she's my friend…" he added, looking aside. Shun stared at him.

"So you're not defending her as a friend? That made it easy for me. What I want to know is the reason behind all this" Shun stated, expressionlessly. Ren knew that Shun was angry; still he kept it in check and he also knew that Shun is not the one to jump on conclusions and judge.

"Sorry, Shun. That I don't know… I was asking the same thing to her…" stated Ren. Shun noted that Ren was also angry to some point while Ren was angry because he thought he failed as a friend, he was angry at himself.

"Don't worry… I'll not confront her… Not yet anyway… I'm sure 'she' will understand" stated Shun and sighed. Ren's eyes widened slightly that Shun was infact talking about Alice, as Shun turned to leave.

"How can you say that…? You trust her that much…?" Ren blurted out. Shun turned his head a little and gave him a lopsided smile, surprising Ren. He walked again, saying, "That's how she is…"

"Oyi, Kaichou-sama" said Keith, taunting Shun. Shun sighed as he walked through the hallway, towards Student council room. He was thinking what he must do now. 'I should tell Alice… And then Mom…' thought. He noticed that Alice had skipped the last class. Well, that's nothing new for Service club.

"Stop calling me that. You know I don't like it" stated Shun while Keith caught up with him. "I know. Anyway, here's the letter" said Keith as he hand Shun the letter. What Shun said next made him speechless.

"Are you sure that's the only one letter?" Shun asked and glanced at Keith. Keith smirked. 'Smart one, Shun. But how did he know…?' he thought. "Why did you say that?" asked Keith.

"It'll be easy for me if you co-operate, Senpai" stated Shun while Keith stared at him. "Before you ask, I've figured out everything… well, not everything but still… And I know that she might be the one who told you not to tell me" Shun continued. Keith noticed that Shun's hands were clenched. But Keith's next words surprised Shun.

"That's how she is…" said Keith, smirking. Shun's eyes widened slightly, as he had said the same words to Ren. He should know better. Then… what's he doubting anyway. Shun exhaled.

"Hn. Where is she?" asked Shun, as Keith turned to leave. "I'll send her to your office. See ya" said Keith without turning around and waved. Shun went to his office, sighing. He thought, 'What a stubborn girl… but still…'
