Chapter 14

No one's POV

"Alice-chan! Some Vestal students are here! They are causing problems with Volleyball club…" said the girl. Everyone looked at the girl, surprised. She was Chan Lee, Captain of volleyball team, who was panting slightly. "One of them was asking your name…" she added.

"What?!" exclaimed Dan. He looked at the rest of the members while Alice nodded and left the room with others following her. Keith sighed but followed reluctantly. He told Joe told inform student council about the 'intruders' and trudged behind the rest of them, taking his time.

Dan and Baron were the first to arrive at the scene, followed by Mira and Alice. There were already some students from other clubs trying to stop them including Fabia. Just as they reached the field, they saw Shadow punch Lync on the cheek, who fell down on his back while Shadow started laughing. Three more students were already lying down clutching their guts. The other members gasped.

"HEY SHADOW! Stop it!" shouted Dan as he ran towards him. Shadow stopped laughing and looked at Dan, who was running towards him. Everyone else watched with wide eyes as Dan reached Shadow and was about to punch him but…

"DAN!" shouted Alice, Baron and Mira. At this moment, Keith came and his eyes widened slightly as he saw Dan was about to punch but stopped.

The moment Dan heard his friends call out his name, he stopped. 'Dan, don't do anything rash…' he recalled what Shun had said. He was surely too angry now as he clenched his fist tightly.

"Too scared to punch? Is this school filled with cowards?" asked Shadow and laughed as Dan moved his fist away from Shadow's face. His laugh was soon cut off when he was thrown back and fell, face first, resulting into a bloody nose.

Everyone was surprised and gasped to see their School President standing beside Dan, his fist extended, giving an idea of who punched Shadow. Dan looked at Shun, shocked, "…Shun?"

"You dare come in our property and insult our students?" asked Shun, his voice filled with malice. He pulled his fist by his side, clenching. It was obvious that he was resisting throwing a punch again while Shadow groaned in pain, holding his nose.

Hydron smirked. "Well, if it isn't Kazami…" he said and ran his hand through his hair. Alice, Mira, Baron and Dan helped the student who were on the floor and told their group members to carry them to infirmary.

"I suggest you apologize to our students, NOW" stated Shun, without showing any emotion towards Shadow but others knew better that their president is angry. Shadow was standing now, with his hand on his nose, grunting something.

"What is going on here?" Everyone turned to see their Principal who just entered the scene. "Shiori-sama…"

"Shadow, Hydron, Dan and Shun, to the office, now" stated Shiori and left. The said students followed her to the office. The service club glanced at each other and sighed. Dan gave the 'what-did-I-do?' look while the others shrugged. "You should go" said Alice, giving a knowing look towards Dan and he nodded and left. 'Why did they even come here…?' thought Alice.

Shiori sighed as she saw Shadow's face and bloody nose. She sat at her desk and looked them each. "Shun?" she asked, questioningly.

"Shiori-sama, these Vestal students were causing ruckus there and even injured some of our students. So, I had to take 'measures'. I apologize if I had gone too far" said Shun and bowed. Shiori raised her eyebrows.

"So, you were the one who punched him?" asked Shiori. 'I thought it was Dan…' she thought. Shun nodded.

"Shiori-sama, he was just defending!" exclaimed Dan while Shiori looked at him as if contemplating something.

"Hmm… Hydron and Shadow, you were not summoned here to do this" stated Shiori while Dan and Shun glanced between Shiori and the two Vestal students. 'summoned…?' they thought.

"We didn't mean to cause such a ruckus. I apologize, Shiori-sama" said Shadow and bowed. "Yes. We were just passing by before coming here and played some volleyball with the team…" explained Hydron.

"I see… Well, Hydron, I received a call from you father and said he'll be sending you to apologize for your 'recent' behavior with our students… Shun, Dan, you can go now" said Shiori while they bowed and left. Shiori sighed. She just returned from an urgent business and then she witnesses this. 'Student's these days…' she thought as she looked at the Vestal students and sighed. She started, "So…"

"I just saved you from detention, you know" said Dan as they left office. Shun glanced at him, bored while walking beside Dan along the hallway.

"Did I say to save me, Dan?" asked Shun, sarcastically. "Talk about being ungrateful…" retorted Dan while Shun rolled his eyes at that.

"Don't you think I saved you first? If you had punched him, you should've been in detention now" Shun pointed out and smirked. Dan snorted, "Yeah yeah whatever…"

Just as they rounded the corner, they were bombarded with questions by their friends except Keith and Ace who were not there. Both Shun and Dan sweatdropped at their friends and replied, "Nothing special…"

Julie whined that she didn't witness the scene and wanted to see some action while Alice, Shun, Dan and Runo looked at her with eyebrows raised. Before any more talk progress, Shun called them.

"How about going back to work? I still have to complete some work" said Shun, tiredly. "Kaichou was taking a nap before Joe interrupted him, you know…" whispered Julie to Dan and Alice. Shun glared at her. "Oh yeah! I'll go right away and read that papers! Come on Runo!" exclaimed Julie and left with Runo, followed by Shun.

"Dan, Baron. Can you please check on the guys in infirmary? I wanted to go but-…" said Alice but Dan and Baron interrupted her. "Punishment?" They said, grinning while Mira smacked them on their head. "Where's brother…? Hey, we'll be in school for one more hour so we'll go together" muttered Mira and left to find Keith while others agreed.

"Stop teasing!" exclaimed Alice and turned to leave. Dan laughed and said, "Hey! It's rare you get punished so we are just having some fun!" while Alice shook her head at them and left.

Alice glanced around as she entered the student council office and saw Runo roll her eyes at Julie and said, "Do it yourself". Julie pouted. Ace and Marucho looked like discussing something and working on laptop while Shun was at his desk, reading something. He looked up at Marucho and said, "Marucho, we need to do something about the budget…"

"It's a good thing you are here, Alice! Please help me!" exclaimed Julie, fake tears in her eyes. "Uhh… Okay…" said Alice and smiled at Julie while Julie's eyes sparkled with joy. "Hey everyone!" greeted Alice.

"Hello Alice! Welcome..." greeted Marucho and smiled. "Ah. Welcome… glad to have your assistance" said Ace and nodded at Alice. "Alice, don't help her too much!" said Runo, pointing at Julie while Julie was busy dragging Alice towards her table and glared at Runo and Alice giggled. Alice suddenly looked up to see Shun was looking at her but then his eyes averted and shook his head.

Fifteen minutes later…..

"Thanks Alice! And your suggestion is good!" said Julie, smiling at Alice. Alice nodded, "You are welcome". She saw Marucho talking with Shun and went to Runo when Runo called her. Runo just told her to sit beside her but Alice said she would make some tea for them. Runo smiled gratefully while Alice prepared some tea.

A few minutes later, she handed Runo a cup. "Thanks!" said Runo while Julie took two cups of tea and went towards Marucho. "Oh, Thanks Julie!" said Marucho when she handed him a cup. Julie went towards her seat taking another cup in her hand and sat down. Ace looked at her as he thought she will serve him next.

"What?" asked Julie. "You ignored me last time" she said and shrugged while Ace glared at her. Alice giggled and went with the tray in her hands. "Here" she said and handed Ace a cup. "Thank you, Alice" he said.

"Here, Shun" said Alice and handed him a cup. He looked at her and "Hn"… She sweatdropped and proceeded to her seat when she heard "Thanks…" coming from. She smiled.

"Hey guys!" said Marucho gaining everyone's attention. He continued, "Well… since I had told you guys before exam that if you guys give all your best in exams, I'll arrange an outing… And seems like everyone did their best! So, I can arrange it this weekend if you want…"

"SURE! YAY! You are a sweetheart, Marucho!" exclaimed Julie. "He sure is!" agreed Runo and smiled while Marucho blushed slightly at the compliment from girls. Julie ran towards him and squeezed him in a hug. Runo giggled while Alice interrupted Julie who seemed excited.

"Julie! He needs to breath!" exclaimed Alice. Ace and Shun sweatdropped and thought 'Poor boy…', looking at Marucho whose face was turning blue. "Oops! Sorry!" Julie apologized and let go of Marucho. He exhaled, relieved.

"Alice, please inform Dan and the others about this" said Marucho. "Sure, Marucho. Thank you!" said Alice and smiled at him.

"Are you sure you'll handle everything, Marucho? If you need assistance, ask for help anytime" said Shun while Marucho smiled at him and thanked him.

"I'll tell the details later. I'll be leaving now! Kato is waiting outside… See ya guys!" said Marucho and left.

"Alice, go to the store room, the one in the corner of library and bring the files tagged from last two years of first, second and third year" said Shun as he stamped 'Rejected' on the paper he was working on. Alice looked at him and nodded while he rubbed his eyes and sighed. "Okay. I'll be right back" she said and left.

Alice trudged through the hallway and saw Ren. He smiled and greeted her. "Yo, Alice!" he said. Alice smiled, "Hi Ren! I heard you and Fabia are together again! It's great news!" she said, happily. Ren blushed slightly at her sentence.

"What are you saying?!" he retorted. Alice chuckled. "I mean, it's nice you both are talking with each other again… patched up…" she said and laughed at Ren's expression. Ren cleared his throat.

"Well… I hadn't seen her cry like that and I was even surprised she apologized. It's a great change, I must say… Well, she's having some problems with the Kazami's followers…" he said, referring to Shun's fan girls. Their conversation was interrupted when…..

"Hey, Alice! Ren, weren't you going to practice basketball? You even ditched me for it and said it's urgent rather than helping me" said Fabia and crossed her arms.

"I'm going… just greeting Alice. And that gardening thing you were doing was boring… See ya later, girls" he said and left, waving his hand. Fabia huffed. "No, it's not!" she retorted while Alice giggled.

"Anyway, I heard you are also under punishment… But you seemed to be enjoying" said Fabia. "Yeah! Aren't you enjoying? It's fun to watch others… their friendship and when they are having fun, don't you think so?" asked Alice and chuckled. Fabia smiled. She had realized the difference between them and she was glad that she can be friends with her… well… sort of…

"Oh no! I need to go to the store room! See ya!" said Alice and left waving her hand while Fabia left chuckling.

Store room…

"I think this is it…?" muttered Alice as she glanced around the slightly darkened room. She walked inside, glancing at the big shelves and cramped space. The room was filled with papers and files with some other stuff like boxes, folders and stationery which looked arranged orderly but seemed like an old stuff as there was some dust on them.

"Doesn't anyone come here?" she said and saw the 'First year' written on one of the shelf. Just as she went towards it, she heard a sound like 'THUD!' which was followed by darkness.

"Eh?" she glanced back at the door and shrugged. 'It's just the door…' she thought. There was enough light coming from the window at the corner, which was closed but due to the shadows of shelves, the light was restricted to reach the half side of the room. She inspected the year list, squinting her eyes a little then took the ladder as she saw the torch on the upper shelf. She climbed up the ladder which squeaked under her weight and reached the torch, extending her hand a little. At the same time she failed to notice that someone opened the door and came inside, followed by the noise of the door closing again.

'Thud'… distracted from the noise, she glanced at the door and lost her balance, resulting to her fall…

"AHHH…!"
