Chapter 8: Dried Squids, Amusement Parks, and Terror
Morning
In Michael's apartment he was slowly sipping tea with his pet Mochi enjoying their day off from work. After with what happened the other day he needed a little me time all to himself.
"So Mochi what do you want to do today?" Michael sighed happily as Mochi simply shrugged his shoulders.
"I know its so peaceful and nothing will ever get in the way of that." Michael smiled in pure bliss, "Being a tutor is kind of fun because of the pay but is pretty hard work, I'm so glad its just a nice day to unwind."
Suddenly the doorbell was rung.
"I wonder who that is?" Michael walked up to the door to see through the camera installed to see as a peephole. His face paled after seeing the grinning Katsuragi. He quickly locked the door with it's chain lock and shushed Mochi.
"Hello anybody home!?" Katsuragi shouted.
'I won't let my peace slide without a fight!' Michael sighed as he went back to the living/kitchen room to see that Mochi wasn't sitting on his pillow and was actually undoing the door's lock.
"Noooo!" Michael silently whispered as the door busted open revealing a grinning Katsuragi with her hand son her hips.
"Mochi you traitor!" Michael exclaimed as Katsuragi suddenly pounces him and glomps him onto the floor while mounting him. She blushes while grinning to the flustered teen under her.
"Aww I was too late you don't seem to have your morning wood." Katsuragi whined.
"That's your reason for coming!?" Michael screamed then looked over to Mochi, "Mochi please help me." Michael cried to the monkey, but the small baby monkey was busy reading a newspaper while randomly flipping through pages of it.
'That liar he can't read!' Michael trembled.
"Now that I'm here and alone with you I can get my way or should I say you could your way with me." Katsuragi cooed as she grabbed Michael's hand and puts it to her slim waist.
"W-wait please I'm still shaken after you just attacked me, you have to get off." Michael tried grabbing the girls waist but accidentally grabs her rear and flicks her undergarments off a littl.
"Oh Michael-kun I didn't know you were this lewd." Katsuragi grinned.
"No that was an accident I have to stop this before its too late." Michael panicked.
"But its starting to get so good, I have to keep going." Katsuragi smiled unzipping Michael's hoodie.
"You need to stop." Michael tried to push the girl off but accidentally grabs her breasts earning a moan from the girl.
"Oh Michael-kun!" Katsuragi moaned.
'This can't get any worse than it is already.' Michael gulped trying to stop this lewd scene until knocks were heard from the door.
"Michael-kun it's me Asuka." Asuka knocked.
'Gotta stay quiet and remain calm or I'll get caught like this.' Michael gasped until a few pattering of feet were heard. Taking a look he saw Mochi about to unlock the door once again.
"Please no." Michael teared up comically as Mochi nods and opens the door slamming it wide open. Much to his horror Michael didn't just see Asuka by herself but also the other 3 girls too. Asuka's reaction was red as she grew furious and embarrassed by walking into the scene as Ikaruga shook her head in disappointment.
Hibari really couldn't show an emotion since Yagyuu covered her eyes and gave Michael a dark look. It seems as though it was a close call before he tainted Hibari's pure mind with his current action.
"This is so not what it looks like." Michael explained realizing he still had one hand on Katsuragi's breasts and pulled it back.
"Aww but I thought it was." Katsuragi cooed cuddling up to Michael's chest.
"Please stop your making me look like the pervert." Michael whispered trying to recover his calm demeanor. He then looks up to see that both Yagyuu and Hibari were gone without a trace.
"Where did Hibari-chan and Yagyuu-chan go?" Michael asked.
"They left due to this *cough* scene and Yagyuu-san did mumbled a few things on your filthy perverted ways." Ikaruga coughed.
"But I was trying to avoid that." Michael groaned.
"Michael-kun..." Asuka glared at the teen with red eyes.
"Wait please here me out." Michael pleaded as Katsuragi hugged around Michael's neck.
"Grr!" Asuka grew more angry.
"I guess this is it for me huh I better take my death as a man." Michael sighed looking up then sighed, "Or I could run like a coward and live for another day." Michael quickly broke from Katsuragi and used a smoke bomb to escape.
"Damn he got away!" Asuka growled.
"Katsuragi-san why were you here alone with Michael-kun?" Ikaruga sighed.
"No reason just came to give him a dose of my old fashioned sexual assault is all." Katsuragi smiled and slowly dressed herself but looked a little annoyed at the interruption, 'Damn why did it have to happen when I was getting so close too?'
The Next 3 days later
After the mix signaled scene the other day Michael was able to return home with no problem but had to return to work. He had received many glares from the girls (except Hibari unaware of what happened and Katsuragi who kept grinning and flirtatiously blowing kisses at him).
As 3 days passed, In the training grounds Michael still instructed the girls in their training along with Kiriya-sensei as they trained in their shinobi transformations. Even through their current anger at him the girls still listened to his orders all for except Yagyuu who ignored Michael completely and listened to Kiriya-sensei only. This concerned the ninja to which he tried asking the others for help. But weighing on how they are pissed at him he turned to Katsuragi as his second choice.
"Katsuragi-san I want to ask you something." Michael began as he walked to the blonde girl.
"Oh what a good boy you decided to ask politely." Katsuragi hiked up her skirt revealing her panties.
"That's not it." Michael slapped the girls' hand away from her skirt.
"Hmph! then what do you want?" Katsuragi pouted while crossing her arms now disinterested in what Michael had to say.
"I want to ask you about Yagyuu, she seems to be ignoring me whenever I come over to her house and teach her and she completely ignores whatever I say or doesn't even bother to invite me in at all, So I was wondering if you could give me any advice about her." Michael whispered.
"Oh so you want to get through her cold exterior huh well then just take me to a ramen restaurant and I'll explain the rest." Katsuragi chuckled.
"Why do we have to do that?" Michael sweatdropped.
"If you don't need my advice you can ask Asuka or Ikaruga for help." Katsuragi crossed her arms behind her head. Michael opened his mouth about to say something until a shuriken was thrown at his feet near him. He looked back to see a smiling Asuka with many ninja tools in her hands.
"Oh I'm sorry Michael-kun I was aiming for the target behind you." Asuka smiled with a pair of yandere eyes.
"Asuka-san are you okay?" Michael gulped then glares behind his back and pulled out a kunai to block an incoming blade to the neck. He looked to see Ikaruga with her head down.
"Ikaruga-san what are you doing?" Michael pushed the girl back.
"My apologies I thought you were another training dummy so I thought about cutting you down to size quickly." Ikaruga smiled with the same pair of yandere eyes as Asuka.
"You have second thoughts on taking me to get ramen now?" Katsuragi asked.
"Yeah." Michael sighed as a furious green and blue aura covered Asuka and Ikaruga stood behind him holding their respective weapons.
Evening
"*Slurp*!" Katsuragi finished her fifth bowl of ramen and sighed in relief, "Man this stuff is the best!" As he promised Michael took the girl out to the restaurant but soon regretted it as the girl slowly ate everything costing him most of his money.
"How can you eat so much?" Michael sweatdropped.
"Oh its because I train so much that I eat too much to burn it off again." Katsuragi explained.
"Okay back to the task at hand, I want to know how to get the bad blood away from me and Yagyuu." Michael began the conversation.
"Well she hated it when you were about to take me at your home and Hibari was about to see the scene with her own eyes." Katsuragi laughed.
"But you started it." Michael growled.
"I know but it was fun seeing your cute face tremble in fear." Katsuragi giggled.
"Why do you hate me?" Michael sighed scratching his head.
"Hehehe!" Katsuragi laughed, 'This is going well maybe if I were to toy with him a little more than I could finally get him to myself for a while before the others make their move.'
"Katsuragi-san I still need help." Michael frowned.
"Oh yeah, well Yagyuu is really protective of Hibari and will protect from any threats at all costs so she can be really unforgiving to those who do indecent acts in front of her." Katsuragi explained.
"I see so what happened the other day must have gotten her to hate me." Michael looked down saddened.
"But there is one thing she does love." Katsuragi explained as Michael leaned in, "Amusement Parks and Rollercoasters."
"Really it does have entertainment so I can understand but I don't know of any amusement parks around here." Michael rubbed his chin.
"Its okay because I do." Katsuragi grinned, "And speaking of tickets I have these." Katsuragi handed Michael the tickets.
"When did you get these?" Michael asked.
"Not important! I have a second ticket and will tell Yagyuu to come see you there this weekend." Katsuragi smiled.
"Really?" Michael smiled.
"Yeah so don't worry about I-!" Katsuragi was pulled into a hug.
"Thank you Katsuragi your the best!" Michael gave a happy smile as Katsuragi blushed and grinned.
"Don't worry about it." Katsuragi then hid a mischievous smirk.
2 days later
Outside the current amusement park Katsuragi suggested Michael waited for Yagyuu wearing his usual day clothes. He was impressed by Katsuragi's selection the park had many rides huge enough to satisfy the whole of the city. The bigger the rides the bigger the chance Michael can befriend Yagyuu and cool things off with her.
"Hey Mochi?" Michael called out to the monkey hiding in his hair.
"Are you sure you don't wanna just wait home?" Michael was worried the baby monkey will run away like before he arrived to the crowded city.
Mochi nods eagerly wanting to enjoy the rides with his master and friend.
"Okay but I wonder what's taking her so long?" Michael looked up at the sky.
"Hey Michael-senpai!" Hibari's voice was heard.
"Hibari?" Michael looked over to the voice's origin to see a waving Hibari, she was currently wearing a pink long sleeved top with blue shorts and pink sandals while carrying a pink purse. Wow she really loved the color pink doesn't she?
"Hi Michael-senpai!" Hibari ran to the teen smiling.
"Oh Hibari-chan how are you doing?" Michael smiled.
"Hibari is doing great senpai." Hibari stated, "Hibari didn't know you were coming like me and Yagyuu, were you given a ticket from Katsu-nee?"
"Wait a ticket that means both you and Yagyuu were given one too?" Michael asked.
"Yeah." Hibari nodded.
'Katsuragi why are you doing this to me?' Michael cried in his mind.
"Well then since your here with Yagyuu-chan why not enjoy the day together then." Michael said.
"Yeah Hibari loves that idea!" Hibari pumped her fist in the air.
"But where is Yagyuu-chan though?" Michael looked around.
"I've been here the whole time." Yagyuu stood behind Michael with her umbrella opened. She wore a short sleeved black shirt with a white skirt.
"Oh Yagyuu-chan!" Hibari ran to the girl.
'Was she really there the whole time, I guess I should've kept my guard up.' Michael sighed.
"Yagyuu-chan guess what we're going to play with Michael today!" Hibari giggled.
"Okay but be wary of anything dangerous." Yagyuu explained then glared at Michael.
'She really does dislike me.' Michael thought.
"Well lets go!" Hibari ran inside the park with a great pep in her step.
"Shall we?" Yagyuu said in a cold tone.
"Um yeah..." Michael sighed walking inside by Yagyuu's side.
Upon entering the many booths and rides overwhelmed Michael as he awed in amazement. This day could be exciting after all but he had to remember his mission he needed to make friends with Yagyuu no matter what. But the sight of the rides began to distract him.
"Hey Yagyuu-chan! Michael-senpai lets go!" Hibari ran to the two and pulled them both towards a booth. The game was that if you wanted to win a stuffed animal then you must throw a ball at a couple of bottles.
"I want the stuffed Rabbit!" Hibari pointed to the large rabbit near the wall.
"Well then miss you have to hit these 6 bottles without missing one to get it." the carney explained as he set down 6 baseballs. Hibari paid the man and grabbed all of the balls and pitched all 5 directly at the bottles knocking them down.
"Good job Hibari-san." Yagyuu smiled.
"Just one more you can do it." Michael nodded.
"Right here I go!" Hibari threw the last ball at the last set of bottles but as it made contact the bottles bounced back the ball like nothing happened.
"Oh I'm sorry miss you missed so you get nothing." the carney smiled.
"Awww!" Hibari fell to her knees about to cry.
"Its fine Hibari we'll just buy one." Yagyuu smiled comforting the girl.
"B-but I wanted to win it." Hibari sniffled.
"Hey what was that just now?" Michael asked the carney in a calm manner.
"What?" the fat carney asked rudely.
"I saw the way the ball hit the last set of bottles they didn't even shake a little once they got hit." Michael said as his personality changed to his ninja type, "You tricked her so I think you should give her the prize."
"Look kid all I told your girl friend here is that she has to do was knock down the bottles to win but she didn't so she doesn't win, so I either suggest you leave before I start to rough you up." the carney smirked.
"Let's just leave." Yagyuu sighed picking Hibari up.
"No don't move." Michael ordered in a cold tone.
Yagyuu stopped in her tracks obeying her superior suddenly feeling a cold chill go down her spine.
"Hey set me up." Michael stared down the man and pulled out a large amount of yen to pay for the game, "I will pay 50,000 yen for just one game if I win I get everything in your booth and get my money back but if you win you keep all this money understand."
"Oho! so you want to avenge your friend lets see if you got skill then." the carney grabbed the money and gave Michael 6 baseballs. Michael was able to easily knock down the 5 bottles with ease. Once it came to the last one the carney smirked thinking he had won.
"Michael-kun you can do it!" Hibari cheered as Yagyuu simply stared at the teen with some interest.
"Okay kid here is the last one try and win okay?" the carney mocked.
"I will but I won't use this ball." Michael crushed the ball in his hand with ease and dropped it.
"What the hell are you doing?" the carney gasped.
"I'll use this." Michael pulled out a blue ball Mochi loved to play with and threw it at the last set of bottles knocking them down thus winning, "Where's my prize?"
"Your not getting anything you didn't use the baseball to knock down the last set of bottles.
"You didn't say anything about me using them you just said I could just knock down the bottles." Michael sighed, "And I figured out your trick in one of the baseballs you just removed the cotton around it making it very light and you even made the outer skin soft so it was soft it made it impossible to knock down the bottles it was a clever plan since it would be impossible to knock down at least one set of bottles."
"Why you!" the carney growled.
"No my prize and money please." Michael held his hand out.
"No way that's absurd why would I do something like that you freak!?" the carney growled. As Yagyuu was about to handle things Michael puts his hand up to stop her.
"Okay then just do me a favor and look into my eyes then." Michael stared at the man with cold eyes.
'Abyssal Eyes...' Michael's empty eyes gleamed with a white flash as the struck the man and sent him into unconsciousness he fell back with his eyes wide open completely terrified.
Michael went inside the booth and got his money back and collected all the stuffed animals in a wheelbarrow. He closed the man's eyes and said, "Your lucky I was lenient or I would have sent you into a permanent coma with that evil ninja technique next time learn who you try to trick baka."
Michael then pushed the wheelbarrow to Hibari and said, "Here you go Hibari-chan your prizes."
"Really?" Hibari gasped.
"Yep." Michael nodded.
"Thank you Michael-senpai!" Hibari hugged Michael tightly nearly choking him then went back to her new array of stuffed animals. Yagyuu watched the girl in happiness until Michael approached holding something in his hands.
"Yagyuu-chan here's your prize." Michael pulled out a small light blue squid.
Yagyuu's eyes widened and seemed hesitant to take it but Michael urged her to have it.
"Take it you deserve it for trying to cheer up Hibari." Michael gave her the stuffed squid and patted her shoulder.
"Thanks." Yagyuu looked away.
"Heh." Michael grinned, "No problem."
"Hey guys lets go do the rides!" Hibari cheered as she ran ahead to the large rollercoaster.
"Whoa that's huge." Michael gasped in awe.
"U-um right." Yagyuu trembled at the height of the ride.
"Are you okay?" Michael asked as Yagyuu gulped and walked ahead ignoring the teen, "I'll take that as a yes then."
Before the rollercoaster looked big but once you've gotten closer to it, the thing was huge in person. As they joined in the line Michael set aside all of Hibari's belongings to the side as the trio entered the rollercoaster ride in the top seats.
"This will be so much fun!" Hibari cheered sitting to the right side of Michael.
"Yeah." Michael nods sitting between Hibari and Yagyuu.
"Aren't you excited Yagyuu-chan?" Hibari asked as Yagyuu trembled even more sinking into her seat.
"U-um. Y-y-y-yes." Yagyuu trembled in fear.
"Please put all feet and arms in the ride do not try to stand or unbuckle your seat as the ride commences, and remember HAVE FUN!" the ride immediately launched itself upwards and downwards and to loop to loop.
Both Michael and Hibari laughed in fun as Yagyuu trembled even more, now afraid than ever. As the ride took a violent shake she latched onto Michael's arm to keep herself straighten but showed trouble with it by herself. Until Michael's arm wrapped around her waist keeping her closer. Yagyuu blushed and looked up to see Michael smiling down at her and focused himself back on the ride.
Yagyuu instead of pushing away nuzzled closer to Michael for stability not fearing the ride as much as she should. Becoming a little drowsy on the fast ride she slowly closed her eyes falling asleep in Michael's safe embrace.
Evening
In Yagyuu's mind she was relaxed than before feeling as something was lifting her up into the heavens as her eyes stayed closed. She wondered what she slept on since it was warm and light too. She even heard another person of snoring too as she opened her eyes she saw a round circular room made of glass as the outside looked a bright orange as the sun began to set. She was now in one of the Ferris wheel rides
"Your awake." Michael voice chimed as Yagyuu took notice of the older teen who simply smiled at her.
"What happened?" Yagyuu asked.
"You fell asleep on the ride and others feared that you passed out so we had to go through many tests to see if you didn't faint or stuff." Michael shrugged, "So I decided to carry you around the whole day while playing with Hibari she wouldn't stop fretting over the whole ride thing so we only took booth games."
"I'm sorry for troubling you." Yagyuu bowed.
"No worries and besides it felt nice letting you use my lap as a pillow." Michael smiled as he petted Hibari's sleeping head, "Look Yagyuu I get that you must not like me and all but I just want to let you know that whatever you feel towards me won't change how I feel about you."
"Huh?" Yagyuu questioned.
"You may despise me for showing you that sight back at my place and I would too if I were in your shoes to protect Hibari, but the thing is I want to protect you, Asuka-san, Ikaruga, Katsuragi and Hibari with my life so I won't lose anyone precious." Michael smiled turning to face a blushing Yagyuu.
"I don't hate you." Yagyuu sighed.
"Really?" Michael brightened up.
"I was just angry at you, please don't say I would hate someone just over one thing being mad is different." Yagyuu sighed.
"If you were just mad then I'm glad because Yagyuu-chan I like you." Michael began as Yagyuu blushed furiously, "As a friend." Yagyuu nodded while covering her mouth hiding a blush from the teen.
"Well then I guess we'd better get ready to leave." Michael stood up and carried Hibari on his back as Yagyuu picked herself up. As that ride ended the trio left the amusement with happy faces even Yagyuu who was evidently afraid of rides and laces like this but now has grown to conquering that fear if she has someone reliable by her side.
"Wait where's Mochi!?" Michael screamed as they boarded the Sea Bus.
In the wheelbarrow Mochi's head popped out the stuffed animals and gave a light yawn.
"Never mind found him." Michael sweatdropped.
The next day
In the classroom Michael was about to eat some melon bread he got from the bakery this morning on the desk he usually sat on for work, until someone unusual arrived to his side.
"Oh Yagyuu-chan is something wrong?" Michael asked.
Yagyuu nodded and walked up to the desk and handed Michael a dark blue bentou box.
"What is it?" Michael asked.
"It's for you, I made it." Yagyuu explained.
"Really thank you." Michael bowed to the girl before opening it to see some rice, eggs and a few dried squid tentacles.
"Do you like it?" Yagyuu asked.
"Of course since you gave it to me I already appreciate the effort in it." Michael took one of the dried squid tentacles and began chewing on it. As Yagyuu watched in happiness not realizing the other girls staring.
"Did Yagyuu-san give Michael-kun lunch?" Asuka gasped.
"I think so." Ikaruga smiled, "I'm happy for them."
"Yeah I'm so glad." Katsuragi trailed off feeling a little disappointed her plan didn't work like she wanted it to.
"Me too." Asuka gave a smile but couldn't help but feel sad about the sight of Michael having fun with somebody else.
"Hey everyone look what Hibari did!" Hibari ran to the group of ninja while holding a distraught Mochi who wore a white bunny suit and red ribbon.
"M-Mochi!" Michael cried out to the baby monkey but his mouth was slurred for some reason, "I think the tentacles are sucking on my tonsils."
"Hibari found him in Hibari's prize of winnings!" Hibari hopped up holding the tearing monkey.
'That's karma Mochi that's karma.' Michael continued eating his given lunch not caring for the monkey anymore.
