Chapter 5 – Six Days, Six Girls.
Saturday, September 5th, 2009 – 7:30 AM
I wake up from my dream of eight days ago.
"Why was I dreaming about what happened on the 28th?" I ask myself.
I decide to just blow it off and get dressed, but don't have any idea where I'm about to go.
"Well, I guess I'll just wander aimlessly with Capt. today." I say.
I walk over to the door and slightly sense someone's presence. I roll out of the way just in time before the presence behind me tries to jump on me.
"Damnit, who is it this time?" I asked the unknown presence, as I'm facing the other way.
The presence tries to jump on me again, but I slide under the presence and see Mayucchi jumping over me.
"M-Mayucchi, what the hell?!" I exclaimed. "I was expecting Miyako or Nee-san, but not Mayucchi!"
Seeing that Mayucchi was detected, Mayucchi gives up and says "Aaaw, I failed Matsukaze."
"You can't give up that easily!" exclaims Matsukaze. "Go for another charge!"
"NOPE!" I exclaim, and slam the door shut.
I sigh and say "Well, looks like they didn't listen to me."
"Hey, little bro!" exclaims Nee-san.
"Not you too!" I exclaim back, and start to bolt out of the Shimazu Dorm.
"Wait, little bro! I only want to talk!" She yells as I'm trying to get out of the Shimazu Dorm.
I stop myself, turn around, and say "If you only want to talk, fine, but if you start making sexual advances; I'm out of here."
"Don't worry," she says with a straight face. "I just want to talk to you; nothing more."
"Alright, let's go." I said, and walk to the Shimazu Dorm kitchen.
"This would be a better talk in private; how about your room?" she asks.
"Sure, if you kick Mayucchi out; almost got sexually assaulted by her about two minutes ago." I say.
"Wait, Mayucchi tried to sexually assault you? Not Miyako?" She asked, surprised.
"Yeah; I was as surprised as you when I saw her face." I reply.
"Very well, I'll get Mayu-Mayu out." She says, and starts walking to my room.
"Hey Mayucchi, me and Yamato have to talk, get out of his room!"
Mayucchi appears and starts to walk off to the second floor, but stops herself after about two steps.
Mayucchi turns around and says: "If you make any move toward Yamato, I will NOT hold back…" she says in a serious and murderous attitude, and then walks off to the second floor.
"What has been with her recently?" Nee-san asks herself.
"Okay, Mayucchi's gone! You can get into your room now!"
I walk around the corner and into my room, where Nee-san is waiting for me.
I close the door and ask "Alright, what is it that you wanted to talk about?"
"Do you really intend to leave here if things don't change by next Friday Gathering?" she asks.
"Of course, I'm already nearing my limit with this; any more than a week longer and I'll snap." I reply.
"But what about me and the rest of the Kazama Family? Will you just abandon us?" she asks.
"You know, my father once said that a country is a collection of cities, which in turn is a collection of villages, and villages are a group of families that love each other, and I don't feel this way about Japan, as I don't want to leave you guys, and I still have people I want to protect here, but I'm losing all sense of protection and love, as a friend, for you five when you keep throwing yourselves at me." I say.
"B-But..." Nee-san stammers.
She throws herself at me, almost in tears.
"Please, don't leave me; I don't want to be here if you're not here either!" She exclaims.
"I've always loved you, since the time you confessed to me*, but I was scared that I was going to lose the one thing that I hold precious to me, and now that precious person wants to just walk away, and I just can't live with myself if you will leave Japan because of me!" she exclaims, crying the whole time.
I pat her head and say "First of all, it's not just you, and second of all, if you don't want me to leave, you better find a way to persuade them to stop acting like a harem."
Nee-san continues to cry and buries herself in my shoulder.
I lightly embrace her and say "Honestly, I don't feel anything for you anymore, but the greatest chance is for me to fall in love with you again is to keep me here in Japan, no?"
She stops crying after that sentence and look at me, saying "Please, please don't leave me."
"Now I can't promise you that." I said bluntly. "I can promise you that if you do manage to stop this harem, I will stay here and live like normal."
She sniffles and asks "Y-You won't l-leave me if the other girls change?"
"I won't leave, but I don't think that it will be an easy thing to do, as even Mayucchi is showing her darker side now." I reply.
I sit Nee-san down and start walk out of my room and soon find Capt. eating breakfast with Gen-san.
"Hey Capt. and Gen-san, how are you two doing?" I ask and open the refrigerator to get some breakfast.
"I'm doing okay, but what was Momo-senpai doing in your room?" they both ask.
"She just wanted to talk to me about something." I reply.
"Bah, there's nothing good to eat in the refrigerator." I say.
"I can cook you some breakfast." says Mayucchi, who appeared out of nowhere.
Normally, I'd be surprised at people appearing out of nowhere, but I've gotten used to it recently.
"No thanks, if you make it I'm worried it will have an aphrodisiac in it or something." I bluntly reply.
Mayucchi looks dejected and says "Okay…" and slowly walks off to the second floor.
"What was that about?" Capt. asks.
I tell him the story of what happened when I woke up today.
"She's acting more and more like Miyako, and one of them is enough." I say.
"If Gakuto heard you, he'd be extremely pissed off." Capt. replies.
"Yeah I know, but he'd take back the statement after a few weeks with the Kazama Harem." I say.
"You're probably right about that, but I don't understand why you don't just play with all of them." Capt. says.
"Capt., you're extremely lucky because you aren't sexually aware yet." I reply and head for the exit of the Shimazu Dorm.
"Well, I'll see you guys later; I'm just going to wander around and think."
"Sounds fun, can I come too?" Capt. asks.
"Err no, maybe later; there's some things I need to think about alone." I reply and close the door.
I head out to the Tama River banks to think about what Nee-san said.
"Hmm, what exactly should I do?" I ask my reflection.
My reflection doesn't respond to me, of course, but I ignore it and think about what I should do in case they really don't meet my expectations.
"Well, I can't go back on what I said; I just have to leave if they keep acting like a harem."
Suddenly, I feel a presence behind me.
"Seems like you're trying to think some things over." The voice says.
I turn my head and find Margit next to me.
"Oh, hey Margit and you're right about that." I say.
She sits down beside me, but keeping her distance, and asks "Do you mind if you tell me? I might be able to help."
"Well, okay, but you can't hurt me for what I'm about to say." I reply.
"If you hurt Chris in any way I'll-" She tries to say, but is cut off from me.
"Yeah I know, German Military is going to hunt me down and cook me for dinner, I get it already." I reply, annoyed.
"I haven't hurt her yet, but it's more or less her decision to hurt herself."
"Care to explain?" she asks.
"Alright, here goes nothing." I say "You know what a harem is, right?"
"No, care to explain?" she asks.
"Alright, a harem is when several girls, usually three or more, all share the same love interest, and on this occasion, it's all five girls of the Kazama Family sharing the same love interest; which is me." I reply.
"You mean Momoyo, Kazuko, Miyako, Yukie, and Chris?" she asks.
"You hit the nail right on the head." I reply. "It's been going on for about a month and a half now, and I'm at my limit already with this, and I said something that I kind of regret." I say.
"What is that?" she asks.
"I told them they have until next Friday to change their hostilities toward each other and for them to stop competing for my love, as I don't feel anything for either five of them." I reply.
"Humph, so I have to fight with Milady to get Yamato, eh?" she mutters to herself.
"What was that?" I ask.
"Nothing, carry on." She replies.
"I've already contacted my parents and they have no problem with it, and I will stay to my words, but I just hope they can stop this harem, because I'm having some second thoughts about this." I say.
She grabs my shoulders and exclaims "You can't leave! I love you!"
I stare at her, looking shocked and surprised.
"You what now?" I ask.
"I-I-I l-lov-ve y-you." She stutters out, almost as if it was the hardest thing to say in her entire life.
"Not you too…" I say, still shocked and surprised.
"I-I can't take it anymore! I want to be with you, no-one else!" she exclaims and tries to throw herself at me.
I run away and yell at my groin "This must be your doing, Sword of Kusanagi! Stop it damnit!"
I sprint at full speed to the Shimazu Dorm and slam the door shut, and start to breathe heavily from exhaustion.
"Yamato, what's wrong?" Capt. asks.
"Margit- Margit just.." I try to spit out.
I head for the kitchen and take a rest.
"What happened with Margit?" Capt. asks.
"I was sitting on the Tama River banks, thinking about my situation, when Margit shows up, and I decided to explain to her my situation, and then she confesses that she loves me! What in the hell is going on here!?" I exclaim.
Capt. chuckles and says "Looks like your harem grew to six members."
"This isn't F #$ing funny! It's just going to lower the already extremely low chances of the harem breaking up! I'm almost sure I'm leaving Japan now!"
After I said that, Capt. stops chuckling and looks dejected.
"Yeah.. I guess you're right…." Capt. finally says.
"Maybe you should go not leave, even if this keeps up, I mean, have you even thought of what it would be like here? All the girls would be depressed and won't want to play!"
I chuckle at that last sentence and say "You really are blind to genders, Capt. And no, I'm not the person to go back on my word, even if it is a terrible situation to where it seems like I'm being completely selfish."
"I figured as much, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to try." Capt. says.
I start walking off to my room when Capt yells "Not a good idea to go in there!"
I take his advice and go to exit of the Shimazu Dorm, where I find Margit waiting outside the door when I open it.
"Hey Yamat-" She tries to say.
"NOPE!" I yell and slam the door shut.
"Well, looks like I'm trapped here. Hey Capt., why shouldn't I go into my room?"
"Momo-senpai is having a meeting with the other four about something, probably about you leaving and how they can settle this dispute." Capt. replies.
"But why does it have to be in MY room?" I ask.
"Dunno, but it'd be best to stay away from there until they are done." Capt replies.
"Yeah, you're probably right about that." I said, and sit down in the kitchen to watch TV, waiting for them to get done with their meeting.
"Six members in this harem, and six days until I leave, eh? What irony, don't tell me I'll have seven girls in my harem tomorrow." I joke to myself.
