As the four students sprinted full speed away from the school, the three boys that trailed Kiyumi couldn't help but wonder
"WHERE THE HELL ARE WE GOING!" one of the two from the entrance finally screamed
"Just a little bit farther, then I'll explain everything" So they continued on, having to jump fences, dodge various obstacles and even climb through a very miniscule hole in a cement wall. When Kiyumi finally stopped running, Bakuyo and the other two could barely breathe.
"Okay…." Bakuyo tried to say between his gasps for air "What….are we….doing here?"
"Okay listen up, I can only explain this once. In approximately two and a half minutes, Toyama-chan and Hattori-san are going to come walking by here" she pointed up to the small bicycle road that ran from the school into the more rural area of the city "when they come by, I want you two to grab Hattori-san and drag him behind that tall bush so Toyama-chan can't see him. You have to cover his mouth"
"Kiyumi-chan, this is starting to sound almost…criminal don't you think?"
"Idiot, its not like we're going to kidnap him, we just need out of the way for a few moments. But you have to hold him still, if Toyama-chan catches on, we're busted."
"Right, but Kiyumi-chan, you are aware he is the Kendo team captain right? How do you expect us to subdue him?"
"That's up to you, but you better not mess it up or I won't even speak to you again" they both groaned, but nodded in defeat. Bakuyo was obviously disturbed by the plan thus far and was obviously nervous about his role in it. "Now, Bakuyo, that's where you come in"
"What are you talking about?"
"I need you to say…" she trailed off as she began to whisper in his ear. He reacted to her prepared lines with both embarrassment and confusion.
"You want to say that? Are you sure?"
"Trust me. It doesn't make sense to you, you're a normal guy. They are not normal, so this will work, trust me. This is how they communicate"
"You seem to know a lot about those two…." Bakuyo said, staring inquisitively at her
"What can I say, after a week of this nonsense, I decided to do some recon so I could make this whole plan….plus I may have had a bit of a crush on Hattori-kun a few years ago"
"Well that explains a lot"
"Shut up they're coming" the four of them crept closer to the biker trail as the pair finally approached their position. The wind blew softly and whirled the grass around them. The two students in charge of subduing the Kendo champ were sweating, but Kiyumi was just staring intently at her targets. They all took a deep breath, unplanned yet virtually in unison. "Here we go"
