I DON'T OWN ANYTHING BUT THE CHARACTERS I MADE UP!
Sanada- How did you do it? Somebody should have noticed you; the alarms should have gone off. How did you do it?
Sakuno- How did I do what?
Sanada didn't have any patience that morning since he'd hardly got any sleep at all. His glare hardened as he was about to slap her but she evaded again and this time she didn't just dodge, she fought back. She aimed for his solar plexus and got a direct hit causing him to fold over. All of the regulars were surprised and rushed over towards their friend pushing back Sakuno out of instinct. She was pushed to the ground but she didn't bother to get back up. She only stared at them as if she was bored while they asked him questions to see if he was alright. When Sanada answered that he was alright and they were satisfied, they turned towards Sakuno. They asked her why she had done that but she only got up and walked away.
Sakuno- It was self- defense. He was going to hurt me either way you look at it, so I did what my instinct was. You all had seen what he was about to do, am I really in the wrong? All I did was punch him but yesterday he tried to kill me, and you didn't even try to stop him, you were going to LET him kill me. Today you were going to LET him hurt me again. If anything, I don't need to explain myself to any of you people.
Sanada- Where do you think you are going to anyway? You are a part of this team, you are a regular…
Sakuno- As far as your concern is, I am excused.
Sanada- Hey you little brat come back here! If that was true I would have heard all about that already! I am not so stupid as to let…
Coach- Sanada! She is excused, and how can you talk to a lady like that! Especially one of her status! Do 20 laps NOW!
Everybody that had gotten there just then from getting changed, was surprised. They had never seen their coach act like that at all. He was always so calm and collected but he was yelling and cursing like a madman that everyone was afraid of him but the regulars were only a little freaked out. They were mostly even more curious about the girl but their thoughts were interrupted when the Principal came. The principal had tried talking to the coach but when the coach told him everything his face went bright red. He looked like he had a murderous intent for them. He whispered back something to the coach and went walking off to find the said girl. At that point, Yanagi had sneaked away and started following the principal without the coach even knowing. The regulars knew since they were all thinking of doing the same thing but knew that Yanagi would be the best at that sort of thing. When he had caught up, the principal was talking to Sakuno but the girl didn't look interested. He couldn't really hear much so he had decided to sneak up closer and what he heard was surprising.
Principal- Please, Ryuzaki-san, reconsider. I'll do anything that you want.
Sakuno- I'm not interested but then again, maybe I am…
Principal- Yes! I'll do anything you want!
Sakuno- Okay then, come here…
As the principal neared Sakuno, Yanagi noticed that something was weird with how Sakuno was looking at the principal. She looked at the principal like he was her food and the aura around her felt too weird.
Yanagi- What is she going to do? Her eyes…. What is….
Yanagi's thoughts were interrupted as a guy in a suit approached her.
Stranger- What do you think you are doing to him? You know…
Sakuno- Yes, I know. I just wanted to have some fun with you. I already knew you were watching me. This was the only way to draw you out.
Stranger- That's not what you usually do though. Usually you would….
Sakuno- I know what I would usually do. It wasn't just you watching me though.
Stranger- What do you mean?
Sakuno- Yanagi-san, please come out. I know you can hear me just fine.
Yanagi- Impossible! How? How did she know I was here? Maybe she was just guessing. There is a 99% chance that she didn't know; I calculated everything about her movements. There is no way she knows.
Sakuno- Come out, Yanagi-san. It's just sad that you still think I'm stupid enough not to know you were spying. Did you like the show I put out for you? Though it was too short because of my friend here, I still hope you enjoyed it.
Yanagi- How did you know I was there? What were you going to do to the principal?
Sakuno- Calm down. I wasn't going to hurt your principal. He was playing along with me, you know how your principal is, always playing jokes on his students. Isn't that right?
Principal- Yes. Come on Yanagi-san, calm down. Maybe we played the joke too far?
Sakuno- No that can't be, the fun didn't even start because of this annoying guy right here.
Stranger- Hey, come on. If I knew I wouldn't have interrupted so soon!
Yanagi was perplexed at the closeness that was being displayed right in front of him. The Sakuno he and his friends knew was an arrogant, and cocky little brat that's always mean to people but she was playing along with the principal and his antics as well as the stranger in front of him. He started to wonder if it was their fault that she acted that way towards them. Maybe it was because we treated her like…
Principal- Yanagi-san. Go back to practice, you are not excused like Ryuzaki- san is. Oh, and tell the coach that she will be excused for 2 weeks to a month approximately due to work.
Yanagi- Eh? Yeah sure…. When she gets back we should be nicer to her, have her open up to us like them. It would be better that way anyway. We can be more of a team that way. Wait…. She works? Isn't she rich to the point where she doesn't need to do anything, like that spoiled Atobe?
When Yanagi left to go back to practice, Sakuno smirked. She decided it would be fun to play with him just a bit when she got back. With that thought in mind, Sakuno and the stranger left in the limousine in order to finish what was expected of her.
Stranger- What were you going to do to that man? I can't condone…
Sakuno- I wasn't going to do anything. I was merely…
Stranger- Having fun? You always say that to get out of a situation. I am going to have to report this to…
Sakuno- I don't care. Go ahead and report in about how I was playing around with a teammate with the laidback principal. You just need to remember your place Kazuhiko. What do you think father will do? Punish me? Lock me up and torture me until I break and yield to whatever he says like your brother?
The rest of the trip to the main building was awkward for Kazuhiko and the driver. Sakuno just sat there staring out the window, watching people rushing to get to work on time or finally getting off it until she drifted off into a world of calm, and serenity. It was only until she heard someone calling her to wake up that she hadn't realized where she was. She was in the car with others besides her driver and her friend.
Sumiko- Stop staring at her, it's rude.
Strangers staring at her- E-eh? A-ah! Gomenasai Shimizu- sama!
Sakuno- Umm…
Sakuno stared at all of them with discomfort and confusion, waiting for them to answer her unspoken question. She glanced over at Kazuhiko and found him sleeping as well. Where am I? Who are these people? Sakuno looked out the window and found that they were already out in the country.
Sumiko- Heyyy Sa-chan! You finally woke up! I've been waiting for a long time, did you know that? I was about ready to throw you out of the car but sadly you woke up. Oh and these are just some of my maids.
Sakuno- Sumiko…. How did we get…
Sumiko- I thought I TOLD you NOT to call me that. And besides we flew by the private jet. Kazuhiko and yourself stayed in the car while we flew, I'm surprised you stayed asleep that entire time.
Sakuno- And why not? I'm your sister; shouldn't sisters call each other by their given name? Calling you Shimizu just seems too distant, doesn't it? Kazuhiko knows I hate flying so he just drugged me….
Sumiko- Che….Arrogant little brat.
Sakuno- Hmmm? What was that? I didn't hear you.
Sumiko- Just drop it! Father told me to pick you up myself. He thought you would disobey him and just leave. It's not like I'm here because I want to! I just need to get on father's good side again. I messed up last time, and since you're his "beloved" little girl, he'll definitely….
Sakuno- I never asked why you were here.
Sumiko- HEY! You can't speak that way to your older sister! You need to be taught how to respect those older tha….
Sakuno- Shut up. You shouldn't take pride in the fact that you are old enough to be my grandma.
Sumiko- G-GRANDMA! You cocky little…. I'm only 1 year older than you!
Sakuno- I don't care. If you act like an old stinky and grumpy grandma, smell like one, and look like one with all those wrinkles than youare a stinky, grumpy and old grandma.
Sumiko- Heh, at least I'm not a mistress's child. You're just a bastard who should have died with her mother in the slums! I can forgive you though if you let me kill you. How about it?
Sakuno- Sure, go ahead and try.
Sumiko- HAHAHHAHA! Good, very good. Now, GO DIE!
Kazuhiko ended up waking up right at the moment that Sumiko was about to stab Sakuno with a knife Sumiko had hidden in her shoe. He was about to lunge in front of Sakuno but she'd grabbed the knife and broke it in between her fingers. Sumiko was frozen to her spot. Confusion filled her mind, and then anger rose within her. Sumiko was about to attack again but the look in Sakuno's eyes, the look of hell itself, showed. She had the look that no human should ever have and Sumiko knew this subconsciously and froze.
Kazuhiko- Sakuno- Sama, calm down.
Sakuno- I don't know what you are talking about Kazuhiko. I'm perfectly calm. I'm not too sure about Sumiko over here though. She just tried to kill me. But you're siding with her…. Why?
Sumiko- BECAUSE YOU'RE INSANE! I must have seen things. Yeah that's right! It was just my imagination, she….
Kazuhiko- Shimizu-sama, please calm down as well. You need to make yourself presentable and right now you look like you've gone through hell.
Sumiko- E-eh? There's no way that could happen. I look good no matter what.
Kazuhiko had then shown her a mirror and a minute later the limousine had swerved and screaming could be heard from inside it.
Sakuno- For the love of God. SHUT UP!
Sumiko- You know what? I DON'T HAVE TO! You need to watch your attitude, little bastard. Looks like our brothers and sisters need to train you some more. All that time in the U.S. must have made you forget what happens when you talk back to us.
Kazuhiko- Train her? What does she mean? Shimizu-sama, Sakuno-sama, we have arrived. Please make yourself presentable now Shimizu-sama and control your temper.
Sumiko- Gahhhh! Why didn't you tell me we were almost there!
Kazuhiko- Gomenasai Shimizu-sama.
Sakuno- Oh shut up Sumiko. He told you to fix your ugly appearance didn't he? At least he made sure to point it out, I would have just had you walk right through the entire place and embarrass yourself and disappoint father.
Sumiko- You!...
Kazuhiko- Cut it out Sakuno-sama and stop talking, Shimizu-sama please control your temper as well.
When Sumiko was done fixing her unsightly appearance, Sakuno and Kazuhiko were lead by her to the office that their father was at. When they had arrived there though, they were definitely surprised. Their brothers and sisters were each gathered there waiting. Of the 28 siblings, the majority was that they were scared but the very few still had on their poker face and only the 5 strongest there weren't afraid at all. Sakuno heard a gulp coming from each side of her and figured it was Kazuhiko and her annoying step sister Sumiko.
Hisashi- Kazuhiko, you are excused for the month. Have a nice vacation, but you are forbidden to contact anyone here other than your lover.
Kazuhiko- Hai.
Hisashi- Sumiko, do you know why you are here?
Sumiko- No, father.
Hisashi- Sakuno, do you know why you are here?
Sakuno- Maybe.
Sakuno watched her father's face go from calm to red in the dim light. The others in the room though, looked down and started shuffling their feet a bit as if wishing they could leave.
Kimiko- You're a shitty brat now, you used to have such a nice and innocent personality, what happened? Well, I didn't like you in the first place anyway but start respecting your elders or we'll have to punish you.
Hisashi- She is right, Sakuno. Or should I say Yukiko.
Sumiko- I thought we were only supposed to say her new name, father.
Hisashi- Nobody but relatives are in the room right now. I'd say it's fine, since I don't allow any type electronic in here, other than a metal detector.
Sakuno- Can we get back to the point now father? I'm very busy and I don't have the time to be wasting it on family bonding with a family that ridicules me every chance they get.
When Sakuno had said that, the room had gone completely silent with the tension growing almost unbearable. All of the eyes focused on Sakuno, waiting for something to happen to her, but nothing had happened. When everyone relaxed again and started throwing dirty towards Sakuno, when all of a sudden, a knife was thrown in her direction but all they had heard was metal hitting against the wall and falling to the ground. Everyone was surprised Sakuno had to dodge another 8 knifes until she just stood still and let it pierce her in the heart.
Aimi- W-why didn't you dodge it? Yukiko! Yukiko! Y-Yukiko, PLEASE say something!
Blood spilled out of Sakuno's mouth after she had pulled the knife out and a couple of seconds later, a pool of blood covered the area where Sakuno was standing. Everything became blurry to Sakuno as her entire body felt as if it were lead. She stood until the weight became unbearable and fell to her knees, causing her to cough up blood. The others surrounded her while Sakuno only bothered to lift up her head until her father was in sight, showing a bloodied smile, a knowing smile.
Sakuno- Heh, (Cough! Cough!)I didn't know my very own father would want to kill me like all the others here. I feel SO loved.
Hisashi- Y-Yukiko! No, you're wrong! I only lost my temper. I only…
Aimi- F-Father, we need to s-stop the bleeding! She's losing too much blood!
Sakuno- I'm fine. (Cough! Cough!)
Aimi- YOU WERE STABBED IN THE HEART! H-How c-can you be fine?
Aimi choked on her words as the others surrounded her, trying to make Aimi think it was for the best. Making the only one who ever cared about her sad, even if it was just a little, made Sakuno feel guilty. However, that guilt hadn't lasted when she saw the smirk appear behind the hands covering Aimi's face. Anger arose in Sakuno's throat as dots of red covered her vision.
