Wheww… I've uploaded this later than I expected…
Thank you very much for the reviews! (^_^)
Oh, I just noticed, I haven't named the school yet, so let's just make it Fushigi Academy…
Here's the third chapter…
Chapter 3: Investigation
At the field of Fushi Academy, two girls are trying to get some information about two certain guys.
"Well, I heard he's super rich and always have a perfect score even if he sometimes doesn't show up in class." A member of track and field said.
"I see… I see… Anymore information?" Fine responded as she took a note of what the girl said.
"Well…" The girl continued.
"Bright and Shade?" A member of track and field who was sitting by the tree asked.
"Yes. Do you know anything about them?" Rein asked as she lowered her body, holding up the notebook in her left hand and a pen in her right.
"Class S' best students." The guy answered as he drank the bottle of water beside him.
"Do you have any information besides that?" Rein asked as she noted what he said.
"Why don't you ask their fanclub? They have more information about those two." The guy suggested.
"Fanclub? Where can I find them?" Rein asked as she stopped writing.
"Hmmm… If I'm not mistaken, they should be by the farthest room from the stairs at the third floor of the west building by lunch time." The guy said as he stood up.
"I see… Thanks." Rein said as she bowed and left, running towards Fine.
"Rein!" Fine shouted as she waved her hand and approached Rein, then added "They all say the same things. No one here knows why they are that popular. They just know that those two are the most popular guys in the school."
"I see… The people whom I asked are also like that. But from the last person I spoke to, I heard that we can check out their fanclub if we want to know more about them." Rein said.
"Then, let's go now!" Fine said as she tried to drag Rein out of the court.
"Fine! Where are you going?! We haven't ended up our club activities yet." Their captain said as she approached them and dragged Fine back to the court.
Rein laughed awkwardly at the scene while Fine cried as she was being pulled. As the bell rang, Rein and Fine was already in the classroom talking about what they can ask to the fanclub. Their teacher came in and everyone hushed down and went back to their respective seats. As soon as the bell for lunch rang, Rein and Fine fixed their things and went to the Bright and Shades' fanclub room.
"Bright-sama and Shade-sama's Fanclub. It says." Fine said as she read the sign.
"Yup, this is the place." Rein said as she was about to knock on the door.
The door slammed opened and a girl with long wavy brown hair appeared in front of them. The brown haired girl saw them standing in front of the fanclub room about to knock.
"Oh? New members?" The brown haired girl said and dragged them inside the room. "Hey girls! We have new members! Please explain the rules!" The girl said as she released them from her grip.
"Number 1. Bright-sama and Shade-sama are for everyone." A girl said as she stood up from her seat and sat after saying that.
"Number 2. No one should be closer to them if they're alone." Another girl said as she did what the previous girl do.
"Number 3. Should anyone be closer to them, aside from Class S students, may see themselves being bullied." Another girl said as she did the same.
"Number 4. Gifts are allowed to be given but it must be with the other gifts we'll give."
"Number 5. We must follow every word they'll say to us."
"Those are the rules you must follow upon entering this fanclub." The brown haired girl said.
"Uhmmm… We don't actually plan to join…" Fine said as she lowered her head.
"What?! Then why did you come her then?" The brown haired girl exclaimed.
"To ask information. About Bright and Shade." Rein answered.
"I see… But we don't give any information about Bright-sama and Shade-sama that easily. You must give us something in return." The brown haired girl explained.
"What must we give?" Fine asked.
"Anything owned or used by Bright-sama or Shade-sama. One question, one answer, one thing." The brown haired girl answered.
"Alright. We'll give you something. Wait for us to come back. Let's go Fine." Rein said as she left the room.
They went to rooftop and saw Bright and Shade eating bread. A bagel for Bright and a croissant for Shade. Rein and Fine went to their usual place to eat and started eating.
*Fine's P.O.V.*
I ate one of the onigiris in my bento. It was the usual onigiri that mom made. I glanced at Bright and Shade who was almost done eating. Won't they get hungry again? I mean, just a piece of bread for lunch? If that was me, I'll ran out of energy fast. I continued eating my bento. As time pass, I noticed that Bright and Shade was only sitting there to pass by time. Oh yeah! What can we give to that fanclub? I wonder…
"Hey Rein." I started.
"Hmm?" Rein responded as she paused from eating.
"How can we get something that belongs to Bright or Shade? Or at least something they used?" I asked in a whisper so that Bright and Shade won't hear us.
"Hmmm… I was thinking, maybe we could get the container of what they just ate and give it to the fanclub… Or we could cry and make them lend their handkerchief to us…" Rein answered, also in a whisper.
"What if they think that we want that handkerchief to ourselves if we don't give it back?" I said as I thought of what may happen.
"Ohh… I forgot that part…" Rein said as she sighed.
I also sighed. What can we give that fanclub for the information we need? Now that I think about it, why don't we just ask Bright and Shade directly? But, wait, is that rude or not? I mean we're one of the few who doesn't know them, the most popular persons in this school.
"It seems something is troubling you two." A familiar voice said.
Rein and I turned to where we heard that voice, it was Bright's, and noticed Bright and Shade standing near us.
"N-Nothing is troubling us…" Rein stuttered while faking her smile.
"Doesn't look like it." Shade said as Bright and Shade sat beside us.
They sure know how to read the real situation.
*Bright's P.O.V.*
"So what's up?" I asked looking at both of them.
"W-well… Uhmmm… Can I ask you a question?" Rein said.
"Sure." I said, smiling.
"Uhmm… Because we have this friend who met this really popular person but that friend of ours don't know that person… Do you know how that really popular person may feel? And how can this friend of ours know that person?" Rein said lowering her face.
I guess she was talking about the two of them not knowing who we are.
"I guess, that popular person may find your friend, rather, interesting? Or something like that. And to know that person, why don't your friend ask that person directly?" I said, trying not to sound like I already knew the situation.
"But isn't asking directly a bit rude?" Fine asked.
"I don't think so…" I said as I smiled.
"Is that so?" Fine said as she finished her lunch.
"Yeah." I assured her.
*Rein's P.O.V.*
I continued eating my lunch, given the fact that I'm the only one left whose lunch wasn't finished, while listening to Fine and Bright converse. Shade, on the other hand, was keeping his silence and just watched all of us. After a while, I finished my lunch and joined in the conversation.
"So… How come we don't see you at school often?" I asked thinking that I could get some hint of who they are based on their answer.
"Well, we have duties in our country that we need to fulfill." Bright said as he smiled innocently.
"Duties? Do they mean errands? And, in their country? Does this means this is not their home country?" I thought and said "I see… Must be pretty tiring…"
"I admit, it is… But we can't complain about it." Bright said.
"Why not?" Fine asked.
"Hehe… You sound like you don't know why…" Bright chuckled a bit.
Fine and I froze for a second. We almost got caught. We decided to laugh it off to make them believe that we were just joking, but is it believable? The bell rang, which saved us, it's my art class and Fine's music class. And it looks like, Fine will be in the same class as Bright once again, like me with Shade. We separated ways and went to our respective classrooms. When class has ended, Shade was greeted goodbye by every single person in the class.
"Shade's really popular, huh." I whispered to Lione.
"Let me guess, you still don't know who he is?" Lione whispered back.
"Well, yeah…" I nodded and added "My sister and I even tried to ask their fanclub but they won't answer us unless we give them something in return, which should be something that belongs to Bright or Shade or something they used."
"Really? Wow… Their fanclub really are desperate…"
"Oh yeah! What was the thing you want to say about Shade last time?" I whispered with the thought that Shade may not hear us.
"Shade is actually the-" Lione was cut off when Shade pulled her away.
"You can't really stop talking about another person, can you?" Shade said.
"I'm sorry. It was my fault, not Lione's. I was the one who wanted to know who you really are." I said in a haze.
Shade smirked a little. My eyes grew wider and I covered my mouth with both of my hands. I realized what I just said. I, accidently, told the truth about what we talked about during lunch.
*Shade's P.O.V.*
"So, you finally admitted it." I said as I released Lione's hand and stood in front of Rein.
"W-W-What are you saying? I-I don't know what you're talking about." Rein stuttered as she looked away with a little tint of red on her face.
I can't help but to smile, or you could say, smirk, at this situation. Shall I tease her a little more?
Aaaand, that's the end of chapter 3... :)
Hope you like it! :3
