Chapter 3: Girl fight tonight!
We went back to class and Hirako-san kept alternating between glaring at me and giving me puppy eyes. I know this because I would check on him occasionally. School let out and I started home. I made my way down the street and there was he was about 30 ft. in front of me. I was about to shout out his name, to apologize for my behavior in the closet because I felt bad, what with the pitiful looks he'd been giving me.
Then I saw a tiny blonde girl drop down from the sky. She proceeded to kick Hirako-san head first into the wall in front of him. He pulled his head out of the wall and looked at the girl like he knew her. He started to say something and she took off her sandal and slapped him across the face with it. I couldn't help it. I started laughing. They stopped and looked at me. I tried to control myself
"I'm sorry, Hirako-san, but this is too funny. You're getting your ass kicked by a girl half your size. You must be her bitch," I said, fighting a smile.
"I'm no one's bitch. The only bitch here is Hiyori," he said. That got him another head butt.
"Who the hell are you?" the little blonde girl, Hiyori, yelled.
"Takahashi Reiko. Who the hell are you?"
She paused for a moment, as if giving me a silent assessment.
"Sarugaki Hiyori," she said. "So, you're the girl he was mumbling about yesterday. He kept mumbling 'Rei-chan doesn't like me'. It was pathetic."
"Oh, nice to meet you. Rei-chan? Wow, Hirako-san, I didn't realize we were so… intimate," I said. I knew I was baiting him, and it probably wasn't the best idea, but then
again, he was too much fun.
He arched an eyebrow and leered at me. "Well, you are beautiful and I can't say I don't have plans to test your flexibility in certain areas."
"My flexibility is just fine, thank you very much. Not that it'll be tested by anyone, any time soon," I said.
"Virgin bride?" Hiyori asked.
"Maybe, I haven't decided yet, but that's mainly because I haven't found anyone worth the pain," I said.
Hirako-san sweat dropped. "This isn't my week."
"That's what happens when you sandwich yourself between two alpha females," I said.
"Don't remind me," he said.
"Why? It's fun to watch you squirm," I said. Hirako-san stuck his tongue out at me.
"Keep that in your mouth unless you know what to do with it," I said.
"What makes you think I don't? I could show you sometime," he said smirking.
"Promises, promises, Hirako-san. You're all talk," I said walking past him.
He pulled my back into his chest. Leaning down, he whispered in my ear, "I'm all talk? You're the one who keeps baiting me. You should start calling me Shinji. You'll be screaming it soon enough."
I turned around with a beet red face and he gave me a very lusty look. "What makes you think that, Mr. Vizard?" I asked.
Then, Hiyori was between us, screaming.
"You told her?!" Hiyori screamed.
"She overheard me with Kurosaki!" he said.
"It doesn't matter! She's gotta die now," she said as she drew her katana.
In my head, I pushed her back into the wall. Suddenly, Shinji stood before me with his hand in front of my face. "Sorry, beautiful. We have things to discuss and I can't have you killing off the subordinates," he said.
My eye twitched. "She started it."
He sighed. "Yeah, well, I'm finishing it." And then there was only darkness.
