You always say I'm SPECIAL
You always find a way to make me feel BETTER
You always make sure to keep up with my SELFISHNESS
You always state how PROUD you are of me or how LUCKY I am to have you
You always make this empty place feel like HOME
And no matter what happens, how many times we fight, how many times you try—and fail—to kill me or how many years pass… I know, for sure, that you'll always keep your promise, since I can remember, you have never broke one
The promise that binds us together
"Nene-pyon, I your grandpa, Shinomiya Osamu…"
"I already know who you are old m—"
"Shut up and listen! I promise to be by your side not only as the man that raised you but also as your mentor and friend, till' the day you are ready to face the world on your own…When that day comes, I'll be prepared to leave this world"
"Then…I'll make sure to never be ready old man"
"HAHAHA! Don't say that Nene…I'm not immortal"
"You better be or this place will die with you then…"
"WHA—? YOU MIDGET! YOU'RE SUPPOSE TO TAKE OVER THE DOJO WHEN I'M GONE"
"NO WAY!"

Before any of the humans could react the three aliens disappeared with a strange light emanating from a soccer ball and a cloud of dust.
"They are gone…"-Endou whispered. Mauve orbs darkened
Fubuki, Kidou, Gouenji along with Endou and Shinomiya kept silent for few minutes, their bodies rigid like a rock.
The melody of a cell phone ringing in their ears
(1*)Bokura wa mucha mo suru kedo
Nakitai toki ni wa nai chuck it all out
Nene's lips heaved a sigh; she tucked her hand on her skirt's pocket to take out her cell phone
Konkyo no nai jishin demo
Toriaezu 'cos i'm included in your life—
Glancing at the screen, she flipped her phone open and placed it on her ear whilst turning around to face Raimon's boys.
"Yo!…"- Said Nene with a blank face. No one answered her salute; the girl removed the phone from her ear and glared at the object with irritation
A prank?
Endou blinked, he noticed Shinomiya's eyes darkening as she stared at the phone's gleaming screen, however he kept his mouth shut and silently stood by Kidou's side. Gouenji apprehensively lowered his lashes as his dark orbs stared at the raven-haired girl, while Fubuki's droopy eyes fell from her face to the mobile phone in her hand.
YOU HAVE ONE NEW TEXT MESSAGE
YOU HAVE FOUR VOICE MESSAGES
Nene clicked on the text message—tap
From: Old Geezer Osamu
Sent: XX:XX:XX PM
Don't come home…
Her eyebrows lifted up-"Old man…?"
Nene rapidly dialed her grandpa's number; she placed the phone on her ear and patiently waited for her grandpa to pick up, meanwhile Raimon's boys exchanged glances, they had felt it; Shinomiya's uneasiness.
(BEEP. BEEP)—We are sorry, the number you have reached is not in service at this time, please check the number or try your call again—(BEEP!)
Nene tried to call again
The phone kept ringing and then it went silent for some seconds
Click—
Nene closed her eyes when she heard the click; someone had picked up the phone-"Oi, old ma—"
—We are sorry, the number you have reached is not in service at this time, please check the number or try your call again—(BEEP!)
Shinomiya felt her face turning pale; she glanced at her phone and tried to call again one more time. It ringed twice, thrice, four times…
(BEEP!)—We are sorry, the number you have reached is not in service at this time, please check the number or try your call again—(BEEP!)
But the same voice kept saying the same thing.
The girl growled and when she was about to call again she noticed she had missed something. The voice messages
YOU HAVE FOUR VOICE MESSAGES
Click—
"OI, LITTLE DEMON—HOW LONG ARE YOU PLANNING TO STAY AT THAT PARK? COME HOME RIGHT AWAY IF YOU DON'T WANT A SUPER SPICY RAMEN NIGHT"
Click—
"I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU KICKING SOME ALIEN BUTTS OR WHATEV—OH SHOOT! THE NOODLES ARE BURNING! CALL YOU LATER!"
Click—
"NENE-PYON, I KNOW HOW MUCH YOU LIKE MY SPICY-RAMEN BUT TONIGHT WE'LL BE ORDERING PIZZA…(Ding. Dong) OHH! SOMEONE'S RINGING THE BELL () HEY! YOU BETTER BE HERE ON TIME OR ELSE I'LL ORDER A HOT AND SPICY PIZZA WITH JALAPEÑOS AND GREEN CHILLIES! GOODBYE!"
Nene rumbled in disgust-"Che!"- And clicked to pass on to the next message
Click—
The fourth message came from a different number-"HORAAAA! BAKA NENE!—"- Nene rolled her eyes and involuntarily pressed the button to turn on the speakerphone. Ears exploded at the pitch voice as the message continued
"WHY IS IT THAT I'M SKIPPING CLASS AND THAT I COULDN'T FINISH PAINTING MY BEAUTIFUL NAILS JUST BECAUSE I HAVE TO LOOK FOR YOU IN A PLACE FILLED WITH UGLY PEOPLE LIKE YOU?— Uhm, Misa-chan I don't think Nene-chan will answer to that, let's keep looking for her, Koen is quite big—BUT RIN-CHAN (Silence)—ANYWAY YOU BETTER TELL US EXACTLY WHERE YOU ARE OR YOU'RE DEA—
Click—
Nene shut her phone before the message ended. The boys sighed. She felt something heavy at the pit of her stomach or more as if someone had punched her right there, by some means, she felt something was wrong, she needed to get home as soon as possible but being with Kiramike and Raimon at the same place could delay her plans, especially after what had happened.
What should I do?
Her eyes scanned the faces around her as she balled her free hand into a tense fist.
Endou glanced at his comrades and then at the girl-"Nene…?"
Shinomiya flipped her phone open again to read the message her grandpa had sent her
Don't come home…
Don't come home…
Don't come home…
Shinomiya remembered Hiroto's words right before he left—"Think twice before giving me that answer again, you don't want any of your loved-ones getting hurt, right?"—she didn't want to relate his words to Osamu's message but the only way to know was by asking Raimon about Aliea's actions. She knew they could destroy schools and all that, but she wanted to know if they would go as far as to hurt innocent people.
The girl blinked and looked at Gouenji from the corner of her eyes -"Can I ask you something…?"
The boys exchanged astonished glances. Shuuya shrugged a shoulder, motioning her to go ahead
Nene faced him wholly, shutting her phone and tucking it inside her pocket-"How far would Aliea Gakuen go?"- She crossed her arms over her chest.
Kidou frowned.
Endou's jaw clenched.
Fubuki sighed.
At first Shuuya's eyes widened, remembering the time when his little sister's life was threatened but then his gaze turned shadowy and scary, his zigzag eyebrows joining in an unfathomable frown as his chin scrunched, he closed his eyes to answer
"They'd do anything, even taking away your loved ones…"
Nene stared at her feet with a suspicious look in her eyes and mumbled-"kusoo…"- with that answer, she couldn't help but think something had happened to her grandpa. Damn you aliens!
Old man…you better be safe.
Gouenji's mouth shut, the girl's aura felt different.
Endou placed a hand on his shoulder and as soon as he turned his head to glance at his friend, the brunette shot him one of his toothy smiles, Raimon's ace striker smiled faintly at the captain.
Ignoring the boys and wandering around with her gape, Nene's face twisted in abhorrence when her eyes caught some flashy, extravagant and assorted colors at the distance getting closer every second. She saw blue, brown, yellow, two pink dots, and a tiny caramel particle along with silver, orange, green and purple.
Just like Kiramike's girls…
Nene shrugged a shoulder. Maybe she's just imagining things
"EEH?"- Endou stepped aside flapping his arms and smiling-"It's Kiramike's soccer team!"
The girl's jaw dropped. Or maybe not
The brunette captain started to shout-"OIII! OVER HERE!"
Nene's eyes widened when she noticed a brown speckle speeded up as soon as Endou began pointing out their position.
Crap! I should have kicked Endou
"SHINOMIYAAAAAAAA! YOU RUINED MY BEAUTY- SESSION, YOU'RE DEAD MEAT!"
"CHOTTO MATTE! MISA-CHAN!"- Shouted the multicolored dots behind
Endou's eyes bulged; he turned around and stood by his comrade's side. He knew that what was about to come was dangerous.
Nene stepped back. She knows Kimura Misaki turns into a beast when angry; it wasn't for nothing that during Elementary school and her first year at Kiramike some people (jealous girls) called her "Misakilisk" (combination of: Misaki & Basilisk) since even her voice and look could kill, but not just that, she was considered Kiramike's strongest girl right after Rin
(Snapshot of Misaki's muscular body. WTH?)
That is, until Nene arrived and mercilessly pinned both girls down (Snapshot of Nene smiling with her feet on top of their heads). Anyway, Misaki thinks that her problem is not her strength but the unlady-like monster she turns into.
The boys blinked astonished when they heard a scream
"KORAAAAAAAAAA!"
Misaki had jumped high in the sky; she shot her right leg out, ready to direct a flying kick towards the raven-haired girl, her dark aura giving her the appearance of a demon, more like Medusa since her hair seemed to be alive. Nene sighed and dropped her duffel bag on the ground, her eyes flashed with flames
"TAKOOO!"-The raven-haired girl shouted angrily as she jumped too and her left leg shot out.
Fubuki looked down-How can they jump like that wearing skirts?
Girls are scary!
Both gals were about to collide with each other as they shouted war cries.
"DAMN YOU SHINOMIYA!"
"URUSAI KIMURA!"
This was:
The perfect anime-like fight scene (heavy background music, war cries from each side, bodies hanging in mid-air as if they could fly)
With perfect kicks
And perfect legs
ALL IN ONE!
The twins grinned-"COOLNESS!"
The Fantastic Four took photos with their cell phones-"This is like Sylvester Stallone vs. Arnold Schwarzenegger"
Momo's specs glistened with the sunlight-"Who's who?"
Asumi, Aya and Kaede stared at each other-"No idea!"
Yumi joined the fan girls with an attentive and intellectual façade-"If you ask moi, Misa-chan is like Terminator and Nene-chan is like Rambo but without the machine guns"
Chi grimaced-"But I think Nene-chan is more like Terminator with the super strength and Misa-chan is like Rocky…"
The blonde vice-captain grinned at Chi's comment about Misaki-"Oh! It's because she has no brain(2*), right?"
"WHA—?"- The petite monkey gawked-"I didn't mean it like that!"
Rin stepped in front of the group to stop the quarrel between the sophomores-"MISA-CHAN, NENE-CHAN YAMETEEEEE!"
Introduce slow motion. Depressing, really depressing background music (One that makes you cry a river); both girls looked at their cerulean-headed captain as she ran towards them whilst yelling to stop, Raimon's boys gawked at the scene that pretty much resembled other anime scene(3*), Kiramike's girls looked at each other with widened eyes, once Nene and Misaki were about to exchange glances and stop their crash, a tall silhouette appeared between them, Rin fell down over her face—"Ow!"—and the slow motion came to an end.
POW! — (Both feet smashed against something hard; squeezing, twisting, twirling and turning it)
Time stopped at Koen. Birds hushed. Wind blew. The waves ceased. People looked at the sky with worry
The Fantastic Four grimaced. Oh my!—But rapidly looked away and found themselves admiring Fubuki's God-Like looks—Ahhh so CUTE!
Yumi and Rin sighed. How did it end up like this?
Petite Chi gasped. Isn't that—?
The twins tilted their heads to the side. How did he get here?
Raimon stared in shock. That must have hurt!
Unexpectedly, the stillness was replaced by a boisterous male cry that flooded Koen
"GAAAAAAAAH!"
Misaki squinted. Nene pouted. BAKA TAKUMA!
.
.
As many of you must be curious about the rest of Raimon's team whereabouts, while the entire thing with the aliens happened. Here it is…
Somewhere in the streets of Minato Mirai 21, Yokohama
"Ne, Natsumi-san have you received any message from Takuma-san?"- Asked a black-haired manager. Aki wasn't worried about Endou and his group; she was more worried about the bunch of soccer players walking behind her like some old grannies that can't cross the street, but of course she wanted to know where the brunette captain was.
"Let me see…"- Said Natsumi as she took out her cell phone and flipped it open. The girl tapped something and began searching for any new messages. Aki and Haruna glanced at each other; the cerulean-headed freshman looked above her shoulder at the rest of the team and noticed the small Kogure was having a hard time to walk.
"Uhm…Kogure-kun are you okay?"- Asked Otonashi with a worried expression. The small spiky head lifted up
Both kids exchanged glances. Kogure straightened his spine and decided to show Otonashi a strong front-"I'm fine!"
Aki giggled
Natsumi stopped in her tracks. The team followed. The girl looked at the faces around her and said-"Uhmm…Takuma-san said Nene's at Yokohama's Koen park"
"Koen?"- Rika retold. Natsumi nodded
"How do we get there?"- Tsunami queried
The whole team shook heads in response
"Maaa! Why do we have to follow that girl around the city?"- Toko sighed
Aki gaped at the wavy-haired girl with curiosity, when she noticed she was writing a message on her cell phone-"Natsumi-san?"
"I'm replying to Takuma-san..."- Uttered Natsumi. Right after she sent the message another one arrived
YOU HAVE RECEIVED ONE NEW TEXT MESSAGE
From: Takuma
Sent: xx:xx:xx PM
I'm telling u this cuz' Shirotae made me do it but don't bother Nene-chan any more u r annoyin u just want her to cancel the tournament without even knowin how much it means to her
Eyes widened
The team's expressions suddenly altered
"It seems Nene is not the only one that dislikes us"
Natsumi swiftly gained pose-"There's no time to worry about that. Let's go!"
.
.
"I'll take my leave now, Osamu jii-chan is waiting for me"
The teenagers gaped at the raven-haired girl standing up from the bleachers and taking her duffel bag with her left hand; her hair swayed with her every move, tickling her creamy legs. Rin, whom was helping Takuma with the two feet marks on his cheeks and his black eye (Since he suddenly yelled he had seen something white and something pink along with the soles of the shoes and giggled like a girl) rapidly rose from her position and stopped the raven-haired girl from leaving, with her voice:
"Nene-chan, we need to talk"
The said girl turned around-"I need to go home and you already know I made a decision about Aliea's situation"
"I know"- Rin nodded. Kiramike's soccer team stared at the two girls with concern-"And we understand bu—"
"Then, there's nothing left to talk about"- Shinomiya interrupted her cerulean-headed captain. Yamamoto's head went down instantly, her gentle smile vanishing slowly. Nene's gaze averted towards Raimon, the boys looked at her apathetically and she lowered her lashes, at last she sighed and talked to her captain once more
"Sorry Rin…"- Uttered Shinomiya, clutching her duffel bag closer to her body.
Takuma raised an eyebrow. Nene…apologizing? Even if the world crumbled into pieces, Nene would never apologize to someone wholeheartedly (unless she did something really, really wrong), but the look in her eyes when she apologized to Rin was frank and genuine. Takuma thought the girl was behaving oddly this day (seeing as she wasn't the one leaving him a dark eye when he yelled something about pink or white underwear), even if he knows how much she admires Rin, is hard to digest what's going on without thinking she's acting strange.
Yamamoto lifted up her gaze-"Ah-Ah"- and shook her hands-"Don't worry; I understand your point—"
"We can talk tomorrow"- Nene assured her. The pigtailed-girl turned around swiftly and walked away
Rin waved and grinned-"Sure…"
Takuma stood up and stepped in front of the group-"I'll go with her"- he said. Rin smiled at him and nodded. The red-headed boy rapidly chased after the raven-haired girl
"MY PRINCESS!"
"Piss off Takuma!"- Nene walked faster
Endou remained silent for a few seconds and then snapped-"I'll go too"
Rin gawked, stopping the boy as he prepared himself to run-"Ah!—Endou-san?"
Mamoru smiled at the all-girls soccer team's captain-"I want to know more about Nene-chan…"
Chan? Since when they are so close-Rin thought
"Then…I'm coming too"- Gouenji stood next to Endou. The brunette smiled at his friend and turned around to face Kidou and Fubuki with his usual enthusiasm
"We should go t—HUH?"- Endou blinked. His jaw dropped
"EEEH?"
"YOU SICK FREAKS! LET GO OF HIM!"- Yumi shouted angrily, balling her fists and jumping inside a cloud of dust. The twins cheered
"GO FOR IT YUMI-CHAN!"
Chi looked at the scene with worry-"Poor Fu-chi, his innocence will be tainted"
"KYAAAAA! FUBUKI-KUUUUN!"
"OMG! LOOK AT THOSE ABS!"- Kaede hollered with passion
The four girls chorused-"FU-KUUUN!"
"YAMETTE!"- Fubuki cried. Only one of his hands went out of the cloud of dust as he screamed-"PLEASE DON'T!"
Rin sighed-"Endou-san, Gouenji-san…"- Both boys turned to look at her-"Go! I'll make sure Fubuki-san ends safe and sound"
Kidou intervened-"I'll stay, just in case"
The captain and ace striker nodded at his goggled friend-"All right!"
Once both boys left, Rin turned around to face the cloud of dust in which Fubuki was being held, the girl popped her knuckles-"AYA! KAEDE! MOMO AND ASUMI STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING RIGHT NOW!"
Fubuki's head popped out, he looked at Rin with a pleading face-"Help me!"
Yamamoto shook her head elegantly, her eyes sparkling with determination as Chi and the twins played some 'Fighting Spirit' soundtrack music-"DO NOT WORRY FUBUKI-SAN, HERE I COME!"
Kidou's eyebrow twitched.
.
.
As Nene walked, her eyes blankly stared at the crammed streets. Grandpa…
Her expression shifted when she saw the bus stop getting closer. Her feet speeded up
Kami-sama you better protect that old-geezer with awful fashion taste
"Takuma, hurry!"- The girl commanded. She knew Takuma was not going to leave her alone; it was a fight she couldn't win, therefore she had to try her best to deal with him and hide her urge to kick him if anything happened. On the other hand, she felt she would need him now more than ever, she needed some support and if it came from an idiot like him; her so called BEST-FRIEND, then bear with it.
Takuma increased his pace. He followed the girl's movements, noticing how her facial expressions shifted from blank to anger to worry and then back to anger again. Sensing someone was staring at them; he looked back above his shoulder and became aware Endou and Gouenji were running behind them
"Nene-chan!"- The red-headed boy called-"We are being follo—"
"Let them be!"- Nene shrugged a shoulder, her long hair swaying behind her-"If they end up getting hurt, is not my responsibility"
Takuma gulped. She's mad!
A grey bus stopped beside them and the doors opened. Nene climbed up
Old man…Wait for me!
.
.
Just when Gouenji and Endou were about to take the same bus as Nene, the rest of the team appeared, telling them coach Hitomiko wanted them to return to school as soon as possible and without complains, they said the woman sounded worried and probably something had happened. Both boys obeyed and returned to Koen to pick up Fubuki (or what was left of him) and Kidou. At first they thought Chaos had attacked the school but when they arrived and noticed everything was going smoothly (except for Shirotae's attack at the students with her machine guns) they decided to go to the boarding house. Their coach was waiting for them, the TV behind her showing images from the sky of a destroyed house
Hitomiko raised the volume of the television and flipped through the channels. The team members turned their heads towards the screen
"We have been informed that Japan's most renowned Martial Arts mentor, Shinomiya Osamu-sama has been hospitalized this afternoon—"
Endou gawked, petrified and shocked-"Masaka…"
"I can't believe they would go this far…"- Kidou uttered
The rest of Raimon's team stared in shock at the TV
Click
"—It seems the cause of the accident is still unknown but—"
Click
"—just a part of the main house was destroyed—"
Click
"—His granddaughter was absent during the accident but the police is asking questions right now so we can't—"
Click
"Rumors are spreading rather quickly through the neighborhood, Shinohara-san. Some people say that it was not an accident but that it has something to do with Aliea Gakuen—"
Click
"Aliea Gakuen was defeated in Okinawa, so Commander in chief, Hideaki-san says the police won't take into account that side of the story—"
Click
"The police say they are going to take over the case and investigate this incident until they find the culprits—"
Hitomiko turned off the TV, a sigh escaping her lips as she placed a hand on her hips-"Tomorrow morning you will try to talk again with Nene…"
Endou's eyes went big-"But—"
"It's an order!"- In a swift turn the woman left the room quietly. The soccer players looked at each other. Gouenji closed his eyes with a frown
Aki's gaze saddened-"How can we talk to her after this?"
Raimon's frustration rose up. Sure not all of them liked the raven-haired girl but of course none of them wanted her to suffer this kind of stuff, if Aliea Gakuen was behind this incident the girl would most likely blame them about it
Mamoru gritted his teeth
.
.
"—san…"
"Shinomiya-san…"
"Shinomiya-san…"
A gentle voice sliced through her mental wailings. The girl snapped, opening her eyes as she turned her head to the side to glance at the one calling her
"Osamu-san is fine, he'll wake up any moment…"- A nurse said-"You can pay him a visit if you want to"
Nene looked at her expressionless. She was still having problems to digest what was going on. It can be said that she didn't listen to what the nurse had told her. She remembers getting off the bus and running home, just to find a bunch of police cars, a fire truck and an ambulance parked in front of the wooden doors of her house, some men with a yellow tape encircling the crowded area, a police officer approaching her as she unconsciously grabbed Takuma's hand and then the officer telling her, her grandpa was on his way to the hospital and that he had to ask her some questions, from then on, she hardly remembers anything
The woman tilted her head to the side, the girl's lips parted; she blinked still lost in thoughts
"Ah—uhm…thanks"- The raven-haired girl managed to respond and courteously bowed her head
The nurse smiled vividly and nodded-"No problem"
Her ears caught the sound of the nurse's footsteps fading away; she stood up from the sofa, looking down at her feet and then lifted up her gaze to look at the door in front of her, she took three steps, her arm shot out slowly as she approached the doorway
She felt someone forthcoming her position. Hasty steps combined with a familiar essence
"Nene-chan, my mom said I could stay with you—"
The girl stopped. Her dazzling purple eyes darted down. Eyebrows crumpling in the middle, a shadow flashed her expression
"It's my fault Takuma…"
~Thursday~
Daily Chores/ Aide Memoire
NONE
Thursday, xx,xxxx
Kiramike Junior High
7:40 AM
Lockers—Second Floor
On Thursdays, the soccer practice is after school. Shinji, however, chooses to look for each member of the team in the morning to remind them about their schedule for the training session— just in case they have other: plans.
"Hey, you—"- The troll pointed at a random sophomore. The boy squealed and turned around to face him
"M-me?"
"Yes, you…"- Shinji nodded rigidly-"Where's Shinomiya Nene?"
The audience stepped back as the boy answered. Last time, a group of students answered they hadn't seen Nene, Shinji brutally threw them outside the window or in some cases they became his target-to-suffer-hell-trainings-during P.E
"Uhm…Shinomiya-san from class 2-A hasn't arrived…"- Shakily, the sophomore took a step back
Shinji's fist balled-"DAMN!"
CRASH! — The ogre hit the locker behind the boy, making him faint
The audience panicked-"AHHHHHHH!"
"Oh! Sorry…"
First Floor—Lockers
"Chi-tan! OHAYO!"- The twins greeted the petite caramel-headed girl with a smile
The small girl closed her locker and turned around to face them-"OHAYO HINA-CHAN, HANA-CHAN!"
"Have you seen Nene-chan?"- Hina queried
Hana pouted-"I bet she's not coming today, either…"
Chi's gaze dropped-"Takuma-tenchou stayed with her all night…"
The twins smiled sorrowfully-"Yeah, we received his message…"
The three girls sighed
Poor Nene-chan!
Third Floor
Class 3-B
Class 3-B was silent this morning. Just five students had arrived and two of them belonged to a different class
"I can't believe it…"- Misaki crossed her arms over her chest. Rin placed her bag over her desk and sighed
"I'm sure she's not coming today…"
Silence encircled the girls for some minutes. Neither of them knew how to touch the topic about Shinomiya's grandpa. Takuma had sent a message last night, telling them he was going to stay at the hospital with Nene, unfortunately once the girls tried to ask about her condition, he didn't replied any of the messages, which made them curious and of course, worried them.
Yumi stared outside-"Ne, Misa-chan…"
"What is it?"- Asked the brunette
Rin sat down and made a face as Yumi talked
"Shouldn't you be happy right now?"
"Eh?"-The brunette blinked and raised a brow
"Nene-chan's suffering you know…"
Misaki frown heatedly and smacked the blonde's head
"ITAIIIII!"
"I might not like her but I'm not as cold-hearted as to want her grandfather to die!"
Rin sighed and shook her head-"Yumi-chan…"
BANG!—the students jumped stunned when the classroom's door banged open ferociously. A tall figure standing under the frame caught their attention
"Takuma-san?"- Rin inquired standing up from her seat. Misaki mid-turned and looked at the red-headed boy with curiosity while Yumi blinked
"What are you doing here?"- Asked the blonde-"Shouldn't you be at the hospital with Nene-chan?"
"She came to school!"- Takuma stepped inside the classroom
Rin gasped
The model-like brunette glowered-"So what?"
Yumi closed her eyes-"I knew Nenezilla was strong but this is unbelievable…"
A pair or red eyebrows lifted up when Rin asked-"What's wrong Takuma-san?"
Nene's best friend shifted his expression, his green eyes darkening. His usual goofy smile had been replaced by a thin line.
"She asked me not to tell you anything but I think you need to know; she's going to tell Shinji-sen she wants to quit…"
Wordless. The girls stared at Takuma
Not wanting to face anyone at the moment, Nene went to the rooftop to pass some time alone before first period. Her gaze traveled all the way through the blue sky. The morning sun hurting her eyes and the gentle wind hitting her frail frame. She heard someone opening the door and the sound of heels moving onwards but she didn't turn around to look
"Here you are…"- A femenine voice uttered. The raven-haired girl lowered her lids and growled
"Principal…"- The girl acknowledged. The purple-headed woman made her way towards the schoolgirl and placed a hand over her head
"Sorry about your grandpa…"
Shinomiya nodded slowly-"He's fine, he's got strong bones and skull like me…"
Shirotae chuckled at the comment. It was the same thing Osamu said every time something happened to her. Her gaze darted to the girl's blank expression; she was worried, it could be seen through her eyes
"You could have stayed…"
"No, grandpa said I had to come…"- Nene replied. Shirotae lifted up her brows. The girl was lying, she just wanted to show her classmates and the rest of the school that everything's fine, she did not wanted any rumors to spread without her authority, she knew how much of a scandal her situation could cause, it was better than any news from a super idol.
"Make sure you don't skip any class…"
"Geez…hai! Hai!"
"Does your mother know?"
Shinomiya looked up at the principal-"I called her last night; she said she's coming back tomorrow"
"I see…"-The purple-headed lady turned around to walk away-"Don't worry, everything's gonna be okay"
Nene swirled around over her soles-"About the soccer club—"
The principal stopped in her tracks-"Talk about it with Shinji-sensei, I already approved but he needs to hear it from your own mouth…"
The girl nodded slowly-"I know…"
The principal lowered her long lashes and sighed-"It's hard to say this…but I miss your aggressive-side, the damages you cause in the mornings and the yells…"
Shinomiya kept silent. The woman placed her hands on her hips
"I might not show it, but I'm very fond of you. You remind me of my old days in High School. Maybe that's the reason why I'm so severe with you"
Nene smirked-"You lack reason Principal…"
Shirotae smiled-"Heh! You are too stubborn, Shinomiya. C'mon first period is about to start"
The girl nodded. Both left the place in silence.
.
.
Thursday morning classes came and went without injured people, broken windows or flying chairs. Students and teachers alike seemed a bit worried about that, they thought something big was going to happen during second period, like the explosion of a time bomb. Particularly the students in class 2-A, since they were having a hard time to concentrate given that two of their companions, even though, no words were spoken, had this threatening aura around them that called for a fight
Nene sometimes wrote down notes on her notebook and for the first time, she didn't fall asleep during any of the classes, she sometimes spaced out staring outside to the soccer field next to the building, but once Raimon's soccer team went out to practice, she completely ignored them and turned her dull face to the front, even if the girls squealed and approached the windows to look at the boys, she never, not even once, glanced at them
Misaki (shockingly not looking at her reflection in the mirror) on other hand tried her best to keep her focus on something else apart from the pigtailed girl sitting behind her. What Takuma had told them in the morning made her look at Shinomiya with different eyes, before; she could ignore her for 24 hours without having any urge to kill her, but now with every second that passed she wanted to take her small neck and twirl it. The brunette sometimes turned around to look at her rival and noticed how she ignored Raimon's team when they practiced or how her so-called notes were simply (very bad done) drawings.
The sound of books getting closed made both girls to snap from their inattentiveness
"See you tomorrow…"- The English teacher waved goodbye at his students. The undergraduates stood up and bowed at the educator as he left the room.
"Thank you sensei…"
The door closed
It just took two seconds for the noise to take hold of the place. Girls gathered in groups and gossiped about the handsome teacher as boys began running around and throwing things at each other. The only regularity of the day was class 2-A's ruckus, luckily they didn't approach Nene to flood her with questions about what had happened; of course they had seen the news but nothing compares to the victim's side of the story
CLATTER!—
Misaki turned around with the chair's racket. Nene had sat down in a hostile way. One elbow over the desk as her hand supported her cheek. The brunette frowned
"Takuma told us about your decision…"
Nene kept silent
Misaki's frown deepened-"Nice, don't say anything…"- she said mordantly, waving a hand and sitting down, simultaneously turning to look at the purple eyed-girl
The black-haired female sneaked a quick look at the brunette and then averted her gaze outside. The olive-eyed girl breathed in and out for a minute and tried. Yes. Tried to calm down
Kimura gritted her teeth-"Stop ignoring me, Shinomiya"
Nene noted Misaki's face flushing; she turned her face to the front and rolled her mauve eyes at the tall girl while saying-"This isn't the first time I ignore you, so stop being so conscious about it…"
The brunette was about to jump over to kill the raven lass but a silhouette standing next to her desk made her stop.
"Nene-chan?"
Nene looked up and recognized the owner of the sweet voice-"Rin…"
The cerulean-headed girl smiled soothingly at the raven sophomore-"Uhm…are you alright?"
Shinomiya pouted and sank some more in her chair-"I'm fine, there's no need to worry that much about me…"
"But you could be emotional unstable…"- The raven-haired girl frowned at the goalkeeper's comment. The soccer team's captain grinned-"How's Osamu jii-chan?"
Nene blinked and wavered to react but without looking at any of the girls, answered-"He's fine, he's got strong bones and skull like me…"
Yamamoto smiled-"That's great!"
Another third year girl appeared standing in the doorway-"Yamamoto-san, the meeting is about to start"
The blue-eyed girl turned sideways-"Coming…"-She waved at her sophomore companions and left
"See you later Misa-chan, Nene-chan…"
The girls raised a hand-"Ja."
As soon as Rin left, Misaki stood up from her desk and walked away. Nene followed her movements with an aloof expression; the brunette stepped outside the classroom and with a hand behind her, closed the door
Nene sighed-"Peace at last…"
"KYAAAA!"- A group of girls screamed and hid under their tables as a boy began throwing papers and pieces of chalk at his classmates as if they were targets. Nene glared at her companions. Hiroyuki was the type of guy that—unfortunately appears in every class— and likes to play pranks on others, especially pranks involving spitballs or whatever type of thing he can use as bullets.
One portion of chalk flew across the room and hit Shinomiya's forehead—ouch!
"Kono…."-The lass muttered offhandedly, glaring daggers at each person
Everyone stood motionless. Fingers whipped out pointing at the annoying caramel-headed boy standing in front of the teacher's desk, laughing like a maniac and throwing things as if he owned the place
A frown roofed Shinomiya's unflappable air. The raven schoolgirl lifted Misaki's desk
Eyes went big
"DUUUCK!"-Someone hollered
The students hastily obeyed
CRASH!
The school trembled
Finally, the usual morning uproar had begun.
.
.
Performing long and elegant strides, Kimura Misaki, Kiramike's idol, made her way towards the bathroom. She had spent first period without looking in the mirror and even if she knows how faultless her looks are, she still wanted to make sure her flawlessness hadn't shattered due to the anxiety of committing homicide.
The students that walked through the hallways glanced at the brunette rather surprised. It was rare to see Kimura without any group of guys or girls surrounding her, leave alone the fact she wasn't walking with her usual 'Killer Smile' but with a scowl. The brunette turned to the right in the corner and swung the door open to enter the restroom.
Misaki stood immobile before the mirror and then with a dramatic face touched her reflection-"Oh! Beautiful me, I finally get to see you…"
After some minutes the girl scowled again and stepped back, crossing her arms over her chest-"Geh! I'm not even in the mood to praise myself, that Shinomiya ruined my day…"
The sophomore turned around and went inside one of the toilets partitions. In that moment a group of girls went inside, laughing and giggling but also talking between whispers and murmurs
Misaki, being the queen of gossip decided to peep at their conversation
Once inside the restroom, girls reveal everything…such idiots!
"—that's what Kamiya told me…"
"Eh? So that Ice-princess wants to quit the soccer club?"
"Yep!"
"But not only that, Kamiya also told me her brother stayed at the hospital with the Ice-princess last night"
"AHHH?"
"Are they dating or something?"
Misaki chuckled at the comment. The girls went silent but ignored the eavesdropper. They could bully the girl later
"Nah! They are just best-friends, the moron-duo. Besides, Ice-princess might look sharp but she's actually an idiot"
"Hahaha! C'mon Ami-chan don't be so cruel"
"It's the truth! Shinomiya thinks that coming to school will stop the gossip about her situation but let's face it, that's not happening. My father works at Yokohama's hospital and he told me Osamu-san is actually in a pretty bad state…"
The girls gasped. Even Kimura was surprised
"How come?"
"Well…you'll discover that later"
"Ami-chan, what are you planning?"
Green-eyes looked down skeptically. Misaki noticed through a small gap that the girls were applying make-up as they talked
"I'm part of the newspaper club, so of course I'm going to announce all that using the PA system and making a report about it…"
Misaki's face turned red, a vein throbbed in her temple. Her hands turning into tight fists, the girls laughed again, maddening her. The fact they were using Shinomiya's circumstances as a laughing matter didn't surprised her, she knew cruel people like those girls existed, she could admit she was one of them but something was bugging her, something annoyed her about the way they talked about her bitter rival. Perhaps because she thought she was the only one with the right to badmouth her or maybe it was the detail they didn't know anything about the small girl.
With a loud bang, Kimura opened the door of the cabin and stepped aside. The group of girls, mostly third years, turned around scowling at the brunette
"You finally decide to show yourself…"-One of the girls uttered angrily. The green-eyed girl flipped a lock of hair over her shoulder and placed a hand on her hip; using a cute tone of voice she spoke up
"Isn't that low sempai? I mean, Using Shinomiya's state to make a scandal…"- The group stopped in tracks as the girl talked-"We all know how much you desire to be popular but don't use Shinomiya's pain to achieve that, it's pretty unsightly, even if it suits you—"
The schoolgirls gawked-"WHAT DID YOU SAY?"
"Hora! Don't you dare disrespect your upperclassmen"
"We don't care if you're this school's idol, we can still harass you"
Misaki raised a brow. She wasn't impressed. When someone gets scared of another person they usually use the 'bully-tactic' to keep him or her at standstill, a low tactic but a useful one, especially if it's done in group.
"C'mon sempais, don't get angry with Misa-chan"- The brunette approached the girls slowly, they stepped back, getting irritated at the way the lass spoke in third person, the brunette made her way towards the exit-"Because Misa-chan knows all of your secrets…"
The bunch gasped. Their shocked expressions pleasing the brunette as she exited the restroom. Her smile turned into a vicious look
"Don't be idiots and keep quiet if you don't want strange rumors ruining your image"
.
.
Misaki went back to the classroom.
Class 2-A was currently getting scolded by their homeroom teacher seeing as a certain someone sent a desk flying and destroyed part of the wall, not to mention she almost killed a student with her 'Kick of Fury'.
Without delay, once the brunette entered the room, she walked towards her spot and sat down (wondering where her desk was), the pigtailed girl behind her merely looked outside with a flat face but muttering incoherencies about how it wasn't her fault the school had shoddy constructions that couldn't bear with her force and on top of that how it wasn't her responsibility the school accepted a weakling like Hiroyuki.
"Shinomiya, are you listening?"- The homeroom teacher narrowed his eyes
The girl straightened up and lowered her eyelids, giving her sensei a bored and automatic answer-"….Hai"
The man sighed-"You should try controlling your strength, your grandfather is having a hard time right now, you shouldn't be giving him any more trouble…"
The group of students simultaneously turned to Nene, gasping loudly. The raven-haired girl glared daggers at the professor, feeling her face turning red in anger but trying her hardest to control her emotions. She knew her sensei was right but she didn't like his reproving tone or how he used her grandpa as an excuse to seize her.
Banging her hands against her desk the pigtailed lass jumped to her feet, the chair falling down behind her. The whole class started to panic. Misaki whispered harshly at her, telling her to calm down and how she shouldn't attack the teacher if she did not wanted detention or getting expelled, in short, if she didn't wanted any more troubles.
Nene growled, her body trembled and then closing her eyes still with a scowl all over her face, picked up her chair and sat down again. For the first time, actually listening to Misaki's advice
The professor—with shuddering knees—breathed out in relief. Thank you Kami-sama!
"PIIIIIIII!"
Shinomiya's ears perked up when the PA system of the school was turned on. Misaki glared at the speakers hanging on the corner as the rest of the students winced in aggravation
"Good morning, Kiramike!"
The voice that irrupted through the speakers belonged to Kichida Ami, a member of the Newspaper club and the girl Misaki had encountered earlier. The teachers looked confused. Shirotae was the only one that used the PA system to make announcements, she knew students liked to tittle-tattle and it was rare for her to give anyone permission. It had to be 'GREAT NEWS' if anyone aside from her used it or probably someone that had sneaked inside the cabin.
"Today…my heart skipped a beat. I saw her, I'm sure we all saw her, the girl that with her vicious and extraterrestrial power destroys entire soccer fields and is now a victim of Karma—"
Nene rolled her eyes
"But the question is. Why is she here? Why did she come?—"
Class 2-C was currently trying to keep Momo and Kaede from killing each other since the Otaku-girl didn't wanted to send a close-up pic of Fubuki's face to the orange-headed girl. While in class 1-C the twins and petite Chi were writing letters for the raven-haired girl ("What did you write Twins?"—"Uhm…let's see, 'Sometimes you just have to let go, Osamu jii-chan is old so let him rest in peace"—"GAH!")
The announcement continued
"Is it true what she says? We all know her, she's actually pretty popular and what was shown in the news last night made her even more popular, but—"
In class 2-B Aya and Asumi grimaced at the speakers—that girl is calling for trouble!
"You see. I talked to one of my most reliable sources of information and I was told she spent the whole night with a MALE STUDENT!"
In class 3-A, Yumi and Takuma looked at each other with worried faces.
"WHAT A SHOCK! And guess who the unlucky guy was?—"
The students and teachers paying close attention to the announcement and obviously watching with horror as many fans of Nene started to cry in the corner, waited in anticipation for the name to be revealed.
"IT'S NO OTHER THAN—CRASH!"
The PA system turned off with what seemed to be an explosion. Everyone looked up at the speakers with scared expressions. Misaki, simultaneously twisted in her seat to face Nene
OH NO!
But what she found was an empty seat
.
.
The bell rang around the campus. Students rushed out from their classes with alien-speed and tried to approach classroom 2-A trying to find the raven-haired girl without effort, since Shirotae walked all the way around the hallways to make sure the students kept their composure and in many cases sent them back or threatened with using her machine guns for fun.
The members of the soccer club met by chance in the cafeteria, but each decided to go their own way. Even Nene was there (she had skipped class), sitting on their table and eating alone. No one dared to talk to her about the morning announcement, her scary expression was the perfect way to say she was more than pissed; even so, rumors about Shinomiya beating up Ami had already spread like wild fire.
Misaki approached her with a brisk walk and tapped her shoulder from behind
"What did you do?"- She asked
Shinomiya jumped to her feet and twirled around to walk away-"None of your business"
Pushing back one of Nene's shoulders with her fingers, Misaki stopped the girl from walking-"Did you killed her? Where's the body?"
The raven-haired girl cocked a brow and snarled-"I didn't kill her. When I arrived Shirotae was already telling her off"- The girl slapped away the brunette's hand that had touched her
Some students stopped in their tracks to watch the fuss
Misaki unbelievingly eyed the lass-"Don't lie!"
Nene looked up with a frown-"I'm in a bad mood Kimura, piss off!"
The brunette enchantingly smiled at her rival-"Eh? Misa-chan is just trying to help"
"I don't want your help or anyone's help. Leave me alone"-The raven lass snorted. Kimura sighed
"Wait. What about the soccer club? We found out everything thanks to Takuma but were you even planning to tell us?"
Nene didn't replied straight away as she usually did
Misaki instantly frowned. Boys flinched
"I was planning on telling Shinji-sen first"
"Why?"
"You don't understand!"
Misaki's olive gaze darkened-"Does the accident of your grandpa involve Aliea Gakuen?"
The raven lass flinched
"Yesterday, coach Hitomiko called us when you left Koen. The accident had already happened and she told us it had been Aliea Gakuen, at first I thought she was lying but your attitude tells me otherwise"
Purple-eyes looked down
"Are you scared…Shinomiya?"
Nene gnashed her molars as her fists clenched.
Kimura had now discovered why she was so angry with the girl; it wasn't because of the soccer-club. No. Even though it really pissed her to know Shinomiya was quitting, there was something beyond that, something that, if truth be told, made her blood boil in rage.
"SHINOMIYA NENE—"
The raven-haired girl covered her ears-"Geez! Don't shout Misaki, I'm right in front of you…"
"FIGHT MEEEE!"
It was the fact that the first person that ever acknowledged her as a rival in soccer and the first person that had seen through her cute act and still, in some weird way, accepted her true nature; her rival, her NEMESIS, the girl she swore to hate 'till the end of the world and the girl whom she always challenged with no chance of winning, was actually being a big
C-O-W-A-R-D
Nene cockily rose a brow at the girl-"Do you want to die? I won't fight you…"
Misaki, in her 13 years of life, had never felt as frustrated, angry, annoyed, and upset as today.
How come the first girl she considered a worthy opponent; her reason to push herself forward and try her best to be number one in everything was now running away like a cry-baby? Running away from soccer, her favorite sport? Sure, her grandfather's accident was a big deal but why was she blaming herself for that?
Kimura felt as if she had wasted her energy in nothing but a loser.
And that, my friends
Was worst, much worse than taking away all her make-up, clothes and money
That
Actually pissed her
"GAAAAAAAAH! YOU ANNOYING AND STUPID GIRL!"
THUMP!—
The audience at the cafeteria stopped breathing.
Misaki's fist had punched Nene's cheek
I SWEAR TO KAMI-SAMA THAT THIS LOOKED LONGER ON WORD! GEEEEEH! SO ANNOYING! _ But still, I wanted to publish something, anything to make sure you know I'm still ALIVE AND KICKING-ASS (maybe the last part can be doubted...but I'm still very much alive...)
(1*) Ending Theme of the anime "High School Girls" by Meg Rock, the song is called "Incl" Is pretty catchy! I like it!
(2*) In the movie "Rocky", Rocky's father tells him he should work out his body since he's got no brain. That's why Yumi smiled when Chi said Misaki was like Rocky.
(3*) The anime-scene that Misaki and Nene resembled when they were about to collide with their flying kicks was a scene from the anime Naruto, when Naruto fights Sasuke on the rooftop and Sakura tries to stop them.
(4*) KORA: Means 'Hey!' in a rough tone. TAKO: Literally means 'Octopus' but it can also mean 'Stupid'. YAMETE: Means 'Stop'. CHOTTO MATTE: Means 'Wait a minute'. KUSO: Means 'Damn'. KONO: can be considered as way to say 'Bastard'. If I missed any word and you don't understand it, you can send me a message :)
AGAIN, SORRY FOR THE LATE UPDATE! And as you may have noticed I dedicated this first part to Misaki and Nene. I actually like Misaki's character, dunno why though. I think she just needed a bit more screen-time to be known, like Nene lol! xD I know many of you may think this story is actually going pretty slow since nothing great has happened until now, no soccer or hissatsu wazza, no Raimon, no Fubuki taking off his shirt and dancing off (WTH?) but I want you to know that I don't want this story to be solemnly about Raimon and how they kick-ass with their soccer or go "Soccer Yarouze" all the time, but about Kiramike's personal issues, I want the characters to develope and I also want to show sides that maybe if I only wrote about Raimon and Nene, wouldn't be shown, like what I did today with Misaki. I could have ignored her and said that Endou and the rest knocked some sense on Shinomiya (As they usually do with all the new characters) but I don't want that. Anyway, I hope you get my point, if not you can PM me! xD
Thank very much-uu! Kiss Kiss! my Bon Bon chocolats! Jaa ne!
Hikari-Letal-Blood! xD
