Chapter 15: Last Day of Humiliation

"It's settled then. Tabiki was never sleeping with a guy and has never worked as a maid. This will all be settled by Monday." He stood up, fixing his clothes then smiled.

"Just be sure about this.. Or I'll definitely kick your ass." She said.

"Do as you please, Kyuuri-san." He smiled. Tabiki walked out of the room. She sat down, leaning on the wall. Shiroyan sat beside her.

"Bikyu-chan.."

"It's just a rank down right? I'll still stay at Miyabigaoka. Scholarship is removed when it's out of the top 5. It's all right. " she gave a faint smile.

"There's still one and a half days until it goes all right, you know? You might hear worse things later on.." He said.

"Maybe.. But it's just two days.. I'll punch who ever they are." She stood up then walked away. Shiroyan followed. They walked out of the building.

"Hmph. That's right.. I'll still have tomorrow, Kyuuri." Tora laughed. He called the vice president.

"Kanade, I want you to invite our school mates to a big event..." He said.

Sunday morning..

I wonder what happens today... I should probably get ready for work. I rubbed my eyes and brushed my hands through my hair. I went to the kitchen to drink some water. I prepared my breakfast then took a bath. i tried to call Shiro-kun but he won't pick up. I wonder what's going on.. I walked to the cafe, still thinking about things that would happen until tomorrow.

"Ohayo minna!" I greeted everyone.

"Ohayo, Tabi-chan!" They greeted me back.

As the usual job, I served tables, greeting customers every time they go in and out. Suddenly, the lights went off, then someone was doing something. I just couldn't see clearly. Later, the guy pushed a button. What he did was set a projector and play a video. This was Tora's plan..

"Hello Kyuuri-san! Your guy didn't answer this morning right? Wanna know why?" Tora said.

the screen suddenly scribbled then showed something. A bunch of guys were gathering at the center. I realized, they were beating up someone. Some were kicking, some were crouching down, punching something... Someone..

"S-Shiroyan!" I realized it was him when I saw a ray of blonde hair among the soaces between the guys' legs surrounding him. I gritted my teeth and clenched my teeth tight.

"Poor Shiro-kun... Why don't you go here and help him up?" The lights went back on. The guy who set up the projector hurried on leaving. Before he got to get out, I kicked his stuff and his stomach.

"Tora..." I mumbled.

I didn't know what I'm doing. I just felt the strong wind gushing through my hair. I opened my eyes, I was running. Running as fast as I can to Miyabigaoka. My body moved on it's own, feeling the urge to save Shiroyan.

When I reached the school gate, I just realized that I was still in my maid outfit! Shit. this is bad. Real bad. I looked around and saw many students in the school! That bastard. He called all these students! I slowly walked inside, then saw Tora from a distance. I clenched my fists.

"Aww. How cute. Your costume looks good on you!" Tora laughed. Ugh. He mentioned costume instead of uniform so he could take all these back tomorrow. Good plan, but I hate it.

"Oh, take a look at your boyfriend though. He doesn't look as cute as you.." He smirked Then stepped aside.

I saw him lying on the ground. My eyes narrowed by what I saw. He was facing back so I couldn't see his face. But he looks bad.. My tight clench loosened. I ran towards him and knelt down beside him. I turned his body facing me. He looked worse than I thought. At first he looked like he just fell on something, with his dirty clothes, but no. He was unconscious. He had scratches and bruises all over him.

"Sh-shiroyan!" I was shaking him. But I stopped later.

I had my hand on his chest. I let my hand run through his blonde hair with some dirt on it then to his face. I wanted to beat all of them up.. But I decided not to. It would just make deeper trouble. I just have to wait until tomorrow so this would end.

I closed my fists, having some dirt on my hands. But I didn't care. I felt my face go hotter and my head getting heavier. few moments later, my eyes started to tear up. Tears started filling my eyes, to the point where I can no longer see clearly. Then tears suddenly streamed down my face, dropping on Shiroyan's chest.

I leaned on his chest, still crying. I hugged him, not caring about the people around me anymore. I don't even know what they're doing or what they're thinking about us. Later, I felt Shiroyan move a little. I sat up.

"Shiro-kun?" I wiped my tears off. He showed a faint smile and wiped the tears off my face.

"Are y-you all right?" He asked weakly. I laughed a little.

"More like are you okay? I thought you're the 'White Tornado Devil'?" I laughed then cupped his face with my hands.

"Yeah, yeah. They beat me up worse than a pulp." He said.

"Aww.. What a cute couple.. A maid and a beat up guy." Tora said.

I really wanted to hit him. But I just suddenly laughed. I feel funny.

"Know what? You're funny, Tora." I said. He looked confused.

"Why?"

"You just seem like you're trying so hard to piss me off." I laughed. I stood up and removed the dirt from my uniform then helped Shiroyan up.

"You okay?" I asked him.

"y-yeah. Thanks.. Even though I should've been the one who helps you." He said.

"I gotta save your ass some times too, you know?" I smirked.

We stopped by the gate and let him sit on the floor. I called Kurosaki and the others to help me up. Minutes later, they arrived. They helped me carry Shiroyan to a nearby hospital. He was treated by the nurse and the doctor said that he should stay. While he was sleeping, I got his phone and called his mother.

"Shiroyan! Why'd you call?" she answered.

"Um, Naoya-sama, this is Tabiki. I just want to let you know that Shiro-kun is in the hospital right now. It would be better if you came." I said.

"What happened? Okay, I'll be there. Thankyou very much for informing me!" She hung up.

My friends were outside his room, waiting for me. I guess they also want to talk with him. They never got the chance to meet him anyway. Just minutes after, he woke up.

"Oh, you're awake." I smiled. And held his head.

"Where-"

"I, Oh I mean, we brought you to a hospital.. I called your mom, she said she'll come here."

"Wh-what, why did you tell her? And how did you manage to bring me here?"

"I asked my friends. They're outside. I just don't want to let your mom worry.. Is that-"

"Shiro-kun! Are you okay? What happened?" His mother went in. She was holding his head and taking a good look on what happened to his body.

"I'm sorry for causing this to him.." I bowed.

"Oh, you're Tabiki-chan? That's all right.. You're his girlfriend anyway." She smiled. Wh-what? She knows? My eyes widened by hearing the words. I looked at Shiroyan with confusion, but he just smiled at me.

I went outside to give some time for his mother to settle down. I sat beside Mako. I breathed deeply then sighed.

"What happened?" Mako asked.

"Nothing, It's just about the maid thingy. It just got so out of control.."

"Oh. It did when you were absent.. They made up stuff that you were humiliated and stuff." He said. I was shocked.

"What? I wasn't even caring about that at all.. I just got late so I just didn't go." I said.

"Well, stuff happen."

"I hope your guy gets better. When he does, let's all hang out!" He smiled. Later, Ikkun and Kurotatsu came to the hospital too. Maybe he texted them.

"Oh, hey guys." I greeted.

The usual, they came in the room and asked stuff. I was feeling tired. My clothes were all dirty, not caring that I was in a maid uniform. I went into Shiroyan's room then sat beside the bed. Soon, my friends and his friends left, leaving me and his mother.

"Thank you for helping him. You're a really nice girl. I hope your relationship lasts." She held my hand then smiled.

"Thank you, Naoya-san." I smiled back.

"I will be going now. Please take care of him." She smiled then left.

Now it's just me and him. I feel happy that I got to know his mom. I thought of my brother and his girlfriend. It's still not official to them. They just have a hint on it but I didn't confirm that yet. I put my hand on his face then smiled. I kissed his cheeks lightly. Later, I felt my eyes get heavy and heavier until, I fell asleep.
