Chapter 15: The true enemy revealed
"Relax," Ikki said in a voice so low she was certain no one else heard it. In addition, she could barely hear him thanks to the thumping of her own heart.
"Introductions will happen over lunch," a male voice said. At least that is what she thought she heard. She could have sworn she had a female teacher. She just couldn't tear her eyes off the person standing at the head of the classroom. Her mind raced and her heart pounded. Gushing sounds echoed in ears.
She thought about running then. She did however remember something she saw on the discovery channel. Something about, if you run, they can smell the fear, and will chase you. She decided against it.
"Let's continue with the exam," the stern voice rang out.
This seemed to break her out of her stupor and well everyone else too. It's how it usually is when there is a new student. Not only was there another student shortly after her arrival but he had left quite an impression on the female body. Myzuki's feelings weren't ones of Oh who's the hot new guy, but of why the fuck was this bastard here.
Katashi was standing there smug as ever and he was looking right at her too, his gaze locked. He cleaned up nice. Without facial hair and a cigarette in his mouth, he appeared younger.
She felt Ikki's arm tighten around her shoulder. She relaxed and decided to look out the window. She wasn't going to let him get to her.
"Don't you too look cozy," Katashi said as he took the desk in front of Onigiri. That desk was always available, for some apparent reason.
Since their little argument about the desk, which seemed like forever ago (lol). Ikki had decided to just grab a chair and share the desk with her. He was making his intentions clear.
"You Jealous," Ikki smirked, he glanced over to Katashi out of the corner of his eye.
Katashi laughed at this. He was like crying laughing.
"What the hell! We're in the middle of an exam. Can you guys try to restrain yourselves for once?" Orihara slammed his hand down on the desk.
"Sorry sir," Kazu said.
"I like women. She a little girl," Katashi continued.
"She feels like a woman to me," he had a sheepish grin on his face.
"I'm right here," Myzuki stated. She was blushing. They couldn't be seriously talking about this.
"I don't think you know what a woman looks like. Let me see, I'll show you." he pulled out his cell phone. He began going through it, like if he was looking for something.
"I'm obviously speaking fr—"
"Enough." Myzuki abruptly stood up. "Where do you get off?"
"Here, you recognize her right Ikki, How about her?" Katashi held up his phone and showed two different and very risky pics of some very beautiful women.
"You know those girls," Myzuki asked. She looked over at Ikki accusingly.
"Whoa their hot," Onigiri chimed in.
"That's it! You guys are staying after class to retake the exam!" Orihara by this point had stood up and was waving around a rolled up newspaper like the one he was going to hit them with it.
"Whatever." Myzuki just walked out of class.
She has made her way up to the rooftop. Ikki showed up shortly after.
"Right now I just want to be alone," She said.
Ikki was about to say something when Katashi decided to make his appearance.
"You're like a dog in heat. The way you're up her ass." He lit a cigarette. He took a long drag, as if it's been a long time and exhaled slowly. "I needed that."
"Look asshole,"
"Ikki,"
"Wha-,"
"I have your dad Myzuki," Katashi stated.
She could not believe what she just heard. She did not want to believe it. She was about to ask him to repeat himself because she could of sworn she misheard what he had said. However, he was already holding up his phone again but with another image this time. It was one with her dad tied up to a chair in what seemed like a fancy hotel room. In the picture, one of those women that were in the previous pictures was holding today's paper.
He had anticipated her reaction. He planned this. Was Kenshin in on this? All these things were swirling through her mind. Her cell phone rang then.
"I would answer that if I was you," Katashi suggested.
She complied.
"Myzuki…,"
It was her dad. He sounded weak. What had happened to him?
"Here Mikoto I want to have some more fun with him,"
"Moshi, Moshi,"
"Who the fuck are you,"
"You need to learn some manners little girl. Don't get cocky. Remember your place," Mikoto said.
"I would listen to her. Those two can be a handful sometimes. Not even I can keep them on a tight leash." Katashi appeared laxed smoking his cigarette, leaning against the railing. Without a care in the world.
"What do you want," Ikki asked.
"Simple." Katashi began.
"My regalia," Myzuki finished.
"Give the girl a prize. I am not Kenshin. I don't dick around sweetheart."
"Fuck n-," Ikki started.
"Fine, When and Where?" Myzuki didn't care what it took to get her dad back. She was done with the bullshit. To be honest, she just wanted all this to just end already.
"That was easy. Kenshin's a fucking idiot. Sunday night at the top of Tokyo tower," Katashi said.
"See you then," With that she left the rooftop and school all together. She didn't know how to deal with any of this. She needed time to process things and let them sink in. She needed to get her head in the game because she was going to make him pay.
"You know you shouldn't go under estimating her and I'm not saying that because I like her. I'm saying it because as an AT rider she's almost as good as me and that that says a lot." Ikki couldn't help the self-admiration.
He can't be serious, Katashi thought.
"You're not off the hook sky king. See, because I'm coming for you next," Katashi straightened himself and threw out his cigarette, before making his own exit.
