Chapter 7!
(Wow already on chapter seven!)
(***Please ignore the card game!***)
Cassandra stumbled into the classroom after being shoved in there by Hinata. She turned around to see Hinata looking around. He quickly gave her an apologetic look then closed the door. Cassandra glared at the door, not to put on a show, but for she was truly irritated. Hinata was only one of the many things irritating her right now. She turned around and gazed around the empty classroom. She sighed and scratched the back of her head trying to calm down some. That General guy just rubs me the wrong way. I know nothing about him, yet he knows everything about me. Cassandra looked around the empty classroom again.
"Where is everyone?" She asked out loud to herself as she slowly maneuvered around the desk to reach the door to the bedroom. She placed her hand on the wall and felt the warm glow of the green laser that checked her hand print. When she felt the warmth leave her hand she removed it as the door slowly slid open with a 'swoosh'. Cassandra took a step into the room before she was stopped by something hitting her in the face.
The object had just enough force to make her stop in her tracks while not causing any damage to her. The object was soft and wrapped slightly around her face. She reached up with her right hand and removed the object, realizing it was a pillow. As she pulled the pillow off her face she saw what sat in front of her in the middle of the room.
All of the guys sat in a circle all sitting on a pillow from their beds. In their hands were playing cards. Kei was lying on his back- legs in a crisscross position. Surprise and panic showed on his face. Across from him Akio had his arm out in front of him showing that he had thrown the pillow. All of the guys stared at Cassandra with blank surprised expressions- showing that they were trying to process the situation. Akio blinked several times then started to yell at Kei.
"LOOK AT WHAT YOU MADE ME DO! I'm sorry Cassandra. KEI made an uncalled comment. TELL CASSANDRA YOUR SORRY!" Each time Akio spoke to Cassandra his voice would go to normal, but when he spoke to Kei his voice rose several notches. Fusao and Kazuya had their hands to their foreheads and everyone else looked tired from hearing Akio yell. Cassandra guessed Akio had been yelling at Kei for a while now. Hoping to get Kei and Akio to stop talking, or yelling, Chioukichi turned around and smiled up at Cassandra.
"Hey, how's it going?" Cassandra smiled back at Chioukichi as she tossed Akio back his pillow. Kei and Chioukichi scooted over and made room for her to be able to sit down. She crossed her legs over each other and got comfortable on the floor before she replied back to Chioukichi.
"Not so good. The General asked if I wanted to become a higher up." Cassandra suddenly felt suffocated as everyone sucked in a big gasp of air. Everyone gabbed at her.
"You're joking right?" Chioukichi asked giving a little laugh. Cassandra shook her head oblivious to the tension that was forming on the air waves in the room.
"He said he could use my 'skills'." Cassandra held up both her hands and made quotation marks for the word skills. "I told him that I would never become one of his toys. Then he said something weird... Something about how I would really become one of his toys." Cassandra looked up at everyone. "Know what he could mean by that?" They all shook their heads but Fusao and Chioukichi. Cassandra raised an eyebrow at the two, questioning them. They exchanged a look then Chioukichi spoke.
"You see Cassandra, Fusao and I were here when the General took over, and there have been several rumors about him since he took over. The biggest rumor was that any female higher up he had were his..." Chioukichi's voice trailed off. Fusao quickly pick up what he was saying.
"That they were his toys. If you catch my drift." When Cassandra made no indication that she understood Fusao thought for a moment then spoke again. "He used them for sexual pursuit." Cassandra face trued apple red and then looked down at the floor. As she tried to hide her embarrassment Chioukichi spoke again.
"I heard he forces most of them and if they stop pleasing him then he makes them disappear. Luckily it's not many girls he takes." Chioukichi saw the look on Cassandra's face. "UH! I mean there are some girl higher ups that aren't his toys! They failed him in the bedroom but they still had skills he could use. I mean!"
"Chioukichi just shut-up." Chioukichi took Kazuya's suggestion and kept quiet. Kazuya looked over at Cassandra for a moment then smiled kindly at her. "Don't worry Cassandra. You denied him so you don't have to worry about him doing such disgraceful things to you. He may be a horrible man with little to no honor, but he has just enough honor to hold you to your wish." Cassandra nodded her head nod only showing Kazuya that she heard and understood him but to also clear her head of any naughty thoughts that had entered. After a few awkward moments Kuya took everyone's cards from them and began to shuffle up the deck.
"We shouldn't just sit here in this awkwardness. Come on; let's start a new game of black jack."
"I thought we were playing the plain version of that game called 21?" Chioukichi said with truthful confusion on his face.
"Chioukichi, just stop while you're ahead." While Chioukichi had his own little pout Kuya passed out two cards to everyone. Cassandra looked at her cards, like everyone else, till she sighed loudly, knowing full well that she still had questions to ask. She glanced around at everyone- who were all absorbed in their cards- and spoke out loud.
"What's a free day?" It took a moment for all the guys to register that she had asked a question- let alone what it was. Akira seemed quiet surprised by the question, though.
"You know about the free day?" Cassandra nodded her head in a knowing way, though she knew she knew nothing.
"The General told Hinata"- everyone flinched at his name-"to tell the other commanders that tomorrow is a free day."
"Did you ask them what it was?" Atsuo seemed to be asking the obvious, but it was a question they were all thinking about.
"Yea, but he didn't give me much information. All he said was that it was like a normal after school day, with activities and clubs. He wouldn't tell me much more." Kei snorted loudly next to Cassandra. Cassandra turned her head smoothly toward him with an eyebrow raised.
"I'm not surprised he didn't. I'm sure he doesn't like those days very much, but he has to give them to us." Cassandra quickly got confused- without letting it show on her face. The General had told her that it was a teat to train them all. Something is seriously wrong here. Cassandra quickly zoned back into what Kei was saying. "What with after that meeting they had."
"Wait- what?" Kei turned his head slightly to face Cassandra.
"That's right. You haven't heard of that have you. Well-"
"Kei!" Kei Flinched at the sound of Souta's voice. Cassandra looked over at Souta- not moving her head- and saw the fiery glare pointed at Kei. Kei turned his head slowly and face Souta.
"Why can't I tell her?"
"We made an agreement not to tell ANYONE, remember?"
"Bu-"
"Kei, he's right." They all looked over at Kazuya. Cassandra saw an unsure face on Kei when he did. She knew he wanted to tell her, but even she saw truth behind the words Souta and Kazuya said, though she did not know what they meant. "You remember the promise right?"
"Yea… I still think we should tell her."
"Kei!" Everyone flinched when Fusao spoke this time. Cassandra could have sworn that his voice sounded like thunder- booming and bouncing off the walls. "If he wants her to know he'll tell her." "He"? Who's he? Is it the General, but then what was the agreement/promise? Why can't they tell me anything!
Silence fell on the room as fast as a bowling ball fell from a roof. None moved, nor spoke. Cassandra knew it was because of her that this awkwardness fell upon them. Why did this happen? She sighed then tried once again to get an answer to her question.
"So what happens during a free day?"
"Well all of us-"Akio glanced at Kei and Chioukichi "-most of us are in clubs and activities, so we'd go to them. You will probably want to see what kind of activities they have. If you don't want to join any of them then it would be a great day to get to know this place."
"I'd suggest getting to know the other students." Akira said concentrating on his cards as if trying to plan the whole game ahead of time. "It's good to make friends outside of this classroom."
"Or enemies- hit me." As Akio handed a card to Souta Chioukichi spoke.
"Why enemies?"
"Why friends?" Chioukichi scowled at Souta as Fusao and Kei both asked for another card.
"Why should she make friends OR enemies? It'd be better to just sit and plot to destroy the world." Akio slammed down all his cards. He had all the aces. "Twenty-one exactly! MWHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"Eep!" Kuya flinched at Akio's sudden devil laugh.
"DAMN! How do you keep getting the Ace's Akio!" Souta yelled as he slammed his cards on the ground. "I had nineteen!"
"It's because he's the one dealing them," Akira stated plainly, heaving a sigh.
"Then he doesn't deal next time! Atsuo!" Atsuo flinched at his name being called with anger. Cassandra saw him slink back slightly as he peeked over his card at Souta. "You're dealing next. Akio give him the deck!" Akio shrugged with a smug smile on his face as everyone handed their cards to Atsuo. Akio slowly passed the cards over to Atsuo as he smiled all too sweetly at Souta - who was sitting next to Atsuo on his left while Kuya sat on the right. Souta just glared at him. Fusao heaved a loud sigh to response to what was going on - he sat on Akio's right.
"Souta can't you just lose once without complaining?"
"No." Cassandra let out a little giggle. Souta said that one word as a child would if it was the first word they learned. He even crossed his arms over his chest and turned away from Fusao. Cassandra instantly put a mental note in her head that she should always let Souta win if she wanted to end something quickly. As Atsuo shuffled up the cards and started to deal them Cassandra started to get them all back on topic.
"Is there anything I should really know about free days?"
"There are a few things." Kazuya said calmly. "You're able to go outside for outside activities but if you even try to leave you get vaporized."
"How can you say that so calmly?" Kazuya looked over at Cassandra confused by her outburst. Cassandra only sighed as Akira left where Kazuya left off.
"There are several clubs and activities to choose from. If you don't pick an activity usually you're used as a transport slave between the higher ups. Most of the time though you're not, as Kei and Chioukichi can explain to you." Cassandra began to wonder about what he was talking about till Kei spoke up next to her.
"Chioukichi and I have yet to join a club. None of them we really truly like. We also just like to relax when we can. If you want we can give you a tour of all the clubs."
"Thanks, I would like that a lot," Cassandra said with a genital happy smile on her face. Kei blushed slightly then looked away quickly, leaving Cassandra to be confused as to why.
"W-we'll show the whole campus too. If you don't like any of the clubs then you can hang out with Chioukichi and me."
"We'll have lot of fun!" Chioukichi gave Cassandra a thumb up
"After I win again!" Akio started to laugh evilly as he got his cards. He slammed his cards down hard on the floor before Cassandra Kei and Akira got their cards. "Two face and two aces! Twenty-one! AGAIN! MWHAHAHAH!"
"God Damn it!" Souta threw his cards into the air as he stood up suddenly. "I'm going to sleep!" Souta stormed to his bed and fell into it. He pulled the covers high over his head has he yelled, "GOOD NIGHT!"
Fusao sighed and leaned up against one of the beds running his hand trough his jet black hair. He heaved a heavy sigh then slowly stood up.
"I think that means for us all to go to sleep." Fusao started for his bed then stopped, his back facing them all, and spoke in a calm voice. "Please try not to cause any trouble tomorrow Kei, Chioukichi."
"No worries!" Kio and Chioukichi started to laugh till Fusao turned his head to where he could see them out of one eye. Fire shot out of his eye as fire rose up around him. Kei and Chioukichi yelped, flinched, and jumped far away from Fusao.
"I mean it you two." Fusao said in a low low growl.
"Y-yes sir!" The two jumped up into a salute, stood, and shook ever so slightly Cassandra had to cover her mouth and purse her lips together to keep from laughing.
"Get to bed!" Fusao barked. The two somehow jumped into their beds from where they were standing. After a few moments of silence Cassandra sighed a happily and started to walk to her bed.
"Guess I'll go to bed two. I'll need to be ready for tomorrow." Cassandra heaved a heavy yawn. "Good night you guys."
"Good night!" Cassandra couldn't help but smile as everyone said good night to her as she closed the curtain to change clothes. As she pulled back the covers, and started to crawl into her bed, a thought accrued to her. It feels like I'm back home, in a way. It feels as if I'm with family. Cassandra smiled to herself as she started to slowly give into a disease called sleep. I'm glad I have a family here, it helps me coup with this easier. Thanks guys for being so kind and welcoming to me.
Cassandra rolled onto her side trying to get comfortable again while still clinging to some of her dream. She was dreaming of being back home with her family, but all of classroom ten was there with her. They were having this big party celebrating nothing really. Kei and Chioukichi were both playing with Cassandra's younger siblings. Atsuo, Akira, and Kazuya were setting up decorations. Akio and Kuya were helping Cassandra's mother in the kitchen. Fusao talked with Cassandra's father with grins on both their faces. Souta started to set out the food for everyone.
Cassandra couldn't help but smile and enjoy the scene. It felt as if everything was going the way it was supposed to. At that moment Cassandra's father walked up to her and placed his hand on her head. He didn't say a word but just smiled at her. Behind him Cassandra saw everyone else looking at her, smiling also. Cassandra could feel tears burning the back of her eyes. Happiness flooded through her over and over again.
"Thank you," She whispered just loudly enough for everyone to hear.
"You're welcome, though I don't know what I did."
Cassandra spun around and sat up in her bed only to come face to face with Chioukichi. They stared at each other for a few seconds then Chioukichi smiled.
"Had a nice dream? You looked like you were, even though you were crying some, but because of the smile on your face I assumed they were happy tears." When Chioukichi said it Cassandra realized her face was wet. She quickly lifted her arm to wipe away her tears. Before her arm could, though, Chioukichi reached up with his hand and started to wipe them away with his thumb.
"Try not to cry in this world, ok? Even if their happy tears. This is a place where you need to show your strength, so any amount of tears will make people think you're weak." As Cassandra stared at Chioukichi with a blank expression a memory passed through her head.
Her father was doing the same thing to her on her first day of school. She didn't want to go she was afraid then her father told her something that made her so happy she started to cry. Her father told her to keep smiling but not to cry, today was the day for her to be strong in this new place. She wasn't to cry, even tears of joy, till she felt comfortable in the new place.
Chioukichi was basically telling her to do the same.
Cassandra smiled at Chioukichi then said," Don't worry I won't." Chioukichi seem slightly shocked by what she said then stood up straight and smiled at her.
"Good. Now what were you dreaming of." Cassandra threw her legs to the side of the bed then contemplated weather or not to tell Chioukichi the truth. She finally decided -with a smile- to tell the truth.
"I was dreaming of my family."
"That's nice." Cassandra gave a giggle after Chioukichi spoke. "What?"
"You don't know what I mean by my family." Cassandra moved her head upward and faced Chioukichi with a joyful smile. "I mean my immediate family and you guys!" Chioukichi blinked several times then his face started to turn red.
"W-what!"
"You've guys have become family to me." Chioukichi didn't say anything for the longest then started to laugh. He wrapped his arms around his stomach to show he was laughing to hard.
"Cassandra you're the best!" Chioukichi took a deep breath and stood up straight again. "You know Cassandra you remind me of my older sister. Well I guess I should say younger, I always took care of her like an older brother though she was the oldest. People even assumed I was the oldest. She always said weird but nicest tings like you do. Saying that were like family to her would be one of them. Thanks Cassandra. Well get dress the Commander will be here soon." Chioukichi turned around and opened the curtain a little let out a gasp then pulled it all the way back.
On the other side of the curtain were all the other guys, eavesdropping. They all were scrunched up against each other trying to get to a spot to where they could hear. When Chioukichi pulled back the curtains they were so surprised all they could do was stand where they were and blink. None of them knew what to do. Finally Akio stood up straight then jumped at Cassandra. He wrapped his arms around Cassandra's neck and started to cry into her shoulder.
"Waaaaaaaahhhhhhh! Cassandra! You're like family to me too! Waaaa-!"
"Akio!" Akio turned his head and started to pout as he slightly glared at Fusao.
"What? It twue!"
"You don't have to hang on her like that though!"
"You're just jealous Atsuo!" As Atsuo's face turned red Souta walked up to Akio, wrapped his arms around Akio's waist, then lifted him and walked away with Akio screaming to be put down.
"Sorry Cassandra," Kazuya said. "We didn't mean to eavesdrop. Kuya heard Chioukichi saying something about you crying and we were all curious." Cassandra smiled at them all. They are like family to me, even though I haven't been here long.
"Thanks you guys, and its ok. Now could you guys finish changing?" Several of them looked down at their shirtless chest and smiled an apologetic smile. As they all scattered Chioukichi closed the curtain behind him and Cassandra set to changing her clothes.
Cassandra sat in the classroom waiting for Hinata to show up. Even though she was worried about what was laid before her for the day she couldn't help but smile from the events earlier. If she had to stay here forever she was glad to be with them. WAIT! I keep forgetting that I'm here to help Hinata with over throwing the Facility so I can set everyone free! Stay focus, Cassandra!
Suddenly the door flew open and Hinata stood with his arms behind his back standing straight as a board. Half of his face was covered by a shadow casted by his hat. His face showed no emotion. His grey purple eyes showed nothing but disgust and irritation. Cassandra still found it hard to believe that his man wanted her to trust him.
"I presume that your fellow classmate as informed you all that today is a free day. I have nothing to explain to you." He stepped to the side to where they could leave the classroom. "Dismissed!" Everyone slowly stood then left the room picking up friendly chatting as they left.
As Cassandra passed by Hinata he moved his head down more to when the shadow from the hat completely hid his face. Cassandra felt as though he was hiding something form her. As she turned and walked by him to go down the hallway she see what he was hiding. There was a cut going from the top of his cheek to the end of it, at an angle. Cassandra would have stopped and asked a large amount of question if it weren't for the slightest tip of Hinata's head before he took off down the hallway opposite way the rest of them were going. Cassandra kept on walking as if she never saw the cut, but her mind couldn't stop running.
What happened! Did he get hurt- well of course he did. How did he get hurt though? Could he have fallen? Well I don't think a fall would cause that much pain. Did something or someone hurt him? Could it have been-!
*BAM!*
Cassandra took a step back and blinked away the stars as she laughter in front of her. She shook her head as she was starting to gain her vision back. She blinked a few more times and saw Chioukichi and Kei standing in front of her holding their own stomachs. Kei was bent over swaying trying to keep his balance while Chioukichi was leaning up against the wall, slowly sliding down it. Kei was standing in front of Cassandra.
"Haha- sorry Cassandra- haha- w-we saw a dazed look on your face and couldn't help but stop in our tracks and let you bump into us and see what you would do. When you bumped me the face you got – haha- it was AMAZING." Kei fell back into a laughing fit- that was until Cassandra kicked him in the knees causing him to lose his balance. As Kei fell to the floor Chioukichi watched in silence till Kei body hit the floor then Chioukichi fell into another laughing fit- this time harder. Tears were streaming down his face –contradicting what he said earlier.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! KEI GOT THE CRAP BET OUT OF HIM! WHY IS THIS SO FUNNY!" Chioukichi started to pound his fist on the wall.
"You three!" They all stiffened at a voice that held high authority. Cassandra turned around to see a higher up staring at them with cold eyes. "Get going! You're causing a distraction!" At that the three of them took off running down the hallway not once looking behind them to see if the higher up was after them. They turned several corner even back tracking to try to keep the higher up off their tail. After about an hour went by they stopped running. They instantly collapsed to the floor, all breathing heavily.
"We have to stay clear of all higher ups now." Chioukichi said through staggered breaths.
"Agree," Cassandra and Kei both said at the same time. Kei took a deep breath trough his nose then let out a loud and long breath through his mouth.
"OK!" Cassandra flinched at Kei's yelling. "Let's get going!" Kei started to march down the hallway with Chioukichi following right behind him. Cassandra just stared after them. She shook her head.
"I'm so confused right now, "Cassandra said under her breath. "What just happened?" She instantly started to process the recent event but her mind couldn't figure out how they happened. "Guess this is a foreshadow for the events later today." Cassandra sighed then started to follow after Kei and Chioukichi.
For the first half of the day Kei and Chioukichi showed Cassandra the outside clubs. Cassandra learned that Atsuo did track. He was the third tallest of the group so Cassandra figured as much. Atsuo seemed embarrassed to have Cassandra see him in his track uniform. Cassandra couldn't figure out why. She would have asked him if it wasn't for Kei and Chioukichi wrapping their arms in hers and taking her off.
They showed her the best places to hide outside from the higher ups. One of which was a bridge they could hide under- where Cassandra met several people from the other classrooms. They were all guys and they were smoking. Cassandra had to fight to keep from giving them a speech on how bad smoking was. Chioukichi and Kei quickly saw her discomfort there and decided to say good bye.
The next clubs they showed her were inside. The first club was the music club. Cassandra could hear music before she saw the room. It was smooth upbeat jazz. Cassandra couldn't help but smile. Smooth jazz was her mother and sister's favorite type of music. When they were outside the room, however, Kei and Chioukichi blocked Cassandra's path. She could tell they were up to no good.
"Before we go in," Chioukichi said.
"You have to guess who in the classroom is in this club," Kei finished. Cassandra smiled at them while shaking her head slightly. She thought for a moment.
"Is it…. Kazuya?" The two shook their head with smiles on their faces.
"He was for the longest then found another thing to suit his … talents." Kei said with a sly smile on his face as he and Chioukichi shared a look.
"If you guessed that a years ago you'd be right, but you're wrong now."
"Then who is it?" Chioukichi and Kei only smiled as they opened the door to the music room. Warily, Cassandra walked into the room and looked around. She froze when she saw who was playing on the shiny white piano.
It was Souta.
His eyes were closed and his head was tilted slightly. Cassandra couldn't see Souta's hands but she saw his arms moving. She could tell his fingers were dancing on the keys. Several yards in front of Souta, and where he sat, was a man with purplish like hair that had a tent of red. He wore a hat, with a feather in it, on his head that casted a shadow across his face. Cassandra could just barely see that his eyes were also closed. His body swayed with the music as he played on a saxaphone. He wore a white blouse, tight blue jeans, and cowboy boots. Cassandra was surprised he could wear what he wanted to that was out of uniform. The right of both of them in a clear box was a drummer. He had his eyes opened but also swayed with the music. He did a light tapping on the drums in front of him.
At that moment a guitarist joined them and made the entire mood of the music change from just smooth jazz to upbeat smooth jazz. Slowly other musicians joined in and make the music sound like it came from an anime. Cassandra felt as though she was being transported to another world. She felt like she was flying through the air in outer space seeing many things. Rainbows, dancing stars, people having fun, and many many more things. It made her feel extremely happy.
She opened her eyes when she realized she had closed them and saw Souta open his. His eyes lock with Cassandra's almost instantly. He glared at her then mouthed "Get out of here. Were practicing and don't need a distraction!" Cassandra nodded her head then turned around to see Kei and Chioukichi already making a beeline for the door.
As the closed the door behind her she could feel the happy stares from behind her. She turned around to see Kei and Chioukichi being at her.
"What did you think?"
"That was amazing! I felt like I was flying!" Cassandra couldn't hold in her excitement.
"They're getting ready for a recital for this afternoon. It took them a look while to get the
General to agree to it." Cassandra stopped in her excitement and stared at Chioukichi.
"How did they get him to agree?"
"They got a higher up from one of the other classrooms to convince him to come down and listen to them. After that the General was more than happy to let them have a recital. Only thing was they could only practice on free days. And they played on the fifth free day after that, which is today."
"Oh, ok, got ya."
"Good," Kei said. "Because we don't have time to try to explain it. Onward to the next club!" Kei started to march down the hallway, Chioukichi closely following behind. Cassandra only smiled at them, not saying a word, as she followed them down the hall.
The next club was all about magic and legends. Cassandra was fascinated at first till they tried to make her join. Kei had to quickly distract them while Chioukichi snuck Cassandra out. After that one was the science club. Akira was the club president for that one. They were busy testing a gas and liquid theory when Chioukichi and Kei started to crack nerd/geek jokes. Akira snapped at one of the jokes and took whatever he had in his hands and dumped in on the two. At first they were just covered in green liquid then it started to burn. They ran out screaming with Cassandra following close behind to make sure they didn't get into anymore trouble. Before she left the room the apologized to the club then ran out.
She saw Kei and Chioukichi run into a room at the far end of the hall. By the time she reached to room she could hear someone shouting orders to get supplies to help the two. She recognized the voice.
It was Akio's voice.
Cassandra pushed aside the sliding door and instantly saw people rushing to gather supplies. In the far left hand corner Cassandra saw Akio, in a white doctor coat, pushing a screaming Kei and Chioukichi into a room then quickly closed the door behind them. It wasn't until Akio pushed a button on the wall beside the door did he take a breath. He leaned up against the wall and finally looked at the door. When he saw Cassandra he quickly walked over to her.
"Don't worry. Luckily the stuff that Akira dumped on then only feels like its burning but doesn't actually burn you." Cassandra let out the air she was holding in. "I put them in that room so they could wait for the burning feeling to go away."
"Wait you're not going to give them anything to help them?" Akio laughed at what Cassandra said.
"Please." Akio waved her question off.
"Then what were you shouting at everyone else to do." Akio looked around him as if realizing what had happening.
"Oh, just to make them think I was really going to help." Akio looked at everyone else in the room and gave them all thumbs up. "Good job! You guys did an amazing job in tricking them." Everyone let out a sigh of relief.
"Think that will teach them?" One girl asked that was closest to Akio. Akio smiled at her then sighed, placing his hands on his hips.
"I don't think so. Plus-"Akio smiled at them all and winked," if they ever DO learn then were out of test subjects." As everyone laughed and agreed with Akio Cassandra felt dread run through her. I need to make sure I'm always on Souta's and Akio's good side. Akio turned around and looked at Cassandra causing her to flinch. He let out a little laugh.
"Don't worry. Those two come in her every time we have a free day. The always find a way to piss off someone. If you ever get hurt I'll make sure your cared for, Cassandra," When Akio said her name everyone gasped.
"This is Cassandra!"
"You mean the legend 47!"
"I've heard the higher ups talk about her at lunch!"
"She's amazing!" Suddenly Cassandra was surrounded and was being asked a copious amount of questions. Akio was trying to calm them down to no prevail. It took the sound of a door slamming open to get everyone to be quiet. They all looked up, some or most turned around, to the back of the room to see Chioukichi half way out of the door way and Kei close behind. Both had the look of evil and dread on their faces.
"Akio." They said his name in a ghost like voice causing everyone to flinch. "You left us to almost die, and now you're letting them harass Cassandra?" The two started to come toward the group making everyone step back except Akio and Cassandra, though Cassandra was considering on running out the door with the aura that was quickly filling the air. "You call yourself a man!" Chioukichi was now in Akio's face. Akio only just smirked at Chioukichi.
"That I do." Kei smirked also at Akio showing that he was about to lay his card on the table.
"I wonder whether or not you'll keep calling yourself after we tell Kazuya of what happened?" With that Akio's smirk was wiped clean off and was replaced with pure terror.
"You wouldn't." Akio tried to play it off that he wasn't afraid but Cassandra could see right through him.
"We would." The two said at the same time with a dark shadow forming on their faces and behind them. Cassandra could see the sweat start to form on Akio's forehead.
"Ahhahaha! It was all just a friendly joke!" Akio turned his head around and looked at the group that was now huddled in the corner. "R-right?"
"Uh-huh!" Everyone started to agree with what Akio had said.
"S-see!" Chioukichi took a step away from Akio and Kei walked over to Cassandra."
"Good." Chioukichi said. "Now we'll be going and not a word will be spoken of this, nor will we me miss treated next time, right?" Everyone nodded their head eagerly. Kei then began to lead Cassandra out of the room Chioukichi close behind. The three of them kept walking until they went down to another level. Then Kei and Chioukichi started to high-five each other.
"That was the best!"
"Now he'll stop messing with us!" Cassandra stared at the two, stunned.
"You guys were messing with Akio?"
"YEP!" The two said at the same time. Also at the same time Cassandra punched them both in the gut causing them both to fall to the floor in pain.
"You two." Cassandra could feel her own anger come off of her in like heat waves. She could only dream about how it felt to everyone else. "YOU MADE ME THINK THAT YOU WERE SERIOUS! YOU HAD ME SCARED!"
"B-but!" Cassandra didn't wait for them to try to explain themselves before she stormed off. It wasn't long till she heard their footsteps behind her.
"Sorry Cassandra!" Chioukichi said coming up to her right.
"Honest. And we were going to go see Kazuya wither way." Cassandra slowed down to where I was easier for the guys to keep up with her.
"Wait we're going to see Kazuya next?" The two grinned at her.
"YEP!" The two once again linked their arms with hers. They started to drag her along till they reached the door that had the boxing ring in it. That was the room where Cassandra first broke a rule and caused a chain of events that changed her entire experience here at the facility. She felt slight dread to be standing in front of the room. At that moment a thought occurred to Cassandra.
"Wait, why would Kazuya be here?"
"You see…" Chioukichi's voice dropped off. "You'll just see."
Kei pushed open the door just in time for Cassandra to see Kazuya punch someone high into the air and yell, "YOU HAVE NO HONOR IF YOU ACT LIKE THAT IN THE PRECENSE OF WOMEN!" The man that was up in the air, for only a few moments, came crashing down on the hard tile floor with a loud "Thump." Blood started to come out of his mouth. Several girls that were in the room started to take pictures of either the man on the floor or of Kazuya.
"KYAA!"
"Our hero!"
"Kazuya is, and always will be, the best!"
"He's just so sexy!"
"And manly!"
"He's so full of honor!" Cassandra blinked several times at the group of girls. They were all different yet all saying around the same things. They were fan girling over Kazuya. Cassandra leaned over to Kei and left her hand to cover her face so no one would see what she was about to ask.
"Why are there all these girls here to watch Kazuya?" Kei looked at Cassandra confused then realization hit him.
"OH! That's right!" Kei looked over Cassandra at Chioukichi. "We never told Cassandra about the club."
"Your right!"Chioukichi made a fist with his right hand then tapped his left palm with the side of the fist. He smiled at Cassandra, closing his eyes. "We have a fan club."
"What?" Cassandra felt as confused as ever. Kei decided to help Cassandra understand. He threw his arm over her shoulder.
"Classroom ten has a fan club. A club dedicated to all of us guys, well before you got here, and every free day they choose one person to follow." Cassandra blinked several times before in finally sunk in.
"EHHHH!" Cassandra quickly turned her head to look at the group of girls. What have I gotten myself into!
