CHAPTER 002: ONES CRUEL INTENTIONS

The next day came faster sooner than expected and Manjoume had managed to finish his mop duty as well as make up the quiz he missed earlier that day along with attending the rest his classes before retiring back to his dorm later that night. He was tired as well as stressed. After yesterday, he felt he needed to bathe considering what he'd did with Judai yesterday and that's exactly what he'd done the moment he woke up this morning. He took a nice long hot bath. 'Now that dropout boy knows my secret. I have no doubt in my mind he's going to blab to somebody. Can never trust a slacker like him as far as you want to throw him. Hm. I still have two more days to screw with his head. Might have something that just might work.'

He stood up in the tub, reached his arm out and grabbed his towel off the rack that was next to it and wrapped it around himself as he stepped out of it and walked toward the sink. He looked into the mirror at himself and smirked. 'Heh. You're in for a rude awakening today, Judai.'

Meanwhile in class, everyone was socializing with each other while waiting for Professor Banner to start today's lesson but unfortunately, he wasn't there yet. Like usual, Sho was sitting next to Judai. Ever since yesterday, he'd been wanting to ask him about the girl from yesterday but the more he pressed into it, the less the brunette would tell him. Though at the same time, he was jealous that his friend got to kiss a girl that acted as if she WANTED to kiss a guy even though they were from the Osiris dorm. Still, it was odd since that same girl was very rude to them.

"Aniki, are you okay? You look more tired than usual," Sho said, poking Judai in the shoulder.

Judai yawned, appearing as if he didn't get much sleep last night. His mind was too distracted by the events of yesterday. Something was amiss with Manjoume that didn't make sense. He wouldn't tell him just how he was able to turn into a girl by simply having water used on him even when he asked. He just kept … sexually harassing him. That was still pretty much creepy, but it was the way the raven-haired boy had done it that just made his body naturally react to the feeling. It was odd, for him at least. There was also something that Manjoume had said that bothered him as well. He said, 'he's seen the way he looks at him'. That confused the brunette as well. All Judai wanted was to be his friend but of course, Manjoume thought he was better than everyone, especially those from Osiris Red and would only hang around those from the blue or the yellow dorm.

To look at him in another way, never really crossed Judai's mind, let alone appealed to him. Deep down, he knew Manjoume wasn't a bad person he just needed to understand that he wasn't alone and that he did have people that cared about him. There was one other thing that concerned him as well. The way he was acting yesterday. 'Was he serious or was he just screwing with my head?' he wondered, yawning again.

"Hai, I'm fine, Sho, just a little tired is all. Didn't get much sleep last night. Had a lot on my mind," he finally said.

"Ohh, I see. You're probably thinking about that girl from yesterday that you were kissing, aren't you?" Sho asked, snickering.

Judai blushed as well as sweat dropped at Sho's attempt in joking around. "No offense, Sho, but that's just completely lame. And I really don't want to talk about it either. I just … kind of want to forget about it," he said, laying his head down on the desk. 'If Sho only knew who that girl really was, he wouldn't be joking about it.'

Just then all the guys, most of them Obelisk Blue and some Ra Yellow were whistling, apparently having seen something worth looking at and Sho became curious as to what they were all looking at and turned around to see what all the commotion was about. At the top of the stairs was Manjoume, in girl form, wearing a black mini-skirt with a red halter-top, white knee-high stockings, and red platform shoes. It's amazing how guys can be so clueless. Sho recognized that it was the girl from yesterday that was with Judai, dressed freaking hot.

"Hehe, Aniki, wake up! Aniki!" Sho was trying to nudge Judai awake.

Judai's head shot up quickly, assuming he was in trouble. "E-Eh? What is it? Did Chronos Sensei catch me sleeping again?" he asked.

"Iie, but if he did, he would've tried to find some way to expel you for it. But no, that's not why I woke you up. Look. It's that girl we ran into yesterday." Sho pointed at the top of the stairs.

Judai turned his head to look, getting the shock of a lifetime as he saw Manjoume there, as a girl dressed in a seemingly skimpy outfit. 'M-Manjoume?! No way! He's … oh no, don't think that. Don't think that he's hot, don't think that he's hot!' he mentally scolded himself.

Manjoume started walking down the stairs, the guys kept whistling and hollering at him like the horny dogs that they were. The Obelisk Blue girls, on the other hand, were just disgusted by his appearance. Well, most of them anyway. He wasn't dressed in all that much of a revealing outfit. Some things he did try his best to keep hidden. Had to leave something to the imagination.

As Judai saw Manjoume coming down the stairs, he hurriedly turned back around, pretending as if he didn't see Manjoume, let alone know that was him, even though he did.

"Etto, Aniki, why are you so nervous?" Sho asked, clueless about the entire situation between Judai and the 'mysterious girl'.

Judai shook his head from side to side. "Trust me, Sho, you really don't want to know."

Manjoume placed a hand on Judai's shoulder, smiling down at him while flipping his hair. He'd leaned forward just close enough to him to where the halter-top he was wearing that gave many a clear view of his cleavage. "Hey, Judai-kun. Did you miss me?" he asked in a cheerful tone.

Judai felt a hand on his shoulder and began to panic. He turned his head around only to have a face view of Manjoume's chest, his face turning a deep shade of red as he tried his best not to start drooling, remembering the incident from yesterday where his rival allowed him to know what they feel like. A soft touch that was hard to forget.

"Judai-kun? So, you do know this girl, Aniki?" Sho asked. "Aniki?"

Judai had a blank stare on his face as he continued to stare at Manjoume's breasts, but he tried to shift his eyes in the opposite direction to make it seem like he wasn't entirely looking at them.

Manjoume giggled and grabbed Judai's hand again like he'd done yesterday. "So, I take it from the way you're staring so hard at me, you like what you see?" He climbed atop of the desk in front of Judai, crossing one leg over the other, which caused the skirt he was wearing to rise a little higher. He then leaned closer to Judai's ear and whispered, "So, tell me, dropout boy, just how happy are you to see me?" he asked, looking down in the direction of the brunette's lap.

Judai heard Manjoume's question and was at first confused by it but with Manjoume being so close to him like he was, his blush remained while also trying to refrain from becoming excited but was not having much look with that. He looked down at himself and then back up at Manjoume, realizing what he'd meant by the question he'd asked him.

"Hey, baby, why don't you quit wasting your time with that dropout boy and come get with me?" asked one of the Obelisk Blue guys.

A vein appeared on Manjoume's left temple as he glanced up to see who said that and saw that it was one of his friends, well ex-friends and cringed. "Iie, I don't think so. This one dropout boy packs way more punch than you ever could," he said as he wrapped both of his arms around Judai's neck.

"Oh please, I can out-duel that punk anytime and anywhere. I still say it's a fluke that he beat Chronos Sensei," said another one of Manjoume's other ex-friends, the one that wore the glasses.

"Yeah, I don't think so, one-inch boy," Manjoume replied and everyone laughed at the insult while the guy stood up in anger.

"How dare you say such a disgraceful thing that's not even true!?" he shouted angrily, his face red from blushing in embarrassment.

"Right. You say that but deep down, you know it's true, otherwise, you wouldn't be trying so hard to defend your manhood." His friend sat back down in his seat while everyone went 'Oooh'.

Judai blushed, given that Manjoume had wrapped his arms around his neck. At the same time, he saw how he didn't hesitate at all in insulting his friend. 'What are you doing, Manjoume?' he wondered but as he thought about it, ever since Manjoume lost a duel to him, everyone had been treating him differently so in some ways, the guy deserved it but in a way he didn't.

"So, um…. Yeah, this is very uncomfortable. Could you let me go now?" Judai asked.

Manjoume pretended to be a little hurt by that and pouted playfully. "Uncomfortable? Surely you don't mean that I'm making you uncomfortable, Judai-kun?" He began rubbing his nose against Judai's. All the guys were getting jealous because of the simple fact that Manjoume was paying more attention to Judai and not any of them.

As for Judai, he was creeped out and somewhat excited at the same time, knowing then that Manjoume was torturing him on purpose to get back at him for what he did to him. He knew he deserved it but damn, this was just too much. Though everyone seemed to quiet down the moment that Professor Banner came downstairs, carrying his cat Pharaoh in his arms as he always does. That's when he'd noticed Manjoume all hugged up on Judai and simply chuckled.

"Aniki, Daitokuji Sensei is coming this way," Sho warned him, shaking Judai's arm lightly.

"Yeah, well, tell that to her," Judai said, trying hard not to stare at Manjoume's breasts, but it was hard not when they were close enough to his face.

"Well, well, I see we have a new student today, nya," said Professor Daitokuji, while rubbing Pharaoh's ears.

Manjoume looked up at Professor Daitokuji. "Uh, well, uh, yeah. I guess you can say that I'm new," he giggled.

"Then you should know it is required for young ladies to wear more appropriate attire, such being the girls' uniform? What is your name by the way?" Professor Daitokuji asked.

Manjoume hopped off the desk and stood up. 'Crap, I forgot to come up with a name. Damn it! Is he trying to expose my secret? But I need a name … Aha! I got one!'

"My name is Mizuki," said Manjoume.

Pharaoh had hopped out of Banner's arms and onto the floor, walking over towards Manjoume and started rubbing up against his leg and purring. "It seems as if Pharaoh has taken a liking to you. So, Mizuki-san, what is your last name?" Professor Daitokuji asked.

"Uh, well, I really don't like to give my last name." Manjoume sat down next to Judai this time and wrapped his arms around his neck again. "But, I do know that it will be 'Yuki' someday," he giggled. "But if you really need one, fine. Mizuki Jikan."

Judai's face turned red once again. "H-hey, wait a minute. I never said anything about … it's not what you think … I mean we're not …"

Sho smacked Judai lightly over the head again to stop him from babbling like an idiot and Manjoume only giggled some more.

"Thank you very much, Miss Jikan. Now, the school requires you to wear the girls' uniform. So, if you could please, dress in the proper attire," Professor Daitokuji said as he walked down the stairs and to his desk with Pharaoh following behind him.

"Hai, sir," Manjoume replied, then rubbed his cheek against Judai's before planting a kiss there. "I shouldn't be gone too long. Hope you don't miss me too much while I'm gone, Ju-dai-kun." He got up and left to go put on the girls' uniform.

Judai breathed a sigh of relief as Manjoume took his leave. He didn't know how much longer he would've been able to hold out because this was just getting way too weird. It would be easy to just tell someone, but he had a feeling that there was a reason that no one knew. Though he couldn't shake the feeling that the teachers might. He laid his head back down and sighed once more.

"So, you are the one dating that girl, Aniki? I could've sworn her boyfriend was an Obelisk Blue student. She never said anything about it being someone from our dorm. This is rare. And what's even rarer and even strange, that it's you. You should feel so lucky, Aniki," said Sho as he looked at him.

Judai couldn't help but sweatdrop at Sho saying that. There was nothing about this situation that would make him feel lucky in the slightest. He was the one stuck with holding a secret that technically wasn't his and given how stubborn Manjoume can be, he wasn't going to tell him the truth easily. No, not without putting him through hell first just to make sure he didn't say anything. That's what all this was about. "Yeah, Sho, can we just drop this for right now?" he asked, "I would like to enjoy my personal space before Mizuki comes back."

Teaching had begun since the class had finally quieted down after Manjoume's sudden entrance as a female. Manjoume had finally returned wearing a customized no sleeved Osiris Red uniform jacket, with the shoes to match but he kept on the outfit that he had on earlier. He had a bit of reasoning with Chancellor Samejima of the school that just for a couple days, he wanted to attend his classes as a girl. The request was strange, but he didn't argue against it so long as he continued to attend class and keep up his grades. As he walked down the stairs, the guys had begun staring at him again but of course in the back of his mind, he wished he could stab them all in the eye sockets, acting like they've never seen a hot girl before. Running his hand through his hair, he made it back to where Sho and Judai were sitting and sat next to Judai, waving at both him and Sho.

Judai was already asleep by the time Manjoume had returned because there's never a day that goes by that he ISN'T sleeping in class.

All Manjoume could do was just shake his head from side to side while wondering why this dropout boy wasn't kicked out of the school yet. 'He barely does any schoolwork and he duels almost like a pro. I'm not giving him too much credit to fuel his ego. Still, he's managed to keep my secret for this long without telling anybody who I really am. I figured he would've blabbed by now.'

Sho was fully awake, for once and returned Manjoume's wave with one of his own. "So, your name is Mizuki, right?" he asked, just to make sure he got it right and didn't hear it wrong.

"Hai, that's right, short stack," Manjoume said, chuckling.

"Eheh, right, short stack." Sho fixed his glasses up on his face, as he should've expected such a comment from 'Mizuki'. "So, uh, you don't mind if I ask you a question, do you?"

"You just did," Manjoume joked. "But shoot. What do you want to know?" he asked, placing his hands behind his head and crossing one leg over the other.

"Why did you lie and say that your boyfriend was in Obelisk Blue? I mean, it's not as if it would've been a big deal if you would've said Aniki was your boyfriend from the beginning. Would've been jealous but not at all be all that big of a deal," Sho said.

"I did that to throw you off. I don't want everyone knowing my business. Around this place, girls don't find it cool if you date a dropout boy from the red dorm. I should know because judging by how a lot of those girls keeps staring at me in envy, I can pretty much guess that a lot of them were thinking the same thing when it came to Judai-kun. Despite being your typical loser, he can be such a sweet guy," Manjoume said, poking Judai's cheek to try and wake him up. "Bah, it's no use. He sleeps like a rock."

"Want I should wake him up?" asked Sho.

"Iie, let him sleep. He'll have to wake up sooner or later. He has to eat you know."

"Yeah." Sho didn't know what to make of this but 'Mizuki' seemed serious about Judai even though she seemed to still think of him as a loser of sorts. 'This is all too weird. It's not like Aniki to not tell me that he has a girlfriend or not tell anyone for that matter. And I've never seen this girl before until yesterday, so she really must be some transfer student we didn't hear about yet. Though, there is something off about her. She kind of looks a little like Manjoume. Iie, a lot like Manjoume, but he didn't have any sisters that he's mentioned. Just two brothers.'

Later that day in the courtyard, everyone was using their free period to hang out and converse with friends, catching up with one another to see what they missed. The main topic of discussion amongst the guys was the new girl 'Mizuki Jikan' who they are thought was super-hot and super cute. Sho and Hayato were in the courtyard sorting out their dueling decks.

"Hrm, I think I should take this card out, what do you think, Hayato?" Sho asked.

Hayato just shrugged. "I don't know. I've been here longer than you guys, so you should know not to ask me what's a good card to keep in and a bad one to take out," he replied, and then looked over in Judai's general direction. "So, word around campus is that you have a girlfriend now, Judai. That true?"

Judai had his cards spread out all over the ground in front of him, his mind still too distracted to focus on fixing up his deck, just in case he managed to get someone to agree to duel him. If anything, he was feeling a bit irritable due to lack of sleep and Manjoume's constant torture. "Iie, I don't have a girlfriend!" he snapped.

"Geez, you don't have to yell, I only asked a question," Hayato said.

"Don't mind, Aniki, Hayato, he's just grouchy because he didn't get enough sleep last night. In fact, he stayed up most of the night, which is unlike him and a rare occurrence too. He also slept through the entire class assignment as well but thankfully, Aniki's girlfriend Mizuki copied down everything for him." Sho couldn't help but laugh a bit. "I don't know, she may be a little rude occasionally, but it was nice of her to do that for you, Aniki. Plus, she also admitted that the two of you were dating and she was just hiding it."

Judai just sighed. As much as he wanted to, he knew he couldn't tell anyone that Mizuki was really Manjoume. On top of that, Manjoume would either kill him or just hate him more than he already does. … Nah, probably want to stick to the notion of him being killed should he expose his secret.

"Hey, Judai-kun! I've been looking everywhere for you," said a cheerful and familiar voice that belonged to none other than Manjoume who hugged Judai from behind and planted a kiss on his cheek. "You better not be trying to hide from me," he said and moved in closer to his ear and whispered, "because as of right now, I own your ass. So, if you say anything, you'll regret it because I'll make your life a living hell, dropout boy," he threatened but put on a cheerful smile as he looked at Sho and Hayato. "Hi, boys."

And Judai knew that was coming and gulped when Manjoume threatened him. 'There's seriously no way out of this mess,' he thought, heaving a defeated sigh.

"Hey, Mizuki-san. Nice to see you again," replied Sho, waving at her. "This is our other friend, Hayato."

"Hello, there." Hayato waved at Mizuki.

"Ohaiyo, Hayato-san! It's a pleasure to meet you. Atashi wa, Jikan Mizuki!" Manjoume introduced himself formally to Hayato with the female name he'd made up for himself.

"Aww, that's not fair. How come you call him Hayato-san and I get called short stack?" Sho whined and pouted.

"Probably because I'm more special than you," Hayato joked.

"Oh yeah, how so? You don't have a cute girlfriend you haven't told us about too, do you?" Sho asked inquisitively.

"Of course not. If I did, probably wouldn't say anything anyway because you get way too jealous, Sho."

"Uncool, Hayato, so uncool." Sho shook his head and crossed his arms.

"So, here's a question for you, Mizuki-san, you call Judai by any pet names?" asked Hayato.

"Pet names? Hmm. I hadn't even thought about that. I just simply call him Judai-kun. But if I had to give him one, I think … honeybunch would be a good fit because I love him just that much." Manjoume kissed Judai on the cheek again.

Judai blushed and just remained silent while Sho and Hayato conversed with 'Mizuki'. He seriously couldn't understand why the two of them couldn't tell that this girl was Manjoume. His hair might be longer, his frame might be smaller but overall, he was pretty much the same person, just more feminine.

"Huh. Honeybunch. Sounds interesting," Sho said, not being able to hide his sniggering. "So, Mizuki-san, I've been meaning to ask if you were in any way related to Manjoume Jun because for some reason, you look a little bit like him. Come to think of it, he wasn't even in class today. Wonder where he is."

"Must be time to call the newspaper because that definitely doesn't sound like Manjoume," replied Hayato.

'If they only knew what I knew but it seems not even they can tell the difference but only in similar appearances and if I say anything Manjoume's going to make my life a living hell. Yeah, it's only best if I keep my mouth shut,' Judai thought as he begun scooping up his cards and straightening them up in his hand.

Manjoume simply shrugged. He knew it wouldn't take anybody long to put two and two together in noticing the similarities between his real self and his female form but it's not as if he was planning on telling anybody anytime soon about his secret. It stays with Judai, for now at least. In the meantime, he shrugged his shoulders to throw the blue-haired boy off guard. "Iie, I don't know who you're talking about. I'm not related to anyone by the name of Manjoume Jun. In fact, I'm an only child," he lied.

"Oh really? Darn, was hoping you might've at least had a cute sister. Then Aniki and I would have something in common. What do you think, Hayato?" Sho asked.

"If you want me to be honest then I'd say you'd totally have no chance even if Mizuki-san wasn't an only child. But since you brought up the question of asking her relations, she does sort of look like Manjoume. A little weird but it's not common for a lot of students to look like others. Heck, there are probably girls who look like Asuka-san," said Hayato.

"I don't think anyone could pull off looking as hot as Asuka-san. But I'd say that Mizuki-san's in the running for being the second hottest girl on campus," Sho said, laughing.

Manjoume simply raised his brow and shifted his gaze in Judai's direction. He wanted so much to say that his friends were complete idiots, well, Sho was but he had to keep his comments to himself and inside his head if he didn't want to reveal who he really was. But seriously, he didn't know how much more of this idiotic conversation he could stand! Though he was going to stick it out for as long as he could to make sure the brunette kept his mouth shut, so he looked back at Hayato and Sho.

Judai saw Manjoume looking at him out of the corner of his eye. He couldn't exactly tell just by looking at him what he was thinking but if he had to guess, he knew he probably wanted to say something very insulting right about now. Instead, he just looked back at Sho and Hayato.

"Why are you both looking at us like that?" Sho asked, raising his brow at the two of them. "Is there something you two know that we don't? If it is, spill it."

"Well, there is—"

Manjoume cut Judai off in mid-sentence by pulling him back and pushing him down on the ground, kissing him forcefully. Hayato and Sho just blinked in confusion at that. At that moment is when Asuka and her two friends Tracey and Dallas stumbled upon the group.

"Aww, I'm almost tempted to say this is cute but since I'm not getting any, I don't care," Tracey replied with a shrug.

The two boys looked away from Manjoume and Judai to Asuka and her friends. Manjoume had stopped kissing Judai to acknowledge their presence. "Oh, pardon me. Didn't see you there. Hi! I'm Mizuki Jikan."

Dallas bowed respectfully and then stood up straight. "It's quite the pleasure to meet you, Mizuki-chan. I'm Dallas Knight," she said with a giggle, the petted the black and white spotted cat that was chilling on top of her head.

"Likewise, though, what's up with the cat on your head?" Manjoume asked, pointing at the cat.

"Oh, Hitler? He's one of the many babies that I collect. I have a lot of kitties that need good homes. If you're interested, let me know and I'll be happy to show them to you," Dallas offered kindly. "Though I have to say, I am very impressed."

"Impressed by what, exactly, Dallas?" Asuka asked.

Dallas giggled. "That Judai-san has a girlfriend because I could've sworn that you liked him, Asuka-san," she said.

Asuka blushed furiously. "N-Nani?! What on earth makes you think such a thing?!"

"Well, I mean, you hang around him all the time, including his two friends. It's not hard for one to just assume these things. Personally, I got a man and his name is Johan Anderson and someday we're going to get married," Tracey said, swooning.

Asuka sighed, placing her hand on her forehead. "Yeah, if you don't end up killing him first. You get way to overly jealous if he even talks to another girl and then you pound the heck out of him for it. Surprised the poor guy isn't dead yet. No one's body is made of steel." She shook her head from side to side. "I honestly can't believe you two. You're both so boy crazy."

Dallas wagged her finger. "Not really. Respectfully interested in guys is all. Besides, if Sho-kun was interested, I'd totally date him," she giggled with a tilt of her head as she looked at Sho and smiled.

Sho blushed as Dallas said that. "E-Eh? I didn't think anyone around here was even interested in me. Including you."

"Oh, what's not to like? You're cute, sweet and funny. Not all girls from Obelisk Blue are superficial," said Dallas.

Sho laughed nervously and sweatdropped. 'Great, the crazy cat girl would be the one that's interested in wanting to date me. Is that the best you can do for me, god?' he thought with a sigh.

Asuka took the time to notice a lot of Judai's cards from his deck were scattered all on the ground where he was laying, so she'd bent down and picked one of them up and simply looked at it. "Judai-san, why are all of your cards everywhere?" she asked him, looking from the card and at him.

Judai had finally managed to sit up after being pushed down on the ground by Manjoume and rubbed the back of his head lightly. Throughout the rest of the conversation, he remained silent, not much for him to add to it that didn't end up with him revealing that Mizuki is Manjoume and him being killed for doing so. "I was trying to sort them out, but my mind has been elsewhere," he admitted.

As for Manjoume, this was truly sucking for him because he couldn't talk to Asuka like he wanted to. Granted, she was the hottest girl in the school, well to him anyway, but there was no way she'd give him the time of day. She was too focused on her own dreams and unfortunately, those dreams didn't include him. "I'm the one that's mainly been on his mind all day so it's not all that odd he'd be so distracted that he couldn't focus his mind on anything else but me," he said, while hugging Judai.

"Yeah, I don't know whether to think this is sweet or strange as well," Tracey said, placing her hands on her hips.

"You're one to talk. You think that abusing Johan-san is love and Dallas seems to think that I was the one that liked Judai-san," replied Asuka as she stood up.

"Well, if Judai-san didn't have one, you two would make a lovely couple. It would be the talk of the entire school, but it seems that he and Mizuki-chan are the talk of the school," said Dallas.

'I don't doubt it for a second that Asuka was into Judai. I'm just not sure what it is about him that she sees in him that she doesn't see in him. Come to think of it, I should give him some credit for keeping his mouth shut. Though I can't help but wonder why he hasn't said anything yet. Could he be waiting for me to tell him the truth?' Manjoume wondered as he finally stopped hugging Judai, releasing him from the hug.

Hayato and Sho kind of took themselves out of the conversation and talked amongst one another but quietly. "Is it just me or are we anonymous in this whole boyfriend/girlfriend thing?" asked Sho.

"I'd rather be that than to talk about it. Besides, you have at least one girl interested in you who admitted it too and that's something that doesn't happen every day," Hayato said.

Sho just sighed and sweat dropped at that and just said what he was thinking earlier. "It would be the crazy cat girl that would be interested in dating me. Seriously, can god not do better?"

"She's not so bad. She's sweet. And so, she likes cats, that's not a terrible thing is it?" asked Hayato.

"Iie, I suppose not but there is such a thing as having too many of them and on top of that the strange names she gives them."

Judai had gathered up all his cards off the ground, not bothering to arrange them and when none of them were looking, too busy talking to each other, he got up and ran as fast as he could back to his dorm room.

Sho was the only one that seemed to notice that Judai was gone. "Hrm? Where'd Aniki go?" he asked.

"Don't know. He was just sitting right there by Mizuki-san a second ago," Hayato replied.

"Well, now he's not. Mizuki-san, did you see him leave?" asked Sho.

Manjoume shook his head from side to side. "Iie, I didn't but I believe I know where he went." He got up and dusted his skirt off. "I'll see you all later. It was really nice meeting you all," he said waving goodbye to them and took off running. 'I don't think so, dropout boy. You're not getting away from the THAT easily.'

Judai had made it back to his dorm and locked the door, turning off all the lights and sat on his bed, rocking back and forth in fetal position. 'I seriously have no clue as to what's going on with Manjoume today but this … all of this … what he's doing is beyond torture. Its cruel and unusual punishment is what it is. And not in the best way either!' He continued to quietly sit on his bed while all was silent, believing that he was safe.

That is until there was banging heard on the other side of the door and it was neither Sho or Hayato sine the two of them can't run that fast to keep up with Judai. No, it was nobody but Manjoume. "Dropout boy! You open this door right now! I know you're in there!" he shouted through the door.

'If I don't say anything, maybe he'll go away,' Judai thought.

"If you don't open this door right now, I'm going to go and get Chronos Sensei!" Manjoume threatened.

'So much for that, he's seriously going to keep banging on the door until I open it. Gah! I don't want to be tortured anymore … or confused the hell out of!'

"Fine. If you come out, I promise I won't torture or sexually harass you anymore," Manjoume lied, placing his hands on his hips.

"Yeah right!" yelled Judai but he'd gasped and put his hands over his mouth, realizing that he'd just exposed the fact that he was actually in the room.

"Ah-ha! So, you are in there! I knew it!" said Manjoume triumphantly.

"If you don't have anything sane to say then go away. I'm tired of your so-called torture! Haven't you had enough fun for one day?!" Judai said.

"Tch. You seriously can't blame me for wanting to get back at you for what you did to me yesterday. You discovered my secret. Other than the teachers, you're the only other person who now knows." Manjoume sighed. "Since you held it in for this long I should give you the benefit of the doubt and explain everything. It is only fair after all. So just, please … open the door, Judai."

Nothing was heard or said for a moment but just then, the lock mechanisms on the door clicked and Judai opened the door partially and poked his head outside. "Well, that is far but if you swear you're going to tell me what's going on with you, then you can't do any of that strange stuff you've been doing or saying to me today. Deal?"

Manjoume just shrugged his shoulders. "Fine, whatever but if I tell you everything, you have to promise to keep it to yourself. I meant what I said. I will make your life a living hell if you so much as blab to anyone about anything I tell you."

"Manjoume, you know I'd never tell anything that they don't need to know. You can trust me. You have to at least trust somebody." Judai stood to the side and opened the door wider for Manjoume to come in.

"Yeah, right, that's an understatement. Trust somebody." Manjoume scoffed as he walked into the room and made himself comfortable on Judai's bed. Of course, he realized then that he was going to have to tell him the truth, which meant reliving all of the painful memories that led up to it. Would … someone like Judai even understand how painful talking about such things are?

Judai closed the door and then walked over and sat down on his bed as well, next to Manjoume. The idea of the two of them being alone like this was starting to make him feel uncomfortable but he was willing to listen to everything Manjoume had to tell him since he was willing to tell him. "So, start explaining," he said, crossing his arms as he shifted his eyes in the opposite direction.

Manjoume just stared at him. 'There's so much that I would be telling him about my life and this curse and yet he's so calm and for the first time, I'm actually terrified. He did promise to keep my secret, but can I seriously trust him with everything? He may not understand, and he may even judge me for everything that I went through for the past three years.'

Judai became concerned when Manjoume didn't say anything and his gaze shifted back in his general direction and he'd noticed the expression on his face. "Is something wrong, Manjoume?" he asked.

"Huh?" Manjoume was snapped out of his thoughts by the sound of Judai's voice.

"I asked if something was wrong since you haven't said anything yet. You're just … quiet," said Judai.

Manjoume just stayed silent and begun thinking to himself again. 'I have no choice but to tell him. After what I've put him through today, he deserves that much from me.'
