Master Delinquent

The figure was never seen. It would be impossible, to say at the least. It slipped through the walls, the ceilings and anything it ever touched. The invisible figure stopped by a house before disappearing again. The last time it was seen was inside the specific house, talking to a specific girl and talking about a specific topic.

Specifically, this house was a secret, the girl was a secret and the topic was a secret.

Secretly, I don't really care.

The last time the figure was sent out to deliver a message was 2 years ago. Making this the second time the figure has been ever used, one more strike and the figure will never be used by anybody again. Unless, this figure will find another owner, but I would doubt that entirely.

This message was entirely important... a message of the enemies, you would say.

It was a message involving people. Girls, more likely. School girls. Now, you see what I'm going here, don't you? What do you mean you don't?! You know, it's hard to write decently if you're going to stand there and complain. Don't try to explain yourself, it sounds like you're talking back to me.

Now, where to?

Right, going to the topic.

It's not that the girl was a lesbian and the figure was a pervert (the figure doesn't even have a proper gender!). They both shared something secret-y, a tasty treat for everyone to know what it is.

It's easy to guess it. So, I'm not going to tell the little secret now. Nope, nu-uh.

But this is dedicated to the seven girls who risked their lives just to know why that piece of paper was written. Or who had wrote it. Or why it was given to them. Was it a prank? Was it the truth?

They were still going to ask people.

And what better way than to ask people is to ask specific people. Who was the most troublesome person in Raimon High? Who was the most untrusted person studying in the halls of the school? Who was the top infamy that gave himself the right title?

Yes, who was it?

Specifically, it was Tsurugi Kyousuke.

Secretly, he didn't know the answer.

Again, they didn't know much about him except that he was famous in getting trouble. And that he has the attitude of the most infuriating person in the planet. But, then again, who knew him?

Miya glanced at her notebook. The one with a secret note written to it. Basically, Miya wanted to know more about the word and who was it from. Of course, there was only one person that came into her mind.

That person would be Tsurugi.

She secretly gave Tsurugi a look before turning her attention to the teacher. A student teacher, more likely. It was weird, though. She looked too young to be even in college and teaching inside an elite school. But, apparently, every teacher gave her their trust.

More reason why Miya didn't trust the female.

The student teacher, whose name was Yui, talked on and on about Astronomy. Miya always loved the subject, naturally. But Yui made it seem like it was a boring subject. Miya sighed softly and scrawled on her notebook the things she understood from the lesson. Waiting for the bell to ring, Miy stopped writing and glanced at the clock behind her.

One minute left.

Satisfied, Miya gave the lesson one more chance as she wanted to doze off.

"Okay, class. That's all for today!" Yui's voice competed with the school bell.

Miya smiled slightly and then stood up along with the rest of the class. "Thank you, teacher~"

Yui fixed her things and then eyed Miya. Miya frowned and asked Yui, "Is there something wrong, teacher...?"

"Ah!" Yui shook her head, "Not really. I just noticed you were daydreaming in class."

"Sorry about that." Miya gritted through her teeth, quite irritated that she was caught.

"It's okay," Yui quickly replied, "Just don't do it again. Did you, perhaps, lost something?"

Miya shook her head. "It's nothing, teacher."

"But you look like you're searching for something."

"Well..."

"Let me give you a hint: if you want to find something, think where it would want to be."

Miya didn't understand, but she just nodded, "Thank you, teacher!"

"Now, off you go."

Miya nodded once again, and walked out for their lunch break. Yui smiled at her retreating figure before pulling out her phone, which was vibrating a second earlier. Yui answered her phone with a simple, "Hello~?"

"Yui," a voice replied curtly.

"Ah, mistress!" Yui's lips twitched upward, "You were saying?"

"...good job, then."

"Knew it."

"I could fire you."

"You would never do it."

"Hn. Just keep on doing whatever you're doing. Don't lose your eyes."

"Great motivation."

"Just stay alive."

-zzt!

"Ungrateful bitch." Yui muttered, and then glanced at the door. "Well, at least I'm still here..."

She quickly fixed her things and slipped out a little letter from her wrist. She sneakily dropped it inside a student's bag and then marched off someplace else. Yui mumbled another sentence as she stepped out of the room...

"...plus, I'm still alive."

Miya opened the piece of paper that was in the bag. Wondering where that little paper came from, Miya searched if there were any signatures to confirm that it was from her/him on it... unfortunately, there were none.

But there was one sentence scrawled at the center.

Once a delinquent, always a delinquent.

Miya widened her eyes. So... she must be looking at the right path! She just had to ask Tsurugi about that little piece of paper and give him a noggin' on his head. It was pretty simple, but, Miya wondered, why would he bother to do that?

"I knew it! I just have to find him!" Miya heard a loud voice.

Miya blinked and sneakily tried to find the voice. It was the second-year: Iwasawa Kairi. Kairi had received the same-looking paper Miya just found. If only she knew what was written in there...

"Tsurugi's the suspect, huh?" Kairi grinned playfully, "I knew it! I'll teach that little shit a lesson!"

Miya sweat-dropped. What's her problem?

"Mark my words!" and then she laughed somewhat maniacally.

But, even through all that, Miya decided she'll follow her to Tsurugi. Maybe she can answer the question Kairi was also answering herself. Quite unnaturally, five more people got the same piece of paper... and the five of them were determined to find Tsurugi. And to answer the question they all were curious of.

I feel bad for Tsurugi, but, then again, it's normal.

"What are you asking me for?!" Tsurugi grumbled.

Kairi kept following him back to his house. She complained to him that it was his fault for bringing her to his life. Tsurugi didn't know what she meant, but he shrugged it off. Because of that, he was regretting it.

"I know you did it! Now, why would you write it?!" Kairi insisted.

"I don't know what you're talking about! Damn woman," Tsurugi breathed.

"TSURUGI!"

"Arf!"

Kairi frowned and then glanced around her. "What was that? I see no dog."

Tsurugi cussed. "I knew I should never went here."

"What? Why?"

"It's because of this house."

Kairi raised her eyebrow. "House? Where? You fuckin' with me, Tsurugi?"

Tsurugi pointed in front of him. "It's dark. Naturally, you can't see it, but if you look long enough..."

Kairi squinted her eyes in the direction, "What in the heavens...?"

SMASH!

"What are you doing here?!"

Kairi and Tsurugi turned their heads (because they knew they weren't the one who spoke those words)... and faced six students sprawled against the road. They were girls, and it did nothing to boost Tsurugi's morale. Instead, he got angrier on why people were following him. Why would they do that? What is their problem?

And then he caught each of their faces.

Each face put on a brave look, but Tsurugi knew they feared the house as much as he did. He remembered he had tried trick-or-treating on this block. The owner of the house never showed his face, yet Tsurugi could never forget the chilly voice... it made the night scarier, gloomier and terrifying.

"..." Tsurugi looked up to the house. That damned house he was scared to go in for so long... could he face his fears now?

"Are you brave enough to go inside?" a soft voice hummed.

Tsurugi swallowed his nervousness and stepped backward. What was wrong with this house?

"You guys shouldn't do that.." a voice startled Tsurugi.

All of them looked up to see:

"Hakuryuu?"

AND SO... the team would be out to face the dangers of the house? Can you guess what the house is called? (Hint: it's already the title of this story, but I know you guys know that.)

Review? :)
