Chapter Three
Nessie smirked and left the room. Hana was confused. Suddenly, Izumi seemed to catch what Nessie said. He looked at Chiba and asked, "What did she mean by we are all yankees, Chiba?"
Rika, Hana and Daichi looked at Chiba. He sighed and said, "I guess I should tell you. I was a Yankee in middle school."
They all gasped in surprise. Rika said, "No way."
Chiba nodded. "It's true."
Izumi looked at the door and wondered, "How did she know that?"
Daichi looked at Izumi and asked, "Did you say something, Izumi?"
Izumi looked at Daichi and shook his head. "Nothing. Just thinking out loud."
Daichi nodded. They got their stuff together and left. As they were walking out of the school, Nessie's gang surrounded them. Hana asked, "What do you guys want?"
One of the guys growled at Hana. "The great Hurricane Ada is such a good girl now. You should have stayed a Yankee."
Hana and her gang got into fighting stances. Nessie's gang started to go towards Hana. Before they reached Hana and the others, they were laying on the ground beaten. Hana and her group looked up and saw Nessie. Nessie bowed to them.
"I am sorry for the trouble they were about to cause. You can leave their punishment to me."
Hana nodded. "Why did they want to fight us?"
Nessie sighed. "They want to prove their strength. You five are the second most powerful fighters in the school."
Izumi looked at Nessie closely. "How did you know Chiba use to be a Yankee?"
Nessie smirked. "We went to the same school back then too. We have fought alongside each other many times. Back then, he wasn't know as Chiba. Right, Tiger?"
Chiba gasped in sudden recognition.
