Trouble is brewing up on the school grounds of Hachimitsu Academy. And the Underground student council is the center of attention. With Matsuri caught in the crossfire of Meiko rampage, what will happen from here on out….


-Hachimitsu Academy- [Classroom]


June 8th Wednesday

12:30pm

"I wonder where we should go?" Chiyo's innocent mind wandered.

She was sitting on her desk with her eyes looking out the window, looking up at the sky. Clouds rolled past slowly with a jet flying through the sky. Tapping her pencil against her lips, humming to herself as she still pondered about.

"Perhaps we should go to a mall? But what am I even going to do…maybe buy some clothes." She thought to herself. "...maybe Kiyoshi would find it boring if we go cloth shopping. Maybe we can go to an arcade…boys like video games, right?"

The more that Chiyo thought about it, the more she almost forgot herself.

"W-Wait. What am I thinking? It's not like a date or anything. I-It's just a…..um…just friends hanging out! Yeah, that's right! Just friends with a normal relationship!"

"Chiyo! Chi-yo!"

"Huh!?"

Chiyo snapped out of her thoughts. Sitting in front of her was her friend, Mayumi, with Etsuko and Tsubaki sitting on both of her sides. All three of them looked at her with mixed expressions.

"Um….y-yes?"

"We almost lost you for a moment." Mayumi said with a worried expression. "What were you thinking of?"

"O-Oh! Um…..n-nothing."

"I bet you were thinking of Kiyoshi~." Etsuko said with a knowing smirk.

"N-No I wasn't!" She denied with a fierce blush, frantically waving her hands in front.

"You're so easy to read, you know that right?" Mayumi said with a smirk. "But are you really sure you want to give that boy another chance? I mean, no offense, but he did….well, peeped on you naked."

"She's right," Tsubaki said with food in her mouth. She swallowed it before she spoke. "If I were you I would be on my guard around that sleazeball. No telling he might go out of his way and try something funny again."

"I have to agree with Tsubaki on this one," Mayumi nodded her head.

"Come on guys, sure Kiyoshi can be a little…..shifty. But he's not a bad person."

"He literally lied about not peeping on you while *he* was in the bath house as well. He just tried doing that to butter up his image. Sure, he may not THAT bad, but after that I say it best to be on your guard with him."

Chiyo took those words in and pondered. She does have to agree, Kiyoshi little action back then shows that Kiyoshi will try anything to make himself look good in front of her. He already tried doing that once and he will try it again, guarantee. But she wanted to remain hopeful that Kiyoshi had truly changed.

"I appreciate the offer guys, but I'm sure Kiyoshi has already reflected on his behavior. And if he does try to lie to me again. I'll make sure that he stays honest."

"How are you going to do that?" Tsubaki asked the innocent girl. Wondering how the hell is she going to get Kiyoshi to stay true to his words. If anything, Chiyo is honestly innocent.

Then it hit her, she remembered Chiyo's little stunt against Asuna. "On second thought, never mind."

Chiyo makes a small smile to herself. "That's for me to know and Kiyoshi-kun to find out for himself."

"Aw! You're not going to tell us!" Etsuko pouted at the girl who just continued eating away at her food.

"Oi!"

All three of them turned to a familiar voice. Standing tall with her fist on both sides of her hip. Anzu looked at the three with a rather annoyed look.

"Anzu….." Chiyo asked.

"Have either of you seen Shingo?" She said with a bit of anger.

"N-No." Mayumi answered. Wondering why Anzu is acting up.

"Is he not with you?" Chiyo asked the girl.

"No. But I'd rather it stay like that…." Anzu sighed to herself before taking a seat. "I'm trying to find that bastard and talk to him."

"Why though…..oh that's right. You had a date with him, did you?" Etsuko said with a grin. "Soooo~. How'd it go?"

Anzu clicked her tongue in annoyance. "That bastard. What the hell was he trying to pull off?"

The four exchanged looks towards each other before looking at the girl. "Um…..I'm guessing it didn't go too well."

"I rather not talk about it. But I sure as hell want some answers. Anyways, have you guys seen him?"

"Nope. Actually, I have seen Kiyoshi though. But before I could get a word, he just left. Saying that something came up."

"Actually, I haven't seen Matsuri for almost half the day." Etsuko said with a worried expression. "I wonder if he's sick."

"I'm sure he's fine. Him and the boys must be doing something stupid." Tsubaki said.

"I highly doubt it."

Tsubaki nearly jumped out of her seat when Asuna suddenly shoved herself next to the delinquent. "W-What the hell!? Where'd you come from!?"

"I'd tell you. But we will be here all day~." Asuna teased.

Tsubaki cheeks flushed red, as she growled at the girl. "T-That's not what I meant!"

"Hold on," Chiyo looked at the girl. "What do you mean, you highly doubt it? You know what happened?"

"Apparently there's rumors going around that Vice Prez attacked both Matsuri and Andre boy."

They all stopped. An expression wiped through their faces. Carrying the same baffled and worried concerns. All of them looked at the girl who looked at them back with a surprise look plastered on her face.

"You…..you guys didn't know…."


-Chairman Office-


Mari bit her lips as she stood in front of the desk where Usano was sitting. On both her sides were Meiko and Hana. The Vice president was drenched in sweat. Her clothes were becoming soaked, trailing amongst her bare skin. Dripping between cleavage and trailing on her bare thighs. The puddle underneath her feet was forming.

The secretary wore a bitter expression. Her hand was balled into a fist, not daring to look up at the chairman who sat there with a pondering thought. But he was also nervous.

And off to the side, was Kate with a smile graced on her lips.

Usano was looking at the phone with a look before he looked up at Mari. "I didn't want to believe it at first, but seeing this video evidence…it appears that I was wrong."

"I-If I may interject," Mari said with a raised hand. "While I won't lie, Meiko did attack Andre, but there is a reason for that. Andre provoked Meiko by singing a song from her childhood that tortured her for years."

"Even so, but she still attacked a student. This is something that should not be accustomed to the underground student council."

Mari bit her lips. She did not predict that she was going to be in this predicament. Granted, she knew that Kate is behind this, but she did not take into account that she would make her move with Andre dragged into the mess.

"I must say Mari," Kate said, her smile on her lips. Giving Mari a knowing look. "Is this how the underground student council operates? Do they relentlessly go out of their way and put everyone in line by beating them like a madwoman."

Mari narrowed her eyes on the girl. Hearing a growl under Meiko's lips.

"I mean, I don't know how in the world Andre got that song. And true, he did provoke her. But the fact that Meiko attacked him is something that cannot simply be looked over." She said as she set her hands on her hips. "I mean, his face looks almost unrecognizable. Just be glad that he didn't suffer a concussion….although…..I can't say the same for Matsuri."

Meiko fist tightened, small blood leaked out of her hand. Her teeth grinded. Her breathing started to become heavy. She only relaxed when Mari rested her hands on the vice president.

"Matsuri just took the hit so that Andre wasn't injured anymore. Granted, it was reckless of him, but he only did it to save Andre."

"So you agree," Kate's smile widened. "Meiko is nothing more than a loose canon."

Mari knew that Kate was merely just trying to get a rise out of Meiko. She could feel her trembling. She turned towards her father. "Chairman please, Meiko didn't mean it."

"..." Usano just pondered for a moment before answering. He released a grunt. "From what I saw from the video and what I heard from you two. I believe there are always two sides of the story that lead to the truth. However, I still cannot approve of her action towards Andre and Matsuri. It is inappropriate for the underground student council to cause such….trouble."

Mari lips formed into a frown.

"Which is why I will take into consideration Kate's…appeal."

"A-Appeal…" Mari blinked with her mouth slowly opened.

"Indeed. Kate came to me with worries of the underground student council action during this morning. So she came up with a petition. An appeal to remove the power of the underground student council and transfer it to the aboveground student council."

An expression wiped through all three of their faces. An appeal!? An appeal to remove the underground student council from power and transfer it to Kate's and the student council!?

"W-What do you mean?" Mari was left stunned.

"Didn't you hear," Kate said, enjoying the stunned expression from Mari. "After from what I've seen, I don't think I feel safe under your guys' control. So I figured what if I submitted an appeal. To strip the power of the underground student council and transfer it to someone who is more responsible."

"You….." She narrowed her eyes at the girl before looking at her father. "Is this true….father?"

Usano released a sigh. "It is."

"But why!?" Hana yelled.

"It has already been said. However, I did say I will take into consideration her appeal. In moments like these, it is acceptable for her to submit an appeal to strip the power of the underground student council and transfer it to the student council. However, the same rule that applies for prison break out, I will apply here as well." He looked at his daughter who remained frozen in place. "If the underground council were to cause any more trouble two more times. Or if any inappropriate behavior from them. Then I will be forced to take action. Do I make myself…..clear!"

Mari lips quivered. She was trying her best not to lose it. But it is clear to her of Kate's goal. She took a breather before looking at her father. "Yes, Chairman."

"B-But M-Mari!?"

"It's fine, Hana," She looked over her shoulder at Hana. Giving her a stern stare before looking at Usano. "We will be more careful."

"Very well then. Then this meeting is….close."

She bowed, her hand still holding onto Meiko's hand as she led her towards the door. Of course, her eyes met with Kate's who smiled with a mischievous smile towards the crow mistress. Not wanting to spend her time here any longer, she left with Meiko in her hand, being followed by Hana who returned a glare towards Kate as well.

Everything was going according to plan. Now if she played her cards right, then she would have successfully overthrown the underground council. A small hidden grin formed upon her lips.


-Infirmary-


"How did this happen!?"

Takamoto released a tired sigh. She sat on her chair with her chin resting on the palm of her hand. This morning has already been rather tiring for the young woman. Her eyes looked to the side, Matsuri was resting on the bed, his chest raised up and falling with the rhythm of his breathing. Showing signs that he was conscious. But his nose was bruised and it bent to the left. A bruise mark on his face.

After hearing the news. Chiyo, Etsuko, Mayumi, Anzu, Tsubaki and Asuna came right away to see his condition.

"According to what I've heard from the boys and the USC. Meiko lost her cool and attacked Andre. Just as they were able to grab a hold on her. She just ran up towards him, but Matsuri took the hit."

A small gasp escaped her lips. Did that actually happen? She looked towards Matsuri, with Etsuko and the other girls looking at the unconscious boy. She didn't want to believe it, but from what she heard, it must have been true. Matsuri being there is enough proof.

"H-How's his condition?" Etsuko asked from the bed. "Will he wake up?"

Takamoto offered a sympathetic smile. "His condition is nothing too serious. His heart rate is good and he's breathing. But from a punch like that it's hard to tell when he'll wake up."

Etsuko could only give out a small whimper. She hoped that he would wake up soon. She didn't want anything happening to her friend. The same boy who has shown her kindness from his heart and even stayed as a true friend towards the girl.

Tsubaki sets her hand on the first year's shoulders. "He'll be fine. He's a tough boy. I'm sure he'll wake up."

"Tsubaki's right." Asuna said with a smile. "I'm sure he'll wake up soon."

Within Etsuko's heart, she could only hope that he would wake up and be better by tomorrow.

"Um….." Chiyo gathered the attention. "H-How's Meiko-chan. How is she handling this?"

Takamoto could only look onward with a frown. "She's…taking this actually hard."

Chiyo had a sinking feeling that the vice president would take it hard. Especially if from what she has seen or heard from Etsuko, Matsuri and Meiko were potentially in love with each other. Well…..not in love, but had growing feelings towards each other. No doubt that Meiko would feel devastated from what had happened.

"I bet she blamed herself for what had happened."

"B-But it wasn't her fault! She couldn't control herself, especially after hearing that song!" Chiyo said with a stern tone in her voice.

"Even so…if by any chance this goes out…then this could affect the underground student council standing."

"I think it already has." Asuna said. "Words started to spread about the fight. All of the students are hearing about what has happened."

"That was actually faster than I anticipated. Then there's also a good chance that the Chairman already knows this…."

Chiyo gripped her hands into a fist. She felt like something was off with this situation. It feels like that someone has setted them up and wanted to pin the blame on the underground student council. But who would do such a thing? She didn't know, but she just knew someone was after Mari.

"Look, I'm not sure what is going on, but I'll look over Matsuri, he'll be fine under my watch. In the meantime, I want you guys to keep your chin up."

"R-Right….."

Chiyo got up from her chair and walked over towards the sleeping boy. Matsuri just layed there, his face was bruised, dried blood trailed from his nostril. He looked like an absolute mess. Chiyo leaned near his side with a sympathetic frown.

"Matsuri…I hope you wake up soon…"


-Underground Student Council Office-


"So now what?" Hana asked with an annoyed look. "We're literally sitting ducks here. After everything that happened, I feel like Kate pushed us into a corner."

Mari remained quiet. She was quietly looking into her tea. Looking at her own reflection, as if she was searching for an answer. She knew Kate was behind this and she fully well knew that she was targeting them. But she didn't take into account that she would use Andre. Granted, she knew that Andre was not really himself lately. According to Matsuri, he was provoking Meiko in order to get some punishment from her. And Kate used that weakness to her advantage.

Her eyes looked towards Meiko was trembling on her seat. Small bead of sweat dripped against her skin. The cup in her hand trembled, causing some of the liquid to spill from the cup. Her breathing became almost rapid. She was possibly remembering what she did to Matsuri. How could she even face him now!? Or will he ever wake up from his sleep!?

"Meiko?"

The vice president released a sharp gasp, accidentally throwing the glass against herself, the hot liquid contacted against her flesh big breast. Causing her to scream in pain.

"Damn it!"

"A-Are you okay!?" Hana asked with concern and panic in her tone.

"I-I'm fine…I'm fine…" Meiko repeatedly said before she silently whispered to herself. She lightly rubbed her boobs. Lightly grabbing the good part of the plump boob. She bit her lips.

Mari set her tea aside before getting up and walked over to Meiko. She sat beside the vice president and shared a sympathetic smile towards the girl.

"Meiko," She said, getting her attention. "It's not your fault. What happened to Matsuri was entirely your fault. It was just an accident. You know that Kate setted up Andre to provoke you to get to us."

"..." Meiko didn't say anything. She just sat there, her head hanging in shame and disappointment.

"I am positive that Matsuri will not hate you for what happened. He took that punch in order to stop you from hurting Andre."

"Mari's right," Hana jumped in. "And Matsuri is too nice to hate you for what happened. I'm sure he knew it was an accident."

Meiko still did not respond, her eyes filled with sorrow, regret, shame, fear of rejection. She could already see what will happen when he wakes up. Just the thought of it…..the thought of the boy hating her for her brute strength and rage…

She started to tremble. Tears build in her eyes. Her breathing started to grow rapidly. She hugged herself, her arms squeezed underneath her breast, pushing them upward. Her tears started to fall from her eyes, leaking against her cheeks. Beginning to choke on her sobbing.

She could feel Mari's arms wrapping around her, pulling Meiko into her embrace. Meiko sobbing turned more into a whimper soon after. Quietly crying her eyes out.

No word was spoken between them. Mari just hugged Meiko who just cried. Hana just watched with a sympathetic look. Not knowing what to say in this situation. She just sat there, looking at them.


-Boy's Dormitory-


The boys were in the room, together once more. They all sat in a circle, all of them were mixed expressions. Not sure what to say or do in this type of situation. Kiyoshi couldn't help but to look towards Andre who felt the most guilty of the batch.

His head hung low in defeat, unsure of how to face the boys in front of him.

"Indeed, this is quite the predicament we found ourselves in." Gakuto said as he pushed his glasses up.

"Andre what the hell got into you lately." Shingo asked the boy.

"...I…..I'm not sure."

"The hell you mean you are not sure! Andre, you literally went and pissed off the Vice President! She would only beat the shit out of you if you did something! In fact, you've been acting weird since the very beginning….hold on. Don't tell me, you're still pissed about Matsuri stealing your girl."

"N-No! It's nothing like that! I-I mean sure maybe a little but I learned my lesson from before! I just….I just…..wanted to get my return."

"...the hell?"

"Andre, you're making us worried."

"I…don't understand." Andre said to himself. "I did everything that Kate and Risa told me, but it just backfired."

This caught their attention.

"Hold on," Kiyoshi held his hand up. "What do you mean? Who's Kate and Risa?"

"The student council."

They all stopped. All of the boys looked at each other with baffled expressions before looking back at the boy.

"Y-You mean the underground student council?"

"N-No. The student council. Or….my bad. They call themselves the aboveground student council."

"Aboveground…the hell there's two student councils? Is that even possible?" Shingo asked the boys.

"I highly doubt it. But it does make me question why there are two student councils at this school. I thought for sure that Madam President-dono and the underground council were the only ones who ran the school."

Kiyoshi began to ponder on the thought. Could that all have been a set up? If so, who were they after? It could've been the boys. They barely know who the student council was. Or were they after the underground student council? All of this was just confusing for the boy.

"Either way," Joe said with a cough. "Andre, I feel like you need to let go of her."

This caught the boy's attention. His eyes looked right at the hooded wearing boy. "What!?"

"I'm just saying. This is starting to become an issue with you, man."

Joe suddenly found himself hulled into the air by Andre. The large boy gritted his teeth. "YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH! THE VICE PRESIDENT IS MY ONE AND ONLY QUEEN! YOU WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND THE HOW I LOVE AND RESPECT HER!"

"Andre! Stop!" Kiyoshi grabbed his arm! Stopping him from hurting Joe. "This is what got you in trouble in the first place! And what got the Vice Prez in trouble as well! Please, just calm down!"

A small gasp escaped his lips. He was right, he couldn't afford getting thrown in prison again. And he got the Vice President in trouble as well. And poor Matsuri got wrapped into this mess. He also got hurt in the process.

He slowly let go of Joe. His head hung in shame. "I'm sorry…this is all my fault. And Matsuri got the worst of it. I don't know where I went wrong…..I did everything that I was told, but I didn't predict that she would react like that. Nor did I predict that Matsuri would sacrifice himself for my sake.

"Andre, just relax okay." Joe said as he settled his hand on the large boy.

"Indeed, remember Andre-dono, we are comrades. No more acting out by ourselves."

The large boy nodded with a sad smile. "Y-You're right…..I'll remember that."

Kiyoshi and the boys nodded at each other. Finally glad that they managed to talk to Andre, but they couldn't help but to still be worried about the boy. They feel that someone should stay with him. But they didn't dare, they would just have to keep a watchful eye on him for the moment until they knew what to do.

"So…..now what?" Shingo said.

"For the moment, I suggest that we wait for Matsuri-dono to wake up. Till then, I suggest we wait out and cool our heads."

"H-Hey! Wait a minute! Can we please also work on how I am going to apologize to Anzu!" Shingo asked with a desperate tone.

"Oh that's right. You still haven't apologized to her haven't you." Kiyoshi asked with a pondering expression. "Guess we can give out a few ideas while we're at it."

"You really screwed up your relationship there, Shingo." Joe snickered behind his hand.

"S-Shut up! I didn't know that she was going to freak out! No! Actually it was Kiyoshi's fault! He gave me the idea!"

"Indeed," Gakuto looked towards Kiyoshi with a suspicious look. "You say that you gained such knowledge from a porn video, in what cosmetic proportion did you go to?"

"I-It's none of your business! And after what happened with Shingo! I suggest you guys don't do the same thing!"

"Indeed. I do not wish to doom my relationship with Mitsuko-dono like Shingo-dono did with his maiden."

"Same here." Joe agreed.

"Both you guys suck!"

Kiyoshi could only sigh in relief. He needed to make sure that this secret was hidden from them at all times. He can't let them know that he *almost* kissed Hana. Hell, it would be more trouble if Hana were found…..then shit would hit the fan.


..


Alone on the street, a small silver haired young girl was walking the lonely road with her head hung down, hiding between her shoulders. Holding on tightly to the straps of her backpack. She wore a light brown uniform and skirt, wearing black dressing shoes. On her back was a red backpack.

She walks down the road, not even attempting not to look at anything or be the center of attention. As she continued down the road, a familiar tune whispered into her ear…..

"The 'Me' in Meiko is for meters~," The young Meiko froze in place. Feeling a pair of lips near her ear. "Meiko's boobs are one meter around~."

A young girl with familiar orange hair formed into two drill ponytails in front. She wore the same uniform as Meiko's and two other girls she was walking with. The orange-haired girl walked in front of Meiko, looking at the girl with a teasing smile.

"The 'I' for Meiko is for 'In the Dumps,' Meiko's aura is like dark matter~."

The three girls laughed at the end of the song. "Kate! Your song is hilarious!"

"I know, right!? I thought up the song and found it pretty funny. Because it describes Meiko so well!" Kate said as she looked back at the girl who froze in place.

An idea came to her. She walks closer to Meiko who remained frozen in place. Kate's hand raises up as she moves them closer to Meiko's boobs. Once she was close enough, both her index fingers poked right in the middle of her rather well-endowed breast for her age. Meiko released a small gasp as she fumbled backward. But she suddenly tripped and fell on her butt.

"HAHAHA! Well did I get them? Did I poke at your nipples!"

Poor Meiko covered her boobs, trembling as the girls stood over her. Laughing and starting to poke at her, trying to get to her boobs. Meiko tried to hide her embarrassing boobs from the three girls as they continued to mock her, singing the song that will forever torture in the near future.

"The 'Me' in Meiko is for meters~! Meiko's boobs are a meter around~! The 'I' in Meiko is for 'In the Dumps'! Meiko's aura is like dark matter~!"

"P-Please….please stop! Please!" The young Meiko cried, but only proved to fail as they continued to taunt her.

She pushed through them, trying to run away as fast as she could. But with Kate and her friends chasing after her, continuing to mock her with the same song.


.


Meiko wakes up with a sharp gasp. Shooting up from her bed, breaking out in a cold sweat. Her head snapped in different directions, finding out that she was in her own room. She took a deep breath, clutching her own heart behind her massive bosom.

She thought back to what happened this morning. Andre provoking her with that cursed song that Kate herself made up back during middle school and has forever tortured her. She then snapped and beat the living daylight out of him. But she went too far, she was beating him to death, only to stop when Matsuri threw himself in the middle of the two.

She bit her lip, a frustrated growl escaped. Meiko gripped her arms, her nails digging into her skin. There was no doubt that Kate setted her up for this mess and led her to set up the petition to strip the power away from the USC.

She only loosened her grip when her thought goes back to the boy she grew close to. He got hurt because of her anger and may have possibly ruined any trust he had with them. And her.

"I'm….I'm such a fool." She thought to herself. "I have completely destroyed his trust. He may not even speak to me again…..I…I'm such a fool…..I'm a complete idiot. Nothing but a brute woman who is just nothing but a violent force of nature…"

She hugged herself, letting her body fall back onto the bed, letting herself sink to the mattress. Curling herself. Her lips trembled, a tear threatened to escape her eyes. Her thoughts were entirely on her action that harmed the boy.

"How should I…..how should I even approach him."


-Hachimitsu Academy- [Courtyard]


June 9th Thursday

12:30pm

"RISA!"

Risa looked over her shoulders, seeing Andre stomping towards her.

"Did it work?"

"HELL YEAH IT WORKED! IT WORKED TO THE POINT THAT THE VICE PRESIDENT INJURED MATSURI IN THE PROCESS!"

"Oh yeah?"

"IS THAT ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY!? I DID WHAT YOU AND KATE TOLD ME TO DO AND IN RETURN, VICE PRESIDENT ALMOST BEATED ME TO DEATH AND MATSURI SERIOUSLY GOT INJURED!"

Risa smacked him in the forehead with the palm of her hand. "Calm down will ya. You're the one who asked for help and now you got it. You could at least appreciate that."

"I mean, I am glad I got the retu-NO WAIT! THAT'S NOT THE POINT! MATSURI SERIOUSLY GOT INJURED BY THE ONE HE LOVES! DON'T YOU CARE!"

Risa raised a brow. So it was true, there was something going between the two. While it did confirm that, she didn't think that they cared for each other that much. She pondered for a moment before shaking her head.

"I see…"

"I-Is that seriously all you have to say."

"W-Well what do you want me to say!" Risa said her cheeks flushed red. "If you were so desperate then why did you ask for our help then?"

"I…..I just wanted some…..returns…."

"There you go again with that shit. Listen, I'm sorry for what happened to Matsuri, it must've been tragic."

"It was terrible. And I never want to go through something like that ever again." Andre hung his head in defeat.

He felt part of this was his fault to begin with, he was so caught up trying to get some beatings from the Vice President, but it only ended in a tragic event and one of his friends ended up injured, once again, caused by him.

"I'm a terrible friend."

"Huh?" Risa looked at the boy.

"I injured Matsuri twice. All because of my stupidity. And to make matters worse, the Vice President may have suffered as well, not only because she may have tainted the reputation of the USC, but she has hurted the one she loves."

Risa looked at the boy with a frown. Not saying a word or does not have any interjection of what to say. She just listened with a sympathetic expression.

"Tell me, Risa," He asked. "Am I a terrible friend?"

"...I'm…I don't know how to answer that for you."

"What do you mean!? Aren't you, Kate, and Mitsuko friends!"

Risa bit down on her lips, her hand closed into a tight fist. She shook her head, shoving the thoughts aside. "A-Anyways, let me ask you a question. Do you still see Matsuri as a friend?"

"Of course I do! But all of my actions have caused nothing but pain to him! But I can't help it! I need punishment! No one other than the Vice President can give me that pain that I longed for!"

Risa couldn't help but to make a baffled expression. "I really don't get this guy…"

"You….does it have to be only her?"

"I-I mean…..if I can find anyone who has the same power as her, then I wouldn't mind. But…..I don't know…..it just doesn't feel the same." He said as he hung his head in defeat.

Risa just looked at the boy with a perplexed stare. Unsure of what else to say to him. But deep down, she couldn't help but to feel guilty of what she did. Granted she had another reason why she did it, but she couldn't tell him that. She pondered for a moment before she spoke.

"I'm sorry. This is my fault," She said with a somber tone. "In return…..I'll give you what you desire."

"You mean….what I want?"

"Yes." She with a determined look. "As an apology, I will give you what you want in return. I promise, I will not stop until you are satisfied."


-Infirmary-


"Something feels cool against my cheeks."

Matsuri stirred to something soft and cool caressing his cheeks.

"It…..it feels nice."

Matsuri couldn't quite place it, but he felt…..at ease.

He hears a familiar humming, it has a heavenly tune to it. It made him feel safe, warm and…nostalgic. He groggily opened his eyes, everything was a blur. The first thing he opened his eyes to was a figure. However, the figure was blurred, he couldn't quite place who it was. However, the humming tune from the figure, it felt familiar to him. He focused hard on the figure, it looked like someone he knew. Someone he held dear to. From a long time ago. Someone he lost.

"Yoshimiya….." He thought to himself as he opened his eyes further.

However, the figure became clear, the figure wasn't Yoshimiya, but another person he recognized. She came into clear view, the chestnut brown hair with the pulled back bangs. Her unbutton top revealed part of her cleavage.

"A-Asuna…."

The gyaru stopped humming and looked at the boy with a smile. "Hey, sleepyhead~! You're awake!"

She removed her hand from his cheeks.

"Ugh…..how long was I out?"

"Just a day."

"A day!? Seriously why do I always end up getting knocked for a-" Matsuri exclaimed as he shot up from his bed, but winced in pain as he held his nose. "Ow….."

"H-Hey, take it easy." Asuna said with a worried look.

Matsuri rubbed his nose which was bruised and a little bent. "Can't believe I got punched in the face again…..wait. Who did I get punched by again?"

Asuna scratched her cheeks with her finger, shamefully looking the other way. "Well…you got punched by…..Meiko."

"M-Meiko…"

His eyes looked forward, trying to remember what had happened. Then he remembered Andre provoking Meiko, then she lost it and began to pulverize him. Just before she could give him the death punch, he intervened and received the punch instead.

"R-Right…..now I remember…."

"You okay?"

"I'm fine…..I just need to recollect myself….have you been here long?"

"Not really. I stayed behind while Etsuko, Tsubaki, and Chiyo went to pick up your homework from your class."

"Right…thank you."

Asuna blushed. "T-Thank me? For what?"

"For staying and watching me…you really did change the last time we met."

"Ah! Talk about rude! I may like to have fun, but I can understand my limits too!" She said as she crossed her arms under her breast looking the other way. "Beside…I do owe you for…..well, everything I did."

Matsuri offered a small smile. "But anyways….thank you though."

Her lips pulled up a bit, forming into a small smile with a faint blush on her cheeks.


Their small conversation was interrupted when they spotted Etsuko, Tsubaki, Chiyo and Takamoto come into the room.

"Matsuri!" Etsuko exclaimed as she rushed over and threw herself onto the boy. She wrapped her arms around the boy, squeezing him tighter than he anticipated. "You're awake!"

"Owowowowowowow! Okay, okay! It's great to see you too, Etsuko! Now would you please ease up!"

"Oops! Sorry!" She said as she eased up on the boy.

The other three came up towards the bed with a concerned look.

"You okay?" Chiyo asked as she sat on the edge of the bed.

"I-I'm fine. I'm just feeling a little….pain that's all."

Takamoto took the moment to come near the boy. Her hand brought up to the boy's cheeks, softly turning his head around. Her eyes looked right at his bruised and somewhat bent nose.

"Looks like it still needs some healing. But it doesn't look like it is bleeding anymore. However, I would still recommend going easy from here. Got it?"

"Y-Yes. Thank you, Takamoto-sensei. And….s-sorry for the trouble."

"Relax, I'm sort of used to it at this point. And besides, get me stuff to do. In fact, I wouldn't mind if you get hurt even more." She grinned.

"Um…..I'm pretty sure that teachers are not supposed to encourage students to get hurt." Tsubaki said with a concerned expression.

"Of course I'm just kidding."

The students just looked at her with a baffled expression. Not sure whether to take her words seriously or not. Or it could be that she literally was bored at the school; the only time she get something to do is when either the boys or something happened to them.

Matsuri pondered for a moment, recollecting his memories. "So…Meiko punched me because I got in the way between her line of fire against Andre."

"Y-Yeah," Chiyo looked at the boy with a concerned expression. "You were knocked unconscious."

"...did anything happen while I was out?"

"Oh! That's right!" Etsuko said as she leaned near Matsuri's face. "The USC is facing trouble. Someone turned in an appeal that will strip them of their authority and power!"

"Huh? An appeal...w-wait! What do you mean?"

"Someone recorded a video of what happened back on the track field and is now in danger of losing power and it will be transferred over!"

Matsuri took a moment to think about this new information. But who would go and record a video and go towards the chairman and show it off. His eyes widened in shock….

"Kate, could she be behind this…."

"Matsuri?"

"I'm fine…..what about Meiko, how's she holding up?"

"Um…well, she's not taking up very well." Chiyo said with a concerned look. "She hasn't really been herself lately after the accident."

Matsuri removed the covers from his body and slowly got up from his bed. He winced in pain from the punch.

"M-Matsuri?"

"Hey come on, take it easy will ya." Tsubaki said.

"I'm fine, really. I just need to go talk to Meiko real quick."


-Underground Student Council Office-


"So Mari, what are we going to do about Kate and the others?" Hana asked as she poured tea into their cups.

Mari pondered for a moment before she spoke. "It would seem that Kate has waited for the right moment to strike before we could even make a move. But with the video she has with her, she got the upper hands. Which means we'll need to be on the defense." She said as she took the cup in her hand and sipped the tea.

"It's not like we can take the video, nor can we do much about it either ways. So we're pretty much sitting ducks at this point."

"To add to the situation," Meiko stated, the tone in her voice still somber. "Rumors are spreading of the assault on both Andre and Matsuri. They're starting to see us in a different light." She said as she looked down at her cup, seeing her own reflection. "I'm sorry. This is my fault."

"Please Meiko, it's not your fault." Mari shared a sympathetic look. "Kate just setted you up in her trap. And most of the blame goes towards that trash anyways. He was too wrapped up in his own fantasy to gain what he wanted on his end."

"Ugh, I don't even want to talk about him!" Hana said with a disgusted expression. "Can't believe he would go that far! I say we should put him back in prison for that commotion."

"As much as I want to, we can't. If we just end up putting him in prison, it would only deepen our situation even more. For now, let us remain low and play it safe. Until then, I would need to think of a way to counter Kate's plan. But before that," She looked at the gray-haired vice president whose face was still looking at her cup. "Meiko."

"Y-Yes Ma'am." She jumped a little, a small bead of sweat dripped against her skin.

"I want you to go see Matsuri."

"Y-Yes ma'am. I will go-" She stopped for a moment. Did she hear that right? "-um…..I'm sorry. Did I hear you right?"

"You did. I want you to go straight to Matsuri and talk to him."

"B-But ma'am!" She said as she slams her hands on the table, dropping the cup as it spilled on the floor. She began to be drenched in sweat. "After what I did to Matsuri, I don't know how to even face him! Will he even allow me to speak! Let alone even see me!?"

"Meiko, you're worrying too much. I highly doubt Matsuri would hold a grudge against you." Mari said with a calm tone.

"Matsuri's way too nice. You should know that." Hana said with a grin.

A faint blush flushed on her cheeks, beads of sweat still drenching her uniform, causing her jacket to become wrinkled, her nipples poked through her shirt.

"I…I don't know…"

"Meiko," Mari grabbed her attention. "You can't keep running away from this anymore. It's just gonna keep on bothering you until you talk this through. And besides, this isn't like you to back down."

"Mari's right. You shouldn't let something as simple as this slip from your grasp. I say you need to face this head on."

Meiko breathed through her nose, her eyes looking longingly at her own hands that were still on the table. She could feel her own heart beat against her chest. Curling her hand into a fist as she bit down on her lip.

"She's right. I cannot keep running away from this! I'm not about to let this take over me!" She thought to herself as she slowly calmed down. She breathed through her nose, releasing a breath of air before standing up.

"I need to face this. I must see Matsuri and speak to him. If he's afraid of me…..then I will try to find a way to talk to him! Right…here I go."

She walked towards the door, placing her hand on the knob. She trembled a bit, feeling the stares from Mari and Hana who stared at her with anticipation. She took another breather.

"Right…." A word escaped her lips before she turned the knob and opened the door.

However, just as she was about to leave the room, she felt something run into her massive bosom. Stumbling a bit, but remained her stance. Her eyes looked down towards her breast and noticed a familiar messy brown hair shoved between her breast's. It only confirmed when the head moved a little and looked up at her. Those innocent brown eyes, the broken nose.


"Ma-Ma-Ma….." She panted, frozen in place as sweat drenched her skin once more.

Not noticing that Etsuko, Tsubaki, Asuna and Chiyo were watching the scene with a rather interested look. Alongside Mari and Hana who looked longingly at the scene between the two potential lovers.

Matsuri could hear Meiko's heartbeat against her soft massive cleavage. He could see her starting to sweat, finding a hard time to breathe. Matsuri bit his lip as he partly parted ways from her, but still remained close to her, his eyes not leaving her's.

"Hah…..hah….hah…." She panted.

Matsuri slowly took her hand, feeling a slight twitch from her, but then calmed down when his hand slowly wrapped onto her's. The boy gave the girl a firm stare, his brown eyes looking into her's. Meiko looked back into her's, not sure what to say, but she understood what he wanted.

The two walked away from the room and down the hall. Walking towards their unknown location. Leaving the others as they watched them walked away. Mari and Hana poked their heads out from the room, looking at the couple with curious gaze.

"Um….sooo…..what now?" Asuna asked with a curious tilt.

"Simple." Etsuko simply stated as she started to skip her way towards the same direction as Matsuri and Meiko. "We will spy on them~."

"Now wait just a minute!" Mari stopped the small girl who pouted at the crow mistress. "You most certainly will NOT go and peek at their conversation!"

"Aww! Why not!?"

"Seriously, are you going to ask that question?" Tsubaki asked with a blank look mixed with her sarcastic tone.

"Come on Etsuko, it's not right to peek at people's conversations." Chiyo said.

"I would agree," Asuna said with a nod of her head. Before a quick smirk pulled her lips. "However, I actually want to see myself."

"I'm not surprised that you will go and spy on them." Mari said with a sigh.

Asuna and Etsuko sly their way towards Mari with grins on their lips.

"Aw, come on. Don't tell me you're not at least a bit curious~."

"Yeah, yeah. They're gonna have sweet heart-to-heart moments and when they finally get each other's feelings out…"

Both Etsuko and Asuna grinned at each other before looking at the crow mistress who grew uncomfortable with their stare.

At the same time, they said the same sentence….

"They'll kiss…"

And there it was. All of them had blush on their faces mixed with shocked expressions! All of them with the same thoughts in their head. A mental image of Matsuri and Meiko kissing each other.

Mari violently shook the thought out of her head before recomposing herself. "W-We shouldn't be looking into this! This is for them and them alone. We should not be looking at this."

"Okay then, guess I'll be the one looking into all the fun~." Etsuko said with a cheery grin as she merrily skips along with Asuna behind her.

Mari sighed once more, pinching the bridge of her brow. She hears two more steps walking in the same direction. She peeked with one eye open and happened to see Chiyo and Tsubaki going towards them.

"Chiyo!? You too!?"

Chiyo twitched before looking at her sister with a nervous glance. "Um…..well…I'm just gonna go make sure that Etsuko is not causing trouble, that's all."

"Y-Yeah! Me too!" Tsubaki quickly said as well.

Before Mari could get a word in, both Chiyo and Tsubaki sprinted towards Etsuko and Asuna!

Mari and Hana blinked at the scene. They really just left. The crow mistress released a sigh once more. "Unbelievable."

Hana blinked. She said nothing but stood there, the image of Matsuri and Meiko still kissing in her mind. A faint blush flushed her cheeks, she didn't know why, but she felt an urge within her. She was…..particularly interested in it.

"Hana?"

"Huh!?"

"You haven't said anything. Are you okay….or are you also interested in their conversation."

"Um! N-No! I mean…I t-think we should go and spy on them too."

"Seriously? You too?"

"D-Don't get me wrong! I mean I think we should make sure that Etsuko and Asuna don't do anything unnecessary."

Mari raised a brow at the blonde girl. She wondered what was going on with her. But she was also worried if Etsuko and Asuna were going to do something unnecessary…..but why does she feel some hidden intent within Hana?

She shook her head. "Oh very well then."

Mari and Hana walked off into the direction of the troublemakers.


-Courtyard-


Matsuri and Meiko walked in silence. The boy was still holding Meiko's hand. Ignoring all of the stare from the girls that they were receiving. Many of the girls had curious looks on their faces, couldn't help but to gossip at the latest development that was happening.

Meiko's heart kept on beating against her chest. Her skin still drenched in sweat as she felt the boy grasp on her own. She felt incredibly nervous from the boy's rather odd behavior, usually he would be nervous and shy by touching her, especially in public…..

"I don't understand what caused him to be this bold…..but my heart…I can't calm down." She panicked in her own thoughts.

"Um….Matsuri….where are we…."

"Huh? Oh right, right here is fine."

He took her to a grass field that was outside of the school building. He took a seat onto the soft grass with his hand still holding onto Meiko's. She silently followed his demand as she sat right next to him. Her heart rate increased, her sweat intensified.

"I…..I really don't know how to respond to this!"

"Meiko…"

"Y-Yes Matsuri!" She reacted quickly.

"...um…sorry."

"...huh?"

"I didn't mean to drag you all the way here unexpectedly. I just…..well….I really wanted to talk to you in private." He said playing with his fingers. "To be honest, I got incredibly nervous when the other students saw us together. I was about to lose it, but…..yeah."

Meiko just blinked at the boy, wearing a baffled expression. Unsure of what to say anymore. She was beyond worried. She believed that he was going to lash out at her for her actions from the other day.

Matsuri wrapped his arms around his knees and hugged them. "Listen, Mari told me about your past with Kate."

Meiko twitched a little.

"Sorry, but it's just that…there are many things I don't know about you or your past history. I only saw you as just this amazon beauty who was brave, strong and fierce. But after hearing what you've been through before you met Mari, I felt like an idiot."

"Matsuri?"

Matsuri said as he looked at Meiko. "Kate told me to be wary of you, saying how you're this brute who is dangerous and will kill anyone who goes near Mari."

Meiko bit her lips. Memories of her hurting Matsuri came back.

"But I don't think so." He offered a smile at the girl. "I don't see you as a brute, monster or a dangerous beast. I see you as just an ordinary beautiful girl." He said with a bright smile.

Meiko's eyes widened at the boy. A faint blush flushed on her cheeks as she looked at him, her mouth partly open. Her heart nearly skipped a beat and she was not sweating on the spot when she was put on the spot. But she did feel a tear in her eye, threatening to break.

"M-Matsuri…I…I don't know…you don't hate me?"

"Of course I don't. What happened back there wasn't your fault. Besides, I did throw myself in there anyways, so it was partly my fault anyways…..and Andre used that song to provoke you. None of this is your fault."

Meiko's lips trembled. She quickly faces the other way, wiping the tears from her eyes.

"Meiko?"

"S-Sorry," Her voice nearly broke. "I just…I don't know what to say….I still feel ashamed for what had happened."

Matsuri could hear as she was about to cry. "P-Please Meiko, I'm not mad. Please don't cry."

Meiko took a breather before she looked at the boy. "Sorry…..I was just worried that's all."

"...hey. I have a question. I know about the Meiko song, but is there more…..I don't know….a more positive song?"

"What do you mean?"

"You know, Kate's song was more for teasing you, isn't there a song that's more….cheerful. Something like that…."

Meiko's eyes wandered about before looking back at the boy. "There is one…..Mari wrote it."

"Really…." Matsuri fiddled for a moment before looking at the girl with pleading eyes. "Um….can I….can I hear it…..if you want?"

"Huh!?" Meiko's face nearly went red.

"Sorry! But it's just that…..if I want to know you better…..I feel like I should know what makes you happy."

Meiko's heart rate increased at a rapid pace. This boy was making her feel all warm inside…..and she wanted more of it. She brought both his hands to her chest, squeezing them together, pushing a lump of her bosom together.

"P-Promise me you won't laugh."

"I won't. Promise."

Meiko gave him a skeptic look with a bit of a pout. She took a breather before she was ready to sing…

"The 'Me' in Meiko is for merry~. She's bright and cheerful, she's an angel~. The 'I' in Meiko is 'Industrious'~. She always gives it her all~. Meiko-san~."

Matsuri took a moment for the song to sink in. His eyes sparkled as he looked at the girl beside him. The moment she sang, Meiko started to shine bright in his eyes, a small breeze passed through, lifting her hair in the air, she raised her hand to her cheeks, pushing her hair strand aside as she looked at Matsuri with a smile.

The boy could not find the right word to say to her or even had the courage to speak up. He was just stunned by her beautiful singing voice.

"Matsuri?"

"Ah! Um….s-sorry! I just…..I was surprised…." Matsuri fiddled with the strands of his hair, his face completely red. He could feel Meiko's eyes on him, waiting for a response. "You have a very beautiful voice."

Meiko's cheeks flushed deep red, breaking into sweat. Her hand squished between her massive bosom, feeling her heartbeat against her chest. "I-I see…"

"But….I liked the song." Matsuri said, offering the kindest smile he could to the vice president. "I think it describes you very well."

She couldn't hold back.

Meiko wrapped her arms around the boy. She rested her head on the boy's shoulders. Matsuri's eyes went wide, surprised by the sudden embrace. He could hear her breathing heavily, he could feel her bosom pressing against his chest. Her lips lightly touched his neck.

"Matsuri…I…I'm glad that you're alright." Her voice almost broke. "Can we…..stay like this….just for a little longer?"

Matsuri didn't say anything, he didn't dare to push her away. Instead, he hugged her as well. Wrapping his arm around her slim waist. Resting his head on her shoulders, he could feel her hair hitting his face as the breeze blew around them.

"I can feel her heart against mine….." He thought to himself quietly.

The two did not say anything, but remained in each other's embrace, enjoying the moment of silence.


Unknowest to the two, a small group of familiar students watched not too close but at a safe distance. Poking from the bushes, Etsuko, Asuna, Chiyo, Tsubaki, Mari and Hana spied on the two potential lovers.

"Aw~! No kissing! That's a letdown." Etsuko said as she puffed her cheeks, pouting.

"I was expecting some action. This is so disappointing."

Tsubaki looked at the two with a blank stare. "Seriously. You two have some serious weird thoughts."

"Well is it wrong? I think it's perfectly normal for friends to spy on each other. Plus it gives me ideas for my story that's coming along nicely." She said with a proud smile.

"I don't know whether you're a friend or a weird girl who gets way too romantic with these things." Hana responded.

"Then why did you guys come along!"

Hana's face flushed red. "W-We just came to make sure you guys weren't gonna cause any trouble!"

"Hana-chan, your face is red." Chiyo pointed out.

"No it isn't!"

"Oooh~. Looks like a certain blonde girl wanted to see some action too." Asuna grinned towards Hana whose face became crimson red by this point.

"S-Shut up! It's not what you think at all, damn it!"

As the group were talking amongst each other, Mari was taking the moment to watch the two embracing each other in silence. She looked at how happy they were, and how Matsuri made Meiko happy. It warmed her heart to see such a sight.

Her lips tugged at the corner, forming into a small, graceful smile. Ignoring the side show that was happening on her end, she continued to watch from afar, happy that Meiko was able to find peace.

She just hopes that her peace will stay like that…


..


And that's a wrap! After the assault on Andre and Matsuri, the aboveground student council makes an appeal to the chairman to have the underground student council removed from power and transfer it over to them. And Meiko has reconciled with Matsuri, making a permanent mark on their relationship. But this healing on her heart only stays for so long. With Kate brewing up a storm, Hachimtisu academy is gonna be shaken up from the ground up.

And here we are. Kate is finally making her moves and a rather devious one at that. She pushed Mari and the USC into a corner and had them right where she wanted them. She has more plans up her sleeves to officially strip the power of the USC and finally rule the school with an iron fist. And finally comes down to destroying the USC entirely.

This chapter is somewhat more focused on Matsuri and Meiko as their relationship takes another step. Nothing too major happened, but we're just getting to know Meiko just a tad bit more from what she usually projects herself as. For me, I like this side of her. She is hard, fierce and poses as a woman with authority. But when her defense is down, she is a sweet girl who suffered from bullying of her own. These are character traits that I would like to explore that weren't explored much in the manga.

At first, this chapter was gonna introduce us to Meiko shy persona whom I officially dubbed as "Shirayuki". But I felt that a single punch to the face is not enough to break her. It would have to be something bigger or just leave more of an impact. Another idea I scrapped from this chapter was the small chase scene with Meiko and Matsuri. Meiko, not having the nerve to confront Matsuri, would run away from him and just lead Matsuri on a wild goose chase across the school before they could sit down and have a moment. I scrapped this idea and will save for two other characters in this story. You can take a wild guess of who those characters will be. XD

If you have caught my news from the last chapter, I am currently in progress of working on a one-shot story of "Hitoyoshi and the Prison School" which is an adaptation of Etsuko's own little story that she is working on within the story. Hopefully I'm looking for a February release date, but that only depends on how things go. So be on the lookout for that.

As always, thank you for reading. Leave a comment and review for feedback, stay safe and I will see you guys in the next chapter!
