Chapter 3: Striptease Fighter
By the end of the day, the rain has ceased, and the orange sky looms over Honnōji Academy. Akane had no idea where Ryūko might be. After her confrontation with the Boxing Club captain, she wasn't in school for the rest of the day. She hopes that Ryūko is okay. No average person can withstand the powers of a single Goku Uniform like the ones in Honnōji Academy. She was considered lucky to even survive the brutal assault.
Akane was currently working on homework from the highest walls of the school. She typically goes back to her apartment, but she usually comes to the top of the walls where she can see Tokyo Bay from the standpoint of view.
Akane sits alone in the garden where the Garden Club planted their flowers. She enjoys doing her homework near the flowers because it helps her be more productive. The Garden Club manager doesn't mind her studying in the garden if she doesn't crush the flowers, but maybe because she is Satsuki's stepsister. The winds blew some of her hair, making her move some bangs from her eyes.
"Back here again, Akane?" A boy's voice sounds off from her side.
Akane turns up and smiles brightly at the sight of a male student who is also a first year. "Miyashiro Kunieda," she said. "How are you?"
[FIRST-YEAR CLASS 1C]
[MIYASHIRO KUNIEDA]
Miyashiro Tamotsu is one of the first years who came to Honnōji Academy after passing their ridiculously rigorous entrance exams. For a male student in the first years, he's somewhat short but not taller than Ryūko, with his medium-long, white hair tinted in red but spiking upwards with a single braid. His turquoise-blue gives the pleasanter gaze, which warms Akane to see her best friend again.
"Ah… you know, not so much," he said. Miyashiro comes up and then takes a seat across from Akane. "I heard about what happened the other day," he said. "I can't help but be sorry for that guy."
Akane doesn't want to be reminded of Suzuki. "It wasn't his fault," she stated, her eyes showering with sadness. "I was the one who stole the Goku Uniform. He didn't deserve to be punished."
Miyashiro wasn't sad but concerned about how it would affect Akane and what Satsuki might do if she did it again.
"Akane, I understand you didn't want to see that, but it's for the best. He used you to get that uniform, so it's his fault." He glanced over his shoulder, wondering who was spying on them.
And as always, he keeps glancing over his shoulders one too many times since anything could happen in Honnōji Academy. Even Akane wonders if her stepsister was always watching her when she first came to Honnōji Academy.
"Uh, Miyashiro, there's nothing to worry about," Akane assured.
"But what if she is," Miyashiro whispered, almost like he was panicking. "I mean, what if Satsuki is watching you? Aren't you worried your sister may be watching your every move?"
Akane snorted with amusement. "I think it would be silly, but this is my stepsister we're talking about, so I wouldn't be surprised if she was," she said nonchalantly. Despite the warnings and risks, Akane doesn't seem bothered with the Student Council stepping into her business.
Satsuki has clarified that she forbids anyone from inflicting harm on her as long as Akane keeps herself in line and does not try to anger her. But then again, she may revoke protection if Akane crosses the line with her. She felt it was for the best to not provoke in doing so.
As Akane was working on her math homework, she heard a loudspeaker from the schoolyard.
"Hey, new girl!" The voice of Takaharu Fukuroda echoes from the speakers. "Are you listening!? In one hour from now, we will execute your little friend! She's an accessory to your crime of treason against Honnōji Academy!"
Akane and Miyashiro snap over to the edge. Execute? She hopes there will be no more punishments, but why wouldn't there be another since Satsuki rules the school.
"Not again," she muttered.
"Uh…Akane, I think we shouldn't…" Miyashiro suggested, but he only saw Akane packing her homework and moving over to the wall's edge. Akane spotted a crowd converging to a boxing ring in the center. She had to know who was going to be executed. She takes the shortcut of riding down the staircase through the railings to speed up her way down.
"Hey, wait up!" Miyashiro called.
Akane could get down on solid ground and hurries over to the crowd. "Excuse me, coming through!" she called to the people around her, squeezing herself to get past the others. Upon approaching the boxing ring, Akane spots Takaharu and the one person she never expected to see in the open after so long.
The second person standing next to Takaharu is a teenage boy much older than Akane and taller with mid-length dark green hair and gray eyes. Akane knows who he is because he wears a Three-Star Goku Uniform like Gamagōri, except his uniform consists of a long white coat with a high neck collar. It has a built-in sword sheath at the back and three spikes on each shoulder. He usually leaves the coat open at the front, which shows his cadet-blue-colored vest. He also wears matching white pants, shoes, and a belt with three metal spikes on the front.
"If you wish to save her life, then quit hiding like a coward! SHOW YOURSELF!" Takaharu demanded.
Akane was surprised that Takaharu Fukuroda wasn't finished with Ryūko just yet. He seemed determined to get to Ryūko after he did not stop her.
Ryūko is nowhere to be found, but Akane is already shocked by what the boxing club captain is doing.
In the middle of the boxing club ring was Takaharu, with Mako Mankanshoku being held upside down, strapped to a metal cross. "Mako?!" Akane whispered in shock, unable to relieve the sight of Mako being held hostage.
"Using a hostage is kind of cliché, don't you think?" The student standing next to Takaharu asked.
"If I fail again, my Goku Uniform will be confiscated," said Takaharu. "I cannot even hurt a single hair to Akane because Lady Satsuki forbids it unless she says so, but Mankanshoku is the only one we know of who actually spoke to the new girl. I don't have any other option."
The new guy standing in the middle seems satisfied with Takaharu's resolve. "It sounds like you got your priority straight," he smirked. "Good, now get out there. Prove yourself."
Akane can't believe what the boy is doing. He's allowing Takaharu to execute Mako even if she is innocent. She clenched her fists, but anger never came too fast. She wondered why Satsuki would be stooping so low as to let someone else be the hostage.
"Oh, man! Oh, man! This is bad!" Akane can hear the cry of Mako coming from the metal cross. "Everyone at school is going to see my underwear now! I should've brought my sexy panties today!" Akane felt her eyebrows raised with an inquiry. She wonders how Mako can be so worried about being embarrassed in front of the whole school without her favorite underwear while she is being executed.
"She's an odd one," said Akane.
"And you tell me we're the odd ones," Miyashiro commented.
Regardless of how confused Akane is, she feels bad for Mako, who didn't do anything wrong, but she was going to be executed.
Akane has been wondering what the big box on the stage is. When the doors opened, One-Star boxer students were pushing a tank full of what appeared to be boiling water.
"Bring out the vat!" The boxing president cried out. The students bring up the tank and stop briefly in front of the crowd. To show what the tank is, Takaharu picks a small shrimp. "Ta-da."
Akane sees how the boxing captain flours it with a powder plate before dipping it into the tank. She held a breath when the tank turned olive, making her realize that the tank was boiling cooking oil. "He wouldn't…" she whispered.
"No!" Mako wailed. "If you guys dip me in the oil, then everyone's gonna see right through my uniform! This is bad! This is so not good!"
"Either that girl is being incredibly brave or incredibly stupid." The other student couldn't fight off the deadpan expression on his face after hearing Mankanshoku's priorities.
Akane couldn't stand aside and let Mako boil alive. She decides to act. "Wait, stop!" she called.
Takaharu and the other students heard her voice. Despite Miyashiro's protests, they turned to the girl who was just climbing up to the boxing ring to stop her from entering it. "Takaharu Fukuroda, what are you doing?" she interrogated. "Are you really going to boil her?!"
"If I have to," Takaharu answered. "And don't you get to bargain anything with me?" He throws his boxing glove to point at Akane. "Don't forget, it was your fault that I let the new girl escape." He seemed rather angry at her, too.
Akane was taken aback by Takaharu's accusation. "So, this is about me stopping you or just taking another chance to redeem yourself?"
"Both, actually," Takaharu answered. "I am not to bring harm to you, but I can bring harm to those who are around you. That is all that I can do for you."
If Akane could guess, she could be sure Miyashiro was quavering in fear after Takaharu mentioned him or anyone else Akane knew. Her frown doesn't come close to being angry, nor is she sad. She turns to the second student next to the boxing captain. He was wearing a long white trench coat with a high collar. It was clear that the second student was the second highest-ranking student next to Gamagōri. He wasn't as tall as Gamagōri, but he was taller than her with his dark green hair as he stared at her with his gray eyes. He even appears to have a sword shaft behind his back.
"Athletic Committee Chairman Uzu Sanageyama, how could you approve this?" Akane asked the student.
[ATHLETIC COMMITTEE CHAIR]
[UZU SANAGEYAMA]
Sanageyama makes a small noise from his mouth and swipes his hair back. "And what if I told you I did?" He held a smirk of satisfying expression.
Akane can't believe how disgusted she is feeling. "Did Lady Satsuki give you permission to approve these barbaric acts?"
"She did," Sanageyama confirmed.
Akane is feeling sicker than before. How can Satsuki be willing to let someone innocent as Mako Mankanshoku be executed just by talking to Ryūko? Her mouth tightened her breath. "Why?" Akane questioned.
"I wouldn't want to be a classic, but if that's what it takes to get the new girl over, then it's fine by me," said Sanageyama.
"How despicable," Akane hissed. "Do you have to be so hard to even Mankanshoku?"
Sanageyama gives off his bad boy-type smirk at Akane. "Oh, do you want to take her place instead?" he teased. "I supposed you want to, but then again, Lady Satsuki's orders stand. No hard feelings, though."
Akane's eyes narrowed slightly, taking the sight of Sanageyama away from her and focusing on Mako. "I'll tell you what," Sanageyama suggested. "Since you were the one who let the new girl dish out on Lady Satsuki, I'll be willing to let you have a little sparring match with the captain of the Boxing Club. If you wish to save Mako, raise your arms and fight the captain of the boxing club."
Akane is completely surprised by Sanageyama's proposal. "What?" she rasped. "Fight? Me?" She inquired about how she would fight if she didn't want to. "No way! I would never do that!"
"It's your choice," Sanageyama stated. "Either Ryūko shows up and fights, or you can take her place and fight Takaharu." He seems to be enjoying taunting Akane. "Come on…you know you can't stay away from all this forever. You should know this isn't a kind world."
Akane's jaws locked together in place. How can she fight Takaharu if she knows it will be against her nature? She wanted to avoid fighting and start living like a normal high school girl.
Just as she was lost in thought, someone jumped out of the crowd and stepped on the faces of a couple of One-Star students to reach over to the metal cross holding Mako. Akane and the others saw how the person had the red scissor blades. She can tell that it was Ryūko, but the girl seems to be wearing a very long cloak over her body. She stabbed the metal hinges to break Mako free.
"R-Ryūko!" Mayo shouted.
"I'm going to get you out of here," said Ryūko.
Twelve to thirteen One-Star students tried to stop Ryūko. She jumped over to dodge all of them, and they ended up getting dipped into the oil tank after accidentally dog-piling on the plate of flour.
Ryūko holds onto Mako as she twirls around and lands beside Akane.
"Ryūko?!" Akane gasped.
"So, new girl, we meet again!" Takaharu shouted in the microphone.
"Using a hostage to get to me here is pretty low," Ryūko proclaimed. She then hands Mako over to Akane, who is surprised, considering she is holding to Mako like a piece of cardboard. "You want a fight so bad, well here I am, so let's duke it out! One-on-one then."
Akane is sure the fight will begin shortly, so she carries Mako and walks out of the fighting ring. She stands at the front, where she can get a view.
"You're not in a club, but I can make an exception today," Takaharu sneered. "Get ready!"
Immediately, the bell rang to start the first fighting match. "Why does this have to be so weird for me?" Akane wonders how she got herself to be holding a poster for the boxing match because she was holding Mako the second later before she held a sign that said, "Round 1."
"I'm going to haze you like a freshman!" Takaharu is the first to strike Ryūko. His left boxing glove shoots multiple chain gloves out to hit Ryūko. Akane holds the sign as she watches Ryūko get hit with multiple boxing gloves. It looked painful to endure, but for some reason, Ryūko didn't seem to be taking any major hits by the barrage of chain gloves. The sight made her eyebrows raised with question.
"You like that!" Takaharu exclaimed. "The ring is filling up with a juggernaut of my left jabs!" Akane seems to notice that Takaharu doesn't see Ryūko flinching. "And here comes a right straight—psyche— it's actually a corkscrew!"
Akane saw how Takaharu faked his attempt to punch Ryūko when he instantly turned his glove into a sharp corkscrew drill.
"Ryūko look out!" Akane cried. But it was too late.
[TEN KEN FUN SAI]
The corkscrew drill hits Ryūko first, right at the body's center mass. The drill manages to hit the chest, but only to hit something hard. It ripped the cloak away to show that Ryūko intercepted the drill with her red scissor blade.
Ryūko took it head-on, unfazed. Suddenly, the fist was stopped, and her cloak was ripped apart. Once the cloak was destroyed, the fabric exposes what was underneath.
"Oh my god!" Miyashiro gasped with amazement and shock at the same time. He covers his mouth to his nose in hopes of avoiding a nosebleed.
"Uh…." Even Akane felt her cheeks growing tomato when she saw Ryūko.
The crowd, mostly the sexually hormonal teenage boys, started letting out loud cries of excitement and stared long and hard at Ryūko. Her outfit had changed since the last fight. She appeared to be wearing a strange outfit that was borderline lingerie. The costume was mainly black, with red lines accenting from the sleeves to the bottom of the heels. The outfit comes with high stockings that govern over her high heels. There is even some more red along the underside of her hair. The outfit exposes more skin than lingerie, covering only the upper torso and over the breasts to the small skirt.
The outfit was so skimpy that it distracted the boxing captain. He let his mouth give out a deeper gasp. "Wh-w-w-w-what the hell are you wearing?!" His voice seems to rasp because Ryūko wore a very exposed underwear outfit.
"Quit gawking!" Ryūko shouted. She wasn't the only one who noticed how Takaharu looked at her, especially at the assets. Even Akane finds herself envious just by looking at a girl with a bigger bust size.
"You're cheating!" Takaharu accused. "All so you can try to distract me with your sexiness!" No matter how hard he tried, Takaharu couldn't take his eyes off Ryūko's assets.
"It's not my fault it's like this!" Ryūko objected. "I'm not wearing this because I want to!"
"You slut! How dare you! You're mocking the boxing—no— all of the gentlemen's sport!"
"I am not!" Ryūko shouted.
The longer Takaharu stares at the breasts, the hungrier he gets. Akane doesn't like the sight. She is sure that Takaharu would want more of the excitement.
"Alright, in that case, I'm stripping down too." The boxing president made a slight show of pulling down his pants a little, licking his lips, and sounding like a pervert.
"Wha-! Hey! Now, you're the one who's doing the mocking!" Ryūko yelled, hoping to not see Takaharu taking his pants off.
Instead of his pants, which Ryūko and Akane thought he was pulling down, Takaharu took off the gloves he used to hide his real gloves. Instead of the traditional fist shape, they looked more like blocks of red cement with spikes along the knuckles. Akane and Ryūko's mouths are wide open with shock.
"Time to take off the soft gloves I used for a way bounce to bring the pain," the boxing captain sneered.
"What?!" Ryūko and Akane gasped.
The boxing club captain brings up the iron glove in the air. "Behold! This is what the real Honnōji Academy Boxing Club Athleticism-Augmenting Two-Star Goku Uniform looked like!" The president started getting too over-excited about finally using his gloves' full potential.
[HONNŌJI ACADEMY BOXING CLUB ATHLETICISM-AUGMENTING TWO-STAR GLOVES]
With a maniacal laugh, Takaharu pulled a chain that released even more spikes along the solid block. "I bet you're asking yourself why did he wrap them? If I didn't, the challengers from other schools would be too scared to fight me! But when I bear them for all the world to see, I feel even stronger! This! Is! My! Goku! Uniform!"
Akane was even more disgusted when Takaharu had to bring an iron knuckle into the boxing match. "That cheat! It's all because of that Goku uniform and not your own abilities that made you the bully!" she exclaimed. Akane hates how people get arrogant by relying on tools that give them a power boost instead of hard work.
"I don't know the rule of boxing, but I'm pretty sure that's illegal," Ryuko stated. "Oh well, bring it on!"
A second bell rings for the second round to begin. The crowd was getting more excited when they saw Ryūko in a scanty outfit. Akane walks across the ring with a sign that says, "Round 2."
"I had no idea what you were hiding underneath that cloak of yours, but now that you are half-naked, I'm gonna rip that bikini to shreds and send you flying!" Takaharu exclaimed as he brought up his corkscrew drilling punch again.
Now that Ryūko is half-exposed, Akane can only hold her breath with fear running through her veins. She witnesses Takaharu delivering a devastating corkscrew punch to Ryūko in the chest. "Ryūko!" Akane cried out.
There was the faint sound of something cracking. Takaharu's mouth forms a smirk. Ryūko braces herself for what's to come. The teenage boys in the crowd were eagerly waiting to see Ryuko getting naked.
Akane holds her hand to her chest to stop her heart from beating fast. The crack became loud enough until something hit the boxing ring. Akane gasped when she saw how Fukuroda's glove crumbled before her eyes. She couldn't believe it! What became of Takaharu's invincible iron glove didn't make a single dent in Ryuko's outfit.
"No way?!" Akane exclaimed.
"What the hell?!" Takaharu was shocked at how his prized weapon was destroyed. "M-my glove!"
Despite the growing red blush on her cheeks, Ryūko feels confident about the result. "Looks like your gloves' not the only thing that turns to steel!" she called. "So does my outfit!"
Feeling frustrated, the boxing captain makes a growling noise. He continued to try and attack multiple times around the body. "Impossible! Impossible! Impossible! Impossible! Impossible!" Takaharu is looking even more desperate, hoping one of his punches would push through Ryuko's defense. But it was no use. Takaharu is looking like he's hitting a rock.
"Geez, you call those punches!? Cuz I'm not feeling anything!" Ryūko taunted.
"Huh?" Akane inquired.
"Is that supposed to be a Goku Uniform?" Miyashiro inquired.
"I…I think so, but I don't know if it's actually a Goku Uniform," Akane's replied. She wonders how an outfit like the one Ryūko is wearing, with her body half exposed, can endure a single punch from Takaharu and the Goku Uniform.
"Wow! I didn't knew Ryūko know how to box!" Standing next to Akane, Mako beamed.
"Uh…it's not like she knew how to box, Mako," said Akane.
"I could agree with you more, girl," said a boy Akane didn't notice, standing beside her.
"But she's totally awesome! So friggin' awesome! So, anomaly awesome!" Someone below Akane seems to be just as hungry and perverted as the rest of the boys in the school. She turns down to a short boy with brown eyes and brown hair tied to a ponytail tail on top, which is probably poor, considering that he has an oversized black shirt that lopes to his left side and cut-off shorts.
"Uh…huh…" Akane uttered.
The bikini girl seemed to have enough of the boxer's useless hits, so Ryūko retaliated with a plate of vengeance. "Okay, now I get to have some fun!" she shouted.
Her outfit seemed to tighten up from the upper torso to the straps of the outfit. Ryūko sprints toward Takaharu. He makes a chain glove punch, but then Ryūko is even quicker than the gloves. She dodges every one of the chain gloves and attacks with astounding speed and agility.
"Left jab!" Ryūko swings the handle of her blade into his face, particularly at the head guard. "And a right hook!" This time, she thrust her blade to hit Takaharu into the guy's back. With two hits, he grunts out in pain. "And now, an uppercut!" Using all her strength, Ryūko pushed the handle of her scissors into his chin from below like an uppercut punch. She sent Takaharu flying with a K.O., falling in the head like a sandbag. He may seem to lose some teeth after the impact.
"And for dessert, a right straight!" Ryūko takes her scissor blade sword forward to slash Takaharu with one stroke. The Goku Uniform splits apart instantly, leaving him bare naked from Ryūko's signature attack.
[SEN-I-SOSHITSU (FIBER LOST)]
"Impossible!" Sanageyama gasped, eyes widening in shock.
Akane and Miyashiro were shocked as well.
"A Goku Uniform…" Miyashiro began.
"Was defeated!?" Akane finished.
It must be her eyes, but Akane could've sworn that she saw a small glowing red flying away from the rest of the shreds. It flew to Ryūko and was absorbed by her outfit, briefly glowed a soft rainbow light.
Ryuko wasn't done yet, though. Taking advantage of Takaharu's midair spin, Ryūko twirls her blade before swinging the dull side to catch Takaharu and swings him at the top of the pedestal with all her might. "Now it's time to finish you off!" She swings her scissor blade at the defeated student to send him flying towards Satsuki, standing on the pedestal tower.
Ironically, a wall of One-Star students formed up to stop the impact, but some blood was moving toward her. Then, Gamagōri and two more members of the Elite Four made their own barricade and got most of the blood; unfortunately, a single drop slipped by and landed on Satsuki's face. You could practically hear a drop painting to her skin.
Akane can't see Satsuki from down below, but she knows that Satsuki will be pissed. "Aw crap, Ryūko, you've done it now!" The girl couldn't believe Ryūko decided to bite off more than she could chew. The girl just defeated a club president. Instead of leaving to rest, Ryūko goes deeper by poking at the lion.
Satsuki wiped away the blood from her face clean with a quick swipe. Her expression remained unchanged, staring at Ryūko.
"How dare you!" Sanageyama had enough of the transfer student disrespecting the student council president. He tried to climb into the ring, but he was stopped when Satsuki called him off.
"Stand down." Satsuki's voice echoed down from her pedestal. The president was staring at Ryūko with an unmoved expression. "New girl, where did you get your hands on that outfit?"
Ryūko used her foot to kick the microphone on the ground into the air. She caught it quickly and brought it to her mouth. "I got it from my father," Ryūko revealed.
Akane felt her stomach turning again. She would probably need a bucket from now on. The girl averts her eyes away from the boxing ring.
"Really?" Satsuki inquired.
"Yeah, really, and are you seeing this scissor blade? It was left behind by the same scumbag who killed him!" Akane's eyes started to swell. She can feel tears going to pour out at any moment. "And now, you're gonna tell me… who this belongs to!" Ryūko shouted out, "Satsuki Kiryūin."
Akane can hear how Ryūko hissed her sister's name at the end. She now knows that Ryūko is after someone who killed her father and exact vengeance.
"Ryūko Matoi is your name, am I right?" Satsuki asked. "Then you must be Isshin Matoi's daughter."
"I knew it," Ryūko growled. "You knew who my father was." Suddenly, Ryūko couldn't stand any further and nearly collapsed from whatever happened. It was right then that Akane would realize something. The outfit is as powerful as the Goku Uniform. The only difference is that the uniform took a toll on Ryūko, unlike Goku Uniforms. It's never happened to anyone wearing the Goku Uniform before. Goku Uniform does break if strained, but it was different for Ryūko. The new girl had just beaten the Boxing Club president.
Akane understands that Ryūko could collapse in any second. In a sense of her moral duty, she enters the ring and holds Ryūko by the arms. "Wait, Ryūko. Stop," she said. "You're tired. You can barely stand up right now."
"Like hell, I'm tired," Ryūko rebuked. "I can take it." Of course, her words would prove her wrong once she is on her knees, holding onto the scissor blade for support.
"Stop it, Ryūko, please." Akane couldn't leave her be and decided to help the new girl in any way possible and avoid further violence. She loops Ryūko's left arm over her head and holds onto the shoulder. Carefully, she has Ryūko to where she can stand.
Ryūko takes one glance at Akane in wonder. "Why are you helping me?" she asked.
"Because that's what I do," Akane replied. She makes a small smile. "Sometimes, someone has to look over anyone when they are in dire need."
Ryūko blinks in surprise. She was about to open her mouth and respond, but she could barely speak a word as her uniform was breaking her strength.
Akane looks up at the pedestal where Satsuki is standing. She knows that her sister is looking down at her. Akane can tell that Satsuki is displeased with her aiding Ryūko. Regardless, she cannot let Ryūko be right in the boxing ring. Akane takes Ryūko and starts walking out of the ring without a word.
She turned to her best friend over at the crowd. "Miyashiro, help me with her," Akane called, making Miyashiro straighten up.
"Uh…Uh…Yeah!" Miyashiro complied, already panicking as other students around him watched the boy. He excuses himself forward, pushing past through the crowd, and holds up Ryūko's other arm. He was blushing very red, holding Ryūko in a very exposing outfit.
She could guess that the other One-Star students from the Boxing Club and under Sanageyama would probably jump on them if they had the chance. However, they just stood still and watched them leave with Ryūko in their arms.
Sanageyama glared at Satsuki's stepsister, carrying Ryūko away without a fight or protest. He turns to Satsuki and asks, "Lady Satsuki, do we let her leave like this? Little Miss Akane's defying your way."
"Don't even bother," Satsuki replied. "Let them be for now. She'll be back, but I'll speak with my stepsister until then." And so Satsuki turns around and walks away from the pedestal.
It was about sunsetting in Hōnno City, and the first years were taking the trolley down back to the No-Star district area with Ryūko beside her. One glance over, and Akane can see that Ryūko has finally passed out from the exhaustion caused by the uniform. She wonders where Ryūko got her hands on an outfit more powerful than a Goku Uniform. But still, Akane can't help but wonder about something else. The scissor blade. It was very tall and very big, maybe even taller for her to use in the height differences. She cringed at the sight of the scissor blade.
Akane looks down at her hand and sees them shaking slightly. She holds them together and closes her eyes, muttering something in between. She does not know how long she whispered to herself until the trolley jolted to a halt at the end.
Miyashiro peeks out of the trolley, looking for anyone following them or other students who could ambush them anytime now. Frankly, he's always been looking out for Akane since he came to Honnōji Academy, but now that Ryūko is with them, it's a hassle.
"Okay, the coast is clear," Miyashiro said. He comes up and takes the scissor blade out.
Akane carries the unconscious Ryūko out of the trolley. Still, she can't go any further because Ryūko's uniform is a lot heavier than she thought.
"How much further can we get Ryūko to my place?" Akane asked.
"Too much," Miyashiro answered, looking at the sky above them. It turned orange when Ryūko was done fighting with the Boxing Club President. "And even if we did, we're gonna need a doctor."
Akane can't leave Ryūko alone. She needs to find help for her fast. Looking around, she notices a group of kids over on the ground and calls out to them.
"Uh, excuse me!" Akane called. "Excuse me! Can you give a hand here?"
The kids turned to Akane. In a zip, the kids suddenly surrounded her with perverted eyes gleaming at the unconscious Ryūko.
"No way, it's a half-naked chick."
"Ah yeah."
Akane finds being with the weird ones with very high hormones very uncomfortable. "Uh, excuse me, but can you help us? I got this girl here," she indicated to the Ryūko on her shoulders, "and I was wondering if you know any doctors close by."
One of the boys from the boxing event inspected her like he was looking for something interesting. "Oh, so you need my help?" he questioned. "What's in it for me?" The boy's devious behavior makes Akane figure out the obvious answer.
"Money?" Akane suggested.
"How much we talkin' here?"
"I've got 700 yen," said Akane.
"That's all?"
"How 'bout 700 yen and a kiss."
"What?! From you?! No way!" The little boy protested. "I can't get a kiss from a girl whose chest size's not busted."
Akane lets a gasp of embarrassment, and she can feel a steaming blush burning on her cheeks. "My chest isn't that small!" Akane rebuked. "Just please show me the nearest doctor. She needs help."
The little boy gave a skeptical look, exchanging stares between Akane and Ryūko. It may take about two minutes before the boy finally makes his decision. "Oh, alright, but I'm only helping you because she's a badass for kicking that snobby boxing guy's ass to the brick." It was the only relief that Akane wanted to hear. Now she can finally take Ryūko to some place where she can heal her wounds.

Still here and kicking. I have other stories to still think of, and I can't find the time to make sure I post each one, so I'll try and do my best to keep the updates up and running. If you haven't watched Kill la Kill, then I suggest you try it. It's funny as hell, and I hope this chapter will still stay true to the lore. Give a comment on what you thought of this story so far, and what your thoughts are on the story and the show. Have a great day.
