Ataru looked at Shiho and smiled "Suzui-Chan... I umm... I do really like you I have for a long time now" he said looking nervous while Shiho blushed hard as she replied "R-Really Ataru-Kun?" while looking up at him, Ataru nodded "Yes... I didn't think you'd ever give me a chance though since I look like him" he said looking a bit sad at those words as he looks away from her.
Shiho suddenly put a hand on Ataru's cheek making him raising his eyebrows and look back at her "You're not him and I know in my heart you'll never be him.." she said moving in and kissing his cheek softly "Suzui-Chan..." he muttered looking at her while Hikari looked at the others "Never seen Daddy look so flustered before" she said to Ryuji and giggled, Ryuji held up a finger to shush her as he picked her up off Ataru's lap then put her on his lap and rubbed her head softly.
Ataru smiled and blushed softly "Thank you... Suzui-Chan" he said grabbing her hand off his cheek and kissing it softly "You can call me Shiho if you want.." Shiho replied blushing softly, Ataru smiled as he replied "I'd love that...Shiho" then leaned in and kissed her softly making everyone react with shock but none more so than Shiho who for a moment looked totally surprised then smiled as she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back.
Ryuji smiled as he suddenly covered Hikari's eyes making her giggle "Uncle Ryuji why are you covering my eyes?" she asked moving her head around trying to get free from his hand "Yeah why are you covering her eyes for? it's not like they're doing anything X-Rated..." Akemi asked giggling "She's only 8 years old she doesn't need to see that..." Ryuji replied nodding as Ataru stopped kissing Shiho and looked at him "Pretty rich coming from you Ryuji considering she saw you making out with Akemi earlier..." he said jokingly making everyone laugh.
Shiho giggled as Ryuji moved his hand off Hikari's face "He's got you there Sakamoto-Kun..." she said laughing a bit more as Hikari giggles "Uncle Ryuji is so goofy!" she said bouncing a bit on his lap while Ryuji shakes his head "Guess I can't argue that..." he replied kissing Hikari on the head and snickering softly.
The Next day at school in the afternoon Shiho had just finished changing for PE and was heading outside for track when she was approached by a boy with black hair that had red frosted tips and cold looking black eyes when Shiho saw him she reacted with fear "Hello Suzui-Chan..." he said smirking at her, Shiho backed up a bit "What do you want Nanase-San?" she asked looking scared she knew full well who he was and what he actually wanted Yugi Nanase was the leader of the male track team and had a notorious reputation of getting other students expelled for bullshit reasons thanks to his father being on the school board and as such he treated the school like his castle much like his idol Suguru Kamoshida before him.
Yugi kept smirking as he moved closer to her "You know what I want Suzui-Chan... have you thought about what I said last time?" he asked grabbing her arms suddenly and pulling her closer "Yes now Let me go! I'd never date an asshole like you!" she replied squirming in his grip, Yugi smirked coldly "Well that's just no good is it?" he replied as he forcefully kissed her and grabbed her between the legs, Shiho let out a scream as she suddenly slapped him hard across the face "Fucking pig!" she gasped looking at him while crying.
Ataru had just stepped outside and pulled out a joint from a gold case he kept in his pocket he was about to light it up when he heard Shiho's scream he quickly put his joint away then ran to where he heard the scream and saw Shiho with her hand still in the air with tears flowing down her cheeks and Yugi growling angrily "You should've just played along Suzui-Chan! Consider yourself expelled!" he said pointing at her as Ataru walked up "Hey what the hell is going on here!?" he demanded as he stood next to Shiho.
Shiho sniffed "Ataru this pig tried to sexually assault me!" she said which made Ataru growl as he looked at Yugi "Ah Kamoshida-Kun... never thought you'd be the big hero" he said with a taunting smirk, Ataru went to grab Yugi but Shiho stopped him "Don't do it! you'll be expelled his father is on the school board!" she pleaded to him as Ataru kept growling angrily "Come on Kamoshida-Kun hit me I dare you! I'll have you expelled faster than Sakamoto blowing out his knee!" Yugi said laughing darkly as he turned and walked away.
Ataru pointed at him while looking livid and said "You won't get away with this Nanase!" making Yugi stop walking as he peered behind him "Try and stop me then..." he replied while continuing to laugh tauntingly as he walked off "Shiho... are you alright? did he hurt you?" Ataru asked looking at her a serious but angry look on his face "I'm fine... but he did touch me between the legs and forcefully kiss me" she said explaining what happened to him "How does that bastard get away with crap like this?" he asked hugging her softly "His father is the head of the school board and his father believes his son no matter what and believes he can do no wrong" she explained hugging him back.
Ataru sighed "There's got to be something we can do... he can't be allowed to get away with this!" he replied pulling out his gold case again and taking out a joint when Shiho saw that she reacted with shock "You smoke pot?" she asked curiously as Ataru nodded "My therapist gave me a prescription... it helps me keep my anger in check and mellow out" he explained lighting up his joint and taking a puff, Shiho nodded "I suppose growing up looking like him wasn't easy huh?" she replied hugging him again.
Ataru nodded "Yeah everyone treats me like a criminal... not only that my Mom died when I was 13 so I've been raising and taking care of Hikari on my own it's not so bad as Mom left me the house, all her money and her parlor she was rather rich, matter of fact she was the highest paid Masseuse in all of Japan" he explained taking another puff as he hugged her back, Shiho gasped in shock "I... I'm so sorry Ataru I had no idea" she replied tiptoeing to kiss his cheek.
Ataru shook his head "It's fine Hikari makes everything worthwhile she's my little angel..." he replied smiling happily he was feeling a lot calmer thanks to the joint he was smoking "Yeah she's a real sweetheart... so uh what do we do about Nanase? he's threatened to get me expelled!" she asked curiously while Ataru shook his head "I don't know... I really don't know" he replied looking down.
