KurachaSenpai: Thanks and you just and see regarding Kikyou...
Fortitude501: Hmmm...the only thing I can remember is that it was from a short story which was part of the LN or something. I did see a sketch based on that in the wiki before. That's all I know so far. For Chapter 9, I can agree that Kouenji has the potential to contribute and for the next chapter, it's a specialized filler bonus exclusive in this story
The Day after Christmas...
"It's good that you can finally join us for karaoke Kiyopon!" Haruka spoke to him.
"If you say so..." He replied.
"Even so, you got Ichinose-san to join our group!" She added and tonight, it reveals the Ayanokouji Group in a karaoke room. Everything is set including the party food consisting of french fries, chicken nuggets, chicken tenders, waffle fries, popcorn chicken and potato wedges. There's 2 cartons of sodas with 12 cans each also. Right now, everyone's chilling together as, "Where's Hiyori?" Beppu asked as he ate a popcorn chicken.
"She texted me saying she's bringing another student from her class to join our group." Sakura answered. "They should be here right now."
And the door was knocked as Akito went to answer it. Standing outside, "Hope we're on time."
"No worries Hiyori. We haven't started yet and-What the?!" Akito backed away as all looked at the entrance.
"Is that...Albert?" Hamaguchi asked as the boys cringed at his presence.
"Minna. Albert may be buff and huge but he's a gentle giant with good heart." Hiyori assured to the group and, "Wassup bro!"
"Hey." Ayanokouji and Albert fist bump each other as, "How did you 2 get to know each other?" Honami asked. "For starters, it was my idea to invite him to this group." Ayanokouji revealed surprising everyone.
(Flashback)
After running into Kanzaki and talking with him, Ayanokouji strolled his way to meet up with Horikita when he saw Albert waiting by. "Sup bro."
"Hey. You seemed to have recovered fast."
"Thanks...uh...can we talk?"
"Sure." They walked together while talking. "How are you so pro in beating me?" Albert asked him. "Mixed Martial Arts." Ayanokojuji answered.
"Cool. No wonder you took me down easily."
"True. But you're really a tough opponent to take down. You hit hard, block pretty well and your endurance level is something." Ayanokouji stated. "By the way, you box do you?"
"Yeah bro. I hit the gym and box during the weekends." Albert replied.
"Nice." He replied. "Thanks. We should hang out." Albert suggested. "Maybe...like how do you wanna hang out with me?" He asked. "We can be gym buddies and box each other through training if you like." Albert suggested. "That's good enough." He replied and he offered his fist to him. Knowing this, Ayanokouji fist bump him. "I guess we're friends now right?"
"Yeah bro. I'm very glad to be your friend. See you again." Albert left satisfied as Ayanokouji whipped his phone out. "She can help me out. To get him on our side." He thought as he did some texting.
(End Flashback)
"In addition to this, Albert still struggles with the Japanese language and sometimes, Math. When Kiyotaka told me about his idea. I supported it strongly." Hiyori added.
"Hi everyone." Albert greeted the group. The boys just waved their hands sheepishly while the girls smiled and waved normally. Albert then sat beside Ayanokouji and with that, "Alright everyone! Let's have some fun and bond with out new members as part of the initiation!" Haruka announced as everyone cheered. Sakura then checked the list of songs. "Who wants to go first?"
Silence filled the atmosphere as all looked at each other in wonder. Seconds later, "You know what? Let's mark someone to sing first. And I mark..."
...
...
...
...
...
"Akito-kun!" Sakura has already made the first move and it shocked him by surprise. "You got to be kidding me..." He sighed as he took the mike and went to the front.
Everybody cheered as music is being played. "Oh well. I heard it in that one movie yesterday." Akito thought as the lyrics appeared and he began his solo performance.
Started out on a one way train
Always knew where I was gonna go next
Didn't know until I saw your face
I was missin' out on every moment
You'll be one and baby I'll be two
Would you mind it if I said I'm into you?
(I'm into you)
So if it's real
Then darlin' let me know
I wouldn't mind
If you steal the show
(BGM continues playing as the rest cheered for him with Haruka gazing at him with a bright smile)
You and I we go together
You're the sky I'll be the weather
A pretty thing, the sun and rain
Who knew
Oooh, yeah
Summer night, perfect occasion
Where am I
You know I'll be waiting for you
Ooh, for you
So if it's real
Then darlin' let me know
I wouldn't mind
If you steal the show
So if it's real
Then darling let me know
I wouldn't mind
If you steal the show
You shine
You shine
Like forever, lasts forever
You shine
You shine
And steal the show
So if it's real
Then darlin' let me know
I wouldn't mind
If you steal the show
So if it's real
Then darlin' let me know
I wouldn't mind
If you steal the show
After the performance, everyone applauded for him as, "Seems familiar isn't it?" Ayanokouji asked him as Albert moved for some space for him to sit.
"Yeah. Saw that movie yesterday." said Akito as he went to sit beside him and already, Sakura marked Hiyori to sing next as she took a mike and went onstage.
"Was it Elemental?"
"Yeah. Wait how did you know?"
"I also watched it yesterday. And I saw you seated 2 rows in front of me and with Hasabe."
That made Akito's mouth dropped and his face flustered as he looked around a bit. And then, "Don't tell anyone but...I invited her to go out with me but we're not dating!" He whispered to him.
"Heh. I almost find it hard to believe." Ayanokouji exclaimed as he ate a piece of chicken tender. "But yeah, I won't tell anyone about this."
"Phew! Thanks man." Akito thanked him as he ate some french fries.
A few minutes later, Hiyori finished her session and up next is Hamaguchi and Peppu as they voluntarily went on stage and did a duet impressing the group. After that, Sakura marked Haruka to sing and she shyly shook her head. "C'mon Haruka-chan. You got this." Honami encouraged her. "B-But I was hoping to go for it later on...I..."
"Do it for him." Sakura whispered and pointed at Akito who's drinking some soda. She had a light blush and swallowed hard. Having no choice, she went onto the front and took a deep breath holding onto the mike with her hands as she waited.
Knowing that she's ready, "Time for a seasonal specialty." Sakura played the BGM as all can feel the Christmas joy especially Haruka who then began.
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
(As the BGM plays on, everybody cheered for her as Akito gave her the thumbs up as she smiled. Beaming in confidence, she sang on)
Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance, but you still catch my eye
Tell me baby, do you recognize me?
Well, it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me
Happy Christmas, I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying "I love you", I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now, I know you'd fool me again
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
(Haruka then started to dance around a bit with everyone cheering for her some until the next part begins)
A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice
My God, I thought you were someone to rely on
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover, but you tore me apart
Oh, oh now I've found a real love
You'll never fool me again
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special, special
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Special
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart (I gave you mine)
A man under cover but you tore him apart
Maybe next year I'll give it to someone
I'll give it to someone special
Special
As the BGM ends here, everyone gave Haruka a round of applause. She smiled and took a bow as she made her way back. Once seated, Honami and Sakura hugged her. "You were splendid out there!" said Honami. "Yeah! The way you performed is like you grew some confidence in yourself!" Sakura described as Haruka chuckled with her friends. "So true." Ayanokouji thought as he ate some potato wedges.
Up next is Albert and wow, he rapped instead of sing. "He listens to rap music and songs whenever he studies with me and the other Class C students or does his gym and boxing training session." Hiyori thought and the boys were cheering for him with the exception of Ayanokouji who just observed his performance. Once done, everyone applauded him as, "Slick moves."
"Thanks bro." Ayanokouji and Albert fist bump each other as Yukimura was marked to sing for the audience. He did alright in the end and Sakura made her move to sing also and wow, her performance is like in those idol concerts and stuff as everyone cheered for her. She also took a bow after her performance and when seated with the others, Honami and Haruka hugged her also. "It appears only 2 people are left for the singing." said Hamaguchi as he ate 2 pieces of chicken nuggets. "Yeah. And they're sitting right beside each other." Beppu added and all eyes are on Ayanokouji and Honami.
"Oh...um...would you like to go first Kiyotaka?"
"Actually, I was gonna go after you Honami."
"Fine..." Honami took the mike and went to the front. She then gave Sakura the thumbs up as she played the BGM. "What song will she sing?" Ayanokouji wondered and then, she began.
You know I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sleep
I don't even talk to people I meet
And I feel sad when you're sad
I feel glad when you're glad
And you must know what I'm going through
I just can't smile without you
You came along just like a song
You brightened my day
Who'd believe you were part of a dream
That only seemed light years away
And you know I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
And you must know what I'm going through
I just can't smile without you
Some people say the happiness way
Is something that's hard to find
Into the new, leaving the old behind me
And I feel sad when you're sad
I feel glad when you're glad
And you must know what I'm going through
I just can't smile without you
Into the new, leaving the old behind me
And I feel sad when you're sad
I feel glad when you're glad
And you must know what I'm going through
I just can't smile without you
Everyone cheered and clapped for Honami. "Such a beautiful singing voice." Ayanokouji thought with a smile when, "Kiyopon. You're the last." Haruka told him. "I know, I know." He replied as he stood and went to Honami as she passed the mike to him. "Gambare Kiyotaka."
He nodded at her as she joined the others. Once ready, he nodded at Sakura. "He requested a song to sing for someone special." She thought as she played the BGM. "Time to dedicate this song to the one who has helped me experience the freedom." Ayanokouji thought as he looked at Honami who's waiting for sing. So he took a deep breath and began.
And as I look into your eyes
I see an angel in disguise
Sent from god above
For me to love
To hold and idolize
And as I hold your body near
I'll see this month through to a year
And then forever on
Till life is gone
I'll keep your loving near
And now I've finally found my way
To lead me down this lonely road
All I have to do
Is follow you
To lighten off my load
You treat me like a rose
You give me room to grow
You shone the light of love on me
And gave me air so I can breathe
You open doors that close
In a world where anything goes
You give me strength so I stand tall
Within this bed of earth
Just like a rose
And when I feel like hope is gone
You give me strength to carry on
Each time I look at you
There's something new
To keep our loving strong
I hear you whisper in my ear
All of the words I long to hear
Of how you'll always be
Here next to me
To wipe away my tears
And now I've finally found my way
To lead me down this lonely road
All I have to do
Is follow you
To lighten off my load
You treat me like a rose
You give me room to grow
You shone the light of love on me
And gave me air so I can breathe
You opened doors I closed
In a world where anything goes
You give me strength so I stand tall
Within this bed of earth
Just like a rose
And though the seasons change
Our love remains the same
You face the thunder
When the sunshine turns to rain
Just like a rose
You treat me like a rose
You give me room to grow
You shone the light of love on me
And gave me air so I can breathe
You opened doors I closed
In a world where anything goes
You give me strength so I stand tall
Within this bed of earth
Just like a rose
You give me strength so I stand tall
Within this bed of earth
Just like a rose
By the time Ayanokouji finished his performance, everyone's mouth was open. Open for the whole time when he started singing. And then, everyone applauded him their loudest.
"Sugoi Kiyotaka!" Akito exclaimed.
"Not bad even though his voice is monotone." Yukimura thought.
"I have a feeling he sang that song for someone. I wonder...who does he have feelings for?" Hiyori wondered as Albert cheered and ate up all the waffle fries.
"Wow...he actually can sing." Haruka thought as she and Sakura grinned at each other.
"This was such a beautiful song..." Honami thought with a smile. "I wonder...does he feel something in me? I can already tell that this song was meant for me..."
After Karaoke...
The group of students are outside the mall chatting with one another when Haruka made an announcement. "Today's bonding session was a hit! It was the best session ever!"
"Especially when we initiated the new members." Yukimura added.
"Not to mention all of us cleaned up the room together in harmony." said Hamaguchi.
"And this is why we need to rename our group name." Haruka suggested. "We started out with 5 members and with another 5 initiated, this has became a larger group."
"Are we still initiating more students to join us?" Hiyori asked.
"I don't think so. I mean, this is already enough for this group." Haruka replied.
"So what's the new group name now that there's 10 of us?" Akito asked.
"The Ayanokouji Clique." All stared at Ayanokouji who was the one who came up with the new group name. "Though we have different interests and hobbies and are from different classes, we are always bound together through our strong and unbreakable friendship."
"I like this new group name Kiyotaka." Honami supported him.
"Same goes for me!" said Sakura.
"Then it's official!" Haruka declared as she raised her forward. Knowing this, all did the same with their hands stacked up and once ready, all raised their arms up together. "YEAH!"
Such a powerful friendship formed and displayed.
It is official in this story, The Ayanokouji Group will be renamed into, The Ayanokouji Clique. 10 students from 3 different classes hanging out together as friends, be it studying or bonding through various activities. However there'll be no more initiations. The membership is enough and that'll do.

Anyway, thanks for supporting my story for as of now, it got more than 17,000 views! I never expected a lot of support! So thanks again! And with this story complete, I can plan the other one I mentioned a couple of chapters ago. Not to mention I also better update my other stories. Oh well, sayonara!
