-ZeroTopia-
AWA Academy
There are a lot of strong fighters that are attending in AWA, from humans with basic of powers to the extremely overpowered, the school is stacked with powerful fighters. Of course, some of them a very competitive and loves to challenge others in a fight, the school has no problem letting students fight each other as long as they do it in a proper place for example the stadium where fighters can fight to their hearts content.
But some fighters would prefer to fight in the more traditional ways.
In one large room in building black, there is a small arena where normal fighters like a boxer, mixed martial artist and wrestlers can duke things out. The room is something you would expect from an independent fighting league, there is a wrestling ring in the middle and is surrounded by many seats and there are two entrances and ramps in each side.
And is currently being used.
"AAAAHHHH!" a high pitched scream of pain is heard all over the room.
A wrestling match is currently occuring in this room as many students watches which includes Chizuru, Kenji Kazama, Oohori, Shinozaki, Yuuki Asaba, Davis(whom is thankfully away from Chizuru) & Takeru, Ryuuko, Mato, Yuusuke, Ikki, Ayumi, Tai, Armin, Touma, Ranma, Madoka, Lina, Grimmjowz, Duo and so-on. All of them are hyped up and cheering loudly as two girls wrestles inside the squared circle.
The first girl has a petite body. She has a long black hair with hazel eyes. She wears a red & white two-piece wrestling attire with red & white armbands and red & white boots. This is Sakura Hagiwara, an idol turn wrestler.
The second girl has a waist-length lavender hair with purple eyes. She is currently wearing a white gym t-shirt, red bloomers, white thigh-high length stockings and red sneakers. This is Kyou Fujibayashi.
As of this moment, Kyou had Sakura in a very painful figure-four leg lock with no ways of countering. Sakura screams in pain as she tries to escape from the painful submission move but was futile as Kyou puts on more pressure on pinning her legs.
"What do you say Hagiwara, do you wanna quit!?" a young man said in a black & white striped shirt and black pants with black leather shoes. The young man has a long black curly hair and his most noticeable trait is his long nose. This is Usopp.
Usopp placed a microphone near Sakura's face as she continues to scream in pain, "Would you quit!?" he asked once again.
Sakura wanted to resist saying but unfortunately she can't take it anymore, "I...I...I QUIT! I QUIT! PLEASE STOP THE FIGHT! I QUIT!" she cried for mercy.
"She quits!" Usopp announced as he waves his hands in the air indicating that the match is over as Kyou finally let go of Sakura's leg.
DING! DING! DING!
Takatoshi or Big Taka rings the bell as Jirou stood up with a mic on his hand.
"Here is your winner...KYOU FUJIBAYASHI!" he declared as the crowd cheered loudly.
Back in the ring, Yoshika entered to check on Sakura whom is holding her leg in pain as Kyou went to a corner to catch her breath.
In the crowd, we see the boys talking to each other.
"Wow...Kyou defeated her and she's not even a wrestler." Kenji commented.
"I saw her beat the living daylights of an idiot and let me tell you, she is no pushover." Yuuki replied as he remembered one time witnessing Kyou beating up a poor sap with a blonde-dyed hair.
"You know even if the match was not an 'I Quit Match' the results will remain the same." Oohori said sharing his opinion.
"What's up with that girl? She is insanely strong!" Shinozaki exclaimed.
"Kinda like those from your school." Chizuru said.
Shinozaki was silent before he nodded, "Point taken." he said as remember how insanely strong the girls that attends in his school back from his homeworld.
Suddenly a hatch opened underneath the wrestling ring as it slowly descends down the open floor then minutes later a boxing ring rises up from the hatch before closing. Then the song Eye of the Tiger began to play as lights began to focus on the entrance ramp as everyone cheered.
"Sweet! A boxing match!" Oohori cheered.
"Do they had to add music for this?" Kenji asked with half-lidded eyes.
"It just adds excitement for the upcoming fight." Yuuki replied.
As the crowd continues to cheer, Luffy came out from the right entrance ramp wearing a red & blue shorts with a Jolly Roger symbol on the right side, he is followed by Edward, Eren and Kisame.
On the left entrance ramp, Natsu came out wearing an orange short with the Fairy Tail symbol on the left side, he is followed by Naruto, Ichigo Kurosaki and Soul Eater.
Kenji then stood up, "Hey Usopp! We know that Luffy is good friend of yours but be fair for this fight!" he shouted.
Usopp raised his hands in defense, "Hey I won't that! Do I look like a dirty official to you!?" he asked with a slight hurt look.
"Well...we are talking to a liar after all." Ryuuko bluntly commented.
An imaginary arrow with the word 'liar' suddenly strucked Usopp from behind as the long nosed referee hungs his head down in shame.
As each group prepares for the match, Shinozaki turns to Chizuru.
"Hey Chizuru can you do me a favor?" he asked the blue eyed blonde.
Chizuru turns to him, "Sure...what is it?" he asked.
"Can you grab the pictures I took during the night when you were singing, I had those developed in the photography club and they just texted me that it's finished, I would go there myself but seeing what I am now..." he explained before pointing his finger to his foot which currently wrapped in heavy bandages.
Chizuru winced, "Oh...right..." he said as he remembered yesterday when an anvil suddenly fell down on Shinozaki's foot crushing it, where the anvil came from nor whomever drops it remains in question, due to that Shinozaki can't walk easily and is currently bound in a wheelchair, "All right, I'll go get it." he accepted, being a good friend that he is.
"Thanks." Shinozaki said.
Chizuru nodded as he quickly stood up and made his way out of the room. Outside, the blonde had an unsure look on his face, he took a deep breath as he starts to walk in the hallway passing other students who for some reason would gave him a cold look, he winced from that as he quickens his phase trying his best to ignore the looks everyone is giving him but his walk came to a halt when he realized something.
"Where is the room of the Photography Club again?" he asked with no one in particular.
Back in the arena room, the crowd are cheering wildly as Natsu and Luffy trade blows at each other.
"Come on Luffy, use your left! I told you use your right! Your left should do the trick! You could have done it better with your right!" Oohori shouted.
Kenji watches the fight with half-lidded eyes, "Now we know that Oohori won't ever qualified as a coach." he commented.
Shinozaki was enjoying the fight when Yuuki taps his shoulder, the glasses boy turns to him, "Yes?" he asked.
"Does Chizuru knows where the photography club is?" Yuuki countered him with his own question.
Shinozaki thought for a minute when realization kicks in, "Woops." is all he said with a nervous face.
"Woops indeed." Yuuki said as he sighed.
"Is something the matter?"
Yuuki took a deep breath before answering, "I'm worried about Chizuru walking around alone this building." he said.
"Why? Does he get lost easy?"
"No...it's just that everytime he comes here, he gets really nervous." Yuuki explained.
Shinozaki then thought about it, "Come to think of it, I do remember him seeing all nervous when we visited the Light Music Club, why is that?" he asked.
"Let's just say that there is a club here that Chizuru is a part of...and let's just say he hasn't been attending that." Yuuki explained.
Back in the hallways.
Chizuru is walking back and forth as he tries to remember where the photography club is even though he has never been there before.
"Uhh...I should've ask Shinozaki where the club room is!" he said in frustration as he thought hard of what to do then an idea came to him, "Maybe I should ask someone for directions from another club, yeah that might do." he said.
He then quickly approaches a door near to him, he grabs the knob and opens the door without knocking or looking at the name plate of the room. As he opened the door, he was greeted by glares from five individuals, three males and two females to be exact.
The first female is a 25 years old Chinese-American. She has amber-brown eyes with a slightly tan complexion and her plum-colored hair is tied in a loose ponytail. She wears a black crop top, a very short cut-off jeans and brown shoes. She has a tribal tattoo on her upper arm, reaching all the way up to her neck. This is Rebecca Lee or Revy to her comrades.
The first male is a heavily muscled African-American. His head is completely bald and his eyes are hidden behind from a pair of sunglasses. He wears a green flak-jacket over a black shirt, white military pants and Vietnam War-era US military jungle boots. This man's name is Dutch with his last name unknown.
The second male has a darkish-brown hair and the sides of his face to his jaw are covered with thick beard. He wears a blueish-gray jumpsuit and black shoes. He wears a red goggles on his head. The man's name is unknown but everybody calls him Chaa.
The third male is a Scottsman. He has his hair styled in a mohawk, he wears a greasy-white shirt, gray pants and black boots. This is John MacTavish also known as Soap.
The second female is a small girl and is the youngest of the five. She has an ankle-length pink hair tied in two pigtails that reaches her knees and her eyes are magenta colored. She wears a white school uniform with red collar & tie, red skirt, black thigh-length stockings and brown shoes. This is Aria Holmes Kanzaki.
The five are currently sitting around a circular table filled with gun parts, bullet shells, cigarettes, can of beers and a box of lollipops. The young girl has a lollipop on her mouth while the four adults smokes. Chizuru began to sweat before quickly looking at the door's name plate that says 'The Guns Club', he slowly looks back at them with a nervous look as they continue to glare at him.
Then Revy stood up and marches her way in front of the sweating blonde.
"Whattaya want huh brat!?" she asked with a very intimidating face which made the boy shake in fear.
"I...uhh...umm...j-just..." he tries to ask her for directions but her intense glare made him forgot what he wanna say, though he had to admit that she is very beautiful, not that he wanna say that out loud or he may end up getting a bullet on his head.
"Huh...speak up brat!" she demanded.
Chizuru gulped and thought hard what to do and quickly manage to come up with something very genius.
"I'm sorry! I got the wrong room!" he said in panic before quickly closing the door leaving a dumbfounded Revy.
"Tch! What a wimp!" she said.
"Well...you did scare him." Dutch said with a grin making the other occupants of the room to laugh.
"Shut up!"
Back outside, Chizuru was walking fast as he passes by a tall man.
The tall man is an elder American whom is probably in his early 30s. He has a blonde crew cut hairstyle with blue eyes. He wears a black skin-tight shirt, gray cargo pants and black military boots. This is Major Shane Caxton.
The major made a short glance at Chizuru's retreating form before stopping in front of the Guns Club room. He then opens the door but unlike Chizuru, he didn't receive any glares.
"Sir!" Soap said as he salutes at the veteran soldier.
Shane salutes back, "At ease!" he replied as Soap sitted back.
"So how's your expedition in the ruin city of Dubai from the alternate Earth?" Chaa asked.
The major took a deep breath, "As expected, the place is desolated, it's like the world finally ended while walking there." he explained.
"It's that bad?" Dutch asked.
"Buildings destroyed, every place is filled with sands, dead bodies everywhere, yeah it's that bad." Shane said sarcastically making Dutch snort at his reply.
"Bloody hell! That's just fuck up like the war I've been through." Soap commented.
"Any new recruits?" Chaa asked.
The major sat down on a green couch before speaking, "We just recruited Captain Martin Walker and his crew but young Walker is kinda unhinged so we decided to bring him to a psychiatrist before bringing him back to battle." he replied.
"Well best of wishes for that guy." Chaa said as he drank his beer.
"Anyway I saw young Chizuru Tachibana from outside, any insights from that." Shane asked.
The moment he said Chizuru's name, the youngest person in the room began to cough violently while the adults stares at her.
"Cough! Did you just say...cough! Chizuru...cough! Tachibana?" Aria asked between her coughs, "Where is he?" she added.
"I saw him walking outside with a nervous look, if I had to guess he came from here!?" Shane deducted.
"Got that right! Revy here scared the shit out of him." Dutch snickered.
"Shut up Dutch!" Revy hissed.
"Wait! The blonde that came here earlier...that was Chizuru Tachibana!?" Aria asked furiously earning a nod from everyone, "Arrggghh! Why didn't you guys tell me so I could have shoot him right on the spot!" she asked as she gritted her teeth.
"We didn't tell you because we know you'll try to kill him the moment you get the chance, though personally, I would love to kill that wimp too!" Revy said as she blows a smoke from her cigarette.
"Get in line Two Hands! I'm taking him out first!" Aria growled.
Revy gave her an amused smirk, "Oh, is that a challenge!?" she said as she was about to pull her gun but Chaa managed to diffuse the situation.
"All right! Knock it off, you two! The academy strictly prohibits killing another person here in this world, so I suggest that both of you to calm down before you two receive a ticket towards Impel Down!" Chaa warned.
Revy clique her tongue as Aria sat back on her beanie bag with a pout.
Soap then turns to younger girl, "Just what got you so mad with the boy? From what I heard he seems to be a very nice guy!" Soap commented.
"And a good singer too." Dutch added earning a snicker from everyone.
Aria huffed, "I don't like him not because his a wimp but the fact that the headmaster and the organization is backing up someone like him!" she ranted.
"So you heard about the rumor of that boy getting a big role for the organization." Shane said earning a nod from the pink haired girl.
Revy blows another smoke, "I'm with pigtails here, just what the heck that boy did to deserve the higher-up's attention, he seems like nothing more but a useless kid that can't even hurt a fly if you ask me." she said in annoyance.
"Whatever it is, it's something that the higher ups has already decided, we can't do anything now but to wait." Shane said.
Aria pouted, "Still..." she said with her arms crossed.
"If it makes you feel better I heard that he and his class are not allowed to take on missions yet." Chaa said.
Aria then smirked when she heard that, "Well...that's good!" she said as picks up her gun, "Don't wanna have him getting all the glory that he doesn't deserve!" she said before firing her gun on a wall hitting a bullseye.
Shane sighed at this girl, "She could just told us that she's jealous but knowing this girl, she'll deny it." he thought as remembers that Aria is the kind of girl you call a tsundere.
Back in the hallways, Chizuru keeps on walking while keeping himself calm.
"Geezuz! I know I get cold looks from everyone but those glares did frozen me solid!" he commented before stopping, "What was I doing again? Oh right! Directions!" he said before turning into a two large fancy doors in front of him, "Woah...that's a big door." he said.
Chizuru, not wanting to repeat the mishap earlier, looks up and read the room's name plate which is 'Music Room' before he proceeds to knock, "Pardon me!" he called out before opening the left door.
As he opens the door a sudden gush of wind accompanied by flowing rose petals greeted the blonde, his eyes blinked in surprise to see seven persons inside all wearing the same clothes which consists of a lavender uniform suit, white shirt underneath with black tie, black pants and shoes.
The first person is seems to be an androgynous boy with short brown hair and large brown eyes. This is Haruhi Fujioka.
The second person is a tall French-Japanese young man that has pale-blonde hair with blue eyes. This is Tamaki Suoh.
The third person is another tall young man that has a short black hair styles in a casual look, he has brownish-grey eyes which is concealed by a slim, rim glasses. He is Kyouya Ootori.
The fourth & fifth person are a pair of mischievous twin young men. Both have messy orange-hair with bright-yellow eyes, the two can only be identified differently with their which are swift from different angles. This are Kaoru & Hikaru Hitachiin.
The sixth person was a small boy but believe it or not is actually older than he looks. He has a short, honey-blonde hair with orange eyes, he holds a stuff rabbit on his arms. This is Mitsukuni Haninozuka or 'Honey' to everyone.
The last person was a young man with a stoic face and is the tallest of the bunch. He has spiky-black hair with dark gray eyes. This is Takashi Morinozuka or 'Mori' to everyone.
"Welcome to the Host Club." the seven said in an elegant manner.
Chizuru stares at them for a minute when a tick-mark appeared on his head, "DAMN YOU RICH BASTARDS THAT PLAYS THE HEARTS OF YOUNG GIRLS!" he yelled in anger.
After he said this, three out the seven took offense on that, "WHAT DID YOU SAY!?" Tamaki & the twins yelled back at the same time.
Chizuru quickly slams the door shut then he kicked the doorknob with all his strength bending it making the three from the inside unable to open it.
"OY! OPEN THIS DOOR YOU BASTARD!" Kaoru shouted.
Chizuru smiled in satisfaction and began to merrily walks away as the trio continues to shout.
Back inside, the trio desperately tries to open the door to no avail as the other four watches.
Haruhi sighed, "Despite how much I like this club, I can't help but agree with that guy." Haruhi thought. To tell you the truth, Haruhi is not a boy but is actually a girl, she only got involve in the Host Club in order pay an expensive vase that she broke.
"Haruhi, you better not thinking of agreeing with that boy." Kyouya stated as he tips his glasses.
"So you're a mind reader now." Haruhi said sarcastically.
Then Honey spoke up, "Nee...doesn't that boy looks familiar." he said as Mori nodded in agreement.
"Apparently...he is quite well-known in this school." Kyouya commented as he looks at his tablet checking on Chizuru's profile, "Chizuru Tachibana, 18 years old, a member of Class 1 and a group known as The Clique and currently works as delivery boy." he said as if he was reporting a crime suspect.
Tamaki turns to him with an annoyed face, "So that's his name! We're so hunting him down and have him pay for what he called us and for breaking the doorknob!" he said.
"That won't be necessary because the school would be paying that in his stead." Kyouya stated shocking the trio.
"What are you saying that school backs up that bastard!?" Hikaru yelled in shock.
"Unfortunately...yes." the glasses boy answered bluntly.
"That's unfair!" Kaoru whined.
"Huh..." Haruhi hummed as she placed her finger on her chin, "Aside from his comments earlier, I gotta feeling that his a good guy, might as well befriend if I get the chance." she said.
"HARUHI!" Tamaki cried as he glomps the poor girl, "YOUR FATHER! YOUR FATHER WON'T ALLOW HIS DAUGHTER TO HUNG OUT WITH A CLASSLESS COMMONER LIKE THAT!" he cried as he rubs his cheeks on her.
"He's right! He's right!" the twins chanted in agreement.
Haruhi gave them a blank look, "Damn you rich bastards!" she thought in annoyance.
Back to Chizuru.
"I've been walking here for who knows how long and I still don't know where the Photography Club is and I can't even find any decent person to ask for directions!" he complained.
"Hey Chizuru!" a voice called his name.
Chizuru turns around to see a boy behind him. The boy has an average height but Chizuru is inches taller than him. He has green eyes and black curly hair with green highlights work freckles on his face. He is currently wearing a blue gym clothes with white linings and red sneakers. This is Izuku Midoriya or Deku to his friends.
The blonde smiled, "Hey Izuku! What's up buddy!?" he greeted as he and Izuku fist bump.
"I'm doing good but what are you doing here?" he replied before asking.
Chizuru groaned, "I am looking for the Photography Club." he replied, "Do you any chance know where it is?" he asked the freckled boy.
Izuku blinks at him before pointing his finger to the right, the blue eyed blonde look at the direction of where Izuku is pointing and his eyes widen in disbelief. On his left, was a door with 'Photography Club' written on the name plate.
"Huh...what do you know, it's just right there..." he said dumbly as he turns to Izuku, "Well...it's awesome meeting you today but I gotta get into business." he said.
Izuku nodded, "Yeah! I'll see you around." he replied before walking away.
"You too!" Chizuru replied as he approaches the door then he knocks, "Pardon me!" he called out before opening the door and is greeted by a flash of light.
The light made his eyes blurry enabling him to see clearly, "Aak! My eyes! Why you!? When I get my hands on you shutter-happy bastard, I'm gonna kick your butt to the next week!" he growled as he swung his arms trying to punch whomever flashes him with light.
"Umm...umm...s-s-s-sorrryy..." a very nervous squeak was heard.
Chizuru stopped moving as he narrowed his eyes, he shook his violently trying to get this bearings and when his vision returned he saw a girl with a camera in front of him with a nervous look.
"Y-Yoshika?" he said in confusion then he made a closer look, "Nah...you're not her." he stated with a shrug.
The girl blinked before speaking, "ummm...I'm s-sorry again f-f-for taking a picture of you, I-I-I j-just not want to m-miss a photo opportunity." the girl explained nervously.
Chizuru stares at her before nodding, "It's all right, I totally understand miss uhh..." he said but trailed when he realized that he doesn't know her name.
The girl caught this, "Oh! I'm Fuu Sawatari, a member of the Photography Club!" she said introducing herself. Fuu has a short brown hair and brown eyes. She wears a white uniform sweater, black skirt, black tights and brown eyes. She is also known as Potte to her friends.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Chizuru Tachibana." the blonde introduced himself.
"Nice to me...nice to...meet...nice...nice to..." Fuu said in panic.
Chizuru quickly puts a hand on her shoulder, "Woah! Calm down! Take a deep deep breath before releasing it." he advised which she comply, "So...feeling any better?" he asked which she nodded, "Good! Do you get nervous meeting new people?" he asked.
Fuu nodded, "Hai...but it's not all that bad as I get to take pictures by meeting new people." she replied.
"Do you like taking pictures?"
Fuu nodded again, "I've been taking pictures using this camera that I inherited from my father." she said with a sad tone.
Now Chizuru maybe an idiot at times but he can figure things out through simple words and with the sad tone from her voice, he came up with a sad answer - her father is gone.
"Sorry about that but I'm going to guess that his love of taking pictures lives on to you..." he said earning as she looks at him in surprise, "...and whenever he is now, I know he's very proud of you." he finished.
Fuu smiled at him, "Thank you." she said.
Chizuru gave him a cheeky grin, "No problem! Anything for a friend!" he said.
"W-wait...I'm your friend?" she asked in surprise.
The blonde made a sad face with big puppy eyes, "You don't want to?" he asked.
Fuu giggled, "Of course, I do!" she answered back as Chizuru chuckled. After a minute of laughing, Fuu spoke, "So what are you doing here, Chizuru-san?" she asked.
Chizuru was about to answer when another girl barges in the room.
"Potte-buchou! We need to go to the arena! There is an event goin on there!" the girl said in excitement. The girl has a long gray hair that curls at the bottom with greenish black-eyes. She wears a kaki colored best over a white uniform, gray skirt, socks and red shoes. This is Kanae Mitani.
Fuu's eyes brighten in excitement, "Really!?" she asked. Not wanting to miss a photo opportunity, she quickly grabs a box of films before turning to Chizuru, "I'm sorry, Chizuru-san but I got work to do." she said.
"It's okay just go out there and do what you love to do." he said with a smile.
"Hai!" she replied before she and Kanae ran out from the room leaving the blonde alone.
Chizuru sighed in frustration, "Why can't I get things done today!?" he asked to himself.
"About what?" a older voice asked.
The blonde turns around and saw an older man behind him. The man has a darkish-gray hair with pitch black eyes behind a gray rim glasses. He wears a brown suit over a white shirt with dark-red necktie, brown pants and black shoes. This is Nozomu Natsume.
"It's been a while Mr. Tachibana." Nozomu greeted with a stern face.
"Oh...hey there Mr. Natsume...uhh...lovely day isn't it?" he greeted back with a nervous smile as he try to shift his eyes away from the older man's gaze.
The older man kept staring at him for a whole minute before speaking, "No, it isn't." he said as he walks towards a brownish-red desk and sat down, "So...what brings you here?" he asked.
Chizuru took a deep breath, calming himself down, "My friend Shinozaki ask me to get the pictures he ask you to develop, he can't come due to foot injury so I came here in his stead." he answered.
"Photos?"
"You mean this?" a voice called out.
The two turned their heads at the right side of the room and a saw another elder man standing there with a brown envelope on his hands. The man was probably in his late 20s and has a black messy hair and a goatee. He wears a white polo with suspenders, black slacks and black shoes. This is Tatsumi Saiga.
"I was expecting Shinozaki today though if what I heard is right, did he injured his foot?" he asked as he place the envelope on Nozomu's desk.
"Yes, an anvil fell out of nowhere and got his foot crushed." Chizuru replied with half-lidded eyes.
Tatsumi raised an eyebrow before nodding, "I see...I guess asking you to get this was the right choice." he said as he slids the envelope near the blonde.
Chizuru gave him a deadpan look, "The way you're giving me the pictures is like your handing me drug money in secret." he commented.
Tatsumi snorted, "You humor me kid, just take it." he said.
Not wanting to stay around and get a stern look from the older man the blonde took the envelope, "Thank you." he said before leaving the room.
The two adults are silent for a minute when Tatsumi spoke, "I feel that you don't like that boy from the way you stare at him, can I ask!?" he commented.
Nozomu sighed, "I don't dislike the boy, it's just that I'm still confused why would the headmaster and higher-ups has their eyes set on that boy, now don't get me wrong, the boy has great potential but I'm worried that Mr. Tachibana is not ready yet for whatever plans the higher-ups had for him." he explained.
"I understand you but I think everything will be fine, the headmaster and the higher-ups knows what they're doing, we just need to put our trust on them and someday to that boy." Tatsumi said.
Nozomu once again sighed.
Back to Chizuru.
"Why do I get the feeling the Mr. Natsume is scrutinizing my whole existence from that stern look he gave me...uhh...I really need get back in the arena before..." he ranted but was got interrupted when someone called him.
"Tachibana-san!"
The blonde flinched, "...someone sees me." he finished his sentence as he slowly turns around and saw a tall young girl.
The young girl has a long purple hair tied in ponytail which splits in two and has dark-blue eyes. She wears a white blazer with blue necktie, white skirt, white high-knee socks and brown boots. This is Houki Shinonono.
Houki stares at the blonde with a stern look while her arms crossed.
"Hey...Houki...been a while..." Chizuru greeted nervously.
And Houki gave him a glare as an answer making him swallow a large amount of saliva to his throat.
Houki stomped her way towards him, "Where have you been all this time!? You've been missing kendo class for weeks!?" she said with anger and disappointment in her voice.
"I...I'm sorry Houki but you see I'm kinda uhh busy with delivery service..." Chizuru lied hoping that she would believe that.
But Houki didn't buy it, "I know you had delivery work but that is not an excuse for not attending the kendo club!" she rebutted.
"sorry...it's just..." he tried to explain but got interrupted again.
"Chizuru, you shouldn't neglect on your training! Sensei and the others has high expectations on you heck I even heard a rumour that the school is backing you up, so you cannot slack off when you had people wanting you to succeed!" she preached.
"I-I know that...it's just...it's just I don't think I can..." the blonde replied solemnly.
"That what's training for..."
"NO YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!"
Houki was taken a back at Chizuru's response as she stares the blonde whom is breathing heavily with a pain look on his face.
"I...appreciate the support I get from Sensei and the others but...I just can't...I can't when the whole student body hating me because of it!" he said, "Ever since the rumours about me getting a big role for the organization spread out people began to give me the cold shoulder because in their eyes I don't deserve it! They say I'm a wimp, they say I can't fight! No matter hard I try I just couldn't get everyone to accept me! I'm lucky that I still had friends backing me up but the hate I get because of it is just so unbearable!" he cried.
Houki was silent as she listens to the blonde along with a few students whom happened to stop when they heard his outcry.
Chizuru took a deep breath to calm himself down, "So...I thought to myself...maybe I should stop training...so the school would lose interest to me and had everyone stop hating me...because if you think about...that would for the best..." he said sadly. The blonde was silent for a minute before he took out the envelope and handed it to a nearby student, "Hey...could you do me a favor and give this to a guy named Shinozaki in the arena room and if he ask where I am tell him I got something urgent to do." he said.
The student whom turns out to be Yomi took the envelope, "Umm...okay..." she said.
Chizuru smiled, "Thanks." he said before turning to Houki, "Well...it's nice seeing you Houki but I got to go." he said before he started to run away.
Houki stood there in silent trying to comprehend what he just said while Yomi began to walk away.
-BREAK-
Back in the arena, everyone are cheering wildly as Natsu and Luffy continues to fight. Fuu and Kanae are there and are busy taking photos of the fight, Aria was there as well watching while keeping an eye out for a certain blonde.
"Potte-buchou! Did you got good a shot?" Kanae asked the smaller girl.
Fuu smiled, "I think most of it." she answered.
Meanwhile back with the boys, Kenji has a face of disbelief.
"I can't believe that the two are still fighting...FOR THE 30TH ROUND!" he yelled.
"That only proves how tough they are." Oohori commented.
"I'll say." Yuuki said.
Then Yomi approaches the boys, "Umm..." she said earning their attention, "...which of you is Shinozaki?" she asked.
"That would be me." the glasses boy answered and Yomi gave him the envelope, "What this?" he asked as he look at it's contents, "Wait...this are the photos I had ask Chizuru to get!" he exclaimed as he looks back at Yomi, "How did you get this?" he asked in confusion.
"Your friend told me to give it you as he said that he had something urgent to do." Yomi answered.
"Is that so, well then, thank you." he said as Yomi bowed before leaving them as Shinozaki turns to Oohori, "What do you think of that urgent thing that Chizuru needs to do?" he asked.
"I don't know probably it's related to his delivery work." the bald boy replied.
"He better not getting a call from his boss saying that his slacking off from work." Kenji groaned.
The two laughed at his remark while Yuuki remained silent with worry written in his stoic face.
-BREAK-
Somewhere in the building black, we go to a dojo with several students wearing a white gii and black hakama pants sitting on the wooden floor seiza-style with a man in front of them.
The man is seems to be in his early 20s. He has a mid-back length red hair tied in a thick ponytail and has blue eyes. He also had a cross-shaped scar on his left cheek. He also wears a white gii and black hakama pants. This is Kenshin Himura.
"Students." Kenshin said gaining everyone's attention, "I am about to apply some new rules for this class. First we can only use a standard kendo stick, second we can only wear the standard gii or uniform and lastly it is strictly prohibited to put warpaint on the face." he listed.
The last part was directed at two students with one's face painted like Yoda from Star Wars and the other one painted like Darth Maul also from Star Wars.
"Bummer." 'Yoda' said as he and 'Darth Maul' left the room to wash the paint off their faces.
Kenshin sighed, "All right, let's begin class." he said.
And with that, each student began to pair up. A young man with green hair and has a scar running down his left eye was looking for a sparring partner when a voice called him.
"Zoro-senpai!"
The young man named Zoro Roronoa turns to a young girl. The girl has a long dark-green hair tied in a ponytail and has light-blue eyes. This is Wakaba Saegusa.
"Please train with me!" Wakaba asked in anticipation and the excitement is clearly written on her face thanks to that zigzag smile she had. Ever since she saw his swords skills, she can't help herself but admire him, she even ask him to train her which he doesn't mind.
Zoro sighed before smiling, "Yare...yare...all right." he replied as he grabs a kendo stick.
Wakaba smiled brighter, "Thank you!" she said with a bow.
As the two took a fighting stance, Kenshin watches them from a far with a smile on his face then he noticed Houki, now wearing a white gii & black hakama pants, walking in.
"Shinonono-san, you came in late." Kenshin said then she noticed her solemn expression, "Is there something wrong?" he asked.
Houki looks at him as she hesitates to answer, "I-I-I...I met Chizuru-san earlier today." she answered.
The redhead samurai's eyes widen in surprise, "Is that so? Tell me what happened." he asked.
Houki took a deep breath as she began to explain that transpires during her encounter with the blue eyed blonde.
"I-I thought he was slacking off but I got no idea that he's deeply troubled, I feel so bad for him." she said with her head down.
Kenshin sighed as he puts a hand on her shoulder, "I know that you want the best for our club and everyone but sometimes you have to think before you act, though I cannot blame you since you don't know how emotionally troubled young Chizuru is, that is why I told him to take a break from club." he explained.
Houki head shot up, "W-wait...you told him to take a break!?" she said in shock.
The redhead nodded, "I noticed that he is stressed and beginning to lose his confidence during the start of school, so I had him take a break. He was doing good during those times and he would sometimes meet me and tells me he has slowly regaining his confidence after talking to his friend but once again his confidence was shot down when the rumors about him getting a big role for the organization spread out and the hatred he gets from other students dwindled it further." he explained before taking a deep breath, "As of now, I'm beginning to think that taking a break isn't enough to help him." he said.
Houki looks at him a worried look, "But...if this keeps up, he may end up quitting everything that he work hard for!" she stated.
"I know..." Kenshin said solemnly, "...but the only thing we could do is to wait...and hope that there is someone that could give him the push that he needed to move forward." he said as he looks out the dojo's window.
-BREAK-
Outside the academy, we see Chizuru once again sitting on the edge of the cliff staring at the town and the vast mountain.
"Getting a big role huh? If getting a big role would end of me getting hated by everyone then I rather be an npc or a village boy! Yeah at least their roles don't get hated!" he ranted.
As the blonde continues to rant about the hate that he gets, he is once again had no idea that his life is in danger. On the top of a building we see Aria holding up a gun pointing it at the back of Chizuru's head.
Aria had a sadistic smirk, "Sweet dreams, you wimp." she said but before she pull the trigger her gun mysteriously vanished from her hands, "What the!?" she said in shock, "Where's my gun!? Where's-" her question was cut off when someone hits the back of her neck knocking her out.
As Aria fell on the floor unconscious, the person who knocks her out reveals to be Homura with Aria's gun in her hands. She then turns to the blonde with a face she and the readers never thought she would make...
...a worried face.
A/N: Done at last! That was a very long chapter I wrote!
