A/N: And here we are! We're back with a new chapter of AWA Stories! This chapter will be focusing on our favorite blue eyed blonde as he journeys towards the next chapter of his life even if he don't want to.
Disclaimer: I don't own any characters in this chapter.
-Normal Earth-
Hachioji, Tokyo, Japan
It was a great day, a first great day for many youngsters to attend their respective Alma Maters, members of the AWA are no exception. Luckily enough, time flows differently between Normal Earth and ZeroTopia, which plays really conveniently for AWA students that are still attending regular schools or Universities.
But not everyone are happy... just like a certain half-Japanese, half-German, blue eyed blonde mumbling and grumbling his way towards an urban University that he's going to attend. Along with his best friend, Yuuki Asaba, Chizuru Tachibana is now a college student, whether he likes it or not.
Chizuru let's out a loud groan, "I can't believe I'm doing this!" he exclaimed. He is currently wearing his trademark white hoodie jacket, black pants and red sneakers with a black bag strapped around his shoulders.
"Quit you're whining Chizuru or else you'll get another earful from everyone." Yuuki replied. Yuuki is currently wearing a red checkered polo shirt over a black tank top, blue cargo pants and brown shoes.
Chizuru sighed, "Hai... hai..." he replied.
"And also make sure to join a club.'' Yuuki mentioned, "I heard that each students are recommended to join a club in this university." he stated.
"What club are you joining?'' Chizuru asked.
"The Manga Club what else.'' Yuuki replied making the blonde nod.
The two friends arrived at Shiiou University before making their way towards a large crowd of students, on each sides, they saw numerous students advertising their respective clubs, from sports to music to the absolute weirdest, each of them are working hard to gain new members... and Chizuru could even care less as long as he gets to join one. On their way, several club advertisers would hand them flyers but the names of their clubs are more than likely.
"Laughing Head Monster Club? The Sausage Party Club? The Nose Picking Club? Jesus Christ! What kind of University is this?" Chizuru asked in disbelief while holding some flyers, "How could they allowed such clubs in this place?!" he demanded.
Yuuki grabs and throws the flyer inside a trash can, "Beats me... the Walking Home Club is barely understandable but those that you mentioned, I don't even know what to start.'' he said.
"At this rate, I won't find any nice club for me to join!" Chizuru exclaimed in frustration.
"Let's keep on looking." Yuuki reassured.
As the two friends continues to look around, when one club captures the blonde's attention. A busty girl wearing some sort of costume is seen holding a sign the says "The Society for the Study of Modern Visual Culture", he then noticed a blonde girl wearing a very revealing cowboy outfit but what really caught his attention was the girl drawing on a whiteboard using a black marker, the girl was drawing some sort of anime character and Chizuru can't help but admire her skills in drawing, he's not alone though, a lot of students would stop walking just to watch her draw. Yuuki then turns to the mesmerized Chizuru, the lone wolf let's out a smile.
When the girl finished drawing, Chizuru can't help but let out a grin, "I like this..." he claimed, "Where do I sign up?" he asked.
(Play Pray by Tommy heavenly6)
The music began with a female voice singing "nanana" as the AWA Stories titled card zooms in from the screen before exploding into a bright light.
Let's go out! Open up my mind
Let's go! Sweet Dream other side
The screen then changes to Chizuru Tachibana riding his delivery moving forward, behind him was Oohori riding a skateboard and Madoka Kaname riding a large tiger-like creature, the trio then jumps down on the camera shifted from below with Madoka letting out a smile.
Ima Tokihanatsu Kago no Soto e
Sabitsuita Kagi Nariyamanu Kodou
The scene then transitions to with Chizuru with his back turn before turning around to the camera with a can of beer in hand. The next scene changes of Oohori carving on a wood inside a wood shop. Then the scene then shifted to Madoka's room with the said girl sitting on her bed reading a book.
Kizuiteta "Mou... Modorenai"
The scene changes to Nanoha Takamachi, Yoshika Miyafuji and Homura Akemi looking at the trio with stern looks which cause the trio to break into a mad dash.
Ushinawareta Hibi ga (Hey Baby why?)
Aoku Tsunagetteku (I want to cry...)
The scene then changes with Chizuru standing in a desolated area with no signs of life.
Kowagaru Jibun ni Maketakunai yo
Unmei Kara Nigenai "Hitori Janai"
Then suddenly several Eggbears, Lizardmen and Unmanned IS charges at him, Chizuru brought out his blade and charges back, he began to slash his way, killing every creatures he comes across before letting out a roar.
Soba ni Iru Tatoe Donna ni
Kanashii Yume da Toshitemo Kamawanai
The scene then changes of Chizuru waking up to see that he's lying down on a grass with numerous beautiful Sakura Trees in the background. Right next to him, we see Madoka reading her book and at the top of the hill is Oohori taking pictures of the scenery. To his left, he sees Yoshika sitting on a grass giving him a blissful smile, next to her was Homura bringing out her gun only to be confiscated by Nanoha and on top of the hill is Eddy looking at the scenery in awe. Chizuru let's out a smile before looking up at the sky.
Kimi no Namida ni Furetai yo... baby
I pray "Shinjite"
The scene then changes to Kenji Kazama, Yuuki Asaba, Mato Kuroi, Gingka Hagane and Shinozaki standing on a rocky area with their bodies illuminated by the light of the sunset, most notable is Gingka lying down on a debris taking a nap and Shinozaki swinging his flyswatter. The scene then changes to Kaede Nagase throwing shurikens at the screen before shifting to Red while holding a PokeBall when Charizard pops out from behind him with a thumbs-up.
Tsumetai Kioku no Yami Kirisaite
The scene then changes with Chizuru on a rooftop looking at the AWA Academy from a distance, the female voice the began singing "nanana" once more as the camera pans in front of Chizuru showing a serious expression, then suddenly the large tiger-like creature pops out from behind and took a bite of his noggin, blood slowly flows down on Chizuru's face while keeping his stoic look as the song ended.
-BREAK-
Later, after five hours of class, Chizuru is now making his way towards the club room of the Society for the Study of Modern Visual Culture or Genshiken while Yuuki made his way towards the Manga Club. Believe it or not, Chizuru is quite knowledgeable with Animes, Mangas and Video Games thanks to Shinozaki and Konata Izumi and of course, his best friend Yuuki. And since the other clubs pretty much turns him off, these club he's headed is much suited for him.
He walks through a narrowed and a bit cramped hallway, it was dim-litted which makes it hard to walk around but the blonde doesn't mind at all. He then arrives at the front door of the club he's joining, he took a deep breath before knocking, which he something he rarely do.
"Hai~ Come in!" a cheery female voice called.
Chizuru enters the room and is greeted by six individuals, five girls and one male to be exact. The room was big enough for ten persons, bookshelves filled with books, magazines and other materials are seen on each sides, another shelf had numerous anime figurines on display, many posters are posted on the walls and window, by the window is table with a TV and DVD player placed at the end and long table in the middle.
The first girl was the well-endowed girl wearing a costume. She had a long black hair that reached her backside with dark eyes and luscious mole below her mouth. She is currently wearing a sleeveless white turtleneck shirt, blue denim skirt and black boots. This is Kanako Ohno.
The second girl was the blonde in a revealing cowboy outfit. The girl was short with long blonde hair and blue deadpan eyes, she is currently wearing a short pink cardigan over a white dress and black shoes. This is Susanna Hopkins or Sue.
The third girl was the one he saw drawing. She had a short black hair and darkish purple eyes, she is currently wearing a brown polo shirt with white collar and sleeves, green pants and brown shoes. This is Chika Ogiue.
The next girls were unfamiliar to him. The fourth girl had a long black hair tied in a ponytail with brown eyes behind a red colored, half-moon glasses. She is currently wearing an orange(Naruto approved!) dress shirt, black frilly skirt, dark tights and boots. This is Rika Yoshitake.
The fifth girl was stocky and overweight. She had a short brown hair with dark eyes and wears glasses, and had a grimaced facial expression. She is currently wearing a blue polo shirt, blue pants and brown shoes. This is Mirei Yajima.
The only male of the group is tall and very slim. He had a short black haircut with dark eyes, long oblong-shaped face and pursed lips. He is currently wearing a green poloshirt, black pants and red & white shoes. This is Manabu Kuchiki.
"Ah! Welcome, I'm Chika Ogiue, the current chairman of this club." Chika introduced herself, "Are you here to look around the club?" she asked.
"Nope! I'm came to here to join." Chizuru replied with a grin.
"Really? Just like that." Chika stated in surprise earning a nod from the blonde.
"This is great, Oguie-san! We got a new member and he's quite a looker too." Kanako cheered.
"I don't know what to say about that." Chizuru said nervously.
Chizuru then introduced himself as the rest did the same. He then proceeds to have a conversation with them, it turns out that Rika and Mirei are both new members of this club with him being the latest.
"Ne, ne, Chi-kun! Are you an American like Sue?" Rika asked while referring to the blonde girl whom is watching an anime intensely from one corner.
"Actually no... I'm a half-Japanese and half-German." Chizuru replied, "And why are you calling me, Chi-kun?" he thought.
"Sugoi! Our club is becoming more international with members like him and Sue!" Kanako said excitedly before staring intensely at the male blonde, "Hmm... I think you look good in a costume." she exclaimed.
Chizuru looks at her nervously, "T-thanks... but I'm not into cosplay..." he replied.
"So, how long have you been in Japan?" Mirei asked with her arms crossed.
"I came here in my second year of high school. Been here ever since." Chizuru replied, "By the way, Oguie-senpai, I must say that was a cool drawing you did back there, I was quite inspired." he said.
Chika began to rub her head sheepishly, "I-It's not really that special but thank you very much." she replied, "At least, he got attracted to my drawing differently." she thought.
Chizuru then turns to Manabu, whom is giggling like a maniac in one corner.
"Oi! What's up with stretch?" Chizuru asked jabbing his thumb at Manabu.
Chika groaned, "Just ignore him." she replied.
Chizuru stares at Manabu for a minute before shrugging his shoulder, then came another knock followed by the door opening where a girl peeks her head in. She had a long caramel-brown hair and brown eyes, she is currently wearing a pink cardigan over a white long dress shirt and heels.
"Um... m-may I come in for a while?" she asked. Manabu gasped in shock upon setting sights on her.
"O-of course! Come in!" Chika replied.
Kanako then offered her a seat, "Have a seat." she said as the girl politely took it.
"What's your name?" Chika asked.
"Um, Hato." the girl replied.
Chizuru then turns his attention to Manabu, whom is now shivering in one corner, "The hell is wrong with this freak? Jesus Christ! If Kenji was here, he would slug his face already." he thought.
Then Rika spoke, "Hey, can I ask a question everybody?" she asked earning everyone's attention, "How many girls here could be considered "rotten"? Does that sort of topic bother you? If it does, I won't bring it up." she stated.
"Rotten? You mean girls that likes yaoi." Chizuru exclaimed, "I had many female friends that are into that stuff, so it doesn't really bother me." he replied, "With Haruka as the usual suspect." he thought.
"I'm fine with it." Kanako followed.
"I'm all right. I mean, I like it." Hato shyly replied.
"Are you serious?" both Chizuru and Chika thought at the same time.
"Great, Hato-chan! So while I'm introducing myself, why don't I hand out some of my favorite BL doujinshi." Rika said bringing out some doujinshis from her bag.
"Do you carry those everywhere?" Mirei asked indecorously.
"I happened to have some today. I hope you don't mind which character's on top." Rika stated.
"If we do, are you going to quit?" Mirei asked rhetorically.
"Don't worry!" Kanako quipped, "I'm okay with almost any pairing." she said.
As this is going on, Chika looks troubled from the conversation while Chizuru let's out a smile.
"I knew it I fit perfectly in this club, though most of them are fujoshis, I don't mind. I wonder how will the gang reacts to this." Chizuru thought when noticed the excited look on Hato's face.
"Can I see them two?" Hato asked.
"Here you go." Rika replied handing her a doujinshi.
As Hato leans forward, Chizuru noticed Manabu reaching out for her hair, the moment Manabu grabs a single strand of her hair he quickly pulls it as the entire hair began to slip of her head revealing it to be a wig. Everyone caught sight of this and they we're shock, Hato then noticed her wig is falling so she quickly grabs it and puts it back together in panic.
"Holy!" Chizuru almost cursed in shock.
"Is that a wig?" Rika asked.
"Umm... I..." Hato then spoke in a male voice, "I mean, I..." Hato quickly changes it to a feminine voice.
"A... cross-dresser?" Rika pointed out.
After fixing her hair, Hato looks down in shame as everyone remained in silence, probably still in shock. Chizuru wanted to break the awkward silence but chose not to. Suddenly, Kanako stood up and made her way towards Hato whom is shivering in fear and panic, Kanako then began to inspect on the every aspect of Hato's body.
"I see!" Kanako started, "The dedication to shaving! The loose-fitting clothes that hide his figure! The natural makeup! And the vocal practice to sound like a girl! My extensive training allows me to be sure of this! He did everything he had to before coming here! Just so he can talk with us!" she stated.
Chizuru stares at her like she had grown another head before turning to Chika, "Does anyone had an idea of what she just said?!" he asked indecorously.
Chika groaned, "I had no idea either." she replied.
Kanako turns to Hating with a smile, "Welcome to Genshiken, Hato-kun!" she greeted, "May know you're full name?" she asked.
Hato smiled back, "Hato Kenjirou." he/she replied.
Kanako suddenly grabs his/her by the shoulder, "I've got the perfect costume for you." she exclaimed creepily.
"Um, I don't really do that." Hato replied nervously.
As this is going on, Chizuru let's out a chuckle while Chika sighed in frustration. Sue, who was been quiet all this time placed a hand on her shoulder, Chizuru thought at first that she's just comforting Chika until she spoke that is.
"OGUIE HATES OTAKU!" Sue shouted making Chika gasped and blushed, "SHE ESPECIALLY HATES OTAKU WOMEN!" she added.
"KYAAA!" Chika screamed in panic as she began to berate the blonde girl.
Chizuru, Risa and Mirei watches them in awe and bewilderment.
"This circle is a lot crazier than I anticipated." Mirei admitted.
"I guess university circles are like that." Rika replied.
"And I don't mind at all... I don't mind at all." Chizuru said with a grin.
"Aaaahhhh!" Chika shrieked, "How did you know!?" she demanded.
Meanwhile, in another University, we see Yui Hirasawa plugging her guitar on an amp, she then slowly looks up at the giant stereo in front of her, she let out a smug smile before strumming her guitar, which resulted with a powerful blast of sound that shatters every windows at her University.
Later that day, Kanako decided to hold a welcoming party for the new members. She even invited the former members of the circle and right now, two of them arrived, two males to be exact.
The first male had a short brown hair tied in a ponytail with short bangs, he had a stubbled and relaxed face. He is currently wearing a dark-green coat over a black shirt with white collar, brown baggy pants and black shoes. This is Souichirou Tanaka, Kanako's boyfriend.
The second male was tall guy with broad shoulders and a frail looking physique, Dr. Shamal will have a field day if she saw his appearance, Chizuru thought. He had a mid-length dark brown hair with a split bangs and wears round glasses covering his shallow eyes, he is currently wearing a dark gray jacket over a black shirt, dark baggy pants and sneakers. This Harunobu Madarame.
Currently, Kanako is having Harunobu guess which new member is a boy and boy, he's thinking deeply. Chizuru eventually gets along with Tanaka because of his relaxed personality which reminds him a bit of his friend, Yuuta Asaba.
"Okay! Time is up!" Kanako announced. She is currently wearing a brown jacket over her attire.
"Argh!" Harunobu grunted.
"Madarame, you're overthinking it!" Kanako stated.
"But I just don't know!" Harunobu argued, "Is one of them really a guy?" he asked.
"That's right.'' Tanaka replied with a smile.
"Oh well... we'll try it one more time at the end of the party." Kanako announced, "Please observe them veeeery closely.'' she added.
Harunobu grunted, "Eagh! Give me a break! I'm terrible at this sort of thing!" he admitted before glancing back at the new members, "Agh, I definitely can't tell at all!" he exclaimed.
"He's actually kind of moe, isn't he.'' Rika commented. She is wearing a white collared jacket.
"He's obviously a bottom.'' Mirei said back.
"Oi! Isn't that a bit to harsh?!" Chizuru exclaimed.
"Sorry... that's the first thing that came in my mind.'' Mirei replied.
Harunobu then approaches Chika, "No one from Sasahara's year came...'' he said.
"Kugayama has work.'' Tanaka replied.
"Sorry... I just thought that it would be better to have more guys." Chika explained, she is now wearing a short brown jacket, Behind her is Sue, wearing a blue hoodie jacket.
"Not that I don't mind but isn't Tachibana enough?" Tanaka asked.
"Hai... but for some reason, Kuchiki-senpai got into Tachibana's nerves, so I invited you guys so Tachibana could at least get along with someone.'' Chika explained.
"I get ya.'' Harunobu replied.
"So then let's GO to Chairman Oguie's place!" Kanako exclaimed excitedly.
"Hah!?" Chika exclaimed in shock, "Why my place? I thought we're going to some karaoke bars or some cafes!" she argued.
"Well I think it'll be more fun this way.'' Kanako replied cheerfully.
"This is... it's way too sudden and..." Chika tried to argue, "Ah forget it!" she gave up.
Chizuru chuckled, "I guess being chairman of a club sucks sometimes.'' he commented.
Harunobu chuckled, "Hehehe... you can say that again.'' he said.
Chika turns to them, "I heard you two!" she yelled in annoyance.
-BREAK-
"Hi, nice to meet you. I'm Sasahara." a young man introduced himself. He had black hair and dark eyes. He is currently wearing a dark-blue poloshirt, dark pants and white socks. This is Kanji Sasahara, Chika's boyfriend. "I bought these on the way here." Kanji said bringing out a bag of snacks.
Everyone are gathered around Chika's home in her living room with many snacks on a small but wide table, Chizuru is sitting on the floor right next to Harunobu while the bummed Chika sat near her work desk.
"Kyaa!" Rika squealed, "The editor is here!" she said.
Later, Kanji is now guessing which between, Hato, Risa and Mirei are the guy and judging by the puzzled look on his face, he can't figure it out.
"So that's her boyfriend... he's kinda plain-looking but who am I to judge why Oguie-senpai is dating him." Chizuru thought as he took a sip of his beer.
"I'm surprised that you drink beer, Tachibana.'' Chika commented.
"A habit I picked up after graduating high school... been drinking ever since.'' Chizuru replied placing his beer down his lap.
"How old are you anyway?" Chika asked in curiosity.
"Nineteen.'' Chizuru replied.
"I see... you're close to the legal age for drinking." Chika stated when she heard the doorbell, she got up and made her way towards her front door, she then came back with two more persons, one boy and one girl to be exact.
The girl was quite tall and had a mid-length, dyed light-brown hair and dark eyes. She is currently wearing a brown blazer jacket over a white blouse, red skirt, black pantyhose. This Saki Kasukabe.
The boy had a blonde mid-length hair and dark eyes. He is currently wearing a white hoodie jacket, black pants and white socks. This is Makoto Kousaka, Saki's boyfriend.
"Yikes... what is this, you're all female otaku this year." Saki commented with a nervous grin.
"Good evening." Makoto greeted with a smile.
"Do I look like a female to her!?'' Chizuru pointed out indecorously before noticing Harunobu gasping at her arrival, "What's wrong with him?'' he thought.
"Thanks for coming, you two." Kanako greeted cheerfully.
"Female otaku and fujiuoshis are completely different types!" Rika exclaimed with hands up.
"Hm? Sorry... I don't get it...'' Saki replied in confusion when she noticed something, "Hmm?'' she hummed before pointing at Hato, "Aren't you a boy in a girl's clothings?!" she pointed out surprising everyone.
"Wow!" Kanako exclaimed in awe.
"In instant." Tanaka stated.
"She can't tell difference between an otaku and fujioshi yet she figured out that Hato is a boy in just one look." Chizuru stated in awe.
"Well... she works as an entrepreneur of a fashion line, so I guess it's not really much of a surprise.'' Kanji stated.
"That's Saki for you!" Kanako exclaimed, "We were having a guessing game just now of which of them are a guy. Madarame couldn't even figure it out.'' she stated.
"Huh?" Saki replied before taking a seat next to Harunobu, "You're the same as ever. Still an anime lover." she said with a smile.
Harunobu turns to her with a slightly red face, "Hehehe... I got nothing to say in return.'' he replied with a humble chuckle.
Chizuru watches their interactions with interest. "I see... Madarame-senpai had a thing for Kasukabe-senpai... interesting... really interesting." he thought before taking another sip of his beer, "I hate to admit it but I think attending college ain't bad at all...I still hate studying though." he added.
In a high school called Fujou High, we see students walking in the hallways when suddenly Kenji Kazama, Oohori and Shinozaki came out running from one corner in fear and panic followed by an angry Roka Shibasaki with a BB Pellet Gun in her hand which began to shoot at the boys.
The next day after a tiring day in class, we see Chizuru whom is currently wearing a black hoodie jacket over a blue & white striped shirt, a brown baggy short and blue rubber shoes. He is currently making his way towards his club room.
"I may have join this club but I wonder what I should do... if it involves drawing then I must step up my game." Chizuru mused.
As he walks through the alley-like hallways he comes across Chika in front of the male and female restroom.
"Oguie-senpai! What's up!" Chizuru greeted.
"Ah, Tachibana-san.'' Chika greeted back. She is currently wearing a pink shirt over a blue long sleeved shirt, beige short pants and re & white sneakers.
"Please just call me, Chizuru. I'm not one for honorifics.'' Chizuru replied, "So where are you heading?'' he asked.
"I want to clear my mind a bit, being a chairman is no easy task.'' Chika replied.
"Not yet used with us?" Chizuru asked.
Chika sighed, "Not exactly... I've gotten used to you guys a bit... but maybe I'm still not there yet...'' she replied.
"Well... what's exact your opinion with us?" Chizuru asked.
Chika thought about it, "Yoshitake-san is very carefree, unlike Kuchiki-senpai, it seems that she's socially inept. Yajima-san is a bit stubborn I guess? But she's way more calm than me. Sue is an exception to everything." she explained before looking at Chizuru, "You, on the other hand, is quite an enigma to me.'' she admitted.
"Well... what kind of personality you think I have?" Chizuru asked with an amused smile.
"Hmm... if I must say, you're cheerful yet a calm person with a bit a temperamental issues." Chika answered.
Chizuru chuckled, Well... you're not wrong about the cheerful and temperamental but I'm not a calm person." he replied.
"Really?"
Chizuru nodded, "Believe it or not, I'm like Yoshitake-san and Kuchiki-senpai combined, I'm still trying to get use attending in this university before I let out my true personality. But don't worry, my friends do call me a bundle of annoyance but I'm no where near as annoying as Kuchiki-senpai.'' he explained.
"I see..." Chika sighed, "Well I do get along with you fine so I guess you're true personality won't be an issue with me." she stated, "All that's left is Hato... there sure is a lot I have left to understand...'' she said.
Speak of devil, Hato just came out from the... girl's restroom. Hato is currently wearing a light brown jacket over a white blouse and a flowery scarf around his/her neck, brown skirt, beige stockings and white sneakers. Both Chizuru and Chika we're slightly surprised his/her appearance but so does Hato.
"... ah... hello, Hato-kun... er? Eh?'' Chika greeted in confusion at the nervous Hato, "But... you just called a minute ago that you're changing at home...'' she stated.
"Really?'' Chizuru asked before looking at the sign of the female restroom, then to the red bag Hato is carrying and then to the teary eyed Hato, "Hato... please tell me... for the love of God... please tell you didn't..." he said nervously as tears began to fall from Hato's eyes.
And with that, Hato ran away much to the shock of the two.
"Oh no!" Chika thought, "Hato! Wait up!" she called as she ran after the crossdresser followed by Chizuru but to her surprise, Hato runs really fast, "Hato's fast!" she thought.
"Hato come back! I didn't mean to offend you!" Chizuru called out as he ran past Chika.
"Tachibana is fast too!" Chika thought in surprise, "But that's good! If we don't catch Hato now, Hato might stop crossdressing and never come to Genshiken again!" she thought as they got out on the main square where she noticed a familiar face.
It was Manabu, whom is currently wearing a green poloshirt, blue pants and red sneakers, is walking among the crowd like a deadbeat drunk.
"Nyo!" Manabu exclaimed upon setting sights on Hato.
"Kuchiki-senpai! Please sto- AH!" Chika told him but she realized something.
"Why do you have to order him of all people?!" Chizuru yelled in disbelief.
Manabu's right left eye twinkled and let's out a creepy smile before leaping towards Hato, about to do whatever he was about to do to his/her, however the moment he got close, Hato by reflex grabs his collar and right arm before flipping him up and slamming him hard down the concrete, knocking him out.
This both surprised Chika and Chizuru, as well as Hato his/herself.
"Ahh!" Hato gasped realizing what he/she had done.
"Woah... that was sick...'' Chizuru said in awe.
Hato quickly got into her/his knees, "Aaah! I'm sorry Kuchiki-senpai!" Hato cried in panic, "I did judo in middle school! I was a total reflex!" she explained holding his head.
"Nyooooo~" Manabu replied while wiggling his body.
"Well... that escalated quickly." Chizuru commented.
Chika let's out a sigh, "I guess..." she replied.
-BREAK-
Later, everyone are gathered around the club room with everyone's attention at Hato whom is sitting on a chair looking down in shame while Manabu had his head down on the table.
"Eeeehh... time for the first...'' Sue started, she's currently wearing a pink one piece dress, blue sandals and helmet with goggles on her head, "... "Hato-chan that is a crime meeting!" she announced much to the rest's bewilderment.
"Ah... no...'' Kanako said, "But is it true, Hato-kun?" she asked. She is currently wearing a blue jacket over a white overall dress with brown belt and sneakers.
"H-hai..." Hato meekly replied.
"Even under normal circumstances, changing in the restroom is against the rules of a cosplayer!" Kanako chastised.
"That's what you're worried about!?'' Mirei, Rika and Chizuru thought at the same time. Mirei is currently wearing a dark-blue poloshirt, black pants and red shoes while Rika is currently wearing blue & white jakcet over a white blouse, blue skirt, black pantyhose and white heels.
"Even if it's the girl's restroom, you could have the police called on you.'' Kanako said.
"That I can agree with.'' Chizuru quipped.
"I know... but I figured that if it was the girl's restroom, I just need to be careful when I entered. If I was seen leaving the boy's restroom, I wouldn't be able to tell who was coming in...'' Hato explained.
"That's not the problem here.'' Chika said.
"Why can't you change at home?" Kanako asked.
"I tried at first... but it's 30 minutes each way, for a total of one hour... then adding the time of putting on makeup and clothes, I wouldn't get here in time." Hato explained.
"Hato got a point." Chizuru pointed out.
"Then just change in here! We can wait outside for a little if it's necessary." Rika suggested.
"Of course! Sue always cosplay here." Kanako agreed.
Hato gave a not-so-comfort expression, "I... I want to try... but I just don't want you to see me as a man that much..." he/she replied.
"If it makes you feel better, I always thought of you as a girl...'' Chizuru said earning him looks from everyone, "... what? Don't give me that kind of look.'' he said in annoyance.
Then Mirei spoke, "Well... how about dressing as male from now on?" she suggested, "You keep insisting that cross-dressing like this is what causing this problem." she said with her arms crossed, "We're still not sure about this whole "fudanshi" thing. Don't you think it'd be easier for both sides if we started getting used to that. And then think about what happens next?'' she explained.
Hato stares at her when Manabu arms shot out and pointed his finger at Mirei, "You don't understand at all..." he exclaimed.
Hato turns to him, "Kuchiki-senpai...'' he/she said.
Manabu turns to them with dark glare, "You can't accept the miracle in front of you. Allow me to teach you the truth, you fool." he claimed making Mirei grimaced a bit, "Listen up! There's no way a girl this cute-" he tried to say but was interrupted by Chika.
"Could possibly a real girl." Chika stated, "Please don't say that.'' she said bluntly.
Manabu gasped in shock while everyone stares at him in bewilderment.
Manabu slams his head back down on the table, "... I could have died peacefully if I said it..." he sulked.
"Go ahead then! Hurry and go to the afterlife!" Chika retorted.
"Nice burn senpai!" Chizuru said with a thumbs-up.
"So what should we do, Oguie-san?" Kanako asked, "I guess changing at home is best option...'' she said as Chika got into thinking.
"Is there any other place you guys know where Hato can change?" Chizuru asked.
Suddenly, Sue who was silent for the entire time spoke up, "There's a place to change." she declared.
Everyone turn to her, Sue quickly shuts close the book she's reading before turning to Hato, "Wanna see, Hato?'' she offered.
"H-hai...'' Hato replied.
In a open basketball court, we see Mato Kuroi practicing shooting balls when suddenly Tetsuya Kuroko walks past her, Mato looks around only to see no one was there, this freak her out as she quickly scrambles out of the court much to Tetsuya's confusion.
Later that night, the gang are in front of Harunobu's apartment. Harunobu is currently wearing a white uniform with red tie and black pants. Harunobu's jaws drop at everyone in front of his apartment.
"The Madarame room, which is a walking distance from school, was confiscated and turn into Hato's changing room." Chizuru narrated as Harunobu automatically handed Hato a spared key much to his/her delight, "And Hato got a spare key so it can be used when he's gone or at work.'' he thought with a smile.
"Thank you very much." Hato said in delight.
"No... no problem..." Harunobu replied despite his confusion.
"Woah... isn't this great, Hato-chan!" Rika said in joy.
"Hey... is this club really okay?" Mirei asked in disbelief.
Chizuru chuckled, "Maybe... I'm totally okay with it." he replied.
"Chizuru!" a voice called.
Everyone turns to see Yuuki making his way towards them. He's currently wearing a dark high-collared leather jacket over a red shirt, gray pants and black boots.
"Yo Yuuki!" Chizuru greeted back.
"Chi-kun! Who's this cute guy?'' Risa asked referring to Yuuki.
"Oh! This is Yuuki Asaba, my best friend and childhood buddies." Chizuru introduced Yuuki, "By the way, how was the Manga Club?" he asked as Chika turns to them when he said the manga club.
Yuuki shrugged, "I'm doing good but the rest are quite full of themselves... so I put them in their place." he replied much to everyone's shock.
Chizuru let's out a laugh, "Resorting to dominance already, as expected of you, Yuuki!" he exclaimed.
"Are you sure about this? The Manga Club are a bit of a prideful people.'' Chika pointed out.
"Don't worry... Yuuki can take care of himself." Chizuru reassured before looking up at the starry dark sky, "What a way to start college! I still hate studying but I can tell I'll be having a lot of fun in this club." he thought with a grin.
And that's that! This chapter is based from the first episode of Genshiken Nidaime. If you're sick of anime with the same high school setting then I recommend watching Genshiken, it's what I say, the best college anime I ever watch, it has three seasons and a few OVAs. I guarantee you'll loved it.
This are the characters that debuted in this fic:
Chika Oguie, Kanako Ohno, Susanna Hopkins, Rika Yoshitake, Mirei Yajima, Manabu Kuchiki, Kenjirou Hato, Harunobu Madarame, Souichiro Tanaka, Kanji Sasahara, Saki Kasukabe and Makoto Kousaka from the Genshiken series.
I hope you enjoy this chapter. Next chapter will focus on the Loser's Club along with their latest additions to their group.
Until then paalam!
