RAMSHACKLE DORM : TSUKIKOS ROOM

As the Eldest Akari sister was heading back to her room after her midnight encounter, Tsukiko Akari sleeps peacefully in her room. The mirror began to ripple and soon shimmer and at the very same time, Tsukiko begins to dream.

TSUKIKO'S POV

DREAM SEQUENCE

I slowly opened my eyes as once again I realized that I'm dreaming. Surrounding my sights was nothing more than mists. Suddenly I stopped and heard it…it sounded like marching, only it's not human… Soon in front of me the mist began to clear and I was inside what seems like a cave. Tall and rocky… I looked on the floor and could see cracks and what seems to be like green steam coming out. I turned to where the sound was coming from and I blinked as I whispered, "Animals… are marching?"

I can see a pack of wild hyenas and they were marching at first before they stopped and looked up. I followed to where they were staring at and I see a Lion with a scar on his eye standing on the cliffside looking down on them. From the looks of things he seems to be the leader of this pack.

Wait… he looks rather familiar?

"A shiny new era is tip-toeing nearer…." The Lion declared to the Hyeanas.

"And where do we venture?" One of the Hyenas asked. The Lion walked towards her as he replied in a sing song tone, "Just listen to teacher." He gave a rather playful (and it seems painful) pinch on the female Hyenas cheek who did not seem happy as she rubbed her sore cheek afterwards.

The Lion then climbed into the other ledge as he said with a wicked grin, "We're going to kill Mufasa. And Simba too. Then I will be King!"

"Gasp! Kill?!" I cried in shock.

All the Hyenas cackled and cheered while jumping up and down as they cried, "Great idea! Long Live the King! Long Live the King!"

The Lion gave a smug smile as he continued, "My teeth and Ambitions are bared. Be prepared!"

I took two steps back… whoever those two are…. Mufasa and Simba… I need to find them… I need to warn them!

But before I could run out of there, my moonstone began to glow and I was engulfed by the light…. The last thing on my mind was… "Why does he want to be King so badly?"

And then I woke up….

NORMAL POV

RAMSHACKLE DORM: TSUKIKOS ROOM

Tsukiko slowly sat up on her bed. She slowly rubbed her eyes and stared at the Mirror on her wall. Memories from the dream troubled her so as her hand reached towards her moonstone and gently caressed it.

"That was a really wild dream." Tsukiko sighed out. What was dream all about… why was she having them…

Her thoughts were soon interrupted when Grim suddenly barged inside as jumped on her bed as he greeted her, "Oh, you're up Tsukiko! You're making breakfast right? Let's get going! I'm starving!" Seeing the little monsters excited face, Tsukiko brushed away her worries regarding her dreams and smiled gently saying, "Oh, Of course…."

She quickly showered and changed into her school uniform before heading downstairs to prepare breakfast for everyone.

NORMAL POV

MAIN STREET

After a hearty breakfast, The Akari sisters and grim were walking towards the school.

"Oh yeah….Himari did you go somewhere last night?" Grim asked looking at Himari, "You were gone when I woke up for the bathroom."

"Eh? Neesan did you go somewhere?" Tsukiko asked also.

Himari gave a nervous laugh and muttered, "Umm… well…." She then told her younger siblings and Grim about what happened last night including her encounter with the young man with horns.

"Ooohhh…. A midnight encounter with a mysterious man… how romantic." Hoshiko giggled as she teased her older sister.

"H-HUH?! WHO SAID IT WAS ROMANTIC!? IT'S NOT LIKE THAT HOSHII!" Cried a flustered looking Himari. Both Hoshiko and Tsukiko couldn't help but giggle at their sisters red-faced expression. It's not everyday their Tough as nails older sister would have an encounter like that with a boy. Most often they either end up pummeled to the ground by her or run off the hills out of pure fright.

Grim on the other hand looked deep in thought as he said, "Weehh… a weirdo with horns on his head. Did you find out his name?"

Himari pinched her nose in frustration as she muttered, "Naahh… he didn't want to give his name. He said I can call him whatever I want."

"Oooh… so he wants you to call him whatever you want?" Hoshiko asked in her sing song voice, "That even makes the whole encounter even more like that from fantasy romance."

"Hoshiko I swear…" Himari grumbled looking more and more tempted to pinch her younger sister's cheeks.

"Hmmm… then… How about 'Tsunotaro'?" Grim suggested. Himari looked at the little monster blankly before she gave a joyous laugh as she carried Grim high and said, "Hahahaha…. Good one, little furball. That's a great idea. Tsunotaro, it is then!"

Tsukiko looked concerned and said, "Won't that make him angry for calling him that?"

Hoshiko chirped in, "Well he did say to Hima-nee to call him whatever she wanted…. So, he probably won't be offended by it."

"Yeah," Himari chuckled as she placed Grim on her shoulders. "He said it so no regrets if we meet again."

"If Tsunotaro is a student here we'll probably run into him at some point. You gotta introduce me to him." Grim said happily. "I've never seen a human with horns before."

"Me too!" Hoshiko said excitedly, "I want to meet him also!"

Tsukiko just smiled and nodded, before Himari could reply someone greets out, "G'Morning Lovely Ladies and Grim chan."

The Akari sisters and Grim turned around to see Cater and Riddle approaching them.

"Ohayo Cay-kun and Riri" Hoshiko greeted cheerfully.

"Ohayo," Tsukiko Greeted also.

"Hey guys." Himari said giving a friendly wave.

Riddle gave a gentleman's bow before greeting, "Good morning to you all as well." He then noticed something and took a few steps closer to Himari as he said, "Hmm…. Your ribbon is a little off…" Himari looked down and saw that Riddle was right. Riddle then asked, "May I?" Himari gave a nod and the red-haired student began to untie and retie her ribbon, all the while saying "Following the rules starts with your attire. Or else your residents will never listen to you… Although, I guess it's not as bad as its only you, Grim, and your sisters. Hmmm… all right there you go." He took a step back to admire what he did.

Himari looked at her ribbon and gave Riddle a warm grin saying, "Well thanks a lot, Riddle."

Seeing her warm and dazzling face, it made Riddle's heart skip a beat. With his cheeks slightly tinged red. He cleared his throat and calmed himself down. Behind him Cater, Hoshiko, Grim and Tsukiko were grinning at how cute the scene looked. Himari on the other hand, just smiled but remained rather clueless.

Grim looked around and asked, "Ace and Deuce aren't with you?"

Riddle shook his head as he said, "In accordance with Laws of the Queen of Hearts; No 249, They are currently feeding the flamingoes dressed in pink."

"W-Wait what?! They're dressed in Pink? Ohh hohoho I would love to see that!" Himari snickered quietly imagining the duo in pink garments. She had to hold back from laughing out loud.

Riddle couldn't help but look amused at Himari's reaction. His face then turned serious and crossed his arms telling them, "By the way…. there was another accident last night."

"FGNAH! Really?!" Grim cried out.

Himari then stopped laughing and looked at Riddle seriously. "So, who was hurt this time?"

"According to the portrait that witnessed it, the victim was a 2nd year from Scarabia Dorm." Cater answered. "Jamil Viper. It apparently happened in the Kitchen."

"Isn't that the dorm with the Maroon and Yellow Armbands?" Hoshiko asked. Cater nodded as Riddle looked at Himari saying, "Since it's still breakfast time, they're probably in the cafeteria. Let's check."

"Right!" Himari agreed. Then off they went to the cafeteria.

:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3

NORMAL POV

CAFETERIA

Arriving at the canteen, the group looked around. Himari looked at Cater and asked, "So what does this Jamil guy look like?"

Cater was scanning around while scratching the back of his neck saying "Umm… Jamil has dark skin and long, black hair…. Oh, there he is!" The sisters, Grim and Riddle turned to look at where Cater was pointing. Sitting on the far side of the Cafeteria were two students of Scarabia Dorm. Jamil Viper has dark skin and looks about average height. He has sharp eyes with brown eyeshadows on the corners. Some of his long black hair has been tied in braids and low ponytails. Across him also eating breakfast was the dorm leader of Scarabia Kalim.

As the group approached the pair, Grim suddenly pounced on the table to look at Jamil and point out, "Yo! You're the guy that got hurt in the kitchen yesterday? Tell us about it."

"G-Grim?!" Tsukiko gasped out. Himari sighed and shook her head muttering, "He just had to be too direct…."

Jamil looked surprised at first but then he calmly asked, "Huh? What do you guys want out of the blue?"

Kalim jumped out as he saw Grim crying out "AHHH! This is the raccoon that set my butt on fire during the entrance ceremony!"

"FGNAH! I'M NOT A RACCOON YOU-" Grim yelled back.

MEGACHOP

"What did we say about how you ask questions?" Himari snapped as she pulled up the little monster on the scruff of his neck. She looked at the pair and gave an apologetic smile. Riddle looked at Kalim and said "We're sorry about disturbing you guys while you were eating."

"Ooh… the dorm head of Heartslabyul and Ramshackle… along with the violent raccoon from the ceremony. Ahahahaha…. This is a funny combo." Kalim laughed heartily.

Grim angrily broke free from Himari's hold and jumped back on the table as he cried out, "AGAIN! I ain't no raccoon! I'm the great Grim… and these girls are my underlings!"

"And once again we aren't your underlings you little furball!" Himari growled out giving another bop on Grim's head.

Kalim laughed again and said, "Oooh, really! I'm Kalim, the dorm head of Scarabia. This is the vice dorm head Jamil. Nice to meet you."

"Oh, Oooh, This guy's got a loose screw or two." Grim muttered looking rather confused at the Boys reaction.

"A-Ah… sorry I guess introductions are in order." Himari exclaimed realizing that her sisters were behind her. "Kalim these are my sisters… This is Tsukiko and this is Hoshiko."

Tsukiko gave a polite bow while Hoshiko gave a friendly wave.

Kalim's eyes suddenly litted up as he rushed forward and grasped Hoshiko's hands and said in an excited voice, "Oooh! I finally got a chance to know your name! I really wanted to thank you for your help that time during the ceremony!"

Hoshiko blinked at first but she once again gave a hearty giggle and chirped, "It was my pleasure to help."

In an instance Himari put herself between the two and giving Kalim a strained grin saying, "Ah ha ha ha… yeah… nice…" Jamil sighed and shook his head as he also pulled Kalim away from the sisters. He then looked at the group and asked, "And? Why do you want to know about my injury?"'

"Oh… umm… well we are doing a little investigation and we needed to know what happened." Tsukiko replied.

Jamil looked at the group in a slightly suspicious expression, "Hmm? Well, I don't really mind." He then said, "Last night I was in the kitchen making agemanju with lamb per Kalim's request."

"Jamil's agemanju is the best!" Kalim said happily, "You guys should come try it sometime."

"Suuuree…" Himari replied, not knowing what to say to the cheerful white-haired boy.

"Kalim, don't get us sidetracked." Jamil said to Kalim.

"Ah, my Bad, my bad." Kalim said.

Jamil then continued, "While I was finely chopping all the ingredients, for some reason my hand slipped and I cut myself."

"Oh dear." Tsukiko gasped out.

"Jamil is so good with a knife even the head cook was blown away." Kalim said. He then looked at Jamil and asked, "Were you tired from the magift practice?"

"No… Not so much that my hand would slip like that." Jamil replied.

It was then Tsukiko noticed something, she stepped closer to Jamil and said in a soft voice, "Umm… excuse me… but your bandage looks rather loose…. May I?" Jamil looked rather surprised at the Blue-haired girl's sudden gesture. He silently nodded as he extended his bandaged hand. Tsukiko then proceeded to rewrap and secure the bandage. All the while Jamil couldn't help but be mesmerized by the girl's gentleness. Once done she took a step back and smiled saying, "There… all done." Jamil looked at his bandaged hand then looked at Tsukiko saying, "T-Thank you." He then cleared his throat and said, "You know… while I was cooking, for a moment I felt my consciousness slip away."

"Were you feeling dizzy or drowsy?" Himari asked.

"Most would probably think so but…"Jamil said, "I've felt that sensation before. My guess, it was someone's unique magic."

The Akari sisters, Riddle and Cater all gave a small gasp and looked at each other with the same clear thought… that there was someone attacking the players using magic.

Kalim gave another sound as he cheerily exclaimed, "Oh yeah, your unique magic is…FFMMMGHPHFF!" In an instant Jamil rushed forward and covered Kalim's mouth. He then removed his hand from Kalim's mouth who then gasped out for air before he looked at Jamil annoyingly and said, "Why did you cover my mouth?"

"We're not talking about me right now!" Jamil snapped back looking just as annoyed. He then calmed down and looked at the group saying, "Anyway, I think they used magic to control the movements of others."

"I see now." Cater said, "That's why everyone just thought people were being careless."

"And since it was only for a moment, those who were injured would mistake being manipulated for being careless as well." Riddle added, "Even when I fell in the stairs, I didn't feel like someone had controlled me to do so."

"Trying to find that magic…. This just became expert difficulty." Cater sighed out worriedly, "What should we do?"

"Yeah… trying to find someone like that is like finding a needle in a haystack." Himari said.

Everyone looked now worried as they were faced with another new problem…. Well… all except one.

"Well…."

Everyone turned to look at the youngest of the Akari Sisters. Who calmly looked at the group and said, "… I think we may have already met someone like that…."

"…."

"EH?!"

"Hoshiko what do you mean?" Himari asked.

"Well… if you all think about it now… this whole thing seems like a scenario that happened to Grim chan a few days ago." Hoshiko chirped

"Huh?!" Grim asked looking rather confused. "Something that happened to me a few days ago?" He blinked a couple more before he cried out, "AH!"

Himari and Tsukiko also realized what Hoshiko was talking about as they remembered:

…..

"Would you trade your deluxe menchi katsu sandwich for my mini bean paste bread?"'

"Huh?! There's no way!"

"Now, now, don't be like that… here you go."

"FGNAH! WHAT THE HECK?! MY FRONT PAWS ARE…"

…..

"AAHHH!" Grim, Himari and Tsukiko then cried out in realization.

"You guys ok?! You're shouting!" Kalim asked looking rather shocked at the girls and Grim's reaction.

"W-we know!" Grim exclaimed, "We know who has that unique magic!"

"Come again?" Riddle gasped.

"Yeah…." Himari grinned as she fist punched her hands together, "The culprit is none other than Ruggie Bucchi!"

"Ruggie…. From Savanaclaw?" Cater asked.

Hoshiko nodded and said sheepishly, "It was only for a brief moment, but I did kinda felt some magic when he did that to Grim in order for him to get his sandwich… but at that time I didn't think much of it… sorry everyone."

Tsukiko smiled reassuringly to her younger sister, "No Hoshiko, it's not your fault… in fact we should be grateful that you mentioned it."

Riddle nodded and said, "Let's go catch and interrogate him."

"Ummm… Ruggie Bucchi is in class 2-B" Cater said looking at his phone for information.

"Ok… lets get going guys!" Himari said, she looked at Kalim and Jamil saying, "Thanks a lot guys for your help!"

Riddle nodded saying, "Yes we truly appreciate it."

Kalim smiled and said, "Sure. I'm not sure what's going on but good luck!"

The group then rushed out towards class 2b.

CLASSROOM

"Tell me….! Where is Ruggie Bucchi!" Grim called out.

The Akari sisters, Grim and Heartslabyul boys arrived at Classroom 2B. As soon as they arrived Grim jumped out from Hoshiko's arms and pounced on one of the tables.

Ruggie lazily got up from his chair and asked out, "Yess?" He then blinked in surprise as he saw who it was that was calling out to him, "Ugh, it's you guys again?!" He then snickered as he continued, "No matter how many times you ask, I can't give you the deluxe menchi katsu sandwich back."

Riddle and Himari stepped forward and stared down at the Hyena boy. Riddle then said, "Ruggie Bucchi. We would like to ask you a few things about the string of accidents involving players that have been occurring around campus."

Ruggie frowned and replied, "Uh-oh…. That doesn't sound like a pleasant convo."

"Look… we just need to ask you a couple of questions." Himari said looking just as serious as Riddle is. "Let's go outside for a bit to talk about it ok."

Ruggie raised his hands in a defensive position as he sighed out, "I got it. So please knock it off with the threatening aura."

:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3

NORMAL POV

INTERIOR HALLWAYS

Everyone walked outside with Ruggie in tow. As they stopped at an area that is secluded all turned to look at Ruggie.

"Alright," Riddle thought, "While I don't know all the details, we cant allow Ruggie to use his unique magic." He then muttered out, "I'll use 'OFF WITH YOUR HEAD'…"

"What's this now? Riddle." Ruggie suddenly spoke in a cheery tone, "Are you alright to use that kind of strong spell without your magical pen?"

"Eh?... Wh-what?!" Riddle blinked before he looked at his breast pocket and gasped out, "My magical pen is gone!"

"Hey Cater!" Grim exclaimed, "Your pen's gone too!"

"Crap! Seriously?!" Cater said, looking down at his pocket in shock.

All quickly looked at a grinning Ruggie, who was twirling the two magical pens in his hand.

"What the?! When did he?" Himari said in disbelief.

"Shishishishi! You were all raised with a cushy life, huh?" Ruggie snicked. "Your pockets are ripe for the picking. It wasn't a challenge."

"FGNAH!? When did he use the spell to take your magical pens?!" Grim asked

"Oh no… it was easy enough without magic!" Ruggie replied.

"Please… give them back." Tsukiko pleaded out.

"Yeah, give them back or else!" Himari growled out looking really pissed.

Ruggie gave a nonchalant shrug as he continued, "Sorry, but I don't have any more time to kill with y'all so I'm just gonna make my exit!" He then looked at Hoshiko and gave a flirty wink before dashing off shouting, "Bye-byeee!"

"HEY! COME BACK HERE!" Himari growled and ran after him.

"YEAH HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!" Grim cried out and joined Himari in the chase.

"N-Neesan…. Grim…" Tsukiko cried out.

"GRRR… FREEZE!" Riddle called out, "If you don't stop I'll have your head! OFF WITH-"

"Hold up, Riddle!" Cater exclaimed, "You finally got rid of all the blot from your body only recently!"

"He's right, Riri…" Hoshiko chirped in.

Riddle gritted his teeth in frustration as he knows both of them made a valid point.

"Oh man, your flamingo feeding pink attire was amazing. I can't believe you got a bright pink leopard print. I should have taken a photo of it and shown it to the girls."

"DON'T YOU DARE, ACE! B-besides it can't be helped. That's the only pink stuff I own…"

They turned to see walking towards them were Deuce and Ace. Ace continued to say, "In the end there's still a bunch of weird rules. Still better than before, though."

"Ah! Ace, Deuce! You have great timing" Cater hurriedly said.

"Eh… What happened to you guys?" Ace asked looking confused. "What's the problem?" He and Deuce then gulped in horror as they saw their dorm leader's face slowly turning red in a fit of anger. Riddle then calmly said, "The culprit for the string of accidents has made off with our magical pens. Both Himari and Grim are now chasing after him!" His voice soon began to rise as he ordered, "Catch Ruggie Bucchi this instant! I'm sure you know what happens if you don't!?"

Both Ace and Deuce gulped again in fear. Ace muttered out, "Y-You're dragging us into this?!"

Tsukiko grabbed both boys hands crying out, "There's no time, please! Neesan and Grim might need our help!" With that Tsukiko, Ace, Deuce, and Hoshiko ran off to catch up to Himari and Grim.

:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3

NORMAL POV

INTERIOR HALLWAYS

"STOP RUNNING AWAY YOU JERK!" Himari yelled out!

"FGNAH! WE'RE GONNA PUT A ROPE ON YOU!" Grim called out

While running down the hallways, Ruggie turned to look over his shoulders and was surprised to see that the golden-haired Sister and the furry monster was still hot on his trails.

"Does a first year and a raccoon really think they can catch me?" Ruggie snicked. "You already have this beat look. Shishishishi!"

"FGNAAH! I AINT NO RACOON!" Grim shouted angrily.

"HIMA! GRIM!"

Himari and Grim are now the ones who looked over their shoulders to see Deuce, Ace, Tsukiko and Hoshiko joining in the pursuit.

"What the?!" Himari exclaimed looking rather shock. "What are your guys doing here?!"

"We'll explain later." Ace replied as he soon ran next to Himari, "Right now we need to catch that guy! Let's go!" With that both he and the eldest Akari sister quicken their pace to catch Ruggie along with the others following them.

The group chased after the wily Hyena boy down the hallways . Soon they reached outside the courtyard and Ruggie stopped as he looked at the Heartslabyul and Ramshackle residence. He snickered and said, "I am rather impressed by you Ramshackle girls… you were able to keep up with me, same goes to you two…" He looked at both Ace and Deuce, "I thought there were only wimps in Heartslabyul thanks to all your tea parties but…You've all got spunk…. Very nice, very nice."

Deuce growled out, "Get him and know him down a peg!"

Ace then added, "Can't you just get caught? We don't wanna lose our heads to our dorm head!"

Ruggie snickered again as he made another mad dash saying, "Eeeh… then you'll just have to give it your all!"

"ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?!" Himari angrily cried out. They all ran after the Hyena once again. Suddenly Himari had an idea and told Deuce, "Hey Deuce, remember when we first met? When we were chasing after Ace back then… and how YOU stopped him! Well I need you to do the same thing again!"

Deuce looked confused at first before he realized what Himari meant. He then took out his magical pen and called out, "COME FORTH CAULDRON!"

Suddenly a black cauldron appeared above Ruggie, fortunately for the Hyena boy he instinctively dodged it. "WHOA! That actually took me by surprise" He gasped out, he looked at the cauldron and then at the Heartslabyul boys. He began to snicker out, "But taking a good long look at you, that was the last trick up your sleeve huh, shishishishi."

"Nah… we actually hoped you dodged that you douche"

ULTRA MEGACHOP

"OW!"

NORMAL POV

COURTYARD

"OW! OW! OW! OW! COME OOON! THIS IS DOWNRIGHT CRUELTY TO ANIMALS!" Ruggie cried out. As he was taunting the Heartslabyul boys for their failed attempt to stop him, he forgot all about the Akari sister who quickly sneaked up behind him and gave him the ultimate Megachop on the noggin and now is in a chokehold by the said sister.

"Shut up you jerk!" Himari growled in anger. "You better tell us everything you know about the accidents with the students and also give back Riddle and Caters magic pens at once!"

"Y-YEAH! YOU REALLY GAVE US SOME TROUBLE!" Ace gasped already out of breath.

"Man! How can one guy be so fast and freakishly acrobatic at the same time!" Deuce gasped out also out of breath.

"Fgnaaah.. I can't believe I couldn't catch him!" Grim mumbled looking just as exhausted.

Despite being in a chokehold (and a huge bump on his noggin), Ruggie couldn't but snicker again at the pitiful looks of the boys and Grim, "Shishishishi…. Compared to the backstreets in the slums, this is a cakewalk- OWOWOWOW!"

Himari's grip got even tighter as she looked at the Hyena boy and said, "We don't care why you were fast and all that crap! What we care about is that you confess about what you did! Tell us now why you attacked all the other students!"

Ruggie gave Himari a dirty look as he growled out, "Oh.. and you think by doing this you can prove that I'm really the culprit. All this will look like is that you guys bullied me into confessing something that isn't even true."

Himari was silently glaring back at the Hyena, she then released him who quickly took two steps away from her. He then looked at the group while tending his aching neck as he continued, "You don't have any evidence that I was the one who injured them. Did anyone see me use magic?"

"…."

Ruggie then smirked as they did not reply as he continued, "Did you get any pictures of it? You haven't huh?"

"Ugghh… that's…" Ace muttered.

Hoshiko looked at Ruggie calmly and chirped out, "But if you weren't guilty as you said you were… you wouldn't have run away like that…"

Ruggie looked at Hoshiko and said in while giving a fake hurtful look, "Hey… I had to run away, as I was being chased by scary looking students. If, anything I should be the one to file a complaint!"

Himari crossed her arms and growled out, "You can act like the 'poor little victim' all you want. But we are on to you. Even if we don't have any evidence yet there is one thing that is sure of… that is you guys are just cowards!"

Ruggie gave another dirty look at Himari as he said, "Cowards, eh? That's praise." He then chuckled out, "Shishishishi… next time you chase me around, have your ducks in a row. Try as much as you like though, next time will probably be impossible for you, too."

"Grrr… this is so frustrating!" Grim whined out.

"Oh don't worry…." Himari said sweetly but at the same time already cracking her knuckles. "If we do finally get the proof then you better pray that I never catch you… because the next time I might not be so nice!"

Ruggie couldn't help but shiver in fear as he knows that the eldest sister is not someone to mess with. He gave a great big gulp and regained his composure as he said cooly, "W-well then…. That's it for todays game of tag. Oh, I'll leave the two magical pens here." He then pulled out from within his coat jacket Riddle and Caters Magical pens and place them on a nearby bench. He then gave a mischievous grin as he ran off shouting, "Bye-Byeee!"

"SHIT SCREW HIM!" Ace shouted in anger.

"Dorm head Rosehearts is gonna have out heads!" Deuce said worriedly.

"Cheer up, guys!" Hoshiko giggled as she picked up the two magical pens, "At least you were able to get back the pens."

"That boy…" Tsukiko said looking worried, "He just said 'NEXT TIME' right? It must mean he is going to target another student again!"

Himari tsked and looked just as concern for the safety of the next student who may fall victim to Ruggie's magic. "Sorry everyone, "she said, "I should have just wrung the confession out of that little weasel!"

"But Hima-nee… He's got a point" Hoshiko said, "without any solid evidence it will be just our words against his and you may even get into more trouble than him."

"Yeah you're right Hoshii," Himari grumbled while scratching the back of her head in frustration, "but it would make me feel a lot better at least."

"Y'all still haven't learned your lesson?"

Everyone turned to see standing near a tree was Jack Howl.

"Oh… it's Jack-kun." Tsukiko said.

"Wait… were you just there this whole time?" Himari asked. Jack nodded his head.

"Huh?! Then you should have helped instead of just watching!" Ace cried out annoyed, "Your dorm is full of bastards like him!"

"Tell me… why are you working so hard for other people's sake?" Jack asked.

"Other peoples?" Deuce asked looking confused.

"I understand wanting to get back at the culprit for the people who got hurt but…." Jack said.

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Ace suddenly asked.

"Eh?" Jack asked now looking confused.

"Who said anything about doing this for other people's sake?" Ace replied with a smirk on his face.

"We just want to score points by catching the culprit." Deuce added.

"Yeah yeah. Then get picked for the magical tournament. And show off for the whole world." Ace continued eagerly.

"I'm gonna catch that guy then be on the big screen!" Grim declared.

"I feel bad for Trey, but I'm gonna take his spot." Ace said.

Jack looked at the male trio in disbelief. Himari was pinching the bridge of her nose and shaking her head in annoyance of the boys idiotic reasons. Tsukiko just sighed out while Hoshiko just giggled.

The large wolf boy crossed his arms as he said, "Hmph! I can't trust guys who just do things for others but…. You guys are worse than I thought."

"Hey… don't you dare lump us together with these trio of morons." Himari muttered angrily.

Ace glared at Jack saying "What?! You're definitely worse than us. By the looks of it, you knew what was going on. That Ruggie is the culprit."

"Oh yeah!" Grim exclaimed pointing his paw at Jack, "You knew that since you're in the same dorm you wouldn't be targeted?"

Jack was silent for the moment before he looked at them with a serious expression and said, "…. Oi, assholes! Go have a round with me."

"Huuhhh?" Ace exclaimed now looking surprised, "What's gotten into you?"

"If guys are gonna spill their guts, they start with their fists." Jack said raising one fist up. "If you can show me you're not all bark and no bite, I'll tell you everything I know."

"Geh! I hate getting all sweaty." Ace grumbled.

"I don't hate it." Deuce said excitedly, "Makes things simple!"

"FGNAH!? Deuce's bad-boy-switch has been flipped!"

"Why does it always happen like this?" Tsukiko sighed out.

"Hold up, Deuce… You won't be the one fighting him… neither is Ace also." Himari suddenly said.

All eyes looked towards at Himari in total surprise.

"N-neesan?" Tsukiko stammered out.

Himari then stood in front of Jack as she said, "I can see that you're the kind of guy who follows a code of honor above all else… I respect that. So, if that's the case, as the Head of Ramshackle dorm, I will accept your challenge."

"FGNAH! ARE YOU SERIOUS?!" Grim cried out.

"Oi Hima!" Ace exclaimed.

The surprised Jack was about to say something but Himari interrupts him as she continues, "Also don't you dare give me that BS about not wanting to fight me just because I'm a girl. I am not the type you want to mess around with."

Hoshiki calmly said, "Yup yup… I wouldn't if I were you Jack-jack."

Jack looked at Himari before sighing out and said, "Fine… if you insist."

Himari smiled and said, "That's good to hear."

She then walked a few steps away from Jack before she took on a fighting stance and cried out.

"All right! Let's go, Wolfy!"

I hoped everyone enjoyed the latest chapter. Apologies also if it took me a while to finish. This has been a really long chapter… not to mention the animatics that I added. As I mentioned before the next three chapters will be original scenes… (well for Himari and Jacks chapter the 1st part is still part of the original storyline but afterwards it will be all mine. So I still hope you will all enjoy)

Also April 12 is Tsukiko's Bday… unfortunately I no longer have time to create a bday episode, but will be working on a bday design for her.

Anyway, may you all have a great week.

See you all on the next chapter.
