Chapter Text
Saeko busujima
She stared at the boy across from her with a frown upon her face. Akira was a boy in her class, one who always seemed to keep to himself. He was there when she came to Fujimi High School, always at the back of the class, always keeping to himself. He hardly ever talked to anyone and that seemed to get him in a lot of trouble.
Now imagine her surprise when the mysterious loner of her class suddenly approached her. Asking for a spar.
“I want to see how strong I've become, so please don't hold back.”
That was the longest statement she had ever heard him say to any student.
Before she could respond he'd already grabbed a shinai and gotten into a stance. It was a firm and good stance. One that convinced her that there was more to this whole encounter than meets the eye.
“Very well, let me get the protective gear-
“Just like this if you don't mind,” Akira insisted.
She got into a stance and raised her own shinai.
In the blink of an eye, the distance was covered.
Akira was relentless, leaving her on the defensive. She blocked and tried to parry his strikes but his powerful swings wouldn't allow for any openings. He brought his shinai down so fast she barely stopped it.
“You have to do better than this,” Akira growled as he glared at her. “Come at me like your life's on the line! If you keep holding back-
To prove his point, pulled his shinai back and slammed it into her unguarded waist.
Saeko fell to one knee in pain. She looked up and he was waiting for her, waiting for her to stop holding back. Standing up, she narrowed her eyes at him.
“Today, you are my enemy.” She said as she got back into her stance. A second later the distance was covered. This time she was on the offensive, strikes with her full power behind them rained down on Akira but much to her amazement and excitement.
He blocked and parried every single one of them.
Saeko couldn't help but smile, finally a worthy opponent! This was no longer a kendo match, all rules and laws of Kendo were ignored in favor of a deadly battle of blades(wood). Two monsters going at it with all their might, thirsting for the others blood!
Sadly, all good things must come to an end.
There was a loud CRACK as both shina exploded into dust.
Saeko, slightly out of breath, stared at Akira with wide eyes.
“Looks like we're done for today,” Akira sighed before he gave her a bow, turned and walked away. “Shame, I was having fun.”
She watched him walk away before she went back to what she was doing before he interrupted her. After that she went home.
As she took off her clothes, Saeko couldn't help but notice all the bruises on her body. It seemed Akira had gotten in quite a few hits while they fought.

Ayumu Kadowaki adjusted his glasses as the club room president walked into the broom closet that was their clubroom.
Six months ago just before the start of his second year, his senior walked into the Shogi club. Behind him were a few known school delinquents. His heart almost burst with joy at the fact that somebody had decided to join the Shogi club! For some reason unknown to him, no one his age played Shogi! They would rather play these popular western games to seem cool. Like chess or checkers.
Yuck!
For almost a year he had been the only member, and without two or more people he was going to be shut down. Until his Senior burst in with a couple of delinquents, ready to re-educate them with the power of shogi!
Or so he had assumed…
No, Akira was here for something else. He was here to turn the Shogi club into something else: the Doomsday preppers club! Rather than go through the long and tedious process of getting a new club he decided to high Jack the Shogi club! And those delinquents? They are technically members of the Shogi club but in name only. They are free to cut class because of club activities or something like that.
The point is, the Shogi club was saved. But at what cost.
“From this day forward you are the vice president of the Doomsday preppers and my right hand! Come let us pass out flyers!”
Ayumu could do nothing but accept.
He and his upperclassman went out to pass the flyers. As expected no one wanted to be in the Shogi/Doomsday preppers club. What little friends Ayumu had were lost that day. The school collectively clowned on them, even the anime nerds made fun of them! But Akira took all this in stride, he simply shrugged and didn't bother again.
Since it was just the two of them, Akira would go on and on about how to survive a Zombie apocalypse of all things. And how calling Zombies by any other name was dumb and stupid.
Ayumu would run for the hills if not for the fact that Akira showed an interest in Shogi. So the two played Shogi and ran drills for how to survive the apocalypse. It was crazy! On weekends Akira would show up to his place and force him to go running.
Saying that to be the strongest Shogi player in the world he had to be both mentally and physically fit. At Least his mother was happy he had a friend who was an upperclassman.After the running, came the situps and push ups. While they were tiring it was actually fun. Most of it was all Stamina building, but then came the parkour.
It was hell.
The running, jumping, vaulting, climbing and rolling were so intense Ayumu felt pain in muscles he didn't even know he had! He and Akira visited the school nurse's office so often that she got worried and was about to shut down the Shogi club.
That was until Akira convinced her to be the club advisor.
So the shogi/Doomsday preppers club had an official club adviser and member. Marikawa Shizuka!
For some reason she took a liking to Akira's teaching (fanatical rumblings) going as far as to ask for homework from him!
Somehow, someway he was the normal one!
As Akira entered the room, Shizuka followed soon after. A book and pen in hand.
“Before we begin today's lesson, Shizuka, how are things going on your end?” Akira stood at the front of the room while Ayumu and Shizuka sat on their respective chairs and desks.
“My training under Rike has been going well! I've progressed in hand to hand combat and I can now dual wield two silenced pistols!” The blonde nurse said, a sweet smile on her face.
…yeah maybe it was time Ayumu left these two weirdos and alert the po-
“That's good. Ayumu, I've been working on a computer program that can beat anyone in Shogi. After this class I was hoping you could try it and see if you beat it.”
Just when I thought I was out…they pull me back in.
“Now turn your attention to the board,” Akira gestured to the small white board he had. “Today's lesson is Desalination! The process of turning seawater into healthy drinkable water!”
Huh, last time it was how to gut fish.
…
…
…
Rei Miyamoto felt like crying.
First that Bastard Shido held her back a grade, now he has the balls to punish for talking back at him!
She had to clean all the club rooms in the school once everyone had gone home. It wasn't fair! It took her hours until she finally made it to the last clubroom, the Shogi club.
A bucket, mop and broom in hand Rei opened the door to the room and was surprised to find someone waiting for. She recognised him, they were second years together last year.
“Oh, Rei Miyamoto, what a surprise.” Akira said as he closed his laptop. “To what do I owe the visit?”
“I'm supposed to clean the clubrooms,” Rei said as she fully entered the room. The room was small but everything seemed to be arranged in perfect order. The Shogi club was surprisingly a clean bunch.
“Clubrooms? All of them?” He asked as she nodded. “Shindu is taking things too far.”
Rei blinked. “How did you know it was him?”
“For some reason, the guy has had it out for you. I noticed it last year when we were in the same class.” He said before he gestured to one of the seats. “The clubroom is already clean so you can take a rest.”
Rei sighed in relief as she took the offer. “Thank you Akira,” She said as he waved her off. “So, you're in the Shogi club?”
“Yep, I'm president of the shogi club.” He shrugged. “Not the most popular club out there but it has its perks. I get a lot of free time to myself.”
“That sounds nice,” Rei said with a smile. Ever since she was held back, the other members of the sojutsu club didn't look at her the same way. They were still nice but…she couldn't help but feel the stares and whispers.
“It is, you should join.”
“...I can't, I'm in the Sojutsu club. Would have made captain if it wasn't for…” Rei paused and took in a breath. Being held back, she'd lost so much. The respect of her peers and most importantly, Takashi had stopped talking to her.
“What if I got Shido off your back? Would you consider joining us, we could use someone of your skill.” Akira offered.
…why would the Shogi club need someone skilled in Sojutsu?
“No thank you, I don't want you getting his attention.” Rei said with a nervous smile.
Akira seemed to stare at her for a moment before sighing.
“We'll see if you feel the same way tomorrow,” the boy stood up and stuffed his laptop in his bag. “It was nice talking to you Rei, good bye.”
“Eh…goodbye?” A confused Rei gave a small wave as he walked past her.
Akira sure was strange. How can someone so handsome be so strange was a common statement shared among girls. Still, it was nice talking to him.She stood up, grabbed the things she came in with and walked out of the door.
Perhaps Akira wasn't so strange after all.
Rei turned to the nearby window, just in time to catch Akira walking towards the school gates. How'd he get down there so fast? He then broke into a run and vaulted over the school fence.
It was impressive if not for the fact that the gates were wide open….
Maybe Akira really was strange.
…
…
…
Shido made his way into his small apartment with a tired sigh. Sometimes being a teacher was quite stressful. He turned on the lights to his suspiciously dark living room and was met with the sight of a masked man seated on his favorite couch.
“Sit on the floor Shindo,” The man said, a gun in his hand that was pointed right at Shido. “Any funny movement and I kill you.”
“O-of course!” Shido quickly did as he was told. “There's no need for a gun, I'm sure we can come to an arrangement.”
Shido inwardly smirked. Everyone had a price.
“You've been busy Shinji,” the masked man said, his voice slightly muffled. “Rather than helping your little brother, you've gone out of your way to find his weaknesses. Daddy dearest would be ashamed if ever found out.”
Shido froze. “I…I don't know what you're talking about!”
“Of course you do,” The masked man chuckled. “I know everything about you Shidou. I know your mommy drank herself to death because of Daddy dearest, I know how you worshiped him, how you wanted to make him proud. You wanted to be his successor. Only to be bamboozled by the half brother you didn't even know you had. So now you're playing the long game, making sure to lay low while secretly planning his downfall. It's a good plan.”
Shido felt his body go cold. Just how did this man know so much!
“You fucked up shinji,”
And why did he insist on calling him by the wrong name!
“You and Daddy messed with someone you shouldn't have. Rei Miyamoto.”
What?! That's what this is about?! The damned inspector must have hired a private investigator!
“You see Sindel,”
…this was getting ridiculous.
“Rei Miyamoto is the side piece of a very important person. When you and your daddy pulled that shit, she went crying to him. She must have the best pussy in all of Tokonosu City because I tell you he is pissed. I was ordered to find as much dirt as I could on you, the easiest money I ever made.” The masked man gave a laugh that sent chills up Shido's spine. “Sadly you can't undo what's already been. But you can do something to at least put my boss at ease. Leave the girl alone, no more punishments and no more mocking her.”
Shido had been trying to think of the powerful individual who had sent this man but he was drawing a blank. He needed to find out just who he was dealing with here.
For now he would play along.
“And here comes the best part, apologies to the girl and it's done. I won't be coming after you.” The man stood up and walked towards the seated form of shinji. “Do this tomorrow, or else I'll be coming after you shinji. The inspector might get a flash drive with some information regarding your father's funds.”
With that, the masked man walked out of the apartment. Leaving behind a raging Shido.
To be reduced to a child sitting on the floor, whoever Rei Miyamoto was fucking was going to pay dearly for this transgression!
…
The masked man stood upon the rooftops of the nearby apartments. Watching as Shinju threw a tantrum in his apartment.
Shaking his head in amusement, the man brought his hand up to his mask and took it off. Revealing a youthful face.
…
…
…
Rei blinked as she looked Shido right in the eye. The asshole didn't mean it, but the fact that he apologized to her is insane!
Imagine her surprise when he stopped her at the gates, pulled her aside and apologized to her through gritted teeth.
“Sorry I didn't quite catch that?” Rei had a smirk on her face, seeing the man barely hold in his anger. She didn't know why he was apologizing but she would milk this moment for all it was worth.
“I'm sorry, please forgive me for my short-sightedness.” The man even gave a bow! He quickly stood up straight and walked off.
Rei watched him walk away, genuinely surprised.
Was all this Akira's doing? Did he really want her that badly in the Shogi club? Just what did he do to get Shido to apologize?
“Miyamoto stop daydreaming and get to class!”
Rei quickly filled in line with the rest of the students. She would talk to Akira after classes, find out what he had done to get Shido of all people to apologize.
…

…
He was hired as Head engineer by a mysterious rich investor. No one knew who he was but apparently he was from America! The man had bought one of the bigger islands that surrounded Tokonosu and began renovating it. Most of the trees were cut down in favor of large buildings. Tall, large and thick concrete walls surrounded the island.
The inside of the island looked like it was a bunch of small apartments in a circular shape. Large buildings filled to the brim with small rooms that can hold up to three people. At the end of the island were two large ablution blocks, a large hall that was a cafeteria, a small building that was supposed to be a clinic and with two wide buildings.
Rooms and the cafeteria were fully stocked. The rooms had beds and small radios while the cafeteria had tables, benches, large cooking equipment and a walk-in cooler freezer combo.The ablution blocks were finished with the plumbing done and the toilets, sinks and showers installed. Only the clinic was empty.
He had spent a year working on the island, truth be told he sometimes wondered why all this was being built but then he remembered he was being paid a ridiculous salary. He wisely kept his mouth shut.
And it wasn't just him, everyone was being paid extra to get the island done as soon as possible. Some politicians had stuck their nose into this, threatened to stall the project but they too were paid. A lot of people were paid off for this project to go smoothly.
“Alright, move it! Move it, we still have ten more trucks to go!” He yelled as the men quickly went to the back of the truck and started offloading its contents. He then turned to the young man next to him. “I have to say boss, this is a lot of rice and beans.”
“The boss likes rice and beans,” the kid shrugged. “You should see the canned food.
The kid, who liked to be called Kira, was the middle man between him and the boss. The kid usually wore a face mask and a hoodie. If you wanted to talk to the boss you talked to Kira. He was also the one who usually inspected the place. And lately he has been coming here a lot more often. Kira seemed to want the project done as soon as possible.
“This afternoon we're bringing in state of the art sea desalination machines.” Kira said. “I'll be here all day to supervise, this is important.”
“I heard those machines cost a fortune,” He whistled. “But with those around, the island will be more or less self-sustaining. Sea water will now be drinkable. No need to go to the mainland.”
“That's good, I don't want any more contact with the city. This month is your last month here. Once the solar panels come in we're done.”
He blinked as he processed what the young man next to him had said.
“We'll speed things up for you then,” He said with a chuckle.
“Good, now give me a tour of the storage rooms and tell me what we have so far.”
“Yes sir,” The older of the two brought out his trusty clipboard. The storerooms were just now being filled up so he had the paperwork on him. The two made their way to the end of the island just next to the cafeteria. “So in the first building we have the non food materials.”
The large reinforced doors opened and he led Kira inside. The building had a few rooms each stacked to the brim with stuff.
“We have boxes of Water purification tablets! Boxes of First Aid kits! Camping tents! Boxes of bathing soap, dishwashing soap and washing soap!Boxes of flashlights, headlamps, light sticks, glow sticks, and fire starters! Neon green coveralls, face masks, protective goggles and lab coats. We also have boxes full of batteries for the flashlights and some spare radios. And finally we have contraceptive pills, condoms and that's about it.” He said as they moved on to the other building.
Everything on the list numbered in the hundreds and thousands. All this stuff could be shared among tens of thousands of people.
“This is where the foods are stored but it isn't yet completely stocked since the rice and beans just started coming in. But we do have boxes of sugar, salt, powdered milk, vegetable oil, sealed containers of wheat and cereals. And finally a shit ton of bottled water. So far that's about it.” Again, the food that was being stored here could feed an entire village for months! And even more was coming in everyday!
“Good everything seems to be going according to plan.” Kira said.
“What about the clinic? Nothing seems to be coming in.” He asked as Kira sighed.
“Apparently I need a license to order the drugs and equipment for the clinic. They don't just give them out to anyone and they come all the way from Tokyo.” Kira said as he phone went off. The kid answered his phone, spoke for a while before cutting the call. “Seems our solar panels and Desalination machines came in early. The cargo plane just landed and they are being offloaded. They'll be here in a few hours.”
“Boss, why do we need more solar panels? The Generators we have seem to be working just fine.” He asked.
“Just being cautious, who knows what might happen to the Generators.” Kira shrugged. “How's work on the shielding sheds?”
“Almost done,”
“Good, now let's go see where the Desalination machines will be installed.”

Saeko made her way to where she was told the Shogi club was. Akira hadn't shown up to class yesterday so she couldn't confront him about his hidden Kendo talent.
Today he was in attendance but he had slept throughout the classes. She wanted to ask for a rematch after school but halfway through the day he had gone missing. Apparently he had club activities.
So after school she asked around for the Shogi club and made her way there. Only to bump into a former classmate of hers.
“Rei?”
“Saeko?”
The two girls stared at each before Saeko finally broke the silence.
“You're a member of the Shogi club?” She asked.
“I…I just joined yesterday,” Rei replied. “Um, what are you doing here?”
“I came to see Akira, we have some unfinished business.” Saeko said as the door to the clubroom opened.
“Oh our newest members! Please come in, come in!” The school Nurse Shizuka Marikawa peaked her head through. “Our club president is about to give a speech!”
Saeko and Rei looked at each other before doing as the blonde nurse said.
As the two walked, Saeko instantly spotted him.
Akira stood at the front of the room, a look of determination on his face.
Saeko and Rei took their seats along with Shizuka and another boy with glasses.
“To start things off, I would like to introduce you to our newest members. Rei Miyamoto and Saeko Busujima, both are capable fighters on their own.”
“Actually I'm-
Saeko was ignored.
“As you all know, tomorrow is the weekend. Which means we're going on a club field trip to the mall. We'll be handing these out,” Akira, who had ignored Saeko, grabbed a large box from the floor and put it on the desk in front of him. He opened the box and pulled out a leaflet. “Pamphlets! We'll be distributing these to the masses tomorrow!”
“But isn't that illegal?” Rei asked with a frown.
“So long as we are not forcing people to get them and we're not standing in storefronts. Ayumu, please hand these out.”
Ayumu, a boy with green hair and glasses did as told. Saeko gave the boy a thanks as he handed it to her.
How to survive the Zombie apocalypse
The pamphlets were only four pages, with each having information on how to kill Zombies of all things.
They don't see like us but they have supernatural levels of hearing.
Aim for the head, that puts them down for good.
Saeko gave the first page a read and instantly raised an eyebrow. “What is all this? I assumed this was the Shogi club.” She asked.
“It is, but Akira decided to take over. To the outside world we're the Shogi club! But secretly we-
“-are the Doomsday preppers club,” Akira finished much to Ayumu's dismay.
“Stop, you stole my thunder!”
Akira ignored Ayumu as he turned to her. “I know you have questions, they'll all be answered tomorrow. Since it's a school trip you're all supposed to come in uniform. We'll meet up at the mall with Nurse Shizuka, she's our chaperone.”
Akira glanced at her one last time before he walked away.
Guess she would get her answers tomorrow.
…
…
…
“Shito isn't giving you any more trouble is he?” Akira asked her.
“No,” Rei answered. “He actually apologized. What did you do to get him to do that? Shido has been tormenting me for a year and you just got him to backoff. Something my father, who is a police officer, couldn't do.”
“I would do anything for you Rei,” Akira said as he looked her in the eyes. “I want you Rei.”
“Eh want me?!” Rei exclaimed, a blush on her face. “Wha-You're so forward Akira! But we barely know each other!”
“I suppose getting to know each other is important, very well. We'll partner up tomorrow at the mall and once we're done we'll go out the rest of the day, how does that sound?”
“That sounds nice,” Rei smiled before sighing. “But I wish we wore our normal clothes so I could pick out a cute outfit.”
“Even in a uniform you look cute,” Akira nonchalantly said before he turned and walked off to the school nurse.
Rei felt her heartbeat skip a beat.
“Damn Akira really knows how to talk to girls!” Ayumu cried. “First Saya Takagi now Rei Miyamoto and Saeko Busujima!”
Rei turned to the crying boy. “Akira knows Saya?”
“He's her English tutor,” The boy said as he wiped the comical tears away.
“It makes sense,” Saeko walked over to them, a hand on her chin. “Akira has always had good grades, he's always at the top of the class. It's why he gets away with sleeping in class so much. But when it comes to English, he's even better than the teachers. It's like English is his first language and Japanese his second. I can see why Takagi would want him to tutor her.”
“Saeko, why do you want to join the Shogi club, if you don't mind my asking?” Rei asked curiously. Did the other girl have feelings for Akira? She certainly knew a lot about him.
“Akira did something to me, something amazing.” Saeko said, her eyes glazed over and a blush on her face. “He has to take responsibility?”
Eh?!
“Akira, you sly dog, teach me your ways!”
“Ayumu keep your voice down,”
“Sorry Akira…”
…
…
…
Rei Miyamoto smiled as she hooked her arm around Akira's. The rest of the shogi club was handing out Pamphlets with her and Akira pairing up. To the surprise of no one, they only managed to hand out a few them.
“Looks like we're done for the day, do you know any places where we can get something to drink?” Akira asked her.
“There's this little café that's really popular,” Rei said as she began leading him. “A lot of people at school have been talking about it. I've always wanted to go!”
“I guess we can try it,” Akira said as Rei happily led him through the mall. A few minutes later the two made it to the place, it was slightly packed but there were few empty tables.
“Oh welcome to our Maid cafe!” A beautiful young girl in a maid outfit was at the entrance. “We hope you have a wonderful time!”
“Thank you,” Rei said as she and Akira bowed. The girl quickly led them to a table and handed them some menus. “I think I'll have the strawberry slurpee, what about you Akira?”
“I'll get the same, I have no idea what any of the stuff on the menu is. Plus I think you have good taste so I have nothing to worry about.” Akira said nonchalantly. Who knew Akira could be so charming!
“Okay then,” Rei happily called over one of the maids and placed their order.
…
…
…
Miku Yuuki was bored.
Her latest boy toy had asked her out to a trendy new Café, since she had nothing better to do she happily accepted. But there was one slight problem, Tsunoda was boring. All he talked about was himself and how he worked out. Or how many fights he got into last week. Hearing it the first time was okay but this was like the fourth time he was telling that shitty story!
As the cute maid (not as cute as her) welcomed them, Yuuki spotted an interesting couple. Two people dressed in the Fujimi High uniform, on a Saturday at the mall? How interesting…
Coincidentally they were given a table just next to the couple.
Yuuki recognised Rei Miyamoto, they were classmates after all. But the Handsome boy she was talking to?
“What's that weirdo third year doing here?” Tsunoda scoffed as they sat down.
“You know him?” Yuuki asked. Judging by the tone in Tsunoda's voice he didn't like the other boy.
“That's Akira, the president of the Shogi club and he's into weird Zombie stuff.” Tsunoda said through gritted teeth.
Zombies? That's not a good enough excuse to hate someone-
“For some reason all the girls think he's hot! His stupid blank face pisses me off!”
And there it is.
Yuuki glanced at Akira and she could see why the girls loved him. “Oh I remember, a while back there was someone giving out weird flyers for a Zombie club or something like that. That was him?” A nod from her date confirmed this. “Eh? How can someone so handsome be so weird?”
Tsunoda's eye twitched at that.
“Forget about him, let's order some ice cream-
“Why is Miyamoto with him? Are they dating now? And what's with the school uniforms?” Yuuki asked as she smirked. Akira and Miyamoto were far more interesting than her date.
“I don't know but-
Yuuki ignored him in favor of listening in on the conversation between the other couple.
“Sōjutsu, what draws you to it? What made you want to practice?”
“When I was growing up, I tried a bunch of self defense stuff. My parents are police officers, well my mother was at the time and they wanted me to be able to protect myself. I tried judo, karate and a bunch of close quarters combat styles. But it wasn't for me, I just don't like getting close to someone in a fight. I like to keep them at bay, keep them at a distance so I can control them. I practiced kendo for a while but it just didn't feel right. When I picked up the spear for the first time I knew Sōjutsu was for me. Sorry I must be boring you with all this martial arts stuff.”
“No, I practice Kendo myself so I know what it's like to be passionate about something like this. I've seen you practice with the spear, when you do it, it's like an Angel dancing. Like you have wings, your feet effortlessly glide off the ground. Watching you with the spear, Rei, is simply breathtaking.”
Wow, Akira sure was smooth.
“Y-you can't just say stuff like that!” Rei blushed in embarrassment. “Anyways, why kendo?”
“Much like how Sōjutsu compliments your graceful nature, Kendo compliments my nature as a brute. The sword is like a third arm for me, with this demonic third arm I am unbeaten. Those who challenge me will always fall to this arm.”
“So you're the big bad demon seducing the pure graceful Angel huh?”
“That's one way of putting it,”
The more she listened the more Yuuki found herself interested in Akira. The school weirdo was apparently this mysterious badass who could charm a lot of girls.
As she watched Miyamoto smile and blush. Yuuki couldn't help but want Akira. Not because she wanted to be charmed like a naive girl, but because Akira looked like he could give her a good fucking.
Simple gal with simple needs.
“This ice cream is great!”
Oh right, she was on a date with Tsunoda.
“Say Tsunoda, do you want to watch a movie?” Yuuki asked, a plan already forming.
“Huh? A movie, I guess we could watch one.” Tsunoda frowned. “But isn't the food there crazy expensive?”
“Don't worry about that,” Yuuki dismissed.
Yuuki stood up and turned to the table next to her. “Oh Rei Miyamoto from school?” She gasped.
….
…
…
Rei narrowed her eyes at her fellow classmate and resident school whore. Why was she here?
“I couldn't help but notice some familiar faces when we got here, why don't we share a table!” Yuuki said as she grabbed a chair from the next table.
Rei could tell something suspicious was going on here, Yuuki and her were classmates but that was it. They were not friends in any way, shape or form.
“So you two are friends huh?” Yuuki asked as she sat down. The boy she was here with was doing the same as her, though he had a mean frown on his face. “I didn't know you were friends with an upperclassman.”
“I didn't know the weirdo had friends let alone a girl,” The guy mumbled.
…what the hell was this guy's problem.
Yuuki turned to Akira, a sweet smile on her face. “Hi, I'm Yuuki Miku.”
“And I'm Akira-
“The school weirdo, we know who you are,” Tsunoda laughed.
Rei narrowed her eyes at the boy before she turned to Yuuki. “What do you want, Yuuki?” She said,
“What,can't I sit next to my classmates and friends from school?” Yuuki asked innocently. “So Akira, what type of movies do you like?”
“I like horror movies,” Akira said as he slurped on his slurpee…
“Of course you would like them,” Tsunoda scoffed.
“Then we should all go see one right now!” Yuuki suggested. “Like a double date!”
“We're already on a date, that you've so rudely interrupted.” Rei said as she glared at the other girl.
“Then let me make it up to you, the cinema is great, you can sit next to Akira and be all naughty and no one would know.” Yuuki said with a smirk as Rei blushed.
“N-naughty? You can't say stuff like that!”
“Come on Rei, it'll be fun. Plus Akira likes horror movies.” Yuuki said before she leaned in closer to Rei. “Plus you can use it as an excuse to cuddle him because you're scared of the movie.”
“I…I guess we can go see a movie,” Rei said, much to Yuuki's happiness.
“Nice, let's finish up here and get going already!”
The four of them finished up their drinks and ice cream before going to the Movie theater.
…
…
…
The gods were firmly on Yuuki's side today!
There was in fact a horror movie showing. About an American family being haunted by a demon.
“Are you sure it's alright?” Rei asked worriedly. “I'm sure we can all put in-
“Don't worry about it, I can afford it. Besides I'm an upperclassman, I should be paying for you brats.” Akira said with a chuckle before he casually pulled out a large wad of cash. He then bought four VIP tickets and large popcorn and slurpees for everyone.
“I'm impressed Akira, the food here is very expensive.” Yuuki said as they made their way over to where the movie would be showing in a couple of minutes. She genuinely was, it seemed Akira had prepared to spend quite a lot on Rei when he had asked her out. Unlike Tsunoda who had whined at the fact that the food was expensive.
“I've been saving up for a while now, never got a reason to spend it.” Akira shrugged. “Until now.”
“What kind of weirdo walks around with all that cash for no good reason?” Careful Tsunoda, you're practically turning green from envy.
“I planned on spending it all on Rei, if she saw something she liked I would have gladly gotten it for her. Can't ask someone out and be cheap about it.” Akira replied. Unknowingly making fun of Tsunoda.
“Y-you didn't have to,” Rei tried her best to hide her blush behind her large popcorn.
“That's so romantic,” Yuuki said as they walked into the movie theater. They were then led up to the VIP section.
“These seats are quite comfy,” Rei said as she sat down next to Akira with Yuuki doing the same on his other side. “I guess that's VIP for you.”
“So Akira, what's your type of woman?” Yuuki asked. They had a few minutes till the movie started. Might as well fish for information.
“That's a loaded question,”
“Humour me,”
“Well to make it short, someone who can survive a Zombie apocalypse.” Akira said. Getting curious looks from both Rei and her.
“Of course you'd say that, I bet you'd like to fuck a Zombie.” Tsunoda scoffed.
“Sorry to disappoint but I'm not a necrophiliac.”
“What's a Necropolis?” Tsunoda Dumbleton asked. (A/N dear past me, is this a reference to someone or something? What is this? I'm leaving it here hoping one day I'll look at it and have an epiphany)
“Someone who likes dead bodies now shush!” Yuuki said to him, a glare on her face that made him shrink back in his seat. “Please continue Akira.”
“What I mean by this is, someone who can fight her way out of a bad situation. Someone who can endure hardships and come up stronger. A fighter.” Akira said before he turned. “Someone like Rei.”
…he really was smooth with it.
“D-don't say embarrassing stuff like that,” Rei stuttered, a blush on her face.
The lights went on and the movie began playing.
Whether the movie was scary or not didn't matter to Yuuki. She was more focused on Akira and Rei. Though judging by the way Tsunoda had his hands covering his face and peaking through his fingers, it was probably scary.
Yuuki gently put a hand on Akira's thigh. Glancing his way for a reaction.
As expected he was looking down at her hand. He was about to say something when a loud noise from the movie interrupted him.
A gasp from Rei drew his attention to her.
Yuuki could barely see but she could make out the sight of Akira grabbing her hand in his. He then leaned into her and whispered something that Yuuki couldn't hear.
The other girl seemed to calm down a bit before she turned back to the Movie. Though Yuuki noticed that Rei still held Akira's hand.
With a tch Yuuki turned back to the movie.
…
…
…
“We can leave if you want,”
“N-no I'm fine!” Rei lied. “The movie isn't that scary!”
A violent noise made her flinch and she clenched Akira's hand tighter.
The movie was scary and she wanted to leave, she'd glanced at Akira and he seemed invested in the movie. Everytime something scary happened on the screen, she would flinch and gasp. Causing Akira to stop watching and gaze at her worriedly.
“J-just keep watching! I'm fine really!” Rei said with a shaky smile.
She felt really bad for disturbing him…
“Would it be too forward to ask you to cuddle with me?” Akira suddenly asked, making her turn to him with wide eyes.”That way you can feel safe and I can watch the movie.”
“Eh! C-cuddling in a place like this? W-what if someone sees us?” Rei asked as she stared at her hands.
“If that's what you're worried about, it's dark in here, no one will see.” Akira said reassuringly.
Taking in a breath, Rei nodded to herself. This was it, this was her chance!
She slowly got up from her seat and placed herself on Akira's lap.
At first she was rigid, her first time on a boy's lap had her sitting with her back straight.
As the movie went on she couldn't help but get comfortable, she was now leaning back in his chest, her head under his chin. With Akira wrapping his hands around her midriff. Rei ignored her large popcorn in favor of enjoying Akira's warmth. Plus the damn thing was too big for her anywhere.
Soon enough the movie was done.
And sadly they had to leave.
“Are you guys sure you don't want to come with?” Yuuki was being pushy about going to explore more of the mall.
“Maybe next time? We have to meet up with the rest of our club.” Akira said, before he turned to her. “Come on Rei, I messaged Shizuka so everyone should be waiting for us outside the mall.”
Rei nodded, smiling lightly when Akira held her hand in his.
The two then made their way outside where an impatient Ayumu, Saeko and nurse Shizuka were waiting.
“Where have you two been?! We've been worried sick-
“Ayumu Rei left some popcorn for you,” Akira said as she stepped forward and handed the angry boy the large popcorn.
“F-for me? Oh Rei you didn't have to!” Ayumu had tears in his eyes and he began eating the snack.
“I got you a bottle of water as well.” Akira said but was completely ignored by the other boy.
“Akira, are you done with your games?” Saeko asked as she narrowed her eyes. “You know what I want.”
Rei narrowed her eyes at the other girl. That sounded very sexual to her.
Akira looked at Saeko for a moment before turning to nurse Shizuka. “We're done here, so let's go.” He said as the older woman smiled.
“Okay, but you should know Akira. I managed to give out all my pamphlets!” The bubbly nurse said as gave a cheer, her frankly huge breasts bouncing.
“Good work Shizuka,” Akira said as he smiled at the blonde. “We'll talk later, for now let's go back to school.”
Everyone got on the bus that promptly took them to school.
“I…I had a good time,” Rei said with a blush. She and Akira stood at the gates of the school “I hope we can do this again.”
“Yeah, you can count on it.” Akira said with a small smile. “Can I have your number, so we can text later?”
“Sure no problem!” Akira had taken out his phone and Rei quickly put her number in it. Making sure to add hearts to her name. That wasn't too forward right?
With a wave the two separated.
Though she was a bit bummed, Akira didn't give her a goodbye kiss. Maybe after their third date? Hopefully Yuuki wouldn't interrupt them again.
….
…
…
“The school is mostly empty, so we can fight all we want.” Akira said as he got into a stance. His shinai held firmly in his hands.
Saeko nodded and got into her own stance. After a whole day of playing along with his whims, she was ready to prove herself to him. She gripped her shinai tightly and moved.
Akira did the same.
There was a loud sound, like thunder, when their shinai met.
Saeko did not hold back.
And neither did Akira.
They met in fury of blows. Their shinai clashed against each other. Saeko had learnt not to underestimate Akira. She went in full force with the intention of drawing blood.
…
…
….
Saeko was left panting hard, her body in pain as she stared up at the form of Akira. He too was out of breath but unlike her, he stood on his feet.
“I…I see,” Akira said, voice sounding like he was out of breath. “Looks like I have more to improve upon?”
Saeko stared gobsmacked at him. Did he not realize that he had won? Her body was in pain and she was on her knees while he stood above her in victory. Yet here he was, claiming that his current strength wasn't enough
“I'll see you in class on Monday, don't worry about the shinai we broke. I'll take care of it.” With that Akira turned around and walked away.
Living behind a shocked and baffled Saeko.
Just who exactly was Akira?
