The Keyaki mall was full of people like every day. This was the biggest entertaining center in this school. The kids with the money had to spend it. The Keyaki mall supported their desires. Even the broken students like us, usually came to this mall, for someone like Karuizawa's group or Kushida, they came here almost every day.

"Ayanokouji-Kun. What do you think of this dress?" Ichinose said while holding the pink lad dress.

"It's pretty, I guess. " I said. "I think it'll fit with your lace panty---I mean your style."

Ichinose didn't hear my words because she was looking at another wearing.

"It's pretty strange, you know?" She spoke up. "I thought you aren't the kind of guy who asks the girl to the date."

"Are you saying I'm a coward?" I said.

"You said it, not me." Ichinose smiled, she hold her clothes to the counter. "How can I say? In the manga, the character with dead fish eyes like you never ask anyone to hang out with him. They're usually asked or forced by someone. They always say it wastes my energy, I'm an energy conservative."

"I think I haven't told you yet. I want to smile. But I can't. My face's muscle was frozen. I can't even smile or raise my eyebrows though. I want to hang out with my friends too." I explained.

Ichinose laughed.

"What a pity boy."

"But the truth is, I don't come to Keyaki mall today because I want to hang out. I have to get my laptop back from the electronic center. " I said.

"So you don't want to go out with me?"

"No way, I just take a chance to go out with you. I can do my business and hang out with you at the same time. It's killing two birds with a rock."

"You're so cunning sometimes, you know?" Ichinose said teasingly.

"Well, it doesn't that much---"

"I mean your blackmail plan."

I turned my face to her.

"Come on, it doesn't like everyone can plan something this." She said.

"I don't think so, this's a shitty plan. If I'm really genius. I maybe plan something more complex than this. Maybe I called them to the special building. Show them the mock CCTV, and say the school hides those CCTVs. The school knows everything from start, and they just want us to solve the problem by ourselves. Then, threaten them to drop the suit. Something like that."

Ichinose looked at me with surprise.

"Wait. If you can think about that plan, doesn't it mean you're a genius?"

"Nope. I just randomly said it. Um, it's a good plan, isn't it?"

We walked to the electronic center. On the way, Ichinose met many friends, she greeted and talked to them. We had walked for only 2 minutes and we had to stop to talk with them. Luckily, we met none of my classmates.

We went into the electronic center around 5 p.m. The trial might begin now, I hoped everything would be fine.

I went to the counter. That employee who looked creepy wasn't there. The employee who greeted me was a girl with purple hair.

"Good afternoon, how can I help you?"

"Em. My name is Ayanokouji Kiyotaka. I got the laptop and the camera fixed here."

Ms. employee nodded and started typing something on her computer. A few moments later. She handed me my laptop and Sakura's camera.

After I paid my bill, I asked Ichinose to go out.

"What should we do next?" I asked her.

"Um. There is a maid cafe in this mall, what about it?" Ichinose suggested.

"I never go to a maid cafe before---"

"Ayanokouji!!"

I heard the yelling from behind. When I turned my face in its direction. I saw Yamauchi walking toward me.

Oh, shit.

Why did it have to be Yamauchi?

"What're you doing here----" Yamauchi saw Ichinose beside me. "I--Ichinose-San, why you are with Ayanokouji!?"

I was frozen. I couldn't let anyone know about my fake relationship with Ichinose. I glared at her and prayed to god.

Don't say anything, Ichinose.

"We're friends." She said with a smile.

"Friends?"

"Yes, Ayanokouji-Kun and I met each other in front of Keyaki mall by chance. So I asked him to go to a maid cafe with me."

Ichinose lied naturally as she breathed.

Ah, Ichinose. Please be my real girlfriend.

"A maid cafe!?" Yamauchi's eyes sparkled.

"Hm. Yamauchi-Kun like a maid cafe?"

"It's my life. " Yamauchi said with a serious face. "Like gravure idol, baseball and girls."

Oi, calm down. Could you see the disgust on Ichinose's face?

Ah, you couldn't see. Ichinose never showed a face like that.

"So, why don't we all go together?" She said.

Yamauchi nodded harshly. "Oh. It'll be great!"

He let Ichinose walk first and followed her.

"Ichinose, a maid cafe----Tch, why can't we cut Ayanokouji off?" He mumbled.

I can hear you.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Ichinose, are you sure that cafe is here?"

"I have to tell you, I have no idea where are we now."

It was a half-hour since we met Yamauchi. And we still didn't know where was that cafe.

Ichinose was the only one who know it but she had never gone there before. While she was trying to find the way, Yamauchi didn't stop talking. He told Ichinose about his story again.

"...Yes, Once in Koshien, I get the Albatross for 5 times."

I wasn't a pro baseballer but I was sure Albatross is golf's word.

We walked without any idea for minutes, and we end up walking in the back of the electronic center. It was very secluded. No one, no sound.

Ichinose looked around confused.

"Where're we?" She mumbled.

"I guess we're at the electronic center's transport door," I said.

"I don't think there's a maid cafe here," Yamauchi spoke up.

"We should go back to the front door and start again, How do you think, boys?" Ichinose suggested. We nodded. So she turned back.

But suddenly, we heard a voice.

"P---please stop doing this."

Although that voice was stuttering and very low, I knew whose voice is.

"Ayanokouji-Kun?" Ichinose called my name after I ran to that voice.

I saw two people confronting each other in the alley, so I hid behind the wall. Ichinose and Yamauchi followed me. I put my finger to my lips as telling them to be silent.

I looked into the alley.

Sakura Airi was there. Before she is that creepy electronic center employee.

"Sakura?" Yamauchi mumbled. "Isn't that Sakura from our class?"

I nodded without any word.

Sakura looked at that man's eyes with fear but she was still looking. I was surprised.

And I was more surprised when Sakura said without using her notebook.

"Please stop sending me these letters too! It's bothering me!"

Sakura took the letters out of her pocket and threw them on the floor.

"Why do you do that?" That man said. "It was full of my heart! This is destiny! Shizuku-Chan. It was destiny that make us meet each other here! Shizuku is love, Shizuku is life!"

"Shizuku-Chan!?" Yamauchi frown. "Did he mean that Shizuku-Chan? Sakura's Shizuku-Chan? No way. It's impossible."

I decided to lie, but before I said anything...

"Yes, why I haven't known before!? Their breast size was exactly the same! Their thigh! Their hair length! Even their skin color are the same shade! Sakura is Shizuku!" Even Ichinose couldn't hide her disgust.

Yamauchi turned his eyes to me.

"Have you known it Ayanokouji? You had to know it. That's why you ask me about Shizuku-Chan!"

Why are you smart only with something like this?

I nodded with no choice.

Yamauchi looked into the alley and exclaimed. "That man---Kusuda Yukitsu!"

"Do you know him?" Ichinose asked.

Yamauchi nodded with a serious face.

"He is like a legend, in a bad way. He used to be a pro baseball player. He won the player of the year 7 times. But 15 years ago. He was arrested for being a sexual offender. He sexually harassed his fans many times. And he is the reason that my dad disappeared---" He said with anger. "Couch Obi told me, he murdered my dad because my dad get in his way to be the greatest baseball player of all time. Kusuda made up my dad's disappearing and no one could arrest him, because they were no evidence!"

It looked like Yamauchi had a deep vengeance on Kusuda.

In the alley, Sakura shook with fear.

"Don't communicate with me again, please." She asked Kusuda.

He shook his head.

"This is fate, Shizuku-Chan. I won't let you go. You just don't know what love is. I will teach you!"

Kusuda flinged to Sakura. I knew immediately what he was trying to do.

I, Ichinose, and Yamauchi ran out of our hiding place.

"Stop! Kusuda!" Ichinose shouted.

Kusuda stopped and turned his face to our way. "Oohlalla, Another booba!"

That creepy man.

"Stop doing pervert thing, Kusuda. Otherwise, we will send you to jail. We three will be the witnesses." I spoke to him.

He opened her eyes wide and screamed with fear----No, he didn't do it.

Kusuda just laughed like he just heard the most hilarious joke.

"Haha! What ridiculous."

"Nothing ridiculous here!" Yamauchi shouted.

"Do you think I have to fear the high schooler? Let me tell you, kid. If you don't have any memory, you can't be the witness."

Kusuda raised his hand then the baseball bat flew from nowhere into his hand---

What did I just see!?

Kusuda swang his bat and grinned.

"Only a little smash can erase your memory." He glared at Sakura who stood behind him. "You better don't run away, Shizuku-Chan. Or I will smash your friend's head until it looked like the watermelon."

Yamauchi gnashed.

"You said like I will let you do that!" He raised his hand into the air. The other bat flew to his hand.

What the XXXX happened to this fiction!?

Kusuda raised his eyes with surprise.

"Oh, you can do it? Who're you, kid?"

"My name is Yamauchi Haruki! The son of Yamauchi Anaki! The new star of Koshien!"

When Kusuda knew Yamauchi's name, he laughed insanely.

"Haha. I told them I believe in fate and destiny! And they call me crazy! Who's crazy now!? I meet you and Shizuku-Chan by chance! The fate is real!"

"It's real and I lost much money for its Gacha!" Yamauchi screamed and flung to Kusuda. Yamauchi tried to smash him with the bat. But the former baseball player could defend it.

The sound of the bat striking was loud over that alley.

"So we're in the Shonen's light novel?" Ichinose mumbled.

"I don't think so. Why do you look so happy?"

Ichinose was a Shonen fan anyway.

Yamauchi and Kusuda swang their bat professionally. It looked like they're dancing.

"The way you swang the bat---Who is your Couch?" Kusuda asked.

"Obi Ichi!" Yamauchi shouted and tried to attack Kusuda's knee but he could dodge that attack. Kusuda jumped and thrashed to Yamauchi's head. Yamauchi could roll away. But Kusuda's bat beat his back.

"Ouch," Yamauchi yelled.

"You're very young. " Kusuda said. "You have to learn more to reach me. Obi is a good Couch, but he isn't as good as Date Seto."

"Emperor of the dark? That evil man will never reach my Couch!"

"Student show his teacher's ability." Kusuda smiled and started pushing to Yamauchi.

My classmate had to retreat but Kusuda came closer and closer. He attacked Yamauchi with no mercy. We could see who was better now.

Yamauchi became disadvantageous. He couldn't strike back. Kusuda's attack was too powerful.

I decided to run toward Sakura. But Kusuda's bat stopped me. It almost hit me. "Don't play around here, little boy." He said.

I had to retreat and kept looking at the fight.

Yamauchi finally made a false step. Kusuda could hit his wrist. Yamauchi screamed and fell down.

"Yamauchi! / Yamauchi-Kun!" I and Ichinose shouted.

Yamauchi tried to stand up but his opponent pointed the bat at him.

"There is no escape. Don't make me destroy you." Kusuda said. Yamauchi tried to crawl away.

"Haruki, you do not yet realize your importance. You have only begun to discover your power. Join me, and I will complete your training. With our combined strength, we can end this destructive conflict and order all girl's bodies."

"I'll never join you!" Yamauchi screamed.

"If only you know the power of horny. " I thought he knew enough. "Obi Ichi never told you what happened to your father."

"He told me enough! It was you who killed him!"

Kusuda shook his head softly.

"No. I am your father."

Yamauchi shocked.

I shocked.

Ichinose shocked.

Sakura shocked.

Yamauchi's mouth shook with disbelief. "No. No. That's not true. That's impossible!"

"Search your feeling. You know it to be true!"

"NO, NO!!!!!!" Yamauchi cried with anguished.

"Haruki. You can't win your own desire. I know who you are. I know who a Yamauchi is. It runs in our bloodline. It is your destiny. Join me, and together we can rule Shizuku-Chan's body as father and son. Join me. It is the only way."

Yamauchi looked confused. I wasn't sure how he would decide.

But if those two fought with us, we had no chance to win.

I had to risk.

Luckily, the risk always comes with luck.

I grabbed Yamauchi's bat and shouted.

"Oi. Kuzu-da. Your opponent is me!"

(TL notes: Kuzu means trash in Japanese. The author used this to make a joke. I can translate it and make it funny in English. But I won't. Any problems?)

Kusuda laughed.

"You little bastard think you can fight me? Even Haruki can't!"

"No try, can't tell."

I flung to him.

Kusuda grinned and prepared to swing.

At that moment, I knew I couldn't dodge his attack.

This attack would smash me in the head.

"Ayanokouji-Kun!" Sakura screamed.

Then, I saw it. My old enemy.

Spider, somehow, crawled in Kusuda's face.

I hated spider.

With my instinct, I hit the spider as hard as I can.

The spider could dodge my bat, Kusuda's face couldn't.

Homerun.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The police came after ten minutes. And arrested Kusuda Yukitsu---Yamauchi Anaki.

Yamauchi looked sad when his father and the police car drove away.

"Are you okay?" I asked him.

"I---I don't---." He said. "But if some sexy girl hugs me, maybe I'll feel better."

He glared at Sakura who walked toward us.

"Ayanokouji-Kun!!!" Sakura cried and hugged me.

Yamauchi became dead.

"W---what're you doing, Sakura?"

"Why do you go in danger like that!? What if he could hit you?"

"I die, I guess," I said and rubbed Sakura's head.

"Don't do this again." She asked me.

"I won't, Sakura, I won't. " My heart almost stopped beating when I saw that bat. If I couldn't hit him on the face, my head would blow away for sure.

"But Sakura, why you came to confront that man?"

Sakura smiled with her tears.

"He stalked me for a long time. And I have to stop." She said. "It's because of you, Ayanokouji. Because you didn't give up to help Sudo-Kun. I don't want to give up befriending everyone too. For doing this, I have to confront my fear first."

I nodded.

"You did well, Sakura. If you don't realize. You're talking properly."

Sakura flinched. Her face became red.

"A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-"

Ichinose who standing behind Sakura smiled with mercy. I cocked to her.

"Ayanokouji-Kun!!!" Someone screamed.

I turned my face to her. Chihiro was there, looking at me with anger.

"Chihiro-Chan!" Ichinose looked surprised and scared.

"What the hell are you doing, Ayanokouji!?" Chihiro stopped using Kun. "You hug with another girl in front of your girlfriend!!"

I just realized I was hugging Sakura. We released each other. Sakura seemed to be going to collapse.

"Girlfriend---What do you mean?" Yamauchi was confused.

Chihiro paid no attention to him.

"You womanizer!" She insulted me. then, she came closed and slapped me on my face.

Ichinose opened her mouth with shocked. Chihiro grabbed her hand.

"Come on, Ichinose-San, I'll find a new better guy for you!"

"W--What do you mean?"

"You have to broke up with this shit!" Chihiro said.

Ichinose shocked. "What!?"

"This guy flirted with another girl in front of you. He is no good!"

What wrong with this girl? She forced me to date Ichinose and then forced me to brake up?

"Come on, Ichinose-San!"

Chihiro forced my ex to walked away with her, before she was gone, Ichinose turned around to me.

"Good bye, Ayanokouji-Kun." She said softly.

I bowed my hand to her.

"Goodbye Ichinose."

After Ichinose gone, Yamauchi turned his face to me with disbelief.

"What the fuck is going on!?" He shouted.

"I will tell you later."

Sakura pulled my shirt.

"What's wrong, Sakura?" Sakura raised her notebook.

Are you really dating with Ichinose-San?

"Yes." I nodded. "But no more."

Hooray!

She wrote on her notebook and erased it immediately. She blushed a bit.

"Waggggggggggg!!!!!" Yamauchi scremed. "Why you always get the girl, Horikita, Kushida, and now Ichinose?"

I decided to ignore him. Although I hadn't have feeling to Ichinose yet, but broking up effected to my heart too. Ichinose was a good girlfriend. Since she was my first girlfriend. I could say she was the best too.

I sighed and turned my face to confront the sky.

(TL's note : Kanojo means girlfriend in Japanese.)

Author's note : Author means someone who wrote the story.
