After a (very) pleasant weekend, the couple was ready to start another week.

Natsuki had left on Sunday afternoon to spend some time at home keeping her promise to try and rebuild her relationship with her now on rehab father.

Monday morning the couple met at their usual spot and walked to school together, hand in hand just as they liked. Everything was going well, it was Yuri's turn to drop Natsuki in her classroom. The taller girl sent her lover off with the usual kiss and headed to her own classroom.

Natsuki entered her classroom and headed to her desk. However there was where her good streak seemed to be coming to an end.

Immediately, she noticed her desk was covered in some derogatory words. "Whore", "Bitch", "Shrimp", "Pathetic", "Idiot", "Die".  Among some others which purpose clearly was to make the younger girl feel bad, these words were all scattered on her desk waiting for her to see them.

Natsuki immediately started scanning her surroundings looking for someone that was maybe laughing at her face when she saw the words. Everybody there was minding their own business to her surprise. Not even a single one of them paid attention to her. On one side, it was good because she didn't really like being the center of attention, but she wanted to know who did it.

Reluctantly, the pink haired girl sat down and placed her stuff on the desk in an effort to hide most of the hateful words written there.

The guy with the school cap entered a few minutes later and headed to his desk in front of the pinkette. "What's up Nats, how was the weekend?", He asked before sitting down. "Great thanks. Hey, take a look at this", Natsuki said moving her stuff from the desk aside. Gensai leaned forward a little and carefully examined the wooden surface, as his smile disappeared from his face. "I take it you don't know who did it, do you?", the funny mustache boy said in a serious voice. "Not a clue, no one here didn't seem particularly suspicious when I found it", the shorter girl replied. "I see, wait up", Gensai said and then turned to face the guy next to them in the row to their right. "Hisao, did you see anyone come here and do something on Nats desk?", the guy asked in intimidating manner. "N-No, I didn't see anyone, I was one of the first ones to arrive", Hisao replied nervously. "Who else had arrived when you got here?", Gensai asked again. "Kaori and Ichiro", Hisao replied. "Alright, thanks man", Gensai said and headed to his other two classmates desks.

Around a minute later the school cap boy returned. "So, anything?", Natsuki asked eagerly. "Nothing, they also said no one came during the time they'd been here", Gensai replied scratching the back of his neck. "Crap, well that's assuming they didn't do it", Natsuki replied frowning. "I don't think so, everyone here know well not to mess with you, besides what reason would anyone here have to do that?", Gensai said with crossed arms. "Well, you're right about that, still this is annoying...", Natsuki sighed. "It is. Whoever did this though, probably did it either sometime earlier before anyone arrived or sometime during the end of classes last Friday and the weekend", the funny mustache boy said scratching his chin. "Yeah, probably", Natsuki replied.

"So what are you gonna do now?", Gensai asked. "Don't know, just deal with it while I found the culprit", Natsuki replied sighing as she placed her stuff on the desk again. "Are you gonna tell Yuri about this?", Gensai asked concerned. "No, at least not yet, I don't want to worry her unnecessarily, she's been so happy lately and I prefer it stays that way", Natsuki replied crossing arms. "Alright... Well I'll help you however I can too", Gensai said sighing. "Thanks man", Natsuki replied with a faint smile.

As the weeks progressed, more words started appearing on Natsuki's desk every day, some notes were also slipped inside her locker, usually saying stuff like "Go to hell", "Just die", "Nobody likes you",among other hateful sentences. However neither she or her delinquent like friend got a clue on who might be the responsible.

It was on next week's Friday that Gensai started noticing her shorter friend feeling slightly downer than usual, even though she managed to keep an appearance with her girlfriend to not worry her as she said, when she wasn't around, Natsuki's mood changed for worse.

Putting up with that hate which Natsuki believed had been left behind after clearing things up with her father certainly annoyed the young girl, to the point it started to feel like she actually was as worthless as her father once made her believe she was and it was just pity out of everyone lately to make her feel better saying otherwise.

The school cap boy thought his friend needed some help from the person most important to her now, so he decided to ignore her previous request of not telling anything to the purple haired beauty.

On that Friday, Gensai took advantage of being Yuri's turn to drop Natsuki in her classroom after lunch, so he headed to the taller girls own and waited for her to arrive to talk, away from Natsuki's eyes.

Yuri was approaching her classroom and noticed the school cap guy standing next to her classroom with crossed arms. As odd as it seemed she would not betray her polite nature and would go greet him. "H-Hello, Gensai", Yuri said in a polite tone. "Sup lady Yuri, come with me, I need to talk to you for a bit, it's about Nats", the funny mustache boy replied tilting his head to the side. "O-Okay", Yuri replied and obeyed following the guy to a not so crowded part of the hallways.

Gensai took a deep breath and started talking. "So, I'll cut to the chase because we don't have much time to talk either way. Someone's targeting Nats as they victim of coward and gutless bullying", the short ponytail boy said in a serious voice. "B-Bullying? Who is doing such thing?", Yuri asked nervously but at the same she started to feel angry at the thought of someone messing with her precious Natsuki. "We don't know yet. So far all they've been doing is writing hateful stuff on her desk and slipping the same kind of notes in her locker. Stuff like, and pardon my vocabulary, 'go to hell', 'whore', 'die', and so on", he said crossing his arms over his chest. "Why would anyone said that to her?! She is so amazing and-, I-I am sorry, since when has this been happening? And why hasn't she told me?", Yuri asked upset. "Since last week's Monday, and she didn't want to worry you. She said you've been doing great lately and didn't want to ruin your mood and stuff. But she seems like more depressed every day, when you're around though, she fakes it well", the school cap guy said sighing. "Still, we promised to face any adversity together!", Yuri replied more upset feeling her blood boiling at the thought of someone making her love suffer. "I know, that's why I'm breaking my promise of not saying anything yet, I believe she needs a hand from you to keep putting up with this crap while we found who's the spineless bastard behind it", Gensai replied trying to calm his friend. "I-I am sorry, and thank you. I think I know what to do", Yuri replied as an idea quickly came to her mind. "I think I could use your help too, i-is that fine?", the bookworm asked with her hands pressing on her chest. "Sure thing, what do you want me to do?", Gensai asked. "For now, c-could you give me your number? I will text you the details over the weekend", Yuri replied determined. "Alright", the delinquent looking boy said.

Throughout her weekend with her girlfriend as usual, Yuri managed to text the boy her plan.

Markov's demoiselle: Good evening, Gensai
Man among men: Yo
Markov's demoiselle: Umm, so about what we discussed... Could you buy some fast dry off spray paint for wood the color of our school's desks? I would do it myself but Natsuki is here most of the time and do not want her to know yet. I will pay you back of course!
Man among men: gotcha, what else do we need?
Markov's demoiselle: Next is arriving at school around 7:00 am on Monday before any other student arrives.
Man among men: Cool, but won't other teachers or staff in general be suspicious of us tho?
Markov's demoiselle: They will not. Remember sometimes teachers ask some students to arrive earlier to help them with stuff.
Man among men: oh right
Markov's demoiselle: Okay, so once there we will go to your classroom, you just help me out keeping an eye for me while I do the rest.
Man among men: Alright!

And so Yuri's plan continued with her telling Natsuki to walk to school alone just that day because a teacher needed some help and asked her to arrive earlier. Natsuki didn't protest thankfully.

On Monday morning Yuri got to her lovers classroom where the school cap boy who was not wearing the cap for a change was already there waiting. "Good morning, Gensai, umm where's your cap?", Yuri asked curious. "In my backpack, gotta try not standing out while we do this right?", the boy said. "Right", Yuri giggled. "Okay, so I will take it from here, you watch if any teacher comes, please. I will set a couple of books on two desks if that happens and we will pretend we are studying, okay?", Yuri explained. "Got it", Gensai replied with a thumbs up and so their plan started.

Yuri headed to her girlfriends desk with the spray paint Gensai got her. The shy bookworm took a second to read some of the awful words scattered on Natsuki's desk. Her blood boiled hotter than ever, cursing in her mind whoever dared to say such things about her wonderful and beloved Natsuki.

Yuri then carefully sprayed the paint across the desk hiding the hateful words for good. Once she finished, she pulled out a purple marker.

Around 20 minutes after their arrival Yuri informed Gensai she was done. Luckily no one came by during that time. "So how did it go?", Gensai asked. "Pretty well I believe", Yuri smiled. "Cool what did you do?", the boy asked curious. "Umm could you not look until Natsuki arrives?", Yuri asked shyly. "Heh, sure thing then. I give you my word as a man!", Gensai replied enthusiastically. "Thank you", Yuri replied chuckling. "What are you gonna do now though?", the funny mustache guy asked with crossed arms. "That is the last part of the plan, I will go hide inside the closet. Everybody should start arriving soon, when she gets here text me and I will get out of there silently", Yuri explained. "Gotcha", Gensai replied with his crooked teeth smile.

Around 10 minutes before 8 Natsuki finally arrived. The pink haired one greeted her friend and sat down trying to ignore if there were any new words on her desk, however she quickly realized the reigning purple color on her desk different from the usual black the bullies used. Natsuki then focus all of her attention on reading what was there.

In an impeccable and elegant handwriting she very well knew, new words were now scattered carefully across her desk. "Beautiful", "Pretty", "Awesome", "Wonderful", "I love you", among some others new words completely opposite from the ones she saw last time were there now.

A genuine smile crept on Natsuki's face as she felt a pleasant warmth inside her chest. Before she could say anything, the shorter girl felt a pair of soft palms being placed on her eyes. "Surprise", a soft voice Natsuki had come to love so much said from behind. "You're such a dork you know that?", Natsuki replied still smiling like a fool. "Hehe, but I am your dork", Yuri whispered on her lovers ear as she removed her hands from Natsuki's eyes.

The pink tsundere then stood up and hugged her taller girlfriend tight. Yuri hugged back until Natsuki slowly pulled away from the hug and sat down. Some of the other students there watched the sweet scene, some smiled, some were a little jealous, but everyone of them felt their hearts being warmed by this.

Gensai offered his seat to the taller girl while he went to talk to other classmates to leave the girls talk for a bit. "Let me guess, Gen, right?", Natsuki said smiling. "Yes. Still, you and I need a serious talk later about why did you not tell me about this sooner, okay?", Yuri replied poking her girlfriends cheek sweetly. "Alright, mom! You could've got in trouble if you were found vandalizing the school equipment dummy, but still thank you", Natsuki said blushing lightly. "You are welcome. Everything that is written there is the absolute truth anyway", Yuri smiled warmly at her lover. "Idiot", Natsuki replied chuckling. Yuri giggled.

Later that day, Natsuki put Yuri up to date about the situation. The taller girl didn't hesitate to take part in the situation and offered her help to her lover.

The following day however, new words did not appear on Natsuki's desk. The culprit had gone to the next level.

Natsuki entered her classroom and immediately noticed her classmates looking at her like she had something on her face, it was however something behind her what they tried to indicate her to pay attention to. Natsuki turned her back and looked at the blackboard.

"Natsuki is a bitch, not even her loser father loves her"

Natsuki felt a jab on her heart while she did her best effort to hold back her tears of frustration and sadness at the still painful memories of her past. She ran to the blackboard and with her small hands she tried to erase the words furiously while her classmates watched in awkward silence.

The school cap boy entered while she was still at it and helped his friend guessing what was the situation. Eventually they removed the statement and sat down with Natsuki clenching her fists furiously. "I now know who the fuck is behind this shit!", Natsuki said angry. "How come?", Gensai asked serious. "What was written there was something very private only two other people know, one of them being Yuri", Natsuki stated while she felt the humiliation of her most private secret, something she wanted to leave behind, now out to the public. "Just tell me who's the fucker and I'll fuck him up", Gensai said angry as well for the pain the girl that was like a little sister to him was clearly suffering. "Again, it's a girl", Natsuki stated.
