I can't move. Gods I hate being restricted! This is my dream! I can do as I please! "Hey Slut!" Am I...at our meeting spot? Why are the rainbow bitches here? "Stay away from our leader!" Who are they yelling at? It's grating on my nerves.

"I don't understand, we're just friends." A-Ayano..? 

"Yeah right! You're stealing our Onii-chan!"  They're cornering her! The hell are they doing to her?! 

"It was better when you stayed out of everyone's way, now your just a nuisance!" Quit yelling at her! Let me go to her! 

"Do you want to know what we do to people who get in our way?" The blue hair bitch slapped her where I assume she is, she touched her! I'm going to kill her! "We put them in their place." 

Don't you dare hurt her! Don't you DARE hurt my GIRL!

"Right ladies?" They pounced on her all at once. Slapping, kicking, punching, and cutting at the girl I couldn't see! Why isn't she fighting back..!? Fight Ayano! Don't let them do this to you!

"Stop! I didn't mean any harm!" FIGHT BACK! 

There! I can see her! H-her..! Her hands are tied behind her back..!? This isn't a fair fight! The hell is with you people! Yui grabbed her hair, that same old wicked smile curled up on her face as she recorded the fight on her phone! 

"Maybe now you understand, why you don't mess with us, bitch." She slammed her back against the brick wall! Stop this! Stop hurting her!

"I'm sorry for whatever I have done, please untie my hands." How can she keep a straight face through this! Your bloody and bruised Ayano! How are you so calm about this?!

"Like hell you are!" Just leave her alone! 

I don't want to watch this! Just let me go to her! Let me protect her! Let me help her! I don't want her to go through this! She doesn't deserve this!

I blinked, and the girls and ropes disappeared, all that was left... was my girl sprawled out on the ground in a pool of her own blood... No... No..!

NO! AYANO! 

"Senpai..." Its okay..! I'm here! You're going to be okay! "I'm sorry..." Don't you dare say that! Don't close your eyes! Fight, Ayano, fight! Don't leave me! "I'm sorry..." 

"GAH!" Oh gods! Stupid nightmare! What time is it..? Only five..? I ain't going to be able to sleep after that... "Ugh...my head..." I can't text her right now, she's probably safe in her bed. Gods... There is some one else I can talk to.

Oi info

Hello again cousin, how might I help you today?

U know dam well what I want

I told you a thousand times, I cannot disclose that information.

Yur name is info and u won't give me it

Yes, and by the way, your spelling hasn't gotten any better.

Quit changing subject!

Or grammar.

I oughta rip that club of yurs apart and show u to everyone!

...

Tell me her info!

I can't.

However, is there something else that I can give to you to appease your anger?

Wat u talking bout?

First! Fill in the blank.

"I sell information and        "?

Oh gods..! 

Her... Panty shot

Ding ding ding! We have a winner!

What do you say, cousin? Will this work instead of her information?

I can't do that to her..! How the hell did this guy even get her panty shot!?

I'm gonna refuse...

Sadly?

Yes...

A shame, honestly.

I apologize that we couldn't find a neutral ground. 

I have to go. Talk to you later.

All I want to know is if she already likes somebody... Hell, I'd flip for joy if I knew she was interested in me! It's rare to find someone who'd stand up to me like she does. She's got guts, determination, spunk! Not to mention...how damn beautiful she is... Unlike all these other plastic surgery, dyed hair, models. She's natural. She doesn't need fake hair or to paint her face to be perfect.

She already is.

I wish I had gone to bed sooner, however Osano decided that he needed fifty more rematches so he could try to win. After my shift last night, I honestly just wanted to go and check on Taro-Senpai. That encounter with the brunette customer left me feeling very paranoid, as if something bad was going to happen if I didn't... However, he did leave a very generous tip. Perhaps if I manage to run into Amao at the store again I'll be able to avoid him from paying for my noodles. 

But that man from yesterday... He seemed like he was lying. I feel that he does know me. But when and where have I met him before? This is frustrating... almost as frustrating as the fact that another one of Kizano's roses are starting to wilt. These flowers are not following the rules of nature very well... If anything all of them should have been dead or beginning to wilt. Not: One dead, one wilting, and the rest alive and healthy.

I'll have to look into that later. Right now I need to finish Osorō's bento, grab my stuff, and get ready for when Osano gets here. I'm just going to buy some food from the vending machines at school. I feel like Amao is going to have me taste test every last single thing he makes... At least I'll have the acquired taste for what good food tastes like. That way, I can make everything perfectly for my Senpai!

I'll cook, clean, work, and defend him! Who else would he need, if I'm destined to be his perfect wife! Of course if he wishes to work that's fine, just as long as it's not to strenuous on my Taro! We'll be the perfect couple! The best newlyweds! The role model married couple! No oNe WiLL SToP uS FRoM BeiNG HaPPy! No oNe! 

"Ayano! You ready to go! We're gonna be late, idiot!" Except this guy... 

"I'm ready." I grabbed by bag and made my way outside, he was standing a short distance away staring up at the sky. "Looks like it's going to rain." He turned to look at me with his usual scowl.

"Yeah, did you forget your umbrella? Or do I have to-Oh My Gods!"His eyes widened as he stared down at my legs. "Your knees! How did they get worse!?" Oh, I must I forgotten to put on my thigh length stockings. My knees were covered in scabs yesterday so I used my longer socks to cover them. Looks like they still aren't healed yet.

Osano dropped his bag and practically rushed me, "Osa-kun, I'm fine." He knelt down in front of me, his eyes were blazing with anger and his hands were gentle as he traced the outline of the scrape.

"Like hell you're fine! They're huge Ayano! How are you not wincing in pain!?" He gently pushed against the center one of the areas, even though the pressure was minimal. It still brought some discomfort. I could feel myself involuntarily wince, causing my friend to go ballistic. "Why didn't you tell me about this!?"

"Aso-senpai took care of it, I fell during our run, remember?" He stood to full height, the usual redness to his cheeks were gone.

"I know you Ayano, you're not that clumsy." Yeah, tell that to the other guys... "Did that jock do this to you." I'm detecting this as a threat towards the sports club leader. 

"No, I ran into Hanakō Yamada." His eyebrows furrowed, and his pupils shrunk. "It was purely an accident." He stared into my eyes for a while, the moment seemed to drag for an eternity. It was starting to become very uncomfortable.

He then took a step back and sighed, rubbing a hand over his face. "Fine, but if those things start to hurt you I want to know immediately! Okay?" I nodded as he looked away, his usual blush returning to his face. "Good, just don't start complaining every five minutes or I'm going to drop you onto the street!"

Drop me onto the street? What does he mean by that?

"Stay still." That is when my question was answered and he swept me into his arms. "D-Don't look at me like that! I'm just making sure we get to school on time! Geez! It's not like I care about you!" He looked away, the usual blush that was on his cheeks spread to his entire face. 

He then started walking to school, along the way people kept staring at us or would start whispering about how we must have been a couple. At first my friend's idea seemed like a harmless gesture, now it appears that the whole school thinks me and my friend are a couple... what if this information gets to Senpai! He'll think I'm dating Osano! 

Worse yet...what happens if this rumor reaches Info-Kun or Osorō's ears..? Info-Kun will mock me and say I'm getting off task or something. But Osorō... He was hinting at Osano being his rival, the others as well... Will Osorō try to kill Osano? Or was the delinquent just joking around the matter?

I don't know what I should do, I could be a jerk to Osano and tell him to put me down. But I'd rather just stay the way I am, though I'm not much of one for comfort, I'm quite relaxed. And it seems as though my friend is happy as well. Besides, I avoided his confession last Friday. With luck all signs of him wanting to date me will perish.

We can still be friends, heck if Senpai is okay with it Osano could be our best man. Now that I think about it, who is going to be my bridesmaids? I don't exactly have any female fiends to ask. And I'd rather not have my mother be one of my bridesmaids... That would be awkward... Perhaps his sister? 

I better get acquainted with her. After me and her brother start dating of course. 

But who will propose? In this day and age it doesn't matter if a female proposes. But I'd feel like the luckiest girl in the world again if he proposed. I'd feel even better if he asked me out first. Proposing comes after dating. But knowing the guy carrying me...he would get sick of waiting to find a chance to ask me out and propose instead of doing it properly. I've seen enough romance movies to see what might happen to me if I'm unlucky... 

I suppose I should try to find a girl suitable for him. That way I won't have to worry about him trying to take me away from my Senpai. "Hey Ayano? Oi! Earth to dummy!" 

"Huh..?" Did I fall asleep..? "Are we at school?" 

"Yes! Now quit sleeping on me and get up!" I rubbed at my eyes trying to get rid of the fog that invaded my vision. He set me down gently, he seemed hesitant to remove the arm around my shoulders. 

"Thank you, Osano-kun." 

"Tch! Whatever!" He rolled his eyes and crossed his arms across his chest. 

"Ayano!" The blush quickly faded as he turned towards the tanned male rushing to greet me. "Hey! How's your knees doing?" He bent down and lifted my leg up which threw me off balance for a moment. Luckily for me, Amao was right behind me to catch my shoulders. "They're looking better! Thank goodness!"

At least the cooking club leader looked normal again, he had his apron right where it should be, wait... Where's the red armband? "Morning, Aya-chan." Amao grinned down at me, while Aso traded legs to look at my other one, and Osano was glaring at both of them.

"Morning, Amao-Senpai. Thank you again, Aso Senpai." Aso gave me a quick grin before going back to his inspection. 

"Okay!" Osano looked like he was going to rip a head off at any moment. "First of all! You!" He pointed down at Aso who had lowered my leg and remained crouched as the orange haired male yelled at him. "You are the one who took her on the run and got her knees scraped! This is your fault! And you!" He then pointed to Amao, who at no point had taken his hands off of my shoulders. "The hell are you calling her Aya-chan! It's Aishi-chan to you! And both of you! Let go of her!" 

He finally took his hands off of my shoulders and placed one one Osano's after stepping over to him. "Feeling better now?" All said with a smile, I think there is something wrong with this guy...

"Um...sure..." Osano looked at him, seeming just as weirded out as I was. Aso also stood up and grinned at Osano.

"Sorry 'bout her knees! I should have been watching where she was going. If I would've known she was going to be blindsided I would've stopped her." Osano seemed confused by both males, but he propably didn't feel as near as confused as I did when my knee was being lifted up again causing me to fall back into another persons arms.

"Darling! Who would ever scratch up your legs like this!?" Kizano decided that he needed to be a part of this as well, odd... Looks like he changed his hairstyle. As for the person I had bumped into.

It was Oko, his eyes were wide and there was a light pink blush coating his cheeks. "S-sorry..!" He let go and started to retreat towards the school mumbling more apologies. But when he let go, the purple haired brat decided to switch to my other leg. 

Thankfully, Osorō was passing at the moment and I fell against his toned chest. "Oi! Watch what your doing pipsqueak!" He glared down at me, but nonetheless he held onto me and kept me steady. Very closely to the hard abs hidden under the last few buttons of his shirt.

The others became wary as soon as they saw the tall blonde. If anything they seemed nervous that he had a hold on me. Given this chance I quickly grabbed the bento out of my bag and slipped it into his. He was the only one who noticed thankfully. "Listen... Shidesi-san... Lets not do anything rash alright..." Amao held his hands up in a peaceful gesture.

"The hell happened to the girls knees." They all seemed to be nervous.

Except for Aso... "Oh. That was my fault." He said, then he flashed a grin at the moody delinquent. Kizano quickly stood up and got out of the way. 

Osorō placed me firmly on my feet, I could practically feel a killer behind me as he stalked towards the tan male who seemed to finally feel the depth of the situation. "You're dead when I get my hands on you!" 

"Bye Ayano, see you later!" With that he ran for the hills with a angry delinquent hot on his tail. Well that was interesting. Now if only the other three were with the two of us on Saturday. Then I'd have four less boys to worry about. 

"Um...darling..? Are you associated with that filthy criminal?" The other two turned to look at him, then back at me.

"Not particularly, no." They all sighed in relief, much more to my confusment. 

"Ah, Aishi-chan. Just the underclassmen I was looking for. Do you mind following me for a moment?" Did I literally just encounter all seven of the males who may or may not have a crush on me in literally under fifteen minutes? I think I set a record.

"Not at all Saikou-Senpai." The other three watched as I walked away with the student council Vice President. Please dear gods above if you exist, let there be zero sheets of paper in this encounter.

"I'm afraid I'll have to postpone or reschedule our rendezvous for lunch. It appears we have a new student and the school board thought it would be wise for me to show him around lunch. I hope this doesn't upset you." Hallelujah! I've been saved! Now I can just ask Info-Kun for the answers I desire!

"It okay, I understand." Now I have more time to watch my Senpai! 

"Good, I was hoping you could help me with him." Do what..? I was free from you a moment ago, now I'm roped back in? Seriously. "I just require you to take him to class, I will take him off your hands when lunch starts." Well it isn't that bad. I'll just drop him off then go check on Senpai. 

"What's his name?" I'd rather get to know him quickly, if he's gay and likes guys like my Senpai. Then I'm going to have to send him back to his old school. 

"Moi Husbando." If this boy looks anything like Mai Waifu, I will quickly decline.

It's bad enough we have a faraway eyed gamer in this school, two would be a nuisance. "I can handle this." We entered the student council room where a hooded figure was laying his head on his crossed arms on the table. 

"Husbando-san." He looked up, his blue eyes observing the two of us as if he was wary. He reached a hand up and removed his hood revealing blonde hair that was quite oddly dyed green at the ends. He then removed his earbuds that were playing some sort of American music. He didn't have a school uniform yet, so he was wearing a orange button up shirt under a blue jacket. There was a strange assortment of bracelets or the like on his right wrist. As well as a pair of blue jeans and sneakers. "This is Ayano Aishi, she will be taking you to your class." 

I don't think he understood a word the student council president said... He blinked and looked between the two of us confusedly. I offered my hand towards him, hoping he understood my gesture. He looked at my hand and stood, before giving it a firm shake. He started to speak, but I could barely understand him. I tilted my head and shook, hoping to get across that I was confused.

His head dipped down, as though he was ashamed. I started to walk away and gestured for him to follow. He got the message and walked after me. Megamo sighed in relief and walked further in the room. Good, now I can take out my phone. I stopped, causing him to get confused with me as well. I pulled up my internet and quickly opened up a random translation application. I showed him my phone after quickly converting my Japanese into English.

Hello, my name is Ayano Aishi.

His eyes lit up at my message, a grin tugged up at his mouth as he whipped out his phone as well. 

Hello Ayano, my name is Moi. Thank you for doing this.

It's no problem, I'm going to lead you to your class.

Okay, now I understand.

Where are you from?

America.

I see, why did you move here?

My father got a high paying job here... I was dragged along.

I'm sorry to hear that. Do you not know how to speak Japanese?

I know a little from anime...

Okay, that's better than nothing. 

At least your understanding... That weird bob hair dude didn't get it...

I agree he can be a pompous jerk at times, but he means well I assume.

Are we in the same class?

Yes. You can sit behind me if the teacher allows it.

That would be nice. Thank you again.

You're welcome, follow me.

Okay.

At least he's polite. I lead him to our class before pointing at the seat behind me beside Osano. 

Here's where you shall hopefully sit. I have some errands to run, I'll be back later.

Okay, I understand. See you soon.

I nodded and headed towards the courtyard. I need to see my Senpai, it's been too long since I've seen him last time. Hopefully Kokona isn't trying to steal my man away! He's mine! She can have Riku! Anyone but my Senpai! I turned the corner to...see him being approached by a girl I don't remember taking a picture of... Is that one of the absent female club leaders? Because if so, I'm fine with it so long as she doesn't like my Senpai!

I need a picture...

I snuck behind a tree and turned off my phones sound, then I carefully took a shot of her smiling face. Now that I'm closer, I finally see the mint green apron and handkerchief. As well as the club leaders red armband. So she was the sick girl in the cooking club. Now I just have to wait for Info-Kun to send me the information. 

Looks like you finally encountered Amai, you might be interested in this;)

Thanks.

I didn't even have to look down after reading his text... She likes my Senpai... I'm so mad I could scream! I got rid of Osana! I have a guy picked out for Kokona! Now I have to deal with this tiny little brat!? Are you kidding me!?

I need to get away from here. I can't let my emotions take totall control of me. I'll kill her in front of my sweet, innocent Senpai if I do. He won't like that. It's a good thing I'm in the cooking club now. This way I can get more information on her and think up a good idea to get rid of her. I could pair her with a male if I can, that's less messy. 

Or- "Oh! Aishi-chan!" Kokona..? "Do you mind helping me for a moment?" Am I by the drama club..? Odd. 

"What do you require?" She looked back and forth down the hallway, almost nervously.

"Can you help me study this script? Before he comes here..?" He..? 

"Kizano?" She nodded, I guess this could help me out with pairing her up with Riku. "I guess I can for a little bit." Her eyes lit up, she reached out and drug me inside.

"Thank you so much! You won't regret it!" From there we went over the strangest play I ever encountered. It followed two girls. The one she was playing was stuck in a time loop, and in this loop she kept getting murdered. I played the murderer. In the end she killed me out of revenge and was sent to jail. 

I will say that I didn't regret it like she said. I got a bunch of new ideas of how to get rid of Amai. Fake suicide, kill her with scissors, a katana, kitchen knife, shovel, baseball bat, saw, dumbbells, kill her in the air conditioning unit, bully her to suicide, poison. Oh so many beautiful options! 

"Thank you again, Aishi-chan! My friend asked me to help out here and Kizano told me I had to have this memorized by club time if I wanted to join... They've been needing more members." So the drama club has been floating on thin ice, that's hilarious. "You're not bad, we need one more member to stay on Megamo's good side... Would you like to join?"

Hell no. "Sorry, I already joined the cooking club. Maybe next week." She looked down in disappointment. "Though I do know a guy who is interested in joining." 

Her eyes lit up in curiosity, "You do? Who?"

"Riku Soma." She grinned and nodded.

"Okay! Do you mind sending him this way later?" Of course not, I'll get rid of your affections for Senpai in no time!

"Sure. I have to get going. I hope I was of some assistance." She waved goodbye as she looked over her script again. Before I knew it I was sitting next to a very annoyed delinquent leader. Something tells me that he did not catch Aso. I guess Aso gets to live another day. A shame honestly. I could have had more room to breathe if he was dead.

Though I guess it does help to have a sports member as my personal coach. Even though he doesn't focus much on his surroundings to make sure his friends don't run into random people. Not to mention he has a vey nicely toned abdomen. Though he wasn't the nicest pillow, I wouldn't mind laying on his abs again. 

Wait... Did I just compliment him..? 

Am I getting attached to my male rivals..?

That's impossible!

 But if I was, what does that mean between me and Senpai..? Will he ever notice me..? Or is he blinded by all of these stupid female rivals of mine? Will I just be cast aside..? Shoved down to where no one notices me again? Will my light be stolen away again? I don't want to lose this world of color! I like this life! It's vibrant and exciting! 

But if I were to like my male rivals... Why would I?

Osano's a easy answer, we've grown up together. We know nearly everything about each other. Not to mention when he's not being a annoying jerk he can be quite sweet at times. If I were into heroics, he'd get a boost from taking care of me when I fell into the ocean.

Amao is just a sweet character all around. He puts nearly everyone before himself and barely expects anything in return. A true gentleman. Besides, his soup was good, now I just imagine the rest of his cooking to be fantastic. To add, I could feel the beginning of abs earlier.

Kizano...um... He's very passionate about acting. I could imagine if he did get serious with a girl without calling her a peasant every five seconds he would be just as passionate with her as he is his hobby. Plus he could carry me, muscle.

Oko... He...uh... He's not seriously interested in me, is he?

Aso seems like the type to be very compassionate over the one he likes. Taking small matters, such as my scraped knees, and blowing up the problem tenfold. Not to mention those abs.

Osorō, he's a big softie on the inside. No doubt about it. Besides that, he's very protective over the person he likes. A bit overly protective... I'm not completely clueless. He beat up one of his gang members because she tried to kill me, he shielded me from that lightning strike, and tried to kill Aso for being there when I scraped my knees. Not to mention, muscles everywhere. 

Megamo, he uh... He's sincere. Cares about his work. I hear he works out regularly.

There! Is everyone happy! I stated why I might like these stupid, pompous, condescending jerks! I will never truly like one of them! I'm just theorizing! My heart belongs to Senpai, and Taro only!

I need to stop worrying about these seven. I need to focus on my studies and a plan for the day! Looks like the teacher left Moi behind me and we're going over biology. Great, stabbing techniques bonus. Now for a plan.

After class, I guess I'll explain to Moi what's going to happen. Then text Riku a plan for today and tomorrow. Afterwards I'll go get some food from the vending machine and eat with Osano wherever he wants to eat. Go back to classes. After school, I'll follow Amai to the cooking club and "get to know her".  Afterwards I'll go to work then go to home and finish any leftover assignments and try to figure out Amai's plan for tomorrow. Then get some answers from Info-Kun about what on earth Megamo was avoiding yesterday. 

Sounds easy enough. Of course, my plan yesterday was easy enough. Until my life was ruined by seven boys with a stupid crush on me. I would be fine if they would leave me the hell alone! Honestly, can't they go back to their old routines? Now that would be nice. 

It'd be nicer if I knew where all my time had disappeared to as well. Before I knew it, it was already lunch time. I guess I better "talk" to Moi. I reopened my internet and showed him my simple message.

Hey.

Hi.

The "weird bob hair dude" is going to show you around. Try to do this with him. If he tries to confiscate your phone tell him I told you to do this. I'll take the blame.

Oh...okay. Thanks, Ayano!

He grinned at me before relaxing back in his chair, "What on earth are you doing, weirdo?" Osano had watched us type messages and seemed more confused than I was as of how to communicate with him at first. 

"He can't speak Japanese." That was all the explanation needed before he nodded once. "So where we eating today?" His blush reappeared quickly, Moi noticed and typed another message.

Are you two dating?

Osano then began to blabber a stream of words, something along the lines of us not dating or how Moi should mind his own business. The blonde male just smiled and typed yet another message. 

He gets flustered very easily, doesn't he?

I nodded and grabbed my friend's hand, which thankfully stopped his stream of words and caused an even brighter blush to consume his face. I waved goodbye to the waiting male and dragged my friend along outside of the classroom. "So?" 

He quickly looked up at me, he was staring at our hands before. "S-so..?" 

"Where do you want to eat?" I could see the excitement dim slightly in his eyes, but him being him he ricocheted right back.

"Tch! I-I don't care! Let's just eat in the courtyard I guess! Dummy!" I nodded, letting go of his hand, then started to head towards the lockers to grab some cash for the vending machines. I heard a sigh behind me as I walked away from him. It doesn't matter. He gave me an answer and that's all I need. Thankfully I managed to avoid all of the other males. But upon opening my locker I was surprised to see a bento sitting right in the middle of the subspace. 

I'm pretty sure I didn't make two... Did I? I only remember making one for Osorō... Strange. Oh well. I have food and that's all that matters. 

Oh right! Riku!

Soma-kun.

Oh! Hi

After school I need you to join the Drama Club. Don't interact with Kokona yet, just join.

Alright, I hope this works...

Trust me, it will all work out.

Alright, that's two things crossed off my list. Six more to go. 

I walked into the courtyard to find Senpai rightfully in his place, and Osano sitting by a tree looking up at the sky. At least Amai isn't here to ruin all of my plans. "Did you make me this?" Osano jumped, turning his head swiftly before a bright blush, yet again, found its place on his cheeks.

"N-no." Quit lying to me! Quit liking me!

"Are you sure about that?" I raised an eyebrow down at him. He crossed his arms and looked away.

"Geez! Yes, I'm sure! What!? You think I'm stupid or something? You're the hopeless one!" And there's the annoying comment of the day, thank you!

"Okay, I was just making sure." I sat down beside him and began to eat. "So where's your food?" He shrugged, his gaze directed towards the sky.

"Eh, I wasn't really hungry. I left it in my locker." Right. Yes, of course. Like I should not think that I'm eating the only bento you made because you somehow noticed I gave my bento to Osorō. Yeah, I totally believe you. 
"I see." 

"Ayano..." Now what... "Are the delinquents...out to get you because you bumped into Osorō last week..?" Seriously..! "Not that I care! If they are, handle them yourself! But... I was just curious..." Stupid, lime steak delinquent! Now he and Amao think I'm a target for a gang of school bullies.

"No, at least not that I know of." If anything I'm creating anarchy in the ranks. 

"Oh." That's it. Oh..? That's the response I get? "I almost forgot," I finished the bento and wrapped it up quickly before letting my hands flop in the grass. "What did you mean on Saterday..? Y'know... About how me and you would 'talk about it'?" What is he talking about..? 

"Do what..?" I looked at him, to find him nervously fidgeting. 

"About...us being together?" Oh My Good Gods! I completely forgot I said that to his little sister! I would have hoped he would have forgotten! Crap! My face feels warm! What do I say!?

"Osano... I-" 

We were then hit by the conceited tone of Kizano. "Darling! There you are!" You know, I think this is the first time I'm actually glad to see him. "I needed to talk to you about that referral you discussed with that one peasant girl." 

He stood in front of me, looking down with that smug little smirk of his. Osano then stood up and stood in between the two of us. "Oi! Oujidere! Can't you see we're talking!?" 

"You can finish talking with my Juliet later, right now I need to discuss important matters with her!" He flicked his hair back, causing his cape to catch momentarily in the breeze. 

"We were talking about something important as well!" Important to you, maybe. Important to me, not so much. "You can talk to her over my dead body!" Well this is going to take a while, I might as well see if I can become 'friends' with Amai while they yell at each other. 

"And what was so important, tsundere, hmm?" I quietly got up and headed back inside while the two still bickered behind me.

"N-none of your business!" Honestly they sound like an old married couple.

"It's my business when it comes to my princess! I'm going to discuss things with her and that's final! Come along Juli-..? Darling?" Bye! Thanks for the diversion! Now I can finally protect my beloved Senpai from that witch with a spatula! I was lucky for once in this whole endeavor and ran into zero of the males on the way to the cooking club. 

Upon entering however, I was suprised to see Amao and only Amao in the club room. Where's Amai? "Oh! Perfect timing. Would you help me decorate this cheesecake?" What is a...cheese cake? Is that what those wheel like blocks of cheese are called? The thing in front of him doesn't look like a block of cheese. 

"I've never decorated before." He grinned, and reached into one of the cabinets to reveal a pink apron. 

Yay...pink. "Sorry about the limited color options. The other girls already took their pick." Dang mind reading jerk... 

"It's okay, I can deal with the color." He nodded and extended his hand out towards me. I took the limp fabric and put my head through the whole. I attempted to tie the straps together, but no matter how hard I tried I couldn't quite seem to get the knot to stay. 

I froze feeling a pai of warm hands gently take the strands away from me. "Allow me, Aya-chan." He tied it neatly, before he surprised me again by taking out my ponytail. I spun around and snatched it out of his hands. His eyes widened as he looked down at me.

"Sorry! Did I startle you?" A light bit of blush painted his cheekbones as he grinned widely. "Force of habit I guess, I was going to make you hair a little neater of none of the stands get into the icing.

I have this strange feeling that that wasn't the only reason... Nonetheless I hesitatingly gave him back the band and turned my back to him. "I apologize for acting so defensively." He chuckled as he directed me towards a chair, I sat as he ranked his fingers gently through my hair. I suppose he's looking for knots.

"It's alright, Aya-chan. I should have asked for permission first." Looks like he's not the perfect nice guy. "So how exactly did you scrape your knees?" Oh my gosh, my knees are fine! 

"Aso-Senpai and I were running together, and I ran into someone by accident." Simple as that.

"Oh? That's it?" Is he also thinking that Aso did this to me on purpose? "The way everyone was freaking out earlier made me feel like something absolutely awful happened..."

 Gee...thanks... 

I froze feeling his warm breath tickle my left ear, "I'm just glad that you're okay." His voice was deep and husky in that low whisper he used, I felt cold finger rank against my spine causing an involuntary shiver to run across my skin. What...the hell...was that!? I gripped the chair tightly as he stood to his full height again and continued to mess with my hair. 

I felt another wave of heat attack my face as that deep voice kept bouncing around my head. What is this feeling..? Why do... Why do I want him to keep speaking in that tone..? If anything I would rather have Senpai use that sort of power over me. But... Why do I want the man behind me to use it more? It must be a spur of the moment sort of thing.

"There. Perfect!" He's using his normal voice now... Thank goodness, it's not that I didn't like it. But I'd don't want to experience emotions through my rivals. The only feelings I should have for them is rage and disgust. "A shame we ran out of time to finish the cake..." Wait is it time for class already? "I'll see you after school Aya-chan."

"Thank you, Amao-Senpai. See you later." I walked a normal pace out of the cooking club room but as soon as I was out of his eyesight I rushed towards the bathroom to try and and get rid of this blush quickly. Seems like I'm not the only one... "Haruka?" The twin-drill was wiping water off of her red face.

"Aishi-chan? Are you okay? You're face is red!" I ignored her for the moment and splashed some cool water onto my face from the faucet. "Did...did Amao-Senpai do something to you..?" Huh!?

I turned to face her, "How did you know?" She looked down at the pink apron on me then back at my face with a quirked eyebrow. "Right... What about you?"

"Hm? Oh, Kizano just ticked me off thats all. But what did Amao do to you to make your face so red?!" She looked a little bit excited over my blushing reaction.

I wiped the water of my face as I answered. "I don't know. His voice was husky...and..." Her eyes widened and a large smile emerged.

"You're lucky." How the heck am I lucky..? "You're probably the only girl he has ever had a crush on." Is it that obvious?

"Crush..?" Her look of happiness turned into one of confusion.

"You don't...uh... Nevermind! I'll explain tomorrow. We better get to class. See you later!" Does she now think I'm 'dense' as well? Just what I needed... I guess I should head to class before I become tardy. I barely made it in time as the teacher began her lesson. It was a good thing that I made it a habit to keep my phone on silent and the screen as dim as possible. 

Looks like someone is trying to seduce you, honey~

Seduce?

...

You know, sometimes it cute when you act so dense. Other times it becomes annoying...

YES, seduce! You know, like bow-chicka-bow-wow?

And that means?

Sex you idiot.

Amao wishes to be intimate? Why?

Why not?~

OKAY. We're done with that conversation! Moving on to focus on my studies!

Oi pipsqueak

Why. Just why.

Yes?

Wat did blondie do to yur knees

Aso didn't scrape my knees, I ran into someone by accident and fell. He wasn't an influence in what happened to my legs.

So yur clumsy

Not really.

So yes

I'm not clumsy.

Riiiiiigggghhhttt

Oh btw thank for the lunch wat should I do with the box?

You're welcome. Just leave it by your post, I'll pick it up before I leave for work.

The maid café...

Lol! U dress up as a maid for tips!

Yes...

That's priceless! Yur body so ain't fit for a maid outft 

Are you calling me fat?

I'm joking pipsqueak

Though I do want to see this!

I'm so coming over tomorrow!

Please don't. It will be humiliating enough to have to greet you...

Wat u mean?

When you enter the doorway I have to address you as master.

There was a lengthy pause, I rolled my eyes and tried to figure out the math equations in my workbook.

IGOTTOGO

Well that's interesting. The big tough guy is embarrassed. Trust me the same reaction happened to Osano the first time he entered the shop. Though I didn't care then, I can look back now and chuckle at his response. 

I had been there for about a week and he had come in for the first time, so now knowing how to address costumers, I bowed to him and simply said, "Welcome back, master." His face was a red hot beacon, and he had ran away like he was suddenly set on fire. Now that I'm thinking about my past... Was I truly emotionless..? I did fantasize about finding the guy of my dreams ever since my mother told me about my family's history.

I guess I'm just a bit...listless... Like...I had never breathed before. When I met Taro, I was awakened. I could breathe! But...Unless I'm around my male rivals or specifically him, I feel listless again... Like there's something missing. That's why I need Taro, he makes me feel alive. He's the prince I hoped for when I was young. He's my air I breathe. I need him.

I don't know why him. But he is the one I need. He saved me from wandering about. He's my life. And no one else can have him. I NEED him... No one can have my Senpai... I can't live without him... I won't let any rival take my air..! I need Taro! I can't lose him..! I won't lose him!

I need to stop thinking about this. There's too many emotions flowing through me... Why are my eyes stinging like this? Am I...going to cry? No! I can't! I can't let people think I'm weak! I can't let Osano see me like this! He'll tell my mother! 

As much as I love her... She's a bit more Yanderu than I am... Heck, she's more deredere than I am... I'm just...a yandere. The bare minimum of the two. She's the truest of the yanderes, a sweet outside with a tormented inside. She's more lovesick than I am. I just need him, she desires and cherishes my father to no end. 

"Hey! Quit daydreaming! It's time to go home, idiot!" Oh, class is over. 

"I joined the cooking club." His eyes rolled as he slapped a hand over his face. 

"No, really! I would have never guessed!" He shook his head as he headed towards the door. "If that Amao guys does anything to you, I want to know pronto!" Does talking to me in a husky voice count as doing something? 

Oh no! I have to go back to that! Oh my gosh! Am I going to be alrigh-"Ayano?" 

"Husbando-kun?" He whipped out his phone and started to text rapidly. He looked concerned as he showed what he translated.

Are you okay? You seemed disturbed earlier... 

I'm fine, Husbando. Just thinking about someone important to me.

Your crush?

Can I trust him? He seems nice enough, but I don't need another male rival... He noticed my distress and typed up another message. 

You don't have to tell me who they are, just know you're not alone. 

You too?

Sorry if I seem moody... I just can't stand the thought that I'm here and she's training for boot camp... I need to see her..! I'm going mad with worry!

I feel the same way with my crush...

Looks like I found someone like me.

I'd love to discuss more but I have to get going.

Bye, Ayano.

I better hurry before Amao starts searching for me...

"Let me get this straight. You want me to try and get her to open up about that incident, because you feel like you'll do something crazy if someone's hurting her. Right?" The tall male in front of me nodded, a noticeable blush rising up on his cheeks. Poor thing, he's scared of pushing her away! "Don't worry Amao-Kun, I'm sure I can get close her."

"Thank you, Amai-chan. I owe you one!" He smiled brightly as he pulled me into hug. He really likes this girl! I can't wait to meet her. "She's here! " He whispered. He let go quickly and went over to the fridge to grab his cheesecake, I think he specifically made it for her. It's so sweet of him! 

The girl that entered was slim and had doll like eyes that reflected the world around her. Yet...despite the life they reflected she seemed so lifeless... "Hi, you must be Aishi-chan!" She turned towards me and nodded before going to the sink and washed her hands. Okay...maybe she's shy. "Amao told me so much about you! Oh! Welcome to the cooking club, I'm Amai Odayaka. But you can call me Amai if you like." She nodded again as she grabbed a spare handkerchief and tied it around her head.

This is going to be tough. She's closed off everyone around her... 

"So! What made you join the cooking club?" She looked up at me, for a moment I thought I saw a glare...

"Amao-Senpai asked me to join." Oh! Perhaps she did glare! Not at me, but she's a bit mad at Amao! Did he force her? If so, I'm going to have a chat him. "What will we be doing today, Amai-Senpai?" She is very polite and well-mannered, that's a good sign!

"Well, since I just got back, I thought it would be fun to just make whatever we please! What are you good at making?"

"Noodles." The was a awkward pause between us as I waited for more. Maybe it's a good thing she came here...

"Well, that's a start!" Her gaze left mine as she observed the room. "Is there anything in particular you would like to learn how to make?"

"Muffins." I think I'm getting somewhere! Kinda...

"Then that's exactly what we're going to do tomorrow! Me and you!" She froze slightly, before nodding and looking at the table. Maybe she's not the best at socializing? 

"Aya-chan?" Amao said to her with a warm, inviting grin. "Would you like to help decorate the cheesecake now?" She looked over at him then down at the cake in front of him. 

"Sure, Amao-Senpai." Looks like she warmed up to him, that's a good sign! If he can get her to warm up to him then I can become friends with her also! She seems like one of those people who are really nice when you get to know them. 

"ONEE-CHAN!" I was still looking at the two, Amao was used to their screams. Poor Ayano, she froze at the other girls excitement. "You're back!" I better attend to my members. 

"Hello Koharu! Hi Yui! Mei! Hello! Hi Yuna! How are you Saki?" Wait... Someone's missing. "Where is Kokona?"

"She joined the drama club..." Saki said with a sigh, I feel a little bad for her... Those two are inseparable! 

"Well. We all know that she looks up to Kizana." Everyone nodded, I feel like Kizana will chastise her for stealing her hairstyle... When she gets back from vacation of course. Seems like most of the club leaders are gone. I found it weird, but there's nothing I can do about it. 

"What's the plan for the day?" Koharu asked, they seemed happy to have me back.

"Whatever you would like!" They started to talk amongst themselves, giggling here and there as they helped each other put in their aprons. I smiled and turned to find some ingredients for cookies. Wait, why is Yui smirking at Ayano? 

Yui has always been the different one in her group. It concerns me that sometimes it looks likes she's using them for information rather than conversation. She elbowed Mei, and nodded in the direction of the quiet girl. Mei turned to Yuna and whispered in her ear. Yuna frowned and talked quietly to Koharu and Saki. 

What are they gossiping about? Does Amao know about this? 

Is she...being bullied by my members?

A/n: If Yandere-Dev can add his Waifu, I can add my Husbendo! 

Ok...so my drawing isn't the best... But I'm satisfied with my results. Have a good day/night!
