24 - Busy Night

Tsubaki-chan and I went out the dressing room to be greeted by Seiryu (The older twin) who told us about a group of people waiting outside. We immediately went to the others who were already preparing to go out.

"You kids stay here" I heard Kanji say as we got closer to them, he's talking about us students. I saw Haruka stand up, Suo and Nirei also standing with him. "I was the one who beat up their asses, I'm already involved so we're going" 

I got closer to Haru and nodded my head, agreeing with him. "You. You're staying here" I turned my head over to Haru, eyebrows furrowing as I looked at him with disbelief. "Wait what?"

"You stay here with Tsubaki and guard Shizuka" He repeated, looking at me as if it was nothing. "No,I'm going too....Pleasae..?" I begged him with my eyes, his eyes only looked at me suspiciously before turning his head away. "You might get hurt"

"Look who's worried" Suo chimed in, his lips twisting up as he pats Haru's back gently. "I think he just doesn't want that to happen again" He continued, pointing over at the band-aid on my forehead.

'Hmp. Fine I'll sneak off later' I thought as I looked away and pursed my lips. "You guys be careful and you better win or else" 

"Of course we will, right Sakura-kun?" Suo said, looking over at Haruka who was looking elsewhere. "Yeah"

"You better return our First-Years here safely" I heard Tsubaki-chan say which made me look over at them, they were talking to Kanji.

"Mhm, Let's go everyone" He replied, turning away before heading out with the others who'll fight outside. I walked over to some seats, sitting over it as I felt defeated somehow. 'Should've used my powers on him!'           A/N: (Using Haruka's weakness on him, aka: her pouting face)

The Sakaki twins seem to be entertaining us here at the dressing room, they're quite funny but I can't just laugh it off when Shizuka looks so out of it. Tsubaki has been talking to her but her response is far off the topic, like she's not listening.

"I'm sorry I'm going to the bathroom!" Shizuka excused herself and ran off. 'I have a bad feeling about this'

"I think Shizuka's involved in their fight" One of the twins said to Tsubaki. 

Tsubaki smiled and just put on a mask on their face before responding. "Still doesn't change the fact that she's a good person"

"Hey." I started, making them three look over at me as I called them out. "I don't think Shizuka ran off to the bathroom"

[At the scene of the fight]

[Third Person POV]

"I want you guys to head back to the bar" Kanji said, not facing the three first years. 

"Huh?! What are you saying?" Haruka said clearly flabbergasted. 

"I promised Tsubaki that I'll return you guys safe and sound. So...will you let us be the stars of the show?" Kanji said while looking back, smiling over at the three.

The fight continued amidst their conversation but the other Roppo Ichiza members look pretty exhausted already.

"Sakura-kun, Let's head back and get Shizuka to a safe place" Suo said, getting Haruka's attention.

"STOP!! Please stop.." Shizuka suddenly appeared, gasping for air as she just ran all the way to the scene without telling anyone about it.

"Ah. That's the girl right? So she just came here herself huh? That means we beat the game" A guy with the hair bun said who was one with group said.

"Why are you here? Go back-" Kanji

"I will go with you...you guys will stop if I go with you right?" Shizuka said as she looked down at the ground, she doesn't want other people to get hurt because of her.

"I can't let you go with them! I know I'm powerless but I can see that that the people here strongly care for you and I don't want those feelings to suddenly wash away...I won't let you go with them." Nirei butted in, standing in front of Shizuka with his arms wide open, blocking Shizuka's way.

"Thank you...I understand...I treasure everyone here, everyone accepts me..takes care of me..I was surrounded by amazing people..plus...I fell in love for the first time. I can't stand it when these people get hurt because of me..so please..let me go" Shizuka said while exclaiming her true feelings.

"Shizuka-san! If you'll come with us then we'll end this!" The man with the bun said, shouting over at Shizuka.

Shizuka ran past the three, they tried to stop her but she got out of their grasp. "Sakura grab her!" Kanji said as he saw Shizuka's running form.

But then she was stopped when someone came in front of her, it's the Sakaki twins. Tsubaki and Himawari showed up just behind as Tsubaki started to speak.

"Goodness girl...you said you'll go to the bathroom but you just disappeared and ran off..you really scared us hun"

[Himawari's POV]

'I was right. She did go back here. Guess she felt bad and tried to give herself in..'

"Don't come any closer! I can't be here! I shouldn't be here! No one will get hurt if I go" Shizuka shouted as she looked over at Tsubaki-chan who was beside me.

"But is that what you want?" Tsubaki asked, their eyes softening as they looked at Shizuka.

Shizuka started to cry, her tears flowing down her face as she responded, "I want to stay here"

"I feel the same way" Tsubaki said, embracing Shizuka as she cried. 

"I'm sorry for dragging you all in here.." Shizuka continued to cry as she spoke, Tsubaki consoled her and wiped her tears away. "Don't sweat it, I'm doing this for my cute little sister!"

'Tsubaki-chan's really nice..'

"Sheesh..I don't know who you guys are but you just suddenly showed up here...that's so mean...and after hearing those dream and love crap about her, you guys just let her live the life that's not even for her?" The man with the bun said. 'Who is this shit?'

Tsubaki only chuckled which further confused the guy with the bun, "What's so funny?"

"You're just jealous of her aren't you?"

"Come again?"

"The type of guy who just trash about other people's dreams and hopes..almost all of them have a problem with themselves." Tsubaki looks more serious now..

"I don't get it and I'm too hungry to think, I'm getting dizzy" This bun dude said as he scratched his neck, continued to talk more as he looked over at us.

"I don't know what you guys think you can do with four more extra bodies but we'll crush you. The money bag's just in front of you boys. 

Get serious and crush them."

+ Sometimes wears a binder if her clothing doesn't hide her chest that well but hates the feeling of it so she often wears a sports bra instead.

+ Loves taking cold showers.

+ Likes the feeling of adrenaline.

+ Absolutely adores her brother (Haru seems to adore her more though)

After reading this fic, I want you to question yourself whether there was actually a Himawari Sakura in the series itself~
