Chapter 08: Erika vs. Akumas
“Yabu-Chan… someone’s looking for you.” Takaki said as he stood at the open doors of the classroom.
School has ended and they were cleaning up the classroom when a girl came to look for Yabu Kota. Looking at the open doors of the classroom, he could see no one and he asked, “Who?”
After clearing his throat, he pulled Yabu out and pointed to a wall. “Can you see that shadow? There is someone behind the wall… she hid over there when she noticed me.” Takaki explained and patted Yabu’s shoulder.
“Oh… I see… you go ahead and lock up the class… I’ll be back soon.” Yabu said as he made his way to the shadow.
Clutching the paw of her bunny tightly, she dragged it behind her as she walked up the stairs, “Oi! Sakurai Ayame!” she heard someone called and turned around, “I thought that it was you…” Yabu said, pleased with himself, “So… you were looking for me?”
Ayame nodded shyly as their eyes met and muttered, “arigato.”
It took Yabu a few seconds to realize that she was actually thanking him for saving her from the girls and he laughed awkwardly as he explained, “Well… I just don’t like bullies… so it was nothing.”
Ayame nodded and waved an awkward good bye before she proceeded up the flight of stairs and that was when Takaki pounced onto Yabu, shocking him. “Who were you talking to?” Takaki interrogated, “Why are you smiling like that?”
Yabu tried to hide his smile as he explained, “Sakurai Ayame… she came to thank me for helping her.”
“Souka.” Takaki said as he tucked his hands into his pockets, “Well… I just hope you know what you’re doing.”

They were approaching the clubhouse when they heard some noises from the outside and when they have reached the door; they noticed that the lock had broke! They exchanged glances and upon opening the door, they found Erika and some men with her in the room. Not only that… their clubhouse had turned topsy-turvy! Just then, the rest of the Akumas arrived and Hikaru remarked upon seeing the mess, “Whoa… what happened? Did a tornado hit our clubhouse?”
“Get out of here.” Takaki warned, “Before we blow our tops off.”
A fellow schoolmate walked up to them and poked Takaki on his shoulder as she said, “We’re not leaving until you’ve learnt your lesson of dumping girls.”
Yabu then stared at the three guys with a smirk on his face, “You might want to reconsider that…” he said, “considering the fact that we have the ability to expel you… and… it’s three verses five even if there was to be a fight.”
Another guy then laughed as he flattened Daiki’s hair, “Ha! Ha! Whatever, I want to see how short guys like him fight me!”
Pissed off that he was mock about his height, Daiki grabbed the guy by the wrist and twisted his hand to his back, then kicking the guy on the back and causing him to hit the wall. “Who’s the one laughing now?” Daiki said with a frown on his face.
“Are you leaving while you still can walk… or do you want us to hurl you out?” Hikaru asked as he stared coldly at Erika.
“I just wanted an explanation!” Erika yelled as she went up to Daiki, “Why had you treated me like that?!”
Arioka turned away from her menacing glare and replied heartlessly, “As I’ve said before… you shouldn’t believe the words of an Akuma…”
“Just you wait! I’ll make you regret for dumping me!” Erika cried and stormed off.
Hikaru flipped his cell phone open and dialed a number, “send someone to clean up the clubhouse… NOW.”
“What’s this doing in our clubhouse?!” Hikaru picked up a baseball and passed it from one hand to another before tossing it over his shoulder… unknowingly hitting Taro.
“Hika…. ITAI!” Taro winced as he covered his forehead with both of his hand in agony.
“Ah! TARO-CHAN!” Hikaru exclaimed and wanted to go over to greet him when Taro backed off, badly frightened by Hikaru’s ability to injure him one way or another every time.
“Hikaru-Kun! Hikaru-Kun!” Taro yelled, terrified, “Stay put! Do not come near me! DON’T!”
“Aww… Inoo-Chan… Taro hates me!” Hikaru whined as Inoo smiled awkwardly and patted Hikaru’s head in consolation.
“Since you’re here… then help out with the cleaning.” Arioka said as he pointed towards the other end of the sofa, “Carry that end.”
Taro nodded without any thoughts and lifted the chair up along with Daiki to turn it the right way up, “Chotto matte! Why am I doing this?!” Taro exclaimed when realization dawned on him and suddenly took his hands away from the chair and causing Daiki to fall over.
“Itai!” Daiki cried, “Oi! Don’t just drop it without a warning!”
“Onegai!” Taro said as he bowed deeply in front of the Akumas ignoring Daiki's warning, “I need your help! You have to help me no matter what!”
“Well if you help us clean up this mess.” Takaki said coldly as he pointed at the disheveled room.
As everyone went back to doing their part to tidy the room, no one bothered Taro as he desperately tried to explain himself, “My twin sister! She’s got a boyfriend who’s cheating on her but…”
“But…?” Hikaru asked and they stopped doing whatever they were doing, “But… you didn’t want to tell her?”
“Hai…” Taro said, looking solemn, “it’s because… I don’t want her to get hurt… but… I was thinking… since you guys are the Akumas…”
“No.” Takaki interrupt him as he returned to his chores, “I’m sorry Taro-Kun but we don’t do good things such as helping your sister…”
“NO!” Taro said as he went up to Takaki, who had his back facing Taro, “I want you guys… to teach her boyfriend a lesson! Onegai!”
There was a moment of hesitant as the Akumas pondered.
“Well~” Yabu said with a smirk on his face, “If that’s the case… then it’s different ne~”
“I think we’re going to enjoy this…” Hikaru chimed in, exchanging glances with the rest of the Akumas.
“But you do know that you still have to help us clean up this mess, don’t you?” Arioka asked as-a-matter-of-factly.

“Paper Girl~~~” Takaki said in a singsong voice as he sat on the grass and did his usual routine to replying to PAPER GIRL… Megumi.
“What will you say today~?” Takaki, himself muttered as he took out the paper heart that is attach along with the folded slip of paper every time.
Yu, Are you a girl? Never mind… at least you are much braver than they are. They are horrible people! They think that they’re so cool, changing girlfriends every now and then… but I think that they are just cowards. They’re unable to face up to their true feelings and fears that is why they’re like that. They changed my way of dressing and they said that I’m an irritating person!
‘Megumi actually thinks that I’m a girl?!’ Takaki thought, “She’s pathetic.” He remarked as he took out his pen to reply her message.
Sorry to burst your bubble but I’m a guy and I’ve known the Akumas for a long time, they’re not as horrible as you think they are. If they advise you to change something… then you had better do as you were told if you really wish to get your revenge on Yamapi. Maybe if you look at them from a different light… they won’t seem that evil anymore.
“I really wonder if I should be doing this…” Takaki muttered as he folded the letter and placed it gently under the pebble again, “PAPER-GIRL obviously doesn’t wish to change herself so why should we even help her?!”
He stood up to leave when he saw a familiar figure walking towards him… it was one of those irritating girls who had dumped him in the past. Rolling his eyes, he started to walk away at high speed and halted when he hears someone scream, “Oh, look! Isn’t that TAKAKI-KUN!?”
Turning around, seriously irritated at the playgirl, he threw his bag over his shoulder and with one hand tucked in the pocket of his trousers, he asked coldly, “what do you want?”
The girl giggled and hooked her arms around her current boyfriend, “Oh, nothing… I just wanted to say hello to you… oh and here, beside me is my new boyfriend. So… I heard that you’ve become what they call… an AKUMA… I hope it wasn’t because of me!” she mocked with a honey-coated voice.
Letting out a deep breath and trying to maintain his coolness, Takaki tugged at the tie of the man and replied, “He’s wearing a tie… must be one of those salary man huh? Gosh… Yui-Chan… I bet that he’s in his… thirties? Heh… but I guess you’ll always prefer older guys ne… I’m sorry but I’ve got to go for a DATE now… BYE-BYE.”
Infuriated by his sarcasm, Yui yelled as Takaki turned around to walk away, “So it’s true then! You became an AKUMA just because I broke up with you! HA! How pitiful!”
Angered by Yui, Takaki turned back to face her, towering over as he glared at her menacingly, “what are you trying to do?” her boyfriend asked just at that moment and shielded Yui.
Takaki flashed a wicked smile at Yui’s over-aged boyfriend and grabbed her boyfriend by the end, muttering, “Let’s have a little men‘s talk, shall we?”
Curious, Yui’s boyfriend went along with him as Takaki guided him to the side of the lake and whispered, “Listen… she’s known to be a playgirl… and you have no idea how many guys had she dated before you! Seriously, I pity you. She’s going to…”
Yui cautiously tiptoed nearer to the guys and wondered what they were talking about when all of a sudden, her boyfriend marched towards her and started yelling at her! “Ichijou Yui! It’s over between us!” he hollered and pulled his ring off his finger, throwing it into the lake in disgust.
Takaki went over to Yui and gently caressed her face as he said, “As for you… just you wait and see… I’ll get my revenge… and you won’t like one bit of it.”
