Chapter 18: Daiki
“Ah…. Inoo’s lips…” Hikaru whispered dreamily to himself during lesson as he unconsciously doodled Inoo’s name all over the borrowed textbook… the textbook that belongs to… Taro.
“Hika-Chan… are you done copying?” Taro whispered frantically, for fear that Yamaguchi would turn back any second now to check on their work.
“TARO!!! WHY ARE YOU TALKING!?!?!?” Yamaguchi hollered just as Taro had predicted and everyone in the class stared at him.
“Ah…. Sensei…. He was just….” Hikaru tried to explain as Yamaguchi approached Taro angrily... or perhaps, upset by the fact that she had been ignored by Yabu Kota previously.
“Inoo Kei… Inoo Kei… Inoo Kei… INOO KEI!?!?!?!?!?” Yamaguchi screamed as Hikaru grimaced and made a face at the innocent Kei.
“Kei… you have an admirer!?” Hikaru whispered…. He had absolutely ZERO recollection of writing Inoo’s name on Taro’s textbook.
“Taro… no wonder I don’t see you hanging out with girls….”
“No! It’s not that!!!”
“Taro… so that’s why you’re always looking at Inoo…”
“I DON’T LOOK AT HIM!!!”
“Let's not all be afraid of Taro…”
“DON’T~~!!!!”
“Taro…” Yamaguchi added in “you’re… homosexual? But its alright, there is no need to be shy about that because…”
“I’M NOT A HOMO!!!! HIKARU!!!!! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE THIS TIME!?!??!?!?!” Taro screamed at the top of his voice, eyeing at Hikaru with tearful eyes.
“I didn’t do anything….” Hikaru whimpered as Inoo secured his arms around his best friend.
“Good boy♥” Inoo said and patted his best friend’s head as Taro bawled in horror.
“I’m not a homo~~~~~~”
~*~
“Hey, Hika!” Daiki called out to his friend when they assembled in the clubhouse, “What’s up with Taro being homo?”
“I have no idea… it’s just sad… was it because of me~? Because I wasn’t concern about him as a friend???” Hikaru cried as he clung onto Inoo.
“It’s not your fault~” Inoo consoled his best friend, patting him on his shoulders as Megumi entered the room and falling the moment she comes in!
“UWA!!!”
“Eh… I thought we said farewell?” Daiki stole an uninterested glance at Megumi and focused on his book once more, “what is it now?” he sighed.
Takaki snapped his book shut as he settled into a cozy red armchair and asked, “What do you want, country girl?”
“I… Uh… Yamapi wants to take me out for dinner…” Megumi stammered, “I-I’m too scared…I’m not sure how I should answer him…What….What if….. I make a mistake or something?”
“Oi! Oi!” Takaki hollered, cutting off her nonsensical blabbering, “Listen up… the Akumas never fail. So, you won’t make a mistake… if you dress up correctly and say the correct things.”
“But… how will I know what is the correct stuff to say!?” Megumi wailed anxiously, stomping her feet on the floor..
Yabu pretended to be uninterested as Takaki replied coolly, “I’ll help you with it. Don’t worry.” This somehow made Megumi extremely happy even if she did not realize it herself.
~*~
“Put this in your ear, you stupid girl… and cover it with your hair so that he won’t notice.” Takaki muttered as he helped her with her hair.
They were sitting in Takaki’s limousine, as Megumi anxiously took deep breaths, “We’ll be watching you from this screen… I’ve placed a camera so that we can see… you just need to do as you’re told, you understand?” Takaki asked again to make sure that she knows what the Akumas were doing.
The moment Megumi exited the car, Takaki passed the cell phone to Daiki, “I’ve got something important to do… you watch over that stupid country girl.”
“Oh… okay.” Daiki replied with uncertainty as he took the cell phone, “where’re you going…?”
“Uh…” Takaki tried to cook up a story, “Something important…” he replied as he rushed out of the car and into Yabu’s car.
“Daiki…. Lend me your chauffeur…” Yabu muttered as he exited after Takaki and slid into Daiki’s car anxiously.
“What!? Are they going on a date or something?” Hikaru asked as he watched their cars driving off, “How can they not include me!?” he whined.
“Hika…” Daiki muttered coldly as he stared out of the window, “I think… something’s about to happen.”
~*~
“Made it….” Takaki panted as he looked about him to make sure that no one else was there, “Paper-girl….”
He will. I… I can see it in his eyes. He’s not an Akuma at all… if only I can make him trust me… if only I didn’t have to bother about Yamapi right now. Oh… by the way… Yamapi…he’s bringing me on a date tonight… and hopefully he’ll be able to fall for me all over again. It’s getting really hard for me to pull myself out of this… I can’t seem to forget about Yamapi… at least that’s what I think…but… I think I like Takaki-Kun right now… what should I do, Yu-San?
“You really think that I’ll return your feelings?” Takaki panted as he tried to catch his breath, “you made me come all the way here, in the middle of YOUR date to let me read this??? To let me know that you can’t seem to forget Yamapi!?” he hollered, suddenly furious at what Megumi had written.
Yabu, who was leaning against a tree, crossed his arms across his chest and mumbled, “So… Takaki… has been writing to Megumi all this while?”
Then… once again, Takaki Yuya was faced with the same irritating question…. To reply or not. He fished out a coin from his pocket and muttered, “If it’s heads… I’ll reply… if it’s tails then I’ll not.”
With that settled, Takaki flipped the coin into the air and caught it with his right hand… then opening it slowly, he muttered, “No…this doesn’t count.” when he noticed that it was a tail.
Takaki then clutched the coin in his hands and threw it upwards again, catching it one-handedly, he peeked into it… “It’s HEADS!!!” he exclaimed and he threw the coin into the lake, “I guess heaven wants me to reply… it must be my terrible fate.”
“HUH?” Yabu exclaimed as he watched Takaki turn into someone he does not recognize, “He calls that fate?”
You should really make your decision soon. To go back to Yamapi or to carry on with the plan?
“I. Must. Be. NUTS!!!” Takaki shouted as he continuously banged his head onto his soft bag and crushed the paper heart with his vice like grip.
“He’s NUTS alright…” Yabu sighed as he watched Takaki transform into another person before his very eyes, “It’s unbelievable how you can turn into a lunatic just because of a country girl.”
Yabu was about to go up to Takaki when Daiki’s chauffeur gently patted him on the shoulder and said, “Yabu-Sama… I believe it would be wiser to leave Takaki-Sama alone…”
Yabu just stared at the old man, puzzled as the old man explained, “Although you five kids call yourselves the Akumas… and seem to be experts at ditching those young ladies in your school and popular… the five of you are lonely…”
Yabu was about to ask him to shut up when the wise old chauffeur held up a hand and continued, “Takaki-Sama always asks his chauffeur to shut up… so… I’ve been guessing that you would do the same… I’ll just go off by myself.”
Yabu was about to continue observing Takaki… and his weird reactions… but the moment he turned around, he came face to face with the displeased Takaki Yuya. “What are you doing here?” Takaki muttered as he stared at Yabu coldly.
Yabu then tried to reply casually, “Just wondering what you were up to…“
“Ooooh~ so did you find out anything?” Takaki asked anxiously.
Yabu stared hard at Takaki’s face that was hovering just inches away from his, “Uh…I found out that you like shouting to the air, banging your head, tossing coins and call that fate.”
Takaki then pulled hid blazer over his head to muffle his voice, “Gosh! This is SO embarrassing!!!”
~*~
As Yabu lay on his bed, he thought about Takaki, He likes Megumi… but why doesn’t he want to admit it…?
Meanwhile, some distance not far away from his place, Arioka Daiki who lives a few streets away from him was lying down on the sofa with his ‘adorable puppies’. He stoked the soft black fur of his dog while chatting with Aki over the phone.
“So… how was your day… Akuma Daiki?” he heard the sweet voice ask.
“Fine.” Daiki replied in an uninterested manner.
“Oh…” Aki muttered in disappointment at his short reply and tried again to start a conversation with him, “Then… what did you do today?”
“Wake up. Say ‘hi’ to my fans. Go to school. Eat. Hang out at clubhouse. Went home. Sleep.”
“Ah….” Aki murmured as she clutched her phone tightly in her hands, resisting the urge to yell at him or even to try throwing her fist (or foot) at his face!!!!
That was when Aki thought of something fun and decided to put it into action! “Why are you talking like that? Are you feeling nervous and tensed up just because I’m talking to you?” she teased.
“Why you….!” Arioka muttered with gritted teeth and held the phone far away so that she could not hear it and made faces at the phone as if it was Aki.
Then, placing the phone back to his ear, he regained his composure and replied, “Are you dumb? I’ve dated so many girls… why would I be nervous just by chatting with you?”
“That’s because I notice your face went red the other day!” Aki retorted immediately after that and was pleased with herself when she heard Daiki coughed.
“You’ll get it from me tomorrow….” Daiki muttered as he flipped his phone shut with a smirk on his face, “Let’s see whose face will get red this time…”
As soon as he ended his call with Aki, he took out a photo of his first love… Iruka Mira. “Mi-Chan… how are you?” he whispered to the photo as he traced the outline of her face gently with his finger, “I wonder if you still remember me…?”
~*~
“So after that, if you multiply 2 into this equation and then substitute…”
“Sorry for interrupting your lesson, Yamaguchi Sensei.” They heard a voice echo through the classroom and all the students turned their attention to Arioka Daiki, who was leaning against the doorframe.
“Arioka-San?” Yamaguchi asked and stared at Daiki, deeply puzzled, “why are you here?”
“May I borrow Aki for a while?” Daiki questioned with a cunning smile on his face, anticipating the moment, “Just 5 seconds will do.”
“Uhuh… okay.” Yamaguchi replied awkwardly, gesturing at Aki, who stood up at that moment, looking at Daiki and wondering what exactly was going on.
As Daiki approached Aki slowly, everyone’s gaze was fixed on Daiki. Daiki tapped on Aki’s table with his fingers as he leaned towards her, making her anxious, “What are you doing!?” Aki hissed as she leaned backwards uncomfortably.
Daiki grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her towards him, planting a kiss on her lips without warning! The class, including Yamaguchi, inhaled sharply, stunned by the scene before their very eyes! The class was so quiet that you can even hear a pin drop! Aki blinked frantically but dare not move an inch… his move had made her heart go berserk and her face as red as a tomato!
“I win.” Daiki muttered, looking smugly at Aki as he backed off, “Sensei! You can continue your lesson now.” he pointed towards the blackboard before exiting the class.
‘Yummy… she tastes like strawberry…’ Daiki thought as he touched his lips with his forefinger and smiled delightfully.
~*~
“Dai-Chan!!!” Hikaru screamed in excitement when he entered the clubhouse during lunch break, “I heard that you gave that Tamaguchi a heart attack!!!!!”
“I kissed her student during her lesson… how else is she suppose to react?” Daiki replied coolly.
“Cool, Dai-Chan~♪” Inoo complimented as he plopped lifelessly onto the sofa and watched his toy car run all over the room, smiling away.
“Oi! You guys, come out for a moment!!!” They heard Yabu shouted from the outside and rushed out of the clubhouse, “what is this thing doing here?”
“Die… Akumas… DIE!!!!!” Hikaru read as Inoo took down the piece of paper that was stuck onto the door of their clubhouse and threw it into the bin as if it had not mattered to him at all, “SOMEONE IS TELLING US TO DIE!?!??!?!?!” Hikaru cried frantically as Inoo patted his best friend’s head calmly, “How can they be SO CRUEL!?!??! We’re so handsome!! How can they bear to let us DIE!?!??!”
“It must be her…” Takaki yawned as he stretched his body lazily, “Who else could it be…? Let’s go to her class…” he was about to set off to look for Erika when he noticed someone standing at a spot not far away from them, “oh! There’s no need to… looks like Miss Troublemaker came to apologize already!” he exclaimed as the rest of the Akumas smiled at her.
“Erika-San… don’t you find this threat… amusing?” Daiki questioned curiously as he leaned against the wall.
“Why did you kiss Aki….?” Erika muttered as she glared at Daiki in annoyance, “Why did you kiss that USELESS JUNK?”
“Excuse me…” Yabu interrupted the both of them, “But… if you noticed, she’s a GIRL… not JUNK… besides… I consider JUNK as… dirty, disgusting… and perhaps lowly…? And the person who can fit this description would most probably be some one… like you?”
The Akumas laughed and Takaki yelled with a grin on his face, “Save your efforts for your final exams or something… don’t waste them by playing childish games with us! You’ll never win!”
“Yabu-San…?” they heard a soft voice muttered behind them and all of them turned around.
“Ooooh~~ so it’s your GIRLFRIEND huh…? Yabu Kota…?” Erika stared at Yabu as he awkwardly tried to hide Ayame behind his tall body, “Sakurai Ayame… don’t worry, Yabu-San… me and my girls will be sure to treat her nicely.”
Takaki then narrowed his eyes at Yabu in an irritated manner as Erika turned to leave, “I’m sorry about that…” Yabu muttered apologetically as he swallowed hard and looked away.
“If you want… I can warn Erika not to disturb Ayame…” Daiki asked and hoped that it would help to appease the situation that was firing up in front of him.
“There’s no need to.” Yabu replied almost immediately and stared at Ayame from the corner of his eye as he muttered, “I’ve already warned her about me being an Akuma… but since this obstinate girl doesn’t wish to heed my advice… just let it be.”
“Are you really going to let her get bullied by Erika…?” Hikaru asked out of concerned and patted Yabu on the shoulder to prevent him from leaving.
As if he was trying to show Takaki that he would fulfill his promise of leaving Ayame after doing this ‘charity work’, he told Ayame to give him Miyuki’s full name, “We can do our own research about her… all you have to do is stand by and watch the show. After that… we don’t mingle… you understand?”
“Is this really okay?” Takaki tested him, “Is it really alright to just let her get bullied…?”
Yabu inhaled deeply and tucked his hands into his trousers as he said without turning around to look at his friends, “Watashi wa… Akuma desu.”
“Yabu… that was Yabu’s first time… to say that line…” Hikaru muttered, “I guess… he’s really one of us now…”
Inoo looked a bit disappointed as he muttered, “Akuma… Yabu.”
“Well…” Daiki tried to lightened the atmosphere as they watched Ayame and Yabu leaving in opposite directions, “let’s just finish this ‘charity work’ soon… I can’t stand doing good things.”
~*~
“Dai-Chan! We’re going off to check on Miyuki! You coming…?” Takaki yelled across the hallway.
“No… I’ve got something to do!” Daiki hollered back and rushed down the stairs.
Sliding into the backseat of his car, he dialed Mira’s number, “Mira…. Arioka Daiki here… can we meet…?”
~*~
‘Isn’t it bad…? Following Dai-Chan like that?’ Inoo typed on his cell phone and showed it to the anxious Hikaru who was busy spying at Daiki from behind the wall.
“Ah! There’s that girl!!!” Hikaru exclaimed as he pulled Inoo forwards for him to get a better view, “This was that DUMB girl that ditched Daiki just because she liked someone else!!!!”
“How are you…?” Daiki asked in a soft whisper as they sat on a bench just beside Mira’s school.
“Never better…” Mira replied, “how about you?”
“Quite the opposite…. Let’s just say that I’m not very happy most of the time.”
“Ohh…”
“Hey, Mii-Chan!!!! Let’s go home now!!!” Mira’s friends interrupt their conversation, this wasn’t exactly what Daiki had planned… but then now that he had seen her friends’ face’s… this is going to get really interesting…
Daiki watched attentively as Mira grabbed her bags and left Daiki sitting all alone. Daiki fished out his cell phone from his pocket and called Hikaru, “Hika-Chan… wouldn’t it be more interesting if I were to make her lose all her friends first?”
“Well… it’s quite different from your usual style, but then I guess that would seem quite fun too….” Hikaru replied.
As Hikaru hung up on Daiki, he suddenly realize something.
Did Dai-chan found out that we have been following him?
Inoo then pointed anxiously at his watch and screamed, “LATE!!!!”

“Erika-San… don’t you find this threat… amusing?” Daiki questioned curiously as he leaned against the wall.
“Why did you kiss Aki….?” Erika muttered as she glared at Daiki in annoyance, “Why did you kiss that USELESS JUNK?”
“Excuse me…” Yabu interrupted the both of them, “But… if you noticed, she’s a GIRL… not JUNK… besides… I consider JUNK as… dirty, disgusting… and perhaps lowly…? And the person who can fit this description would most probably be some one… like you?”
The Akumas laughed and Takaki yelled with a grin on his face, “Save your efforts for your final exams or something… don’t waste them by playing childish games with us! You’ll never win!”
“Yabu-San…?” they heard a soft voice muttered behind them and all of them turned around.
“Ooooh~~ so it’s your GIRLFRIEND huh…? Yabu Kota…?” Erika stared at Yabu as he awkwardly tried to hide Ayame behind his tall body, “Sakurai Ayame… don’t worry, Yabu-San… me and my girls will be sure to treat her nicely.”
Takaki then narrowed his eyes at Yabu in an irritated manner as Erika turned to leave, “I’m sorry about that…” Yabu muttered apologetically as he swallowed hard and looked away.
“If you want… I can warn Erika not to disturb Ayame…” Daiki asked and hoped that it would help to appease the situation that was firing up in front of him.
“There’s no need to.” Yabu replied almost immediately and stared at Ayame from the corner of his eye as he muttered, “I’ve already warned her about me being an Akuma… but since this obstinate girl doesn’t wish to heed my advice… just let it be.”
“Are you really going to let her get bullied by Erika…?” Hikaru asked out of concerned and patted Yabu on the shoulder to prevent him from leaving.
As if he was trying to show Takaki that he would fulfill his promise of leaving Ayame after doing this ‘charity work’, he told Ayame to give him Miyuki’s full name, “We can do our own research about her… all you have to do is stand by and watch the show. After that… we don’t mingle… you understand?”
“Is this really okay?” Takaki tested him, “Is it really alright to just let her get bullied…?”
Yabu inhaled deeply and tucked his hands into his trousers as he said without turning around to look at his friends, “Watashi wa… Akuma desu.”
“Yabu… that was Yabu’s first time… to say that line…” Hikaru muttered, “I guess… he’s really one of us now…”
Inoo looked a bit disappointed as he muttered, “Akuma… Yabu.”
“Well…” Daiki tried to lightened the atmosphere as they watched Ayame and Yabu leaving in opposite directions, “let’s just finish this ‘charity work’ soon… I can’t stand doing good things.”

“Dai-Chan! We’re going off to check on Miyuki! You coming…?” Takaki yelled across the hallway.
“No… I’ve got something to do!” Daiki hollered back and rushed down the stairs.
Sliding into the backseat of his car, he dialed Mira’s number, “Mira…. Arioka Daiki here… can we meet…?”
~*~
‘Isn’t it bad…? Following Dai-Chan like that?’ Inoo typed on his cell phone and showed it to the anxious Hikaru who was busy spying at Daiki from behind the wall.
“Ah! There’s that girl!!!” Hikaru exclaimed as he pulled Inoo forwards for him to get a better view, “This was that DUMB girl that ditched Daiki just because she liked someone else!!!!”
“How are you…?” Daiki asked in a soft whisper as they sat on a bench just beside Mira’s school.
“Never better…” Mira replied, “how about you?”
“Quite the opposite…. Let’s just say that I’m not very happy most of the time.”
“Ohh…”
“Hey, Mii-Chan!!!! Let’s go home now!!!” Mira’s friends interrupt their conversation, this wasn’t exactly what Daiki had planned… but then now that he had seen her friends’ face’s… this is going to get really interesting…
Daiki watched attentively as Mira grabbed her bags and left Daiki sitting all alone. Daiki fished out his cell phone from his pocket and called Hikaru, “Hika-Chan… wouldn’t it be more interesting if I were to make her lose all her friends first?”
“Well… it’s quite different from your usual style, but then I guess that would seem quite fun too….” Hikaru replied.
As Hikaru hung up on Daiki, he suddenly realize something.
Did Dai-chan found out that we have been following him?
Inoo then pointed anxiously at his watch and screamed, “LATE!!!!”
