Chapter 4:
AIBA
I really, really, really, really, really, one thousand times really love Kaze-san. He took my hand and led me to the topmost floor of the school. I didn’t even know that there was that floor! I didn’t know because I haven’t been inside the school.
I looked around me and everyone was staring at me as if I was scary. Was I really that scary? If I was, then why was Kaze-san holding my hand? He wasn’t scared of me, right?
“Aiba-chan. I will let you meet Leader,” he said as we stopped in front of a sliding door that contained kanji. That was the same kanji on Kaze’s nice uniform! He used his sleeve to attempt to wipe the dried blood from my face but it was no use. I just whimpered as he rubbed too hard.
“Who is Leader?” I asked curiously.
“Ah, he’s the president of the club.”
“And Kaze-san?”
“I am the vice president.”
“So, if I join the club, I will be… the second gentleman?”
Kaze looked at me in confusion. “What?” he repeated.
“I know how to read, Kaze-san,” I said with a pout. “The vice president’s partner is called the ‘second lady or gentleman’.”
I watched him become red. It was too cute. “Shut up, you stupid, crazy, guy!” he hissed. He cleared his throat and placed his hand on the knob. “Aiba-chan, before we enter, I have one thing to say to you.”
“What is it, Kaze-san?”
“Promise me never ever to fight Leader. Never,” he said with a serious face.
“Why will I?” I asked him.
“Just promise me!”
“Pinky swear?” I said, “Or kiss?” Those two gestures are my symbols of promises.
“I’d rather have the pinky swear,” he said with cold sweat. We did the act before he opened the door. I squinted because the sunlight was hiding Leader in the shadows.
The leader stood up (he wasn’t really that tall) and he held out a chain towards me. “Welcome to Arashi, Aiba-chan.”
My face lit up and I saw the guy. “You are that guy! Sakano-san!”
“Sakano-san?” Kaze tried to hide his sniggers. “You know him, Leader?”
I explained to Kaze. “He’s Ohno and he likes fish. So I gave him the nickname ‘Sakano’!”
“Cut it out!” Sakano-san glared at the vice president. “Aiba-chan, I think I would prefer you calling me ‘Leader’,” he said.
“Oh. Okay. Leader, I’m the second gentleman,” I said with a bow.
“Aiba-chan, will you fucking shut up?” Kaze said. Leader looked at him and I saw the guy smirk at my partner.
“Kaze, I didn’t know you got married. Where was the honeymoon? In a BDSM dungeon?”
“What is BDSM?” I asked curiously.
“SHUT UP!” Kaze shouted once again. He was as red as a beet. “Aiba-chan. You are NOT a second gentleman. You are the First King of Arashi. So please, shut up. We’re not married or anything, okay?”
I nodded at Kaze-san. “Okay, if Kaze-san says so!”
The door opened once again and three new people entered. Leader happily introduced the other kings. The Fourth King was Matsujun.
“Hi, J! I am Aiba-chan!”
“Wait, you’re calling me J?”
“Yeah!” I answered happily. I will call him J because Matsujun is three syllables. Anyway, he really looked so cool with his scowl and his thick eyebrows. He was wearing a tiger print coat. I just hoped it did not come from a real tiger.
He just scowled at me before going to his seat. His seat was like a peacock. It really fitted him.
“Hello, I am Toma!” the Third King introduced himself. He seemed really cheerful. I like him. He was holding an apple. “Do you like apples, Aiba-chan?” he asked, offering his.
I was about to take the apple when Kaze snatched it and threw it out of the window. “Toma, you’re not trying to cause diarrhea or something?”
“No. of course not,” he said with a smile. He patted my head and said, “I’ll buy you one, Aiba-chan.”
The Second King went towards me meekly. He seemed not that strong but I felt shivers when he placed a hand on my shoulder. It was weird because he immediately took away his hand and looked at me with scared eyes.
“That’s Pi,” Leader said. He frowned at the man and then gave a serious nod before going back to his chair, a simple cushioned chair.
“Ah, Kaze-san sits here, ne?” I said as I saw the chair wrapped in silvery silk cloth. “I will sit… here!” I sat on the floor beside the chair. I heard J snort in laughter.
Leader sat on his own chair and said, “Well, if that’s what you want, Aiba-chan.”
“So… what do we do around here?”
“Play…” Kaze said. He took his DS from his pocket and started playing. I frowned. That was not my definition of playing.
It was Sakano… I mean Leader’s turn to grab my hand. “Come with me first, Aiba-chan. I want to talk to you about something.”
Both of us were at the rooftop. Leader leaned on the metal railings. He motioned me to come closer. “What is it, Leader-chan?”
He almost snorted in laughter when he heard my new affectionate name for him. He’s one of the very few persons whom I allowed to call me Aiba-chan. I might allow Toma because he’s nice, probably to Pi but he’s creepy, and probably to Jun because I want his animal print jacket.
“Aiba-chan, do you remember that time on the boat?”
I smiled at him. “Of course, I do. You told me that when you fight, you should fight with a reason.”
He nodded at me and gave me a pat. “But then, I heard that when you fought Kaze, he saw you fighting a group of students. What was that about?”
“Hmm…” I started. “I went back to Ninomiya Kazunari’s old school and beat up the guys who bullied him.”
Leader was surprised. “What?”
“You told me that when Kaze-san was younger, he was bullied. I don’t want anyone hurting Kaze-san,” I said. I took out a piece of paper from my pocket and showed him the page containing Ninomiya Kazunari’s class list. “All of them,” I said proudly.
Leader frowned. “But that was all in the past. I told you before that we should not stick to the past, right?”
“It’s difficult, Leader-chan,” I said, looking at the ground. “Sometimes… sometimes, I can still hear the voices.” I shook my head with my eyes closed. “I could not help it.”
“Sometimes, Kaze can still hear voices as well, Aiba-chan,” Leader said, placing a hand on my shoulder. I was surprised with this new thing I’ve learned about my partner.
I looked at Leader because I suddenly got a wonderful idea. “Leader-chan, I will make sure that Kaze-san and I won’t hear voices anymore!”
“Good. I know you will.”
