Chapter 7: Seriously?!
I have managed to keep a low profile even with all of my extracurricular activities. I wake up. I train. I eat and go to school, and on my way home, I take every detour I can think of to make sure no one is in trouble. I haven't officially met all of Toman's members, but since I was reborn here, I know what they look like and do my best to look out for them.
With one catch.
I was able to help Baji and Chifuyu when Chifuyu was attacked and Baji saved him. It was an accident ending up there in the first place, but I was already dressed to assist when needed. Besides. I hate seeing Chifuyu get hurt.
When I appeared, the scumbags fighting them asked if I was their little boyfriend.
Let me explain.
I don't want it to be obvious who I am. So when I go out, basically looking for trouble, I wear a black leather jacket with padding underneath it as well as a set up similar to that of a corset. Meaning it has a type of bone underneath the torso and in the arms of the jacket. The difference is the bones aren't plastic.
The first jerk that came my way, all I really had to do was quickstep out of his way and bring my arm down on the back of his head to knock him off balance while I bring my back leg up and around behind his knees.
Baji started laughing and said, "You guys are screwed now!"
"That guy took him out in 2 hits?!?!?"
Yes, I did. The bones throughout my jacket are actually thin metal plates. The arms plates are not connected, so it is still relatively easy to move around while fighting.
Basically, I hit him with metal and took out his legs.
Next.
>>>>
I got so excited when we won, I let out a very audible, "YES!" Before freezing and remembering I am supposed to be in disguise. A QUIET disguise. I'M SUCH A DOOFUS.
I turned toward them, did a quick bow, and ran for it. I heard them calling after me to wait, but I can't.
I've been doing things like that since I knew I'd be staying here. I trained to be stronger, but didn't tell Emma, Mikey, or Draken. For Emma and Mikey especially, I felt bad for hiding things from them. Every time they ask where I got a bruise or a cut, I would doge like crazy. I don't want to lie. So I don't. But I can't tell them either.
It's been a few months of this, and I don't think anyone is suspicious. However, I have been getting an extraordinary amount of attention from pervy jerks.
Been at school just long enough to be the target of flirting to the point that I have to run away and hide so I don't get in trouble and so they don't catch me.
Buttholes.
Today was another day like that. Freaking perv grabbed my a…HE GRABBED ME. So I am attempting to find a place to hide, but suddenly heard their voices getting closer from ahead of me, and MORE of this doofus possie coming from behind.
If I wasn't afraid of disappointing my aunt for fighting on schoolgrounds, I'd be the snot out of them.
As soon as I saw what looked like one of those criminal cretins, I ducked into the first door I saw.
"Hey!" Yamagishi squeaked.
"I seriously chose to hide in the guy's restroom? Are you kidding me???" I choked out in frustration.
I heard the door open and quickly ran into one of the stalls and quietly closed the door behind me. Before they could tell or see my feet at all, I did what I call a spidey move, and put a foot on opposite ends of the stall and held myself up with my hands and uncomfortable placed feet.
How does Spiderman even do this? This is freaking painful!
"Hey baby, I know you jumped in here. Trying to get ready for me, sweetie?"
I hate this guy.
It sounds like it's just this jerk, so the others must be guarding the dang door. Which is good and bad at the same time.
I felt him approach this first stall and figured he was checking underneath before opening the door, which gave me just enough time to climb up and over to the other stall.
"Hey, you said you're lookin for a girl? This is definitely the men's room!" Yamagishi said as casually as possible.
"You little turds lying to me?"
I really hate this guy!
When I heard him approach the second stall, I moved down to the 3rd praying to any and everything that these are the only guys in here and no guys will be in these stalls.
"I don't see a woman here." Takuya spoke firmly.
?!?!?
These sweethearts are so kind!
When the super doofus jerk began to walk away from the 3rd stall, I hoped he was going to, you know, LEAVE.
But no. I was able to slowly open the stall only to see this jerk coming up to them like he was gonna…
"Since you guys are hoggin such a pretty girl, I'll have to beat some common sense into all of you."
"EXCUSE ME?!?!"
Looking back on it, how I managed to launch myself out the stall, into the guy, who then somehow accidentally got knocked out on the urinal directly across from me.
OH.
"I can't believe this guy WHY ARE YOU SUCH A JERK!!ALL THE TIME. These guys didn't even do anything to you!!!"
I couldn't see beyond my blind rage while I thoroughly blasted and cussed out this jerk. Only to realize I am still
IN THE MEN'S ROOM.
I couldn't even look at them. I did a very curt not and ran away AGAIN.
On the bright side, at least I know where the story is now. On the opposite end, I would rather have found that out any and every other way!!!
>>>>>
I was able to follow them from a distance but had to wait somewhere other than the stands. I had worn my getup before even showing up just in case. Mikey is supposed to show up and I would rather he not…
"Who are you kid?"
I swear, today has to be the unluckiest day ever.
I didn't say anything. Draken is currently the one growling down at me. Freaking tall jerk.
And there's Mikey. Eating…
I couldn't help but smile.
He's eating the dorayaki I made for him.
"You laughing at me?"
CRAP.
I shook my head in a desperate attempt to communicate no.
I should have paid closer attention to the direction these two came from.
"GET MY BAT!"
I jerked my attention to Takemitchy. He's so hurt. He is still standing but, this is my fault. I'm holding up Mikey and Draken.
Takemitchy's gonna die because of me.
Just like that, I went from having a stare down with Mikey and Draken, to running full speed ahead to that Kiyomasa jerk. I jumped and landed a spinning hook kick on the side of his head.
The land could have been better, but I didn't fall over, so there's that.
I planted myself firmly between Takemitchy and Kiyomasa.
I heard whispering and would have assumed that meant Mikey was coming in. But what's all this business about a cat warrior?
Kiyomasa didn't go down, he just moved over.
Great. Now I'm gonna die too. The story was seriously no joke. He is HUGE. Middle school my…
The crowd suddenly shifted to whispers about the leaders of Toman. I let out a breath I didn't even know I was holding.
Everything went about the way it was supposed to, so I went to quickly fade into the background when I felt a hand grab my shoulder to stop me.
SERIOUSLY???
It's Mikey. I literally cannot say a dang word. He knows my voice! He is doing that super zoom thing though and I can't breathe. Why does he always have to get so CLOSE!?!?!
"Are you the one that's been helping my friends?"
Y/n.exe has crashed.
I can't answer that. Not out loud. WHAT DO I DO. HE'S SO CLOSE!!!!
I took a quick step back and did a quick nod.
From the silence and even more whispers, I knew it looked like I meant to offend him, but I didn't, I swear!
He's giving me a look. I can't do this. Turn. Burn. BYE BYE!
I managed to make it all the way back home before dark only to be greeted by Emma. With Mikey joining her.
Seriously, how could this day have so much bad luck. Maybe it's about that cat thing I heard them say earlier.
"Hey sis!" Em called me. I love that. She's so sweet but can't she be a little more sweet at a little bit later of a time WHEN SHE'S ALONE. Especially when I'm not covered in sweat and it's also not entirely unlikely I've got visible bruises from todays' events.
"H..hey!" I just had to freaking stutter. Just nuke this day already! At least I already put away my gear my favorite tree.
"You guys want to come in?" I asked politely and motioning toward my house.
Of all the days for them to say "Sure!"
Fudge.
