Shiho was in the dojo with the new members of the kendo club standing in front of Tate. “See I told you using Munakata as bait to luring…erm I mean recruiting some new members to our club,” Chiba was congratulating himself.
“Geez you just reveal yourself as an otaku last week,” Shiho thought of that idiotic plan Chiba had offer to bringing in some new members to the Kendo Club.
“I see you three are interest to join our club. Kendo offer to way of the sword also teach you about discipline, honor, and sportsmanship I’m captain of the boys’ kendo team, Tate Yuuichi and welcome to the club.”
The remaining members that didn’t join the Athletic Club due Natsuki being there murmuring among themselves. “He’s trying too hard acting a cool senpai for the new members,” Tate flinched at the comment. “Isn’t Kuga’s fault that she was used as a recruiting tool for Athletic Club to stolen away potential members from us,” Tate was scratching through his blond hair.
Shiho heard Tate’s inspirational speech to the three new members. “He tried his best to inspire the incoming members even he sounded like a dork,” Shiho was giggling and the dark-haired boy look over at her direction.
Nao and Miyu are currently cleaning the church while Alyssa is playing Yukariko’s daughter Momoko. “Geez we’re working our asses making this place look decent for next Sunday’s Service the blonde genius not offering any assist for us.” Nao was grumbling her complaints.
“Yuuki-san Miss Alyssa is watching Sister Yukariko’s young daughter while she’s attending her errands. This is our responsibility to finish within a timely matter.” Miyu is explaining their job.
“Greer you just stick-in-ass annoying for explaining what we already know.” Nao snaps at Miyu.
“Yuuki-san you showing some hostility toward me I still have my weapons on and I won’t afraid to use against you to protect Miss Alyssa,” Miyu coldly response.
Nao realize she shouldn’t piss off the former anti-HiME android (Who may or may not have a crush on the blonde genius.)
Alyssa looked at the two nuns after stop playing the one-year old. “Miyu it okay you shouldn’t threaten Nao making her a big red splat on the wall or Sister Yukariko won’t approve of you using violence in here,” Nao was releasing her breath it didn’t realize she was holding.
“Sister Nao, Sister Miyu we came for the holy water.” Arika is announcing her presence with Erstin behind her. “The drama teacher needed it for the play for tomorrow,” Nao smiled for the brunette.
“Arsty-chan I see you looking the holy water that the drama teacher requesting for? I’ll get it to you,” Nao walked behind the confession booth and found next to couple of bibles
“Oh thanks Sister Nao you could offer Ersty and me some romantic advice.” Arika was fidgeting a bit. Nao don’t know any romance for god-shake she’s not in any relationship. (Nao thought she don’t wanting to end up like Natsuki dancing around her currently status as every former HiME knew she was dating Shizuru.)
“Sorry Arika-chan I don’t have any advice to dish out or have all the answers but you should seek out someone with some romantic experience to help you.” Nao kindly offered.
“Erstin-chan having a crush on someone but she won’t telling me anything or pry any information from her.”
“Arika-chan please don’t tell my romance woes I kind embarrassed to reveal anything to anyone,”
“Great they landing me a problem I can’t deal with,” Nao was hoping that Alyssa and Miyu going to help with this bind. “Yea what eleven old offer any advice even she haven’t experience any romance herself or her killbot can’t displayed any human emotions,” It hate to be nice sometime. “Well you could tell the person how you really feel about them in the future and get a respond from them.”
Erstin was blushing and avert her eyes away from Nao. “I’m afraid to be rejected since the person I admired is very popular and their fan club would find out.”
Nao is rolling her eyes. “I said screw them and tell them you love them,” Nao can’t believe she spew that crap.
“I considered your advice, Sister Nao still I need some courage to tell them.” Erstin gave Arika an evil look after revealing almost anything. After they left, Nao, Miyu, and Alyssa with Momoko was talking.
“You like me seeing being torture out there. What the hell I was giving love advice to a junior high school student! (Of course being a nun over a year now after Yukariko roped Nao into one saying something about saving a stray soul.)
“You’re showing your nice side to everyone even that kills you, I right?” Alyssa asked. Nao don’t know she even compliment her or being snarky.
Erstin was headed back to the Garderobe Apartment Complex when she saw somebody. “Hello Mei-senpai I sorry I came back late, is Irina-chan there?”
“Erstin-chan I told you before shouldn’t so formal toward me my name is Chun and Woods-san too busy with her experiments I hope she wouldn’t short-circuit the place,” Said Chun. “Where is Arika’s? I told her too she can live the apartment that my grandfather had built for free sense she shouldn’t live out of her tent.”
“She told Sister Nao about my crush but I don’t have the nerves to tell them due fear of being reject and her fan club would gone bananas if they find out about me,” Erstin was worried.
“I heard that Yuuki-san is a nun from Mai-chan my former classmate from my first year and I heard some rumors that she into compensation dating with older men but I can’t either prove it or disprove it.” Chun just shrugged.
“Chun-chan I told her my crush and she gave me some pretty decent advice in spite of her reputation.” Erstin was kindly speaking of Nao fondly.
“She seems a nice person hiding behind a harden exterior given you an advice to be yourself,” Chun added her own comment.
“Yeah she’s like really a nice person,” Erstin smiled. “She sometime was helping with my problems dealing with my grandfather’s death. She won’t admit that she enjoyed helping others,”
Everything was chaotic within the Student Council Room with every club submitting their budget and Yukino had to deal with mounting work. “The Light Music Club wanting adding AC in the music room, the Martial Art Club needing to slash about 30% percent of their budget, Manga Club wanting to have a fund raiser for their trip to Tokyo for Comiket during summer break, Astronomy Club dipping their funds for buying new telescopes…” Yukino took off her glasses off and rubbing her nose to relive some stress. “There are forty-five to fifty clubs wanting handing them some money the school couldn’t afford,” Yukino thought this was too demanding.
“President Kikukawa you probably need a break and the meeting went overtime dealing with several issues regarding the school. The Executive Committee is having problems policing some rowdy students causing some ruckus and disputing the peace that surrounding our school.” Sergey was speaking at Yukino.
“Thank you Vice President Wang for your concerns for my well-bring. Honestly we have too work had to be done and I’ve sorting through the mess of the budgets of every club presidents gave to us,” Yukino briefly thought she was way over her head. “This meeting is adjourning for now,” As everyone left from the room, Yukino slip into the hallway before everyone asking her a question. She dialed Haruka’s number hoping she was finishing her classes for today. After a few rings, Haruka answered her cell phone.
“Yukino-chan how was the meeting? It everything okay for you?” Haruka is worry for her friend. “You can tell me everything if you having any problems,” Yukino is smiling.
“About every club presidents submitting their annually budget and demanding some things that the whole school can’t cover and still paying your father’s construction company to fixing the school back.” Yukino sighed. “The Executive Committee having their own problems dealing with the troublemakers that transferring here.” Yukino was finding it difficult to balance being the president and studying hard for her future.
“Geez those hooligans without morals running rampant throughout the school causing problems for everyone they needed dealt with harshly,” Haruka sounded furious. “The lack of decency they displaying making the whole school look bad,”
“Haruka-chan thanks for offering your support but I need do my way to curbing down the delinquents causing trouble and finding an appropriate punishment handed to them,” Yukino was sounding unusually confident.
“Yukino-chan you’re starting taking your responsibility seriously as the president for school looking at you as worthy.” Haruka was beaming for Yukino.
“Haruka-chan you shouldn’t I don’t think I’m worthy for being president or I think I’m not cut out for the job.” Yukino reverted back to her usual mousy self. “The reason I am the president now you convince me run for office last year and Wang-kun seems a better presidential material than me.”
“Yukino-chan stopped doubting yourself and believing your own abilities. I can’t be there for you all the time and you need stand on your own two feet. I want you being a better president than that lazy tea-drinking woman, Fujino-san.” Haruka tried to restore Yukino’s confidence.
Yukino realized that her friend and the person she love helping her out all her life since they were kids and now she needed be her own person. “Haruka I tried be the best president in your eyes.”
“You not sounding convincing the President of Student Council needing to projecting some strong confidence to the student body and adding some guts to it,” Yukino was happy that Haruka given her a good advice.
“Haruka-chan I’m wanting to worthy being the president and making you proud of me,” Yukino ending their call.
Shiho was at the Linden Baum watching the students after school eating their lunch with their friends, boyfriends and girlfriends. Shiho briefly reminiscence of the times she and Tate ate here before the Carnival. “Why fate is taunting me?” Something red was bypassing Shiho as her thoughts were interrupted. “Oh is her again,” Shiho angrily recalling Nao’s taunts couple of weeks ago.
“This is where my daughter hanging out of this place. Well it’s better than eating out from the school cafeteria with the other teachers.” Hinata thought. Someone grabbed her shoulders, spun her around and facing pair of angry brown eyes.
“You show up again after I slapped the taste of your arrogance and making fun of Yuuichi.” Shiho was visibly pissed. “Yuuki-san I hope you grew up and stop acting like conceit little brat.”
Hinata was confused for a moment before realizing that Shiho was threatening her. “Excuse me I recognize that uniform from my daughter’s school you’re a student there?” Hinata was authoritative toward Shiho.
“First threaten to assault a teacher would getting you suspend, and secondly you confusing me with my daughter Nao.”
Shiho was starting to panic. “Oh I’m so sorry for confusing you for someone else. My grandfather is going to kill me for being kick out of school and throw in jail.” Shiho truly felt humiliated about everyone witnessing her confusing Hinata with Nao.
“You’re seems a nice person to defend your friend I don’t know what Nao-chan had said to you but I can tell you a decent person,”
“Well you kind looking like her, Yuuki-sensei and she insulted him.” Shiho was blushing from mistaken Hinata as Nao now she noticing the resemblance. “You’re physically looking as her older sister than her mother.”
“Sometime people are pointing out that to me when I’m with Nao-chan. I’m pretty good-looking for a woman in her mid-forties.” Hinata was bragging. “Let’s talk in private so everyone won’t hear our conversation,” Hinata and Shiho find the nearest booth to talk.
“Our financial situation is dire due my physical rehabilitation and the medicinal bills mounting after woken up from five year coma. We struggle making ends meet even after resuming my teaching career. Her father left us before the robbery happened and she briefly spent some time with my older sister and my brother-in-law before they shipped her to the orphanage. I glad Nao have her school tuition paid out until she’ll graduate from high school.” Hinata told their life story to Shiho.
“Yuuki-san have her mother back is good for her but for me having Yuuichi back was painful for me even I was temporarily insane during the final moments of the Carnival.” Shiho is trying to forget that dark part of her life. “Yuuki-sensei you sure you really know about your daughter?” Shiho was questioning Hinata.
“I figure that Nao may have some friends she won’t tell me about for fear being embarrass of her mother prying in her business added that I’m a teacher at junior high section of the school.” Hinata smiled. “I guess I have to leave I didn’t have the chance to buy something here the place is pack and doing well. Oh I forget to ask your name.”
Shiho seems trust Hinata. “My name Munakata Shiho and I’m first year student of high school and not part of your daughter’s class.”
“Munakata-san I may talk to you some more about us when I have a chance, bye I don’t want to miss Nao’s phone call for this evening.”
“Yuuki-sensei is a nice woman but doesn’t change my opinion of Yuuki-san,” Shiho is vehemently convince that Nao won’t change even her mother was alive.
“Aoi with Harada-san as usual of course they’d found any gossip.” Nao drag herself to her and Aoi’s dorm after a tiring day at the church. “The stupid penguins are staring at me.” Nao finding Aoi’s fetish for cute things is beyond creepy when she named them as if they’re her own children. “I don’t know how Harada tolerate this without freaking out,” Nao strip out of her nun habit and dress causally with pair of blue short-shorts and T-shirt. Since Aoi isn’t here so she hadn’t sneak away from her dorm mate to have a phone conversation with her mother.
She dialed her mother’s number as if automatic and Hinata instantly answering her daughter’s call. “Oh Nao I about to call you but since you beat me how’s your day like?”
“Mama I still helping around the church as a nun-in-training with Greer-san and babysitting her daughter.” (Hinata still don’t believe Nao as a nun since she doesn’t scream compassion.)
“Nao I met one of your friends today at Linden Baum she mistaken me as you she said something about insulting her friend? Please tell me the truth I won’t be mad.” (Actually Nao was terrified of her mother’s temper.)
Nao momentarily didn’t know anybody until she recalled Shiho. “Munakata was trying to attack my mother? How dare her.” Nao isn’t totally innocent of the affair too. “I said something insulted the guy she used to like and she slapped me and calling me immature.”
“Okay I understand but apologize to her and say I sorry so she’ll forgiven to you, Nao.” Hinata said calmly but reality she threaten Nao with punishment within hint of her voice.
“Y-Yes mama I understood what to said next time I see Munakata.” Nao wasn’t this afraid until nearly two years ago back then during the waning moments of the carnival her former victims were threatened to beating/rape her.
The Kendo Club having their weekly practice preparing for preliminary round for inter-high school kendo tournament. “We have done with what we got,” Tate realized that they only have six boys on the kendo team to field the team portion of the tournament and one for the individual. “The girl team has enough to fill both sections.” Tate looked one of the three members. “Miki look promising and he was semi-finalist his last year of junior high national kendo tournament.” He still talked to Takeda after his senpai graduated last year. “I told him about the Athletic Club using Kuga for enticed some of our members to leave and join them,” (With usual predictable result of Takeda asking about Natsuki even she rejected him through her letter.) Surprisingly Takeda found himself a girlfriend and currently dating her at this moment. “It nice for him moving past of Kuga and not moping around in self-pity,” Tate realized the bitter irony when he and Mai broke up for awhile he was having a pity party for himself before it was futile.
Miki briefly is staring Shiho before resuming his practice. After kendo club activity was over Miki wanting ask Tate about something. “Um captain who’s the person over there?” Miki was pointing at Shiho.
“Oh that Shiho my friend she’s the manager of the Kendo Club. She used to be clingy toward me but she stopped it now she okay person just lately she wanting to avoiding me,” After the carnival things between them was awkward and Shiho still pursuing him after he and Mai got together. “She the same year as you, Miki-san but I don’t know she’s interest in anyone at this moment.”
“I maybe feeling something toward her isn’t like I some machine won’t feel.” Miki is shrugging. “I got go I have some homework to do,” He took his things back to his dorm.
Nao was planning to rob another victim and checking herself in the mirror. She grew a cup size in bust department and being extra curvy to boot that helping her lot. Her hair grew past her shoulders all the way down to her butt and she tied into a ponytail. “This isn’t easy to tied them up and robbed them of their money without Julia aiding me,” Since Nao lost her HiME powers she had to be extra caution and learning using weapons she don’t wanting to be kill before her mother. Also this the only way for her to pay off Hinata’s medicinal bills in spite got off from a coma. “It Showtime,” Nao hiked her skirt up a bit before leaving from the dorm.
Shiho was on her way back to the dorm when she spotted Nao left from the dorms wearing black skirt with bare-midriff grey shirt. “Why she’s wearing that?” Shiho was wondering Nao was up to. Against her better judgment she decided to follow Nao to outskirt of Fuuka.
Nao was standing next to a restaurant waiting for her date. “You must be Juliet I saw your profile on the site.” A man around his mid-twenties well-dress could mistake for a business worker.
“I glad for you found my profile very interesting. I’m looking toward our date tonight,” Nao was sounding confidence. “I’m going turn nineteen in June and I wanting to try dating older men for once,” Nao is starting using her seducing charms on the young fellow.
From Shiho’s point of view she was observing the exchange between Nao and her would-be victim. “What she’s doing?” Shiho watch Nao took off. Shiho continue to stalk Nao…
“Hee, hee you’re so funny, Kinjo-san so your company doing well currently you are the type probably making a killing with your job and living comfortably for rest of your life,” Nao have pretend being an airhead flirt to her victim.
“Between me and you, Juliet-san I rather avoiding gold-diggers whom siphon away my money since I starting working for the company after graduated from college. They only relying on their looks going through life but cold hard truth that is it getting you only far as you can before time taking that away.” Kinjo was smugly smiling. “Ouch! You kick me on purpose?”
Nao still smiling pretty but took offend his remark about women. “You bastard you should dealt with you never knew the hardship I have to struggle to afford paying back the money we own,”
“Oh I so sorry Kinjo-san my left leg went it own and swiftly kicking you on the thigh.” (Nao wanting to aim her leg another body part.) “Oh my I can’t control my foot was aiming at.”
“That okay you were mindlessly swinging your leg. Honestly I prefer younger women since they still naïve and inexperience to world easier to deal with than the OL in my workplace with the gossip and moaning about can’t find a husband after them past thirty year old. The girls are fragile little things needing approval from older men whispering sweet nothings to stoke their fragile little egos replacing their fathers,” Kinjo took a shot from his wine.
Nao briefly slip her mask showing rage and contempt for the man before reverting back to the brainless tease act. “Kinjo-san you offended some women around here with your misogynic attitude considered one day you may marrying someone resembling your mother,”
“Juliet I don’t truly care I was burned once in college by my ex I thought I was the father and going to support our baby but ending up she cheated on me with the professor of classic literature class and that his child she was carrying.” Kinjo continued to drinking from flute of his wine. “I wanting an abortion since I don’t want raising another man’s child plus she came from a wealthy family don’t needing a scandal stain their good name they forced her to marrying him and raise their child together.” Kinjo was callous recalled his experience.
“You little immature son of a bitch who wouldn’t take fucking responsibility for dumping your girlfriend even she’s in the wrong too you could at least redeem yourself at the end to saved her from lifetime of loveless marriage she obligated to do you spineless bastard,” Nao was raging on for Kinjo’s lack of accountability. “Kinjo-san you should help her raise that child even isn’t yours what a man for,” Nao slyly questioning his manhood.
“I was sorry for jaded from the experience but making me guarding women toward a little more. Juliet you seems a lot smarter than you letting on that even your real name?” He looked Nao suspiciously. “It doesn’t matter for now I prepaid our meal and let’s finish our date at a love hotel.”
Shiho was hiding about forty-five minutes before Nao and Kinjo emerged from the restaurant heading toward the nearest love hotel. “What Yuuki-san and that man are going to next?”
Kinjo was talking to the owner while signing their names. (Nao is using a false name so he won’t find out her real name.)
Shiho reach to place and read the name. “Pleasure Paradise for all your erotic needs,” She was blushing. “They actually went to a love hotel!” She is envisioning her wedding night with Tate bed cover with roses and led her with candles surrounding their room. “Shiho stop fantasizing the impossible dream,” She scolded herself.
Nao in the bathroom took off her clothes when laying down a knife to tend using on Kinjo. “He deserved to die but I won’t stain my soul on this. I will show that he shouldn’t badmouthing his ex-girlfriend or women in general,” Nao was thinking to killing him after robbing him but she don’t want spend the rest of her life in jail for murder. She put on the robe and hidden the weapon on the waistband of her underwear.
“Juliet you’re ready? The champagne is getting cold and the room cost half of my paycheck.” Kinjo was waiting impatiently.
“I’m coming Kinjo-san I still freshen up a bit,” Nao came from the bathroom dressing in crimson silk robe. “Kinjo-san here I am.”
Kinjo studied Nao and was mentally approving Nao’s mature body. “Juliet you’ve a smoking body I sort surprise you would looking very sexy for your age,”
“Geez thank you Kinjo-san I just developed my final years of high school,” Said Nao with false modestly. “He is drooling all over my body like a piece of meat.”
“Kinjo-san I’m a virgin so please be gentle with me,” (In spite what she had told Yukariko in the confession both couple of years ago Nao in fact a virgin.)
Kinjo pulled Nao toward him and starting to grope over her body. “Kinjo-san you’re rough you should please your lover first and considered her feelings.”
“Juliet you honest you’re a virgin it not I don’t want secondhand goods.” Kinjo continued fondling Nao’s breasts.
“You suck at sex.” Nao hated Kinjo more than ever. “Kinjo-san I could tie you up on the bedpost? I always wanted trying some bondage.”
“Oh you into some kinky stuff I thought you’re some prude won’t try anything outside the missionary position.” Kinjo was anticipating for Nao tying him up.
Nao loosened the belt exposing her bare breasts, taking from the robe and tying him with it. “I see you got an eyeful Kinjo-san you can touch them after words,” Kinjo-san was too busy staring at her uncovered chest, Nao reach around in her underwear and pulling out the knife. “Okay I decided we having knife play and this isn’t some role playing crap. I going take all your money you disgusting piece of filth.”
Kinjo was scared after Nao set the knife on his neck. “Y-You are lying about yourself! I should call the police for attempting robbery,”
“There, there my real name is Yuuki Nao. First of all I’m fifteen years old and the age of constant in Fuuka umm about seventeen so you going have sex with a minor. Harsh reality you prick that you don’t know me at all. Since you told little life story so I tell mines. My father left me and mama when I was seven then we got robbed the three robbers starting taking turns to raped her and I was begging them to stop I was helpless as nine year forced hiding so they won’t doing the same thing to me.” Nao starts to cry from reliving that horror experience. “We suffered the misfortune of targeting by them on that night and after that anything went to hell for me as my so call aunt and uncle better off for me being dumped at the orphanage then being bothered. I closed my heart so I won’t let anyone in so I won’t be hurt. Mama came out of her coma I was happy for very first time in long while.” Nao had a genuine smile before reverting back having a sneer.
“You have a chance to man-up and taking care your girlfriend in her time of need but you decided being a coward and now she and her child will suffer because you won’t adopting some another guy’s child and her family forced her going fate worse than death. You and her family are the worst kind scrum due of your selfishness. You aren’t the worth to rob so you’ll experience some humiliation.” Nao was deciding to leave.
“Come back and untie me you will regret for crossing me I have connections to make your life miserable. I never hear from last of me,” Kinjo was ranting as Nao ignoring him.
Shiho heard Nao’s story how she was jaded by life. “Poor Yuuki-san she has suffered through her pain.” Shiho felt genuine sorry for Nao. “Maybe I need learn more about her,” Shiho slipped away from the door heading back to school.
Nao was silently headed back to the dorms and avoiding the Executive Committee. “I swear someone was following me,” Nao thought as she was sensing someone trailing her back to the school ground.
