Mamoru’s Point of View
-Dragon Clan-
“Goodbye Ryuzaki-kun!!!”
A group of girls huddled together and said their goodbye to me in unison as I walked out of the room. Hmm, has it always been this way?
Yes, it has, even during my juniors and elementary days too… though I don’t really mind. Being greeted by people is nice. Besides, I do the same anyway!
I waved back and started to exit the school grounds. As I was stepping away, eyes were following my every movement, tracing me up and down.
It’s freaking me out!!
I don’t have any idea as to why people, especially girls, look at me when I walk. Was there something funny with the way I walked?
D-d-don’t tell me there’s a hole in my pants?
B-b-b-b-but!! I always check it every night and day before going to school! I swear I didn’t rip it or anything…. D-d-did I?!
N-No, there definitely isn’t. I checked it this morning!
Guhhh, why am I being so defensive? I have to hurry to the car so I can check it out!!
There’s no way I’m going to Ichimiya Academy if there’s a huge black hole in my pants!!
I slowly peeked at the people watching me as I walked, checking to see if there was anyone who would find me suspicious. With that, I started moving my legs, running to where my ride was waiting for me.
RUN!!
RUN!!!
They can’t see the holes in my pants, if there were any when I run as fast as Speedy Gonzales!
Hmm. Running reminds me of a song by girl’s generation. Yeah~
You better run, run, run, run run!
If I didn’t need to go to Ichimiya today, I would’ve gone home straight to dance! I love dancing neh~
From a small distance, I slowly see the figure of my car and our driver.
Run devil run!~
I smiled and ran faster, waving my arms.
Woo~ Run devil run!
Finally, I stopped in front of the car and greeted him.
I guess I must have been too focused on the song that was on my head earlier because I never really noticed that someone was chasing and calling me from behind.
Whoever that was, they crashed onto my back, making me lean on the car’s front. I turned my head to peek at my back’s attacker and was surprised to find out that this person was chasing me.
“Ah! Ryuzaki!! Don’t just ignore people calling you and suddenly stopping like that without warning!!”
It was Hayato Mikoshiba.
I wonder why he is here.
“A-ah, sorry about that. I didn’t know you were calling me!” I laughed and then he jerked a little.
“Guhh. Anyways, are you on your way to Ichimiya?” his eyes glanced from me to my driver. Why is he asking me that?? And why did he chase me earlier??
W-wait! Does that mean he wants to be friends with me?? Really?! Hayato Mikoshiba, the coolest person in our school, wants to be friends with a simple guy like me?!?
OH MY GOODNESS!
I am being acknowledged….
Ahhh…
I’m so happy that I could cry….
An earthquake suddenly came over my body as I realized that Miko-… I mean, Hayato was shaking me with both arms, “Hey! Don’t ignore my question!”
“Oh…”
Slowly and I mean, really slowly, a smile formed onto my lips.
I-if Hayato wants to be friends with me, then I should show him that I’m happy to be his friend! He has to see it properly so that he won’t think I’m dissing him!
“Yes, I am... Ha-ya-to-kuuuun~”
Once again, he jerked away from me and swallowed, “O-okay…….creepy.”
“Hm??” I blinked cheerfully and gave my best smile
He cleared his throat and nodded, “Let’s go together on your ride, if you don’t mind.”
“W-what? That’s absurd!” scowled my driver, “Don’t get too friendly with the master, charcoal clan!” Hayato shifted his view at my driver and scowled back, “What did you just call my family?!”
Oh no! This is bad! Izumi-san shouldn’t provoke him… it’ll ruin our friendship!!!! Just when we’ve started to get to know each other too!!
“Izumi-saaaan!” I approached my driver and opened the driver’s door, “Don’t be mean to Hayato-kun, neh?? He was just asking me to hang out with him~”
“G-gah, master?” he questioned me, but before he could speak, I gave him the best Mamoru Ryuzaki smile that I know he couldn’t and will never be able to resist <3
With a small sigh, he agreed and soon, the three of us were on our way to Ichimiya academy. Izumi-san was driving while Hayato and I were sitting together in the backseats.
Man, was I excited! You know the kind of excited where you just want to skip instead of walk? Or like, you just can’t help but hum a tune and swing your head all cheerfully and stuff?? YES, I was so excited because I’m going to be hanging out with the coolest person in my school and then meet the person who would make my dreams come true!~
“So, uhm… Ryuzaki”
“YES?” I cheerfully replied to Hayato in haste.
What does my new friend want to talk about??? Ahhh~ I’m so excited~~ ☆☆
“Gack!” He jerked back just like earlier.
He’s been doing that a lot, huh? I wonder if Hayato doesn’t have a sense of balance. OH! Maybe I should give him a wheelchair and then I could push his chair around and and and we could hang out, even more, ~ waaah~
“Eh… g-geez, what’s with you?” he scratched the back of his head and fixed his position on the seat, “Anyway… so tell me, you’re cool with the whole deal with the Scarlet clan? About trying to make a guy spread his legs for you?”
Spread… legs??
“HAYATO!!” I slapped him and giggled uncontrollably, “You don’t have to imagine things with Kei-chan that far ahead! Ahahehheheaheh~~”
“Ouch! That hurts!” He whined, “G-geez, I wasn’t imagining any-…”
I giggled more and covered my mouth with the top part of my fingers like how an old lady laughs, “HA-YA-TO is a PERV. OHOHOHOHO~~ ☆”
Starting from his chin to his forehead, Hayato’s face turned into a sea of red as he scowled at me, “Sh-shut up! I wasn’t imagining any crap! W-why would I think of doing that kind of stuff with a guy?! DISGUSTING!”
“Eheheh” My giggled faded and I regained my composure, “But in all seriousness, if my father wants me to do something as crazy as this, then it is my responsibility to grant his wish.”
That’s right, I will do anything my father tells me to do.
There is no way I would deny what my dad asks because…
“My life’s duty is to follow our clan leader’s wishes, and that duty is something I will never abandon. It is with me forever.”
Because every time he asks me to do something for him, he grants me something I want in return.
No, no, no, it’s not money, or girls, or cars.
I don’t even want power.
All I want is something simple…
Arashi merchandise!!!!
Yes, that’s right.
My father bribes me into doing his chores by paying me merchandise of my favourite Idol group~
Arashi!
If you don’t know Arashi, then I suggest you open your computer and google them. YOU ARE MISSING MORE THAN HALF OF YOUR LIFE IF YOU DON’T KNOW ARASHI. I SWEAR.
Because of them, my whole childhood was a happy one… I’ve memorized all their songs, their dances, which costumes were worn, and and and….
Haaaah~
Ehem, I’m getting off topic here!
A-anyways…
I wasn’t really that desperate for merchandise when dad told me to win the heart of Ohno-san’s son… I mean come on! T-that is another guy we are talking about here… I have a pride as a man!
Knowing me, my dad found a way to make me agree with his plans.
Two tickets with a backstage pass to Arashi’s concert in TKY dome.
YES
Two tickets
WITH BACKSTAGE PASSES
To the one, the only
ARASHI
How could I say no?
I’ve never seen them live…. How much more even speak to them! It doesn’t matter what I have to do, I must get those tickets!!
And so, that is how I have finally realized that Kei Ohno, the son of the Scarlet clan, is the man who will make my dreams come true.
Ti amo~
“R-Ryuzaki!!!” Hayato’s voice made me return to reality. He was in tears, biting his trembling lower lip. “I-I… I’ve never seen a man so dedicated to his clan. I AM MOVED.”
“Eh?” I titled my head and smiled.
Izumi, my driver was also in tears as he spoke in a croaking voice, “M-master!!! I will follow your example!!! Long live the dragon clan!!!”
“Long live the dragon clan!!” Hayato covered his eyes as he yelled in a crying manner.
W-wow… Are those tears of joy?
I looked at the window and realized we had finally arrived in Ichimiya academy, “Ah! We’re here!”
“Eh?” Hayato also checked the window and then grinned, “About time!”
The car parked and dropped us off. I told Izumi-san to not wait for us anymore since we were meeting Kei-chan, I think it would be best to walk home together. Don’t you think, neh?~
Students that were going out of Ichimiya academy looked at our direction. Even as we turned our backs, eyes were still following our every step.
O-oh my god!! I just realized…
I forget to check if I ripped my pants!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OHOSHFDIOXCSNIAHDISHDIWERMI!!!!!
Panicking, I desperately tried to see the back part of my pants if there really was something wrong with it.
G-g-g-g-gaaah!! Where is it?
Where is it??
My panic had stopped as soon as I heard a girl squeal in terror.
“W-wait! I was just asking if you know Kei-…!”
And then I saw it, Hayato was scaring that poor girl! Oh why! How could Hayato think of playing a prank on people he doesn’t even know? Maybe he’s just that friendly? Ohoho~ how cute!
I skipped towards them and greeted the girl with my usual Mamoru Ryuzaki smile, “He~llo. I’m sorry about my friend! He just loves to play around… we were just wondering if you know someone named Kei Ohno~?”
The frown on her face transformed into a warm smile, “So c-cool…”
I titled my head and smiled, “Do you?”
“Ah!” She nodded rapidly and smiled at me, “Yes! Keiji Ohno Is actually my classmate. You’ll find him somewhere in the garden over there!” her finger pointed to a direction leading to Kei-chan’s whereabouts.
“Thank you.” I smiled once again and grabbed Hayato’s arm, “Ha-ya-to~ Let’s go!”
I could hear the delight in the girl’s voice as we walked to where Kei-chan was.
She must be so happy she made new friends today! That makes two of us! Ehehe~
Reaching the garden that the girl spoke of, Hayato and I found ourselves in a land of beautiful flowers and lush green grass. It was amazing.
No scratch that. It was breathtaking.
It was like one of those gardens you’d see in a pretty romance movie. Oh man, I wish I could fall in love in a place like this… so romantic!!
My eyes stopped roaming around the beautiful scenery as I spotted Kei-chan, sleeping soundly on the grass.
Ahhh… he’s just like a little prince in his garden.
It would be bad to wake him up…
“Oi, wake u-…”
Bad! This is bad! Hayato!!! You can’t just disturb people sleeping!!!
Hurriedly, I grabbed Hayato, who was crouching down near the sleeping prince and covered his mouth.
I whispered frantically, “H-hayato-kun! You shouldn’t ruin his sleep…!”
He struggled and swiped my hand off his mouth, “Haaa?? We didn’t come here to watch him snooze like a baby!”
“Shhh!!! Hayato-kun!!! It’s rude to be noisy around people who are resting!!” I didn’t let go of him yet, not until he says he won’t wake Kei-chan up.
“Don’t shush me! What are you suggesting huh? Give sleeping beauty a kiss so he’ll open his eyes???” Hayato continued to struggle, but I didn’t give up with holding him back either.
“Hayato!!”
“Ryuzaki!! Let go!!!”
“So noisy”
Both I and Hayato stopped and froze at the sight of the petite boy in front of us, rose from his slumber.
“Ah!” Hayato let himself loose from me and sat up on the ground. I gained my senses back and smiled apologetically at the person in front of us, “You’re Kei Ohno… yes? I’m Mamoru Ryuzaki and this is Hayato Mikoshiba…. Nice to meet you! Neh~?”
“Nice to meet you…Ohno-san…” Hayato bowed his head.
I extended my hand to Kei and gave my best smile like always. He looked at my hand for a while, “Ryu…Miko…”
We were all in silence as Kei-chan was staring suspiciously at my hand. Suddenly, he gave a really scary and cold glare at both me and Hayato.
It was so scary that it made the two of us jerk back.
Let me tell you, his eyes spoke of death. It felt like there were a million needles passing through your body rapidly and unendingly.
It was that freaky.
“Thanks for waking me up” He stood up from the ground and coldly walked away from us.
“Wait a minute!” Hayato quickly stood up and grabbed me to stand up too. We followed Kei-chan as he nonchalantly exited Ichimiya academy.
“Go away” Kei-chan hissed.
“A-ah! Hayato and I didn’t mean to wake you up!” I explained as we continued walking away to wherever in the streets.
“But you did anyway. Which is why you are both annoying” He said plain and easy without even looking my face.
“Yeah but… we were just excited to meet you Kei-chan!” I gave a smile at him and he looked at me.
“What did you just call me?”
“Kei-chan!” I smiled cheerfully.
He stopped looking at me and continued walking, “Disgusting.”
“W-wha?...” I weakly responded.
Our walk was then interrupted when….
“Ohoho, you kids got some nerve coming by our turf” A hoarse voice spoke from around the corner, revealing a fat man who was grinning evilly at us.
“Nye, you brats should be taught a lesson. Ahehehe!” Another guy comes out from a different corner, having the same grin as the previous man.
One after the other, a number of scary looking men came out and surrounded the three of us.
“Turf? Ah? Who are you guys?” Hayato asked them bravely.
Kei-chan shook his head and started to walk again, “This is a waste of my time. Get out of my way.”
“Watch your mouth, you brat!” The fat man rushed towards Kei-chan and was preparing to attack him with his fist.
“Kei-chan!!” I started to move my legs, rushing to protect Kei-chan from getting hurt.
BAM
I froze in shock and so did everyone else.
Kei-chan had caught the man’s arm.
He gripped the man’s arm tightly and it was obvious in the man’s face that it was a painful kind of grip. Kei-chan glared at the man and spoke softly, “Don’t touch me, you filth.”
Another man yelled at his companions, “What are you guys waiting for?! Beat the s**t out of these arrogant punks!!”
They all shouted at the top of their lungs and charged at me and Hayato.
Oh man… I just hate fighting…
But I have no choice. I have to protect Hayato and Kei-chan!
“Hayato! Kei-chan! Be careful!” I yelled at them as I started to fight off the men who were charging at me. Hayato replied with enthusiasm, “Let the fun begin!!”
BAM!
POW!
THUD!
I avoided the man’s charge at me and quickly send my knee to his stomach, hearing a loud groan escape from his lips.
His body fell to the ground, along with the other guys I had previously protected myself from. Hayato and Kei-chan seem to be fine too.
“Guh! You brats…! You’ll pay for this!” A man hissed at the three of us.
Hayato slowly took steps towards the man and gave him a scary look, “Do you honestly think a bunch of punks like you can beat the sons of the Fire, Dragon, and Scarlet clan?”
“What? No! I-I-it… can’t be…” the man backed away from us while trembling, “T-the fire….dragon…and scarlet…? Together?!”
“Let’s just forget it ever happened okay? Now leave us alone!!” Hayato yelled with no fear in him. Instantly, all the men ran away from the scene while shouting things like ‘Run for your lives!!’ or ‘We’re in big trouble!!’
Wow-… so this is the power of the fire clan. So… Cool…… I wish I could talk like that….
“Woah!! Hayato!! Hayato!!” I hopped up and down like a bunny and smiled, “That was so cool!!! You were so cool back there!!”
“Hm?” He looked at me and then grinned, stroking his bangs, “Heh, well, what can I say? I am Hayato Mikoshiba! Ahahahah!”
“I… I am not worthy in your presence, Hayato-sama!” I bowed at him and then he laughed. He then slapped my back with a grin on his face, “You did a pretty good job too, Ryuzaki!”
“Eh? What’s the slap for?” I titled my head.
“Oh. It’s like… saying, good job!” He gave a thumbs up, “You can do it to me too! Come on, try it.”
“Ahh! Okay!” So with that, I slapped Hayato’s back just like how he did the same to me earlier. We both laughed.
Kei-chan started walking again without a word.
Oh right!! We should include Kei-chan too since he also did a good job!!
“Ah! Kei-chan wait!” I rushed towards him, “Let me and Hayato do the same to you and you can do it to us too, neh??”
“Oh!” Hayato said with zest and approached us, “You’re right. You actually fought pretty well Ohno-san!”
“Ha?” Kei-chan questioned without looking at us, “What are you going to-…”
SPLAK
~~~
“We’re very sorry!!! We truly are!!!”
“I don’t know what got over him, but my i***t son will apologize for what he has done!!!”
Me, my dad, Hayato, and Hayato’s dad were bowing down on the ground, apologizing repeatedly to the great leader of the Scarlet clan, Izayoi Ohno.
Apparently, both Hayato and I slapped Kei-chan’s back at the same time with the same strength and well… he ended up…
“Well, what am I going to do? My son can’t do much with a broken right arm” Izayoi-sama said in a disappointed tone.
Dad continued to bow, “We are very sorry for our sons’ actions! We will pray for Keiji-sama’s recovery!”
“Hmmm…” Izayoi-sama then looked at Kei-chan, “What do you think we should do?”
Kei-chan glared at me and Hayato without hesitation, “Send them to hell.”
W-what!?!?!?!?
N-n-n-n-n-no!! I have to see Arashi before I die!!!
The four of us quickly bowed repeatedly to Izayoi-sama and Kei-chan while apologizing endlessly.
“We’re very sorry Ohno-sama! We’re very sorry! We will do anything for Kei-chan’s recovery!!” My dad said without thinking.
“Oh? Anything?” Izayoi-sama giggled, “Alrightie then… I understand your apologies.”
He walked towards Hayato and me, “Since you both did this to my son, then I will have to ask you two to repent for it.”
“Ah yes!! My i***t son will do what he can Ohno-sama!!” Hayato’s dad exclaimed as he forced Hayato to do another bow.
“G-geez dad…” Hayato grumbled quietly.
Izayoi-sama nodded with a gentle smile.
“Alright! So from this day until my son recovers from his injury, I will have Mamoru Ryuzaki and Hayato Mikoshiba become Kei’s personal maids.”
“WHAT?!” everyone except Izayoi-sama yelled at his request.
Izayoi-sama simply laughed at us in reply, “Please take care of my son, Mamo-kun, Hayato-kun~”
