I see… he reminds me a bit of myself.
This should be interesting.
When Izayoi Ohno announced that he wanted us, the sons of the five clans, to win his son’s heart I didn’t really have any trouble accepting it. Although I did try to hide the fact that I was fine with it…
Why was it easy for me you ask?
That’s simple.
Women don’t interest me. They are boring, noisy, and demanding creatures who cannot live without thinking of men in a perverse way. The only female that I would associate myself with is my loving mother.
To cut it short, I prefer to take all my emotional and s****l interests towards men.
But this is something I’ve never told anyone, not even my father. It’s not that I’d want to keep it a secret from the world, I just don’t find any logical reasons as to why I need to tell anyone. It is unimportant.
Going back to the main story, this Scarlet clan business is going to be a simple task for me. Although I am not experienced in emotional situations, I have a vast array of research for the romantics.
Winning Keiji Ohno will be done in a snap of a finger.
~~~
Conveniently for me, I am attending an all-male school, so facing women isn’t usual here. Many of the students here are in the same situation as I am, preferring boys over girls, and since that is so, it’s not rare to find them doing s****l things with one another in one of the classrooms.
Actually, it happens often.
Many boys do it.
I think I see it happen like two to three times a week with different kinds of students.
But unlike them, I don’t behave in such a barbaric manner. I believe it should be done in a proper way, on a comfortable play such as a bed. Also, even though the people that surround me are males, there was never one who I found interesting.
They’re all the same. Normal, noisy, and have trouble controlling their hormonal levels.
Anyways, it was late in the afternoon and club activities are soon over. I must take my leave and head home to do more research on Keiji Ohno.
I walked into the hall that was leading to the stairs. My classroom was on the third floor and I think I was the only left on it.
Well, that was when I heard the sounds of desks screeching back and forth. I rolled my eyes.
It must be another pair of students doing it in one of the classrooms. Can’t they just go to a hotel or something?
I continued to walk, reaching the classroom where those students were probably in. Now in our school, all the doors in the classrooms had rectangular windows, so even if they were closed and you were just passing by, you would see what was inside of the room.
Nonchalantly, my eyes shifted to the glass on the door. The two guys were doing it in front of the door. One of them was being laid down on the desk, while the other was thrusting in him standing up. I couldn’t really tell who the one standing up was because his back was facing me, but I could clearly see who the one laying down was.
The school harlot, Kaoru Onodera.
Whenever you hear the name Kaoru Onodera, there will never be a chance for you to hear it without people mentioning anything about s*x.
During his juniors, I heard he did it with almost 100% of the student body and even with teachers too. But somehow nobody is getting him expelled.
Now that he's a first-year in our school, he isn’t holding back in making his name continue.
I was going to continue my walk, but my body froze when my eyes had locked themselves with Kaoru Onodera’s eyes staring back.
His irises were of a gorgeous light color, mixed with a hue of chestnut. I hate to admit it, but his eyes are captivating. I couldn’t stop staring.
But it was also scary at the same time. They never stopped looking at me; it was as if Kaoru Onodera’s eyes were looking through my soul, piercing every inch of my being.
I should stop looking at him.
I should stop-…
With eyes that never stopped staring, a sly smile slowly slips into Kaoru Onodera’s lips.
I don’t know why but, as soon as that smile appeared in front of me, I felt like I was stabbed. My heart froze in a second and I couldn’t understand what kind of emotions were stirring up in me.
Hurriedly, I run away as fast as I could, never looking back at the sight I had witnessed.
When I got home I locked myself in my room and opened my computer.

Keiji Ohno
Now then… since Ohno stays at home all the time, it’s best I pay him a visit. It’s a little bit early still, so maybe I should go there now.
Taking a cab, I arrived in the Scarlet clan house alone. One of the clan members offered to take me to Keiji Ohno, apparently, he was in one of their lounges. As I walked in the building, clan members were staring at me with suspicious eyes.
I won’t attack your princess or your king, guards. You can all settle down.
The man leading me to Keiji Ohno stopped his footsteps in front of a room with no door, bowing as he greeted the ones inside, “Young master, you have a visitor.”
He looked at me, “You may enter” with that, he bowed and left the scene. I took steps toward the room and was surprised by what I saw.
Eh?
What’s this?
What are the fire and dragon clans doing here?!
So they’ve already made their move…. I was too late.
Keiji Ohno was sitting peacefully on the floor, reading a book while Hayato Mikoshiba and Mamoru Ryuzaki were there with him. Who knows what they’re doing here.
“Ah! He~llo!!! You look familiar!” Ryuzaki approached me with a huge smile on his face. I took a step backward, “… hello. I’m Toshiro Sakama… nice to meet you.”
Continuing his smile, which by the way is very bright, he spoke, “You’re from the Wolf clan, right?? If I remember…! I’m Mamoru Ryuzaki!” he pointed to the other guy behind him, “and that’s Hayato!”
Mikoshiba raised his hand, waving it with a grin on his face, “Yo.”
W-why are they so familiar and close with another??? Don’t the fire Clan and the dragon Clan hates each other to the core???! I… I can’t believe my database was wrong…!
N-no! I couldn’t have been wrong…
Ryuzaki hopped and smiled at me endlessly, “SOOOOOO~ did you come to visit Kei-chan too, Shiro-kuuun? I’ll call you Shiro okay?? Heheh~”
S-SHIRO?
What is wrong with this guy? He should call me Sakama!!
“Actually, I-…” I spoke but was cut off shortly by Mikoshiba, “What? First, it was Kei and now Shiro? Do you always call people by nicknames??”
Eh?
Kei…?
“Well, it’s cute if I do! And it’s so tiring to say names properly…” Ryuzaki laughed while Mikoshiba shook his head in disagreement, “You’re just being lazy, Ryuzaki!”
W-what?
What’s with this atmosphere?!?!?!
“Ehhh?? No, I’m not! Try saying it even! Keiiiii-jiiii….. it’s tiring to say!” Ryuzaki as he took steps towards Mikoshiba. In reply, Mikoshiba teased, “Ryuzaki is lazy. Lazy, lazy, laaaazy~ Hah Hah”
They’re acting like children! What’s with them???
Have they actually forgotten about my presence?
“No, I’m not! No, I’m not!! Keiji isn’t as cute as Kei-chan and I bet Kei-chan agrees with me! Right, Kei-chan?!”
Keiji Ohno put down the book he was reading and looked at Ryuzaki and everybody was in silence, waiting for his response.
What’s he going to say?
I bet he would just ignore it… that’s what my research has told me about.
I think he is going to. He will, no doubt.
“Repulsive.”
Eh?
He then continued reading his book and didn’t look at them.
He just… I can’t believe he…
Mikoshiba’s laughter could be heard and Ryuzaki whined yet again, “EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH? Kei-chaaaan! That’s really mean!!”
My researching… was wrong?
How could this be?
Have I already lost the game when I’ve just started to play?
That’s…
I can’t…
That’s impossible…
Quickly, I started moving my legs away from them and ran to wherever the exit was.
Why were they so close?
Have Ryuzaki and Mikoshiba already gotten the upper hand?
But I thought I was on top because they preferred women…
My database told me that they did…
It couldn’t be wrong…!
It should have been flawless!!
I reached a corner which was turning. As I was heading to turn, I crashed into someone and fell down on my behind.
THUD
“Auck!”
I froze for a second, shocked to see a familiar face in front of me.
What in the world is Kaoru Onodera doing here…?
“You… you’re…” he looked at me in surprise. But I gave him no chance to speak to me as I stood up in haste and ran away from the scene.
~~~
“Sakama-san! Sakama-san!”
I snapped into my senses, finding myself sitting down on my desk in school, “Huh?”
One of my classmates was shaking me to wake up. It was around lunch time and I had dozed off probably.
“What is it?”
“Someone is looking for you outside the classroom.”
“Oh…” I nodded and stood up, saying my thank you to him and then walking towards the door.
Hmm, who could be waiting for me? No one usually asks where I am.
“Yo!” waving his hand at me was none other than Kaoru Onodera.
I jerked back. Wha-What-What!?! What did he want from me??!
…I can still remember the look he had on his face when I saw him doing those things with that other guy.
He giggled, “What was that reaction for? Am I scary?” moving his hand, he called me to come near him. I reciprocated slowly, and walk towards him.
Yes, you are scary.
“How can I help you?” I asked, wanting to leave this guy here and now. He giggled yet again, “Wow. So formal and everything… very cute~”
This guy is really… annoying.
But this might actually be a good chance for me to ask why he was in the Scarlet Clan's place last night…
“I have something to ask you”
“Hm?” He smiled.
I placed my arm on his shoulders and moved us both near the windows so no one would hear. Whispering, I said, “What were you doing in the Scarlet clan’s house yesterday?”
“Me?” His eyes blinked a few times, “I live there.”
HUH?
HE LIVES THERE? WHY?
“Don’t joke with me. I’m being serious here.”
He blinked twice again, “Yeah, I do live there.”
… He really isn’t kidding, is he?
But why would he be living there? Does that mean he’s a clan member?
At this age?
He smiled at me, “Tsk Tsk, Sakama-kun, you shouldn’t have interest in me you know, and although I’m not surprised you do. But anyways, if you do, then you’ll probably lose Keiji”
“Huh? Wait, how’d you know about that?” I jerked back.
Was he really a clan member?
“Onodera is just a mask, Sakama-kun. Heh heh heh”
“Mask? What are you talking about?!” I scowled.
He gave a sly smile and extended his hand to me, “Nice to meet you, I’m Kaoru Ohno.”
Ka…
Ka…
Kaoru….
KAORU OHNO?!
WHAT?!
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!!?
My skin grew pale and I was frozen in place. Not moving an inch. Onodera’s laughter invaded my ears, “Actually… Keiji is my older brother. I’m not using the same surname because I want to be called with my mother’s name.”
Bro…ther?
Now that you mention it, my database did say Keiji Ohno had a sibling. I just didn’t think it would be important for me to know…
“I see… Thank you for answering my question” Slowly, I turned my back and took a step. My walk was stopped as Onodera grabbed me by the arm, “wait just a minute! I haven’t said what I needed to say, big boy! ♥”
“Ack!” Taken back towards him, Onodera had pulled me close to him, and he had the same sly smile he had earlier.
Seeing him like this… kind of reminds me of Izayoi Ohno-san’s smile….
“I happen to know all the tricks that can make my brother tick, and since I’m such a nice guy, I’m willing to help you out Sakama-kun….”
“Really…?”
This is a chance… I have to take it….
“Yes. But for a price, of course.” He smiled.
I knew it. There was no way he’d do me a favor without giving something in return.
“What?” I asked.
Obviously, it’s something that will involve dangerous activities that would maximize my skills in computer. He’ll probably tell me to find information about the Scarlet clan’s enemies and hack into their security systems.
His index finger trailed from my shoulder down to my elbow slowly, “Midterms are going to be coming soon and I heard you topped all of your tests last year”
Eh?
What.
What.
“Right now, I’m having a hard time with my Math and Science. So…” He giggled.
Is this guy for real?
“So basically, you’re asking me to tutor you because you’re failing????” I asked with a monotone voice.
He nodded cheerfully, “Yes! And I’m hoping you will say yes! Okay~?”
I… I can’t believe this guy!!!!
How could he ask me to do something as simple as tutoring?!?! I thought he’d ask me to do something I’d probably be interested in!!!
But… alright, If that’s what he wants.
Besides, Ryuzaki and Mikoshiba have got the upper hand already. It won’t really hurt if I get this child to help me out.
I… I want to win this game no matter what.
“Okay. I’ll do it, but you better do what you can to help me too.”
“AH?! Really?!?!” His face brightened and then he wrapped his arms around me tight, “THANK YOU SAKAMA-KUUUN! I LOVE YOU~ ♥”
“Okay! Okay! L-Let go!” I squirmed from his hold and then he unwrapped himself from me.
He smiled and took steps backward, waving his hand at me.
“I promise, I’ll make you win my brother’s heart, Sakama-kun.”
