Shuna blew the few strands of hair away from her nose, leaning on the pillar as she waits for her friends. The first one to arrive is Yuuka, wearing her usual black t-shirt that only reaches down to her waist, with her mid waist denim shorts. "The first one as ever, huh." Shuna smirked when she saw the usual poker faced Yuuka.

"It's not my fault I'm the quickest." She casually said, leaning beside her as well. Taking out a piece of bubblegum before stuffing it in her mouth. "And the others are slow. Okay. But, should you really say that? What if Maika heard you?" Shuna smirked again when she felt Yuuka flinched when she heard Maika's name.

"I'm never going to say anything about her again. I'm not referring to Maika." Yuuka shook her head.

"And, you mean we're slow?" Arisa crept behind Yuuka, scaring the crap out of her. "Are you saying it's not true then?" Yuuka innocently tilted her head to the side, looking at Arisa in confusion - resulting her to huff in annoyance.

"This is why no one wants to be your friend." Arisa rolled her eyes, and greeted Shuna who was merely watching them in amusement. At Arisa's statement, made Yuuka kind of sad. She sulked in the corner before muttering, "But you're friends with me anyways."

"Pfft!" Miyu cackled as she witnessed the funny scene from afar, but weirdly hearing what they are saying. Beside her is Karin, smiling gently. "Hey guys!" Miyu shouted at the top of her lungs to catch their attention.

Shuna catching sight of her favourite person, Karin - immediately ran up to her and latched herself onto Karin. Hugging her tightly. "I missed you Karin!"

"We...always see each other everyday." Karin sweatdropped.

Shuna shook her head, "No, every minute I should be spending is be always beside you! It's my rule!"

"Shuna! Don't oggle up Karin too much, or she'll hate you." Yuuka bluntly said behind her. Shuna flinched and glared at Yuuka.

"This is why no one likes you." Yuuka was shot again in the heart, going back to sulking again. "But you guys like me..." She muttered, drawing circles on the wall using her pointed finger.

"Anyways, Yui and Maika aren't here yet. What happened to them?" Shuna asked them, as if on cue - Karin's cellphone vibrated. Maika texted her that she won't be coming with them because her brother is sick today.

There's also Yui's text that she'll be late, because she's busy installing some cctv's around the area.

"Can't be help. Let's go and watch the fight!" Arisa excitedly bounced walking away, everyone following after. Miyu snickered as she watched Arisa skupping on every steps she takes.

"I bet you're excited because you want to test your luck or something."

"As a gamer, luck is a skill. I can't miss out this opportunity to try out my skill!" Arisa clenched her fist in determination, causing Yuuka and Shuna look at her in disbelief.

"Luck is a skill huh. Surely you don't have them." Shuna said, crossing her arms. "What do you mean i don't have them?! I always find way to escape!" Arisa pointed her finger on Shuna, still can't believe that their leader is making fun of her skill.

"Yeah, that's because it's a skill pertaining your mind. It doesn't have to do with this luck. What an idiot." Shuna huffed in annoyance, at what she said made Arisa silent. But pouting in embarassment is not excluded.

Miyu let out a confused hum when she saw the underground fight from afar, beating up a guy who seems to be enduring all the punches and kicks from a very familiar guy. Karin, who noticed it as well, stopped walking.

Arisa, Shuna and Yuuka stopped as well and looked at Karin. "Karin, what's wrong?" Arisa asked.

Karin pointed at the underground fight with a very worried expression, "Hey, that guy is going to die at that rate..." She almost whispered by how low her voice sounded.

Her friends turned to look at the direction Karin's pointing at, some of them felt pity and worry, but there's one of them who felt very amazed. Shuna is amazed.

"For him to endure all that beatings, he's a very admirable guy." Shuna smirked, turning to look at Karin - her gaze asking her what to do.

Arisa brought her fist infront of her, "What do you want to do Karin? I'll blast his head immediately at your command!"

"I'll join in~" Miyu bounced on her place.

Sensing her friend's persistence, she gulped and finally moved her mouth. "Please help that guy!"

"Yes, ma'am!" Arisa saluted, throwing her pebble upwards on air and catching it perfectly. She grinned, showing her fangs.

Aiming at Kiyomasa's head, she threw the pebble at the speed of a bullet. The pebble accurately hit Kiyomasa's forehead, the impact of the pebble was so great it made him stagger backwards, while his forehead were already dripping with blood.

"Headshot!" Arisa cheered.

"That's ten points! Whoo!" Miyu high fived with Shuna and Arisa.

"Accurate as usual." Shuna smiled.

"It's scary how she can hit accurately even at this distance." Yuuka muttered but was clearly heard by Karin.

"How's that, Karin?" Arisa grinned at Karin, waiting for a praise. Karin let out a relieved smile. "Yes, that was amazing as usual."

"Karin praised me!" Arisa clenched her hands, smiling ear to ear and letting out a touched expression.

"Oi! You're not the only one Karin praised today, idiot!" Miyu smacked Arisa's head.

Karin ignored their bickering and looked at where Kiyomasa is, he is shouting and yelling who the hell threw a pebble at him. And since the Koketsucho gang were far away from them, he can't see them.

Soon, he became very impatient and irritated that he asked for a bat. And that, made Karin move on her place - running towards the underground fight.

The girls who also noticed Karin's sudden movement, ran up to her.

"Bring my bat!!"

The girls' ears perked up when they heard the guy ask for a bat, at the underground fight at that - it is supposed to be a hand on hand fight, but asking for a bat when your opponent is especially not your match, is considered cheating and straight out wicked.

Normally, Shuna would've love it if it was a situation where a fight is equal between two opponents, she could let out her wickedness at that kind of fight. But this kind of fight, is a different shrewdness that she doesn't like at all. It is straight out very lame, disgusting and disrespectful.

Shuna can't help but to click her tongue in annoyance. Right at that moment, she finally had a reason to feel very annoyed and irritated.

"Bring it on, I'm gonna kill you." Kiyomasa smiled wide eyed at the blonde haired guy.

Karin and the girls arrived at the scene, stopping abruptly - Shuna glared at Kiyomasa, while Miyu is cracking her hands. Ready for a round two today.

"Karin, can I beat that guy up?" Shuna's chilling calm voice brought shiver to the members' spine. They looked at Shuna and saw her serious dark expression. They just knew at that moment, that Kiyomasa guy is finished.

"Go." Karin whispered, although she doesn't like watching fight - she wants to save that guy from a horrible beating as much as possible. His face are full of bruises and fresh blood, it made Karin clench her hands in worry and guilt.

Shuna didn't waste any moment and moved like lightning, "Get out of the way, brats!" Shuna shouted at the top of her lungs as she slid through the railings of the stairs, before jumping high.

All the guys who heard her voice looked up at her whose still on air, everything seems to move in slow motion, Takemichi gaped at the scene infront of him - until shock filled his entire system as he witnessed the girl threw a round house kick at Kiyomasa's face while she's still on air.

The time turned back to normal and everyone stared at the purple haired beauty, putting her heels on Kiyomasa's face. Not forgetting to add more pressure than normal, while smiling sadistically.

"You got a lot of balls. Want me to cut one or two? You don't mind, right?" She smiled.

"W-Who the hell are you, bitc-aaak!"

Shuna added more pressure on his face, her heels almost digging inside his cheeks. The pain was so unbearable, he wanted to scream but he can't.

"I don't want to hear that name coming from your dirty mouth." Shuna's tone of voice gradually lowered, she's so not happy that she was almost called a bitch by this trash.

The rest of the members walked down to the underground as well, Karin immediately running towards the injured Takemichi. "I'm sorry." She muttered as soon as she came infront of him, squatting down to match his eye level, she brought out her handkerchief and wiped the blood out of his face.

Takemichi looked at her in confusion, "W-Why are you apologising?" Karin only smiled, but sadness is evident in her eyes. "Because I'm always too late." This greatly confused Takemichi even more.

"Hey, those familiar purple hair, pink haired babe, and that blonde haired childlike girl. Aren't they the famous girl gang, Koketsucho?!"

"No way! This is a first time I saw them!"

"They're famous for being a small girl gang but still is the strongest among the gangs!"

"I heard they're invincible, really strong!"

Miyu smiled in triumph when she heard the other guy's whispering about their very known well group. While Shuna disregarded them, Yuuka casually chewing her bubble gum, and Arisa waving at them.

Karin, who noticed the attention they are receiving, started squirming on her place. "U-Uhm. If it's okay with you, can I take you to my friend's place so I can treat your wounds?" Karin softly asked.

Takemichi was about to reply when a sudden voice interrupted them.

"You girls drew so much attention, again. Befitting the name of a butterfly, huh." Shuna snapped her eyes towards the direction of the voice. "Ah, Draken." Miyu deadpanned when she recognized the voice of her childhood friend.

"We're just teaching this guy a lesson for being such an ass. And no, he doesn't have a hole, it seems." Yuuka bluntly replied, turning her head towards them as well.

Shuna, Karin and Arisa who were confused stayed quiet. "Who are they?" Arisa tilted her head in confusion, this is the first she sees her friends interacting with a male.

"I can see that." Draken looked down at Kiyomasa's pitiful figure under the feet of Shuna. "You sure are worked up, aren't you? Even though you're the host."

Karin stood up and stared at them, only observing from afar. Not wanting to get noticed by the newcomers.

"Good work! President!"

Almost all the guys bowed down to pay respect to the two new comer. Except the girls, Takemichi and his friends who doesn't have any ideas who just arrived.

"Kenchin."

"Huh?! Don't call me by that nickname, Mikey."

"All my dorayaki is gone."

Arisa held her mouth to stop herself from snorting, " Pfft. That short guy is just like Miyu."

"Hey, just because he likes dorayaki as well doesn't mean he's just like me. Stupid Arisa." Miyu pouted, slightly glaring at the girl who just compared her to that short guy.

"Hey, Draken. Who's that short guy behind you?" Yuuka asked, almost making the whole crowd froze on their places in fear. Draken looked at her wide eyed, behind his stunned expression is his nervousness starting to overflow for Yuuka infront of him.

"Mhh...what's your name?" Mikey walked towards Yuuka's place, standing infront of her. His face inches away from her face. The difference is that Yuuka is looking down at him, while Mikey is looking up at her.

"My name is Yuuka. How about you?" Yuuka tilted her head, her face showing nothing but a hint of anticipation. They stared at each other for a couple seconds before Mikey laughed out loud in amusement.

"I like you, Yuuchin. Call me Mikey as well." Mikey patted her shoulder, smiling widely. While Shuna, Yuuka, Arisa, Miyu and Karin only stared at him.

Yuuka, only managed to let out a small. "Oh.." And after that, she watched Mikey walk to the beaten up guy's place, which is Takemichi.

"What's your name?"

"H-Hanagaki Takemichi.."

"I see, Takemicchi."

"Huh? T-Takemicchi?"

"That's what Mikey said, so that's what it is. Right, Takemicchi?"

Shuna who simply watched the scene looked down at the struggling Kiyomasa. Not satisfied with just pressing his face on the ground, she released her feet and squatted down to look directly at his eyes - staring at her in hostility.

Shuna smiled, "What a lovely expression. You know, when someone looks at me like that after i beat them up just sends shivers all over my body." Shuna hugged herself while showing her slightly lewd expression, still smiling but it began getting creepy.

"You haven't felt it before, right? The pain of being tortured until you beg for your life. How lovely, isn't it?" Her low voice, along with her shrewd words and expression - brought a new fear carved inside Kiyomasa's head. He is so sure that starting today, he'll fear facing this girl again in the future.

Call it his intuition, he just had a very bad feeling getting close to Shuna. It's as if a very poisonous snake is starting to wrap around his neck, waiting for him to make a move so it can bite his neck.

Back to Karin, she was glad she wasn't noticed at the background. She ended up blending with the crowd to avoid getting any attention from them.

She wanted to go to Takemichi to treat his wounds right away, but with Mikey and Draken still there, she can't make a move.

She observed from afar, watching Shuna walking away from a very shaken up Kiyomasa 'till he was approached by Mikey, getting punched and kicked on his face.

Arisa, Shuna, and Yuuka left the place and searched for the missing Karin, while Miyu was talking to Draken cheerfully. While also talking to Mikey, only sayiny a few lines though because she still doesn't know him that much.

But all in all, Mikey had a very good impression of them.

...

"Nee, Kenchin." Mikey called out to Draken who was walking silently beside him.

"What?"

"Do you know all the members of Koketsucho?" He asked, curiously looking ahead while he still remembered all of their faces. Except for that one girl who suddenly disappeared out of thin air like she wasn't even in there in the first place.

"No, I only know Miyu there because she used to be my classmate."

"Mmmh...I see. I wonder why such a frail looking girl is at the underground fight?" He asked his self, losing focus while he remember one special thing about her.

To be continued....

How was it? I hope the characters are on point. There's so much happening in one chapter I don't know where to put the spot light. Also, forgive me if you encounter numerous typos and grammatical erros!

› Arisa was in disbelief that Miyu actually had a guy friend.

› Takemichi noticed Karin hiding in the crowd but didn't say anything.
