Chapter 5: Rotten Mouth

((So I realized the plot isn't as exciting as I planned reading back on it but le shrug hopefully I can make it good. My writing has been a little sloppy so hopefully I can improve and fix this horrible plot.))
-
Togami was walking around with Hinata with his arms crossed. "How'd you know it was mine?" He asked and Hinata chuckled, looking up at the sky. "Komaeda told me. He's been spying on you for some reason...don't know why."
Hinata stated and shoved his hands in his pockets. Togami looked at the ground.
"Hmm...that's odd. But hey, what would you expect from someone from the likes of HIM." He said and let out an annoyed puff of air, trying to stay in character.
"I haven't talked to you in an awfully long time...what have you been doing lately?" Hinata asked and glanced at him.
Togami shrugged. "Nothing much. The only person I've really kept in contact with lately is Ibuki. You?" He asked.
"Oh, I've just been hanging out with Komaeda and Chiaki. Oh, and Gundam...." Hinata stated and Togami raised an eyebrow. "Hm? Gundam? That breeder guy? I mean...I would expect Komaeda and Chiaki but...."
Togami started and looked at the floor. "Long story...." Hinata said and scratched the back of his head. "..hey, that reminds me, I'm planning to meet up with Chiaki today. Wanna come?"
"Pfft, and play those useless video games? I'll pass..." Togami said even though he was much of a fan of video games.
"You sure? You don't seem like your busy." Hinata pushed on and finally Togami gave in. He sighed.
"...I suppose..." He mumbled and Hinata grinned. "Great! See you at 3:30 then! Bye!" Hinata said and ran off.
Togami cringed at how he had fallen for his trick. Oh well...he would just have to get on through today somehow. Togami walked into a nearby store and checked the clock. It was 2:00. That meant he had exactly one hour to spare. He began to walk into the store in hopes of finding something to give Ibuki or someone on the island.

Ibuki then stopped crying, and ran outside after Komaeda. She grabbed his arm, and pulled him back. "Ibuki wants to know RIGHT NOW what your planning to do!" She stated with confidence. "...I will let this little kiss slip, but add a little more rumors to the story. Like maybe, you thought you could pick up two guys or something. But, I won't if you agree to do what I say, and if you don't get romantic with Togami." Komaeda said and smiled happily, as if nothing he said was wrong. Ibuki had the urge to hit him, but Owari was around, so she stopped herself. She let go of him and walked back inside.
"Ibuki!" Usami yelled and ran over to her. She noticed the distress on her face, and slowly backed away. She had never seen Ibuki like this before.
Ibuki was infuriated, worried, sad, and confused at the same time. It took her a while to notice Usami staring at her.
"Oh, sorry Usami! It was just a misunderstanding Ibuki had with Komaeda. Nothing much! Ibuki is fine! You know what, Ibuki is really tired. Ibuki is gonna head to bed!"
She exclaimed and walked off to her bedroom. She closed the door shut harshly behind her, and began to hug Dream. Slowly, she started to think. This made no sense to her. No sense at all. But, she had to stay away from Komaeda. He was bad news waiting to happen, and she wasn't going to be a part of it. Okay okay, next thing was she had to stay close to Togami maybe tell him that...no. She couldn't let that slip. But maybe she could be really close friends with him. Or start a secret relationship with him!
Okay, what else. She had to make sure he never spoke of this. But how she had to stay away?
Ibuki didn't own spying equipment, and it would be too suspicious to go and buy some.
Ibuki decided to go to sleep, her head was aching and she wanted to talk to Chi Chi about what she should do.
Hopefully, things wouldn't turn out bad.....
Togami came out of Chiaki's house and spared her a wave goodbye. Video games were pretty fun to him, but he couldn't let others know. The real Togami didn't like video games. He walked back to his room and quickly fell asleep.
-
The next day, Togami knew it was time to meet up with Ibuki. He got ready and ate breakfast.
Ibuki was nervous. She knew Komaeda would be watching them, so how would she manage to get away? Chi Chi wasn't in her dreams yesterday to talk to her, which was saddening. She really needed help! Ibuki thought for a while, then figured out a solution. She ate her breakfast and dashed towards Togami's apartment. Before Togami could walk outside, Ibuki ran up to him, looking awfully worried.
"Hey! Ibuki had the greatest idea! How about we go to the beach today? Not to swim of course, just to relax and such!" Ibuki said in her happiest voice. Togami nodded in approval. "Very well then. Let us be on our way then." He said and began to walk ahead of her. Ibuki followed, hoping that being near the beach house on a different piece of land would help not get spied on. They arrived soon enough, and took a seat on a bench nearby. The sun was bright as ever, and she took a moment to relax. She was more tense than ever before!
"Ibuki...." Togami began, and she turned to make eye contact with him. "Hm?" She asked and slightly tilted her head. "You seem...worried. If there's something bothering you, you can tell me." He said in a serious tone of voice. Ibuki stared at him, and then looked at the floor. The wind brushed against her gently. Should she really tell Togami? I mean, they weren't really in a relationship yet, so...if she explained it well, everything would be alright! Right? Ibuki opened her mouth to speak but noticed Komaeda in the back, smiling at her. She gasped and quickly covered her mouth as to cut it off. "Ibuki?" Togami asked in a worried voice.
"O-oh! You know, let's walk around the beach a bit!" Ibuki said and pulled him up and off the bench and started walking around. "Ibuki, tell me what's wrong." Togami said in a demanding voice, and she bit her lip.
She had to make up a lie, and quickly. If she told him now, Komaeda would know, and then try to trick him into believing something else!
"Ibuki is sorry...Ibuki is just not feeling all that well. Lately Ibuki's been kinda, uh...." She glanced around, then looked at the sand. "...sick, lately. Ibuki didn't want you to worry about her, so...." She said and hoped he would believe her.
He bought it, and nodded. "Ah, I see. We should tell Tsumiki then. I'm sure she could help." He offered and she shook her head and laughed nervously. "No no, honestly, Ibuki is really fine! If Ibuki gets super sick she'll go to Tsumiki, I promise!" She said and glanced back at Komaeda. He was gone.
The two parted ways and Ibuki walked home. She laid down on her couch and sighed. "Ibuki hates lying...." She mumbled and fell asleep.
-
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK.
Ibuki heard the loud echo of a door knock, and lazily rose to her feet. She grumbled and walked over to the door, checking the peep hole. It was Komaeda! I almost tripped over myself, but didn't open the door. I heard him clear his throat. "Hmm, I wonder why you aren't opening up. Maybe it's because you don't want someone as useless as me walking into your apartment...."
He said and let the sentence be followed by a chuckle. Ibuki frowned and clenched her fists together. "If you won't Let me in, I'll just have to tell you from the outside! So, I have a request. You must tell Hajime that you would like to meet him in the lobby. Will you do it?"
Komaeda asked, and Ibuki didn't respond. She heard Komaeda start to walk away, and she sighed with relief. She skipped over to her fridge and started to eat something, when she noticed Komaeda walking over to Souda. Instantly she dashed out of the apartment, but the lock got stuck.
Ibuki panicked and attempted to open the door, but it wouldn't budge. She kicked at it and tried everything she could, but nothing would work. Komaeda was already talking to him! Ibuki looked around frantically, and saw the window. She opened it and hopped out, dashing over to Komaeda.
"Hey, by the way, did you hear that Ibuki tried to kis-"
He started but Ibuki cut him off and covered his mouth. "There you are! Ibuki has been looking all over for you Komaeda! Now why don't we go and chat in private, hm?" Ibuki said in a shaky voice, still out of breath. Souda raised an eyebrow.
"But he was just about to tell me something about you! What's your secret, hm?" Souda asked, but Ibuki was already running off with Komaeda. "Bye Souda-kun! Ibuki will chat with you later for sure!" She said happily and arrived far away from him and the others.
"Are you crazy?!" Ibuki asked frantically and kicked him.
He laughed and cringed in pain. "Well, I already told you my terms yesterday....so you'll do it?" He asked and Ibuki shook her head no. "If I was doing this for the sake of despair I would tell you! But I'm doing it for the sake of hope, you know." He said and started to walk off towards another person.
"FINE! Ibuki will do it. But please don't ruin Hajime's life as well!" Ibuki pleaded and Komaeda turned around and smirked. "I won't!"
((Well I'm gonna end it here! I hope you liked the chapter!))
