Chapter 3: From Bad to Worse


In the girl's section of the school, Akane was running through the hallway before she stopped and checked the area.

Akane: It's okay, the coast is clear.

Y/N, who was in her Kampfer form, came out and nodded to Akane as she went up the stairs to the roof, with Akane following her.

Akane: Is this your first time being in the girls section?

Y/N: We'll of course it's my first time here. It's a first for me being able to turn into a girl as well, but it's also impossible for guys to break through the insane security and make it to this area.

Y/N and Akane went up to the rooftop as they sat next to each other.

Y/N: So you have no idea why Kampfer have to fight or it's girls that are allowed to battle?

Akane: I've asked Slaughtered Rabbit several times why we must fight but it says it doesn't know, I got a bit ticked off about it not knowing.

Y/N: Ticked off? 

Akane: Well, I get so violent when transform and because of that, I grabbed its ears then started moving my arm like Ferris wheel only very fast. Pretty sure it got very dizzy and passed out after I calmed down and transformed back.

Y/N sweat dropped at that statement and nervously smiled at her, but then started to squirm before she asked her a question.

Y/N: So, why is it that we randomly transform anyway?

Akane: Hmm... I transform when I flustered and wanna fight something like this morning.

Y/N: You were flustered earlier today? 

Akane: (blush) Not like that, I wasn't flustered that way! I also transform when there's another Kampfer around nearby. 

Y/N was paying attention to every detail and making sure to not forget it, but started to squirm more.

Y/N: Oh, so then, how do you return to normal?

Akane: At first, it was always just random, there were times I'd return to normal in five minutes or other times it took days. You'll be able to transform back on your own once you get the hang of it.

Akane looked towards Y/N who was squirm even more with a blush on her face, an action that Akane got confused.

Akane: Hey, what's the matter with you?

Y/N: (blush) This is embarrassing, but I really need to use the restroom.

Akane understood immediately and help her get to the girl's bathroom.

Akane: Um... you're going to be just fine, this is really nothing, ok?

They were now inside and in front of the stalls.

Akane: Kazuma, you got this.

Y/N: Will you watch my back then?

Akane: I'm not really into that sort of thing, but if that's what you want then I guess I can.

Y/N: Huh? All I want is for you to make sure no one comes in here, Akane-Chan.

Akane: Oh, right, jeez, please stop startling me.

Y/N: What?

Y/N entered the stall and was trying to steel herself for what she's about to do.

Y/N: Okay, do I need to lift the skirt all the way or do I need to take it off completely? Ok, pull yourself together, you tangled with worse as a Yakuza and will be facing hell from Nat's wrath, but if this how you're life is gonna be, then better get used to it.

Akane heard the sound of a flushing toilet could be heard. The door opens, and Y/N steps out of the bathroom, a slight blush on her face.

Y/N: (blush) That was embarrassing...

Akane: At least you did it without much problem, right?

Y/N: Yeah, but it might take a long while to get used to.

At was eventually afternoon as Y/N was back to his male form while walking on the streets with Akane. However, they saw some goons walking towards them. 

Goon 1: Hey kids, why don't give us your money?

Goon 2: No, how about you give us that hot chick instead? 

Akane was scared of them what they were gonna do to her, but Y/N stepped in front her and gave them a glare that frightened them a little. 

Y/N: You two got some balls to ask something like that in front of me, so I'll give you a warning: Walk away and never do this to anyone again or I'll break your arms, then both of your legs, then break your noses into mincemeat.

Akane was surprised that he wasn't afraid of them and blushed a little by his serious and somewhat heroic attitude.

Goon 3: You wanna mess with us?!

One of them tried to thrust a fist at Y/N, but he caught it his hand before giving him an uppercut at his chin, sending him flying off and landing on his back in pain.

Everyone was shocked at what just happened that they saw him flying behind the goon squad as they all looked at him before slowly looking towards Y/N, who was cracking his knuckles and the goons were more afraid because of it and his surprising strength.

Y/N: (blue firey aura surges around his body) Right then, who's next? 

They we're nervous as if he could do that to one of them, it would be worse for them, so they made the only logical choice for their survival, run away and promising to never do it again.

Y/N: That's what I thought. (looks Akane) Sorry you had to see that, I hope I didn't scare you.

Akane: No, in fact, I think you were amazing.

Y/N: Really? Oh, well thanks.

Akane didn't want to say out loud, but she found the sight to be very amazing like a hero from a fantasy story. 

But her thoughts were interrupted by a loud voice, one that made Y/N freeze in shock and horror as he and Akane turned to see Nat, Natsuru, and Kaede behind them and looking shocked at what they just witnessed, including Nat since she didn't know where Y/N was until seeing him in front of her.

Nat: Y/N...

Y/N: Nat...

Natsuru: (shocked) What was that? 

As Y/N was trying to come up with a good explanation, not noticing Akane's mad face towards him, he eventually realized he couldn't keep charades any longer, so he decided to tell them the truth, but...

Nat: Where the hell have you been!? I was worried sick about you! I was going to skip school to search you because you disappeared after the crazy red haired girl came out of nowhere and started firing a gun at us and you were nowhere to found! How could you do that to me, you idiot!

Nat ran towards Y/N and starting hitting his chest crying her eyes because of his actions this morning and Y/N, while not fazed by the hits, felt extremely guilty for doing that to her. 

Even Natsuru and Kaede and Akane, who despite having a mad face which turned sad, looked at Nat with pity, even the others started hounding him. 

He then pulls Nat into a hug while burying her head on his chest, making her eyes widen while blushing.

Y/N: I'm so sorry Nat. I didn't mean to make you worry, honest.

Nat was still upset over this morning, but nevertheless hugged him back tightly and cried some more, while everyone had a small smile at the heartwarming scene.

Nat: It's alright. I'm just glad you're okay. 

After a few minutes, they break up the hug and Natsuru asked about what they saw him do.

Natsuru: Dude, you just sent that guy flying! How did you do that?!

Y/N knew this day would come and his fears had been realized, so he took a deep breath and said one thing. 

 Y/N: I was a Yakuza. 

Everyone was shocked by that answer, they couldn't believe one of the friends was an actual Yakuza.

Akane: A Yakuza? As in...?

Y/N: A martial artist working in a criminal orginzation? Yes.

Natsuru, Kaede, Nat, and Akane were not believing the words out his, but slowly realize he was telling the truth.

Y/N: I was an orphan at the Sunflower Orphanage after my parents died, until I was adopted by Shintaro Kazuma. He was captain of the Dojima Family and the patriarch of its subsidiary, the Kazuma family. 

The four were shocked as they had heard of the Kazuma Family.

Akane: And what happened afterwards?

Y/N: I befriend Akira Nishikiyama or Nishiki for short and Yumi Sawamura. On Christmas Eve, when I was 12, I followed my father to a raid on the Korean Jingweon Mafia. While there, I interrupt Shintaro's negotiations with two Jingweon members. In the confusion caused by my sudden appearance, he was forced to protect me by killing their boss.

The others were surprised by that and kept listening intently as they want to know more. 

Y/N: But that action came with consequences. Nishiki and I became Yakuzas together and joined the Dojima family. However, one day when I was sent to beat up a man, taking the owed funds after he's laying beaten on the ground, I was called by the Three Lieutenants, only to be accused of murder which I didn't commit.

Everyone, needless to say, were so surprised that they stopped breathing for 10 seconds straight. They couldn't believe that their friend was a Yakuza member and was accused of murder. 

Nat: There's no way you did it, right?

Y/N: No, but not like they cared to hear my plea or anything I say. The man had died from a gunshot wound, and not as a result of the injuries inflicted upon him. I went to attempt to prove my innocence and find the true killer, rather than simply taking the blame and turning myself in, as was demanded by my superiors. During this time, my father is in prison for an unrelated incident.

They couldn't believe their ears since this information was shocking news to them, and he never told them anything about it.

Akane: And after that?

Y/N: Taking advantage of Shintaro's incarceration, Sohei Dojima, the Dojima Family Patriarch, seeks to dethrone my father using his ties to me, blaming me on his incompetence. However, I refuses to sit by and allow my father to take the fall for me, and instead travels to the Dojima Family office to request to be expelled from the family. I plan to continue my investigation into the murder as a civilian without having to worry about the politics of the yakuza. After winning a fight against Daisaku Kuze, one of the three lieutenants of the Dojima family, who wants me executed for what he views as rebellion, Sohei agrees to expel me. And that has got me to what I am now, a former Yakuza disguised himself as a high-school student to avoid anything conflict while protecting the innocent. 

They now knew his past and what he's been through. Even though they were a little shocked and mad that he didn't tell his old friends, they still felt bad for how his turned out till now. So the four gave him a big group hug, which took him by surprise.

Y/N: Huh?

Sakura: We're sorry, Y/N. We didn't know you've been through so much.

Natsuru: Yeah man, that must've felt bad for you.

Y/N thought they'd act differently but they accepted it without question, which made him happy and hugged them back before letting go. 

Y/N: Thanks and sorry about this morning, see we um... 

Sakura: There's no need to apologize to me or Natsuru, but Nat...

Nat: Yeah, that's right! You're gonna make it up to me, moron, so don't try getting out of it!

Y/N: (scared) G-got it, Natsu.

Sakura: Now that that's taken care of and learning everything else about you, on another topic. I'm just glad nothing bad happened to you, you made me a little worried too.

Y/N: Uh, yeah, hehe.

Y/N didn't notice Akane and Natsu's depressed faces.

Sakura: So, um, I'd like to speak to you about something important. (looks to the others)

Akane: Oh, okay, then I guess I'll be off. (exits) 

Y/N: Oh, okay, later.

Nat: Hold it, if it's important, why can't we be here?

Sakura: It's kind of a private matter, so...

Nat: We'll, I'm not going anywhere until I've heard it.

Y/N facepalmed at Nat's stubbornness, so he made hand signals to her brother telling him to get her out of here, to which he nodded and grabbed her arm, dragging her away.

Nat: Hey, what are you doing, let me go!

Y/N: So, Kaede, is there something you would like to talk to me about?

Sakura: I'm sorry, but you see I... it's just that... well I need to... look, Y/N, there's someone I'm interested in.

Y/N: Really?

Sakura: Yeah, I just can't get that person out of my mind. I'd love for us to get together. And it's just the thing, you know? See, I thought you might know who it is.

Y/N: Natsuru?

Sakura then heard and processed what he said and after 10 seconds, she was laughing hysterically.

Y/N: It was worth a shot, okay? 

Sakura: I know, but still... (laughing) me with Natsuru? Too funny. ( stops laughing, then sighs) Still I needed that, but back to what I was saying. The wonderful person who I'm talking about wore our school uniform and saved me. Well, do you know who it is? 

Y/N was confused and trying to figure out what she meant, until what happened this morning clicked and instantly connected the dots in horror.

Y/N: Wait, you're not saying...

Sakura: It's that girl we saw in the streets this morning. Will you please introduce me if you know who she is?

Y/N.exe has crashed. That was the only way to describe his current state, now that he has learned something unbelievable. 

Sakura, one of the three popular female idols has turned out she swings the other way and has fallen in love with his Kampfer form. She was still staring at him for an answer, to which he finally spoke.

Y/N: Uh... apologies, but I'm afraid I don't know who you're referring to since I wasn't with you guys.

Sakura: (realized) Oh, yeah. That's right, you weren't. (looks down, frowns) I guess I wasn't thinking straight.

Y/N: Hey, come on, where's that smile? (starts tickling her sides)

Sakura: (laughs) Stop it! That tickles!

Y/N: Not until I see an improvement in the attitude of yours. (continues tickling her sides)

Sakura: (laughs) Okay, okay, I'll improve my attitude! 

Y/N: There, much better. But if it'll make feel any better, I could search for her.

Sakura: Really?!

Y/N: I swear, I'll let you if I find anything.

Sakura: (hugs Y/N) Thank you so much, Y/N! 

Y/N: No problem, happy to help. (thoughts) This just got bad to worse!

Eventually, Y/N made it to his apparent where he told his talking tiger about what happened today. Especially with Sakura in love with his Kampfer form which made the tiger laugh.

Tiger: Talk about a disaster. So, your friend fell in love with your Kampfer form, not knowing you're both the same being! (laughing)

Y/N: Shut up! This is your fault I've got myself into this mess in the first place!

Tiger: Excuse me, bucko, but I didn't do anything. I'm a messenger and whoever gives me to someone, that turns them into kampfer. So if you want to blame anyone, blame the moderators. But you should be happy since you're the same person on the inside.

Y/N: Yeah, and when she finds that out, who knows how'll she'll take it.

Y/N slams his fist on the table which scared the tiger and starts walking.

Y/N: I have to do something about this, I don't want to spend the rest of my life as some gender-bending freak!

The next morning

At the library, Y/N went to Akane and told her about the situation he has now since yesterday.

Y/N: So, what do you think I should do about this?

Akane: (turns her back on him) I wouldn't have the faintest. Why don't you just turn the silly girl down, huh?

Y/N: What's with your attitude? And I can't do that to her, she's my friend.

Akane: Why do you have to go and say that? Anyway, it's non of my concern.

Y/N: But Mishima... Oh forget it, since it's come this, I have no other option.

Akane: Huh?

Y/N: I'll just tell her the truth sincerely and with feeling like I mean it.

Akane: (surprised) Are you sure about that?

Y/N: Well, you were the only person I could talk to about this. But given how you acted, I don't know what else to do.

Akane: Well, you can call me Akane. Everyone calls me that, so I think it's ok if you do too and you know, you'd be the first guy to call me that.

Y/N: Well, if that's what you want, Akane. 

Akane blushed bright red and started smiling.

Y/N: But I'm still telling her the truth. Also, you can call me Y/N as well.

Akane: Okay, thanks Y/N. But, are you really sure about it? It might damage your relationship with her.

Y/N: It's be better than not telling her, making me be indecisive and causes misunderstandings. 

Akane: Well, when you put it that way, I guess it would be better than that.

Y/N: Yeah, thank you Akane.

However, before the moment could continue, a pistol came and pressed against his cheek, making him look to see Akane transformed into her foul-mouth pyshco Kampfer form.

Akane: (smirk) Hey, what's up there, black? How dare you feel the need to call me by my first name. 

Y/N: You asked if I could call you that and I respected your request! And why did you transform into a Kampfer anyway?! Wait, is there another Kampfer around?

Akane: Heh. You're pretty smart, think I might like having you for an ally. And you're right, I think there is one nearby.

Suddenly, Y/N saw a chain-linked blade heading straight towards them.

Y/N: Watch out!

Y/N pushed Akane out of the way as he jumped back to avoid the blade that sliced the bookshelf in half. During which he transformed into a Kampfer and tried to find where it came from.

Akane: It's a Schwert user, run for it!

Y/N: But what about you?!

Akane: I can provide cover and you don't know what you can do yet, so go!

Against Y/N's better judgment, she did as she was asked and ran through the library as the chain-blades went for her. Akane jumped up and over a railing on the second floor to get a bird's eye view to find their target.

Akane: Come on, where is she?

Then another chain-blade hit the floor and near her, then bounced off the rail towards to which she barely dodged and fell from the second floor.

Y/N: Akane!!

Y/N saw her falling and raced to catch her, which she managed to and break her fall.

Y/N: Akane, are you alright?

Akane: (smirk) This sucks. Come on Y/N, you know this. If you're a fighter then use your skills to fight and find your power.

Y/N: Thanks, Akane.

Akane then pressed her pistol against Y/N's face.

Y/N: (-_-) Seriously?

Akane: Wanna die?

Y/N: If you're going to keep this up, I'll call you Mishima forever.

Akane: Jeez, you're no fun.

Akane got off of Y/N's arms and placed her feet on the floor.

Y/N: So, what now?

Akane: I'd love to fight back, but I have no idea where all these attacks are even coming from. Y/N, you go up to the breezeway and draw her attention to you. I'll stay hidden here and deal with the enemy when she goes after you.

Y/N: You think she'll go for it?

Akane: Not sure, but it's better than nothing, right? Leave the rest to me. I'll be counting on you, Y/N.

Y/N sighed and gave her slight pat on her shoulder.

Y/N: Okay, I'll go with your plan. Wish me luck!

Y/N went out to the opening and Akane went to another direction.  

After they split, chain-blades start heading for Y/N, as she runs and dodges them, she jumps high into the air turning to see the blades heading for her. 

As she deflects them, they turn into one chain-blade as she focuses and thrusts a punch towards it, with a burst of air heading for the blade, knocking it back, much to Y/N's surprise. 

Y/N: That was different and awesome, I gotta remember how I did that.

Suddenly, Y/N turned behind and saw a fireball heading to her direction which made her eyes widen before she dodged it.

Y/N: A fireball? Now there's another Zauber wielder?

After she dodged it, she looked where the fireball came from, only to see something unbelievable. 

Y/N: You gotta be kidding me.

It was none other than Natsu, Y/N's childhood friend. Only difference is that she has an orange streak on her hair.

Y/N: Natsu?

After she said her name, she was shocked on how she knew it.

Natsu: How do you know my name!?

Y/N realized she probably screwed up saying it out loud, but knew that she could probably get her to stop once she got close and pin her down, so she sprinted for her as she threw the fireballs at her. 

Y/N dodged them as she knew she couldn't get pass them without injuries, so she tried focusing on her power and slightly begged for it to work and she put her hand out and, to both their surprises, water manifested and shot forward towards Nat, taking her by surprise and blasting her back to the wall.

Y/N looked back to see how Akane's doing and saw her dodge one of the blades that hit the bookshelf which cause it to collapse and out of the dust cloud caused by the destruction, a figure was seen, only to be shocked when the figure turned out to be...

Y/N: Sakura?!

Akane gasp while Sakura looked at her in fear. Feeling angry, Akane points her pistol at her.

Akane: Was this all your doing?!

Y/N: Akane, STOP!!!

Akane shot her gun at Sakura when suddenly a barrier of light appeared out of nowhere and disintegrated the bullet, causing Sakura to faint and Akane to be shocked as she looked towards Y/N, only to see her eyes and hand glowing.

Chapter 3 ended. 

That do you think of this chapter? It was long, but it was worth the effort of working and publishing it with the help of my partner. 

If you guys have some ideas for the next chapter, let me know at the comments below. Peace out and enjoy!
