Lunch today was fish. Kiku was happy he really liked fish. He grab his tray and took a seat by his two friends.
"I got you today's special, same as mine. Is that ok?" Ohta asked Tanaka.
"Yeah. Thanks for choosing my lunch." He repiled.
Kiku started to eat by cutting up his fish taking out all the meat.
Tanaka slowly started to eat air. "Tanaka ?" Ohta asked "is there something in the meal you don't like?"
"No , it's fine . I can basically eat anything , there aren't many food I don't like, surprisingly. "
"That's good, lots of young people are very picky now a days." Kiku said looking at the group of kids beside him.
Tanaka put his chopsticks down "Ohta, it's a pain to debone the fish ,so you can have it."
"Most people will call that being picky. "
"I see. Then I guess there's a lot of food I don't like because they're bothersome."
"What food are bothersome?"
"Small things,such as beans and corn that are hard to pick up with chopsticks. Also,fruits you have to peel yourself. If it have seeds in it, that's even worse."
Kiku looked over at his plate. "So that mean you don't like anything on this plate."
"I didn't know,sorry for picking that meal, Tanaka." Ohta said. "Why don't you let me debone the fish for you at least?"
"You don't have to do that, Ohta." Tanaka said as he started to debone the fish himself.
Kiku watch in amazement as the lazy boy started to debone the fish . He only took out the easy part ,when he declare he was done. "There I'm done, but is this really all the meat that fish have on them?"
Ohta looked over and blinked before taking the plate and doing it himself.
Kiku helped by peeling the grapes and handing Tanaka a fork.
In the end Tanaka manage to finish everything on his plate.
"That's was good." He said
The three then went to throw out their tray.
"Ah it's been a while since I've felt this full."
"That's good, I'm glad to hear that." Ohta said.
Half way across Tanaka collapse to the floor. "Tanaka-kun! " Kiku shouted as he put his tray down walking up to where Ohta was.
"I'm so full, I'm deathly tired.I always yet tired easily,but this is crazy. I never experienced this level of sleepiness." Tanaka body went limp and went to sleep.
Kiku made a mental note in his head to never let Tanaka eat as much as a normal person.
Ohta took Tanaka to the roof so he can have some fresh air. "Come On rest for a bit." He said sitting Tanaka out.
"I'm ok, I think the food is staring to digest." Tanaka said hiding his stomach.
"That's good." Kiku said.
The 3 stay quiet for a bit letting the wind pass by.
"By the way what happened to that thing? " Ohta asked
"What thing?" Tanaka asked back.
"The letter of challenges in your shoe locker.
Kiku remember that. Earlier Tanaka they found a letter . It been centuries since Kiku last saw a one and that was during the Civil war.
"What are you talking about? "
"You found it this morning. The thing that said letter of challenge in such a forceful handwritting."
Tanaka turned away. "I didn't see anything. "
Kiku blinked is Tanaka trying to forget about it. "You know you eventually have to fight . It's to prove to your opponent and the world that you're a man, it's for honor ."
Tanaka sigh. "Then I must not be a man."
The door opened up . "There you are damn it !" A girl with electric blonde hair and tall shirt. "So you're Tanaka from 1-F." She spoke with such forceful and old tone. "I'm Echizen from 1-E,fight me Tanaka !"
Kiku look over at the girl. Do she even know who Tanaka even is, everyone know that he won't even get up to fight or even think about it. Tanaka lie down.
"Don't fall alseep !" She shouted. "Tanaka." Ohta whisper-shouted. "Tanaka." He said again. After that Kiku tried but he still won't wake up.
"Want won't he come and fight." Echizen demanded.
"Oh , it was you who wrote that letter of challenge?" Ohta asked.
Echizen blinked "Ohta! Why are you with Tanaka? "
"Because we're classmate."
"What?"
Tanaka yawn getting up with Kiku asked "Ohta-kun? Do you know Echizen-san?" He asked.
"Yeah, kind of,we used to hang out in the same gang." Echizen said
A small image of Ohta and Echizen with a strange guy looking menacing came to mind.
"This is Ecchan, my next door neighbor. We've known each other since kindergarten. " Ohta said.
Echizen blushed. "I told you to stop calling me that !"
"By the way, my mother said, "Ecchan used to love the sweet donut I make,but I'm sad she doesn't come visit anymore."
"Don't start talking about heartwarming mom stories!"
Well based on what Ohta said, she doesn't seem to be such a bad person.
"I almost forgot about why I came here, I came here for you,Tanaka !" She shouted. "Fight me!"
Tanaka looked at her blankly. "Why do you want to fight me?"
"For certain reasons, I need to find out what kind of person you are."
"Hmm, I see." He stood up "well, it won't be much of a fight, so I advise against it."
"What."
"I'm confident that I'll lose horribly in any type of fight, I lack motivation. "
"What the heck? You should try harder..."
"I can't , I just ate , and I'm tired."
"Uh... how about cards or a board game."
"Ahh, I guess I can manage that."
Kiku gulped, the power of Tanaka can convince people to do his will. How fascinating.
The two settle for a broad game . In the end Echizen won but when Kiku look closer the broad had the character for white.
It seem that Tanaka won in some sort of strange way.
"Invasion successful." Tanaka said .
The next round was cards. Everyone was impressed with Tanaka ability to shuffle cards but when he tried a trick the cards flew everywhere.
Kiku sigh as he jump off from where he's sitting and help picked them all up.
He place the last card on the table.
The 4 counted the cards again and again but no matter how much they counted it's always one missing.
"Jeez." Echizen said "When we play a board game you deviate from the goal.When we play cards, you lose them before we start.My best friend said she respect you, So I thought you had a backbone. But you're seriously damn weak !"
Echizen continue to shout to Tanaka as Tanaka repiled in his normal lazy tone.
"Ecchan! " Miyano voice shouted running over to them.
Echizen personality turned a 360 smiling and hugging Miyano.
"Thoes two are actually friends?" Tanaka asked.
Kiku looked over. "It seems like it." While Ohta added "It's true that Miyano respects you."
"Sheesh Ecchan." Miyano said once she got put down.
"You were looking for Echizen, Miyano?" Ohta asked.
"Yes ! I was following Ecchan's scent and it bought me go the rooftop. " She said proudly.
"Echizen-san, you don't need to worry about Miyano-san. She has no talent of being lazy. Plus, I excommunicated her." Tanaka said.
"That's not true!" Miyano said. "If I try I can be lazy too."
In the back of his mind Kiku thought about yesterday and how hard it was so understand Miyano. No he think she's much better off the way she is .
"That's true, unlike Tanaka, Miyano is a hard worker. Come to think of it, there's no way Tanaka influence her." Echizen walked over and touch Miyano hair. "Sorry for worring about something so silly.Thats a relief but...." She grab Tanaka and pulled on his neck. "I'm kinda pissed at how you made Miyano sound like a fool.sayinf she has no talent and was excommunicated and whatnot. "
"I didn't mean." Tanaka tried to say.
Kiku sigh easily pulling the two apart. "Come On guys, it's not something to kill over."
Both Tanaka and Echizen blinked.
"Kiku." Tanaka said "You're pretty strong, maybe you can carry me one day."
Kiku blushed . "I'm not...I'm not that strong. " He said trying to cover his face. "Excuse me." He said running out from the roof.
