["Should i..should i stay home after all?"

Koushi grimaced , embracing his sobbing twin as they stayed in the car , their mother and father appearing from the entrance of the elementary building with raged expresion.

"Yes ,you have to."]

===============================

Current..

"..I think we should tell mom , you have to stay homeschooled,"

You gazed to his glistening normal orbs grimacing , gripping on your contact lense case as you stood up from the side of your bed.

"And reset all of these improvements...? I don't think so."

"I won't stop until i can go out eyes bare without any threats and misunderstandings."

"Daichi-san! Suga-san!"

Suga and Daichi turned warily to the yellings erupting by the end of the hallway , gaining unwanted attentions.By the thrilling tone , Suga knew something was up , and he didn't like that , at all.

His stomach churned.

"Why are you yelling?" Daichi scrutinized his gaze , eyebrow raising at Tanaka , Noya , Kageyama and Hinata who ran up to him with panic painted across their features, fear glinting by their wide eyes.

Those eyes flickered to Koushi's real quick.

"[F/n]-senpai---she..!!"

Koushi felt dread crawling up from the tip of his toes , heart beat skipping with a cold sweat dropping down his chin.

"She's getting beaten up in the middle of the hallway!!"

_____________________________________

5 Minutes ago..

"Gah!!"

You gritted your teeth at the impact , a slap resonating in the abandoned dusty restroom while your head sidedly hit the ceramic tiled walls.

"Try saying that again , bitch," the actual bitch hissed , face leaning towards , smiling her arse off while the girls begind her chuckled wickedly.

What made her drop her smug smile was your turn of face , brows furrowed with a gritted teeth and sharp exhale.

"Two can play that game , monkey face,"

SLAP

You slapped her as hard as you can , resulting her stumbling from her squat , banging her head on the bathroom stall door while hissing , holding the visible bruise by her entire side of face.

There's a few seconds of shock between the others , as you quickly get up with a leg and kicked their ankles , making some of them slip and drop to the floor real hard , clutching to their head in agony.

You ignored the screamings , reaching out to the recorder under the dim lighted sinks.

"You..!!" The ones who still stands on their toes tried kicking on your hand , which you luckily pulled away before the harsh stomp unfolding before your eyes.

These fuckers-

You stepped up , ignoring the fact that you're currently stepping one of their arms , kicking with all your might to their stomaches , resulting to them skidding backwards , falling inside a stall , sprawled on the covered dusty toilet.

"Eww!!" Their screamed , and got their breath hitched as you closed the door franticly , seizing a mop and locked it around the handle.

"BITCH , OPEN!!!"

A harsh tackle taken you by surprise from behind.There's one you forgotten still appear to be there , grunting as she crashed your body to the locked door , your abdomen hitting the horizontal mop lock.

You screamed in pain , before twisting your body to the side , making the persistent girl gripping your back stumble and hit the same stall door.

She winced and let go of her grip , slumping down the door with pained face.

You huffed out in annoyance,  before noticing the girls by the floor who started standing up , recovering from the pain you gave away.

"Shit."

You crouched down and seized the recorder briefly , shoving it in your pocket while avoiding a tackle from the recovering girl which you slapped.

You finally reached the doorframe of the restroom , dashing out to the crowded hallway on the other side of the building.

I need to go , run , find principal , tell everything.

Or find Koush--

Yellings erupt from the end of the hallway where started sprinting , your eyes finding the girls running with their crumpled up shirts.

Yours are no different, your white hem's collar smeared with dirt, dark blue blazer crinkled by the sleeves , tie loosen up and your upper button missing.

Must be when one of them pulled you harshly to the dusty room.

Students looked at you and the girls in surprise and fear , while you practically  ran down the hallway--yelling at people to give ways.

Shit shit shit , where do i go again?!

You clenched your fists as you sprinted down the stairs , trying to reach the principal room.A strange feeling begins to creep through your body, the chaotic screams that trailed like a nightmare from earlier begin to drift away and subside. But there is no sense of relief washing your mind.

Your vigilance and prediction was really nothing to laugh on.

Because by the time you reached the end of the stairs , a wet sensation crashed to you from the side along with a sharp, hard kick, followed by an excited roar that seemed to have mixed with your exploding heartbeat--for you to even hear.

You let out a pained groan as your body thrown away to the side , fingers clutching to your hip in agonized whimpers.Luckily you manage to swivel on your heels to the following direction, decreasing the impact by your hip.

Wait , how come...?! Did they teleport or some shit..?!

But here's the bad news.

By the time you look up, there are more than seven figures crowding you.

Twelve...they called back up , didn't they..

And the students around them seemed to feared you more than the delinquents do.

"Hah! Look , it was true!" The one you had planted a big slap bruise on chuckled, yanking her bomber jacket off her shoulders.

You find something weird as your gaze seemed to be blurred than usual until you notice a pair of small thin stuff by the floor--you gasped.

Your red orbs are open to the world.

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

Back to current..

Hinata and Kageyama gulped in fear as they tried to catch up , eyes glued to Koushi's figure blasting along the hallway ahead of them , really putting those legs to work.

Mumbles , screams , and tension filled the entire coming up corridor , the dread tension reaching them although they're literally 10 meters away.

Fuck it , fuck it all! Koushi cussed to himself , clenching his fists and inhaled sharply , orbs smoldering through the crowds , pushing students aside.

"[F/n]..!! Get away from [F/---

His words flee back to the back of his throat as he proceeded the sight welcoming him as he halted with a screech , while students around him stared at him--waiting for a response.

[F/N]  is in the middle of the hallway , getting beaten up , they said....

"So...." koushi blinked several times , stepping back in reflex as your red orbs flickered up to meet his beneath your messy hair strands.

Your hands formed tough fists , red marks and bruises decorated your knuckles and wrists , while your legs shook slightly as they tried to stay standing on your toes.

And below you , twelve female students sprawled with bruises and scratches , not moving.

"[F/n]...?" Koushi blinked in disbelief , he had to repeat , he couldn't believe what he's witnessing.

You picked one of the sprawled girl's collar , lifting her with two arms to match your eye level , glaring at her closely to make sure she sees right to your red orbs.

"Look at my eyes.Wake , the fuck up." You shook her collar , making her tremble as she tried holding to your wrist, eyes watery while a big red slap mark still imprinted on her cheek.

Pretty striking for her to remember her stupidity whenever she looks at the mirror.

"LOOK.INTO.MY GODDAMN.EYES." you hissed , gritting your teeth in anger while clenching her collar real hard it let out an uncomforting sound , yanking her harder for every tear leaving their base by the brim of her eyes."SAY IT.WHAT COLOR.ARE.THEY?"

The girl pursed her lips and tried holding a sob , while staring at your red orbs in fear."r-r-red,"

"DO YOU DIE WHEN YOU SEE THEM? DO YOU FEEL LIKE DYING? DID YOU SEE CURSES? DO I IMMEDIATELY TURN TO MONSTER? DO YOU , LOSE YOUR BODY WHEN YOU SEE MY EYES? ANSWER!!!" you snapped , yanking her sharply as her vision starts to blur.

"N-No...I'm sorry--"

"Then why are you even planning on destroying my life? Do i do something wrong to you? Did i kill your family?! Did i , talk shit about you?!!" You laughed dryly in disbelief."You're a low , life , you hear me.LOW ! LIFE !"

"S..S-Sorr--"

"I don't want your fucking apology," you grunted , squinting your eyes as you released your hand and dropped her by the collar, letting her slump to the floor.

"I want a damn sincere proof of change."

You see that they're not moving anymore , maybe fainting , and so you turn to everyone else surrounding you by that time , and combed your covering hair strands back as you showed your entire set of red orbs at their glory to their open eyes.

"I'm Sugawara [F/n] ,  THE FRICKING FRATERNAL TWIN SISTER , of Sugawara Koushi! Yes , i have red orbs, and i'm single as shit! And that means , I-DONT-DATE-ANYONE-INCLUDING-MY-OWN-GODDAMN-TWIN-OR-EVEN-THAT-JERK-OIKAWA-TOORU-RIGHT-NOW!!" You yelled on top of your lungs , making the girls and boys step back warily , eyes wide and too shocked to even glance at each other."YEAH , CALL ME WHATEVER YOU WANT NOW , I DON'T CARE!"

You huffed hot air in annoyance , sharp orbs burning as you looked around , squinting at their shocked gaze.Then your glare met Koushi's again , your four juniors gasping behind Koushi's upright stiff figure together with Daichi who flinched at your wild glare.

I mean yeah , his lil Suga is wilding right now.

You could practically hear Hinata and Kageyama mutter Sharingan under their breath--Wait , do they watch Naruto? Damn--And Tanaka Noya exploding to loud screeches and screaming.

"YOOOOOOO HOLY SHIT , YOU GO , [F/N]-SENPAI !!!!!" Tanaka exclaimed from among the crowd, making all who were present turn their heads in astonishment, the tension in the air breaking instantly.

"KICK THEIR ASSES !!! SLAYYY!! QUEEEENNNN!!!!!" Nishinoya fanboyed childishly, somehow resulting to you looking down in embarassment--hiding under your stray hair strands ,  the tough demeanor crumbling down as you tried your best not to laugh.

And Daichi didn't even pipe in , he looked at the girls sprawled by the floor tiles before looking up at you like damn.

Those boys...pFT..

Koushi walked up and embraced you to a tight hug , surprising you , snapping you out of the hazy trance for a second there.

"...you scared me."

You rolled your eyes.

"Do they ran up to you with an excessive report?"

"...they said you're dying."

"We didn't say that..We just said 'beaten up' !!"

"...the same."

The students around you watched awkwardly in embarassment,  not because of the hug , but because of the spats you just blurted out a few seconds ago.

"T-They are twins..."

"H-Haha...i've knew it.."

"Who started telling everyone such a bullshit?"

"...we're so stupid."

"Awkward.."

"The second hand embarassment-- im never going to involve myself in girls gossips ever again."

"You sure? I mean yeah she's his twin..but i'm pretty sure she still flirts with Oikawa Tooru,"

"No , i'm the one flirting at her."

You snapped your head to the source of voice which stole the spotlight , jogged and stopped before everyone's sight.

The Oikawa Tooru himself.

"What the--wait , Shiho...?! Nishina..?!" You and Koushi confusedly gawk at their grand entrance , with Oikawa by the front setting the crowd moving apart.

Nishina immediately jogged to your side , slithering her arm with yours , eyes glaring at the crowd , before flickering down to te stack of unconscious girls.

"Holy shit , Koushi.You really don't hold back even to girls," she chuckled , turning to the boys to see Tanaka , Noya , Koushi , Hinata , and Kageyama pointing at you blankly.

"....."

Nishina blinked several times in deep confusion , before her jaw dropped as you averted your gaze away sheepishly.

"You , did that?" Her eyes twitched.

You whistled lowly , looking away awkwardly."Mmmm...maybe..I mean they attacked me first , i was just doing what you once taught me, " you suddenly jolted as Nishina put both of her hands on your shoulders.

"Bitch , i love you...no homo."

"...what."

You felt murmurs after the loud statement, finding the crowd dispersing in undeniable shame upon the lies , under the sharp gazes of none other than the Oikawa Tooru.

Now he's doing this? For what? He doesn't expect me to immediately forgive him , right?

"I found him this morning , cussing at his fangirls , fuming after someone blurted out that some fangirls in Aoba Johsai initiated a direct attack to you by their group of friends here," Shiho explained , gaze glued to the twelve girls, still not moving.

Someone should bring them to the nurse office.

But not me.

Oikawa turned after a while , facing you , with pain and regret piercing to your orbs.At this point,  all you want to do is slap him real hard across his face , but first you need to know what made him change his mind like a hitting truck.

There are 12 unconcious girls on the floor , a trash in your sight ,  your twin by your side , your two bestfriends backing you up , four volleyball team members crowding you , and several other hesitant to leave students , but only one person caught your attention in the spare second when you caught her silky hair between the crowds.

Before anyone could notice the clench by your jaw and the crack your knuckles let out vaguely as you clenched your fists , you set your lips apart and inhaled.

"KUROKASU AKINO , YOU FUCKING BITCH!!!"

That scream clearly wasn't something Daichi expected after a few years knowing you , but after a slight imagine upon if he's in your shoes--he concluded that he'll do the same.

You stomped to the crowd , which seemed to dash to the edges out of trauma over the beating you performed a while ago.

Akino sighed reluctantly before turning over , admiring her nails with a shrug."Why hello , [F/n] , what's with the---"

SLAP.

You swung your entire arm before slapping her with such annoyance , making Koushi flinch and hold you back , barely pulling you as you kicked , and scratched to her direction--which made her smirk , while holding the fresh slap mark on her cheek.

"It's Sugawara for you , psycho," you gritted your teeth.

The students emerged in whispers again,  and you couldn't careless.

Instead , this is a good opportunity.

"What is this , [F/n]-chan? Why are you slapping me so suddenly..? I didn't even do anything..!" She fake sobbed , holding her cheek dramatically as other students looked at her in pity and confusion.

"Oh sorry , maybe because you spread weird false rumours about me which isn't true at all," you sarcastically stated , tilting your head , venom dripping by the form of words from the tip of your tongue.

It's not your first time dealing with sarcasm , but it's the first time you're actually enjoying it.

"..how could you think that way..? After all i've done to help you as a manager...after all those trust i put on you.." she strated fake crying , drowning her face in her hands , but you just looked down at her with passive disinterest.

You felt a ding by your pocket , glancing slightly , you can vague conclude it's from Saltboy.

You crouched down , hands supporting your chin.

"..done acting? Try gtting to theatre,  they might for once appreciate your existence there," you stared at het numbly , no traces of kindness left by.You inched both of your hands in your pockets , your left hand pulling out revealing the recorder.

She seemed to be confused at first , but widened her eyes in horror as you started pressing on the play button.

" Most importantly , what if Kurokasu-san knew too?!"

"Why did you fullfill her request anyway?!"

"Will you shut up?!! Where do you think all those money i gave you came from?! I mean , she told us to take a misleading photo and spread a rumour , but i didn't know it'll end like this!!"

You can feel the annoyance and rage emitting from the slumping girl in front of you , and you squinted your eyes at her head.

"Wait who's that? She was told by Kurokasu?"

"Wait wait wait , holy shit , you're telling me she wasn't actually a nice chick??"

"And to think she paid for it..."'

" Oh really? Is that even real? Who could believe a liar like you?" Akino swirled , scanning over the hesitate crowds with hidden scheming glint--which Koushi didn't like one bit." I mean , i don't even know whose voice is that...i think they're just mentioning my name in burden blame,"

"Isn't that Kurokasu-san the golden girls from the next class?"

"The said good girl..?"

"None of this makes sense.."

"I really want to eat chips-"

"But Kurokasu-san is a nice girl , she.."

You rolled your eyes in frustration.She did really arm herself.

You remember the notification you received a while ago , thumb scrolling down to read what's written , eyes casted down before your hand lifted your phone upwards , high amongst the crowd.

You watched calmly as Kurokasu raised an eyebrow along the crowd which started to increase by the hallway , also gaining attention from the building across.

This is exactly what i need.Goodjob , Tsuri Kio.Goodjob...

You huffed a small laugh at Tsukishima's chat , who sent an audio he finally got from the troublesome girls.

She clicked the play button.

In a second , you could see a slight glint of fear in her malicious dark purple orbs.

[ " The payment?" ]

A chuckle followed.

[ " I'll transfer it.How much do you want..?" ]

You watched her intently as she looked down , fists clenching by the sides of her skirt.

[ " I don't care.You better come to me tommorow , and give me good news."]

[ "It better be about the school trampling down her itty bitty confidence to the ground..."]

A sigh were heard clearly in the phone call record.

[ " Hmm..? You peasants are too frightened at the thought of reveal ? If the school would know about it?"]

A laugh left her mouth wickedly.

The entire hallway got their breath hitched , the sound sending shivers to their spines and cold tinglings across their backs.

[ " Everything can be bought with money , unless there's a really obvios proof of it , they won't ask further than to clean my reputation.Oh , and about the others...?" ]

[ " Bah , Karasuno kiddies are stupid as jerks , they're too dumb to differentiate lies and truths," ]

Nishina and Hinata grabbed your sleeves in slight frantic , finding the expression the crowd made creepy.

The tension in the air thickens, almost choking you down to the hellish air of rage , eyes not staggering from Kurokasu's figure who still looked down.

Koushi and Daichi were wide eyed , eyes squinted in anger.Tanaka and Noya were suprisingly calm , a wary glare stayed toughly by their faces.Oikawa never really met Kurokasu , but he knew how crazy she looked right now..after all you've revealed to the public.

You lowered down your arm as the recording stopped,  a bit sore but worth it.You were about to say something , but suddenly a blurred purple figure charged at you , standing before you before you could even comprehend it.

You were offguard.

The others yelled as you skidded back as far as you can , but you stumbled instead.Kurokasu's hand reached to the nearest object she aimed for , the recording by your right hand.

With a quick hit , the recorder were slapped by force off your grip , crashing by the wall and broken to pieces.

Kurokasu's gaze casted back to your phone on the other hand.

If i can destroy all of it! I can just at least go away from this school and avoid any other problems.. DESTROY IT ! DESTROY [F/N]!! She roared in her mind , teeth gritted as she reached out to the phone.

Oikawa ran up behind her , but he's still two meters away.

"GIVE ME THAT!!" Kurokasu screamed , fingers almost reaching it until she felt a harsh hit by her cheek.

A second later she were thrown to the side , head almost colliding with the wall.

A bruise was visible on her cheek , which is enough to made her stunned for a while before regaining her conciousness.

You breathed heavily in shock as you gripped on your safe phone to your chest , gaze shifting to the figure by your side who literally kicked her straight on her face , to the wall.

You would always find yourself staring long in admiration and slight insecurity when you looked at her face.

Shimizu Kiyoko.

She squinted eyes in hidden rage and disbelief, glare softening as she turned to you , sitting on the floor near the unconcious bodies.

"You're...okay?"

You nodded with a relishing relief.

"Yeah , thank you Kiyoko."

"...Are they dead..?" She peered to the twelve bodies.

You scratched your nape."Unfortu--i mean nope."

"FUCK..! You...Yeah , you fucking slut.Report me , tell the fucking police! That's all you can do?! I can throw you in the jail instead! You're a monster , you changed people to pathetic ones!!!" Kurokasu grunted , wiping a blood stain by her lip as she tried sitting , leaning to the wall.

Damn Kiyoko , nice kick.

" You don't have the rest of the recording...and you can't expel me," she smiled wickedly and sneered loudly."You're pathetic!! Nobody wants to be with you , you're just a bundle of unwanted mistake!! Your life's gonna be hell!! You're a devil!!"

You watched her stage of deniance with a calm face , chin on your hand as you pocketed your phone , reaching out to your other pocket.

What you pulled out seem to surprise everyone.

"W-What the , another recorder...?!" Kurokasu  widened her eyes , snapping her head to the broken recorder not far from her spot.

You clicked on the play button , and he exact audio you played first time before flowed out smoothly.

You did pull out a recorder at first just to provoke Kurokasu.The real recorder that plays are in your other pocket.

But not just that.

["FUCK..! You...Yeah , you fucking slut.Report me , tell the fucking police! That's all you can do?! I can throw you in the jail instead! You're a monster , you changed people to pathetic ones!!!" ]

The newest audio played from Shimizu-san's phone.

Gotta love Kiyoko.And the kick.

"And rather than that , i think you're the pathetic one here," Tsukishima snickered behind you , arriving since who knows when."I mean , look at you...i should have known since the second you stepped in the gym,"

"And if you're referring to my sister as 'pathetic ones' , you're so wrong," Yokuro walked out of the crowd with his ice cold glare , approaching her before pulling her collar , and snatched by force a liontine from her neck.

"Face the truth , my sister's not a toy or your property , you're insane enough for talking to a photo of person who had passed away..." Yokuro hissed in front of her terrified face.

"Nerd."

That word , seemed to be a trigger word because by the next second , she's gone wild , clawing at Yokuro to give back her liontine.

"GIVE ME THAT !! GIMME BACK!! I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT HER!!"

You watched the scene unfolding with a grimace.

"Look around , Kurokasu-san," you sighed.

"All that you said..." you approached her carefully but toughly , slowly as your red orbs pierced to hers."The monster , devil , lone wolf....the pathetic here...."

"Is you , isn't it..?"

Her breath hitched as she locked gaze with yours , eyes wide in fright.

In pain.

"If you weren't such a psycho," you spared a glance , eyeing her in pity as you turned on your heels.

"We could have been good friends,"

With that you walked away , sighing as your mind planned a visit to the principal office as soon as possible , leaving her a wreck in the middle of the hallway."But sadly...a devil's created to suffer so...goodluck suffering,"

You glanced at Oikawa , whose breath hitched the moment he locked eyes with yours.Deep nauseating red ruby piercing to common hazel brown.

"You owe me a lot of explanation ," you squinted your eyes."Oikawa Tooru."

Teachers ran up to your group , and you directly pointed to the sets of bodies on the floor , including Kurokasu.

You sweatdropped.

Yeah, i'll definitely get punished for wrecking them but hey , they all started it first.

You closed your eyes and grimaced , feeling a sting by your neck and arse.They both got slammed real hard today.

When you opened your eyes , you found the volleyball team members who's arrived by the scene and Oikawa Tooru staring at your open eyes.

You backed up and pulled your hair strands down to cover your eyes."What the hell?!!"

"Oy , i thought you're already fine with it!" Koushi slapped the back of your head in amusement.

"That's not it! Their way of staring is creepy! Their stares are gouging my eyeballs out !!" You screeches , making them laugh.

"You make people faint in front of the whole school , but now you're panicking over several people staring right to your eyes? Meh ,"

"Time out , time out !!!"

They all laughed their asses off again , while you sighed , a smile creeping to your face.

You found their laughing face amusing ,  a chuckle following from your lips.

Yeah , I'm not alone anymore.

Your gaze stopped at Oikawa.

His laugh...is somehow familiar...but what...?

You brushed it off , finding the principal calling you first through the announcement with Koushi and several on scene witnesses.

In fact , you actually hadn't got time to talk to Oikawa Tooru.

What he had to say , what he found out about...you don't know.

He left right when he got a warning from the teachers , to go back to his school.

You were busy attending the callings and short meetings , flipping out your ace cards and proofs, audios , recordings , everything.The act she did was included as a crime , and shortly police really came.

Kurokasu's parents turned out to be abroad , leaving their daughter alone in Miyagi.

The twelve girls who were taken care of in the nurse office had finally regained their conciousness, apologizing and receiving the punishment with sour hearts.

Tsuri Kio are mentioned and called in too , but also with the given fact about their family condition.Still , they apologized profusely and had to do cleanings around after school, twitter account and pictures deletions , and detention.

Kurokasu even got a visit from a called therapist.

She needs one , or two.Can't risk getting the first therapist rip their hairs out.

Nishina and Shiho ran away before anyone could report them , and they might have stumbled on top of each other during the process...and you might have or might have not taken a picture of the small accident.

Blackmail purposes.

You sat silently by the bench at the yard.Whispers emit from the other side of the bench,  and you turned to see two girls flinching and averting their gazes away.

Yeah , life doesn't immediately turn to pink , glitters , and unicorns.

There will always be that one bitch.

But it's up to you whether you want it to  get to your heart or not.

FIN

....just kidding.I haven't bought that one latest manga of jujutsu kaisen , and you won't hear the end of it until i get my hands on them.

"[F/n] , what are you staring at?"

You looked up from the manga by your grip , dark red ruby orbs glistening under the sun rays , reflecting glazes of light from your iris.

"Meh Koushi , I'm reading , not staring.Oh is it time?" You looked to the watch on your wrist reluctantly, spending a second gawking at the time before standing up abruptly.

"...I hate you."

"Feeling's mutual."

And with that , both of you ran up to your shared class like insane people.

Just like how you guys left your apartment...

On your first day of school.

If you're asking , yeah , im crying.

Dunno why,  maybe because i write this at literal midnight , during mental instability :)
