Ep 9: Showdown

At her home, Akari was changing with her school uniform, then she took her cell phone and watched a photo. It was an old photo of her and Kazuki in their childhood.

Akari: I wonder if he will be a rebel in his heart.

At school, Kazuki was walking, wearing his dark glasses. Many students were afraid to see him. Then some members of school counseling arrived to him.

Student 1: Hey, Shirogane!

Kazuki: (Turning back with cold voice) Eh? What do you want?

Student 1: (Scared) Well...

Student 2: (Scared) There are rules... you shouldn't...

Kazuki: (Upset) Eh? You are so irritating!

The counseling members were scarier to hear his menacing voice. But then someone arrived too, it was Nagisa.

Student 1: Mizukami, we're trying to ask Shirogane about rules.

Student 2: But he denies to obey.

Nagisa: Oh, well. Let me ask him.

Kazuki: (Noticing her presence) Nagisa?

Nagisa: (Coming to him) Shirogane, can I ask you to hide your dark glasses, the rules say those items aren't allowed. So...

Kazuki: (Sighs) Okey, if you ask me. (Hiding his dark glasses) See you later. (He leaves)

The student counceling members were amazed to see Nagisa's action.

Student 1: No way! He didn't obey us, but with Mizukami?

Student 2: Maybe because he used to working with her in student counseling before.

Later, in classroom, Kazuki was with Hinata.

Hinata: Hey, Kazuki. Look! The results of the exams! We made it!

Kazuki: Yeah, but my grades weren't so great like yours.

Hinata: Don't say that! You did great too!

Kazuki: In our class yes, but if we compare from other classes. (Imagining a grades ad on a wall) Himekawa is still number one.

Hinata: Himekawa-senpai is in high class, after all she teached us in the session. We must thanks her.

Kazuki: I think so.

Some students were looking at them.

Student 1: That guy is so scary but he's like a regular student.

Student 2: That guy is friendly with Matsubara? What's going on?

Then, Kazuki was walking as thinking.

Kazuki: (Thinking) "I'm glad I was able to get better grades than last exams, Himekawa was useful for our studies" (His cellphone rang) Hello? Eh? It's you, okey I'll head to the club. He! That four eyes is so stubborn.

He didn't realize a student was watching at him. He was angry at him.

At Literature club, Kazuki was with Jun.

Jun: It looks like you improved your grades.

Kazuki: It's because of our study session.

Jun: But mostly of Himekawa-senpai's help.

Kazuki: Tch! Her? She always has the best grades in all school. I wonder who could be the second place?

Jun: Don't you remember the first names from the ad?

Kazuki: Now you are saying... (Remembering the ad with students list, first was Akari, and the second was Jun) Ah! You were the second place?!

Jun: My! So you forgot my name?

Kazuki: Expected from a nerd.

Jun: (Little upset) Should I take that as a compliment or an insult?

Kazuki: Returning to class is very irritating but we have to complete our academic life if we want to make independent.

Jun: Sure. By the way, when we were at the pool, you really said I'm pretty with my other appearance?

Kazuki: Well... yeah (Little nervous) Don't make me to say that!

Jun: (Removing her glasses, little blushed) Seriously?

Kazuki: (Little blushed) You know the answer!

Jun: (Smiling) Thanks.

Kazuki: We'll have the festival in few weeks, so all of you must focus in that.

Jun: It's true, I wonder what would be our class plans.

Later when school is over, Kazuki was walking down at stairs. Suddenly his cellphone rang.

Kazuki: (Checking his cellphone) An unknown number? Hello?

Student's voice: (Grave effect) You bastard! Can you see me?

Kazuki noticed a student presence behind a wall, he was waving his hand as calling at his cellphone.

Kazuki: What?

Student: Don't act as if you reformed your style life! You are that delinquent who expanded the fear of everyone!

Kazuki: I don't need the advice from a coward who hides his voice!

Student: Who's the coward? Then try to silent me! White Devil!

Kazuki: I won't waste my time with you!

Student: Accept this showdown! Let's see if you still can show your bravado!

Kazuki: And what am I going to gain if I accept?

Student: (Angry) What? This is not a competition!

Kazuki: Then I don't want to accept.

Student: Okey, so you are a bastard whose parents abandoned because of his appearance! You liked it?!

Kazuki got angry.

Student: Here I am! Catch me if you can!

The student run away. Kazuki followed to him. At a side of the building he found some doors.

Kazuki: Where are you?

He opened each door but no one was in those room. He was at the last door.

Kazuki: I'm sure he must be here.

He entered that room very fast. But suddenly he was frozen to see a scene. A girl was in underwear, she was changing her uniform. She was Akari.

Kazuki: (In funny shock) Ah? Himekawa?

Akari: Shirogane? (Then blushed) Ah! Why are you here?! This is the girls room!

Kazuki: Really? But the sign is in blank, wait a minute don't tell me... (Remembering the sign was covered by a blank band, it said girls changing room) I was fooled!

Akari: (Blushed) How much time are you planning to stay here? Get away, pervert!

Later, Kazuki and Akari were calmed.

Kazuki: Sorry, I was chasing someone but I lost his track.

Akari: Be glad it was me who you saw half-naked, other girls could demand you to my father.

Kazuki: I can be a delinquent but not a rapist.

Akari: Okey, tomorrow we have free day. What about if we go out somewhere?

Kazuki: (Uninterested) I refuse!

Akari: (Smiling evilly) If you refuse, I'll tell everyone about this incident.

Kazuki: (Little worried) To think I was the only devil.

Akari: (Happy) Okey, this is considered a date!

They didn't notice Jun was hearing their chat at side of a wall.

At next day, Kazuki was at bus station.

Kazuki: Why? A delinquent like me, to be in a date?

Akari's voice: Sorry for the wait!

Akari arrived, she was in a beautiful dress. Kazuki was little blushed to see her.

Akari: So, how do I look?

Kazuki: (Trying to ignoring her) Good, I think.

Akari: That's a boring answer for a girlfriend.

Kazuki: You're not my girlfriend!

Akari: (Taking his arm) Now, let's go! (He felt her breasts on his arm) Does it feel good?

Kazuki: (Little blushed) Don't ask me that!

They went to some stores.

Akari: I wonder what should I buy?

Then they meet 3 girls, they were Jun, Hinata and Nagisa.

Jun: Oh! What a surprise, I didn't expected we meet in the same place.

Kazuki: It's clear you wanted to meet here!

Nagisa: Shirogane? Himekawa-senpai? What are you two doing here?

Akari: (Embracing Kazuki's arm) We're in a date.

Nagisa and Hinata were in funny shock to hear that.

Hinata: Date?

Nagisa: Shirogane! Explain us!

Kazuki: Eh...

Akari: This is a reward after passing the exams. Right, Shirogane-kun?

Kazuki: Yeah.

Jun: If the students of our school see this, you will hunt until you die, Shirogane-san.

Kazuki: And you why are here?

Jun: I wanted to go shopping so I invited them to go together in our free day.

Kazuki: (Getting an idea) I know! Why don't you just go shopping, as I'm leaving...

Kazuki was attempting to leave but was stopped by being grabbed by Akari's hand.

Akari: Oh no! You won't get away of this!

Jun: Himekawa-senpai, will you join us to buy some new clothes?

Akari: Okey, but later you won't interrupt in our date, deal?

Then Kazuki and the girls were in a store buying some clothes.

Akari: Wow! These clothes are beautiful!

Hinata: Yeah, this store has the newest fashion of clothes.

Nagisa: I'll buy them.

Jun: What should we buy next?

Akari: Let's go there, Shirogane, follow us!

Kazuki noticed the place Akari was pointing. He was little blushed to realize that was a lingerie store.

The girls went to the store, Kazuki was waiting outside as looking the variety of bras and panties being exposed.

Akari: (Smiling) Don't imagine us with lingerie.

Kazuki: Shut up!

Kazuki was waiting as watching the bags of clothes the girls bought.

Kazuki: Damn! I wish a fight to relieve my stress!

Suddenly his cellphone rang. It was that student's voice.

Student's voice: So there you are, white scum!

Kazuki: What do you want? I'm busy!

Student's voice: Stop flirting with your bitches! I'll prepared a challenge for you.

Kazuki: What is it?

Student's voice: A fellow who is a leader of a gang is wanting to face you. Are you interested or you are a coward?

Kazuki: (Smiling evilly) Oh? You want another beating knowing I'm the White Devil?

Student's voice: It's up to you! We'll wait for you at the abandoned factory to the south of the mall.

Kazuki: I'll accept this showdown!

Then the girls came out from the store, Kazuki hide his cellphone quickly.

Kazuki: You finished already?

Akari: We want to talk so let's eat some dessert at that store. (Giving him a shopping bag) Carry this one too.

Then the girls were at a table eating some desserts. Kazuki came to them.

Kazuki: (Leaving the bags to them) There.

Jun: What's up?

Kazuki: I'm going to the white throne, just wait.

Kazuki leaves, the girls were little shock.

Jun: What a dirty language to mean to toilet.

Akari: That's always Shirogane-kun.

Hinata: Not at all, Kazuki wasn't so bad from the beginning.

Nagisa: Really? Then what about if we talk about Shirogane's past as he wasn't here?

Akari: Good! I want to know more about him!

Jun: Then, why don't you two start? Matsubara-san and Mizukami-san.

Hinata: Well, we were childhood friends. I know him 10 years ago, from elementary school.

In the past...

At elementary school, kid Hinata noticed kid Kazuki was alone. Other kids were ignoring him as if they were scared of him.

Kid 1: Look! That Shirogane, he's like a demon!

Kid 2: Yeah, others told me he was weird, also he has scary eyes.

Kid 3: We shouldn't be involved with him.

Hinata felt sad to see Kazuki being the center of contempt.

Hinata's voice: Once, I was being surrounded by some boys.

Boy 1: Hey, why you still feel bad for that demon?

Boy 2: We told you he's a dangerous boy!

Hinata: That doesn't mean you have to force us to hate anyone! I don't think he's dangerous!

Boy 1: You fool! We must teach you to believe us!

That boy grabbed Hinata's hand, she was scared and trying to break free.

Kazuki's voice: What are you doing?

Hinata and the boys realized Kazuki was in front of them.

Boy 2: That's the White devil! You hit some of my friends!

Kazuki: They started the fight, not me!

Boy 1: That's impossible!

Boy 3: An evil human like you is dangerous!

Kazuki: You can think about me whatever you like, but that girl doesn't want to follow your ideals.

Boy 1: Eh? Are you trying to act as a good guy? As a story's hero who saves a girl?

Kazuki: Ha! What kind of foolishness are you saying? I'm not a hero!

Boy 1: Grrr! Trying to act as a cool guy! But you won't scare us! Surround him!

The boys surrounded Kazuki, but he acted fast and beat every boys. Hinata was surprised to see him.

The boys were crying by their injuries.

Boy 1: (Sobbing) I knew! You are a devil!

Kazuki: (With his rage eyes) Get out! And don't obligate someone who doesn't want!

The boys run away very desperately. Kazuki looked at Hinata with normal eyes. But then he was leaving.

Hinata: Hey...

Kazuki: If you are okey, then go home.

Hinata: I knew it! You are not so evil as they are saying.

Kazuki: What makes you think that?

Hinata: Because you saved me.

Kazuki: I did it because I was frustrated when they were bullying me before.

Hinata: I would like to be your friend.

Kazuki: You'd better not. You could be in the same situation like me.

Hinata: We're neighbors. I know you Shirogane. Unless can I be your secret friend?

Kazuki: Well... maybe. Matsubara.

Hinata: (Smiling) Is it okey if I call you Kazuki?

Kazuki: Maybe.

Hinata: And you can call me Hinata.

Kazuki: Maybe.

Hinata: Geez! Don't just say maybe!

Kazuki: (Smiling a little) If you want.

Hinata's voice: And that's how Kazuki and I became childhood friend.

At present...

Jun: So you are his secondary childhood friend.

Hinata: (Surprised) Eh? What do you mean by secondary?

Akari: I met Shirogane-kun since we were 10 years, when he didn't still have friends.

Hinata: No way!

Jun: We can speak about that later, and how about you, Mizukami-san?

Nagisa: Well, it happened when we met at high school.

In the past...

Nagisa's voice: It was in during first year, at that time I was selected as part of Student Counseling as vice-president.

Nagisa was carrying some files then she noticed some school boys were surrounding a boy. It was Kazuki, who sat on a bench in school garden.

School boy 1: Hey, what's up with that rebel personality?

School boy 2: Did you dye your hair?

School boy 3: Do you think we can be domain by your appearance of bad boy?

Kazuki: (Ignoring them) Tch! Get out, assholes!

Nagisa: Who is that guy?

Suddenly Kazuki's eyes turned into rage. Nagisa was little surprised to see him. The school boys were in shock to see him.

School boy 1: What are those eyes?

School boy 2: Is he a demon?

School boy 3: Even demons would be afraid of him!

Kazuki: Get out of my way, retards!

Kazuki was leaving but was stopped by a school boy's hand on his shoulder.

School boy 1: Don't think you can scare us!

Kazuki: (Grabbing his hand) I told you, get out of my way!

Kazuki launched the school boy to the ground.

School boy 1: (Angry) Damn you!

School boy 2: Wait! Mizukami-san is watching us!

School boy 3: We'll got troubles if Student counseling see us!

School boy 1: (Angry) You had luck! Let's move.

The students retrieved angry after that. Kazuki noticed Nagisa but just leaves.

Nagisa: (Little worried) Shirogane.

After school, Nagisa was walking back to her home.

Nagisa: I didn't know Shirogane had that stare. The rumor about a juvenile delinquent was true.

Suddenly some punks appeared in her way.

Punk 1: Hey cuteness!

Punk 2: Let's have fun!

Nagisa: Hey! Don't bother me! I have work from school!

Punk 3: It doesn't matter, we're not in school!

Punk 4: Come with us, pretty school girl!

Nagisa: (Worried) Please, don't!

Punk 1: (Attempting to touch her) Come with us, now!

Kazuki's voice: Hey! Now you are into defenseless students?

Kazuki appeared as wearing his dark glasses.

Nagisa: Shirogane?

Punk 1: Eh? What do you want, four eyes?

Kazuki: I fought already with other like you, so you got another hobby to screw other people.

Punk 1: (Coming to him) I don't remember a white hair guy who tries to menace us. (Taking his dark glasses) Show us your face!

But then the punk was surprised to see his evil eyes, other punks were surprised too.

Punk 2: Is he...?

Punk 3: The White Devil?

Punk 4: Kazuki Shirogane!

Punk 1: You are Kazuki Shirogane, the guy who is the horror of many gangs!

Kazuki: That's right! (Giving him a kick) These are mine! (Picking up his dark glasses)

Nagisa: What a strength!

Kazuki: (To the punks with his evil eyes) You want the same?

The punks were funny scared and took the unconscious punk and run away.

Nagisa: (Worried) Shirogane? (She was little scared to see his eyes)

Kazuki: Mizukami (Wearing his dark glasses) Sorry to show you myself.

Nagisa: You aren't so evil as people are commenting.

Kazuki: This personality can't be seen by everybody. I'm already a devil who scares anyone.

Nagisa: Even that you came to save me.

Kazuki: Don't over-think about this.

Nagisa: But I guess there's people who don't hate you.

Kazuki: Yeah, like Ren and Hinata.

Nagisa: Wait! You are friend with Nagayama and Matsubara?

Kazuki: Let's say not so close friends.

Nagisa: Then can I be your friend, Shirogane?

Kazuki: Okey, Nagisa.

Nagisa: (Little blushed) Ah! You used my name so easily!

Kazuki: Sorry, should I call you Mizukami?

Nagisa: (Embarrassed) No, I think I can be used to in a while.

Kazuki: Then, see you in school tomorrow.

Nagisa: So, Shirogane aren't you in a group in school?

Kazuki: I think Ren is going to include me in soccer team.

Nagisa: How about if you work in Student counseling with me?

Kazuki: I don't know, those members wouldn't like someone like me in their group.

Nagisa: But you can be as extra member, in that people the students won't see you as a dangerous boy.

Kazuki: Maybe, I'll try.

Nagisa: (Smiling) Yeah.

Nagisa's voice: That's how Shirogane and I became classmates.

At present...

Jun: Not bad for the vice-president.

Nagisa: I'm glad he didn't want me to be in danger.

Akari: As expected from him, he could be evil but he has a good heart. Like from his childhood.

Jun: I think we should stop now. Our boy is arriving to another place, I bet he could be in a fight.

At the other hand, Kazuki arrived to the abandoned factory. He was at the door.

Kazuki: Here I am!

Guy: (Appearing) So you arrived, White devil!

Kazuki: You're the one who phoned me? Who the hell are you?

Guy: You can call me Satoshi and this place will be your last trip.

Satoshi was upper place on a bench. He was holding a device.

Kazuki: So you hide as a coward?

Satoshi: Say what you want but come if you are brave!

Kazuki was attempting to go but then other people arrived.

Jun: Don't move, Shirogane-san!

Jun and the other girls arrived at time.

Kazuki: How do you find me?

Jun: (Showing her cellphone with an gps application) I got your gps location, remember?

Kazuki: Oh, yeah.

Jun: This place was set with traps, that guy is holding a remote control.

Akari: That's cheating!

Kazuki: You coward!

Satoshi: Come on, you're not afraid with a simple trap! Come to catch me if you can. Or maybe you don't have gusts to face me!

Kazuki: Tsk! Don't underestimate me! Showed me what you got! (Running to the guy)

The girls were funny worried to see him.

Akari: (In her state) Wait! Are you sure what are you doing?

Hinata: (In her state) Too late!

Nagisa: (In her state and closing her eyes) I can't see that, tell me when it's over!

When Kazuki was in half way, he touched a thin wire and got electroshock until he fainted, Satoshi used the device.

Akari: (Worried) Shirogane-kun!

Satoshi: (Laughing) Ha! You see? Gang of this city! I'm the one who defeated the White Devil!

Kazuki: (Suddenly woke up while was emitting smoke by the electroshock) Not so fast, imbecile!

The girls were funny surprised to see him awaken.

Satoshi: (Surprised) Ah! What? Aren't you a human? The nickname of devil was true?

Kazuki: I felt pain in other fights and created endurance for my body!

Satoshi: It's not over!

Satoshi used the device. Little bombs which were in the ceiling exploded and some heavy woods fell to Kazuki. But he run fast and evaded them at time.

Kazuki jumped to the upper place.

Satoshi: (Scared) You're more fearsome!

He kicked him, letting him defeated. The girls came to Kazuki.

Hinata: That was awesome, Kazuki!

Nagisa: You are too strong to resist that attack!

Jun: Even a devil wouldn't resist an electroshock.

Kazuki grabbed Satoshi.

Satoshi: This can't be happening! I phoned you to fall in my traps, but...

Jun: It's useless, you're lying. You didn't phone Shirogane-san.

Satoshi: (Surprised) Eh? How?

Jun: I saw in your eyes. I know when a person is lying.

Satoshi: No way!

Kazuki: Don't show your face to me, and tell the one who phoned me, he will be my next target!

Then Kazuki punched his face, making him fainted.

Later Kazuki was walking alone to his home. As the girls were returning together.

Hinata: Why Kazuki didn't want we take him to a clinic for his injuries?

Nagisa: He said he had work to do in his aunt Kaori's restaurant.

Jun: Maybe that's his way to say "I'm fine, don't worry".

Meanwhile, Kazuki was walking, despite to have little injuries.

Kazuki: I wonder who phoned me? And why he didn't show himself? I'll find out for sure.

Meanwhile the girls continued walking.

Jun: Shirogane-san must be careful if someone else try to hurt him.

Akari: I hope he's okey. But now we must be ready, the school festival is going to be in few days.

In other place, Satoshi was injured and met with a school boy.

School boy: So you failed.

Satoshi: That guy, is a dangerous beast.

School boy: I told you do not underestimate Kazuki.

Satoshi: Next time I'll beat him!

School boy: Forget it! I have another plan to ruin his life!

Satoshi: Let me have another chance!

School boy: Quiet, or I'll tell Kurogane you failed!

Satoshi: (Scared) No! Kurogane? You don't have to go too far to call him!

School boy: We'll need his help to finish that bastard who ruined my life!
