Madoka's POV

"I made it worse?"

Kenji sighed and nodded.

"Fuck, I'm sorry." I apologized

"No it's uhh fine. I think she got your message but like she just doesn't want you involved in our uhh matters." said Kenji, "It's a good thing she let us continue being friends. Normally she won't-"

"Oi Kenji."

I looked behind Kenji and saw Aiko standing behind Kenji. Once Kenji heard that voice he jerked up and stood up straight.

"Y-yes Aiko chan?" he stuttered

'Chan?'

"What are you two doing?" she asked

"W-we bumped into each other." lied Kenji

Aiko rolled her eyes.

"Buy me a Red Bull, I want it by the end of this period." said Aiko

I desperately wanted to stand up for Kenji but if Kenji's right then she'll only make her life worse.

"Okay Aiko chan." replied Kenji

Aiko stopped walking and glared at him, making him back up.

"What are you supposed to call me?" she hissed

Kenji started to sweat and look around, we were in a crowded hallway and there were eyes on us already. But then the bell rang and I used that as an opportunity.

"Kenji let's go." I quickly said

I grabbed his arm and dragged him away.

"I don't know if I made it worse or better." I said

"I hope it's not worse." replied Kenji

"No one noticed the bruises on your neck?" I asked

"No, I guess your makeup worked." replied Kenji, "Thanks, it means a lot."

"Don't mention it, worry about yourself." I said

"I will." replied Kenji, "Tomorrow's your game."

"I know, you'll be there right?" I asked

"Most likely." he replied

"Good." I replied

"You should focus on your relationship with Homura, he's been looking mad lately." said Kenji

"Yea forget about him." I replied

"Oh okay, well I have to head over to work." said Kenji, "I'll see you in practice."

I nodded and left to head over to English 2. I took my seat in the back corner as usual but then 5 dudes who were on the baseball team came and gathered around the table I was sitting on.

"Yo did you hear? The prodigy MMA fighter Aiko is in our school." said a guy

"Yea I heard, she's so much hotter in person." said another guy

"Bro I might talk to her, she's the hottest girl I've ever seen." said a third guy

"Yea I know right holy shit." said a fourth guy

I rolled my eyes but just before class started Aiko walked in. Everyone in the room seemed to know her and they all gasped and awed at her. She made eye contact with me so she approached me and took a seat next to me.

"Well well, what a coincidence." she said

I sighed and rubbed my eyes in annoyance.

"Uhh excuse my name is-"

"Not interested." said Aiko, cutting off one of the baseball players

His expression saddened and his friends around him just laughed and patted him.

"Why are you sitting next to me?" I groaned

She chuckled, not in a good way but in a very menacing way.

"I don't think you realize who Kenji really is." said Aiko

"You're going to tell me lies right?" I questioned

Aiko smiled and raised her eyebrows.

"Kenji talked about me didn't he?" she asked, "Well of course he would, after all you were with him when I bumped into him at the train station."

"What do you want from him?" I asked, "What did he do to you?"

"You really want to know?" she asked

"You better not lie to me." I growled

She glared at me but I glared back.

"You need to learn how to respect people who are older." she said

She leaned back on her chair and sighed.

"Because he held out his hand to me, offering his help to me." said Aiko, "That day, made me feel less than a scumbag."

I scoffed in disbelief.

"He tried to help you." I said

"Now would you find it right, for a slave to offer help to its owner?" asked Aiko, "How would you feel if a homeless person offered his hand to you."

"I would-"

She leaned in close to me catching me off guard.

"I know your personality Madoka, you wouldn't want that either. You hate it when you're not the top especially when it's clear who's the one who should at the top." said Aiko

She wasn't wrong, I would also hate it if someone who tried to help me was someone lower than me but I wouldn't bully them.

"I wouldn't bully them." I replied

"Now, that's where we're different." said Aiko

She moved away and spun her pen on her fingers.

"I needed to teach him a lesson." said Aiko, "To never ever look down on me."

I sighed and rolled my eyes.

"Does Kenji know?" I asked

"Of course he does, ever since I explained it he tried to convince me but I just can't seem to let him go." said Aiko, "I just love someone weak, someone who I could prey on when I want to."

I looked at her and back at the board.

"Did you transfer here because of Kenji?" I asked

"Of course I did." replied Aiko

I wasn't really paying attention in class because of Aiko.

"Aiko, can you please leave Kenji alone?" I asked

"You're not the first person who asked me that." she replied, "Kenji owes me a lot of things."

"I'll take half the blame for him." I said

Aiko stopped writing and looked at me and then smiled.

"I like you Madoka." she said, "If you want to take half of his blame then it might ruin your reputation."

"As long as you stop bullying Kenji." I replied

Aiko smiled and silently laughed to herself.

"No, I don't want to though." she said, "Kenji deserves to be bullied."

Madoka's POV

"I really hoped this year would turn out good." said Kenji

I dribbled past Kenji and made a layup.

"There has to be a way for her to be lenient towards you." I said, "Or maybe a way to snitch on her."

"I don't want to snitch on her." said Kenji

"Huh?" I questioned in shock

Kenji sighed and shot a three.

"Kenji get it through your head, with her in your life she's going to fucking ruin it." I said

"But if I snitch, she's going to lose her chance to debut in the ONE." said Kenji, "Then I ruined her life even more and she'll take the stress on me."

"Kenij you're too nice sometimes." I said

"Is that bad?" asked Kenji

"Sometimes it can be really bad." I replied

"Oh, well I'm not the type of person who could live with the guilt of ruining someone's life." said Kenji

"What about your parents?" I asked

He stopped dribbling the ball and sighed.

"They have a lot more important things to do than this. My father's a businessman and my mom likes to go trips with him so they're hardly home. Probably once a month but I'm not usually there either." said Kenji

"But your parents at least have to do something." I said

"I don't want to have my parents involved." he said

"How are you going to do this then?" I asked

"I'll do it my way, if I just follow what she tells me to do then I'll be fine." he replied

I got pissed off but I held it in.

"Kenji, you're being such a wimp right now." I groaned

"I know, I'm a wimp that's why I can't do it." said Kenji

I sighed, letting out all of my anger.

"Fine, but if something happens you better tell me." I said

"I will, don't worry." replied Kenji

2 hours later

Kenji's POV

I walked through the hallways of the dorm but when I got to my room my eyes widened when I saw Aiko chan standing there.

"Aiko chan?" I questioned

"Did you buy the things I told you to buy?" she asked

"Huh? I didn't get-"

I checked my phone and my eyes widened when I received a message 10 minutes ago.

"I-I swear there-"

"Practice ended 15 minutes ago for you." said Aiko

"Aiko chan I'll go get it right now." I said

"I'll give you 10 minutes, if you're not back in 10 minutes you're getting a beating." said Aiko, "Let me in and the timer starts."

I unlocked the door for her and ran off towards the closest convenience store. I looked at the list and she wanted a red bull, some chips, and some pads. I entered the store and began to run down the aisles in a rush and gathered all the things she listed. I brought all of it to the cashier and he started scanning the items. I checked my phone and I had 4 minutes left. Once he gave me my change I grabbed the bag and ran back towards the campus.

I got to the boy's dormitory building and rushed over to my room. I grabbed my key and began fumbling through them and quickly inserted it but for some reason it wouldn't unlock. I kept turning the key until I heard the door unlock and I barged through it and closed the door. Aiko was waiting for me with her arms crossed. I put my hands on my knees and tried to catch my breath before entering the room.

"Here Aiko chan." I said

I handed her the bag and she took it and began looking through it.

"You forgot something." she said

My eyes widened and I checked my phone and I gasped as I saw another text that was sent to me literally 5 minutes ago.

"Where's my pack of gum?" she asked

"I-I didn't see this." I replied scared

She sighed and put her phone away and approached me.

"W-wait Aiko chan th-this isn't-"

I backed away from her but then I tripped over something and fell on the floor. Aiko sat on my stomach and grabbed my arms and pinned them above my head.

"You know the punishment." she said

"No no please Aiko chan this wasn't-"

"Wasn't fair? Do you think I ever cared about that?" she asked

"Aiko, no not my hands please I need them-"

She grabbed my left arm and placed it on my table and flipped me onto my stomach. She used her leg and put it on top of my right arm.

"No Aiko chan please-"

She gagged me with a piece of cloth and picked up a wooden stick.

"Open your hand or you'll break your entire hand." growled Aiko

I shook my head so Aiko sighed and lifted up the wooden stick ready to strike. I clenched my fist tight ready for impact, she hit my hand and I screamed in pain but they were all muffled.

"Open them, and you'll get hit once." she hissed

I opened my hand and she smacked my hand one more time before letting it go. I cried in pain and she let go of both of my arms. I clutched my hand and noticed that it was swollen and bruised making it hard to even move a finger.

"Get everything I need next time." she hissed

She got off and sat on my desk in front of me.

"Sit down in front of me." she ordered

I sat on my zaisu in front of her, in between her legs as I wiped my tears away.

"Do my homework." she said

I nodded so she handed me everything and it was a lot but the most important one was her essay. I opened my laptop which was in between her legs and I nervously began to do her homework. But my hand hurt so much that I couldn't move it at all.

"Aiko chan is it okay if I treat my hand first?" I asked

She glared at me and I leaned back in fear.

"Want me to hurt your other hand?" she asked

"No I'm sorry I'll just do it." I said
