Honey Trap~

On Tuesday when I reached the school gates I realized something since the band practice was today I wouldn't be able to confront Kisaki in our Rock Club after classes had ended as I originally planned.

"I can always catch him during lunch break. So let's just go straight to the point." Yes, that was the best course of action, rather than letting those feelings develop any further, my options were to either confess and get just simply rejected so those lingering emotions could just die out, or if he agrees date him? Once I dropped my guitar and speaker in the club, I marched back to the classroom ready to see if Kisaki was back.

He was indeed, I slammed the desk he was sitting at, catching his attention.

"What is it now?" He asked looking quite tired of my shenanigans.

"How dare you not show up to school?" He seemed perplexed at the question, probably conflicted as to why I sounded so mad.

"What?" Was the only word he could utter.

"I planned to tell you something yesterday, but you were nowhere to be seen." Then the prankster side took over.

"Were you cheating on me with Hanma again? What does he have that I don't?" He just facepalmed, did I perhaps take it too long?

"Anyway, you, me in the club room together, after you finish eating at lunch break." He reluctantly agreed, most likely realizing I wouldn't let him off the hook so easily.

"Great." Once lunch rolled by after consuming my food, I excused myself from my three amigos and marched towards the club room to have a serious talk with Kisaki.

Sure my nerves may have practically nearly given up on me, and I felt like running away, but hey I already confessed multiple times before, so how was this any different?

We met at the entrance, I opened the door and let him in, locking the door behind us with the key, so one would dare to disturb us.

"So what did you even want to say, for you to look so serious?" I could tell he couldn't figure out the reason for my actions, maybe I was a little unpredictable at times, even to the person that thought of themself to be intellectual.

I cleared my throat while finally admitting.

"I like you!" Great, why was I yelling again?

"Was this really so important? You act like we haven't gone thru this already." He seemed a little bit agitated probably for wasting his precious time. I decided to admit to my wrongdoings.

"You were right before I kept on confessing because I liked to annoy your ass." He looked so smug all of sudden.

"I freaking called it." But then I added.

"But this time I'm serious, with my confession." He decided to roll his eyes at me, once more. I could tell he wasn't taking my word for it.

"Oh, come on Tetta! I mustered up the courage to tell you this, the least thing you could do is give it some proper thought." Then maybe I spoke something unnecessary.

"Maybe you should get rid of your unhealthy obsession with Hinata once and for all!" As soon as those words left my mouth I felt his hand grabbing my chin harshly.

"Be careful what you say Michi." He glared at me, causing me to feel shivers go down my spine, but the temporary daze was suddenly replaced with fury. Did I really have feelings for this guy? Because at this certain moment I just felt like breaking his arm. Could the system perhaps have lied to me? Or did I need to kiss him as they did in K-dramas to find out if they liked the person?

No, if I tried he would probably be even more enraged, I just imagined myself chasing that thought away with a broom like it was a spec of dust. Begone thot.

"How about we make a deal?" Wait something weird was transpiring, I could tell. Unexpectedly the system pixie materialized before my eyes before informing me.

"Ambush detected: Skill Slippery Snake Tongue attack was aimed towards you, calculating damages." What was this and why did it work like in a game?

"Preparing countermeasures...because of user's hidden skill and high morals, ambush failed." Wait, wasn't that his manipulation skill? Did he just try to?

"What deal?" My fingernails were digging into my skin, as I couldn't contain my anger.

"I will let you be my girlfriend, but in exchange, you will do some errands for me, how does that sound?" Did he just dare to compare my feelings to a mere transaction? He really thought I would be so desperate for his attention? I suddenly had a bad taste in my mouth.

'Would you rather slap or kick Tetta Kisaki?' I didn't even hesitate already seeing red, I kicked his shin feeling no remorse.

"Do you even hear yourself? Do I look like some kind of garbage that you can pick at the side of the road and then throw away as you see fit? If you don't return my feelings just say so. I doubted you would agree so I was thinking of taking it like a champ!" He just groaned in pain as I continued.

"I just mentioned Hinata because I don't want you to obsess with your one-sided love and get hurt more in the future, because we both know she does perfectly fine with Takemichi." I crossed my arms and stormed out, but came a few moments later to lock the door, but then Kisaki was gone. It was hard to sit beside him, so I just kept glancing out the window and doing some breathing techniques to calm down.

But my anger didn't disperse even when I was trying to play the guitar once the girls showed up for our practice.

"What happened Michi, you seem quite agitated?" I kept on messing the notes over and over again, probably that's why she noticed, even if I put a lot of effort to keep it together.

"I just had a fight with the guy that is part of our club, it still bothers me, like a lot." She put me into a hug while saying.

"I'm sure you can patch things up once you talk it out." I wasn't too sure about that, but maybe hitting him was going too far, even if it was a mission.

"Once he apologizes I will think about it." I decided to shift to a more cheerful topic.

"How about next time we have band practice we go visit Izana, to learn some more?" Emma enthusiastically agreed, hoping for her brother to open up more, since we would be in a learning environment and I would present she had high hopes.

"Once he warms up to you we can introduce him to Mikey," I mentioned as she seemed to have agreed, she likely realized he had some possessive characteristics.

When the practice was over, I took my guitar and speaker and started to head home, even if I was still fuming with rage.

But nearly 5 minutes into the walk I was stopped by 5 buffy guys that surrounded me, I looked at them wondering what their problem was.

"Are you that girl that usually hangs out with Mikey?" I just titled my head, maybe my confusion took them aback, but they whipped up a photo which was taken yesterday at the arcade, when I was hanging with the Toman members, in the picture frame you could see both me and Mikey. Was someone spying on us? I scanned the guys' gang uniforms but their style didn't ring any bells. Maybe they were from a gang that wasn't mentioned in the manga so I was basically lost.

"Listen I have things to do, can you let me pass?" It was worth a shot, right?

"Not happening sweetheart." Wow, that totally sounded creepy, I looked around wondering if someone would help me out in this tricky situation, but everyone was avoiding my eye contact. I sighed, realizing the best-case scenario would be cooperating. From the looks of it all, they wanted to do is summon Mikey.

They asked me to follow them, which I did as I was calculating a plan in my head. I glanced at their stats. I was wondering if using all 4 Pixie Dust and just defeating one of the guys could be possible. But I quickly realized all their strength stats were higher than mine and agility and endurance were matched with mine, which meant it was impossible to just run away. Besides, I didn't want to damage my guitar.

They guided me to some abounded warehouse and then snapped a photo and from what I could tell they send it over to Mikey. They suddenly got a phone call telling them.

"I will smash your face in if anything happens to her!" Wow, suddenly the blonde boy sounded like a romance protagonist, he promised he was on his way, but unexpectedly the system decided to mess with me.

'Would you rather convince your captors to leave before Mikey arrives or flirt with them?' Thanks, Venus, I hate it. Since I didn't want this situation to turn weird, I picked the first option, but what was I supposed to say for them to change their minds?

I glanced at my guitar quickly and put it to the side, knowing I couldn't use it here, but I got a random idea.

I stood up, but tripped and fell, shocking the buffy guys with my clumsiness. I picked myself right up and told them.

"Are you sure you want to do this? You know that at the end of the day Mikey will mess you up really badly." But they didn't faze at my threats, probably having a lot of confidence they could take him out together.

"Actually you may not know this, but I am an aspiring artist." I pointed at my guitar and then continued my speech.

"What if you will be captivated by my charm in the future, but will receive hate from me because of this event engraved into my memory?" They all looked baffled.

"Please reconsider, don't you want us to part on good terms?" One of the guys seemed intrigued.

"Then sing something for us." Was his request. Suddenly I felt some pressure but decided to sing the first piece that came to mind, I panicked and heard myself sing part of Renai Circulations.

I wasn't expecting to hear the applause and them agreeing that it would be bad for me to perceive them in a bad light, they asked for my number so they could come over once I decided to play my song live and so they forgot about their original goal.

"Michi! I'm here!" Mikey looked rather furious but looked so cutely confused when he realized I was the only person there.

"What happened, is it an ambush?" He looked up to see if anyone was at the ceiling.

"Well... would you believe if I tell you I converted them itno my fans?"

"Come again?" I decided to explain properly this time.

"I said they would regret doing this to me because I was an aspiring artist and in the future, they could be my potential fans... so after they heard me sing they agreed and dipped." Mikey lost it.

"Draken was right when he said your most useful skill was a honey trap." What was Draken even teaching Mikey? I pouted, but once Mikey stopped laughing like a hyena, he suggested walking me home.
