Chapter 5
Ding-a-ling !
The school bell rang. Mr.Takahashi's class got over. "Miss,Ichika do you have a second please ?" Mr.Takahashi asked smiling.
(Minamoto's face turned red with anger) "Sure sir, how can I help you ? " Inoue replied. "No you don't need to do anything, I just wanted to call your name out ha..ha..ha" Mr.Takahashi laughed weirdly . He called Inoue by her first name intentionally just to poke Minamoto and he knew it well. Minamoto couldn't handle his anger and took him to the teacher's common room by pulling him "bye-bye Miss Ichika" Mr.Takahashi waved his hands. Inoe could not understand what expression she should give because she was confused. " Sato, Hina don't you think there is something between Mr.Takahashi and Minamoto, they are behaving like they know each other very well"
Takemichi made an uncertain statement. Inoue didn't say a word ,as she was wondering about something" Inoue, come out from your dream world , I know what you are thinking there is nothing between them , just don't listen to this air head " said Sato by shaking Inoue."Air head ! What do you mean by 'Air head' Himari-chan " Takemichi flared up "'Chan' how many times do I need to tell you to call me only Sato or only Himari not Himari chan or Sato chan" Sato shouted . "Then why did you called me Air head" Takemichi bawled . They started fighting throwing books , bags and bottles on eachother. And suddenly Hina came between those two and said in a creepy voice " if both of you do not stop all this right now then get ready to face me..." (After hearing Hina they both stopped arguing and went back to their sits ) " She's Scary " "Scary...." Takemichi and Sato mumbled shivering to themselves. "Inoue don't worry about Minamoto there's nothing in between Teacher and him" Hina tried to comfort Inoue " What ? No I wasn't thinking about Minamoto I was just wondering about Mr.Takahashi. I feel something strange about him and that is...not right, it might be my infatuation but still... " Inoue seemed worried. (Hina believed her words and she also began to suspect Mr.Takahashi).

In the staff room
"How dare you to call Ichika by her first name again ?" Minamoto screamed on Mr.Takahashi. "I will do what I want to , you are the prince on the bunny land not here I have my own freedom . And yeah if you are thinking that am here to hurt Ichika then you right...(Minamoto's eyes broaden) this is what they asked me to do . But you know...I do what I like . And I don't want to kill her... As you know the queen well she won't keep quiet because she don't trusts me at all, the demons are on their way be ready for the combat " Mr.Takahashi grinned like a cheshire cat...and left. (The ground slipped under Minamoto's feet as he learned the fact now the queen is behind Inoue )

"Takemichi , oye... Takemichi ! Takemichi" A guy from their class came running , gasping and calling Takemichi's name loudly . He was holding a letter in his right hand. "Kuro what's the matter ? Why you are gasping so vigorously ?" Takemichi asked . " It's a letter from the 10 grade class 3 students they challenged us" he answered " What ? Why ?" Takemichi was stunned. "Just read the letter" he replied " Okay, what.... ?" Takemichi shouted out loud after reading it "Why the hell you are screaming like a goat you air head " Sato came yelling..."it's a letter from the famous class 3 sakura group , they challenged us to participate in the annual cultural festival and to beat them in all competitions especially in creating a play and performing it better than them" Takemichi replied. "What ? And why the hell they are messing up with us ? " Sato asked . Takemichi vexed out and asserted "A girl in their group tried to talk to Minamoto but he completely ignored her, her group wants to avenge her humiliation from us because Minamoto is one of our group members, especially Inoue. Because she has seen her with Minamoto together many times , and do you know who that girl is?" "who ? Wait don't tell me it's her !" Sato was staggered . "Hmm.. it's her" Takemichi nodded his head."Shit ! we dug our own grave, now how could we protect Inoue" "it's all that jerk's fault "Takemichi blew up with rage,he ran to Minamoto and screamed "Oye, bastard what's your problem ? why you always cause troubles to us and Inoue?" "What the heck are you blabbing about ? And what did I do now ?" Minamoto replied "like you don't know, class 3 students are behind us because of you.They are great at extracurricular activities all over the school they know we can't compete them that's why they challenged and want us to beat them as well. And do you know why they are doing this ? (Minamoto didn't understand anything) Let me tell you, because you ignored Fujiwara Yui the most popular girl in our school . She saw you with Inoue and now she wants to take all her anger out on her..." Said Takemichi" it's okay if they want to compete with us , we will" Inoue opined coming from behind Minamoto "Inoue ! You know...." Takemichi was trying to say something and just then Inoue said "I know Yui-chan hates me because she saw Minamoto and me together, I heard you. Yes, it's true that they are better than us. But if we give our best we can also reach the top. So, I think it's better to work together than to fight amongst ourselves. And I don't think it's Minamoto's fault because he didn't do anything intentionally.(Minamoto felt overwhelmed to see Inoue taking his side, Sato agrees too, and Takemichi still wants to punch Minamoto but he can't say no to Inoue) " Namie Amuro, I hate her... How long have I been waiting for a day like this! I think I'm going to face her and this time I'll just make her taste the bitter flavour of losing " Hina gave a creepy smile. She scared all of them out of their wits . " I think we should start preparing from now on we only have 1 week in our hands" Sato opined. "Yeah Sure " Inoue took out her notebook and started listing the competitions that going to be held in the festival." So, they want us to create a play and perform it better than them ? " Inoue made a query "but how we will do it we have never done this before " Takemichi added striking the table. When Inoue was scratching her face pulling her hair out of pressure Minamoto stated " We can do it , I know a place where we can practice for the competition " "that's a cool idea and I can bring the costumes from Miss,Iumi my dance teacher ,she also makes fashionable clothes" Hina affirmed. "Ohh thanks a lot guys I guess now we can do it , I will write the story" Inoue jumped with excitement . "Great , guys but please let me know what should I do, don't ignore me like that" sato shouted " " Sorry Sato...we forgot you...you can carry on practicing your kendo because am gonna add a character in my story as strong and kind as you " Inoue articulated " that's it..." Sato sighed "No... you can also help me out to decide who will play what character" Inoue replied " Fine so when we are going to start it " Sato's mood suddenly changed and she seemed quite ecstatic than others. "I'm going home am not interested to do anything here or at this jerk's place " said Takemichi . Inoue was trying to convince him and meanwhile "So, you are afraid of losing from those chums or it's like you fear to lose someone special" Minamoto avered pointing Inoue . "Stop pissing me up over and over again ,I don't want to answer any of your damn questions" Takemichi glowered at Minamoto "That means you are just a scaredy-cat" Minamoto just kept poking him by asking strange questions one by one "you jerk..." While Takemichi was going to punch Minamoto Inoue came in between those two and bellowed out "Stop ! Stop ! Stop ! Both of you not again, I know you can't be friends but at least try to support each other till the end of the cultural event , please !please ! please, I beg you two...." Inoue screeched and a tear rolled down from her left eye. She fell down on her knees and cried."Ichika!" "Inoue!" They both mumbled her name . "If you can't be friends then at least be good to each other but don't fight like cats and dogs...we all are in one group if we can't stay together for some moment then how could we beat the Sakura's. So I think we should admit our defeat by now " Inoue pleaded "we are not that weak ,Ichika !" Minamoto enhanced his hand to support Inoue and said "Takemichi , I know you hate me and I don't like you either . But you know i don't want us to admit the defeat so easily. Even when we aren't wrong , I joined this group because your group's unity impressed me a lot . Our enmity is at it's place we can never be good buddies . But right now for me it's really important to beat them . So , until the end of the cultural festival 'Am ready to be your ally' what do you think ? " Minamoto kept his opinion while extending his hand towards Takemichi . After hearing Minamoto , Takemichi looked at Inoue and replied " Fine ! Am ready to be your companion but till the end of the event " " I know..." Minamoto smirked. Inoue's eyes sparkled . " Oye ! Inoue just chill yourself up now everything is alright " Sato verbalized. "Yes , Inoue ! Ichika ! Don't worry we won't fight again" They both professed enhancing their hands to support Inoue glaring at eachother . Inoue stood up on her own ignoring both of them. She really seemed happy.(Minamoto and Takemichi both groaned with dissatisfaction) " So let's begin.." Hina shouted with a great enthusiasm.
