Class S: Last Elites Standing (COTE fancfic)

Chapter 61: The truth about Ichinose

Ayanokouji POV

On the next day of school, I made it to the classroom as I suddenly met up with Karma. 

"Kiyotaka-kun, have you heard?" 

"Heard what?" I asked

"More rumors were spread across the school" he said 

"Yeah, things have gotten a bit out of hand" Light said 

"Is it still something about Ichinose?"  

"Not this time, because there were rumors regarding both Class S and Class C at the same time" Ryuzaki said 

"It seems that someone has been gossiping about a certain boy, and that's you" he added 

"Why me?" 

"Well at least according to Horikita when she was talking with Karuizawa. You two seem to like each other" Karma said 

"Those are just rumors; I don't think most of it is believable" I replied 

"You sure about that? ever since you saved her, you two seem to be a bit closer than usual and you always seem to be somewhere else. What's up with that?" Yuuichi asked  

"I was just busy" 

"You said you're planning to use her as a tool right Kiyotaka? Don't tell me you're suddenly falling for her?" Yuuichi said 

"Ohh, is Kiyotaka getting himself a girlfriend? if it's true then I don't mind supporting you" Sora said teasingly, not helping 

"I agree with Nii, you two have been close for a while now" Shiro said 

"Yeah, it seems quite odd given that you have been avoiding us for some time" Asuna said 

"Well, the simple explanation there is that Sakayanagi could be spreading this rumor to everyone like how she did with Ichinose" I said 

"He's right, he told me to check up on Sakayanagi if she had anything to do with these rumors and my suspicions were confirmed. I actually saw her yesterday talking to Hashimoto. It seems that they knew about you and Karuizawa" Houtarou explained  

"And she also knows about whatever Ichinose is hiding." he added

"Speaking of Ichinose, she phoned me up just recently and she told me she's currently absent today due to a cold" Kaguya said 

"I see" 

"Anyways, you and Karuizawa huh? anything going on there between you two?" Karma asked while smirking

"Leave him alone, besides let Playboy-kun have his fun" Lelouch said teasingly. Where did that come from 

*sigh* this is going to get very troublesome I'm going to need to sort this out with Karuizawa later.

It was around the afternoon that I'm hanging out with Kei, Karma, and Suzaku. We both just recently bought snacks as we headed back to our dorms until we noticed a cluster of people. It was a mix of Class A, C, and D. Class A had Hashimoto and Kito, Akito, Haruka, and Airi from Class C and Ibuki, Ishizaki, Albert, and even Hiyori from Class D. 

"Hashimoto-kun, did you start the rumors?" Hiyori asked 

"Of course, not" Hashimoto replied but given the recent info that Houtarou had on Sakayanagi, that's obviously not the truth. 

"Besides I think the president doesn't mind if we start getting a little violent" Hashimoto said while cracking his knuckles as Kito joins him. Akito was readying for a potential fight with Ibuki, Albert, and Ishizaki waiting at the helm.
