Fukitsu Academy

Chapter 7

"Nababagot na kasi siya rito," sabi ni Zack pero tiningnan siya ng masama nina Demo at sinabing siya lang naman ang nababagot. "Kumakati na kasi 'yan. Gusto nang mambabae." Tumingin si Saph kay Zack dahil sa sinabi ni Stone.

Nagtama ang paningin ni Saph at Zack dahilan para umiwas ng tingin si Zack sa kanya para itago ang pamumula ng pisngi nito. She shrugged her shoulders and continued to eat.

"Cheers!"

Sigaw ng mga babae ang naririnig sa loob ng isang private room sa isang club. There were three of them. One of them was wearing a short white dress, the other one was wearing a sexy black fitted dress, and the last one was simply wearing a pink top and skirt.

"It took us six years para lang makapasok sa Fukitsu," sabi noong babae na puti ang damit. Her hair is long, up to the waist at kulay brown ito. If she went a tad bit lighter, she'd have the same hair color as Saph's.

"About time, Yuri. Nakakabagot magbantay kay Saph," sabi noong babae na itim ang damit. Hanggang balikat ang buhok nito at purong itim. She wore heavy make-up and had black nails compared to the girl wearing a white dress na simple lang ang make-up nito at wala itong nail polish.

"Hey, don't be like that, Sasha. Naging kaibigan rin tayo ni Saph," sabi naman noong babae na kulay pink ang damit. She sported pink boots and had shoulder-length black hair at may bangs rin ito.

"Really, Xyra? You really think we're friends with her?" The girl named Sasha asked. Tumingin si Yuri sa kanila habang inaayos ang puting damit nito.

"Bakit? Hindi ba? We hanged out with her, went to the café, at nag-outing pa tayo noon," sagot ni Xyra.

"That was all school-related. Wala tayong ginawa sa labas ng school kasama si Saph na hindi related sa academics. We hung out with her to buy our textbooks. We went to the café for the study group at nag-outing ang buong school, not just us. Nagsama lang tayo ng anim na taon because we need to complete our junior and senior high school before entering Fukitsu," paglilinaw ni Yuri. Sasha pouted and looked down on her nails. All of them were pastel-colored and some nails had jewels on them.

"'Wag ka nang umasa, Xyra. We can never be friends with Tanakas. Hindi natin sila abot," Sasha said.

"So, ano ba 'yong ginawa natin?" tanong ni Xyra.

"Babysitting a Tanaka," walang ganang sabi ni Sasha at bumuntong-hininga naman si Yuri.

"That doesn't matter anymore. Nakapasok na tayo sa Fukitsu. Our efforts are worth it," nakangiting sabi ni Yuri at uminom ng vodka. Xyra was the only one drinking juice besides the two.

"Pero papasok rin si Saph sa Fukitsu. Parang hindi naman magbabago 'yong sitwasyon natin. Magbabantay pa rin tayo sa kanya," ani Xyra. Umirap si Sasha dahil tama ang sinabi nito.

"We don't need to protect her there. Master Tanaka gave specific rules. Papasok lang tayo sa Fukitsu para makatapos. Bahala na si Saph kung mapapahamak siya sa Fukitsu. That school will test her capabilities at kung pasok ba siya sa pagiging Tanaka," sabi ni Yuri at tiningnan si Sasha na natawa sa sinabi niya.

"That girl can't even hurt a fly," sabi niya. Yuri shook her head in disapproval at tiningnan ng maigi ang dalawa.

"She's a Tanaka. She can burn an entire school with a single tantrum," Yuri said and looked at the vodka in front of them.

"Sasha, don't make it a habit of underestimating Tanakas. Hindi porke't binantayan natin siya sa school natin dati ay ibig-sabihin noon ay hindi na niya kayang protektahan ang sarili niya. If the rumors I hear are correct, they give her special training. Because of that special training, we can't even lay a single finger on her." Tumingin si Sasha kay Yuri dahil sa sinabi nito.
