Ayanokouji vs Housen
“So this is what you’ve been reduced to…? Well, I guess it makes sense. But are you sure you wanna nark on me? Even though none of you did jack shit, what do you fuckers plan on doin’ ‘bout the fact that you two tried throwin’ punches as well? You really wanna get suspended along with me?”
"I'm so pathetic at that time…" Horikita muttered.
"Again, I apologize for my actions, Kiyotaka-senpai." Nanase looks down, feeling sad.
"You don't need to keep apologizing. I already understand the reason for your actions so it's don't beat yourself over it." Ayanokouji said.
"Senpai…" Nanase feels better and smiled.
"So this is what you told us earlier, Ritsu?" Haruka asked.
"Yupp! And now you're gonna see it in action." Ritsu replied.
"So who's the gorilla going bananas on the video?" Hakkai asked.
"Say that one more fucking time and I'll stick one up your ass!" Housen shouted.
"If you're referring to your dick, we might have to use a microscope for that one." Angry said.
"Kukuku, this Toman shit is good." Ryuuen said.
"Quit mumbling some alien language, motherfucker." Peh-yan pointed at Ryuuen.
"Say that again after I destroy your face." Ryuuen said in anger.
"How about you keep your mouth shut before I destroy yours instead?" Smiley said.
"Calm the fuck down! We still have a video to watch!" KR shouted.
Even if we appealed that we had only acted out of self-defense, we would inevitably face some kind of repercussions as well.
That being said, we’d still be much better off having a third party intervene than we would letting things continue going like this.
“You son of a bitch!!”
“Stay down retard!”
Back up on his feet, Sudo threw himself at Housen once again, only to be mercilessly kicked back down to the ground. Afterwhich, the first-year finally set his sights on me.
"Kiyopon…" Haruka was getting worried sick.
"I know what you're thinking, Haruka. Stop that. Kiyotaka is going to be fine." Keisei said.
"Remember, he did this for a reason. We shouldn't pry into it until he's comfortable enough to tell us, okay?" Akito put his arm around Haruka to comfort her.
"Thanks, Miyatchii…You really are the big brother of the group." Haruka said while smiling.
"Shut it. Let's continue watching." Akito said.
“How long you plan on watchin’ there fucker?”
“R-run away… Ayanokouji… Kun…”
"I was about to ask why you didn't ran away but then I remembered the last video so I can only guess that it's gonna be violent." Akito said.
"It's no suprise, really." Keisei said.
“Run away? Don’t even think about it. You pussy out here, an’ I’ll see to it that these two doormats are in for a whole new world of pain!”
Even now, I kept thinking.
"Yeah, you think a fucking lot. Doesn't your head get hurt for thinking too much?" Ryuuen asked.
"Atleast he knows how to think, dragon boy." Smiley said.
"I'm gonna destroy that fucking smile of yours if you don't shut your fucking mouth." Ryuuen was getting furious of Smiley.
What exactly did Housen want out of this?
Was he really trying to force us to meet demands that had no chance of ever being accepted?
No, that was just far too unrealistic.
“Horikita. I’ll give ya one last chance.”
“…Last?”
“If you submit to me right here, right now, an’ fork over the points─ I’ll let Ayanokouji live.”
"Lies. What a big fat liar." Nanase said.
'Nanase is becoming too childish. I guess she deserves this kind of happiness after losing the people she cared about. What a cute puppy.' Ayanokouji thought.
With that, Housen stuck his hand into his pocket and pulled something out. It had gotten fairly dark outside, so for a moment it was hard to tell what exactly it was, but once he unveiled its pointed edge, a silver shine glimmered in the moonlight.
"Oh boooo! What a fucking wimp, bringing a knife to a fight! What a fucking loser!" Kazutora shouted.
"Like you're one to talk." Ritsu muttered.
(A/N: I do NOT hate Kazutora.)
“W-what are you, that…!?”
“Somethin’ wrong with your eyes? It’s a knife, plain an’ simple!”
"Wait, don't tell me…" Takemichi was shocked.
"Yupp, he's gonna stab him." Chifuyu said.
From the way the blade sparkled, it was clearly different from one of those retractable toy blades that were often used for party tricks and the like.
“If you turn me down again, I’ll stab Ayanokouji with this.”
“Stop fooling around!”
“I ain’t fuckin’ with you, tho? I’ll gladly stab this punk if it means gettin’ my hands on the points.”
"By points, you mean bananas? You want some bananas up your tight asshole?" Pah-chin said.
"Just wait until I get my hands on you fucks…" Housen muttered.
Wielding the knife in his right hand, Housen slowly turned to face me.
“Still, even after all this I still can’t wrap my damn head around it. What makes a punk like you so fuckin’ special?”
"He's a goddamn masterpiece!" Amasawa shouted.
"I can't deny that. He's so perfect. Ahhhhh, I love him so much!" Kei said.
"Masterpiece huh?" Mikey said.
With his eyes locked on mine, Housen spoke, his voice laced with exasperation.
“Fuck it, maybe I didn’t even need to go an’ do all this risky shit in the first place!”
From the way he was talking, it seemed like the ridiculous chain of events that he had orchestrated so far had all been done because he was wary of something. Expecting something.
He drew closer to me, one step at a time.
However, Nanase, his very own classmate, jammed herself in between the two of us, stopping him in his tracks.
"Oh thank goodness." Ichinose sighed in relief.
“Please don’t go any further! I can’t approve of your methods after all… I can’t!”
She spread out her arms in an attempt to block his path.
“Outta the way, Nanase. Your ass is only here to keep ‘em from escapin’, so know your fuckin’ place.”
"No, you should know your place. I'm sick and tired of you being the leader of our class. This time, I'm going to be the leader and there's nothing you can do about it." Nanase announced.
"Kiss my ass, you fucking bitch. Like you'd be suitable to be a goddamn leader." Housen said.
"Atleast I don't act recklessly like a freaking gorilla. Oh wait, you ARE a gorilla. You should go back to the 1930's since they want the empire state building back." Nanase roasted the shit out of him.
"Oohhhhh! That's my girl!" Amasawa hugs Nanase.
"Yes." Tsubaki gave her a thumbs up.
"You piece of--"
Housen was about to charge in but Ayanokouji glared at him with his true eyes without anyone noticing.
"Tch." Housen sat the fuck down.
"She is one strong girl, standing up to a large man like that." Hina said.
"He does look like a gorilla." Yuzuha said.
“I made the decision to lend you my strength until the very end, telling myself that it was for the good of the class. No matter how deplorable your strategy was, I thought I’d be willing to accept it. But I see now that I was mistaken.”
With her feet firmly planted between Housen and I, she shifted her gaze over to Horikita.
“Horikita-senpai, working together with Housen-kun has been impossible from the very beginning. You were inspired to cooperate with us after hearing him mention Class 2-D back when we came to meet with you in front of the second-year classrooms, but…That was just a ploy to get things to progress to this point. Even if you pay the outrageous fee he’s been asking of you, you’d still be subjected to this same fate.”
"Now that's just unfair." Hiyori said.
"Nothing is fair in this world, Shiina-san. Sometimes, you gotta face the facts." Takemichi said.
"No need to get all sappy about it. Cheer up, you idiot." Chifuyu pinches both of Takemichi's cheeks.
"Ow! Sthap it!" Takemichi shouted in anger.
"Awwww, you look adorable, Takemichi-kun." Hina said.
"Those two literally have the same brain cells." Horikita muttered.
Naturally, Horikita’s distress compiled even further upon hearing Nanase lay out such a shocking revelation.
No matter how hard she tried to negotiate, Housen never would’ve accepted anyway. And this wasn’t her fault either. None of us could’ve predicted that things would turn out like this.
"I call bullshit on that one. This you couldn't predict? Kiss my ass." Ryuuen said.
"My brain is not a supercomputer." Ayanokouji said.
"Yes, it is." Sakayanagi said.
All things considered, this incomprehensible series of events probably came down to an imbalance of information. Housen and Nanase had been given intel that we hadn’t. That being the case, there was no way we could’ve had a proper negotiation in the first place.
“All your yammering is pissin’ me off. You’re the one who asked me to deal with this shit to begin with. Our class’ll rake in shitloads of money if we take out this Ayanokouji guy. Just think of the advantage it’d give us.”
“That is true. However, I just can’t figure out the reason why we need to target him like this.”
"This is stupid…" Nanase looks away.
“That shit ain’t got nothing to do with me. If you’re gonna get in my way, then you can fuck off as well!”
Housen readied a wide swing and swept Nanase aside with the palm of his hand, just as he had done to Horikita earlier. As I stood alone, watching this scene play out in front of me, I arrived at one, single conclusion. And with it, everything fit into place.
Everyone was beyond shocked.
"Now you're just a piece of shit, first-year." Asahina said in a dark tone.
"Does it still hurt, Tsubasa?" Akito asked in concern.
"It's fine now, Akito-senpai. Thank you for the concern though." Nanase said.
"Tch, this just pisses me off." Mikey said.
"He's just like Taiju before." Yuzuha said.
"Does someone believes in gender equality as well?" Sotomura asked.
“Prepare yourself, Ayanokouji!”
He came at me, lethal weapon in hand. Naturally, everybody present was fully expecting him to try and stab me with it. Laughing, he raised the knife up above his head.
I could feel my mind begin to clear as I lowered my stance.
“Ayanokouji-kun─!”
"I can't watch!" Hiyori hugs Ayanokouji again to cover herself.
"Why didn't he told me about this? I mean, I get that it's for my own safety but still…" Kei muttered.
While most people would’ve tried to escape, I rushed at him instead.
And as I did, everyone watching must’ve thought that I’d gone mad.
"Umm, yeah! Ofcourse we'd think that!" Kanzaki shouted.
"But like that pigtail girl said earlier, he's not normal after all." Draken said.
"He's a masterpiece." Amasawa said.
After all, running head-first into an opponent with a knife wasn’t really a mark of sanity.
Especially when said opponent was somebody as formidable as Housen.
Housen’s smile widened even further as I did so. He probably thought that I was a fool for jumping at him.
But I wasn’t trying to prevent myself from being stabbed at all.
As I drew closer, Housen swung his arm, bringing the knife down, slicing through the air.
The target of that knife, what its blade sought─ was not my body.
It was his very own.
"What?!" Everyone was suprised at Ayanokouji's sudden prediction.
"Just like what Ritsu said earlier…" Matsushita said.
"You really are reckless, Housen." Utomiya muttered.
"Boring." Tsubaki said.
I used my left hand to stop the descending blade from reaching its desired target.
I wasn’t trying to grab Housen’s hand or avoid it, but instead let the blade pierce through my palm.
"Ayanokouji-kun!" Ichinose covered her mouth in shock.
"Interesting." Manabu said.
"You surprise me everytime, Kouhai-kun." Queen Kiryuuin said.
"Just like mine…" Takemichi along with Hina, Emma, and Draken stared at his scar on his hand.
"You are one tough bastard. You have my full respect, Ayanokouji." Baji said.
"Woah, it's extremely rare for Baji-san to give respect to someone." Chifuyu whispered to Takemichi.
"Woah really? Ayanokouji-kun really is amazing then." Takemichi muttered.
'Well, it's already been proven by the videos that he's amazing but wow. But the question is though, can he beat Mikey-kun and the others?' He thought.
“Wha─!?”
"How does the stab feel, you fucking beast?" Housen asked while smirking.
"What the hell is wrong with you?! You're even worst that Ryuuen!" Amikura shouted.
"Kukuku, I'll take that as a compliment." Ryuuen said.
This was clearly not what Housen had expected of me. It would’ve been nearly impossible to predict my actions beforehand.
After all, who would’ve thought that someone would deliberately let themself be stabbed?
"You…you are seriously one crazy bastard." Peh-yan said.
"He is really strategic though, I'll give him that." Mitsuya said.
"I've made my decision…" Mikey muttered.
The arm driving the blade froze to a halt, and with it, Housen’s smile vanished as well.
"What's wrong, gorilla? Not satisfied that Ayanokouji outsmarted you?" Ryuuen said while smiling wickedly.
"I'll crush you both, just wait and see." Housen said.
"Oh yeah? When? Sheesh, you and Yagami are the goddamn same." KR said.
"Don't involve me--"
"Shut it." KR cuts Yagami off.
“You… Ayanokouji!”
He was confused. Anyone in their right mind would’ve been after seeing what I had done to myself.
In most cases, my actions here would be seen as hazardous, self-destructive even. Fresh, bright blood soon began spurting out from the wound on my palm.
Video End
"Is your would now healing, Kiyopon?" Haruka asked.
"It healed completely now." Ayanokouji showed his now healed hand.
"Thank goodness." Haruka sighed in relief.
"Kiyopon, I'm really sorry for snapping and slapping you earlier. I guess I was extremely worried about you that I lost my temper. Even worse, I released all my anger on you and you didn't even deserve it. I'm really sorry for everything I've done…"
"Haruka…" Hirata said.
"Haruka… you're such a drama queen. All of us completely understand." Akito said.
"Shut up! I'm not!" Haruka shouted.
"I accept your apology, Haruka. Plus, Akito is right, I understand your actions. That was one hard slap though." Ayanokouji said.
"I'm really sorry!" Haruka bowed.
"Doing your best for the sake of someone you care about is good and all, but you mustn't do anything reckless." Ayanokouji goes close to Haruka.
"Depending on who you're dealing with, it might not end up good. Remember that next time, okay?" Ayanokouji gives Haruka a headpat.
'That's the same advice Mikey-kun gave to me.' Hina thought.
"Mouuu, Kiyopon, I'm the one who's supposed to give you headpats. I'm your mother after all." Haruka pouted.
"Mother knows breast." Ryuuen muttered.
"You never change, Haruka." Keisei facepalmed.
"That's just how she is, I can't believe you haven't gotten used to her quirky attitude." Akito said.
"Ke-Keisei-kun is dense." Airi said.
"Keisei, you're such a dense idiot. Learn to read the mood." UT Shinohara said.
"I gotta agree with them there." Hirata said.
"Keisei-senpai, do you not know how to love?" Nanase asked.
"Shut up, all of you! Why am I getting treated like I'm the culprit here?!" Keisei shouted in anger.
"It's your fault for being a dense idiot." Haruka said, back to her normal self.
"I don't wanna hear that from you." Keisei said.
The Ayanokouji group laughed at Keisei's suffering.
"Sheesh, you're so reckless, Ayanokouji-kun. You got me really worried there." Amikura pinches both of Ayanokouji's cheeks.
"He's fine. That piece of hunk is like the terminator or something." Matsushita said.
"He's my terminator now." Nishino hugs Ayanokouji.
"Get the hell away from him." Kamuro tried to seperate Nishino away.
Soon enough, the four side characters started glaring at each other.
'I have good friends.' Ayanokouji thought.
"Ayanokouji!"
Suddenly, A shout from Draken was heard as Toman was now walking towards Ayanokouji.
"I've seen enough. You really are one tough bastard, like Baji said earlier. But, I still want to see more on how you fight and think at the same time. So that's why…" Mikey stares at Ayanokouji with seriousness in his eyes.
"Kiyotaka Ayanokouji! I proposed a battle between you against us!" Mikey shouted.
"Wait, hold on. Who gives you the right to propose something so bizzare like that?" Horikita asked.
"I did as long as Ayanokouji approves." KR replied.
"You are the worst director ever." Hashimoto said.
"Shut it or I'll expel your snakey ass." KR said.
"I have to decline your request. I don't like fighting when it's unnecessary." Ayanokouji answered.
"Huh?! Did you just decline Mikey?!" Pah-chin was about to charge in.
"Now's not the time, Pah." Draken said.
"Just agree, Ayanokouji. Mikey won't back down from this until you accept it." Mitsuya said.
"I like to fucking propose something. I want to beat the shit out of these two." Ryuuen said while walking towards at Peh-yan and Smiley.
"I've been wanting to beat the shit out of you as well!" Smiley started cracking his knuckles.
"You got something more to say, punk?!" Peh-yan said.
"How about I get into this as well?!" Suprisingly, Housen joins in while glaring at Hakkai and Angry.
"You got a problem with me, Gorilla?" Hakkai asked.
"You really wanna get your ass pummeled." Housen said.
"Oh my, this is getting very interesting. I'd say you should agree, Kouhai-kun. As student council president, I approve this." Queen Kiryuuin said.
"I would like to see this as well. Reconsider your choice, Ayanokouji." Manabu said.
Soon enough, everyone started mumbling whether or not Ayanokouji should accept.
"Wait a minute, stop. Ayanokouji-kun has no reason to fight Toman in the first place so don't force him to do this." Horikita said.
'You know me well, Horikita.' Ayanokouji thought.
"Do it, Ayanokouji-kun."
"Huh? Shiina-san?" Nishino was shocked that out of all people that would support this, it had to be the cutest human being of this school.
"Mikey-kun, what is your purpose of proposing a fight with Ayanokouji-kun?" Hiyori asked.
"I want to see his full strength, both physically and mentally. It won't be a fight to the death but a battle to see who's the strongest." Mikey answered.
"I see. Even though that answer of yours is a bit invalid, I still want you to accept this, Ayanokouji-kun. I believe in you can do this." Hiyori said.
"I agree with Shiina-san. You can do this, Ayanokouji-kun. Whether you win or lose, I'll always stay by your side." Ichinose said.
"I…" Ayanokouji can't find the right words to say.
"Ayanokouji-senpai, prove to them, not just Toman, but the whole school that you are the amazing masterpiece and the man that I really worship and love." Amasawa said.
Ayanokouji looks around and it seems that everyone wants him to agree.
"You can win this, Kiyotaka. Your cute and beautiful girlfriend believes in you." Kei said through eye contact.
"Show them who you really are, Kiyo." UT Shinohara said.
"Kiyopon." Haruka walk towards Ayanokouji.
"Normally, I wouldn't approve of this since you'll get yourself hurt again but…I believe in you can win this. I really believe in you fully, Kiyopon. So please…" Haruka was now smiling widely and says…
"As your new mother, I want you to go out there AND KICK SOME TOMAN ASS!"
Everyone started shouting his name, begging him to accept.
'How troublesome. Well, I guess I can't escape this one. I'll play their little game.' Ayanokouji thought.
"What's your answer, Ayanokouji? Yes? or No?" Mikey asked as he raised his hand.
"I accept but remember this." Ayanokouji then whispered something to Mikey's ear.
"I will not be holding back."
"Me neither."
Ayanokouji and Mikey shake hands.
Everyone cheered.
"It's actually gonna happen, huh." Takemichi said.
"Yupp." Chifuyu replied.
"Quick question, where are you going to fight though? This auditorium isn't suitable for fighting." Mashima-sensei said, who suddenly returned along with the other teachers.
"I got you! Everyone, prepare yourselves as I will teleport all of us into another place!" KR shouted.
"Ritsu! My Queen! I'm gonna need your help for this!"
"You got it!"
"I suppose I'll lend a hand just because of the fight."
The three of them then snaps their fingers at the same time, making everyone teleport to another place.
"Here we are everyone!" Ritsu shouted.
"Where are we?" Hina asked.
"We are inside of a replica of the Colosseum but more modern!" KR answered as he snaps his fingers, making everyone teleport to their seats except the participants.
"Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to the first ever Crossover Fight!" KR shouted and everyone cheered.
"Joining along with me are the four annoucers, Akito Miyake, Keisei, Yukimura, Takemichi Hanagaki, and Chifuyu Matsuno!"
(A/N: I didn't make the two fight because for Takemichi, Hina is there and as for Chifuyu, I really don't want to.)
"Gentlemen, I'm glad you could join me today." KR said.
"Glad to be here, KRawr. It's disappointing that me and Takemichi won't be participating but I can already tell that this fight is going to be worth remembering for." Chifuyu said.
"Now let us see the match card!" Akito said as he pressed a button, showing the match card to everyone.
