Calm down! What...what did happen!?) Hina: (Oh right, we were attacked by some strange guys, and he threw me into the river!) *Hina's flash back* Hina: What are you going to do about this!! Nishizaki: There's my relative's house near by so come. If you go home like this, you will catch a cold, and they're still around too. *end* Hina: (We've got here, I used the shower first and..... And I was tired and just went to bed!) [Nishizaki gets up] [He sees Hina, but goes and wash his face, get's something to drink. After a couple of gulps, he finally notice of Hina's existence] Nishizaki: Why are you here!? Hina: That was slow. Nishizaki: Oh right, yesterday... Hina: Thanks for letting me stay here. And, hey listen. Um, I want to ask just incase but.... Nothing happened yesterday.......... Right? Nishizaki: You were more wild(how she sleeps) than you look. Loud too(her sleep talk). Hina: You jerk!!! [throws a table and a chair at him] Didn't think you were that rotten!! How can you do that in someone's sleep, couldn't be worse!! You're no human!! You beast!! I won't bear with this silently. [throws another two pillows at him] I'm going to the police!! Nishizaki: Say that after you do something about your cylinder shaped body!! [throws a pillow back at her] Why would anyone do something to a mokey like you, who they can't even tell if it's a girl or not!! Hina: Lies!! You would do it!! Nishizaki: Ahh!? Then should I make a fact that you can actually go to the police!? [grabs her whrist] Hina: No...! Let me go. (No good...! I can't act up in this...!) Kyou cha...! Nishizaki: (Kyoucha?) Nami's note: Hina was actually calling out for Kyou chan (her uncle), but Nishizaki heard kyoucha(a kind of tea) Natsumi: Stop right there. Can you do the rest outside? This is supposed to be a collective housing area, and we can't have so much noise. Hina & Nishizaki: ........... Natsumi: To at least not have you mis undrstand for the sake of that idiot's honor, Nishizaki: Who you calling an idiot!! Natsumi: Yesterday, right after you got out of bath, you slept on this bed spread out wide. Then he came out, kicked you off and got the whole bed to himself. Around at dawn, you got cold and went into bed yourself, and a good sleep till morning came. Hina: How dare you kick me off!! Nishizaki: That's not the point! Hina: (Thank God that nothing happened.) Hina: Thank you for everything. I'll wash the clothes and return it. Um..... Natsumi: It's Miyabe Natsumi. I'm that good-for- nothing's relative, and like a sister. How do you do? Hina: I'm Mishima hina. (She's beautiful....) Natsumi: So, don't you guys have school? Hina: Oh, the time! Well, thank you! You keep in mind Nishizaki!! Nishizaki: Keep what in mind!? [annoyed] Natsumi: She's like a typhoon. Your likings have changes. Was she your kind of type? [Nishizaki pulls her and kisses her] [Natsumi puts her cigarette on his neck] Nishizaki: Oww!! Natsumi: don't fool around with an adult. Here, your clothes. Are you still doing stupid stuff? There were some blood on those. It's about time you stop making your mother worry..... Nishizaki: Shut up! Don't lecture me, we're now only relatives. ***** At school [Koshiba awaits for Shirayuki] Koshiba: Is that your answer? That's too bad. Fare well, todays your last day. It's a different story, if you still have the nerve to come, after having your identity revealed. Shirayuki: I don't know how you searched about it but... What you have is a proof that I can get the snakes. Nothing absolute. Koshiba: So that's why you didn't think much about it? You took this too easy. [hands her a picture] Shirayuki: ? Koshiba: What do you think that is? That's a snake which appeared in our class. Look closely at it. You see the thing sparkling? ***** Hina: (I'm gonna be late) [sees Nishizaki up ahead] Nishizaki: (This is tiring. Oh well, I'll skip for today) [turns around] Hina: We're gonna be late!! [hits his face with her bag] Nishizaki: I'll kill you!! [He chases after her] ***** Koshiba: That's a foreign-made nail polish and sparkle, which you can't get around here. And you have the same one on you right now. In addition, that snake is very rare. One of the few snakes imported. Want me to show you a list of components? Shirayuki: It's a made up lie. koshiba: That's what the others will decide. Shirayuki: I think there's no use! Just a bit of addition on your side won't change this school. You too will soon come to see the reality. I think Mishima san understood enough about it..... Koshiba: ......what do you mean? Hina: That hurts!! Don't touch me!! Nishizaki: You're taking too much advantage of me!! Shirayuki: !! hina: Oww! Koshiba: What's with the unusual combination? Hina: Oh Koshiba, listen. This and that happened, and I had a terrible time because of him..... Nishizaki: How can you say that to the savior of your life!! If I hadn't saved you, you would've been done with. Hina: Yeah, but it was your fault that we had to have ourselves in the river!! [They walk away fighting] Koshiba: Seems like you've got some dangerous friends. Didn't think you were going to directly get her. I only thought usami Ru was the target. Shirayuki: What are you talking about.... Koshiba: The exact moment with the bell, at the end of period 4, your identity will be shown on every computer screen at school. Shirayuki: Wait, I said I don't know anything. Koshiba: It's too late, you got me angry. I'll bring your true self into light. ***** At the 4th period (computer) Hina: [yawns] (1 minute till the end of period 4. I'm hungry.) Koshiba: Piyoko, the teacher is glaring at you. Hina: Oh who cares about a computer class. Koshiba: If you keep that up, you will be lost in the digital society. Hina: That's fine with me. (Right, gotta dash to the store!) FIVE FOUR THREE TWO ONE [The bell rings] Teacher: This is all for today. Turn off your computer property..... student 1: What's this? student 2: Teacher, the screen is kind of weird. student 3: Virus!? student 4: Isn't this a virus!? Teacher: Quiet everyone, don't touch it. Hina: What, what? Did it go wrong? Koshiba!? [He leaves the class room] Koshiba: A virus which occur as my program starts to function. You are the only one that came up in mind who can perform a trick like that. Ishiki! Ishiki: Sorry, I seem to have hurted your pride. Koshiba: What you did is pointless. Not if you don't kill me and shut my mouth. I'm going to the announcement room and tell everything right now! Ishiki: Are you sure you want to tell the information you hacked, from your own mouth? You will get caught. A reptile importer, client list of a pet shop, school's main computer. I know you can come up with more. If you wish, I can proove it? Koshiba: I didn't screwup to leave a proof. And you just broke every computer in school. Ishiki: Not all of them. Koshiba: .........alright, I'll give up on this. If I do it face to face with you, it'll be bad. Probably worse. And why do you defend her(Shirayuki)? She was going to finish off Mishima Hina, you know? Oh, make one thing clear for the things to come. Whether you are an enemy of Mishima's or an ally. Ishiki: You guys are the ones who made the proclamation of war. Enemy, aren't I? Koshiba: I got you. [Slams the door behind him] Koshiba: (He's on my nerves!! I see he's so up for the match. What a mis calculation, I thought he wouldn't make any move. Damn it, I will bring him down!!) [Inside, Shirayuki comes out] Shirayuki: .....why did you defend me? You don't think anything of me. You used me, knowing about my feelings. But that was ok, because I thought someday, you would turn to me. Because I believed that I was the closest girl to you.... She's hateful to me.....!! If it's as is, I don't know what I might do to ........ [Ishiki punches the wall behind her] Ishiki: Next time you get your hands on Mishima Hina, you are dead. [He leaves her] [She was so shocked that she couldn't keep herself standing]
