Pokemon x COTE: Advanced Nurturing Trainer School

Chapter 21: Chapter 21: Behind the mask



-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

On the way, while passing the school building, I saw Kushida from my class walking in. The emotions I felt from her got me curious so I followed her hiding myself with my miracle power.

She went to the stairs and walked up until she reached the rooftop. Midway, I saw Ayanokoji following us but he felt me with his powers so he stopped and went back.

On the rooftop, she first looked around and saw no one so she went near a bench and started to kick it.

"Argh, so annoying! *Kick* It's really annoying, irritating! Why don't she just go and die? They bitch."

The way she's kicking that bench, did she got involved with bench-kun in the past?

"I hate this stuck up girls that think they're cute. Why is she such a bitch? How could someone like that teach me how to study?

"Argh, the worst! She's really the worst, the worst. Horikita is annoying, annoying, so fucking annoying."

At that moment, a wind blew on the rooftop and the the door behind me closed with a loud bang that startled me causing my invisibility to get dispelled. Kushida also looked towards the door due to the sound so her eyes feel on me. Wait, how the hell could something like this happen. No matter how I look at it, it felt like someone's conspiracy.

(A/N: ┌(・.・)┘♪ )

"Huh? Why… are you here?"

"Oh, hello, good weather isn't it?"

"Did you hear?"

"What? If it's about your ranting then yes."

After hearing that she closed the distance between us and stopped in front of me.

"What you heard now… if you ever speak word of it to anyone, I won't forgive you."

"And if I did?"

"I'll spread rumors that you raped me."

"Then feel free. I don't care about some baseless rumors."

"It won't be the case anymore."

She took my hand and put it on her breast.

"Hmm. Pretty big, is that an F? Or maybe a G?"

She immediately put my hand away and glared at me for a moment.

"Now there's your fingerprints on my clothes so what would happen if I report this?"

"Don't know, but it won't be a good thing for you."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Didn't you know there's a camera here? What would happen if the school knew you were trying to trick them" I said while pointing to the camera.

"Shit!"

"Indeed. Anyway come over here." I took her hand, walked towards the bench from earlier, sat there and made her sit.

"What do you want?"

"Could you tell me what happens for you to react like that?"

She hesitated do a moment before saying,

"*Sigh* you already heard me so I'll say it. It all started when Ayanokoji asked me to invite Sudou, Ike and Yamauchi in a study group with him and Horikita and I did it. When we started studying, Horikita and them to resolve a problem which should've been learned during the first year in middle school but they didn't know how to do it. Seriously, how the hell did those dumbasses managed to enter this school?"

"I know right? I'm even wondering how did they manage to get graduated from middle school without repeating a year."

"Yeah, that's true! Also, that Yamauchi if seriously the worst guy I know. He talk about perverted things openly and even say bad things about others without hiding anything. And there were also times when he was masturbating in the class. He's seriously disgusting.

"*Sigh* anyway, I tried to teach them but they didn't even follow my explanations. Seeing that, Horikita started to insult them which led to an argument that caused our study group to break up. Worst of all, she immediately threw them away while saying they were trashes as if it wasn't her who took the initiative to help them. Why the hell did she even try to help them if she threw them away at the first difficulty?

"Also, her attitude is just as if she's the most superior person in the world and that other are just trashes. It's really annoying. She don't know how much effort normal people do just to get decent scores. Also, does she think she's really that good? Does she really think she'll be able to do anything be herself? That bitch's head seems to be missing some screw. She doesn't know how society works."

After finishing her ranting, her face seemed more relaxed than before.

"Hey, Kushida, why do you wear that fake mask of yours acting like an angel toward people when you hate some of them?"

"Why do you care? Do you think I would tell you? Keep you dreams to when you're sleeping."

"Well, I can also try to investigate about your past and it wouldn't be difficult."

"Argh, you're also annoying you know. Fine, I'll tell you.

"Since I was little, my parents were mostly absent and didn't really care about me. Though they have me what's necessary, I felt ignored. They go to work early and came home late. I tried to get their attentions by studying harder and when I showed them the results, they only said "that's good" and didn't really pay attention to it. After that, I tried harder but no matter how much effort I did, I couldn't reach the level of the talented ones.

"Also, I didn't have friends at the time so I felt really lonely. It all changed during my second year of middle school. One day, I saw a girl who fell and got injured so I helped her to go to the infirmary and she thanked me. It was the first time I received someone's thanks so I though it felt good. She also became my first friend after that.

"Since then I started to help more and more people and made more friends. They also helped me to take care of my appearance and I became more popular in my school. My lonely life became lively and I felt really happy.

"As they started to trust me, they also started to tell me about their secrets while also showing me their ugly side. They were talking about bad things about people behind their back. I found it really disgusting but I didn't say anything, I didn't want to lose the happiness I got after my lonely days.

"As the time passed, people told me more of their secrets and some bad things about others. The more I heard the more I wanted to rant about them. I tried to endure it but the more I heard, the heavier I felt so I opened an anonymous account on the web where I said everything that was bottled up inside me.

"Everything was fine until one of my classmates found about that account near the end of the school year of my third year. She knew I was the owner of that account since she found something she told no one but me. She then told everyone in the class about it so everyone ganged up at me and they even tried to buy me so in retaliation, I revealed every bad things they said about the others which caused them to fight each other an caused a chaos in the classroom and the school had to intervene.

"After that, I was isolated by everyone and even my friends from other classes didn't talk to me anymore. My life went back to the lonely one I had so that's why I wanted to have a happy one in high school. That was why I chose this school since no one would recognize me here but on the first day, I found that there was a girl from my middle school who got enrolled here. It was Horikita.

"She was from another class and was always alone so I'm not sure she know about what happened there but just in case, I wanted to make sure she won't say anything about my past. I tried to get along with her but she shooed le away everytime."

"I see, you had it hard huh?" I said while patting her head.

"Huh? You… you're not disgusted by me?" She said with a surprised look.

"Nope, I don't think you did anything wrong. While it's not right either, for me, what you did wasn't wrong, but you could've done better."

"Really? Wasn't it selfish from me?"

"You remember which clan I'm from right?"

"Ah! That's right. You're from that clan."

The Himekawa clan is known for being selfish and whimsical. They did nothing in the last war even after the country lost but when some girls from the clan got raped and gangbanged by some soviet soldiers, they went and destroyed half of the Soviet union territory.

"Well, everyone are selfish. That girl didn't have to announce everything in the classroom but did so. Anyway, you just want to be happy without being lonely right?"

"Well yeah. What about it?"

"Then why did you want to have a lot of friends instead of just choosing a few you can trust?"

"Eh, well… huh? I don't really know."

"I think it's because you went from having no friend to having a lot of them in short time and got exposed to human's ugliness before learning to trust anyone so your vision of friendship got distorted. Well you have three years in this school to learn to trust and find someone you could trust. I'd suggest you to become friend with my girl friends. They already know that your usual self is a fake persona so…"

"What? How did they know?"

"I told them. As a miracle user, I can know when someone is lying and can feel people's emotion so I knew about it."

"Argh, you're really annoying."

"Haha, anyway, you should try to become friend with them without hiding you real self. It could be a good thing for you."

She though about it and sighed before saying,

"Okay, I'll try. But you'll have to take responsibility if it doesn't work."

"Okay. Anyway, it's getting late so I'll have to go back. I still have to help at home. Also, if you want help with Horikita, just call me."

"Hey, Himekawa-kun, why are you helping me?"

"Well, it's just on a whim." I wasn't really interested in her but I didn't hate her either. It was just on a whim that I helped her.

"A whim huh? *Sigh* It seems like the people from your clan are really whimsical. Anyway, let's exchange our contact informations."

After exchanging our contacts, we bid farewell to each other and I went home.

When I got home, the girls were helping our new maids to settle down. The girls that became out maids were Karuizawa Kei, Matsushita Chiaki, Hasebe Haruka, Onodera Kayano, Wang Mei Yu, Inogashira Kokoro, Sakura Airi and three girls that weren't mentioned in the og, their name were Sugimura Umeko, Takishima Emi and Eguchi Rin. From that day onwards, they would live with us.

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

The last three girls are oc side characters I made but they shouldn't have much impact in the story. I'm only planning of using them as maids and side characters.

By the way, there are now only two unnamed characters in their class.

Don't forget the power stones.
