The next day, everyone sees Aoi all banged up and as usual, they ignored him but today was different.

I went to school, and I ran into Aoi. He was giving off a negative vibe. I thought. Good morning Aoi. I replied. Oh, good morning Haru. Aoi replied. I want you to follow him again, Orchid. I replied. Yes, my lady. Orchid replied.

Out of curiosity, is he acting strange today? Orchid asked. Yes, it is as if he has some intentions of doing wrongdoing. I whispered. Yes, I will watch him. Orchid replied.

The bell rang for classes.

Hey Haru, are you in deep thought about something? Ichiko asked. You could say that. I replied. Hey, Aoi, do you want to join us for lunch today? Ichiko asked. I would love too, but I have an appointment. Aoi replied. He just lied to us with a straight face. I replied. Hey, do you feel like Aoi just told the both of a big lie? Yukino asked. How does she know? I thought. Well, where do you want to sit? Ichiko asked. How about the tree around of school gate? I replied. Sure. Ichiko replied.

Hey, so that is the girl, Haru Higashiyama? Arisa asked. She is gorgeous. I see why that dumb ass couldn't kill her. Denji replied. What the hell, don't gawk at her. Arisa replied. She is drop dead gorgeous and busty to boot. Denji replied. I already hate her. Arisa replied. You can't get mad at her because you have a big breast complex. Denji replied. When Haru and Ichiko were talking, Ichiko was looking outside. Is something outside? I asked. I thought I saw something. Ichiko replied. Soon as class flew by, it was lunchtime. Well, let's sit outside. Ichiko replied. Yeah, I will leave now. Aoi replied. Orchid. I whispered. Yes, my lady. Orchid replied.

Soon as Aoi walked outside the school. Is that Izanami Ono the model? Ichiko asked. Yeah, what is she doing here? I thought. Come on Aoi, we need to go to your appointment. Izanami replied. Alright, my lady. Aoi replied. I've heard that name before. I replied. Seriously, where did you hear it from? Ichiko asked.

When I saw that woman, she gave her a disdainful look. I know exactly who that woman is. I replied. My family has bad blood between her and her clan. I replied. Now that I think about, your family comes from a very prestigious family, right? Ichiko asked. Yeah, I forgot what made us hate her family. I replied. My lady, must I follow them? Orchid asked. Go ahead, I also want to know why my family hates that woman? I asked. I know why your family hates her. Instead of that, I would rather you hear it from the victim herself. Orchid replied. When the car was on the way to Izanami's house, Orchid saw some people. So Orchid went spying on them in incognito. It has been many years since I have seen that little girl. Izanami replied. Do you know Haru? Aoi asked. Do you remember that incident that happened five years ago? Izanami asked. Yeah, a few of our men barely came back alive. Aoi replied. Let's just say that girl is the cause. Izanami replied. You mean she was the one who blinded Ryuu? Aoi asked. You know a few minutes ago you act as you love her? Izanami replied. You know, I think we have a little birdie spying on us. Izanami asked. Let's show them what we are capable of. Izanami replied. A bunch of her bodyguards came out and attacked Orchid. Don't tell me that was your elite? Orchid asked. You know you were always a glutton for punishment. Izanami replied. Don't lay a finger on her. Aoi replied. He kicked Orchid in the stomach. You are an a**hole! Orchid yelled. Orchid punched Aoi in the nose. I don't know why you follow or trust this woman? Orchid asked. I own my life to this woman. Aoi replied. You are a fool. The Ono Clan are evil people! Orchid yelled. I don't believe you!!! Aoi replied. If you don't listen, then I will force you too!!! Orchid replied.

I'm curious about what the backstory between the Higashiyama and Ono Clan? I thought.

When I got home, I saw my Aunt Kaori (Natasha). Hey Aunt Kaori, can I ask you about a certain matter? I asked. Sit down and talk away. Tell me what you want to know. Kaori asked. I sat down and explained everything to her. Well, what does the Ono Clan have against our family? I asked. That family had it in on our family. The Ono Clan is a branch of humans with supernatural abilities. Kaori replied. Seriously? I asked. Yes, and they hate us because they are like monks and the Shadow Dragon Clans are demons that can take human forms. Kaori replied. One of the Ono family members brutally attacked and killed some Shadow Dragons of the North, the Higashiyama Clan we descend from. Kaori replied. Your great-great-grandmother Ai, who was the Shadow Dragon of that generation, took them down the clan down with single-handed. Kaori replied. Were you there when she did this? I asked. Yes, I was a little girl. I admired my mother. I wanted to be infamous like her. Kaori replied. So great-great-grandma Ai took them down with ease. I replied.

I would wish to be that powerful.

It seems they want their vengeance upon us by targeting you and your friends. Kaori replied. Soon as I was done talking to Aunt Kaori, Jeremy Higashiyama (Natasha) my great-grandfather, and he told me that the Ono Clan has an elite squad but didn't tell me the number. Thank you, grandpa. I replied. Oh, can you read my new book? Jeremy asked. Grandpa, I love your work. It is so realistic, as if you are there. I replied. I will tell you the motivation for my books one of these days. Jeremy replied. Where did that cliffhanger come from? I thought.

Later that night, I asked Orchid to tail Aoi and Izanami.

Orchid flew back into the wall. You are one dumb kid. Are you fighting for the enemy? Orchid replied. What the hell do you mean by the enemy? Aoi asked. I wouldn't be surprised if she abducted you as a child. Orchid replied. She would never do that to me. Aoi replied. Orchid jumped and punched Aoi in the face. Aoi got back up and punched her again. I don't believe you! Aoi replied. I know everything, kid. Orchid replied. One day, you will find out on your own. Orchid replied. What are talking about? Aoi replied. Oh, before I leave, why don't you ask Izanami's real name is. Orchid replied.

What the hell is she talking about? Aoi thought.

When Orchid returned, the school had already ended. Orchid met the girls at Megumi's Dojo. Oh, my gosh, who got? Megumi asked. Bite me. Orchid replied. Don't get an attitude with me. Megumi replied. I'm sorry. Orchid replied. Are you ok? Are you hurt? I asked. I am fine. You know I can't die. Orchid replied. Are you one retainer of the Higashiyama Clan? Yoshi asked. Yes, I am. Wait, is that you Princess Yoshino? Orchid replied. Uh, Yoshi, did she just call you a princess? Natsumi asked. Let's ignore whatever you just heard. Yoshi replied. What do you know? I asked. You can get angry if you like. Orchid replied. Haru, if Orchid told you what she saw, you wouldn't believe her. Megumi replied. She was looking outside. How about you girls go home? Megumi replied. Why do you want us to go home? Natsumi asked.

As Orchid and I walked out first. Orchid brushed past Megumi. Megumi tells her. "She has called them out, and they are out for a few people," Megumi whispered. You don't have to worry. "They" won't let them have their way. Orchid replied.
