Underneath the Bastardity

Chapter 15 - True Feelings

The sight of Pairu and Yuniko right in front of him made Hayaru's blood boil the moment he sees them. Knowing his reaction, Momoi and Mahiru quickly run towards him as Hayaru reels for a punch, while Pairu and Momoi are surprised by his reaction, with the former quickly goes in front of Yuniko to protect her.

"Aru-kun, stop!" Momoi yelled before holding his friend off and pulls him back, making Hayaru struggle.

"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU HERE FOR, YOU BITCH!" Hayaru roared at the two newcomers while Momoi keeps pulling him back, as they're now scared of his rage. Mahiru then stepped in front of him, taking his place of talking to the two.

"Mahiru-san?! You're here too?!" Pairu asked in surprise of seeing her.

"It doesn't matter right now. From what I can see, Yuniko-san is also a part of Hayaru-kun's past." Mahiru then said towards the white haired girl, as the latter nodded. "What are you two doing here?" Mahiru then asked.

"We were worried about Hayaru-kun." Pairu then replied, which Yuniko nods, sharing the same reason. "When we heard that he get suspended, we wanted to find him so we can help him."

"Bullshit!" Hayaru yelled from inside of the house, still struggling to get off Momoi's grasps. With Hayaru still trashing around Momoi's hold, Mahiru shakes her head and moves backwards.

"In that case, I have a proposition for both sides." She then said, earning interest from everyone. "Hayaru-kun, please let the two in, while I'll talk to them on your behalf. I promise you that they won't go any further than here." Her suggestion surprised the two newcomers and initially made Hayaru even more mad, but Mahiru then looked at him with pleading eyes.

"Please, Hayaru-kun..." She said. Against his inner judgment however, Hayaru-kun stopped flailing and calms himself down, before glaring at the two girls outside.

"You better be, bitch." He muttered. With his approval, Pairu and Yuniko excused themselves for entering and closed the door.

Now, Hayaru is standing away from the rest with Momoi making sure that he won't go for another rampage, while Mahiru is sitting in front of Pairu and Yuniko, talking on behalf of Hayaru, as she said before.

"Alright then, I want to make sure that everything will go smoothly. So once again, why are you here?" Mahiru asked the two.

"As I said, we heard of his suspension. We were worried of how he feels after the incident." Pairu then explained.

"That's right. We did hurt him in the past, but we still wanted to be there for him." Yuniko added. Hayaru then called out their claims "Bullshit.", making the two irk in sadness.

"But you were the cause of his change. From my point of view as an outsider, you two are his enemies, even if we're fellow second years." Mahiru then said. Hearing the claim from Mahiru, Pairu stood up in disbelieve.

"But I never wanted any of that!" She yelled, unable of keep her feelings any longer. She then turned to Hayaru, who is raring to punch her again from Pairu's sudden outburst, but Momoi kept him at bay. "Hayaru-kun! I never wanted to break our friendship over the stupid competition. I've been trying to find you, but you never come to school other than during graduation, and I didn't knew just how horrible you were back then, and that I should've been with you this whole time!

I want you to know that I'm truly regretful for my own mistake. I want to find you so we can start over, and I swear that I won't try to break our friendship ever again!" Pairu's true feelings is heard across the entire room, even her sobbing afterwards. Mahiru wanted to comfort her, but she's with Hayaru's side for now, and thus unable to do so. However, at the very least, she gave the poor girl her look of sympathy.
