Liar, Liar, the Mage's Desire Vol. 3 (Return of the Oumeno)

The Bully (1)

Another story where Himiko's the new girl!

   DING-DONG-BING-BONG!

   DING-DONG-BING-BONG!

  The bell rang, signaling the beginning of school. Though Himiko had been going to Hope's Peak Academy for a month, she still found herself getting lost around the school. Just the curse of being the new girl at school, she thought to herself. To ease her mind, she decided to get a soda from the vending machine. She decided on a strawberry Panta. When she found out her crush, Kokichi Ouma, was a fan of grape Panta, she couldn't help but want nothing but Panta herself. 

   "Urrghh...nyeeehh...come on, you stupid...open up!" she muttered in annoyance, twisting the bottle cap with all her might. But, no matter how hard she tried, the cap wouldn't budge. "Nyeh...what a pain," she sighed. She wormed her way among the other students, trying not to be late for first period, when she noticed a tall, buff girl at her locker. Due to the girl's immense size, Himiko didn't want to approach her, but she really wanted a sip of her soda. In the end, she decided to approach the girl.

   "Um...excuse me?" she said in a timid voice. The girl viciously slammed her locker shut and turned around slowly to face Himiko with a menacing look on her face.

   "What? " she scowled. Himiko gulped and held her bottle out to the girl.

  "Nyeh...c-could you open this for me, please?" she squeaked. Still scowling, the girl snatched the bottle from Himiko. With ease, she twisted the cap right off. However, Himiko must have been unknowingly shaking the bottle because the soda fizzed all over the buff girl, soaking her completely in the red, sticky liquid. Nearby students gasped at what had just happened, and waited in silent horror for what would happen next. The girl glared at Himiko and bared her teeth.

   "This...was my...favorite...shirt," she growled in a low, threatening voice as she angrily threw the now empty bottle to the ground.

   "I-I'm sorry," Himiko apologized. "I-I didn't m-mean..."

   "Do you know who I am, maggot?" the girl asked, cracking her beefy knuckles. Himiko shook her head. "I'm Nanako Hayashi, the Ultimate Butcher. And you, little girl...are dead meat! AAAARRRGGGHHHHHH!!!" She lunged at Himiko, but Himiko ducked in time. She ended up punching someone else's locker, leaving a massive dent in it.

   "Aaaahhhhh!!!" Himiko screamed in terror, running away.

   "COME BACK HERE, PIPSQUEAK!!!" Nanako roared, running after her.  Himiko ran through the hallways, dodging the other students. Nanako barreled her way through the other students, shoving some of them into their lockers. Himiko rounded a corner and ran further down another hallway. She noticed that Nanako's yelling was fading, but she was still close enough. As Himiko rounded another corner, panic flooded her body as she was now faced with a dead end with boys and girls bathroom doors staring her in the face.

  "WHERE ARE YOU, SQUIRT?!" Nanako's voice echoed. Himiko looked around frantically for somewhere to hide. She didn't want to hide in the girls bathroom; that would have been too obvious. She wasn't going to try the boys bathroom, of course, because that would have been too awkward. She found a trashcan in between the bathroom doors and rushed over to it. She lifted the lid of the trashcan and hurriedly shimmied herself inside. Right as she closed the lid, Nanako entered the hallway.
