A Maken-Ki Fanfic

Chapter 8

"...she is not here either...damn it," he muttered, frustration clear on his face. Sweat dripped from his dark hair as he rushed around the Tenbi campus, having just left Aki, he went and grabbed his clothes. He knew that the person he was looking for-Takaki Furan, the president of Maken-ki-had to be nearby.

"I wonder where she could be... hmm, she hasn't even come close to the Kenkeibu building," he thought, fixated on Furan's whereabouts. She had become the main focus of his plan, especially since she had finished meeting with Ouken.

If I let Furan's androphobia get worse and she starts developing feelings for girls, my chances of building a harem will shrink, he mused. He didn't have anything against the LGBTQ community-in fact, he was even trying to win over a girl who had once been a guy-but his jealousy was another matter.

He was possessive about what he considered his own. When it didn't involve him, he was easygoing, but when it did, he became intensely protective. Only HE has the right to kiss and see his women, and he would never allow anyone else to pull a funny one on them.

Some might call him insecure, but in a world filled with opinions, he found such judgments unimportant. After some careful thought, Deimos realized that when someone was having a rough time, they often sought comfort in familiar places or activities.

The key was in the moments before they made that choice, they needed time alone to find clarity. Considering the meeting with Ouken, he knew that Yuuka might sacrifice herself for Furan, putting herself at risk-a scenario he would not allow to happen.

A little before entering Tenbi, he had made sure to cause a little trouble for Ouken the day that Furan was meeting him. He had to tail him for a while, but after seeing Furan enter the building, he made one of the facilities where he created his clones explode.

He just had to wait and let them become a little paranoid, thinking that someone might be on their tail, which made them cautious for a while. He couldn't really stop the meeting between Furan and Ouken, but at least he prevented Yuuka from sacrificing herself, which, all in all, was the best-case scenario.

"! There she is" since coming to the conclusion that she might be behind a building nearby the Maken-ki club room, he has been looking around two previous buildings and has finally found her on his third attempt

She was now in his full view a 5-foot-tall girl with orange hair styled in braids and red glasses. At that moment, he couldn't see her eyes, but he knew they were as beautiful as her personality. He noticed her sailor uniform and her modest assets, which gave her a somewhat demure and serious demeanor.

She sighed and massaged her shoulders, gazing toward the rest of the academy with a distant look, as if she were a girl whose dreams had just been shattered. He believed that, in the not-so-distant future, she would pull through, but what was stopping him from helping her now?

He slowly made his way toward her, careful and silent, not wanting her to hear him until he was close enough to establish a conversation. It felt a bit like approaching a wild animal-as bad of a comparison that may be... but it was one of the previous experiences he has had. He once navigated similar situations with Kawai and Yuki, while Neko was the only one who had been willing to get close to him, likely because of the food he had offered at the time...

For some reason, he felt unusually nervous. Despite the confident facade he presented, he wasn't really that cocky of a guy. Sure, he found himself attractive, which he recognized could come off as a bit narcissistic. But there was a difference between self-confidence and delusion. Regardless, he had rehearsed what to say to Furan for quite a while, and he hoped it would all come together.

"Hey" he called to her softly, trying to keep his tone light. "I couldn't help but notice you looked a bit lost in thought. Mind if I join you?"

The moment their eyes met, Furan froze. Three things went to her mind the first was the fact that the person that talked to her was a man, the second was that the man who talked to her was really handsome, and the third was that the man was really tall. Panic came to her being, so she instinctively pulled back, her body showed signs of apprehension.
