Second Thoughts (Ayano x Budo x Taro)

Chapter Two

"Oh my! Masuta-kun's crush is joining his club!" cooed Shima Shita. Budo gave Shima a dirty look, but that just made her laugh.
"Budo-senpai has a crush?" asked Mina Rai.
"Yeah, the new Martial Arts member. Her name is Ayano Aishi," said Juku Ren.
"Here she comes!" shouted Sho Kunin, prancing around the hallway. Yan-chan walked towards the Martial Arts club. She greeted all the members.
"This is Ayano Aishi..." began Budo.
"We know who she is! Your cru-" Sho started, but Mina put her hand over his mouth.
"Not now, Sho," she hissed.
"Uh, everyone get changed! Ayano, I'll get you your kit," said Budo.
"Is he gonna watch her change?" whispered Juku to Shima. This caused Shima to release a sudden outburst of laughter, confusing everyone else.
"Here, Ayano," said Budo, handing Yandere-chan her kit.
"Yan-chan is fine," said Ayano, taking the kit. She went to change, and Budo lingered outside, waiting for her.
"Masuta-kun! Just go inside! She's your future wife, after all," whispered Shima in Budo's ear.
"Kindly shut up," was Budo's reply. Despite this, he was blushing. Ayano came out, and Budo went in. The moment he stepped inside, the rest of the Martial Arts members began to gossip.
"Does Budo-senpai believe in that myth about the cherry blossom tree? He might ask Ayano to meet him there on Friday!" said Mina.
"What are you talking about?" asked Ayano, bemused. The rest of the members fell silent. Sho coughed, and Shima giggled. Juku was about to speak, but Budo came out.
"Okay, everyone! Let's start training!" said Budo. He demonstrated a karate kick, and everyone copied perfectly, including Ayano. Budo noticed this and smiled. 'She must be a professional already,' he thought.
"Budo! Why don't you spar with Ayano?" suggested Juku. The others agreed heartily with this, so a match between Budo and Ayano took place. Surprisingly, Yan-chan pinned the Martial Arts Master down a good couple of times. Alas, she was no match for him, for he pushed her onto the ground and held her there. Ayano struggled, but it was no use. She was stuck.
"Alright, alright! You win!" she panted, and Budo let go. He, too, was out of breath, and he went to get a drink. Ayano grinned. She was already a master at Martial Arts - she'd be untouchable if any annoying teachers or Martial Arts club members tried to apprehend her! Unless it was Budo, of course. However, she was sure that she'd be able to beat him after a bit more practice.
"Congratulations, Ayano. You did really well," said Budo bashfully. Ayano thanked him and quickly changed out of her kit. While everyone else stayed to chat and have a laugh, Yandere-chan slipped away stealthily. Osana was taking part in the Cooking Club activity today; she wanted to be a better cook so that she could make treats for Senpai. Ayano tiptoed down the stairs and dashed into the Cooking Club. There was Osana, putting little kitty biscuits in the oven. 'Tch. Pathetic,' thought Yan-chan. She approached Osana and tapped her on the shoulder.
"Hey, follow me! I want to show you something cool!" she beamed. Osana frowned at her.
"I'm not falling for your lame tricks, Ayano," replied the tsundere, and she went back to her biscuits. Yandere-chan was shocked. Osana had seen straight through her! She was just about to leave when she received a tap on the shoulder herself. She turned around to see Budo, who didn't look too happy. He held up a shiny weapon.
"You left this in the Martial Arts club," he said.
