She Makes Me Happier// Oka X Ayano

Chapter 11. Where Did You Go, Love?

The next day, Oka went back to school with Ayano.

They were walking side by side.

Oka tried reaching for Ayano's hand but Ayano pulled her hand away.

"Can I hold your hand?" Oka asked politely.

"No." Ayano said sternly.

"Wh-Why not?" Oka asked, kind of hurt.

"It'll hurt too much when you let go." Ayano smiled.

"Well, my hand will never leave yours for long." Oka replied.

"You've convinced me." Ayano slipped her hand into Oka's.

They got to school and took their white outside shoes off and put on their black inside ones.

"Good bye, Oki." Ayano kissed Oka's nose and walked in the opposite direction of Oka.

Oka watched her walk away until she disappeared from sight.

She sighed and walked up the stairs slowly.

"Miss Aishi, are you paying attention?" Rino snapped her back to reality.

"Oh. Uhm, yeah. Global warming, bad, and stuff." Ayano blinked a couple of times.

Rino rolled her eyes and continued teaching the class.

The school bell rang and Ayano immediately left, disappearing from the classroom before the bell finished ringing.

Her phone vibrated and she quickly unlocked it.

1 new message read her notifications.

It was Info-chan.

Get to the Info Club ASAP. It's about Oka. Don't bring any weapons.

Ayano looked around to see if anyone was watching and then ran as fast as she could to the Info Club.

She burst into the dim-litted room and stopped in her tracks when she saw Nemesis and Info-chan having an argument.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Ayano demanded.

"It's okay, Ayano. Calm down." Info-chan assured.

"Look, Ayano. I really don't want to fight you. Oka... she was kidnapped. And we know who captured her." Nemesis explained.

Ayano's whole world stopped.

She tortured Muja before and she was planning on torturing Oka at first but now she could hardly bear to think about her love being tortured.

Her breathing went faster and she felt lightheaded.

Ayano's eyes felt heavy. Her knees buckled and Info-chan caught her before she made contact with the floor.

Nemesis helped her on to a chair and got her a water.

"Wh-Why?" Ayano blinked, tears threatening to pour out of her eyes.

"We'll get her back once Info-chan finds our destination. I know we've had our ups and downs-" Nemesis was interrupted.

"It was just downs." Info-chan corrected.

"We've had our downs. But Oka is my cousin. I want to help her. We'll have to work together." Nemesis crossed her arms, as if she disagrees to her own plan.

"She's... your cousin..?" Ayano asked, controlling her breathing.

"Yeah. Now, Info-chan. Please explain who did this and why they did this." Nemesis smiled fakely.

Info-chan rolled her eyes and pointed to a screen.

"No way."

"I hate to say this, but yes way." Info-chan shifted her feet every 2 seconds.

"Why?" Ayano blinked back tears, but failed the mission which caused tears to trickle down her cheeks from her gray blank eyes.

Info-chan sighed and hugged Ayano.

"I'm sorry."

Nemesis looked down and rubbed her own arm, wishing she had someone to hug her.

"I just need to find the location. We'll find her, Ayano." Info-chan reassured and started typing away, faster than Ayano could make out.

"I'm sorry, Ayano. But this is how the world is." Nemesis rubbed Ayano's back in attempt to comfort her.

Ayano tensed up at Nemesis' touch.

Nemesis took her hand away quickly (a little too quickly) and cupped her hands like Oka used to do.

"Gotcha! Sending location to the GPS on your phone, Ayano. This is gonna be like a mission. You two are going to have to work together." Info-chan looked at the two enemies.

Nemesis' red eye met with Ayano's intense gray eyes.

"This should be fun." Nemesis commented sarcastically.

"I couldn't agree more." Ayano crossed her arms.

Ayano's phone buzzed. It was her GPS.

"Let's go." Ayano went straight for the door.

Info-chan grabbed her hand before she could leave.

"After school."

"I don't give two demons about school, Info-chan. I'm going to find Oka. Make up an excuse for me. I don't care. Bye."
