The Cruel Princess and Modest Prince

The Dark that Covers the Light

Forrest and Masamune made their way to a school storage room that seemed pretty dusty, to Forrest's displeasure. "Ugh... I'm going to have to give my clothes a good washing once I get home." He commented. Inside, was a small girl with a pair of breasts. Forrest recognized her right away. "Oh, it's you." He said. "Hello. You were the male who bumped into Miss Aki." She said in a quiet voice. "Yes. I'm sorry about that." He apologized again. "Why are you so humble all the time? You didn't do anything too bad, everyone messes up once in awhile." She said. "Well, I have to. Otherwise, I might not be able to hold him down." Forrest told them. "Him? Who's him?" Masamune asked. "Never you mind. Anyway, let's start this again. Hello, my name is Forrest Watanabe." He introduced himself with a bow. "My name is Yoshino Koiwai. The pleasure is all mine, Mister Watanabe." She said, also bowing. "No need for formalities. Just call me Forrest, miss Koiwai." He said. "But I must be formal. You are of a very powerful house, so speaking to you with such informal sense would be as close to suicide." She said. "He's like the complete opposite of Miss Aki." Yoshino thought. "I guess that's true. But no one will know if no one finds out." He said. "Fair point. If that's the case, then you can just call me Yoshino." She said. "Fair enough. An honor to make your acquaintance Miss-uh-Yoshino." He said. "Okay. Enough of that. Who are we humiliating?" Forrest asked. "Someone I'm sure you've met before. The Cruel Princess: Aki Adagaki herself." Masamune told him. "What? Why would Miss Aki's maid want revenge on her?" Forrest asked. "Actually, yeah. You helping me seems kinda strange." Masamune said. "I have my reason." Yoshino told them. "Well, I guess that's reason enough. And you Masamune-kun?" Forrest questioned. "A long time ago, ten years to be more precise, Miss Aki completely and utterly broke his heart by calling him a pig's foot, and rejected his love." Yoshino said. "A pig's foot? But he's so attractive." Forrest compliments. "He wasn't always like that. He was unhealthily fat went he was a kid." She explained. "Oh. That makes sense." He said, and nodded his head. "And you? Why are you helping us?" Masamune asked. "It may not look it, but Miss Adagaki and I go way back. I couldn't possibly tell you all the things she's done to me." He said. "But isn't the Watanabe family basically royalty? How could such a small house like Aki's possibly get away with that?" Masamune asked. "I guess it's story time." Forrest was about to explain, when the bell saying that the school day ended rang, the three had to leave campus immediately. "Well. I guess that story will have to wait for another time." Forrest said, and walked away, heading to the nearest restaurant to eat something.

Arriving at a MgRonald's, Forrest looks at the menu. "A hamburger sounds nice. Perhaps I'll try it." He said, and walked up to order. Once he got his order, he sat at a table and picked it up, unwrapping it from the paper. "My first hamburger. I wonder what it will taste like. Being royalty and all, I've never had the chance to eat peasant food." He said, and admired the burger. Finally, he opened his mouth and closed his eyes, getting ready for his first bite, until... *smack.* The burger fell out of his hands, and landed on the floor. "My burger..." He whined. "Serves you right." Said a female voice. Forrest looked up at the attacker, and saw that it wasn't one, but three girls. "Um...I think you need to apologize for hitting my burger. I mean, what did it ever do to you?" He told them. "As if we'd apologize to you. You tackled Lady Aki and even attempted to touch her! The sheer nerve!" The tanned female shouted. Forrest had heard of these girls from Masamune. Kikune Kiba, Kaneko Sonoka, and Mari Mizuno. "Well, I didn't do it on purpose. I tripped on my foot." He said, trying to keep his smile. "We heard that one before. I think you're the one who needs to apologize to Lady Aki." Mari said. "You know...it's probably best we leave it at that... Please. I don't want to get angry." Forrest said, while gritting his teeth. "Whatever. We aren't leaving until you apologize." Kikune said. Forrest began to get irritated, so he just turned to the door, and left the building. "Hey! Get back here!" Kikune shouted. Forrest ignored her, and walked into a dark alley. The three females stood there, waiting for Forrest to come out, but when he didn't, Kikune went inside to see what was happening. Once she was in deep enough, out of ear shot, Forrest spoke. "Haha. I didn't expect you to actually follow. Oh well. Time to get...dirty." He said, and grabbed Kikune by the face so she couldn't scream or call for help. About 20 minutes later, Mari and Kaneko came in to look for their friend, and found her on the ground. "What a shame. I thought you were the smart one, Mari." He said, and he covered both of their mouths as well.

After one more hour, Forrest exits the alley, with a happy(almost wick) smile. He walked back to his home, and started his washing. As he walked away, the three girls only lay there, unconscious and on the ground.
