Chapter 20 - Marika's Arc : Hatred

In a Mansion. Marika awakes on a room that full of stuffs. The Album and Cover Photo of ForTune Band. She stand and looked all parts of that room. She saw a little picture of her band "Scarlet Dream" posted in a wall.

"You're awake already, Ayasaki Marika" A Violet haired girl suddenly entered the room.

"Who are you? Why i am here?" Marika asked.

"I just take you for some reason. Scarlet Dream. It's a Interesting group of yours." She smiled and looked at her seriously

"what are you planning? destroying it? disbanding it by yourself?" Marika moves backward as she cross her arm to defend herself.

"I have one purpose. To act like you. In other words I will take your part on that group and act like you. It's to easy to do. Ayasaki Marika"

"You need to stay here forever. No one will save you and no one will hear your scream. Wanna know my name? I'm Kurumi. Kurumi Tachibana. The Daughter of CEO of ForTune Band." Kurumi added.

"Why are you doing this? I didn't do anything wrong from you!" Marika tries to go outside but Kurumi pushed her away.

"Try to ask yourself. Maria-san." Kurumi closed and locked up the door as she dressed up like Marika and changed her hair color to act like Marika.

"Take me at St. Lucario Academy." Kurumi ordered.

"Understood, Milady"

Kurumi and her butler leaved the Mansion as Marika still shocked when she heard her old name.

"M-Maria??"

At Music Club.
After the class. Yukina started to think about Marika. She thinks that it was her fault why Marika has been taken by those guys. Karatsu and Kisara arrived along with Hidashi and Rin.

"I'm glad that you're here! M-Marika.."

"Marika?" Hidashi asked

"Marika has been abducted by unknown person.. What should i do.. I didn't protect her.. Marika is a part of my life.."
Yukina looks away from them and she looks depressed.

"An-chan.. We need help our friend. Marika needs help." Rin start to worried about Marika.

"What shall we do now, Karatsu? We're not dealing with a students. We are dealing with gangster or whatever." Hidashi said while putting his hand on his pocket.

"Ka-chan?" Kisara looks at him seriously.

"Fine. We need to tell this to everyone. Including Tetsu. I think he can help us to get Marika out on that place. I don't know why is this happening but i'm going to make sure that Marika will save." Karatsu responded.

"Kisara, I will borrowed your boyfriend for a while. I have a serious talk with him." Yukina asked her seriously

"Ahh.. Yeah.. Fine..." Kisara felt a little jealous after giving her a permission to talk with his boyfriend.

Yukina bring Karatsu in the Rooftop and suddenly locked the door.

"I thought you're worried about Marika?"

"I do! Just listen to me. Actually, Marika was born in a rich family. The Ayasaki Family. She's the only daugther of Himuro and Sora. She told me before that she's always getting kidnapped by those bad guys and her family paid the ransom the money that those bad guys wants, It happens 3 times. Her family cares about her no matter what happen" Yukina sits on the floor then let Karatsu sit beside her.

"3 times? So... This is the 4th time she get kidnapped?" Karatsu asked.

"Yeah... Marika is honest. She never lied to anyone. She's always telling the truth even she made a mistake. The first time i meet her. She's like you. She's a loner, kind, and don't have many friend. She's a Anti-social. She hates people. I think that incident gives her a trauma." Yukina looks down then thinks about Marika.
