"She should know what's going on," Umi fumed. "Yoshikawa Nao is the worst."
Yuri bit her lip. So, it hadn't been her fault that Natsuki wouldn't talk to her? Blackmail seemed like something that only happened in her novels or in a movie. It certainly didn't feel realistic. Of course, only days ago, Natsuki was in her arms, crying her heart out.
She must never get the chance to cry, since Natsuki never seemed to run out of tears. Yuri just wanted to protect her. After all, she felt responsible for the tiny mess. Natsuki was like a sister to her, and sisters protect their younger sisters. That's all this was, right? Protectiveness?
"I need to do something about this. Akara shouldn't have to go through this," Umi stated. "It isn't fair."
"I don't know if there's much we can do, Umi," Yuri sighed. "This situation may be out of our hands."
Umi pursed her lips. She slid to the floor, her back against the wall. "There has to be something I can do," she inquired, pulling out her phone.
Umi and Natsuki
Umi:
Yo shortstack
Natsuki:
Didn't I tell you never to call me that again?
Umi:
Yeah yeah yeah whatever!!! There's something we need to do
Natsuki:
Like what?
Umi:
Don't you want revenge on Nao?
Natsuki:
Kind of, yeah.... She beat me up in the bathroom once
Umi:
Omg really????
Natsuki:
Ya...:(
Umi:
WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING
Natsuki:
Why do I get a feeling that this is because of Matsumoto~senpai?
Umi:
It has nothing to do with Akara
Natsuki:
Yeah and I'm tall and graceful
Umi:
0////0
Natsuki:
Well what's your plan?
Umi:
I don't exactly have one...
Natsuki:
You mean to tell me that you interrupted my beauty sleep? It's one in the morning, Umi!!!
Umi:
Look, I'm sorry, but I really need your help...
Natsuki:
Ugh. Fine. What do you need me to do?
Umi:
Well.....
You said that Nao beat you up, right?
Natsuki:
Yeah. It wasn't that bad compared to some stuff I've had before
Umi:
We could catch it on video and show it to Akara
Natsuki:
Aha! So this IS about her
I knew it
Umi:
NO! Like... Not really...um...so Akara will break up with Nao and ruin her reputation
Natsuki:
Ah, so without popularity and power, she's nothing?
Umi:
EXACTLY
Natsuki:
You know, I'd be willing to do that
Umi:
Natsuki!!!
Natsuki:
She can hardly pack a punch compared to some things I've endured.

"You seem like you want her to get beaten up," Yuri observed.
"No, of course not. I just really need this plan to work. You're probably right, though. It's selfish of me to request that she get beaten up for the sake of someone she barely knows."
