Dueling Princess of Villainy (Being REWRITTEN)

Making Tarts and more Ridiculous Rules?!

[LOCATION: Woods Behind Campus]

After school, Celeste, Ace, Deuce and Grim went over to the woods to get some wild chestnuts, and it was plentiful of them.

"Whoa! There really are a lotta chestnuts here! If we have this much, then it's all-you-can-eat marron tarts for us! Gehehe..." Grim chuckled as he started to walk without taking a certain thing into account. "Let's hurry and—Ouch!! Gah! The chestnut's thorns dug into my pawpads!"

"That's because chestnuts are prickly, so that other animals can't eat them." Celeste told the cat.

"Looks like it'll be impossible to pick them up with bare hands. I would also like to have a bucket to place them all in, too." Deuce said looking around for a bucket.

"Maybe we can find those things in the botanical garden?" Ace asked.

"Good idea." Deuce added as they walked over to the garden.

"Whoa! It looks bigger on the inside." Ace remarked.

"We should be able to find the necessary tools here. Should we split up and look?" Deuce asked.

"Sure, Grim and I will check the inner gardens." Celeste volunteered.

"I'll go right, then." Ace decided.

"I'll check west." Deuce finished.

"Hey, come look at this. It looks like there're tonsa fruits here! They smell so good!" Grim expressed gleefully.

"These are all plants I've never seen before." Celeste said as she looked around, but she wasn't looking where she was going. And the same time, the same feeling she had back at the cafeteria happened, only this time, with her right shoulder.

???: Ow–!

'Wha? Did I step on something?' Celeste thought as she looked down

???: Hey. You've got guts stepping on someone's tail without apologizing.

"Are you the guy tending to this place? Wow, you've got quite a scary mug..." Grim asked the new individual.

???: "I went here thinking I can have a peaceful nap, but then my tail gets stepped on. This's the worst." He grumbled, ignoring Grim.

"I'm so sorry!" 'But It's your fault for letting your tail stick out on the path.' She thought.

???: You... you're the new prefect everyone's talkin about." He said as he leaned in and...(sniffs Celeste)

'H-he's... sniffing me?' Celeste thought in surprise and confusion.

'Urk... I don't know how to explain, but his glares are sending chills down my spine!' Grim thought as he shivered.

???: You think I'm gonna let you off scot free after you just stepped on the great Leona's tail? 'Leona' smirked as he pulled Celeste close to him, his breath ghosting on her ear.

"I can't describe it but even though you have an appearance not suited for a villain, your scent says other wise." Then he looked to her belt. 'Plus, how can a simple deck of cards smell dangerous?'

As he snaked an arm around her waist, and Celeste's face heated up.

"A mix of cherry blossoms and some steel and sand? Nothing I've ever come across, omnivore."

"I already said I was sorry!" Celeste said.

"I will need more than an apology to tie me over." Leona said using his other hand to caress her neck, licking his lips.

Celeste flinched at this and closed her eyes as his face came closer.

.....But nothing happened.
