"Greetings, fuckers~!" Yoshiko yelled happily into the Guilty Kiss clubroom as Riko nearly went into cardiac arrest while reading a book, almost dropping the book on the floor. "How are my little demons doing?"
Yoshiko closed the door quickly. It was very clear she was happy today.
And it seemed like she wasn't the only one.
"Why, things have never been better!" Mari yelled from the other side of the clubroom, making a peace sign with her fingers. "It's time for our debut! We gotta come up with something good to go against AZALEA and CYaRon, something that will make the fucking world go, BAM!" She then made hand gestures, symbolizing an explosion. Riko looked over at Yoshiko, who had a stupid grin on her face.
"Good, good!" said Yoshiko, running over to Mari and high fiving her. She then flinched. "Ow! Shit that hurt!"
Riko sighed in frustration.
"Can you guys watch your language a little bit please?" she asked passive-aggressively as she placed her bookmark in between the pages. She then closed her book and set it on the table. "You guys swear like sailors."
"Hmm…?" Mari and Yoshiko both hummed. Riko looked at them with a dull look.
"Wait, Riko-san, have you ever…" Yoshiko pauses for a brief moment to lower her voice and to form tension in the air. "...said the word…'fuck', before?"
Riko doesn't react. Her dull face still remains.
"No," She says dryly. "I haven't."
Yoshiko smirked, still keeping up with the Yohane act.
"Ohh, so, by any chance, can you-"
"Don't even finish that sentence."
"Aw, damn it!" Yoshiko pouts, to which it looks kinda cute, as if Riko would admit that outloud. "Come on! Say fuck!"
"Look, Yoshiko-"
"Yohane!"
"Yohane-san," Riko sighs and starts to get up from her seat. "I don't really care that you guys say language like that around me. If that makes you guys comfortable, go for it, just please don't swear too much, though that request seems impossible for you two, but at least try. And also, don't get me involved, alright? That kind of language doesn't make me comfortable. When I say it it makes me feel like I'm burning my tongue."
"Wait, wait, hold the hell up," Yoshiko holds a hand in front of Riko. "I thought you said you never said those words before?"
"Uh, well," Riko pauses. She grabs onto the edges of the table and looks down. "Well, maybe a few times, now that I think about it, but-"
"Just say fuck!"
"No!"
Yoshiko strikes a pose from the other side of the table as Mari watches this unfold with a cheeky grin.
"I, Yohane, command you, my most elite little demon, to say the angel's forbidden words so your purity falls from grace!"
Riko shakes her head and lightly hits the table with both her hands. "I said, I don't want to!"
Mari leaves the corner of the room and gets close to Yoshiko. Riko could already tell that this was about to get even worse.
"Heyy, Riko-chan, come on now, say the word fuck~!"
"Oh my g-, not you too!"
"Say it!" The two say together, with eyes sparkling like crystals. Riko found that slightly disturbing.
"No."
"Say it!" They said again.
"No!"
"SAY IT!" They both scream. Riko has a flaming inner desire to grab the chair she was once sitting on and smack the living shit out of them with it. But, she resists, thankfully. Yoshiko's and Mari's life could have ended there.
"Okay, okay, fine, FINE." She finally gives in. The two idiots on the other side celebrate together with a fist in the air. Riko facepalms herself, wondering how the actual hell she lets these two peer-pressure her like this.
Riko breathes out heavily and breathes in just as hard. Mari and Yoshiko stand there in silence, ears carefully listening for their precious Riko to say the naughty word, as if they were kids and just realized that the word fuck exists.
"F-f-fff" Riko stutters.
"You can do it!" Mari and Yoshiko whisper from the other side. They then start chanting Riko's name quietly, to give the red head (and now in this case red face since her face was growing a blush) some encouragement.
"F-Fuck."
The room goes silent. Riko feels like she's about to die.
"Louder! Mari yells. Riko jumps a little bit and nearly falls down on the floor.
"Fuck!"
"LOUDER!" says Yoshiko, trying to get Riko to get out of her comfort zone.
"FUCK!"
"SCREAM IT LIKE YOU MEAN IT!" Mari yells. A few birds outside start to fly away, either from Mari's scream or something unknown.
Riko screams the word fuck as if her life depended on it, her fist clenched and her eyes closed shut. Mari and Yoshiko start chanting again and begin to lose their shit. Riko stops, feeling like some odd power had come over her, and snorted a little bit, but Mari and Yoshiko couldn't hear, as they were both yelling together.
They then came over to the other side of the table and pulled Riko into a massive bear hug, and she felt like both her body and soul were being crushed.
"Alright, Yoshiko! Get her feet! I'll get the head!"
Riko wants to say something, but her words just end up being screams and both Mari and Yoshiko lift her up from the ground and try to throw her up, but Yoshiko gets hit in the face by Riko's shoe as it slips off in the air and hits her right in the nose. Riko's lower body hits the floor, with Mari at least catching her upper body so she wouldn't have a concussion.
"G-god, you're fucking h-heavy!"
Riko wants to protest as she is being lowered to the floor, but she could hear something to the right of them.
The clubroom door opens with a creak.
"Hey, um…" said someone. Riko looks over and sees Kanan peeking through the opening she made for herself. She has a rather awkward expression on her face, looking as if she was trying to figure out what to do. "Is everything okay here? I mean...I think I just heard Riko yell the word 'fuck' down the hallway and Dia's starting to get pissed off."
Riko's eyes widened in response. If there is a worse death than brain damage, then it was one done in the hands of Dia. She knew that CYaRon's club room was further down the hall from AZALEA's, but Dia would do anything to prevent Ruby's innocence from being destroyed by such shameful acts.
"Oh! Um!" Mari starts to panic a little bit and throws her hands up in the air. Riko's upper body falls to the ground, her head hitting the cold floor with a loud ass thump.
"FUCK!" she yells, immediately sitting up and grabbing the back of her head. The room goes silent. Mari looks at Riko with widened eyes, then at Kanan, then at an almost deceased Yoshiko, who once again fell victim to her own curse. She sits up slowly, not saying a word, moving the shoe she got wacked with to the side. Mari looks back at Kanan again and smiles.
Kanan looks out into the hallway then turns back to Mari.
"Hey, Dia is coming down the hallway. I'd suggest you run, or something, before she beats you dead. I'll give you some time, just get going." Kanan slams the door behind her and the clubroom once again falls into silence.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fUCK, FUCK-" Mari goes into a panic, immediately racing to one of the larger windows and quickly undos the lock at the top. She slides the window up with a loud slam, pulls in the closest chair and immediately jumps out. Riko watches Mari as she slides out and falls to the ground on her back, while grabbing her lost shoe from beside Yoshiko, who has also been looking, though probably at something else.
"Mari-san! I can see your panties!" Yoshiko yells as she gets up, still rubbing her nose. Mari says something, but isn't aubile enough for either her or Riko to understand. By the time Yoshiko starts jogging towards the chair, Riko is already there, climbing out of the clubroom as fast as she could.
"Ohh, damn," Yoshiko stares as she waits her turn, watching Riko slip through and fall on her face in the grass. "That's some guilty gear you got undern-"
"Shut up and get your ass, OUT." she says as she brushes dirt off her now crushed nose. She sees Yoshiko's arms and head peek through, and Riko pulls her out, just in time before she could hear the clubroom door being slammed open, probably making a hole in the wall. That would be a pain to cover up later.
Mari had already started running, and both Riko and Yoshiko followed along, running as fast as their legs could take them. The air was plagued with the smell of the ocean. Riko could hear Dia yelling out the window, and her trying to resist Kanan's attempt at saving the three.
Where they were running to, Riko didn't know. She was just-
She was just having fun, that's all. But, that's not something she could admit easily. Either way, she had a massive grin on her face while running behind her teammates.
She was glad they never looked back. She wouldn't hear the end of it if they did.
